  1. Trading Matthew Nicks who anyone with an IQ higher than 10
    TU: Do it
    TD: Be sympathetic to the mentally challenged and keep him for another week

  2. 3 trades, on track for another poor season after being a god all those years ago.

    Rowell, Sexton, DCam most problematic.

    At a minimum trading Sexton (Hogan maybe).

    DCam ribs should be fine.

    Rowell murdering me. Had him early so had those fat scores but just watching him mule to 80 each week is pain. Don’t even care his backend fixture is okay.

    Tricky.

    1. Rankine may be a bigger trade priority if he gets 3+ weeks.
      Im leaning to holding and looping with mannagh and dowling. Nothing great you can move to at his price in 1 trade

  8. Probably a bit early to think of trades considering –
    McGovern (WCE) injured
    Gawn – subbed off with dodgey ankle
    Cameron- sore ribs
    Heeney – MRO strife (not much in it I reckon)
    Rankin – MRO strife (a bit more in this one)

    All just to name a few.

    I will probably replace McGovern with Fisher via DPP and then bring in Cripps via more DPP magic.

    Trade Gawn for Livingstone and swing Jackson into ruck via Kreuger.
    Trade Rankine for Caldwell and move Heeney onto mid bench via Dowling.
    Will mean I’m fielding Dowling, Reville & Krueger this week, but over 600k in the bank for two upgrades next week when Heeney returns. 3 trades left.

    1. Lol. In the same boat as me, Buzzo.

      Gawn was fine then became 2-3.

      On our man DCam, I gave it a goog and found this:

      “Collingwood ruckman Darcy Cameron will be assessed during the week after he was taken to hospital following his team’s defeat to Essendon on Friday night.

      The 28-year-old premiership player was checked over for potential cracked ribs and any internal damage but was cleared of serious problems the following day.

      Cameron had already been monitored during the week following a heavy hit at training.”

      Think we keep our fingers crossed and hope be gets up v Catters?

      At this stage Gawn out longer with a confirmed 2-3.

        May as well give the team:

        1. Looks like you need a forward and 520 is just a bit short for Caldwell who would be the pick. Could do Fisher if he’s back this week or pick your favourite key forward out of Curnow, Daniher, Waterman, Cameron and Hogan. I think the best play might be Simpkin or Matt Kennedy who are at least mids and seem to have hit a decent patch as of late

    1. Tom Fullarton Likely to come into the side. Jacob van Rooyen has been supporting Gawn all year so likely to have extra time in the ruck.

      Will Verrall and Kyah Farris-White are still Underdeveloped and unlikely get a AFL call up.

  63. I have Miller, Rankine and Gawn. 4+ weeks, 4 weeks, and 2-3 weeks.
    Last week on the injury list, Cox was listed as a Round 19-21 return. Hope a better update can make my decision easier this week.

    Only 4 trades left, but going for Overall (845 currently)

    Option 1: Trade Gawn and Rankine this week and then have Dowling/Humphries cover Miller this week. Then trade Miller next week with 1 trade left and only 22 premiums.

    Option 2: Trade Miller and Rankine, then have Kreuger cover Gawn hoping it will only be 2 weeks and Cox won’t return early. Leaves me with 2 trades

    TU: Option 1

  69. Playing for leagues. 5 trades remaining & $13K. Nervous about using remaining trades.
    Need to replace Touk, will require 2 trades as I am just short of getting the cheapest desirable mid (Rozee) unless I compromise and get Rowell. Then I though if I am making two trades then should I trade injured Gawn to maximise premos on field of next 2-3 weeks.

    Sinclair, Sheezel, Daicos, Houston, NWM, N Martin (Shoenmaker, Z Reid)
    Bont, LDU, Butters, Merrett, T Green, Steele, TOUK (Dowling, Mannagh, Humphries)
    GAWN, Grundy, (Maley)
    Flanders, Heeeney, Zorko, Caldwell, Jackson, Fisher (Fyfe, Hutchinson)

  75. I’m in a little bit of a pickle with the injuries and suspensions like most people

    DEF – Sheezel, Daicos, Ryan, Holmes, Ridley, Stewart (Aleer, Schoenmaker)
    MID – Bont, LDU, Butters, Merrett, Welsh, Serong, Green, Miller (Freijah, Bytel, Brown)
    RUC – Grundy, Gawn (Livingstone)
    FWD – Flanders, Heeney, Zorko, Fisher, Jackson, Dowling (Kreuger, Hutchinson)

    6 trades left (No boosts left)/$33k ITB

    Miller is a must go as he’s pretty much done for the year. I’m hesistant to put out Gawn, because I still want to have a full premo side by the end of the year and if he’s only out for 1-2 weeks, I don’t think it’s worth it. I have either Jackson or Kreuger I can switch with Livingstone and bench Gawn for one of them until comes back.
    Obviously the other issue is Heeney being suspended (I still have Hutchinson to cover for him, he should be still in this week). But I’m mainly sweating on whether Fisher comes back this week. Because if he doesn’t, I’m going to be very lost on what I should do.

    At this point I’m thinking of doing either:

    1 – Miller and Aleer out for Blight and Rozee. That give’s me about $200k ITB
    And then I’ll wait until Dowling and Schoenmaker peaks, then downgrade Schoenmaker and upgrade Dowling to my final premo (Maybe Caldwell)

    2 – Miller and Aleer out for Blight and Caldwell. Gives me about $150k ITB, but I get Caldwell while his BE and price are still relatively cheaper. Then when I eventually upgrade to the final premo, I’ll switch Caldwell into the forward line and get a good mid premo, which I may have to do a extra downgrade trade to achieve that depending on how much money Dowling makes for me.

    Are any of these options okay, or is there anything else you guys would suggest?

      You’re guaranteed top 4
      You’ve got coverage for Gawn in Jackson then move Heeney (mids) and play either Frejiah or Dowling to cover Heeney in the forward line
      Just hope Fisher is back ???
      You’re in a strong position with six trades and more $$$$ if you do Miller to McKercher

    3 trades remaining with a full side..

    Considering Gawn > TDK to really push for overall rank, already nearly 25% of the top 1% have traded out Gawn so if I hold I may lose ground somewhat..

  82. 2 options this week. Not really playing for overall coz I’m struggling to crack the top 10K so just leagues really.

    Option 1 is not trade this week and I have 2 rookies in forward line to cover heeney and moving Jackson to ruck. Means keeping Joe Richard’s who may lose money but have a full 22 playing.

    Option 2 is trade Richard’s and Garcia for a 102K DPP non player and a Walsh or Cripps which means I have only 21 playing this week.

    1. And is it worth going with the first option if its a lot more risky in terms of affordability? Option 2 is a guarantee I can afford it.

    TU: Caldwell and Jackson, $56k left
    TD: Caldwell and Moore, $400 left

    Touk Touk has to go.

    TU – Dawson – high ceiling but has been average the last few weeks
    TD – Nic Martin – like the DPP

    Comment – anyone else?

    1. I am highly unlikely to trade this week unless both Heeney and Fisher are out.
      I still think Heeney will cop a fine rather than a suspension.
      However, if I was I would be closely looking at SDK.
      You would need to swing some DPP magic but as he has been playing ruck he has been scoring pretty well.

  94. Best ruck to trade in for Gawn?
    Already have English.

    I am liking the look of either TDK/ Nankervis as they have they seem to have the best runs home out of all viable options.

    Is pitonett any danger of coming back into the side at all this season blues fans?
    Surely that experiment is up and Carlton are at their best with TDK as the sole ruck?!

  95. Full Premo with 6 trades left – but having an absolute trash season and need a perfect run home to make finals, so thinking of rolling the dice and can’t afford cash on the bench

    In: English, Cheap DPP Rook, Neale
    Out: Touk, Gawn, Day

    Leaves 3 trades left – can hold Heeney for a week – no other injured players

    TU: GO FOR IT
    TD: NOPE

  107. Ranked 6000’ish but playing for leagues now. 5 trades left, $88K in bank. Traded Jackson out 2 weeks ago but thinking about bringing him back. team as follows and still needs one upgrade:

    B – Naicos, Ryan, Houson, Yeo, Whitfield, Crisp (Schoenmaker, Hore)
    M – Bont, Walsh, Serong, Butters, Dunkley, Gulden, Merrett, Green (Graham, Dowling, Mannagh)
    R – Gawn, Grundy (Livingstone)
    F – Flanders, Moore, Zorko, Heeney, Curnow, Freijah (Richards, W Dawson)

    T/U – Gawn to English. No ruck cover but cash to get my final upgrade via a couple of fat cows next week leaving me with 2 trades for injuries and bench cover on all lines except ruck.

    T/D – Freijah and Richards to Jackson and Humphries means my team is rounded out but I am carrying Gawn’s on the bench and am forced to play Mannagh/Dowling at F6 until he is back. Leaves me 3 trades and $50K.

    Comment – other.

  111. TU: McGovern + $590k mid (e.g., Treloar, Walsh, LDU, Gulden, Anderson)

    I’m not overly confident McGovern plays next week, hence why I’m considering trading him to Sinclair this week.

  117. Fisher still out has completely screwed plans up, so I now can’t bring either Humphries or Blight

    TU: Miller and Fisher > McKercher and Caldwell, covering Gawn with either Jackson or Kreuger, swapping Livingstone into the forward bench. (If I brought in Rozee instead of McKercher, I couldn’t afford Caldwell sadly. Best I could so was Comber)

    TD: Miller and Gawn > Rozee and English (Kreuger and Hutchinson to cover Heeney and Fisher this week)

    I don’t really want to get rid of Gawn either, but these are the best options so far

    1. At the discretion of his coach.

      Fisher appears over his injury but North stated they didn’t want to make too many changes to a winning team.

      Hopefully he returns next week but not being selected this week is troubling.

    1. I voted down – as at least you know that Rowell is in Gold Coasts best 22 each week

      After not getting picked this week, and having been starting sub once before this year, I not sure where Fisher’s job security is at North Melbourne ?

      Understand that Clarko wanted to reward the players than won for him last week, but I still expected Fisher to come in for someone

      Will Phillips must aslso be considered ulucky to be dropped – after doing some outstanding tagging roles in recent weeks

      Are North finally getting some solid depth

    Team
    Def: Sheezell, Daicos, Whitfield, Dale, NWM, Martin ( Reid, Humphries)

    Doing Gawn to English at moment!!

    Thinking that Fisher (when returns would be a good loop with other forwards like Jackson/Moore etc – with this in mind …

    T/U Gawn and Touk out English and Merrett in ( hold Fisher future forward loop and save trade/boost) or
    T/D Gawn + Touk + Fisher out English + Dunkley + McKercher in (use extra trade/boost, lose fwd loop for midfield loop)?

    Any extra advice? Thanks

  126. Initial plan was to trade Sexton to McKercher. Since the teams dropped, would Fisher be a better option to trade out. Will leave 4 trades to go.

    DEF: Sheezel, Daicos, Ryan, Houston, NWM, Fisher (Humphries, L.Evans)
    MID: Bont, LDU, Gulden, Butters, Walsh, Serong, Green, Rozee (Dowling, Mannagh, K.Brown)

    $46,900 ITB, 5 trades left, 1 boost left.

    Do I just trade Rankine to Caldwell and use Dowling and Mannagh as cover for Freijah since I can’t upgrade him to anyone significant ($368,400 or below) and use the other as cover for Heeney. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

  130. Not sure who should be the priorities to out this week with the likes of Gawn, Miller and Fisher! Any help would be appreciated! I am playing for leagues, and am sitting 2nd at the moment down to 5th, but am playing 15th so can potentially sit tight this week and get through without doing much.

    D: Sheezel, Daicos, Ryan, Houston, Sexton, Schoenmaker (Evans, Reid)
    M: Bont, Dunkley, Butters, Merrett, Walsh, Serong, Green, Miller (Clark, HGarcia, Dowling)
    R: Grundy, Gawn (Livingstone)
    F: Falnders, Heeney, Zorko, Moore, Fisher, Jackson (Freijah, Dawson)
    ITB: 215k
    Trades: 7

    I was originally thinking of having Jackson cover Gawn and putting Freijah on field, have Dowling cover Heeney, and potentially trading Miller to a mid. With Fisher out now too, also considering Fisher to Caldwell. I was also wanting to get one of Humphries or Blight in (missed Mannagh last week).

    Is using my last boost to go:
    Out: Miller, Fisher and Clark
    In: Neale (any mid), Caldwell and Humphries

    TU: Use the trades and last boost
    TD: Sit tight for the week and reassess next week

  132. Would love some thoughts please:

    Would you trade out Draper (seems to be best 22 and great cover on DEF) if it means being able to swap W Dawson into DEF and off the FWD line (no cover as also have Livingstone as a DPP cover to rucks). DEF line also has Schoenmaker – so how safe is it that he remains in for the year?
    This allows me to bring in Caldwell with the other trade Clark out to Humphries?

    My other option is to leave Draper and Dawson as they are and trade either Freijah or Reville … and I still have Sexton on the FWD line

    Just unsure if it is a play to lose Draper due to his good coverage as a backup. It does allow moving Dawson though who has stunk up my bench forever.

    Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
