Where to begin..
Will try to get parker in at all costs this week before he blows out in price.
Is it worth chopping daicos to make this happen?
Parker in with probably McComb and Clark as downgrades, as I have 0$ in the bank.
Carrol coming in the week after.
Anyone not getting Parker ?
I think for me FT it will be a choice of Short or Parker. Will Mull it over the next 48 hours and see if I can get both maybe
Nice Jam
You spanked me this week even without Short.
Thanks FT. Have had to make some serious moves the last few weeks to become competitive as I was so far off the pace. Seem to be paying off. Ranking finally went in the right direction last week and hoping for the same again this week.
The promise of midfield time for Short is extremely enticing.
I finally got something right this week with Parker !!
Had Pruess/Hayes as my ruck line so Witts will be coming in.
Just need to decide who to cull and if I should go early on Clark or take McComb or not
Last week I asked if I should bring in Oliver and Rosas, or Parker and Petracca… met with an overwhelming 21:2!
Absolutely livid with my sheep mentality rather than selling high, buying low 🙁
Yep, always go with ya gut Pumpa
Ba…..
Was devastated – looped Gibcus at the start but didn’t put the E on him! My first donut – and an own goal.
What do we think about Cripps? It’s getting hard to deny the Golden God himself…
TU: Top 8 Mid
TD: Not durable enough
Bit early to decide just now but I’m thinking berry to Parker.
Is it worth using an trade boost to get Parker in this week? (Have used 3 already as I want to get full premo asap)
Tu or Td
I’d hold at least a couple trade boosts for the byes, as there’s always more carnage than expected.
Any rookies worth trading in this week?
Clark even though it’s a week early
McComb looked alright today (admittedly against weaker oppostion)
Otherwise, wait a week for Clark, Carroll, Rioli or Hamilton (or don’t wait…)
Paul Curtis from North is alright. 58 twice in a row in thumpings. 117k fwd
Yeah I don’t mind him Abs. He had a crack on Sat night. Maybe underscored a tad. I’ll be surprised if he gets drops.
Hayes (STK) —> Clark
Caldwell —> Cripps
Berry, Rachele and Durdin are all on the block
Should’ve got Parker this week! Probably still good value.
Cannot have Hayes at R2 and time for JHF and Rachele to go. (Probably a week late maybe)
So my trades this week will be:
Out JHF and Rachele
In Gawn and Clarke
It means I will be holding Xerri and Dixon will be my F7 in the meantime.
I would caution against counting on Dixon as being F6 Shaggi, he was a late in this weekend so is definitely right on the edge of best 22. He didn’t do a heap to ensure he holds his spot this coming week either.
Maybe some of our WCE supporting counterparts can give their view on his JS?
Dixon is in the best 22, whilst Nic Nat is out.
He was only a late in due to an injury concern and was given time to prove his fitness.
Game didn’t suit on the weekend with Richmond dominating and little opportunity in forwardline. Will be better for game, fitness wise.
He will sit at my F7, just like Shaggi’s team.
Good Intel, thanks CT. Worth holding a bit longer and hopefully get some cash Gen and bench coverage from him.
Ah nevermind just realised you said Dixon F7!
I think Dixon will hold his place for a while cause who else have they got
No NicNat, Allen or Williams so it will be he and Strnadica doing the ruck work.
Really he is still there to provide a loop with a R/F like Xerri when I cash in Hayes.
I hope I never have to field him though.
Yeah that’s where my thinking lies as well. Hoping English comes back into my forward line in a few weeks and Dixon will be the DPP switch for it.
$870k slush fund
Out: McCartin / Rachelle / JHF
In: Short / Miller / Brayshaw
Wouldn’t be getting Brayshaw when his BE is 155
Just like it wasn’t worth getting Oliver 2 weeks ago with his break even if 170!
Who goes first out of Horne-Francis, Ward & Rachele?
Rachele has the lowest floor but also the highest ceiling..
I’d say Rachele is going to continue to lose cash with a BE of 78 and no scores over 50 the last three weeks.
Really having a suss of this:
McCartin, Dixon & Durdin
->
Luke Parker, Clark & another rook.
Daicos D6 / JHF M8 / N. Martin F6 only rookies left on-field.
22 trades ITB.
Looks good Abs. Ripping score by you this week too!
Appreciate it Jamhead!
How’d you fare this week?
Decent. 2540. Still lost in LoEC 2. But won most of my other leagues. Finally picked a captain correctly in Gawn. Only the second time this year I have nailed captain choice.
2540 well above par!
Solid effort!
Does McComb have Job security?
Nope (Doggies supporter here)
Odriscoll > Clark (via dpp)
Hayes > Strnadica
Do I make the third trade and activate my 4th trade boost of the season?
Dixon > Luke Parker
Tu; Do it, get Parker whilst he’s still cheap
Td; Hold off and save the boost
Should i sell Dixon to trade in Parker?
TU:J.Rachele,H.Dixon > L.Parker, G.Clark
TD: Keep Dixon still more money to make
Trade NOD or no for this trade?
TU:N.Odriscoll, J.Rachele > J.Short,G.Clark
TD:No
Dixon > Parker
Next week will be fun with Greg Clark and Jack Carroll on the horizon.
Just the two trades this week barring any unforeseen injuries/outs.
Rachele > G. Clark
J. Hayes > Parker.
86k banked.
think its pretty straight forward this week for me
Out: NOD and Rachele
In: Heeney and Clark
Leaves me 25 trades and the team looking really solid.
Defence: Sicily Hewett Short Ryan Ridley Gibcus (Mccartin Uwland
Mid: Steele Macrae Neale Oliver Miller Cripps Daicos Clarke (Ward Mcdonald Hough)
Ruck: Gawn Preuss (S Hayes)
Fwd Dunkley Heeney Butters Brodie Coniglio Martin (De Koning Rosas)
Got some cows to fatten but got a lot of my rookies off the field so feeling great. If anyone has any other trade or other premos they prefer over Heeney for 550k please let me know!
I also have the decision to bring in either Heeney (averaging 113.7, $535,500 , BE = 127) or Parker (averaging 104, $518,800, BE = 51).
So would be interested in finding out why you have chosen Heeney in this instance?
Also what do others think?
T/U Heeney
T/D Parker
Thanks!!
Deciding on how to bring in Cripps this week
Tu: Use one trade and bring him in for rowell leaving Clark m8 (have 115k in the bank so just enough)
Td: Use two trades and bring him in for ward leaving Rowell M8
24 trades left
TU
Berry to Clark
JHF to Miller
TD
Berry to Clark
JHF to Parker
best defender under 600k?
TU: Docherty
TD: Sicily
Both are great options. Pick whoever suits your byes better.
I think this is a straight forward trade but got two option defender trade or Forward trade.
TU:N.Odriscoll, J.Rachele > J.Short,G.Clark
TD:N.Odriscoll, J.Rachele > G.Clark, L.Parker
DEF
J.Sinclair, G.Hewett,J.Lloyd,N.Daicos,N.O Driscoll, J.Gibcus (P.Mccartain, S De,koning)
MID
J.Macrae,J.Steele,L.Neale,A.Brayshaw,D.Parish,P.Cripps,S.Conigilio,J.Rachele(J.ward,D.Stephens,B.Hobbs)
RUCK
M.Gawn,B.Preuss (S.Hayes)
FORWARD
J.Dunkley,W.Brodie,Z.Butters,J.Rachele,N.Martin,C.Macdonald (M.Rosas,H.Dixon)
If anyone has other option please let me know!!
Is a tricky one, I definitely think short is a much better choice than parker but youre a lot weaker in your fwds then down back. Any fwds caught your eye other than parker?
I have about 545K to spend and im looking to Parker and Heeney other players they seem not a safe option what do you think?
Is t thomas an option at the price.
I am also leaning towards wines as a perfect m7-8 for 500k
TU- Caldwell, JHF and Rachele to Mccomb, Wines and Thomas
Td- Caldwell and Rachele for Mccomb and Wines bank 100k
I really like Tarryn but definitely wouldn’t be trading him yet. His 75 on Saturday was his highest score for the year so don’t think he’s worth picking up just yet and definitely not worth burning a boost for. Hold out and wait for him to show it cause his break even of 95 is still not something he’s hit yet.
TU – JHF & Ráchele > Parker & Clark
TD – Berry > Parker
Out: Berry + Rachelle/Hayes
In: Clark + Cripps
Leaves me with:
Def: crisp, short, hewett, dawson, daicos, gibcus (SDK, Mccartin)
Mid: Steele, macrae, miller, Oliver, cripps, neale, green, Clark (Macdonald, Stephens, ward)
Ruc: witts, preuss (Hayes)
Fwd: dunkley, Parker, butters, Brodie, coniglio, Martin (Hayes/Rachelle, Rosas)
25 trades $30k itb
Alternative ideas?
is it worth trading hinge macdonald and dixon to get in cripps?
if you can get him through rachele or JHF then I would
I’m thinking:
Trade out: Daicos, Caldwell, Dixon
Trade in: Short, G Clark, Parker
Pains me to trade out Caldwell, Daicos however I would like to bring in Parker and Short whilst still semi affordable.
TU: Sounds like the right call
TD: not worth it
Is Rowell to a Petracca worth it? Will be my M7.
Or just keep Rowell till the byes?
TU Yeh.
TD Nah.
Can do 1 up, 1 down with J Hayes and NOD to a rookie and
TU: Touk
TD: Parker
Parker looked great today and it’s not even his highest score for the year but already having Mills and Heeney, it feels a bit risky. Or maybe it protects from any of them stealing points from each other
Actually, I also love Tom Stewart and have hated not having him so alternate option:
TU: Stewart
Thinking of using my 2nd trade boost so I can fit both Parker and Short in. It would leave me with 24 trades remaining.
In: McComb (I can only afford this trade with a 102k rookie), L.Parker, Short
Out: Daicos, Berry, Horne-Francis
Team after the trade –
Def: Crisp, Sicily, Hewett, Short, Ridley, Whitfield (Gibcus, De Koning)
Mid: Macrae, Neale, Oliver, Keays, A.Brayshaw, Cripps, L.Parker, O’Driscoll (MacDonald, Hollands, McComb)
Ruck: Witts, Pruess (S. Hayes)
Fwd: Dunkley, Heeney, Butters, Coniglio, Martin, McCartin (Rachele, Dixon)
TU: Use the boost for 2:1 upgrade. Then double downgrade next week (Clark, Carroll, etc.)
TD: Save it, go 1:1, and keep Daicos through the byes.
looking at trading Rachele and JHF this week
JHF goes to Clark and Rachele goes to either Oliver or Parker
T/U – Oliver
T/D – Parker
personally not massively keen on parker, especially considering he has had three sub 80 scores this year, but he seems to have a good role and will allow me to trade someone like daicos next week for someone like touk or clarry next week, so i may go for parker regardless
Parker’s definitely worth keeping in your fwds rather than taking up a mid spot, if you can
Yeah he would be down forward
Xerri, JHF, Rowell -> Short, Cripps, GClark and log off for the week?
Really want to get in either Cripps or Short before they shoot up in price next week
TU: Get rid of Daicos and Horne-Francis to do it
TD: Still money to make, keep the rooks
just wanted to post where my team is at and get some feedback. I am currently top 25% after a horrible start with performance, injuries and poor rookie selections. aim to push for top 10% and redeem this season
I have 23 trades after this week and have 200k left in the bank for a daicos upgrade next week, so likely will have 21 after next week and around 100k depending on who I trade alongside Daicos
Def – Crisp, Sicily, Hewett, Short, Ridley, O’Driscoll (De Koning, Dean)
Crisp, Sicily, Hewett and Short are all keepers for me, with ridley borderline, but maybe a luxury trade
Mid – Steele, Macrae, Neale, Cripps, Brodie, Daicos, Martin, Clark (McDonald, Soligo, Uwland)
Steele, Macrae, Neale, Cripps are all likely to be keepers, with bodies a keeper when I eventually switch him down forward. Daicos will go next week for either Touk or Clarry or maybe Mills. Martin will go when he tops out, same with clark. Mcdonald will probably stay as coverage
Ruck-Gawn, English (S Hayes)
Started the season with grundy darcy and J Hayes, they are all gone. Others will likely be keepers and hayes will go late to fund luxury upgrades
Fwd – Dunkley, Heeney, Parker, butters, Cogs, Rosas ( Mccartin, Long)
probably my strongest line with those five being keepers and Brodie being a keeper as well. Rosas and mccartin will go, long should break into the hawks side
thoughts on the team if you’ve read this far? and thoughts on my plans for the team or alternative plans
You have a lot of rookies that are clogging up your bench and not playing / making money. There’s a few coming up this week and next, so get at least 3 of them in. Otherwise, your mids are your weakest line and that’s where most of your points come from, so upgrade there first.
I think Long will break into the side, same with dean when he recovers. Uwland is there for DPP and Soligo is the only other one not playing
TU Stewart (Worth the price)
TD Short (Bargain)
Who to Trade Out?
TU Dixon
TD JHF
Thanks Coaches
Who to trade out for Gawn
T/U JHF
T/D O’Driscoll
Out: Caldwell, Rachele, O Driscoll
In: Touk Miller, Jayden Short, McComb
Who to bring in, all factors included – Price, BE etc
T/U – Petracca
T/D – Parker
Who’s more of a priority (can afford either):
Tu: Gawn
Td: Parker
I’m rocking Preuss and S Hayes as r1 and r2 so keen to get Gawn for the big points, but don’t want to miss Parker at his price.
It comes to who you think will average more from this week on.. Parker will eventually come down in price he’s prone to a bad score here and there
Have a similar situation.
I’m looking closely at Witts. Cheaper then Gawn and scoring great.
From this point on all changes have to be made in accordance to bye structure. Particularly losing R12 byes.
Gawn and Clark in early.
Durdin and Rachele out.
Skipping on Witts as Gawn actually works better for the byes for me. Rachele and Clark have the same bye so no change there.
I have far too many (13) round 12 bye guys. Almost my whole backline is full of them. Yet only 6 round 14 guys.
OUT – macrae, NOD.
IN – Parker, short.
Will have green at m7, Clark at m8.
Why are you trading Macrae out? Would be a big hold in my books
Just seeing people’s thoughts on the idea.
200 break even can get him back at the byes.
Have to trade in Parker and short now to get the value or skip them till someone else drops in price.
Probably boosting Parker in VIA- Nod, Ward and McDonald.
Was rage trading on Saturday but Sunday recovered to a nice 2450 score so just keep chipping away
JHF to G Clark
D Moore to J Short
My POD of Moore was a bad move so off he goes
145k in the bank for another upgrade promo next week
thought you meant Dylan Moore (Hawks) not Darcy! Would’ve said geez he’s been a great POD.
Sounds like a good move though.
Thoughts on Darcy Cameron. Looks to be sole ruck with Grundy out 8-12 wks & should get DPP next time around
Currently have Gawn Hayes Dixon
He’s not THE worst option but recently Gawn, Witts and Preuss are all on fire. You have Hayes for cash and Dixon for DPP.
Sadly the DPP options and potential options – English, Xerri, and Marshall are all out. the only one floating around that I’d back with coin is Ladhams and evven he’s risky and probably Parker was a better bet in the Fwds.
I’d back Preuss or Witts before Cameron.
Does Dixon make any more money the coming weeks? BE of 47 more than achievable, but with the Lions, Dees, Giants and Dogs coming up… thinking he might have to go this week. Anyone else thinking of moving him on even at F7?
He’s still an essential cog becaue west coast are so short on rucks. Strnadica is doing better than him and is a bubble boy. If you don’t have him Strnadica is better, but he’s not worth a trade out.
Who to trade out first:
T/U: Daicos
T/D: JHF
Dow, Daicos, Whitfield -> Short, Parker, GClark
Take the rest of the week off…done & dusted
Out of Odrizzle, Berry, JHF who needs to be traded this week?
TU- Odrizzle
TD- Berry
Comment JHF
JHF
JHF
JHF isn’t a desperate trade out at 58 B/E but O’Driscoll has probably got more potential, more cash growth, dpp and the BYE advantage imho
Only 21 trades left after doing 3 this week already. Already at about 70% premos
T/U – enough to get through
T/D – not enough
JHF
Who to trade out this week to grab Gawn?
T/U – Daicos
T/D – Whitfield
Anyone have thoughts on Strnadica?
Will he keep getting games with Nic Nat out?
Gidday D
you would think he is front of Dixon & Williams for R1 at this time
I may trade him to Hayes[SK] for cash gen.
TU: Use boost for Vlaustin and Parker
TD: Parker only
Comment: Vlaustin only
TU: Vlaustin only
I seriously considered VlaSTONE (since it’s now pronounced that way).
He was on the bubble and a 126 average.
Reality is he’s never been a 126 point player and never will be.
He’s a good solid 90 point defender on freak high. This week’s result is more like what he’s actually worth.
He’s not a top 10, probably not even a top 20 defender.
At 460k last week he was marginal enough. Now he’s a no way.
Bought parker in Friday night so was very happy with 150 but woulda preferred it been a 110 and stayed a pod, I have very few of them and it’s hurting me haha his ownership will sky rocket this week.
Happy I went with parker over de goey though.
TU: Kidean Coleman
TD: Paul Curtis
Got McComb last week
Kiddy could be useful through the byes. That R14 is handy and it gives max cash growth before a trade. But since Curtis has the R14 bye it’s kind of moot.
Curtis is a 50 point player through and through. That’s good enough for the money, but j/s is the biggest risk.
Is it worth it to trade Rachelle to Curtis or McComb this week with 24 trades left or wait till Clark and Carroll next week?
TU: Get mccomb or curtis
TD: Wait till next week for Clark or carroll
COMMENT: Go this week on clark
Time for Rachele to go so going a week early on Clark.
TU: Rachele, Dixon -> Clark, Preuss (Can’t have Hayes at R2)
TD: Rachele, Daicos -> Clark, Short (Trust Hayes, need Short)
Thanks team.
Daicos dpp and r14 bye is useful if you have dpp defenders like Hewett, so then I’d go T/U
If you don’t then Short as a midfielder is mighty tempting.
24 trades left
Worth it to get pruess in still because otherwise I have hayes at R2
TU: Dixon > Preuss and Rachelle > Clark, Hayes to R3
TD: Hold the trades
Preuss should get another 100k. Not sure how hayes goes from now, deefinitely would rather Preuss
which rookie this week ?
tu: mccomb
td: clark
is parker a must get? Is he now moved back into the midfield?
tu: yes get him
td: he’s not a must have
Parker season long as a forward and a 105-115 average is a great grab. But he WILL punch out low scores at least 2 or 3 more times this season.
Is it worth trading in Parker for Brodie (f6)
Preuss looked proppy at the death , maybe injured ?
He moves like Peter Garrett dancing at the best of times.
O’Driscoll -> Oliver
MacDonald -> Clark
Thoughts?
Bringing in
TU: Jayden Short
TD: Luke Parker
TU – Luke Parker
TD – Dylan Moore
Is anyone looking at Dylan Moore over someone like Parker?
TU – yes
TD – no, Parker better choice every day
Will be interesting to see if Moore attended any CBA’s on the weekend?
From what I understand he hasn’t been going into any CBA’s so far this year, but he did mention a “higher up the ground & behind the ball” role change in an interview I saw with him after the game on the weekend.
So I thought that was interesting – as being a small forward in a young side might be tough going as the year goes on.
Berry – Mccomb
Rachele – Clark
J.Hayes – Gawn
Getting Carol for Mccartin next week.
Carroll needs another week watch but that’s on my radar.
Who to trade for Petracca
Tu butters
Td Brodie
NEED HELP,
Currently have 498K ITB for a forward, traded out NOD and rachele
HAve JHF and Daicos, really need suggestions
Dylan Moore from Hawthorn fits your budget perfectly and could be an awesome POD
TU: JHF & NOD > G. Clark & Parker
TD: JHF & NOD > R. McComb & Short
Like Clark a lot more but McComb allows me to grab Short with DEF easily my weakest line, then look at getting Clark and maybe even Parker next week? Thoughts?
Ok, reworking my poll from earlier, which one to bring in?
TU: Miller
TD: Stewart
Ladhams to Parker worth it or save the trade?
TU – Ladhams > Parker
TD – Save it
Rachele & JHF -> Parker & Clark (a week early)
Team will look like this:
D: Sinclair, Hewett, Short, Ridley, Bowey, Daicos (McCartin, De Koning)
M: Neale, Cripps, Oliver, Steele, Macrae, Miller, Brayshaw, Dunkley (Stephens, MacDonald, Clark)
R: Preuss, Hayes (Dixon)
F: Parker, Brodie, Butters, Coniglio, Martin, Rosas (Durdin, Hayes)
TU: Do it!
TD: Think again!
Hey guys, thoughts on holding off getting clark and getting mccomb?
Can trade JHF for clark
Imo holding off will make you 40 -50 k richer if you go Mccomb and you pick up clark the following week when he is on the bubble if he doesnt get hurt.
Better job security?
TU Rioli JNR
TD Carroll
Cheers
Would love your opinions on how I’m tracking!
D: Crisp, Sicily, Hewett, Daicos, Gibcus, De Koning (Chapman, McCartin)
M: Steele, Neale, Oliver, Miller, Keays, Brayshaw, Green, Cripps (Hough, Clark, McComb)
R: Pruess, S.Hayes (English)
F: Dunkley, Parker, Brodie, Butters, Cogs, N.Martin (Dixon, Dempsey)
13.3k left and 25 trades. Thanks!
Forgot to add, thinking about a way I can add Stewart or Short to my defence and maybe McDonagh?
Gidday Baggers, English is listed as 2-3 wks away, lot of $ sitting there.
Tim English (hamstring): 1-2 weeks.
From Western Bulldogs injury update (27th April).
T/U: Luke Parker + Greg Clark
T/D: Cripps + McComb
Out: Bowey, Rachele, JHF
In: Pendlebury, Parker, McComb
Team after trade:
D Sicily, Pendlebury, Hewett, Dale, Short, NOD (McCartin, SDK)
M Macrae, Neale, Oliver, Parish, Miller, Brayshaw, Cripps, Daicos (Mead, MacDonald, McComb)
R Preuss, Hayes (Dixon)
F Dunkley, Parker, Brodie, Butters, Coniglio, Martin (Xerri, Dixon)
21 Trades (had to fix loads) and $67k ITB
I know the ruck line is soft… Xerri and another rookie to be named become English when he’s back to give it a boost. When Hayes is fattened he and another cow become Gawn or the best available for price, swinging English forward. I’ll look at rounding out the remaining spots in midfield and defence with best available at price as well.
Would really appreciate commentary on this weeks rookie from the community. Currently McComb as I think there may be a spot for him to the byes with Hunter not in the side. Or, should it be Clark instead?
Tu McComb
Td Clark
Feel free to comment on the team/strategy.
Should also point out that the plan is definitely to pull the trigger on Clark next week regardless.
O’Driscoll to Clark
Rachele to Parker
Leaves 26 trades and $161.1k ITB.
TU; Do it
TD: Hold the trades
Thanks !
Whos the better option?
TU: Gawn
TD: Stewart
Is it worth it to get preuss still with a breakeven of -13 so that I can get sam hayes off the field.
TU: Yes
TD: No
If you see Preuss as your R2 keeper, then yes.
He will break, history says so
Who goes first? I’m thinking in order –
Nod, Berry, Durdin , Jhf, N. Caicos.
I reckon NOD could make a bit more money yet- North, Gold Coast and Collingwood coming up, not a bad little run. Berry a decent couple of games coming up too where there’s potential for big scoring. JHF going out for me
Durdin, Berry, JHF, Nod, Daicos
So I started Jake Lloyd…has not had a SC friendly role this year, averaging 90 in a sea of 100+ defenders.
I have Short, Crisp, Hewett, Sicily, Gibcus.
Is it worth looking at someone offering value and high consistency, 60k in the bank would get me a Pendlebury, Dale or May.
TU: Yep, move him onto one of those three, not his year
TD: No, stick it out
Hold onto Lloyd and focus on upgrading your rookies to premiums for now.
If you have trades left and you’re still not happy with Lloyd later in the year then you could potentially consider it as somewhat of a luxury trade.
Breathe and don’t trade Premos until full premo. Got it. Thanks
He’s just the type of player to severely punish you for trading out.
I traded him in 2 weeks ago because i was getting uncomfortable not having him.
He’s not doing great but has a great floor and i feel relaxed now.
I think I will be going JHF & Rachelle out with Parker and Clark in, gives me $192K for next weeks trades. Is Parker the real deal but????
T/U
T/D
He’s always been the real deal. He’s just not consistent.
He’ll average 105-115. But still put in some sub par scores. He can lose you a couple of matches for the rest of the year but for the price will win you at least as many.
Parker- 2=gangbusters, 1=premium type score, 1=just par, 2= rookie type score, and 1 30 odd shambles,
Where does he play , cbas are 70% ish now but, the horse just likes to win games and if we knew heeney, parker, midtime makes it easy but it will change every week so there lies the conundrum.
Hi just wondering who the better long term option maybe ?
TU Andrew Bradshaw
TD Touk Miller
Thanks again
Really surprised by the amount of coaches going early on Clarke.
Should remember the SC Golden rule & wait for the 1st price rise as it has its risk.
Very true but this season is all about going early so far. Burn thru those trades!
Clarke is a good bet if he gets you another premium in.
Gidday T,
have to disagree, SC is a marathon not a sprint. ‘ Burn those trades” is not a option.
🙂
Most of us had him locked in preseason until disaster struck.
Thinking of…
Whitfield to McComb
Naish to Gawn
Rookies on field will be Daicos, JHF, De Koning/Rosas
T/U – Go for it
T/D – Wait on Gawn and upgrade elsewhere
For the downgrade target:
TU: Curtis (playing in a roos team that is less likely to drop a kid)
TD: McComb (looks ok and is cheaper but Bevo can change his mind in a heartbeat)
thoughts?
sam skinner[hasn’t played since round 2-3]-Clark
next week
JHF-upgrade to premo
Ward-downgrade to carrol or begg
obviously if JHF plays well i’ll hold for longer
altogether thoughts?
TU
TD
have two options this week.
TU: use two trades and get in parker (xerri, rachele – clark and parker)
TD: use three trades and get in Gawn (xerri, rachele, mccartin -clark, mccomb and gawn)
This weeks trades:
Out: Berry, McCreery
In: McComb and Curtis.
I can use a trade boost to get either Gawn or Parker. But, I can loophole Curtis and S Hayes with J Hayes. If a miracle happen and Curtis gets a Ton and Hayes doesn’t. I’ll get Gawn. If a miracle happens and S Hayes gets a Ton and Curtis doesn’t I’ll get Parker. If by a near impossible outcome and both S Hayes and Curtis both get Tons I will just get Gawn for my piece of mind.
Trade in:
TU: Short
TD: Dale (Better for bye structure and a POD)
T/U – Option 1:
Rachele > Clark
H. Dixon > Parker
T/D – Option 2
Rachele > Clark
NOD > Stewart
Thanks everyone 🙂
I’ve planned to go Berry(M8) and Rachele(M9) to Brayshaw and Clark.
Leaves me with 200k in the bank but isn’t enough to get another premium in from a bench rookie.
Should I trade a Daicos(D5) and get a premium($587k) or downgrade a J.Hayes(R3, Who I still have because others have been more a priority) to a McComb/ Strnadica/Curtis or early on Carroll.
TU: Hold Trade
TD: Trade Daicos
Comment: Downgrade Hayes to Who??
With Macrae about to lose all sorts of cash over the next couple of weeks is it completely crazy to consider trading him for a clark type to upgrade hayes (R2) to gawn? Feel like its just a waste of trades but have considered it.
T/U crazy
T/D crazy
NEED HELP!!
Been tossing up with two scenarios
T/U: Rachele>clark
NOD>Mccomb
would have both on bench, loopholing mccomb, would also leave me with 398k ITB
T/D NOD>Clark
Rachele> Moore
Really liked how moores looking this year, could also be a great POD, howver only have 3k ITB:(
Both scenarios have their pros and cons, just really need some expert advice, comment if there is anything you would change please
I always find it funny that people write options like this. How about:
TU McComb + $398K
TD Moore + $3K
And then explain what the plan is for the extra money in option A, because that’s very important.
Clark comes in next week but this week…
Out – Jackson, Rachele, Chapman
In – Cripps, Curtis and at F2???
T/U – Parker
T/D – Moore
Struggling for rookies if jHF is getting the Rookie of the year vote for the week and everyone is trading him out.
God bless us with rookies…
Double/double down for the next week and got hard towards the byes
T/U – Tom Stewart
T/D – Luke Parker + 90k
Cheers
The same question I had!
Was always planning to go Stewart this week but his big score means I’ll need a boost to get him now. 600k is a lot to pay for a defender this year But I think it’s still the time to jump on now otherwise it won’t be for a while and he’ll be in the top 2 defenders I would say by end of year.
Yep my exact thoughts Sim, I think we know for almost a fact that barring injury Stewart will be a top 6 defender. I think Parker probably will be too. But the consistency of Stewart is crazy and he’s so easy on the eye to have in your team. I hate not having him. So will just pay up for him now I think!!
With Keidean Coleman back, Zorko played almost as a pure mid this week again with an immediate good score. Tempting to go for him as a POD, especially because he’s a lot cheaper than the other premos.
TU: Yes
TD: No
Who is the bigger priority this week – Miller or Parker?
Instead, try and get both by doing:
OUT Butters ($449,600) Daicos ($379,600) O’Driscoll ($303,800)
IN Clark ($117,300) Parker ($518,800) Miller ($592,100)
TU yes do it two premo upgrades in 3 trades
TD no don’t, sacrificing good players early
Butters is a Premo with a high ceiling and has a decent chance to outscore Parker/Miller any given round.
I would advise against using a boost to sideswap a healthy premo until your team is complete
thanks for your help mate, appreciate it
Who’s the bigger priority this week
Cripps
Parker
Check how many r12 premos you have. Cripps would be the preferred (as per the poll results) unless you are already loaded with r12 players.
Plan is to bring in Witt’s
Who to trade out?
TU: Daicos
TD: Chapman
TU : Horne Francais
TD : O Driscoll
With so many rookies potentially on the bubble next week, keeping cash on hand this week seems to be a waste. Time to spend up:
OUT: Daicos, Berry and Rachele
IN: Pendlebury, Parker and McComb
Pendles is a boring option but I feel like that’s exactly what my team needs right now.
I’m with you Chillo – some “Pendles boring” is good for my backline 🙂 🙂
And there is some potentially very good rooks on the bubble next week for downgrades (Clark, Carroll, maybe Hamilton, maybe Rioli).
So for me this week (with $170k in the bank), I am thinking of using a third trade boost & going:
Out – Caldwell ($380k), Xerri ($346k) and Rachele ($273k)
In – McComb ($102k), Pendles ($542.7k) and Parker ($518.8k)
Leaves me with only $6k in the bank – and still needing to get Stewart and Docherty into my DEF at some point (as can’t afford them now).
T/U Good moves
T/D Need to rethink
Comment – swap Pendles for either Bailey Dale or Dan Houston or Daniel Rich or Jake Lloyd ?
is lipinski a hold to at least the bye rounds?
otherwise i can trade him in for parker
TU
TD
TU get parker
TD hold lipinski
TU: Dale
TD: Sicily
Thanks guys!!
Thoughts on these please, leaves me 22 Trades & 2 boosts with 4K ITB
Bowey – Short
Berry – Parker (Via N Martin)
Horne-Francis – Clark
My team is then:
DEF: Crisp, Hewett, Short, Ridley, Daicos, De Koning (McCartin & Boyd)
MID: Neale, McRae, Oliver, Cripps, Miller, Mitchell, M Crouch, Martin (O’Driscoll, Clark & Hough)
Ruck: Gawn & Preuss (S Hayes)
FWD: Dunkley, Treloar, Parker, Butters, Coniglio, Rosas (Dixon & Vaselenti)
4 definite upgrades (maybe up to an extra 3 with Butters, Pruess & M Crouch)
So in terms of upgrades/downgrades I’m looking at
Out – Daicos, De Koning, McCartin, Martin, O’Driscoll, Clark, S Hayes, Rosas & Dixon
Targets – Stewart, Docherty/Sinclair, Steele/Wines, English/ Heeney
Reckon you should be looking at getting those rooks off the field first before upgrading midpricers. Also Bowey and Berry are R14 bye players, ideal for trading out at their bye which gives 2 extra playing bye players. Get Clark and uprade a McCartin type maybe? Just my thoughts.
I missed out getting Rosas last week. Is he still worth bringing in?
TU Yes good security and money to be made
TD No bring in Curtis/Hamilton/Rioli instead
Curtis IMO
Thanks all! Like Curtis too coz of the last bye! Done
TU – Docherty
TD – Crisp
Backline is weak and these are the highest I can afford trading out NOD. Docherty has a significantly higher average so leaning towards him.
Can someone explain why Llyod from Sydney Swan is scoring low?
Playing more direct out of the backline. No chipping around.
TU: Heeney
TD: Parker
Is it absolutely necessary to trade out Rowell???
Nope. Low BE, extracting the ball well.
Will be held til the byes on my end, most likely turns into Steele in R13.
I was also looking at keeping Rowell but can’t wait any longer to bring Gawn in. Melbs next 5 matches have some tasty points for a class ruck like him.
For Gawn I’d make an exception aha.
Not a bad move at all.
Not liking how some juicy potential cash cows are round 12 byes … Carroll- blues, Rioli- rich, Hamilton- gws
Not making it any easier- most of my defence already round 12 byes!
TU: Daicos, NOD & J Hayes out > Parker, Cripps & G. Clark in leaves $27k ITB
TD: Daicos, Rachele & J Hayes out > Parker, Cripps & McComb in $11.4k ITB (if TD I’ll be downgrading to Clark & Carroll next week)
TU-Luke Parker(probably cursed now with high trade ins,can pick up later but great value now)
TD-Tom Stewart(now or never, will have Completed my defence
by the time he drops in price, probably No1-2 overall)
TU: Out – Hough and Whitfield
In – McComb and Sicily
TD: Out – O’Driscoll and Horne Francis
In -McComb and Brayshaw
Already have Parker, Cripps, Touk and Petracca
I feel this attacking but tempting,
Out
Daicos, Brodie, Berry
In
Short, Parker, Mccoombe
Is English still a hold? Feels like $$ just sitting on the bench
TU Hold
TD Trade
Expected to play next week. Slight chance for this week but likely to wait another week.
You held him this long so another week shouldn’t matter. Will be a top forward this season.
Hold.
T/u: out: nod,rachele,jhf. In Stewart,Clark, mccomb
This would mean Clark on ground.
Or
T/d out jhf, rachele,ward. In T Miller, mccomb, g Clark.
Interested in thoughts or alternative suggestions.
