Howdy folks and welcome to our Round 6 Supercoach Scouting Report! It was another mixed bag in Supercoach for Round 5, with a raft of players punching below their normal weight, but we did have some quality scores from a host of players also.
For once I finally managed to get my knock my Captain pick out of the park (thankyou Scott Pendlebury!) and I hope all of you did also!
Also, remember to look out for the red and green Supercoach scores, RED = bad, GREEN = good which may help you out when it comes to picking your captains for the week.

Last time they met: Round 3, 2014: Collingwood LOST TO Geelong 76-87
Key scores: Mitch Duncan 142, Joel Selwood 138, Steele Sidebottom 131, Tom Hawkins 118
Scott Pendlebury’s score of 158 Supercoach Points last week was his highest since Round 2, 2014, where he scored 182 Supercoach Points against Sydney.
Joel Selwood had his 3rd sub 100 point game out of 5 games played for the season, only scoring 83 Supercoach Points last week.

Captain Pick(s): Scott Pendlebury belted out a terrific score last week, and should definitely be given consideration again because of that. Swan has been a bit more subdued over the past fortnight, but he’s Dane Swan and if he gets rolling then there’s no end to what he could score. For Geelong, Joel Selwood has been as cold as ice as of late, but he’s bound to thaw out sooner or later. If you feel really confident in your Captain selection (think Nat Fyfe) then a VC on Jelwood is an option as well. He could easily belt out a score of 140+ here.
Perfect 9 Pick: Scott Pendlebury
Saturday, May 9, 1:45pm @ Blundstone Arena
Last time they met: Round 12, 2014: North Melbourne DEFEATED Richmond 116-88
Key scores: Todd Goldstein 166, Brent Harvey 145, Jack Ziebell 119, Drew Petrie 114
With a score of 165 last week, Bachar Houli finds his 3 round average sitting at 132.6 Supercoach Points
Brent Harvey’s current average of 83.6 is his lowest recorded average in Supercoach and if he keeps this pace up, will be only the 3rd out of 11 seasons he recorded a Supercoach average of less than 100 (He averaged 87.7 in 2009 and 95.5 in 2012)

Captain Pick(s): We’ve seen Todd Goldstein belt out some big scores this year (one of the few rucks to be able to do it consistently too) and that score of 166 he had last time these teams faced would be sticking out like crazy for a number of Goldstein owners. Houli will certainly tempt some of his owners with the scores he’s put out in recent weeks, I’d probably stay away from that option, but you could still take a reasonable risk with the VC on him if you feel your C pick is solid.
Perfect 9 Pick: Todd Goldstein
Saturday, May 9, 2:10pm @ Etihad Stadium
Last time they met: Round 20, 2014: Western Bulldogs DEFEATED St Kilda 122-99
Key scores: Adam Cooney 139, Jake Stringer 129, Shaun Higgins/Adam Schneider 109, Stewart Crameri/Jack Steven 104
Matthew Bontempelli and Luke Dahlhaus have continued their outstanding seasons, they are currently ranked as the #2 and #5 forwards in Supercoach for 2015.
After opening 2015 with scores of 101 and 102 Supercoach Points, Shane Savage 3 round average currently sits at 56.0 Supercoach Points.

Captain Pick(s): The Bulldogs have been on fire this year, with several guys capable of putting up great scores. You just get the feeling here this could be the game where a Stringer/Bontempelli/Dahlhaus type busts out a 130+ score for the day. Bont owners, you could do worse than picking him this week. For the Saints, David Armitage has been the only one who looks to be worth giving any consideration to.
Perfect 9 Pick: Marcus Bontempelli
Saturday, May 9, 4:05pm @ Spotless Stadium
Last time they met: Round 11, 2014: GWS LOST TO Hawthorn 87-94
Key scores: Callan Ward 142, Devon Smith 139, Adam Treloar 129, Isaac Smith 121
Devon Smith is the #8 ranked forward in Supercoach, with an average of 103.6 Supercoach Points, which is up on the 91.2 he averaged in 2014.

Captain Pick(s): The Hawks will be without Lewis and Hodge this week, with Lewis racking up so many possessions in the middle for the Hawks I’d expect someone there will need to step up. Kennedy kicked a bag of goals on GWS last week, so you might look for Roughead to do the same? For GWS we’ve seen Dylan Shiel pump out some big scores, but if I had to put money on it, I wouldn’t expect to see one from him this week.
Perfect 9 Pick: Jarryd Roughead

Scott Thompson finds himself the #2 player in Supercoach, with his average sitting at 133.7 for the year.

Captain Pick(s): After losing Swallow and Malckeski last week, the Suns now find themselves without Jack Martin, Steven May, Harley Bennell, Brandon Matera and Trent McKenzie. Prestia has always scored well against the Crows, and I suspect that the twin talls of Charlie Dixon and Tom J. Lynch will give the Crows defence some trouble again and likewise for the Crows, Taylor Walker could give the undermanned Suns some issues, he kicked 5 goals last time these teams met. Rory Sloane needs to bust out a big game after struggling over his last 2, but the player who looks to have the biggest boom potential is Scott Thompson, who has been thriving so far this year.
Perfect 9 Pick: Scott Thompson

Daniel Hannebery continued his fantastic play, scoring 144 Supercoach Points last week. He is currently the #6 ranked midfielder and is averaging 124.4 points per game and is the #4 ranked MID for total points scored, with 622 Supercoach Points.
Another poor game from Nathan Jones in Round 5, only scoring 66 Supercoach Points.

Captain Pick(s): Daniel Hannebery has been the #1 mid for the Swans this year, with a 3 game average of 132.6, so if you have him you’d have to give him a serious look. Lance Franklin hasn’t broken out this year yet, but if it’s a dry day in Melbourne he could give the Dees some trouble. Tom McDonald has been the best scorer for the Demons this year, when he’s scored above 100 it’s been at least 122 Supercoach Points, but for me personally, when I’m taking a flier on a VC pick, it’s for a big score, not the minimum I’d expect from my Captain.
Perfect 9 Pick: Daniel Hannebery

Captain Pick(s): Nat Fyfe is our guy, he’s been our guy all year and he’ll continue to be our guy in this game as well. Not to be overlooked though, David Mundy has been in terrific form too. For Essendon, we’ve seen Brendon Goddard start to round into some very good form and Dyson Heppell and Jobe Watson have proven why their great midfielders too. If you don’t have Fyfe, then you could give them thought as well.
Perfect 9 Pick: Nat Fyfe

Captain Pick(s): Probably the worst game you could think of to pick a Captain from this week, with both sides majorly struggling this year. Chris Judd has a massive career average against the Lions (though somewhat inflated due to that huge 232 point game), but even with that I wouldn’t feel comfortable picking him here. Likewise with Brisbane, apart from maybe taking a chance on Dayne Beams, I probably wouldn’t bother.
Perfect 9 Pick: Dayne Beams
Sunday, May 10, 4:10pm @ Adelaide Oval
Last time they met: Round 5, 2014: Port Adelaide DEFEATED West Coast 70-56
Key scores: Robbie Gray 139, Chris Masten 119, Brad Ebert/Ollie Wines 110, Jared Polec/Nic Naitanui 107
Things may be looking up for Robbie Gray now that the hardest part of Port’s schedule looks to be done. Many predicted doom and gloom for the early part of the year, but he’s managed to average 110.7 so far and only lost 30K on his initial starting price. He scored 134 against Adelaide last week and now has games against West Coast, Brisbane, Richmond and Melbourne over the next month.
He’s only 2 games into the season, but Matthew Lobbe finds his average sitting at 52.0 Supercoach Points, almost half of the 100.7 he averaged for 2014.
Key players:
PORT ADELAIDE
Robbie Gray Price – $566,500 – Avg 110.7 – BE 132 Last 3 VS West Coast: Rd 5, 2014: 139, Rd 5, 2013: 73, Rd 2, 2011: 94 Total VS West Coast Averages: 7 games, 93.4 Supercoach Points, High Score of 139 @ Adelaide Oval Averages: 116.7 Supercoach Points, High Score of 174 Travis Boak Price – $559,500 – Avg 105.4 – BE 64 Last 3 VS West Coast: Rd 5, 2014:97, Rd 5, 2013: 95, Rd 2, 2011: 94 Total VS West Coast Averages: 10 games, 97.2 Supercoach Points, High Score of 153 @ Adelaide Oval Averages: 115.4 Supercoach Points, High Score of 162 Brad Ebert Price – $515,300 – Avg 111.6 – BE 92 Last 3 VS West Coast: Rd 5, 2014: 110, Rd 5, 2013: 77, Rd 21, 2012: 80 Total VS West Coast Averages: 3 games, 89.0 Supercoach Points, High Score of 110 @ Adelaide Oval Averages: 101.0 Supercoach Points, High Score of 136
WEST COAST
Josh J. Kennedy Price – $489,300 – Avg 108.2 – BE 68 Last 3 VS Port Adelaide: Rd 5, 2014: 70, Rd 5, 2013: 124, Rd 2, 2011: 105 Total VS Port Adelaide Averages: 7 games, 85.1 Supercoach Points, High Score of 124 @ Adelaide Oval Averages: 127.0 Supercoach Points, High Score of 127 Matt Priddis Price – $535,200 – Avg 96.6 – BE 109 Last 3 VS Port Adelaide: Rd 5, 2014:96, Rd 5, 2013: 5, Rd 21, 2012: 107 Total VS Port Adelaide Averages: 10 games, 79.9 Supercoach Points, High Score of 108 @ Adelaide Oval Averages: 115.0 Supercoach Points, High Score of 115 Nic Naitanui Price – $453,500 – Avg 87.6 – BE 105 Last 3 VS Port Adelaide: Rd 5, 2014: 107, Rd 21, 2012: 94, Rd 2, 2011: 78 Total VS Port Adelaide Averages: 7 games, 79.7 Supercoach Points, High Score of 107 @ Adelaide Oval Averages: 133.0 Supercoach Points, High Score of 133Captain Pick(s): Robbie Gray would be the best bet here. He was fantastic against Adelaide in Round 5, winning the Showdown Medal and scored 134 Supercoach Points. Not to be outdone, Travis Boak has shown some great form over the past fortnight. I’d also expect someone like Schulz and Ryder to continue to stretch their opponents defence again as well.
Perfect 9 Pick: Robbie Gray
Barron Von Crow’s Captain Selection:
If it’s not broke, don’t fix it, so I’ll be running with the Scott Pendlebury VC, Nat Fyfe C ticket again in Round 6.
And that’ll be it for me this week. Who are you guys looking at for your Captain picks this week? Let us know in the comments below and I hope you have a ripper of a week in Supercoach and score all sorts of crazy points!

Spot on picks Barron Von Crow.
jimmydowland · 07/05/2015 at 18:20
Got Goodes and minson
what should i do
Crowmagnon · 07/05/2015 at 18:27
I traded Minson to Blicavs last week. So far so good.
Crowmagnon · 07/05/2015 at 18:26
Great work Barron! Goldy to Fyfe for me. Considering trading NVB to Dalhaus this week. Good idea?
Stickman · 07/05/2015 at 19:14
It seems as if NVB has peaked and Dahlhaus is one the way up so I would say that its valid.
TOPHAWK1 · 07/05/2015 at 18:32
CEY out with a hamstring injury. Anybody know how long he will be out for?
Sam · 07/05/2015 at 18:36
Says 2 weeks on Adelaide website
TOPHAWK1 · 07/05/2015 at 18:39
Not ideal! Anyway thankfully Sloane and Beams have been named. CEY can be used as a loophole option.
Cheers
dognino · 07/05/2015 at 18:54
No one I can loophole him with unfortunately . He plays before Heeney, Newton and krak who were on my bench. Just gotta take a chance on Heeney now and hopefully he doesn't put up another 7 lol
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 18:38
Probably just the week
BT · 07/05/2015 at 21:32
atleast 2
r2d2 · 07/05/2015 at 18:32
Pendles and gray for me
r2d2 · 07/05/2015 at 18:33
CEY ……. Any word on how long this hammy be keep him out for ??seemed too play out showdown quite well …is it a training inj ?
T.J.M · 07/05/2015 at 18:37
2 weels supposedly
BarronVonCrow · 07/05/2015 at 19:23
David Noble said it's similar to what Kyle Cheney had who missed the 2 weeks.
Ryan · 07/05/2015 at 18:37
Really not sure what to do.
Is JPK or Goddard a MUST this week? Who more?
Is it time to offload Griffin or Rich?
I'm also thinking of trading in Glenn as well as I would have picked him next week.
TOPHAWK1 · 07/05/2015 at 18:46
Its such a bloody tough call. I am soooo tempted to flick Griffin for Goddard it aint funny. The fact that Hawthorn are 2 premo onballers light this weekend, I would not be surprised if Griffen gets a bit of the pill. One more week Griffo! Last chance to shine.
Goddard might find it tougher to get the footy against Freo in Perth.
I reckon Rich is pretty close topping in price. He might be the bloke to trade out. And I am watching Glenn to see how he goes before he goes on the bubble.
Hope it helps.
Cheers
SideBySidebottom · 07/05/2015 at 19:05
Griffen will probably score well this week to raise your hopes and prolong the agony for you,
BarronVonCrow · 07/05/2015 at 19:28
Goddard has a BE of 69, so it's probably the best price you'll get him at for the next month or so.
Derek · 07/05/2015 at 20:12
He had a poor round 3 score, about 80 I think, so he only has to beat 80 to drop his BE for next week as well, we won’t get him any cheaper!
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 18:40
Pendles or Goldy to Fyfe for me.
Probably going Pendles because i'm going to the game tomorrow night and love watching games when i have a potential captain playing…
Go the pies!
Tulendeena · 07/05/2015 at 18:41
Still keen on Sloane into Fyfe
Ben Bretel · 07/05/2015 at 19:19
nah
T.J.M · 07/05/2015 at 18:42
Is it a good idea to loophole Lonie? If he stuffs up I can sub Salem on. I'm not convinced on Salem versing the Swans
Patch · 07/05/2015 at 18:56
Yes absolutely, TJM. I'm not sold on any Melbourne rooks bar Hogan this week. #PanicRoomPreviews
CJay · 07/05/2015 at 19:07
Thanks for the spoiler alert Patch…lol
BarronVonCrow · 07/05/2015 at 19:29
I loop wherever I can. Has worked out quite well for me over the past couple of weeks.
CJay · 07/05/2015 at 18:51
Nice work Barron.
Might roll the dice on a Swan into Fyfe combo for captain this week myself.
Had to do the double take with CEY being out for two weeks??
Was getting very comfortable with his points and cash generation on field.
BarronVonCrow · 07/05/2015 at 19:29
I was getting comfortable too CJay!
Mac · 07/05/2015 at 18:51
Do we trade Ellis Yolmen?
SideBySidebottom · 07/05/2015 at 19:10
Not yet.
Stickman · 07/05/2015 at 19:16
I'm keeping him his breakeven is only 21 and should appreciate for a few more weeks.
TOPHAWK1 · 07/05/2015 at 19:24
No way. Heaps more cash in this little cash cow! Super low be of 21. If his injury stretches more than 3 weeks, well then you may need to reassess.
But i would keep in on the bench for an emergency/captain loophole play for the next 2 weeks.
Cheers
Derek · 07/05/2015 at 20:06
Silly question
John · 07/05/2015 at 18:57
T.Miller or Heeney?
Stickman · 07/05/2015 at 19:17
I like Heeney because they are playing Melbourne but not sure Heeney's sub risk atm.
BarronVonCrow · 07/05/2015 at 19:29
I'm going for Miller this week. As Stickman said, Heeney has the sub risk.
Jim · 07/05/2015 at 18:58
should i get dangerfield in for sloane? thoughts
Traderlyf · 07/05/2015 at 19:02
no way
Jim · 07/05/2015 at 19:05
why not?
SideBySidebottom · 07/05/2015 at 19:13
Sideways waste of a trade,
Jacob · 07/05/2015 at 19:20
Sloane is a keeper!! He'll be a top 5 MID!
SideBySidebottom · 07/05/2015 at 19:23
But a rookie upgrade is the way to bring him in.
Donavan · 07/05/2015 at 20:20
The concern about Sloan is that he has scored so poorly once Thompson has rejoined the Crows. Thompson is playing Sloans role on the inside, and Sloan is running the wing, instead of the middle corridor of the ground.
That siad Sloan received a heavy knock early in the game against the Bulldogs, and many Crows went missing that day.
Derek · 07/05/2015 at 20:05
I worry Sloane, has Thompson and Dangerfield in guts taking points, plus Crouch will be back very soon.
Crows have easy draw next few games, but after that, tough
Stickman · 07/05/2015 at 19:12
Thinking of finally getting rid of Clem Smith. Thinking about trading him to Glenn, but dont want to trade into another dud who will get dropped.
What's everyone elses thoughts?
Cheers
Crowmagnon · 07/05/2015 at 19:20
I would try to wait a week to see if Glen at least plays 3 games.
Stickman · 07/05/2015 at 19:32
If not Glenn would Boekhorst be a valid option?
Crowmagnon · 07/05/2015 at 19:44
No. He is a spud. If you have cover, Hold Smith. If you need a warm body this week, Glen is your man. Only go a week early if you really need to. Anything could happen in a week.
Stickman · 07/05/2015 at 20:03
That is true, I just really want to get rid of him ASAP.
Rob · 07/05/2015 at 19:13
Is Andrew Swallow to Ebert a good trade?
Traderlyf · 07/05/2015 at 19:18
yep
TOPHAWK1 · 07/05/2015 at 19:21
Yes. Ebert is super consistent. Have a look at Dylan Shiel as well. He ticks most boxes too.
Cheers
Rob · 07/05/2015 at 19:31
The only thing with SHiel is his lowest score is against sydney and he got 50 or something around there. He scores his high scores against the bottom 6 teams
TOPHAWK1 · 07/05/2015 at 19:41
Yes this is true in most part. Except for last week. GWS got absolutely smashed by the Eagles in Perth (No top 8 team either mind you) by 87 points and he still scored his average of 119 SC points. That performance has put him on my radar.
Cheers
TOPHAWK1 · 07/05/2015 at 19:19
How does the community rate Dylan Shiel?
Currently averages 120 SC points which included a 52 SC spud in one of his games. Is this bloke the real deal? (keeper)
Considering his high average and his current price at 537K and a b/e of 57 this week, he does seem to tick all the boxes.
The fact that GWS will play hawthorn with a depleted midfield (Lewis/Hodge out) this week, could this be the time to get this bloke in?
Any thoughts?
Billy · 07/05/2015 at 19:41
Rate him and think he will continue to score well but stick to proven ultra premos in the guts.
The midfield is a not a place to try and take risks IMHO.
Stick with Fyfe, pendles, sloane, jelwood, JPK, Lewis etc;
TOPHAWK1 · 07/05/2015 at 19:46
Cheers mate.
I have Fyfe, Pendles and Sloane already. Instead of putting in Shiel this week, who would you pick? Jelwood or JPK?
Lewis not an option at this time, due to his suspension.
Thanks
Tyler · 07/05/2015 at 20:05
I reckon personally Selwood is a better pick up. He is almost guaranteed top 10 if not for the whole year than at least from now on.
r2d2 · 07/05/2015 at 23:05
Wait a week or 2 on Selwood , will drop some more
Donavan · 07/05/2015 at 20:17
I rate Shiel highly, in his poor game (against Sydney) he received an amazingly tight tag.
Shiel gets some ball himself, but is the GWS's #1 target for handball receives out of stoppages, and usually finds space & time to dispose well.
TOPHAWK1 · 07/05/2015 at 20:31
Thanks mate.
I have a gut feeling that Shiel is the guy that goes "Ultra premo" this year.
You must always look forward. Yes, your midfield must have "past proven" performers, but also "future proven" performers.
The "future proven" performers are harder to pick, but set you apart from the crowd that focuses only on "past proven" performers .
Cheers
Patch · 07/05/2015 at 21:30
I love your gutsy thinking Tophawk. He's had an easy start to the year, and I reckon you've missed his biggest scores, but this kid can play. Supercoach is a game of the bold and he who blinks first loses. Back your gut on him. That's reason I've kept Wines (well that and trades). It may backfire, but if he dominates against the Hawks I would absolutely look at trying to get him into my side.
r2d2 · 07/05/2015 at 23:07
Spewing I traded out wines ,,,would I be mad to get him back after his 1st game back …. Maybe for a Cripps or rich
Mac · 07/05/2015 at 19:32
Thoughts on Goodes and Salem to McKenzie and Glen?
Traderlyf · 07/05/2015 at 19:37
wait a week
Sam · 07/05/2015 at 19:47
Don’t like those trades
Jackson · 07/05/2015 at 19:33
Stefan Martin?
Now leuey is back does it mean stefan Martin will struggle to score good?
BarronVonCrow · 07/05/2015 at 19:43
I suspect Leuy will be spending plenty of time forward. They're lacking height up there.
Donavan · 07/05/2015 at 20:13
No, Martin is by far the #1 ruck, Luey will play forward 80% of the time.
Ben Bretel · 07/05/2015 at 19:34
boys
option 1
mgrath to kennedy gives me krack on bench in forward line dont have bench cover in fwd
option 2
yolmen to kennedy
and hogan to goddard
Donavan · 07/05/2015 at 20:14
Option 1, dont trade Hogan yet, still plenty of $$ to make.
Patch · 07/05/2015 at 21:32
Keep Hogan. Goddard should sit in that price bracket for a few weeks, give or take 20k. So option 1.
Billy · 07/05/2015 at 19:36
Rate him and think he will continue to score well but stick to proven ultra premos in the guts.
The midfield is a not a place to try and take risks IMHO.
Stick with Fyfe, pendles, sloane, jelwood, JPK, Lewis etc;
SideBySidebottom · 07/05/2015 at 19:42
Lewis is the odd one out there, unless he's polishing their boots. The others have consistently averaged over 100, Lewis has done it only once and he's 28.
SideBySidebottom · 07/05/2015 at 19:36
Is Sloane good to go? He may be my only trade this week.
BarronVonCrow · 07/05/2015 at 19:43
Noble said on the radio about 30 minutes ago that he was. Still, anything could happen between now and Saturday.
Sam · 07/05/2015 at 19:45
Keep
SideBySidebottom · 07/05/2015 at 19:50
Thanks Sam but I'm looking at trading him in, not out.
Northernsoul74 · 07/05/2015 at 20:08
Hasn't Sloane got a massive break even?
Traderlyf · 07/05/2015 at 20:16
yeah his BE is like 215
SideBySidebottom · 07/05/2015 at 21:40
Ouch.
Traderlyf · 07/05/2015 at 19:37
1
Milesy · 07/05/2015 at 19:38
Keep or trade Lewis????????!?
Sam · 07/05/2015 at 19:43
Keep
BarronVonCrow · 07/05/2015 at 19:44
Keep.
Pauly Walnuts · 07/05/2015 at 20:06
i'm keeping to the end, he will come back big time
Mighty_Hondo · 08/05/2015 at 00:15
indeed, I'm hoping he'll be very hungry for some pill
Harrison · 07/05/2015 at 20:44
keep for sure only 2wks mate, wack him on the bench for now
BigDropKick · 07/05/2015 at 19:40
I have Hogan , Clark , Krakouer and Salem , need two on field and one as emergency …. any thoughts appreciated , thanks
Hamish · 07/05/2015 at 19:49
Salam and Krakour, Clark as emergency
Jacob · 07/05/2015 at 20:11
Hogan and Krakouer. Salem a big risk of being subbed out after his concussion last week.
Redgumwon · 08/05/2015 at 13:27
Clark is due to fire out a big score. Tonight might be the night if he put together 4 quarters of footy
Sam · 07/05/2015 at 19:43
What do u guys think of these trades??
Salem to Goddard
and Griffen to JPK
Redgumwon · 08/05/2015 at 13:28
I like it Sam
Jack · 07/05/2015 at 19:44
Who to have on field out of R Tarrant & M Clark?
Sam · 07/05/2015 at 19:49
Tarrant
Hamish · 07/05/2015 at 19:49
Robbin tarrant
Redgumwon · 08/05/2015 at 13:28
Clark
brook · 07/05/2015 at 19:55
now that goodes is named, thinking of trading him down to mckenzie if he is the sub. both in same game so will have that info … otherwise they will be same price in a couple of weeks
Derek · 07/05/2015 at 20:00
CEY not playing. Don’t mind that, will give me a loophole plus he will fatten up a bit later than other cas cows , plus the rest will do him good
CJay · 07/05/2015 at 20:12
Yeah good call Derek.
First reaction was disappointment (probably as I wan't expecting it) but will probably loophole as well.
Derek · 07/05/2015 at 20:25
Everyone has CEY, so no real loss
Rick Grimes · 08/05/2015 at 09:26
The real POD might be to trade him. Who is to say he'll be back in two weeks. Could get vested, might have to fight his way back in.
Mac · 07/05/2015 at 20:00
Trade Goodes to McKenzie?
brook · 07/05/2015 at 20:07
i think i will if goodes is the sub … just watched mck tac highlights and looks good! not that you can take much from that
Declan · 07/05/2015 at 20:56
Goodes will loose cash this week so to save money i did that exact trade this week instead of next
tom · 07/05/2015 at 20:02
Currently have to field K-Mac as I only have Brown and cover so was wondering if it was worth upgrading him this week?
thoughts?
Phil · 07/05/2015 at 20:27
I'd back in K-Mac Tom, his season average is above 70 so technically he's only 15-20 points off the defence premiums and I'm sure you'd have a bigger worry than that on the other lines.
Tyler · 07/05/2015 at 20:09
Brett Goodes named. Should we drop I now before he loses money?
Tyler · 07/05/2015 at 20:38
Woops should I drop him now?
Declan · 07/05/2015 at 20:57
I have mate, really up to you though. BE of 98 doesn't look good
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 22:25
Drop him for Mckenzie
FootyFanatic · 07/05/2015 at 20:09
Does anyone reckon T.Mitchell will stay in Sydney's side? I really want to trade him into my forward line (next round) but am uncertain that whether he'll be in Sydney's side for the rest of the year.
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 22:24
Don't trade him in unless your certain he'll play. Nothing worse then trading him in to find out he gets dropped in a few weeks
Dean · 07/05/2015 at 20:10
I'm stuck as what I should do as I have Goodes, Van Berlo & Minson who is really starting to annoy me on the Emergency list. Also I have 27 trades left and $69,000 in the warchest…
This is my current side:
DEFENCE
Shaw, Oxley, Lumumba
Saad, McIntosh, Newnes
EMG
Geary, Goodes
MIDFIELD
Fyfe, Pendles, Sloane, JPK
Beams, Vandenberg, Cripps, Heeney
EMG
Ellis-Yolmen, Miller, Van Berlo
RUCK
Goldy, Minson
EMG
Read
FORWARD
Swan, Martin, Gray
Hogan, TBC, Krakouer
EMG
Lonie, Clark
Option 1: No trades and move TBC into my ruck AGAIN
Option 2: Trade out Goodes to McKenzie as it looks like he will be SUB although with his high 98 BE chances are he will drop again in price and generate $110k.
Option 3: Trade out NVB to McKenzie, then swap McKenzie to bring Newnes in my Midfield then trade out Newnes for either Mundy, Dangerfield, Shiel, Hippell, Ebert or Goddard and use Geary in defence as my D6 to replace Newnes.
brook · 07/05/2015 at 20:16
wait on final teams for option 2 … i will most likely hold if goodes is not the sub and do it the next week … may lose a bit of cash but worth it for extra game into mckenzie
Mac · 07/05/2015 at 20:17
Option 3. I Like either Mundy or Heppel
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 22:24
Goodes down to Mckenzie then upgrade Minson to Goldy or NVB to a premium mid like JPK
Dean · 08/05/2015 at 00:18
I have Goldy and JPK
Jack · 07/05/2015 at 20:13
Can somebody please help explain how the emergency Loophole works?
Does it work if I have Tom Lamb playing on field and Salem and Clark as my emergencies then I will get the bigger score out of Salem and Clark?
I don't want to stuff it up and cost myself points.
Cheers
Donavan · 07/05/2015 at 20:32
Jack,
You would need to have Clark as the Emergency. If he scores well you put Lamb on the ground and get Clarks score (ensure you just use the 1 emergency in the forward line).
If you think Salem is likely to score better than Clark's score, then put Salem on the ground, and so long as all your on-ground players score, then you wont take Clarks score (as the emergency).
Phil · 07/05/2015 at 20:32
No you must name only 1 emergency for it to work. If Clark and Salem are the two guys you're undecided on starting name the one that plays first (Clark) emergency. Then if Clark goes well (70+ or whatever you're happy with) then you put Lamb on the field so that Clark replaces him.
If Clark spuds it (-60) then you can put Salem on the field and Lamb off the field. Hope this helps
Hamish · 07/05/2015 at 20:33
Yeah mate what you said is right
Tyler · 07/05/2015 at 20:36
How it works is you have a non-playing player on field, that will play after one of your players on the bench. Set the 'E' on the player on the bench. Have another player on the bench who will play after the emergency player, but before the non-playing player.
Then during the rolling lockout:
If the emergency players scores well leave your team as it is. You will get the emergency players score.
If the emergency player does not score well, sub the non playing player for the other playing player on your bench. You will get the player who was subbed on's score.
So in your case, you would put Lamb on-field, with the 'E' on Clark, and have Salem on the bench with Clark. If clark does not score well or you think Salem will outscore Clark, sub salem on-field for Lamb.
Hope you understood, It wasn't easy trying to explain how it works. Good Luck!
Also if you have 2 emergency players you get the lower score
Jack · 07/05/2015 at 20:49
Thanks guys, understand how it all works now. Appreciate it
Liam · 07/05/2015 at 20:15
Great stuff Baron
Just wondering what you think we should do with CEY since he is not playing.
trade or Hold???
brook · 07/05/2015 at 20:19
says hamstring … hold unless its a tear. … need to check that one myself … would hold this week anyway
Donavan · 07/05/2015 at 20:28
Hold, out for 2 weeks only, and plenty of cash still to made from him.
BarronVonCrow · 07/05/2015 at 23:20
Holding him for 2 week injury.
Girdle · 07/05/2015 at 20:15
Would I be out of place in asking for a "trading thread" each week? I love these articles but the comments become a sea of trading questions after the first ten members.
Donavan · 07/05/2015 at 20:25
Who do I play on-field in the forward line?
Certainties – Goddard, Franklin, Gray, Tarrant
and need to select 2 from – Hogan, Krakouer, Lonie & Clark
No loopholes available.
Appreciate the communities thoughts, thanks.
Dean · 07/05/2015 at 20:42
Hogan a must and out of Krakour, Lonie & Clark flip a coin as any one of them can score decent scores.
However if it helps I will be going in with Hogan & Krakouer
TOPHAWK1 · 07/05/2015 at 20:48
I have those guys except Lonie. I dont have a loophole possibility either.
At this stage I am playing Hogan and Clark.
If I had Lonie, I would play him ahead of Clark. But beggars cant be choosers! lol
I reckon Hogan and Lonie on the field for your side.
Just my take though.
Cheers
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 22:20
Hogan and Krak is what i'm going with
Traderlyf · 07/05/2015 at 20:39
downgrade goodes to mckenzie then see if you can upgrade NVB to a prem mid
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 22:18
Yep and upgrade NVB to JPK
Francis · 07/05/2015 at 20:42
Downgrade Lumumba to McKenzie? Has a giant BE and has been a real disappointment. Do we think he'll pick up? Is he even worthy of being a Top 6 Defender come finals time?
SideBySidebottom · 07/05/2015 at 21:51
Flick Lumumba.
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 22:17
Hold Lumumba, downgrade a cash cow to Mckenzie
Charlesy · 07/05/2015 at 20:43
Hi Community. I’m not doing this but it’s an idea for you guys to consider. If you have a dpp in defence like Hodge newnes saad etc and you’re looking to get Mc Kenzie in to make some cash this week or next, consider bringing him into your midfield. This can open up options for you which may help in case of injury in similar ways to having mids that can go forward. This may even extend to you having newnes or even saad if his form warrants it as your M7/8/9 or D7/8 at finals time. Good insurance and possibly save you trades? Like I said I m probably not doing it myself but thought I’d share it.
Charlesy · 07/05/2015 at 20:51
Sorry meant mid 9/10/11 for finals. Obviously you’d have 8 premo mids on field. Got the numbers wrong but you know what I mean. Lol
TOPHAWK1 · 07/05/2015 at 20:58
I agree.
Its already part of my strategy. Just sitting back this week to see how Newnes and Mckenzie go this round.
After this round, it should become a lot clearer on which midfield rookies to harvest and whether the Newnes-Mc Kenzie combo is viable.
Big round this one!
Cheers
anthonyc12 · 07/05/2015 at 20:48
Pendles into Fyfe for me, and I think that's how it will be most weeks for me.
They are the only 2 that seem to be reliable enough to get you a captain worthy score most weeks. (At least not a sub 100)
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 22:16
Agreed
BarronVonCrow · 07/05/2015 at 23:19
Yep. I think Fyfe hasn't had a score below 100 this year, so worst comes to the worst you'll at least get SOME points from it. Not the best, but won't bomb out like I have with Sloane for example.
Nash · 07/05/2015 at 20:53
Barron need your help mate
Salem to JPK (sydney)
Salem to Pridds
Salem to Goodard.
Am still really stuck on it.
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 22:16
If you can get another one next week, i'd get Goddard this week and JPK next because JPK could stay around the same price whereas Goddard will rise rapidly after this week.
If you can only bring in one of them i'd jump on JPK
BarronVonCrow · 07/05/2015 at 23:19
Yep, KingWinter7 probably hit it perfectly.
Westy · 07/05/2015 at 20:54
First week not trading
DEF Hibberd, Oxley, Simpson, Saad, Ibbotson, Newnes (McIntosh, H Goddard)
MID Mundy, Pendlebury, Sloane, D Beams, Vandenberg, Cripps, Miller, Heeney (Lewis, CEY, N Krak)
RUC Goldstein, Mumford (Cox)
FWD Swan, B Goddard, Bontempelli, R Gray, Hogan, Tarrant (Lamb, Salem)
23 trades left 78K in bank, rank 4,509. I am in awe of those players who may have only made a couple of trades and are top 1%.
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 22:14
Fyfe and Dusty are your priority players to bring in.
Next week bring in Glenn and Mckenzie for cash cows, should leave you with about 450k
Then upgrade the week after to Fyfe and Dusty
Westy · 07/05/2015 at 22:52
It's good to be the King.
Currently have 12 on the pine in round 12 with 4 of them in the mids and 5 down back. Fyfe, McKenzie and Glenn are also Round 12 byes, so if I'm moving things round, they'd probably be replacing any of Ibbotson, Newnes, Saad or Oxley down back, and Miller or Heeney in the mids. CEY is probably one I'd move out in round 11 perhaps based on a FWD swing.
It will be interesting to see whether Rockliff starts to ton up and when GAJ makes a return.
I've looked at Mundy as my shark v shoal for Fyfe, with the intent to bring Fyfe in for Round 13.
Westy · 07/05/2015 at 23:00
Is it just me or does anyone think Dusty and Eminem could have been separated at birth?
Dean · 07/05/2015 at 23:22
Your doing well to be ranked under 5000 with your side mate you must of had the gun rookies on at the right time.
You really need to concentrate on your midfield as thats where the bulk of your points will come from, your midfield is a little weak so try boost that up at the latest by next week by adding 1 extra premo such as Ffyfe.
However your quite low on trades, im presuming your in it for a league win, if so save those trades.
Anders · 07/05/2015 at 20:57
G'day guys just need help as to what to do with Jack Newnes got $207k in the bank and im not sure who to bring? Cheers
SideBySidebottom · 07/05/2015 at 21:58
Hold.
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 22:11
Hold, use the money to upgrade a cash cow
dognino · 07/05/2015 at 22:25
I'm goin newnes down to Mckenzie to build the warchest. Newnes will be on the bench for me anyway
Sana · 07/05/2015 at 21:05
Ok, considering Paddy Ryder in my fwd line as I don’t have a backup ruck (Goldy and Maric are my rucks with Read to swing if need be). But! Goddard is the same price with probably a higher ceiling.
What are your thoughts community? Ryder fwd and backup ruck or Goddard with no backup ruck?
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 22:11
Goddard easily, most people don't have a backup ruck anyway
Tofor · 07/05/2015 at 21:05
Want to make one trade this week. Holding Lewis on the pine.
Bringing in Pendlebury.
Who would you trade out from the following options;
1. Jack Martin (via Fwd/Mid Swing)
2. Daniel Rich
3. Ryan Griffen
Also, who to have on the field out of Mitch Clark, Hogan, Krak and Lonie. Pick two.
Love to hear your thoughts.
Donavan · 07/05/2015 at 21:52
Trade Griffen.
Play Hogan & Lonie.
SideBySidebottom · 07/05/2015 at 22:02
Griffen.
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 22:10
Trade Martin for Pendles
Hogan and Krak on the field
hearsay · 07/05/2015 at 21:07
When can we expect the podcast?
Bob · 07/05/2015 at 21:10
G'day community, I want to trade Salem this week to get some cash in the kitty. Salem is in my forward line. I want a rookie to downgrade to. I already have Krak and Tarrant.
Any thoughts.
@KingWinter7 · 07/05/2015 at 22:03
Swap him with a midfield / forward dpp (krak, lambert) and trade him down to Glenn
Bob · 07/05/2015 at 22:10
Thanks King but I don't have any dpp midfielders
tom · 07/05/2015 at 21:33
If I have the trades and cash to upgrade McIntosh this week should I?
not sure wether to wait for him to make more cash or pull the trigger early to try and help my ranking.
Gold Rush · 07/05/2015 at 21:43
if the player your going to upgrade to is also going up in price (e.g. Pittard), why not. If McIntosh does not score well this week he will be the number rookie dumped next week. If he goes like he did R1 well then you lose out on big cash generation.
tom · 07/05/2015 at 21:45
thats my only worry Gold Rush but if I dont upgrade this week I will most likely have to keep on playing 3 rookies down back for another 2 weeks as I am hoping for a double downgrade next week in Glenn and Mckenzie.
Gold Rush · 07/05/2015 at 21:50
Got the same problem tom. I'm in the SC Cup but have a bye this week – otherwise I was seriously thinking about taking a punt doing a trade.
Jack · 07/05/2015 at 21:43
I’m not sure whether to upgrade bellchambers to goldy or upgrade him to mummy for 100k cheaper which would allow me to upgrade Salem to a premo the following week. Do people think goldy and mummy will have a similar output from here on out?
Dean · 07/05/2015 at 23:26
Mummy is a dud, the guy usually plays real well in the first 6 to 10 games then tapers off. Goldy is the MUST have ruck this season.
jesse · 07/05/2015 at 21:48
tex – fyfe for me thought?
BarronVonCrow · 07/05/2015 at 23:18
Could certainly do worse! I like the risk on Tex with the safety of Fyfe.
brook · 07/05/2015 at 22:17
whats the go with sc cup? do i need to be a news subscriber?
Gold Rush · 07/05/2015 at 22:23
yes, but it's too late for you as draw was determined from r5 results.
Ryan · 07/05/2015 at 22:21
Who's the #1 Defender to bring in? (I have Taylor and McDonald)
Disco · 07/05/2015 at 22:38
picken for me,has an ok run and previous points support,but I needed someone for hodge (and lewis) ,
haven't heard anything nice said about picken so im happy to go fishin on him.
really like McGovern too but he may need a rest.
Westy · 07/05/2015 at 23:03
Picken – an interesting POD. No one has really rated him, and given the Dogs have been flying, it could be inspired.
TheCompletePackage · 08/05/2015 at 23:23
Got him in myself as well….need to be brave.
Disco · 07/05/2015 at 23:01
sry, vc pick danger c pick danger:)…or fyfe or gray
tigga · 07/05/2015 at 23:02
Hey community just wondering if you could trade in any defender atm who you think will be within the top 10 defenders at the end of the year and with price not being an issue, who would it be???
dean · 07/05/2015 at 23:51
"Matthew Bontempelli" a bit of a typo there lol 🙂
Should i pick up JPK this week if i can
Jono · 08/05/2015 at 06:32
Community….Dahlhaus or Goddard???
Nick · 08/05/2015 at 07:05
Thoughts andrew swallow to Godard?
Tom · 08/05/2015 at 07:28
Salem to Glen via DPP?
Rick Grimes · 08/05/2015 at 10:24
Who is a bigger priority this week – Pendles or Goddard?
SideBySidebottom · 08/05/2015 at 15:29
Pendles. He brings a captaincy option.
Josh · 08/05/2015 at 11:32
Is Salem to Ziebell in forward line and Heeney to Glenn in midfield good trades?
Rick Grimes · 08/05/2015 at 11:48
Is Zeibell a top 6 forward? Take away his spud score and it all looks good, but just have some doubt there. Heeney has a lot more cash left in him. If he tons up this weekend, I think a few will be cursing themselves – big "if" I know, but it's already happened a couple of times this season.
Derma147 · 08/05/2015 at 12:04
Build the kitty or upgrade to a premo?
Gordo D Magnificent · 08/05/2015 at 14:22
What do i do with Kelly, as doc's listed him as 3 weeks out now. Do i trade him? and if so, who 2?
jimmydowland · 08/05/2015 at 15:53
