      1. The moment I realised I came back here to delete the post but just missed the window.

        Will own trade nuffy post of the week.

  1. Trip-traded last week and mostly paid off. Young, Mead & Mannagh out for Massimo, Heeney and Berry (mild fail on cash grab on Berry but I’ll live with it).

    Got Gibcus and Reid on the decimated defence bench with Pink to come in next week – glad I waited a week on Hore / Coffield.

    My dark horse Harvey Thomas tonned up on the bench and Cadman pushed up his price.
    I’m

    Darcy on my watch list in a couple of weeks time.

  2. Short to D’Ambrosio
    Use that cash to upgrade Sexton to someone from Carlton or Brisbane (TBD)
    Gonna think about Jack Carroll too if he is named

    1. It no coincidence that crouch is back in the middle and the crows are losing.. Nicks might remember why he didn’t play him last year cos nothing’s changed and then is it worth side trading one of two players averaging around 100 for the m5 spot? Not in my opinion…

      1. VERY good point. I’m with Mark 100%. Well said.

        Fatt Crouch won’t do this all year.

        In general this looks like a season to play it straight and kick up to true premium options. No need to middle around in the 400-500k territory (with some obvious exceptions).

        Wines a bum. MIDs v Tigers and Eagles should be going 120 and he’s sub tonned both times. Laughable tank. Martin just not suited to a defensive orientation but role is there – could come good?

        Personally, I’d blast off and bin BOTH. Grab a must have premo MID (Bont, Butters, Green, Serong, etc.) and then with the remaining cash you can go Powell, any rookies you’ve missed, improve Young/Grundy or just bank it.

  3. Is this too reactive??? Using first boost to do:

    Berry > McKercher
    Young > Wanganeen Milera
    N’Martin > Serong

    Do it or don’t do it? Comment any alternative picks

    50

  4. Wines to Serong
    S Berry to Dempsey

    Ill work out during the week whether i use the boost. Trying not to but it means i miss sharp and keep young.

  5. Sunday Night Feelgood Trade

    Young + Dawson -> Ryan + Steele

    Reverse it on Monday then actually think about what I want to do this week.

  6. Little step by step plan I’ve drummed up. Not sure I’ll do it but lines things up nicely.

    1) So first up Z. Reid becomes Mass. Easy.

    2) Then I HOLD Young. Yes, his scores have been pathetic but have other things to do. I’ll fix Coffield next week by making him Uwland.

    3) DEF for this week is then Daicos, Ryan, Sheezel, Young, Mass, Zwill and then Howes looped via Coffield – which I like and is super solid going FWD.

    4) I then have to deal with S. Berry. Total bum. I like the look of Powell, so for my next trick I’d go Berry -> Powell via Wilson DPP.

    5) In order to finance that however, I need 100k. Can only do that by going…….Grundy -> Xerri. I know. I shit talked Xerri all pre-season. Two tons and has the ruckless Blues this week, whatever. Grundy been so so. Only thing giving me pause is he does get West Coast not this week but next and we’re letting rucks print mega tons.

    6) Step 6 would then be to go to North Blues this Friday and watch 4 Roos I have go at it.

    Not sure I’ll do it but do like the way it makes my team look ngl.

      1. Hey GD!

        Not sure why your responses have been flooded with downvotes … thinking the thought process for your trades is solid.

        Berry has room to grow but Powell looks set to sky rocket with his full time mid role. I’m hesitant on trading Grundy for it though, you can easily make the same move by downgrading Young to Mass and bringing in Pink for Reid for cover. Howes is solid enough to be your D6 for the foreseeable future.

        1. Haha. Hey, LG.

          Yeah, I’ve never copped that many TDs before! I feel like Wighty.

          20 plus as of rn but only making me want to do it every more lol.

          Yeah, the Grundy move isn’t ideal. Just a means of financing. Few ways to get there, you’re right.

          Appreciate it.

          1. I think several of the downvotes are for keeping Young because otherwise, the moves make sense. I actually had Xerri in as R2 up until the Sydney game in round 1 where Grundy put up a 78 or whatever it was. That scared me off having two sub-elite rucks so I brought in English for Xerri. I was actually thinking of going Grundy -> Xerri this week, but I think I have enough other problems to deal with right now.

            1

            0
            1. I downvoted because of the Grundy move tbh. Feel if you’re trading him it has to be up to English or Marshall. Bring xerri in is another trade needed to get him out which i’m not a fan of.

  7. Is J McGovern the real deal? Can he sustain this game throughout the season and be a top 5 defender? I’m thinking of getting McGovern in for Young and then get Serong in the midfield too.
    Wanganeen also an option?

    T/U: J Mcgovern
    T/D: Wanganeed
    Comment – Other.

    Cheers everyone!

    1. He’s the real deal as long as he plays.

      I started him last year, all was looking well, felt like a genius and then BANG, injured, done.

      Up to you whether you want to ride the rails of his injury profile and our competition worst high performance department.

      He plays, he scores though.

  8. So guaranteed trade is Young to NWM and thinking Berry to Lyons as second. Short has been underwhelming so far though so if I boost and trade him out, Berry and Short to:

    TU: Stewart & Lyons
    TD: Crouch & McGovern (or some other sub $500k defender)

  9. At the moment I’m going
    Martin->serong
    Wines -> Powell via dpp
    Young -> Houston
    I’m not sure if I should go young to nwm instead which would allow me to bank more coins. I can’t afford Ryan or Stewart unfortunately so Houston is the only one I can go to atm

  10. Having some regret for taking waganeen miserable out for Houston in my last batch of preseason changes. Can someone just reassure me that I don’t need to swap them back wasting a trade and Houston will be reliable points.

  11. Held for an extra week to give the ben fit of the doubt but I’ve seen enough.

    Martin has a good role but the scoring hasn’t come
    Wines, don’t even get me started. How does he not pull out 2 big hundreds against the eagles and a weakened tigers mid
    Young, obvious reasons

    Young > Mass
    Wines > Steele
    Martin > Serong

    TU: Do it
    TD: Look elsewhere

  12. Young > Ryan
    Lazzaro > Carroll

    I don’t quite have enough to go straight from Young to Ryan or Stewart (or someone of that ilk). I can’t get anyone sub 604k for him. I think Carroll will generate more cash quicker than Lazzaro but Lazzaro will be the better player to pick in future years. It still leaves me with the Reid and Coffield issue in def as well so not sure if correcting a “premo” that will bleed cash is more important than fixing rookies at this stage.

    7

    1. I’d probably try and get rid of one of Reid or Coffield. Cash gen is king and you can’t be having two bench spots in the same line not earning you anything in my view. Dan Houston and Sheezel are both below $600k and will be good to have in your side so could look there but also not against using a boost this week as pre price changes is the most important time of the season to set your team up right

  13. I feel like I have 5 or so issues, but none scream out as an emergency.

    Issues 1 & 2: Ried & Gibcus. This week is Gibcus > Pink. My favorite move was going Coffield > Mass after hearing the Gibcus news, knowing I would be aiming to bring in Mass, I thought why not straight away and correct Coffield in if needed, it was not needed.

    Issue 3: Dempsey is probably the best rookie, Clark is probably my worse. Clark just outscored Dempsey so I am viewing this as a luxury trade. Probably a no.

    Issue 4: Jordan Dawson

    Issue 5: Nic Martin, late change to bring him in. Don’t think he will be a top 8 def or close to where a mid keeper is. Various iterations had this spot as Serong (forget how I could afford that one) or Steele. I feel like I am going Martin > Steele this week. I think Steele will be a 115 to 120 guy this year. That is keeper level.

    TU: Martin > Steele
    TD: Dawson to Steele (plus cash that is probably Martin > Flanders/Miller)

  14. Thoughts?

    TU – 3 trades….
    Young to NWN.
    Martin to Serong.
    Berry/Sexton to Powell.

    Or just the 2 trades….
    TD – Young to Ryan/Houston.
    Berry/Sexton to Powell.
    Keep faith in Martin.

  15. Thoughts?

    Wines -> Serong
    Young -> L. Ryan
    Grundy -> T. Powell

    Have some alternatives; Steele, wanganeen-milera, crouch

    Any other alternatives? (I have heeney, Naicos, Massimo, Flanders, rowell, green, bont, tingles Should I be looking at Carroll or something?

    6

      1. I am seriously considering the same – Grundy down to Powell and moving Jackson to ruck line.

        If/when shrek comes back and his scoring drops – he will have made enough cash to shift to english or romo

        makes sense with Powell too, great cash gen and scoring as he has the role.

  16. Alex Sexton….

    TU: Take his one price increase and run. Trade to Jack Carroll (via DPP) or Dempsey
    TD: Hold Out. He still has more money to make

  17. PSA to the great minds on this site!

    I have one important decision to make this week that will shape my season. Trade Young to Luke Jackson or Luke Ryan?

    TU – Luke Action Jackson
    TD – Luke Rolls Royce Ryan

    FYI, leaning towards Ryan due to 42% ownership of Jackson (Ryan on 5% as we speak)

    7

    20
  18. Can’t decide for the life of me with this one, especially with Darcy back in the not too distant future.

    TU: Jackson, NWM & Dempsey in for Martin, Bonner, Coffield
    TD: Powell & Ryan/NWM + $200k for Martin & Bonner

    Cheers

  19. Potential Trades for this week

    Gibcus -> D’Ambrosio
    Coffield -> Pink / Phillips
    S. Berry -> Carroll

    Will address some Defence issues and leave at least $244.6k ITB – yay or nay?

  23. Is anyone trading Nick Daicos, is projected to drop about 70k. Looked terrible on weekend, has potential Finn McGinness tag and bye coming up in next 2-3 weeks?

    T/U – Hold, will most likely be trading back in later on in season.

    T/D – Trade, plenty of trades, use his cash and assess whether to bring him in later on.

    Cheers everyone

  24. Trade H.Young, Newcombe & Coffield to:

    TU: Wanganeen-Milera, Serong, Pink
    TD: Stewart, Steele, Pink

    Or do I bring in Ryan instead of Stewart? Already have Jackson so not sure if Ryan, Serong & Jackson would be too many Dockers?

    11
  25. Is this too Bold?

    move Jackson to ruck line for:
    Grundy – powel
    Coffeild – D’ambros
    young – Ryan

    gives me both cash, ability to generate more cash, move on an underperformer (or two) and get a top DEF player locked in.

    yes, it leaves question marks for when Shrek comes back but also solves for the Sydney Bye round

    9

    1
    1. I personally don’t own him, but have backed him for 25 and 20 disposals the last few weeks which both lost. He looks lost out there and is waiting for the ball to come to him instead of going and winning the ball like we have come accustomed too. 2 scores of 60 isn’t good enough, I’d be moving him on for sure mate!

      8

      0
    2. I would be mighty tempted by downgrading him to Steele.

      Still think Newcombe comes good, but as it stands he’s going to drop significant cash and hasn’t looked great on the eye-test (our midfield as a whole suffers from this).

  26. Trading out Coffield > Massimo

  27. Thoughts on Bramble for a Reid/Gibcus replacement? Some decent cash gen and looks to have a reasonable role in the team. Big fan of him being DPP as well.

  28. Somehow copped it again this season.

    My JHS pick bit me in the ass, I started Young and I held Reid and Gibcus on the bench as loopholes, but now Coffield has gone down leaving me one short in Def.

    Jackson and Serong seem like must haves, but I also have to fix my Def.

    I didn’t watch the games, but are NWM and Powell also the real deal?

  29. Trading out Gibcus & Young

    TU – D’Ambrosia & Wanganeen-milera with $60K cash remaining
    OR
    TD – Pink & Ryan/Stewart with not much cash

    16

  30. I’ve got a dilemma,
    I am 11k away from doing a simple swap of Young, Short -> NWM, Ryan.

    Do I use a boost to sideways Sexton to Carroll and get that extra cash, or find an alternative to NWM?

    TU: Yes
    TD: No

  32. lost patience with Short… already lost some money, can’t afford to lose more. I have enough money to go Ryan, but I can go Nas and upgrade Martin to Butters. Thoughts?

    Mackenzie > Powell , not much money left

    Martin> Mckercher
    Mackenzie > Powell

  33. Got a dilemma,

    Got a N Martin issue to deal with, as well as a few rookies who seem like great picks, but only 2 more trades to do it (already done young to mass)

    TU: Prioritise Martin – Serong

    TD: Bring required rookies in (Pink/Carroll/Dempsey) and give Martin 1 more week

    3

    10
  34. TU: Wines to English (via Jackson DPP) + 1.4k ITB
    TD: Wines to Serong + 93.5k ITB

    Serong with a breakeven of 41 and English with West Coast and Geelong in his next two

    13
  35. Bigger priority to turn Nic Martin into (currently have Zac Fisher at F1 for reference):

    TU: Luke Jackson
    TD: Serong

    15
  36. Got no money in the bank and Nic Martin still sitting in my midfield next week. What is a a better play this week?

  37. Tossing up between these 2 trade scenarios. Would love some input:

    OUT: Young, N Martin & Grundy

    TU:
    IN – Massimo, Steele & Powell (via DPP moving Jackson to ruck)
    Bank $463k for a premo next week

    TD:
    IN – L Ryan, Steele & Powell (via DPP)

  38. Trading out Young:

    TU: Has to go – quicker the better

    TD: Hold – He has the role, just needs to sort out his disposal

    23

    4
    1. As much as I’d love to hold, that BE being so high in conjunction with him just not looking very good is a massive concern.

      The increase in trades has made it easier to correct a Young type, especially if you’re missing the likes of Massimo, Sheezel etc.

  41. Gidday Supercoaches

    Off to a better start this season ranked in the 1600’s.

    The trades for this week are as follows:
    Out – Young- Gibcus – Fyfe
    In – McGovern – D’Ambrosio – Powell

    The reason is thus – Young will lose heaps of $’s, Gibcus is not making any $’s and if Fyfe is getting subbed because he is being managed then he has no place in my team. Invariably it happens when you least can afford it.
    McGovern is an elite scorer, has a designated role and will see plenty of ball. Just needs to stay on the park. D’Ambrosio is cheap but making lots of $’s. JS seems okay now as well. Powell – a midfield posing as a forward – whats not to like. Seems to he in Norths first choice midfield rotation.

  42. Understand Jackson probably better short term but for the long term

    TU: Luke Ryan
    TD: Luke Jackson

  44. Messed up the options earlier so trying again!
    Young & Sexton out, replaced by:

    TU – Ryan & Carroll. Leaves $400 itb
    TD – NWM & Carroll. Leaves $136,000 itb.

    1. Dawson’s AF numbers have been high, roles good, yes he’s had a bad start but I fully expect him to average 110+ for the year.

      I’d personally hold, would be classic SC for him to outscore Serong this week too

      4

      1
  45. Missed out on McKercher – is he worth getting in ? Ie will make up the money lost from reading the likes of Sexton, Burgess, Wehr down to Mannagh to bring him in ?

    Tu – find a way to bring him in
    Td – missed the boat, save the trades

    Also have all the injured backs to consider along with Young, N Martin and J Dawson. Too much going on !!

    Thanks SCT folk.

  46. Didn’t see one person post and ask about which of these two to trade out..

    TU: S.Berry
    TD: Bonner

    Surely I wasn’t the only dropkick who thoughts starting both was a good idea? Lol Or is it that obvious whose the trade out that noone else felt the need to ask..

    8

    3
    1. Fob off Berry. He sucks. Subbed.

      Make him Powell with me, Mav.

      On Bonner, let’s see how the Saints settle heading into Sinc’s second week back. Expecting Bonner higher up.

      6

      1
  47. Yeah I think Sinclair might make a move back into the mids still.. or maybe that’s just the Bonner owner in me hoping that’s the case!

    The 60k extra on bonners head opens up a couple more options and passing on D’ambrosio opens a few more again and probably the only way im affording butters or serong so I’m very torn at the minute GD.. I
    feel you need 2-3 of sharp, d’ambrosio, Carroll or dempsey and I’m probably going to secure 1 or at best 2 losing alot of cash generation on other teams.

    Some big decisions ahead GD!

  48. Is it too sideways to go H.Reid to T.Powell? Not too much else to do as I already traded Young to Mass last week after seeing Young in the first round.
    I’m actually quite happy with the team at the moment and I may not end up doing anything except tinker with Coffield’s out but thats not urgent with Best 18. Was going to use that 100K to bolster the Def R5 or 6.

    TU: H.Reid to T.Powell
    TD: Hold (he’s a bit mid priced for my liking and not worth it)

  49. Played with all the left field options. Pretty set on either of these:

    TU:
    Young -> Steele
    Sexton -> Pink (Field Howes D6, ZWill D5)
    Wines -> Powell
    220k ITB to target Flanders next week.

    TD:
    Young -> Ryan
    Wines -> Powell
    80k ITB

    1. Think the first option is deadly considering it allows you to get Flanders next week. Easy decision for me

    1. Don’t love it, Williams coming off bye will play and go up in $. Any other ways of bringing in Jackson?

      3

      1. I have 175k so plenty of options. My thinking was that the three players going out will generate $$$ but will not be keepers, whereas NWM and Jackson will be.

  50. Have the Young problem … thinking of these:

    T/U
    Out: Young, Fyfe & T.Berry
    In: Serong, Massimo & Dempsey

    T/D
    Out: Young, T. Berry & Gibcus
    In: Massimo, Powell & Pink with 230k in bank for upgrade to Flanders next week.

    1. Is there a way you can grab Powell, Mass and Serong? (I’m pretty bullish on Powell as a pick though).

      Otherwise probably lean towards the TD. I think Powell has keeper potential, and at his price it’s hard to pass on

      1

      1
      1. Hmmm I can get all three by going Young, Fisher & Fyfe out …

        Would leave the fwd line thin (Jordan, Powell, Windsor, Reid, Cadman & Wilson) BUT midfield line is nuts (Bont, Green, Serong, Dawson, Butters, Miller, McKerther & Sanders).

        Pull trigger?

        0

        3
        1. That midfield is unreal, but I think you’d rather field Roberts than any of those last three forwards. I think stick fat with the TD option, grab Flanders next week

          1

          0
  51. I don’t have C McKercher as I have H Reid instead. Move H Reid to midfield and trade to McKercher who will make more cash.

    TU – Yes

        1. Tricky one. Don’t think there’s a strong case to move on from Harley, but there’s a strong case to grab McKercher. As it stands Kerch looks like he’ll make us 200k+

          Can’t grab some funds and take a Clark type up to him? Or use DPP and bin Sexton?

          Otherwise if Harley is the only way, I’d personally do it.

  52. I am a bit lost as to what I should be looking at this week. Used a boost last week.

    DEF: Daicos, Sheezel, Young, Massimo, Williams, Howes (Reid, Coffield)
    MID: Bont, Dawson, Butters, Serong, Miller, Flanders, Roberts, McKercher, (Sanders, Sharp, Clark)
    RUCK: Jackson, Grundy (Livingstone)
    FWD: Heeney, Jordon, Billings, Reid, Lazarro (Sexton, Cadman)
    ITB: 79.6k

    I am getting frustrated by Young, I have Reid and Coffield to correct, and wouldn’t mind getting Flanders back to the forward line (although that is not pressing). Any thought?

  54. Prioritise cash generation or chase premiums.

    TU:
    Berry-> sharp/carroll
    Gibcus -> d’ambrosio
    N.Martin-> Powell
    Bank: 384k
    next week probably wines -> uber

    TD:
    Wines -> powell
    N.Martin -> serong/butters
    Gibcus -> d’ambrosio
    Bank: $123k
    next week probably berry/Bonner to a cow

    Berry and Bonner still have extremely low BEs one even being negative still. So Certainly won’t lose $$ if I have to hold 1 more week to prioritise trading wines to serong. Just means I miss carroll, sharp or dempsey who look great cows..

  59. Torn between wanting to improve my team ASAP or getting the best buys this week, all whilst dealing with injuries

    OPTION 1 – Thumbs UP
    OUT – H Young, N Martin & Sexton
    IN – D’Ambrosia, Serong & Powell
    This option still leaves me with injured players in Z Reid, Gibcus & Coffield but it is only best 18 this week and I should have 21 & with $127K remaining

    OPTION 2 – Thumbs DOWN
    OUT – H Young, Gibcus & Sexton
    IN – D’Ambrosia, Pink & Powell
    This option still leaves me with 2 injured rookie defenders, still with hopefully 21 players & $307k remaining for next week to grab a premo.

  60. If you don’t have the likes of McKercher or sharp/carroll/dempsey who’s more important and who’s first can off the rank to be traded out? Clark, Mannagh, TBerry, Sexton, Windsor or even Jordon?

    1. I voted McGovern cause he’ll score if he plays but he’s just not been reliable in that regard. 2019 was the last time he managed more than 2 thirds of a season. Just be ready to trade him out again but I’d recommend looking at someone else in that price range

  70. J.Dawson & Fisher >> Serong & T. Powell & $92,400
    The dollars should let me fix the injured backline rookies next week, after we see who plays this week, and how they go.

    T/D Maybe but its sideways, not sure the extra trades give us that leeway.

    1. If possible, I don’t mind the Fyfe to Powell trade. Fyfe will be managed throughout the season, so swapping him for Powell who will rise quickly makes sense. Wouldn’t be trading Wines/Jordon – both dependable.

    As I have both Gibcus and Coffield on the bench and given that Melbourne have the bye round 6 and I have Howes and Hore & I am wondering whether to use a boost and get Pink as extra cover.
    The new DPP’s come in before R6 right? So for example I could trade Gibcus and via DPP move Sexton to the back line?

  80. Quick re cap of the trades last round. I made a VERY last minute decision to trade out Newcombe for Holmes in order to do the Gibcus > D’Ambrossio, and I’m pretty happy I did that, instead of switching Stewart for a cheaper premo (which I would’ve been kicking myseld had I made that decision). Also went with Z Reid > Uwland, which was also handy.

    So now for this week (* note bye)

    DEF – Stewart, Daicois, Sheezel, D’Ambrossio, Williams, Howes (Uwland*, Coffield)
    MID – Bont, Green*, Merrett, Miller*, Holmes, Roberts, McKercher, Sanders (Carroll, Sharp, Clark)
    RUC – Gawn, Grundy (Livingstone)
    FWD – Jackson, Flanders*, Jordon, Fyfe, Reid, Wilson (Sexton*, Campbell)

    $65.5k ITB

    The only trade I’ll be needing to make this week is Coffield out for another defender rookie ( who are dropping like flies)

    TU: Pink

  81. Tossing up between two options:

    Option 1:

    Option 2:

    TU : Good plan
    TD : No

    1. I don’t know that Clark will definitely be a slower burn than a Carroll or Dempsey. Dempsey kicked 3 in his first game which has inflated the average a bit while we don’t know what happens to Carroll when Walsh comes back in 2 or 3 weeks. Clark was bad in his first game but is getting on ball minutes no matter who is in the side and just looked much more ready this week. With Danger out for a couple of weeks, he could get even more on ball time and really start to score so while I like Gibcus & Berry out to D’Ambrosio & one of the two rookies, I wouldn’t be using a boost on a sideways rookie swap

    Unsure on the following:
    * bringing in NWM for more money ITB, or Ryan for that guaranteed set & forget.
    * is Martin or Wines more pressing, with the money ITB, I can upgrade the other into a premo Mid the following week.

    1

    1. I’d always go a set and forget if you can. As for Martin v Wines, their breakevens are 128 & 70, respectively. Financially you’re better off keeping Wines for the extra week. Best 18 also makes the point difference less significant, unless one goes nuts.

    Ryan/Mass/ Powell and 250K for next week – N Daicos in the gun, with the across the board demise of my beloveds.
    Ryan has the laziest 120+ role ever seen in SC, the others are no news to anyone.

    1. They will both be in the cash zone in rd 4 anyway and Darcy’s ability to score might be handy this week.

  91. I need some help/advice.

    I was originally wanting to trade
    Option 2:
    Young > Sheezel
    Martin > Powell (via DPP)
    Coffield > Pink

    However, if i go the below trades instead i can can get in Heeney who i missed out on last week due to lack of funds
    Option 2:
    Young > NWM
    Martin > Powell (via DPP)
    Sexton / Berry > Heeney

    So my question is, it it worth going NWM over Sheezel to afford Heeney and also missing out on Pink before his price rise?

    Or do i secure Sheezel and Pink and just cop missing out on Heeney and hope his moved back forward when Adams and Parker come back?

    Please vote on:
    TU – Option 1
    TD – Option 2

    1. Hey mate
      Thinking of same trades, only concern is what number of injured defensive rookies you have left. I still have three, Gibcus, Coffield and Reid, and these trades would mean I am not offloading any of these guys this week. It is best 18 so perhaps it could wait a week, interested to hear what you think.
      TU: Go ahead with trades
      TD: Three defensive injuries too much even in best 18 week

      3

      3
      1. obviously you need to fix one of the defensive rookies for round 4 when it is back to 22 starters.

        but you can hold the other two for round 5 & 6 which are best 18 if no other defensive rookies put their hand up. Round 7 DPP’s will let you trade them out to other lines and swing the likes of Roberts, Mckertcher, Martin, Fisher etc to defence.

        0

        0
        1. I just think it’s better to avoid having two dead rookies in the line. It’s always good to have some bench cover, even in best 18 it gives you more options for scoring. I’d try and be trading both Gibcus and Coffield out over the next two weeks, one this week and one next. Reid is out 4 weeks so after that he’ll only be two weeks away and you can use him to loophole in the meantime

  100. Hi all
    Interested why so many are keen to offload Martin. Sure he started poorly in Round 1 but was substantially better in Rd 2 albeit without Redman. Defence is already thin and it’s only a few weeks till Round 6 for the DPP Switch. If he averages 95 for the season is that enough for a D6?

    I have two ways my trades could go this week.
    Option 1:
    Out: N Martin, J Gibcus, H Young
    In: C Serong, T Powell, M D’Ambrosio

    Option 2:
    Out: J Gibcus, H Young, C Windsor
    In: T Powell, M D’Ambrosio, T Pink

    TU: Option 1
    TD: Option 2

    Keen to hear other opinions on why people are trading or holding Nic Martin

    7

    0
    1. offloading Martin is a way to get on a premium you missed in starting team, such as Butters, Heeney, Jackson, Ryan or Serong.

      he just has $500k on his head and unlikely to increase

  101. Time to pull the trigger on the pork chop express, thoughts greatly appreciated:

    T/U: Young / Martin / Coffield -> NWM / MCrouch / Hore (Pink) = bit of cash in the bank

    T/D: Young / Sexton / Coffield -> NWM / Powell / Phillips (price point) = skint

    1

    3
    1. If option 1 leaves you with some cash in the bank, I’d try and get a better player in than crouch. Just very concerned he’ll get shifted off cause the crowd midfield just doesn’t look as good as it did last year and the main shakeup is that he’s back in there full time.

  106. Similar backline problems to everyone (Gibcus, Coffield, Reid and Young) and i can’t afford to straight swap Young to Sheezel unless I pass on D’Ambrosio so will need some manoeuvring

    T/U: Gibcus -> D’ Ambrosio, Coffield -> Pink, Young -> NSM

    T/D: Grundy -> Xerri, Gibcus -> D’Ambrosio Young -> Ryan/Sheezel

    Option 1 fixes up Coffield for pink rather than leaving him for next week however it backs Grundy and NSM. Option 2 leaves me with Reid and Coffield on my bench to fix in the future, missed pink and backs Xerri in over Grundy. But allows me to put Young up to a gun.

    2

    1
    1. Option 1 feels safer for cash gen and warm bodies and is backing NSM to outscore Young from here on. Option 2 feels riskier but could pay off points wise with the likes of Ryan and Xerri, especially if Grundy doesn’t fire. But could leave me in a lurch with Coffield and Reid on the bench
