I have swapped Parker and Moore about ten times in two days, Parker will be a popular in this week. Moore might just come in as a POD, still has a 102 point average, Parker is 104 so not much difference there just the $25k you could bank for next week with Moore. Moore helps with my bye rounds as well which are not far away.
Trying to decide who would be consistent and a keeper for the rest of the year out of
-stewart(know he’s expensive but happy to get if he scores well consistently)
-Sicily(consistent but i’m looking to take a risk still happy to get though)
-Dale(feel like he’ll come good later on in the year)
-pendlebury(same as sicily)
-vlaustin(already made his money so not much point)
Had Pruess and Hayes for Rucks last week This week’s trade
Out Odriscoll Horne Francis and Hayes from Saints
In Clark Mccomb and Witts
Tu good trades
TD Don’t use a boost for this
I currently have 4 Def keepers 6/7 mid keepers and possible 6 forward keepers Witts would be a ruck keeper Reasonable cash gen and 21 trades left
Good score last week, but don’t want S Hayes as my R2 for much longer. What do people think of this trade?
Whitfield, JHF, Dixon to Gawn, Curtis, Clark
Was going to get strandica however he is out this week. Which is the better downgrade option this week? I feel there will be plenty on the bubble next week..
Really appreciate the feedback mate, cheers! Really wanted to get Parker in, however those 2 trades won’t get the job done cash wise, I’d have to use a boost. You’ve given me a bit to think about though so thanks heaps!
With a view to overall cash generation who do I bring in this week? (Clark next week if Curtis in this week, assuming he is not injured this week – think I might have answered my own question !)
I’ve got Rowell at M8. Is it worth going down to Clark, O’Driscoll up to Sicily?
Will give me a better on field rookie and a better premo.
Or just trying to be to clever, maybe wait a week?
Rowell will easily make his BE so you can trade him next round for a better price then bring in Clark on bubble. NOD should hopefully have a better game at home against the likes of Kangaroos. Sicily is a keeper though so as long as Clark doesn’t injury himself there’s really no wrong answer I reckon.
Looks like it is the Cripps, Parker, Short, Curtis, McComb and Clark week for trades!!
My query is:
T/U Pendlebury DEF / MID / $542,700 (up $50k) / Aver 106.9 / Last 3 Aver: 107.3 / BE = 91 / very consistent
T/D Zorko DEF / MID / $516,200 (down $79k) / Aver $89.4 / Last 3 Aver: 108.7 / BE = 107 / averaged 109.4 last year & high ceiling but Achilles issue earlier this year
What do we know (if anything) of Curtis’s, Hamilton’s and McComb’s job security? I’d rather trade in Hamilton this week for the DPP flexibility, but also don’t want to jump on early if his place isn’t as solid as the others…
McComb is currently running the wing that is usually occupied by Hunter, who is on personal leave with no set return date.
Hamilton came in last week for Tanner Bruhn (omitted). Has solid VFL form and the Giants had a big win in his first game. Leon Cameron coaches them.
Curtis probably has the best JS out of the three, but he plays forward for a team that will finish bottom 4. If you’re just looking for steady 40s and 50s on the bench, he’s your guy this week.
TU
OUT O ‘Driscoll , Rachele plus 121k
IN Touk, McComb
OR use three trades
TD
OUT Butters, Rachele, Whitfield
IN Touk, Parker and Clark
The first option (2 trades) allows me to keep Whitfield and butters and I am gaining a premo in Touk
The second option (3 trades) allows me to get in 2 premium players at the expense of Whitfield and butters but I lose butters in the process( so probably only gaining a nett 1 premium player
Hey guys, contemplating a couple of different moves this week, definitely getting In Cripps and wanting to get in Parker before he becomes unaffordable.
Trade I’m considering is
Rachelle > Clarke (via mccartin and NOD)
Berry > Cripps
Brodie > Parker
I’m 6k short of being able to go JHF to Cripps
What do you guys think, too much of sideways trades?
Bit concerned Parker is a must have and Cripps definitely is.
Appreciate the feedback.
Team is as follows:
What about getting McComb this week instead of Clark?
Will allow you to get Parker and Cripps this week and still get Clark next week when he’s on the bubble.
Alternatively go for Moore (Haw) instead of Parker if you’re set on getting Clark this week and you can go JHF to Cripps.
I think the “peak” score would only happen at the end of the season, so you’re probably looking at around a $100k increase by the round 14 bye (using an average of 90). For a stepping stone, that’s about right.
There’s not a lot of history of him playing without Grundy, but he did post a 113 the one time it happened last year (versus Melbourne). Small sample size, but shows he scores well as solo ruck – it’s a higher-risk, higher-reward play that could help make up ground on some of the leaders. Especially as the top forwards are still settling out a bit and / or are injured (there’s a gap after English, Dunkley, and Heeney, where there are about 8-10 that could fill those last three spots).
Could be a handy F6 and could cover some of the bye rounds if he gets ruck DPP (which would be a shock if he didn’t by that point, as he’ll be playing mostly ruck for the 5 rounds before the next DPP adjustments after round 12).
Is Mills too expensive? Is Parker a must have this week due to his price?
T/U Mills (his top 8 mid and becoming more expensive by the week)
T/D Parker (cheaper, strengthens the forward line and can use the extra 140k next week elsewhere)
Any love for Luke McDonald. Take out his R3 score of 28 and he averages 101.
Price $422K. BE 45. DPP. The ball might be in Roos backline a bit to. Round 14 Bye.
Trading one this week for McComb and the other next week for Clark, who goes first?
TU: trade J.Berry
TD: trade JHF
I guess the deciding factor will be who scores more this week as I will be fielding the one I keep.
Berry seems the obvious hold to me as he’s got the eagles this week, but hasn’t attended a centre bounce for 2 weeks now, so I’m a bit iffy! Let me know what you think haha
Have Witherden, hewitt and Skinner in my def. So facing a donut.
Macrae BE 200. Back to back sub 100’s. Every year Macrae has a purple patch ave 140 for a few games. I think he’s already had it. He will drop in price and is no certainty to keep up his points per minute due to the coach(Mr magnets).
Usually an uber premo who has a bad game backs it up the following week. Macrae has not this time around.
-Macrae and 2 basically fattened up rookies out.(NOD, Dixon)
-Stewart and short in with Mccomb.
Clark covers Macrae somewhat(with a loop). Short is an upgrade for a rookie(Nod) and stewart replaces a donut.
Macrae drops in price and is picked up again at a 120 BE. Or Mills.
TU: Good plan, Stewart and short both in with low BE’s is a solid play.
TD: Macrae will punish you. Short and Stewart aren’t worth it.
Defence will be Doc, withers, Hewitt, Stewart, Short LLoyd.
Mid, Steel, oliver Neale, Touk, Parish, Jelly, Green a looped rookie(Clark)
Is Butters to Parker a silly trade? Butters is the only player I am willing to trade that gets me there, but it feels a bit sideways/luxury at this point.
TU: Do it, get your boy Luke in
TD: Wait and see on butters, hold till his bye and see what happens
Any love for grabbing Darcy over Gawn this week? Need S Hayes off the park, and whichever ruckmen I don’t take this week will most likely be a Preuss upgrade in the coming weeks. If fully fit, Darcy can pump out some monster scores and we might not see him this cheap again.
Bringing McComb in for O’Driscoll this week. I want Parker but need to drop Dixon to get him in. Only reason for question is Dixon could make me another 60-70k.
Who would then be the best downgrade this week?
McComb i dont love as i would like to keep spaces on MID bench open for the better rookies next week, dont love Curtis scoring potential.
Would Strandica be a good option (apparently not in H and S) if i have ruck bench space?
Last week traded out Grundy, D.Stephens & Xerri > Preuss, S.Hayes (via Dixon DPP), Sicily (via Sinn DDP). This week feel like going NOD & Rachele > L.Parker & G.Clark (via Sinn DDP), but Short would look nice in my backline.
My current team before trades:
DEF: Crisp, Hewett, Sicily, Ridley, Bowey, O’Driscoll (McCartin, Gibcus)
MID: Steele, Macrae, Neale, Oliver, Crippa, Brodie, N.Daicos, JHF, (Ward, Sinn, Hollands)
RUC: Gawn, Preuss (S.Hayes)
FWD: Dunkley, Butters, Cogs, N.Martin, Rachele, Durdin (C.MacDonald, H.Dixon)
$195,700 in the bank, 29 trades left, three trade boosts left
Any feedback/advice is greatly appreciated
G.Clark out this week due to H&S protocols so maybe go for McComb or Curtis who are both on the bubble instead.
Looking at the team I think your forward line needs addressing more than the defence. De Koning/Gibcus look good at the moment for 65 , so D6 is solid. I’m doing similiar trades and Parker’s coming in to stablise the forwards.
Interesting but Xerri not out for long enough. Because he went out with an injury we didn’t get to see at selection if North had really had enough of him as primary ruck.
Personally think they were set to go to Goldy and CCJ as a 2:1 but not worth the risk of Xerri coming back and unsettling things, especially with Parker at 510k and English close to a return as a better options.
That’s fair GD. Although it’s a tasty price, Xerri is probably not out for long enough to justify bringing in Goldy, especially if English returns this week
Trades 27
7k ITB
DEF: Crisp, Sicily, Hewett, Short, Daicos, Gibcus, (NOD, McCartin)
MID: Steele, Macrae, Neale, Oliver, Brayshaw, Cripps, Brodie, JHF, (Ward, Stephens, Uwland)
RUC: Gawn, Preuss, (SHayes)
FWD: Dunkley, Heeney, Butters, Cogs, Martin, SDK, (Dixon, Rosas)
Will Hewett play this week? At the moment I am thinking just NOD to Curtis/McComb if that is even necessary. Have not been keeping up with the footy this week. Was wondering if anyone’s going for English, or waiting for Preuss to fatten.
Please give any ideas/thoughts. Thanks
In order to get cripps i need to trade out either hinge or mccartin . think hinge has more money to make but mccartin has better js. ik it’s probably too early to trade them but it’s now or never for getting in cripps i think
Rioli at Richmond had an easy game last week against WCE, I need the $$$ to bring in Parker or Moore. Has Rioli got the JS works for the bye round and DPP. Is he worth the trade
T/U
T/D
Not sure I’d be super confident with Rioli’s JS off one game against a really bad team. McComb seems safer than him at least imo. Even Hamilton from GWS
Cheers CT. I get that, I was wondering if anyone knew anything like GC have been waiting for him to come back into the side, etc – anything like that that may give an indication of his role.
I think he played a lock down defender roll. It has been such a long time.
He was never a prolific scorer or played many games in a season.
He is 31.
2011 8 games Ave 68.8
2012 5 games Ave 66.2
2013 21 games Ave 69.2
2014 19 games Ave 58.4
2015 12 games Ave 47.8
2016 14 games Ave 55.9
2017 7 games Ave 59.4
2018 17 games Ave 48.9
Thompson has played three matches in the VFL this season, defending against the opposition’s best key forward and averaging nine disposals, three marks and three tackles per game.
From Gold Coast Suns Website.
Anyone considering chopping hewett due to the uncertainty of his return? Don’t like holding players where they could potentially be out for longer than 2 weeks. Also have Witherden in my side.
Yeah, Witherden felt like a genius move for me when he immediately scored 150 but definitely hurting this week. I’ve shifted Hewett to my midfield and just using the two as loopholes for the week and hope they’re both back next week
Was hoping to get Witts this week as running rucks with Pruess and Hayes
Trade ins were Witts Mccomb and Clark
Now Clark is out I need suggestions for another option
Tu Hold the trade
Td Just bring in mccomb
I’m keen to hear people’s thoughts on whether we think we’ll see Stephens again? He’s my only DNP (barring Hewett and English), and I’m wondering if it’s worth trading to a warm body rather than holding…
Brought in Clark early and of course he’s in H & S protocols!
I’m almost tempted to keep my hands tied this week, especially with how I’ve set myself up for the byes (Cheers Macca!) – not convinced on Mccomb and I don’t want to keep dead rookies on my mid bench with possibly Carroll and Cooper Hamilton next week. Lots of movement to come from my defence rookies soon too. Ideally would like to move Hayes, but he’s useful to loophole Dixon/Rosas this week and possibly chucking the big C on him.
Berry plays WC this week and JHF goes BE goes down in the next price cycle so I don’t want to move them, but here is my proposed trade:
T/u: Berry > Parker, JHF > Mccomb
T/d: Hold trades
With all the injuries, Covid H&S maybe SC should just be the best 20 scores similiar to the bye rounds. Well that would suit my team at the moment LOL. Seems I have developed the knack in picking injurys, H&S in the last two rounds.
Bloody hell it’s tempting to trade out Hewett. If he misses next week as well, you could steal a huge march on the rankings by going up to a Stewart, for example.
TU – so rachele, horne Francis, odriscol – (moved to midfield to cripps, Curtis and Jack carrol and around 180k left over (will get Parker next week)
TD – daicos & rachele to cripps and Curtis
Concern also with me atm is that daicos may not play, but also do know he will go up another 50k or so
– have been using quiet a few trades lately and have 2 midfield emergency’s out and one in which is soligo and he might not even play
Bit late I know boys but Zeibell has to go
TU- Zeibell and Rachele to Mccomb and Stewart
TD – Zeibell and Rachele to
Mcomb and Hewett just have to play NOD if Hewett out this week still, thanks guys
Can only bring in one…
T/U – McComb
T/D – Curtis
And which of these as my F2 scores the most for the rest of the year?
T/U – Parker
T/D – Moore
I have swapped Parker and Moore about ten times in two days, Parker will be a popular in this week. Moore might just come in as a POD, still has a 102 point average, Parker is 104 so not much difference there just the $25k you could bank for next week with Moore. Moore helps with my bye rounds as well which are not far away.
Gidday W, Parker for me, has a proven history & a huge ceiling
Trying to decide who would be consistent and a keeper for the rest of the year out of
-stewart(know he’s expensive but happy to get if he scores well consistently)
-Sicily(consistent but i’m looking to take a risk still happy to get though)
-Dale(feel like he’ll come good later on in the year)
-pendlebury(same as sicily)
-vlaustin(already made his money so not much point)
Comment below thoughts
Gidday C, need to wait on Stewart for his price to drop, dont chase pts.
As for the rest I would rate them
Sicily
Pendles
Dale
Valustin
majority have disliked this comment so does that mean i should chase points and go stewart?

Had Pruess and Hayes for Rucks last week This week’s trade
Out Odriscoll Horne Francis and Hayes from Saints
In Clark Mccomb and Witts
Tu good trades
TD Don’t use a boost for this
I currently have 4 Def keepers 6/7 mid keepers and possible 6 forward keepers Witts would be a ruck keeper Reasonable cash gen and 21 trades left
Two trade options
TU: Rachele & O’Driscoll to D Moore and Clark
TD: Daicos & Rachele to J Short and Clark
Don’t know where else to put this, but does anyone know if we still get 3 trades through the byes without using a boost?
Yes, we do and using a boost makes four!
I knew that, but I kind of forgot it – will definitely come in handy as long as some rookies come through around then.
TU: Cripps
TD: Short
Why not both
TU bailey dale
TD Parker/moore
This one really depends on what rookie you can get off field cause they’re all decent options
TU: Clark
TD: Mccomb/Curtis
Good score last week, but don’t want S Hayes as my R2 for much longer. What do people think of this trade?
Whitfield, JHF, Dixon to Gawn, Curtis, Clark
T/U – Yes
T/D – No
Pendlebury t/u
Crisp t/d
Was going to get strandica however he is out this week. Which is the better downgrade option this week? I feel there will be plenty on the bubble next week..
Tu; Rioli
Td; Curtis
Hi guys, would greatly appreciate some feedback or advice on my team. Thanks!
27 Trades remaining
Backs – Stewart, Crisp, Sinclair, Short, Ridley, Gibcus (McCartin, Kelly)
Mids – Macrae, Miller, Brayshaw, Petracca, Cripps, Daicos, O’Driscoll (Hobbs, Hough, Soligo)
Rucks – Gawn, Preuss (Hayes)
Fwds – Dunkley, Butters, Coniglio, Martin, Rachelle, DeKoning (MacDonald, DeKoning)
I’m thinking for this week trades:
Out: Rachelle, Daicos
In: Clark, Hewett
T/U – Great call
T/D – Nahhhh
Hewett is a test so wait till final teams
Brother, you’ve got more than enough rookies to move on for others and you want to cull your most reliable point scorer in Daicos.
Perhaps look at players that are giving you the worst ROI
Ie: Mc Cartin out, De Koning back, Curtis in and Clarke in however you feel
More thoughts – O’Driscoll to Clark, then power up and turn Rachelle into L Parker
Really appreciate the feedback mate, cheers! Really wanted to get Parker in, however those 2 trades won’t get the job done cash wise, I’d have to use a boost. You’ve given me a bit to think about though so thanks heaps!
**Draft**
Just traded Greene and B. Crouch for Green, Stringer and Pickett
Who won?
TU: Greene and B. Crouch

Have Gawn at r1 and s. hayes at r2
Tu
Rachele and Caldwell
To McComb and Parker at f3
Td
Rachele and j hayes
To McComb and preuss at r2
Hey guys
Thumbs up – Clark
Thumbs down – Carroll
One must go…..
T/U – JHF
T/D – NOD
I’ve traded JHF instead of O’Driscoll after looking at their upcoming matches.
Freo play North (home), Suns (away) & Pies (home)
North play Freo (away), Port (Tas) & Melb (home)
More chance of O’Driscoll having a big game in a big win than JHF. Plus the Mid/Def helps my team currently too.
DEF: Crisp, Sicily, Hewett, Short, Bowey, NOD (Gibcus, McCartin)
MID: Steele, Macrae, Neale, Oliver, B.Smith, Cripps, Daicos, JHF (Ward/MacDonald/Hough)
RUC: Gawn, Pruess (S.Hayes)
FWD: Dunks, Brodie, Butters, Cogs, Xerri, Martin (De Koning/Rosas)
Trade 1
McCartin to Clark (MID) via DPP
Xerri to:
TU: Parker in FWD (& $147K)
TD: Stewart in DEF ( & $59K)
Cheers
TU OUT Rachele , Dixon 121k
IN Parker , Clark
TD OUT O ‘Driscoll , Rachele 121k
IN Miller, McComb
Basically it is a decision between getting Touk or Parker
Parker to “tag, run-with, block, etc.” Miller this week???
Tu Yes (coz you have him onboard this week)
Td No (coz you don’t have him onboard this week)
Option 1
TU
OUT Rachele , Dixon plus 121k
IN Parker , Clark
Option 2
TD
OUT O ‘Driscoll , Rachele plus 121k
IN Miller, McComb
Basically it is a decision between getting Touk or Parker
Or comment on option 3
OUT Brodie, o’Driscoll and Daicos
IN Touk, Parker and Clark
Uses a booster to do these 3 trades
O’Driscall to Clark
Rachele to Cripps
Yes or no?
Good trades warrior
TU
OUT Brodie, o’Driscoll and Daicos
Or
TD
OUT Butters, Rachele, Whitfield
IN Touk, Parker and Clark for either options above
With a view to overall cash generation who do I bring in this week? (Clark next week if Curtis in this week, assuming he is not injured this week – think I might have answered my own question !)
T/U – Clark
T/D – Curtis
Thanks !
I’ve got Rowell at M8. Is it worth going down to Clark, O’Driscoll up to Sicily?
Will give me a better on field rookie and a better premo.
Or just trying to be to clever, maybe wait a week?
Rowell will easily make his BE so you can trade him next round for a better price then bring in Clark on bubble. NOD should hopefully have a better game at home against the likes of Kangaroos. Sicily is a keeper though so as long as Clark doesn’t injury himself there’s really no wrong answer I reckon.
TU Oliver
TD Miller
Morning everyone
Looks like it is the Cripps, Parker, Short, Curtis, McComb and Clark week for trades!!
My query is:
T/U Pendlebury DEF / MID / $542,700 (up $50k) / Aver 106.9 / Last 3 Aver: 107.3 / BE = 91 / very consistent
T/D Zorko DEF / MID / $516,200 (down $79k) / Aver $89.4 / Last 3 Aver: 108.7 / BE = 107 / averaged 109.4 last year & high ceiling but Achilles issue earlier this year
I will Bring in one of these guys this week and the other one next week. Who should I bring in First?
T/U – Parker
T/D – Clarry
I think I will go for parker as he will gain more cash than Oliver this week, so I’ll save enough to ensure I can get clarry next week.
What do we know (if anything) of Curtis’s, Hamilton’s and McComb’s job security? I’d rather trade in Hamilton this week for the DPP flexibility, but also don’t want to jump on early if his place isn’t as solid as the others…
Any advice/thoughts would be really appreciated!
McComb is currently running the wing that is usually occupied by Hunter, who is on personal leave with no set return date.
Hamilton came in last week for Tanner Bruhn (omitted). Has solid VFL form and the Giants had a big win in his first game. Leon Cameron coaches them.
Curtis probably has the best JS out of the three, but he plays forward for a team that will finish bottom 4. If you’re just looking for steady 40s and 50s on the bench, he’s your guy this week.
You could also say that Curtis has the best/last bye.
I.e hope he plays and makes some cash until r14 and then trade him to someone who has already had a bye.
McComb on the wing????
Which is the better option here.. 2 trades to do
TU
OUT O ‘Driscoll , Rachele plus 121k
IN Touk, McComb
OR use three trades
TD
OUT Butters, Rachele, Whitfield
IN Touk, Parker and Clark
The first option (2 trades) allows me to keep Whitfield and butters and I am gaining a premo in Touk
The second option (3 trades) allows me to get in 2 premium players at the expense of Whitfield and butters but I lose butters in the process( so probably only gaining a nett 1 premium player
Which is the better option
TU- Caldwell, Rachelle > Parker, Clarke
TD- Whitfield, Rachelle > Short, Clarke
Out – Daicos, JHF, Rachele
In – Hewett, Short, Clark
Hewett’s a test for this week. If named, great trades. If not, hold Daicos for another week or two.
Bit of a long post, sorry in advance
Hey guys, contemplating a couple of different moves this week, definitely getting In Cripps and wanting to get in Parker before he becomes unaffordable.
Trade I’m considering is
Rachelle > Clarke (via mccartin and NOD)
Berry > Cripps
Brodie > Parker
I’m 6k short of being able to go JHF to Cripps
What do you guys think, too much of sideways trades?
Bit concerned Parker is a must have and Cripps definitely is.
Appreciate the feedback.
Team is as follows:
DEF : crisp, Sinclair, hewett, short, daicos, McCartin (gibcus, SDK)
MID: Steele, Macrae, Neale, Oliver, Touk, Trac, berry, JHF ( NOD, stephens, tsitas)
RUCK: Gawn, Preuss (S.Hayes)
FWD : dunks, butters, Brodie, cogs, Martin, rachelle ( Cmac, lohman)
118k In the bank
What about getting McComb this week instead of Clark?
Will allow you to get Parker and Cripps this week and still get Clark next week when he’s on the bubble.
Alternatively go for Moore (Haw) instead of Parker if you’re set on getting Clark this week and you can go JHF to Cripps.
Thinking about bringing in Darcy Cameron this week as a stepping stone player.
Doing so allows me to cull my two worst performing rookies McCartin and Ward and turn them into points on field + better cash gen
Would also leave me with only 3 true rookies left on field (Martin, Daicos and JHF)
Trades left 22 after doing 2 this week
Darcy Cameron

Most of those averages occurred with Grundy and less time on ground. Playing sole ruck last week he scored 115 against Witts.
Besides if that math holds true he’s made 130k and is a good stepping stone to an Uber primo across the buys
Would get Ruck DPP at some point and will be handy as a swing.
I think the “peak” score would only happen at the end of the season, so you’re probably looking at around a $100k increase by the round 14 bye (using an average of 90). For a stepping stone, that’s about right.
There’s not a lot of history of him playing without Grundy, but he did post a 113 the one time it happened last year (versus Melbourne). Small sample size, but shows he scores well as solo ruck – it’s a higher-risk, higher-reward play that could help make up ground on some of the leaders. Especially as the top forwards are still settling out a bit and / or are injured (there’s a gap after English, Dunkley, and Heeney, where there are about 8-10 that could fill those last three spots).
Could be a handy F6 and could cover some of the bye rounds if he gets ruck DPP (which would be a shock if he didn’t by that point, as he’ll be playing mostly ruck for the 5 rounds before the next DPP adjustments after round 12).

I guess the deciding factor will be who scores more this week as I will be fielding the one I keep.
Berry seems the obvious hold to me as he’s got the eagles this week, but hasn’t attended a centre bounce for 2 weeks now, so I’m a bit iffy! Let me know what you think haha
Cheers!
T/U
O’driscoll to bench bring in any Premo Defender
wluld leave daicos D6
T/D
Rosas to bench bring in any Premo Forward
Would leave Nic Martin F6
Looking to downgrade rachele to a cheap forward rookie, who is the best option at the moment
(Have Baldwin and dixon as subs)
cooper hamilton who’s only played 1 so far.
Can you get Mccomb in any way by getting Rachele to mid’s?
Curtis (NTH).
Sorry, I went early on Curtis due to xerri, Hayes, Dixon and my loop and forgot about him.
Best DEF option under $480k
TU: Perryman
TD: McDonald
Have Witherden, hewitt and Skinner in my def. So facing a donut.
Macrae BE 200. Back to back sub 100’s. Every year Macrae has a purple patch ave 140 for a few games. I think he’s already had it. He will drop in price and is no certainty to keep up his points per minute due to the coach(Mr magnets).
Usually an uber premo who has a bad game backs it up the following week. Macrae has not this time around.
-Macrae and 2 basically fattened up rookies out.(NOD, Dixon)
-Stewart and short in with Mccomb.
Clark covers Macrae somewhat(with a loop). Short is an upgrade for a rookie(Nod) and stewart replaces a donut.
Macrae drops in price and is picked up again at a 120 BE. Or Mills.
TU: Good plan, Stewart and short both in with low BE’s is a solid play.
TD: Macrae will punish you. Short and Stewart aren’t worth it.
Defence will be Doc, withers, Hewitt, Stewart, Short LLoyd.
Mid, Steel, oliver Neale, Touk, Parish, Jelly, Green a looped rookie(Clark)
Is Butters to Parker a silly trade? Butters is the only player I am willing to trade that gets me there, but it feels a bit sideways/luxury at this point.
TU: Do it, get your boy Luke in
TD: Wait and see on butters, hold till his bye and see what happens
Butters has a rd 12 bye so the hold till byes advice doesn’t really apply.
If you don’t have bigger problems go for it
How should I get in this week?
T/u Stewart
T/d touk
T/U: Berry, Rachele, O’Driscoll > McComb, Parker, Short
T/U: Bowey, Rachele, O’Driscoll > Clark, Parker, Short
Any love for grabbing Darcy over Gawn this week? Need S Hayes off the park, and whichever ruckmen I don’t take this week will most likely be a Preuss upgrade in the coming weeks. If fully fit, Darcy can pump out some monster scores and we might not see him this cheap again.
Gidday Gaz, Darcy misses to many games, either go Gawn or wait for the Preuss upgrade.
Go with Witts he’s been the clear no2 ruck this season if you can’t get Gawn this week
To get Gawn I’d have to use my third boost and get rid of JHF (who I think can still make some money at M8 for now). Decisions
Is it worth trading Hobbs to McComb even if I have 2 dead rookies in Worner & Hollands?
Bringing McComb in for O’Driscoll this week. I want Parker but need to drop Dixon to get him in. Only reason for question is Dixon could make me another 60-70k.
TU – Bring in Parker
TD – Hold Dixon
WCE: Greg Clark Has entered Health and Safety Protocols.
Reverse those trades.
Who would then be the best downgrade this week?
McComb i dont love as i would like to keep spaces on MID bench open for the better rookies next week, dont love Curtis scoring potential.
Would Strandica be a good option (apparently not in H and S) if i have ruck bench space?
have heard daicos has gastro?
Nick Daicos, Brayden Maynard, Taylor Adams and Reef McInnes are dealing with the flu.
Collingwood are hopeful all will play.
Last week traded out Grundy, D.Stephens & Xerri > Preuss, S.Hayes (via Dixon DPP), Sicily (via Sinn DDP). This week feel like going NOD & Rachele > L.Parker & G.Clark (via Sinn DDP), but Short would look nice in my backline.
My current team before trades:
DEF: Crisp, Hewett, Sicily, Ridley, Bowey, O’Driscoll (McCartin, Gibcus)
MID: Steele, Macrae, Neale, Oliver, Crippa, Brodie, N.Daicos, JHF, (Ward, Sinn, Hollands)
RUC: Gawn, Preuss (S.Hayes)
FWD: Dunkley, Butters, Cogs, N.Martin, Rachele, Durdin (C.MacDonald, H.Dixon)
$195,700 in the bank, 29 trades left, three trade boosts left
Any feedback/advice is greatly appreciated
G.Clark out this week due to H&S protocols so maybe go for McComb or Curtis who are both on the bubble instead.
Looking at the team I think your forward line needs addressing more than the defence. De Koning/Gibcus look good at the moment for 65 , so D6 is solid. I’m doing similiar trades and Parker’s coming in to stablise the forwards.
Gidday JJ,
$195700, 29T/3B. Time to start trading. Parker would be a must for any rookie bar Martin. Brodie to Miller if you can work it.
Hey Willy,
Can’t get Miller, unfortunately
Now that clark is out
TU: Curtis
TD: McComb
Thoughts on Goldstein at his price ($414k) + DPP with Xerri out?
Went big when solo ruck last week….could be a genius move.
Interesting but Xerri not out for long enough. Because he went out with an injury we didn’t get to see at selection if North had really had enough of him as primary ruck.
Personally think they were set to go to Goldy and CCJ as a 2:1 but not worth the risk of Xerri coming back and unsettling things, especially with Parker at 510k and English close to a return as a better options.
That’s fair GD. Although it’s a tasty price, Xerri is probably not out for long enough to justify bringing in Goldy, especially if English returns this week
JHF to
TU: McComb
TD: Greg Clark (go a week early)
And just like that G.Clark out this week due to H&S protocols. The ol’ Supercoach101 rules hold true
Yep…..the old never bring in a rookie not on the bubble rule. Just like SC102 and sideways trading guns.
TU: JHF/ Daicos > McCoomb/ Parker 75k itb
Or
TD: JHayes/ Daicos> Curtis/ Parker 8k inb
Thoughts?
Brodie/ Daicos to Curtis/ Mills
Rachele & L. Jackson to Curtis & Short?
Trades 27
7k ITB
DEF: Crisp, Sicily, Hewett, Short, Daicos, Gibcus, (NOD, McCartin)
MID: Steele, Macrae, Neale, Oliver, Brayshaw, Cripps, Brodie, JHF, (Ward, Stephens, Uwland)
RUC: Gawn, Preuss, (SHayes)
FWD: Dunkley, Heeney, Butters, Cogs, Martin, SDK, (Dixon, Rosas)
Will Hewett play this week? At the moment I am thinking just NOD to Curtis/McComb if that is even necessary. Have not been keeping up with the footy this week. Was wondering if anyone’s going for English, or waiting for Preuss to fatten.
Please give any ideas/thoughts. Thanks
In order to get cripps i need to trade out either hinge or mccartin . think hinge has more money to make but mccartin has better js. ik it’s probably too early to trade them but it’s now or never for getting in cripps i think
tu- trade mccartin
td- trade hinge
TU: McComb
TD: Curtis
One must go…..
t/u – Durdin
t/d – H.Dixon
And is it worth a boost to go to Curtis?
Who to trade out
TU – Daicos
TD – JHF
Wait until Saturday if you can. Rumours all week about Daicos being down with the flu, could potentially be a late out
Quick one
TU: JHF/Stephens for Curtis/Parker
TD: McCartin/JHF for Curtis/Touk
Rioli at Richmond had an easy game last week against WCE, I need the $$$ to bring in Parker or Moore. Has Rioli got the JS works for the bye round and DPP. Is he worth the trade
T/U
T/D
1 Out: JHF, Rachele or C Macdonald (Hawks) ?
In: Sicily, Parker or Cripps ?
thx
Any idea when hewett will be back?
Who scores better you think?
TU NOD
TD SDK
Also is it worth changing Clark to Rioli JNR?
TU yep warm body on bench and easy games coming up
TD wait just to see if he keeps his spot
Can you do McComb or Curtis as rookies on the bubble?
Already brought Curtis in but looking at Mccomb now just really worry about his JS and the 30’s score he dropped in first game
Not sure I’d be super confident with Rioli’s JS off one game against a really bad team. McComb seems safer than him at least imo. Even Hamilton from GWS
Rachele, Xerri > McComb, Short
Rory Thompson’s job security?
Thompson last played AFL on July 28, 2018. He has played 3 VFL games this year.
How would we know about his JS until he has played a few games?
Unknown how he will go after two knee reconstructions and long time away from the AFL.
Watch his performances and evaluate after a few games.
Wishing him well, and that he makes a successful return.
Cheers CT. I get that, I was wondering if anyone knew anything like GC have been waiting for him to come back into the side, etc – anything like that that may give an indication of his role.
I think he played a lock down defender roll. It has been such a long time.
He was never a prolific scorer or played many games in a season.
He is 31.
2011 8 games Ave 68.8
2012 5 games Ave 66.2
2013 21 games Ave 69.2
2014 19 games Ave 58.4
2015 12 games Ave 47.8
2016 14 games Ave 55.9
2017 7 games Ave 59.4
2018 17 games Ave 48.9
Thompson has played three matches in the VFL this season, defending against the opposition’s best key forward and averaging nine disposals, three marks and three tackles per game.
From Gold Coast Suns Website.
Hearing that George hewett had a bleed in his corked calf that has now spread to his Achilles, will be out for a couple more weeks
I have heard that report from a non official source.
Carlton’s priority is to have Hewett ready for the trip to face GWS next week so they took a cautious approach, as they did with Cripps v Port.
TU Parker
TD Touk Miller
Who to trade in this week?
Hi everyone – Who will score more this round?
T/U McComb
T/D Carroll
Do we know if Carroll is likely to hold his spot for long though…?
Anyone considering chopping hewett due to the uncertainty of his return? Don’t like holding players where they could potentially be out for longer than 2 weeks. Also have Witherden in my side.
Thoughts appreciated!
Yeah, Witherden felt like a genius move for me when he immediately scored 150 but definitely hurting this week. I’ve shifted Hewett to my midfield and just using the two as loopholes for the week and hope they’re both back next week
anyone heard anything on daicos ?
What are the chances he’s playing you reckon? Possible late out due to illness ?
Daicos participated in the Captain’s run this morning along side fellow flu sufferers Taylor Adams, and Braden Maynard.
Good sign that the trio will play.
Was hoping to get Witts this week as running rucks with Pruess and Hayes
Trade ins were Witts Mccomb and Clark
Now Clark is out I need suggestions for another option
Tu Hold the trade
Td Just bring in mccomb
Is Llyod worth trading out?
TU: Don’t trade have 24 in the bank. Have to field one of Driscoll or rachelle
TD: Do rachele to curtis. Have to field curtis or rosas
Hey Willy,
Can’t get Miller, unfortunately
O’Driscoll/ JHayes/ Rachele
To
McComb/ Curtis/ Parker
I’m keen to hear people’s thoughts on whether we think we’ll see Stephens again? He’s my only DNP (barring Hewett and English), and I’m wondering if it’s worth trading to a warm body rather than holding…
McCartin, J. Hayes & Gollant for Wines, McComb & Strnadica
Isn’t strnadica out this week with H&S protocols?
It was originally reported, but WCE have confirmed its not the case.
2 boosts left
Thinking to get Parker in either:
Dixon/ JHayes/ Rachele > McComb/ Parker/ Curtis
Or
Save boost and go:
Daicos/ JHayes > Curtis/ Parker via SDK ddp
Backs – Sicily, Hewett, Sinclair, Short, Daicos, DeKoning (McCartin, O’Driscoll)
Mids – Macrae, Miller, Steele, Oliver, Cripps, Berry, Martin (JHF, Clark, Long)
Rucks – Gawn, Witts (Preuss)
Fwds – Dunkley, Butters, Coniglio, Treloar, Brodie, Rosas (Hayes, Dixon)
25 trades and 15K remaining
Brought in Clark early and of course he’s in H & S protocols!
I’m almost tempted to keep my hands tied this week, especially with how I’ve set myself up for the byes (Cheers Macca!) – not convinced on Mccomb and I don’t want to keep dead rookies on my mid bench with possibly Carroll and Cooper Hamilton next week. Lots of movement to come from my defence rookies soon too. Ideally would like to move Hayes, but he’s useful to loophole Dixon/Rosas this week and possibly chucking the big C on him.
Berry plays WC this week and JHF goes BE goes down in the next price cycle so I don’t want to move them, but here is my proposed trade:
T/u: Berry > Parker, JHF > Mccomb
T/d: Hold trades
Thanks!
Alternative spicy sideways trade that fits bye structure, POD and money: Treloar > Moore
Yes/No?
Hey, Fos.
Think you’re spot on, no problem with holding fire this week and I’m not a fan of McComb either.
Berry surely tons against us lol.
Suppose you could maybe get Hayes up to a FWD premo? Saves you the F6 hassle of Dixon/Rosas and you bring your spicy friend Moore in lol.
Thanks for the reply GD! Yeah I’m definitely counting on that Berry ton lol, don’t put up too much of a fight please
With all the injuries, Covid H&S maybe SC should just be the best 20 scores similiar to the bye rounds. Well that would suit my team at the moment LOL. Seems I have developed the knack in picking injurys, H&S in the last two rounds.
If your going to use a boost to get one:
Mills or
Parker
Bloody hell it’s tempting to trade out Hewett. If he misses next week as well, you could steal a huge march on the rankings by going up to a Stewart, for example.
TU trade
TD hold
If he is a test this week then surely would be back next week?
He was a test last week too.
I just saw the news on Twitter. Rumoured bleeding in his cork thigh so no guarantees his back next week.
I’m trading him. Can bring in Parker and Walsh by swinging O’Driscoll back. Also, at 536k you can get Hewett back when he returns.
Daicos +Ward out
Cripps + P Curtis in
now i have Vlastuin out i might can this trade
Upon reflection its a 40/50 pt upgrade and i have family commitments 300kms away this weekend so trading now to enjoy that
Thoughts on Luke McDonald? Take out his 28 vs Bris he averages 100. 420k with a BE of 45.
McComb this week
Carroll next week
Neither will be on field more for js
Is Whitfield worth trading out?
Hey lads – just need some help with a trade
TU – so rachele, horne Francis, odriscol – (moved to midfield to cripps, Curtis and Jack carrol and around 180k left over (will get Parker next week)
TD – daicos & rachele to cripps and Curtis
Concern also with me atm is that daicos may not play, but also do know he will go up another 50k or so
– have been using quiet a few trades lately and have 2 midfield emergency’s out and one in which is soligo and he might not even play
Thanks lads
VC
TU: JacMac
TD: Touk
Who to bring in for Xerri?
