The original and the best. Your #1 resource for daily AFL SuperCoach tips and analysis.
Hurn and Parker were the ones I planned on looking at this week.
Will all come down to selection and if there are any decent downgrade options as well.
Are you sure you wanna get Hurn the week before his bye?
Everyone has a bye coming up apart from Melbourne and Essendon players so not too fussed getting Hurn in the week before a bye especially when I’m assuming he will have a fairly low BE for this round.
Also am glad I held onto Cameron and Georgiades for the whole season!
…..and Parker 2 weeks????
Hoping Hurn stays low till after his round 10 bye
Parker have Steele, Bye, Deboer next 3 weeks
Mcasey to Hurn
Rookie downgrade if any are worth it
(McHenry, Budarick, Pickett, S. Hill, Taylor, Serong)
OUT – 2020
IN – 2019
Comments 2021…..LOL
bahahaha……
Already got my team picked. With only 5 games played….Rowell will be cheap !!
I don’t think they’ll make him too cheap or else everyone will have him. Based on his 2020 average (102), he would be around 550k. A 10% discount puts him around 500k, which is still low enough to bring him in for what he’s capable of (without his injury game, he was averaging 126).
My comment wasn’t related to footy but the world as a whole.
At this early stage, thinking about:
DSmith-Coniglio
Williamson-Short
Taylor-Close
Subject to final price fluctuations and team announcements mind you.
I’ve revised.
Williamson-Hurn
DSmith-Zerrett
Taylor-Close
Tu: Zach Merrett & Hurn / Stewart
TD: Neale & rookie (with spare cash)
Merrett and Hurn won’t be regular (if ever) captaincy options. Neale’s worth the extra coin for potential to regularly give you double points
I’m looking at just one downgrade this week and keep trades for r10 byes…only got 17 on field atm. Hope Close goes well, cheap and dpp but not keen on his js. At worst, a means to generate cash r9.
Not sure who to bring and how but Devon Smith has had his clearance approved.
I’m def keeping Dev Smith…….never seen such a pile off……of course he will go bang !!!
Dan who ??? Whouston !! LOL
Yep. During the next 4 rounds, I expect most AFL teams will heavily rotate their mids to share the load with such short recovery between games.
I expect Devon to play every game and get more mid time. But gone after Rd 10 if he doesn’t lift in the next 2 rounds.
From what I have seen he gets a lot of midfield minutes currently. Just doesn’t do anything while he is in there.
Looking at his possession map, he got his touches in the fwd pocket and a couple wide on the wing. Not a single disposal in the middle.
That just means he’s playing like crap rather than he’s not getting midfield minutes
Tackle count is also an issue for him, way down on usual. Watching him on the weekend, just looked like he was never in the right spot, think he’s a HOLD just based on the bye scenario. At worst, he’s F6 or bench coverage.
Gives away free kicks.
he is still worth more than when he started the season
With being given 4 extra trades to help with the coming bye rds, does that mean can expect the same for the future byes??
Its max 3 trades for each bye round, and an extra four trades over the rest of the season. Your SC team will show the total adjusted trades you have left.
Hey lads,
In a bit of an awkward position. 300k sitting in the bank.
My current rookies are Simpson rankine Pickett and hill. Given the super low scores this week for some premos I don’t have (Cripps Simpkin boak etc). I’m not really looking to upgrade this week in the abs ends of any value in fallen premos. And good downgrade options for this week? (I’m playing in a cash league and am undefeated so looking to peak in finals)
McPherson looked slick on Sunday – immediately benefited from Doedee’s absence. It’s possible that Doedee misses a week so he could be an ideal target for Hill. Worth considering his price after this round also.
Short break. You would think he has to be doubtful for this week at least.
I sure hope not, but it’s highly likely. Good thing I didn’t trade Starc!
Yeah. Absolutely bang on there, Fos. McPherson really got going with Doedee off and has all but locked up a spot. No problems with going Doedee/Hill to him.
Tu; Ridley
Rd; Ryan
Budarick > Close
King > Bailey Smith
Trying to get creative.
Noble > McPherson
Taylor > Close
McInerney > Gaff
anybody else’s 3rd trade not working? or have i missed something
first 2 trades i’ve gone M King to N Cahill and McInerny to Close, but now can’t trade D Smith (or anybody)
don’t worry – just refreshed my browser and all good
Brander -> Hurn
Taylor -> Close
King -> Ryder
Bang, bang, bang!
Think the Brander/Taylor/King trade out will be a popular one this week GD! Solid trades with Ryder as a smokey
Cheers, Fos.
Would have liked to keep one of King/Taylor, but need the cash.
Hope it pans out.
Doedee > McPherson
McInerney > Close
King > Petracca
These are my planned trades but Supercoach app only letting me do 2 even though it tells me I have 3 trades available. Hmmmm…
Triple trade working now
Taylor – Close
King – B Smith
Brander – Viney
Leaves me with 115k in the bank
tu or td
Yep, really like the B. Smith pick but maybe not Viney. He’ll always play third fiddle to Satan Oliver and Petracca, with the occasional belter.
With extra 115k, you can pretty much afford anyone you want. If you’re still set on a budget option, McCluggage, Lyons, Parker, Zerrett, T. Kelly, Gaff or Boak are better picks than Viney imo.
Chillo’s Fallen Premiums and Jack’s Rare Gems will also help guide you, give them a read when they come out.
Best of luck.
Probably going to change this a few dozen times in the next 36 hours or so, but right now:
McInerney -> Close
Rivers -> ETaylor
King -> Parker
I am very tempted to trade Devon Smith instead of Rivers, but the lack of a Bombers bye may just save Dev.
Parker has Steele, Deboer and bye in next 4 weeks
Can someone help me out need tips! Bank: 20,500
Defenders
N.Haynes,Docherty,Doedee,H.Andrews,J.Noble,F.Mcasey (S.Hill,T.Rivers)
Mid
C.Oliver,J.Steele,H.Mcluggae,L.Whitfield,P.Cripps,S.Walsh,M.Pickett,J.Caldwell (S.Simpson,T.Brown,S Phillip)
Forward
B.Smith,C.Petracca,D.Butler,L.Shultz,D.Smith,M.King (S.Sturt,J.Aart)
Hey, Tully.
How about:
Hill -> McPherson/Watson/Ling
T. Brown -> Close
Schultz -> FWD premo
Good choices there
Thoughts on the below trades guys?
McInerny to Close
Pendlebury to Duncan
Rozee to Walters
Duncan BE 157 & Walters has hamstring ‘cramp’?
M.King to Close
D.Smith to Petracca
J.McInnerney to Georgiades (via DPP)
Guys, I think D Smith is really bleeding my team of points in the cash league Im in, therefore, would appreciate your thoughts on the below:
T/U: McInerney to Close – Noble to McPherson – &- D Smith to Greenwood
T:D: McInerney to Close – Noble to Ling – & – D Smith to Petracca/Oliver(via DPP)
I do realise that Smith has the non-bye, but so do Petracca and / Oliver.
Thanks everyone!
Depending on doedee’s injury, I’m thinking:
Out – doedee, budarick
In – Ridley, close
Taken me 8 weeks, but am finally buying into the Ridley hype
A game against the Crows should be your Ridley litmus test SN, he’d done enough prior
Haha…that’s fair. Although getting a kick against the mighty Taylor Walker is no mean feat!
Sorry… that comment belongs in a 2015 thread
With injuries, non playing rookies and covid babies, been struggling recent weeks to get decent side on the park. Scraping 22 together each week I wasnt able to do a double downgrade to build a bank, my balance always around the $20-50k mark.
TU you need to sacrifice a week and build the bank
TD keep trying to put your best 22 on the park
Only in a comp with mates, no chance of overall.
Cheers
I know he’s cheap and has DPP but is Close a trap? He plays the mighty Eagles this week, followed by the bye. There’s a pretty strong chance he won’t be in the team in Round 11.
Geelong don’t have a bye anytime soon
Sorry my bad
Dahlhaus is a while away & I think Miers will be dropped before Close, I wouldn’t play him on field this week though.
Trade Yeo or?? Getting suspended for this game then has a bye so two weeks trade or hold??
TU:Hold
TD:Trade
If he ain’t playing I’m flogging him off tbh.
Yeo cleared at tribunal.
T/U: Ben Mckay
T/D: Darcy Cameron.
Better job security/trade down target?
TU Georgiades
TD Bradley Close
Hard to choose Close looked good but geelong have players to return from injury so does he hold he’s spot.
Georgiades didn’t deserve his score but has JS you would think with Marshall out with a broken finger/thumb.
Based on that Georgiades IMO
I have the money to go Ceglar and Nic Nat to Neale and Gawn,but this will only leave me $4k in the bank..playing purely for leagues,not ranking..I’m currently 10th..
Tu do it do it now
Td maybe get one and downgrade to Close and get the other one next week
You can do all 3 this week with 3 trades 🙂
Hey Chonkers,I have to use one of the three trades to get rid of Pittonet..
Who to get in for Devon
TU Sidebottom
TD Parker
TU Gaff
TD Shiel
Was keen on Parker but has Steele, De boer and bye in the next 4 weeks.
Does Steele continue to play the tagging role? I thought his role has changed a bit from last year! Hence, the big numbers.
Tagged Boak last week
Still managed a respectable 114! Has had two sub 100 scores in 8 rounds, was probably tagging someone in those games. Now, he seems to be critical to the Saints midfielder brigade.
Hey guys is Ben Mckay worth a look in 180k defender with scores of 70 & 86?
Thinking Hill to him to allow the Doedee to Lloyd.
Obviously only if Doedee is missing a weeks.
Another thought what do we think of
Hill to McKay & B Williams to McPherson (ADE)?
Hynsi
Lloyd is a jet but he has a Bye coming up in R11, and is very expensive atm.
I would look at maybe C Daniel, or wait a week on..
T Stewart $450 600 BE 162.
Thanks Freo I will keep looking for the ideal trade/s but it is all hypothetical until teams start dropping
Is Yeo worth trading to a better premium considering he’s gonna be on the bench for the next 2 weeks?
T/U: Yes
T/D: No
T. Green > B. Close
D. Smith > L. Neale
M. King > M. Georgiades
I need advice
230,800$ in the bank
DEF: Sic, Daniel, Ridley, Maynard, Doc, Doedee (Bj Williams, Gould)
MID: Neale, Danger, Titch, Walters, Cripps, Pickett, Simpson, Bennell (McInerney, Rivers, Robertson)
FWD: Petracca, Simpkin, Smith, King, Rankine, Budarick (Minchington, Cavarra)
I’m thinking either:
TU – Doedee > Lloyd, McInerney > Close, King > Any decent fwd max 478,700$
TD – Doedee > Haynes, McInerney > Close, King > Whitfield
or any other options?
i’ve revised, im gonna wait on the upgrade for d6 since Lloyd, Mills and Haynes BE’s are relatively high so they can drop price
TU: Doedee > Macrae (via Rivers DPP)
or
TD: Doedee > Clarry (via Rivers DPP)
other trades most likely be Rivers > McPherson, McInerney > Close
Have honestly no idea what to do yet as teams will be sporadically announced…
Thinking:
C Taylor —> Close
McInerney —> Ling
S Hill —> J Lloyd
This means holding Doedee and Noble, Rivers as D8.
Reckon McInerney to a non-Swan, Sydney have a bye R11. Ling JS to consider too?
Tu; ling
Td; Watson
As good as Vandermeer has been for me, he’s got a really difficult draw the next 3 weeks and a very high BE so he’s gotta go.
T/U: L Vandermeer > B McKay
E Yeo > C Oliver
T Green > B Smith
Leaves nothing in the bank
T/D: L Vandermeer > A McPherson
E Yeo > C Oliver
J McInerney/T Green > M Georgiades
Leaves 100k in the bank
Georgiades will rise a lot more in price over the next round than Smith is. But is it worth the 50 or more points sacrificed to gain an extra 20-40k?
Doedee & King >
T/U – Ridley & Georgiades
T/D – McPherson & Petracca
Does anyone think Rampe is an option. Has a really high ceiling but am concerned with his scores of 32 72 44 between rounds 3-5 but otherwise has gone 90-140. Could be great value if he gets rid of those terrible scores. Any swans fans or anyone that watches them have any insight for those terrible scores? Was he playing a lockdown role or injury niggles?
Great score considering he’s playing with a fractured hand, chance to miss a game before their R11 bye? Await medico’s report
Ok, so the next three weeks for me are important, and it’ll be the make or break for me for have any redemption on this season. Currently sitting at about 67000 ranking, so I need to do something.
Current team
DEF – Docherty, Laird, Doedee, Hurn, Starcevich, Williamson (Brander, Ling)
MID – Treloar, Macrae, J. Kelly, Bontempelli, Whitfield, Cripps, Budarick, Simpson (Pickett, Green, Brown)
RUC – Grundy, Goldstein (Conroy)
FWD – Simpkin, Martin, D. Smith, King, Taylor, Rankine (Aarts, Cameron)
$138k remaining
So the two main issues I have is
1 – Not having any cover for my defence
2 – Not having enough top tier forwards.
So my trading options are a bit confusing. I tried figuring out ways to get Ridley in my side, without getting rid of Doedee. The cap unfortunately always kept falling short. If Doedee is only going to be out for one game I’ll keep him, because he’s been doing very well for me in recent weeks. If he’s out for multiple, then that’s the only reason I’d get rid of him. Because with my team failing as much as they are already, I need someone to get points.
So here are my options for now:
TU – Brander, Green and King (OUT) > Ling, Close and Petracca (IN)
$113k remaining
TD – D. Smith, Green, King (OUT) > B. Smith, Close, Ryder (IN)
$41.5k remaining
Doedee trade out (if needed) below….
TU – Doedee, Brander, King (OUT) > Ridley, Ling, B. Smith (IN)
$14.2k remaining
TD > Doedee, Brander, Green (OUT) > Sicily, Ling, Close (IN)
$263k remaining
Righto, what do we think?
C.Taylor > McPherson/McKay (depends on significance of Doedee injury as to whether I go McPherson)
McIncerney > Close
D.Smith > Petracca
I don’t want to get rid of Smith as I’m a biased Essendon supporter and I want him to start getting busy again, but bringing in Petracca with Melbourne’s relatively easy games coming up, seems the smarter way to go.
TU: Yeo to Gaff
TD: Yeo to another premo
Joel
Gaff about to have the R10 Bye.
Around this price, I think both Parker and Cogs are good value but both will have their Bye R 11
Z Merrett $524 600 ave 107.8 B/E 83.
He has had his Bye and wont stay this cheap for long.
Mitch Duncan $531 400 B/E 157 will be cheaper next week but if you can’t afford to wait he is still well priced.
Best of luck.
Merrett’s good scores have come against Freo, Adelaide & Swans that’s my main concern.
T/U – Taylor to Petracca
T/D – Dev Smith to Neale
Gday lads hope we are well,
Like many of you I am a very disgruntled Dev Smith owner.
Just keen to hear some of your thoughts and arguments as to why we should keep/trade him, tossing up atm – if I upgrade would be to Bazlenka.
My only argument for holding is that he has had his Bye, otherwise he looks off the boil
Going to risk it and keep D.Smith and see if he can bring back his A game so these are the trade i’m planning to do.
TU: F.Mcasey , B.Bewley , T Brown > M.Ling , D.Martin , B.Close Bank: $126,700
TD: F.Mcasey , M.King, T Brown > M.Ling , J.Martin , B.Close $35,700
Thanks!
West Coast has appealed to the AFL to get rid of Yeo’s suspension do you know when the results will be out from that trial??
Hey Coaches!
Rozzee > Whitfield
D Smith > Gaff
J Mcinerney > B Close
I know it seems radical and I planned on holding Rozee but something’s up, he’s not producing at all. Devon Smith is seemingly not playing a SC friendly role and I feel this week to get Gaff and Whitfield for less than 1m is as a good of a deal I’ll get.
Flying at the moment but got both yeo and walters. Both will be two week outs possibly, and even if named…Sunny plays last this week.
What a dilemma….guessing these kinda things will become more common, but wasn’t planning on having to waste two trades like this.
At least I dont have to worry about D Smith…he stays now.
So,
T/U Merrett
T/D Shiel
Hey SCT.
It seems like the right time to bring in Hurn, but I have a few options to do it. Will aim to double-down to free up some money for Viney/Petracca next round.
Not sure if Rich will get much game time or play each game with a niggle on the weekend. Hill has a history so same logic.
TU: S. Hill > Hurn, M. King > ROOK, T. Berry > ROOK
TD: D. Rich > Hurn, T. Berry > ROOK, S. Hill > ROOK
Or comments on any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hurn has R10 bye…..he comes in R11 if plans go to plan.
That didn’t come out right….LOL. But I like it.
Kinky, Wighty, I like it.
Kinky???
This is a family site…lol
Hi all,
Seems like I’m on here every week asking help, but would love some tips.
DEF: Haynes, Daniels, Doc, Sicily, Ridley, Eggmolesse-smith (Williamson, McPherson)
MID: Neale, Oliver, Bont, Cripps, A.Brayshaw (Freo), Bailey Smith , Pickett, S.Simpson (Budarick, Rivers, Robertson)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Cameron)
FWD: Whitfield, D.Martin, D.Smith, C.Taylor, S.Hill (Freo),Rankine (Mahony, Aarts)
21 Trades left, $80,100 in the bank
Cheers
Hey, JJ.
Very sold MID and DEF lines, so you can honestly afford the luxury of getting rid of D. Smith. You could go:
Williamson -> McPherson
Hill -> Close
D. Smith -> Petracca
Hey GD,
The last 2 trades who have mentioned sound good, although if i was to trade Williamson i wouldn’t be able to get McPherson as I already have him on my bench, what other DEF downgrade would you recommend.
Cheers
Go Mckay JJ, nice team btw
Thanks, I’m sure you also have a nice team 🙂
Gday JJ, how about this:
Williamson -> Close via Rivers DPP;
Hill -> Simpkin via Brashaw DPP;
Taylor -> BJ Williams via Cameron DPP
Cashes in 3 that are ready to go, picks up a cheap cash cow with DPP, picks up Simpkin later than many but still at a lull in price & still leaves you about the same cash for next week.
BJ Williams not yet played but will at some point and can be switched via DPP to Def as a later option & doubles as a loophole. Pulls Cameron into a better line for fielding & trading.
I’d wait a week or 2 on Simpkin. 201 BE this week. Will drop a lot more in price over the next 2 weeks
Might wait a week on Taylor, Has a BE of 47 which he should definitely get since he’s playing against the crows. Thanks for the advice, will hopefully try and get Simpkin next week.
Cheers
Hey all, need a little bit of advice! I’m currently ranked around 2k, but I’m also playing for leagues.
I need 4 more upgrades + Dev Smith from my last 17 trades, however I currently don’t have Neale, Lloyd, Sicily or Haynes! Should I be aiming to bring them in, or try stay ahead in upgrades to make up for the lost points? Currently, I’m torn between trading Dev Smith and 2 rookies for:
TU – Zerrett, Saad and Close
TD – Neale, Close and Ling (150k leftover)
The idea behind Saad and Zerrett is that with their additional game in hand, it’ll make up some of the lost points of Lloyd/Haynes/Sicily and Neale for the run home (I’ll only have 1 spot in each respective line for Duncan and Stewart).
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated as I’m not sure if I’ve got the correct thinking!
This is probably your last chance to get Sicily or Lloyd, although Neale is indeed a must have. Hmm.
I think what should dictate your trades, Dunks, is which line has the poorest rookies. If you’re stuck with Starcevich, Wiliamsom, etc @ D5/6, then grab Sicily or Lloyd. If your MID rookies are hurting you and you’re solid down back, grab Neale.
I got Saad first….leave him alone!!!
Devon Smith
Tu; hold
Td; chop
Hold only because Bombers don’t have another bye
Who to field at D6:
TU: Eggmolesse-smith
TD: McPherson
Tu:
Taylor > Close
Williamson > Ridley
McInerney > Ling
(11k left in bank)
Td:
Taylor > Close
Williamson > Ridley
D.Smith > Ling
(143k left in bank)
Have both Yeo and Walters. Reckon I hold one given my team structure. So if I hold Sunny, I can loop Aarts/Mahony or trade one to Georgiades and still loop. Or its hold Yeo, trade one of Mahony (dpp) Simpson, Bennell to Close for cash, and have three loop options. Other trade will be Williamson/Mckay.
T/U Trade Yeo
T/D Trade Walters
Comment ?
Is Yeo a must trade out??
If I trade him out is Viney a good option or is there better options.
Yeo will only miss one week then byes than plays is West Coast for a lot of the season is it really necessary to trade?
Hi everyone I have 540k to spend on a mid.
Thumps up zerrett with no bye
Thumps down Mitch Duncan
Thoughts on the Bont
Appreciate it thanks
T/U: McPherson
T/D: B McKay
or…
T/U: Ling $80k
How long is stephen Hilll out for?
Hill is still listed as TBC on injury list? Not much help to you. If I hear anything I will post it.
Tu: Zerrett (&70k)
Td: Satan Oliver
TU Gaff
TD Zorko
Cheers
Who has better JS if any – waiting for rookie review page to come out ..
M Ling TU?
Toby Watson TD?
Hello SCT Community which one is the best option to get me a good score!
TU:B.Bewley,T.Brown,F.Mcasey > M.Ling,B.Close, T.Greene (leaves me around 89K)
TD:B.Bewley,T.Brown,F.Mcasey > M.Ling,B.Close, T.Miller (leaves me around 24K)
Comments other option!
Have BZT sitting on my bench using up 189k of my salary cap
Anyone think he’ll get a game anytime soon, especially with the crammed fixtures and essendon not having any byes
Otherwise may be useful to dowgrade him and keep my playing rookie defenders as injuries are killing me down back
Essendon fan, can’t see him coming back in unless there’s an injury to Francis. Hooker is 2 weeks away-ish so no job security if he did come in. Trade to mcpherson/ling etc.
Taylor – Close
Mcinerny – Adams
D.Smith – B.Smith
There is a case for holding Dev Smith thru the rd10&11 byes… but so tempting to upgrade him!
TU T. Kelly and only 11k in the bank
TD Bailey Smith and 128k in bank
I’d go t Kelly just because he would rise in price and before u know become ungettable, b Smith is still cheap and will only rise slightly if you can hold off
Would appreciate some advice please. I think my defence is the weakest line, and only $30k in the bank. With byes coming, what could be some trades to build a bank and maybe improve a line
* = R10 bye
Def: Maynard Docherty* Short Laird Starcevic Brander (Z-Thatcher Rivers)
Mid: Neale Macrae Danger Mitchell* Gaff* Cripps* B Smith Pickett (Simpson Budarick Robertson)
Ruc: Grundy Natainui* (Cameron)
Fwd: Petracca Whitfield Bewley* D Smith Taylor Rankine (S Hill* Cavarra)
Thanks coaches
Free to good home…..one sc trade if anyone can tell me how to stop google adds appearing on my phone.
Use AdGuard. Free in the App Store. Has a white tick in a green shield as the icon/logo.
Thinking….
D7 Rivers to D7 McPherson
(coverage for the byes)
R2 Pittonet to R2 Ryder
(Ryder will go to F6 next week when Goldy comes in for R2, Ryder used in future for swing between R2&F6 for injuries/byes)
F6 Budarick to F6 Georgiades.
(I’m not sold on Coles security, thou love his cheap price)
Thoughts?
Who to trade out?
T/U: Curtis Taylor
T/D: Max King
Thanks!
Yeo free to play!
Is he still worth trading out now? Or should he stay?
T/U: Trade
T/D: Hold
Yeah!!!
Now Sunny Walters….cramp only please.
800k in the bank, need help on trades. Coming 7th in cash league and have alot of non players/low scoring players. Who would you bring in? who would you turf?
Def: Lloyd, Ridley, Corr, Laird, Docherty, Hill, Brander, Zerk
Mids: cripps, macrae, neale ,simpkin, bennel, Simpson, rivers, Smith, budarick, green, Mitchell
Ruck: Grundy, Gawn, Cameron
Fwds: petracca, butler, king, Taylor,rankine, georgiades, arts and sturt
Thanks for any advice
Evening, Shorza. With that large a bank you can pull off a triple upgrade this week.
I’d recommend:
Hill -> Hurn/Stewart
Sturt -> Whitfield
Bennell -> Parker/Duncan/Merrett/any MID under 564k
That will give you a rookie-less backline, one less MID rookie and get rid of a dead rookie up FWD. Looking good.
Best of luck.
Thanks Gunboat
Trades sound really good, is hill out for extended period would swapping brander be a better trade?
No problem, Shorza.
No word on Hill. Plays on Sunday and with the day-before release of teamsheets now you’re probably better off trading him and having a stress free weekend lol.
Hmm…
Tu: Trade Dev Smith
Td: Trade Doedee
Comment for neither
Both
Have made trades (king to georgiades, mcinerny to close and pickett to brayshaw), 21K in bank
team is:
haynes, ridley, saad, day, b taylor, doch (mcpherson, gould)
cripps, neale, simpkin, brayshaw, viney, macrae, steele, titch (bennell, robertson,close)
gawn, grundy (cameron)
whitfield, d smith, petracca, greenwood, rankine, georgiades (aarts, vandemeer)
tu looks ok
td more work next week
T/U – J Steele
T/D – C Oliver
After going through my list and $$$….:D Smith gets a reprieve for at least 2 rounds. My biggest bleeder is Cripps.
Trades out….rivers, Cripps, Sturt
Trades in…Ling, J Kelly, Close
Hold cripps, trade dsmith before cripps any day of the week
Thinking of using all 3 trades on Rozee, just for good measure!
If I had to pick one last defender to complete my defense who should I get? (I’ll likely trade them in about 3-4 weeks time)
Currently have Lloyd, Sicily, Crisp, Docherty, Short (who I might trade towards the end of the season).
Ridley, Haynes, Hurn, Stewart, Saad? Any other suggestions ?
Hurn/Ridley for me
Ridley/Haynes, I personally think wait on Hurn as I’m not convinced (although many others will think otherwise). Wait for Stewart’s price to drop. Saad is a nice D6 who won’t have a bye.
1) Haynes
2) Ridley
3) Saad
Out
Bewley Rowell Taylor
In
Petracca bailey Smith close
Who to pick up thus week:
T/U – B Close plus 70k and lower JS
T/D – M Georgiades better JS
Thinking Georgiades due to Marshall and Motlop being out for an extended period of time from ports FWD
Hey lads, looking to downgrade King this week and bring in Neale. Would Georgiades be the best forward option, or one of the cheaper boys? Just like Sam i’ve got the question of Job Security?
Close?
TU: Stewart & Duncan?
Or
TD: Merrett & Saad?
Doedee, Dev Smith, cripps
To Lloyd, Close, Oliver
6 rookies still on field (2 in each position)
Worth trading Cripps as he’s bleeding cash every week?
Tu: Do it
Td: nah hold crippa
Also guys can you comment how many rookies you still have onfield. Just curious
five or six on field for me this week, depending on trades.
2 mid, 1-2 fwd, 1 def. 2 at each position is a great because you’ll rotate them out over the byes
Probably not the place to post it, but I fear hawks might throw sicily fwd this week. He finished there last game and hawks are awful fwd.
They just needed some marking presence for a chance at a late goal, Wighty.
Sicily played WAAAAY too well down back to be swung permanently forward. With O’Brien, Ceglar, Breust and Impey all to potential replenish the Hawks FWD stocks, I’d say he’s safe down back.
Speaking of, do you reckon I’ve missed the boat on him for this season price-wise? I was thinking of spending that extra money on him this week before his price rises again, but at the same time I don’t want to blow my bank on him given he can spit out the odd poor score and I could get jake lloyd for same $$. Sic did look very dangerous on the weekend with disposal efficiency though!
Wait for another price dip. He has his bye coming up next week so it’s mad to spend up on him now, and his scores fluctuate so you will get him cheaper if you can hold on.
Thanks for making me feel better about it, starting to get a bit of FOMO looking at some of the top teams
Follow up question: What D6 would you go for out of Saad, Short and Hurn for this week?
Hurn the pick of the bunch this week, then Stewart will bottom out the following round and a returning Zwilliams to do the same.
Cheers guys, a lot of good advice. Much for me to ponder. All the best for this week!
Saad…averaging 100+, never misses, high floor, had his bye.
Saad for me Fos
Sound advice but he would need two poor scores in a row for his price to drop substantially. I’d get him after his bye.
Hey, FOS.
Sorry for the delayed response.
Yeah, Sicily and Lloyd are basically must haves down back and this is probably the last week before you’ll be paying too much – wouldn’t pay more than 600k for anyone this year.
Hi all,
Would love some trade advice, looking at bringing duncan/zerrett in (Bank – $108.3K)
DEF – Haynes, Ridley, Docherty, Laird, Doedee, Noble (Starcevich & Brander)
MID – Neale, Macrae, Coniglio, Whitfield, Simpkin, Cripps, Pickett, Simpson (Budarick, Bennell, Rivers)
RUCK – Gawn, Grundy
FWD – Petracca, Dusty, Baz Smith, Dev Smith, Taylor, Rankine (Cameron, Georgiades)
Cheers!
Yep. Sounds good, Tom.
I’ve been thinking about jumping on Gaff or Zerrett this week but my defense has been giving me restless nights for a few weeks with a shaky D6 (was Starc, now Noble) and no bench coverage (Brander & BJ Williams). I have enough coverage that I should be able to field 18 in the byes without worrying about trades either.
Thinking this is the move for me and would leave my D1 to D6 as (Lloyd, Sicily, Haynes, Doc, Ridley, Laird)
Out: Dev Smith, Noble, Brander
In: Jake Lloyd, McKay, and B. Close.
Leaving $40k in the bank. Could also do McPherson instead of McKay. Ling & Watson options too depending on lineups.
T/U McKay $40k in the bank
T/D Mcpherson $20k in the bank
Yep, Emile.
I’m finishing my DEF line first. Rookies are just so volatile both in terms of JS and scoring.
Bring Lloyd in.
Cheers GD!
4 onfield
2 defence
1 mid
1 fwd
What to do with Simpkin about to lose 52 k had an ordinary couple of weeks
Looking to trade him to Zerret Cogs or maybe Duncan
TU. Keep him he’ll come good
TD Trade time to go
Thinking of moving Starcevich on for McPherson..
TU: Js and price rises will be worth it
TD: Ship has sailed pick up Toby Watson and bank some cash
These playing times with B Smith playing tonight, and Walters not till Sunday is a real pain. If Walters is out, its an easy decision but it might be days before we know, and too late to trade him.
Any goss on how Walters is looking…some talk it was just a cramp ?
You wouldn’t trade him unless you have to. But even if is named on Saturday, there would still be a chance he could be a late out in the last match of the round.
So, plan B, keep 1 trade up your sleeve. If Walters is a late out and you don’t have a half decent E score already on your bench, then you could trade Walters to Brayshaw
But I reckon good chance he will be out. You don’t “sweat on Scans” for a cramp. So, plan A, trade or hope for a decent E score on the bench
My gut feel is to trade him even if named because he has the bye next round. Question is whether to Petracca who has had the bye, or B Smith and bank some coin.
Petracca has the higher ceiling but Smith’s value is very hard to ignore and should score well against the tigers. I’m a tigers fan but opposition mids generally score well against us. Then an extra $140k for another upgrade next week
At this stage after getting Danger and Cognilio via 2 rookies last week, gone McKay, Mcrae and Close in for Gould, McInerney and W.Kelly. question is
TU stick with what I’ve done or
TD-ignore BE’s try and get Mcrae and another gun via more expensive “rookies” ie Pickett, Serong, Bennell etc
Is Gould a chance of getting a game this week or next?
Mills is injured from what I saw, so im hoping so.
Is Tom Green worth keeping in case he plays as a bench option or is his BE of 48 to dangerous.
T/U – Keep him he will be useful.
T/D – The down grade for cash is too important.
TU – Dev Smith, Brander, McInerney out for Close, Watson/Ling, Viney and bank 110k
TD – Brander, Budarick, McInerney out for Close, 102k non player, Viney
T/up – Brander –> Bailey Smith
T/down – Devon Smith –> Greeenwood
Comment – Starcevich –> Ridley
Who has the best job security?
Tu- McKay-Nth
Td- McPherson- ADE.
This is what I’ve been trying to figure out too.
McKay starts on field but the Roos injury list is long and two fairly key defenders for them are nearly fit to play so I dont know if he holds his spot. Can any Roos supporters shed some more light?
McPherson starts on the bench but there aren’t any big players coming back who might take his spot. Its whether they wanna give some more of their rookies a chance to play and McPherson might make way for them.
I’d say McPherson’s JS is probably slightly better.
Daw is back this week for the Roos.
Does that mean McKay is likely to be dropped?
Don’t know but I wouldn’t be bringing him in until teams drop for that game which won’t be until Friday night.
Pivoting my upgrade target, instead of Gaff I’m going:
McInerney > Zerrett
Gaff will still be affordable coming off his bye before Rd 11.
Been planning on bringing Zerrett in with no bye coming but I don’t have either Whitfield or Parker and only have one other swan/giant in my team so can stomach the bye pretty easily.
TU: Whitfield
TD: Parker
Comment: Stick with Zerrett
TU: Zerrett
Has anyone heard Simpson from Geelong being rested for Steven who is due to come in? Reports in afl.com.au – this would change things quite a bit if this is the case.
Yeah i read it too. If he is rested it should only be for a week… fingers crossed it’s this week, not next
Trouble is, talk is that Bennel would be rested too, and I have both!!
Who to put in D6?
TU Noble
TD Tobe Watson
Although he wasn’t bad, i’d be waiting on the teams to see if watson even holds his spot. Freo have no backline left and he was a late in, any returning players would mean he could be straight back out.
Looking to bring in a Melbourne premium because they have no byes coming up and seems to be doing a lot better than any Essendon players
TU- Petracca
TD- Oliver
Both options would deplete my bank pretty bad however.
hey guys,
made 2 trades already
C.taylor to close and butler to toby greene
not sure if doedee is playing but he has a big BE and if he does play dont think he will be 100%
have 70 k in the bank and have a few opyions i was thinking
doedee to H.clark,hurn,jayden short and tom sterwart>
Let me know what you guys think
Trading in Close for…..
TU: Budarick
TD: King
Think DPP flexibility……..
TU – Hill ->Ling
TD – Hill ->McPherson
McPherson will have better js but ling is a lot more cheaper and will make me more money
I’d go Mckay instead of them both. That’s just my opinion. 🙂
Ok thanks
Majak Daw has been announced as playing this week.
Will he replace McKay? If not then who?
TU McKay will play
TD he will make way for Majak
Tu – Viney and have 110k
TD – Oliver and have 40k
Comment anyone else
Matt Tabernar
TU – Ling
TD – Watson
Who has better JS
King, Taylor out for Close, Bell (or E Taylor)
then 3rd trade
TU: Devon Smith > Steele (cant afford Neale)
TD: Brander/McInerney to C Daniel (or any other def,fwd,mid under 550k). Effectively gets me another rookie as bench cover, but premo picked is not as premo as e.g Steele
After many different theories.
Last ice breaker.
Tu: Hurn (and have a donut in defence next week – but his bye out the way)
Td: Stewart
6 rookies on field
420k in the bank
TU: Go for close and ling and have 600k for next week
TD: Close and premo defender
Who should I bring in
TU: Neale and be completely broke and wont be able to upgrade next week for duncan or stewart
TD: Oliver and have 90k for upgrades next week
Trades im thinking
King – Close
Rivers – Ling/Watson
Starcevich – Ridley
Good or think again?
Cheers
Thanks for previous advice so building a bank, this week choices are:
TU Hill Taylor Brander to -> McPherson Close Ling (Ling on bench) leaves $350k in bank for R10 bye/resting carnage
TD Hill Taylor Brander to -> McPherson Georgiadis Close (Close on bench) leaves $297k in bank
Thanks

Thinking about going the triple downgrade this week:

In: McPherson, Close, Georgiades.
360K in the bank to work with next week. Is it too many downgrades?
Def-lloyd,haynes,ridley,doc,doedee and s.hill (rivers and gould)

Thinking of getting rid of butler,doedee and S.hill but let me know who i should trade and who to get
Thanks:)
This week my trades are going to be Ceglar to Close, Wingard to Mcrae and Cripps to someone who is 602,000 mid or forward who should i do?
Does anyone like thes
Good trades or not –
Out – Simpkin, Smith and Taylor
In – Cameron, Hurn & Macrae
Yes I know Hurn has an upcoming bye but when you have been fielding Starcevich each week …. need I say more.
I am happy to have a second look at Close and pay $150K after 2 games.
I’ve brought in Hurn this week. I traded out Williamson though, who also has the bye next week…so I figured it half cancels the other out. Not overly concerned. Every team will be having a bye.
With best 18 rules applying, it changes the dynamics.
T/U Macrae
T/D Oliver
Macrae cause he gives you another captaincy option.
He’s coming into my side this week
I don’t have either Neale or Gawn and looking to bring one of them in this week.
TU: D Smith to Neale
TD: Nic Nat to Gawn
Comment: Nic Nat to Gawn and P Cripps to Neale
TU: The madness of P Cripps and Nic Nat to Gawn and Neale
Seems like a lot of punters ignoring SC rule 103 re sideways trading guns. Obviously he will go bang and 150+ so I will keep him.
Who’s the better cheap defender? Mainly in terms of job security, they won’t see my field so scoring isn’t a huge factor.
TU: Ling
TD: Watson
My biggest problem is Walters. Will he play or not ?? With teams not coming out till the day before, we may not know till Saturday. With a bye r10 if he’s not selected, he goes in normal circumstances. My original plan was to go to Petracca but I come up $7k short with downgrades I want to do, so I’m thinking D Smith instead, bank some cash, but have to do that tonight. Other option is hold till Saturday, and even then, he could be a late out Sunday in which case I have Mahony or Arts as cover….no B Smith there !!
I need some help…I can’t ring my psychiatrist again today !!!
Walters has been ruled out on the Freo website.
Hill will also miss this week.
Both expected back after the bye, although Freo have been very suss on the injury front this year.
Not sure how likely these 2 are to get another game soon, so
Who to Trade Out?
TU Brander
TD Rivers
Thanks
Hello Coaches,
I’m torn between trying to get Ridley in or focussing on bench cover. $106k in the bank, any assistance would be appreciated.
Lloyd, Daniel, Doc, Doedee, Mckay, McPherson – Hill, Butler
Neale, Mcrae, Oliver, Mitchell, Cripps, Simpkin, Pickett, Bennell – Budarick, Mahoney, Rivers
Gawn, Grundy – Comden
Whitfield, Martin, B Smith, D Smith, King, Rankine – Taylor, Davis
Thanks Coaches!
Oh, yeah, Trev. Get Ridley in. All your other lines look solid, DEF the most precarious.
Thanks GD, always good to get another opinion.
Is Dustin Martin worth getting in for Devon Smith at his price or will he keep trying every fourth game as well?
I hope you went with your gut Disco??
I have Nobel and Hill as my D5 and D6 with Brander and BZT on the pine. Sufficed to say this needs addressing.
Can anyone shed some light on Ling, Watson and Nobels JS this week?
I really want to get in one of McRae or Petracca and get T. Stewart next week.
TU
Hill to McPherson
Nobel to Ling
Dev to Petracca
TD
Hill to T.Stewart
Nobel to McPherson
Brander to Cloe
2 down grades, 1 upgrade this week..
TU: Pittonet to Marshall
TD: Find Another upgrade target (672k in the bank after downgrades)
Don’t knee jerk on Marshall please
TU: Close
TD: Georgiades
Vote please,
Tu Ollie
Td Zerrett
I loopholed Aart’s score, who do I take his score for
TU: Taylor
TD: Georgiades
Macca’s time!!
TU: McPherson
TD: McKay
A bit light on rookies with good JS this week so doing McInerny to Close only.
TU: Good idea, save trades and make a bit of cash.
TD: Stupid idea, trades are there to be spent even if you don’t significantly improve your team.
Walters ruled out and Simpkin bleeding money and probably cops the Keays tag..
Tu: Simpkin/ Walters > Trelor/Greenwood
Td: Hold Simpkin/ Trade Walters to Dusty next rnd
Hold Simpkin and trade Walters this round.
You dont think he’ll cop the Keays tag? If he does I could save over 75k in the next 2 weeks by trading him back when his break even goes back to normal
T/U – Dev Smith, Brander & Starc to Draper, Close & Lloyd. Finishes by back 6 and moves McPherson to D7. Cameron on field at F6 though
T/D – Dev Smith, Brander & T.Brown to Close, Oliver & T.Watson
What about these trades?
Walters – Petracca
King – Close
Starcevich – Hurn
Thanks
I’d hold starcevic for another week (he should get his be and hover at the same price) then wait for stewart to bottom out next week and get him instead.
TU: Parker + $60k
TD: Oliver
Don’t like the look of Parker’s upcoming fixture. Also get an extra game out of Satan.
Was initially going to trade williamson out, but reckon the more warm bodies we have this year the better. He seems to have a job each week, albeit one that doesn’t promote scoring. So Rivers goes instead but to who ?? Was originally thinking Day, but he has the same R10 bye as Williamson.
McPherson looks to have good JS and has a low be. McKay a little cheaper but I dont think his JS is that good.
T/U McPherson
T/D McKAy
TU: Dev Smith directly into Oliver
TD: Dev Smith and Sam Simpson out for Neale and Draper (debuting this week) via dpp
Neale would mean i will need to start an extra rookie on the field. Will his points/captaincy potential be enough to make up for it?
With Waterman taking Branders spot is it time to trade him out
TU: Trade Brander
TD: Hold Brander
I’m personally keeping Brander to loophole my rookies each week. But if you need the cash, get rid of him.
Who to trade in?
Tom Stewart
Or
Hurn
Cheers
I’ve gone Tommy.
Proven consistent scorer, Hurn has the bye next week and don’t trust him to not get rested during the cramming of games.
Can’t really go wrong either way, depends mainly on your cover in defence for the bye next week.
TU: Trade Dev Smith to Petracca
TD: Trade Walters to Petracca
Walters out then a bye, while Dev Smith is bad for my heath.
Cover is not an issue in the forward line.
Playing devils advocate here…I can see the sense in trading out Walters. I almost did.
The reason I’ve kept him is ONLY because of the additional trades we’ve been afforded. I’ve also got cover on my FWD LINE. I figured I’ll keep him for the two weeks (bye included), he won’t drop in price. I can use my trades this and next week to sort my other lines. If Walters is still out in R11, then he’s gone. I’m only missing one ‘live’ week of scores from him, this week.
Haha. After writing that, I’m actually thinking that I’m just convincing myself I’ve made the right move!!!!
You’re missing out on two or more weeks worth of a premium score tho. I assume you’ll have a rookie as cover for him? Means you’ll lose a minimum of 100 points over the next 2 weeks if you dont trade him to another premium
@Hazza….no need to rub salt into the wound! Haha.
My logic (however misguided it may be) is that he’s got the bye anyway. Yes I’ve got cover. So no donut.
I figured I’ll hold Walters to avoid a sideways. I used 2 trades this week to sure up my backline.
If Walters is still out in R11, then he’s out. I’ve missed 1 one week of his score, I don’t count the bye because he would’ve been non scoring anyway.
To further reinforce (to myself) that the decision makes sense, is that Walters will finish top 10 FWD by seasons end.
Thanks for the food for thought.
I agree with the only ‘one week of live scores’ missed, given no other forward options have had their bye already (and I wouldn’t be double-upgrading this week).
I think my hatred for Dev Smith might overrule any logic!
@sammys….logic??? It’s season Covid. What logic?
I’m really enjoying the Game of a Thrones trade in trade outs. Survival of the fittest.
At the end of the day, it’s a game. Enjoy it!!! (Shite, I should’ve traded Walters).
Yeah, if anything the extra trades justify flicking him.
@Gunboat, that’s a pretty broad assessment. The extra trades have afforded me to upgrade my backline and bench cover.
For the person posting C picks each week, I would’ve thought a little more scope would be warranted.
Are you unfamiliar with the nuance that the phrase “if anything” carries, Grasshopper?
I was responding to Sammy’s dilemma of off-loading one of Walters or Smith. Walters will be back in a fortnight and be Top 6, whereas Dev Smith is being outscored by FWD rookies – don’t think I was being too sweeping to suggest extra trades might make sideways trading more palatable.
GD, apologies. I wasn’t trying to have a dig.
‘Tongue in cheek’ is hard to read on here and that’s what I was affording.
Semantics indeed.
Do I play Georgiades or do I play Taylor which one??
TU:Georgiades
TD:Taylor
Georgiadas
Hey everyone!
Time to get Petracca in this week. Walters being out, makes the trade decision a little easier. Rivers doesn’t look like he’s getting a game anytime soon, so dumping him for McPherson who looks really settled in Adelaide’s backline.
Dev Smith’s BE being high is worrying me, but I almost prefer him on field to Taylor at the moment…
TU: Walters, Rivers, Taylor > Petracca, Close, McPherson
TD: Walters, Rivers, Dev Smith > Petracca, Close, McPherson
Keen for your thoughts!
TU Merret – No bye but has De Boer coming up and less reliable
TD Parker – More reliable but Steele, De Boer and bye coming up
Comment wait a week for Duncan to bottom out
TU for Duncan next week
Was initially going to trade williamson out, but reckon the more warm bodies we have this year the better. He seems to have a job each week, albeit one that doesn’t promote scoring. So Rivers goes instead but to who ?? Was originally thinking Day, but he has the same R10 bye as Williamson.

T/U McPherson
T/D McKAy
T/U – Neale
T/D – Petracca +$100k
My midfield rookies are more of a concern the FWDs, but I can play Tracca in the middle for now
T/U – Draper (move Xerri FWD to loop Aarts)
T/D – Georgiades. Get Draper next week
Hey all
TU D Smith +S Hill > Oliver and Mcpherson and 67k in the bank
TD D Smith + S Hill > Neale and Mckay – nothing left in the bank
Just wondering about this community…
Have so far gone Brander – Close via DPP and Bewley – Baz Smith.
Well a few things have to fall my way first, but basically this move (and third trade) would finish my defense, I would get Aarts score (I’ll wait to hear if O’Connor is playing or not first just to be safe haha) by going Dev Smith – Stewart. I also am still holding the trade as I watch to see if Doedee gets up or not for this week.
Is it worth it the trade for the points gain this week? Or do I persist with Dev for one more week, wait for Stewart to drop more in cash due to his huge BE, and ultimately save the trade for injury/emergency reasons?
T/U – Like the idea, go for it
T/D – Hold the trade, keep Dev Smith and wait for Stewart to lose more in value to pick up for much cheaper next week
If you’re just gonna trade Dev Smith next week for Stewart, I’d do the trade this round. But if the drop in Stewart’s price means you can move on a rookie next round, 100% do that instead
I like it, Cliffy. Go ahead.
Doing some trades:
1 (TU)) Starc, Taylor, Smith to Merrett, Parker (can also get Duncan or even Trac + Merrett together if i trade noble instead of starc), Close
v
2 (TD) Starc, Taylor to Neale and Close.
Both trades end up with similar money in the bank.
What does everyone think?
Who do I run with
TU:Simpson
TD:Close
