Why are people considering trading Wingard?

Yes had a stinker but spent half the game in the vest, and has potential to go big/avg 90+/QUOTE]
He was subbed half way through the third when most players are normally subbed and was getting absolutely smashed.

When he has big games he still doesn't tonne up which is why I've avoided him
 
ugh, langdons BE is 109, cant say I love that, was hoping it would be lower

Langford gets 47 which isnt horrible but not great either

Shenton with -65 and mood about 50k this week :D

Impey into the negatives again, hopefully can put another good game together and generate something for later in the year

Langdon > Jaensch
Gunston > Zorko

Leaves R. Murphy as D6, Higgins as F6, and I'm definitely happy to run with that for a couple of weeks. Leaves Hartung/Shenton as my last true upgrade for M8.
 
If Enright and Jacobs both play:

Currie -> cheap as chips non-playing ruckman
L.Taylor (thank you for your service) -> Gray

Leaves me with:
Danger, Harvey, Parker, Martin, Roughead, Gray

Skipping the Jaensch wagon if Enright gets up, otherwise the straight sideways (upgrade). If needed, SMitchell will be back at some point cheap as chips so I'll sideways Enright then.
 
Had planned to just try and generate cash this week, but heck, plans can change right?

T. Cutler -> ???? (Thinking go someone like Aylett, who only needs to play one more game, someone who might get a run soon, or just some bottom priced)
K. Kolodjashnij -> Burgoyne

Leaves a backline "finished" with Bartel, Swallow, Malceski, Hibberd, Shaw, Burgoyne

Then then the following week, get rid of Griffen who I think was worth the risk, but hasn't been as good as I'd hoped
B. Acres -> Z. O'brien (assuming he plays this week and named for next)
Griffen -> Fyfe

Leaves a "finished midfield with Ablett, Pendlebury, Beams, Watson, Selwood, Murphy, Goddard, Fyfe

After these I'll have 11 trades with only Ambrose to upgrade before I could maybe get nit-picky about one premium over another

Who to get as that backline rookie? I know a lot of us are in the same boat :(

Any other thoughts/suggestions?

That's spot on. I didn't really notice that until I was looking at my final fwd spot. You watch the game and think "holy f*** Wingard is a star", then he somehow scores sub 100. Avoid
 
Taylor > Lennon
Langdon > Hibberd

Do you have enough cash to go above Burgoyne? Like McVeigh?

I don't buy into the Burgoyne hype, think there are much better options.

If you were deadset on him, wait a week and save yourself some cash.

Could maybe go the midfield upgrade this week instead.

Who are your backline rookies?
 
Any help on what to do would be nice. I've dropped down to 6k overall.
Here are some options i'm thinking just made pictures so it's a little bit easier.

Option 1 ~ Cotchin>Rockliff and Lloyd>Honeychurch

Option 2 ~ Cotchin>O'Brien and Lloyd>Gray

Option 3 ~ Langdon>Jaensch and Cocthin>Treloar

Option 4 ~ Leave my team as it is maybe trade Langdon>Jaensch and next week Cotchy>Mid Prem and Lloyd>Downgrade

Langdon is ripe for picking.

Rockliff is hard to say no to.

Option 3: How much cash would that leave you before picking Treloar?

I've got Cutler and Gardiner from the Lions

I would have gone McVeigh if I had the money, but I can only muster up $525k best case scenario, leaving McVeigh and Simpson out of reach

A bit left field, but I could go Kolodjashnij down to a rookie, then play Cutler/Gardiner on the field. Use the coin to upgrade Ambrose -> Dahlhaus

Really it only means swapping a low scoring F6 for a low scoring D6. Carry on with the Fyfe trade as planned, then when S. Mitchell comes back, he'll be easier to grab than any other premium
 
I'm pretty happy (after a broadly terrible season thus far) with my defenders, mids and rucks. This is a week to fix up my forwards a bit before grabbing little Steven Eejay in a couple of weeks and Mitchell when he comes back in defence. As such:

Lloyd --> Tex
Roughead --> Parker

To give me:

McVeigh, Swallow, Hibberd, Johnson, Langdon, Hanley (Webster, Bews)
Ablett, Pendles, Beams, Jelwood, Watson, Goddard, Fyfe, Hallahan (Taylor, Acres)
Sandilands, Mumford (Derickx, Thurlow)
Danger, Parker, Breust, Wingard, Tex, Shenton (Cameron, Ambrose)

If anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear them but I reckon, pending teams obviously, this is how I'll go.
 
Far out, Jack Grimes has pissed me off. Need to upgrade him, but in order to do that I have to downgrade T.Cutler, but to who???????

Omg you need to have your head examined!! Griffen is a gun and copped the best tagger in the game. Unbelievably you are planning to ditch a bonafide SC gun the week before he plays Brisbane and probably scores 140-160 before going on to average 115+ for an injury prone Fyfe who will almost certainly be injured or rested by Ross in SC finals. Silly.

I thought Griff would be a gun too when bringing him in, but he just hasn't been performing this year for whatever reason, compare his scores to Fyfe

120< 1 V 3
100-120: 3 V 4
80-100: 1 V 0
80>: 4 V 1

Take out this week and Fyfes average is 120.

And while Fyfe hasn't been super spectacular in his few years, Griffen isn't really the "bonafide SC gun" you're saying with season averages of 68, 72, 63, 80, 88, 93, 108, 105, 116, 93*

If I was one of those thinking of trading Dane Swan you'd have a point, but I think Griffen -> Fyfe is a great trade that gets me one of the games top 10 midfielders
 
I'm scared to bring in Zac O'Brien because that means I'll be stuck with ZOB and Acres at M9 and M10, with no DPP cover
atm I have Shenton and Acres at M9 and M10, and I'll be very reluctant to move Shenton fwd

I'll be waiting a week on ZOB anyway, see if he can star and really cement his spot, he is 23 yo so he might not need to be rested like the 1st/2nd year rookies

I think it's too sideways. Over a season yes - however from here on in I think Fyfe will out score him by 5-7 PPG tops...fyfe is injury prone, has sloppy disposal at times, has a coach that rests gun players (brissy round 22 perhaps?) and gets rubbed out too - why waste a trade! IMHO of course

I can definitely see where you're coming from. But with 15 trades left I feel like I can afford to do a few sideways trades to chase those extra few PPG, and I think it'll be closer to 15 than 5-7

Also, if not Griffen I don't really have anyone else to upgrade, if I do the Kolodjashnij -> Burgoyne my backline is settled, Griffen is my worst midfielder so that's settled, I can't yet upgrade my F6 so I'll have to wait on that, and rucks are in a similar situation as Griffen, Macintosh is getting by alright, but could be upgraded to someone better.

I don't mean to sound like I'm shooting down you're opinion, and I definitely appreciate the feedback, but I just don't see another trade that needs doing more so than this one (other than those I'm doing this week of course, which I'm still not 100% on)
