He’s only supposed to be out for 2 weeks but hammies worry supercoaches more than probably any other injury because of their tendency to recur.
This issue is especially pertinent for SCTTL coaches.
So if you’ve got him, what are you doing with him?

I do not know what is going on a Collingwood … its a mystery of intrigue.
For the record I will probably stick with him as I hope they are foxing … Fingers crossed I see him out there on ANZAC day.
C’mon Heater do a StevieJ!!

Thanks for the Poll Motts!
For my main team I will not be trading him out. He will 99 per cent be in the top 10 defenders at years end IMO. I won’t cop a donut and don’t want to waste trades.
But a totally different story with my SCTT league team. I will be using an aggressive trading strategy. I have to trade out on of Smedts, Lake or Shaw to avoid Donut so will trade Shaw.
With the SCTT league, how about next year we have a promotion/relegation system. EG winner of SCTTL 2 get promoted to SCTTL 1. And the loser of SCTTL 2 relegated to SCTTL 3. Just an idea.

same boat as me as I’m sure with many others also. He is getting the chop in the SCTT league for me also.
Who will it be? Who knows!

I wonder if they’re just resting up for anzac day like Jester said earlier.
Pretty stiff playing satie then following up wednesday.
Would be interesting to see if they magically “get up” for it.
I cant see Bucks being that under handed though.
Very big outs for Pies, even bigger for SC. Almost selected Shaw in my starting line up to. Spewing he didnt do it mid game so his price crashed. Wouldve been a great upgrade.

Changed my mind (us girls like to do that, apparently).
I feel I had no other choice- with Lake and Shaw out, and the combination of Darley not getting a game (was just going to slot him on-field to avoid a donut, but nah of course that’d be too easy, wouldn’t it?!).
Option one:
* Put Shaw on the bench, then upgrade Lake to Fisher.
* Swap Fyfe back to forward line, put Pavlich into my mids for him.
* Then trade out Fyfe for Treloar to fund the Lake upgrade.
* Treloar has a good b/e so should make me some money.
So this enables me to bank $200k to get M.Murphy hopefully ASAP. Probably by swinging a Dusty trade via the mids if he doesn’t pull his socks up in the next week or two- bleeding $$ ATM.
Option two:
* Downgrade Shaw –> Marty Clarke
* Then Fyfe (mids) to Barlow/Hayes.
Means I lose my mid/fwd link AND meant downgrading 2 premiums for 1 rookie and either of 2 fallen premiums.
Money in the bank: $389, 600 (Barlow) or $377, 100 (Hayes).
-Thoughts anyone? T.I.A.

It is brain-killer GG, what to do. Both options have risks but desprate times call for desperate measures. If Fyfe plays I am inclined to hold him because I know it will hurt if I trade him and then see a 100+ score.
Have you considered Darley to another rookie you may not have? Ellis, Morris, Mohr?
Would you consider Shaw to a gun like Scotland?

The only rook I don’t have there is Mohr and I don’t have enough money in the bank to go Darley to Mohr. Therefore I don’t have enough cash to go Shaw to Scotland

Just had an epiphany of sorts RE: Heath Shaw (2 Weeks)
Is it –
Thumbs Up – 2 Weeks as in 2 games (Using the old lingo)?
Thumbs Down – 2 Weeks as in 2 calendar weeks. Meaning 3 Games?
*Had $430k stored away for this week in particular (League Rivalry – Bets and Friendships on the line) This is a huge headache as my opponent has no Shaw. So it may force my hand.

Welcome to the Supercoach merry-go-round.
Last week those who traded Lake wondered if they made the right call while those who held him were grinning. This week the tables are turned.
Last week some with Broughton wished they had Shaw. This week the tables are turned.

I will be trading him out. Shaw will miss 2 minimum and when he comes back he has a very high BE so will lose significant cash.
I plan to trade out shaw and hope he gets down to a nice juicy price come cow cashing time.

I’m yet to make an official trade this season but boy o boy, have I been giving the reversible trade option an absolute flogging in the last 24 hours.
I’m thinking of doing my 1st trades as I’m in a similar situation with Leo Messi with several out’s this week via injury or suspension.
H Shaw to Birchell
Cameron to Treloar… I just feel both these trades hold better JS throughout the season
Thumbs up……..good trades just do it
Thumbs down….take a few donuts this week & keep your 24 trades at bay
Cheers SCT coaches

Cheers Dazz, on the Friday night I looked at both our teams & I thought….the ONLY way I’ll beat him is due to the captain choice. Your team is very balanced & with the right captain choice you’ll smash out some huge scores this season in DT.
Good luck for the rest of the season Dazz.

Shaw – Birchall good trade.
But with Treloar if you can wait a week with that trade that would be good as he isn’t on the bubble and if you dont really need him then there is no loss. It gives you an extra week to see how he goes and see if he is named next week. You never know he could get injured or spud it up and not get recalled by Sheeds.

I’m keeping Shaw. Traded Fyfe, swapped Smedts to forward line, bought Carrazzo.
Am risking a fat 0 if Brandon Ellis doesn’t play, plus i’m playing my older brother whose team has been getting about 70 – 80 points less than me. I’m missing Goodes, Lake and Shaw (he’s only missing Lake) as well as some rooks that I have coverage for.
I’ve already made 3 trades and i’m sticking fat with the decision of riding this out, at the possible and crushing expense of losing to my older brother. Have to focus on the whole season and keep that trade (rather than trading Shaw out). THINK BIG!!

Thinking of dumping Fyfe and D Martin this week
With 300k in the bank I can:
Thumbs up: bring in 2 of Judd / Mitchell / Del Santo / Murphy immediately etc
Thumbs down: bring in Hayes and McDonald with good value increases to come and be sitting on $700k to upgrade Lake, Hargreave, Bugg, M Clarke in coming weeks
Other points: strategy is load on round 13 bye players (league win is my goal so this means I should be strong on 11 and 12) so Hayes sits with that. I am also a little exposed with Robbie Gray so with Gray, Martin and Fyfe to lose money and be in a right pickle if I sit still?
Comments: any advice please! Much appreciated

What about Fyfe > Murphy or J.Selwood and Martin > Hawkins !?
Murphy guaranteed gun, great draw for next 7 games, R13 Bye
Selwood guaranteed gun, great draw for next 7 games, 40k cheaper
Hawkins set to increase $$, great Avg for a forward comparatively and should be a keeper.
Wait til McDonald plays his 2nd game this weekend, then consider.
I’m not sold on Hayes
This’ll leave you roughly the same $300k in the bank which you can use to upgrade to Pendlebury in 1-2 weeks when he bottoms out to around $615k.
I’m in exactly the same spot of bother and its what i’ve done anyway!

Don’t focus on the position. Focus on the Points Investment.
If you can get 2 blokes averaging 130 for one who averages 110 and is injured and another averaging 75, its a no brainer. No point getting in Hayes and McDonald now if you are only going to off load them at a later date. Skip those middle 2 trades and just go straight to the big fish.

Just a rumor Juddy, I just find it a bit weird that 2 stars from the 1 team both do hamstrings during the same training session.
Collingwood have 2 games in the space of 4 days so you would think training loads would have been reduced, sounds a bit dodgy to me.
