    1. At their best, easily. On current form, probably 50 points short.

      But they’ll be back to the top tier of scoring sooner rather than later so fingers crossed it’s this week!

    1. I would take a guesstimate they’d score @180 based on average..

      Personally ditching Steele, so in that case he will go 260 alone now!

  1. I believe I nailed it, you’ll be the judge 😉
    Outs: Dusty to Nic Martin
    Ward to Cripps
    Chapman to Hewitt ($115,800 in the bank)

    1. I like it Steve! Looking at something very similar this week myself, although not with the leftover $$$.

      1. Cheers Dane
        Unfortunately I had to use my first booooooster but when your’re averaging 2,318 you have to keep the momentum going or it’s good bye Charlie 🙂

    1. I’m not a technological person at all, but I get none(mobile and PC) . So there must be a way to block them.

    2. Use Brave browser. Added benefit is they give you a little bit of cryptocurrency for using it as well.

  2. TU:
    Out: Whitfield and Berry
    In: Bowey and Cripps
    Remaining Cash: $104K

    TD:
    Out: Whitfield
    In: Hewitt
    Remaining Cash: $157K

  3. TU – Whitfield, Chapman and Owens –> Hewitt, Bowey and Brodie
    TD – Whitfield and Mcgovern –> Hewitt and Brodie

    Thoughts community, would probably rather hold mcgovern than chapman but would also rather get brodie in over bowey.

    Other option is could go Hinge over Bowey as i didnt start Hinge.

  4. Head scratcher. I have all the rookies I’d like & only have $35k left before trades

    TU – Whitfield & Chapman > Hewett & Bowey (miss out on Cripps & Heeney)
    TD – Whitfield, Gawn & M.Owens > Hewett, L.Jacobsen & Cripps (Chapman D4)

  5. Whitfield’s ownership has already dropped from 51% to 35%, I’m assuming many hold their trades until they know teams too so may drop to 25%. Not really a query but I’m excited to hold him as a form of POD.

    1. Agree. So many posts are trading Whitfield. He is already cheap and should bounce back. Hold fire I think.

    2. Concerned about chatter that Whitfield carrying an injury. GWS have terrible record with respect to transparency. He looked like he couldn’t run last week.

  6. TU:
    Gawn – English
    Berry – Cripps
    Ward – D.Stephens

    TD:
    Gawn – Witts
    Berry – Cripps
    Owens – D.Stephens

    Honestly would love to only do 1x trade with Owens to D.Stephens but unfortunately I have no money.

  7. Gov > Xerri
    Steele > Cripps
    Chapman > Hall

    Yes I know I don’t love the idea of chopping Steele, however it saves me roughly 230k which enables me to bring in hall. I am not taking a risk down back and trading Chapman sideways! Hope that makes sense…

  8. Bowey worth the hype? One good game and everyone goes nuts. Could be wrong but not risking a trade.

  9. Do we trust Luke Beverage to keep English in the ruck when he’s got a fairly decent ruckman as an Emergency and Cordy at CHF?

    TU – English stays in ruck

    TD – Don’t trust Beverage

  10. Been stuck on this all week

    TU – Gawn/Whitfield/Berry to English/Hewett/Cripps

    TD – Steele/Whitfield/Berry to Boak/Hewett/Cripps

  11. Why is everyone trading out Berry?

    He is performing nearly as expected, he is averaging 70 with an injury affected game, I was hoping for 80-95 which he would have achieved without that injury.

    TU – performing less than expected
    TD – unlucky one to be cut for cash elsewhere

  12. Steele to Cripps

    TU – Yes
    TD – Keep the faith in Steele

    Also trading:
    Whitfield to Hewett
    Tarrant to Heeney

  13. Whitfield to:
    TU: Hewett (Cash itb and cash growth)
    TD: Hall (Proven premium and no bank left)

  14. Quick double check – Xerri has a -77 BE. Am I correct in assuming that if he scores 100, his price will rise about $90K??? – so he will be roughly $300K next week … or is the calculation higher than 50% – closer to 70% or something? ??
    Thanks for thoughts …

      1. Thanks CT – so its about 50% … ie -77 +100 = 177 / 2 = roughly $90K … maybe a bit less? ….

        Hmmmmm is it better to grab points (eg Hewett / Cripps) in the hope that they are keepers (and value at low $) … or better to grab a Xerri at a lower price point before that first big rise????

        Maybe we should have polled this???

  15. Bit of a risk, could go safer but:

    TU: Whitfield, Berry, McGovern –> Petracca, Cripps, 102k non playing def DPP rookie (will be my only non-playing rookie)
    TD: Whitfield, Berry, McGovern –> Brayshaw, Cripps, Skinner

  16. Would love some advice on potential moves

    TU: Whitfield, Chapman, Baldwin -> Hewett, Bowey, Xerri

    TD: Whitfield, Chapman, Berry -> Hewett, Gibcus, Cripps

    I realise Gibcus isn’t ideal but wondering if Cripps warrants it.

    Thanks!

    1. Go Wanganeen Mileria over Gibcus.

      Cheaper, Better role and his coach just said some nice things about him that seem to suggest job security

  17. Would love some advice as follows:
    Have Preuss as R3 (Grundy/Witts as R1/R2)

    Thinking of trading Preuss to Jackson(Fwd) whilst moving Hayes through DPP to R3

    Thumbs up – do it
    Thumbs down – save it

  19. Not much wrong with my team but I am afraid of not having Cripps.
    Half scared that Hewett scores > Whitfield.
    However trades……valuable trades.
    Is my team significantly enhanced by doing any of the following trades?

    -Whitfield,Berry, Ward
    +Cripps, Hewett, N Long

    -Whitfield, Berry, Ward
    + Cripps, Bowey, Xerri (via dpp)

    -Whitfield, Berry
    +Cripps, Bowey

    TU – Yes – one of those trades is worth it
    TD – Team is not enhanced enough to use trades

  23. 216k in the bank
    Ryan, Short, Whitfield, Sicily,
    Hewitt, Mccartin, (Gibcus, De Koning)

    Macrae, Neale, Cripps, Rowell, Lipinski,
    Berry, Daicos, Owens, ( Ward, McDonald, Stephens)

    Gawn, Witts (Dixon)

    Dunkley, Treloar, Butters, Cogs,
    Brodie, Martin( Hayes, Durdin)
    Any thoughts on a trade?
    I’ve resisted sideways trading Gawn and Whitfield so far.
    TU Berry, Owens to Jackson, JHF/Xerri
    TD Whitfield, Berry to Bowey, Brayshaw
    Not really sure on what Bowey or Jackson will average. Is Jackson a potential top 10 forward. Too many options

    1. I think you have a very good team.
      Berry and Whitfield are under performing.
      Its very sideways but I think Caldwell is a better option than Berry now that Merrett is on the sidelines for an extended period.
      I’ve been burnt with GWS players previously (Kelly, Whitfield, Green) and the coach does some strange things. I’ve only got Coniglio because of his fwd status and his price.
      Nice to move Whitfield on and get to Aaron Hall or Lloyd if you have the cash.
      Good luck

  24. I have cash to go from Baldwin to Xerri. Is it worth paying 90k to go to Xerri? Thinking Xerri needs to make 400k to make that worthwhile…

    T/U yes
    T/D no

    14

    1
  25. TU: Whitfield -> Hewitt
    TD: Chapman -> Hewitt

    Whitfield higher potential but will likely lose cash
    Chapman lower scoring but will likely make cash
    First league game is 50/50
    Help!

  27. What trade is more important?
    Going to keep Whitfield hoping
    he will turn it around.

    Tu:Chapman(D4)> Hewitt.( 1 trade)
    Td: Baldwin > N Martin
    Berry( M6) > Cripps. (2 trades)

  29. Opinions please:

    TU: Whitfield & H Dixon > Hewett & Xerri
    or
    TD: as above PLUS Berry > Bowey (via Hewett DPP)
    Had Cripps & Martin from the start
    Many thanks

  30. Already done McGov to Xerri:

    T/U Hold Trades
    T/D – Whitfield & Durdin to Bowey & Cripps – Leaves my mid bench as JHF, Ward & MacDonald (is this too much on the bench?)

  31. Should I make these changes?

    IN: Hall, L. Jackson, Xerri & 110k
    OUT: Whitfield, Gawn, Hough (via DPP)

    1. this is the exact trade i’m planning on doing too!

      I’m also scouring the feed for the approval I need… half of me is saying ‘leave as is’ and the other half is saying ‘strike while the iron is hot!’

  33. Gawn/ Rowell/ Chapman

    To

    Preuss/ Cripps/ Hall

    I think Preuss can average the same as Gawn who’s sharing the ruck with Jackson? Thoughts

    5

    6
    1. Do we think Preuss will play every week or perhaps in and out alternating with Flynn depending on match-ups and being rested Etc?

      TU Preuss will be in and out
      TD Preuss plays every week if not injured

  34. Thinking about using a trade boost going Owens to Hinge just for money generation. Would mean Rachele into mid (and can replace Ward on field) De koning fwd (replaced by N. Martin) and Hinge on bench (or switch with chapman)

    Would allow more dpp swing between the lines for future also. Hope that makes sense!

    TU – Worth it
    TD – Waste of a trade and a boost and leaving you with less cash in the bank.

  36. I’ve got Whitfield + Chapman > Hewett & Bowey locked in.
    Up in the air about this one

  38. Whitfield to Ryan is a luxury trade i can facilitate this week, is it worth doing (I am inclined to offload shitfield, his past two games against Suns is what i am having second thoughts on).

    TU: Worth it.
    TD: Save the trade.

  39. Can Hugh Dixon still be named with this health and safety protocol stuff?
    Is it safe to use him as a captain’s loop hole?

    0

    0
    1. Wondering the same thing!

      Have Oliver VC and no loop at the moment (pending Dixon).

      TU – put the C on Miller (plays before Eagles team sheet comes out)
      TD – put the C on Dixon and if he’s named, put the C on Cripps

      3

      11
  40. TU: Play safe with Oliver’s VC 146
    TD: Gamble on Neale going massive (or at least as well) against Roos mids with soft tag.

  41. Bit of a head scratcher here.

    I have the VC on Clarry, Owens as a loop but the E on Dylan Stephens and his 23 point stinker.

    TU – VC and Stephens
    TD – C on Neale and Ward on field.

  42. Looks like set forget captain ruck strategy is dead. Which is great for uniqueness in teams.
    Next year is all about the value. It’s been creeping in, but now I think it’s locked in as the way forward in coming seasons.
    Sticking with grawndy this year till full premo.
    Have 3 value rucks on the line cheaper than the big 2-3 combined is what I’ll be doing most likely from this point on.
