  1. TU FOS Tsatas Hastie > Henderson Lash Lindsay + $80k
    Probably Perryman to Bice next week or can upgrade Perryman

    TD FOS Perryman Tsatas > O Sullivan Lash Lindsay + $240k
    Can also get Bice next week for Prior if needed or upgrade Flynn or Short with the $240k

  2. Hi everyone – just wondering best combo to bring in?

    T/U Dunkley and Dale (with $14 200 itb) or
    T/D Callaghan and Zorko (with $107 900 itb)

  3. My proposed trades for round 3.
    Out – Leake Boxshall (or FOS if Boxshall plays) Gawn
    In – NOD Lindsay and Rankin.
    I am holding Sanders this week as he has a very achievable BE
    I still have Perryman (who won’t lose value this week) and will probably become Bice if he is named for round 4.
    I have also changed my philosophy on the flex position.
    Better to have an extra consistent rookie scoring 80’s earlier in the season to enhance $ generation.
    Later in the season better to have someone one like Flynn who gives ruck cover when you are running low on trades.

  4. I’m very worried about Rankine’s hammy “awareness” when he was subbed on the weekend. I’m avoiding him now for that reason but not a lot of options for premium forwards. Hopefully with DPP in a few weeks, there maybe better variety.

    • I’m a bit surprised the majority have said FOS. I know He has shown a wore scoring potential but Tsatas is guatanteed to not make money for 2 weeks and then isnt even a lock to return with Parish available by then. What am I missing?

  5. Asked this in the previous one, still can’t make a decision.

    Jayden Short:

    TU – get rid of him

    TD – one more week

    Any insight from those who watched him would be handy.

    • As a Richmond fan the role he used to have isn’t there anymore which is a worry. Not taking kick-ins getting minimal on the run handballs. It says a lot when you have Ben Miller taking kick-ins over him. Ive started him in my team the last 3 years and it’s always been a trap. Could I see him scoring well this weekend, yes but not consistently moving forward.

  10. FOS a hold now over Tsatas?

    Fos only needs one spike score to get his cash gen moving, also likely to gain DPP and should be safe job security wise in that side.

    Tsatas on reduced minutes as it is, with Parish set to return shortly, becomes a bit of a job security risk.

    Who goes out this week:

    Tu: Fos
    Td: Tsatas

  12. Really struggling with this decision…

    Was planning on trading WAshcroft to Callaghan this week. Haven’t been impressed at all with Will, especially up until 3qtr time on the weekend. But a massive last qtr and a bit of a bake from Llordo might get him going. I am a little concerned about some attention Callaghan may get in the future too, but he’s so smooth.

    Anyway, should I trade WAshcroft -> Calaghan?

    TU – Yes, trade WAshcroft -> Callaghan
    TD – No, too sideways, back WAshcroft in a little longer.

    Thanks

      • That’s the key isn’t it?
        If Ashcroft is viewed as a stepping stone then a sideways to Callaghan might get you to Uber faster but if you were thinking that Ashcroft might be M8 then its probably a hold.

  13. Is Sheezel a worry for you? He’s getting plenty of possessions but about half are handballs. Is it because he’s in heavy traffic or copping a tag ? Plus I wonder is he getting enough CBA’s as last season? Can’t help but think the inclusion of Parker and Daniel along with some improvements from Simpkin and Powell affecting him around the ground. Thoughts?

  16. Appreciate feedback on this thought bubble.

    Currently ranked 37k after a terrible Round 2 which saw me tumble 31k spots… needless to say I’m giving my team a serious look this week for ways to improve not only this week but through the entire season.

    1. My premium picks haven’t fired (Sheezel, Gawn, and JHF)
    2. The mid-price picks are duds (Perryman, Peatling, Sanders, and Flynn), and
    3. I don’t have Levi Ashcroft who I think is a must have rookie.

    So this week…
    OUT: Sheezel, Gawn, JHF
    IN: Sinclair, Rozee, Ashcroft

    Move Flynn from Flex to R2 through the early byes; if he plays great, if not it’s best-18

    Next week…
    OUT: Perryman, Peatling, Paton
    IN: Whitfield, Dawson, Bice

    Following week…
    OUT: Flynn, Sanders, Rookie TBC any line
    IN: Xerri/RoMa/Briggs, Rookie TBC any line

    Coaches Verdict…
    Tu: Don’t do that, you’ve lost the plot
    Td: Give it a whirl, you can always start planning for next year early

      • hey FJW – It’s a great prompt…

        I had considered bringing in 3 premos for outgoing underperformers. I really didn’t want to hamstring my cash generation over the course of the season, hence the Levi inclusion this week. Plus, felt that I might be able to get away without a fully fielded team over the next 2 rounds given it’s Best-18.

        however, you have given me food for thought that maybe I should consider Xerri as a direct replacement over Sinclair or Rozee in this round… so, thanks for that!

    T/U: Dunkley (Monster R1, May be too hard to get in future, super consistent)

  23. Will be doing 3 trades –
    1. Perryman to either Whitfield or B Dale
    2. Tsatas to L Ashcroft

    3rd trade is either
    TU : FOS to Henderson
    TD : Paton to C O’Sullivan

    I did 2 corrective trades last week, so maybe i don’t need to use the boost for a 3rd trade this week when its best 18? But I think with rookies increasing in price, its the right time to cull ones I’m not happy with.

    • I like all three trades, but I think Dale may be a better option for 65k cheaper. I think they will score similar for the year and having the extra cash now could get you a quick upgrade if you already have a stepping stone in your side. Congrats on the hot start!

  36. first year playing this game, recently acquired my dads laptop and he said to maintain his SC team whilst he working offshore….current rank 30k so not doing him justice!

    What I need help with is price increases, Herald Sun offer a ‘free’ game but then charge to view breakevens. Unsure how you can be competitive without paying for SC Plus.
    Any recommendations for a website that gives you the breakevens, without the $29.95 or $59.95!(Codesports) charges…thank you in advance.

    • As a port fan I desperately want him to breakout ! He’s been touted forever. Has a good kick but lacking everywhere else and think he wouldn’t be in if it weren’t for injuries and lack of depth in ports list.

      He has JS and not a bad run of opponents so could be making good $. He is injury prone though, a reason he hasn’t had continuity as well.

      Enjoy

  44. Is it worth wasting a trade Tsatas while it’s still best 18 for the next two weeks (which is how long he should be out for)? I’ve got Lindsay and Camporeale as well on the bench, and I’ve already made two trades this week (Perryman and Day to Clark and Callaghan). Not sure if I want to use a boost to do that.

  51. Hey coaches, I have a bit of a dilemma with my first trades. Here’s my current team:
    Sheezel / Houston / Holmes / Roberts / O’Sullivan / Z. Reid // Trainor / Prior
    Daicos / Neale / Dawson / Oliver / Cerra / NOD / M. Reid / Knevitt // Camporeale / Tsatas / FOS
    TDK / Flynn // Boyd
    JHF / Rankine / Macrae / B. Smith / Davidson / Stone // Kako / Paton
    Flex is C. Daniel.

    The good: I grabbed most of the good rookies and most of my mid-pricers and premos have been solid.
    The bad: Ruck – I thought Flynn would play and be good for quick cash generation and as a stepping stone to a slightly fallen premium ruck. Also, my D1 (Sheezel) and F1 (JHF) are under-performing.

    I can *just* afford an aggressive move, or I could play it safe. I’m currently ranked around 12,000 (320 points off the leader) and have about $25k in the bank. I’m curious about people’s thoughts on the following two options:

    TU: Sheezel / FOS / Trainor –> Freijah / Callaghan / X. Lindsay.
    – This adds two potential keepers (or at least two stepping stones / late season upgrades). The downside is I’ll probably want to get Sheezel back in at some point. Given that I hit on most of my rookies and premos and haven’t used any of my 40 trades, I’m not worried about using three of them now.

    TD: FOS / Trainor –> Lindsay (or L.Ashcroft) / Henderson.
    – Gives me an extra rookie for cash generation. I could also go FOS / Paton if I wanted to get Lindsay AND L. Ashcroft (and skip Henderson).

    The plan after this week is 2-3 more rookies (e.g., Hamling, Clohesy, Bice) and then fix R2 with K. Briggs after his price dips ahead of round 5 (I’m okay carrying Flynn and Boyd over the two best-18 rounds).

    Thanks in advance for your input everyone!

  52. Hoping to get some opinions for the SC Talk community! I will be grabbing baz next week and need to make sure I have a plan to ensure he comes in without much difficulty. Which looks better?

    TU: Bring Freijah in this week, leaving me with 300k to turn any non playing rookie into Baz easily

    TD: Grab a premo defender this week, and lock in Short down to Bice next week regardless of what Short scores, which will give me the money to fund Baz

    FYI by doing TD i’d have to run 2 defender rookies!

    Cheers!

    • Reckon this is a classic case of Father Dougal’s reverting to the mean theory he discussed earlier in the week. Salem historically has good stretches of games then has quieter stretches of games. Also, May returns this week too which will impact Salem’s game.
