Ringos Team Thread 2024

[Goosey]

That's a damn good score. With Lohmann injured he makes the most sense to move on. I'd probably just do him to Rozee and move Simpkin into the forward line as your F6 for now.

Agree, great round and with that one trade your looking pretty set.

Agree too, you've got plenty of DPP on the MID bench so have insurance if you need to switch to cover injury.

[Ringo]

If Salem does not get up maybe keep Lohman and do Salem to Rozee,  Could also do Lohmann to Caldwell but risky with 2 trades left however with the DPP may cover.

Just read this

Salem sustained a knock at training ahead of the North Melbourne clash and was subbed out in the last quarter, but the club is confident he will play.

I'd say it is safe he plays

[Ringo]

Ok Salem is out,

So which option should I chose:
1) Salem to Rozee
2) Lohmann to Rozee looping Freijah and Dowling
3) Lohmann to Rozee Salem to Caldwell/Ashcroft leaves 2 trades only so not desireable.

[Mat0369]

I'd go option 2

[Colliwobblers]

Yes option 2.

[arbel]

Option 2 I think yeah

[Ringo]

Tried something different with Zorko as VC,  Scored 115 which is not ideal but tempted to take it as worse case scenario lose 20/30 points. Other options are Daicos, flanders, Merrett Scott has said they will put effort into Merrett and suspect Suns may put effort into Daicos. Pendlebury and co back for Pies so that could effect his score as well.

[Ringo]

Well what a downer of a week after highs of last week.

Rd 16 Trades - Lohmann to Rozee

Rd 16 Team:



Good:Daicos, Ryan,Bontempelli, Neale, Green.Flanders, Zorko
Average:Sheezel, Stewart, Rozee. Freijah,
Bad: Dale, Gulden, Dowling, Heeney, Fisher,
Ugly: Houston, Merrett, Gawn, English, Jackson, Simpkin, Richards, Brown
Really Ugly: Succumbing to the injury concerns on Bont - Note to self if he is ever under injury cloud do not discard C or VC.

Jury still out on trade whether should have been Lohmann or Salem with Lohmann scoring 90.

Probably do nothing this week to save trades and can use DPP across all lines so long as sub disease does not strike.
Contemplated doing Salem to Caldwaell but 2 trades left the drawback although may have got additional points.

Always next year as we say each year,

[arbel]

The FWD line this year has been a shambles. Beyond the top 3 (maybe 4 now with Rankine) it is so inconsistent.
With only the 3 trades left I'd be tempted to sit and wait.

[Colliwobblers]

Probably worth holding the trades for injuries. Don't think I will but that's probably the right move.

Team has a pretty solid look to it if you switch Nick and Salem.

If Salem is out again or the time he's out is questionable, probably throw Flanders into the middle and grab Caldwell. But if he's good to go I probably wouldn't use the trade on it.

[Mat0369]

Fisher is a test for this week which explains why he was subbed and it wasn't actually 'tactical'. I feel slightly better about that because he would have had to be close to going at his price tag if he is subbed for the sake of being subbed. Salem is expected back this week, he is a hold for me as well. With 3 trades I think you just have to sit and hope.

[Ringo]

OK Fisher out so looking at 2 options with 3 trades remaining:
1) No trade using Freijah as replacement with Richards still giving emergency cover.  Assess next week if Fisher still not named as foot injries can linger.
2) Trade Fisher to Caldwell/Moore probably Caldwell and down to 2 trades,
 

[Colliwobblers]

I would only do it if you already had planned to get rid of fisher.

And if so now definitely the time with his BE. Finishes the FWD line, leaves you the two trades for injury and if no injury simpkin/salem up towards end of season...

[Mat0369]

I'd be tempted to do Fish to Caldwell but it depends on if you were looking to move him out. If it is the same issue as McKercher he missed a bunch of games but there is also no downside to holding him if you have cover.
