I believe selwood will get back to his 2014 form. Cats have a pretty good run with games. He has relatively weak teams for SC finals so im thinking at his price he is worth the punt. Reckon he will avg 115 + for the yr. Has same bye round as rocky also. Top 12 mids i believe. What do others think?

Moz · 16/04/2016 at 09:51
I'm trying to get Selwood in, he always goes insane in the second half of the year & because Geelong are going to win a lot this year, he is going to score well. Nice POD

Kev · 16/04/2016 at 12:41
Fanfooty mate. Has live sc scores during games

Shake n bake · 16/04/2016 at 13:04
Tnx Kev

BundyBear · 16/04/2016 at 16:27
Thankyou for that 🙂

Moz · 16/04/2016 at 09:50
Sounds like a good idea. rading down to Hartley who is going to give you cash generation. His JS isn't 100% but then again Gresham isn't in the team at all

Paul · 16/04/2016 at 09:59
The midfield looks fine as it is. Rockliff will only miss a couple, so may as well hold IMO. You might lose 40 or 50 points max.

Moz · 16/04/2016 at 10:00
You think that Rocky will come back and have premo output?

Paul · 16/04/2016 at 11:19
Maybe not immediately, but yeah, he's a proven scorer and with less rotations he'll be resting forward. He's very clever around goals, since he was drafted as a small forward.

Moz · 16/04/2016 at 10:04
132 is a great score. Defs take it

Brookesy · 16/04/2016 at 10:05
Always take 130+

Ethan017 · 16/04/2016 at 19:50
Danger scored 99 and Ablett scored 114

Moz · 16/04/2016 at 10:01
Injury ridden though?
Didn't have a full pre-season?

Keithy · 16/04/2016 at 10:17
Keep Rocky, don't waste the trade. You will spew when he comes back and starts banging out 120s.

Moz · 16/04/2016 at 10:16
TBH sounds like a waste of a trade. You should have enough of the other rookies to have good cash generation. Don't want to sideways trade too many times

davo · 16/04/2016 at 10:52
No real benefit to this trade, must trade up or down, better still hold.

Moz · 16/04/2016 at 10:40
I would be going for Selwood.

Iamme · 16/04/2016 at 11:21
Selwood for pod, now if he can only recapture his Elite Premo form of 2014.

Moz · 16/04/2016 at 10:56
Could be a good trade, however Adelaide havea very rough couple of week coming up, may hinder his score

siri · 16/04/2016 at 12:01
Go with your gut feeling francis….. wanted to get Houli in but gona give him another week or two.
Smith could be a top 6 defender

Cam_H · 16/04/2016 at 12:41
Also keep half an eye open for the balance of your teams around the Byes. Adelaide has a Round 13 Bye (generally considered less preferable) but you may have a strategy or team balance where you can accommodate for it, or you'd rather just get the player you want and not concern yourself over having to 'wear' a 'donut'. There are a lot of Rounds between then and now, and lots can change in the meantime. Nonetheless, thought I'd mention it.
For what it's worth, I have Brodie Smith in my team, and think that he's capable of being a top-tier Def this year. Likewise, I've traded out Brad Crouch this week, but in 2019 the kids won't believe that he was valued at just $306,000 back in 2016!

Moz · 16/04/2016 at 12:12
I would go Smith over JJ just because he's proven himself before, however JJ is doing really well this year

Moz · 16/04/2016 at 12:11
he won't miss another week, trust

bUCKET__ · 16/04/2016 at 12:14
Hold. Not likely he'll be rested this year when fit, and he's been durable throughout his career. In any case, he'll be fine next week (unless he does something to re-injure himself). He was only a day off playing this week, apparently. Should go big against the Swans!

Luke · 16/04/2016 at 12:29
Is Davis likely to score more than 58?
I can put dunkley on ground in the middle which would then allow me to loophole McDT and Papley in the forward line and Danger into Ablett captain loophole.
I am confusing myself….

Holty · 16/04/2016 at 12:37
not sure how this will stop you doing the loophole dognino. Surely you have another non playing player in another position?

dognino · 16/04/2016 at 13:43
It doesn't stop me from loop holing the C. It just locks in the 58 from menadue if I do . I had other options with swing sets available

Cliffy · 16/04/2016 at 12:12
Realistically, Barlow and Greene are my only concerns in seems at this stage.

Derek · 16/04/2016 at 12:28
If Danger try's he will score 200. I'm worried he has a nice day out sipping latte and scores a lazy 80
I'm hoping he wants the 3 Brownlow votes

hedski · 16/04/2016 at 16:13
He didn't

Jess_coach · 16/04/2016 at 12:29
Im going papley. The upside is definitely there. Even if papley has a shocker, you wouldnt think he could do nuch worse than a 40 odd, which wouldnt be a massive loss

Noigerbour · 16/04/2016 at 22:37
He did

Southern S · 17/04/2016 at 07:04
Maybe I'm biased being a crow's supporter but there was no way papley was going to score well in a tough battle at Adelaide oval.

Holty · 16/04/2016 at 13:33
lol. yeah i dont pay any attention to the projections.

Marco_Polo94 · 16/04/2016 at 18:11
Same

Clarky · 18/04/2016 at 11:04
you are very rookie based in defense

hedski · 16/04/2016 at 16:28
That's a hard call cashie, besides his first half last week the smear has been the most consistent. As I had no fwd loophole (Mccarthy) I've moved petracca down from mids to get tippas ton and put wells into mids moving mills to bench. Had to play paps for this to work and hope a bit. Had menapoo e'd in mids and was tossing up between mills/davis. Doesn't matter now.
Anyway that's a hard call of yours they all have pros/cons. Spudhead greene due for a good one, spudlow no sandi, papsmear inexperienced vs crows.
Good luck 🙂

Kev · 16/04/2016 at 17:05
I'm a play it safe kinda guy, the percentage move is to put your rookie on the pine

Cashcows · 16/04/2016 at 17:06
It's killin me mate. Really tough choice.
Papley had a soft run so far in pies and blues but got done by his DE v GWS. Probably 60-90 if he gets enough of the ball.
But freo are 0-3 and against arguably a team looking to be in finals, surely SURELY barlow gets thrown in the middle.
Greene biggest yoyo this season so far. Could play out of his skin or put his feet up. His DE was down last game but did get enough of the ball which is a good sign.
Think I'm going Papley, gotta back in your "premos", can't have 400k on the bench.

hedski · 16/04/2016 at 17:26
Good call

Phil · 16/04/2016 at 18:15
I reckon it's close to a no brainer, has to be Papley. If you've lost that much faith in Greene & Barlow that you're considering starting a 107k rookie in their place, then I'd be trading them out.

hedski · 16/04/2016 at 16:21
Same holty. Goldy for me with sandi out

Holty · 16/04/2016 at 16:24
true. just something tells me Ablett is about to have a huge game and Freo after losing 3 will be out for blood.

hedski · 16/04/2016 at 16:31
Think they've been out for that for a couple now not helping them

hedski · 16/04/2016 at 16:31
Ablett good choice too I've just gone goldy cheers

Holty · 16/04/2016 at 16:53
C is on Goldy. Lets go big fella

hedski · 16/04/2016 at 17:26
Ha ha kick another 5

Tulendeena · 16/04/2016 at 18:05
Amen

Clarky · 18/04/2016 at 11:07
I reckon he may start getting tagged, so i don't expect him to keep this form up.

hedski · 16/04/2016 at 17:37
Bout halfway thru second on 11 possies and 50 points. Gotta agree with holty re above but I'm still watching the (DELAYED CHANNEL 7 UR S#IT) cats fiasco. Will watch second half suns on phone. Hopin for a big score from captain goldy tomorrow tops to catch ya

hedski · 16/04/2016 at 17:39
Re holty above pet scorers

Dan · 16/04/2016 at 23:23
Merret if you can afford

Nuggety · 16/04/2016 at 17:49
Can Parker keep up his good run? If so I'm bringing him in next week…but I'd go the Fyfe.

Clarky · 18/04/2016 at 11:09
Not gonna lie, bloody hate steven may now. Cost me massively.

hedski · 16/04/2016 at 18:34
I would alternate your weeks marco stick with him next week

Iamme · 16/04/2016 at 18:58
Yes siree, after some debate I decided to keep Rich, looking like he will ton up for sure and hopefully pass the B/E of 115

Nicholas · 16/04/2016 at 19:11
Thank god derek convinced me to keep him haha

Derek · 16/04/2016 at 21:25
😉
The Rich haters will be quiet this week

Southern S · 17/04/2016 at 14:59
Don't get too excited yet he's still only averaging about 80 isn't he? Good score in a tough week though

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 10:25
Gaz was getting a fair bit of attention and Hall Was left alone. I have to admit his starting to look like a top 8 forward. Missed the boat.

Starky · 17/04/2016 at 07:04
Foot injury

Coasting · 17/04/2016 at 09:44
Spud

Marco_Polo94 · 16/04/2016 at 21:00
Shivers that's significant…

Paulie Walnuts · 16/04/2016 at 21:00
Yeah, bad hammy

CoachDamo · 16/04/2016 at 21:01
I only brought him in last week!

Marco_Polo94 · 16/04/2016 at 21:01
What a goal just quietly

Southern S · 17/04/2016 at 07:11
People expected too much of him after some good scores give the kid a break tough game. Crow's are under rated knew it would be a close game between two form teams

Coasting · 17/04/2016 at 09:47
I agree. There are more than 150,000 men playing Australian Football and he's amongst the best 500 that puts him in the top 0.3%

Marco_Polo94 · 16/04/2016 at 22:35
Yeh not the best of nights for him, I'll take his 40-50 point final quarter though.

Southern S · 17/04/2016 at 07:07
Was due for a quieter game doesn't change my view of him as a whole.

Dan · 16/04/2016 at 23:20
Not to mention that wander may knocked out Martin when he was on 66 at half time

Marco_Polo94 · 16/04/2016 at 22:34
doubt papsmear will keep his spot after that effort

Noigerbour · 16/04/2016 at 22:42
Pappoo

Pete · 16/04/2016 at 22:42
Byrne looked pretty impressive, looks like he could score 65plus every week

Coasting · 17/04/2016 at 09:41
Ruggles is a spud

CoachDamo · 17/04/2016 at 12:50
New nickname is Tom crapley

Coasting · 17/04/2016 at 09:43
Relying solely on your captain in a game with 22 contributors is beginner stuff

Southern S · 17/04/2016 at 15:04
Assuming danger would have got a lazy 140 is ridiculous. He got a 77 the other week. Pick ablett maybe? Been reliable

Luke · 16/04/2016 at 23:28
Feeling the pain… All started Friday night when Priddis was a late out. Ranking is going to take a hit this week. 1444 with 15 played and some very underwhelming performances.
Greene and Barlow will just be the cherry on top tomorrow.

Marco · 16/04/2016 at 23:59
Wouldn't be too worried about rankings, looks like many are in a similar boat.

Hawks · 16/04/2016 at 23:47
1410 with 7 to play – Goldy, Gawn, benKen, Wells, Barlow, Fyfe & Ward
2000-2100 will be a good score to get to.
Already got my 2 trades sorted for next week, Papley to Menzel, JJ to ??

Kev · 17/04/2016 at 08:49
Menzel? Really? Trade up or down, not to a midpricer.

Southern S · 17/04/2016 at 06:52
1498 with 7 to play captained ablett. Glad I trusted my gut and played tippa over papley.
875k in the bank went off the rails this week and did a crazy trade from b crouch to jarryd lyons.
Even though I always say don't trade in a player after one game I rate the guy and think he is well worth the 240k. (90 + 79)
Zaha looks to be the bargain I'd hoped for, was about 415k.
JJ was looking great. Devastated.

bck2pp · 17/04/2016 at 00:00
170/16 gaz C. Ok with that. PODS ok Sloane dog well played

Southern S · 17/04/2016 at 06:57
I think merret is a massive lock for the forward line, I don't have Zorko either but liking Zach as the first one I bring in.

tuxCS · 17/04/2016 at 20:32
Be careful with Tom Lynch from the Suns there Fev, even though he can go big, there are better and more consistent options in the forward line (I.E ones that play MID), like Zorko, Merrett, Hall, Dahlhaus, Montagna and even a H.Bennell when he comes back (I feel like he'll get some mid time, Lyon will go for a restructure if the dockers continue playing like they are).

Ethan017 · 17/04/2016 at 09:56
Gawn for captain

Michael · 17/04/2016 at 07:29
I'm tossing up between Mummy and Gawn now. I was heading towards Gawn but as you said. Mummy is gonna be up against Lobbe and Gawn is up against Grundy. Not that Grundy is the greatest ruckman but hes better than Lobbe. I think i'm gonna stik with my gut and go with Gawn.

Southern S · 17/04/2016 at 14:44
Mumford looking the goods so far.

Paulie Walnuts · 17/04/2016 at 09:07
If I get to 2150 I will be reasonably happy

Davo · 17/04/2016 at 09:08
Maybe 2100+

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 12:55
Anything over 2100 will be a good score.
I somehow ended up with Davis and Paps on field with Menadue and Tippa on bench, just not getting it right this year.

Iamme · 17/04/2016 at 09:51
that's looking like 2400 plus….not too shabby is a carnage round such as this.

Hawks · 17/04/2016 at 13:02
Good scoring…I'm think 2350 more likely than 2400, but still the par score will be between 2000 & 2100,
I also like the look of those trades.

Boltons Blues · 17/04/2016 at 12:49
I tipped both Brisbane and the Crows, going with my gut again and hoping for GWS

Tulendeena · 17/04/2016 at 14:54
Is your gut for sale?

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 10:05
I believe he has torn a tendon. Could be 8 weeks

stavros · 17/04/2016 at 10:31
is it worthwhile bringing forward culling and culling j j and paps but hoo have fattened for a super prem and another cow I was thinking j j /pap 2 ruggs fyfe/gray/hanna after all j j was a stepping stone gets me a premium 3 weeks earlier don't know j j too good but can bring him back as a cheap underpriced def at byes am I thinking logic

stavros · 17/04/2016 at 10:32
sorry both who

goran · 17/04/2016 at 12:46
7 Game Day said 12-16 weeks. Shit.

goran · 17/04/2016 at 12:49
that is worst case

SC Shelia · 17/04/2016 at 11:16
I wouldnt do that, keep Pendels Sidey is back. Pendels will be fine dont waste the trade

Average Joe · 17/04/2016 at 13:02
Remember pendles had sore ribs,but yes, it doesn't look like he will be as good as past years

The Replacements · 17/04/2016 at 13:15
Thanks for the advice guys gone ride it out!

Kev · 17/04/2016 at 10:34
Three certainties in life; death, taxes, and Jacobs hanging off Fyfe this afternoon. Go with Gray

Marcus · 17/04/2016 at 11:08
I flipped a coin and im going with gray

Wayno76 · 17/04/2016 at 19:19
Should have stuck with Fyfe

Matt · 17/04/2016 at 11:23
Depends on how badly you need the points in your league match. Gray is safer, but gain will be riding high after his performance last week and could shoot the lights out.

Matt · 17/04/2016 at 11:24
Gawn not gain

Wayno76 · 17/04/2016 at 21:55
Fyfe would have been the best pick but I went rob Gray … If I went Fyfe I would have won all my league matches . All good though I think I e still got a better team than most in my league . The captain choice is defenely a majore point though

Kev · 17/04/2016 at 11:10
Not sure what CD doesn't like about his game but his contested possessions (14.5) and clearances (7.8) numbers per game are high. Even his d.e sits at a respectable 71%. Can only think that his points are going to Hanners, Parker, Tmitch (among others). Stick with him, that monster game can't be too far away

Matt · 17/04/2016 at 11:21
That's what I was thinking, but I haven't been able to watch much swans games this year so thought maybe I was missing something. Still, in a team with so many star performers, maybe there'll be too many people stealing the points all year and he want be near the top 10 mids. Will stick it out, was just hoping for an average that was about 10 points higher

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 12:47
I think JPK is being affected by the less number of stoppages. Not sure if the number will get back to where it was last year

goran · 17/04/2016 at 12:45
what

Shake n bake · 17/04/2016 at 12:53
Brown said it at the end of footy show. Think I heard right that he was a chance to miss.

Paul · 17/04/2016 at 15:10
Goldsack? If so, then yes, he's out.

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 15:17
Oh No. Goldsack is out. Lucky I didn't trade him in this week

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 13:08
I can see Shaw going big. Don't think he will be checked much and will be allowed to run free. I hope not.

uDonkey · 17/04/2016 at 13:46
Given 3 frees killing his score and has the job on wingard. Hope he gets to run free on the 2nd quarter. Gray started ok then started to fall away towards the end of the quarters with few clangers and free. Still early days hope they can turn it around and hope Wingard and Ward keeps doing what they doing.

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 13:50
Even Lobbe is looking good.

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 13:49
Or not!

Ethan017 · 17/04/2016 at 16:10
Just the 70 points from Shaw

rudeynudey · 17/04/2016 at 14:38
LOL RGray 29 at halftime

uDonkey · 17/04/2016 at 14:45
🙂 rub it in why don't you. Still another half of footy to go. Im sure he's not gonna have sub 50 😀 i hope not.

Ethan017 · 17/04/2016 at 16:09
What are you on about Zach Merrett scored 123 points on the weekend Papley scored 23
I think you've mixed up you symbols

Average Joe · 17/04/2016 at 20:04
Nah I mean Trade papley to merrett

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 14:20
bryne-jones looks a good player

Mac · 17/04/2016 at 14:24
To be fair the ball isn't down there a lot. Giants dominating the pill, only 15 inside 50's for Port.

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 15:18
Watch him weave his magic for a 50pt last term

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 16:35
He doubled his score in junk time final quarter. That is why I need to get him

Mac · 17/04/2016 at 14:52
Which players are you referring to Wombats coaches jumped on? I know I got Gray for Rocky and hes not doing a lot.

uDonkey · 17/04/2016 at 15:03
No bangwagon here. Had Gray from day 1 still holding on Rich and Barlow from day 1. Only rookie i got a week ago was Papley for cash cow and traded Rocky for Hannebery this week.
Stayed away from Parker Houli JJ and Abblett.

Mac · 17/04/2016 at 15:06
Yes the only trades I've made are Gray for Rocky and Papley for Gresh

Paul · 17/04/2016 at 15:22
Not out. No late changes.

uDonkey · 17/04/2016 at 15:16
Might only be a week or might only be a fine. There was nothing it, i know it was behind play. Didn't effect Ward in continuing to play on and no free kick was given.

hedski · 17/04/2016 at 16:39
Here's hopin it's a fine

Paul · 17/04/2016 at 16:41
Just a love tap. Fine at worst…chances are it's a "not enough force, etc" though.

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 15:15
Byrne-Jones looks a better option than Ruggles?

Nicholas · 17/04/2016 at 15:47
yeh he got 91

Paul · 17/04/2016 at 15:58
107 before scaling…

Ethan017 · 17/04/2016 at 16:06
Started Zach Merrett ahead of him and have been extremely happy he again outscored him this week with 123

Paul · 17/04/2016 at 16:26
Did you also start Papley ahead of him? haha

Ethan017 · 17/04/2016 at 17:07
Don't have Papley

Tophawk · 17/04/2016 at 17:14
Ward is a good boy. Ended up with 137 SC points. He keeps producing the goods. Very happy with my midfield POD.

The Ranger · 17/04/2016 at 20:59
Nice pick Tophawk. Early days but Ward is looking good eh?

hedski · 17/04/2016 at 16:40
Starting to feel that way Kev. Bloody Butcher.

BundyBear · 17/04/2016 at 18:43
Traded Sam Gray in for Jarrad Waite. Dont do it they said. Bahahaha

Leeds17 · 17/04/2016 at 20:31
Byrne-Jones looks the goods to me

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 18:27
I think it might be leap years when he does well.

Steeeve · 17/04/2016 at 18:47
Wouldn't think so. He's been frustrating but surely your side has bigger problems. He still had good stats today when port got smashed. Just didn't translate to points.

tuxCS · 17/04/2016 at 20:35
He'll come good mate, if i had the chance to go back i would've picked Parker or Ward but still, give him time and he'l reward you.

Chill · 17/04/2016 at 20:54
Yep my top 3… Fyfe, hannebery and .. Wait for it… Suckling!!!

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 18:23
Easy

Cashcows · 17/04/2016 at 18:21
Your absolutely joking if one game makes you turn on Gray. Hold.
Wines also hold. He's getting enough of the ball, just scrappy with DE.
Papley needs to go but only if there's a good option, esp with 25 trades left.
JJ needs to go, long term injury.
Barlow, in your situation, hold.

Nicholas · 17/04/2016 at 18:42
Barlow might make 90 which is enough for me and Gray may get suspended lol that was why not cause of his score its to be expected a premo gets a bad game once in a while and gray had a few clangers and frees against.

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 18:22
Did you get Bryne-Jones, or did you stick with Ruggles?

Southern S · 18/04/2016 at 00:03
What's the proposed trade?

Clarky · 18/04/2016 at 11:23
for a mid, he is scoring decently. He gets the contested ball so he shouldn't be one of yoiur first mids gone.

Pjay · 17/04/2016 at 18:09
……….after his 2nd game.

Mac · 17/04/2016 at 18:14
The 3rd game is when his price rises….

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 18:20
Is it something I said? He'll be in mine. Good player.

Northernsoul74 · 17/04/2016 at 19:03
Hall if you don't have him.

Dean · 17/04/2016 at 18:09
and 2 goals for Fyfe at half time.

Steeeve · 17/04/2016 at 18:48
Wells had 7 tackles at that point…

Southern S · 18/04/2016 at 00:02
There's a lot of things to get scored on.

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 18:47
I am up against Jock in a head to head this week. Looks like he has me covered.
However I did notice his C was on a bloke called G Ablett!

Nicholas · 17/04/2016 at 18:52
Haha

Holty · 17/04/2016 at 19:24
bahahahaha. Couldnt resist. No wonder he scored poorer then normal. Jock has selected him.

SCaddict · 17/04/2016 at 19:54
Seems an odd move especially when he belaboured the point on how sore Gaz looked in the last podcast.
I guess pressure can do that, even to the best of us.
How does it feel to be Lobbe free Derek? The healing process can now begin. 🙂

hedski · 17/04/2016 at 20:44
Poor ol' blicz had a shocker tho!!
He wasn't alone in the cats camp.

SCaddict · 17/04/2016 at 20:55
Yeah that came out of nowhere. Blitz is usually pretty consistent. Just indicative of a horrendous round I guess.
Very lucky to eek out a 2074 with Stef and JJ playing a half of footy and AMT on the bench.

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 20:58
good to be free. I can move on with the next chapter of my life. The Blitz didn't welcome me. Cats v Essendon I thought he would go big.

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 19:29
your not alone. I had Paps and Davis on field instead of Menadue and Tippa. Throw in Wingard and BSmith, I'm under 2000

Benjamima Puddleduck · 17/04/2016 at 19:55
Right there with ya mate!
Bit of a shitty round for this puddleduck

SC Shelia · 17/04/2016 at 19:12
Hear ya…..wanted to bring in Waite this week and didnt……so called experts have failed again …..I was told S. Gray is a keeper by a mustached man called Lekdog……S. Gray is far from a keeper and he said the same about Tmac was to? Its a wonder why I listen to theses guys they aren't helpful at all but maybe in mustache rides.

SC Shelia · 17/04/2016 at 19:14
Not even sure the mustache rides would be that good?

Kev · 17/04/2016 at 19:23
If you haven't got the guts to back yourself SC Shelia you've only got yourself to blame.

Mac · 17/04/2016 at 19:28
Well said Kev, they give their opinions, you don't have to listen to it. Gotta be big enough and ugly enough to make your own decisions.

Kev · 17/04/2016 at 19:36
Hope the person who asked today who to C out of Fyfe and RGray didn't listen to me!

SCaddict · 17/04/2016 at 20:03
If you throw enough darts a few will hit the wall and make some ugly divots.
Your advice is generally bullseyes tho Kev.

ThatDamnRascal · 17/04/2016 at 20:11
Hope you don't gamble on what the TAB experts predict. You'd be homeless by now.
These blokes give advise, an opinion, a different point of view and it's up to yourself to make a choice with all the views laid out for you. SC scores aren't guaranteed there's a lot of research, gut feeling and a bit of luck.
Lick your wounds, have a cuppa tea calm the nerves the sky isn't falling

The Ranger · 17/04/2016 at 20:25
Spot on Rascal

Winner · 17/04/2016 at 19:27
Points chasing the community said as they ridiculed my suggestion to bring in waite 2 weeks ago and re-blurted the novice rubbish put forward by LekDonkey. Well I chased them and I'm still catching them whilst those idiots are whingeing every week about how they're falling off the pace by 150pts p/week.

Kim · 17/04/2016 at 21:10
He's going well so far mate, BUT will he still be in the top 6-8'fowards at the end on the season? My gut says he'll no, he will get suspended or injured and he will not kick 3-4 goals each week. North have played crap side and are beating them. Wait til, they actually play a decent side then we'l, see if Waite can still pull 100's or 60's. Key position forwards rarely ever finish in the top 6-8 forwards at the end of the year. So don't celebrate too early mate, there's still 19 rounds to go, very long season. We would hate to say "I told you so" later in the season, so I wouldn't be bragging just yet.

Cashcows · 17/04/2016 at 19:37
I think there is a case for Waite if he can hold this form even with a bit of a dip.
He does have a soft run of games coming up I reckon, up until Sydney in R10. I expect him to score the same up until then.
Even if he drops off after and has the odd good game, with such a good run in from R1-10, he might come up trumps by the end of the season with 100+ avg.
Might watch him next week or catch a replay and see how he's being played. Disposals are up from last year.
33 years old(?) tho, but could be doing a boomer.

Choppy · 17/04/2016 at 20:30
Its up to you whether you take people's advice on board or not. No need to be a a-hole about it. Id say you are a very inexperienced super coach, based on the fact you are crowing about waite after 4 rounds. Heres some advice – go back and look at a bit of historical data on waites average in past seasons, and how many games hes missed through injury. Im no expert, but id say he has been a bit inconsistent in the past. Welcome

Cuunno · 17/04/2016 at 19:32
You made the trade and stick with it. I have Barlow also but never started with Greene and if I did start with Greene I would have still had him.
Stupid question to be honest, why ask this are you considering to trade Barlow to Greene next week just because Greene scored 30 points more then Barlow? I mean seriously, save trades FFS. .

Nicholas · 17/04/2016 at 19:53
Lol not considering trading him just wondering who is better. In an ideal world i wouldnt want either haha

Tophawk · 17/04/2016 at 19:30
Excellent score Dean. Well above par.

Cashcows · 17/04/2016 at 19:40
2110 for me, curious on what par is with Fyfe being one of few premos to score captain standard points.
Personally I was able to grab AMT's score with the loophole, over papley which certainly helped.

Dean · 17/04/2016 at 19:47
i wanted to put AMT in for papley but unfortunate I just couldn't otherwise I would have scored 2221 which is a massive difference compared to 2139 and will cost me at least 1000 plus positions overall.

Cashcows · 17/04/2016 at 19:53
That would have shot you up the rankings! Still early in the season tho.
Was in the 60k~ R1 and now I'm hoping to move into 5k. A lot can happen, next week might be the week you get it right.

Cuunno · 17/04/2016 at 19:40
cheers mate 2139 now after scaling unless scaling isn't completed.

The Ranger · 17/04/2016 at 20:32
Another tough round, hard to get a pick on who's gonna be top 6/8 in any position.
2122 and the second week running I feel like I got away with one.

Northernsoul74 · 17/04/2016 at 20:35
I agree, feel like just holding back on trades is the way to go until things become clearer.

Dean · 17/04/2016 at 19:57
They are entitled to their opinion, if they held a knife or gun to your throat/head then fair enough go for your life and bitch about it, however this is all based on opinions like it or not.

SC Shelia · 17/04/2016 at 20:03
option? They claim they are experts. Far from it!

Nicholas · 17/04/2016 at 20:04
stop whining and leave this site

Dean · 17/04/2016 at 19:49
Where did that come from Shelia?

Tophawk · 17/04/2016 at 19:52
Tell me about it. If Shelia really thinks this website sucks, why is she/he or something in between still posting on here?

SC Shelia · 17/04/2016 at 19:57
Bad advice from a bunch of guys who claim they are experts! Worthless articles and 100% of the time wrong! Cheesy mustaches to…..wannabe 80's porno stars!

SC Shelia · 17/04/2016 at 19:58
Dont worry wont be back…..better sites with better advice than these chumps

Take responsibility of your own trades and stop blaming others!!!

Tony · 17/04/2016 at 21:16
Way to stereotype the typical finger pointing whinging woman, Sheila. You'd get on well with my wife …

JamiesNinjas13 · 18/04/2016 at 11:03
Everyone don't give her the time of day, she's just trying to give a bit of a stir. Will be a better community without people like Shelia anyways.

BundyBear · 17/04/2016 at 20:09
I agree Shelia. The other day i posted a question on here, wether to get Waite or not. Everyone said he was inconsistant and unsustainable. Shows you how much they know, There is no such thing as a football expert. Its called armchair experts. And yes I did get Waite.

The Ranger · 17/04/2016 at 20:15
Hey Bundy, Sheila,
Wisdom can't be taught.
Only learnt.
Therefore you need to take responsibility for your own scores.
No one forced you into any of the decisions you made.
Trade wisely and good luck for the rest of the ear.

Tony · 17/04/2016 at 21:17
You're right to be angry, Bundy.
How dare they not predict the future?

ThatDamnRascal · 17/04/2016 at 20:15
4 rounds in 19 to go. Can't knock the stats of his past seasons. It's a numbers game

Dasha · 17/04/2016 at 20:16
waite is 33, hes not gonna be kicking 4 goals a week for the rest of the year

SC16 · 17/04/2016 at 20:30
how do you know! evwn if he doesnt ue will score weell throughout 2016! I was one of the first who suggested waite and was put donw immediately "your chasing points buddy" "shit trade" well guess what, suck it! waite in!

Mac · 17/04/2016 at 20:43
What are you still doing here SC16? Thought you had better sites to go to?

Southern S · 17/04/2016 at 22:13
If you felt in your gut to go with Waite then you lock him in.
Getting advice from others is good as you can take factors or angles you didn't think of into consideration.
You're talking as if Waite has played the whole year and is now proven to be a lock all year.
It's been 4 rounds calm down and come back and say I told you so later in the season when you haven't used 2 trades on him, and people like me are 'wrong'
Syllabus a long way to go you two are behaving as if the guys who contribute to the website owe you something……

Southern S · 17/04/2016 at 22:14
Still have a long way*

Southern S · 17/04/2016 at 22:06
Unbelievable comments.

Danners · 17/04/2016 at 22:08
SC Shielia, Bundybear unfortunately, none of us can time travel and tell the future. We are doing something called looking back at the stats in the past. If you can time travel let us know…

Iamme · 18/04/2016 at 00:50
Wow this is crazy, I thought this is meant to be a light hearted fun community….Get over yourself! Most of us here love the work and effort all the boys put into this site and think they all do a fantastic job… They are great entertainment but that's all they are and meant to be…Lighten up!

Roger · 18/04/2016 at 01:38
The truth is at its all opinion based choices. They aren't magicians. They can't predict the future. They can only say what they think will happen. Sure, they get it right, but they also get it wrong. That's the game, you pick up good picks and bad picks. They can only tell you what's a good option, it doesn't mean you have to agree with it hence why jock, Higgo and crouching all have different opinions. I've picked players in the past that jock and co didn't mention as being a pick and they went on to be great selections. Yes, when you score bad, it annoys you but it happens. You have great scoring rounds, and the dud ones, gotta deal with it.

wombatsfc · 18/04/2016 at 10:40
I think what shiela is saying is that a high % of contributors here do nothing but regurgitate popular myths and cliches and ridicule those who put forward original ideas and strategies.
Poor shiela made the terrible mistake of expecting wisdom and rationale and probably structured her team based on advice from people here who consider themselves experts, Sadly most of the 'experts' don't rate in the top 1,000.
I did not pick my team based on information from those who run this site as experience has shown that they are not any better than the old lady at the corner shop for supercoach advice.
But game winning advice has never been my reason for coming to this site, I come here because it makes me feel so much better about myself to learn how incompetent the general community is.

ThatDamnRascal · 18/04/2016 at 11:07
Always knew you were a douchebag

JamiesNinjas13 · 18/04/2016 at 11:17
Get a load of this smug kid. Coming onto a website to feel better about himself because he 'thinks' he's better than most people. You got some low self-esteem issues my friend lol

Boris Baconbeer · 18/04/2016 at 12:58
Theses guys help people to make better decisions and offer options. With their help you can stay in top 15/20% to get in the top 1 % requires luck. No one in the top 1 to 5 % is any smarter at this than in the top 10 to 15% . I've been in the top 100 and I'm only saying that before you can say 'what would you know?" . Luck not brains.

Mac · 17/04/2016 at 19:59
How Martin gets scaled down and JJ up is beyond me.

Nicholas · 17/04/2016 at 20:03
JJ went up by 15 points after he went off haha

SCaddict · 17/04/2016 at 20:07
It comes down to who the CD boys have in their own teams. 🙂
They must have JJ and Rance.
At least we don't have that bullsh1te scoring of the Bont that we had last season. That was an utter joke!

Davonaise · 17/04/2016 at 20:55
Agree

BC · 17/04/2016 at 22:54
Hey Mac – it is because the Doggies game was effectively over earlier and JJ scored his points when the game was alive. The Brisbane game was undecided to the end so less junk time and no need to scale up first half.

Harry · 17/04/2016 at 20:57
I remember watching North v WC last year. Goldstein's score was going berserk based on absolutely nothing. He kept getting given hit outs to advantage when he wasn't even getting his hands on the ball. I've watched rucking contests really closely since then and I've never seen anything like it. As much as I love GAJ I feel he's often really lucky to get the score he does. The problem is it's so subjective. What's an effective kick? What's a hit out to advantage? If it goes to empty space yet your player runs onto it, is that 'to advantage'? I just don't know if it can ever be standardised but I have no doubt it's not a fair equation week to week

Jerald · 17/04/2016 at 20:19
should be arond 4-6 weeks.
Trade out

Mac · 17/04/2016 at 20:29
I assume your talking about Stefan? He will need to pass test during the week

Dasha · 17/04/2016 at 20:58
🙁

Mac · 17/04/2016 at 21:05
Why you trading Martin?

Dasha · 17/04/2016 at 21:06
concussed,

Mac · 17/04/2016 at 21:10
So? He is likely to play?

SCaddict · 17/04/2016 at 21:11
I have Martin too but let's wait for the full medical assessment first.
If he misses 1 I might still hold as he has actually been reasonable this season in a poor year for rucks and the Lions draw gets easier soon. Was actually on track for a handy score until he got wiped out.
Any longer than 1 or 2 and I'll be trading him of course.

tuxCS · 17/04/2016 at 21:11
To me that's not being grumpy, that's just being an immature little child who put down an entire website and its hardworking staff because they don't understand the difference between opinions and fact.

A few injuries so they may need to fill up spots

How did you go? Looks like a lot of us got hit pretty hard.

Youngy · 18/04/2016 at 07:32
Ye been getting hit pretty hard, traded in JJ 2 weeks ago and he gives me a 70 one week and a injury the next, seems to be the Sloane of last year.
Currenty ranked 8700th overall. Its ok ill move my way up 🙂

hedski · 17/04/2016 at 22:19

Yes I have done my trades this week, and no I haven't got any of them

P.Dangerfield, G.Ablett, R.Gray, S.Pendelbury, T.Liberatore, O.Wines, S.Kerridge, C.Mills. (G.Hewett, J.Gresham, C.Petracca [please got a game soon son])

M.Gawn, N.Naitanui (M.Chol)
Fwd:
A.Hall, Z.Merrett, D.Wells, D.Zorko, B.Kennedy, AMT. (C.Menadue,L.McCarthy)
My two trades this week were:
Papley to D.Byrne-Jones (via AMT'S DPP swing)
K.Lambert to Z.Merrett.
Kolodjashnij is one that shows promise and should end up averaging 95-100+.

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 23:32
Are you chafing the car with Merret? Who else do you have on watchlist who may have fallen in price?

tuxCS · 17/04/2016 at 23:37
Not chasing the car at all Derek, Lambert was a stepping stone, and merrett has proved to me that he will be a premium this year and that he can play when called upon. On the watch list I've got my eye on Shaw, Docherty, Ward, dahlhaus and when he comes back Bennell. Also hoping that montagna drops in price a bit and I can pick him up.

Derek · 17/04/2016 at 23:55
I'll have a chance later in week to look at the prices and up coming games for my watchlist players, no one really standing out for me yet. Buddy caught my eye

Southern S · 18/04/2016 at 00:08
Liking merret a lot I'm sold, probably get him in the next couple of weeks.

phil · 18/04/2016 at 09:16
I traded in Merrett last week, dodged a bullet as it was him or JJ. Ive watched Essendons last 3 games and the kid can really play. I dont think its chasing the car at all, just a smart upgrade

tuxCS · 18/04/2016 at 10:16
I agree phil

It was always risky.

Seeya Papley!

Southern S · 17/04/2016 at 22:22
Made a risky move last week and traded him in for crouch. I rate him higher than young at port for example and he should have job security after being involved in two important wins

SC16 · 17/04/2016 at 22:26
cheers mate helps a lot

Marco_Polo94 · 17/04/2016 at 22:41
I grabbed him last week. Was on like 25 at half time, finished with a great second half. Relatively happy

Southern S · 17/04/2016 at 22:24
Like him would've been a lock in my team if he want suspended round one

SC16 · 17/04/2016 at 22:26
cheers again

Steeeve · 17/04/2016 at 22:25
Could not believe he stayed in the team whilst McCarthy was dropped. So who bloody knows???

SC16 · 17/04/2016 at 22:27
hope he can hold a spot after he scored 92!

hedski · 17/04/2016 at 22:31
Little abe scored similar last week. I think there's a spot for both of them

hedski · 17/04/2016 at 22:34
Going the same on the first.
Both good calls mayb rance?
Looks bloody good

Southern S · 18/04/2016 at 00:11
Solid plan. Liking Docherty personally.

The Ranger · 17/04/2016 at 22:32
Hedski mate, you're reading like Crouching took you out for a long one.
How'd you go this round?

hedski · 17/04/2016 at 22:41
1948 ranger. Lost 60 points going paps over mills but can't win them all.
Paps be @73
BenKen be @63
Thinking is –
Paps to Byrne-Jones
BenKen to Ward
Will have $101k in kitty.
Did no trades last week woo hoo was tempted.
Are they good trades?
I think so rest of rooks ok no major injury probs Gibbo should be back this week.
Have had quite a few sherbs
Cheers

The Ranger · 17/04/2016 at 22:52
No trades is good trades R3 – R6 I reckon Hedski but if you gotta do it then it's gotta make money.
Mines a Merlot thanks.

tuxCS · 17/04/2016 at 22:52
I like trading Ward in, however i think it might be a couple of rounds to early to be trading out BenKen. Just my opinion, however i didnt realise his BE was so high, why is that?

poloko48 · 17/04/2016 at 22:54
I think cause his price was high to begin with mate.

hedski · 17/04/2016 at 23:01
Yep was hoping for more from him but him and paps must go. Had ward last year and was hoping to get him a bit later but he's killin so I'm jumpin on. Should get a good 2-3 weeks outta remaining rooks now so sit tight (f*ck u scgods)

Jake · 18/04/2016 at 10:07
3 round average is only 73.

Southern S · 18/04/2016 at 00:12
Sit on the ben ken trade for one week you never know.

I'm glad I held spudlow.
99 & 82 are ok I reckon. He'll get better

tuxCS · 17/04/2016 at 22:57
He could be the POD of the year if he works out mate.

Southern S · 18/04/2016 at 00:13
Yep I held him too. Think it's almost time to remove the spud from his name too out of respect 🙂

Iamme · 18/04/2016 at 18:25
Not sure I quite agree with you there Southern S, considering we paid 500,000 plus, weren't we all expecting a 100 – 105 average for the season?….I know I was.

Nicholas · 17/04/2016 at 23:22
Hartley has a BE of 2….. still a fair bit of cash left

Dean · 17/04/2016 at 23:22
papley has a B/E of 62, Kennedy has a B/E of 56, Menadue has a B/E of 34
However Hartley has a B/E of 2 & M Brown has a B/E of 16
You wrote all that but didn't think of clicking the TRADE on PAPLEY, then clicking on the (S) on M Brown and then bring in DBJ
This will allow you to bring DBJ in for PAPLEY and then M Brown moves to your forward line and will still generate you more cash.

hedski · 17/04/2016 at 23:32
Yep

Southern S · 18/04/2016 at 00:14
I refuse to believe ben ken is done yet. Hold low BE.

Southern S · 18/04/2016 at 00:17
Got Papley to dump? The kid's done I fear.

hedski · 17/04/2016 at 23:23
I'll take ward over bk

Southern S · 17/04/2016 at 23:45
Well of course but they are not equal value so that's not really a comparison, but more preferable move for your situation.
BK can easily hit his BE, and if he grabs 100 again he's back up and running.

Southern S · 18/04/2016 at 00:01
FWD Hall, Zorko, Merret, Wells, Dahl.
Of course there are others like Waite/Buddy etc but I'm not going to say lock them in at the moment.
MID
Danger, Ablett, Fyfe, Ward, Parker, Hanne, Zaharakis, Neale – Others I wouldn't personally lock right at this second Gray, S + T Mitchell, Hanley, Pendlebury

Southern S · 18/04/2016 at 00:16
Not bad, have to do the JJ trade to dbj. I'm doing the same.
Like the Sam Gray move out. Not 100% convinced on Blics but he's a great player.
Like the future plans but save some trades.

Bomber56 · 18/04/2016 at 01:48
I might end up holding JJ for a week as I have other problems, number one is Martin and how many weeks he will be out and if Grimley will play this week.
But I have always liked blics and might use that one myself on Thursday night

Wombatsfc · 18/04/2016 at 10:29
How are you switching Blic into the ruck to cover Martin when you bring him into the mids?

Southern S · 18/04/2016 at 02:27
Funny week I won 7 of 9 with a 2037 and 850k in the warchest

Southern S · 18/04/2016 at 02:26
Pap to Byrne and hold for a round

Liam · 18/04/2016 at 10:08
trade to rookie

Northernsoul74 · 18/04/2016 at 11:21
Depends how deep your def is. If JJ was your D4 id be tempted to downgrade to a rookie. If like me he was your D3 you need to upgrade if you can or replace with similarly priced player.

Marco_Polo94 · 18/04/2016 at 12:13
Hold matey, gotta stick fat with premium selections. First bad round for Blicavs and Gray, and while Treloar and Pendles haven't set the roof on fire they are still averaging 100+. Not worth the trades. Gotta ride the lows in this game

JamiesNinjas13 · 18/04/2016 at 11:13
DBJ because of he's higher breakeven

Northernsoul74 · 18/04/2016 at 11:22
Decide who has the best job security. Possibly Byrne from Carlton.

Iamme · 18/04/2016 at 10:38
27

Northernsoul74 · 18/04/2016 at 11:23
25 as got trade JJ out. Certainly used 2 more trades than I would have liked.

Marco_Polo94 · 18/04/2016 at 11:56
I'll be grabbing Dusty once he bottoms out, BE of 155
