Aarts to Bytel
Mcpherson to Williams
Gawn to Nic nat
Doing gawn to nic nat allows me to go dev smith to either walters or greenwood next week
Thoughts?
i didnt think there was 3 trades this week?
Might want to cool your jets on Bytel as I think Jones and Ross will play next match.
Gresham being out will help though
No Gresham or hanners probably for the rest of the season
Dev Smith to any piece of rubbish!
Hey td needed a massive 78 from smith to win main league. Yes I’m pissed off!
You know he’ll get a role change next week & score 120
Who to trade out for Wicks?
TU Simpson
TD Pickett (extra $ bank for other upgrade)
Thanks
Those who are thinking of moving on Gawny this round, who are you looking at?
Nic nat building more time on ground and dealt with the best ruckmen in the comp already
Big Mac
So few people sold on Nic Nat, if cash is not a problem, why not Goldy?
Purely because of the bye / value rise?
So little chat on here about MAX GAWN and his other injury that’s been announced. Trading him for the 2nd time this year! Personally I’m going English, he looks to be building a run of form again like earlier in the year.
Who to trade out of the following:
Dev Smith T/U
Rankine T/D
Gawn (if the scan is as bad as I expect it to be) to NicNat
Starcevich to Sholl
ETaylor to Merrett
When is M.Walters back?
This week
Wicks and Bytel to come in this week for most people I’m guessing ?
If you can only pick one, who would you go?
Tu; wicks
Td; bytel
T/U – Zerrett
T/D – Fyfe
Neither
Please explain???
Lyons, Lyons,lyons
Do I have to trade Gawn and Doedee? Are they serious injuries or?
What is happening with these alleged extra four trades? When do they come into effect?
They came into effect 4 rounds ago.
Pickett > Bytel
Bennell > Wicks
Georgiades > Walters
Tu or Td?
9 trades left, 100k ITB, 1 MID and 2 FWD spots left to go.
Dev Smith -> Brayshaw justified?
T.U: Yes, get that f*cker off your field.
T.D: No, press ahead to full premo asap.
Devs not going to loose cash
has very good job security also
He will score @ least 60 every week
If you have rookies on field with high break evens
I would focus on upgrading them 1st
Agree on the points, but if your rookies on field are rankine and aarts the decision is harder…
I’m tossing up the smith to brayshaw trade as well, not sure who to trade out for him. All 3 look to have decent job security, rankine and aarts making money while smith bleeds cash and points.
T/U: Trade D Smith
T/D: Trade Rankine
Similar job security , similar output. Rankine is $75k cheaper.
Walters or Brayshaw??
Who to bring in for egg this week:
TU: Lloyd
TD: Haynes and the extra 80k
Currently ranked in the top 100 so i am trying to play aggressively. I have 10 trades left and am full premo except for 2 fwd spots left. Cameron and Woodcock are sitting at f5 and f6. This week should I:
TU: Trade Close to Simpkin this week. (bring in 1 of brayshaw/dusty/greenwood over the next few weeks.
TD: Save the trade and bring in 2 of Dusty/Greenwood/Brayshaw over the next few weeks. (will have to field 2 rookies in the meantime and it will cost more trades to bring more expensive players in.
If i get Simpkin i could also potentially move him to the bench later in the year.
No need to bring in players who haven’t had their byes (Dusty, Greenwood, Simpkin)
Brayshaw is your best option
Dusty too expensive for his output now
Maxy Gawn:
T/U – Hold
T/D – Trade
Moved up to 1k overall, looking at:
Aarts —> Wicks
D. Smith —> Petracca (affordable by $600)
3rd trade if necessary:
Gawn —> Nic Nat
Which forward under 500k do you guys think is the best option to trade in right now (excluding Simpkin and Bailey Smith, as I already have them)?
Needing to get rid of Devon Smith with my third trade.
Greenwood
Jumped up to ranking 363:
Trading a couple of rookies early to allow me to get Walters over Greenwood.
Out: Simpson, McHenry, Close
In: Walters, Wicks, Bytel
Trusting that Draper will come in this week so I don’t cop a donut…
Just the 1 upgrade to go now. Looking at Darcy Cameron and Draper to develop over the next few weeks to let me get Gawn or Nic Nat soon with 7 trades to go.
Merrett just out of reach for M7.
TU Parker (Had his bye)
TD Adams (Bye still to come)
Gaff
did I hear tonight that Weagles and Freo bound back to Qld for remainder of the season? Freo in Cairns? … Weagles in SE corner?
If so, and if that was reason for Eagles poorer performing in the first rounds, then their players are a watch surely??
Adams will score more
Agree with that.
But if I bring in Parker, I’ll have 15 premiums who have already had their byes in my team. Hoping to get that to 16 before next bye round. Meaning I only field 2 rookies.
Thoughts on Gaff?
Eagles go back to Brisbane where they were appalling not sure about Gaff
If Gawns out…
Tu) Big O
Td) Nic Nat
Comment: Goldy
9/17 premos of mine have a bye still to come
TU: Rory Laird (bye still to come) – making it 10/18
TD: Nick Haynes (had bye already) – making it 9/18
Current team:
DEF – Laird, Stewart, Docherty, Hurn, Doedee, Starcevich (Rivers, Ling)
MID – Macrae, J. Kelly, Mitchell, Whitfield, Bontempelli, Cripps, Pickett, Simpson (Close, Schoenburg, T. Brown)
RUC – Grundy, Goldstein (Draper)
FWD – Petracca, Martin, B. Smith, Simpkin, D. Smith, Cameron (Aarts, Skinner)
9 trades, $5,9k remaining, Rank – 56,635
At this point, it’s most likely that this will end up being my worst season in 7 years of playing this. (2014: 42,914 – 2015: 30,109 – 2016: 31,881 – 2017: 12,370 – 2018: 14,126 – 2019: 3,280).
I’ve had some rotten luck with premos going s***, players getting injured, and honestly I haven’t watch a footy game since Rd. 3. I think it’s been that less entertaining, as well as coaches, commentators and AFL staff being that toxic that it’s inescapable, I’ve been thrown off footy altogether. With how my Supercoach has been, I don’t know if I’ll be playing after this year. I’m going to do my best to have some kind of redemption, but I don’t have much hope.
Enough of ranting (which you guys are probably sick already), and on with the trade talk.
I don’t want to get rid of Doedee, because he’s been pretty good in recent weeks. But hearing he got a hamstring injury again, I think he’ll be out more than likely for about 2-4 weeks, so I can’t risk keep him. Also, I have to get of Devon Smith. I’ve held onto him long enough, I can’t do it anymore.
These were the two options I’ve come up with:
TU: Doedee > Ridley
Simpson > Wicks
D. Smith > Ladhams/McInerney
TD: Doedee > Ridley
Pickett > Wicks
D. Smith > Greenwood
If there any other suggestion you have, please leave a comment.
With Dunkley back in B. Smith seems to be scoring relatively terribly. Is it worth upgrading him to Macrae while I still can afford to? Or should I focus on other areas first?
TU – Smith to Macrae while I still can
TD- B Mckay to Zach Williams (or other upgrades)
Maybe wait til you know when their bye is?
Simpson > Wicks
D Smith > Brayshaw
Holding 3rd trade if Gawn’s prognosis is grim.
Top 100 ranking with 10 trades left.
With Doedee injured need to trade out to avoid having either Rivers or Starcevich on field. Thinking of the following this week.
Buderick to Wickes/Bytel
Doedee to Daniel
Butler to Petracca
Buderick trade needed for the cash to get both Daniel and Petracca.
Would trade Doedee to someone who’s had their bye. Thinking Lloyd/Haynes/Ridley/Z Williams rather than Daniel
Personally I’m liking Williams as something left field, particularly if your wanting to take risks to jump higher
Already have Grundy, Draper and Cameron as cover for Ruck
Trades this week are – Gawn, Pickett & Simpson for Lloyd, Fyfe (completes midfield) and Wicks Via DPP.
T/U Keep
T/D Reconsider
Change Simpson for Georgiades and I’m thinking the exact same thing except I only have Draper as cover. Very difficult to figure out particularly it means missing out on wicks which is a risk. Pressed to make the decision with Swans tonight. Arghhhhhhh
Always the way. First game affects all your trades. If its any help, a few weeks back I had this dilemma with Simpson (Cats). I didn’t trade him in, hows that worked out for me…
Looking to trade out Starcevitch, Dev Smith and Aarts to bring in a premium rookie.
T/U – Lloyd (I hate that he’s pretty much max priced, leaves me $2.9k in the bank)
T/D – Haynes/Ridley/Williams and bank the extra for the next upgrade
This just leaves 2 rookies on field. Serong and loopholing Close with either Bytel/Wicks
My gut feel is to go Lloyd since this is the only upgrade I would be able to do before the next round of byes so it won’t hurt too much having to wait longer to get full premo.
Thoughts on these trades?
Pickett, Budarick, Egg OUT
Bytel, Wicks, Ridley IN.
Leaves me with 315k in the bank for next week
Thinking of moving
Aarts, Georgiades and Simpson to
Wicks, byrtel and titch
Annoying because the cash cows have money left to give but it’s also my best opportunity to get another premium in
Thoughts?
TU OR TD
TRADING OUT
PICKETT, STURT, D. SMITH
TRADING IN
NEALE, BYTEL, WICKS
A trade conundrum. Which one do I go (assuming Doedee & Simpkin uninjured)?
TU: Byrne-Jones > Doedee
TD: Devon “burn-man” Smith > Simpkin
Danke
Time to read the news. Doedee out for the season!
TU – Haynes
TD – Ridley
Hey SCT, need help with which GWS premium to get
TU: B McKay > Zach Williams (65 BE) + 148k for future upgrades
TD: S Simpson > J Kelly (166 BE) no money left
both options would still leave me with at least 3 rookies on field
is Cripps worth trading in? have a few value premo’s in viney, parker and yeo already along with macrea , neale and oliver, but cripps very tempting as has had his bye and at such a low price. just not sure he’s the uber premo of previous years and don’t want too many 105 averaging mids …..
T/U cripps can average 110 plus for rest of year
T/D go for a mitchell/fyfe type
Even injured he’ll score way over his 500k price tag
Should score minimum 100 each game with still the odd 140
If he comes good
Bingo
Getting rested is the only worry
I took the punt
Lloyd, Ridley, Maynard, Stewart, Docherty, McPherson, Hill, Mckay
Neale, McCrae, Kelly, Mitchell, Danger, Coniglio, Serong, Pickett, Simpson, Bennell, Stephens
Gawn, Grundy, Cameron
Martin, Whitfield, Greenwood, Rankine, Keays, Close, Sturt, Skinner
So Keays, Pickett and Bennell/Hill need to go, only 100k in bank so can probs only get 1 gun so is it up forward or down back??
TU up back ie: Haynes/Mills
TD up fwd ie: Petracca
Open to other suggestions of course
Hi All,
Hope everyone is doing well, Here’s my team, trade advice would be gratefully appreciated. If it helps last week my trades were Mahony, Budarick, McPherson > Sholl, Wicks and Tom Mitchell.
DEF: Sicily, Haynes, Daniel, Ridley, Stewart, Doc (Mckay, Sholl)
MID: Neale, Oliver, Mitchell, Bont, Cripps, Pickett, Simpson, Close (Rivers, Wicks, Robertson (Lions))
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Cameron)
FWD: Petracca, A.Brayshaw (Freo), Dusty, Whitfield, Bailey Smith, Rankine (Aarts, Skinner)
13 trades left, $5,800 in the bank
Cheers!!
Hey JJ! Hope I helped with trades for last week, great to see you’ve DPP swapped Brayshaw and Smith forward (Meaning Aarts or Rankine will be last premo upgrade and Greenwood is starting to look pretty juicy)
Obviously keep 1 trade open for Gawn to Nic Nat which will give you some nice cash flow.
Given you’ve only got 5800 atm, I think McKay to O Halloran via rivers dpp has to be your first trade as none of your cash cows are quite ripe. Giving you 156200 itb.
Next, trading in Pickett gives you 509400, allowing you to select someone like Boak who is very tantilisingly priced atm.
Alternatively, you could be confident that Gawn is out and get nic nat in straight away, opening up your mid options for Fyfe/Walters/Tim Kelly/Merrett/Coniglio/Parker or DPP swap Brayshaw mid and pick up Walters/Greenwood/Wingard/Simpkin
Other sub 500k options aside from Boak who still needs to have his bye are Shiel. McGrath and Yeo
Hi TF,
Greatly appreciated your help last week.
Fyfe looks very enticing as does a lot of those names, in a bit of a pickle though as you said i need to get O’halloran tonight and as you also said would need to trade big Maxy to get someone like a Fyfe. Is Maxy worth trading even if he does get up? (we won’t find out until tomorrow)
Also hoping to upgrade to Greenwood next week via on of my rookie fowards (Aarts or Rankine)
Cheers!!
Exactly, it is a little bit of dilemma. I’m in the same situation again except going Budarick to Wicks tonight and then saving the other two trades for Fyfe + Pickett upgrade. I think it’s a bit more tricky for you due to a smaller bank which is why I could only see McKay to O Halloran as the only way to generate instant cash.
haha yep, fyfe is probably going to my upgrade choice so you nailed that one (although I’m tempted to commit on the gawn trade and get neale). Based on what we know about Gawn’s injury I think it’s definitely worth it if you bring the right players in to cover the loss. Goldstein/Nic Nat are going to have the same or greater output than an injured Gawn that’s for sure.
Going a cheaper midfielder (especially with a Gawn trade) that still has great output will also enable you to almost do a direct swap for aarts to greenwood which is a tick in my book.
I guess if we ever needed to we could trade Gawn back in so i guess that’s fine going with Nic Nat, just wanted to clarify i was to go Gawn, Mckay, Pickett > Nic Nat, O’Halloran, Fyfe. That would leave me with $138,600 for next week to go to Greenwood.
That’s pretty much the idea, although If you went Fyfe that might not get you to Greenwood directly from Aarts/Rankine, but it will be close. That’s why I thought some of the cheaper mids could still be great options
Greenwood’s BE is 116 and could drop 5k if he doesn’t meet it so hopefully I can get him, If not someone like Merrett would leave me with $168,500 next week?
Yep, Merrett is a great option. Shiel is even cheaper for similar output. Would consider Walters too
Hey TF,
If i did these trades, would i still be able to trade Gawn back in later?
He could be back next week possibly
Cheers
My current team if you have any ideas for what trades I could/should make:
Def: Lloyd, Haynes, Ridley, Stewart, Doc, Brodie Smith (Rivers, BJ Williams)
Mid: Macrae, Bont, Oliver, Cripps, Duncan, Shuey, Pickett, Simpson (Wicks, Schoenberg, Close)
Ruc: Gawn, Grundy (Draper)
Fwd: Petracca, Whitfield, Brayshaw, Bailey Smith, Simpkin, Aarts (Woodcock, B O’Connor)
204500 itb
I’m a novice lol, but hmmm perhaps you could possibly upgrade Brodie Smith and Pickett to premo players, unless you hold Gawn cause you have Draper as cover (who should play instead of Bellchambers).
Sorry I can’t be as much help as you do for me.
Currently 2997
10 Trades
Need 5 more premo’s
1-def
1-mid
3-forwards
$206k ITB
TBH
don’t think I’m gunna get to full premo
Projected 2488 this week
Thinking of just sitting on my hands for a week or more (barring injuries)
Until I hear about byes.
T/U good idea
T/D get trading
Thoughts on Ladhams as a POD fwd?
$417k, -9 break even.
98.4 avg with scores of 80, 106, 44, 123 and 138.
Brayshaw or Walters??? And why?
Brayshaw, absolute gun
What to do with Ceglar. Yes I have held him this long.
Had low TOG on the weekend. Did anyone watch the game and provide any insight as to why this may have been?
I can go Ceglar to the Big O McInerney. Ceglar is bye free where as the Big O isn’t.
T/U: Hold Ceglar
T/D: Get rid of him and bring in the Big O
What do you guys think?
H.Andrews,M.Pickett,D.Smith > Z.William,J.Lyons , B.Woodcock
Think i’m gonna go
Lukosious, Docherty, Pickett>Fyfe, Whitefield and Ruscoe
Anygood/got any better ideas?
Lads i’m looking to bring in my final midfielder and funds aren’t an issue . I never could have possibly imagined this at the beginning of the year, but I am genuinely tempted to take Lyons or Steele over Fyfe/Titch despite them not having a bye yet. Is it realistic to base every single upgrade based on byes? I know majority of trades should be, but I feel like if you over do it, it could even be a detriment to your team. So what do we think?
TU- Go with your heart and bring in Lyons or Steele
TD- Go for safety and bring in Fyfe or Titch with the completed byes
I’m still not convinced by Fyfe. Titch has the ceiling but is still a shadow of his former self
I would stay away from Steele atm
Top player but getting too much attention with all of the pies outs
Sorry
Disregard that
Thought you meant Sidebottom
Can only bring in one mid rookie:
TU – Bytel
TD – Wicks
Do you agree?
H.Andrews,M.Pickett,D.Smith > Z.William,Z.Merrett,Woodcock
I’m going all out madness this week:
Hurn – Lloyd (sick of Hurn under performing)
Gawn – Ladhams (Ladhams looked super last week in the Richmond game seemed to have class. I love Gawn but I can’t have a half baked $720,000 player.)
Pickett – Fyfe (Fyfe is a jet)
140k bank.
T/U – Neale & Cerra
T/D – Fyfe & Williams
TU – Gawn and McPherson – Nic Nat and Williams
TD – Keep Gawn and try see what happens
Assuming Gawn is out… I’m looking at
Doedee > Williams
Gawn > Nic Nat
TU – Simpson > Greenwood
TD – Georgiadis > Boak
TU: O’halloran
TD: Bytel
O’halloran already had his bye so could make cash quicker and Bytel likely to be squeezed out of the midfield with Jones and Ross to come back in?
I’ve got 12 trades left to get 5 more premos, but not sure if I should count Devon Smith as one.
T/up – Trade Devon to Simpkin (leaves me with 10 trades and 5 promos left to get)
T/down – Hold Devon and upgrade someone else like Rankine first
TU : Z.Merret
OR
TD: J.Lyons
Merrett – proven and has had his bye
T/U Fyfe
T/D Whitfield
Need a downgrade target for Mahony.
TU: Woodcock (unsure on his JS)
TD: comment other options
Cheers all.
Ranked 600s and looking to be agressive. 13 trades and 238k.
Pickett/Georgiades to Lloyd/Wicks
Hold third trade to move Gawn to Nic Nat if concerned.
W. Day stays D6 and Houston into the middle at M7 leaving Simpson as M8 and Aarts F6 (both potential loopholes with Wicks E and Close E on the benches coupled with Robertson and Skinner both not playing giving best chance of highest scores between them).
Then have 2 mids still to decide on and F6 to finish (add D. Smith to be upgraded eventually).
Need 1 premo fwd to bring in, somewhere around 550k range:
TU – Brayshaw
TD – Whitfield
Comment – Anyone else?
In a bit of a Freo predicament.
TU: Brayshaw
TD: Fyfe
Comment: Walters
I am in this exact same predicament. Walters will be named and can likely score more than Brayshaw to finish the year. Fyfe has the highest ceiling but my midfield is loaded, plus in a tight schedule there’s a chance he misses games. You could say the same for Walters, and Brayshaw in his third season could tire at any moment.
Is Lloyd too expensive right now to bring in?
TU Yes, give him 2 weeks and pray he has a quiet game
TD Price wont be moving anytime soon. Get him in!
Like a Macrae or Neale his ships sailed long ago. Cross your fingers and hope he cops a corkie in the first quarter so he scores a 20 and then we can both nab in him in a couple of weeks for a discounted price.
(not that i want any player to be injured btw)
Can i recommend Z Williams to you? Post injury return he’s knocked out back-to-back tons and is priced at 460K.
Interesting RB. Even though its only 40k up on his initial price? That 40k is too much? Or moreso its mid 600s for a defender?
9th highest avg in the league…more than most mids…just feel he’s a must have?
Each to their own but i subscribe to the approach that at this stage of the season you’re more looking for fallen premiums than premiums. Paying $600K+ this time of the year is hard to generate the cash for. A fallen premium like Williams represents good value with some obvious risks.
Ended up going Lloyd over Williams…couldnt resist!
This round: Doedee > Williams and Dev Smith > Wicks
Dev’s moved to my mid bench (at M10 too so i’m treating him like a cashed up rookie. Time to go.
Next round: Likely to trade in Mayes and Serong (currently at M8 and M9) but will depend what they score this round. If they get sub 80 they’ll be maxed out for cash so i’ll spend that coin but if they score tons then i’ll keep them for a little longer and might upgrade Georgiades or MacPherson.
Did you get Williams in Roo Bloke? Great start for you if so!
Only have two mid premo positions to fill. Can only afford one this week:
TU Fyfe (with 50k leftover)
TD Taylor Adams (with 94k leftover)
Taylor Adams hasn’t had bye if you need to consider
Pickett, Starc > Scholl, Wicks
Keep the third trade for Gawn to
TU Nic Nat
TD Tom Mitchell
Otherwise will upgrade Dev Smith to Titch
I like the Dev Smith to Titch approach.
What do you guys think about this trade? planning to keep Devon Smith BE not that high so he won’t lose much value.
TU: H.Andrews,M.Pickett,J.Aarts > Z.William,Z.Merrett,S.Wicks
With this trade Merrett( Essendon ) has St Kilda and Richmond coming rounds, Tigers don’t tag as much this show when neale was playing allow to run free.
OR do you think this is a better move
TD:H.Andrews,M.Pickett,J.Aarts > Z.William,M.Bontempelli,S.Wicks
safer option
Zerrett for me, Bont has a bye.
Doesn’t Essendon have a bye to?
Ess bye is the canceled game between Ess/Dees.
out – pickett , simpson & doedee
in – mcinerty , haynes & macrae in to my team this week
Moving out a few underperformers this week in Budarick and Starce. Starce had ice on after the game, so if he isn’t dropped he might miss through injury. Plus now Rivers is back it give me a bit of cover. Yeah, I’ve lot a bit of cash holding them, but the DPP status was useful during this recent period.
Also moving on Pickett who’s a bit inconsistent and is probably at his peak.
So, a couple of rookies in, but who to bring in as a premo who’s already had their bye… $593K to play with.
TU: Taranto
TD: Zerrett
Comment: other suggestions
Fyfe, Zerrett and Coniglio all over Taranto
9/18 premos of mine have a bye still to come, if Max Gawn needs to be traded:
TU: Todd Goldstein (bye still to come) – making it 10/18
TD: Nic Nat (had bye already) – making it 9/18
Coaches – your opinion on the below:
T/U: Jack Steele
T/D: J Lyons
Thanks!
T/U Nick Haynes
T/D Zach Williams (about 90k cheaper)
What did you do J?
TU: If Gawn is out
TD: If not sure
Tu;
Picket > Wicks
Georgiades > Woodcock
Benell > Fyfe
Td;
Pickett > Wicks
Benell > Bytel
Georgiades > Walters/Brayshaw
TU Starc > Sholl
TD King > Ladhams (leaning this way as FWDs are weak)
Thanks
TU – T Mitchell
TD – N Fyfe
Is Ladhams a replacement for Gawn? Obvious safe picks are Nic Nat and Goldstein, but I do like to live dangerously
Need a M8 or a D6. Which is a better in
TU E YEO
TD Z WILLIAMS
Both available at nearly same price and both finished their bye.
Should I trade Docherty or Lukosious?
Not sure where to go here, Lukosious very consistent but very high ceiling for Docherty
TU – Trade Docherty
TD – Trade Lukosious
Georgiades – Wicks (via dpp)
McKay – ZWilliams
Aarts – Bytel (depending on Gawn situation)
Hi all,
First post, long time reader.
In a conundrum this week:
T/U Menegola
T/D Bont
Neither as they haven’t had their byes, but if you’re set on one I would pick Bont for sure. Fyfe/Mitchell/Merrett/Walters/Parker are all good options for a similar price point
Thanks for the feedback Fos!
T/U walters have $300 in the bank but no bye
T/D simpkin have $130,000 in bank but will have to deal with a bye at some point this season
Comment: any other suggestions
Gryan miers as an option has some serious merit behind it.
Matt Taberner is a lot better than miers matey
TU – Gawn, McPherson – Nic Nat, Z Williams
TD – Gawn, McPherson, Close – Draper, Z Williams, Walters
Would anyone know what Tom Dr Konings job security is like? Will Carlton persist with him? I thought he showed great potential on the weekend for a future ruck for the blues.
We should, but I’m not sure we do.
Club seems to see him as a forward/ruck rather than a pure ruck. Hard to fit all three of Levi, McKay and TDK in the forward line.
Every second week at least when Harry is injured.
Hey SCT,
TU – Williams 148 k
TD – Haynes 64 K
Haynes better option, but still got quite a few upgrades I need to make (3 rookies on field still) so extra cash could come in useful for future trades.
Do I put in Neale (I know….) in the next 2 weeks knowing he will have a bye during finals?
TU: Yes, you idiot
TD: No, Go for Fyfe this week
Comment: Another player like Steele or Adams who also haven’t had bye.
Cheers
Need a 500kish bloke to trade in for Bennell
TU Boak (Bye to Come)
TD Gaff (Already own Shuey)
TU Zorko
TD Greenwood
Cheers 🙂
Might be unpopular, but another one is Shiel, no bye and shouldn’t score any worse than Gaff
Ah forgot about Shiel could be another option
One more premo in both FWD and MID, need help on the below
TU: Gawn, Georgiades -> Nic Nat, Brayshaw (BE 90)
TD: Gawn, Simpson -> Nic Nat, Fyfe (BE 104)
Comment: Open to other suggestions
I’d go Brayshaw purely so you can DPP swap him into fwd when your last fwd rookie peaks, giving you plenty of mid options to play with in the final rounds
Who trade in for Doedee ($515k to spend)
T/U: Maynard
T/D: Daniel
Zwilliams?
Ridley
Or
Zac Williams??
Cheers
Think this week is pretty straightforward for me.
Noble -> Laird
Pickett -> Wicks
Pittonet -> NicNat
Leaves the team as:
Laird, Ridley, Short, Stewart, Doc, DBJ (McKay, Rivers)
Neale, Macrae, Titch, Whitfield, Bont, Cripps, Yeo, Wicks (Close, Schoenberg, Ruscoe)
Grundy, NicNat (Draper)
Petracca, Martin, Greenwood, JJK, Simpkin, Smith (Aarts, Skinner)
6 trades left, McKay + Aarts + $65k bank for the last midfield upgrade.
Will mean I can grab a mid worth up to around $525k (ie. Shuey, Kelly, Zorko, McCluggage, Boak, Crouch, Gaff) and have 4 trades in my pocket, or use an extra downgrade on Close or Rivers to fund a top end premo mid and run the gauntlet with 3 trades.
Laird is a solid pick but any consideration for a defender that’s already had their bye (ie Ryan, Haynes or Williams)? Just looks like you’re a bit short on players who won’t have a bye.
Its a good point you raise.
I’m a little concerned about over-spending in that spot and painting myself into a corner with my final midfielder.
Lloyd and Sicily have had their byes, but are priced irresponsibly high for me to bring in.
Maynard and Daniel are priced nicely, but both have byes to come and don’t have the ceiling I think Laird has if he’s playing in the middle. McDonald has me intrigued, but is in the same boat.
Ryan and Haynes are a little awkwardly priced, I could probably make them work but it would almost certainly require the extra downgrade for my final mid spot, and might limit me to sub $600k players even then.
Williams…I just don’t know if I trust him. He’s cheap, he can score. But he’s missed two blocks of games to soft tissue injuries this year and that worries me, especially for a bloke who runs like he does.
And ultimately, we’ve got no idea when the byes are. I’ll have 10 premos who have already had their bye, and can probably target one for my final midfield spot, so 11 all up. The other 11 are spread over 9 clubs (double ups on WB and Richmond).
With 10 teams left to have their bye, I imagine it will be a 4/4/2 split. So in most instances, I’d be missing 4 players from the 22, leaving me with the ideal 18 premos. In a worst case (where Richmond and WB share a bye with two other clubs I have a player from) then I have a round where I’m missing 6, and have to hope that a couple of my rookies get named.
A lot to consider, but I’m not sure if I can really give it too much weight without seeing the fixture.
Very fair decision. I’m in the same boat really. Tossing up between Laird and 530k for a mid or Williams and 590k. I think I’ll go Williams but both options have an appeal
Have given it some more thought, and Williams might be the play. Means next week I can target any mid up to around $600k and still have 4 trades in hand. Or I can use the extra downgrade to target an uber-premo like Oliver. Or I can take a cheaper mid and have money left to deal with Devon Smith.
Factor in the bye situation, and the possibility of Laird moving back with Doedee out and some Crows mids close to returning, and there’s a strong enough case to take the cheaper option.
TU/ Titch
TD/ zac williams
who to prioritise bringing in
Should I get Shiel in or are the better options
TU:Shiel
TD:Other
What’s the story with Luke McDonald’s last month?
New role, or just a purple patch?
Certainly looks a change in role to the distributor & high back flank rather than the lockdown defender.
I would say be careful as he may get the tagging role this week like when they played the tigers
T/U: L. Ryan ($558 500, 101, BE 106)
T/D: N Haynes ($551 700, 110, BE 121)
Anyone have any info on the TBA injury to Sturt?
My reluctance to trading him is he has had 2 good scores and Freo have had the bye. Do I keep him or trade to bytel/woodcock via dpp. Have Wicks already. Thanks in advance for any Sturt news.
⬆ Trade
⬇ Keep
Only 2 rounds left, then league finals. If you can do something meaningful by trading him, then I’d pull the trigger.
If the extra $70k or so isn’t going to be doing much though, save the trade.
have simpson and rankine to upgrade still, and also perhaps d.smith. g0nna keep rankine for a while, so tossing up trading either simpson or smith. both are averaging about the same, however simpson still has money to make whilst smith has stalled. smith being more expensive allows me to get a better upgrade. only thing really holding me back from trading smith is that he has a higher ceiling, so
T/U trade smith
T/D trade simpson
cheers!
2 options… 8 trades left 4 off full premo
TU: SHill/ Aarts > Bytel or Wicks/ ZWilliams
TD: McKay/ Shill/ Aarts> Woodcock/Bytel or Wicks/ Fyfe
Asking for a mate:
TU: Zac Williams
TD: Cerra
Cheers
Hey guys Pickett to Bytel is locked (if named) but who for Doedee
TU: Z Williams
TD: Ridley
Def Premos: Laird, Haynes, Docherty & Stewart
Sat on 13 trades and $186K
Trading out: Pickett, Doedee, Georgiades
for
TU: Wicks, Z Williams, Petracca
TD: Wicks, Daniel, Walters
Hopefully one of Gawn/Draper plays!
This leaves MacPherson/Rivers at D7&8, Close, Wicks and Schoenburg as M bench and Budarick/Skinner at F7&8 with Strong & Aarts as my last 2 upgrades.
Is Oliver worth bringing in at his 687k price tag?
I already have Neale/McRae/Cripps/Bont/Duncan.
Judging by the votes, who would be a better alternative?
T/U Tich
T/D Adams
Im in the same dilemma – Titch has already had his bye which makes me lean towards him
Well the nays have it but I brought Oliver in last week, he has had his bye, and got rewarded with a 137. Reckon you got to pay up for the top liners. Adams is a value pick with Treloar out.
T/U – Simpson & Doedee to Neale & Z.Williams
T/D – McInerny & Doedee to Neale & Cerra
Thoughts on trading out Goldy (still has his bye to come) for NitNat (who has had his bye) to pocket extra $$$$ for my final upgrade being M8.
This will allow me to get in a final mid for around 550k mark next week or else I’m looking at a 480k mid.
This will give me 16 premium players who have had their byes on field next round and set me up for the 3 bye rounds coming up.
TU – Yeah, not bad idea. Good thinking 99.
TD – Dreaming, go back to the drawing board.
IS GAWN GONNA PLAY?!
Or should I bring in Draper as a third Ruck?
Gna be limited with that shoulder
But also hurt his knee in the last Q last week
I doubt they’ll risk him
Not exactly a thing I’m considering but is anyone crazy/desperate enough for Jackson Thurlow with a 118 and only costing $329k?
TU: Walters, Wicks, Bytel
TD: Nic Nat, Wicks, 102k forward (Allows me to loophole Cameron or Woodcock)
Currently have Rivers, Schoenberg, Wicks, Draper, Cameron and Woodcock as cash generation with just 1 upgrade to go.
Which Dual Ruck/Fwd is better?
TU Ladhams
TD O.McInerney
Starcevich >Wicks
Egg> Maynard
Doedee > Laird
Bye’s not a worry?
TU: Brayshaw
TD: Merret
Comment: Someone else (e.g. Parker)
Outs are: Pickett, M.King, either Noble or Doc
Ins are: J Lyons, Wicks, and final in is either:
TU: Z Williams in, Noble out
TD: Laird in, Doc out
Battle of the Smiths.
Tu) Trade Bailey Smith (has a bye to come)
Td) Trade Dev Smith (no bye but Useless….)
TU: Bytel
TD: Ohalloran
bytel has over 14k people bringing him in .. am i missing something or is O hallorans JS worse that Bytel??
I reckon Bytel’s debut was more impressive than O’Halloran.
I hear that O’Halloran has better JS, although I personally think that rookie JS in GWS is tenuous
Viney & Pendles back this week?
I reckon Bytel’s debut was more impressive than O’Halloran.
I hear that O’Halloran has better JS, although I personally think that rookie JS in GWS is tenuous
Looking to trade in either Bytel or OHalloran. Looking for suggestions on who to trade out of georgiades, Aarts or close.
Cheers
Really not sure what to do this week, Pickett and Doedee are must goes
TU: OUT: Pickett, Georgiades, Doedee IN: Wicks, Petracca, Sholl
TD: OUT: Pickett, Doedee, Georgiads, IN: Wicks, Bytel, Laird/Z.Williams
@jezza…I’ve had a very similar conundrum.
I’ve gone Petracca. Expensive, yeah. But close to league finals, I figure what the hell. Let’s go all guns blazing.
An upgrade on the way, but unsure which line to complete first:
T/U: Defence – B McKay to J Lloyd
T/D: Mids – Simpson to J Lyons.
Comment, Simpson to Steele.
Thanks Coaches! and Good Luck!!
TU: Wicks
TD: Bytel
SHill/ McKay > Bytel/ ZWilliams
Conroy -> Draper (Hes just cover for Gawn)
Pickett -> Bytel
Georgiades -> Bolton/Ebert/Ladhams
TU: Good
TU: Bad
Comment: other
Luke Jackson OUT
Throws the cat amongst the pigeons
3rd string ruck “ brayden preuss “
comes in if gawny’s out
Did ok in the ruck @ nth until goldy came back & pushed him into the fwd line where he spudded it up
ruck / fwd @ 350k
might tempt a few
No love for Lyons from Brisbane? Killing it!
Still has his bye to come.
Anyone got the balls to get Tom Mcdonald. Only $290,000 no Luke Jackson why not?
Your actually a genius mate.
Nick Reid to debut for WC.
Thinking of upgrading Pickett to Neale, but concerned about an upcoming bye for Neale
TU: Do it, go for Neale
TD: Clayton Oliver (cheaper and has had his bye)
McPherson to Williams ?
Gawn -> Goldy
Pickett -> Bytel
Georgiades -> 644k player
TU: Yes
TD: No
Who to offload for my upgrades?
T/U – Noble
T/D – Simpson
Has anyone heard if Gawn is playing?
just confirming that this round is a rolling lockout still?
Bit risky, thinking:
K. Hayden > Wicks
Gawn > Cameron
Xerri > Greenwood
Removes non-playing Rookies, saves FWD donut and gives me heaps of cash to double-up to Parker & Stewart/Williams/Collins next round.
Leaves ruck as Grundy/Cameron/Draper, eventually up/down a better ruck.
TU: whatever, do it
TD: dumb, not enough scoring in rucks
Do I trade or hold Gawn, does anyone know if he is injured?
TU:Trade Gawn
TD:Hold Gawn
same Qs and leaving it until last minute. Will get in lloyd if he is out, if not williams.
He can be a match winner so have decided i will wait until teams named before i look at dumping him.
Hi Guys should I trade Lachie Neale for to
Jack Viney? It’s the Trade of the century
I believe
Hi guys. Just wondering what everyone would do. I went Lloyd VC into Neale C. Opponent went Kelly VC into Neale C. Lloyd ends up scoring 137. Do you
thumbs up take Lloyd’s score and do the Captain loophole.
Thumbs down and take a punt on Neale as C and leave it. Brisbane are playing North, so he could get his average.
FWD line is a mess with Bazlenka going for scans and no cover, plus have Gawn issues (Draper should play and cover)
T/U -Skinner to Woodcock for cover, B.Davis for Bytel. These are sideways trades but it gets rid of dead rookies
T/D – Skinner to Bytel (swing Close FWD), B.Smith to Brayshaw/Walters
What to do with Gawn?
I got Draper as cover
Do i hold this week and wait T/U?
Or trade to Goldy T/D?
Cheers boys!
