Clarke is my issue this week, think I’ll grab Carrazzo a week early

Means I’ll need to bring Gibson into my mids for some cash. Who to trade for Gibson?

TU – Horsely BE 80 Avg 80 should increase by $34k over the next 3 rounds
TD – Greene BE 31 Avg 82 should increase by $28k over the next 3 rounds

Both got tough games over the next three but I reckon the Horse has been slightly more consistent with only the one poor game against the Pies.

Wait so Greene has a higher average, lower BE but will rise less over 3 rounds…

Surprised by those thumbs. Take out the game where Carrots got injured and he averages 15 more than Waters (only 2 behind Lids and 9+ ahead of all other defenders) and is 60k less.

Need to resist the urge and not trade, I didn’t trade last week either, the only spot left to upgrade is a ruck, but I’m low on trades so I should probably wait a couple of weeks atleast incase of an LTI occurring.

My rucks are Nic Nac, Giles, Redden & the Big O. Low on trades so trying to resist the urge to upgrade Giles, worry that he’s done with Brogan playing. Cant afford Maric so looking at either:
Thumbs up: Cox
Thumbs down: Goldstein
Or do I hold off and give Giles another chance, as he’s been quite serviceable until the weekends low of 54.

i think he’ll be fine to keep, considering the amount of coaches who have him i dont think holding onto him is going to hurt too much because any low score he might score will be matched. Saying that, id say he has maxed out and if you can afford a trade then go for it! My vote is for cox over goldstein should you trade.

Pendlebury is five points off being the second highest averaging player in the league. You wish that you had traded him because he’s missing three games? Really?

You can’t tell me I’m the only one thinking about this, that being said, I did make that comment after hearing the news and was a bit annoyed, was a harsh comment on my behalf, you guys are right, especially after i kept GAJ when he was injured
But who would you rather Swanny or Pendles?
Pendles for me, if that wasn’t the case I would have traded him.

A.Kennedy/or someone else depending on selection for S.Gibson

Completing my mids with JMc >> Thompson.

Then in 1-2 weeks bring in Carrots. I’ll have 2 trades left :cry: and consider my team to be complete (dropping my standards to include Mr Drummond and Dempsey) with the exception of Giles who’ll see me out until finals.

Then I just wait for the LTIs to roll in…

Looking for the thread where you made your quarter final prediction Yioryo….Not too far off at all by memory……You certainly got the Poms will exit in Penalties right…..ALthough they should’ve lost 3-0 during normal time….

Same Same Yio. Except I got Carrots this week and will get Pendles in 3-4. I thought about Thompson but Pendles is better than him (when he is actually playing) What will your team look like after you have made Carrot trade?

M: Pendles, GAJ, Boyd, Joelwood, Thompson, Bradbert, Zorro, Gibson

Gazza finally makes his way back in leaving me with 4 trades 150k and fingers crossed A.Hall gets some games by the time Goodsey bottoms out to complete my forward line.

Posted this in the wrong thread and left out some so…

Hey guys really need to know a couple of your opinions
Out of these bargain premium defenders who would you get regardless of price only need 2

Suckling 403k – BE 32
Carrazo 465k – BE 142
Newman 392k – BE 117
Fisher 434k – BE 124
Enright 454 – BE 98

Dont necessarily need to get them this week but just wondering who would you grab?? Thanks

I have 9 trades left and after much thought and pottering i’ve come to the following:

Giles >> Mumford (risky move but i just can’t resist Mummy at that price)
Shiel >> Sidebottom (moving Sidebottom fwd through my fwd/mid dpp link)

Means i’ll be one fwd and one defender short of what i’m striving for. I’m working on the paper work for Carrazzo and Goodes to come into side in the next few weeks to fill those holes.

If you can afford to wait a week and get Carazzo, that may be your best option.
If not, Enright out of the two.

No trades this week but in about 2 weeks I’m hoping to go:

Bugg & Mohr —> Carrazo & rookie (maybe Spurr if he ever gets another game)
Then Porplezia –> Goodes.

Would make team: (3 trades remaining after that)

Backs: Goddard, Scotland, Waters, M.Clarke, H.Shaw, Carrazo, Ellis
(S.Shaw & Rookie)
Mids: Deledio, GAJ, Pendles, Selwood, Hayes, Priddis
(Crozier & Gibson)
Rucks: Cox, Maric
(J.Redden & A.Phillips)
Fowards: Buddy, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, N.Riewoldt, Pavlich, Goodes, Zorko
(Saad & Hall)

He’s in my normal team – the one above is my SCTTL team.
I might swap Hayes to NDS with trade 3 and leave 2 for the prelim and GF.
