ask the Coaches Round 9

I need a captain.

Not sure who to put the Big C on :S

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

Its a hard one becasue Ablett is the standout pick, i would go boyd as he has only ever knocked up 2 tons on gellong and despite his great form and the fact there is no ling i still wouldnt go him. Selly is in decent form with a nice score last week and we all know that gellong can go bang after a big loss, has been a little up and down on the dogs in the past and there is the picken tag to wrry about.

Pendles without Swan is interesting but he should do just fine, has been pretty solid against the crows in the past and appears to be the safest pick.  Pendles for Safety but Joel for reward up to you.

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!

Well Zorko is the obvious pick so im going to assume that you already have him if not pick him up.  You actually have a few other options Koby stevens from the eagles is a good player but his JS is pretty bad with the quality of the eagles squad and may not make the cut today.

The best rookies who will be on the buble next week are darley and walsh but they arent mids so that doesnt help you much. To be honest i wouldnt have that much confidence in sexton, he isnt a bad rookie downgrade as compared to the others he is ok but definately not safe and it may hurt you in the byes but if you have to do it you might be forced too.

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)

I prefer the back downgrade, your forwardline and backline is pretty similar in strength so you could go either one i do prefer your forwardline bench though so would stregthen the backline. Scotland is cheapish and is a decent pick and i would hate to be starting one of the your back bench players.

Yeah ive hated seeing 40's and 50's in that D7 spot all year. Cheerz holz going with scotland ;D

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?

I brought in Mitchell this week is realy really cheap for what he can do, has played 2 bad games and the rest have been really good has a nice draw coming up and im expecting 100s nearly every week from here on.

I was thinking gibbs but ratten has said he wont change his role and cover murphy's spot its looking like lucas or mclean will do that so would stay away from him. If you already have mitchell your options are abit limited and if you cant afford gaz than you might have to go a guy like Rocky but mitchell is much better.

Hall to Zorko and Murphy to Watson
OR
Milera to Zorko and Murphy to Pendlebury

this is a hard one i much prefer pendles to watson but you really need to get rid of Hall and milera is playing so the first option is better.

What do you think about Murphy to Pendlebury and Swan to Zorko, then Hall to a premium next round?

Adding swanny ot the mix makes it more difficult, i orginally got rid of swanny but hearing rumours he might be back next week and alot of people now saying he should be back round 11 i would keep him. Watson isnt that bad a pick has been great this year like essendon, if they can keep it up he will. IM anti essendon so im bias against watson and stanton they are probably good picks.

[Chelskiman]

I need one to start out of these three - T. Adams, A. Kennedy or T. Dickson.

would feel to safe with any, would rule out dickson based on who they are playing coin flip between the other two  but i would go with adams.

[Chelskiman]

It's for my F7, so I'm not expecting big scores.  Would be happy with a 65 tbh.  But cheers.

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.

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!

Well Zorko is the obvious pick so im going to assume that you already have him if not pick him up.  You actually have a few other options Koby stevens from the eagles is a good player but his JS is pretty bad with the quality of the eagles squad and may not make the cut today.

The best rookies who will be on the buble next week are darley and walsh but they arent mids so that doesnt help you much. To be honest i wouldnt have that much confidence in sexton, he isnt a bad rookie downgrade as compared to the others he is ok but definately not safe and it may hurt you in the byes but if you have to do it you might be forced too.

Thanks for the reply holz! I should have mentioned I already have zorko in the fwds, so think I may have to go to sexton. I know his js isn't great, but he is named this week where as koby is coming out of the eagles this week... So looks like sextons my only option...
