  1. Playing for overall

    Roberts to Whitfield in 1 trade?

    Hard to say whether or not Bice had an effect on Roberts or not. Whitfield also has the saints this week who leak massively to defenders.

    Tu or Td

    • Nah, Nick. Saints are super tight and restrictive atm.

      No DEF gone above 30 touches v them and Port’s HBs today scored 80, 70 and 50.

      They’re a far cry from last year.

      As for Roberts -> Whitfield in general, I think it’s too reactive. GWS’ fixture tightens up and remains to be seen whether Roberts and Bice chop wing and HB again.

      Just wait, get your CG right and prepare for upgrades.

      Stewart at 400k soon, Ryan also an option.

      • Appreciate the input, however as a non Whitfield owner I’m definitely trying to find a way to get him in sooner rather than later!

  2. Traded JHF to bazlenka which is a killer.

    This week i think I’ll go freijah to bice which will leave me around 300k not sure on my other trade/trades I’d prefer not to boost

  3. Probably only 2 trades this week

    In – Bice and Miller
    Out – Knevitt / Tsatas and Sanders

    Trying to get those non scoring non playing rookies off the field.

    Leaves me with $131,900 ITB

  4. Freijah and Callaghan looking like a failed experiment. Have some cash in the kitty, so am thinking these two out and these guys in

    TU: Whitfield and LDU
    TD: Tom Stewart and Lachie Neale

    Comment: just get Whitfield and give Callaghan another week/find another combination of players

  6. So far this is one of the worst premo crops in years, other than Whitfield/Sinclair I don’t see anyone worth upgrading to. Might be worth it to just focus on cash gen for now.

    • the tag has certainly made this year tough for the premiums.

      its still all about Return on investment. if you are buying Sinclair and Whitfield you are paying top dollar and no real value. I’d be looking at players who have had a couple of poor scores (especially for no fault of their own) and wait for them to bottom out – Serong, Daicos, Neale, Heeney, Cripps, Laird, Ryan etc

      give it another week of rookie upgrade and then pick the eyes out of the premiums, especially if we get some nice DPP’s (Warner, Tracca or Laird)

  7. I’ve already used 2 boosts so I’m only trading Freijah to Hall but with the cash left over, I could move Lynch up to Darcy. It feels a bit like point chasing but is it worth it?

    TU: Yes, Lynch is doing nothing and Darcy could be a top 6-8 forward
    TD: no, stay patient and wait for a spike game from Lynch to start cash gen

  8. Bice scores 70 he goes up 70k.
    Missed the first jump but going to jump on now, could get to 300k if he goes 100+
    SPP to bice via Paton
    Make 30k with this move

  9. Operation GET BICE!!!
    Yep I faded him for moraes as it fit my structure better going forward.. now I have to pay up 90k more for him but he will still make 200k from here. But well done to those who were smarter than me and got him this week.

    Travaglia and hall look good shouts but I’m happy to pass on both, my cows are still fattening up if named.

    I Will try back in Callaghan and rozee and prioritise getting rookies offield going forward. Rozee will stop getting tagged soon hopefully and Callaghan was hurt by DE%

  10. Trading in Freijah and picking Petracca has failed. Only rookies I don’t have are Travaglia and Hall. Have 250k ITB and Petracca is bleeding points in my mids but is a chance of fwd status soon

    T/U: Trade Freijah and Petracca to premos

    T/D: Hold Petracca and trade Freijah to a premo/rookie and correct another rookie like Knevitt to hall

    (35 trades and 4 boosts left)

  11. What do we think of Tom Stewart:

    TU – back to somewhere near his best. Potentially avg 105+
    TD – last year was a blueprint, defensive fwds will be used and he’ll struggle to avg 90

  12. In draft keeper league, looking to drop one of L.Scholl or B.Scott and pick up a mid on the waiver wire. The top choices available seem to be Acres, Peatling and Hill.

    Given his scores this year I feel like I’m baiting myself into going with Acres based on his first good game, but his history suggests he’s the most reliable.

    Am I making the wrong call?

  14. Didn’t see his game – has Freijah had a role change or just been down on form the past 2 weeks?
    Is it worth holding for 1 more or trading up now with his 115 BE?

    Will have $683K to spend if i trade, don’t particularly want to pay through the nose for Sinclair or Whitfield atm.

    TU – NWM
    TD – Clark/Ryan

  15. Made the Moraes over Bice mistake. Bice still probably conservatively has $100k+ to make despite the big jump. Thoughts on this?

    OUT: Freijah + O’Driscoll
    IN: Zerrett + Bice

    TU: Worth the move. Do it
    TD: Don’t do it. Too late on Bice

  16. Want to trade in Clay hall for an underperforming rookie. Which of these has less upside to trade out now?

    TU: Knevitt (out of best 23?)
    TD: E Hewett (injury prone)

  17. What to do with Rozee

    TU – use my 100k banked and trade to Merrett
    TD – hold him and cop his price drop, focus on rookies

  18. Put up a post previously regarding this, however keen to get some more input. Would you bring in Lachie Whitfield this week if the only way was through Matt Roberts?

    Whitfield looks to be a top 3 defender and will soon be out of reach (670k). Ultra consistent and a proven Uber premium.

    I’m not sure Roberts is a keeper however I do acknowledge he still probably has some more money to make, however Whitfield is only going to rise in cash too which makes it difficult.

    Thoughts appreciated!

    Tu: Roberts > Whitfield
    Td: Hold off
