Hi All, a few of the more Senior Fan Footy coaches around here are planning to offer invaluable advice on trading and strategy and just generally answer questions you may have in these times of Fantasy Football Trouble and Strife.
We have found it extremely difficult to answer all the different threads that are put up in a short period of time.
So if you have any questions ask away and a Senior coach will answer your query. May not be straight away but generally we will respond in a reasonable length of time. May be easier than starting threads. Also peruse questions as there already be an answer up there for you.
We will lock the thread half an hour before lockouts on Fridays or as in this case Wednesday as well to ensure all questions lodged by that time can be answered.
For SC Senior coaches please feel free to jump an answer questions so we can share the load.
Good stuff guys
Might start this off.
As you saw in my thread last night about who to get Adam Treloar or James McDonald I'm thinking of downgrading either Cogsy for McDonald or Smith/Milera to Treloar who I get I will decide later on in the week. Anyways would it be good to upgrade Bower to Drummond this week instead of getting Treloar and Old Mac. I will bring in 1 but should I bring in both and not get Drummo.
I know Drummo has had his injury run but when his on the park he notches up big scores constantly. Right now Bower is on my bench with Ellis.
Current backline
Goddard, Deledio, Broughts, Waters, Lake, Bugg, Clarke (Bower, Ellis)
Here's the team:
Defenders: Goddard, Deledio, Birchall, Malceski, Lake, Clarke, Bugg (Ellis, Morris)
Mids: Ablett, Swan, Murphy, Boyd, Selwood, McDonald (Shiel, Magner)
Rucks: Sandi, Giles (Stephenson, Redden)
Forwards: Franklin, Martin, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, D.Smith, A.Kennedy, Hall (Milera, Couch)
Trades Remaining: 20
Cash Left: $20,200.
Are there are trades I need to make? Main problem is that I have to start 3 forward rooks. If I get Treloar in, the forward line will look a little better though.
Is it worth doing Milera to Treloar or Couch (if not named) to Treloar?
Thanks

Ringo is probably best to answer about Lions players but be very wary of Drummo, very injury prone. I would take Eski over Drummo any day if you have the cash. So i would go Bower to Eski and then Milera to Treloar and Congs can still make you some money

Milera's BE is close to his average, if not this week trade next week. Look to rade Morris in 2 weeks as well. Otherwise it looks ok
Hey Ringo,
I'm happy to help out if you need it. I have registed since may last year but have been using the site since 2010.
Also anyone stuck always feel free to send me a Personal Message

I personally wouldn't risk Drummo. Has burnt me before. If bower gets dropped I would consider it but I would take a less risky defender. Plus I know we all have to cop a zero somewhere but already having waters and Lake in the backline I would take a round 12 defender. Eski is the obivous pick but Hibberd could be a smoky

Not sure on that. Trealoar will make alot more than Milera but normally I would wait 2 weeks for Milera price to peak. But then Treloar will not be a relavant pick because by that time he'll be over 200k. But iff couch isn't named I would do that instead. But couch can't be far off.
MILERA $215 100 COUCH $ 94 700
BE 34 0 GAMES
AVE 67 WILL TAKE 3 WEEKS TO GAIN $
EXPECTED PRICE RISE @ $14 500, 3 WEEK ROLLING OF @ $58 000
TRELOAR $113 200
BE -77 ( 2 GAMES )
AVE 73
EXPECTED PRICE RISE @ $ 65 000, 3 WEEK ROLLING OF @ $148 000
By the numbers Milera has more cash to fatten up on. I would go COUCH - TRELOAR this week
Loss of $18,500 but after price change profit of $46,500 with significant fattening to come.
Couch is a worry. If he hasn't cracked that side yet they must be holding him back for latter in the season or further.
Milera has Melbourne then Hawks. Would re-assess after the Melb game
EDIT; note the schneider is expected to return rnd 7

Whilst he is on the park Drummond will probably average 90/100 so need to factor that in. As we know is injury prone but at that then same time will score well and increase in value. Just need to decide is this worth the risk when compared to 2 guaranteed cash cows in Treloar and Mac. IMO I would take the second option even though I am a Lions supporter but your decision
heres my team guys

Good team. Move out Hale for Orren/Longer, and get ready to aggressively bring Pendlebury in team in 1-2 weeks.
cheers, thoughts on magner and kennedy? im thinkin of holding on for bout 2 more weeks
p.s wont downgrading hale be a waste of a trade if im gonna upgrade giles later on? or no

Kennedy is going to be line ball call. A lot depends on trade situation and how you plan on tackling the byes.

Thats not until awhile, and you are losing too many points/$$$ not starting Giles in R2. Also allows you to grab Pendlebury fast, while Ablett is injured.

Hello new captain :)
he does say he is going for league,,, i would say hold trades and keep hale, as long as u think your team is good enough to win half your league games. hold trades for as long as possible
i might just downgrade hale to orren/longer this week coz they're on the bubble then maybe dg to miles/pfeiffer and upgrade to pendles next week when he should be sub $600k

BE 13 BE 20

EXPECTED RISE $29 000 EXPECTED RISE $22 000
Still some fattening up to do. Hold !

cheers, thoughts on magner and kennedy? im thinkin of holding on for bout 2 more weeks
i would hold on to Kennedy due to his draw, has GC and lions in R7 & 8, then Tigers and Dees in R12 &13
Alot of people are holding on to Magner for the year. If you want to get rid of him for $$$$ then trade him just before the bye. He does have a better draw after the bye though. GWSx2, Lions, Tigers, Port, GC and Crows and he should be free of the tagging role during these games
Quote from: 4INAROW on April 23, 2012, 08:36:25 PM

i would be upgrading Hale and holding onto Giles, if he aves 90 he will make money all season and can be downgraded for cash after the byes
and if i dont get pendles in 2 weeks it'll be hard later, so i think ill do the hale trade to get pendles in 2 weeks and hold on kennedy and magner. and hopefully grab pfeiffer/miles/neale in a few weeks

With Ablett gone for potentially 2-3 weeks, you need Pendles fast and Hale is most logical underperformer. Also activates 3RR structure to maximize points/week
Plenty of merit in the trade, league or non-league...
so many choices lol >:(

u dont need too.. pendles will come down in price.. orren/longer arnt certain starters,, next week do the double trade of miles/5fer and sit tight for a few weeks. you'll have a decent bit of cash and will be able to upgrade at will whenever u see a good pick up.
how are u going in your league? are u one of the stronger teams? u only have to get into the finals.. so it is situational to how desperate u are to improve your side
yeah getting pendles in 2 weeks is a must for me, just after the best way to do that without comprimising points and the hale trade sounds smart.
Im happy to help if any of you wanna chuck me a PM ill do the best I can to help you :)

orren,longer,redden and mummy all didnt play last week.. thats all i'll say
yeah i just thought of that too, its a concern. ill wait for teams n c how we go i spose
Just remember compared to other Rookie Rucks Longer is only 18 so will be rested. This is what basically happened this week at Brisbane as he was pretty sore form giving Sandi 10cms and 20kgs after Berger injury. So suspect him to be in and out of Brisbane's team. Can not take risks with our future. Was virtually BOG in reserves on the w/e as well.

how long are you planing on keeping MAgner?? Getting in Barlow will give you 3 players (Swan, Magner and Barlow) all with the R12 bye, What about Mitchell or Murphy, do you have enough cash ??

Magner would be gone by rnd 12
You definitely need to trade Old Mac into team this week - B/e -117 so will rise substantially after this week. So ledger to MacDonald. Clay Smith is also not getting games after his initial 102 so I would be tempted to go him to Barlow as well if you consider Barlow a keeper in your team. has only had a small increase in price due to first round scores being low. These will disappear from rolling average and if he scores another 100 this week will rise a fair bit in price.
This all depends on whether you are keeping or trading Ablett.

Keeping Ablett Sorry should have said I have already traded Smedts to trealor so I only have one trade left this week Trading in Barlow could also give me a problem with the bye as in the coming weeks I plan to get Pendles . I'm really only going for league win
Just made a thread then saw this...
Current team:
Def: Goddard, Deledio, Carazzo, Hargrave, Bugg, Mohr, Morris (Ellis, Smedts)
Mid: Ablett, J.Selwood, Boyd, Priddis, McDonald, Magner (Fyfe, Shiel)
Ruck: Cox, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
Fwd: Franklin, Pavlich, D.Martin, Dangerfield, A.Christensen, A.Kennedy, D.Smith (Milera, A.Hall)
21 trades to use, only 4k in the bank.
I'm worried about Fyfe and Carazzo, not particularly liking Dusty too. Like the looks of Goodes and Pendles (especially pendles price dropping). Could get them both (over 2 weeks) but it means sacrificing either Christensen or Dusty. Pendles could come in for Carazzo and Fyfe alone (they are both in the gun for sure).
Going for League, thoughts?

Havent started well so far.. Thinking Milera- Treloar and either zeibell or Barlow in

Cheers on the invite for some advice gents. Never look a gift horse in the mouth!
Current Team
Def: God, Deledio, Shaw, Broughton, Bugg, Clarke, Guthrie, (Ellis, Boumann)

Ruck: Cox, Giles, (Big O, Redden)
Fwd: Franklin, Tippet, Riewoldt, Martin, Kennedy, Milera, Smith D, (Tomlinson, Smedts)
$170,800 in bank
20 Trades left. (Kepping Ablett - Thinking he will be back for GWS (Fingers crossed), and has every chance of going up in price more making him even harder to get back)
Treloar to trade in is a lock, seems to be the only bubble boy worth grabbing this week. Wingard is bothering me so it looks like he will get the chop for Treloar.
Looking around at potential upgrade targets for a second trade this week I only really see Sidebottom or Suckling within reach although Milera would need to be the trade down to Treloar to achieve this.
Am now thinking this second trade should be L Parker. Is on the rise, will be an easy upgrade in a couple of rounds time to another prem mid, will hopefully get some good scores over the next few weeks etc etc - Basically a stepping stone to a Prem.
What do you all think, and / or is there anything else you think I should be looking at doing first? Trying to trade aggresively, but also smart and concerned that next week two more trades will be used, trading down Milera, Guthrie Kennedy etc to Round 6 bubble boys (Miles, Shaw, Crisp, Pfeiffer)

Well Carrots is out for 6-8 and we dont know what Fyfe is doing yet regarding surgery. I would trade Carrots for maybe Esk, Birchalli or Heater (if he plays). In regards to your premium mids, i would keep them as premium mids and your premium mids should not be dpp. I would move Fyfe to the fwds and then trade Fyfe out to get in a premi fwd like Cloke, Robo, Stevie J, Chappy or Goodes. Please check your bye structures before trading in players

Sounds like the Milera to Treloar is just for the Cash?? True?? If Milera gets his average of 60+ for 3 weeks then he will go up about $50-60k over that period. If you get Trelaor and he gets 70+ then he gets the $60k in one week. If you do the trade you will have 4 GWS in your fwds and thus have to spend 4 trades trading them out. You already have 10 GWS players already, thats enough imo.
is Tom Young likley to play more games, a good option for Morris? also thinking Sam Shaw, looked pretty good and finds the ball in the SANFL

4 trades already down and you want to do 2 more, thats alot to use this early in to the comp.
Wingard was used as a sub last game and thus missed his BE. I dont know if his role will chance now that Gray is out. Best person to talk to about this would be PowerBug, he knows Port better than most.
Its not worth getting Parker in for a couple of weeks if you are going to get rid of him. If you are after cash, get a cash cow not a mid priced that has already gone up in price.
In a nutshell, talk to PB about Wingard, dont trade in Parker and only trade out players once they have hit the bubble http://www.fanfooty.com.au/bubble-supercoach.php

not to steal Ringo's light here but i asked Ringo the same question via PM and he replied with the following. Thanks Ringo!!!!
Quote
Not on our injury list now. Was expecting to see him named in the reserves but was not so not sure whether he is still gaining fitness outside. (was lso a top of the table clash so that may of had some influence as well) Will watch with interest this weekend in the NEAFL as I am waiting for both Zorko and Docherty to be named gain fitness in the reserves. Both will be handy downgrade targets if playing and not on the bubble by Round 11.
A handy downgrade target if wishing to downgrade and has not been mentioned may be Jack Crisp who seems have leaped over a number of players. Looked good and found the ball a lot on Saturday night.

i dont know the Pies and Crows lists that well but both players were brought in and played against relatively easier teams on the weekend. Young came in for Reid and will be fighting with Paine for that spot once Shaw comes back. Shaw came in for Otten, not sure why will be interesting to see if Shaw or Otten is chosen against Port this weekend

Otten was/is out of form hence why he was dropped. Shaw played a lot during pre-season because Rutten was out injured. Johncock is another defender who missed the GWS match so I wouldn't say Shaw's job secuirty is the best. However if he plays well, then it makes it harder for them to drop him ;)
Hi there coaches. I was wondering what your thoughts are on the number of keepers that ideally should be locked away at present?
Barring the usual unforseen injuries I have 16 in a 5b - 5m - 2r - 4f pattern. That includes Shaw and Ablett though. I have used 4 trades so far and havent decided what to do with Ablett. Trading him may get me an additional keeper but thats another 2 trades down.
Well, I'll be honest T Dog, you're doing extremely well if you have 16 keepers. Depends on what you deem to be keepers...
If you're talking about Premium's (>$500k), then I would imagine that you could really have only 14 at the beginning of the season, so most would still have 14 as the upgrade/downgrade process hasn't really began yet. Some might start it this week. I will be next week.

I wouldn't worry about trades, my personal view is trade hard and early and get a team of 18-19 keepers quickly. Personally i'm leaving the back upgrades until last, as the rookies there can score 70-80 and the premiums are pretty thin.
In my team i will have only 17 trades left after this week, albeit my starting side was pretty poor as i couldn't get on before lockout, but by trading early it could get you the extra edge in those league games from rounds 8-10. :)
My team is:
Defenders: B. Goddard, B. Deledio, H. Shaw, R. Hargrave, C. Guthrie, M. Clarke, B. Ellis (T. Bugg, S. Morris)
Midfielders: S. Pendlebury, G. Ablett (inj), S. Mitchell, D. Thomas(inj), S. Selwood, J. Magner (S. Coniglio, D. Shiel)
Rucks: D. Cox, J. Giles (J. Redden, O. Stephenson)
Forwards: L. Franklin, D. Martin, S. Sidebottom, P. Dangerfield, J. Porplyzia, A. Kennedy, D Smith (A.Hall, T. Dickson)
Cash left: $33,300
Trades left: 23
I'm considering Treloar & J. McDonald. Should I bring them in or hold onto my trades? If I bring them in then for who?
With 23 trades left, you're in a good position trade wise. I would trade Dickson to Treloar and Coniglio to McDonald. They are both going to make you more money than Dickson and Coniglio.
Deledio, Suckling, M.Clarke, Hombsch, S.Morris, Dempsey (Bower, Ellis)
Gazza, S.Thompson, S.Selwood, JPKennedy, Masten, Magner (Shiel, C.Smith)
Sandi, Hale (Giles, Redden)
Franklin, Dangerfield, Porplyzia, Goodes, D.Martin, Fyfe, Reid (Kennedy, Hall)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which trigger would you pull?
Ablett + S.Reid â€"> Stanton + Dahlhous/Tippett (Im sick of Reid already)
Ablett + Shiel/Magner â€"> Stanton + Barlow (2 almost Premium mids)
Shiel/Magner + Reid â€"> J-Mac + Dahlhous (Make some $$$)
Sit tight on Ablett and just get J-mac in
â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-
20 trades left….
$110k cash spare….
- Firstly, I wouldn't get Stanton - too up and down for me!
- Why not get rid of Smith?
- Shiel and Magner still have some money left in them.
- I'd only trade GAJ if you were high overall, otherwise hold him.
- I'd go Reid and C Smith for Treloar and McDonald with some cash spare for the Magner/Shiel upgrade next week, etc
- If high overall, do first option, but not Stanton, I'd do Murphy or Pendles.

Thanks for the all comments Guys. I will pull the trigger on Ablett and Coniglio for Hayes and Barlow on Friday. Mids finished then. ...depending on Abletts price when he fires up next ::) Will have Selwood, Pendlebury , Swan, Judd, Hayes and Barlow. :-\ Magner and Shiel on the pine.
Hey guys great idea and thanks so much for it the help!
My current team is..
Goddard, Deledio, Shaw, Malceski, Lake, Ellis, Bugg <Morris, Mohr>
Ablett, Murphy, Selwood, Boyd, Magner, McDonald <Shiel, Coniglio>
Cox, Mumford <Giles, Redden>
Franklin, Chapman, Martin, Porplyzia, Kennedy, Treloar, Milera <Smith, Hall>
My question is should I downgrade Mumford or Cox to Orren Stephenson and get in Pendlebury at the expense of either Magner or Coniglio or am I best to just wait over the next two rounds and downgrade/upgrade rookies to get Pendlebury then?
With Ablett gone for the next few weeks, Coniglio and Magner looking as though they have reached their peak, and Giles playing well enough to be my second ruck it seems like a logical thing to do..
Interesting dilemma felsty...
I wouldn't trade Mumford to Stephenson. I'm not sewn on his JS. I would look at Kreuzer and pocket the $$$. With a 4 premium midfield losing GAJ is not too bad for you. I still believe that Magner and Coniglio can still make you some more $$$. I would look at upgrading/downgrading them next week with Neale, etc. With that upgrade you can get your 5th prem midfielder.
Milera's BE is not too good at the moment, so he might be the one you look at downgrading this week, although there aren't too many Fwd rookies coming through, unless Smedts or Dickson play this week...
So guys.... Ablett? in out yah nay
im ranked in the top 100 so do i bench him for 2 weeks and not take the risk of getting rid of him OR do i trade him too Murphy to try and keep improving the overall rank!
Murphy now? and not Ablett till the ass end of the yr?
play rookie? and have Ablett for the yr but not these 2 rds?
im on the fence!
only have 19 trade too, Mids are:
Ablett, Pendles, Selwood, Hayes, Masten, Magner (Sheil, MacDonald)
so for 2 weeks
Pendles (C), Selwood, Hayes, Masten, Magner, MacDonald (Sheil, Ablett)

its the million dollar question and no one has the answer.. if u arnt gunna trade him to a pies or dons player, then u have 3 days to see what news comes out about the lenght of the injury.. im thinking i might take an each way bet and trade him in one of the comps and keep him in the other.. but who knows what my trade finger will do while im sleeping :)
Nice midfield Hippo :)
Because of that, I'd probably hold, but if he's out for 2 weeks, that could be dire!! For me, it would depend on how your other lines are going. Plus you're trades are a bit skinny.
If you were to swap him, I'd make it a Rd 11 bye player, as you already have 2 rd 12, and one rd 13 bye players. If you get a Rd 13 player, then when you bring him back... That's presuming you're keeping Lenny and Masten.
If you do, I'd upgrade Magner when you bring him back.

i think the other lines are holding up well as i seem to have got the bargain byes pretty right at the start and in the last couple of weeks
DEF: B. Goddard, B. Deledio, P. Duffield, N. Malceski, B. Lake, M. Clarke, T. Bugg (B. Ellis, S. Morris)
RUC: H. McIntosh, J. Giles (J. Redden, O. Stephenson)
FWD: L. Franklin, A. Goodes, P. Chapman, M. Robinson, S. Sidebottom, C. Pearce, D. Smith (T. Milera, A. Kennedy)
my head tells me to hold, trades being a big factor in that!!!

i suppose i can always wait a week to get in pendles, especially with his breakeven.. even with me downgrading rookies and that i would need 3 dg and an ug to get pendles wouldnt i??
hey guys
i was planning to downgrade Caddy to Treloar but with Ablett out (keeping him on the bench as im going for leagues rather than overall) is Caddy worth keeping as he may now find more ball and perhaps bump out a few 85+ scores that may finally make his selection in my team at the start of the year worthwhile?
I'm trading Ablett off to a unqiue midfielder, leaving me with alot of cash leftover, so i can bring him in later straight for Magner.

Yes, keep Caddy. as you are going for leagues it's not as important at this early stage, all you need to do is make the top 8 in all your leagues ;)
thankx man, seems like a close call

Wow! You must have a truckload of cash, cos magner is only foreast to rise to 300k in 3 weeks time. That's IF GAJ is actually out for more than one and IF you have no other problems between now and then. I can see a heap of people struggling to get GAJ back in later.

Q #1. FOR YOU RINGO - Where the F.A.R.K is ZORKO!, seriously what have they done with my rook? and hows Docherty going in the magoo's the match reports don't tell you much?
not to steal Ringo's light here but i asked Ringo the same question via PM and he replied with the following. Thanks Ringo!!!!Quote
Not on our injury list now. Was expecting to see him named in the reserves but was not so not sure whether he is still gaining fitness outside. (was lso a top of the table clash so that may of had some influence as well) Will watch with interest this weekend in the NEAFL as I am waiting for both Zorko and Docherty to be named gain fitness in the reserves. Both will be handy downgrade targets if playing and not on the bubble by Round 11.
A handy downgrade target if wishing to downgrade and has not been mentioned may be Jack Crisp who seems have leaped over a number of players. Looked good and found the ball a lot on Saturday night.
This is the news we have been waiting for
First round draft selection Sam Docherty is expected to resume with the Lions Reserves this week, while former Broadbeach Captain Dayne Zorko could also line up for his first match in Lions colours this weekend.
Will be keeping eye on the Team to play Morninside on Sunday may even go out to Aspen Oval and look for myself if I have time after watching the Lions v Geelong on Saturday night.

he has played Carlton, Collingwood and Geelong which are tough opponents, and the dees who arent. His draw gets better after the bye with Crows, Dees, GC, Roos, Blues lion, dogs, Freo, dons and port, with GWS before the bye. He has WC away which will be tough. Stick with him, all that dont have him will be looking at getting him, dont burn the trades

Just by way of clarification have you got Goddard at the moment or Yarran as you have him listed in the Team.
Either way I think these 2 trades are must for you this week - Ledger to McDonald and Cogs to Treloar Both these players will rise substantially after this week and time to jump on.

If you want to get rid of Bower this week look at Geary has risen quite a lot already but has a B/e of just 7 this week as well so further increase will come. There is no real need to trade Bower as he will easily achieve his B/e and will give you a chance to see whether he will have an increased role with carrots out.
Trading Bower would be extremely illogical. Especially given Laidler is now sidelined. You paid ~150K which is pretty much rookie level, even if he ends up on your bench a few times he will make $$$.
Agree with CS now had not heard about Laidler sidelined so a definite keep now.
If Fyfe is named, then I will keep him. But if he isn't then I would definately trade, preferably for Pendels.
However if I wait till he is named, then it will be too late to get Pendels.
Should I just get Pendels now? (keeping in mind I would prefer to keep Fyfe)
or get Murphy if Fyfe then isn't named on Thursday?
Also when are the ANZAc teams coming out?
Thank you.
Coaches are to submit their teams for ANZAC by 5pm today. In saying that James Hird has said that there will probably be some changes to the team put forth today if players are still feeling sore tomorrow. The teams should be on the AFL site by 6 pm, i think they can only release it after Channel 7's news broadcast.

Wasnt aware that Laidler was sidelined. Keep Bower for a while will keep making money if he scores about 60+ a game

Yeah just clarified he is out for 5-6 weeks but now that Laidler out will Bower play a more defensive role, he played the majority of last weeks game in the forward line. Hopefully with Walker coming back he can go back.
Going to hold my defensive line for a few more weeks as everyone are still scoring decent. May pick up Yarran if he continues to drop.

Like to point out that its partial lockout Ringo so dont lock the thread till Friday.
And for Footyrulz:
First off, spell it right. Pendles*
I would get Murphy. Pendles has this rd where the 62 is included in his rolling avg IIRC.
Plus I think that Fyfe-Murphy leaves a bit more cash, and the ppg difference between Pendles and Murphy is neglible at best.
Hope this helps!
Quote from: Footyrulz on April 24, 2012, 06:28:39 PM
If Fyfe is named, then I will keep him. But if he isn't then I would definately trade, preferably for Pendels.
However if I wait till he is named, then it will be too late to get Pendels.
Should I just get Pendels now? (keeping in mind I would prefer to keep Fyfe)
or get Murphy if Fyfe then isn't named on Thursday?
Also when are the ANZAc teams coming out?
Thank you.
This is a difficult one and you need to go with your gut. Are Pendles, Murphy and Fyfe in your desired team. If yes then I would till Friday Final Team announcements bearing in mind that can still change and if Fyfe named keep but if not go Murphy. However if Pendles is a higher priority than both then obviusly you would need to trade prior to lockout tomorrow. One question though are you wearing a donut for Fyfe or do you have cover because if you have cover I would just hold. Reason Pendles has a B/e of 188 which he is probably not going to get so his price will fall a little whereas Fyfes will not change.
So basically I am saying if you have cover sit as you may only be loosing 50/60 points by not trading Fyfe.

I was thinking of going;
Rohan > Treloar
and
Firrito > Waters
Had these 2 as uniques, but now with Rohan's injury and Firrito's BE creeping higher every round, thoughts?
i have carrazzo not sure who to get for him? not sure if i should trade down to a rookie and upgrade magner to a prem?
my team is
def: goddard, deledio,carrazzo ,birchall,lake,marty clarke,bugg. emg s.morris,smedts
mid:abblett,mitchell,swan, priddis,magner,j mcdonald, emg c.smith, shiel
ruc:cox, giles emg redden,stephenson
fwd:franklin,riewoldt n,goodes,dangerfield,porplyzia,A kennedy,D smith, emg A hall, J cameron
21 trades left and 101900 in the bank
any other suggestions would be great as i dont really know what to do or who i should be targeting as im new to this
Keep byes in mind. No Blues / GCS / Hawks / PTA / Tigers / Saints should be selected as looks like at least one donut already.
Consider M Johnson / Malceski / Hurn / Adcock or Drummond?
Hey guys,
Have coniglio, shiel, magner and macca in mids.
Cameron, d. Smith, Kennedy and Milera in fwds.
Would you recommend trading any of the above this week for Treloar or
just sit tight? 21 trades left

Rohan to Treloar will get you $140k what are your plans for the cash.
Firrito to. Waters would leave. Sideways trade with both approaching their ceiling so not a lot to be gained. Would probably keep Firrito as he is averaging 92 and will be a good d7 with that average but your decision.

If you really want to trade in Treloar I would go Milera to Treloar. Been disappointing after his first 2 rounds with scores falling. Very near his ceiling with a B/e of 33.

hey ringo i wanna get a premium mid in who would u recommend was obvisouly thinking of stanton,selwood,pendlebury,swan?
Well out of that bunch EZA Pendles will still come down in cash a bit (provided he doesn't score 180 tomorrow!) so I think he is the best pick but you may be better off waiting a week and getting him even cheaper.

hey ringo i wanna get a premium mid in who would u recommend was obviously thinking of stanton,selwood,pendlebury,swan?
My opinion and in order of those you have named Pendles, Selwood, Swan and Stanton assume you Murphy and Ablett. Can not go wrong with Nick Dalsanto or Boyd as they will average well as well.
To complete my mids I am looking at Murphy and Pendles so am watching falling prices and B/e religiously and as Roo Boys has said unless Pendles scores more than 180 tomorrow he will fall further.
Well last week I made what was a stupid trade in hindsight, as I didn't want a donut in my backs. With Lake, Shaw, Smedts and maybe Ellis out I traded out Dickson in the Fwds, traded in Paine and subbed Smedts with Paine to fill my backs. It also gave me a fwd, back DPP rotation if needed. Turns out I would have won my head to head anyway and Paine has been dropped this week!
So this week I'm still looking at a donut in my back line, ( Townsend might get dropped as well! ) so put Smedts in the back again just incase he gets a start.
Is it worth wasting another trade to get in Treleor, and if so, should I keep Paine and trade out Milera, or what other option?
My side:
Def: Godds, Dell, Shaw, Adcock, Lake, Ellis, Bugg, (Townsend, Smedts)
Mid: GAJ, Pendles, Sellwood, Priddis, Magner, Shiel (D. Smith, Neale)
Ruck: Cox, Giles, (redden, big O)
Fwd: Buddy, Pav, Martin, Goodes, Porps, Kennedy, Milera ( Cameron, Paine)
22 trades left, but only $5100 left in bank.
Can't really find an easy solution to my back line woes either, any ideas out there?
P.S. copy and pasted this from another topic I started, should have put it here first!
Do not know whether I commented in your thread but apologies if I have.
Wait till final team announcements on Friday to see if Smeldts and or Townsend are named. If both named which is possible move Shaw to emergencies and replace with one with the e on the other. Reasopn to actual do this is added coverage in case of other late withdrawals.
I would definitely Trade Paine for Treloar this week though and also play him in preference to Milera. Paine will rise in cash slowly (and I also made the trade foolishly) so better to get someone who will make cash quickly. Would be ideal to get J Mac in as well but can not see him unless you trade Smith but he has some dollars to make.
BTW to are in great position with 22 trades left and team sound.
I've got Dempsey and 19 trades left. I'm not sure if I should trade him to Duffield/Scotland Or hold and cop a donut.
Also should I go Dickson/Kennedy to Treloar ? Is 17 trades enough at this stage?
Cheers

19 trades at this stage is probably where most should be. However if you are comfortable that 17 will be sufficient and suit your team structure should be fine. If you consider Duffield or Scotland as a permanent keeper in your team then do the trade if not sit,
I would probably definitely do Dickson to Treloar though.

Interesting Dilemma with Cunningham.
Need to ask yourself is the uncertainty whether he will get games with Swans (remember Rohan was in and out a number times last year and this seems to be their policy with youngsters) worth possible lost cash from MacDonald.
Cunningham is only $94k so could be worth while sitting on the pine. Concern I have is although he has played only one game as a sub and in a quarter and a half of football only got 4 possessions. I would trade if it is was me but as is the case with these forums like to give you advice to enable you to make your own decisions.
If you decide to keep Cunningham I would bring Macdonald in for Ledger. IMO Bringing in MacDonald is a must as you know he has the experience and will score well when compared with unknown rookies. Has a large negative b/e of 117 this week so immediate cash gain assured.

Cheers Ringo for the feedback. I like the look of getting both McDonald and Treloar this week for instant cash and the fact JMac should have good JS. Treloar opens up DPP with my forwards which could be handy. Cunningham will need to be selected and on the ground for me to consider keeping and as you said his form as a substitute back in round 1 wasnt exactly inspiring.
Is there anything else you can see with my squad that might need a tweak. Sandilands this week will hurt as I just brought him in for Mumford and I have questioned myself selecting NRoo for Fyfe over the likes of Sidebottom after last weeks form. Hopefully with St Kilda playing Melbourne this week will give him a little boost to his form and my decision making :-\

Cheers for that advice Ringo, that's exactly what I was thinking, just needed someone to talk me into it! Paine is no longer a pain.
As far as my back line goes, I'm forced to play Smedts and Townsend as I have lake as well as shaw and lakes not due back until the next round I thought? Edit: My bad, back this week!

Your team is quite sound and like all of us we have some non performing prems Martin :-\ :-\ but we picked them for a reason so stick with them. Stick with N Roo last week was his first downer and he is still averaging more than Sidey at this stage. Just watch now that we are up to Round 5 rookies nearing their ceiling so you tarde with maximum effect. Good luck going forward.

How many trades do you have left if Less than 19 would reconsider but if you have 2 as you say I would do this Tyson to J Mac and Patton to Treloar both expensive players sitting on the bench who are not playing and the 2 ins will get you instant cash after this week.. Also who is your 9th forward as only 8 named.
However before doing the trades wait for final GWS team to be announced as there are indications of 6/7 changes from last week.

I agree, I'm really starting to worry about Grimes. Have to get rid of my Melbourne supporter bias.
With Carrazzo & Grimes...I basically have $983,200 to spend
I suppose, again getting rid of my Dees bias, Geary is playing us this week, could smash it

OK. If you make the 2 trades suggested you will have further cash available and time to start looking at improving your team if you have trades. Can not afford Morabito sitting on the pine for a number of weeks. Can you also afford Berger out till Round 12 expensive pine sitter.
However this is all based on number of trades you have left.
worried about Geary with Gwilt, Gram, Farren Ray & Peake all kicking about in the reserves.
Does this change his game time, role or spot in the side? Malceski obviously a lock for Sydney

Bit hard to get all the info being in QLD where AFL news is page 6 in the sporting sections but imo these guys would have to earn their spots back. But as you say Malceski would be a lock Duffield may be another one to look at but a bit more expensive.

Hopefully Zorko plays reserves this week when final teams announced. With our depth this year Players have been given 2/3 games in reserves to gain match fitness so he may not be in till say Round 8/9 and then may have to force his way in if current players retain form.
So you have to look at who you would trade for Treloar if it is someone who is not playing or has peaked and you need to trade down then trade but if trading just to get Treloar in and missing out on further cash gains then I would wait. There will be a number of Zorko type players coming through to target in coming weeks as well.
So the short answer if benefits team yes but if not hold. I assuming you have J Mac though because if not he would be a must this week.

Smith, Kennedy, Milera and Hall are my forward rookies. Milera seems the only one to have peaked. Kennedy and Smith may also reach their peaking next week

Barlow, Ziebell, PArker in that order. I can see Barlow missing some games this year due to his leg problems at the start of the year. If Ziebell can keep his head he would be the pick to get. Swans players generally arent reliable for points week in week out which kills me as a supporter

Would go Melera to Treloar and Ledger to MacDonald will be a solid return for you even if Ledger named. I have already pulled Ledger to Treloar.
what is your thoughts on my team.. With ABLETT out i only have 2 prem mids, do i use 2 trades to get another or use just the 1 LEDGER > MCDONALD/TRELOAR??
BACKS - Goddard, Deledio, Malceski, Broughts, Bugg, Morris, Lake (Shaw, Ellis)
MIDS - Selwood, Boyd, Magner, Shiel, Greene, Cogs, (Ablett, Ledger)
RUCKS - Sandilands, Giles, (Redden, Stephenson)
FWDS - Franklin, Dangerfield, Chappy, Martin, Roughead, Kennedy, Smith (Hall, Cameron)
70k in the bank, use 4 trades so far.
Cheers
With 20 trades left I would just do Ledger to McDonald. imo McDonald will make you more quickly to allow your upgrades. Wait till teams announced though before doing the trades as GWS may have some surprises that may want further action.
Also start watching the B/e of some of your rookies as they are starting to near their ceiling.
Your team is sound and obviusly your first upgrade is in mids.
Hi again there coaches. I have been seeing a lot of teams in my leagues that have been set up and with changes made with no consideration of the bye rounds. Is it really worth worrying about my teams structure as we head into rd 11 or just go all out for points etc ? I know there is a lot of forum advice on this but many teams are obviously not seeing it. I wouldnt want to miss out on a league win ( or 3) along the way, only to find out I am playing teams in the bye rounds who are happy copping donuts anyway.....I suppose this makes sense? :o

Easiest thing to do is see who you are playing these weeks but there are a lot of people not planning for the byes so with a bit of luck 3 wins there

That's way to much common sense and a bit easy to do there Nathan :-[...thanks for the advice
Hey guys just a thought but I think a good idea would be too have a page dedicated to coaches that are the 'experts' in fantasy football on their favorite clubs eg. Ringo > Brisbane, Valkorum > Fremantle. I know this sort of information is common knowledge to a lot of coaches on here, but for a few noobs like myself it could come in really handy..

Good point, if you go to the club pages alot of the coaches have already put up comments about the teams they follow and if you have any questions just start a topic

This is good advice Valk and I are usually the instigators of the majority of topics in the club boards but if you need specific just ask in the club board and someone will sure to answer. I look at Brisbane board each day.

I would seriously consider going Mummy to Nic Nat before nats price rises too much further. Mummy also has a break even of 166 when he next plays so his price will go down. nat is averaging 104 for the first 4 rounds and seems to be favored at Eagles so trade and pocket approx $100k.
Hey guys, need advice, can go Nic Nat for Mumford but what about
Mumford for Maric , ave 91 and
Magner for Barlow.

Can you still do Magner to Barlow if you went Mumford to Nat.
Mumford to Nat will give an average 15/20 points per game over Maric. Do not see Maric reaching prem status.
Quick question, although im thinking not the greatest move just thought i would throw it out there n see what u boys think
I have Sandi, Giles, Redden and Orren in the rucks and looking at copping a donut
But i have Roughy in my forwards
Would it be worth to trade out redden who's JS looks pretty shakey now that Renouf is back, switch Roughy into my rucks to cover the donut and bring in Treloar who looks a more solid cash cow into the forwards?

not knowing your team/rucks etc. i gather u have giles, nic nat and giles share the same bye. which may mean u cop a donut in rd.11

that would be an ideal move,, so for 1 trade u make 60k, avoid a donut and get a decent cash cow in treloar..
it will be a good trade
the only problem will be what do you do once sandi plays again next week? bench giles?
yeah thats the only problem i can see with it, id have to sit giles on the bench until a rookie needs to be traded out in the forwards and i can move Roughy back forward.....but then i have no idea who i would be bringing in as a rookie priced ruck to make that move

Not a bad idea using the DPP trading room. Trading a ruck to a forward. As you say now with the Lady back and Lobbe not far off may be time to get him out.
An option for you reading maidens post as I type this may be to trade in Rowe for Reddan so you can switch Roughy as required as with Tippett and Petrie last year. Just check and see how it sits with your byes.
perhaps i can use Rowe as my link to get Roughy back into the forwards? i think getting Treloar in this week would be the better of the two options yeah?

rowe probably will never play though,but there arnt many options.. do you have cover in the forwardline if u have rowe? also does that mean you'll miss out on treloar? ofcourse you could just cop the donut.. without knowing your team and situation its hard to really say whats the best option..
team is
Backs: Goddard, Deledio, Heppel, Malceski, Dempsey, Hargrave, Clarke.....Morris, Ellis
Mids: Pendles, Boyd, Magner, Shiel, McDonald, Caddy......GAJ, Coniglio
Rucks: Sandi, Giles......Redden, Orren
Forwards: Buddy, Goodes, Chapman, Roughy, Dangerfield, Porplyzia, Smith......Kennedy, Cameron
Cash Left: 7,700
21 Trades Left
Hope that clears it up a little
has cameron been named?
yeah hes back in after his rest

ok yeah rowe could be the go, he wont play but he'll open the dpp link.. and if u still want treloar just burn your 2nd trade
Thankx, i think ill go Redden for Treloar this week.....and then use Rowe as a downgrade for a forward rookie to get Roughy back in the firwards and best rookie of the year (Giles) back on ground....and then if he gets rested just pump Roughy in there when its needed.....thankx guys big help working out the kinks
A question for you fellas. Rockliff vs Priddis? who do you guys think will be the better pick
Priddis = Ultra Consistent. Can bank on him in any game in any conditions to get you a ton. (Score within 100-130)
Rockliff = Ball magnet when on. (Score within 60-160)
Priddis has the hardest finals playing Geel-PA-Coll-Hawks in those four weeks, but he is the kind of player that could prove a game changer and get a big SC score.
Rockliff's draw is average. The top teams this year are spread out so his scores could fluctuate according to the opposition.
Overall I'd go with (and already have) Priddis looking into finals, but if you want to take a risk the rewards could be good with Rockliff.

I dunno if i am the right person to answer this question, those that know me already know my answer....
MATTHEW PRIDDIS
i have a league game that i need to win this week and with ablett injured i was thinking of trading him out for ziebell who i would think will do well this weekend and get me valuable points.
This will net me 300k and hopefully ill be able to get ablett back later on once rooks have fattened.
Trades arent an issue as i have 23 left atm.
Basically all im asking is, is ziebell good enough to be a keeper for the year and average 100+ from here on
Quote from: dogdog on April 26, 2012, 10:56:00 PM

Agree to a certain extent with PB and Bomber. Rocky is a risk but maybe worth bringing during bye rounds as Brisbanes draw after the bye is reasonable in that Brisbane play only 3 of last years final 8 in the final 10 rounds, However if looking now Priddis will be consistent.
Which trade option?:
Kennedy to Treloar (leaves me with 19 trades)
Couch to Treloar
Hall to Treloar
1 of the above options AND Sandi to HMac to avoid a donut (18 trades)
Thanks a lot, leaning towards option 1, as Kennedy has the highest BE of my rookies, and I would rather trade a giant for giant, rather than having one more giant in my team.

Tough one Dicey to make a decision on.
Ziebell - last year was his first real full season playing 21 games and averaging 79 SC points. However when you look at his last seven games including the first 2 this year (excluding the Freo game when he was injured) his average is 120 with lowest score of 90. Will he be this years Rockliff wish I had a crystal ball!! Priced at $428k with a B/e of 30 will rise in value this week.
Ablett is Ablett and is confident he will play next week so I like most coaches are playing safe with him on the pine. You say that you may trade him back in but what if Ablett brings out 2 more 130+ scores his price will be approaching $740/750k maybe pricing him out of range.
Do you have an alternative to upgrade to or trade to Ziebell. He may be akeeper if he maintains this current form.

Kennedy to Treloar would be my choice as well as imo he is nearing his ceiling after his first 2 round scores may came back better next week after his rest but not really worth the risk.
Regards Sandi Trade I would go Sandi to Natanui unless you want the extra cash generated by going to H Mac. IMO maybe a concern with Roos dropping Goldy this week will they start rotating their rucks because the three talls policy was not working?

I would disagree with trading Kennedy just yet or even at all, he is the real deal, forget his score and game last week, he isnt a wet weather footballer. Put him on a dry track and watch him go, I am considering keeping him for the year, he is one GWS player that really strikes my appeal. I would trade Hall, he is a small forward who wont score well, he will average 55-60 as for Kennedy, he can be used anywhere on the park, a Mr-Fixit sort of player. GWS version of Jimmy Bartel (excluding his wet weather form).
I now need to trade mummy because he is out for a month, but there are no really good trade options.
Im considering Ryder, Sandi, NicNat, Roughy, Kruezer and Mcintosh but no convinced with any if them.
For Sandi I would and Ryder I would have to wait a round but they are the best options.
NicNat and Mcintosh are both decent picks but have the round 11 bye (same as cox and giles, my other rucks.)
Im not sure that Roughy can score consistently like the other rucks.
Everyone loves Kruezer but Im not sure about him and I dont wnt to be a total sheep!!
Thoughts?
You can afford to wait a week as neither Mummys or Sandy's price will fall. Ryder had a B/e of 101 so there should be no change to his price as well.
If you decide on Ryder and as you are getting decent scores with Cox and Giles I would trade Ryder in forwards and then downgrade one of your other rucks to Rowe from Carlton thus allowing you to move Ryder back and forth as required similar to what happened between Petrie and Tippet last year. An option to assist with bye. By Round 11 you may be wanting to Giles out also if he has peaked and is not scoring as well.

Thanks but ryder isnt MPP and rowe isnt playing anyway.
Im not zure i can afford to wait a week cause i realised that there are prob 2 other trades that i want to make next week. (possibly shiel to oendles and a downgrade)
So who would u get out of NicNat, mcintosh, kruezer and roughy?
Sorry just saw that HS records Ryder as ruck only. FF site still has him as R/F so that is where my confusion came from.
Nic Nat is the obvious choice from that list but if looking to avoid the byes and I have just looked at it myself and Giles will be a handy back up is Jolly. Scored another 100 Anzac Day and may give you the cash you require to upgrade to Pendles. Mummy to Jolly next week will leave you with $195k to assist. If needing to trade this week and taking in byes maybe Mummy to McEvoy who will still average around the 100 and give you $100k.
Not really a fan of any of the other options - What will happen with Kreuz when Warnock comes back, McIntosh may suffer if North rotate ruckman as goldy had been dropped this week, Roughy may not get as much ruck time with McAuley now being named.
Who to get for JRoo?
How much cash have you got available and advise current forward line so we do not suggest players you already have.
Able to get anyone up to 530k.

There are no cash cow rucks currently playing this week as Cordy and Sellar are averaging there BE and wont make you much money.
Goldy has been sent to the 2s to find some form, so HMAC has it to himself.

agree you only have Buddy and Sidey (if he is a prem) as your prems. Goodes (hawks, Crows, Tigers, Dees), Chappy (Lions, Dees, Crows, Pies) and HArvey (GC, Eagles, Dogs, POrt, lions) have good draws for the next 4 weeks.

This one is tricky. Let me first of say that i dont have Fyfe, but if i did i would trade him out to a prem fwd (i cant see how a guy can pop his shoulder and then play the next week, he will likely do it again this week). But you need to get Old macdonald in for Coniglio as Greene and Shiel still have negative BEs.

not sure about hmac. Wont he be fighting goldy for a spot. Nic nat maybe a good option. was trying to make a bit of cash too with my mummy trade. Do you think a definate premium is more important than making cash right now?
There are no cash cow rucks currently playing this week as Cordy and Sellar are averaging there BE and wont make you much money.
Goldy has been sent to the 2s to find some form, so HMAC has it to himself.
i think i will go nic nat. will give me $100,000 aswell.
for 2nd trade im thinking either fyfe to dahlhaus or coniglio/shiel/greene to old mac

ok so will have to take a chance on fyfe this week hopefully he is not named sub and get old mac for coniglio. aaagghhhh!!!! bloody injuries..

JRoo > premium or mohr > geary?
Geary has Dees this week (will the backs see the ball), then hawks, blues, eagles and swans (might see too much ball) Cant see Mohr being out for more then a week so only if you need to do that trade, otherwise no. Jroo to Harvey, Chapman
Thanks mate. I'm thinking of JRoo to Christensen
Think You need another super prem rather than Christensen though. Goodes, Chapman, Harvey, Jordan Lewis and even N Roo is going ok this year.
agree you only have Buddy and Sidey (if he is a prem) as your prems. Goodes (hawks, Crows, Tigers, Dees), Chappy (Lions, Dees, Crows, Pies) and HArvey (GC, Eagles, Dogs, POrt, lions) have good draws for the next 4 weeks.
I went Christensen to save cash. Hopefully it pays off
Just heard on twitter that Fyfe is playing tonight, so watch and pray he complete the match.
Neale is the sub
geez i hope so. Supercoach has made me super religous this last 2 weeks. Plleeeeaassee God (and i dont mean Goddard) let fyfe play the whole game!!!! And score 100+
Boys,
Seen a lot of teams with 5 or 6 prem mids at this stage. Do recommend this strategy? Should the first upgraded be in the mids?
DEF
Scotland, Heater, Goddard, Dids
Hargrave, Lake, Bugg,
(Ellis, Morris)
MID
Ablett, Pendles, Selwood, Boyd,
Magner, Macdonald
(Shiel, Ledger )
RUCK
Sandi, Giles
(Stephenson, Redden)
FWD
Buddy, Goodes, Sidebum, Danger,
Porplyzia, Kennedy, Trealor
(Smith, Dickson)
I was thinking Ledger > pfiffer, Sheil > Horsley to raise some cash, get DPP, and get some good cows. But if I do this I will be giving up pts to teams with perm mid combos.

regarding the mids setup, yeh alot of teams do have 5 or 6 prem mids and are scoring well, but some of those teams have prems that are going to miss the same bye week. If you are going to set up your mids make sure you dont have more than 2 prems missing per bye round.
Regarding the trades, wait o see what Pfeiffer gets today and dont get Horsley yet, only played one game

I would also add Jacobs to the list scoring well.
I am looking at these upgrade targets and instead of starting a thread about it I thought I would post my thoughts in here. The 3 guys I am looking at, who should all drop in price, are Mundy, O'Keefe and Sylvia. Mundy before his injury last season was killing it and has been working his way into form. He scored 110 against Carlton after having 27 touches. O'Keefe is slowly working his way into form as well after returning from his pre-season injury. He is a proven scorer in the past and with a lack of consistent premium forwards this season he could be very useful. Sylvia after starting as the sub was able to put up 60 SC points this weekend after only 6 touches (5 contested and 6 tackles). Are these 3 all worth targeting or should I be looking at other players?
My mids are Ablett, Rockliff, Hayes, Jack, Magner, Sheil, McDonald, D Smith
forwards Franklin, Waite, Dangerfield, Martin, Chapman, Porplyzia, Treloar, Kennedy, Hall
The other guys I want in after the byes are Pendlebury and Murphy. So I want to try and get Ablett, Murphy, Rockliff, Pendles, Hayes, Mundy as my starting mids (pending injuries and current form).
My bottom two forwards I will look at trading out for Sylvia and O'Keefe
Franklin, Waite, Dangerfield, Martin, Chapman, Sylvia and O'Keefe will be my starting forward line
I had Otten to start then swaped to Hurn, was this a big mistake, I now have.
Gods, Deli, Suckling, Conca, Hurn, +Ellis morris clark bugg,
but what to do with Bunga? cut my losses?

Greatr to see you have a plan for upgrades. You need these players now as keepers. Sre you prepared for the ride Sylvia will give you. Had him last year and he was good early but then slipped down in form and got suspended. That is why I am wary of him. O'Keeffe good alternative if you do not want Goodes. Mundy is looking like he is slowly getting back to form and if you need him now is the time.

How many trades left. If ok for trades maybe consider a straight swap with Waters who seems to be on the up. If not keep as he may come good but do not let his price fall too far though.
Im thinking of going Magner > JPK
leaving me with a midfield of Murphy,Pendles,Jobe Watson,Ablett,JPK & Mcdonald,Shiel,D.Smith
what do you guys reckon,JPK has been on fire and wont be this cheap for a while considering his b/e of 67
and also,in my league i have a bye in round 12 because we only had 17 teams so we decided to include a bye team to make it fair
so the bye is not an issue!
Was looking good at the start of the season but the past few weeks have killed me and im not sure what to do next ? :-\
This is my team
Def: Deledio,Goddard,Hurn,H.Shaw,Dempsey,Bugg,Drummond (Ellis,Morris)
Mids: Ablett,Pendlebury,Watson,Boyd,Magner,Shiel (Jmac,C.Smith)
Rucks: Sandilands,Giles (Redden,Stephenson)
Fwds: Franklin,Goodes,Martin,Dangerfield,Porplyzia,A.Kennedy,D.Smith (Smedts,Hall)
$20,700 in the bank with 19 trades left
Any advice would be helpful
Your first mistake was jumping on Drummond.
Should have got NicNat like I did :P Sandi should be back.
Midfield is great, forwards are good cant do much about having non playing rookies. Has happened to us all.
You only copped one donut on the weekend I assume?
You might want to go C.Smith to Horsley but other than that Id be sitting tight.
However I hear Drummond is injured so you could get a rookie and upgrade Porpz.

when ever some one has mentioned JPK i have said buyer beware as i had him last year and his scores were from 50-110 each week. With socres of 113, 99 and a booming 173 i would get on the train. He smashed his BE of 121 out of the park and he now plays crows, dees and tigers in the next 3 weeks. *rubs hand togther* very worth while.
If there is a down side to JPK is that when he gets tagged by the better taggers dont expect him to get over 70, but no one is tagging him yet

Cheers mate, do you have any ideas on defenders to downgrade drummond to?
Coaches! need some direction please....
I would like to bring Pendles for D.smith. One way i can do that is by downgrading Mummy to a ruck no more than $427,900. I can only see Kreuzer, Maric or Jolly as my only options? should i bring one of them in?
Another option is upgrading Mccarthy (b/e 55) but i feel he still has more money to make and would rather D.smith gone to decrease the amount of GWS players i have (8). This option would leave me more cash to afford a ruckman such as Nic Nat, Mcintosh, Jacobs or Mcevoy.
One last option i thought about while i typed this all up is downgrading D.smith to Pfieffer which leaves me enough cash to uprade Mccarthy to Pendles. However i would have to use another trade for Mummy the following week. Nic Nat, Jacobs and Mcevoys prices would not have moved alot with their b/e this week.
Thoughts?? cheers!
Mummy out this week upgrade McCarthy for Pendles d smith to Horsley next week
My team is:
Defenders: B. Goddard, B. Deledio, H. Shaw (inj), R. Hargrave, C. Guthrie, M. Clarke, B. Ellis (T. Bugg, S. Morris)
Midfielders: S. Pendlebury, G. Ablett (inj), S. Mitchell, D. Thomas(inj), S. Selwood, J. Magner (J. McDonald, D. Shiel)
Rucks: D. Cox, J. Giles (J. Redden, O. Stephenson)
Forwards: L. Franklin, D. Martin, S. Sidebottom, P. Dangerfield, J. Porplyzia, A. Kennedy, D Smith (A.Hall, A. Treloar)
Cash left: $137,700
Trades left: 21
Okay so I could do with some help. I have a few "problem children" in my line up and a few possible options and would love some feedback.
My biggest concern is Devon Smith. His breakevan is now higher than his average so I'm thinking of trading him to Pfieffer. I considered Adams from GWS as an option, but he isn't on the bubble until next week so I think he'd be a better option for next week rather than this week if he shows similar form. With the left over cash I was thinking of upgrading Porplyzia to Beams. Based on form v Breakevan I think Beams should get it meaning this would be the week to get him if I were to do so. Doing this would still leave me about $55k for future upgrades. Porplyzia still has a good BE but I haven't been able to find any info on the injury that forced his withrdrawal.
I also considered Horsley from Gold Coast but as he isn't on the bubble until next week and all my midfield rookies still good Break Evans I was thinking of waiting until next week and get more for him.
My other concerns are Hargrave (he was also a late withdrawal due to injury and I haven't been able to find any info on him), Guthrie and Hall but I thought it would be as I think I can cover them if need be.
What do you think I should do? Should I do both trades or just one trade? Have I missed anything I should consider?

Like the option of Devon Smith and upgrading to Beams - With the injury to Ball he will get more time in the mids and is starting to find form. Upgrading Porplyza is the best option given there is a thread saying he is having scans on shoulder. You have good coverage for Hargrave as well so just sit this one out. I would also be playing Bugg on the field rather than emergency. Well set up team/
Had made a thread but this looks easier...
I am performing the ultimate sin and doubting the legend that is Gary Ablett. Recent articles on the AFL website have posed doubts that he will play this week which has got me thinking...
I scored really badly this round (1960ish) so I have this idea to get back into the game:
Money ATM: $339,200
Gablett --> Pendlebury = $446,900 (+80ish pts)
D. Smith --> Mitch Robinson = $184,300 (+50ish pts)
+ $180,000 from culling a cash cow allows me to get Gary Ablett back by getting rid of player = $357k (hoping Magner or Shiel can get to that) unless gary ablett somehow comes down in price...
Summary:
4 trades
2 upgrades
1 sideways
1 downgrade
(PS I have 20 trades in the bank ATM)
Down to 16 trades and assuming (Lake or Bugg)/(Jmac or Shiel)/Giles (majority of them) can hold down there positions only 3 more players need to be seriously upgraded (M. Clarke, B. Ellis, Milera)...
Given the amount of injuries so far this year I wouldn't be in a bad spot. I also haven't really given much thought to the byes. I Figured not many people will spend trades unless upgrading (which I'm doing early) so I'm not really losing anything.
10 trades left with an almost finished team...Thoughts???
Wait till teams are named. Ablett himself is pretty confident of playing and if not will be a definite next week. Would be reluctant to trade Gazz for a week.
Are you able to do a double trade to get Pendles this week so you have both in mids?

If I don't do this then I am hoping Magner can go up 30k more than Pendles does this week. Then I can do a straight swap. Also reluctant with the rookies on the bubble this week. Not too many good options, looking at Stringer but JS is a concern, Pfieffer looks the best option or Crisp but he may get dropped like Longer did...
Or other option is Devon Smith --> Goodes but leaves me with no cash for Pendles :(

If Crisp is named I would look at that option has a negative B/E 48 so will get a handy price rise straight up especially priced at $94k. I reckon he will be in the team for the next couple of weeks until Zorko comes in. Similar types of players.
Magner has a B/e of -6 whereas Pendles is 110 so Magner will probably rise a max $30k so need to hope that Pendles does not go overboard.
I got Magner's B/E of 13. Not helping I know, but who should I cash in and upgrade then???
Rookies are --> Magner, Shiel, A. Kennedy, D. Smith, T. Milera, A. Hall
All have cash to make (except probs Smith this week)...

Smith was the sub last week so he should play the whole game this week and score well 60-80
Quote from: tabs on May 01, 2012, 02:25:03 AM

I am assuming he won't be the sub again as 1. He got a lot of the ball when he came on and 2. Sheedy seems to be rotating his subs around every week.
My question though is won't he B/E be high for a few weeks until that 17 is out of his rolling average? Or if he scores say 70 this week it will drop down to like 20 again?
Also to add to this, I have to trade Fyfe-->Pendles with this 12 week injury :( so now I have 220k. Stevie Johnson in for Devon Smith perhaps? A game against Melbourne might be what he needs to get back into form...This comes to mind because by moving Fyfe to the midfield I have to start 3 rookies...

G'day fellas,
Big dilemma this week in my rucks.
Current setup - Mumford, Jacobs (Giles, Redden)
Whether or not to downgrade Mummy and get Pendles with that cash (hence putting faith in Sauce and Giles to keep carrying me through), or hold tight, wait for my cows to fatten and use the Mummy cash elsewhere in the coming weeks?
Cheers.

Thanks for the help. With this. I'm thinking that I will go Smith to Pfieffer and Porplyzia to Beams. My only query now is with the news about Ablett today should I look at trading him instead of one of the mentioned trades or is or worth sticking with him a little longer to see what comes of the injury?
When he was first injured the club said 3/4 weeks but we were guided by information which said he may even play last week. Personally I thought he would be gone for 2 coming back to play their must win game against GWS. Still believe this so am expecting to see him next week..
You have cover for both Ablett and Thomas in Shiel and McDonald if named. Just looking at your mids are you happy with Daisy in your final team He is $546k with a B/e of 169 when he returns. If not now may be the time to offload him if worried about having both on the bench. If you want to go this way hold the Porps trade.
quick question guys, ill throw my team up to make it easier for ya, my plans are to hold on d.smith for one more week, then trade him and clay for adams and horsely next week.
then shiel to pendles and maybe hall to goodes the week after, thoughts?
currently ive got $603k and going for leagues.
B: goddard, deledio, birchall, malceski, hargrave, clarke, bugg. ellis, morris.
M: swan, murphy, jelwood, magner, shiel, jmac. GAJ, clay.
R: hmac, giles. redden, stephensen.
F: buddy, chappy, danger, sidebottom, porpz, treloar, kennedy. devon, hall.
keep in mind im aware of the risks of certain blokes not playing this week ,e.g birchall, malceski, murphy rested.\
my questions are assuming all goes to plan this week :)

Do not mind the strategy at all. May be tempted to go Clay Smith to Horsely or Pfeiffer this week to give you added DPP protection in case Selwood and Murphy do not play this week as well as Ablett. Clay has a B/e of 37 this week so will not rise much in price and may be the sub again. Wait for team announcements though and then make your decision.
Just keep an eye on your bye situations with prems trading in.
okay guys, need your advice. I want to trade Milera to Zaharakis. Milera is $228,200 and has a break even of 13 Zaharakis is $431,700 and has a breakeven of 71. Do you think Milera will rise more tahn Zaharakis so i wait another week or should i trade Zaharakis in now?

Wait for teams.
If Milera is named, wait a week. If he isn't, do the trade.
Milera will easily reach his BE and rise in price more than Zaha this week, (as long as he avoids the vest!).
Hold fire on Milera lads, he is a week or two from realising his full $$$$$ potential.
Hey guys, my dilemma is a midfield donut
JSelwood, Boyd, Magner, Shiel, McDonald, Clay Smith (Ablett, Judd)
20 trades, 45 grand left. What should I do? Want to hold Ablett and Judd, but yeah trade Clay for anyone? And maybe thatll help with an upgrade to Pendles or someone in a few weeks Or should I just cop it.
Cheers

If you have not got Pfeiffer I would go Smith to Pfeiffer gives you a DPP to forwards,
Other alternative is Crisp if you like risk maybe only in Brisbanes team for another 2/3 weeks but rookie priced at $94k and has a negative B/E of 49 so will have a nice price rise for you this week. Could be a Straight Swap for Zorko in a couple if weeks.
Here is a question for the coaches
I need to start 3 of the following 5 players in my backs, which 2 do you start? and who is the emergency??
Bower v GWS
Lake v Pies
Hargrave v Pies
Clarke v Dogs
Ellis v Port
or do i play 2 emergencies as have Birchall, Shaw, Bower and Hargrave coming back this weekend

Abundance of riches in the backline tabs!
tough one - I'd plump for Lake and Clarke just to 'off-set' any team stacking (ie Lake + Hargrave) but Ellis against Port is very tempting.
did you mean 3 on the field or 2 plus the emergency?
anyway I would rate in order of Lake, Clarke, Hargrave then Ellis ...
if Blues play to potential, Bower shouldn't see much of it in the backline should he?? ;)
Coaches any feedback would be terrific. It is GAJ related but I really am not sure what plan of attack. My main worries are the CASH I have (to afford to get him back if traded) and the BYES to come (trying to avoid 2 Prem missing in each position).
Trade - Pendlebury or Murphy (best fits I can see for the byes). Pendlebury is at his bargain base price. Price rise of about $10k. Murphy has a high BE and looks like dropping the same price Pendles goes up.

Keep - I figure most people were looking at a minimum of 2 weeks with Ablett on the sidelines anyway, which gives you till next week to decide on a replacement if the knee looks worse than it is. Im not worried about overall, concentrating on leagues. Am 2-1 at worse in my leagues (with some 3-0).

i can see bower sitting on cameron the whole game and his only possessions would be kick ins, HBs and tackles

Hey guys
Really concerned now. Traded fairly aggressively
so far this year and now with Goodes, ablett and Sandi on bench with rookies close to peaking.
Really need some help with my next moves. 18 trades left. Do I trade Goodes? But to who. Only 11k in bank. Any
Advice would be appreciated

Personally, I'd be looking at Goodes --> Dangerfield/Beams, and Milera --> Adams.
Hopefully Sandi plays this week, but your team's looking pretty solid imo.

17 trades, 95k left. Going for league win.
went Shiel and D Smith to Pendles and Pfieffer last week, perhaps pfieffer a mistake if he can't get full games but thats life
Liking Horsely and GWS Adams but also a few trades down already... Kennedy high BE this week (56) and Hall not playing
a) use DPP with Pfieffer to put Kennedy in mids, Kennedy to Horsely, Hall to Adams, pocket cash
b) Kennedy to Horsely (via Pfieffer), leave Adams
c) leave both, save trades.
d) open to suggestions
[edit] also should note I have 11 out in round 11 bye, which would become 12 if I go kennedy to Horsely alone...

Magner to Horsley but wait for team announcements as you may have to do something with forward line if Goodes is not playing and Hall or Dickson are not named and Treloar does not recover from injury.

I would only do option B Hall has a negative B/e and with injury to Bock will more than likely get some games now and and give you cash. If you wanted Adams I would be tempted to go Millera to Adams. Think Millera is getting close to his ceiling and Adams will earn more cash.

When trading GWS Players I would be looking at trading in Round 12 and Round 13 Players to assist, I had a strategy worked out to get me through the byes with only 2 donuts but injuries are causing a rethink slightly. That is why I am trading in Horsley who has a Round 13 bye.

As always it is your decision. Goodes is reportedly going to be out for 4/6 weeks and imo that is too long to have a prem player worth $550k sitting on the pine not earning points for you. Some may say it is worth it though so need to go with your gut. 18 trades reasonable at this stage (I have 19)
Regarding your forwards the following have byes
Harvey, Treloar, Cameron, Round 11
Sidebottom Round 12 (Goodes)
Franklin, Martin, Millera. Pfeiffer Round 13
So based on this Beams is not an issue to replace Goodes Like for Like but as I say your decision. Would not go Lewis though with Franklin and Martin already prems with Round 13 bye.

Swap Treloar/Kennedy, then Kennedy --> Horsely.
Then go Goodes --> Sidebottom.
If you want to keep DPP, just do the Goodes --> Sidey trade.
Other than that, your team;s looking solid.
Apart from a couple below-par scores, Duffman has been great. Good work if you started with him!
It's getting towards the time where you want to be strengthening your midfield, so look towards that in coming weeks.

Coaches, why shouldn't I get Ryan Griffen?
The only reason I can think of is that he plays for the Doggies! ;)

Griffen would not be the worst option as m6 for you. Only concern I have is that he can throw in a few shockers every now and then. As has been said only downside not playing for a top team but then neither does Ablett or Rockliff.
20 Trades: $169,100
BAC: Deledio, Goddard, Shaw, Broughton, Clarke, Bugg, Lake - Ellis, Townsend
MID: Pendles, Ablett, J. Selwood, Murphy, McCarthy, Magner - Jmac, Shiel
RUC: Nic Nac, Giles - Big O, Redden
FWD: Buddy, Dangerfield, Chapman, Martin, Porps, Treloar, Smith - Hall, Cameron
Thinking about trading McCarthy to Horsely then upgrading Shiel to Sidebottom/Beams next week. Am I better off trading Shiel to Mitchell/Dal Santo as they will be about the same price as Sidebottom/Beams?
Thoughts?
If you can aim to get a top premium such as Mitchell or NDS it is always best although the latter has some further price drops ahead of him. What is McCarthy's B/E?

I see I see, its just that my forward line looks weaker than my mids. I can get sidebottom/beams for shiel then switch him for smith.
Mccarthys b/e is 88 with an average of 73

I would possibly only do Kennedy to Horsely as it cuts down your Round 11 bye exposure. Kennedy is near his ceiling imo.

Your decision
You need to weigh up where the points are if you move Goodes to Midfield. Whilst Selwood and Watson are reasonable POD I think your Mid will be better if Pendles were there and imo if you want him this is the week to get him in. Looses your DPP by moving him but keep an eye out for others coming through. Pendlles will outscore Sidebottom so this is the option I would recommend.
Then upgrade Kennedy to a forward if you have sufficient cash or just hold.
Hey all! What do you think is more important, keeping DPP and unloading Magner early, or starting to shed my GWS players and losing DPP. Got to trade Goodes out this round.
Mids are GAJ, Pendles, Jellwood, Priddis, Magner, Shiel, Kennedy, Neale.
Fwds are buddy, Pav, Goodes, Martin, Porps, Milera, Smith, Treleor, Cameron.
Could go Goodes- Adams, then Kennedy to Murphy, (lose DPP, too many GWS, but get Murphy who is a must have sooner or later)
Goodes- fwd prem, then Magner to Horsely, ( Magner not peaked yet?)
Goodes - fwd prem, Kennedy to Adams, ( still to many GWS?)
Or any number of other options, but you get my drift. 21 trades left, going for league win. Any other ideas? Cheers for any replies.

Hey Ringo,
Is it worth trading out goodes? Only 18 trades and very little cash.
Already have sidey so Beams wouldn't be ideal. Lewis or Danger maybe?
Just not convinced on any more fwds just yet.
B: Goddard, lids, shaw, lake, malceski, bugg, Clarke (Morris, Ellis)
M: pendles, Boyd, Thompson, coniglio, McDonald, shiel (ablett, magner)
R: Giles, sandi (Stephenson, redden)
F: Franklin, Harvey, Goodes, side bottom, Martin, Milera, pieffer ( Treloar, Cameron )
As always it is your decision. Goodes is reportedly going to be out for 4/6 weeks and imo that is too long to have a prem player worth $550k sitting on the pine not earning points for you. Some may say it is worth it though so need to go with your gut. 18 trades reasonable at this stage (I have 19)
Regarding your forwards the following have byes
Harvey, Treloar, Cameron, Round 11
Sidebottom Round 12 (Goodes)
Franklin, Martin, Millera. Pfeiffer Round 13
So based on this Beams is not an issue to replace Goodes Like for Like but as I say your decision. Would not go Lewis though with Franklin and Martin already prems with Round 13 bye.
Yeah cheers Ringo. Good point.
Not sure.
Would it be worth doing the Magner -> Horsley and Goodes to Adams this week for cash
then upgrade Shiel and possibly Milera next week or so to premiums??
probably really need a MPP in Adams in mids but I guess its not the be all end all.
What do you think?

Not many of the Rookies have really peaked yet, but if you want the cash Adams and Horsley are the best 2 to consider. I have Goodes but i am keeping him as i want the cash from Horsley and Adams this week and I will be trading Goodes probably next week. Guys like Smith Kennedy, Milera and Magner will go up about $50K in the next 3 weeks whilst Adams and Horsley will increase about $90 in one week. Cameron and Treloar have about 2-3 weeks left as well.
Goodes to Adams, then Kennedy to Murphy is a good move as you still have 5 GWS players but you gain a GC player, in which most will need to be traded out.

only thing with getting horsely for magner is JS. we know magner will play nearly every week, but horsely may get dropped when GAJ and Risha come back. so u go from having a playing emerg every week which u can rely on to one who might not be playing. i know u need the cash so u downgrade, but if u dont have a playin emerg then that hurts also???

Your decision whether cash or premium either option is not too bad.
DPP is not that essential this year as donuts will occurr during byes.
Regarding Horsely JS everyone is worried when others come back but remember Horsely was promoted to cover Harbrows LTI and with season ending injury to Bock, Brown will be forced back tio defence and imo Horsely will be had to drop given form shown compared with others Day etc.

sorry got mixed up between Adams and Horsley
Here's the lines and here's the idea:
Mid: Ablett, Rocky, Murphy, Swan, Shiel, Magner (Pfeiffer, McDonald)
Forwards: Franklin, Lewis, Goodes, Martin, Sidebottom, Porpylzia, Kennedy (Treloar, Hall)
With 17 trades left
Option 1: Pfeiffer to the forward line Goodes in the mids and trade Goodes to one of Mitchell or Dal Santo.
Option 2: Goodes in mids for Pfeiffer trade Pfeiffer to Horsley, Shiel to Pendles.
Option 3: Sideways trade Goodes to another premium.

Swap Kennedy and Pfeiffer.
Kennedy --> Horsely
Goodes --> Dangerfield.
Kennedy has reached his ceiling IMO, and Dangerfield is going to be in the top 5 fwds if he can keep this scoring up.
Was going to trade Shiel to sidebottom/beams next week but now that nic nac is out im thinking about pulling the trigger a week earlier as my opponent has cox and he should score like last week. My team looks weaker now that I'll be copping a donut unless redden or big o play. Sidebottom/beams to replace smith/treloar on the field in the forward line.
So do you guys think I should take a risk and trade next week or pull the trigger tomorrow?

Think you have to pull the trigger now. As much as Smith/Treloar still have money to make, sometimes you have to cut it short like in this case. I'd pull the trigger on Smith, as he has the less of the money to make, for either of the 2 Pies, but I'd go Sidebottom if I was making the choice, no specific reason though.

thanks for the reply. i'm actually thinking about trading out shiel so i can have a dpp link between mid/fwd. both smith and shiel have similar breakevens although shiel averages more.. still trade smith or shiel? below is how my mid/fwd will look if i trade shiel to sidebottom.

CASH LEFT: $77,200
The ideas:
1. Downgrade both Caddy > Horsley & Goodes > Adams = $580K roughly cash in hand (Ablett the week after for Magnet)
2. Just downgrade Caddy > Horsley, and trade Goodes > Rioli/Dangerfield/Johnson (who?)
3. Trade Caddy > Ablett, by downgrading Goodes > Adams (leaves me only $1,600 total cap)

3. Trade Caddy > Ablett, by downgrading Goodes > Adams (leaves me only $1,600 total cap)
Good cases can be made for all three. The big question is how much will Ablett score Has a b/e of 121 so if he kills that price will rise again but if he falls below price will fall and will have a B/e the week after as thw 182 will disappear from his rolling average. So based on that Option 3 may be the best but also has some risk.
Similarly Option 1 by waiting a week Ablett may have gone up too much for you to afford.
Option 2 is the conservative approach Just be wary of the choice as you already have 3 Prems with Round 13 bye. No secret if you read forums that Goodes to Beams is my preferred option.
Thanks for the tips so far Ringo!
Aaron Hall of GCS, not getting games, thinking of trading him to Adams
Pros: Adams playing and on the bubble, doing well
Cons: Not much $ made off Hall, gives me 6 GWS boys (Already have giles, jmac, bugg, mohr, treloar), GWS rotations to be wary of.
Fwds: Franklin, Pavlich, Dusty, Dangerfield, Christensen, Milera, Treloar (Hall, Pfieffer)

Would have thought with Coast injury problems if Hall was going to get games would have got them in the last couple of weeks. So basically what you are deciding is Adams going to rise in cash more quickly should Hall be named in the next few weeks. With so many GWS Players you need to start working out trading plans for non keepers so they are out by Round 11 even it means only 3 weeks of gain for Adams. Personally I would possibly go Millera to Adams and hold Hall because you can always trade him in Round 12 if need be.

I'm thinking it's unlikely hall will get any game time soon with Risky and Ablett back now... Wary of the round 11 bye but also I have quite a few players out then (currently 10 will be out, with no ruck cover if orren and redden don't start playing) so thinking maybe I will take a loss in round 11 to conserve trades. Was planning on keeping Milera for as long as possible, still seems to have cash to make and with a round 13 bye I was hoping he might see me through to then...
G'day gurus! Two options this week, first- Goodes to Sidey or Beams, Magner to Horsely. ( safe).
Second option- Goodes to Pearce, Magner to Horsely leaving me $275 grand in the bank, and hopefully Shiel makes enough and Murphy drops enough to allowme to do a straight swap in a week or so.
Is Pearce worth the risk? Getting Murfs would really cement my mids, I need him!
Keeping Kennedy this week as I want to keep my DPP link.
Mids- GAJ, Pendles, Jellwood, Priddis, Magner, Kennedy, Shiel, Neale.
Fwds- Buddy,, Goodes, Pav, Martin, Porps, Devon, Treloar, Milera, Cameron.
As always comments and advice most appreciated!
NED, I reckon your safe idea is the better but you are better waiting and getting in the Premium you want and can keep for the full year. I don't think this is Pearce.
I said elsewhere re Magner, its like 'pulling the cake out of the oven before it is cooked'.
There are differing thoughts on the DPP value this year given the 3 round bye draw.
Your decision but something to consider
If you swap Kennedy and Goodes and trade Goodes to Murphy will the gain in points outweigh loosing DPP and set your mids earlier.
Whilst Pearce is scoring well can he maintain this scoring. If bringing him in would have to be a keeper as you will be paying $448k for him. Bit of a risk in my opinion but risks need to be taken to get the peanuts.
As you say you can play safe with no 1 option.
Have you considered sidelining Goodes for one week and doing Magner to Horsely and Millera to Adams.

As you say you can play safe with no 1 option.
Have you considered sidelining Goodes for one week and doing Magner to Horsely and Millera to Adams.
Thanks for the replies fellas. I have thought about the last trades you mentioned Ringo, but I would trade out Kennedy to Adams instead of Milera as I have too many GWS rookies already.
Oh well, I'll probably decide about one minute before lockout as usual!
Edit. Decided to trade out Goodes for Horsely, Kennedy to Adams and keep Magner to make a few more dollars. Will lose DPP but hopefully zorko gets a few games and can bring him in in a couple of weeks and regain DPP. Just gotta have a bit of luck to win my league. Fingers crossed!
Just looking for some confirmation this week. My moves look to be fairly straight forward but another opinion always helps.
I have 22 trades left and $169,100 and my team looks like this currently
Goddard, Scotland, Newman, Grimes, Lake, Dempsey, Clarke, Bugg, Smedts
Ablett, Rockliff, Hayes, Jack, Magner, Shiel, McDonald, Kennedy
Jacobs, Kreuzer, Giles, Redden
Franklin, Dangerfield, Chapman, Martin, Waite, Porplyzia, Devon Smith, Hall, Treloar
I am going to go Kennedy>Horsley and Hall>Adams. I will lose my DPP link but they look like the two best trade options this week.
Ringo some help please. :-\
Def: Goddard, Deledio, Broughton, Shaw, Lake, Bugg, Morris (Ellis, Townsend)
Mid: Ablett, Selwood, Boyd, Montagna, Magner, Shiel (McDonald, Ledger)
Ruck: Sandilands, Giles (Redden, Stephensen)
For: Franklin, Goodes, Riewoldt.N, Dangerfield, Martin, Smith.D, Treloar (Kennedy, Hall)
20 Trades - $26,600
Option 1
Goodes â€" Sidebottom
Kennedy â€" Adams
Straight forward trade option. Kennedy has maxed out (not a huge profit to be made though) however I won’t make any ground on off-loading GWS players before the bye.
Option 2
Shiel or Magner â€" Horsley or Adams
Goodes â€" Sidebottom
Horsley to make some good cash and Shiel and Magner the only trade options. Finally gives me DPP with Forward if I go Adams.
Option 3
Shiel or Magner (switch with Goodes) â€" Adams
Goodes â€" Pendlebury
Did I read somewhere you recommending this trade? Switching Goodes allows for a Mid trade, Pendlebury the pick of the bunch. However like trade 1 I don’t start to off load GWS players before the bye.

This option leaves you only one more mid upgrade to complete mids so you can start enjoying the maximum benefits this will bring. Looses your DPP but this can be re done with next upgrades/downgrades.

Thanks Ringo. I can't see how I can bring in Horsely and Pendlebury as I will need to trade Shiel or Magner out to bring Goodes in from the forward line.

If I go through with Option 3 my Mid/Fwd lines will look like this:
Mid: Pendlebury, Ablett, Selwood, Boyd, Montagna, Magner (McDonald, Ledger)
For: Franklin, Dangerfield, Riewoldt.N, Martin, Smith.D, Treloar,
Adams (Kennedy, Hall)
I'm concerned its very weak in the fwds. Is this a short term pain for long term gain of Pendles?

Sorry did not read your side correctly as i thought you had an existing DPP to swap. I do not consider a forward line of Franklin, N Roo , Martin and Danger weak. Appears week because of playing 3 rooks.
You have to ask yourself the question as to which set up will serve me best now, playing 5 mid prem and 1 rookie or playing 5 Forward prem and 2 rooks. As we know from this year most forward prems are up and down whereas mid prems are reasonably consistent.

I will miss Horsely if I bring in Pendles...should I be concerned? I'm crystal balling a bit but surely Zorko will be a solid option for a downgrade in 2 weeks? I will use him for McDonald or Magner and then have a DPP with the Fwds
The other issue is bench cover for the following week(s). I would think Sheedy will continue rotating his rookies and if Smith and Adams have a spell in the same week I will be facing a donut in the forward line due to Hall. If the Zorko plan of attack works I may be able to combat it.
If you were in my boat what would you do Ringo?

Zorko will be a great downgrade target but he will also have the Round 11 bye but assuming you have cashed in Shiel No real problems as your round 11 byes will be Zorko and McDonald.
I also have Boyd in that Round 11 Bye... :-\
Is it just me or are things getting harder by the week!

Would not do the last one this week as both of these players still have coin to make and may rise more in value than Lids.

you don't have other def 'rooks' to upgrade??
Delids is a good pick at this point in time - just thinking upgrading Ellis/Morris would make more sense if you have them??
(but guess you don't) ;)
too hard to really separate Bugg and Clarke, though when unsure go with experience, so I would plump in keeping Clarke over Bugg but may be much of a muchness??
Brilliant help guys. Have Ellis but not enough coin and don't want to wait as I want to try and win my league game. I'm going Bugg - lids as I think he may outs ore him by 70

Money helps you upgrade, Zorko is playing this week in a fortnight he could be an answer to your DPP and another cash cow. With 22 trades left i would be going for it.

Magner to Horse nothing wrong with that. Clarke and Bugg are hard to seperate at the minute depends on the bye set up and your thoughts leading into the byes. If you can sit another week on the Deledio trade you could make or save a bit more coin.
is the time right to trade giles for cox, only prob is i will have to down grade someone else and i just keep changing my mind , i will just list my team any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure on which option to take:

3. Trade out Kennedy & Ellis > Spurr & Delaney (using Smedts into the forwards via DPP)
4. Sit and wait it out, based on the GWS guys are rested.

Would keep Giles especially this week especially rucking against Longer.
Smith to Saad assists byes. With Bugg being rested and close to ceiling if you want Spur would go Bugg to Spurr.

Beams is the go out of all of those.
...I seriously have no idea about which FWD I should get...
Because of Smith being rested I'm have a donut in my FWD line. Now I have sealed the Bugg-->Spurr trade (assuming adams is playing).
First problem: Who to trade out?
This is my first dilemma, I have both Smith and Hall who have cash to make, but one has to go. If i trade hall I have $458400 to spend on a FWD which severely limits my options. My other option is trade Devon Smith, but has a B/E of -23, but he also allows me to get whichever FWD i want...
Second Problem: Which FWD to get. My initial thought was to get Lewis because (disregarding RD1) he hasn't scored below 90 or Robinson because I had my eyes on him from the start of the season. The others have been in poorish form, like Pavlich or are inconsistent (Tippet, Roughy etc). Another that caught my eye was Benell. Great form and I can straight swap him for Hall + a POD...
Current FWD line:
Sidey, Buddy, Danger, Chappy, SMITH, Milera, Adams --> HALL, Couch
I can't get a RD 12 player because of Sidey and Chappy already there (takes Beams/Zaha out of the picture).
Ideas???

do you have to off-load Bugg in order to have the cash to upgrade Kennedy??
(if not, leave Bugg alone!) ;)
Alternate option of SJ?? Risky but when he gets goin ... :o
lol.... have to do the trade to upgrade kennedy with extra cash unfortunately
Lee Spur vs J Brennan vs C Delaney
Quote from: vossy12 on May 18, 2012, 05:14:54 PM
Lee Spur vs J Brennan vs C Delaney
qualify my opinion by saying that I don't know much at all of Delaney and haven't seen him play ...
I would scrub Brennan out as an option due to his poor JS esp in relation to the other two.
From what I've read the last week, most people are going Spurr over Delaney but I don't think I can separate them not having had a good look at Delaney on the field as yet ... but if you pushed me I would plump for Spurr then Delaney ...
edit: and 30mins after i write this, Jacob Brennan is named over K Stevens, Stevenson and Swift!
but beware the vest and as Calvin says, "it takes two to sub" ... ;)
Def: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw, Broughton, Lake, Eliis, Morris (Bugg, Townsend)

Ruck: Sandilands, Giles (Stephensen, Redden)
For: Franklin, Riewoldt.N, Dangerfield, Martin, Treloar, Adams, Smith.D (Kennedy, Hall)
18 Trades - $96,800
Will be completing the Bugg - Spurr trade which leaves me with $315,700. Hold the cash till next week or go with:
Option 1:
Ellis - Birchall
*Settling the backline, Birchall or Scotland look the best option but should I wait another week to see how they fair. Bye structure also makes this option a difficult one to make.
Option 2:
Hall - Zaharakis
*Zaharakis a great unique with an easy draw to come. Hall not looking like getting on the park anytime soon.
Option 3:
Kennedy - Sidebottom
*Kennedy still has money to make but Sidebottom is about to have another price rise. I feel like I have been ripped off bringing him in though.
Ringo what do you think? :D

What about JB???
He isn't getting enough of the ball. Good POD but won't score well as he sits up forward for the most of the games. I would get him if he had at least 3 scores above 80. Also the first few weeks of finals are pretty bad for him...
Quote from: j959 on May 18, 2012, 04:10:13 PM
also risky but, Sherminator/Cloke????
Cloke clashes with both Chappy's and Sidey byes so I don't want to cop too many donuts where possible. Sherminator is surprisingly good. Might look into him, but hasn't performed any other years and I don't know why he is performing now...
If you didn't have a cap, who would you pick??

if cash were no issue (ignoring byes) I would go Beams, SJ, Cloke then Sidey ...
but with your bye issues I would go Lewis/Robinson/NRoo for rd13 perhaps?? (unfortunately Cyril is not travelling well enough to give you confidence to take a punt atm)
if it's not looking good this rd, I would suggest you consider waiting it out until a better opportunity comes along??
I'd wait but am gonna cop a donut this week. Smith + Hall + Couch all not playing
So the teams being released have slightly F'ed me. Waite out with a back injury, the GWS boys being rested, Smedts dropped. I was looking to upgrade some players this week but I am in a bit of a spot now.
The team
Goddard, Scotland, Newman, Grimes, Lake, Dempsey, Bugg, Clarke, Smedts
Ablett, Rockliff, Hayes, Jack, Magner, McDonald, Shiel, Horsley
Jacobs, Kreuzer, Giles, Redden
Franklin, Dangerfield, Waite, Chapman, Martin, Poplyzia, Taylor Adams, Smith, Treloar
20 Trades left and $310,300 in cash.
I think I will trade out Shiel this week, move Adams to the mids to gain a DPP back. I was thinking of bringing in Spurr for Smedts and Saad for Shiel. I would start the upgrade process next week as I should have enough cash to start turning guys into guns without having to downgrade. Waite being out means I either have to start Saad or go with no mid emergency. Should I go with what I was going to do or should I look at another option?

I think trading Shiel out is fine at this stage of the game.
Leave Smedts as you don't have a donut in your backs.
If you need Saad to avoid the donut, I think that is fine.
With the mids you have, I think going w/out a mid emergency is fine - unlikely you'd need it (touch wood) - that's a luxury.
what I would say with going with your chosen course of action is ... do you need to avoid those donuts to get league wins??
yes, then do it.
no, then you can wait it out ...
Smedts is back in so I am going to have a look at that trade now. If he is the sub again I think I might have to trade him out
I had the idea of Shiel out Smith to the mids and Smedts to the forward line and Spurr into defense but it won't let you do a double sub. Damn that would have been perfect

Do you have a DPP to Mids that you can use for Smith. If not do you have enough cash to upgrade to a mid price forward eg Bennell as a POD.
just realized I can trade Shiel out and move smith to midfield...less money lost but still deciding between Lewis and Robbo

Go with your gut feel on this one. Both have the Round 13 bye and not a lot of difference between either.

hi ringo, Bugg to Spurr would leave me with 4 round 12 players.
apparently no matter how you go about it round 13 you will cop at least 2 donuts so im thinking about maximising the donut by bringing in a premium now. this is why i went with birch/suck/scotland.
i think i have to keep porps and work on treloar/cameron/hall first.
thanks for your opinion :)

If you want Scotland you could go Bugg to Spurr and Ellis to Scotland. Just depending on your gut or just go Bugg to Birch/Suckling.
all that thinking and i might just re-asses the situation next week. taking a gamble and hoping i can win my league with the team i have in place. hoping pfieffer/adams start as sub. that would help me out big time!

Upgrading Milera, but to which one Okeefe or Dangermouse? Okeefe's scoring output may decline when goodes comes back but is 100k cheaper then Dangermouse. Thoughts???

Dangermouse is running amok in a team that is on the rise. With a B/e of 70 will rise in cash even further. Has not scored below 90 this year and averaging 111 so is Premium material at the moment.
ROK form this year has not been up to his usual standard only one score over 100 an that was last week against Melbourne. Even with Goodes absence still only scored in the 80's against Richmond and Adelaide. So question with ROK will he return to last years form and the signs are not good.
So basically to answer for yourself is the extra $100k I am paying for Danger worth it against the risk of taking ROK in the hope he will get back to last years form. Go with gut but my feeling Danger worth it at present time due to Crows great draw after bye. Only issue being Round 11 byes with GWS players.
I have two Rnd 11 rucks Giles and Hmac I also have D Hale and Redden Need to trade one of the Rnd 11s for bye reasons I cant get my head around trading out healthy scoring players .
Which one to go
Will probably bring in Sandi

Jenkins has a Round 11 bye as well so if you have a reasonable number of trades maybe worth it for cash but if trades are limited just hold. Your decision which is best for you.
hey ringo
my team is currently:
B: goddard, deledio, birchall, malceski, hargrave, clarke, bugg.
spurr,morris.
M: ablett, swan, pendles, jelwood, thompson, jmac.
magner, zorko.
R: hmac, giles.
redden, stephensen.
F: franklin, dangerfield, sidebottom, chappy, zaharakis, porpz, treloar.
adams, hall.
this week i went shiel>zorko and murphy>thompson
that leaves me with about $150k and 13 trades, im going for league and an not concerned with byes
my plan is to go morris>darley on the bubble and bugg>waters/hurn next week.
that will leave me enough $ to go magner>priddis in 2 weeks when he bottoms out.
good plan, bad plan? any suggestions thanks mate :)
Hey guys thanks for your opinions so far. I have made a thread about Newman, but expanded my thinking on a way to protect myself from the byes:
Current team:
BAC: B. Goddard, B. Deledio, C. Newman, M. Clarke, H. Shaw, B. Lake, S. Darley - B. Ellis, L. Spurr
MID: S. Pendlebury, J. Watson, J. Selwood, G. Ablett, M. Priddis, J. McDonald - J. Magner, D. Smith
RUC: A. Sandilands, J. Giles - O. Stephenson, J.Redden
FWD: P. Dangerfield, S. Sidebottom, L. Franklin, J. Lewis, P. Chapman, T. Milera, T. Adams - T. Couch, A. Hall
This round:
Newman --> Scotland
Magner --> Zorko
Next round:
Trade Milera/Smith as midfielders (still maintain one DPP with FWDS with Zorko) and move Scotland into the midfield and trade in Waters/Hurn with the rd 11 bye.
When Darley/Ellis/Spurr peak, they can be traded out to a midfielder and I can move Scotland back into the backline. I'm just hoping Couch and Hall get game time during the byes...
BTW I have 15 trades and 77k in the bank at the moment. Underlined are keepers (Clarke may go later in the season if I have spare trades (doubtful)).
Thoughts???

Plan is ok and can not fault this weeks trades..
Even if going for League need to watch what your opponent is doing as well especially if you are not Top 4.
Have you got a Plan B for rucks if Reddan and Big O do not play in Round 11. With Team structures you may have quite a few donuts for Round 11.
Have you considered Scotland as well for back upgrade. With Murphy out he may get more mid time.
just a couple of things for you to consider as well.

Do not like Magner trade. He has a Round 12 bye which will be useful during these bye periods for you.
Would be tempted to go Milera to Zorko.
Like the plan for Scotland and you can do similar with forwards with Zorko to restore DPP.
Milera is the only rookie who is at or near ceiling at the moment so you can make a bit of cash by waiting a week or two. See how this sits with byes though.

Questions: How long is Swan "really" out for?! & How important is cap/trades?!
I have a few ideas, not sure which if any:
1. Get rid of both Murphy and Swan, for Pendles & Dangerfield
2. Get rid of both Murphy and Swan, for Pendles/Ablett & Zorko + big $$$
3. Murphy straight swap (using cap) for JP Kennedy, Watson, Dangerfield. Leave Swan on bench.
4. Downgrade Murphy all the way to Zorko for bigtime $$$ & leave Swan on bench.

No body know how long Swan is out for . I have heard 1-2, 2-4, 2-6 weeks. Save your trades, i would go Murphy to Thompson as he has a nice draw. I would go Thompson over Dangerfield as i would wait for Porps to ripen and then trade him for danger

FWD: P. Dangerfield, S. Sidebottom, L. Franklin, J. Lewis, P. Chapman, T. Milera, T. Adams - T. Couch, A. Hall
This round:
Newman --> Scotland
Magner --> Zorko
Next round:
Trade Milera/Smith as midfielders (still maintain one DPP with FWDS with Zorko) and move Scotland into the midfield and trade in Waters/Hurn with the rd 11 bye.
When Darley/Ellis/Spurr peak, they can be traded out to a midfielder and I can move Scotland back into the backline. I'm just hoping Couch and Hall get game time during the byes...
BTW I have 15 trades and 77k in the bank at the moment. Underlined are keepers (Clarke may go later in the season if I have spare trades (doubtful)).
Thoughts???
Do not like Magner trade. He has a Round 12 bye which will be useful during these bye periods for you.
Would be tempted to go Milera to Zorko.
Like the plan for Scotland and you can do similar with forwards with Zorko to restore DPP.
Milera is the only rookie who is at or near ceiling at the moment so you can make a bit of cash by waiting a week or two. See how this sits with byes though.
With Watson and Pendles magner being 12 actually causes a donut magner to zorko is a good trade
Am assuming Magner is a target for upgrade after topping out in 2 weeks.

Magner's B/E is 48 ish and only other midfielder on the horizon is Sexton. Thats the main reason for the Magner-->Zorko trade. Also note that I'm not looking to upgrade Magner at all, midfield slot will be filled after the byes...

Hi Ringo !
Long time reader, first time poster.
Have a dilemma with Murphy being injured.
Q - Do I trade in Dal Santo (bargain IMO) or spend the big bucks on either Stanton/Selwood or even Judd ?
Current Team looks like this:
Backs Goddard Scotland Clarke Adcock Lake Hargrave Davis Bugg Hombsch
Mids Pendlebury Deledio Watson Ablett Murphy(INJ) Horsley Mcdonald Pfeiffer
Rucks Sandilands Giles Kruezer Redden
Fwds Dangerfield Sidebottom Franklin Harvey Martin Treloar Adams Kennedy Smedts
Cash in Bank: $202,400 14 Trades Remaining
My concern is can Stanton keep it up, however leaning towards Dal Santo and bank the $165,000 for an 'upgrade' following week such as Birchall for Davis or Pavlich for Mcdonald in 3 weeks.
Your thoughts ??

They are a number of threads about this which no doubt you have read.
Stanton: Top scorer at the moment and as you say will he keep it up. Relies on Watson a fair bit. Will other teams start to now tagging him.
Selwood: Superconsistent but may miss a game or 2 with General
Dal Santo - Down on previous years but still not too bad when you take his flower score out of the equation. Was it an issue with tag who knows.
Judd - Has not been having the best season and with Murphy out will definitely cop the No 1 tag which may effect his scoring.
Have you considered Thompson from Adelaide as well. Crows have a reasonable draw as well. He would be my choice if funds allow.
In Order I would go Thompson; Dalsanto; Selwood; Stanton; Judd.

Questions: How long is Swan "really" out for?! & How important is cap/trades?!
I have a few ideas, not sure which if any:
1. Get rid of both Murphy and Swan, for Pendles & Dangerfield
2. Get rid of both Murphy and Swan, for Pendles/Ablett & Zorko + big $$$
3. Murphy straight swap (using cap) for JP Kennedy, Watson, Dangerfield. Leave Swan on bench.
4. Downgrade Murphy all the way to Zorko for bigtime $$$ & leave Swan on bench.
No body know how long Swan is out for . I have heard 1-2, 2-4, 2-6 weeks. Save your trades, i would go Murphy to Thompson as he has a nice draw. I would go Thompson over Dangerfield as i would wait for Porps to ripen and then trade him for danger
Thanks. Don't have enough cap to straight up go Murphy for Thompson, although I am pretty keen on him.
Is Magner's time up? Or should I just downgrade Kennedy, and not worry about the DPP links?

ohhh.....Wow Smurph lost alot of cash... MAgner can still make some cash, who knows what Neeld has install for him. I would hang on until the byes and maybe go Judd, Dangerfield or Sidey

Cash 75k, 13 trades
Going for league
I'm a few trades down so my question is this: Christensen is expected to play again round 11, but then has a bye in round 12. I have so many round 11 byes that my strategy is to cop a loss round 11, and then try and take out 12 and 13. Should I just hold trades, as my team is not bad as it is, or the other option I'm thinking is Christensen -> Zorko, then Morris -> Heater, would leave me with 120k after the trade.
Will wait and see teams to see if I'm down anywhere but fielding a team shouldn't be an issue. Also this weeks opponent should be a win for me so no real urgency to trade, other than Heaters b/e and Zork's bubble.
Trade or No?
Thanks!

dont trade,, 13 isnt many if ya going for league,, infact if you are comfortable in your league(win/lose record) and u think you'll easily make top 8 (and good chance of top 4) then i would suggest not even trading during the byes at all. you never know u may win 1 of the 3 games anyhow, and that way you have trades in the bank..
... ofcourse if you are struggling in your league then thats another story :)
Howdy Coaches!!
Firstly here is my team. I have sorted them in to bye rounds. Normal font: Rnd 11. UPPERCASE Rnd 12. Bold Rnd 13 :D

Trades 14 $24,800
Ok so my main concern is my byes.
I have pondered this now for two weeks and my brain is just FRIED!! Any Advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Hello guys,
Which of the 2 is a better option for Murphy and Shiel.
Get Nick Dal Santo and Sidebottom with $20,500 spare.
Or do I get Ablett and Zorko with $245,000 spare.
Will have 15 Trades Left and keeping Swan.

well u should have been more proactive earlier, on how many of the same bye players,, but oh well..
maybe work on trying to fix your mids first,, ideally u need to go from 5 to 2 rd.11 mids, so something like greene-->pfieffer then maybe upgrade shiel/jmac---> best rd.12/13 premium mid u can afford... i think though you should just prepare yourself for a bunch of donuts and not worry to much about it..
.. oh and is priddis playing? if not maybe trade him to an appropriate bye round mid prem

I would go Murphy to Ablett and Cameron to Zorko Shiel has a bit more cash to make whereas Cameron is at peak imo either is OK though Your choice.
Start 2 of Horsely, Cogs and Old Mac. Which one?
Need to start 3 of Zorko, Magner, D.Smith and Treolar. What do we think?
Thanks guys

tough one ,, i would probably bench smith.. think its who is vest likely, and i think magner is safe, dont think zorko will be(unsure) his 90 odd last week was against gws soo... treloar vest? maybe its possible.. smith vest? maybe its possible.
one things for sure, the player you bench will be the highest scorer of the four :)
What do you guys reckon about boomer, is he fantasy irrelevant or is he an absolute bargain being low 400s possible even 390 after this round?

Dog this is the hard question to answer. Quite a lot myself included traded in Harvey for Fyfe on the basis that he would score reasonably consistently. Up until today has been a big disappointment but he is a prem for a reason and you keep prems. I would however be wary of Bringing him in now. Would like to see him next week against the Hawks to see if he has got some form back.
I'm really un-sure on what rookie midfielders to bring in that are actually going to get game time? At least over the bye rounds.. Any ideas who?

Your guess is as good as mine. Who knows what the coaches will do over the byes and who with get rested and 2 weeks off.
IMO look at players who played their first game on the weekend. Guys like Yeo, Pearce and Williams who may struggle to keep their spots and have low JS but may play whilst injuries to other players have them the chance

Thats the Million Dollar question. I dont want to decimate my solid rookies just to negotiate the buys but i understand you cant keep em all, but you will need some good ones for the run home as bench cover should an injury occur.
The next crop of rookies coming through now that ive been watching are Sexton, Darley, Black, Walsh (Horrible this week) but theres others, JS looks the issue with some so do your homework and see who fits your structure.
gday coaches, im stuck as what to do next. I have 15 trades remaining, 180K in the bank. Bye wise im looking ok for R11 and R12 but R13 i have 13 out ATM.
My side;
BACKS: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw, Broughton, Lake, Eski, Morris (Ellis, Spurr)
MIDS: Abs, Selwood, Boyd, Dal, Coniglio, Horsley (Zorko, Ledger)
RUCKS: Sands, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
FWDS: Buddy, Chappy, Sidey, Danger, Roughhead, Martin, D. Smith (Cameron, Hall)
Any thoughts would be great
Morris/Ellis to Darley will give you another Round 11 back and assist with byes. (Only Round 11 back currently is Lake).
Think you need to get rid of Ledger as well unless you expect him to play soon. maybe Ledger to Sexton.
Would also look at getting in a 5th mid as most teams will be at that stage at the moment. Depending on who you need to complete your team with bye structure.
Cheers Ringo.
I was thinking of getting Pendles and Swallow to complete my mids. Im going for league only, im 1st in 3 and 3rd in the other, and with relatively easy games this week do you think i could hold off on trading?
Only issue would be if you wanted to get rid of Morris/Ellis for Darley on the bubble and increasing cash to gain Pendles or Swallow.. Your decision but you are in a reasonable position with still holding 15 trades.
If you do not want the cash then no real need to trade.
Hay Coaches,
usually i dont need no assistance with my trades but my next trade is really doing my head in :-\ please help.
I want to trade out Marty Clarke this week with a B/E of 91 but who for?? i can afford everyone coz i have 300k in my kitty.
i do not care about the bye rounds and structures im just going for league wins that involve allot of cash. ive got 12 trades remaining.
my current backline is Deledio, Goddard, Scotland, Enright, Shaw, Clarke, Lake Morris, Spurr
who im thinking,
Beau Waters B/E 47 - i have had the last few seasons and he usaully a clanger king, i really dont think he can keep this up..
Grant Birchall B/E 114 - This guy just dosent seem to be as consistant as last year, im just not sold on him for some reason.
Chris Newman B/E 129 - great scorer over the years , thinking i might hold of this week and get him next week after his $$ drop??
and theres also Hurn, Broughton and suckling..
im thinking i might miss out on picking up Darley im just gonna hope Spurr gets games and makes me more $$
All coaches please help me before i drive myself mad... Thankyou
I think you should go with either one of Hurn or Waters.
With West Coast playing as well as they are now, both of these guys are playing really well off half back and are setting up a lot of attacks for Lynch, Darling, Hill, Cox and NicNat.
I have Hurn in my team and along with Deledio he has been bloody good.
Hurn kicks the ball more effectively and further, but Waters takes a lot more contested marks from the opposition.

Definitely get Waters. Has been absolutely killing it.
Do you have enough cash for Morris --> Waters?
It would be handy have Clarke as D8 come SC finals where teams are resting players left, right and centre!
Backline consits of Goddard, Lids, Waters, Broughtan, Lake, Clarke, Bower (Ellis, Spurr)
Forward consists of Franklin, Zaha, Martin, Lewis, Sidebottom, Porps, Treloar (Pfeiffer, Hall)
Trades: 11
Cash 110,400
Options:
Bower - Darley, Hall - Nick Riewoldt
Bower - Darley, Ellis - Scotland
Porps - Cloke
Hall - Sexton, Porps - Johnson
Hall - Sexton, Bower - Scotland
Prefer the Darley trades, not sold on Sextons JS could be another Hall.
Of them the Bower-Darley Ellis-Scotland is mypick, doesnt alter you bye structure,
Shaw would help you bye wise with your backs instead of Scotland.
Rnd 13 you will loose God, Lids, Scotland.
my team is as follows:
Deledio, Goddard, Newman, Lake, Clarke, Malceski, Mohr (Ellis, Smedts)
Boyd, Ablett, Cotchin, Horsely, Coniglio, Sheil (Adams, Couch)
Franklin, Zahrakis, Sidebottom, Dangerfeild, Martin, Christensen, Treloar (Hall, Zorko)
Have 13 trades and $715,400
I had planned to get Waters in for Mohr( breakeven 75) and Pendles in for Coniglio (breakeven 94), but then Darley came along. i want to get waters before he goes up again with a breakeven of 75 as well as wanting to get rid of Coniglio before he goes down with a breakeven of 89. I want to get Darley aswell so what trades do you think i should do?
thanks in advance
Think you can move on Darley in Round 12. Even though on the bubble do not think he will rise too much given his sub effected score of 23 last week. (Similar to Zorks who only went up $50K).
Pendles plays GCS this week and then Melbourne so could go big so probably need him this week.
Mohr to Waters is a sound trade also.
Your decision but Pendles too good to miss at this price (lowest for year) even though he has a B/e of 122.
Then take your pick whether to get Darley this week or Round 12 (Has bye next week which is something else to consider).
yeah thanks for that help, who do you reckon i should downgrade darley to? clarke? maybe see how Malceski goes this week
Thanks for your input so far.
Have 16 trades left and no cash, what would be your next move. Dont care bout byes too much but any input will still make me consider.
Thnx
Backs- god, lids, broughton, lake, malceski, clarke, darley
Spurr, ellis
Mids- gaj, pendles, swan, boyd, selwood, jmac
Miles, zorkho
Ruck - giles, kreuz
Big o, redden
Forwards- franklin, martin, pavlich, sidey, dangerfield, chapman, treloar
Smith, couch

You have a very sound team there and well done with 16 trades.
Any trading now should be to upgrade and finalise team. Unfortunately there are not a lot of players on the horizon to downgrade to.
This week if Sexton (with Round 13 bye) is named I would downgrade one of my GWS rookies to him for cash, Possibly Smith but your choice.'
Then I would either fiinals last Mid or last forward by upgarding either Treloar or Jmac. (both of these have a little cash to make but this will be offset by the points you will gain by finalising. Can wait till next week but targets may rise in value, Thinking Dalsanto, Priddis or Cotchin for mids (If Priddis wait till Round 12) or Beams or N Roo for forwards but your choice of prems and which line.
Keep an eye on Yeo from Brisbane and if named this week and again in Round 12 you can downgrade to him in Round 12 for further cash and upgrades.
Just giving some options but to re iterate you are in a good position but will wear some donuts during byes.
So this is my team:
Def: Goddard, Shaw, Deledio, Scotland, Hargrave, Clarke, Morris (Ellis, Guthrie)
Mid: Ablett, Pendlebury, Mitchell, Thomas, S. Selwood, Horsley (McDonald, Zorko)
Ruck: Cox, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
For: Franklin, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, Beams, Martin, Treloar, Pfieffer (Adams, Hall)
Cash $300,000
Trades 15
I am thinking of trading in Darley for Morris as Morris looks to be at his top price (his b/e is about 70 I think) and Darley is the first decent downgrade defender this year. I would live some feedback on this and any other potential options I should look at this week.
Hey all, Great site & would appreciate some advise / help on my team.
Cash at the moment $93,100 & 15 trades left.
Backs Delideo, God, Scotland, Shaw, Clarke, Lake, Ellis. Smedts / Spurr.
Mids Pendles, Jelwood, Ablett, Sewell, Barlow, Horse. Hampton / Doherty.
Rucks Jacobs, Giles. Redden / Stephenson.
Fwd Sidey, Danger, Buddy, Zaha, Pav, Martin, Zorko. Treloar / Paine.
Thinking 1 Trade of Clarke to Darley this week subject to teams announced, builds up the kitty for the byes upcoming. JS is my worry as would be a lot of others concerns.
Thanks for any input.

Another well constructed team and good trades left. Well done.
Would only do Morris to Darley as all your rookies still have cash to make. Probably need to look at Hall if not named during byes.
Do you have a ruck plan for Round 11 if Stepenson does not play or happy to wear 2 donuts. A lot of caoches will need to look at this next week.

Only concern I have with the trade is the reliance on Spurr, Darley and Smedts to cover one position and two emergencies. Spurr dropped by Freo and Smedts in and out of Geelong teams and been sub or subbed as well.
Maybe look at upgrading Clarke and downgrading one of Ellis, Smedts or Spurr.
Thnx ringo for your help and great effort that you put in.

keep clarke for the time being and look at either double downgrade or up/down on 2 of the 3 ellis,smedts or spurr..
also (i know its a luxury trade) i would look at getting rid of sewell (hes really not a premium mid)
Which round 13 midfielder Cotchin, Juddy or Nicky Dal
Midfield is: Gazza, Pendles, Jelwood, Rocky, ???, Horsely, James Mcdonald, Neale

Dal...closely followed by Cotch
I am looking at my team and trying to prepare for the coming bye weeks.
I have $187,500 and 17 trades. My current team is
Goddard Scotland Newman Grimes Lake Clarke Dempsey Bugg Spurr
Ablett Pendlebury Rockliff Hayes Jack McDonald Horsley Adams
Jacobs Kreuzer Giles Redden
Franklin Dangerfield Martin Chapman Porplyzia Devon Smith Treloar Saad Waite
Waite is out injured but has the round 13 bye and is expected back next week. He is worth holding onto for at least one more week. My backs look pretty set for the round 11 bye. I am hoping Spurr comes back in which means a full line. I have 3 round 11 byes in the mids, I will trade one out next week. Rucks look set if Redden gets a game. The forwards are the big problem. I have 4 guys with round 11 byes and 4 with round 13 byes. I think I need to trade out one of the round 11 guys this week. Porplyzia is the one that stands out so I am thinking of trading him out for a round 12 forward. O'Keefe looks like my best option since his form has gotten better, he leaves me with the most cash, I only have to make 1 trade to get him in and he is a DPP. The other option at that price range is Mitch Robinson but I already have so many guys missing round 13. In round 12 I can downgrade one of my backs on bye that week to Darley for cash to upgrade elsewhere.

Well done with 17 trades still left.
This week I would do Bugg to Darley - (Both Round 11 so no bye issues) and get extra cash for your war chest.
Porps to Beams, Sidebottom, Stevie J your choice and all with Round 12 byes so Round 11 forward to Round 12.
Next week you can then address some Round 11 Issues but bear in mind we will all wear some donuts during bye so the effort should be to minimise donuts while finalising team. May be a good idea to work out which rooks you will keep as bench warmers in case no downgrade targets come along.
The reason I was thinking of holding onto Bugg this week is for the fact I have 4 defenders with a round 12 bye. I could downgrade one of those guys to Darley and then upgrade Bugg later on. It will allow me greater coverage in my backline over the bye weeks and limit the amount of dounts. Sidebottom is way to expensive to even look at, Stevie J is to inconsistent for my liking and I don't like or trust Beams as a SC player.

No probs good to see you have a plan and put up good argument against the players suggested.
What about upgrading D Smith though this week to perhaps Zaha in a team that is playing well and he is going well. Another alternative to consider and respect your decision. Personally not sold on O'Keffe this year as he needs to feed of Goodes.
I won't have enough cash to trade Smith to Zaha. Regardless the best placed player to trade for me this week in the forward line is Porps who has the highest price and the highest break even. Also if he does not perform well this week he could be dropped post bye. I am a bit worried about O'Keefe myself but he is the best at that price range with a round 12 bye. If I was to go Porps to Zaha it would leave me with $14,900. Going to O'Keefe leaves me with $56,900 He has actually played better without Goodes in the team and has pushed into the midfield the last 2 weeks (scores of 136 and 109). When Goodes was in the team he was playing more in a forward pocket and I think that was also killing his score.
Hi Coaches,
Like many I'm trying to prepare for the BYES. I have looked at my opponents (i know it is crystal balling) some are in similar position to me others not so much and I should take wins there. Have only lost a maximum of 1 game in all leagues and going for league titles. Would like to get a jump on and see where I can strengthen.
15 trades - $202,100
Def: Goddard, Deledio, Broughton, Lake, Morris, Ellis, Townsend (Shaw.H, Spurr)
Mid: Ablett, Pendlebury, Boyd, Selwood, Montagna, McDonald (Adams, Ledger)
Ruck: Sandilands, Giles (Stephenson, Redden)
For: Franklin, Riewoldt.N, Dangerfield, Sidebottom, Martin, Treloar, Zorko (Smith.D, Hall)
If I have to...I was looking at a Morris or Smith upgrade this week:
Morris - Hurn, Enright or Birchall (can't afford Scotland)
They all seem to affect my byes whichever way I look at it. Is it worth just holding him for now to cover for the Round 11 Bye.
Smith - Johnson or Pavlich
Johnson looks like the best trade here and will allow me to cover another possible donut in Round 11 by culling another GWS player. I will have either Johnson or Pavlich to cover with Sidebottom in Round 12. Should I just wait till next week as Smith has some money still to make and Johnson may not rise that much in price?
Another option is to trade Smith out through the Mids and get in a Dal Santo or Priddis. Priddis having the bye next week doesnt really make alot of sense and Dal Santo will clash with Monagna and Ablett in that Round 13 Bye.
I'm in a pickle, any feedback would be great! :-\
smith to johnson as his dpp will be handy for bye trading
To avoid a donut you need to get rid of 1 Round 11 bye player this week:
Next week Outs
Def: Lake Townsend (ok)
Mids: Boyd, McDonald Adams
Rucks: Giles
Forwards: Danger, Treloar, Zorko, Smith
As a thought Adams to Sexton
Smith to a prem of your choice Zaha, Pav, Stevie J, Chappie
Leaves 1 donut next week but opportunity to trade if desired,

Don't mind the strategy but am not sold on Sexton and with Ledger already on the pine the Round 13 Bye would have Montagna, Ablett, Ledger, Sexton missing. 2 Donuts in the midfield and I have Franklin, Martin, Riewoldt.N in the FWDs missing.
Am I best to cop a donut this week rather than several down the track? Will preserve some trades also.
Leave the final decision to you. No point in downgrading to a rookie you are not comfortable with.

Cheers Ringo I appreciate your advice AGAIN! :D I think I will hold and might look at conceding Round 11 with the number of GWS players I have. I figure the trade(s) I don't use tonight could become handy down the track.
Hey guys, just a quick question.
Trade plan is all set out for the byes and @ round 14 I'll have 8 trades left and 1 starting rookie. Is 8 enough for the final 9 rounds? Granted I should be doing one up/down to complete my team I'll effectively have 6 trades for cover. Enough?
Cheers.

Like a lot of us injuries have left us with less trades than we would have liked. 6 trades should be sufficient for rest of season if team set. (2 for LTI's loss of form if required and 4 for finals.) Have said 6 assuming you are doing downgrade/upgrade for final rookie.
How many trades should we have for finals??
I've had a terrible season so far and just gonna wing the byes.. But ive only got 10 trades now and still 2 back rookies playing, 2 mid rookies playing and porps as F7 :(

I would suggest minimum of 4 as we now in the last 2 years GS set in in the Final game.
Everyone though has their own idea because you have to consider where placed in leagues as it is not good to not make finals with 4/6 trades left so you just have to tailor for your individual circumstance.
So this is my team:
Def: Goddard, Shaw, Deledio, Scotland, Hargrave, Clarke, Darley (Ellis, Guthrie)
Mid: Ablett, Pendlebury, Mitchell, Thomas, S. Selwood, Horsley (McDonald, Zorko)
Ruck: Cox, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
For: Franklin, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, Beams, Martin, Treloar, Pfieffer (Adams, Hall)
Cash $474,800
Trades 14
My dilemma is that Horesly looks like he has hit his ceiling and if I were to trade him now would be the time. My ideal replacement would be one of the. Adelaide boys Sloane (cheaper,POD) or Thompson (proven SCer). However Adelaide have the bye and I'm holding onto Pendles meaning quite a few donuts this weekend, though fewer for the other bye rounds. Do I take the pain this weekend and trade? If so which option is better? If not what do you suggest I do with Horesly?
horsley will drop but not much and you need him to cover you round 11 and 12, right time to trade him is after round 12, what i will be doing.
as long as he is playing that is.
good time to get swan or stanton also after round 12 they will both drop in price after thier round 11 games. Boyd another solid option or priddis if your in financial trouble :)
others may see it difeerently :)

Agree with Colli on Horsley - You need him as bye coverage for the next 2 weeks. If he is dropped however that changes the ball game. Will not drop a lot in price. Your trading strategy this week should revolve around your Round 11 Rookies even if just gaining cash, McDonald to Sexton would be advantageous if named.
Hey guys just wondering on what your opinion is on Lewis. Should I carry him through the byes or trade him to cheap Cloke. I want to get some cash if I am trading him because then I can use only one downgrade trade to bring in Scott Thompson rd 13. I have 3 upgrades to go, 13 trades in the bank as of today. He hasn't scored well at all since I brought him in and getting Cloke is going to affect my team the same way it did as if I have Lewis. Just the extra donut is in rd 13.
I essentially want to downgrade him, should I?
So I am looking at quite a few nuts this week. My team currently looks like this with the outs in bold
Goddard, Newman, Grimes, Dempsey, Clarke, Scotland, Spurr, Lake, Bugg
Ablett, Hayes, Jack, Pendlebury, Rockliff, Horsley, McDonald, Taylor Adams
Kreuzer, Redden, Giles, Jacobs
Franklin, Chapman, Martin, O'Keefe, Saad, Waite, Dangerfield, Treloar, Dev Smith
I have 16 trades and $56,900 in cash.
I am in the position in my league where I can afford to drop a couple of games over the bye weeks. I am sitting up top undefeated (most points for. I have tried to manage my trades according to teams I have come up against. If I was up against a weaker team I saved the trades and went with the 0's.
I am tempted to hold my trades this week as I am coming up against a weaker team (our league was merged pre season and the merger teams are all pretty weak) who is going to be screwed by the byes. Looking at the teams before trades he is going to have 5 0's in the backs to my 2, 1 0 in the mids to my 3, 1 in the ruck to my potential 0 and 4 in the forwards to my 3.
Since whoever I trade to will have to go through a bye, am I best holding my trades this week since I am in the position to?

Assuming you are doing upgrades downgrades to complete team that will be a maximum of 6 trades. Leaves you 7 trades and if you do Lewis to Cloke will leave 6. If wanting to trade will do this week as Cloke has a low B/e compared to Lewis's high b/e. Worth it if you are comfortable with 6 trades left.

Would be tempted to go McDonald/Smith to Sexton this week to capitalise on his small only cash rise last week. Has a huge negative B/e as well and will gain cash for you.
With a further 15 trades left I would look at taking advantage of the three trades options in the next 2 weeks to finish team leaving you 9 trades for final assault.
Hi Coaches,
Im unsure on what to do with the byes. Im either first or second in all of my leagues, but these byes have got me stumped. I have 15 trades remaining with 190k in the bank.
My team (out this week)
Goddard, Delids, Broughton, Melcho, Morris, Ellis, (Shaw, Spurr, Lake)
Abs, Selwood, Dal (Boyd, Cogs, Horsley, Zorko, Ledger)
Sands, Stephenson (Giles, Redden)
Franklin, Chappy, Sidey, Roughead, Martin, Hall (Danger, Smith, Cameron)
As is I'll have 9 out next week but 4 fwds, and R13 I'll have 13 out, 4fwds, 4mid, 1ruck, 4back.
Any thought please?

What do you think Sextons job security will be like? I don't want to pick up another Hall/Spurr type player who will get dropped next week. I saw him in his first couple of games and I thought he would be out of the team the next week but I missed last week and I am not sure how he went. If he looks like a decent option over the byes I might pull the trigger because I need as many players with good job security as possible
On a side not, is this midfield good enough to finish the season with or should I look at making some upgrades?
Ablett, Pendlebury, Rockliff, Priddis, Hayes, Jack.
Kieran Jack has been very good over the last 3 weeks averaging 141.7 (Highest in the AFL over this period of time). Hayes was going to be my bottom mid but I think Jack might actually be worth hanging onto as a keeper now.

Just bear in mind any trades you make now will be transferred to Rounds 12 & 13 so you may be better to just do another downgrade this week and I would do Smith to Elliott or Sexton for extra cash.
With then 14 trades left I would be utilising the three trades each week to finish off your team nicely. Cogs is out for 4 weeks with a hand injury so he is an obvious upgrade target for your mids next week. Is it Heath Shaw or Sam Shaw in Defence. I am assuming Sam but if Heath you can take some of these numbers off.
So I see you requiring 2 upgrades in Defence (assuming Sam Shaw); 2 in Mids and 1 in forwards to complete team. Would envisage 8/9 to get there with downgrades/upgrades leaving you 5/6 for finals.
So do not worry to much about bye donuts as you are well placed in leagues - Have a look at opponents teams and decide whether you need to trade to counter but remember any trade must be for the betterment of your team as the aim is not to win during byes but in Round 23.

No one really knows the answer on JS but of the downgrade options we have available at the moment he probably offers the safest.
Will be a nice unique mid field for you with Jack and Hayes there, Jack showing good potential this year and could be a good POD in League games.
will priddis significantly outscore scotty selwood over the rest of the season in SC ?

Hi Coaches,
Im unsure on what to do with the byes. Im either first or second in all of my leagues, but these byes have got me stumped. I have 15 trades remaining with 190k in the bank.
My team (out this week)
Goddard, Delids, Broughton, Melcho, Morris, Ellis, (Shaw, Spurr, Lake)
Abs, Selwood, Dal (Boyd, Cogs, Horsley, Zorko, Ledger)
Sands, Stephenson (Giles, Redden)
Franklin, Chappy, Sidey, Roughead, Martin, Hall (Danger, Smith, Cameron)
As is I'll have 9 out next week but 4 fwds, and R13 I'll have 13 out, 4fwds, 4mid, 1ruck, 4back.
Any thought please?
Just bear in mind any trades you make now will be transferred to Rounds 12 & 13 so you may be better to just do another downgrade this week and I would do Smith to Elliott or Sexton for extra cash.
With then 14 trades left I would be utilising the three trades each week to finish off your team nicely. Cogs is out for 4 weeks with a hand injury so he is an obvious upgrade target for your mids next week. Is it Heath Shaw or Sam Shaw in Defence. I am assuming Sam but if Heath you can take some of these numbers off.
So I see you requiring 2 upgrades in Defence (assuming Sam Shaw); 2 in Mids and 1 in forwards to complete team. Would envisage 8/9 to get there with downgrades/upgrades leaving you 5/6 for finals.
So do not worry to much about bye donuts as you are well placed in leagues - Have a look at opponents teams and decide whether you need to trade to counter but remember any trade must be for the betterment of your team as the aim is not to win during byes but in Round 23.
Cheers..
Yeah I did realize what trades I make now will affect me more so in the next 2 rounds. Been doing a bit thinkin this arvo and came up with this;
Downgrade smith/horsley, then upgrade Cogs to Priddis. I know he has a bye this week but my thoughts are if I trade a r11 bye for a r11 bye prem then this will not affect me in the coming weeks and then gives me the use of the full 3 trades next week. What are you thoughts?
The shaw in me team is Heath. So only 4 upgrades required and 3 if I get in Priddis.
See the logic Colloss and you were getting Priddis anyway so may as well do now and keep the three trades next week as you say to help finish team. Well done with your trading so far and the team you are putting together.

I had to rush off to the game before I could read this. I just sat tight this week and will look at using 3 trades each week over the next two byes.
Hi coaches, looking for advice on my last trade options
Team:
D: Lids, God, Waters, Scotland, Hargrave, Smedts, Spurr (Bugg, S. Shaw)
M: GAJ, Pendles, Boyd, Selwood, Priddis, Magner (JMac, Zorko)
f: Buddy, Danger, Chappy, Sidey, Pav, Martin, Pfieffer (Treloar, Adams)
(Rucks are Cox, Giles, Redden, Stephenson but won't be changing them, I'm happy to keep Giles)
$67,500 in the bank but the issue is only 9 trades left. Going for league as injuries and a couple of unlucky/unwise decisions will cost me getting up there overall (which was never a real goal anyway). I'm 7-2 so far (have definitely won this week) with an easier run home.
Bolded players are the one's I'm thinking of giving the axe eventually, one of Pfieffer or Zorko will stay most likely.
The way I see it, I have 3D, 1M and 1 F spots to fill.
So, the two things I would like advice on:
1) Hargrave - I'm torn on him as upgrading to fill my last spots will use all my remaining trades, I'll be relying on Bench and DPP to cover any finals injuries. Hargrave will play, whereas Smedts/Spurr are looking very dud-like. However, I get much more money selling him and keeping one of Smedts or Spurr, with less bench security. Should he stay as a benchy or should he go?
2) Players to bring in: 1M will 99.9% surely by Scotty Thompson once he's bottomed out. 1F out of Beams or Goodes, any other suggestions? Defenders, I'll get Heater but the other 2 spots are a bit in the air, thinking maybe Hurn and Broughton? But happy for any suggestions... It will come down to $ in the end on both questions really...
Cheers
Need to make a decision on a trade early today due to going off the grid for the week.
Def: Goddard, Deledio, Lake, Morris, Ellis, Townsend, Spurr (Shaw.H, Broughton)
Mid: Ablett, Boyd, Montagna, McDonald, Adams, Ledger (Selwood.J, Pendlebury)
Ruck: Giles, Redden (Stephenson, Sandilands)
For: Franklin, Riewoldt.N, Martin, Dangerfield, Zorko, Treloar, Hall (Smith.D, Sidebottom)
Trade 1: McDonald - Priddis
Will keep my DPP in the Mid/For with this trade.
Trade 2: Sandilands - ???
Can't afford Cox by about $40k so am looking at the following...
Naitanui - Consistent scores of 100-110. Injured early in the year but can see WCE having him fit and firing for finals assualt.
Ryder - Has the bye so would have to wait till next week
Goldstein - Not sure on him with the way North are playing this year.
The other option is to make a third trade Ellis/Morris - Sam Shaw
Will free up some cash to get Cox or Maric straight in and the backline does need a downgrade sooner rather than later.
Should I pull the trigger and make some trades now or hold off for next week and hope Cox drops price alot. Will miss out on Shaw for a downgrade though.
Sylvia has bottomed out at the 320k mark and I know he hasn't had a good year and is that price for a reason but could he be a bargain replacement for Zaharakis or is it more safer going for Taylor Walker.
Forward line is: Franklin, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, Martin, Lewis, Cloke, Zaharakis (Hall, Zorko)
With not many trades left and 2 more upgrades till I finish my team could I take a risk and keep Zaha and play Zorko?

1) I would not worry too much about Hargrave. He is a much better option than Smedts/Spur as you say. If you have trades left for finals look at upgrading him then if need be. At 7/2 you should easily make finals so no point in wasting trades now.
2) Scotty Thompson or Priddis for last mid is fine. Another forward worh considering given Crows easy run home may be Taylor Walker if $ are a consideration as Beams is getting expensive at the moment. With regards Defence those suggestions are ok but I will through in Waters after his suspension, Johnson from Freo (slightly cheaper than Broughton and scoring just as well) and as a roughie Grimes (at a good price) from Melbourne ball will be mostly in their back half.

Just personal opinions for you and go with gut.
If You have 10 or more trades then I would do these 3 trades this week.
McDonald to Priddis
Morris/Ellis to Sam Shaw gives cash but also gets rid of one of your Round 13 Def bye.
Sandi to Nic Nat plus another $27k or Maric if that is your preferred and cash allows
If less than 10 trades just do the first 2 but up to you. Priddis though is a must for you if he is your final mid selection as price is at lowest.

If you are happy to cop a donut in the forward line for each of the next 2 rounds then keep Zaha. Zorko is scoring well enough at the moment to be F7 cover so long as he keeps it up. Would not touch Sylvia had him last year and regreeted it with injuries and suspensions.
hey guys, quick opinion
Backs: Lids, Goddard, Heppel, Dempsey, Eski, Hargrave, Clarke (Ellis, Darley)
Mids: GAJ, Pendles, Boyd, Watson, Cotchin, Magner (McDonald, Zorko)
Ruck: Sandi, Giles (Big O, Pattinson)
Forward: Buddy, Sidebum, Danger, Chappy, Roughy, Zaha, Treloar, (Sexton, D.Smith)
11 trades, 205K Bank
Was going
Magner -> Priddis (finish mids+donut aversion)
Eski/Clarke?? -> S. Shaw (cash grab+donut aversion)
3rd trade?
Sandi -> Nic Nat (or wait a week or two and grab ryder, griffen, mummy, mcevoy.....)
Zaha - Tex (donut aversion)
Eski - Adcock (donut aversion)
but just wondering if im to low on trades to think about trading eski or zaha and may have to hold them both and hope for the best until finals

With 11 trades you are still reasonably placed.
Magner to Priddis will be a popular trade this week. (I will definitely be doing this one as well) and finishes mids as you say
Go with gut on Eski or Clarke to Shaw. Probably a toss of the coin especially with Malceski being given wake up call.
Sandi being out for 10 weeks would go straight to Nat but again go with gut if you consider your other options will score better than Nat.
Walker trade worth considering considering Crows draw but will he and Tippett be fighting each week for the points as has been the case.
If you do 3 trades leaves you 8 with only one upgrade rqeuired in forwards. Set for finals well done.
Yeah would have to agree Ringo that Magner to Priddis could be popular this week.
I am seriously considering it also but I also have other concerns with Sandi going down.
11 trades, $322K
Very disappointed in losing Pendles, Horsley, Shaw, Sandi, Malceski (Sub).
Now what to do. Had planned a Ellis or Morris to Shaw and Magner to Priddis or other premium upgrade
but with Sandi going down it throws a spanner in the works. Reckon Redden and Oren will be dropped this week.
Have to make trades but also keep in mind next week. Only going for league now but should I get in Maric this week? Or hold and cop donut if Redden and Oren don't play.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
B: Godd, Lids, Shaw, Malceski, Lake, Clarke, Morris (Ellis, Darley)
M:Ablett, Pendles, Boyd, Thompson, Dal Santo, Horsley (Sexton, Magner)
R: Sandi, Giles (Oren, Redden)
F: Beams, Sidey, Franklin, Martin, Harvey, Dangerfield, Treloar (Pieffer, Zorko)
thankx guys, i think ill go with clarke to shaw and sandi to nic nat plus the priddis trade, leaves me 8 trades, 250K and two on field rookies (excluding Giles) so should be able to upgrade those and have 5-6 trades left for the finals

You could look at Sandi to Nic Nat as an alternative to Maric and a bit cheaper if desired. Maric has bye next week so you would be relying on Stepho or Reddan in Round 13. So go with gut whether you want him this week or in Round 14 if wanting him in preference to Nat.
Definitely do the other 2 Trades though Magner to Priddis and Ellis/Morris to Shaw.
If all three are done will leave you 8 trades with 2 upgrades required so good position.
Hey guys, need some expert advice. I was traveling along ok in my league but starting to slip away a bit. The usual injuries plus trading in Clancee!
My team-
Def- Lids, Gods, Shaw, Scotland, Adcock, Lake, Ellis, ( Darley, Townsend)
Mids- Pendles, GAJ, Thompson, Jellwood, Priddis, Horsely (Adams, Neale)
Rucks- Cox + 3RR combo we all have.
Fwds- Buddy, Danger, Pav, Martin >:(, Pearce :'( Treleor, Zorko ( Cameron, Smedts)
$17,600, 13 trades.
I've been trying to be conservative with my trades, but need to strengthen my team soon. I was going to go Scotland to Sam Shaw this week, with Horsley to Taylor Walker ( via DPP), then Ellis to Johnson next week. But with Scotland maybe playing I'm thinking Ellis to shaw, but doesn't leave me enough for the Horsely/ Walker trade. I would have to trade out Treleor instead maybe a week early to get Walker. Is it worth it?
I'm also worried ( with good cause!) that I'm missing out on the true guns, just when they come into consideration they smash out another huge score and I can't afford them! ( Beams, Swan, etc). Should I hang out for more cash to gain premiums or not. Don't want to get left behind in my league. ( sitting 6th in a tough league)
Anyway, what do you fellas think about my ideas? Any betters ones out there, put 'em on the table!
Hi Ringo and other veterans,
I would appreciate some advice for round 12 and 13.
My team for round 12 is:
Godd, Birchall, Morris, Ellis, S Shaw, M Clarke, Dempsey, J Grimes, Golds.
Deledio, Ablett, NDS, Danger, D Pearce, Hampton, Stanton, Jelwood
Giles, Jacobs, J Redden, Stephenson
Buddy, Roughead, Treloar, Pfieffer, Dickson, A Hall, Zorko, Stevie J, Zaharakis
I have $404k and 12 trades. (well 11 trades after Spurr --> S.Shaw) which I have already done.
Minimum of 2 donuts on the field if all get selected this week.
I know next week (round 13) I'll have more donuts but I have an easier round.
Should I use my spare 2 trades this week to get in 2 more round 11 bye DEFENDERS to help with the next 2 weeks?
Or do I wait till next week and get H.Shaw?
Maybe I should get Carazzo this week if named and cop the donut in round 13?
Obviously after the byes Deledio goes DEF and Danger goes FWD.
I don't think I can fit Priddis in the mids, so Ill probably end up getting Beams or Sidebum for Zaharakis after the bye.
Any advice on any aspect of my team would be much appreciated.
I'm a 2nd year SC player and have enjoyed reading your advice to other members of FF.
Thanks,
Mick.

I would look at upgrading Clarke to a Round 11 Defender either Hurn or Adcock if suits you. (Clarke imo has readhed his ceiling)
I would also be tempted but up to you to trade Zaha to Priddis or Scott Thompson no need to keep Danger in Mids..
Only one donut if all play and should have nice cash dependent on whether you go Priddis or Thompson.
Next week look at more upgrades/downgrades Hall, Pfeiffer should figure as well as Dickson in fiorwads or Ellis Morris in backs. Would be good to get rid of Golds but probably stuck with him..
After byes would look at cashing in one of Reddan or Stephenson to a $94k rookie ruck with dpp eg Pattinson. Does not need to play but gives you additional cash for final onslaught and giving you the option of moving Roughie into Rucks if something happens to Giles or Jacobs.

Looking at your team I only see 2 donuts this week so maybe a week of no trading and a slight donut feast. Sound harsh but there are no suitable downgrade targets apart from Shaw this week to give you cash. Do the Ellis to Shaw trade if need be to get some cash to assist next week. Horse may have played and increased in value as he was only rested.
Would even sit if Scotland not named as it would cost more to bring another prem back in in a couple of weeks.
Need to upgrade/downgrade Horse, Adams, Cameron and Smedts to complete Team and this is quite possible with 12 trades left.
I ended up holding onto my trades last week and it payed off. I won my league game and I am still sitting first (dropped to 2nd in overall points but it is about wins).
I have 16 trades and $56,900 in cash
Goddard, Newman, Grimes, Dempsey, Clarke, Scotland, Spurr, Lake, Bugg
Ablett, Hayes, Jack, Pendlebury, Rockliff, Horsley, McDonald, Taylor Adams
Kreuzer, Redden, Giles, Jacobs
Franklin, Chapman, Martin, O'Keefe, Saad, Waite, Dangerfield, Treloar, Dev Smith
My team is looking good this week. Scotland could be back which is great news. The moves I am looking at making.
Clarke>Sam Shaw
Waite>Priddis moving Adams forward
Dev Smith> ??
Do these moves look ok? I need a downgrade target for Dev Smith this week.
The Priddis trade will pretty much sure up my mids. I will look at bringing in Deledio for Bugg after the bye since he should drop in price. Sidebottom needs to come into my forward line after the byes as well.

maybe get zorko in.. hes not a big cash maker now that hes had a few price increases, but he will be good bench coverage for the rest of the year.. how long is waite out for?, it may be worth keeping him .. all'n'all pretty decent team considering u have that many trades left.. oh and u may need to look into getting franklin in aswell at some point

They have said at least another fortnight for Waite and he will have to go through the VFL since he can not run and has lost all his fitness. It looks a lot better then the 6 weeks Ratten said he would miss last week but if they have no idea what is wrong with him it is not a good sign. Zorko could be an option. He has been scoring well and I still make 60k trading Smith to him. I already have Buddy in my team.

oh sorry u do too... well with waite then maybe its worth moving him on, the waite-priddis trade is a good move. certainly will help for the the rest of the byes..
also dont expect to many more games from mcdonald,, probably wont be good bench cover.

I am hoping to get a bit more cash from McDonald before offloading him. I could almost do a straight swap for one of Mundy, Ziebell, Boomer Harvey or Moloney in a couple of weeks who will be my bench midfield option if there are no good downgrade targets.

fair enough sounds like a plan :) if u do trade him to a semi-premium EMG.cover, try to get a DPP.

Treloar is looking like a keeper in terms of bench cover. I could use McDonald to upgrade my forwards in a couple of weeks. He could be the player I trade out for Sidebottom and I move Treloar into the mids as bench cover as well. I just see more cash still coming from McDonald hence the reason I will keep him at this point in time.

Hey guys, need some expert advice. I was traveling along ok in my league but starting to slip away a bit. The usual injuries plus trading in Clancee!
My team-
Def- Lids, Gods, Shaw, Scotland, Adcock, Lake, Ellis, ( Darley, Townsend)
Mids- Pendles, GAJ, Thompson, Jellwood, Priddis, Horsely (Adams, Neale)
Rucks- Cox + 3RR combo we all have.
Fwds- Buddy, Danger, Pav, Martin >:(, Pearce :'( Treleor, Zorko ( Cameron, Smedts)
$17,600, 13 trades.
I've been trying to be conservative with my trades, but need to strengthen my team soon. I was going to go Scotland to Sam Shaw this week, with Horsley to Taylor Walker ( via DPP), then Ellis to Johnson next week. But with Scotland maybe playing I'm thinking Ellis to shaw, but doesn't leave me enough for the Horsely/ Walker trade. I would have to trade out Treleor instead maybe a week early to get Walker. Is it worth it?
I'm also worried ( with good cause!) that I'm missing out on the true guns, just when they come into consideration they smash out another huge score and I can't afford them! ( Beams, Swan, etc). Should I hang out for more cash to gain premiums or not. Don't want to get left behind in my league. ( sitting 6th in a tough league)
Anyway, what do you fellas think about my ideas? Any betters ones out there, put 'em on the table!
Looking at your team I only see 2 donuts this week so maybe a week of no trading and a slight donut feast. Sound harsh but there are no suitable downgrade targets apart from Shaw this week to give you cash. Do the Ellis to Shaw trade if need be to get some cash to assist next week. Horse may have played and increased in value as he was only rested.
Would even sit if Scotland not named as it would cost more to bring another prem back in in a couple of weeks.
Need to upgrade/downgrade Horse, Adams, Cameron and Smedts to complete Team and this is quite possible with 12 trades left.
Thanks for your advice mate. What do you think about Walker? I know he's a kpp, but is going well and Adelaide have a tasty run home. His BE is only 31 and averaging 110 in his last 5 games. I think I need to get him now, but do you think It's too early to unload Treloar? BE of 27, I suppose I could wait another week and hope he has a blinder and Walker doesn't. Think I'm going to go Ellis to shaw though, as def rooks are hard to come by.
A couple of questions guys.
1. Should I trade Spurr or Clarke out for Jed Adcock.
2. Should I trade the other one of Clarke and Spurr to Sam Shaw or save my trades (9 trades if I do this downgrade)
3. Should I make Nic-Nat or Priddis VC
Thanks Fellas

Interesting decision on Walker Is it worth waiting a week and hope Treloar gains significant cash more than Walker whose B/e is 44. I think this one could be a toss of coin but go with your gut feeling whether to get Walker this week/

Hi Ringo and other veterans,
I would appreciate some advice for round 12 and 13.
My team for round 12 is:
Godd, Birchall, Morris, Ellis, S Shaw, M Clarke, Dempsey, J Grimes, Golds.
Deledio, Ablett, NDS, Danger, D Pearce, Hampton, Stanton, Jelwood
Giles, Jacobs, J Redden, Stephenson
Buddy, Roughead, Treloar, Pfieffer, Dickson, A Hall, Zorko, Stevie J, Zaharakis
I have $404k and 12 trades. (well 11 trades after Spurr --> S.Shaw) which I have already done.
Minimum of 2 donuts on the field if all get selected this week.
I know next week (round 13) I'll have more donuts but I have an easier round.
Should I use my spare 2 trades this week to get in 2 more round 11 bye DEFENDERS to help with the next 2 weeks?
Or do I wait till next week and get H.Shaw?
Maybe I should get Carazzo this week if named and cop the donut in round 13?
Obviously after the byes Deledio goes DEF and Danger goes FWD.
I don't think I can fit Priddis in the mids, so Ill probably end up getting Beams or Sidebum for Zaharakis after the bye.
Any advice on any aspect of my team would be much appreciated.
I'm a 2nd year SC player and have enjoyed reading your advice to other members of FF.
Thanks,
Mick.
I would look at upgrading Clarke to a Round 11 Defender either Hurn or Adcock if suits you. (Clarke imo has readhed his ceiling)
I would also be tempted but up to you to trade Zaha to Priddis or Scott Thompson no need to keep Danger in Mids..
Only one donut if all play and should have nice cash dependent on whether you go Priddis or Thompson.
Next week look at more upgrades/downgrades Hall, Pfeiffer should figure as well as Dickson in fiorwads or Ellis Morris in backs. Would be good to get rid of Golds but probably stuck with him..
After byes would look at cashing in one of Reddan or Stephenson to a $94k rookie ruck with dpp eg Pattinson. Does not need to play but gives you additional cash for final onslaught and giving you the option of moving Roughie into Rucks if something happens to Giles or Jacobs.
Thanks heaps Ringo. All taken on board. Ive gone Clarke --> Adcock. Still deciding on Zaha trade --> Pridds, Thomo or even Walker in Fwd.
Next week will probably trade out both Ellis and Morris. And also cash in Stephenson the following week.
Thanks again. If i can work out how to cheer you I will.
I have some free time on my hands now if anyone would like some advice. :)
Fire away with any queries or questions.

I've always though Tom Ledger was a great young player since last season's nab cup. However Watters just doesn't seem to play him, so i'd avoid him until he gets consistent games.
Too late, had him since round 1, he's stinking up the pine!
Reckon i'll take a punt, and trade him for Gibson this week to avoid one of many donuts in Round 12/13.

Good move. I personally am also bringing in Gibson for Magner this week.
I asked this yesterday, I am looking at downgrading Dev Smith. Are there any good options other then Zorko who has already gone up in price? I have been struggling to find one

Well a bit of a unique rookie (due to his high price) is Aaron Black. At $178,900 he has scored at 85 and 41 in his two games in round 9 (Vs Brisbane) and 10 (Vs Hawthorn). He has been in the system for a few years and did manage to crack one game last season. He is highly touted among North Melbourne and at 192cm is a KPP forward.

theres a guy from north (cant remember his name),, but i would still get zorko, he will be good bench cover for the rest of the year

I was looking at him as well. He is the one that stands out with his scores. Corzier is the other one but he has the bye. What worries me with Black is the fact he is a KPP. Young talls normally stuggle early in their careers and KPP are very streaky in terms of SC.

Black is the guy from North. For the extra 70k I think it might be worth getting Zorko unless a new rookie is named tonight that looks to be a good option. I am still making cash regardless getting rid of Dev Smith.
Side not, I am not considering Patton a good option.

Totally agree with you on the KPP point there Mat. The one thing that is in favour of this KPP though is he is 22 years old so is far more matured. Plus at this stage of the year will he be bench cover for you or a starter? if he is bench cover then so long as he is playing then that should be fine, especially since KPP's do not very often play as the starting sub.

I will need him to start on the field over the next couple of weeks but he will be nothing but bench coverage after that. My forward line is the last one I am looking at finishing off.
At the moment it looks like this
Dangerfield, Franklin, Chapman, Martin, O'Keefe, Saad, Waite, Treloar, Dev Smith.
I have Taylor Adams in my mids. The three trades I was looking at doing were Marty Clarke>Sam Shaw Waite>Priddis shifting Adams forward Dev Smith>??
Leaving me with this forward line for next weeks bye Danger, Buddy, Chappy, Martin, O'Keefe, Treloar, Saad, Adams, ??
I had 16 trades at the start of the round and will have 10 at the end of the byes. Zorko and Treloar look like they could both be keepers in terms of bench coverage with the scores they have been putting up and DPP flexibility.
I am tempted to hold Waite since he could come in after the bye but Ratten said he would have to come through the VFL first which makes him look like the logical option to trade.

Yeah Waite's had another bad run with injury and it does make sense to trade him after Ratten said they are unsure how long he is out for. Zorko has a far greater potential scoring wise than Black and has less chance of being dropped. That being said it will cost you another 71k to get Zorko, but if your willing to do that you will have a far more solid DPP rookie to cover your players.

The fact they can't diagnose what is wrong with Waites back is what worries me.
I think these are my two options, Clarke>Shaw Waite>Priddis Dev Smith>Zorko/Black
Clarke>Shaw Horsley>Priddis Smith>Zorko/Black
I keep my mid DPP by trading Horse and holding Waite until after his bye or I lose my DPP and trade out Waite.
I am going to make cash anyway on the Smith trade so I think Zorko is the safe option in terms of JS and scoring potential.

I agree Zorko the safe bet. In my opinion the Waite trade seems best as you said they haven't been able to diagnose it yet.

The other thing I am thinking is that Horsley will drop in price if he plays this week where Waite will stay the same price. Holding Waite will have more to do with money management as well. I can trade him to Sidebottom after the bye if there is no news. I am just trying to find a way to get the most out of the cash I can get.
Sorry guys I know you gotta do your teams now but a quick combo question trading out Giles and Marty Clarke. I know some of you will go Giles you flower but I would like another 10/20 points out of my second ruckman
1. Michael Johnson and Todd Goldstein
2. Beau Waters and 1 of Jacobs/Minson/Griffen (Please tell me who if you like this option)
3. Adcock and any Ruckman
4. Keep Giles and any Defender (Please Specify again)
Backs follow: Lids, Goddard, ???, Lake, Darley, Bootsma, Broughton (H.Shaw, Spurr
Rucks follow: Nic-Nat, ??? (Redden, Giles
Thanks Fellas great Thread
Can you afford MJ and Jacobs rather than Goldstein as that combo would be my preference/
Options 1 & 2 mean donuts this week anyway,
Need to decide what is best for final team structure and whether now is time to do or wait and wear donuts this week.
Ringo I got 2 donuts so far so don't care as long as I get under 3 donuts.
opponent and i have hall this week and with gold coast having their bye next week should i jump the gun and trade hall to patton? this gets rid of a donut this week and next and allows me to do a double upgrade next week. like last time hall was omitted he is yet again not even listed as an emergency so who knows when he'll play again?
cheers!

In that case I would sit and ponder which is the better option of 1 & 2 for your team and team balance. Waters and Johnson imo may average the same with Adcock probably 10/15 points per game behind.
Trust that helps.
Have you also considered holding Clarke until Carazzo or Scotland bottom out maybe a straight swap.

If your double upgrade finalises team then do. Patton is a bit exy for a rook though but will probably give good cover for rest of year. Do you have a mid/dpp rook that you can trade Hall via to Gibson for more cash.

Do you have Zorko or Treloar in your forward line- You can then trade a mid rook to a forward via Zorks/Treloar. That is what I intend doing with McDonald when he peaks. McDonald hopefully will become Beams/Chapman or Stevie J to complete forward line in a couple of weeks. Leaves me with a mid bench of Zorko/Treloarand Sexton (who will probably become Gibson)

Yeah would have to agree Ringo that Magner to Priddis could be popular this week.
I am seriously considering it also but I also have other concerns with Sandi going down.
11 trades, $322K
Very disappointed in losing Pendles, Horsley, Shaw, Sandi, Malceski (Sub).
Now what to do. Had planned a Ellis or Morris to Shaw and Magner to Priddis or other premium upgrade
but with Sandi going down it throws a spanner in the works. Reckon Redden and Oren will be dropped this week.
Have to make trades but also keep in mind next week. Only going for league now but should I get in Maric this week? Or hold and cop donut if Redden and Oren don't play.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
G'day Ringo,
Sadly I didn't fully take your advice and missed out on Nic Nat. Just did the Magner to Priddis trade so far.
Thinking with Giles out I should just bite the bullet and go Morris (inj) to Shaw and Sandi to Maric.
Then after next week hopefully will have enough cash to go Ellis to Carazzo (after bye).
What do you think?
Was gonna wait to get Maric but with Giles out and Redden a possible late out I should I get him this week against GWS?

Thinking with Giles out I should just bite the bullet and go Morris (inj) to Shaw and Sandi to Maric.
Then after next week hopefully will have enough cash to go Ellis to Carazzo (after bye).
What do you think?
Was gonna wait to get Maric but with Giles out and Redden a possible late out I should I get him this week against GWS?
B: Godd, Lids, Shaw, Malceski, Lake, Clarke, Morris (Ellis, Darley)
M:Ablett, Pendles, Boyd, Thompson, Dal Santo, Horsley (Sexton, Magner)
R: Sandi, Giles (Oren, Redden)
F: Beams, Sidey, Franklin, Martin, Harvey, Dangerfield, Treloar (Pieffer, Zorko)
I would hold the Giles trade and wear a donut. Maric has an extremely high B/e this week with the bye next week so you would be paying virtual top dollar for him. I would still be tempted to do Giles to Nat next week if it suits your team given that he is projected still to be 40k cheaper than Maric and with a low B/e so Round 14 both may be around the same price.
Wait till Carazzo bottoms out as well before trading in has a projected B/e of 157 so will fall again most likely in first game after bye. Both Him and Scotland are on my radar to fill last back position.
My simple question Im debating for the next 2 hours as I think others will be.
Who to Captain? Ablett vs Deledio.
My main opponent usually has Ablett, who knows what Abletts role will be week to week but should go good, but Lids could go crazy as well. Im unsure! Wish i had of VC Cox!

Well it depends if you want to be safe go for Ablett. But i'm currently tossing up between Goldy and Deledio. Mainly because rucks score very highly against GC and the fact that Deledio scored 160 coming off a hamstring injury against GWS pre-season.

What do the coaches think? Not about risk I dont think, both are as risky as each other I would think!

Well Ablett is a lot safer, as most usually go for him as captain so if he's scorings down most will cop that. Whereas if you go Deledio and his scoring is down less people will go down with you. Anyway this week i'd say Deledio is the right way to go. However Ablett as we know is a freak and is capable of 150+ against anyone.
Thanks mate, I had it on Ablett, but my gut is saying Deledio. Plenty of SC points to go round, and tiggers need to prove a point. Fingers crossed!!!

No worries. :)
I'm also going Deledio with Goldy vice. Here's hoping he dominates. :)
The only thing that worries me with Lids of Ablett is Gaz does not usually have 2 bad games in a row. Has only occurred once in the last 4 years. However in saying that Lids is also coming of a shocker last week. So basically as you have done gone with gut with Lids to out score Gazz.
G'day Coaches (Specifically Ringo),
I have Tommy Rockliff in my team, I am so confused why Voss plays him up forward 2 quarters, gets 5 touches. He then chucks him in the mids finally and he gets 20+ in this quarter. Although he is a gun, should he be traded out because he is playing up forward to much??

Good evening dog
Do not really understand either what Voss is doing with Rockliff. Thought with Black out he would spend more time in the mid field but even against West Coast he spent time forward as well. Maybe Voss is trying to drag his tagger forward as he is getting a tag sometimes but can not be certain. Zorko may need to be tagged freeing him!!! Any he is still averaging over 100 so if you are short of trades keep him as it may be a luxury sideways trade. (I do have him). Brisbane's draw gets a little easier as well.
I agree that the way Voss is using Rockliff is frustrating me. When he went into the middle at the start of the 3rd he racked up the touches.
Need an opinion on this one guys.
I have 9 trades left and this week I am culling Treloar --> S Gibson.
I have also been considering doing the J McDonald --> J Watson trade but with McDonalds B/E @ 53 (playing his old team this week) is it worth holding off a week with the Jobe trade?
Jobe averages 79 against the Dockers from 7 outings and he also averages 79 @ Pattersons Stadium.
I have got $290k in the kitty (after the Treloar downgrade) and I have the exact $$$ to do it this week.
If McDonald spuds it up and Watson turns it on I will miss out on him next week because Watson B/E is 80.
If McDonald turns it on and Watson spuds it up I can then wait a week or 2 and generate some extra $$$ from doing this trade.
I am in a really good position in both my leagues, top 4 in both.
My team is;
Goddard, Deledio, Scotland, Burgoyne, Broughton, H Shaw, Ellis (Darley, S Shaw)
Ablett, Jelwood, Pendlebury, Priddis, Shiel, McDonald (Sexton, Treloar)
Cox, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
Franklin, Sidebottom, Beams, Pavlich, J Lewis, Martin, Porplyzia (Zorko, Saad)
To complete my team I want to pick up Watson & Swan in midfield and Carrazzo in my back line.
What plan off attack would you seasoned coaches take?
Obviusly do the Treloar downgrade this week.
If neither McDonald or Shiels are named then do the Watson upgrade but if both named just hold till next week as both will more than likely get their B/e.
Not sure of Sums but these trades to finish teams
Treloar > Gibson
McDonald/Shiel > Watson
McDonald/Shiel > Swan
Ellis>Carazzo.
You will probably have to get cash from a downgrade as well maybe one of Rucks
Hey guys, just need an opinion...looking to pretty much finalize my team
Backs: God, Lids, Heppel, Dempsey, Eski, Hargrave, S.Shaw, (Darley, Ellis)
Mids: GAJ, Pendles, Boyd, Watson, Cotchin, Priddis, (McDonald, Zorko)
Ruck: NicNat, Giles, (Big O, Pattinson)
Fwd: Buddy, Sidebum, Danger, Chappy, Zaha, Roughy, Treloar, (Sexton, D.Smith)
8 trades left....252K in bank
Was thinking Smith -> Crozier (Keep DPP link, cash grab)
Ellis -> Waters
Treloar -> Tex Walker (Maybe a better option available? Had 512K after the first two trades)
Obviously could change when teams are named (If couch is named....and so on) Zorko and JMaC to cover Pendles and Zaha till they are back on the park....what do we think? Later down the track might spend a trade in upgrading one of Hargrave and Eski to Carrots aswell

Like the Team
1st 2 trades OK
I would possibly prefer Cloke to Walker but much of a muchness and your decision.
Leaves you 5 trades one of which will be needed for a back upgrade.
thankx Ringo, it does leave me a little short for that last upgrade, would better options maybe be suckling/adcock down back and maybe Dusty up forward to hit form with an easier run home?

Yeah I will cull Saad as well when the time is right.
I will probably sit with Redden and Big O on bench, I am hoping to have 3 trades left after finalising my team, if all goes well in finals and no injuries, I might do an exotic upgrade/downgrade just to improve my chances in final.
Are Porps and Zorko adequate F7s? I am looking at rotating them, horses for courses style.
So this week I'm trying to negotiate the last round of the bye and start to complete my team.
My team is:
Backs: Deledio, Goddard, H. Shaw, S.Shaw, Clarke, Darley, Guthrie (Scotland, Birchall)
Centres: Pendles, Thompson, D. Thomas, S. Selwood, D. Zorko, M. Williams (G. Ablett, S. Mitchell)
Rucks: Cox, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
Forwards: Sidebottom, Beams, Dangerfield, Walker, Treloar, Adams, Pfieffer (Franklin, Martin)
Cash $201,600
Trades: 9
So this week I am facing 4 - 5 donuts (depending on H. Shaw) providing everyone else plays. 3 (or 4) are unavoidable as they are premiums and trading them is a waste, but the other one, Pfieffer I can. In regards to completing my team, I think that I need one more premium forward and one more premium defender (using S. Shaw/Clarke for d7). So this week I am thinking:
Pfieffer to either Tippett or Chapman
Treloar or Adams to Elliott
Tippett is much cheaper and has a great run home, and averages only 4.3 less than Chapman, but Chapman is a part time mid. In relation to Treloar or Adams I'm not worrying about the B/E because I think I'm going to keep whoever I don't trade as a back up and a dpp link to Zorko in the mids. Treloar will make me more cash to use to upgrade Darley or Guthrie later (the other will probably be downgraded if there is a decent rookie) and he may be in line for a rest after last week, but before that he was averaging 80, and theoretically he's had his really bad score, where as Adams hasn't (I don't think).
Which options do you think are best?

If you want my opinion I would only cull Treloar this week, Treloar to Maybe Pavlich, you already have 2 crows in your forward line, i'd steer away from Tippett. More often than not Pav is in the top 3 or 4 scorers for Freo. Last game he honestly deserved a 130+ score but CD rankings are a mystery sometimes.
If you want to avoid an extra donut I would trade Pfeiffer to Gibson this week, you will lose your MPP status but you will make some extra $$ for other upgrades to finalise team

Prefer Zorks to Porps as F7 but good to have Porps as back up.

This will loose your DPP to mids but imo no worries with your team but up to you
I would Switch Zorko and Pfeiffer (Zorko will give you much more benefit as a forawrd rather than mid)
Then Pfeiffer to Gibson
Whoever is not named out of Treloar or Adams to Chapman, Johnson, Goodes (if named) or other forward of your choice. Then final upgrade in backs Guthrie or Clarke to Carrotts in 2/3 weeks time when he bottoms out.
You can restore your mid DPP by trading either Williams or Gibson to a forward via Adams if required down the track but imo Leaves you 4 trades for LTI's and finals.
Helped me out heaps so far but now I am not sure what to do.
15 TRADES LEFT AND 65K IN BANK.
Backs:
God, lidz, broughton, lake, clarke, eski, darley
Spurr, Ellis
Mid"s:
GAJ, Pendles, Boyd, Jelwood, JPK, Macdonald
Miles, Zorkho
Rucks:
Kruezer, Giles
BIG O, Redden
Forwards:
Franklin, Chapman, Sidey, Chapman, Danger, Martin, Treloar
Couch, D.Smith
Going for league and will win this week but need to make some trades to get in an ideal position for second half.
Thinking kruezer > nic nat
or
Mac > Swan
or fix the backline by axing eski(want him to get to 400 k again before I do though)\clarke
What would you do. Dont want to trade for midpricers or for POD.
Thanks champ.

Firstly well done with trades left and a sound team. Unfortunately you are in a position where there are not a lot of downgrade options available to you but with 15 trades some sideways may have to occur later.
With winning this week you really do not have to trade, If however you want to build cash then I would suggest the following so long as these players are named.
Switch Zorko and Smith and go Devon Smith to Gibson.
Reddan/Stephenson to Tom Campbell. (Will be replacement for Minson and you really do not need 4th ruck after byes.)
Treloar to Haynes or Patton. (Patton expensive for a rook but good JS)
In round 15 I would look at Clarke/Ellis to Carazzo He should be at his lowest price and scoring well.
MacDonald has a very gettable B/e this week so he should fatten a little bit. Swan has a high B/e as well so should fall in value.
Your decision on these but with 15 trades left you need to get cash for final upgrades only need 4 to complete team. Malceki I would perservere with for a couple more rounds to see how he goes and he may become a keeper if regaining form.
Kreuzer to Nic Nat is Ok but would do this week before his price rises and hold on the Ruck Downgrade. Have you thought of keeping Kreuz and upgrading Giles.
Thanks mate got rid of both smith and treloar and got in nic nat for kreuzer becasue I will be getting in mumford for giles next and then upgrade ellis > carrots and clarke > birchall\waters\shaw depending on price.
Cheers
Am i on the right track.
heres the team
deledio, goddard, grimes, lake, clark, p.davis, ellis, yarran, s.shaw
JPK, rockliff, ssellwood, bartel, hayes, d.smith, c.smith, gibson
kreuser, giles, cordy, jenkins
n roo, buddy, danger, Stevie J, rioli, darling, treloar, zorko
with 244k and 10 trades
this week trade treloar to t couch ( just cash out may play may not, does not really mater)
d smith to m whiley (move goddard to mids)
675k with 8 trades
is there better options for couch and whiley they should be my d9 and f9
next week trade yarran to ablett ( goddard to backs)
275k with 7
rd15 ellis to carrazzo
deledio, goddard, grimes, lake, clark, p.davis, CARRAZZO, WHILEY, s.shaw
JPK, rockliff, ssellwood, bartel, hayes, ABLETT, c.smith, gibson
kreuser, giles, cordy, jenkins
n roo, buddy, danger, Stevie J, rioli, darling, COUCH, zorko
this will leave me with 6 trades
my back are really my only concern after i do this hopefully later on i can then upgrade davis
and darling is not ideal but with zorko and hopefully josh kennedy coming back soon, which i think helps jack a lot
any thoughts are greatly appreciated
this would all be so much easier if i was not to get ablett is he a must?
Looks ok
Treloar to Crozier would be better than Couch. At least Crozier is playing. Crozier also has DPP which will allow you later to upgrade C Smith for a forward if need be restoring a Forward Dpp link for finals.
IMO if you do not have Ablett or Pendles going into finals you will behind the eight ball. You are in a good position with 10 trades at the moment and all your trades are deigned to strengthen team which is good.
Right coaches, I need some advice.
I have 9 trades left and $320K in the bank.
My team is:
Goddard, Birchall, Broughton, Scotland, Lake, H.Shaw, Morris, Smedts, S.Shaw
Ablett, Pendles, Boyd, Dal Santo, Priddis, Deledio, Horsley, D.Smith
Natanui, Giles, Redden, Stephenson
Franklin, Dangerfield, Beams, Martin, Porplyzia, Zorko, Treloar, A.Kennedy, Hall
My plan is to move Smedts to my forward line in round 15, and then bring Carazzo in. I’ll probably bring Jordan Lewis/Goodes in the same weekend. I’ll get rid of Hall and one if the GWS boys to make room.
I’m wondering whether I should jump on Crozier or Gibson this week though as I’m not sure about possible downgrades later in the season. Horsley I think will score 70 â€" 80 most weeks so I’d quite like to keep him as bench cover, but the money I’d make by bringing Gibson in for him is appealing.
I think I’ll hang onto Treloar, but bringing Crozier in for Smith or Kennedy appeals too.
Trade, or just sit?
That was a really long post, sorry. Any advice would be appreciated.

i'll gather that you dont really care about donuts this week, so how about something like this; sell morris and move deledio into the backs and bring gibson into mid. and if you want to make more trades go kennedy to sidebum.. just alittle food for thought
Thanks for that. I had thought of leaving Morris on my bench as cover. Is he injured?
thanks for the advice ringo, i thought i was on the right track, Crozier Vs donut (couch) makes sence, to make me some money for that big upgrade going into the grand final to get me over the line. sometimes I justs think to hard that i confuse myself.
how am i looking? need some help not sure where to go from here?

Can afford any of the following:
M.Johnson - consistent 90's this year has a favourable run home with easy sides at Pattersons.
Pavlich - finding form after an up and down year and again has a good run home.
Tippett - can go big but has also produced some low scores.
Harvey - over the hill? Very risky.
Cloke - not the same player he was last year but will his form turn around.

Tippett - can go big but has also produced some low scores.
Harvey - over the hill? Very risky.
Cloke - not the same player he was last year but will his form turn around.
With 12 trades left would be tempted to do the double Smith to Crozier and Treloar to any forward of your choice Stevie J, Beames or Goodes for POD, Completes your forward line and 10 trades still to sort out defence.

9 trades left and $4100

To get cash for upgrades I wouuld switch Zorko and Treloar and then Treloar to Gibson, Zorko can cover F7.
Then Morris to Waters, Hurn, Heppell or Adcock. Leves 7 trades for further def upgrades and finals. As always your decision.

Like the option but a little worried about Croziers JS. Have already been burnt by Spurr.
My forward line would be Crozier and Hall as EMERG which I see as a risk.
Was going to use the next downgrade on Gibson from North (next week) but that will cost me my DPP with the forwards.
Out of the options I posted who do you like for an upgrade?

Forgot him and Broughton as well. Your choice. MJ has been scoring consistently playing loose man in defence which is Lyons match plan but if a forward tag applied will he still have same scoring. Just something to consider and fyi I traded him in 4 weeks ago

What other areas do ineed to focus on after this?
I need to decide on a few trades this week. I have 13 trades and $226,700
Goddard, Newman, Grimes, Dempsey, Sam Shaw, Scotland, Spurr, Lake, Bugg
Ablett, Hayes, Jack, Pendlebury, Rockliff, Priddis, McDonald, Taylor Adams
Giles, Jacobs, Kreuzer, Redden
Franklin, Chapman, Martin, O'Keefe, Saad, Waite, Dangerfield, Treloar, Zorko
I am looking to make 3 trades this week. I was thinking of these 3 trades
Treloar>Crozier (huge B/E)
Waite>Sidebottom
Kreuzer>Phillips (should play if Giles is out)
This will free up a ton of cash so in the next two weeks I can bring in Deledio and Carrazzo leaving my team looking like this
Deledio, Scotland, Goddard, Newman, Carrazzo, Grimes, Lake, Sam Shaw, Spurr
Ablett, Pendlebury, Rockliff, Priddis, Hayes, Jack, McDonald, Taylor Adams
Giles, Jacobs, Phillips, Redden
Franklin, Dangerfield, Sidebottom, Chapman, Martin, O'Keefe, Zorko, Crozier, Saad
I was hoping to keep Treloar in my team as I think he will be a decent scoring option. If I do trade out Kreuzer to Phillips I could wait a week and go McDonald>Gibson. Waite is also back at training and could be in the team soon.

I have enough for Walker over Tippett his scores are ok but have fluctuated a little like Tippetts.
I am thinking I may hold the trades this week with Treloar and Smith providing enough coverage even though they will lose money. Crozier a little risky JS wise. My plan is to get Gibson next week if all goes to plan. Then I will have around $400k to play around with a forward upgrade before looking at the backs.

[/quote] If holding something else to consider and maybe from left field for you considering you still have a number of trades:
Stehenson/Reddan to Pattinson and Treloar/Smith to Roughead giving you additional ruck coverage if need be. And still 10 trades to sort out defence and a further forward upgrade if you do not like Zorko at F7.
Lol I have had Roughie on the watchlist for quite some time. Like his form and returning from the BYE could have a massive impact for the remainder of the season as well as great POD.
I think I will hold this week for the benefit of future trades. By the way I have made a post regarding player price drops. Do you have a good handle on reading the players values/BE's. I want to know how much Treloar and Smith.D may decrease by this week?
Treloar - $346,100 (BE 132)
Smith.D - $292,500 (BE 102)

Another option to consider and your decision as you are well placed with 13 trades.
Kreuzer to Pattinson
Waite to Roughead (giving you additional Ruck coverage if needed)
McDonald to Crozier would also restore a DPP to forwards which may be handy, Especially if you upgrade Treloar to another Prem forward gives you the option of rotating Zorko between mids and forwards when needed
hey ringo waters or mj? really dont know which one
Taylor Adams is a DPP so I still have that mid rotation. I really want to try and get Sidebottom in. He is probably the most consistent forward at the moment. I am just thinking would I be better off waiting the week to get Gibson or should I get Crozier this week
I also think McDonald will kill it this week playing against Melbourne so I would wait another week at least before trading him out.

Sorry one set of my records has Adams as mid only but definitely DPP.
Crozier would depend on whether you want to maximise cash. Treloar will loose cash this week whereas Crozier will increase so if you need to maximise do the trade but if not hold.
So I could do this,
Waite>Sidebottom
Kreuz>Phillips
This leaves me with $337,300
Next week
McDonald to Gibson and Bugg to Deledio.
Week after
Dempsey to Carrazzo
Would be tempted to go Kreuz to Campbell though now that Phillips is not playing but your choice.

I figure that if Giles is out Phillips will get a game so it is more of a security blanket. I don't think that Campbells job security will be any good past this week with Minson out suspended.

ok no worries
Some of the results on the weekend have me a little concerned and would like some advice
My team is:
Backs: Scotland, Birchall, Deledio, Goddard, H. Shaw, Clarke, S. Shaw (Darley, Guthriel)
Centres: Ablett, Pendlebury, Mitchell, Thompson, D. Thomas, S. Selwood (D. Zorko, M. Williams)
Rucks: Cox, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
Forwards: Franklin, Chapman, Sidebottom, Beams, Dangerfield, Walker, Martin (Adams, Crozier)
Cash $168,000
Trades: 7
My initial plan had been to keep Giles and Clarke as d8 & r2 to conserve trades and focus on other areas of my team. With this I though that I would need another one (or two) downgrades to allow me to upgrade Guthrie to Carazzo and that would have left 4-5 trades for LTI & finals which I think would have been a good position.
However Giles and Clarke didn't have very good weekends which have me a little nervous about this plan. However in order to trade them and still upgrade Guthrie I think I would need at least an additional 2 trades meaning I would have at best 2-3 trades which is a little thinner than I would like.
The other conundrum I have is Gibson. I had before the weekend planned to downgrade Williams to Gibson, however Williams continues to impress and I think there will be others to make way for the couple of stars Collingwood have that will come back this year before him. Should I go for the downgrade anyway?
Any advice on what to do with my team?

ok firstly looks like a fair team and im guessing you just want to win your league..
what i would do is downgrade adams to a cheap(preferably a dpp) rookie and upgrade guthriel to carrazzo after next week to allow carrots to drop another 10-20k. (im not sure on adams/guthriel's price).
then just sit back and keep the remaining 5 trades for finals... ofcourse if you are struggling to make the top 8 you may have to trade some more..

Need an opinion on this one guys.
I have 9 trades left and this week I am culling Treloar --> S Gibson.
I have also been considering doing the J McDonald --> J Watson trade but with McDonalds B/E @ 53 (playing his old team this week) is it worth holding off a week with the Jobe trade?
Jobe averages 79 against the Dockers from 7 outings and he also averages 79 @ Pattersons Stadium.
I have got $290k in the kitty (after the Treloar downgrade) and I have the exact $$$ to do it this week.
If McDonald spuds it up and Watson turns it on I will miss out on him next week because Watson B/E is 80.
If McDonald turns it on and Watson spuds it up I can then wait a week or 2 and generate some extra $$$ from doing this trade.
I am in a really good position in both my leagues, top 4 in both.
My team is;
Goddard, Deledio, Scotland, Burgoyne, Broughton, H Shaw, Ellis (Darley, S Shaw)
Ablett, Jelwood, Pendlebury, Priddis, Shiel, McDonald (Sexton, Treloar)
Cox, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
Franklin, Sidebottom, Beams, Pavlich, J Lewis, Martin, Porplyzia (Zorko, Saad)
To complete my team I want to pick up Watson & Swan in midfield and Carrazzo in my back line.
What plan off attack would you seasoned coaches take?
I posted this last week & I just did the treloar > Gibson trade and pocketed $300k. Initially I wanted swan & Watson in my midfield but I am having second thoughts about swan in my team. 5 pie players in my team would be overkill IMO. Now I want to pull the trigger on the following trades this week, OUT: Giles, shiel IN: Maric, rockliff.
Next week Ellis & saad/McDonald to rookie & carrazzo.
Week after saad/McDonald & porplyzia to rookie & Watson.
Will leave me with 2 trades with $$ in the bank for finals.
Thoughts?
Would like to know ringos thoughts on rocky?

Rocky has been a bit of an enigma this year. (He is my team though). In a couple of the games at the Gabba he has started on the interchange bench and has spent time up forward. Is a gifted footballer and knows how to find it as we saw last week and he does his best work when in the mids and hopefully will remain in mids. With the emergence of Zorko and Banfield on the comeback trek in the reserves coupled with Green we now have the small forwards to lock the ball in the forward 50 which i think was the purpose of putting Rocky forward earlier in the season. Can also take a strong mark. Personally I am hoping he does what he did last year and averaged 126 for the last 11 games of the year. So I am saying he is not the worst for M4 or M5. However imo I would still get Swan over Rocky if it was me.
On your trading strategy 2 trades is probably a bit low so would reconsider some trades and just see if you can do straight upgrades. Trades in finals will be virtually sideways for restings or injuries so I would use the cash now to save trades.
I have way too many options:
Stephenson to Campbell, Clarke to Enright/Suckling
Stephenson to Campbell, Malceski to Carazzo
Stephenson to Campbell, Giles (as 2nd ruck) to Cox/Ryder
Mcdonald to a debutant/Couch this week, Giles to Maric
Mcdonald to a debutant/Couch this week, Clarke/Malceski to Waters
McDonald to a debutant/Couch, Clarke/Malceski to Carrazzo, Giles to Ryder/Roughead
McDonald to debutant/Couch, Clarke to Carrazzo, Malceski to Suckling
Redden to Campbell, Malceski to Carrazzo
Which one looks the best to you? I have 8 trades left.

The reason I have my eye on Rockliff is simply that he is most likely going to be one of Brisbanes best scorers week in week out. Now looking over his season thus far he has scored low a few times which will probably keep happening.
But I do hear you in regards to Swan. Each game he plays he is up there in the scoring, in top 3 at pies.

Lake is proven whereas Dempsey can be a little inconsistent so imo trade Dempsey.
Zaharakis MPP link downgrade to Gibson, Play Zorko as F7, Pfieffer on the bench.

Just a quick question fellas, Lake or Dempsey? Gonna axe one next week into carrots and the other will be D7
Quote from: Ringo on June 26, 2012, 10:05:17 PM
Lake is proven whereas Dempsey can be a little inconsistent so imo trade Dempsey.
This. I am doing the same thing next week.
So my team is looking like this
Goddard, Scotland, Newman, Lake, Grimes, Dempsey, Bugg, Sam Shaw, Spurr
Ablett, Rockliff, Jack, Hayes, Priddis, Treloar, McDonald, Pendlebury
Jacobs, Giles, Redden, Andrew Phillips
Franklin, Dangerfield, Sidebottom, Chapman, Martin, O'Keefe, Zorko, Saad, Taylor Adams
11 trades left $337,300
Plan is to this week trade McDonald>Gibson, Bugg>Deledio
Next week Dempsey>Carrazzo Redden>Campbell (pending on performance and if he holds his spot)
This will leave me with either 7 or 8 trades and a team looking like this
Treloar and Adams will rotate through my mids for coverage. I can then use any trades left to cover players if they get injured or I look to upgrade someone who does not perform well (Giles in a couple of weeks if he does not perform, players rested in SC finals)
Do these moves look ok? Is there something you can recommend?
I have been looking at another option and that is to make 5 trades over the next 3 weeks
McDonald>Gibson, Bugg>Deledio
Dempsey>Carrazzo
Redden>Pattison Saad>Roughead
Team will be
Deledio, Goddard, Scotland, Carrazzo, Newman, Lake, Grimes, Sam Shaw, Spurr
Ablett, Pendlebury, Rockliff, Jack, Hayes, Priddis, Treloar, Gibson
Jacobs, Roughead, Giles, Andrew Phillips
Franklin, Dangerfield, Sidebottom, Chapman, Martin, O'Keefe, Zorko, Taylor Adams, Pattison
This gives me extra coverage if players are rested through finals.
I am leaning more towards option 1 in the meantime just to conserve trades but 2 could work out in the long run
Hey guys
B: godd, Lids, shaw, lake, malceski, Clarke, Ellis (darley, s.shaw)
8 trades $224
Do I burn 3 trades over two weeks to get Scotland or waters and carazzo?
Or do I just use two and go Carazzo and suckling ths week
Cheers
ASSISTANCE PLEASE...not getting much love on another post. A large read by need some expert assistance!
Def: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw.H, Broughton, Lake, Ellis, Shaw.S (Townsend, Spurr)
Mid: Ablett, Selwood, Boyd, Priddis, Montagna, Smith.D (Pendlebury, Ledger)
Ruck: Naitanui, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
For: Franklin, Riewoldt.N, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, Martin, Zorko, Treloar (Adams, Hall)
$186,000 - 12 Trades
Option 1:
Smith.D - Gibson
Treloar â€" Pavlich
Option 2:
Smith.D - Gibson
Treloar â€" Beams
Option 3:
Ledger â€" Gibson (Fix Rookie Mistake)
Treloar â€" Pavlich
Pavlich looks the best fit for the forward upgrade at his price. His form is on the improve and the dockers have a fairly good run home. I can't see him missing games through rest as long as he stays fit.
Option 1 - gives me a good amount of money left over to make an addition upgrade in my backline next week (Carrazzo - Ellis). I can then look at the Ruck downgrade (Campbell - Redden/Stephenson) and possible upgrade (Stephenson/Redden - Cox/Maric/Ryder...) the following week or use this money for the final forward upgrade (Adams - Goodes).
Option 2 - allows me to fix a rookie mistake (Ledger) but I'm a little fearful Gibson also doesn't have great JS. I would have to settle for Pav as the upgrade but could look at Beams/Goodes down the track for the final upgrade.
Option 3 - fix the rookie mistake and bring in a premium in top form (Beams). Very expensive and wouldn't leave me with alot of bank money but more than if I complete option 2.
I guess my issue is do I have the trades to rectify a rookie mistake at the start of the year. Would you consider it or another option?

Option 2 will leave you 6 trades and imo a better structured team with good bench coverage via DPP. Providing Zorko maintains form you have the luxury of using him forward or mid. I would go down that track as you would have 6 trades left for injuries and form loss and finals.

Do you have to win League matches this week. If so just do the 2 but if not I would only do Clarke to Suckling this week and then assess next week or week after depending on requirements.

As I see your team you require 2 upgrades in Def, one in Mids and one in forward assuming Zorko at F7.
So can see 6 trades required to complete.
I would be looking at Reddan to Pattinson for cash - Highly unlikely he will play again this year.
Then Adams or Hall to Roughhead for added security in Rucks. Treloar imo should be kept to use as a floating DPP on bench in Forwards or mids but your decision.
Next week work on Defence upgrades.
Just something else to consider
Hey ringo,
Who would you get out of Waters, Suckling, Carazzo, Fisher, Taylor? Who would play well for the rest of the season?
Its outa Waters Suckling Carrots, i lean towards Carrots but all 3 would serve you well.
looking at grima what are your thoughts
even though I am a coach...would love your help Ringo and co.
my team is:
343.6k 6trades League ranking: 1
goddard deledio shaw broughtom scotland johnson s.shaw <darley ellis>
ablett pendlebury selwood boyd priddis shiel <gibson dsmith>
giles campbell <redden orren>
franklin sidebottom danger zaha cloke martin zorko <adams milera>
thinking of redden & shiel > mumford & NDS
thoughts?
IMO with only 6 trades left, taking the risk on Mummy is a concern. So many back problems and he was visibly suffering again last week. Your trades will be gold, hold!

After last nights game option 2 looks like it will be a good one right now.
Looking to do my last FWD upgrade guys. J. Cameron > Dusty Martin or Hurley?
Martin more reliable and Richmond has an easy run into finals, but Hurley is in some pretty good form and could score more now that Crameri's suspended for two. Hurley's also not in 31% of teams (unlike Martin).
What to do?

Hmmmmm
Well do you want unique or do you want common? Taking into account common will probably outscore unique...if going for overall then maybe go unique OR if you just want to win your league, just take Dusty and make up points else where :)
Hi coaches, some help with a bit of a pickle please!
The team:
D: Lids, God, Waters, Scotland, H.Shaw, Carrazzo, Hargrave (Spurr, S. Shaw)
M: GAJ, Pendles, Boyd, Selwood, Priddis, Thompson (Gibson, Zorko)
R: Cox, Giles (Stephenson, Campbell)
F: Buddy, Danger, Chappy, Sidey, Pav, Martin, Adams (Elliot, Murdoch)
2 trades left :(, $57,400, going for league.
The way I see it I have 1 fwd spot to fill and then I'm good for finals time in my league. Now, I was planning on keeping zorko as a good little fwd/mid link who can score good points too, and ditching adams plus another in an up/down, using the last two trades I have. Rely on DPP for cover if things go south with LTI. However the way things are going zorko could be a straight swap for Goodes in a week or two, I was thinking about Goodes for my F7 anyway. This has the advantage of giving me a little cash and saving me one lonely trade for an LTI later (which could otherwise screw me over).
Will Goodes get back to tearing it up or should I stay away? Any other decent options that might save me a trade (ie not an up/down, meaning a fwd ~500k)?
Cheers!
Buddy's Hamstring also concerning...
yeah that sounds better. How about J. Lewis? Another poster suggested it, same price as Dusty but a higher average and a POD, being in 6% of teams.

With only 2 trades left and unless you are in a position of needing to win I would hold these 2 trades. First aim is get into finals and if you can get there without using these trades do it and then make the most of them in finals.
Regarding Goodes I would wait and observe his form over the next couple of weeks as his price will continue to fall.

ok who is my "next defender"
can have anyone money not an issue, already have goddard, delidio, H Shaw, Dempsey, Lake, Howard, Conca, (S Shaw, Whiley).
Thinking Waters, Scotland, Carrazzo, but it can be anyone at all who will be the best?
really butchered my SC team this season, don't even ask, was ranked just outside top 1000 after round 13, slipped to about 3500 after last week.
this will be my last upgrade required tho with 2 trades left for LTI and if not used for 2 late season defender upgrades (2 of dempsey,lake,howard,conca)
mid, ruck, fwd lines all premiums on field and have good bench cover in fwds and mids, spuds on the ruck bench tho in big o and redden.
upgrading shaw or conca with this one.

Seems strange giving advice to you when you are ranked higher than me and in 2 leagues with you as well.
LTI's and a few bad trades have butchered me do niot mention Boomer and I could not get him out.
Anyway here goes.
Bit hard to say who will be the best for the next few weeks.
Waters has an average of 107 over last 5 games but will he stay on the park with his judiciary record
Scotland has not been impressive in recent weeks playing more of a lock down role and only averaging 100 for his last 5 games. Will this role continue is the question and can he get back up there. Cureent Price his lowest for the season and been declining steafily.
Carazzo was on fire prior to injury and has scored well in his 2 come back games taking out his 3 when injured his 5 game average is 112 which is why everyone will be jumping in this week. Question in my mind with Carlton struggling to stay in eight will he be given tagging roles effecting his scores.
If looking for a POD 2 players to have a look at are Shannon Huin who can be up and down and Pearce Hanley (bias I know) but if Brisbane continue to use him running down the wing and off the half back as they have done in the last 2 games may be worth a look. Can run and kick goals which we have also seen in the last 2 weeks and this increases SC scoring.
Stats say Carazzo but as we know they only provide some of the info. Go with your gut and keep climbing.
thanks Ringo, my prediction is you will run me down in the end :)
I'M LOST AS TO HOW BEST TO COMPLETE TEAM. Have 11 trades left and 270 k.
Backs: God, Lidz, Lake, Broughton, Malceski, Clarke, Ellis (Darley, Spurr)
Mids: GAJ, Pendles, Boyd, Selwood, JPK, JMAC (Gibson, Miles)
Rucks: Nic Nat, Mummy(Redden,Stephenson)
Forwards: Franklin, Martin,Chapman, Pavlich, Danger, Sidey, Zorkho (Patton, Couch)
Thinking this week Clarke > Carrotz and Redden > Campbell
Then following week malceski(if he still does not play) > Fischer and JMAC > Goodes leaving team like this with 7 trades left and hardly anything in the bank.
Backs: God, Lidz, Lake, Broughton, Fischer, Carrazzo, Ellis (Darley, Spurr)
Mids: GAJ, Pendles, Boyd, Selwood, JPK, Zorkho (Gibson, Miles)
Rucks: Nic Nat, Mummy(Campbell,Stephenson)
Forwards: Franklin, Martin,Chapman, Pavlich, Danger, Sidey, Goodes (Patton, Couch)
Obviously zorkho will be upgraded to Swan and so will Ellis to another defender hopefully leaving me with 5 trades. Going for league and sitting 2nd and in no danger imo of not making top 4.
Thanx bud for any suggestions you may have.

Names is bold for your team are the guys unlikely to play this week. :-\
This week I would have to say
Clarke-->Carrazzo
Malceski --> Fisher(/Hibberd/Yarran if low on cash)
This covers 2 major backline donuts.
The donut in your forward line is unavoidable if Buddy doesn't play, it would just be a waste of a trade.
Just hope Darley or Spurr get named.
Thanks Ringo,
I know half my side is out this week but I dont care about a loss. To finish it off wouldnt clarke > carrots , redden >campbell this week and jmac > malceski > fischer, jmac > goodes(swap with zorkho to bring in forwards) next week be a good move? Im looking at the best way to complete it.
Or go what you suggetsed by upgrading defense first and worry later?
You need to decide what is most important for you if it is finish team then look at that.
You need to work out a strategy with trades to finish teams You have 11 trades and there are only 5 rounds till finals. If you are well placed in leagues I would just concentrate on finishing team and avoiding donut.
The trades suggested already will virtually complete back line.
Clarke to Carazzo
Malceski to Birchall, Heppell, Suckling, Enright (basiaclly any prem up to $500k your choice0
9 trades left.
Next week Reddan to Campbell and J Mac to a playing ro0kie for cash.
7 trades left plus cash for Mid and def upgrade Zorkko is good enough for F7 at the moment.
Go with your gut and work the plan out as it suits you.
just a quick one. which one to trade to carrots. S.Shaw or Ellis the other will be my d8.
Quote from: blue on July 05, 2012, 07:59:26 PM

Ellis. He is more expensive.
That is all. JS is the same. Scoring output is the same.
6 Trades this is my situation. Red means not named. Current team follows
Backs: Deledio, Goddard, Waters, Shaw, Broughton, M.Johnson, Lake (Darley, Spur)
Midfielders: Ablett, J.Selwood, Rockliff, Priddis, Dal Santo, McDonald (Gibson, Pendles)
Rucks: Naitanui, Goldstein (Stephenson, Redden)
Forwards: Franklin, Sidebottom, Beams, Dangerfield, Rioli, Martin, Zorko (Adams, Crozier)
A couple of questions.
1. Who should I go captian with? I'm looking at Beams I reckon he is the best option but would love opinions
2. Which Trade option
a) Martin to Robinson/Bennell/Stevie J and Lake to Carazzo
b) Martin to Goodes/Harvey/Lewis and Lake to Birchall/Hanley
c) Martin to Robinson/Bennell/Stevie J and Darley to Yarran
d) Martin to Lewis/Cloke and Spurr to Yarran
e) Martin to any forward but Chapman
f) Don't Trade (Please note I probably still will)
I Personally like option A. I really want to get Martin out he has driven bonkers all year and was looking for an excuse to trade him and now there is one. Also I feel Carazzo or Birchall type player will score 20 more points than Lake most weeks so I feel Lake's time has come.
3. Should I start Old-Mac or Gibson?
Cheers guys great thread

Captain choice and my opinion is stick with Ablett. Although he had a downer last week playing his old team and at home do not think he will flower it this week. Beams may also get the Carrotts tag as well.
Would not trade Martin only out for 2 weeks and will come back with a point to prove and Richmond have a reasonable draw and finally looked decent last week..
Would be tempted though to do Spur to Yarran or Carazzo giving you good bench cover, With the exception of Crozier all your Bench players will be playing.
Toss of the coin between Gibson and Mac. North playing West Coast at home and GWS playing Hawks which may tip scales slightly in Gibsons favour.
Sorry to bother you again Ringo but have some new options. I have traded Redden to Campbell so I have 250k in the bank os my options now are.
1) Darley to Carrots. 30 leftover
2) Mcdonald to Judd/JPK/Stanton/Thompson (Please Specify which one if you like this option) Judd 110k leftover, JPK 40k, Stanton 65k, Thompson 35k
3) McDonald to Any Forward (Please Specify again)

Agreed. Although no love for Boyd?
With picking Thompson I would be wary of Adelaide resting players. They haven't ruled out doing it later in the season and given their ridiculously easy draw, it wouldn't surprise me. Saying that, if Adelaide drop a game or 2 before SC finals, I doubt they will as they will try to get a top 4 spot. Mind you the chance of players being rested is low, but it does happen (Chappy)
Boyd less chance of being rested with more money in the bank
I want to trade one of Dempsey, Grimes or Lake for Carrazzo. Grimes has been really disappointing the last couple of weeks (scores of 56 and 43), Dempsey has the injury question mark and Lake is a KPP. Lake is the most consistent out of those 3 so I think he is safe and it is more between Dempsey and Grimes.
My team looks like this (outs in red)
Deledio, Scotland, Newman, Lake, Grimes, Dempsey, Sam Shaw, Spurr, Goddard
Ablett(C), Rockliff, Jack(VC), Hayes, Priddis, Taylor Adams, Gibson (E), Pendles
Jacobs, Giles, Phillips(E), Redden
Franklin, Dangerfield, Sidebottom, Chapman, O'Keefe, Treloar, Zorko, Saad(E), Martin

very hard to split the three you are looking to off-load - am guessing you don't have enough dough to upgrade S Shaw or Spurr?? - because that is the optimal way to go imo ...
if you put a gun to my head i'd probably look to off-load them in this order ...
Lake, Grimes (but did you upgrade to him?? seems a bit of a waste, if you did upgrade you should hang in there), Dempsey - have to qualify by saying that I haven't been tracking Lake of late ...

I started the season with all 3. When Carrazzo made his return in round 12 I had Dempsey locked in. He was coming off a 49 in round 11 (bye in round 12) but since then has scored 85 and 99 in back to back weeks. Grimes had the bye round 12 as well but was coming off a 92 and 107 in rounds 10 and 11. He has since put up those score below 60. Lake has been the most consistent scoring in the 80s in his last 3 games.
I do have enough cash to offload Shaw however but that will leave me with a ton of cash on my bench with one of Dempsey, Lake or Grimes which I can use to upgrade another position next week (Roughy into the ruck).
I will have $118,400 and 8 trades left if I trade out Shaw or closer to 250,000 if I trade out one of the other 3.
Hey Ringo (and other Coaches) just your thoughts:
Option 1:
Ellis --> Scotland/Fisher
T. Adams --> Rookie
Newman --> Pendlebury
S. Shaw --> (MID) Rookie
Zorko --> Beams
Option 2:
Ellis --> Yarran
S. Shaw --> (MID) Rookie
Newman --> Pendles
Zorko --> Beams
Current Team: 23k 8 Trades
Deledio - Suckling - H. Shaw - Newman - Lake - Ellis - S. Shaw -- (Darley - Spurr)
Watson - Swan - Ablett - Priddis - Jelwood - Carrazzo -- (Goddard - Couch)
McEvoy - Giles -- (Redden, Stephenson)
Franklin - Sidebottom - Dangerfield - Lewis - Robinson - Chapman - Zorko -- (Adams - Hall)
Question is do I get Yarran and save a trade or get a better premium in the backline?
Can i survive on a midfield that consists of Gaj, Jelwood, Pendles, Priddus, Rockliff and hayes? 4 out of those 6 can score the odd 70~ and i feel this will be a problem come finals.
Im low on trades and need to hold off till atleast finals. My team is complete if i class this as my final midfield. (zorko F7)
Can i survive on that and simply worry about injurys and LTIs?

With 8 trades I would look at Option 1. Finishes team nicely. I would however look at upgrading Adams before Zorko if cash allows. Zorko would be fantastic F8/M7 coverage for you going into finals. (Using Couchas DPP)
With option b question is whether Yarran can keep it up. He can be easily tagged as we have seen previously.

If you are well placed in Leagues and can see yourself maintaining position I would just sit and wait for finals. You did not mention how many trades you had but if you have more than 4 Consider upgrades if cash available. However if you need to win to make finals then you need to think about your trades now. No use having 4 trades left and not making finals.
Hey guys, I am in a bit of a pickle this week and for the remainder of the season.
I have 5 trades left & $44k in the bank and have finalised every line except 1 in defence and a ruck.
My team as it is right now;
Goddard, Deledio, Scotland, H Shaw, Burgoyne, Broughton, S Shaw (Ellis, Darley)
Swan, GAJ, Jelwood, Watson, Pendlebury, Priddis (Sexton, Gibson)
Cox, Campbell (Redden, Big O)
Franklin, Beams, Sidebottom, Pavlich, Martin, J Lewis, Zorko (Porplyzia, Saad)
This week I had my hopes set on Saad/Redden ---> Murdoch or McIntyre/prem ruck. The problem is I only have $464,400 (Murdoch) or $476,300 (McIntyre) to spend on a ruck and there is no one really available. With the McIntyre trade I can pick up Griffin though which is what I am sorting of looking at right now. This will leave me with 3 trades for finals with Sam Shaw as my D7.
I also have another option which will leave me 1 trade and that is Saad/Ellis ----> Murdoch/Carrazzo this week and next week Porplyzia/Redden ----> McIntyre/I Maric... I do like this option for completing my final team but the 1 trade really worries me.
What would you guys do if you were in my position? I am in a really good position in my leagues as well, certainty for top 4 in two of my main leagues.

Zorko will be my last upgrade. Adams is going to be culled to to get enough cash to actually make the upgrade. Last of the listed trades will be Zorko to Beams.

Firstly your first thought is better. Agreed 1 trade is very low. Also one of Ellis/Shaw/Darley will play every week whereas neither Campbell/Stephenson/Redden may get named in one given week. You will be left with a donut. And honestly as a rookie a consistent 60-70 isn't too bad as a D7. your not losing too many points...
Mumford is under your price bracket. Another option rather than Griffin. Hopefully will get back to full form...

Yeah I had Mummy in my initial squad, I am part of the Mummy --> Sandi --> Cox group. He is one bloke I am scared to pick up and they have a pretty tough run home the swans.
Griffin looks the sort, watched the game yesterday, I can see him and Sandi working well together upon his return, and without Sandi I can see him raising the bat every week.
Hey guys, in a tough league where it is possible for the 11th position team to end up in 2nd position come finals. I'm currently in 9th position and playing the top of the table team.
Team match up looks good on my side but my fingers are getting itchy and wondering if i should pull the trigger on Giles. Only want to use one trade but can only see Mumford or Griffen as viable options.
Should i hold on the trade or go for it? Am i panicking because i'm not in the top 8?
7 trades left with Giles and Broughton (unless he has another role change) as my weakest players.

No use having 7 trades and not making finals. If you are not confident of making the eight after a loss this week, then you would need to trade, Have you much cash for upgrades or do you need to downgrade, If you still have Reddan or Steph in rucks and need cash I would downgrade one to Derrickx who will probably play out the season with tigers, Should net in excess of $100k for you.

Yeah that would be a nightmare not making the 8 holding all these trades. I'm confident in winning my last 3 matches before finals. Will be playing 14th,17th and 18th team. I have $90k in the bank atm. I have thought about downgrading Redden which would allow me to upgrade Giles to any ruck excluding Cox. My gut is telling me to hold the trade but if Giles is rested his definately gone which will then lead me to the next question of using a double trade to upgrade Giles or a single?
thanks for your help again

Who is your other ruck. You will need a strong ruck so double trade may be necessary to get Jacobs, Ryder, Maric or McEvoy. A single trade will net Minson or Hudson who are not the worst though if you only want a single trade.

My other ruck is Nic Nac. Hrmz... doing a double trade for one of the guys u've mentioned will definately make my team stronger although all year i've been planning to go into finals with 6 trades. Guess i'll wait for teams and decide then. :)

Thanks for the advice ringo.
I have 5 trades left. The trade i was doing this week is Goodes in Treloar out. Making it 4 trades after this week... but i may need to the everything over the the horror week we will all suffer this week.
Im 2nd in both my cash Leagues (equal 4th and 5th respectivly) but my percentage is good and am 2 and 3 games clear in the 8. Both leagues are GF wins the cash but one had a runner up prize of most points which im in front slightly
Any extra advice would be appreciated.
Thanks again.
Quick defence question. 2 trades, 57k in bank. Sitting 5th on ladder and almost definitely in top 8, next 4 games I should have at least 2 wins, the other 2 I might now lose due to copping a donut or 2. I have a tought game this week, easy to follow, then tough, then easy. Wish it were the other way around!
I currently have Hargrave and Waters on my field, with Goddard and Spurr on the bench. Team is pretty much set apart from damn injuries but should have bench cover in other areas.
The line: Deledio, Scotland, Heater, Carrazzo, Waters, Hargrave, S.Shaw (Goddard, Spurr)
Question, and I know it will be a common one, is waters worth holding? I can likely make finals without him playing, but if he's not back until round 21 then that's already in finals time, and what's the chance he will be at 100%? Seems that I might only be holding him for possibly 1-2 games right at the end. If Hargrave is not named this week, surely one of them has to go? Or, should I just sit on it, possibly cop a couple of losses in the last few rounds but still make finals, in case something else happens - God will be back next week. Basically this week I will probably lose if I don't trade, opponent has no goddard, hargrave or waters to hinder him.
I think my answer is to hold, just wondering if it's really worth it for only 1 or 2 games. If I'm likely to make the trade anyway, should I make it now to try and get myself a better run of finals? If I win 3-4 of the remaining 4 I'll almost definitely go through in number 2 spot...
Trade Waters, but cop the Hargrave donuts. May even mean you have a chance of top 4 if you do it.
Thanks CS. I think what I will do is wait and see, hopefully Hargrave is named. If he is I'll just cop a donut and save a trade, last thing I want is to make a trade and then have a season ender injury to someone. If he Hargrave is still out, I'll trade Waters - given my existing backs, is there anyone other than Birchall to think about? Already have Lids, God, Carrazzo, Scotland and Heater, most people seem to not have one of them and are trading to the one they don't have...
just need some advice on my rucks. I have 6 trades and $169k in the bank. i need to get rid of giles. leaning more towards Jacobs or McEvoy. got jenkins and cordy on the bench and kreuzer. tossing up between jacobs and McEvoy or is mumford woth the risk? or do i do a double trade and get cox or ivan

I don't think, especially after another horrendous round of injuries and suspensions that 4 trades will be enough to cover long term injuries. Or 4 is lowest amount. Giles to someone is classed as a luxury IMO, but one many people will be doing (myself included).
Jacobs has been reliable all season, but will Adelaide rest players is my only concern. I got McEvoy after his injury and he is doing very well. Seriously consider him (and my pick personally).

thanks bomber, I think i have come to the same conclusion, jacobs will be rested. McEvoy can put up some big numbers and is a good POD
2 trades + 130k with a nearly complete team (only Giles R2 to upgrade).
Unsure whether or not to hold Waters, currently have Darley/Shaw as cover for him & Goddard this round.
Should I trade Giles > Jacobs or Waters > Birchall or hold my 2 trades?
Dependent on where you are placed in Leagues. If you can stay in top 8 hold but if you need to win then you may have to trade.
Having a little trouble working out what to do in the short/long term.
Def: Deledio, Shaw.H, Carrazzo, Broughton, Lake, Shaw.S, Townsend (Spurr, Goddard)
Mid: Ablett, Pendlebury, Selwood, Boyd, Priddis, Montagna (Gibson, Ledger)
Ruck: Naitanui, Giles (Campbell, Stephenson)
For: Riewoldt.N, Sidebottom, Beams, Dangerfield, Zorko, Adams, Hall (Martin, Franklin)
$61,700 8 Trades
*Obvious concerns in Defense. Do I cop the donut this week or look at trading?
1. I could do TOWNSEND - McInnes to cover?
2. Is it a little premature/risky to do ADAMS or HALL - McIntyre/Couch. Depending on which downgrade I could upgrade either:
TOWNSEND - Scotland, Birchall or Enright
GILES - Roughead, Goldstein or Jacobs
The only concerns I have are that Adams/Hall have more money to make plus McIntyre/Couch may offer little JS in the long run. I am sitting top 2 in my league is it worth the trade?
Final question. I was thinking of keeping Giles as a 3rd Ruck backup...is this worthwhile? Having trouble finding the funds to upgrade Stephenson too!
Thanks for the help... :-\
The important stat is that you are second in the league so no drastic action is required. With Goddard back next week that leaves you with probably one upgrade left to complete leaving Lake as D7 which is a good result.
Personally I would consider with 8 trades left the Franklin to Goodes trade. Many will disagree but it means for the next two weeks you'll then have Zorko or Martin of F7 which is not bad and free up a fair bit of cash. With 8 trades you can leave open the option of getting him back in due course.
As for Giles I'd leave as 3rd ruck although he is on an extended bench this weekend which is cause for concern.
Good luck.
I have a couple of dilemma's this week. My team is:
Backs: Deledio, Scotland, Birchall, H. Shaw, Suckling, Waters (inj), Goddard (susp) (S. Shaw, Darley)
Mids: Ablett (c), Pendlebury (vc), Thompson, Mitchell, S. Selwood, D. Thomas (M. Williams, Crozier)
Rucks: Cox, Giles (extended bench) (Campbell, Stephenson)
Forwards: Franklin (inj), Sidebottom, Beams, Dangerfield, Chapman, Walker (susp), Martin (susp) (Zorko, Elliott)
Cash: $600
Trades left: 3
Position in Leagues 2nd-5th (in 4 leagues)
So for starters at the moment I have one donut for my forward line due to Walker & Martin being suspended and Franklin being injured, and only being able to cover two of them. Both Williams and Crozier are gone for the season. My thought was to maybe trade one of Williams or Crozier (probably Williams as he is worth more and is a single position player) to one of Couch or McIntyer who are DPP and I could then switch them for Martin to prevent a donut. Not sure which one to go with though.
My second dilemma is in my backline. Waters is gone for 4 weeks aparently meaning he won't be back until about round 20. I do have cover, even with Goddard out suspended for another weekwith Darley and Shaw but with Waters gone for so long should I hold him on my bench or should I look at trading him. If so I was thinking either Hurn or Carazzo.
My third dilemma is Giles. He's on the extended bench and I have no cover for him if he doesn't play. If he does his form has fallen away in the last few weeks. In order to trade him I would have to trade Williams to one of McIntyre or Couch and so I think I would be able to afford about a $450-500k ruckman (roughly)
The question is what should I do? I only have three trades left, but I do have one or two (or 3) weaknesses in my team. Should I trade or hold fire? If I trade which trades do I make?
A mere three trades makes them so precious!
You need to convince yourself you require at least 1 probably 2 trades as you head into the finals leaving only 1 left until then! That must be used for something essential.
Rucks - hopefully Giles plays this week and you stick with him to the end. That avoids an emergency there
Forwards - Your forward line will be ok next week with Martin & Walker back and Zorko to cover for Franklin for now. I think you should have a week of pain and leave it as it is.
Backs - The Waters issue is probably the most relevant. 4-5 weeks is a long time. You don't necessarily need to do anything this week (no backline donuts) but one option would to bring in a rookie, save the cash and next week play with Shaw as D7. You have Darley as cover.
Then if you have a ruck or forward emergency (and odds are we all will) you have enough money for an updgrade closer to the finals.
Good luck

In order to trade him I would have to trade Williams to one of McIntyre or Couch and so I think I would be able to afford about a $450-500k ruckman (roughly)
The question is what should I do? I only have three trades left, but I do have one or two (or 3) weaknesses in my team. Should I trade or hold fire? If I trade which trades do I make?
I'd wear this week mate, with your bank account there isnt alot to be gained this week. It will be tough to swallow i admit.
Right, I need some advice.
I have 6 trades left and $200K in the bank.
Here’s me team:
Def: Goddard, H.Shaw, Scotland, Lake, Birchall, Broughton, S.Shaw, Morris, Baguley
Mid: Ablett, Pendles, Boyd, Dal Santo, Deledio, Priddis, Smith, Martin
Ruck: Natanui, Giles, Redden, Stephenson
Fwd: Franklin, Beams, Dangerfield, Porplyzia, Goodes, Lewis, Zorko, Smedts, A.Hall
Do I bring a ruckman in for Giles (thinking McEvoy), or get rid of Smedts or Hall and bring in a midfielder? I can afford Marc Murphy, but could downgrade a ruckman to get cash for a more expensive mid.
Or, I can just do nothing and save the trades.
I’d appreciate any advice.

Giles --> McEvoy gives you the most points gained IMO. Most important upgrade left. Week after maybe downgrade Redden and upgrade Morris or S. Shaw (the other remains as cover) to a premium midfielder.

think giles needs upgrading. your situation would determine whether you should trade waters or not.. if you are going for league and are comfortably in the top 8(preferably top 4) then keep waters,, if you are stuggling to make finals or just want the highest rank then do the waters-->scotland trade

I think Giles has to go this week. Wont argue the toss on ruckmen so if you want McEvoy thats ok.
Then look towards getting another mid prem and putting Deledio in the backs moving Baguley to the mids.
If i was you id be keeping Redden as cover from here on in if your going to sell a ruckmen id make it
Stephenson. Keep your bench as solid as you can because you will need it in the later rounds, our finals.
TRADE BROUGHTON & GRAB BIRCHALL NOW???
Def: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw.H, Carrazzo, Lake, Spurr, Townsend (Broughton, Shaw.S)
Mid: Ablett, Pendlebury, Selwood, Boyd, Priddis, Montagna (Gibson, Ledger)
Ruck: Naitanui, Roughead (Campbell, Stephenson)
For: Riewoldt.N, Sidebottom, Beams, Dangerfield, Martin, Zorko, Couch (Franklin, Hall)
6 Trades $131,400
I will have $501,100 availabe for Birchall, Enright or Scotland (I like Birchall out of this lot).
If I hold this week and Birchall's value increases over this amount, I will need a downgrade to bring him in.
Worth it or not?
With 6 trades left I would have no hesitation doing the trade now. As you say price can only keep going up lsat 3 game average 109. You still need another defence upgrade as well in due course imo although if Spurr maintains form may be good enough for D7.
Hey guys,
Sitting pretty in top four in my league with easy game this week.
6 trades $28K so pretty happy.
My question is when do I trade? I don't need to trade just yet but should I.
Ranked 3972 overall so going for my best finish ever.
Obviously still need defensive and Ruck upgrades.
I am thinking either :
1. Horsley to Baguley for cash and waiting.
2. Horsley to Baguley and Darley to Scotland
or
3. Horsley to Baguley then wait and get Waters next week
Only worry as like last year is the possible general soreness and resting of players like last year in finals.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Not convinced on getting another ruck in until in finals due to injuries and possible lack of bench cover if one goes down now.
B: Goddard, Shaw, Lids, Carazzo, Suckling, Lake, Ellis (S.Shaw, Darley)
M: Ablett, Pendles, Boyd, Thompson, Dal Santo, Priddis (Sexton, Horsley)
R: Maric, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
F: FRANKLIN, Harvey, Sidebottom, Beams, Martin, Dangerfield, Zorko (Pieffer, Treloar)
Well done on rank and trades left.
Wait for teams to be announced and if Horsley or Baguley named then do the downgrade for cash. I would then sit and wait for options if well placed. Darley has a low B/e so will probably rise further. Bringing Baguley in will give you flexibility as both your mid benches Sexton and Baguley will have a DPP with Back and Forward.
Would be great to go into finals with 5 trades and $250k cash.
Thanks Ringo.
Yeah it's tough. Horsley will probably get named and have a blinder.
Just after I trade him for Baguley
Hey guys looking for a little guidance here:
Ranked top two in both leagues and have top 4 sewn up. (Overall 10k or so and going for league anyway)
4 Trades and $213,000 left in the bank.
Backs: Goddard, Scotland, H Shaw, Lids, Lake, Yarran, Malceski (Ellis, Darley)
Mids: Ablett, Pendles, Selwood, Priddis, Kennedy, Stanton (Gibson, C Smith)
Rucks: Cox, NicNat (Stephenson, Cambell)
Fwds: Dangerfield, Sidebottom, Franklin, Chapman, Goodes, Zorko, Martin (Hall, Sexton)
Three main issues I can see with my team come finals: (in order?)
1) Stanton - Essendon tough finals run (Stanton front runner) and his price plummeting.
2) Fwd cover with Sexton gone and Hall JS.
3) Malceski consistency - could use Ellis as a replacement but would be sacrificing points in finals.
Is four trades enough for a luxury trade now? At the moment I can afford Stanton -> Swan (or watson / boyd) but if I wait then I will likely have to double trade for Swan (or choose somebody worse). Also there are multiple legit downgrade targets this week (eg couch to fix my Fwd cover) whereas if I wait I could be without a decent option (needed?) Malceski price going up so I can wait for a luxury trade on him...
I would do the Stanton trade now for maximum benefit. Really stinking it up. Would save one of your trades as well.
Would be tempted to go Smith to Couch this week if Couch named so as you gain the mid forward DPP for added flexibility in finals. You can then interchange Couch with Sexton to gain forward coverage.
This will leave 2 trades and cash for finals which is ok given you will have a dpp as well.
Would not worry about your defence as either of Eski, Ellis or darely will be sound there,
2 trades and $500k in the bank enough for the last few rounds? struggle street

yeah u should be fine. Obviously dont need another downgrade. Your in a good position because when ever you need to use one of those trades, you will be able to afford the best
Yeah that's what I thought.. no more downgrades.. decent cover on my bench with shaw, Gibson and cloke..
Simple one coaches: who of Ryan Hargrave or Lee Spurr as my D7 on the field? The other will be emergency, both on extended bench. I'm leaning to Spurr, I'm pretty confident Hargrave will play, but figure Spurr has a good chance of outscoring him if he plays a full game - if I name Spurr and he doesn't play at all then I'll get Hagraves points. Only screwed if Spurr is the sub, which I don't think would happen to Hargrave - if he plays he wont be sub...
Thoughts?
Thanks!

To make this easy I don't think Spurr will make the final cut. Big IN's for Freo this week: Dawson (supposedly big ::)), Fyfe and Mayne.
Of the extended bench for Freo IMO Spurr, Sutcliffe and Neale/Suban will be cut...
Therefore Hargrave...

Hoping pfieffer plays to avoid a donut now Sidey is out. But doesn't really matter.
Should win league game anyway. Playing a dud.
Cheers Slammer
Hey coaches.
I have a bit of a situation on my hands and I'm looking for a bit of guidance...
I have 1 trade left and $36k left in the kitty.
I wasn't going to burn my last trade now but this is a MUST WIN game for me as I'm currently sitting
5th and face a tough opponent next week.
with my current forwardline I am facing potentially 2.5 - 3 donuts this week:
Fwds: Dangerfield, Sidebottom, Franklin, Chapman, Hurley, Zorko, Treloar (Dell'olio, Walsh)
I am currently thinking either Franklin -> Beams or Sidebottom -> Goodes. Thoughts?
Ask yourself, "Is this a must win?"
Could you afford lose and win next week?
If so, and remember in SC you can win from 8th, then hold.
If you have to trade, then Beams all the way.

If happy and suits your plans would do it.
Would help with Def/Mid option and give us a little cash.
My concern as mentioned is the dreaded GS.
Maric is a worry. Reckon if Richmond don't make finals (which I doubt they will) they will
send Maric off for surgery.

Maric to whoever will use 1 of the 5 remaining trades Still leaving 4 for GS during finals. But your decision $ trades for finals may be more than most of your opponents will have. Most people gong by an earlier poll only have 2/3.
My trigger finger is itchy but I don't want to panic trade for no reason.
2 games clear in 2nd, 6 trades and $131,400.
Def: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw.H, Carrazzo, Lake, Broughton, Shaw.S (Townsend, Spurr)
Mid: Ablett, Pendlebury, Selwood.J, Boyd, Priddis, Montagna (Gibson, Ledger)
Ruck: Naitanui, Roughead (Campbell, Stephenson )
For: Riewoldt.N, Beams, Dangerfield, Martin, Zorko, Sidebottom, Franklin (Hall, Couch)
I have come up with this but is there anything obvious I have missed?
1. BROUGHTON â€" BIRCHALL, SCOTLAND or WATERS (Keep Shaw.S at D7 and look for a downgrade/upgrade with Spurr in the coming weeks to finish the backline)
2. BAGULEY â€" BROUGHTON upgrade HALL â€" CHAPMAN, LEWIS or GOODES
3. COP THE LOSS look at downgrade/upgrade options next week? Goodes will be at a nice price, possible downgrades Bell, Docherty, Frost...
Cheers guys you have been a great help all season.
As I see your team you need just one maybe 2 upgrades in defence. You do not need to trade at the moment and with 6 trades you are in a healthy position
Hall and Couch maybe will not get games. Unfortunately you do not have a link to mids. Maybe look at upgrading Ledger via Couch or Hall when you feel right about it. This will give you the added flexibility of using Zorko as F8 or M7 for finals to cover GS.
Probably need to do 2 downgrades to obtain cash not necessary this week though. If Wrigley continued to be named for Brisbane downgrade one of defenders close to ceiling to him. Rookie priced at $95k so fair amount of cash to be generated.
Withe your existing cash you may have enough to upgrade Ledger and defence without another downgrade leaving you a finalised team and 3 trades for finals to cover.

Cheers Ringo, I have had a look at the matchups this week. I am playing top and he is one short in the Ruck. Pretty sure he is out of trades but can't be 100%. So I will be playing 1 short.
I'm very concerned about my backs, but really don't want to panic trade for the sake of it. I figure 2 games clear and 6 trades is a better position to be in even if I have a loss this week.
Who would you consider in the weeks to come for an upgrade in defence...Birchall I had in mind but worried about a "rest" down the track (coinciding with SC Finals). The others are Scotland, Waters or Enright.

All of those 3 have a downside to consider - Scotland may decrease in scoring when Judd comes back and has his court case hanging over him as well, Birchill as you say may be rested and Waters with a slight injury risk and always running the risk of suspension.
In order I would go Birchill, Waters then Scotland.
With finals coming up I am looking at how to finish off my team. I have 8 trades left and $280,000. My team looks like this
Deledio, Scotland, Goddard, Carrazzo, Lake, Newman, Dempsey, Sam Shaw, Spurr
Ablett, Pendlebury, Jack, Priddis, Hayes, Rockliff, Taylor Adams, Sam Gibson
Jacobs, Giles, Redden, Phillips
Franklin, Dangerfield, Sidebottom, O'Keefe, Chapman, Martin, Zorko, Treloar, Saad
I think I have 4 or 5 weaknesses in my team. I don't think I will be able to carry Lake, Newman and Dempsey in my team. Lake is a serviceable D7 but I am thinking I might need to upgrade both Newman and Dempsey. My second ruck is also a weakness at the moment. Giles put up over 100 on the weekend but he has been struggling the last few weeks. Add in the fact Rockliff and Martin have been inconsistent, but I don't think I will be trading them.

Giles should be serviceable for the season. Look his remaining matches and they are all against the lower teams. In terms of defender Lake is the best to keep.
Newman --> Scotland
Dempsey --> Birchall/Suckling whichever you can afford.
You are way ahead of the others with 8 trades remaining especially if you are making finals in all your leagues. If you really want to you can then downgrade Gibson and upgrade Giles. But that is up to you whether the 2 trades are more useful than a Nic Nat. 4 trades should be enough esp with you bench cover, but I see you are the patient type...

I already have Scotty. I was thinking Dempsey to Birchall. I am pretty well placed in my league. I am going to finish top two. Would a sideways trade to Sam Fisher be worth it? I could do something like Dempsey>Birchall Shaw/Spurr>Fisher. This will let me play Newman as bench coverage which is about all he is worth right now. I can then look at upgrading my rucks the week after since I have the trades to burn.

Sideways to Sam Fisher not worth it in your situation given you have soo many trades to burn and the cash to trade. To be honest on current form S. Shaw is scoring just as well as Newman so having Newman as bench coverage isn't that much better than playing S. Shaw as bench coverage. Instead you get 2 better scoring defenders...

So maybe a Newman>Enright and Dempsey>Birchall. This will leave me with $9,200. I can then do a double trade the week after to upgrade my ruck.The reason I was thinking of trading Spurr to Fisher was for the fact that Birchall could be rested and the fact Shaw has been injured the last few weeks.

I am a bit worried about Waters injury history. Enright has been averaging just as much as Waters over the last 5 rounds and is a bit of a unique pick. Plus my main competition for the league has Waters in his team and I need a couple of different players

Sorry I misinterpreted what you meant. So I think these are the three combinations then Enright and Waters for Dempsey and Newman, Enright and Birchall for Dempsey and Newman or Waters and Birchall (who the team ranked second has both) for Dempsey and Newman.
Enright and Birchall. Durable and Enright is a good POD running into form...
Hey guys,
Have a guaranteed top 4 finish now for finals.
Scored my highest score ever last week 2674 so pretty happy.
Ranked 2634 overall so hoping to stay there abouts.
5 trades $237,500 left.
Can go S.Shaw or Ellis to Scotland or Waters this week (i think)
Don't quite have enough cash to use Darley.
Do I hold on the trade? Or do I do it this week as Waters and Scotland both have low B/E's.
Would like to use Darley as I think S.Shaw and Ellis would be great bench cover but don't quite have enough cash.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers Sam
B: Goddard, Shaw, Lids, Carazzo, Suckling, Lake, Ellis (S.Shaw, Darley)
M: Ablett, Pendles, Boyd, Thompson, Dal Santo, Priddis (Sexton, Baguley)
R: Maric, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
F: FRANKLIN, Harvey, Sidebottom, Beams, Martin, Dangerfield, Zorko (Pieffer, Treloar)
If you do not mind 3 trades going into finals I would go Sexton to Couch (Couch will still give you the DPP and may get further games). Then you should have the cash to upgrade darley plus $50k for finals upgrades.
What do you guys think?
$45K in the bank with 5 trades left.
Def: Goddard, Deledio, H.Shaw, Lake, Scotland, Birchall, Morris, S.Shaw, Broughton
Mid: Ablett, Pendles, Boyd, Dal Santo, Priddis, Martin, Baguley, D. Smith
Ruck: Natanui, McEvoy, Redden, Stephenson
Fwd: Franklin, Beams, Dangerfield, Goodes, Lewis, Zorko, Porplyzia, Smedts, A.Hall
I'll need to get rid of Broughton, so I'm not sure whether I should go a sideways to someone like Fisher, or trade Stephenson/Hall so I can upgrade Broughton to Carazzo, Waters.
If I win this week I'll be top 4 for the finals.
Thinking ahead, Hodge in as a POD next week for Smith? Thoughts?
Appreciate your help.

Yeah cheers Ringo although I think I would rather save the trade and go in with 4 for finals.
Thinking maybe Ellis now s.shaw is named.
My options:
1. Ellis to Scotland
2. Eliis to Waters
or
3. Darley to Fisher or hurn
Leaning towards 1 but not sure
waters injury prone and not convinced on fisher yet
Have one non playing player on each bench now

What do you guys think?
$45K in the bank with 5 trades left.
Def: Goddard, Deledio, H.Shaw, Lake, Scotland, Birchall, Morris, S.Shaw, Broughton
Mid: Ablett, Pendles, Boyd, Dal Santo, Priddis, Martin, Baguley, D. Smith
Ruck: Natanui, McEvoy, Redden, Stephenson
Fwd: Franklin, Beams, Dangerfield, Goodes, Lewis, Zorko, Porplyzia, Smedts, A.Hall
I'll need to get rid of Broughton, so I'm not sure whether I should go a sideways to someone like Fisher, or trade Stephenson/Hall so I can upgrade Broughton to Carazzo, Waters.
If I win this week I'll be top 4 for the finals.
Thinking ahead, Hodge in as a POD next week for Smith? Thoughts?
Appreciate your help.
If you do not have to win to stay top 4 I would hold as both Stephenson and Hall named this week. If you have to win then your pick of the 2 to downgrade and Broughton to Waters/Carazzo/Suckling/Hurn

If you do not mind 3 trades going into finals I would go Sexton to Couch (Couch will still give you the DPP and may get further games). Then you should have the cash to upgrade darley plus $50k for finals upgrades.
Yeah cheers Ringo although I think I would rather save the trade and go in with 4 for finals.
Thinking maybe Ellis now s.shaw is named.
My options:
1. Ellis to Scotland
2. Eliis to Waters
or
3. Darley to Fisher or hurn
Leaning towards 1 but not sure
waters injury prone and not convinced on fisher yet
Have one non playing player on each bench now
Def. darley
Mid. Sexton

Any thoughts?
As Darley is not playing I would be tempted to upgrade Darley to Fisher/Hurn or Harbrow (could be a POD look at his form in last 4 games). Ellis would be good bench cover as well. Will leave you 4 trades for finals with playing benches in Defence.
Where to UPGRADE?
Def: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw.H, Carrazzo, Lake, Shaw.S, Spurr (Broughton, Townsend)
Mid: Ablett, Pendlebury, Selwood.J, Priddis, Boyd, Montagna (Gibson, Ledger)
Ruck: Naitanui, Roughead (Campbell, Stephenson)
For: Riewoldt.N, Beams, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, Martin, Zorko, Hall (Franklin, Couch)
6 trades $131,400 (Top 2 in league and Top 4 secured if I lose this week)
Broughton â€" Scotland, Birchall, Waters or Enright (Broughton has to go but which premium?)
Spurr â€" Bell (use $$$ for next upgrade following week)
OR
Broughton - Bell
Hall â€" Pavlich (No Hall = Donut, but will my forwards be too stacked when Franklin returns...Zorko on the pine?)
Any advice would be, it has been GOLD all year! ;D

Congratulations on Team and with 6 trades left.
A bit left field for you but may set you up for finals. Broughton to a prem ruck you can afford and then Hall to Pattinson or Staley Both Campbell and Stephenson have been named so you can move Roughie forward to cover donut. Next week look at further downgrade options and upgrade one of Stephenson or Campbell in rucks.
Leaves you another 2 trades for finals. Just think that Spur has better JS than Bell or Townsend and will give you coverage if needed,

How many trades are these moves going to take?
Am a little confused on "Broughton to a prem ruck" ??? Do you mean Broughton to a prem BACK?
If I trade Hall - Pattison I can move Roughead forward but them I have Naitanui, Stephenson, Campell and Pattison in my Ruck division.
Depending on how much Stephenson goes up I might not even have $400k to upgrade a Ruckman for the first week (if Franklin misses another I will have to keep Roughead forward). I might be then stuck with Campbell or Stephenson to be R2 for the 1st Final.
Is this a bit risky?
I agree with Spurr's JS but Bell looks like the only downgrade option (except for Wrigley) in the near future.

My bad best back for Broughton. Was just a thought for you. You could downgrade Townsend next week to allow ruck upgrade then 2 trades.
hello hello!
Looking at my first finals matchups I'm wondering if I need to make any trades. I don't have a second chance and got three trades left.
Suckling vs Scotland
Yarran vs Lake
Thompson vs Priddis
Bellchambers vs Mumford
Buddy/Treloar vs Pavlich
Porps/Cloke vs Chappy
My teams on the right and the trade I'm thinking of doing is Lake>Waters
Cheers!
Need help bad cos dont know what to do.
6 trades left and 100 k and finished second.
Backs: Lidz, Goddard, Shaw, Carrots, Lake, Malceski, Ellis
Darley, Spurr
Midfield: Gaj, Pendles, Selwood, Boyd, JPK, Zorkho
Gibson, Miles'
Rucks: NNat, Mummy
Campbell, Hall
Forwards: Franklin, Pav, Danger, Chapman, Sidebottom, Goodes, Martin
Patton, Couch
I know my backs are horrible. I was thinking of ellis > rookie for cash and then lake to waters. Leaves me with spurr who is scoring alright and 250 k at the end. Im keeping the faith with malceski though.
Another thing I was pondering wasmartin > rookie which gives me heaps of cash and then ellis\lake to waters. Following week zorkho > beams and gibson > swan....
So many options not sure what to do. If gibson keeps scoring 90+ itsa a waste having him on the bench and he can do the same thing as martin....
Any suggestions highly appreciated.

Think you have it all covered. Wait till teams named and then trade if necessary. Lake to Waters would be ok to make sure but will leave 2 trades.

Hey Ringo,
Took a risk and went Ellis to Scotland which I guess paid off but with Suckling and Lake having shockers it kind
of evened out.
4 trades now @ $73900K
Another big decision this week. Could burn two trades and trade Pfieffer or Darley for rookie and upgrade Lake to Waters.
Or just hold given that I have double chance and scored 2600+ for last two weeks.
B: Lids, Godd, Shaw, Carrazzo, Suckling, Lake, Scotland (Darley, S.Shaw)
M:Ablett, Pendles, Boyd, Thompson, Dal Santo, Priddis (Baguley, Sexton)
R: Maric, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
F:BUDDY, Martin, Beams, Harvey, Sidey, Danger, Zorko (Treloar, Pfieffer)
Thanks for you suggestions. You have done well.
Leaning towards holding this week and keeping 4 trades. Have a rough chance to get over the line this week if I can keep scoring like I have been but it will be tough as you can see below.
Match ups are as follows:
Him vs Me
Birchall vs Suckling
Waters vs Lake
Watson vs Boyd
Selwood vs Dal Santo
Swan (? ) vs Thompson
Kreuzer vs Maric
Steve J vs Beams
J.Lewis vs Harvey
Fyfe vs Buddy
Any further suggestions would be appreciated as always.
If successful then the trades would be handy in the next two weeks I guess if I hold this week.

Looking at the match ups will be tight but as you have the second chance I would hold trades, However if Darley is not named this week i would be tempted to downgrade him to Wrigley increasing your cash to $225k with 3 trades for finals.
Next week look again at opponents team and strengthen where needed
Hi guys,
Would appreciate an opinion from you guys on my thoughts for this week.
Have 3 trades with $55k in the bank
Team is;
Deledio, Scotland, Goddard, H Shaw, Burgoyne, S Shaw, Baguley (Ellis, Darley)
Ablett, Swan, Pendlebury, J Selwood, Watson, Priddis (Gibson, Sexton)
Cox, McEvoy (Big O, Campbell)
Franklin, Beams, Pavlich, Sidebottom, J Lewis, Martin, Zorko (Porplyzia, Saad)
Have a double chance in both my main leagues but with the trades I have in mind they will get me over the line I think.
I want to do Swan > Carrazzo and Porplyzia > Dangerfield.
I can swing Dangerfield into the midfield and I can swap Baguley with Carrazzo in my defence.
Team will look like this with 1 trade remaining;
Deledio, Scotland, Goddard, H Shaw, Burgoyne, S Shaw, Carrazzo (Ellis, Darley)
Ablett, Dangerfield, Pendlebury, J Selwood, Watson, Priddis (Gibson, Baguley)
Cox, McEvoy (Big O, Campbell)
Franklin, Beams, Pavlich, Sidebottom, J Lewis, Martin, Zorko (Sexton, Saad)
Reason I want to get rid of Swan is when he comes back in to the side they have a tough road trip to Perth and cant see him scoring massive against them up there, although against the bombers he might go big in the GF, but is it worth holding onto him for that one game? With Porplyzia he has maxed out plus this shoulder injury is concerning.
Am I doing the right thing?

Now Buddy is out I am thinking the Buddy to Pav trade this week.
Or Buddy to Fyfe
What do you reckon?
I am facing the same decision and keep changing my mind between Fyfe and Pav. Trying to convince myself that Pav will keep scoring goals which has been the back bone of his scores lately. Fyfe has looked good in his comeback. Toss of the coin but at this point in time leaning slightly to time but may change again before lock out.
You missed out a word Ringo. You leaning towards Pav or Fyfe?
I am thinking Fyfe as it leave me with 3 trades and $242k or using two trades and downgrading Darley and up grading Pfeiffer meaning I would still keep Buddy leaving Zorko as bench cover next week..

Am I doing the right thing?
Couple of things for you.
Firstly have a look ay your opponents unique to see if you to need to upgrade further. Think you need to look at defence with 4 rookies still there bit of a rsik going into finals. You still have 3 after the trades.
However the trades you suggest are sound though not a real fan of playing Dangerfield in Mids. Trdaes will also waeken your benches which may be a disadvantage in finals.
I would be tempted to just do a single trade this week if you can win and that would be Porps to Fyfe. Gibson is scoring well enough to cover Swan anyway. Your reasons to trade swan are sound but the flip side may be he will come back with a point to prove to his team mates and really step it up so that would be a reason to keep him.
Assess next week with final trades for defence.
Just something to consider but like most of us we all have less trades thean we had hoped.

Ha ha..Thanks mate.
Yeah Fyfe looks the go I guess.
I could do the Darley/Pfieffer downgrade/upgrade for Pav but I guess that would burn two trades.
Would probably be overkill in my fwd line with Zorko doing so well.
Not sure...would leave me with only two trades.
My side then would look like this:
B: Lids, Godd, Shaw, Carrazzo, Suckling, Lake, Scotland (Rookie?, S.Shaw)
M:Ablett, Pendles, Boyd, Thompson, Dal Santo, Priddis (Baguley, Sexton)
R: Maric, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)

Def: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw.H, Carrazzo, Scotland, Lake, Shaw.S (Bell, Townsend)
Mid: Ablett, Pendlebury, Selwood.J, Boyd, Priddis, Montagna (Gibson, Ledger)
Ruck: Naitanui, Roughead (Campbell, Stephenson )
For: Riewoldt.N, Beams, Dangerfield, Martin, Zorko, Sidebottom, Hall (Franklin, Couch)
4 Trades 188,100 (Finished 2nd in my league)
LAKE â€" WATERS
Shaw $$$ to make consistent scorer could possibly be D7. Lake going to lose $$$, yo-yo scores and the way the bulldogs are traveling he may suffer further.
FRANKLIN â€" PAVLICH
Buddy coming back under done fitness wise, could affect his scores. Pavlich a great run home, bit pricey however.
Opponent's uniques: (In BOLD)
Def: Birchall (Shaw.S)
Mid: Watson, Swallow, Murphy (Boyd, Priddis, Montagna)
Ruck: Cox, Mumford (Naitanui, Roughead/Stephenson)
For: Lewis, Christensen, DONUT (Beams, Riewoldt.N, Hall)
Unsure whether he will trade but has only a couple left...

Think you have your opponent covered so hold. If you win you get a week off from Leagues so you would still have 4 trades for final 2 rounds to cover GS as well. I would however consider the Lake - Waters trade as lake will fall in value this week with a high B/e.

LAKE – WATERS
Shaw $$$ to make consistent scorer could possibly be D7. Lake going to lose $$$, yo-yo scores and the way the bulldogs are traveling he may suffer further.
FRANKLIN – PAVLICH
Buddy coming back under done fitness wise, could affect his scores. Pavlich a great run home, bit pricey however.

I am concerned with Rougheads possible out that the contest sways back in his favour.
I know its crystal balling but if I strengthen now I can make a Prelim and sit back and see what happens for the week and then fingers crossed nothing to trade come Prelim time.
Its a massive what if, but wouldn't you prefer it this way than losing and then having to trade week 2 if injuries/suspensions occur and then relying on winning and having 2 at Prelim final time anyway?

Take your point in making prelim but think you will anyway, It could boil down to how Stephenson handles Cox and Nat. If you feel that is where you will loose it then I would suggest Jacobs or Maric.
6 Trades left, I am straight through to the prelim so I have a week off. I am going to make 2 trades this week but I am not exactly sure what to do.
$9,200 in cash
Deledio, Scotland, Goddard, Enright, Birchall, Carrazzo, Lake, Sam Shaw, Spurr
Ablett, Pendlebury, Jack, Priddis, Hayes, Rockliff, Gibson, Taylor Adams
Jacobs, Giles, Redden, Phillips
Franklin, Dangerfield, Sidebottom, O'Keefe, Chapman, Martin, Zorko, Treloar, Saad
I am thinking of bringing Heath Shaw in for Lake but I don't want to do it this week just in case Shaw does not play next week. I know I have trades to burn, but I don't want to burn them like that. I was thinking that this week I downgrade Redden to Pattison to free up some cash. I am also thinking of downgrading Lake for some cash and I will do a double upgrade next week.
Option 1
Week 1: Redden>Pattison Lake>Shaw Week 2: Saad>Roughy Taylor Adams>Rookie with DPP
Option 2: Redden>Pattison Lake>rookie Week 2: Saad>Roughy Spurr or Shaw> Heath Shaw.
This will all depend on who is named and not named. I think I am better off doing the double downgrade this week. What do you think and do you have any suggestions on who to downgrade to if you don't like my options?
Hottest players at the moment would have to include Beams and Watson.
Can you get them?
Rockliff could go along with Saad / Adams for one of those 2 and a cheapie on the bubble.
Then for the GF, go for maybe Cox.
Over 3 weeks you'd get 'Watson Beams' Cox'? (hopefully not contagious)
Will Thompson be rested for the R23 shellacking of GCS? Avg 148 against them in L3. Hasnt missed a game all year could be smart move by adelaide to rest.

Wish we all had that Chrystal ball to see if any Crows players would be rested, I would ensure that you at least have emergency coverage or alternately have one trade left in case. Would not trade out just yet though.

I have almost zero cash so I need to make a couple of downgrade trades to free up some cash. Rockliff has a very easy draw over the last two finals matches which is why I was looking at holding him. Lake is going to have to play on some of the big power forwards over the next few weeks and some teams he has always struggled against (Syd, Geel, Bris) so I see him as my biggest weakness at the moment.
I think Beams might get rested and my forward line is pretty set with Zorko as my 7th forward and Treloar as bench coverage. The point of bringing in Roughy was to play him as a ruck and not a forward unless someone was out. Watson could be an option for round 23 if Hayes does not play. Cox could also be a good option for round 23 with the matchup against the Hawks so I might hold off on Roughy and look to bring in Cox if he plays.
Hey ringo thanks for your help through this season. I need your last piece of advise.
I have 4 trades left, have a week off and dont know what to do. Team is as follows with 200k sitting in bank:
Backs: Lidz, Goddard, Shaw, Carrots, Lake, Waters, Malceski, Spurr
Darley, Browne
Midfield: Gaj, Pendles, Selwood, Boyd, JPK, Zorkho
Gibson, Miles'
Rucks: NNat, Mummy
Campbell, Hall
Forwards: Franklin, Pav, Danger, Chapman, Sidebottom, Goodes, Martin
Patton, Couch
I ultimately want swan\watson(maybe both for boyd\zorkho), beams, and maybe birchall. How can I make this happen. Beams is killing me but who and how would I get him in for if the likes of chappy\goodes\martin decide to fire.
So is not having another super premium in my midfield.
Thoughts champ?

Nice Team
If Franklin is not named this week I would be tempted to go Franklin to Beams.
Not sure that I would be trading Zorko at this stage but your decision. Brisbane have Adelaide this week followed by Port and Dogs so he may regain previous scores. last week apart from when he was the sub was only the second time he scored below 90. Swan has a high B/e this week so I would wait and see till next week to move. Also can observe what his attitude will be to the game after club discipline.
Gibson has an achievable B/e this week so I would be tempted to sit and see if a trade Gibson to Swan/Watson is possible.
If you do the Franklin trade then that still leave 2 trades for final game to use as needed. (Birchill), If you do the trades you have the otion of using Zorko to cover both Mids and Forwards.
Hey Ringo
Just wondering who you would bench from this lot this week.....first time i've actually had enough fit players for this to be a problem in a long time haha
Buddy, Chappy, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, Dusty, Goodes, Zorko, Roughead, NicNat, Mummy
Was going to bench Goodes till i saw he had the Bulldogs this week who look to be blooding youth....he may just have a day out
Hate to say it would probably bench Martin. Playing Freo at Pattinsons so he would be my choice closely followed by Goodes. You have the advantage of seeing whether will be a late out as well.
yeah its tough, was even think maybe just benching Chappy anyways, he's been spending time in the forward pocket as of late
Ringo, how are you my man. Just wanted to know your thoughts on my final team.
Backs: Deledio, Goddard, Shaw, Waters, Birchall, Carrazzo, Yarran (Darley (e), Bootsma)
Mids: Ablett (c), Watson, Kennedy (vc), Mitchell, Boyd, Priddis (Gibson (e), JMac)
Rucks: Goldstein, Giles (Redden, Campbell)
Fwds: Franklin, Dangerfield, Sidebottom, Chapman, Martin, Goodes, Zorko (Casboult (e), Patton)
Let me know your thoughts mate.
Cheers :)

not Ringo, but can you 'magically' turn Yarran into Scotland TT?? ;)
seriously though, you're looking good - i have seen rumours of Mitchell as a late withdrawal but no 'confirmations' as yet ... hopefully just 'finals' scare-mongering ...
Are you able to upgrade a fwd into SJ??
I ran through this earlier in the week. I was looking at bringing in Heath Shaw for Lake but since I have a bye this week I was thinking a double downgrade for cash is my best option. So I am thinking of downgrading Lake (who I was planning on trading to Shaw) this week and downgrading Redden.
6 trades left and $9,200 in cash and my team is below.
Deledio, Scotland, Goddard, Enright, Birchall, Carrazzo, Lake, Sam Shaw, Spurr
Ablett, Pendlebury, Jack, Priddis, Hayes, Rockliff, Gibson, Taylor Adams
Jacobs, Giles, Redden, Phillips
Franklin, Dangerfield, Sidebottom, O'Keefe, Chapman, Martin, Zorko, Treloar, Saad
I am thinking Alex Browne could be a good downgrade option. This frees up a lot of cash and he would be bench coverage behind Sam Shaw. So the two trades I will make this week would be Lake>Browne and Redden>Pattison
This will give me $406,300 in cash and let me to trade out Spurr to Shaw (Spurr to go up in cash and Shaw to drop) and then Saad to Roughead for ruck coverage. That will leave me with 2 trades for the last week of the season and my team will look like this
Deledio, Scotland, Goddard, Enright, Birchall, Carrazzo, Heath Shaw, Sam Shaw, Browne
Ablett, Pendlebury, Jack, Priddis, Hayes, Rockliff, Gibson, Taylor Adams
Jacobs, Roughead, Giles, Phillips
Franklin, Dangerfield, Sidebottom, O'Keefe, Chapman, Martin, Zorko, Treloar, Pattison
This will leave me with 2 trades and almost 0 cash again going into the final round but my team will be very solid.
Does this look ok or should I look at doing something else?
Thoughts coaches?
Backs: Deledio, Goddard, Shaw.H, Waters, Carrazzo, Scotland, Shaw.S (Bell, Townsend)
Mids: Ablett, Pendlebury, Boyd, Priddis, Selwood.J, Montagna (Gibson, Ledger)

Fwds: Pavlich, Dangerfield, Sidebottom, Beams, Martin, Zorko, Riewoldt.N (Couch, Hall)
2 Trades $62,000 (sudden death final!)
RIEWOLDT - JOHNSON.S, LEWIS or CHAPMAN?
Or double trade to get O'KEEFE?
I would go with Stevie J
Quote from: Mat0369 on August 17, 2012, 08:11:52 PM
I would go with Stevie J
Was leaning towards him due to his ability to blow out his scores to 140+ if he's got his mojo!
Captains choice is proving difficult. Play it safe with Ablett or risk with Pendlebury? I think my opponent might go Ablett but not sure what to do.
Looking at our squads it's fairly even!
Ringo/any others who care to comment, prelim final trade decision:
The team I'm playing has identical defender and rucks to me so fwds/mids will decide it. Here's mine:
Mid: Ablett, Pendles, Jelwood, Boyd, Thompson, Priddis (Adams, Gibson)
Fwd: Buddy, Pav, Danger, Sidey, Zorko, Chappy, Martin (Elliot, Murdoch)
Theirs (as of round 21, changes unknown)
Mid: Ablett, Pendles, Watson, Mitchell, Rockliff, Gibson (Miles, Baguley)
Fwd: Buddy, Pav, Danger, Sidey, Zorko, Beams, Jpod (5fer, Couch)
Bold players the same. I'll take a speculative punt and say the only trades that might happen in their team are a Gibson upgrade if anything at all. I wouldn't change those fwds and leave Gibson as an M6. But no idea if they can even trade. I would back my unique mids over theirs, but anything could happen there. Would probably back Jpod and Beams over Chappy and Martin. So, my questions is this:
With 2 trades and $57,000 left, I was planning to get rid of Franklin. However, seeing as he is in both our teams, I'm now thinking I use my last two trades to go Hargrave (def) -> rookie and Martin -> Beams. The only other iffy player in my team is I have Giles as Ruck 2, but he is in 3/4 teams in the finals now and is performing at the moment. Good trade? Will wait for teams obviously but is that a good option?

Like Martin to Beams if you can do it. If you can not then I would look at Martin to Stevie J as a POD. Martin has been a disappointment this year and if Treloar had have been named he would have been benched. As you say wait for teams to be named before deciding.
Trust downgrading Hargrave does not weaken defence.

Thanks Ringo.
Nah Hargrave has been on the bench, def is Deledio, Goddard, Scotland, Carrazzo, Waters, Heater, S.Shaw (Spurr, Hargrave) - happy with Shaw as a field player and Spurr as cover, can drop Hargrave and make 200k off him, would afford me Martin to Beams. See what happens but if my team are all playing then I think that will be the call.
Hi there guys,
Been contemplating for over a week now (went straight through to prelim) which 1 of these guys to trade out for Carrazzo this week. Martin or Zorko out, switch Baguley into midfield then pull the trigger on Carrots.
Have 2 trades with $30k in bank and am looking at only doing the 1 trade.
Team is;
Deledio, Scotland, Goddard, H Shaw, Burgoyne, S Shaw, Ellis (Baguley, Darley)
Ablett (c), Swan, Pendlebury, J Selwood, Watson, Priddis (Gibson, Zorko)
Cox, McEvoy (Big O, Campbell)
Franklin, Beams, Pavlich, Sidebottom, J Lewis, Martin, Fyfe (Sexton, Saad)
Am going to lose the fwd/mid multi position option by doing this, am going to gain the def/mid multi position option though.
I can keep both players and upgrade/downgrade with my last 2 trades but whats the point off having $500k players on the pine. Would rather keep my last trade if I make it through to next week.
Have I got any other options? Would appreciate your thoughts on my dilemma
Final 2 trades advice.
Current team.
Shaw, delidio, goddard, enright, waters, scottland, carrots -shaw townsend
Ablett, jelwood, pendles, priddus, hayes, rockliff -baguely sexton
Maric, nicnat - bigo Jenkins
Pav, sidey, franklin, martin, goodes, fyfe, zorko - cloke dickson
So at the moment I'm disalponted with rockliff and obviously have a must win this week.
My plans
CLOKE > TIPPET
ROCKLIFF > SWAN
then I would obviously decide if I should field tippet instead of zorko and swing zorko to the mid emg as bags isn't prelim worthy cover.
These trades with leave me $800 and 0 trades.
Other ideas are obviously cash in franklin to SJ and rocky to who ever.
Hi guys,
I just started a poll, but thought I might ask the question here as well.
I need some help deciding who to bench. Current fwd line is:
Beams, Sidey, Danger, Stevie J, GOODES, ZORKO, CHAPPY (MARTIN, Darling)
Thinking of benching 1 of the 4 guys in capitals, my short bio on each is below:
- Martin: scored 54 and can be inconsistent, but should tear up depleted Bombers Fri nyt??
- Goodes: scored 131 but has been ordinary prior. Hawks will be much tougher than Bulldogs
- Chappy: 62 and played fwd last week. But possibly was just to 'ease' in after week out with calf, and should be right and back to normal role this week?
- Zorko: last 2 weeks has been 'off' and below where he has been?
Would appreciate some thoughts, thanks guys

Know you do not like the idea of a double trade but I would do this week. My question would be is the DPP worth it when you have Gibson as mid cover. I would consider this trade Martin to a roookie mid/forward Switch Zorko to forwards and then upgrade one of Baguely/Darley to Carazzo. Martin has been absolute rubbish in recent weeks and if I had a playing a bench he would be on the bench. Your decision though

My opinion - Tippet has been scoring just as erratically as Cloke so would not consider this trade. I would look at the Franklin to Stevie J trade and Rockcliff to whoever you desire. As an alternative who can you afford as a straight swap with Rockliff and leaving one trade.

Personally I would still stick with Martin. I have 3 of those you have (do not have Chappy) and if Treloar is back Martin will be on my bench.
Zorko still scored 93 last week not bad for a forward and Brisbane play Port this week.
Goodes is Goodes and we know what he can do and always comes good at the pointy end of the season.
i only have one trade left and only 2,800 in the bank so my last trade will be pretty much a straight swap.....do i pull the trigger this week and do something like Heppel -> Yarran/Hanley or Chappy -> Lewis/Hawkins or do i sit on my hands for another week, hope that my team is good enough as it stands and save it in case of injury this week?

It all depends on your matchup. Realistically Heppell--> Yarran or Chappy-->Lewis is not going to win you a match normally. I would say hold but there may be other options worth considering if you post your team...
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,66872.0.html (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,66872.0.html)
I would hold unless someone doesn't play (Buddy). Heppell --> Yarran etc will net about 20 points if you are lucky, thats not going to be a deciding factor in a match...

Deledio, Scotland, Goddard, H Shaw, Burgoyne, S Shaw, Ellis (Baguley, Darley)
Ablett (c), Swan, Pendlebury, J Selwood, Watson, Priddis (Gibson, Zorko)
Cox, McEvoy (Big O, Campbell)
Franklin, Beams, Pavlich, Sidebottom, J Lewis, Martin, Fyfe (Sexton, Saad)
Am going to lose the fwd/mid multi position option by doing this, am going to gain the def/mid multi position option though.
I can keep both players and upgrade/downgrade with my last 2 trades but whats the point off having $500k players on the pine. Would rather keep my last trade if I make it through to next week.
Have I got any other options? Would appreciate your thoughts on my dilemma
Know you do not like the idea of a double trade but I would do this week. My question would be is the DPP worth it when you have Gibson as mid cover. I would consider this trade Martin to a roookie mid/forward Switch Zorko to forwards and then upgrade one of Baguely/Darley to Carazzo. Martin has been absolute rubbish in recent weeks and if I had a playing a bench he would be on the bench. Your decision though
If I go by your suggestion I can just swap Zorko & Martin straight up and turn Martin into Carrazzo saving me a trade. Swap Baguley with Carrazzo in the the midfield.
I think after team news I will have some more issues to deal with, McEvoy in doubt, Pavlich in doubt, Buddy in doubt... If McEvoy misses and one of Pav and Buddy miss I will have the cover for them (dont trade Zorko or Martin), I will have to sideways trade McEvoy to maybe Sandi & then trade Gibson for Carrazzo.
One player that I am afraid off (my opponent has him) is Dangerfield, although my opponent doesn't have Beams.
Amazing what a couple of days can do to a plan.
Buddy imo will definitely play but as you say you have doubts with McEvoy and Pav. Wait for team announcements and then decide. You may have to do sideways trade to cover.
Do not worry too much about Danger as imo Danger and Beams go close to cancelling each other out.
Hey Ringo,
Just wondering if I should use my last trades this week or not (of course depending on the GS injury etc.)
This is how it looks on paper so far.
2 trades and $134K
Could go Suckling to Birchall or bring in S.Shaw and bench Suckling.
Or go Treloar to Steve J and Dal Santo to Selwood.
Not sure...Any other ideas would be appreciated.
My concern is Harvey getting the Crowley tag (if he plays) and Watson and/or Steve J firing for him.
Do I try and bring in Steve J or something similiar to match him or back my side and keep two trades for GF if I make it.?
Him vs Me
Dempsey - Waters
Lake - Suckling
Watson - Thompson
Hayes - Dal Santo
Cox - Maric
ROK - Beams
Steve J - Danger
N.Roo - Harvey
J. Roo - Fyfe
Cloke - Zorko
I would hold Slammer because if these are the POD imo you win easily on paper. (See you winning 7 on paper) Obviously you do not know his trades. Wait for Team announcements to see if you need to trade.
If worried about Harvey I would be tempted to play Treloar if named as his last 3 have been 99, 129,115 which will match N Roo at the moment as well. Your decision though.
ok coaches have planned for the last 6 weeks to bring in pendlebury this week and maybe a luxury trade, but due to buddy, rioli and nroo trouble the plan got thrown out the window. I had big plans with my backs but with all the other trouble i just decided to ride that rollercoaster. i didnt have a bad week last week with a score of 2526 even with couchs 27. Im ranked about 25000, which im happy with. so the question is what to do next?
my thoughts are trade gibson to any prem mid. as stated was going to go pendlebury but has not been great of late so was thinking swan and then thinking of keeping my last trade for GF. any help would be great, heres the team
backs are lids, goddard, grimes, yarran, phil davis, carrots, lake. bench S.Shaw, whiley
mids. ablett, murphy, jpk, hayes, bartel, gibson. bench c smith, crozier
rucks. McEvoy, kreuzer bench jenkins and cordy
forwards. danger, beams, pav, stevie J, zorko, buddy, J darling bench nroo and couch
i have 2 trades left and 260k in the bank
thanks in advance
Obviously wait for teams as that may answer the question for you.
Upgrading Gibson given his for at the moment is only worth 20/30 pts. Is it worth the trade now. Look at your opponents match ups as that may also give you an indication of where to trade. If after looking at that and you think you can still win hold for finals and then go for broke.

Ringo/any others who care to comment, prelim final trade decision:
The team I'm playing has identical defender and rucks to me so fwds/mids will decide it. Here's mine:
Mid: Ablett, Pendles, Jelwood, Boyd, Thompson, Priddis (Adams, Gibson)
Fwd: Buddy, Pav, Danger, Sidey, Zorko, Chappy, Martin (Elliot, Murdoch)
Theirs (as of round 21, changes unknown)
Mid: Ablett, Pendles, Watson, Mitchell, Rockliff, Gibson (Miles, Baguley)
Fwd: Buddy, Pav, Danger, Sidey, Zorko, Beams, Jpod (5fer, Couch)
Bold players the same. I'll take a speculative punt and say the only trades that might happen in their team are a Gibson upgrade if anything at all. I wouldn't change those fwds and leave Gibson as an M6. But no idea if they can even trade. I would back my unique mids over theirs, but anything could happen there. Would probably back Jpod and Beams over Chappy and Martin. So, my questions is this:
With 2 trades and $57,000 left, I was planning to get rid of Franklin. However, seeing as he is in both our teams, I'm now thinking I use my last two trades to go Hargrave (def) -> rookie and Martin -> Beams. The only other iffy player in my team is I have Giles as Ruck 2, but he is in 3/4 teams in the finals now and is performing at the moment. Good trade? Will wait for teams obviously but is that a good option?
Ok So I posted this earlier this week, now thinking of different plans with Selwood out.
Option 1: Hargrave to rookie, Gibson to Beams. Play Beams in place of Jelwood this week, then next week use DPP to put Beams into fwds for either Martin or Zorko (probably Martin).
Option 2: The original, Hargrave to rookie, Dustbin to Beams, and play Gibson in place of Jelwood. Means I eliminate a potentially match losing score from Dustbin, and opponent has Gibson on field so that shouldn't cost me.
EDIT: Or option 3 I just noticed: Elliot to DPP rookie, Gibson to Beams. Beams covers Jelwood, then Beams can swap with the rookie next week, gives me DPP bench link on mid/fwd bench... Similar to 1 with bench swap benefits...
All cases the risk is a late fwd withdrawal, as Elliot is not playing and Murdoch is on extended bench, may not play. Option 2 seems more secure for this weeks game, guess the question really is who is worth more for final, Dustbin DPP as a bench cover (albeit a rollercoaster one) or Gibson as mid only?

What do you think of this
Elliott to Couch
Adams to Beams think you can afford that if I have done the sums right.
If there is a late forward out Switch Beams back to the forwards and play Gibson. Keeping Gibson allows a strong Bench for next week. Then you can also swap Beams and Martin next week and play Gibson.

Hey Ringo,
With N Roo not in I reckon he will trade him out for Beams to match me.
Should I still hold ? With Jolly not playing I reckon cox will go alright for him as well.
Any further thoughts ?
Cheers

Still favour you because if he brings in Beams it will be ROK v Fyfe so close to line ball here but you are in front overall. Know on paper and anything can happen. If you both have Giles a possible POD for you to consider is Giles to Goldstein. Not necessary but an option.

Nope, come up about 100k short on that! Adams + Elliot + 57000 is about 700,000 - Beams is most of that. I think the only realistic swap options for Beams are Gibson, Martin or Zorko, kinda wrote off zorko as he's in both teams and is doing better than martin anyway... The other two teams in the other prelim both have dusty so I don't think its a risk for next week, just wondering if he could cost me this week?
If I trade Gibson to Beams, it's Rockliff, Watson, Mitchell, Gibson and Stevie J (him) vs Boyd, Thompson, Priddis, Chappy, Martin (me).
If I trade Dusty, it's Rockliff, Watson, Mitchell, Stevie J vs Boyd, Thompson, Priddis, Chappy.
number 2 gives me a beter shot I reckon...

Yeah tough one. If he has trades I reckon he will go all out and use them. He will want revenge as I beat him in the final last year.
Just hope Watson has a quiet one and Crowley doesn't play as it could be curtains for me.

Should not try and do maths after a hard day at work. I agree with you Option 2 is the best Option as Stevie J v Martin may cost you the match.

1 Trade $47,000
Hold or Trade?
SELWOOD - MURPHY (or anyone cheaper than him...)
Gibson provides good cover but Murphy's points difference may be critical. I'm almost certain my opponent is out of trades his POD's are below in bold.

Mid: Kennedy, Fyfe (Priddis, Montagna)

I am not sure who to start out of Zorko and Martin as my 7th forward this week. I am also not confident in the Heath Shaw move just in case he is a late withdrawal or does not play next week. Should I bring someone else in ahead of Shaw?

I would offer up Hurn as an option - bit inconsistent but ceiling is good and reasonable POD if you're worried about Heater's health status ... ??
G'day Ringo
I promise I won't bother you anymore after this week for your suggestions.
Here is my grand final set up. 1 trade left and only $10k.
Him. Vs. Me
Birchall. Suckling
Selwood. Boyd
Kreuzer. Giles
Mumford. Maric
Steve J. Harvey
Lewis. Zorko
Could be in trouble. Only real option I can think
of is Giles to Sandi and try and win it in the rucks.
What do u think?
If you could go Giles to Sandi I would do. Sandi up against a returning Jamar will dominate.
