  1. Really need to upgrade my last fwd spot. Had Rankine and Fisher, but had to trade them out and have been running Sexton as my F6.
    TU Moore for no trades left
    TD Hold fire and keep my last 2 trades or look at someone like Curnow, Harry or Keays for 1 trade

    1. TU Get a fwd in for the $500000 mark or less for last premo = 1 trade left
      TD Run Sexton/Dowling and keep 2 trades until finals and lock to upgrade then

  2. I need to get rid of Oliver I can’t do it anymore, seems like he disappears for a half in every match.

    If I trade him out i’ll have 539.4k in the bank.
    I’m thinking upgrade to either
    TU: Steele
    TD: Ed Richards
    Unless there’s any better trades for that price? Thoughts please !! Thank you

    1. I bought him cheap too….but he’s scoring cheap also sadly.

      Maybe if you trade him, he will go big for me…..

  3. 2 trades left and Rowell is a thorn in my side. Should I swap him over to Curnow?

    TU: Yes, swap him while you can
    TD: No, hold your trades and keep rolling with the 60’s

    23
  4. OUT: Touk & Fisher
    IN: Keays & Young/Yeo

    Leaves me with 1 trade for the rest of the year but solves the Touk & Fisher issues

    TU: Worth it
    TD: Need those 3 trades for a rainy day…

  5. Last trades – $3k left after
    Out: W Dawson + M Rowell
    In: C Serong + L. Rawlinson
    Leaves Humphries D7, Rowling M9, Kreuger F7/R3.

  6. Hi I need some help to finish my team. I have 4 trades and 1 boost. $282ooo.
    This is my side.
    Backs
    Sneeze, ndaicos, j.clark, l.ryan, Holmes, Houston, schoenmaker, e.phillips
    Mids
    Neale, born, cripps, rozee, green, seeing, Steele, yeo, Humphries, Campbell, rawlinson
    Rucks
    English, Grundy, Krueger
    Forwards
    Flanders, Heaney, Zorro, Moore, Jackson, Dowling, manuagh, mOniz w.
    I’m sitting 2nd in my work place league. So a lot of bragging rights on the line.

      1. Team looks good. If you can’t finish worse than 2nd, I’d hold for Rankine in a couple of weeks. You’ll then have 2-3 trades left to cover the last couple of weeks of finals.

  7. I have 2 trades left.

    Looks like Fisher has lost his role at the club to McKercher.
    So I am thinking I need to upgrade my D6 whilst he still has value otherwise I will end up with a Zac Dawson type.

    Thumbs up – Stewart
    Thumbs down – Richard’s

    I am ranked 2200 odd but going the wrong way.

    23

  8. Was holding Fisher and Oliver in the hope one or both would come good but alas, it seems not. Can only trade one though at this stage. Who to trade first?

    TU Oliver
    TD Fisher

    4

    25
  9. I need to trade out Fisher and I can trade to any mid (swing Caldwell back up front)

    Current mid is: Bont, Butters, Green, Serong, LDU, Rozee, Walsh.

    I am thinking Cripps for the ride home. TU or TD?

    18

    1. Personally, if you can afford anyone, I would go Lachie Neale over Cripps

      Although Cripps has been outstanding over the last 4 or 5 weeks

      6

      3
      1. My reasoning for Cripps over Neale is because Neale faces possibly Windhager in 2 weeks and then Bedford in 3, both during SC finals. I’d only have to worry about Cripps facing either in Rd24

        5

        0
        1. I actually like the Cripps pick over NEale just to be a bit different and save some cash but I would point out that Windhager is still out for 3 weeks so unlikely to be back in time to tag Neale while Cripps should cop him in round 24

          4

          2
        2. Yep – understand where you are coming from

          Just be aware that Windhager will more than likely still be out injured for Round 21 – as did a hammie last week, and was listed as being “4 weeks away” on the St Kilda injury list last week

          And Brisbane play Collingwood in round 23 & then Essendon in round 24 – which are both teams that don’t usually tag

          So Neale could definitely help you win the Preliminary & Grand Finals in supercoach

          Both selections should go well though – as they are both in very good form

  10. Does anyone know why Schoenmaker didn’t play for the St Kilda reserves team (Sandringham) on the weekend?

    He was listed as “Omitted” on the team sheets last week, but it looks like he didn’t play on the weekend

    Is there a (small) chance that Rossy Lyon just rested him for the weekends game, and therefore he might come straight back into the St Kilda senior side this week ?

    I would certainly like to have some defensive cover again – if Schoenmaker can get another game this weekend 🙂

  11. 6 trades left.

    TU – 1 trade, Fisher to Curnow

    TD – 2 trades, downgrade Kreuger, Fisher to Moore

    I like Curnow’s matchups over the next few weeks so leaning that way atm

    15

    12
  12. Got 1 trade left.
    T/U: use it to trade Dawson to Stewart
    T/D: save it and use Dowling as cover for the week

    1

    31
  13. 2 trades left

    T/U Miller and Fisher to Merrett and Baker (can be used to cover both D & F)

    T/D Save the trades, letting Fisher’s value fall while looping Dowling and Humphries to cover Miller.

    4

    12
      1. I could, but lack of cash means I’m looking at players worth $495k and below; so T Kelly, McCluggage, Durham, Keays, types. None of whom are massively inspiring.

        1

        0
  14. 2 trades left… ouch

    T/U upgrade Comben to Zorko, leaves me with 1 trade and 80k to upgrade either Dowling or Mannagh, bearing no injuries.

    T/D No trade, keep Comben and save my last 2 trades for finals with 171k in the bank

    2

    15
    1. Lots of T/D, respect. I think T/U.

      I need to win to make finals. If I bring in Zorko for Comben, I’ll have a full team of premo’s except Dowling and or Mannagh who I can loophole (my other benched forward will not play another game). In a few weeks I can use the 80k to upgrade either Dowling or Mannagh.

      T/U Trade Comben to Zorko and use 80k to upgrade either Dowling or Mannagh in 2 weeks.

      T/D No trade, keep Comben and save my last 2 trades if I make finals with 171k in the bank

  15. Finishing my side, do I use my last 2 trades to get rid of rowell for walsh and jhye clark for carroll, as I need to win this week to make my league finals. Or hold trades and hope rowell goes nuts!!

    tu: use remaining trades
    td: hold

    Or any other options?

    20

  16. Might be left field but has anyone had a look at Mason Wood as a FWD option? If you take out the game where he got injured and scored 8, he’s averaging 91 for the year. All of Saints remaining games are at Marvel so no travel.

    1. Want to TU Gawn because he has been and probably still is the most reliable
      Also I have had Xerri since the beginning so don’t want any more people jumping on (especially x Gawn owners)
      Just depends on your gut feeling

      2

  17. 4 trades left and still 2 away from full premo. Bring in Carroll this week to create the funds for upgrades over the next couple of weeks?
    I can’t justify trading Dowling or Evans for a premo yet as they have negative break evens

    6

    6
  18. Would you upgrade Curnow to Trealor and move Caldwell into your forwards? This would leave me with 0 trades remaining for the season.

    6

    18
  19. OUT – Kreuger and Fisher
    IN – Carroll and Caldwell

    Leaves me with $200k ITB and one trade left, which I’ll use to upgrade to my final premo when Dowling peaks

    10

    10
  20. Don’t have many options or cash

    Salem > A.McGrath?

    Yes or no? Can’t really afford anyone else

    Or any other suggestions would be elite

  21. Who to bring in for my last mid upgrade.
    Cannot afford Neale.
    Going for league win.
    Current mids are: Bont, Butters, Dunkley, Merrett, Green, Walsh, Steele.

    TU: Serong (most have him in their team)
    TD: Sinclair (tempting unique)

    Or comment. Also considering Treloar

    7

    16
  22. 5 trades, 250K itb, 21 premos
    Out: Kruger, Reville
    TU: Ryan and “Trew or other rookie”
    TD: 600K premo and”sub 100K/non playing rookie”
    Cheers

    12
  23. Dawson… Hold or Sell?
    5 Trades left and 100k itb, full premo(ish), Kerch D6, Jez Cameron F6

    T/U – Hold (keep as an M9 loop)
    T/D – Use one trade to a Treloar type or two and get Neale/Cripps

    6

    15
  24. TDK injury replacement!

    TU > Gawn (no.1 in the game when firing)
    TD > Xerri (fixture is great)

    Or any others?

    5

    9
  25. TDK injury replacement as well, but already have Xerri.

    TU > Gawn
    TD > English

  26. I’m finding it a bit depressing reading “trade talk” just before round 20, and thinking to myself “if only”….. Perhaps I’ll start planning Season 2025 instead!

  27. Advice please!! Not sure what to do …

    5 trades left (incl 1 boost ) and 15k

    Sheezel, Whitfield, Daicos, NWM , Dale, Martin ( Humphries, Reid)
    Bont, Serong, Butters, Gulden, Merrett, Green, Rozee, Dawson ( Clohesy, Freijah, Dowling)
    English, Grundy (Livingston)
    Heeney, Flanders, Zorko, Moore, Caldwell, Jackson ( Fisher , Dawson)

    Thinking that Dawson has to go and that Fisher is wasted as Dowling could be used instead?
    Any other thoughts would be great including what premium mid best to bring in as well as the following questions….

    T/U Freijah and Dawson out 102k rookie and premium in (hold Fisher) or
    T/D Fisher (before drops more in price) and Dawson out 102k rookie (Dowling fwd coverage) and Premium in ( leaves extra in bank for last 3 trades)?

    T/U

    16
  28. Also after this move wondering what strategy to take with 3 trades left and remaining money
    T/U Look at just upgrading(sideways) current best 22? or
    T/D Consider getting a 23rd premium (midfielder or defender) and swing a Martin or Daicos type?

    1. 3 trades left is plenty for your team. Hold them for injuries or to make sideways pod moves in last two weeks when its league finals and everyone in top 2k has no trades left.

      Can easily make up 300+ points in those weeks especially if carnage continues and potential that teams rest their key players

  29. The thing I am mulling with Dawson is that he has looked banged up for a while now and after a week off he might be refreshed and really hit form for SuperCoach finals. thinking of trading JHF instead because at least Dawson won’t drop in price this week. 7 trades and 1 boost left and are now playing to win league finals..

    TU: Trade JHF & Crisp
    TD: Trade Dawson & Crisp
    Or…… (See next post)

    11

      1. It would be expected that Dawson misses one week but he has to pass certain criteria and it is all based on individual symptoms and recovery.

        Just this week WCE’s announced that Liam Duggan would require another week before being considered to play after suffering concussion a fortnight ago.

        “Under the current protocol, all players suffering a concussion will miss at least one match (assuming standard fixturing) and sometimes they will miss more than one match depending on an individual’s recovery and other factors such as concussion history, etc. ”

        AFL guidelines.

        So, yes 12 days but not a guarantee.

        1

        0
  30. Or…. Use the boost and

    TU: Trade Dawson, JHF and Crisp to 2 premos and a spud with a view of trading in another premo for the first week of finals..

  31. Plenty of trades left, looking at moving on Warner as he’s been pretty inconsistent over the last 6 or so weeks.

    TU: Gulden
    TD: Merrett

    comment anyone else in that 500-600k range!

    Thanks all

  32. Been a busy week but the team looks almost gone.
    1 trade left and I have Nank and Kreuger in the ruck and will take a doughnut if Nank isn’t traded because I don’t have cover.

    There is also Fisher who is going to rot in my forward line they way he is playing.

    Best trade for Nankervis (Have English)
    TU Xerri
    TD Bring back Gawn after trading him for Nank
    Other suggestions?

    20

  33. Should I trade Gawn regardless of whether he is selected?
    TU Trade as he will perform well below his best
    TD Hold. He will quickly get back to his best despite the injury.

    1. Why would you trade Gawn after holding him for the last two weeks, when he is on the verge of playing this week?

      8

      1. Was able to cover with Jackson whilst dealing with other issues and he wasn’t losing cash whilst on the bench (but probably will this week with a BE of 171).

  34. Is coniglio a bad choice to have as a m9 to loop? Only have around 400k
    TU – good idea
    TD – look again

    I know he hasn’t been scoring the best but has had a hard run the last few games he’s played

  35. 4 trades left and 375k
    Still have Comben and Rowell.

    TU Sinclair and Keays
    TD Neale and Moore

    Any other suggestions?

  36. Hi guys
    My season is about done, so I’m using my last 2 trades this week. Thinking of bringing in Trelor (could be persuaded otherwise. Perhaphs Walsh). But I need a $118 900 mid rookie. Need ideas on my best option, ideally would be a playing rookie. Happy to take a punt on a one gamer
    Thoughts such appreciated

  37. With him Salem out till round 23/24 and Fisher missing with a foot injury again, is it worth using my last trade to get rid of one of them? I’ve got cover so I’m still at 22 with both on the bench

    TU: yes
    TD: no

    Comment: which one goes

  38. Forced to take a doughnut this week now Fisher and my cover Richards is out. Then Nank and Kreuger on top of that.

    TD: Fisher

  40. If you have 1 bench cover on each lines than should I just trade in$100k rooks for cash or still look to trade in a playing rook ?

    Also full prem and looking to upgrade, should I trade out

    TU: Dawson
    TD: Rowell.

  41. Hey team,

    Would love to hear your thoughts. I have four trades left and about 200k ITB. I am definitely trading Rowell to Serong.

    Should I also trade mckercher to someone like Sinclair, or should I hold seeing as he’ll be back next week?

    Love to hear your thoughts!

    3

    1
      1. I think it depends on whether you are playing for overall or league GF win

        If just want to win SC Grand Final, then I would hold McKercher for this week – as he is just out with general soreness, and can score well

        Which leaves you with 3 x trades for the SC finals

        If playing for overall, then do the second trade – and both Sinclair & Neale are good options (and in good form)

        2

  42. No trades last week,
    DEF: Sheezel, Daicos, Ryan, NWM, Houston, W.Dawson (L.Evans, Humphries)
    MID: Bont, Butters, LDU, Gulden, Rozee, Green , Serong, Walsh (Mannagh, Freijah , K.Brown)
    RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Kreuger)
    FWDS: Flanders, Caldwell, Heeney, Zorko, Moore, Fisher (Dowling, Livingstone)
    $72,200 ITB, 4 trades left, 1 boost left.

    TU – Make some trades (suggestions would be greatly appreciated)
    TD – Keep powder dry for now and keep using rookies to loop
