Gibbs of Burden

[the danger porps]

Have had him since day 1, scoring 8-'s.. 10 trades left and 70,000 in bank. Should i trade him to a Priddis, improve by 20-30 points per round.. Or save the trade, only going for league as had 2 terrible rounds..

Is your midfield complete appart from that?
If it isnt I would get priddis in the other spot so it is complete. Wait untill your team is completed to swap gibbs. Its a bit of a luxury trade really. Although he has been a let down he is still playing and trades become more important as the weeks go by

[the danger porps]

i have pendles, GAJ, mitchell, thomo, gibbs. sheil.. last spot is reserved for swanny..

[quinny88]

How much in the bank?
And how many other spots to fill in your team?

can you do a app trade get rid of a backman and then put gibbs in there and then maybe put priddis there if you want

You can't put Gibbs Back he's a mid-only. So glad I didn't buy into Rattens hype pre-season. He SHOULD dominate with no Murphy and Judd getting the hard tag. Just not his year. Plus he's STILL getting defensive/lockdown roles when the midfield really needs him. So it's the coaches fault as well. But with only 10 trades you'd have to have an almost complete team to afford that trade. If u can afford it Gibbs > Priddis makes sense.

i do blame ratten for all of it... i still trelor, giles, sheil and clarke to upgrade. i have 70,000 in the bank

Blame Ratten for some because he keeps changing Gibbs role every week...

Clarke you can get away with a sideways to a Suckling/Fisher/Carrazzo who should all come down to around the 400k mark. So if you pick one of those guys up for your backline you can save yourself a downgrade trade. Same with Giles. McEvoy/Mumford/Leuenberger will be a decent sideways (maybe even pocket some cash) trade for a premium. Treloar and Sheil will require a downgrade and an upgrade resulting in 4 trades to get premiums in for those 2.

6 trades to move on those 4 guys leaves you with 4 safety trades for finals and injuries. You are cutting it really close if you trade Gibbs out, but cannot see anyone of Priddis standard dropping to such a price this year again. If you feel 3 trades is enough to get you through the rest of the season (IMO it isnt), then upgrade to Priddis.

Note Priddis will be locked out tomorrow at 5:40
