I’m saying trade but out of the next 5 games who really tags him? They’ve got port, Carlton, bulldogs, Gold Coast & pies ?
Might be a bit of attention with port and Carlton but not heavy tags
The other 2 trade able players are Erasmus & Carroll.
Carroll has a -8 BE so he’s most likely a hold and I do like the DPP of Erasmus but he is an option to trade to have a a bit more cash in bank for future luxury or injury trades.
Would you rather?
TU: Have 22 premos, ignore the flex and have 4 trades to sideway underperforming premos
TD: Have 23 premos, including flex, and have 2 trades to sideway underperforming premos
I have the likes of TDK, Neale, Warner, Rankine i’d like to swing if possible
In the same predicament, and I reckon 23 premos is the right call. I also have tdk, neale and warner but the whole point of the flex is to make up for anyone that has a bad week. Having a reliable flex can save you from needing those extra trades anyway. So I reckon go for it.
6 trades remaining with McCarthy as my 23rd currently sitting in my flex.
TU: Sit tight for a few weeks and hold trades
TD: Go down to 4 and grab Mills through trading out Carroll & Clarke
Thinking some coaches will be in a similar spot to myself this week and with still roughly 9 weeks left I’m leaning towards holding the trades personally and hoping McCarthy can be serviceable as my 23rd for the time being. Only risk with this approach is that it may result in needing to use an extra trade long term to get another decent ‘premo’ as Mills will likely be out of reach in 2 trades.
Interested to hear the thoughts of the community though, cheers!
Not sure it’s as easy as that – Neale has shown in the past he is an uber premium scorer who doesn’t get too overwhelmed with a tag.
I’m leaning towards keeping Neale due to his proven track record as opposed to Ashcroft who is still an emerging talent. Neale’s ceiling is massive and you don’t get to dual Brownlow medal status by coincidence. I still think he has it in him to get 130+’s – Open to opinion though!
5 trades left after Clarke to McCarthy and just need to fill the forward line so:
TU: 2 trades to bring in Darcy
TD: 1 trade to bring in a poddy forward below $380k
7 trades left, still need a premium defender and mid to finish my team. Playing for league, sitting 5th of 20.
TU: Do I use 2 trades this week to get Mills
TD: Wait it out and let some of my rookies make more cash (Trainor, Carroll, O’Sullivan, Johnson) and then upgrade
10 trades left with one more upgrade for full premo (might take 2 other trades to get there but waiting for a few to finish making cash) is it worth sideways trading Neale for Bont this week?
Desperately trying to claw back some wins after disastrous bye rounds. Neale’s inconsistency has cost me games and I think his days of getting big scores are over. Changes to my mids will finalise that part of my team.
Thinking:
T/U
Gross to Liddy
Neale to Butters
T/D
Gross to Liddy
Neale to Serong
Love to hear your thoughts to help a coach in need of some help! Cheers!
TU: Bo Allan (This options means I will have the ability to swing McCarthy/Allan through Def/Mid and use them as cover and loopholes, however will have no fwd cover)
TD: Sam Butler (This option means I will have cover in every line, however I won’t be able to use McCarthy as a loop option in defence as he will be stuck in my mids. Ideally would love to loop him as my D7 for the remainder of the season)
T/U: 1 trade – Boxshall to McCarthy (McCarthy as flex)
T/D: 3 trades – A. Clarke, Z. Johnson & Boxshall to Bo Allan, McCarthy & Mills (Mills as Flex, use Allan to swing McCarthy between Def & Mids as cover)
At the moment I’m thinking: Carroll, Clarke and Knevitt to Darcy, Bo Allan and Liddy
Also who would you rather have for the rest of the season on the bench?
TU – A. Clarke
TD – Z. Johnson
1 forward.
TU Darcy
TD Warner
Comment someone else. $500k or under
Got sucked into Warner on the premise of full time mid after 2 tons a few weeks ago. Avoid like the mother in law.
Who for final upgrade:
TU: JHF
TD: Darcy
8 trades left, teams basically finished but mills d6, tom McCarthy flex.
With 8 trades would you move on a lachie Neale? Tags incoming and is super frustrating, could sideways to a Daicos or someone!!
TU – Trade Neale
TD – Keep
My thoughts too, Charlie! I’ll be moving him on for the same reasons.
I’m saying trade but out of the next 5 games who really tags him? They’ve got port, Carlton, bulldogs, Gold Coast & pies ?
Might be a bit of attention with port and Carlton but not heavy tags
Im holding, will be 4 trades left once team is complete, rather save that for injury. Worst case can loop with McCarthy on bench
Hoping the bye helps and every chance next game he goes 120 and Dunks or Ash go 80
Last forward spot
Tu: Macrae
Td: Darcy
Rookie with better JS
Tu: Liddy
Td: Bo Allan
8 trades left, prob going to need 3 of these for last premo upgrade.
Worthing doing a straight swap: Chad Warner to Sam Darcy?
Needing to upgrade my forward, thinking:
Hewitt —> Darcy
Erasmus—> Macrae
Cleary—>Butler
14k left after, cheers
Currently 6 trades left with 22 premos and McCarthy at Flex!
Is it worth trading A. Clarke and Z. Johnson to C. Mills and rookie to finish side?
Would be full premo with 4 trades left.
TU – Yes, make the move
TD – No, hold for now still 9 rounds left and could be plenty of carnage.
Cheers everyone!
Can you trade anyone else besides Clarke?
The other 2 trade able players are Erasmus & Carroll.
Carroll has a -8 BE so he’s most likely a hold and I do like the DPP of Erasmus but he is an option to trade to have a a bit more cash in bank for future luxury or injury trades.
Would you rather?
TU: Have 22 premos, ignore the flex and have 4 trades to sideway underperforming premos
TD: Have 23 premos, including flex, and have 2 trades to sideway underperforming premos

Last defensive spot
TU – 2 trades Mills
TD – 3 trades Rozee
Nine trades left. I don’t wanna go early on McCarthy but it’s the only way I can make this work.
Merrett -> Bont
Long -> Darcy
Hustwaite -> McCarthy
TU – Darcy
TD – JHF
Comment – Macrae
TU – Macrae
6 trades left $396k ITB, full premo except flex if you include mills D6 and and Daniel & Warner in my fwd line.
Already done hustwaite and visentini to butler and McCarthy.
Now should I save the trade this week leaving me with 4, or use my third trade to turn either Clarke, gray, or day-wicks to my last premo for my flex?
TU – Macrae
TD – Serong
OR, turn neale into a more reliable mid.
Do we have an official word on if WHITFIELD will be available for round 17???
He’ll have to go through the protocols. Won’t know for sure until next week
He’ll be right I reckon. Looked OK in the back row of the dugout celebrating the teams comeback
Erasmus, Clarke and Keeler out
Mills, Butler and Liddy in
Team has struggled this year, due to some suspicious coaching and a bit of bad luck. 5 trades and 125K left for final mid upgrade
6 trades remaining with McCarthy as my 23rd currently sitting in my flex.
TU: Sit tight for a few weeks and hold trades
TD: Go down to 4 and grab Mills through trading out Carroll & Clarke

Do you have Whitfield?
If not, can you hold your 6 x trades & then get Whitfield in a few weeks time when his price bottoms out
Already a Whitfield owner and planning on holding him!
Who would you trade out:
TU: Neale
TD: Will Ashcroft
Realise Ashcroft is in decent form but who is more likely to bring it home? Whoever gets traded out gets upgraded to Bont
Who would you say gets less tags?
Not sure it’s as easy as that – Neale has shown in the past he is an uber premium scorer who doesn’t get too overwhelmed with a tag.
I’m leaning towards keeping Neale due to his proven track record as opposed to Ashcroft who is still an emerging talent. Neale’s ceiling is massive and you don’t get to dual Brownlow medal status by coincidence. I still think he has it in him to get 130+’s – Open to opinion though!
Clarke, Erasmus –> May, Mills
Gets me to full premo with 9 trades and 1 boost left. Roberts D6, Neale M8, Daniel F6, and Mills flex.
Trades will be kept for underperforming premos and injuries/suspensions. Targeting bringing in Gawn, Sinclair by finals.
Well done
5 trades left after Clarke to McCarthy and just need to fill the forward line so:
TU: 2 trades to bring in Darcy
TD: 1 trade to bring in a poddy forward below $380k

5 rounds left + finals? You might need to save some trades IMO
TU: Bont
TD: Butters
10 trades left with one more upgrade for full premo (might take 2 other trades to get there but waiting for a few to finish making cash) is it worth sideways trading Neale for Bont this week?
Tu: Do it
Tu: Hold Neale
Desperately trying to claw back some wins after disastrous bye rounds. Neale’s inconsistency has cost me games and I think his days of getting big scores are over. Changes to my mids will finalise that part of my team.

Warner and Whitfield to Jackson and Mills
TU – Yes
TD – No
Better option regarding rookies/bench cover?
TU: Bo Allan (This options means I will have the ability to swing McCarthy/Allan through Def/Mid and use them as cover and loopholes, however will have no fwd cover)
TD: Sam Butler (This option means I will have cover in every line, however I won’t be able to use McCarthy as a loop option in defence as he will be stuck in my mids. Ideally would love to loop him as my D7 for the remainder of the season)
8 trades left
T/U: 1 trade – Boxshall to McCarthy (McCarthy as flex)
T/D: 3 trades – A. Clarke, Z. Johnson & Boxshall to Bo Allan, McCarthy & Mills (Mills as Flex, use Allan to swing McCarthy between Def & Mids as cover)
Cheers
C.Gray, Johnson & Clarke > Butler, Allan & Darcy
Leaves me with 6 trades/1 boost, $47k in the bank and full premo except Jack Martin and Jaxon Binns on-field.
Bench cover includes Carroll, McCarthy, Rowston, Allan & Butler.
If you say full premo except for 2 rookies on-field, then you are not full premo lol.
Is it worth trading neale if it means I can get mills to finish backs and jhf to finish Fwd?
T.u yes
T d no
Do you have Whitfield?
If not, can you hold your 6 x trades & then get Whitfield in a few weeks time when his price bottoms out
TU: IN: Day, Liddy and May
OUT: Johnson, Clarke, Hustwaite.
Day would be M6 but I’d have full Premo bar my flex
TD: IN: Lual, Liddy, Darcy
OUT: Carrol, Johnson, Clarke
Darcy would be FWD allowing me to put one of Trac, Smith, Rankine, Macrae, Warner or JHF as my last midfielder full Premo bar my flex
If you had enough trades in which order would you upgrade the below?
Roberts, Caleb Daniel, Kerch, Rankine, Cerra
Hey Guys, bit stumped on what to do this week – would appreciate any help please. What would you do with this team? 13 trades, $63k ITB
Clark, Dale, NWM, Sheezel, Rozee, Roberts (Clarke, Hayes)
Brayshaw, Butters, Bont, Dawson, Sinc, Cerra, Petracca, Kerch (Johnson, Hastie, Campo)
Xerri, TDK (West)
Baz, Macrae, Daniel, JHF, Warner, Rankine (Gray, Simpson)
