Soligo Rd 1-4 Disp 27.5 with 13 CP, 6 Cl and 5 tackles
Rd 5-8 Disp 18.5 with 8 CP, 4 CL and 2 tackes
The coached pumped him up before Rd 5…what happened?
I think I will be able to get this done.
Out Salem, Sanders & Davidson
In Holmes, Warner and Husthwaite
I can’t believe I got tucked in to Salem AGAIN.
Sanders will get bugger all midfield time with Bont & Treloar back. Davidson has served his purpose.
Holmes is a better player than recently showing. Disappointing that Warner popped of this week instead of next and Husthwaite looks good for a rookie ( at least for 2 more weeks).
Of course all of the above will be chucked out if Flynn gets dropped
Not big on Dawson yet, was rolled forward heaps and that was partly why he scored so well (3 goals), but don’t expect that every week. His DE did improve however, which are good signs. I’d like to see a longer stretch of form before bringing him in.
He had team high CBAs amongst the Crows heavy rotations, which they’ve done all year.
Heatmap purely in the middle of the ground and only 4 possesions in the FWD half of the ground.
Only one of his three goals was from deep I50. Other two were on 50 and came into possession in open play.
So wouldn’t at all say he was “rolled FWD heaps”.
His use, yeah, remains an issue but don’t see how waiting changes that. Suggestion to wait for form makes no sense; he’s a dog of a kick. That’s not changing.
It’s a fundamental issue with his game and the whole enchilada w Dawson.
Either you’re in and accept the ride that his DE will be or you’re not.
I’m ambivalent either way but need to be clear on why.
Crouch looks like he might be out for a decent period, he was the one who was messing up the midfield at the crows because he can only play one position.
Peatling isn’t getting the midfield minutes i expected (dodged that bullet)
Laird is nowhere near the guts anymore
It seems like Dawson, Rankine & Solingo are the 3 bannas.
have watched a few collingwood games, and it seems like he is racking it up. Only looked at his scores last week and were surprised he wasn’t scoring better
I was tossing up last week to go Josh for a Oliver replacement (swing him to defence later), decided on callaghan because Josh’s BE wasn’t as low. Still have my eye on him
I got him in last week with a BE of 45 so off to a good start. Collingwood is a top team, I can’t see him getting tagged and he’s only had 1 bad game statistically. I’d put him in the NVM category- consistent scorer but perhaps not pumping out a huge Sinclair/Whitfield score
I’m considering fallen premos Ryan and Flanders. At this stage leaning more towards Flanders as my theory is he’s been eased back more from injury and is now hopefully going to have more mid time, whereas Ryan is more form and change of Freo gamestyle. I need to offload Prior and would rather upgrade, hence I’ll likely go Flanders this week
Two to go out of SPP, Flynn and Bice. Not sure who survives there.
Hustwaite is a no-brainer. Possibly looking at a Lions mid for the upgrade – is Will Ashcroft still a viable option for M8? Only really had one off game this year and that drops out of the cycle this week, where he plays North.
I reckon Washcroft is a keeper, can’t see him getting tagged in a hurry.
Yeah Flynn is frustrating, I took out Z Reid via DPP for him and that’s looking like a wasted trade. At least he’s made some money but you’d expect he’ll struggle to retain his place this week
I went early on Hustwaite and now I don’t love any of the rookies available. Is it crazy to do TDK down to Marshall so that I can turn Flynn or Short into a premo?
Tu: Do it
Td: Find a palatable rookie to do a proper downgrade
Went early on Hustwaite so it means I need to go early on another rookie this week, which isn’t ideal but oh well. Trade one is basically locked in:
Prior OUT -> Boxshall (Mid Rookie) IN (via DPP)
But my in is going to be hard, so much value around this week! Need help deciding between 4 underpriced guns, and I can see arguments for each. Who do I upgrade to out of these four?
Should also add for context that my forward line is full, Chad would only slot in there if I move off of Daniel, which very well may happen towards the back half of the season.
Is Warner a target largely for forward status? Wouldn’t mind trading out Caleb Daniel eventually, but have bigger priorities. Was thinking about taking merrett for a mid slot as that’s where I need to do some work.
Tu: merrett
Td: warner
Can technically afford any player so comment if there’s any other targets. Don’t want to get butters or bont at peak price, but happy to hear arguments to the contrary, I do need a points boost this week.
I know it’s a sideways trade and the point difference is isn’t that much but it’s killing me but with the round 12 byes approaching both xerri and tdk will be out, with gawn at a break even of 40 I cant risk him being past 700k. All my rookies are playing and making money and the 5 on field are getting me 60 plus apart from bice last week.
TU or a TD trade.
Lynch and tdk to lorenz and gawn
Any love for Flanders? I saw a bit of the game last night and the commentary was he was in the middle a lot more. He’s probably bottomed out in price now at 460k
I really wanted to bring in warner last week and this week I even more want to but the fact that it could just be a lucky 2 games is killing me it’s like a coin flip for me right now.
scrap that, should i trade in warner for daicos? warner BE is 29 and daicos is 160, daicos too inconsistent with tagging and made his cash.
TU = Yes, trade warner in for daicos
TD = No
Haha what do you mean he made his cash, daicos almost certainly will be a top 8 mid by end of season, he’s ranked 8th in terms of pure mids now. You don’t get daicos for the cash.
*sorry for repeating but I changed something*
I know it’s a sideways trade and the point difference is isn’t that much but it’s killing me but with the round 12 byes approaching both xerri and tdk will be out, with gawn at a break even of 40 I cant risk him being past 700k. All my rookies are playing and making money and the 5 on field are getting me 60 plus apart from bice last week.
TU or a TD trade.
Lynch and tdk to a high js rookie and gawn
If he’s named this weekend I’ll hold. BE is 68, has beaten that in 3/4 games he’s played. I’ve owned from the start though so if he’s dropped I’ll trade and bank the $123k he’s earned me.
CW..I would rate Flynn at odds on to be omitted…shame as he was making us dollars and I wanted a few more games at 70/80 but he got GAWNED while Bailey J Williams did well in the reserves…What is your opinion on a straight swap to Maxxy at the flex..for about 303 large extra?…Max has a BE of 32!!!
Note…if Pittonet is named in the Carlton 22 TDK becomes a Query at 117 BE.
Hi RB. I started Gawn and brought in Xerri last weekend. I’m not a fan generally of paying more than $650k for anyone, though it depends on who your other rucks are. I’m a Carlton fan and don’t select any Blues so I can enjoy the games without thinking about SC, but I’d wait and see how TDK goes even if Pitto is named.
TU – L.Ashcroft, Oliver & SPP to Gawn, Rankine & Boxhall
TD – Look at other options
Would ideally trade h.langford or x.lindsay first and hold on to see oliver’s availability but this trade leaves me with $3k in the bank and a completed forward line.
So full team as it stands;
DEF; Whitfield, Sheezel, Clark, Dale, Bice, Z. Reid (Carrol, Leake)
MID; Daicos, Zerret, Neale, Serong, Cerra, Lashcroft, Lindsay, Hustwaite (Gross, Moraes, Camporeale)
RUCK; Xerri, TDK (Boyd)
FWD; Horne-Francis, Smith, Macrae, Warner, Daniel, SPP (Cleary, Stone)
FLEX; Freijah
Currently thinking Cerra, Moraes -> Boxshall, Rozee/Sinclair
TU: Good Trades
TD: Not
Please feel free to leave any suggestions/thoughts – especially on how to fix bench cash gen
24 trades, 1 boost, $13k in the bank
Hi all, just wondering if anyone has access to the latest player DPP data, specifically on Will Ashcroft?
I’ve got one FWD position left to fill and was thinking of going Rankine this week, however I also have Will Ashcroft who I see only had 26% CBAs over the weekend. If he is potentially in line to gain FWD status, maybe it would be in my best interest to plan around that and focus on MID targets to try and accelerate the growth of my team.
TU: flynn + bice + moraes > Sinclair + marshall + hustwhaite (14 ITB, last boost)
TD: moraes + kako > warner + Hustwhaite (4 ITB, don’t know if I can trust warner long term)
Hi all, loving the comments this week. Thoughts on Jack Steele? I can do one upgrade this week and he is only 473k. Favourable bye round and seems to have a good run home – plays Weagles, Dee’s twice, North and tigers in the run home. Only concern is he is not quite good enough for M8 for the year.
Going Kako > Boxshall as I’m happy with the OF rookies and need the cash for the below trade:
SPP to –
TU – Warner
TD – Kennedy
Looking at the stats these guys are pretty similar, with Kennedy being more of a POD after this round of trading. However, Warner’s cash rise looks slightly nicer.
Soligo out for either:
TU. Butters/Bont
TD Chad W plus cash
Soligo Rd 1-4 Disp 27.5 with 13 CP, 6 Cl and 5 tackles
Rd 5-8 Disp 18.5 with 8 CP, 4 CL and 2 tackes
The coached pumped him up before Rd 5…what happened?
This question has been bugging me for weeks, any crows fans got insight?
I think I will be able to get this done.
Out Salem, Sanders & Davidson
In Holmes, Warner and Husthwaite
I can’t believe I got tucked in to Salem AGAIN.
Sanders will get bugger all midfield time with Bont & Treloar back. Davidson has served his purpose.
Holmes is a better player than recently showing. Disappointing that Warner popped of this week instead of next and Husthwaite looks good for a rookie ( at least for 2 more weeks).
Of course all of the above will be chucked out if Flynn gets dropped
Holmes has been bad for a month Shaggi.
Flynn, Ashcroft Jnr, Prior
Warner, Sinclair, Boxhall.
Likelihood of Connor rozee getting defender status in a few weeks?
Tu: Rozee (Banking on him gaining dpp)
Td: Sinclair
Time for Bice to go?
Bice (85) -> Sinc (110) = +25
Any upgrade involving Bice to atleast a defender not really that much of a net on points.
I’d be getting my lowest scoring OF rookies up first.
Bice BE still only 77.
What if Bice is your worst rookie (based on last week). Others on my field are Reid, Trainor, Levi and One of HH, Lindsay, Hewett as M8
Who to cash out first
Tu: Bice
Td: Prior
Better value option
Tu: Dawson
Td: Sinclair
Not big on Dawson yet, was rolled forward heaps and that was partly why he scored so well (3 goals), but don’t expect that every week. His DE did improve however, which are good signs. I’d like to see a longer stretch of form before bringing him in.
Disagree w this.

Peatling isn’t getting the midfield minutes i expected (dodged that bullet)
Laird is nowhere near the guts anymore
It seems like Dawson, Rankine & Solingo are the 3 bannas.
Rankine is more likely to go forward than Dawson
Round 15 bye
Is Josh Daicos in discussion to be a top 6 defender?
Been eyeing him for a while, Derek.
Problem is he’s playing the games of his life, finding heaps of it but for only 119, 106 and 113. And that’s off 30, 36 and 32 touches.
Just not enough. No ceiling.
thats what i thought.
have watched a few collingwood games, and it seems like he is racking it up. Only looked at his scores last week and were surprised he wasn’t scoring better
I was tossing up last week to go Josh for a Oliver replacement (swing him to defence later), decided on callaghan because Josh’s BE wasn’t as low. Still have my eye on him
I got him in last week with a BE of 45 so off to a good start. Collingwood is a top team, I can’t see him getting tagged and he’s only had 1 bad game statistically. I’d put him in the NVM category- consistent scorer but perhaps not pumping out a huge Sinclair/Whitfield score
i still have 3 defenders to bring in (have Whitfield, Sheezel and Holmes)
No-one is screaming pick me
Sinclair, Houston, NWM, Clark, Martin?
Already have Rozee and he might get DPP
Mills might start slow?
Defence is hard this year
I’m considering fallen premos Ryan and Flanders. At this stage leaning more towards Flanders as my theory is he’s been eased back more from injury and is now hopefully going to have more mid time, whereas Ryan is more form and change of Freo gamestyle. I need to offload Prior and would rather upgrade, hence I’ll likely go Flanders this week
what was Flanders injury?
Back
Not in the same bracket as NWM. No way.
TU: Dale
TD: Sinclair
Early, early thoughts
Two to go out of SPP, Flynn and Bice. Not sure who survives there.
Hustwaite is a no-brainer. Possibly looking at a Lions mid for the upgrade – is Will Ashcroft still a viable option for M8? Only really had one off game this year and that drops out of the cycle this week, where he plays North.
I reckon Washcroft is a keeper, can’t see him getting tagged in a hurry.
Yeah Flynn is frustrating, I took out Z Reid via DPP for him and that’s looking like a wasted trade. At least he’s made some money but you’d expect he’ll struggle to retain his place this week
I went early on Hustwaite and now I don’t love any of the rookies available. Is it crazy to do TDK down to Marshall so that I can turn Flynn or Short into a premo?
Tu: Do it
Td: Find a palatable rookie to do a proper downgrade
TU- Bice and Knevitt out, Ash and Boxshall in
TD- Bice, Knevitt and Rowell out, Holmes, Boxshall and McLuggage in
Went early on Hustwaite so it means I need to go early on another rookie this week, which isn’t ideal but oh well. Trade one is basically locked in:
Prior OUT -> Boxshall (Mid Rookie) IN (via DPP)
But my in is going to be hard, so much value around this week! Need help deciding between 4 underpriced guns, and I can see arguments for each. Who do I upgrade to out of these four?
T/U: W. Ashcroft
T/D: Callaghan
See the comment below for the other two options.
T/U: Warner
T/D: Rozee (assuming he gets DEF DPP)
Should also add for context that my forward line is full, Chad would only slot in there if I move off of Daniel, which very well may happen towards the back half of the season.
i was keen on Warner last week, but already had Daniel at F6.
Tossed up between JDaicos and Callaghan, went Callaghan because of his BE
Any thoughts on the Lorenz from port to bring in?
TU or TD.
Is Sinclair worth keeping?
TU or TD.
who are the premos to buy this week
Is Warner a target largely for forward status? Wouldn’t mind trading out Caleb Daniel eventually, but have bigger priorities. Was thinking about taking merrett for a mid slot as that’s where I need to do some work.
Tu: merrett
Td: warner
Can technically afford any player so comment if there’s any other targets. Don’t want to get butters or bont at peak price, but happy to hear arguments to the contrary, I do need a points boost this week.
Which Crow needs to go?
T/U- Soligo
T/D- Thilthorpe
Thilthorpe is playing with a busted hand
I know it’s a sideways trade and the point difference is isn’t that much but it’s killing me but with the round 12 byes approaching both xerri and tdk will be out, with gawn at a break even of 40 I cant risk him being past 700k. All my rookies are playing and making money and the 5 on field are getting me 60 plus apart from bice last week.
TU or a TD trade.
Lynch and tdk to lorenz and gawn
Have the funds to make Flynn > Romo in one.
Following that…
Tu: Tsatas & Bice > Rookie & Sinclair (boost)
Td: Hold off and target Merrett next week after Jordon tag
If i go early on a mid rookie, who should it be? (i already have Huswaite)
TU Boxshall
TD Lorenz
Going for one of these Crows this week. Which one?
TU: Rankine
TD: Dawson
TU: Petracca
TD: Warner
Just so everyone knows I bought Rowell in 2 weeks ago and Libba last week, so blame me for their poor scores!!!
TU: Flynn and Cerra out for Bont and Boxhall
TD: Flynn and Kako out for Boxhall and Lorenz and upgrade L Ashcroft to Bont next week
Another option is Flynn and Daniel out for Bont and Boxhall moving L Ashcroft forward
Any love for Flanders? I saw a bit of the game last night and the commentary was he was in the middle a lot more. He’s probably bottomed out in price now at 460k
Not yet I reckon.
96 BE, watch him go round for another week and decide
TU: Cerra to Neale
TD: Flynn to Sheezel
Was going to trade L.Ashcroft but can’t now. Could also get rid of Bice as well.
Flynn & Davidson out for Gawn & Hustwaite?
TU: Do it.
TD: Better value in Warner, Rankine etc
Who to cull?
T/U – SPP (likely for Warner/Trac)
T/D – Flynn (likely the same, maybe RoMa)
Comment – Bice (likely for Sinclair/Zorko)
Best option?
TU: Bont
TD: Butters
TU: Gawn
Hard to decide
None.
Lunacy to be paying 700k for anyone.
You’ll be begging for that cash over the next few weeks.
G’day all,
My team is below:
DEF: Sheezel, J Clark, Z Reid, L Cleary, C.Stone, M Carroll (O McDonald, J Leake)
MID: Butters, Bont, N Daicos, Serong, Dawson, Cerra, Maric, LAshcroft (Moraes, Hall, Gross)
RUC: Gawn, Xerri (Boyd)
FWD: Petracca, Rankine, B Smith, Macrae, C Daniel, M Hall (S Davidson, T Edwards)
FLEX: X Lindsay
23 trades, two boosts left ($144k in bank)
Obviously defence is the focus – looking at something like:
OUT: Cleary, Stone and Davidson
IN: Whitfield/Sincs, DEF rookie and Hustwaite in with Ashcroft coming forward
T/U: do it
T/D: dont
Carroll likely dropped this week. You’ll be facing a donut like you did last round.
I tried workshopping a few things to see if you could get two 450k DEFs in but you can’t.
Keep Cleary. Not sure how/why you have McDonald.
Davidson -> Hustwaite (via Ash DPP)
Stone -> Sinclair
Carroll -> Fonti (pending sheets)
From there your DEF is: Sheezel, Sinclair, Clark, Reid, Cleary & Fonti and you have 23 playing.
Best you’re gonna do I reckon.
Good luck.
was wanting to get warner last week but didn’t have the spots. Should I trade him in this week for Daniel?
TU = Yes, do it
TD = No
I really wanted to bring in warner last week and this week I even more want to but the fact that it could just be a lucky 2 games is killing me it’s like a coin flip for me right now.
scrap that, should i trade in warner for daicos? warner BE is 29 and daicos is 160, daicos too inconsistent with tagging and made his cash.
TU = Yes, trade warner in for daicos
TD = No
Haha what do you mean he made his cash, daicos almost certainly will be a top 8 mid by end of season, he’s ranked 8th in terms of pure mids now. You don’t get daicos for the cash.
Surely trolling here…
*sorry for repeating but I changed something*
I know it’s a sideways trade and the point difference is isn’t that much but it’s killing me but with the round 12 byes approaching both xerri and tdk will be out, with gawn at a break even of 40 I cant risk him being past 700k. All my rookies are playing and making money and the 5 on field are getting me 60 plus apart from bice last week.
TU or a TD trade.
Lynch and tdk to a high js rookie and gawn
Or just go Lynch to a rookie and Caleb Daniel to warner? And have alot of money in the bank
Thoughts on this trade
Out – SPP and knevitt
In – Chad Warner and Boxshall
Heeney:
TU – cut losses and get rid of him
TD – hold
Short Davidson SPP > Dunkley Dawson Fonti
TU Good Trades do it for sure
TD No dont do it – reconsider both premos and going early on Fonti
Bice, SPP & Flynn for
Zorko, Warner and Boxshall
TU Looks good
TD Don’t do the triple and leave Zorko out
I note this isn’t the forum for advice on full squads, but I need some help.
What would you do to fix this team? All feedback is welcome. Thanks.
DEF: Sheezel, Roberts, Short, Bice, Reid, Trainor [Caroll, Leake]
MID: Butters, N.Daicos, Neale, Green, Soligo, L.Ashcroft, H.Garcia [Tsatas, Hustwaite, Camporeale]
RUC: Xerri, Witts [Boyd]
FWD: Horne-Francis, Rankine, Macrae, Daniel, Maric, Cleary [Davidson, Stone]
FLEX: Flynn
$77,100 in the bank, with 1 boost remaining.
Garcia -> Boxshall
Davidson -> 565k~ premo
FWD: Warner/Tracca, finish FWD line now, still have some coin.
MID: Richards, Dawson, Green, Serong (via Ash DPP)
DEF: Sinclair given his MID/DEF status, leave him as a MID till Trainor, Reid and Bice are all tapped out.
Should gawn or Bont be more of a priority?
I have tdk and xerri
Daniel and Flynn out
TU: Gawn
TD: Bont
Neither.
Wrong time to be paying 700k for anyone.
Race to full premo. Target guys like Sinclair, Warner, etc., then look to luxury trade Bont/Gawn at the byes, potentially in flex.
For Warner my only option is really Daniel to Warner as Daniel is f8
If I’m going Sinclair who would you trade out Trainor, Bice or Reid
Actually Trainor won’t get it done by 300 lol. So Reid or Bice
Keep Trainor. Single digit BE w Eagles and Roos coming up.
I’d also definitely be holding Reid (BE -3) and even Bice (BE 71). They’re super stable on field.
Post full team.
Backs: sheezel, nwm, holmes
Bice, Reid, Trainor – carrol, Hastie
Daicos, merret, Neale, Serong, Cerra, lashcroft, hall, Lindsay – Knevitt, Hewett, Hustwaite
Xerri, TDK – Boyd
JHF, Rankine, Trac, b smith, Macrae, Daniel – Kako, stone
Flex : Flynn
Or should I just hold for now
If Flynn plays leave him and trade my non scoring bench for rookies
What’s the current thinking on Flynn? Has he done his job and time to cash in?
If he’s named this weekend I’ll hold. BE is 68, has beaten that in 3/4 games he’s played. I’ve owned from the start though so if he’s dropped I’ll trade and bank the $123k he’s earned me.
CW..I would rate Flynn at odds on to be omitted…shame as he was making us dollars and I wanted a few more games at 70/80 but he got GAWNED while Bailey J Williams did well in the reserves…What is your opinion on a straight swap to Maxxy at the flex..for about 303 large extra?…Max has a BE of 32!!!
Note…if Pittonet is named in the Carlton 22 TDK becomes a Query at 117 BE.
Hi RB. I started Gawn and brought in Xerri last weekend. I’m not a fan generally of paying more than $650k for anyone, though it depends on who your other rucks are. I’m a Carlton fan and don’t select any Blues so I can enjoy the games without thinking about SC, but I’d wait and see how TDK goes even if Pitto is named.
Yeah, I mean BJ wouldn’t have done any better.
Flynn is a low attribute ruckman who goes for it. So, naturally, when he misses the HO or first take, the opposing ruck mops up and it’s a bad look.
Why I’m worried he could be dropped is we’ve been very choppy and erratic with team selection this year, thinking it’ll change anything.
Keep if he plays.
Williams was very good in the twos also.
Be prepared.
2 goals, 27 HOs and 17 touches.
With A. Reid potentially down and out, both Flynn and BJ could play.
I was surprised we didn’t actually go for it against Max to begin with. Could be preference against it, idk.
Preparing non-Flynn and Flynn trade plans this week either way.
TU:
Flynn -> Boxshall (via flex)
Lalor -> Merrett
Short -> Dale / Zorko
TD:
Flynn -> Boxshall (via flex)
SPP -> Rankine / Warner
Short -> Sinclair / Whitfield
Locked in these options for now
Tu: Flynn, Prior, De Koning to Boxshall, Marshall, Gawn
Td: Prior, Bice or Flynn to Fonti, Sinclair
TU – L.Ashcroft, Oliver & SPP to Gawn, Rankine & Boxhall
TD – Look at other options
Would ideally trade h.langford or x.lindsay first and hold on to see oliver’s availability but this trade leaves me with $3k in the bank and a completed forward line.
Gotta cull one of my premo rookies.. Which option?
TU – Knevitt & SPP for Sicily & Hustwaite
TD – Knevitt & Bice for Warner & Hustwaite
Thoughts on rowell? No easy possessions last couple weeks, not sure if because guys like flanders getting more of it? Is he still a hold?
Nothing to do w Flanders, he’s still irrelevant for the minute.
Rowell just genuinely in some poor form.
6/15 contested and 8/16 the week before.
So getting neither the easy or hard touches.
11 CBAs yesterday, not team high (18~) but assuming that was definitely an anomaly.
If he were higher in price it’d maybe be permissible to sideways/luxury, but where can you really go without wasting too much upgrade money?
Down to Warner? Pocket 35k?
I’d probably just hold tbh. Work on rest of your team.
These were always the problems with trading Rowell in early: season long consistency, low floor and no real ceiling to balance it out.
TU: J.Daicos
TD: Dale
Who to hold?
TU SPP
TD Flynn
Comment Bice
Bice
I am thinking
Moraes to Boxshall (already have Hustwaite)
SPP to Flanders via DPP to mids
prefer Rankine with his BE but Flanders is cheap and not far away from it I think (ok hope)
Not prepared to trade Bice, Reid, Hall, L Ashcroft, Hewett or Cleary this week
Potentially finishes my defence presuming Rozee gains DPP and Flanders returns to something like 2024
Nah, Hass.
Flanders still a fair bit off it.
Suns hitting a brick wall too.
So full team as it stands;
DEF; Whitfield, Sheezel, Clark, Dale, Bice, Z. Reid (Carrol, Leake)
MID; Daicos, Zerret, Neale, Serong, Cerra, Lashcroft, Lindsay, Hustwaite (Gross, Moraes, Camporeale)
RUCK; Xerri, TDK (Boyd)
FWD; Horne-Francis, Smith, Macrae, Warner, Daniel, SPP (Cleary, Stone)
FLEX; Freijah
Currently thinking Cerra, Moraes -> Boxshall, Rozee/Sinclair
TU: Good Trades
TD: Not
Please feel free to leave any suggestions/thoughts – especially on how to fix bench cash gen
24 trades, 1 boost, $13k in the bank
Stuck with Lalor in f7 and can’t move him to another position downgrade option.
Is there any fwd downgrade options that I can’t see or just hold as he has an easy three weeks
Wait to see if Erasmus is named, maybe? Otherwise, yeah hold – job security is solid and warm bodies on your bench should not be underestimated
To get in this week:
TU: Rankine
TD: Chad Warner
Hi all, just wondering if anyone has access to the latest player DPP data, specifically on Will Ashcroft?
I’ve got one FWD position left to fill and was thinking of going Rankine this week, however I also have Will Ashcroft who I see only had 26% CBAs over the weekend. If he is potentially in line to gain FWD status, maybe it would be in my best interest to plan around that and focus on MID targets to try and accelerate the growth of my team.
Cheers!
Pretty much zero chance of DPP unfortunately. Starts on the wing a lot and plays midfield around the ground, as confirmed by heat maps.
Surely Erasmus gets a look this week with Freo’s embarrassing performance + his good WAFL form + Young injury?
SPP to Warner and Gross to Boxhall
SPP has done his job and Warner has more upside IMO. Thoughts?
I already have Daniel at F6 but Warner is slightly better for my bye structure (than Dunkley)
TU – Warner + 33.2k
TD – Dunkley
TU: Soligo to Rankine with 120k left in the bank?
TD: In flex position – Flynn to any premo under 600k?
pls help thanks
Any thoughts on both Fonti and Bo Allan’s job security prospects?
Allan we’ll give games to but is still very green. Won’t score or play consistently.
Fonti had a few good moments. Steadied himself on his second attempt going I50 for a nice GA.
Doesn’t have any downward pressure on him by the looks of it and Stone was always due a spell.
One you’d want on the bubble and relying on OF.
TU: flynn + bice + moraes > Sinclair + marshall + hustwhaite (14 ITB, last boost)
TD: moraes + kako > warner + Hustwhaite (4 ITB, don’t know if I can trust warner long term)
Thinking this.
OUT: Soligo/Bice, Davidson, Flynn
IN: Warner, L Ryan, Hustwaite
Would leave 4 on-field spots left to upgrade, 21 trades left, 0 boosts.
TU: Yep, do it
TD: Don’t
Also, trying to decide who to trade out of Soligo or Bice. Thoughts?
OUT
TU: Bice
TD: Soligo
TU – Flynn, Bice, SPP to Gawn, Warner, Brock (if named)
TD – Prior, Bice, SPP to Dawson, Warner, Boxshall
Bargain hunting for my next upgrade, what is the general consensus on Luke Ryan?
TU: Viable top 8 defender from this point on.
TD: Not worth bringing in.
Moraes, Cerra -> Boxshall (Erasmus if named), Rankine to swing forward when SPP is upgraded
Cerra BE of 130 and seems to be slowing down
Only can afford an upgrade if I trade out Lashcroft, which option is better?
TU: Neale $200 ITB.
TD: Rankine $62,700 ITB.
Do we think the Chad is the best option around 500k?
upgrade Flynn to Xerri this week (using 3rd boost) was a no-brainer, until i realised Xerri has a round 12 bye.
Already have (6) Sheezel, Rozee, Cerra, TDK, JHF and Daniel missing. Xerri will be 7th.
TU: Just get Xerri
TD: upgrade elsewhere and get Xerri in round 13 (he plays Eagles r13) – cost extra $50k
If not Xerri.
Flynn to Merrett this week and Bice to NWM or Sinclair next week
Merrett will have the Jordan tag this week
TU: SPP, Davidson, Prior > Rankine, Warner, Boxshall
TD: SPP, Bice, Prior > Merrett, Warner, Boxshall
Many thanks
Can afford any defender, need one, after trading SPP with DPP
T/u Whitfield
T/d Nwm
Comment sinclair
Whitfield is a must have
Might go full left field with a POD. Dangerfield into the forward line average is 98 not a bad price. TU Do it or TD find someone else
Comment Sinclair
T/U
I like. But his BE is high, so you know you can get him cheaper
For Dream Team (hope that’s OK)
TU: Sicily 85 ave
TD,: Luke Ryan 82 ave
Thanks
Hi all, loving the comments this week. Thoughts on Jack Steele? I can do one upgrade this week and he is only 473k. Favourable bye round and seems to have a good run home – plays Weagles, Dee’s twice, North and tigers in the run home. Only concern is he is not quite good enough for M8 for the year.
TU – upgrade to Steele
TD – upgrade to Warner
Don’t mind it if you have a spare couple of trades, knowing you will need to trade him out.
I’d wait to see what Phillipou does to the midfield
if it’s to be one this week:
TU Xerri (3rd Ruck)
TD Chad
Have you looked the byes. Xerri was my no-brainer trade in, but I’m then overweight in round 12 bye players
TU: Davidson –> Chad Warner
TD: TDK –> Gawn
Soligo:
TU: Trade
TD: Keep, worry about upgrading rookies first
Would you trade out Grundy, I have Flynn as my flex, and bring in Petracca
Going Kako > Boxshall as I’m happy with the OF rookies and need the cash for the below trade:
SPP to –
TU – Warner
TD – Kennedy
Looking at the stats these guys are pretty similar, with Kennedy being more of a POD after this round of trading. However, Warner’s cash rise looks slightly nicer.
