Colmullet's 2013

[Ringo]

According to my calculations you can afford Mullett to any prem defender up to $553k.  Brings quite a few into play and will get you your 4th keeper,  Know it depletes cash but can rebuild next week with Lonergan on the bubble.

[colmullet]

well the plan for next week was to grab Priddis for Wines and Heath to a back premo

is lonergan next week a better option than Vlas or Hannath this week?

other problem is who the hell are good premo backmen this year? haha they are dropping like flies and the only one i have liked is Hanley who is quite expensive and has a pretty tough run coming up, either than or someone like Hibberd/Malceski who are both in good form

[colmullet]

if i go that way it will be Byrnes -> Stevie J, Mullet -> Shaw (Goodies to mids bench) this week and then

Heath -> Lonergan (Goodes back down back to be on field on his return), Wines -> Priddis next week

[Ringo]

Do not know what your thoughts are on Harbrow but he seems to be flying under the radar and playing well in a side under the pump.  Has a lowish B/e this week which he should achieve.

[colmullet]

true he does look good but will he be in the top 10 or so defenders?

[tor01doc]

Can you afford H Shaw and SJ if you oust Mullett and Byrnes?

2 pretty good long term value keepers both about to become more expensive.

[colmullet]

yeah thats what ive done this week then next week Heath -> Lonergan and Wines -> Priddis

[felsty]

Like the plan mullet! Looks good :)

[colmullet]

ok, for this week it looks like 2/3 of the port boys have to go, they are all pretty much maxed out and have put up 3 low scores with respect to their prices.

Heath -> Mid Rookie (Lonergan?) is the first move to get Goodes down back and on the field to provide better cover.

the next move has many options

1. Wines -> Low breakeven rookie (Kerridge/Vlastuin/Daw)
2. Neade -> Low breakeven forward rookie (Kerridge/Kennedy maybe?..)
3. Neade -> Franklin (Just able to do this along with the Heath -> Lonergan trade)
4. Wines -> Franklin (Keeps a little more money in the kit)
5. Wines -> Priddis
6. Jacobs -> Goldstein (probably other priorities to look at first but it is an option)

lots and lots of options, what do we think? im leaning towards 1 or 3

[colmullet]

well teams being named has thrown a few spanners in the works with donut eating down back

im thinking now of going Heath -> Thurlow and Neade -> Buddy and moving Goodes onto the field down back and resting Gibbs on the mids bench with Viney so i avoid all donuts

however is it worth missing the donut by grabbing Thurlow a week early and missing out on Lonergan until maybe next week after his first price rise

[tor01doc]

Have you considered sending Gibbs packing, moving Goodes back, grabbing Lonergan and seeing who you can afford if you get rid of

1: Wines - so a gun mid

2: Neade - a gun forward?

Would leave you with a decent stash to get a slightly cheaper than this week premium like Hanley or, Selwood for example.

I just hate that much money on my bench: ie over $1 mill and you get a donut to boot!

[colmullet]

yeah it does hurt, but for me i think if i was to get rid of Gibbs it would probably have to have been done a few weeks ago, i mean chances are he fronts up next week

it is a thought though your right

[colmullet]

is it worth it............

Goodes -> Lonergan
Wines - J. Selwood

leaves me with a grand total of $100 in the kitty with Staker to come in next week for some cash

[tor01doc]

At first glance - no.

Is your latest team posted somewhere?

Goodes looks too reliable to trade out at this stage.

Hasn't Lonergan just gone up a lot?

[colmullet]

yeah team is as posted above except with Heath -> Thurlow and Neade -> Buddy

also have Gibbs on my mids bench and Goodes down back
