3 trades left, $129k in the bank. Carrying CCJ & Madden on the FWD bench and have Weightman at F6. Not sure whether to hold or trade him to get to full keeper.
TU: Hold Weightman F6 for now and save the 3 trades
TD: Trade Weightman to Rowan Marshall (gets me to full premo/keeper and 2 trades left for the remainder of the season)
Currently have Ziebell, Danger, Dusty, Langford, Stringer and Weightman (CCJ & Madden). Kicking myself I didn’t get Hall or Zorko when they were cheaper.
Langford and Stringer probably leave me a bit exposed from a consistency point of view.
Like that thinking for sure. Downgrading CCJ to a 102k rookie sounds like the right plan to eventually upgrade Weightman. Given CCJ is just bench warming with a zero this week, I might hold fire on a trade for a week or 2 and then if a $102k rookie gets selected (i.e. Durham), then I can trade down to them. Cheers Gunboat.
Dogs been very circumspect with their rookies, particularly long term FWD prospects.
They’ll give JUH a go this week with Naughton out, but it’s very possible they bring him back to the 2s and prime him for next year – just like they did with Weightman. Even he does go well and gets a few more games, key FWD rookies often come out for rests.
Considering all that and his elevated price, I wouldn’t go early on him.
For CCJ downgrades this week, see if you can DPP Durham in or if Ford or F. Macrae are named.
Hi all, almost completed my team
Last week I traded Kosi & Weightman > Danger & Durham
Before trades this week I have 6 trades left and $6,800 ITB.
Any advice/feedback would be greatly appreciated.
DEF: Laird, Mills, Stewart, Whitfield, Lloyd, Short (Madden, Durham)
MID: Macrae, Oliver, ZMerrett, Jelly, Titch, Walsh, Newcombe, Bianco (Brockman, Downie, Bramble)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Reeves)
FWD: Ziebell, Dangerfield, Dusty, Greene, Langford, Bolton (Treacy, Waterman)
Maybe cash in on Madden and Treacy this week, build a little bank and then do a MID upgrade when your ITB and Bianco/Newcombe can combine for someone serviceable.
Hey GD,
Was suggested to go Madden & Treacy to Sharp and $102,400 rookie. Moving Bianco to Def bench and Brockman Fwd bench. Would have $266,400 for next week. Any suggestions on the $102,400 rookie?
Is Ridley good again?
Thinking CCJ>Ridley via dpp, and switch Laird to mids for the rest of the year
If I get luxury trades could ditch Daniel or Short later
Or should I go all out and get a 500-600k M8
Langford completely shot with Stringer returning and reducing him to single digit CBs.
Sounds crazy, but yeah: flick Langford for Danger. Weightman will get to 350k, then you can grab Butters or, if you can get the cash together, even Dunkley.
Trying to work out if I am better off keeping Highmore or CCJ – one needs to be traded this week for an upgrade & to avoid a donut in the fwd line.
TU: Keep Highmore – stays as my D7 & trade out CCJ (lose my F/R swing)
TD -Keep CCJ – stays as my F7 & R3 via Edwards, & trade out Highmore, Bianco is moved to D7, can swing with Durham.
I was keyed in on Grundy after his pseudo-price drop but thought I’d take a look at Darcy’s numbers as they are priced similarly. Darcy seems to have a sub-ton sprinkled in every month or so and he won’t get to play Carlton every week (193 last week bumps his average up).
Looked at these two this week as well. Numbers are similar, but gut feel suggests that grundy is priced towards his bottom and darcy at his peak. I also don’t quite trust Darcy as a resilient option based on his injury history, could easily drop a game or two before the end of the year.
Facing a donut but only 4 trades left. Can’t justify B Dale as my last upgrade as that takes 2 trades. So to only use 1 trade – who is my F6
TU – H McKay
TD – J Darling
Comment if I should use 2 trades to bring in B Dale (already have Danger, Zorko, Dusty, Ziebell & Hawkins). Team would be full premium but with only 2 trades remaining for injuries )
It seems by your forwards, that you have avoided all the more risky picks so far. Greene . Heeney. Stringer . Langford. etc..
this gives me more confidence that 2 trades may be enough.
It’s also dependent on the injury profile of the rest of your team ?
Do you have a Neale . Guthrie . Cripps ?
If so hold a trade until we know for certain if they’re fully fit.
It also really comes down to cover. If you have a playing F7, I would go Dale.
If you have no real cover , go the more conservative route, and save $ trades get a cheap F6 now, and a decent M9/F7 down the track.
Hi – yes I do have Neale, with mid bench of Bianco (who can DPP with H Sharp in backline) plus Bramble & Newcombe. Highmore D7. Forward line is the problem, with Poulter, CCJ & Briggs all not playing.
If I make the 2 trades required to get B Dale, Poulter & CCJ will be the outs. Cheap rookie trade in will have to be Ginnivan or the like, as not really any playing forward rookies which is problematic.
May just keep an eye on main matchups today and take the donut and hope to find a playing forward rookie next week, and decide on F6 then.
If i had a VC fail and score 90. Then I popped the C on Laird and he scored 123 , I would go phew, ( wipes forehead ) and be happy with it.
I’ve already been caught out trying to get cute passing on a 120 this year. I tried getting a bigger score from Grundy, that was the time he got injured.
I have limited money left should I go CCJ to
TU: De Goey to save money
TD: Marshall
I have Heeney and Langford in my forward line so I’m not sure if i should go for another budget/riskier pick in De Goey (granted Marshall is risky too but he has a stronger history and can be DPP cover)
Should I put Taranto on the bench and loophole L Edwards so I can get Brambles 120 score. I know this is potentially very risky as Edwards is names 1st emerg on Mon night
Yes do it, Taranto won’t get near 120
No too risky, trust Taranto
3 trades left, $129k in the bank. Carrying CCJ & Madden on the FWD bench and have Weightman at F6. Not sure whether to hold or trade him to get to full keeper.
TU: Hold Weightman F6 for now and save the 3 trades
TD: Trade Weightman to Rowan Marshall (gets me to full premo/keeper and 2 trades left for the remainder of the season)
Hey, Nigel.
Personally, I’m not too hot on RoMo. Only 64% TOG last week and plantar fascia injuries can be re-aggravated very easily.
Do you have Ziebell, Hall, Danger and Zorko? They’re the four must-have FWDs rn.
If you’ve got all of them, I’d pass on RoMo, let Weightman make some more coin and then grab Butters or Dunkley when they’re ripe after a game or two.
Thanks Gunboat. Helpful thoughts re RoMo.
Currently have Ziebell, Danger, Dusty, Langford, Stringer and Weightman (CCJ & Madden). Kicking myself I didn’t get Hall or Zorko when they were cheaper.
Langford and Stringer probably leave me a bit exposed from a consistency point of view.
Think Stringer is a solid pick, has that OB role – but that’s come at the expense of all of Langford’s CBAs.
If F6 is your last spot, given you don’t need CCJ on field and have a healthy bank, this week you could go:
CCJ -> 102k rookie
(303k ITB)
Weightman -> FWD premo up to 614k
Or, and this would be my preference, just do the CCJ downgrade this week, then let Weightman make a bit more coin and grab Zorko or Dunkley later.
Like that thinking for sure. Downgrading CCJ to a 102k rookie sounds like the right plan to eventually upgrade Weightman. Given CCJ is just bench warming with a zero this week, I might hold fire on a trade for a week or 2 and then if a $102k rookie gets selected (i.e. Durham), then I can trade down to them. Cheers Gunboat.
If that number one draft pick ugle-something is playing do you think he keeps his spot for rest of season? Could swap him for CCJ
I wouldn’t go on him early, Glen, no.
Dogs been very circumspect with their rookies, particularly long term FWD prospects.
They’ll give JUH a go this week with Naughton out, but it’s very possible they bring him back to the 2s and prime him for next year – just like they did with Weightman. Even he does go well and gets a few more games, key FWD rookies often come out for rests.

Thanks GD . Always good advice. Good luck this weekend
You too, Glen.
Catch ya.

Hey, JJ. Solid team.
Maybe cash in on Madden and Treacy this week, build a little bank and then do a MID upgrade when your ITB and Bianco/Newcombe can combine for someone serviceable.
Hey GD,

102k downgrade options and you’ve already got Durham, hmm. Let me think.
Best I can think of would be F. Macrae at 112k?
See if anyone pops up when teamsheets drop in an hour.
I’ll repost here if I think of anyone.
There’s whispers Ginnivin may get a game soon.
I think he kicked 3-4 goals in the two’s a few weeks ago?
102k M/F Collingwood.
I wouldn’t put my house on him getting a game but his DDP will come in handy.
I’m not sure how many late games Collingwood play ?
He may not be great as a loop ?
Brockman and Madden have been named. What should I do now? Do I hold this week?
Ok JJ
Hold Madden and Brockman.
I would still go Waterman to Sharp via Brockman
Sharp should score more than Newcombe or Bianco and you free up some cash for next week.
Good luck.
Sorry Newcombe not named.
Start Bianco and Sharp 😉
What about Treacy and his high BE?
Yeah maybe go Treacy to Sharp.
Hold Waterman.
Is Ridley good again?
Thinking CCJ>Ridley via dpp, and switch Laird to mids for the rest of the year
If I get luxury trades could ditch Daniel or Short later
Or should I go all out and get a 500-600k M8
Ridley not a must have, no.
Cunnington, Zerrett, Wines, Walsh and Danger all are sub-600k and great options.
Keep Laird as a DEF and grab one of them.
Decision time before tonight’s lockout. Trading Lachie Jones
TU : Haynes.
TD: Newman.
You know what to do, Mav….
Newman locked in GD
Who to replace CCJ with?
TU: Dale
TD: De Gory and have $59k more for future trades
6 trades left before trades so can afford to sideways Langford.
TU: CCJ + Langford -> Danger + Sharp
TD: CCJ + Weightman -> Danger + Sharp
Langford completely shot with Stringer returning and reducing him to single digit CBs.
Sounds crazy, but yeah: flick Langford for Danger. Weightman will get to 350k, then you can grab Butters or, if you can get the cash together, even Dunkley.
I agrre GD.
Danger a must get and Weightman still making cash.
Trying to plan my trades so I don’t get priced out of Grundy. Can anyone tell me projected prices for the following?
Grundy (BE 95) if he scores 120
Grundy if he scores 150
Zac Smith (BE 34) if he scores 40
Zac Smith if scores 70
Thanks!
Its about $4.5K for every 10 points.
up or down.
Need some help,
TU – Danger
TD – Walsh
Iv been trying to bring walsh in all year but have never had the chance. But leaning to Danger as Walsh worries me against a tag.
The trade would be H.Jones > Sharp and then Jordon to either Danger or Walsh.
Thoughts?
Danger has a lower BE and you’d think will outscore Walsh (Especially if he gets attention)
Is it to finish off your mids?
It wouldnt quite complete my mids, I would have sharp on field as my final rookie.
Think il go Danger.
Walsh facing guaranteed tags from O’Connor and Dunstan and maybe even De Boer in R23 if he’s back.
Grab Danger, looking deadly.
Is sharp JS solid? Is he a must rookie?
If you definitely need his cash gen to finish your team, yeah he’s the best rookie going around.
got a risky trade scenerio
in – danger, connolly
out – short, CCJ
got the trades to do it. Leaves 202k in the bank for next week to go almost full prem.
Do I trade out Madden in order to do my final upgrade if it means no bench cover on that line?
Yes
No
Who to trade to get to Danger
Tu: Weightman
Td: D Robertson
TU: Marshall
TD: de Goey
Cmnt: buddy/Hawkins
Trying to work out if I am better off keeping Highmore or CCJ – one needs to be traded this week for an upgrade & to avoid a donut in the fwd line.
TU: Keep Highmore – stays as my D7 & trade out CCJ (lose my F/R swing)
TD -Keep CCJ – stays as my F7 & R3 via Edwards, & trade out Highmore, Bianco is moved to D7, can swing with Durham.
Do I want sharp as a bit of cover due to only 2 trades left and 60k
or prefer a 102 k rookie and 100 k to spend
T/U – Sharp and 60k
T/D – 102k rookie and 100k
Last on-field upgrade for R2:
TU: Grundy
TD: Darcy
I was keyed in on Grundy after his pseudo-price drop but thought I’d take a look at Darcy’s numbers as they are priced similarly. Darcy seems to have a sub-ton sprinkled in every month or so and he won’t get to play Carlton every week (193 last week bumps his average up).
Looked at these two this week as well. Numbers are similar, but gut feel suggests that grundy is priced towards his bottom and darcy at his peak. I also don’t quite trust Darcy as a resilient option based on his injury history, could easily drop a game or two before the end of the year.
I Like Grundy . Plays Carlton next week 😉
Yeah, those factors definitely came into consideration – ended up going Grundy in the end.
Something I’ve never been able to figure out whilst playing SC, does anyone know how to swap 3 DPP’s without using a trade?
I want to loophole Waterman tonight, however I need to do the following which doesn’t seem possible.
Briggs from Def to Fwd
H. Sharp from Mid to Def
Holmes from Fwd to Mid
Any advice on this please?
They can only be swapped with matching DPP statuses, so unfortunately you can’t shuffle just those players without burning at least one trade.
Still unsure whether I risk it and bring in Danger, or look to save some injury trades.
Which combo is best
T/U – Danger & Sub $500k premo (Fyfe, Marshall, Adams) – 1 trade left
T/D – McCluggage & Marshall/De Goey – 2 trades left
Who should I put the VC on??
Steele
or
Merrett
Cheers
Only got $480k to spend and have narrowed it down to these two
TU – Dale
TD – Marshall
Is O’Connor going to tag Walsh and if so, how much will it curtail Walsh‘a scoring
Is it worth going all out to get Danger by cashing in Dev Rob and Poulter? Would mean having to play either Treacy or Waterman at F6 though.
TU – yes, Danger a must have
TD – keep Dev Rob and get Dale instead
Do I trade madden to Hawkins today or wait and see how madden scores this weekend?
Tu trade
Td hold off
Need some help lads and ladies,
Should i…
TU- Take lairds 123 vc score
Or
TD- Captain Macrae
Cheers.

I’m taking Lairds score.
The highest wealth, is the absence of greed.
Seneca. ( some old roman bloke )
Wise words FT.
I think il take lairds score too.
But sometimes you cant help but wonder.
I know..
The way I look at is..
If i had a VC fail and score 90. Then I popped the C on Laird and he scored 123 , I would go phew, ( wipes forehead ) and be happy with it.
I’ve already been caught out trying to get cute passing on a 120 this year. I tried getting a bigger score from Grundy, that was the time he got injured.
Once bitten twice shy 😉
Yeah i remember that round. Exact dame thing happened to me. Haha.
Take watermans score or risk bramble?
You have to take a 66
Bramble ave 59
Bank it!
Cheers
Who to bring in
TU – Grundy
TD – Danger
Whos current ruck?
Who for VC?
TU Jelly
TD Danger
Thanks Coaches
I have limited money left should I go CCJ to
TU: De Goey to save money
TD: Marshall
I have Heeney and Langford in my forward line so I’m not sure if i should go for another budget/riskier pick in De Goey (granted Marshall is risky too but he has a stronger history and can be DPP cover)
What to do with Luke Edwards after two poor scores?
TU: cash out now and make upgrades
TD: Hold, he’ll bounce back against North Melbourne at Optus
He won’t play will he?
Take Waterman’s 66
Or field Heeney
Hey everyone!
I’ve had some great feedback in thr Trade Talk page but I’m looking here for some final help with a trade situation.
I’m using 1 trade to move CCJ. Not sure if I should go De Goey or wait a week on Bolton.
TU: De Goey
TD: Bolton
Thanks!
Can anyone tell me Jelly averages vs GCS?
Have bramble that I can loop in and put jelly on the bench!
Cheers lads
JELLY v Suns
L3 v Suns: 106, 124, 138 (123 av.)

Should I put Taranto on the bench and loophole L Edwards so I can get Brambles 120 score. I know this is potentially very risky as Edwards is names 1st emerg on Mon night
Yes do it, Taranto won’t get near 120
No too risky, trust Taranto
T/U Take Bramble score (using F.Macrae loophole) as his playing VFL today.
T/D risk Pendlebury going big today
