Rd 17 Trade - Fisher to Caldwell

Rd 17 Team:



Good:Sheezel, Stewart,Neale, Merrett, Rozee, Mannagh, English, Gawn, Flanders, Heeney, Caldwell, Jackson, Simpkin
Average: Daicos, Ryan, Bontempelli, Green, Salem, Dowling
Bad:Gulden, Serong,
Ugly: Dale, Houston. Richards. Freijah. Not changing e to Mannagh when not sub but can not complain.

Aim now is to finish as high as possible. Started the byes with a ranking of 36,660

What to do this week.  Think I will sit on my 2 trades, Can cover Heeney if suspended.  Nice DPP bench to swing.
Houston and Serong a worry but with 2 trades they can wait.

[Colliwobblers]

Monster score, very nicely done.

Yeah I'd hold your in a pretty good spot with all premiums and 2 trades.

[arbel]

Yeah nothing to do there. Great score and with 2 trades may as well sit.

[Mat0369]

That's an absolute monster score.

If you wanted to use your two trades the best move I can think of is to downgrade Richards to a DPP Mid/Def, swing Dawson forward and bring in the best DPP forward/mid. Maybe something like Humphries and Bolton? You should be able to afford that and Bolton can cover Mid field and forward while Salem can be swung into the backline. It's a risk but it seems like the best way to use your resources.

[Ringo]

With Gawn now 2 - 3 weeks do I use a trade or sit. A lot will depend on what happens with Heeney.

Can use Jackson to replace Gawn, Mannagh forward and the use 1 of Dowling, Freijah or Richards to cover Heeney if out. Think from memory Darcy was concussion so will probably only miss one week so that adds to the equation and keep 2 trades.

Could trade Gawn to Nankervis/Xerri and leave 1 trade,

[arbel]

I'd hold the trade the fact you have cover is probably ahead of some people and you don't have Rankine so avoided the 3 of them out. So think you could hold for the moment.

Another reasonable week

Rd 18 Team:



Good: Dale. Houston, Stewart, Neale, Gulden, Jackson, Flanders, Caldwell, Dowling,
Average:Ryan, Daicos, Rozee, Bontempelli, Zorko
Bad: Sheezel, Serong, Green, Freijah, English, Simpkin, Mannagh
Ugly: Salem, Merrett, Richards, Could have traded Reid to Humphries but going own to 1 trade over rode.

Not a bad week moving up closer to goal of getting into Top 10k

Probably sit again this week and await teams.  Heeney will be back and we await news on Gawn. Jacksons score will go down as Darcy should be back.

6 weeks to survive,

[Mat0369]

If Gawn returns this week you'll have 22 'premiums' this week which is great. Are you tempted to use your last couple of trades to try and get in a 23rd prem that can cover over multiple lines?

[Ringo]

Thought of that but would have to use the 2 trades to do. Had thought of Richards down to a DPP to take full advantage of all the Mid/Fw DPP.

[arbel]

Pretty solid score and I think best to just hold on trades for the moment unless you need to

Will again sit and await injury reports and team selection. maybe tempted to get another Def/Mid Dpp donut but not absolutely essential at this stage. Gawn should return. Simpkin and Salem the only real worries at the moment.

[arbel]

Yeah nothing really to worry about, Keep an eye on Caldwell as likely out this week with concussion but you have cover with Mannagh and if Gawn back can swing Jackson back FWD

[Ringo]

So with Salem gone for 4 weeks will have to trade so do 2 one up and Salem to a super prem or just do Salem to McKercher,

Could do these 2 trades to run out
Salem to McKercher
Simpkin toi Rayner but maybe too risky.

[Colliwobblers]

Great result last week, coming home with a wet sail :)

I wouldn't use two trades on a cover player, keep one for max or other injured Premo and McKercher will do nicely for bench cover for mine.

[Ringo]

Scrub that just short of cash Salem to McKercher. Need to reassess with only $456k to spend,  Thoughts on Jayden Hunt,
