Do you use toilet paper to clean that facial hair?
Goddard or JPK a higher priority this week?
Both with the round 12 bye, Depends on team structure but keep byes in mind.
I prefer JPK at this stage.
I had the same decision to make this week.
Was either going salem to goddard or heeney to Kennedy/Parker
Went with JPK
Arny95, Very decisive in your decision there, Good onya, Hope it's the right one. I would have made the same decision.
Faced with the same call I went Floggard as a dpp and now have 5 forward premo keepers. The other reason was to wait a little longer to see if I can get Gaz and/or Rocky in the mids down the track
Not sure if you will pick up JPK for any cheaper so I would grab him.
Don't believe JPK is a must this season better options to be had
Holty, I’m not convinced about jpk yet mate. Looking into the crystal ball and with no one injured and in grand final tomorrow I’d be looking at this midfield. Fyfe Pendles Selwood Sloane Lewis ( I have those 5 plus griffin at the moment). Think I’ll end up trading griffin out for Ablett or Rockliff. That is 7 keepers. Number 8 is jpk Heppell Watson etc etc. who knows? There will be heaps of different thoughts here and lots of variables. May even have sidebum in there.
With the look at the end, I can only hope you made it there in time.
Solid Q&A. Following advice with Griff. Wait a week and if doesn't go ton, swing to JPK.
Still waiting for the bowler…
JPK has a break even of 105. He will make this. JPK won't come any cheaper than 547k. Trade Griffen for JPK now, don't wait.
Think you're right, Jambo. Was going to wait but even if Griff hits BE, still going down in a next couple weeks. Thanks bud for the push.
Bring out the bowler……………..
Has to happen before the season's over, General.
Agree, might spam next Q&A.
Nice one, Lekdog! Yours is about the only news I watch these days!
With all the Suns injuries/club suspensions, Josh Glenn also looks a decent downgrade option in mids. Still got another week before the bubble, but if you simply have to do it, looks look ke him or McKenzie like you said.
* looks like him. Damn auto correct wtf!?
Is your Auto Correct Polynesian?
like it!
Hey lekdog keep up the good work. I myself am bringing in D.Mckenzie after taking K.Mcintosh to the slaughter i know he still has a bit of cash to make but wanna see how J.Glenn goes this week and if good bring him in for Heeney next week. Im also gonna part ways with Salem and bring in Brendon Goddard what you think? As for ideas for your show maybe you could do a fan team analyzer where fans submit there team and you provide perceived strengths weaknesses ideal trades and overall rating. Could be good just an idea. Cheers mate
I love that idea Redd!! I'd love to get my team analysed, I think we could all learn a lot by seeing that every week!
Cheers sarah
Great idea Redd, If the young genius can find the time it could be a very useful exercise.
I analyse my own team every week to keep my mind focussed and not stray from my Plan for the year.
Cheers Ock
Hi Redd. Understand bringing in Goddard but dont understand the Mckenzie move. You state you want to have another week to look at Glenn before bringing him in which I will do the same but you want to pull the trigger on Mckenzie who as well has only played one game. Wouldn't it be wise to wait another week?
Some of us still need to make some money unfortunately 🙁
Hey Holty i think Mckenzie looked pretty good on the weekend and im confident he'll play more footy, not so sure about glenn although with bennel and maetera suspended it will give him a chance to grab a spot in the suns side. I was gonna trade Heeney for Mckenzie originally but dont wanna miss the downgrade option in my backline I.e when Kamdyn Mcintosh plateaus next week there may not be a viable down grade option in the backline if i have Mckenzie already selected in my mids. Then next week i can downgrade heeney he wont lose any cash cos hes injured and turn D.Rich into Pendles.
be careful with dmac, highly rated but richo seems the type of offer them a couple of games and then back to the seconds. Glenn on the other hand is older in a mans body and playing for a side that has lost their best 4 midfielders. If you need to make a downgrade I would tend to look at glenn. Also comes down to what you plan for next week. If next week is a paint (up and down) two trade week then perhaps you will need to go a week early
Great video as always Lek.
Salem to Goddard seems to make perfect sense for me.
Depending on team selection I may be very tempted by Heeney to Glenn this week as it will give the potential down and up trades next week.
Enjoy the Little Creatures. Great drop.
was thinking along these lines also….. will monitor heeney and if he is not named I will swoop. Great JS for glenn after the internal suspensions….
Good Onya Lek, Keep pouring that genius out mate,
You even drink the right grog, We might have one together one day.
Cheers.
PS: As long as you won't try and force me into a conversation about Carlton FC.
Carlton Dry is another story.
Have they approached Bomber yet?
Sources say not yet
I don't have any sources
Bellchambers. Good call Hold. I may upgrade to Ryder as a F6 later.
Hold Griffin. He is getting paid way too much money to be this crap.
He will come good to vindicate his bulging wallet.
What to do with James Kelly?
Mac, I think you will be looking at a trade there.
News is that he has a ruptured testicle and will be out for the next month. So I would be looking at some options.
I would say 4 weeks minimum which is too long to hold him.
My Opinion.
I'm just benching him at this stage as I have trading/upgrading priorities. McIntosh is playing well enough to cover him for the time being.
I really want hold both trades this week, but some of those fallen premiums are too good a deal to pass up
Ok guys so
I don’t think I’m going to make any trades this week but next week I’m thinking of going heeney down to Glenn then trade Salem out for Goddard or someone around that
Also want to get pendles in but the best way to do for me is to trade griffin for him which I’m not so keen to do,
Thoughts?
This would mean you couldn’t get McKenzie next week.
Salem to Glenn, Griffen to Fyfe…..done
I would hold off on those trades till next week mate. Glenn isn’t guaranteed any more games, salem can go up a bit more and it also gives you another week to think about griifin. He will come good
gonna make a trade to get either Buddy or Dustin, who am i better off picking?
Dusty
buddy but he is still to bottom out IMO. dusty will just frustrate. Why not BJ? bargain at that price
Yeah I’ve locked Goddard, he is a must imo
Whose place did Glenn take in the Suns team last week, I forget. Just wondering about his JS (this week he is safe)
Derek, Pretty sure he is in for Swallow and his job security looks pretty good with the injuries and out of form players that they have at the moment.
Buying him next week if all goes to plan.
Cheers.
Hi OldOcker, do you think it’s ok to downgrade to Mckenzie or glen this week to allow for getting the other one next week and using the cash to upgrade? I currently don’t have the cash to make upgrades and I still have goodes on the bench
Derek, The Suns have 16 players out this week, so take your pick. 5 will come back in the next week then nothing for a while. Barring injury or a total spud job he’s safe for a few weeks.
Love your work Lekdog!
Who is a better option out of Hannebery and JPK at this stage?
JPK
Why?
He's got the history of being a consistent supercoach premium. Hannerbery's best past average is 101 so he doesn't have the proven history just yet of being an elite scorer.
I love watching JPK play. You don't see him much in general play, but as soon as there is a stoppage he appears! the more stoppages the better he scores.
Proven consistency and price.
JPK more of a chance of him doing better in the long run
Rich to Goddard and then move Goddard to the forward line?
Or Rich to a premo mid? ($580 spend)
I wouldn't jump to soon on Rich mate. He is averaging 96 with more cash to make. If you want Goddard, I'd be looking elsewhere
I’ve identified a few options this week
1. Simple Bellchambers to Goddard
2. TBC to Goddard & Newton to JPK (not much Cash left)
3. TBC to Ziebell Newton to Pendles
4. TBC to Goddard Rich to Pendles
5. Hold
Do think Rich will have 90+ the next to weeks so happy to keep him for the foreseeable future,
Could also go Newton for Pendles, JPK or Goddard also.
I think just bring in one premium for Newton. I'm assuming Bellchambers is there for ruck cover, so why trade him?
Thanks Sarah, that’s probably the way I’ll go, TBC is there for back up just wish he’d out another 10-15 Pts a week
Hold TBC, his greatest value is his Ruc/Fwd, So if on of your ruckman go down. your covered, plus he's a decent stepping stone
4. If TBC is not your backup ruck
Might be better to hold Rich – he'll go up in value a couple more weeks – essentially enough so you can downgrade (or sideways) to Rocky come close to bye rounds or in R12
Don't shave from Movember 2011!! Hahahaha Gold!
made me spit my coffee that call
Industry secret that one
Griffen OUT, JPK or Parker in?
sideways trade imo.
I would hold Griffin and use him to trade up to Rocky or Gaz.
Parker still has a week left to cheapen up. Hold one more week for both
Don't trade out Griffen unless everything is going well for you
Griffins averaging more than Parker , why would you even consider that trade? I'm stuck with both griffin and Parker and wish to SC god I never picked either
Hey Community, looking to drop Salem n Ben Newton for 2 premos, 471k in the chest at this stage was looking at buddy and dahlhaus via DPP- looking for some POD action, wanted JPK n dal but was 10k short, good trade? Not sold on franklin, but don’t want Goddard as everyone is getting him this wk. 26 trades left.
You could go Dangerfield and Dahlhaus?
Can't see Dangerfield in the top ten Midsfielders.
Franklin is playing very well. I am always worried about key forwards, but he does seem to be an exception to the rule. Was waiting for his price to drop some more and get him as a buffalo bounce trade around the byes.
Daz, If you can afford to go up to 2 premo's that you are happy with that is a good move.
BUT if you are looking at dal (Dal Santo)? it maybe a good thing you were 10k short because dal is not playing he is out injured.
Sometimes the point of difference that you have is the time at which you bring a player into the team or trade them out, Not just the fact that everyone may end up with the same player.
He ment Dahlhaus mate 🙂
I think he meant Dahlhause from the dogs, not dal santo
Cheers blokes I am getting too bloody old for this abbreviation stuff.
They should outlaw us blokes from using computers.
It’s okay mate I thought he meant nick dal too
Thinking of trading in Michael Barlow. Do people think he will average over 100 again or should I wait for better options (Sloane)?
Would steer clear of this one Gareth unless his role changes or there are some injuries. Is not playing in the guts this year. I wouldn't read much into his good score on the weekend as spent more time in the guts due to Pav and Walters going off (fyfe had to go forward a fair bit). Cant see him averaging more than 90-95 if his current role continues. Just my opinion.
Ross Lyon is freo's coach…..need I warn you again?
Thanks for the heads-up on Barlow's role. Desperate to get rid of one of my midfielders. Do you think Parker would be a better option?
barlow is a ball magnet keep, just unlucky at the moment not to get more ball
Wait on Sloane, I hear rumors that Barlow is being playing in a new role which is why he isn't scoring as great
Love your work Lekdog!
Community, should we be ditching Newnes for McDonald, or is this just a wasted sideways trade? Will Newnes come good? Am I better off waiting for my defensive rookies to fatten up and then upgrade them to McDonald, even if that means he'll be up around $530-550?
Newnes seems like to be doomed to average not higher than 80 for this season he gets balll but cant use it efficiently
I would stay away from mcdonald. Key defenders… we dont see them score big and consistant, simmo and smith are coming cheap
missed the boat on McDonald. key position player, stay away.
Newnes to McDonald sound good or even Pittard
I like the Pittard option. Very consistent!
You'd better hope he's not consistent. From 2011 to 2014 he hasn't averaged over 67. If you think he's a breakout contender then that's a different call.
That is what i meant side. He's having a consistent year and i'm considering him heavily. definite breakout year!
newnes looking like the next shaun atley atm, promised a breakout, but delivers a low ceiling and scores consistently around 70-80
I'm looking to pick up 2-3 R11 bye premos over the next few weeks , as My bye structure is currently 6-12-12.
Looking at Sloane in the mids as his price drops, up fwd dusty and one of either Bont or dollhouse. Is it too late to jump on the Bont? BE of 109 , so should still be able to get him around 500k ? Thoughts community?
Got my eye on rocky too, but that lad has to get on the park without injuring himself first
i would get on asap if you need to. After this week his low score of 82 will be irrelavent meaning his BE will drop to about 80, depeding if he scores 100 this week
It is not too late for the Bont, he hasn't gone over 500k yet
Didn't elect to put Tarrant in last week only because of injury history it might've been a bad move but was just too uncertain about him. Salem to Webb this week looks like a great downgrade option and then can upgrade B.Goodes or Heeney. Thoughts?
not too many rookie options left, if webb is your last hope then go to him
Also thoughts on Burgoyne as a fallen premium with Lewis and Hodge out will need to lift amd could play himself into some solid form
going to need to see some peformances first before getting him in
Very tempted by Burgoyne
so I have cracked it this week and used one trade….. treloar out pendles in….. big head butt of the table as I write this
Morning all,
Is Judd – Goddard/Franklin a good move?
Goddard/Frankiln are both keepers in my opinion which Judd never was plus Judd will prob lose aniother 20K this week having already dropped 16K.
I don't have anty rooks that I'm ready to cull as I jumped from Salem to Tarrant last week and all the rest of them prob have another week in them at least.
Thoughts?
question is will franklin bleed more cash or will he consistantly score 90+ from now on
Dahlhaus v Franklin. Please discuss
Dahlhaus, Franklin will leak more cash according to the Buffalo Jump in the JR magazine
Dahlhaus playing as an inside midfielder, vs a key forward
Hey community! Just wondering what to do with Hodge. Hold OR Trade to rookie OR Sideways trade to a premo
Thoughts would be great thanks
unless you can deal with 3 weeks. i would trade
Whats Mckenzie's job security looking like? wait till hes on the bubble or get in this week?
Wait. Lever at the Crows might get a game this week so could also be worth a look at as a def rookie.
Should I cull Salem and go pendles or hold and get him at the byes
Do it, you will need Pendles
I have griffen and nathan jones finding it hard to hold them both seen as i have the cash to get rid of one to pendles any ideas on who would be the best to cull im leaning more towards jones as he is set to drop a heap more cash
Hold Jones, he is doing well if you take out the 40's score. If you have room to cull Griffen, do it
Brodie Grundy, can he keep it up all season or not?
He could
Witts is close to a return from injury, Grundy seemed to be number one last year but Witts surpassed him. It's impossible to know without being in the inner sanctum.
Im tossing up between upgrading Salem to Dahl / Dusty / Buddy or trading Goodes to a def premium.
I dont have any cover in my def, but there arent any decent upgrade options i can see in that line so a fwd upgrade should be better in thoery (unless there's a late out in my def). i just dont want to pay top $$ for any of the defenders this year
What are the communities thoughts on this one?
Goodes to Def premo, Salem can still wait
Has anyone else heard about dayne beams apparently he has hurt his knee, it was on some website but he is not on the injuiry list so is it a rumour anyone with more info can u please reply
What has happened to jackson macrae, because the dogs are dominating he was smashing preseason, is it just because he cant handle the tag.
How many points do u think u have to be off the leader to still be within a chance of 50k
no more than a few hundred i would say
only a few hundred, the bye rounds are so important as its where it make or breaks your season
if you can wait another week, then cull goodes
Van Berlo > Glenn
Salem > Pendles
wait a week or not?
Go now
Go for it. NVB was ready to be culled last week so get him out.
Advice needed community! Current team
Shaw Higgins Gibson Newnes Oxley Saad – McIntosh Goodes
Fyfe Lewis Sloane Treloar Griffen Cripps VDB CEY – Miller Heeney Blakely
Goldy Grundy – OBrien
Swan Franklin Gray McCarthy Hogan Salem – Clark Krakouer
Considering removing Salem & Goodes, although Goodes has been useful as an expensive loophole.
Option 1 – Double Up
Salem>Ziebell
Goodes>Pittard
Option 2 – 1up 1 down
Salem>Goddard
Goodes>McKenzie
Option 3 – Sack Griffen!
Griffen>Pendlebury
Salem> Ziebell
Option 4 – Double Down
Goodes>Mckenzie
Blakely>Glenn
I think I like the first two most of all, especially option 1. Would then likely do 1 or 2 downgrades next week to build cash again.
Any ideas other ideas also gratefully received.
Thanks
Do you see Ziebell and Pittard as genuine top 6 in their respective positions? If so, go for it, if not it seems you are just trading for the sake of it. You're better of waiting a week or so until you can afford the players you really want, not just the ones you can afford this week.
Agree with NS74. Like the first leg of Option 3 but not the second.
I'm thinking about trading out
Salem for Glenn (because I would have traded him in next week anyway)
Griffin for Pendlebury
Or should I go for a Goddard/JPK this week and a Pendlebury later in the season?
Wait a week on Glenn
Does anyone know Taylor Hunts role this year? Is he playing as a tagger? I started with him as I thought he would score well but the last 2 weeks he has struggled.
Well done Lekdog superb as always. Now with the hodge situation should I just trade him for houli or pittard or should just keep on the bench for 3 weeks and play mcintosh or n.brown instead ? And should I get rid of newnes or keep him ? What about a swallow keep or trade ? Cheers
Just seeking to confirm whether there is any mid season review of positions in supercoach before I trade out Rich. Also of note is Mitch Clarke position change in DT.
No changes mid season SC or DT only Fantasy
Thanks
Higgins and Lamumba in DEF? hold or trade bait?
Trade Lumunba.
Supercoach first timer here. Dont know what the hell to do with Lycett. Brought him in thinking he'd step up with big cox gone but instead nic nats looking solid while lycetts been dropped and adam simpson looks keen on mcguiness and sinclair. I'm thinking of moving bellchambers into R2 and picking up mcguiness on the bubble for my forward line to make some cash and cut my losses on lycett. Didnt wanna use TBC too early but thats what he was there for. Or should i just chuck lycett into F7 for a week or two to see how things pan out? Thanks
I'd wait and see what the Josh Kennedy injury does for him.
yeah good thinkin i forgot about that cheers
I’m am new to supercoach so could someone please explain this to me. My team, like most has about 14 rookies. Around the byes we trade most of these fattened cows half up to premos and the other half down to rookies. Do these rookies brought in at the byes stay in our side for the rest of the season and are used at bench cover?
yes
Birchall or Enright?
Tough call I’d go Birchall just with Enrights age. What’s the price difference?
I'd go Enright because he's just so consistent. With the defence as weak as it is this year, consistency is key. Always scores between 85-105
What’s the bet Griffin will get 120+ this week
I’m thinking I may even just downgrade Kelly and keep Goodes on the bench in my D. I want to upgrade M then F first depending on fallen premiums. The way the D are going there’s a chance who ever I bring in could b outscored by Saad Oxley or McIntosh anyway. But I want to downgrade Salem next week and bring in Gray for maybe Hogan soon Thoughts?
Do I cull Salem and get Pendles/Goddard/JPK, or hold till round 8 because I will most likely be double down trading next week. My team is avg 2100 but I need a point injection, but on the other hand I have 700k in the bank so if I build up the warchest… I can make more trades later on. Thoughts really need help community.
Should we be considering I Smith, Rioli or Burgoyne?
These players will need to lift over the next couple of weeks
Anyone thinking Griffen to Sam Mitchell, has the easiest 4-5 weeks coming up with GWS, Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast, St Kilda. Then the BYE Round. Must be thought of.
hes a good pick, considering hodge and lewis are out. I can see him averaging 110 over the next 5, and 100 for the season
Is Tom McDonald a good option to look at trading in??
He's definitely firming. His lack of track record due to his age is the concern,
Who is more of a priority to trade out of Newnes and Lumumba?
newnes probably but wait cause theres not many options
Flick Lumumba.
Thoughts on Goodes to McKenzie and Kelly to Rance, Taylor, Houli, McDonald or anyone else around that price range
get on Josh glen and Daniel Mckenzie next week
3 options this week community
1 OUT Griffen – IN Pendles (not much cash left)
2 OUT Griffen – IN JPK
3 Hold
Can't see Griffen being a top 8 Mid and can see the other two being top 4-5
Thoughts?
Going griff to jpk also.
Double downgrade to McKenzie and Glenn next week is going to be a very common move, i can sense
