looking to get in either pendles or ablett this week. Who do you think ?
who is best choice of captain of the 2 ?
thnks zip.

[Ziplock]

def: suckling, gibbs, deledio, enright, lower, heppel, otten (adcock, goddard, thompson)
mid: ablett, swan, pendles, boyd, thompson, bartel (mzungu, prestia, jacobs)
ruck: cox, smith (vickery, vardy)
fwds: johnson, fyfe, didak, knights, smith, howe, tapscott (franklin, harper, riewoldt)

80k and 8 trades left, going for the league win

keeping adcock till he comes back
but atm this week i am copping a donut in the forwards, which i cant let happen (must win league game)
really want to get rid of knights aswell, and to get sylvia in

are knight->sylvia, tapscott->dalhaus good trades?
are there any better downgrades for tapscott?
if callinan plays itll be tapscott->callinan

cheers zip

Nope. Sounds like good trades to me. The only reason Dalhaus has such a high BE is because of a sub affected first game from memory- looks like a good fwd downgrade target, save callinan for on the bubble if you have a choice and don't need dpp.

Do you think you will win your Eliminator this week, without seeing your opponant ?

hi zip
ok my problem is i want to upgrade heppell to finish my midfield but if i do i lose mpp to my backs.i have plenty of mpp backs.
goddard,scotland,gibbs,hibbo,jacobs,gram and deledio.
is there any cheap rookie mid/backs still around?or do i just suck it up and trade heppell out and lose the mpp.
the only other player i can realistically upgrade in mids is krak but i would prefer to keep him to cover byes.
i have enough cash to use one trade to finish my mids.
i will be bringing fisher in next week to finalise my backs

with that many mpps I would just upgrade krakouer. Could you hold off for a week though and just upgrade heppell to fisher?
I am in roughly the same predicament- I could move heppell to my mids and upgrade to pendles, but I would far rather downgrade him in defence and preserve my mpp, even if the downgraded player had questionable JS.

I think for defence only Golby + Lisle are the real options. Makes it a difficult decision considering Lisle's shaky JS, and the fact many teams have adcock, puopolo and suckling.

yeah i could hold off a week and do heppell to fisher as long as heppell doesn`t drop to far down in price.

thanks again zip

[Ziplock]

Need some cash to upgrade mundy to Pendles.
Do I downgrade knights or krak? (will be going to callinan don't need him to play have plenty of cover)

I guess who will score more? Thinking knights has better js, both can be up and down.

Thanks

Would be downgrading knights on the basis of a high BE and isn't dpp. They both have similar JS at this point- I think Krak has pretty firmly cemented himself in collingwoods best 21 by now. Much tougher call if whoever you downgrade you have to field for the rest of the season- however krak has no more byes left, which kind of tips to scales his way imo. 

[Ziplock]

Do you ever get off fan footy?

pretty much no... actually, that's a lie, if I go out in the morning sometime I won't get onto ff until the afternoon etc.

But I pretty much get on daily if that's what you mean?

thnks zip.

mmm I would be captaining ablett this week vs the dogs.

do you intend on getting them both in some times? if so, Ablett now, and Pendles asap afterwards.

If only one... Ablett for his finals run. Pendles probably has a higher chance of being rested as well.

I think heppell is a reasonable chance to be rested this week, so you could be in luck there :)

Honestly, my gut tells me 'yes ziplock, you're a flowering beast.' but my head tells me know

I have Goddard and voldt out this week (no huge loss, every man and his dog have him), but also, adcock, franklin and dal santo.

I think I'll get knocked out unless I get really really lucky.

[4820]

What concerns me about ablett as captain is Picken.
I do intend getting in both ablett (possibly this week) and Pendles the following week. Why do you recommend ablett this week over Pendles (i think ablett may have a higher b/e).
thnks zip

will callinan play given scott steven's retirement and LTI status?

Very good question.  especially considering no one can answer this besides an Adelaide official/coach/player/insider.

i was asking for an opinion which i got.... im saddened by your lack of knowledge of these threads

Lol, don't get devo.  I just found the question funny at the time, after re-reading it, I do't anymore.  Maybe cos you sucked the fun out of it. I have been giving opinions for a while now and most people thank me for my input. 

Here's your opinion, well another one regarding your question.  A lot of people have posted about Callinan, and most coaches have given the same answer, including myself.

A lot of people here think he will play, it would be stupid for Adelaide to get an old trooper like Callinan if they didn't expect him to play in the immediate future.  After recovering form an injury, I'd imagine he'd be debuting in the latter stages of the year.  I doubt I'd be using him for points, but more for MPP flexibility and a cash generating downgrade.

For the record I wasn't having a personal go at you, I do not see the point of cyber bullying.  Everyone seems to be a hulk behind a keyboard. soz

thnks zip

ablett has a much lower BE in the 80s, while Pendles is about 115 from memory, and he's playing sydney- a much stronger team than WBD, and shut down DT points more as well- midfielders only score worse against carlton than sydney.

remember, he's also easily one of the best players in the comp- I don't think he'll be tagged out that easily.

You can't ignore 4 scores over 130 in 5 games, including against 4th and 5th place on the ladder.

yeah cicjose, I didn't read it as slap trying to be too slack either :)

^ pretty much what he said, you don't recruit a 28yo not to play. That being said, I can't remember who it was, but they had a valid opinion in saying adelaide recruited him with top 8 in mind, they *may not* play him basically because that appears out of reach, and instead will focus on giving younger kids a run.

considering the tirades i've given over the last 48 hours i can understand that Slap
