How can I win my Prelim?

[Jay]

I would go-

Nicholls > Rioli ( Via Roughy )

If your not keen on some Rioli then just hold as Gawn is in good form plus GWS this week.

Nicholls should be back next week but beware he will begin to lose cash unless he scores 120+

Otherwise very strong going into finals Jay !

Cheers mate. Im vsing an absolute spud this week so I reckon I'll hold Nicholls and reassess next week leading up to the first final.

#InGawnWeTrust :P

[Vinny]

Haha sounds good champ.

[Jay]

Vinny, doc and co :D I have a big final coming up! Have 5 trades and 41.8k to spend this week.



What do we think?

[tor01doc]

Minson and Grimley in for Nicholls and Gawn.

[Vinny]

Yeah The Doc's trades look good but just grab Grundy instead. Same price and has more chance of playing.

Looking good with 3 trades left Jay.

JPK > Watson.

Then one more downgrade and upgrade Priddis if you would like ?

Leaving you with a gun team. :)

EDIT: You could probably afford to go Priddis > Danger straightaway with the cash left over after trading Nicholls and JPK.

[Ringo]

Like Doc's trade - either Grundy or Grimley good choice,

Next week even if you go Straight to prelim I would look at trading Martin to Rioli if he does not get his B/e as i think you will have just enough cash to do this.  Will open up a DPP allowing more flexibilty,  Still 2 trades as well.

[tor01doc]

If Jolly looks like he's a week or two off returning, then Grundy does look a better prospect than Grimley.

[Jay]

Have no games this week due to being in prelims so it looks like no trades? Have 3 left and 180k.

B: Goddard, Hartett, Hanley, Shaw, Gibbs, Ibbo [Clisby, Thurlow]

M: Pendles, GAJ, Swan, Griff, Barlow, Cotch, JPK, Pridd [Titchell, KMartin]

R: Minson, Cox. [Rowe, Grundy]

F: Walker, Martin, Rocky, Roughy, JJK, SteveJ [Staker, BenKen]

[Vinny]

Yeah just sit tight Jay!

Your back cover is a worry now that Clisby is done but Thurlow is killing in the 2s so hope he plays soon.

If JPK spuds one more time- Straight to Selwood.

Then maybe Ibbo to Hibberd,

[Jay]

Have 3 trades left and 180k.

B: Goddard, Hartett, Hanley, Shaw, Gibbs, Ibbo [Clisby, Thurlow]

M: Pendles, GAJ, Swan, Griff, Barlow, Cotch, JPK, Pridd [Titchell, KMartin]

R: Minson, Cox. [Rowe, Grundy]

F: Walker, Martin, Rocky, Roughy, JJK, SteveJ [Staker, BenKen]

[Ringo]

I would do this Jay Hartlett to Birchill or Brandon Ellis and
Clisby to a forward you can afford by way of Staker, Maybe Petrie who is averaging 112 in last 3 games and game is at Etihad.
or Mitchell to a mid that you prefer up to $600k
or Ibbo to Bob Murphy.

Use emergency loopholes as well if able over the weekend.

[Jay]

Cheers Ringo. Any other thoughts, guys?

[Vinny]

Yeah I like Hibberd or Birchall as Hibberd is the consistency king closely followed by Adcock.

But Bob Murphy is great too.

Clisby to a forward sounds good to. Wellingham?

Ibbotson is a worry too and you might have to use your last trade on him but you got no other weak links so all good :)

[Jay]

If I trade Clisby to a fwd then I'll be benching JJK. Seems like a waste having him on the bench when I'm starting Staker in the backs.

Sure it wouldnt be better trading Hartlett and Ibbo to ensure I have maximum points this week?

[Jay]

Anyone think I should take the 114 from Pendles? Or just go with GAJ and hope he bounces back into some form.

Worried because my opponent has Danger VC. Could go huge :-\
