    1. Same dilemma- so will be keeping a close eye. Both nearly same across season- and 3/5 round averages.
      Might not make any diff? I’m hoping maybe Crisp has more upside- certainly looked better today!

  1. 4 trades left, trading in Stewart.

    Who is more worthy of keeping as cover
    TU: Short (d7/m9 cover, can DPP with burgoyne)
    TD: Butters (M9/f7 cover, can DPP with Culley)

  2. Need to trade out Marshall, Rowell, Cameron, Houston and maybe Dunkley!

    Don’t suppose I can boost 5 trades this week

    1. Your only other real options if you want an active player are Sonsie ($117K mid), Johnson ($124K fwd) or you can go early on Hollands ($124K mid/fwd).

  3. 2 trades left, ranked just outside 2000.
    Do I use one to trade out Short or Dunkley.

    TU: Yes
    TD: Save them

  4. Ok last boost
    Leaves me with 2 trades for the finals
    I’m able to just go short to Stewart or should I go for all 3

    Short to Stewart
    McComb to Culley

    Obrien or Witts to Gawn

  5. Just brought Aaron Hall in, and with 2 trades left, me thinks I can’t luxury trade Stewie in without late-season carnage.

    1. Depends who you’re getting off field too. If Stewart gets a Short or Crisp off field, that’s much more helpful than Steele getting Cripps for example off.

      1. Both Steele or Stewart will turn Crisp and Short into sharing a bench spot and D6. They will be looped each game through DPP. I am more after who will be the best scorer for the finals.

        Steele T/U
        Stewart T/D

  6. 4 trades left.
    Ridley, Short, Crisp, Wines, Titch are in my side.

    Thinking Ridley – Stewart and Wines – Walsh this week. Gawn is also an interesting prospect, switch English into FWD and then Bont into the MIDs.

    What order would you be looking to cull. Do have 200k in the bank ready for the final, of final upgrades.

  7. Short to who?

    (Already have Sinclair, Sicily, Stewart, Hewett, Crisp)

  8. For F6 and Ruck cover. Didnt get to see either player this week so hoping those that saw them could help
    T/U: Marshall (Now solo ruck but his score against a makeshift WCE lineup is a bit underwhelming)
    T/D: Tingle (Is his score only that high because it was a close game as he has looked pretty foggy since his return in the other games, or was he back to normal again?)

    8

    1. Rowan was coming off a week of being sick and then gave away 5 frees which is just a straight 20 point loss. I’m sure he’ll score tons from here when he’s actually feeling 100%. I’m voting Marshall but I am a saints fan and have him while not having English so that could be colouring it and honestly think both are great selections but Marshall being cheaper wins the tiebreaker for mine

  9. 3 trades left.

    TD: burn 1 trade and go Rich to Hall

    tu- steven may to any defender (already have sinclair sicily dawson stewart hewett)

    td- dunkley to b smith or english

    12
  13. Tempted to go against logic and trade Daicos to Stewart this week (rather than Short or Crisp). 6 trades left. This would also give me the cash to grab Dawson and Oliver next week.
    TU: Do it, he’ll struggle against Port
    TD: Silly trade, he’ll go bang

  14. 4 trades left:

    Locked in D.Cameron -> Gawn

    1. Have you thought of Lloyd to Stewart & leave Daicos alone for a week to save a trade and reassess after this weeks games?

  15. Playing for overall (rank 28 atm), I’ll limit myself to one trade this week

    Tu: Hewett -> Stewart (already sounds good)

    Td: Dunkley -> one of English/Himmelberg/Libba

    If I’m trading Dunkley, any thoughts on which one of the three I should get?

    Cheers!

      1. Great call Wokkas! Not many will have in their side compared to the other names I’ve put up there. Honestly, think my best tactic would be to pull a name out of a hat for those forwards as all of them have the potential for a big score on any given week. Ideally I’d like to wait until team sheets for any of the Dog mids pending Treloar being out injured. I’ve noticed Dunks has been playing forward a lot the last couple of weeks and will be interesting to see whether he could get a role change this week.

        Himmelberg definitely appears to be flavour of the month, but I’m skeptical lol

        1

        0
        1. If Hewitt plays then go Dunks to Himmel id say – plays the Hall role so easy points every week and not highly owned (%8) at all.

          How many trades left tho?

          0

          0
          1. Yep great thinking! Sounds like Hewett is still a week away too so he’s looking more likely to go. I’ve warmed up to the idea of Himmelberg and actually thinking I could trade either Dunks or Hewett for him as I have Mccartin and Bazzo at either ends of the ground for DPP coverage and having HH would make me pretty versatile. Trading out Hewett this week allows me to DPP trade Dunkley to Stewart at some point too.

  16. 3 trades left

    $1200 short on Short to Stewart, so to fund that also considering Darcy Cameron to Rowan Marshall (Assuming that Grundy will be back this week). Will leave $35.4K ITB.

    TU; Do it
    TD; Do something else

  20. Ok new strategy if it pans out. Might try and loop Daicos and Short and bring in Stewart for Duncan via DPP (I am still full premo in fwds with English there). I can do that with one trade however to get them to loop I am going to have to bring in Culley so am going to have to use two trades anyway. I would of traded Short to Stewart in one trade but am $1200 um Short so to speak (pardon the pun) so two trades needed there as well.
    Stewart for:
    TU: Duncan
    TD: Short

  23. Is it better to luxury sideways short/cripps/crisp types or utilise rookie cash for a high ceiling loophole ie underpriced key forward ?

  24. Should i use my last trade for if Hewett is still injured?

    TU: Hold if you have rookie to cover

    TD: Trade if its longer

    1. Depends what your situation is regarding match ups, rank too! If it looks like your opponents will have him too then likely go for the hold

  25. One trade left still have Cameron but Hewett is injured so don’t know if i should hold and use it on him instead on Cameron.

    TU: Trade him out and get Gawn in

    Td: Hold wait for the news if Hewett out longer then asess later

  26. 3 trades left, $284k itb. Playing for league.

    Been planning for Stewart for a couple weeks. Original plan is to trade Wehr to Stewart and use short as D7/M9.

    However, not having Bont in my side is killing my side. Worried he will tear a part the final 2 rounds against GWS and Hawks.

    TU: 1 trade, Wehr to Stewart, ~$28k itb

    TD: 1 trade, short to Stewart, $192k itb. Allows for a big luxury trade/s round 22/23

    Comment: 2 trades, short /dunks to Stewart /Bont. This leaves me little cover with Wehr, Bourgyne and Rioli as active players on my bench.

  27. Short and Crisp to Stewart and Steele….oh that’s right I don’t have any trades left…….disregard lol.

  28. And who to bring in?? Finished top 4 and $100k saved would help next week if needed but would like to get win this week and get week off – also last midfield spot so will be one or other for rest of finals!
    T/U Steele
    T/D Laird

  29. Ok – 3 trades left (used 1 to get Culley this week, 1 left this week & no boosts).
    Have got Daicos & Crisp down back to upgrade maybe.

    Also Luke Jackson in the forwards & 178k in the bank. Only league & finished 7th so need to make some moves.

    Choice to make:
    T/U: Daicos or Crisp to Stewart
    T/D: Jackson to Steele or someone cheaper

    Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

  30. I have one trade left and 286 k in bank

    TU out wehr, in Steele via dpp

    TD out Dixon (wce), in Parker or Bailey Smith

  31. If no further carnage this round, I will be looking to replace Jackson as my F6.
    I want a F/R to keep the loop open with English as my R2. I have 4 trades remaining.

    TU: Goldy
    TD: Marshall

    1. Goldstein final 4 opponents: Essendon, Sydney, Crows, Suns

      RoMo final 4 opponents: Hawthorn, Cats, Lions, Sydney

      Neither with ideal runs. I’d honestly consider different FWDs and sacrifice that DPP swing.

      1

      0
      1. Don’t rucks do ok against the hawks and cats though? Dylan Moore could be ok as an alternative but a deadly pod could be Papley who’s been getting some midfield rotations over the last month and his 3 and 5 round averages are awesome

        3

        1
        1. Hawks, yes. Cats, no.

          1-2 with Stanley and Blicavs, with Stanley really running him opponents up the ground silly and then tries to limit them in general play. Now, Stanley is out but it isn’t just the opposition ruckman but also the engine room behind them. The Cats are a top tier clearance and stoppage side, so HTA will be thin.

          RoMo could still be a good pick, #1 ruck scoring stream is always golden. I’d just be wary of that draw and consider other options in conjunction with him.

          Also love how you also come on at night to go to bat for your Saints lol!

          2

          0
          1. Yeah fair, definitely expecting us to get killed by the cats but hoping Rowan does a job and scores ok.

            Always happy to go to bat for my saints and like when there’s a couple that are SuperCoach relevant but my Dylan Moore love is overcoming my intense dislike of the hawks

  32. Tough week ahead but have a double chance in league. 4 trades and 1 booster left.
    A straight swap of Daicos to Stewart (both the same price) is real tempting as I think Daics may taper off a bit from here…

    But I have Rich and Hewett and I can do a direct swap to Stewart and Hall which will leave me with zero in the bank and a big high risk /high reward play on Hall.

    However, I have studied the teams I have to beat in my main league and a very reasonably priced Max Gawn is the POD I need for victory as none of the teams I have to beat have him..

    TU: Rich and Hewett to Stewart and Hall – 2 trades left
    TD: Hewett, Preuss, Wehr to Gawn, Sinclair and Culley. Keep Rich for his concussion week….
    Comment: Do nothing, probably lose league this week, almost certainly win the week after and go hard on the trades for prelim and GF week with Hewett and Rich back up and running..

    3
    1. Gidday D1, TU for me
      In a very similar position. Will be going all out for a win so will be bringing in Stewart & Premo yet to be decided on. My advice is make your team as strong as possible as you dont know what the other guys are going to do . Good luck.

  33. Current defence: sinclair, daicos, hewett, doch, short, crisp (parnell, dambrosio)
    3 trades left lots of cash, have m9/f7 premo cover.

    TU: 1 trade parnell to stewart (gives me d7 cover [and hewett is currently out], 2 trades and 30k itb)

    TD: trade short and crisp/hewett to stewart and sicily (might have to be hewett over crisp now since hes our for rd 20) (leave me with 1 trade and cash, can bring in zorko as d7 cover and be left without trades)

    1. 3 trades left 160k itb

      My defence is currently:
      Sinclair, Sicily, Docherty, Hewett, Short, Crisp (D’Ambrosio, K. Dawson)

      TU Hewett to Stewart & Curtis to Culley (315k itb seems like a waste of $ with only 1 trade left)
      TD Hold Hewett, D’Ambrosio to Zorko (use as D7 loop with Short/Crisp) & Curtis to Culley (175k itb for final upgrade)

      Comment any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated thankyou 🙂

      1. Alternatively I could bring in May over Zorko as a safer D7 option but that only leaves me with 90k for my last upgrade.

        TU Zorko higher risk & ceiling
        TD May safer option

        1

        3
  34. Ok am fairly sure this will get down graded but quite tempting to go to 0 trades with…

    TU – Mills (moved out of centre bounces and not getting as many points) to Steele, Hewett to Stewart
    TD – Hold Trades for Later in Finals, including a single trade of Wehr to Zorko next week to be D7

    A win this week in my two cashies would give me a week off for context, and I am slightly behind in one on projected (and relying on Luke Ryan to get another 100)

  35. Best defender under $492k?

    I already have Short & Crisp. Some defenders under that price point: Hayden Young, Steven May, Scott Pendlebury, Mark Blicavs.

    I’m actually leaning towards Hayden Young at the moment. What are people’s thoughts on him?

    3

    0
    1. Argh. 492k. Just priced out of Atkins, Barrass and Ryan, Slats.

      Hmm. Yeah, I don’t mind the Young pick at all. Just needs the game to be really tight and defensive (eg. last week) to rack it up and ton. Still has the floor of a 2nd/3rd year player.

      May, who I’ve got, probably the safer option. Young if you want to have some fun.

      3

      0
      1. I already have Ryan, but just short of Atkins, Barrass or even Hall.

        This is with me going Rich & Hewett to Stewart and defender under $492k.

        I feel like May is the safer option, with a higher floor considering his share of kick outs. Young has a higher ceiling in a defensive game, racking up possessions and marks. It’ll be a tough call!

        1

        0
        1. Yeah, that’s a tricky spot.

          Go with your gut. Both can be very serviceable.

          May consistent, yes, but will be fun to have Ryan AND Young though…

          Good luck, Slats!

  40. I have trades to burn and wondering what would you guys would choose (assuming Brodie is playing). I’m expecting Marshall to do well and Oliver to struggle a bit this week. But Heeney remains a mystery on whether he’ll score 60 or 130

    TU: Heeney to Marshall
    TD: Boak to Oliver

    15
      1. 4 trades left after Laird/Steele – 3 if also do Hewitt to Dawson . 100k banked could get in Laird for Cripps or any other upgrade following weeks (ie short/crisp/ Dunkley etc) with only one trade- already at full premium and finished top 4 in league so have double chance

        0

        0
        1. Personally I brought in Laird for Cripps last week with my last trade and feel great about it so wouldn’t suggest waiting on him but doesn’t sound like you could use the cash so I’ve voted Steele but follow your gut. Sounds like you’ll be able to get both in though which is a great spot to be in. Hewett to Dawson or Stewart would be great right now too so do it if you can

          0

          0
  41. So Hewett out another week i may have cover but don’t know with Parnell so weighing in the options and only have 1 trade left.

    TU: Cop the donut and bench Hewett save the trade

    TD: Trade Hewett out and get in someone like Dale, Dawson, Himmelberg

  43. 3 trades left, in a dogfight elimination battle.
    Would love to hold Hewitt but daren’t in case he misses more so going to go all in….
    Hewitt/Jackson/MacDonald -> Stewart/Gawn/Holland (or other rookie)
    TU: Do it, go down fighting
    TD: Silly – work out a way of using 2 trades and save one

    15

    1. Gawn has a tough run home. Comes up against big Darcy + maybe Meek this week.

      You could save 110k and go for preuss? Massive POD as lots of coaches will refuse to look at him, comes up against an underdone hickey. Has averaged 106 for the year minus his injury affected game. Risky but he has been more than solid in every game he has played this year.

      0

  44. Reconfiguring my defence a bit this week. Have 4 trades left. Hewett is definitely going out and Stewart is definitely coming in. For another trade:

    TU: Trade Short to Dawson. Keep Wehr as D7
    TD: Trade Wehr to Saad. Keep Short as D7 (don’t have any DPP to swing him to the Mids if need be)

  45. In some trouble down back and tight for trades as I am sure most people are.
    I have 3 spots to fill; 2 replacements needed for Rich and Hewett, and ideally a premo to replace culley at f6.

    Playing for league and want to put the best team on the park this week but need some help.
    I have 214k in the bank and could straight swap Hewett and Rich for Dawson and Stewart. But be left with only about 360k and 1 trade to fix my f6.

    Or take a punt on 2 fallen premos down back (around 450k and less) and use my 3rd trade to bring in either a premo mid, or Gawn.

    Seriously contemplating Zorko as a cheap fix down back with his ceiling too.

    If anyone has any thoughts it would be greatly appreciated.

    T/U Rich< Stewart
    Hewett < Dawson with 360k left for f6

    or

    T/D Hewett < May or Zorko
    Rosas < Gawn. def bench to cover Rich this week.

    1. Who else is already in your backline as a premo?
      Rich & Hewett>> Stewart & Crisp gives you $394K in bank
      uptrade Culley in 2 weeks when he has gone up $140k to $242K will give you approx $636k to spend on a forward upgrade.

  46. Need some assistance fellas, got four trades left and finished top four in both of my leagues:

    TU: Hewett to Dale (3 trades left)
    TD: Hamilton to Culley to have enough money for Hewett to Stewart (2 trades left)

    Feel like there’s gonna be injury/covid carnage or players being rested in last couple rounds, so want to conserve trades. Dale super consistent but Stewart much higher ceiling.

  48. Hewett has to go for me. I’m bleeding points and my cash league has a big prize for total points (120 behind 1st).

    550K available, who is my best option:

    TU: Vlaustin
    TD: Dale
    Comment: Saad or anyone else that comes to mind

    This leaves me with 1 trade for the season.

  49. 3 Trades left. $90.7k ITB. Ranked 1100 and looking to improve my overall ranking. Not in any cash leagues.

    Current team is as follows;

    DEF; Sinclair, Sicily, Dawson, Dale, Hewett, Short. (Parnell, D’Ambrosio).
    MID; Oliver, Laird, Bontempelli, Miller, Neale, Macrae, Mills, Daicos. D. Stephens,
    M. Rioli, Owens)
    RUC; Witts, D. Cameron (Teakle)
    FWD; Liberatore, Coniglio, Parker, English, Brodie, Dunkley. (Clarke, Culley).

    Considering what to to with Hewett, Short and Cameron. I’m going to hold Brodie this week and use Culley as cover if necessary. Probably will keep Daicos for the year as a DPP swing.

    TU; Hewett to Stewart, Cameron to R. Marshall. 1 trade left, 101k ITB. Will likely have to hold Short for the rest of the year.

    TD. Hewett to Stewart. 2 trades left, $64.4k ITB, can see how the Cameron situation plays out for 1 more week as well as any injuries that might pop up.

    Comment; anything else I should be considering?

    Thanks in advance everyone !

  50. TU: Paddy -> Stewart
    This option holds Hewitt

    TD: Hewitt -> Stewart instead?
    With the $ saved, I can then turn Jackson into Gawn (swing English forward)?
    Paddy will be D7

    Thanks!

  51. HELP!!!!

    2 trades left and have Houston and Redman (with only possibly D’Ambrosio as cover). I also have Treloar but can use either Rioli or Carmichael as cover.

    T/U – Trade Redman for Stewart/Himmelberg
    T/D – Hold and hope he only misses a week if D’Ambrosio is named.
    Comment – other, including Treloar options.

  53. 5 Trades left and one necessary trade of Hewett to Stewart…maybe two sideway trades of Petracca/Jackson to Steele/Gawn what do the supercoach gurus think…waste of trades or go for it…on top in league but he has nearly the same team as me…

    1. Are you using a boost and making both of those sideways or asking which one? Reckon Petracca is more likely to stay a premo player so I’d be keeping him over Jackson

  55. Must win game.
    Hewett for Stewart
    Treloar for who?
    Forward line is cogs, Parker, English, Brodie, Dunkley.
    Who will give me the most points for rest of season pls comment

    1. Bont is the obvious one if you can afford him.

      Bailey Smith . Taranto . Dylan Moore. other solid options.

        1. Maybe ?

          Campbell is named 1st ruck this week, Marshall forward pocket.. I would back in Baz. Looks like you have English as Ruck cover anyway.

  56. One trade left, two injuries this week.
    Top 4 in finals so not a must win, but obviously still want to win.

    TU: Hewett>himmelberg (S Butler on field)
    TD: Treloar>bailey smith (D’ambrosio on field)

  58. Def- Sinclair, Sicily, Dawson, Daicos, Ridley, Short res Parnell Dambrosio
    Mids- Neale, Oliver, Laird, McRae, Parker, Cripps, Boak, Petracca res Carroll, Cox, Cullen
    Rucks- English, Witts res Treakle
    Fwds- Bont, Dunkley, Libba, Brodie, Cogs, Motlop res Rioli, Hampton
    Hey guys H2H player only got 4 trades left and obviously need to get Motlop off the field frred up 400k last week
    TU- Motlop straight to Steele (via Parker)
    TD- Short to Stewart and Motlop out gives me (via Parker) 536k to spend so Keays, Crouch Titch the options left with this week injuries (comment who or anyone else plz) but only 2 trades left lol sorry for the ling posts lads

    2

    2
    1. Sorry guys forgot to say if I got Motlop straight to Steele thinking Witts to Gawn I know it’s sideways but Witts frustrating me and it’s now or never with my cash to get Max , just comment here if this the one

  59. Want to save the trade, so matchup throughout the weekend will determine whether i pull the trigger on something out of the box ;
    Out Hewett
    IN T Barrass
    Hopefully don’t have to make the trade, but if I look like I’ll lose, don’t mind it as a high ceiling POD

  60. Two trades left. Thinking of Guthrie C to Miller. Should I also trade either Ridley or Short to Saad or keep the trade?

    1

    3
    1. Second trade isn’t really worth it cause Saad has the same chance to give you a 60 or 70 that the other two do seeing as he scored one of each of those in his last 3.

  61. Hey Legends. Who likely scores more this week

    TU: Gawn and Rowell
    TD: Cameron and Steele

    Either option leaves me relying on Burgoyne in defence, though I’d rather hold Houston for next week (already bringing in Stewart for Hewett)
    Comment: You’re being a fool. Forget Steele or Gawn; stick with Cameron and Rowell then trade Burgoyne to Dawson

    1. How many trades have you got? Cameron might have to go when Grundy’s back but he’s definitely worth holding until then

      0

      1. I got rid of Cameron this week- form has really dropped off. Averaged just 80 last 3- high breakeven and just about to lose another $20k cash.
        Brought in Gawn- know he has a hard run- but often that brings the Gawn ‘monster’ out- with monster scores.
        Silly to VC him tonight- to many VC are too late in round and loop holes this week don’t match up.
        T/U – VC Gawn
        T/D – look elsewhere

        1

  62. Also…..
    What are the chances of Ned Long being the Sub this week? Would ruin everything planned….
    TU: Wont play
    TD: Will play

    1. Teams seem to be giving players a go atm- would have been good to have some of these rookies up our sleeves next year! Doh!
      Hawks nothing to lose by playing him- and giving him opportunity- might be a great sub- tackles hard and great defensive pressure… might get a game soon I reckon

  63. G’day lads.
    Currently 3000 OA and pushing for top 1% as well as some league premierships.
    200k ITB and 4 trades left.
    DEF: Sinclair, Sicily, Dawson, Hewett, Short, Crisp, (D’Ambrosio, Burgoyne)
    MID: Oliver, Laird, Miller, Neale, Macrae, Walsh, Brayshaw, Cripps, (Cumberland, Owens, Uwland)
    RUC: English, Witts, (Teakle)
    FWD: Bontempelli, Liberatore, Coniglio, Parker, Brodie, Dunkley, (Curtis, Clarke)

    With Curtis out this week and no extra forward cover, I think he needs to go, Culley being the obvious replacement via Cumberland. This leaves me with about 400k, and the opportunity to go bang bang bang with three of Cripps, Crisp, Short, and Dunkley over the next couple of weeks. Another path is to trade Curtis instead to a mid price player like Heeney, and use the loop, but I much prefer the former.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

  64. Looking for a replacement for Darcy Cameron in Ruck.
    I’ve got Goldstein as a forward, so could also trade for a forward, but currently considering:

    TU: English
    TD: Gawn

    Open to other suggestions in that price range though?

  65. Using last 3 trades to try and win an elimination final.
    Jackson to Gawn and Hewitt to Stewart are locked in.
    But need an extra 93K to make it happen.
    TU: MacDonald -> Holland
    TD: Short -> Zorko

  66. Currently have 4 trades left with no boosts, full premo plus Duncan and have Parnell, Butler and Burgoyne as bench cover also.
    Planning to do Hall – Stewart for one trade but only leaves me with $4k itb. I have Short still who I will prob keep (unless named out tonight).
    So do I trade Culley in to build up the bank or is it a wasted trade with only 3 left.

    TU Hold
    TD Trade Culley in and hope to go Short to Sinclair/Dawson type next week

    1

  67. 3 trades and not much coin

    TU: Go for broke and trade Hewett and Short to Stewart and Zorko (as D7/M9 cover, backing Daicos in for on field)
    TD: Wait a week, same trades likely to be affordable then if needed

  68. Should i use the last trade on Hewett or Cameron?

    TU; Hewett injured don’t know how long

    TD: Cameron score will drop cause of Mason Cox mainly in the ruck

    1. It seems I have three options for this round. What do you guys suggest?
      1. One trade. Hewett to Stewart, Gawn or any forward
      2. Two trades. Hewett/Daicos to Stewart and Gawn/any forward
      3. Two trades. Hewett to Gawn/Stewart/any forward and rookie to Culley

      1. I’d go #2, but hard to say without seeing the rest of your structure. How many trades? If you’ve still got a couple then upgrading Daicos seems like a solid play otherwise he’s pretty serviceable

        0

        0
        1. Four trades left at this stage. I’m currently fielding Daicos in def since Hewett is out. Got a rookie at F6 and Luke Jackson in the ruck

          0

          0
          1. Ah yep. I would think #2 is definitely your best bet. Definitely try to get Jackson to F6 if you can via Daicos and then Gawn is a nice POD for the last couple of rounds. My other thought was getting Hewett to a rookie, keeping Daicos at F6 and still trading in Gawn allowing you to upgrade Jackson in one trade next week (depending on money).

            All the best with this week!

  69. hewett – stewart and Daicos – Merret? This would mean fielding Loyd
    or
    Loyd – Stewart and Hewett – Dawson? This would mean fielding Daicos(Mid)

    Thanks guys

  70. Will Finn McGinness got to Sinclair?
    I’d planned on bringing him in but I might walk straight into a tag. Opposition doesn’t have him.

    T/U Sinclair, Finn will go to Steele
    T/D Another premium defender, Stewart already in my time.

    Thanks all.

    2

    1
  71. 3 trades left
    Going Hewett > Stewart
    Use the second trade to upgrade short or crisp?
    Or
    TD: save the trade
