  1. Ablett>Pendlebury
    Devon>Cloke
    Both of the star pies have bottomed out it seems and it will secure my forward line with 7 premiums to avoid any reoccurrences of a 17 (Smith) and 3 (Smedts) like I had this round.

  2. Joelwood – Pendles is a move of a desperate man…..

    But with Gaz out and my opponent not having Selwood and me being 1-2 it might be too hard to resist

  4. Devon Smith is done in my forward line I think. Will get either Pfeiffer (Port) or Crisp (Bris). Not sure if there are any upgrades I want to do. If Porplyzia misses again, I’ll probably use the cash to upgrade him to Beams. Only used the 2 trades so far and want to keep moving up the rankings!

  5. With Selwood and Ablett on the bench this week and my opponent not having Selwood I’m thinking Kennedy gws (if not named) and Ellis out for Wilkes and Pendles? I am 1-2 in my league with 20 trades.Thumbs up good idea thumbs down not

  6. Im having massive issues with my team and 2 trades per week just isnt enough to be able to repair it. I currently have Shaw, Ablett, Mumford, all sitting on the pine and this week Selwood will be joining them. I want to move Mumford on but I just dont know who to. Sandi worries me with injury, Cox’s scores arnt very impressive. The only ruckman that is really firing at the moment is Nic Nat. But with Giles doing the job is it worth getting a premium ruckman? I dont know of any other rookie rucks getting consistant games to downgrade to. Have 470k in the bank so dollars arnt the issue. I also wanted to try and get Pendles in this week before he starts to jump up again in price but I need to try and fill holes in my backline. My team is:

    Deledio Goddard Lake Bugg Morris Mohr Paine
    Shaw Darley

    Selwood Hayes Judd Magner Mcdonald Shiel
    Ablett Kennedy

    Kreuzer Giles
    Mumford Redden

    Franklin Pavlich Martin Fyfe Treloar Pfeiffer Smedts
    Hall Couch

    My team is a shambles and I dont know what to do. Anyone have any suggestions?

  7. Anyone keeping a hold of Fyfe? I was at the game on Fri night and every Blues player he ran past mad sure they reminded him of his shoulder with a bump as he went by. He was in obvious pain for most of the game, best time to upgrade to pendles??

  8. This week i got the worse score I think i have ever scored in supercoach! 1791!
    Need some serious moves to be made. Had big C on Mitchell! 55!! when was the last time he scored that badly!?? Malceski subbed off at half time. Smetdts on ground for 3. Porps late out giving me D Smith 17. Ablett and Sandi on pine along with C Dempsey and Bower.
    This weekend not looking any better with potential that these guys will all be out – Dempsey, Bower, Malceski, Ablett, Sandi and Porp.

    Kreuzer horrible last two weeks! He scoring worse than most ruckman right now.

    Not sure what to do…

  9. So I’ve had Milne since the start of the year and I’ve been kicking myself ever since that decision.
    I have 170k in the bank and need a good replacement. Thoughts?

    Maybe even a downgrade to a cash cow coz I’m hoping to get pendles on the next few weeks before he goes up too much

  10. i still have fife but his brake even is 126 do i keep him because i could get a much better player who doesnt have a bad shoulder that would affect his game?
    if i trade him i think i should get Mcdonald or Kyal Horsley?
    thumbs up keep fife thumbs down trade before he is very cheap?

  11. One target for me this week… Dahlhaus. I’l manipulate my rookies this week based on the team sheets.
    D.Smith is on my chopping block, though I am considering keeping him, simply because he’s yet to make enough $, and he’s getting games. Also, he got 11 touches once coming on as sub… Inefficiency and clangers killed his score.
    Once that nasty 17 is out of his system, he should be able to hit 300 K for EG.

  12. Only one trade this week and that will most likely be D.Smith for Adams to get some cash in for some upgrades in a few weeks time or maybe next week to Pendles or Kennedy or Swan or Rockliffe or………………….

  13. Hale sitting on the pine as i have more confidence in Giles cannot go on so he will be lucky to survive the week. His price is on the way down & my original plan to move him into the forwards is not looking feasible as a) Sam Rowe does not look close & Redden also not great cover incase Cox & Giles go down and b) Hale is not looking in the 80 to the odd ton sort of form i had hoped for.

  14. Hi guys. I have a new thread to suggest. How to maximize your cash cows.

    I know we are still a couple of weeks from cashing them in but it might be worth thinking about our options.

    This is my approach.

    Step 1 – decide who to cash and who to keep. For me giles is a keeper, old mac is a cow.

    Step 2 – know your target. There are 2 options. Premium that has bottomed out or a mid that is injured and ready to come back. (Thinking varcoe here)

    Step 3 timing. When will the cow be ready vs the trade up option. Do the planets align?

    Interested in your thoughts.

  15. Hmmm thinking D Smith to A Christensen this week whilst perma Capt & Selwood are using up the pine

    Thumbs up – Do it

  16. Eating to get pendleberry, thinking of either swapping coniglio for him or coniglio for pfiffer an make some more cash. Any advice

  17. Still got Carrazzo on my bench (tactical trading to get McDonald & Pendles last week meant I had to keep him) and 126k in the bank.

    No real attractive defenders at the moment – my only consideration might be Carrazzo to Scotland. Dickson in the forward line is murdering me, so perhaps I might just sideways trade him to Pfeiffer.

  18. Just a sneaky suspicion that Fyfe judd and kreuzer might be rested this week….

    I’m thinking of upgrading smith to either Martin or zaha as they have both bottomed out after this weeks scores.
    Dempsey to adcock if he’s not playing this week.

    Magner to horsley could be a Possibility next week, although he looks indestructible the magnet, copped a couple of big hits and gets right up.

  19. Lots of trade down targets coming in the next few weeks you’d feel with the Lions yet to blood many rookies and a few of them coming back from injury and dominating the reserves. Looking to add Rockliff and Kennedy as two possible upgrades in the midfield but neither look like bottoming out anytime soon.

    Pfeiffer would be a handy get for those of us who opted out on Treloar and got burned by the other Kennedy over the weekend. Devon Smith would probably be the one to go this week if I had to make a trade though.

    Will keep Fyfe until he’s completely gone and Pavlich has yet to fire a decent shot but hopefully Lyon releases him into the midfield for longer spells so he can get his hands on it.

  20. Looking for an upgrade target in the forward line. Zaha or Dahlhaus?

    Thumbs up – Dahlhaus

    Thumbs down – Zaharakis

  21. Thinking either downgrading Heath shaw or fyfe then upgrading d smith to pendles.
    Only thing is that it dries up my dpp. Could upgrade magnet also.

  22. Holding on to Devon Smith for now. Still has money to make and seems to be a good downgrade to Zorko in a few weeks

  25. hey fella’s, need a bit of a chop-out here.

    got 2 donuts in the backline this week, Yarran/Dempsey, with Carrazzo on the bench (couldnt trade him out yet)

    I’ve got about 900K in the kitty, and alotta trades.
    need 2 solid defenders.

    Options are Scotland, Suckling, Rance.
    (anyone else who thinks there’s a better option)
    I’ll get Goddard in the next few weeks when his price drops again.

    thoughts??

  26. Not sure what to do here, not liking the look of smiths BE, got enough cash to upgrade smith to a premium in the forwards or backs (Via Smedts) under $500K, but unsure if there are any decent ones who will be keepers. Lots with low prices are tempting, but they are at those prices because they aren’t been performing so far this season.

    Thumbs up: Traded him out for a premium (could you comment any suggestions?)

    Thumbs down: Don’t trade him

  27. Bad week last week. This week upgrading two rookies. Caddy to Pendles and Smith to one of these:

    Sidebottom – Thumbs Up
    Dahlhaus – Thumbs Down
    Riewoldt or Hawkins – Comment

  28. So far, just the Carrots >> Pendles upgrade. Might look at bringing in Michelle, but don’t really want to trade Magner, JMc, Milera or AKennedy. Crapps now has a 72 in his system so could rise some more, plus DSmith will get more game time and should get close to $300k at some point.

  29. porplyliza $80k increase Jack Riewoldt $83k decrease porpas has peaked and riewoldt has bottomed out lots of upside for riewoldt could be the trade of the week

  31. 22 trades left. I’ve got 265K in the bank and I’m thinking about using 1 trade this week. Midfield and rucks looking alright so I think I’m leaning towards fwd or back.

    Thumbs up: Ellis into Enright
    Thumbs down: Kennedy into Zaharakis

  32. Do I either downgrade Devon Smith to Pfeiffer this week, so I can definitely get GAJ in next week IF he plays… orrr I can upgrade to Sidebottom this week, leaving me with nothing in the kitty, so I will have to wait 2 weeks before I can bring in the little Master.

    Pfeiffer (and GAJ next week) – Thumbs Up
    Sidebottom (and GAJ in 2 weeks) – Thumbs Down

  33. 1: Stanley- Dangerfield/Zaha
    2: Porplyzia- Darling

    Will go ahead with trade 1, but still not sure on number 2. If Porpoise gets named this week the likelihood is that I will keep him, because his break-even still low.

    Thumbs up/down?

  34. Todd Goldstein had a monster game in the VFL this weekend…
    Hopefully this form translates into the big league, by the time he bottoms out he could be an ideal upgrade (possibly even a downgrade price-wise..?) for the so-far sensational Giles.

  35. Hey Motts, do you reckon we could have a poll for the options for trading out Devon Smith. I know you don’t waste your polls but I think lots of people need help on this one! Cheers

  36. Magner- Pffeifer
    Stanley- Josh Kennedy (Sydney)

    To complete my midfield of
    Gaz, Pendles, Selwood, Murphy, Rockliff, Kennedy
    (Shiel, Mcdonald)

    Too early to get rid of Magner? Question marks on Pffeifer’s job security? Work on other depleted lines? Is it too much to have 6/12 true premiums in the guts? Or is it good because this is where the main scoring happens.

    Ill leave all these questions to SCT

    Thumbs up- Complete the ripper midfield Maxi- Kennedy’s underpriced!

    Thumbs down- Work on the forwards and backs which are woeful.

  37. Cant quite afford pendels, so was thinking;
    Out Dempsey and D Smith
    Move Smedts from fwd to back
    In D.Zorko and J Kennedy

    Thumbs up, do it, Zorko will be a star!
    Thumbs down, whats a Zorko?

  38. Has the carnage of the last two rounds finished or are we set for another head in hand weekend with late withdrawals.

    Already i’ve heard rumours of Judd and Murphy possibly being rested against GWS and Chris Scott saying they’ll take a conservative approach with Selwood against Melbourne given the recent knocks to the head…….sounds like ‘general soreness’ to me!

  39. Fyfe out for? Lewis, Hawkins, Roughy, Beams, Boomer, Goodes
    Kenedy for Pfiefer

    Or I can do
    Fyfe to pfiefer and magner/shiel to Pendles however i already have 5 prems in the mids so probs wont do this trade.

  40. If as they say is true about Fyfe and his op and rumour has it that 211’s knee/calf is a little worse than FURL is letting on then how would this sound for a trade
    Sandilands-> Nic Nat/Hamish
    Fyfe->Pendles/Swan/Kennedy.
    A good injury trade? Which combo would would you go. I am preferable to the NicNat/Swan combo myself.

    0

    0
  41. What do we think of Fyfe?
    Who would be best to swap for him? Lewis, Sidebottom, Or even Zaharkis or Fyfe’s skip Pavlich < Dropped almost 100k. Have to improve now Fyfe's gone…right?
    Porpyzia and Adam Kennedy… News??

  42. Ablett ruled out this week, Sandilands in doubt, Kennedy out for 12 with ankle surgery and Fyfe out for 12 weeks as well with shoulder surgery – It keeps coming!

  46. Is it time to buy tickets to the Stevie J show? His stats haven’t been too bad this season although his average and price has dropped. BE of 130 this week against Melbourne which is achievable. Considering upgrading D smith for him, thoughts???

  47. Ablett could be missing another 3 weeks apparently i might think about trading him out.
    Thumbs Up: trade out bring back later
    Thumbs Down: Keep the little master

  48. Unfortunately Gaz may have to make way. Too many $$$ on the bench for 3-4 weeks.
    It will all depend on who plays and who gets ‘General’ but it’s looking like Gaz and Fyfe for Pendles and JP Kennedy for this little black duck.
    Good idea- T/Up
    Bad idea- T/Dn

  49. By the time everyone trades out the little master this week, he might be a unique pick .
    I,m going to take a punt on gazza (no trading ), that he will be ok next week fingers crossed .

  50. Not really interesting in trading Gablett. The main decision is between:

    T/U
    Mummy –> Macintosh
    Fyfe –> Pendles

    T/D
    D. Smith –> Dell’Olio
    Fyfe –> Pendles
