2017 HoleMeal Team- Diary.

[Carn]

Eddy>Parsons
Houston>Pendles

[Jelemas]

Yeah Eddy to Parsons would be step 1 for me.
Then your choice of upgrading:
Houston to any Mid or Fwd.
Pickett to a Mid around 580K.

[HoleMeal]

Overall it was a good weekend. Won all my 5 league games.
Downside is I only have 18 trades left and $130k.
Thinking of doing Butler to Myers via Balic DPP and then Hampton to Taylor Adams.
Leaves me with the following upgrades-
DEF 2 (Otten and Marchbank)
MID 1 or 2 (Berry and Beams)
RUCK 1 (Sandi)
FWD 1 (Black)

[Ringo]

Just keep an eye on byes though as you will have 8/9 Rd 13 prems if you go Adams. 

I am keeping an eye on Harbrow for next week hoping Marchbank or Otten make a little more cash minimising cost.

[HoleMeal]

Ended up trading Otten and Hampton to Stewart and Tay Adams.
Rose up to top 6000ish overall BUT only have 16 trades and 54k left

Thoughts for this week are....

1. HOLD
2. Marchbank to McInnes

Any other thoughts appreciated. Going for league win NOT overall. Am currently 3rd.

[HoleMeal]

Will eventually get Greenwood and move Yeo fwd which means I have the following spots to upgrade to perms.
FWD- 1 spot (Parsons)
MID- 1 spot (Berry)
DEF- 1 or 2 spots (Marchbank and Newman although maybe he's a keeper?)
RUCK- 1 (Sandi)

[SilverLion]

Marchbank to McInnes if named is the logical trade to make, would look strongly at Perryman if he is not.

Probably need to save the trade and pocket the cash for now so would hold and next week possibly go Butler --> Greenwood, swing Yeo into the forward line and bring in a mid prem.

Yes I have to stop trading at some stage and I have an 'easier' game this week so just 1 downgrade could be the best this week.

[HoleMeal]

Rose up 1000 in the ranks to low 5000's. Most important I am equal top in my cash league.
Have used toooo many trades but looking at team 'optimistically' I have 3 upgrades to do....more likely 4  ;)
Stewart is one, Newman is a keeper for now and will probably be my last upgrade.
Getting Greenwood into mids this week and moving Yeo to forward line, leaving 1 mid upgrade to do and 1 fwd to do in Stewart.

This week looking at trading out Butler/Parsons/Black to Greenwood.
Am tanking this week so not sure whether to use the other 2 trades seeing I am already low on them.
PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE THIS!!
Could get Sloan, Scooter or hold??

Thanks again fellas.

[Ringo]

Black is not getting games so would look at him to Greenwood. Butler according to Tigers supporters will be back soon  and Parsons although not scoring well is playing.

Wait for teams though as surprises will occur.

Regarding Sloane or Scooter if you have 18+ available for Rd 13 bye would get Sloane but if in bye trouble go Scooter, I am hoping Sloane stays around the 120 mark for the next 2 weeks then his 177 goes from rolling scores so may drop in price after byes to allow pick up then.

[Jelemas]

I would probably look at either of these options:
Black/Parsons to Greenwood and Butler to Sloan.
or
Butler to Greenwood and Balic to S.Selwood. That leaves enough cash to go either Geelong FWD to Heeney or a FWD thats had there bye the week after.
I would probably lean towards option 2 because it gets the bad FWD rookies off your field and Selwood should make enough cash to get a guy like Sloan later on if if his price stays high.

[HoleMeal]

Copped a hammering this week, first week of the byes.
Unlike other teams, week 1 was always going to be a struggle for my team.



IF, and it's a BIG IF, If I count Newman and Scott Selwood as keepers (for now) then that means I have 2 upgrades to make.
DEF- Berry could become Hibberd this week, finishing my Defence.
FWD- Butler to Heeney or Stewart to Tom Lynch finishes my Forward line.
Do I have to get Cousins this week or would it be fine to miss him seeing I am low on trades??

Am going for cash league win, top 2 on ladder are on 28 points and I am 3rd on 24.

Super low on trades (12) but have a bit of cash and, what I believe to be a fair team.

Any advice much appreciated.

[Gandalf123]

Berry to hibberd is the move I think I would make mate - will make the team look much stronger too

[enzedder]

[Ringo]

Know you are low on trades but I would do these three trades to set you up nicely

Berry to Hibberd
Preus to Strnadica (allows you to also move Nank to ruck to cover)
Butler/Stewart to Tom Lynch.

Leaves you 9 trades with 1 Def upgrade required - Then injury luxury trades
