  1. With Hopper likely out this week, I’m thinking of doing this.

    Bruhn, Hopper, Ratugolea > Zieball, Setterfield, Chandler.

    Daicos will just have to wait. Cheers

  2. TU – One trade Bruhn – zibell (kinda worried about hall coming back and affecting his score) hall did just put up a 120 in vfl.
    TD – rookie swap for Caminiti to get extra 6k cash for bruhn to cameron

    6

    14
  3. Chesser to Daicos
    F.Callaghan to Setterfield
    Fyfe to chandler

    TU – no brainer, do it
    TD – hold Callaghan and the boost

    1. First trades of the year

      Tu –
      OUT – Chesser, Steele, Callahan
      In – LDU, N.Long, Worpel

      Td –
      OUT – Doch, Chesser, Steele
      IN – LDU, Daicos, N.Long

      Comment, I have considered sideways for Brayshaw and Rozee instead of Doch but the lack of mid minutes has me considering Doch at the moment

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

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

  5. I brought in JHF & Callaghan in round 2
    Thinking of trading back out:

    TU: JHF, Callaghan, Chesser > Chandler, Setterfield, Daicos (74k in the bank)

    TD: JHF, F.Greene, Cole > Chandler, Setterfield, Daicos (12k in the bank)

  6. I really want to go JHF -> LDU
    But don’t have enough $$ unless I sideways Doc -> Daicos

    Is it worth it?

  7. Cumming for Daicos is done.

    Probably wont be liked by a lot but seriously contemplating,

    Chesser and Andy Brayshaw out
    Setterfield and Ziebell/D Cameron in

    Hmmm

  8. TU: Docherty to Daicos, and Fyfe to Gulden
    TD: Fyfe to Gulden, Chesser to Mckenna, and Bruhn to Phillipou

    Already used 3 trades last week

    21
    1. or
      TU: Ridley to Daicos, Bruhn to Chandler, Fyfe to Gulden

      [Is chandler find to get instead of Mckenna?]

      1. Different positions. Most have McKenna on field. Seems to have better job security

        If your on field is set and you’re just looking for a bench rookie could be fine. Job security might be an issue for chandler but should make money quickly if he gets games and lower price = more money.

        Both seem good choices

  9. Whats more important to do this week?

    TU: Liam Jones –> Setterfield/Worpel (Constable DPP)
    TD: Greene –> Chandler

  10. Used one trade so far (Stewart to Daicos) and looking to tweak a bit more this week:

    Out – JHF, Callaghan, Darcy
    In – Chandler, LDU, English

    T/U – Do it
    T/D – Save the trades/just move on Darcy

    22

    3
  11. Out: Gawn, Clark, and either Green or Cowan

    TU. Darcy Cameron, LDU, Camenetti (1ok left)

    Gets all the essential players, doesn’t get left behind. Uses corrective trades to upgrade to an extra Premo so trades feel like less of a waste.

    TD. Darcy Cameron, Worpel, Mitch Owens (or another midpricer)

    Corrective trades are actually corrective. Extra stepping stones keeping the points on field would take me up to 18 premium like scorers and stays a bit more unique compared to top teams

    1. Might become obvious if Finn’s injury is worse than expected, but do people think it’s worth trading Finn to Long?

  12. B. Dale >Daicos
    Bruhn > Worpel
    Chesser > Hollands, Mckenna or Chandler ( which one ?)

    TU – go for it, corrrective
    TD – not worth it, just trigger happy

  13. Stewart, Doch, Jones, Mckenna, Gibney, Constable (Wilmot Cowan)
    Satan, Neale, LDU, Steele, Hopper, Worpel, FinCall, Ashcroft (Phillipou, Mackenzie, Bakee)
    Pom, Marshall (nuff)
    Dunk, Taranto, Cameron, Fyfe, Sheez, BKing (FGreene, Davey)

    Forgot to trade Stew last week, so I have Steele, Stewart and Fyfe who all prob need to go. Looking at bringing in Setters, Daicos and then?

    T/U swing Phillipou fwd (who would be on field) and bring in Bont/Parish/any premo
    T/D being in Cogs/Gulden
    Comment – appreciate any alt suggestions legends!

  14. T/U – Macrae, Hopper and Callahan –> Davies-Uniacke, Setterfield and N Daicos

    T/D – Darcy,Ratugolea and Hopper–> English, Chandler and Davies-Uniacke/N Daicos

    J. Sicily, S. Docherty, L. Jones, R. Ginbey, C. McKenna, C. Constable (D. Wilmot, L.Cowan)

    Midfielders
    C. Oliver, J. Macrae, T. Green, T. Mitchell, J. Hopper, F. Callaghan, W. Ashcroft, C. Mackenzie (O. Baker, C. Chesser, A. Davey)

    Rucks

    Forwards
    J. Dunkley, C. Rozee, T. Taranto, Gulden, H. Sheezel, E. Ratugolea, (M. Phillipou, F. Greene)

    Everyones thoughts would be great!

    1. I would be holding Hopper mate unless it’s a confirmed multi weeker. Hold MacRae too – he’ll come good. Can understand Darcy getting the point though.

  15. Who to Trade Out?
    TU: Finn Callaghan
    TD: Jack Bytel
    I guess it’s whoever’s injury is worse
    Thanks

  16. Tu Darcy,Callaghan Trac to DC,Chandler and Oliver
    Td Darcy Chesser to English Chandler and save a trade

  17. Better to trade out Bruhn for a cash cow rookie (Chandler or McKenna) or for Setterfield (do we truly think he can hold down M8?)

    T/U – Cash cow – Either Chandler or McKenna
    T/D – Setterfield

    Cheers!

  18. Thinking of these trades but unsure what to do, any thoughts?

    Out: Ridley, Flanders and Darcy
    In: daicos, setterfield and English

    TU – good moves, get it done
    TD – don’t do it

    Other option is bringing in Cameron via English but everyone seems to be doing that so was going for something bit different

  19. Have most of the rookies I want. But have B Dale and A Brayshaw as poor choices.
    Out: Dale, Brayshaw and Chesser
    In: LDU, Setterfield and Rampe
    TU. $244k net gain in player value
    TD Don’t

    2

    11
    1. Really wouldn’t be bringing Rampe in. I can’t tell which A Brayshaw you have but I don’t know that either are completely failed picks just yet. Potentially just do Dale and Chesser to LDU and Setterfield? Although I don’t know if you’ll have enough DPPs for that.

      5

      0
    2. Depends on how many premiums you have.

      But generally splitting a premium is a bad idea.

      Would add that extra $$$ on top of Rampe to get another premium defender.

      if you think Setterfield is a must have then at least go Dale > Bowes, Rookie > Setterfield and decide what you want to do with Brayshaw separately

  20. Daicos or chandler?
    Can only do one – Braun out

    TU: Daicos – Def keeper, projected 45.5k price change. 107 projected, on field.
    Means passing on chandler and the money her will make, but have all other top rookies.

    TD: Chandler – Rookie, projected 59.3k price change, 37 projected, on bench
    Could pick up Daicos next week, but will miss his on field points.

    14

  21. Daicos playing in a red hot pies side as well as playing a tigers side that will be missing a few players and they don’t tag. I would be going Daicos. But then I’m a bias pies supporter!

  22. Thinking out loud here.
    1. I’m cooling my jets on daicos. Not sure I’m all that keen on Ridley for him with possibly a couple of tags coming in the next month.. and can’t move on anyone else to get daicos in. but that % owned is scary and could absolutely kill me if he keeps banging out 130+ every week. I will probably trade for him still.

    2. Darcy he has a ruckless west coast and surely fremantle can not play him forward again he was a train wreck down there he couldn’t even take simple marks. Just play him in the ruck atleast Jackson is competitive down forward. I’m still open to trading for DCam as I believe he is a top 3-4 ruck and if not he will be F6/7 and ruck cover too and I bank 100k from this. This looks a smart move but could easily sit tight on Darcy. Long moire has to play him full time ruck doesn’t he?!

    3. I think I’ll be bringing in chandler for chesser. I have nailed setterfield and ziebell by starting both for the year so don’t have to chase them which is handy.. still got Callaghan which isn’t ideal but he’ll be a slow burn I think, not sure it’s worth going up to worpel is it?

    4. LDU for brownlow, go norffff

    Would love to hear some feedback

  23. After not making a trade last week, I’ve gone into meltdown!

    T/U – Out: L.Jackson, Allen, McLean
    In: Ziebell, Setterfield, Chandler

    T/D – Out: L. Jackson, Allen, Chesser
    In: Setterfield, Ashcroft, Chandler

  24. No trades last week,
    My correction Trades:
    Grundy to Cameron
    Ridley to Daicos
    Fyfe to Zebell

    Trading Grundy as I hoped he be a pod,
    But looks a bit lost, saying that with solo Ruck duties he might come good,

    Not having Daicos was just a mistake

    And Fyfe for obvious reasons

    Thoughts?

  25. My side is starting to resemble a certain Russian military campaign…..

    The losses are mounting, disillusionment and panic is everywhere and looking at my bank balance I think a few generals are skimming off the top….

    Enter operation get Nick Daicos (aka the Wagner Group).

    To do this it will cost me a premo and the 2 best candidates are Darcy (MIA) and Josh Kelly (always in a field hospital).

    T/U
    Darcy, chesser, JHF >> D Cameron, N Daicos, Chandler

    T/D
    Jelly, Chesser, Ratugolea>>Phillipou/N Long, N Daicos, Chandler and bank $80k

  27. Does any one have an update on aaron hall? cant seem to find any news whether he is injured or how long out for.
    Thinking if he comes back in the next week or two it will impact Ziebell and his scoring. any news on his selection?
    thanks

    1. He just scored 120 in the vfl. I’m also curious when he will come back but I’m not sure if Clarkson has any plans on changing the team after going 2-0. I’m tossing up ziebell because of it

      0

      0
      1. Hall coming back in the side could possibly affect Sheezels scoring. I think Zieball and Hall will probably play in the backline . Sheezel may spend more time playing forward. At the moment Sheezel is playing 80% in the defensive half. That may change when Hall comes back. I’ve had Zieball since round 1 and brought Sheezel in last week.

  30. Is it worth trading JHF to Chandler so I can get Daicos using my boost trade
    TU: yes
    TD: no wait another week

  31. Thinking of going Dale to Daicos as his role seems to have changed. Is this a waste of a trade?

    T/up – Yes, hold as he’ll come good

    T/down – No, Daicos is a must have

  34. Doc, Darcy , Hopper for Daicos, Cameron , LDU. No trades used, got all kids except Chandler. Yay or nay?

    5

    1. Personally, I’m holding Doch over Daicos and would probably try and look at a way to bring in Chandler if you could but I know it helps out with both points and cash.

  35. Using last trade of the week –
    TU – C.Chesser to C.McKenna
    TD – S.Darcy to D.Cameron

    I have plenty of potential cash generation from my rookies, but don’t have McKenna, is he a must? Already have Wilmot

    11

  36. Who to preference this week………
    TU Worpel (playing Nth this week, good role)
    TD Ziebell (Hall gotta be close to returning but can score big)
    Cheers

  37. Hard choice this week

    Tu
    Out- Ridley bruhn Flanders
    In- daicos setterfield chandler

    Td
    Out bruhn Callahan Flanders
    In setterfield ziebell chandler

    Can’t decide between the 2

    6

    7
  38. So I’m not usually one to trade a premium out, but I need to find $30k (ish) to turn Flanders into Ziebel I reckon the best way to find it is trade rozee to gulden.
    Under no illusion I might need to get rozee back, but I think Flanders to ziebel is a must. Thoughts?

    TU – make the trade
    TD – not worth it, sit tight

    Cheers

    1. At this stage Flanders down to a rookie you’re missing is more worth it imo but definitely don’t be sideswapping premiums for that small of a return.

  39. TU:
    Fyfe to Bowes
    Bruhn to Setterfield

    TD
    Fyfe to Bowes
    Bruhn to Cameron (fwd)
    Bruce/Cole to Chandler

    Comment
    Fyfe to LDU
    Bruhn to Chandler

    I’ve already boosted last week due to injury to Stewart and Jones’ 5. The first puts Mackenzie to M9 but forces Bruce on field in the forward and I miss out on Chandler/Cameron. The second option allows me to have a very strong forward line and mids are still strong with Ashcroft and Mackenzie 7 & 8. 3rd option my midfield is stacked but I have extra on field rookies in def and forward.

    I want to bring in Bowes because he looked great last week and my back line has 4 (decent) rookies. I think Cameron will be top 6 in the fwd line and would be great to pick up before the price rise.

    1

    2
    1. I reckon Bowes can wait a week so option 3 is where I’d go so you can also keep Mackenzie as an onfiel rookie rather than a riskier option

  40. Hi everyone – playing for league mainly so have heaps of cash to do

    Greene/Chesser and Callaghan to Zieball and Setterfield.

    Third trade ??

    T/U Rozee (in mids) to LDU and 50k – miss out on Chandler or

    T/D Green/Chesser (whatever one left after first two trades) to Chandler and 100k

  41. Looking at the following two options:

    TU: Flanders, Callaghan, L Jones -> Daicos, Chandler, Cole

    TD: Flanders, Callaghan -> Chandler, Setterfield (or Ziebell)

    Second option leaves me with over $100k more in the bank and one extra trade (but no Daicos )

    Thanks for the feedback!

  42. Feeling like Dr Strange looking at all the possible trade scenarios and struggling to settle on the one that won’t tank…I initially had Oscar Allen on the chopping block but have worked out can still get the same cattle in (less cash generation however).

    Out: L.Jackson, Greene and Chesser

    In: T/U – Ziebell, Ashcroft and Chandler
    T/D – Setterfield, Ashcroft and Chandler

    1. Depending on what it leaves you with on field, it could be worth trading out Allen instead of Greene. As a $124k rookie, he just needs one game to kick a couple of goalss and the cash gen shoots right up. It’ll also leave you with more cash for future moves

      0

    1. Ridley is still a premo. I’d want to be trading him out for a keeper, particularly cause he’s up against the saints this week who have no talls for him to be accountable for so I’d watch for him to score like Freo defenders did in round 1 this week. Ridley to a Daicos makes sense but down to Bowes who we’ve only seen one game from where he was actually really quiet for a half would be risky

  43. Morning

    Have done 3 trades, brought in two rookies that I missed which allowed me to go Jones to Daicos.
    Therefore I could get setterfield instead. I guess the question is, is he a must have or is Daicos the better play?

    Tu stay with bringing in Nick.
    Td get Nick later, don’t miss the Setterfield boat!

  44. Long time reader first time poster 🙂

    In a bit of a kafuffle this week – wanted to trade Fyfe last week but decided to give him one more chance (also missed the late out). Now he’s messed up my trades for this week. Ideally I wanted to get Chandler in but not sure if it’s viable given the injuries and other issues I’ve got going on.

    I need to trade Steele, Fyfe and probably Chesser
    Money not really an issue, before trades I have $486,30 in the bank (downgraded Stewart to McKenna last week)

    T/U – LDU, Zieball, Daicos + leaving $111,900 in the bank for future upgrades
    T/D – Setterfield, More, Daicos + leaving $156,500 in the bank
    Comment – anything else

    My only concern for the first trade is having too many norf players
    Also have Sheezel fielded and Phillips & Comben on the bench

    Current team

    DEF
    Sic, Doch, Ginbey, Constable, McKenna, Wilmot (Chesser, Cowan)

    MID
    Laird, Miller, Green, Steele, Callaghan, Ashcroft, Mackenzie, Phillipou (Phillips, Baker, Long)

    RUCKS
    Witts, Marshall (Madden)

    FWD
    Dunks, Cogs, Fyfe, Rozee, Sheezel, Davey (Grenne, Comben)

    9

    1
    1. Fyfe > Cameron -175k gives you ruck cover and good value+1 keeper

      Steel to Daicos. Via DPP. + 100k

      Worst rookie to Setterfield/Ziebell

      Should give you 200k left in the bank for an early upgrade or another rookie to hopper when he’s back

  45. Ridley too daicos if he’s the only way to get Nick… doesn’t feel right but don’t want to miss getting daicos

  46. Which option is better for my final trade of the round?

    TU: Ratugolea > Chandler
    TD: Liam Jones > Worpel

    Ratugolea to Chandler will obviously be good cash generation but it’s points on the bench.

    Jones to Worpel should hopefully increase my points on field and removes the anxiety of having Jones in my side.

  47. Trade options. Thanks for your votes.

    TU: Jones(D4) Esava(F7) WDay (D3) out for McKenna, Camineti, Daicos

    TD: Ridley (D2) out for Daicos

  48. Looking at trading.
    Fyfe. Riddley. Chesser For Setterfield daicos. Ziebell. TU
    Or
    Fyfe. Riddley Chesser For Setterfield. Daicos. ( Noble or lever ) TD Thoughts? Thoughts?

    0
  49. T/U: Darcy and Flanders to Cameron and Setters
    T/D: Darcy and Flanders to Witts and Chandler

    My other option is keeping Darcy and just doing Flanders to Chandler. WCE don’t really have a ruck so Darcy could have a day out and could potentially give him the flick next week.

    9

    1. or skip setterfield and if Richards doesn’t score well trade to Bowes next week (if he scores well – bank 190k)

  50. I have a bit of money to spare and can trade Callaghan up to either worpel or setterffield
    TU – Worpel
    TD – Setterfield
    Or should I hold and save the cash and a trade

    3

    10
  51. TU: Callaghan – worpel
    + betters my onfield points
    – can stink it up
    – use 65k to do it

    TD: chesser – chandler
    + low BE
    – shakey JS? Bench cover anyway
    + straight swap at their prices.

  52. Need a DEF

    T/U – Buckley and $266k bank
    T/D – Noble and $62k bank

    Comment – any other player under $471k (except Bowes / rookies)

    1. TU English

      TD LDU.

      Have to trade Gawn and can bring in Cameron so it’s really about who offers the better ceiling/captaincy option

      LDU has already played Eagles/Freo so missed those scores and English has had some hard matchups

  53. Is it worth trading jones, kinda unsure

    TU – Jones, steele, flanders to mckenna, setterfield, daicos (bank 106k)

    TD – Steele, flanders, cheeser to mckenna, setterfield, daicos (bank 2.5k)

  54. Looking at getting Setterfield and Chandler in this week, just need to work out who to trade out:

    TU: TRADE OUT Flanders + F Greene (67k ITB, no DPPs)
    TD: TRADE OUT Flanders + Callaghan (187k ITB, DPPs retained and option to get Bowes in one trade next week)

    3

    6
  55. Only used 1 trade last week so think I’ll use three correctives this week.
    1 trade will be chesser to chandler and another most likely hopper to setterfield.
    With the other cant decide out of
    T/u darcy to cameron
    T/d macrae to daicos (macrae has been a long time favourit but looks cooked)
    Comment-

    0
  56. Third option
    T/u jhf to ziebell (i got seduced by jhf and traded fyfe for him but ziebell is more reliable)

    3

    1
  57. First trade; Ratugolea > Chandler.

    Is it worth brining in ziebell for Callaghan?

    Only way to do this is to go rozee > gulden.

    I don’t like the idea of sideways trading, however I feel like it’s allowing me to bring in 2 keepers (ziebell & gulden).

    Tu; Go for it!
    Td; Don’t do it!

    Worth a hold or is there big injury risk going forward

  59. To get Daicos, with no money in the bank, I’m tossing up between
    TU – trade out Docherty (with BE of 161)
    TD – trade out Hopper (injury but with a BE of 2 so money to be made)

    1. Yeah- reckon it is Si. He’s outta my side now. Was hoping he was going to regain previous years form but age & Bevo changing his positions means someone like LDU just better prospects- imo

      1. Thanks mate. Gut says it’s better to trade to another premium mid, but Setterfield could well be a keeper by years end at this rate so I can’t decide

  62. Tossing up with using my trade boost, with $112k in the kitty. If Callaghan is out I will be doing this but if he plays is it still worthwhile or burning a trade?

    Callaghan –> Setters

    TU – Do it, even if Callaghan is named
    TD – Save the trade

    Cheers guys cheers

    Flanders to Sheezel. Need him.
    Started with hunter Clark and Perkins,
    Perkins down to Phillipou/ or Chandler

    Help!

    1. I’m a saints fan but would advise Chandler over Phillipou. Phillipou kicked 3 goals and still couldn’t outscore Chandler while being more expensive

    1. Macrae to Premo 150k or more cheaper then him to maintain value of a trade. Look across lines. Cameron, Daicos, Gulden ect.

      Then Rookie to missed midpricer

  67. I have Hopper, Callaghan and Ridley with only 35k and 1 trade left, would love setterfield and Daicos in the side but unsure if I should trade any of them, Ridley-Daicos is easy or Hopper – Setterfield. Would love to know your thoughts on what’s best

    1

    1. Consensus is hold Hopper. Should score well and has a lot of money to make. Possibly better to grab one of the rookies on the bubble to generate more cash more quickly.

  68. not sure on 2 trades or 3 this week- already did 3 last week due to stewart and some other issues so thinking 6 trades is a LOT in the first two rounds. BUT i can go option 1
    phillips> setterfield
    steele> green
    or option 2
    phillips> setterfield
    steele>LDU/bont
    ratugolea> chandler
    option 2 gives me a hopefully better midfielder, and gets me chandler who’s cash gen will smash ratugoleas. but it’s a lot of trades – thoughts?
    T/U option 1 save the trade
    T/D option 2 go for it

    1. Might be worth waiting a week to see how much midfield time Clark gets with Steele missing a few weeks. His scores aren’t great so far but he has been seeing a fair bit of the ball.

  70. I’ve got 152k itb

    TU – Macrae, Greene > Setterfield, Ziebell (206k itb)
    TB – Darcy, Greene/Davey > DCameron, Ziebell/Setterfield (16k / 17k itb)

    First scenario allows me to get both Setterfield and Ziebell and gets rid of an under performing premo. However, it leaves me with T.Green as my M3

    Second Scenario allows me to get rid of Darcy (another under performing premo that I am looking to offload) whilst getting only one of Setterfield/Ziebell.

    I have already used one trade this week (Ridley > Daicos)

    Thanks in advance

    1. The trade for Darcy to Cameron nets you +100k in cash and 80k in differential.
      I’m doing it even with the knowledge of Darcy vs No-one at WC this week.

      3

      1
    2. Why trade Ridley?

      He’s not going great but if he’s not a huge problem priced at 500k he won’t lose much over the course of the season.

      The trade is a direct sideswap.

      Why not just keep Ridley and do
      Macrae to Daicos. +130k ish
      Darcy to Cameron + 80k ish + cover

      Then upgrade a rookie/failed midpricer to another premium/midpricer

      At least you’re finding value for your trades that way. If Ridley averages 90 and ends up as D6 that’s not an awful outcome

  72. Hi all, in a dilemma

    Can do the following

    1. TU trade docherty and Chester and bring in setterfield and ziebell.

    Pros -saves a trade boost, getting in 2 hot mid pricers.
    Cons – losing a premo

    2. TD Trade Darcy, Taranto/rozee and chesser and bring in d Cameron, setterfield and ziebell.

    Pros – solving ruck issue with Darcy, getting two money maker mid pricers.
    Cons – using a trade boost, losing a premo forward.

    Tough decision, what do you think.?

    2

    1
    1. Crazy to get rid of T-didley – he’s settling into the role and will grow over the season. Rozee the same!
      If this is your choice, you must have everything else nailed down – jealous!!!!

      2

      0
    2. Trading premos for mid pricers just never looks good on paper for mine. Maybe just Darcy to Cameron and then Chesser to a rookie you’ve missed. Hold the cash for something else but I would only be trading Docherty for Daicos and even then, I’m not willing to pull the trigger on that myself. Taranto and Rozee both look like keepers in the forward line so wouldn’t get rid of either of them

    From a quick read of this page as my only SuperCoach for the week, I’m thinking Callaghan and Ratagolea -> Setterfield and Chandler is the way to go. Dunno if it should be Flander instead though? Thoughts very much appreciated.

    1. I’d probably cull Flanders before Callaghan, potentially even boost to get rid of both and bring in another rookie like a Phillipou or Long just for better cash gen and for money in the bank for future moves

  78. My predicted season averages in ()
    OUT: Docherty (105) Ridley (98) Darcy (95)
    IN: Daicos (112) LDU (115) DCam (100)
    BANK: $192k

    Very sideways but alot of points made up onfield and nice bank for upgrades. Let us know please

    1. By your own estimates on a per trade basis that nets you approx 10 points/wk and 60k. Of course you want Daicos and LDU but would need to be closer to double that to be worth spending 3 trades. Maybe better to be patient and upgrade to them when you want rather than sideways to them now.

  80. I feel Chandler will get dropped in the coming weeks!

    T/U – Yes – agree
    T/N – No – he will play many games

    1. Quite possibly, but he will go up $150k odd and then be a fwd loop or hold till an obvious upgrade appears.

  81. Looking at two options

    T/U Out Doch Fyfe Hopper….In Daicos Chandler LDU. I call this the short term option. The Doch/Daicos trade effectively is $250k cash gain over several weeks….itb $182.1 after these trades

    T/D Out Doch Hopper Greene….In Daicos Chandler Setterfield. Longer term option which keeps Fyfe for now…..price wont change for another week and with $201.6 itb, an easy upgrade is on offer. Concerned about Chandler JS, but even one more game makes good cash.

    1. OK, so I’m just gonna say it… 36 trades and 5 boosts is too many!

      That value of a trade is diminished. 2 weeks in, with ample trades in hand, everyone is making up to 5-6 “correctional” trades and converging on very similar teams.

      Seasons use to be make or break based on nailing your rookies, PODs, backing your premos and trading strategically over the course of the year. Now, miss a rookie, pick the wrong midpricer and it doesn’t matter. Enough trades to just swap them out after 1-2 week. Or the other way, nail your starting POD and see that advantage disappear because it is too cheap and easy for everyone to jump on board.

      Maybe a topic for a poll. What is the optimal number of trades and boosts?

  83. Jack Macrae has been a staple in my side for years but worried he may be on the way down so considering a trade to LDU.

    T/U do the trade

    T/D keep faith in Macrae

  84. Already going; Ratugolea > Chandler

    Td: Rozee > Gulden (10k ITB after trades)

  89. Absolutely torn on the following, doesn’t effect structure whatsoever, and Cameron is already in.

    TD) English

    TD) LDU

    1. Have the same dilemma.

      LDU won’t average 150 so we’ve probably missed his two best scores, but he’s 150k underpriced and a mid premo.

      English, arguably has had two tough matchups this season and could have gone bigger given his halftime totals.

      Downsides for English is you miss a cheap Gawn when he’s back , and injury history. Upside is surely Macrae will play mid soon and that will help his taps to advantage and scaling.

      Thinking about fading both for Titch as it allows me to keep Calahan and rookie correct to another player

  90. DEF: Doch Dawson daicos Cole Ginbey Constable (Wilmot cowan)

    So my two trades have been thus far:
    RIDLEY -> DAICOS
    DARCY -> DCAM
    BANK: 142K

    I’m now torn on my third trade and The teams posted above for you to see my structure. Mckenna looks a solid onfield option but do I need it? Chandlers JS scares me

    TU: CHESSER -> MCKENNA
    TD: CHESSER -> CHANDLER via ADavey

  91. T/U – Macrae, Chesser & Bytel to Setterfield, McKenna & Ziebell:

    This gets 2 rookies off field in Wilmot (replaced by McKenna) and Phillipou (replaced by Ziebell)

    T/D – Macrae, Callaghan & Bytel to English, Ziebell & Caminiti

    This gets me the 3 best rucks (have Cameron & Marshall already – D Cam up forward), but leaves me playing an extra rookie in midfield

  92. TU – Ziebell, Setterfield and Chandler + 10k

    TD – Ziebell/Setterfield, Ashcroft and Chandler +100k

  93. Could really use the help everyone.

    TU: Greene to Chandler
    TD: Chesser to Bergman

    I understand that Chandler is more desirable than Bergman however, i don’t have the DPP option to get rid of Chesser and get Chandler.

    Any help would be great!
