The only way for me to get Fyfe off field is to trade in Riley Garcia (WB – $125,200 FWD – 82 points & 64 – versus Haw @ Marvel) instead of Jake Rogers (GC – $148,400 MID – 28 points & 98 – versus Bris @ Gabba).
And then play Riley Garcia instead of getting Fyfe’s sub affected score.
Think Rogers job security is better than Garcia, but Garcia has been in the system for 2 to 3 years (so looks ready for AFL) – and there is the Bevo factor
t/u – trade in Rogers & take Fyfe’s sub affected score
t/d – trade in Garcia & take his score (move Fyfe to bench)
Cooper Simpson looked good last week – speedy forward who applies pressure & uses the ball well
But obviously he has only played 1 x game – and he was the sub for that game
And Fyfe will come back in for a full game next week
So this is a tough call – I’d be inclined to take Fyfe’s sub affected score unless you really need an extra say 15 to 40 points for an important league win
1441/15
Projected 2142 and only Serong in this game, so expecting a bump on 84 already.
Traded Grundy out thinking he’d score 100 and Green in for a 5………….
Wilson on bench but could not loop a single rookie this week.
VC was on Sheezel and C on Gawn
Williams got subbed and will be traded to Petracca probably.
Miller, Zorko, Flanders, Bont, Graham and Darcy to come
NO LATE CHANGES
SUBSTITUTES
Richmond: Kamdyn McIntosh
Fremantle: Nat Fyfe
Fyfe being sub will raise some eyebrows and/or anxiety.
Would you consider putting R. Garcia on field instead ?
That’s what I am doing! Thankfully I can loop Fyfe and Garcia using Sexton.
Can’t loop, so 1 or the other. Guess you gotta trust Garcia

But what if Garcia WB is then the sub??
Riley Garcia is named on the field, so my understanding is that the WB cannot make him the sub?
Can anyone please confirm this?
BMH,the sub can be any player named.
A onfield player was recently named sub
Thanks CT
With Rhylee West & Cody Weightman both out this week, surely Garcia plays that high half forward / forward pocket role in their place
As you say, Bevo can make some strange calls though 🙂
Definitely not sure on Garcia’s job security though – but he should go OK today against the Hawks (if he is not the sub)
Will keep all fingers & toes crossed !!
Pulled the pin – reversed the J Rogers in trade, traded in Garcia instead and moved Fyfe to mid bench. Lets hope it doesn’t bite me on the butt.
Who was the player NATO? Never seen an onfield player be named sub. Always a bench player
Astute response Lisa, as all know Bevo could just do that as he has indicated before that with Libba playing Garcia is a sub candidate.
Sorry Nato – question should have been directed to CT… Too many reds for orthodox Easter!!
I would, but have Garcia in mid and Fyfe forward
I can take Lefau’s 63 – TU or
Roll the dice with Fyfe as sub – TD
Lefau hasn’t played yet?
Apologies, I’m on my phone and the SC plus was switched off without me realizing it.
Tempted to go Serong as Captain:
T/U: Yay
T/D: Nah, go Bont instead
No cover. Do I swap Rogers (who I traded in this week) to Simpson to get Fyfe off field?
TU: Yes
TD: No – Take whatever score Fyfe puts out
Do you already have Riley Garcia?
If not, maybe consider swapping your “trade in target” from Rogers to Garcia
Or does your swap in target need to be a MID?
Already have R.Garcia who is currently sitting at F6. I’ve got Biggie and Livingstone (both locked out) sitting on my bench.
Cooper Simpson looked good last week – speedy forward who applies pressure & uses the ball well
But obviously he has only played 1 x game – and he was the sub for that game
And Fyfe will come back in for a full game next week

Alex Sexton named on field in their VFL game starting now vs Brisbane.
Is he a loop option for Fyfe? if you have him.
This round can just get in the bin.
I agree I cannot wait for this round to end, even though I don’t own Fyfe.
Yay I avoid Fyfe carnage!
Best we show some class and contain our excitement, Nato…
Nar it’s glorious
Lol.
I trade Grundy out for Green and have Wilson on the bench. I don’t want more
I have no issue with the happiness – i missed it completely – such is this game LOL
You gotta enjoy the breaks when you get em!
Originally brought in Bont this week, do I reverse him to get Shai Bolton and work some dpp magic to avoid Fyfes sub score?
Tu: hold Bont and take the hit
Td: go for it
Hope you didn’t go Bolton. -1 halfway thru 2nd
Let’s go Young ,Sharp and Serong
I want a minimum 200 from you all
Gods keep smiling
You are doomed now after invoking the Gods.
They must have been pretty happy with me then.
I haven’t been struck by lightning yet after crashing back to earth……
If we decide to keep Fyfe be prepared to do this every 3weeks approximately.
We were told preseason this was going to happen……..
it makes sense and should have seen it coming, Fremantle are playing Friday night next week, only a 5 day turn-around
Young, Jackson and Ryan. Resurrect me on Orthodox Easter.
Young and Jackson probably could………
don’t mind the Jackson and Young call, but we are h2h in LoEC1 and it is Serong vs Ryan contest
TU: reverse buku back in and trade Fyfe
Td: take the hit and hold Fyfe as we don’t have many fwd options this year
So I learnt today that lockout happens at programmed game time 12.30, not actual game start 12.33?
I noticed that last night
Won’t be timing my trades with Kayo in future…
Hope no one has Bolton in their team on -4 at 1/4 time
Rookie Simpson still on 0
Most premos are firing
Sharp on bench in midfield and Fyfe on field in fwd line. Living the dream! Lol
Wishful thinking but if Fyfe doesn’t play any game time I will get Wilson’s 126.
Wouldn’t that be a nice outcome
Fremantle still being very conservative with Young, only 62% TOG in the first half
He’s on fire young in the 3rd
Ryan already cracked the tonne at half time.
Cooper Simpson a dead downgrade target on 0 at half time
How’s your weekend looking spud? Much carnage? My overall is cooked but should still win some leagues this week
1441/15
Projected 2142 and only Serong in this game, so expecting a bump on 84 already.
Traded Grundy out thinking he’d score 100 and Green in for a 5………….
Wilson on bench but could not loop a single rookie this week.
VC was on Sheezel and C on Gawn
Williams got subbed and will be traded to Petracca probably.
Miller, Zorko, Flanders, Bont, Graham and Darcy to come
Could have been a lot worse
Sean Darcy subbed
Fyfe on 6 minutes left in the 3rd
Richmond reacted by subbing Naismith
Subbed due to calf tightness
Wow. Fyfe coming on for Darcy. Jackson solo.
i think they said ‘calf tightness’ for Darcy
Ryan putting on an exhibition. Not bad for a bloke who can’t kick more than 40 meters
Naismith subbed
48% of coaches with Fyfe, 93% on the field.
Ryan off tap.
Gave him a fleeting mention in brackets in captains this week but this is unreal.
Wrapt. Off to Dogs Hawks we go.
Is Shai Bolton injured
