  1. Tech team so willing to take a risk here or there

    TU – Georgiades & Brander > Thurlow & Foot (+159k)
    TD – Georgiades & Hopper > Lloyd & Foot

  2. Posted this in trade talk but does Gawn still not playing change anything seeing as im planning on using the money saved with Williams to bring Gawn back in?

    Trading out Sicily and McPherson . Have 11 trades and $396k itb before doing anything. These trades will leave me with 2.5 upgrades (currently have Bytel at M8, Draper at R2 and D.Smith F6)

    TU: Williams and Parker with about $200k for future upgrade
    TD: Lloyd and Parker with about $50k left.

    Pretty much is it better to have the extra cash in the bank to get a proper R2/Gawn back or is Lloyd a must have even with Rampe out now?

    1. With 3 best 18 scoring weeks in a row think it is worth splashing the cash this week. Might be able to cover Bytel and Draper on field for the next couple of weeks but this all depends how your team is set for the byes and if you’re playing for league or overall as well.

  3. So Houston has really cooked my plans this week.

    He will go but need to know who to bring in for him.

    Also now that I’m not going “full-premo” due to having to sideways Houston, I’ll still have to field a rookie this week in either McKay or Serong.

    T/U: Fyfe and field McKay in DEF
    T/D: Lloyd and field Serong in MID

    1. Real tight choice there. I think either way is a good trade. It really would depend on what you do with the extra cash. Oliver will generate better scores but if you can upgrade another player with the cash the combination may be worth more.
      Good luck

  4. T/up – Trade Gawn to Goldstein (no cover) and Serong to Lyons/Fyfe

    T/down – Trade Gawn to Goldstein (no cover) and Aarts to Foot if named, and then upgrade Serong next week

    1. I’d be inclined to upgrade Serong, depending on your cash situation. Not every rookie needs to be traded for a new rookie.

      Depends what your aiming for. Cash injection or points. If it’s points, I’d be using available cash to upgrade Serong to a mid priced scorer.

  5. has dochartys role changed due to team injuries
    are they not using him to run the ball out of the backline any more
    is he injured or just out of form ?
    averaging 59 over his last 6 games
    definatly not a keeper in best 18 format & must be traded

  6. Currently thinking trading Simpkin and McPherson for Lloyd and Gould (if he’s playing) via DPP. Simpkin isn’t my ideal trade out, but I currently have 12 premiums available for Round 15..

    At the moment, I need one upgrade (D6) with 8 trades, so doing this would take me down to 6 trades needing an F6 who will ideally be Jack Martin in Round 16.

    If I complete this weeks trades, I’d be using 3 more trades in Round 15 to sideways a few of the premiums missing, therefore giving me 16 premiums available, leaving me with one trade.

    Alternatively, I could hold Simpkin and settle for Harris Andrews which would give me the same number of premiums come Round 15, an extra trade but I would have no Lloyd.

    TU – Simpkin for Lloyd
    TD – Harris Andrews (keep Simpkin, no Lloyd)

  7. Hi Guys,
    Just wanted opinions on this;

    TU – Sicily and Simpson to Ridley and Simpkin (72k bank)
    TD- Sicily and Simpson to Ridley and Foot (362k bank)

  8. Had an equal split in trade talk so hoping this might be clearer.

    T/U Sicily + Pickett > Lloyd + T.Stewart (Finish off def line but leaves Starc + Schoenberg/Wicks as m7/m8 = risky)

    T/D Sicily + Pickett > Ridley*/Z.Williams + Tich (Leaves McKay and Schoenberg/Wicks as d6 and m8)

    *Pending whether Ridley gets selected this week.

  9. Hey everyone! Need a W this week to make finals so would love some help on trades!

    Got $70k in the bank and thinking potentially Sicily and Simpson to Williams and Brayshaw (melb)
    Does anyone have any better suggestions?!

    Team is currently-
    Laird, Sicily, Haynes, Ridley, Stewart, Docherty (Sholl, Rivers)
    Neale, Macrae, Lyons, Adams, Cogs, Duncan, Cripps, Simpson (Shoenberg, Bytel, Wicks)
    Grundy, Draper (Conroy)
    Whitfield, Martin, B. Smith, Simpkin, D. Smith, Rankine (Hill, Close)

    1. viney is cheap @ sub 500k now
      should be over the concussion he copped 3 weeks ago
      might take his midfield spot back from brayshaw this week

    Haynes & Oliver + $30k

    TD:
    Haynes & Parker + $216k (and an upgrade next week)

    1. Maynard still has a bye.

      Could see Mills playing tall and covering Rampe, led to Luke Ryan putting up large numbers.

      Regardless would take Mills.

  12. Is it just a no brainer to be bringing in premiums ONLY from teams who won’t be playing a bye for the rest of the season? (Blues, Dons, Freo, GWS, Hawks, Dees, Swans & Eagles)

  15. After your thoughts. Need to win to make finals. Have 287k.
    Was going Doedee and Simpson to Zwilliams and Shiel – TU
    But now with Houston out should I go
    Houston and Simpson to Zwilliams and Parker – TD
    Not sure if I should hang on to Houston.

    Good luck all.
    Cheers

  16. Don’t have time to wait for teams, need to get Sicily out for Lloyd. Didn’t pick up Bytel last week but won’t know if he’s playing until after Sic is locked out. Who’s the better downgrade option this week?

    TU – Bytel
    TD – Foot

  17. TU: Boak 60K

    TD: Parker

    I am only concerned about leagues so Boak having the bye in the non final round is fine with me

  18. Can you fellas shed some light on the rd 18 with Melb & Bombers players in our teams…

    I had a mate tell me they play twice in rd 18 and we get to choose the higher of the scores which does not sound right. I’m assuming when they play twice in the that 9 days or what ever we get one of the scores which ever SC decide?

    1. They won’t be playing twice in any round. All the other clubs have been given byes so there is no longer a need for them to play a catch up game. The game postponed earlier in the season was essentially their bye.

  19. Serrong to Parker is locked.
    Need a downgrade for the cash. Wanted to do MacPherson to Gould this week but damn you Horse!
    TU: MacPherson -> Butts (otherwise no D bench cover)
    TD: Aarts -> Foot (F7 cover)

  20. 11 trades left with 2 upgrades to reach full keeper. Need to use a trade to replace Sicily.
    Houston is my D6 – is he worth holding?
    I have bench cover this week.
    First week of finals is best 18.

    TU: Save the trade
    TD: Trade Houston

  21. Playing for league wins – already projected to win and will make finals regardless. So long term thought process. Scholl on ground in DEF at D6 – D6 will be who I dont choose this week (future planning never seem to work)
    This week
    TU/ Ridley BE 120
    TD/ Williams BE 80
    Comment
    Ridley this week and Daniel (BE 132) next week

    Hope this makes sense, sorry guys

  22. TU : If I replace Sicily with Lloyd this week, it means running my 2nd ruck as either Draper or D Cameron. Then next week, I can bring in either Nic Nac or Goldy and have just under $500K for a mid upgrade to get a rookie off the field – Shiel, Greenwood, Boak.

    TD: If I replace Sicily with Z Williams this week, I can trade in Goldy this week also and will have about $630k next week for a Fyfe / Bont / Parker type player. But probably won’t end up getting Lloyd in the future – possible, but less likely.

    So my dilemma is – by getting Lloyd, I take a hit this week by not running a premium ruck with Grundy for the 2nd week in a row, and am limited with my mid upgrade next week. By passing on Lloyd and saving $, I play with 2 premium rucks and get free run of mid upgrades next week. Is Lloyd worth that?

  23. After trades I’ll still have two rookies with questionable JS on field, and my cash gen is pretty low.

    Do I go for

    TU: Fyfe
    TD: Parker + more cash for easier upgrades later on.

    6

    4
    1. Fyfe will be a better scorer/captaincy option. Parker will probably hover around his price for another week, see if you can plan a week ahead and decide based on that. If you have good rookie cover/cash gen, go for Fyfe

  24. Do we have any updates on whether Nic Nat is playing this week?
    Need to know before Port game.
    Thanks in anticipation of being sedated.

    1. No reason to say he isn’t as of yet. Freo Tragic made a good point in that he had a great game last week so there isn’t any reason for him not to play. I brought in Goldstein because I just couldn’t muster up enough confidence to pull the trigger on Nic Nat if that helps you at all..

      1. Thanks Fos,
        That’s my fear as to why he will be rested….doesn’t have much (?) to complete against this week that can’t be covered…….

  25. Feeling conflicted over a three way for the first time in my life, help needed on who to field!!

    TU: Georgiades

    TD: B Close

    comment: Foot

    1. hahaha love it, loophole if possible, but i assume all 3 must be in your forward line. personally, i’d field Foot and see what he can do, but georgiades will give you a 50ish regardless. enjoy the 3 way!

      1. Yeah all 3 in my forward line, accidentally DPP’ed my loophole into the backline….

        Only nagging thought is that Close comes in and pulls some poor Crow’s defenders pants down.

        I love a spicy bet though so I reckon I’m backing Foot

  28. Above Shane asked the question –

    Haynes or Ryan….
    8/1 was the thumbs up count… So while its lovely the community here click on one of the thumbs to have their two bobs worth you really have to DYOR…
    Sure Ryan is 55k more expensive but…. One has been very solid and the other perhaps has now been found out…
    This year is a BE game so to think 8 out of 9 people are suggesting to bring in a bloke with zero percent chance of achieving his BE and perhaps before getting another look at whether the Eagles will try and throw a tag on him tells me lots of people here are either not very good at SC and or didn’t use their brains prior to clicking thumbs up to Haynes…
    I’m writing this after Ryan has scored a 140, perhaps Haynes will prove me wrong but I’m thinking an 80 odd and a price drop of 30k might be on the cards as SC suggests also…
    If the 8 out of the 9 that reeeeaaaalllyyyy like the bloke that much I’d wait a week or two and get him in the mid 400’s…
    I hope you didnt listen to the 8/9 Shane but of course – thats just my two bobs worth…
