  1. Playing for overall
    Nic Martin is hurting me most weeks.

    Team is finalised, is it worth using 2 trades to move him to someone like a McGovern or Holmes?

    Will leave me with 3 trades for injuries.

    Tu; Pull the trigger
    Td; Hold the trades

  3. It was very painful watching Ridley play on Saturday night.
    He has gotta go.
    I need to dump a defender so I can create DPP cover in defence.
    So Ridley out. DAicos to defence but who comes in?
    Thumbs up Dunkley
    Thumbs down Sinclair
    Will leave me with 5 trades.
    Shoemaker defensive cover
    Freijah/McKercher mid cover
    Comben forward cover ( maybe Sexton considering how Conben is going.
    Jackson is ruck cover.

    1. 4 trades left, full premo minus one Forward. Current forward line looks like this.
      Flanders, Heeney, Zorko, Fisher, Jackson, Kruger (Day, Dawson)
      I can trade Leek Aleer and have enough to afford Lukosius, this give me flexibility to have him as a D7 or F6, plus it’s just one trade.
      TU. Do the one trade
      TD Use 2 trades and get Rankin

    2. Why would you trade out curnow?
      Had one bad score yesterday in the wet, conditions did not suit key fwds..

      Will likely win the Coleman and has a very nice run home. Expect some big scores especially come SC finals time. Hold!!

  19. Any further insight to Zac fisher getting subbed off on the weekend? Is something we should be concerned about and have trade plans potentially in place?!

    1. He has a minor knock to his leg and will be assessed later in the week. I don’t think the decision to sub him was any more or less than that. He was on track for a pretty big score.

  29. Do I have the following right?…..
    SC league finals are played during Rnd 21/22/23/24 inclusive.
    Thus there is still Rnd 17/18/19/20 inclusive of league games to play.

    So how many trades is it good to have coming into league finals?
    My team currently has C.Curnow as F5 & one rookie (frejah) F6 still on field , otherwise I’m pretty happy . 11 Trades left and sitting 3rd in my personal league.

    2. You have the qualifying & finals rounds correct 🙂

      And it is obviously a personal preference question, but I like to go into SC finals with a full premo team – and with either 4 or 5 x trades left if possible

      Not always easy to have that many trades left though !!

      The aim for league wins is to finish in the top 4 to get the double chance – so not sure if you are “entrenched” in the top 4 (or it is close between say the top 6 teams)

      Look at your remaining opponents in rounds 17 to 20, and trade a bit harder if you are not entrenched in the top 4

      So you can maybe look to do 1 to 2 downgrades this week to a Schoenmakers or Evans or Lawson Humphries type (if you need cover on your benches) or maybe downgrade to a non playing $102,400 duel position rookie if you already have good cover on the benches

      And then upgrade Freijah (BE = 20) next week (to say Caldwell or Rankine if you don’t have them) once he gets to around $310,000

      Or you can upgrade him this week ot Caldwell – as Caldwells break even is also very low (47)

      Freijah has been a very good & consistent rookie with all scores in the 50 to 79 range – but it is time to go unless you want to keep him for bench cover

      Good luck !!

      1. Hey BMH,
        Your thoughts are well considered and appreciated. The downgrades noted plus the Caldwell and Rankine are good options.
        Was trying to keep 6 trades for finals, but can still see the worth of 4-5.

        Cheers.

  36. 5 trades left and Matty Rowell, the tribe has spoken.

    Rozee (cheap, but cheap for a reason?)
    Cripps (Carlton have the nice run home but there’s a lot of bodies running through that Carlton midfield)

  37. Better to have Z.Willams and T.Powell on field or Ryan/Rankine and a rookie (dowling/evans)? have lots of rookie cover on the bench but would have to wait a few weeks to generate cash to upgrade whichever rookie (who is the last rookie on field)
    T/U Williams and Powell
    T/D Ryan/Rankine and a rookie

  40. TU :
    OUT Aleer & H Garcia – IN Caldwell & Evans/Humphries
    Keeps both Reville & Freijah as MID & FWD bench

    TD :
    OUT Aleer & one of either Freijah/Reville – IN Rankine & Evans/Humphries
    Sacrifices one of Freijan/Reville (whoever stays covers both MID & FWD bench)

  42. Hi everyone – advice please!! Keep in mind play league only and am guaranteed to finish top 4 – 9 trades left but no money

    Def: Daicos, Sheezel, Whitfield, Martin, Dale, NWM. ( Reid, SEXTON)
    Mid: Bont, Gulden, Butters, Green, Miller, Dawson, Serong , Rozee ( Sullivan, Dowling, Sullivan)
    Ruck: Gawn, Grundy ( Livinstone)
    Fwd: Zorko, Heeney, Flanders, Moore, Fisher, JACKSON ( Frejaih, Dawson)

    I think weakest player now onfield is Jackson/Sexton – would take 2 trades to get one up to a Caldwell/Rankine or 3 trades to keep all and upgrade bench rookies only – Jackson ruck coverage but if ruck goes down would just trade for a better ruck anyway – Sexton provides bench coverage in backline (plus forward if needed )

    Other option is to just hold and pick up cash from rookie downgrades!!

    Any extra advice /thoughts would be greatly appreciated but with the above info will ask the following

  47. I might be doing this all wrong when it comes to trades. Only playing for league wins bragging rights, I check my next opponents team and projected scores not that they mean much but if I am projected score is a win of say 400 I only trade injuries or very high BE. Thoughts??

    1. Yeah, so your opponents updated team only shows on Gameday post-trades and reset from the last round when the first game of the current round starts.

      So to look at PODs and whatnot just look at their team through Leagues. Better look.
