Rd 13 has long been designated as the toughest of the Bye Rounds. Are you staring at any donuts? What changes do you need to make?
Was planning to trade M Hore but now will likely keep him hopefully as a D6/D7.
Trade options for this round are:
TU: Out: N Answerth, T Atkins, L Baker, In: R Gray, B Bewley and J Dunkley
Complete forwards of Danger, T Kelly, J Dunkley, I Heeney, R Gray and J Westhoff.
TD: Out: N Answerth, T Atkins, B Smith, In: R Gray, D Clarke, L Ryan
Def complete consisting of Lloyd, Laird, Ryan, Williams, Andrews and Hore.
Either way will have 19 playing for RD13.
No Boak 🙁
Cash and trades situation won’t permit which is why R Gray has been selected and prefer Dunkley over T Boak.
I’m in the same position. Would love to get Boak in as my last fwd but am going to go Gray because the extra 100k is indispensable to complete other lines with so few fat cows.
No Sicily?
Complete the forwards and save the last back spot for Whit.
Bewley (Freo) and Gardner (Dogs) if they play into my team this week looking at 1100 SC points, problem not many good rookies available this week. Got 12 players available this week with Cripps will be the most popular C this week I would think
gardiner should have good JS
WB need to blood fwds & @ least he makes a contest for WB 15 midfielders
Upgrade season!
Out: Hore, Clark and Scott
In: Sicily, Boak and Bewley
This is what I’m thinking for this week:
OUT: Clark, Answerth, Baker
IN: Gardner, Ryan, Sicily
This almost completes my backline (depends if we count Hore as D6 or not), leaving me with 9 trades and one MID spot left to upgrade.
Then, in the later round if I have no injuries, I can upgrade some of the stragglers to proper premos (i.e Hore, Steele, Worpel etc.)
Thoughts?
gunna upgrade Darcy Moore this week.
TU – Boak
TD – Dunkly
can’t choose
Hypothetically, if for some reason you could only have one, who would you rather have for the remainder of the season?
TU: Grundy
TD: Gawn
T/U Get grundy in for Goldstein now
T/D Wait a week or two
Wait until round 14. Grundy doesn’t play this week; Goldstein does.
Keeping the value of having extra numbers across the byes in mind, what combination of players would you rather have for the remainder of the season?
TU: One of Gawn/Grundy, Goldstein, and Sicily
TD: Gawn, Grundy, and Hore
I’m getting concerned about Grundy’s ankle.
Future doughnuts (1-2) to come before end of season….IMO
Not too much of an issue for me, as I have Lycett in my forward line, but it’s certainly something for those without cover to think about.
Rob as r3 may be my smartest move all year !!
Who is the best Mid under 565k? byes don’t matter
Sloane??
In no particular order of preference
A Gaff, M Bontempelli, R Sloane, C Oliver, M Crouch and A Brayshaw.
reckon Oliver has highest ceilingand will always get 90 odd cause of his contested possesions….if his de is over 70…his score rockets. Bont probably gives a less rocky ride.
I don’t know if he counts but Merrett is exactly 565k
Technically he’s $200 over, but if the OP can afford it then he’s a great option.
McCrouch will be cheap just injury prone
Trade out:
Balta, Sheed & Clark
Trade in:
C. Daniel, Bont, Naish
This will complete my forward line of
Danger, Heeney, Kelly, Dunkley, Boak , Daniel
My def is also complete
Hurn, Houli, Whitfield, Williams, Lloyd, Smith & Hore as a D7
Will need 2 more mids after bont looking at Neale and as one
Whitfield is injured
Answerth > Bewley
Balta > Dunkely
Will have 20 on the field this week.
Next week the plan is to downgrade ROB and
Goldstein > Grundy
Brodie Smith > Luke Ryan
Whoops I already have Dunkley. That should real Caleb Daniel. I’ve confused my doggies.
Think that happens to Mr Magnets as well.
Out: Answerth, Clark & Balta (would’ve loved him to have a low BE)
In: Bewley, R. Gray & Boak
You
Sorry guys, I’m commenting again.
Thoughts on this:
Trading out Atkins, Petruccelle, Answerth
Trading in Merrett, Bewley, Ryan
This would leave me with this 12 trades and this team:
Hurn, Lloyd, Ryan, Williams, B Smith, Milera (Hore, Duursma)
Fyfe, Neale, Cripps, Macrae, Merrett, B Crouch, M Crouch, Walsh (Stack, Bewley, Ross)
Gawn, Goldstein (Bines)
Kelly, Dangerfield, Boak, Daniel, Moore, Baker (Corbett, Young)
Downgrade better option:
T/U – Gardner
T/D – Naish
Alright, gonna press the attack and continue with the my previously laid trade plans. Ranked 3,157 currently.
So, this week:
Atkins -> Bewley
Whitfield -> Sicily
Answerth -> Dunkley
Rationale: I need to drop 2 R13 players, Dunkley is sure to be a Top 6 FWD if he continues to get midfield time and Sicily seems to be the best option down back out of the defenders coming off their bye.
Leaves me with 78k and 11 trades.
Thoughts?
For reference, here’s my team pre-trades:
DEF: Hurn, Lloyd, Houli, Whitfield, Ryan, Hore, Burgess & Stewart
MID: J. Kelly, Fyfe, Cunnington, Macrae, Cripps, Oliver, Walsh, Duursma, Atkins, Answerth & T. Watson (loophole)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy & Sweet (loophole)
FWD: Dangerfield, Boak, Heeney, Darling, Baker, Setterfield, Corbett & Gardner
Which downgrade option is best?
TU:
Clark > Gardner
Scott > Bewley
TD:
Clark > Naish
Atkins > Bewley
Then should upgrade:
TU: Atkins > Boak (Setterfield DPP)
TD: Corbett > Boak
Only have 16 playing if I trade Corbett
I want to trade out three players being J. Clark, Answerth and maybe a B.Scott, but I cannot figure a way to do it whilst maximising players on field. Anyone have any idea on what I should do to achieve this most effectively? Or if there is any other of combination of players I should trade based on my team below. Have 133k in bank (All players on my bench have bye)
Def: Laird, Sicily, Z.Williams, B. Smith, X. Duursma , C Burgess [J.LLloyd, J.Clark]
Mid: P Cripps, J. Macrae, M.Crouch, S. Walsh, T. Liberatore, W Setterfield, B. Scott , N. Answerth (Bye) [L. Neale, C. Oliver, O. Baker]
Rucks : Z.Clarke, Grundy (Bye) [Gawn]
Fwd: Dunkley, J. Cameron, L. Baker, J. Corbett, R. Young , P Dangerfield (Bye) [T.Kelly, Heeney]
Thanks 🙂
Try Clark, Scott and Baker for Gardner, Bewley, and Gray………..then swap Duursma with Answerth…….but be advised this info is from someone who has pendles and cogs in their team.
Do you guys think Robbie Gray can average 90+ for the rest of the season?
TU: Take Robbie Gray at F6 @ 405k (should have enough money for two upgrades in R14)
TD: Spend 500k for Boak, Daniel, Mundy, etc. (but will only have enough money for 1 upgrade in R14)
My other FWD premos are Dunkley, Danger, T.Kelly, Heeney, Worpel.
No, Wines and Rocky come back into that midfield. Gray will go forward again.
Hey guys, this is my team. How can I improve after or even during the bye-rounds? My defense clearly needs a lot of improvements just don’t know how to do it. I currently only have 23K with 14 trades remaining.
Def:
Hurn, Lloyd, Houli, Hore, Clark, Answerth, (Gardner, Watson)
Mid:
Fyfe, Bont, Neale, Cripps, Treloar, Coniglio, Walsh, O.Baker (Gibbons, Setterfield, Scott)
Fwd:
Kelly, Dangerfield, Heeney, M.Robinson, Boak, Baker (Larkey, R.Young)
Ruc:
Gawn, Grundy (Flynn)
Brayshaw/Hore: Out
Sicily/Boak: In
TU: bring in the premos (will help my rd13 bye)
TD: bad idea
Cheers guys
TU : Blakely
TD : Johanissen
TU: L Ryan
TD: J Sicily
oliver ts tempting @ 539 k
6 of 8 tons including a 175 & a BE of 85
don’t know if i could handle another premo failure though
Oliver has regained his 2018 form and will average 115 from here. A perfect fallen Premo.
Get him next week though. He’s got the bye this week.
What to do with Whitfield:
T/U: Hold
T/D: Trade
Clarke / Ross / Corbett
To
Naish / Bewley / J Dunkley
11 trades left, 3 upgrades to make
T/U: Boak
T/D: Cunnington
Was planning on upgrading Drew>Boak, however I need to get rid of Corbett because his BE is too high and he’s at a price where he’s too cheap to get a suitable upgrade(Mundy, Jezza etc) and there are no downgrade fwd options(already have Gardner). Should I sideways trade Corbett to a Setterfield or Josh Bruce whose BE is low and can make me cash for a few weeks and upgrade them later on, or stick to Drew>Boak this week and just let Corbett lose money and make it even harder to upgrade him later?(him and Drew are my only viable upgrade targets)
Interested to hear people’s thoughts on Ziebell, am looking to finalise my last forward spot (was always going to be Boak), but when played in the guts Ziebell offers better value than Boak and has got me thinking??
I’d wait for the injury report on Higgins. You should expect him to see a lot more time in the middle if Higgins misses weeks and could pay off.
Totally agree. With Higgins out for 4-6 it almost guarantees he stays in the middle for that long at least.
Underpriced for that you’d think but make sure you’re prepared for the worst (ie sell or F7) later on in the season. That just means having trades up your sleeve or enough depth.
He and Shaw seem to be on the same page tho so I feel he’ll likely hold his spot there anyway. Would love to hear RB’s and other North fans’ views on this.
Previous history says he’s priced about right for what we might expect, but NTH are playing a more SC-friendly game than in the past so there may be upside?!
Shame about the imminent bye and his BE, but again if you’ve decent cover for that …
Does anyone know how long Liam Stocker is out for?
3-4 according to their website. Maybe back via VFL too.
Looking at final upgrade in DEF line. Who stays at D6?
T/U Hore
T/D BSmith
Trade out – Corbett, Atkins Parker
Trade In – bewley, Taranto, zieball
Great suggestion Boner, I like you POD’s in Tarranto & Zieball.
OUT: Balta, Atkins, Whitfield
IN: Boak, Macrae and Naish
Think Naish might be unlucky if Ellis is back this week. Hopefully they give him another go and give Balta the flick?!
Currently ranked 16 overall now time to attack rd 13 hard
Balta Atkins hore out in luke Ryan mcrae and dunkley
The fact you’re 16 and can hit a triple upgrade is insane. Well played.
That’s a mighty effort. You should join the SuperCoach Talk group. 900763.
Sensational !!! If you have the trades in hand, go for it !!! My memory is most overall winners come to the fore late in the season with trades in hand. Shame Hore would have to go…do you have def cover for after the byes ?
https://www.facebook.com/groups/426396894802720/?ref=bookmarks
Hypothetically,
if I was to go early on a rookie this week, out of the 2, who has the best job security?
TU – Gardner
TD – Clarke
Clarke might not play next week with Fantasia, Shiel and Stringer expected back in.
You mean this week David?!?
Or is that me being English 😉
Are you english!!
I was once.
That explains it !!
LOL
if you were to pick one of the 2
TU: Bewely
TD: Gardner (WB)
Out: Answerth, Clark, Balta
In:
TU – Bewley, Marshall, Gray
TD – Gardner, Daniel, Gray
T/U: Petrucelle & Clark -> Boak & Bewley
T/D: Petrucelle, Clark & Answerth -> Dunkley, Bewley & Clarke
Thoughts on Gresham? Been good the past two weeks and AFL.com have rated the Saints as having the easiest remaining draw.
I wouldn’t. Rate him but with Hanners maybe not far off and Steven on leave with expected return anything from a week to next season, to never, I just think it’s too big a risk given he’ll likely get less MID-minutes in either/both scenario(s).
Ive had him since the start…….kinda gotta hold him now and hope his good recent form stays. Bringing him in is a more tricky thing.
Currently have 19 players, INCLUDING Gardner, Stocker, Young
Should I trade Oskar Baker to Bewley?
TU: yes
TD: no
I’d go Stocker OUT sadly. Won’t be back for 3-4 apparently. Baker should play next week.
Yep, at least it makes the decision easy
Will Luke Ryan average 100 from here out (current average of 104.5), with Alex Pearce out?
TD: yes
TD: no
I know he has a low BE but I worry that if Logue isn’t up to Pearce’s role, then Ryan may be charged with being more accountable.
I think it’s unlikely, but just wanted to make you aware of my minor concern.
TU Dunkley
TD Boak
So far have done:
Trade out Clark, stack, darling
Trade in Gardner, fyfe, gray
Team is
Laird, Sicily, Ryan, Williams, crisp duursma, answerth, Gardner
Fyfe, cripps, merret , macrae, m.crouch, yeo neale, Walsh, gibbons, baker, Clarke
Gawn, Grundy, bines
Danger, dunks, Kelly, boak, gray, Cameron, baker, young
Next week will move heaven and earth to bring in llyod. Want to keep a player with job security on bench in each line. So plan to keep duursma d7, baker f7, gibbons/walsh m9
Baker could become the Hoff next week as f7 and ruck cover.
Would leave me with 8 trades if I use 3 this week. With a mid and llyod in defence to upgrade
Rank 2821, dropped 300 spots this week
Hoff ?
Answerth to Naish. Corbett to Boak.
TU: Yes
TD: Too early to pull the Naish trigger
You already got Gardner?
Yep. Gardner came in last week for some cash generation. I’ve still got 17 trades, so I’m not overly concerned about using them.
Wanting to bring in J Sicily this week, originally had plans to trade out Hore due to Melb having the bye this week, however he seems a possible keeper.
On the other hand, Brodie Smith looks like he needs to go, although adelaide play this week. Questions is…. who do I trade out for Sicily?
TU – Marty Hore
TD – Brodie Smith
If you’re thinking of that upgrade you must have a strong team. Surely you’ve got other fish to fry on other lines?
I have both and am keeping both for now, maybe forever!
Wouldn’t be bad for D6/7 with Gardner as a loophole when he’s dropped 😉
I agree with RB. I’d be looking at other lines unless you’re already at FULL!
Thoughts on selling Grundy? Sounds absurd, but hear me out…
This huge cash injection allows me to sell Grundy, L. Baker and Clark, swing Lycett to the ruck and bring in Gray, Dunkley and Sicily. Leaving me with 14 trades, $103,700, XXX players this round and the team as:
Def:Hurn, Lloyd, Sicily, Williams, Andrews, Hore (B. Smith, Answerth)
Mid: Fyfe, Neale, Cripps, Macrae, Oliver, B. Crouch, Libba, Duursma (Bewley, Setterfield, Rowbottom)
Ruck: Goldy, Lycett (Bines)
Fwd: Kelly, Dunkley, Danger, Heeney, Billings, Gray (Begley, Young)
Then in coming weeks, sell Libba and Duursma etc who have a bit to grow, whilst Grundy potentially falls 100k, before bringing him back in.
2800th overall, having dropped 1600 spots last round 🙁 but trades in hand
Thoughts?
And yes, I appreciate its usually a terrible idea when it begins with “but hear me out”
Just think it will cost you 40pts/week during his absence that’s all. I’d actually keep Baker this week and trade out Answerth instead of Grundy and get another warm body onfield. Answerth only stands to make another $12k over the next 4 weeks if he isn’t dropped sooner. Not worth holding. For any reason.
Then grundy comes back and smashes out 2 x 140 and drops about 30 k or so and you think how do i get him back in!
I’m usually a fan of clever plans like this, but keep in mind that Grundy’s next game is against the Bulldogs – his price may not end up falling as much as you think.
Totally agree…I was thinking of holding off the Goldy (thank you for your services) to Grundy trade an extra week, as I still have rob and gawn. But, I remember what gawn did to the doggies a few weeks back and rested up, Grundy should do the same.
One of these needs to go this week, to generate the cash needed to finally trade in Fyfe
TU: Trade out Hore
TD: Trade out Duursma
Looks like I’ll have the bare 18 this week, so trades will focus on next week. Cash is at a premium with $104k in the bank, but 19 trades left. Thinking:
Setterfield/Balta to Gardner/Dunkley
I would have preferred to trade out Corbett than setterfield (who’s got another price jump in him), but can’t afford the upgrade then. And of course going a week early on Gardner isn’t ideal (says the bloke with Mitchell Hinge sitting on his bench). Fwd line will then be complete.
So…
T/U
T/D
TU: Sicily
TD:Ryan
TU: Luke Ryan
TD: James Sicily
Scroll up
Ask during PM hours – Sicily
Ask in the AM – Ryan
Can everyone help rank the FWD options Under $498500?
Marshall, Zeibell, Daniel, Walters, any others?
Thanks 🙂
Go with you your gut mate pick 1 of them.
Looking at the same decision…Walters dpp gets the nod. Now very reliable too. Hope he keeps kicking clutch late goals !!
Would you believe it – $700 short of doing:
Out – Clark, Balta, Parker
In – Ryan, Gardner, Boak
:((((
Bring in Sicily instead of Ryan
Already got him!
Ah ok. Um, maybe go Laird or a POD option in Stewart? Both ultra reliable picks
Fortunately already have laird, looking for extra number this week and next so options limited.
Blakely, tho risky, is an option that fits!?
I know a shonky loan shark !!
Thinking…..with 17 trades in hand.
1. Hore into Sicily (already have Hurn, Ryan, Williams, Lloyd and Duursma at 6)
2. J Clarke into Naish ( would need to go early but only really need him playing this week)
3. Setters into premo or Corbett into 420kish F5 with Burgess sitting at F6 till round 14 upgrade.
TU: Sounds like a plan
TD: Reconsider
L. Whitfield, J.Clarke,J. Petruccelle > D.Rich,L.Ryan,R.Gardner
Regardless of the bye
2,700K left in the bank.
Don’t trade Rich in this week, has the bye
regardless of the bye
12 trades left.
Lobb for Darling based on more consistency and the fact that Lobb DPP and I can use as ruck cover if Gawn/Goldy (Bines) miss.
T/U – good trade.
T/D – unnecessary and wasteful.
Lobb is out indefinitely.
Lobb recently injured and out for most of the season
Not sure if this is suggesting trade OUT darling and IN lobb? Rory Lobb is out with stress fractures for an extended period…
Even if he wasn’t hurt, I think you’d have better trades to make with only 12 left.
Lloyd, Williams, Laird, Smith, Hore, Duursma, B: Clark, Answerth
Neale, Fyfe, Macrae, Cripps, Cognilio, B Crouch, Walsh, Liberatore, B: Baker, Hately, Scott
Grundy, Gawn B: Bines
Kelly, Boak, Dangerfield, Westhoff, Settersfield, Corbett B: Young Burgess
137k and 19 trades – Below assuming Naish and Garder are named…
Out Noah Answerth Jordan Clark Joshua Corbett
In Patrick Naish Ryan Gardner Josh Dunkley
TU Looks good
T/D Rethink
Otherwise is this a better idea?
In Luke Ryan, Ryan Gardner
Out Jordan Clark Joshua Corbett
Cheers.
One final option..
In Ryan Gardner, Brett Bewley, Josh Dunkley
Out Jordan Clark, Bailey Scott, Joshua Corbett
Or is Scott a waste of a trade?
Brought in Laird and Caleb Daniel last week (worked for my bye structure).
Will go 2 down, 1 up this week and then 2 up next week. Leaves me with 10 trades and Hore at D6 and Walsh at M8 who have more cash to make. I play for league so happy to max them out before upgrading.
RD13
Out: Clark, Answerth, Atkins
In: Naish, Bewley, Luke Ryan / Sicily
Will give me 18 players.
RD14
Out: Baker, Duursma
In: Boak, Luke Ryan / Sicily
Gday guys, I’ve stuffed up my cash gen big time this season, meaning I’ll have to settle for a few less than ideal compromises to complete my team. If I want injury trades at the back end of the season, I’m gonna have to either keep Hore at D6 or Walsh at M8. Atm my options are: bring in Brayshaw cheap in the hope that he turns it around (shown some good signs past couple of games) and keep him at M8, with Hore at D6, or keep Walsh at M8 and upgrade Hore to Whitfield when he comes back. Keep in mind, Hore > Whitfield would mean I field both Hore and Walsh for longer and risk them scoring lower than what a premo might. Plus there’s the risk that Whitfield might be back later than expected.
TU: Hore > Whitfield (Walsh at M8)
TD: Walsh > Brayshaw (Hore at D6)
Hey, Max. Have you considered not touching either of them? Options you’ve laid out aren’t that enticing.
If you already have Hurn and Lloyd (with most people trading out Whitfield), I’d be leaving Hore at D6. He’s scoring really well and will continue to make money, so I’d leave him for now. Probably not worth trading him to a defender who is only averaging 13 points~ more than him at this stage.
As for your Walsh/Brayshaw conundrum, I honestly think Walsh is going to outscore Brayshaw for at least the next month. Carlton have a string of games where they’ll hope to be competitive (Dogs, Freo, Dees, Swans & Suns) and keeping Walsh in the middle is going to be fundamental to that. Issue with Brayshaw is he only scores well when he’s played on the ball, as opposed to the wing, and the issue becomes will be able to secure that role? Whereas Walsh is always right in the guts.
Because of Cripps’ 194, a lot of people are forgetting just how good Walsh’s game was against Brisbane: 23 kicks to 9 handballs (amazing for SC), 81% DE, 14 CP’s and 12 marks. The only case to trade Walsh would be to an uber premo you don’t yet have, like Neale or J. Kelly.
Hey mate,
Cheers for the reply. Yeah I guess that makes more sense. Just feels a little weird to still have two ‘rookies’ onfield in a completed team, but you’re right, they’re both scoring well enough to be keepers atm. My worry with Walsh is that cos he’s a teenager, he’ll begin to tire towards season’s end. And IIRC he had a run of six games before the Brisbane game where he didn’t ton up. Not ideal from a keeper, but I guess he’s still averaging 90. Will assess how he goes the next few games, hopefully he keeps scoring well.
Regarding Hore, I was a little worried that the return of Lever would mean he got more of a lockdown role, but he still seems to be taking plenty of kicks ins and floating across packs as that spare defender. Fingers crossed he keeps it up. His great scoring is the reason why Whitfield is the only one I would consider upgrading him to, as it wouldn’t really be worth cashing him in for a bloke that only scores 10 more than him each game, whereas we know how big Whitfield can go.
In saying that though, you make complete sense with that assessment, and maybe I’ll turn my attention to turning Walsh into Jelly, as not having him these past few weeks has really killed me. Cheers again!
Np, Max. Happy to help.
Can I have a suggestion for a defender under 480k?
Thinking between: Weller – Blakely – Johannisen
Blakely or JJ
Both have already had their byes.
Only playing for league. Have a relatively easy match up this week, so tossing up two options:
TU: Clark/Constable/Moore > Sicily/Fyfe/Bewley (Field 19 if everyone plays, lose $ on Corbett/Balta but bank their points, $90.4k bank)
TD: Corbett/Balta/Clark > Bewley/Fyfe/Gardner (Field 17 if everyone plays, lower score, but avoid $ loss and leave $283.5k bank for upgrades next week)
Stuck with whether to hold Hore as D6 or not. I currently have a defence of Hurn, Laird, Lloyd, Williams, Hore, Duursma
I can either trade out Hore this week and bring in Ryan, then later trade out Duursma to Sicily/Houli/etc or hold Horeas D6 and next week go Duursma to Ryan.
T/U – Hore to Ryan
T/D – hold Hore for now, Answerth/Corbett to Naish (if named)
Clarke to Naish
Hayes to Clarke
Baker to Dunkley
Leaves me with a full premo forward and 52k to upgrade Goldy to Gawn next week
TU: yes
TD: no
This guy’s broken the system. Absolute bargain upgrading Goldy to Gawn for 52k haha
hahaha nah 52k in the bank I meant plus the fee to go from Goldy to Gawn
Oh right fair call haha
Trades this week are Atkins to Naish via Duursma, Balta to Dunks leaving me with full premo fwd & Defence with Walsh and Duursma occupying the last midfield spots. May also trade answerth if i can’t get 18 on the park.
Should i trade ainsworth, clark, stocker > Clark, Nash, Dunkley & field 18
OR
balta, ainsworth, clark > Dunkley, Sicily, Nash & field 15 & take loss?
TU for top
TD for bottom
Looking to upgrade Liam Baker to either Dunkley or C. Daniel and downgrade Clark, but I’m not sure who to downgrade Clark to. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Who will score more out off Setters and Parker?
TU: Matty Parker against GC (80+ last time)
TD: Setters against Bulldogs
So Liam Stocker is estimated to return 3-4 weeks on the afl injury page
TU: Trade him out
TD: Hold
It was asked earlier. If you don’t have Bewley and he’s named, it’s a no-brainer.
You’d think he’ll need a game or two in the VFL when fit to be AFL-ready again. That’s too long to wait.
I’ve re-adjusted my bye strategy. Grundy with the giant BE is not as big of a priority to bring in during the bye rounds, can wait for the week after.
Balta > Boak
Answerth > Bewley
This will leave me with 1 spot to upgrade in my MID/FWD lines.
Grundy plays the Bulldogs next week – he could well make that BE. Even if he doesn’t, you’ll almost certainly be missing out on a monster score.
I have pondered the same thought 100 times. We’ll see how I feel come teams this week.
Bang. I forgot that Stack had a low BE. Any marginal increase will make:
Stack > Oliver
Goldstein > Grundy
A reality.
I’m toying with the same strategy….with Gawn/Goldy/Rob(provided he’s not dropped), I have two rucks each round. Could hold off bringing in Grundy for a week, but even with that be, he could go 150 v dogs. Hate to hold off and lose leagues by narrow margins. The decision will probably come down to the look of oppt teams.
TU Dylan Clarke
TD Bewley
I went TD but IF Clarke holds his spot with Shiel, Stringer and Orazio back, you’d think he’ll hold his spot. Woosha won’t commit right now …
As a bombers fan, I totally agree. If Clarke selected, it will be ahead of a Langford/Guelfi/Laverde…he really looks a long term prospect.
Scrimshaw, Whitfield,M. Parker > Sicily , Gardner, Walters
Thoughts on Rowan Marshall?
Neither B Scott or Answerth will be playing this week, so I will be trading out one or the other.
TU – Trade B Scott : can’t see him getting a game any time soon
TD – Trade Answerth : Av 54, BE 37 – can hold a little longer
Obviously trading out Answerth gives me an extra $64,200 for R14
Out: Hayes, Balta, Clark
IN
TU: Bewley, Hawkins, Blakely
TD: Bewley, Daniel, Stewart
Alternate Poll in reply
Instead of above
Out: B.Smith Balta Scott
In: Boak L.Ryan Bewley
B.Scott* that should say
Can L Weller average top 6 Def for remainder of season?
T/U yes
T/D no
Top8 is more realistic
Who to bring in as F6:
TU: Marshall
TD: Gray + $55k
Answerth > Gardener
Scott > Bewley
Clark > Fyfe
J Clark > Naish
B Scott > Bewley
Moore > Boak
TU yes
TD no
If Naish is named, looks good.
Hi all,
Def:
Lloyd, Laird, Whitfield, Hore, Smith, Duursma, (Answorth, Clark )
Mid:
J Kelly, Fyfe, Macrae, Cripps, B Crouch, Rocky, Walsh, Dangerfield, (hately, B Scott, Gibbons)
Ruck:
Grundy, Gawn (Z clarke)
Fwds:
T Kelly, Dunkley, Greene, Baker, Moore, setterfield, (corbett, young)
I have 18 trades and 90k INB.
I am considering Moore to Boak, J Clark to Gardiner or Naish.
Then possible Scott to Bewley….or even trading Whitfield to Ryan or Sicily.
Is everyone sure of trading Whit? Any reason to hold?
Anyone have suggestions for my team?
Johnnyboy….
Moore to Boak and Clarke to Gardner/Naish (if they’re selected) sounds good.
I’d definitely be moving Whitfield into Sicily or Ryan! Whitfield could be out for…..the great GWS unknown?
By the way, with 18 trades in hand ou can afford 1 or 2 corrective trades if need be.
Thanks Brad. Appreciate it. Thoughts on Sicily or ryan?
I’ve always been a fan of Ryan as a player. He’s superb to watch. Hence, he’s in my team. I’ll be bringing in Sicily aswell this round or next. If you’re plan is to evenatully have them both (which would be a very good plan) I’d say take your pick with whatever suits your trades this week. Both will end up top 6 DEF.
Great advice. Thank you.
Which one would you guys get??
TU: Michael Walters
TD: Caleb Daniel
Two of them have greats stats
Depends if you have Dunkley i think. I have him so would prefer to have Walters instead of 2 members of the same attacking line
Johnnyboy.
Daniel is playing in defence.
I love Sonny Walters but he has a shocking injury history.
My heart goes Walters, if you have the trades I would risk it as he has a much higher ceiling.
My head ( boring I know) would go Daniel. He has been great this year and although unlikely to go big, rarely goes under 90.
Best of luck who ever you choose.
Hey guys thanks for the input
So i decided to get Boak instead i just realize i can afford him for my forward line he seems like a right choice.
So i traded out Whitfield, Scrimshaw, Petruccelle > J.Sicily , Gardner , T.Boak
two good players that has history to score 100 or more plus a decent rookie to cover defend in the bye rounds.
Solid trades Timmy.
Hmmmmm……Kelly and Dangerfield ring any bells????
I already have them
I think he is ( Alf Art ) commenting on having two players on the same team in your forward line.
I’m not sure the Doggies have the same scoring power as Geelong.
The Cats could end up with 3 forwards ( add in Hawkins) in the top 6/8 forwards for the Year.
I was thanks FT.
I gotta type faster.
A forward line with Kelly, Dangerfield, Dunkley and Daniel would be good too, and you could raffle the other spots.
Walters dpp swings it for me.
Yeah thanks for telling me this i got Walters so i could his DPP when trading other players
It can be quite frustrating reversing trades during the byes because you have to move all those blue dots to the bench again. Here is a tip.
I have been trying to chose between Ryan and Sicily to bring in for Crisp. I do the Crisp to Ryan trade. Now I change my mind. No need to reverse trades. Just trade Ryan to Sicily. You don’t burn another trade.
Nice one. Thanks. Those freakin dots (even more so last week)!!
With Pearce out I am leaning Ryan. But then again he is 30k more expensive. How have you made your decision? I’ll probably get both later on but getting one now
Ryan has the higher ceiling. Just worried with Pierce out his role might change. Might still get him later, just would like to watch him for the next couple of weeks.
Cotchin out for the tigers.
Ping??
Yeh the hamstring. Just precautionary on the short break. Should be back next week.
Quick one. What FWD & DEF combo to go with?
TU: Daniel & Ryan
TD: Boak & Sicily
12 trades left, team as follows:
DEF – Laird, Ryan, Lloyd, Williams, B Smith, Hore (Duursma, Answerth)
MID – Fyfe, Cripps, Oliver, Macrae, B Crouch, O’Meara, Rockliff, Sloane (Hayes, O Baker, Walsh)
R – Gawn, Goldstein (Bines)
FWD – Dangerfield, Kelly, Heeney, Darling, Billings, L Baker (Gardner, Young)
T/U – Darling, B Smith, Hayes —–> Boak, Sicily, Bewley.
T/D – Bad idea.
Comment – if you see something I am missing.
used way too many trades … omg we r only half way thru .. don’t tell me there wont be plenty more injuries and players having early medical procedures
Who to trade in:
T/up – Josh Corbett –> Caleb Daniel
T/down – Josh Corbett –> Jack Ziebell (since Higgins is out and he’s a POD)
Comment – Callum Wilkie –> Sicily (or pick him up next week)
If you’ve got the funds for Sicily get him in now. He’s had his bye.
Hope everyone remembers the round starts Thursday…cant reverse after that.
Cant decide between these two:
T/up – Sicily
T/down – Daniel
All this Sicily talk has got me thinking, am I the only one who has a No Dickheads rule? ;D
Haha. I can’t comment on that until you list your team.
High scoring dickheads are good.
Best MID under $600k besides Neale, Cripps and Macrae??
What’s happening with Rampe? Is he a trap?
$505k with a 129 3rd average..
Has he changed roles with someone? Lloyd hasn’t been affected at all..
He does this occasionally. Try not to get sucked in! Decent draft option though.
Should I…
T/U – Grab Hopper with $110k for upgrades next week
T/D – Go for a Zerret/Bont and $20k itb
Naish has kept a spot on the interchange
Have Dunk, Daniel and Macrae and looking at JJ
Is 4 players from the same team too much
TU/ yes
TU/no
Doesnt matter at this time of year
Trading Clark + Balta -> Naish + Gray
Tossing up 3rd trade of Answerth ->
TU – Zeibell
TD – Marshall
Comment – Take Gardner instead of Naish, and Daniel for Answerth?
Upgrade time
T/U: Atkins, Balta -> Bewley, Boak
T/D: Gibbons, Balta, Setterfield -> Gardner, Bewley, J,Kelly
TU: Ryan/Gray
TD: Sicily/Marshall
Currently leaning towards sicily/Marshall as the safer option
Hey guys,
T/U- Marshall
T/D- Daniel
Thanks.
Really wanna trade balta but depending on my rookies if there named might have to keep the dud lol to try field 18 players then trade him next week
I already posted about this but need your opinions plz guys..
Need to bring in Sicily this week . I can trade out Hore who has the bye or Brodie Smith. If i chose smith, I may not be able to field 18 this week.
Who do i trade out?
TU- Hore
TD- Smith
If you trade out Hore, who will be your D6 AFTER the byes?
Is there a trade on another line that you like that could give you 18 on field this week?
The reason I ask these questions is that, last year I made a trade in the byes simply to get 18 onfield for one of the byes. The consequences for my team’s overall strategy were bad and enduring. I never quite recovered and ran out of trades trying to repair the damage.
Short answer: sometimes it’s worth taking a donut to retain focus on your long-term plan.
My defence currently sits;
Lloyd, Hurn, Houli,
Williams, Hore, Smith
Sicily to come in for either hore/smith
Whitfield to come in for either hore/smith…once he is back.
I have Duursma as my d7 who I am looking to trade in the coming weeks also.
Trade Hore then if you’re happy to. Smith SHOULD bounce back as he’s currently underpriced. Good luck!
So basically if i decide to trade hore this week,
I will have to keep Smith/Duursma as my D6 until Whtifield comes back into my side.
My only concern is Smith will possibly drop below 400k soon.
Clark-Naish, whitfield-Sicily and D Moore-Dunckley
Thumbs up – yes
or
Thumbs down – No
Cheers
Hey guys. Looking to get Sheed out of my team this week. Who to upgrade to:
TU – Bont (get the next two weeks of him playing)
TD – Cunnington (misses next week and could get Deboered this week but I like him a lot more – have 20 playing next week already)
Cheers cobs
Last forward spot:
TU: C Daniel and 70,000
TD: J Dunkley
Other fwds: Danger, T Kelly, I Heeney, J Westhoff and R Gray.
Daniel’s cash will be extremely beneficial in the latter half helping with future trades but Dunkley possess the higher ceiling and potential for higher avg for the remainder of the season.
Which is better:
TU: Bring in Fyfe, Sicily & Naish
TD: Bring in Boak, Ryan & Naish
TU: Boak & JJ (Dogs)
TD: Daniel & Ryan
One Premo short in FWD and MIDFIELD.
Which move first?
T/U : Baker to Boak
Or
T/D : Stack to Fyfe
T/U – Bont
T/D – Zerret
Would would you go for?
TU: Boak
TD: Walter
My guts say Walter cause he has dual position which is helpful
I’ve been considering Sonny as well but in his last five games he’s had two tons and he kicked the winning score in both of those games. Not sure how much of a bonus he got but something to consider. He won’t kick the sealer every week.
Like many I punted Dunkley after a lower than anticipated first month of footy and he’s now setting the world alight proving me to be a mug.
TU – Bite the bullet, swallow my pride and get him back into the team this week off his bye.
TD – Mr Magnets might’ve concocted something in his week off. Buyer beware. Stay away.
Think I know the answer to this one but I just need some positive affirmation that I should get Dunkley back in.
Follow up for my 2nd upgrade is:
TU – Boak
TD – Daniel
Out = Answerth, Clark, Balta
In = TU – Fyfe, Gardner, Naish
TD – Gray, Naish, Marshall/Zeibell/Daniel
Thanks
Thoughts on:
Lockhart – JJ
Stocker – Naish
Setterfield-RGray
TU – Yes
TD – No
TU: J.Scrimshaw, Whitfield , Walsh > J.Sicily, R.Gardner, N.Fyfe
TD: SAVE WALSH FOR NOW!
He scored 140 last week. Why would you trade him?!?!?!?! At the absolute least maybe give him one nore week and trade him at his bye.
T/U- Whitfield, Scrimshaw, Balta -> Boak, Sicily, Bewley
T/D – Scrimshaw, Answerth, Corbett -> Naish, Sicily, Gardner
14 trades left. Going overall, not sure if should trade or hold Whitfield whilst injured.
Trade Hoare Moore and Ross for Naish Fyfe and Boak ?
Jack Steele is out for those that have him. Dislocated his kneecap.
Out -> Jordan Clark, Matty Parker, Will Setterfield
In -> Gardner, Sicily & Robbie Gray
17k left, 11 Trades
T/U – Good Move
T/D – Think again
Out = Answorth – Stocker – Balta
In = Niash – Bewley – Boak
Yes = TU
No = TD
Who to bring in first as a final fwd.
TU Dunkley 556k b/e 82
TD Marshall 462k b/e 60
Will go with 2 downgrades.
I’m in the same boat, Tommy.
If Dunkley is named as a follower/on the ball tonight, I’ll be going with him. If not, Marshall’s in.
GD it’s a tricky one. Averages very similar yet the huge price difference is significant. Dunkley with the higher ceiling when in the middle yet Marshall with his HOs very valuable…thinking I’ll go with Marshall based on no competition for his position and wait another week on Dunkley who won’t raise in price too much.
Thumbs UP. James Sicily
Thumbs Down Luke Ryan
T/U: Atkins, Scott -> Cunnington, Gardner
T/D: Atkins -> Boak
