OUT: Jordon (not much more to make, scores may be impacted by returns)
Fyfe CG done, increasingly risky.
Coffield (gets Pink on the bench alongside Reid, to be dealt with later)
IN: Heeney (returns won’t stop the H-train)
S Darcy (can be bench, looped with Sexton)
Bramble (points rather than CG)
TU Sexton to Dempsey (Sexton BE -, non -playing this week though a bit of money to make IF he plays defence. Pointless if sent forward again Vs Dempsey: BE -71, plays today and I may need his score to try and win a league game)
Fisher is definitely gone.
The other will be either Lyons or H Reid depending on whether Lyons is playing and is not the sub.
Coming in will be either Zorko or McKay. Probably Zorko as he has the half back distributor role with Coleman and McKenna out.
Even though Ollie Wines has been scoring 90’s he is on notice.
I forgot to mention that the other inclusion will be Darcy.
The spectre of Lobb coming in will always be there.
The more concerning issue is the Bevo factor
Hey Shaggi , I think the point of Wines was premium level scoring at an unders price and have him at m5/6 to start with. While 90’s is passable he’s not getting the cg needed from that spot. It’s for this reason that I moved him for Powell for this round, similar scoring much more cg. He was my m6. If you can find a suitable trade for him I would do it. Good luck!
To follow it up, williams looks like he hasnt played for 2 years, jordan looks like someone who a team delisted and fyfe was good 10 years ago…..draper, powell and flanders might be no good but they have more chance than the other 3….
Gawn has a bye soon but the price rises will probably put him out of reach after the bye.
Darcy could be booted by Bevo for Lobb after his 5 goal haul.
I’m thinking Jordon > Powell while he’s still in range. Choosing Jordon over Fyfe as the trade for a couple reasons. One, Adams and Parker are coming back in the next week or two, which will certainly affect his scoring. Secondly their bye coming up as well. Fyfe’s average and BE has been slightly affect by the 3QT subbing out that happened the previous round, so realistically would’ve been better had he played that entire game. I’ll be trying to hold onto him until the first bunch of bye are all done at least. That should be the only trade I’m doing this round.
TU: Yeah, will be a handy trade and while he’s still gettable
TD: Nah, keep Jordon until he peaks
Is trading Dawson out the right call? I suspect that he will become a target in a few weeks once he has bottomed out. To get the target I want in Green or Merrett, I’d need to use a second boost for the year – not sure if that’s a good call either – not sure how many people have used so far.
My initial thoughts on a trade are:
OUT: Jordon and Billings
IN: Powell and Dempsey
TU: Trade Dawson to Green/Merrett and go down to 3 boosts
TD: Hold onto Dawson and keep 4 boosts for later on this season
I just don’t see Dawson going from one of the best ball users in the comp to one of the worst for the whole year. He’s still racking it up so will come good. You trade him now and you’re locking in that cash loss
If Adelaide’s midfield continue to not be able to work it out, he will lose more cash and score less – I think that’s also something that comes into it. I haven’t seen enough of Adelaide’s games but from the short bits I have seen, I’m not sure that there’s a lot to change that will make his scoring better.
If Dawson scores his current 3 game ave (82) for the next 3 games he’ll be about 495k = drop another 100k
it’s still viable to sideways him to any premo that’s firing and pickup 20-60 points per round and get him back later when you cashout a Roberts/Sanders/McKercher type.
I’m turning him into King and using the surplus to turn Grundy into Gawn. Picks up 55 pts p/week on current aves and pockets 100k
After re-evaluation I’m gonna move LDU this week and use my boost this week instead. There’s no real rookies on the horizon next week for my original plan, and God forbid LDU burns me 2 years in a row…
This week: LDU, Billings & Fyfe to Green, Flanders & Darcy
Next week a cashed up rookie and Jordon to a sub-600k premo and rookie!
Heeney about to become unreachable in my opinion with his next few games, and getting off Dawson before he loses another 50k. Could pick up cheaper in the couple weeks when he picks up…
Swap him for heeney
If Dawson scores his current 3 game ave (82) for the next 3 games he’ll be about 495k = drop another 100k and still be overpriced.
it’s still viable to sideways him to any premo that’s firing and pickup 20-60 points per round and get Dawson back later when you cashout a Roberts/Sanders/McKercher type.
Trading Jordon before his bye is fine, no worries there. Would either be trading him to a premo who you think will be in the top 6/8 of their line, or a rookie who will make plenty of money.
How many trades left Matt? And how much in the bank?
Very good midfield for round 4, rucks standard. Fwds good too but plenty advice above re Jordan job security in next few sounds.
Could sit tight, but if you still have 37+ trades, could look at Hore trade as he’s out for a few weeks after surgery. Swap to Brown with good js and cash Gen
He looks like a very good footballer. He and Sharp combine well. I think Longmire will put games into both of them this year.

A post to Doggies supporters or those that watch a lot footy, any comments pls 🙂
Bramble? has posted 3 decent scores and I’m tempted at his current price (DEF). What’s his role? Will Richard’s return impact his scoring? Any risk of being Bevvo-ed?
I normally don’t like sideways trading. Especially trading a player away that’s in form..
But my team is ranked 680th and my midfield feels really solid, but I don’t have touk. I have the funds to sideways crouch to touk.
I have a feeling crouch will be the scape goat of the crows poor form and will either get less usage, less TOG, or maybe even dropped from the side as crazy as that sounds.. I also haven’t used a boost yet and have 36 trades left.
Is crouch to touk a good or bad idea?
Harvey Thomas or Sam Draper is my dilemma this week.
Thomas 175k M/F, scoring 50 + 50, goes up $84k. Coach likes him so job security looks good. DPP allows me to swing Lazzaro, Wilson or Reid from mids to forward if needed.
Darcy 124k F, a pair of 42’s sees him rise $76k. Rory Lobb waiting in the wings and coached by Bevo, so job security?? Possible ruck DPP after R6 if he stays in the side.
Already have Dempsey, Cadman, and Sexton as forward rookies.
Dawson is poor right now, will he improve enough to hold?? I have Father Dougal’s sage advice ringing in my ears : “never side-ways trade a Premium, you picked him for a reason, remember that”…dunno if that’s word-for-word but something like that. Dawson is poor though….
So, do I :
T/U: Dawson to Serong
T/D: Xerri to Gawn or Tingles
Our Father,who art in super coach heaven(and is greatly missed) also based all his theory on times of less trades. Maybe one or two sideways trades is now a blessed idea…
Basically is it worth holding Bonner for cash. Or going early to get green now worth it.
Will have a midfield of serong, butters, green, steel and crouch. So a weak midfield without the trade.
TU – keep Bonner for cash.
TD – get green now for a solid midfield.
Anyone else a bit concerned about leaving the forward line exposed? All of the cash for trades (Fyfe, Jordan, Fisher, Cadman/Khamis/Darcy/Dempsey etc) are coming from there, and all of the trade in targets bar Flanders / Heeney are on other lines. Thinking if not careful we could be stressing over F5 / F6 with not many good candidates.
Shai Bolton has consistently taken 50% CBAs and really turned it on last week with a few good games coming up. I know he is up and down but across the season should do enough to be in the mix for the forward line (especially with not much DPP showing up so far.
Thinking of getting rid of Jordan, Fyfe and Fisher to bring in Flanders and Bolton, leaving me with what looks like five of the top forwards (Heen, Fland, Jacks, Powell, Bolton) and just have to field an F6. Otherwise will do a simple Fisher or Fyfe + Sam Berry to Darcy and Flanders.
TU – Get Bolton and Flanders and sure up the forward line with players at the bottom of their price
TD – Just get Flanders, forward line isn’t a concern
At 65 average Reid still has 80+ k to make, if you have him why would you trade him? Especially given he’s only 3 games in and is every chance to increase his output!
Jeez! 0-3 from a pretty solid line-up is tough indeed. Hmmm…
Can you find a way to get Jackson into FWD and have another solid Ruck?
Otherwise I can’t really see where you might boost just yet without further CG from Rookies to upgrade
Thanks mate! I reckon I’ll try trade one or two of the mid pricers (Jordan at this stage) and perhaps one other to get an upgrade at Ruck. Who is the best option there in your view?
Solid team Simon, unlucky to be 0-3, Capt choice was probably critical. Must have the right rookies on field, Sanders & Cadman (this week) and not a fan of Duursma. good luck
Thanks mate, Yep I think that’s what has cost me. Picking the player that went big the week before as captain has killed me (Jackson into Bont this week wasn’t ideal).
Yeah, solid team. Maybe Duursma or Windsor down to Darcy and see what that lets you do with a Jordon upgrade perhaps? Honestly would just trust that the wins start coming for you with this side
Thanks Johnno, I think you’re on the money with Duursma, I just don’t see a lot more cash generation there. He will be a gun but was worried before to the season that he wouldn’t make a massive amount, should have went with gut.
Good team. Hard to improve but maybe Zac Williams>Cheaper (Brown/Draper) to allow Duursma upgrade to Powell. Might lose 10 points on the Williams downgrade but pick it up plus some with the Duursma upgrade
Alternatively Duursma>SamDarcy for a bit more bank. Jordan upgrade next week
GL
Trade out – Howes, Windsor, Jordan
Trade In – Draper, Flanders and Darcy
Flanders will most likely be a top 6 forward, Darcy and Draper can be cash gen. Have Hore/Reid on back line bench so thinking can swing Hore & Draper as D6. Thoughts.
Ok… can anyone confirm that Fish has halved his ownership% again?
Was 40% then 20% now 10%???
WTF are people doing trading him out with a BE of 47??? Surely Fish has more to give. 1 bad game and a 70 and a ton
Brisbane this week – I’m backing him in for at least a 90….. That will be the kick start to him getting to 425k just in time for his bye and Bamma a Premo.
It’s a marathon not a sprint.
Also 40 trades!! Use them. Generate that cash!
Billings, Jordan and ROB are dead to me…
Welcome Maxxy, Brambles and Darcy!!
Ranked 100k after a horrible start but was ranked 9k for the round…
Bring on Thursday!!
Fisher started at 378,600 and will make about $40K , there was plenty of FWD rookies that are going to make 80 to 120K and that 250K difference may have got you a premium in your starting lineup. Just my take on Fisher
Fyfe or Jordon..probably Fyfe if it was me. I have Darcy – but – Bevo is forever a worry…just as likely he tosses his magnets and Lobb lobs back in this week…
What’s the chance of McKay or King being top forwards by the year end- can see a couple of good options in forward line with Heeney & Jackson- but even they’ve been unreliable in the past.
Anyone want to go out on a limb and name top 6 forwards by year end?
Interesting the number of trades being used, I have a reasonable team, top 5%, I consider I have 13 premiums, therefore 9 more to get to full premium without backup, as there are no Michael Barlow’s running around it will take 3 trades per premium, so 27 trades required without allowing for injuries and bye coverage. If your trades are already in the low 30’s and have used 2 or 3 boosts, you are dead in the water.
My historical average is around 2.5 trades and last year I finished with 1 trade which fortunately let me get a POD to win my cash league.
Rookie average at 60 points = 3 trades
Rookie average at 70 points = 2 trades
Currently my rookies are averaging 71.1 so I could see it taking around 18 trades.
Whilst we’ve been lucky in the past with Daicos, Sheezel, Brodie, Briggs etc. which cost 1 trade this year I think it’s a different ball game.
Not a lot of options in the forward line, so we could see less trades to get to a premo (typically $650k), and there will be a bit of value in the fallen premo $550k range in the midfield.
All of this is predicated on good solid rookies making money, so if people are trading zeros to hero’s then go for it…. Noting that based on your average of 3 trades per premium you’re going to have to find 18 NEW rookies over the season.
Hi guys…
Only 361 points behind leaders.

Negs-It’s my second boost use for the year
Pos- Get a Premo in(Whitfield)
Good trades?
TU Yes- that’s the way to get to a Premo side
TD No- Whitfield is an injury worry
3 of your 4 lines are solid. FWD’s too thin IMO. I’d be looking to improve there, Heeney, Flanders, Powell etc. Possibly Jackson, though I’d be watching returning Ruck Darcy impact on Jacko’s scoring first.
Is it worth trading Errol to Matt Rowell? Errol underperfoming and his bye is up soon. Also, is it worth trading someone like Darcy Wilson to Sam Darcy?
Hasn’t been a good start to the year for my team (2 weeks of H.Young before trading him, Dawson, no Heeney etc.)
Not having Heeney has killed me, is it worth getting him now with bye next week or have I missed the boat? Upgrading Fisher and have approx $600k to spend.
Their breakevens are quite similar, I think Green is a near must-have from what we’ve seen thus far, Touk has a better immediate fixture.
I’m opting to just grab Green before his price hits that 670k+ range that it seems to be heading toward. Last year I was never able to get English in due to his price, and don’t want a repeat of that…
Not a must but I’m getting him this week because he will be a better scorer than the Rookies for the next 3 or 4 weeks and I can’t get to a fwd premo just yet in that price bracket. If you are going for points overall then do it but if you are going for leagues I’d hold fire. Should get DPP as well.
IN: Flanders, dempsey and Darcy.
$280k for next week, Hopefully steele or English.
Jordan’s on the bye next week so happy to move him on. Fisher is being out scored by dempsey so why not bank $160k and have demps make me another $100k, Billings I don’t need to explain.

I’m turning him into King and using the surplus to turn Grundy into Gawn. Picks up 55 pts p/week on current aves and pockets 100k

I don’t see Dawson sticking around the 80 avg, he’ll go off soon enough. Its more about getting heeney before he hits 650k +

Thomas 175k M/F, scoring 50 + 50, goes up $84k. Coach likes him so job security looks good. DPP allows me to swing Lazzaro, Wilson or Reid from mids to forward if needed.
Darcy 124k F, a pair of 42’s sees him rise $76k. Rory Lobb waiting in the wings and coached by Bevo, so job security?? Possible ruck DPP after R6 if he stays in the side.
Already have Dempsey, Cadman, and Sexton as forward rookies.
T/U Thomas
T/D Darcy
Z.Reid + Wines + Fisher > Draper + Whitfield + Powell
TU: Looks good
TD: sideway trades, back to the drawing board
TU – Whitfield
TD – Jordan Clark
Thanks
Dawson is poor right now, will he improve enough to hold?? I have Father Dougal’s sage advice ringing in my ears : “never side-ways trade a Premium, you picked him for a reason, remember that”…dunno if that’s word-for-word but something like that. Dawson is poor though….
So, do I :
T/U: Dawson to Serong
T/D: Xerri to Gawn or Tingles
Our Father,who art in super coach heaven(and is greatly missed) also based all his theory on times of less trades. Maybe one or two sideways trades is now a blessed idea…
Out – fisher, Bonner.
In -Green, S Darcy.
Basically is it worth holding Bonner for cash. Or going early to get green now worth it.
Will have a midfield of serong, butters, green, steel and crouch. So a weak midfield without the trade.
TU – keep Bonner for cash.
TD – get green now for a solid midfield.
Jordon to Darcy?
Is Darcy a must have? Feel like bevo is quite untrustworthy
Due to the fact I have English, Darcy ain’t going anywhere…
Anyone else a bit concerned about leaving the forward line exposed? All of the cash for trades (Fyfe, Jordan, Fisher, Cadman/Khamis/Darcy/Dempsey etc) are coming from there, and all of the trade in targets bar Flanders / Heeney are on other lines. Thinking if not careful we could be stressing over F5 / F6 with not many good candidates.
Shai Bolton has consistently taken 50% CBAs and really turned it on last week with a few good games coming up. I know he is up and down but across the season should do enough to be in the mix for the forward line (especially with not much DPP showing up so far.
Thinking of getting rid of Jordan, Fyfe and Fisher to bring in Flanders and Bolton, leaving me with what looks like five of the top forwards (Heen, Fland, Jacks, Powell, Bolton) and just have to field an F6. Otherwise will do a simple Fisher or Fyfe + Sam Berry to Darcy and Flanders.
TU – Get Bolton and Flanders and sure up the forward line with players at the bottom of their price
TD – Just get Flanders, forward line isn’t a concern
Would love to hear what anyone thinks!
Reid to Dempsey
T/U: Pointless
T:/D: Do it
coffield + wines + fisher > heeney + draper + darcy
thoughts?
What do you think of the following 2 trades?
Fyfe, Jordan -> Darcy, Flanders
does karl worner (136k DEF) play this week after his concussion in round 1?
TU:
This week:
Z. Williams > Draper
Fyfe > Powell
Jordon > Flanders
Next week: No trade
———————————
TD:
This week:
Howes > Draper
H. Reid > Powell
Next week:
Cadman > Rookie
Jordon > Flanders
(Hold Fyfe & Z. Williams)
At 65 average Reid still has 80+ k to make, if you have him why would you trade him? Especially given he’s only 3 games in and is every chance to increase his output!
At current price and considering what their ROS output will be. Trade in this week:
TU: Touk
TD: Flanders
Advice needed guys,
Have started 0-3 in my league, narrowing losing all. What changes (if any) do I make to this team? Have 88k in the bank
DEF: Stewart, Daicos, Sheezel, D’Ambrosio, Williams, Howes (Pink, Z.Reid)
MID: Bontempelli, Green, Butters, Rowell, Steele, Jordan, Roberts, McKercher (Sanders, Windsor, Clark)
RUCK: L. Jackson, Grundy (Livingston)
FWD: Heeney, Flanders, H.Reid, Dempsey, Duursma, Sexton (Cadman, Wilson)
Jeez! 0-3 from a pretty solid line-up is tough indeed. Hmmm…
Can you find a way to get Jackson into FWD and have another solid Ruck?
Otherwise I can’t really see where you might boost just yet without further CG from Rookies to upgrade
Thanks mate! I reckon I’ll try trade one or two of the mid pricers (Jordan at this stage) and perhaps one other to get an upgrade at Ruck. Who is the best option there in your view?
Solid team Simon, unlucky to be 0-3, Capt choice was probably critical. Must have the right rookies on field, Sanders & Cadman (this week) and not a fan of Duursma. good luck
Thanks mate, Yep I think that’s what has cost me. Picking the player that went big the week before as captain has killed me (Jackson into Bont this week wasn’t ideal).
Yeah, solid team. Maybe Duursma or Windsor down to Darcy and see what that lets you do with a Jordon upgrade perhaps? Honestly would just trust that the wins start coming for you with this side
Thanks Johnno, I think you’re on the money with Duursma, I just don’t see a lot more cash generation there. He will be a gun but was worried before to the season that he wouldn’t make a massive amount, should have went with gut.
Good team. Hard to improve but maybe Zac Williams>Cheaper (Brown/Draper) to allow Duursma upgrade to Powell. Might lose 10 points on the Williams downgrade but pick it up plus some with the Duursma upgrade
Alternatively Duursma>SamDarcy for a bit more bank. Jordan upgrade next week
GL
Cheers Cecil, pretty much what I’m thinking.. bloody hope I can get a win without making too much change
Is Jordon to Powell trade worth it?
Goal for powell to average 85+ plus and a F5/6 keeper
Jordon & Fisher both probably need to go. Thoughts on this scenario?
OUT: Jordon & Fisher
IN: Draper via DPP (or another rookie) & Heeney
TU: Yep, good call
TD: No, hold those mid pricers – they’ll come good
Comment alternate thoughts below.
Trade out – Howes, Windsor, Jordan
Trade In – Draper, Flanders and Darcy
Flanders will most likely be a top 6 forward, Darcy and Draper can be cash gen. Have Hore/Reid on back line bench so thinking can swing Hore & Draper as D6. Thoughts.
Hore to miss 3-4 weeks with a fractured thumb
TU: Jordon> Darcy
Howes > Whitfield
TD: Save trades
Hore out with Thump. Howes get more ball?
Ok… can anyone confirm that Fish has halved his ownership% again?
Was 40% then 20% now 10%???
WTF are people doing trading him out with a BE of 47??? Surely Fish has more to give. 1 bad game and a 70 and a ton
Brisbane this week – I’m backing him in for at least a 90….. That will be the kick start to him getting to 425k just in time for his bye and Bamma a Premo.
It’s a marathon not a sprint.
Also 40 trades!! Use them. Generate that cash!
Billings, Jordan and ROB are dead to me…
Welcome Maxxy, Brambles and Darcy!!
Ranked 100k after a horrible start but was ranked 9k for the round…
Bring on Thursday!!
Fisher started at 378,600 and will make about $40K , there was plenty of FWD rookies that are going to make 80 to 120K and that 250K difference may have got you a premium in your starting lineup. Just my take on Fisher
Tu- Jordon, wines- Dempsey and Steele
Td- Hold wines and Jordon for another week
(Used two boost already)
Wines to miss this week with hamstring soreness but expected to play the following week.
Forward line of Fisher, Powell, Jordon ,Fyfe, Reid ,Dempsey – Wilson and Cadman
Comment who to get rid of for Sam Darcy
Fyfe or Jordon..probably Fyfe if it was me. I have Darcy – but – Bevo is forever a worry…just as likely he tosses his magnets and Lobb lobs back in this week…
Fisher – Darcy
Fyfe – Touk
Is it worth blowing a trade to switch Fisher->Powell?
What are their BE and $price change for this coming week.
Will Powell keep up his good numbers?
Fisher B/E 47 expected price change $10,500
Powell B/E -6 expected price change $40,400
Is Reid to Draper a silly trade?
TU / Do it you clever thing
TD / Silly trade
Z Reid? If so, yes. If not no imo
Thinking of these two trades for next week.
Billings > Darcy
Fyfe > Powell
Thoughts?
What’s the chance of McKay or King being top forwards by the year end- can see a couple of good options in forward line with Heeney & Jackson- but even they’ve been unreliable in the past.
Anyone want to go out on a limb and name top 6 forwards by year end?
Is it worth getting rid of fisher and Jordon in order to bring in Sam Darcy and Gawn via dpp
TU – Need gawn before hes 700k
TD – waste
Hi guys,
Considering Stewart or Clark this week.
TU if I go Clark next week I can get English.
TD if I go Stewart I can go Marshall plus 100k
Thanks
Interesting the number of trades being used, I have a reasonable team, top 5%, I consider I have 13 premiums, therefore 9 more to get to full premium without backup, as there are no Michael Barlow’s running around it will take 3 trades per premium, so 27 trades required without allowing for injuries and bye coverage. If your trades are already in the low 30’s and have used 2 or 3 boosts, you are dead in the water.
My historical average is around 2.5 trades and last year I finished with 1 trade which fortunately let me get a POD to win my cash league.
Rookie average at 60 points = 3 trades
Rookie average at 70 points = 2 trades
Currently my rookies are averaging 71.1 so I could see it taking around 18 trades.
Whilst we’ve been lucky in the past with Daicos, Sheezel, Brodie, Briggs etc. which cost 1 trade this year I think it’s a different ball game.
Not a lot of options in the forward line, so we could see less trades to get to a premo (typically $650k), and there will be a bit of value in the fallen premo $550k range in the midfield.
All of this is predicated on good solid rookies making money, so if people are trading zeros to hero’s then go for it…. Noting that based on your average of 3 trades per premium you’re going to have to find 18 NEW rookies over the season.
Which belated rookie downgrade to allow me to get Gawn?
TU: H. Reid (22 BE) to Dempsey (-19 BE) or Buku (-43 BE)
TD: S. Campbell (-9 BE) to Thomas (-52 BE) or Burgess (-29 BE)
TU: Dempsey
TD: Buku
TU: Thomas
TD: Burgess
DEF: Stewart, Daicos, Sheezel, H Young, Ambrosio, Williams,
INT: Howes, Coffield
MID: Bontempeli, Green, Butters, J Kelly, Wines, Mckercher, Sanders, Sharp
INT: Hustwaite, Wilson, Clark
RUCK: Marhsall, Grundy
INT: Livingstone
FWD: Flanders, Fyfe, H Reid, Z Duursma, Cambell, Sexton
INT: S Darcy, Lefau
BANK: 196k
SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!
Would look at upgrading Wines Fyfe & Duursma when its time to cull your rookies i.e. your rookies average is close to their BE
Tu- Miller
td- steele
Jordon to Darcy ahead of his bye, Fyfe to Tom Green. Holding Bonner. Only issue is my forward line looks a lot worse.
Heeney, Flanders Powell, Reid, Campbell, Cadman (Wilson, Darcy)
Still do the trades?
Yes
No
Hi guys…
Only 361 points behind leaders.
Thinking Coffield to Darcy
Jordan to Dempsey
Wines to Clark fix backline….
Leaving cash to go Grundy to Marshall….
TU
TD
Thanks for thoughts…
You’ve probably missed too much of Dempsey’s price rise, 70K last week, maybe Jordan to Darcy
Feeling good about team is Darcy a must get this week?
If you have a non performing fwd rookie Darcy is a good option bepending on Beveridge’s love for Lobbe
Thoughts on this trade
Billing > Gawn via DPP
Sexton > Darcy
Howes > Draper
TU – do it
TD – nah
Out Howes, Jordan and Windsor
In Whitfield, Darcy and Thomas
Negs-It’s my second boost use for the year
Pos- Get a Premo in(Whitfield)
Good trades?
TU Yes- that’s the way to get to a Premo side
TD No- Whitfield is an injury worry
Looking at Howes to Brown and Berry to Darcy, but then:
TU – wines to Miller
TD – Jordon to Powell
Cheers
Rozee > touk/butters
Why ???
Rozee isn’t a footballer anymore he’s started his butchers apprenticeship.
I’m thinking of all those that traded Young and Martin…..SC101 re sideways trades and all
Has Young turned the corner ???
TU Yes
TD No..trap
Is Jordan Dawson to Touk Miller a good trade?
TU- Yes
TD- No, waste of a trade
The time to trade Dawson was last week imo. Think you ride it out until he comes good. Be shocked if he didnt drastically improve his efficiency
What to do with LDU
Tu Hold
TD Trade and miss a cash gen rookie and get Tom Green
Same conundrum. I’ve come to the conclusion if you can bring him in without sacrificing structure or upgrade plans, do it.
How does shifting LDU to Green effect your trades this week and next week?
These are my options
TU ldu Coffield Billings out
In Green Brown Dempsey
TD Berry Billings Coffield
In Brown Dempsey Powell
TU: T Brown
TD: J Draper
I’d go Brown if I could afford him, however I need the extra $30k for my other trade so I’m going Draper.
37 trades remaining, 65K
Where would be biggest priorities here?
DEF: Ryan, Stewart, Daicos, sheezel, d’ambrosio, Howes (Reid and coffield)
MID: bont, green, butters, touk, crouch, roberts, mckercher, sanders (lyons, Windsor, sharp)
RUCK: English, Grundy (Naismith)
FWD: Jordan, Fyfe, Reid, cadman, berry, sexton (wilson, mannagh)
3 of your 4 lines are solid. FWD’s too thin IMO. I’d be looking to improve there, Heeney, Flanders, Powell etc. Possibly Jackson, though I’d be watching returning Ruck Darcy impact on Jacko’s scoring first.
Is it worth trading Errol to Matt Rowell? Errol underperfoming and his bye is up soon. Also, is it worth trading someone like Darcy Wilson to Sam Darcy?
I’d wait a week on Errol, his BE is only in the 120’s and he has the Eagles this week who I expect he goes 130+ on.
You can also have another look at Rowell, Miller, Steele etc if you still want to move Gulden on.
who to upgrade to Flanders:
TU: Fisher
TD: Jordon
Leaning towards Fish as I can trade Jordon on his bye next week
Hasn’t been a good start to the year for my team (2 weeks of H.Young before trading him, Dawson, no Heeney etc.)
Not having Heeney has killed me, is it worth getting him now with bye next week or have I missed the boat? Upgrading Fisher and have approx $600k to spend.
TU: Heeney
TD: Miller/Whitfield/Steele
Is it worth trading Fyfe -> Darcy and pocketing $200k?
2 sideways trades:
Fisher to Powell
Z.Reid to Draper
Thoughts?
Is it worth looking at parfitt
Does he hold his spot?
Wines to parfitt
Allows me to bring in a premium
TU: Steele
TD: Whitfield
34 trades used (including ones made this week) and 4 boosts left.
Worth using a boost to get Draper or Brown in for coffield to help cash gen (D6 Howes, D7 Reid, D8 Coffield).
Or better to hold trade and boost given best 18 coming up and dpp changes
Jordon > Darcy
Windsor > Steele
Any love for Max King as a sideways from Jordan?
-29 breakeven and could possibly make a quick 100K.
Best 18 next two rounds, I’m personally on the guns and rookies train now, no more mid pricers for mine…
Midfield ugrade target from Fyfe
TU: Touk Miller
TD: Jack Steele
Touk has better immediate fixtures which is what would swing me towards picking Miller.
T/U: Wilson to Darcy
T/D: Jordon and Howes to Bramble and Darcy
TU:
Howes > Draper
Jordon > Flanders
TD:
Z.Williams > Draper
Jordon > Flanders
Fyfe > Powell
Howes to Tom Brown?
Coffield/Z.Reid/Hore in that order would be better than Howes. If your D6 is playing then I’d personally hold.
Need help.
TU: Tom Green
TD: Touk + 50k
Their breakevens are quite similar, I think Green is a near must-have from what we’ve seen thus far, Touk has a better immediate fixture.
I’m opting to just grab Green before his price hits that 670k+ range that it seems to be heading toward. Last year I was never able to get English in due to his price, and don’t want a repeat of that…
TU- Reid and Howes to 250k forward and bramble
TD don’t do it
Is Tom Powell a must if you didn’t get him last week? Team high CBA’s, looks like a top 6 fwd
Tu or Td
Not a must but I’m getting him this week because he will be a better scorer than the Rookies for the next 3 or 4 weeks and I can’t get to a fwd premo just yet in that price bracket. If you are going for points overall then do it but if you are going for leagues I’d hold fire. Should get DPP as well.
TU – Whitfield
TD – Touk MIller
Jordon -> S. Darcy
Coffield -> Whitfield
tu – Yes
td – No
Another week, another conundrum –
TU: OUT – Coffield, Jordan & Howes
IN – T Stewart, Draper & Dempsey
TD : OUT – Coffield, Jordan & Fyfe
IN – T Stewart, Sam Darcy & Dempsey
4 players on my chopping block
Jordon
Billings
Fyfe
Reid
Thinking the 2 i will trade this week are Jordon and Billings as they have the highest break evens and byes coming up. Is this the correct call?
T/u – Yes, do these 2
T/d – No, should be a different combination
Bramble into defence?
What are people’s thoughts on Harry McKay?
Solid numbers of 130, 112 and 137 the first 3 games. Is he too risky to bring in?
Which Suns rookie?
TU: Sam Clohesy
TD: Will Graham
I want to get Darcy for cash gen but I’m scared of Bevo.
TU: Wilson -> Darcy, immediate cash gen is golden
TD: Don’t do it, Bevo will get me.
TU: Howes, Fisher, Jordon > Darcy, Draper, Heeney +$100k
TD: Howes, Windsor, Jordon > Darcy, Draper, Steele
Now Berry has been named.
TU Keep Berry save a trade
TD Trade Berry and get Dempsey
Building the bank balance (and assuming Sam Darcy is named)
TU: Trade out Fyfe for Darcy (Fyfe BE 45)
TD: Trade out Jordan for Darcy (Jordan bye next week, BE 44)
Who to trade out?
TU- Z.Reid
TD- M.Hore
Trading out J.Jordan and Wines. Who is more important to bring in?
TU: Touk into Mids (already a decent mid)
TD: Flanders into FWD (prett
should say pretty average fwd ^ (Heeney, Fisher, & 4 rooks)
TU fyfe
Td Reid
Who is more important to bring in this week
TU – Flanders
TD – Powell
Who to trade out?
Tu: fisher
Td:Jordan
If I opt to trade fisher it is likely Jordan get traded at his bye next week.
At this point in time it is looking like:
OUT: Jordan, Fisher & Billings
IN: Flanders, dempsey and Darcy.
$280k for next week, Hopefully steele or English.
Jordan’s on the bye next week so happy to move him on. Fisher is being out scored by dempsey so why not bank $160k and have demps make me another $100k, Billings I don’t need to explain.
