Redemption 2018

[shaker]

Cummings 1 game , Eagles on the bubble but looks like he is is not a good scorer so far and Appleby but already has had 1 price rise , not a great deal to get excited about with back rookies ATM

[_wato]

Actually I'm thinking Doedee > Simpson and going Holman to Ronke via Sicily and Finlayson.

Laird, Savage, Sicily, Lloyd, Simpson, Cole (Mirra, Keefe)
Titch, Fyfe, MCrouch, Bontempelli, Oliver, Coniglio, Beams, Kelly (Finlayson, Spargo, Philips)
Gawn, Sandilands (Olango)
Menegola, McLean, Billings, Smith, Ronke, Fritsch (Guelfi, ZGL)

Then next week going Finlayson to Philips and then either Cole to Cumming or Garlett to Ainsworth.

Week after Fritsch to RGray and Kelly to Dusty.

Laird, Savage, Sicily, Lloyd, Simpson, Cole (Mirra, Keefe)
Titch, Fyfe, MCrouch, Bontempelli, Oliver, Coniglio, Beams, Dusty (Philips, Spargo, Ainsworth)
Gawn, Sandilands (Olango)
Menegola, McLean, RGray, Billings, Smith, Ronke (Guelfi, ZGL)

Then would just have Cole/Ronke to deal with. Both should reach 300k so thinking Ronke to Boak/Heeney and Cole to Hurley. Should cost me around 350k. Want Ryder to come in for Sandi so would need only 300k as Sandi is appreciating wildly and actually make me money on that trade.

ZGL to Ahern could be on the cards and maybe Spargo to someone when the time is right. Would leave me with about 6 trades to finish the year.

Laird, Savage, Sicily, Lloyd, Simpson, Hurley (Mirra, Keefe)
Titch, Fyfe, MCrouch, Bontempelli, Oliver, Coniglio, Beams, Dusty (Philips, ?, Ainsworth)
Gawn, Ryder (Olango)
Menegola, McLean, RGray, Billings, Smith, Heeney/Boak (Guelfi, Ahern)

Yep these trades sound good. I have planned ahead exactly like this too.

The team looks great once completed

[_wato]

Dropped back a bit this week unfortunately. Some mediocre scores around.

Best thing that happened this week though was the fact that everyone played bar Olango so money making is occurring.

Laird, Savage, Lloyd, Simpson, Doedee, Cole (Mirra, Keefe)
Titch, Fyfe, MCrouch, Bontempelli, Oliver, Coniglio, Beams, Kelly (Philips, Spargo, Philips)
Gawn, Sandilands (Olango)
Menegola, McLean, Billings, Smith, Sicily, Fritsch (Guelfi, ZGL)

Went last minute trading away from the plan, held Doedee who scored 91 so will hold another week or two.
This week going Kelly > Dusty who is as cheap as ever and going Cole > Ridley.
Week after Fritsch (360kish) > Walters which should cost max 30k, then 140k to upgrade Doedee > Boak.

Laird, Savage, Lloyd, Simpson, Sicily, Ridley (Mirra, Keefe)
Titch, Fyfe, Dusty, MCrouch, Bontempelli, Oliver, Coniglio, Beams (Philips, Spargo, Garlett)
Gawn, Sandilands (Olango)
Menegola, McLean, Billings, Smith, Walters, Boak (Guelfi, ZGL)

12 trades left after that, bye planning haven't really thought about but all the rookies are mooing which is great.
If Mirra can continue to get another 2 games should see him rise to 300k ish then will look to upgrade him to Hurley when he bottoms out in 2/3 weeks. Billings then needs to go, and Sandi to Ryder will happen when the timing is right.

Looking very good. Planned trades look very good. Should see the team climb the rankings a bit

[_wato]

As always, trades can't go as planned. Walters goes bananas so doesn't drop as much as I'd like, Fritschy scoring well, so is Doedee.
Sandi looks to be out this week so now is the time to jump ship, it's Grundy v Ryder v Kreuzer for me. I think with Grundy possibly coming up against a ruckless Freo he is my man as well as the 126 average.

Sandi > Grundy
ZGL > Smith

12 trades left and a touch under 200k.

Laird, Savage, Lloyd, Simpson, Doedee, Mirra (Ridley, Keefe)
Titch, Fyfe, Dusty, MCrouch, Bontempelli, Oliver, Coniglio, Beams (Philips, Spargo, Garlett)
Gawn, Grundy (Olango)
Menegola, McLean, Sicily, Smith, Fritsch, Billings (Guelfi, ZGL)

Gonna have to start prepping for the byes then as this will be my team heading into the first round. Will list my thoughts on trades in a bit after I work things out.

Side looks good wato.

Only concern is the backs, would definitely target Yeo straight after his bye.

[sammy123]

Yes i was hoping walters would drop and drop another week.

But at 419 i have jumped on this week very good value

[_wato]

Rd 12 bye team - 21 playing, looking good, no need to trade? Rd 12 bye players to chase for my team - Yeo

Laird, Savage, Lloyd, Doedee, Ridley
Fyfe, Dusty, MCrouch, Oliver, Coniglio, Beams, Philips, Spargo
Gawn, Grundy
Menegola, Smith, Fritsch, Billings, Guelfi, Smith
Guys out - Simpson, Mirra, Titch, Bont, McLean, Sicily

Rd 13 bye team - only 16 probable which isn't good (would need a DG of Spargo perhaps)
Laird, Savage, Lloyd, Simpson, Yeo, Mirra
Titch, Fyfe, Dusty, MCrouch, Bontempelli, Philips (Garlett)
Menegola, McLean, Sicily, Billings, Boak/Hoff
Guys out - Ridley, Oliver, Coniglio, Beams, Spargo, Keefe, Gawn, Grundy, D Smith, Fritsch, Guelfi, Smith

Guelfi/Fritsch/Spargo have to be considered as guys to throw away. Yeo needs to come in but he isn't the main target as Doedee/Mirra should play. I'm thinking Fritsch (400k) at this point to Boak/Hoff (500k), Doedee (400k) > Yeo (540k) perhaps?, and would need a downgrade here (Spargo dg?) but I don't know who's about.

Rd 14 bye team - 17 playing and want to go Mirra (325k) > Hurley (480k) so would likely need one more DG (Guelfi but he's playing) and another trade to field that extra player.
Simpson, Yeo, Hurley, Sicily, Ridley
Titch, Bontempelli, Oliver, Coniglio, Beams
Gawn, Grundy
McLean, Smith, Boak/Hoff, Guelfi, Smith

Final team post byes with 6 trades left if I was to do those proposed trades.

Laird, Savage, Lloyd, Simpson, Hurley, Yeo (Ridley, Keefe)
Titch, Fyfe, Dusty, MCrouch, Bontempelli, Oliver, Coniglio, Beams (Philips, ?, Garlett)
Gawn, Grundy (Olango)
Menegola, McLean, Sicily, Smith, Westhoff/Boak, Billings (?, Smith)

Not sure it's the most sound bye plan but it's tough when guys like Keefe/Garlett have stopped getting games. If they play it makes things a hell of a lot easier !

[Ringo]

Looks good wato.

Bit expensive but keep an eye on Austin from Saints next week and if named could be handy to bring in and give extra cover through 12 and 13 as he will not have bye till Rd 14.

[_wato]

Ok, this weeks trades.

Mirra > Smith
Sandi > Grundy

OR

Mirra > Walters
Sandi > Stef Martin

Thoughts??

[Ringo]

Keep an eye on byes but 1st trade will net more $ for later upgrades and favour it slightly as both Martin and Grundy have the Rd 13 bye.

Yeah, you're probably right. Could still do the Walters trade next week.

[_wato]

Scored 2,337 jumped upto 12k. Very good week for me.

This week’s trades

ZGL > Ahern
Guelfi > Mihocek
Billings > Walters

Getting in the last rooks I’ll need for now for upgrades. Leaves me with 400k in the bank.

Laird, Savage, Lloyd, Simpson, Doedee, Mihocek (Ridley, Keefe)
Titch, Fyfe, Dusty, MCrouch, Bontempelli, Oliver, Coniglio, Beams (Philips, Spargo, Garlett)
Gawn, Grundy (Olango)
Menegola, McLean, Sicily, Smith, Walters, Fritsch (Ahern, Smith)

Have 22 playing this week.

Gonna struggle the next 2 weeks.

Looks like we needed you in SOO mate haha, well done.

Too early on Ahern and Mihocek don't you think? I believe they'll both play this week, then both have their bye before playing their third game. What's the rush to bring them in?

I'd definitely be looking at Austin, though I can see that wouldn't be ideal for your bye structure.
