  12. Is R Atkins body good to go. Also what is his JS like?
    Any crows or Suns supporters got any insight?

    1. When he left the Crows I was a bit miffed as he was good value and a bit of X factor back then. Since his arrival at the Suns he never achieved near as much and was largely out of favour. However, he now seems to have a new SC friendly role roaming half back (22 D 18 K last week), but I’d wait and see if he’s named in the same side as Weller before jumping on. My two bob’s worth.

    2. Heard a whisper that he did not train today. The Suns have a few regulars back this week. Don’t be surprised if Atkins isn’t named tomorrow night

  23. I have to pare these five outs down to three:
    – Ridley (concussion, plus he was not playing well – has to go)
    – LDU (no injury, just not playing well and will lose cash – likely the same result)
    – Setterfield (could hold but don’t want to lose more cash)
    – Ashcroft (not making money but probably won’t lose much either, likely hold)
    – RoMo (if out with injury, I can cover with SRyan, or go to Gawn).

    I was planning on doing two up one down – likely Docherty, Oliver, and Atkins at this stage but will have to wait for teams and probably look at my bye structure.

    1. Romo is fine will play, Ashcroft hold. LDU tbink comes good his DE was horrible last game would of scored better had of been cleaner. Still think he can put up premo numbers. At worst a m8/m7.
      Setterfield/Ridley would be my two main options if you had to pick 2.

  28. Heard a podcast talking about Mitch Knevitt (Geelong ) as a rookie option.

    Might bring in him and Stuart this week. Stuart could go huge vs Richmond and don’t want to be priced out

    McKenna + chase Jones > Stuart + Knevitt

    Waiting on team news but will probably boost

    Want to 2 up one down next week to get Cameron and Zerrett. (Or parish) so thinking about going early on Dury.

    1. Depends what else it opens up for you. If you need the cash this week, go Drury. If you can afford to go Weddle, go Weddle. Also depends on team line-ups.

  36. TU: Ashcroft, Hollands, Dale -> Dawson, Drury, Gulden

    TD: Ashcroft, Chandler, Dale -> Dawson, Drury, Parish

    Basically comes down to getting rid of Hollands or Chandler and getting in Gulden or Parish. Love Gulden’s value right now but think Parish is the better long term option with the much higher ceiling.

  39. To any Bulldogs fans out there, what’s the story with Bailey Dale? Is he injured, role change, or just been rubbish? His scoring has been really bad, like I’ve got bench rookies scoring better than him, not even an underperforming premo anymore, he’s genuinely getting 50s-60s most weeks. Is there any chance he turns it around? Or have Richards/JJ taken over his usual role?

    TU: get rid of him, he’s no hope

    TD: might still turn it around, hold on

  40. TU – Trade out JVR for Drury this week (allows me an upgrade to Stewart with the 2nd trade) OR
    TD – Trade out Baker for Weddle this week to do the same upgrade

    I know Drury isn’t on the bubble until next week but I can’t afford Stewart if I trade in Weddle – unless I trade out Baker instead of JVR – not my preferred option.

    1. Like Witts Bye and match up this week with WC

      Gawn is cheaper and could get forward status. If you don’t have many round 14 Bye players I would probably go Gawn due to price and potential future ruck cover.

    1. Wasn’t sure on Berry- watched the game snd didn’t really impress me. Reckon JS a key with this argument- Drury likely to get more chances and was in early talk at beginning of year as being impressive.

    Can only afford drury as a rookie if I wanted to afford Stewart. But Atkins and Stewart are great for my bye weeks. Any other thoughts would please comment

  58. Port Adelaide’s bid to free Junior Rioli from suspension has failed with the AFL Tribunal slapping the dynamic forward with a two-match ban.
    But the Power were able to save Rioli from a three-match ban, arguing the 27-year-old’s strike on Essendon defender Jordan Ridley was severe instead of high impact.

  62. Initial thinking is pre team confirmation is Greene, McKenna > Weddle, Ziebell.

    However should I also go Davey > Atkins? Would leave me with 1 boost which ill save for the last bye.

    TU: Yes, will make quick cash and cover me over the bye period.
    TD: Save it for a cheaper rookie that comes later in the year

    1. Ooof. That’s tough, Stephen.

      Sharp (BRIS) and Berry (GCS) should line up for their 2nd games this weekend up don’t have the best JS or scoring.

      Maybe Fahey (GWS)? They’ve said he’s close but clearly being kept out of the side by Ash and Whitfield. Montgomerie (ESS) could also get a gig but think the Dons continue to reshuffle rather than give him a permanent spot.

      Honestly, I would re-think your trade plans instead of raw dogging a dead rookie.

  76. Like many others my team is far from finished..

    This week I focus my attention to my defence, my D1,D2,D3 is Stewart, Daicos, Sicily…

    I have enough $ in the bank to upgrade Michalanney to any another premo defender.

    My question, as I still have work to do is it worth wiping my balance to zero and get:
    TU: Dawson
    Or save some coin and get
    TD: Sinclair (and be left with AROUND $110k for future upgrades)

  96. With Parish missing at least one week, is it worth keeping Setterfield?

    He has proven with higher CBA’s he produces higher scores.

  98. Had planned on trading out McKenna & JVR for Drury and Stewart, but now thinking none of those trades are a must do for this week, so maybe I will have my first week of NO trades – which makes me break out in a sweat – I have a trade addiction!

    TU : Do the 2 trades – getting rookies off the field for premiums is a must do as quick as possible. Without trading, I will have 6 onfield rookies this week.
    TD: Good trades but wait a week as neither McKenna & JVR are predicted to lose money and Drury is still on the bubble, and Stewart’s price won’t alter much.

  102. Is using my second last boost to go Hollands > Atkins worth it (have 18 trades left after it)? If i do it, I have $102k in the bank which is enough for me to use two trades to get Darcy Cameron next week. I dont think hollands will generate much more cash either.

    Worst case is he gets dropped next week and ill loose $40k compared to keeping hollands another week.

      If I want to be cautious about Marshall…no cover
      T/D Ridley/Grundy/Marshall > Doch/Gawn/ROB $120k

      T/D means Drury next week, better cash, better bye structure. Can’t afford a donut as season on the line. It also means I can hold Marshall/ROB trade until Sunday as they play at the same time…might even then save a trade.
