A full weekend of footy you BEAUTY
And this round may have already kicked off with Sydney THUMPING Geelong but there is still plenty of water to travel under the bridge in terms of trading this weekend.
Settle in and get your pen and paper ready because Thursday is the night that the COMMUNITY SPEAKS. Tonight we even hear from a few mates from the jockey fraternity which is a real treat.
As discussed in the podcast – we’d be rapt if you could complete our quick Community survey. We’re after your voice on how we’re going, and where we might head into the future Click here..
Can't wait to listen to this so excited!
Superb effort Jock mate!
Swan or Goddard or Priddis as m8? Thoughts
goddard
Yeah Goddard
If you are looking to trade one of them in this week I would be looking at either Priddis or Goddard as both have a breakeven in the 50's
Swan has a B/E of 146 and may well come down further in price.
Should I get Watson or Goddard for polec
Watson
Toss a coin mate
Watson.
Goddard. Better value.
Hey community,
Looking to move Josh Kelly on this week, wondering who you would pick out of Cameron Shenton and Kane Mitchell?
Cheers
Shenton, his job security is better than Mitchell.
Langford to Jaensch? Or save the trade. 15 trades left.
What do you think?
Not a Jaensch fan and Langford has been used to tag but still has achievable B/E of 43.
I would be saving that trade and see what both players do this week. You need to be looking at a top 8 defender and I don't think Jaensch is in that category.
Hold. Aim higher than Jaensch.
I agree. If you don't have Jaensch yet, don't get him in – you can do better.
If you have him – hold onto him as he is good enough.
Save, hawks have GWS this week. However, with a new coach at Hawthorn for the year all Hawks will need watching as some will benefit, some won't and some won't change.
Is Queen Elizabeth going to join the sunday podcast Jock?
this sunday podcast
Shenton/Lewis Taylor/Hartung/Ambrose
Which 2 do e think will score the best this week?
2 will start, and 2 will be benched.
Lewis Taylor and Shenton.
Thanks for the feedback gents.
I started ambrose, with Shenton (Emerg), and have just switch S.Lloyd on for Ambrose to take advantage of Shentons 100points.
I am leaning towards starting Taylor as my M8, with Hartung (Emerg) – vest is an issue because I think they will give Simpkin a full game. Dont have the loophole luxury in the mids, as Acres has already collected his zero.
Damn I wish did the same. I have Shenton's 100 on the bench as an emergency – made a last minute swap with bloody Taylor..Oh well..
Thoughts on Kane Mitchell? Job Security?
I'd prefer my job security, and I work in the automotive industry.
That means – not secure, wouldnt go near him.
Too risky for mine in a very good team.
Dom Cassisi (knee), Angus Monfries (ankle) and Hamish Hartlett (suspended) all out of the side.
Paul Stewart, Andrew Moore and Jake Neade come into the side.
Considering this news, I differ in opinion to the above. as an M8 depending on your circumstances I reckon he may be a goer as opposed to other options.
Will he last whole year – maybe not. None of the above are long term injuries. But he is there long enough to make some $$ off him still
Pass. Too much to pay for someone who has low JS
I'm trading Polec to Shenton and Langdon to Simpson. Then enough cash to go Taylor to Parker next week.
Hi Daniel, Sound trading mate, Taylor may well be worth keeping a little longer after Parker's score tonight, Taylor has a low B/E of 3.
Parker's B/E next week will be about 113. (Lost about $3,000 in value tonight.)
Read a post a week or two ago that someone was looking for the stats interface to check players history.
If you go to the 2014 game strategy tab up top, there is a thread " higgenater is back" inside is a link to the stats interface tool.
Welcome
Hi dognino, Yes I think that was Wombat FC. I will let him know when I see him online.
Cheers.
Got walker, cutler and georgiou in my backline was originally gonna trade Langdon to Shenton but looks like I will cop a donut that way could swing swallow or Langdon into and somehow get shenton thoughts?
Ouch Captain, I have a similar problem and may have to cop a doughnut which hurts. I don''t have a midfield-defender swing in the middle. I still have Tom Clurey because I didn't want to waste a trade to get rid of him.
If you can swing someone back to cover I would be doing that to get Shenton.
Well my plan was Langdon to shenton, Higgins to buddy
Then next Langford to premo fwd and have about 100k leftover but I’ve already done the Higgins to buddy trade I could do cutler to shenton via swallow and then next week Langdon to fwd premo with no money leftover after that and only have to upgrade one mid
That sounds very good to me mate, Go for it.
Wondering what people’s thoughts were on Buddy tonight? I only got to see a bit of first quarter, how much impact did he have really? I see Buddy ended up eith 4.3 and tonned up in SC but figured that wouldn’t have been hard to do seeing sydney poleaxed geelong.
Is Buddy now worth looking at getting in, will go up 50k though probably. Obviously this wk was the best to get Buddy price-wise personally i avoided him as wasn’t convinced and i already have NRoo and Zorko spudding it in fwd line. Now having 2nd thoughts re: Buddy even for a fwd loophole option down the track (BTW i havent had buddy in my team
at all this year)
?
Just wondering other people’s opinions
He played a pretty good game, made a lot of contests. still a big risk tho as kurt 'made of glass' tippet could go down at any stage with an injury and then buddy will get double teamed by defenders again, and cats had a pretty weak back line tonight
I want to know if you got him in before lock out?
He played great so are you crying or happy??
Nah wes i didn’t get him have planned to do a double downgrade while there r rookies on the horizon.
SC website was down last night anyway after teams dropped thank god for the app on my phone only just managed to get bews into my team, fat lot of good that did with his huge score!
Might have to look at buddy next week pretty much a straight swap from Higgins but worried i could b going from one burnman to another (although Higgins has repaid the faith so far)
My trades this week were going to be Macrae and Higgins out for SHenton and Luke Parker and a lot of $$.
I changed my mind and went Macrae and G Rohan out for same pair without the cash influx.
Boy am I happy so far. Luke Parker vs Buddy… I'd take parker… solid as scorer.
I looked at doggies run over next 5 and apart from say dahl and libba, I just seek pts and $$ leaking… esp from macrae and Higgins.
But I will cop Higgins this week, seeing as he is set to play more a def into off role. Might help his scoring stay reasonably the same.
maybe Higgins to buddy for me too next week. but I am smitten by swans players at the moment.
Which of the three of Polec, Fasolo, Sam Lloyd to trade out for Shenton?
I'd go Lloyd – he seems real out of favour.
I think at least for this week you can keep Polec in with injuries there and his output should be around BE level and you won't lose on him.
I would go Polec – more money! If Lloyd is on your bench at the moment, I wouldn't worry too much about moving him on. I am holding onto him HOPING that he gets another crack soon. Same goes with Acres.
If he is on your field though, yeah move him on.
I would wait and see how Fasolo goes against the Saints.
I ent Kennedy Harris for lecras good trade????
Smart move getting rid of JKH. Can see LeCras as a high midpricer/low premium. I would prefer Watts 35k cheaper and a breakeven of 22.
For $420k you can do a lot better than Le Cras. You can get Wingard for $436k, Pavfor $434k, Dixon $421k, Nick Reiwoldt $399k, Buddy $430 odd k.
Need help, down grading Aish! Was thinking Shenton or K. Mitchell for pod? Thoughts?
Cameron Shenton.
Shenton – more cash and better job security
Shenton if you can cope with it score wise.
I’d trade polec! High break even and has prob reached his max.
Polec is gone for Rocky
Great podcast jock and some very good wisdom from the community,
Trying to decide if i should go Tex this week to sit at F6
My forwards – Danger,Dusty,Wingard,Pav,Buddy then rookies – impey,ambrose,cameron
Hi Maso, I am going to use Tex as my F7 emergency loophole player at his price, He may well act as an F6 for a week or two.
Shenton is the other option to generate some cash.
Who should I put captain out of:
Pendles, Watson, Beams, Cotchin, Libba and Goddard?
(Already used VC on Bartel)
Thanks community
I would select Libba or Beams, most likely Libba.
I would go pendles or beams vs a weaker SK side (sorry jock)
Libba could get Crowleyed altho he will most likely go to griff
I would go Pendles, he has an awesome record against the Saints
Should I play L. Taylor or Shenton on ground this week?
taylor, hes getting into form
Back to back 80's L Taylor is the man
trade shuey to ward or hold?
Hold. Too sideways there mate and GWS are back to shite again
Hi Community
Desperately need some help!!!. Currently starring at two donuts in DEF with J Tippett and Cutler both out but also want to trade Dunstan or Acres. Popular pick seems to be Shenton (St K) as he is cheap and a FWD/MID but would prefer to use the trade to pick up Wingard or Goddard instead if I can find the cash. Missed out on Bews last night (possibly a blessing with a score of 29) but now don't know who to trade Tippett out for with only $90k available and 16 trades left.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated.
are any of these players on your field or just bench?
Do you have any def/mid players in your midfield, It is hard to help without knowing your team structure.
Are Tippet and Cutler both on field players for you to have 2 doughnuts?
There is not much in defense but if you wanted to take a gamble on Brodie Martin (ADE) he has a B/E -21
make sure he is playing first. He is on the extended bench but has played last 2 games.
Cutler – Brodie Martin.
Dunstan – Wingard.
This will leave you $12,100 in the bank.
Anyone know much about Zach Obrien who is playing his first game for Brisbane this week? 23 year old that played 12 games for the Essendon reserves last year. Only $102k could be pretty helpful if his is any good.
is a gun played with him last year can find the footy, and tackles hard!
Cheers Mungos. Hope he goes well.
Made another dud move yesterday – traded R.Shaw out for M.Johnson. Should have traded Langdon out and kept Shaw a little longer. Then he goes and makes it worse with a 118.
Johnson a good trade in though. Will do very well with Freo's next 8 games
Any thoughts on a defender upgrade? My backline is McVeigh, Bartel, Simpson, Swallow, Langdon, Langford, Georgiou and Tippet. Thinking of Hibberd or Hanley. Thoughts on them or any other suggestions?
Cheers
Hibberd
Hibberd, hands down. He's only been scoring 90s of late so his price is ok and hopefully he'll be back up at 100-110s soon if Essendon can start playing some half-decent football
Hanley is cheap. If you are short on cash, I would get him
Definiely Hibberd mate. He is solid
jimmy cassidy never rode Makybe Diva.
Stick to fantasy footy jock
yeah… but it was funny!
Shenton looks a good trade in option but who to slaughter?
Option's
A: Aish
B: M. Crouch
Thoughts community ?
Aish's BE is 85 and Crouch's is 79. I'd be more inclined to cull Crouch first considering how they're scoring at the moment.
Get rid of Crouch mate he is not even named
Love some advise from the community.
Is K. Simpson (OUT Polec via DPP) worth getting in this week for a full BAC or shall I get in Dahlhuas for the non playing S Lloyd? Still have Taylor, Ambrose,Lloyd and Cameron to plump up in FWD
Dahlhuas for Lloyd looks good IMO…..Polec playing against Melbourne this week and St Kilda next week he will not leak cash too much…and will have a solid output…..
Lloyd on the other hand not sure whether he comes back into the team?
Simpson is a good pick but bit overs IMO…
Cheers,
Raj…
Hi Pots, It appears that you need to strengthen your forward line and Dahlhaus will do that but has a B/E of 125 this week, Which means he might come down a little in price. He is a keeper and a solid choice.
Simpson has a B/E of 49 and is a solid choice also, He may seem a little bit overs in price but his price should go up again next week. Will be top 6 defender in my opinion.
Depends on whether you are happy with your current back-line or not but I would be leaning towards fixing the forward line first with too many rookies on the ground.
Simpson over priced, and will get more attention in future weeks, not sure if he has proven himself as a keeper yet
Not proven as a keeper yet?
2011 Average 94.5 Last 3rd of season 106.7
2012 Average 93.7 Last 3rd of season 97.0
2013 Average 95.1 Last 3rd of season 107.7
Simpson has always been listed as a mid-fielder but is now a defender this season.
Yes he may get more attention but good players handle that he seems to have done that for a while.
Was going to go the FWD option but I think I may go with Simpson now since Langford is now out. Can't afford the 0.
Hope it all works out for you mate.
I should state that only two of these rookies are on the ground.
Which two should I put in out of JKH, impey, Lloyd and Charlie Cameron?
Whichever two aren't named as the sub when the games start! Likely to be JKH and Cameron. Lloyd isn't named to play.
With Lloyd not playing you can use the loophole on the others.
Who to field out of Lennon, Charlie Cameron and Ambrose?
Charlie
anyone else read jocks email in jocks voice? lol, im guessing im not the only one
anyone else read jocks email in jocks voice? lol, im guessing im not the only one. I even threw in a few “y’knows”
Guys im thinking about off loading Ablett and swinging in swallow from my defence, the trading Ablett to Jensch?
That will give me 514k to double upgrade my shocking forward line to a Zorko or N.Reiwoldt and Parker to finish my forward line.
Dude that is crazy
Terrible, terrible move. You're losing about 50-60 points and a surefire lock-in captain for a 20-30 point/week increase in the forward line.
Should have done it last week if you were going to. Could have made some money off it as well with gazza going to drop 50-75k in the next week or two. Only issue is the captaincy but if you have solid mid fielders then may as well do it
Best Forward Premo's?
Dangerfield, Robbie Gray, Boomer Harvey, Lukey Parker. Dont count out Dustin Martin and Jack Riewoldt with very low BE of 38 and 30.
Do not go for Jack Reiwoldt. You will get 50's
Thursday night footy is killing my SC decisions
Thursday's and Monday's as well are a right royal pain in the seat of my pants, Nearly as bad as byes.
Hey community, was going to do polec to pendles and impey to shenton, but with enright, j. tippett and now langford out in my backline i am staring at a donut. I have about 200k in the kitty and have 5 premo defenders already playing this week. I cant swing in anyone from the mids. Should i trade out langford and if so do i stick with getting pendles in or leave him for another week and get in shenton?
is Langford out?
omitted and named on the emergencies mate. its on the afl website "rd 11 full teams"
Get shenton and upgrade langford
My current backline is k. simpson, hibberd, bartel, swalow, hanley and enright. who should i get in?
I have Walker, Aylett, Webster and now Langford in DEF all not playing.
What about jaensch then you can loophole between jaensch and enright
A lot of people in this position I have walker, enright, Langford and cutler. Traded out cutler for bews on Thursday and now thinking of trading Langford to janech. It would mean I have Langdon on the bench next week but could move him on and shift cash to another line just not sure who to downgrade to. Can’t really loop hole as enright has played, and, trades would just allow you to avoid a donut
I would be inclined to cop the donut and stick with plan A. Both Pendles and Shenton are must haves
how do you think pendles will go with swan out? will he still score more than polec against melbourne?
Absolutely. I reckon he will score BETTER with Swan being out. I would say 95% chance that Pendles will outscore Polec.
taylor or hurting on field?
Taylor. Hartung has a high likelihood of getting the vest
best fwd premium
In order: Danger, Robbie Gray, Parker, Boomer Harvey, Dusty, Dahlhaus
Would place Dahl before Boomer and Dusty.
i'm worried that Langdon will get Vest tonight!
Good chance looking at bench.
Seeds man is the sub
Langdon named on the wing
Maxwell injury adds to job security and fasolo playing forward. With those in mind the question is “is Langdon a keeper” I believe the answer is really up to the individual and how many trades people have burnt on injuries during the year
Strongly considering Jack Steven! Great PoD if he comes good? Or do I need to have a good hard look in the mirror??
A major gamble mate but might just come off! I have took a gamble bringing in Rockliff for Polec this week despite Rocky having a poor record against Carlton. I also found that Rocky seems to score WAY better when playing for a losing team, so have took the punt.
Trust your gut.
Thanks Azmataz! Rocky is a gun and should reward your faith.
I rolled the dice with him, will make or break me. Gambling on him coming good for the remainder of the season
Langford out, now gonna get a 0 in defense because I can't reverse trades, great!
I have cutler, enright, walker and Langford so I feel your pain. I traded cutler for bews but also need to trade Langford now as he may not be in boltons plans and may have peaked in price. I wanted to get shenton in but unfortunately missed this week. Might downgrade Langford to Martin as with a full side my d6 is Langdon. I can use the cash to upgrade a mid next week or the week after. Good luck
Dane Swan OUT
Hells Bells!!
robbie gray in?
dahlhaus in?
No
Yes go for Dahlhaus he is consistent
Definitely.
brent harvey in?
Yes
Got him in last week should score well
Worth the upgrade I think
bruest in?
Hell no
No way
not bruest i meant gunston
Still a No
wingard in?
Maybe – not convinced
I would get him in cheap and should average around 90-100 from here on
Only if he kicks a bag a game, it seems.
Yeah he needs to kick 3 or 4 goals to break 100. I would rather go bloody Nick Reiwoldt
libba, pendles , fyfe, griffen, watson or heppel
In this order – Pendles, Libba, Watson, Griffen, Fyfe, Heppel.
I can just see Fyfe missing games along the way, and is too expensive. Griffen is a bargain but there are so many better options for a bit more cash in my opinion.
Yeah all in. Pendles VC.
Pendles.
thoughts on Hanley?
I wouldn't trade him in
Can't we him scoring as well as the opening rounds
Risky trade. No for me but I can see the upside. Will be a rollercoaster ride – a bit like Zorko
Just brought him in! He's getting his hands on the pill, and the bye has given him time to recuperate. He will explode any week now.
