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
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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)
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
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.
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
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.
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
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)
“He’s had that shoulder repaired before. It’s disappointing. It’s pretty unstable that shoulder. I can’t confirm what’s going to happen but I’d imagine he’s going to be out for a fair while.” – Bevo
TU: Young & Sexton -> Ryan & Carroll
TD: Young & Lazaro -> Ryan & NWM
Comment:
Young -> Jordan Clark, nice price, scoring and playing well, never been consistent though.
Tu – nwm, pink and serong in for young, Newcombe and pink
Td – coffield, gibcus and one of Newcombe and young (vote below) in for Pink, hore and vote below
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.
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!
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).
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.
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?
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?
TU Short > NWM
Martin > Butters
Mackenzie > Powell , not much money left
TD Short > Ryan
Martin> Mckercher
Mackenzie > Powell
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.
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 !!
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..
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.
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)
I have 175k so plenty of options. My thinking was that the three players going out will generate $$$ but will not be keepers, whereas NWM and Jackson will be.
Hmmm I can get all three by going Young, Fisher & Fyfe out …
Would leave the fwd line thin (Jordan, Powell, Windsor, Reid, Cadman & Wilson) BUT midfield line is nuts (Bont, Green, Serong, Dawson, Butters, Miller, McKerther & Sanders).
That midfield is unreal, but I think you’d rather field Roberts than any of those last three forwards. I think stick fat with the TD option, grab Flanders next week
Tricky one. Don’t think there’s a strong case to move on from Harley, but there’s a strong case to grab McKercher. As it stands Kerch looks like he’ll make us 200k+
Can’t grab some funds and take a Clark type up to him? Or use DPP and bin Sexton?
Otherwise if Harley is the only way, I’d personally do it.
I am getting frustrated by Young, I have Reid and Coffield to correct, and wouldn’t mind getting Flanders back to the forward line (although that is not pressing). Any thought?
TD:
Wines -> powell
N.Martin -> serong/butters
Gibcus -> d’ambrosio
Bank: $123k
next week probably berry/Bonner to a cow
Berry and Bonner still have extremely low BEs one even being negative still. So Certainly won’t lose $$ 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..
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.
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?
I see people preferring Jack Carroll to Oliver Dempsey but not sure why. Won’t Carroll’s job security be in jeopardy with Walsh, Martin and Motlop due back soon whereas Dempsey’s role and security seem solid?
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
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/U Yes, makes sense.
T/D Maybe but its sideways, not sure the extra trades give us that leeway.
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.
I get that NWM and Yeo are touted as possible replacements for Young, but no one seems to be showing any love for Jordan Clark. Is he a good POD option?
Hogan to McKercher & Coffield to Pink
$300k in the bank.
Should I do Grundy to Xerri to bank some more cash to guarantee Bonner to Tom Green next week? I have 4 swans and 0 pies for that bye week (including Grundy)
First 2 trades are as follows:
Out: Young & Martin
In: NWM & Serong
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?
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.
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
Coffield -> Pink
Young -> NWM/Ryan
Wines/Martin -> Powell
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.
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.
Howdy all, it seems there is much work to do among us all.
Young/Short/Dawson gonski.
All roles are just horrible and Young likely to tag JD this week just for emphasis.
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.
They will both be in the cash zone in rd 4 anyway and Darcy’s ability to score might be handy this week.
If trading Sexton for Darcy is your game, then it may as well be this week.
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?
Trying to decide what’s best to do. I seem to be killing all the defensive rookies, even thinking about them has led to injuries (Trezise now injured and I was contemplating him for next week).
I have Reid and Coffield on the bench (already have Massimo who I brought in for Gibcus).
TU: Bring in Pink (scoring not great but two dead rookies not making $ is concerning).
TD: Wait for someone else and don’t worry about defensive rookie $ for now.
Worner back next week and Phillips likely too… can wait for fresh rookies if you have more needy trades. It’s only best 18 so bench players not so much a worry.
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
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.
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
Only made the single trade last week (Lazzaro to T.Berry) to gauge Massimo and co. The Coffield injury and Young’s horrendous form adds salt to the wound.
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
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.
you can wait on the injured defender rookies and trade them out round 7 after DPP’s. If you have Roberts/Martin/Fisher in team, you can trade the dead rookies for rookies on other lines vis DPP
Trading out Young, Dawson & Grundy
Must bring in Massimo and Heeney
TU
Serong 285k itb (only single upgrade to Miller next week)
TD
Powell 590k itb (double upgrade Miller and one of Steele/Flanders/Whitfield next week better cash gen)
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/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.
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
Dawson:
TU – Hold, still too early
TD – Trade before price drop
Goodbye Young, hello Whitfield
Into his bye?
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.
Class.
Goodbye Young and Short, I cannot believe I got sucked in.
Best replacements for Reid and/or Coffield?
Already have Massimo, Williams & Howes.
Pink (NTH)*, Hore (MELB)*, Uwland (GCS), Brown (RICH), Draper (FREO).
*on the bubble
Windhager?
Windy had a good game, but will depend how long Crouch is out for
as 3 of next 4 rounds best 18 may be able to wait to see other options that may present.
Trading Young hes ass
TU – Nic Newman
TD – Yeo and bank 80k
Comment – Someone else
Best young replacement?
Already have Houston Daicos sheezel
Assuming you can afford to kick up, then Stewart or Ryan obviously.
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.
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
Is Hayden Young a must trade?
TU: Yes
TD: No
The biggest MUST trade in the history of supercoach…..
19 clangers and 6 frees against in 2 matches. He’s had 20+ touches each game but he’s a butcher.
Want to bring in Matt Crouch who to get rid of
TU – Nic Martin
TD – Ollie Wines
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…
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.
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
Nope. Excellent.
Oh hell yeah!!
Perfect.
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.
Reid – Massimo
Young – Yeo/Milera
Maybe use boost
Windsor – Tom Powell
Thoughts?
Hold Windsor I think.
Sunday Night Feelgood Trade
Young + Dawson -> Ryan + Steele
Reverse it on Monday then actually think about what I want to do this week.
Personally think Dawson is a hold
Locking in Wines -> Powell
Then weighing up if I should also include Young -> Ryan
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.
Distilled it is:
Z. Reid -> Mass
Grundy -> Xerri
S. Berry -> Powell (via Wilson DPP)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Thanks GD, much appreciated.
Injury is a concern, but gee whiz he can score when he’s on field!!
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)
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
Sick.
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.
Your overthinking this…
They’ve scored 1 point difference between them, only thing you’ve lost out on is the price difference
TU- T.Powell
TD- J.Sharp
Trade Out Priority?
TU- Coffield
TD- Z.Reid
Hayden Young to wanganeen-Milera?
Trading Coffield
TU: Hore
TD: Pink
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
Wines TOG 74% R1, 75% R2. Is that under for TIG compared to other midfielders?
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.
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
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)
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.
Is Libba to Serong too much of a luxury trade?
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?
Sorry I have Jackson already as well.
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.
I like it, Ledo. Nice.
Thoughts?
Gibcus, Young, Reid > Yeo, D’Ambrosio, Pink
Thinking the same, although Jordan Clark is also tempting!
Draft:
Would you trade B. Crouch for Fyfe?
Hayden Young replacement
TU – Sheezel
TD – NWM
Not even a question. Sheezel a must have. Do it while you can.
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
Young to
Up – Wanganeen Milera
Down – Yeo
Thinking something like this
Coffield –> Pink
Young –> NWM
Fyfe –> Powell
Do we know how serious/long-term Coffield’s injury is yet?
“He’s had that shoulder repaired before. It’s disappointing. It’s pretty unstable that shoulder. I can’t confirm what’s going to happen but I’d imagine he’s going to be out for a fair while.” – Bevo
TU: Coffield – Pink/Hore
TD: Burgess – Dempsey
I have Young and Salem.
Should I trade one .
Thinking Yeo who looks fit.
Sexton > Dempsey
Tu or TD
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)
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
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?
TU: Young & Sexton -> Ryan & Carroll
TD: Young & Lazaro -> Ryan & NWM
Comment:
Young -> Jordan Clark, nice price, scoring and playing well, never been consistent though.
Tu – nwm, pink and serong in for young, Newcombe and pink
Td – coffield, gibcus and one of Newcombe and young (vote below) in for Pink, hore and vote below
Tu – young to NWM
Td – Newcombe to steele
Assuming that Pink is one of Gib/Cof. in the TU? TU every day of the week – Young & Newcombe have soiled the bedding.
Torn on the below:
T/U
Young -> L Ryan
Newcombe -> Steele
Coffield -> T Pink
OR
T/D
Young -> Wanganeen-Milera
Newcombe -> Steele
Coffield -> D’Ambrosio
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
TU
Young -> NWM
Coffield -> Massimo
Sexton -> Carroll
TD
Young -> Massimo
Coffield -> Pink
Sexton -> Powell
Thanks
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?
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
is newcombe trade out a must
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!
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).
Agree with Abs. I’ll be doing Newcombe to Steele this week.
Trading out Coffield > Massimo
Who to trade in for Young & Dawson:
TU
Yeo & Serong 7k itb
TD
NWM & Steele 70k itb
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.
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?
Also, Bramble has a pretty valuable dpp. Worth a look?
TU: NWM
TD: Yeo
Coffield to Massimno
Young to Pink
Dawson to Serong
Leaves $350ooo in bank
If you’ve got $350k in the bank, surely you can trade out someone else rather than Dawson?
Trading out Gibcus & Young
TU – D’Ambrosia & Wanganeen-milera with $60K cash remaining
OR
TD – Pink & Ryan/Stewart with not much cash
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
Or even Windsor? (higher BE)
TU: Gibcus, Reid, Young > Yeo, D’Ambrosio, Pink
TD: Young, Gibcus, Dawson > NWM, D’Ambrosio, Serong
Need help with this one!
TU – Grundy to Powell via DPP with Jackson
Berry to Dempsey
Young to Sheezel
225k ITB
TD- Grundy to Powell via DPP with Jackson
Nic Martin to Serong
Young to Sheezel
36k ITB
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?
TU Short > NWM
Martin > Butters
Mackenzie > Powell , not much money left
TD Short > Ryan
Martin> Mckercher
Mackenzie > Powell
I just realized if I go second option, I can keep Short ( not ideal), but upgrade Coff to NWM. Thoughts?
Young > MDA
S.Berry > L.Jackson
T/U T.Berry > Powell
T/D A.Sexton > Powell
Young > NWM
N. Martin > Caleb Serong
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
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
Bigger priority to turn Nic Martin into (currently have Zac Fisher at F1 for reference):
TU: Luke Jackson
TD: Serong
Got no money in the bank and Nic Martin still sitting in my midfield next week. What is a a better play this week?
TU: Luke Ryan +$102k
TD: Wanganeen Milera +$238k
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)
Which is the better option to bring in?
TU Ryan and Crouch
TD NWM and Serong
Thanks
Wines TOG 74% R1, 75% R2. Is that unders for TOG compared to other midfielders?
that is what Wines has been doing his whole career.
Trading out Young:
TU: Has to go – quicker the better
TD: Hold – He has the role, just needs to sort out his disposal
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.
Thoughts on this triple trades?
Dawson -> M Crouch
Young -> Houston
Coffield -> D’ambrosio
Bank: $0
Any other suggestions?
S.Berry- Carroll
Sexton – Powell
Hi guys,
Best out of
TU carroll
TD Dempsey…
Thanks…
TU: Gibcus, Reid, Young > Yeo, D’Ambrosio, Pink
TD: Young, Gibcus, Dawson > NWM, D’Ambrosio, Serong
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.
Understand Jackson probably better short term but for the long term
TU: Luke Ryan
TD: Luke Jackson
Alternatively
TU: Luke Ryan
TD: NWM + $150k for future weeks
cant afford Jackson what’s your thoughts on Papley?
Tu: out – young, Newcombe and gubcus
In – NWM, crouch and D’Ambrosio
Td: out – same Three
In – Yeo, Steele and D’Ambrosio
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.
Dawson > Serong
TU: Yes
TD: No
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
Young to Wines and Wines to Steele doesn’t quite make sense in that first option
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.
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..
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.
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!
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)
Young > Stewart
Wines > Serong
Grundy > Powell via DPP
TU – Yay
TD – Nay
Young is getting the bullet this week.
TU – Wanganeen-Milera
TD – Sheezel
Sheezel for mine, and it’s not close…
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
Think the first option is deadly considering it allows you to get Flanders next week. Easy decision for me
Out: Williams/Martin/Billings
In: Wanganeen-Milera/L.Jackson/Sharp
TU – Good moves
TD – Rethink
Don’t love it, Williams coming off bye will play and go up in $. Any other ways of bringing in Jackson?
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.
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.
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
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?
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
Appreciate it Abs and completely agree with you. Cheers
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
TD – No
Anyone else you can chop ?
Sanders? Like his role also now. Thinking was McKercher to make more cash quicker than H Reid.
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.
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?
Looking at 2 trades this week:
Young -> D’Ambrosio
Bonner -> Caleb Serong
T/U Good trades
T/D Nope, have another look
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..
Who’s more important to bring in?
TU Heeney
TD Powell
Sam Berry to Mckercher
Rankine to Heeney
Ash to Ambrosio
Tick. Tick. Tick
Tu: Young, S Berry to Ryan, Powell
7k in bank but likey 50 extra points this week (im a bit depleted with Green and Flanders out)
Td: Young, S Berry to Ryan, Carroll (or Sharp).
196k in the bank which allows me to go Wines to Serong next week easily
For the long run, is Whitfield back to his best? Forget about byes, who is the better pick. Whose averaging more.
TU – Whitfield
TD – NWH
Not sure of which 3 players to bring in:
D’Ambrosia, Ryan, Serong, Carroll, Jackson, Powell, Dempsey.
Options for trading out are Young, Williams, Martin, Hustwaite, Grundy
What’s the best long term decision here?
Cheers…
should i use a boost this week to get fyfe to powell? considering fyfe is a continuous sub risk and injury risk?
What’s everyones thoughts on harmes? Would be picking him up in draft
Who’s your current forwards in draft?
Macrae certain to come back. Not sure Harmes is best 22
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.
TU: J.Lyons
TD: T.Powell
TU: sharp
TD: carroll
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?
Gidday Twitch, I would,
Windsor- Mckercher
Mannagh – Sharp
Coffield to Pink?
Anyone considering M. Crouch or Setterfield as a value play?
Fyfe to T Powell ??
Don’t think I’ve seen this yet…
TU: this round, Sheezel
TD: next round, Whitfield + save an extra trade boost
TU – Young and gibcus to D’Ambrosio and wanganeen-milera (11k left in bank)
TD – Young and Berry to D’Ambrosio and Powell (230k left in bank)
Cheers
TU-Luke Ryan
TD- Tom Stewart
TU:
Young->NWM
Dawson->Serong
Reid/Coff->Massimo
TD:
Young->Massimo
Reid/Coff->Powell (via Daicos DPP)
Thanks
I see people preferring Jack Carroll to Oliver Dempsey but not sure why. Won’t Carroll’s job security be in jeopardy with Walsh, Martin and Motlop due back soon whereas Dempsey’s role and security seem solid?
Who will average more this season?
TU: Martin
TD: Wines
What to do with my team
B: Daicos, Sheezel, Young, Howes, Hore, Williams (Coffield, Reid)
MID: Bont, Tom Green, Gulden, Miller, Flanders, McKercher, Sanders, Wilson (Hustwaite, Sharp, Clark)
RUCK: Gawn, Grundy (Naismith)
FWD: Jackson, Heeney, Jordan, Reid, Sexton, Fyfe (Windsor, Cadman)
Hi Guys,
All to tricky…
Who to replace young with
TU Farrell
TD Mcgovern….
Thanks
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
Help please!!!!
Out: Newcombe, N. Martin, H. Young
In: Serong, L. Ryan, T. Powell
T/U – Nice trades!
T/D – Nope
Hi Again..
Another thought was to swap Young for
TU Sheezel
TD Steele…
Thanks
Ok, I’m going Young and Berry to NWM and Lyons but considering boosting to do:
TU: Short to Stewart
TD: Sexton/Windsor to Powell
Comment: pick who to trade out of Sexton/Windsor
Who to cull way too early:
TU: Sexton
TD: Windsor
Hey guys,
I’m thinking of the following trades.
Young-Ambrosio
Nic Martin-Serong
Wines-Steele
Good
or
Bad
Cheers
Go a week early on Sam Darcy?
TU
Out – Short, Coffield, Windsor
In – Massimo, Dempsey, Sharp
TD
Out – Short, Coffield, You g
In – Massimo, Stewart, Dempsey
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/U Yes, makes sense.
T/D Maybe but its sideways, not sure the extra trades give us that leeway.
OUT:
Young
Berry
N Martin
IN:
L Ryan
NWM
Powell
Biggest misses would be Carroll & Dempsey (Clark & Campbell on my bench instead). These 3 trades make sense?
Already locked – Young & S. Berry -> Massimo & Serong
Do I use to boost to trade out Wines/ Fyfe / Jordon -> Powell?
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.
Thanks to all those who voted on my earlier post. Think I’ve now settled on one of the following:
T/U
Out: Young, T. Berry & Gibcus
In: Massimo, Powell & Pink
T/D
Out: Young, Grundy & Fyfe
In: Massimo, English & Powell.
Cheers
To Trade in:
TU: McKercher
TD: Powell
Hi SuperCoaches,
I get that NWM and Yeo are touted as possible replacements for Young, but no one seems to be showing any love for Jordan Clark. Is he a good POD option?
Who to bring in?
TU Carroll
TD Sharp
Thanks
Young to Sheezel
Newcombe to Crouch
10k from getting Steele.
Hogan to McKercher & Coffield to Pink
$300k in the bank.
Should I do Grundy to Xerri to bank some more cash to guarantee Bonner to Tom Green next week? I have 4 swans and 0 pies for that bye week (including Grundy)
T/U – Yes get Xerri
T/D – No hold Grundy
Ultimately do I choose a very handy cash cow or chase the pts of a premium, HELP!! Please
TU: Sam Berry – Sharp
TD: Wines – Butters
DEF: Naicos, Houston, Sheez, massive, Zilliams, howes (Reid hore)
MID: Bont Green Rozee Wines Bonner Sanders Mckercher Roberts (S.Berry Wilson clark)
RUCK: Marshall Grundy (livingstone)
FWD: heeney Fisher Powell Jordan Billings Reid (cadman Sexton)
$280,000
First 2 trades are as follows:
Out: Young & Martin
In: NWM & Serong
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?
DPP after rd 6 this year.
Reid, Gibcus, Young > Pink, D’Ambrosio, Yeo
TU: Yes
TD: No
TU:
S.Berry – Powell
Bonner – sharp
Gibcus – massimo
$175k
TD:
Wines – butters
Martin – Powell
Gibcus – massimo
$105k
Axe 2 failed expensive rookies to restructure
Vs
Axe 2 failed midpricers to get 1 keeper
Young > Stewart
Gibcus > Massimo
Grundy > Powell (jackson dpp)
105 ITB
Thoughts?
Thinking of moving on Young and S. Berry. I didn’t pick up McKercher and not sure which way to go .
TU
Young to NWM
S.Berry to McKercher
And could do Wines to Crouch or just keep Wines
TD
Young to NWM
S.Berry to Sharp
Wines to Serong
Comment on keeping Wines. Thought appreciated. Cheers
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
TD: Hore
Feel free to give advice on other options I could go with too
Tossing up between two options:
Option 1:
Young -> Mass
Amon -> Serong
Gibcus -> Pink
Doing this will result in Mass at D4 and a bit thin in defence with Howes and Pink D5 and D6
Option 2:
Young -> Stewart/Ryan
Amon -> T.Powell (Via jordan DPP)
Gibucs -> Pink
Another option is to go Amon -> Lyons
Young – Stewart/Ryan
TU
Young -> Serong
S. Berry -> Massimo
TD
Young -> NWM
Coffield -> Massimo
S. Berry -> Powell
Cheers everyone!
TU: Young > Bramble, Martin > Serong
TD: Young > NWM, Martin > Serong, Windsor > Carroll (not ideal but needed to fund martin to serong)
Trades this week:
-Coffield to Yeo
-Young to Stewart
– Newcombe to Butters
Just couldn’t afford Milera so settled on yeo to get butters. Thoughts?
Could you do Serong instead of Butters potentially to facilitate NAS?
Already got him
Gidday Twitch, I would,
Windsor- Mckercher
Mannagh – Sharp
S.Berry to McKercher is locked in
T.Berry to Dempsey is locked in
Will still have Cadman sexton Flanders not playing in my fwd line
T/u Young to Ryan and field 21 for the week
T/d sexton to Darcy
Fisher Fyfe Coffield
for
LRyan Sharp Mannagh
Hi guys,
What would you do…
TU Keep young and get powell
TD trade young and get a rookie
Thanks
Tu – T Berry to Dempsey
Td – Sexton to Dempsey
Comment for neither.
Thanks all!
Hi guys,
Your thoughts…
TU Young to milers
TD young to Farrell
Or comments
Thanks
That was Milera…
Trade Which of the below to Powell?
TU: Fisher
TD: Wines
If you have to keep one, who do you keep….
TU Shaun Mannagh
TD Jhye Clark
Thanks!
Young -> D’Ambrosio
Burgess -> Powell
Thoughts ?
Trade Young for:
TU: Sheezel
TD: NWM
Who is the biggest must trade out of
TU Short
TD Young
Use the boost this week if you use one last week?
Tu Yes, Td No
Tu: S Berry, Young to Ryan, Powell, keep extra trade and boost up sleeve
Td: S Berry, Young, Wines to Ryan, Serong, Carroll
If i went for first option, next weeks plan is Jordon to Darcy then Wines to Serong
Who to bring in as part of my trades:
TU: Ryan
TD: Serong (or Butters)
OUT – Gibcus, Clark & Berry
IN – D’Ambrosia, Carroll & Dempsey
Gibcus injured (still have Coffield & Z Reid), Clark & Berry will be slow burns, so looking to maximise cash growth. Passing on Powell for his cost.
TU : Good plan
TD : No
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
If you were going to trade out one of these for an upgrade this week, which one?
TU: H Young
TD: N Martin
Trade out Winsor for:
TU: J.Lyons
TD: McKercher
Wanting to hear some thoughts on the below.
Coffield -> Pink
Young -> NWM/Ryan
Wines/Martin -> Powell
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.
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.
Thanks mate, appreciate it.
Shortly after posting this last night I made the decision to go
Young -> Ryan
Wines -> Powell
Your comment has only reassured my thoughts, cheers!
For boost trade this week
Grundy to serong +120k (via dpp) OR
Jordan to M Crouch/Steele + 75k/45k
Have done gibcus and young to massimo and powell already
For a boost trade this week
Grundy to serong +120k (via dpp) OR
Jordan to M Crouch/Steele + 75k/45k
0
Could trade fyfe instead of Jordan but can only get m Crouch and not Steele
Is H.Young a must trade to NMW
TU: TARDE
TD: HOLD
Howdy all, it seems there is much work to do among us all.
Young/Short/Dawson gonski.
All roles are just horrible and Young likely to tag JD this week just for emphasis.
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.
550K, to correct the above.
Sexton to Sam Darcy?
Wait a week or two until he is on the bubble at least.
They will both be in the cash zone in rd 4 anyway and Darcy’s ability to score might be handy this week.
If trading Sexton for Darcy is your game, then it may as well be this week.
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
Cheers in advance.
Which trade option? Trading out Young, Berry, Martin for:
TU: L.Ryan, McKercher, Powell
TD: NWM, McKercher, Serong
Is Dempsey a must get?
Current fwd rookies are;
Reid, Sexton, Khamis & Cadman.
Thinking to use a boost this week:
H. Young > T. Stewart
N. Martin > C. Serong
J.Newcombe > T. Powell
TU – Looks good
TD – Rethink it/look towards rookie replacements
TU: YEO
TD: NMW
See Fallen premiums … NMW for durability. Yeo will likely break down at some point unfortunately.
Trying to decide what’s best to do. I seem to be killing all the defensive rookies, even thinking about them has led to injuries (Trezise now injured and I was contemplating him for next week).
I have Reid and Coffield on the bench (already have Massimo who I brought in for Gibcus).
TU: Bring in Pink (scoring not great but two dead rookies not making $ is concerning).
TD: Wait for someone else and don’t worry about defensive rookie $ for now.
Worner back next week and Phillips likely too… can wait for fresh rookies if you have more needy trades. It’s only best 18 so bench players not so much a worry.
TU: Lazzarro/Clark – Carroll
TD: Coffield – Pink (gives me 22)
Hi guys,
Fyfe subbed last week…
TU Hold
TD Trade..
Thoughts.
Thanks
Who do you think is the better option?
TU D’Ambrosio
TD Dempsey + the extra $76,500 for next week.
Noting – defence rookies are much more limited with Reid, Gibcus, Cofield being injured….
Locked :
Young > Massimo
S. Berry > Butters
TU – Jordon > T. Powell, Jordon already made some cash and with players returning may be pushed to a worser role.
TD – Hold Jordon till his bye, make some more coin off him and re assess.
Who to target this week;
TU – Serong (1k ITB)
TD – Powell (leaves 300k ITB for next week)
any love for lachie bramble? two solid scores and a low BE- already have massimo and looking for a cheap def…..
T/U yes
T/D trap
Have I missed the boat on Heeney? Wanted to bring him in but held Young. Trading Young, Short and Sexton for Sheez, Heeney and Pink.
TU: RYAN
TD: SHEEZEL
Is having Pink in the rear essential?
Or is Powell up top a better trade..
t/u Pink
t/d Powell
Is it worth trading Windsor -> Sanders
Purely for cash gen
Hey guys, thinking of the following.
Young-Ambrosio
Martin-Serong
Windsor-Powell
Yes
or
No
Cheers
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
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.
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
Only made the single trade last week (Lazzaro to T.Berry) to gauge Massimo and co. The Coffield injury and Young’s horrendous form adds salt to the wound.
DEF: Daicos, Houston, Sheezel, Young, Gibcus, Howes (Reid, Coffield)
MID: Bont, Dawson, Butters, LDU, Serong, Roberts, McKercher, Sanders (Sharp, Clark, Mannagh)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Livingstone)
FWDS; Fisher, J.Jordon, Fyfe, Reid, Windsor, Wilson (Sexton, T.Berry)
$58,100 ITB
Thinking Young, Gibcus, and Coffield > NWM, Mass, and Pink
Open to ears to any feedback or advice!
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
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
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
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.
In: T. Stewart, M. D’Ambrosio, J. Carroll
Out: H. Young, N. Martin, N. Coffield
T/U:
T/D:
With 3 injured rookie defenders, action is required so have decided on Young & Gibcus OUT for D’Ambrosia & Pink IN. Then for my 1st boost –
TU : Berry for Powell
TD: N Martin for Serong
you can wait on the injured defender rookies and trade them out round 7 after DPP’s. If you have Roberts/Martin/Fisher in team, you can trade the dead rookies for rookies on other lines vis DPP
Trading out Young, Dawson & Grundy
Must bring in Massimo and Heeney
TU
Serong 285k itb (only single upgrade to Miller next week)
TD
Powell 590k itb (double upgrade Miller and one of Steele/Flanders/Whitfield next week better cash gen)
Other below
TU
Steele 375k (potential to double upgrade next week but would have to cull Jordon/Fyfe early)
TU: Out Gibcus Coffield and Sexton
In Dambrossio, Pink, Dempsey.
Miss out on McKercher as can’t afford him or DPP for Sexton.
TD: Out Gibcus, Wehr
In: Pink & McKercher. Pink plays on field with 2 injured on the def line.
If you had to choose:
TU: Powell
TD: Xerri
TU/TD on these moves please:
Gibcus – Dambrosio
Windsor – Fyfe
Berry – Dempsey
I have no other pressing issues on my team and would love to get fyfe/lyons in for points.
good chance Fyfe will be subbed again.
Only had a 6 day break since last game.
Gibcus > Mass
Martin > Powell via DPP
Coffield > Pink
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.
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
Should I do:
Young -> Dambrosio
Coffield -> Pink
Sexton -> Powell
$186k left in the bank
Who are other players / backline rookies to consider? I already have Howes and Hore.
two options. First is the ‘straight-bat’ approach and build some cash and the second is get Serong!
TU: Coffield > Massimo
and Sexton to McKertcher
TD: Coffield > Massimo
Martin > Serong
Fisher > Mckertcher
T/U- Jordan Clark
T/D- Bramble
TU – Trade out Newcombe
TD – Trade out Young
