I’d focus on getting your poor scoring rookies off of the field first before sideways trading Oliver. He’s definitely not at the level we expect from him but scores of 98/91/86/98/80 in his last 5 isn’t *awful*. Not ideal but surely there’s bigger fish to fry at the moment.
Not when his next game od against West Coast. You need to also take into account the fixture as well. I’d at least hold on to him for one more week and then trade him if he still underperforms.
He’s averaging 96.6 and holding his value, he’s not exactly burning a hole in anyone’s pocket. Definitely a trade at some point, just depends on where your teams at and who you have on field, especially with a good fixture next week. Id say he’s way down on the priorities, but it’s not impossible that you don’t have anything better to do.
Playing for overall, currently sitting in the top 1k
Not having Gawn is killing me now, however the only avenue is through TDK. It helps my bye structure and it also doesn’t stall my upgrades. Not to mention, Max runs into the eagles next weekend. As a TDK owner, there is always going to be that Pitonett factor lingering in the background too, he will surely come into the side eventually. Yes I know TDK scored very well this week, however I fully expect Xerri & Gawn to be R1&R2 (Not sure what order).
The way I’d look at it is, do you think the difference in scoring between TDK and Gawn will be larger than upgrading a rookie to a premo? For example, if you think Davidson/Lindsay/insert rookie you have on field will score about 70 and Gawn about 130 over the next few rounds, that’s a total of 200. But if you think TDK will go about 110, and you upgrade that rookie to a premo who goes at about 100, that’s a total of 210 between the two (these numbers are just examples, you plug whatever you expect each player to average in).
So it’s basically up to how big do you think Gawn will go/how much cash you have to invest to upgrade a rookie vs upgrading TDK to Gawn. For me personally, I would focus on upgrading on field rookies to premos before going sideways, but I’m also not in the top 1k (top 6k as of round 6), so take that with a grain of salt.
If Pitto is ever named alongside TDK then that’s an entirely different story…
Appreciate the input mate and totally understand what you are saying. As mentioned, the trade wont be stalling my upgrades elsewhere though, this is a big reason why I’m heavily considering it at the moment.
It’s not Gawn specifically that’s killing you it’s the 3 ruck set up that people are going with that’s the key to success this season as well as starting with brayshaw and having Whitfield and Sinclair (who’s dropped a few poor ones by his standard ) that’s where the top teams are making their points whilst other teams have weaker def premiums like Holmes etc and serong in the mids
Anyone have any thoughts on Kennedy, from bulldogs, he has a great heatmap playing midfield getting 20+ touches and hopefully kicking at least a goal a game
I think he’ll be a cheap forward premium at the moment when I already have Rankine, macrae and Daniel.
Having a look at It, probaly won’t be getting Kennedy now with Treloar coming back next week, could end up just being a sideways trade, I’m not taking that risk.
Looking for value this week, so going to try to do a double upgrade with roughly 200k sitting in the bank.
Rookie number 1 (probably Davidson) -> Warner
Rookie number 2 (probably Prior) -> Freijah
Warner looks to be back to his best, cheap as, and forward DPP makes him super valuable IMO
Freijah also looks a million times better with Bont back and at about 400k and DEF DPP is a steal if this form keeps up.
May have to make a change of plans as Cerra appeared to have a groin niggle + he might cop some attention from the MRO for a high hit. Cross that bridge when we come to it though.
Might just be a cramp, with his history I was just a bit nervous, that’s all.
Speaking of history, considering some of the baffling decisions made by the MRO recently it should be a fine and that’s it, but it wouldn’t shock me if they give him weeks for absolutely no reason. A week off is a hold though, I agree.
Watching the Sydney game warner was looking amazing, like you said, at his best, i wouldn’t be judging off that one game, look for someone alot more reliable. This is just my opinion feel free to do what ever you like but yea, with bong back freijha looks amazing, shame I traded him 3 weeks ago.
If he was a MID only I wouldn’t be going for Chad just yet, but as a forward his margin for error is much larger, only needs to average 95+ from here on out to finish as a top forward, anything else is a massive bonus. His last two years he’s averaged 100+ and I think he can get there again.
Might also look at Rozee or Kennedy, hard to tell before Supercoach opens and I know exactly how much money I’m working with.
I really like this, I don’t feel like I have the trade bank to take too many risks so warner off one game might still be too much of a risk to fill my last forward slot. But freijah at the price looks a solid bet with relatively low risk if I have to sideways him later. Considering him and rozee I think this week.
UPDATE: I’m 5k short from doing the above, kill me lmao. Probably just going Davidson to Freijah and leaving it at that, getting Chad in would require sideways trading which at that point isn’t worth it anymore.
Kennedy looks to have had a more consistent scoring record than trac, and petracca has only tonned once against weak opposition, he’s also slightly more expensive.
I like Trac but it just seems like a better more reliable and cheaper option at the moment, with a lower breakeven if I have to sideways for some reason.
That’s a really good point. The upside of trac is that I can count on him averaging at least 90ish from here on out, while I’m not as knowledgeable of Kennedy and what might happen to his scoring.
Yeah fair enough, the only other rookie option I have is Brock probably in defence. Any chance he gets named again in the near future, could take the extra 20k if they both have bad js.
I’m honestly sick of commentators mostly saying how he is such a beautiful kick of the footy and one of the best in the comp.
I’ve watched him pretty closely the last 3 weeks and have noticed his decision making is really poor, he’s to slow to get rid of the ball and he butches it a lot. With disposal efficiency of 38,52 and 42 in the last 3, in which kicking would be a lot worse is he a trade to Rozee which i can facilitate??
Could be ranting a little bit and hate trading premiums, but with his kicking I really can’t see him being a top 10 mid.
One of my big regrets starting Dawson at M2 instead of Brayshaw. I fell for him last year too, thought he’d bounce back this year. But I’m holding for now, got other issues to deal with
I know the golden rule is to not trade your premo’s, but far out Stewart is not looking like a top 6-8 DEF. Not quite ready to upgrade my rookies yet who are still rising in price and wanting just some reliable points in my backline. I know people are talking bad about Oliver, but at least he’s not off back to back 60’s.
Tu – trade to someone like Clark or comment a better option (have Whitfield, sheezel and Roberts)
Yeah I’d normally hold, but he’s dropping like 20-30k probably and doesn’t look great. There’s always a chance he works his way back into the season and you regret wasting the trade later so I’d be very sure there’s no other trade priorities though.
I’m in the same boat. He’s clearly not 100% so I’m leaning towards trading him this week as it sounds like he’ll be carrying his injury all season which will diminish his scoring, plus clubs again are putting plenty of attention into him
I traded him in last year after the byes because he was ‘discounted’.
I was in 44th position at the time – worst decision I made all year.
So, yes, trade him!
Current state of affairs
DEF – Whitfield, Sheezel, Clark, Dale, Bice, Reid (Carrol, Leak)
MID – Daicos, Zerret, Serong, Neale, Cerra, Oliver, Lindsay, Moraes (Hall, Gross, Camporeale)
RUCK – Xerri, De Koning (Boyd)
FWD – Horne-Francis, Smith, Macrae, Daniel, Powell-Pepper, Davidson (Cleary, Stone)
FLEX – Freijah
Definitely going Hall -> Hustwaite, just need a more reliable on field rookie and he seems to be out of the west coast side
For the second trade, looking at either;
TU: Dale -> Sinclair/NAS (Dale clearly not looking like a keeper atp, however could bounce back)
TD: Davidson -> Freijah
Comment: Just leave it at one trade for the week
Dale has almost lost all his value. Will surely have a spike score coming and will get back to $500k. Thats when you sell around the byes (thats my plan anyway). Worst case if he becomes Mills or even Holmes or Zorko who are dropping in value
1. My midfield stinks worse than last week’s garbage – top score last weekend was Newcombe with an even 100
2. I can not pick a captain to save my life
So, righting wrongs from last week:
LAshcroft and AReid out
Bont and Sims in
Yes, for about the tenth year in a row I’m overpaying for Bont but I think it’s justified. I was at Manuka on Saturday night and he just cruised around and scored 128. It’s quite ridiculous to watch at times and I feel like the overage on price is worth it for the safe C every week. Plus, I have lots of ground to make up and he’s still relatively PODish.
In two minds now that my previous plan has been foiled. I’m about to confess something truly barbaric, so hopefully you’ll all still treat me with kindness after hearing what I have to say…
**In nearly 10 years of playing supercoach, I’ve never owned Marcus Bontempelli**
I know! I know! Put me in the stocks, throw vegetables at me, I deserve it! But he’s always just been far too expensive and I can never justify spending that much money on a player to start the season, then all of a sudden he’s 700k and I can never get him in.
After seeing him in second gear and then subbed off and STILL nearly score 130 on the weekend, that might have to change, especially with how weak my midfield is currently.
So what do I do? Original plan of looking for value or go all in on Bont?
T/U: Davidson -> OMac/other Rookie, Ashcroft -> Bont, 50k in the bank
Such a tough call. Couldn’t blame anyone for targeting bont with how he’s looking, but at the same time freijah seems like the traditionally better play. Id say getting greedy has tended to hurt me in the past so I’d do the disciplined play of not buying anyone at peak price but by doing that bont probably averages 150 for the rest of the season.
The disciplined play of not buying anyone at peak price is exactly why I’ve never owned Bont! I’m just in two minds, because it wouldn’t shock me if this was his *lowest* price all year.
That being said I’ll make all these moves to trade him in and he’ll score 70 this week. More research is definitely required…
Need to boost my mids as they are my weak link. Preferably someone under $600k
TU Serong
TD Dunkley
Comment if anyone else is preferred I might’ve missed. Have Neale, Kelly, Oliver and Callaghan
If you’re planning on a Ruck in flex long term it’s probably worth it Bo IMO. Check which cheap R/F has the most Sunday games though for loophole purposes.
If I have got the cash too, which I do, is it worth upgrading Oliver to bont, I know the dee’s are playing west coast but is it worth waiting that week to get bont?
TU, Oliver to bont
TD, get my rookies right
Tempted to use a boost and trade Hastie who is rotting on my bench to McDonald? But I’d have to use a boost. I also don’t know what to do with M. Reid.
Is it viable to trade out Reid & Prior this week if it allows you to bring in someone like Petracca?
Missing out on further price rises from culling those rookies early, however Petracca will only rise with them if that makes sense. A sub 500k Trac as a fwd seems great value.
wouldn’t do petracca next week, take him now or never because he’s playing eagles this week and after that he won’t be worth it at his increased price.
Reckon I’m going to get a big fish now, but the question is, which one? Who we trust more?
T/U: Bont
T/D: Gawn (at Flex) + 50k-ish.
Leaning Gawn due to slightly lower price, Bont coming back from injury, Gawn’s upcoming fixture, plus having 3 rucks during byes sounds tasty (especially with my current two rucks sharing a bye), although hard to look past Bont’s scoring power + form.
Additionally, worth using a boost to go Maric to Freijah? Maric about to hit his ceiling price wise and Freijah I really, really like at his price, would only leave me with one boost left though which makes me incredibly nervous, but would only have 5 spots left to upgrade after that which I’m optimistic I can do with only 1 boost.
T/U: Do it, last chance to get Freijah at a decent price.
T/D: Too risky, need to save those boosts for when you REALLY need them.
I have tried the idea of using my boosts all really early to get the best team, and it has worked as i am top 5k, thats just what i have done, there is nothing wrong with using boosts, they are there to be used, if u feel like it i would use it.
I need to create a bit of depth in my midfield as I had no benchwarmers playing last round.
Out – Sanders and Knevitt
In – Rozee and Freijah.
Ideally I would have liked to keep Sanders and trade Davidson or even LAshcroft but didnt have enough $
My midfield bench is now FOS, Boxhall and Gross (both must be close to plaything this week).
I dont think i will do any trades this week, no rookies really stand out and i have only got 5 rookies on field, projected 2380
TU dont do any trades
TD downgrade my rookies to bring chashflow
Deficit ~15k from this trade. Leaves 28.5k ITB. Lalor price stalled and Frejiah -5 makes me think this is the right time although rd 12 doggies bye is main drawback. Also let’s me get rid of dead rookie in Tsatas
He is our third string back-up fwd / ruck behind Jacko and Voss. If you already have a number of dead rookies i would look elsewhere as he may give you one more game and then he will be out.
Freijah started with 100’s the first two rounds so I brought him in and then he went 70, 50 & 50 odd, so I traded in out only for him to go 120 and 115 odd in the last two,
I’m holding would love to get Warner as a forward but don’t want to go early on huswaite as have pepper hall still making coin. A wise cow talker told me trades are gold don’t burn through them.
Time for Oliver to go. He’s taking up a midfield spot, he’s not making money, and he’s not premium scoring. No benefit to him.
I’d focus on getting your poor scoring rookies off of the field first before sideways trading Oliver. He’s definitely not at the level we expect from him but scores of 98/91/86/98/80 in his last 5 isn’t *awful*. Not ideal but surely there’s bigger fish to fry at the moment.
Eh, if you have decent on field rookies who are scoring okay, you may as well bite the bullet on Oliver.
Not when his next game od against West Coast. You need to also take into account the fixture as well. I’d at least hold on to him for one more week and then trade him if he still underperforms.
I agree he’s frustrating as hell, but BE is 87. One more week and if he doesn’t spike, he can go to Bont.
He’s averaging 96.6 and holding his value, he’s not exactly burning a hole in anyone’s pocket. Definitely a trade at some point, just depends on where your teams at and who you have on field, especially with a good fixture next week. Id say he’s way down on the priorities, but it’s not impossible that you don’t have anything better to do.
Already racked 21 touches at end of 3rd quarter, can we go early on Hustwaite?
Playing for overall, currently sitting in the top 1k
Not having Gawn is killing me now, however the only avenue is through TDK. It helps my bye structure and it also doesn’t stall my upgrades. Not to mention, Max runs into the eagles next weekend. As a TDK owner, there is always going to be that Pitonett factor lingering in the background too, he will surely come into the side eventually. Yes I know TDK scored very well this week, however I fully expect Xerri & Gawn to be R1&R2 (Not sure what order).
TDK > Gawn
Tu or Td
Thoughts appreciated, cheers in advance!
Yea, gawn will dominate next week hopefully versing Flynn.
The way I’d look at it is, do you think the difference in scoring between TDK and Gawn will be larger than upgrading a rookie to a premo? For example, if you think Davidson/Lindsay/insert rookie you have on field will score about 70 and Gawn about 130 over the next few rounds, that’s a total of 200.

Appreciate the input mate and totally understand what you are saying. As mentioned, the trade wont be stalling my upgrades elsewhere though, this is a big reason why I’m heavily considering it at the moment.
If it doesn’t stall upgrades then I say go for it. Have a feeling he’s going to go massive next week.
Cheers!
I just had a workmate who is doing well in SC trade Xerri for Flynn this week smh
Absolutely not.
Simply not how you play this game.
The outright, even tepid, approvals of TDK -> Gawn are stunning me.
If Pitto was back and TDK was eating ass, fine. He just went 135.
I don’t see how not owning Maxxy could possibly be “killing” you. They’re level on total points.
Great job on ranking. Keep improving your team in terms of keepers and points OF.
It’s not Gawn specifically that’s killing you it’s the 3 ruck set up that people are going with that’s the key to success this season as well as starting with brayshaw and having Whitfield and Sinclair (who’s dropped a few poor ones by his standard ) that’s where the top teams are making their points whilst other teams have weaker def premiums like Holmes etc and serong in the mids
Why not have all 3? Gawn = Flex. Welcome.
Anyone have any thoughts on Kennedy, from bulldogs, he has a great heatmap playing midfield getting 20+ touches and hopefully kicking at least a goal a game
I think he’ll be a cheap forward premium at the moment when I already have Rankine, macrae and Daniel.
A good upgrade from a rookie
Great player, just worry how his role will change when (or if) Treloar comes back.
Bevo loves to move Bam down to the HF line and he freezes down there.
Who is bevo?
That is a concern about Treloar coming back.
Coach
Having a look at It, probaly won’t be getting Kennedy now with Treloar coming back next week, could end up just being a sideways trade, I’m not taking that risk.
Moranus -> Hustwaite
Prior -> Warner
Moranus!
Rick
Looking for value this week, so going to try to do a double upgrade with roughly 200k sitting in the bank.
Rookie number 1 (probably Davidson) -> Warner
Rookie number 2 (probably Prior) -> Freijah
Warner looks to be back to his best, cheap as, and forward DPP makes him super valuable IMO
Freijah also looks a million times better with Bont back and at about 400k and DEF DPP is a steal if this form keeps up.
May have to make a change of plans as Cerra appeared to have a groin niggle + he might cop some attention from the MRO for a high hit. Cross that bridge when we come to it though.
Thought Cerra was just cramp? And wasnt aware of anything with MRO attention but if its a one weeker surely its a hold?
Might just be a cramp, with his history I was just a bit nervous, that’s all.
Speaking of history, considering some of the baffling decisions made by the MRO recently it should be a fine and that’s it, but it wouldn’t shock me if they give him weeks for absolutely no reason. A week off is a hold though, I agree.

I really like this, I don’t feel like I have the trade bank to take too many risks so warner off one game might still be too much of a risk to fill my last forward slot. But freijah at the price looks a solid bet with relatively low risk if I have to sideways him later. Considering him and rozee I think this week.
UPDATE: I’m 5k short from doing the above, kill me lmao. Probably just going Davidson to Freijah and leaving it at that, getting Chad in would require sideways trading which at that point isn’t worth it anymore.
Thoughts on getting rid of cripps or Oliver
Like Oliver’s run better but Carlton face west coast and north again later on
TU – Cripps
TD- Oliver
Keep Oliver this week as they are versing west coast and can hopefully have a small price rise
Zach Guthrie to Freijah
TU: Do it
TD: Nope. Sideways
Kennedy looks to have had a more consistent scoring record than trac, and petracca has only tonned once against weak opposition, he’s also slightly more expensive.
I like Trac but it just seems like a better more reliable and cheaper option at the moment, with a lower breakeven if I have to sideways for some reason.
Tu- Kennedy
Td- Petracca
I also don’t trust Trac won’t get thrown forward again later this season.
I’m also tossing up between these two. However Treloar is expected to be back in next week or so, how will that affect Kennedy?
That’s a really good point. The upside of trac is that I can count on him averaging at least 90ish from here on out, while I’m not as knowledgeable of Kennedy and what might happen to his scoring.
Treloar returning plus the loss of Darcy screams Kennedy Fwd imo
Washcroft to Butters or Bont
Also is Oscar McDonald a reasonable rookie downgrade, need a defender to make my trades work.
Need to see what they do with Jackson coming back.
McDonald was good but I don’t see them dropping Amiss or Darcy. 2 goals but only 9 touches, so not super critical to their scoring chain.
If he stays in the 22, sure. But definitely need to see sheets.
Yeah fair enough, the only other rookie option I have is Brock probably in defence. Any chance he gets named again in the near future, could take the extra 20k if they both have bad js.
Brock was quiet in the WAFL but plays again at some point. All our kids do.
Value premos to bring in this week?
Worth going early on Hustwaite if it helps with an upgrade?
Trying to avoid a Clay Hall type who has 1-2 prices then dropped. But literally no cheap bubble rookies available this week
Tu: Bring in Petracca this week
Td: Bring in Sinclair next week
Can only get one
Petracca will come at expense of a boost, where as Sinclair won’t.
Who to trade Kennedy in for? I have 190k in bank
Rankine TU or Trac TD
Thoughts on Jordan Dawson….
I’m honestly sick of commentators mostly saying how he is such a beautiful kick of the footy and one of the best in the comp.
I’ve watched him pretty closely the last 3 weeks and have noticed his decision making is really poor, he’s to slow to get rid of the ball and he butches it a lot. With disposal efficiency of 38,52 and 42 in the last 3, in which kicking would be a lot worse is he a trade to Rozee which i can facilitate??
Could be ranting a little bit and hate trading premiums, but with his kicking I really can’t see him being a top 10 mid.
Cheers for reading legends x
He’s a hard watch isn’t he, just bombs it everytime
One of my big regrets starting Dawson at M2 instead of Brayshaw. I fell for him last year too, thought he’d bounce back this year. But I’m holding for now, got other issues to deal with
Who to bring in this week
TU – Neale
TD – Trac
TU: this week lalor, Lashcroft + Dale > L.neale, trac + boyd
then next week go kayo + maric > sinclair + rookie
TD: lalor + Ashcroft > trac + boyd
next week maric, Reid + Oliver > sheezel (or another fallen premo) + Sinclair + rookie (hustwhaite?)
worried with sheezel my team becomes very rd12 bye heavy
Oliver/dale for TD
Murphy Reid has to go, but which rookie should also go with him:
TU – L Ashcroft
TD – Davidson
Since they have similar scoring profiles and BEs I’m leaning towards Ashcroft to cash in on his higher price
I know the golden rule is to not trade your premo’s, but far out Stewart is not looking like a top 6-8 DEF. Not quite ready to upgrade my rookies yet who are still rising in price and wanting just some reliable points in my backline. I know people are talking bad about Oliver, but at least he’s not off back to back 60’s.
Tu – trade to someone like Clark or comment a better option (have Whitfield, sheezel and Roberts)
Td – gotta stick with him
Not fit, possibly not a premo anymore. Unpopular opinion but I reckon sometimes you just have to cut the cord
Yeah I’d normally hold, but he’s dropping like 20-30k probably and doesn’t look great. There’s always a chance he works his way back into the season and you regret wasting the trade later so I’d be very sure there’s no other trade priorities though.
I’m in the same boat. He’s clearly not 100% so I’m leaning towards trading him this week as it sounds like he’ll be carrying his injury all season which will diminish his scoring, plus clubs again are putting plenty of attention into him
I traded him in last year after the byes because he was ‘discounted’.
I was in 44th position at the time – worst decision I made all year.
So, yes, trade him!
Current state of affairs
DEF – Whitfield, Sheezel, Clark, Dale, Bice, Reid (Carrol, Leak)
MID – Daicos, Zerret, Serong, Neale, Cerra, Oliver, Lindsay, Moraes (Hall, Gross, Camporeale)
RUCK – Xerri, De Koning (Boyd)
FWD – Horne-Francis, Smith, Macrae, Daniel, Powell-Pepper, Davidson (Cleary, Stone)
FLEX – Freijah
Definitely going Hall -> Hustwaite, just need a more reliable on field rookie and he seems to be out of the west coast side
For the second trade, looking at either;
TU: Dale -> Sinclair/NAS (Dale clearly not looking like a keeper atp, however could bounce back)
TD: Davidson -> Freijah
Comment: Just leave it at one trade for the week
Comment: Just leave it at one trade for the week
Dale has almost lost all his value. Will surely have a spike score coming and will get back to $500k. Thats when you sell around the byes (thats my plan anyway). Worst case if he becomes Mills or even Holmes or Zorko who are dropping in value
Archer Reid > Livingstone
Short > Dunkley
TU Yes Do it
TD No Don’t bad trades – wait for other fallen premos
If you could only get 1 this week – already have Neale
TU Dunkley
TD Pereacca
TU Short > Tracc
TD Go early on Maric to get Tracc
Lashcroft, Davidson —-> Rankine Hustwaite
FWD line completed
T/U or T/D
Who needs to go first?
TU: Tsatas
TD; Hall
I have two major problems:
1. My midfield stinks worse than last week’s garbage – top score last weekend was Newcombe with an even 100
2. I can not pick a captain to save my life
So, righting wrongs from last week:
LAshcroft and AReid out
Bont and Sims in
Yes, for about the tenth year in a row I’m overpaying for Bont but I think it’s justified. I was at Manuka on Saturday night and he just cruised around and scored 128. It’s quite ridiculous to watch at times and I feel like the overage on price is worth it for the safe C every week. Plus, I have lots of ground to make up and he’s still relatively PODish.
Yeah if I’m going to overpay for anyone it’s the bont atm. Just looks like a cheat code for super coach scoring currently.
TU- Lalor > Chad Warner
TD- Davidson > Tracca
Still trying to work out trade plans..
This week:
Prior > O.McDonald (if he holds his spot)
Tsatas > Hustwaite
C.Hall > Petracca
Next week:
Reid > Buslinger
Levi > Sinclair
Is it worth using a boost this week to bring in Trac?
Tu or Td
In two minds now that my previous plan has been foiled. I’m about to confess something truly barbaric, so hopefully you’ll all still treat me with kindness after hearing what I have to say…
**In nearly 10 years of playing supercoach, I’ve never owned Marcus Bontempelli**

So what do I do? Original plan of looking for value or go all in on Bont?
T/U: Davidson -> OMac/other Rookie, Ashcroft -> Bont, 50k in the bank

That being said I’ll make all these moves to trade him in and he’ll score 70 this week. More research is definitely required…
Need to boost my mids as they are my weak link. Preferably someone under $600k
TU Serong
TD Dunkley
Comment if anyone else is preferred I might’ve missed. Have Neale, Kelly, Oliver and Callaghan
Which combination?
Z.Guthrie+S.Davidson+M.Reid out for:
TU: C.Rozee+J.Friejah+H.Hustwaite
TD: Bont+Hustwaite+Busslinger
Thanks
TU: Bont
TD: Butters
Bont got 128 having the whole 4th quarter off, feels like a cheat code for captain
Archer Reid > Livingstone to free up $140k. Have Flynn in Flex
TU Yes do it
TD no not worth the trade hold Archer
If you’re planning on a Ruck in flex long term it’s probably worth it Bo IMO. Check which cheap R/F has the most Sunday games though for loophole purposes.
If I have got the cash too, which I do, is it worth upgrading Oliver to bont, I know the dee’s are playing west coast but is it worth waiting that week to get bont?
TU, Oliver to bont
TD, get my rookies right
And if I get bont next week, zorko will be a steal for below 500k?????
What do people think about Oscar McDonald and his job security?
Playing the role that Luke Jackson would play so Treacy doesn’t have to be the 2nd ruck, so will only be good until he’s back.
T/U – Dunkley (needs 2 trades)
T/D – Petracca/ Warner/ Bowey (needs 1 trade)
What to do with Dale…
TU: Dale > Freijah (+77k)
TD: Hold and get him to Sinclair for R9
Is Bowey the real deal?
Tu Hustwaite
TD Buss
Initial plan was Petracca this week, but with SPP’s current form pretty happy with my F6. So which is the better trade:
TU: Prior to a premo Def.
TD: Davidson to a premo Mid.
Jayden Short
TU: Sideways to Freijah
TD: Hold
Moraes – Hust
L.Ashcroft – Petracca
No other ways to get Trac, would like to hand onto Levi sadly..
Hall & Tsatas > Hustwaite & Warner (don’t have enough cash for Trac, Hustwaite will be bench cover in MID)
OR
Tsatas & Lalor > Hustwaite & Newcombe
Would normally try and fix the rookies but there are none on the bubble this week.
Tu: freijah + hustwaite
Td: rankine/trac + Omac
And if td, which one?
First option obviously costs less and will leave me with easily enough cash for Zorko/other premo next week, but not sure if option 2 will
Prior – > O. McDonald
Sanders – > Rankine
?
TU: Rankine
TD: Petracca
O Mac JS is shaky with Jackson returning to side
Simpkin to Rankine
Carrol to Busslinger
TU yes
TD no
Tempted to use a boost and trade Hastie who is rotting on my bench to McDonald? But I’d have to use a boost. I also don’t know what to do with M. Reid.
Update is it better to trade out M Reid for Hust
Promote x Lindsay to the field and trade out Davidson for Rankine and keep Simpkin?
Lots of trading going on at Rd8 are people looking ahead at the bye rounds or are you going to look at that later down the track.
It’s probably time to start looking at them. just be mindful of bringing round 12 premiums in now, if you’ve already got a few
Who’s the better option?
TU Rankine
TD Petracca
Is it viable to trade out Reid & Prior this week if it allows you to bring in someone like Petracca?
Missing out on further price rises from culling those rookies early, however Petracca will only rise with them if that makes sense. A sub 500k Trac as a fwd seems great value.
Tu or Td
TU Butters/Rozee
TD Bont
Petracca next week.
Thoughts please?
wouldn’t do petracca next week, take him now or never because he’s playing eagles this week and after that he won’t be worth it at his increased price.
HELP
Trading out M. Reid and S. Davidson.
Going to bring in H. Hustwaite and either Petracca or Chad Warner.
Tu: Petracca
Td: Chad
Or comment if I should get rid of warner or of this is a stupid trade
Rankine
doing the same trade. should have done it last week, was hoping for a bit more cash.
i feel we need to get Petracca just becuase they have eagles this week
Had another re jig
My two options are
L Ashcroft, E Hewett, M Reid out
Bont, H Davis, H Hustwaite in
Or
Davidson, M Reid, M Carrol out
Rankine, Busslinger, H Hustwaite in
TUP first
TD second
tu: Warner
td: Petracca
Reckon I’m going to get a big fish now, but the question is, which one? Who we trust more?
T/U: Bont
T/D: Gawn (at Flex) + 50k-ish.
Leaning Gawn due to slightly lower price, Bont coming back from injury, Gawn’s upcoming fixture, plus having 3 rucks during byes sounds tasty (especially with my current two rucks sharing a bye), although hard to look past Bont’s scoring power + form.
Additionally, worth using a boost to go Maric to Freijah? Maric about to hit his ceiling price wise and Freijah I really, really like at his price, would only leave me with one boost left though which makes me incredibly nervous, but would only have 5 spots left to upgrade after that which I’m optimistic I can do with only 1 boost.
T/U: Do it, last chance to get Freijah at a decent price.
T/D: Too risky, need to save those boosts for when you REALLY need them.
I have tried the idea of using my boosts all really early to get the best team, and it has worked as i am top 5k, thats just what i have done, there is nothing wrong with using boosts, they are there to be used, if u feel like it i would use it.
Bont has a round 12 bye.
I need to create a bit of depth in my midfield as I had no benchwarmers playing last round.
Out – Sanders and Knevitt
In – Rozee and Freijah.
Ideally I would have liked to keep Sanders and trade Davidson or even LAshcroft but didnt have enough $
My midfield bench is now FOS, Boxhall and Gross (both must be close to plaything this week).
if you were to bring in a bargain premium before their price rises again who would you prioritise out of
T/u Petracca
T/d Neale
Zorko next week, he will be less than 500k
zorko is very old
petracca is too old, first game over 100 was last week versing one of the worst teams, dont see what the craze is about
Think you may have contradicted yourself within 4 minutes there, might be time to let go of it for a while
T/U: N Daicos
T/D: BONT
Cheers.
bont is a cheat code captain but if your struggleing for money easily daicos
I dont think i will do any trades this week, no rookies really stand out and i have only got 5 rookies on field, projected 2380
TU dont do any trades
TD downgrade my rookies to bring chashflow
As long as your rookies are still going to make money keep them.
TU Levi Ashcroft & R. Sanders -> Heeney & rozee
TD Levi & S.Lalor(bench) -> bont & rookie(bench) + 180k for next week
I have Heeney and he is frustrating this year, stay away
Lalor > Hustwaite
Tsatas > Freijah
Deficit ~15k from this trade. Leaves 28.5k ITB. Lalor price stalled and Frejiah -5 makes me think this is the right time although rd 12 doggies bye is main drawback. Also let’s me get rid of dead rookie in Tsatas
TU: Yes
TD: No
Who to bring in?
Libba TU
Neale TD
TU: Oscar McDonald
TD: Jedd Busslinger
If Jackson is back this week, OMac is gone.
He is our third string back-up fwd / ruck behind Jacko and Voss. If you already have a number of dead rookies i would look elsewhere as he may give you one more game and then he will be out.
Who to bring in?
TU: Neale
TD: Xerri
who to trade out
TU Kako
TD Cory Warner
Warner, easily. Kako has the lower BE and gets North this week.
Could make a case for holding both, but if you have to trade then it’s Warner
Freijah started with 100’s the first two rounds so I brought him in and then he went 70, 50 & 50 odd, so I traded in out only for him to go 120 and 115 odd in the last two,
That is the story of my season,
You’re Welcome !
Who you trading out this week? Need to pick my captain.
Who to bring in
T.u bont
T.d butters
Who to trade for Petracca
TU: Lalor
TD: Davidson
After doing Rankine for Davidson
M Reid out for Hustwaite
Is it worth using a boost to trade Simpkin for Trac?
I’m considering not trading Carrol for Busslinger as with SOS out he might keep his spot
Do bombers and suns players both score twice in R24………asking for a friend. Its SC GF week.
TU Rankine
TD Warner
Got Petracca last week
Thanks
TU Warner
TD Petracca
Or in the next comment
TU matt Kennedy over Petracca and Warner
TD No
TU – M. Reid, Davidson > Hustwaite, Rankine 74k ITB
TD – M. Reid, Davidson > Hustwaite, Warner 110k ITB
TU: 1 trade, M Reid to Petracca
TD: 3 trades, M Reid, L Ashcroft, Maric out, Hustwaite, Petracca, Bont in
2nd option leaves me with less cash in bank and going early on Maric, but obviously getting Bont is the benefit
dale really starting to annoy me a lot what to do
TU – trade
TD – hold
Same here mate, but you know the second you trade him he’ll bounce back. Don’t think he can lose too much more value from here (could be wrong).
Best mid for $570
Sheeezl TU
T Miller TD
Or comment for someone else?
Thanks!
Worth trading Cerra to Trac?
Given that he’s out this week
TU – Yes, good move
TD – No, hold him
Cerra might get off
TU: Chad & Libba
TD: Trac & JHF
wait has everyone already been trading out gross
just waiting for him to play so he can get that cash generation but will he, should i bother holding?
Which trade is better
TU Short and Ashcroft out for Daicos and Hustwaite
Or TD Short and Moraes out for Petracca and Hustwaite
Basically this is a Q of the immediate and pressing issue of getting Daicos or Petracca. Which one is the priority?. Thanks in advance
Need to do something as losing most weeks. I’m willing to risk trading in these 2 rookies as have good bench coverage with others
OUT – Lash, Davidson & M Reid
IN – Bont, Hustwaite & Tunstill
TU : Go for it
TD : Cool your jets, Bont can wait.
I’m holding would love to get Warner as a forward but don’t want to go early on huswaite as have pepper hall still making coin. A wise cow talker told me trades are gold don’t burn through them.
TU: Kennedy
TD: Petracca
Hi everyone – who would u get first?
T/U Bont
T/D Brayshaw
And …
T/U Petracca or
T/D Rankine
