Hey guys
If you could start 2 out of smith, treloar, Adams, zorko, Jmac and shiel who would it be??

[Sleeken]

I'm going Greene->zorko this round. I can afford a fwd under 420k.

Should I go

Hall-> Lewis this week

Or try and get Robbo through a price drop or downgrade in future weeks?

Cheers guys.

OK ruck combo of

Maric Sandy Giles Redden

What do you think of Giles -> Jenkins for a cash injection of 234K. What do you think his JS is like? And How much less do you think he'll score over the bye rounds than Giles?

Oh and Im playing for overall ranking so when do i pull the trigger on couch? Do i wait until r11 or fire next week. Cant afford those 2 donuts. Ranked 513 and have the cash to convert him to any forward premo next week. But Id prefer a sideways with JS.

I have decided not to upgrade until each upgrade target has completed his respective bye round (e.g. Boyd round 11). Good Idea?

Im probably going to do the same mate... I need to save some trades and the premos falling to injury is too common! Im thinking at least one more premo will get injured bye the byes and will just sideways trade! lol

[Justin Bieber]

I need a captain.

Not sure who to put the Big C on :S

Got Selwood, Boyd and Pendles in mids...  :-X

Hey guys
If you could start 2 out of smith, treloar, Adams, zorko, Jmac and shiel who would it be??

ok based of socring you would have to go Jmac every game he has played so far he has knocked up a around 90 and thats fantastatic and im starting him in ym squad. From than on its a really close call i wouldnt be going adams smith trealor and shiel are all abit up and down and will rpobably get you a 60-80 score. Zorko I havent seen enough of but he could post a big score on the roos I woudl probably go shiel or trealor but zorko could be a good pick becasue its easier to score on the roos than essendon.

Sorry i cant help too much but its basically Jmac and a guess.

The hawks have a pretty nice draw coming up  and lewis has been very solid this year i think its worth getting him in now because he just seems to be able to rack up 90 every game. Robbo has the higher ceiling but is abit up and down i think they will average pretty similar from now on.

Hey guys I need a bit of help! Looking to move Greene out, but in order to do this ill have to downgrade magnet. Just had a quick look through the rookies on the bubble and think it's only sexton to choose from.

Magnet has a breakeven of 46, so good chance he will make more cash this week. But I don't know who would be on the bubble next week, so thinking I should get on Sexton now?

Thanks for your help guys, I only have access to my phone cause my laptop got stolen. So it's a bit hard to properly look through at rookies to choose from!

[picker_man]

hey guys was set on bringing in zorko/beams this week for murphy/hall but with heppell possibly out for 2 weeks would mean i have to play 2 of ellis/spurr/townsend understandably im not keen on it, so instead of doing

murphy - zorko
hall - beams
and play 2 rookies in backs

should i go murphy - zorko
ellis - scotland gain 60k
and play spurr and treloar in fwds

FWDS- buddy, sidebottom, robinson, stevie j, martin, whitex, treloar (adams/HALL)
BACKS- delidio, goddards, heppell, broughton, birchall, hanley, spurr (townsend/ELLIS)

Thanks Holzman
I think it may be time to blood a new player to my team and give zorko a run

With Maric and Sandi i assume your not playing Giles so might be a decent move to downgrade him if it allows you to bring a gun onto your field. Jenkins as a KPP player will be up and down on his scoring so its hard to tell how much you will ose in terms of points in the bye rounds in the 2 games he plays you might lose around 50 points and you can easily catch that up with a upgrade.

The only issue is JS, from reports i have heard alot of people are liking his job security. The thing that worries me slightly is that taylor walker missed last week when he scored big and isnt in this week. So there is numhber 1 an issue is will jenkins be able to score when he is back and 2 will jenkins be dropped when he is back. On the second one most people are saying the crows can play with 3 talls.

So to sum up its a little bit of a risk the best case scenario is he plays through the byes and you lose a few points but get a gun, worst case he gets dropped and your eating donuts and losing 180 points. It just depends if you want to take a risk or not, the other thing to think about is sandi always seems to get rested or injured so you need to think long term and will jenkins be playing than.

This week is my last upgrade , but i did these upgrades to balance my team for the byes. If your already set up for the byes i would hold and if you have planned it right you can do upgrades in the byes rather than wasting them on straight swaps. For example i have 200k going into the byes and guys i will upgrade/ downgrade i have pfiefer in the forward line and he will go to a round 11 or 12 rookie/premium.

[zeus123456]

Who to get for instead of Murphy. Need a round 11 or 13 pick and I cannot afford GAJ back so should I take a big risk and go Gibbs?
