MTTY's Supercoach Diary 2011

[MTTY]

howe is an interesting one, was averaging 15 disposals, 6 marks, 2 goals, 76 DT points, at VFL level before his debut.

If Thomas misses due to elbow MRP, and Swan is out to Arizona, maybe an upset where he can hold his spot!

Yeah it seems he and Bate are fighting for the spot

[HotTiges]

Yeah looked good. Reckon Bailey will play him over Bate. Not sure I want to downgrade Darling though. Very solid 'bye' cover.

[MTTY]

Am thinking in a few weeks when Sandi is back,

Z.Smith --------> J.Tippett

Which will give me lots of cash for upgrades and allows me to play Petrie in the ruck when Sandi and Cox have the bye.

[Ringo]

Same thought as me.  West Coast have the bye in Round 15 so if Sandi is back prior to that  monitoring his form and Smith cashed in.  have posted this theory in a number of threads. The way Smith is going should give between $250 - $300k when cashed in,  Reason basically is with having ruck combo set $370k bit much sitting on the pine.

Yeah, exactly Charlie Sheen brought this to my attention in the form of Sandi out for Tippett, then bringing back Sandi when he drops in price. I feel more comfortable with this way though as Sandi may not drop that much, this way if either go down we have Petrie anyway

[charliesheen]

can't see that much wrong with that.

[MTTY]

can't see that much wrong with that.

The idea to go Smith -------------> Tippett ??

btw have actually been thinking about your suggestion a lot CS, its very tempting if i knew Sandi would lose an x amount of money then i reckon i would pull the trigger on the trade  ;)

[MTTY]

I've been umming and arghing over your idea CS, and i think i may do it if Otten is named

[charliesheen]

Your team looked pretty solid b4.  maybe its best to hold off on trades altogether.

whats your team look now, trades left and cash left?

[MTTY]

Overall: 1,106

Cash: $18,500

Trades: 12

Team (when at its best)
B- Gibbs, Deledio, H.Shaw, Adcock, Duffield, Gilbert, Heppell
(Lower, Howard, Otten)

C- Swan, Boyd, Selwood, Hodge, Goddard, Cotchin
(Jacobs, Iles, Bewick)

R- Sandilands, Cox
(Smith, Moran)

F- Franklin, Goodes, Pavlich, N.Riewoldt, Petrie, J.Riewoldt, Yarran
(Darling, Mzungu, Richardson)

[MTTY]

 The real plus for your idea is that Sandilands may be out for longer

[charliesheen]

i am just weighing things up in my head.

btw, who are your final upgrade targets?

imo, the main reason to do the trade was

1. give you extra ground over others by finishing your team early.

or

2. if you have a lot of stagnant cash cows like bewick, otten, irons, etc in your team

I am just not sureif it is worth doing now, your team has very good coverage, and a good amount of trades.  I think what you need to ask yourself is

do you have enough cash cows?  list who they are?

are you going to have enough reasonable rookie downgrades to be able to make those upgrades you want to make?

A thing to consider is a lot of the forwards and mids will be bottoming out in this 2 week period so yeah.

Have a trading plan if i do the trade of

RND 12:Sandi, Cotchin ----------- Tippett, Ablett

RND 13:Bewick ----------Smith

RND 14: None

RND 15: Iles, Otten ----------------- Rookie, Pendlebury

RND 16: None

RND 17:Smith, Yarran ---------------> Sandi, Sylvia

[charliesheen]

Trust me mate, forget about Smith...  very raw, and more of a long term development project...  Richmond have an extremely good record against Sydney at the SCG.  In fact, they have won their last 4-5 encounters there.  If they do win, expect Cotchin to go BIG.  However, saying that, they are also coming off a bye :(, but they did look like they needed a rest anyway, especially after that Port Adelaide game...

RND 12:Sandi, Bewick ----------- Tippett, Ablett

RND 13: NONE

RND 14: Yarran, Cotchin --------------- Callinan, Sylvia/Brown (Now bottomed out to <420k)

RND 15: Iles, Otten ----------------- Browne/Tuohy, Pendlebury

RND 16: None

etc...

Nice, didnt realise i could go Bewick to Ablett. Would it matter if i did Yarran ---------> Sylvia in round 17 as to avoid covering both Pavlich and Sylvia in round 16?
