Seeing as all you’re probably looking at doing right now is upgrading and you’re all aware of how well Swan, Joel, Dids and Goodes are travelling, here are some blokes that may not be on the radar:
A Swallow ($522,200 $+39,700 ($-2,400), 106.35) – Last 2 weeks were the bomb. Great unique player to have come finals time. See today’s poll.
A Cooney ($502,400 $+24,100 ($+18,300), 106.53) – Last 3 round average: 118.67. Cheap.
J Kelly ($531,700 $+10,900 ($+57,900), 100.47) – Last 3 round average: 117.33. Brought him to your attention a couple of weeks ago. He hasn’t stopped producing since then. D/M DPP so will offset Gilbee, Goddard, Hodge or Greenwood (who incidentally scored 139[!!] last week – yes he was on my bench) nicely.
S Burgoyne ($437,000 $+23,500 ($+50,900), 91.50) – Last 3 round average: 104.67. Another cheap option if you’re running out of dough.
M Murphy ($551,400 $+14,200 ($-48,100), 111.88) – Last 3 round average: 123.33. Why isn’t this gun in my team???
B Sewell ($454,700 $+41,800 ($-135,700), 92.08) – Last 3 round average: 118.67. This guy is Bobcat’s tip of the week. Apparently the threat of getting dropped is good for him.
K Cornes ($489,700 $+35,800 ($+9,000), 101.71) – Last 3 round average: 122.67. He won’t be making my team but you might like him.

PA’s Red Spot Special – Mids
L.Power ($407,100 $+40,400 ($-108,100), 87.50) B/E 14.
Avg 108 from his last 3 games, Luke has been on fire in his past two games, including scoring 127 against the pussies on their home turf. The Paddlepop Lions have a pretty easy run home with 3 home matches and only playing one side in the top 8 (SYD at home).
Folks
Apologies for posting this on an irrelevant topic however my hand has been forced after my request for a specific thread for this subject fell on deaf ears. Any suggestions (good/bad) gratefully accepted, I have 3 trades left and $400000 in the kitty and am 4th in my mates and work league but will probably not make the 8 in the TS50. Team is:
Hodge, Enright, Malceski, Goodwin, Hurn, Hargrave, Fisher (R. Henderson, Webberley)
Ablett, Judd, Pendles, NDS, ROK, Connors (Cunnington, Shuey)
Goodes, Brown, Gray, Rioli, Harvey, Stevens, Higgins (Rockliff, Peterson)
My intention is to trade in Goddard, Joey and Roo for the finals (1 this week and 2 next) to set the team as the Saints’ draw is so easy from rd 19-22 and I don’t believe Rossy will make the same mistake this year as he did in rd 19 last by resting all guns in 1 week. I think Joey will not play this week leaving only Lenny without a break out of the big 5 since rd 16.
Whilst Connors is the obvious choice to make way in the mids, the fwd/def decision is far more open.
Let me know what you think guys.
This week, trade Gray out for the Roo, Gray is bound to lose more in value after dropping $31k last round.
Love the blue font mate – is that a sign you have been “inducted” into Motts’ world?
Does any one think ROK for Roo is a worthwhile trade?
No, I’d hold onto ROK. He may have had a crap game on the weekend but he’s still good for 100’s now and then. Pods is already whining in the press about the rigours of a long season and the effect on his geriatric legs. Time to get off him I reckon.
I agree… definitely Gray to Roo this week. Next week I’d go Connors to Joey (or Swan or whoever else you like). I’d be tempted though to keep 2 trades in the bank… I’ve been burnt before having no trades left and a GF donut
The way I see it, Hurn and Gray are you weak ones, while ROK is severely out of form. I think most will trade ROK for voldt this week (ROK and Harvey to swap positions). Voldt has probably bottomed out, so a good time to bring him in. Personally, I would think Goddard will slow down until they start playing finals. He’ll need to find his spot again since Voldt is back.
Sorry Deano, hope you’re not feeling too unloved. I don’t remember seeing your original post. Mottsy’s sage advice is:
Goddard should come in this week. He was “rested” a couple of weeks ago in R15 so you’d think he won’t get another one. Obvious choice is Goodwin but if he’s going to play again this year I’d consider Hurn.
I’m with Dobbo on the Gray to Roo trade.
Joey’s price will come down a truckload over the next 2 weeks after his 49 on the weekend.
I would have thought that too Motts however his breakeven is only 126.
Looking at roo this week as players I want to trade out r going to drop, wat do people think of a trade for rok, pods or d/field I have in mids and can dpp across for him. 5 trades and 183k. Or wait another week?
Also looking at Martin to Joey when he drops.
Also do u think Sewell is an absolute steal based on recent form an hawks eyeing off finals now? Their efficiency seems to be bak which hopefully means some good scores.
