  1. 5 trades left, 12.2K ITB, team as follows;
    Def; N.Daicos, Stewart, Dawson, Docherty, Sheezel. S. Mitchell (Mullin, Constable).
    Mid; Bontempelli, Petracca, Laird, Neale, Brayshaw (Freo), N. Anderson, T. Green, Ashcroft (Thomas, Fletcher, Sharp).
    Ruc; English, Marshall (Madden).
    Fwd; Dunkley, Taranto, Butters, Rozee, Coniglio, Cameron (Sheldrick, Maric).

    Will trade Mitchell for Sicily, but should I fund it with Ashcroft or Thomas (will bring in a DPP rookie)? Ashcroft will have a lower BE, Thomas provides more flexibility with Dunkley still potentially missing at least next week. Also not sure who scores more for the rest of the year, given Ashcroft doesn’t score as well away from the Gabba. Sheldrick likely to get a spot somewhere if Dunkley misses again.

    Thoughts?

    TU; Trade Ashcroft
    TD; Trade Thomas

    Comment; do something else. And who is the best DPP rookie?

    TIA.

  2. Have 5 trades left, but also have Ridley, Lloyd and Dunkley with little to no bench cover.

    No actual trade talk as I have no idea what I’ll do, just throwing it out there for those in a pickle, you’re not alone….

        1. Just from what I’ve heard/seen.

          Dunkley – word is its became a strain and they’re going to be cautious, likely another week minimum

          Ridley – nasty hyper extension, came back on then subbed, on the lower end

          Lloyd – concussed, protocol, yadda yadda

          Dunks becomes a problem if it gets indeterminate like Satan. Lions’ medical team/injury history been the competition best the last few years, so their time frame and word should be good.

  3. Macrae is listed as not playing next round in the supercoach. Is that a bug or is there something I don’t know about?

    1

    2
  4. 6 trades remaining, $33k ITB.

    Briggs out, Docherty in as D5, forcing Sheezel to D7

    Leaves me with 5 trades, $2k ITB and flexibility between lines including ruck:
    Def: Daicos, Dawson, Houston, Sinclair, Doc, Day (Sheezel, S.Mitchell)
    Mid: Bont, Dunkley, Merret, Neale, Macrae, T.Green, LDU, Mills (Fletcher, Chesser, Constable)
    Ruck: Marshall, Gawn (Madden)
    Fwd: Gulden, Taranto, Rozee, Keays, Coniglio, Cameron (Maric, Roberts)

    Appreciate any feedback or suggestions

    1. I like this team, the weekend has shown how important decent coverage will be heading into the business end.

      Could you do this trade but make Constable your D8 and either Sheezel or Mitchell your F7, add even more flexibility and hopefully loophole options?

      1. Great suggestion… had to “sell” Doc and bring him back in to achieve it, but it’s certainly a great idea, thanks.

        D7 Sheezel, D8 Constable
        M9 Fletcher, M10 Chesser, M11 Roberts
        R3 Madden
        F7 Mitchell, F8 Maric

    1. HBerg hould’ve done more than 90 over the weekend. Had some late clangers, FAs and a 50m. Played a good SC game. Covers Sheezel, yeah.

      They put Cumming on a wing and the FWD line won’t change.

      Depends how many trades you have. More than 3, go for it imo.

      Saad also good.

      2

      1
      1. Yeah, that’s exactly what I think. He’s had bad games with a great role while Sheezel is just getting thrown all over the place which isn’t helpful. The poll definitely disagrees with us though

  7. Plan this week was Steele to Sicily, but Steele saves himself.

    Who to trade for Sicily?

    TU: Titch
    TD: Tom Green

    7

    11
    1. Trade Titch.

      Green in 80% of both Top 1k and Top 5k teams. You don’t want to open yourself up to start getting punished by him.

      3

      1. Bad run home for the Giants, including the two hardest teams for mids to play against in SC finals (Carl & Port).

  8. Day Sheezel Mitchell > Sicily Doch Cunningham
    Leaves me with 3 trades and Mills M8 but not great over. Cincotta in Def, Cunningham Maric Mid/Forward

    TU Yes great trades
    TD No don’t do it

    10

  9. Upgrading Sheezel for last Forward Spot, have Dunkley, Gulden, Taranto, Macrae, Cogs and Jezza Cameron as M7/Loop.

    TU: Butters
    TD: Rozee

    Comment: Other

  10. Sheezel for Sicily? will leave me with 1 trade left with a completed team
    Tu do It
    TD save the trade

    31

  11. Trading out Mitchell and Johnson to finish my team, have $775,100 to play with.

    TU: Sicily and a rookie
    TD: Neale and a rookie

    Open for any other suggestions, this will also leave me with Maric and Fletcher as my only bench cover so the rookie of choice could be important…

    12

    7
  12. Day to Sicily
    Leaves me with 4 trades left and $14,700 for any injuries.
    This brings my team to full-premium – no faux-premiums like Day, Sheezel, Keays, etc.

    TU: Trade Away
    TD: Hold Sicily and the 5 Trades

    28

  13. had zero trades left going into rd17..
    Of course I have Ridley, Lloyd, McGovern, Impey and Dunkley.
    Apologies if I am in one of your leagues.

  14. Who to trade in for final spot:

    T/U – James Sicily
    T/D – Noah Anderson

    Comment – Connor Rozee

  15. Only person in my league to have both Lloyd and the Riddler. Can cover Lloyd for a week with Mckenna, If Ridley out for weeks…….

    T/u Sicily
    T/d Stewart

    13

    14
    1. I also have Lloyd and Ridley (and Dunks) – Wilmot covers one, Sheldrick covers one, possibly Sheezel via DPP but waiting to see in how long Ridley will be out for. Any thoughts? Lloyd and Dunks will hopefully only miss one more….. hopefully.

      2

      1
    1. Dunkley was the direct Lyons upgrade Tim. There’s no spot in the side for him now… be a good replacement for Greenwood at North!

  16. Very big decision to make this week after making no trades last weeks.

    5 trades left $11 in the bank, Day D6, Steele M8, Cameron F6. Of the 3 hating Cameron most but he is my ruck cover.

    TU – Johnson > Harvey Day > Sicily
    3 trades left huge scorer on the run home.

    Or

    TD – Johnson > Harvey Harrison > Banks
    Sheldrick > Butters
    2 trades means I have a 23rd premo and can loop Steele and Cameron.

    5

    2
    1. If I go with Option 2 I can probably even wait a week as Butters will go down / Sheldrick go up enough for me to not need the third trade

  17. Why am I seeing a few people looking to move Briggs on? Is he injured because I can’t see the logic otherwise?

  18. Currently have Naicos, Stewart, Sinclair, Dawson and Sicily. Looking to move on Sheezel for full premo:

    T/U: Ryan
    T/D: Docherty
    Comment: Others??

    Cheers!

  19. I’m 1 trade short on finalising a team (could not say it will be full premo with Day etc still in there but cash gen is limiting my options). Have 6 trades (1 boost) left. Have $91k ITB. In absence of cash gen I’m thinking of moving Grundy on for Briggs. This would mean I’m probs stuck with Cincotta or Mullin on the field down back for some time as cash surplus and generation has dried up.

    TU – do it

    TD – wait for more $$ to replace Cincotta

    0

    14
  20. 4 trades & not much cash, so if Ridley is gonna miss I have already decided to side trade to Docherty

    5

    0
  21. Any suggestion on trades would be great!

    2 trades – 23k ITB

    Daicos, Stewart, Dawson, Ryan, Sinclair, D. Williams (Young, Mullin)
    Bont, Merrett, Neale, Gulden, Laird, Serong, T. Mitchell, T.Thomas (Blakely, Constable, Tsitsas)
    English, Briggs (J. Williams)
    Dunkley, Taranto, Rozee, Cogs, D.Cameron, Sheezel (Lohmann, Roberts)

    Looking at possibly upgrading Sheezel as his BE is looking quite high this week, but unsure whether it’s worth it? Would potentially trade out Young for a bit of cash gen

    1. With only $23k in the bank, any meaningful upgrade is going to take your last 2 trades.

      Your bench cover isn’t great, so I actually think you are better off holding and saving those trades for injuries. Or doing this manouvre a in 2-3 weeks where the risk is lesser.

      11

      0
  22. Undecided, have both Zeibell and Sheezel, was going to trade one of those 2 with Fyfe but unsure which one, only have 4 trades left and this will only leave me with 2. I also have Lloyd and Dunkley with weak cover ( Chessers and Robertson)
    I’m wondering whether Zeibell’s omission was a scare and will be back at it or North are just playing the kids for the rest of the year. Second to this, I have an option of either going Petracca or Sicily.
    So to start off trade out
    TU Sheezel
    TD Zeibell

    1

    10
  23. 1 trade left, should I trade Lloyd to Redman or Young (all i can afford)?

    Not comfortable having either of them over Lloyd in my team but if i hold ill be handicapped this weekend having to field S Mitchell and Sheldrick (covering Dunkley)

    Tu: do the trade
    Td: hold and cop lower points for a round. At worse trade Dunkley to Petracca if he is likely to miss more than 1 more week.

    1. Day has tonned up in 3 of his last 4 games.
      Are there any other similar priced players that are petforming worse that you can offload?

      5

      0
      1. $100 short of offloading Sheezel to Sicily unless I go for a $102k rookie? Or offload Mitchell instead to Harvey. What’s better?

        4

        0
        1. Depending on bench depth, you don’t necessarily need to bring in a playing rookie so I’d definitely consider the $102k option

          0

          0
          1. Maybe go Dewar from WCE who is $102k def fwd. Then you can swing S Mitchell as fwd or def cover or use as a loop if needed.

            Dewar also i think if the most likely $102k def to get a game.

            2

            0
  24. Is Dusty an option? Thinking S.Mitchell to him in one trade to complete team. 3 trades left after that. Or hold Seamus.

    2

    9
  25. 6 trades left and I may need to move on one of Lloyd or Ridley on the loose assumption both will miss a week and I can cover the other with Cincotta

    TU: Ridley > Sicily
    TD: Lloyd > Ryan

    15

    1
  26. With Ridley being touch & go to play this week (I already have Lloyd which I need to cover), I’m thinking even if Ridley does play he’ll be affected.

    I don’t have much cash so I was thinking a side awap to Docherty?

  27. Need help on what to do
    Trades = 2 (1 boost)
    ITB = 16,600

    Backs: Daicos, Dawson, Sinclair, Day, Sheezel, Houston (Chesser, Constable)

    Mids: Bont, Merrett, Laird, Neale, Brayshaw, Dunkley, Walsh, Sheldrick (Simpson, Fletcher, Roberts)

    Rucks: English, Marshall (Madden)

    Forwards: Liam Henry, Taranto, Butters, Rozee, Gulden, Coniglio (Maric, Windhager)

    1

    0
    1. Liam Henry? What in the world lol.

      Yeah, there’s no advice we can give. It’s a matter of personal preference when you want to fire off those last 2 trades for a premo and how long you’re willing to ride trade-less.

      Good luck.

      1

      9
    2. i’d just try and loop Sheldrick/Fletcher/Henry/Windhager as best you can over the next few weeks and hold those last 2 trades

  28. 5 trades left, assuming I won’t need to trade Dunkley, one upgrade left:

    TU: Johnson to Steele, 4 trades left with potential to luxury trade Sheez/DCam
    TD: McKenna and Johnson to 102k rookie and Trac, 3 trades left

    2

    6
      1. Daicos averaged 20 more points post bye last year

        Pre-bye average 83 (13 games)
        Post-bye average 103 (9 games)

        7

        1
          1. He only played 9 games after his bye… you need to remove the 3 finals he played from the dataset

            1

            0
  29. can do one luxury trade this week.

    Either:

    TU: Gawn to English

    or

    TD: Green/Titch/Steele to Sicily

    The English trade is a safe trade. Gawn only 7% (teams in top 10%) to English who is 70%. Its been hard watching English’s scores every week and not being an owner.

    The Sicily trade is the fun trade. Had him all year until his suspension. My favourite player in the AFL. plus it gives me a great M/Def swing set with Dawson to the guts.

    If i go Sicily, i’ll have to trade one of Green, Titch or Steele. last week it was 100% Steele, but now i’m not so sure?

    any suggestions?

    15

    0
    1. Now that Gawn missed DPP there is no good reason to keep him. He scores very well when in the ruck but with his time forward and on the bench he doesnt spend enough time there to get those big scores.

      English is a beast and could score 160 this week against sydney

      3

      0
  30. Does anyone believe that sheezel can get back to seagul scoring? Starts to play the teams he tonned up against. Any chance they try get the ball in his hands and play the kids for back half of the season?
    TU yes
    TD No upgrade to doch/Daniel

    6

    4
  31. I don’t own Serong, but what would you do with him this week since he is out due to his suspension being upheld?
    Dunkley also ruled out, so do you hold or trade Serong?

    TU Hold
    TD Trade

    15

    1
  32. TU: Sheezel -> Docherty, SMitch as D7, 30k in bank
    TD: SMitch -> Himmelberg, Sheezel as D7, 100k in bank.

    For reference, cash in hand would be useful, as will be down to 1 trade after this week, and could allow for an upgrade in the future. e.g. Mills -> Touk or Briggs -> English

    4

    2
  33. Fortunate enough to be able to cover both LLoyd and Ridley if need be, via Ginbey and McKenna….not the best but saves a trade there.

    Would then have to trade Fyfe for one of these m/f options

    TU Gresham
    TD T Thomas

    Comment JHF and anyone else < $400k

    5
  34. This week
    TU Fyfe > Mills
    TD Thomas > LDU/Cripps/Steele
    Comment – wait for Thomas > Butters/Kelly/Touk next week?

    Currently have Ashcroft M8, and Thomas F6 covering Dunkley

  35. Currently 227th OA

    Thinking of being aggressive and using 2 remaining trades

    Greene to Steele

  36. Doing my last upgrade in defence from Seamus Mitchell to best available defender.
    I have $141k in the bank meaning $527k.
    What’s the best trade in for a defender up to $527k or should I try and make some extra cash from my bench. I have 5 trades left.
    Current defensive line is:
    Daicos, Dawson, Ryan, sinclair, sheezel, Mitchell.

  37. 5 trades left. Have Lloyd, Dunkley and Sheldrick out this week.

    TU: Sheldrick and Windhager to Docherty & 102k rookie – Sheezel D6, Fletcher M8, Maric F6 (Docherty would be in the mids) for this week
    TD: Sheldrick and Windhager to Walsh & 102k rookie – Mullin D6, Mills M8, Maric F6 for this week
    Or any other premos under 565k that would be better to trade in.

    2

    1
  38. With Sheldrick out changes my plans. Don’t want to rely on Maric on field however long Dunkley is out.

    So Day to Sicily (from previous post off the table now).

    TU – Use 3 trades and get Butters / Martin as 23rd Premo (2 trades left)

    TD – Use 2 trades and get Macrae as 23rd Premo (2 trades left).
    Noting i already have Dale, Bont, Libba, English…

    0

    2
    1. The fact that you already have Dale, Bont, Libba & English in your personal supercoach team has no bearing on how Macrae scores. A lot of people had 4 and 5 Bulldogs in their forward line towards the end of last year when Treloar and Libba got DPP, and some had 6. (Libba, Bont, English, Bazlenka, Treloar, Dunkley)

      1. Really tough decision between Mills and LDU. The others are not an option in my opinion.
        LDU – why would any one bother tagging North players. Injuries been an issue.
        Mills – Always the risk Horse uses Mills to plug holes away from midfield.

        I’d go with LDU

        3

        2
        1. Mills 100k cheaper. Take out the 4 and the return game and ave is around 100. LDU at 107. Similar ceilings, Mills floor is the thing that is FUH dependant (think FURL) it just depends if the 100k gets you to another player with more than the 7 point difference…

  44. 2 trades left. Looks like I will be minus Ridley and Cox. Assuming Constable doesn’t play this leaves me with a donut and I don’t like donuts. Team as follows with $50K in the bank:

    D – N Daicos, Stewart, Dawson, Docherty, Ridley, Cox (Wilmot, Constable)
    M – Bont, Merrett, Neale , Brayshaw, Rowell, Walsh, J Daicos, Mills (Sheldrick, Drury, Sinn)
    R – Marshall, Briggs (McAndrew)
    F – Dunkley, Gulden, Taranto, Rozee, Keays, Coniglio (S Mitchell, Madden)

    T/U – Sicily for Cox/Ridley and Mitchell leaving no trades.
    T/D – Cox/Ridley for Day leaving me one trade and the ability to move Wilmot to M and use Day/Dawson/Wilmot’s DPP to cover injuries.
    Comment – other.

    Cheers.

  49. Got a bit of a problem

    DEF – Daicos, Stewart, Dawson, Ryan, Sinclair, Lloyd (Banks, Constable)
    MID – Petracca, Merrett, Macrae, Serong, Laird, Green, Walsh, Johnson (Sheldrick, Drury, Roberts)
    RUC – Marshall, English (Madden)
    FWD – Dunkley, Taranto, Gulden, Coniglio, Sheezel, Mitchell (Maric, Buller)

    $160ishk remaining and 4 trades

    Needed to make my 4 trades count for getting a full enough premo side by finals. Was gonna trade out Johnson and get more cash from Sheldrick, but it looks like I’m gonna have to ditch him instead (for either Wagner or Harvey, they’re the only options). Then I have about $400k to upgrade Mitchell to a premo fwd

    Or should just take donuts to have a better chance at premo, I dunno I’m stuck on what I should do
