You jinxed it with the small miracles comment :P

I'm looking at possibly going JOM to Fisher as well, probably wouldn't go early on any of the other 3. In your case with only 487k left, Yeo may be the best option if you want to take the risk :P

fuuuuuckkk I just can't bring myself to trust Yeo. Feel like I'm chasing previous points rather than assessing who will actually be better for the remainder of the season. I actually like Tex with the best team in the comp @26-27 y/o prime for a key forward. Or Touk Miller.

I reckon I'll ditch Taranto and grab Macrae. Bonafide gem, ultra consistent, guaranteed 100ish average and a keeper. I reckon Florent and Taranto probably have a similar chance of making it back into their respective teams (or maybe I'm skewing information to my own benefit)

2216 / Danger / 14 730 / 16 277

Thought I was in for a big one after Sunday until Butler (64), Adams (78) and WHE (51) all pooed it up. Still slowly rising the rankings.

Definitely went too early on Jeager and Taranto last week but I was pretty happy with Macrae's points. Now stuck with the same Florent, Barrett, Eddy and Pickett problem though. What I would give to have Parfitt and Houston instead of a couple of those blokes.

Bringing in Balic this week, but for who? Who looks least likely to break back into their respective teams? Thinking Eddy or Pickett.

Pickett would be my choice - I am keeping barrett and Eddy at the moment for loophole pirposes especially with Brisbane having a number of late games. Bareet could also be back reasonably soon. Eddy also playing well in SANFL.

Yeah reckon you could be right Ringo. I was happy to keep Pickett whilst he was playing for the off chance that he might pump out a 70 and get a decent three week price rise but if he's not even playing there's no hope.

2040 / Danger / 25 634 / 11 891

Ablett single handedly saved me from an absolutely disgraceful week - he went from being my worst averaging mid prem to my best in one week, jesus christ.

Tried to get cute, having the possibility of loopholing Fisher if he scored well but I fk'ed it up like a moron and couldn't get Balic back onto the field after Fisher score his 30 :'(

Probably just gonna go Eddy --> Parsons this week. Not enough cash for upgrades and most of my rooks/basement players still have a bit of growth left in them.

As tempting as it is, definitely reckon I'm gonna hold Beams. Overall ranking is nice and stuff but I'd rather keep the trades and try to win my leagues. Bring in Parsons for Eddy. Balic at M8 and Parsons/Butler at F6.

It's actually very tempting to trade Butler to Parsons...

Depth/cash generation look a lot nicer with Barrett and Florent back.

My Chumps · May 05, 2017, 07:17:21 PM

Actually so tempting to go Butler ---> Parsons and Tom Stewart ---> M Hibberd.

hmmmm

Well I ended up making these trades and boy-oh-boy were they average.

Parsons went missing after the first 5 minutes and Hibberd basically didn't score after H/T. 27 disposals for 56 points seems ludicrous! #justice4hibberd

2101 / Fyfe / 12 755 / 7135

Another good week considering the circumstances, going up another 4000 places overall and breaking into the top 10k.

My score was absolutely saved by Buddy and Zac Jones on the Sunday. Jones has been a very pleasant surprise down back, now averaging 96 and the seventh best defender. Obviously selected him because I thought he would improve but this is out of sight.

JPK (and maybe Fyfe) now the only prems that aren't really performing for me. Obviously I also expect more from Danger and I'd like it if Yab could string together centuries rather than 80/90's then a huge one haha. I'm so stoked with the Dahl/Macrae and Laird/Adams combinations down back and forward.

For the upcoming week things are looking dicey with Beams and Swallow definitely out. I've also done absolutely 0 bye preparation so it could be an interesting string of weeks.

My Chumps · May 12, 2017, 07:53:38 PM

Really don't know what to do this week. Tempted to downgrade Hampton and trade Otten to Docherty but there's noone I like to downgrade to.

Should I gamble on McNeice, Long, Cox or even Mark O'Connor who's come from nowhere?

Ringo · May 12, 2017, 08:42:29 PM

Mellican and Berry still reasonable prices after price rises and both have JS.

Yeah think I might have to grab Berry considering the couple of good scores he's pulled together. I just don't know about Melican with Allir waiting in the wings. He's looked solid but Aliir offers a lot more (really we should drop Grundy but that won't happen).

If I grab Berry it just means I can't afford Docherty for Otten unfortunately. Doch should come down in price the week after this though when his 140 gets out of his system.
