PODCAST: Second bye round Gawn.
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Two down. And one to go.
And didn’t big Max Gawn put his hand up against the Cats on Sunday!
He features this week, as does discussion around the likes of Joel Selwood, Ryan Griffen, Patrick Cripps and Jack Newnes. We whack some of these blokes under the microscope this week and ask a very important question. Are they keepers? Which should we keep? Which should we slaughter?
Proud of some of the results coming through after a shocking round. Let’s get stuck into the show my friends.
Jock Reynolds.
Thanks to our ripping Sunday night podcast sponsor – exoticlimo.com.au
Ooh can I be the first comment? I actually like Christensen, not just for numbers but for flexibility. Rotating him and Steele may be integral to ultimate success
Zorko would be a better pick IMO – And he has the identical FWD/MID swing
i agree. ive had zorko since the start and hes finally repaying the faith
never
Love him as well. thinking Boomer as a M9 instead.
im looking at Steele and Lambert for the same thing
Picken or rance?
Picken or Houli it is for me… Am thinking Picken. Doggies draw looks good.
Picken
Neither… Simpson, Houli, Shaw, Enright, Hodge. One of those.
Picken, he is playing as a midfielder
Thank god Yr OK Jock! I wasn’t sure if the interweb in Timor was broken, but I heard nothing from the community since last Sunday. Did yourself, Crouching & Higgo nominate yrslves as round 12 byers and head away on a little boys retreat perhaps?
Looking for some advice this week community, 10 trades left, 402k in the war chest and one upgrade to be done. Currently ranked 800th.
I'm looking to bring in Montagna, but can only do so, trading out Heeney who's meant to be back this week (and great bench cover),
OR
I can trade out Anderson to Sloane (unlikely to play another game) and have Heeney, Boston and Glenn as bench cover in the mids. Thoughts/ideas?
Defence:
Shaw, Enright, Simpson, TMac, Picken, Lever (Brown, Pearce)
Midfield:
Fyfe, Pendles, Beams, Ward, Danger, JPK, Wallis, Boston (Heeney, Anderson, Glenn)
Ruck:
Goldy, Nic Nat (Brooksby)
Forward:
Dusty, Gray, Lids, Goddard, Swanny, T.Mitchell (Steele, Read)
As always, look forward to the podcast Jock. Highlight of a sunday night, just stressing out over this decision this week!
Sloane and Montagna should score pretty much the same. Just depends if you want to spend an extra 100k for a POD.
With Mitchell and Goodes unlikely to be dropped, does Heeney get a game without a sub?, even though he's a gun, not sure if he's an automatic pick in their best 21.
How highly do you rate Boston's job security?
Reckon it's worth chipping out Boston/Heeney for a POD in montagna or pocketing the coin and going Sloane?
Not sure on their injury list, but short term he's a lock in their team. Personally i'm deciding between Sloane, Steven or Hannebery this week and leaning towards Sloane purely because he's to cheap to ignore.
Gold coast have a lot of players on the brink of returning. Harley Bennell, Josh Glenn, Steven May, Jack Martin, Alex Sexton, David Swallow and Rory Thompson all listed between 1-2 weeks off. Then I think I heard Gazza is thinking of returning to playing this week. So I don't rate his js right now
Heeney will very likely return through the 2s given his time out, and is not a certainty to fit back in the team. As you say Goodes is firing and if Mitchell ditches his over the shoulder hoist when he feels pressured then he’ll also stay in the team. Heeney is a big vest risk at best imo.
Is sloane 100k cheaper than Montagna? If so, it's an absolute no brainer Sloane for me
Get lambert on your mid bench as swinger
Sloane!
I always planned to bring in Smith in round 13 but im now second guessing myself.
He’s bottomed out in price
Should only go up from here
He got 22 touches this week, it was only his disposal efficiency that hurt his score. Once he gets back into the swing of things, he'll be a 90+ averaging defender.
get him in !
gday community, who should upgrade lumumba for, already got shaw, burgoyne, newnes, smith, simpson on field
Hodge
Agreed Hodge is your man.
im looking at Malceski next week
this week you could look at Andrew Walker as a POD
Tarrent to Gawn
Or
Tarrant to the Bont
Which is better? Please comment!?
neither, both are bad trades. bont and gawn are not going to be top 10 in there respective lines
Who should I get then?
Already have swan, Gray, Dalhaus, franklin and Martin
I need one more to complete the forward line
Goddard for sure..Or Mitchell but still have some concerns with him!
When you're trading a player in, Don't worry if they'll be top 10 come end of year, just worry about if they will be top 10 from here on out. Which if Gawn can keep this scoring up he will be
You don't need the absolute best players to win Supercoach, Amon
Stupid to trade Gawn in this week. Alot of better fwd's to pick then Bont.
Bont, Gawn isn't a keeper
Whilst i tend to agree. Steff martin was in a similar position las year. And didnt miss a 100
He was a bit cheaper though, you're paying a bit over $400k for a risk remember, it could go right or wrong
Yea this is true, but could certainly be a decent option for those still with reed at M3? could provide some great cover coming towards the end of the year.
Don't forget that Geelong don't really have what we'd call a regulation ruckman. Will Gawn play that well against Goldy or a good regulation ruckman? I'd pass on Gawn
Do you think josh Kennedy will be a top 10 mid by seasons end?
Deciding btw Kennedy, Hannebery, Mundy or Deledio
I seriously doubt it. Hope I'm wrong as I started with him. Reckon Hanners is worth the money. Of course Sloane is the bargain buy mid premo this week which I'd be advocating all coaches get him in this week who don't already have him.
Thanks guys. yeah I’ve got Sloane already last week. Can afford $600k. I was leaning toward Hannebery too but at $486k, Kennedy prepresents great value.
And will complete full premo this week with Cripps m8
Sloane or Parker?
Both
For most coaches I still reckon it's hard to go past Sloanedog for sheer value. Currently only owned by less than 10% of teams although no doubt that % will increase significantly this week and next.
I obviously rate Parker highly too so that could be a sneaky shark move for some whilst everybody else is trading in Sloane, JPK or Pendles.
As you know I already have both in my side so thankfully not a decision I have to wrestle over this week.
Possibly, but I'd prefer Hannebery over him
Out of those 4, i'd pick Hannebery!. JPK's a bargain, but i'd rather Selwood or Sloane at that price. WIth Hannebery, Parker and Mitchell all having career best seasons, think it's taking away from JPK.
AGREEED.
I cannot see JPK finishing in the top 10 especially at the rate he is going, however I wouldn't be trading him out.
at such a bargain its hard to say no to JPK
Just listened to the podcast and Jock said you should nearly have a full premo team.
I have4 or 3 rookies still in the side.
With 140K how would i downgrade to make money and then upgrade Rookies to Premos
BACK: Shaw, simpson, newnes, Hibbered, Lever,Saad ( Pearce and hamling)
Mid: Fyfe, selwood, Brandon Ellis, D.Mckenzie, Kennedy, Shiel, Cripps, Priddis( CEY, Dumont, Blakely)
Ruck: Blicavs, Nicnat( read)
FWD: Roughy, Martin, Bont, Gray, Franklin,Dahlhausl( Steel and lambert)
Any suggestions?
Not easy you'll need to wait a few weeks and hopefully your rookies fatten fast. Look to trade CEY out and bring in Sloane as this will be the cheapest you'll get him.
Look to trade out Mckenzie and get Beasley in to start.
Downgrade Saad to H Goddard maybe
Bont out for Sloane?? or is Bonts next heap of games going to see him score well???
Mav Weller will tag him next week.
If you have a full premium team, go for it.
Sorry, that reply was for skindog.
if you have bont hold
Reason Wheels?? talk me into it!!!
when u got the bont you would have expected him to be a keeper premo… you should stick to this plan and find another way to get Sloan. your team will be better for having both players, rather than one
Cheers Wheels, nuff said,,,,
Love the call in Pieman!
No doubt a very cathartic experience for you. 🙂
In fact superb podcast all round gents and was worth a second listen for sure.
Sloane or Montagna this week? Currently ranked 800th, lock in a POD?
Can't go past Sloane for value. Monty had a purple patch last season but then that dried up with many coaches ultimately ruing the decision to make the POD trade in there.
Of course no reason history must repeat in 2015 but you would be paying top dollar for Monty right now so you need to be pretty sure about him to pull the trigger there if you ask me.
Sloane for me Josh, cant go past the price tag, for me its Bont out Sloane in! but then theres JPK as well??
Sloan
whats the news on ablett?
The news is you’d have to be mad to risk it.
he could be back this week or next. I'd consider saving a premium spot in the midfield for him.
Selwood-Sloane?
hold selwood
Should I bring in Kade Simpson as a premo? or someone like Bachar houli? who should i get? (Already have hodge and Shaw)
Have a lot more faith in Simpson than Houli
If you can afford him
I have lewis griffen and selwood. Should i go griffen to pendles? Only problem is he just got a 120. Any thoughts?
That's exactly what Jock is planning to do this week if you heard the podcast so you know you will be in good company if you make that call.
Griffen is too consistent to be a premo keeper after 12 weeks of data, as an 88 average just doesn't cut it for your midfield.
So you will probably need to upgrade him to a proper premo at some point and his Rd13 bye this week will present the perfect opportunity for many.
griffen to pendles = lock trade
would rather let selwood go Griff will step up
my midfielid is- Lewis, selwood, fyfe, pendles, jpk, beams and danger. Who should I get for my 8th midfield spot? not worried about byes and cash who do I get?
Sloane or Parker?
I'm personally waiting for Ablett and seeing if he recovers. Other than that you should look at Hanneberry, Sloane and Pridis
silly waiting on ablett, with his BE so large you wouldnt bring him in for at least 3 weeks. in that meantime your missingt out on a m8 premo score.
get full premo then look to upgrade a rookie to ablett or your current m8
Is bont a keeper as a F6? If not who do I get in? already have Franklin, Swan, Daulhause, Martin and gray!
Would keep the faith for now especially with the Doggies favourable upcoming draw. If he can't average at least 90 over the next month then I think he's probably outstayed his welcome at that point and you could look to move him on for a Floghard or Lids type.
hope it works as i am looking at same trade option
hold the bont
Hold, not worth a trade.
Have 13 trades left,want sloane but thinking of holding cripps as will be 500 k soon. I might sideways to him, who out of Jpk, selwood and leiws should I sideways with? or just a no?
no
Cripps has a BE of 41
Hold him this week, as soon as he stinks it up then trade him out
Do we need to be getting to full premium as quick as possible or should we be looking to save trades by waiting for our rookies to fully fatten?
Cheers community
Yes but depends on your goal.
Some are going for rank and have been trading aggressively. For league, you can wait til they flatten but sometimes you just don’t know if they will go up more.
Eg. Dumont and Bailey dale- vested a lot and can’t trust.
Hogan, Cripps- can wait for sure as they are scoring well and could be in your final team as well
full premo
Smith, Hannebery and Dalhous in for Griffen, McIntosh and Ellis-Yolmen.
Nice trades. Ditch t griff
Good trades. I will be holding Grif though.
As always I loved the Podcast guys. Hope you all had a great weekend.
im currently ranked 2444 so realistically im most likely out of the contention for overall rank right?
I have 11 trades left and 263k in the war chest. However if I stick to my bye strategy structure this would require me to traded out CEY, Lumumba & Krakouer to bring in Hodge, Sloane & Lambert or Steele in this week, which will leave me with 8 trades left over and my team will be as follows:
DEFENCE:- Hodge, Shaw, Houli, Simpson, Saad, Hamling:- (Pearce, Lever)
MIDFIELD:- Fyfe, Danger, Priddis, Pendles, Beams, Sloane, JPK, Parker:- (Boston, Stretch, Lambert)
RUCK:- Goldy, Blicvas:- (Read)
FORWARDS:- Martin, Gray, Dahlhaus, Swan, Edwards, TBC:- (Dale, Clark)
I still need to upgrade TBC to Goddard and in defence I need to upgrade Saad & a rookie before my team is really full premo.
I would only have $117k left over after these trades if I took that route.
I need a little advice community as what you think is best, as I am not really sure what I should do, should I trade the 3 this week or only play for league and trade cautiously. Lastly are there better trading options you prefer. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Id waste 3 trades on belch
Looks like BC has to go now, out for 8-10 weeks, should make that decision even easier.
BC to Floggard,
Clark down to Steele.
Saad up to your choice of premium defender.
Looks good man, keep it up.
Cheers mate but I think its more important bringing in Sloane this week before Goddard because Goddard has a break even of 132 so chances are he will go down in price this week as opposed to Sloane who has a break even of 77 so he should go up in price.
As for SAAD I think he is still worth keeping in defence as even the top defenders are scoring inconsistently.
Your thoughts?
i reckon lambert will be named this week so get him in
i am going to get him this week regardsless to free up some cash then get Steele next week
Got a full premium team with 11 trades left going into round 13. Am I ahead of the pack?
It’s about right on. About 10 left for full premo
full premo 9 trades left. time to look at loopholing and saving trades
Also have 20 on field this week
Ye your probably a touch ahead of the pack
Jack whats your team look like mate?
yep
can you post your team up?
Who do i Get for Selwood and CEY?
I have 1,077,200 to get 2 players.
Any suggestions?
Unless you put your team up, can’t help
Rob you have over $1 Million in the bank mate. Forget about Selwood for now mate he wont lose you any cash this week coz he has his bye.
You need to upgrade your rookies to rising premium's. The number one trade would be bringing in Sloane this week as he has a low break even of 77 or Pendlebury as his break even is 101 – So I would go Mckenzie to Sloane or Pendles, Lever to Houli and SAAD to Hodge..
If you do these 3 trades then you will still have $382,000 in the bank with Sloane – Or $306,800 if you chose Pendles.
When you do this then you will have a full premo side by round 14 by trading out Selwood to who ever you wish and also Cripps to whoever you wish.
Or rather then trade out McKenzie you could trade out CEY to Sloane as he has peaked in price. Doing this will leave you $542,500 if you chose Sloane, or if you chose Pendles this would still leave you with $467,300 to change Selwood to someone like Beams maybe and you'll then have a awesome full premo side. Just think about it first coz u might be able to keep CEY as your M9 in case someone gets injured so if you can do all this by keeping CEY as bench cover going forward you have yourself a awesome side mate.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
hold selwood mate
Hey fellas thoughts on Jack Steven? Been scoring consistently well all year.??
Awkward price, if he was 50k cheaper, he won't be a top 10 mid so unless you've got a very strong mid already. For a similar price you can get Ward, i know hes got the bye this week. Also for 50k cheaper you can get Heppel which I think he represents some value.
But Steven would be a good M8 no doubt about that.
A good POD option
has a BE of 128
hold this week
Time to trade out Dumont? Been the sub the last two games, breakeven now 78
Hasn't made enough cash to be really worth moving on yet. He's played quite well when he's come on in the 4th qtr so it probably won't be long before he gets full game opportunities. I'm certainly hanging on to him in my AFL Fantasy side.
So try and carry him a little longer if you can even though I realise it's been quite painful through this bye period. I did the same thing with Lonie when many dumped him after he get KO'd early against the Crows and am now reaping the rewards of holding longer than others did.
if you need to trade him this week to get 18 on the park then do it
Lambert might be back for the tigers as a trade down
Pendlebury @ 558k…. are we getting on?
If you do not have him, you should.
Agree with General, that is a bargain if you don't have him
everyone should have the pendle
At that price and after his bye he needs to be in your team this week if you don't have him.
Hey community can you help me out;
Need to pick two out of: Brodie Smith, Bachar Houli and Shaun Burgoyne
Thanks,
By the way great podcast Jock, had me in hysterics
Houli I'd give the tick. Definitely has the rebounding running defender all role sewn up at the Tiges and has had an excellent half a season. Still not sure on the other two so can't recommend them just yet.
Burgoyne can have his huge quarters but is really too much of a role player nowadays (as are many of the Hawks) to be super fantasy relevant. I'm feeling this pinch myself as a Lewis holder who as an aside has been rubbish lately.
I realise Smith is dirt cheap and likely underpriced but I wouldn't trade him in until he could show me that he can ton up at least once if not twice, even though it would cost you more to wait and see.
It's just that you'd hate to be stuck with a 70-75 average defender for the rest of the season with rookies like Saad and the Ox performing better. Laird has possibly pinched his role and a chunk of his SC points this season.
1. Houli
2. Smith (At that price)
3. Burger coin
Brodie Smith = so cheap
Anyone in my boat of going Goldy down to Gawn for cash reasons…? In a few weeks time I will get Goldy back. Doing this allows me to get Tom Mitchell for Clark and I will get Brodie Smith next week with 90k I will upgrade McKenzie.. Full premo….
Hmmmmm, I wouldn't be doing but if you have thought it through go for it. How many trades do you have?
your essentially wasting a few trades here, you will have to be hoping goldy scores poorly if your getting him back in. If you really need gawn, go Clark to Gawn and Get in brodie smith in this week. Has completely bottomed out and has a be of arount 50
That's the dumbest thing I've read all season… There's still half a season to go, and if you only need one more upgrade to be full premo, why not just wait? There's no rule that says you must be full premo by round 13.
Agreed. Probably the worst trade idea I've heard on this thread, but ditch Clark.
I do not see a problem TyS …. the operative idea here is that you do not have the $ to upgrade two other lines and Gawn could and has gone big . ( small sample but very good )
If it is your only option go for it ! …. Far from the dumbest thing that has been suggested this year ; no body is an expert here .
Is this a joke question??
you wouldnt be considering this for real i hope!
Kavanagh < what are your thoughts of bringing him in this week?
Have Boston and Steele already, any other rookie worth having?
H Goddard should get a game soon
Goddard is probably a better option. Kav's job security isn't the best, and Goddard is highly touted at the Saints. Plus Goddard has that FWD/DEF swing.
Who's to say Goddard's job security isn't bad? Hasn't proven himself at all since he hasn't even played.
this is true ^^^
thoughts on my team and what i should do/ trade?
def: shaw, murphy, rance, hodge, higgins, smith, hamling, lever
mid: fyfe, pendles, priddis, beams, JPK, sloane, wines, CEY, boston, mckenzie, anderson
ruck: blicavs, nicnat, read
fwd: martin, gray, dalhaus, swan, goddard, franklin, steele, lamb
did 2 trades this week to get dahlaus in for lumumba (via higgins), tarrant to steele
realistically next week will be full premo.. hoping gray isnt out for this week so i have 18 on field. who would be the next choice of midfielders for CEY
Gray has the bye this week…
Toby McLean or Orazio Fantasia as a forward downgrade for someone already with steele?
Lambert would be the optimal option if he gets a game this week. Had a great game in the VFL on the weekend and with the Corey Ellis injury surely is in line for senior selection this week.
agreed ^^^
Hi all, this week I will be going mcintosh to houli griffin to sloane and tarrent down to toby McLean thoughts? Thnx
all good
except tarrant
look for another player then McClean
possible Lambert as an option
Already have lambert and steele, need to downgrade to get cash.
Thoughts on my team? 80k in the bank. 13 trades.
Simpson, Shaw, Gibson, Hodge, Newnes, Hamling, Pearce, Lever
Fyfe,JPK, Beams, Selwood, Parker, Treloar, Priddis, Rocky, Steele, McKenzie, Dumont
Goldy, Maric, Read
Gray, Swan, Martin,Franklin, Dahlhaus, Tarrent, Lonie, Goddard
First thought's are maybe Tarrent down to a rookie maybe a S Edwards and Lever up to B Smith?
Thaughts please
Van d to Sloane
Tarrant to fwd 400-500
Grundy out or hold
Thanks in advance
Anyone ?
what decent forward can you get for under $500k??
Well thats the question
Zorko …. Boomer
I wouldn't get any fwd if it's under 500
Lookn at zorko roughead riewoldt elliot ?
What happened to Jesse Hogan? He was green lit and then wasn't even in the side on the weekend…..
He was withdrawn on Friday. They didn’t think they’d need him
So is it time to move him, on then?
Got the bye, I’ve moved him on as he’s made good cash
Hamstring tightness apparently
time to say goodbye to hogan
Just finished cleaning up the Griffen mess in the backyard. Reloaded & now hunting for Selwood. Pair of them are complete spuds & needs to be blown away
Do it Pieman. It was the greatest relief when I finally traded Griffin out of my team and it was locked in. Can't remember why I selected him in the first place and will never make that mistake again.
First year I haven't had Selwood and got rid of Griffen last week!!! and a question for you Pieman,, do you think Roughy is going to turn it around? very cheap atm and could be the POD im looking for for F6?? Good day sir,,,,,
hahah funny as
Maric b/e this week is 171. Probably have 20 playing week without Maric. Thinking of trading out Maric this week to either Nic Nat or Blicavs (both not playing) before a potential big $ drop of Maric. What do you guys think???
Why does it matter if Maric drops money? He's in your team for points. So he had 1 bad game… it's not worth trading him. Would you trade Fyfe as well if he score 50 this week and drops $50k??? No. So why would you trade Maric? He's averaging over 100 for the year. He's doing his job.
i agree with sarah
if you have a "keeper" in your team it doesnt matter what they are priced at.
would be the biggest waste of a trade in your team this year. One poor game does not reflect the season he has had
I've had Goldy & Maric since the start of the year.
I wouldn't trade either unless they had a long term injury.
One bad week is just a blip.
As per other comments don’t do this – I’ve owned goldy and Maric all year and happy with the combo, just need to be aware they will both struggle against Sandi or Nic Nat – Maric plays Sandi round 17 but has a very nice run of games in the finals (suns, pies, bombers) – Hold
useless trade
What do we do with Ibbotson? Keep him for the rest of the year or wait till he peaks and get rid?
I would wait. In my opinion he has the potential to be a top 6 defender. just depends on what role he gets. I think when silvagni & dawson return, ibbo could be put back into his 2013 role of rebounding & cheap possession gathering & could average 100 for the rest of the season, especially with duffield in the doghouse! But ross might change his mind yet again. Definitely wait on him though!
just hold him
DEF is so fickle this season
Here is my team community http://gyazo.com/879087ac812c01c9b68b6263ade0953a What should my trades be this week?
Thinking of Hogan to S, Edwards (Essendon)
Clark to Dahlhouse ( Swinging Higgins and H. Goddard )
And then maybe no third trade.
Thoughts Community (Got 6k in the bank and have 14 trades left)
Assuming that you have no war chest, I'd definitely do those trades. If you don't have Steele I'd consider getting him this week or next instead of Edwards
Swinging Higgins down back is definitely the right move since your defence is lacking a player.
You could also consider trading down Hogan to a rookie and then trading Clark into Luke Hodge by swinging Hugh Goddard into the fwd line. I'd do that trade if you don't feel confident with Dahlhaus.
Didn't even think of that… Thx Hodge is in!, Don't feel confident with Dahlaus.
Only problem is that Steele has the bye…
Not sure how much cash you've left after the hodge trade, but cripps to a premo def, (via mckenzie), through you could pick up gibbo…yeah, cripps is playing well, but he'll tire at some point…and you want to be at full premo asap.
you need to swing higgins down back asap, bring in a rookie FWD and upgrade Hogan to a full premo FWD
I’m gonna dump Selwood. He’s no SC relevant anymore.
For this year agree
If Dangerfield goes to Geelong next year OMG!!! Get both in your team
Iam a Crows supporter but cannot see Danger staying 🙁
Hey Carla, I didn't know you were a crows supporter!! I was in Adelaide and went to the game on Thursday, it was great for 3/4s!
I really hope Danger doesn't leave, but if he does I want the crows to match his offer so the cats are forced to trade for him.
I think it is wise, he can't get it done with the 3rd one up
im gunna hold selwood
had him all year, might come back all guns blazing after the bye
Ok, 3 more trades this week and my team is complete!! Bringing in Houli and Murphy as a POD! Think the blues have turned a corner. May as well take a risk as my team is currently ranked 12k-ish… not what I was hoping for this year!
Ah well. Here is my final team:
Def: Shaw, Simpson, Houli, Hibberd, Newnes, Smith (J Kolojashnij, Hamling)
Mids: Fyfe, Pendlebury, Priddis, JPK, Sloane, Wines, Murphy, Rockliff (Dumont, Boston, Kavanagh)
Rucks: Goldy, Maric (O'Brien)
Fwds: Gray, Goddard, Martin, Franklin, Swan, Dahlhaus (Steele, Lamb)
Looks better on paper than it's been performing. Hopefully it can pick up a bit after the byes.
What are peoples thought's on Higgins, hold a D6 spot? Or will Dal Santo being back hurt his output?
I've held onto him much longer than I intended, gonna keep riding him till he drops off/injured
Always planned to trade him out with north's bye but… I'm just not sure who I would even want to replace him at the moment! Got Shaw, Hodge, Simpson, Houli, McDonald… Smith offers value I guess? But I think Higo has deserved a spot
I like Higgins. Playing the Wingard role from 2 seasons back.
My plan is to keep higgins for fwd & def bench coverage with hugh goddard at the other end! Swingsets are VITAL come finals time! He’s a goal kicker & will have a big game every few weeks, but is unreliable, so wouldn’t have him d6 if you can help it.
im holding until he gets injured
brought nic nat in at the right time. 4 straight scores of 120+ very very happy with my selection up from tbc to nic nat 🙂
ive had him all year, so annoying but now that patience is paying off
thoughts on these trades community?
Newnes –> Houli
CEY –> Parker
One rookie downgrade: Mckenzie –> Beasy or Anderson –> Kavanagh
Cheers guys!!
Love the first 2 trades, Adrian. If you can do them without the 3rd then go for it. Agree with Sam that Steele is the better option, but will he hold his place?
Don’t get rid of newnes just yet. He’s going well
hold newnes mate as per the advice in the podcast
Pendlebury or Mundy for last spot in my midfield? Trading sideways from Griffen
My Current midfield is: Fyfe, Hannebery, Dangefield, Beams, Ebert, Treloar, Sloane and Griffen
Had a look at Fremantles games for the rest of the year and Mundy could finish strong no?
My final team is
Houli, Shaw, Rance, Higgins, Pittard, Smith
Fyfe, Hannebery, Dangerfield, Beams, Ebert, Treloar, Sloane, ?
Goldstein, NicNat
Gray, Swan, Dalhouse, Franklin, D.Smith, Zorko
At the right time I will trade Pittard or B.Smith to a proven premium
Awesome looking team, Carla. I looked long at hard at Mundy earlier in the year when my midfield was falling apart and talked myself out of it because of the "will he be top 10 in his position" mantra, and I reckon that's just about gone out the window this year! Get him in
You're comparing someone that has averaged 120+ the last four years to someone that has only had a good start. Pretty simple, get Pendlebury in!
Pendlebury. I don't think Devon Smith is a trusty forward. Would be looking to chop him asap.
Go Pendles
Just such an elite talent, in my opinion a slightly better pick then Mundy
in afl fantasy Mundy is a DEF/MID
i would LOVE Mundy in my SC DEF line
Got some ideas but no execution of trades
should i go with Tarrant/Dumont—>Steele
Mcintosh-Laird/Smith
Dumont/Selwood-Sloane?

Looking good mate, some interesting picks in defence though with Murphy/Docherty/Kolo/B.Smith all mid-range premiums?
I'd be looking at upgrading Hamling to a proven premum and downgrading Pearce to a loophole rookie in a couple of weeks and you can loophole Kolo and Smith and leads to bench cover.
Yeah thinking the same. Back line is obviously not the strongest but no one has sold me on being proven premo except Shaw. Houli has backed off a bit but will keep an eye on him. I was really hoping Docherty would step up.
Have 5 trades left after using the 3 for this final bye round, at the start had around $340k and finished with $150k
downgraded Kmac to H.Beasley
Traded M.Clark to B.Goddard
Traded H.lumumba to Buddy (by swinging H.Goddard from fwd to def)
Where these the best fowards to bring in, and should i have enough trades to upgrade to more defenders to make a full premo team
If you've got 5 trades left, you'll be in struggle street in no time man,.. I'd give up on the hope of getting a full premium team and conserve them for injuries for now.
5 trades left?
nearly time to give up!
that said the trades you have made are ok
Jelwood, JPK, Jobe, Lewis all under 500k. Wow.
crazy fantasy season
throw in rocklobster and Gary Shoulders Ablett Jnr aka GOD and it is a strange season indeed
Will S. Edwards (Essendon) be a good D8 or will he go the way of Josh Glenn??
Edwards JS is questionable but with Colyer down it has improved.
Weekend at Bernies
Brilliant work on the Podcast as always gents. Pieman, brilliant contribution, I do feel however that Griff will take the hits and defy death and take all before him on the run home. Either that or you have mortally wounded him and he continues to spud it every second week.
Sorry to say but he has some sizable holes in him after he met with me shotgun.
Is downgrading saad i good idea?
My backline is one of my weakest points of my team.
BACK: Shaw, simpson, newnes, Hibbered, Lever,Saad ( Pearce and hamling)
If i downgrade saad to Beasley I will have around 400K which will allow me to go Selwood to Pendels and CEY to Another Premo.
BACK: Shaw, simpson, newnes, Hibbered, Lever,Saad ( Pearce and hamling)
Mid: Fyfe, selwood, Brandon Ellis, D.Mckenzie, Kennedy, Shiel, Cripps, Priddis( CEY, Dumont, Blakely)
Ruck: Blicavs, Nicnat( read)
FWD: Roughy, Martin, Bont, Gray, Franklin,Dahlhausl( Steel and lambert)
This is my teams and as you can see my FWD and Ruck are done My Mid needs 1 more upgrade in CEY ( i am going to keep Cripps)
Any suggestions?
I think you might have to wait a few weeks while your rookies fatten up before you do anymore trades
hold selwood
gives you more options for your team
Tich or Dahlhaus????
Dahl
Dahlhaus, better job security
Tich has complete security
With the run the dogs have coming up I’ll go dahl
titch
Tarrant to Steele
CEY to JPK
Mcintosh to Houli
Thoughts on my trades community
do you need CEY and McIntosh to play this week?
No i can still field 18. If i do these trades i can go full premo and field 18 this week
Same trades as me mate. Looks good
Sloan if you don't already have him
Steele has the bye this week
