Planning on bringing in those 2 guys this week, from Zaha and Horsley. :D Rd 14 i go Giles/Redden >> Cox and Treloar >> A.Pattison (85k ruck/fwd) This will allow me to switch him with Roughead if need be later on. :)

Looking good..! Definately holding Treloar another week? It's a tough call that one, if he pulls another 21 his price would plummet - but he's been better than 21 all year..!

Well that's what i need to decide. I could trade into the doughnut to save cash, although he ay come out and score 100 and thus have a low BE and hold the trade off again. I am tempted to trade him this round but i think i'll hold and have 12 trades for the run home. :D

There's no Swan in that midfield, it looks a bit empty :(

Actually, looking at it now, I think Morris >> Grimes/Waters is more important than Giles >> Cox/Maric as Giles is still scoring okay while i can pick up more points from Grimes/Waters and removing either Tomlinson or Morris. :-\ Do others agree??

[Andrew]

I agree just because Morris has the bye this week! Giles definitely worth holding for this week vs Melbourne.

Can't do it this week :-\ Don't have the dough. I could hold off getting Watson or Beams but there's no benefit as the two i'm trading out both aren't playing anyway.

It will leave me with 9 trades, a finished backline, a finished midfield, Roughy and Giles in the rucks, and Zorko at F7. Only $39k but i have guys like Shiel, Gibson, Giles and Zorko who will have made lots of money.

The Gate Crashers (Projected Rd16 team)
Backs: Godd, Lids, Hepster, Carrots, Heater, Broughts, Grimes << Sshaw, Tomlinson >>
Mids: GAJ, Boyd, Pendles, Watto, Jelwood, Jesus << T.Mitchell, Zorko >>
Rucks: Cox, Roughy << Redden, T.Campbell >>
Fors: Buddy, Beams, Goodesy, Stevie J, Dangermouse, Dustin, Chappy << Couch, A.Pattison >>

Trades: 5
Cash: Pretty much $0

How does that look as my finished team?? Was working on it and i came to that conclusion from my current position, making 2 trades per week every week from here to Rd 16. :)

Downers

• No swan
• Martin not Sidebottom

Editted team as i changed my trading plans. Doing Big O >> Campbell this week, should give me enough coin to go Gibson >> Stevie J/Sidebottom in Rd 16, thus keeping Zorko and making the side look alot better with a fwd/mid benchie. :D

yeah i don't think I'm going to have enough trades or cash to get swan either, going to be stuck with pendles when he becomes nice and cheap, but with a midfield of ablett, boyd, thompson, watson and selwood i really don't mind.

Swan is just way to expensive and unless he stinks it up in these next few rounds i can't see myself getting, it leaves me minimum trades for the finals and id rather upgrade Hargrave in the finals towards the end, then try and get in swan.

Pendles + Any premium defender > Swan + Hargrave
just can't trust hargrave these days with his late outs.

i like your defence looks rally solid, however worried about your fwd bench if someone doenst play haha.

btw how f*cking amazing is sloane. my love for him is indescribable. really taken his game to the next level this year.

[PowerBug]

Yeah the fwd bench is a worry, especially if i don't have the money to do Gibson >> Stevie J in rd 16 and have to use Zorko. But with Zorko there at M7 and interchangeable with Couch, i feel like i should be able to cover it. And also, if a fwd is out and a ruck benchie is in, i can swap Jarryd Roughead into the forwards. :) So i have the DPP all sorted. :D

[PowerBug]

IDEAL SITUATION:
Over this week and next week:

Giles >> Ryder
Morris >> Grimes
Redden >> 85k Ruck
Bugg >> Carrazzo.

If i get that i will be laughing. Coz i'll still have Shiel, Treloar, Sshaw, Gibson on bench and only need to make the one fwd upgrade if Zorko slows down. :D (Treloar in fwds)

If i find it not worth it, i'll just do: Giles >> Cox and Shiel >> L.Brown of the crows (for DPP) and be in the same possie with Treloar and Zorko switching.

Which sounds better??

Trades: 5
Cash: $152'900

The trades i've made for this week:
Giles >> Cox (gtfo Giles, run your course, well done on that achievement)
Treloar >> J.Allen (Made some cash, but the low score has forced the trade to be done this week)

So here is how it looks. With the remaining 5 trade i want to do:
Tomlinson >> Docherty/L.Brown (Whoever gets a game first)
Gibson >> Sidebottom
Redden >> Hale (If i'm really up myself)

This way i will have 22 premiums with coverage everywhere. D8 is S.Shaw, D9 is a swing between Docherty/Brown and J.Allen. M7 is a switch between Zorko and Couch. M8 is the other one of Allen and Docherty/Brown. R3 atm is Redden but could easily be Hale and Pattison using the DPP link. R4 is Tom Campbell. F8 is Zorko and Couch and F9 is the Hale/Pattison switch. :D If Couch starts to get a game then Redden >> Hale isn't needed.

So awesome DPP links everywhere, as i knew it would turn out. Despite my ranking atm, i back myself to come top 10k, which would be great, and i hae myself firmly planted in the top8 of two of my leagues, and making my move in the other 3. :D

Only thing missing is Dane Swan.....

[PowerBug]

well, i'm doing Treloar >> L.Brown this week, then plan on getting Allen/Docherty/Bagualey. Everything else is still on order. Roughead is being forced to play in the forwardline this week, with Franklin and Couch (most likely) out.

No problems down back with Goddard out, S.Shaw plays and Tomlinson is my emergency.

[PowerBug]

Couch vs Campbell. Who do i start??

[Tominator]
