Roy’s Real Estate: Semi Finals

Posted by Roy on 12/8/10 • Categorised as Trade Talk

Well it could be crunch time in your league, you might be striving for your national ranking PB, hell, you might even be trying to ahead of your girlfriend, yes thats “of”, not “off”. For whatever reason, trades are on the minds of many DTers this week, so this is the place to discuss them. Unfortunately, its only a short RRE this week as I’m pressed for time and therefore will require you guys to discuss the options for trades this week. The initial carnage from team selection is not half as bad as I thought, however the concern of late withdrawals have intensified. All the big named “questionable resting” Cats have been named, along with the “50-50″ crook Hargrave and the biggest of all is big Johnno Brown named at CHF despite his swollen knee and cancellation of his 200th game press conference (read into that as you will… seeya Browny). For anybody lucky enough to have trades left, it was refreshing to see a group of rookies named that may be part of your double trade plans (ah how i long for a double trade haha). A couple of relevant DT names that will be considered for the chopping block this week after selections will be Davis, Sandi, Ball, Cooney, Priddis and popular rookie Webberly. I mentioned a few great players there but desperate times can call for desperate measures.

So, cut and paste the following in the comments to discuss your potential trades. There will also be a seperate section to cut and paste at the bottom in order to review other people trade considerations. Hopefully it creates some good banter, but more importantly, ideas to get you over the line in the Semi.

Well, hopefully this helps you get through the day at work a little easier, especially with a trade or two on your mind for later tonight. Goodluck and RRE will be back to its normal format next week. destROY.

  Your name: bowesy
  Rating of trade idea out of 10: 8/10
  Suggested downgrade trade ”out” (if options were given): howlett could be a good emergency if you dont have anybody else
  Suggested downgrade trade ”in”: instead of white, id suggest: koby stevens from west coast, looks good and after this week his price raises.. only like 89k.
  Suggested upgrade trade ”out” (if options were given): liking getting rid of carrazzo,
  Suggested upgrade trade “in”: liking bringing in chapman and gilbert because they should have already been in ur side.
  Comment: id go ahead with the howlett – stevens trade if you got emergency on your mid bench, then upgrade carrazzo if in mids to chappy or if backs prob lake or gilbert.. hopefully you got enough cash left over to use your last trade to bring in chapman or didak.

Consideration for upgrade “in”: Goddard Fisher
Your teams story eg. national ranking, match status or general explanation etc: im 33k, lowest score is 1935 in 9 weeks, and my gun im missing is goddard, and was thinkin going gilbee to goddard, or merrett to fisher. im keeping pavlich. im versing brett burton who has 4 outs, and dale thomas and a week off in the other league.

Consideration for upgrade trade “out”: Waters, (Or Carazzo, Malceski) *Next week
Consideration for upgrade “in”: Lake
Your teams story eg. national ranking, match status or general explanation etc: Won’t be doing any trading this week since I’m not playing anyone but might pick up Lake next week for Waters. Wondering who to play out of Roughead and Trengove with Sandi out? Might go Roughy because Trengove got 15 last time he played WCE.
Ranked 1230. Highest score: 2412, Lowest Score: 1927.
Did 2 really good trades last week, downgraded Mitch Duncan (Who I held on to for ages) to Liam Jones and upgraded Pods to Riewoldt. Now if JB is out Liam Jones can come in for him.

Money in the bank: $57,300
Number of 0′s without trading: 0
Considerations for downgrade “out”: Mitch Banner
Consideration for downgrade “in”: Not really sure, at this stage although probably not recommended, a $77k rookie to save cash.
Consideration for upgrade trade “out”: Leon Davis or Andrew Carrazzo
Consideration for upgrade “in”: Alan Didak/Dale Thomas/Paul Chapman or Paul Duffield/Brian Lake.
Your teams story eg. national ranking, match status or general explanation etc:
Just snuck into the top 3000 after a strong score on the weekend.
Already into the prelim so league match not relevant.
VERY HAPPY WITH MY UNIQUE PICK OF ADAM SCHNEIDER AT THE START OF THE YEAR.

Have also won a weekly high score prize of $1000 so very happy with my dreamteam performance this year.

I am a bit iffy on Bartel. I am entertaining the idea of trading Bartel for Monty. I would like to dump Gibbs as well for somebody like RiskyTelly who is in good form.

Am I going mad or is there some reasonable logic in trading gun midfielders who are out of form and perhaps out of their normal position?

Consideration for upgrade “in”: Lake, Chapman
Your teams story eg. national ranking, match status or general explanation etc: Sitting about 3,000. Week off in both leagues but will downgrade Kennelly this week to free up an extra $200k (have Strijk as bench cover) and allow the 2 upgrades for the prelim, leaves one trade left for GF (hopefully?)

    haha I needed some coin last week so I traded Hams out, Crameri in….and then to my surprise he is making his debut this week! With Weberley out he will now become my auto-emerg – good on ya Crameri!

    Thanks, picked up Crameri. Wanted to maximise cash but even better to have someone playing.

Bit off topic to the format we’re doing but I have simply narrowed it down to..
Buddy/Voldt/Didak or Lake?
Which of the 4 would be the best for the rest of the season?

Comment: Only 2 trades left and would like to keep another in case of another player going down. Have Hardingham on the bench but dont think he is in for a good score against collingwood.

Your teams story eg. national ranking, match status or general explanation etc: Finished on top of league ladder with an average of 2098, blew the first final game when Waters was a late with draw, and had 2 defenders named as emergencies, Hunt scored 70 odd and then I had Weberly with his shit score, so DT added the lowest emergency score to mt total…in the end it screwed me over and I would have won if Hunts score had counted…spewin.

Who would you start out of Scully and James McDonald? Sorry off topic. Thanks

  Considering the games at the G and the heavens are capable of tearing open i would go McDonald just for sheer tackle numbers!

With goodwin out this week, what do you reckon about a straight swap to enright which will free up 100k cash, which i could either use to

A. Upgrade pods to Rvolt (Forwards)

B. Upgrade Moles to Pavlich (Mids)
- Teckst
  August 13, 2010 • 2:45 pm
  
  Go Option A.
  
  Thats what I would be doing if I didn’t have the 2 Mids out this week..
