    1. Without knowing your full team, it’s a lot harder to make recommendations this time of year but I would say you won’t make full premo, so it’s about finding some value for your final upgrades.

  3. Already trading in Danger. What to do with trade 2:

    T/U: Adams 464k
    T/D: Salem 463k (keep Laird in mids)

    These options give me enough to finally get Grundy next week!

  5. Robertson and Poulter to Danger and Mills. Leaves me 5 trades, $161k and 2 more upgrades to go.

    TU or TD?

    1. Can only take that one as reported. Unfortunately, no sure thing to come back in once recovered. Adds a different element to the defence, but for the moment his job security no great.

      I have him and am holding for the moment, but because his DPP suits my teams structure and I only have 5 trades left.

  6. Full Premo is impossible now
    Do I play it safe and go a cheaper mid hoping that extra cash will help down the track or f*ck it go for the best in the game? After this week 4 trades left
    T/U Docherty Impey ->Mitchell or Guthrie bramble $281 500
    T/D Docherty Impey -> Bont bramble $142 400

  7. Anyone tuning into bringing in the likes of De Goey and Stringer? I can get to either of them (or anyone similarly priced) by trading out Madden only. That way, I’ll be down to 4 trades with still having to turn CCJ into ideally Grundy (or another premium ruck) as the last upgrade.

    TU: Neither is a good option
    TD: Go for it and then…

    1. Probably the only chance is if the game gets moved to Melbourne. That calf won’t get better with an extra plane trip + sitting around waiting for covid tests.

  8. Anyone got any info on the Kane Lambert injury (need to know for draft league)? Not even seen anything from the ever reliable Chaos Theory on his absence.

    1. Not much released by the club except injured (hip/calf), from team sheet.

      There was no reference to Lambert in Richmond injury release on Tuesday.
      If I am able to glean more information I will post in the coaches box.

      Hopefully someone will ask at the post game presser?

  9. Well, had a good plan in place.
    Now madden out for 2 weeks, ccj scores 5 and injured. There goes all my cash gen.

  10. Likely to be some recency bias here but who would you prefer to have for bench coverage for the rest of the season?

    T/U – Weightman
    T/D – CCJ

  11. What do about Docherty ?
    Any news on how I long he’s out?
    Not heaps of cash to trade him

    T/U Ridley
    T/D Hurn

    Any other’s around $490,000

    1. Hey Smurfo.

      I would say he’s out for the season. No reason to rush him back with the Blues only playing for draft picks.

      I do like the Ridley pick if your already full Premo.

      If you’re not yet full Premo you could look at Doc down to Haynes.

      This frees up cash to help with other upgrades. After this weeks carnage ( CCJ 5 Madden , Briggs out ) Cash gen may become a problem.

      Just a thought anyway.

      1. Thanks FT
        Not a bad idea,
        His last 3 have been pretty good,
        and still 1-2 short of full premo

        Thanks to my awesome trade out of
        Goldstein to Reeves, for quick cash
        Total balls up.
        But that’s another story

        Thanks again for the advice

  12. hey guys, I had Colemen Jones on the bench and was going to loop him if he scored good.

    Would you trade L Jones(port) to 102k player and upgrade Weightman to Dangerfield

    OR

    Just field Weightman this week??

    Cheers

  13. Neale news + CCJ horror show has thrown my trade plans to shreds. I’d like to hold Neale but its a big gamble

    T/U – Neale & Flynn to Grundy & Danger (M8) – Weightman F6 instead of looping CCJ

    T/D – Brockman & Weightman to Bramble & Danger. Aim for Flynn to Grundy next week

  14. Two options for me..

    TU: L.Jones out for Ridley, Highmore on field, Poulter bench.
    TD: Wait a week, use the money for CCJ > Danger, Poulter and Highmore on field.

    1. Eddie Ford (NTH) will get a game at some stage, but not playing this week.

      Macrae (COLL) might be named, check updated teamsheets at 5 tonight.

        1. Eddie Ford, already announced as a debutant by the Kangaroos, has not been named in the 22 and will start as the medical substitute.

  15. In a real pickle…
    I have LJones and Impey too upgrade.
    Impey too danger is one move.
    Jones too Haynes requires 1 up 1 down.

    Can someone throw any decent forward or defender rookies at me with decent JS.
    The 1 down will be weightman or Murphy. Preferably hold weightman after CCJs calf injury but need $$$.

    1. Ford (NTH) confirmed to debut this week, should get a decent run.

      Durham (ESS) will eventually play and has handy DPP.

      Walker (FREO) been named for his 3rd game.

      1. Thanks GD!
        What do we know about Durham?

        Ford could be a good get too there was big wraps on him in the pre season.

        1. What a horrible debut. I feel for him and his family. Hope we doesn’t warm the bench for 3 quarters

  16. Laird, Lloyd, Ridley, Short, Whitfield, Jaith (Bianco, Murphy)
    Oliver, Lyons, Steele, Merret, Titch, Jelly, Macrae, Newcombe(Edwards, Bramble, Bruhn)
    Gawndy(Reeves)
    Hall, Dusty, Ziebel, Heeney, Zorko, Waterman( Madden, FMacrae)

    7 trades left .. probably won’t get to full premo

    Thinking to trade Jaith swing Madden back field Bianco and bring in Danger up forward.. thoughts?

    1. I don’t mind holding Jiath. (Especially in your situation)

      He’s looked very good for us recently, getting underscored IMO.

      Look at flogging off a rookie and upgrading a Madden to Danger instead

      1. Thanks Abs, don’t have enough to make that happen unless I upgrade Heeney instead of Madden? Or just trade Madden this week for some cash and upgrade Waterman to Danger next week..

  17. 7 trades remaining and touch and go for a few league top 8’s at the minute. Still have Impey and was planning on looping with CCJ and Briggs this week but that’s gone out the door. Thinking I roll the dice and go Madden >Durham(D8 and can loophole with Laird in the mids) and Impey>Boak via Robertson( Have 580k to spend on a mid)

    TU: Pull the trigger
    TD: Better mid options than bringing in Boak

    1

  18. 5 trades remaining
    Full premo in 3 trades

    TU: Trade Kos and Madden –> Danger and Bramble

    TD: Save the trades

  19. I’m still running with 2 onfield forward rookies – Weightman & Poulter (with Briggs & Madden on bench). Not enough cash for one upgrade (Danger) , so needs to be 2 trades (currently have 6 before any this week).

    TU: Trade out Weighman & Madden this week for Danger & rookie – Poulter at F6 will be my only onfield rookie (unless Neale out – Bianco / Newcombe emerg).

    TD: Run with Weightman & Poulter at F5 & F6 this week, wait another week on Danger.

  20. If I VC Gawn, how much time will I have before the following Adelaide/Brisbane game to swap O’Brien for Reeves as an Emergency captains loop hole.

    I seem to remember last time I faced this scenario the non-adjusted scores were out and then Grundy gained about 15 points to go from 125 to 140 in the adjusted scores. But the adjusted scores came in just after the next game had started and it was too late to do the loophole.

    Is it viable captains loophole in regard to match timings?

    TU: Yes
    TD: No

  21. Left field but…….Connolly – St K (Def/Mid) comes on in 3rd quarter against Tigers. 10 possession last quarter. Saints have injuries.
    Thinking of trading Madden to him. Madden is out for 2 weeks due to injury. Due back at same time as Lester. Bris playing finals, StK may not.
    Is Connolly JS any worse than Madden?

    Thanks coaches

    T/U Madden JS heaps better than Connolly
    T/D it is close

    1. Think Madden’s done. Injury, Lester in the wings.

      Connolly looked great last week, think they’ll continue to reward performances like that.

      1. Thanks GD. My thoughts exactly.
        11 disp & 7 marks @ 82% DE in 30% TOG.
        Hunter Clark injured. Goodbye Madden.

  22. Have 200k in bank seriously considering Patrick Cripps to Walsh. Only 100k more and averaging nearly 30 pts more. 6 trades left so acknowledge it is a luxury trade.

    TU do it, 30 pts extra per game to good to ignore
    TD don’t, Cripps will come good

    1
  23. Team it is full promo except for 3 forwards l need , will aim for danger, Toby green and probably keep Robertson as F 6. Alternatively I could replace Cripps for laird and bring Whitfield in. Would this be better

    TU Whitfield
    TD Walsh

  24. Gonna have to try a unique C to win my league matchup. Who’s more likely to go bigger than Bont?

    T/U: Steele
    T/D: Grundy
    Comment: Ziebell
