Thinking...
Caddy > Fasolo
Leuenberger > Cox
Only leaves with a lousy $1000 though. Or should I downgrade to a Hampson, West, McIntosh, Simpson, etc. to make a little cash?
I'd love your thoughts guys!
This team seems to have very few problems - a rarity indeed.
Don't worry about the cash stash - your rookies are all making for you.
Lloyd is a great target if he performs this week.
Cox or maybe Jacobs - I personally couldn't do Jacobs again though. Also his round 8 bye is a worry if you add both Fasolo and Lloyd over the next two weeks.
What are you ranked?
Cheers Doc, not ranked great mate, only early 20s at this stage.
Nice Team with not a real lot wrong.
Wait for teams to be announced but I would do Berger to Hampson - Has a low B/e and will make cash for you till Maric comes back.
I would then go Thurlow to Currie for extra ruck coverage. Currie will also make cash for you.
Next Week Rohan to Lloyd and Caddy to a prem forward that you can afford
Leaves you with 24 trades to watch cows mooooooo and then upgrade.
Thanks Ringo, makes sense, I've been worried about the rucks/ backup.
I have a sneaking suspicion your boys will knock us off this week, up there on your home turf.
Bit worried mate, the 'Berger to Hampson and Thurlow to Currie trade' only leaves me with $57,000.
Won't both, Rohan and Caddy, lose money this week?
That is the risk you have to decide get rid of 2 falling players or strengthen rucks. Not easy but go with gut as to what is best long term for team. Remember the saying short term pain for long term gain.
Ah, you're a wise man Ringo (hence the title of Veteran Coach ha ha.)
2177, ok. Played Aish instead of Crouch, probably should have grabbed Fasolo. Oh well, that's footy!

leave ellis, they said he might play.
and Tyson should be ok.
Caddy/Rohan/ is a main issue.
how bout, Caddy to Lloyd and Tyson/Aish to Gray/Roberston.
you'll have a lot of money for upgrades.
check out my team (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88757.msg1354064.html#msg1354064)
Cheers Keeper.
I'll have a look mate, but there's not a lot I a training scout can say to a coach.
Any advice is welcome mate
How about...
Caddy > Lloyd
Ellis > Swan
Swan will only go up about $10k so if you need the money for future upgrades upgrading to swanny can wait
I just figure why not get him now, I don't really care about the byes...
2066, not good. Played Crouch instead of Tyson, Lloyd not Kennedy-Harris, however, Aish was great!

Dunstan > Watson/ Zorko

Only leaves me with $65,000 max.
What do ya' reckon guys?
Or, should I be considering Cutler, Gardiner, etc...
i like dustan > watson
Swallow is fully priced. So can wait but it is killing me not having him too. You could downgrade Laidler to cutler to free up some more cash for the bye upgrades. Team looks in good shape though. Aish will make a heap over the next 2 so could upgrade him through the byes.
Cheers Carn, you wouldn't downgrade McDonald?
McDonald/ Laidler > Cutler
Dunstan > Watson
Any suggestions guys?

McD to Cutler
Dunstan to Watson are good trades.
Thanks mate, it'll leave me with 22 trades and $346,000, so fingers crossed, I should be right ha ha...
Or should I go...
Laidler > Cutler/ Gardiner
McDonald > McVeigh
Ha ha, I'm now looking at:
Dunstan > Hallahan
Rohan > Zorko
What do you think guys?
Sounds OK Just ensure Hallahan suits you bye structure though if you plan on maximising his price rise.
Zorko is a good trade but I am biased about him if you have followed all my posts on him.
Thanks Ringo, gathered you love Zorko.
Who would you trade out of McDonald (should make BE) vs Laidler (still a bit of money to make) this week, real toss of the coin....
McDonald is closer to ceiling than Laidler and with the bye next week as well I would trade McDonald. Just check to make sure it suits your bye situation though. Need to consider the byes now for the next 3 weeks to ensure you have 18 players.
Thanks again Ringo, to be honest, I'm not too fussed about the byes.
I just can't decide on which line to fix?
2441, very happy, apart from Mitchell.

Does Mitchell have to go this week (McVeigh, Hibberd, etc.) or how about getting Swallow next week?
Should I keep Hampson? Crouch has to go... Acres, Hallahan or Hartung?
Well if you have the cash to go for Mcveigh then go for it. Also look at Birchall, since Smitch is gone, Birchall might have a better run and could score better. I'd look at Crouch to Hartung Which will free up alot of cash. Then with the cash left might upgrade one of your rookies.
Thanks mate. Thinking...

This week:

Laidler/ Suckling > Bartel
Rohan is a big worry!
Leaves me with 19 trades and a minimum of $200,000, depending on the Bartel trade.
Love your thoughts guys...
I'm stumped lads, any suggestions?
Looks good.
As an alternative and not sure whether you have enough to do this.
Mitchell to Bartell
Robertson to Swallow via Langdon
Aish to Acres - (Aish has a high B/e as well and with the bye as well next week).
On the watch list for downgrades Shenton (gives you DPP), Morabito, Claye Beams, Charlie Cameron.
Next week some more upgrades.
BTW you are not alone with this weeks trades doing your head in.
Thanks Ringo, really good stuff, I had overlooked Aish's 99. Leaves me $300,000, too.
Looking forward to watching Lennon play soon.

This week:
JKH > Cameron
Crouch > Selwood
Hampson > Jacobs/ Minson/ Goldstein/ Cox
Leaves me with 16 trades and a measly $88,000.
or
JKH > Cameron
Hampson >Jacobs/ Minson/ Goldstein/ Cox
Laidler > Hurn/ Jaensch
Which leaves me with $240,000.
Any suggestions lads?
Pic looks good ;)
I reckon I'll be doing JKH to Cameron this week as well
Crouch to Jelwood is a great trade, I got Jelwood last week, very happy with him so far haha
I'm also doing Hampson to Goldy this week (or possibly Minson). I'm just too scared of Jacobs after last year, and also his opposition rucks have been extremely easy this year, and I think he may struggle over the next 2 months
Can you do;
Crouch-->Jelwood
Hampson-->Goldy
Suckling-->Hurn
Then get Cameron next week?

Can you do Laidler to Jelwood and the other 2 trades that GL mentioned?
Gives you an extra player this week. Laidler is burning cash now and probably needs to go.
Thanks Lions and Kirky.
Unfortunately not boys, $50K short.

Thanks Lions and Kirky.

JKH to Cameron
Laidler to Jelwood
Hampson to Goldy/Minson
then to Suckling to Hurn next week. You should be able to afford that, means you will have 19 this week if I am correct.
Cheers Kirky!
JKH > Cameron
Laidler > Selwood
Hampson > Minson
Great, leaves me with $100,000.
(http://i.gyazo.com/c4b6f494d8ac11e7072931767f68dacc.png)
16 trades, $100,000
Thinking...
Crouch (B/E 79) to Shenton
Polec to McVeigh (via Langdon)
Is Suckling good enough for D6 with Enright in defence as well?
Atm he is mate. Need to upgrade all your onfield rookies first, then look at upgrading Suckling
Thanks Ric, a bit of work to do...
(http://i.gyazo.com/c4b6f494d8ac11e7072931767f68dacc.png)
Crouch > Shenton

I reckon Tyson can cement his place at M8...
Good trades, guys?

Solid trades with Fyfe and Shenton (DPP). Forward line needs tweaking but good. Are you going to trade Acres, he's out for a month?
Cheers Gords, yeah, forward line needs some work.
I can't really afford to waste a trade on Acres until the need arises, how about you mate?
Yeh Donnie they are both nice trades
(http://i.gyazo.com/5ceb25ae1e38e7f37fdf335eb2e991e1.png)
14 trades, $82,000
Time to remove Roughie?
Keep Tyson a couple more?
Tyson > Beams
Rohan > Zorko/ Pav/ Buddy/ Tex
You could hold for a week mate. Tyson's BE is only 78 and then you can look at O'Brien when he is on the bubble
Thanks again Ric, just worried Macaffer might get him...
Yeh true. Surely teams will start looking to tag him soon
Any other thoughts/suggestions Ric, you're the legend coach after all, ha ha...
haha doesn't mean I'm always right though man
How about Langdon to Jaensch and Cutler to Litherland.
IF Litherland is named he has a BE of -58 and expected to jump 46k next week.
Then next week Acres to O'brien and Lloyd to Zorko
That will leave just Tyson to upgrade which is nearly a sideways trade anyway
In fact... In 2 weeks time, Steve Johnson could cost the same as Tyson
Nice Ric, I like Jaensch and Litherland.
Georgiou/ Cutler > Litherland
Acres > Beams/ O'Brien
My bench is really weak...
Or, how about...
Cutler > Litherland
Lloyd > Tex
Would leave me with 12 trades, $20,000
yeh good trades mate
Cheers Ric. I figure Tex is risk worth taking at that price for Lloyd, who's killing me on the bench and then my forwards are kinda' finished...
Yeh and then you can just upgrade Langdon next week which shouldn't be too hard
Thanks again mate, yeah, you would assume he'd have a solid game against Melbourne...
(http://i.gyazo.com/c995766b09ca19ec51340bdaf4f11b8d.png)
A lot to worry about.
I guess:
Acres > O'Brien
Tyson > Stevie J
10 trades, $40,000
I'd really love your thoughts guys...
Watson to SJ and Tyson to Sloane/MMurphy/Prestia/Redden/Goddard/Barlow
Quote from: Ricochet on June 11, 2014, 09:48:31 AM
Watson to SJ and Tyson to Sloane/MMurphy/Prestia/Redden/Goddard/Barlow
Agreed. Finish that midfield
Cheers Ric and Keep.
A few of the other guys have also suggested some good options too, such as:
Watson > Stevie J
Tyson > Zorko
Next week, move Zorko forward, Higgins to premium...
(http://i.gyazo.com/c892ff909377bcb437e5babd16641552.png)
Rohan > Honeychurch ($590,000)
Higgins > Sloane/ Barlow/ Ebert/ Jack/ Goddard/ Gray
I'm stumped, what do you reckon lads?
Now looking at...
Acres > Hunt (DPP)
Higgins > $618,000 midfielder
Thoughts on Currie to Thurlow and CCameron or Rohan to SMartin? Then you have cover on both lines and it can push Higgins to the bench? Or look to upgrade one of your F7 or F8 to Wingard, again pushing Higgins to the bench to give you cover
Cheers Ric, very interesting...
So, don't finish my midfield yet?
How many trades do you have left man? Just think you need some decent cover on that fwd bench
10 trades, $158,000
Thanks mate.
Yeh ok still enough trades there. You also need to look to either upgrade Langdon, or upgrade Georgiou and push Langdon to the bench as cover. Infact that would probably be my main priority.
Ha ha, I don't have much cash mate, any suggestions...
Downgrade Higgins, I guess? McGovern, Martin?
Ok, how about:
Higgins > McGovern
Georgiou > McVeigh/ Smith/ Burgoyne/ Hibberd/ Hanley/ Mackie
Higgins > Martin
Georgiou > $516,00 defender
Still waiting for S. Mitchell to return soon, too...
Haha fair enough. How about the Cameron to SMartin and Currie to Thurlow this week, giving you ruck and fwd coverage. Then next week you can look at Litherland to Hibberd who has a big BE and should drop a bit.
Cheers Ric, makes sense, will do...
Rohan/ Cameron > Stefan Martin
Currie > Thurlow
leaves me 8 trades, $88,000 - 138,000 (depending on Rohan/ Cameron)
(http://i.gyazo.com/0eda4306a3e4085c9f8dacc4b83fe636.png)
8 trades, $88,000
Higgins-->Kersten
Langdon-->McVeigh/Eski/Hurn etc
Then look at finishing your mids next week by dropping Walker and perhaps Cameron to a premo mid and Honeychurch
Cheers Lions, great stuff, much appreciated.
Kersten looks good and it seems it's his spot to lose...
Also mate, what are your thoughts on, next week:
Litherland > Z. Jones (if named for 3rd match)
Cameron > Gray
Personally I'd just go Langdon to Jaensch mate and then have a look at Kersten next week. Although I think Geelong will give him a good run so you should be fine even if you jump on early.
Probably aim to have Higgins as F7 though if you can. He'll be great cover for the rest of the year
Thanks again for your advice Ric.
Decisions, decisions... ha ha
2618, very happy this week, like most people.

Could go Shenton to Caddy if SJ doesn't get off mate.
Cheers Ric, thanks again mate.
Now, should I just hold this week guys?
Love your thoughts...
Do you think you'll win your first final? I'd look into the matchups and see if you look like winning without making any trades
