Sorry 10,000

Confusis · 08/04/2013 at 14:04
hey, is anyone out there having trouble with the S/Coach trading window??? Can't work out how you substitute a player into a different posi as part of the trading process??

Sam · 02/04/2013 at 11:08
I cleaned up this week betting on supercoach with Sportsbet. They also gave me a $250 free bet for registering here- http://bit.ly/250freebet

Tony · 02/04/2013 at 13:54
I think you left a 'p' out of your username …

Moro · 02/04/2013 at 20:39
HA!

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:25
Well done popey – solid start to the season son. Rip em a new one in round 2 eh!

@Popey_99 · 03/04/2013 at 13:42
Thanks mate, yeah, get stuck in round 2!

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:27
Mate.. depends on which players youre missing. If you dont have Gibbs, Rockliff, Wines, Viney or Goodes I'd be working my trades with the priority of getting these blokes in…. i worry about going to Kennedy – dont feel he will be the premium some think he will be

Liam · 05/04/2013 at 15:11
does it really matter if kennedy isnt a premium ? I've trading Lecras for Kennedy knowing im going to upgrade Kennedy when his price goes up. i think its the safest and best option for the Lecras situation.

steve · 05/04/2013 at 19:55
dont be afraid to go with kennedy, hard to do better at that price and he will average minimum 80+ so at the least he could be a stepping stone to a true premium, plus he got me over 100 last round in sc with only 2 goals while only really being good for a half till mcpharlin took him on. if he kicks a bag he could easily give you 130 plus and the eagles draw gets easier after hawthorn. hope that helps your decision. although as jock said if you’re missing any of the guys he named make them your priority. i have them all and they were a huge part of my personal best ever 2292 start.

Ryan · 01/04/2013 at 22:39
or Ryder out for Rockliff?
or stick with who I've got?

Dan · 03/04/2013 at 00:22
ryder for rockliffe yes

The Old Dylan · 01/04/2013 at 22:41
Hold. He will come good! Unless he sustained some injury on the weekend that I missed…

Kev · 01/04/2013 at 23:11
Rich is fine – Good enough to draw at tag, not good enough to beat one

Jacko · 02/04/2013 at 20:17
Stick with Zorko The Magnificent. One bad week….he'll produce big time

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:28
Nah mate… keep the Zork… but work on getting Rockliff in another way.. no sideways trading is a rule I stick to pretty rigidly

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:28
top stuff son!

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:28
Was shocked with Higgo's grovelling mate. There was some disciplinry action post podcast last night

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:29
Cheers Hank!! You're a ripper

Te Ninja · 01/04/2013 at 23:35
Nice.
Finished #2203. By far my best start playing as many rookies as I did.

Tim · 01/04/2013 at 23:39
What was ur scores??

Te Ninja · 02/04/2013 at 00:21
2391 pts for me.

@deanws82 · 02/04/2013 at 01:27
2493 – 13 tons and viney on bench too. Only had 3 scores under 90. Can't believe my luck. But you watch, I'll be under 2000 next week.

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:29
Ripping start Deano!! Well done

Mdawgga · 02/04/2013 at 08:33
It will be like 35-45…

@MRB37 · 02/04/2013 at 14:55
He has a BE of 52 in Rd 2.

tension · 03/04/2013 at 18:29
Thanks @MRB37. Are you pleased with how round one went?
What about overall strategy? I've gone light down back and heavy in ruck and fwd line.

Josh · 02/04/2013 at 17:41
Hey mate, I also took the risk of Longer as R2 with the idea of bringing Berger in once he is playing full games. Is that your strategy? It's a slight worry as Longer looked like a nobody on the weekend and will be up against Jacobs this week, so I'm bloody hoping Berger gets back this week and if he puts in a decent game, trade him in. Surely he's worth it as long as he stays fit?

Eagling · 02/04/2013 at 20:53
That was my idea too; with the split round I was hoping Leuenberger would play so I put Cox in the forward line. Figured Longer could play R1 for a round then hold R2 for a few weeks until Leuenberger / Nic Nat came back and proved themselves.
Wasn't such a flash idea in retrospect; but still I'm not going to trade. Cox will play R1 and Blicavs/Longer will play R2.

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:30
Let me tell you mate I was no slouch on the dance floor down the 21st century Frankston. Few notches on the bedpost after my exploits re: Disco

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:31
Mate – sure as the hair on my upper lip she'll be back.. no bloody doubt about it. Soon as I got on the Supercoach show she was sending me the texts and what not. Unreal.

Big Will · 02/04/2013 at 11:57
NO SIDEWAYS TRADES! its only been round 1, I've got them both but I reckon Zorko will average higher by the end of the year.

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:31
Hold another week at least before you think of these antics mate.. and yep – I'm with Big Will – sideways trades are just asking for the Supercoach gods to unload on your team

Blah · 02/04/2013 at 00:06
Yes

@MRB37 · 02/04/2013 at 14:52
Wouldn't be too worried about Shuey, Crowley will do that to guys. I've also got the Duffman and i'd like to see a better score out of him next week, but even then I may have other priorities to take care of first up (namely LeCras).

Mac · 03/04/2013 at 22:46
Duffield to Hartlett could be an incredibly justifiable trade come the end of round 2.

@Popey_99 · 02/04/2013 at 00:10
Higgo! Are you quitting the fantasy footy fraternity or something! Fantasy haters aren't welcome in these parts. Retract old son!

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:32
Higgo – I'm devestated by your antics re: The Fox lass. Need you in the bungalow in 05:00 hours tomorrow morning.

dools · 03/04/2013 at 22:07
Higgo, WTF Mate. Your Status is tottering!

Mdawgga · 02/04/2013 at 08:39
I'd be looking at cloke 92 on the weekend had a pretty average game with not many contested marks or tackles, low efficiency aswell I think he can get himself above the tone regularly

Mac · 03/04/2013 at 22:50
No need to hate on Melbourne. Though I will say that a change in culture is very much needed.

Legend123 · 02/04/2013 at 08:01
Have been thinking about that. hopefully hannerbry makes a stack of cash and then trade down to danger field and later on whoever makes more money between jjk and karn will the be traded up to franklin. Cheers

@MRB37 · 02/04/2013 at 14:50
Yep, I have the same idea with trading Maloney up to Dangerfield by Rd 7-8 once Dangers price levels out.

Dan · 02/04/2013 at 01:47
Don’t get stars in your eyes they played melbourne who had an underdone forward defending him
How about Charlie dixon

@MRB37 · 02/04/2013 at 14:49
Schultz is still an inconsistent beast. Never played more than 16 games (last 4 years have been 16, 16, 16 and 15) and his highest career average is 80. Will most likely be just as good or slightly better than last year if he stays on the park though, just have to deal with dud scores every now and then. He'll most likely have Truck or Talia on him against Adelaide, his last two scores VS Adelaide are 60 and 43, so that's not exactly a gimmie there.
As Dan said, he was playing Melbourne, freaking Beau Maister kicked a bag against them last year, so I certainly wouldn't be going gaga over him.

dools · 03/04/2013 at 22:09
Most excellent Piont of view MRB37 Agree totally But what a score from the lad? worth looking at after next week me thinks?

TREVOR · 02/04/2013 at 11:03
you legend

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:33
HOLY CRAP BALLS LEGEND!! Thats unreal mate! Well done

Mac · 03/04/2013 at 22:52
Good on ya champ

SCaddict · 02/04/2013 at 10:10
They are all viable options. I would lean towards option 2 and bank the $70K change. You're right JJK scores will fluctuate but believe he will average a score well above his pricing with excellent JS.

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:34
Not a fan of any of your LeCras options mate. Would prefer you traded him down to a neade or a Dwyer and stash some cash for your pre round 3 trade session

chandanrajdb · 03/04/2013 at 08:09
Hi Jock,
1st time you have replied to my request mate….i am really over the moon now….feeling really really happy that you did…..thank you very much…….i will take your word and will trade LeCras to Dwyer……what do you think of his JS and same will apply to Neade…..once R Gray comes back to the team i see Neade position in best 22 will be a problem…….anyways i wouldn't think anything and will replace LeCras to S Dwyer……purely because of your wording……. thank you very much once again…….

jockreynolds · 03/04/2013 at 13:28
you're welcome old son – I suppose the moral of my teachings here mate is to avoid the 'sideways' trade wherever you can. Look to either UPRADE him or DOWNGRADE him.. otherwise you'll sure as anything be stuck in this same pickle in a few weeks time

chandanrajdb · 03/04/2013 at 13:32
Thanks a lot for your reply Jock….would be downgrading him so that ill have some cash left…..

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:35
Thank you very much indeed Don! Appreciate it mate and rapt that you've dropped on for a chat.
Yes… there was a serious breach of respect in Jock Studios last night and the issue will be dealt with severely.

dools · 03/04/2013 at 22:16
Excellent observation mate Cloke did win me the GF last year with 157 a Most capable and deserving player to grace any squad but until after rnd 2 as you say not looking at him ……just yet…..Maybe….Ya he is on me radar okay nuf said LOL

SC Legend. · 02/04/2013 at 16:11
Hold for a week and see how they perform next week before jumping on the Dalhouse train. He is very tempting and would make a nice point of difference though. However,
Rule #1 of Supercoach is don't give in to the round one flyer.

Rosy · 02/04/2013 at 11:22
Leave him. Ryder will average over 100 by season's end and all that will happen is you'll look back and think 'What a wasted trade!'.

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:36
Nah leave him in mate – remember it was a slippery pill… odd game… he'll do well this year

Will · 02/04/2013 at 12:53
I too had 5 of the names above…….Im worried……Im hoping Terlich,Vlastuin,Crouch and maybe Currie get a run in the next two weeks…….Only scored 2130 something…….Not very pleased…..

Pommy · 02/04/2013 at 14:16
Surely they have to play next two weeks…. Would be great to hear anybody elses view on this…

SC Legend. · 02/04/2013 at 16:09
Vlastuin will be vest affected for the majority of the opening games he plays in so won't increase in price my a huge amount I would say.
If you don't have Goodes, Pittard, even Stevenson and Heath for cash generation in your backline I would get them in.
As well as Viney, Wines, O'meara and even Mitchell in your midfield they will all generate some good cash.
I personally have Currie and Rowe on the bench in my ruck, backing them to get some game time soon. Blicavs played for me this week and was pleased with 56 – even if he gets cut from here on in.
Don't know why you need Mcbean as a swingman if you already have Rowe.
Crouch will get game time, if he doesn't get named this week. I'll be starting to get a bit anxious and a Kommer trade may be in play the following week so I can downgrade to Crouch once he starts to get game.
Overall, as long as you are happy with your premium performances, or even if you're not. You selected them so you must have faith and back them.
Have a good one.

SCaddict · 02/04/2013 at 16:35
You just need to make sure you have Wines, Viney, O'Meara, Goodes, Stevenson and Pittard. If you are missing any of these guys then I advise you trade them in IMMEDIATELY otherwise you will likely be missing out on the best cash cows available.
Terlich, Vlastuin and Crouch should all get opportunities sooner rather than later but there are no guarantees. So if these guys aren't named in Rd 2 you should almost certainly move them on for the names I listed above otherwise you could be left well behind in the cash generation stakes.

Pommy · 02/04/2013 at 17:37
You guys are machines. Completely agree on all counts.
I have O'Meara, Goodes, Pittard, Mitchell, Viney & Stevenson and very happy with their output. Crouch out, Wines in might be the move if Crouch isn't selected round 2.
Enlisted McBean as part of TheCrouchingOne's genious captains loophole tactic. Turns out having a player not selected, has not been a problem for my team – #rookiepom

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:37
Gday there Pommy – great to meet you mate/
I'm on board with Supercoach Legends thought here>>
"If you don't have Goodes, Pittard, even Stevenson and Heath for cash generation in your backline I would get them in.
As well as Viney, Wines, O'meara and even Mitchell in your midfield they will all generate some good cash."
Regardless of who you have you need to move now if you are missing several of the players he mentioned.

Smittzzy · 02/04/2013 at 11:58
Rough will be fine mate. Geelong has one of the best lock down Backline's and usually destroy forwards scores, Max Bailey will go out of Hawthorns side next week for Lake. Roughy will get more ruck time and get some good scores. Hold on to him mate hes proven.
Lecras is up to you.

Rally cat · 02/04/2013 at 13:09
Thanks mate 🙂 hopefully next week he rips it up , still deciding on le cras 🙂

SCaddict · 02/04/2013 at 16:45
Yeah I agree with Smittzzy. Hold firm on Roughy. He just had a shocker like Buddy but will likely bounce back.
Lecca will probably be out too long to feasibly hang on to. Either JJK, Siposs or Monfries would be good replacements.

@MRB37 · 02/04/2013 at 14:42
Looked pretty good, reasonable trade target if you have LeCras.

Big Will · 02/04/2013 at 14:10
Probably Vlastuin, but see who's named on Thursday.

Will · 03/04/2013 at 11:31
Cheers

@MRB37 · 02/04/2013 at 14:41
Keep him for now.

@MRB37 · 02/04/2013 at 14:41
Mitchell looked pretty impressive against the Cats. Don't think you can go wrong with him.

SCaddict · 02/04/2013 at 16:51
Since you probably need cash for Gaz acquisition JJK would be a nice addition and save you some money. Siposs is another to consider for similar coinage. Will give you more freedom on who you trade out for Gaz next week.

Deanbartel · 02/04/2013 at 21:12
I currently have Shuey/D'field/Bennell and neither performed to my expectations. At the end of round 2 i'll be downgrading one of them to a rookie (probably K Stevens or Crouch) and the other to Ablett. Obviously if all 3 of these blokes perform, i'll be keeping them another week at least. This downgrade will make me more than enough cash for Ablett so I can really afford to sideways trade deboer to Martin/Walker etc.. Do you think it would be a bad idea? I already have 2 mid pricers in my FWD line

SCaddict · 02/04/2013 at 21:48
Well I have Dusty so I'm not going to say it would be a bad idea to trade Lecca for him although he certainly has his critics here. Reckon he's fairly priced and should deliver acceptable output for the money with plenty of unrealised potential/upside. Not everyone has that view though.

Deanbartel · 03/04/2013 at 06:43
I had him in and out of my side for about a month pre-season. I want to believe in him haha, might take a punt!

@MRB37 · 02/04/2013 at 15:25
From what I've heard, Crouch is very likely to make his debut up in Brisbane.

SCaddict · 02/04/2013 at 17:04
It would be a risky play I reckon. Often forecasts can prove too optimistic and the player may end up returning a few weeks later than expected especially if the Eagles are flying at the time.
So with the extra trades you should probably burn one and bring in another forward you like. You could always trade Lecca back in if he performs in his second game (whenever that is) and another one of your forwards is slumping or injured.
If you can wait another week you can get a good idea of which mid pricer represents the best value. As I didn't have Rocky and had the spare cash it was a no brainer so have made the move this week.

G Unit · 02/04/2013 at 16:39
Thinking the same, but for who? Saw Geary mentioned previously, who had caught my eye. Hartlett is another option, other then that maybe the Higginbotham downgrade option may be the go

johnny · 02/04/2013 at 17:29
downgrade to who? another rookie
my backline is newman, gibbs, goddard, heppell, goodes, pittard subs stevenson and terlich bench

Tommy Gun · 02/04/2013 at 19:35
Heath from port and Frost from collingwood did alright scored in the 70s and might be worth considering otherwise an upgrade is one of the few remaining options.

SCaddict · 02/04/2013 at 19:39
Campbell Heath is worth looking at especially if he is named again for Rd 2 and 3 which appears more likely than not. You'd then have the identical backline to me. 😉
Another one to consider is Suban especially if he has another 100 plus game. Harry O also looks to offer some value with his new role on the wing.
It's probably worth hanging on to Newey at least one more week but if he has another quiet game then yes maybe it's worth making a move to one of the guys I mentioned above.

Mr X · 02/04/2013 at 17:09
I don't think that is a bad move. Ablett is a must have and will haunt you when we start playing league matches, although Kennedy will not turn out consistent tons, he should still make you some cash along the way

Atley · 02/04/2013 at 17:15
I don't mind the rollercoaster of JJK considering his price. Just not sure I can live with Petrie/Dusty considering the opportunity cost. Will probably make the decision after 1 more week depending who looks like the better option. I was only hanging onto Petrie purely for the potential of big scores as a unique but not sure if that was wise. May have to the other one on the chopping block too if they continue to underperform.
Ablett seems like a must have even with risk of him playing a forward role in the future
Thanks Mr X

Dan · 03/04/2013 at 00:37
just do it wht are you waiting for pettard for ablett ?? say it to yourself a few times and you will realise how much sense it makes

dools · 03/04/2013 at 22:30
No AbblettTTTT NO tEAMMMMmmmm ddo It

Justin · 03/04/2013 at 02:01
Ablett is picked in almost 50% of the teams, so if he doesn't do well, most people pick him as captain anyway, so you won't be too far off, it's a no loose situation

SCaddict · 03/04/2013 at 09:32
You just have to get GAJ in either this round or next before the price movements. He could go up to something ridiculous like $800K not to mention the massive captain scores you could be missing out on whilst you wait to bring him in.
If there were any doubts about his role this season or how that may affect his scoring potential they were all blown to smithereens last Saturday.

Smittzzy · 02/04/2013 at 18:14
Wines played an awful Melbourne playing group my friend, He's a freak but only 18 your not going to keep the whole season as he won't have premium out put. Kane Mitchell and Wines should just be used as cash cows and traded when they have peaked, No use trading cash cows they will both make you some good money Mitchell won't always have the green vest.
To be honest mate i feel Crouchy will struggle to break into a jam packed Adelaide midfield and also lack serious scores if he does.

SCaddict · 02/04/2013 at 19:53
Whilst I wouldn't expect young Ollie to continue to generate 100 plus scores he's about as close as you can get to a sure thing in terms of cash cow potential given the inside contested brand of footy he plays combined with his high JS.
So you really need to find a way to squeeze him in somehow.

dools · 02/04/2013 at 20:29
Wait 1 week mate K.Mitchell is a players player ya I know he got 13 as a sub late in 2 nd half with your score you got enough cover to Hold Fast for 1 week maybe Oly will have faced sterner Opp next week DEAMONs were Shocking except for Viney , Grimma and Jones N & M

Mr X · 03/04/2013 at 14:31
Thanks fellas, may give it another week and see how they both do against GWS. Hopefully no vest for either to give a good indication

Pommy · 02/04/2013 at 17:40
See above… The community came through for me and should answer your question…

The benchmark · 02/04/2013 at 17:51
All the above are answering specific questions

SCaddict · 02/04/2013 at 21:11
The rucks you can't do much about as no rookies are currently playing other than Blicavs who I assume you already have.
But yes that's probably too many guys not playing on your bench. So if these guys aren't named for Rd 2 then you need to start considering alternatives like O'Meara, Heath, O'Shea, Neade, Kommer, Dwyer, Frost if they play again this weekend.
Besides my ruck rookies I have Terlich not playing but reckon he's a huge chance for Rd 2 given what the Dees 22 delivered on Sunday!

dools · 03/04/2013 at 22:40
Well surely the Dees can't get any worse my under 12 side puts up more fight for the fruit at half time, my mate Jimmy RIP would be upset, aggitated and angry with there effort or lack there of expect changes and Dean Terlich is most definatly one however do not expect a win so lossing side gets a possible 2k pnt will Terlich get a share I certainly hope so? Not a Deamon fan but listened to the call on the wireless Insiped, weak and maybe should think about getting outa the league and giong VFL for year or 3
Sorry thats how much this much vaunted egalitarian league has S#at me

tension · 03/04/2013 at 18:38
Watts to a lesser defender I would have thought is the best option given how lost he is looking presently.

dools · 03/04/2013 at 22:49
Hold mate 1 more rnd before increase $ wise Nice Mid s why are you tweeking a winning side after 1 game?

Cold Ass Honky · 04/04/2013 at 08:53
Yeah, just my nature to tinker… Ok I can deal with not having Wines for now, but if Watts throws up another stinker he's gone, or if Leuenberger comes back Longer is likely gone. Cheers fellas

SCaddict · 02/04/2013 at 21:24
He's too good winning the footy to be wasted playing a pure tagging role I reckon. But any way you look at it he's still going to generate you a pile of cash which is the main reason you should want him.
I wasn't convinced on Viney from what little we saw of him in the preseason but I have no such doubts after witnessing his efforts on Sunday.

SCaddict · 02/04/2013 at 20:22
If you're really unsure I would wait another week and see how Bennell goes as well as Mundy and Moloney.
I had no hesitation pulling the trigger this week to bring in Rocky for Lecca but I did have the spare cash already available so it was an obvious immediate move to me.

Justin · 03/04/2013 at 01:51
Hi josh, what is every supercoacher's aim… To have 22 players all capable of a score of 100 or more per week, then their inconsistencies will cancel each other out and you'll have a minimum of 2200pts and a maximum of a possible top score… With that in mind, any trades to bringing a mid priced player like Stevens, bellchambers, Suban etc. is a waste of a trade, IMHO trades should b used to generate money and upgrade to premiums. Throughout the years, it is proven that a premium plus a playing rookie will almost always out score 2 mid pricers

Justin · 03/04/2013 at 01:53
I stand corrected, a minimum of 2300 ie captain score is doubled

Josh · 03/04/2013 at 05:27
Totally agree Justin, but I meant downgrade Hibberd to Suban which gives me the cash to trade Jack Steven to Sam Mitchell…. or trade Bellchambers to Jacobs or another consistent ruck. I still think I'll sit but it is tempting now with extra faith in Suban. Maybe after round 2 if it suits.

dools · 03/04/2013 at 22:47
Josh great score…Without these players…Why now? what is worrying youi HOLD FAST save the trade till after rnd 2 mate

Josh · 03/04/2013 at 23:40
Hmmm…I'm torn… Seriously considering Hibberd to Suban and Deledio to Ablett. Could make me an extra 50+ points per round

jockreynolds · 02/04/2013 at 21:39
Great observations as always Dools old mate… Concerned with you first assessment of pod performance but well resolved in the tail end of your post. Was shocked with Higg. Shocked to be honest mate.

dools · 03/04/2013 at 22:53
Ya buddy he is off the Chrissy list until he picks the Manly stuff up.
No more Port or sherry B4 the show and what he does with mother in his house is his business but not in the Temple Of SC Fantasy…

Marc · 02/04/2013 at 22:49
Dreamteam you get 2 trades every week. SC is just the 30.

Patsy · 03/04/2013 at 00:50
You guys trade buddy and I guarantee you he'll go minimum 140 against west coast in spite!!!!!

SCaddict · 03/04/2013 at 01:11
Yeah I reckon you have to ride Buddy out for at least one more week. If he puts in another shocker and poised for a massive price drop then by all means make a trade to a more appealing option.
But he could easily unload a massive score next week and you'll be tearing your hair out if your replacement has a quiet one.

Yeah starting to think holding off for the week. All my rookies played well so don't need to jump the gun just yet. Will weigh things up next week. Cheers.

SCaddict · 03/04/2013 at 09:36
The most important thing right now is to have all the right rookies (which sounds like you have already) and have GAJ. If you do then you are in reasonable shape heading into Rd 2 and can definitely afford to take a wait and see approach to Buddy.
I'm in a similar boat having Roughy who underperformed on the weekend but I have full faith he will come right soon.

SCaddict · 03/04/2013 at 09:45
The Swans can be a b1tch to play and can really suffocate opposition players. Yes you have to see how he goes this week against the Power but if he is quiet again you may have to be concerned about the second year blues as opposition teams focus on shutting him down.
However I doubt that will be the case as the kid has oodles of talent and is one of the hardest working youngsters out there.

Jacko · 04/04/2013 at 21:10
Thanks SCaddict, I hear ya….120 this week 🙂

Patsy · 03/04/2013 at 00:38
Best option is to trade varcoe for dwyer, then Jacobs to Pearce but cant u wait another round??? No to Geary!!!

Mick · 03/04/2013 at 20:21
I don't think varcoe or karjesus should be in the gun. They both scored above their price. If you want to get off Jacobs fair enough go down to Heath but bank your cash to at least next week even longer of you can . Cash is handy later when some super premiums get cheaper.

DaGrinch · 02/04/2013 at 21:19
The pain of having the expensive Watts and Jetta deciding they are better than to perform for my team

@Popey_99 · 03/04/2013 at 13:44
I'd be keeping Jetta and Watts for at least a week… The look towards trading if they fail.

Tex · 03/04/2013 at 06:43
Cox and Goddard were only down 17 or so from their 2012 ave, Heppel was about spot on and Duffield was up on his. It's swings and roundabouts in round 1, so stay cool & don't panic!!
I would consider trading out Embley and Armstrong if you missing one or two of the gun rookies.

Jacko · 04/04/2013 at 21:12
Thanks Tex, good advice

Tex · 03/04/2013 at 06:45
+1

dan · 03/04/2013 at 00:18
whats wrong with danger? are you really gonna crucify him for one bad game selwood will destroy mitchell this weekend

Patsy · 03/04/2013 at 00:45
Worst scenario for you: replace danger with Mitchell this week, danger scores 150, Mitchell sub 100 and you've wasted 1 trade and still need danger further down the track. Trades are a limited commodity, do not sideway trade unless it's for injury!!! You should use trades in the first 2 rounds solely for the induction of rookies who will become cash cows by round 3, and if you already have them, save your trades!!!!

SCaddict · 03/04/2013 at 09:50
Young Ollie is a must have I reckon. Just don't expect 120 plus games each week. If he can average 80pts in the first 7 rounds as I'm anticipating he will earn you a pile of cash.

Big Will · 03/04/2013 at 12:11
he's fine, gonna play this week. Played well but spent some time on the bench, otherwise would've scored higher.

Liam · 03/04/2013 at 12:39
so would you trade him out for wines or keep him on bench

Big Will · 04/04/2013 at 11:52
Hmmmmm thats a tough one, i've got both. I'd probably keep him to save the trade. Hopefully will be able to match Wines' scoring this year.

Spifflicator · 04/04/2013 at 07:38
NO! Both Frost and Dwyer are likely to be dropped this week or next as senior players return, meaning they might not moo until after the bye.

Liam · 03/04/2013 at 14:24
I might be wrong here but daisy Thomas will be back soon and beams should play this week so will Dwyer hold his spot? Maybe Neade or Sam Rowe are better options up forward as rookies.

Spifflicator · 04/04/2013 at 07:36
I would hold off on Dwyer until he is named for his 3rd game. His job security is poor as the pies have a few to come back.

The Old Dylan · 04/04/2013 at 09:30
My only thought was if I want to get two cash cows in next week, I’ll need to bring one in this week. What’s pittard’s JS like? Vlastuin could always make way, it seems he isn’t going to get a run any time soon. Also, seems like crouch is on the cards for debut, according to an article on AFL.com. if that’s the case I won’t bother trading him for Kommer, I’d just swap them back in a couple of weeks.
But if Dwyer’s JS isn’t great I’ll hold, but it has to be better than kerridge’s

The Old Dylan · 04/04/2013 at 21:56
Based on this week’s teams, I will be trading vlastuin to pittard. Dwyer not named, not going to touch him. Welcome

The Old Dylan · 04/04/2013 at 22:00
And next week, Mitchell to Kommer (if he will make more money)

samm · 03/04/2013 at 16:13
i think you should give bennell another week mate, if your convinced on going for two trades i like the first option

fredd · 03/04/2013 at 16:13
option 2

jake · 05/04/2013 at 02:01
bennell was tagged out of the game by jones and a 73 isn't as bad as the 56 displayed by shuey as he was tagged by crowley. Bennell should find the pill some more and be free in the next few games

Gus · 03/04/2013 at 16:35
I’d be entering Centrebets AFL fantasy league. There is not nearly as many entrants s Supercoach or Dreamteam and it has Austalias largest prizepool of $150,000. It is definitely worth entering even after round 1 for the weekly prizes on offer. Check it out here – http://centrebetafl –

BezzMan · 03/04/2013 at 17:12
You have to have a centrebet account, so many cant get on it. Stadium is another great one, with match day and round based competitions running each week for cash prizes $150-$1000.

dools · 03/04/2013 at 23:03
Jimbo your in the JR Premuim League as am I so do it you wont, your scared….Nah mate your chasing points not players So what if he drops in $$$ he wil still get back to even par..Round one no injury concerns You Trade You Mad IMHO ,Now get it together man chin out and tell the Footy Gods to hit ya again as you are 'Stralian and them is far weaker then you thought….No Trade from your pal Dools PS I have the Frog NO Trade

jimbotraralgon · 03/04/2013 at 23:10
thanks dools. love the tough love.
Was only chasing feedback at this stage. Always like to throw out ideas for a couple of days before pulling the trigger. I think I'm on Pendles cause I wanted to fit him in but the structure wouldn't allow.
Dont think I will but still love to see which way people are going with Danger….he wouldn't want another sub 100 game 😉
cheers for the advise Dools

Spifflicator · 04/04/2013 at 06:51
I would keep Fyfe and Bennell. Wines is the only must have at this stage, JPK has started this way before and gone on to be very average for the rest of the season. JK is an an upgrade target if you can free the cash to do it, but at this stage Mitchell to Wines is the obvious one.

SCaddict · 04/04/2013 at 02:13
Yeah he started with the kermit costume unfortunately and didn't play til the second half. Vestitis has given fantasy coaches many a sleepless night. 🙁
Check to see whether he is named on the field or the bench this round and perhaps consider moving him on if he is bench bound again. That's too much money invested for iffy game time / JS.

blair · 05/04/2013 at 00:38
nah sorry mate, i meant dayne beams.. team only scored 2027
so just wonderin how long hes out because i need the points.
if hes not playing for a few weeks thinkin i need him out??

SCaddict · 05/04/2013 at 01:31
He suffered a quad strain during training that will see him sidelined for at least a few weeks so you may have to consider trading him out unfortunately.

SCaddict · 04/04/2013 at 02:24
In my view Macaffer then Neade then Dwyer.
Lee, Rowe or Daniher should also be considered if named for Rd 2 or 3.

Matt w-p · 04/04/2013 at 19:14
I have franklin, roughead and rockliff as my premiums up forward who could I get for lecras? I have enough money for anyone?

SCaddict · 04/04/2013 at 20:24
If you are thinking of upgrading Lecca to a premium I would probably hold off a week to see who performs and who doesn't. You already have Rocky who in my view is the only must have premium forward at this stage of the game.
JJK, Monfries and Siposs are probably the leading candidates for a sideways trade.

Matt w-p · 04/04/2013 at 23:32
So just put in neade who’s on my bench for this round?

SCaddict · 05/04/2013 at 00:35
Yes that would be the way to go I say.

Spifflicator · 04/04/2013 at 07:05
Edit Newmans BE is 100. Still not panic stations, as its only a drop of $8k.

jimbotraralgon · 04/04/2013 at 17:05
he won't be back till may. And then there is the match fitness. Word of caution. If you bench coverage then maybe otherwise jettison.

SCaddict · 04/04/2013 at 20:27
No I think he needs to go either this week or next. His inclusion back in the team could drag on longer than you may anticipate whilst other value mid pricers or rookies are earning other coaches cash.

jimbotraralgon · 04/04/2013 at 16:54
hey mate. I would.
As a bench option he wold be great.
Not at d2 or 3.
If you have him on the bench and things turn for him gives you a trading chip.
And it prevents anyone else getting him.

THOMAS · 04/04/2013 at 17:11
thanks for the advice, yeah he'll be on the bench when sean dempster comes back (which will hopefully be tomorrow).

SCaddict · 04/04/2013 at 20:29
Well done Bennyboi and Jordzter123! Much better than most of us achieved.

Jordzter123 · 05/04/2013 at 11:12
Thanks SCaddict how did you go mate????

SCaddict · 05/04/2013 at 12:39
Had a disappointing start barely scraping above 2100. However after a few necessary 'adjustments' this week I'm feeling fairly positive about the team heading into Rd 2.

Brad · 04/04/2013 at 16:00
If your going to trade, I’d go with wright…

jimbotraralgon · 04/04/2013 at 16:46
gus looks good. Will get plenty of chances on the ball.

dannyboy · 04/04/2013 at 20:49
thats my predicament, gonna wait til next week and get the better performed of the pair. does gus have a tender hammy at the moment? jjk being 55k cheaper is another point that is swaying me towards him

Jimbotraralgon · 04/04/2013 at 16:32
keep

SCaddict · 04/04/2013 at 19:55
Yes he's been named this weekend so absolutely hang on to him. I'm actually making plans to perhaps pick him up before Rd 4 if his body holds up and he delivers premium output.

jimbotraralgon · 04/04/2013 at 17:54
one of the commandments is no sideways trade. Give him another week maybe.

jimbotraralgon · 04/04/2013 at 17:53
maybe gus?

John · 04/04/2013 at 18:26
Got Gus already … and McCaffer and Neede

Josh · 04/04/2013 at 21:39
Trading Rockliff out for Kozi? I was hoping I was the only one!

SCaddict · 04/04/2013 at 21:56
No I reckon it has to be getting rid of GAJ and bringing in LeCras to make a pile of cash ha ha.

SCaddict · 04/04/2013 at 22:00
It's my firm belief that this is unlikely to happen. It makes no sense to start him on the wing each game only to bring him off after half time each time. You may as will pick a fit guy to start if that's going to be the case or have Hill start with the green vest then. So I reckon that was a one off.
But I guess we'll see what happens this weekend on the wide open of Subi.

Jordzter123 · 05/04/2013 at 09:52
Rowe is set to play and so is lueneberger. that is a very good move. It will also leave you with 70,000 in the bank

The Old Dylan · 05/04/2013 at 14:03
it's a good one, even better if you now have a ruck/fwd swing and a playing ruck bench

The Old Dylan · 05/04/2013 at 14:05
What's the rest of your fwd like? Varcoe and Neade are named, similar scores last week, geelong have North and Port have GWS. So you need to decide whether varcoe will step up against decent opposition, or whether port will beat up on GWS.
Personally, I'm naming both on my field with Rowe as the emergency

The Old Dylan · 05/04/2013 at 14:07
Hold till next week if you can, to see how both players go this week. It's a case of vest v injury, if mitchell gets the vest this week, probably trade him out, but keep an eye on Stevens' hammys…

SCaddict · 05/04/2013 at 19:42
Where is my crystal ball? Perhaps the Jaegerbomb just because he's the only one named on the bench and perhaps a slight chance for the green vest.
Also he's playing against one of the best defensive midfields in the Swans that may restrict his scoring. Of course it may not work out that way so don't sue me if he drops a 120. 🙂

Johnny · 06/04/2013 at 00:40
Thanks heaps i was leaning towards Jaeger also for the same reasons I'm going to have to roll with it and hope all goes well.

SCaddict · 05/04/2013 at 19:47
Yes that would work but it may be worth waiting a week to see whether Paddy can have his wicked way with the Dees and register a huge score. After all you picked him for a reason right?!
Also you can guard against Leuey breaking down in his first game back at footy at the highest level after 12 months out of the game.
You'd be kicking yourself if his Achilles flares up again tomorrow especially if Ryder has a decent game.

Rusty · 06/04/2013 at 01:45
Couldn't agree more. Jock has had more injections then the Essendon football club.
On the other hand The Crouching one is a bloody beauty and at 345,000 is a real lock.
