2287 bont as C
The good – ldu, Marshall, laird
The bad – bruhn, dale
This weeks trades
Dale to Daicos
Bruhn to zieball?
TU – good trades
TD – better options
Copped a sublax early on the same shoulder he missed all of last year with. I was surprised he didn’t go straight off and we were all left with a 19. Battled through it and basically played injured with one arm, even with us bamboozling the Giants. Such a great kid. Role as a winger in a high accu./outside ball generating side good as well.
As shitty as it is, I wouldn’t be surprised if a) that shoulder pops or b) he gets put on ice.
Considering a pre-emptive trade, as much as I like him
Hey,Dane. I’m looking at similar trades in that I want N daicos in at nearly any cost and have the Darcy problem… I also have Day and think I’ll hold him. Darcy is against WC next week and hopefully the last Q this week reminded JL that he is a ruckman not a forward, hence my inclination to hold another week. Sheezel is a must Imho . Isn’t the old golden rule never sideways trade a premo? I would hold Doch and just find another way to get Daicos in..
Yep, (pending selections of course) but at this stage I am going
Doch, Darcy & Chesser to Daicos, English & Long plus $88k
Rules are made to be broken – may be a dumb move but only time will tell.
Similar to above. Going to back a wholesale premo re-work for you, Slats. Lol.
Darcy has to go, yes. Cannot co-exist with Jackson. The fact he was played forward was absolutely galling. Expect them to return to Darcy as #1 but even then Jackson will have a third of the ruck economy.
Tingles and Witts (actually most rucks really) also smoking him.
Assuming you have RoMo, your options are:
– Tingles: R1 in full flight, ball out
– Witts: for consistency, second to only Tingles
– Cameron: value option, gives you 100k to apportion to make up the difference between him and Tingles/Witts
I am going Darcy > Cameron (+100k) and using money to fund Chesser > McKenna and Greene > Sheezel.
Pending teams, now my problems are Flanders and Ratagoulea, maybe Callaghan but the first two are now benched so will be out in a week or 2 pending better options (S.Ryan, Bytel, Bowes)
Can anyone tell me what happened to ridley today? Just a bad day or did he have to play more accountable when BZT got injured? Or did he play out the game? I didn’t watch it. Cheers.
I need daicos in asap and looking to trade aggressively to get him. Ridley and doch are on notice. Also got the headache of Callaghan (don’t like his role), chesser and Sean darcy.
As much as everyone wanted, he is NOT in a free, unaccountable intercept role. That is just never going to happen again. Dons just don’t have proper key defensive stocks.
BZT went down late. If he’s out LT then Ridley is absolutely screwed. Case to trade him either way.
Role was not there at all plus Ridley was not running around demanding the ball, everything went through Redman and McGrath. IMO way too many mouths to feed down in the bombers backline. I will be sideways trading Ridley for Naicos.
People will think I am crazy but there is method in my madness.
Out – Laird, Gawn and Ratagulea
In – Daicos, English and Zeibell.
Laird is not the problem but getting a better F6 than Ratagulea, Green and Caminiti is a must.
Overall it benefits my squad.
Cue the thumbs down….
Slight change of plans
Out – Docherty, Gawn & F Green
In – Daicos, Nank the Tank & Zeibell
Hopefully not so many thumbs down.
Essentially choosing whether to have Docherty or Laird
At this stage for R3 –
OUT : S Darcy, Flanders & Callaghan
IN : D Cameron, N Daicos, & Caminiti (can only afford a rookie under $107K)
Not putting up with Darcy’s ruck rubbish, Callaghan’s shoulder a worry, and Flanders doing nothing. Will probably change my mind – as too many players under performing, especially those that were “premium” – Doc, Neale, Rozee. Maybe I should find a way to have multiple Sheezels…..
TU: Ridley to Daicos sideways trade
TD: Bazlenka to Worpel & Chesser to Daicos
Bazlenka was a risk that looks like it’s not paying off. Especially with my mid being Macrae M1 Baz M2… I can bring in worp and run 4 premos in def if I keep Ridley – but my mid is then thin – Macrae, Green, Setter, Hopper, Worpel, Calla, Ashcroft, Mackenzie
Kid is obviously insane. My worry is (and was through the whole pre-season) that with performances like that the tags will come. Has Dons, Saints and Lions in the next month and I can see them them all tagging. Caldwell, Windhager, Berry.
He burnt Jones on Saturday, yes, but he was never going to keep up.
Argh. Genuinely worry about tags but season long he’ll probably have enough unencumbered outings to balance it out? Seems an easy switch for Cumming…
Setterfield also messing with my head. No clear avenue to get him in but was ultra impressive today in a great role.
Geez, good luck to Caldwell and Berry chasing him around!
I am a non-owner, and was worried about the tags too but maybe teams can’t effectively tag him? He takes kick outs, can play anywhere, they try and get it to him at all costs.
I’m biting the bullet I think
Completely understandable GD, I was muttering foul words to myself every time I checked the scores and saw Daicos’ score growing. All preseason I said to myself there’s no way teams will just let him go about his business unattended but here we are round 2 and I don’t see how anyone can stop him.
If there’s no glaring issues with the team (Darcy, Macrae, Steele) then I would argue hold firm and eventually bring him in once it’s upgrade season BUT a Cummings swap does look appealing. I like Cummings purely because GWS seem to have stagnated which means a lot of footy will be going his way. However, despite the potential risk of a tag, by seasons end which one of Daicos or Cummings would you predict to end up top 6 … it’s not Cummings. Do the trade and enjoy watching him rack them up – it’s only a matter of time before he hits the 200.
On Setterfield, as a Bombers supporter it’s been a treat to watch the trio of Merrett, Parish and Setters go to work. My concern is with Stringer coming back in next week, there might be a reduction of CBA’s for Setters, albeit you’d think with the Bombers’ forward injury woes Jake would spend more time down there.
What does your trades look like if you bring in Setters/Daicos?
Completely agree re expecting teams not to let Daicos do as he pleases but here we are.
Daicos for Cumming would be a direct swap but no real path for Setterfield.
It would have to be Cally up (which I’m not opposed to after that shoulder) but don’t have 100k I can carve out. Neale -> LDU would get it done but LDU with a tough upcoming fixture. Witts -> D. Cameron would also swing it but really don’t like dropping premos down just for the 100k.
Agreed, I’m not liking those trades just to bring Setters in. As we seen with Laird this week, we chose the premos for a reason – so stick with them. Witts/Neale’s floors are 100 and you’ll take that every time. Like many of us, I think we’ll have to accept that we missed one and move on. Do the Daicos sideways trade and enjoy the rest of the week.
GD I’m thinking that Setterfield is this year’s Brodie. If he Tons up again next week you’ll need to find another 75k to get him in, Nick will probably cost you 40k. if you wait a week on him, you get one more week to see if he’s tagable.
I’m already going Darcy and Bruhn OUT for Cameron and Ziebell. I’m also considering using a boost to go Ridley OUT for Daicos. I know it’s a sideways swap, but he seems like he can’t co exist with Redman in the same backline, plus Daicos seems to be not suffering from second-year blues like I feared he would.
I hoping these will be the last trades I’ll be making for a week or two.
TU: Yes/Daicos is a must have
TD: No/Give Ridley another chance
T/U
Callaghan, Bruhn and Ratugolea > Daicos, Chandler and Caminiti
T/D
Bruhn and Ratugolea > Zieball and Chandler
Basically, the first trade will mean I’m fielding an additional forward rookie but it’S not like Bruhn was scoring more than a rookie anyways. Second trade maintains my deep forward line however it also means I’m still fielding 4 rookies down back.
Sorry scratch that not down to Hollands that doesn’t give enough dosh. But will be a rookie downgrade to make the 6k cash for Cameron. Basically asking
TU – 1 trade bruhn to ziebell
TD – 2 trades one downgrade rookie, then bruhn to Cameron
Yeah, May would be the main one. Comes back this week.
Definitely comes back and takes some of that distribution economy. Lever been going well but sort of one you’d have had to have started to get value from.
3 for me this week, after 1 last to get a non playing forward to loophole Oliver’s VC this week.
So, Gawn to Darcy Cameron, Fyfe to Sheezel then Darryl McDowell-White to Setterfield. leaves 32 trades and 59K.
I can’t swing a trade to get Laird or LDU yet but gives me 3,3,2,4 premos on each line. And typically there’s more midfield premos so plenty of options that the forwards don’t tend to present.
Hi all, not been the ideal start to the year!
Thinking Darcy to Cameron, Bruhn to Worpel Cole to Naicos.
Have a Fwd line of Dunks, Cogs,Rozee,Taranto,Gulden,Sheezel. With Tracc to come forward and Sheezel back after r6. Point is Cameron pure Ruck instead of r/fwd…
Thoughts appreciated.
Interesting comments as most of the findings remain the same after 2 weeks. Still a small sample size but it’s the last chance to make the changes before the price jump.
Hoping you guys can help out.
Tossed and turned as Id like ldu, ziebel and mckenna but there is only so much we can have.
Decided on
Chandler Cameron and ndaicos for McRae Callahan and Flanders.
What you guys think?
Thinking of using the boost this week. No injuries (except maybe Callaghan), 35 trades left, and rest of the team doing okay (ranked 3000ish). What are your thoughts on this?
Out: L Jones, Callaghan, and Flanders
In: Daicos, Chandler, and Cole (all will be on-field)
TU: Yep, get rid of those filthy midpricers
TD: Save the trades, those fellas will still earn enough and score more on field than the other three combined.
Is Setterfield a “must have” in a midfield that is currently Laird, Oliver, Bont, Miller, Green, Hopper, Ashcroft, Callaghan (Mackenzie, Baker, Davey) ? I don’t expect him to be a keeper but he’s looking like a solid stepping stone.
I can bring in Setterfield for any of the last 4 names, which means Ashcroft M9
Your midfield is stacked, I’d think that Mackenzie will be a fine M8 for some time but could be worth looking at Callaghan to someone else to shore up one of your other lines. Ziebell could be worth or if you need a defender, either Bowes or Crozier could score well and improve that line while being useful stepping stones
Cheers Johnno, did Fyfe to Ziebell last round but Bowes is one I’ll be looking at. Possibly for Callaghan. Also I realised I go got a typo, if I get Setterfield it’s actually Ashcroft at M8 onfield, not M9.
Yay for me picking Ridley over Daicos an hour before Round 1…if I sideways Ridley to Daicos, I can’t do anything else, but if I go for Docherty to Daicos, I can bring in McKenna/Chandler for Chesser/Greene somehow.
DEF
S. Docherty, J. Dawson, J. Ridley, R. Ginbey, D. Wilmot, C. Constable (C. Chesser, L. Cowan)
MID
C. Oliver, M. Bontempelli, A. Brayshaw, T. Green, J. Hopper, W. Ashcroft, C. Mackenzie, O. Hollands (O. Baker, A. Davey, N. Long)
RUC
T. Nankervis, R. Marshall (N. Madden)
FWD
J. Dunkley, S. Coniglio, C. Rozee, T. Taranto, H. Sheezel, M. Phillipou (F. Greene, A. Caminiti)
TU:
Bruhn, Jones, Chesser > Ziebell, Mckenna, Ned long
TD:
Bruhn, Doch, Callaghan > Ziebell, brennan cox, setterfield,
First one is more standard and the one ive been thinking of for a while but kinda like the value in the second one. Not sure if callaghan is injured i may be forced to do it
Seems like a great trade and nothing wrong having that much in the bank for upgrades later. You are getting rid of an underperforming premo ruck, a possible medium term injured player and a rookie who will probably be dropped for 3 guys that are scoring well and scoring above their price
Just going to do this and then not think about it for the rest of the week. At the moment, more thought seem to lead to worse decisions!
OUT: Steele, Bytel and Ratugolea
IN: Daicos, LDU and Chandler
Although if a miracle occurs and Bytel is named to play this week…
Also, to the Ridley owners (of which I am one) – jump off if you can. He looked terrible against the Suns in terms of role and scoring potential. I wish I could find a way to get rid of him!
I don’t have either ziebell or setterfield, the only way I would be able to get either in would be through trading out Callaghan however I also need to free up funds through downgrading a premo.. doesn’t sound ideal however interested in peoples thoughts.
First trade locked in;
Ratugolea > Chandler
Questioning the following:
Rozee > Gulden (Frees up funds for below)
Callaghan > Ziebell
I have avoided most of the carnage with injuries so far (Hopper is a wait and see but have coverage in Constable or Baker) so only correction trades. I also have a bit of a war chest going into this round and have seen enough of Naicos and Sheez to bring them in with Chesser and Bruhn going out. Will probably do a boost and look at a third trade.
TU: Flanders to Ziebel
TD: Macrae to LDU (with Simpkin out and possible Macginess tag incoming) also means fielding Flanders or a rookie at F6
I’m looking to commit a cardinal son of premo sidewaysing Neale. Really want to capitalise on LDUs current price
Looking to use boost this week & trade as follows:
Neale —> LDU
Grundy —> Cameron
Bruhn —> Ziebell
Leaves me with $228,100 in the bank for future moves. I could alternatively choose English over Cameron but think I’d rather the extra cash to upgrade my defence soon
I didn’t do any trades last week, and the only on-field change in plan on making is Young to Daicos. I’m missing a couple of the cash cows so
TU – Use Trade Boost to fix up some of my rookies.
TD – Just use the 2 trades.
Doing Bruhn, Jones > Ziebell, Mckenna already
For 3rd trade
TU:
Chesser > Long (Hollands on field)
TD:
Chesser > Chandler through gulden dpp (chandler on field)
So would rather chandler but it means i have to field him and have hollands at M9. If i get long means hollands can stay at M8 and long is on the bench but i think chandler will have better cash gen
Already planning to bring in LDU and Naicos for Steele and Liam Jones.
Is it also worth using a boost to bring in Chandler for Ratugolea (current F7/R3 swing)
Should we be worried about ziebells scoring if hall comes back? Hall just posted a 120 in the vfl this weekend, could be up for selection. Is it something we should consider when picking ziebell this week or in future?
TU – yes could hurt his scoring
TD – nope he will keep doing his thing
Rozee looked pretty good in a poor port performance. Prefer to keep your premos if u can and RAT may keep his position but will be a slow burn with these scores. RAT to chandler best choice in my opinion
I have 88k ITB
Getting rid of:
Bruhn, Fyfe and Hopper to get Daicos, Setterfield and Sheezal and wouldn’t you know it, I’m 6k short! So patience has to prevail.
This week
Out Bruhn, Fyfe
In Setterfield,Sheezal
Leaves me with 164.k ITB
Next week
Out Hopper, and one of Constable, Wilmot , Uwland
In Daicos and possibly Caminiti.
TU. Good plan
TD Have a rethink
Rate daicos as a must but feel the Callaghan too worpel move is crucial especially after callaghan has hurt his shoulder.. still love your thoughts though.
Just means I miss chesser – chandler.
All correctional but at the same time feel a bit sideways.. worpel will be another trade down the track and banking on Cameron being a keeper at R2 or F6/7.
I could go to Ziebell / Bowes but don’t like the hawks matchup for Ziebell & get another week to watch bowes and upgrade then anyway before price rise.
Team structure is looking very solid, looking at making a correctional rookie trade;
Ratugolea > Chandler
However, is ziebell a must trade in this week?
What if it requires you to use 2 trades to get him in? This will activate trade boost to get him in as I am already making another trade for chandler..
Tu; Use the boost & get ziebell
Td; Hold off & save the trades
Didn’t pull the trigger on Fyfe and Jones to Daicos and Chandler last week so looking to swing it this week except dragging in either Setterfield or Ziebell into my side as well.
This is what it looks like right now, with a little extra cash to afford Chandler if I go with Setterfield.
Fyfe, L Jones & W Phillips TO Setterfield, Daicos & K Chandler
OR
Fyfe, L Jones & W Phillips TO Ziebell, Daicos & N Long
Greene is probably the most dispensable of that group but I’m not sure any absolutely have to go for Chandler. Just don’t think it’ll be completely worth a trade but Chesser to McKenna is a great move
I’ve got Macrae and I’m holding him with the hope that Bevo realises something needs to change for them to start winning again. I’d also keep Neale but I seem a lot more cautious at the moment than most of this site
I know his money is going to tank but is Sean Darcy a trade? Takes on West coast with Nic Nat not playing so “should” towel up the substitute rucks they have? Or is he under an injury cloud?
TU Darcy to bounce back with a 110+
TD kick that bum to the curb
Freo will come to their senses and return him to #1 ruck and the Eagles are a sensational ruck opponent. We made Flynn look like Dean Cox for four quarters yesterday.
All that said, trading him to Tingles is a huge net on OA points as he’s R1 when in full flight and dropping him down to D. Cameron and then parlaying that 100k into something lit is banging.
Think those propositions are better than just holding him for one potential good score. The spectre of Jackson stealing his ruck economy will loom over him for the rest of the season.
Thanks GD
This year has me scrambling. Flanders, Bruhn, Darcy….just a muppet factory I seem to have created. Plenty of time to bounce back but trades are burning fast! Hope you are fairing better than me!
Anyone else you can trade instead of Madden? He’s basement price and is so useful as a loophole so it’s not like you picked him expecting playing time?
Got 5 on the chopping block, can’t decide who goes…..
Gawn – definitely, probably to Cameron
Chesser – looks like he’s about to be dropped but not much cash back in the pot
Fyfe – adds cash to the pot, but won’t lose money for another round, and might even miss another
Flanders – might make a bit of money maybe keep an extra week?
Rat – same as Flanders but touch and go
My current thoughts of which 3 go this week are:
TU: Gawn, Flanders, Fyfe
TD: Gawn, Flanders, Rat
Comment: Another option
This will then lead into the decision making of who to get – one for another day
Bailey Dale (POD that has not worked)
to N.Daicos
J.Steele (injured) to LDU
E.Ratugolea to ????
T/U
Have all good rookies apart from Chandler bring him in
Or
T/D
Setterfield or Ziebell
Fyfe > Setterfield
Chesser > Daicos
Jackson > Witts
How much do you have in the kitty to afford that wow …
Upwards of a solid half a mill lol.
LDU the real deal ?
TU
TD
Cheers
yep Trent.
He could go 200 this week v the Hawks.
2287 bont as C
The good – ldu, Marshall, laird
The bad – bruhn, dale
This weeks trades
Dale to Daicos
Bruhn to zieball?
TU – good trades
TD – better options
Probably overthinking this one too much, however will Finn Callaghan still make the money we need?
Tu; Hold
Td; Trade
Cally is tricky.
Copped a sublax early on the same shoulder he missed all of last year with. I was surprised he didn’t go straight off and we were all left with a 19. Battled through it and basically played injured with one arm, even with us bamboozling the Giants. Such a great kid. Role as a winger in a high accu./outside ball generating side good as well.
As shitty as it is, I wouldn’t be surprised if a) that shoulder pops or b) he gets put on ice.
Considering a pre-emptive trade, as much as I like him
Flanders to get the flick first and foremost, going to be satisfying
Thinking Doch to Daicos, Darcy to English and Fyfe to Sheezel. Also have the option to move Day to Daicos but he’s proved he could earn me some cash.
TU: Keep Doch
TD: Boot him
If keep Doch, Day to Daicos?
TU: Yep
TD: Nah
Hey,Dane. I’m looking at similar trades in that I want N daicos in at nearly any cost and have the Darcy problem… I also have Day and think I’ll hold him. Darcy is against WC next week and hopefully the last Q this week reminded JL that he is a ruckman not a forward, hence my inclination to hold another week. Sheezel is a must Imho . Isn’t the old golden rule never sideways trade a premo? I would hold Doch and just find another way to get Daicos in..
Yep, (pending selections of course) but at this stage I am going
Doch, Darcy & Chesser to Daicos, English & Long plus $88k
Rules are made to be broken – may be a dumb move but only time will tell.
What to do with Jack Macrae? He’s been Bevo’d with his CBA attendance under 50% against the Saints.
TU: He has to go, you can’t trust Bevo
TD: Hold tight and hope Bevo comes to his senses
Dogs CBAs v Saints:
Libba 20, Tingles 19, Bont 17, Daniel 13, Macrae 9, Smith 7.
Yeah, fuck that. Cya later.
Dogs also on the decline for mine. Poorly managed.
What are Sean Darcy owners thinking?
TU: Trade
TD: Hold
Similar to above. Going to back a wholesale premo re-work for you, Slats. Lol.
Darcy has to go, yes. Cannot co-exist with Jackson. The fact he was played forward was absolutely galling. Expect them to return to Darcy as #1 but even then Jackson will have a third of the ruck economy.

– Tingles: R1 in full flight, ball out
– Witts: for consistency, second to only Tingles
– Cameron: value option, gives you 100k to apportion to make up the difference between him and Tingles/Witts
Thoughts on Nankervis or ROB GD? They’re all I can afford unfortunately.
Would just go RoMo & D. Cameron, Dane.
Value, better scorers.
Don’t tell me you’ve already got both with D. Cameron FWD lol?
If that’s the case and you need to replace Darcy. Hmm.
I’d find 20k and get him to Tingles. Any rookies you can drop to Long or Chandler and bank some cash?
I do have D Cameron forward, yep haha. For now I’ve shifted him to Ruck, moved Taranto to FWD, and effectively turned Darcy into LDU.
Oh, yeah. That’s great.
Nice work on having D. Cameron selected in the first place and then, yep, those DPP moves are legit sensational.
Imagine your team looks sexy now lol.
I am going Darcy > Cameron (+100k) and using money to fund Chesser > McKenna and Greene > Sheezel.
Pending teams, now my problems are Flanders and Ratagoulea, maybe Callaghan but the first two are now benched so will be out in a week or 2 pending better options (S.Ryan, Bytel, Bowes)
I am embarrassed to ask as I like to back my selections in and nottrade sideways, but is Ridely to Daicos smart?
TU: Use a trade
TD: Save the trade and get Daicos later
Think I might have to use my 2nd boost of the season which is very unfortunate but took some risks and copped some injuries.
Steele, Bruhn, Flanders > LDU, Chandler and tossing up who for my 3rd pick.
TU: Cox
TD: Ziebell
Haven’t watched either Freo games so dunno how good he has looked but those scores are hard to look past.
Cox also went 130 in the pre-season game. Might be the real deal?
Theres rumours flying around insiders at Freo that he might be moved forward full time next week -i’d watch one more week if you could
Cumming -> Daicos
Tsitas (FWD loop) -> Chandler
Can anyone tell me what happened to ridley today? Just a bad day or did he have to play more accountable when BZT got injured? Or did he play out the game? I didn’t watch it. Cheers.
I need daicos in asap and looking to trade aggressively to get him. Ridley and doch are on notice. Also got the headache of Callaghan (don’t like his role), chesser and Sean darcy.
He played on Casboult, Mav.
As much as everyone wanted, he is NOT in a free, unaccountable intercept role. That is just never going to happen again. Dons just don’t have proper key defensive stocks.
BZT went down late. If he’s out LT then Ridley is absolutely screwed. Case to trade him either way.
Thanks GD.
Looks like I’m making the trades
Ridley -> daicos
Darcy -> DCam
The third will be a rookie correction.
Chesser -> one of chandler, Holland’s or mckenna
Role was not there at all plus Ridley was not running around demanding the ball, everything went through Redman and McGrath. IMO way too many mouths to feed down in the bombers backline. I will be sideways trading Ridley for Naicos.
People will think I am crazy but there is method in my madness.
Out – Laird, Gawn and Ratagulea
In – Daicos, English and Zeibell.
Laird is not the problem but getting a better F6 than Ratagulea, Green and Caminiti is a must.
Overall it benefits my squad.
Cue the thumbs down….
Ooof, Shaggi.
I get it but surely there’s a better way of improving your F6 (which, yes, HAS to change).
How about:
Gawn -> RoMo/Cameron
Rat -> Ziebell
Can you swing that? I get the appeal of Tingles, he looks money, but Laird looks to be back to M1.
Slight change of plans
Out – Docherty, Gawn & F Green
In – Daicos, Nank the Tank & Zeibell
Hopefully not so many thumbs down.
Essentially choosing whether to have Docherty or Laird
At this stage for R3 –
OUT : S Darcy, Flanders & Callaghan
IN : D Cameron, N Daicos, & Caminiti (can only afford a rookie under $107K)
Not putting up with Darcy’s ruck rubbish, Callaghan’s shoulder a worry, and Flanders doing nothing. Will probably change my mind – as too many players under performing, especially those that were “premium” – Doc, Neale, Rozee. Maybe I should find a way to have multiple Sheezels…..
TU : Good trades
TD : Back to the drawing board.
I want Daicos in. Do I:
TU: Ridley to Daicos sideways trade
TD: Bazlenka to Worpel & Chesser to Daicos
Bazlenka was a risk that looks like it’s not paying off. Especially with my mid being Macrae M1 Baz M2… I can bring in worp and run 4 premos in def if I keep Ridley – but my mid is then thin – Macrae, Green, Setter, Hopper, Worpel, Calla, Ashcroft, Mackenzie
Any thoughts are appreciated
Is this crazy
Gawn , Macrae > Cameron, Setterfield
Gotta then use that 400k~ for a premo. Can’t have it sitting there.
Gawn -> Cameron
Macrae -> Setters
Rookie -> 500k~ premo
Also merit to just sidewaysing Macrae to a proper premo.
Up to you.
Don’t go Macrae to Setterfield
Daicos, Daicos, Daicos. What to do.
Kid is obviously insane. My worry is (and was through the whole pre-season) that with performances like that the tags will come. Has Dons, Saints and Lions in the next month and I can see them them all tagging. Caldwell, Windhager, Berry.
He burnt Jones on Saturday, yes, but he was never going to keep up.
Argh. Genuinely worry about tags but season long he’ll probably have enough unencumbered outings to balance it out? Seems an easy switch for Cumming…
Setterfield also messing with my head. No clear avenue to get him in but was ultra impressive today in a great role.
Geez, good luck to Caldwell and Berry chasing him around!
I am a non-owner, and was worried about the tags too but maybe teams can’t effectively tag him? He takes kick outs, can play anywhere, they try and get it to him at all costs.
I’m biting the bullet I think
Bullshit just stick with him follow him when he kicks in the players in r1 and r2 gave him way to much space
Completely understandable GD, I was muttering foul words to myself every time I checked the scores and saw Daicos’ score growing. All preseason I said to myself there’s no way teams will just let him go about his business unattended but here we are round 2 and I don’t see how anyone can stop him.

I like Cummings purely because GWS seem to have stagnated which means a lot of footy will be going his way. However, despite the potential risk of a tag, by seasons end which one of Daicos or Cummings would you predict to end up top 6 … it’s not Cummings. Do the trade and enjoy watching him rack them up – it’s only a matter of time before he hits the 200.

My concern is with Stringer coming back in next week, there might be a reduction of CBA’s for Setters, albeit you’d think with the Bombers’ forward injury woes Jake would spend more time down there.
What does your trades look like if you bring in Setters/Daicos?
Thanks, LG.
Completely agree re expecting teams not to let Daicos do as he pleases but here we are.
Daicos for Cumming would be a direct swap but no real path for Setterfield.
It would have to be Cally up (which I’m not opposed to after that shoulder) but don’t have 100k I can carve out. Neale -> LDU would get it done but LDU with a tough upcoming fixture. Witts -> D. Cameron would also swing it but really don’t like dropping premos down just for the 100k.

Witts/Neale’s floors are 100 and you’ll take that every time. Like many of us, I think we’ll have to accept that we missed one and move on. Do the Daicos sideways trade and enjoy the rest of the week.
Sage stuff, LG. Appreciate it.
Have a good one.
Im not sure Stringer comes back that quick. He’s not fit. A Dangerfield type “pre season” would be better for him and the bombers long term.
Get Setters in, he’s not going from the midfield any time soon
GD I’m thinking that Setterfield is this year’s Brodie. If he Tons up again next week you’ll need to find another 75k to get him in, Nick will probably cost you 40k. if you wait a week on him, you get one more week to see if he’s tagable.
What do you guys think?
C.Chesser,M.gawn,S.Flander > H.Sheezel, D.Cameron and L.Davies-Uniacke
made my first two trades and have 300k sitting in the bank. Nobody else that I want to trade, but want ziebell in, here are my current trades;
Steele > LDU
Darcy > Cameron
TU:trade chesser >ziebell
TD: leave it at 2 trades.
If Darcy must be traded:
TU: English
TD: Cameron +120k elsewhere
TD for hold him another week
Whats a better trade??
T/U – Ridley > Daicos
or
T/D – NWM > Worpel
Cheers legends
I’m already going Darcy and Bruhn OUT for Cameron and Ziebell. I’m also considering using a boost to go Ridley OUT for Daicos. I know it’s a sideways swap, but he seems like he can’t co exist with Redman in the same backline, plus Daicos seems to be not suffering from second-year blues like I feared he would.
I hoping these will be the last trades I’ll be making for a week or two.
TU: Yes/Daicos is a must have
TD: No/Give Ridley another chance
Two possible trade scenarios for me …
T/U
Callaghan, Bruhn and Ratugolea > Daicos, Chandler and Caminiti
T/D
Bruhn and Ratugolea > Zieball and Chandler
Basically, the first trade will mean I’m fielding an additional forward rookie but it’S not like Bruhn was scoring more than a rookie anyways. Second trade maintains my deep forward line however it also means I’m still fielding 4 rookies down back.
TU – 1 trade bruhn to zieball
TD – 2 trades philipou to Hollands, bruhn to cameron.
Need an extra 6k to get Cameron from bruhn that is why the extra trade is needed.
Sorry scratch that not down to Hollands that doesn’t give enough dosh. But will be a rookie downgrade to make the 6k cash for Cameron. Basically asking
TU – 1 trade bruhn to ziebell
TD – 2 trades one downgrade rookie, then bruhn to Cameron
TU Hunter Clark to Conor McKenna
TD. Sean Darcy to Darcy Cameron
Cheers
Both? Then parlay that 250k into something spicy.
Will Hunter Clark get more midfield time with Steele out?
Clark’s a dud. Doesn’t matter.
Wouldn’t have the tank for full time MID anyway.
5 CBAs v Dogs, 69% TOG, negligible contribution.
Darcy and Callaghan to Daicos and Cameron.
Thoughts?
One injury. Two corrections. Everything else is looking swell.
Steele > LDU
Darcy > English
Ridley > Daicos
I need one more week to ascertain whether Macrae has been Bevo’d beyond repair.
Thinking
Cunnington – Chandler
Brodie – LDU
Chesser – Lever
Yay or Nay?
Are Melbourne waiting on defenders to come back or is Levers role pretty solid?
Yeah, May would be the main one. Comes back this week.
Definitely comes back and takes some of that distribution economy. Lever been going well but sort of one you’d have had to have started to get value from.
Cheers GD,
What do you think of Brennan Cox or even Jeremy McGovern instead?
Pedlar to Sheezel
Chesser to Chandler
Macrae to LDU
Currently ranked about 3000
TU: D Cameron
TD: Gulden
I can only fit one…
3 for me this week, after 1 last to get a non playing forward to loophole Oliver’s VC this week.
So, Gawn to Darcy Cameron, Fyfe to Sheezel then Darryl McDowell-White to Setterfield. leaves 32 trades and 59K.
I can’t swing a trade to get Laird or LDU yet but gives me 3,3,2,4 premos on each line. And typically there’s more midfield premos so plenty of options that the forwards don’t tend to present.
I think daicos isn’t worth hesitating on pull the trigger
Hi all, not been the ideal start to the year!
Thinking Darcy to Cameron, Bruhn to Worpel Cole to Naicos.
Have a Fwd line of Dunks, Cogs,Rozee,Taranto,Gulden,Sheezel. With Tracc to come forward and Sheezel back after r6. Point is Cameron pure Ruck instead of r/fwd…
Thoughts appreciated.
Refuse to use a boost, GD helped me settle on these two.
Richards -> LDU (Constable from bench to D6)
The Fake (Sean) Darcy -> to the real
Darcy (Cameron)
TU: Darcy Cameron & Jack Ziebell
TD: Tim English & Errol Gulden
can only bring in one
Settlerfield t/u
Ziebell t/d
TU: Tim English & Jack Ziebell
TD: Darcy Cameron & Errol Gulden
Interesting comments as most of the findings remain the same after 2 weeks. Still a small sample size but it’s the last chance to make the changes before the price jump.
Hoping you guys can help out.
Tossed and turned as Id like ldu, ziebel and mckenna but there is only so much we can have.
Decided on
Chandler Cameron and ndaicos for McRae Callahan and Flanders.
What you guys think?
Is it worth using a boost to bring in Chandler for Chesser?
Draper to D Cameron (should have stuck with Cameron when I first made my lineup)
Do we need to trade chesser?
What to do with my mids? Highest average of 97.5 (mids are Neale, Trac, crouch, Warner & Maxy Holmes)
Ridley – Daicos
S Darcy – D Cameron
Could then go L Jones to Setterfield via dpp, or bank 160k cash
TU: make the trade
TD: keep the cash
Pretty simple for me this week
Out
Ratugolea
Flanders
Hunter clark
In
Daicos
Hollands
Chandler
On 2nd thoughts
T/U Daicos and 40k left over
Or
T/D Brennan Cox and 100k left
is it worth hanging onto grundy? i have Cameron in the FWD line i can switch in and replace with maybe Chandler? allows me then to get Daicos or LDU
TU – hang on to him
TD – bury him
Why is everyone so keen on Darcy CAmeron all of a sudden? Yes hes scored well but Cox is still in the team.
TU Witts
TD Cameron
Because he’s scored well with Cox in the team so the preseason think on him was wrong.
Also he’s the only relevant R/F in the game and an underpriced Premo. Which means more cash to fix other lines before price changes fix that
Thinking of using the boost this week. No injuries (except maybe Callaghan), 35 trades left, and rest of the team doing okay (ranked 3000ish). What are your thoughts on this?
Out: L Jones, Callaghan, and Flanders
In: Daicos, Chandler, and Cole (all will be on-field)
TU: Yep, get rid of those filthy midpricers
TD: Save the trades, those fellas will still earn enough and score more on field than the other three combined.
Thanks!
Pedlar > Chandler (F6)
O Allen > Ziebell (F4)
Love your work guys…
2 options for me this week;
Doc, Finny, Rat to Daicos, Setters, Chandler
(Or)
Young, Finny, Rat to Daicos Setters, Chandler
Don’t have LDU or Ziebell so happy would welcome alternatives
Cheers
400k in bank
Straight swap
Jones to LDU? Constable is in my mid I can just rotate and be can play defence.
Is Setterfield a “must have” in a midfield that is currently Laird, Oliver, Bont, Miller, Green, Hopper, Ashcroft, Callaghan (Mackenzie, Baker, Davey) ? I don’t expect him to be a keeper but he’s looking like a solid stepping stone.
I can bring in Setterfield for any of the last 4 names, which means Ashcroft M9
TU: Get Setterfield
TD: No need
Your midfield is stacked, I’d think that Mackenzie will be a fine M8 for some time but could be worth looking at Callaghan to someone else to shore up one of your other lines. Ziebell could be worth or if you need a defender, either Bowes or Crozier could score well and improve that line while being useful stepping stones
Cheers Johnno, did Fyfe to Ziebell last round but Bowes is one I’ll be looking at. Possibly for Callaghan. Also I realised I go got a typo, if I get Setterfield it’s actually Ashcroft at M8 onfield, not M9.
Definitely doing 3 trades this week .
Out Gawn, Hunter Clark, Rookie correction.
Gawn > Cameron is locked an loaded
So choosing between
TU Upgrade Clark to a 500-550 premo (don’t have enough for LDU) and rookie correct at the rookie price point
TD sideswap Clark to another 250k -350k midpricer that looks good (already have setterfield) and upgrade a 123k rookie to a 250k-350k midpricer.
TU seems safer, TD seems riskier but with far more upside
TU Bruhn to Setterfield
TD Bruhn to Ziebell
What rookies will you have at M8 or F6 otherwise? I’d probably look at what gets the worse player off field
Need to replace Gawn.
TU English
TD Cameron
T/U Out…Fyfe Chesser Callaghan….In Wilmot Chandler Setterfield $202.2k

OUT: Darcy Chesser Ratugolea
IN: Cameron Daicos Setterfield

TU Do it
TD Save the boost (no Ratugolea to Setterfield)
Yay for me picking Ridley over Daicos an hour before Round 1…if I sideways Ridley to Daicos, I can’t do anything else, but if I go for Docherty to Daicos, I can bring in McKenna/Chandler for Chesser/Greene somehow.

TD: D Cameron, N Daicos, Caminti (due to budget)
Third Option (which I am currently liking)

TU: Yes
TD: No
TU: Ziebell

First one is more standard and the one ive been thinking of for a while but kinda like the value in the second one. Not sure if callaghan is injured i may be forced to do it
DOCHERTY
TU: Trade
TD: Hold
Sean Darcy
TU: Trade
TD: Hold
Noah Anderson to LDU?
Thinking of going
Flanders -> setterfield
Darcy -> Darcy Cameron
Bruhn -> ziebell
Hey guys – contemplating the following scenario but will mean I end up with $125k spare cash in the bank.
Trade OUT – Sean Darcy, Steele & Chesser
Trade IN – Setterfield, Darcy Cameron & Ziebell
TU: Do it and bank that money for a trade in the next couple of weeks
TD: Don’t – use that extra money now!
Seems like a great trade and nothing wrong having that much in the bank for upgrades later. You are getting rid of an underperforming premo ruck, a possible medium term injured player and a rookie who will probably be dropped for 3 guys that are scoring well and scoring above their price
Chesser to
TU: McKenna
TD: Chandler
Is Ridley a must do to daicos this round?
or is that dumb
TU: do it
TD: hold
Just going to do this and then not think about it for the rest of the week. At the moment, more thought seem to lead to worse decisions!
OUT: Steele, Bytel and Ratugolea
IN: Daicos, LDU and Chandler
Although if a miracle occurs and Bytel is named to play this week…
Also, to the Ridley owners (of which I am one) – jump off if you can. He looked terrible against the Suns in terms of role and scoring potential. I wish I could find a way to get rid of him!
Bytel was just hurt so missed through injury but was pretty decent in our midfield against Freo so might be coming back in to help with Steele out
I don’t have either ziebell or setterfield, the only way I would be able to get either in would be through trading out Callaghan however I also need to free up funds through downgrading a premo.. doesn’t sound ideal however interested in peoples thoughts.
First trade locked in;
Ratugolea > Chandler
Questioning the following:
Rozee > Gulden (Frees up funds for below)
Callaghan > Ziebell
Tu; Go for it
Td; Absolutely not!!
Darcy –> Cameron
Macrae –> LDU
Esava (M7) –> Ziebell
OR
Ridley –> Daicos
Callaghan –> Ziebell
Esava –> Caminti
Can also do:
Ridley –> Daicos
Callaghan –> Ziebell
Darcy –> Cameron (leaving Esava M7)
eed some advice guys,
I have Darcy, Ridley & Macrae, do I trade them all?
My initial thoughts were to trade them for English, Daicos & another premo mid, but unsure who (can afford anyone bar Laird).
My side is currently:
DEF: Brayshaw, Ridley, Ginbey, McKenna, Wilmot, Constable (Chesser, Cowan)
MID: Oliver, Miller, Macrae, LDU, Green, Hopper, Ashcroft, Mackenzie (Phillipou, Hollands, Baker)
RUCK: Darcy, Marshall (Madden)
FWD: Dunkley, Rozee, Taranto, Gulden, Sheezel, Davey (Greene, Caminiti)
Any advice welcome!
Cheers
Fyfe to:
TU: Zeibell (+ bank $100k)
TD: Cameron
Comment: Find $50k and get Cogs
Would you rather:
TU: Darcy > English
TD: Darcy > Cameron
I’m not convinced that DC can maintain this pace all year long. Happy to hear other thoughts.
Cameron only if you have plans for the extra cash saved otherwise go Tingles
Can also do:
Ridley –> Daicos
Callaghan –> Ziebell
Darcy –> Cameron (leaving Esava M7)
Resetting some early poor choices…..
Chesser > Setterfield
Darcy > Cameron
Bruhn > Chandler
Leaves $97.5k ITB to look at a possible upgrade next week. Daicos, Davies-Uniacke, Ziebell not options at the moment and already have Sheezel.
TU; Do it
TD; Do something else
Thanks in advance!
Chesser to Chandler to make extra cash
TU: Yes
TD: No
Suspect Chesser will be dropped this week. Good trade
Chester’s not the worst loop option out there.
Don’t think keeping him hurts you much if every other rookie is rock solid
Darcy, Macrae & Chesser to Daicos, Cameron & Setterfield?
I have avoided most of the carnage with injuries so far (Hopper is a wait and see but have coverage in Constable or Baker) so only correction trades. I also have a bit of a war chest going into this round and have seen enough of Naicos and Sheez to bring them in with Chesser and Bruhn going out. Will probably do a boost and look at a third trade.
TU: Flanders to Ziebel
TD: Macrae to LDU (with Simpkin out and possible Macginess tag incoming) also means fielding Flanders or a rookie at F6
I’m looking to commit a cardinal son of premo sidewaysing Neale. Really want to capitalise on LDUs current price
Looking to use boost this week & trade as follows:
Neale —> LDU
Grundy —> Cameron
Bruhn —> Ziebell
Leaves me with $228,100 in the bank for future moves. I could alternatively choose English over Cameron but think I’d rather the extra cash to upgrade my defence soon
Hello Jim Bob, plenty TD and I can understand why. Trading Neale & Grundy[sole ruck for the next 4 wks] is a waste of trades.
I didn’t do any trades last week, and the only on-field change in plan on making is Young to Daicos. I’m missing a couple of the cash cows so
TU – Use Trade Boost to fix up some of my rookies.
TD – Just use the 2 trades.
Doing Bruhn, Jones > Ziebell, Mckenna already
For 3rd trade
TU:
Chesser > Long (Hollands on field)
TD:
Chesser > Chandler through gulden dpp (chandler on field)
So would rather chandler but it means i have to field him and have hollands at M9. If i get long means hollands can stay at M8 and long is on the bench but i think chandler will have better cash gen
Already planning to bring in LDU and Naicos for Steele and Liam Jones.
Is it also worth using a boost to bring in Chandler for Ratugolea (current F7/R3 swing)
TU: Do it
TD: Save the boost and trade
Cummings
TU: Hold
TD: Trade
Should we be worried about ziebells scoring if hall comes back? Hall just posted a 120 in the vfl this weekend, could be up for selection. Is it something we should consider when picking ziebell this week or in future?
TU – yes could hurt his scoring
TD – nope he will keep doing his thing
Hi all,
I need to trade Gawn, Callaghan is my weak point in the kids and really want to get N Daicos
What are peoples thoughts on this
TU: Ridley -> Daicos
Callaghan -> Setterfield
Gawn -> Witts
TD: Docherty -> Daicos
Callaghan -> LDU
Gawn -> D. Cameron
Am I the only one who is looking to use two boosts in the first two rounds? Haha.
Stewart & Steele are forced unavoidable injury trades (2) plus Rookie Corrections and underperforners like Macrae (635k) with 85 pts, 9 CBAs….
TU: Trade Macrae to LDU/Gulden type, bank some cash. (6 trades used in first two rounds haha!)
TD: Just keep Macrae for now, hope his CBAs drastically improve. (5 trades in first two rounds haha!)
Hello The Joker, need to take your hand of the trade button. Its only rd3
Darcy getting the chop, got 2 choices.
TU
Darcy > D.Cameron
Callaghan > Setterfield
TD
Darcy > English
Chesser > N.Long
Which one makes more sense and will make me more cash?
TU: Esava to Chandler (F7)
TD: L.Jones to McKenna (D4)
Jones got 70 points???
Thinking 2 corrections in Bruhn+Laurie > Setterfield+Chandler.
Do I boost and do a 3rd in Hopper>Zeibell?
TU: Yay
TD: Nay
Corrective trade time:
Trade #2 is Bruhn to Ziegull. Not negotiable but need approx $50k.
Big question mark over S.Darcy’s role. Rozee not bad but underwhelming. Ratugolea underwhelming.
Three options:
TU Darcy to Cameron (ruc), keep Rozee
TD Rozee to Cameron (fwd), keep Darcy
Or see below for Ratugolea to Chandler or long
TU Ratugolea to rookie, keep Darcy/Rozee, miss out on Cameron
TD keep Ratugolea, miss Long/Chandler
Thanks coaches. Hope I didn’t make that too complicated!
Final option:
TU use Boost and do all three corrective trades
TD save all 5 boosts
Rozee looked pretty good in a poor port performance. Prefer to keep your premos if u can and RAT may keep his position but will be a slow burn with these scores. RAT to chandler best choice in my opinion
Thanks Finn – option 4 😉
TU: Setterfield
TD: Ziebell
advice needed
tu: Doc Bruhn Callaghan -> Daicos Gulden Chandler
td: Bruhn Callaghan Chesser -> Setterfield Phillipou Chandler
although trading doc could backfire think its justified by the Bruhn to Gulden upgrade
I have 88k ITB
Getting rid of:
Bruhn, Fyfe and Hopper to get Daicos, Setterfield and Sheezal and wouldn’t you know it, I’m 6k short! So patience has to prevail.
This week
Out Bruhn, Fyfe
In Setterfield,Sheezal
Leaves me with 164.k ITB
Next week
Out Hopper, and one of Constable, Wilmot , Uwland
In Daicos and possibly Caminiti.
TU. Good plan
TD Have a rethink
TU:
Callaghan- worpel
Chesser – chandler
Darcy – Cameron
TD:
Ridley – daicos
Chesser – chandler
Darcy – Cameron
Rate daicos as a must but feel the Callaghan too worpel move is crucial especially after callaghan has hurt his shoulder.. still love your thoughts though.
3rd option is
TU/TD:
Callaghan – worpel
Darcy – Cameron
Ridley – daicos
Just means I miss chesser – chandler.
All correctional but at the same time feel a bit sideways.. worpel will be another trade down the track and banking on Cameron being a keeper at R2 or F6/7.
Used my first boost. 2x corrections that free up money for a big upgrade.
Macrae > LDU
Darcy > Cameron
Chesser > Daicos
TU: Good shit
TD: Shit shit
Tu Darcy to D Cam and Chesser to Setters
Td Darcy to English Trac to LDU
Happy to burn through trades prior to price rise with the intention of sitting on my hands for a couple weeks and cash generate.
Ridley -> Naicos
Chesser -> Chandler
McVee -> McKenna
Leaves me $100k in the bank.
I could go to Ziebell / Bowes but don’t like the hawks matchup for Ziebell & get another week to watch bowes and upgrade then anyway before price rise.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Jack Buckly-gws.
Any info, will he hols his spot?
TU:
Darcy to Cameron
Steele to LDU
Ratugolea to Setters/Ziebell

TU Worpel
TD Setterfield
Hi,
TU – Trade Steele, S Darcy, Chesser for
N. Daicos, English, Chandler
TD – Trade Steele, S Darcy, Pedlar for
N. Daicos, D Cameron, Ziebell
Thank you.
Baker > N. Long
Chesser > Mckenna
Thoughts?
Chesser > Chandler
Flanders > Setterfield
Team structure is looking very solid, looking at making a correctional rookie trade;
Ratugolea > Chandler
However, is ziebell a must trade in this week?
What if it requires you to use 2 trades to get him in? This will activate trade boost to get him in as I am already making another trade for chandler..
Tu; Use the boost & get ziebell
Td; Hold off & save the trades
Didn’t pull the trigger on Fyfe and Jones to Daicos and Chandler last week so looking to swing it this week except dragging in either Setterfield or Ziebell into my side as well.
This is what it looks like right now, with a little extra cash to afford Chandler if I go with Setterfield.
Fyfe, L Jones & W Phillips TO Setterfield, Daicos & K Chandler
OR
Fyfe, L Jones & W Phillips TO Ziebell, Daicos & N Long
T/U: Option 1
T/D: Option 2
TU: Nick Daicos
TD: Luke Ryan
Doch- Daicos (I have Dawson and Ridley so covered down back)
Chesser- Chandler
Callaghan – Setterfield
Have Rat will see how he goes this week.
Cancel that!!
Callaghan – Setters
Esava – Chandler
Ridley – Daicos
Doch to Daicos is unnecessary. Rest of it looks good
TU – Chesser + Phillipou > McKenna + Chandler
TD –
Already set on Young to Daicos, and thinking I want to get McKenna and Chandler this week.
Other cows up for consideration are combinations of
Wilmont
Cowan
Mackenzie
Davey Jr
Greene
Long
If you have Phillipou then keep him! He will score points and make money.
Greene is probably the most dispensable of that group but I’m not sure any absolutely have to go for Chandler. Just don’t think it’ll be completely worth a trade but Chesser to McKenna is a great move
Out S Darcy , C Rozee, F Callaghan (if injured) or Greene
In D Cameron , LD Uniacke, Sheezle
Substituting Coniglio into forward line
TU Go for it
TD Forget about LD Uniacke and keep Rozee
TU: Neale > LDU
Macrae > Setterfield
Chesser > Daicos
TD: Macrae > LDU
Chesser > Setterfield
Bruhn > Chandler
With bulldogs losing and treloar likely out does this change macrae trade?
I’ve got Macrae and I’m holding him with the hope that Bevo realises something needs to change for them to start winning again. I’d also keep Neale but I seem a lot more cautious at the moment than most of this site
Which rookie should be first on the chopping block?
TU: Davey
TD: Baker
Comment: Greene
Greene
All 3 are cash cows and all 3 will make money. Wait until they make around around $130k or so or it is a waste of a trade.
Yeah, I second this. No reason to get rid of any of them unless it’s for Sheezel
I know his money is going to tank but is Sean Darcy a trade? Takes on West coast with Nic Nat not playing so “should” towel up the substitute rucks they have? Or is he under an injury cloud?
TU Darcy to bounce back with a 110+
TD kick that bum to the curb
Freo will come to their senses and return him to #1 ruck and the Eagles are a sensational ruck opponent. We made Flynn look like Dean Cox for four quarters yesterday.
All that said, trading him to Tingles is a huge net on OA points as he’s R1 when in full flight and dropping him down to D. Cameron and then parlaying that 100k into something lit is banging.
Think those propositions are better than just holding him for one potential good score. The spectre of Jackson stealing his ruck economy will loom over him for the rest of the season.
Thanks GD
This year has me scrambling. Flanders, Bruhn, Darcy….just a muppet factory I seem to have created. Plenty of time to bounce back but trades are burning fast! Hope you are fairing better than me!
is T.Cole (BE -27) -> McKenna (BE -76) worth it? I think both have good JS?
tu – good trade
td – bad trade
No other way you can get McKenna in?
Cole is doing exactly as expected and is gonna make 40 grand just by showing up this week.
TU
OUT STEELE BRUNH DARCY

Chesser > K Chandler (via DPP)
TU or TD?
Ridley -> Daicos
Jelly -> LDU (banking on a slow return from concussion and poor injury history)
Chesser -> Chandler
Yep, excellent.
thanks Gunboat.
Would you prioritise
darcy -> cameron
or still prefer
Jelly -> LDU
Which way do I go?
T/U – Macrae > Pendlebury
Callaghan > Setterfield

T/D Macrae > LDU

TU: Darcy -> Cameron
TD: Jelly -> LDU

TU: Macrae to LDU
TD: Macrae to Setterfield
Cheers.
TU: Doch to daicos
TD: Jones to mckenna
I don’t get that Jones scored 70 do you not have anyone else?
Which one do I get in this week, with the other to be traded in next week. Don’t have the trades for both this week.
TU: Daicos
TD: LDU
TU: Chandler
TD: Long
TU:
Madden -> Chandler (RAT dpp)
Ed Richards -> Setterfield (Chesser dpp, puts Wilmont on the field)
leaves 125k
TD:
Madden -> Chandler
Ed Richards -> Long (Chesser dpp, puts Wilmont on the field)
Callaghan -> LDU
leaves 43k but uses a boost
Anyone else you can trade instead of Madden? He’s basement price and is so useful as a loophole so it’s not like you picked him expecting playing time?
Looking to bring in zeibell but the only way I can afford is by downgrading one of my premiums to free up funds.. is it worth it?
Rozee > Gulden;
This allows me to afford Zeibell
And no I can’t downgrade any other rookies as it won’t be enough $$
Already going ratugolea > chandler btw.
Tu or Td
If you’re really pro Ziebell, downgrading Ratugolea to Caminiti might get you the cash and he’s got rock solid job security for a bit
Someone tell me this is crazy…
Macrae —> Setterfield
Darcy —> Witts
Chesser —> Mckenna
Chodgen doesn’t trade premos
Possible boost trade:
Swap gulden to FWD & JHF to Mid. Trade JHF to Setterfield.
TU: yes, use the boost trade
TD: no, save the boost trade
Will JHF outscore Will Setters this season?
Tu: yes
Td: no
Got 5 on the chopping block, can’t decide who goes…..
Gawn – definitely, probably to Cameron
Chesser – looks like he’s about to be dropped but not much cash back in the pot
Fyfe – adds cash to the pot, but won’t lose money for another round, and might even miss another
Flanders – might make a bit of money maybe keep an extra week?
Rat – same as Flanders but touch and go
My current thoughts of which 3 go this week are:
TU: Gawn, Flanders, Fyfe
TD: Gawn, Flanders, Rat
Comment: Another option
This will then lead into the decision making of who to get – one for another day
Thanks team!!
Time to Boost.
I should of done it last week, so Bruhn to Ziebell is set. (I just did Flanders to Sheezel. )
Setterfield looks like a must get, so he comes in for Callahan as I’m a little worried about those shoulders.
I need some funds.. so L. Jones (BE 48 ) comes out for Chandler (BE -94 ) via Dpp Magic.
Leaves me with $57K to deal with Darcy ( and maybe get Daicos ) next week.
To Re-cap
l.Jones – Chandler
Callaghan – Setterfield
Bruhn – Ziebell
Good trades ?
Ridley – Daicos
Fyfe – Ziebell
Chesser – Chandler
TU/TD
Callaghan
TU: Hold
TD: Trade
TU: Worpel +40k
TD: Setterfield
Fresh TT up.
Hi gang
Needing some advise from the community
I’m doing
Steele – LDU
Bruhn – Setters
Who should my third trade be ?
Ridley – Daicos thumbs up
Darcy – Cameron thumbs down
Bailey Dale (POD that has not worked)
to N.Daicos
J.Steele (injured) to LDU
E.Ratugolea to ????
T/U
Have all good rookies apart from Chandler bring him in
Or
T/D
Setterfield or Ziebell
OK Looking at trading Darcy, Ridley, Chesser (mid bench) for:
TU: English, Daicos, Long (mid bench)
