Here we go. Shocker of a year with injuries and it continues..
1 trade left, pendles out. Who comes in?
Have pendles + 45k to spend.
Suggestions?
Bailey Smith
Tim Kelly
Ben Keays
Fiorini
Gotta be Guthrie.
4 trades left.
I can get Dunkley to complete my FWDs but it would mean playing Bramble/J Sharp at M8
Alternatively I can bring in Ro Marshall & a McCluggage/Taranto type at M8
TU Dunkley & rookie loop
TD 2 Ro Mo & McCluggae/Taranto
I’m looking to get Taranto out, don’t do it to yourself.
I’m thinking the same as Pendles (my m8) injury has thrown my plans out. The golden rule for SC finals is dont rely on rookies but there are some real yo yos in the lite premium category this year and Taranto is one of them. (Full post below)
Who’s the best Fyfe replacement?
What do you have ITB, Dan?
I’ve got $211k. Was hoping to leave at least $100k for my last trade
If you really want to save coin, you could go JPK or T. Kelly? Both terrific over the weekend.
Thanks
What about Guthrie
Hey guys/girls,
3 trades left, 230k, final mid.
T/U – Bramble to Lyons.
T/D – Bramble/Newk to Bont/Durham.
Thank you.
Too soon to trade out Shite Bolton after bringing him in this week?
Already rage traded him 20 times……um, make that 30 …. and I don’t have any left……
2 trades left.
Only upgrade that needs doing is my m8. Currently looping between Sharp and Bramble. Surely though, I keep my 2 trades for emergency and just ride with these serviceable m8 scores.
T/U Hold trades
T/D Use the 2 and upgrade to a premo. Cheers
Yeah, LG, they’ll do 80+ between them each week. Hold the trades.
Also, huge score this round. Saw your topscore in Gun’s Regulars #2, great work!
Cheers GD!
That would be great, certainly up until this point they’ve proved themselves. Also, the teams coming along great. Spewing a bit about bringing in Bolton for Dusty but I think against Geelong, the Richmond mids had no chance. Should bounce back in the remaining games.
Hello,
What time does trades usually open?
511k for a pendles replacement;
Cam Guthrie???
Got 2 trades left and 2 rookies left on field in Bramble and Sharp.
I have plenty of cash in the bank so thinking of going Highmore to Steele (via DPP) and looping Bramble and Sharp each week to get the best score at M8.
Leaving me with 1 trade and 11,800 in the bank for emergency trade during finals.
Good idea?
Final upgrade:
TU: Tarryn Thomas
TD: Rowan Marshall
Have unlimited cash to bring in my last upgrade at m8
Currently have macrae Oliver Walsh Taranto petracca steele Merrett.
Who do I bring at to finish my team. Thinking bont or touk but not sure
Trade Jelly out? 1 trade left
Definately avoid going sideways with your last trade, even if you feel its a slight improvement on points.
I had 5 trades last week and sideways traded Jelly to Guthrie (after much torment – knowing it was breaking a well understood rule about unnecessary sideways trading). My justification was that Jelly was carrying an injury and was playing the last game of the round – I saw him as a significant risk of late out or earlier game injury. Jelly also had a high BE and stood to lose big $. Guthrie however, my trade-in, had a very low price & BE & appeared to be fully recovered from that shoulder injury. Added to this, my cash ITB was insufficient to allow a later single-trade upgrade for my last full-premo upgrade meaning that it would necessitate two trades to achieve it, whereas the Jelly to Guthrie trade gave me an extra $80k ITB. So overall it still involved two trades but I end up with Guthrie rather than Jelly – which I feel more confident about going through the league finals.
Final upgrade, Bramble out leaves $600,000 to spend on M8, ranked ~1,200, who to buy?
TU: Zorko (DPP swings with Danger/Bolton, but hasn’t been scoring well lately)
TD: Wines (no DPP but better form line)
Comment: Lyons, Guthrie, etc.
If you’re lacking the DPP swing then definately Zorko, though I’m sure you’d have a DPP bench swingmen. Even so, Zorko is a sound option.
If you want cash remaining for any forced replacement trade Guthrie seems great value and more than capable of matching Lyons, Wines & Zorko.
Best option of the # listed below?
RoMo this week, Fiorini this week or Menegola or Gaff etc T/U
T/D field bramble for one more week then Boak, Adams, May or a similar candidate at around 495k next week T/D
All suggestions welcome. 4 weeks of form is all I need. Will be happy with a 100 average.
Last trade…
Dusty Out
Dunkley In
Still have Fyfe Duncan and Dusty..I have cover in Bianco in mids and Madden fwd..
Is it a bigger priority to go..
Tu Fyfe Duncan to Bont and Guthrie
Td trade one mid and also Dusty to Marshall or Hawkins.
tu – Miller
td – Bont
Dusty out:
T/U: Zorko
T/D: Dunkley
Comment: Marshall
Need help selecting my last mid pls folks.
TU: Bont
TD: Danger
Comment: Parish
Parish
2 trades left!
Hard to know if Heeney will get injured again, but based on the weekend’s action, he’s looking good!
Need to fill my final FWD spot. Depending on who I trade out (Weightman or CCJ), I’ll have between $430k to $448k to use (not enough for a higher value premo).
Bring in Heeney this week?
TU: Yes!!
TD: No/Wait
My worst ranking since playing SuperCoach
@ 11302
Avoided Shai Bolton only because l Loop holed Sharp’s e score . With only 3 trades remaining these are this weeks trades.
Martin & Thilthorpe for Guthrie and Rioli
T/u yes
T/d no
2 trades left and still need to upgrade Weightman, can’t afford Dunkley, so it’s between De Goey, Zorko or Hall.
TU De Goey
TD Zorko
Comment Hall.
Comment Hall TU or TD
2 trades left with two rookies
Weightman and Bramble left on the field.
TU:Hold the trades for injury as these rookies are still holding their spots.
or
TD: trade Bramble and Weightman > T.Boak , M. Parker
TU: Guthrie
TD: Jelly
2 trades left, weak points Cripps, Cerra and Daniher. (plus Greene and Mills quarantine)
Must win knockout final this week.
TU: Cripps to anyone and roll with Daniher and Cerra. Save emergency trade if I get thru.
TD: Just say f*ck it and use 2 with Cripps to TKelly and Treacy to any fwd under 508k. Loop Daniher score.
Going for league win, finished top 4 – have a 150+ advantage on projected scores on my opponent
Three trades left, team almost complete, will be trading Sharp -> Dunkley, tossing up whether to pull the trigger early this week, or wait another so that I can pocket $50k+, leaving more for upgrades in case of injury/final round upgrades
TU: Trade now
TU: Trade next week
T/U C. Dixon
T/D R. Marshall
(My Dusty Replacement)
No injury risk with Dixon, Port have a better fixture than the saints. Thoughts?
* these are the only 2 players im considering to get back into top 1k thanks to Mills and Greene last fortnight *
Hi gunboat. What would you do.
T/u use last 2 trades and do last upgrade from Bianco to Stewart.
T/d hold trades for injury.
Finished top 4 in every league so not do or die this week. I do however have rookie cover on every line.
Ooof. That is tough.
Usually I’d say don’t leave yourself without trades for 4 rounds but if you can Bianco -> Stewart AND still have DEF cover as well as cover on every line, then go for it.
Otherwise, hold off and maybe pull the trigger with 2 rounds to go.
Good luck.
Thanks mate don’t normally ask but finding this tough. More thought required me thinks
Thanks gunboat, after much thought have decided to hold on till I need a win. Thanks for your advice mate. As I play for rank till this time of year I wanted to go for it.
Tu Guthrie

Matthew Parker?
took dusty role, 140k, 81 this week
Who agrees that Matthew Parker JS looks alright with all the Richmond injuries?
The golden rule for SC finals is dont rely on rookies but there are some real yo yos in the lite premium category this year and Taranto is one of them.
Team
Laird Daniel Stewart Lloyd Lever Saad (Highmore Connoly)
MaCrae Danger Oliver Merret J Kelly Pendles Taranto Bramble (Bianco F MaCrae Newchurch)
Gawn Grundy (Reeves)
Ziebell DeGoey Heeney Marschall Bolton Sidey (Waterman Henry)
6 trades left and 243 k ITB, was timing full premium until SC league finals in case of injuries but of course Pendles, Martin etc. Bramble has a low BE and more money to make and great backup as M9. Guthrie was my trade target last week but of course Pendles injury changed that as I then needed 4 premos to be full premo.
Thumbs Up
Taranto and Pendles out for Bont and Guthrie (My league opponent in 2 v 3 match C Bont last week Guthrie low BE. This would mean hopefully looping MaCrae and Bramble with Newchurch on the field depending on the fixture then get another mid premo later)
Thumbs Down
Pendles and Bramble out for T Kelly and Bont
Comment: Have I missed another obvious option
Any help greatly appreciated!
last rookie upgrade, need a forward- if i trade out bramble, i can get hall. if i trade bianco i can only afford marshall. hesitant to trade out bramble as has more $ to make, is better cover and will still have 4 trades left so could upgrade taranto later with his cash. playing league at this point…..
T/U bergman> hall, bramble> durham (mid cover durham, bianco, newcombe) 25k itb
T/D bergman> martshall, bianco>durham (mid cover bramble, durham , newcombe) 7k itb
I wouldn’t want to rely on Durham to be playing when Langford and Caldwell return in the next few weeks
My thoughts are if you have sharp you do not need bramble as cover. I always go the higher scoring option and avoid injury prone players. Even if it takes a few extra weeks to get to full premo.
Last FWD? Currently have 5 trades, FWD and MID upgrade needed. Dusty on the bench, 90k itb
TU Zorko
TD Dunkley (extra 100k and 1 trade)
Comment:
TU: Thomas (save 100k)
TD: Marshall (also save 100k)
Comment:
TU: Thomas
TD: Marshall
Thomas out this week due to concussion.
TU: Use last two trades to bring in R Marshall and complete my team
TD: Use one trade to upgrade to a $350k FWD option and save one trade for injury
Definetely hold on to an injury trade and grab Rioli at 293k. Playing off HB, looks good.
McKay, Darling and Naughton other options if you’re not sold on Rioli.
Thanks GD. Thinking I can hold until next week and let Mansell fatten, then next week grab a $400k FWD and still hold one trade. Got the double chance this week which helps
TU Short
TD Ridley
TU Short/Ridley
TD Similar priced MID (Guthrie/Mccluggage)
2 trades left and $109k in the bank. Cripps at M8 (killing me) and Bramble on bench outscoring him for last 4 weeks. Madden / Weightman F6 bleeding points. Thinking of trading Cripple to Guthrie and Highmore (via Madden DPP) trade to ?? with $357k to spend on F6. Any suggestions or alternate strategy welcomed.
TU: Go with Cripple/Guthrie/Highmore/??trade
TD: Better way to trade
Do the Cripps>Guthrie trade.
Keep 1 trade for injury.
tu – Hall
td – Marshall
One trade left $170k in the bank, injury trades only for me for the finals. Sharp from Gold Coast has to be nearly in the premo list. Got Sharp and Bramble loophole at the moment. SC needs more DPP to make all our lives just a little bit easier especially around the $400k mark
TU -Wines & Ridley
TD – Guthrie & Mills
Maybe macrae or bont ( if you don’t have) and leave a little extra for your last upgrade/ replacement, dogs have pretty easy run from here but the saints might just be cooked and Steele has been carrying them for all season
Last FWD spot?
Already have: Dangerfield, Zorko, Hall, Dale and Ziebell.
Marshall?
Someone else?
$598,800 to spend.
De Goey.
Not enough time to angle for Dunkley to get to sub 600k.
I have the ability over the next two rounds with 5 trades left to use 3 trades..Saving two for injuries. (Playing league) double chance
TU: Trade out Taranto, a forward rookie and Cummings (3 trades) for Guthrie, Hall and Stewart
or
TD : Trade Taranto..he’s gone! a forward rookie and a pretend premo forward and get Macrae and Hall . Leaves me with two pretend forward premos (Daniher, Bottom, Bolton) and cummings at D6.
Any suggestions welcome.
For what it’s worth. 5 round averages difference between Cummings and Stewart is only 12 points. Difference between Guthrie and McRae is 30 plus. I do understand that Guthrie was injured and improving however I always go the highest scoring players especially with some trades left. McRae just keeps racking up the points and is must have for finals.

Hi. Pendels replacement
Tu Wines
Td Dunkley
Cheers
Looking to bring in Bont and M. Parker for Madden and either Taranto or Cripps, (with whoever is retained to be loopholed with Bramble).
Who is the better option to KEEP?
TU: Taranto against Port
TD: Cripps against St Kilda
One trade left and need to trade Pendles. Only have $495k to spend so who’s the best option? Was thinking McCluggage or Tim Kelly maybe. Can’t decide please help!!
Other options are jpk and a real Smokey over short term fiorini. Not muck between them all in my eyes
Two trades left
TU: Dusty and Highmore out for Dangerfield and Parker (loop Parker and Robertson for the rest of the year)
TD: Dusty and Highmore out for Sidebottom and Butters/Bolton (means no rookies onfield)
Is Dunkley the best FWD option if you can get him?
Hasnt proven anything since his return from injury
Hey, i have 3 trades left and need to trade Martin out and only have 3k In the bank. Finished 1st in my league. SO should I?
Use one trade and get Sidebottom
OR
Go all out and use 2 trades for Dunckley (Dogs have an easy run home)
Thanks Guys
Playing for League Glory and 6 Bottles of Bourbon
3 Trades Left
157K
Still have Dusty, wondering about trading Dusty to Bolton and upgrading Taranto to Bont!
Or do i hold that 2nd trade in case of injury?
Got a few options this week and not sure on what to do.
I’ve got 3 trades left and 160k in the bank.
TU: Trade Bramble and Madden to Bont and Parker. Leaves me with 1 trade and 22k.
TD: Madden to Sidebottom and just loop between them every week. Leaves me with 2 trades and about 40k.
4 trades left..90k inb.. finished top in league
Opo this week has Guthrie..doesn’t have Stewart
Two upgrades left: one defender, one mid
Thinking either:
Tu: Bramble(Have Sharp M8)>Durham or West -Madden>Stewart .. Upgrade Sharp to Guthrie or similar next game or
Td: Madden>Durham(Field Bianco or Durham)-Bramble>Guthrie
If you wait a week and trade bramble then wait one more you may have enough cash to do 2 upgrades for one downgrade or close to withincrease in their values. Probably depend if you win this week and no elimation game next week.
4 trades, $13,400K in the bank, in an elimination final in my main league.
F5 & 6 currently Dusty & Weightman with CCJ & Waterman on the bench
TU: Dusty & CCJ -> Dunkley & Durham (lose loop with R3 but can loop Weightman & Brockman)
TD: Dusty & CCJ -> Marshall & Parker (keeps R3 loop, also loop Weightman with Parker and leaves more cash if I win for my last 2 trades)
Comment: Anybody other options?
TU: Hawkins
TD: De Goey
Struggling to choose one out of these two. McCluggage was in some great form at the start of the year and he’s been good the last 3 weeks. Kelly has been up and down all year but he does attend more centre bounces and seems to be the Eagles best mid at the moment. Who to go with?
T/up – McCluggage
T/down – Tim Kelly
Tu Wines
Td Guthrie
Tu- Dunkley
Td- Marshall
Struggling to choose between these two options
Have only two trades left and in QF final, lost to my opp in R17
TU use 1 trade – trading Taranto to Hawkins/ dale/ Thomas via dpp. This would complete my fwd line, also can use Bramble as M8 but gives me little or no mid bench cover, and still might need to upgrade Bramble to mid priced mid. 1 trade left for injuries.
TD use two trades -trading Treacy and CCJ to Heeney/ T Greene and 102k ruck, gives me no ruck cover and lose Bramble, but completes team, no trades left for injuries
Miss out on Thomas, Hawkins, dale
If I was using my last trade I would want to be bringing in a BIG gun, and I would I would want to ensure I have ruck cover.
Is trading out CCJ & Taranto for a Dunkley/Danger type & M Parker affordable? Both have DPP. Leaving Treacy at R3 and using Parker – Bramble to loophole?
Thanks baz, food for thought, doing what you suggest gives me $625k for mid premo
Can do Touk Miller and 102k ruck for CCJ and Taranto
Still have ruck and mid loophole cover with treacy and bramble
I am in elimination final in cash league.
2 trades left & $214k
Bench cover is one playing rookie on each line.
Currently have Cripps at M7 & Bramble/Sharp at M8
I can turn Cripps into Bont/Parish/Zerrett/Dunkley etc and loophole Bramble/Sharp
Or
I can turn Bramble into Lyons/Guthrie/McCluggage/Libba and loophole Cripps/Sharp
TU Do the trade it is a must win. Hope 1 trade is enough remaining weeks
TD Save the trade and continue to loophole Bramble/Sharp
Thanks Coaches
If I make the trade
TU: Turn Cripps into Bont/Parish/Zerrett/Dunkley etc and loophole Bramble/Sharp
TD: Turn Bramble into Lyons/Guthrie/McCluggage/Libba and loophole Cripps/Sharp
Thanks Coaches
Hey guys/girls,
Better combo.
T/U – Bont & Durham.
T/D – Lyons & Parker.
Thank you.
3 trades left. Top place. Double chance.
Playing Madden D6 and have Jiath on the bench to trade still.
My dilemma is do I use two trades to get Mills/Daniel/Ridley
Or one trade and get Cumming, leaving 2 trades for injury insurance.
T/U Mills
T/D Cumming
Hold until 6.30 pm Sat night just before Ess v Syd.
If you are looking good for a win without trading then you may choose to hold trades until two weeks time since you get a week off. You then have 3 trades to navigate two finals and decision to go big will be easy.
On the other hand if you are in a close one at 6.30 Sat night, then you may want to bring in the big guns Mills or Ridley anyway. All going well you will have following week off and save remaining trade.
That is also what I am trying to achieve baz
Good advice, thanks Baz.
TU: Touk/Bont & Bramble
TD: Lyons & Taranto
Too early to roll with Butters?
TU: Bolton
TD: Butters
Taranto is giving me a headache at M8.
Have 2 trades left.
TU – Trade Taranto, move Danger to Mids. Get Marshall at F6. 1 trade left.
TD – Save my 2 trades.
Any chance Dusty might ‘don’t argue’ the doctor and end up playing rest of season averaging 120+? Forward line looking mighty slim. Fingers crossed Langford passes fitness test and plays this weekend. Good luck to all in league finals.
TU: Dusty+Bianco > Dunkley + C West
Leaves 45k for next week Sharp+Bramble > last premo (MID) such as Bont/Touk
Leaves 1 trade
TD: Dusty+Bianco>Marshall + C West
Same plan next week but have $200k, guarantees upgrade. Or just dont trade Bianco, giving me an extra emergency trade. Honestly might use it for Bolton :/
Last trade..
I need a Midfielder .
I’m $400 short of Guthrie 🙁
I looked at Keayes , ( thanks Gunboat ) but he has a pretty tough run home. Dogs / Port / Melb.
I’ve nailed it down to these two..
McCluggage. 3 round ave 106.. Season 102.
Brisbane have a very soft run home. Hawks / Freo / Pies / TBC.
I like the way he goes about it, and at his age has got to be the more durable of the two. Brisbane can’t afford to slip up and I see a few soft kills ahead.
Boak. 3 round ave 96… Season 105
Average run home GWS / Crows ( showdown ) / Carlton.
Champion of the game but maybe playing a bit sore ?
He likes a showdown medal if I remember correctly.
So who would you choose ?
T/U The Scottish Suitcase .
T/D Boak.
Thanks folks..
.. and good luck with your finals match ups this weekend.
Afternoon, FT.
Yeah, fair pass on Keays.
I’ve got Boak. As much as I admire him as a player, I’d pass. Long stints on the bench, always gets attention at stoppages, just doesn’t have the ceiling.
Not a fan of McCluggage either. Had that great two month period where he covered Neale, but he’s back to playing on a wing. Only 5 CBAs last week, behind Robertson and Bailey, so you’d be relying on the Lions generating outside ball.
Bigger issue is his DE, such a butcher – it will frustrate the f*ck out of you. CT’s had him early and has said much the same.
I’d honestly be giving Zak Jones, JPK or T. Kelly a look (in that order). Jones found his sea legs and eased in a fortnight ago, but was back to the 2nd highest CBA load last week (21; 140 SC).
JPK and T. Kelly have their own issues (durability, ceiling, etc.) but should close out the H&A season strong as Swans and Eagles try to push as deep as possible into the 8.
Good luck whoever you roll with. Stick to your guns.
I have Cripps as M8 and am fed up with his pathetic scores
TU Cripps and Bramble >> Bont/Miller and Durham
TD Cripps and Brockman >> Guthrie and Parker (and have Bramble as cover for injuries or loop)
only have 2 trades left so would be final trades for the year
remaining bench cover is (bianco, newcombe, finlay macrae, reeves)
open to other suggestions as well or do I just hold and loop cripps with bramble
Better M9
TU – Parker
TD – West
Need a Defender with $500K
T/U Whitfield
T/D Daniels
TU Touk, Wines/Lyons, Highmore
TD Guthrie, Taranto, Mills
Option #1) Miller (120), Wines/Lyons (115) & Highmore (80) = 315
Option #2) Guthrie (110), Trapanto (95), Mills (115) = 320
Pretty close in points on paper, but floors and ceilings important to consider.
I’d go for Option #1 given the ceiling of Miller compared to the floor of Taranto; Miller spits out 140s like its nothing (2 of last 4 140 ), while Taranto’s highest score in the last month has been a 105. Not only does he regularly sub-ton, but Taranto’s CBAs have been tracking downwards (2 last week) and he is an absolute butcher.
That balances out Highmore D6 imo. Only case for Option #2 would be not wanting to risk a Highmore hand re-injury or the Saints doing something stupid like playing him or tall or (somehow) dropping him.
Mills, Guthrie, Wines/Lyons all great picks, but think it comes down to Miller v Taranto on that ceiling/floor point. A week where Miller has a 147 and Taranto serves up an 81 – that’s gg.
Great feedback, cheers.
Touk is locked in now.
The two combos now are
TU Wines/Lyons, Highmore
TD Mills, Sharp
Struggling to decide who to bring in for Pendles with only $495k to work with. Was juggling between Mcluggage and Tim Kelly and my gut says to go with Kelly. However, I just realised I can move someone like Danger into the midfield and then get another forward like Marshall instead. What to do?
T/up – Go with Kelly
T/down – Bring in Marshall
I Smith???
He’s been good the last 6 weeks but he just doesn’t have a very high ceiling. I feel like there are other players on the Cats that take points off him in Dangerfield, Menegola, Guthrie, Higgins, Parfitt and Selwood. He has been consistent for the last 6 weeks but I just don’t think his ceiling is high enough.
Appreciate your input!
I would not get rid of Bramble. He could ave. better than the replacement.
Cripps to a a similar price might be a gamble worth taking leaving 1 trade.
Like Fiorini or TKelly or others if you have some money in the bank.
how much will hall outscore marshall by- or will he? the 90k discount is tempting as still have a few trades left and taranto in the mids…. last fwrd option-
T/U marshall
T/D hall
Who has the better JS?
TU S. Durham
TD C. West
Thanks!
Tu Wines
Td Guthrie
Cheers coaches
First time post, long time admirer.
82,500 cash in bank already.
I have been thinking about with my last two trades:
Bianco > Durham
Brockman > Sidebottom or Fiorini
By trading Bianco to Durham the max cash I have is $422,100. Is there anyone else who I could get or perhaps wait a week? playing a knockout final this week.
Sorry the max cash after those two trades is 422,1k.
Hey, Tony.
I think SideB is a really solid pick with Pendles out, went right back to an on ball role and should see the year out there. Good for 100 avg.
Hope your right GD as he’s my likely Weightman replacement. But I’m also considering Wingard. Last minute decision pending.
If I trade Taranto should I go with
Hawkins or Marshall
Do you think Taranto can come back and be relevant
TU yes he will come back strong
TD no trade him to a more valuable fwd and play Bramble on field
TU:Touk
TD:Bont
So tough to split, Alex.
Here’s their last four match ups each, if that helps you decide:
Miller: Dees, Blues, Dons, Swans
Bont: Crows, Dons, Hawks, Port
Very tough call but I’d just lean towards Bont because of the extra CD love he seems to get (speaking as an owner of Bont)
Oh, yeah. Good point, Joe.
I own both Miller and Bont and the CD treatment is night and day: they just love Bont, whereas Miller must have picked on them in Year 8 P.E.
Bont’s average when Dunkley plays this season is 112. 3 of the 7 games are sub 100. Dunkley should play the last 4 games, maybe something to note.
Who scores more for the rest of the year?
T/U: Sidebottom
T/D: Hawkins
who to play on field?
T/U taranto
T/D bramble
Sending all my love to Ben Cunnington first and foremost but is it fair to say he won’t be back this season?
Just a bit of advice have Taranto in the mid is it silly to trade to Bont it is sideways im in a knock out final with two trade rookies on ground Madden and Bianco cheers for the advice .
Anyone want to guess on Dunkleys output for the next 4 weeks? Is he worth getting in for his price? Cheers. I’m really struggling with my last mid spot. (Replacement of Pendels)
M.Parker JS?
T/U rock solid
T/D shaky

Hey everyone!
I ended up holding Dusty last week to see how Bolton would go. 2 trades left, 42k in the bank.
Rioli is mighty tempting as it would give me 194k in the bank to use my final trade on upgrading Cripps or Taranto (should I need to).

Keep both and trade Sharp to Steele.
Cheers.

hi guys,
would you trade, Taranto to Guthrie??
Yes
Or
No
cheers
T/U – Use my last trade to upgrade Bramble to my last premo forward around 510k
T/D – Save it until Bramble increases in price a bit more
Marty Parker is the rookie at F6
Mids – Steele, Bont, Macrae, Walsh, Merrett, Mitchell, Lyons and Sharp (Jordan, Fyfe and Newcombe)
Fwds – Danger, Ziebell, Dale, Greene, Bolton, Madden (Waterman and Ginnivan)
TU – Jordan to Oliver and field Madden
TD – Madden/Highmore to Hall and field Sharp
2 trades left – Weightman/Madden as F6 for now. Rest of the team are keepers.
Scenario: Considering downgrading CCJ to DURHAM via DPP.
This will leave me with $328k in the bank for that final trade. Could then pull the trigger on a trade to Zorko or Dunkley in the final weeks of finals (finished top of league, so have a 2nd chance this week).
So… should I use a trade to downgrade CCJ to DURHAM?
TU: DO IT – 1 remaining trade is high risk if multiple players get injured, but it’s worth it for that final upgrade in a few weeks
TD: DON’T – injuries are coming thick and fast – save those 2 trades!
TU:
Dusty, Bolton > Marshall, Stephenson
TD:
Dusty, Bianco > Dunkley, C West
Both leave me with same amount of trades, cash, and rookies on field (unless Bolton counts as a rookie)
I have $430,100 available for my last trade. Who is likely to get the most points over the next 4 rounds?
T/U: Fiorini
T/D: Franklin
Feel free to suggest any other MID or FWD under $430,100 if you think they could be better than the two options above.
TU:- Finley Macrae
TD:- James Peatling
Have 3 trades left & 296k ITB. 2 options I’m looking at this week
TU – CCJ & Newcombe > Dunkley & C.West (full premo with 1 trade left)
TD – CCJ > Marshall (2 trades left to cover for emergencies)
If you have $220K left but only one trade, do you
TU upgrade to last premium, as there is cover in every line so no donuts if injuries
TD save that trade for injury of big dog, and risk having unused cash
Hi all, it’s finals season!!
Last week I traded Dusty & Waterman > Dale & Matt Parker
Before trades this week I have 2 trades left and $192,600 ITB.
Any advice/feedback would be greatly appreciated.
DEF: Laird, Mills, Stewart, Lloyd, Short, Whitfield (Madden, Bianco )
MID: Walsh, Macrae, Titch, Oliver, ZMerrett, Jelly, Bramble, Sharp (Durham, Newcombe, Downie)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Reeves)
FWD: Dangerfield, Ziebell , De Goey, Dale, Greene, Bolton (Brockman, Parker)
Cheers!!
