  1. Gawn and titch out for mills and Parker.
    Will be running Goldy and Cameron home in the rucks. Can sideways either later on.

    1. Did Pendles to Sinclair this round. He was always going to be a D7/M9 cover anyway but i was able to do it with one trade with the left over cash I had so will find a back up later if needed.

  2. Thinking of getting in Port’s B Teakle but it’s not urgent. TU if he’s got good job sercurity…TD if it might only be a short term stay.

    1. Do you need him to play long term though? If your team is nearly done then an R3 that isn’t playing can be almost more helpful as a guaranteed loop and him having dpp allows for English to cover the rucks as needed.

  3. Current rank of 1400 and thinking of going all out and bringing in some big guns this week to get 21 on field.

    Gawn/Brodie/Carroll to Witts/English/Clarke

    Leaves R2 and F6 still to fill with 10 trades left. Would have the cash from SDK/Hobbs/Hayes/Jamieson to facilitate those upgrades.

    TU – go for it, Witts and English are must haves
    TD – nah, Brodie should be kept, find some value ins

    1. Gawn and Carroll to Witts and Clarke still puts you in a pretty strong position this week and you can wait for the 80 to cycle out of English’s price

  4. Is laird really worth the extra 75k over Keays? Ben has only dropped under the 100 once and it was a 96.

    TU: laird
    TD: keays

    1. I really like both but if you increase the cut off a bit to 115, Laird has dropped below that twice while Keays hasn’t reached it 8 times. Laird is the third highest averaging SuperCoach player and is a solid captain option every week so gives a bit more but if you don’t have the cash and want the slightly poddier choice, Keays is a great option anyway.

      1. Thanks Johnno.
        you make a good point about a Higher floor with laird just a 75k saving is handy could be the difference between a combo of laird cogs or keays English…

  5. Last week traded McComb & McCartin to Sinclair & Owens
    My current team:
    DEF: Sicily, Sinclair, Hewett, Crisp, Ridley, N.Daicos (Sinn, Wehr)
    MID: Oliver, Neale, Laird, Parish, Macrae, Miller, Cripps, G.Clark (C.MacDonald, M.Rioli, Owens)
    RUC: English, Gawn (S.Hayes)
    FWD: Dunkley, Brodie, Parker, Cogs, Butters, Durdin (Jeffery, Hollands)
    $61,800 in the bank, 17 trades left, three trade boosts left
    Have no idea what to do, suggestions are very much appreciated.

    1. Could start with Gawn to Witts, Hayes to Teakle, MacDonald to D’Ambrosio, G. Clark to a premium defender via N. Daicos. Dale and Cumming good options if you can’t afford Stewart.
      Could then almost straight swap Daicos to Petracca in a week or two depending on price/breakeven.
      To complete your team could try and bring in Darcy for Jeffrey (will probably need 2 downgrades) and swing English forward.
      That will take 8-9 trades and 2 boosts but would give you full premium in about 3 weeks.

  6. Cue in the rack this week with only 15 starters now Parish out, after wins r12/13. Nice to not have to worry about anything…other than injuries. Who knows…there might be a miracle !!

  7. Affects my VC decision
    Is Macrae most likely going to be tagged by De Boer / Aish?

    TU – Likely
    TD – They’ll go to Bont / Libba

    1. GWS haven’t really tagged midfielders under the new coach. Only player was Rich being tagged by De Boer cause De Boer can’t really go with a midfielder for a full game anymore. Regardless, Macrae is less likely to be tagged than the other two

  8. TU: Ryan & Butters (had it with these two) for Cogs & Himmelberg
    TD: Ryan, Butters & Daicos to Laird, Mills, & Clarke.
    Comment: None of the above, save your trades.

    Either the position change for GWS is real with the new coach, or it’s just trading 2 high ceiling, low consistency guys for 2 of the same, and keep Daicos around. Number of trades not an issue and need to make some ground.

      1. Nah he had an 84 week before last. 8/12 of his games have been sub 100 with 6 (half) of them sub 80. Unless someone from Freo wants to tell me he has turned a corner, I’m selling high on him before he goes back to that form.

    1. I think Stewart is set to lose about $45-50k over the next two weeks, so maybe try to grab him then? That’s my plan, at least.

  9. T/U:
    Gawn -> Coniglio
    Clark -> Docherty
    Durdin -> Teakle

    T/D:
    Gawn -> Witts
    Clark -> Docherty
    SDK -> D’Ambrossio

    Cheers legends

  10. T.U: Finish team this week with Hawkins F6 in 3 trades (9 left)

    T.D: Finish team next week with Bont F6 in 5 trades (7 left)

    Basically whether Bont is worth the extra week and 2 trades.

      1. Hey, LG.

        Yeah, started him last year and know he’s F1 if cooking with gas – even with that AC joint issue.

        Just 4 rookie downgrades for 1 premo (5 total) feels f*cking unconscionable.

        1. Hey GD!

          Yeah I just took a whizz at your team and I get where you’re coming from with needing 5 trades to bring in the Bont.

          I had Hawkins last year, and he was pretty consistent especially at the cattery. You might get away with him although I just think Bont presents himself as a must have when the forward line isn’t necessarily flush with options. 7 trades to work with is still pretty good and you’re only going to use them in instances where injuries occur. GL either way

    1. Similar boat GD. Could use my last boost to bring in Bont this week for Rosas but will hold till next week as it will hopefully be $30k less and make it easier to go Daicos to Petracca the following week.
      The extra money this time of year allows for better loophole players and luxury trades.

    2. Is there a way to use a stepping stone player like himmelburg or another low break even non rookie to get you to Bont in fewer trades?

  11. Got 17 named, so reckon I’ll pull the trigger on a “luxury” trade of Dylan Moore. Gives me an 18th player this week (~100pts) plus whatever my upgrade target outscores him by on the run home.

    Don’t have Parker, so he’s the obvious target.

    Am I crazy for considering Libba though?

    TU: Parker (break even with most other sides)
    TD: Libba (POD option)

    1. I’m in a similar spot. Have 6 non rookie defenders but missing Stewart and Sicily so I’m trading him to Stewart. Does ruin my main trade plan of Darcy Cameron to English but guess that can wait for Grundy to come back now.

  12. TU- Trade in donut 102k FWD/DEF for Mccartin to be able to cover both FWD and DEF if required for run home

    TD- Trade in D’Ambrosio

    3

  13. Last spot…..
    TU: Get Himmelberg now for cash gen and potentially decent scoring and then sideways to Bont for finals
    TD: Wait a week and get Bont with an extra trade

  14. Just realised Greg Clarke is emergency. Is it time too trade?! BE is still so low though which is why it’s not straight forward. . I could trade Owens instead but uses another 100k which is alot..

    TU: trade clarke
    TD: Trade Owens

    He’s my way up too laird, mills or jelly for a pod

  15. Gawn-English is a given but is it worth going Owens-Teakle as well?

    Owens will struggle to get back in I reckon with Steele/Billings/Clark coming back, and Teakle provides an extra player this week as well as the flexibility to swap English around.

    TU – yes, Owens will struggle to get back, DPP flex is great
    TD – no, the money made is not worth it, waste of a trade

  16. Tu: Bont

    Td: Parker

    Will likely get both, but just after a Gawn replacement for this week. Feel like the consensus will be for Bont, but any particular reason? Ownership? Consistency?

  17. Should I be worried about Bont’s shoulder and high BE? Leaning more towards trading in Parker this week instead, then wait on Bont until I’m ready to pull the pin on Butters, or if I need to switch English to ruck to replace Preuss if he’s rested again.

    TU – trade in Bont & rookie this week (Daicos and WCE Clark out) 20 onfield
    TD – trade in Parker & rookie this week (Rosas and WCE Clark out) 19 onfield and hold Daicos awhile longer. Love the thought of having him as a bench Def/Mid.

  18. Current trade plans I’ll end up with 7 “premo” FWDS

    Bont, Dunkley, English, Butters, Cameron, Brodie, Parker

    Worth trading one with my boost to get Stewart?

    T/U – Brodie or Cameron to Stewart this week
    T/D – Wait a week and reasses + Stewart price drop

    1. If you are going to trade anyone it should be Cameron and this week is the week to do it if you care about overall as you get +1 premium score

  19. Posted this in trade talk but just trying to get the most feedback with Witherden out changing my plans:

    TU: Witherden to Stewart
    TD: Cameron to English

    11

  20. TU: Gawn, Martin & McDonald -> Bont, Hawkins & Ambrosio
    Gives full premo for R15 and will have six trades left

    TD: Gawn -> Bont and save a couple of trades

    English moves to Ruck in both options

  21. Got a bunch of trades left and trying to improve overall rank so thinking of taking a risk

    Out Cameron + Clarke
    In: Hawkins and Himelburg

    That gives me a complete team with 11 trades left.

    TU: Good move go for it
    TD: too risky, get a reliable sideswap and go complete in a few weeks

    1. Not sure the make up of the rest of your team JSG. But I think both of Hawkins and himmelberg is too risky.. I like the risk reward of himmelberg as ya have plenty of trades but I’d wait it out and finish the forward line with someone else instead of Hawkins though… To much of a headache if they both bust

      1. I have a complete team with Clarke, McComb and O’driscoll all ready to cash out.

        11 trades left. After bringing in Hawkins and Himmelburg.

        I should have enough cash/trades to use Hawkins as a high ceiling F7 loop. After adding 1 more premo (just for kicks)

    1. Azza since it’s first game for both I would choose the one where you have another player as cover in case they don’t hold their spot. Toss of the coin but potentially Ambrosio’s extra $20k could help too?

  22. Have 10 trades left.
    Thinking of getting Himmelberg (even though named fwd this week). Butters was going if he was not playing, but he survives again. Have 19 playing (plus Rioli 25 which hopefully doesnt make the 18).
    Team basically there but have Preuss, Butters, Merrett, Cripps that could be a trade.
    Could trade Hobbs or cameron to get himmelberg.
    TU get Himmelberg (good cash gen and possible points)
    TD not worrh the risk
    thx

  23. Had planned on going Daicos to Stewart all week but with Boak out and $422k it am thinking Boak to Laird and Hobbs to English. Thoughts?
    Tu Daicos to Stewart leaves $220k itb
    TD Boak to Laird, Hobbs to English leaves $9k itb with Daicos at D6

  24. TU:
    Out: Baz Clarke Daicos durdin
    In: English laird Bont d’ambrassio
    (Lose Daicos as D7/M9 cover)

    TD:
    Out: Baz Clarke Stephens durdin
    In: English cogs keays d’ambrassio
    (Keep Daicos as great cover)

  25. Himmelberg going to keep his HB role? 2 weeks he can make 100k with projected scores of 85 & 95.

  26. Do we know which clubs have the most sunday games to see the season out?

    I’m assuming Freo or West Coast?
