All about league finals. Locked into the top 4, 7 trades left, $200k in the bank, and 1 boost remaining. Forward line and rucks (thanks to Xerri & TDK) are cooked…
Thumbs Up (TU) – Throw it all at Grundy. 5 trades.
Week 1 – 3 outs: Xerri, JHF, TDK
Week 2 – 2 outs: Dewar and McCarty
Ins:
Week1 Grundy, Whitfield, Kennedy
Week 2 $400–500k forward & Rookie
Thumbs Down (TD) – Save boost, 3 trades over two weeks.
Outs: Xerri, JHF, Dewar
Ins: Whitfield (via flex), Kennedy or Rankine, Jackson (FWD)
And maybe upgrade TDK in finals if I survive long enough..
3 trades left with $167k, full premo, sitting 12k rank
Currently looping all lines in case of dud early game scores and have T McCarthy as cover
Is it worth brining in another premo (Whitfield/J Cameron) as 24th to continue to loop the above?
Or better off upgrading McKercher (D6/M8)/English (R2)/Daniel & Darcy (F6)/Mills (FLX) types to a must have premo (Eg NWM, Brayshaw, Grundy, M Kennedy)?
I’m lucky to have decent cover for injury everywhere but I’m losing points by having cash on the bench not scoring
Will have 3 trades left and 95k after this week if I go TDK-Grundy (Mccarthy as M8 for now). I’m however, tossing up between that upgrade or final mid spot which would send McCarthy to flex.
Tu: Is it Grundy? Its Grundyyyyy
TD: Final mid spot send mccarthy to flex
6 trades left. Looking at trading in Hotton or Heath to make money (eg upgrade Bolton). Would be bench cover in forwards.
Concern re JS for Heath vs extra cash to upgrade. Also wondering if keep Bolton this week as playing WCE?
TU Hotton
TD Heath
I have $576k to bring in any player into flex position.
I’m currently thinking Darcy Cameron, but i’m not too sure.
Which player has the best run home that i can bring in for that value???
Suggestions pls help !!!!!!
Who would you think is the better cheap trade in this week and for finals…
TU- Mannagh (easy run and most games at home)
TD Flanders (more mid time without Miller?)
Have Freijah who I know is playing but has dropped right off. Two trades left not much money.
BE of 185 so soon won’t be able to trade him to anyone decent.
This week can trade to Cripps/Kennedy or even Flanders.
TU Yes
TD No
Ok folks, playing for leagues here and need a win this week to perhaps sneak into finals in my main pay league. $86,600 in bank with 3 trades left. Zero boosts. Team as follows:
T/U – Simpkin to Newcombe in one trade. Newk should be released now that Day is playing, and it saves me a trade.
T/D – Simpkin and Kako to Rowell and $99K non-playing DPP MId/Def rookie so I can have an extra loop option.
Comment – other
470pts behind mate in end-of-season cash bet. He has English vs my TDK. He doesn’t have Grundy. Worth using 3 of my 4 trades to get Grundy?
TU: Do it, chase glory and hope everyone stays healthy for the rest of the season
TD: Pray TDK bounces back and save the trades as carnage season’s just warming up
I don’t have Brayshaw or Serong or NAS, no cash and 3 trades left.
I could trade out Rory laird or Greg Hewett and bring in Serong in 1 trade?
Or I could burn 2 trades to downgrade a bench rookie and bring in someone more expensive.
I feel like my team is decent but could be a bit better
TU go for Serong (who goes out?)
TD burn 2 trades and go for Nas or a Rowell or someone?
Any comments welcome, could just be the itch to tinker and feel the need to do something every week…
7 trades left at start of week and $100k in bank. Plans this week are:
Rowston to Bazzo
Hugh Marshall to Hotton
Archer May to Jack Sinclair
That would leave just turning Dan Curtin to Tom Green next week, plus a downgrade to fund it. It would have me at full premo including flex, with Jack McCarthy still in my side to cover both defence and mids on bench. Leaves just two trades for finals, but to me seems the best way to go. Thoughts?
Very tempted to go Cerra or Mills to Whitfield but with 2 trades left best to hold off?
Tu: Yes
Td: No, go for it
Mills got 115 2 trades for five weeks is a stretch as it is
Stunned by the 30-3 vote line. For Whitfield?
Nah. I’ve had him from the start. Lost a lot of pep.
Not worth a trade imo.
I think the thumbs up is for “best to hold off” haha interesting question though!
I think it’s still too early for luxury trades unless you have 5+ in the bank.
You’ve miss read the question
Currently have 7 trades left.
Johnson TDK> Mackinlay English
TU: Good Trades
TD: Bad Trades
TU: TDK> Tingles (TMac FLX)
TD: Clarke > Whitfield (TMac 24th) – hold TDK
What’s a trade?
Kako for Hotton carry 150k into league finals for nice upgrade on jack martin
Shanahan and Clarke out, Flanders and Heath in with $100 to spare. And that’s me done for the year as far as trades go, definitely one to forget.
Time to start planning for my victorious 2026 campaign!
Welcome to the No trades Left club Chillo
Only have 450k to spend:
T/u – Wait a week to bring in Matt Kennedy or LDU
T/d – Bring in one of Sam Darcy, Jeremy Cameron, Jordan Ridley, Jordon Sweet, James Sicily, Sam Flanders. (Can’t decide which one haha)
Whatever you do, don’t bring in LDU.
Been a nightmare.
Hahaha alright thanks mate! Was leaning Kennedy if I do decide to hold for the week.
But which of the players in the thumbs down do you like the most if you don’t mind me asking!
TU: Petracca
TD: Kennedy
Comment: Warner
For last FWD spot
Warner
All about league finals. Locked into the top 4, 7 trades left, $200k in the bank, and 1 boost remaining. Forward line and rucks (thanks to Xerri & TDK) are cooked…
Thumbs Up (TU) – Throw it all at Grundy. 5 trades.
Week 1 – 3 outs: Xerri, JHF, TDK
Week 2 – 2 outs: Dewar and McCarty
Ins:
Week1 Grundy, Whitfield, Kennedy
Week 2 $400–500k forward & Rookie
Thumbs Down (TD) – Save boost, 3 trades over two weeks.
Outs: Xerri, JHF, Dewar
Ins: Whitfield (via flex), Kennedy or Rankine, Jackson (FWD)
And maybe upgrade TDK in finals if I survive long enough..
TU – Trade Tdk to Sean Dacry/Jordon Sweet
TD – Hold last trade for injury
TU: Meek
TD: English
3 trades left with $167k, full premo, sitting 12k rank
Currently looping all lines in case of dud early game scores and have T McCarthy as cover
Is it worth brining in another premo (Whitfield/J Cameron) as 24th to continue to loop the above?
Or better off upgrading McKercher (D6/M8)/English (R2)/Daniel & Darcy (F6)/Mills (FLX) types to a must have premo (Eg NWM, Brayshaw, Grundy, M Kennedy)?
I’m lucky to have decent cover for injury everywhere but I’m losing points by having cash on the bench not scoring
Was planning on keeping TDK but he’s getting on my nerves. Will still have 3 trades left after these
TU – Grundy + McCarthy/Clay Hall as 23rd
TD – Anderson/Rowell + TDK as 23rd
TU – Anderson
TD – Rowell
Will have 3 trades left and 95k after this week if I go TDK-Grundy (Mccarthy as M8 for now). I’m however, tossing up between that upgrade or final mid spot which would send McCarthy to flex.
Tu: Is it Grundy? Its Grundyyyyy
TD: Final mid spot send mccarthy to flex
Get Grundyyy! If the blues keep Pitto in, Grundy is going to score 70+ more than TDK most weeks and is always a VC/C option.
Last trade on Xerri to Luke Jackson?
T/u – Yep
T/d – Hold
6 trades left. Looking at trading in Hotton or Heath to make money (eg upgrade Bolton). Would be bench cover in forwards.
Concern re JS for Heath vs extra cash to upgrade. Also wondering if keep Bolton this week as playing WCE?
TU Hotton
TD Heath
Comment re trade / keep Bolton for this week.
Keep or trade Bolton this week; depends on Hotton v Heath trade eg Holmes v Green. Would leave 3 trades if trade Bolton.
TU Keep
TD Trade
Keep – Weagles this week.
Rozee out again trade or hold for RD19
If he’s out again this week I’m gonna use my last trade switching him to NWM
What’s in your pipe, Waldorf?
He’s on track to play this week – Round 20.
Gunboat there should have a IF at the beginning of the post.
7 Trades $99k ITB. Would appreciate any thoughts or better suggestions.
Current team:
NAS Rozee Clark Sheezel McKercher Dale (Clarke Hayes)
Bont Daicos Butters Green Dawson Brayshaw Ed Richards Sinclair
Gawn TDK (West)
Baz Macrae Rankine Warner Daniel Tracc (May Gray)
McCarthy
Should I:
TU: Johnson Clarke > McKinlay (DPP) Whitfield. Mccarthy would become 24th and would loop with Kercher. TDK would still be a problem.
TD: Johnson TDK > McKinlay Tim English (TMac would be flex)
Best sub 410k option:
T/u – Jordon Sweet
T/d – Sam Flanders
Cats run home: (2 at Cattery)
North, Port, Bombers, Sydney, Tigers
Dogs run home: (4 at Marvel)
Bombers, Giants, Dees, West Coast, Freo
T/u – Jezza Cameron
T/d – Sam Darcy
Better cheap D6?
T/u – Jordan Ridley
T/d – James Sicily
3 trades, $2.2K left.
Current predicament: TDK as R2, Bolton as Flex and McCarthy as D6
Do I entertain TDK > Sweet
TU: Yes
TD: Save it, no
4 Trades left.
Tmac in flex – premo on the other lines (Mills and TDK probably only line balls)
Need a win this week to lock in finals (even though I’m top scorer in my league)
Do I go TDK + Zjohnson to English + rook and leave myself with two trades in a tough finals, or do I risk saving them for no reason
TU: YES TRADE
TD: NO SAVE
Don’t have the cash for Grundy without going 3 trades
Marshall to Jackson for luxury purposes (will leave 2 trades left)?
Upgrading Kako, who is best to trade in.
TU – Butters
TD – Heeney
Bigger priority to upgrade first (remaining one would be final upgrade):
TU – Cerra
TD – McCarthy
What to do with TDK in my flex.
I still need 1 premo in mid
I have 4 trades left.
TU: TRADE
TD: Just keep & hope he comes good.
Best replacement for JHF out of these two, cash not an issue:
TU – Gryan Miers
TD Jeremy Cameron
Comment anyone else (except B Smith, Rankine, Warner, Daniel, Darcy)
I have $576k to bring in any player into flex position.
I’m currently thinking Darcy Cameron, but i’m not too sure.
Which player has the best run home that i can bring in for that value???
Suggestions pls help !!!!!!
McCluggage
Yeah. Cluggers.
TU – Rankine & Jepson
TD – Matt Kennedy & Taj Hotton (for fwd bench cover)
Who to trade JHF to can afford anyone
TU Kennedy
TD Macrae
A few desperate trades Rozee, M Hall out NWM and Whitfield in, what could go wrong. Two trades left for injuries
Hi SuperCoachs
Need your help with this week’s trades. I have 4 trades left
TU in Gawn and Kennedy, out JHF and xerri
TD in Sweet and Kennedy, out JHF and TDK. ( would mean holding xerri for remainder of his ban)
In either scenario I would be able to field 23 players, and have 2 trades left
Which is the better option in your opinion
Currently TMac is in flex.
TMac TDK > Kinlay Grundy
Clarke would then become flex. Next week Clarke and Johnson 1 up 1 down.
TU Yes do it, TDK needs to go
TD No don’t
Still have 7 trades. Is Kerch > Serong worth a trade?
TU Yes
TD No
Can you trade to loop him somehow?
From here who would you rather own?
TU Serong
TD Holmes
Geelong have a lurid fixture. Don’t play another top eight team. Holmes, provided he converts.
Who would you think is the better cheap trade in this week and for finals…
TU- Mannagh (easy run and most games at home)
TD Flanders (more mid time without Miller?)
Cheers
Thanks. surprised, though thanks
Which pair averages more from here?
TU Grundy + Tylar Young
TD TDK + McKercher
For Flex position:
TU: Darcy Cameron
TD: Max Holmes
Have Freijah who I know is playing but has dropped right off. Two trades left not much money.
BE of 185 so soon won’t be able to trade him to anyone decent.
This week can trade to Cripps/Kennedy or even Flanders.
TU Yes
TD No
Went Xerri, JHF & Pedlar to Grundy, Brayshaw & Mentha last week.

Any help, advice, or feedback would be appreciated!
Could anyone help me out with the break evens of Gulden, Tom Green and Jack Sinclair? Thank you.
Gulden 156
Green 105
Sinclair 66
Thank you, Sir

Mid – Bont, Naicos, Anderson, Dawson, Rozee, Dunkley, Serong, McCarthy (Hall, Kako, Liddy)
R – Gawn, Jackson (Boyd)

Cheers
Who’s gonna score more rest of season
TU – Tom Mccarthy
TD – Sam Flanders
2 trades left, coming up against 1st ranked in leagues this week
– JHF injured, TDK and Roberts underpeforming
TU: JHF –> Kennedy
TD: HOLD for injuries
Comment: McCarthy –> Jepson + Upgrade one of DEF, RUC or FWD to elite player
470pts behind mate in end-of-season cash bet. He has English vs my TDK. He doesn’t have Grundy. Worth using 3 of my 4 trades to get Grundy?
TU: Do it, chase glory and hope everyone stays healthy for the rest of the season
TD: Pray TDK bounces back and save the trades as carnage season’s just warming up
Depends on your appetite for risk, Scotty, but as it stands rn English & 470 points is going to murder TDK.
Tingles with a solo gig and good fixture. TDK battered, chopping w Pittonet and Blues season is over.
I voted TU.
Thanks GD, good points. Grundy it is – fortune favours the brave!
T/u – Wait a week for Matt Kennedy
T/d – Darcy
Cheap D6?
T/u – Ridley
T/d – Flanders
I don’t have Brayshaw or Serong or NAS, no cash and 3 trades left.
I could trade out Rory laird or Greg Hewett and bring in Serong in 1 trade?
Or I could burn 2 trades to downgrade a bench rookie and bring in someone more expensive.
I feel like my team is decent but could be a bit better
TU go for Serong (who goes out?)
TD burn 2 trades and go for Nas or a Rowell or someone?
Any comments welcome, could just be the itch to tinker and feel the need to do something every week…
Thank you kindly for the responses!
Who would be the choice to get replaced?
DEF: Holmes, Zorko, Sheezel, Whitfield, Sinclair, McCarthy
MID: W.Ashcroft, Laird, Rozzee, Butters, Bont, Naicos, Hewett (already played)
Cheers all
TU Johnson Kerch > Kinlay Grundy (TMac Flex)
TD TMac TDK > Kinlay Grundy (Clarke flex)
Johnson McCarthy > Serong McKinlay
TU Good Trades
Bad Trades
7 trades left at start of week and $100k in bank. Plans this week are:
Rowston to Bazzo
Hugh Marshall to Hotton
Archer May to Jack Sinclair

May Kerch > $99k rookie Grundy
TU/TD
Who is the better choice for the Flex position as opposed to the bench?
1. McKercher, or
2. McCarthy.
