Motts has decided to shelve the Movers for the SC Finals series. I figure you’re either looking at rookies to downgrade to (in which case Big Sexy is your biggest help) or premiums to upgrade to (in which case you’d already know who you’re after).
One bloke that I did look at for my own backline this week though was Michael Johnson of Freo. Last 3 weeks: 151, 99, 113. He’s only $418k (which is about all I can afford) and has fresh legs after a 6 week break – something to do with an energy drink 😉 – what are your thoughts?
I will continue with the random polls. Still prepared to take suggestions if you’ve got ’em.

Instead of Motts’ Movers, I need Motts’ Miracle Makers!
I haven’t suggested a poll yet, so here goes: How about a poll on mid-priced DPPs? I’m kicking myself for not having recognised the DPP benefits even when pointed out ad nauseum during the season. I have plenty in the Bs and Fs but no one in the Cs to swap them with (chuck in a Homer “Doh!” there, if you like). I have bugger all cash so am looking at the likes of Houli, Higgins, Carrazzo, Davis, Gram, Doughty, Brennan, Greenwood. Depending on injuries, they may have to be in the 22 but hopefully will only be needed for useful bench coverage. I’ve narrowed it down to 3 but would be interested in the opinions of the SCT readership.
Do you want a Best DPP poll or three separate polls: Best M/F, Best D/F, Best D/F?
I like the sound of the Best M/F – I need a good M/F in my team although I already have BBBB!
I am specifically looking for a M/F or M/D – don’t care which.
Wonder Mott’s if you could put up a poll between trading Pods, O’Keefe or Brown out for the finals.
Yep, will do.
Yeah I’m trying to work out the Same thing with Grundy, Higgins, Pods and Brown… who out of them would you trade out for the Volt?
Grundy – was good early but is struggling now. I know he’s a D/F DPP though so could be handy.
I had to decide between Higgins and Grundy last week. Opted for Grundy and boy did he let me down. You owe me this week Reg.
It’s time for me to bring in Didak and Riewoldt, so it’s time to go either JPod, ROK, or Grundy. Decisions decisions.
sylvia or pavlich……
confused who to upgrade too…. any suggestions?
2 trades left..
Is it best to trade and make sure you win the quailifying final or save the trade and risk losing because you’ve got a second chance?
i would try and win the qualifying final….
2 trades left and 96 k in the bank, Im thinking of going Mark Murphy into
Ablett and Goodwin into Goddard, any thoughts out there in SC land???
If your finals matchup is looking tough go all out, might as well get as far as you can.
i got 3 trades left im dominating my league but one of them can beat me.
Ive got 250 k in the bank and i want to downgrade scully to hardingham and upgrade schoenmakers to lake then i will have 120 k left should i get gram next week. I have great Benches.
I was also wondering if you need any benches who play for the backline for finals? any thoughts? PLEASE REPLY QUIK THANKS!
by the way the gram trade would be for bradley sheoperd
please reply quik
is it to risky to have no back bench cover
It is a HUGE risk. Anything can happen especially in the turbulent final rounds. Of course, you could cruise through without a drama but you would be kicking yourself if you didn’t have the cover and really needed it. This is cut-throat, remember, except for the top 4 in week 1. The only reason not to have bench cover is if you have DPP cover.
Depends. What is your full backline?
If your backline players don’t have like constant hammy problems or something like that then you would prob not need any benches for your backline.
i mean gilbert
I might have bench cover Jonesy it depends if Roberton or Schoenmakers get named.
My backline is Goddard Hodge Malceski Lake Kelly Waters and Hunt. Lake and kelly are not in my team yet though. They are gonna be my trades for Maguire and Bradley sheopard. Then my bench will be Schoenmakers and Roberton. Thanks mate please reply.
I don’t really think you have to worry about your benches. Your backline will be good tho
sorry jonesy it will be sheopoerd on my feild instead of hunt. cause i need to trade hunt 4 cash
Joel MacDonald (Melbourne) 398,300. Last 3: 113, 108, 87. He’s starting to find some some and he has a reasonably easy run home barring Hawthorn (Richmond, Hawthorn, Port and North) I have been watching this guy all year and he has finally racked up two tonnes. A good cheaper option.
BE: 30
Mots,
Could you please make a rambling asking who will get rested in round 18-22.
Thanks
I have not requested anything before.
max, you need to chill buddy, no one here knows who going to get rested, unless one of us is a physic of course.
I predicted you’d say that, PA.
Sandilands – R19.
can someone help me? i have 4 trades left and 60k in the bank, and there is 2 players i want to trade out.
OUT: Carrazzo IN: Gilbert ,because of carazzo’s poor form
OUT: Hall IN: Reiwoldt ,i want reiwoldt for the finals
What does everyone think????? PLease comment 🙂
Gilbert hasn’t really been setting the world on fire (avg for last 3 rnds = 60 vs Carrazzo’s 58). He’s got a good history, though, not unlike Enright (who has also sucked recently) for scoring potential and around the same price.
Do u have anyone else that you can trade out for riewoldt thats not in good form
No, all of my other fwds are premium guns, exept for jb at the moment
Its a tough choice then Halls goin good and Riewolts due to fire but not sure when im predicting verry soon
Hey guys i need some advice i finished the season 2nd in my league i have 3 trades left and$86,600 in the bank, I think i need to get Swan in my team to make it to the prelim but not sure of the best way to do it. Im thinkin downgradin one of my gun forwards to someone like Robbie Hicks and then upgrade Mcveigh to Swan any advice would be appreciated.
Backs-Hodge, Goddard Maceski, Kennelly,Gilbee,Enright, Waters
Bench-P,Davis, J,webberley
Mids-GAJ,Selwood,Montagna,Dalsanto,Didak, M,Mcveigh
Bench-Armstrong,Gysberts
Rucks-Hille.Naitanui
Bench-Trengrove,Warnock
Forw-Chapman,Pavlich,ROK,Betts,Grundy,Franklin,PODS
Bench-Rockliff,Fyfe
Get rid of either Rock or Fyfe, because theres no use of that much coin sittin on the pine. Then u might have enough for the Swann trade.
What if i get rid of betts bring in Robbie hicks for the bench and start rockliff on the ground his been in good form if i get rid of fyfe i wont be able to get Swan
3 trades left 6,800 cash
My Side:
Hodge,Goddard,Enright,Waters,Shaw,Carazzo,Maguire EMG Silvagni
Swan,Judd,Bartel,Selwood,K.Cornes,Rischetelli EMG Moles + Gysberts
Cox,Sandilands
Pav,O’Keefe,Betts,Pods,Brown,Stevie J,Fyfe EMG Davis
should i trade Moles to Harwood
then Fyfe to Riewoldt
and later on trade Maguire to Gilbert or someone of that quality
or hold on to the trades im in the qualifing final so i have a double chance
thoughts???
i have three trades im usin 2 to get me to the prelim.Those trades sound ok Riewodts due to fire
alrite thanks mate for the help
Despite the meeting with Collingwood being one of the most anticipated matches of the season, Thompson isn’t about to shelve his plan to continue resting some of his men in the lead-up to the finals.
“If we have some players who have got minor injuries, we’ll pull them out again,” Thompson said.
“It’ll be like business as usual for us. We’re pretty healthy, though, at the moment.”
Joel Corey (knee), Paul Chapman (knee) and Cameron Ling (toe) are all under an injury cloud, but Thompson doesn’t expect they’ll need to be rested.
While a number of players received knocks on the weekend, including captain Cameron Ling (toe), Joel Corey (knee), Mathew Stokes (calf), Paul Chapman (knee) and Josh Hunt (calf), they have all been given the green light for Saturday night at this stage.
Some mixed comments from bomber, I don’t hav chappy but was looking at him for next week if I lose this weeks game. But still something to think about with cats players.
Looking at all the SCT posts over the last few days i have come to a conclusion. There are alot of people stressing, panicking, fretting, over-analysing this weeks round. Yes, it is SC finals. Yes, it is important you win. No, you don’t have to trade this week. I just thought i’d chuck it out there into cyberspace that you do have an option of holding onto your trades confident in the team that’s got you this far and save your trades for injury cover.
Reading posts of people with one trade left that they’re going to use up makes me laugh. These posts should start with a preface. “Hi, my team’s struggling and i’ve wasted all my trades already and i’m going to blow the last one now too”.
FYI. 3 trades left and keeping my powder dry this week (provided Bomber and Micky don’t play silly buggers and rest GAJ, Enright, Swanny and Dids .. then, and only then, i will enter the trade arena).
I’ll have both Goodwin and Hurn on the pine this week. Was going to use my 2 trades to get Riewoldt and Didak. Now I’m thinking one of my injured backs will have to go to at least give me some cover otherwise will have to play Smith and Webberley. My only saving grace is that my opponent this week (my boss!) also has Goodwin and Hurn so he’s in the same boat! And we both have Rioli on the pine too. Ahh office politics!
