One I like most is probably Option B, waiting a week to get Parker in. Stevie J will be good value in a couple of weeks, but at the moment he's still too expensive. Higgins still has a bit of money to make I think, so keeping him for an extra week to wait for Parker should be the best option.

Burnman · 19/05/2014 at 14:24
Zorko is not a premium – he is getting traded this week bloody burnman. Stevie J will drop in price

henry · 19/05/2014 at 16:53
had gastro.

Neilsy · 19/05/2014 at 17:19
Zorko the c?nt

Kris · 20/05/2014 at 12:28
Steve J got hit with a 1 week suspension.

jockreynolds · 18/05/2014 at 22:11
How about Suckling Pig up to Bartel, Simpson or Walker son?

Ben · 18/05/2014 at 23:10
One more week for the suckling pig jock, then I think bring in mcveigh. Suckling BE is only 67. That way you have another body on the field this week, save a trade and get in a proven supercoach veteran for next week

Dinkum Davo · 19/05/2014 at 08:52
But Simpsons be is 61…
Who is better Simpson or walker?

Jontyone · 19/05/2014 at 14:19
I have Bartel in guts. worth going Suckling into a premium midfielder like Dal Santo

Pots · 18/05/2014 at 22:13
Ambrose still has plenty of cash to make with a negative BE.

Pots · 18/05/2014 at 22:58
Sorry, low BE. Looking at older stats.

Daniel · 19/05/2014 at 00:00
His BE is 20

lostlarrikin · 19/05/2014 at 08:37
3 trades, the two you mentioned plus Jocks suggestion

Michael · 18/05/2014 at 23:02
Leaning towards 3 at the moment – Matera might just be a nice POD….maybe not now though…

Kev · 18/05/2014 at 23:17
Matera could be a huge POD, only in 1.68% of teams. Looking at his stats though he doesn't get a huge amount of the pill, a true small forward. His scores are very reliant on goals kicked (a la, jamie elliott…)
All that said, I think you're still in with a shot for 50k. Need to make a few left of field choices and this has a better than even chance of coming off

wes · 19/05/2014 at 21:28
I like option 2… not sure how consistent Wingard has been as not on my radar.
My first thought was option 1 actually, as am keen to get boomer onboard myself. But if Wingard has gone ok consistency wise… the 100K difference between he and boomer is tempting to keep
I cannot see Matera being consistent enough… though tempting after the weekend's efforts.

MightyDonsFC · 18/05/2014 at 22:38
Boomer isn't consistent!

WombatsFC · 19/05/2014 at 17:11
Consistently up and down

SCaddict · 18/05/2014 at 22:25
So many more stats go into SC scores than DT…goal assists, I50s, clearances, clangers, contested marks, marks I50, intercept marks, handball receives the list goes on and on.
Still I agree some scores do leave you scratching your head at times. I guess at the end of the day we just have to trust the Champion Data boys just like we trust our GP or better half. Ok maybe that isn't such a great idea! 🙂

LukTon · 19/05/2014 at 20:14
On top of SC's vast range of disposal/possession/scoring types, it also weights them on how influential they were on the result of the game.
For example, let's use the Gold Coast game from the weekend. Why did Gary Ablett score so high and Newnes score much lower? This can be discovered when taking into account the first quarter of the game.
Gold Coast burst out to an early lead, and St Kilda never threatened to catch up. SC would determine that the game was won and lost in the first quarter, probably after Gold Coast were ahead by 4 or 5 goals. All player scores in this part of the game would have been scaled up dramatically, and vase versa for the rest of the game. Who was on fire in that all important first quarter: Newnes or Ablett?
DT does not take this in to account; all stats in the dying stages of a game count for the same, even if the match is on the line, or was well and truly over like in the Gold Coast – St Kilda game.
Hope this helps as well!

Lord Relton Roberts · 18/05/2014 at 22:51
there are a hell of a lot of other statistics involved in supercoach scoring (e.g. whether marks are from opposition kicks or team mates, whether the ball was in contention, handball recieves… etc)

Matt · 18/05/2014 at 23:39
Ablett had 37 touches and 4 goals vs Newnes' 29 disposals and 1 goal. Think you should be questioning the DreamTeam scoring system considering Newnes beat GAJ somehow.

Sleepy · 19/05/2014 at 09:15
Thanks to all for your input. I guess I was a bit peeved with it all at the time. Was cruising ahead by about 300 after 3rd game and score projector had me winning comfortably by completion of the round. Then it all turned to shite. Had C on Rockliff then he goes down with a virus. No need to panic I will bring in Johnson which I planned to do at some stage anyway and wack C on him coz Selwood will get the Crowley tag. Man that hurt. Also brought in Bartel. Then Zorko gets a lousy 14 and still with a glimmer of hope Acres gets the vest. Then Ablett gets 360 plus and I ended up getting my arse kicked. NOT HAPPY JAN LOL. Time to get on with it now. Had a good sleep. Cheers

Kerrigan · 20/05/2014 at 14:43
Newnes took 11 marks ablett took 0

throttlefinger · 18/05/2014 at 22:39
Barlow seems a bit injury prone. Two years running. Deadly kicker but think Fyfe is the baller on Freo. Stevens getting it done on a subpar team. Plus Montagna always going to get the harder tag.

Kev · 18/05/2014 at 23:20
Neither. Both have the bye this week. Steven just starting to get back into it after his injury lay off. Personally I'd look beyond these two

The Ranger · 18/05/2014 at 22:53
Why only those two?
There's quite a few other options at that price.

lostlarrikin · 18/05/2014 at 23:50
Avoiding freo prems where possible, been burnt by Lyin resting policy before

Kris · 20/05/2014 at 17:35
Steven

MightyDonsFC · 18/05/2014 at 22:36
Why zorko out? He had gastro give him a break

Matt · 18/05/2014 at 23:17
Exactly, i'm going to be holding onto Zorko. He should come back strong after the bye

oliverfisher · 19/05/2014 at 00:47
didn't realise he had gastro, thanks for the info. Will probably keep him now

headING-UP · 22/05/2014 at 21:11
Lock that in Oliver

Michael · 18/05/2014 at 23:00
I'd wait a week with Shenton, see if named after bye round. Also Saints have tough run over next 3 weeks with Collingwood, Geelong, Port, then West Coast after that – very tough on rookies, that run of games!

Michael · 18/05/2014 at 23:00
Parker for sure, I'll be looking to get him in post bye.

Pots · 18/05/2014 at 23:02
Playing bottom team and bye is not an issue

SCaddict · 19/05/2014 at 14:32
Then I'd go 'Peter' Parker for sure.

@TheNoLanguage · 18/05/2014 at 23:24
Parker

Michael · 18/05/2014 at 23:07
yep looking at him too, but after bye.

joshpapworth · 19/05/2014 at 17:34
saw him today he is getting scans tomorrow thinks he may be out with ligement damage for 4 weeks

Crackin · 18/05/2014 at 23:21
Like swallow looks like a must have in the back line jaensch’s price is arousing

Kev · 18/05/2014 at 23:22
swallow

WombatsFC · 19/05/2014 at 17:18
Both. I reckon Jeansch is a keeper for D6 and Swallow at 4 or 5

joshpapworth · 19/05/2014 at 17:36
depends if money no problem get swallow he will avg better
but jaensch still 95-100 avg for rest of the year

Jackson · 19/05/2014 at 22:55
I'd go with swallow, but jaensch is a definitely good option if you wanna save a bit of coin

Matt · 18/05/2014 at 23:41
I reckon SuperCoach Paige would lose half their fans if they stopped giving Qtr time scores. That's just about all they're good for.

Scott · 19/05/2014 at 00:47
Whether it’s Supercoach Paige, Supercoach Coach, Phantom Operatic, Traders, tBettas Bulletin, etc, etc, they are all part of the community.
We all have our favourites or maybe we all treat each equally.
Jock’s show is the most entertaining, but the info delivered can be just as pertinent elsewhere.
Even heard Jock refer to AFL Fantasy in his post Rd 8.
I’m only in SC, prefer Champion Data’s scoring, makes it more interesting.

Scott · 19/05/2014 at 02:09
Re Franklin, completed forward line, doh!

The Mullet · 19/05/2014 at 00:33
IMO Goldy is pretty good value at the moment, but I'd hold off ruck trades if possible. You can bet that the week after you trade out Lobbe, Sandilands will get injured or be rested in preparation for the finals.

Scott · 19/05/2014 at 01:01
I wouldn’t be suprised if the only game Sandi misses this year is Rd 23.
Depends on your trades left but if you feel that if Lobbe needs to go and you have a discounted premium you think will return to premium scoring, I’d say go for it!

Holty · 19/05/2014 at 14:26
It seems you are struggling to get 18 on the park so I would wait 1 more week with Lobbe as he shuld be playing this week. If I was you, I wouldn't get rid of anyone playing this week.

@TheNoLanguage · 19/05/2014 at 14:53
Thanks Holty. Might hold off on Lobbe but if he doesn't get up with the calf Goldy comes in!

dean · 18/05/2014 at 23:23
I doubted him from the start after he tonned up 3 times. but he kept on doing it. so i dont know but he came back on weekend and scored 98 see him as a pretty solid pick tbh

Scott · 19/05/2014 at 01:25
Should never have listened to the 3 to 4 weeks injury prognosis, traded him to Burgoyne. Now want to go back, thinking Langdon to Jaensch. Live and learn, trade wasted.
He’s a back line clearance player and for a 110k ave at sub $400k, he’s a bargain, doh!

WombatsFC · 19/05/2014 at 17:23
I feel your pain Scott I made the same Jaensch to Burgoyne trade based on the 3-weeks out with broken ribs story. I'm gonna get him back this week for Langford or George. Jaensch the perfect D6 although he did struggle the week before his injury

joshpapworth · 19/05/2014 at 17:39
i shld never got rid of landon

SCaddict · 18/05/2014 at 23:50
Not personally a believer myself. If you got on him early on all well and good but wouldn't be falling over myself to get him in now.
Would be looking at the likes or Bartel, Walker, Hibberd, Swallow etc instead.

Kris · 19/05/2014 at 09:48
The difference is +100k though. And not a big gap in scoring potential.

Dean · 19/05/2014 at 17:40
Yea i Myself have yet to rid of Old McDonald, Im thinking it would be a nice upgrade to do Mcdonald to Jaench for a cheap + good scoring output upgrade.

Matt · 18/05/2014 at 23:21
Get Swallow

Cozza · 18/05/2014 at 23:57
I would be concerned about his JS. Chris Scott likes to give his rookies a brief taste of AFL footy then bring in another rookie for a taste. Unless they are a standout in every game they play, unlikely Scotty will play him enough to generate enough cash.
I will be waiting until he is named for his 3rd game before bringing him in.

Rocksta · 19/05/2014 at 00:04
Agreed.
If you go through the list of juniors Scotty has played this year, most rarely get more than 2-3 games in a row.
I think bringing him in this week is very risky.

Scott · 19/05/2014 at 01:40
This is really a tough call, depends on whether he’s your D9 or a spec D10, who may be back later this year and provide some scores and/or cash. Take the risk and carry him? What other option would you consider as a def downgrade option this week?
Esp for those like me pursuing an upgrade/downgrade combo each week to make their premo squad.!

SCaddict · 18/05/2014 at 23:48
Too late in the game to be considering mid-pricers in my view.
Should only be downgrading to rookies or upgrading to premos at this advanced stage of proceedings, unless you still have 20 plus trades and feel up for a midseason speculative dabble.

joshpapworth · 19/05/2014 at 17:42
agreed

wes · 19/05/2014 at 21:31
If there are no rookies on the watch-list, then maybe. But surely there are cheaper options out there to make a buck on and give same points output

SCaddict · 18/05/2014 at 23:46
I wouldn't burn off Hanley for a risky midpricer. Is there anyone else you could cull to get Jelwood in? JKH perhaps?

Scott · 19/05/2014 at 01:47
Totally agree, it’s round 9 of 23, Hanley’s had his injury problems and his team has been struggling.
Let’s not forget Hanley is a proven scorer, give the chance he will score well.
If you have him, hang tough, ask yourself why so many SCers have him on their watch list.

SCaddict · 19/05/2014 at 02:25
Indeed he's on my watch list too. I'm still waiting for the Kolo Kidd to fully ripen and then I may be able to do a straight swap with Hanley in a few more weeks.
Voila a $197K rookie turns straight into a proven premo defender!

WombatsFC · 19/05/2014 at 17:33
Hanley started to struggle last year when he got a tag, the second 2-thirds of the season his average was under 87 after being at 113 after the first 8-games. This year he is getting a shutdown player on him almost every week and his scores have suffered.
The only reason for keeping him now would be if you don't have any trades left.

Kev · 19/05/2014 at 11:29
Played a few games in the NEAFL and is getting through okay, he was close this week but held back once again.
I'd take this as a solid sign he will be carefully managed throughout the year and won't be stringing a lot of games together. Will likely play a key position and for 200k, I'd be waiting until his third game unless you're absolutely desperate for cash

Deadly · 19/05/2014 at 17:08
Did not play in the two's this week due to leg problems so unfortunately we may have to give him wide berth this year?

Anthony · 18/05/2014 at 23:59
as i got $314,400 in the bank

The Regular · 19/05/2014 at 00:43
dunstan to selwood

yes I do hav bacon · 20/05/2014 at 10:30
Agree
Then add crouch to shenton
and Grundy to minson
Next week ambrose to Cameron
Merret to tex

Anthony · 20/05/2014 at 14:36
What about hurtung?

yes I do hav bacon · 20/05/2014 at 19:15
Hartung might be good if you need players on the field this week but I like shentons DP edgell ability, maybe Lloyd to shents in a couple of weeks?

Tom · 20/05/2014 at 15:46
how many trades do you have all up?

Scott · 19/05/2014 at 02:08
14 trades may be low if you still have 5 or more premiums to complete your team, considering injuries, etc.
Think Franklin will benefit from Swans completed backline, hold.
Dixon is getting ruck time, but his injury prone and seems the coach wants him as a key fwd, hold for now.
Rioli & hamstrings are long term relationships, best fwd to trade.
Pole has the best JS & scoring ability, so would suggest a DG & UG on the other too.

Scott · 19/05/2014 at 02:12
Re Franklin, completed forward line, doh!

Emmanuel · 19/05/2014 at 09:23
I am 9 premiums from completing my team. But that is being harsh. I have a few players that I don’t consider premium but could be borderline.
I have already removed Dixon and Franklin when they got injured.
Need to get Selwood in somehow.
I have a feeling I won’t be finishing with 18 premiums on the park come season end…

Scott · 19/05/2014 at 09:57
Percentage of teams who actually do complete will be interesting.
I’ve got 9 trades left and am 2 short, could burn another 3 trades and I’m there but need to preserve trades. Maybe see how far I can go with Langdon.

Emmanuel · 19/05/2014 at 10:59
You’ve done well if you’re only 2 short. You had luck with injuries? I tend to trade out injured players than hold onto them which burns trades. Such as Dixon, Fasolo, Franklin and Mitchell. I could have had three more trades. Cyril will cost me another one.
I also got rid of Tyson, JKH too early and made the mistake of including Michie and McDonough earlier.

SCaddict · 19/05/2014 at 02:20
Yeah there's a reason his name rhymes with burn! 🙂
Do yourself a favour and don't get sucked in. Far too injury prone in recent times. Also only averaged over 90 once in the past five years to be that SC relevant in terms of premo defenders imho.

Jackson · 19/05/2014 at 23:03
There's a LOT more reliable defenders out there. Walker, bartel, mcveigh and the likes if you can afford them. The risk of a body part falling off during a game and giving you another 7 is significantly less with them!

Flacid Jaff · 20/05/2014 at 12:25
I like him.
He's cheap and will roam around more this season because of WC's recruiting of other rebounding defenders. Has a killer boot so they will look to get the ball in his hands so he can drill it inside 50 to the forwards, which is big SC points! ONLY get him if you think he'll be a top 10 defender! I think he will. Hurn will finish up a D6 or D7 for me, depending on how I finish up trade/money wise!

The Regular · 19/05/2014 at 06:41
I’m in same boat. Someone just needs to tell me Jed Bews Is nailed on! He isn’t though is he? 🙁

Gold Coast Blues · 19/05/2014 at 11:06
I made a guts move and brought him in this week without even playing a game. Paid off, just hope he at least gets to 3 games. He looked OK – I think he will play.

Kev · 19/05/2014 at 11:34
Discussion above re: bews. JS is shaky as geelong youngsters get a taste of senior footy for a few games then go back out and another gets his shot.
Wait until he is on the bubble

Garglesnarf FC · 19/05/2014 at 16:02
Cats have the Kolodashnij twin and Schroder to also come in as they are both killing it in the VFL. Christensen is also due back round 11. Do not expect Bews to play more than another 2 games, and you wont be disappointed. If does you can be pleasantly surprised.

Kris · 19/05/2014 at 17:12
cheers for the info lad! was keeping a keen eye on bews

Captain joc · 19/05/2014 at 04:21
100*

se4no · 19/05/2014 at 09:37
not yet… give him another week to prove he's fit for it!

Kev · 19/05/2014 at 11:35
Agree. Arousing stats though. His price won't be moving for another week

Garglesnarf FC · 19/05/2014 at 14:08
Assuming you need 2 trades to get full premo (1up, 1down) then you are in a great position as you dont need to do anything except the odd downgrade to build warchest or injury trade.
I am very envious, I have 14 left and only 19 premo.

BCHawks · 19/05/2014 at 09:44
if you have the money go Gray instead of Wingard, other than that your trades are fine.

The Mullet · 19/05/2014 at 11:55
I agree with BC on Wingard. I like him, but I want to see a solid upturn in form before I bring him in.

Pat · 19/05/2014 at 14:04
Thanks for all the input guys !!
ive decided to go the same trades but JKH> Gray

The Mullet · 19/05/2014 at 12:03
Its an easy trap to fall into, especially when they look like they have topped out , and then kick on again. I've got a feeling in my gut that Polec could do the same thing and make another 50k. But when you see a premo at their lowest price for the year, somebody worth lotsa $ has to get led to the slaughterhouse. Sorry Polec, I think you have more upside, but as they said in The Godfather….. "its not personal, its just business"

Kris · 19/05/2014 at 17:11
Im there with you with Tyson. Nerves got the better of me

The Filth · 19/05/2014 at 11:16
Take it from me.
It’s okay being ‘absolutely filthy’….or even plain Filthy.

SCaddict · 19/05/2014 at 14:41
Yeah even Wayno has got caught out on that ole 'can't reverse trades' chestnut.
At least Dixon can give you some ruck cover if you have a DPP rookie on your ruck bench. Now that you have him I think you have to stick fat and hope he comes good.
Boomer is very up and down and can suck folk in when he hits one of his purple patches, only to disappear a few weeks later. Scores can be as volatile as a KPP.
Kangas were also beating up on the dismal Lions operating with a skeleton crew on the weekend that allowed him to get off the chain.

Kev · 19/05/2014 at 11:42
Few too many starting rooks at this stage of the game. Plenty of money in the bank so I'd be looking at going bang bang.
Dunstan up to Sloane is handy, then maybe a JKH to premium (Parker, Gray, Dahl etc)
Cameron will be on the bubble next week, as will Shenton from the saints. Few downgrade options to get your cash up again

Cyril · 19/05/2014 at 13:22
Thanks. Kev. That was my plan. Problem is, if I go dunstan to sloane that leaves me under 500 k to spend on a forward upgrade. Can’t afford a gray, Harvey, Parker etc. closest to anything decent is bruest
I can go dunstan to omeara and then Jhk to gray? Then I can’t upgrade suckling next week though. He should still make money next week anyways

WombatsFC · 19/05/2014 at 17:53
Wingard is about 40k cheaper than Bruest and Port might increase the amount of time he spends in the middle over the back half of the season. IMO that's more upside than Bruest. Jaensch is also as cheap as he will get and was pumping out regoular 110+ in defense before getting injured. Cutler to Jaensch is a good use of your cash.

john snow · 19/05/2014 at 21:11
thanks for that wombat, Im thinking of just going Dunstan to Sloane and then JHK to Wingard and saving a trade. Then next week I can get a premium backline player like Mcveigh

pieofgod · 19/05/2014 at 11:05
Cameron Shenton…avg 73…99 v GCS yesterday. Bye this round so maybe hold till next week unless you have enough NON blue dots on the field then jump on

WombatsFC · 19/05/2014 at 17:55
Hartung should be named and probably play a full game in the middle, half of hawks squad is in hospital. 117k they don't come much cheaper

Kris · 19/05/2014 at 10:50
Was also planning on using all three trades and trading laidler to jaensch

pieofgod · 19/05/2014 at 11:06
Downgrade Laidler –> Maybe Nth Def J Tippett…should free up cash for Sauce+Jelwood

Kris · 19/05/2014 at 13:05
Cheers pie! I’m on the same page as you regarding removing laidler.

Kris · 19/05/2014 at 13:18
Latest thought,
West>Sauce
Kelly>jelwood
Dunstan>jaensch via McDonald)
Team now looks like
Def—> Hanley, hooker, jaensch, Simpson, swallow, McVeigh, (laidler langdon)
Mid—> gablett libba pendles beams macrae polec jelwood McDonald (m crouch Taylor)
Ruc—> Sandi Jacobs (Currie thurlow)
Fwd—> danger dahlhaus dusty zorko fasolo SLloyd (ambrose JKH)
30k I’m bank…. And plans to upgrade jkh next week to someone like nroo or lecras

Captain joc · 19/05/2014 at 14:28
Goldy and mcevoy I would have a look at I brough goldy in last week as he has some very easy games for the rest of the season

Kris · 19/05/2014 at 17:02
Cheers Boss!
But are you not concerned with goldy going up against minson and sauce in the first two rounds of finals (rd 21+22)?

Kev · 19/05/2014 at 11:45
Saving a one week donut for a bloke averaging 117? You're mad! Keep on riding him until his turf toe comes back

Cyril · 19/05/2014 at 11:46
I think he will definitely get a rest. That’s why I will b keeping Derickx on the pine to take up the slack. Scoring ok and increasing in value slowly

medadsson · 19/05/2014 at 15:08
Agree with Cyril. If you have enough to cover 18 for bye I wouldn't trade Sandi out until he is not named, even then I would be reluctant to do so given Freo's run home. Sandi is blitzing and does not look like slowing down. Yes they may tactically rest him but I bet that will be much deeper into season depending upon final 4 chances etc as he has bye for a rest this week. Also don't forget he will get a two week break in the round that is spread over two weeks in late July.

Kris · 19/05/2014 at 13:01
Him playing mid gives a higher ceiling. But we Dont have a lot to go by. The three full games he’s played have been vs gws melb and wbd.
That said he’s already had his yearly injury and would be a solid pod in your fwd line.
I know next week I will be seriously considering him or Nroo to be upgraded from JKH.

Kris · 19/05/2014 at 16:59
has bye this week. Only consider him next round. But he does look alright for a cheapie this far into the season. And should have decent JS

WombatsFC · 19/05/2014 at 18:01
Take 'em to Cash Converters you might be able to swap them for a Gameboy

LMD · 19/05/2014 at 14:26
Good POD. I traded him in last week.

Jimmy · 19/05/2014 at 15:28
North looking like the team to get in! still have to play melbourne twice brisbane again and three bottom sides in finals!

LMD · 19/05/2014 at 15:44
Another reason to bring in NDS.

Kris · 19/05/2014 at 16:56
Cheers LMD – definitely some food for thought
Sydney, North and Adelaide players all look like good options all of a sudden

shallots · 20/05/2014 at 02:39
Not bad- but arent finals played over 4 weeks not 3?

shallots · 20/05/2014 at 02:42
Just a note- You have put BRIS v GEEL rnd 23 but GEEL v ADL rnd 23 and ADL v STK rnd 23

Nifty · 19/05/2014 at 15:14
You got rid of him or he's on your Bench?

Eagler · 19/05/2014 at 15:23
I’ve culled him but thinking about reversing the trade.

Cyril · 19/05/2014 at 17:27
I’d b giving him one last chance after a game like that if I were u

Mike · 19/05/2014 at 20:12
Got rid of him myself last round. I was thinking he was a big vest risk coming back in and high BE. Not sure wtf Jack was the sub last week?? Cunningham hasn’t been doing much, must be doing forward tags cause he hasn’t found the footy, but doesn’t get dropped. Mitchell will get plenty of games you’d think, but that’s a lot of cash on the bench if he’s not picked week by week. Mind you if anyone goes out injured I’ll think about jumping back on.

shallots · 20/05/2014 at 02:46
as crouching would say PI' HI' O' or pi55 him off as we would say 🙂
He is too slow, too selfish and just has the wrong attitude for the Sydney style. You just have to watch him and see why he got vested AND then rested the next week. I called it back at the time and traded him out. He needs another club coz if Sydney havent been able to straighten his attitude he'll be stuck in the 2nds for a long time.

Marcus J · 19/05/2014 at 16:07
I dont think you NEED to have pendles.
with your current crop of midfielders looking for a POD would be a wise move

toonking · 19/05/2014 at 16:21
AAAh AAAh Agreed in the words of Higgo…..with rookies starting at a higher price this year it is harder to upgrade to an ultra premium like Peddles…might be better…spreading the cash out to upgrade elsewhere

deadly · 19/05/2014 at 17:16
With 14 rounds still to go, get him in if can afford

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 19:46
What confusion Pendles is a must have next to Ablett and Danger. You have to get to finals first.
I am putting in Selwood and Pendles this week, Both are must haves in midfield but you should have a mid forward swing or and back there. (Opposition not a worry for these blokes.
Cheers.

shallots · 20/05/2014 at 02:50
Agreed that Pendles is not necessary. Try and get JPK- wow. he is going to smash this season apart from here in- get him in and enjoy or sit back and watch his massive scores pass you bye. If you had Pendles from the start fair enough but there are others out there playing as good. NDS and Goddard great also

Pat · 19/05/2014 at 16:56
what is crouch's BE?

Vic City · 20/05/2014 at 01:23
Couch's BE is 79, doubt he will reach it.

Gold Rush · 20/05/2014 at 03:06
Gives me an inverted arousal curve – AKA, the flop curve.

RooBoy · 19/05/2014 at 16:48
Or does Shenton top them both?
Love to hear people's thoughts – Thanks in advance

RooBoy · 19/05/2014 at 17:10
Thanks to you both for your thoughts.

shallots · 20/05/2014 at 02:53
Hasnt crows lynch got a broken jaw? and with LLoyd in the team not sure how lennons JS is. Im going Charlie and Shenton.

SCaddict · 19/05/2014 at 20:43
I would cull JKH and upgrade Dunstan to a premo this week such as Jelwood, Pendles or Libba.
You could also look at upgrading Suckers to either Swallow, Bartel, Simpson, Burgoyne, 1AW or another premo defender that takes your fancy.
Alternatively you could also consider culling Crouch instead and upgrading JKH to a premo. So you have quite a few different options at your disposal.
Don't worry about blowing 3 trades this week as bringing in two proven premos will significantly bolster your side and the byes are the ideal time to power up and avoid potential donuts.

shallots · 20/05/2014 at 02:56
Damn thats a pretty nice team!!!! I would trade out Dunstan and Polec for Jelwood and JPK and then JKH down to Charlie.
POW- thats what id do and id be most happy! Awesome team anyway!!!!

Gab · 20/05/2014 at 16:16
cheers shallots, means a lot!!!

@TheNoLanguage · 19/05/2014 at 17:23
Hey Danners,
What are your thoughts on these trades:
R.Shaw > Bartel
JKH > Cameron
Lobbe > Goldstein
Leaves me with 75k and 15 trades, just not sold on Lobbe pumping out good scores and Goldy is cheap for a proven 110+ player? Also only reason I'm keeping Suckling ahead of Shaw is due to bye carnage. Thanks for your help mate 🙂

Danners16 · 19/05/2014 at 17:33
I think you maybe burning a trade going R.Shaw to Bartel, JKH to Cameron sounds good, if you are low on cash, M.Lobbe to Goldstein sounds good, also it seems S.Mumford probably is coming back this week

@TheNoLanguage · 19/05/2014 at 19:21
Yeah the only reason I am thinking of doing it is his BE is 109 and at 420k has made me 120 and reached his limit IMO. Plus it gives me 18 on field. But I will suss out other options, plenty of pre-lockout time.

Kev · 19/05/2014 at 22:45
I'd possibly reverse that trade. Out of your 5 mid rooks, Polec is the highest scoring and will continue to make money. Looking at upgrading Crouch (that 10 in his system will slow his money making ability down) or Taylor (has hit a bit of form, but lions will be getting smashed more often that not)
If you don't mind waiting a week, I'd rather Parker over Gray. I'm the same, gut feel just says stay away

[email protected] · 20/05/2014 at 15:57
Thanks!!

Gab · 19/05/2014 at 17:37
thoughts on these trades danners?
JKH > Gray
Crouch > Selwood
Dunstan> Hartung

Danners16 · 19/05/2014 at 17:44
Sounds good

MightyDonsFC · 19/05/2014 at 17:52
Thoughts on Titchell in two weeks?

Danners16 · 19/05/2014 at 17:59
I think somehow, I will have to get him in. 270 Supercoach points, seems like he has his form back, in 2 weeks though, that would be the perfect time

Brandon2416 · 19/05/2014 at 18:01
who is priortiy to get out crouch or flipper??

Danners16 · 19/05/2014 at 18:05
M.Crouch, I believe that Flipper is a better chance to play since the coach said he will probably play a few younger players throughout this season.

Brandon2416 · 19/05/2014 at 18:07
who has a higher b/e??

Danners16 · 19/05/2014 at 18:08
Ok guys that is all the time I have, I will be online to answer your questions again at around 7:30pm EST

jockreynolds · 19/05/2014 at 19:34
Good man Danners!

SCaddict · 19/05/2014 at 21:25
He's currently in that awkward zone where those who have him are wondering whether to dump him and those that don't are wondering whether to pick him up.
For me I think there are better options out there so like Jock I won't be touching him.

Kris · 20/05/2014 at 00:00
Hearing Jock say no to picking up nroo as a saints man has put some serious doubt for me in grabbing him from the bargain bin

MightyDonsFC · 19/05/2014 at 17:51
93
145
79
158

Gab · 19/05/2014 at 17:56
Cheers MD,
am thinking of going polec > Pendles next week – hopefully will be around 175k
What trades you thinking MD??

RIpper_Roo · 20/05/2014 at 18:39
Hi Gab, going forward you will be able to find player b/e at http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/supercoach_rou…
Hope it helps 🙂

SCaddict · 19/05/2014 at 18:54
It will be hard for Horse to keep him out the side but squeezing him back in will be tricky considering Pykey and McGlynn will be looking to regain their spots as well.
Swans don't have many passengers right now with players like Cunningham, Lloyd and Derickx all doing their role.

jockreynolds · 19/05/2014 at 19:34
269 Supercoach points as well!

joshpapworth · 19/05/2014 at 19:48
true that jock
not on subject but
i was talking to blake acres today and he is getting scans tomorrow he reckons it is ligament damage to his foot and he has estimated he will be out for 4 weeks

shallots · 20/05/2014 at 03:06
The bloke has a poor attitude and a pretty selfish kinda player. Just dont think he has the right attitude to get a gig in the swans team anymore. And he is slow. And with the Swans going brilliantly without him it kind of makes the decision easier to leave him out.
And 64 touches means nothing- in fact in reality how on Earth did he even get 64 touches? Doesnt sound right. Maybe he was playing greedy 1-2 footy and how many of them were contested, his DE etc etc. I get that he had alot of SC points but thats because the SC scoring spreads the points amongst all players and he is def a step ahead of the second grade. Just not sure what game style he played to get that amount of pill.
I got rid of him after he was vested- and when I think of Titchell I think of Zorko always. Dont know why but they are poison!!

Michael · 19/05/2014 at 18:50
please anyone!!

MightyDonsFC · 19/05/2014 at 19:07
I also have those player + Zorko and will do a straight swap from Lloyd to Parker next week.

Cam_H · 19/05/2014 at 19:26
Season averages to date ….
Next in line: Brent Harvey
After that: Luke Dahlhaus

Kev · 19/05/2014 at 22:48
If you fancy a punt, Tex Walker

shallots · 20/05/2014 at 03:07
im getting parker and buddy after byes

BlueBalls FC · 20/05/2014 at 17:29
i like dahlhaus, and with the dogs finals run he looks even better!!! in finals the dogs have st kilda north, sdyney & gws

.... · 19/05/2014 at 18:05
?

SCaddict · 19/05/2014 at 18:51
A super star in the making and should be on everyone's radar to perhaps fill that F5 or F6 spot.
The only concern is that he's already had a couple of really influential games but they haven't translated to massive SC scores yet.

GarglesnarfFC · 19/05/2014 at 19:48
Hartung is the only likely bubble boy this week, unless GWS pick O'Rourke to come in for Greene. Hartung is probably an ok pick with half decent JS for at least 3-4 weeks. O'Rourke is a gamble IMO, he the 2012 No 2 draft pick but hasn't exactly set the world on fire in his 2 games so far, probably only a 30% chance to get picked anyway.

shallots · 20/05/2014 at 03:08
Hartung and Shenton

Kris · 20/05/2014 at 17:45
could look at kane mitchell after you see how he plays this round (bit pricey though)

SCaddict · 19/05/2014 at 18:49
Has an ankle complaint so the bye has come at a good time. Don't think it's super serious but whether he misses a week or two remains to be seen. Hoping that the week off is all he needs.

throttlefinger · 19/05/2014 at 20:48
Regardless of injury, getting the vest to start the game isn't a great sign.

PJay · 20/05/2014 at 00:05
You're right throttle, not a good a sign at all. A complete waste of trades that I couldn't afford. DOH !

SCaddict · 19/05/2014 at 18:45
Think you are on the right track there. I have Burgoyne and he's been uber prolific so far though I rate Kade highly as well. His team mate 1AW is worth considering too.

Lisa · 19/05/2014 at 19:03
Hmmm…yes walker is one I hadn’t thought of. Thanks for your help 🙂

throttlefinger · 19/05/2014 at 20:47
Of the 3: Simpson, Burgoyne and Birchall. Walker I'd rate higher than Birchall.

Lisa · 20/05/2014 at 07:46
Do u think with Gibson and lake being out for a while now may help birchalls scoring ability?

Lisa · 20/05/2014 at 07:48
Do u think with Gibson and lake being out for a while now may increase birchalls scoring ability?

throttlefinger · 20/05/2014 at 08:20
Good point, Lisa. Yet, I still think that's going to benefit Burgoyne more. Birchall's score will definitely go up so it may be a good value pick. But still 4th choice of the bunch.

Lisa · 20/05/2014 at 10:28
Thanks 🙂 Burgoyne or Simpson it will be then.

Bruce · 19/05/2014 at 21:48
Brodie Smith (Ade) or S D Thompson (North) as POD maybe?

throttlefinger · 19/05/2014 at 20:46
First option for the reasons you suggest. More flexibility. Walker for sure over Hodge. Too injury prone. Plus AW's form is picking up.

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 21:07
Is there any way you can get Walker and J Selwood with doing 3 trades. That would be the way to go in my opinion.. You will not see either of them any cheaper than they are now.
Cheers.

Jackson · 19/05/2014 at 22:35
Thanks Ocker and Throttlefinger for your help! Unfortunately Ocker, I don't think I can. I did try to downgrade kennedy-harris to charlie cameron but I'm 6.5k short, and I want to avoid downgrading tyson or langdon because of their low BE. The only way I can think of is to downgrade a premium, which I definitely want to avoid.
Thanks

shallots · 20/05/2014 at 03:13
Hey- watch out about Langdon and Tyson!!!! They are fools gold! They can both easily drop very quickly in price now which means you may have to dump them before you plan and with them you want to upgrade meaning youre gonna want to have cash lying around.
You might find yourself in a position where you need to upgrade them ASAP but have no $. Id consider getiing rid of them- 2 easy upgrades for not much cashola.

Jackson · 20/05/2014 at 16:23
Yeah you do have a point, it'll help with the bye situation as well if tyson's gone and I'll have enough to afford walker and selwood. Thanks mate

Josh · 19/05/2014 at 19:11
Bruest has been around a little longer. I'm not brave enough to make this prediction.

MightyDonsFC · 19/05/2014 at 19:28
I'd say they're equal, save yourself 40k and go for Wingard?

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 21:09
How long is a piece of string? I would go Wingard on natural ability.

shallots · 20/05/2014 at 03:15
Id say Breust. I have been watching wingard and his game and mindset have changed for the time being.
Lately he has more or less done his job by kicking 3-4 goals as opposed to going out and getting 25-30 touches. And that is a real concern. If he is happy getting 3 goals and 15 touches then that doesnt help in SC

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 21:14
Flippers price won't drop this week because he is not playing, Depends if you have 18 on the field. I would suggest you wait for Cameron or Shenton but in saying that I took the risk and put Cameron in last week.
Flipper has to go but you should be looking at upgrading before downgrading. (You have 3 trades this week)
Cheers

Brad · 19/05/2014 at 21:26
Or charlie cameron?

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 21:28
I would wait and see what Charlie Cameron does next game if he gets one next week.
Most of Richmond seconds should get a game next week. ( Coming from a very disappointed Richmond Man)

Brad · 19/05/2014 at 21:37
I got to get either Lennon or Cameron so I can get sell wood and peddles for dunstan and crouch

throttlefinger · 19/05/2014 at 21:39
Think Lennon has the more reliable future ahead. Sando seems very unpredictable about who he keeps in and omits.

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 22:23
Hey Matt, Did stats etc work for you okay?

throttlefinger · 19/05/2014 at 23:07
Yes, the thing is a marvel. Didn't help my team much yet gave incredible insights. Thanks Ocker!

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 23:10
Cheers Mate.
Glad to be of help.

Bruce · 19/05/2014 at 21:40
The way you were talking up Smurf to me over Cotchin earlier in the season i had you as a Blues man. FYI I still holding Cotch!? Will Matt Thomas play this week?

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 22:42
Hi Bruce, Are you referring to me? If so I make my decisions based on stats and the best for the Community not who I barrack for.
Short answer is Cotch probably won't play this week, Thomas not sure about as Dimma is a broken man at the moment. You never know what meetings can do to a man in a week off football.

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 21:31
How long is a piece of string?

SCaddict · 19/05/2014 at 21:34
Yeah it's about the 5th time in this thread the same question has been asked ha ha
Obviously a heck of a lot of coaches are considering him and rightly so.

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 21:40
Me too Addict but feel I must go Pendles and J Selwood this week. 2 guns for 3 rookies and cash must do.

SCaddict · 19/05/2014 at 21:56
They would be awesome upgrades so no worries there at all. I can only get Jelwood in myself this week and Pendles will just have to wait for another day.

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 22:01
Playing with the idea of getting Wingard instead of Pendles because his BE is still 140 could wait but SJ coming down big time soon too,
Your opinion please mate.
Cheers.

SCaddict · 19/05/2014 at 22:15
I only have one forward spot left to fill so still weighing up Wingard, Buddy and other options.
140 is a very achievable BE for Pendles so wouldn't let that put you off too much. Sure he'll probably be a little cheaper at some point in the next month but you will be missing out on his excellent output until then. Not sure he'll ever dip below $600K this season so you may only save $30K or $40K in waiting, if that.
So I would stick with your initial instincts and get those two midfield champions in and consider Wingard or other forward options in the coming weeks.

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 22:21
Cheers mate that is what I will do Pendles has a habit of going silly after a bye as well, I know it is very achievable for him and don't think I will see this price again.
Done deal. Only have one forward spot and put Charlie Cameron in last week, Between him and Lloyd with dead rookie might get me best score in forwards after byes.
Cheers.

Captain joc · 19/05/2014 at 22:53
Ocker you have given me a lot of advice over the last couple of weeks time for me to give you some I’ve got 3 words for you about considering wingard over pendles
Pendles: GET HIM IN!!! He hasn’t gone huge much apart from the 182 but he has been getting consistent 110-130s don’t think he has dropped below 100 yet this year

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 23:01
Cheers Captain, Only considered due to break even but pendles can get that easy coming off a bye he scores very well, Didn't need to convince me but thanks bloke, Selwood and Pendles has always been the plan because I put Goddard in as number 8 mid last week. Look out after byes I AM cumming.
Cheers.

Derek · 19/05/2014 at 23:07
Yes! Must have Pendles and Jelwood.
Pies have great run coming up, he will do very well.

Captain joc · 20/05/2014 at 00:23
All good mate I’m trying to figure out who to get in def/fwd as my other upgrade as I’m going polec to selwood
I think you told me the other day but I’m really considering a Higgins to buddy trade next week lol

Ocker · 20/05/2014 at 00:40
That is funny Captain.

shallots · 20/05/2014 at 03:19
yeah buddy is looking awesome marking wise now- havent seen that for 5 years!!!!!!!!!! and the swans are looking good!!!!! buddy is going to be a must have- and only 400K? hahaha he will be worth 600K in 6 weeks just watch.

Emmanuel · 20/05/2014 at 18:43
Would you consider putting buddy back in if you’ve already had him and traded him out? At a loss mind you…

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 21:35
Sorry none of them for me, Surely you can do better.

Derek · 19/05/2014 at 23:05
Buddy and Hanley.

Flacid Jaff · 20/05/2014 at 11:51
Ideally I'd get Hurn AND Hanley but not Buddy OR Nroo.
But if I have to chose it'd be Hanley and Buddy

Tom.H · 19/05/2014 at 22:45
I have 12 left after this round, although I am 1 away from having a full premo team so i'm not TOO worried

Kris · 19/05/2014 at 23:53
14 after this round with a bang bang bang

Derek · 19/05/2014 at 23:04
I heard he had 64 possies in the NEAL on the weekend. Yes!! 64.

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 23:05
Do not part with him if you have held him this long, KILLED it in reserves would have to be back in after bye.

shallots · 20/05/2014 at 03:21
get rid of him- he wont be playing much AFL this year. Plus his poor attitude doesnt help. Great player but wont squeeze into a team that is running like clockwork at the moment!!!!!
Get him out for buddy- you wont be disappointed.

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 23:08
It will cost you about $24,000 but I don't like it.

Philthy · 19/05/2014 at 23:22
So I've got 300 to spend, was going to blow it all on Crouch to Jelwood bang bang with some spare change for the above trade?

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 23:34
Crouch to Jelwood is a top move but surely there is someone else you can trade, 3 trades? NOW is the time to use them. Are you just going for league? Put your team up and I will see if I can help.
Cheers.

Philthy · 20/05/2014 at 21:05
Thanks Ocker, just going for league now unfortunately albeit for decent cash anyway, ended up swinging a few things making 3 trades, crouch out for shenton, swinging fwd to trade Cyril for jelwood and Smitchell for NDS, thoughts?

Derek · 19/05/2014 at 23:23
Zac smith looked good

Captain joc · 20/05/2014 at 00:18
Have a look at Goldstein 2 tons in a row 470k Minson is a safe pick at 501k and another would be Ryder although he has the bye this week has tonnes up last 5 games
Personally I traded pyke to goldy last week
Pyke should be back after Sydney’s bye

Philthy · 20/05/2014 at 21:09
Thanks Captain joc, I am now embarrassed about picking the big Canadian, hasn't relished the role without mummy as I'd hoped, will hold him for a week or two now as he can't lose much more cash!

Captain joc · 20/05/2014 at 21:45
All good mate your not the only one who picked him up at the start of the season I did too I was so glad to get rid of him

Derek · 19/05/2014 at 23:22
How much cash?

Captain joc · 20/05/2014 at 02:30
You could downgrade derickx to someone who’s the lowest price then pump that 170k into upgrading wright to a gray/Harvey/Dahlhaus
I wouldn’t do too much this week as it seems as tho you could wait a little bit for your rookies to fatten up and your fairly covered for the byes

Kev · 20/05/2014 at 11:22
Hey Johnno, I really think you can just sit back this week mate. Your D6, D7, D8, is of some concern, but neither of the 3 are ready to be culled yet. Same with your F6, F7, F8. Your mids and rucks look super.
If you really want to trade, Wright up to a Dahlhous or Gray, but that depends on the amount of cash you have and it's a bit trading for trading sake

Ocker · 19/05/2014 at 23:26
Hey Derek, Higgo did mate but I have little acorns, The big problem is how do you get that much money to bring him back in? I don't think you could afford it once he is gone from your team. Price will not go below $700,000 in my opinion. Remember we are talking about a permanent Captain regardless of who he plays but your choice.
I would not even consider it.
Cheers.

Danny · 20/05/2014 at 00:57
CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY. Never dump the master unless LTI
Fact is uber premo's don't care if they verse a good side. Just means more hard ball gets.
I do re-call a lot of talk about Pendles hard run before the byes so ppl may want to leave him out. I don't think the hard run has hurt him. "Sometimes" these premo's score less against lesser sides.
Sorry, really first time I have been brave enough to put an opinion. (I'm a rookie)

Kris · 20/05/2014 at 10:35
a LTI to gaz would make each head to head round a lot more interesting

Ocker · 20/05/2014 at 15:12
Don't be afraid to voice your opinion mate especially a constructive one that is why we are here.
Your opinion is a very good one to have and 100% right. Well done mate.

Rocksta · 20/05/2014 at 01:09
GAJ scored 184 on the weekend and is averaging over 150 for the season.
Read the above out allowed to yourself and then ask yourself if it could ever be contemplated to trade him out.
I know people whom are having to restructure their teams just trying to get him in . He is the set and forget Captain, week in week out.

pieofgod · 20/05/2014 at 11:19
I followed Mick da Mad Irishman's strategy of leaving him and Pendles out and no GAJ has been my biggest regret of the year cos i just cant compete with good lists that have him as Captain…if R.Griffen doesn't return to last years form I will turn him into GAJ following his tuff run in 5-6 rounds. My feedback – its a hihgly risky plan with minimal pay off – just not worth it

SCaddict · 20/05/2014 at 13:15
It's an act of desperation for those with a terrible ranking or at the bottom of their leagues that is sadly very unlikely to bear fruit. Only likely burning a trade and making your team weaker.
How many teams in the top 100 don't have GAJ? I haven't checked but I'm guessing it's few and far between.
Simply the greatest fantasy footballer we have ever seen and is likely to be the first player picked in most 2015 teams as well, especially by those who didn't start with him this season ha ha.

Derek · 20/05/2014 at 16:58
just putting it out there (wasn't ever going to do it)

WombatsFC · 20/05/2014 at 21:32
Beyond Blue might be able to help if you consider going that way again. Ending it all isn't the answer your luck will change keep Gaz until you see his coffin covered with dirt.

Kris · 20/05/2014 at 10:33
save your trades for another week then

Derek · 20/05/2014 at 16:58
be patient. Everyone this year seems to be in such a mad rush to get to full premium. Unless you are going for rank, take your time. As long as you are doing better than 50% win/loss in the leagues, you need to build the premium team by round 17, not round 12.

Ripper_Roo · 20/05/2014 at 18:57
Hi Matt, Grima is out at least another week with a foot complaint, so it should help your decision.

MightyDonsFC · 20/05/2014 at 07:41
14 marks, 23 contested, 5 tackles, 12 clearances and a lazy few goals. He also had 27 handball receives and 16 hardball gets.

Derek · 20/05/2014 at 16:56
I think he is Zorko (has anyone seen the two of them in the same room together!)

Josh · 20/05/2014 at 19:17
I think he might be over his ankle concerns.
I have him since the start of the year, had to decide between him and Parker. Although I am hurting now, Tom has the ability to knock out large scores and bad games when fit are 100 min. Selfish players dont get games anymore.
He will out score Parker this year.
He is a GUN

Kev · 20/05/2014 at 11:27
Maybe so, but look at his first 6 rounds to see why you shouldn't risk it. 54, 79, 130, 29, 104, 31. Absolute rollercoaster of the highest order.
Plenty of discussion on Wingard, scroll up

Cameron · 20/05/2014 at 17:21
Gotta risk it to get the biscuit!

blake · 20/05/2014 at 07:48
mate get pendlebury straight into your team, worth the cash

julz · 20/05/2014 at 08:27
I traded Polec to Jobe last week (yeah know Jobe has bye this week but was too cheap too ignore! Plus it fit my structure)
I say get Pendles in ASAP if you can 🙂

pieofgod · 20/05/2014 at 08:40
Agree – Pendles is 50k odd cheaper than last year right now – you cant lose

Tom.H · 20/05/2014 at 08:40
Cheers guys. Straight in

Cam_H · 20/05/2014 at 10:46
Same issue here: Polac likely to go up by $15,000 to $20,000, Pendlebury likely to go down by $10,000 to $15,000 this week …. $30,000 to get 'say' 30 extra points in one week due to arousal? I'm not sure myself.

Flacid Jaff · 20/05/2014 at 11:47
Agreed! I know it's easy to over-excite, but make the trade next week when the arousal curve is at it's peak!

Tom.H · 20/05/2014 at 08:44
I would consider him for an extreme POD option yes, but not at this point in the season.
If he still averages 111 for the rest of the season, look to bring him in around the supercoach finals time. North have a dream finals run, so he will be a great pick up then.
Risky pick now

Tom.H · 20/05/2014 at 08:48
Get pendles NOW. They're playing WCE at the MCG so there's no doubting that Pendles will have a day out. I think he will go above his Break Even (145). So it's time to get him

Cam_H · 20/05/2014 at 11:04
His average is 110 against West Coast, and last year he played the Eagles on the MCG he got 111. I don't know if he will get over 145 – which I can certainly envisage – but I'm a bit wary. As noted in a similar thread just above, there's a case either way.

Derek · 20/05/2014 at 16:54
I have exact same position. Will get Jelwood this week, and Pendles next

WombatsFC · 20/05/2014 at 21:35
I suppose it depends on whether Polec is your M7 or M8 or on the bench. With JKH at 300k and charlie cameron 120k surely you can paint the fence a turn dunstan into selwood

Gba · 20/05/2014 at 21:44
Yer polec is my m8 so im thinking i hold him off till next week possibly

Tom.H · 20/05/2014 at 08:42
I think it definitely depends on who is named. If fasolo is named (and is not the sub) then trade Taylor.
If he is not named, then trade Fasolo.

Ocker · 20/05/2014 at 15:25
I would keep Taylor due to his DP and also starting to score okay. Dual Position rookies are hard to find.

Dinkum Davo · 20/05/2014 at 20:46
Think it’ll have to be goodbye to fasolo cos I changed my mind from A walker to K Simpson n need the extra dollars

WombatsFC · 20/05/2014 at 21:08
You don't intend to keep either on the field so keep Taylor for his flexi. I think his breakeven is only 2 or less

Kev · 20/05/2014 at 11:31
Should be one of the last trades you make IMO. Get in someone cheap for him and you'll hopefully have around 220-240k to upgrade that last rookie on the field. Has been of great service for me while Mumford has been out

Tom.H · 20/05/2014 at 08:47
I would hold onto him. Ross Lyon will certainly rest Sandi, although I don't think he will rest him as long as expected, due to Fremantle's ladder position. I would keep Derickx until there's a new rookie on the bubble

Derek · 20/05/2014 at 16:53
I have been waiting for Zac Smith to come back. Was thinking he might be eased into the game and might have a few sub scores to start and that will see his price drop to under $400k. I had dreams of going derickx to Smith for $100k.
I watched Zac on the weekend, he is a dead set gun!

SCaddict · 20/05/2014 at 13:05
It's dead easy to look them up yourself mate:
JR Brumby FC (Jock)
CrouchingTiger FC (CrouchingOne)
Mathemagic FC (Peter)

john snow · 20/05/2014 at 19:14
ah thanks, might just do that

The Mullet · 20/05/2014 at 11:06
Did a bit of research on Libba vs Pendles on SC gold.
Pendles scores- 127 182 115 129 128 124 102 128. In the preseason, a few left him out on the theory he had a tough run up to his bye. IF they were right, his scores are only going UP from here. Personally, I think he is likely to knock up a lot more of the 130 ish scores with the occaisonal really big one. His averages against finals opponents are 104 114 107. He is a perma VC (we know who the perma C is)and everyone should have him in their team. The only question is when to get him. Despite his 145 BE, I can't see him getting much cheaper.
Libba's scores- 79 111 154 82 76 96 139 171. Note that he has had more really big scores than Pendles, but isn't as consistent. His current BE is only 24 and SC gold is projecting a 40k price rise this week. If you want Libba, NOW is a good time to get him. His averages against finals opponents are 90 86 67(GWS, not much history).
I favour Pedles for a few reasons. He is one player that I believe you MUST get into your team at some point. He is about as cheap as he is likely to get. His ceiling and captaincy credentials are at least as good as Libbas. Some would argue they are better. My two bobs worth anyway.

The Mullet · 20/05/2014 at 11:08
Is Pendles worth the extra coin? Yep. Every cent.

Captain joc · 20/05/2014 at 14:48
5 of 8 scores between 124-129 that is so valuable I’m glad I’ve had him since the start

jvk16 · 21/05/2014 at 08:41
yep you sold me with that
thanks heaps for putting in the effort to do that
its people like you that make this place what it is!

Derek · 20/05/2014 at 16:50
i ws one of the ones that thought I could start without Pendles and pick him up after the bye for cheap. It looks like it has worked well for Jelwood, but pendles is half a step above. Will have to wait one more week to get pendles (get Jelwood this week)

Captain joc · 20/05/2014 at 21:43
I wasn’t gonna start with but decided too at last minute and thank god I did

Flacid Jaff · 20/05/2014 at 11:43
Agreed.
I'm holding onto Fasolo. He's in the best 22 and has got more cash to make us. Providing he keep his form when he comes back, I'm onsidering keeping him as my permanent F7!

pieofgod · 20/05/2014 at 11:50
like wise mate

bricksavy · 20/05/2014 at 14:17
hold the Han fasolo! great foot skills spell points to me. IN the best 22. Sold. Keeper.

Garglesnarf FC · 20/05/2014 at 14:48
Holding DoReMi for now, patience will be sorely tested if he does not get named thursday though.

Cam_H · 20/05/2014 at 11:34
Grima's injured, so you'd want to check his availability.
I'm not a big one for saying 'get him' or 'don't get him', but Suckling to Grima seems somewhat of a sideways trade… can you go up or down from Suckling?

Matt · 20/05/2014 at 11:44
Yeh after i wrote this i re evaluated my trades and think i might hold off on that one
Thanks for the help

Cam_H · 20/05/2014 at 11:40
I don't disagree with what you're saying. For me, he's got the bye this week so I wouldn't trade him in, and last year he fell short of his 2012 form so some might be a bit 'gun shy'. Good point though. :O)

Kris · 20/05/2014 at 12:05
Like Cam said the bye is prob why not much chat atm.
But I also think Pendlebury is more dependable to keep pumping out the tons and you can just about expect a nice 120 each week. JPK is having a ripper of a season though

Kris · 20/05/2014 at 12:07
Also as Jock mentioned in the podcast there is only a select few (3?) that has pulled a ton in every match. and JPK isnt one of them.

SCaddict · 20/05/2014 at 12:31
Only missed the tonne once with 91 in that debacle against GWS in round 1. Pendles also barely scraped through with a 102 so the difference is pretty marginal there.
Pendles does enjoy a 6pt higher average though JPK has steadily closed that gap. In fact over the past 5 games JPK has averaged 136 to Pendles 122.

Captain joc · 20/05/2014 at 14:44
I’m looking at jpk as my last mid spot

Mathew · 20/05/2014 at 22:31
This is what ive been looking at. The last 5 games he has killed it and the last 3 he is 144 average hitting 150+ twice
The only worry about him i think is if he can sustain this form. 2012 he seamed to do the same thing then drop off right near the end that is the only reason id choose pendles over him but i still think he is a top pick up

bricksavy · 20/05/2014 at 19:26
That's exactly what I was thinking, but going t pull him in as he has a low BE.

WombatsFC · 20/05/2014 at 21:13
How many minutes did they test his knee for in the Neafl?

Kristofor · 21/05/2014 at 16:53
I'm very tempted by Mumford.. break even of 6…
Set to go up 50k.. it's either now or never..
I have Sandilands and Lobbe (who has been a bit of a dissappointment, and under an injury cloud..)
Lobbe out for Mumford?

Kris · 20/05/2014 at 11:59
I wouldnt be trading premo for premo until i can field a whole premo side.
Have polec? Could upgrade him to pendles if you have a lil bit of cash.
But I agree having dependlebury in your team is a good move.

pieofgod · 20/05/2014 at 14:25
No Polec, he turned into Selwood last week. Not a huge surplus of trades – just teased by the fact Cotchin has underacheieved and Pendles is likley as cheap as he will get.
Thanks fro advice gents…ill wait till closer to lock out, then throw the proverbial dart at the board…likely do the fun thing and get the young man from Sale on the roster

SCaddict · 20/05/2014 at 12:39
If you have a few spare trades in your hip pocket over and above those needed for rookie upgrading and injuries then it's something to look at.
Unfortunately I don't think I can afford to burn a trade for that purpose right at the moment but maybe something I consider down the road. Certainly if Cotch is sidelined for a few weeks then that move becomes a lot more viable in my situation.

Tom.H · 20/05/2014 at 12:15
pendles

dognino · 20/05/2014 at 13:45
I'm going to hold for a bit longer, he is my M 8 at the moment , so I'm going to wait and see how other premiums are travelling in a few weeks time after some of my new cash cows have fattened

deadly · 20/05/2014 at 15:34

Captain joc · 20/05/2014 at 21:42
Well said above

Sarah · 20/05/2014 at 15:13
Gray has been more consistent than Harvey.

Tom · 20/05/2014 at 15:48
2. Don't trade swan

Cam_H · 20/05/2014 at 18:37
vinnymac,
Unless there's something wrong injury-wise with Swan that I'm unaware of, I'd go Option 2 if anything. I'm actually hanging on to Matt Crouch as bench cover, at least for the next few weeks (but you might not be able to do that – I don't know your team – do you have other downgrade-able midfielders with the Round 10 bye?).

Jack · 20/05/2014 at 17:41
I think those trades are good but you should also think about upgrading Suckling. Bartel or Simpson are good options but otherwise your teams looking great!!

WombatsFC · 20/05/2014 at 21:25
You might consider getting another 105+ fwd

Tom · 20/05/2014 at 21:56
Hold Zorko

WombatsFC · 20/05/2014 at 21:28
Nice Josh but you might struggle this week, I count 6 with the bye.

Tom · 20/05/2014 at 21:55
pwoah, almost full premo!
how many trades do you have left?

Ocker · 20/05/2014 at 18:20
What do you think both these players will score and I will give you a price.
Cheers

Gab · 20/05/2014 at 18:25
ah just as a pure guess, Polec 100 and Pendles 130
Cheers Ocker

Ocker · 20/05/2014 at 18:44
If Pendles gets 130 he will go down $6,000
IFIFIF Polec gets 100 he will go up $17,000

Gab · 20/05/2014 at 19:49
haha you sound confident in polec ocker!!
he is versing hawks so hopefully he cracks the ton again!!

Cam_H · 20/05/2014 at 18:50
Took me by surprise too Kris. I have him and intending to keep him on the bench to see what happens in the next few weeks, but I'm not entirely confident about his job security. There are still several Crows vying for selection and a few returning from injury in the coming weeks. I have similar concern for Charlie Cameron, who I don't think I'll trade in until/unless he's on the bubble and selected in the starting 22.

Kris · 21/05/2014 at 17:36
Cheers cam. Your spot on regarding his now shaky JS. But the kid is very good at what he does. As much as I would like to get rid of the uncertainty that he now brings, I think I will be forced to keep him for another week as I plan on three upgrades hopefully

Crowmagnon · 20/05/2014 at 18:43
Do you have another lamb that is ready to silence? You could always do3 trades this week. Bang bang bang!

Ocker · 20/05/2014 at 18:49
Hard to miss out on Selwood this week at his price and B/E. This is the last week of being able to do 3 trades if you are willing to make them. Put your team up and you might get some assistance or advice.
Cheers.

Dutch Life · 20/05/2014 at 19:06
Here is my team:
Def: Swallow Bartell Jaensch Simpson Birchall Langdon (Cutler Geogiou)
Mids: Ablett Pendulbury JPK Watson Cotchin Murphy S.Johnson Hallahan (Acres Crouch)
Rucks: Sandilands Dericx (Hicky King)
Fwds: Dangerfield Parker Zorko Martin Wright JKH (Taylor Ambrose)
13 trades left and$55,400 I’m the bank.
Thanks community

Ocker · 20/05/2014 at 20:00
Option 1
JKH – C Cameron
T Cutler – J Tippet
M Crouch – J Selwood.
This leaves you $32,700 in the bank.
I do see a problem in the ruck department though and you could have big problems there soon. Hickey another 5 weeks according to AFL Site.
It has been a rumor for a while that Sandilands would be rested after the bye as well which means he could be out for 2 weeks. (Rumors) I think that is why "Crouching One" suggested trading him this week.
Also Wright and Zorko have very high B/E 133 and 137 respectively I am not a fan of either and can't see them being top 6 at end of year.
Would you like another option? Who would you like to have in your forward line?
Cheers.

Dutch Life · 20/05/2014 at 20:06
Thanks mate, I am looking to get Robbie Gray in my fwd line in the coming weeks, and maybe even Bruest, Franklin, Roughead.
Yes I do realise that my Rucks are a major issue and was planning to upgrade Hicky to the like of Goldstein.

Ocker · 20/05/2014 at 20:07
Just cooking tea I will check back in about 1 hour.

Ripper_Roo · 20/05/2014 at 21:16
Ocker, you are an absolute champ in this community. The likes of yourself, throttlefinger, SCAddict, and a few others, are so selfless it makes supercoach an excuse to relate with folks like yourselves. Your generosity will come full circle.

Ocker · 20/05/2014 at 22:07
Cheers mate, Gives me something to do and I like to try and help people.

Captain joc · 20/05/2014 at 21:39
I say wright down to Cameron and then crouch to selwood and then you could do hickey to Goldstein with 6k left then next week downgrade derickx to the cheapest non playing ruck man and then upgrade JKH to a fwd premo
You might just have to take a bit of a hit this week if you really want to get selwood in

Ocker · 20/05/2014 at 22:31
Option 2
Bit left field and could be said sideways but it depends on who you want to keep in forward line.
M Wright – Franklin
Zorko – C Cameron
Crouch – Selwood
This leaves you $101,900 in the bank for a straight swap and only one trade next week.
Hickey – Goldstein. On the proviso that Goldy does not score more than 95 you should have enough money.
Hickey and bank = $478.700
Goldy price $470.500 B/E 77 Score of 95 would make him $478.226 on current Champion Data multiplier.
You can afford any of the forwards you mentioned for Wright, But Franklin is the only one that will allow you to possibly get straight swap next week.
Hope this is of some help.
PS: Do not part with Derickx he is too handy as backup.
Cheers.

Dutch Life · 20/05/2014 at 23:27
Ocker and Jock, Thank you guys so much for your help, you two have guided me into the right direction, you’s are a major help in the community, and we all thank you’s for it.
Keep up the great work Jock, fantastic stuff

Ocker · 21/05/2014 at 00:09
You are welcome mate, I happen to have the time and like to help the Community where I can I give an opinion.

Captain joc · 20/05/2014 at 21:50
If you have a decent amount of trades left then yeah I would as I don’t fully believe cotchin gives premium output

Azmataz · 20/05/2014 at 21:11
I would say you Mid premo's are Abz, Beams, Swan, Murph and maybe Cotch but he hasn't done much this year..
Def premo's are Bartel, Swallow, McV, Enright and I think you are going to have to hold on to oe of R Shaw or Suckling given your lowish trades left. Hanley will be cheaper next week so I would consider swapping R Shaw or Suckling to Hanley (proven premo and under-priced). Langdon might just be a good D6..
I like your trades that you have in mind. Just not 100% on Hartung but hopefully he gets named.

Emmanuel · 21/05/2014 at 12:05
Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it. Definitely helps!

Captain joc · 20/05/2014 at 21:18
What about
Shaw to bews or j.tippett or j.hunt should net you about 300k you could loophole between Langdon/Langford as D6 with hunt not playing so just put the Emergency on whoever is playing first if they go good then put hunt on field
Dunstan to selwood -230k
Rioli to gray -40/50k
Then next week you could downgrade Robertson to shenton/Lennon
Upgrade suckling to walker

Captain joc · 20/05/2014 at 21:20
Also have a look at hawks injury list see if there is a update on rioli as you have already kept him for 2 week so he could be back soon

Emmanuel · 21/05/2014 at 12:06
Thanks I’ll see how long Rioli is out for

Emmanuel · 21/05/2014 at 12:06
That’s great thank you. Especially the part about using the loophole

Glorin · 20/05/2014 at 22:00
Tip for next year. Create a second team for that weekly trade "fix! Buy low, sell high.

Bricksavvy · 20/05/2014 at 21:48
Back – swallow mcvigh jaensch Dunn Langdon kolod McDonald …….. Georgio…….. *Shakes head.
Mids gaz beams sellwood Goddard libba Tyson polec maccrea acres
Mumford Macintosh Sandi derix
Danger Parker wright billings fasolo Lloyd thurlow ambrose
Next week
Trade macintosh for buddy using thurlow swing set
Then look at clay beams type for polec looking to trade in the week after that to upgrade maccrea to Burgoyne
Then – oh I'm not finished trading……..
Trade more as the few remaining cows mature. Using danger into mid or something crazy like that.
There's always next year……

WombatsFC · 20/05/2014 at 21:06
I wouldn't go for Boomer he has a habit of backing up monsters with minnows

Captain joc · 20/05/2014 at 21:08
You were right as he was doing sideways trades

Steve · 20/05/2014 at 21:14
Captain joc (phew) thought so. But should I go again! .? To me Simpson is a premo and should score 90+ all year. So laidlaw/Watson = Simpson/hurartung….Can bring Kennedy and sj. Next two and Parker 3 weeks to give virtually a set of premos?

Captain joc · 20/05/2014 at 21:48
Who do you want to trade in and out?

Josh · 21/05/2014 at 22:22
I am in the same position with T.Mitchell
My name is not Jock but I believe Tom is a competitive beast.
His ankle is yesterdays news & he has a many tonnes to come & a solid spot in the team – if selected.
Why do they need him ? A pure inside mid extractor to help out JPK/Mcglynn. All the other midfield bunch do not provide this role; even parker who is playing a mid forward.
