  1. Nada this week, will have 18 if Preuss can crack the seniors (or if Carroll can sneak back into the Blues 22). Just want one more game from the big fella, maybe two if I get a bit greedy – then he’ll become Tom Stewart and the team is done.

  2. TU; Make 3 trades & finish off my midfield with Laird

    TD; Hold fire considering my rookies still have more money to make

  3. Is treloar a keeper?
    TU yes
    TD Luxury trade to bont/English

    Or is it far to early for a luxury trade or that

  4. Two trades left to complete my team. With a primo mid.

    Hopefully there is a good defensive downgrade option

      1. Bought Wehr in this week. He’s at D7

        Have O’driscoll at D8 so I’m hoping to cash him out and upgrade a mid or a forward

  5. Which two forwards?

    TU: English and Heeney
    TD: Parker and Bont

    Comment: third trade to bring in Teakle allowing for Bont and English

  6. Holding Daicos. I think I’ll upgrade him in Rd 15 to make the most of his BE.

    The only trade I may make is bringing in Juddy if I can’t get 18.

    1. Out of curiosity. 128K ITB.

      TU:
      This round
      Daicos>Dawson
      Hamilton>Clarke

      TD:
      After Rd 15
      Daicos >Stewart

  7. Is cogs a legitimate option for last fwd spot? I traded him out 4 weeks ago so it hurts a little ha ha ha :'(

    TU: get him spikes got him back firing
    TD: pass

    1. I’m in the exact same position mate, think we get him back. More so coz it hurts us so much when he performs. in about 60% of sides still. Fck I hate Leon Cameron!

      3

      1
    2. Cogs is a downhill skier, don’t get sucked in by monster games vs Wet Toast and North. I wouldn’t be looking to get him, far better options out there. He hasn’t tonned up once against top 8 teams this year.

  8. Duncan too risky ?

    $440K

    WestCoast next week and in the SC grand final..

    It’s him or Himmelberg for F6.

    T/U Himmelberg

    T/D Duncan.

    1. As a Cats supporter, it all depends where Scott plays Duncan.

      If he has that half back distributor role, I would pick him every day of the week but we are talking Chris Scott.

      I was also worried that Scott might give him a week off, so I decided it was just too risky to pick him.

      3

      1. I was talking about Cameron.

        Since he’s got that high ceiling

        Duncan I think is a stay away

        1

        1
    2. Himmel berg is a juicy option- he is dominating in his new position- I would of nabbed him at his last week price – now it’s a 50/50 but I’m considering.

      8

      1
  9. Would love to hear some thoughts on himmelberg.

    Playing a back role im pretty sure (only watched half of the last quarter this week) and that score obviously cant just be overlooked.

    A one-off game or actually an option?

    1. Could well go straight back to attack when Haynes returns next week. Haynes played VFL yesterday.

      1. I think Wehr got Haynes spot atm and not Himmelberg. Why change what is currently working well for them. New interim coach seems to see things differently to Cameron.

        6

        0
        1. Himmelberg looks like he is playing Haynes old role. I’ll wait and see what happens when Haynes comes back in which may be as early as next week. Also Taranto due back, does he affect Cognilio?

          0

          0
    2. Yep. Played solely defence last couple of weeks.
      I am not so sure you can take much notice of the North game. We have no forward line.
      Davis and Haynes should return very very soon so could see him back to being a forward.
      Definition of high risk high reward.
      I seriously considered him and in the end went Nah.
      Maybe you are braver than me.

  10. Looking to get Treloar as my final forward worth to get or look else where?

    TU: Yes get him worth it

    TD: Look elsewhere

    12

    23
  11. Trade Lloyd out?

    TU: Yes not doing kick in anymore will lose points and cash

    TD: No hold him come out better with a better score

    1. Steele supposedly back in 2 weeks.. a potential move if Steele was out for longer but it would be a pass on my end!

  12. Last forward spot

    TU: Bont
    TD: Parker

    Current forwards are Cogs, Dunks, Butters, Brodie & English (plus 3 rookies)
    Comment for any other forward premiums worth considering……

    31

    16
  13. With no trades I have a max of 21 this week but that includes 6 of, Preuss, Wehr, Stephens, Owens, Rioli, Clarke, Rosas so could be 15 if Im unlucky.

    My team is also very close to done as I have Vlastuin D7, Cripps M8, Preuss R2 but forward line I have Butters F5. So my main target is English however to get him this week I would have to do something like Daicos, Rioli, Rosas to English, 102k, 102k.

    Would complete my team with 9 trades left but makes me worse for this round I think, and Daicos and Rosas still have some pretty good cash to make, and I have almost no cash generation left.

    TU: Do it, don’t need cash if your team is done.
    TD: Wait a week or 2, English will drop anyway

    1

    24
  14. Already have 6 Defenders – Stewart, Sicily, Sinclair, Hewett, Crisp, Short. I feel like Docherty is a very solid option this week based on form and BE (65) and no mids are sceaming out at me!!

    Is it worth bringing him in and moving one of the other into midfield?? It will make them M8.

    Current Mids – Neale, Oliver, Miller, Laird, Macrae, Cripps, Petracca

    T/U – Get Doch.

    T/D – Get a Brayshaw / Walsh / Jelly / Mills / Merrett

    7

    22
  15. I have had Gawn since the start but I am seriously thinking about trading Gawn to Witts.

    It’s almost a straight swap and will give me 18 on field this week.

    I also think Witts will average about the same as Gawn from here on and you get one extra game from Witts.

    Except for the 198 against Sydney, Gawn has really struggled since R8, 4 scores under 100.

    T/U Trade Gawn to Witts

    T/D Hold Gawn

  16. Dusty battling an illness and in doubt for Thursday. Could be good chance for Rioli Jnr to come back?

    13

    2
  17. Last FWD spot, money is tight.

    T/U – Cogs / Himmelberg

    T/D – Wait for Bont to be a bit cheaper.

    Am a bit concerned and Bont’s shoulder issues

    21

    11
  18. Starting with 20 but likely 17, as I have Preuss and M. Rioli, and I think Owens is ruled out (concussion), but 14 of those are premiums (15 if Preuss plays).

    Here’s what I’d have after my two planned trades (R/F loop for L. Jackson and Touk in for Hobbs):

    D: Sicily / Dawson / Short / Ridley / Hewett / Sinclair // Daicos / Wehr
    M: Oliver / Neale / Laird / Cripps / Macrae / Brayshaw (Freo) / Miller / Petracca
    // Clark / Rioli / Owens
    R: Witts / Preuss // Teakle
    F: English / Brodie / Cameron / Dunkley / Butters / Heeney // Jeffrey / N. Long

    That’d leave me with 9 trades and $237k. I kind of want to get Cogs in, but would have to use my final boost as I’m $10k short of doing a straight upgrade (leaving me with 7 trades and no cash).

    I’m still planning on luxury DPP coverage trades for M9-D7 and M10-F7, which means I’ll be better equipped to handle General Soreness. If Preuss can’t get back in the line-up, upgrading him would be a higher priority.

    TU: Use the boost, get Cogs in – coach says he’ll play midfield.
    TD: Keep the boost for finals.

    11

    4
    1. If you use that boost on Rioli or Clark to a 102k def/mid then you’ll set yourself up with Daicos as that D7/M9 and Heeney, Butters or Cogs as the F7/M10

      1

      0
  19. I was initially planning to straight swap Daicos to Miller as my last upgrade. But, I can do an extra trade Curtis to Clark and some DPP magic and trade Sam De Koning to Miller instead. Daicos can be my D7/M9

    TU; Go for it
    TD; Save the trade straight swap Daicos

    18

    6
  20. I’ll get both within next few weeks, but who is more important to get this week
    TU – Bont
    TD – English (will probably score more but will probably lose more cash)

    11

    10
  21. Need to get rid of Hayes/Carroll/Rioli types to get 18 on field so money is tight.

    Who is the best value FWD for the rest of the year?

    TU – Heeney
    TD – Duncan

    4

    15
  22. Have been loving Hobbs’ work lately but he’s the only way I can get Bont in

    TU: Keep Hobbs, great M/F cover
    TD: Trade Hobbs, he was only ever a cash cow

    2

    21
  23. Am I crazy for wanting to trade Butters to Cogs?

    I’ve got 10 trades, am full premo, and have the numbers on field this week already, so it would be a ‘luxury’ trade.

    Butters CBA’s down on the weekend, plus it looks like PA is reverting back to Boak in there. Cogs obviously can’t play WC/NM every week, but the role looks so consistent now, and it’s becoming a problem not having him.

    3

    12
  24. Can complete my team this week and still have 11 trades left, would like to hold Daicos as he has cash to make still though.

    Out – N. Daicos, S. Hayes, C. Jamieson & N. Martin
    In – K. Dawson, B. Teakle, T. English & M. Bontempelli

    Would then look at trading Butters to Darcy when he bottoms out in price and having English forward with Teakle as DPP. Would also try and get Petracca as an M9 loop.

    TU – Good trades/plan
    TD – Revisit, not the best options

    15

    0
  25. Def: Stewart, Sicily, Sinclair, Hewett, Dawson, Short (Wehr, W.Kelly)

    Mid: Clarry, Neale, Macrae, Miller, Cripps, Zerrett, Daicos, Clark (Owens, Rioli, Hough)

    R: Gawn, Cameron (Hayes)

    FWD: English, Dunks, Treloar, Parker, Butters, McCartin (Rosas, C.MacDonald)

    14 trades left. $344k ITB.

    TU: MacDonald, Hayes > Teakle, Laird
    TD: Hayes, Daicos, MacDonald > Laird, Teakle, Cogs

    Any other suggestions welcome too! Somewhat would like to hold Daicos and McCartin but not sure that’s necessary

    1. 2nd option is a very strong set of trades.

      You’ll have 1x premo spot left and 11 trades. Phenomenal work, Hogan.

      1. Thanks GD! I’m also tempted to get Himmelberg in – would this only be worth it if he is a keeper?

        0

        0
        1. Yeah. Contemplating that as well.

          In his current role he’s a FWD keeper, problem is whether it’s worth holding off and grabbing Bont instead.

          1

          0
          1. Any chance he gets DPP rd 18?

            Would make a pretty good F/D7 with Bazzo as your swing/loop/hopefully playing

  26. Good chance D’Ambrosio from the bombers gets a go sooner- rather than later.
    Played well on the weekend with 32 possessions off half back, 102k defender.
    How good would that cash generation go when we’re all looking to trade McCartin & DeKoning.
    Got a feeling he might be straight in this week!

    1. Great call mate, I saw his highlights from that game and he is super slick of the half back line. Could potentially score quite well. Can see Essendon bringing him in for Cutler who played a half back role on weekend.

          1. Parish – “We’ll just have to see how it settles & we’ll get a better idea as the week goes on.”
            “He’s pretty good. He had a pretty significant corkie pretty early in the game and he’s battled through it for a while. We got him to spend time forward. In the end it got too much for him.

            “It’s too early to tell. We’ll just have to see how it settles. Corkies will be pretty sore for 2-3 days, then we’ll start to get it moving and get a better idea as the week goes on.”
            Ben Rutten

            A Friday game but he’ll have had a 7 day break

            1. Essendon: Parish – fluid drained from calf, initially couldn’t move after the corkie, on the move now, wants to play Friday

  27. Would not usually go down this path but can afford and am considering Zorko (Inj. and bye) to D.Short and Brodie (possible role change and bye) to English. Will leave me 12 trades and an extra 2 premos playing this week (19 in total).

    5

    3
    1. Zorko, yes, has to go but would definitely not be trading Brodie. Still played a pure MID role the other round, just had some use issues which dropped him below a ton.

      Averaging 105 and still Top 6.

      Find another way to get English.

  28. I would have max 15 players this week so generate some cash for Rd15 trades, Curtis and Butler out for $102k loopholes is the way I am going, should give me around $270k itb. One more spot to fill FWD for full premo, Hayes on bench to live one more round.
    T/U can you fill 18 players Rd14
    T/D no hope getting 18 players Rd14

    5

    2
    1. I’d try to get as close to 18 as you can, Waldorf.

      This’ll be the easiest bye for most and unlike last week fielding less than 18 will be very uncompetitive.

      You should be able to still make a push for 18 and build some bank as well. Just wait for sheets.

      Could also post your full team and I’m sure people would happily throw some ideas around.

  29. Who to trade out to a premium this week?
    Most likely 3 games + bye left of D. Cameron before Grundy comes back in, Daicos role shouldnt change from last couple weeks, could be great cover and more money to make
    TU- Daicos
    TD- D. Cameron
    Or Both?

    3

    1
    1. I would think that Cameron would keep his spot in Collingwood when Grundy comes back but might not get the same SC points

      3

      0
    2. Really depends on your team. Daicos is as reliable D7/M9 out there I’d look to keep him in that swing role after his bye

      Cameron has made good money and now seems a great time get +1 premo game to add to your score

      1

    1. Nope, not a problem at all. The Blues are the best clearance and CP side in the comp atm.

  30. Has the real Whitfield re-emerged? First game under Spike, first ton for the year & looked like the Lachie of old!

    Only $428K, BE 86, DPP status & POD to boot.

    TU: Yes, it’s an educated punt

    TD: No, there are better options

    11

    18
  31. Thinking of going
    Out: N.Daicos, Butters, Hamilton
    In: Laird, Bont, D’Ambrosio

    Leaves me with $800 in the bank with 8 trades left, full premo but still have Preuss and Heeney

    TU: good trades
    TD: rethink trades

  32. Would love to here any trade thoughts guys!
    Here’s the squad
    Def – Sicily (b), Stewart, Sinclair, hewett, crisp, short. (Marchbank, Khamis (b))
    Mid – Oliver (b), Neale (b), laird, parish, McRae, touk, Cripps, Clark (Rioli, Hough, Owens)
    Ruck – Witt’s, Gawn (b) (Hayes)
    Forwards – dunks, Brodie (b), Parker, treloar, cogs, butters (rosas, Curtis(b)
    41k itb and 14 trades left. Would love to hear some ideas

    1. Hey, Charlie.

      Provided you’re alright for fielding 18 this week, the play looks to be:

      Hayes -> Teakle/Strnadica
      Rosas -> FWD rookie
      Rioli -> MID premo

      Involves sacking Rosas, who still has cash to make, but it gets you to full premo and you’ve still got Curtis as cover.

      You’ll then have 11 trades and should eventually look at getting English in as a luxury trade later on.

      Otherwise, great side and best of luck!

      4

      0
      1. Could be worth trading Curtis instead of Rosas or Rioli if they’re named just to keep the numbers for this week up. Also if English is a future plan, then Teakle is probably a better loop in the ruck with the DPP allowing English to cover both forward and ruck lines that way.

        1

        0
  33. Could use some help as I don’t want to trade out Daicos, but I am in need of my 2nd last Fwd.

    Def: Sicily (b), Sinclair, Hewett, Crisp (b), Short, Ryan(b) – Khamis, Voss
    Mid: Neale (b), Oliver (b), Macrae, Miller, Keays, Cripps, Merrett, Green – Daicos (b), Clark WC, Owens
    Ruc: Witts, Darcy(b), Begg(b)
    Fwd: Dunks, Brodie (b), Parker, Butters, Jeffrey, JHF (b) – Curtis (b), Clarke

    No trades will leave me with 17 playing
    What would you do?

    0

    0
    1. If you don’t want to get rid of Daicos it must be JHF plus bye players Curtis, Begg non players (ie Khamis) plus your cash reserve which if not substantial might not get you to a premo.

  34. No mention of Liberatore at all in this thread.

    Seems an obvious forward target this week for me behind Bont.

    Will be bringing Bont and Libba in this week.

  35. Need some help here, really want to win my league match-up this week!

    DEF: Sicily, Hewett, Crisp, Lloyd, Ridley, Daicos (Wehr, Khamis)
    MID: Oliver, Neale, Laird, Macrae, Bont, Brayshaw, Cripps, Clark (Stephens, Carroll, Owens)
    RUC: Gawn, English (Preuss)
    FWD: Dunkley, Parker, Coniglio, Butters, Mccartin, MacDonald (Rioli, Skinner)

    61k ITB, 16 trades

    Was thinking…
    TU: Lloyd, McCartin, MacDonald and Preuss > Docherty, Clarke, Miller (DPP) and Teakle
    TD: Same as above but do G Clark instead of Lloyd

  36. Trade in Himmelberg for last forward spot??

    Current forward line – Dunkley, Parker, Brodie, D.Cameron, Butters

    (Have got English in Rucks)

    T/U – Yes

    T/D – No

    Cheers Legends.

    1. I’d only do it if you have plenty of trades left. Haynes is best 22 if fit and he played VFL last week.

      0

      0
    1. Yeah mate i have had that thought process too. I think Haynes may replace Wehr. And Davis coming in will potentially mean that Himmelberg may take 2nd or 3rd tall forward which may even free him up. I love how spike is putting blokes in their best positions. So with his success down back, hopefully spike can keep him in that same intercepting role.

      main concern is that Hayes is straight back into his defensive role and himmelberg simply goes back forward.

  37. Hi All
    Just cracked season rank top 1000 (986) and want to keep momentum going.
    Current Team with $49600 and 12 trades left (1 boost)

    DEF: Sinclair, Hewett, Dawson, Short, McCartin, Wehr (Sic, Crisp)

    MID: Walsh, Macrae, Miller, Cripps, Merrett, Soligo, Clark (WC), Owens (not playing) (Oliver, Neale, Brayshaw)

    Ruck: English, Preuss?? (Gawn)

    FOR: Dunkley, Cameron (not playing), Coniglio, Butters (not playing) Hobbs, MRJ (not playing?) (Brodie, Long)

    Thinking Gawn to Witts and Butters to Himmelberg to strengthen this week.
    And see what else happens when teams drop.
    I know it’s not great trading Gawn out but I think I can get him back through Preuss at some stage. And Himmelberg is a punt also.

    TU Worth a shot
    TD think of something else.

    cheers

    1. I’m not entirely convinced Butters misses this week. He was cleared of any major facial damage and isn’t in concussion protocols somehow but might be worth holding for now.

      1

      0
    2. Gawn to Witt’s looks good.

      Seems like a great week to trade out Cameron for say Parker and get that + 1 premo score.

      Then you should do a 3rd trade to treacle to open up that RF swing.

  38. Who goes better from here on. Cannot afford the SuperCoach lovechild in bont but am a bit put off by his missing games due to injury any way. Already have English and dunks so am working my way down the list.
    Not worried about having too many bulldogs post byes. Parker has the high ceiling but libba has the consistency

    Tu. Libba

    Td. Parker

    1. I lean Bradshaw but if you can bring Doherty in and get an extra game from him, then it likely gets you more points in the long run

      3

      1
  39. Hayes – Teakle
    Rioli – Himmelberg

    Himmilberg goes to F7 which allows me to loop with Butters 6 trades left full premo

    11

    2
  40. Not sure where to post this but has anyone had a worse trade in round than this? Traded in gawn, marchbank, parish and owens. Marchbank out for 6-8, Gawn getting scans and put up a shocking score as my captain. Parish big trade in scores 50 and Owen’s concussed a combined score of just over 100.

  41. thoughts on jeremy Cameron (490k)

    I know we traditionally stay away from all key-forwards, however, I think Jeremy Cameron could be different.

    averages 91 however to finish the season he has west coast twice and north, all of which I can see him going upwards of 150 and with a strong finish as he goes for the coleman, think he can average 80-90 for the other games.

    Thinking about either him, himmelberg or Duncan this week.

    9

    3
    1. I’d go Hawkins if you’re feeling a Cats key forward, PP.

      Cameron’s injury profile is dicey and even in the blinder he recently played in the post game interview he said he was cramping the entire time.

      Those cramps have siezed up and becomes hamstring injuries in the past – I speak a former traumatised owner.

      4

      3
  42. I was looking at bringing in Bont this week but annoyingly I’m 6k short using the one trade. So my options are:

    T/U Curtis > Clarke (net 94k and hope Bont doesn’t meet his 132 be vs gws this week and grab him next week)

    T/D Curtis > 102k mid/fwd and Butters > Bont. Cheers

    12

    0
    1. With Gawn out looks like Bont will come in anyways. Swap English into the Rucks and bring in Bont forward. I have 20 on field so can wait a week on Curtis > Clarke.

  43. Is this worth a trade?

    (OUT) Petracca -> (IN) Himmelberg

    – Bank $50k with Himmelberg projected to make an extra 60k
    – $110k gain in a week with more points on field

    (Round 15/16) Upgrade Himmelberg & Daicos

    Laird and Mills

    TU or TD?

  44. Ok bit of a weird long one, but I am thinking about the below trades to attack this round / set up rest of season. Will leave me with 3 trades to hold out;

    TU (Loop Scenario) –
    Tom Hawkins as a F7 loop (with ruck and midfield coverage via dpp) as well as Brynn Teakle and 102k mid/fwd loop. Leaves weaknesses being Ryan at D6, Merrett at M8 and Butters at F6

    TD (Luxury Trade Scenario) –
    Luke Ryan to Tom Stewart, Zach Merrett to Rory Laird, Greg Clark to Teakle (leaves great players in every position bar maybe Butters at F6, but no loop for short term injuries)

    2

    9
  45. Ridley to docherty ?
    Purely luxury,
    36k
    6 trades left..
    Defence Stewart, Sicily, Sinclair, Hewett, Short, Ridley*
    Mids Neale, Oliver, Laird, Mills, Macrae, Miller, Cripps, Merret
    Rucs Witts and Gawn
    Forwards English, dunks, parker, Brodie, Cogs, Butters

    Thinking butters Ridley and Merret are weakest

    5

    3
  46. Uncertain what to do with Preuss if he is named:

    TU: Keep Preuss if named
    TD: Trade to Witts (Will leave me with 10 trades remaining)

    The rest of my best 22 are all premos

  47. Hi Legends,

    Looking for some advice please.

    Current Team:

    Def: Sinclair, Crisp, Doherty, Short, Ridley, McCartin (Wehr, S.Durdin)
    Mid: Oliver, Neale, Macrae, Hewett, Miller, Andy Brayshaw, Cripps, Petracca (Clark, C. Stephens, Carroll)
    Ruc: Witts, English, (Gawn)
    Fwd: Dunkley, Brodie, Parker, Butters, McComb, Jeffrey (M. Rioli, Hollands)

    $158.4k ITB, 12 Trades and 1 boost left before trades this week.

    I’m thinking:

    Trade Out, McCartin, McComb & Petracca.
    via DPPs Hewett to Def & English to Fwd line;
    Trade In: Laird, Keays and Teakle (as Ruc).

    I can also bring in Laird & Teakle without shifting Petracca.

    TU: Smart trades (all 3)
    TD: Not smart trades
    Comment: Hold Petracca, make the other 2 trades

    Any input appreciated.

    Cheers, Wayne

    1. Hey Wayne.

      I like these trades. Though with the Gawn news perhaps you swap him for Petracca. With his extra cash you perhaps look at Mills or Walsh instead of Keays.

      Best of luck.

  48. Mitch Cleary:

    Melbourne skipper Max Gawn is looking at a period of time on the sidelines with a syndesmosis injury. Typically 4-8 weeks.

    Also… defender Daniel Turner will undergo surgery on a facial fracture sustained in his debut and miss around a month

    1. Alan Richardson is saying Gawn will miss 3 to 5 weeks:

      “It’s obviously disappointing that we will be without our leader for the next three to five weeks, but we’re hopeful it’ll be a relatively quick recovery for Max, and he won’t miss too much footy.”

  49. I’ve flown up the rankings through the byes from 10,000th to 2,000th but I’m not looking good for this week. I don’t think Hayes or Teakle will play this week, and neither will Cooper Stephens. Forcing me to trade Darcy Cameron early.

    Considering using last trade boost to do:

    Cooper Stephens > D’Ambrosini
    Sam Hayes > English
    Darcy Cameron > Bont
    De Goey > Judson Clarke

    150k ITB and 19 on the field (if Parish gets up)

    This will leave me with 7 trades but with, but 3 planned trades to required over the next 3 weeks. So after round 16 should have 4 trades but fully premo with cover.

    T/U – Do it
    T/D – Save trades
    Comment any other suggestions

    1. Trading Cameron this week is a good idea as you get an extra week of premium scoring and his price is high enough to be a premium sideswap. I’d do it.

      I’d try and only use 3 trades though. 1 sideswap (Cameron) and 1 upgrade ( Degoey/Hayes)

      Wait an extra week to refill your bank when someone worth downgrading too becomes availiable

      1

      2
      1. Thanks for the feedback mate!

        I can do that if Parish is fit, and play with 18 and just hold Cooper Stephens instead of wasting a trade there.

        Cameron > English
        De Goey > Bont
        Hayes > Clarke

        1. If Parish isn’t fit you’d be better sideswapping a Premo with your final boost then sideswapping a rookie to an unknown

  50. With Gawn no going down as well as still having preuss and Heeney in my squad with not many playing rookies, I feel like my team is screwed and needs serious help. I have 1 trade boost left with 9k in the bank here is my team

    Def-short, Ridley, Lloyd ,Whitfield , wher and Stewart (Sicily and Cleary)
    Mid- laird, McRae, miller, boak, Petracca, Rioli, Hamilton owens, (brayshaw, Oliver Neale)
    Ruc- preuss and Gawn (strondica)
    Fwd- Dunkley, butters, heeney, Kelly, j.clarke, long (D.Moore and Brodie)

    Any ideas to fix my team?

  51. Well, bringing Gawn in last week was painful. He’s gotta go, maybe a luxury trade back in during SC finals. Gonna keep Pruess now, he was gonna make way next week, but as the 4th highest averaging ruck (and having coverage from English), may as well hold him for a while yet.

    Tossing up a few options now – Stewart vs Sinclair is the first, the second is whether to throw in a luxury trade in the forward line now. Will pop them in comments below for the votes.

    DEF: Sicily, [Stewart/Sinclair], Hewett, Crisp, Doc, Short (McCartin, Thompson)
    MID: Oliver, Neale, Walsh, Macrae, Miller, Brayshaw, Cripps, Keays (Clark, Clarke, Owens)
    RUC: Witts, Preuss (Teakle)
    FWD: English, Dunkley, Brodie, Cogs, Heeney, [Hawkins/Moore] (Butters, Derksen)

    1

    1. TU: Trade Dyl Moore to Hawkins (down to 6 trades)

    1. Do you have a loop already? If yes I’d go with stevens first as he’s non playing .

      If not go with the players worth the most money.

      0
    2. Carroll’s last 3 not very good and will be slow cash gen moving forward. I’m a cats man- and hoping Stephens gets more- but his last one wasn’t good- so won’t hold his place imo- and with Danger, Menegola, Higgins, etc coming back don’t see the J/S.
      Owens has played well but not a good week to get injured- few to comeback- and I’m holding hoping he stays in side at end for cover.
      Holding Rosas as his J/S and money earning not finished.

    Currently have English and Cameron in rucks can swing either fwd.

    T/U – Mills

    T/D – Witts

  54. TU: Gawn > Darcy

  58. First time I’ve posted my side since the pre season. Got plenty of passengers in the 22 but never mind still enjoying the challenging year it’s been. Would love some thoughts here .. dropped my trade plans below the team, cheers.

    DEF: Sicily, Dawson, Hewett, dale, short, crisp (Daicos Wehr)

    MID: Macrae, Neale, Oliver, Miller, Brayshaw, Cripps, peTRAPpa, Clarke (Rioli Stephens Owens)

    RUCK: Witts Darcy (teakle)

    FWD: Dunkley, BSmith, parker, Brodie, butters, McComb (Hamilton durdin)

    Bank: $637k
    11 trades
    OA rank: 6271

    OUT: durdin, Baz & Stephens
    IN: cogs, Keays & Bont (would love a Laird but Keays seems value?)

    Leaves me full premium with a couple luxury upgrades ie. Butters, tracca & short.
    Gonna leave Daicos for another 2-3 weeks fatten up another 40k and cash him in and use his $$$ for those luxuries.

    -2

    4
    1. Would turn Stephens into a 102k M/D loop if you are going to keep Daicos. Then you can at least swing him as M9/D7 cover

      Could even use Short as D7/M9 if you decide it’s better to upgrade Daicos as a final luxury upgrade

      Could make $150k doing that + sideswapping Baz for Cogs. That would give you about $780k for 1 upgrade this week and 1 next week

      1

      0
      1. Good thought behind this JSG and understand it completely.
        But I think I feel more comfortable just holding Daicos for the short term make that extra $40-50k and cashing him in to upgrade some under performing premiums. But I’d be open too swinging Daicos into the mids for short term to give me a swing with short crisp Dawson and Hewett. Daicos could be a better M8 than Clarke til I upgrade and id hold off on Keays til I could get an uber in Laird, mills or Steele on his return. About the right time to cull Daicos anyway. Think I’ve just talked myself into this actually haha thanks for getting me thinking outside the box, just some guy

        1. All good. It was funny reading your progression from, I don’t think so to Yeah I’m doing this.

          I would probably get in Laird this week. (For Durdin) since you only need 18 this week having 21 premos doesn’t matter as much.

          Stephens > D/M loop
          Baz > Cogs
          Durdin > Laird

          Would leave you with about 430k left for your final forward upgrade next week. + upgrades. (Should be enough to get Rioli to a Premo FWD like Bont/English.)

          You would also still have Clarke, and McComb as players you can cash out if you wanted to upgrade Daicos to Stewart in 2-3 weeks

          That would push one of Short/Crisp to be your M9/D7 swing which is insane cover. Might even take Petracca off your field

          1

          0
  59. Only two players left until full premo i was wondering D.Cameron and P.Mccartin are they keepers

    TU: Yes

    TD: No they will eventually lose value.

    2

    13
    1. Not imo, Nick.
      Grundy will affect Cameron when he’s back in 3 or so weeks and McCartin just isn’t one. Even his past few weeks aren’t nearly good enough to be a keeper..

      3

      1
  60. 7 trades left and 2 more players until premo should i trade out Llyod for Docherty i still have Patrick Mccartin on the field thinking about keeping him on the field

    TU: Yes luxery trade Llyod score is not consistent

    TD: Not worth hold him

    1. Might need a little more detail here, Carson.

      2 upgrades left to do – which rookies are those, how much money have you got banked, and which rookies can you downgrade to generate cash.

      ie. $500k bank would mean 2 trades to upgrade two maxed out rookies, leaving you with 5 for the run home – you *might* get away with a luxury trade.

      If you don’t have much money banked and/or your rookies are only in the low $200k range, then you might need to use as many as 4-5 trades just to do those upgrades. If you’re going to run out the season with only 2-3 trades in hand and sub-par bench cover, then you’re taking a big risk.

      0

      0
      1. i have 111K and those rookies would be Wehr, McCartin and Cameron(cause of Grundy coming back soon) so that would be 3.

        Other rookies i have on bench are Parnell,Stephens,Owens, Teakle ,Rosas and Macdonald

  62. Hey guys looking for some direction on where to next with my side, as you can see my last few rookie trades haven’t quite paid off. Not worried about the bye just improving my team for the long run, 473k in the bank. (Ruck probs first move)
    DEF- Sicily, Short, Ridley, Sinclair, Daicos, DeKoning, Gibcus and Khamis
    MIDS- Neale, Oliver, Petracca, Parish, Cripps, Mcrae, Boak, C.Stephens, Clark, Carroll, Hampton
    RUCKS- Gawn, S. Hayes and Preuss
    FWDS- Dunkley, Parker, Brodie, Cogs, Butters, McCartin, Rioli and Motlop

    0

    0
    1. I would suggest Gawn to English. Rioli to Cameron or Hawkins might finish your fwds. Depending on your number of trades and boosts then look at C Stephens and the rest. Probably persisting with DeK, Gibcus, Clark, McCartin as they are playing.

      1

      0
      1. Cheers for the reply mate, I have 16 trades left but only 1 boost, so yea ideally I was looking for an upgrade up fwd and down back first but now Gawn out it has thrown a spnner in the works but English is defs the obvious choice for Gawn

        0

        0
    2. Counting Pruess as a primo you need 4 upgrades to go full premium (so hopefully you have lots of trades)

      Your 473k in the bank should get you 2 upgrades which leaves you needing 6 trades to full premo. (Hopefully you have about 14)

      Going 1 up, 1 down you need 6 cashed out players ready to go and 2 viable downgrades.

      Gibcus > premium defender would be my first upgrade and Hayes to 102k R/F the first obvious downgrade.

      That means you need 3 upgrades and 1 downgrade to go complete.

      McCartin, Daicos, Clarke and SDK are the 4 best candidates for that.

      Would probably look at doing

      Gibcus, Gawn, SDK to English, premium defender and a premium mid if you can swing it.

      1

      1. Cheers mate, I have 16 trades left but only 1 boost. Was looking at a premo Def and fwd but then Max going down has obviously thrown a spanner in the works. Have a few nore players than my opponent this week so could go the Def upgrade and the downgrade this week and shouldn’t affect my result hopefully lol

        0

        0
        1. 16 trades is good. I’d go for 2 upgrades and 1 sideswap this week. Empty your bank. You will have the cash to get to full premium and there aren’t any players on the bubble this week.

          1 Gawn to English or Witts is one obvious move

          Then 2 upgrades Gibcus + one of McCartin/SDK. I would bring in a M8 if you can since they have the best reliable scoring.

          Next week you will be able to downgrade Hayes to Teakle and do another Def upgrade leaving Daicos D6 as your final upgrade when hopefully some more rookies have shown up.

          1

          0
    3. Gawn to Witts and hope Preuss plays
      De Koning to Tom Stewart
      McCartin to Bontempelli

      Should leave you with about 12k itb.

      4

      1
  63. I was only going to do 1 or 2 trades this week but I have decided to use my last boost and go all in, playing for rank not leagues.

    Trades will be:

    Paddy McCartin to Sam Durdin
    Jed Anderson to Keays via DPP
    Gawn to Witts
    Coleman to Liberatore

    I will have 19 on field this round including 16 premos and these trades will leave me with 5 trades remaining and 32k itb.

    Full premo with:

    Angus Brayshaw at D6
    Paddy Cripps at M8
    Zac Butters at F6

    Bench cover on all lines but that includes Teakle at R3 to loop English into the ruck if required.

    Never had a completed team this early but the boosts made it possible. Now to hope for minimal injuries in the run home!

    1

    0
  64. TU- Trade in J. Cameron (or Hawkins, T. Walker)
    TD- Use final boost to upgrade to Bont (playing injured) or any FWD premo

  65. Hi everyone – Have 9 trades left and 115k in bank (playing for league)

    Stewart Sicily Short Hewitt Sinclair Crisp (MacCartin Cleary)
    Macrae Oliver Neale Miller Cripps Petracca Green Bont (Owens Clark Hough)
    Gawn Witts ( Visintini)
    Dunkley English Brodie Heeney Butters Cogs (Hobbs Rioli)

    Just wanting to get team as good as possible ready for rd20 head to head finals
    Thinking Gawn(via English) out and anyone in??( next best in) Mills/Laird or someone cheaper and leave extra in bank?

    Please – any suggestions as what to do and who to bring in would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance

    1. I’d suggest moving Bont into forward, Butters to mid- then upgrade him to a premium such as Laird. Need to move Gawn as well- ankle syndismosis can linger, so swap him as you want to

      0

      2
    2. Great team you’ve got there but yeah, with the Gawn news it’d be worth trading him to Laird who could be the best SuperCoach mid down the stretch imo and most of us won’t be able to bring him in.

      I don’t know that you need to make any other trades, I’d probably just try to eventually upgrade Clark and Hobbs to Sean Darcy and get English back in the forward line so you can swing him and Visentini when needed but that needs to wait a week or two anyway. Definitely try to hold some trades for injury cover down the stretch so no need to make more than you need to this week

      1

      0
    3. Great team. If named

      Gawn to Laird with Bont to forwards

      Not this week….

      Would also look at Clarke to the eagles 117k D/F rookie who their coach said will play. To open up McCartin as a D/F swing and Hobbs as a M/F swing when Clarke has maxed out on cash gen.

      Potentially upgrade Rioli to Luke Jackson for Ruck Cover and a Cash Grab.

      1

      0
    1. If you care about overall maybe trade Gawn across his bye to a someone who’s had their bye and then upgrade to Jackson next week

      3

      1
  66. Best Downgrade Option

    TU: D’Ambrosio (Assuming he’s named)
    TD: Judson Clarke

    3

    11
  67. Assuming the man gets named:

    TU: Gawn > English
    TD: Gawn > Preuss

    Benefit of TU: Can swing English into the FWDs late season when Gawn is back.

    Benefit of TD: Preuss will allow me to upgrade both Daicos and Tom Green to Tom Stewart and Sam Walsh after Round 15.

    1. A note is that, to get English into the FWD line, I would be trading out Butters or making Butters F7.

      0

      1. Having butters as a M9/F7 swing sounds like great cover if it’s possible.

        For all the disappointment he’s still averaged 90+ a game which is pretty good and great for a bench player

        1

  68. Would you do these trades.

    This week:

    Daicos, Brodie, Butler for Himmelberg, Mills, Teakle

    and then next week:

    Clark and Rosas for Stewart and a rookie

    1. Wouldn’t be trading Brodie.

      No role change with Fyfe, was still on a team high CBA load (23) and just had an off day with use. Been averaging 105 and still Top 6.

      Trading Daicos is fine if it’s your only source of cash. Keeping him as cover or even D6 depends on your team.

  69. Thanks firstly to all the contributors and help I have received previously.Thinking of trading…Hayes/Lloyd/Mitchell to Teakle/Docherty/Mills,,,good move or bad move…Is Sinclair a better option to Docherty?Still 16 trades left with 3 boosts and 1 short of premium…That is if you can call Heeney/Butters/Petracca Premiums…Can move Teakle as swing with English and next trade will be Parker into Forwards….Thanks for your help .

  70. I brought in Degoey before Round 12 to help me through the byes. I was thinking keeping him as my M7. But now I might be trading him out. My options are:

    TD: Degoey to English
    TU: Degoey to Daicos via DPP

    11

    2
  71. Gawn > Witts
    McCartin > Stewart

    Leaves me pretty well full premo with 8 trades left.

    Should i trade Gresham to a Bont/Libba?

    1. Seeing as you asked so nicely, Gawn to Bont via shifting English to R2 adds $25K to your 74 to bring you up to $99k.
      Not sure you need to do anything else. Daicos, Stephens, Clark & Rosas still have a few dollars to make. Check the team sheets to see if anyone on the bubble gets named.

      0

      0
    2. Mostly a nice team but a few rookies on field. I’d probably suggest Gawn to Bont like Dom but then do Hayes to Teakle which would give you the cash to turn Rosas into Parker. Clark to Keays would be another option too. Do the first two parts and then see who you can afford and who you like best from that.

  73. T/U – Get Dawson this week (full premo)
    T/D – Play McCartin and wait for Stewart to drop

    10
  74. Gawn > Preuss
    D Cameron > Parker
    Daicos > Docherty

    Gets me full premo with 9 trades, 1 boost left and leaves English at F1 as I don’t think any F6 I bring in will outscore Preuss. (Not convinced on Himmelberg)

    Tu: Y

    Td: N

    3

    11
    1. Biq question mark on Preuss at the moment, if he’s named then possibly. I’ve got him and if he is not named I might be trading him out. Might be better running with English (or even Cameron) in the ruck for the short term and wait for Grundy/Gawn to return and hit some form (or Preuss to solidify his position).

      1. Yep great point David! I wasn’t going to bring it up because I talked myself out of it, but my alternative plan was:

        Gawn > Parker
        Daicos > Docherty
        JHF > Durdin

        Allows me to swing English to R2 and still have a full premo team (counting D Cameron at F6). I was more concerned about fielding premo player scores for this bye, but I should have 17 ‘premo’ scores + one of either Mccartin, Durdin or G Clark with the above trades. Hopefully Durdin keeps his spot, or I could look at Massimo D’Ambrossio from Ess.

        Like you say, it gives me another week to look at R2 position which is probably the biggest benefit so you may have talked me back into it!

        Cheers!

  75. is it worth using 4 trades to get Gawn – Witts and Mcartin – Stewart??
    Would leave me with 11 trades and 1 more to get premo next week.

    Cheers

    1. I’d wait on Stuart and bring him in as your last upgrade. Could have a big price drop over the next few weeks

  76. Needing some help from the experts haha
    19 trades left 2 boosters.

    DEF: Hewett, Short, Llyod, SDK, Boyd, Parnell (Sicily, N Daicos)
    MID: Oliver, Cripps, Macrae, Miller, A Brayshaw, Petracca, J Berry, Owens (Neale, Hamilton, Tsitas)
    RUCK: Gawn, English (Hayes)
    FWD: Dunkley, Cogs, Butters, Heeney, N Martin, Curtis (M Rioli, Brodie)

    I am thinking Daicos, Berry and Gawn to Witts, Bont and S Durdin. Will leave me with 210K and hope to next week upgrade and bring in Crisp and another Premo defender.

    Any help will be awesome.

  77. What are Parish owners thinking? I am leaning towards holding.

    TU: Hold, hoping he only misses one game and saving a trade
    TD: Trade, climb up the rankings by trading to another premo who has already had their bye such as Walsh

  78. two options this week.

    First one is a lot safer.

    TU: Zorko, Gawn, curtis > Stewart, S durdin, English

    TD: Zorko, Gawn,clark, rosas> durdin, English, himmelberg, J cameron.

    The second option will leave me with only one rookie in being on field (hinge), which I will trade for stewart in a couple weeks. I’m thinking about passing on Stewart this week as he should drop in cash in 2-3 weeks due to his concussion game.

  79. Only traded in parish last week, he misses this week with calf injury. Have 14 trades. I do have 18 players playing so numbers isn’t a problem this round
    TU Hold
    TD trade

  80. Trying to finish off with the M8. Have $554k to run with, thinking either Keays or Guthrie. Both have pretty soft runs home, with Keays playing North and WC in rounds 21 & 22, Guthrie playing WC in round 23. Leaning towards Keays for higher floor and overall consistency, though I like the extreme POD and extra couple bucks Guthrie will leave me for an inevitable injury trade

    TU: Keays
    TD: Guthrie

  81. Last week traded McComb & McCartin to Sinclair & Owens
    My current team:
    DEF: Sicily, Sinclair, Hewett, Crisp, Ridley, N.Daicos (Sinn, Wehr)
    MID: Oliver, Neale, Laird, Parish, Macrae, Miller, Cripps, G.Clark (C.MacDonald, M.Rioli, Owens)
    RUC: English, Gawn (S.Hayes)
    FWD: Dunkley, Brodie, Parker, Cogs, Butters, Durdin (Jeffery, Hollands)
    $61,800 in the bank, 17 trades left, three trade boosts left
    Have no idea what to do, suggestions are very much appreciated.

  82. Hi coaches, I have 16 trades left, 4 of which are boosts.

    TU: thinking just using 2 this week
    TD: Use 4 this week, leaving 12 (3 boosts)

    Any advice on using the boosts over the remaining rounds appreciated.
    Hopefully planning to have 1 trade and 1 boost left for the GF!!

    1. HaA, depends on what your overall goal is. Know some have nearly finished their trading and their side is full premium- I have about 10 trades left and one premium away- next week probably.
      Even though we got lots of trades extra this year some have nearly blown them all!
      Finals are interesting- I played some teams where they’ve had a great side during the year- but drop off in finals as they can’t trade injured players out.
      What the end goal for you and how close to premo are you?

      1. Thanks mate, Im plan is as follows:

        This round:
        OUT: Hayes, JHF, Zorko -> IN: Teakle, Durdin, Miller/Doch, will leave me with $300k itb

        R15: OUT Pruess, dpp English to Ruck, Butters to FWD and trade in Brayshaw (freo)

        R16 plan: DeKoning to Stewart

        But again, Im still not touching Boosts… Im concerned about bringing 2 debutants in this week, burnt by Owens , Rioli…

        1. If you’ve got 300k in the bank this week, could you not boost to bring in another premo? That way you can do both Docherty and Touk?
          Boosts start to get less important with less trades. You’ll need to hold 3 trades for your grand final for the boost to help then so I don’t think you need to have 4 left for the end of the season cause you probably won’t be able to use them all

          0

          1
  83. So seeing as my 3 way poll earlier had 2 winners, let’s try this again. 8 trades left, 1 boost but this gets me to no rookies on field either way. Who to trade in?

    TU: Parker and Bont with 2 trades
    TD: English, Bont and Teakle with 3

    2

    13
  84. probably a silly comparison but
    TU: J cameron playing WCE twice and North, plus POrt and Dogs who hes tonned up against already
    TD: Docherty, probs cheapest he’ll be for rest of the year

    cameron has the potential to have more massive games but could go missing

    1. Can you trade in English or Witts just to get to someone playing this week? If you’ve already got English, might be worth swinging him into the rucks and trading Gawn to a forward or mid who have already had their bye too and you can do the Darcy upgrade in 2 weeks when that 59 is out of his price cycle

      1

  85. 12 trades left: need to boost defence as I don’t have either Sicily or Hewitt .. 1 forward upgrade left after these trades

    Thinking either:

    Clark/Daicos > D’Ambrossio(If selected) / Hewitt or Docherty

    TU: Docherty ( less ownership)

    TD: Hewitt

    Current defenders:

    Stewart, Crisp, Sinclair, Lloyd, Whitfield

    hoping to upgrade Lloyd to Sicily if trades allow and keep Whitfield as pod

    5

    6
  86. Current side
    B- Sinclair, Hewett, Crisp, Short, Ridley, McCartin (khamis, Dean)

    M- Oliver, Neale, laird, Mills, Macrae, Miller, Cripps, Soligio ( Clark, Owens, Hamilton)

    R- Gawn, Preuss (Teakle)

    F- English, Bont, Dunkley, Brodie, Parker, Butters ( Curtis, Butler)
    With $310.8k and 11 trades
    Currently tossing up between these two ideas, as I think getting the cash gen from Himmelberg could be beneficial and that Stewart may get cheaper in coming weeks because of concussion game score.
    Tu- Gawn>Witts
    McCartin> Stewart
    Butters> Cogs
    Td- Gawn>Witts
    Curtis> Himmelberg
    Butters> Cogs
    Any other ideas I would love to hear them

    1. The Butters to Cogs trade could be a little risky. Not sure Cogs will get a 174 again without playing North and if you take that game out he’s averaging 92 for the season which is pretty much the exact same as Butters. I’m happy I held cogs but I’m not sure he’s worth sideways trading in from Butters cause from here they could score pretty similar. Could you maybe upgrade Soligo to someone with his extra cash compared to Curtis?

    2. Would hold on that defensive upgrade until next week with Sicily back and Stuart potentially cheaper or still expensive but looking at a high break even.

      Gawn > Witts
      Clarke > Cogs/himmelburg
      Curtis > Bazzo

  87. TU: Bont
    TD: Parker

    Have a few doggies players, Macrae, Dunkley, English – if I add Bont is this too many from the one team?

    4

    5
  88. TU:
    Gawn > Coniglio (Butters F7, FWD/MID cover)
    MacDonald > Teakle
    And then in 2 weeks go Hayes > Darcy after Darcy’s price drop
    (I’ll be able to swing English into the ruck to cover next week and Butters onto the field at F6)

    TD:
    Gawn > Preuss
    MacDonald > Coniglio
    Hayes > Teakle

  89. Have English and now Teakle playing as Cover for Gawn…is it worth holding Gawn while he’s out or trade to Witts? 12 trades remaining but using two a third if I trade Gawn..

    TU: Trade Gawn to Witts

    TD: No trade and hope Teakle plays the next 3 or 4 if not trade to Witts later

    11

    1
  90. TU – BONT – 583.7 k / BE (132)

    TD – COGS – 498.3 k / BE (29)

    Prices and Bont injury woes both taken into consideration!

    5

    6
  91. Witts and Stewart seem to have about the same BE. I’d really like Stewart for my Def as I have English in fwds I can swing into the Ruck (have Darcy as the other Ruck). Everyone who hasn’t got Stewart seems to be waiting until next week but I can see Stewart going large. So which way to go.

    TU Witts
    TD Stewart (wait until next week)

    1. Stewart’s big price drop will probably be next week unless he goes 150+ this week. I think you either get him now or wait two weeks.

  92. Team in dire straights atm
    8 trades left, max 17 playing this round, thinking of trading out G. Clark

    T/U: English
    T/D: Bont
    Comment: Cogs

    Kind of new to this, where does my team need the most work? Def/Mid/Fwd
    Once I get Heeney mid as M9 should have a little more flexibility with DPP forwards and mid upgrades come injuries. Maybe upgrade witherden/Daicos/Lloyd depending on form/selection. Potentially get in Sicily/Stewart with price decrease?…
    Suggestions welcome!

    $420k kitty
    Sinclair/Hewett/Ridley. (Wehr)
    Witherden/Lloyd/Daicos. (D. Turner)

    Oliver/Neale/Laird/Parish (Clark)
    Miller/Keays/Cripps/Green (Owens, Rioli)

    Witts/Darcy (Treakle)

    Dunkley/Brodie/Cameron (Rosas)
    Butters/Taranto/Heeney (Curtis)

  93. Looking like I’ll have 19-20 players for this round pre-trade.

    T/UP: Any of Rosas/G.Clark/Curtis/Hamilton/Owens to Teakle. No premiums this week.

    T/D: G.Clark/Curtis and Rosas to Bont and Teakle

    2

    5
  94. I have 11 trades left (no boosts), $153k itb, and am full premo (kinda): Petracca @ M8, Preuss @ R2, Heeney/Butters/Cogs @ F4/5/6

    My question is, do I luxury upgrade Petracca to Mills/Jelly, or hold off because Preuss might get dropped again, Butters and Heeney might need upgrading first, etc?

    My current mids are: Oliver, Neale, Laird, Macrae, Miller, Walsh, Cripps, Petracca

    1. Butters or Heeney first I think, however if you need them for the byes this week it could be better to hold

      0

    2. Personally glad Preuss back and love the way he plays. I’m hoping he gets an extended run from here- as he’s still got great cash generation left. If he does get dropped in a few matches I’d look then to upgrading- as his cash gen is good- over the next 2/3 games predicted to make $60-80k.
      Agree with the Fos- Heeney & Butters next.
      Well done on Prem full- now keep your eye on the prize and trade as necessary

  95. Would you trade Coniglio back in?? I traded him out before his WCE game believing that Bont and Smith will both be well ahead of him for a top 6 position!
    Current fwds – Dunkley, Brodie, Parker, Cameron, Butters

    T/U – Bring in Cogs, in 60% of teams hurts too much not having him.

    T/D – Nahhh, wait a week or so for Bont.

  96. Hi All, Need some help.
    I don’t want my Bulldog membership to influence my decision.

    TU: Laird
    or
    TD: Bontempelli

  97. This week has really shaken my team plans. Gawn/Boak/Clark/Rosas/Owens all out. Was meant to head into this round with 20 players, now I’ll only scrape through to 18 players if I trade Neale to Laird tomorrow (if I’m desperate for my main league win). Will still have 12 trades left if I do that, but would rather not…
