  2. Hey guys got til the bounce to but this one out…

    TU: STEELE N.MARTIN & WILMOTT

    TD: TITCH XERRI & WILMOTT

    I know Titch has the groin but It was only ever soreness no strain of any sort… Feel he will match Steele and a POD! Thanks in advance

  3. Wondering if I should get Owens in?
    Who should I put in m11?
    Owens TU
    Hough TD
    Any insight would help?

    1. I’ve gone Owens over Hough, Wognuts.

      Don’t have great reads on either tbh but thinking Billings and Clark out for a while helps Owens, whereas the Eagles are all over the place with injuries and corona. Witherden also back next week.

          1. Hate to say it GD, but Owens looks a dud … damn … my fault for last minute change … correction trade ASAP I think

  4. No late changes

    Medical subs –

    St Kilda : Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera ($162k D/M) Pick 11 in 2021 AFL Draft

    Collingwood : Tom Wilson ($199k D)

  5. Evening, all.

    Steele VC, Daicos, Grundy (as Darcy replacement) and Owens benched for me tonight.

    Hope everyone’s had a god week.

  6. Faded Hayes thinking Ryder (who was close this week) would immediately take his spot.

    Wa-oh.

    1. Tough go GD but logical thinking. See how he goes next week and if he delivers use a rookie correction before price increases. R/f flexibility will be big this year I reckon

    2. Yep – Hayes may be undersized (height wise) for a ruckman.

      So he will struggle to score too many points from his ruck work.

      Grundy jumped all over him at one point at a centre bounce down.

      But he works hard, he knows where to go to get the footy, he has good hands, and it also looks like he has pretty good skills.

      Very encouraging first half of AFL footy from him 🙂

    3. Ryder misses a lot of games and ain’t getting any younger. I think Hayes will play 10+ games and if his form stays, they may keep Ryder as a break glass in emergency.

      1. and just realised that I should have started him on the Fwd bench with the R … and given myself the option of Motts Manoeuvre by picking an NPR on the fwd line … never learn … damn …

  8. Well. I f*cked up on Hayes. No doubt.

    Took Durdin’s 71, so wouldn’t have had him in field but this guy’s coming in for me the minute Owens gets dropped lol.

    Nice work to those on him, especially if you’ve fielded him!

    1. Looks like Lipinski is taking points off Crisp to me. Playing middle and back whilst Lipinski was middle and fwd. Distinct role change .

    2. Crisp ran up and down and all over the joint 4 f…k all Howe and Daicos are being used out of the backline moving the ball quickly and bypassing crisp this might change when they play better sides. .In crisp we trust iam not to sure ?.

  9. Well this performance from Hayes has been a surprise and is making me reconsider my team.
    T/U – Keep current structure and have R2 Witts and D4 Chapman
    T/D – R2 Preuss (obviously take Hayes score this week) D4 Sicily

  10. Just looked at the SC scores on fan footy. I have Hayes on the bench a the C on steele. I give up. I know nothing about SC.

  11. And while we are at it … just WTF is Steele doing tonight???? 7 clangers so far (2 frees against in that), but woeful scoring … anyone who took Tracc instead of Steele well ahead!

  12. so lucky I passed on steele this evening and rolling the dice on titch..
    but knowing my luck titch will be a late out with covid haha

    I’ve had a few deep breathes, calmed down and giving crisp a lifeline he gets one more week to prove himself.

  13. Can’t decide for my M3…

    TU: Josh Kelly (Better value having started last season in the forward line, but injury history)
    TD: Darcy Parish (Higher ceiling but susceptible to a tag)

  14. Had decided to roll with Long as my loophole, to take Macrae’s VC score (and because I couldn’t afford any other playing rookie to replace him with). Long was my captain on the mid bench with Daicos my emergency. Long now switched with Rachele to the forward line, with Hayes my forward emergency. More than happy to take his 123, even with Daicos’s 99 . Love seeing rookies scoring well. Not so happy with some of premiums though – Crisp & Steele. More worried about Crisp’s role – Lipinkski seemed to taking the points that Crisp was getting last season.

    1. nice play Lisa having Hayes on your FWd bench with the E … I had too much on my plate tonight and too rushed and completely forgot to swap him with Dixon to FWD bench as first playing reserve from the two to give possible option of taking his score if he went off … just goes to show that you have to be right on with everything!

    2. Nice Lisa…I had Hayes as R3 so can only get his score by swapping Witts to Benning, then I have to find a $400k fwd from who is left to play by trading Long. Think thats a bit extravagant and will also cost a trade somewhere along the line I would think. Nice advice for the future from Macca about the timing/placement of players with the e. A ton from Witts will ease the pain !!!

      1. Why not just use a 200-300k midprice forward and then use the extra money to rookie correct your defensive line

    1. partial ouch Nateo … fingers crossed that Rowell’s pre season form is meaning back to like he was on his debut!

  15. Is Darcy definitely just the one week? Will be taking Hayes for this week and trade back Nic Nat for Darcy.

  16. Is it worth bringing in a donut for Martin (rookie) up fwd to be able to take Hayes score?

    Tu; Do it
    Td; Its round 1, have rookies who are going to play and generate cash!!!

  17. N Martin > Hollands just to take Hayes score
    this week?

    Will be likely to bring in hollands sometime soon as he should get game time.

    Yes or no?!

  18. Its only 1 game in R1 – risky reading much into it – wait for a 2nd week – how often do people chase points that are gone in this game.

  19. Great debut by young daicos only difference between himself and his dad is his old man could kill you with 15 touches , just ask bruce doull, but the kid is off to a fine start

  20. Baldwin out. Non playing R/F loophole in.

    With English and Hayes now scoring threats seems a better way to complete the loop then Hoping Preuss gets FWD in week 6

  21. I was $100 short of being able to bring in Lipinski so stuck with Curnow in the forward line. Hayes would have been an emergency.

    Supercoach seems to be a bit like golf. There are times that you think that you can actually play. Other times, you’re just an old man looking for a golf ball.

  22. N Martin > Voss (102k fwd/ defender)

    This enables me to take;
    – Hayes score
    – Future donut for vc loophole
    – Can swing down back with SDK & McCartin in future for more forward options.

    Have to weight up how safe Martin is in that Essendon side. Thoughts?

    Tu; Go for it
    TD; Hold Martin at F8

  23. Jade Gresham ( 109 ) is a bit of a forgotten man in all this. With Jones out for a while, Gresh looks to be getting the midfield time. I would be keen to get and CBA numbers. He comes with some injury risk at $299K 2 goals and only 2 tackles is a little worrying too as he probably needs goals to ton. At least his 85% TOG bodes well. If he’s playing more like a 60/40 split he may still come into contention.

    Anyone else possibly eyeing off the Gresh ?

    1. 17 games out of a possible 66 in the last 3 years doesn’t inspire confidence for me at that awkward price point.

    2. Yeah maybe Gresh in the fwds but still an awkward price point $299k. Depends on how Xerri and Brodie goes or Crisp next week who was the biggest disappointment and needs to improve or needs to go (poss downgrade Def and upgrade fwds). If you are only playing with a 3 premo Def you wouldn’t want to do that I don’t think.

      BTW dodged a bullet in ‘Relton’ Owens, that Intel was a bit off the mark hey 🙂
