Most crucial trade week of the year and I'm pretty perplexed...

This is the team with $195K in the bank....

1743030146801.png

My thoughts are:

1. Paton to COS
2. Tsatas to Henderson
3. FOS to L.Ashcroft/M.Reid (not sure which one?)

This is the aggressive cash gen approach, with the idea that I can do crappy rookies to Bice and B.Smith (if healthy and good score this week) next week.

Other thought is to do FOS to Freijah instead (getting one more crappy rookie off field, especially in defence) but I'm not sure if Freijah will be a keeper once Bont and/or Treloar come back? It may also mean I can't afford rookie to Smith next week, but JHF or someone else may need trading out anyway is Smith looks the goods and is fit.

One last temptation is to do JHF to Rozee with JHF plummeting in value and playing forward too much and Rozee being the main man in midfield and about to dine out on the Bombers but I think that's likely too sideways? and was thinking of giving JHF another chance tonight.

It also feels weird trading out rookies I would normally keep with Tsatas still to make money (2 week absence the only motivator) and FOS having great JS, likely DPP in a few weeks and I think capable of increasing his scoring but keen to supercharge my cash gen to upgrade as soon as possible, especially with 40 trades.

Any thoughts please? or better ideas?

i'd consider JHF to sinc (mids) and next week bice and a mid/forward (maybe smith) moving sinc back
 
I take it every Kent that owns him is trading out Short?

His role looked absolutely gross last week and watching Ben Miller do kick in after kick in was a punch in the Chol.

Can turn him into Dale for currently a +60pt average bump for like 80k. Seems a no brainer.




Basically this week I'm turfing all the mid price punts I started wirh that have failed after 2 games. Come away with +$200k in the bank for next week.

Short > Dale
Mckercher > Freijah
Sanders > Lindsey

Annoying I'm missing out on Henderson but there's nobody really else worth correcting to get him in, and Lindsay looks the preferred out of the 2.

Carrying Reid, Trainor, Paton and Leake in my last 4 def positions is what's really hurting.
 
I want to trade either Day or Moore for Lindsay. Any thoughts?

It's a tough call but as a Hawthorn supporter, I would lean to trading out Day. I actually think Day is more likely to average more than Moore but....Moore is much more likely to be a top 10 forward than Day is to be a top 10 mid by year's end. Moore has averaged 90+ every year since breaking out 3 seasons ago. He's been a top 10 forward each of those years. Day is getting better and better but has not yet cracked the top 20 mids. The other factor that sways it Moore's way is that Moore hasn't missed a game in those 3 years whereas Day hasn't had a full season yet.

I don't think either are a priority trade out but if you're picking one to drop, I think Day is the obvious call given the above.

Cheers mate!
 
Day is prob the only uninjured mid pricer / premium I'd be moving on. Has struggled big time in the second half vs Swans and the next 2 games with attention, is almost certainly copping Bedford this week, then a bye and has the 140 dropping off.
Looks like a player who hurts a team hugely without a tag but can be shut down fairly easily which makes him a prime target for teams this yr.
 
Have ended up trading Tsatas, simply because I realised it was probably a bit daft skipping Lashcroft to hold onto an Essendon midfielder who can't hit targets by foot.

Will ignore COS, as much as I don't want to.
Hopefully we have some decent defensive options to downgrade to in the near future (Bice, El-Hawli, Allan if he gets a run). Coverage is thin at the moment, but the best 18 rounds help to alleviate those deficiencies.

FOS, Sanders and Tsatas
To
Callaghan, Lashcroft and Lindsey.
 
I needed to get NOD ....that meant downsizing a player out of form, likely to play more FWD (42% CBA's last week) ....and losing $$$$

Welcome to my FLEX Callaghan ....who now covers the weakest rookie on each of my DEF, MID, and FWD lines

Konstanty selection is still fluid 🤔

Questions?
I already have Bice, Knevett, Henderson, Davidson, NOD and Hewett. Should I be scrounging around trying to get Lindsay and Levi aswell before the price rise, or will I get sufficient cash anyway. And is Levi a shoe in for DPP as mid/fwd, and when do the new DPPs get introduced?
 
Entertaining dumping Short for Kane Farrell, thoughts?
As sideways as it gets IMO. Neither are keepers and you're not really making cash from the move – I wouldn't

DPP's introduced after Round 6 I believe. You've got plenty of cash coming in so not a must. With that said, more cash never hurts and Lindsay looks good for $150K+ profit so it depends on whether you have someone lacklustre to cull? If so, you may as well. If the rest of your side is looking decent and it's a trade for the sake of a trade, hang on to it and use it when you really need to. There are lots of trades but everyone always wishes they had one more for a key move later on.
 
Cheers mate!

No worries!

Got any reciprocal thoughts on my situation please?...

I haven’t done the maths, but any chance to get Whitfield/ Zorko for Stewart
Get in Callaghan too?
