Trades 2026 Round 8 Trades | Boosts poll

[Jiska]

Fat rookie for Retschko likely.

Then a rookie upgrade to anyone really. Maybe Clark. Maybe Archie. Maybe Holmes.

 

[54Dogs]

Retschko likely in if he goes well

Maybe Touk but a close watch on the performance of the falling mid premos. Finn, Clugg and Brayshaw

 

[stevebbb]

To Bont, or not to Bont

With a ~130 his BE will be ~160

They have Freo at Marvel, where they'll probably lose (no rucks and no KPDs)

If English, Lobb, Arty, etc. return, I'll grab him, but leaning towards waiting one more week

 

[Significant]

Double downgrade for me (Retschko and maybe Sharp?). May go early on a player, as it looks like there may be multiple decent downgrades for R9 trades...

From memory Freo are usually one of the teams Bont usually plays his best against.

Just wait till the 60 drops out, easiest R9 trade of all time

 

[Goats]

How much will Bont be next week?

 

[SC fish]

One up one down not sure who yet

Rookie + rookie + kitty > Fin. + Touk is the plan

See just above this post, mate
Say G'day to Nick Watson and the other kids at Hokwarts for me

 

[croweater 41]

Possible double down next week out of Jagga, Blamires, Poo, Jaques (see what the weekend brings) Retschko and someone else on the bubble maybe an Edwards although this plan is slightly flawed as there aren't a great deal on the bubble it would be going early on some.

$140K itb.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Probably none. I went early on Retschko in order to get Grundy. I do want Petracca but i dont think there will be any good way to get him. Ideally i hold Bruhn & Duursma a little longer but will reassess after this round is completed. I may have enough $ to downgrade Jaques and upgrade 1 of Bruhn & Duursma to Petracca but im perfectly happy to take a week off trading if the chips dont fall perfectly in my favour.

We haven't tagged yet this year, they did use Wagner for that sometimes lay year but usually JL just lets Serong go head to head with whoever.

Edwards likely to stick? I'll go double down plus boost if so

 

[croweater 41]

I hope so. It may come with a slight shuffling of the deck with Dawson maybe more behind the ball at the expense of Bond which in turn may hurt Milera for those looking at him (after having discussions re Milera in another thread I didn't give this a thought sorry).

I think he should get a solid block of games to the bye at least, and looking ahead its a softer draw with Port Richmond and North before the Hawks and a bye. So I would hope he holds on until the bye at a minimum.

 

[stevebbb]

Arty Jones was listed as 1-2 weeks. It would be nice if he's back. 80 in his last match and M/F DPP.

I'd be keen for a 2 down/1 up this week, build the bank for a double up in rd9.

[jdwood]

It's going to start being bargain hunting season in the midfield - Richards, Clug and Anderson will all be very attractive prices.

I don’t think Richards is fully fit.

Luggage and Callaghan are locked for me in the next few weeks.

Need to start factoring in the upcoming byes, they're fast approaching.

I'll target Suns players in rd13, Trac or Touk, maybe Nando as well.

Whitfield and Ash in rd14.

Serong or Brayshaw in rd15.

Bont at 580k in 2 weeks …. Tasty

 

[Exambolor]

Barring carnage MID and FWDs are set for a bit so need to grab some bye friendly defensive upgrades as I wasn’t able to get to anyone worthwhile this week
