my exact plan

LEKD0G · 19/04/2016 at 18:15
I LIKE IT!

breakevens · 19/04/2016 at 16:21
Byrne-Jones

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 17:08
Both byrnes if you want two.

Chill · 19/04/2016 at 16:05
like. although be wary Sam could finish the year averaging 105-110. Don't chase last week's points. There are cheaper players who will finish higher in my opinion.

Foot's ballers · 19/04/2016 at 16:10
Solid mate, but when the paps poops a ton next round and his BE goes subterranean, you'll be crying in your milkshake like the other 10%. I'd hang on a round as theirs nothing to loose. NO BANG BANG

BlakeyP · 19/04/2016 at 16:21
You will be the cryin mate if you hang onto Papley. His scores where in swans big wins. The swans team now is different to 4 weeks ago with some of there guns back. Papley will be lucky not to get dropped this week take the 120k and pick up a def rook on the bubble

Pete · 19/04/2016 at 17:43
Insane and makes no sense Foot's baller, Papley has a breakeven 62 – Granted his first two games were HUGE however his past 2 games have been a shocking 46 & 24.
If he scores another 40 odd his breakeven sky rockets to between 85 to 100 – I would hold him if Byrne-Jones wasn't on the bubble but the fact is we need to cash in and bring in these players, I personally didn't have JJ but the Pap smear to Byrne-Jones is a DONE deal for me this week. PERIOD.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 19:06
He wasn't up to it in a high intensity game against an in form adelaide. He's still young and will come good over time no doubt.
This week it's WCE. Goodbye for now paps.

Tophawk · 19/04/2016 at 19:30
Hear hear. It is the only trade I am making this week. Papley to make way for DBJ via dpp. And there is a mini trade within that trade as Tippa will now be forward and Adams and Brown in backline. Broken these 3 guys up from the backline.

JamiesNinjas13 · 20/04/2016 at 09:52
Just a little warning about Sam Mitchell based on my experiences.
Will never play 22 games and will be rested near the end of the season (supercoach finals)
In games that hawks smash the opposition (especially near the end of the season), Mitchell will go sleep in the last quarter.
Same deal with Hodge, this is how the hawks deal with older players to keep them fresh for finals.

Foot's ballers · 20/04/2016 at 11:20
Thanks Pete and BlakeyP
The Eagles are a concern, however, the next 3 rounds after are Bris, Ess, Rich, BANG, BANG & BANG
Obviously, if he doesn't get selected anywhere in-between he's gone.
I'm trading Shezza direct for DBJ and keep my FOR-DEF DPPs at opposite ends of the ground for grater flexibility.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:01
you want a premo who is on the down, not one that has reached max price
reconsider on Mitchell

Tommy · 20/04/2016 at 10:25
If there weren't so many players on the bubble this week, i would keep him. But DBJ seems to have better job security and, is looking like he will make a ton of cash after this weekend.

Luke · 22/04/2016 at 17:52
Just a terrible move

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:01
#bangBang

tuxCS · 19/04/2016 at 16:13
I prefer Laird, however more people have him than Rance, so if you're looking for a slight POD then go for Rance.

BlakeyP · 19/04/2016 at 16:26
Ownage about the same Laird is owned by 16% and rance is own by 15% so neither are a POD. With that just pick the one you like most. I like laird

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 17:33
Seen this mentioned a couple of times, really strange people say it because the % of team ownership is on supercoach.

breakevens · 19/04/2016 at 16:20
Laird, Rance is a key defender who makes too many clangers and thanks to one massive score everyone is jumping on the wagon

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 16:56
He's been a pretty consistent supercoach scorer for several years now that saying he's high priced at the moment because of a solid 2015 and start to the season.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 17:43
He's made 1 clanger, 2 clangers twice and then had one game with 6 clangers. I wouldn't say too many clangers is an accurate description.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:02
Rance
absolute contested BEAST

Average Joe · 19/04/2016 at 16:12
Sheridan + Cutler —> Byrne-Jones, Z Merrett/Franklin/Zorko
swing AMT into def and play him on field

Pinidu · 19/04/2016 at 16:50
Cutler –> Byrne Jones, pocket the cash and build a war chest. Trading Sheridan/Adams/De Goey is unnecessary at this stage, you are in a strong position in terms of ranking and trades in hand…don't waste it; remember,
SuperCoach is a marathon, not a sprint.

@winterjames5 · 19/04/2016 at 16:58
thanks lads will be doing either cutler to DBJ and Sheridan to Zerret bank the 115k an hope De goey can pull out another big score so he goes up in price, if he spuds up will be able to upgrade

matt · 19/04/2016 at 21:29
you hate sheridan huh haha.
freo play carlton this week.
sheridan could score quite well

@winterjames5 · 19/04/2016 at 16:25
which crouch

Pinidu · 19/04/2016 at 16:43
If that's Brad Crouch – good trade, Matthew Crouch – unnecessary trade.

Boltons Blues · 19/04/2016 at 17:31
rumours circulating that brad crouch can be back this week
hold and wait
even if not selected this week, hold still

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:02
i know they are doing well but avoid these bombers players
u missed them
dont be a dog, chasing a car
the reason you didnt already have Merrett in your team is the same reason you should avoid

Lachie · 20/04/2016 at 12:13
bit late on zerrett there

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 12:48
Yep no point trading crouch now, Just do Papley to DBJ for now.

Mac · 19/04/2016 at 16:16
It only takes one good game for Kennedy's BE to drop again. Hold.

BlakeyP · 19/04/2016 at 16:29
Next week and the earliest for kennedy trade. He will at least hit his BE and give him a chance to get another big one to start cash generation again

Rooster · 19/04/2016 at 16:45
"Breakevens"
You may need a new title – as given the content of many of your recent posts you don't seem to have a very good grasp of the how the breakevens work and fluctuate. Kennedy would only require a reasonable score of 80ish this week to see him in a strong position to generate significant $$ in the coming weeks. Once his 50 and 64 drop off his last 3 scores he has the potential to again appreciate in value again. All it would take is a couple of 80+ scores for Kennedy BE to again drop and him to make some more $$. I don't think it is impossible that Kennedy could go 80+ in the coming weeks. He is still getting plenty of the footy just needs to lift his DE for his scores to again increase.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:03
see what score Kennedy gets this week then decide
if he gets 100 you wont be trading so this question is pointless

breakevens · 19/04/2016 at 16:19
good form

Pinidu · 19/04/2016 at 16:42
Great disciple there mate. And it paid off!

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 17:10
Averaging 85. Weapon.

Lachie · 22/04/2016 at 17:43
stfu mate

derek · 19/04/2016 at 17:50
the Rich haters have been very quiet this week

tuxCS · 19/04/2016 at 18:31
The reason why i will never pick Daniel Rich in my supercoach side is because he can't handle a tag. He gets a couple of good damaging games together and then the opposition starts tagging him. Save yourself the headache and get a premium.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 19:07
Yep, never been a proven premo, only time to get him is if under priced ie 300k and use as a stepping stone.
His price this year was in line with his whole career as a footballer.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 18:42
I haven't been quiet, as you can see by my above comment sarcastically calling him a weapon.
Hasn't made any profit, isn't a keeper and Rocky about to come back and take his mid time.

Jai · 19/04/2016 at 20:16
Disagree… Name the blokes you'll have in front of him by seasons end??

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 21:34
Rance, Houli, Laird, Simpson, Gibson, Docherty, Shaw, Biggs, Suckling, Burgoyne, Birchall, Smith, Enright, Bartel. Probably more too.
Even possibly Adams and Weitering.
Rich has averaged 85 or less since 2009. Except had one year of 90 average in 2012.
Averaged 80 over 2014/2015 not sure why people rate him it's a joke.

Randomclcihe · 22/04/2016 at 10:19
Yeo and even Dea!

Scotchie · 19/04/2016 at 20:41
is this the weapon I know?

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:03
same bro
#yearoftherich

Randomclcihe · 22/04/2016 at 10:21
I held Rocky! Welcome back weapon.

breakevens · 19/04/2016 at 16:22
Lineup looks very settled
You don't have top deck so hold your trades this round

colin · 19/04/2016 at 18:25
hoos top deck

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 18:41
JJ, and he's out for 10.

JamiesNinjas13 · 19/04/2016 at 16:30
Solid team there Jedd, you don't need to trade anyone at this stage. Maybe Gresham needs to go for a bubble rookie if you want to get your M9 cash generation going.

derek · 19/04/2016 at 17:53
if you were holding keays hoping he would get a game, i would be a little worried if he doesn't get picked this week. his form in the seconds has been very good but still hasn't been picked, in a team that has been missing rocky, Rich and Beams over the last few weeks.
Maitherson will be over his check injury soon and will be pushing for a spot, maybe when Keays gets to the bubble.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:04
Papsmear out
Sherridan out

Foot's ballers · 20/04/2016 at 11:03
What about Sheridan for DBJ? Shezza has not been what I hoped for. Downtrade as crouching one says

Jedd · 20/04/2016 at 20:07
Welcome

Pinidu · 19/04/2016 at 16:41
I don't have him but I would recommend Houli, Laird, Simpson, Gibson and Shaw as your targets. We don't know who you have right now so it's difficult to assist.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 17:12
I'd take Docherty over Houli in a heartbeat, consistent, and has a higher total score for the season than Houli but is 50k cheaper.

Northernsoul74 · 19/04/2016 at 16:43
Pretty open question as depends n everyone's individual team. Some will downgrade, some will upgrade, some will look for value and sideways.

Banksie700 · 19/04/2016 at 17:26
bryne-jones

derek · 19/04/2016 at 17:54
Heath Shaw if you have the cash

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:04
Z.Dawson

Tommy · 20/04/2016 at 10:31
Docherty

col · 19/04/2016 at 18:27
why

Pinidu · 19/04/2016 at 16:40
I guess it depends on his BE as well as possible downgrade targets. If his BE is below 90 and there are no obvious downgrade targets then there's no rush to burn a trade.
I just hope Petracca starts to play soon…

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 17:03
Yep his BE is 56, even if he gets a 40 he won't bleed much and better to have given him a chance than to trade him out and regret it later.

derek · 19/04/2016 at 17:56
the old heads of supercoach always keep rookies until their BE is greater than there average.

Crowmagnon · 19/04/2016 at 18:56
are you getting any of the bubble boys this week Derek? If so who are you trading out?

Derek · 19/04/2016 at 19:30
Only if Paps not named. Otherwise holding
Seem to have enough defence rookies

bAps · 19/04/2016 at 20:00
I'm keeping him til for this round and next, then trading him to a premo mid in round 7

Leeds17 · 19/04/2016 at 22:12
HOLD imo

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:06
he is in my midfield so i will look to trade him into my forwards and upgrade a lower ranked rookie to a premo
will have to wait and see this monday thought
discussions about Ben Ken now are ultimately pointless

tuxCS · 19/04/2016 at 16:47
I feel like mitchell may be rested against lower tier opposition. Priddis and Gray are both fantastic players, either see which players bye rounds fit in with your team well or who has the easiest run home. If that doesn't do it for you then flip a coin.

Pinidu · 19/04/2016 at 16:54
Thanks tuxCS, I hadn't thought about Mitch being rested so thanks especially for that.
Just wondering….should Mat Priddis be head or tail? 🙂

tuxCS · 19/04/2016 at 17:01
Go for tails there mate 😉

derek · 19/04/2016 at 18:00
Don't get SMitchell. Missed the boat and he plays for the hawks. will be rested.
Priddis and Gray both very good selections, however you will be able to get both cheaper in a week or two. i would wait.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:08
Priddis has had a week off but Gray had a bad week
can you hold one more week before trading?

tuxCS · 19/04/2016 at 16:48
AS Patch said, Z.Merrett is the real deal this season, get rid of the stress and trade sam gray out for him.

@winterjames5 · 19/04/2016 at 16:49
you clearly selected him to be fwd keeper and his form is bad just give him some time and he will come good when port get back to playing good footy, just look at barlow started poor but pulled out 99 and 81 last 2 weeks

Kev · 19/04/2016 at 17:05
I've got the same problem, Adam. At his price there are no sideways options, so it will take a good 100-150k to turn him into a keeper (I have plenty of options as I have BK in my mids). Was leaning towards keep for the reasons you mentioned.
On the other hand, his contested numbers are way way down compared with his purple patch towards the end of last year. Wines was out injured when Gray hit form and his return has pushed Gray out of the coalface. Doesn't help that he butchers the footy either.
Still on the fence with this one!

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 17:06
The next 4 rounds for port are Geelong, Richmond, Brisbane and Carlton.
They lost to those 4 teams last year. Hold at your own peril port are not mentally there at the moment not blaming the players only something is wrong.

Spifflicator · 20/04/2016 at 09:24
This x2 Port are off, they didn't even put up a Yelp last week. I'm turning him to Merret.

Adam · 19/04/2016 at 17:38
Okay Community, i have decided that i have three options for the Sammy Gray Dilemma
Option 1 Gray to Lyons (Downgrade) or Merrett (Upgrade), Papley to Bryne Jones
Kitty 1.5K for upgrade, 289K for downgrade
Option 2 Gray to Fwd Premo (Merrett) or Mid Super Premo (Ablett/Hannebery/Mitchell), Lonergan to Byrne Jones
Option 3 Hold Gray Papley to Byrne jones (via Adams)
Kitty 109K
So Community, which option do you think is the best?

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 19:10
Liking option one assuming Papley not named. Even if named I'm inclined to boot him, looks out of his depth.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 19:58
I took the risk with Lyons but it could backfire who knows.
He is predicted to go up 37k though with only a projected score of 50, so could be a good stepping stone if it works out.

Adam · 19/04/2016 at 21:11
what about Lyons Job security?
I thought someone was injured for him

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 21:52
Crouch came out of the team with a hammy injury.
Hard to say who's going to be dropped as Lyons had a great game vs richmond the week before and an ok one vs the swans.
Atkins is likely to be fighting with lyons for a spot and he had a poor game vs richmond but a good one last week.
This is why the Jarryd Lyons pick could backfire.

Adam · 20/04/2016 at 12:04
Anybody know how long Crouch is out for

Sarah · 20/04/2016 at 12:40
Could return this week.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:09
Sam Gray has never been a premo
not sure why so many got on the bandwagon but you need to be rid of him
avoid the essendon players

Leeds17 · 21/04/2016 at 06:10
Imo he's a premo forward if played on the ball and not even an AFL standard player if played elsewhere.

Leeds17 · 21/04/2016 at 06:08
S Gray very much on the chopping block this week but I want to see where he's named if on the ball I'd be tempted to roll the dice on him as Geelong still aren't great with clearances, he's completely irrelevant is he's not playing as a rover though.

Northernsoul74 · 19/04/2016 at 16:59
How many trades have you used?

CJudd3Votes · 19/04/2016 at 20:46
Used 5 atm

Adam · 19/04/2016 at 18:07
who is your ruck reserve?
If Cox, consider switching cox forward if named, if not named administer trade into another fwd rookie or mid rookie (if you have a mid DDP) because you should keep a fwd/def as a loophole and you already have too many defensive rookies

derek · 19/04/2016 at 18:09
have you tried doing the trade using a mid/fwd and then a def/mid swing?

Pinidu · 19/04/2016 at 16:47
Thanks mate. I'll definitely do the Papley trade this week, I think I'll need to either flip a coin or analyse the draw to decide the premium mid. Priddis will come down next week so I might as well just wait.

tuxCS · 19/04/2016 at 17:02
I agree 100% with you there Marco.

derek · 19/04/2016 at 18:11
he is now only $17k cheaper than Heath Shaw. I know who i would get

Marco_Polo94 · 19/04/2016 at 19:34
I'd get Shaw over him too, just defending rance

Mongrel punt · 19/04/2016 at 17:55
Hey Marco how do you trade Papley for Byrne-Jones. ?

tuxCS · 19/04/2016 at 18:36
Hey Mongrel, you can do it via the DPP trading strategy.
For this example i will be trading Papley to Bryne-Jones, and for this to work you MUST have a DEF/FWD DPP player in your backline, I'm going to assume you have AMT and i will use him in the example as well.
Step 1: Press the trade button on Papley.
Step 2: Once on the trade page, press the big "S" on whichever DPP player (AMT) you want to sub into your forward line.
Step 3: Now the only spot left in your team will be 1 in your backline. This enables you to trade in a defender.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:11
Rance is a great pick, i would get him for sure

Kev · 19/04/2016 at 17:18
First trade yes. Second trade no

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 19:11
Agree, it's not like Merrett is on a bubble and you'll miss out on a bargain. Can give Barlow another shot after two decent weeks.

derek · 19/04/2016 at 18:13
you are wise beyond your years (of playing) Paul!
Almost brought a tear to my eye looking at those beautiful trades!

Paul96 · 19/04/2016 at 18:19
Thanks Derek! Out of both premos is there a better choice? I know JPK is a proven scorer but Im worried about the emergence of Mitchell and Parker affecting his score.
Whereas Sloane has been up and down, but now that Danger is gone, Sloane may be able to truly blossom into a top 10 midfielder.
Thoughts?

derek · 19/04/2016 at 18:24
i have JPK ranked higher than Sloane in my top 10. Sloane i have targeted for the run home at the end of the season when crows draw looks beautiful. JPK by a whisker.

Paul96 · 19/04/2016 at 18:47
Thanks again Derek!

Adam · 19/04/2016 at 20:01
Derek, who do you suppose will be 10 mids.
I see neither JPK or SLoane in My Top 10
In No Particular order
1 Danger
2 R.Gray
3 Ablett (as long as he doesnt get injured)
4 Fyfe
5 Hannebery
6 Ward
7 Priddis
8 Parker
9 Mitchell
10 Pendlebury

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 20:30
Pretty much agree with that top ten at the moment.
There's probably a couple of smokies that could get in but doubt it will be JPK or Sloane.

Derek · 19/04/2016 at 20:53
Replace ward with Selwood, Parker with JPK and replace Mitchell with Sloane or Rocky

fatboyfat7 · 19/04/2016 at 21:38
No chance Derek. How you can say Ward and Parker won't finish in the T10 is beyond me. Ward just missed out last year and has started even better this year. Parker looks back to his old self after an injury interrupted 2015. In saying that, I actually like the Sloane selection. Good price, definitely a POD and as you pointed out, his avg scoring against the teams in their last 8-10 games or so is impressive. Would be an option if looking for a mid around the byes IMO.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 21:47
Living in the past maybe? No offense Derek.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:12
i agree
WARD is the real deal

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:11
I like the Sloan pick
do that

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 17:26
Montag had a huge game against the struggling pies, not sure if he's actually worth the 600k honestly.
Dahlhaus I like. Probably paying a lot for him, could go down later in the season…….maybe.
Zorko has started really well, only averaged 100 last year so will he keep it up?
Merret only 20 years old but seems to be proving the doubters wrong. gets more of the ball than Dahlhaus and Zorko.
Your POD's could go up and down as forwards do. Crows and North look to be having a good 2016 though so they could be good picks.

@winterjames5 · 19/04/2016 at 17:42
so who would you get

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 18:32
Probably Merret or Dahlhaus.

fatboyfat7 · 19/04/2016 at 21:39
Merrett or Zorko for me.

derek · 19/04/2016 at 18:14
any of the top 4 are good. just wait for them to become cheaper.

bAps · 19/04/2016 at 20:12
None of the PODs will be reliable scorers. Either jump on Zerrett now while his price is low-ish (compared to the others), or wait for one of the other 3's price to drop

Leeds17 · 19/04/2016 at 22:05
Of the PODs I think Lynch is the most likely to go 105, he is a star but will need GC to have a good year and they've already got big issues in defence.
I'm still not convinced on Merrett just yet reckon teams you will be down the bottom of the ladder or scraping for 7th-10th spots will start giving him attention also he's 20 and it's a long season, so like the top 3 FWDs you emtnioned more but all over priced, Dusty will be close to 500K in 2weeks maybe wait till then and fix up other areas.

Danners · 19/04/2016 at 22:10
I like the look of Robinson, only played 3 quarters round 1 and still got 70 odd, but Lynch does look good too

Csm · 20/04/2016 at 11:59
Joey m will have the best average imo.

JB_Tank · 19/04/2016 at 17:31
It is a mistake to assume that playing Essendon will equate to high SC scores. Last week, Essendon outscored Geelong on disposals, clearances and contested possessions. They have a clear plan to deny the opposition the ball and this means Essendon players will continue to score well and opposition players will continue to disappoint.
As for Papley, the Swans may well be playing Essendon but I suspect he won't be!

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 17:35
Agree 100%.

derek · 19/04/2016 at 18:19
there will be more bubble boys, and better than this crop in my opinion. All these choices are defenders, traditionally poor cash generators.
wait for the Midfielders, the likes of Petracca, Maitherson, Freeman, Hiscox, Lovell, Hopper, Menagola, to get games in a few weeks.

I already have Laird, and at this stage, I am looking at Docherty for my next defensive upgrade. That will not solve your problem in choosing which player right now. But at the moment Docherty is cheaper, so why not start with him?

Danners · 19/04/2016 at 22:11
Laird for the reason you said

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 17:39
1 B-J
2 B
3 W

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 19:52
It seems to work out about the same, because either way you are going to be running AMT or Menadue in F6.
The only difference will be a Keeper vs Adams in either the Back or forward line.
Who would you rather lock in right now? A Merret/Zorko/Dahlhaus type or a Docherty/Rance.
My advice Lock the Doch. Great POD in only 3% of teams.

CJudd3Votes · 19/04/2016 at 20:50
i like A but also i dont think Wells is far off a keeper in the FWD

Kev · 19/04/2016 at 18:19
If you have one of McTip/Adams/MBrown in def (and you should) trade Papley and click the S next to one of those blokes. It moves them forward and allows you to bring in a defender

Mongrel punt · 19/04/2016 at 22:50
Thanks guys didn't know that was possible.

LEKD0G · 19/04/2016 at 18:33
Papley out> sub Brown, Adams or McDonald-Tipungwuti forward>trade in Byrne-Jones

Mongrel punt · 19/04/2016 at 23:30
Thanks for the tip lekdog and all the work you do for the community.
I'm having trouble tho
How do I trade Papley out without having to bring in a fwd. I'm unable to go back to the team page to sub brown once I hit the trade button on Papley. It says I can't have an incomplete trade.
I must be missing something.

LEKD0G · 19/04/2016 at 23:35
Hey mate, the S will be next to your DPP player on the trade screen under the TRADE OUT OF MY TEAM heading

Mongrel punt · 21/04/2016 at 00:16
Thanks mate. Finally found that bloody S button. Cheer's
How long has this been going on for.. It's a great loophole

Kev · 19/04/2016 at 19:09
Reasoning for trading out BK?

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 19:14
Just remember ben ken has a BE of 56 and has doubled that BE in 50% of his games.

Adam · 19/04/2016 at 19:50
That was against essendon and GWS when he peaked, not sure he can do it again

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 20:26
The top ups aren't as bad as people think (As melbourne found out) and GWS are a very competitive side.
They played a crap collingwood last week and he didn't score well but I just think he didn't have the best day, it can happen.
He's a good chance of making 80+ in any game I reckon.

breakevens · 19/04/2016 at 20:12
???

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 19:15
Both solid. Which line is weaker forward or back? Depends on what rookies you'd have to play for either option.

breakevens · 19/04/2016 at 20:11
Really depends on your structure but can't go wrong with either
Merrett will produce bigger scores and generate cash in the short term but Laird is a set and forget player
Toss a coin

Danners · 19/04/2016 at 22:08
Laird, more likely to score well for the rest of the season

Leeds17 · 19/04/2016 at 22:11
I reckon they'll average similar but Laird as a keeper in defence and Merrett maybe just off keeper status up forward.

Jonathan Camac · 20/04/2016 at 10:15
cheers fellas, yeah I like the consistency of Laird. Rarely drops to bad games, think I'll get him. Plus, he is $15k cheaper

Michael · 19/04/2016 at 19:23
zorko the magnificent

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 19:45
Zach Merrett

Danners · 19/04/2016 at 22:08
Merrett, Zorko is way over priced and won't keep up that scoring all season

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:15
explain why he wont?
2012 16 100.0
2013 22 82.9
2014 21 99.0
2015 22 100.6
2016 3 125.3
hard to argue with stats like that??

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 11:08
Looks like he's over performing and his usual average is 100.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 12:06
based on that comment it applys the same to Merrett
Zorko is proven for many years and low risk of injury
If were discussing "keeping up scoring all season" then you contradicted yourself by saying Merrett as there is no proof that Merrett will continue to score this highly. Looking at his stats it shows he is more unlikely to continue to score highly and has never averaged close to 100
2014 19 63.7
2015 17 88.5
2016 4 116.8
do your research mate

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 12:17
But you're missing one key piece of information.
Players will breakout at a certain time of their career. Zorko is different because he came in as a mature age player and was ready to go. He doesn't seem to be increasing his scores over a 100 average.
Zerrett has come in as a rookie kid, and significantly increased his scoring over the last two seasons, so it's harder to gauge what his ceiling is.
Of course Zorko is a proven reliable scorer and Zerret is a risk, but people want to take risks to lock in a breakout player that could make a big difference in their team.
I've done my research on Zerrett's scoring and it's actually very impressive and consistent.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 12:22
I hope your correct, but in that Essendon team, i cannot see these players keeping it up all season. They are busting their arse now but as the season wears on they would be defying the odds (Doing a Gary Ablett) to keep up this scoring
If you started with the Bomber boys then good work. Very Buryn maneuver. Once they hit their peak you would want to trade out
Mark my words Zerret and Zaha will drop off and it will get ugly
These players are NOT GAJ

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 12:46
It's a big risk to get any of the essendon mob that's for sure, I've got Zaha and he's going nicely ranked 8 in the comp and only cost me 415k.
Zerrett at the price he is now is a different risk altogether though, but the forward line only has so many options for high scorers that aren't tall forwards.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 12:20
And Zerrett has averaged close to 100, last year with 88.
Now with players gone at the bombers he gets 100% midfield time and this has obviously resulted in much higher scores.
He may not be able to keep it up who knows.

Danners · 20/04/2016 at 21:08
Beams, Rockliff are coming back should average around 100, don't expect 100s every game though. Should be able to pick him up under 500k

Lachie · 21/04/2016 at 17:27
zorko will you watch

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:14
Zorko

Tophawk · 19/04/2016 at 19:51
I know the feeling! Bloody spuds on the bench, injuries etc etc. Just want them fixed to get back in the game. But using up 5 this week means 17% of your yearly trades are used in one round. 1 round merely represents 4.3% of the season. Kinda puts things in perspective. It's a game of chess this Supercoach caper.
Cheers

I N Pieman · 19/04/2016 at 21:10
Sure is a game of chess tophawk. Just have to make do, show some discipline & patience & pray!

Foti186 · 19/04/2016 at 20:32
You me and 20,000 others lol. Gd luck!

SCaddict · 19/04/2016 at 19:40
The Inner Sanctum says HOLD but idk. Unfortunately Sauce has some form or history here when he was rubbish back in 2013. Again the company line back then was 'hold' but essentially he cost their owners about 500pts over the course of the season when compared to the other ruck top liners. Coaches have traded for a lot less than 500pts worth.
Of course every year is different so will he continue to be garbage is the great unknown but at some point I think many Sauce owners will cut their losses and move on. There are no easy answers here so it will be gamble either way whether you trade or hold.
If he could just punch out that one huge score like Goldy, NicNat and Gawn have already done it would go a long way to getting that average back on track.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 19:44
Even if he hit a 200 though, it might affect his average but his week to week scores just aren't good enough.

SCaddict · 19/04/2016 at 19:47
At least his last two weeks have been better than his first two but he's certainly been a disappointment and a source of frustration thus far.

Abel · 19/04/2016 at 19:58
danger

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:16
Hewett had a good week in the ressies
wait and see

Adam · 19/04/2016 at 19:56
How much money do you have?
If you have enough for a better premo, Go after SHAW,RANCE, DOCHERTY, RICH, MERRETT,MARTIN if you have the money
if not, Suckling is a good option and is a proven scorer but wont make top 6 in DEF or FWD

tom · 19/04/2016 at 20:03
only 4k in the bank mate. Already got Shaw and Rich.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 20:21
Nope then you'll have rich and suckling two potential burn men.

tom · 19/04/2016 at 20:29
I don't think Suckling is a burn man, with JJ and Murph gone for a lengthy period, suckling will use his weapon left peg and he doesn't mind a snag. He was recruited for a reason, to get the pill and use it well.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 20:35
I don't think he is either, which is why I said potential. What I more meant is you may end up with two guys that aren't top defenders and just average in the 80 area. Waste of space.

tom · 19/04/2016 at 20:38
fair call, but handy dpp status for d7/f7 by years end

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 21:24
True.

@winterjames5 · 19/04/2016 at 20:01
it depends who you are trading for him it is someone like jj i wouldn't but if it is a failed mid pricer i think he is a very good shout avg 91 low score of 86 has a low be so can make $$ and has a secure spot in the bombers best 22

SCaddict · 19/04/2016 at 20:07
Not for me although I understand the appeal. Frankly our rookie defenders have been going well enough this season that you may as well go with a rookie bubble boy instead and spend the other $200K saved on Fantasia elsewhere.
Will he keep that 91 average up perhaps not although he may not turn out to be a bad pick. I just think there are better ways to go myself. So many midpriced defenders haven't worked out like Sheridan, Lonergan, McGovern, Harwood etc that I wouldn't be bending over backwards to get another one in, even one who is in pretty good form right now – a week is a long time in footy or so goes the cliche.
Either rookies or super premos like Shaw, Laird, Rance are the way to go in defence from here in my view.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 20:20
Agree.
Unless he plays well all year and is a keeper, but I don't see it.
He'll end up a 400-450k player that needs trading out again.

Nathan · 19/04/2016 at 20:10
However you do it- rid your self of Sheridan. Such a mid priced trap. Upgrade fully or downgrade fully- nothing inbetween now my friend.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 20:15
He is a trap but if your team has more pressing matters he can stagnate a while before acting on.

Nathan · 19/04/2016 at 20:23
Correct my SC friend- but you and I don't know that make up from that post- trade Sheridian!!!!

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 20:32
Well I know they have JJ (10 weeks) and the trainwreck that is Sam Gray!

Nathan · 19/04/2016 at 20:45
Train wreck that's got way more potential then Sheridan- lol- where are you ranked??

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 21:02
They've scored the same total for the season, yet one was 350k the other was 480k. Sheridan also had a small injury in one of his games.
I'm not going for overall rank this year as I went into round one with a pile of rookies and 750k in the bank.
Still in the top 15% with 850k in the bank last round. Chugging along happily exactly where I want to be with plenty of profit and league wins.

Nathan · 19/04/2016 at 21:14
Cool story

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 21:23
You got a man crush on Sam Gray or something?

Nathan · 19/04/2016 at 21:27
Lol- youth

Dasha · 19/04/2016 at 21:32
bants with the lads

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 21:44
Says the guy who said 'cool story'
Gold.
Well you hold onto Sam 'Hindenburg' Gray. Burn man award for 2016 right there.

nathan · 20/04/2016 at 09:50
I'm ranked 500 not 38,000 (top 15% lol)- I don't have him…..
good luck with your 22 rookies and plenty of cash sort of season

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 11:55
Im 33, 000 but not that it's much different. Went for a totally different theory this year, have some fun and go for maximum growth but still try to make finals.
Thanks I will need luck but it's looking good so far.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 00:06
The greyling story was gold.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:17

@iambrowndawg · 19/04/2016 at 20:48
I was thinking of something along the lines of Zmerret or Sloane

SCaddict · 19/04/2016 at 21:03
I'm likely doing a double downgrade this week but if I was getting in a premo forward it would probably be Zerrett.

Danners · 19/04/2016 at 22:07
Robinson or Merrett

hedski · 19/04/2016 at 23:50
Send it t me dude I'll get fyfe 😉

Tommo09 · 19/04/2016 at 20:55
$446300 left in the bank

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 21:21
I think you can get away with that defense then use the warchest to upgrade someone next week.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 00:13
There was some low scores last week but jeez. Sounds like you need to go bang-bang and cull some players.

derek · 20/04/2016 at 12:09
same boat jack. cream will still rise to the top

Northernsoul74 · 19/04/2016 at 21:13
Your thinking of trading in Kennedy or Parish?

Stevo · 19/04/2016 at 21:17
Possibly – greater JS than Menadue who may have flat-lined. BK is DPP but Parish looks to have better cash generation.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 21:18
De Goey BE 42. Keep.
Cutler just got a 97. BE 31. Keep.
Sheridan has a BE of 75 so is the best trade.
Buy gold it's about a dollar a round for the season pass.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:18
all

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 11:07
Agreed but not this week.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 00:04
I know he used to tag for the crows and it ruined his score a bit, and he can go missing.
He's a good player though but at that price I'd pass, not a premo.
Jarryd Lyons is risky but much cheaper, if he's named this week when crouch comes back his JS is looking good.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 00:02
Use fanfooty.

Don't Blush Babbie · 20/04/2016 at 05:38
I do mate, I play NRL and it's excellent watching who you are playing Head to Head monitoring scores.
Just don't why AfL SC can't have the same feature

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:19
scoring is alot more complex than NRL which is so much more structered and easy to follow

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 21:39
Libbe.

Danners · 19/04/2016 at 22:06
Libba easily, Yeo won't score like that every week

Tommy · 20/04/2016 at 09:18
Libba, especially since he gets more time in the guts than Yeo does

murray · 20/04/2016 at 09:23
libba easily

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 21:59
My crystall ball says yes he will continue to struggle. It was a cheap one off ebay though.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 10:19
If you still have WINES you must keep

Steeeve · 20/04/2016 at 10:34
He'll improve. Port can't be this awful forever. Most people thought they'd start the year like a shower of shit, not a steaming pile of shit.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 00:01
Fyfe has scored big in a couple of rounds it's hard to ignore. Grab him while you can afford it.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 21:38
Like the team at the moment. Could trade Hewett though for Darcy Byrne Jones via DPP (menadue into mid bench, tippa/brown up forward)

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 21:36
Job security concerns in a cats defense full of good veterans.

Danners · 19/04/2016 at 22:05
That would be because everyone brought Ruggles in last week, Ruggles would be a better option at the moment though

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 22:18
Disagree

Loop · 20/04/2016 at 07:00
Me too. I'm a bit wary of Geelong rookies now.

Mac · 20/04/2016 at 07:15
Personally I think Ruggles spot is safe. He's hard at it and Geelong really like him. He could have easily played round 1 and has been unlucky to be kept out of the side.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 22:08
Beams won't be back for a while though and Zorko is a proven SC scorer.
With Merret yes he's young but he's had 41 AFL games now, and he was very consistent last year and increased his scoring significantly.
Dahlhaus is extremely consistent and is showing that again this year.
So hard to pick one of those, but I like Merrett, the kid is a ball magnet with 30 touches a game, he's also had 8 tackles in each of the last 3 matches. those stats are enough for me to say lock him in.

Michael · 19/04/2016 at 22:07
Yep, I'm getting rid of Barlow. Have seen enough. If it wasn't for those tackles he would have struggled to get 60 on the weekend. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets dropped for the kids as well.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 22:11
Tough call but if you are happy with everything else in your team, you've got to trust your gut and make bold moves on players that are possibly letting your team down.

Lucky · 19/04/2016 at 22:33
No. That's daisy mate

Luke · 19/04/2016 at 23:08
Good call

SCaddict · 19/04/2016 at 22:40
He's never been a speedster Luke but he does look particularly lumbering with Freo struggling. I think we were pretty lucky to get 81 out of him last weekend.
I'm probably doing a double downgrade this week so Spudlow will get one last chance at home against the Blues. If he dishes up more 80ish mediocrity or worse then that's definitely it. He's just doing the bare minimum to sustain his existence in Addicts but enough will be enough next week if he can't produce the goods and ton up. The same goes for De Goey.

Luke · 19/04/2016 at 23:08
With his relatively achievable breakeven, might keep him for 2 more weeks then trade to Wingard or Martin when they bottom out.
Every week so far I have traded him out about 15 times and reversed the trades. I want Merrett but he is now $530k and is it too late? I'm not sure, might be the cheapest we get him for the rest of the year if he manages to keep it up.

@winterjames5 · 19/04/2016 at 21:58
don't trade barlow his last two weeks have been good and he only has a be of 88 which he can make

Luke · 19/04/2016 at 22:15
He just looks too slow and 100 points is about his ceiling by the looks of it.
After watching the last couple of Freo games it is hard to get excited by the bloke. He had 9 tackles and kicked a goal on the weekend and still only scores 81 supercoach points. Not good signs

hedski · 19/04/2016 at 23:55
Sam mitchell looks slow too.
Just a thought.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 22:21
Both Byrnes. Like their JS and consistent scoring.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 00:22
Go bang bang. Papley out, Adams forward, DBJ in. D6.
Dunkley/Gresham out. Menadue to mid. AMT forward. Byrne in.
Your team looks good just gotta keep the money rolling in.
Not a big fan of some of your picks ie Wingard, Sheil, Duncan but they are good players that can and will score well.

TRIGGER HAPPY · 20/04/2016 at 11:20
Thanks southern. Yeah I think cash gen is the way to go. Gotta as have some pods they r mine. Happy with sheil just waiting for the big one but so far ward has picked up the extra points, Wingard has been disappointing but expect him and port to really come out firing this weekend. Duncan big inconsistent but he can go big.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 23:20
Like it.

Tommo09 · 20/04/2016 at 08:16
Very nice team.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 23:19
Pap and Hewett if not named.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 23:59
Crouch due back and you've already had him on bench, has lots of potential and a low BE
Barlow 88 BE and has stopped bleeding. Possible to increase to increase his scoring.
Ben Ken 56 BE very possible he'll keep going up in value.

DDJ · 20/04/2016 at 00:30
I totally agree with your wisdom mate, it's just a shame that I already wasted 2 trades to bring in papley and hewett, I thought they were valuable cash cows and they haven't provided much value… Fingers crossed the Byrnes boys don't follow in their footsteps

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 00:38
Yep it sucks, I started with hewett but traded in papley on the bubble and he did nothing for me.
Oh well these are the things we have to do to make money, and I feel there's not going to be too many options later in the season, I've already got a big warchest but can't help but think I have to get both Byrne's in this week.

Russ · 20/04/2016 at 00:42
I don't believe trading in Rookies who may not keep their job is definitely not essential, rather trade no one or only an injury or trade someone in who has JS and will score you points.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 11:58
I see Byrne from Carlton holding his job all year. Not so sure on the other bubble boys.

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 23:58
You thinking of bringing him in or trading out?

Southern S · 19/04/2016 at 23:57
Papley to Burn-Jones. Don't like the second trades.

Russ · 20/04/2016 at 00:43
Ruggles might not keep his job, Byrne Jones might not keep his job, waste of trades.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 00:08
Sloane not a top ten mid. Zerrett possibly a top forward, go with Zerrett.

Wow · 20/04/2016 at 16:06
How can you just say "not a top ten mid"
Sloane is a gun…… I don't know where you get your logic from. A lot of bold statements and a lot of silly ideas

Lachie · 22/04/2016 at 17:46
Sloane isn't a top 10 mid this season in my prediction… With Dangerman gone, the tag is almost always heading towards Sloane.

Flaccid Jaff · 20/04/2016 at 02:21
I'd go sloane, best midfielder at the club, reckon he'll be right up there

Kev · 20/04/2016 at 08:08
The eyes light up when you're sitting on that kind of coin. Personally I recommend to hold off till upgrade season (round 8-9). Makes it a little more easier to upgrade those fattened rookies into reliable premo's.
Your call though

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 11:05
Lobbe is bleeding and scoring like a rookie backliner.

derek · 20/04/2016 at 12:04
Lobbe has to go

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 11:35
Option one is two risky players.
Option 2 is also 2 risky players.
Mitchell will get rested as he can't keep this up all season.
Although I like DBJ he is possibly risky too being so young, we all know how Papley turned out.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 11:14
If it's Dea, Weitering, Adams and one other you might get away with it for a small period of time.

Tommy · 20/04/2016 at 09:29
I am still unsure about Franklin, he is so up and down. He finished with a good score last week but he was in the negatives at quarter time. He has the ability to go big but will chuck in some stinkers.
Merrett is scoring well but for 530k, it is a risk considering he hasn't proven himself to score well all year. Jock reckons he will drop off. I would be going Zorko. Has shown he is a very good premium and a mostly reliable scorer.

murray · 20/04/2016 at 09:50
Thanks Tommy
I favour Zorko over the other 2 fwds also, but also like the prospects of Sloane or JPK in the mids. Any of these three would be reliable keepers, just deciding on which one??

Peter · 20/04/2016 at 10:19
Sloane for me at his price, very appealing

Tommy · 20/04/2016 at 10:22
Hmmmm, that is a much tougher question. JPK has started much slower, and may be dealing with 3-4 other premium mids at the swans potentially stealing his points. Sloane has been red hot this year so far. But what is worrying, is that since sloane is the main midfielder this year at the crows, he will attract the tag. Much more likely to be tagged than JPK. I would probably go JPK and back him to get back to form, but it is a real toss of the coin selection.

derek · 20/04/2016 at 12:02
JPK makes the other Swan midfielders look good. Most of his touches are contested handballs. Everytime JPK touches the ball, Parker or mitchell are there to receive. he is one of my favourite SC players. Not in my team yet, was hoping he might be a bit cheaper than his starting price.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 11:03
Sloane is risky with Thompson, Douglas and the Crouch brothers getting midfield time.
He's only had one big game this year and that was last week, not time to get excited by him.

derek · 20/04/2016 at 11:59
it is hard to argue that his first 4 scores of 91, 102, 109, 101 are "up & down", but i know what you mean.

murray · 20/04/2016 at 12:13
its is a tough one isnt it Derek. Franklin seems to be having a best start to a season for some time. He is a risk though, that is why it is safer to go JPK or Sloane i.e a proven mid

derek · 20/04/2016 at 12:41
i havn't watched enough of the swans games this year to know how he is playing. Sometimes scores don't refect how someone is playing, he might be playing better than his scores. Have you watched him this year?

murray · 20/04/2016 at 12:46
no, not much but what I have seen, Franklin is flying. Seems very fit and confident at the ball

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 12:51
Yep Franklin going well. If I was going to lock in a tall forward it would be him by far.

derek · 20/04/2016 at 13:13
not Cloke?

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 13:19
Cloke a close second 🙂

breakevens · 20/04/2016 at 10:38
Byrne's job security looks better but DBJ has better scoring capacity
flip a coin

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 12:18
DBJ
HIGHLY rated at Port by his fellow team mates
do a google search on DBJ and you will see

Chill · 20/04/2016 at 11:54
Depends.. 1st option you are standing by your original structure decisions. Docherty is a good replacement for JJ. You are trading out a rookie who is done, for a bubble boy. all good.
Option 2 changes your structure. You are bolstering you mid-field but leaving you open in D. How will you move to fix this in the coming weeks? What is your longer term plan? Doesnt leave you with much money in the bank.
Personally I would take option 1.

James · 20/04/2016 at 12:01
That's a fair call mate. I am considering changing my initial structure purely because I trust the scoring of my defensive rookies more than my mid/fwds

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 12:11
The old change the structure fear mongering. Like it matters you just downgrade/upgrade in a few weeks time and lock another premo in the backline. Structure back to normal.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 12:01
2nd option, midfielder is going to score more than docherty, well you'd hope so.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 12:17
Get Hanne
Your DEF will be weak but he will make up for it
Get your team to full premo asap then worry about everything else

Anil · 20/04/2016 at 12:50
prefer the 2nd option, hannerz should avg 20 pts more than docherty and tippa will avg 65-70 hopefully (can be fielded)

Lachie · 22/04/2016 at 17:47
You're wasting trades

James · 20/04/2016 at 11:50
When you click trade Papley, you can click the 'S" next to a def/fwd eligible player. In this case it is Tippa, which moves him to the forward line from my back line. Then I can trade in a defender for papley

Chill · 20/04/2016 at 11:51
Trade out papley, move one of you defenders who have DPP eligibility (ie. Marcus Adams (DEF/FWD, Anthony Mc-T (DEF/FWD, M Brown etc. then by DBJ… that's why we have dual position players…

Lachie · 22/04/2016 at 17:48
you rookie

Tommy · 20/04/2016 at 11:48
i reckon hold. The crows draw opens up now, so i am expecting he hits some form

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 12:08
Trade.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 12:16
Hold
refer to my post below

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 12:15
neither

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 12:33
Zerret, Zorko, Dahlhaus?

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 12:15
Papsmear gone
maybe bring Tippa to your FWD line and bring in DBJ in DEF
That should free up an extra 100k to spend next week
good luck

derek · 20/04/2016 at 12:38
you have done very well to be ranked in the top 200. Important not to get carried away and chace points to maintain your rank. Some people may have even traded out Gibson last week.
If Hewett, menadue or paps not named, they should go.

YUM14U · 20/04/2016 at 21:10
I held onto Gibson last week but this week will take your advice and wait for team lists and then decide whom to downgrade out of Paps, Hewitt, Menadue etc. Trying to slowly build the war chest over the next few weeks…

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 12:30
Unless it's Sam Gray because he's not a premo, Can't be proven with a 90 average and 10 games under the belt in 2015.

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 12:35
Shouldnt have Sam Gray to start with
However if you have him, think of why you have him. If i had him in my team i would hold as its been 4 weeks and the week you trade him out he will ton up
nothing changes
paint the fence. dont sideways trade premos

murray · 20/04/2016 at 12:53
understand, be disciplined however I am not sure SGray is premo now

derek · 20/04/2016 at 13:11
look for an underpriced premo then

derek · 20/04/2016 at 12:31
I agree Wheels. At the start of every year we all forget how important trades are. No worries attitude (it is like my son with his pocket money).

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 12:37
pocket money DOES burn a hole in the pocket though…. so i can understand that!

derek · 20/04/2016 at 13:12
the difference is that he gets more $ the next week. In supercoach their comes a time when there is no MORE.

murray · 20/04/2016 at 12:34
wheels, what do you do with SGray then? He is not premo and has underperformed this year. I think anybody who has hom (incl myself) should dispose of him. I cant see him returning to what he was producing, even though he might have the odd good SC score. However he is too risky

@wheels_1987 · 20/04/2016 at 12:40
my opinion is that you hold him
fill your lines with solid premo picks
then, when your team is taking shape THEN trade him out
by then you will have more data and he may even start playing the way you wanted when you chose him in the first place
dont forget Port have been getting flogged. I would hold till AT LEAST the bye rounds

murray · 20/04/2016 at 12:50
Understand your point, but he might just keep dropping points and $, so some might say trade now so you can a proven player eg JPK or Sloane. ie cut your losses and say it was a mistake getting him in the first place. Cant get every pick from the start right sometimes

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 12:54
This is where 'the rule book' has to be thrown out the window.
Sam Gray was an over priced anomaly and there are burn men every year.
Adapt and survive.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 12:34
Merret's BE is 90 so he won't go up too much.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 12:57
2013 – 95 ave
2014 – 83.6
2015 – 86.7
Your stats are way off.

derek · 20/04/2016 at 13:10
i have him in my draft team, and looking to get rid of him while he has some value.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 13:17
Sorry thought you wrote last 3 years, my bad.
He is going very well this season and always showed promise but never seems to hold his form for long. Could be a good POD if he keeps it up.

Northernsoul74 · 20/04/2016 at 12:55
Brad Crouch might be back this week. If you've held him to now I'd be keeping him to benefit from his price rise.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 13:16
The seed has shown some good moments but is more than likely to stagnate at his mid price. 62 BE.
Sam Gray is bleeding money and is highly doubtful to be anywhere near a top forward this year. Lost 59k and with a 129 BE that he looks far from achieving.
Brad crouch hasn't lived up to expectations but with only a 25 BE is a possibility to bounce back.
Fallen premos are usually a really bad trade but I feel like Sam Gray is unproven to be in that category. Trade him to a bubble defender and sue the warchest to upgrade Seed/crouch to premos in coming weeks.

Southern S · 20/04/2016 at 13:09
Mills only a 20 BE and you paid good money for him.
Had a good game vs the crows on the weekend (84 SC) and showed the class he was hyped up for. 23 touches, 10 contested and 5 inside 50's. Hold for sure.

Tommy · 20/04/2016 at 13:56
Yeah, do the JJ trade this week and do the Fyfe trade in the next couple of weeks

Adam · 20/04/2016 at 17:47
Wouldn't bring in Pendles until he no longer has a 'sore rib'

Leeds17 · 21/04/2016 at 06:05
I would expect Lachie hunter to go 105+ for the next 6-8 weeks,
