Hey fellas ! I need a bit of advice on my trade plan !
Birchall, Gibbs, Goddard, Goodes, Staker, Docherty ( Thurlow, Colq )
Ablett, JPK, Swan, Cotchin, Murphy, O'Meara, Kmartin, TMitchell ( Crouch , Hrovat )
Cox, Naitanui ( Witts, Nicholls )
JJK, Zorko, Franklin, Rockliff, Stevie J, Macaffer ( Daniher, Garner )
Trades prior to this round - 15
192k left.
Rd12
Rowe > Nicholls
Rd 13
O'Meara > Jack
Crouch > Rookie
Macaffer > Minson ( Via Nic Nat )
How does this sound ? Any better ideas, please comment.
Cheers.
Bump :P Any thoughts ?
I'd consider burning a trade on Garner to Hitchcock just to have another rookie playing and making you money, I dunno the rest looks decent tho
I'm not sure whether it's because it's late or what but you've got me completely stumped.
Garner. Wow!
Might as well get rid of Crouch now that he isn't selected. But you've got all the cheap rookies with low BE's already.
And you don't have enough cash to get a premium.
Garner.
Maybe Crouch out - move Zorko to mid.
JJK out and grab Walker and Hitchcock.
Gives you 18/19 playing.
Then prior to round 13 get rid of Macaffer, O'Meara and maybe Colquhoun / Garner to bring in players who play.
Tough challenge.
I am Like Doc - Just wondering what can be done for this team. With 15 trades left though there is some hope.
Round 12
Rowe to Nichols
Crouch to Hitchcock
JJK to Walker or Roughead
Round 13
Depending on Cash
O/Meara to Prem
McAffer to MInson as suggested
Round 14
Garner to Oxley creating DPP with Staker.
Yeah thanks fellas ! My team is a bit of a disaster due to stupid decisions and less care at the start of the year. Cheer to you all.
With 15 trades left you should be able to get a full team of premiums and be pretty competitive.
A few POD's is what you have! ;D
Slowly turn that ship around!

I know far out ! I was so annoyed, blues just can't play a full four quarters. Turning into North ::)
But yes umpires were pathetic. Made very angry at times. Plus now Murphy is out :(
Adds to my trade troubles. What do you think I should do ?
Post that POD of a team for us binny and once again, sorry for dressing our Doctor in that Blues outfit. ;)
There are some solid options for Murph this week. Double upgrade with O'Meara and Murph will be looking good depending on your cash situation
This week I'm thinking of doing two upgrades and one downgrade:
Macaffer > Goldy ( Via Nic Nat )
Murphy > Selwood
Crouch > Wilson
Leaving me with 11 trades and 156k in the bank.
Then next week:
O'Meara > Jack.
Leaving me with
D- Goddard, Gibbs, Birchall, Goodes, Staker, Docherty. Thurlow, Wilson.
M- Ablett, Swan, Cotchin, JPK, Jack, Selwood, Martin, Mitchell. Hrovat, Colq.
R- Cox, Goldy. Nicholls, Witts.
F- Johnson, Nic Nat, Rocky, Zorko, Franklin, JJK. Daniher, Garner
I would like to get Hanley in somehow then. Thoughts and advice to do this ?
Thanks
How much cash will you have after O'Meara to Jack.
Do you need to do Crouch to Wilson this week as Crouch's value will not change and Wilson not on bubble? Instead of Wilson is it possible to go Crouch to Hanley next week when Hanley drops a little bit more.

To go- O'Meara > Jack I need to do the Wilson downgrade which I will do next week as you suggest.
Once I've done those two trades I will only have about 15k :-\
With 10 trades and 4 more upgrades to do. :( ( Excluding Goodes, who I've decided to keep. )
What do you reckon mate ?
Team is strong except for defence which we know and with 2 upgrades required in mids,
Need to plan your upgrades/downgrades so as to use minimum trades. You will need four for finals imo.

Alright thanks for the advice mate ! Cheered you :) Yeah I'm hoping I can get the team done.
Martin, Mitchell, Nicholls and Hrovat should all make very decent cash :)
They will be critical in finishing off my team along with the JS of my defender rookies.
Hey boys ! :)

11 Trades - $156,400 left
What do you all reckon I should do this week ?
I have looked at this thread a few times and I am stumped on what to do. 3 midfield spots to upgrade, at least 2 defender spots to upgrade, not a ton of cash and 11 trades. I think the first thing I would look at if I was you is Thurlow to Clisby if he plays this week to free up some more cash. Then look at going O'Meara to the cheapest possible premium option that will rise back up in price. Sam Mitchell, Swallow, Boyd and Watson are the options here. Watson the most expensive and most proven, Mitchell the cheapest off a poor week. It is pretty much a week by week proposition trying to get that back half and midfield at its most effective.
Yeah I know, it's a bit of a struggle but Ill see what I can do.
This week, I'm going:
O'Meara > Watson
Might just wait on Thurlow and pray his named but its unlikely.
It is an interesting predicament. You don't have much security with your bottom defender as you have 3 guys who could be in and out of the team. When teams are announced that might be the best time to look at it.
Hey mate, team is not bad juts a few upgrades in defence and mids !
I would go. O'Meara - Boyd ( Next two matches are melbourne and Gws )
And Thurlow to clisby
In a week or so
Kmart - Hunter and Staker - Shaw or someone !
Similar to Matt I have been trying to work out something that will advantage team. Sorry to be a little blunt but with having dead wood in Colq, Garner, Witts a little hard to gain cash without sideways moves and with only a few Rookies making cash a little hard.
Like the O'Meara to Watson move but will deplete cash.
If Thurlow not named would look at Thurlow to Clisby if named.
Still need 2 upgrades in Defence and Mids,
Alright Cheers guys.
I might just have to sit tight until some of my rookies make more money.
Cheered all of you :)
Joey or Mitchell as bargain options
Hmm I'm not convinced with Joey and Mitchell. Is Fyfe a good option with Barlow out ?

11 Trades - $156,400 left
What do you all reckon I should do this week ?
I would sit this week.
O'Meara is set to increase about $18000.
Daniher, Nicholls, Martin, Mitchell and Wilson will eventually make you a fortune. A lot more than any premium will rise.
My point being, unless you are absolutely desperate for a few extra points this very week, you'll be better wating for your cash cows to rise in price, making premium targets more affordable.
The only premium with a significant price rise predicted this week is H Shaw.
I'd sit.
Cheers
Fyfes scores this season: 96, 127, 129, 103, 93, 111, 128, 108, 77, 131
Montangas scores this season: 98, 102, 114, 111, 125, 81, 137, 134, 67, 115, 143
The 67 was in the North game where as a team the Saints were completely dominated. There is not much of a difference between the 2 in terms of scoring and price. You would expect Fyfe to get more attention with Barlow out.
Alright thanks mate !
Got one more night to weigh my choices.
Fyfe does have a sweet finals draw.
Joey slightly more consistent but tough finals draw.
I shall start a poll !
I'll cheer you every hr for the next day for putting in the effort to help out :)
What to do about Birchall ?
Trade Birch, I also have him but a PCL injury is 4-6 weeks maybe more. Hampson did his against the Pies last year around this time and was out for the season. You would expect the Hawks to ease him back.
Ouch ! That hurts. Who do you think are good options ?
Plus I'll hold the other trade for now as O'Meara is going to make money anyway.
Looking at the guys I am targeting, Houli, Malceski, Hanley, Trent McKenzie and a couple of others. You don't have Hibberd, he could be an option
Alright after some playing around with trades and a little calculating, I have a rough trade plan. I know injuries and other issues may get in the way but if they don't here is the plan.
Rd 14-
Birchall > Ibbotson
Thurlow/Docherty > Clisby ( Depends on who is named. )
$196,200 left
Rd 15-
O'Meara > Watson
Docherty > Hunter
$173,290 left
Rd 16-
Staker > Hanley
Martin > Murphy ( If his back or hold until he is or other cheap premo. )
This will leave me with-
5 Trades
D- Goddard Gibbs Ibbotson Hanley Goodes Wilson. Clisby Colq
M- Ablett Swan JPK Selwood Watson Cotchin Murphy Mitchell. Hunter Hrovat
R- Cox Goldy. Nicholls, Witts.
F- StevieJ Naitanui Rockliff Franklin Zorko JJK. Daniher Garner
Leaves me with Mitchell at M8 and Wilson who must be dealt with at D6.
Not the greatest team but the best I can probably do thanks to my stupid decisions at the start of the year.
Thoughts ? :)

Looks nice mate ! Murthy wil drop a lot which is good for you and I would go cannon over ibbo
Thanks man ! Yeah been thinking bout Mckenzie. Could really fire for the rest of the season. Cheer for you.
Wait a week before you jump on Clisby.
Wait a while before you dump Thurlow.
Consider just Birchall for ??? this week. I'd look at Shaw as well. Or Ibbo.
The week after get the $96000 Clisby if named in for Docherty or Thurlow for a quick > $100000 cash injection.
By then O'Meara becomes Griffen. 8 trades left.
Hunter the week after for whoever has peaked to pocket cash again.
Then with last 7 trades look at 3 super cheapies like Grimley, Oxley, Frost, McBean etc etc etc or even a bubble boy by then to cash in guys like Nicholls, Martin, Daniher, Hrovat, Thurlow etc
And get 3 of Hanley, Pendles, Danger or Ibbo.
Leaves you one trade and one premium down in defence.
Thanks heaps Doc ! Always handing out top advice. Cheer for you :)
Any other thoughts fellas ?
Would love some advice :)
I would be careful with Clisby. I would also give it a week. I also think there are cheaper potentially better options then Ibbotson around. I was considering him in my draft team after his first game back, went and had a look at his scores from years past and way to many sub 50 and even sub 40 scores for my liking. Considering he is also their best lock down small defender I wouldn't touch him
Hmmm interesting ! Shall I go for the Cannon and pocket the extra 30k ?
Cannon is my pick of the bunch. Cannon, Heppell, Malceski, Houli are the top 4 that I don't have and I am considering. I will pass on anything Freo related in terms of SC, they generally find ways to burn people in the past. Defenders are a crapshoot this year, I would say that you at least get a decent score from Cannon this week. Adelaide were happy to let Lids run behind the ball free for a half, I can see Cannon doing the same. I am not sure how he will cope with a forward tag when it comes but Coast have a reasonably soft draw.
Thanks mate ! Going with THE CANNON. Helps me get Pendles > Murphy too :)
Gave you a cheer. Other than that does the plan look decent ?
Big man Garner is in
Need some advice on what to do.
9 Trades - 229k in the bank.

Was thinking- Next week-
O'Meara > Watson. Staker > Hanley
Docherty > Hunter ( If named. )
Thoughts ?
Bump :P
I would be looking at keeping O'Meara atm as his B/e this week is only 50 so will make more cash.
The issue with your team is the number of players/rookies not getting games Colq, Garner, Danniher, Wilson who have negative B/e for when they play and then the likes of O'Meara, Nicholls, Martin and Hrovat who are playing and also have low B.e and making money. Even Docherty has a 16 B/e. Not the ideal situation but unless you have to win to stay in the 8 I would hold until cows have fattened more and this may allow straight swaps.

Yeah good point Ringo !
My next three league games are quite easy and then I finish off with a difficult one so I may just hold.
How does this trade plan sound ?
Rd 15-O'Meara > Watson
Rd 16-Staker > Hanley
Docherty > Arnot or whoever ( Via Colq )
Rd 17- Martin > Pendles or best premium I can afford.
Nicholls > McBean
Rd 18-Wilson > Yarran
Leaves with this team and 3 trades left.
D- Goddard Gibbs Mckenzie Hanley Goodes Yarran. Clisby Colq
M- Ablett Pendles Watson Swan JPK Selwood Cotchin Mitchell. Arnot Hrovat
R- Cox Goldy. McBean, Witts.
F- StevieJ Naitanui Rockliff Franklin Zorko JJK. Daniher Garner.
Like I said in the other thread, Yarran is obviously dependant on if he survives the vest in the next few weeks, I'd prefer Duffy.
Like Ringo I'd want to keep O'Meara for a bit longer and probably trade Goodes instead.
Anyway you've already heard all this from me already haha
Haha I would love to trade Goodes for a top premo but I think I shouldn't waste the trade because my opponents are easy so I can handle a rookie score or even a donut.
Yarran is not a definite pick but I reckon he will shake the vest and finish strong. If the Duffman is cheap enough will probably take him.
Take out his sub and injury games and his averaging a tidy 85.
Thanks Roo ! Advice is always appreciated. :)
I would like to get my team as close to complete as I can come finals. What should I do?
Running Goodes and TMitchell as D6 and M8 for the year.
Cash left - 123k. Trades - 8
D- Goddard Gibbs Mckenzie Goodes Staker Clisby. Docherty Wilson.
M- Ablett Swan Watson JPK Selwood Cotchin TMitchell Hrovat. KMart Colq.
R- Cox Goldy. Nicholls Witts.
F- NicNat StevieJ Rocky Zorko Franklin JJK. Daniher Garner.
Was thinking-
Staker > Hanley
Watson > Jack
I know it's early on Staker but I want to get Hanley in.
What you think ?
Griffen somehow.
Can you wait a week and hold Watson and then get rid of Witts for McBean to generate cash to help get Griffen.
Hmmm..I think Griffen will be beyond my budget.
I was thinking after doing the trades I said.
Eventually when Nicholls is maxed out he becomes McBean. Then I go Kmart > Pendles or Danger.
Then Docherty > Whoever - Clisby/Wilson > Duffield
Leaving me with- 2 trades left.
D- Goddard Gibbs Hanley Mckenzie Duffield Goodes. Rookie, Clisby.
M- Ablett Danger/Pendles Swan Jack JPK Selwood Cotchin TMitchell. Hrovat Colq.
R- Goldy Cox. McBean Witts.
F- NicNat StevieJ Zorko Rocky Franklin JJK. Daniher Garner.
Any other thoughts ? :)
Get McKenzie again. ;)
You just trade him out then back in again - you know you want to.

I think thats the way to go ! Can't see a better way to use two trades.
HAHHAA !
I voted for you in personality of the year mate ;D
Hey Vinny,
How many trades u planning to take into finals?
Hey mate !
The way I'm going - I'll have 2 but it will leave me with a finished team.
I reckon 2 will be popular...and we all thought 30 trades would be heaps! ::)
Haha hopefully :P
The real issue is this is my first year. So I didn't know how to play SC or really care so I had no emergencies and has 250 on the bench for the first few weeks. It's embarrassing but I did the worst sideway trades with Shaw Roughy and more...
And THEN one of my mates told me about FF at about Round 5 ;D Been a rescue mission since hahaha.
Hence having Big GARNER!
Hey boys, I got jobe in last week "groan" and wondering hold or trade. I've got 4 trades left and 140k with T Mitchell bench cover. I'm sitting top of the league 1 game clear. 4 games to go against top 8 sides who r flying.
Really want to hold this week!! Wise or stoopid??
Sooooo what did u end up doing trade wise this week??
Held firm.
Watson can wait and Griffen will drop a bit looking at his BE.
Low on trades as usual.
:o
Who are we talking about guys ?
If me -
I went Watson and Staker for Jack and Hanley :P
We are talking about YOU!!
Gotta love dangerfield score!!!
Oh Hahaha :P
Solid 6 point loss from Staker > Hanley...
Hey Fellas !
Here's the current team-
D- Goddard Gibbs Hanley Mckenzie Goodes Docherty. Wilson, Clisby.
M- Ablett Swan Jack JPK Selwood Cotchin TMitchel Hrovatl. KMart Colq.
R- Goldy Nicholls. Witts Moller.
F- Cox StevieJ Zorko Rocky Franklin JJK. Daniher Garner.
404k left and 5 trades left.
Was thinking-
Goodes > Grimes
Docherty > Pendles
Leaves me with - 3 trades and 1 upgrade ( TMitchell as M8 )
D- Goddard Gibbs Hanley Mckenzie Grimes Clisby Colq Wilson.
M- Ablett Pendles Swan Jack JPK Selwood Cotchin TMitchell. Hrovat KMart.
R- Goldy Nicholls. Witts Moller
F- Cox StevieJ Zorko Rocky Franklin JJK. Daniher Garner.
Thoughts ? Any better ideas.
Very solid trades mate, lock them in.
Like you've said we're both getting on Grimes, as he's dirt cheap and has a great draw (even though he is at Melbourne) and could average 85-95 for the rest of the year.
Pendles is the second best scorer in the game, so he's a MUST. 3 trades should just be enough mate, but you'd need to hold until finals for that final upgrade.
I'm very impressed with your team for a first year player mate! I myself am in my third year, and you did a lot better than I ever did.
Well done and good luck for the rest of the year mate.
Make sure you make use of your favourable draw as well in your league haha ;)
Thanks heaps mate ! Always can count on you for advice. Will be cheering you every hour I can from now. :)
Hopefully as you said Grimes can keep a solid avg for the year and as for Pendles. Well his Pendles.
Haha cheers - Hope I can improve next year.
Thanks again - The advice is very helpful. Good luck to you too.
No worries mate, you've been a massive help to everyone on FF. As will I, you deserve it.
You'll definitely improve next year mate, as you know all the players well enough now and about choosing the right rookies, which is the most important aspect of creating yourself a good team.
Thanks mate :)
Thanks man ! :)
Keep it up Bud.as stated team still looks pretty damn good for a 1st timer.rememberd mine in my debut year in 08..no idea lol players like jake king,Darren glass,Schneider,Kosi.. Ill never forget it!
Haha thanks mate ! If I was to say the stupidest thing I've done - It would be starting with KMart Daniher and Garner ;D
Very Well done and great team for first year. My First year was shocking as well ended up 75K in 2010 which was my first year.
Pendles is a must at this stage of the season so trades you suggested are good. just the usual injury concern over Grimes and hoping he is not used as a tagger from now on. (Nicholson is Dees usual tagger but Grimes tagged Rich on Saturday night),
Thanks Ringo ! Your advice has been very handy mate :)
Glad to get Pendles in finally haha - Yeah just gotta hope he can keep an avg of at least 85 and the tagging was a one off.
Alright so I have made Top 8 in my main league and missed out just for Top 4 by %.
Now it's a must win, what would you do ?
2 Trades and 186k.
D- Goddard Gibbs Mckenzie Hanley Grimes Clisby. Wilson Colq ( MID/FWD )
M- Ablett Pendles Swan Selwood Jack JPK Cotchin TMitchell. Hrovat KMart
R- Goldy Nicholls. Grundy Moller.
F- StevieJ Cox JJK Rocky Zorko Franklin. Daniher Garner.
Zorko > Wellingham ??

Quote from: roo boys! on August 05, 2013, 05:34:19 PM
I had 17 North players in my first season...Adam Simpson was my captain
I used to basically have the entire Carlton midfield :P
This was going back a long way, probably 04 or 05 when the comp first started up. I remember reading the by stats thing and seeing that the Blues had the highest scoring midfield in SC. I ended up putting all our gun mids in (Stevens, Scotland, Kouta at the time). I started late my first season, so no chance of finals or any of that, it was just me scoring against myself. I remember think 1800 was a good score and now I am pissed with a 2200 haha. How the times have changed
Now for your question Vinny,
Give Mitchell a week to bounce back, with only two trades you need to be careful and make sure they are both good upgrades. I would look at upgrading Clisby if you can to a defender but you might screw yourself over without much cash. The other option is you role with Mitchell, downgrade Martin or Hrovat to Grigg from Adelaide and then upgrade your last defender and leave Wilson or Clisby for cover.
Hahaha. You all have these stories.
And then theres mine...started the year with Daniher KMart Garner and no Pendles ;D
Thanks Matt. Yeah I think I will role with Mitchell. Surely he won't get tagged week in week out in the Swans crazy midfield.
I did some thinking and I have these two combinations.
Out - KMart Buddy In - Bartel Scotland. ( Keeping Zorko )
OR
Out- KMart Zorko. In- Wellingham Hibberd/Adcock ( Keeping Buddy. )
What you think :)
Of those options I prefer Buddy's run compared to Zorko. Putting the players up head to head I look at it like this
Zorko Buddy - Buddy wins
Bartel Wellingham - Bartel wins
Scotland Hibberd/Adcock draw as Hibberd is fairly consistent and if Scotty sees a role change he might not score as well.
Bartel should not be rested hopefully, but I would be slightly leaning towards option 2
With Mitchell showing some signs of slowing down and being played as a forward last week need to consider him as well.
Look at this weeks Draw
Buddy playing Saints -
Zorko playing Richmond
Swans playing Pies.
Need to ascertain which 2 of the three you think will score the most and then trade. Only do this after assessing your opponents team and then trade to gain an advantage if required. Bench is week on all lines so if you can hold those trades all the better but no point in not trading if you go out in first week. Go with gut on whether to trade or not.
Thanks heaps guys. Cheered you both again :)
Yes I have a decent opponent this week but feel I can beat him. I may just grab Scotland this week as his BE is -13
Then hold on the last trade until next week. Hoping Buddy doesn't drop to much and Bartel doesn't rise too much.
Hope Zorko doesn't cost me too much.
