We’re a couple of hours away from the first bounce of round 7, but you’ve surely still got some thoughts running through your head? Put them down below!
We’re a couple of hours away from the first bounce of round 7, but you’ve surely still got some thoughts running through your head? Put them down below!
Does everyone secretly love a carnage filled week?
TU- no it’s depressing and stressful.
TD- yeah keeps things interesting and fun.
I feel like it gives lower ranked players more of a chance to rise with up the rankings with some smart trades
Currently have Gawn and Grundy in ruck with S. Hayes coming in as R3. Who to trade Grundy to?
T/up – Preuss which leaves me with $268k for upgrades next week
T/down – Witts or O’Brien which leaves me with $36k or$45k respectively
Shaping up too be a fun week!
Grundy, Darcy, cotchin, marshall Dixon, McCartin, xerri, JHayes, Hewett, pittonet, Jackson, kozi, hinge and ward for all different reasons are unnamed a some being more relevant than others but still now with de goey & WH-E coming down with gastro a potentially late outs…
As well as trying too navigate our way through JHF and racheles high break evens.. hopefully there are not too many more Melbourne players struck down with covid before Saturday night.
I have Hewett, Grundy Dixon, JHayes, xerri, ward and McCartin. Was looking at de goey or Parker and Oliver too but I’ll hold off on him right up til the bounce if possible. Hate to bring him in and he get covid!
Bring on the weekend!
Who to bring into the midfield?
TU – P.Cripps
TD – T.Miller
Really struggling to understand the disparity in votes here! Cripps has a worse bye, already had an injury-affected game (scored 38) and missed 1 week.
Tbf, I’m tossing up between them, but surely we have to respect Touk! He averaged 103 from R1-6 last year (112 this year), and we know what happened next..
Rachele’s scores have gone big, small, small, big, small, small.
Do we expect him to go large against an underwhelming GWS?
TU: Keep him for the cash gen boost, sell Hayes now.
TD: Sell him now, ditch Hayes next week.
Some considerations.
Rachelle an actual warm body this week and could go big v Giants. But more likely to lose cash and trading him enables a Sicily/Heeney type.
Hayes (STK) done for the season but won’t lose any cash this week. Means less cash available though so Houston/Parker types only possible.
Given that, which is best?
TU – Rachelle to Sicily, Hobbs on field
TD – Hayes to Houston, loop Rachelle / Hobbs
If Rachele hits his 67 average, he’ll drop 6k. If he scores 40, he’ll drop 18k.
I can see the merit in holding him, especially with his proven ceiling. Even if he loses 20k now but you commit to holding him until his handy R13 bye, it’s not unlikely he’ll make the money back at some point.
As FD says, a scoring rookie is better than a non-scoring rookie… or something…
Definitely Rachele to Sicily.
Don’t sacrifice a Top 6 DEF for one week’s emergency looping. Rachele is averaging 67 and will lose $$$ this week, worsening your ability to upgrade him next week.
I messed up last week and didn’t get my main trades in on time. Now I’m unable to grab Hayes in due to all of the carnage, as Grundy-Preuss is a no brainer for me.
However, I’m not sure who to bring in down back. Crisp, Pendlebury or Stewart? Crisp is reliable, but last season was the only one he averaged over 100, can he keep that up? Pendlebury getting old, but still solid, perhaps he’ll be rested at some point though? And Stewart is a machine, but rarely gets those big 130+ scores and picks up the odd niggle. Who would you choose?
TU: Crisp
TD: Stewart
Comment: Pendles
Pendlebury?
I was so close to Crisp, but you guys swayed me to Stewart, legends
TU:
Sell Grundy, Xerri and Rachele
Buy Hayes, Petracca and Parker (only 29k ITB for next week).
Leaves me with no FWD bench cover FWD.
TD:
Sell Grundy, Xerri and Hayes
Buy: Oliver, Hayes and Rosas (279 ITB for another upgrade next week).
Leaves me Rachele as an emergency forward on the bench.
You had me at Oliver. That’s the move to make.
Haha! I’m just concerned that Clarry has played his monster game and Petracca may be due… only has to tidy his BE a tad and will go HUUUUGE!
I’d be more concerned that Oliver gets the ‘vid!
F6 options:
TU: Rachele v Giants (in SA)
TD: Durdin v Roos (Marvel)
Help All !
Which one?
TU: Mills
TD: Neale
Who to field
TU – Rachele
TD – Macdonald
After all the carnage, I’m set on:
Grundy to Hayes (R2 until English is back); and
Xerri to Cripps
Do I also use a boost and trade Hayes to Sicily, which through DPP swings will allow me to have one warm body for cover on each line except ruck (Gibcus, NOD, Rachele). Also means I’m playing Sicily and not NOD. No brainer, right?
Looking to pick up my F6.
T/U – Gresham
T/D – Lipinski (better bye for me)
Can you get an extra 35k for Parker?
Gresh has been a handy pick-up at 300k, but seems to have a pretty low ceiling given he’s getting a stack of CBAs.
No doubt Parker has a high ceiling but bit apprehensive of his consistency with scores of 73, 76 and 39. Also tricky as I already have quite a few R13 bye players.
Or do I use SDK DPP to go DEF?
T/U – Houston
T/D – Gresham/Lipinski
Think you need to ask who is going to be more chance of being a keeper and for mine it’s probably Houston
Rachele or Horne to Cripps
TU. Rachele
TD Horne
Who to sell this week, does not effect any of my trades, will sell the other the week after
TU- Rachele
TD- Xerri
Trade Xerri and try loop Rachele
TU: Oliver, Callaghan and 180k for an upgrade next week (have to field 7 rookies this week tho with only 1 available loophole option)
TD: Houston, parker and 15k (only have to field 6 rookies this week and can do loopholes in every line for extra security)
Side note: had a few bad weeks currently sitting at 25,000 in rankings so looking to move up is that better to do with the second option?
TU: Pendles
TD: McGovern (WCE)
Or comment best def under $540k.. for some reason I refuse to consider Short. Maybe cause I didn’t start with him!
Houston – midfield role and DPP
TU: short
TD: Witherdan
TU: Parker
TD: Gresham
Who to trade out?
TU. mcCartin
TD. Horne-Smith
Grundy > Hayes
Rachelle > Cripps
Xerri > Witherden
Having faith in Hayes at r2. This enables me a double upgrade which is needed this week!
Tu or Td
Breaking SC rule but:
Bringing in Clark WC can really play mature age and has good js from here…putting E on him tonight as am confident will out score Horne-Smith M8 . If he does field Ward and bank the points!
My trades:
Out: MCartin/ JHayes/ Xerri
In: Clark/ SHayes/ Neale
Or Rosas instead of Clark if he plays?
Just heard on news that DeGoey and one other Collingwood player has gastro, they will mKe a call just before game time
Help required please all.
Have these 2 options:
TU:
Grundy > Preuss
P McCartin > Brodie
Ward > Cripps
204K remaining
TD:
Grundy > Preuss
P McCartin > Petracca via Daicos to Def
Ward > Cripps
97K remaining
Will be trading in one of these this week –
TU: Sicily – Av 107, BE 70 – would mean SDK or Rosas will be on field
TD: Heeney – Av 115, BE 123 – would mean SDK or NOD will be on field
Poll:
Anyone else bringing in Clark from WCE’s tonight?
As it stands I’m going Clark over Rosas. Keeps my structure in tact and Clark has a better role than Rosas.
Let’s me loop Gibcus, Clark & Rachelle to cover Hewett too.
My thoughts also AB’s. Mature mid who’s been a gun in the WAFL, bog in the granny last year and which WC need desperately atm especially with Yeo’s issues v a forward pocket..
Who to trade for Oliver
TU – Hough
TD – dyl stephens
Tu Cripps
Td oliver
Who scores higher
TU : Gibcus
TD : NOD
Need one of these on the field and can’t loophole.
Is anyone thinking of doing the double of bringing in Preuss and Sam Hayes this week?
TU: Yes, good cash generation option
TD: No, pick one ruck and a rookie in another line e.g. Hobbs
Tu: Luke Parker
Td: Jordan Degoey
My current team
DEF: Crisp, Hewett, Ridley, Bowey, McCartin, O’Driscoll (Sinn, Gibcus)
MID: Macrae, Steele, Neale, Oliver, Crippa, Brodie, N.Daicos, JHF, (D.Stephens, Ward, Hollands)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Dixon)
FWD: Dunkley, Butters. Cogs, Xerri, N.Martin, Rachele (C.MacDonald, Durdin)
$57,000 in the bank, 32 trades left, four trade boosts left
TU – Grundy, Xerri and D.Stephens > Witts, S.Hayes (via Dixon DPP), Vlastuin (via Sinn DDP), $34,800 in the bank
TD – Grundy, Xerri and D.Stephens > Preuss, S.Hayes (via Dixon DPP), Sinclair/Docherty/Sicily (via Sinn DDP), $150k in the bank
TU-Docherty
TD – Sinclair
Comment – Sicily
TU – Sicily
TU: Grundy, Hayes, Xerri to Gawn, Hayes, Rosas(leaves 370k in bank)
TD: Trade to Hayes(means he’s my R2 behind Pruess) Touk and Heeney(40k in the bank) and miss out on Gawn/Rosas
Should I bring in Oliver and Parker if it means fielding both Gibcus and SDK in DEF? Or look to bring in DEF Premo < $500k and loophole Gibcus/SDK?
TU – Risk 2 rookies on field
TD – Bring in Vlastuin (alt?) and loophole
TU: Steele
TD: Cripps
Who to get and better job security and higher score
TU: Rosas
TD: Dempsey
Covering carnage.
TU -Vlaustin
TD – Houston
Thanks!
TU: Cripps
TD: Oliver
Who to bring in
T/U Gawn and Mitchell/Miller
T/D Oliver and Witts/O’Brien
What do we think a good score will be this week?
TU: 2000-2100
TD: 2200+
Something in between?
To Bring in:
TU: Gawn & Parker
TD: Docherty & Heeney
Thanks everyone
Could you guys let me know your reasoning behind the selection?
Gawn will probably outscore Doch and Heeney combined this week…
Parker is great value, Gawn is Gawn, huge score incoming and makes a terrific VC/C option.
Heeney and Doch had great starts but feels like expensive additions with other options viable.
VC/C option Gawn (115) & Parker (95) =210
V
Doch (105) & Heeney (100) = 205
Trade out P.McCartin – only have enough budget to purchase either:
TU: Jordan Dawson
TD: Jake Lloyd
Comment: Should I consider Pendlebury over Lloyd?
I’d go Pendles. Great role and should be a solid 100
How many coaches using 3 trades this week?
TU : Definitely 3 trades to avoid the carnage
TD: Managing with 2 or less
Who to trade in?
TU: Clark m8 if scores poorly MaDonald as cover
TD: Rosas (Field Rosas or SDK)
Who to bring in
T/U rosas
T/D hobbs
What to take tonight with the boys
Tu: speed
Td: coke
Trying to base my trades around R2, bringing in Hayes but could also bring in Preuss to play R2:
Trading out Grundy, Hayes and Rachele
T/U – Oliver, Sam Hayes (R2) and Rosas – 300k on bench
T/D – Preuss (R2), Hayes and Rosas – 600k on bench
Comment – Oliver, Hayes and Preuss
Thanks lads
Last Minute F6 decision
T/U: Dixon
T/D: Dempsey
Trading out Grundy, Xerri and Hinge, which gives me $1,092K and two positions to fill (Hayes is a lock to come in)
TU: Heeney and Sicily
TD: Gawn and Zach Reid ($250 k in the bank for next week)
Comment: Andy Brayshaw and Vlaustin
Trade out:
Ward or
JHF
TU: Field Durdin
TD: Trade Xerri for Parker
Who to bring in
T/U Rosas
T/D S.Hayes
TU : parker
TD : rozee
I know at first glance parker looks the play but rozee if stays in the midfield is an absolute steal and port have done well when his been there the last two games. And saves $80,000
Rosas or Dempsey?
Two-parter – I’m planning on bringing in one of the four players listed below, so please only vote for one of them.
TU this comment: Tom Mitchell (3-rd average 122, $584k)
TD this comment: Ben Keays (3-RA 115, $592k)
TU next comment: Isaac Heeney (3-RA 108, $545k)
TD next comment: Tom Liberatore (3-RA 112, $536k)
TU: Isaac Heeney (3-RA 108, $545k)
TD: Tom Liberatore (3-RA 112, $536k)
Trade one out
TU: McCartin
TD: Durdin
Durdin out means I bring in Parker/Heeney up forward or via dpp either out brings in any premo down back
Cheers!
Part 2 lol
TU: Durdin to Parker
TD: Durdin out, swing McCartin forward, bring in stewert
TU – Trade in Oliver, Hayes and Steel and playing Hayes as second ruck or
TD – Trade in Oliver, Hayes and Gawn and playing Durdin.
Thanks.
I can either trade Rachele to Rosas or upgrade him to Cripps. Is it worth bringing in Rosas (we’ve got Dempsey and Clark on the horizon) or just go ahead with the Cripps upgrade?
TU: Rosas, can get Cripps next week
TD: Cripps, there will be other cows
Thanks!
Can only trade in one
TU – Dunkley
TD- C.Oliver
TU – Parker and Sicily
TD – Oliver and Macdonald (Nth)
Parker
Or
Treloar
Cheers
Durdin to Rosas worth the trade?
TU: Solid trade
TD: Save the trade
Tu: Docherty
TD: Sinclair
Captain
TU: Steele
TD: Macrae
