  1. I have a feeling that there are going to be plenty of donuts on offer this week. Hopefully some of those rookies (Koschitzke, Bergman, Flynn, Highmore et al) come back to save us!

    Butters to Jiath
    Jordon to Waterman?

    1. Two weeks too late on Jiath. that’s why I burnt a premium last week. Sadly the wrong one.

      1. If I think he’s going to average 95+ for the rest of the season, it’s nowhere near being “too late”.

  2. F**k trying to get cash cows, f**k trying to get PODs, time to get in midfield premos who are going to give me consistent 120+. Tried way too hard to go for a POD-heavy team and it’s coming back to bite me now.

    Out: Adams and LDU
    In: Oliver and Macrae/Steele (depending if I can afford one of them)

  3. Hard to know what to do. There seem to be only about a half dozen premiums worth going for across the board, the rest are scoring like crud. Guys like Jiath & Impey are looking more viable now despite their price rises.

  4. Waterman looking a strong chance to make his way into the team, it is just which rookie to offload for him. Dow, Sharp, Brockman, Jordon and probably more are viable options

  5. I have Heeney, Daniel and Butters managed 1890, with rookies failing and Powell on the bench.
    Going to be a quiet week next week

  6. Butters > dunkley
    Kozi > jones

    These are my likely trades this week..
    I had the donut from flynn at R2 this week and ended up with a low score from fullarton at R3, Hoping he comes back in but mummy looked good.
    Also took a donut from kozi/highmore which should make jones a necessity for me if his JS is looking good.
    If flynn doesnt come back in it might become lachie hunter > rookie and flynn > premo ruck ..
    Which could still leave me with a donut down back.. cruel game we play
    (155k ITB)

    1. Could take a punt on Treacy getting named again and go Flynn to Treacy, Kozi/Highmore to Jones to avoid the donut

  7. Team is honestly in shambles, in a money league and need some serious help!!
    Def – laird,Stewart, Daniel, j clarke, Chapman, kozi (highmore, sharp)
    Mids – Oliver, bont, merret, Cripps, Taranto , gulden , jordon, berry ( Powell, brockman, Scott)
    Ruck- gawndy (flynn)
    Forward – dunkley, dusty, zieball, Warner , Daniher, campbell ( Bergman, rowe)
    $227k in the bank any advice would be amazing!!!

    1. Team doesn’t seem that bad on paper, just appears you need some bodies in the defence, which a majority of people are having the same issue.
      I’d take out Kozi and bring in Jiath which will require an additional downgrade to have the $$. Possibly Bergman > Waterman.

      However, with Daniel’s 1 week suspension you could also upgrade him to Ridley/Short and then use the left over money to trade Kosi to a Jones (Port) type. You’ll still have leftover $$ for next week where you can upgrade further and have the defensive bodies to field. Goodluck either way

  8. Unfortunately I’m unable to upgrade Daniel to Ridley without sacrificing a Flynn type, which I’m hesitant to do since Treacy didn’t offer much today and Mummy won’t be able to play week-in week-out so theres more cash to make on Flynn. As such, I’ll hold Daniel through his week suspension and hope he gets off.

    Kosi > Jones
    Bergman > Waterman.

    There is a chance Bergman comes back into the team with Port’s injuries but if not Waterman will come in. Cheers

    1. If anyone can make a strong argument towards downgrading Flynn to Treacy to enable a Daniel > Ridley upgrade I’d be happy to hear it. Otherwise I’ll just proceed with the above trades and stack the $$.

      1. probably not the smartest idea, here’s why-the latest out of the best team in the league (Freo) is rory lobb is a test for sunday so even if he doesnt return this week he will next week putting Treacy on shaky ground. Good luck and remember, go Freo!

  9. Bank: 109,400
    Def
    J.Llyod,R.Laird,C.Daniel,J.Short,N.Cox,H.Chapman (H.Sharp,T.Highmore)
    Mid
    L.Neale,M.Bont,D.Martin,P.Cripps,S.Walsh,E.Gulden,B.Campbell,T.Powell

    Forward
    J.Dunkley,J.Ziebell,J.Daniher,C.Warner,J.Rowe,P.Dow (H.Jones,O.Henry)

    so lost on what to do so many problem on my team any tips on where to start wish we had more trades.

    1. Thinking the same. Only concern is Steele playing Thursday and not having a trade to save any selection carnage

    1. Plan A version B
      Still Butters to Waterman
      Daniels to Bowes. Bowes seem to be in a favourable SC role and should average 110ish for the year.

      Then next week a rookie like Jordon/brockman/Scott into Oliver/Steele with the extra cash.

      Cambell has better job security and has potential to put high scores.

      7

      1
  10. TU: Adams and LDU -> Oliver and Macrae, $13k itb

    TD: Adams and LDU -> Oliver/Macrae and Duncan/Walsh, $100k itb

    Just want to see if people think it’s better to go for the 2 uber premos and set and forget, or go the second option and have some cash in the bank for future upgrades.

  11. Hands up if you held Luke McDonald thru a late out in rd1, misses the next 2 weeks after that and then scores a fabulous 3!
    Head up, at least he doesn’t drop in price. (Also a Caleb owner!)

    7

    8
    1. Yep, I’ve seen enough.

      Takes a majority of the kick ins, great KH ratio and set to accumulate and distribute plenty in what will likely be a backline under siege each week.

      10

      1
    2. I was going to bring him in this week but had to adjust on the fly with Flynn out. He seems to have an established role that scores well and has a friendly bye round.

  12. Daniel > Jiath
    Daniher > Waterman

    build some bank, although feel Daniher could score well against the dons at home.

  13. Brockman —> Waterman
    Daniel —> Short

    Means I don’t have to field Koz this week either.

    Next week:
    Koz —> L Jones

  14. Daniel my only problem this week (phew….) but also have barely anything in bank 🙁

    1. Surely you’d have to see more than 89 and 85 before you bring in a midfielder priced at 585k?!?

  15. Thoughts on Daniher > Impey?

    Pretty annoyed I didn’t get on Impey earlier in the season. Have I missed the boat or do we genuinely think he is the real deal and could hold down a spot at F6?

    TU: Do it, get Impey in
    TD: Not worth it

    20

    26
  16. Fullerton-Waterman
    Daniel-Ridley

    TU – do it
    TD – don’t do it

    Concerned I’m still not getting closer to full premium but Ridley seems to be a must-have

    7

    7
    1. Plenty of love for a Campbell-Waterman trade according to the polls below to make Daniel-Ridley happen. But Fullerton-Waterman not nearly as much.

      Any reasoning? I would have thought Campbell has far better JS and higher ceiling than Fullerton, especially with McStay coming back soon.

      1. Maybe people want a swingman ruck? A couple of bad scores to bring marshall down in price and that looks very very enticing to have a R3 f/r

        2

  17. Early thoughts are Brockman to Waterman and Jordon to Jiath swinging Laird or Clark to Mids.

  18. Have Butters and Heeney, nightmare. I’m going to bench Heeney, and go BCampbell to Waterman and Butters to a premo defender (through DPP). Can you help?

    TU: Ridley
    TD: JLloyd

  19. TU: chugg > Bowes, Hawkins > Waterman
    Gets rid of my 100% donut D and brings in a good rookie

    TD: don’t be crazy, Hawkins is the best and you need Ridley.
    Kosi > Ridley, Neale > McNeill/Giro

    My current issue is that I wish I’d traded Neale but he is still outperforming Hawkins

    3

    1
    1. Hawkins had a once in a lifetime season.

      A key forward at that age? Tex is 2 years younger.

    1. Depends on your bye structure. At the price you are paying for Jiath now you’re taking him as a keeper. Likewise Bowes.

  20. Trading out Daniel this week
    Should I bring in;

    Tu; Bowes
    Td; Steele (via dpp)

    *please keep in mind the lack of defensive rookies available. Also, if I go with Bowes, it’ll leave me enough cash to bring in another premo the week after. If I pick Steele, this means I won’t have enough to upgrade to a premo next week. Thoughts appreciated!

  21. Will need to make a trade down back to avoid a donut and think I want to bring Waterman in.

    Kosi -> Jones
    Bergman -> Waterman

    T/U: Good move
    T/D: Wasted sideways trades

    6

  22. If Butters is out, he’ll be going along with De Goey to Waterman.

    Best trade in?

    T/U – Ridley
    T/D – Steele (Jack)

    Comment – Dangerfield

  23. Have Daniher as my F6 at the moment with Rowe and Scott as my bench players. Do I upgrade to Impey or downgrade to Waterman for extra cash flow?

    TU: Impey
    TD: Waterman

    16
    1. Conditions didn’t help Daniher in Ballarat. He did kick 3.3 against the pies. I’m going to hold him for another week.

  24. Ideally I would like to trade Dow, Daniel, T Adams and Neale, but realistically I can’t do that. I think the priority of people I need to get rid of is as follows.

    1. Adams
    2. Daniel (I would cop a 0 this week with Sharp and Highmore on my bench)
    3. Dow (Would quite like to trade him for Waterman though)
    4. Neale

    T/U – Agree
    T/D – Disagree
    Would love explanations why/why not in the comments

    10

    3
    1. Probably worth considering Adams to a premo defender and swing Sharp into the mids so you don’t have any 0s down back and hopefully you’ve got enough rookies in the midfield to cover that 0. Then you’d be able to do Dow for Waterman to make some cash.
      As a Daniel owner, I do understand wanting to get rid of him too though but as someone who traded Adams and Dow out last week, it’s a pretty good feeling to be rid of those two.

    1. You’ve committed to the 136k price drop already. Worth sticking to him as you know he has the potential to pump out huge scores and turn his luck around quickly! Shouldn’t drop anymore than around 50k from now so not worth sideways trading IMO

      17

      0
    1. Heppell won’t be a keeper and has really poor durability so likely to miss games. Better off going waterman for cash gen purposes

  25. campbell and highmore out for waterman and Jones – leaves $187,300 in bank – next week premo upgrade – possibly clark to ridley

  26. Have the headaches of Daniel and Butters to deal with but I’m also already down to 24 trades and really don’t want two sideways trades. I can get 6 in my backline by swinging Clark into D5 and Chapman at D6 but one of Koschitzke, Highmore or Daniel would have to go. Still holding onto Butters until a timeline is announced and might just hold if it’s only a couple of weeks (I’m lying to myself with optimism here) but I want to hold my second trade for the week in case he needs to go.

    TU: Koschitzke to Waterman to get better cash generation
    TD: Daniel to a premo. I’ve got 150k so can get anyone really and through DPPs it can be any position except ruck.

  27. 101k in the bank/26 trades

    Lloyd, short, May, Daniels, Jiath (highmore/Chugg)

    Oliver, Neale, zerrett, Walsh, Taranto, Clark, gulden, powell (Jordon/berry/McNeil)

    Gawndy (Flynn)

    Ziebell, impey, Warner, daniher, Rowe, Scott (brockman/Treacy)

    Obvious holes in May and Daniel needs attention.

    T/U for may/Daniel to petracca and l.Jones via DPP
    T/D for May/Daniel to lever and crouch via DPP

    Comment any suggestions, would be appreciated

  28. Butters will likely need to go.

    TU: Impey (looking more like a keeper each week)
    TD: Toby Greene

    Extra cash from the Impey trade will allow me to go Flynn – Gawn next week or the week after.

    1. Was almost on him this year. He’s a good solid 110 point player but he comes with no discount.

      2

      1
  29. Why is everyone trading Daniel?
    I realize he’s copped 1 week, he only scored 19 and he’ll lose a bit more money and people have donuts to contend with, but I thought he was a keeper.
    Has he perhaps had a roll change or been injured
    Or something else I don’t know about.
    Let me know. Thanks

    4

    1. He doesn’t look like a keeper. he hasn’t all season. plus 19 in the price cycle for 3 weeks and a likely donut if you keep him.

      8

    2. I think his role has changed. Not taking kick-ins and ran around at half forward for a bit on the weekend.

      1. Caleb kick ins for first four weeks are
        1. 55% highest
        2. 56% highest
        3. 67% highest.
        4. 33% equal highest with Bailey Dale. Alex Keith 17%( first time taking kick ins this year) also Taylor Duryea 17%( was 22% previous 2 games.)

  30. This week I’ve got a couple problems in
    Daniel, Butters, Campbell, Jordan and Kosi

    But thinking longer term Daniel is only 1 week and butters will be out for a few so I’m thinking
    Keeping in mind Campbell B/E is 71

    Butters – Steele
    Campbell – L.Jones (via Laird to mid)

    7

    0
      1. Thanks for the reply

        Yes Campbell can score well but I’m after some cash as I’ve only got $40k in the bank before the butters trade

        My other option since my post was to go

        Butters to Zieball
        And
        Kosi to Jones

  31. Campell & Brockman out
    Impey and Waterman in

    T/U Go for it
    T/D Bad idea

    Still only got 10 players total and three of them are non playing rookies for Rd 14 bye round need to start trading to a least try and cover some spots.

    3

    7
      1. True but at Rd 5 I only have 7 players on the ground for Rd14 would be good to get a few more, I try not to trade to hard at the beginning of the season just injuries or dropped players, rage trade after the bye rounds.

  32. Trading Daniel, not only is he suspended but has a complete role change imo – has to go.

    T/U – Stewart
    T/D – Bowes

    Cheers everyone!

    13
  33. Not sure whether to upgrade Daniel to Bowes/Stewart/Houston or go down the Jiath route. Definitely think he needs to go, not liking the look of his current role.

    Starting Backs are: Lloyd, Ridley, Laird, Short, Daniel, H.Chapman

    I personally think I’ve missed the Jiath boat but interested to hear peoples opinions on who they think my best option is.

    TU: Bowes/Stewart/Houston
    TD: Jiath

    14

    4
  34. Why is everyone trading Campbell out over some other rookies that are worse kick brockman???
    TU: Campbell to Waterman
    TD: Brockman to Waterman

    1

    24
  35. Steven May > Jiath
    Chugg > Lachie Jones

    Holding on Daniel. Brutal round 4… might go for a cry.

    If Highmore plays (unlikely), seriously considering:

    May > Jones
    Clark > Ridley

  36. If you had to trade 1 this week, which one would you trade?

    TU – Jordon
    Or
    TD – Campbell

    Please note, the one i dont trade will more than likely be on field.

    Cheers.

  37. I have got the funds to move Neale to any premo i want, should i continue to hold him or shaft while i still can?

    TU: Hold
    TD: Shaft

  38. Who to Trade Out? (I guess, it’s basically whoever is out longest)
    TU Butters
    TD Heeney
    Thanks Coaches

    15

    7
    1. Butters will be out weekslonger than Heeney. Heeney is maybe 3 weeks, which is lineball to keep.

      Butters will probably be around 6-8 weeks,so most likely becomes a bye related trade.

      But until they confirm, you’re best saving your trades as late as you can this week.

  39. is it too late for jiath and impey?

    T/U -Yes, ship has sailed both risen to much in price

    T/D – No, although both risen in price, they are still cheap and have pts and money to make.

    cheers guys

    11

    13
    1. If you’re bringing them in at this point, it’s not for cash generation but because you think they’ll be a keeper. For DEF and FWD, that’d mean you would want them to average 95+ from here.

      8

      0
      1. Which on three hundreds each on the trot and each with a 100 average might not be too unbelievable, even if unexpected at the start of the season.

        A 90+ average at their price point as a forward or back puts them into luxury trade category later, and 95+ makes them a potential keeper.

        Certainly the points seem to be there for quicker players this season.

        4

  40. T/u – Campbell to Waterman, Daniel to Ridley (Have to field Jordan M8)
    T/d – Jordan to Waterman, Daniel to Short (Keep Campbell M8)

  41. We have 3 holes to cover. Two injured forwards and Daniel.

    I am tempted to go with Hickey or Grundy. But Grundy looks like he still has a bit more price slide in him, given what’s happening at the pies, and while Hickey still has some decent price growth in him, but he really is a now or never proposition.

    Gawn and Grundy will still be the dominant pairing, but the gap between Grundy and the rest has shrunk and he’s no longer an absolute essential. The Pies midfield will only make that situation worse. This is exactly what people were concerned about with the whole G&G lock-in thing.

    I’m also tempted to take Bowes and complete my defence but he’s near full priced already. So there really isn’t too much rush on that.

    I can also take Grundy instead of Waterman, but based on Mummy slowing down in Q4 and Flynn having his break I am hoping that Mummy gets a rest this week.
    Although I’m sure Mummy would love to go up against Hickey at his old club this week.

    If I have Fullerton as coverage that may have to do. If Fullerton gets dropped I will bring in a ruck.

    So once again it’s all a bit what if until teams come in. It’s so frustrating that you find players dropped after their replacement has already played their match.

    5

    1. Worth noting that Grundy wasn’t trusted with solo rucking or even rucking against Nic Nat with just Cox’s support last year. Cameron played both times.

      His two matches last year were:
      Elimination final 105 (yet only 67 AF and 19 hitouts 12 possesions) which smells like a massive scaleup by CD. (Grundy/Cox/Cameron)

      Round 8 – 61 (62 AF) on 10 possessions and 24 hitouts with Grundy/Cameron.

      2019 games, however, were a bit more like Grundy’s average.
      2018 games were also suffering from huge discrepancies between AF and SC scores.

      My points here being I won’t be rushing Grundy in this week, and I strongly advise against him as a captain option this week.

      3

      1
  42. My proposed actions:

    Out Daniel (suspended, future cash drops) and Butters (injured medium term)
    In Waterman (cash) and Greene (form, underpriced).

    This covers all holes with dpp shifts. (Clark to Backline, Brockman to midfield bench).

    6

    8
  43. Feels a little premature to trade out Jordan Clark and Daniher but feels like a good time to be aggressive.

    Currently only used 3 trades. Thinking the following.

    T/U – Daniher & Clark to Steele & Waterman $24K ITB
    T/D – Dow & Clark to Walsh & Waterman $50k ITB

    or maybe just go Dow down to Waterman and try for a double upgrade next week.

    1. Emile

      J Clark plays North at alphabet stadium ( Home)

      He has been playing forward, and I think he may get on the end of a few. This may be the week he goes big. I would Hold.

      I really like Steele ( I own him ) I’m not sure paying $650K at this stage, is a good idea. I just think the way the rookies are looking if you want a chance to get to “Full Premo” you will need to get in as many Fallen Premiums ( sub $550K ) as possible. Going Steele now could mean your stuck with a rookie or two on field come the end of the year.

      Best of luck anyway.

      PS..I have no problem with you trading out Dow and Danniher 😉

      1. Thanks FT. Very sound advice!

        I’m a little unsure about Waterman as a small forward who relies on goals to score SC points (already have two in McNeil and Scott). Thinking going early on Lachie Jones, for Dow, might be better.

    1. At that price I reckon you’d want to see him back up this weekends performance before his price rise as he’s priced around his career average.

      1. On Crouch. $448K mid.

        His BE is 59 and he should rise between $15K-$25K

        He should top $500k the week after, ( R6) with a decent score this week.

        I was looking at him as a Heeney replacement. I’m actually more worried about his body holding up rather than his scoring ability. He has a long history of soft tissue injuries. This doesn’t fill me with any confidence he can play out the season.

        I’ve already lost Rowel, Young and now have Heeney to deal with/ cover.. I just can’t take the risk on him at this stage.

        If you have a heap of trades (27 or more ) and want to roll the dice.
        He could pay off big time.

        You have to love a guy who has 12 tackles.

        Best of luck.

  44. Definitely trading out Daniel this week. Interested to see if coaches feel Jordan and Campbell need trading this week and if so which one?

    T/U – Hold trade for one more week.
    T/D – Empty the clip and secure those points

    6

    6
      1. Why Jordan?? His be is 47 and so far scored 78/82/49/24. Was most likely managed on the weekend as most rookies will be. Where as Campbell’s be is 71 and has scores of 56/118/29/51.

  45. Ranked around 4,000 and have used 5 trades already. Winning all my league games. $60k in the bank

    Def – Lloyd, Laird, Ridley, Stewart, J Clark, Chapman (Kozi, Highmore)
    Mids – Macrae, Neale, Merrett, Taranto, Gulden, Campbell, Jordon, Berry ( Powell, Brockman, Newchurch (102k loop))
    Ruck- Gawn, Grundy (Flynn)
    Forward – Dunkley, Dusty, Zieball, Warner , Daniher, Fullerton (Bergman, Rowe)

    I am thinking one of two options – again 25 trades left
    TU: Sit tight and hold trades – in a pretty good spot
    TD: Using DPP, Jordon to Waterman, Campbell to Jiath (with Keeper intentions) leaving me with $25k and my team looking like this:

    Def – Lloyd, Laird, Ridley, Stewart, C Jiath, Chapman (Kozi, Highmore, )
    Mids – Macrae, Dunkley, Neale, Merrett, Taranto, Gulden, J Clark , Berry ( Powell, Brockman, Newchurch (102k loop))
    Ruck- Gawn, Grundy (Flynn)
    Forward – Dusty, Zieball, Warner, Daniher, Rowe, Fullerton (Bergman, Waterman)

  46. Didn’t get much feedback on the fix my team thing, so I’ll try again here

    Current team:
    DEF – Laird, Short, Daniel, Jiath, Clark, Cox (Highmore, Fyfe)
    MID – Macrae, Fyfe, Merrett, Petracca, Taranto, Gulden, Campbell, Powell (Jordon, Brockman, McNeil)
    RUC – Gawn, Flynn (Meek)
    FWD – Dunkley, Martin, Heeney, Ziebell, Phillips, Warner (Rowe, Scott)

    26 trades left with $17k spare in the salary cap.

    One person I have to get rid of is Heeney. Swans said they’re hopeful he’ll be back in 2-3 weeks, but them using the term ‘hopeful’ isn’t too promising to my ears.

    Daniels has had a wonky start, and him being out this week doesn’t help but I’m hoping he comes good. If Highmore gets called back into the Saints side I’ll be much more likely to keep him in. Was hoping to downgrade Clark to Jones next week if I can help. If not, I’ll have to either upgrade Daniel and downgrade someone, upgrade Highmore to Jones and downgrade someone else.

    Also I don’t know if it’s just me, but is anyone else now afraid for Flynn JS? After Mumford’s performance, you think that the Giants might continue to stick with him after that. I don’t know, but that worries me at the moments, especially when I only have Meek as a backup (thanks Draper for getting injured beforehand).

    Jordon apparently may be dropped as well from what I’m hearing. And even though McNeil and Scott’s BE is still okay, there scoring is concerning as I don’t know if their JS is okay now.

    I had some ideas but I’m not sure which one to go for:

    1. Heeney > Impey
    Daniel > DEF premo around $500-550k

    2. Heeney > Impey
    Highmore > Jones

    3. Jordon > Waterman (through Scott DPP)
    Daniel > DEF premo around $500-550k

    4. Jordon > Waterman (through Scott DPP)
    Highmore > Jones.

    Or if Highmore gets called up:

    Jordon > Waterman (through Scott DPP)
    Heeney > FWD premo around $550k

    Something that’s been advised to me by a couple of people as well was Heeney > Waterman, but I personally think that’s a stupid trade downgrading a premo/near-premo to a rookie. Totally takes away that strength in the FWD line.

    What do you guys think I should do?

    1. Would you even swing Jordan>Jones through Fyfe dpp? and possibly Heeney to a mid premo through Campbell

      2

    2. Don’t think Highmore will come in, we will find out on Wednesday night.

      If highmore doesn’t play:
      Daniel to Stewart or Bowes
      Heeney to Impey.

      Have to wait from Leon Cameron in regards to Flynn or when team selections come out on Friday night. Mumford might be sore after aggressive game against Grundy.
      If highmore plays and flynn doesn’t
      Heeney to Waterman
      Upgrade meek to Grundy if you have the cash, if not, Hickey with B/E of -4.

      I know you think it’s silly trading premium to rookie but Waterman will generate cash and you have Grundy/Hickey strengthening the ruck stock. But Ziebell is scoring like a premium and Warner is scoring well so don’t worry about Waterman taking Heeney’s spot.

      0

      1. If I was to get Grundy or Hickey to avoid having any donuts, I’d have to leave Heeney, because I need to replace either Daniel or Highmore as well. Otherwise I’ll be getting a donut in the defence with only 5 players available if I sorted Heeney out instead.

  47. Same with the guy above, no feedback on fix your team post.

    Bank: $146 000

    Def: Laird, Short, Stewart, May, Clark, Chapman (Briggs, Highmore)
    Mid: Macre, Oliver, Merrett, Petracca, Brayshaw, Gulden, Campbell, Jordon (Brockman, McNeil, Scott)
    Ruck: Gawn, Flynn (Treacy)
    Fwd: Dunkley, Martin, Walker, Ziebell, Warner, Daniher (Rowe, Bergman)

    May has to go unfortunately.

    Im thinking May and Scott out (via Dusty) for Ridley and Waterman
    or
    May and Scott (via Dusty) out for Jiath and Waterman and bank $241 300 for next premium upgrade.
    or
    Any suggestions that you think is better than my suggestions, thank you.

    1. Get may out Daniel rich is a safe option always polling about 90-112

      Depends how much cash you have left

      Sholl is also a cheaper laird can be played on mid if you want to dispose of dusty

  48. Certainly the situation where you could potentially be trading blind (due to the teams only being called a day before the match) is adding a Russian roulette feel to the game this year.
    Especially when you might be forced to trade out a player from game one for another player who has yet to be confirmed.

    After reading the Caleb Daniel’s poll thoughts. I think I’ll just persevere with him.

    I will be now trading Butters to Waterman

    If Highmore plays I’ll trade Jordon and my left over cash to get best possible available Mid which could be Zerret/Oliver

  52. Have a big decision to make on the trade front this week and interested to hear what you guys think. I’d like to add Macrae and Oliver to my mids over the next few weeks too if possible.

    I’m thinking one of the following scenarios:

    TU: Daniher, Kosi > Waterman, Bowes (265k bank) [Keep Caleb Daniel and have full premium defence]

    TD: Daniher, Daniel > Waterman, Bowes (590k bank) [Primed to pickup Macrae and Oliver over the coming weeks]

  56. Hey everyone, Hope your week is going well.

    Currently thinking:
    Daniel -> Ridley
    Clark -> Cox

    Cox has a BE of -44 compared to Clark’s 37 or so and will be handy when Zeibell gets DEF/FWD status. Also leaves me with $150k in the bank currently. If Finn Macrae does well, then next week I’ll likely go:

    Jordon/Campbell -> Macrae
    Kos/Highmore -> L. Jones

    The Following week, assuming no injuries, I’ll probably have $250k – $300k in the bank for a significant upgrade. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

    1. Hi GFH !
      The answer to your 3way question is Yes
      If you have a Def/Fwd ,a Def/Mid & a Fwd/Mid & an empty position to start the process. eg… say you have Cox starting in Def, Campbell sitting in Fwd line & Sharp sitting in the Mids & you’ve traded out a fwd. Then you’d move Cox to fwd, Sharp to Def & Campbell to Mid. You’d have moved your players around & still retain your empty Fwd possi.
      Hope that helps !

    2. Yes, but it requires having players traded out, and utililizing the dpp after the vacancy is created.

      So create the vacancy with the trade out, then you can shuffle a dpp into their spot, then a dpp into the subsequent spot, then trade in the player you want in the final location(s).

      Relatively simple on the computer but a serious pain in the butt via phone app.

      1. Rick..Its not quite that simple..

        On Campbell.
        I would read Cow Talk ( out this afternoon.) before making this trade.
        It was just three weeks ago (R2) he scored 118
        This week that 118, has dropped from his price cycle, hence the high BE .

        Campbell has an ugly 29 (R3) about to drop out of his price cycle after this week, this should bring his BE back down again.

        If he scores 64 ( as predicted ) he will only lose $3k and his BE will be back to low 30’s

        If he goes 90 ( unlikely but not impossible) his BE will be in the minuses again.

        I think he’s worth holding.

  65. Hunter > Waterman via Treacy? $102k threesome!

    Doesn’t net me any cash but if Hunter isn’t named tomorrow night it’s hard to see him getting a game for the rest of the season. Also gets Rowe off the field. Just concerned as it puts me down to 25 trades remaining. Pull the trigger?

    1. L Jones JS very looks very solid.

      Bonner first, then Butters and Dursma injured.

      Housten may also need to move up the ground ( unless they play Mayes on a wing ) This can only be a good thing for Jones JS and scoring.

      He looks ready made. He was great v Richmond, a little sloppy with the ball, but the pressure was finals like all night. He should only get better as he starts to fit in. Against lower opponents he may really shine. It might be as soon as this week v Carlton.

      I jumped on him last week 🙂

      1. GDAY FREO.

        I am considering a downgrade Daniel to Jones. With Lobb looking to return earlier than expected I need that cash for a upgrade to Grundy.Will give me Gawdy with Flynn on the bench. Also have Neale on the Horizon listed at a price I cannot ignore.

        Is it a bad move to do the downgrade this week will leave me with 400k in the bank.

        Or Upgrade Daniel to Bowes or Docherty. Bring Jones in for cover on the bench. Leaves next to nothing in the bank and I’m relying on Flynn to keep playing.

        1

        1. Turn Daniel into Grundy and bank the cash any day of the week.

          L Jones should be fine at D6.

          I dropped Neale before price changes. I too will look at him R7-8 if it looks like he is fit again. I won’t touch him otherwise. There’s a heap of other Premo’s with high BE’s
          That cash could come in very handy. 😉

          Best of luck this weekend.

      1. Read Father Dougal’s analysis in Cow Talk. His 29 from a fortnight ago makes his BE misleading. Unlikely to make cash this round but after that his cash generation is likely to start up again. He’s a hold.

    1. Rookies scores go up and down like a nuns knickers, the price will even out in the next week or so, trade them then unless you want to generate quick $$$. With Heeney looking suspect Campbell’s JS is OK for the next few weeks. Have a look at TOG vs scores for a more accurate picture

  85. I already posted this here before, but I’ll tell you why I’m posting it again.

    Current team:

    MID – Macrae, Fyfe, Merrett, Petracca, Taranto, Gulden, Campbell, Powell (Jordon, Brockman, McNeil)
    RUC – Gawn, Flynn (Meek)
    FWD – Dunkley, Martin, Heeney, Ziebell, Phillips, Warner (Rowe, Scott)

    26 trades left with $17k spare in the salary cap.

    Reason why is I just realized that if Flynn and Meek don’t play, I’m pretty much f***ed either way with 3 people in my defence not playing and Heeney out too. I think there’s a decent chance of that happening honestly.
    If it does, what should I do? Because I have no bloody solutions on how to solve it.

  92. Do I trade Daniher to waterman this round or go Daniher to mccreery next round? He doesn’t seem like a bad downgrade option
    TU – Waterman
    TD – Mccreery

  93. Gonna have to cop potentially Treacy at R2 or hope that Mumford is a late scratch for Flynn..

    Getting FOMO not having Ridley 2.0 aka Jack Bowes and Phillips is giving me the irrates given I didn’t start Impey (and view him at worst, F6 if he can stay healthy).

    Daniel -> Bowes
    T Phillips -> Impey

    Worth doing?
