  1. Whose more important to get in your team for this round.
    1.N.Daicos- looking a def top 4 Def
    2.W.Setterfield- this year’s mid pricer breakout
    3 H. Sheezal – this year’s N.Daicos.
    No matter how I do the sums I still don’t have enough cash to get all 3 done this week, so I need to be creative.

    1. Joestar, I think you are very probably correct so its basically a win/win. Get the 2 that are most critical to your team now. 312 for me. I think the first one probably has to be Sheezel unless you are underdone on premos, and then Daicos for the dollars and points ceiling, then Setterfield for points and dollars with maybe a lower ceiling. Setterfield may require another trade through the buys to go to a top eight premo mid. But you know what fits your team, personally I think it will be hard to go wrong with any of those.

      1. Cheers Dom,
        I’m feeling pretty much the same, feeling like Setterfield is a chance at an M8 or M9 by years end, Daicos should be at least Top 6 and Harry well he’ll just keep on keeping on.
        So hopefully the move will produce 2 more premiums to the team which will take the tally to 14. 8 more to go with 30 trades.

    2. I’m lucky to have some cash, so can get Daicos Setter and LDU this week….got Sheezel. Means missing a rookie or two, especially cow Chandler, but side will look much better.

    3. Some numbers to help
      Round 3 Score of 100
      Daicos +$35k
      Setterfield +63k
      Sheezel +89k
      Round 3 Score of 110
      Daicos +$39k
      Setterfield +67k
      Sheezel +94k
      Round 3 Score of 120
      Daicos +$44k
      Setterfield +71k
      Sheezel +98k

      It all depends on how much you can stretch next week and what you think they are likely to score this week. Sheezel first would be my call and choose between the other 2.

  2. What do we think of Rampe? I haven’t seen his games but that juicy price is tempting me. If he could average 80 from here out would be laughing- but can he?

      1. Don’t need him to tonne from here although it would be nice – if he averages even 70 over the next 5 games he will go up 100k. Could replace an underperforming premium and bank a lot of cash. food for thought

  3. What’s more important; getting the right mid-pricers/under priced premiums (e.g Setterfield, Ziebell, Daicos, Cameron, LDU) or rookies that may have been missed (McKenna, Chandler)?

    1. Mid pricers/under premiums for me – there’s lots of good options and look to be more reliable than mckenna and chandler types. If it’s sheezel you’re missing then its a different story!!

    2. Go with the ones that will make you the most money. If they are going to be about equal money made, midpricers are better since they score higher. Midpricers usually the better option for cash/scoring, but can hurt bad if they fail

  4. What to do with Midpricers such as Bruhn, Fyfe, Flanders.
    Use DPP and go midfielder or go someone like Ziebell? Or maybe just downgrade to a rookie such as Chandler and use the money elsewhere

    1. Downgrade and upgrade.

      That way you don’t waste trades sideswapping and you correct your mistakes at the same time

    2. First, repeat after me… “Mid Price Madness always comes at a cost”…
      2nd, get rid of all three donkeys and buy Sheezel, LDU, Daicos, Cameron, Bowes (wait a week), Chandler if you have to. Good luck.

      1. I’m asking this as a general question for all coaches, not that I own all of them. This is a suggestion for a poll on what would coaches do. Would more go someone like Setterfield via DPP, another go Ziebell or others downgrade to someone like Chandler if they already have Sheezel?

  5. Hi all. I’m more a reader than a commenter on this site and enjoy it immensely. It’s quite valuable for me as a shift worker who misses alot of the games. I am a guns and rookies player and rarely trade my premo’s . Was able to watch most of the games this week and thinking it’s time to be creative. Btw have used 1 trade to date and very much set on using my first boost.
    Docherty to Daicos
    Just too good and great to watch +$100,000
    Neale to Setterfield + $328000
    Could be LDU but think he will receive more attention and @ his price happy to wait. Setterfield has been given a golden opportunity and seems to have taken it. He’s not a keeper but will most likely provide both $ and points whilst Parish & Merrett take any heat.
    Flander’s to Ziebell – $ 100,100
    Think Ziebell will be a good F6 / D6 .
    Leaves me $ 406,000 to chase any falling premo’s and upgrade more quickly.
    Cheers and good trading.
    What are your thoughts, like my thinking?

      1. Hey David

        As much as I’d like to move him to English or Cameron, Darcy keeps his spot for me.

        Has the Weagles this week, with Williams likely being their ruck, he’ll surely bounce back.

        Pruess (130+], Comben (90) and Xerri (40 in the first quarter) so far as his opponents, likely to leak points to Darcy

    1. Trade, what has happened last 2 will be the norm.
      I watched him win so many contests in the ruck and punch instead of tap to advantage. Given that’s his main scoring stream get rid.
      I could be wrong, but the other rucks will be close enough across the journey that he shouldn’t hurt you.

    1. If your happy with your current rookies and team setup ,and if he gets dropped he is a good loop for vc/c options in the near future as well as his mid/def could come in handy. Just another option to think about. Cheers

  6. Darcy replacement
    TU English (worried he gets injured at some point but would have Ratugolea as cover)
    TD Cameron + 96k (allows me to upgrade the Rat to Setters) Will swing him to fwd line when Gawn bottoms out in price

  7. advice needed

    tu: Doc Bruhn Callaghan -> Daicos Gulden Chandler

    td: Bruhn Callaghan Chesser -> Setterfield Phillipou Chandler

    although trading doc could backfire think its justified by the Bruhn to Gulden upgrade

  8. Currently have 98k in the bank

    TU – J.Mcrae, Mackenzie -> Setterfield, LDU
    TD – Look for something else

    Currently have Daicos and Sheezel so that’s a bonus!

    The trade will leave 7k in the bank

  9. Afternoon coaches!

    Loving the content but please do consider the thread you’re posting on

    Try to use polling station for ideas that can work for the majority

    For individual trade plans, best to use trade talk or LMQ that comes out on Thursday

    Just trying to keep stuff all in place

  10. I usually hate to burn trades on premo’s early but I feel like I have to do this…

    Docherty > N. Daicos
    S. Darcy > D. Cameron
    T. Bruhn > W. Setterfield (via A. Davey moving to fwds)

    T/U do itttt
    T/D don’t burn trades you fool.

  11. Already making two trades to get rid of Flanders and Chesser

    TU – Use boost to get Daicos for Ridley
    TD – Keep Ridley

    1. Chesser is not urgent. His price is not going to move much at all, if he plays or if he doesn’t. That side of the equation will be more about who you are bringing in for him and how it weighs up against your alternative that you want to do.

  12. Could be a good move to put the Vc on Nick Daicos this week. No Short. Possibly no Hopper or Dusty. Hardwick probably won’t send a tagger to him . Can’t decide between Neale , Dunkley , or Nick Daicos for Vc. Don’t have Bont. Have Macrae but he burned me bad with the captaincy last week so he is a hard pass for me .

  13. How many trades are you using this week, one two or three.
    Are you trading sideways up or down to chase cash or points.
    Me I am using three, hopefully for more cash and a few extra points.
    T/U trade to generate cash
    T/D trading for more SC points

  14. Who’s the more important missed rookie to bring in for cash growth?

    TU: Mckenna (BE-76)
    TD: Chandler (BE-94)

      1. Thanks Twitch, but already looking to bring in Daicos and Cameron with my other two trades.

        So its:

        TU: Greene to Chandler (F7)
        TD: Chesser to McKenna (D6/D7 with Wilmot)

        0

        1. Based on those 2 options I’d go Chesser to McKenna as Chesser doesn’t seem likely to be making money wouldn’t be suprised if he was omitted this weeek tbh, whereas Greene will make cash but he will be a bit of a slow burn

  15. Poll – If you are thinking of moving Sean Darcy on after 2 ordinary weeks who to bring in. Cameron, Witts, English.
    Cheers
