Righto! Big decision time. With Buddy and GAJ going postal on their opponents last week it meant the difference between winning and losing for a lot of SC teams. Don’t get this wrong!
Who gets the C?

I’m not arguing with GAJ. 155 last week and belted out a 143 last time he played my boys at Etihad. This week we’re playing at Metricon. Not sure what difference that will actually make but you would have to think he’d prefer playing at home. I actually think he will match his breakeven this week too. Saints are coming off quite a few 6 day breaks and now a travel (not whinging about the fixture) -just observing that the Little Master might be ready to pounce on our arrival.
Don’t let me down, Gaz.

15 in total this week, thanks to injuries to Scotland & Shaw, and then the omission of Horse & Smedts. Going to be a carnage this week, but thanfkully the next 2 rounds will be better.

I’ve managed to reduce my four doughnuts to three by trading horsley instead of smith and doing some switching of mid/fwd’s. I will be giving the “C” to the little master. Rule #2 of supercoach- never take the captaincy off GAJ!

Trading pendles, shaw and giles?? What happened to only trading out if necessary? Waste of 3 trades if you ask me…

I have 17 trades saved just for the occasion because I haven’t had any major injuries to date (barring Fyfe early). Giles has peaked in price and its time to milk him.

Guys, I know this isn’t the Trade Talk column, but any merit in the following this week?
Horsley BE 85 > Didak BE 9 (who would be moved into the forward line)
Only have $57k in the bank and don’t fancy any of the downgrade targets this week (Don’t like Williams’ JS and Sexton’s scoring potential), so can only really make the one trade. This one would cost $14k. If Didak could get back to anywhere near his 2009-10 form, he’d be a steal at $339k. He has collected over 20 disposals in 3 of his 4 games this year.
Thumbs UP: Snaffle him and save a donut across the byes, he’ll average ~95 for the season.
Thumbs DOWN: He’s past it, don’t bother, save the trade for another rainy day.
As always, cheers fellas.
Hot debate. What do you think?

Didak definitely undervalued but i dont rate his chances of returning to his high scoring ways. He wont lose you money, but I dont think he’ll score enough points to justify his spot in your team. I’d be more tempted to downgarde to Sexton, take his 50-60 every week and use the $$ to upgrade to a premium who you rely on for scoring points. Sexton’s JS looks fairly good at present and DPP a bonus.
Didak would frustrate me to no end. Sure he’ll have his good games but a few shockers as well. Will be interesting to see how the Pies injury woes will affect his form/role/scoring.
Happy to be proven wrong but a no from me.

You raise a good argument Stocky, I like it. However, I think I’ve resigned myself to getting Didak in though. Usually has a good day on the Queen’s Birthday game and just going with my gut that he’ll come good this year. Averaged 91, 105, 104 in 08, 09 and 10 respectively so he’s got great upside to him, and if he doesn’t come off he’ll at least have made a fair bit of coin to upgrade to a super-premium. I’ll be making a downgrade next week to get the cash for Priddis (Morris/Ellis > Shaw).

About the only thing you don’t have to worry about this week is captain selection, GAJ all the way. The problem is avoiding donuts.
I’m not sure what I’ll do come the deadline. Do I go one cow out for a prem? a cow and Pendles out for two prems? Two cows and Pendles out for three prems? Or do I add a low-price rookie instead, and go two cows for a prem and a cheapie?
Making it tougher is that any of the first three options (adding only prems) means I won’t be able to add Priddis next week with a single trade. Two cows for a prem+cheapie means I should be able to bring in Priddis with a single trade.
FWIW my opponent this week is looking at just as many donuts as I am, and if we go in with the squads we currently have I think I’ll win. But if he makes any trades to replace donuts, he’ll probably win. So I’m second-guessing him as well.

not necessarily. Depends on the balance of their team and who they trade in and when their bye is.
I traded Pendles and brought in Daisy because the only other midfielder missing with the bye next week in my team is JPK. Therefore, no doughnuts for my midfield because both missing players are on the bench with the rest of my midfield playing.
