Thanks maaaate
Love your work LekDog
Nice Podcast Lekdog !!! thankyou !! where can we buy your single ??
All copies were burnt but the original is floating around youtube
Can someone give me advice,
I have Dylan Shiel and 5 trades left with only 5k do I burn two and bring in an ultra premium ? Thanks
Depends on your situation. If you are playing for league wins, hold. You’ll need trades for finals. Or, trade if you want a POD. If you’re in the bottom two and you’re not going to be playing finals then go for it, why the hell not? If you’re playing for overall ranking, it depends on how high the ultra premium will take you, given that it is probably only worth an extra 10-30 points a week (Shiel goes alright! I have him. I haven’t looked at teams yet though, is he playing? Surely, unless he is broken..) And then, it depends on whether you have a shot at the 50k, or you’re going for a PB rank.
Short version: depends
Yep just looked at injury list. You might as well trade up! See if you can find good value somewhere.
Look no further then Andrew Gaff
Screw it all. 4 trades left. Out Hamling for Field (6 tackles…very encouraging) and Parker for Gaz.
I'M…MAD…AS…HELL…AND…I…CAN'T…TAKE…THIS..ANYMORE!
dont trade parker for gaz
Sorry Jacko. Gottsa be done, my man.
Bugger it throts do whatever makes you happy….
Thanks Swans2012. Sitting 13th in my two favorite leagues so I need some extra mo mo.
Contemplating similar action myself Throts. My goal in this, my SuperCoach year, was to get into top 10% overall for the year and get to full Premo. Currently in top 9% one position off full Premo and unlikely to play a part in league finals. So I might cull TMitchell or Parker for GAJ
It’s a tough call my man. Could you go full premo with Rocky without trading out Parker or Titch? I contemplated that yet I’m in the same shitty spot as you. Best of luck, Seeker!
Geez mate, I commend your courage, but wow.
Parkers last 8 scores before this week –> 119, 148. 124, 59 (all swans scored horribly this week), 125, 130, 130, 110…
Parker out screams Beams out my friend
Unlikely Parker will average 110+. Gaz will. More significantly one is a SC beast where the other is a star. Apples/oranges with Beams/Sloane, my friend.
Throttle my friend you are aware that you BEAT ME BY ONE BLOODY POINT THIS WEEK MATE.
Same Throtts. out Armatige in Gaz,,, then one trade left and will be holding for a little bit,, put a fork in me, I'm done,,, Ride her till she buck's I say!!!!!!!!!!
Thoughts on my team. 8 trades left 130k in the bank,
Shaw, Hodge, Simpson, Gibson, Newnes, Murphy, Pearce, Hamling
Fyfe, Beams, Priddis, Trelaor, Selwood, JPK, Parker, Rockliff, Lambert, O'Brien, Steele
Goldstein, Maric, Read
Gray, Swan, Martin, Dahlhaus, Franklin, McKernan, Lonie, Goddard
Was thinking Pearce to Daniel via Goddard DPP then Selwood to Gaz.
Then the week after hopefully downgrade Hamling to a rookie then upgrade Lonie to a premo leaving me with 4 trades for injuries.
Thoughts?
Just be careful with mckernan going up against goldstein this week then lobbe/ryder next week, will likely really hurt his output. I personally moved him on this week. Could be worth bringing in brendan goddard at his current price.
better than my team
VERY VERY STRONG awesome team
Agreed. That' a tight squad.
Going Griffen to Rockcliff and Lonie to Celeb.
Good trades?
Leaves me 208k in the bank and 7 trades.
Need one more premo forward and Ablett
Caleb Daniel that is.
whats your question?
Look for the question mark in his post, It'll probably tip you off : )
Yes, good trades.
Whether Griffen to Rocky is worth doing?
Means I'll have to hold off for a week on Gaz who I'll bring in for Wallis or Cripps (I'll see which does better this week).
Thinking Dalhaus or Bartel to round off my forward line in weeks to come.
Reckon Caleb Daniel has good JS? I reckon he's been impressive in his first couple games.
Do NOT trade Griffen this week, he will score you 110+
Two choices which is better is raise cash for Gaz
OPTION1
McKenzie -> Maynard DEF this week
then Boston -> Knight MID next week
or
OPTION2
Boston -> Glenn MID this week
then McKenzie to Field DEF next week
I'm not a Glenn fan
Thanks Lekdog
Is there a risk hodge might get rested in the coming weeks and also is there a risk of having beams and rocky in the one team?
Beams and Rocky in the same team is not a risk.
Hodge has had his rest
onya lekdog.
CEY to GAZ for me this week. Got in Rocky last week, if it wasn't for a selwood chicken wing, and a sub risk boomer, I'd be happy with my team
Thanks Lek. Community, to get Gazza in I need to do two trades. Out will go Selwood and Boston. In with Gaz is my dilemma. Thinking maynard but already have dpp there with Mc Kenzie. Can anyone tell me anything about Riley Knight please? I’m in top 5,000 but only aiming for league flags now. This leaves me with 5 trades but I’m not confident in the downgrade option. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Bringing in Ablett for Sloane this week, but was considering pulling the trigger early and bringing in bartel for selwood. Worth doing it this week or will I wait and do a downgrade instead.
Bartel $40k cheaper next week
Hey community, need some advice.
1- Trade down Pearce to Fields, use the cash to upgrade Cripps to Ablett. This leaves Wallis as M8.
2- Trade Cripps to Rocky, Wallis to Sidebottom. Leave Pearce there and use cash to upgrade Lever next week to finish team.
6 trades
Thanks in advance
Second option mate. Hopefully Pearce can give you 50 this week but rocky and bottom are great additions. Good luck
Cheers mate. I am leaning that way. I’d love Ablett, like everybody else, but it screws up my whole structure getting him. Another injury or if he’s put on ice at some stage and it’s season over for me as well. He also may churn out 150 every week and give me chills.
part of the fun in this game is taking chances. get him in. if he keeps pumping out 150's, the gamble paid off. if it fails, you can turn him into whoever you want with all that money.
Paerce Omiited isnt he?
Alex Pearce sorry
Ah excellent……I forgot about Clancee. A Pearce in will save me a trade and a 0 so I can shelf the plan to trade Malceski in this week and then grab a super premo defender next week!
good work Lekdog,
tuff one this week, downgrade Saad to maynard for dpp or Daniel( have Steele Lambert and Krakk already)
cheers bud
Maynard, dpp super valuable
getting him in for McKenzie. gives me the extra 80k or so I need for Gaz, and also keeps that swing set between DEF and MID
good advice, need to lose either Wallis or Neale for Hodge this week and gaz next week, not sure which one?
Both are a chance of hitting their BE this week or close to it, so prices won’t change much next week…but hold Neale over Wallis if you have to choose, purely because he should score higher v Carlton.
Maynard is playing. I’m keeping McKenzie for loopholing
Keeping McKenzie for the same reason. Loopholing him with Saad for backup going forward.
Who would you cull out of Wallis, Griff and Cripps Derek? (for Gaz or Rocky)
i got rid of Wallis cause he's the only non premo mid I had left BE of around 120 I think. considering I got rid of him, he'll probably come out and get 140 this week
Hey Community,
Saad, Hamling and Pearce all omitted hurts me.
Was thinking of a POD and downgrading Saad to Malceski and upgrading to Cripps to Rocky?!?!?
Should I pull the trigger and hope Malceski finishes the season strong or just downgrade Hamling/Pearce to Goddard/Maynard and upgrade Saad next week?
Sounds good to me, Malceski can only improve in the back side of the season imo
Clancee, not Alex, was omitted.
But don’t worry alex will be out next week 🙂
Just a little thing on Saad and Hamling – they are both injured but should be back next week. Not sure if thats what you meant but sounds like you said they were dropped
Community POD Consideration #2 – Hanley over Rockliffe?
rock
The rock by a mile….
Boston to caleb maynard or glenn and selwood to ablett leaves me with 3 trades… Thoughts? I still have 1 defender who isnt premo in defence
Turns out i cant afford ablett and am round about 40k off. Do i just go haneb or beams or danger or even montagna
Oh just came up with an idea could go rocky instead and have 100k leftover for my last defender and that would turn out nice. Only prob is if rocky gets another injury he alrdy burned me
who's your non premo defender?
if I were you I'd look at gettng 2 premo's as oppose to 1 GAJ, and with one of those premo's being Rocky, that wouldn't be a terrible idea
My non premo is lever
Yep the rocky plan is the best option imo
thoughts
saad for picken
or
selwood for ablett.
will do one trade this week and the other trade next week
I'd go selwood to GAJ….
I’m saying it one last time, sellwood IS going to burn anyone who jumps off….will come home averaging 110 minimum….
but with 5 trades and the bank to do it? why would you turn down a bloke that will ave 130 for the rest of the year. cant trust your call with selwood considering he's only his 110 twice from 13 games. ablett 3 times from 4 and the other one he was subbed out… youd be stupid not to have him in your team
with pickens low b/e ill be doing that trade this week with ablett next week to finish my team
take a larger sample, this isn’t someone who has just come onto the scene, season averages since 2009, 110,117,111,117,118,120. Trade out if you like, I agree he’s been underperforming and causing me pain all season BUT he will come good…
pretty happy with this one
I agree. See my post below. Rest will do him good.
Completely agree. IMO Selwood plays a lot better/scores a lot higher with Bartel in the team. Drop him at your own risk
can you go Saad to Gaz?
who has better job security Maynard or Knight?
Collingwood are running pretty deep at the moment. seems like quite a few blokes could come in at any time. Getting Maynard myself, but not sure how secure his spot will be. not too phased considering he's just a handy DPP player
Worried about Goldsack taking his place
I suppose Glenn is in the same boat as well….dodgy JS
Hopefully because David Swallow is out for the season, Glenn can stay in the team
Agree
Hey guys,
Pending the teams that come in, I’ve got a tricky situation as to who I’ll get out for GAJ this week, out of Cripps or Selwood it looks to be so far as the likely candidates to make way.
Selwood hasn’t been close at all in terms of his usual averages all this season despite myself keeping the faith in him, only putting up 2 scores over 100+ if I’m correct against the Suns and the Kangaroos.
Cripps has possibly hit the rookie wall and has been a great part of my team for most of the season,but with tough opposition in the Dockers, Hawks, Kangaroos and Magpies to come he might find the going tough I think personally, although at the same time he’s going to become an even bigger focal point for the Blues midfield with Gibbs being ruled out for the season.
So, who should be out first community?
I do have coverage for Selwood with Steele if I’m holding onto him this week obviously with Selwood out with suspension for 1 week.
I have an Option 2 in that I could go:
Selwood – Sidebottom
Cripps – Rockliff
Food for thought guys?
Cheers 🙂
Which option looks the better go:
2 Premos in for 2 trades in Sidebottom and Rocky, or 2 trades used to bring in GAJ?
I wouldn't trade out Selwood if I were in your position. Cripps to Gaj sounds great.
Selwood is top 5 ultra proven Premium.
If he wasn’t already in my team, I would be getting him in next week. Cheap, rested, has Bartel and Kelly back in team and Stokes hopefully.
Watch him lift for the run home.
The week off could be a blessing
I am a man of patience, and you guys have a great point.
I'm very certain he'll come back strong Selwood
Duncan back this week as well. that will help Joel.
It kinda sounds like common sense holding Selwood too not only for his past history of SC, but also having the bench cover/loophole options for him this week.
Common sense in that Cripps is the likely candidate to make way for GAJ.
I totally agree that Cripps has fattened up nicely and is due to go out of him & Selwood.
Granted Selwood has been a ultra Premium in the past year after year and im certain he will be in the future, However he is far from being a ultra premium this season and will remain very inconsistent this year at the very least because Selwood is a perfectionist and he isn't used to his team preforming this bad since he first started at Geelong, you can see him getting frustrated quite often this season.
So regarding SC he he has been a total disaster this season with shocking scores of 69-110-154-84-83-104-89-90-79-122-89-74-103 his scored only 5 tons in his 13 games and only 2 of those were ton's were premium status, the remaining 3 just made the ton.
His poor average of 93 and his scores show how serious he is struggling getting tagged this year, he will struggle to average 100 this year.
If you don't have Selwood DO not get him in now just because he is cheap, his price has declined dramatically for a reason,
I'm glad I never did brought him in.
Good Luck all.
Community is it worth trading Franklin to daniel and then cripps to gaz. This will mean I can upgrade brodie grundy to nic nat next week and I will have 1 trade left. Steele would fill my last forward spot.
Buddy can go big. sure he can bust out the odd 80 score, but when he kicks bags, which he will, you'll be kicking yourself
With so few trades and such little premo cover I’d hold. Sorry!
Should i do:
Mckenzie to Maynard
Hamling to Malceski for bench cover.
I would only have 3 trades left but if anyone gets suspended/ injured i have cover on all lines (malceski and steele)
Thoughts community?
list the rest of your team
DEF: Shaw, Hodge, Simpson, Newnes, Higgins, Bsmith (Malceski, Pearce)
MID: Pendles, Fyfe, JPK, Beams, Parker, Griffin, Selwood (Steele, Maynard, Amon)
RUC: Maric, Nic Nat (Cox)
FWD: Dusty, Swan, Gray, Goddard, Wingard, Zorko (Dale, Lambert)
Very risky, but it could pull off
Don’t waste trades for Bench cover. Silly idea
On ya Lekdog.
The question that's killing me this week:
BRODIE goddamn SMITH
Brought the flog in @ 500k. What's worse, I UPGRADED Laird to Smith (worse trade of the year).
I want to get rid of him, but everyone keeps telling me to hold.
"He will come good Kraken"
"Wait until he comes good"
In my opinion, Lever > Smith.
Do I get rid of Smith?
Helppppp
after copping 2 concussions you can forgive him for probably not having as much of a crack as usual. if he can average 90 odd for the rest of the year, given the DEF landscape, I reckon that's pretty good. we've seen how good he can be.
got him as well, and will be holding.
I think 90 odd is asking a lot! Since round 4 he has scored 60, 45, 75, 16, 67, 68 64, 69… 4 60's in a row and has been healthy. Can't see him averaging over 75 tbh
wishful thinking on my part I think
He is D7 at best. For his current price is reasonable value, but not premo
Glenn back from the dead – will he get the sub vest?
Him or Cameron will get it I'd say
Cripps Wallis and Griffen.
Which do I cull for Gaz? Just can't decide.
Hah, or Rockcliff for that matter. Breaking my head over this. Wouldn't mind getting both in eventually. Both are injury risks for sure.
Lonie – Daniel is locked to make 200k required for an upgrade.
Wallis or Cripps over Griffen every day imo. Both have had a super standout match, both have trailed off a bit both have BE over 100. Maybe teams have put a bit more work into Wallis now, esp that they are right in the money for finals and playing good footy. Although bit more experience in Wallis.
Griffen keep lower BE. Higher ceiling.
Maynard glenn caleb. Which is the best rookie option
caleb by a long way.
Agree with Derek. Best JS by miles
Def Caleb
I would not want to be playing any and think the swing sets are more important. It depends where you are upto on the full premo plus track
Griffen to Gazza is locked in.
Second step is to upgrade Oxley from D6 to one of the following:
Rance
Houli
McDonald
Yeo
Hurley
Birchall
Thoughts on who to go to?
My other consideration was upgrade Motlop from F6 but i think Oxley has to go first
Houli….but I like the look of Hurley too for a POD (not sure on ownership %)
Pod watch
Hurley 2.5%
Yeo 7.5%
Birchall 3.5%
All others houli 12 rance 14 mcdoanld 20 much higher
But a I like points so went with the shoal
Who should I play out of McKernan, Lonie or Daniels? Will be turning Lonie into Bartel next week.
I like McKernan, but not this week – will get demolished by Goldy!
So I’m full premo and doing the Griffen to Gaz move and need some cash. Just wondering the communities thoughts on:
1. Pearce (likely to be dropped in a for night with son of so and that ross lyon special playing wafl this weekend) to C.Anderson vs
2. Hamling to Maynard.
Thanks community!
*Son of sos – Alex silvagni
Ross Lyon special – Zac Dawson
I don’t need either to play this week hopefully not ever touch wood. I’m super low on trades post these.
If you are looking for good bench cover, then Maynard JS not good. Pies will get plenty back in next few weeks.
Thanks Derek.
My ins for this week (last upgrade to full premo):
rocky/maynard or wines/fields? thoughts?
I am waiting on GAJ till R18-19 … i think he is a luxury for those at full premo (a bit risky for mine to be sideway trading before full premo … one injury or susp this week and u have steele and/or daniel on field … or worse still, amon, dumont or klamb!
Both solid, Rocky over Wines for mine.
I’m strongly considering bringing in Andrew Swallow at Dylan Shiel’s expense. I have 3 trades left with $39,100 left. I’m playing for overall rank. Currently, I’m in the top 12%.
I quite like North’s run home. I think him and Goldstein will come home with a wet sail. Any thoughts??
you playing to win or just to see how high you can finish? I wouldn't touch Andrew Swallow, but that's just me
The latter. I cannot win from here.
Sounds fine. I just cut him for Rocky though.
I've held Swallow all year (sigh). Been very disappointing so far, but has been better over the last few weeks. A chance to average 100 from here on. As a Swallow owner though, I would suggest you avoid the rollercoaster ride!
I agree. Spit, don't Swallow
Anybody know what's happening with Hamling? Can we expect to see him play anytime soon?
Maybe… only to be outdone by Gaz.
So wasnt gonna take gaz this week
But have conceded that everyone needs to get him
So two trades need to be done to get in my side
So its either boston and gawn
Or boston and jacobs
Both using ddp
So the question is
Which if the two will be the better R2 from here?
Tough. Add up games against WC and Freo and take the one with less. New coach at adelaide is a risk. Gawn not proven like sauce.
Friends, I'm flipping.
I think I'm going to avoid getting The Golden Child. I'm having to sacrifice too much in order to get him, and I just have a feeling I'll regret it.
I have 5 trades left, with 191k in the bank. Ranked around 700th overall.
Thinking about holding onto Wallis this week and seeing if he can at least stay around the same price, or maybe increase, and then trade Brodie Smith this week up to a Houli or Tmac.
Then next week I will look at trading Wallis up to a Hannebery or Priddis if I can, leaving me with 2 trades left, and no GAJ. Even typing this out I'm fully doubting myself and considering not posting this haha what to do…..
The plan is also to bring in a non playing 102k DEF/MID to replace McKenzie in the mid's to cash generate.
so I need to consider, are Hannebery and Tmac combined going to produce higher scores, more consistently, than GAJ and Brodie Smith.
See if you can get nick m as your d6 and ablett. Run smith as d7. Does that work in 3 trades for you?
I think that's a bit too risky tbh. I know Malceski can be a gun, but he just hasn't shown it this year.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA……AAAAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
And dont act embarrassed Lekdog cause you were probably waiting for someone to post this for all to see!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TJt4fD_TKw
Cheers for taking some initiative and getting a podcast out there though mate. Most of us would be lost without one. Keep it up, internet king!
I'm glad I put the other hundred videos on private now haha
Not before I saw how to pick up girls, 5 things I hate about night clubs, keep em public! They are all gold! It’s great to see how people change and grow with time…but that spark that is Lekdog has been there right from the start!
Damn it. They were just the ones you left public. Oh well.
That is fkn crackin lekdog!!!!
Is it worth brining in Gaz for Selwood and Daniel for Alex Pearce?
Then next week Hamling to a rookie and Lonie to Bartel which will make me full premo with 4 trades left?
Sounds like a solid plan
How do I start?
McKernan, Daniel or Lonie
What's better
Smith to Tmac
or
Selwood to Hanners
both
Wait a couple of weeks then decide
Smith to Tmac
over the next 2 weeks i'll be trading out: Hamling, Griffin, Cloke & Motlop and trading in: Hodge, Gaz, Bartel & Caleb.
However I need about $50k price change to make the trades. I was expecting Bartel to drop at least $30k and Hamling to increase $20k, and hope that Gaz didn't increase much and griffin doesn't decrease much. It is a fine line. Now Hamling stuffs it up.
I think most were expecting Hamling back this week Derek. But not to be unfortunately. Defence bench cover is now looking really shaky
I was just ranting. I might be better off getting rid of BSmith (was going to keep him at D7) instead of Hamling so I don't have to worry about the cash as much.
still have 11 trades. With steele and Calab being good cash cows, there might still be an upgrade or two left after these trades.
Cloke >> Hodge (via Lambert)
BSmith >> Caleb (via HGodard) this week
Griffin >> Gaz
Motlop >> Bartel Next week.
Lads
Saad is he out for a week or longer?
Do I trade him out for Hooker or Malceski or do I hold him for a week and hope Beasley can cover?
beasley is covering the neafl
my mistake he is back!
might as well move him on now
Torn – need to get rid of Krakouer to get GAJ in, but if Krak is named I'm missing out on some good coin there with his -18 BE. Hoping GAJ stays the same value with his BE of 119. GAJ will complete me team – will be going Cripps to him for full premo. If Krak named to play on Sunday though, thinking I will hold onto trades this week (have 6 left) and get GAJ next week.
Or is this crazy and I should make the plunge and get the God in now??
If ablett scores another 150 like last week he will only go up about 15k
Thanks for the podcast Lekdog -well done . Great to hear Jock as well
fellas i have a big question. 7 trades left. want ablett this week. midfield is fyfe, hanneberry, pendles, danger, JPK, wines, rockliff, selwood, with bennell on the bench as mid/fwd cover.
do i tradeout selwood or bennell this week? bennell is handier on the bench as he covers mid and fwd but a bit risky (his season could go up in smoke) or selwood who could start to fire up which means wines hits the bench?
thoughts!?!
Trade Bennell – Selwood likely to score more and you will have some great loophole options with that midfield!
good thinking, thanks mate!
Who do I get in.
Goddard or Lewis?
Goddard
are they your only 2 choices? how much cash you got and who have you got in mid/fwd already?
Priddis or Pendels Captain?
