Gawn and Warn the most balanced. Good fixtures for Warner even though he’s been cringe. Max obvs top shelf. Part of me does want to spice it up though.
Started Nank this year and ruined my life. Be hilarious to circle back and finish w him. More so bc it allows for Macrae.
RoMo and Humph will be high variance but idm. Good ceilings. Miller out will help Humph.
Grundy & 300ker honestly not insane w 23rd dropping out. In past years there’s always a mercurial but recently injured FWD bopping around but legit no one atm.
I’ll throw a left field option. I have TDK with 4 trades left but don’t think I can keep going with him. Considering Jordan Sweet with Visentini gone for the year.
If you went for him you pick any fwd you want, or even better any mid you want if you have a DPP in mids to move. If you don’t have the DPP option it’s less attractive but an option nonetheless!
Any suggestions with the 300ker idea?
I am playing around with an option that allows me to do the same and grab Grundy, just not sure on who the other bloke is at this stage
B. King, Bedford, Fogarty, J. Cripps. I’ve been digging into their fixtures but they’re all bang average 60s this year lol.
Appeal is Grundy’s fixture and utility as a VC/C. Captaincy the biggest lever you can pull week to week with most teams full premo and, in chunks, similar.
R19: Grundy v Xerri-less Roos
R20: Grundy v shaky, low TOG Briggs
R21: Grundy v Goldy/Blakiston
R22: Probs pass v Lions
R23: Grundy v Cats, handles Blics tbh
R24: Eagles
4/6 are absolute field day match ups. Like, he can cook them for 150s.
Currently in the top 200 and have the opportunity to play aggressive this week.
Can’t afford to get Xerri upto anyone decent without using 2 trades as I have no money.
Dcam is priced less but pies have already hinted he will be rested in the run home at some point.
However, in 2 trades I can get Xerri upto Grundy (who has an amazing run home and could easily end up R1), but will need to downgrade McCarthy in the process who is currently my main bench cover (24th). Leaves me with 1 trade
Is this worth doing so considering my rank?
TU: Go for it and get Grundy
TD: Hold off and reassess
So are you saying you have 2 trades left in total? I’m saying it depends how many trades in total you have left. If you have a few and can afford to burn 2, I’d do it. If less then 5, I wouldn’t and just do a single trade to someone like Meek and save the money for other options. Also depends if you have a full premo team yet as well

R19: Crows – bad
R20: Lions – eh if dbl ruck
R21: Tiges – good
R22: Blues – eh if dbl ruck
R23: GWS – great
R24: Port – great
Witts narrow scoring stream but obviously very stable. Traditional HTA ruck. Fixture opens up but not great. Crashes into a lot of dud double ruck combos who aren’t necessarily themselves great but means he’ll always have a fresh opp, which sucks.
MEEK fixture:
R19: Port – great
R20: Blues – eh if dbl ruck
R21: Crows – bad
R22: Pies – okay
R23: Dees – horrific
R24: Lions – eh if dbl ruck
Witts on fixture for mine. Although Meek will pop this week.
Idk wtf happened v Crows – and I was there lol. Lower CBAs with Garcia in the mix but doesn’t explain that Phantom of the Opera performance. I honestly can’t tell you.
Was otherwise stable, although he does get bloody hosed by CD and thus has no ceiling.
Humph is speculative but has upside, ceiling and should benefit w Miller out. Problem is floor and fixture.
Personally, I’d put the points on the table asap and go for it. It’s essentially 6x games of Humph v 5x games of Kennedy in your case.
G’luck either way, Baggers. Hope the team finishes strong!
I have 21 premiums inclduing xerri, rozee, roberts bolton, and my non premo are jack martin and tom mccarthy.
1 trade.
200K ITB
TU: make the last trade (martin to rankine or petracca)
TD: hold for another week and wait to trade out jack martin
Best mid or defender rookie to grab as bench cover for the remainder of the season sub 270k?
I am downgrading JHF to a rookie to free up funds for Xerri > Grundy. Will run McCarthy in my flex as my 23rd.
They are purely just going to be for bench cover, is it worth looking at someone like Mcintosh from Richmond? Has some of the best JS and can throw in the odd 70-80?
Or do I grab someone like a Liddy from port now with the injury news to JHF?
Rowston? Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
1 trade left, have Xerri and JHF with only 10k banked, do you:
T/u – Trade Xerri to 583k ruck. Then with dpp can play McCarthy as 23rd. (JHF dead on bench)
T/d – JHF to a grim 448k player, hold Xerri till he comes back and have to play with 22 for 3 weeks.
Might sound obvious but think the 583k ruck + 23rd option could outscore a sketchy 448k + no flex option for the last 6 rounds. (But do get Xerri back for the last 3)
Nic Martin to
TU: Lachie Neale
TD: Ed Richards
Xerri to Grundy
Maka
Accidentally posted my name, apologies.
My question was going to be the following;
Best replacement for Xerri if you already have Gawn and no money in the bank?
Cheers!
English? Also Marshall has a super nice draw even with Heath in the side. Likely wont play Xerri so outside if Gawn again all pretty positive matchups
Briggs
Along with English as Archie has mentioned, Darcy Cameron would be a good shout too.
I’ll get a poll going soon.
I like Grundy if no expense is spared. Gets Roos no Xerri, Giants, Dons and eventually Eagles to finish.
Grundy over Gawn, yeah. Has more to play for. Max, don’t get me wrong, also bussing. Has Eagles soon.
RoMo some nice hits.
DCam defs no w fixture.
AA ruck interesting. Grundy will pull ahead if he keeps this up. Just been insane.
Martin & Xerri out. Zero Trade Club. Thanks for that, fellas.
$1043.4 for a RUC and a FWD.
Current lines are:
RUC: Jackson & *Xerri*
FWD: Smith, Rankine, Racca, *Martin*, Darcy & JHF
Options?
Gawn & Warner? Nank & Macrae? RoMo & Humph? Grundy & 300ker lol?
Gawn and Warn the most balanced. Good fixtures for Warner even though he’s been cringe. Max obvs top shelf. Part of me does want to spice it up though.

Probably doesn’t matter, Maka.
They’re almost certain to drop out as the 23rd.

Who to trade out?
TU- Ryley Sanders
TD- Matt Kennedy
Anyone have an update on severity of Rozee injury?
Who is the priority trade out?
TU TDK
TD Rozee
Currently in the top 200 and have the opportunity to play aggressive this week.

Depends how many trades left you have in total. If scraping the barrel for trades, I wouldn’t go Grundy as injuries and suspensions can happen
If I want to upgrade Xerri to anyone decent then I will be forced to use 2 trades regardless as stated, no money in the bank.
I don’t love the options priced below X apart from Dcam who is going to get a rest.
Grundy could genuinely keep his current form up on the run home and be worth 2 players as he will be my vc/c almost every week.
Other option is hold X and have his score drop out? Decisions, decisions!
So are you saying you have 2 trades left in total? I’m saying it depends how many trades in total you have left. If you have a few and can afford to burn 2, I’d do it. If less then 5, I wouldn’t and just do a single trade to someone like Meek and save the money for other options. Also depends if you have a full premo team yet as well
Will be left with 1 trade if I make the 2 to grab Grundy, guess that’s what I’m weighing up, albeit full premo.
Almost thinking holding X might be a better option that going for Meek, don’t love his run home. Will need to continue to look at my options..
If your flex is a third ruckman like mine is, you could move him to flex and get any player you want as well just about

Assuming Rozee is 4+ thinking below trade, otherwise ill hold and cover with Tmac. Laves me with 2 trades left
Tu: Rozee, Xerri to Gawn, Jackson
Td: Rozee, Xerri to Grundy, JHF
JHF reports of broken bone in foot. Could be out for rest of season.
Xerri replacements I can afford:
TU Witts
TD Meek
Thanks SuperCoaches!
WITTS fixture:
R19: Crows – bad
R20: Lions – eh if dbl ruck
R21: Tiges – good
R22: Blues – eh if dbl ruck
R23: GWS – great
R24: Port – great
Witts narrow scoring stream but obviously very stable. Traditional HTA ruck. Fixture opens up but not great. Crashes into a lot of dud double ruck combos who aren’t necessarily themselves great but means he’ll always have a fresh opp, which sucks.

R22: Pies – okay

Witts on fixture for mine. Although Meek will pop this week.
Hi all, below is the current team before any trades. Would love any thoughts 🙂
9 trades left, $212k ITB. Playing for leagues. Need to keep winning.
NAS Clark Kerch Dale Sheezel Sinc (Clarke Hayes)
Butters Naicos Bont Green Dawson Brayshaw Rozee Daniel (Johsnon Hastie Campo)
Xerri TDK (West)
Baz Macrae Rankine Tracc Warner JHF (May Gray)
McCarthy
Thinking Xerri TDK > Gawn English
TU: Yes great trades
TD: No abad Trades, hold TDK and maybe sell Rozee instead
Can I borrow some of your trades I’ll pay up to 200 for each
JHF also out
Xerri > Gawn
Clarke > Bont
McCarthy at D6
Bolton at FLEX
3 trades left
$2.2K ITB
Going for points only.
TU: Whitfield
TD: Ed Richards
Use McCarthy as #23 or trade up?
X to Gawn with 1 trade left (assuming he gets 3 weeks)
Any chance Xerri gets off? Or gets just a week?
JHF out for the season
Delete team lol
JHF on the never again list, dude is an injury-prone inconsistent curse
who to go?
TU Bowey
TD Mills
Better combo replacement for Xerri & JHF:
TU: Grundy & McCarthy (Will bring McCarthy on field from my 24th to my 23rd)
TD: Briggs & Ed Richards
TU: Marshall & Mills
I need a mid or a forward to trade in for JHF
No idea who to go for 454 to spend.
Maybe Humph w Miller out? Don’t mind that at all.
I should also add that this is my last trade so whoever I’m bringing in, I’m stuck with
Can you wait a week for Kennedy to drop?
Is JHF going to drop? If not waiting for Kennedy might be the play
Oh he’s gonna drop alright.
Would you go Kennedy – wait a week
Cripps now or
Humph now
I’ll have to keep whoever I pick as I am out of trades lol
A week ago, I’d have said Kennedy easily.
Idk wtf happened v Crows – and I was there lol. Lower CBAs with Garcia in the mix but doesn’t explain that Phantom of the Opera performance. I honestly can’t tell you.
Was otherwise stable, although he does get bloody hosed by CD and thus has no ceiling.
Humph is speculative but has upside, ceiling and should benefit w Miller out. Problem is floor and fixture.

G’luck either way, Baggers. Hope the team finishes strong!
Is this the correct trade out order in terms of priority? Still have 9 trades. Playing for leagues
JHF, Xerri, Rozee, TDK
TU Yes correct order
TD No not right
Should I trade Miller to:
TU: Dawson
TD: Green
Comment: Richards
Which defender for $565k or less?
TU Ash
TD Zorko
TU: Anderson
TD: Ed Richards + $57k
Best rookie to bring in this week as bench cover under 250k?
Thinking of downgrading JHF and just using McCarthy as my 23rd.
Allows me to get Xerri to Grundy.
4 trades left
TU: Xerri to Gawn using 1 trade
TD: Xerri to Grundy using 2 trades
Feel like going against the norm and getting Grundy in, as everyone is jumping on Gawn. I’m currently ranked inside top 8k.
Grundy also has a dream run home and Swans playing for the slight chance of finals.
I have 21 premiums inclduing xerri, rozee, roberts bolton, and my non premo are jack martin and tom mccarthy.
1 trade.
200K ITB
TU: make the last trade (martin to rankine or petracca)
TD: hold for another week and wait to trade out jack martin
TU: JHF & Xerri to Gawn and Grundy.
Still leaves McCarthy on field and Jack Martin as flex.
TD: JHF, Xerri, Martin to Gawn, Darcy and Ed Richards.
McCarthy to Flex.
Won’t have any money ITB after either trade
Still want to upgrade Mills down back somehow.
Thanks
Last chance this week Xerri / Rozee to Meek and JDaicos. What your thoughts
Nick Martin to:
TU – Warner
TD – Kozy Pickett
Comment: Kennedy
Cheers
JHF injury throws my plans. Got some flexibility though, who averages more?
TU Brayshaw
TD Whitfield
In a bit of predicament..
3 trades left, no money in bank.
Fully upgraded but need to move Xerri & JHF.
Which option is better?
TU: Meek, Warner (or Parker)
TD: Grundy, C.Harvey
Should say this will mean I’ll be down a premo, Harvey replacing JHF
Bit of an update.
2 trades left and now JHF joins, Martin and Xerri.
Obviously keeping Xerri and trading the other two given Xerri atleast comes back.
Like Simon above, I’m genuinely amenable to Grundy and frickin’ Harvey! I could bum w 2x options in the 400s for JHF and Martin but it’s all so bleak.
Grundy insane form and insane fixture. Harvey can be looped w May but they’re dropping out as 23rd in all reality.
Then got McCarthy covering DEF and taking early cover loops w Zorko/Whitfield. Hopefully Liddy can stay alive and be MID cover.
Ranked 3.6k, so may as well go for it. Either gonna win by 10 or lose by 40, as they say.
Like I’ve been droning on about for the last fortnight, captaincy is really the biggest lever you can pull week to week. Grundy to cook, GD to hope!
Xerri to (holding TDK, already have Gawn):
TU: Noah Anderson
TD: English
TU: Dawson
TD: Trade TDK too – will cost an extra trade (none of these 3, instead likely G.Hewett/E.Richards/Dunkley/Libba)

Or do I grab someone like a Liddy from port now with the injury news to JHF?
Rowston? Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Alix Tauru gives me the ability to cover an injury on multiple lines now that I think of it, so leaning towards him.
1 trade left, have Xerri and JHF with only 10k banked, do you:
T/u – Trade Xerri to 583k ruck. Then with dpp can play McCarthy as 23rd. (JHF dead on bench)
T/d – JHF to a grim 448k player, hold Xerri till he comes back and have to play with 22 for 3 weeks.
