Rd 3 Update

Rd 3 Score 2,257
Total Score 6,308
Rd 2 Rank 28,982
Overall Rank 61,823

Improving slowly - Week by week.

Trades done -
Mundy to Kelly

Trades Remaining 27

Team for Rd 3:
Def: Simpson, Ryan, Smith, Collins, Dursma, Clark (Wilkie, Burgess)
Mid: Cripps, Fyfe, Neale, Coniglio, Martin, Walsh, Constable, Butters (Scott, Atkins, Gibbons)
Rucks: Gawn, Grundy (Bines)
Fwds: Dangerfield, Heeney, Kelly, Moore, Parker, Drew (Setterfield, Petrucelle)

Concerns: Dusty, Simpson. Couple of rookies looking tired. Fyfe may not play.

Trade Considerations Corrective premium trades -
Dusty to M Crouch and Simmo to Lloyd - No cash left but 2 who will be in Top 5/10 in position
Dusty to Libba and Simmo to Lloyd - Leaves me 135k and still possibility Libba will not be a keeper but all the indications there.
May have to reassess if Fyfe out as means playing 4 rookies.

[sammy123]

Option 1 sounds good to me even if you have no money left. M crouch will definitely be in top 10 mids and Lloyd will be the number 1 defender i reckon

+ 1 They look like sound premo trades. Hopefully Kelly and Fyfe get up

Rd 4 Team
Def: LLoyd, Ryan, Smith, Collins, Dursma, Clark (Wilkie, Burgess)
Mid: Cripps, Fyfe, Neale, Coniglio, Liberatore, Walsh, Constable, Butters (Scott, Atkins, Gibbons)
Rucks: Gawn, Grundy (Bines)

Wilkie on Pine hurts

Will await teams to see if any rookies dropped as some were very average this week.

Thinking of these trades all being Normal - Butters to Stack and maybe Clark to Hore.  Burgess with DPP can stay a week,

and this really sums up my SC to date
R1: Mundy 73 T.Kelly 106
R2: Mundy 35 T.Kelly 111
Traded Mundy to T.Kelly
R3: T.Kelly 107 Mundy 104 R4:
T.Kelly 39 Mundy 151

Similar to me. What do you think about rowan marshall?.

I want to offload parker cause his B/e is 46 cant see him reaching that

Big improvement this week and continuing the climb.

All things being normal looking at these trades Clark to Lockhart and Burgess to Billings, Boak or Daniel. All have the Rd 12 bye which is beneficial. Boak is probably the desired but will leave me with little cash. Billings seems to be better this year with more mid time but do I want to be burned again and Daniel who is starting to be found out in defence now so will his scoring drop.
Walters another option and like Billings do I want to go there

[Carn]

Burgess to Boak looks strong. More cash is coming in Hately/Hayes. Plus no exposure to parker/pett would be great.

Moving in the right direction and big improvement from low of 85,555.

One trade would be Atkins to Hayes - Unsure whether to do another or sit.  Will wait on teams as well as a few possible injuries to cover.
Whitfield and Macrae still targets and have done their best this week to reduce values.

Edit Just thinking on this and feel free to talk me out of it forgoing Hayes and Wilkie to Young and Collins to Rich.  Bench will be Lockhart and Young Not the best but both will rise in cash if named,

[Bully]

Can you afford Laird?

[Ringo]

Can you afford Laird?

Been working out a way to get Laird in and this is the only real option and still pondering and may do if Conigs is not injured and out (too many rookies to play).
Moore to Corbett early and Collins to Laird,  Means playing one of Corbett or Petra though and can not loop as they play one another.

[sammy123]

Yeah i dont have a problem with that bench especially if they make some cash. 3 to 4 weeks would be nice

[Ringo]

Really torn on trades this week:

Option 1 - Just one trade Atkins/Butters to Hayes  leaves cash of $130k - Downside playing 1 of Butters/Atkins, Scott, Gibbons or Hayes, Could also do Wilkie/Collins to Young for cash as well. 

Option 2 - Wilkie to Young, Collins to Rich - Con Rich has the Rd 13 bye and already have & with that bye. Could go Houli instead early and save 40k.

Option 3 - Moore to Corbett early and Collins/Wilkie to Laird. Con playing one of Petra or Corbett -

Option 4 - Wilkie to Young, Collins to Caleb Daniel via Moore

Other suggestions welcome Cash only 21k -

Current team

[HoleMeal]

FWIW I like option 3- Laird proven gun at a reduced price.

Bold Keepers and Italics possible but last trade if needed

Trades for this week -
Petrucelle to Corbett
Butters to Bontempelli
Subject to team announcemets of course.
17 trades left and 140k

Can now loop Hayes and Answerth  And also Bines to add as VC Loophole,

Players looking at next week Collins/Wilkie to Laird/Whitfield or Hurn or maybe even Rich.

Hoping to just sideways ROB when he maxes out to save a trade

Leaving this team for Rd 8

Def: LLoyd, Ryan, Smith,Moore, Dursma, Hore (Collins, Answerth)
Mid: Cripps, Fyfe, Neale, Coniglio, Bontempelli , Liberatore, Walsh, Lockhart (Scott,Hayes, Stocker)
Rucks: Gawn, Grundy (O'Brien)
Fwds: Dangerfield, Heeney, Kelly, Boak, Mundy Drew (Bines, Corbett)

Will probably change mind when injury reports and teams come in.

Could look at getting Macrae in but playing Geelong may wait a week. Getting low on tyrades but with position more interested in how far I can climb.  Worst year ever in SC
