maybe wait for news on how serious brander’s injury is. also wouldn’t think he’d be straight back in if fit again as he’s been poor the last two, so i’d be tempted to trade him first as you may not see him again for a month or more.
AJ, With lots of questions being asked about Titch and Riddles this week it’s a hard call.
Try the maths, ie. add averages and BE and see which pair is most beneficial…..or just toss a coin, or if you can find a crystal ball.
Pls note disclaimer clause just incase the coin roles somewhere you can’t reach or see it, and you break the crystal ball coz you lost your coin…..
From the freo website:
Aaron Sandilands is expected to spend three weeks on the sidelines while Nat Fyfe will be out for four to five weeks, according to general manager of football operations Chris Bond.
Will need to hold Fyfe this week to avoid backline carnage of 4 outs.
Howe & T Stewart will be traded out.
Already have Doc, Sicily, Noble (benched) plus rookies. And if Rivers isn’t in, I can’t avoid a donut.
TU: Trade in C Daniel & Simpkin (via Brander to def bench) – can’t afford Lloyd
TD: Trade in Ridley & Simpkin – gives me some cash for next week
Also thinking of maybe Haynes but I don’t trust GWS players….
Lisa you have done well with Rivers keeping his spot at Melbourne.
I have never had a doughnut since playing this crazy game over 4 seasons.
This week I will cop two.
Bench cover non existent to cover the likes of Fyfe, Howe, Noble and Brander.
It doesn’t matter how I skin the cat I’m still copping two doughnuts.
The price you pay to get Big Maxy in and Pittonet at R3 after starting with Naismith.
At least I have Pittonet in my back pocket for an upgrade.
Going Howe to Caleb Daniel and Fyfe to Simpkin to try and maximise points.
Don’t trust Haynes or Maynard, traded out the Bont before his price drop.
Noble and Brander the two doughnuts.
Got to play the young players without family responsibilities with the interstate hubs about to happen.
So it’s bound to blow up in my face,
Like a lot of us this year, I carnt seem to catch a break.
I’ve gone Pendles for Fyfe,
At least he’s durable and always scores reasonably well.
and Noble for Laird
My thinking is he’s as cheap as he’s gonna be and hopefully his scoring reverts to his ave which has been around the 100 for the last 3-4 yrs, I think The good Father has a name for it.
Anyway thoughts?
Not a fan of the Laird pick. Crows are terrible this year, so his output has dipped as well – only tonned up once so far. If you can rustle up a bit more cash, grab Sicily, Haynes or Hurn instead. If not, Ridley seems to be hot atm.
Better MID options than Pendles as well imo. He won’t be top 10, Treloar comes back this week and he’s got a lower floor than most other premo MIDs. Seeing though you’re trading down from Fyfe, you can pretty much afford anyone. Grab Bont if you don’t have him, otherwise McCluggage, Oliver and Gaff are equally solid options.
Option 1 – OUT : Howe & Stewart, IN: C Daniel or Haynes & Simpkin via DPP (Fyfe to deal with next week)
OR
Option 2 – OUT: Howe & D Cameron, IN: Haynes & Serong (deal with Stewart & Fyfe next week)
Who is more important to get in this week – Simpkin or Serong?

Knock to hip/ tight lower back – likely just one week but not sure he would’ve kept his spot this week anyway
Last minute whispers for anyone who still has Noble – someone talked to a friend who had a cousin whose sister knows a guy who was at the Pies scratch match today, and saw Johnny N. wearing a jacket and not playing.
With the rain in Melbourne today, could he possibly be a late change for, say, Cox? Fingers crossed for you all….
Not sure what way I should go this week.
T/U Option 1:
Get rid of underperforming premiums Rozee and Coniglio. Probably would go with a one up, one down trade in with the likes of Simpkin and Green/Serong.
T/D Option 2:
Get rid of rookies Pickett and one other (maybe Bennel or Brander). Get 2 new rookies like Serong, Green, Young, Mahoney.
Iv made 1 trade already this week. And I left 1 just in case of more carnage with the Sunday teams.
With the teams released i dont need to make any more trades, but am considering going Pickett to Serong just because. Will also give me bench cover while fyfe is out.
Thoughts?
TU – yes, do it.
TD – his not worth it, save a trade for future carnage.
With Tyler Brown doing nothing in the 2nd half I need some thoughts from the community for which combo will do better. Both options invlove trading out pickett and who ever is traded in being on field.
TU: Trade in Hill and choice of Rivers or Vandameer on field in the mids.
TD: Trade in Serong and play Rivers on field down back.
TU: Howe to Ridley, Fyfe to Bont
TD: Noble to Hill, Fyfe to Bont, Howe to Lloyd next week.
Fyfe listed as 1-2 so why not trade Howe this week and wait and see on Fyfe…
Who to trade out to avoid a (or multiple) donuts…
TU: Noble
TD: Brander
IMO when not sure DPP wins nearly every time.
Thanks, that’s a good point!
maybe wait for news on how serious brander’s injury is. also wouldn’t think he’d be straight back in if fit again as he’s been poor the last two, so i’d be tempted to trade him first as you may not see him again for a month or more.
Same though I don’t think his form dropped off anymore than the rest of the team.
Who to bench for King’s 82

Probably wouldn’t bring Titch in the week he’s going to cop De Boer, but I think Hill is a good pick up.
How about Fyfe -> Bont and 102K DEF -> Hill?
Already have Bont, Danger, Cripps.. can’t afford $600k+
J Kelly, but made of paper?
Duncan/Titch/Pendles/Parker/Walters all options
Satan Oliver or McCluggage.
Clayton, lock and load. Cheers GD
From the freo website:
Aaron Sandilands is expected to spend three weeks on the sidelines while Nat Fyfe will be out for four to five weeks, according to general manager of football operations Chris Bond.
Any updates on when Pavlich will be back?
I asked in the teams post but maybe not a lot of people saw it there…
Which currently non-playing DEF is likely to get a game / games first:
TU – Z Guthrie
TD – BZT
Thanks!
Probably whenever they can get the microphone off him…….could be a while….
TU: Noble to Ridley, Zorko to Serong (mid upgrade next week)
TD: Noble to Hill, Zorko to McCluggage
Any insight on Mahoney’s JS?
Came here looking for this answer too! Tempting to bring him in at his price over a serong if he can string together 3 or 4 more.
Is Simpkin the real deal?
Even if he drops to a 95 avg from here on, won’t regret bringing him in.
Will need to hold Fyfe this week to avoid backline carnage of 4 outs.
Howe & T Stewart will be traded out.
Already have Doc, Sicily, Noble (benched) plus rookies. And if Rivers isn’t in, I can’t avoid a donut.

Went C Daniel as wasn’t game enough to take the risk on Maynard or Ridley. Hoping he can match their scores!
I’ve already gone Howe to Ridley to give me $138k for next week, looking to also make money from trading Fyfe despite not having Neale.
TU – Sicily
TD – McCluggage
Comment – Hill (double upgrade next week)
Bringing in another premium this week will mean I will likely bring Hibberd as a rookie downgrade next week.
Thanks!
TU – Hill
Which rookie onfield?
TU Mitch Hibberd, take a chance on debut (he was my mid loophole)
TD Tyler Brown, will he improve on last weeks 45
Got these trade in mind:
So it’s bound to blow up in my face,
Like a lot of us this year, I carnt seem to catch a break.
I’ve gone Pendles for Fyfe,
At least he’s durable and always scores reasonably well.

T/U not the worst theory
T/D Rethink
Morning, Smurf.

Hope that helps, good luck.
Thanks GD,
Good advice,
Was also thinking about Haynes,
But trying to squeeze some extra cash with the Laird trade,
Bont seems the most Logical,
Thanks again
Np. I really rate Haynes as well, probably comes in for me next week.
Is bringing in Hill and Serong a good option?
Trading Noble and maybe Georgiades (Will give me FWD bench cover)
Any ideas when SC will put in Jones and Aarts profiles?
TU: Serong
TD: Sturt
Option 1 – OUT : Howe & Stewart, IN: C Daniel or Haynes & Simpkin via DPP (Fyfe to deal with next week)
OR
Option 2 – OUT: Howe & D Cameron, IN: Haynes & Serong (deal with Stewart & Fyfe next week)
Who is more important to get in this week – Simpkin or Serong?
If you think Simpkin will go 100+ for the rest of the season then he’s more important.
Keep in mind if Hibbard goes well this week you’ll want to trade him in next week as 114K rookies are few and far between.
Merret back might push him out again though
The fixture carnage we were expecting has landed:
https://www.afl.com.au/news/460394/fixture-rewrite-vic-clubs-forced-north-for-r6-7-return-date-unknown
who to trade for hill
TU – BZK
TD – Noble
Does anyone else get those annoying pop up ads when you try to view any of the subjects in this chat?
Get an “adblocker”…they really work. Just google it.
You are then depriving the site of revenue though. Just a side note.
With this rain, v/c options…..
T/U Grundy into Neale or Gawn
T/D Neale into Gawn ?
Still weighing up.
TU: Bont
TD: Simpkin
Cheers
Trading Zorko & Howe to:
TU – Macrae + Sicily
TD – Simpkin + Lloyd
Both great options really,
Does anyone have any info on brander’s injury? All I can find is “hip”..

Knock to hip/ tight lower back – likely just one week but not sure he would’ve kept his spot this week anyway
Need to decide who to turn Howe into.
T/U – C. Daniel
T/D – Sicily
Comment – Maynard? Pies are one of the better defensive teams but not sure how Howe being out will affect everyone else’s scoring.
Sicily for ceiling, Daniel for consistency.
Sicily for fun, Daniel for sanity
Does anyone know where I can gamble on SuperCoach markets? I know tab have some markets.
Thanks in advance!
Will Rowell go 100+ vs the cats
t/u-yes
t/d-no
Word is he’ll be getting some attention this round.
It would be awesome if he gets another bog but I can’t see it happening.
Donut in the back line for my tech team unless I can pick up a defender for 387,300. Needs to be a keeper or cash cow. I’m stuck for ideas
S. Hill
Last minute whispers for anyone who still has Noble – someone talked to a friend who had a cousin whose sister knows a guy who was at the Pies scratch match today, and saw Johnny N. wearing a jacket and not playing.
With the rain in Melbourne today, could he possibly be a late change for, say, Cox? Fingers crossed for you all….
I believe he’s the first emergency so wouldn’t be playing in the scratch match whether he was going to play tonight or not.
All emergencies do not play in pre game events because of the possibilities of call ups.
You could roll the dice on Corr as a potential keeper or grab Hill or Young as cows.
Like the Corr selection, bringing him in with Ridley this week. I’m hopeful he’ll be my D6 or at worse a decent stepping stone
any reason why there is no love for Bachar?
He’ll come back into convo in about a week after his price drops a bit
TU: Hill
TD: Young
Fyfe / Brander –>
TU: Bont / Hill / 180k
TD: Simpkin / Ridley / 10k
Howe & Stewart for
TU: Ridley & Simpkin – 111k left
TD: Lloyd & Hill – 262k left
I traded out Tom Green when he was dropped 2 rounds ago. Now I feel like I have to bring him back in as too many of my rookies are getting dropped.
TU: Do it, his job is safe for now
TD: find someone else, your pride is more important
Use mathematics and not “names”.
Did the same =[
Is Hill a must have?
Have to get rid of Howe and not sure whether to go to Maynard or down to Hill.
TU: Howe to Hill & MacPherson to McCluggage/Bont
Leaves cash to upgrade Pittonet next week
TD: Howe to Maynard
MacPherson to McCluggage/Bont
Going Fyfe to Titch. Deciding on Noble to one of the following?
Tu; Serong
Ted; S.Hill
Leaning towards serong, swinging rivers back into defence.
Why Titch?
Going Howe-Sicily and was planning on Noble-Hill. However, this talk of Noble being a late-in has me pondering what to do if so.
If Noble is a late-in:
TU – trade Brander to Hill
TD – forego Hill and save trade
I should add that trading Brander to Hill will allow me to take King’s 86. DPP magic at play.
Yep. Bank the 86, Grint.
Who’s the better cow? Both have solid JS:
T.U: Hill
T.D: Serong
What makes you say both have solid JS? Is Serong’s that good?
High draft pick, they want to get games in him, Fyfe out.
Serong attended every centre bounce after Fyfe went off.
When in doubt DPP….
TU: Noble > Caleb Daniel
TD: C. Taylor >Simpkin (Hold Noble for an extra week and play Rivers on field this week)
Not sure what way I should go this week.
T/U Option 1:
Get rid of underperforming premiums Rozee and Coniglio. Probably would go with a one up, one down trade in with the likes of Simpkin and Green/Serong.
T/D Option 2:
Get rid of rookies Pickett and one other (maybe Bennel or Brander). Get 2 new rookies like Serong, Green, Young, Mahoney.
Or I could trade Pickett and one premium. If so,
T/U: Rozee
T/D: Coniglio
Which FWD to field?
TU: Taylor
TD: Sturt
Noble to Ridley Pickett to serong TU
Berk thatcher to hill Naismith to mahonyTD
COMMENT combination of any of the above but I need to bri g in a defender
Other options are green in the mids and Hayden young in defence
Need some advice, rivers selection means no donut
T/U Andy Brayshaw > Simpkin
T/D Viney > Titch
What about Viney > simpkin considering Titch will likely get tagged this week?
Interesting – surprised by the response to this.
Hadn’t considered de boer tag – could he maybe go to wingard or jager instead?
After lots of back and fourth and different ideas, to avoid donuts and raise funds I went
Howe > Maynard
Fyfe > Simpkin
Fyfe to
TU Gaff
TD Oliver
Heads Gaff, tails Ollie
HEADS!
Canel those going Simpkin banking 320k with Taylor into Bont next week <3
Who to VC
Grundy T/U
Neale T/D
Into Gawn
I’ve got Fyfe/Stewart/Noble out with no bench cover.
TU: Fyfe>Simpkin, Stewart>Lloyd
TD: Stewart>Lloyd, Noble>Hill and hope Fyfe injury isn’t bad
Got to cop a donut regardless. I’ve leant towards TU but I need to know whether I have tunnel vision.
Would you rather be looking at a doughnut from Noble or Fyfe?
T/U Williamson’s 57
T/D Rivers
Iv made 1 trade already this week. And I left 1 just in case of more carnage with the Sunday teams.
With the teams released i dont need to make any more trades, but am considering going Pickett to Serong just because. Will also give me bench cover while fyfe is out.
Thoughts?
TU – yes, do it.
TD – his not worth it, save a trade for future carnage.
Cheers.

Comment Titch
Was going V Neale into C Gawn but now my loophole means I’ll cop Brown’s stinky 29 as an emergency. Dang!
T/U: Stick with it and if Neale goes massive cop the stinky 29
T/D: V Danger and hope he finally goes massive at KP vs Suns and C Gawn or Neale
Which of my rookies do I trade out for Serong?
TU: Pickett
TD: Brander
Comment: Noble
