Passed up Ryan last week due to having a BE of 165. We all know how that went. Hurts, but feel like he is a must especially with the Saints coming up in 2 weeks who leak points massively to defenders. Have to move forward now. Plan was always to bring him in this week regardless.
Thinking:
Roberts > Jones (via dpp)
Z. Williams > Ryan
I am in the same boat. Only hesitation is he has the SCG this week, which can be a graveyard for defenders (EG Whitfield last week). He averages 100 v the Swans and 80 at the venue (last start 85, high of 120 and low of 30). That said, as you say he is a must and even with an 80 against the Swans he is still not coming down in price (BE 64).
Clohesy will be fine. He butchered it today and gave a 50m penalty. Most of GC were pretty off as well. Wouldnt surprise me if he comes back strong next week
Got a bit of an issue, so much of my forward line needs fixing, as well as other players elsewhere peaking too. Not sure who to prioritize trading wise
Haven’t looked thoroughly yet so plans may change depending on BE’s and selection. But early doors with about 600k to spend, what’s the priority target
T/U: A Def such as Stewart/Dale/Sinclair (best value options but my def rookies are strong)
T/D: Zorko/Moore (Fwd a priority area with the weak rookies)
T/U: A sub 600k midfielder (this option nets me the highest scoring player most likely with Steele who looks to be the best option but will he be close enough to top 8 to be worth it? Rather than a Stewart or a Zorko who may do so in their respective lines)
My strategy is all about getting rookies off the field.
My squad was imbalanced as was okay in Backs and mids but Reid was F4.
Therefore my trades are
Out – Sheezel D’ambrosio and Darcy
In – Stewart Moore & Hayes.
Going to carry Yeo and Green this week with the Gold Coast rookies who are playing North so hopefully will go okay.
I remember a few years ago I think it was Motts cashed out Travis Cloke after a particularly rich vein of form over half a dozen weeks. I think he reached in the vicinity of $670k. Of course he then back tracked all the way down to mid $400K’s. Bit much money had been made.
Now that Sheezel has been moved into the midfield I think his scoring will dry up and that potentially he will cop a tag.
Anyway that’s my rational and only hindsight will see if it was a good or bad move.
Shaggy, 100%. I did a similar manoeuvre with Tex Walker 2/3 years ago. Its all about if there are more pressing issues in your team or if you have a boost or not. I won’t do it because I have 3 injured players I am sweating on and still 6 rookies in my 22.
I was comtemplating moving him on for a Moore or Dale then Yeo, Green and Fyfe decided otherwise
I’ve done this in a different way Shaggi.
Traded Roberts to Oliver this week. Still don’t trust chucky much but there is only 50k between them and chucky is unlikely to give me 50’s . Roberts is highly unlikely to give me 140’s!
I’ve also traded z Williams to Heath Chapman…
Williams injured every week and the cash paid for chucky!
Would love your thoughts. I’m trading out Roberts and Cadman, to a $600k player and Darcy Jones. But due to balance I’m unsure to take either a defender (Nic Martin) or – forward (Moore).
TU: Martin. Leaves me 1 Def / 2 Mid / 3 Fwd on field rookies
TD: Moore. Leaves me 2 Def / 2 Mid / 2 Fwd on field rookies
Should I take the best player, or is balance important?
For context, my forward line is:
Heeney, Flanders, Zorko
Reid, Darcy, Jones
I was originally looking at bringing in Petracca after seeing a massive price drop coming when he scored 59 before his bye. The next two games have only been 93 & 94 though.
Not sure about having 7 defenders in your team, seems like a waste of a midfield spot. I can’t recommend Stewart either – he’s been in my team since the start and has been extremely underwhelming.
If I was in your situation, I’d be looking at someone like Moore instead. Depends on your bye structure of course.
I can switch Stewart and bring in Parish or Oliver instead. Not sure how confident I am on them either.
If Moore comes in I have Wilson, Graham, Clohesy, Rogers and Garcia as my mid rookies. 5 rookies from only two teams. Powell is then F6. Probably works better with bye structure.
Might go with Moore instead of Stewart. Works for a better bye structure and the Suns play North so Clohesy and Graham should be able to cover the midfield. Wilson can almost take over Powell instead
Stewart missed a chunk of the Easter Monday clash with injury and went off at half time against the lions a couple of weeks back, was on track for a big score that night too.
Been unlucky so far id say and at 523k I would say he is one of the best value picks in the game at the moment. Still a top 6 defender if you ask me and expecting some big scores to come if he manages to stay fully fit!
Stewart was on track for 150. Last quarter he slowed down and it was reported he had a ‘tight quad’. Can wait another week on Stewart with his high BE. Any week Stewart can be as good as Ryan
I usually refuse to pay 600k for a defender upgrade but Ryan isn’t showing any sign in slowing down. Do I just bite the bullet and cop it or continue to hunt for value and trust the process?
This game being what it is as you all know…. Should I trade out Luke Ryan this week since he’s bound to get injured or spud it up with everyone else trading him in?
All things being equal at team selection, I am going with these 2 trades
S.Darcy > D.Jones
D’Ambrosio > Clarry Oliver
My question is do I use my second last boost of the year for the below trade now – as the difference in price between these 2 x players will start to widen I think:
Grundy ($584,800 / gone up $102,900 / aver = 112.8 / BE = 107 / 4 x scores under 100 & seems to play well every second week / & tough SC finals draw to:
English ($612,700 / gone down $102,400 / aver = 117.4 / BE = 80 / 1 x score under 100 / & better SC finals draw
Amazingly English is currently only $27,900 more than Grundy
T/U Yes – do it (English is more consistent & will score better)
T/D Don’t do it – waste of trade as Grundy will still be good for the whole year
Forwards are obviously the big concern this year so who do I grab before their price increases too much.
Confident both are likely to finish in the top 6 forwards.
Horror week last week, really hurt. Considering what to do with yeo, with Roberts and d’ambrosio looking like two cash cows ready to go.
Tu: Roberts and d’ambrosio -> Darcy jones and merrett 184k itb
Td: yeo and d’ambrosio -> Darcy jones and merrett 370k itb
The top one probably means I hold yeo till he comes back if he’s truly only gone for 2 weeks. Not sure whether I should cut my losses. Is there any chance yeo is back in a couple of weeks and stays top 6 defenders from there?
Option T/U leaves me with a complete backline, one mid spot and 3 forward spots to fill and 115k ITB. I would have enough cash to get Oliver next week.
Option T/D leaves me with a complete midfield, one defender and 2 forward spots to fill and 26k ITB. I will be able to get Stewart next week unless he goes ballistic.
I have had to adjust my earlier thoughts of including Sheezel in my list of trade outs due to the injury to Yeo.
So now it is
Out- Yeo, Comben & D’ambrosio
In – Ryan, Moore & Sullivan.
Comben could be Darcy but I think Comben good for solid 50-60 only but Darcy has greater ceiling.
Ryan – get him while you can.
Moore – shaping to be a top 6-8 forward and balances my squad as was getting to premo heavy in mids and backs but still having H.Reid at F4.
Sullivan – just think he has better JS than Jones. I also love a mature age recruit.
I will seriously be considering Hayes next week if he has another good score. Bonus would be if he can get Fwd/Ruc DPP. If anyone knows his % time in ruck last week would be great to know.
Surely with Libba out indefinitely Sanders will come in – at least I hope so although a serious sub candidate.
I find Sullivan has no JS. Will likely play this week but De Goey and Mitchell should likely to return when he is on the bubble. Quite a competitive list.
Jones looks a lot safer and already is on the bubble. A lot of GWS forwards seem to be underperforming and should be dropped before him.
I’m fine with the other trades as I’m currently bring in Ryan and Moore just Jones instead of Sullivan
Depends which biggies are not in your side. If you already own Ryan, Daicos, Merrett, Serong, Bont etc. then going value is fine this week. If you don’t have those guys then target them first
I get the thinking, but the biggies not in my side have hovered in the +/- $30/40k mark of their starting price all season. They will go up and down all season and I’m quietly confident of picking them up around the same price another week. If Oliver/Stewart get back to what we know they can do getting them at this discount is surely the go?
Unsure which premo to get. Appreciate your help.
I have Diacos, Sheezel, Houston, NWM, Roberts, Clohesy in my defence and Serong, Bont, Butters, Dawson, Steele, Miller, Green and Graham in my mids.
TU – Roberts, Comben to Merrett or
TD – Roberts, Comben to Ryan to complete the mids
Need a cheap mid with some sort of job security. Sullivan might get a few more games Reville DPP same price with Lions injuries good be another. T/U. Sullivan. T/ D. Reville
Nic Newman 515k, 1% of teams
Scored 148 last game against Collingwood
Been below par this season but can fire if he hits form
Last season his last 8 games were an average of 117.6 with his lowest score of 92 against WC
Others may be McGrath or Sinclair in less than 5% of teams and 3rd average of 105+
Too many players I want to trade out of my team….but need to keep one of these for at least this week
TU: Keep D’Ambrosia, trade out Powell (BE of 104). D Moore would be the in.
TD: Keep Powell, trade out D’Ambrosia (BE of 94). L Ryan would be the in.
Leaning more towards keeping Powell as there are fewer good forwards to replace him with then Defenders. And I think L Ryan is a MUST. And not getting any cheaper….
In a position where risks can be taken – so going to potentially try and get McKercher low and sheezal high, and flip once there prices change and take the excess cash to deploy in other lines. Nothing to lose here, ranked 30k + so it will be fun to see this play out
TU-
Sam Darcy to Darcy Jones
Matt Roberts to Zach Merrett (4.1k in bank)
TD-
Roberts to Jones via DPP with Powell
Sam Darcy to Sam Flanders (56.1k in bank) with plans next week to downgrade rookie and upgrade Powell to genuine premo.
I have the exact same 3 x lads coming out of my side (D’Ambrosio & Roberts & S Darcy), and am bringing in:
Darcy Jones & Jack Sinclair & Clayton Oliver
Have owned Sinclair in the past, and he is generally very consistent. Had a few more CBA’s than usual last week against North, but he can also score well playing at half back. St Kilda have lots of games at Marvel to come
I already have Merrett, he has been just consistently brilliant – so don’t hesitate to bring him in.
I watched Oliver closely last week, and he looked pretty good.
As I have most of the gun mids already (except for Butters), I have decided to bring Oliver in this week at his low price – but he definitely comes with some risk 🙂
Out Z Williams, Roberts and Jackson
In Ryan, Oliver and jones
Pros – getting two gilt edged for the season
Cons- using last boost, losing top 6 fwd in Jackson and selling Jackson at his low ( as an alternative l could trade Whitfield instead of Jackson)
Need to make 6 changes this week!!!
Fyfe, Roberts, Williams, clohesy, S Darcy, Reid
TU: Use last boost to bring in Ryan
TD: Save boost and go for a cheaper option (Sinclair or Hayden Young)
Word is Green avoided major damage to that ankle. A chance to stay in the frame v Dons this week.
TU Oliver
TD D Moore
Fyfe surely a hold considering the lack of forward options this year?
Tu: Hold
Td: Trade
Leave him for now. Deal with him, Powell, Macrae, etc., later I reckon.
is dylan moore worth a look at
hawks fan so love him anyway but not sure if he’ll burn me
Moore really good. Totally competitive with the FWD crop at the moment. Will have smashed his BE and will be well over 500k.
If it makes sense to take a FWD upgrade then, yep. He’s money.
Had Moore last year. Great POD and looks like that way again this year. More experienced now.
Passed up Ryan last week due to having a BE of 165. We all know how that went. Hurts, but feel like he is a must especially with the Saints coming up in 2 weeks who leak points massively to defenders. Have to move forward now. Plan was always to bring him in this week regardless.

I am in the same boat. Only hesitation is he has the SCG this week, which can be a graveyard for defenders (EG Whitfield last week). He averages 100 v the Swans and 80 at the venue (last start 85, high of 120 and low of 30). That said, as you say he is a must and even with an 80 against the Swans he is still not coming down in price (BE 64).
Playing at Optus this week…
Oops. In that case my analysis means zilch!
I’ve been planning to grab Dunks for a few weeks. I think he’s the clear M2. Next 3 games are beautiful but that bye is awful.
Zerrett T/U
Dunks T/D
who to trade out first
TU: Clohesy
TD: Sam Darcy
Comment: Roberts
Clohesy will be fine. He butchered it today and gave a 50m penalty. Most of GC were pretty off as well. Wouldnt surprise me if he comes back strong next week
Clohesy plays North
Roberts
Is anyone seriously considering clarry this week? Still dont trust he is fully back, want to see another game
Definitely need to see another week.
If he looks good he can come in v West Coast.
Best bubble boys to bring in this week?
Anyone rate Darcy Jones?
DEF – Sheezel, Daicos, Stewart, Holmes, Williams, Clohesy (Graham, Pink)
MID – Merrett, Butters, Serong, Bont, Walsh, Miller, Green, Roberts (Garcia, Clark, Rogers)
RUC – Gawn, Grundy (Livingstone)
FWD – Flanders, Jackson, Reid, Fyfe, Wilson, Darcy (Campbell, Nyuon)
$11,500 ITB, 26 trades left
Got a bit of an issue, so much of my forward line needs fixing, as well as other players elsewhere peaking too. Not sure who to prioritize trading wise
WW
Campbell to Jones is simple
What you do with the rest is up to you??/
Good luck
Is zorko worth bringing in, given the lack of forward options? Or am I paying top dollar for him?
I bought in last week and not rewarded then- but was this week.
Will be a top 5 forward Imo- so need to pay up at sometime.
Sunday night trade thoughts
Out: Yeo, Roberts, Darcy
In: Bontempelli, Stewart, Darcy Jones
TU or TD thanks
Anybody considering mckercher with sheezels new role helping him
Haven’t looked thoroughly yet so plans may change depending on BE’s and selection. But early doors with about 600k to spend, what’s the priority target
T/U: A Def such as Stewart/Dale/Sinclair (best value options but my def rookies are strong)

Comment: A sub 600k midfielder
T/U: A sub 600k midfielder (this option nets me the highest scoring player most likely with Steele who looks to be the best option but will he be close enough to top 8 to be worth it? Rather than a Stewart or a Zorko who may do so in their respective lines)
Not sure about Steele still. Watched him closely and that knee still troubled him. See him as a 100-105 player now vs 120+.
One of thw GC boys (Miller, Anderson) better value with their fixture coming up
Does Roberts need to go with Parker coming back?
TU – Hold
TD – Trade
After that debacle my season is over, so just going to do this and delete the app lol
Darcy, Roberts and D’Ambrosio out
Ryan, Bont and Jones in
My strategy is all about getting rookies off the field.
My squad was imbalanced as was okay in Backs and mids but Reid was F4.
Therefore my trades are
Out – Sheezel D’ambrosio and Darcy
In – Stewart Moore & Hayes.
Going to carry Yeo and Green this week with the Gold Coast rookies who are playing North so hopefully will go okay.
Sheezel out? Geez, i thought i was bad contemplating booting Green…

Williams injured every week and the cash paid for chucky!
Pretty simple for me this week:
OUT: Roberts, Comben
IN: Moore, D.Jones
Will have a look at Oliver next week if he backs it up against a strong Blues midfield.
Can’t afford Ryan so will look to get him at a later date
Will hold Green if injury isn’t bad as have decent cover in Wilson, Reid
Is anybody bringing McKercher back in? Or is this a silly move?
Powell to D.Moore
Roberts to Clarry
Gives me 2 x upgrades that I desperately need
Matt Roberts to
TU – Rowell
TD- Merrett
Next week or two Rowell price heads south- I’m looking at him next week
Who to bring in
Zorko
Martin
Zorko massive risk with role change & injury/ being rested.
Martin looking like a top 6 defender lock.
Simple answer imo.
Would love your thoughts. I’m trading out Roberts and Cadman, to a $600k player and Darcy Jones. But due to balance I’m unsure to take either a defender (Nic Martin) or – forward (Moore).
TU: Martin. Leaves me 1 Def / 2 Mid / 3 Fwd on field rookies
TD: Moore. Leaves me 2 Def / 2 Mid / 2 Fwd on field rookies
Should I take the best player, or is balance important?
For context, my forward line is:
Heeney, Flanders, Zorko
Reid, Darcy, Jones
Boosting this round. Don’t have L.Ryan, but would need to boot Fyfe to get him…
T/D – Mass, Roberts, Fyfe – D.Jones, Luke Ryan (DEF) & Zorko
T/U – Mass, Roberts, Comben – D.Jones, Sinclair & Dale
Thinking:
Out- Roberts, Darcy, Massimo
In- Stewart, L Ryan, Sullivan
2 solid upgrades, seems a bit of a no brainer
I was originally looking at bringing in Petracca after seeing a massive price drop coming when he scored 59 before his bye. The next two games have only been 93 & 94 though.
Is Petracca still top 8?
This week:
Roberts > Jones
Z. Williams > Ryan
Next week:
Darcy > Rookie (best one on the bubble)
Clohesy > Oliver
Tu or Td
Two trades are locked in Darcy and roberts to jones and ryan.
$320k in bank what should my third trade be?
TU – Williams to Martin or Merrett.
TD – Clohesy to Martin or Under 611k mid
Comment – Powell to heeney or any forward. Or any mid most likely Merrett
TU – Powell traded out for heeney or merrret (can get anyone)
Who to get in this week!
TU – Ryan
TD – Heeney
Current trades
Out: Darcy, Williams and Roberts
In: Stewart, Ryan and Darcy Jones
Leaves me with a full defence and Daicos in the midfield. NWM currently D6
Green M7 and Graham M8
Wilson/Jones F6 with Biggy
10k left over and 1 boost remaining
All good?
Not sure about having 7 defenders in your team, seems like a waste of a midfield spot. I can’t recommend Stewart either – he’s been in my team since the start and has been extremely underwhelming.
If I was in your situation, I’d be looking at someone like Moore instead. Depends on your bye structure of course.

Stewart missed a chunk of the Easter Monday clash with injury and went off at half time against the lions a couple of weeks back, was on track for a big score that night too.
Been unlucky so far id say and at 523k I would say he is one of the best value picks in the game at the moment. Still a top 6 defender if you ask me and expecting some big scores to come if he manages to stay fully fit!
Also faces Power this week who tend to bomb it down his throat so has scored really well against them for the past few seasons.
Parish?
T/U Get him in
T/D Don’t bother
Roberts is gone for Jones, deciding between Campbell or Darcy to also go.
TU: Campbell > Mckay, Moore or Rankine
TD: Darcy > Zorko
Whoever I keep is on field unfortunately, but if I don’t get Zorko this week I’ll have to use my last boost to get him next week or pass.
Hi team have locked and loaded these 2 trades
S.Darcy > D.Jones
A.Cadman > T.Stewart
My question is do I use my last boost of the year for
M.Roberts > C.Oliver?
T/U I like your thinking
T/D Don’t do it
TU; Stewart
TD: Dale
TU: Zorko
TD: Moore
Is it worth bringing mckercher back in?
Clohesy, Roberts, Lazzaro > Ryan, Jones and Hayes leaves me with Brown as D6
Tu: Clarry + 70k inb
Td: D Moore + 15k inb
Going to hold Roberts for now. This week I’m thinking Mass & Comben to Moore (via DPP swings) and Jones.
Rampe hurting Roberts role
Need to trade Rozee.
TU Zerret
TD Satan (160K cheaper)
T/u- Bont
T/d- Merrett
Is Rozee a should trade until he comes good?
TU: Luke Ryan
TD: Tom Stewart + $120,800
Ryan is a Pig. I’m doing what I can to get him in
Stewart was on track for 150. Last quarter he slowed down and it was reported he had a ‘tight quad’. Can wait another week on Stewart with his high BE. Any week Stewart can be as good as Ryan
Didn’t watch north game. Is there a chance Powell can still be atleast a f6 keeper?
I’m looking more towards final fwd upgrade or F7 if I can manage it.
With Phillips out & Simpkin playing a bit more forward, Powell got some of his CBA’s back on the weekend.
He attended 52% CBA’s – up from 14% the week before
But still down from his average of around 80% CBA’s in the first 6 x weeks
His disposal efficiency on the weekend was pretty ordinary, but he looked OK
So I am holding him through these few price drops, and hoping he can get back to the 90 + scores that he has already managed four times this year
TU: Luke Ryan
TD: Zach Merrett
I usually refuse to pay 600k for a defender upgrade but Ryan isn’t showing any sign in slowing down. Do I just bite the bullet and cop it or continue to hunt for value and trust the process?
TU: Get him in
TD: Look to value
Wasn’t anyone lining up to get him after last weeks 106 and the 89 the week before! I’ve had him all year but it’s never as good as it seems!
Libba – Oliver
Darcy – Jones
Williams – Young
Banking 150k for next week, need to hunt value to catch up this year, will hurt watching Ryan dominate again…
Libba is out indefinitely due to concussion, after suffering his second concussion in a short space of time.
TU: Sinclair.
TD: Moore.
Trading in:
L. Ryan
D.Jones
Who to trade out?
TU:
Powell & Comben
TD:
Roberts & Williams
Deffs TU mate, these North players have to go!
Willims was injured (not sure how bad) & Roberts has lost his sweet half-back role to Rampe
Powell was at least back in the guts
is it worth trading fyfe out to
tu-moore
td-mckay
This game being what it is as you all know…. Should I trade out Luke Ryan this week since he’s bound to get injured or spud it up with everyone else trading him in?
after Sydney he has Collingwood and Saints, both great matchups for defenders. He could be $700k in 3 weeks
TU Sinclair
TD Stewart
With Libba out time to trade who to put in Zerrett or maybe a bit of a POD M. Crouch.
T/U Merrett $55k ITB
T/D Crouch $155K ITB
Dunkley for Libba?
Poor guys career could be over 🙁
Trade out Caldwell? didn’t see the game was he really injured?
TU – trade
TD- hold
Was tightness not a structural injury as far as I know, so you might be okay.
Jye Caldwell’s calf scan is given the all clear this morning.
He is set to play against GWS this Saturday.
Trading out Darcy, Cadman and Roberts and bringing in D. jones, D.Moore and clarry as m8 with 112K in the bank and 1 boost remaining after
TU – Go for it
TD – rethink and try again
Tu Martin
Td Young
Comment Sicily cheaper but no dpp
Thinking:
Libba > L.Ryan (via DPP)
&
M.Roberts > Merrett
Only leaves me with 11k ITB and I miss out on Darcy Jones but bring in 2 guns.
Thoughts?
Note to self : Do not trade in anymore ROUND 14 players
I have abandoned r14 !!!!
TU – Oliver
TD – Stewart
Oliver would finish my mid and Stewart would finish my def
After an absolutely craptacula score last round, I am pulling the rip cord on my last boost. Holding (and praying) Green is good to play.
Massimo to Ryan
Libba to Clarry
Darcy to Jones
And leaves $157 ITB
$157k
Thoughts on Lachie Sullivan?
With all Collingwood injuries at the moment is he likely to hold his spot?
TU: Roberts & Darcy to Ryan/Merrett and Sullivan/Reville
TD: Roberts & Nyuon to Oliver and Jones
Hi all, advice needed.
I need to bring in Ryan but need to transfer one of Fyfe or Roberts to facilitate this. Which one should be traded
TU Fyfe
TD Roberts
Robert’s to Oliver
Lazzaro to Sullivan
H Reid to D Parish
Thoughts?
All things being equal at team selection, I am going with these 2 trades
S.Darcy > D.Jones
D’Ambrosio > Clarry Oliver
My question is do I use my second last boost of the year for the below trade now – as the difference in price between these 2 x players will start to widen I think:
Grundy ($584,800 / gone up $102,900 / aver = 112.8 / BE = 107 / 4 x scores under 100 & seems to play well every second week / & tough SC finals draw to:
English ($612,700 / gone down $102,400 / aver = 117.4 / BE = 80 / 1 x score under 100 / & better SC finals draw
Amazingly English is currently only $27,900 more than Grundy
T/U Yes – do it (English is more consistent & will score better)
T/D Don’t do it – waste of trade as Grundy will still be good for the whole year
Forwards are obviously the big concern this year so who do I grab before their price increases too much.
Confident both are likely to finish in the top 6 forwards.
T/U Zorko
T/D Moore
Foobey
T/U Stewart
T/D Sinclair
Can use 4th boost to trade Fyfe to one of the following 4 options:
T/U – Whitfield
T/D – Stewart
Or
T/U – Dale
T/D – Oliver
Big watch on rookies this week
Sullivan 102k mid
Reveille 102k m/f
Both should get run of games through injury
Then there is Dear 117k F
And one guy who I’m seriously thinking about being my permanent bench forward in Hayes 228k F
Time to gather a warchest…
Bye bye fat rooks in next 2 weeks, R10 and R11 just in time for upgrade city limits R12 and R13…..Gulden, Green?
Started round with 2 Boosts and 24 trades left.
Have done:
Roberts -> Ryan
Comben -> D. Jones
Is it worth using a boost to trade Powell / Williams / Dempsey to McKercher?
I traded Williams. Injuries
Looking to use my second last boost this week, seeing off D’Ambrosio, Libba and Roberts to bring in Oliver, Jones and which option?
TU: Parish ($528,600, BE 28)
TD: Moore ($521,600, BE 21)
Tu Stewart
TD Martin
Horror week last week, really hurt. Considering what to do with yeo, with Roberts and d’ambrosio looking like two cash cows ready to go.
Tu: Roberts and d’ambrosio -> Darcy jones and merrett 184k itb
Td: yeo and d’ambrosio -> Darcy jones and merrett 370k itb
The top one probably means I hold yeo till he comes back if he’s truly only gone for 2 weeks. Not sure whether I should cut my losses. Is there any chance yeo is back in a couple of weeks and stays top 6 defenders from there?
Who would you prefer?
TU Dale
TD Young
Two options for me this week.
T/U Roberts + Cadman to Luke Ryan + Darcy Jones
T/D Roberts + Harley Reid to Oliver + Dylan Moore
Option T/U leaves me with a complete backline, one mid spot and 3 forward spots to fill and 115k ITB. I would have enough cash to get Oliver next week.
Option T/D leaves me with a complete midfield, one defender and 2 forward spots to fill and 26k ITB. I will be able to get Stewart next week unless he goes ballistic.
Comment’s welcome.
TU:
Roberts, Comben > Moore, Jones
TD:
Roberts, Comben, S.Darcy > Ryan, Jones, Sullivan
Whats our thoughts on sheezel? Merit in trading to ryan this week or are we giving him another week?
Sheezel is a top 6 DEF. I wouldn’t be trading him out at all without further info. Surely you have other ways to get Ryan?
Mckercher stealing sheezel kick ins and pts.
Best D6 option to trade in.
Tu: Stewart
Td: Dale
Comment Sinclair
Sinclair
I have had to adjust my earlier thoughts of including Sheezel in my list of trade outs due to the injury to Yeo.
So now it is
Out- Yeo, Comben & D’ambrosio
In – Ryan, Moore & Sullivan.
Comben could be Darcy but I think Comben good for solid 50-60 only but Darcy has greater ceiling.
Ryan – get him while you can.
Moore – shaping to be a top 6-8 forward and balances my squad as was getting to premo heavy in mids and backs but still having H.Reid at F4.
Sullivan – just think he has better JS than Jones. I also love a mature age recruit.
I will seriously be considering Hayes next week if he has another good score. Bonus would be if he can get Fwd/Ruc DPP. If anyone knows his % time in ruck last week would be great to know.
Surely with Libba out indefinitely Sanders will come in – at least I hope so although a serious sub candidate.
I find Sullivan has no JS. Will likely play this week but De Goey and Mitchell should likely to return when he is on the bubble. Quite a competitive list.
Jones looks a lot safer and already is on the bubble. A lot of GWS forwards seem to be underperforming and should be dropped before him.
I’m fine with the other trades as I’m currently bring in Ryan and Moore just Jones instead of Sullivan
Hayes had 30% ruck contests with 3 hitouts.
28% CBAs
Apparently 40%. Definitely high on watchlist based on that
Your source?
St Kilda
Ruck Contest Percentage – Round 8
Marshall 55%
Hayes 30%
Owens 6%
Membrey 6%
King 3%
D’Ambrosio, Berry, Roberts to Oliver, Stewart, Jones.
Leaves $193.7k in the war chest to upgrade Darcy/Cadman next week.
TU: Do it, gotta take the value when it’s there.
TD: Pay up for bigger options.
Depends which biggies are not in your side. If you already own Ryan, Daicos, Merrett, Serong, Bont etc. then going value is fine this week. If you don’t have those guys then target them first
I get the thinking, but the biggies not in my side have hovered in the +/- $30/40k mark of their starting price all season. They will go up and down all season and I’m quietly confident of picking them up around the same price another week. If Oliver/Stewart get back to what we know they can do getting them at this discount is surely the go?
Unsure which premo to get. Appreciate your help.
I have Diacos, Sheezel, Houston, NWM, Roberts, Clohesy in my defence and Serong, Bont, Butters, Dawson, Steele, Miller, Green and Graham in my mids.
TU – Roberts, Comben to Merrett or
TD – Roberts, Comben to Ryan to complete the mids
Aim to get Stewart next week.
Ryan this week, Merrett next week.
Is Short to risky at 384k?
TU: Luke Ryan
TD: Nic Martin + $51,100 + DPP
Need a cheap mid with some sort of job security. Sullivan might get a few more games Reville DPP same price with Lions injuries good be another. T/U. Sullivan. T/ D. Reville
Powell – Jones
Rozzee – Oliver
Williams – Ryan
What to do with Liba
TU: Keep
TD: Trade
Looking for a sub 600k Defensive pod, any recommendations?
Nic Newman 515k, 1% of teams
Scored 148 last game against Collingwood
Been below par this season but can fire if he hits form
Last season his last 8 games were an average of 117.6 with his lowest score of 92 against WC
Others may be McGrath or Sinclair in less than 5% of teams and 3rd average of 105+
Not much talk on Sicily.
This week
TU – welcome Oliver
TD – welcome L Ryan
Interesting. OK so what if I was considering one of these two for this week –
TU: L Ryan
TD : Serong
Too many players I want to trade out of my team….but need to keep one of these for at least this week
TU: Keep D’Ambrosia, trade out Powell (BE of 104). D Moore would be the in.
TD: Keep Powell, trade out D’Ambrosia (BE of 94). L Ryan would be the in.
Leaning more towards keeping Powell as there are fewer good forwards to replace him with then Defenders. And I think L Ryan is a MUST. And not getting any cheaper….
What to do with Rozee
TU: Keep
TD: Trade
Have 22 trades after this week, but cash gen is looking a bit dire. Should i boost to get McKercher? Negative breakeven is very attractive.
TU: yes
TD: no
Liba out
TU: Dunkley
TD: Merrett
Out
Massimo
Sheezal
Darcy
In
McKercher
Oliver
Jones
In a position where risks can be taken – so going to potentially try and get McKercher low and sheezal high, and flip once there prices change and take the excess cash to deploy in other lines. Nothing to lose here, ranked 30k + so it will be fun to see this play out
Clarry ???
Roberts to Mckercher?
Make a quick 100k. Fair shout that if Mckercher continues this role he may score steadily and get to 450k
Only thing is that I do have funds to go roberts straight to Ryan but no bank left…
Powell > Dylan Moore
Sam Darcy > Darcy Jones
Uwland > Luke Ryan
Good or bad?
Tu: Zorko
Td: D Moore
Thinking to get oliver in this week but have two scenario’s for trade outs:
TU: Reid which leaves 123k in the bank
TD: Darcy which leaves 2k in the bank
Who to bring in this week?
T/U: Serong and $373k itb
T/D: Oliver and $536k itb
The one I don’t get will probably come in next week for Clohesy
Rozee out for:
TU: Neal (M6)
TD: N Martin (D5)
Almost same price, bye not a major concern
TU: Serong (BE 87)
TD: Merrett (BE 114)
Could also go Oliver but think I’d rather one more look at him this week.
Oliver will cost $30k more next week.
Have to hold one, who do I HOLD?
T/U – Roberts
T/D – Powell
TU: Whitfield
TD: Zorko
I have cash enough to turn James Jordan into anyone via DPP.
Do I go
Luke Ryan TU
or Bont / Heeney TD
TU: Comben > Jones, Roberts > Luke Ryan, hold Rozee
TD: Williams > Jones, Roberts > Luke Ryan, Rozee > Heeney
TU – Neale + 20k
TD – Dunkley
TU: Miller this week, Merrett next week
TD: Merrett this week, Miller next week
TU: Stewart
TD: Moore
Is it worth doing an upgrade of
Thumbs up
Windhager – H.Young
Fyfe- Neale
Roberts – Jones (GWS) via Comben to def
Thumbs down
I can do this or get Stewart and Dunkley instead of Neale and young
Fyfe – Heeney
or
Roberts – Heeney
Cheers
Fyfe has been great…he was basically “rested” last week. Roberts game being effected by Rampe return. And Fyfe has dpp.
Really stumped on which trades to do this week.
TU-
Sam Darcy to Darcy Jones
Matt Roberts to Zach Merrett (4.1k in bank)
TD-
Roberts to Jones via DPP with Powell
Sam Darcy to Sam Flanders (56.1k in bank) with plans next week to downgrade rookie and upgrade Powell to genuine premo.
I would TD that (at moment). My thinking is Flanders a must have, clear Top 2 FWD and yet to top out in price.
Merrett is uber-premo but there are also other options in the Mids.
Trading out this week – D’Ambrosia, Roberts & S Darcy (WB)
Trading in –
TU = Sinclair, D Jones & Merrett
TD = L Ryan, D Jones & one of Oliver or Moore (Hawk)
Hi Lisa
I have the exact same 3 x lads coming out of my side (D’Ambrosio & Roberts & S Darcy), and am bringing in:
Darcy Jones & Jack Sinclair & Clayton Oliver
Have owned Sinclair in the past, and he is generally very consistent. Had a few more CBA’s than usual last week against North, but he can also score well playing at half back. St Kilda have lots of games at Marvel to come
I already have Merrett, he has been just consistently brilliant – so don’t hesitate to bring him in.
I watched Oliver closely last week, and he looked pretty good.
As I have most of the gun mids already (except for Butters), I have decided to bring Oliver in this week at his low price – but he definitely comes with some risk 🙂
Sinclair has been fairly up and down so far Lisa. I have him and I’m still not sold! Like the consistency of the t/d imo
TU: Ryan
TD: Stewart
Comment: Dale
If I want Oliver and Ryan this week, I need to move on Luke Jackson. Thoughts?
TU: Yes. Do it now!
TD: No. Don’t be silly.
Trades this week:
OUT: Roberts, Comben
IN: L Ryan, D Jones
I’ve got 1 boost left and $94k in the bank. Worth boosting to go Powell -> Oliver?
TU: Yes
TD: No
Hey everyone! So I’m thinking this…
Comben out D.Jones in and Mac Andrew out and Steele in.
TU-Go for it
TD-Find something else
T/U: Sexton to Oliver
T/D: Williams to Heeney
In: L. Ryan, D. Jones
Out: E. Yeo, S. Campbell
T/U
T/D
Hold Tom Green if out this week. My view is yes but interested to see what others think
TU: Roberts, Comben, D’Ambrosio -> Oliver, Moore, Jones
TD: Comben , D’Ambrosio -> Butters, Jones
(So basically, does Roberts and Butters outscore Oliver and Moore)
Mids I have – Bont, Trac, Green, Steele, Dawson, Merrett
Yeo owners, do we keep him or sideways trade to another premo? Ranked top 2% @ 4.1k
Current back 6 is Martin, Sheezel, Ryan and Daicos, Yeo, Roberts, Graham
Thanks
TU: Trade Clohsey BE 58 v NM
TD: Trade Darcy BE 42 v Rich
Yeo & Khamis -> Stewart & Short
OUT Rozee, Roberts, D’Ambrosio
IN Ryan, Oliver, Jones
It means holding Green.
TU: Use last boost to bring in Ryan
TD: Save boost and bring in a cheaper option (Sinclair or Hayden Young)
Bring in:
TU: Dylan Moore
TD: Jack Sinclair
Hi,
TU – Trade Roberts & Darcy for Ryan & D Jones
TD – Trade Roberts & Campbell for Oliver & D Jones
Thank you!
Who should you get in first
T/u luke Ryan
T/d oliver
Oliver is too much value. Ryan is too expensive
Out Z Williams, Roberts and Jackson
In Ryan, Oliver and jones
Pros – getting two gilt edged for the season
Cons- using last boost, losing top 6 fwd in Jackson and selling Jackson at his low ( as an alternative l could trade Whitfield instead of Jackson)
TU good trades DO it
TD no don’t do it
This week I could get Ryan for Whitfield and
get Merrett for Jackson
Do it, good trades
Don’t, sideways trades
$320k available
Williams to Martin or Merrett?
Martin makes my DEF:
Ryan, Daicos, Sheezel,
Houston, Martin, rookie (clohesy, Draper)
Merrett finishes my MID:
Serong, Merrett, bont, butters, Walsh, Touk, Trac, Green
TU – Martin
TD – Merrett
Sell roberts or Fyfe
Sell Roberts or Fyfe
Not sure which way to go, Merrett helps short term with Green out – but if Ryan keeps going it could hurt to not have him.
TU: Merrett
TD: Ryan
TU Oliver
TD D Moore
Thanks
