  1. Anyone else think Nic Nat can dominate ben hudson in the ruck? Thinking of putting the big C next to his name.

  2. 4 Trades Left and $150k in the kitty.

    Backline is

    Delidio, Scotland, Goddard, Carrazzo, Lake, Yarran, Dempsey (Broughton, S.Shaw)

    Sitting very comfortably in the top 4 in all leagues but have an itchy trigger finger and think my backline is a weakness.

    TU: Broughton to Birchall, moving Dempsey to the bench.
    TD: No trade. HOLD!

  3. Thoughts on trading Sam Gibson to Mark Baguley ???

    I have decent cover in backs (B Ellis, M Clarke, S Shaw)
    and have a M/F rotation in the mids (Treloar, A Kennedy, + other premos)
    so GIbson is the only real candidate in my team

    The only reason to do it would be some extra cash heading into finals and to get a MPP link with Lids and Goddard.
    Gibson still has some more cash to make, but Bag’s is going to bolt and their are few options coming down the pipe.

    7 trades left, $60k cash before trading this week, sitting second in main money league

    Thumbs Up – Do it, get cashed up

    Thumbs Down – Keep the better job security

  4. With two trades left and giles representing the last weakness on the field, reckon it’s worth…
    T/U – straight trade to bellchambers and hope he’ll hold his spot (at the very least)
    T/D – use both trades and upgrade to Jacobs/Roughead

    …or just hold on to the trades and hope for the best?

    Much appreciated!

    [had also chucked this in the rucks post so apologies for the duplication]

  5. I’d like to make an official complaint about Duck.
    Why does me being Victorian exclude me from the potential riches on offer? If anything me being Victorian makes me better than anyone who isn’t. Jealousy will make spiteful bastards out of you all and you can stick your free 100 where the sun don’t shine. This is segregation and racism at its worst and I will not sit idly by and cop this heinous wrong against my beloved home of AFL!!!! 😉

  7. This is my team after I did my Stanton and Sexton, to Beams and Baugeley:

    DELEDIO GODDARD SHAW JOHNSON WATERS CARRAZZO LAKE Ellis Bootsma
    PENDLEBURRY THOMPSON MITCHELL PRIDDIS BEAMS ABLETT Gibson Baugely
    COX GILES Redden Stephenson
    BUDDY SIDEBOTTOM DANGERFIELD GOODES MARTIN CHAPMAN JOHNSON Murdoch Smedts

    With two trades left, but am thinking of reversing them and getting swan instead of beams. But then I wont have a mid/fwd link, what’s everyone’s thoughts?

    Tup beams
    Tdown swan

  8. Last Piece of the puzzle
    Horse – pendles
    But I don’t have enough for straight swap. Who to kick? Smedts or gibson for baugely

  9. Thumbs up – Is Greene – Couch, Giles – Jacobs still a good trade?
    Thumbs down – Wait a week

    Will leave me with 4 trades left. I’m on top of my ladder. I don’t like the idea of trading in someone not getting a game that week

    Giles will probably drop, but only $10k
    Greene will hold steady at $480k, but is sitting on my bench
    Jacobs will probably hold steady at $550k

  11. How abt T.Dickson and D.smith to Murphy and maybe Couch? Murphy’s price is attractive for M6. Is it worth wasting 2 trades to get Murphy?
    5 trades left, 1st in 1 league, 5th in the other.

    TU: Go for it.
    TD: Hold. Maybe get NDS later.

  12. For the record, “The Final Countdown” is NOT one of Mottsy’s favourite songs by Europe.

    It’s the ONLY song by Europe.

  14. i have 3 trades and 182k in the bank.
    I want to upgrade Giles, I can afford to get Nic Nat, but im kind of leaning toward krezer so that i have money left to upgrade someone else during SC finals.
    Should I:
    Thumbs Up: Straight to Nic Nat
    or
    Thumbs Down: Go to Krezer, whilst saving about 123k
    (note: this is my R2)
    or should i just hold onto Giles for a week?

  18. Couch not getting picked has left me in a bit of a pickle! I had planned a double trade to raise some funds and turn dempsey into scotland and therefore completing my defence.

    Team as follows:
    D: lids, h.shaw, goddard, dempsey, enright, carrazzo, (s,shaw, ellis)
    M: ablett, priddis, j.selwood, hayes, pendles, mitchell, (sexton, yeo)
    R: cox, giles (campbell, derickx)
    F: Danger, chappy, harvey, martin, cloke, johnson, d.smith (adams, franklin)

    4 trades left, 97k in the bank. I was thinking about getting rid of adams or sexton and getting in miles but then I lose my M/F link.

    Ideas please….and quickly haha

  19. burning my last 2 trades and hoping for the best! my seasons shot anyway so i figured i may as well run the gauntlet. one for the sctalk community:
    trading out giles
    thumbs up nicnat
    thumbs down mcevoy
    mcevoy could be a good pod in finals, and is there any chance the eagles might rest nicnat and let coxy ruck for a full game in supercoach finals?
    thanks for the input!

    Thank you!

  21. Looking to bring in Beams
    Who to trade OUT, out of Porplyzia and Stanton

    Stanton has been terrible lately, will he come good again?
    Porplyzia has been going well so unsure

    Whoever I don’t trade will be in team for rest of the year

    T/U Trade Porplyzia
    T/D Trade Stanton

  24. Small whisper on SEN that Hale might be a late withdrawal. Not worth benching him but I’d make sure you use the emergency if you’ve got one.

  26. Sexton to Harper did not feel right so I have done Buddy to Beams to avoid the donut. I just hope the young star can keep pumping out big scores.

  27. Essendon. Even with the injuries I am disappointed with the endeavor of at least 2/3rds of the team.

  28. Just want thoughts on my team, don’t want to get abused. I know my defence is awful but oh well.

    DEF: Lids, Scotland, Lake, Mackie, Davis, Morris, Carrazzo (Ellis, Wilkes)
    MID: Watson, Ablett, Thompson, Boyd, S. Selwood, Pendles (Miles, Crozier)
    RUC: Cox, Giles (Campbell, Hall)
    FWD: Dangerfield, Beams, McGlynn, Zorko, Pfeiffer, Adams, Kennedy (Buddy, Sidebottom)

    Buddy and Sidebottom would usually be on for Adams/Pfeiffer and Kennedy.
    Thoughts?
