Very wise words from Big Ben…we can build ourselves up into a lather trading in players will nilly….there is no need…remember there will be inevitable injuries to deal with. Trading in players NOT on the bubble is a recipe for disaster…PATIENCE.

Malceski is a great option.

Had Malcheski all year. Hit the sweet spot on my arousel curve! Playing super footy

Sam…I reckon go to Scott Thompson from the Kangas…I reckon he is about to go BANG and will be a neat POD.

Brilliant wisdom from Timmo I reckon. There are so manner "unfashionable" players scoring big. Take a chance on a guy like Callun Ward for example. Love the Prestia pick Timmo.

I like the idea of POD provided they are returning comparable points to the more popular choice.

no point going Barlow as the POD if you are giving up JPK to your opposition = – 15 pts.

POD are good but not just for the sake of it. Sometimes you actually need to 'check' your opposition and match their selection if it is a top 8 pick.

Murphy will play, hold off trades.

you gotta hold him I reckon Robbo. He has average 111 for the season and has done his job. I reckon he will play every game from here so I think a sideways trade would be a real waste. If you wanted to downgrade him thats also a very risky move in my book. HOLD!!! I notice Zac O'Brien isn't playing this week which does leave you vulnerable. The other possibility is to trade him move a Bartel or McVeigh into your mids and bring in another Gun backman. Just a thought, but I still reckon Murphy will come up roses for you.

Swan to Pendles is good move I reckon particularly as you are already full-premo. On SDT, interestingly he avearged over 100 from round 15 last year so surely he can average 90-95 this year at least…as a D5 or D6 I reckon he is a top option for the price.

I agree with ya Lekdog, swan to peddles would be a good move and I am also cautioning people off Thompson, just can't see him being a top 8 mid by end of season

great stuff jesse keep it up

This should be playing in everyones eyes just before hitting the trade button, Step up or Step down. Inspirational.

PUMPED by this inspirational speech!!

Malceski or Shaw, Id go Malceski. Keep Boomer, good run, he scores huge when playing in a winning team.

Not too keen on Libba captain with Griffin out.

For $600K, I don't think you can go past Dayne Beams @ $578,600 or Nat Fyfe @ $573,400

Nat Fyfe or NDS

will face crowley in sc finals

Finals run-Adelaide, Collingwood (Macaffer?), Fremantle (Crowley?), Geelong (Guthrie?) players in brackets are the ones who could be tagging him, compared to D.Prestia and R.Sloane, Rockliff has it much tougher and they won't be the ones tagged and they also have good finals runs.

Reckon thats a pretty good bet

I would think so. But he will be a player, and if your putting him on the bench this week, I wouldnt worry, because he will play full games and score well very soon.

On the AFL website he is placed in the forward pocket so there is a fair chance that he won't have the green vest

Get it done, Langdon will bleed cash over next 2 wks.

How much do you have to spend. I would go Barlow, Fyfe or NDS before bringing in Bartel.

In the exact same boat.
Was tossing up between Thompson of Roos and Enright..
Have gone with Thompson.
Hibberd was just out of reach but under an injury cloud.
Janench another option if you don't have him.

I would go Janesch to Fyfe.

Enright is just hitting form, and Suckling will get more freedom to play closer to the mids as Hawks backline players return. Stratton back this week, Gibson still to come.

Very little, in a team with Goldy, Currie, Majak and pinch-hitting Petrie if he strings a couple of bad ones he will be gone

Honeychurch – he is quality, and will shine in the Bulldogs team.

Honey. Only because I think he has better JS.

Firstly you need to make the finals, so no point missing out with cash in the bank.

Secondly if you are at full premo by finals time (which should be a given), then you will need very little to cash because whoever you trade will be high priced.

Are you thinking of trading this week, Woody? Outline your plans and you'll get some proper feedback

Get on Pendlebury. Pod no value if Pendlebury scoring higher which he should. Also in finals you would just sideways trade to another premium if necessary. For mine at that upper price you might consider jpk who has a good finals run

Yeah feel yr pain john, bloody Bolton the stand in hawks coach is single handedly screwing my SC team, no Langford, hallahan and Mcevoy for weeks!!
What are u doing with the Big Boy aka Big Turd, I’m gonna trade him just not sure if I will sub S Martin in from forward to ruck 2 , can then straight swap for Parker. Or buy a gun ruck, will involve 2 trades then due to lack of funds! Only 7 trades left.
Can anyone else help us out with ideas?!

Tough call.

Like the trade, but with just 6 trades remaining i would hold onto trades, unless you have quality swinging players through each of the lines (Def-Mid, Mid-Fwd, Ruck-Fwd), as that flexibility is probably worth 2 extra trades.

I'd go Wingard.

Got some work to do in the mids there Matt! Griffen down to Miles to generate cash or Griffen to someone like Stevie J?

Don't think many freo players will be rested as there is a split round in round 18 and they will get a rest then. Freo will also want to make top 2 for a home final so will want to win as many games as possible.

As much as it pains me to say, birchall just

Sloane is a cheaper option also, uber consistent wothcI think 4 scores >120 n none less than 80.

Cats play tomorrow. If Kersten avoids the vest (which he should) then have him on the field. Church mouse looks like the sub with Gia out.

Is your F8 playing? You maybe able to loophole with Kersten playing Friday night.

Zorko averages 104 at the Gabba this year, 76 on the road.
McGovern faces Freo who apply the blowtorch to young players.
Zorko for mine

Keep Zorko, surely the Lions can not play as bad as they did last week, again this season.

I would hold onto trades, unless you will miss the finals. If you are looking at missing the finals then trade Shenton to Miles.

Zorko is hurting me too.. but no choice but to hold really.. him blasting out a 150 after I've traded him out would be the end of me.

It’s the best part about the game… Lucky I’m not a trader in real life. I’d either be broke or living it hard Wolf of Wall street style!

Going Ablett and Libba myself.

…but Shenton and Acres play for the same team so you won't be able to bring Acres on after that game!

JPK for me

JPK is SC gold.

If it’s yr last spot JPK. If u have 2 spots get Fyfe this week (Freo ridiculously good run coming up) n JPK asap.

Both gold but Fyfe for mine with the 50K change.
Fyfe BE 60 odd, he won't be this cheap again. JPK has a 150 BE and might be able to get him later.

don't like that trade: very inconsistent player hooker is. You want to be getting a premo for Langdon

sideways trade to me. similar output.

It’s just OK. He performed well enough as a forward to give him another week, but with Majak doing well in the twos I think Brown is always going to be one bad game away from being dropped.

I've done exactly that. Langdon out for Thompson… he's a bit of a gamble.. should get at least 70's-80's with potential of high scores now and then.

if you have the cash to go straight Langdon >> Hibberd I would do that.

Keeping a trade is just as good as having a swingset.

Ambrose still has a low BE and might go up a bit more. Kersten has only played 1 game, so you can watch him for another week. You might like the look of Honeychurch better than Kersten.

I'm waiting another week to watch Kersten.. will bring him in for Shenton or Taylor (Bris) next week if he scores reasonably.

Fyfe?

Shenton to Parker instead?

Hey Mofo Lloyd listed as emergency so could be close to getting a recall

Traded him out last week. heard he wasn't going too well in the 2's

Do you have Derickx or ambrose?

Like BA says, do nothing. Jump on a cash cow either next week or the week after just to give you cash in the bank for trades down the track.

Good team. only thing I would do is cash grab Derickx to have some money in your war chest for the run home.

Thanks guys, pretty much what I was thinking too.
Will probably wait a week on the Derickz to Brown to have another look at him (pretty happy Derickz not named as he won't drop in price).
Can also wait a week on Zac Jones to get a look a Max Warren from North or Dan McStay from Brissie.

Keep him of course. Just hit a flat spot but will bounce back sooner rather than later, maybe even this Sunday against the old foe.
