For some reason my old thread has been deleted so have made this one.
Had a terrible round 6 with a score of 2,037 which has pushed my rank back to 17,098
Current team:
D: McVeigh, Mitchell, Simpson, Suckling, Mcdonald, Langdon (Langford, Georgiou)
M: Ablett, Pendles, Rocky, Beams, Polec, Tyson, Dunstan, Crouch (Robertson, Taylor)
R: Sandilands, Goldstein (Currie, Thurlow)
F: Dangerfield, Gray, Pavlich, Martin, Buddy, Fasolo (Impey, JKH)
23 trades, $173,600
I could happily rage trade Buddy out right now but it would barely seem worth it.
Will wait and see the extent of his and Fasolos injuries but hopefully none are serious.
Really trying to set up for the byes now to make some ground.
Currently have 11 round 8 players, 7 round 9 players, 12 round 10 players
Really want to grab Watson in the mids but who should I downgrade to get him?
Am thinking these trades..
McDonald > Cutler
Dunstan > Watson
I've done the dunstan>watson trade.
But unsure about cutler
Good team overall

i like those trades.
you have to build up that money quick for the byes and bring in those premos.
check out my team (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88757.msg1362016.html#msg1362016) and trade thoughts
Round 7 score of 2321 moves me up to a rank of 10,970
Current team
D: McVeigh, Mitchell, Simpson, Suckling, Cutler, Langdon (Langford, Georgiou)
M: Ablett, Pendles, Rocky, Beams, Watson, Polec, Tyson, Crouch (Robertson, Taylor)
R: Sandilands, Goldstein (Currie, Thurlow)
F: Dangerfield, Gray, Pavlich, Martin, Buddy, Fasolo (Impey, JKH)
21 trades, $112,000
Players in red either have the bye or are injured with Buddy and Langford unknown.
Any suggestions?
Are you going to hold Mitchell?
Quote from: Mat0369 on May 05, 2014, 02:43:34 AM
Are you going to hold Mitchell?
Not anymore haha. Probably will hold him this week then trade to Swallow next week
Trades for round 8
Mitchell > Burgoyne
Crouch > Hartung
Fasolo > Acres (Via Taylor)
gives me almost 500k to upgrade Tyson to Selwood and Langford for Swallow/Bartel next week
Have managed to make some really good ground over the byes and am now ranked at 2,243
Current team:
D: McVeigh, Burgoyne, Simpson, Swallow, Suckling, Langdon (Langford, Georgiou)
M: Ablett, Pendles, Rocky, Beams, Watson, Polec, Tyson, Hallahan (Robertson, Acres)
R: Sandilands, Goldstein (Currie, Thurlow)
F: Dangerfield, Gray, Pavlich, Martin, Buddy, Taylor (Impey, JKH)
17 trades, $161,100
In red are the players with the bye this week. Definitely going to need 3 trades this week to cull some of these cows!
Thinking of these trades!
Tyson > Selwood
Robertson > Hartung
JKH > Cameron
This means that I can field 19 players for round 10 and also have $361,200 for upgrades the following week where I would like to get in some cheap upgrades in Hanley down back and Goddard in the middle giving me a post bye side of
D: McVeigh, Burgoyne, Simpson, Swallow, Hanley, Suckling (Langdon, Georgiou)
M: Ablett, Pendles, Selwood, Rocky, Beams, Watson, Goddard, Hallahan (Hartung, Acres)
R: Goldstein, Sandilands (Currie, Thurlow)
F: Dangerfield, Martin, Gray, Pavlich, Buddy, Taylor (Impey, Cameron)
With 12 trades and around $180,000
Give us your thoughts?? :)
Are you able to go Georgiou to a prem defender rather than Tyson. (maybe Bartel) Tyson still has a fair bit of cash to make given recent form but your decision.
Not sol at all on Hanley this year appears underdone and possibly struggling through the back issue, His run and carry not as good as previous years which is costing SC points,

I could but that would mean missing Selwood and I have to many bye players in the midfield.
Didn't want to have to get rid of Tyson but looks like I'll have to.
Yeah I was only looking at Hanley based in his super low price but may give him a miss.
Finished the bye rounds with a score of 1,782 and a rank of 2,103.
Could have been much better if I didnt have the C on Gaz >:(
Where do I go from here?
D: McVeigh, Burgoyne, Simpson, Swallow, Suckling, Langdon (Langford, Georgiou)
M: Ablett, Pendles, Rocky, Selwood, Beams, Watson, Polec, Hallahan (Hartung, Acres)
R: Sandilands, Goldstein (Currie, Thurlow)
F: Dangerfield, Gray, Pavlich, Martin, Buddy, Taylor (Impey, Cameron)
14 trades and $361,200
Considering Suckling a keeper for now so need 1 upgrade in defence, 2 upgrades in the midfield and 1 in the forward line.
The players in red are either fattened cows or dead weight players.
Any suggestions?
Polec out is the obovious one, you could downgrade him to Shenton this week for cash, upgrade Langdon and then next week shift Taylor into the mids and upgrade him. The downgrade should hopefully give you enough cash to upgrade your final two mids in a couple of weeks.
Agree with Matt - Polec and Langdon appear to have reached ceilings, So they would be the 2 I would look at this week depending on where you want to upgrade to finish team. :eave it to you to decide,
Thanks guys. I have enough cash that I could upgrade Polec and Langdon right now to anyone really. Was thinking of
Polec > Goddard and Langdon > Jaensch which would give me plenty of cash to get Parker in the forwards the next week and hopefully SJ in the following week or 2 to complete my mids
Score of 2,443 has brought me to a rank of 1,397 which is my highest for the year :)
Current team:
D: McVeigh, Burgoyne, Simpson, Swallow, Jaensch, Suckling (Langford, Georgiou)
M: Ablett, Pendles, Rocky, Selwood, Beams, Watson, Goddard, Hallahan (Hartung, Acres)
R: Sandilands, Goldstein (Currie, Thurlow)
F: Dangerfield, Gray, Pavlich, Martin, Buddy, Taylor (Impey, Cameron)
12 trades $338,100
Possible trades:
Taylor > Parker
This trade completes my forward line and leaves me with around 100k to get SJ in for Hallahan next week. I need to find a rookie to get in for Langford though to make the necessary cash.
Any suggestions??
I would hold Langford for another week if named Quinny but up to you.
Not a lot of defensive downgrades available.
Litherland is one but bench of Georgiou and litherland looks weak. Litherland JS the issue although expect him to remain in this week.
Other options to look at are Dea from the Tigers but you would know what his JS is like; Aylett from Bombers but his JS is not good either.
Maybe look at someone like Dylan Grimes or Jake Carlisle to downgrade too as these although not high scorers will give coverage if required.
Thanks for the feedback Ringo.
Yeah I really dont see any defensive rookies popping up but need a way to make cash to complete my team.
None of my other rookies are fattened enough to make the cash. May just do Taylor > Parker this week and hope that something pops up next week
Nightmare week :( Got SJ in only for him to be a late out. That along with Beams gave me 2 donuts!
Rank slipped back to 2,917.
On a brighter note I can finish my side!
D: McVeigh, Burgoyne, Simpson, Swallow, Jaensch, Suckling (Langford, Georgiou)
M: Ablett, Pendles, Rocky, Selwood, Beams, Johnson, Goddard, Hallahan (O'brien, Acres)
R: Sandilands, Goldstein (Currie, Thurlow)
F: Dangerfield, Gray, Pavlich, Martin, Buddy, Parker (Impey, Cameron)
9 trades, $256,300
Trades:
Impey > Stefan Martin
Hallahan > Fyfe
Gives me a decent bench cover player for both forward and ruck with Thurlows dpp
Thoughts?
Nice team and trades Quinny, can't fault them.
Fyfe's an absolute gun and Stefan Martin will come in handy, much like Hampson earlier this year.
Thanks donnie, will definitely be going ahead with these trades.
Nice position as well Quinny with cash and trades.
Like the trades as I think getting Fyfe now is preferable to sorting defence.
How much cash after the trades as you will need a bit to sort out defence especially with both Langford and Georgiou not playing.

Thanks Ringo.
Will have basically no cash left after getting fyfe.
May just have to wait until a worth while defensive rookie comes along
Really good week pushed me up to 1,853
Team is finished but with poor depth so a little unsure weather to continue working on it or just sit in it for now
7 trades left, $33,600 in the bank.
D: McVeigh, Burgoyne, Simpson, Swallow, Jaensch, Suckling (Langford, Georgiou)
M: Ablett, Pendles, Rocky, Selwood, Beams, Johnson, Goddard, Fyfe (O'brien, Acres)
R: Sandilands, Goldstein (Currie, Thurlow)
F: Dangerfield, Gray, Pavlich, Martin, Buddy, Parker (S. Martin, Cameron)
Martin provIdes back up for both the rucks and forwards with thurlows DPP.
Obrien in the mids is poor cover. Would love to find a way to get Miles in their.
No cover down back
Any help appreciated!
Looks good with 7 trades man.
The team is very similar to my own. Only PODs:
McVeigh to my Bartel.
Suckling to my Hurn.
Selwood to my Murphy.
Gray to my Zorko.
Plus you've got an extra two trades on me as well plus Martin as great cover.
Probably not worth it but Langford to Zak Jones & Acres to Miles? Just a suggestion.
With 7 trades left is it worth Langford to say Weller or Laidler who will play games and pocket another 40/50k. Gives you that guaranteed defensive coverage.

Thanks mate, yeah I would really love miles but worried Zak jones will be pushed out pretty quickly.
Are there any other defensive rookies on the cusp?

Yeah I may have to look at an option like this all though I prefer miles as my mid cover than one of those guys as my defensive cover.
Don't really trust obrien as my mid cover. May be forced to do it though as there are a lack of rookies around
O'Brien only played his first full game last week and now being permanently promoted to Senior list may lift and get more game time. You can afford to keep him with his low B/e this week.
Would seriously look at Weller though as he still has a negative B/e priced at $282k and will give you at least a 60/70 average. Last 2 games against Geelong and eagles 97 and 80 and looks to have cemented place in Saints back line. Solid bench cover. Seriously considering him myself this week.
Your decision though.

I may have to get weller in.
To get miles requires me to downgrade Langdon to Zak jones but can anyone really see him lasting?
Score of 2,570 this week has me ranked at 1,664
Side is complete however I would like to eventually make some luxury trades
D: McVeigh, Burgoyne, Simpson, Swallow, Jaensch, Suckling (Jones, Georgiou)
M: Ablett, Pendles, Rocky, Selwood, Beams, Johnson, Goddard, Fyfe (Miles, O'brien)
R: Sandilands, Goldstein (Currie, Thurlow)
F: Dangerfield, Gray, Pavlich, Martin, Buddy, Parker (S. Martin, Cameron)
5 trades and $53,900
Going to find it hard to sit on my hands for a couple of weeks but would eventually like to trade
Pav to Boomer and one of Jaensch or Suckling to Mitchell
Very nice. Keep going mate.
Round 16 score of 2,367 which pushed my rank up to 1,077
Hoping to break into the top 1000 by next week.
Current team:
D: McVeigh, Burgoyne, Simpson, Swallow, Jaensch, Suckling (Jones, Georgiou)
M: Ablett, Pendles, Rocky, Selwood, Beams, Johnson, Goddard, Fyfe (Miles, O'brien)

F: Dangerfield, Gray, Pavlich, Martin, Buddy, Parker (S. Martin, Cameron)
5 trades and $53,900
It's looking like Ablett is going to have to go.
The obvious choice to me is Ablett > JPK however, Ward, Sloane and Libba are tempting too.
Where do you think I should go?
I like Gaz to JPK mate more than likely what i will do, would be nice to see one of Jaensch or Suckers get the boot aswell. Goodluck for the remainder.
Yeh I'd grab JPK as well mate. Then look at Suckers to SMitchell when he bottoms out
Yea that's exactly what I plan on doing boys ;) just have to sit on my hands until Mitchell is ready and then fingers crossed there are no further injuries to any players!
Another really solid week scoring 2500 and pushing my rank up to 759
Current team:
D: McVeigh, Burgoyne, Simpson, Swallow, Jaensch, Suckling (Jones, Georgiou)
M: Pendles, JPK, Rocky, Selwood, Beams, Johnson, Sloane, Fyfe (Miles, O'brien)
R: Sandilands, Goldstein (Currie, Thurlow)
F: Dangerfield, Gray, Pavlich, Martin, Buddy, Parker (S. Martin, Cameron)
3 trades and $135,300
Obviously low on trades but my backline needs to be addressed.
Thinking one of suckling or jaensch for Mitchell although Burgoyne is wearing thin with me as well.
Thoughts?
That's a very nice team quinny!
Mids, rucs and fwds are excellent - just the backline that is a little weak
I think Suckling to SMitch is the way to go for you. It would be awesome if you could turn Jones into Smitch, and then have Suckling as bench cover to loophole, but that would require a 2nd trade, and you don't really have any rookie worth culling, so just the one trade of Suckers to SMitch for mine

Yeah I think that's the way to go mate.
Have good bench cover for all lines except defence but hopefully there are no further injuries and eventually I can bring someone in down back for cover
I would love that team :(. But agree with RD, Smitch would be a great addition. In saying that, 3 trades and that team, I would probably hold with 6 rounds to go. Great cover bar backs, but Smitch - Suckers, while it gives you points, doesn't help back cover. Must say, your other lines are covered, so, could be worth a go. Great team mate, but Gaz scenarios and restings, who knows. As a luxury trade, it's a given
Think you definitely need SMitch in there, 2 trades should be enough to cover for LTI.
Yep suckers to smitch it is! Thanks fellas
A score of 2,525 this week and ive moved up to a rank of 619
Made pendles captain 2 weeks in a row now which has hurt me.
Current team:

F: Dangerfield, Gray, Pavlich, Martin, Buddy, Parker (S. Martin, Cameron)
2 trades and $120,200
Really happy with my side. The only player I feel like im really missing out on is Boomer.
Would also like to have some bench cover down back but hopefully no injuries there in the near future.
With 2 trades left I really should sit on this side.
Luckily im 20k short of doing Pav to boomer because I would be awfully tempted :-X
Any weaknesses you see in this side or should I just sit on it?
Nightmare round >:(
2,348 could have been so much better but copped a donut down back due to Mitchell being a late withdrawal and had to cop Pavs score because of Buddy's late withdrawal, so essentially copped 2 donuts.
Ranking slipped back a little to 672
Team leading into finals:
D: McVeigh, Burgoyne, Simpson, Swallow, Mitchell, Jaensch (Jones, Georgiou)

R: Sandilands, Goldstein (Currie, Thurlow)

2 trades and $120,200
Sweating on the availability of Mitchell, Swallow, Pavlich and Buddy but otherwise happy with my side

Hoping I don't have to use a trade this week
flower yeh nice work mate, team looks really good. Hopefully you won't have to use any trades

Yeah well SJ getting off is one in the clear!
Fyfe will play you would think considering they have a big game against the Hawks.
Should be fine this week but it's the last 2 rounds I'm worried about!
No idea how but somehow managed to move my rank up to 367 with a horrible score of 2,278
I guess most teams copped the carnage too though.
Current team:
D: McVeigh, Burgoyne, Simpson, Swallow, Mitchell, Jaensch (Jones, Georgiou)

2 trades and $120,200
Don't even know where to start..
Pendles, JPK, beams, SJ and Fyfe all done for the season or in doubt..
Amongst all the carnage and copping 2 doughnuts I somehow managed to score 2,337 and move my rank up to 258
Also through to the grandfinal in all 5 of my leagues :)
Current team:
D: McVeigh, Burgoyne, Simpson, Swallow, Mitchell, Jaensch (Jones, Georgiou)

R: Sandilands, Goldstein (Currie, Thurlow)
F: Dangerfield, Gray, Pavlich, Martin, Buddy, Parker (S. Martin, Cameron)
0 trades remaining. Think I should be pretty set! Just need one of JPK or Johnson to get up and will be able to fill a full side
Very nice man. I really really need SJ to get up as well or I'm done in my leagues lol

Haha your not wrong, it's been ridiculous
