Ringos 2017 Diary

Surely Swallow doesnt fly 21 hours to China with the knee issues he is having.

Lynch might not play so that helps Otten. BE of 90 gets 80+ only loses a bit. Plays Dees, Lions, Dockers, Cats and Saints.

Yeah Swallow already ruled out

[Capper]

Then i would trade out Hampton and Swallow

[Ringo]

May keep Swallow depending on team announcements as I need a bit extra cash to upgrade him can only afford players below $500k if I trade him this week. Hampton definitely gone and 2nd trade dependent on teams

Edit
With Houston out and no real bench cover (Eddy Parsons) may now do the double down:
Houston to Myers a week early via Balic restoring my mid/fwd dpp
then Hampton to McNiece/Berry or Otten to Shaw/Tuohy.
Leaning towards double down.

if parsons is named will you still double down

[Ringo]

Tough decision sammy - Think better keeping Otten than Hampton.  Also Adelaide play Brisbane next week   ;) so probably Otten may score more than Hampton.

well if hampton plays i hope he scores 100 against the lions

[Ringo]

Ended up doing a double down - Hampton to Berry and Houston to Meyers a week early.

Have $300k in kitty now to do some upgrades.

A few issues but just wondering which are major.

Butler, WHE, Otten , Williamson, Parsons and maybe Marchbank all nearing ceiling. So may cogitate for a while before deciding on Rd 9 trades as nothing stands out at the moment except maybe someone to Tuohy for bye purposes. 

Byes atm 18/ 24/ 20
Prems 9/11/10

So basically trying to avoid bringing in rd11players atm.

[sammy123]

trade out the ones with biggest breakevens eg butler.

touhy could be a good POD.

butler>yeo???

[Ringo]

Via DPPs could go Butler to Tuohy. Just need to sort out priorities over the next 2 weeks with Port/Suns players looking at Harbrow and Wingard. (Part of bye strategies)

A couple of question marks there Doug

Missing R11 - Marchbank, Williamson, Newman, Berry, Martin, Strnadica, Kennedy, Bontempelli, Dahlhaus, Franklin, Macrae, Barrett (Swallow?? Eddy?? Balic?? Parsons??)
Missing R12 - Rance, Danger, Selwood, Strnadica, Nankervis, Parsons, Butler (Swallow?? Eddy?? Balic?? Newman??)
Missing R13 - Laird, Howe, Otten, Pendles, Sandilands, Strnadica, Fyfe, Myers, Balic, Hoskin-Elliott (Swallow?? Eddy??
Newman?? Parsons??)

Just quoting my byes from now for focus. Rd 11 is my main worry at the moment hence watching trading in Rd 11 prems. All being well and we know that plans never eventuate hope to have a port and sun prem playing as well. Harbrow/Pittard vying for a defence spot and Wingard/Dixon/Ryder for forward. Leaning towards Harbrow and Wingard at the moment.

Scheer on the bubble next week, no idea on his JS but if he plays R11-13 he will cover a donut

Scoring is garbage though haha. You could probably wait a week or 2 on him and pick him up R11 if you really need to.
