It’s here again …. and so is final thoughts Friday. What’s on your mind going into tonight’s game?
Who’s gone for Dane or Pendles as Captain? Great opportunity to VC one of them up then revert back to GAJ tomorrow night. What other combinations are you looking at?

Pendals VC, and if he doesn’t play just go with Watson (hopefully he is not a late withdrawal)
Last question, one trade to fix up my defense,
Thumbs up Vlaustin
Thumbs down Brandon Ellis
Is Goddard really going to be rested?
VC on Pendles, absolutely. Should tear it up, and in the event that he doesn’t then I’ll be tossing up between Gaz vs Freo, or A Walker vs Melbourne.
Incidentally, Walker is the latest inclusion in my team. Have gone Gibbs -> Walker and Dwyer -> Kerridge. Still leaves me with a donut in the backline, but my opponent in my main league this week is probably gonna slaughter me anyway, so thinking long term.
Next week will be Pittard/K Stevens -> Docherty (if named) and Stevenson to a premo Defender. Will leave me with one upgrade left to do at either end of the field, three mid upgrades to come, and a ruck if anyone presents as a better option than Luey.
Now chapman out…whysc gods whyyyyyyyy?!?!?!?!
Copping the backline donuts this week and hoping for the best. Vlas will come in next week if he plays well.
I’m going to carry 2 doughnuts this round (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-4P1WPE-Qg ). I could trade and plug holes; but I’d be forced to trade players I don’t want to.
So, seeing as mostly everyone else is in the same boat (Pittard, Goodes, Hutchins, Heppell and Gibbs), I’m not going to try to plug holes in defence – I’m upgrading elsewhere.
Gawn comes in for Dwyer, and Hutchins goes out for Robinson.
I feel that Gawn will do well enough to make me some cash; and I believe Robinson will be an astute pick with Melbourne, St Kilda, Port Adelaide, Brisbane and GWS in the next five rounds.
Chapman out, Murdoch in so says footy star
Can i get some late thoughts here-
Am going Fyfe to JPK,
However 2nd trade to avoid a donut
T/U Gibbs to Dixon
T/D Give up on Hutchins and trade to Vlastuin
Thoughts appreciated, cheers guys and good luck this w/end in a chaotic round of withdrawals
upgrading gibbs, but to who? can afford anyone, birchall and shaw favorites atm, unless convinced otherwise ?
My thoughts……all has turned to sh1t.
am going to have a donut down back regardless of trades and moving around. so i was thinking
gibbs -> hartlett
blvicas -> gawn
t/u: do them
t/d: wasted trades
Decided to keep goodes, heppell and gibbs.
Decided to go pittard to vlads and blicavs to gawn.
Will cop the donut.
Good idea?
Not sure who to upgrade Pittard to, have enough to go straight to Birchall but very tempted by Shaw.
-Shaw’s price has probably hit it’s lowest while Birchall’s has peaked.
-But Birchall is much more reliable
-Birchall will be top 3 defenders this year for sure
-Shaw has averaged 100 for last 2 seasons.
-Shaw is cheaper
Thumbs up for Birchall
Thumbs Down for Shaw
Andy Ottens or Trent Mackenzie? eeeeeop. 🙂
Ottens T/U
Mackenzie T/D.
Cheers.
Think I’ve narrowed it down to two options:
Thumbs UP:
Gibbs & Hutchins > Shaw & Ellis
Thumbs DOWN:
Goodes & Pittard > Shaw & Saunders (can’t afford Vlastuin)
Hey guys, can I get a thumbs poll.
I’m trading out Gibbs to cover donuts. I have every intention of getting him back in 3-4 weeks after he has dropped some cash. Trade in options are between Heath shaw and Heath Scotland.
Shaw was my first choice but Scotland has bette fixtures for the next 5 considerably. Scotland seems like the best choice but getting Gibbs back would be 2 blues in the backline.
Thoughts?
Thumbs up: Heath Shaw
Thumbs down: Heath Scotland.
Has anyone considered Scott Thompson($498,000 BE 31 avg 100) from NTH as another possibly option?
averaged 87 last year and looks in better form this year.
Is an absolute gun at marks from opposition kicks which scores well in SC. Nth Melb will probably have a fair few close games so that should give him opportunity to bump up his scores.
Big POD only 1.5% of teams.
I personally feel he will probably maintain his avg of 100 or maybe +5-10 pts max. So in terms of value he is priced about what you would expect but the fact that so few people have him makes him very tempting for me.
What do we think?
Out
Colquhoun & Dwyer
In
Harlett & Vlastuin
No doughnuts (yet)
Hey guys
Tossing up between the following options and want to know what you guys think
T/U
Blicavs->Gawn
Goodes->Hartlett
OR
T/D
Blcavs->Gawn
Pittard->Shaw
Need to do 2 trades to avoid a doughnut and thinking a little left field. Have 4 backs out so these are my current options.
TU Goodes – Shaw
Gibbs – B Ellis (with a view to getting Gibbs back in 5/6 weeks)
or
TD Wines – Shaw (Goodes to mids)
Gibbs – Scotland
Crazy or good idea? Saw the Ellis idea on here btw, can`t claim it as my own! Scotland has sweet upcoming fixtures and Ellis has a 134 in his system and Conca out. Suggestions welcome…
Out Rioli (sad to say) in Walker
Out Gibbs in Dixon
One donut and hopefully stays that way!!!
defence is in shambles this week!
no heppell, gibbs, goodes and pittard
ive decided to not make any changes to the backline. its a marathon and not a sprint.
reasoning: downgrade options seem to be one of vlastuin, sierakowski and corr. none of which are on the bubble so no money is to be made and vlastuin scored a low 39 with the other two we havent even seen.
obviously having the extra back line donut is not ideal but by not trading pittard this week it gives us the chance to see how vlastuin and co go this week and also pittard COULD be back next week along with heppell.
my only trade this week has been blicavs – > gawn.
as the weeks go on id prefer to use my trades with one downgrade and one upgrade to premium a week
Defensive upgrade:
Thumbs up- Shaw (frustrating but cheap)
Thumbs down- Scotland (consistent scorer and great run coming up)
Hey guys how do these trades sound:
Pittard – Saunders
Dwyer – Robinson (Carlton have a good draw coming up soon)
T/U Good trades
T/D Bad trades
Just the one trade this week. Bliclavs for gawn.
Copping two 0s this week but I don’t want to trade any of my premiums or cash cows just yet.
Anyone considering Pearce Hanley? Haven’t even seen his name mentioned as an option. Have I missed something?
Heath Shaw – T/U
Charlie Dixon – T/D
Hi. Still got k Mitchell. Do you think he get the vest?
I see a lot of people are keen on the Blicavs – Gawn trade.
My thinking is that the trades used aren’t worth the cash given that most teams would have 2x quality ruckmen.
1 trade to get Gawn in.
2nd trade to get Gawn out for rookie ruckman
3rd trade to use the $$ generated (unless u’ve got a ruck/fwd u can swing into the ruck).
With rookies elsewhere it’s a trade in, make cash, upgrade to premium.
Who to play. Thanks guys.
T/U Neade
T/D Dwyer
should i trade colquhoun just to save a donut? or just suffer for this week?
TU: TRADE
TD: DONUT
Definitely going to trade Pittard to Ellis and umming and ahhing about covering the doughnut with a Gibbs trade (to Waters or possibly a kitty building downgrade to Terlich) or the much discussed Blicavs to Gawn trade. Not stressed at the moment, trade time will be tomorrow afternoon before the North and Port game.
With Rowe out it means i can use the emergency loophole with Macaffer and Neade.
VC heading to GAJ with the C going to Walker.
have gibbs heppel goodes and pittard all down back and 220,000 in the bank
(tu) trade mark blicavs to max gawn and have enough money to bring in hamish hartlett for pittard
(td)save both trades and cop the 2 zeros
i am really liking the look of bringing in gawn though but any advice would be great 🙂
feel like i’ve been wasting trades, but went Gibbs and Goodes to Shaw and Birchall. That still leaves me with a zero in my backline though.
Before trades I had HEP, GIBBS, PITTARD, GOODES AND PLOWMAN
And can’t forget FYFE in the mids who will be covered by Viney!!
Any other trade sugestions??
Who’s more important to get in for that waste of space Jarryd Roughead this week:
T/U: Stevie J
T/D: Andrew Walker
possibly wasting a trade but going ..Heppell > Shaw..Goodes + $$$ > Dixon
GO SUNS!!!
Does anyone know much about Aiden Corr?
How is his job security?
T/U – Vlastuin
T/D – Corr
Thanks 🙂
decided on going fyfe-swan and gibbs-shaw. will cop a donut in defence but thats the cost of trying to keep pittard,goodes and stevenson. hepps will be my donut, cheers hirdy….
TU if you can field 22 this week, TD if you can’t
Thumbs up: Hamish Hartlett
Thumbs down: Heath Shaw
Thanks all!
thumbs up: save a trade and keep blicavs
thumbs down: trade blicavs for majak with 80k left
Just reversed my trade. Kept Bliclavs instead of trading for gawn. Trades are gold and might need them later. Copping two donughts but should win my league.
Trade Dangerfield to Swan/Watson?
Thumbs Up: Do it
Thumbs Down: Don’t sideways trade
Trades reversed: not convinced on Vlastuin, and with Rowe not named am now going : Rowe -> Gawn …. And … Goodes -> Hurn. Leaves me with no cash, but Defence now looks solid, especially when Gibbs comes back in will only need to start one rookie.
Hartlett and Yarran in
Gibbs and Fyfe out
Few sideways and down trades otherwise I was getting zeros in multiple positions. After an hour of tweaking I have a full line up.
I know it’s a knee jerk reaction to a bad week of outs, injuries and suspensions but I actually think it balances the team and with the xtra $$$ in the bank it can work in my favour in a few weeks.
with rowe now dropped, who to trade for gawn? the dpp is handy but sou would the extra 40k!
TU: Blicavs
TU: Rowe
cheers
T/U: Shaw and $128,200 in the bank.
T/D: Birchall and $46,900 in the bank.
Dangerfield for who?
Thumbs Up: Watson
Thumbs Down: Swan
Am going to laugh at all these people trading out dangerfield when he pulls out a 170 this week 🙂
So how many trades has everyone used up?
Thumbs up – 6+
Thumbs down – less than 6
Got Gibbs, Goodes and Pittard as non-scoring defenders. Happy to bench Goodes and Gibbs. I have 400k in the bank. Is it best to upgrade Pittard to someone like Birchall, or cop the donut and keep some valuable growth for the long term?
T/U – Karnezes for Gawn (Swing Rowe into forwards)
T/D – Blicavs for Gawn
Nightmare week.
Had Goodes, Pittard, Gibbs, Heppel, Fyfe, Tex, Rowe, Crouch, Chapman.
God, what a disaster.
Gibbs & Pittard –> Vlaustin & Hartlett. and one donut. Next week have 236k for some upgrades.
Hmmm. Starting to feel unShaw about choosing Dixon now..
