Apparently only a couple of weeks. With the bye in round 12, there’s every chance that the only game he actually misses is next week. Maybe he misses round 13 as well but only Freo and St Kilda are on bye then so should be able to cover that one easily enough too
i would hold JHF. who else do you go to (assuming you have petracca, warner, rankine, macrea, smith). he has the round 12 bye anyway. unless me get a good DPP next week
callaghan is a trade out. he is going well, but there are better options.
Probably just Hewett to Simpson this week, barring injury news. Feel like there’s a lot of huge price fluctuations with premos right now and a few look ripe for picking in a few weeks. With only 3 rookies left on field and 22 trades left, I’m in no rush, will bide my time until the prices are right.
In: S Bolton, J Dawson, C Simpson
Out: J Horne-Francis, E Hewett, L Trainor
T/U or T/D
Love the Dawson easy C this week, will monster WC at home. 4 of his last 6 are at Adelaide Oval where we know he scores well, the two away trips during that period are to play WC and NM. I tend to value SC scoring potential during the finals rounds highly when picking a premo, so that is my reasoning for the Dawson pick.
Looking forward to latest DPP possibilities, Simpson & Binns in particular. Both played defence from memory. If they got DPP would be a welcome addition to my many non-DPP bench players.
I think the minimum is three games? please correct me if I’ve got that wrong
otherwise Simpson and Binns will scrape in assuming they are named to play this week. Simpson would be a lock for D/F if so, not quite as sure about Binns
What do we think about Bolton. 450k can go big, can also go missing case in point two weeks ago. Could make sone cash over the byes.. Maybe a good M9 or F7?
Shai Bolton is priced at 429.7k with a BE of -24. If he averages 100, which he has been doing this season aside from his one shocker score, he’ll be 500k in two weeks.
It’s obviously risk as he has burned owners once this season, but the rest of his form is sparkling, and will likely make as much cash as someone like an Archer Day-Wicks in the short term, with genuine Top 6 forward upside. Worth a roll of the dice for me this week.
The team has completely plateaued. It feels like every week I’m failing the rookie roulette and fielding a 50. My strategy is therefore to get these rookies off field. I can’t upgrade this week I already have Simpson.
I’m currently thinking Cleary and E. Hewett for Phillipou and Coleman. I know Pou scored badly this week but surely that’s a blip considering saints played badly and he stuffed his finger resulting in time on the bench.
This ultimately leaves me with Lindsay, Reid and Levi being my remaining pure rookies on field with 19 trades left.
I’d try to find a better downgrade option than Sheldrick. He’s just not reliable this year and can’t be sure that he’ll get enough proper games to make the cash at such an elevated price point already
Plays the same position as Docherty who had another billion possessions in the twos last weekend. And Carlton lost, which makes changes more likely. Has the lousy Rd 12 bye also.
I like Binns, he has worked really hard for this opportunity. But at this price, that’s a lot of risk to be taking on. See if he’s named this week and you’re not overloaded on the Rd 12 bye.
Do I keep holding off doing Roberts > Sinclair, or just bite the bullet? Roberts keeps dropping and Sinclair will keep rising now. Every week getting punished by not doing it.
TU: Just do it!
TD: Keep holding Roberts (please comment why he deserves to stay)
With a few ppl picking up Rozee over the last few weeks hoping he might get DPP, me included. Does anyone have any update on his MID/DEF minutes? Much more time over the weekend in the guts thanks JHF. Has he done enough to get dpp yet or could this last week coming up make or break it? dare say he plays mid again this coming week
Assuming I hold Horne Francis which trade should I do?
T/U C Cleary and E Tsatas/C Hall to Bolton and Simpson
T/D L Ashcroft and E Tsatas/C Hall to Premo under 590k and Simpson
Keep in mind I already have 6 forward premos (Smith, Rankine, JHF, Warner, Macrae, Maric) but Bolton could be a M9 or F8 or he or maric could later be upgraded to a midfield uber premo.
Horne-France is out for 3 games (4 weeks) .. if your playing for rank 2 games or more is generally a trade .. lot of $$ sitting on the bench for 4 weeks with no points.
With no urgent upgrades, is it worth using funds to go Leake -> Coleman? Get rid of a dead rookie for a player who could average ~80 and go up in price. Leaves me with 20 trades and Reid/Coleman/Lindsay as my only on-field “rookies” to upgrade.
TU – do it, Leake is dead and Coleman could be a good bridge to post-bye full premo
TD – wait a week, Coleman won’t go up in price yet so may as well get one more look at him
Hewett and kako gotta go, desperate for some cash. Simpson is the obvious downgrade, is it worth going day-wicks as well purely to have some cash for future upgrades (also have clearly on the bench)
Any love for Bews as d7 and making cash via Roberts ??? Bews has nice R16 bye and cash to make. Can do via Callaghan/Holmes, and still do Kako/Simpson for more cash. Plan then to get a Doggie or three after R12
JHF out for 4 weeks so who is the replacement
Looking at T/U Rankine, T/D Petracca, pickings are a bit slim for the forward line at the moment, both have a high BE and will probably lose dollars this week.
It’s only Monday night and this might be controversial, but I think I’m going to hold both JHF and Macrae.
It will hurt this week, but after that it’s best 18 for the next month and much easier to hide injured players on the bench, especially round 13 with only two teams on the bye. I’m also predicting that Boxshall will come in for however long Macrae is out, so there’s cover there.
If you’re in the running for overall then this is not a good strategy! But anyone playing for leagues only, I think this has merit.
I think we wait to see with Macrae but JHF has to go. 4 weeks of not getting that score is unhelpful and with the 22 his price will drop anyway so can potentially grab him as an M9/F7 in 6 weeks. Best 18 lets us cover the bye players being out but with rookies being incredibly inconsistent and other players missing because of their own byes, it gets really hard to hold an injured player on top of that
Was thinking I could hold JHF and Macrae, only because there are very few other options ( I did just trade Daniel out last week). So a trade out now, will most likely mean another trade back in. I could maybe hold for 3 weeks if 1 week was a bye, but 4 is starting to hurt.
Callaghan will go. He isn’t a keeper, although I just got him a few weeks ago when Oliver was out. Plenty of good options to go to.
My thoughts are hold JHF and Macrae. But to trade two rookies (Hewitt and Cleary) to Simpson and Bolton. This should give me some coverage and allow to hold them. Plus will generate some nice cash.
N Daicos looking like a good trade down after his bye
Would trade him in for JHF this week but still has money to loose thoughts on best JHF trade
Tu Simpson
Td midfielder roughly the same price
How long will he be sidelined?
Apparently only a couple of weeks. With the bye in round 12, there’s every chance that the only game he actually misses is next week. Maybe he misses round 13 as well but only Freo and St Kilda are on bye then so should be able to cover that one easily enough too
Money for Bont
Visentini a must have?
Not a must have but I think he could be a good in
Worth upping a Boyd type at R3 to Vis to help cover byes?
Bigger priority trade out
Tu: Trainor
Td: Cleary
What is everyone doing with JHF and Callaghan if they only miss 2 or 3 games?
TU: trade
TD: hold
Is callahan out ?
Dislocated shoulder , no surgery required
Reckon he’ll play next week ?
I doubt it, probably out for 2/3 weeks
i would hold JHF. who else do you go to (assuming you have petracca, warner, rankine, macrea, smith). he has the round 12 bye anyway. unless me get a good DPP next week
callaghan is a trade out. he is going well, but there are better options.
Trade JHF or keep?
Thinking
Out stone and Bice
In Whitfield and C. Simpson?
A lot of premo got very high BE so plan to lose money which ever way you go, that’s if you have premos in your side
Tu: Warner
Td: Heeney
Mills and Gulden will come back and heeney goes forward
Upgrade Levi Ashcroft to a mid premo?
Tu or Td
Probably just Hewett to Simpson this week, barring injury news. Feel like there’s a lot of huge price fluctuations with premos right now and a few look ripe for picking in a few weeks. With only 3 rookies left on field and 22 trades left, I’m in no rush, will bide my time until the prices are right.
agree. that is the best play leading into the byes, unless there are injured. trade in premiums after their byes
McKercher an option?
In: Z.Merrett, A.Day-Wicks
Out: J.Horne-Francis, I.Kako
T/U or T/D?
In: S Bolton, J Dawson, C Simpson
Out: J Horne-Francis, E Hewett, L Trainor
T/U or T/D
Love the Dawson easy C this week, will monster WC at home. 4 of his last 6 are at Adelaide Oval where we know he scores well, the two away trips during that period are to play WC and NM. I tend to value SC scoring potential during the finals rounds highly when picking a premo, so that is my reasoning for the Dawson pick.
Always worry that Bolton will put in a shocker after a good game
Moving on one of these to upgrade to a premium
Which one should go first
T/U – L. Ashcroft
T/D – R. Bice
Hewett to Simpson is the first trade
TU: Cleary to Visentini
TD: Ashcroft to Heeney
Comment: use last boost and do both
Tu: both is good
Locked in, am currently ranked top 200 so am being aggressive in trading JHF
OUT – JHF, Langford, Hewett
IN – S. Bolton, C. Simpson, ?
Have 625k ITB for last trade
TU – Visentini
TD – Any premo under 625k
Cheers legends
Hey, Marcus.
Love that for you.
The normative move will be to hold JHF but if you’re flush with trades and highly ranked, I reckon go for it.
Good luck.
I second GD. Unless you’re also holding TDK, it’s byes and best 18 soon. I would hold JHF
i would try and hold JHF. who will replace him in top 6 forwards? Bolton?
maybe just the hewitt and Langford to Bolton and Visentini and hold JHF
Lindsay Cleary Lash > Coleman Simpson Tom Green
TU Good Trades
TD Bad Trades
dont trade lash, he is getting 100 pluses, he is not a priority trade
Levi Ashcroft
Hold
Yeah, there’s just no urgency to bring in Coleman. I’d wait a week, save the boost and hold Ashcroft for a week
Which is the better option?
T/u – Trade Kako out but can only afford a 520k player (probably Heeney)
T/d – Trade Lindsay out early so I can get up to a 580k player (Dunkley, Green, Anderson, Sinclair type)
Looking forward to latest DPP possibilities, Simpson & Binns in particular. Both played defence from memory. If they got DPP would be a welcome addition to my many non-DPP bench players.
not sure they have played enough games
I think the minimum is three games? please correct me if I’ve got that wrong
otherwise Simpson and Binns will scrape in assuming they are named to play this week. Simpson would be a lock for D/F if so, not quite as sure about Binns
whos the better opition
Dale plays basically the rest of the szn at MARV
Whitfield,
Clark
other than that which other premos are in your sights
Both Whit and Clark have r16 bye. I’m looking at Dale or Libba after their r12 bye.
No they don’t Clark is 13 bye.
if you have to pick this week, it would be Clark for his good bye. Dale has a r12 bye
do you have Rozee? will get DPP next week. id go him ahead of dale in round 13
More than likely going Bice to Kiddy, looked pretty good first game back and will make cash plus be safe on field.
Then upgrading Hewett, but who to? Libba is my first choice but I have too many with the first bye. My choices ATM are:
T/U: Sinclair
T/D: Rowell + 100k
who is Kiddy?
Keidean Coleman?
Keidean Coleman, was in my team all preseason until he got injured. Think he averages 85+ from here on our with the ceiling for more.
just reminded myself Coleman is only $269k. i’d prefer to have one more week to look at him
Out – Bice and Trainor
T/U, In – Clark and Simpson + 104k
T/D, In – Whitfield and Simpson + 41k
What do we think about Bolton. 450k can go big, can also go missing case in point two weeks ago. Could make sone cash over the byes.. Maybe a good M9 or F7?
TU: worth the trade
TD: stay away
Addressing the dead rookies in my lineup this week over replacing the likes of TDK, JHF & Callaghan, especially if they miss only a few weeks.
T/U: Bice, Berry & Tsatas > Binns, Simpson & Coleman
T/D: Trade out two of the premos like for like
Shai Bolton is priced at 429.7k with a BE of -24. If he averages 100, which he has been doing this season aside from his one shocker score, he’ll be 500k in two weeks.
It’s obviously risk as he has burned owners once this season, but the rest of his form is sparkling, and will likely make as much cash as someone like an Archer Day-Wicks in the short term, with genuine Top 6 forward upside. Worth a roll of the dice for me this week.
if you can get him as an upgrade (2 rookies) he is worth considering, one less rookie on field
If you were looking for a JHF replacement, i’d hold
Cleary > Simpson
Lashcroft > J Clark
same for me this week, Hewitt instead of Cleary though.
Anyone have any update on Washcroft potential fwd dpp?
The team has completely plateaued. It feels like every week I’m failing the rookie roulette and fielding a 50. My strategy is therefore to get these rookies off field. I can’t upgrade this week I already have Simpson.
I’m currently thinking Cleary and E. Hewett for Phillipou and Coleman. I know Pou scored badly this week but surely that’s a blip considering saints played badly and he stuffed his finger resulting in time on the bench.
This ultimately leaves me with Lindsay, Reid and Levi being my remaining pure rookies on field with 19 trades left.
TU – go for it!
TD – you’re crazy
Not worth bringing in coleman this week, he wont go up in price and he might get injured or score poorely, not worth the risk
I would definitely wait on Phillipou now. He did get mid time this week though. Worst case scenario is he gets a ton and he goes up 25k
Are DPP updates the beginning of next round or after?
TU:Bring in bont this week,
TD: bring shai this week
comment any other pemo’s
Thoughts on this? Gets 2 rookies off field…
JHF > Libba (via Trac DPP)
Hustwaite > Heeney
Hewett > Sheldrick
TU: Worht it
TD: Don’t trade JHF
I’d try to find a better downgrade option than Sheldrick. He’s just not reliable this year and can’t be sure that he’ll get enough proper games to make the cash at such an elevated price point already
Is jaxon Binns a good option?? Am seeing nothing at all about him. Poor js the issue?
Plays the same position as Docherty who had another billion possessions in the twos last weekend. And Carlton lost, which makes changes more likely. Has the lousy Rd 12 bye also.
I like Binns, he has worked really hard for this opportunity. But at this price, that’s a lot of risk to be taking on. See if he’s named this week and you’re not overloaded on the Rd 12 bye.
Cleary Lindsay Archer Reid > Simpson Sims Serong
TU: Good Trades
TD: Bad Trades
Any timelines on JHF?
4 weeks according to Port Adelaide injury update.
Who goes for Simpson?
TU: C Cleary
TD: E Hewett
Do I keep holding off doing Roberts > Sinclair, or just bite the bullet? Roberts keeps dropping and Sinclair will keep rising now. Every week getting punished by not doing it.
TU: Just do it!
TD: Keep holding Roberts (please comment why he deserves to stay)
With a few ppl picking up Rozee over the last few weeks hoping he might get DPP, me included. Does anyone have any update on his MID/DEF minutes? Much more time over the weekend in the guts thanks JHF. Has he done enough to get dpp yet or could this last week coming up make or break it? dare say he plays mid again this coming week
pretty sure he is locked in for DPP
Should get the DPP been playing off half-back almost all of the time since round 5
Assuming I hold Horne Francis which trade should I do?
T/U C Cleary and E Tsatas/C Hall to Bolton and Simpson
T/D L Ashcroft and E Tsatas/C Hall to Premo under 590k and Simpson
Keep in mind I already have 6 forward premos (Smith, Rankine, JHF, Warner, Macrae, Maric) but Bolton could be a M9 or F8 or he or maric could later be upgraded to a midfield uber premo.
Horne-France is out for 3 games (4 weeks) .. if your playing for rank 2 games or more is generally a trade .. lot of $$ sitting on the bench for 4 weeks with no points.
Who scores more by end of season:
TU: J Clark
TD: L Jackson
ONLY BRING IN JACKSON if sean darcy is injured
Word
With no urgent upgrades, is it worth using funds to go Leake -> Coleman? Get rid of a dead rookie for a player who could average ~80 and go up in price. Leaves me with 20 trades and Reid/Coleman/Lindsay as my only on-field “rookies” to upgrade.
TU – do it, Leake is dead and Coleman could be a good bridge to post-bye full premo
TD – wait a week, Coleman won’t go up in price yet so may as well get one more look at him
Would normally vote up to this
But Callaghan will probably be out of the GWS midfield this week, and McMullin also probably out with a groin strain
And Leake had 39 possessions & 6 tackles in the two’s on the weekend
Not sure if Coniglio gets up this week, but Kelly & Daniels still out for a few more weeks – so Leake may get another run this week
Out – Dudley and trainor
In – simpson and Coleman
T.u yes good moves
T d no look elsewhere
Who will be grabbing butters after his bye?
Depends how he goes this week
Cleary – Simpson
Ashcroft – Green
JHF 4 weeks, that’s a trade out
TU: Dale
TD: bont
i dont really care about their bye next week, im all good for it and i will be getting the other one after their bye
Any idea if TDK back this week?
TU trainor + davidson > bews + simpson (save money)
TD do one trade and use other to get premo
Not sure Bews has great job security
OUT: Hewett and JHF
IN: Simpson and….
TU: Rankine
TD: Jackson
what to do no clue atm, teams looking like this
Shezzel,zorko,sinclair,roberts,reid,trainor (FOS, Carrol)
brayshaw,nacios, rozee, cerra, c.daniel,L. Ashcroft, Lindsay, Morales (Saad,hustwaite and Morales
Xerri,Gawn (Boyd)
Smith,petrecca,rankine,warner,mcare, JHF (clealy, hamling)
flex Marshall
with 77k itb and 20 trades pretty stuck atm lmk any ideas
Cleary > Simpson
Roberts > Whitfield
Although JHF could be more of a priority trade and see what happens with McRae.
Hewett and kako gotta go, desperate for some cash. Simpson is the obvious downgrade, is it worth going day-wicks as well purely to have some cash for future upgrades (also have clearly on the bench)
Tu: Yes
Td: No
OUT: Hewett & Cleary
IN: Serong & Simpson
TU: Do it
TD: Don’t
Any love for Bews as d7 and making cash via Roberts ??? Bews has nice R16 bye and cash to make. Can do via Callaghan/Holmes, and still do Kako/Simpson for more cash. Plan then to get a Doggie or three after R12
T/u Yes
T/d No
JHF out for 4 weeks so who is the replacement
Looking at T/U Rankine, T/D Petracca, pickings are a bit slim for the forward line at the moment, both have a high BE and will probably lose dollars this week.
Out
E.Hewett Langford Trainor
In
Simpson N.Anderson sheldrick
Leave me $107k and helps my by structure even up
Woah JHF out for 4 weeks meaning he will miss 3 games. Very tough decision on our hands!
Are we trading or holding?
TU – Trade
TD – Hold
As someone that owns JHF Macrae and Callahand what would you do
Thinking about holding macrae and trading the other 2
It’s only Monday night and this might be controversial, but I think I’m going to hold both JHF and Macrae.
It will hurt this week, but after that it’s best 18 for the next month and much easier to hide injured players on the bench, especially round 13 with only two teams on the bye. I’m also predicting that Boxshall will come in for however long Macrae is out, so there’s cover there.

Best 18 lets us cover the bye players being out but with rookies being incredibly inconsistent and other players missing because of their own byes, it gets really hard to hold an injured player on top of that
Yeah I think you’ve nailed that Chillo!
Completely different strategies from this point on for coaches playing for overall and league.
Not sure how long Macrae out for, but with JHF out for 4 he’s a trade for those overall players and most likely a hold for league players.
The problem with that for me Chillo is that I also own Callaghan.
Can’t carry three of them.
I’ve got JHF, Callaghan and Macrae as well.
Was thinking I could hold JHF and Macrae, only because there are very few other options ( I did just trade Daniel out last week). So a trade out now, will most likely mean another trade back in. I could maybe hold for 3 weeks if 1 week was a bye, but 4 is starting to hurt.

My thoughts are hold JHF and Macrae. But to trade two rookies (Hewitt and Cleary) to Simpson and Bolton. This should give me some coverage and allow to hold them. Plus will generate some nice cash.
Callaghan to either Green or Clark
Every time I go to trade out Bice and get Whitfield an injury ruins it for me.
Looks like Macrae and JHF will have to go. Who are we looking at? I might swing Lashcroft to the forward line
Macrae to Bont
JHF to Martin or Bolton?
The more I think about it I think it’s best to hold and stick with original trades
Bice to Whitfield
Leake to Simpson
Sorry Stone to Simpson
Who needs to go first
T/u Langford
T/d lindsay
