Malceski's looking pretty good atm mate.

SCaddict · 15/06/2014 at 21:58
Both superb options. Kade will leak more cash so worth waiting a week or two there if you can to pick him up as cheap as possible.
Will be selecting Mal myself. Had an insane past 9 games for a defender and the Swans are flying with a bunch of spud opponents coming up and a friendly SC finals draw to boot.

scano · 15/06/2014 at 22:04
yeah I like Malceski aswell but I already have JPK, McVeigh, Parker and Franklin

Ryan · 15/06/2014 at 22:06
Don't know if that matters to much post-byes mate, and the swans aren't gonna lose too many either.

SCaddict · 15/06/2014 at 22:13
I have all those guys too Scano. The Swans are stacked like an All Star team and most weeks 6-10 players are tonning up.
So wouldn't let that put you off picking Malceski though nothing wrong going Kade if this really bothers you. You really want to pick the best players regardless of who they player especially now that the byes are done with.
Will be interesting to see how the Hanners and Tippo injuries changes things, if any, though the Swans do get easier opponents over the next 3. Also have Saints, Dogs and Tiges in the last 3 weeks of the season.

scano · 15/06/2014 at 22:14
cheers boys! admire the wisdom

SCaddict · 15/06/2014 at 22:15
*regardless of who they play for

MightyDonsFC · 15/06/2014 at 22:03
Malceski

Garglesnarf FC · 16/06/2014 at 09:32
Like everyone else Malceski. Playing a key role in a winning team, as opposed to a key role in a team that is a little Jeckyll and Hyde.
Plus the Blues run home is as bad as Freo is good, so I think the Blues share of points will be smaller than it has been.

SCaddict · 15/06/2014 at 22:23
Yep the lack of trades are beginning to really bite but will be hard for many coaches to pass up on the value of bringing in Stef Martin as discussed by the Inner Sanctum tonight.

SCaddict · 15/06/2014 at 21:37
If you don't have Rocky then if you wait a few weeks he could be sub $550K with a monster BE of 201!
JPK and Libba are awesome too but you will be paying top dollar there for the foreseeable future.

Luck of the Irish · 16/06/2014 at 00:21
It's an interesting one Scano, this year we have a plethora of midfielders averaging over 110, so as long as you pick one of them then you can't go wrong. However, for absolute best at given price I would have to say Fyfe, but he WILL get rested, other options leave Rory Sloane who is a fantastic pick, Stevie J is probably the biggest bargin, and Nick Dal Santo has come down nicely in price and we need no reminder of how good his finals run are. Although, would I be right in saying that you are looking for your final mid upgrade? If so, then I truly believe JPK is your man, and SCaddict's suggestion of Rockliff is superb. Because of that, then I believe pick one of these two players as they will, in my opinion, provide you with the best output out of all of your options.

scano · 16/06/2014 at 07:55
cheers ! 🙂

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 18:21
All comes down to how many other spots you need to fill. Fyfe is at a good price, But if you dont need to fill any other spots there are numerous good players to grab JPK would be my number 1 pick but there all that good its hard to pick one or two specific players.

BCHawks · 15/06/2014 at 21:39
got Martin in last week and am now going to have him as my fwd/ruck cover with B.Brown the swing man.

SCaddict · 15/06/2014 at 21:42
Reckon Stef Martin could be the most traded in player this week. But yes he may not be a keeper so would keep a spare trade up your sleeve if you are bringing him in, maybe for a sideways to Dixon at some point.

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 18:25
Martin has at least another 5 good rounds ahead of him to make a bit of cash. And should still play out the rest of the season even with looey playing like west did.(as long as his hammys hold up)
I know im looking at using Martin as my last spot in the fwd line (use as cover for sandi if needed) until later in the season when im ready to upgrade fully. Better than playing Ambrose/Shenton

Ryan · 15/06/2014 at 21:57
Mackie is only at a lowish price due to his sub-affected 50odd, worth the trade in my opinion.

MightyDonsFC · 15/06/2014 at 22:03
I'd do it

scano · 15/06/2014 at 21:52
why do you want to sideway trade Derickx to Ceglar?

Ryan · 15/06/2014 at 21:54
Howdy John
If ceglar gets game time, not a bad trade, derickx will slow down or get dropped when pike comes back.
Kennedy for me, consistently high scorer, not in a huge percentage of teams so another tick.

john · 15/06/2014 at 21:55
this is to generate cash because i have mcevoy sitting on the bench ready to come and play for the hawks.

The Garbo · 15/06/2014 at 22:19
Hold Trades. Cop Fasolo's losses as he does have a decent ceiling as a F6 and three trades for another 10? rds is asking for trouble

Ryan · 15/06/2014 at 22:22
Cheers mate

Mike · 15/06/2014 at 23:20
Big hint for you in Higgos section I reckon.

The Garbo · 18/06/2014 at 15:52
Fasolo has had a screw removed from his right navicular repair and could miss 3-4 weeks.

jockreynolds · 15/06/2014 at 21:48
Wingard I reckon Cuz – Rioli just not reliable enough

Cuz · 15/06/2014 at 21:52
Cheers Jock!

MightyDonsFC · 15/06/2014 at 21:52
Second that

oliverfisher · 15/06/2014 at 22:35
Wingard, i have rioli and he is just too inconsistent for my liking

SCaddict · 16/06/2014 at 04:02
Think we'd all like to have Cyril in our sides…if it were not for those lacky bands he calls hamstrings!
He's burnt untold numbers of coaches season after season as we've heard those all too familiar "twangs". Has only played 20 games once in his career so nuff said.
So do yourself a favour and don't become another statistic.:)

scano · 15/06/2014 at 21:55
veryyy riskky
hope montagna picks up his form for you

MightyDonsFC · 15/06/2014 at 22:02
Proven premium and a POD in my leagues, I'm confident he'll average 100+ for the rest of the season. Hopefully coming out of his poor form and can give me some 140's to work with!

The Filth · 16/06/2014 at 07:24
Playing with an injury is the rumour…

mungos men · 16/06/2014 at 10:44
Playing with injury and in sub par team, points have dipped with not having goddard and NDS in the team taking the major tag, likely will not average 110 points for remainder of the season… which I hate as he is in my team! maybe brad ebert is worth a look…

Ryan · 15/06/2014 at 21:58
Zorko mate

MightyDonsFC · 15/06/2014 at 22:00
Dahlhaus

dean · 15/06/2014 at 22:18
Actually might take stephen martin, to free up cash, and wait on who looks good a bit later on

throttlefinger · 16/06/2014 at 09:12
Between the two, Zorko seems to be picking up steam. Don't know if Daulhaus will be putting out 120+ again. Can see Zorko doing it again.
Have both but have been more impressed with Zorko's play of late. If you have cash, get Parker. Will Hanno out, he should get more mid time (=bigger scores)

The Mullet · 16/06/2014 at 13:45
I've had Swanny most of the season. He has been a bit dissapointing so far, but I'm confident he will pick up as we get closer to finals. He is a bit like Steve Johnson. Its a roller coaster ride. Just hang tight.

Ryan · 15/06/2014 at 22:09
Hopefully he won't be the burnman, but the mighty Hurnman!

oliverfisher · 15/06/2014 at 22:34
was thinking of bringing hurn in myself, i think he'll average 90-95 rest of the season

Mr chan · 15/06/2014 at 22:40
Hah. Yeah hopefully he will come home strong!

SCaddict · 15/06/2014 at 22:32
Yeah you really need to get these guys when they are on the bubble or it's wiser to just move on especially with the amount of trades most of us have left.
I would probably hang on to Shenton as bench cover for the rest of the season anyway as decent playing rookies are few and far between now.
As the guys said in the poddie Honeychurch may be just around the corner. I have my fingers crossed at least. He would actually make a sweet swing set with Shenton as Higgo mentioned.

Michael · 15/06/2014 at 22:48
Thanks SCaddict, already have swing set with Taylor which helped this week – I had O'Brien on field and just happened to hear he was sub about 2mins before the match, so swung Taylor into mids & put him on field, Shenton on fwd bench with Ambrose on field. Got me an extra 70 odd points!

oliverfisher · 15/06/2014 at 22:32
probably hold, though i do think he will play out the rest of the season. Doubt he will keep producing these kind of scores

Wattsieesq · 15/06/2014 at 23:18
I am not trading this week. I'll let my rooks fatten and bring in Steven Johnson in a couple of weeks. Gray a week or so after him and I'll be done.

lostlarrikin · 16/06/2014 at 00:50
Hiatus I take.
Ambrose, Shenton and Langdon still doing the business.

Morse · 16/06/2014 at 21:55
I agree Davo, have 12 trades left myself with only 2 more premos to fill but getting 70's and 80's out of my F6 and D6 and one of those trades was used on Watson's bung hip….
I'll hold for a few weeks as I am 1st in 3 of 4 leagues and 2nd in the other.
So plan will be to do as Crouching one does, sit low for few weeks and then pounce with high jump fly kick on my opponents BANG BANG….

SCaddict · 16/06/2014 at 03:14
Like the first trade better than the second but reckon you would get more value with Martin as an F6/F7 than as an R3, though that could work too I suppose.
Then you could cash out Derickx (assuming he's your R3) for a cheap ruck DPP to complete a swing set, if you don't already have one. May cost an extra trade potentially but that would be the optimal set-up for mine.
The Miles trade looks too risky at this stage of the season despite his solid numbers. Griffiths, McDonut and Lloyd have all been tried and then dropped as Dimma continues to search for answers. The Tiges are a team in flux and who knows what the next changes will be.
Think you are better off waiting for Honeychurch or Morabito to get their opportunities.

Matt · 15/06/2014 at 22:58
I'd go with Robbie Gray

The Garbo · 15/06/2014 at 22:55
Hold Jaensch for now.

Luck of the Irish · 16/06/2014 at 00:29
I feel you can hold Jaensch for longer than you think, remember his 38 drops out this week and so his breakeven will plummet. Also, there is no reason to suggest he can't average those numbers again like he was the start of the season, yes the opposition has found him out but should come back strong. Remember, only 3 games ago he scored 128 and people were bringing him in, so give him another chance I reckon.

SCaddict · 16/06/2014 at 03:04
Yeah if I can hold Cotch for the past 13 rounds ((and goodness knows why I have!) then you can save a trade and hold Jaensch at least whilst you have this easy run.
He's a better player than he's been showing lately and worth another few weeks I'd say. if you can get through those 3 weeks with no significant injuries then maybe you can look at doing something, assuming you still want to get rid of him at that point.
But he may surprise you with one or two decent scores before then.

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 13:20
Also looking to grab Ablett is a great idea. The best time to do it was way back preseason

The Garbo · 15/06/2014 at 22:54
One other thought is Polec and Crouch to Fyfe and morabitio or Honeychurch. Then next week MaCrae straight swap for Johnson

Peter · 16/06/2014 at 06:56
What is wrong with macrae? He has been very good!

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 13:18
I've been stoked with MaCrae all season. But I feel that I need my mids filled with players who have a higher SC ceiling. Especially come finals.

Lukey · 16/06/2014 at 03:01
Mate I reckon Higgins to Wingard might be your best option!!!!

SCaddict · 16/06/2014 at 03:41
You could also look at going from Higgins down to Stef Martin which would make you a fair chunk of change for upgrades elsewhere and potentially grant you ruck cover if you can create a swing set.
Anyway that's what I did last week and feeling pretty good about the move right now.
Would hang on to as many of those rookies as you can until solid downgrade options present. I realise that is not always achievable in order to realise full premium status but you really want to avoid giving up too much decent bench cover where possible.

wes · 16/06/2014 at 12:04
Hi Matt
I have regrets keeping him this long 🙂
I trade him out for martin too… just as scaddict said below. then again he would be feeling good about it this week.
for me though, bit of extra cash in the bank, plus his extra points scoring ability this week makes him a reasonable option. Higgins just not scoring as he was and is costing us $$ and therefore options.

peter pan artichoke · 16/06/2014 at 10:58
fifa style mate i like it.

Captain Obvious · 16/06/2014 at 11:40
My thoughts are you have way too much time on your hands!

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 13:15
Martin should be pretty safe to play out the season if his hammys hold up. West was sharing the ruck load with looey so martin should have the same opportunity. But just dont expect Martin to score well like he has upon looeys return

jockreynolds · 18/06/2014 at 20:47
Thank you very much Matt for your kind comment mate. Absolutely rapt to hear that you're enjoying the community, the podcasts and also pumped that you're rising in the rankings.
Jock

john snow · 16/06/2014 at 00:26
Just omitted Steve

arthur castles · 17/06/2014 at 09:21
Should Never have been dropped!!!!!!!

john snow · 16/06/2014 at 00:28
Could be a better option than the crap Reiwoldt is dishing up week after week at a slightly higher price

arthur castlrs · 17/06/2014 at 09:23
I am dumping Reiwoldt asap,maybe for Mopper!!!!!!

Azmataz · 16/06/2014 at 05:32
I would pick Gray if you can afford it. He is a machine this year.

Derek · 16/06/2014 at 11:41
if you believe you will be in your league finals, I would now turn attention to players who have an easy run for the finals
Port play Swans in first week of SC finals and Freo in the SC GF.

Mathew · 16/06/2014 at 12:32
Would you pick boomer over gray on that thought derek?
Last 4 games GWS Dogs Crows (hobart) and Melbourne

James Sykes · 17/06/2014 at 09:51
boomer over gray

RoganJ · 16/06/2014 at 20:45
I've had Wingard all year and don't rate him. Wish I had avoided him in the beginning and surprised that he is getting that much attention. Maybe he's burnt me too many times this year (10 points in 3/4 before being knocked out!) but when I look through the forward options there aren't too many there. Gray for mine, then boomer. Surely the old man can't keep pumping out the scores can he?

Luck of the Irish · 17/06/2014 at 00:36
Alright, love the discussion fellas. I guess we can conclude that Gray/Boomer is the man you want, with Wingard maybe the man you need if strapped for cash. Will most likely grab Gray, but Chad does still represent some serious value. Cheers guys.

James Sykes · 17/06/2014 at 09:50
Hey Irish.
If money allows, at this time of year you always go for the top 3 option on a given line whenever possible……we have seen enough form guide to know that they are rolled gold.
You can almost bet that the person you play in the finals will have Robbie Gray and you dont want to be putting up Chad against that. Robbie must have covered Chad 9 out of 10 times this year?

Luck of the Irish · 17/06/2014 at 10:47
Thanks James, yeah I'm definitely going to grab Gray over Wingard by changing my trading plan a little, so will most likely grab him in 1 or 2 weeks time. Whilst Wingard is definitely as very suitable F6, trading in Gray can mean that he becomes your F1-F3, and is almost like adding another midfielder to your line up. And who doesn't love that Midfield output 😉

Garglesnarf FC · 16/06/2014 at 09:40
Option 2.

throttlefinger · 16/06/2014 at 10:05
Your wisdom and brevity are appreciated, Gargle!

Garglesnarf FC · 16/06/2014 at 10:33
Sorry Throttle, like my advice last week, I prefer $$$ on the field not on the pine.

ThrottleFinger · 16/06/2014 at 10:48
Remember it well. And thanks is sincere.

Wattsieesq · 16/06/2014 at 10:54
Hey TF. I'm looking to complete my team before getting in bench cover. My bench is shot, but there is no point having 400k on there if other lines are in trouble and not giving you the points you need.

Derek · 16/06/2014 at 11:35
My bench is a disaster (Aylett, georgio, Hartung, Acres, Currie, Archie, JKH, Ambrose). As a result had two donuts this week with Beams & StevieJ late outs. Hope this won't happen again.

throttlefinger · 16/06/2014 at 13:39
Very true, Wattsie. Very true. Thanks, my man.

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 13:07
If i remember correctly your trades have dwindled right down to single digits?
So definitely complete the mid. Theyre the players that can pump huge scores and get the upset wins you need to make finals it sounds like. Bench coverage in a luxury you cant afford atm.
[Assuming your SC team is called "throttlefinger"]
You still have Billings Shenton Langdon on the field among other issues.
So I would avoid any player over 550k and look for value to get the most outve your remaining trades. (like: Both Swallows, Nath Jones, Johnson, Ebert, HEPPELL, Parker, Dahlhaus etc)
Also maybe you should cash in on one of your rucks soon to fill the coffers (sandi BE96, mummy BE91, nicnat [BE25])

throttlefinger · 16/06/2014 at 13:44
Hey Garbo. Yes, that's my (de)delightful team.
Billings needs to go. And I think they popular call is to complete the mids makes the most sense. Shenton and Langdon I can ride a bit longer. Or they may be my Terliches this year.
Really appreciate your and everyone's insights. Is a lesson that I should've bounced more ideas off the community than acted alone. Lots of stupid, rash trades this season.
Thanks again, Garbo. You're the tits!

James Sykes · 17/06/2014 at 09:44
go for the strength on field matty……I'm sure there will be no unexpected late outs that could derail our plans.
Go Boomer mate.

throttlefinger · 17/06/2014 at 10:25
Definitely leaning Boomer. Even in loss looked stellar. With the Roos easy run and tenuous place in the finals hunt I’ll expect his scores to continue to be 110+.
Thanks Jimbo!

The Mullet · 16/06/2014 at 11:48
I spent a heap of $$ on Rockliff and made him captain….grrrrr

Garglesnarf FC · 16/06/2014 at 12:20
I feel your pain. I brought in Ward and was going to put the C on him, but went with original plan and put it on Rocky. Fortunately it didn’t cost me any wins.
Wards 122 and McGoverns 146 did make me smile however!

Itchy Nuts Pieman · 16/06/2014 at 13:43
McLovin's 146 Majestic. Wish I'd got on that train. In my main league I got knocked over by 15 points. Opponent traded Watson to Goddard last minute. Shattered. Now 8th in the league & ranked 904. Tough League!

Kev · 16/06/2014 at 11:53
He's a bit immune to the "tough run home" reasoning, Marcus. He's the best player in the comp/SC for a reason. Come finals time, if your opponent has him cap and you don't have him at all, it could make all the difference

john snow · 16/06/2014 at 12:10
you are never better off without gary

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 12:36
Cant believe you've waited this long to get Gary just to save 20k… You must have a big pair!
Also Gary has had a tough run every game with gold coast since the 2011 season. Yet he still averaged around the 130 mark each season. He is THE best supercoach player in the comp. Silly not to have him.
Another way to look at it is, any player you upgrade to gaz (bar pendles or jpk) you will essentially gain a minimum of 20pts on your avg whilst giving you a perma cpt. And chances are you wont trading a rockliff type player for him. So im guessing you will gain more along the lines of +40 pts on your avg

Marcus · 16/06/2014 at 12:40
thanks lads, needed someone to tell me i was crazy. would have upgraded mitchell to a JPK but ill stick with the plan to go with gary.

Ryan · 16/06/2014 at 19:19
My question would be who are you trading out for Ablett? As said above it could be a player averaging 40odd points less a match, however if you don't bring Ablett in and focus on upgrading the forward line, and you upgrade fasolo(who isn't even playing) to a gray or Harvey, you're essentially making a larger points gain, than upgrading to Ablett. Call me crazy but I would look to upgrade forward line first, with Charlie Cameron not playing and Ambrose scoring 4 points in the entire second half shows how dangerous it could be leaving your forward line as is. Bring in a Harvey or gray gives a possible 70-80 point round gain if Fasolo is out and Ambrose plays poorly.

James Sykes · 17/06/2014 at 09:42
wisdom…..next year make sure you start with Gary……and probably pendles while you are at it. clearly the best two supercoach players going around.

Itchy Nuts Pieman · 16/06/2014 at 14:37
Great work Big Ben. The boy's have taken me from a spud to top 1000. Good luk in your rise to Glory!

Big Ben · 16/06/2014 at 19:24
Good work you little legend, stick together and the community will drag us over the line

Big Ben · 16/06/2014 at 19:25
I bloody love the pieman inspiration, many a time I have heeded your advice mate. I bloody love ya

Itchy Nuts Pieman · 16/06/2014 at 20:40
Cheers Big Ben, Love this community. So many great minds!

wes · 16/06/2014 at 12:07
In a word – Shenton
In more than 1 word… People will comment about Derickx job security. So perhaps that is an issue. til that is confirmed, I'd prefer Shenton out of my team to Derickx

Garglesnarf FC · 16/06/2014 at 12:17
Fitzy I have a similar issue. Like Wes I reckon Shenton is the better trade out option, although in my case Ambrose might be even better.

Fitzy · 16/06/2014 at 14:15
Thanks guys

glen20 · 16/06/2014 at 14:51
i'd still be careful bringing shenton in now. i reckon his JS could be just about shot with gwilt coming through the magoos on the weekend and picking up 22 touches and featuring amongst the best. shenton plays an identical role to gwilt.
if you've already got him, could be time to cull the cow!

SCaddict · 16/06/2014 at 17:33
I think everyone is talking about whether to trade Shenton out. It's certainly too late to bring him in now.

Itchy Nuts Pieman · 16/06/2014 at 14:38
As long as your not rubbing one out that's prefectly accepable.

john snow · 16/06/2014 at 12:17
Yeh I'm thinking Derrickx to Archie Smith. If Martin goes down he would be next in line I'm thinking.
Are there any other bargain basement rucks that could potentially get game time. Lowden maybe but he would need Hale and Mcevoy to be out.

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 18:16
Swallow is under 500k and will take another price drop and 8 tons is hard to ignore.
And bar McV the other three your looking at arent really too much better then what you have to justify a trade

Black Mumba · 16/06/2014 at 12:33
Check our crystal ball shall we….?wtf

Matt · 16/06/2014 at 12:36
Your guess is as good as any…. no one knows

Mathew · 16/06/2014 at 12:38
Think both likely to play soon but my guess would be honeychurch will have better job security
I think morabito will come in when players are being rested and he will be the back up but it really depends where they land on the lader come our finals time if they really will rest players.
This is just my opinion, he might come in this week and play all season but I have and i think alot of others have been waiting for honeychurch all season he produced the goods this week in the 2s and i think he will come in and fit in very nicely
Good luck with whichever way you go

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 17:55
cheers mathew

Itchy Nuts Pieman · 16/06/2014 at 13:49
If Morobito comes in he has massive vest risk attached to his name. Same could be said for Honeychurch. Although Gia takes it most weeks. I'd say wait & see with both. Wouldn't bring them in yet unless it's a non playing player strategy.

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 18:01
Cheers! Was just searching around for extra cash to grab a Fyfe type player. And only real player on the bubble is Miles – But a bit to pricey for my liking.
So am tempted to take a punt on honey or morabito

Big Ben · 16/06/2014 at 19:48
Honeychurch mate, can't trust morobitos injuries

RoganJ · 16/06/2014 at 20:52
Honeychurch for his swing option?

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 23:30
Honeychurchs debut could be delayed with him heading to the tribunal for a front on bump in the vfl after he had a nice 5 goal haul

Derek · 16/06/2014 at 13:18
Martin is in the best 6 forwards

Mathew · 16/06/2014 at 13:36
Thanks derek I have been looking a little at him aswell. Im in a situation where I can choose whoever i want (most people wish for) yet struggling with it lol. Sitting first at the moment so hoping to pick up the best forward i can to lock in

Itchy Nuts Pieman · 16/06/2014 at 13:58
Thumper Kolodjashij is leeking cash. Time to go. Your a bit light for juciy cash cow downgrades. Taylor & Shenton still have money to be made. Your going to have to make a tough call. Personally I'd turn Shenton into Stefan Martin & use your 110K into turning Thumper into best available defender.

SCaddict · 16/06/2014 at 17:26
INP is on the money here though looks like you already have Stef unless that's Dusty in your lineup there.
KK's time is up as he's leaking cash now and the Suns have a killer draw over the next 3. I'm upgrading him to Malceski this week myself.
He's been a fantastic cash cow but like Higgins his time to face the chopping block has arrived.

Itchy Nuts Pieman · 16/06/2014 at 14:09
Stefan Martin has presented us with a nice headache we didn't see coming a few weeks ago. Personally not a fan of Sandi to Goldy. Sideways more than anything. Having said that Sandi will probably get rested, which will mean to avoid a donut you either trade him or a bench player for a R/FWD rookie & sub in Martin. He's too expensive & has too much scoring potential to sit on your ruck bench. So I think (if you can) spending the rookie ruck trade at some point is a good trade. When your running low on bullets you have to make them count!

Big Ben · 16/06/2014 at 20:12
Agree with the pieman on this one champ

dognino · 16/06/2014 at 14:43
I have the exact same rucks as you, I'm planning on holding sandi until he actually gets rested. If it's before SC finals, I'll cop a donut, if it's during finals, that is when I'll trade him out.
P.s. Going for league wins only.

The Mullet · 16/06/2014 at 14:48
Thanks for the replies. Both are good food for thought.

Pat · 16/06/2014 at 14:54
Reckon sandi will have a day out against martin on the weekend!

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 22:25
Martin loses a bit of appeal since you dont have thurlow to swing him if needed.
BUT you should only see Martin as cash generation. His good scores will cease in 4-5 weeks once looey returns. But he will keep playing rest of season if hammy holds out. Will share the ruck load with looey

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 22:25
And trading Sandi is a bad move. Hes the number one ruck in my opinion.

Shaved Ham · 16/06/2014 at 22:57
Unsavory.
Very low on the arousal curve

@TG_Footy_Tragic · 17/06/2014 at 11:34
Shaved ham, it was an obvious joke mate.
I have nothing against homosexuals.
society in general need to lighten up…
Too easily offended. geez

Cam_H · 18/06/2014 at 12:57
Magoos,
With only 7 trades, if I were you I'd hold off any further unless your team has an on-field regular go down with a serious injury, or your team is in a position when you can't get a full complement on the field and aren't likely to in weeks to come due to a combination of injured and otherwise non-selected players.
With that said, if you're struggling at the bottom of your League and may indeed miss the finals, then maybe you can 'roll the dice' and make speculative trades now knowing that you might have little insurance for the rest of the year. Something like Sandilands to Nic Nat will net you $100K for some breathing room if you do need to later upgrade say your prospective F6 when Lewis Taylor / Patrick Ambrose / Sam Lloyd tops off in appreciation.
Best of luck with whatever you choose!

Porcelain · 16/06/2014 at 16:08
Think I heard on the radio he was played forward.
Had him in my team and thought he was heading for a big score after 2 goals in first quarter.

peter · 16/06/2014 at 17:45
The coaches way of resting him?

MightyDonsFC · 16/06/2014 at 19:07
Sore from last week heroics

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 22:15
Watched the game, he did spend most time up fwd but still kept going in the mids and didn't seem to attack the ball as hard as he normally does. But I believe he was playing sore as there was a lot of talk about him being a late out.

James Sykes · 17/06/2014 at 09:14
extra attention with Stevie J being out didnt help.

Garglesnarf FC · 16/06/2014 at 17:24
Hi sc

scano · 16/06/2014 at 18:20
yo! hahahaha

GarglesnarfFC · 16/06/2014 at 17:28
Why are you upgrading Shenton first instead of Watson? Shenton is great cover while Watson is deadwood, surely Watto must go first?

scano · 16/06/2014 at 18:22
yeah, just thought about maybe bringing in Fyfe for Watto and get JPK next week for shenton? Thoughts?

GarglesnarfFC · 16/06/2014 at 19:30
Watto out first, wether that's for JPK or Fyfe. If JPK is your first target then Watto for him, do Shenton to Fyfe next week, as Shenton he will still go up a few $$$ this week, more if he scores 80+.

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 22:13
Look to trade Johnson and Watson this week. Your cover is lacking and you have at least 4 more rounds without Johnson, more without Jobe. And you should still be able bring in JPK and Malceski if there the players you like. Then you can trade shenton and langdon next week. there BE is 50 and 87. So Shenton should still rise and Langdon may only lose a 5k if he does drop.

scano · 17/06/2014 at 08:26
Not getting rid of Johnson. Don’t have the trades :/

Dean · 16/06/2014 at 23:00
I like your side mate. Firstly I would definitely stick with getting Malceski in as his break even is around 113 which he is likely to score.
Secondly what ever you do hold of trading Shenton until next week. If you can trade out Shenton for JPK next week, the reason being JPK break even is 151 so he will drop in price and Shenton break even is only 50 so he should go up in price.
Lastly seriously consider allot of thinking about FYFE, I like him but am petrified due to Ross Lions, there is a high likely-hood that he will rest many of his elite players starting this week as they play Brisbane, West Coast, Melbourne, Greater Western Sydney, Saints and Carlton in the next 6 weeks, that's a lotto draw into the finals. Think about Libba, Ward and Rockliff before Fyfe.
Good luck.

scano · 17/06/2014 at 15:35
cheers boys

Cam_H · 16/06/2014 at 17:05
Tom,
Personally, with 8 trades left I'd try to hold off further trading unless you can't field a full team or a premium gets a long term injury. The one I'd personally most likely consider if any would be Sam Lloyd to Stefan Martin if Lloyd isn't selected again, but again, I'd hold.
Best of luck with whatever you choose.

Tom · 16/06/2014 at 17:14
Yeah I'm 7th on the ladder and Im versing the guy who is 13th so I was thinking of just saving them. i was wanting to go maybe langdon to maleceski but I can't see where the money will be coming from

Cam_H · 16/06/2014 at 17:59
Tom,
Langton to Malceski (-$153) can be done with Tom Derickx down to a cheap ruck such as Luke Lowden (+$189) (there are cheaper still) but leaves you most likely without bench coverage if there's a problem with Sandilands or Mumford. I think that this is a workable but quite costly approach in that it'll be just about the last trades that you can make if you're wanting to go into finals with 6 up your sleeve. Your call, but I would just stick with what you've got and reassess regularly.
Again – best of luck.

Tom · 16/06/2014 at 18:00
cheers i think i'll just hold my trades

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 17:20
Hanley

Big Ben · 16/06/2014 at 19:50
Hanley mate

Tom · 16/06/2014 at 16:55
Luke shuey

MightyDonsFC · 16/06/2014 at 18:45
Had him at the start of the season expecting a breakout year, still recovering from some burns he caused me

SCaddict · 16/06/2014 at 17:17
Monty is very good value right now and probably the best pick of that lot. Only thing is that he and his Saints are really struggling at the minute so very doubtful indeed he will finish a top 12 mid.
Most coaches are bringing in a Stevie J or Barlow type to complete their midfield but if your means are limited then I guess he could make a respectable M8. A.Swallow is another worth looking at for that sort of money.

MightyDonsFC · 16/06/2014 at 18:48
Only want to use one trade and want to get mitchell out this week. Joey the front runner but I like a POD whether or not it puts me ahead of the competition no one knows

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 17:51
If you can manage to scrounge an extra 10k you can look at Cotchin/Swan/Swallow.
Under 463 though
Can look at:
Delidio (avg +100 for the past 6 seasons), but down on form atm along with Richmond.
Jackson – bar injury game he avgs 106. Subject to fitness test though
Bit left field But Curnow (avg a ton), was looking really good even though he was tagging. A lot of tackles and still showed he can rack up 20-30disposals (no judd though). Subject to fitness test as well.
And as mentioned already Montag and Shuey would be the other two I would look at.
Montag avg 100. last 4 games hes played gee port coll gcs and played poorly for sc. But seeing a big 144 vs hawks shows he can pump out the numbers even with the team getting smashed and has avgd over 97 since 2007

MightyDonsFC · 16/06/2014 at 18:41
Don't like how lids crumbles under a tag, afraid of jackson and curnow having to tag the opposition. For me it's between Joey, Duncan, Mackay and Dahlhaus via DPP.

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 21:55
Curnow has been the primary tagger in every game hes played and still 4 outve 5 good SC games.
Jackson from what I've seen seems to have been given more freedom instead of having to play tagger and is benefiting from the drop in form from cotchin and lids.
Outve the 4 your now thinking of. I would go:
1. Montag 2. Dahl 3. Duncan 4. Mackay

James Sykes · 17/06/2014 at 09:12
Mate, would it be worth holding another week and using another trade next week and getting a better quality mid then……
might be a better long term move especially come finals? (just a thought)

MightyDonsFC · 17/06/2014 at 16:16
Massive games this week in 4 of my leagues, decided I'll pull the pin if kane mitchell is made sub

SCaddict · 16/06/2014 at 18:06
Think it will be a very common trade this week so you will have plenty of company whether it be right or wrong.
I did this trade last week so yes I think it's a good move obviously, though it won't suit everyone.

Big Ben · 16/06/2014 at 19:52
Not. If on the Martin trade to be honest. Leunhamburger will come back in less than a month boys and you'll have a non playing 300k ruck/fwd on the bench and that is if he doesn't do his hameys in the mean time.

throttlefinger · 16/06/2014 at 20:36
Think that would be a wise trade. And reward you for picking Higgins, whose form is going slightly down.
Martin will be around until round 19-20. And if his form continues, can't see him being dropped, especially on the a developing side like the Lions. Luey will need spells so he may be worth the jump…but less for points and more as a solid cash in for Higgins.

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 21:47
Martin should play all season if his hammys hold up (done his hammy three times since november doesnt inspire confidence though). West was getting games with looey and I dont see that changing especially if Martin keeps up his performance.
BUT once looey is back his scores will take a decent hit. So I would only be getting him knowing he's not going to be a keeper but is there just to make money with good output for the next 4-6 weeks.
But yes Higgins to Martin could be a very good trade if you plan ahead

SCaddict · 16/06/2014 at 18:10
Yeah they are the main ones to look at for that price point. Hibberd is the other one to consider if you can look past the ASADA stuff and how much that may be weighing on the players.

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 21:13
Not a fan of Heath Shaw. But at your price range now pickings are a slim for guarantee picks atm. Making him a decent pick.
Though Mackie would most likely be my defender of choice

Gab · 16/06/2014 at 21:25
what about hanley, nice 133 this week

Derek · 16/06/2014 at 19:32
Aylett is on the bubble. Not sure when he will get a game. After last weekend, might see a few changes at Essedon

Big Ben · 16/06/2014 at 19:53
Not a lot of back line down grades at the moment chief, think carefully if you need to pull the trigger…

scano · 16/06/2014 at 18:27
Depends if you want them for bench cover or not
they all have low BE

MightyDonsFC · 16/06/2014 at 18:49
I'd keep them all for the time being

Big Ben · 16/06/2014 at 19:56
All 3 will get plenty of game time, keep Shenton as he will play a ton and has the fwd swing.
I've got second coming Shenton in my midfield bench and Ambrose on my fwd bench
Big lewy T is also a good option

RoganJ · 16/06/2014 at 21:07
I jumped on tonight with the same question. Got all three, not sure who will be the first to go. LT was my plan before last week and he bangs out 100. He seems to have ok job security too with dpp. Would like him as bench cover for a few more weeks yet. Shenton and Ambrose have good JS and solid 60-75 points. That being said, Ambrose will go if he can get a few more $ up also because I would like a swing in the mids on the bench. Not sure if that helps because I don't know myself!

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 21:40
If you have too, then Shenton purely because of the BEs.
Shen (50) Ambrose (18) Taylor (15)

Big Ben · 16/06/2014 at 19:57
Dahlaus mate, but not keen on any of them tbh

Cam_H · 16/06/2014 at 20:11
In any other year, Montagna.
Dahlhaus if you can live with he inconsistency.

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 21:36
Montag or Dahl

MightyDonsFC · 16/06/2014 at 19:01
Dahlhaus, Zorko and Mcglynn

Ryan · 16/06/2014 at 19:22
Zorko

GarglesnarfFC · 16/06/2014 at 19:33
Zorko, SMartin. McGlynns out of or a few isn't he?

SCaddict · 16/06/2014 at 19:49
This could be the last week Buddy is sub $500K for a while. Swans have a bunch of spud to semi-spud opponents coming up so the potential for huge scores is definitely there.
Has averaged 113 over the past 4 weeks yet folks are still avoiding him like the plague.
Buddy is back people even if Jock doesn't want to admit it publicly ha ha.

throttlefinger · 16/06/2014 at 20:34
Buddy or Zorko. Both will give a bit of a headache yet form seems to be rising on both's game.

SCaddict · 16/06/2014 at 20:54
Yeah Buddy has a slightly better average than Gray over the past month although Gray has been unbelievable all season of course.
Zorko has also been tremendous averaging 107 over the past 3 so all these guys are in ripping form of late.
There's a significant price differential between all 3 which obviously will impact individual coaches decisions. Like the Swans SC finals draw compared to the Lions as another element to factor in there.

throttlefinger · 16/06/2014 at 21:10
Because Buddy has a bit more support, he's definitely the sexier option. Think that appeal goes away after he hits $500K. Also, he's been known for the occasional brainfart that draws the MRP's ire.
Not one that stands out truly. As you said, all 3 will have impact.

FootyFanatic · 17/06/2014 at 17:17
Thanks for the help guys, I will go with buddy I reckon, he has been in some great form and can pull out some huge scores!

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 21:34
11. Tempted to do two trades though this week….. Just because no real downgrade players bar miles and martin and no others even getting close yet

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 21:32
Not many options to downgrade him too atm… But as long as your D7 is playing you can just pick up a dirt cheap player and hope theyd get a game but no stress if they dont.

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 21:29
Im toying with the idea to bring martin in as well, as my F6, till closer to finals and use for ruck cover as well if needed. But wont be a keeper – Should make 100k min though and provide some solid scores till looey gets back in 4-6 weeks.
Fasolo [be75] or Tutt [be27] would be on the block if it was me.
Fasolo would most likely be the one I'd trade out just because of breakevens

James Sykes · 17/06/2014 at 09:05
Fasolo is the obvious target here mate….especially if not named…..
even if named Fasolo has become very inconsistent for an onfield forward. you might be able to get away with him on the bench but I would cash him in with your structure.

Canardly See · 17/06/2014 at 20:56
Cheers James and The Garbo. All reports are Fasolo might be out for a few weeks, so probably logical choice to pull the trigger.

The Garbo · 16/06/2014 at 21:16
Ambrose still has money to make with a BE of 18

SCaddict · 17/06/2014 at 00:16
Teen Wolf, Sloane, Stevie J, Barlow and Jack would be among my targets for a blue ribbon mid. Rocky should be lower than that threshold in another week too.

James Sykes · 17/06/2014 at 09:02
barlow on current form for me…….

Wattsieesq · 17/06/2014 at 00:30
Sloane

Bruce · 17/06/2014 at 01:34
Trade Cotch to S Martin re sub Gray/Zorko etc to mid (frees cash and open swing set with Thurlow in ruck). Look to Bartel as def upgrade when Shenton peaks.

SCaddict · 17/06/2014 at 00:21
He's crazy cheap right now. But just like Monty or Stevens it's hard to get too excited by Saints stars when their side is getting belted from pillar to post week in week out.
Tough to see NRoo being a top 10 forward for the last 9 rounds of the season unless the Saints can find some competitiveness and get the ball up forward more frequently. Hasn't come close to tonning up in nearly 2 months!
Could prove to be a master stroke to bring in the ageing champ but think few will be brave or foolhardy enough to go down that road given how he and his Saints are tracking atm.

James Sykes · 17/06/2014 at 08:59
NRoo, Drew, Trav, westoff, jack, ……pretty much any key forward…..
Seem to be returning one good score out of 3…….not inconsistent enough…..
if I was going to pick a key forward it would be roughy as he seems to have some bigger scores in him (and more supply)

The Mullet · 17/06/2014 at 12:55
I think the point about supply is crucial. I ran my eye over KPFs a few weeks back and got on Buddy. I didn't have the aggots to grab Trav as well. Both of these guys have quality midfields who can deliver the ball laces out. I believed that sooner or later they would turn it around. Although I think Nroo is a great player, he isn't in the same situation. He only gets points at all because he covers so much ground to find the ball and is so good 1 on 1. The Saints trying out all their kids won't help him either.

James · 17/06/2014 at 07:18
Yes

Garglesnarf FC · 17/06/2014 at 09:07
Has shown us nothing recently to indicate he is even worth considering. He is a hold if you are stuck with him (like me) but until he cranks out a solid 95+ he should be avoided.

James · 17/06/2014 at 07:25
Beams, Kennedy

Kev · 17/06/2014 at 21:36
Libba, Ward

StevenDank · 17/06/2014 at 23:04
For me to provide that advice would be like me giving you my customer list!

James Sykes · 17/06/2014 at 08:55
even though he hasnt played a game I think Kersten will get an extended run in the Geelong team as the second lead up forward.
otherwise we are looking at dust….honeychurch is another week away, fuller and schaeberg must be getting close up back as must Morabito in the mids………(cue tumble weeds)

James Sykes · 17/06/2014 at 08:50
might be a little inconsistent down the stretch.
depends if you are trying to make up a gap or hold your top 4 spot. If you are in the top spot I would pay the extra for a someone in the top 10 defenders that you dont have provided money is OK.
Dunne is doing OK but he wont average 100 for the rest of the year

BCHawks · 17/06/2014 at 07:55
Because most people already have him

James Sykes · 17/06/2014 at 08:46
agreed. 2 weeks ago he was $430k. Still is likely to finish top 6 defenders especially with jaensch and d swallow on the down curve.
i would still try to get him Blake.

Blake · 17/06/2014 at 15:25
I picked him up 2 weeks ago, I am recommending him to anyone that doesn't have him.

BCHawks · 17/06/2014 at 13:23
Go with Pendles the second gest player IMO

Benjun · 17/06/2014 at 11:45
not a fan of morabito if he eventually comes in, primed to be a sub (if sylvia is, morabito has to be)

BCHawks · 17/06/2014 at 14:40
After reading that article on the AFL website I definitely will be holding him for the rest of the season

SCaddict · 17/06/2014 at 14:43
I realise everyone is starved for cash sources right now with the lack of new viable rookies but reckon it would be just like cashing out Gaz or Pendles. Just don't think it would be smart Supercoaching.

BCHawks · 17/06/2014 at 14:59
I agree if people are so in need of cash then they should look to downgrade one of their out of form premiums not one that is the 5th highest scorer, but even then I would be hesitant to downgrade a premium and would only do it if there was no other option.

@lk_neate · 17/06/2014 at 20:21
traded Sandi for Nic Nat 3 weeks ago and it gave me 170k. Since i have had him nic nat has found some form and average more the Sandi. Was desperate for cash and i was plan on getting Sandi back in at the end of the year. So far best trade i have made.

Gab · 17/06/2014 at 17:53
lock in b eddie

Jonts · 17/06/2014 at 17:21
You want to get as much scoring potential in your midfield as possible. I'm not quite sure how much money you have but it would be wise to spend extra on a premium that is A) inform and B)not injury prone

SCaddict · 17/06/2014 at 18:01
Hard to say as they all have their pros and cons. If forced to place a wager out of that lot I would probably go Monty or A.Swallow for top scorer from here but it's guess work at best. If a DPP could benefit you in the middle then both D.Swallow and Zorko should be looked at.
Just realise these really are bargain basement M8s and many of your opponents are likely to have better ones in the finals. For example I'm looking at bringing in either Rocky or Stevie J as my final mid for a line that reads GAJ, Pendles, JPK, Libba, Jelwood, Beams, Danger and Rocky/Stevie J.

Kev · 17/06/2014 at 21:29
Not many options at that price. O'Brien is the only one I can think of. Three vests on the trot makes you think his JS isn't rock solid at the moment

Ricky · 17/06/2014 at 18:25
Sorry i meant 6th forward not m6

Kev · 17/06/2014 at 21:27
Neither. I'd look at trying to get more cash so you can upgrade him to a full premo. Ambrose has a b.e of 19 this week so still cash to be made.

Kev · 17/06/2014 at 21:23
Assuming martin will be on the field, you'll just be trading him out again to reach full premium status. From a points gained perspective, you aren't gaining much. I'd just stick with tex

Zac Dawson 3 Votes · 17/06/2014 at 19:30
What about going lloyd to honeychurch to free up some cash? I think he will get a game soon.

Kev · 17/06/2014 at 21:17
Why bother really? Lloyd's price isn't moving, and we haven't seen HC yet. Until you need the cash hold off on making such moves.
I wouldn't be trading this week

James · 18/06/2014 at 07:21
Cheers Kev

Wattsieesq · 17/06/2014 at 20:14
I think your forward line needs to be addressed. There are rookie forwards downgrade targets coming through in the coming weeks (eg Honeychurch, Kersten) but aren't on the bubble this week. Your forward rookies all have low BE. Your only rookie that my lose cash is Langdon. You could have traded him for Hanley last week but that ship has sailed. You have Enright, Watts, and Lumumba as options. All have their pros and cons.
If I were you, I'd probably hold.

Glorin · 17/06/2014 at 21:04
Hanley to langdon was the trade I held off on last week.! Big regrets, but move on to the next one.
Think I will hold, unless a rookie back shows up.
Cheers

Glorin · 17/06/2014 at 21:07
Would you consider dunn? Putting up some good numbers week on week.

jockreynolds · 18/06/2014 at 20:44
Malceski

Clarko · 17/06/2014 at 21:35
Jpk i reckon while sydmey are flying

throttlefinger · 17/06/2014 at 22:24
Hey Clarko. Zorko. Rioli, while dynamic, is injury prone, as he's proven. Big risk.
And while Zorko can go big or suck eggs, he's very durable. Plus I think his form is picking up.

Greybeard · 17/06/2014 at 22:50
Cyril whilst brilliant and capable of winning a game in 10-minutes is also very fragile. However without a circa 2012-13 bombers vitamin plan he is going to break 2-3 times a season.

WombatsFC · 17/06/2014 at 23:12
Frying Pan or Fire?

Hey Donavan. You may be chasing points a bit with McGovern. May be worth holding on to your one trade. Wait until Shenton or Ambrose gets to plucking value and complete your F6 for Parker or whomever you think tasty.
You have Hartung and Acres, both players coming back in 4-5 weeks and will be good bench cover. Acres is a foot injury so he may not hit the track again as hard as Hartung (elbow). Think those are worth holding out for.
I've made the mistake of ditching covers too quickly. As Impey has demonstrated, it may be worth keeping them on the bench if they are always on the field.
Hope this helps, my man.

Donavan · 17/06/2014 at 23:24
Thank TF
I am actually chasing bench coverage (got caught last week with Beams withdrawal) and no MID bench coverage. Also think that McGovern's price rise will help me get to full premo a little faster, plus Hartung price will take a while to appreciate due to that score of 5 in his last match. Also not sure about Hartung's JS as many others ar returning to Hawthorn team in next few weeks.

All fair points my man. Best of luck this round, D.

Hartung to McG was the right trade l/week. This week I'd go Derrix to Stefan Martian and Lloyd to thurlow. It will open up some loophole flixibility and give quality bench cover on both ruck and fwd line. Use the cash you make to to turn Shenton or Anbrose into Stevie J or Swan n/w.

Hi Mother Theresa,
He's considering Hartung to McG this week; given your current state of health I forgive you this oversight.
I do applaud you strategy re Derrikx though.

Donavan · 17/06/2014 at 23:33
Thanks Cheating,
Traded in Hanley & Zorko last week, but your right in hind-sight McGovern would have been a good inclusion. McG still has plenty to appreciate over the next 2-3 weeks. I dont like S.Martin, just dont trust his output, so prefer not to burn 2 trades when my ruck is set (with Derickx as cover).
I do intend to use Shenton, Ambrose, Tippet, McGovern to upgrade to the likes of Steve J, S.Mitchell in coming rounds. Just needs those cows to fatten-up.

Greybeard · 17/06/2014 at 23:02
Turn langdon into McVeigh – Cotchin to Libba – Shenton to Gray

WombatsFC · 17/06/2014 at 23:11
With that fwd line you'd be crazy not to get Stefan & thurlow for derricx and your any of your m5-8

Dutch Life · 17/06/2014 at 23:18
So what trades would recommend doing?
Cheers for the help

WombatsFC · 17/06/2014 at 23:36
Derrikx for Thurlow and Shenton or Ambrose for S.Martin. The cash you make will enable you to turn Cotchin and another into Premo the following week.
I reluctantly traded L.Taylor instead of Shenton last week. I reckon I shouldve kept Taylor.

Dutch Life · 17/06/2014 at 23:43
Cheera wombat.
Will do those trades then.
Yeah I was also about to trade out Taylorr last week but thought I should hold on him and last after last week I’ll be keeping him for a few more weeks.
Thanks mate, Any other thoughts or suggestions.?

Donavan · 17/06/2014 at 23:42
I would trade Langdon to a premo defender.
Shenton, Taylor, Ambrose, Cameron, O'Brien & Acres will all go up in value over the next few weeks, so hold out trading them as long as you can. Langdon has reached his peak.

Dutch Life · 17/06/2014 at 23:47
That is also another good idea.
Both of these are very good ideas haha

Donavan · 18/06/2014 at 00:01
Wombat,
I would keep Wines (he averages over 100), an focus on using the cash to upgrade the defence.
Hibberd is well priced, and apart from last week is consistent.

throttlefinger · 18/06/2014 at 00:11
My friend, Wombats. Forget back line. Complete your mid lines.
Bartel has the engine and his form has been impeccable. Also, be nice to have a DPP in your mids to give you a little extra padding, no?
Not feeling SJ or Swan. They will belt out the occasional 120+ sure. But SJ is an experienced player who STILL can't hold his temper from making bonehead MRP-salivating hits. Avoid. Swan just seems, well, meh. Comparatively to years past. Don't know if worth the cash.
All in all, I'd move mountains to get JPK. Hanno out and an emerging forward line means steady 110+ points. Have had him since the jump and has been probably my best decision.
Ollie has to go. 2nd year engine. See him going 85+ from the year out.

Lyons came out and said it would be quite unlikely that he'd rest Pav and Sandi – who I'd assume would be the two who would've got rested first.
