CONGRATUATIONS TO THIS WEEK’S $1000 WINNER – TOM “BIGDOG” ROLTON, WHO HIT THE BIGGEST WEEKLY SCORE WHILE HE WAS PLAYING COACHKINGS DOWN AT THE MORPHETT ARMS HOTEL.
Confirmed Suckling out for at least 4 weeks.
Thinking I'll hold this week. I have no Fyfe and no real urgency to trade out Dea, BenKen or Menadue. Even if they're done fattening I'd rather wait until bubble boys arrive. Also, Dusty and Robbie Gray looking even tastier after another week or two of price drops.
Thoughts?
Right move. Hold unless you need to get rid of Fyfe.
been playing around with some potential trades, and would like some thoughts
Defence:
Laird, Adams, Houli, Weitering, Dea, DBJ (Byrne, Ruggles)
Midfield:
Dangerfield, Ablett, Hannebery, Priddis, RGray, Taylor Adams, Shiel, Parish (Hewett, Davis, Gresham)
Ruck:
Gawn, Nic Nat (Lorensch – for loophole)
Forward:
Hall, Wells, Kerridge, De Goey, Benken, AMT (Menadue, Petraca)
I have 518k in the bank and the trades I was thinking of were
Dea ——> Buddy
BenKen—–> Zorko
i feel like both of these rookies need to go and bringing in the two above will mean my Fwd line will be strong but my only concern is having 4 onfield rookies in the backline, so my question community is it better to trade Dea to a Fwd premo or Defence Premo
finally thanks community for all the advice, im sitting at 10,000 so not panic stations yet
I like them trades James,but keep in mind you're buying those players at peak price. Dusty and Wingard will be good trades in the coming weeks.
what are people doing with M.Brown? Have the money to upgrade to fantasia but might just hold?
I'd hold. BE of 11 no need to use a trade he isnt going to go down in value for a bit
He's a slow burner providing bench coverage. Hopefully he gets up to $250 then time to sell
If you were going to upgrade I wouldn't do it to Fantasia. Either drop him to a bubble rookie or upgrade him to a season long keeper.
just hold him for now
will help to know how your bank is sitting right now, but without knowing
Fyfe >> Parker
anyone else having a shit season? Have been top 1-3% last 3 years but im ranked at almost 40,000 now. Started with a pretty stock-standard team, not too many PODs but obviously im no jock reynolds
These podcasts only thing keeping me from rage quitting at the moment
Finished600 lastyear and im 26,000 atm
Finished top 100 last year and in top 600 the two years before. Currently at 22000 this year with nothing seeming to work. Even upgrades are costing me points. Long season though and things will turn around.
Exact same boat as you mate top 1% three years running and this year sitting at 23000
I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet. If you can stabilise your side with some sound strategic trades, you can rise up the rankings very quickly. Your next goal should be to get through the byes with flying colours. Many coaches fall over during the bye rounds. Perhaps you need to be super focused to start trading in players with the byes well and truely in mind right now. When other coaches are scrambling during these 3 rounds, you can make up some nice ground during that time. Anything can happen after that.
Cheers
Don't worry Tret, your results speak for itself. As the season unfolds, the cream will rise to the top.Its only R5 therefore alot of people (experienced and rookies) still have the same teams.
do I go crouch to tracca if tracca is named this weekend? to make cash for weitering and kennedy upgrades next rd
No. Wait until he is on the bubble, then trade him in. Anything can happen, if he gets injured or suspended in his first 2 games, you won't be happy. Even though he is a much better player than Ruggles, everyone who jumped on him after 1 game wouldn't be to happy with him.
Depends if crouch named… but plenty of other cows to send to the butcher regardless
Assuming that is b crouch
No you've held crouch this long you hold, BE of 24 due for his first price rise.
hi community, thoughts on dea-boyd? I know he's old but he still aveaged 103 last year. He's a good price at 490k and i think he can average 90-100 for the season. What do you think?
Depends how superstitious you are, going by Doggies luck with backman atm he's only a week away from snapping his leg in half and missing the rest of the year
I am also looking at Boyd. Simpson and Docherty are also on my list
Not looking at any defenders just yet, my focus is on full premo mids and fwds first.
A lot of the predicted top defenders are up and down (Houli/Shaw/Gibson), in and out (Rance/JJ/Gibson)
The only people who have been solid is Laird, Simpson and Docherty it seems.
I like the idea of using the rookies back there to their full extent and getting the midfield premos and to a lesser extent the forward line sorted. Backline last.
Community, you thoughts on the following possible Fyfe-replacements please, (these are pod midfielders)
– Dan Hannerbery
– Steele Sidebottom
– Sam Mitchell
– Rory Sloane
– Joel Selwood
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
Selwood, sloane, hannerbery, sidebottom then mitchell. IMO
Selwood and Hannebery YES
Everyone else on that list NO
Hannebery or Selwood. Sloane possibly. Not Mitchell or Sidebum.
Hanners, Sidebottom, Selwood, in order for me.
Weird round just gone, plenty of decent scores but a few blokes including myself got shafted through an unlucky combination of every who decided to spud it up (looking at you Gray, Fyfe, BenKen etc.)
Is kade simpson a top 6 defender or thereabouts? If so this is the week to get him. Will he average more than docherty? Looking at getting shaw in next week too if he scores above 95.
I like Docherty more than Simpson, but both would be close to a top 6 defender. 95 ish average most likely for both players.
Maybe not top 6 but points diff between him and 6th will be negligible
Simpson will be top 6. Has been a consistent performer over the past few years. Taken more responsibility this year.
Simpson will be more consistent than Docherty, and average slightly more.
Should i go martin to gawn or suckling to a premo?
Gotta move suckling pig – out for a minimum of four weeks
I did Suckling up to Gray two weeks ago…..might be a better move now?
Suckling to PREMO mate. No point trading Martin
Simpson or laird for dea
Laird IMO
Simpson or dockerty for dea
Crystal ball job there, go with your gut.
Flip a coin
What moves are you thinking mate?
I've used up about 5 trades so far this season, I'm going Fyfe to Pendlebury, is it worth trading Dea to Parker (through DPP) or should I conserve my trades?
Definitely! If you can upgrade a rookie to a keeper you should do it in a heartbeat. Maybe not Parker, but getting any elite mid for Dea would be a huge win.
If you have DBJ to move off the bench go for it mate. Parkers a great choice, will end up in the top 10 mids given he gets through the season without injuries, which is why I started with him along with selwood. Just make sure u got someone to cover for dea without sacrificing points on field.
SGray projected to lose another 23k on top of the 91k he's already bled. I can't even say it's been a rollercoaster owning you buddy, more like a giant drop. Will go down as one of my greatest stain in the underpants pick.
Fyfe to Selwood
Gray to Hall
I'm hearing you Kev, too late to trade now. We just have to sit it out until we can use him as bench cover for the forward/midfield. Can't wait to bench him, definitely one of the worst picks of the season.
I convinced myself of that last week, Keithy! That he couldn't get any worse, surely not, then he comes out with an effort like that (which I'm not sure you can even call effort).
The only reason I don't like the trade is because it will empty the cash I have, cash I was hoping to use come upgrade time.
I chop the bastard Keithy, he is not going to do anything this year and is only going to bleed more cash, Get out now whilst you can get $400k from him and get a more reliable option
I traded the mega spud 2 weeks ago for Zorko The Magnificent and have been duly rewarded and never happier! S Gray is season 2016's "Burn Man".
The spud should change his name from Sam to Cliff.
He Shit, Kev. I should have turfed him last week, cost me a win in my money league
You have to listen to the podcasts mate.
Crouching one's little Grayling story summed it up last week.
There is only one Gray worth having. (and even he is spudding it up at the moment)
Getting my shark on this week lads. Fyfe to Lyons and Callum (The #%^$#%^ Spud) Sinclair to petracca. will have 1.2 mill in bank
Im a big fan of Lyons, however i dont think he will keep the 90ave coming. especially since last year he averaged 44 over 12 games. more likely to average 65-80 this year
If i get 80 avg out of the Lyon King ill be happy, any more and thats just gravy.
His low games were all sub affected Matt, he wore 8 of them last year.
And fairly sure he came into the game wearing the vest, not the other way round, so his scoring is actually good for time on ground.
Not saying trade him in for 300k though, High risk move looked better when i picked him up for 240k.
I wouldnt trade in Petracca this week if your gunna have 1.2 mill in the bank. Have a look at him first. Get yourself a Zorko or a Dahlhouse if you have that sort of money.
Interesting to have no mention of the zack smith dilemma or thoughts on weiterings 79 B/E. I think I'll hold weitering but zack smith is a real concern, should we hold or trade?
I have $589k and 27 trades remaining, what ruckman would be worth looking at other than Naitanui if I were to trade smith? Goldy and Gawn are too expensive at the moment for my liking.
Also thoughts on Ben ken to Brodie smith via dpp? I reckon there's a bit of value in that trade or would Tom lee be a smarter move?
620k for 2 games above 150 is to much? not for me
Gawn or Goldy are must haves
I would put Gawn straight in, then sit back and enjoy the massive points each week.
I dumped Z Smith for Blicavs 2 weeks ago and he stunk it up with a 50 odd first fame but came back strongly this week with 115. I had him last year and he will avg over 100 for season and is durable. Also have Max Gawn who is SC Gold!
I'll be holding Weitering, Dea and Adams for as long as they can keep their scoring up, regardless of whether their prices plateau. Collectively they've been reliable for an 80 average which is enough to keep my defence ticking over while I focus on upgrading the other lines.
The only rucks worth having this year are Goldy, Gawn and Nic Nat – maybe Blicavs for a POD but not worth it IMO. I'd still favour Goldy over Gawn just because of his consistency the last few years.
Ben Ken to B Smith? All depends on if you think Smith is a defensive keeper, otherwise Tom Lee is the obvious downgrade target for this round. Personally I'm looking at Kennedy as a means to getting Zorko/Dahlhaus/Selwood type upgrade rather than upgrading anything in defence.
Community I would love your thoughts on who will be the top 6 defenders by year end.
Shaw… Laird… Simpson..?
I'm thinking; Shaw, Laird, McVeigh, Bartel, Rance, Dawson
Dawson #1 defender this year imo
I'm thinking he will slot straight into the guts to fill Fyfes role
Maybe brownlow on the cards for dawson?
Like the bartel pick for top 6 defender too Derek he has the potential of course, but maybe not the role at Geelong anymore to pull off the big scores..
I can't tell if this is tongue in cheek or not? I'm oblivious to this, can you explain why?
Dawson is statistically the worst player in fantasy football, I'm honestly not sure if he's got a score over 100 in his career 🙂
Shaw, Laird, Docherty, Kolodjashnij, Houli, Boyd
Closely followed by Rance, Smith, Simpson, McVeigh
Dawson, Dawson, Dawson, Dawson, Dawson, Dawson
Anyone jumping on Priddis? High BE but always has a slow start to season before banging out some big scores. Could be a bit of a POD
Saving for him after the bye
waiting for the drop off in price, BenKen to priddis would be sweet in 1-2 weeks time
Best mid under 595k I've got gaz danger Selwood Shiel Liba mills and Parker or do you think there is better value else where. I'm thinking Pendlebury right now
Look at Cripps from Carlton, 3 very very winnable games coming up for Carlton, could do some damage, in 10% of teams
Pendles. Lock.
Just a wot if question.
If Petracca plays next week who would you put on the field Pretracca playing St. Kilda, or Papley playing Bris.
Papley makes me nervous and yet to see Petracca in AFL game (but killing it in VFL) ?
Any thoughts community
flip of the coin really, the hype around Petracca is massive, so id go with him,
Managed to come first down at Cardina Hotel (Anzac day game), I think I got up at about 30th overall, so not too bad of a game.
Surely you go danger before parker right?
100%
Danger 145 BE upcoming GCS (SS) WCE (SS) ADEL (AO) COLL (MCG)
I think Danger is more likely to go down in value.
Parker 120 BE upcoming BRIS (G) ESS (SCG) RICH (MCG) HAWKS (MCG)
But who knows, and you need both ideally so take your pick.
Does Ben Ken and Dea have to go this week ?
No
Dea and then Benken, if you have fyfe, id go Fyfe and Dea trade
community, whose the best option for matt dea, simpson ,docherty or laird
I had laird so i went simpson
Laird.
Is it to late to trade in DBJ.
Yes
Yep it's too late. Remember anyone can turn into a spud at anytime, welcome to supercoach 2016!
Most of us paid 200000 for wieterboi expecting an average of 80 odd dont see why dbj is any different

THANK YOU, UPVOTE IF YOU WANT THIS EVERY AFL PODCAST DAY
One bad game by Dea I reckon we should hold him for a couple more weeks, is playing my blues this week so should score ok.
61, 87, 95, 73 and 41 in a huuuge blowout tells me he can make his BE.
Problem is Dea a shit footballer and there's a chance he's scores come back down to earth.
His BE is reachable by a poor footballer though. Can understand people trading him though, just like papley to a byrne boy last week there's pros and cons.
Has anyone else got K.K? What are your guys' plans for him come the end of the season? I'm feeling alright about him because he's playing as a winger for GC (last time I checked).
I have him. only 1 good score so far. Hope he can find some consistency and be a nice POD.
I have him and will be holding. he'll come good.
I started with him too. Stick with him, could be up there with best defenders come seasons end
Definitely going to stick with him Jaff, just wondering what the communities thoughts were 🙂
Stick with him. Was sore in round one and I reckon he's still warming up. Bloody frustrating though hey.
I'm seriously considering Fyfe to Tom Lee this week. It gives me 1 more week to see which rookies are the shittest. Gives me swings across 3 lines too. Also my upgrade targets such as Parker and Shaw have high enough BEs this week to not go up in price much. I know I may lose a few points this round, but sets me up for a double upgrade next week. Thoughts?
Yep like it, because if you trade out any of the rookies now they could easily bounce back and cause regret.
Sit on the warchest and pick them off once they are ripe enough to fall off the tree.
Thats exactly what I have done.
Thoughts on Biggs?
He bigg burnman … welcome!
Potential burns. Go rookie or premo.
What to do with Wingard community?
Flush him down the dunny. That mop of his makes for the perfect toilet brush!
And once that is done, get the Glen 20 out to get rid of the stench.
When did he get the hit to the head? Was it before half time?
Thinking Fyfe to Scully bit of a POD and gives me cash for double upgrade next week as I'm thinking of upgrading Bartel and Dea
Dea and Weitering have pretty high BEs, people holding or moving on? Must admit upgrading one to Shaw is mighty enticing.. But most likely i'll be downgrading 2 this week, and then upgrading both weltering and Dea next week to Shaw and Laird/Simpson/Martin
Also, I just have to leave Byrne Jones now right? no point chasing him after his initial increase? Awesome BE still.
Both Dea and Weitering go for me this week to make way for Heater and Lee.
You keeping Fyfe addict?
That's one bullet I managed to dodge Mac as I didn't start with Fyfe.
I've had the JJ, Rocky and Crouch messes to clean up in previous weeks so glad to finally get a week off on the injury front.
id do the same to if i could addict, but i have fyfe. im lookin at adding lee and parker
Yep I'd get on Parker too with the Swans upcoming draw. I'm hoping Hanners, Mills and Smear in my own side can also cash in against the Lions, Dons and Tiges.
Actually DB you may have persuaded me to do likewise and keep Heater for next week as he's unlikely to go up much in price against the Hawks this weekend with a BE in the 120s. In fact I just checked and he hasn't tonned up the last few times he's played the Hawks so he may even be a little cheaper next week if history repeats.
Why trade Dea?
He should make BE
I'm targeting Dea down to Petracca via DPP and Fyfe to Parker with $348K left in the kitty for future upgrades.
Should Bartel be held? Had him since round 1 and not providing
I'm holding him at least for this round playing at skilled against the Suns hopfuly has a good game if not shouldn't drop to much cash
I think so I've had him since round 1 as well. I've also been trying to get Derek to trade him to me in the Draft game but no luck in three weeks so far. But I'm thinking of drafting in Dawson to make a super trade for Jimmy. Fingers crossed Derek sees value in the trade offer 🙂
You know my weakness
🙂
Hold bartel, reassess midyear
Like Scully hope it works out for you Wayno.
Cheers he's looking good this year will see how it goes
Good onya Wayno. Bringing those left of field picks. Keeps the community on their toes
dea to tommy lee??
One trade this week as Fyfe needs to go.
Not really ready to add premos in mids apart from Pendles, but I desperately need to fix R2 (currently Tippett).
So out goes Fyfe, shift BenKen to MID, shift Tippett to FWD, and bring in Gawnster.
Ultimate Double DPP shift!!
Team now:
DEF: Heater, Laird, Adams (FWD), Weitering, DBJ, Wagner (Hartley, Ruggles)
MID: Hanners, Ward, Libba, Wines, Priddis, BenKen (FWD), Mills, Oliver (Kerridge (FWD), Davis, Keays)
RUC: Goldy, Gawn (MKing (FWD))
FWD: Hall (MID), Wells (MID), Buddy, Barlow (MID), Tippett (RUC), AMT (DEF) (Brown (DEF), Rioli)
$553K in the bank, Pendles in next week for maybe BenKen or Oliver (or both too soon?)
Thoughts welcome, thanks all 🙂
I like were your team is ATM and it doesn't look like everyone else's team and you have cash in the bank . I would look at Parker or Selwood over Pends but see how he goes this week
Cheers Wayno, I'd jump on Parker but with 4 Swans already it might bite me come bye time. Now's the time to start thinking bye strategy and I already have 13 players with the bye in R14. Jelwood could be the one as he has R15 bye, also Pendles has bye in R13.
Shark move in thought, what do you think is vital for rank change. An upgrade from dea to heath shaw (fairly common premo yet proven) or an upgrade from dea to docherty (a bit more of a POD). Keep in mind I already have Simpson so would mean simpson and docherty in same defense. Let me know your thoughts.
You have Weitering? If so, that would make it three.
I am not saying that is a bad thing, as Carlton spend plenty of time defending their goal line. That said, when the byes arrive, three blues on your backline would make a crowd with the likelihood that one or more of your other defenders also have a bye that round. Just keep that in mind.
I hate donuts. Cheers
Whats Lee's JS like?
I'll be shocked if he's dropped. Did nothing as a forward, dominated in the VFL last season as a key defender, up there in the b/f for Sandy. Came in for Roberton, shouldn't lose his spot any time soon.
what do i do with suckling.
apparently he is out for 4 weeks
trade
When loersch and dunkley gonna play
Maybe never.
Who should I trade Fyfe for? Other premo midfielders are – Ablett, Danger, Gray, Ward, and Parker!
Ziebell
Selwood or Hannaberry
Who has Grimley but is thinking of bringing in Cox if he's picked the next two weeks? Could keep Grimley and sit Cox in the forward line…
Both those players are a waste of space at this current time. Grimley would've been good in R3 if he never played as a constant loophole with bombers having lots of sunday games coming up.
But yeah keep your eye on big cox (lol)
Fyfe > Out. Wells/Kerridge > Mid. Tippa/Adams > Fwd. Rance > Bench. Matty Boyd > In.
Like it Derek bit of a POD and defenders crashing and burning around him, but the old warhorse is still kicking!
He's a proven 100 point average player and only owned by 4.6% of teams. He's almost 34 though…….there is an element of risk.
Have $1,196,300 for two premos with Fyfe and Dea getting the boot
Already have Shaw, Laird, Danger, Parker, Wines, Zorko, Hall, ZMerrett.
Was thinking Ablett+Priddis, but now considering Ward+Selwood
Ablett and Priddis all day
Ablett and Selwood, although there is talk of Gaz looking sore.
Priddis I feel isn't 100% coming off a niggle and scoring a low 87. BE of 134 so no rush getting him in.
Pendles/Hanne/Selwood are on my radar at the moment.
