GoLions' SC Diary 2016

[meow meow]

I just traded Rocky in, so maybe you should look at someone else for MMurphy if you're trading him.

Tbh I'm very tempted to get Rocky as well just because bias :P

So far, so good ;D

[GoLions]

With Kerridge doing well, and Dahl scoring fairly average and set to lose cash, might just do a downgrade this week, and get Hanners next week.

Plan is to get Hanners next week, Rance the week after (straight after his bye), and 2 of Dahl/Dusty/Joey by the end of the byes. Downgrade targets are Collins (this week), Matho (potentially this week), Jansen (next week), and Trengove (next week).

Would leave me with:

Shaw, Boyd, Simmo, Laird, Rance, McVeigh (Adams, Collins)
Rocky, Gaz, Pendles, Danger, Jelwood, Hanners, Gray, Libba (Matho, Jansen, Trengove)
Goldy, NicNat (Goetz)
Zorko, Barlow, Robbo, Wells, (2 of) Dahl/Dusty/Joey (Petracca, Menadue)

If a forward rookie pops up, that'd be ideal though, so I can get some of that sweet sweet fwd/mid dpp action. Think I'll have to trade Tippa at some point and lose the fwd/def dpp, but if I can avoid that, I will.

Just be careful with both Mattho and Jansen sharing Rd 15 byes as you will have 12 out in Rd 15 leaving you the bare 18.

Yeah just posted in the byes thread before, so looks like I will definitely be bringing in Trengove, and only one of Jansen/Matho

Pre-byes update:



170k in the bank, 13 trades left.

Was originally planning on getting Hanners this week, but now with NicNat injured, may have to hold off on that trade :-\

So, my plans now are:

This week:
- NicNat to Gawn
- Hopper to Trengove
- Keays to Jansen/Matho

Why trade the two guys actually playing this week, I hear you ask? NicNat to Gawn gives me 21 this week, not too concerned if I get that 22nd player or not, as it's best 18 anyway. The main reason for this though is that Hopper and Keays would both miss R15, whereas Smith and Davis would both be playing that week. However, I'll probably be trading another one of them at the start of round 15 anyway, but I'd prefer them as cover for now, and am expecting Hopper to get dropped after his poor game on the weekend.

This leaves me with a bit over 330k, however I could have a bit more if I brought in guys like Stewart and/or Matho instead.

Next week:
- DBJ to Dusty

Probably just the one trade next week I think. Should have 19 on the field. Upgrading Libba would also be an option, perhaps for Sloaney. But I'd probably just keep the trade for now.

Final week:
- Menadue to Phillips
- Kerridge/Petracca to Joey
- Davis/Smith to Hanners if cash allows

Third trade to bring in Hanners will be borderline as to whether I can afford it or not. Definitely wouldn't be able to if I upgrade Libba, which is why I doubt I'll make that trade. If there's a decent downgrade option in the 2nd week of the byes, I might do that. I could also keep Menadue, and trade 3 of Kerridge/Petracca/Davis/Smith, as that would give me enough cash. But, Menadue probably won't be playing, so I'd rather trade him to someone who is playing. Will have exactly 18 players on the field.

[GoLions]

Had a very good week!

Score: 2132
Weekly Rank: 222
Overall Rank: 3973 (up 4954 spots)

Not having Danger as C for the last 2 weeks hurts though :P

Team:



Will probably go DBJ to Dusty, and hold on the rest of my trades. If Menadue doesn't play, might trade him to Phillips. Or I could just make the trade anyway :P

Next week I'll be looking at Hopper to Joey.

Gonna wait for Hanners to drop in price a bit more before I get him.

Is it worth upgrading Libba to a R13 bye player? And if so, who? From the teams who have already had their bye:
Pies - Already have Pendles, leaves Sidey and Treloar
Suns - Have Gaz
Crows - Sloaney?
Blues - Gibbs?
Tigs - Cotch?
Saints - Steven?

Tbh the only ones that interest me are Sloaney and Sidey.

[Ringo]

Have you checked Stevens stats?  Was looking at Sloane and then discovered Steven's stats Only 40k more.

Yeah, but that 40k could be the difference between me getting Joey next week or not haha

Plus, I have Jacky in RDT and AF, don't have my boy Sloaney in anything!

Thoughts on Sidey as well? Feel like he could also be a great POD, but IIRC the Crows have a nice fixture to finish the season.

[Ringo]

Sidey could be nice for you but of the two I would take Sloane given the fact that Crows will be pushing to up from 8th spot and their nice draw. Sidey has not cracked the ton is the three games before the byes which is a concern.

[GoLions]

Yeah, that's a good point.

[Nige]

I grabbed Sloane and Joey this week, so if I were you, I wouldn't go near either. :P

[GoLions]

Forgot that Crows were playing last night, didn't get Sloaney :'(

[Nige]

Rekt.
