Only making one trade this round, and that’s Impey going out sadly. If I had more trades, I would’ve been happy to downgrade a rookie early to get someone better. But I only have 5 left, and I want to save trades as much as I can before I can bring in Dunkley for my final upgrade.
Only have $450k to replace him when I take Impey out, and I think these two are the only ones I can choose from to replace him.
Franklin has more upside but tex has that same sort of Ceiling and I would say based off his performance so fare this season he is probably the better pick, but Buddy is one of the best forwards all-time for a reason, but Jake stringer could be an option if you think he can keep up this sort of form, and he has been in the guts a lot lately
Cant go wrong with grundy. What price range do you have for the Impey trade?
Below 350k There isn’t really much, possibly CCJ or Bergman, or if you have cover Jeremy Sharp could be an option
350-400k Ed Curnow, Bewley and possibly Zurhaar given his current form
400 – 450k Tex, Perryman and Stringer given his form right now
450 – 500k Mundy, Dusty and Pendles
460k
Also thinking going Bolton straight to danger
& downgrading impey to a rookie which moves danaher from D7 to D6
That’ll leave me with
7 trades
Full team & 350 k to replace injuries & rested players
Prob still go Nic Nat to Grundy next week if I do that
That’s good. Do you have anyone else that you want to get off, like some rookies or are you all good. If so you can probably afford to make the Bolton trade as a luxury, and then go nic nat to grundy afterwards
Hall ziebell bolton dusty dale Daniher
Impey & waterman
9 trades & 61 k
Looking to keep
Heppell , killing it in his new HB role
highmore ( going well ) & brockman for & DP
Want to sideways Nic Nat to Grundy for capt scores
Need to trade impey
Maybe downgrade to a DP for a midfield upgrade
Wouldn’t mind trading doc out & moving laird to def & bringing Oliver back in when his price bottoms out
Bolton could be getting tired too is a worry
Done well for a kid on the improve
Just gotta prioritise over the next 4 weeks
Yeah with that sort of a team you can probably afford to trade Bolton to danger, and nic nat to grundy. I’m just concerned about keeping daniher on the field.
I would say that you get grundy in before danger, as he is still cheap
Maybe something like
Nic Nat -> Grundy
Impey -> Stringer or Pendlebury depending on how much cash you have,
and you can probably trade Bolton out later and then bring in clarry, but if you’re keeping Highmore, where will you get the cash?
Looking to get Cripps out. any thoughts
Bank – 6k
Cripps – 446 k
Rookies are
CCJ – 281k
Madden – 243k
Bianco – 194
The only on-field rookie is CCJ
Looking to bring in someone at around 550 plus
any suggestions for downgrades other than sharp and bramble
and any upgrades in the 500 to 600 category
Doing both of these trades in the next 2 weeks but which is more important? Leaning towards the latter given the upcoming fixture. 5 trades, $131.5K in the bank.
T/U – Daniher to Danger
T/D – Taranto to Bont, Weightman to DPP rookie ruck.
If you only have five trades then wait. Cerra is still good and is really a luxury trade with five left unless you are at full Premo and he is your worst one
Bianco is probably the one you want to get off first as CCJ has been playing really well, and has more upside. I mean, he got 67 in a game when his team got 2 goals, playing as a forward
what are your bench rookies
Yeah in a week or two him and Bianco are probably your best bet. you will probably have to end up with CCJ staying on field, which given his form might not be bad

T/D – TREACY, WEIGHTMAN OUT – DANGERFIELD, CHUGG IN
I really feel like it’s not hurting me having Lloyd, and not having Bont is killing me aha. Also, Sydney has got a lot of similar players to Lloyd now stealing points off him.
Don’t think trading the 3rd best back in Lloyd is the smartest idea, he had one bad game other then that his the most consistent bloke. Definitely second option
Just had a heinous last quarter. An out on the full, a F50m penalty and a couple clangers – all of which were scaled harshly in a close match. Had 24 touches, but only the 1 mark owing to the tight contest and wet weather.
Still a Top 6 DEF and this is his first score below 95 this season.
Find another way to get Bont. Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.
Yeah thanks for that guys, I really just want Bont and looking at my side now Lloyd is the easiest way to get there. Still a long time left in the season and I’m playing for league. So will complete the team with danger this week and go from there.
Got lots of options this round but so torn. Blue stain Cripps just wont go away, but oddly looks like an option to keep for one more week given alternatives I’m looking at.
T/u Cripps/Weightman to Steele/Bramble, Robertson fwd and $4.1k
T/d Robertson/Weightman to Danger/Bramble and $46.8
Comment …..ROB/Weightman to Grundy/Bramble and $110.4…can swing Robertson fwd for Danger trade later.
Need to move on Sloan and have 160k in the bank. 2 rookies on field CCJ & Highmore with 7 trades left for Dunkley and another premo mid once my rookies have fattened up.
TU: Lyons
TD: Zerret
Comment: Oliver
Zerret will leave me with a little bit of cash left over. The only premo mid that I don’t have and can’t afford is parish.
Not sure on Walsh, I feel like he’s dropped off a little since the start of the year, but he would leave me with an extra 80k and looked pretty great on the weekend so could be a solid option, don’t know if he’ll be in the top 8 mids at the end of the year
2 trades left with no cash in the bank can be a problem. If a Premo goes down you may have to go 1 up 1 down just to replace them with someone decent. If waiting a week will leave you a bit more cash I would wait.
With more time to think I now have two scenarios, need to know which one is less dopey…Cripps and Weightman go out for:
TU Neale and Bramble/Sharp ($40K – $70K in the bank)
TD Move Laird to mids, bring in Ridley ($145 – $175K in the bank)
Both moves leave me with CCJ at F6, but with the second scenario I might be able to upgrade him in a couple of weeks with one trade only, instead of the two trades I will need in the Neale scenario. The downside to that is that I get Ridley instead of Neale – worth it?
Neale might be playing hurt until the end of the season after that shoulder jolt in the first quarter. I was going to bring him in but now have second thoughts.
Hi everyone.
I have only 4 trades left and 3 upgrades left. I am torn between two options.
T/U I could get rid of Thilthorpe and Weightman this week and go to Callum Mills and a rookie and then in a couple of weeks go Coleman-Jones and Highmore to a premo and a rookie and have Matt Flynn left on my field with 0 trades left but otherwise full premo.
T/D I could trade out Thilthorpe, Flynn, CCJ and Highmore across two weeks and have about 1.5M in the bank to try and get three premos and a rookie. The problem with this option is that I would have to get cheaper premos and with the other option can get really good premos.
6 trades left and using 2 next week to get Grundy back in which will be me at full premo. Wanting to use 1 trade this week to bring in Danger. Who to trade…
Mark do you do definitely need to bring Danger in?
Sidebottom and Langford are both travelling pretty well?
Do you really need to trade either of them out?
Personally I would keep both and maybe forgo Danger and see what plays out in next couple weeks in terms of injuries and fixturing.
You are correct. I don’t need to trade in Danger, but feel better having him in for the run home. I have enough to bring Grundy in this week and forego Danger, so could do that instead.
TU: Bring in Grundy using 2 trades and getting a 102k loophole
TD: Bring in Danger and Grundy next week
Even though I still have CCJ & Weightman, Cripps has finally got to go, with Laird coming into the Mids.
TU: Whitfield
TD: Ridley ($50K cheaper) – will make it easier to go Weightman to Danger / Marshall next week
I have 3 upgrades to go with 10 trades left and 5k in bank,and still have Duncan at $475k…playing purely for leagues,and am currently 2nd..need one upgrade on all 3 lines except ruck..once I get a mid then that line is full..
Tu I really need to get Bont at all costs
Td get a mid like Neale and save $100k for future upgrades,but this will also mean I won’t have room for Bont for rest of year barring injury
Assuming waterman is dropped this week, I am looking to move L.Jones and Waterman to Bramble with Bianco dpp and 370k for my F5. Obviously no amazing options but it is what it is.
TU- De Goey (more midfield time?)
TD- Heeney (very cheap and can deliver 100+ scores, even though he has been very bad lately)
Comment other suggestions please
I do also like Mckay for his price and ceiling but I will look to get him later on as my F6
7 trades left. Weightman and ccj staying for another week to make money. Cripps needs to go do I…
TU Bring laird into mid, cripps to short
TD mccreery down to rookie, cripps to tom mitchell
I love getting halfway through a season and then remembering I have a second team… 29 trades left and Dow still in the team, just need to figure out who to get Fantasia out for 🙂
I have studied his CBAs the last 6 rounds and it’s fascinating reading and what is also interesting is how much the doggies change up there CBAs week to week!
In a nutshell, in rounds 9,10 and 15 – Smith had a high CBA attendance and scored 95, 97 and 126.
In rounds 12 and 14 (either side of the bye) he had no CBAs and scored 46 and 51.
In round 11 he had mid-range (7 ) CBAs and scored 84.
Last week he seemed to replace Macrae at CBAs and both had their best score for a number of weeks.
Not gonna ask standard question on whether I should bring him in but one for the purists and doggie fans.
Will Bailey Smith have a lot of CBAs for the remainder of the season.
TU: Yes
TD: No
Analysis is spot on, Dee. Been tracking his CBAs each week thanks to CT. His form’s been improving, so should keep getting a decent CBA load. No issue there.
Only problem is his position. Will be uncompetitive to have him at M8, with most having Brayshaw, Boak, Petracca, etc., who will comfortably cover him in points by season’s end.
If he was listed as a FWD, absolutely. But as a MID, I’d only bring him in if you desperately need to conserve trades and cash.
Hey Folks! I have 165k in the bag, how do I use it this week? 8 trades remaining, CCJ, Weightman and Jiath left to upgrade.
T/U Jiath to Whitfield/Lloyd
T/D Weightman and Waterman to Danger and Sharp
First options allows both Weightman and Waterman to rise a little more, whereas, second options culls them a little early but brings in Danger before his goes back up. Thoughts? Cheers
Instead of Weightman and Treacy (two playing rookies) the ideal way to do it would be to cash in on Jones (injured), swing Bianco to DEF as cover for the rest of the season and use that cash to go Weightman -> Danger. Gives you cover on every line and lets you hold on to Treacy.
You said you had 62k ITB. I ran the numbers and as long as you have 62.5k ITB, you can afford to do that. That extra five hundred dollars, not just 62k flat, gets you there.
So if you can go Jones -> Durham (via Bianco DPP) and Weightman -> Danger, do that. If you’re a couple hundred bucks short, then yeah you’ll have to use Weightman and Treacy instead.
Good luck, hopefully you’ve got 62.5k and not 62 flat!
Thanks mate, great observation. That was the first thing I did however i only have 62.1 k ITB which is shattering – so $400 short. I guess atleast by keeping Jones ive got loophole options in each line, so i can basically get a free look at CCJ and if he goes under 80 i can field Daniher who also is coming off a 112 last week and has fairly low b/e of 67. And by bringing in Chugg who is a D/F and i can switch him with briggs depending on who is playing. But yeah i’m a big cats fan and hoping danger is match fit and ready to explode. GL to everyone bringing him in.
Considering offloading Flynn at R3 to reeves to grab cash. Leaves me with dubious ruck cover but I figure reeves is more likely to play than any other low priced ruck. This allows me to complete my mids and turn McCreery into boak.
I do and that is really good advice. Appreciate it muchly. I also have Fullerton on my fwd bench (perhaps a shocking indictment)..I might just ping him in R3 and look for a new F8.
I like Naughton over Smith. He has a higher ceiling with his contested marking and goals. Smith is more a fantasy player as he is an outside player and wont get much contested ball.
I can’t see either averaging much over 85 for the rest of the year.
If you have CCJ as cover, you could consider waiting a week and getting Dale or Hawkins. Both are capable of going 95+
6 trades and $225k in the bank and 2 more premo upgrades required. Current plan is to go CCJ to Danger and then use 3 more trades to get a premo defender (e.g. Mills, Lloyd, etc) to complete my team, and have 2 trades left for injuries. Do I:
Lyons ruined me in the final last year but he looks the absolute goods again.
Do I bring him in and trust he’ll repay the 66 in last years GF after launching all year or bring in Walsh?
Thanks Freo Tragic appreciate the feed back, love the advice from the people like yourself on this page! I’m thinking Naughton atm, looking at his numbers he has more 90s than what Smith does in his scoring. They both have same amount of 100s and same 70 range. I wanted to wait a week on Dale but I can’t rely on CCJ to score well Thursday night to wait another week for him, but imagine if Dale hits his BE against North 🙁
I have Hawkins already brang him in 2 weeks ago worst timing ever
My thinking is that Impey wont play, but his price will remain the same. Heeney price will probably keep reducing so will be harder to upgrade later on.
I have Robertson/Weightman as cover if i keep Impey for a few weeks till i trade him
Hi all,
Last week I traded Impey & L.Jones > Bolton & Bramble
Before trades this week I have 8 trades left and $54,100 left. Any advice/feedback would be greatly appreciated.
DEF: Laird, Mills, Stewart, Lloyd, Whitfield, Short (Kosi, Bianco)
MID: Macrae, Oliver, Jelly, ZMerrett, Titch, Walsh, Langford, Newcombe (Brockman, Downie, Bramble)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Reeves)
FWD: Ziebell, Bolton, Greene, Dusty, Weightman, Madden (Treacy, Waterman)
Hickey to Grundy. $25k short and only real option is Treacy downgrade to make up the difference – he’s pretty much maxed out. Is it worth doing those trades this week, with Grundy up against Ryder/Marshall (Hickey vs Nic Nat). Or is it prudent to hold off a week, maybe (?) make a little more cash (Treacy plays Carlton) and see what 7 days bring. Leaning towards doing the trade. But is it worth doing two trades for this – will give extra $130k to go towards final forward upgrade (probably CCJ). Have Reeves at R3 so can’t switch r/f there yet
6 trades left and going to trade Docherty and CCJ out this week and get Danger and another defender. Who to trade Docherty to? Leaning towards Haynes only because of how much cash I save:
Just go Docherty to Haynes this week mate, wait for CCJ price to rise a bit more. He has a breakeven of 18. Danger has a brekaeven of 100. So CCj will 100% be going up more in price than danger this week. And it allows you to have another free look at dangers form.
Cheers for the replies, really appreciate it. Guess it would be a good idea to wait on Danger, especially considering there’s injuries happening nearly every week!
Pulled the trigger on Impey -> Danger this week, and leaves me with 3 trades for the rest of the year.
I’m one short of a full premo team, with CCJ/Weightman taking my F6 spot for now.
My dilemna:
TU – Downgrade Weightman to Bramble via dpp (leaves me with $317k in the bank but only 2 trades left for the rest of the year) – Does mean that I can then upgrade CCJ in coming weeks to an uber FWD premo (but only have 1 trade left after that)
TD – Hold trades this week and save those 3 trades for the inevitable injuries to premos (can upgrade CCJ or Weightman to a mid-priced FWD Premo in a few weeks and have 2 trades left for the year to sideways any injured premos)
These constant injuries are killing me….
Any suggestions very welcome for a mid-priced MID ?? Have up to $414K.
I was thinking of Prestia prior to him being ruled out again. pls help.
Can you pull some DPP magic and get anyone on another line?
Don’t mind De Goey for example if he keeps the CBA numbers up.
Otherwise I had a quick look, I’d personally wait for Tim Kelly or Gaff to plummet (both have very high BE’s) and will be available at that price point soon if you’re able to wait.
You can look at Matty Rowell @406k, he’s not shown anything special as of yet, but hopefully he can find form if you’re desperate.
NOOOOOOO! Just realised not enough cash for Bolton!
Will be able to afford Bolton next week (hopefully)

Bowes has been really disappointing and I’m honestly considering moving him on to try and fast track getting Danger and Grundy.
Highmore on the other hand looks like he’s really found his place in the Saints backline. This leads me to the following question….
Bowes or Highmore as my F6?

I’ve gotta say Neale if he maintains this sort of form, but Mitchell has been going really well and has been pretty consistent
Should i trade cerra for a premo or wait until next round to do a trade. i got 5 trades
TU: Planning to do this trade A.Cerra,C.Weightman>T.Boak,B.walker
TD: wait save the trades
If you only have five trades then wait. Cerra is still good and is really a luxury trade with five left unless you are at full Premo and he is your worst one
yeah that is a good idea i still got 2 rookies on the field that still can make money ill hold them until next round.
Yeah getting those rookies off is probably the priority with your remaining trades.
Who are the rookies
On the field is Bianco and CCJ trying to find a way to upgrade them both to full premo
Bianco is probably the one you want to get off first as CCJ has been playing really well, and has more upside. I mean, he got 67 in a game when his team got 2 goals, playing as a forward
what are your bench rookies
Defense: Briggs,,H.sharp
mid: Edwards, Bramble , Newcombe
ruck: Reeves
Forward: Weightman, Rosas(loophole for VC)
Is Weightman on the bench? If so he is probably one to trade in a week or two when Bianco makes some more money
yes weightman is on the bench. cole and Bianco on the field and thanks for your help.
Yeah in a week or two him and Bianco are probably your best bet. you will probably have to end up with CCJ staying on field, which given his form might not be bad
What to do with bowes (have highmore who i looped on field thus week and benched bowes)
Tu: trade
Td: hold (he will.bounce back, just like CJ currently is)

If you’re at full premo and have enough injury trades, then trade Bowes np.

TU Good Trades this week
TD Hold on trades this week
Thoughts on Highmore and Ccj to Bramble and Danger?
Completes team 2 trades left
TU Do it
TD Do it next week get a cash rise from them
Hey Nateo.
How much cash will you be holding ?
2 trades left with no cash in the bank can be a problem. If a Premo goes down you may have to go 1 up 1 down just to replace them with someone decent. If waiting a week will leave you a bit more cash I would wait.
9k left i think that’s probably the best thing to do actually! there’s been so many times we’re I’ve been like 2k short doing a trade
Yep Nateo. Cash is key at this stage.
I’m waiting a week to get Dale, for this very reason.
I think you would ideally want $25K+ in the bank to leave that wiggle room if / when a Premo goes down.
SC gods why =[
Who would you bring in I’m already bringing danger in.
T/U Dusty
T/D Bolton
With more time to think I now have two scenarios, need to know which one is less dopey…Cripps and Weightman go out for:
TU Neale and Bramble/Sharp ($40K – $70K in the bank)
TD Move Laird to mids, bring in Ridley ($145 – $175K in the bank)
Both moves leave me with CCJ at F6, but with the second scenario I might be able to upgrade him in a couple of weeks with one trade only, instead of the two trades I will need in the Neale scenario. The downside to that is that I get Ridley instead of Neale – worth it?
Neale might be playing hurt until the end of the season after that shoulder jolt in the first quarter. I was going to bring him in but now have second thoughts.
OUT Weightman & Impey
IN Lyons and Rookie (102k) TU
IN Danger and Rookie (102k) TD
Current FWD line
Hall, Zieball, Langford, Martin, Daniher, CCJ
Weightman, Treacy
T/U – Treacy + Weightman to Dangerfield + Chugg
T/D – Daniher + Weightman to Zorko + Chugg
Cheers team
First option, zorko too high priced
Then can luxury trade daniher to zorko later on
Hi everyone.
I have only 4 trades left and 3 upgrades left. I am torn between two options.
T/U I could get rid of Thilthorpe and Weightman this week and go to Callum Mills and a rookie and then in a couple of weeks go Coleman-Jones and Highmore to a premo and a rookie and have Matt Flynn left on my field with 0 trades left but otherwise full premo.
T/D I could trade out Thilthorpe, Flynn, CCJ and Highmore across two weeks and have about 1.5M in the bank to try and get three premos and a rookie. The problem with this option is that I would have to get cheaper premos and with the other option can get really good premos.
May want to keep a couple trades for injuries / resting, which will definitely happen.
Who has the better JS?
TU – Bramble
TD – B.Walker
Cheers.
TU: Danger
TD: Dale (+ $20k)
TU: Danger
TD: Hind (+$16k)
TU: Dangerfield
TD: Greene
Leaning towards Danger but just want to see thoughts.
thoughts on isaac smith.
(442k)
solid 80+ each week
good 3 rd av – 99.3
Stringer 30k less and a much better role OB.
stringer or texan
Sheil was 1-2 weeks away last week. Can’t see Stringer staying in the midfield.
Who to bring in to complete my defence?
TU: Mills ($161k left)
TD: Whitfield ($195k left)
Heeney? Or is he carrying an injury?
6 trades left and using 2 next week to get Grundy back in which will be me at full premo. Wanting to use 1 trade this week to bring in Danger. Who to trade…
TU: Sidebottom
TD: Langford
Other forwards are Zorko, JZ, Hall and Dusty
Mark do you do definitely need to bring Danger in?
Sidebottom and Langford are both travelling pretty well?
Do you really need to trade either of them out?
Personally I would keep both and maybe forgo Danger and see what plays out in next couple weeks in terms of injuries and fixturing.
Hi Jamhed,
You are correct. I don’t need to trade in Danger, but feel better having him in for the run home. I have enough to bring Grundy in this week and forego Danger, so could do that instead.
TU: Bring in Grundy using 2 trades and getting a 102k loophole
TD: Bring in Danger and Grundy next week
Flynn and Bergman to Grundy and Danger T/U Yes or T/D No
Need to complete midfield.
Have $595K available
Guthrie, Merret or Kelly?
Merrett, Kelly, Guthrie, in that order
Thanks. Or Neale is an option also
Any forward rookie downgrade options to consider?
Even though I still have CCJ & Weightman, Cripps has finally got to go, with Laird coming into the Mids.
TU: Whitfield
TD: Ridley ($50K cheaper) – will make it easier to go Weightman to Danger / Marshall next week
I have 3 upgrades to go with 10 trades left and 5k in bank,and still have Duncan at $475k…playing purely for leagues,and am currently 2nd..need one upgrade on all 3 lines except ruck..once I get a mid then that line is full..
Tu I really need to get Bont at all costs
Td get a mid like Neale and save $100k for future upgrades,but this will also mean I won’t have room for Bont for rest of year barring injury
Assuming waterman is dropped this week, I am looking to move L.Jones and Waterman to Bramble with Bianco dpp and 370k for my F5. Obviously no amazing options but it is what it is.
TU- De Goey (more midfield time?)
TD- Heeney (very cheap and can deliver 100+ scores, even though he has been very bad lately)
Comment other suggestions please
I do also like Mckay for his price and ceiling but I will look to get him later on as my F6
Neither
Any suggestions instead then? I have a full back and mid and this is all the money ill be able to conjure up. Any better options at 370k or below?
Can you afford Naughton at 377k?
If not, Charlie Cameron (BRIS, 371k) better than Heeney and De Goey imo.
Do whatever Gunboat says
In fact I’m going to change my name
There we go
Who is your VC and C pick this week??
Mason Cox into Liam Ryan for me this week
Pittonet the smoky pick
Lol. Stop it, Jude.
Blatant copyright infringement.
Do you have any you can dpp def-mid & mid-fwd? IMO best value under $370k is def Will Day
Who to upgrade Impey to:
TU: Whitfield (completes backline)
TD: Dangerfield
Thoughts on This trade with 6 trades left
T/U – Cripps out, Haynes in (VIA Laird DPP)
T/D – Save the trades
Which trade to do this week to complete the line;
TU: CCJ > Danger
TD: L.Jones > Ridley (Highmore D7)
Also.. is Shai Bolton a better final forward choice over Danger?
ATM no but on previous history, yes
Oops I meant atm yes but on previous history no.
yep
7 trades left. Weightman and ccj staying for another week to make money. Cripps needs to go do I…
TU Bring laird into mid, cripps to short
TD mccreery down to rookie, cripps to tom mitchell
Hey guys/girls,
T/U – Dale
T/U – Langford
Thank you.
TU: danger
Td: wait a week and get Dale
Comment: wait a week on both and reassess (means i loop either madden or watermans score)
TU: wait a week on both and reassess
I love getting halfway through a season and then remembering I have a second team… 29 trades left and Dow still in the team, just need to figure out who to get Fantasia out for 🙂
I reckon weightman has maxed out, and am keen to trade him for a ruckman and flip CCJ fwd, so…
TU- Reeves and hope he gets a game in the run home and make some cash… and act as fill in for one of Gawndy if they miss
TD – Edwards and save some cash and give the DPP flexibility
Cheers

Anyone else having a close look at Bailey Smith?
I have studied his CBAs the last 6 rounds and it’s fascinating reading and what is also interesting is how much the doggies change up there CBAs week to week!
In a nutshell, in rounds 9,10 and 15 – Smith had a high CBA attendance and scored 95, 97 and 126.
In rounds 12 and 14 (either side of the bye) he had no CBAs and scored 46 and 51.
In round 11 he had mid-range (7 ) CBAs and scored 84.
Last week he seemed to replace Macrae at CBAs and both had their best score for a number of weeks.
Not gonna ask standard question on whether I should bring him in but one for the purists and doggie fans.
Will Bailey Smith have a lot of CBAs for the remainder of the season.
TU: Yes
TD: No
Analysis is spot on, Dee. Been tracking his CBAs each week thanks to CT. His form’s been improving, so should keep getting a decent CBA load. No issue there.
Only problem is his position. Will be uncompetitive to have him at M8, with most having Brayshaw, Boak, Petracca, etc., who will comfortably cover him in points by season’s end.
If he was listed as a FWD, absolutely. But as a MID, I’d only bring him in if you desperately need to conserve trades and cash.
Hey Folks! I have 165k in the bag, how do I use it this week? 8 trades remaining, CCJ, Weightman and Jiath left to upgrade.
T/U Jiath to Whitfield/Lloyd
T/D Weightman and Waterman to Danger and Sharp
First options allows both Weightman and Waterman to rise a little more, whereas, second options culls them a little early but brings in Danger before his goes back up. Thoughts? Cheers
Hey, LG.
Nice score last week, you’re carving up Gun’s Regulars #2 lately.
I voted T.D, nets you more points.
Jiath (85) to Lloyd/Whitfield (110) = +25 points
Weightman & Waterman (50/70) to Sharp & Danger (70/110) = +60 points
Get to full premo. Deal with Jiath later.
Appreciate the kind words GD!
I agree with what you’ve said – get to full prem and then upgrade those who need it(Shutters at Cripples).
Hoping Newcome and Brambles can kick on in the next fortnight and earn some nice cash because having Bont is becoming very very necessary.
Edit: Otherwise I can always hold my trades a week and let both rookies go upf further and get another look at Danger.
TU/TD for that option. Cheers
My Team, with 4 trades and 62k in Bank
Ranked about 5k, probably care more about league though….
Stewart, Lloyd, Whitfield, Short, Ridley, Haynes
Jones, Briggs
Macrae, Steele, Oliver, Laird, Jelly, Mitchell, Walsh, Pendles
Bianco, Newcombe, Fyfe
Gawndy
Reeves
Hall, Zieball, Langford, Martin, Daniher, CCJ
Weightman, Treacy
Any suggestions other than Weightman and Treacy for Danger and rookie??
Cheers legends xx
Hey, Grant. Nice team.
Yep, get Danger in.
Instead of Weightman and Treacy (two playing rookies) the ideal way to do it would be to cash in on Jones (injured), swing Bianco to DEF as cover for the rest of the season and use that cash to go Weightman -> Danger. Gives you cover on every line and lets you hold on to Treacy.
You said you had 62k ITB. I ran the numbers and as long as you have 62.5k ITB, you can afford to do that. That extra five hundred dollars, not just 62k flat, gets you there.
So if you can go Jones -> Durham (via Bianco DPP) and Weightman -> Danger, do that. If you’re a couple hundred bucks short, then yeah you’ll have to use Weightman and Treacy instead.
Good luck, hopefully you’ve got 62.5k and not 62 flat!
Thanks mate, great observation. That was the first thing I did however i only have 62.1 k ITB which is shattering – so $400 short. I guess atleast by keeping Jones ive got loophole options in each line, so i can basically get a free look at CCJ and if he goes under 80 i can field Daniher who also is coming off a 112 last week and has fairly low b/e of 67. And by bringing in Chugg who is a D/F and i can switch him with briggs depending on who is playing. But yeah i’m a big cats fan and hoping danger is match fit and ready to explode. GL to everyone bringing him in.
Argh, damn.
Loop on every line and Chugg DPP still decent though.
Good luck.
T/U Luke Parker
T/D Travis Boak
TU:- Maynard
TD:- Rich
TU: Ridley
TD: D.Howard
Looking at upgrading either R.Thilthorpe or C.Weightman for a premo at F5:
T/U: Shai Bolton
T/D: Kyle Langford
Comments: other viable options under 540k
Considering offloading Flynn at R3 to reeves to grab cash. Leaves me with dubious ruck cover but I figure reeves is more likely to play than any other low priced ruck. This allows me to complete my mids and turn McCreery into boak.
TU: worth the risk
TD: hold off for now
Ghost Monkey.
Do you own CCJ ?
If you do, I would consider Jacob Edwards $102k R/F from North.
This would free up more cash , and open your DPP from Ruck Forward, allowing CCJ to cover both lines.
Just a thought.
Freo Tragic.
This is why I love this site.
I do and that is really good advice. Appreciate it muchly. I also have Fullerton on my fwd bench (perhaps a shocking indictment)..I might just ping him in R3 and look for a new F8.
Thanks again.
T/U Naughton
T/D Isaac Smith. (FWD/MID)
only have 473k
2 trades left after getting rid of Impey
Hey Brad.
I like Naughton over Smith. He has a higher ceiling with his contested marking and goals. Smith is more a fantasy player as he is an outside player and wont get much contested ball.
I can’t see either averaging much over 85 for the rest of the year.
If you have CCJ as cover, you could consider waiting a week and getting Dale or Hawkins. Both are capable of going 95+
Dale $476.700 BE 136
If he scores 100 he will be about $462K
Hawkins $486 400 BE 168
If he scores 100 he will be around $458K
Best of luck whatever you decide.
Doing Cripps > Boak
Is Jiath > Haynes a good move?
Only have Heeney & CCJ in the FWD line to upgrade, will upgrade one to Marshall next week when he drops in price (if he does well)
TU if I should hold the trade
what to do with Impey?
TU: straight to Danger this week.
TD: hold for one more week and go for Aaron Hall next week
6 trades and $225k in the bank and 2 more premo upgrades required. Current plan is to go CCJ to Danger and then use 3 more trades to get a premo defender (e.g. Mills, Lloyd, etc) to complete my team, and have 2 trades left for injuries. Do I:
T/up – Trade in Danger this week
T/down – Wait a week
Lyons ruined me in the final last year but he looks the absolute goods again.
Do I bring him in and trust he’ll repay the 66 in last years GF after launching all year or bring in Walsh?
TU Lyons
TD Walsh
Lyons not getting tagged, Walsh is always a candidate.
Thanks Freo Tragic appreciate the feed back, love the advice from the people like yourself on this page! I’m thinking Naughton atm, looking at his numbers he has more 90s than what Smith does in his scoring. They both have same amount of 100s and same 70 range. I wanted to wait a week on Dale but I can’t rely on CCJ to score well Thursday night to wait another week for him, but imagine if Dale hits his BE against North 🙁
I have Hawkins already brang him in 2 weeks ago worst timing ever
Who do i trade out for Danger?
TU: Impey
TD : Heeney
My thinking is that Impey wont play, but his price will remain the same. Heeney price will probably keep reducing so will be harder to upgrade later on.
I have Robertson/Weightman as cover if i keep Impey for a few weeks till i trade him
Hi all,
Last week I traded Impey & L.Jones > Bolton & Bramble
Before trades this week I have 8 trades left and $54,100 left. Any advice/feedback would be greatly appreciated.
DEF: Laird, Mills, Stewart, Lloyd, Whitfield, Short (Kosi, Bianco)
MID: Macrae, Oliver, Jelly, ZMerrett, Titch, Walsh, Langford, Newcombe (Brockman, Downie, Bramble)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Reeves)
FWD: Ziebell, Bolton, Greene, Dusty, Weightman, Madden (Treacy, Waterman)
Cheers!!
Bringing in Danger, for:
T/U CCJ
T/D Heeney
Cripps and Flynn to Bont and Danger. T/U. Or Flynn and Bergman to Grundy&Danger T/D
Hickey to Grundy. $25k short and only real option is Treacy downgrade to make up the difference – he’s pretty much maxed out. Is it worth doing those trades this week, with Grundy up against Ryder/Marshall (Hickey vs Nic Nat). Or is it prudent to hold off a week, maybe (?) make a little more cash (Treacy plays Carlton) and see what 7 days bring. Leaning towards doing the trade. But is it worth doing two trades for this – will give extra $130k to go towards final forward upgrade (probably CCJ). Have Reeves at R3 so can’t switch r/f there yet
T/u Danger
T/d Pendles
7/6….thanks ???
Neale out
Just to clarify Neale has a minor calf strain, 2 to 3 weeks. It is not his shoulder, there is no mention of that as yet.
Flynn & Neale out this week. Whats the move?
T/U – Grundy & Danger (M8) or any sub $530k Mid
T/D – Goldy & Lyons
Comment – Grundy & Maynard (Laird M8)
Grundy & Maynard
Trade Short and Weightman for Bont and rookie? Allows me to swing Laird back into defence……???
Tempting but you know one of your other premo defenders will go down as soon as you do this. I’d keep short for now.
Yeah mate so tempting aha. Might wait till finals starts and bring him in then. Cheers bro
6 trades left and going to trade Docherty and CCJ out this week and get Danger and another defender. Who to trade Docherty to? Leaning towards Haynes only because of how much cash I save:
T/up – Haynes (leaves me with $77k)
T/down – Cumming (leaves me with $11k)
OR
T/up – Salem (leaves me with $20k)
T/down – Short (leaves me with $5k)
CCJ has got plenty of money to make yet, could kick a bag tonight and outscore Danger.
Just go Docherty to Haynes this week mate, wait for CCJ price to rise a bit more. He has a breakeven of 18. Danger has a brekaeven of 100. So CCj will 100% be going up more in price than danger this week. And it allows you to have another free look at dangers form.
Cheers for the replies, really appreciate it. Guess it would be a good idea to wait on Danger, especially considering there’s injuries happening nearly every week!
Hold Madden even though he has surgery and could be slowly brought back in? or trade?
TU Hold
TD Trade
Pulled the trigger on Impey -> Danger this week, and leaves me with 3 trades for the rest of the year.
I’m one short of a full premo team, with CCJ/Weightman taking my F6 spot for now.
My dilemna:
TU – Downgrade Weightman to Bramble via dpp (leaves me with $317k in the bank but only 2 trades left for the rest of the year) – Does mean that I can then upgrade CCJ in coming weeks to an uber FWD premo (but only have 1 trade left after that)
TD – Hold trades this week and save those 3 trades for the inevitable injuries to premos (can upgrade CCJ or Weightman to a mid-priced FWD Premo in a few weeks and have 2 trades left for the year to sideways any injured premos)
These constant injuries are killing me….
Any suggestions very welcome for a mid-priced MID ?? Have up to $414K.
I was thinking of Prestia prior to him being ruled out again. pls help.
Can you pull some DPP magic and get anyone on another line?
Don’t mind De Goey for example if he keeps the CBA numbers up.
Otherwise I had a quick look, I’d personally wait for Tim Kelly or Gaff to plummet (both have very high BE’s) and will be available at that price point soon if you’re able to wait.
You can look at Matty Rowell @406k, he’s not shown anything special as of yet, but hopefully he can find form if you’re desperate.
4 Trades left
TU Single Trade: Doch>Salem

Hi JJ,
I would trade out Koschitzke and Weightman and get Dangerfield while he’s at 495K and get a rookie so you save cash for next week.

Hey everyone,
Got 5 trades left and 160k in the bank. I’m 2 fwds away from premo.
Going Poulter/Weightman to Dangerfield/Bramble. I’ve got Madden, Briggs who aren’t making any money this week and CCJ who scored 5.
Can I just get some feedback on whether this is the move to make this week or if there is something I’m not seeing here. Should I be trading Madden and hoping that Poulter and Weightman make their BEs?
Thanks!
Julian
*Poulter OR Weightman make their BEs
