    1. Im a Pies fan and all indications pointed to a big season however he is not spreading and getting easy uncontested marks like he used to, has a disposal efficiency of just 54%this year (39% by foot) and is not hitting the scoreboard or taking intercept marks.

      The experiment last night did not work with Cox and Cameron. Cox is not AFL standard. A Grundy/Kruger ruck combo looks like the way forward which would result in a slightly higher TOG, but the biggest question mark is Grundys mindset.

      1. He’s taken the money and not delivered it’s about time some players are paid on performance base contracts and games.Grundy dosnt seem to give a f. k

    Good start – long way to go. I’m going off the grid for the rest of the long weekend, so Happy Easter everyone and enjoy the footy!

    Just waiting to make sure Hinge is out, but will probably loop hole Paddy Mac’s 68. It’s unlikely DK will beat this or by any great margin.

  3. 665/7/ Touk

    Ironically looped English just in case of a spud score and started Grundy without a care in the world.

    McCartin also looped looking at about 2200 so far but a long way to go yet.

    Happy with everything except Grundy who is in every team in my main league except for my matchup this week

  5. I didn’t start with SDK, who is still only $158k after one price rise. Seems to have better JS than NOD but a lower ceiling. Who’s the better trade-in? Will be on my bench either way.

    TU: NOD $167k
    TD: SDK $158k

    1. Not sure I’d be trading in either just to sit on bench.
      SDK has better JS, and potential to stay long term with improved output- but only see him getting around 65 max average… not really going to generate cash
      NOD I traded in to give DPP and because cash generation will be straight away. Might be lucky to stay in and average higher, but with Tucker, etc, waiting for one bad game I’m not sure about JS
      18% trading him in this week- looking to gain about $50k this week
      #Worth considering DPP that’s coming up, reckon guys like Pendlebury/Daicos will get def status as well

      1. Cheers Kotaredrew! Although they’ll be on my bench, they’ll be funding a upgrade elsewhere.

        I was surprised SDK only scored 62 last game, as he looked really good taking intercept marks. Leaning towards SDK due to JS.

        Judging by a few articles/discussions going around, I think Daicos is very line-ball to get DPP.

    Let down by Grundy, could potentially impact all my league match ups this week as Grundy one of a few uniques vs oppos.

    Happy with the score so far, projected 2269. If everything goes well, should hit that projection McCartin & Xerri score still to come in.

    Goodluck and Happy Easter all

  8. Pretty happy with this weeks trades. Gresh and Sinclair in.

    8 hundreds so far from my onfields so far, sadly Hayes on the bench.

    Nice.

    Just don’t ask about last week 🙂

  9. I have Grundy, English, Preuss, Xerri and Hayes.
    Didn’t loop Grundy and have Xerri and Hayes on the forward bench.
    Do I trade Butters for a never ever playing cheap Ruck/Fwd
    Gives me Hayes score, cash to upgrade (probably Rowell)
    And let’s me loop between my Ruck/Fwds each week.
    TU yes do it
    TD No trade. Butters will come good
    And 1223/11/Macrae.

  10. 1434/14/Macrae

    Hewett, Durdin, Butters, Parish, Ridley, N. Martin, Brodie and SDK to go.

    Looking like a 2150 – 2200 on my end.

    1. Looking around leagues it seems 2150 is gonna be a pretty reasonable score this week and 2250 will be a good score.

      In my head to heads the highest projected score I’m seeing is 2250, and 3 2100’s.

  11. Anybody know when the new DPPs come in? I need it to magically fix my team!
    And turn a lot of spuds into champions- yes- I’m looking at you Whitfield, Rowell, Grundy…

  15. 1542 / 15 / Macrea

    Caught in a few very close league match ups this week. Gunboat, Dane and Lisa as well as a few others.

    Most of them involve Ryan (me) V Ridley (them)

    I really need a win as I’m 0-2 in most of my leagues.

    Ryan you need to perform, or I feel a rage trade coming on!

    1. 2175 / Macrae / Was 35K 🙁

      Leading 5/10 leagues but will need Sicily to stink it up to hold on in a few.

      Ryan was scaled down 2 points and I lost a league match up ( ninja’s league ) by a single point.

      I’m hoping this score can at least see me hold rank.

      Tempted to use my first boost next week and get in another Premo mid. ( move Daicos back ) I want to trade Grundy, but his record against the Bombers is huge and it doesn’t look like Phillips will get up. He maybe a reluctant hold.

  16. Finished 2,323/22 Macrae(C)

    Jackson, Short and JHF we’re the ones who underperformed, apart from that, pretty happy with score this week.

  17. 2200/22/Macrae

    Will win 7/10 leagues. Eleven players @ 100+ and eight sub 80.
    Short, Rowell, JHF, Chapman, Jackson, Witts and Blakey all sub par.
    Expecting another move up the overall rankings.

    Up and down week end, Short and Grundy underperforming prevented a much high score, but happy enough.

    Only Danger left to watch tomorrow for the Tech team

    Relatively happy with that. A few disappointments in Short, Grundy and Rowell but good performances from a few rookies made up for it. Could have got an extra 50-odd if I hadn’t swapped Dixon and Hayes. hopefully should be enough to keep me in the top 1000. Might think about downgrading Rowell to a rookie and bank the cash.

    I’m on the improve . Rowell Grundy a bit flat but may keep them
    Loving Noddy
    Is there a player that’s noted for his big ears ?
    Would be a great fit.

    A lot of underperformers, particularly JHF, Rowell, Grundy and Short but was ok with those considering high ownership. Occasionally I forget just how good everyone here is. Congrats to all the 2200+ people.

    Currently thinking Rowell, Grundy to Touk and Preuss but we’ll see how the week plays out

    1. I have my eyes on Miller in two weeks, he’ll be even cheaper then. GC has the Pies next, Pendle might tag him. Bringing in Preuss this coming week.

      1. Miller plays Brisbane next week.

        Sometime they send Berry to the Oppo’s best mid but its rarely a hard taG.

        1. Sorry my bad, looked too far ahead at the fixture.

          Either way I’d wait another week. Miller had a BE of 188 this week, he’ll be cheaper when GC palys the Pies in rnd 7. Might or might not get tag by Pendle, just like Berry not a hard tag.

          1. Just calculated Miller’s BE. After this round his BE will be 139 and should be sub $600K, making me think twice of picking him up this week instead. He’s not gonna LOSE(unless he has a stinker) or GAIN(unless he pull 200SC points) much cash. Actually don’t think he’s not get any cheaper than this.

            Something for me to weigh on this week either Miller or Gawn.

    1. Benny, I have Lipinski and believe me he is not pulling down trees either. Trade Rowell out ( he doesn’t look like a mid premo keeper) but upgrade to a proper premo and save yourself another trade.

      13

      0
    2. I think a trade is in order but don’t think Lipinski is the option. Would try to get cash elsewhere to upgrade him to a serious premos like Touk, Steele or even hewett if you dont have.

  22. 2076/Macrae/21

    A real up and down round with Sicily still to come. Very happy with my trades of Rowell and Hinge out for Hewett and NOD but some premos really let me down. Short, Grundy and Ridley undid the hard work of my Uber Premos.

    Rachele on the field instead of Hayes hurts a little but should end up close to 2200 with Sic to play and 32 trades still in the bank feeling pretty good!

  23. Currently at 2118 with only Sicily remaining

    Good – English, Steele, Butters, Macrae as Captain, winning all my league matchups, O Driscoll, trades worked out well

    Bad – only 4 scores over 117, Hayes 105 on the bench, Cripps missing

    Ugly – 9 scores under 82, 7 under 71 – Ridley, daicos, Grundy, Rowell, McCartin, JHF, Rachele, Martin, short.

    There goes my shot at top 2.5%. Had a horrid start to the season with players not performing and being forced to sideways trade because of injuries or role or performance. Good rookie cash gen should help get the team upgraded to full premo sooner than most, but won’t matter because every premo I pick will play horribly. Hopefully Sicily can pull me through to something like 2220, but likely he will just give away 10 50m and end up with 30-40 points

    All done.
    A big axe coming, only 3 trades used thus far, so I think 3 trades coming this week with the positional changes!

  25. 2023/21 McCrae C

    Could have been so much better with Xerri’s 103 on the bench &
    Lost McGovern and had no spare on the def bench so effectively only 21 but didn’t want to burn a trade for a potential 50-60 points

    Good – Neale McCrae Moore Treloar steel Hayes butters Bradshaw Dunkley Hewitt & finally Oliver

    Bad – Rowell – Horne – rachele – Daicos

    Rage trade – Rowell & if not fit Hinge is going out to give me some cover

    Not having Macrae hurt this week as did having Grundy/Short/Chapman on field while Hayes and O’driscoll were on the bench.

    Premo roulette didn’t go so well this week.

    Oh well time for my first upgrade this week. Seems like Chapman + Rowell for Pruess + premo

  27. 1992/ McCrae/ only 1 left to play
    Don’t know where to start.
    Grundy looks lost or he’s just weighed down by his pay packet.
    Hall on his way to his best score for a while does his hammy.
    Rowell nowhere near his potential
    Stinkers by JHF, Short, Jackson and Chapman.
    Oh and also had NOD and Hayes on bench with 100+ scores…..
    Seriously lucky it’s Easter and comfort food isn’t far away!!

    1. Seems like you need to do 3 trades.

      Can use Daicos DPP for Chapman to become a mid/fwd/ruck – maybe Pruess if you don’t have him.

      Turn Rowell into a Premo, and sideswap hall

      Short will come good, JHF is insulated by ownership so if he does bad everyone has him

      Grundy you can sideswap next week if he has another stinker

  29. 22/22 done for 2240 with Macrae C

    Looking at my leagues, 2150-2200 seems to be par?

    Nailed my rookies with NOD, Xerri, Hayes tonnes which has offset shockers from Short and Grundy. Very pleased to see Butters back in the mids and scoring well as those 2 50s since trading him in were annoying me

      1. More likely he scores 9 than 90 lol.

        He’s not that good defensively 1 on 1 and Stewart back will dry up a lot of the intercept and distribution economy.

        You’ve got me. Wp.
