Had enough of looking at someone’s crappy scores week in, week out? Decided you can’t do without someone anymore?

Tell us what’s on your mind.

  2. Trying to fix my poor choice getting in Clancee Pearce (why did Goodes have to go down)
    Porps to Didak
    Pearce to Robinson

    They feel like sideways trades but feel like must dos to keep me in the top 10?

    Thumbs up good trade
    Thumbs down bad trade

    Any other suggestions on who to bring in?

  3. Holding fire thus week not a lot on the bubble unless I’ve missed something. Mac still has fattening and slightly concerned with spurrs no show and Ellis’s price drop.
    Didak can produce good scores but his fitness must be a concern will be sticking with photos u do believe.

  4. scored just under 2300, will be upgrading old mac donald and his horse soon though only on 12 trades left

  5. Would like to make some trades this week but there simply are no downgrade targets. Only 2 I can see is Darley and Bootsma who are both defenders and not really in the area I would like to trade

    Any other downgrades worth looking at (not Walsh)?

  6. This week i’m thinking of doing Bugg to Scotland and Porps to Chapman leaving me with 13 trades

  7. Would really appreciate opinions on who to trade out for Heath Shaw this week.
    Bugg, Conigilio, or Devon Smith (last 2 can easily be done by flicking around DPP’s in my side).

  8. Think it’s a boring no trade week. Got heaps of rookies who have maxed Milera, Morris, Greene, Coniglio and Clarke but there aren’t many rookies on the bubble

    Going to hang tight with my 14 trades and use some during the byes

  9. Thinking of making a bit of cash this round for a couple of premo upgrades after the bye’s. What’s people’s opinions of the following:
    Bugg out Bootsma in
    Giles out Pyke in

  10. Was thinking to cash in Shiel, But now thinking Coniglio considering his BE is the same as his average.
    Coniglio to Zorko (only good option)
    Milera to N.Riewoldt?

  11. Gotta flick Cloke. I keep hoping the hack will come good but after his shocker against the crows I feel like kicking him out. But at 395k their ain’t much at this price. My question is keep or trade.

    Up – trade the hack
    Down – keep, he’ll come good

  12. M Clarke to Waters and D Smith to JPK. I need a league win this week and I think that will do the trick 🙂

  13. Actually thinking of bringing Cloke in soon. If I could pick him up for around $350000 I just think itll be too cheap not to consider

  17. 17 trades left. This week 2 downgrades. Next week 3 upgrades! $200,000 in the kitty.

    Doing Morris (BE 63) -> Darley (BE -39) and Porplyzia -> …

    Alex Sexton (ave. 34, BE -5, first week sub, 55 in first full game) – Thumbs Up

    Tommy Walsh (ave. 44, BE -22, 4 last week after being subbed in Q3) – Thumbs Down

  19. I’ve got a dilemma guys that I need some help with. As it stands I will have 5 round 11 players in my forward line. These are Danger, Porps, Adams, Kennedy, Treloar. I also have Hall sitting in there also not playing so as it stands I will have four doughnuts in the forward line.

    I cant even swap any of them into the mids as the replacements are also round 11.

    What should I do? I only have $25k in the bank so will need some funds.
    Only thing I can think of is bring in Darley into the backline this week for Morris and upgrade Porps and then pull the trigger next week on another one (possibly Lewis as due for a big fall).

    Anyone else in this situation in the forward line?

  20. Opinions please:

    Thumbs up: D.Smith – Rioli

    Thumbs down: porps – Stevie J / pavlich

    Leaving me with 13 trades.

    As I have 2 Adelaide as well as 2 GWS players in froward line, trying to negotiate the RD 11 Bye.

  23. Beams for Christensen
    Shaw for Suckling Pig (more like Sucking Pig)

    Gonna have to hold onto Bugg for a few more weeks and weather the potential price drop to come.

  24. Your laptops on, you’re not home
    Your mind is not your own
    Your brow sweats, your finger shakes
    Another trade is what it takes

    Sheil to JKP , dollar signs is all you see
    There’s no doubt, too many rookies
    Your money’s is tight, you can’t upgrade
    Another trade is all you crave

    Whoahoo, you think you can negotiate bye rounds, oh yeah
    It’s closer to the truth to say you’ll never have enough
    You know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to trades

    Might as well face it, you’re addicted to trades
    Might as well face it, you’re addicted to trades
    Might as well face it, you’re addicted to trades
    Might as well face it, you’re addicted to trades

  25. Anyone have any news on Morabito from FREO? The lack of quality downgrade options this round has me thinking of going:

    Magner-Morabito
    Bugg-B Waters

    Morabito might not play this week but I have plenty of cover in MIDS. Reckon he’ll get a few games soon and could be a decent scorer over the second half of the year. Especially for someone at only $160,000.

    T/U – Go for it mate
    T/D – Nah, you’re clutching at straws

  26. Looking at Porps to Beams as sole trade this week

    Thumbs UP: – For sure, should consistantly get 100+ in forwards + DPP flexibility. Still only at season starting price & will have two big price rises prior to bye, so get on now.

    Thumbs Down: Not worth using trade for upgrading Porps + $200K for 25 points per week + DPP.

    Any comments on Beams – positive or negative would be greatly appreciated.

  28. Just a question guys
    Ive been lookin at my team and it looks like ill have to take a dive in rd 11 i have alot of players with the rd 11 byes and i think its pointless to bring in another player with the rd 12-13 bye i cant see anyway around it.
    Thoughts?

  29. Thumbs up: Morris, Mohr out. Waters/Hurn + Darley in (leaves my D7 as darley, smedts or spurr, will they keep getting games?)

    Thumbs Down: Morris, Spurr out. Waters/Hurn + Darley in. (Spurr has money to make but may not get a game due to Alex Silvagni back in the side, and of course Ross Lyon seeing Dawson as a good player.)

  30. Hey lads, do you think I should still trade in Zorko after his price rise? Looking to offload Adam Kennedy.

    Thumbs UP: Bring in the wizard
    Thumbs DOWN: Leave him on platform 9 and 3/4

    Thanks!

  31. Trades for the week are porps to johnson and clarke to lake (need a rd 11 defender and fall 5k short of scott thompson). Next week will be going giles to ? (mybe campbell seeing as bulldogs really need some talls in their fwd line), sheil to aaron black and morris to shaw. Then i’ll pick up priddis in rd 12 and a fwd premium for horsely and treloar (maybe danger or zaha).

    This will leave my team as:
    Backs: Lids, Goddard, Shaw, Birchall, Adcock, Lake, Dempsey (Spurr, Smedts)
    Mids: Ablett, Joelwood, Pendles, Jobe, Dal Santo, Priddis (C.Smith, Pfeiffer)
    Rucks: Sandi, Kreuzer (Campbell?, Redden)
    Fwds: Franklin, Chapman, Johnson, Martin, Beams, Danger/Zaha, Zorko (Black, Hall)

  32. Hi,
    Looking for a Round 12 forward bye.
    Can’t afford Sidebum (just), but need to upgrade Porps in search of league win.
    THUMBS UP: Beams ( Avg 105 Overall)
    THUMBS DOWN: O’keefe (Avg: 109 Last 3 games) + a handy 65k and POD.
    Open to Stevie J, Chaps, Pav suggestions
    Cheers

  33. Anyone liking these trades?
    Mohr >> Darley
    Milera >> S.Johnson
    Not really sure about Darley’s JS, and also getting Darley would give me some pretty weak reserves in him and Smedts (or sub for Tomlinson in fwds)
    Gives me 33k left.

  34. For myself this week having a few young blokes on field with high BE and not much of downgrade options thinking going double upgrade

    M,Clarke > H,Scotland
    &
    S,Conigilio > G,Ablett

    Just a simple THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN would suffice, cheers

  37. help us guys.

    I want to strenghten the backline a bit and am thinking of trading milera (might have capped out) thanks to the Smedts swinging forward.

    Gives me $311k to play with…thinking of Heppell?

    Other backs are goddard, deleido, shaw, bugg, clake, spurr and L Brown.

    Thoughts up for good, down for there are better options.

    I have 4 tigers, magpies, Giants and hawks so trying to steer clear of those teams

  38. Hey guys,

    I’m looking to upgrade a mid this week and would prefer the best round 13 mid under around $480k which would put me in a great possies to get swanny after his bye to complete my mids. Looking at either:

    Thumbs up: montagna
    Thumbs down: Gibbs
    Other Rnd13 mid: comment please.

    Thanks.

  39. Nicky Dal in > Magner out – Thumbs Up

    OR

    Beau Waters > Bugg out – Thumbs Down

    I don’t believe Bugg and Magner can reach their BE’s and Dal Santo and Waters price is going up

  40. Andrew McQualter (FWD) at $246,100?

    His first two scores have been 80 and 94.

    As a Saints supporter I’m skeptical but what do you all think?

  41. What to do with Ellis???
    With his price drop and his green vests has he reached his peak?

    T/U hold on

  42. Out Morris, Mohr
    In Waters, Darley

    Darley would have to be my D7 or smedts or spurr which all 3 JS is not great.

  43. Anyone else think this round is gonna be absolutely huge? Geelong vs GWS at skilled, Hawks vs North at Launceston, Essendon vs. Melbourne, Carlton vs Port, WCE vs Brisbane and Collingwood vs GC should all be extremely one sided supercoach bonanzas 🙂

  44. Thankfully no trades for me this week…still have 14 & I wanted to go into the byes with around 13-14, so I’m hopfully on track!

    Just a quick poll in regards to the Tigers form this season…

    Thumbs up……….Tigers will play finals this year
    Thumbs down……Tigers are going well, but I think they will play finals next year

  45. Cannot help myself, I’m now thinking these 2 trades for balance in my team for the bye rounds

    Devon Smith out Zorko in…..dpp for dpp, although same bye round
    Porpoise out O’Keefe in….extra dpp for bye rounds

    T/U….Solid trades go for it
    T/D….Pass, terrible trades

  46. ok ive calmed down since this morning, thinking that maybe trading cloke is a dumb move for the future. He is a prem forward who has had a fall in form. If i trade him out he’ll start killing it i know it. So i neeeeed to get sidebum in!! only problem is his 600k pricetag!!! WTF!! the next highest guy on the list is nick riewoldt at 494k. if i trade for sidey ill have about 80k in the bank.
    so…
    Thumbs up do taylor adams – sidebum
    Thumbs down shit idea, suggest a better 1

    Will most likely bring in Raph Clarke and Zac Dawson for some rookies that have hit their peak.
    Good trades??

  50. Looking ahead to the byes, I think it will be crucial to have all 30 players in your team playing (Maybe besides from Redden).
    I have Aaron Hall sitting at F9 and am thinking of trading him out. He still has a negative break-even, but he can’t go up in price not playing! Anyone heard any info or news about him, because he has completely fallen of the radar of Gold Coast it seems. Any injury?
    Would love to hear if anyone knows anything!

  51. Undecided whether to trade this week. However, Magner could do early exit rather than waiting for Priddis trade (rnd 12). Votes on trading Magner out to:-

    Thumbs UP: GAJ – $688,300 – BE147, no cash left
    Ave-140.57, L5-140.4, L3-128.7 with Pies, St-Kilda, North prior to bye.
    Get Swan after bye & mids complete

    Thumbs DOWN: Beams – $546,800 – BE 69, cash to upgrade to Priddis
    Ave-105.12, L5-119.8, L3-121.3 with GC, Melb then bye
    Moved into forwards once Priddis & / or GAJ / Swan in team

  52. Hey guys, serial lurker, first time poster.
    I’m pretty set on my trades:
    Morris – Darley
    McDonald – ABLETT :D!

    This means that I’ve essentially used 4 trades to get Rockliff (Ablett – Rockliff, Greene – Zorko) and have copped scores of 74, 86, 146 and 87. Ugh.

    What do you guys think of Darley’s JS?

  55. Posted this last week and got a number of thumbs up so I thought I’d stick with what’s working. Plus I’m a curious beast and find it interesting to see who’s on a hot streak. Useful for SC but just as useful for my interest in the game overall.

    It’s all about consistency of 100+ scores.

    The players listed below are currently on a streak of 100+ of four or more (had it at five last week but I delved deeper to four this week). Format is name, amount of 100+ games this year/total games played this year, current length of 100+ streak (extending back in to 2011 for a select group of three)

    Some of the results are surprising. Iles in particular astounded me. He’s working along way “off broadway” up there at Metricom.

    ABLETT, 7/7 100+ in 2012, 16 game streak of 100+
    J SELWOOD, 8/8, 13
    JP KENNEDY, 9/9, 10
    DELEDIO, 9/9, 9
    SIDEBOTTOM, 8/9, 8
    PENDLEBURY, 8/9, 6
    I MARIC, 6/9, 6
    J WATSON, 8/9, 4
    CHAPMAN, 6/9, 4
    SHUEY, 6/9, 4
    H SHAW, 4/7, 4
    ILES, 4/6, 4

  58. Looking at this downgrade option of either Marty Clarke or Courtenay Dempsey for Darley. At the moment Marty Clarke is warnin the pine and Dempsey is on the park. Question is which player is likely to have a consistently higher score than the other?
    T/D Clarke for Darley
    T/U Dempsey for Darley

  59. Ok, so it’s double upgrade week.

    Upgrading Coniglio > Boyd/Watson/JPK
    Porpus > Robinson/Beams/Stevie J

    I’m currently leaning towards JPK and Robinson but will probably change my mind 5 times before lock out.

    Any suggestions?

  60. I need to get a premium ruck in and am having trouble deciding who will be the best choice for the rest of the year.
    Already been burnt by Mumfords injury and am worried about Sandi’s toe, Am steering away from the WestCoast boys because of the bye rounds and don’t know if Maric will keep up his form for the rest of the year.
    Any suggestions?

  61. Thinking of going:

    Magner -> Zorko
    Coniglio -> Dal Santo/Ward

    That will see me with: Ablett, J.Selwood, S. Selwood, J.Kennedy, Zorko, Dal Santo/Ward (and Swanny on the bench waiting for him to return)

    What do you think? Pull the trigger or leave it as is

  63. OK Guys. Firstly, thanks to all the regulars on the site. Been a great source of entertainment, banter and insight. Hoping those same regulars could help me with my side. In a very Unique setup. It is a Cash League. Rule is you must have NO TRADES by the end of the Byes. Last year we weren’t allowed to use trades until Round 11. Reversed it this year so as that your side is locked in, no turning back, goes strictly on judgement and hope.

    Here is my Side:
    Deledio, Goddard, Scotland Bench: Smedts Darley
    H.Shaw, M.Clarke, Bugg, Dempsey

    Ablett, Pendlebury, Mitchell Bench: Magner Horseley
    Kennedy, Priddis, Shiel

    Kreuzer, Giles Bench: Stephenson, Rowe

    Franklin, Pavlich, Dangerfield Bench: Pfeiffer, Couch
    Reiwoldt, Hale, Porplyzia, Adams

    8 Trades Left – What to do??
    Efficient me says 2 trades per line.
    Points wise, I say DEF/MID/FWD and then last 2 whatever I can scrounge.
    But who to get? Been looking at the fixture and it has been doing my head in.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    PS: Great Site

  64. Looking to upgrade morris as is the only spot left i feel is letting me down and will then feel happy to avoid trades for a few weeks. I have just 73,900 in the bank (after moving coniglio to stanton), was looking at mackie and malceski however they both fall just outside my range. Whos the best option to solidify that spot for me? Drummond looks appealing, and as a bomber fan jake carlilse would be nice but dont think i would trust him as a fantasy player.. where would you guys go?

  65. Im thinking of upgrading devon smith to either zaharakis, or dangerfield, dangerfield has a very achievable BE of around 80, but he can be very streaky, scoring well one week and not so well the next, zaharakis has a BE of just over 100, which is pretty high, but they are playing melbourne this week so i expect him to score high because they really stink. Dangerfield is about 40k more.

    Thumbs up – Dangerfield
    Thumbs Down – Zaharakis.

  66. Enright coming into my team this week, leaving only H.Shaw to come in for m.clarke next week.

    Enright is definitely a smokey, no pre season but having a look at his numbers, my bet is he improves with geelong as year goes on.

  67. Who should I upgrade Ellis to?

    Thumbs Up – Michael Johnson
    Thumbs Down – Corey Enright

    Would appreciate advice if you think I’m better off moving Mohr on instead of Ellis though?

  68. Been doing some bye strategy work tonight and i’m schtuffed massively!! If i don’t do any trades (which i will of course) i’m looking at this:

    Rnd 11: 2 mid and 5 fwd doughnuts (but i’ll have a def emerg)
    Rnd 12: no doughnuts (likely 1 ruck emerg and i fwd emerg)
    Rnd 13: 3 def doughnuts and 1 fwd doughnut

    Playing 7 short in Rnd 11 doesn’t sound fun. Even if GAJ scores 500 as captain everyone else has him so i’m still schtuffed.

    Will be doing alot number crunching to see what i can do to salvage something from this. Might also cast a glance at my league matches to see what my opponents teams are looking like.

  69. I’m thinking I’ve got nothing left to lose. Going to have to weather the storm with Hawkins. I have a feeling they will rest him from this round until at least round 13 even tho’ they’re saying he might only miss one week.

    1. OUT? Hale. A high breakeven (120) and think at the start of the year I expected Roughead to be out for much longer than he was. Plus I’m unsure as to when Bailey will also be back.
    IN? Welcome back, Goldstein. With a small breakeven (36) and doubts over McIntosh, I’m swooping in.

    2. OUT? Aaron “MIA” Hall. Coooo-eeeeeee where are you?
    IN? Why hai there Mr. “MOO” Zorko!

    I can *just* manage to get this done, $4, 700 left.
    If Zeph Skinners scores had been higher (vest hasnt helped) I’d have considered him and kept some spare cash handy.

    OUT: Coniglio, Morris
    IN: Stanton, Drummond.

    But been looking around and think that this might be a better way to do things:
    OUT: Coniglio, Morris
    IN: Sidebottom, Mackie.
    This would allow give me more flexibility come byes and i would also plan to wait a few weeks for treloar or horsley to max out (whichever comes first) and then be able to swap porplyzia for stanton to set me up well for the rest of the year.
    So could we do a thumbs up for the new trade and thumbs down if i should keep the original trade and reply for another way to do things. And would also like to hear what you guys think of mackie. Bad choice?

  71. Tough decision here:

    Coniglio to Zorko and then Porps to Chapman (TU)
    or
    Porps to Zorko and then Coniglio to NDS (TD)

    I’m thinking the latter, since Chapman has a higher BE and I can probably pick him up next week
    Thoughts?
