Swanny the big fat pig

[biggy12]

okay elite DT coaches, it's time i disregard my pride and ask for some advice.

I've played a risky strategy so far without having swanny in my team, and it's starting to cost me...and if I don't make a decision soon it could cost me even more. However, do i pay his inflated price now, or do i wait and hope he pulls out a shocker before finals?
I have two trade options, either upgrading my fwd or mids, and I'm tossing up between the better combo?

Do I upgrade Priddis to Swanny, and leave Dickson on my field? (Swan/Dickson)
Or do I upgrade my bench in Cameron to a cheap Jordan Lewis? (Priddis/Lewis)

Either way, both trades will occur over the next few weeks before finals. I just need some help into deciding which is best to do now?

You need to get the pig, but the way you are doing it sounds stupid.

But you may think how I'm getting Swan is stupid lol.

Reckon priddis needs to stay, very consitent.

Maybe we will have a better idea if you show your full team.

How's that Whatlez?

I'd get Swan. I think that pair is likely to have a higher score. Dickson has been pumping out some pretty decent scores.

[Toga]

I'd go swan/dicko!

Swan on average would probably outscore priddis by what, 20-30 ppg? With the potential to go like 170, that could be an extra 60 ppg if Priddis gets 110...

Jordan Lewis is solid for a 80-90 average, not a bad pick up i reckon, however dicko has potential to go bang and cop a 90, but could also slump and get like a 60....

To be honest you have to get the pig in this situation, every chance Lewis and Dickson will finish the rest of they year almost even, but swanny will smash priddis...

GET THE PIGGY!

Def: Deledio, Waters, Birchall, Goddard, Carrazzo, Dempsey, Hargrave      (Mohr, Tomlinson)

Mid: Ablett, Watson, Rockliff, Mitchell, J. Kennedy, Priddis          (Gibson, Sexton)

Ruck: Cox, Giles      (Orren, Redden)

For: Sidebottom, Franklin, Beams, Robinson, Martin, Zorko, Dickson      (Cameron, Hall)

6 trades, 283K

*Already traded McDonald to Gibson for the cash

I know the team isn't nearly as elite as you guys, but I just need the heads up on where to upgrade next. So pretty much my choices are to get in the pig, or upgrade my forward line. How you reckon I go about it Whatlez?

Thanks for your advice guys. Nice advice Toga!

[fertalong]

Swanny is a must. Get him in ASAP!
Also, instead of Lewis, Goodes might be a better option in a couple of weeks.

[Marcos83]

Leave your mids as they are for time being and upgrade your backline by getting rid of hargraves to a premium.

Dickson doing alright and I disagree that priddis will average 30 ppg less than swan. Priddis is a monster and will average 110-120 for the rest of the year. Granted swan is a gun but fix your back first then forward and then get swan for priddis\rockcliff(just to up down for me and dont consider as a super premium)

Get rid of dickson for goodes when he bottoms out and forget lewis for time being.

Best of luck

no worries mate, glad to help you!

i like your team! only suggestions would be maybe a swap of hargrave -> broughton, hanley or heater maybe?

mids definitely need a super super premo along the lines of boyd or swanny or even pendles when he price drops...

FWD line okay for now i think, maybe in the future (trades permitting) get dickson out for goodesy!

really really disagree with you sorry mate... have a look at Priddis' season scores - if you can get swanny in for him, get him in... priddis doesn't have a high enough ceiling to make it into my mids...

rockliff on the other hand is one of my personal favourites (obviously haha!) - high cieling, has only been below par this year because voss has been mucking around with his position - i think he could easily go 115+ for the rest of the year  ::)

[Marcos83]

far enough with rockcliff.

Agree that Swan is a wayyy better pick and will average more but you have dont have 12 trades to play with. If your already doing alright and going for league win and in decent position then hold the priddis>swan to just before the finals.

At least you agree that hargrave > premioum and dickson > goodes should be done  ;D

After all that noticed this is DT and not SC. In SC priddis is a jet but now I understand as a DT why you would trade him. MY BAD.

hahahaha i was wondering about that... as far as i could recall priddy wasn't thatt good! but still solid enough, and i agree that an option could be to trade priddy-swan just before finals trades permitting, but the pig really does needa be in your team.
