I realise that Merrett was tagged by Perryman in a losing side, but with Parish back Merrett certainly attracts more attention and hasn’t got a great track record at breaking said tag. Last two games against Port and Richmond should be a straight midfield battle? Worth a trade out to Parish or Petracca? Playing for rank with two trades left.
Teams looking good thankfully! Only other move I’ve been contemplating is Darcy to Gawn with Darcy severely flagging the last few weeks. Went back from 22 to 31 overall atm so trying hard to push where I can in the last 2 weeks
If Cripps plays, I will be going Sean Darcy to Maxxy
Thought Darcy got seriously underscored on the weekend, but he needs to take more marks (he is getting his hands to quite a few marking contests but dropping them), and he might continue his ordinary scores against WCE & Nic Nat this week?
Yeah great call Brett! GD has a pretty hot take on Darcy and I tend to agree with both of you. Could definitely be one to look at moving this week as he has pretty tough matchups in Naitanui and Preuss. TyCA might be right above in that he’s more of a pressing issue than Darcy!
Cripps offered 2 weeks by the MRO. Probably appeals? Hard to see how he can wriggle out of the classification of the hit being careless, high contact and high impact though.
Happy to get a poll up on replacements but does seem pretty intuitive?
Last Trade. Who to Trade for Cripps. My next two opponents: both have Sinclair. One has Petracca. I still have Crisp who is a worry with not much coverage in Def whilst I have Duncan as a spare in mid/fwd.
So Cripps to:
TU: Petracca
TD: Sinclair (play safe as a mid and cover def next week as well in case of any outs).
Was a real shame I cant get to Laird. Would of loved him as a replacement.
So Cripps verdict upheld and 2 week holiday means trade if people still have him.
Wish I could afford Laird…. Hmm
TU- safety of Petracca
TD- better draw & uniqueness of parish
I love Sinclair (saints fan) but reckon he’ll almost definitely get tagged in round 23 so Hall has every chance to outscore him anyway and Laird is just so good right now that I would do whatever it takes to get him.
Will probably “go bigger” against his next two struggling opponents (GWS & Hawthorn) so I am not trading him out of my side, but not sure I would bring him into my side at the moment
Will be a lot of coaches putting the VC / CAPT on Laird this week versus Nth Melbourne 🙂
TU Crisp
TD Brodie
Already trading Short to K.Dawson to find the funds to get in the Bont, not sold on him at top dollar but more of a strategic trade after looking at my P.F and G.F opponents in my cash league, he’s the only one capable of going big and taking the win away from me, having said that I have to get through to the G.F first but with 4 trades remaining it’s all or nothing.
Thanks in advance.
Will Vlastuin play is the big question ?? Bench cover isn’t great and 1 trade remaining and playing for league win.
Tu- Just Pick Dawson
Td – Wait, and if Vlastuin doesn’t play, options become limited to picking either Houston, Ryan or Redman.
I don’t see any reason to trade either Daicos or Walker out this week. I’d keep the trade for an injury or suspension next week. Tex is playing North and Daicos has just as good a ceiling and average as Redman.
Season well and truly done and dusted. Last trade to use on Preuss with $435k to spend.
TU – J. De Goey
TD – J. Stephenson
Comment – Another option like Sidebottom or maybe some forwards in hopes of a couple bags to finish like Buddy, Lynch or Walker (or anyone else you like). Cheers.
T/U – Darcy to Marshall saving an emergency trade for next week.
T/D – Darcy and S Butler to Gawn and J Serong. Burns both trades but it allows me to pay for Gawn.
Bench depth is D’Ambrosio, Owens, Carmichael, M Rioli of the guys who are possibly playing.
Tossing up between these trades for the preliminary final this week:
T/U Upgrade Hewett (not playing this week) to Dawson (versus North Melb @ Adelaide Oval)
With this option, I already have 6 x “premium” defenders on the field that include Short & Pendles & Crisp, so would bench either Pendles or Crisp if I bring in Dawson.
So am basically upgrading from Pendles or Crisp (on my field) to Dawson with this option
T/D Sean Darcy (versus WCE @ Optus) to Maxxy Gawn (versus Carl @ MCG)
Should I use last two trades to enable Darcy Cameron to Max Gawn or straight swap Cameron to Nankervis saving one trade or hold both trades.
t/u Get in Gawn
t/d Save a trade
comment stick with Cameron
Best Cripps replacements, with it looking like he’ll be suspended. I’m thinking of going to Parish.
Laird, Oliver or Neale would be the obvious ones.
Brodie done and dusted?
TU: Yep get him out
TD: Hold, he’ll come good
Hold him, he got Eagles this week
Season is over Stewart being tagged, Cameron low score and now Cripps probably will be out.
Last trade left just for the league
TU: Cripps to Parish
TD: Cripps to Liba
taranto to himmelberg, rozee, cogs or marshall
Scary part is Cripps is $10k more expensive than Macrae- who’d have thought?
Hahahaha so true, Macrae M8 who would have thought!
Not sure he’s a top 8 mid any more
If Cripps out…
TU- Petracca
TD- Parish
Thanks all
final mid spot
TU Brayshaw
TD Parish
Darcy worth keeping or go witts or anyone..?
He’ll get pimped out by Nic Nat next week and then finishes up against Preuss and a decent Giants OB brigade.
Totally flat across the ground and if his HTA work isn’t honed in, he can’t score.
If you’ve got more than 1 trade left, then yeah. Darcy to Gawn or Witts (even Nank lol) should net points.
Thanks GD
Going for broke this week and using final 2 trades. Got 258k itb
T/U: Short and Cripps (if suspended) to Dawson and Oliver
T/D: Darcy and Cripps to Bont (via English DPP) and Oliver
Traded Cripps to Steele a few weeks ago, been considering if the right move or not and now with the bump its to be seen ..
This week on last trade –
Short to Hall, Surely Hall can stay fit for 2 more rounds ..
Yes or No?
– If no then who are best options below 486k please?
Got my trade left and in the prelim for my league. Should I use it to turn Keays into Wines?
TU: Yes
TD: Hold last trade for emergencies
Cripps our might try N Daicos as I don’t have much cash left with two trades so can only go sideways
Final trade of the season, unfortunately to replace Vlastuin (if confirmed out) –
TU – Luke Ryan
TD – Gus Brayshaw
Comments – Adam Saad
Cripps to……..?
TU – GAWN
TD – MILLS
Conscious of the fact Sinc might get a tag or two in the final two weeks and Luke Ryans last 4 have been pretty handy.
TU – Jack Sinclair
TD – Luke Ryan
I realise that Merrett was tagged by Perryman in a losing side, but with Parish back Merrett certainly attracts more attention and hasn’t got a great track record at breaking said tag. Last two games against Port and Richmond should be a straight midfield battle? Worth a trade out to Parish or Petracca? Playing for rank with two trades left.
T/u: yes
T/d: no
Surely you have bigger fish to fry than Merret?
Teams looking good thankfully! Only other move I’ve been contemplating is Darcy to Gawn with Darcy severely flagging the last few weeks. Went back from 22 to 31 overall atm so trying hard to push where I can in the last 2 weeks

Is hewett a chance? I have one trade left, have both Cripps & Hewett
TU – Mills
TD – Brayshaw
Final Trade, Cripps out, will have 620k to spend.
It’s going to be out of Gawn, Sinclair, Parish, Mills, Walsh, Trac
Pretty much all remaining teams that I could come up against have Gawn, Sinclair, Trac and Mills, where I have 15-17 mutual players with each team.
T/U: Go for a Parish or Walsh
T/D: Even up the ledger a touch and go with Gawn, Sinclair or Trac
Cripps offered 2 weeks by the MRO. Probably appeals? Hard to see how he can wriggle out of the classification of the hit being careless, high contact and high impact though.
Happy to get a poll up on replacements but does seem pretty intuitive?
Hey GD.
Cripps still owned by 55%. There’s plenty of options and its a pretty easy decision if you have some cash.
Might still be worth a Poll for replacements under $555K.
LDU
Warner
Crouch.
Etc..
Might be worth also including the D/M like Dawson and Angus Brayshaw.
Would be great to get more people to jump on LDU with me lol!
I’ve certainly enjoyed having him 🙂
Crippa replacement
TU – Jordan Dawson
Td – Callum Mills
Crows have North Melbourne and Port go Dawson
TU Crisp, Steele
TD Brodie, Dawson
TU Gawn
TD Marshall
TU: Libba
TD: Bont
Comment: Bazlenka
TU: Bailey Smith
Last Trade. Who to Trade for Cripps. My next two opponents: both have Sinclair. One has Petracca. I still have Crisp who is a worry with not much coverage in Def whilst I have Duncan as a spare in mid/fwd.
So Cripps to:
TU: Petracca
TD: Sinclair (play safe as a mid and cover def next week as well in case of any outs).
Was a real shame I cant get to Laird. Would of loved him as a replacement.
Sinclair will get tagged by Clarke next week.
Man I hate taggers, just a coach admitting their game plan is not good enough.
In for crippa
tu – Parish
td – Mills
Trade in for Cripps
T/U Jack Steele (versus Bris @ Marvel projected 135 points & versus Sydney @ Marvel projected 124 points)
T/D Callum Mills (versus Coll @ SCG projected 119 points & versus St K @ Marvel projected 107 points)
Thanks everyone!!
Rumours that Hewett is right to come back just gotta get thru training this week! Would be great to cover Cripps with so fingers crossed
Is it worth going:
Short -> Hall (past 3 scores vs Crows 153, 139, 133)
Very tempting!
Hey guys, looking at replacement for Cripps.
T/U parish
T/D Dawson
T/U Docherty + Liberatore
T/D Sicily + Josh Kelly
Leaning towards trading Taranto to Dunkley or Libba ?
TU – Dunkley
TD – Lina
So Cripps verdict upheld and 2 week holiday means trade if people still have him.
Wish I could afford Laird…. Hmm
TU- safety of Petracca
TD- better draw & uniqueness of parish
Yet another Cripps replacement poll.
I’m tossing up between:
TU Mills
TD Walsh
Walsh will need to really step up to fill the Cripps void now.
TU – Cripps to Heeney, Short and Dawson
TD – Crisp to Mills, keep Short
3 trades left.
OUT: Cripps and Cameron
TU: IN: Oliver and English
TD: IN: Steele and Marshall
Taranto replacement.
TU: Parker
TD: Marshall
Cripps to:
TU: Steele
TD: Walsh
TU parish
Td Gawn
Parish T/U
Walsh T/D
For Cripps replacement ranked 2k. Wanna move up Parish more of a pod worries about his calf tho.
Need a Cripps replacement
TU – Parish
TD – Brayshaw
Ok here’s one….
Replacement for Cripps
TU – Hall via dpp
TD – Parish
T/U Merrett
T/D Parish
TU- Brayshaw (MELB) + Field Brodie (bench Short MID/DEF)
TD- Mills + Field Short (bench Brodie MID/FWD)
Cripps out, and time for POD Heppell to go. Dig decision…
TU: Laird and A. Hall
TD: MacRae and Sinclair
I love Sinclair (saints fan) but reckon he’ll almost definitely get tagged in round 23 so Hall has every chance to outscore him anyway and Laird is just so good right now that I would do whatever it takes to get him.
Yep – and Macrae’s last 6 scores are
104 / 100 / 128 / 95 / 82 / 102
with a 3 round average of 93
and with a 5 round average of 101.4
Will probably “go bigger” against his next two struggling opponents (GWS & Hawthorn) so I am not trading him out of my side, but not sure I would bring him into my side at the moment
Will be a lot of coaches putting the VC / CAPT on Laird this week versus Nth Melbourne 🙂
Hi all,
1 trade left…
TU cripps to Mills
TD Cripps to Gawn…
Thanks
Save your trade for the GF
Another Cripps replacement….
TU Sinclair
TD Walsh
Thank you!
I love it that people have trades left while I can only dream. Like most I have Cripps but my bench cover was Ah Chee. It’s been that sort of year!
TU – Walsh
TD – Gawn
Cripps named to play ????? any late news, maybe Carlton know something.
Short trade to?
TU Hall
TD Docherty
Any chance Cripps will get only 1 week?
Wow 0 weeks who woulda thought y’all
Last trade guys
T/U Short > Dawson
T/D Goldy > Gawn
Cripps free to play!
Reserve Trades! What the flipping heck do I do now!
So cripps reversal now presents me work an issue… who to leave off the field:
TU – butters
TD – Brodie
Comment – Heeney
Cheers
Short to…
TU Steele
TD Gawn
Wary of the Windhager tag and playing for top 100 rank so points crucial. Have no DEF cover unless Wehr is back.
TU – Neale to Steele
TD – Hold the last trade in case of DEF injury / suspension
I have 2 trades left.
This will leave me 1 trade for next week.
Trade Brodie to Gawn
TU Yes
TD No
Crisp
Brodie
To Bont?
Cheers in advance
Ridley Replacement
TU – Luke Ryan
TD – Bailey Dale
Comment – Gus Brayshaw
TU – Gus Brayshaw
Should I Trade Out ROB for Gawn?
TU Yes
TD No
What’s the chances of Taranto playing next week? One trade left
Last Def spot:
T/U: Doc
T/D: Brayshaw
Cheers
TU Crisp
TD Brodie
Already trading Short to K.Dawson to find the funds to get in the Bont, not sold on him at top dollar but more of a strategic trade after looking at my P.F and G.F opponents in my cash league, he’s the only one capable of going big and taking the win away from me, having said that I have to get through to the G.F first but with 4 trades remaining it’s all or nothing.
Thanks in advance.
using my last trade: upgrading Burgoyne to Dawson
who should I field at D6?
TU Short against hawks at mcg
TD Crisp against syd at scg
Will Vlastuin play is the big question ?? Bench cover isn’t great and 1 trade remaining and playing for league win.
Tu- Just Pick Dawson
Td – Wait, and if Vlastuin doesn’t play, options become limited to picking either Houston, Ryan or Redman.
One trade left. Options for this week: –
1. Daicos to Redman
2. Taylor Walker to J.Cameron/D.Cameron/J.Anderson
3. No trade
Would love some advice. Cheers
I don’t see any reason to trade either Daicos or Walker out this week. I’d keep the trade for an injury or suspension next week. Tex is playing North and Daicos has just as good a ceiling and average as Redman.
Cheers
Season well and truly done and dusted. Last trade to use on Preuss with $435k to spend.
TU – J. De Goey
TD – J. Stephenson
Comment – Another option like Sidebottom or maybe some forwards in hopes of a couple bags to finish like Buddy, Lynch or Walker (or anyone else you like). Cheers.
2 trades left and want to move Darcy on.
T/U – Darcy to Marshall saving an emergency trade for next week.
T/D – Darcy and S Butler to Gawn and J Serong. Burns both trades but it allows me to pay for Gawn.
Bench depth is D’Ambrosio, Owens, Carmichael, M Rioli of the guys who are possibly playing.
Which one to trade?
TU Lloyd
TD Short
Now that Cripps is in… do I trade out
TU: Ridley
TD: Lloyd
Tossing up between these trades for the preliminary final this week:
T/U Upgrade Hewett (not playing this week) to Dawson (versus North Melb @ Adelaide Oval)
With this option, I already have 6 x “premium” defenders on the field that include Short & Pendles & Crisp, so would bench either Pendles or Crisp if I bring in Dawson.
So am basically upgrading from Pendles or Crisp (on my field) to Dawson with this option
T/D Sean Darcy (versus WCE @ Optus) to Maxxy Gawn (versus Carl @ MCG)
Thanks legends 🙂
Should I use last two trades to enable Darcy Cameron to Max Gawn or straight swap Cameron to Nankervis saving one trade or hold both trades.
t/u Get in Gawn
t/d Save a trade
comment stick with Cameron
Need to win league round to get into finals
Darcy to Gawn (would have to use my 2 last trades for it)
TU – yes
TD – no
Help please!
Final trade…
T/U – Short > Dawson
T/D – Macrae > Laird
Comment – Cripps > Laird
Cripps > Laird
Def needs work to get me over the line this week!
Do i trade Vlastuin or Cumming out?
And do I bring in Docherty or Dawson for them?
Comment thoughts pls
Trade in:
TU Gawn
TD Sinclair
To trade out
TU Ridley
TD Goldstein.
4 trades left so looking to strengthen some potential weak spots
TU Marshall, with Crisp on field and looping Butters/English
TD Andy Brayshaw/Dawson with Crisp on bench
Opponent has Marshall and he has me worried, but so does another low Crisp score
2 trades and 200k itb and no real bench coverage. I’m thinking 1 upgrade this week and hold for injuries
TU: English to Gawn
Or
TD Macrae to Miller
Last trade:
Hewett to:
TU: Docherty
TD: Hall
TU Short to Doherty/Hall
TD Darcy to Gawn
Worth trading Brodie to Gawn?
Thanks!
