Hargrave, Lake, Bugg,
(Ellis, Morris)

MID

Magner, Macdonald
(Shiel, Ledger )

RUCK

(Stephenson, Redden)

FWD
Buddy, Goodes, Sidebum, Danger,
Porplyzia, Kennedy, Trealor
(Smith, Dickson)

I need help with my bye strategy with this team. Any suggestions? Am I flowered?

[Ringo]

Bear in mind everyone will cop a minimum of 2 donuts in the bye rounds so the trick will be to make sure you only get the 2.

So you need to structure your team leading to the byes. For example work out which lines you want your donut and then ensure when you trade leading up to byes that you trade to achieve that.  eg Defence if you want the Donut in Round 13 agree on the 3 players you want in final team than as you trade Ellis and Morris make sure they are traded to prems with Round 11 or Round 12 bye.

If you put too much effort into it it will do you head in.

Round 6 trade thoughts.

Ledger>Horsley
Dsmith>Adam

or

Ledger>Pheffer
Dsmith>Adam

Ledger not earning cash has hurt me already so want to move him on.

[charliesheen]

Not sure about Adams.  Also has another R11 bye which is quite annoying.

FWD
Buddy, Goodes, Sidebum, Danger,
Porplyzia, Kennedy, Trealor
(Adams, Dickson)

Bank: 100k

Thinking Magner >Horsley
leave me with 260k

[Ringo]

I would be tempted to switch Pfeiffer and Kennedy and go Kennedy to Horsely.  Will loose DPP but a few coming up Zorko etc still to play.  Magner still has a reasonable B/e and will more tan likely achieve it so that is why imo Kennedy is your downgrade target.

Ablett, Pendles, Selwood, Boyd, Sheil, Horsley (Macdonald Adams)

I need Murphy to score 120 or below to do my shiel > Murphy trade. What are my odds?

[Carn]

Scotland, Heater, Goddard, Dids Hargrave, Lake, Morris, (Ellis, Spurr)
Ablett, Pendles, Selwood, Boyd, Shiel, Horsley (Macdonald Adams)
Sandi, Giles (Stephenson, Redden)
Buddy, Beams, Sidebum, Danger, Lewis, Porplyzia, Treloar (Pheffer, Dickson)

Was hoping for Murph but happy I don't hold him or swan this week.
290k in the bank and all rookies scoring well. Do I need zorko?
Could go Sheil>Zorko, JMac > S.Thompson
Will mess up my R11 bye though... Just can't find a R13 bye mid I want, Michell is to too up and down in SC.
Can anyone help me?

[Ringo]

There have been a number of threads on DalSanto maybe read them and make a decision.  Take out his one low score and he is averaging 114k and Saints have a number of matches at Etihad as well.

If you do not need to upgrade I would just do Shiel to Zorko this week. Mac will make money for you this week if he plays.

[Carn]

Thanks ringo. Been looking at nicky dal but I have had him before and he has been so up and down. Mitchell as well. I really wanted swan and murph to fnish my mids. I might have to wait as I am down to 13 trades and probably need a break before the byes.
