Ask Ziplock

[Alka]

Thanks for the advice before btw Zip.
So I'm going with my trading plan. Now just wanted your opinion on who to start this week:

Mzungu or I.Smith
And then who to bench of: Golby, Puopolo, Hibberd, Otten, Jacobs (most likely Golby right? Just double-checking though).

[Ziplock]

I would play Mzungu.

Essendon are, or at least potentially this season, a stronger team than the Lions- Mzungu should chop up, while Smith's 2 big scores have been vsing poor teams such as Port and GC.


removing Mzungu's introductory first game in which he was subbed, he's averaging 75.


Yep, bench Golby.

Hey Zip,

Thanks for help weeks ago about looking teams in the finals run.

Current Issue, sitting 3rd in league...4 points down...next 2 games are easy, last 2 are against top 4 sides, who I will be playing in the finals anyway.

8 trades left. 500k in bank.

So...should I trade now to set up my team to possibly beat the top 2 teams in the last league rounds, or wait out for the finals?  And have a better idea of which prems will play?

Ablett is he a sure thing for their clash against BL? get on or wait?
Pendles, most likely rested, get on or wait?
Mitchell, good run home? wait until after bye or finals?

Yes/No will be fine.

Cheers

if you can make the top 4 easily, and it's unlikely you'll be able to get into first/second, then I say save your trades/ cash for either the finals, and the week before

so you can upgrading chronically.

that being said, getting in  pendles and ablett now would be a good move- both chopping up and pendles is at a low price, neither with byes left. I would do that personally, then sit on my hands until finals.

downgrade to dalh, he'll post a big score against GC most likely.

Heppell to Shaw for overall, Heppell to suckling fo league.


mmm, if it completes your forward line, I would trade in sylvia now personally, this season for DT points for the two, there's no comparison.

[Crustynuts]

Zippers,

Is there any use trading Knights to Didak?  Didak can be just as frustrating as Knights. 
Will Callinan release Knights to play further up the ground?

I would be starting Swallow vs the Dogs.

[jk17]

Thanks Zip :)

I would say probably richardson. I mean, I think he should be awarded full game time, but if he gets fielded he's only just scraped into the squad. Smells subtastic to me.

I would personally trade knights to dids- callinan being named at ff might help knight's dt scoring- however, with a 3 round average of like 60, I think you should be dropping knights now. Preferably to sylvia if you can afford him, if not dids is also a solid option.

Even brad green could be an interesting option.
