Whispers that Braeden Campbell wasn’t at the airport with the rest of the Swans today….
TU trade
TD hold
Freshened up for the next run up
TU: Hold this week and go F. Macrae next week
TD: Mccreery this week
Have 6 rooks on field atm (powell, gulden, warner, campbell, scott, rowe)
(bench: ksochi, highmore, berry, jordan, loophole, flynn,waterman, fullarton)
Have a feeling F.macrae can score rly well, just worried about JS if he can last until the byes or not
I’m torn with this one, need a Howe replacement….
TU – C. Mills (Syd)
TD – L. Ryan (Freo)
Thank you all, wow big support for Ryan. I was leaning towards Mills!
Getting lots of CBA’s and can pump out a big score…. may have to go with my gut on this one hhhhmmmm
Who to trade in for Clark? (Only have 508k for a defender)
TU Bowes
TD Crisp
TU Smith
TD Lever
I traded him last week to avoid a donut but I think he could back this week with Danger out
If he returns i hold 🙂
Fair chance he plays with Danger out ?
Which Combo?
TU:- Neale + Mansell
TD:- Brayshaw + Farrar
Held Butters last week, but have to trade this week:
TU: Neale (The back feels better)
TD: Steele/Lyons/Walsh (Consistently good)
Neale will probably cop the Curnow tag this week. So you may want to go to one of the other three.
Zorko vs Joel Selwood who should get lots of mid time with Danger sidelined for awhile.
TU – Selwood, can be M8 with a current avg of 105
TD – Zorko, can finish top 6 fwds with a current a average of 92.8
Comment: Brayshaw for M8
Brayshaw
Selwood is on record saying that he wont play every game
Are 3 dogs in the mids too much doggie action?
bont, macca & dunks.
Beware the byes
thanks stewy, didnt even think of that
I have two…Macrae comes in after his bye.
Can trade any back men in for J.Clarke:
T/U: Lloyd
T/D: Witherden (save $140k)
Will bring in Ridley once his price bottoms out to complete defence
Who to field? TIA
TU: Waterman
TD: Rowe
I have 23 trades. I will have one donut in defence this week (thanks to Ridley, Highmore, L Jones) or 2 donuts if Kos is dropped. Not enough money to upgrade Highmore or Kos using just the one trade, and no real defender rookie options.
TU: If Kos is out, throw caution to the wind, make 2 trades (Campbell & Kos ) for L Ryan and McCreery. Then next week when Ridley is back, I’m only relying on one onfield rookie in the backline.
TD: If Kos is in, wear the one donut, and try to improve my midfield this week, make 2 trades (Campbell & McNeil) for Walsh & McCreery
Or third option below
Third option – “save the trades, trades are gold” and do nothing this week.
TU: L Ryan
TD: Bowes
Comment – wait for LLoyd to bottom out in a few weeks
Upgrade Phillips to
TU: Macrae leaves 73k
TD Merritt leaves 140k for next upgrade
Thanks
Playing in a cash league and opponent doesn’t have Macrae or Gawn but has Grundy. Macrae been in red hot form, Gawn always safe and Grundy coming up against the dons who don’t have a ruckman. What do I do for captaincy?
T/up – Macrae into Gawn
T/down – Gawn into Grundy
Needing a downgrade for J Clark now that he’s been named in the VFL side
TU – Mansell
TD – Prior
Can only trade one out this week. Who is priority to Trade Out?
TU Braeden Campbell
TD Jordan Clark
Cheers
Hearing from a Western Australian source that W.A. could be going into lockdown putting the Freo vs North game in doubt. WA Premier Mark McGowan press conference is at 4pm AEST.
He has announced it as emergency press conference.
There is one upside if the WA game is cancelled… based on the precedent from last year SC would treat it as a bye and so Top 18 scoring would apply. That would save me (and many) from the prospect of 1 or more donuts this round!
Does it make me bad person that part of me would be pleased if this happened?
TU Yes – there are more important things than SC
TD No – anything that helps avoid SC donuts is a good thing
WA 3-day lockdown: Fremantle – North will go ahead tomorrow – but no crowd.
Bugger – see above 😉
I’m sorry to say the game is going ahead…..what rotten luck for you in our league !!! Actually, I am not sorry the game is going ahead. For those who think this might be harsh…there is a history, but all in good fun !!
Liking the idea of Brayshaw this week. I have enough to bring in Steele this week but I am thinking of holding off 1 week to get Brayshaw’s points vs North.
T/U – Bring in Brayshaw this week and Steele next week.
T/D – Bring in Steele this week and wait and see next week.
Cheers,
B321
Tossing up between doing one or two trades this week (have 23 at the moment)
TU : One trade of Campbell to McCreery for cash (to upgrade to J Macrae next week)
TD: Two trades of Campbell & McNeil to Walsh & McCreery – with $30k left ITB and no Macrae for awhile yet
Bont or Dunks vc into Gawn ??
T/u Bont
T/d Dunks
Is playing AFL footy in perth work ???
Yes, it is their livelihood and besides all AFL players, officials and club’s staff all abide by Covid 19 protocols.
I hope so, but abiding by protocols of itself may not be enough for an exemption. I guess no crowds though.
Sky news unable to get a response from WA Govt.
I’m looking to bring in one of these 2 Dees mids who have dropped a bit in value and are now sub-600K:
TU – Clayton Oliver
TD – Petracca
You can’t really go wrong with either I suppose but I’ll leave it up to the masses to help sway my opinion.
Trading out Clark and Campbell, also have 200k in the bank
T/U: McCreery and any DEF I want (Lloyd, Stewart, Ryan ETC)
T/D: Mansell and any MID I want (Steele, Fyfe, Lyons)
If Kos is not named to play on Sunday, and I want to avoid a donut –
TU: Trade out Kos
TD: Trade out L Jones (out for 4 weeks injured)
Trade in will be Mansell, cash in bank will help with next week’s upgrade
TU – Campbell and Clarke to Lloyd and McCreery
TD – Save trades and get Lloyd cheaper plus rookie Macrae next week but miss Lloyds points this week and risk donuts with Ridley/Clarke out and relying on Kosi/Highmore to both play
24 trades left and would basically finish my defence. Would be Ridley, Laird, Lloyd, Stewart, Docherty and Jiath
