Mills, Laird, Hopper & Steele all injured.
Time to delete the app?
And ldu hammy
Laird and Steele are fine
Phrase of the Day:
IN THE BOWFARTS (Scots) – in a difficult position or unable to free oneself
TU: Gawn
TD: Rozee
Ranked strongly but in a horrendous position with cash gen.. might have to hold up on the upgrade cadence and let a couple of good rookies fatten up really get every last cent out of them. I Had plans to move on ginbey, jvr and ashcroft but all have had strong outings this week so should keep the cash ticking. Got dead rookies like roberts, Johnson madden and Constable doing nothing. Davey is dead to me as well.
What a f***ed year of supercoach.
Hopper and Chandler out, Me thinks, none of the guns* I don’t have set the world a light ( Steele, Brayshaw,green) I have ok bench cover in mids. None on any other lines. Is it worth waiting a week to see if gawn and Sam Walsh get the forward status?
I’ll be grabbing Matt Kennedy (CARL). Had some continuity issues early, was best on as the sub and then had a full MID game this week. Role and impact were good.
Not ideal but with only 2x live bench rookies in Drury and Mitchell going Hopper -> Kennedy will net 100k.
Did 96.7 last year. It’s a bit of a punt and not kidding myself about what he can do, but it’ll work for my rabble of a side.
As a blues fan, i really rate him , don’t know why he was dropped earlier in season but not sure he worth the gamble, if voss drops some one he normally drops them again( for honey don’t get me started ), I don’t have the balls to back him in, but will be a massive pod and I wish you success .
The fact he was dropped, played off HB and Ed Curnow of all people was favoured over him, is something I still can’t wrap my head around.
7 TDs only making me want to do it more lol!
Look, it’s not a guarantee but don’t have the scratch to take Hopper UP – hence the thinking around Kennedy.
I’m thinking of going Hooper to Redman in one trade.
Bombers with a great run coming up. High ceiling but very low floor. Hoping he can iron out some of those lower games and get on a roll.
Basically nets me another “Keeper” without having to do a dodgy downgrade.
Rookies on field then would be Ashcroft / S Ryan and one of Cincotta or Hollands.
I’ve had a re think.
I need Oliver. The plan was always to turn Hooper into Clarry.
The time is now. Welcome Satan.
I actually just come here to suggest matt Kennedy myself but you’ve beaten me to it GD. I watched the blues dogs game Saturday night and he really caught my attention so looked at his scores and price and got me thinking! It’s definitely an option for me this week. I need to start making some big moves to push further into the top 1k and my cash gen is cooked.
Great minds, Mav. Great minds.
He’s my real value balls out sort of play. My other option is JDG again could just as easily derail your season but provides value for what he can produce.. nice run of games at the MCG to.
Got a few big decisions ahead this week and some digging for value.
Yeah, bro. Need to cheaply replace Hopper with an ostensible keeper and deal with other shit.
A few ideas to consider, although they are risks.
Sheed WCE – lowest 87 and will have the role if fit.
Rivers MEL – lowest of 69 and has played every game consistently scoring
Very crazy, but might come off.
$ 229,600 in the bank 17 trades
DE: Dawson,diacos,Stewart,Sinclair,Day,Wilmot (waddle, cowen)
MID: Bondi, Oliver, green, gulden, conigilo,hopper,ashcroft,baker
(Constable,cincciota,mat jhonson)
Ruck: English, Marshall (madden)
FO: Taronto , dunkley, rozee,shezel,chandler,S mitchell
( M.Roberts, Davey)
Hopper injuried and chandlers break even is high any suggestions how can I improve my team?
Guy you could do this.
Hopper and Chandler out.
Shift Gulden to the FWD.
Merrett & Sharp in.
Can also go Baker to Drury if you want to take a punt on him to generate cash. Swap Drury to the bench & Cincotta onfield.
Yep Mav – I’m thing JDG too. What a year in SC!
Is this the JDG trade-in gathering?
We might need a weekly meeting to vent if we all go him lol.
I’m onboard GD he’s a 90-95 average midfielder as a Carlton supporter he’s back in the guts and looking great after his injury management.
I have no cash on the bench Chandler to him is a no brainer.
Chandler to Kennedy via DPP is exactly the move I am looking at.
I just hope Voss and the selectors give him a decent go and play him in the guts. He is good enough to be a 90-95 average M8/M9.
22 trades $45k in bank 3 trade boosts
DEF – Dawson Daicos Stewart
Ziebell Wilmot cincotta
(Atkins, cowan)
MID – Bont, Trac, Oliver, Laird
Green Hopper Ashcroft Baker
(Johnson, constable , Chesser)
RUCK – English Marshall (Madeen)
FOR – Dunkley Taranto Rozee
Gulden Sheezel Mitchell
( roberts , Davey)
Little lost what to do, happy with amount of trades left but no much cover. Trac was good on debut. Any thoughts or suggestions?
I’m in a similar situation with regard to Hopper having to be traded out but no decent rookies to trade in.
Im looking at Kennedy from Carlton but still undecided.
I would be trading Cowan, Wilmot, Baker and getting either Docherty or Sicily, Kennedy and a rookie.
Best premium mids to bring in this week?
Can’t be anyone from the last bye.
The MIDs are legit so shitty.
Bont, Dawson and Satan the obvious top tier.
In the next bracket I’d have Libba, Racca, Serong, Merrett and even Anderson.
Of those, Zerrett the cheapest and has the best fixture. Libba fantastic but you’ve said you can’t do last bye. Anderson a bit of a points chaser pick but has a fantastic bye and also solid. Really any of them, Olie.
Green also a great buy if you don’t already have him.
Just DON’T go Neale, Cripps, Brayshaw, Mills, Steele or Baird.
Any love for Bailey Humphrey & Harry sharp this week as downgrade options?
Humphrey has JS I would think & starting to look confident at the level.
Any Brisbane supporters got a feel for sharps JS, playing a wing is a risky selection as can have quite games but he work hard up & back
I like the Humphrey call, Hynsi.
JS, makes 50k with another 50 and plays through byes.
Sharp and Berry on the bubble but have dicey JS. Lot of like types and returning 22 players who can chop them out.
You’ve got me onto Humphrey, I think.
Cincotta, Mckenna > Sheather, D Cameron.
Dependent on whether Cincotta is dropped and Cameron is selected. I only have $123,100 to play with for the rookie and there are no decent options under this price that are actually getting a game.
Sheater would be my D8 so never on the field hopefully.
Who’s best bubble boy this week? Have a feeling Drury might get dropped after a 17.
T/U – Harry Sharp
T/D – Tom Berry
North have a heap of injuries so he might hold but doesn’t look good long term.
Have you had a look at Gould?
You mean just for this year or the last 3 years?
Downgrade options
T/U – Sharp (LIONS)
T/D – Berry (SUNS)
Holman might replace Berry next week. Berry has done well though so maybe both get a run.
Do I need to trade Hopper and LDU this week?
Can anyone tell me extent of injuries? I have Laird and Steele too……
CT will update but the latest word and whispers are:
Hopper: will miss weeks
LDU: no certainty to play next week
Baird & Steele: precautionary, will play next week
I agree with your assessment GD, except LDU might be more in the doubtful category.
After all their scans I will update ASAP in Coaches box.
Beveridge why dont you just put Macrae in the CB.
What to do with Macrae
TU: Trade him
TD: Hold
I’d sideways trade him at the R15 bye if nothing has changed by then.
Exactly what Ill be doing
0.1% off dpp i’d be holding
The only question Nateo is with this current role is he top 6 fwd?
TU Merret +51k
TU serong +7.9k
Starting to have little cash gen rookies coming through at the moment, am leaning towards merret as my midfield contains – Bont, Trac, Oliver, Walsh & laird
I’m starting to like the idea of Merrett
Can someone explain the love for Merrett to me?
Averages 11 less, with as many scores under 100 as above, also only gone 120+ once.
Whereas Serong only sub 100 first game, with 4 scores 120+
It’s a bit multi-faceted:
– Upcoming schedule – Richmond, West Coast and North in the next 3 weeks; plays West Coast and North twice and during Supercoach finals
– Parish out for at least 1-2 more weeks means one less prolific mid to take away scoring
– Strong finish to last season, especially post-bye
– Definitely on the low end of his price cycle although still sitting at a 120BE so he isn’t essential this week
– Check your bye structure too – for me, Serong works better bye-wise but I’m increasingly talking myself into getting both this week although I’ll be saying goodbye to Hollands and Baker to do so
TU or TD?
McKenna to Sheather
LDU to Merrett
Hopper to Rowell
Not Sheather but, yeah, those moves are solid.
DOM SHEED
McKenna, Buckley > Humphrey, Stewart
Leaves me only $900 but with Day at D6 backline is done
TU: Yes do it
TD: Not worth it
Rounding to nearest 5 and taking out Stewart’s 18:
Buckley (85) -> Stewart (120) = +35
Are there any other trades you can do that will net more points? Eg. an M8 doing 60 to a 115 MID is obviously preferable.
If not, then roll with Buckley to Stew np.
Thanks GD solid advice!
Can’t really get a 115avg mid unless i use my last boost to boot Davey > Sharp. Then i have $639.6k if i want to upgrade Ashcroft.
Do want Davey out but not sure going to Shape is worth the trade / boost
TU: B Smith
TD: Doch
want pods, last year smith started slow and got going 2nd half
however my rd 15 bye is an issue that can be sorted later
Nah, Bill. That ain’t it. “Want pods” is no way to select premos. Unless they’re actually competing with like priced options then they’re ownership differential and you’re just punishing yourself.
The following all ahead of Smith & Doch:
Daicos, Dawson, Ryan, Ziebell, Sicily, Stewart, Sinclair and Saad. Even a case for Redman at his price.
If you really rate Doch & Smith at Top 6 competitive picks, then go for it but the POD aspect is irrelevant – especially if a more basic, popular pick that everyone but you owns starts putting them on blast.
To Doch and Smith, Doch really needs to settle into a role before being considered. All over the place and really taking a lot for him to ton rn. Smith, for mine, a no. Still averaging 83 even after the weekend’s large one – sorta past it for SC.
Best of luck.
Thanks for the feedback, i think smith could finish as a top 6 fwd tho thats all
Sorry, thought you were talking about Brodie Smith and defenders.
Bailey Smith, with FWD status, is a good pick. Yeah.
TU: Walsh
TD: Serong
TU: DeGoey/Tom Mitchell+Humphrey
TD: Gulden+Sharp/<160k rookie
Any thoughts on Ollie Wines??
I think Ollie has been on the Wines this year.
Changing of the guard. Butters and Rozee have his role which is a large reason why Port are going better IMO. Faster ball movement is what its all about nowadays.
If he can average 90-100 he could be a viable m8 for those cash strapped among us like me who have LDU, Hopper etc
Current team with 200k for upgrades
Def: Dawson, Stuart, Ziebell, Daicos, Day, Sheezel (T young, Weddle)
Feeling good
Mids: Bont, Clarry, Anderson, Holmes, wood, Ashcroft, Wilmont, Cincotta, (Johnson, chesser, Dury)
Not great
Ruck : RoMo, English, madden
Forwards: toranto, Dunkley, Gulden, Rozee, Cogs, Chandler: ( Smitchell, Davey)
Pretty good.
Was hoping to boost and double upgrade this week but that’s not looking likely.
Chandler to Darcy Cameron is trade 1.
Was thinking about trading Ashcroft but thinking against it right now given his occasional big score, and not enough cash to get someone good.
Anyone got any thoughts?
Ideally looking for a player on the round 14 bye as 2nd upgrade
Need a premo ruckman.
tu – Darcy
td – Witts
TU: michalanney > sharp to get hopper>ryan into my backline finishing it, making my Defence = Dawson, Ziebell, daicos, Sinclair, day, RYAN (Atkins, weddle)
TD: michalanney> sharp, hopper> serong. Making my midfield = Oliver, Anderson, setterfield, serong, laird, Ashcroft, mcvee, cincotta (baker, roberts, constable)
My midfield is extremely weak but my defence and fwd line have one rookie on each line. Is it worth bolstering my midfield instead of finishing my defence?
Priority Trade Out?
TU: Chandler
TD: Cripps
Is there any world where we can hold Hopper if it’s just the one week? Alot of people were talking about him finishing M8 or our very last upgrade before his injury or is this the time to grab an Oliver or petracca?
Tu- hold
Tu- trade
If it’s one week, I’m holding. Affordable mid options for me aren’t great and trades are getting more and more precious. Would prefer to upgrade a rookie if possible
I think I agree Joe.
Has the R15 bye so would be happy to flip him at his bye.
But don’t want to hold and the 1 week calf all of a sudden turn into 2-3.
The problem with holding Hopper is that 43 means he will most likely bleed money. We got him as a stepping stone, so better to trade him while the cashes still there. He could be back at $350k by his bye if you keep him.
The AFL website are reporting Hopper will miss “weeks” with a medium calf strain.
It’s a dead set trade for me.
Hopper/McKenna > Rowell/Humphrey ??
Improves R15 bye structure too
Any word on Macrae getting fwd status? What is the update on his mid/fwd %? Thinking trade this week unless he’s on track.
Very very close just 0.1% in it as of round 9, depends on next rounds?
Too close to call.
Tu- gulden, berry
Td- d.Cameron, Humphrey
Before I do my digging, what’s everyone think.
Tu) Warner
Td) De Goey
How long is mills out for?
How’s your buy structure?
Is the extra 20k for the stable scoring of Titch worth it?
Other then $h¡t scores from a lot of Premo’s and CD shenanigans I managed to avoid the injuries this weekend other then Hopper so pretty simple for me this week.
Hopper & McKenna to Stewart and Sharp leaves me over $100k to assist with another upgrade next week and completes my backline with Haynes at D6 for the time being.
Anyone keen on Aaron Francis?
Has good JS, good Bye & once settled I think he can score OK
What are people’s thoughts on Darcy Cameron if he gets selected?
Wait a week. Low BE but want to see how they use/ease him back into the team with Cox and coming back from his injury
A sub 500k premo who’s also ruck cover. I’m jumping on straight away
I wrote him up in Rare Gems this week fella’s certainly one to consider.
TU: Hopper and Baker > Serong/walsh and T.Berry
TD: Hopper and davey jnr > Dcam and T.Berry
TU – Cerong
TD – Dawson
Current structure of my team with premos
6 in defence
4 in midfield
2 in ruck
6 in forward
Is it still worth it to trade hopper to Dcam knowing after the byes one of the forwards will have to take up a midfield spot
TU: yes DCam can be that ruck/fwd swing
TD: No work on filling the midfield instead
Sorry I missed the game Friday. How long is hopper out for?
It’s a calf issue, which would normally be 2-3 weeks.
Will need to wait for the injury update to be sure.
First trade done davey to sharp
Next is one of the below to Oliver and I Don’t mind holding Hopper for his 1 week if hes the better long term player at M8.
Trade
TU . Hopper
TD . Ashcroft
Can someone remind me – do we still get the ability to use 3 trades by default during the bye rounds, or is it all based around trade boosts only now??
You get 3 trades during the bye rounds, 4 if you use a boost.
Oh thank god I was hesitant to burn my last boost, thanks for the reminder.
Hopper > M Kennedy
Baker > Sharp
Davey > D Cameron via Sheezel DPP
I think the GD Kennedy move is a risk worth taking. It’s either that or I rely on my bench to carry in Hopper’s absence.
Was thinking of doing that exact move mate
Any love for Fyfe yet?
Cant see him being the sub for much longer.
Seems to be attending plenty of stoppages.
F6 anyone.
Given his big BE, I think we can see how he goes next 2 weeks. He then has the bye R12, so we can bring him in R13. We have 3 weeks of best 18, so having him onfield for those 3 weeks feels like a risk free gamble. If we can upgrade around him, then keep him as F7/M9. If we need his cash, we can downgrade him to a rookie and put the money towards a premo. Feels like he will be a bit of a free swing.
Yep. Well said, Phil.
T/U: Upgrade S. Ryan to Ziebel (Go early on Ryan)
T/D: Baker to Sicily
Cheers everyone!
Uut – Hopper, Chandler and one of Ashcroft/caminiti
TU – Gulden, Walsh, H.Sharp
TD – Gulden, D.Cameron, Dochety
second option can only be done with Ashcroft out.
also not sold on Doc, and D.Cam, with his first game back and how well cox did. could D.Cam play more forward.
Is caleb serong a top 8 mid
Been running S.Ryan at R2 with Marshall, is English still a genuine must have or can Darcy / Witts – thinking Darcy though match him for the rest of the season?
TU – English a must have – wait for him to bottom out
TD – Darcy can match him for remainder of season
Cheers guys
Cannot split, unfortunately can’t afford Trac Or Clarry and I have a plethora of R15 players. TBH not really a fan of either :s
TU Neale
TD Serong (Need to use last boost on Rowston to Sharp)
I’d use Serong, surprisedly hasn’t let me down yet. With some tall timber coming back to the Pies, JDG has now got to be a consideration and a tick over 500k shows great value. Always a great big time player, with the Blues and the Demons coming up in the next month throw the Roos and the WCE and I reckon we’re up for some big scores.
Two options this week both im happy with, keen to hear thoughts.
TU: C.Jones + N.Long > Lloyd & Berry
TD: C.Jones + N.Long > Neale & Drury ($ the issue)
Holding LDU at this stage to save a trade and hope he is only out for a week or two.
Out goes Hopper, Baker & Chandler
In comes Sharp, Merrett & Darcy Cameron (Assuming he plays.)
Gives me 4/6/2/6 keepers with 16 trades left.
If LDU is going to be longer and Cameron is not picked its back to the drawing board.
Hopper -> De Goey
Davey -> Sharp
OR
McKenna -> Humphrey
(By swinging Sheezel to DEF)
TU: Davey -> Sharp
TD: McKenna -> Humphrey
Or I could go Cogs > De Goey
TU: JDG
v
TD: Cogs
Thoughts on Matt Kennedy? If he gets CBAs he has a ceiling, and could roll to the byes at his price?
Scroll up or control F, we were discussing him above! I’m a big fan!
Chandler > Sharp
Hopper > Merrett
Mills > Serong
Leaves me with 75k ITB
If D.Cameron goes well this week plan is to bring him in next week.
Is 600k+ too much for serong? The bye suits and he seems the real deal. Thoughts appreciated!
Tu or Td
Who to bring in this week?
T/U – Serong
T/D – Darcy
TU: Rozee
TD: Lloyd
Out McKenna, English, hopper + 306k
In Merrett, DCam, Walsh
Pros. Getting 3 premos, English a failed pick, since I got him has averaged only 100 over 3 games
Cons DCam may not play this round
TU or Td
Don’t trade English man!
Ok what about
Out McKenna, hopper, baker
In Walsh, T green, berry
TU or td
T/U: Walsh – Pretty bad for my bye structure but should be top 8 mid and if he gets fwd status will be guaranteed F1-3.
T/D: Serong – Much better for my bye structure and I believe will be very close to top 8 mids.
Tom green or Merrett
Out McKenna, hopper, baker
In Walsh, merrett, berry
TU or td
Do I trade Chandler as he has hit his peak with a BE of 105
TU: Trade
TD: Hold
TU: Zieball
TD: Sicily
Comment D.Cameron if in the line up
22 Trades ; 2 Boosts
Do I use my boost, go down to 19 trades and do the following…
McKenna -> Humphrey (Sheezel to DEF)
Hopper -> De Goey
Davey -> Sharp
TU: Yes
TD: No
Davey > sharp seems a waste of a boost.
The other trades seem nice
TU Stewart + Darcy Cameron
TD Short + Gulden
D6
TU Mason Redman
TD Hayden Young
Not havng Gulden is making me nervous. Is he a must have or am i chasing last weeks points. Back to BAck 150+ and North this week.
TU Gulden – Hayden Young
TD Bailey Smith – Sicily
TU: Weddle + Merett
TD: Sharp + Stewart
Thinking of the following options
TU – Weddle & Merrett
TD – Dusty & Wardlow
So happy for you Glorianne, my uncle in Saudi Arabia that’s just died needs someone like you !
What do you think about the best fwds moving forward?
Two options im thinking.
Tu: McKenna, Buckley, Davey > Humphrey, Stewart, Sharp
Td: McKenna, Buckley, Ashcroft > Sinclair, Rowell / T Kelly, Sharp
First option nets me uber premium, $71k and Humphrey for cash but would have Atkins / Cincotta, Ashcroft, Ginbey and S Mitchell on field.
Second option removes a rookie on field but i have no cash coming through (Cincotta, Weddly, Davey, Rowston, Drury, Roberts, Madden my other emergencies).
I could go Redman instead of Sinclair which allows me to get Humphrey
T/U: Tom Stewart
T/D: Rory Laird
All I care about is average from here on out. Can have either.
Bailey Humphries worth a look? Expensive I know but with trades drying up I need someone whose JS looks good and good bye structure.
TU good move
TD just go a Sharp and pocket cash
I prefer Humphrey as his DPP is worth the extra money
desperate times, finding sc not as enjoyable this season..cant afford the premiums so which would you prefer.
TU – Matthew Kennedy
TD – Redman
Mills & Hopper need to go. Hello D. Cameron!
Undecided on the next move:
TU Bailey Smith (M/F) +$12K ITB
TD Liam Baker (D/F)+ $50K ITB
Thanks SuperCoaches!
T/U – De Goey
T/D – Rozee
McKenna, Baker, Ashcroft > Sharp, Berry, D. Cameron+ 230K for future upgrades.
T/U – Rate it
T/D – Nope
Cheers guys!
Is anyone else worried about the potential tags Oliver may cop the next 2-3 weeks? SPP kept him to 60ish last season….
Tu: get him
Td : grab libba or tracc instead
TU: Drury ($102k)
TD: Sharp ($123k)
TU – Stewart
TD – merret plus 51k ITB
Do like the merret pick but don’t have Dawson or Stewart in my defence and feel like I’m missing out each week
With Cumming ruled out I really like Whitfield at $472k
TU Yes
TD No
He is on most coaches NEVER again lust for a reason, but if you feel confident, go for your life but you will regret it
Sharp JS?, any injured players who would come back and take his spot? Only zorko and rich on last weeks injury list
Still have Grundy but got facilities to trade to whoever (already got Marshall):
TU: Hold (Only benefit would be saving my last trade boost)
TD: Trade (most likely to English)
Comment for other options to trade in
Chandler and Hopper out
Humphrey in
and have 640K to spend on a mid/fwd.
TU: Serong
TD: De Goey
Comment: Anderson, Rowell, Walsh or anyone else.. 🙂
Walsh likely to gain fwd status too, if that factors into your equations
How’s your bye structure? In either case, Serong has been the more consistent scorer thus far but De Goey can put up those big scores in big games. At 501k it’s hard to ignore him, but also consider where you will end up putting the extra money towards too. If you don’t have an obvious target Serong could be well worth the extra $$ as he’s definitely around the Top 8-10 mark
Bye structure is pretty solid but De Goeys 501k is tempting.
Guess the question is go safe for hopefully consistency or ride the roller coaster of risk
Exactly, all the best!
Walsh or Zerrett are the most proven options
TU: Sinclair (527k)
TD: Lloyd (532k)
Who to bring in Mid:
TU: B.Smith
TD: Chad Warner
Who is a better option to bring in
TU: Sharp
TD: Berry
TU: Brayshaw
TD: Walsh (only currently have 15 playing in round 15 byes)
TU: Serong
TD: Walsh
Whos the more must have in your side (given current price and upcoming bye structure.
Tu: Stewart +additional 50k inb
Td: Dawson (who offers dpp)
TU: Bazlenka as mid
TD: Rowell
What to do with Cripps? Traded him in two weeks ago, terrible scores and a 189BE with next 3 games against COL, SYD and MEL looking likely to drop to low $500s.
TU: Trade to Walsh or Serong
TD: Hold
Best mid choice between….
TU – Tom Liberatore
TD – Caleb Serong
Who to trade first for upgrades
TU : Finn Callaghan
TD: Oskar Baker + $70k
tu – Witts
td – Serong
TU: Bring in Mitch Ducan as a POD
TD: Don’t go near him
Baker to Sharp
Hopper to Walsh
TU: Yes
TD: No
TU- JDG
TD- Darcy Cameron
TU – Walsh
TD – Dawson
I’ve already been hit hard with injuries in my midfield this season to LDU, Touk, Parish and now Mills. I am quickly running out of trades and am wondering should I just park Mills on the bench for the next month or so.
TU: Yes, save the trades
TD: No, too much money sitting on the bench
thinking trades this week….
-18 left, $1900 and 1 boost
-trade out hopper and ginbey, bring in gulden and weddle
-put zeibell in def and put s.mitchell in forward, than put weddle in defense (could substitute weddle for cincotta)
-or…could use last trade boost, trade out hopper, ginbey and ratugolea (ratugolea is in ruck sub) bring in either t.mitchell or gulden to put in mid, than horne-francis in mid or fwd and n.madden in ruck. having to keep in mind I wont have any additional boosts for bye rounds and ill be left with 15 trades and for some bye rounds ill only have one ruck as madden isnt playing.
Current team:
Def:
Dawson, Daicos, Sicily
Ginbey, Wilmont, S.mitchell
(Cincotta, Wagner)
Mid:
Bont, Oliver,
Laird, Green, Butters,
Hopper, O.Baker, Atkins.
(Davey, Uwland, Drury
Ruck:
English, Marshell (Ratugolea)
Fwd:
Taranto, Dunkley, Zeibell,
Rozee, Conigilo, Sheezel
(Van Rooyen, Phillipou)
Great looking team zara!
Save the boost, never know when it’ll come in handy. Having Esava as R3 cover for the next while is a smart move so I wouldn’t be looking to trade just yet.
Gulden is in hot form and Weddle is still decent enough price-wise with JS so not the worst option to bring in. Shame it’ll be tricky to loop D6 given Wagner’s team plays early. All the best
TU: Get in Bont – $19,000 change
TD: Get in Dawson – $88,888 change
19 trades left 65k itb 5 players off full premo
OUT: Mckenna, Hopper, Chandler
IN:
TU: Serong, Sharp, Humphrey + 216k itb
TD: H Young, Sharp, DCam + 35k itb
Who to get this week will get the other next week
Tu merret
Td Stewart
Still have Duncan
TU: Trade him out
TD: Trade out McKenna instead
Hopper to
Tu: Butters
TD: Darcy Cameron
De Goey?
T/U – yes, fair risk/reward at this price
T/D – pay up for someone better
Pretty happy with this trade, does leave me pretty cash poor for next round tho.
Hopper, Caminiti > Merrett, Sharp
T/U – Good Trade
T/D – Not enough value
Cheers,
Bomb
Gulden?
TU: Grab him, not having him hurts
TD: Ship has sailed, look elsewhere
Looking at turning McKenna into a fallen premo at D5;
TU: Sinclair
v
TD: Docherty
Or comment
Swing Sheezel to D5 and bring in Cogs.
Cogs, yeah.
Dear SC gods….you know I never ask for much, but this week could I please have one of Constable/Phillips. Both is clearly asking for too much.
Phillips a chance. RIP Constable.
Thoughts on Lachie Neale?
Ugh. No.
Started him. Horrendous.
Flat outside of CB, struggles to ton.
TU – Ziebell
TD – Serong
TU – Humphrey
TD – Sharp
Which trade?
TU Hopper + Davey to A Brayshaw +H Sharp
TD Hopper + Simpson to Laird + H Sharp
Has anyone thought of Luke Jackson for the R/F spot instead of D Cameron
Me !!!
Have done hopper and baker to Merrett and humphries. Is it worth it to boost and do Davey to sharp? Will have 19 trades and 2 boosts left. It’s for a bench spot.
TU yes get Davey out
TD waste of a trade
For those who kept Will Setterfield, me included, some bad news- he will miss weeks due to a foot fracture sustained in last weeks game.
Source: Essendon Football Club updated injury list.
Seeing a lot of coaches bring in Sharp, Berry and Humphries but I don’t really see the attraction.
Sharp – will be 1st one out probably when Rich returns.
Berry and Humphries – with Holman and Ainsworth likely to return and maybe Flanders as well I see Berry getting dropped and Humphries having much less opportunity to score. Sure they have the most favorable bye but only works if they are playing.
The bloke I am really looking at is Francis of Sydney – but only if he plays back. Great job security and round 12 bye not so bad.
If Steele is a late out (I am definitely feeling an impending FURL moment coming) then would Bytel get a full game as he could be a good option. Seems to be next ‘cab off the rank’.
What are the coaches thoughts?
Great comments Shaggy.
Drury should hold with the North injuries and could come good, He doesn’t help my Round 15 bye though so I’m going to pass.
Totally agree about the Suns boys. Sharp is a harder one. Rich may still be a few weeks away and they wont risk him at his age. Sharp is a fantastic runner, and a pure winger, he also allows Wilmont to play down back in his natural position. Ah Chee and Roberston have been very good in the twos and are also pushing for spot. Saying all that Brisbane like to back in their boys especially when they are winning. Fagan has come out and said he doesn’t like to change the team if he doesn’t have too. Sharp is probably still my preferred downgrade this week.
Bytel is on my radar, $116K is so cheap for what he is capable of if given a full game. A BE of 42 and many injuries already this year, mean I’m happy to wait a week. I will watch him closely and even if he goes ~60 he will still be Rookie priced and will reset his BE.
TU – sharp
TD – Drury
McKenna, Hopper & Chandler OUT
INS can be either –
TU : Stewart, Merrett & Sharp with $88,700 ITB, or
TD : Stewart, DeGoey & Humphrey with $62,300 ITB
Still thinking strongly about Walsh but his R15 bye hurts.
TU – Merrett
TD -Petracca
Thanks
Merret i reckon – Plays Richmond, West Coast and North Melbourne who are all incredibly easy to score against. Demons have a tougher few games.
T/U – Baker out, Zerret in
T/D – Cowan out, D Cameron in
Comment – Downgrade to Sharp, Baker to Oliver next week
Trying not to blow all my cash but need ruck cover and still have 3 rookies + Ashcroft and Sheezel on field (19 trades, $108 itb)
TU: Hopper and McKenna -> D Cameron & M Kennedy
TD: Van Rooyen, Hopper and McKenna -> DeGoey, D Cameron & Drury
Comment: Hopper and McKenna -> Merrett and T Berry
So many options, none of them great
Hopper to:
TU: Josh Kelly
TD: Zac Merrett
TU: wines
TD: kennedy
TU Gulden + Sicily
TD Gulden + Zerett
hey guys
DeGoey
or
Tom Mitchell
??
Cheers
Two forced changes this week – Hopper & Setterfield and I have 191k ITB.
Going to use my final boost to do the following trades:
Chandler to Drury (subject to selection, Sharp the other option)
Hopper to Walsh
Setterfield to Tom Stewart via DPP
Helps with my bye structure and I plan to move Walsh forward if he gets Forward status.
Leaves me with 73k ITB for next week.
T/U Good trades
T/D Nope, have another look
Comments welcome.
Who do I bring in first priority
TU: Ziebell
TD: D.Cameron
Wondering now about Ziebell’s role with Clarko bowing out…
Is using last boost for Davey to Sharp worth it?
Tu: yes, the 71k will be valuable as it looks like no decent rookie options on bubble next week
Td: best to save it in case any injuries occur this week
LDU replacement.
TU: Merrett – Good fixture
TD: Neale – Fallen Premo, good bye.
With a lot of M Kennedy talk (that I’m 50/50 onboard with) I’m wondering if Hobbs is a better option. At $332.9k he is $15k cheaper than season opening price after starting as sub in first game back (nasty 28 points).
With Parish out last week, he took on mid field accountability and jumped to 83. With Settlefield now also out, he’s a lock for genuine midfield minutes. None of the role / B22 uncertainty of Kennedy.
TU – stick to Kennedy @ $347.3k
TD – Hobbs @ $332.9k is better option
Comment on mid price madness …
Have to trade out Hopper and LDU
TU: Merrett & Humphrey (Bank 180k and good for bye coverage)
TD: DCameron & any midfielder under $465k (Maybe Zorko, Dusty, or Matt Kennedy)
Do you have a boost left to do a double upgrade?
Don’t rly want to get rid of baker but only way to get top 8 mid or could just boost to save baker
TU: Hopper, Baker > Serong, Sharp
TD: Hopper, Johnson, Davey> Serong, Sharp, Drury
Johnson might be back this week.
Hopper + LDU > D Cameron + Redman
Means missing cash gen options this round, but leaves me with only rookies on field Atkins D6, Ashcroft M8, S Mitchell / JVR loopholing at F6
TU – yes to above
TD – bring in cash gen rook this week instead of Redman and play wilmot on field.
TU: Merrett
TD: Serong
Bit of of complicated one – 1 boost left and trying not to use it if I can, but I’d love to get my rookie options off-field where possible as I have 6 on-field currently. I’m not sold on any bubble boys this week and Humphrey feels like Rory Atkins 2.0 who I already have. Some combination of Ridley, A. Davey, Holland or Roberts needs to be traded this week. Deciding if I should boost to bring in two big mid guns or play around with some cheaper options..
Tu: 2 trades -> Young, De Goey, 5 rookies on field
Td: Use the boost -> Merrett, Serong, 5 rookies on field but I’d have to bring in Sharp, Drury etc. on my bench
hey guys,
need to trade one of these 2 rookies?
Chandler
or
Oscar Baker
Cheers
Baker good JS and not likely to lose much value. Decent cover for any one week injuries if you need to save a trade. Probably one of the last rookies to go for a lot of teams imo
Ryan
or
Merrett
Out: Hopper, Chandler & Hollands/Baker.
In: Sharp & either;
TU: Butters & Libba
or
TD: Ziebell & Serong
Cheers,
Wayne
Tu- Walsh and berry
Td- D. Cameron and Humphrey
TU:
OUT: ashcroft davey Hopper
IN: serong de goey Sharpe
TD:
OUT: davey hopper
IN: Oliver Humphrey
Why is TD so heavily voted?
I thought TU was thr better move if I’m honest? Haha
Sharp probably survives till the bye and then out for Rich. He’ll need injuries to stay in. A dead rookie through the byes is not good. Oliver a must have. Humphrey good js. I didn’t vote by the way but that’s probably the thinking. Ashcroft will also be handy for R14/15.
All valid points thank you
TU: Liam Baker
TD: Wines
TU: Out Ridley Hopper Chandler
In Gulden Zerett Drury
TD: Out Ridley Hopper Chandler
In Gulden Weddle Darcy Cameron/Baker/Wines
TU: Gulden
Or
TD: Merret
TU: Weddle
Or
TD: Sharp
Having thoughts about doing English > Gawn as a cash generating trade.
Would allow me to boost and double upgrade this week while avoiding some of the rookie carnage
out English, Chandler, Ashcroft
In Gawn, Merrett, Warner
TU/TD
Out: Chandler, Baker, Steele
In:D.Cameron, Sharp and Merrett
Hey team !
Would appreciate thoughts on a couple of options:
TU: Chandler, Hopper, Baker –> Drury, Zerrett, DCameron
TD: Chandler, Hopper –>Humphrey, Walsh
Tu : serong
Or
TD: gulden
Is Coniglio a keeper?
Go hard or go home
Hopper -> Kennedy
Wilmot -> Salem
TU – walshie
TD – merrit
TU – Stewart & Sharp
TD – Cameron & humpfrey
Cameron’s bye really doesn’t suit me but I feel like sharp will be dropped
My cash gen is also a bit cooked at the moment
Brisbane: Harry Sharp. “Over the last 2-3 years his body has got a bit bigger and stronger so he’s going better in those contested situations. He just needs games in a row now to make him feel like he really belongs at the level.” Chris Fagan
TU : Sharp
Or
TD: Humphrey
T/U – Max Gawn
T/D – Darcy Cameron
Who to field for F6 this week?
TU: Seamus Mitchell
TD: Bailey Humphrey
TU : Merrett – BE of 120
TD : Stewart – BE of 129
Now that Drury wasn’t dropped, and Humphrey kept his place also –
TU – trade in Drury – cheaper but with dreaded R15 bye
TD – trade in Humphrey – $110K more expensive but better bye
Drury had the stinker score of 17 last week so more worried about his JS than Humphreys – but the extra money in the bank would be mighty helpful.
Not considering Sharp as I want a DPP player.
18 trades 1 boost left. Thinking I better get
Clayton Oliver in . I Could have gone for a value option and kept Ashcroft .
McKenna, Ashcroft, Baker > Oliver, Humphrey, Drury.
tu: Witts – $575.4 k (be: 89)
td: Gawn – $518.3 k (be:71)
1 boost left
TU: Hopper, Baker > Merrett, Sharp
TD: Hopper, Roberts, Johnson/Davey jnr> Merrett, Sharp, Drury
Using a boost gets more cash gen and saves baker from being traded but it’s obviously using an extra trade and the last boost
TU: Chandler, Wilmotand Hopper to Gulden, Cameron and Sharp (using last boost)
TD: Chandler and Hopper to Walsh and Sharp
Matt Rowell $542,000
Scores: 119, 94, 77, 51, 109, 124, 108, 85, 165
Breakeven: 55
Bye: sexy round 13
Want to take 2 of Rowell, de goey & merrett…
Probably like merretts role the least of the 3 and he’s the priciest.
Need both of these two in my team for structure just not sure which to get this week. Should probably wait a week on both but need one now.
TU: Z Merrett
TD: D Cameron
Which combo?
T/U- D.Cameron+Wardlaw
T/D- C.Warner+Fahey
T/U: Last boost Johnson -> Drury. Will give me enough to upgrade Ashcroft next week
T/D: Just hold
Who to downgrade Chandler to this week? Sharp? Baldwyn? Wardlarw?
TU: rowell
TD: JDG
Already done McKenna to Humphrey. What to do with my remaining two trades?
T/U: Madden, Hopper to Sharp, Docherty
T/D: Davey, Hopper to Sharp, Ziebell
Or should I go someone else over Ziebell?
T/U: Ziebell
T/D: Walsh or Zerrett
And which mid to get?
T/U: Merrett
T/D: Walsh
Is Davey a must trade this week?
TU: Serong (has the delicious Round 12 bye and fits my bye structure)
TD: Walsh (currently doesn’t fit my bye structure, but I still have 3 boosts remaining and can worry about that later)
I’m bringing these two guys in for LDU and Hopper.
TU: Merrett & $42k
TD: Serong
LDUs expected extended break forced my hand and looks like I am going
LDU, Hopper & Chandler to Ziebell, Sharp & Merrett & $131k ITB
aiming to go
Baker & Ashcroft out to Stewart & Fleeton & $100k ish ITB next week.
The best laid plans of mice & men …….
TU: rowell & Humphrey
TD: merrett & sharp
If you had to trade one out which would you go
TU: Cincotta (if dropped obviously)
TD: Noah Long
Is it worth a boost for a double downgrade? Have 2 left
T/U – JVR to Sharp
T/D – JVR to Humphrey
Other trades are Hopper and Davey to a premo mid and Drury
19 trades left, no boosts.
TU – Out Hopper/Cowan to Humphrey/Sharp. Then following week Wilmot to Daicos with banked $$$$.
3 trades used.
TD – Out Hopper/Wilmot to Sharp/Daicos. 2 trades only.
Just comes down to is Humphrey a must get for mooing?
I’ve made two trades this week.
Considering boosting to trade van Rooyen to Drury to allow an upgrade next week.
TU – do it
TD – don’t do it
