Weak links gotta go

Dave085 · June 06, 2014, 05:26:57 PM

I have a weak link in each of the Def/Mid/Ruck but which one will be better off this week and in the long run. Cash gain/efficiency is my goal.

With $93,584 secured in the bank what would you do???
Ill start with Hallahan (only because it is unlikely he will play) to Shenton. This will leave me with $187,330.

Def - McVeigh, Birchall, D. Swallow, Hibberd, Suckling, Langdon Emerg - Georgiou, Bews

Mid - Beams, Ablett, J. Selwood, Stanton, Swan, Cotchin, N. Jones, Polec Emerg - N. Jetta, Hallahan

Ruck - Sandilands, Grundy Emerg - Derickx, Currie

Fwd - Dangerfield, Dalhaus, B. Harvey, Parker, D. Martin, Tex Walker Emerg - Honeychurch, C. Cameron.

Langdon->Simpson?

or

Polec->Barlow?

Pyke isn't playing, so you can probably rely on Derickxx for one more round...

Dave085 · June 06, 2014, 05:46:27 PM

I could have sworn I saw Pyke was back in... ??? Think they said it on AFL360.

Pyke's been named emergency..

Emergencies; B Jack, Pyke, Rohan. Unchanged.

Anyway, I'd say Langdon to Simpson is your best bet. With Boak and White out of the Port line up, I can see Polec having a good game as he'll need to step up against the saints. Just hope they don't send a tag to him!

He was named on Thursday AFL lineups however hasn't made the final cut....

Mummy!

Right, well its got to be between Grundy and Langdon to get the boot.

Is Derickx good enough cover for one week allowing me to trade in Simpson?

You reckon Mummy over Minson? Hes looking good...

He is good enough cover- get Simmo!

Jazzoskies · June 06, 2014, 06:33:22 PM

Derickx (still looking awkward as heck on the field) is still able to get a somewhat respectable score while he has been the sole ruck. Not sure if Pyke will be a late in or something (doubt it). I would however be more comfortable picking Langdon to play over Derickx for one week.

With the ruck question.
Both look like reliable options, Mumford seems to hit his straps again after the comeback game, Minson has been solid all year.
Personally I have Mummy so am biased there. But probably 50/50 either way?

Langdon should get his BE, Polec probably won't...
So I'd go Polec to Barlow.

This is why I did exactly this trade ;D

Dave085 · June 06, 2014, 08:35:16 PM

Last minute change, and just got it in too so it was a bit silly to leave it so late... Went with Polec to Barlow and Hallahan to Shenton. Not sure what triggered the change but hey, fingers crossed!

Cheers for the advice all.
