Hey mate, 15 trades left is getting a bit shaky, especially with 8(?) upgrades left to make. When do you need to start hunting for some value picks do you think?

I have 19 left with 6 or 7 (if you include Rocky) upgrades to make, yet am already resigning myself to keeping Rocky at M8 due to a lack of foreseeable cash generation etc.

I know you've got a fair bit of value to trade out in ROB and Hore etc, but you might need to punt on a speculative pick/bottomed-out premo soon.

Some to consider:
Robbie Gray
Devon Smith
Jeremy Howe
TJ Lynch (under 300k!)
M Crouch (High BE after injury game)
Milera (was averaging 95 before injury, will drop to about 400k)
Jayden Short (not back for awhile but will be around 350k after 2 drops in price)
Menegola (monitor role for signs of mid time boost)
Gunston
Wingard
T McDonald
Westhoff
Toby Greene


Lots of obvious risks, though there might be a few gems if you can spot them before they jump.
Unfortunately for you, quite a lot of them are forwards and you're stacked there!

Good luck anyway, will be interested to see your moves heading into the byes!

After the Carnage:

Looking at these trades:
Rd 10
Moore to Young
Drew to Macrae

Rd 11
Collins to Hinge
Wilkie to Whitfield

11 trades remaining one will be ROB to a forward leaving 10 for rest.

Trades for Rd 11 pending team announcements.
Lockhart to Hinge via Dursma
Wilkie to Whitfield

Getting low on trades but happy to try and finalise teams  and use DPP.

Byes Structures based on Rd 11 team with above trades
Rd 12 18 Playing (Scott may make it 17 if still held)
Rd 13 18 Playing again few rookies again doubtful
Rd 14 21 playing,

Having worst year ever so looking at a few challenges to keep me interested like aiming to get into top 10k.

[Carn]

Looking good Ringo.
With rookies Moore & Hore, Walsh & Duursma and Corbett on field and only 11 trades it looks tight to get full upgrade. At least you have kept the higher scoring rookies. I am having trouble with upgrading that F6 spot too. Might have to hope Corbett or Young spike in value. Not tempted to take the ROB cash with fort?

With ROB keeping him as he will be nice cover for Grawndy in Rd 13 if he is still in the team. Jacobs due to return soon. Plan for ROB has always been to hopefully sideways him to a F/R via Bines.  Looking at Lobb especially if he keeps the intercept marks going. Lycett/Westhoff the other options but not setting world on fire.

How much cash before this weeks trades Ringo?

$185k  only hence the up down  $80k left after trades,

[Ringo]

Team Announcements have stuffed the plans so need to sleep on it.

May not even trade but will have mid bench of Lockhart, Scott and Hayes. Thought of Hayes to Baker but shaky JS.

Red are players with byes this week.

Trades Would not have a clue awaiting teams but wondering whether to cop donut as well 16 players available but includes Whitfield.

[Carn]

Whitfield to Laird?
Then Hore to Congilo?

[Ringo]

Just 11k short of that Carn

With Whitfield out though will be doing Whitfield to Coniglio.  And then await teams to see who is named.

Have 18 playing if Scott, Lockhart, Corbett and Hore named and ROB covering if Grundy does not get up.

Have 18 next week if Gardner, Young, Scott and Corbett play Hoping ROB plays as well.
If ROB Out will look at ROB to Rory Lobb/Lycett

Have 20 playing Rd 14.

So if SC Gods are kind may only have the 1 trade this week to conserve them.

Rd 12 Update Disastrous season continues.

Total Score 25,722
Rd 11 Rank  55,015

Liberatore to Cunnington

Only 17 players available.

Cash $56k
Trades 8

Current Team



Awaiting teams but may not trade at all unless team announcements not kind due to low trades.
may consider though Stocker if still out to Bewley and Moore to Sicily. However not keen with having Bewley and Scott as mid emergencies.

Total Score 27,411

Rd 13 Team (some adjustments made to benchces to reflect Rd 14 byes



Now achieved highest ranking for the year. progressing towards goal now of Top 10k and not abandoning team.
Had to do some trades with team selections as only 14 players were available and got some reward. Couldhave been higher if not for being out Saturday night and unable to claim Fyfes vc over Cripps costing 51 points.

Now the big decision with having 21 players available (although some crap rookies) and hold for a week or burn trades this week.

Think I will wait teams:

Couple of options being considered
ROB to Marshall, Billings or Daniel or Lycett/Hoff to open up F/R
Walsh to Naish no on field benefit Dursma/Answerth to prem mid.

If I make it back into top 10k will avoid my worst ever SC ranking.
