Ben Keays.. back to a midfield role (24 CBA’s)
Sub 400k, is he a proper premo?
Tu or Td
Argh. Hard to say. CBAs rn are nice but it’s in a tagging role. He’s also been out of the midfield for so long that he isn’t a necessity there like Baird and Dawson – although there really isn’t go to 3rd MID.
You’d be betting on him staying there and the Crows tagging for 3 months. Idk.
Does have a nice fixture though.
Surely he’s good enough he stays in there even if he’s not tagging? Proven he can do it in the past too!
Yeah. I like him as a player, always have.
He’s better than Sloane, Berry isn’t even in the side and Rachele didn’t have the biggest impact chopping out. Keays their best 3rd MID rn, yes.
Just a matter of whether it holds.
Also, where is your team at Olie? If you can handily get to FP, then fade Keays. If a sub 400k premo is just golden for you and guarantees FP, then do it.
Adam Kelly after Ben Keays’ 94% mid time last week: We’ll see a fair bit of Keays in the midfield again. 94% is probably too high but he will spend more time in there.
This was posted on Twitter by Aaron Bryans at midday before the game against the Suns
I have 14 trades so somewhat wealthy in that department.
Plan was always Sheezel to Neale.
How about Ziebell to Brayshaw as well?
Y/N?
Is Briggs the main ruck now for giants? Does he play the rest of season unless injured?
In his current form, yes.
Problem is GWS have 2 other serviceable rucks and a propensity to chop and change the minute the form of the #1 ruck isn’t up to scratch.
I’m guessing the nub of your question is can he be R2 LT? Personally, I’d use him as a cow only. Use his bulk cash to finish your team. In the event something happens, are you really going to have the trades to get him up? Also a pretty big sweat to back a GWS ruck for half a season on field.
Read on the state league wrap ups that Flynn dominated VFL too, so 100% GD is on the money.
I’m considering playing Briggs over Gawn this week though with 3 healthy ruckmen…..
10 trades should i do these trades
Ohalloran-serong
chandler- heeney
atkins- any cheap rookie that will play
once i get them all in my team only has 1 rookie left in it
worth it-TU
not worth it TD
neale-TU
serong-TD
Surely no one needs to trade this week ?????
forgot to add, going to use these trades over the next 2 byes when i need to get the players out
Had De Goey so yep will need to trade…
Trading now for round 15 and price movements maybe.
Maybe DeGoey to Neale.
Been looking forward to NOW!
Let’s go shopping-
Out – Zeibell Sheezel Coniglio Baker
In Brayshaw Neale Jackson and…..Oliver
Just tired of Coniglio with indiscriminate DE
Sheezel looks a little tired and his change of role means must trade before he loses to much $’s
Zeibell no longer getting cheap seagull sweeping points that he used to get and Hall doing a lot more kick out duties.
Baker – 21 disposals 9 marks all for 41 points.
You have served your purpose.
Next to go will either be Callaghan or Ashcroft but I also still have Ratagulea but can’t trade anyone in with a round 15 bye as I need warm bodies.
what are peoples thoughts on cripps in for de goey, cripps at 480k wouldn’t think he would go much lower and able to bank the 50k from de goey to him
TU-you might be smart
TD-pick something else your dumb
Cripps has R15 bye……don’t be silly.
Yeah, don’t bother.
O.Baker is he still a hold? BE 59
TU: Yes still can make money
TD: No slow burner will lose dollars
There’s no “is he a hold” with rookies at this stage, Brandon.
Race to full premo and get your byes in order.
T/U – Brayshaw
T/D – Neale
Sheezel, Atkins and Humphrey > Brayshaw, Neale and Harvey Harrison
Leaves me with 10 trades and 3 rookies left on field.
No way. Terrible for a number of reasons.
Humph and Atkins will be sensational bye cover. Don’t bin them. They’ll be essential to getting you to 18.
Neale, yes, covers Sheezel but with how many premos you still need I wouldn’t be sidewaysing. Get Neale in as a traditional upgrade.
Target value, full premo the priority, not destroying your CG and bye cover for flashy premos.
Thanks GD always love the advice tho the above has me confused. A common line in SC Talk is “hold til their bye”, but sometimes keep them as in Atkins etc above?
I was also thinking using Atkins this week to get Neale in, (also have Sheezel but was keeping til R15). But you think Sheezel is the one to use for Neale this week??
I would’ve thought as long as Im not trading in someone whos yet to have their bye, Im covering my bye requirements (barring injury of course).
I have 19 trades up my sleeve, and 5 rookies to get to FP.
Cheers
TU – Chad Warner
TD – Lachie Neale
Ashcroft > Neale
I’m thinking Ginbey > Fyfe. Am I mad?
TU: yes
TD: no
At this time of year only trade for keepers
Correct. Well said, Wighty.
In that case, hope you e still got 22 trades available Wighty 😉
I traded for Briggs last week.
Interesting tactic. Hope you’ve got minimal cash cows.
The Neale upgrade can’t be done without a $41K downgrade. Fyfe is high risk/high reward. The only other feasible option I have is to downgrade to a low JS rookie ala Mullin.
Cheezel > Dawson Macrae to FWD
TU: Brayshaw (Andy)
TD: Serong
Ruck Cover
TU: Luke Jackson + Better bye support
TD: Darcy Cameron + $50K
Can you DPP in L. Ryan or Warner? Post bye and better options than both.
Anyone have any thoughts on Lewis Melican. Does he have good JS? will he score well?
Not many rookie priced options this week. Early thoughts are
Sheezel, Ziebell > Melican, Brayshaw +250k
Leaves me with 8 trades and 2 upgrades left.
KPF fill in. Score top of his range, won’t happen again.
JS depends on Rampe and McCartin ETAs. Check injury lists this week. If they’re away till after the byes, then yeah: Melican could be decent just as a live post-bye downgrade.
Get Ryan or Lloyd in this week or next?
Im thinking trading them for weddle and cincotta next week as both should make more cash. Lloyd and Ryan have high BEs as well so ill be able to afford both even if they score 150s.
When i do the trade would have 6 left and 1 off full premo.
Tu: get them this week
Td: wait a week as may make more cash
To get either lloyd or ryan as D6
Cash irrelevant rn, race to full premo without delay.
Im leaning to do this trade this week, but need to find a rookie to bring in that will play the bye rounds.
I could go early on Mullin but feel thats way too risky. Lets see what comes from the teams this week and hopefully there is anorher cheapie available.
Lloyd playing St Kilda. Ziebell, Sicily and Ryan all went massive against the Saints
Ziebell and Roberts> Neale and Fyfe
First thoughts on trades this week with 496k ITB.
Wilmot to Mullin via DPP for cash
Angwin to Andy Brayshaw
Van Rooyen via DPP to Caleb Serong or Lachie Neale
Neale is cheaper but he hasn’t totally convinced me and his floor can be low.
T/U Caleb Serong
T/D Lachie Neale
Comment: Anyone else who had the R12 bye.
These trades will leave me with no rookies on field and Briggs at R2 as the only upgrade left and if he keeps pumping out 100’s, he will be going nowhere!
I will have 22 on field in R13, 18/19 on field in R14 and 17 on field in R15 if I don’t upgrade Briggs.
Bench cover will be Weddle/Mullin in Defence, Humphrey/Sharp in Mids, Seamus Mitchell/Ford in Forwards.
I have Darcy Cameron in the forwards to cover the rucks via Madden.
6 trades left for the run home, 4 if I upgrade Briggs to a Witts/English type.
What could possibly go wrong!!!
TU : Sinclair
TD : Lloyd
Ziebell > Yeo
Day > Brayshaw
TU Yes
TD No
T.U: L. Ryan & Yeo
T.D: Wilkie/Young & Keays
Very similar price, one’s had the bye, one hasn’t. Who’s going to score more for the remainder of the year?
TU: Dawson
TD: Neale
Feeling a bit stuck. 11 trades left. 480k itb and want to trade in 2 premos from the round 12 bye
Any ideas welcome:
Def Stuart, Daicos, Dawson, Ziebell, Day, Weddle: Young Chesser
Mids Bont, Laird, Anderson, Zerrett, Steele, Ashcroft, Wardlaw, Johnson: Cincotta, Davey, Dury
Rucks, English, RoMo: Briggs
Forwards: Toranto, Dunkley, Rozee, Gulden, Cogs, Sheezel: Ford, Madden
Day Davey -> L. Ryan Chad Warner
Couple $k off being able to grab Neale instead of Warner. Could use Johnson instead of Davey and be able to pull it off for Neale or Brayshaw instead, but Johnson does have a little bit more money to make and could be nice bye coverage I suppose.
Could also trade out Ziebell/Sheezel instead of Day
Definitely trying to get off rd15 bye players but also don’t want to trade people I’ve had penciled in as keepers before I get to full premo.
Could burn most of my cash and go
Out Davey, Young, Cincotta
In Young, Jackson, Mullin
It’s a double upgrade but it feels a bit wrong/disappointing
Just Some Guy,
how about
Ashcroft & Sheezel out
Zeibell shifted to the forward line.
Neale & Lloyd in.
& still $268k ITB.
Current thought
Out Zeibell + Young
In Neale + Brayshaw
Bank remaining 72k.
17 premos this round + lots of players this round.
If Oliver plays this week
TU: Get him in now
TD: Wait until after his bye round
Feeling a bit stuck so would love some advice.
$376k ITB and 12 trades.
DEF: Daicos, Stewart, Sicily, Sinclair, Sheezel, S Mitchell (Cincotta, Constable)
MID: Merrett, Laird, Libba, Green, De Goey, Day, Atkins, Wardlaw (Johnson, Angwin, Roberts)
RUC: English, RoMo (Briggs)
FWD: Dunkley, Taranto, Gulden, Rozzee, Cogs, Ziebell (Ford, Madden).
Should I be trading De Goey and Will Day out this week? Or something else?
De Goey -> Dawson
Mitchell -> Lloyd
Day -> Anderson
*Day trade optional, could also make Ziebell Ryan. Lock the first two in.
Great side.
Thanks GD!
Anyone know what Rory Atkins break even is? They all show 0 for players on the buy but would be nice to know their real BE’s. Thanks.
R. Atkins BE 83
83
Straight swap of DeGoey to Sinclair feels like a no-brainer but is there a better option? Only 5k in the bank
Tu: Do it
TD: Theres a better option you have missed..
In a bit of a pickle now that De Goey is out. Traded him in last week…have a lot of dead rookies too….
Any ideas?
Sicily, Redman, Lloyd, Sheezel, Weddle, Stewart (Chesser, Gilbee)
Bont, Merrett, Dawson, Laird, Neale, Gulden, Green, De Goey (Sharp, Constable, Wagner)
RoMo, Gawn (Madden)
Dunkley, Taranto, Rozzee, Ziebell, Ford, Humphrey (Harrison, Mitchell)
16k ITB and 13 trades
What about straight swap for Serong, Brayshaw or Anderson?
TU: Neale + $100k to upgrade S Mitchell to D Cameron
TD: Oliver and hold
Sheezel and Ziebell (terrible trade in 4 weeks ago)
To Neale and L Ryan
Stewart next week.
Yes/no
Thanks
Do we give Ziebell one more chance?
Or trade to a Brayshaw / Neale this week?
T/U – Hold Ziebell
T/D – Trade
TU Ryan
TD Lloyd
Stuck on this as well. Leaning towards Lloyds durability over Ryan’s ceiling. Ryan went bonkers in the back half of last year though.
Ryan’s last 6 games, 4 at Optus Oval, including 3 during finals games.
Looks like the inclusion of Hall & Thomas has struck down Ziebel’s scoring.. He is projected to drop another $30k+ this week..
Not much $ in the bank so hoping I can get out of this with 1 trade so Lloyd stands out as the obvious candidate…
TU or TD?
Ziebell- Sheezel – Atkins >
Dunkley – L Ryan – Yeo
TD or TU ?
T/U – No Trade
T/D – Cincotta for Jack Steele
Weddle – Serong
Don’t need the extra 15k he’s set to go up rather the points due to my overall rnak.
Biggest priority for the week
Tu: Sideways ziebell to another premo like Neale, stay 2 of full premo
Td: keep ziebell for now (hopefully this is just a form slump) and do an upgrade to go 1 off full premo (weddle > mullin, mitchell > neale).
Can’t do both as de goey is a must trade
Should add only have 9 trades left at start of this week.
Why is Degoey a must trade? It’s best 18 the next 3 weeks
If your that short on trades might just be better to hold and hope for the best save that trade for later
Yeah completely get this but if he gets 3 (which is minimum) he is out for 4 including r15 (have 14-15 available pre trades if i keep him) and 2 non bye weeks where ill have to cover with a rookie so imo trading is the best option.
Unpopular view, but given my low trades ill prioritise upgrading my last 2 rookies and hold Ziebell onto his bye at least keeping S mitchell as a loop. If he didnt clanger it up last 2 weeks he would have scored 90s which is ok for a d6. Clarko should come back post bye and get him back to the old role as well.
Team atm:
Sicily, Daicos, Dawson (Cincotta)
Sinclair, Sheezel, Atkins (wagnar)
Bont, Butters (Davey)
Laird, Gulden, Neale (Sharp)
Green, Coniglio, Baker (Uwland)
Marshall, English (Mcandrew)
Dunkley, Taranto, Rozee (Phillipou)
Zeibell, Van Rooyen, S. Mitchell (Ford)
12 trades left and $152,200 in bank atm….does anyone have any trades recomended to get either 1 or 2 extra premos??
My two suggestions for what they are worth
Out Baker and Atkins
In. Steele and Fyfe
Logic is that both outs have not had their bye, and the 2 ins have. So extra on field. I also think the two outs have made their cash, and maybe Fyfe has 100k. But that’s anyone’s guess Steele is a leap of faith. Hasn’t done enough to deserve to be called a premo this season, but his history tells us he is.
Second option
Out Baker and Atkins
In. Brayshaw and Mullin
Brayshaw feels like he is hitting his straps. Also had his bye. Going early on Mullin is a risk. But no other rookie is jumping out at me.
Pull the trigger this week or wait another week for potential price drops:-
Out – Weddle / Mitchell
In – L Ryan / Sinclair
TU – Yes
TD – No
Gidday PB, TD for me.
Ryan BE 146 -$15K. Sinclair price wont change much
Mitchell BE31 +$16K Weddle BE-7 +$33K
I suppose it comes down to if your playing for ranking or H-H
-atkins and zeibell for wood and Ryan
results in having 10 trades and $400 in bank left
TU: yes good idea
TD: no bad idea, figure something else out
all ideas welcome
Just wanted to put it out there that it Can be very tricky to offer advice and confidently vote on alot of TU and TD comments at this time of year so everyone should just take the TU/TD votes with a grain of salt and use it purely as a guide as we when voting don’t always have the full picture of your team… we don’t know the number of rookies left onfield, trades remaining, cash gen situation etc.. so take into account the votes but at the end of day back your gut and instinct because you know your overall structure the best 🙂
Any rookies on the bubble this week?
What do we think?
TU trade ziebell for Lloyd
TD trade Grundy to Cameron
Or keep both of them and save trades
Can someone please tell me who I should focus on getting rid of… I have way to many rookies that are giving me mediocre scores and trying to get to full premo will be mission impossible by the looks
Help me Supercoach gods!!!
T. Stewart, N. Daicos, J. Dawson, D. Wilmot, C. McKenna, A. Cincotta (S. Mitchell, T. Young)
Z. Merrett, R. Laird, C. Serong, E. Gulden, J. De Goey (obviously trade), T. Mitchell, W. Ashcroft, G. Wardlaw (R. Angwin, C. Blakely, C. Constable)
R. Marshall, T. English (K. Briggs)
J. Dunkley, T. Taranto, C. Rozee, S. Coniglio, H. Sheezel, D. Williams (E. Ford, M. Roberts)
200k ITB and 12 trades
Any trade suggestion will help! Mainly want players that will cover me R15 looking at my team now
Cheers!!
Your backline is where the trades need to be made.
Cincotta to Mullin +133k =333k ITB
McKenna to Luke Ryan -260k = 73k ITB
De Goey to either Andy Brayshaw or Lachie Neale – both affordable and about the same price.
I know Mullin is a risk of not playing after the bye due to the returning Cats but you have Mitchell on the bench and he is a better option on field than McKenna/Cincotta.
Backline would be:
Stewart Daicos Dawson Ryan Wilmot Mitchell (Young Mullin)
Round 15 is going to be a problem for most people including me!
You’re a weapon, thanks for the help!
Trade out round 15 rookies first.
Could do out Young > Mullin and then
Sheezel to Def, Gulden to forward, wilmont mid.
Then do Cincotta + All cash for rd12 bye premo def (Ryan/Lloyd)
Potentially now have +2 premos playing rd 15
T/U: Sheezel to Neale
T/D: Sheezel and Ashcroft to Lloyd and Sinclair
Who is a higher priority to get in this week?
TU: Neale
TD: Luke Ryan
T/U:
Ziebell > Brayshaw
Or
T/D:
S.Mitchell > Brayshaw
S. Simpson > Mullin
who is going to score more for the year
TU- neale
TD- Serong
DEF: Daicos, Sinclair, Dale, Ridley, Day, Weddle
(Cincotta, Constable)
MID: Oliver, Serong, Anderson, Walsh, Mitchell, Steele, Worpel, Wardlaw
(Long, Simpson, Sharp)
RUC: English, Witts
(Ryan)
FWD: Dunkley, Rozee, Coniglio, Smith, Sheezel, Mitchell
(Ford, McAndrew)
15 Trades 1 Boost 23k
Not to sure where to go from here any advice much appreciated!
Sheezel to Sinclair 1 trade straight swap
Yes or No
$310k in bank and 15 Trades left
B: Sicily, Daicos, Dawson,T.Stewart, J. Lloyd, H. Sheezal (Constable, Cowan)
M: Bontempelli, Merrrett, Laird, T.Mitchell, S.Coniglio, W. Ashcroft, G.Wardlaw, A Cincotta (Angwin, Al Davey, H.Sharp)
R: Tim English, Marshall (Madden)
F: Dunkley, Taranto, Rozee, Ziebell, D.Cameron, S,Mitchell (Ford, Drury)
Any help wil be much appreciated, not sure what to do so may hold but any advice would really appreciate
Does anyone know the timeline for Alastair Clarkson’s time off? Cheers
Within weeks according to 7 news after North Melbourne has spent the day making plans for Alastair Clarkson’s return to Arden Street.
Ratkins and T.Young for Neale and Mullin?
10 trades left 478k itb.
Def: Stewart,Naicos,Dawson,Wilkie,Day,Sheezel
(Wilmot,Atkins)
Mid:Bont,Tracc,Laird,Taranto,Green,Sheed,Ashcroft,Callaghan,(Baker,Davey,Sharp)
Ruck :Gawn,Briggs,(Reidy)
Fwd:Dunkley,Rozee,Gulden,King,Williams,Van Rooyen (Mitchell,Ford)
Thinking I want to trade Sheezel,Baker,Ashcroft out for Oliver,Dale,Dameron.
Not playing for overall or leagues really, just to get the best team I can.
T/u- good plan
T/d – you idiot,you’ll only have 7 trades left!
Went td, as your plan is to trade in three players who are yet to have their bye. Have a look at free players( serong, Brayshaw Ryan), Sydney players (Lloyd , Warner) Brisbane ( Neale) and st Kilda(Sinclair or Steele) .
All these options play an extra game and will provide bye cover!
Thanks Gezza!
With those ins have 19/18 for r 14/15
Have Cally, Ratkins, Van rooyen Mitchell,Williams and Ford by then for the last three/ four upgrades. I’m kryptonite for freo players this year Darcy has been a solo wrecking ball on my year.
Probs of all those The Ultimate seagull and Sinclair are the ones I’d think about. Cheers:)
I wish you luck ,but will be very hard to get all those guys upgraded with 7 trades left, I know you not playing for overall but i’d strongly advise to keep a few trades for the last few weeks,as there is always carnage,
Good luck whichever way you go
Keep Ashcroft and trade Callahan due to byes.
Out Sheezel, Calahan, Baker
In 3 Premos from Rd12 bye (Saints, Swans, Lions, Freo)
All good upgrade options
Save a mid spot for Oliver after his bye in 2 weeks
Currently 11 trades left with 19 premo’s including Ziebell, Sheezel and Day.
Do I sideways
Ziebell, Sheezel, Simpson >
Brayshaw, Neale, Anyone under 190 k most likely Mullin
T/U – Yes, they are fake premiums get rid of them.
T/D – No, hold them and get to full premo before worrying about sideways trades.
Currently ranked about 2k. But am playing for Leagues
Went tu, and all three are out of my team( day not simpson) this week for Warner,Brayshaw and Darcy cam( helps my byes even though he off week 14).
Leaves me with 11 trades ,I’m ranked in top 6k so am playing for both, with your ambitions on league I’d probably hold a few trades in reserve for finals
Good luck
TU: Tarryn Thomas
TD: Nat Fyfe
Ginbey, Sheezel, Ziebel, Simpson->
Yeo, Neale, Dawson, Mullins
Ashcroft for Sam Walsh?
Trades
Out: ziebell & de goey
In: brayshaw & neale
Ziebell BE of 178 de goey taking a 4 week holiday to Bali. Stalls upgrade rookie cadence but they are definitely upgrades none the less but only have 2 rookies onfield and 10 trades with 1 boost. Also wonders for my bye in R14&15.
Ziebell to ridley might also be a play instead of one of neale or brayshaw. But can ridleys current role hold that’s the million dollar question
Hey, Mav.
Zieb -> Riddles was the play last week. Netted so much cash that questions around scoring stability didn’t really matter.
I’d just kick it up to a post-bye MID provided you’re still able to then get to FP.
Caminiti to Fyfe, practically a straight swap.
TU: Good Trade
TD: Upgrade to Cameron after his bye instead
Ziebell to
Tu Ryan
TD Lloyd
Both suit byes structure.
Morning, Wighty.
Hmm. That’s an interesting one.
Form and gamestyle clearly favouring Lloyd right now. He’s adapted to the Swans’ lower possession, direct corridor style which having not adapted to put him in the wilderness for a while.
Freo have come out of their shell and are playing a lower kick game and ranking at competition highs for HB chains and ball movement – which is why Ryan hasn’t had much of a ceiling of late.
As of rn, Lloyd. But it’s a season long call and Ryan only needs Freo to be put on the defensive again and a sprinkling of his signature high ceiling games will see him cover Lloyd.
Splitting hairs. Both rock solid picks. Purely a matter of personal preference/read really.
Thanks GD….dad says hi !!! LOL
Ziebell to keays anyone?
Pocket $150k, BE of 7 and back to midfield role with Adelaide assistant coach saying going forward Ben will be playing alot more midfield time… at worst could be M9/F7 with his dpp
Also thinking holding Briggs at R2 and trading gawn.. he didn’t get DPP and can’t play with Grundy in the team. Briggs is actually a very very good ruckman he keeps Flynn out from here.
TU or TD: gawn to Oliver play Briggs at R2
Briggs being good enough isn’t the issue – Riccardi as back-up is.
Nank dominated Riccardi during the 6-7 minute breaks Briggs was having. They won’t drop Briggs, but might play both he and Flynn together.
I’m going Gawn to Witts on Gawn bye, and keeping Briggs while his cash goes up. Jackson may become f6 and could go into ruck via Madden if needed.
Does anyone actually think ziebell is a keeper and just been having a bad patch? Or is it too much with Sheezle, Hall and Thomas poaching his points?
TU keep the faith
TD old man is cooked and bleeding money
Just bin at his bye for Sinc, Ryan or Lloyd. They’ll cover him and it’ll sort you for R15.
Sheezel, Hall, McDonald and him is just too many cooks. Can still have premium scores but just sharing too much economy rn.
Lost to much money by his bye Could lose you 50k in the next week possibly even more in the fortnight by R15. Gotta go this week or hold him for long term.
Atkins and Seamus Mitchell > Neale and Harrison
Leaves me with 60k in the bank, 11 trades and 3 rookies on field
I also still have a few live rookies like humphrey, briggs, wardlaw and ford so I do u guys think ill be able to finish my team??
How many rookies left to go to premos?
Humph won’t need much tacked onto him to become a premo and Briggs is set to make hella cash.
3 rookies left to go to premos and r u saying that humphrey is a premo so i dont have to trade him??
I think GD is saying you won’t have to add many $’s to Humphrey to get him up to a Premo.
so can i trade humphrey out now to get another premium
Yeah.
You’ll be able to finish a team, Noah. Good stuff.
thanks mate, ur support goes crazy
Yeah you get there with those cows.
I find it helpful to look at my on field rookies, the gap to $575k (noting these will be your lower players), the revenue your bench cows -$125k can produce (as you wouldn’t be paying a higher price rookie), and the trades you’d need to do that.
I have 10 trades left, but struggling with remaining cows. Ashcroft and Callaghan still on field (-$322k). $70k ITB, bench cows of Mitchell and Cincotta (+$355k). Finished team with 6 trades remaining post Round 15.
I play largely for league, so with this context; 4 rounds to finals from there, budgeting 1 injury trade every 2 weeks (between R16, 17, 18, 19), will leave me with 4 trades for finals.
It’s a bit tight for me, so I might have to keep Ashcroft closer to finals in case of too many injuries and needing to save the two trades.
Ashcroft and Sheezel to Lloyd and Sinclair/Ryan?
T/U: Yes
T/D: No
Ok time for a boom or bust trade
Hear me out on this
Trade Marshall out to a low price rookie as I’ve already got English & Briggs
With the extra 500k I’ll upgrade
S Mitchell to H Young
O Baker to Neale
Am I crazy
Really difficult to reply without knowing:
How many rookies left to upgrade?
How many trades left?
Cash gen on bench?
Bench cover as you are removing 2 players who are playing regularly?
Are you confident that Briggs stays No 1 ruck at GWS otherwise you will need at least one trade, maybe two, to upgrade him?
The trades are definitely upgrades and remove a R14 and a R15 player from bye structure.
Ya. Hard to answer without the context of your team, like Owen said.
Not opposed to a Briggs R2 slot move but Tingles and RoMo are R1&2 and RoMo has just come off his bye, heading into a tasty month’s fixture and is widely owned.
Yes:
Better to go English to Jackson (RF and already had his bye) if you want some extra $$$
Heinous suggestion.
Trade R1? Yeah, no.
Alright – this has been brewing. I need to jump start my season and there’s not much to lose.
Context: 14 trades left, 1 boost left, 140K ITB
Ashcroft > Neale
Day > Cameron via DPP
Ziebell > Yeo
Ratkins > Fyfe via DPP
Next week, this will look transition into:
Ginbey > Sinclair
Fyfe, Wardlaw and Yeo as bench cover
Humphrey M8.
More of a next week proposition, but I’m really hoping Ginbey scores really well to justify keeping him lol. I would rather trade Sheezel to Sinclair because my R15 bye mess becomes A LOT easier to manage.
OPTION 1:
OUT: Sheezel, Ziebell, Ashcroft, Day
IN: Neale, Sinclair, D Cameron, Fyfe
NEXT WEEK: Ginbey > L Ryan
Full premo DEF, Wardlaw M8, Humphrey F6
OPTION 2:
OUT: Atkins, Ziebell, Ashcroft, Day
IN: Neale, Yeo, D Cameron, Fyfe
NEXT WEEK: Ginbey > L Ryan
Yeo D6, Humphrey M8, Sheezel F6
TU: Option 1
TD: Option 2
Is Mullin worth trading in to have on bench….no other rookie who’s still cheap is really sticking out
TU: yes
TD: no
Only $102k. Frees up cash
I’d look carefully at your team before doing so. His basement price means he’ll give you the most bang for buck but you’ve gotta be prepared to have him not play. Either have trades in the back pocket or have other, more reliable bench cover you’re keeping.
Howdy all, haven’t watched many Freo games of late. This might be one for the keen Docker observer…
I’m looking at bringing in either L. Ryan or H .Young, both been scoring similar the past month.
Who would you bring in right now or is it pretty much a 50/50? Young is more of a POD so that’s a bonus.
Sorry, should have done the TU / TD =)
TU: L. Ryan
TD: H. Young
Need help with Sheezel, as he’s dropping in price
TU: Trade to a premium probably Rozee/Butters
TD: Keep him as a premium
I’ve gone to darcy cam
Do I trade Sheezel now or wait until his bye round
TU: Trade now
TD: Wait until his bye round
I’m trading out Ziebel to Lloyd but is Himmelberg back to his defensive role?
Could be a steal at $369k…
I could just gofor Himmelberg instead of Lloyd and bank $150k?
TU Lloyd
TD Himmelberg
DEF: Daicos, Sic, Lloyd, Sheezel, Mitchell, Weddle (Michallaney, Chesser)
MID: Oliver, Bont, Merrett, Laird, Macrae, Baker, Dawson, Humphfrey (Roberts, Simpson, Cont)
RUC: English, Romo (Briggs)
FWD: Dunkley, Rozee, Taranto, Gulden, Zieball, Ford
(Van Roo, Madden)
8 Trades 246,400 ITB
GD thoughts? I plan to trade baker and Michallaney to braysahw and mullin then get stewart next week
Ziebell, De Goey, Weddle > Neale, Lloyd, Fyfe.
Fyfe or Humphrey would have to be my F6 / M8 until i upgrade one of them to mills.
Have 6 trades after the change. Other upgrade ill do is Ford, Briggs to $650k mid premo.
Tu: go for it
Td: no, better to keep ziebell over fyfe (if he continues to spud up ill move him to DCam at the r15 bye)
Either fyfe or humphrey can play as my m8 or f6 (other is on bench).
Last on field upgrade after this trade would be ford
Weddle seems to be going allright. Plays this week BE 38.
DeGoey to Neale.
Trading Ziebel with so few trades maybe a luxury.
Is top 6 Fwds set now or will D.Cam sneak in there in lieu of Errol?
TU – D.Cam
TD – Errol
Does your 6 include Taranto, Dunkley, Rozee, Macrae?
I am not sure of Coniglio. Others?
Yeh essentially in order of highest avg thus far.
Dunk, Tar, Butt, Macr, Roz, ??
Who to trade in for Degoey?
T/U A Brayshaw
T/D L Neale
Team completed with 3 trades is unfortunately my situation.
These two trades don’t effect anything in regards to trades or upgrades.
Tu) Hold De Goey, dead rookie -> Fyfe. Fyfe looped off bench when JDG back (assuming he hasn’t gotten injured).
Td) De Goey -> Neale
DEF: Daicos, Sinclair, Dale, Ridley, Day, Weddle
(Cincotta, Constable)
MID: Oliver, Serong, Anderson, Walsh, Mitchell, Steele, Worpel, Wardlaw
(Long, Simpson, Sharp)
RUC: English, Witts
(Ryan)
FWD: Dunkley, Rozee, Coniglio, Smith, Sheezel, Mitchell
(Ford, McAndrew)
15 Trades 1 Boost 23k
Not to sure where to go from here any advice much appreciated!
I think a key thing to think about is that you have only 14 players by my count for R15. So across the next 3 weeks you need to be focusing on bringing in players that have had their bye.
If he is selected in R14, the easy one is Simpson to Mullin. That will give you 122k 23k = 145k
With Ryan losing money, I would suggest taking him down to Madden. That’s another 223k. I think you use that money on DCam so that you have ruck cover. With that sort of bank it could be a dead rookie like Sharp. Probably a R15 trade because of Cameron’s bye, but could consider this week so Ryan doesn’t lose money.
Even though they still have money to make, would consider Weddle and Mitchell as trades in R14 to bring in a premo who has had their bye.
T/U:
Ziebell > Brayshaw
Sheezel > Neale
Simpson > 189k or less rookie
TD:
Ziebell > Brayshaw
Weddle > Neale
S.Mitchell > 126k or less rookie
cowan, atkins, humphrey, seamus mitchell > lloyd, neale, harrison and bailey macdonald.
2 rookies left on field, 9 trades left, 20k itb and 0 boosts
If you had to keep one of these 2 players, byes don’t matter, which one would you keep?
T/U Humphrey
T/D Sheezel
Thoughts on Atkins to Dawson and Sheezel to D Cameron?
Or any other ideas, had 307k so atkins to Dawson and sheezel straight swap to Cameron.
Trade
TU: sheezel
TD: gawn
TU: gawn – dale
TD: sheezel – keays
Dale nice now that Richards is gone but are you gonna be good for the byes bringing in two pre-bye players, Tully?
A bunch of great options from Freo, St Kila and Sydney coming in off a rest.
Yeah can’t do both of the above an going dale does stretch the 15 bye but I think he’s value with Johan and richards out. Keays I’m still unsure if he can hold down a midfield spot for long? I suspect he does but that’s probably more in hope than any evidence to support it I guess
Can only bring in 1 this week, and the other next week.
TU: Neale this week, Sinclair next week
TD: Sinclair this week, Neale next week
Who to trade out this week first, then next week? Understanding that I’ll be trading them out early before their byes.
TU: Day out this week, Sheezel out next week
TD: Sheezel out this week, Day out next week
Is it worth holding De Goey? Only have 10 trades left.
TU: Ziebell -> Dale (results in currently having 17 playing in round 15)
TD: Ziebell -> Sinclair
TU
Out – Sheezel, Ziebell, S Mitchell
In – Neale, Serong, Keays
TD
Out – Sheezel, Ziebell
In – Neale, Serong
Who do we think scores the most from here?
TU Serong
TD Neale
Comment Brayshaw
Brayshaw
cowan, atkins, humphrey, seamus mitchell > lloyd, neale, harrison and bailey macdonald.
2 rookies left on field, 9 trades left, 25k itb and 0 boosts
With so few trades left I would be leaving Humphrey and Mitchell alone.
Good BE’s and playing which Harrison and Macdonald may not be.
T/U: Ryan
T/D: Sinclair
Which option to take with 7 trades left and 2 off full premo.
Tu – fyfe as f6- have 18-21 on field in r14 (if cincotta, rowston and sharp are named) and 18-19 on field in r15 post trades.
Td: keays as f6. Have 17-20 on field in r14 (if Rowston, Cincotta and sharp are named) and 18 on field in r15.
Comment: keep Ziebell as d6. 18-21 on field r14 (if mullin, rowston, sharp named) and 17-18 in r15 if mullin or sharp is named amd i trade Ziebell or Sheez too
Trade 1 locked in… Ziebell (who’s dropping cash) to Neale. 14 trades remaining, $13k ITB. Unfortunately I’m $30k short of being able to get De Goey straight to Dawson this week and don’t have any boosts remaining, so am faced with the following options.
TU: De Goey to D.Cameron (BE 88) now, then waiting a few rounds for Briggs (R3) to ripen before swapping him for Dawson (BE 112 but against West Coast)
TD: Skip Cameron and use two trades next week to sell De Goey and S.Mitchell/JVR to Dawson and a rookie?
The alternative to Neale maybe C. Warner. A bit cheaper. Does not have the ceiling of Neale but virtually 100 plus five weeks in a row and has had his bye.
Big Warner fan but I can’t bring myself to trade him back in after I ditched him in Rd4 following his slow start 🙁
Nervous Cameron could have a quiet one against Gawn/Grundy, so option 3 is:
De Goey & Ziebell out, Neale and Keays in. $180k ITB to bring in Dawson after his bye.
Not sure if you know you get three trades in each bye week. So you don’t need the boost.
Ziebel out for…
TU: Lloyd
TD: Himmelberg + $150k
EDIT: The $150k leftover will help me massively turn someone like Sheezel into Oliver after his bye
Yeah, but you’re then stuck with Himmelberg who has the dreaded Rd 15 bye.
I know Walsh could dip a touch over the next two but I have to make the trade this week. Feel free to comment any other MID options under 550k.
T/U: Steele. No bye to come. SHOULD be able to straight trade Day for Clarry in the next couple weeks.
T/D: Walsh. Bye to come, bye structure is good so not too concerned about him missing. MIGHT be able to straight trade Day for Clarry in the next couple weeks. This will be more dependent on scores affecting breakevens.
Eyeing off Mills for M8 so these two guys will take M7. Current set up.
Bont, Laird, Neale, Brayshaw, Greene, Day/Clarry, Steele/Walsh, Humphrey/Mills
Keays?
Steele likely to fall further….I’m looking at him to Walsh r15.
Ziebel out. Need the cash and suits the last bye round better. In
TU: Keays. Back to mids hopefully. Can easily out perform his price, just needs the mid time. Will probably be M8 for a few rounds before being M9/F7 cover for the remainder.
T/D: Fyfe + $150K. Dont have much MITB atm so would be used in round 15 for better upgrades when Briggs/Baker/Cincotta go. Again handy M9/F7 cover at a cheaper price but injury concern. I havent watched many Freo games. Any supporters or maybe FT got any insight into his role now/going forward? Is Brodie likely to come back and effect his CBA or has he been Matt Crouch’d?
Strapped for cash. Thoughts on these trades:
– Wilmot to Mullin & Cincotta to Keays.
Leaves 88k ITB but only 8 trades left and 3 rookies still fielded post-bye.
As a Geelong supporter, I’m telling you Mullin won’t get a game in Geelong’s next match. It has been all but clarified that Dangerfield, Duncan and Holmes will all be returning. And going through our team who played the Bulldogs last week Mullin would most likely be the first to come out of that side. So if anyone is selecting Mullin to actually play, tread carefully!
Is Sam Sturt worth it, as a cheap rookie to have on bench. I bought in Ryan, Brayshaw and Sturt for Baker, Atkins and Zeibell, keeping in mind all 3 have had theyre bye.
TU: Yay
TD: Nay
I have Sturt thinking of trading him out.
Which teams at this point in the season are no longer SC relevant. I have no WCE, Carlton, Sydney or Essendon (maybe Merrett after the bye) players with North Melbourne next on the list.
De goey to Neale
Mitchell to Keays
T/U – Do it
T/D – No way
Straight up need help with my team.
Playing for league and just to stay in the top 8.
10 trades / 16k itb / 1 boost
Def: Daic, Dawson, Ridley, Sheez, Day, Atkins (Wilmot, Const)
Mid: Zerret, Laird, Neale, Rowell, Green, Steele, Cogs, Cincotta (Long, Sharp, Roberts)
Ruck: Marshall, Gawn (Madden)
Fwd: Dunks, Taranto, Macrae, Gulden, Rozee, Humphry (Mitchell, Ford)
Not really sure what to do next, or where to prioritise upgrades.
Feel like I’m going to struggle to make full premo.
Any suggestions???
Keays?
Fwds are ok. May as well stick with Gawn and Day for the time being.
You probably need to gamble with a mid pricer to remove Atkins, Wilmot, Cincotta and co. Those mentioned on this site like Fyffe, Keays, Himmelberg and others you can identify and hope 1 or 2 come good.
The good policeman from GCS surely gets a game soon….another 30+ disposals. GCS will be wanting to get some trade currency for him over the second half of the season.
Already going atkins > keays
is it worth also doing weddle>Fyfe
Tu: do it
Td: save the trade
Whats that leave you trade and MITB afterward? Also how many rookies would be on field if this wasnt a bye round?
Looks to be hell of alot of bringing keays in.. might have to pass on him now and anti POD it and hope I haven’t missed a good one going forward
Now that the Rat has fallen over, I want a RUCK/FORWARD to give cover for Marshall and Briggs. There seems to be a lot of love for D. Cameron but I must admit that I’m leaning more towards Luke Jackson, who’s already had his bye and is leading the Darcy-less Dockers, at least for the short term.
TU – Darcy Cameron
TD – Luke Jackson
Sheezel and Ziebell > Sinclair and Lloyd
Brings me down to 8 trades
TU: Do it
TD: Don’t
Thoughts on Wilmot & Mitchell to Fyfe & Keays?
Who to Trade Out?
TU: Cincotta
TD: Sturt
Out
TU: day
TD sheezel
Who is the most likely of the following
Thumbs up…Neale
Thumbs down…Steele
Looking forward to the gurus guide.
Tu – Darcy Cameron
Td – Elliot Yeo
Who do I trade out??
TU: Rory Atkins
TD: Seamus Mitchell
Is harvey harrison the best rookie downgrade option this week, I already have mullin, wardlaw, ford.
Any suggestions??
Baker, Ashcroft, Ziebell, Sheezel
to
Mullin(D8), Neale, Dawson Lloyd
TU: Pull the trigger
TD: Reconsider
Sheezel and Ashcroft
for
Macrae and Neale
Looking at taking a risk on one of these two as both have DPP and frees up some cash for my last few upgrades.
TU : Keays
TD : Fyfe
Ziebell Day Sheezel Mitchell > Dawson Brayshaw Darcy Cameron Melican
Leaves me with 4 upgrades (Weddle, Ashcroft, Humphrey, Briggs) and 11 trades to go
TU: Yes do it
TD: No dont
3 sideways trades is too many.
Not sure they are sideways though? Dawson and Brayshaw are genuine keepers, significant upgrades on Ziebell and Sheezel. DC will be great coverage going forward also. With 11 trades I think Mr Hardwick is in a position to do this.
Sheezel+Ashcroft > Dale+Keays
TU- Yes
TD- No
(will leave me with 8 trades)
Playing for league not overall so bye rounds not a concern – Bring in (probably for Aitkins)
T/U Wardlaw
T/D Fyfe
10 trades left, 4 trades to full premo, 150k ITB
Should I trade Gawn – Briggs and hope he turns into a keeper to give me 300k for remaining upgrades over coming rounds?
Current trades for this week are degoey, ziebell – neale, lloyd
Which Cameron scores better rest of season?
TU Jeremy Cameron
TD Darcy Cameron
Cheers
T/U – De Goey & Ziebell to Neale & Fyfe
T/D – De Goey & Ziebell to Neale & Dale
T/D seems sideways, but some upside with Richards out (plus I have no RD 15 DEF)
Who out for Brayshaw (Freo)
TU Wood (Saints)
TD Humphrey (Suns)
T/U: Sinclair
T/D: Steele
DEF: Stewart, Daicos, Dawson, Ziebell, Sheezel, Weddle (Cincotta, Constable)
MID: Bont, Oliver, Merrett, Laird, Macrae, Green, Steele, Baker (Baker, McLean, A.Davey)
RUC: Marshall, Gawn (Madden)
FWD: Dunkley, Taranto, Rozee, Cogs, Humphries, Ford (JVR, S.Mitchell)
Before trades: $201,900 ITB – 17 trades left (three boosts)
Any feedback/advice appericated
TU: Melican
TD: Maric (via DPP)
Hi All, which rookie is the best to go early on?
I’d honestly raw dog Maric (WCE, 102k). Our injuries are ridiculous and MSD players are usually ready to be thrown in the deep end. He’ll get a go.
Thanks GB. My thoughts exactly
TU Dale + Melican
TD Dawson + Maric
TU: Maric
TD: Harvey Harrison
Sheezel ->
TU: D.Cameron
TD: Himmelberg or Keays + $100k
Which rookie should go first?
Mitchell, Wilmot, Weddle?
Depends on your rd15 bye cover. All 3 play that round
14 Trades left
TU : Ziebell and Sheezel to L Ryan and Yeo
TD : Just do Ziebell to Ryan
Is Lachie Neale a must have this week?
I have had him in and out of my side all week but I have doubts.
T/U Yes, he is a must have
T/D No, would be good to get but not a must have
