Colliwobblers 2025

Agree, I'm leaning towards trading Tsatas instead. Won't be back for a few week so can trade out a stalled/finished rookie for him then

Round 3 Score: 1923
Round 3 Rank: 29,404
Overall Rank: 21,260

6 trades used.

Crawling in the right direction up another 5000 overall.



Likely problems to fix this week.

Neale - $60,000 down the toilet and counting.
Sheezel - $45,000 down the toilet and counting.
Paton - dead
Lindsay - injured
F O'Sullivan - stalled
Knevit - stalled and sub
Hewett - stalled and sub
Tsatas - injured

Suffice to say it's a train wreck.

Looking at:

Sheezel to Sinclair
Lindsay to Moraes (If significant time out)
Paton to Maric/Clohesy/Curtain/Erasmus


Unlikely to move Neale. dropping less than sheezel.

Maric was the main guy for kick ins and looks a must for the fwd line if that role continues. Given I still need one more in defense that is reliable to field and SOOOOOO much work to do in the midfield if Maric is named next week I'll take that punt.

Option B and probably more likely:

JHF to B Smith
Paton to B Humphry
F O'Sullivan to R Maric OR Moraes

[arbel]

I'm like you. Have so many issues to fix but not enough trades to do them all in :P

I still feel like Bice is a must have. That last quarter against Freo he was amazing and he scored a 52 in 31% TOG against the Lions. He looks like one of the best scoring rookies and there is some flexibility with DPP and the flex.

Can you do something like the following

Tsatas/O'Sullivan to Bice using Holmes
Lindsay to Moraes if he is out long term otherwise the other one of Tsatas/O'Sullivan
Can you then afford to do JHF to Sinclair?

[Colliwobblers]

Feeling like I have to play the price rise game this week.

JHF to Humphrey - Humphrey +$55k next week

Paton to B SMith - Smith + $40k next week - but regardless probable keeper.

F O'Sullivan to Moraes - Moraes + $55k next week.

The following week leaves the other two I want/need. Bice (+ $55k next week) and Maric (+ $42k next week).

$157k in the bank and Knevitt/Lindsay?/Kako/Hewett all with issues to use, will be able to do both even with their price rises if they back up and go big again.

Plan then is all the cash gen players are in place - sit - then begin the upgrades - run out of trades - wait for 2026 team picker :)

*Edit* - On my own sound reasoning, Smith should be Maric this week, and a watch on Smith and he and Bice potentially next week.

[Colliwobblers]

looks like this for round 4:

[Bully]

Humphrey is a decent bet, I considered him but had other more pressing issues. I think he could make a quick 130k, his role seems conducive to good scoring, whether he gets longevity is the only real concern but he should be fine for a few weeks.

[Mat0369]

Humphrey is that awkward price, but he is supposed to be playing the 'Dusty' role for the Suns. He should make some decent coin for you and the Suns have a pretty easy run early which should see him increase in price quickly if he keeps it up.

[Ringo]

Trying to decide Humphrey v Maric myself.

Trying to decide Humphrey v Maric myself.

If they're difficult to split grab the cheaper option, I don't see any difference with JS, for both it would be tenuous.

[Colliwobblers]

I doubt dimma is experimenting anymore reckon team is set based on performance and Humprey is certainly performing.

Maric also seems set in that role, not sure why the late start for him maybe underdone or preseason injury.

Reckon I'll have both next week. Always risky but the perfect players to get you into a fallen premium for a straight swap.

If they make the same profit as a good rookie that means they've had to score 20-30 points more than the rookie, which is handy on your field.

[Colliwobblers]

Wasn't even going to bother posting this rubbish, but for the sake of a reminder for next season.

Practically season ending week. Captain choice a shocker, but that aside , had to add them up myself after the shock of it!

Round 4 Score: 1745

Round Rank: 129,135

Overall Rank: 53,110 Down 23,706

Suffice to say will not be taking the remainder of the season with any seriousness whatsoever :)

Kinda liberating.

[Bully]

To cheer you up a bit, the byes have kept everyone roughly on par, even the leader hasn't run away with it yet. Hang in there, one week could turn things right around for you. The one suggestion I would make is getting a few mid pricers up to genuine premo, particularly in defence.

[Mat0369]

The one thing I have enjoyed after a horrendous week is just going balls to the wall and making trades on risky players I didn't have the guts to touch prior. Sometimes this pays off pretty well and you can skyrocket up the rankings.

Bice is still worth bringing in, I'd do the Freijah to Bice trade this week. I'd then use a boost and turn Callaghan into one of Merrett or if you want a POD that could backfire spectacularly, I'd grab George Hewett. Hewett is putting up 125 every week and he is back in the 2022 role with Kennedy gone. Although Voss is an idiot and I can see him making him sub or dropping him randomly in the next month. With the third trade turn NOD into O'Sullivan using Holmes for some cash gen. I think they're all pretty aggressive trades, but you're targeting some good cash cows and you bring in a gun captain choice that's also a POD. It should also leave you enough cash to get Stewart in one trade next week

The team actually looks quite good, but these kind of weeks happen unfortunately.

[Mat0369]

Soligo is another if you want to grab a POD, he has been killing it every week and locked into their mid rotation. Otherwise you could also afford Butters who is in 1% of teams
