So Lloyd is killing me by not owning him.
Do I need to get him in next week for Doedee or bring in the Hoff this week for cover on Fwd/ mids lines? ( Fyfe injured no bench rookies named and playing Ahern and Holman)
Help please! Oh and very low on trades! Damn all these late injuries!!
Actually should say I could ditch Ryan for Lloyd next week via McDonald to fwd
I think Hoff is a great band aid in the midfield Macca, with his dpp I’m personally grabbing him this week for Fyfe to fill that spot for 2-3 weeks ( hopefully 105-110 average )
Then before SC finals Macrae should be back (r18 ) & around mid $500’s after his high be time after 1-2 games, then swap Hoff forward for a Windgard/Walters type for $100k!
Not sure of your entire team though!
Thanks Catta – think I’m going to miss Lloyd this year – mind you he burned me badly last year which is why I have held off, now with all of my last 4 trades getting injured including the bench rookies who cane in for cover, I’m struggling!!
Worth considering these taggers before selecting your final midfield upgrade or Fyfe replacement, these are the SC finals below!
(Hewett Swans )
R20 … Collingwood ( Sidebottom/Pendles )
R21 … Melbourne ( Oliver / Viney )
R22 … GWS ( Kelly / Shiel )
R23 … Hawthorn ( Mitchell / Smith ) ( GF )
Jacobs ( North )
R20 … Brisbane ( Zorko / Beams )
R21 … WB ( Bont / Macrae )
R22 … Adelaide ( Sloane / Crouch )
R23 … STK ( Steven / Ross ) ( GF )
No doubt there’s other taggers to consider, but I rate these 2 the best of the crop in 2018 in front of Curnow, Robinson, Steele, Shiels, Hutchings & co
Cheers Catta
Steele’s been very good the last few weeks!
Agreed, allsaints
He’s done it over the last few years & been reasonably serviceable IMO, role change or personal seems to of created a change in Richo’s view on Steele / tagging!
Catta
Banfield has been done a few jobs for Freo this year.
Sc Finals Freo play the Eagles / Blues / Cats / Pies.
Absolutely, FT
He’s definitely one of the ”co” mentioned above, for a first year player ( I think ) he has had a very underrated start to his career Freo Tragic.
R20 …. ( Gaff / Yeo / Shuey )
R21 …. ( Murphy / Cripps )
R22 …. ( Selwood / Gaz / Danger )
R24 …. ( Sidebum / Pendles / Treloar pending injuries ) GF
Cheers Catta
TU:
This week – Fyfe-Oliver & Banfield-Shuey
6 trades left
TD:
This week – Banfield-Gaff & Guelfi-Sier
Next week – Fyfe-Oliver
5 trades left
Essentially, is the Gaff upgrade on Shuey worth the extra trade burnt?
Please help
T/U Crouch & McLean
T/D Neale & Shuey
Thank you.
One from real left field. Have 8 trades and fyfe . Spargo goes fwd for T Smith and sits on the bench as I have no fwd cover (battle other fwd bench), then bring in Armitage for spargo to cover Fyfe till he returns. Giro on mid bench and Armitage onfield.. Armitage is the m9 for finals hopefully.
Or, straight fyfe to bont or similar.
T/U first option
T/D second option
M9:
TU – Armitage
TD – Shuey
As a suggestion, Dahlhaus only a little more but has dpp
Aha. Cheers Catta.
Who to Bench
T/U Mihochek
T/D Cox
If Mihochek is taking Dunns role will that affect his scoring and is Coxy due for another bag?
Neale. Gaff or Kelly for Fyfe?
T/U: Neale
T/D: Gaff
Comment: Kelly
Kelly every day of the week. Assuming you mean a Josh not Tim!
Would you gamble on bringing in M Crouch for his price (hand injury too) for Fyfe?
I’m at full premo with 5 trades left and with Hibberd sitting at D6.
This will give me $$$ in the bank to upgrade Hibberd to a better premuin prior to finals..
TU – Not a bad idea. Grab Couch and the cash.
TD – Trade Fyfe to another premuin and just keep Hibberd at D6 with 4 trades.
I’d be steering clear due to the injury – won’t take much for him to be put on ice id it’s already fractured. Might not also go in for the tackle as much either and he did have 9 last week boosting his score.
With all the carnage I’ve still got Doedee and Hibberd at D6 / D7 (Ryan at D5)
No loophole so…
D6 this week.
T/U Doedee. Playing The Tigers.
T/D Hibberd. Dockers in Darwin
Thanks folks.
JJK to Hurley? (via Sicily)
Only have $460k for a defender or forward.
TU: Do it
TD: There are better options
The good news: I have a full-premium team with swinging bench-cover that allows me to cover an injury on any line except the ruck without having to field a rookie or make a trade. In other words, I have 23 keepers.
The bad news: I have Fyfe, and Heeney’s concussion means that the swinging bench system is not operational this week. I also only have 4 trades left.
This week notwithstanding, barring further injury I could cover Fyfe’s absence until his return, at the cost of some points.
I’m also going for overall rather than leagues, if that affects your vote.
TU: Trade Fyfe. If you’re going for overall, you need all the points you can get. 4 to 5 weeks is just too long to hold out.
TD: Hold, or at least hold until you get another injury. Forget points, you need to keep your trades!
Hmmm. I’m trading thanks to your advice earlier and am going for overall not Leagues.
I am also gonna trade NicNat OUT for Grundy after Simmo’s comments about his soreness AND Vardy named as cover.
Two trades left after this.
Funny how these are the trades I made last Sunday night and it has taken me all week to convince myself/be convinced, that this is the right way to go.

allsaints.
I have really enjoyed your contributions to this great site.
So I will tell this to ya straight.
Super Coach is no fun when you run out of trades.
HOLD!
true dat Freo ….. OR, you can just shrug your shoulders, feel all the stress and worry wash away and sit back and actually enjoy the matches and not worry about who scored what and how many dipSh$ts are at CD with their dodgy scoring of players you don’t have!!!! … *wink*
Thanks mate. Appreciate it v much. Are you saying hold Fyfe too, or just NicNat?
Have a projected 2244 total this week. Not good enough this time of year I know and normally end up a couple of hundred below that every week too.
I think I need to feel the pain to ensure I don’t press that T button with the same abandon next year.
Besides, I can still witter on on here til the cows come home when my season comes to a grinding halt. I love it!
Those last two trades will keep me happy for a while. And when they run out I have great dpp options and with Moore named tonight, all benchers playing apart from Olango. What’s not to like?!?
Thanks again FT. Really do appreciate it. But it’s just not me. Been a risk-taker all my life and believe me that’s a while 🙂
With 4 trades left I would hold Nic Nat, at least until he actually got injured or rested, but as someone who already has Grundy that’s easy for me to say.
You should definitely trade Fyfe, though.
If I am to risk Crouch with his hand injury do I
T/U trade him in for Martin
T/D trade him in for Fritsch
What midfield and forward players, have the best upcoming loophole fixture (most games on Sunday) for me to bring in and use as a donut getting loophole option.
Go to Players on SC options
Rank by price, lowest
Using filters …
Restrict to WCE and FRE
Restrict to MIDs and FWDs
Take your pick!!
Great advice…..wce and freo rock games 8/9 for the rest of the season.
I’m guessing Olango ( C ) loophole will be BOG several times to round out the season too gents 😉
Thanks heaps guys
He’ll probably be my second-equal highest scorer come Rd23!!
Im betting those with 8-10 trades will come storming home.
5 trades left
Fo I use 2this week by bringing in gaff and shied for Fyfe and guelfi. TU
Or
Use just 1 trades and bring in gaff for Fyfe. TD
Trade preservation at this time of year is critical
Sorry
I meant guelfi to shuey
thoughts on who will score the best this weekend
TU B. Sier vs Bombers
TD P Ahearn vs Gold Coast
Is Holman to shuey a good trade or is just a sideways trade and a waste
will nicnat post a captains score vs gws sunday?
Not convinced he’ll even play, let alone score well. According to Adam Simpson “he’s been sore for a couple of weeks (which explains his recent sub-par scores) but should play” and with Vardy named I fear he may be a late OUT. I might be reading too much into it, but am getting very twitchy for the T button for a late Grundy trade. Will decide Sunday before the Pies’ game.
Anyone know how Shane Mumford went in his debut fight tonight?
I got some pre-fight live vision from Ricky “Chicken” Nixon of him throwing his heavy hands with a trainer, also getting in the ring but that it?
beams or zorko??
could go gaff but want the pod
tell me you went with the thumbs??!?!?!
on 85 and not even half-time yet
TU beams (huge ceiling but can drop stinkers)
470k
TD Zorko ( Can he break a tag yet)
510k
Cmnt: gaff (Uber consistency)
524k
Trade out fyfe to
T/u Gaff
T/D Ward
Who scores more titch or gawn
TU: Fyfe> Shuey/ Guelfi > Westhoff
TD: Fyfe> Shuey/ Ryan> Wingard
Don’t have enough for Gaff/ Neale..
Other Mids: Mitchell, Cripps, Coniglio, Oliver, Danger, Dusty n JKelly..
Finished team but with HShawD6, Nic NatR2 n Shuey M8..
5 trades left after this
get Crouch next week. Should still be able to afford him.
Thanks allsaints..
Really want Westhoff to finish off forwards…
So thinking then:
Fyfe > Sier on field this week / Guelfi > Westhoff
Then hopefully have enough for MCrouch or even Sloane next week??
Essentially burning an extra trade to upgrade Shuey to Crouch..
Posted in Trade Talk II
Fyfe & Guelfi OUT
TU: Westhoff & Shuey M8
Ahern covering Heeny in FWD
($38K ITB)
TD: J Kelly & Sier M8 this week
Will move Sier to MID bench with Ahern when Heeney returns
Spargo comes on field in FWD for this week
($196K ITB and wait for Macrae)
6600ish overall, 10 trades and one game clear on top
Is Mundy worth a look in as a FWD/MID swingman with Fyfe out?
I have him. He surely can’t go any worse than he has the last few weeks. Tending back to the mean and all that. Might be worth a stab and likes playing at home (with plenty to come at Optus from here).
Trading Guelfi
Tu Wingard
Td hoff
To avoid a donut bring in
T/U Billings
T/D The Hoff
Billings burned me bad holding him till he was dropped. But he is so cheap possibly I could use the extra cash next week but I do need the points now. Has Billings turned a corner or am I just being sucked in again?Burn me once shame on you burn me twice shame on me
Hoff.Hoff Hoff Hoff.
Port will win more games on the way home.
Billings is cheap for a reason.
Thanks Freo Tragic. When you put it that way hoff it is
Thank you.
I hope he goes well for you today.
I’ve owned the Hoff all year. He used to be a POD!
I have Hoff and Rocky and I think Rocky is the better option out of the two.
Should I go Ridley to Mihocek for 32k? My cover is currently Redman and Ridley and neither look like playing anytime soon. Only 4 trades left but at full premo and have good cover in the forward Line and midfield. Facing a Simmo donut this week and potential future donuts if I don’t make the trade.
Redman is out for another 6-8 weeks due to his ankle while Ridley is only out because of form. If I was deciding between the two, I would select Redman. Are you doing this trade purely for a little bit more cash? If so, 32k is not much gain for a trade.
If you are desperate to at least get one D7/8 position player to be actually playing, the list of low priced Defenders who are selected only include:
Brad Lynch (123,900) – WBD
Darragh Joyce (123,900) – although I read this post too late and he is playing right now (STK) and doing terribly (-3 SC at half time)
Hey Daniel cheers for the response. No Mihocek will cost me 32k, it’s to avoid donuts for the rest of the year, when a player misses a week or two and not just this week which is why I want Mihocek but don’t trust the others. If it was just this week I would definitely cop the donut. Some chance Ridley comes back into the side but it doesn’t look to likely at this stage. Pies kind of “need” Mihocek at the minute.
I’d go Lynch if pressed but Mihocek will give you a bit more historical surety.
I just cannot get the v loop right. Put v on titch last night, so who do I put the c on this afternoon…Grundy/yeo/zerrett/pendles/cogs ? Leaning towards Grundy.
Has to be. May not be the top scorer but you know he won’t let you down. SC beast.
