Round 6 - Teams, Trades & Discussion.

[Alaska]

This is working well I just have to think of getting a player and they go out, at least this is better than after the trade. Now who else can I curse I need a backman to replace Carrazzo mmmmmmmm Scotland, Goddard, Suckling, Drummond……

The curse continues I managed 2 out of 3.
I picked Drummond for DT and Goddard for Virtual only Scotland in SC survived. But the backline is still sick Lids (knee), Birchel (knee) Smeddts (sub) and Hargrave WTF did he go walkabout?

Are you saying Goddard is out ?

No, just that as soon as I pick him up he spuds it up

[Banker]

Nathan Fyfe has reportedly injured his shoulder again at training today..

[Frosty]

Ablett not playing, Kennedy (WCE) out for 12 weeks, Fyfe serious doubt...they're dropping like flies

[Squids]

Might be time to get rid of Porps anyway

Sydney, Geelong, Carlton, Collingwood, Freo in the next 5 games

[Squids]

Hargrave not even listed in injuries list, dare say he copped General Weakness Soreness which will apply to many GWS opponents as the season goes on.

No he is just carp.

[Brodlach]

Nathan Fyfe has reportedly injured his shoulder again at training today..

Mentioned on the 9 news that he had surgery and will be out for 3 months

When is the right time to take the cash cows to the slaughterhouse...

When you think they wont make you any more cash or when you see a newbie who's at a baseline price and about to go boom.

So would trading in Devon Smith for Darren Pfeiffer fit that?

You'd make $97k on the trade alone and Pfeiffer is guaranteed to jump in value (provided he plays) and Smith is likely to drop in value if he plays.

[OnSong]

Smith isn't likely to drop in value but if you need the cash, a trade like this would make sense.

[Masha]

Just had a look at the bye rounds, a one of the rounds has StKilda, Carlton and Richmond (IIRC). This means my backline loses Goddard, Scotland, Deledio, Ellis and Morris. Looks like I need to make the most of Ellis and Morris in the next couple weeks and upgrade for some guns who are not in this bye period!!

[Q.]

Who for Fyfe?

Sidebum, Cloke, Beams

Given it's the last bye round, it shouldn't be too hard to upgrade/downgrade Morris & Ellis to players that have already sat out their bye.

The byes are looking very messy for me too, particularly the third bye round where I would lose 12 of my current 30, including 5 of 9 midfielders.

It's OK though Im playing The Cat Empire in that round I'm sure REB has mucked up the bye rounds too.

[Alaska]

Who for Fyfe?

Sidebum, Cloke, Beams

I took your advice when this first came up and have been very happy!

[Q.]

So I should perhaps take my own?! Leaning towards Sidebum at the moment.

Yes with Ball gone he is getting more of the ball

Possibly, I'd like to see what Pfeiffer's role is like more though as he doesn't really score too well just yet.
It's pretty slim pickings though with rookies coming through.

So you could be stuck with all those Giants for a while then?

[OnSong]

I don't think stuck is the right word. Been pretty happy with them so far.

Not keen on Pfeiffer as he looks like a fringe player at the Power.

Consistency is a concern, Bugg, Giles & McDonald have been the only 3 that have produced on a regular basis.
Others have gone alright at times.

[Q.]

Yep, Giles & Bugg look like keepers.
