Who knows what’s going to happen in the coming weeks. Might go from 34 to 32 with a trade, might go 34 to 1 if you can trade out the injuries that we seem to be getting week to week.
Got 2 rookies on field to trade out – fitzergerald and francou. Should I trade out Durham or will he still score well. I can use money for bont but then I won’t have much for rookies. If I downgrade one rookie I can get don’t with the other
Tu: focus on rookies to upgrade to boot
Td: Durham to continue
Comment: any other strong mids pls
In a 50/50 qualifying final – 4 trades left.
Was going to upgrade/downgrade HHK & Fitzgerald until the news about Callaghan came through.
Current plan is:
Callaghan & HHK to Rankine & McCluggage.
TU: Good
TB: Bad, think again.
Last trade, what to do (either way, will leave me 2 premos short)
TU – trade Callaghan to best mid I don’t have. Leaves me with Herbert or Fitzgerald on field as well as HKK or Annand
TD – trade Holmes to best def I don’t have. Will mean I have full premo defence, but will have to play Herbert and Fitzgerald.
No trades left,Callaghan out- fourth premo ankle in 3 weeks. Over 3mill not playing on the bench. Sharp has come on at the right time! Herbert too!! Just posting to help people feel good about themselves at least my Lions are travelling ok….

Normally The Pies do not tag and give up plenty to opposition mids…however young Ed Allan has been taking on the tag role recently and has done a very good job…Likely to go with Baz this week…Smithy is also likey to get Finn O when they play North…Nas WM did belt Finn last Round.
The Crows have a very good fixture with Ess and Tigers next 2…How juicy is that!!!…and the Cats a great home run…both fighting for a good finals spot so no likelihood of being managed before finals…
Baz by a Nose given Ess next week anf Tigers in round 24..
Thanks for the write up! Yeah im leaning towards Baz too. I think sometimes dawsons versatility hurts from an sc perspective, he can be thrown up forward or down back for a quarter.
Baz will be 100% midfield, i feel like he can slip the allan/FOS tags because like Nas, he is a running machine and im not sure if those two can go with him. Good thing he plays on the same team as mullin!
Update on the previous thinking.
TU: as before, HHK & Callaghan to McCluggage & Rankine leaving 2 trades and 12K ITB
TD: Use a boost and go HHK, Callaghan, Fitzgerald to Gulden, Rankine & Peuker leaving 1 trade and 3K.
Thanks team!
In a knockout final, 60/40 chance of winning. 1 trade left. Around $120k in the bank.
Can spare the trade if I think I can win and get to the next round.
Near full premo team except for Herbert at M6 and Lombard F6, and Butters sitting on the bench.
TU: Trade butters out for Gulden (or Washcroft) – leaves Lombard at F6.
TD: Trade butters (through DPP swap) out for Rankine (or Bailey/the Chad/Jagga?!) – leaves Herbert at M6.
Comment: If there’s anyone better to go to.
Issues –
I have no way of looping in good Mid bench scores like Herbert last week.
Short / Miller / Petracca are a bit hit or miss.
I am stuck in 3 minds-
1. Hold, no trades, wait for carnage to hit then use the trades and if neccessary the depth.
2. Upgrade 1 position either forward or defence with a player up to $82.5k more.
3. Downgrade HHK to a non-playing rookie with multi positions, then upgrade Short / Miller or Petracca to an top Premium, whilst also opening up the option to loop in Herbert if he goes nuts.
Appreciate the thoughts, my current lean is towards option 1.
Draft question my good people. Got McCluggage on the bench. Should risk bringing him onto the field, and if so, who for? Big game high stakes round coming up. Much appreciate any input!
T/U Bring him on!!
T/D Dont risk it
Defenders
Lachie Ash (GWS)
James Sicily (Hawthorn)
Josh Worrell (Adelaide)

Forwards
Sam Durham (Essendon)
Darcy Byrne-Jones (Port Adelaide)
Tim Kelly (West Coast)

In knock-out final, 1 trade left, obviously must win to progress
Worth trading Xerri out to a better scorer at $520k, leaving me no trades
Thoughts would be Gulden or Bowie
TU: Smart
TD: Dumb
Are you protected to win?
So I have two trades left. I’m 34 overall and want to try to keep climbing. What do you guys think?
I’m thinking I want to trade in gulden for either:
TU: LDU
TD: Rowell
Comment: anything else?
Team: $21,900 ITB
DEF
Nas, ash, Whitfield, Parker, Sicily, worrel
HHK, Derksen
MID
Daicos, bont, neale, smith, Dawson, merrett, LDU, Rowell
Herbert, Fitzgerald, Burton
RUCK
Gawn, Grundy
Reidy
FWD
Sheez, JHF, Bailey, Durham, Kozi, Trac
Scerri, banfield
FLEX
Jackson
Love Gulden in , maybe Rowell out. More upside with LDU
Two trades left … don’t make any this round.
Who knows what’s going to happen in the coming weeks. Might go from 34 to 32 with a trade, might go 34 to 1 if you can trade out the injuries that we seem to be getting week to week.
Rowell is a cat. Get rid.
Xerri to Grundy for better scores?
Last mid spot:
TU: Heeney
TD: Gulden
Thank you Team.
Going to trade out xerri (flex) for someone: $556k
TU: Grundy
TD: Gulden
Comment: Heeney / Other
TU: Gulden
TD: Serong
Got 2 rookies on field to trade out – fitzergerald and francou. Should I trade out Durham or will he still score well. I can use money for bont but then I won’t have much for rookies. If I downgrade one rookie I can get don’t with the other
Tu: focus on rookies to upgrade to boot
Td: Durham to continue
Comment: any other strong mids pls
TU- McCluggage
TD- Steele
In a 50/50 qualifying final – 4 trades left.
Was going to upgrade/downgrade HHK & Fitzgerald until the news about Callaghan came through.

Callaghan & HHK to Rankine & McCluggage.

Last trade, what to do (either way, will leave me 2 premos short)
TU – trade Callaghan to best mid I don’t have. Leaves me with Herbert or Fitzgerald on field as well as HKK or Annand
TD – trade Holmes to best def I don’t have. Will mean I have full premo defence, but will have to play Herbert and Fitzgerald.
I have no DPP flexibility, because stupid
TU: C. Serong
TD: E. Gulden
Callaghan out
TU: Richards
TD: Oliver
Comment: Dawson, Neale, Heeney, Gulden, Jagga
Lol
Gulden or Ed for me
No trades left,Callaghan out- fourth premo ankle in 3 weeks. Over 3mill not playing on the bench. Sharp has come on at the right time! Herbert too!! Just posting to help people feel good about themselves at least my Lions are travelling ok….
4 weeks ago i had HHK as my 23rd, and 4 trades left to upgrade him.
those 4 trades have been used on Butters, dale, Holmes and now Callaghan.
leave me with HHK still at D6
Callaghan replacement
TU: Dawson
TD: Gulden
Last trade going to replace callaghan, who has the better draw out of
T/U jordan dawson (ess, rich, freo gws)
T/d bailey smith (pies, ess, roos, rich)
Leaning towards smith but need to win this week, do the pies generally give away good midfield scores?

Callaghan replacement
TU – B Smith
TD – Gulden
Anyone have any idea of an approximate timeline that Nic Newman would be out for?
I know they have not given any yet but just if any experts know how long
is it worth looping Daicos with herbert this week?
i’ll probably do it. due to the timing of the games this week, There isn’t really any other players in the midfield to loop with herbert.
4 trades left (inc 1 boost) with full premo team but no Nas…
TU: Callaghan + Holmes –> Baz + Stewart/Zorko/Bowey
TD: Callaghan + Holmes –> Baz + Nas + using boost to cash in Cumming
Update on the previous thinking.
TU: as before, HHK & Callaghan to McCluggage & Rankine leaving 2 trades and 12K ITB
TD: Use a boost and go HHK, Callaghan, Fitzgerald to Gulden, Rankine & Peuker leaving 1 trade and 3K.
Thanks team!
Callaghan replacement:
TU: Neale
TD: Ed Richards
Who to field
Tu: Herbert
To: Petracca
Who to field
Tu: Herbert
Td: Petracca
i assume you can’t loop them?
Just because it is Petracca against his old team, you have to put him on the field, surely he will have a big game.
In a knockout final, 60/40 chance of winning. 1 trade left. Around $120k in the bank.
Can spare the trade if I think I can win and get to the next round.
Near full premo team except for Herbert at M6 and Lombard F6, and Butters sitting on the bench.

TD: Trade butters (through DPP swap) out for Rankine (or Bailey/the Chad/Jagga?!) – leaves Herbert at M6.
Comment: If there’s anyone better to go to.
Cheers all!
Last trade for finals Callaghan replacement
TU Bailey Smith
TD will Ashcroft
Just unsure if Baz would get rested at all?
i’ve already got Smith, so its an easy trade to Ashcroft this week.
Don’t think they will rest Smith, Geelong ar 9th and need to keep winning
hey guys,
who do i trade in?
Gulden
or
Rankine
Cheers
Got both Holmes and Callaghan to deal with
TU – Gulden and Bowey
TD – Baz Smith and Sicily
is it worth using one of my last two trades to turn Josh Rachele into Rankine?
TU: Do it
TD: Save the trade and get HHK out from D6
you have been very patient with Rachele, and he does have some nice games coming up, but so does Rankine. if that was me, i’d get Rankine if you can
Best defender for 438k?
TU: Bruhn
or
TD: B.Hardwick
Any others?
that is a tough price-point. if you had another $50k you could get some very decent players.
at that range i’d be looking at Bruhn or Lawson Humphries. Cats have a soft run of games and someone has to fill the Holmes role
Roberts is an option, but i worry about his shoulder.
Holmes and Callaghan replacements, have 2 trades and ~100k ITB.
TU: Nas and Blakey
TD: Ashcroft and Ash
Comment: Dawson and Ash/Wilkie
2 Trades remaining.
In the double chance position in all my leagues.
Want to give myself the best chance of winning this week, but also thinking ahead hopefully to SC finals.
Couple of soft spots in my team, and $82.5k in the bank.
Def – NWM, Mills, Sicily, Clark, Worrell, Short (Annand, Artemis)
Mid – Daicos, Bont, Neale, Smith, Dawson, Merrett, Anderson, Newcombe (Herbert, HHK, Fitzgerald)
Ruck – Gawn, Jackson (Riley)
Fwd – Sheezel, JHF, Warner, K.Pickett, Miller, Petracca (L.Pickett, Banfield)

Thanks
who is your flex?
Darcy Cameron is Flex
i like option 3, but keep HHK and trade out Annand instead. swing HHK to defence and trade in a mid/fwd DPP rookie and have $220k in bank
Hey everyone,
TU: Gulden

T/U L Ryan (Freo)
T/D J Bowey (Melb)

TU Trade Milera to Def Premo
