Patch’s Panic Room – Round 20
Gday community! If you’re still here, you’ve likely made it through to a semi-final; either by kicking out a good mate from an elimination final or on the end of a bruising from a top 4 aspirant.
If you’ve got the week off – take a well-earned break. If you’re outside the top 100, hold your trades, ignore rank, go for glory. If – like me – you’re lining up this week, good luck to you. That is, unless you’re General Soreness, who I have to overcome to progress to a preliminary final.
What a week we got served up by the Supercoach gods last week! Fyfe, Franklin, Deledio, Bob Murphy, Nic Nat’s late omission and Beams and Wines all dropping out in the same week – with popular sub Bailey Dale racking up the one paltry point – caused absolute panic and devastating impact. I’m a bit more smug than Chicko was this week, as I managed to avoid most of it and post a 2569 (far and away my biggest score for the year) and progress one more week before General puts me to sleep for the year.
We’ll get into the news, praying to whatever god you believe in it’s better than last week
THE NEWS
It is. A host of premiums return this week, with the likes of Nat Fye, the ever stoic Bob Murphy and Brett the ‘remember-when-I missed-all-those-games-at-the-start-of-the-year-and-Patch-told-you-I’d-do-it-again-when-you-needed-me-most’ Deledio coming back in for their respective sides.. Although now I’ve let the ego slide out a little bit I’m going to get hit with a POD going down.
Although having given back some of our premiums with one hand, the Supercoach gods taketh away with the other. Much of our bench cover in Brayden Maynard, Bailey Dale, Sam Colquhoun and Dan McKenzie all missing this week.
Anyone holding Nathan Krakouer will be pleased to hear of his revival to the Port side, and likewise Jack Steele returns for GWS to relive the bench pain.
Nic Naitanui will miss this week as well as he copes with the passing of his mother, and we send him our condolences, for the void in his life is much, much bigger than the hole in our Supercoach teams.
Sydney superstar Lance Franklin will not return this week, still troubled by his back, and if you’ve got trades it’s time to move him on. If not, you’re going to have to hope he plays next week should you make it.
Michael Hurley will again miss this week’s game and Shaun Hampson has been dropped. Hampson’s omission will greatly boost the score of Ivan “The Mullet” Maric this week, so anyone with the mullet should be stoked.
Matthew Lobbe has also been dropped, likely leaving anyone with Paddy Ryder better off score-wise.
Whispers are also abounding that Shaun Higgins – after defying Jock all season – might raise a single finger salute to all those who trusted him by being in doubt with – you guessed it – a niggling injury. If you’re looking to trade him in, I’d wait to find if he’s playing first.
Of course, being finals, I’d expect another five late outs just to kick us while we’re down.
THE PATCH-UP
If you’re looking for trade-ins this week, I’ve been persuaded on twitter to hit up Trent Cotchin, I’d have a good, hard look at Kade Simpson if I had any trades left and still like both Dayne Zorko and Chad Wingard up forward.
Both Josh Caddy and Brent Stanton are also smokies in the midfield, averaging 118 and 121 over the last five rounds respectively. Stanton especially loves playing without Jobe in the side. Both come with plenty of risk, however.
TRADING PLACES
Is pretty much done for the year, as we’re not needing to watch prices rise and fall in anticipation of fallen premiums or maturing cash cows. So both Dan and Eddie can have the next few weeks off, as they go do other movies like Ghostbusters and Shrek.
The rookie rumble is of course gone as well, so that leaves me with less time spent writing and more time alternating between begging General for mercy, the foetal position and praying to the vengeful Supercoach gods. Make sure you also check out Lek’s magnificent moustache bringing forth the Word of Supercoach, and the essential captain’s report by Barron von Crow.
Thoughts on my team? 2 trades left and $175,000 in the bank.
Hodge, Shaw, Simpson, Murphy, Gibson, Newnes, Pearce, Goddard
Fyfe, Priddis, Dangerfield, JPK, Parker, Hannebery, Treloar, Rockliff, O'Brien, Lambert, Adamson
Goldstein, Maric, Read
Gray, Martin, Swan, Goddard, Dahlhaus, Franklin, Steele, Daniel
I have a couple of options:
Hold trades, and put Lambert and Steele on field for Buddy and Treloar having 2 trades still remaining.
Trade Treloar and Buddy to 2 other premos leaving me with no trades left.
Trade O'Brien to either Harvey, Mitchell or Ziebell (All DPP) to cover Buddy or Treloar, and put either Lambert or Steele on to cover the other. This also allows me to have premo bench cover for fwd and mid.
Thoughts?
Trade Buddy.
His back is stuffed.
Treloar and Buddy out. Now isn't the time to be holding premos.
And just back Lambert for bench cover if premos get injured?
Zorko and Pendles in
bring in pendles and wingard
or bartel
Great stuff Patch
Thaaanks mate!
Great stuff Patch, I’m looking to trade Delidio in this week and then next week trade KK or James Kelly to a Kade Simpson, Higgins or Roberton.
Is this a good plan to finish off my year?
Thoughts appreciated
I reckon Lids in is a good move, despite my rant against him. Not as sure about the backline restructure – might hold off if you're in a strong position I'd hold otherwise Simpson is a good move
Thanks mate
This week ive gone
Griffen to Rockliff
Grundy to jacobs
1 trade left 53k feeling good
Looking good, too Adam!
Cheers ay
If Higgins is out who is a good replacement for same $$$? Any word on T-Mac?
Haven't heard anything on T-Mac, but personal preference would be Kade Simpson
Cheers
Great reading as always Patch, legendary.
Need your wisdoms guys, I am too a Franklin holder, and this is how my team is looking so far:
Backs: Shaw, Houli, Hodge, Newnes, Ibbotson, Lever (Hamling, McKenzie)
Midfielders: Pendlebury, Priddis, Hannebery, Dangerfield, Fyfe, Kennedy, Selwood, Gray (Maynard, Steele, Amon)
Rucks: Goldstein, Maric
Forwards: Swan, Martin, Dahlhaus, Goddard, Ziebell, Lambert (Franklin, Knight)
Thought of a few possible options:
Option A is trade Franklin out via DPP swing sets to get in Simpson and put Lever to my Defence bench as handy bench cover for later rounds, while playing either of Steele/Lambert/Knight at F6.
Option B is trade Franklin to Bartel, means Lever will continue to play as my D6 (most likely over Hamling).
Thoughts community?
Thanks 🙂
Oh also should mention $89,800 left and 1 trade remaining, with 2 Semis to play and 3 other leagues I'm putting my feet up before the Prelims for them next week.
Option B
Thanks, mate! Option B for me
Keep ibbotson and smith or trade smith next week or trade both?
Depends on if you're in a must-win game this week or next. If this week, then trade.
It's next, so what should I do this week ?
Have needed to trade for semi final this week;
Nic Nat –> Stef Martin
Treloar –> Sam Mitchell
Thoughts? Have been tossing up between Jacobs, Sloane, Steven (all POD against opponent)
I’m needing a replacement for nic nat too.
Stef martin is my #1 option – plays Carlton who is only playing kreuzer in the ruck. No Levi, wood, warnock all due to injuries. And Goldstein went big vs them recently.
Martin in for me Rossco!
Hurley out with no trades and can’t loophole Edwards from bombers or Goddard at saints due to playing at same time
Who to have on field?
Goddard
Edwards
Goddard will be more consistent and hit you a 55, but Edwards could hit 80. Go hard or go home at this time of year, so Edwards for me.
I have one trade and in a semi this week do I trade buddy
Got no money so the best premo I can get is jack revolt
If I swing Higgins forward I can get houli
Yep trade Buddy. Liking Reiwoldt as a point of difference.
Sounds like Higgins is a chance to miss also, so dont swing him if your Defensive bench is stronger than your Forward bench.
Is Treloar only missing the week? And if you have Buddy trade him, his back is stuffed and will hurt your team when he pumps out a 50. Get on Zorko, Harvey or Bartel, even Bennel!
Hi community!
Help me out with my dilemma
Sauce Nd tom Mitchell
Or
Blicvas Nd bartel?
Nd go!
Is Pendlebury a good option this week?
I'm through to the prelim in my main draw, but still have a team selection issue for this week in another league:
Still 3 trades left, 135k in the bank…
1. Trade Buddy for a Zorko, Bartel or Goddard type OR
2. Leave Buddy to trade out next week (taking an extra week to look at potential trades for main league) and play Lambert or Steele OR
3. Shore up backline by either trading Saad to anyone in the backline, or Lever to someone ~450k?
Head says Buddy to Goddard which will leave me about 90k to have 2 upgrades in prelim
Gut says leave things as they are, 2 trades next week with one up the sleeve if I make a GF
Heart says I won't win anything with Saad or Lever starting in my backline.
Any suggestions? Cheers in advance all!
What should i do?
I've got the week off by winning both of my Qualifying finals.
PROBLEM is i've got Buddy and i'm not quite sure what to do with him.
Should i trade him or not?
Wait till next week, unless your playing for rank.
Boston named. Bugger. Pendles VC into Goldy C it is
Eat a dick Deledio, Buddy, Fyfe. Nic Nat I’ll forgive u
Who wins, this match-up, players that are different listed only-
Team 1 – DEF – Picken, Newnes, Kolodjahnij, Smith, MID – Hanneberry, Rockliff, Ward, Wallis, Neale, RUCK – Maric, FWD – Swan, Dahlhaus, Bomtempelli, Roughead, Mitchell
Team 2 – DEF – Houli, Ibbotson, Simpson, Hibberd, MID – Kennedy, M.Murphy, Selwood, Lewis, RUCK – Kreuzer, FWD – Martin, Goddard, Gunston, Motlop, Hogan
Thanks
Team 2 – also has Priddis
NICNAT to Martin or Jacobs?
Franklin to Deledio or Bartel?
PLEASE HELP ME!!
Jacobs & Deledio
Sorry i can only afford the combination of either:
Jacobs and Bartel or
Martin and Deledio
Martin & Deledio
Agreed
who should we trade out griffin or newnes?
Griff
Newnes
Flip a coin
5 trades left + 5K. Scored 2563 last week. Week off this week. Have Franklin and a struggling Yeo to upgrade. Have lever, lambert, Steele, Daniel, Maynard on bench. What would you do?
Swan, Parker, J Kennedy or Pendles for VC tonight? Sticking with Goldy as C.
My gut tells me to go Pendles.
Any thoughts?
Go for JPK he scored 136. haha
Due to omissions I have had to start Nathan Brown on the field… Please send help…
Thoughts on my team? 2 trades left and $175,000 in the bank.
I don't think you will be able to field 18 players with what you currently have.
What do I do with Buddy and Treloar??? I have 2 trades left but the week off… thinking of leaving Steele and Lambert on to cover?
Dont trade until next week
Lambert is scoring well, I would hold if you have the week off, no need 🙂
According to Wikipedia, Brett Deledio doesnt have a middle name, I think you just made it up ! 😉
Already thinking about next year.
Team name for 2016 will be "Pirates because we Arrr"
Anyone seen or come up with some good team names?
Just Adcock
Dan Danglebery
Jack Hoff
Playing in 2 of my 5 leagues this week (round off for the other 3).
I have 3 trades left and 207, 700 in the bank and my starting rucks are Blicavs and Nic Nat.
Should I double trade Nic Nat & a cash cow to upgrade to Goldy. (I'm about 1000 short).
Or do I look at Martin or Jacobs in a straight swap, if so which one?
Cheers
Jacobs
Dayne Swan. Wow. Glad he shaved that beard off!!!
All week I had Parker on my bench as a loophole option ( have Motlop as M9) at 7.00 I decided to put Parker on field. Not sure why. Anyway, I’ll be stuck with his injury score this week. This is why I have a strong M9.
Bad luck Derek, I'm felling quiet smug about myself with Parker sitting on my bench, hope Griffen can score more than 49….
Your smugness has just turned to a full belly laugh. Griff did good
Tough break Derek, could have been worse, at least you’ve got the trades to fix it!!
Wish I had 5 trades
I’m with ya, I’d settle for 1 lol
I used most my cash going Daniel to Sloane (via hGoddard plus via McKenzie). How much do you think Parker will be next week?
490k ish.
If I had to guess 496,900
Well, Luke Parker has changed my situation. Lucky i don't play this week.
2 big questions i need help with fella's.
1. Brodie Smith or James Kelly for D6? i have both in my team so one has to be benched, but cant loophole as D8 is playing.
2. Tom Mitchell pulled out a NEAFL score but is my mid substitute. Who to take out of my mid to get his score? Danger, Fyfe, selwood, lewis or rockliff?
thanks fellas!
I think smith goes 100+ this week but common sense says the safety of kelly.
2. That’s tough, no easy call but I’d lean to Lewis without looking at his past history v cats….
Do I take pendles 118 or go with goldy
Go for Gold
Goldy
Lucky I have the week off and two trades up my sleeve with Parker looking like he's done a serious injury.
Who do I play at D6 – no loophole available.
Smith or Hibberd?
Thanks
Hibb just…
Looking back, I got Goldstein at the lowest price he's been this year. His price has raised 240K since i traded him in.
Parker has put a big dint in my plans but i got 3 trades left, i need to upgrade 2 players and get rid of Parker.
Who would be the top 5 forward premos between 450K – 550K. Anything just outside those price guidelines are good too?
What should i do? I also need a Mid to replace Parker. Who's a few midfield option between 450K- 600K?
Any suggestion would be helpful.
Non related to supercoach, but how good will Western Bulldogs be next year if this happens: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/brisbane-wo…
Gez that fills a position of need for them. Depends on what they would have to give up of course.
Will Tic Tac play next week? or is it worth just trading him? I can cop a 0 not playing in leagues this week. Although I still want to get a relatively good rank come end of season sitting around 1000.
Goldy on 30 in only 10 minutes. Bloke im playing this week doesn’t even have him. Oh captain my captain
https://gyazo.com/4bfa9a30eeae71fb6bb41335c6e5c38… Only 8 supercoach points???
Need to trade out treloar who for other than Priddis rocky Lewis
Last 3 weeks i haven’t gone Goldy as VC. All week I had Dangerfield but changed just before kickoff to the safe option Goldy. He looks like getting an akward 120ish
Pretty happy with my Sloane trade.
Should I take BSmiths 75 or put Motlop on field tonight against Hawks?
I don’t need to play either.
If I want I could put Motlop on field instead of Bartel, Dahlhaus, Selwood, pridis or Fyfe. But I can’t loophole
Just did some math…. Parker to Sloane next week will cost about 6k… i have $1500 in the bank… Bugger!!
Hopefully you arnt very good at Maths. That would be a great trade.
I was hoping Parker to Rocky, but I only have $29k
Not having Danger in my team this year has really ruined my team
Talk to Swan2012 about to having Goldy!!!
Poor guy
Yep, that Jacobs over goldy decision cost me my season….in saying that 2016/16 inc Jacobs vc has me travelling ok this week
Should I take Goldy's 122 as captain or risk Zorko/Selwood
Risk zorko
Goldy or risk Fyfe or Priddis?
I'd be risking Fyfe
Quick Blicavs, Martin, Sandi or Maric at a nice price of 420k to replace Nic Nat
Have 4 trades left
Hi all if you can share your advice it would be greatly appreciated, here is my conundrum.
I am in a total of 4 leagues but finished 1st in 3 of them and won all my league games last week so I have a free week so to speak for 3 of my leagues. Now the other league
Opponent’s score is 1160 his Captain was Goldy so his points are added in this 1160.
His different players are Rockliff, Martin, Selwood, Birchall, McDonald, Bontempelly.
My score right now is 1010 and my different players are Bartel, Blicavas,Hodge, Saad, Bennell, Mundy to play. The score of 980 doesn't include Goldy's double points.
We both have Gray & Shaw currently playing and both have Simpson, Houli, Martin, Murphy, Dahlhaus Fyfe & Priddis to play.
I currently have the VC on Goldy but am willing to put it on either Fyfe or Priddis only because his 6 different players have a higher projection score then my remaining 6 players.
How do you guys see it, do you think I should roll the dice by putting my Captain on Fyfe or Priddis or should I take Goldy’s?
If you think I should change captains who is the better option Fyfe or Priddis?
Cheers guys quick advice needed.
I’m thinking I’ll go Fyfe.
Fyfe should be nice and fresh for the derby today. I could have a big game. If he does, you will probably this league as well.
Everyone has him in their team but i cant believe the scores Robbie Gray got today – DT 82 SC 133, unbelievable !
Devon Smith 55 Really Hurts
Wow! Anyone have that "Has been Mitch Robinson" in their side?
Shark Move material?
Someone was talking about him this week, can’t remember who though…..
Hawks had s good win and only 3 over 100.
Shiels 11 takles
So I check the scores tonight, and I am dead even with my opponent. He has Rance, Deledio, Bennell, Daniel and Fyfe (captain), while I have Houli, Maric, Dahlhaus, Neale and Fyfe (not captain). What are my chances?
Who was your captain?
I reckon your best chance is if Daniel spuds it or is sub, otherwise you might be cooked, but it’ll be close either way, just pray to the supercoach gods….
Daniel is Sub.
I think you are a chance. Bennell is inconsistent and Daniel will likely be the sub today. If Bennell has a down day you will win it.
i'm on 1930 with Dahlhaus, Dusty, Kolo, Priddis & Fyfe (C) to play today. Hoping to get over 2500.
Kolo is my only worry, i played him instead of BSmith.
Parker, Bartel & Simpson my only spuds this week.
Kolo could be a concern for you especially if Malceski has a big game. But Smith didnt set the world on fire yesterday with his 76. With a bit of Luck, Kolo will generate you 80+ today. Im on 2102 with Fyfe, Maric, Dusty and the Bont to play. I am also hoping for a minimum of 2500 which I think will be barely par.
Hi community,
I have three trades left and am gearing up for next week's prelim. I need to generate some fast cash so I can trade Parker out for Dangerfield. I am thinking of making one trade this morning.
And how tempting this is………..
Mc Govern being out for another 2 weeks opens the door for Tom Barrass and should play for the next few weeks. He is still cheap as chips at 123K (On the bubble this week- not that is of great strategic importance) However, If I trade out Joel Hamling this morning for 250K it will generate me a nice 127K. That will swell the warchest to 200K. I can then make the straight switch to Danger leaving me with one trade for a possible GF or to be used strategically during the prelim if I am desperate for points to beat my opponent.
Any thoughts? I reckon its gotta be done.
Cheers
I’d look at Sloane instead of danger. Simply on price
Thanks for making Daniel the sub, really appreciate it seeing as I have him on for buddy
Hi all. I have two trades left the GF, does it matter much if I pick players the other team has. Thoughts.
The GF isn't next week mate. Unless you have a total of 4 trades left and will use 2 trades in the prelim finals & if you win that then its the finals so you could then use another 2 trades in the final only if u have 4 trades left.
No it doesn't matter if you get the same players as your opponent providing your bringing in the very best players for your side. The last thing you want to do is bring in the same players as your opponent just for the sake of having same players. For example say your opponent & you don't have Dangerfield but your opponent has someone like JPK I wouldn't be getting JPK if you can afford bringing in someone like a Dangerfield in your side. Get the BEST players you can in your side, if your opponent has them and you want them, then yes by all means bring them in.
Thanks Dean, was thinking on getting Danger and Mundy in. which other team has.
Nic Nat to Sandi. Looking Good!
Sandi will be rested next week
I doubt it Derek. If Ross rests Sandi, Goldstein will give North a huge advantage. Freo cannot afford to take that risk now. (After their loss to West Coast) Freo must beat North to maintain finals momentum and Sandi will be needed to counter Goldy.
I think he will. This week is the last time they will travel to Melbourne, and if they can leave Sandi at home to rest and then have Melbourne at home the week after (easy win will assure them a top 2 spot), they won't care to much about Kangas.
Sh*t, didn't think about that trade long and hard like most my others. Had some stuff on this week couldn't dedicate time to supercoach. Forgot about Ross, I reckon he will get rested.
Ended up with 2612. above average, although i'm seeing alot of scores over 2600
Up to 77th overall
The Eagles did well, very well today. Let alone throwing the "Cats amongst the pidgeons", they have thrown the Eagles amongst the Hawks!
Hawthorn will have to keep winning now to finish top 2. Hawks probably will in the end, but its interesting now.
Dockers looked "cooked" today.
Parker was $516k, Rocky was $496k.
I have $27,500 in bank. Does anyone know if i will be able to make the trade this week without having to make another trade to raise money?
Mate great score well done, have you considered Matthew Boyd massive POD but he will be busting his gut to make top 4 now that he is getting on in age. He is playing bloody well.
It's a shame Lambert wasn't playing on Friday.
Gaff
1 point! Gotta b kidding me, parker injury cost me but that is the way the year had gone. Time to look forward to 2016. Lesson learnt dont bring in a injured premo.
Trading in Devon Smith a few weeks back, wanted to do something different and I liked the looks of the kid. Starting to regret my decision 55….
Scored 2550 with a 55,65,66, 76 and a 79. Had Parker on bench instead of Griffen giving me a extra 80 points, prob the only good decision I have made all year.
I traded out Devon Smith a few weeks back. I’m feeling the complete opposite.
I can’t make up my mind now!!!!
As soon as Parker got injured, I planed
On lids to fill that gap also trading
Harry Taylor to Houli.
Now I know who I’m playing and see
Both these players in his team I’m
Second guessing meself.
Do I get the best performing available
Or go left field and hope for the best?
If it was a free league I’d have a punt
But I don’t know if I have the plums
When so much $$$$ is on the line???
Plum it up son. Back your gut. Or half plum it go one similar one different.
Need help deciding on trades.
Team is as follows:
DEF: Shaw, Ibbotson, Murphy, Burgoyne, Hodge, Smith (Hamling & Lever)
MID: Pendlebury, Dangerfield, PARKER, Rockliff, Hannebury, Priddis, Fyfe, Lewis (Steele, Knight & Dumont)
RUCK: Goldstein, Maric (& Mckernan)
FWD: Swan, Gray, FRANKLIN, Bennel, Bontempelli, Goddard (Daniel & Obrien)
Situation: Im in the prelim final of my main league, and I've got two trades left with $700 in the bank. Obviously need to trade out Parker for someone, I also may need to trade out Buddy this week as well if he's not named. My opponent doesn't have Tom Mitchell so ideally I'd like to get him in, but I think ill struggle affording two good players.
Advice please!
tom Mitchell and Hearce Hanley
Pearce Hanley*
Agree with the wise man, Hanley and Mitchell are two good options
With enough money to get any FWD I was thinking Bennell? What do you guys think?
Deledio
I like Bennell, picked him up a couple weeks ago and although has been quiet still scoring 90 odds, will blow a couple of the last 3 apart I reckon
Sounds good as a POD
Need to trade out Parker and only have $514,200 in total so who would your chose out of Armitage or Sloane?
Sloane
+1
Saints have tough last 3 games, where crows are quite good
Hey fellas, 2 questions, got 4 trades and 211k in the bank:
1. Parker to Hannebery/JPK/Deledio??
2. Trade out one of Ibbo/Maric/Ziebell and to who, or keep them??
Cheers!
Show your full team
Yeah you might need to show your team, but Parker-Hannebery and get rid of Maric
DEF: Hodgey, Shaw, TMac, Picken, Ibbo, Hibberd (colq, s.edwards)
MID: Fyfe, Danger, Priddis, Pendles, Rocky, Lewis, Neale, PARKER (steele, knight, dumont)
RUCK: Goldy, Maric (tom read)
FWD: D.Martin, Swan, Dahlhaus, Gray, T.Mitchell, ZIEBELL (tarrant, h.goddard)
Ziebell also has a one week ban, so I'll probably look to trade out Ziebell and Parker. Considering JPK and Deledio.
Deledio and Hannebery in for Zieball annd Parker sounds good then and wield the axe on Maric next week
Yeah that sounds good. Only concern is if to go Hanners (98 five round average) or JPK (108 five round average), because JPK is in much better form. But JPK can also stink it up against the easier teams (has gws and saints next).
There were a few games earlier in the year, against Carlton and Suns I think, were JPK went through the motions, I had the C on him. That was then, this is the pointy end of season, JPK will go big.
NicNat needs to harden the F up and get back out there.
Show some respect ffs
Hird has fallen on his sword ,goneski
Time to load up on ‘the injectors’, they’ll have a new a coach to play for (someone want to use some stats to spoil the hypothesis???)
Sidebottom a good in for the injured Parker? Only have $492,100 to work with. Last trade. Opponent has Titch so don't think i should get him in. Other options include Ward, Neale, Heppel..Thanks Community
Side has been less than flattering in recent performances. I haven’t watched but from a scoring point something is wrong. Suggest DH with a new coach for a week to 2 might just be the injection they need.
Do you have Sloane?
Swans have a pretty good run home, Titch might out score sidebum. I’m considering McVeigh as a massive POD in a strong finishing Parkerless swans team.
Yep already have SloaneDog..Heppel could be interesting now that Hird is gone..Dons might stand up
With that amount of money, Titch seems the best option. You would rather be level with your opponent than cop it if Titch gets a big score and u don't have him. Especially without Parker, he has more responsibility. And if you do win this week, most likely next week your opponent would have Titch.
Hi Community, weighing up my last trade from Parker…
Ward v Mcveigh
Thanks in advance
I’m am seriously considering McVeigh.
Swans have a good run home and without Parker, McVeigh could benefit
Ward, more reliable
2 trades left – So many injuries! Have just about spent the entire year trying to keep a team on the field. If I had held fast and not traded, some weeks there would have been numerous donuts. And still can't get some of the other injured ones out of the team due to lack of trades. Oh well, chalk it up to experience. This didn't include holding guys like Lewis and Sloane during their outs. Hugh Goddard almost got the cut, but was awesome for DPP trading during weeks 2-12. Finally got Lamb out in Round 16.

What do you think was your best trade of the year?
In terms of a set and forget – Ablett to Mundy – he's been fine for the year.
Lambert to Hogan (just a successful tweak to get a cash cow) and from there to Dahlhaus.
Worst trade
R10 Cripps to Dumont
R9 Miller to Rockliff to (R10) Wines
Is the season over already? No new articles?
Maybe it is for them, a bit disappointing
Option 1
Go Parker to Gaff/Blicavs or Sloane
Option 2
Do a few swings and play brodie smith at D6 and Hodge to sit parker on the bench and hope a 540k premo scores poorly
Parker to Sloane. Bang!
it will be my final trade though
Option 2. If you have cover, this is when you use it.
Parker to Gaff
have gone Neale to Danger…this leaves 1 trade and $10k left. Really happy with my team except for Ryan bloody Griffen!
Burn the last trade going Griffen to Ward while I still can or hold in case of injuries?
Hold Griffen! You've gone this far with him. He did get more mid time last week and produced a 134.
1 trade could fix up a Parker situation or a key out with the o'l general soreness next week.
Sound advice but I think I'm leaning towards risking it now!
It's worth the trade from Griffen to Ward, not really much use if you get knocked out of the finals this round
Just the advice I needed!
Hold Griffen! You've gone this far with him. He did get more mid time last week and produced a 134.

Is trading in McVeigh a good idea when I already have JPK and Titch?
If it's not, who would you suggest trading in under 487k in either the midfield or forward line
Cotchin??
McVeigh is a good option or Ward
Options pls….I have fyfe, hannebery, selwood, danger, pendles, Saad, Griffen and Swallow in my midfield and $200k in the bank. Thinking of upgrading Saad to Sloane and bringing in Rockliff but would u trade griffin or swallow for him? Go cats!
Sloane is a great option.
Rocky might be good, but Brisbane have one of the toughest finishing run, have a look at JPK if you can afford him
GWS have a good finish games. I’d hold Griffin.
LEKDOG? Are you out there mate?
We have been stuck in this panic room for nearly a week!
Hey community! A bit disappointing that the team have given up on putting articles up so early, but anyway…
I have one trade left and $30,000 in the bank, I would like to use it this round
Def-Picken, Hodge, Shaw, McDonald, Enright, Laird (A.Pearce, Hamling)
Mid-Life, Pendlebury, Priddis, Heppell, Lewis, Rockliff, B.Ellis, JPK (Lambert, Stretch, Menadue)
Ruck-Gawn, Maric (Cox)
Fwd-Gray, Bont, Swan, D.Smith, B.Goddard, T.Mitchell (H.Goddard, R.Knight)
Thoughts?
the team looks ok, wait on the teams tonight in case of injury.
If I was to change anything, I would get rid of Gawn. I'm amazed he has done as well as he has, but the last two weeks his scores have not been at premium level.
Melb have carlton this week, but Fremantle next week (GF for our leagues). Up against Sandi I can seeing him struggle.
Gawn >> Blicavs
Yeah I was thinking that Derek, thanks.
One trade left – I have Picken and Parker
Picken only out for one but I'm in a Prelim so this is it.
Either
Trade out Parker and have Shaun Edwards replace Picken
OR
Trade out Picken and have Lambert replace Parker
Lambert to replace Parker
I hope this is not the end of the articles…season still has over a week to go.
