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.

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 19:43
Malceski is a great option.

Itchy Nuts Pieman · 26/06/2014 at 19:59
Had Malcheski all year. Hit the sweet spot on my arousel curve! Playing super footy

Dave Ruddick · 26/06/2014 at 20:45
Sam…I reckon go to Scott Thompson from the Kangas…I reckon he is about to go BANG and will be a neat POD.

Dave Ruddick · 26/06/2014 at 20:48
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.

Rayza Ray · 27/06/2014 at 23:56
Hold on Prestia for the moment… Only 70 against the Hawkers last match, bit pricey at the moment I will go bang when price dips.

James Sykes · 27/06/2014 at 09:10
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.

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 19:45
Murphy will play, hold off trades.

Dave Ruddick · 26/06/2014 at 20:54
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.

Robbo · 26/06/2014 at 22:08
Thanks boys. It's quite a conundrum. Going for overall position and very high up there at the moment. Have swung shenton into the mids this week to cover for a possible late out by murphy and H'church comes onto the fwd bench. Means I have to play Ambrose this week and not enough cash to get Robbie Gray or Boomer until next week at the earliest..

Robbo · 26/06/2014 at 22:23
Other option is to bring in Miles and Kersten this week for Ambrose and Hartung… Would certainly rest easy if Murphy was a late out however is it a waste having somebody like miles worth so much on the bench if going for overall…

James Sykes · 27/06/2014 at 09:17
Hey Robbo.
In the exact same boat. Got Murphy and with Acres and Obrien on the bench.
Just got to hold I think. He almost played and pulled out before any major injury. I think he will play.
I would only trade if you have more than 7 trades and have enough cash to go straight to one of the top few of Gaz, Pendles, Rocky and JPK in 1 trade.
If you have those 4 covered already…..may luck be a lady….

Dave Ruddick · 26/06/2014 at 20:58
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.

Lekdog · 26/06/2014 at 21:01
Thanks for the feedback!

Big Ben · 26/06/2014 at 22:51
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

Sleepy · 27/06/2014 at 11:15
HI BB I think LekDog and Dave are referring to Scott Thompson if defence for the Roos and you are referring to Scott Thompson from the crows?

Matt Nish · 26/06/2014 at 19:23
great stuff jesse keep it up

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 19:49
This should be playing in everyones eyes just before hitting the trade button, Step up or Step down. Inspirational.

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 19:49
*ears*

Dave Ruddick · 26/06/2014 at 21:00
PUMPED by this inspirational speech!!

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 19:52
Malceski or Shaw, Id go Malceski. Keep Boomer, good run, he scores huge when playing in a winning team.

Mango Trouser · 26/06/2014 at 19:23
Not too keen on Libba captain with Griffin out.

@HJ_Mitch · 26/06/2014 at 19:35
Roos will not tag an inside player, Mango – history shows that. He will probably tag McCrae.

The Garbo · 26/06/2014 at 20:10
And no Cross and McKenzie, the dees main taggers. So Aiden Riley will prob get the job as tagger and most likely will go to MaCrae – But I'm hoping MaCrae should break the tag.

@HJ_Mitch · 26/06/2014 at 19:39
For $600K, I don't think you can go past Dayne Beams @ $578,600 or Nat Fyfe @ $573,400

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 19:54
Nat Fyfe or NDS

scano · 26/06/2014 at 20:07
will fyfe be rested though? want to bring him but not sure

Hazey · 26/06/2014 at 20:38
Is it too dangerous to have both Barlow n Fyfe?
Can affoerd any mid to trade out Griffen.

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 21:38
I dont see the danger in having 2 top players from the same team. With no more byes, I just dont see the danger.
I have had Pendlebury and Beams from the start, and that has worked a treat.
Very difficult for any team to stop Fyfe and Barlow, and I dont think either will be rested.

Kev · 26/06/2014 at 21:29
Don't understand not bringing in fyfe because he could be rested. Every player is a chance to get rested.

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 21:35
Freo will be in a dog fight for a top 4 position this year, it is going to be super tight from 1 to 5/6. No team in the top 5-6 will be resting players.

enternamehere · 26/06/2014 at 19:26
will face crowley in sc finals

SamuelScoach · 26/06/2014 at 19:29
rocky got 158 vs crowley only last week

Mitch · 26/06/2014 at 20:39
Crowley played on Rocky only last quarter in that game. Went to Hanley and wiped him off the ground. I reckon he'll go to Hanley again or Zorko (depending on who is in form) then possibly Rocky if he beats one of the former early doors..

Danners16 · 26/06/2014 at 19:38
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.

Lekdog · 26/06/2014 at 19:29
If you missed out on hurn when he was cheap the safer option is malceski. But with glass gone hurn had stepped up and I fell he has a higher sealing than malceski, saves a bit of cash too. However with shaw out malceski may start to score really highly again. Flip of the coin really. Malceski for mine, gets injured less than hurn.

paul · 26/06/2014 at 19:32
thanks for the advice, think i'm leaning towards malecski at the moment but we'll see

@Rem_Wah · 26/06/2014 at 20:29
Malceski

Need advice · 26/06/2014 at 19:46
Reckon thats a pretty good bet

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 19:57
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.

The_Darwin_Ducks · 26/06/2014 at 20:09
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

Lekdog · 26/06/2014 at 19:30
I like it, if I wasn’t full premo id pick him up

Derek · 26/06/2014 at 21:24
Don’t like GWS next few games

Need Advice · 26/06/2014 at 19:47
Get it done, Langdon will bleed cash over next 2 wks.

Dylan · 27/06/2014 at 18:33
I’ve gone Langdon to hibberd, going with my gut!

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 20:00
How much do you have to spend. I would go Barlow, Fyfe or NDS before bringing in Bartel.

Jojo · 26/06/2014 at 21:26
65k in the bank. Those 3 are mids, in that scenario I have to keep Langdon (Def)

Kristofor · 27/06/2014 at 13:48
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.

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 20:05
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.

Matt · 27/06/2014 at 22:38
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

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 20:05
Honeychurch – he is quality, and will shine in the Bulldogs team.

scano · 26/06/2014 at 20:06
honeychurch will probably get the vest a lot
not sure about their JS though

Derek · 26/06/2014 at 21:27
I thought Dogs had a permanent green vest

Sleepy · 27/06/2014 at 11:26
Gianseracusa?(re the vest) is out for two weeks so I would hold off on Honeychurch til Gia comes back and HC is on the bubble

Garglesnarf FC · 27/06/2014 at 13:28
He is not listed on the bench, so he won’t get the green vest this week. No guarantees that he won’t get the red one however.

deadly · 27/06/2014 at 15:17
Doesn't mean anything.

OzSonic · 26/06/2014 at 20:07
Honey. Only because I think he has better JS.

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 20:10
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.

Kev · 26/06/2014 at 21:42
Brilliant advice mate. No point being tight with funds now if you are fighting for a spot in the 8. Get the best player you can

Kev · 26/06/2014 at 21:43
Are you thinking of trading this week, Woody? Outline your plans and you'll get some proper feedback

Woody · 26/06/2014 at 22:35
Yeah i was thinking of trading Langdon.

Dylan · 27/06/2014 at 18:35
What options are you thinking?

Liam · 26/06/2014 at 20:36
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

Jimmy Columbine · 26/06/2014 at 20:19
http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/James_C…

@Rem_Wah · 26/06/2014 at 20:36
Jimmy. 4 trades. 9 rounds. If injuries strike….
Anyways, your team is looking great; being full premo (except N Roo and maybe Zorko)
In terms of options, just hold your trades.

julz · 26/06/2014 at 20:46
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?!

john snow · 26/06/2014 at 21:02
I figure he was best on last week with 5 goals, maybe one more run in the twos and he'll be back in. I don't like wasting trades on rucks especially this late in the year.
I'm going to sub Martin into the R2 position from my forward line. Just means I have to play Ambrose on the field which isn't ideal. I've waited this long for him to get back in, if he's out next week he's gone I think. Too much money sitting on the bench

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 21:43
Watch the entire Casey Scorpions v Box Hill match last Saturday. Langford & McEvoy were the best 2 players. Both unlucky not to be named.

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 21:47
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.

BCHawks · 26/06/2014 at 20:58
I'd go Wingard.

Hazey · 26/06/2014 at 21:27
Got some work to do in the mids there Matt! Griffen down to Miles to generate cash or Griffen to someone like Stevie J?

Hazey · 26/06/2014 at 21:35
Actually… Derickx to a cheapbruck like Brown then one of yr rookie Mids to an elite mid would be the way to go perhaps?
Uses 2 trades but I really think you nneed to muscle up in there!

Matt · 26/06/2014 at 22:07
Which rookie should I consider upgrading and which elite should i bring in?

Hazey · 26/06/2014 at 22:24
Brown or Thurlow maybe as rookie rucks, then Fyfe, JPK, Boomer, Rocky or Libba maybe? Sloane if yr short of cash.

Matt · 26/06/2014 at 22:30
Which midfielder would I pull the trigger on to get the elite?

Sleepy · 27/06/2014 at 11:34
Which Thomas do you have in MID? Daisy or Matt

Matt · 27/06/2014 at 16:26
Daisy

Caz · 27/06/2014 at 01:07
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.

MightyDonsFC · 26/06/2014 at 21:22
As much as it pains me to say, birchall just

Derek · 26/06/2014 at 21:30
Stratten back this week for hawks. Birchell won’t need to play as a tall. Will get back to his run and kick. Good pick

bogga · 27/06/2014 at 19:20
Yeah, I agree. Thanks for the advice lads

Hazey · 26/06/2014 at 21:28
Sloane is a cheaper option also, uber consistent wothcI think 4 scores >120 n none less than 80.

Dean · 26/06/2014 at 21:42
Yea i like Sloane as a player for sure, but i think coming to end of year, with 2 slots left in MID, and plenty of cash, id rather grab the best of the best

Hazey · 26/06/2014 at 22:03
In that case maybe Kennedy. Rocky is a beast but playing a lone hand at times which ‘might’ wear him down. Role change now possible with Brown gone too?

big aggots · 26/06/2014 at 21:52
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.

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 21:56
Is your F8 playing? You maybe able to loophole with Kersten playing Friday night.

big aggots · 27/06/2014 at 10:54
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

Donavan · 27/06/2014 at 18:56
Thanks aggots,
Your analysis has won me over.

Donavan · 26/06/2014 at 22:26
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.

Hazey · 26/06/2014 at 22:39
Thanks for the sanity check bro, must be the mad heat out here making me go troppo! The old trade finger sure loves itching.
Had a peek at the Freo draw too and couldn’t go past Fyfe. If they restbtjem, hopefully it’s Barlow one week, Teen Wolf the next.

Kristofor · 27/06/2014 at 14:45
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.

Hazey · 27/06/2014 at 08:52
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!

Tinnies · 27/06/2014 at 19:07
Going Ablett and Libba myself.

Paul · 28/06/2014 at 11:53
…but Shenton and Acres play for the same team so you won't be able to bring Acres on after that game!

Donavan · 27/06/2014 at 08:39
JPK for me

Derek · 27/06/2014 at 08:55
JPK is SC gold.

Hazey · 27/06/2014 at 08:56
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.

blake · 27/06/2014 at 16:22
cheers guys!

big aggots · 27/06/2014 at 10:58
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.

Mozz · 27/06/2014 at 07:59
don't like that trade: very inconsistent player hooker is. You want to be getting a premo for Langdon

Derek · 27/06/2014 at 08:54
sideways trade to me. similar output.

Garglesnarf FC · 27/06/2014 at 10:18
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.

deadly · 27/06/2014 at 15:19
And Currie might get another run too when back from injury?

Kristofor · 27/06/2014 at 13:52
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.

Shaun · 27/06/2014 at 18:06
Yeah thanks mate!

Derek · 27/06/2014 at 08:53
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.

Kristofor · 27/06/2014 at 13:55
I'm waiting another week to watch Kersten.. will bring him in for Shenton or Taylor (Bris) next week if he scores reasonably.

Hazey · 27/06/2014 at 09:14
Fyfe?

Mebois · 27/06/2014 at 09:30
thinking prestia, selwood, and greenwood but he may be too risky.

M Honeychurch · 27/06/2014 at 09:30
Shenton to Parker instead?

Mebois · 27/06/2014 at 09:34
shenton can still make a bit of cash but langdon will fall at a rapid rate so he is my main concern

Garglesnarf FC · 27/06/2014 at 10:09
Having an M/D in your mids is precious at this time of year and while he might drop a little this week, he generally scores more points than Shenton and will make a superb M9 come finals.
I would keep him and concentrate on adding two premo mids. Shenton to Parker is a good move, as it keeps you flexible across every line. JSelwood would be solid as well.
When McGovern finishes fattening he can provide your final cash upgrade via either Langford or Kolo.

Sleepy · 27/06/2014 at 11:42
Hey Mofo Lloyd listed as emergency so could be close to getting a recall

Mitchell · 27/06/2014 at 13:37
Traded him out last week. heard he wasn't going too well in the 2's

Tombe · 27/06/2014 at 09:56
Probs Stevie J but is a risk

Azmataz · 29/06/2014 at 05:51
Andrew Swallow will be a good POD and has a good run home.

MightyDonsFC · 27/06/2014 at 11:26
Do you have Derickx or ambrose?

big aggots · 27/06/2014 at 12:02
No Derickx or Ambrose
Team is:
McV, Swall, Simp, Hibb, Langdon, LMac (BMartin, Georgiou)
Abl, Pend, Libba, Jelwood, Beams, Stev J, Danger, Cotch (Miles, O'Rourke (loop))
Minson, Sandi (Thurlow, Currie)
Boomer, Parker, Breust, Buddy, Zorko, Motlop (Stef Martin, Cameron)

Derek · 27/06/2014 at 13:13
Miles is to much cash on bench. Downgrade him to honeychurch. You might need SMartin when Freo play Saints and Sandi is rested (100% chance of that).

Hazey · 27/06/2014 at 14:35
Go crazy and downgrade Cotchin n put Miles in at M8 while he fattens then upgrade Langdon or McD to a premo!
You’ll not lose any scoring power n make enough cash from the downgrade n Miles price rising for a few weeks for prob 3 premo upgrades!
PS – I have undiagnosed CTD (Compulsive Trades Disease) and cannot be held liable for any bad outcomes!

Garglesnarf FC · 27/06/2014 at 12:46
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.

Azmataz · 29/06/2014 at 05:58
Solid looking team there mate. If you were to trade out anyone, I would move on Jaensch for Malceski. But yeah definitely do a cash grab, like Shenton to honeychurch or Dericx to Brown. You might need cover in the mids though, so maybe cull Hallahan instead. Where are you ranked?

Derek · 27/06/2014 at 13:06
Good team. only thing I would do is cash grab Derickx to have some money in your war chest for the run home.

RooBoy · 27/06/2014 at 13:23
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.

SCaddict · 27/06/2014 at 13:31
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.

Mitchell · 27/06/2014 at 13:32
I'll stick fat with him cheers

Azmataz · 29/06/2014 at 05:59
Yeah Hold for sure

SCaddict · 27/06/2014 at 13:32
Paying too much of a premium right now I think. Parker is better value if you don't already have him. An absolute steal at $485K for a player averaging a tonne and still improving week to week.

Kristofor · 27/06/2014 at 13:54
Stoked I got on him at his basement price… but now he costs too much.. better options for his coin.

Azmataz · 29/06/2014 at 05:59
Not at that prce. Wait until he drops a bit – that 70 will drop his price (finally!) I am going to jump on at some stage.

Mozz · 27/06/2014 at 14:36
I would definitely hold onto trades this week. Your team is 1 away from full premo so there's not much to worry about!
If you're going to be in the finals as number 5-8, you would want 6 trades left
If you're going to be in the finals as number 1-4, you would want 4 trades left
The only trade I can see (assuming there are no injuries) is an upgrade of Shenton. Maybe in 2 weeks you could downgrade Hallahan to Honeychurch and then upgrade Shenton to a premo and VOILA! Your team is finished

big aggots · 27/06/2014 at 14:58
Hallahan to Honeychurch next week? Bench cover and approx $200K for last 5 trades.
I'd also look at swapping Shenton with D'Field this week – then loophole Shenton with Ambrose as Cameron is still missing.

Nick · 27/06/2014 at 17:04
cheers for the feedback guys! i should be top 4 for the finals. unfortunately ill be overseas for the finals… so looking at using all trades before then!

Azmataz · 29/06/2014 at 06:01
You can still get on the Net overseas Nick! I think you should go Hallahan to Honeychurch. No mid bench cover is a bit dangerous…

SCaddict · 27/06/2014 at 13:55
Not a trade I would personally recommend particularly as Miles has already jumped $75K. Due for a quiet one too as surely oppositions will afford him more attention soon.
Think you are better off trying to make cash out of the likes of a Kersten, Brown, Honeychurch and maybe even Zak Jones and hang on to Smurf in the process.

Mozz · 27/06/2014 at 14:31
agreed. Don't go Smurf –> Miles. Hold your trades where possble

Azmataz · 29/06/2014 at 06:02
Definite No

Itchy Nuts Pieman · 27/06/2014 at 14:48
The late hammy problem last week has me worried

MightyDonsFC · 27/06/2014 at 17:56
Don't bring in Nroo!

Consider K Mitchell to Wingard (30k cheaper than Cotchin) this week then look at Ambrose to a scoring mid next week by swinging Wingard forward. If you have the trades to downgrade another cash cow, you might be able to stretch to a fallen premo like S Johnson.

Rhubarb · 27/06/2014 at 18:41
Solid Midfield Rowdy. If worried about further POD then Ward or JPK, otherwise Fyfe. Without knowing the rest of your team, Parker or even R Gray next week after a further price drop might help open a swing set and save a bit of $ for later.

TOM · 27/06/2014 at 17:07
archie smith

Matt · 27/06/2014 at 17:28
Preferably someone who will play

Derek · 27/06/2014 at 18:28
Sandi will be rested for the Freo game against Saints. He won't want to travel to Melbourne on a 6 day break. that is round 18. Get your team ready for that if you are keeping Sandi

George · 27/06/2014 at 20:04
You'll be VERY low on trades by the end of it. If you want to really contend league finals I would hold off until he is on the bubble, and only then trade him in if he strings a few decent scores together, avoids the green vest and ends up with a really low breakeven.

big aggots · 27/06/2014 at 18:38
Cotchin MDFC. Got it 30 times last week and could've turned the corner.

Ollie · 27/06/2014 at 18:28
hasn't been sub yet from memory and i think port will go with sam gray as sub

Cjay · 27/06/2014 at 18:30
Thanks Ollie seen plenty of low scores and assumed they may have been sub affected

big aggots · 27/06/2014 at 18:40
Definitely had it against Cats as I needed 20 for a league win and he got 12…..

dannyyboyy · 27/06/2014 at 19:03
ouch! with a BE of 9 this week i hope he goes ok, im aiming to trade him next week for kersten. hopefuly he has played enough games by now that he wont get vested to often but who knows. if u have another option to put on the field maybe go with that

Jokers Wild · 28/06/2014 at 00:24
Twice (Round 6 & Round 7) but I wouldn't expect him to get it this week.

dannyyboyy · 27/06/2014 at 20:24
i went gray, the trade feels like the right move. im happy, for now.

Derek · 27/06/2014 at 18:44
Moribito also named as an emergency, don't be surprised to see him get named.

Dustin · 30/06/2014 at 15:47
I was hoping you were right but both ddnt even play!

Mathew · 27/06/2014 at 21:44
JPK great run in a great team that is very consistant and also a POD in 10% of teams.
Good luck

OldOcker · 27/06/2014 at 22:41
Get back to you later tonight mate I will study the stats to give you my best opinion.
Cheers bloke.

chandanrajdb · 27/06/2014 at 22:45
Thanks mate…..Very much appreciated…..appreciate your wisdom here….
Common community……need some real wisdom this week……
Cheers,
Raj……

Cam_H · 27/06/2014 at 22:43
Raj,
Envious of your position, and wish you all the best as you hunt down that $50,000!
Is a Fwd/Mid of any value to you, or is a Mid 'specialist' OK?

big aggots · 27/06/2014 at 23:01
Enviable position to be in – well done Raj!
Price or BE's aren't relevant to you, so JPK all the way. He's a contested pill beast, team's winning, last 13 games all over 100. Is reliable even on quieter days and can post 150's when planets align. *sighs* Tossed up between him and Cotchin many frustrating weeks back….

DJT · 28/06/2014 at 01:19
If last trade JPK 100% but with 4 trades left you want some cash so your able to sideways trade to anyone (Just my thoughts)

OldOcker · 28/06/2014 at 01:48
Hi Raj, Great job with the ranking mate, I am back with an opinion because this is a tough call for your final decision.
I know you have put up your team a few times mate but I am assuming you have GAJ, Pendles, Liber.
Unless you need that mid/fwd swing I would be looking at JPK or Rocky.
Most of the early leading teams had JPK from game one.
Looking at the last 7 games of the season ave for the last 3 years.
Josh P Kennedy:
2011 96.7 Season Average 96.1
2012 127.1 " 120.2
2013 96.7 " 105.4
2014 ? Current Average 121.1
Tom Rockliff:
2011 129.6 Season Average 113.6
2012 76 " 97.3
2013 129.4 " 109.7
2014 ? Current Average 123.3
Very tough call to make between these 2 players and I would like to have them both. My gut call would be Rocky only because I was dissapointed in JPK last year.
BUT: This is your call and good luck with it.
Parker is a must have in the forward line in my opinion.
Harvey can be very inconsistent in his scoring when you need him most.
Fyfe on stats compared to JPK and Rocky does not stack up at the end of the season.
If you want the stats for the last 3 years in excel format Drop an email to "[email protected]" Just put in the subject heading "Ocker Said" I will make sure you get them.. This also breaks down the season into thirds to give you an idea as to how players start and finish the season.
Cheers Mate and great job on the ranking would love to see you win it mate.

chandanrajdb · 29/06/2014 at 11:11
Hi Ocker,
Thanks for your wisdom and stats above mate much appreciated……I went with the safe option and traded Shenton to JPK….and I am very happy with his debut in my team…..
Cheers,
Raj…..

OldOcker · 29/06/2014 at 15:48
Good onya mate the decision was yours,
I wish you all the best, you are a very important part of the community mate, keep up the good work and never give up mate.
Cheers.

big aggots · 27/06/2014 at 22:35
Hard one. Not sure Impey would go much higher even without the vest.

OldOcker · 28/06/2014 at 01:07
Hi James, Impey has only beaten that score on 4 occasions in ten games. The odds of him getting better are slim I would take it.
But if you are confident of a win this week the risk could be worthwhile.
Cheers

Cam_H · 27/06/2014 at 22:45
No scores tonight pour moi either … problems with their staff travelling to the game apparently.

LJB · 27/06/2014 at 23:06
Face the same dilemma, the bloke I'm playing and I both have gazz as captain.

DJT · 27/06/2014 at 23:14
I'd bank 276 for one player any day

David · 28/06/2014 at 00:56
Thats Ablets average so yeah take the score

PJay · 28/06/2014 at 09:35
Gary vs Hawthorn in Launceston? Hawks haven't lost there in last 9 visits. They beat the suns by 99 points in round 4, but GAJ still had 35 possessions. I have the same decision, my opponent has GAJ so may just play it safe.

David · 28/06/2014 at 01:01
lol i hear you mate, think its time to update the scoring mechanics in SC the threshold needs to go now surely. No justice to a player who has X factor or dominating in a game sometimes. Then i see players who pick up cheap possies who score as good or better when there's no pressure on them or breaking the game open. Just marki then kick or handball no tackles or frees for to boost the individual score, then they ton up? What a joke

michael · 28/06/2014 at 13:27
I agree – Heppell’s 40 possies deserved more surely!

OldOcker · 28/06/2014 at 02:05
Malceski.

BCHawks · 28/06/2014 at 09:31
I would take anything over 130 so definitely take it. Even if Ablett does score big and gets 150 you are only loosing 12 points.

Pjay · 28/06/2014 at 10:38
x 2 = 24 points

Thomas · 28/06/2014 at 10:56
No. Wrong.
138×2 = 276 + 150 = 426
150×2 = 300 + 138 = 438
Welcome

Pjay · 28/06/2014 at 11:15
Wow, that must be a magic trick! I never was good at maths. Thanks for that, I'm going to take Selwoods 138 for captain now.

BundyBear · 28/06/2014 at 16:34
Hmmm bad move

DJT · 28/06/2014 at 23:50
All that maths for nothing… Seriously community no more loop holes on vice captain…
Big fat "C" on Gazza and it ain't moving off him for the rest of the season!!!

big aggots · 28/06/2014 at 11:10
I toyed with that idea all week. If Brown plays well and Martin keeps scoring, it's still an option as Minson hasn't set the world on fire and I need the cash.

Cam_H · 28/06/2014 at 16:12
Tim,
I'm in a similar spot; only 6 trades but a bigger warchest. Not sure on the right move myself, but I've opted to hold (and could consider bringing Sam Mitchell back in depending on how all that pans out). Best of luck with whatever you choose.

Tim Cahill · 29/06/2014 at 09:32
Thanks Cam. Thinking I'll hold as well, provided he's not a late withdrawal. I've got a close league match that I need to win so might have to trade to ensure the win!

DJT · 28/06/2014 at 23:57
Vintage zorko… When you back him in he lets you down and as soon as you give up on him… BANG!

Jayden · 28/06/2014 at 17:11
In the same boat, however for me to take it, need to take sucklings 70 over either malcheski or mcveigh.

Jayden · 28/06/2014 at 17:12
Disregard that, still got currie and lobbe 🙂

OldOcker · 28/06/2014 at 20:17
I think I might take GAJ's score and loophole Currie with Sandi.

The Vampire · 29/06/2014 at 00:00
hmmmm lets see- if libba gets 170 your total overall gain is 13 points? hmmmmm
Libba wont get 170.

OldOcker · 28/06/2014 at 20:19
Hi Ryan, In my opinion Liber without a doubt.
I had GAJ as VC into Liber C But I am naturally going to take GAJ score.
Cheers.

Ryan · 28/06/2014 at 23:01
Cheers mate, will take a punt on libba

Patsy · 28/06/2014 at 23:04
The thing with Libba is that even when he doesn't touch the ball, he tackles like crazy!! And points for tackles are concrete, not dependent on efficiency. Good choice

DJT · 28/06/2014 at 23:46
You got Shenton in because his a cash cow, you got Tex in for his scoring capabilities for his price so back your gut in and back Tex in to score higher then Shenton

The Filth · 28/06/2014 at 23:21
Oops – SEVEN to play – how could I forget Libba…

SCaddict · 29/06/2014 at 03:37
I'm on track for around 2750 so yes there will be some truly monstrous scores this round.

The Filth · 29/06/2014 at 15:54
Hope you were able to change Libba as captain….

Anthony · 29/06/2014 at 03:10
with 2048 6 more to play Tex,Chad,K.Mitchell,Danger,Simpson and Beams surely i have a chance going for the $$$

SCaddict · 29/06/2014 at 12:07
Wouldn't get your hopes up. 2650 will be around par this week which means there will be some buggers who get close to 3,000!
