Ringos Team Thread 2024

[Ringo]

yep, that's a beautiful midfield with green in it, Fyfe and Jordon are treading water so nothing gained nothing lost. Sexton to Darcy tick.

Howes was on track for like 20 at best, his 46 is a massive bonus, so tick on not wasting the Coffield trade. I did it anyway.

I traded Howes in last week.  So boost would be to Brown or Draper. Will wear the 46 from Howes this week. So with best 18 next 2 rounds will not boost and keep an eye on Clohessy and Graham. Graham will have DPP as well which could be handy as if expected McKercher and co get DPP,

Who's a happy boy who went for rozee. No fix up required there!

I got him capatain in fantasy :)

Trades - Dawson Sexton - Green, Darcy

Rd 4 Team



Good:Sheezel, Daicos. Bontempelli, Liberatore, Rozee, Roberts, Sanders, Gawn. Flanders, Fyfe. Reid, Dempsey. Darcy
Average: Williams. Green. Carroll, Grundy, Powell
Bad: Stewart, D'Ambrossio,Serong, McKercher, Clark. Wilson.  Not playing Darcy on field.
Ugly: Howes, Jordan

Trades:
Definite:
Howes to Clohessy Danger in going after 1 game but Howes is close to at ceiling and banking 110k nice,
Grundy to English. English is probably a must upgrade and with Grundys bye ideal time to get, Grundy even could not ton against Eagles second rate rucks.

Not sure whether to do a third trade Jordan down to ??? for cash gain,  Options are Comben after only 1 game so risky, Lohmann who may be sub risk as he has been 3 of 4 matches , or Sharp one money making rookie I missed but still can make cash with a BE -51.

Sharp Favoured

[arbel]

I'm on fence with Grundy he seems to be doing okay but is giving away lots of frees and generally not going at good efficiency. Swans also play fast up middle game so he tends to get missed on link ups (he had no marks on the weekend) I always think is sideways worth it this early in season. Still averaging over 100 and have to burn an extra 195k to get English who has a 154 BE.

Even with bye I'd hold and work on moving on Howes and Jordon. Both averages sitting around their BE's.

[Colliwobblers]

Sharp should go at 70 avg and make another 100k plus rapidly with that 126.

It's not if but when on Grundy I agree, surprised given the opportunity he hasn't got back to the level, maybe he will? going English means one trade to finalize that position. I can't reach English considering Marshall, but that means No English for the season not till very late anyway.

You couldn't drop Clohessy after that! surely. And if he can do it against GWS not at their best but still.

I'm surprised Libba didn't get 200, must have been a bit wayward, because looking at the numbers they're off the chart. (didn't watch the game)

If horne frances keeps doing what he did rozee kicks 3 goals a game. Enjoy that pick.

[Mat0369]

The score and the trades were pretty damn good with some cash in the bank. Jordon is close to his BE and on bye, he is the one I'd be trying to upgrade. Howes BE is around 56 so it may be worth jumping off him this week, sometimes it's better a week early than a week late and reinforcements will come for defence next week with McKercher and Roberts.

Grundy annoyed the crap out of me watching that game, no marks and dumb frees killed his score. All of the Swans looked like they were in cruise control though and that was a reason WC kept it close. They didn't look switched on at all and his scoring is probably okay considering the amount of teams he is in. I'd look to upgrade elsewhere first.

Cobra Kai looked amazing but the fact it was North has me a little hesitant. He could make a bunch of cash or he could be the sub in a fortnight. I'd probably pass for now.

Sharp is a little pricey now at 255k but the negative 55 BE means he will make good coin. Any thoughts on Zorko priced just over 500k and scoring quite well? Neale is the other Lion I really want but he has just been banged up to start the year and still smashing it.

[Ringo]

Issue with Zorko is while being used of HB McKenna is due back next week. Who that effects is anyones guess and probably effects Lohmann and Ah Chee more than Zorko. In the absence of Coleman Zorko is probably the best kick coming off half back but now does not have the pace so may revert to hf. Will he keep scoring like he has or will he get an old mans injury,  McCluggage is probably the Lions midfielder I would target if any.
Still undecided on Jordan to Sharp this week or wait and do Jordan to Graham next week.

[Mat0369]

Sharp will bring in some instant cash benefits. I feel like Carlton aren't very good defensively vs wings and they tend to smash us, hence Sharp's huge score. You'll have enough cash next week to start swinging the upgrades and I think Carroll will probably be in downgrade territory, you could do him to Graham next week

Like most underscoring prems.

What to do this week  Carroll and Clark definitely have to go.
Thinking these trades with a boost
Clark to Graham, Carroll to Nyuon and McKercher to Miller leaves me $28k cash, Will reassess should Carroll or Clark not be selected.
Could go early on Walsh instead of Miller think both will score same for rest of season.,

With Libba out for the week maybe Sanders will get a better run although will he be punished for his tanty,  Thankfully this is the last week of the early byes,

[Bully]

I like the Miller addition, there's definitely good value in grabbing him sub 600k, my only concern is your lack of Heeney, with a BE of 52 you might have to grab him this week otherwise the ship might sail beyond reach. There will be numerous opportunities for a discounted mid, Petracca, Walsh & Laird all entering the bargain zone.

[arbel]

I like Graham, he picks himself and if have the opportunity, I'd try to get Heeney in. Is seriously on fire and don't want to get priced out. I'm thinking Nyuon as well. Comben has good break even but it's almost sideways a rookie with his price at 227k. Is Nyuon a risk to get dropped?

Also need to address the 2 donuts in defence after next week in case of injuries. Seems Reid is still listed as 3-3-4 weeks away

[Ringo]

Looked at Heeney but 30k short.  Donuts in defence hopefully sort out with DPP.

[Bully]

Instead of trading Clark it might be better to move on Sanders, it would be hugely risky to allow Heeney to hit 700k because you don't really know when this charmed run will end. Clark won't bleed too much cash if any at all, he'll probably be dropped knowing Geelong.

For the mid upgrade there will be Walsh next week, Laird the week after and Petracca the following week. There's so many options it may even be difficult to decide. 

[Mat0369]

Yeah I would trade Sanders and just hold Clark at M11. Should give you the cash for Heeney

[Ringo]

Thanks for the advice and now a little bit more

So holding Clark for a week. Graham and Nyuon coming i

Options for prem Luke Ryan Def, Neale/Dunkley M Heeney F

Ryan top defender but will he keep it up.
Neale/Dunkley/Gulden
Heeney F

Trying to avoid Premiums with Rd 14 byes.

Could also just 2 trades to build cash,
