Roy’s Real Estate: Round 18

Posted by Roy on 30/7/10 • Categorised as Trade Talk

Well, the last round of the season is upon us. So much depends on where your team is placed at this time of year, as to whether its worth burning a trade. If you have locked in a top 4, or are safe in the 8 with no chance of cracking the four, its safe to hold trades if you are getting low. If you need % or a win to play finals as opposed to the Tit Head cup, trade away! Here is a look at what could get you over the line.

I’m going to look at some ultimate forward and midfield inclusions with price and unique”ness” to consider bringing in this week.

Forwards:

Jonathan Brown: It’s been a long time between drinks since Browny has cracked 3 figures but I think he is ready to go. Traditionally against the Cats as the Cattery, Browny struggles to get 60, let alone push 90 as he did last week. Taking into consideration that he scored almost all of those in the second half, I think Melbourne will struggle to contain him in his first game back at the GABBA since his layoff. To think running into finals JB can be picked up for $303,200, you be dreaming… but its actually true. I’m thinking this may be the “semi unique” 140 hit people may need to get them over the line.

Alan Didak: Face it people, Dids is running hot and is a must have for any finals campaign. No longer is he completely shut down by a tag and to be able to pick him up as a forward, its a no brain-er. Don’t be turned off by his annoying “shimmy” which commentators seemed to cream their pants over (losers) just look at the 122 he scored to back up his 114 from the previous week. Apart from the great scoring, the best thing about having him in your team is that you get to cheer for him, and no longer hate him. He is priced at $398,400 and must be considered a bargain, even at that hefty price.

Lance Franklin: Due to niggling injuries and stupid suspensions, Buddy has flown under the DT radar for most of the year. It’s time to wake up and smell the…. um, numbers. In the last month BudWOOD has been smoking hot, averaging 108 and looking unstoppable. He seems to be playing right of the edge of a massive breakout game if a few things go his way. Lancey is priced at $416,000 and looks set for a whopping 100 to get a few teams over the line through the finals campaign.

Mids:

Colin Sylvia: I’ll start the mids with Warnies mate. Apart from his awesome form, the reason I am starting with him is because you can also select him as a forward. In the last month since recovering from his detachable toe, Col’ has averaged 117 including 124 against the Swans, who usually give his scores alot of grief. On the positive side if you make this selection, it is unique, it would mean 2 people have him (share with Warnie). On the negative side, his name will remain Colin. Priced at a bargain $388,000.

Adam Goodes: While on on the duel position train, I might as well mention my main man, Adam Goodes. While many wrote him off as he endured a couple of poor weeks, even falling victim to Chop’s chopping block, he has bounced like all good DTers should. In the last month, the big fella has been allowed to get into the game through the midfield and mix it up with a forward role. well, guess what? it’s working, he has averaged 123 in the last month and is rolling into finals baby. With Sydney chasing a top 8 spot, look for this form to continue. Priced at $422,000, he was at about $322,000 5 weeks ago, so I hope you are good enough at maths to see where he is headed.

Joel Selwood: Hello, people seem to have forgotten about me in the DT world, my name is Joel and I am absolutely killing it. In the last month Selwood has been an elite dream team-er. He had a slow start to the year and many people wrote him off far too early. Coming off an awesome 162 to follow his 118, it takes his 4 week average to 123. In the same period Gazza has averaged 106 which must cause a few Barlow trade regrets. He is still reasonably unique and well worth the $447,600 tag. Grr I hate that word “tag”.

Well, good-luck, may all your finals aspirations come true haha. Use today to give us a rundown of why you will, or will not trade this week as well as your planned scenario’s to get you over the line. On another note, we have an interesting situation in out league where a locked top 4 team could throw a game to help a fellow DTtalker make the finals. It would be a low act, but hey, “whats the offer?” haha. Is there any dirty play going on in your leagues?

I’m really tempted to get Riewoldt into my team for the finals
Is this a good idea? Or is it too risky?

  Hes only going too get better.

    July 30, 2010 • 7:51 am
    
    Yeah, I agree
    But coz i only have a tiny bit of cash in te bank, I’d have to trade O’Keefe out
    Is it a bad idea?

    +1
    
    i think his 90 off just 16 possessions or so last week has shown us, he doesnt have to do much to get a decent score but when he does have a blinder hes always up near the 130-140. Get him while hes cheap

hey boys, i need your help.
my mids currently are monty, gaj, bartel, stanton, boyd, simpson with shuey and gysberts.
now bartel is out this week and im sure there will be more in the next few weeks, so my question is, should i ride the doughnuts and hope shuey or gysberts gets back or should i trade one for say hardingham. 4 trades left
- PurpleArmy
  July 30, 2010 • 9:19 am
  
  if your in a good position on the ladder, just take the Bartel donut i reckon. Might i add though that Monty could be a late withdrawl this week afer his injury last week. Havent heard anything on his front just yet but you could be down 2 in the mids. I think Gysberts is out for the year personally, says 2-4 weeks, Shuey just needs a couple weeks in the WAFL to regain fitness so he could be back too . Id be holding onto those 4 trades if i was you

  I have the same problem with both Rohan and Shuey on my mids bench. Thinking of bringing in X clarke for Rohan and taking advantage of his dpp in the backline. Is this crazy ?
  
  Btw this trade also allows me to bring in Voltd for Pods.
  
  With both Bartel and Montagna in my team and no bench cover, i’m royally screwed so i NEED TO TRADE.
  
  Fuck i sound like a junky haha

Trading the jPOD to Sylvia this week. A bit of a risk with injuries but I just feel with form on the board, historically he does better in the run home and now getting played full time midfield. I doubt he will be rested unl;ike a Chappy(although i didn’t have the big dosh for Chappy). If he can keep up a big average over the remaining rounds, I will be sitting quite pretty.
He has averages 97 against his remaining opponents over his last 3… I believe he can average about 105-110 in this run home.
Fingers Croosed I’m right!
Great write up ROY once again

I’ve decided that I’m going to use up my trades and hope for the best.
I’ve 5 left and I’ll be using 2 of them this week to turn Pods into Voldt and Bower (worst pickup of my year) into Scotland.
Even though win or lose this week i’ll finish 6th or 7th – I’ve realised I need to make at least these two trades, plus another one or two next week, if I want to strengthen my team up enough to play in more than 1 elimiation final.

Okay….

I’ve managed to free up some cash for this round and have $600K and one trade left for this round. I’m looking to beef up my forward line, which consists of; Chapman, Grundy, Kennedy, Ebert, Murphy, Tippett, McPharlin. I’m gonna trade out Peterson or O’hAilpin which should leave me with about $800K.

Didak? Goodes? or Rieiwoldt? Anyone else?
- JamesChaff
  July 30, 2010 • 11:30 am
  
  If this is the last trade you plan on doing, Goodes. Form incredible. Looks rad.
  However if you need some cash in the future, go Voldt. That extra coin could be very useful elsewhere.
  Thought about Bud?

Could really use chooks rooks right now.

Who is a good downgrade option in the forward line?
- Blue boys
  July 30, 2010 • 11:56 am
  
  No such thing as a good option………Dennis-Lane (swans) if he gets named.
  Others in mix are Gunston (crows), Andrew Moore (Port), then potential 1st gamers this weekend are Lynch (Saints), Hicks (Richmond) and Jones (Bulldogs).
  
  The cupboard looks a little bare i think.
  - Resh
    July 30, 2010 • 12:19 pm
    
    What about in the defence? Decided to downgrade in there to preserve good backups in FWD and DEF come finals time..
    
    What cheap (less than 100k) defenders are most likely to play?
    - Blue boys
      July 30, 2010 • 12:38 pm
      
      No-one!!! Andrew Moore (port) is $125K and DPP (fwd/back) and may get few more games.
      O’brien from Brisbane might snag 1 or 2 games if he is lucky (dpp fwd/back also).
      Campbell Heath from Swans has played 2 games but not sure he will get 3rd.
      
      Oh wait a minute, there is one other option but he is $102,000…………………no thats too much.
      Well i’ll tell you anyway, Presti from Collingwood. Guaranteed to get games, i think even he would have been impressed at how “Presti-like” his game was on the weekend…………7pts!!!!!
      - Swamp Dragon
        July 30, 2010 • 2:17 pm
        
        Presti has a breakeven of 44 this week according to the Freako so if you can hold off a week or two his price will have dropped and he should be affordable.

Plz Help

4 trades left; setting up for the finals and i want to cash in the “ipod” for Reiwoldt. To do this trade i need to down grade Gary Rohan and i’m thinking of going a unique with a potentially large upside… Xavier Clarke.

Also allows for dpp swaps with the backline. Is this trade completely f*$king insane? have i lost my mind and forgotten that he’s inconsistent, overated and injury prone muppet?

Need some encouragement to go wild and hit that trade button. Pods and Rohan out – X Clarke and Reiwoldt in.

Cheers brothers

The double of JPOD and Bartel is a bit of a blow (same with Maguire but don’t tell anyone).
Critical week. Can jump as high as 2nd or as low as 8th (currently 4th).
With 5 trades + 220K I am thinking:

Gumby —> Volt
Lucas —> Rookie (still doing the study, advice welcome).

The next week with the 180K I then have left.
Maguire –> Either Lake, Kelly or Scotland.

Thoughts?
- Resh
  July 30, 2010 • 12:05 pm
  
  Im going to get scotland this week and then volt next… purely due to favourable BE’s…
  
  I’m downgrading pods this week to do so. Liam Jones a debutant FWD i found…
- Blue boys
  July 30, 2010 • 12:05 pm
  
  Have you considered getting scotland for maguire this week and gumby to voldt next week???
  Gumby’s BE is 19, voldt is 94 and scotland is 54.
  May work out better cash wise for you…………..although it will depends if you are starting gumby against the saints may not be good move if you need to win this week.

Curent team with 6 trades and 106500 in bank

hodge goddard enright fisher hunt broughton strijk (webberley lovett muarry)

monty chappy STEVENSON boyd ball mitchell (banner bartel)

sandi hille (warnock mcevoy)

goodes didak okeefe rocky hitchcock franklin brown (gumby pods)

Thats how my team will run out everyone is playing eccept pods and bartel with lovvet muarry an emergency and stevenson and webberly on extended benches.
My emergencies will be warnock gumby and banner
Capt is goddard atm with hodge vc

Crucicial game in one league im sixth and playing fifth with a win could go to fourth with a loss could finish eighth

Really thinking going pods to voldt (then bring him on for the cock)
but will then have to hold off on hunt to scotland trade cos i will have to double trade to get him in (not worried that itll cost more money waiting a week as both have similar be.

Is it worth trading in mcneil for stevenson or banner (both seemed to have peaked in price) as it will mean i can used dpp with goodes didak and okeefe to cover 0. My combined mid fwd bench would be gumby hitchcock and which ever one i dont trade.

Appriciate all feedback
Good luck to everyone needing a win this weekend
Peace

  Lovett-Murray to Scotland and Pods to Voldt.
  L-M seems to be out of favour with Knights, big $$$ on your bench when not injured.
  
  Then look to upgrade Stevenson to gun mid or upgrade one more back during finals, you have 2 playing on each bench then so u can choose which ones to downgrade.
  - Clarky23
    July 30, 2010 • 3:49 pm
    
    i like it a lot. for the opast few weeks have had a million sittin on the bench in lovett muarry hille and brown
    luckily i havent been forced to trade
    
    what about lovett muarry to lake and then pick up roo next week
    - Blue boys
      July 30, 2010 • 4:06 pm
      
      Yeah mate, if u have the cash for Lake he is probably a better option. Lake’s BE is 103, Voldt is 94 so doesn’t really matter which one u get this week. Depends who would be starting instead i guess!!!

July 30, 2010 • 2:08 pm

im taking a risk here using my 2nd last trade ot upgrade pods, i have enough for either didak or voldt i need someone to score well doesnt have to be consistent (as going for ranking) Dont care abut the cahs tooo much as i only have 1 trade left and i have all the elites so if one goes down i will probably be trading in someone cheaper

Need to free up some cash for finals and Roo trade.. so to get the most Ill have to trade in Trengove to some $77k ruck, but then that leaves me with just Warnock in the bench..

Is he reliable enough for the finals? Got Sandi and Hille (finally!) as my main rucks…

I guess I could play it save and trade in Playfair or Gysberts to a $77k-er but wont rake in as much $$…
Only got a measly $15k atm, and since Ill have to double trade to get Rooey in anywayz.

5 trades left, 3 for finals after Roo trade..
