Tom's SC 2017

[GDRAGONS]

Rance to tuoy? Hannebery to Bont Or jack Steven or t Mitch? Franklin to Greene?

Any of those options should find you the cash

[TomK]

Rance to Tmac?

If I didn't have Howe as a 'risk' already back there, I'd consider it but I like Rance :-\

Not a fan of Tuohy, reckon he is a pre-season trap and I've had Hannebery all pre-season as one of my first picked so I'm not too keen on getting rid of him. Franklin to Greene could have been a good idea but I fall short.

I should stop being so picky if I want this done haha but thinking it's probably just more beneficial if I just start Treloar, hmmm :-\

[GDRAGONS]

Take a massive risk and go Howe to bob Murphy uses the ball well obviously injury history is the risk but generally very consistent as long as he stays on the park

[Grufflez]

Treloar will be a good pick if you kept him.

Curious to know what changes you made last minute?

[TomK]

Treloar will be a good pick if you kept him.

Curious to know what changes you made last minute?

Yeah I kept Treloar, not too worried at all about him, he'll be fine

Only change I made last minute was Houston - Parfitt, the rest is the same. If I had my time again though, I'd go Bud - Ryder, Treloar - Pendles and Rance - Doc but that's all in hindsight, Bud could knock out a 150 while Ryder goes 50 today.

Haha numbers were off but you had the way of it.

Round 1: 2,069 - Rank: 71,492
Round 2: 2,162 - Rank: 53,117
Round 3: 2,232 - Rank: 34,305

Slow start, a few premiums under-performing is the main issue, hopefully can keep improving and continue to climb the ranks.

H.Shaw, R.Laird, A.Rance, J.Howe, C.Marchbank, C.Hampton (N.Newman, T.Stewart)
P.Dangerfield, N.Fyfe, A.Treloar, D.Hannebery, D.Beams, J.O'Meara, D.Swallow, S.Petrevski-Seton (S.Powell-Pepper, J.Barrett, J.Pickett)
A.Sandilands, J.Witts (L.Strnadica)
L.Dahlhaus, L.Franklin, J.Macrae, T.Nankervis, W.Hoskin-Elliot, D.Butler (B.Parfitt, B.Eddy)

$4,200 Remaining, 28 trades left.

Went Taranto - WHE last week which I'm happy with so far and have gone Hibberd - Newman this week.

I count 13 Keepers, including Nank, which seems about average with every other side posted, but I just have worse premiums so far which is obviously affecting my scores/rank.

O'Meara obviously an issue but with barely any cash in the bank, little to no options to go to, a downgrade could work to get SPP/SPS both on the field and gain 200k but no one good to go to either so will likely hold.

Team is trash.

Need cash so I can actually upgrade to premiums that actually score like premiums, Balic and Williamson are the downgrade options this week.

For Williamson, I would need to get rid of Stewart (is it worth it?), or one of Marchbank and Hampton (probably too early to cash in with more cash to make) so not sure what to do there.

For Balic, JOM (if he isn't back), Eddy, Pickett, Barrett, or SPP?

Thinking of going Pickett out for Balic and going aggressive with Hampton out for Williamson, leaves me with around ~160k, and then next week a combination of SPS/SPP/Swallow/JOM to Fisher/Premo.

[Mongoose528]

Your team isn't bad, just been hit hard by Hanners/Rance/Shaw/Treloar scoring poorly. If these premos had done well, your overall rank would be much higher.

For trades, this is what I'd be looking at

Round 5: JOM -> Balic

Round 6: SPP -> Fisher
              SPS -> Premo

Round 7: Hampton -> Rookie
              Marchbank -> Premo

Cheers mate, I really liked this plan and was going to do it but as we know, everything went to shower.

Flowering JOM isn't back this week as well, probably hold trades another week.

Round 5: 2,206 - Rank: 34,853

Around average this week, gained 9k spots but still nothing to be happy about.

DEF: R.Laird, H.Shaw, J.Howe, A.Rance, C.Marchbank, C.Hampton (T.Stewart, N.Newman)
MID: P.Dangerfield, N.Fyfe, A.Treloar, D.Hannebery, D.Beams, J.O’Meara, D.Swallow, S.Powell-Pepper (S.Petrevski-Seton, J.Barrett, J.Pickett)

FOR: L.Dahlhaus, J.Macrae, L.Franklin, T.Nankervis, W.Hoskin-Elliott, D.Butler (B.Parfitt, B.Eddy)

$4,200 Remaining, 28 trades left.

Thinking this week I either go the double downgrade to Balic/Fisher or just take one and upgrade elsewhere, will probably double downgrade next week as well so might go down/up this week.

Two out of SPS/SPP/JOM/WHE/Swallow are on the chopping block. SPP'S BE probably saves him and with Boak out, he could attend more centre bounces, Swallow has been trash the past two weeks and with his BE at 94, I don't really have faith in him making it, JOM is an unknown, tempted to see how he goes if he's back this and with his BE at 58, there isn't much to lose, WHE BE is at 70 and I'm backing him in to bounce back this week in dry weather (I think), and it's probably time for SPS to go with his BE at 76.

Thinking of -

Swallow/SPS - Balic/Greene (via Dahl)

I would go for a mid premo but best available is Oliver and I would rather a more proven player so don't want to risk him.

[fasttrack13]

Grab Balic, Fisher, Black over the next couple?
Concentrate now on the midfield...? All other positions can hold steady until the bye!

Have cash ready for pendles/dusty/bont/Jpk over the next 2-3 weeks!

Yeah I'm planning for a double downgrade next week to have cash to upgrade my midfield, only question is whether I double down this week as well so I can prioritise my cash into the midfield when I upgrade there and not upgrade to a forward this week, I'd take a massive hit in points for a few weeks but long term it could be more beneficial. I really don't know :-\

[TomK]

Round 5 trades were Swallow/Pickett - Fisher/Balic.

Round 6: 1,866 - Rank: 44,503 lol

O'Meara/Parfitt - Parsons/Pendlebury

Round 7: 2,048 - Rank: 36,517

Starting to upgrade now so should hopefully start moving up, just need my under-performing premos to lift.

DEF: R.Laird, H.Shaw, A.Rance, J.Howe, C.Marchbank, C.Hampton (N.Newman, T.Stewart)
MID: P.Dangerfield, S.Pendlebury, N.Fyfe, A.Treloar, D.Hannebery, D.Beams, S.Petrevski-Seton, S.Powell Pepper (J.Barrett, H.Balic, Z.Fisher)
RUC: A.Sandilands, J.Witts (L.Strnadica)
FOR: L.Dahlhaus, J.Macrae, L.Franklin, T.Nankervis, W.Hoskin-Elliott, D.Butler (J.Parsons, B.Eddy)

$126,900 Remaining, 24 trades left.

Plan this week is to go Hampton/Beams - Berry/Yeo which will leave me with $214,100, this should allow me to upgrade next week without an downgrade. I should have enough for WHE - Rockliff with just the one trade, but if I downgrade to Myers next week as well, I could upgrade Butler instead, I'll just wait and see how the BE's look next week.

After next week, I'll have 20-21 trades left with 5 rookies on field, and Sandi/Witts to upgrade so in a good position I think.

[GoLions]

If you hold Beams this week, would you have enough to go Butler to Yeo?
