Stewart poll coming up soon.
Why should be 3 to 4 weeks. Trade.
yes, but I think the question might be to whom should you trade
Of course
A poll for who to replace him with.
3 is a potential hold too.
He’s averaging 122 minus his concussion game. If you replace him with say a 110-ave player and include the 50-60 you’d get from your def bench cover, you might be down 80 points? Not worth a trade, plus you’d have him for finals.
4 weeks is pushing it though.
League hold. Overall trade.
Generally speaking.
How does one get more trades? Asking for a friend.
Beat me to it Slats….
I’m thinking Stewart>Liam Baker
Stewart out.
Avoiding Doch due to wanting to upgrade Merrett -> Steele the week after. Concerned about Hall going down late in the year and having F all trades left, but his ceiling speaks for itself.
Tu) Bailey Dale
Td) Aaron Hall
@ Abs – how many doggies do you already have?
Maybe avoid Dale if you already have English, Bont, Macrae, Libba etc
English, Bont, Macrae, Dunks
Dale pushes it to 5.
I know that it has been discussed quite a few times already this year, but do people think 5 doggies in your team is too many?
The WB have a very tough run going forward (they have t0 play 5 out of the top 6 sides plus St K & GWS & Haw), and they now have to play:
Bris
Sydney
St K
Melb
Geel (@ GMS Stadium) – first week of SC league finals
Frem
GWS
Haw
The WB players do seems to score quite well even in a loss, but I suspect they wouldn’t want to get badly beaten one week if we have 5 or 6 x doggies in our team
Dosnt matter where the points come from. Every player can bring you down.
This time of the season just go with your gut, not head.
Early on. Research players to play Max games with a high floor.
Now, just go with who has the best chance of boosting your score dramatically.
I’ve only ever cared about how many players I had from a specific team for the byes.
Currently 4 trades remaining with 1 upgrade remaining. Stripped for cash (30k), need to keep winning to cement a finals spot in my cash league..
Tu; Stewart > Steele & use 2 trades to get a lesser premo in week
Td; Hold Stewart & use 3 trades to get Steele in for a rookie next week
(Have used all my boosts already)
Thoughts appreciated!
I have 11 trades and 3 boosts still to use.
My question is could I be left with boosts that are left unused if I use all my trades first?
Don’t have to deal with the Stewart issue so hoping to do this trade depending on prices and selection
Out: Hinge, McDonald & McCartin
In: Hall, English and rookie 102k mid with Mis/fwd Dpp
Will have bugger all cash left but have Rozee as M9/for cover but only D’Ambrosio at d7.
Liked the look of Archer but will give him another week
Boosts dont give you additional trades…
Who the hell has 11 trades and 3 boosts left?
Stewart to Steele this week.
Leaves me with 3 trades, 30k and one rookie left to upgrade (wehr).
Thoughts would be greatly appreciated on how to play this out. Is there any majorly cheap pods for the run home I can look at in the coming weeks? Ideally would like to keep 2 trades for injuries however looking like I may possibly only have 1.
Thoughts!!
If you’re looking for cheap, it could almost be worth doing Stewart to Whitfield this week and letting Steele drop again and you can upgrade to him next week?
I don’t think Steele is set to lose much cash next week (I think his B/E is in the 130 range) – maybe $10k.
Sinclair worth consideration, or is the return of Steele and Ross gonna cause his scoring to tank?
Dawson and Houston probably the other options.
He’s been playing exclusively at HB the last few weeks, BlueBalls. So, midfield changes won’t impact him.
Copped a tag this week. Still Top 6 and, for mine, a must have.
Trade out Stewart or hold him and use rookie to field?
TU: Trade him out not worth the ranking and don’t know if the rookie will be playing
TD: Hold him
McCartin > Some forward rookie
Hobbs > Steele
Will then have a full premo team as long as English comes back this week
English highly unlikely this week.
Stuck on what to do got Stewart while i got two rookies in the def and forward. what should i do? ty
bank: 27K 4 trades
Def
J.Sicily,J.Sinclair,T.Stewart,G.Hewett,A.Saad,J.Wehr (Parnell,D.A’mbrosio)
Mid
C.Oliver,R.Laird,L.Neale,J.Macrae,D.Parish,A.Brayshaw,P.Cripps,Z.mERRET,(D.stephens,J.Clarke,M.Owens)
Ruck
J.Witts,D.Cameron (B.Preuss)
Forward
M.Bont,S.Coniglio,W.Brodie,J.Dunkley,L.Parker, M.Rosas (T.English,B.teakle)
Hold all trades.
D’Ambrosio averages 50 next 3 weeks Stewart misses v a trade to 100 average premium = 150 point deficit.
Stewart returns over last 5 weeks and averages 125 v 100 premium you would have traded him to = 25 point deficit in overall points over reminder of season but hasn’t cost you a trade.
Reading this wouldn’t it be better to trade Stewart out?
No, he’s basically saying 1 trade to earn 25 extra points is not worth it which is correct. But the logic isn’t entirely correct. What if you trade in someone like Hall who could average 125 (who knows?) from now on? Then it definitely would be worth the trade. I don’t have Stewart, think I’d be trading to Hall (High risk High reward) or Dawson.
If you don’t get English and Preuss back this week, a trade makes sense, but otherwise, I’m on board with Timbo about holding – however, I’ll quibble with some of the numbers Timbo used:
– 125 for Stewart is charitable – his season average is 115, 5-game is 118.
– 50 ppg for D’Ambrosio is realistic.
– You can afford Docherty, who is averaging 110 ppg (112 season, 5-game of 109).
Using my #’s – if Stewart is out 3 rounds, you’re up 180 points ((110-50) x 3). From there, you lose 10 points per game for final 5 games (probably closer to 5 ppg, but I’ll give the benefit of the doubt to Stewart), then the trade has netted you 130 points. That looks more reasonable, especially considering you have good coverage on all other lines and could afford to carry some of the ‘general soreness’ or 1-2 week injuries that are coming in the next couple of months.
Oh thanks for these information make lots of sense and I’m planning on holding Stewart move him to the bench and use Wehr and Ambrosio on the field but this would depend if they are playing and if Preuss is playing.
5 Trades left
T/U Stewart > Doch/Dawson
T/D Stewart > Doch and Cripps to Steele.
Main concern is having 3 trades for the run home but bringing Steele in for the underperforming Cripps is a luxary trade that could work in my favour massively. Will think it over this week.
Who to trade to Steele
Cripps TU
Merrett TD
Which trade is better in the long run
TU Taranto to Duncan/Treloar
TD Zerrett/Cripps to Steele
Got a few options to upgrade Daicos to
TU: Hall
TD: Dawson
Or Daicos to
TU: Sinclair
TD: Steele
Only have 1 trade after this what is a better trade to have a consistent scoring team.
TU Zerrett/Cripps to Steele
TD Taranto to Duncan/Treloar
@ Jerome – I would seriously consider holding your trade this week if I was you!!
You only have 2 trades left, and you are considering trading out fit players (that are generally pretty consistent) in Cripps & Merrett & Taranto
Think you will need those last 2 trades for injuries over the next 4 weeks (or 8 weeks to go if you count all the SC league finals).
I agree Brett.
Taranto to Duncan is madness. Duncan is brittle as and Taranto will improve.
Wait until SC finals to pull the trigger on a Cripps / Merrett upgrade.
Steward dilemma. 7 trades left.
1st option, funds allowing a swap to a Hall.
2nd, use 2 trades to get Dawson.
3rd, hold Steward for a week, Sinclair price drop gets me him following week.
Rank 225.
If your rank is that high go Dawson
Redman…slipping under the radar, getting plenty of the ball down back, and a huge pod !!
Is Jake Lloyd back in town?
No, it’s just that I traded him this week.
Luckily for hall.
Looks overwhelming……
T/U – STEELE
T/D – WALSH
Daicos > Hall
So much for my Stewart plans!!!!
Hey community,
Last upgrade is at F6 but I only have 520k in the bank. Who is the best option at this price?
Any response would be awesome!
Tex if you want to spice up your life, if not then probably Heeney. Shitty score over the weekend but on his ceiling, form and the strength of the Swans he’ll probably still end up Top 6.
Rozee interesting if you’re really looking for something radical…
Can I possibly suggest Dylan Moore? He’s got a really high ceiling and has had less terrible scores than Heeney or Rozee. Also a nice POD and can score in wins and losses. I’ve had him in draft all year and he’s won me so many matchups.
Even more radical is Rhylee West
Lynch. Go for it. Got a great run home.
T/u – Treloar
T/d – Heeney
T/u – Tex
T/d – Liam Baker
Baker is a bit of a Mr Fixit for Richmond. He can play off halfback, in the midfield and forward … he does not have a clear role. I would say he is high risk. Went into the midfield on the weekend. Cotchin back next week but Prestia out. Martin still a bit rusty after missing games. Short term he’ll probably score well. Long term, not sure.
Liking Steele as a late luxury sideways POD, however think I’ll wait a week for a few reasons:
a) he plays the Blues, who are the most restrictive unit going around
b) give that shoulder another week to get battle tested
c) to see if Cripps can make a case to stick around
d) if Walsh is potentially a better option, the kid’s a jet and single handedly destroyed FT’s weekend down in Melbourne!
Ha ha.
The fact I own him was the one shining light. Watching him the flesh he was everywhere. I highly recommend getting him . One of the only mids that doesn’t need CBA’s to score well. With his running ability, I pick him to be in the top few scorers to finish the year.
Feel for those with Stewart this week after last week’s carnage too, been trying to get him in but in hindsight thankfully it didn’t happen
2 trades this week:
McCartin > D’Ambrosio
Rosas > Steele (via Clarke DPP)
Gives me full premo and leaves me with Daicos as mid/def cover and one of Preuss/Cameron as fwd/ruck cover and loops. Left with 9 trades potentially to use on some underperformers (petracca, short)
I know D’Ambrosio is on the bubble this week, but where do dons fit in both McGrath and Parish if fit ?
Which POD?
T/U- Mitch Lewis
T/D- Rhylee West
Cheers
Thank you for the 1 week service Stewart! Playing for rank so it’ll be a trade for me
T/U – Stewart to Dawson
T/D – Stewart to Hall, Rosas to Jackson (becomes F7/R3 cover)
5 trades left currently
Looking at my midfield
Im thinking of having a POD
TU McComb/G Clark to J Kelly / rookie
TD McComb/G Clark to c Guthrie /rookie
Comment – stay with the big guns and get miller
Need a cheap ruck.
TU – Hickey
TD – Preuss
Reckon Gawn is back quick so not really considering Jackson.
Thinking of a luxury trade this week as I am ranked 275 yet dont have Oliver. Thinking Cripps (TU) or Merrett (TD).
Thoughts ?
McCartin out for
TU: Hall
TD: Baker
Looking at Izak Rankin to out average Heeney for the rest of the year.
Rankins average has been creeping up over the year.
TU-Good solid speculative pick, he’s getting better.
TD-He’s in a purple patch.
Any thoughts on Petracca’s scoring run of late? And if you had to keep one…
Tom Green T/U
Petracca T/D
Best premo option down back for 450k or less for the run home? Restricted heavily for cash.
TU: Stewart > Steele via dpp
> Next week bring in cheaper premo down back to finalise my side
TD; Hold Stewart & field Wehr
> Bring in Steele next week to finalise side
Danger in the midfield?
Who to trade out for Hall?
TU: Ridley
TD: Short
is it worth potentially copping a player who doesn’t play to get bont to finish my forward line? or should I get libba and a rookie who plays (bench)
TU – bont and a rookie who doesn’t play?
TD – Libba with a rookie who plays
(Rookie will obviously be on the bench and o have Judson clarke aswell on the pine)
Ok who would you rather? Trade short for
TU Walsh
TD Steele
Cheers everyone
Wow, not a lot of love for Steele?
T/U – Only just come back from injury, give it a few weeks / Saints have tough run home.
T/D – Walshy just clearly a better selection.
4 trades left, full premo team
would you trade connor macdonald and rosas for d’ambrosio and luke jackson?? Jackson would be r3 & f7
With dpp, jackson can cover every mid, ruck, rwd. Have no playing defender bench, d’ambrosio might be useful. Have both English and Parish who didn’t play last week
Bloody Hell Stewy
Will now have 4 trades left….
T/U – Hall + $110 k
T/D – Dawson + $25 k
I can only afford hall but think that hall has the most upside anyway
Yeah agreed mate, very surprised with the voting here! If i recall correctly we all had Hall over Dawson in our starting sides!
If I recall correctly Dawson’s missed 1 game for the year and Hall has missed 8. Going into finals with limited trades. I’ll take the durability, thanks! Similar ceilings too.
If you’re talking 90k difference I’m taking Hall at this stage every day of week. It’s similar to saying what would you prefer?
T/U – Hall and Bont
T/D – Dawson and Heeney
Think I know what i’d prefer!
No real validation there, as Bont is 130k more than Heeney, not 90k. Of course, you take the Bont option if choosing from those two though.
Who do we think has the best job security going fwd,
D’Ambrosio , Kemp or maybe Archer ? Thanks
D’Ambrosio for me – he looks like a ripper 🙂
Beautiful kick, makes good decisions, and reminds me a little of a slightly shorter & younger Michael Hibberd.
Think Kemp is still learning his craft, and despite Jordan Boyds foot injury that was announced today, Kemp will probably lose his spot when Weitering, Durdin, McGovern etc return.
Archer probably got picked before he deserved a game, but he looked pretty good – although I suspect they will just try to get 3 or 4 games into him this year (so he knows the level required for preseason next year).
Who to bring in for Stewart?
TU: Dawson
TD: Walsh
Defence dilemma.
TU: trade out Daicos ($440,000 and rising)
TD: trade out Short ($498,500 and falling).
TU: BONT
TD: WALSH
I went with Bont but that was for structure reasons. I needed a M/F swing in the mids.
Is having 4 Blues players = Walsh, Cripps, Docherty, Hewett too many??
Probably not, so I voted T/D
But if you are playing for a league win, just be mindful that Carlton need to play Melbourne at the MCG in round 22 – which is supercoach preliminary final week.
And Melbourne could be absolutely firing by then
10 trades left. Ranked 2004. 138 itb. Playing for league and overall.
ATM thinking hold Stewart as I will need to bring him back in after his suspension anyway… Butters and McCartin are my concerns. Can do Butters to English/Bont/Steele in one trade (main targets… trades are like gold for run home)
Defence: Hewett, Sicily, Sinclair, Doch, Daicos, SDK…. (Stewart, Uwland)
Mids: Oliver, Laird, Neale, Macrae, Miller, Walsh, Brodie, Cripps… (Clarke, Owens, Long)
Ruck: Witts, Preuss (Teakle)
Forwards: Cogs, Dunks, Parker, Cameron, Butters, Heeney (McCartin, Curtis)
Thoughts appreciated??
Butters to Bont I like, Even if Butters comes back this week, will he play more fwd less mid after injury ? and didnt score well last year when he came back from injury. Bont looked amazing vs Haw
Preuss should be back this week, If you’ve held this long maybe keep him for another week
I would look at Stewart to Dawson as well. Dawson d1 5 round average and adelaide have soft fixture rest of season. Stewart imo too long to hold, if he gets 3 weeks or longer
Who to hold
T/U Ryan
T/D Daicos
Ryan is frustrating. Last week he had a complete lockdown role…previous three rounds he seagulled and toned up each time.
Currently have 5 trades and 50k ITB.
Should I trade…..
Stewart -> Walsh
Cripps -> Steele
T/U – Yes
T/D – No
Have 9 trades and 1 boost left (6 trades and no boosts after this trade.)
Out) Cripps, Hawkins, Butters
In) Hickey, Hall, Bont
TU YES
TD no
This is my team, any thoughts. 105k cash 9 trades and 1 boost left so happy to boost
Def: Hewett, Dawson, Crisp, Sinclair, short, Ridley (Wher, Parnell)
Mid: Neale, Oliver, Miller, Walsh, Cripps, Petracca, Merrett, Butters, (Solilio, owens, McDonald)
Ruck: Witts, Goldy (R/F), (RF loop)
FWD: English, Brodie, Cogs, Dunkley, Himmelburg, Tomohawk (McComb, Rioli)
2 Options
TU: Butters -> Dawson
TD: McCartin -> Hall (this option also keeps Butters as either M9/F7)
Have 4 trades left.
I have Darcy Cameron so have to keep at least one trade to upgrade him when Grundy comes back.
DEF is:
Sicily, Sinclair, Docherty
Hewett, Crisp, Short
Am full premo.
Should I go for my first luxury trade and use some of my $134K to upgrade Short to Dawson
T/U – Yes their BE means now is the time to do it.
Dawson BE 74, Short BE 124
T/D – No you don’t have enough trades to be messing around.
Thank you peoples.
Who’s not trading this week because they got caught up in the rat race in the early rounds and burned (almost) all of them already?
TU Me
TD Also me
T/u – Liam Baker
T/d – Adam Treloar
Who do we think are the potential M9 DPP players right now? I’m looking at Taranto and Zac Bailey at around $400k each in a couple weeks.
Pendles is 430k if your getting one this week
Can’t believe I am asking this.
Can Whitfield ave 100+ for remainder of season?
Not a silly question at all Baz, he has done it in the past when in very similar roles. Under spike I think he can for sure. He is a bargain @ 463k but still think he would probably be around D7-10 from now till end of season. Very strong season for defenders.
Thanks Max. I was looking for a bargain and Whitfield or Lloyd seem the pick of the fallen premos under $500k
Yeah for sure mate, I’d personally go Whit over Lloyd. And if you even have enough cash itb you could go Hall who i think will score top 3 defenders for rest of season if he stays on the park. Big if, but could really be a good pod.
Best option to ride until SC finals.
TU: Steele/Walsh & Lloyd/Whitfield
TD: Rowell & Docherty/Dawson
Appreciate comments.
Thanks coaches
TU Bont
TD Dunkley
Thanks
9 trades left and no rookies left on field. However, some ‘premos’ will need ‘fixing’ (Ryan, Ridley, Green, Cripps, Stewart…).
I have 3 rooks still plumping up (Soligo, Curtis, Parnell.. maybe), 2 at their BE (SDK and MRioli) and 3 who aren’t playing (Owens, Carroll, Teakle).
Question is, should I trade out a rookie for Ambrosio to have some cash gen going forward (and bank some coin) or should I hold trades for the needed upgrades and inevitable spanners that will be thrown in the works.
T/U – Get Ambrosio, 8 rounds is still a long time and you’ll need more cash from somewhere (cashing out a plumped up cow now, and potentially from Ambrosio in the future)
T/D – hold the trade – you’ll need them to address bigger issues. And 5 playing rookies should be enough to generate the cash you need for any future plans.
Thanks!
Oh , i can just gaze wistfully at “9 trades left” ” 10 trades left” should i luxury trade this/that.. well played. Kudos. ^^
Playing for leagues, no hope for overall! 11 trades left, 1 boost. Stewart has to go. Which is better option to replace Stewart, and another upgrade? Don’t think getting Dawson will leave me with enough cash for decent other upgrade. Prepared to take the chance on Hall staying on the paddock for remainder of season (or to make some cash to sideways trade if needed)
T/U: Hall and Bont
T/D: Hall and Libba (save $30k)
Comment if you feel i should use the remaining boost to trade another cow to get Dawson instead of Hall
7 Trades left. Pushing for the top 10 OA- Feel like I’m going to upgrade Keays to a walsh/kelly/steele type. 580k to play with
Steele i could wait on and potentially trade for crippa next week or the week after.
Kelly has burnt me before and makes me nervous!
That leaves walsh – i guess i’m looking for different opinions and if it’s worth it to make the move from Keayes to a higher ceiling premo considering the amount of trades left.
TU – Trade keayes (to walsh)
TD – Hold and reasess
Alternatively, and potentially more important;
Get Gresham off field for Bont, but would have to trade Khamis to D’Ambrosio to do so. Gresham with a tough run home and the Bont not looking like dropping price in a while. Does leave me with 5 trades left however.
TU – Absolutely
TD – Don’t be silly
TU – Dawson and Petracca
TD – Hall and Steele
Tu Stewart to Hall and Merrett to Laird Bont or Steele
Td Stewart to Dawson and wait a week and trade Merrett to Steele
2 trades will leave 4 trades left full premo
Stewart replacement:
TU: Dawson
TD: Sinclair
Was thinking Sinclair initially but Dawson plays WCE and North again during SC finals!
T/U: Dawson
T/D: Docherty
Cheers
Trading Stewy to?
t/u: Steele
t/d: Hall
TU: Stewart>baker(wehr on field)
TD: Stewart>Hall(curtis on field)
10 trades left
I have Dusty who has been shocking last few weeks.
Thinking of:
Dusty to Bont
Hayes to Teakle
Will leave me with about $150k in bank
My only doubt on this trade is if Dusty has a huge score against the Eagles at the G this week
T/u do it
T/d hold
Hi All, I have a no English Dilemma,
Last week I had to play Hobbs and McCartin on field to my regret.
Rank dropped to 1253. 8 trades left and 148000 ITB.
No Stewart to cover and hopefully Preuss Back in. Don’t want to play McCartin or Hobbs again.
Was looking at luxury McCartin to Hall and then move Short to cover mid/def bench. As English is out again do I now do just one trade and do probably McCartin to Heeney and he will be M9/F7 when English back. Only 520000 to cover.
TU Get Heeney for this week and then M9/F7 cover
TD Save trade and play McCartin
Also, can still get Hall and move Short to mid bench (cover mid/def) if I trade out Hobbs and Wehr and bring in D’Ambrosio. Will leave 5 trades left. Comment if worth doing or too much of a luxury.
Cheers
So looks like English is going to miss again…
I can swing Jackson to my rucks to cover him, or I can just do a straight trade to Witts?
TU: Hold English
TD: Trade him to Witts
You’ve held this long already…
Looking at my backline. 11 trades left. $44k itb
DEF is:
Sicily, Sinclair, Ridley,
Hewett, Daicos, Short (Wehr, Turner)
TU:Ridley to Hall
TD: Wehr to D’Ambrosio, Daicos to Hall/Dawson
Or do I just leave?
With English to miss…so should Preuss. AFL needs to look at this type of situation.
Why the td ??
4 trades remaining, already have Butters F7/M9 cover and English as ruck cover.
TU: Stewart > Hall, 139kITB (D’Ambrosio cover)
TD: Merrett > Dawson
Cleary > Uwland
(Keep Stewart, Short becomes D7/M9 cover when Stewart is back. M8 can be looped between Short and Butters for the rest of the year) 27kITB
McCartin-Carroll-Clark to Hall-D’Ambrosio-Teakle.
Opens up swings between def-mid and ruck-fwd.
Will look like this:
Sinclair, Hewett, Hall, Short, Zorko, Ridley (Parnell, D’Ambrosio)
Oliver, Laird, Neale, Macrae, Miller, Brayshaw, Cripps, Daicos (McComb, Rioli, Owens)
Witts, Preuss (Teakle)
Coniglio, Brodie, Dunkley, Parker, Goldy, Butters (Rosas, Clarke)
I know it’s not the best looking team in the world, but have 9 trades left after and $354k itb to upgrade further.
TU: Sounds like a plan.
TD: Keep thinking.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone else loving their projected score this round when you put the C on Clarry and it doubles his projected 193 to 386!!!!
I’m thinking it’s a tad under on Clarrys score!
T/U – STEELE
T/D – DAWSON
Thanks supercoaches
Stewart replacement
TU : DOC
TD: Sinclair
I have Sicily, Dawson, Crisp, Short & Hewett.
As an owner of both i’d rather Doc, Sinclair tagged on the weekend and I think will continue to be, made a massive difference!
any news on butters and english coming back this week
Hey Red.
Butters listed as a test. English however, looks to miss another week.
Is anyone looking at holding Stewart and running with a rookie replacement – Daicos perhaps?
TU : Yes – holding Stewart
TD: Not for 4 weeks = Trade.
I brought in Blicavs for Gawn so considering holding Stewart and swinging Blicavs down back as cover via some other trades. And then trading out Blicavs in 4 weeks
Good to see De Goey back at training
4 trades left and have 2rookie covering defense and forward(with English out for another week) plan to hold Stewart that means i got two rookie covering defense.
TU: Good idea
TD: Trade out Stewart
If I don’t have Sicily, is he a straight swap from Stewart? Already have Hewett, Crisp, Short and Ridley as def premo’s.
T/U – yes ya dummy
T/D – pod Hall can be considered
Is Sicily the next out due to an indescretion.
Rich very similar stats $50K cheaper when was the last time he was suspended.
Agree…and you sleep well at night !!
Stewart replacement. Already have Sicily, Docherty, Hewitt and Dawson.
TU: Jack Sinclair
TD: Aaron Hall
Stewart has to go, who should i bring in…
t/u – Bont
t/d – Dawson
9 trades and 2 boosters left. 2 different approaches I am thinking about. Use 3 trades and build more flex into the side or use 1 trade and get the flexibility by saving trades. The assumption is the big Preusser is back this week.
TU: Stewart, McCartin, G Clark to Rich, Libba and Teakle
De Goey and L Jackson provides loops and flexibility into the r3, f7 and m9 positions
6 trades left. Full premo except Daicos at D6
TD: Stewart to Docherty
8 trades left. McCartin and Daicos loop at D6. Jackson and DeGoey @D5 and D6.
TU: Mitch Lewis
TD: Jake Stringer
Im using my last boost and upgrading both Rowell and Daicos this week and bringing in D’Ambrosio, taking me to full premo with 6 trades left
Laird is a definite in, but unsure of the last spot.
TU – Steele
TD – Walsh
Comment – Other
Already have – Oliver, Neale, Macrae, Miller, Cripps, Keays.
Cheers.
Final upgrade for McCartin
T/u Whitfield
T/d Vlaustin
McCartin, Rosas > Ambrosio, Bont
Have Stewart and 8 trades left. Only going for league finals win.
TU: Hold Stewart
TD: Stewart > Walsh (DPP)
If I don’t have Brodie, is a must-have for my final upgrade? Thought I was just going to have to go without him but I have enough trades to make it work, and I don’t like any of the other options (Heeney, Stringer, Taranto)
TU: Yes
TD: Nah
What’s the deal with Liam Baker’s recent form? 3rd Ave of 112 and a 5 rnd of 110, only in 2% of teams, could be a good rare gem or will this only last till Cotchin’s return?
Baker is very tempting while playing a midfield role (Considering him myself) However, once Cotchin and Prestia are back then hard to see how he keeps it up.
6 trades left, 360k in bank
T/U: Wehr > Dawson/Doc
T/D: Wehr & Petracca > Hall & Steele
Thanks
Stewart and Soligo out. Do I bring in:
TU: Hall and Bont
TD: Rich and Libba
Either one leaves me with Butters as my M9/F7 swing when English comes back next week, and 7 trades remaining
6 trades remaining with complete team, facing a 0 in the ruck with English. Tossing up between:
TU: Stewart to Dawson ($30k ITB)
TD: Stewart to Hall, Rosas to Jackson (Jackson covers English this week and will be eventual R3/F7 cover)
Help please:
DEF: Dawson, Sinclair, Hewett, Crisp, Short, Stewart (Wehr, Parnell)
MID: Oliver, Neale, Macrae, Miller, Brayshaw, Cripps, Green, Butters (Stephens, Owens, Daicos)
RUC: Witts, Cameron (Teakle)
FWD: Bont, Cogs, Brodie, Dunkley, Parker, Heeney (English, Curtis)
8 trades, No $ ITB
Depends how little no cash is. If you’ve got about $3k you could do Butters and Stewart to Keays and Hall. If it’s really no cash you could do Steele and Whitfield/Lloyd instead. If you’ve got a boost you could cull a Wehr or Curtis to get the cash for a player you’d like more
My next 3 trades would be Stuart to Premo defender for $$$$
Upgrade Butters/Heeney to primo Mid
Next week Wehr to D/M loop to allow Daicos to swing between the two spots
If you have a boost left do all 3 this week. And have $ in the bank for later
Looking for a sub 500k Mid/Fwd to become my M9/F7. Already have Butters.
TU: Heeney
TD: Treloar
Comment any other viable options
Gresham/Rozee?
Use Butters because of his high ceiling and bring in a better F6 or M8
Comes down to if English or Dixon are selected this week but…
T/U – Darcy/Hall
T/D – Treloar/Docherty
Thanks.
I still have Gawn as I’ve had to fix up Butters, Preuss and a couple of dud rookies on field like Greg Clark. I have Witts and English as my R1 and F1 and have 4 remaining trades left. Should I:
Thumbs Up: Hold Gawn
Thumbs Down: Trade Gawn to Darcy
Not sure on Gawn’s scoring potential after that injury and feel Jackson may shoulder more ruck duties for the rest of the season.
Who is a better combo to have?
TU: Hall/Walsh
TD: Dawson/Cripps
Currently ranked about 3.5k and have 4 trades left and am wanting to move up in ranks. Do I trade….
Jayden Short -> Aaron Hall
T/U – Yes
T/D – No
Short has a few juicy match ups in the next month.
WC
GCS
North
Freo 😉
I think he comes good.
I would prefer using the trade to sideways an under performing Mid to Steele this week or next.or get a Heeney / Butters type up to Bont. This could possibly net an extra 20 points a week.
Playing for leagues only, on the cusp of making finals but have a couple of favourable matchups coming up so I should scrape into the 8. Pretty much no chance of top 4 with or without Stewart.
2 trades left at the moment and full premo (including Stewart in premo count).
TU: Hold Stewart (cover is Wehr/Masimo)
TD: Trade Stewart (leaves me with 1 trade and 40k for rest of the season)
Only have 4 trades left (basically full premo)
TU: Trade Stewart left with 3 trades
TD: Hold Stewart and use Wehr for 4 weeks
Only problem is I have jackson who may need to be traded when Gawn comes back
1st trade is Soligo to Darcy via DPP
2nd trade either Daicos to Hall or C. Jamieson to Jackson
TU – Trade Daicos to Hall and field Taylor F6
TD – Jamieson to Jackson and field Daicos D6
I am leaning towards to TU as have English on Bench to swap with Taylor next week.
TU Goldstein
TD Darcy
Final defender already have short, Docherty, Hewett, crisp, Sinclair
TU: Hall
Or
TD: Dawson
Comment any other thoughts
A bit of a dilemma here, l’ve only got six trades left:
TU: Do l just use one trade to trade in Hall for McCartin or….
TD: Do l use two trades to get Dawson in which either trade would be my last upgrade?
Playing for rank, 117 overall atm
7 trades, 1 boost left
English > Darcy
Cripps > Mills
Can bring back English next week for D Cameron (Grundy’s probably not too far away and Cameron doesn’t have that much more to make)
Tu: Yes
Td: No
Surprised by the overwhelming response as I was very on the fence for it! Thanks everyone, cheers
If you are that high overall you have to take the risk
Yeah I agree, didn’t keep the extra trades up my sleeve not to be used
Can have any defender
TU: Dawson
TD: Doch
Comment: Someone else
Peatling>Stringer (vis DPP)
Worthwhile Trade? (4 trades left)
T/U: Yes
T/D: No
Goldstein worth it? Always worry with teams like North looking to give more opportunities to youth. Espeically after their club is under review
Tu Dawson
Td Mills
TU: Stewart & Trelor > Dawson & Bont
TD Stewart & Trelor to Laird & Hall
Mccartin upgrade:
Swing English fwd use Curtis/Rioli as cover
TU Nank
TD Darcy
So this week I can either trade Jeffrey & Curtis to bont and a rookie who isn’t playing or either trade Jeffrey and khamis to whitfield or a defender up to 507k and a rookie and keep 80k
TU – trade to bont
TD – trade to Whitfield / 507k defender
Curtis BE -5 and this trade leaves me with one more rookie to upgrade
Keeping Curtis might be very good cover, can you stretch to maybe Saad as your defender?
Is Hayes a chance to get a gig this week ?
TU – yes
TU – no
There are reports that Lycett is a chance this week.
No Stewart.
TU: Jack Sinclair
TD: Jack Crisp
Neither.
7 trades, $54K ITB, playing for league only. Currently top 4 but v close for top 8. Need 2 more wins I reckon.
TU: Hold Stewart
TD: Stewart -> Bont
Butters is another question…….
So, Butters….
If he doesn’t play, he’s definitely going to Petracca
But, if he plays, do I
TU: Hold and hope he’s recovered?
TD: Trade to Petracca?
Who for M8 this week?
TU: Crisp v Suns
TD: Cripps v Saints
Can you loop whoever plays earlier?
Hey guys.
Steele
or
Walsh
Cheers
Who to Vice Captain this week:
T/U – Neale
T/D – Macrae
If Rosas ain’t playing do you think Luke Jackson a good cover to get? I know Gawn will be back but i think Melbourne will play safe with him and maybe ruck less.
TU: Yes get Luke Jackson
TD: No Gawn will be back.
8 trades left weighing up two options.
TU: McCartin F6> Hall
TD: McCartin, Short and a rookie trade for cash > Rich, Houston.
I have 9 trades left…
Is it worth trading Short -> Hall ?
Last week traded Gawn, Jeffrey & G.Clark to Witts, D’Ambrosio (via Daicos DPP) and Heeney
My current team:
DEF: Sicily, Sinclair, Hewett, Crisp, Ridley, Wehr (Sinn, D’Ambrosio)
MID: Oliver, Laird, Neale, Macrae, Parish, Miller, Cripps, N.Daicos (M.Rioli, Owens, Hollands)
RUC: English, Witts (S.Hayes)
FWD: Cogs, Brodie, Dunkley, Parker, Butters, Heeney (Durdin, C.MacDonald )
$63,500 in the bank, 14 trades left, two trade boosts left
Any suggestions are helpful
T/U – Stewart to Houston (4 trades left) – Play Rosas or Clark as English cover
T/D – Stewart & Rosas to Hall & Jackson (3 trades left) – Jackson to act as R/F cover for rest of year
Hi everyone
Stewart to
TU- Dawson
TD- Hewitt
Will leave me with 3 trades!!
Thanks
Hey guys,
apologies if this has been asked but does anyone know whether Harry Himmelberg will receive DDP status (Def/For) with the next batch ? And does this happen going into Round 18 or after Round 18 ?
Thanks everyone !
Rory Laird in doubt this weekend with a shoulder injury.
https://mobile.twitter.com/9NewsAdel/status/1542075905882918916
TU: Mills
TD: Walsh
Stewart to…
TU: Steele
TD: Bont
TU: Dawson
TD: Hall $70k
T/U – Whitfield
T/D – Hall
tu: Bont & Whitfield
td: Walsh & Hall
Tu – Darcy
TD – goldy
Is Luke Jackson still a player to get?
TU: Yes i need a forward line cover
TD: No not worth
I’m pondering the same question Plus…had traded him in for Jeffrey this week but may reverse that, as the worry is Gawn will be back in a week or so and it could severely affect Jackson’s scoring.
But…he will go up in price and hard to know where he’ll be used when Gawn’s back!
Just not sure its worth the risk…or a trade at this stage…
Also will they keep using Jackson in the ruck to play it safe with Gawn previous injuries? so much questions.
6 trades left and already carrying some weapons on the bench…
Should I replace Stewart with Docherty, or hold Stewart by burning two trades to bring in Pendles and a DPP nuff?
Lineup before trades:
DEF: Sicily, Sinclair, Stewart, Dawson, Hewett, Short (Wehr, D’Ambrosio)
MID: Oliver, Neale, Laird, Parish, Miller, Macrae, Cripps,Petracca (Clarke, Owens, Worner)
RUCK: Darcy, Jackson (Gawn)
FWD: English, Bontempelli, Dunkley, Brodie, Coniglio, Treloar (Rosas, Teakle)
TU: 1 trade. Stewart to Docherty. 5 trades left, $25k ITB. Carrying Gawn and English on bench, field Rosas for English.
TD: 2 trades. Wehr and Rosas to Pendles and N.Long. 4 trades left, 14k ITB. Carrying Gawn, English and Stewart on bench, field J.Clarke for English
Not sure how best to answer you Pumba – I guess it depends on if you are playing for OA or just leagues?
If OA, then trade Stewart I think.
If leagues, I may be inclined to hold Stewart … he may well end up being an awesome POD if people burn their remaining trades on players … and short term outs … and while you still have functional players listed and playing that are scoring (hopefully around 60 and above) as cover, they are gold with the outs that continue.
One other option that I haven’t seen a lot of talk on as DEF cover, and I am wondering and will ask below, is have you considered Kiddy Coleman from Lions?
$407K – averaging 79.4 and 3RA 85.3 and 5RA of 89.2
Seems to have a good role, rebounding and intercepting and taking some kick ins etc … and only 3% owned??
Just some thoughts?
Folks, as per my reply above to Pumba – can we get some thumbs / thoughts on Kiddy Coleman as a replacement / cover for Stewart (particularly if you are holding Stewart and in a price range) … he also has DPP to FWD if you have another on your bench in that space still (SDK / McCartain / Skinner may get a game?)
T/U – yes, appears great cover with role and numbers
T/D – nah someone else may be better (please nominate them!!)
Just a bit more than I’d like for what he gives. There’s a lot of players averaging 80 around that price. Pendles is $30k more and averaging 15 more points. Lloyd and Whitfield are $60k more and we all know they have potential to be really top tier talents but the year we’ve seen from both is still more points than Coleman despite them being disappointing. Just think even if they don’t improve, they’ll outscore him and both have the potential to just go 110+ from here
yep – but if you don’t have the dollars to go for them???
May ?
yeah his scores and averages seem poor this year … even with the suspension …
But may still be not a bad call Freo … just depends if the whole fiasco of his suspension has put him on the outer with his teammates and affected his game I guess … he was OK early on … so yes, not a bad call! (maybe into the unknown we go!!) … pity he doesn’t have the DPP swing …
Great call, albeit helped by Rich’s injury
Better to bring in Bazzo as a bubble downgrade DF
What to do with English… don’t want to hold I’m fed up with him
T/U Nankervis
T/D Cameron/ Darcy
Comment: Hold and give me a good reason why coz I’m done
He is back nextweek haha
If Preuss is playing this week should i hold Stewart only have 4 trades want to use that trade to finish off my defense so two trade on defense and stewart is the last which leave 2 trade left for injuries/suspension.
TU: Keep him and bench the player and use the rookie to cover
TD: Trade him out
Which option is better? I have 10 trades
TU: Option 1
C.Stephens -> $102k rookie + McCartin -> Dawson
This option also keeps Butters as my M9/F7
TD: Option 2
Butters -> Dawson
I have given up on English wasted three trades with him, been in and out of my team since Rd1, scored me very little points and lost heaps of dollars. Traded to Bont with 8 trades left and 2 boosts to finish the season.
T/U Good idea
T/D Bad idea
T/U: Trade Luke Ryan > Hall
T/D: Hold Ryan
5 trades left
7 trades left and I’m done with English and Bevo..
TU: Stewart/ English > Pruess/ Sicily
I could go Nank or Darcy but Pruess has proven he scores as well as them just needs a clear run at it.. leaves extra $ for last upgrade
TD: hold trades.. Field Parnell in defence and donut in ruck
Don’t think Preuss has been named has he!
Tu: Nank
TD: Darcy
10 Trades left.
Worth trading Daicos to Dawson?
Need to downgrade J Jeffrey
Any thoughts ?
Slim pickin’s this week…same dilemma.
I only have 2 trades left.
Don’t want to trade but. I have SDK sitting at D7 and Curtis covering English at F6. I would rather SDK at F6. I also have Preuss currently at R3 and 35K in bank.
Should I trade a cheap DP or save a trade?
TU: Yes
TD: No
If you have a DM and MF on your bench you can trade your players out and back into the position you want them in and it won’t cost you a trade
Trades in hand so can afford to be a bit cute. With the plan to probably move them to English/Libba at F6 in the next week or two..
TU – Goldstein
TD – J Cameron (v NTH)
Cheers!
