    1. 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.

    1. 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…..

    2. 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?

      1. Already have Bont, Danger, Cripps.. can’t afford $600k+
        J Kelly, but made of paper?

        Duncan/Titch/Pendles/Parker/Walters all options

  2. 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.

      1. 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!

  3. TU: Noble to Ridley, Zorko to Serong (mid upgrade next week)
    TD: Noble to Hill, Zorko to McCluggage

    1. 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.

  4. 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….

    1. 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.

      1. Went C Daniel as wasn’t game enough to take the risk on Maynard or Ridley. Hoping he can match their scores!

  5. 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!

  6. 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

  7. 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.
    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?

    T/U not the worst theory
    T/D Rethink

    1. Morning, Smurf.

      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.

      Hope that helps, good luck.

      1. 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

  8. Is bringing in Hill and Serong a good option?
    Trading Noble and maybe Georgiades (Will give me FWD bench cover)

    13

    1
  9. 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?

    11

    3
    1. 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.

  10. Does anyone else get those annoying pop up ads when you try to view any of the subjects in this chat?

  11. 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.

  12. Does anyone know where I can gamble on SuperCoach markets? I know tab have some markets.

    Thanks in advance!

  13. 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

  14. 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….

    1. 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.

    2. All emergencies do not play in pre game events because of the possibilities of call ups.

  15. You could roll the dice on Corr as a potential keeper or grab Hill or Young as cows.

    1. 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

  16. 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

  17. 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

  18. 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.

  19. 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

    6

    1. I should add that trading Brander to Hill will allow me to take King’s 86. DPP magic at play.

  20. TU: Noble > Caleb Daniel
    TD: C. Taylor >Simpkin (Hold Noble for an extra week and play Rivers on field this week)

  21. 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.

  22. 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

  23. Need some advice, rivers selection means no donut

    T/U Andy Brayshaw > Simpkin
    T/D Viney > Titch

      1. Interesting – surprised by the response to this.
        Hadn’t considered de boer tag – could he maybe go to wingard or jager instead?

  24. After lots of back and fourth and different ideas, to avoid donuts and raise funds I went
    Howe > Maynard
    Fyfe > Simpkin

  25. 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.

  26. 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.

  27. 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.

  28. 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
