Ringos Rocky Road 2016

nice score ringo. team is looking very good now

[Ringo]

Updated:

Trades this week
Smith to Trengove
Menadue to Jansen
Cox to Sinclair

Leaves $183k in bank.

Reasoning behinds 3rd trade Cox is virtually maxed out and starting to lose some money.  With Tippetts injury Sinclair will have strong JS has a B/e of 36. Will eventually sit at F7 as ruck coverage. Has averaged 82 over the last 3 weeks so could be sound and better scoring potential than Cox.

Assists with Round 15 bye dilema.

Round 13 update:

Round 13 Score: 2050
Round 12 Ranking: 1763
Overall Ranking: 3729 up 2957
Overall Points: 28356
Lowest Rank: 70719 Rd 2
Current Goal: Make the Top 1000 after shocking start

Trades:
Smith to Trengove
Menadue to Jansen
Cox to Sinclair

Put the VC on Selwood rather than Dangerfield but fortunately only cost 40+ points.
Sinclair experiment did not work.

Proposed trade for Rd 14
Libba to Jack Steven
Dunkley to Joyce (establishing a D/M Dpp)
Davis to Montagna

Leaving a Rd 14 Team on field:
Def: Shaw, Docherty, Bartel, Simpson, Ruggles, Collins ( Walla, McVeigh)
Mids: Danger, Jelwood, Pendles, Steven, Ablett, Sam Mitchell, Kerridge, Jansen (Joyce, Priddis, Trengove)
Rucks: Gawn Goldy (Read)
Fwds: Martin, Montagna, Wells, Robbo, Barlow, DeGoey (Sinclair, Petracca)

Next Week Petracca or Trengove to Phillips
Ruggles/Collins to Rance/Laird

Leaving a team of:
Def: Shaw, Docherty, Bartel, Simpson, McVeigh, Laird/Rance (Ruggles/Collins, Walla)
Mid: Danger, Jelwood, Pendles, Steven, Ablett, Mitchell, Priddis, Kerridge(Jansen, Joyce, Trengove/Phillips)
Rucks: Goldy, Gawn (Read)
Fwds: Martin, Montagna, Wells, Robbo, Barlow, Degoey (Sinclair, Petracca/Phillips)

7 trades with one upgrade required. Rocky or Neale for Kerridge will probably complete mids.

Redeeming my season after shocking start.

Edit If either Pendles or Wells are out have the option to bring Joyce on as well. 15 prems plus DeGoey, Wells and Kerridge playing.

[GoLions]

Are you goin to upgrade DeGoey as well? Needs more Zorko! ;D

[Ringo]

Will probably use one of my 7 trades for that (haha) but will assess. Robbo will do my Lions bias for the moment though.

[Ringo]

Round 14 update:

Round 13 Score: 1973
Round 12 Ranking: 2597
Overall Ranking: 2094 up 1635
Overall Points: 30329
Lowest Rank: 70719 Rd 2
Current Goal: Make the Top 1000 after shocking start

Trades:
Petracca to Delidio
Dunkley to Phillips
Libba to Steven

Who would have thought that 3 of my lowest scores will be Robbo (concussion), Shaw and Bartel.

Round 14 Team:


What do I do this week with only 17 players available:
1) Downgrade Davis only as Collins. Ruggles, Jansen all have low B/e and cash still to make.
2) Downgrade Davis and Ruggles to Laird/Rance
3) Downgrade Davis and Robbo/Wells to Montagna.

Been killing it lately Ringo, keep it up mate.

I personally like Option 2, but it really depends on two things. First is, who to bring in for Davis, and second is, how long Robbo will be out for.

Just a question, how many trades do you have remaining?

9 trades left before this week. Reckon I will use 4 to complete team leaving 5.  And will be watching team selections on who to bring in for Davis as a last resort Joyce if named makes it. Opens up a DPP Link as well.
trying to work out who will miss more games Robbo or Wells.

Which leaves you sitting fairly comfortably then for injury and luxury trades at the end of the year. Think Joyce holds his spot? I doubt it. But you probably won't need him to hold a spot and just need him to sit at M11 to ride out the year.
Obviously wait on Robbo but imo Wells, reason as to why I dropped him, yes he averages well but this is 3 games missed now, any sign of injury or tightness and he misses again, he is so integral to the lineup and they're gonna play finals so I think North would rather him play finals and miss out on the double chance than to ruin his body and lose him for the year altogether. He is so fragile and missed a lot of footy, we have to remember that. Maybe, they loosen his workload on ball and potentially play him up forward for longer to manage him, leading to a drop in performance output, but who knows. For me, the issue is his body not how he's playing. Your choice in the end mate.

[Ringo]

Thanks Wato - Wells to Tags leaves me with 76K.  Will wait and see what options I have for Davis.

[Ringo]

With Barlow out for a few weeks will now go Barlow to Tags for one trade.

Tossing up whether to go Wells to Jroo as a pod - Good draw and averages well against teams still to play. Could go Zerrett but do not like his draw and will be buying at peak.

Other alternative is Davis to a rook and Ruggles to Rance but Ruggles has a low B/e.

Have 18 on field before 2nd trade so could risk.

[_wato]

Don't like JRoo at all Ringo

Merrett 10 scores above 97, 11 over 90, and only two under 90? Very consistent imo.

Only has Cats Crows Dogs that look tough. Saints Tigs Suns Lions Blues on top of that.

Expect a 105+ against Eagles, kid finds his own footy

Im with Wato here, Ringo. Merrett scores no matter what. Roo suffers from key fwd syndrome.

With the trades you have, go for the jugular. Ruggles to Rance and Barlow to Merrett, wells to tags.

[Ringo]

Still 50k short of Ruggles to Rance after doing Wells to Merrett and Barlow to Tags. Rance will come in next week

Will leave my post bye team as:

Def: Docherty, Simpson, Shaw, McVeigh, Bartel, McDonald Tip (Ruggles, Collins
Mids: Danger, Ablett, Pendles, Steven, Priddis, Sam Mitchell, Selwood, Kerridge (Davis, Trengove, Jansen)
Rucks: Goldy, Gawm (Read)
Fwds: Martin, Zerrett, Montagna, Deledio, Robbo, Sinclair (De Goey, Phillips)

Kerridge to be upgraded to Sloane or similar, A defender to Rance and DeGoey to Zorko maybe to comnplete team with 3/4 trades still left.

[Ringo]

Have traded Davis to Joyce as well so now have $300k and 6 trades.

Next week all being well McDonald Tip to Rance/Laird and Kerridge to Sloane leaving the 4 trades for the finals etc.
