    1. Not this week, Slats.

      Long term, yes. He’s not a keeper. You’ll clearly need to finish the season with two of Maxxy, Tingles and RoMo. A sub ton v Eagles was a disgrace, he’s the first ruck v us to go sub 120. No tank, mistakes physicality with contribution. Ba-bong.

      That said (italics), everyone is pulling the trigger on an upgrade this week. Think you need to keep pace.

      RoMo BE 120, so you should be able to put together 100k and do it next week. Grundy on a bye, so price won’t change.

    2. If you can why not this week?
      I have the funds to do so and it also allows my other rookies an extra week to make me money.
      I would rather bloke like Colby, Williams & Fyfe keep generating cash. My rookies aren’t ready to cull yet apart from Howes.

      Best 18 this week, so if I can go Grundy > English and then also have plans for an upgrade next week, why not??

      Grundy to English is an upgrade within itself, mind you Grundy has a very tough run coming up after the bye.

        1. It was more the Richards effect, Ed took brambles job- which he was only minding for him anyway. Sadly for me….

  1. Looking at potential downgrades, three stand out for mine:

    Clohesy (Def) 102k
    W.Graham (Def/Mid) 117k
    Ramsden (Fwd) 123k

    All have only played 1 game so not on the bubble as yet, but of these three who has the best job security?

    Or is it worth paying a bit extra for Comben?

  2. looking at mark keane from adelaide – have 2 dead rooks on the bench in Pink and Phillips and would like to get Howes off field

    is keane worth a POD?

  3. Anyone else worried about Jackson if shrek is named this week? Has been great for us owners with some big scores and made us 50k in the process. With a BE of 152 this week, anyone else tempted to move him on?

    I know the logical thing to do is wait a week, however I don’t see Darcy playing forward much as he can’t play forward, where as Jackson can.
    If Jackson has a stinker this week he could lose a lot of his cash gen he made for us.

    Could potentially swing him to Flanders or Nic Martin who are also going to be rising very much so in the next couple of weeks.

    Thoughts appreciated!

    1. If you have all the other respectable Forwards to this point in the season (i.e. Heeney, Flanders, Powell, and to a much lesser extent Fyfe), who would you trade him to in the forward line? If you don’t have Flanders perhaps that’s justifiable this week… or even waiting a week for Heeney.

      I’m keeping him and having him cover Grundy/Gawn over their early byes with a Livingstone swing. After Round 6, I may do 1-up/1-down with Jackson & Grundy to a Tingles or Marshall and a rookie (TBC), depending on how Jackson and Darcy look together.

      Good luck.

      1. Trade him to Nic Martin and bank the 70k.
        You get a keeper under priced and cash in on Jackson who’s will start to reduce significantly once Darcy is back. If Jackson has a low score this week with a poor role, it will be panic stations for coaches next week. High BE as it is. Looking like a trade for mine.

        2

        1. I’m just not in the camp of trading Jackson without seeing. Darcy is coming back from injury and there’s every chance that he’s eased in.

          Feel the Forwards are a challenge this season with less premiums. Opposed to the mids and defence where there seems to be a lot more top-end talent, as well as a stronger rookie class in the mids (Roberts, McKercher, Sanders, Sharp, Carroll). That’s why I’m prioritising those premiums first.

          Flanders will definitely be a keeper by years end. Consistent scoring stream and has proven a better floor (29 disposals to get 125; BE 89)

          I’m not sold on Martin going the distance; he’s getting loads of the pill but it takes a lot of feeding to get his numbers and I did question if it were sustainable (35 disposals to get to 133; BE 35). Full disclosure; I started and traded him out.

          Good luck whichever way you wind up going, Nick.

          1. I’m also concerned about Martin being in a team being questioned. The coaches are going to look at what’s changed and whether it actually is working for the team as a whole, rather than individually. I fear Martin may lose his cheap possessions in favour of team balance.

            5

            2
    1. Coaches have spoken, I have listened.
      What about :
      Howes and McKercher -> Clohesy and N.Martin?

      14

      3
      1. Hmm…don’t think I worded original question properly. Should have asked :
        Roberts and Howes -> Graham and L.Ryan

        3

        8
        1. Don’t think Roberts is a trade out. If he continues at his 80 average he’ll make another 100k. Just hold and see how it goes.

    1. Scans apparently.

      B18 next two weeks, so even with his injury I’d be inclined to hold him if it’s just a 1 weeker. BE 7.

    2. Voss came out after the game and said not concerned after speaking with ZWill. Seemed like a contact issue as opposed to structual. Lets see during the week though

  4. Initial plans. Controversial but hear me out..

    This Week:
    Howes > Clohesy
    Grundy > English
    Jackson > Nic Martin (ONLY if Darcy is back)

    Next Week:
    Massimo > Will Grahm
    McKercher > Comben
    Zac Williams > Tom Stewart
    (Subject to the rookies going well again)

    Yes I know people are going to say why on earth would I be trading Jackson out. The matter is, when Darcy is in the side his numbers drop dramatically and with such a high BE, we may have to act this week if Shrek is named. It also allows me to get Nic Martin in at a reasonable price, whom is in they verge of getting defender status and clearly has that seagull like role which will allow him to very possibly become a top 6-8 defender.

    Grundy needs to go. People may argue this isn’t the week and to prioritise upgrading, however Grundy to English is roughly a 20 point upgrade in itself. I have the funds to do so and also allow myself to upgrade next week.

    Of course it’s very early and things may change during the week. Something to think about…
    Thoughts appreciated!

  5. I’m sure I’ll be one of many this week doing Howes to Clohesy so what upgrade should I do?

    TU: McKercher to Martin
    TD: Massimo to Young

    19
  6. Is it worth using my second boost to do Grundy out for Flanders?

    TU: yes, bringing in a keeper for someone who won’t be
    TD: no, Grundy hasn’t been that bad and Flanders will have a bad game at some stage

    19

  7. Probably going to use another boost to try and get sheezel this week,

    Is fisher, Clark and Howes to ramsden, graham and sheezel a smart idea?

  8. I have both Phillips (Haw) and Lyons sitting on my bench doing nothing.
    No points nor $’s
    So I figure they can go and in will be Clohesy and Comben.
    Always love a cut price mature age rookie and Combens JS is assured. Just need him to not get injured.
    Yes I know I should wait the extra week but with rookies like Mannaugh Wilson and Clarke…..

  9. Considering my best strategy to upgrade my forward line. My other lines look fairly settled. Not fully convinced with any premiums apart from Heeney & Flanders at the moment.

    TU: Take some risk on upgrade targets such as Zorko & Adams now.
    TD: Work on downgrade options for now to build cash gen and develop a war chest in the lead up to byes, when it’s hopefully more clear who the best 6-8 forwards will be

    1

    22
    1. Zorko and Adams too big of a risk I reckon. Wait a bit longer for the fwd premos to be shown or for some DPP’s to come through.

      10

      0
    1. I’ve got McGovan but the time to get him was before his price rises. I still think he will be top 10 (with a caveat of him not getting injured) but for a similar price you can get a Sinclair, Naicos or a Stewart (in a couple of weeks).

  10. For better or worse I have had Jack Mcrae since the start. He seems out of favour with Bevo. Is he worth holding or trading?

    T/U – Trade Him
    T/D – Keep him

    57

    1
    1. Trade him. For every premo that turns it around like Young & Libba there is your Macrae & Dawson. It’s so hard to nail these line ball calls, but Macrae’s role is capping his ceiling

    2. Hammertime

      I know the feeling as i was going to Heeney but held
      Silly me will hold but i should trade
      If given a proper go he would be top 6 but Bevo is Bevo
      Both he and Daniel have become Bevo kicking boys

  11. Plan was always to get rid of Grundy this week. Sadly him and Howe’s stinky scores leaves me $10k short of English

    34 trades and 4 boosts pre-trades.

    TU- 2 trades Gawn
    Grundy / Howes to Gawn / Clohesy

    TD – 3 trades English
    Grundy / Howes / Wilson to English / Clohesy / Ramsden

  12. Grundy > Meek
    J.Clarke> JHF

    Missed the Sharp & Dempsey rookies 🙁 so need some risks to come off. Maybe Meek can be the stepping stone +200k guy that Grundy was supposed to be and JHF can be a M7-M8 keeper with a good bye.

  13. Is it worth trading in Jeremy Sharp now? Still have a BE of -51. Not quite sure what to do.

    TU – Yes, go for it. Still value for his price and can be a viable on field option.

    TD – No, ship has sailed. Need to be upgrading.

    2

    51
    1. I wouldnt necessarily say its sailed, just depends who you are upgrading him from and what are the other rookie options available. Outside of him, not many other decent mid and fwd options on the bubble this week.

      Trading J Clark to him is a waste but if you trade him from a Jordon and that $100k frees you up to upgrade elsewhere then its a play. Ideally we should have started him but this week was a bit of a freak score so non-owners got a bit unlucky. Hes normally in the 60s-70s range and Carroll who i started instead had the better role.

  14. Looking to trade out Jordan this week. There just looks like no one to upgrade to in the forward line. Have Flanders, Heeney and Powell.

    If I DPP I’m stuck with Reid, Lazzaro, Darcy, Campbell and Wilson to fill F4-6

    Do I just have to deal with that forward line if I want to bring in someone like Young, after trading him out…..?
    I still have another trade to use, which might be Clark

    1. With 2 weeks of best 18 does it really matter having a few rookies on the Fwd bench (with a loophole on Heeney for at least 1 week) and upgrade elsewhere?

      They are all good money makers and need the couple of weeks to grow in value.

      Once DPP changes come in, you move players around more to get best rookies on field and have more choice on who to trade out.

      13

  15. Does DPP come in at the end of this round for players like Colby & roberts ect? Or do we need to wait another week? Can someone confirm plz

    1. It will start once all round 0 teams have had their bye. So it will be after the end of round 6. So 2 weeks time

  18. Am I being too bold with this one?
    Grundy, Howes, Wilson > Meek, Clohsey, JHF
    TU – have a crack
    TD – too risky

    My team is very samey with those ahead (except Heeney, couldn’t ignore past trauma) and I think this risk maybe worth it to get some traction.

    1. I’d fix Grundy R2 now with just 100k and make him RoMo.

      Any other downgrade should then get you Jordon -> JHF if you’re there.

  19. In- Gawn, comben, clohesy
    Out- Grundy, Jordon, Howes

    Too many Sydney players going into the bye, need to move some on.

  20. Trade Grundy… move Jackson from the forwards and bring in Flanders. My real target is Gawn in a couple of weeks.
    TU. Good idea
    TD Too sideways

    I feel Gawn and Flanders are must haves. Grundy not top two in the comp. Jackson a bit unpredictable.

    11

  21. Current side is

    Naicos, Sheezel, J Clark, D’Ambrosio, Z Williams, Howes (Reid/Coffield)
    Bont, Butters, Serong, Dawson, N Martin, McKerecher, Sanders, Sharp (Roberts/Wilson/Clark)
    Gawn, Grundy (Livingstone)
    Heeney, Flanders, Powell, Fyfe, Dempsey, Reid (Darcy/Cadman)
    $94000 ITB

    considering McKercher to Graham and Livingstone to Meek this week then Coffield to Clohesy next week. Meek gives me Grundy/Gawn cover for the next two weeks while making some quick cash too.

    What do you think guys ?

    2

    8
    1. Hmm.

      If Grundy were a keeper, yeah. But he isn’t. So either deal him now (Meek an option) or pump that cash into an upgrade.

      Great side btw. Clark, wow. V nice.

    TU Do it
    TD Go early on Clohesy instead

  23. Why are most people against trading Grundy this week? He has shown us clearly he is not the player we hoped he would be when selecting him. Couldn’t even crack a ton against the eagles who have been conceding minimum 120 points to rucks so far this year.

    Grundy > English almost a no brainer for mine. Extra premium on field this week whilst it also allows an extra week for my rookies to further generate cash who aren’t quite ready to chop.
    Can look at another upgrade next week.

    9

    5
      1. Grundy is missing this week anyway, so trading him to English is an upgrade in itself.

        If you are prepared enough to have funds going into next week and can plan another upgrade next week I don’t see why coaches shouldn’t pull the trigger this week?

  24. A little unsure what to do next. Im ranked very well so keen to keep pace but the issue is im carrying a bunch of non-playing rookies (Pink, Phillips, Mannagh, Livingstone, Lazzaro).

    Is it crazy to go early on clohsey and comben early likely for philips, lazzaro? More looking for insight on whether its a silly sideways move to make now rather than waiting to see whether these guys play more?

  25. Hi guys,

  26. Hi all,

    Would like some feedback. Convinced Martin is a top 6 defender and need to bring in Flanders this week who is a must have. Only way to afford this is by cutting Grundy and one of Massimo or Fisher. Keen to hold fisher as an 80 average at F6 is probably not the worst this year. Massimo has been moved onto a wing.

    Therefore, I can either go vanilla with Option 1:

    Kerch/Massimo/Fisher + Jordan to Closey and Flanders

    T/U

    Or I can absolutely send it with my desired moves and go ->

    T/D

    Grundy + Jordan + Massimo to Closey, Martin and Flanders. This does leave a logjam of rookies with in the midfield for round 6 with Sharp at M10 but once DPP comes in the following round everyone can be swung correctly to balance the side.

    Leaning towards T/D as the only real upgrade targets in the next few weeks are Stewart and Clarry. Happy to carry Jackson at R2 till English becomes affordable. This will leave the team as

    Daicos, Young, Sheezel, Williams, Closey, Howes (Coffield + Reid)

    Bont, Serong, Green, Butters, Dawson, Martin, Kerch, Sanders (Roberts, Sharp, Clark)

    Gawn, Jackson (loop)

    Flanders, Fisher, Fyfe, Reid, Darcy, Cadman (Wilson, Sexton)

      1. I was shockingly close to fading Dawson lol. I was just so bullish on the rat all pre season. Had him and and the Crows top 6. 120+ average. Chose Fisher and Dawson over Flanders and Heeney for bye structure lmao

    Brought him in last week and he dishes up a 70!

  30. Why is Merrett never talked about getting traded in?

    Is there something I’m missing here? His ceiling isn’t as high as someone like Green but his consistency is crazy. I wanted to get Green in this week but I think I’m gonna take Merrett instead just for that POD.

    2. I just refuse to pay 660k for a premo in season. Think it puts you at a serious risk of not finishing your side. This year is probably different with more trades but i’m not willing to cough that up imo.

      2

      1
    3. Why is his ceiling not as high? He has been a top 20 scorer in the league in 7 of the last 8 seasons and was the 5th highest average MID last year. He’s averaging 1 point less than Green.

    1. Other option is to make an extra trade and bring in Clohesy early for Howes. This would allow me to get any premo mid. Should I do this instead?
      I can bring in Merrett, Gulden, Petracca, Butters, Rozee, etc.

      0
      1. Personally I’m going for big midfield premos. My view is that we’ll end up with 4/6 forwards around the $450-500k mark, so there should be extra cash and focus on higher midfield quality ($650-700k). Merrett and Petracca absolutely fit this profile.

        Others might take a different view on this and go for value options like Nic Martin in defence, but hey everyone has a different opinion and strategy!

  35. Also was thinking about McKercher to JHF based on break evens and future scoring (will be throwing Martin into defence after Rd6 so thinking that getting an ok mid with some cash generation in now will be handy?)

    T/U do it
    T/U don’t

    Any extra thoughts appreciated

    5

    1
    1. If you think JHF will be a top 8-10 midfielder then it’s probably the best opportunity all year to get him in.
      Keep in mind, at this stage, he isn’t likely getting forward DPP like we all wanted.

  36. How is Mitch Georgiades JS?
    Decent player but injury prone?
    No talk of him at all
    Comben sucked me in last year with a big score, then had a shocker
    TU- Georgiades
    TD- Comben
    Comment- Ramsden better JS? (Rather wait a week on him)

    1

    8
    1. I think Georgiades has good JS but scoring could be unreliable. He has a career average of 59 so would need to average over 70 to make $150k by the byes.

      Best case is a spike score next week for a quick cash grab, but Freo have been one of the best backlines in the comp this year.

      Comben on the other hand has a much better role so I can see an average of 65+ to make $100-$120k

      3

  37. T/ U – Howes to Clohesy and Mckercher to any of Butters/Serong/Merrett this week

    T/D – Howes to Clohesy this week, Mass to a bubble boy next week (bank 575k) and upgrade McKercher to Heeney + Cadman to a fallen premo

    1

    1. I think you could easily hold Mckercher for a few more weeks. With his role he has a high chance of a spike score and regen that cash for a little while longer.

  38. Simple week this week for me.
    Jordon to Martin.
    Howes to Cholsey

    Going the week early on Cholsey with the potential downgrade options of Graham and even Comben next week.
    I deliberately didn’t start Martin to get more info about his role. Was happy to pay 50k for that which is where we are now. Pretty happy with how it’s turned out.

    1. Neale could be a great POD though which is kind of proven even more by this poll. He’s also only $40k more so really could be worth a shot if you want to be different

    2. Neale had his ankle on ice toward the end of the Norf game and he’s said it was due to a sprain he picked up against the Pies. I’d wanna be sure he was over that sprain before I’d bring him in.

  43. Need to get rid of Howes, Tom Berry, Jordon and J. Lyons being useless atm

    Thumbs up- Fixes a LOT structurally for me and 100k in the bank afterwards – Looking at Lyons to Green asap

    Howes -> Clohesy
    Jordon -> Comben
    Tom Berry -> Powell

    Thumbs down- Leaves Tom Berry in team – no bank left and have to bench a good rookie mid
    Howes -> Clohesy
    Jordon -> Comden
    Lyons -> Touk / Rozee

    Comment (Option 3) – Leaves Tom Berry in team – no bank left and have to bench a good rookie mid

    Howes -> Clohesy
    Jordan -> Ramsden (Hate this option)
    Lyons -> Tom Green

      1. One of my SuperCoach rules is never doing something you hate. It’s your team to have fun with so you never want to be doing something begrudgingly

    1. I’d be waiting to see if Lyons gets a run. Neale came off with an ankle last week. With a BE of -40, think he is a hold.
      Howes needs to go either this round or next BE 56 so he shouldnt lose any money. Going early on Howes has risks but the cash can be used elsewhere. No way I’d be trading in Powell at his price. Do you have Flanders? Fyfe?
      Agree Berry and Jordan need to go.

  44. Thoughts on:
    Massimo, McKerch & Fisher -> Whitfield, N.Martin, Clohesy

    Going slightly early on McKerch, but Martin price about to jump and should be top 6-8 defender.. as should Whitfield with a good matchup against the Saints this week.

  45. Hi all,

  46. New Trade plans

    Tu: Jordon, Howes to Clohesy, NWM or Jordan Clark – Gives me extra premo but hold Grundy

    Td: Jordon, Grundy to Marshall, Clohesy
    220k inb for upgrades next week

  47. Is Clohesy nailed?

    Seems most of the top 1% are bringing him in. Josh Glenn springs to mind.

    1. What other choice do we have? No one else on the bubble. No one else on the horizon, frankly.

      Had as good a debut as you can get, so that should buy him some time.

    2. I’m part of that and it’s because the money is needed this week, no other options and two good options on the bubble next week.

    3. He’s also only $102k so if it doesn’t work out, that’s still very low risk but gets cash in the bank even for people trading dead rookies like Gibcus

  48. Worth trading in Gawn this round before his bye? Want to pick him up after the bye but projected to be almost an extra 50k…

    1. I’m bringing him in this week for Grundy and I’m well aware of the risks but I only need probably 3 good weeks to flip him to an English or Romo. I’m under no illusion that he is a season keeper. Would like a Hawks supporters input but from what I’ve seen in the two games he seems far better then Reeves.

  49. Stuffed my structure up trading Jordon over Fyfe,. Jordon needs to go i do not trust Bolton/Zorko/Lohman/Ramsted so will be doing a YOLO move…

    Howes – Closley
    Jordon – Comden
    Mckercher – Steele

  50. Trading super premos has never worked out for me so I’ve held onto Dawson hoping that he would come good. DE% killed him first few weeks but should have at least scored 100+ in 2 of the 4 weeks IMO and I feel he is being unfairly scored compared to others.

    Worth using boost to trade to Steele or do I just have to hold and hope now?

    T/U: Trade
    T/D: Keep

    1. I’m not sure if he’s being unfairly scored vs others or if he’s being fairly scored vs how he was scored last year. There were a lot of times last year when I thought his scoring was realllly friendly.

  51. Anyone given any thought to trading in Jack Lukocius?

    406k forward who in the last 2 games has been moved back to HB and looks likely to stay there.

    Last 2 scores 87 vs WB & 95 vs GWS.

    Has Haw, Nth & WCE in 3 of his next five games.

    In a shallow forward pool where 95 is probably good enough for F6, he will also pick up DEF status after R6.

    3

    3
    1. I have in prior years Owen but he has never averaged more than 80 and has played HB too. I brought in Dempsey at F5 to average a solid 80 for half the price until those future forward keepers reveal themselves. History is not on JL’s side to pump out the extra 15 points pw but you never know your luck !

    2. he had a season where he was playing as the main distributor across half back, was racking them up. This was when Suns were very bad and the ball was in their defence alot.

      they have moved him back forward the last couple of seasons (where he was recruited to play) and he hasn’t been SC relevent.

      I saw him playing half back on the weekend and became very interested. But they had Flanders and powell also in defence, plus Sexton and buderick to come back. Just too many options and will have to watch for a few more weeks to see if the role is permanent

    3. Won’t win the 50k not taking risks like this. Could boost you up the ladder significantly.
      Not a pick for me at this stage but those 3 fixtures look good!

  52. I just dont understand with b18, unless your backline is truly horrific, why it is necessary to bring him in this week.

    1. Posted in wrong spot, but obviously in regard to Clohesy. I’ll get him next week on the button if he goes ok again, and not have to worry about a mishap this week,.

      1. Most want to bring him in for Howes (BE: 56, 12.3% are currently trading him out), as there are no other good options to downgrade to.

        With a couple other rookies looking to be on the bubble next week, you’d likely have to skip 1/2 if all are good or be stuck with 400k itb.

        Both sides have risks to it

    1. Im curious if anyone has insight into where his scores are going, im wondering how far he can go down before he becomes a target to bring in.

  53. Didn’t jump on S Darcy LW.
    It is worth a trade and extra $20k odd for future cash gen or a rookie sideways trade ?

  54. Hello,

    TU or TD?

    Trade out Jackson, Grundy and Howes for English, Flanders and Clohesy.

    Thank you!

    1. tick, tick, tick. trades look a bit ‘sideways’, but English and Flanders are improvements on Grundy and Jackson (especially with Darcy coming back this week)

  55. Current team

    D: Sheezel, Houston, Naicos, Bramble (damn you Richards, but damn me for going there!), D’Ambrosio (damn you interchange cap!), Williams (Howes, Reid)

    M: Bont, Green, Steele, Miller, Roberts, Sharp, Mckercher, Sanders (Carroll, Wilson, Clark)

    R: Gawn, English (Livingstone)

    F: Heeney, Jackson, Flanders, Powell, Reid, Darcy (Cadman, Sexton)

    Getting the urge to purge.

    Out: Bramble, D’Ambrosio, Howes
    In: Ryan, Clohesy, Graham

    Yay or Nay?

  56. Jordon being traded out (plus Howes to Clohesy), gives me enough cash to get either:

    TU: Flanders

    TD: N Martin

    Didn’t start Flanders, wait till after bye. Did start Martin but traded him to Serong week 3.

  57. There’s a bit more to this trade but it kinda boils down t:

    TU: Jhye Clark to JHF
    TD: Massimo/McKercher to Flanders

    Comment: who to trade out of Massimo and McKercher

    1. I understand the value on Meek but you want to build towards two top rucks and this is a player you will need to trade out again soon. Only works if you havent used many trades.

  58. Daicos to Hayden young
    Is it worth?
    I’ve got 6 buy players this week and bringing in young allows me to upgrade Grundy to Gawn.

    1. If you have Daicos now, id only be trading him if you think he is done for the season and you need to get out before he drops in price. Otherwise its a wasted trade imo.

  59. Howes, Jackson, Jordon -> Clohesy, Flanders, Martin

    TU or TD?

    With Darcy return likely, and Jackson’s BE creeping over 150 I’m thinking it could be the right time to jump off?

    1. Who is your other ruck ??? If its Gawn, it might be worth waiting another week to see how Jackson goes if Darcy is selected, especially if you can loop Jackson into ruck.

  60. Howes and Wilson out
    IN: Clohsey, Meek! (R2)
    (have Jackson as R3/F2 swing?
    TU (trade in)
    TD (dont risk it)
    17k need to do something!

  61. Looking at Grundy to English, but would also need to go Roberts to J Sharp who still has more cash to generate than Roberts.

    TU Do it
    TD Waste of trades

    1. Roberts and Sharpe have heaps more cash to make and have great JS.
      You must have a good team if youre trading these two out.

  63. Food for thought
    Those contemplating Grundy to Marshall ‘
    The coach suggested back-up ruckman Tom Campbell will need to provide Rowan Marshall with some coverage at stages but it might not be just yet!!!

    1. Not sure on the JHF selection. Do you think he will be a top 8 mid? Wines back this week, Drew, Butters, Rozee – lots of mid points to share. Steele has very little competition for points at St Kilda – Martin has a great scoring role. These are the two I would be prioritising before JHF.

  64. Already locked in – Jordon -> Clohesy

    Should I trade McKercher who seems to have a more mid/fwd role for Nic Martin?

    T/U – Keep McKercher

    T/D – McKercher -> N. Martin

    Cheers everyone 🙂

    T/D – Jordan to Young

    1. Yeah, type “player last name supercoach” into Google and go onto the Footywire page, which should be the first result.

      Eg. “butters supercoach”

      There’s a little table with all the numbers.

      Or just ask in TT. Someone will hook you up.

  66. T/U Lazzaro to Nic Martin = 1 trade
    T/D sexton to Nic Martin = 1 trade

    Comment Mannagh to Nic Martin (would need to use a boost to do this trade) = 2 trades
