I think I am going to back myself in go with the gut feel on picking Prestia into the team!
In less than 1000 teams, averaging 95 and priced at 498k. Only 2 games below 95, being a 42 and 59 due to injury having him subbed out. This meant 25% and 55% TOG.
Wet games has more stoppages/tackles and he has been someone that favours that.
Backing him in over Zerrett!
while he has scoring potential, he is verrrrry injury prone
only played one full season since 2014
the risk is mitigated in only ~10 games left for him to not get injured int tho
He has been injured twice already this season, so that should hopefully be his injuries for the season. I thought it would be worth the risk as I will have 12 trades after this round, so that should give me a fair bit of leeway if he does fail
Backed in Clarke over Wehr for a pretty much confirmed 18 players on the field.
Can’t trust Wehr when Haynes, Whitfield, Kennedy, Keeffe and Stein are all defenders in Supercoach, making me very nervous on Wehr since he is a defender too
Totally concur Nato.
Over the next couple of weeks or so I expect Durdin and Edwards of North to get games who will probably have better JS
Butters and new recruit Clarke only for me tonight
Jeepers, if you’re worrying about cash generatiom at this point of the season then something has gone very wrong.
McCartin, SDK, Daicos, O’Driscoll, Hayes (x2), Martin, Hately, Gibcus, McComb all in the $150k plus growth range, plus a heap in the $100-$150k bracket (Chapman, Dixon, Clark, JHF, Rosas, Durdin, Jeffrey, Soligo, Hinge, Hobbs, Xerri, Windhager, Jamieson).
Then there’s the incredible mid pricers…Hewett, Pruess, Brodie, Cogs who could (arguably) be classed as keepers.
At this stage your team should be pretty well done, and cash generation is secondary to reliable bench coverage.
That’s great blue balls but who u trading them to that will play games? I have some of the guys u mentioned and already traded some of the others. No point trading to guys that won’t get a game. That’s a dead end.
Yeah, that’s what I’m getting at, cash generation is less relevant than job security. Whichever players you’re bringing in will hopefully only ever have to score once or twice to cover a short term injury, and they’re not getting traded out again so their cow potential doesn’t matter.
I’m looking at Hollands as a mid/fwd who GC have publicly said they hope to get games into. Think North have suggested their MSD pick (Dawson) will see some senior footy at some point. Pretty sure I’ve seen some positive feedback on Ned Long from Hawks fans, hopefully he might get a taste in the second half of the year. Durdin will be a popular pick (though I’m not convinced he’ll get more than 2-3 games). Clarke is looking good for Richmond.
With the limited options though, it makes DPP players more valuable. Can’t find a reliable forward bench rookie, but got one at M9? Just plug in a potentially viable M/F option instead (Hollands or Long) and have Bont or someone like that at M8. Means your playing M9 rookie can effectively cover a forward out (or a ruck one if you’ve also got English at F1 with a R/F rookie at R3).
The stooge commentary described it as off the side of the boot… WE ALL KNOW THESE PROFESSIONALS do that often!
Umps are obviously out to help Richmond early!
Thanks Mav, we shall see what the rest of season brings. Just salty coz it seems every 50/50 decision I get wrong lol. All the best for the rest of the round pal.
Got to be something like Murphy’s Rule.
Tossing up players- you went between Hous & Doc, I went between Boak & Merrett.
Also considered Wehr vs Clarke- and thought- don’t break Superviach rule of picking on first game- he’ll be out by game 2. How’s that looking?
And guarantee- I lost earlier on this year by 1 point in Match up and opponent had Clark in for his first match- and he got 104!
Noticed opponent went Clarke tonight- in a close tussle- he already looks like he’s going to cost me!
Frustrating at times this game!
Houston to be on 80 odd at half to then finish under 100. Quite disappointing but really shows how undulating the scoring was in this game since it was so close
He was on 71 at one stage….Butters also regressed as he was on 95 during the last quarter and finished on 87.
Rozee fortunate to score that last goal as he was spudding it up big time till then.
Lambert should be the sub, the only emergency that didn’t play 2’s.
No late changes for #AFLTigersPower
Medical substitutes:
@Richmond_FC – Kane Lambert
@PAFC – Martin Frederick
No late changes

Someone talk me out of trading Hayes. Feel like he’s no guarantee to play next week and would free up some handy $ this week

Do not do this to yourself, Nato…

Hopefully Clarke kicks a bag for you, been an excitement machine in the VFL rare blend of speed and endurance.
Is anyone staring into the abyss wondering where their cash generation is going to come from?
Staring? I was just climbing back out of the abyss hoping I don’t fall back in

Clarke with a goal! More of those!!!
Goal with first kick club member judson clarke
Now he’s kicked 2!
Dud! Delist!
lol 2 kicks 2 goals
Happy with my gamble so far!
Wow Port are bad. I can’t believe they didn’t go with a ruckman against Nank…
Finnlayson is looking tired already :S
Not a full time ruck, not a bad player but…in the right role
Deliberate out of bounds
Tigers are loving the umpires help!
Was a bit of a weird non call
The stooge commentary described it as off the side of the boot… WE ALL KNOW THESE PROFESSIONALS do that often!
Umps are obviously out to help Richmond early!
Judson Clarke: The hero that every coach needs, but no coach deserves
Am somewhat thankful May got himself suspended as that confirmed me trading him this week to Houston. Houston on fire that first half
I trade Vlastuin then ……
Tossing up between Houston or docherty this week……..went Doch. Typical
I still Think think dochs the better pick for the next 10 weeks FBS, don’t worry.

Yep signing up to SuperCoach should come with a free bottle of blood pressure pills and a stress ball!!
As long as Clarke plays next week (which looks inevitable now) I’m happy. He can be a m/f loophole player if not playing last 10 games
Reckon Houston’s 88 at the half is unders too.
Cmon Prestia! 87 at 3/4 time!
Keep it up and get me a nice solid tonne!
Why is Bolton in the mid-year AA team ahead of Fritsch or Heeney or Bailey? Bizarre selection.
Is Paddy McCartin in there?
He’s probably competing with May and Stewart for the interceptor role, and not sure he has the offensive impact of those two. Been very good though.
Exhibit A (easy miss), B (turnover), C (easy miss) & D (my 4yo could’ve kicked that one).
Butters and Jonas both off the ground after a head clash.
How good am I going…
Only had the 17 on field this week and have just left Gibcus on the bench without the ‘E’.
SuperCoach is really really fun
Umpiring terrible tonight, tigers get every free, Port hard done by
Frees were about the same but tigers got goals from frees and a 50
24 to 21 Richmond’s way , what a disgrace .
Houston to be on 80 odd at half to then finish under 100. Quite disappointing but really shows how undulating the scoring was in this game since it was so close
What happened to Clarke’s score, I thought he was over 70. Finish on 60 something?
He was on 71 at one stage….Butters also regressed as he was on 95 during the last quarter and finished on 87.
Rozee fortunate to score that last goal as he was spudding it up big time till then.
Yep on 71 got an effective possession goes backwards, my oppo had gibcus,, miles behind during game then outscored Clarke ???
Some weird scores in this one. Houston sub tons after being 80+ at half-time. Short tons-up from nowhere. Clarke and Butters both go backwards.
Finlayson looked gassed by the second quarter, so hopefully Teakle-my-fancy gets a run next week.
