Carn's 2014 team

[Gords]

Are you going to replace Hickey?

Are you going to replace Hickey?

Yes I will have too. Derickx has been solid for a 70 through the byes but after I will downgrade and upgrade Hickey. He has got another 40k-ish to make.

[Carn]

That is an awesome midfield. Any reason for going Robbo to Hartung this week? I'd assume it's cause you already have 3 trades planned for next week.

Not sure on Lmac to Tippett. Lmac definitely has to go, but not sure on Tippett's JS. Aren't really many other options though. Could be better off waiting a week on SJ perhaps, and upgrading Lmac instead? Suckling too  if you can afford it. Then next week bring in one of SJ/Selwood, depending on B/Es.

Your plan is still pretty good though, so can stick with it if you wish.

Yeah Robbo > Hartung this week for cash. so next week i can do these 3:  Higgins > Selwood,  Laidler > Swallow/hurn, JHK > Rookie.
I have 21 playing this week so don;t need robbo to play.

Charlie Cameron if her looks ok could be the downgrade for JKH and allow another player on the field next week.

If you have 21 players this week and not sure of your cash situation whether it is worth McDonald to Docherty rather than Tippett - Prefer Dochertys JS than Tippett, but just Personal.  Doc will be on the bubble next week and has a very achievable B/e.

Docherty looked good. I am not sure what I am hoping for with a 285k player. Bye cover and slight price rise? If he can keep up the scoring though could be a D6 for a little while.

Score - 1980, Rank 1,462

Trade thoughts
R10 Higgins > Selwood,  Laidler > Hurn, JHK > Cameron

This round:
McVeigh Hibberd Simpson Suckling Hurn Langdon (Tippett Cutler)
Ablett Pendlebury Watson Beams Fyfe Rocky Stevie J Selwood (Acres Hartung)
Sandy Derickx (Currie Hickey)
Dangerfield Martin Roughead Parker Zorko Fasolo (Lloyd Cameron)

Good trade plan?

[Keeper27]

What about Jaensch instead of hurn?

[GoLions]

What about Jaensch instead of hurn?

Hurn's b/e is extremely low this week, Jaensch I think is still around 100. Both are keepers. I'm getting Hurn this week, Jaensch next week.

[Carn]

What about Jaensch instead of hurn?

Yep, why not have both!

BE this week:
Hurn 54
Jaench 102

[Carn]

Disaster this week with injuries/suspensions only 14 on field. Need to look ahead to stay positive.
Def  - weakest line
Mids  - killer
Ruck  - finished
Fwd  - one left

Trade thoughts
R11 Lloyd > Shenton, Laidler > Jaench

Left with:
McVeigh Simpson Hibberd Jaench Suckling Langdon (Tippett Cutler)
Ablett Pendlebury Selwood Watson Beams SJ Fyfe Rocky (Acres Hartung)
Sandy Goldy (Derickx Currie)
Dangerfield Martin Parker Roughead Zorko Fasolo (Shenton Cameron)

Hmmm... Leaves me with 9 trades and Fas/Langdon/Suckling upgrades to make, starting to get a little scary...

[Carn]

Team for rd 12:
Swallow McVeigh Simpson Hibberd Jaench Suckling (Tippett Cutler)
Ablett Pendlebury Selwood Watson Beams SJ Fyfe Rocky (Acres Hartung)
Sandy Goldy (Smith Currie)
Dangerfield Martin Parker Roughead Zorko Fasolo (Shenton Cameron)

3k rank, 114k bank, 7 trades
next round Hartung>ZOB, Fas>R.Gray
This will finish my team. Would have loved to upgrade suckling but I am down to 5 trades next week so think I will have to sit on him from here.

Rd 13:
Swallow McVeigh Simpson Hibberd Jaench Suckling (Tippett Cutler)
Ablett Pendlebury Selwood Watson Beams SJ Fyfe Rocky (Acres ZOB)

What do you guys think of this squad?

4.5k rank, 114bank, 7 trades
Thinking Watson>R.Gray, Fas>Wingard

Swallow McVeigh Simpson Hibberd Jaench Suckling (Tippett Cutler)
Ablett Pendlebury Selwood Dangerfield Beams SJ Fyfe Rocky (Acres Hartung)
Sandy Goldy (Smith Currie)
Gray Martin Parker Roughead Zorko Wingard (Shenton Cameron)

Can someone tell me if this is a good idea?

[GoLions]

You're essentially playing an extra forward instead of a midfielder, which isn't a good idea

Watson has to go to a premium mid, maybe Barlow? Then upgrade Fas to the best forward you can I reckon

So do you think it is better to go:
Watson>JPK,
Fas>s.Martin
or
Watson>Slone
Fas>Wingard

[GoLions]

Not really a fan of either of those forward options tbh. Wingard has been spending too much time forward to score like he did last year, and Martin has only played the one game (plus Leuey is due back in around a month apparently, so wouldn't be a keeper)

I'd go Watson to JPK, Hartung to O'Brien

Then see if you can upgrade Fas the week after
