From what ive seen of the blues Docherty has been on kick on duties so that should sway you that way imo

siri · 23/05/2016 at 10:53
I got both

siri · 23/05/2016 at 10:54
The doc first

Cozza · 23/05/2016 at 11:55
I already have Simpson and thinking of bringing Docherty in this week – both look great at the moment

Josh · 23/05/2016 at 22:17
What about for byes tho
You will have 2 blues rather than 1?

Dex · 25/05/2016 at 13:40
doch 100% mate i got him at 470 if you look at his two low scores they both came in shitty games ez call for me kade could struggle later as if you watch his games he appears to be allowing doch to cover for both of them sometimes as he gets a quick rest 🙂 expect kade and doch to score the same way they have all year leaving docherty over 620 come the end of the season

Pjay · 23/05/2016 at 11:10
I reckon zero

Wattsieesq · 23/05/2016 at 11:50
Well, you would be wrong as it's only Monday morning and already 338 people have made that trade.

Pjay · 24/05/2016 at 00:17
Sorry, I will clarify that a bit better. I reckon zero people that have at least half an idea of how supercoach works.

dean · 23/05/2016 at 14:52
silly trade you goose

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 11:44
imagine if you had the VC on Goldy, but then went and put the C on Shaw.

Boltons Blues · 23/05/2016 at 11:22
Laird, Ablett, Wells and Hall should all be back this week
for me personally with 222k in the bank, if you down grade DBJ to Willams (Dogs) and upgrade Menadue to Montagna
Ive done the same instead i went Pendles instead, hes in to good of form to knock back and is a proven scorer

Nick · 23/05/2016 at 11:25
Perfect, that's exactly my thoughts. Thanks boss.

Nick · 23/05/2016 at 11:48
Trading out DBJ and Menapoo gives me the money I need to trade any player in – thoughts? Dependles seems like such a good pick – it is worth the pricetag when I could save big $$$ and only sacrifice 10-15 points per game and potentially look at a POD like Viney, Coniglio, Neale, Riewoldt or Treloar?

Danksverymuch · 24/05/2016 at 11:19
I'm loving Lachie Neale & Sloane dog as POD picks

The Mountain · 23/05/2016 at 11:26
Trade menaspud, kennedy still has cash to make and can be a cover option if you have injuries

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 12:27
nice team you have building there Bolts. what your rank? you have kept McCaffer & Dunkley! amazing.
Who do you have reserved for your D6?
your forward line looks a little light, who do you have your eye on to fill the premium places?

Boltons Blues · 23/05/2016 at 12:38
5730 is my current rank (1100 points roughly behind #1), my problem is my round 13 bye where i have to many players out to fix/waste trades on fixing, so im letting it go, which will see my fall behind a fair bit
D6 is an interesting one, at the start of the season i left myself with a 50/50 call, Bartel or Laird, now ive stayed away from Bartel and looked at other options (didnt start Rance or Docherty), I think Bartel, Gibson and Boyd are fighting it out for that last spot, im quite happy running with Byrne till after the bye rounds, and then will look to bring in one of those 3
Forward line is weakish, but still getting the job done (this week atleast) Kennedy was on 40 at 1/4 time but slowed down which is a shame, i dont think you can ignore Zorko, gets the job done every week, but 570k, hes getting up in price and might have to pass on him until he comes back down (hopefully) Nick Riewoldt has been in ripping form, dont think i can pick him though, Joey Montanga has been in good form, if Richmond get their shit together, Lids will find his way into my team eventually

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 12:55
your cash generation is a bit of a worry with having Dunkley, McCaffer and grimley doing nothing. i think davis should get a few games now. but with shortage of cash, maybe you might look at RGray, JPK or priddis instead of pendlebury and then you could afford Zorko

Boltons Blues · 23/05/2016 at 13:04
yeah its MacPherson haha
RGray i traded out when he was got injured, Priddas is the only one id consider out of those 3

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 13:20
i think pendles is a great inclusion, just putting it to you that cash is in short supply this year.
if you were thinking Priddis, this week is probably as cheap as you will get him.
pendles has a round 13 bye, libba has a round 14 bye, looks a nice trade if you are thinking upgrading

Boltons Blues · 23/05/2016 at 13:43
yeah cash generation is a worry, no doubt.
Would you consider trading Libba to Trengrove (once on the bubble/after their byes) to fill out the m8 spot? or is it to late to make any reasonable cash?

Higgo's Dog · 23/05/2016 at 16:29
how many trades left?

fedd · 23/05/2016 at 12:58
macpherson Derek not caff

Kevin Skywalker · 23/05/2016 at 12:37
Bailey Williams JS not all that high. However Keiran Collins JS might be worse off. Collins more likely to lose his spot to Adams. Williams fighting for spot with Boyd coming back and maybe Suckling too, this week

Matt · 23/05/2016 at 12:38
They're different players, but Williams has looked very good so far and I'd be disappointed if he was dropped

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 12:57
if he is named this week, i'll get him. very few opportunities to downgrade in defense, take the punt

yelad · 23/05/2016 at 14:13
there should be 5 big names back for the dogs so im worried about Willams JS

Northernsoul74 · 24/05/2016 at 12:01
Going on form Williams deserves to keep his spot, certainly ahead of Adcock.

Nick · 23/05/2016 at 11:13
Lock it in.

Warwick Capper · 23/05/2016 at 11:14
Are there any better options then Enright though? I cant see a solid defender anywhere.

Woodman · 23/05/2016 at 11:20
Gibson cheap at the moment if you're prepared for a roller coaster ride but is still averaging about 97.

The Mountain · 23/05/2016 at 11:22
laird should be back this week

jake · 23/05/2016 at 12:06
Laird or Gibson

Matt · 23/05/2016 at 12:47
wait for Laird

Ranger · 23/05/2016 at 22:02
Only prob is enright will be 'managed' at some point

Boltons Blues · 23/05/2016 at 11:19
198k with 106 and a 70 odd
Not a MUST have but you can pick him and sleep easy knowing he should keep his spot in the 22, they rate him highly but
Im passing this week, would rather pick Dependlebury instead and Trengrove and Mathieson are coming through soon

Loop · 23/05/2016 at 12:15
Will he keep Steele out of the team?

Boltons Blues · 23/05/2016 at 12:41
Well thats an interesting one, Griffen is back soon aswell along with Hoskin Elliot.
personally, i think he will hold his spot

TRIGGER HAPPY · 23/05/2016 at 14:29
Just be wary trengrove and pendles both have same bye. Throw in hannas/parker/petrecca etc.
One to think about if u r worried about byes.
Hopper suits my bye structure better and by the time he has his bye will look to downgrade.

Tommo · 23/05/2016 at 11:21
At that price, i dont think so

Steeeve · 23/05/2016 at 11:33
I said I'd get him if he scored an 80. Now getting him anyway because Mathieson didn't stretch my trousers and I don't know if MacPherson will be back all year. By the time he can return God, Hall, Jaeger and others should have returned.

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 12:20
the boy from Leeton looks pretty good, as a Leeton lad myself i'd be getting him. But there are going to be very few opportunities to downgrade in defense for the next few weeks and i'm going to take the chance now to free up some cash with Brown/Hartley >> Williams.
other trade will be Menadue >> Priddis
in the back of my mind i do worry about GWS resting their first year players and his price is steep (but worth every cent)

Danners · 23/05/2016 at 14:10
He is definitely not a must have, I won't be bringing him in. Williams is a good option though

TRIGGER HAPPY · 23/05/2016 at 14:25
I figure perfect way to get mendapoo out. $30k change over and you know he is gonna outscore mendapoo easily..handy m8 till the byes for mine
Lad looked good and right at home in the star studded midfield.

@wheels_1987 · 23/05/2016 at 14:37
not a must have
i wont be selecting him as he is expensive.
trying to move myself away from the pack (i didnt get Macpherson and that worked a treat)

Boltons Blues · 23/05/2016 at 11:38
I wouldnt worry about having both the Blue boys, i had 3 of them and all went 100+ (Byrne Doc and Simpson)
All 3 are used for rebounding, all 3 of them are trusted with the footy, dont let Simpson deter to you from Docherty

Danners · 23/05/2016 at 14:11
Adams to Montagna could wait on a defender

Wattsieesq · 23/05/2016 at 11:52
Option 2

BKW · 23/05/2016 at 12:06
2 or 3 – I'd keep libber, upgrade him last if you have the luxury

Matt · 23/05/2016 at 12:49
Option 2. No reason to upgrade Lib or Wells

Tommo · 23/05/2016 at 13:46
But having 14 players with week 1 bye is an issue isn't it?

Rod · 24/05/2016 at 21:55
Option 4 – don't trade!

Danners · 23/05/2016 at 14:12
Option 2 but a different defender, if you have a lot out in Round 13

Tommo · 23/05/2016 at 14:16
The only other options are Bartel or Pittard, i already have Gibbo,Shaw,

Average Joe · 23/05/2016 at 14:48
2

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 17:01
Libbe on a 71 BE two weeks after a record 19 tackles and 128 SC score……………

Tommo · 23/05/2016 at 17:05
I understand it isn't the best time anymore, just putting options out there

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 17:07
Just a reminder of his potential 🙂
I'm tempted to keep him all year but was hoping more would trade him out so I'd have a POD.

Tommo · 23/05/2016 at 17:18
Yeah, he could turn out to be a good M8 if he keeps getting midfield time.

Dan · 23/05/2016 at 21:22
Interesting POD. I nearly started him but didn't have the plums. Has definitely stepped it up this year working on his DE and it has shown through his metres gained and SC scoring. Be prepared for inconsistency though. I feel like a lot of Port players are up and down with the rest of the team.

EinsteinsSperm · 23/05/2016 at 22:07
Only bring in players that YOU believe will be top 8 for their position at seasons end.

EinsteinsSperm · 23/05/2016 at 22:08
The obvious clarification being 'if bringing in a premo'

GoldRush · 24/05/2016 at 01:05
Pitted is a Burnham, learnt that 2 years ago.

Skindog · 23/05/2016 at 12:51
I am I N Pieman, you have been warned Ross, by the greatest supercoacher of all time!!!

fedd · 23/05/2016 at 13:07
spelt the last word wrong pie

Skindog · 23/05/2016 at 13:15
Surely Barlows back in with Mundy going down( on Lyon)?

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 13:30
Can easily replace T with a W. Both more than appropriate

@wheels_1987 · 23/05/2016 at 14:38
amen

Rodger the dodger · 23/05/2016 at 12:39
Wines out? You are nuts and/or a first year SCer. NO sideways trade.

min0008 · 23/05/2016 at 12:55
Wines has been frustrating but will keep him

cashcows · 23/05/2016 at 13:07
Yeah I'm not sure it's a sideways if your going from a ""premo"" to an ultra premo. Just because they same price doesn't mean it's a bad trade.
Dont see why you need them to appreciate say 100k before it's a "good upgrade trade". You lose out on their points and 100k. But thats assuming they actually premo and arent chasing points. Think SS made a good point about it in the last thread.
For what it's worth, I'm considering the same trade and it aint my first year of SC.

Shenanigans · 23/05/2016 at 13:59
You've got to have bigger fish to fry than sideways premiums at this point. Must have another cow to cull somewhere in your side. Upgrades always come before sideways aka luxury trades

Danners · 23/05/2016 at 14:13
Martin to Goldstein, be the lowest you will get him for a while

@wheels_1987 · 23/05/2016 at 15:07
do not trade out wines
crazy trade

Tommo · 23/05/2016 at 12:13
Yeah im wondering the same thing. The fact that Trent West is getting ruck time really isnt sitting well with me.

min0008 · 23/05/2016 at 12:56
Thinking of doing the same and getting Goldy for him as I have nic nat

Redgumwon · 23/05/2016 at 13:28
Goldy looked sore after the weekends game. Will North give him a rest shortly along with his bye? I think that North may do so. So I'd be holding off on the Goldy trade until at least after the bye round. Otherwise you could find yourself playing a ruckman down?

Boltons Blues · 23/05/2016 at 13:48
If they didnt rest him this week, i dont think they will rest him before they bye, they have 6 year defining games to come, if they want to be considered for the flag, they need to win 4 out of 6
i reckon they are pretenders and will win 1 (against Richmond) and lose the other 5 (Swans, Cats, Hawks they will go close to beating them, Crows, Eagles

Danners · 23/05/2016 at 14:15
If I have learnt one thing this season, it is that patience is the key. HOLD

Perry · 23/05/2016 at 14:36
Thanks mate!

Perry · 23/05/2016 at 12:35
Im considering the same but with DBJ to Williams

Danners · 23/05/2016 at 14:15
Could wait a week if you are trading out Hewett, Adams to Williams is ok though

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 12:56
Going in for scans today or tomorrow Derek. I'd be expecting 8 weeks then probably back in the NEAFL for a bit. I'd plan to move him on

@wheels_1987 · 23/05/2016 at 14:48
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-05-23/injury-upda…
In for scans wont find out more for a few days

Shenanigans · 23/05/2016 at 16:28
Loophole option

breakevens · 23/05/2016 at 13:32
Looked at him extremely closely about a month ago but the fact that he tags put me off him
A bit expensive as well

Danners · 23/05/2016 at 14:16
Does look good, although his string of 100s are from games that GWS have won. Would rather Ward/Neale

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:27
Well in the 8 games he's played he's only been involved in one loss so hard to judge him on those isn't it?
Plus he got a 96 in the one loss vs Sydney………………..not terrible.
He tags but still racks up possessions, he's a gun and owned by 1% of teams. One of the best PODs out there and a surprise of the season, has really broken out.

Kev · 23/05/2016 at 19:26
Actually got to watch a gws game on the weekend and Ward is bloody arousing. Hard as a cats head

Billo · 24/05/2016 at 03:13
Yep like it.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:21
Here's his career……..
Year Games Ave SC
2008 6 34.2
2009 1 12.0
2010 4 50.0
2011 6 76.5
2012 20 76.0
2013 13 64.3
2014 10 74.8
2015 2 40.5
2016 1 72.0
Don't like it much.

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 13:06
maybe this week tom Lee will get another game?

hedski · 23/05/2016 at 13:16
Or darcy tucker?
Freo tho……

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 13:33
You can't pick Darcy Tucker. If he comes back & plays well he will be straight back out the team

The Mountian · 23/05/2016 at 14:07
He might be a bit safer with JS with Alex Pearce going down

BKW · 24/05/2016 at 08:30
Doubt it – Collins should come in for pierce, like for like

hedski · 23/05/2016 at 14:10
More than likely.
rossy rossy rossy.

Millie · 23/05/2016 at 14:16
Same with Lee. The coach doesn't like him. Bailey Williams, note, mid/def is the way to go. Sure, there are a couple of WBD's defenders to return but this kid can play. He is very athletic and is a beautiful kick. My backline is the only line apart from my rucks, that is complete, (Rance, Shaw, Laird, (Injured) McVeigh, Boyd (Suspended) & Docherty (AMT and Brown) so I will not be getting Williams, but, he can play.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:19
Agreed options are slim down back and can't trust freo and Tom Lee doesn't seem a good pick either.
Personally wouldn't get any of them but Williams if you have to I guess.

Nick · 23/05/2016 at 15:39
DBJ – > Enright (POD)
Brown -> WIlliams and pocket the cash.

breakevens · 23/05/2016 at 13:31
Wingard for me

Boltons Blues · 23/05/2016 at 13:45
Consistent
Will be cheaper
Needs a few more weeks
^
^^
in that order

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 14:05
I've had McVeigh since after his first price drop. He's been shit. Doesn't play in the mids. Spends some time Fwd. Not sure what his role is & I'm pretty sure he doesn't either. He's off to D7 ASAP

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 14:56
same. got on him too early. sorta had to when Adams went missing

Danners · 23/05/2016 at 14:18
Deledio, I like him as a POD this week and you won't find him cheaper anytime soon

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:17
105 BE could wait on it a week or two?, I'll get him through the byes I reckon, hopefully he doesn't start scoring 130+.

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 14:02
Normally I wouldn't endorse a Premo sideways trade. But this is an exception. West lining up at the first centre bounce would have been a huge concern for Martin owners.

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 14:07
DBJ is injured & a chance to miss this week. Also has a BE of 105. Think it's time to move him on

Billo · 24/05/2016 at 03:17
If DBJ is injured you could leave him on the bench for a week, not gunna lose any cash. Only if you have other priorities.

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 14:19
Shaw is in ominous form. With a BE of 30 odd it's now or who knows when. He's scoring like a top 5 mid. If there is a way you can get him I'd suggest it's a priority. Josh Trapson sounds a lot like Josh Gibson. He gives a good average. Made up of plenty of good scores & just as many crap ones

Danners · 23/05/2016 at 14:19
Don't be an idiot… HOLD

@wheels_1987 · 23/05/2016 at 14:46
no sideways trades = stupid
shaw = must have like 10 weeks ago

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 15:03
you didn't start with Goldy or shaw? your other lines must be good.
Shaw is a must. he was expensive to start, should have jumped on him a couple of weeks ago. but even now if you can get the coin, he is only $30k more than what people paid at the start of the year
Goldy not so with a very tough run of games coming up. Gawn and nic nat will do ok.

Marvin · 23/05/2016 at 17:37
Cheers fellas. So yes to shaw and no to goldy. I should have jumped on shaw weeks ago but went Parker then someone else. Yes Josh trapson is Gibson. I saw that 191 and knew it massively inflated his average but too the extra cash from not getting docherty. He better smarten up or I'm rage trading

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:15
Pittard is a potential burn man and I have doubts on Williams JS moving forward.
I'm not a big fan of Tom McDonald's scoring this year but for 100k less I'd take him over Pittard in a heartbeat.

cattery · 23/05/2016 at 14:19
If i went to either of those players i would be left completely out of pocket. Rance is may still drop in price, might pick him up in the coming rounds

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 14:11
Definitely spending more time in defence. Ballsy pick. He's likely to leave some stains. I don't think he's done much in the past to suggest he's SC relevant. I'd think long & hard about that call.

Nathan · 23/05/2016 at 14:14
Fella from my league bought him in this week
I was shocked as he's top 100
But seems to be working
Im not a fan though

Danners · 23/05/2016 at 14:19
I did see those stats, a massive risk. Hasn't been too bad a scorer in the past though

Cameron · 23/05/2016 at 14:20
Boyd would be best option with round 14 bye but like you said concerned he could miss some games as he is getting on

@wheels_1987 · 23/05/2016 at 14:45
T.McDonald
bottomed out price and is turning around his form

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:12
Massive call to say his form is turning around with his last 4 scores of 74, 99, 43 and 48.
Because Melbourne are more competitive this year he's not getting as much ball down back I reckon, not sure it has that much to do with form?
Could be a shark move though and a low BE of 48 makes it the right time to purchase if game to take the punt.

@wheels_1987 · 23/05/2016 at 15:14
Im ranked 7451 so i need to make a different trade
getting him in for DBJ cant make my team worse, but it really could be a huge POD
just taking a risk trying to get higher in the ranks

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:40
Can see the upside for sure. Considered Jeremy Howe? Some interesting scores the last few weeks of 100+

Titan · 23/05/2016 at 16:34
Yeah massive call on Mcdonald
I dont think my nads are that big
Im sitting just outside top 1500 with 19 trades before this week
Massive risk

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 16:52
Actually scratch Jeremy Howe he's 450k didn't know how expensive he was, could easily be chasing points there.

Tommo · 23/05/2016 at 14:36
Simpson or Laird for me

@wheels_1987 · 23/05/2016 at 14:44
Rance
such a beast

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:08
Agree probably a good time to get him although his BE is 132. Maybe wait a week if he gets an 80 could drop a fair bit.

The Beard · 24/05/2016 at 10:13
Who you think SS?
Rance or Simpson or Laird or Boyd?

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 11:17
any of them will be good. i already have laird and will be looking at rance to fill my last premo place.
the two carlton boys are having a great year, but like higgo said, will it last? they also have increased in value from the starting price, so to get them now will means you are at a disadvantage to those who got them cheaper.
Laird would be my choice, crows draw gets alot easier from now on. Rance as second choice.
Crows and carlton do have the round 13 bye, so if you were thinking of them, look at round 14 to get them

The Beard · 24/05/2016 at 11:20
I have Doh so I'm leaning towards Rance or Laird now.
I think Rance has the potential to go big more?

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 11:38
Laird is very consistent though, and could go into the 120-130 type areas of scoring. Rance is really good too so it's a tough call.
One only you can make!
Whilst I like Boyd the tooth length worries me and I'm going for league wins, could see the doggies resting him toward the end of the year.
Also not wanting to part with 550k+ for Simpson (Although do want him by the end of the year), I've already built my defense around a 600k Shaw at the start of the year, also Laird (515k) and bought Doch last week for 512K.
I'm thinking Rance is a good option for you but he's possibly only 500k next week with a 132 BE.

The Beard · 24/05/2016 at 11:46
I'm still tossing up the idea of holding DBJ for D6 (on the bench for a few weeks if Adams is back).
He was pumping out good scores before injury and if the injury isn't to bad might be worth it.
I have Shaw, Doh, Bartel and was tossing up on this one. I have pretty much convinced myself the same with Boyd + he is 550k and the boys should be back soon so it should knock his score down.
Simpson is the obvious target though if I keep that 25-50k I can go Priddis or Gray next week for Libba.

The Beard · 24/05/2016 at 11:48
Rance seems to pull more higher scores regularly then Laird. That said I have 0 crows.
Not sure what to do. Leaning towards Rance over Laird. Some expert convince me LOL.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 16:57
Like it.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:04
Have considered him but so risky it's not funny, way more so than Wingard.
Averages.
2011 2 74.5
2012 20 73.2
2013 17 74.6
2014 21 70.9
2015 22 95.9
2016 9 73.9
Welcome!

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 15:05
Hasn't scored a ton since round 1 wheels. Cheap yes but for a reason. Nice heist on wingard

@wheels_1987 · 23/05/2016 at 15:09
i am playing the stock market, trying to get my team to full "premo" asap.
i brought in Murphy and Wingard when they were bottomed out, also got priddis at his bottom price
all been reasonable selections, hoping to keep the cheap train rolling
ps. im ranked 7451 overall

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 15:35
Only problem is you might be stuck with blokes you don't want later & don't have enough trades to get rid of them. I've added Boyd Montagna priddis & McVeigh. Only regret is McVeigh so far. This week if he plays I'll be grabbing a fairly priced Laird

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:39
I like the tactic for sure hope it works out for you, I'm way more convinced by your Murphy/Wingard/Priddis picks McDonald having one good season just isn't enough.

David T · 23/05/2016 at 14:50
Kerridge will be a consideration for me this week as I look to cull rookies who have the first bye. However, I think both of those two can be held quite comfortably until their bye and maybe beyond it.

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 14:58
this year it is hard enough to make cash, let alone trading a good one too soon. squeeze every cent out.

Stevo · 23/05/2016 at 15:19
No, sit tight on these Sando. Trades are gold.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:33
Kennedy last 3, 89, 77, 81 scoring fine, still making money.
Kerridge last 3, 82, 67, 102 hold.

JamiesNinjas13 · 24/05/2016 at 13:41
You are most likely asking this question because they have one of the most highest break even out of the popular rookies and you want to bring in priddis/gray. If thats the case, trade out Kennedy and keep Kerridge because Kerridge is more capable of hitting the ton.

David T · 23/05/2016 at 15:06
Thanks for the reply. Just see Doc as more likely to put in some bad scores than Simpson and less trustworthy overall (more an endorsement of Simpson than a knock on Docherty). Might look to bring him in instead of Rance after their bye or as an upgrade on Rich eventually.
What trades would you make this week with my team?

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:38
Yep Docherty is a little more of an unknown, seems like his breakout year though and he does a lot of kicking out. He's a little pricey at the moment I wish I got him at 487k (when ironically I was telling others to get him)
He then smashed out a 144 and a 135 (luckily I got him last week for 512k)
This week I'd get rid of DBJ although you may be forced to deal with Wells and/or Barlow too. A lot will come down to team selections this week for many coaches I think.
I think your proposed trades are sound.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 16:57
I'll be taking Mathieson next week and possibly Trengove the week after so no room for an expensive rookie at this time of the year.
If it fits your structure and future downgrade plans then go for it.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:31
Cox sailed ages ago.

Stevo · 23/05/2016 at 15:51
Yes realize this however he is DPP swing so tempted to have him there. Menadue stopped making cash too.

Lachie · 23/05/2016 at 16:03
too late mate

Stevo · 23/05/2016 at 16:14
Yep looks like it could be.
What about DBJ & MacPherson to Stretch & Hopper?

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 16:49
Both risky picks.

Stevo · 23/05/2016 at 17:06
Ok, tough work! How about J. Smith & DBJ to Priddis & B.Williams. Gets my mid to 7 X premo plus Libba.

Papsmear · 23/05/2016 at 21:55
You missed the boat on smith too!

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 22:23
Think Stevo is saying to trade out Smith, but no that's not a good idea either!

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:30
If he doesn't I'll probably trade him.

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 18:11
I doubt it. They said they will be very cautious.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 15:43
Probably just do the downgrade and then next week go bang bang to 2 really good premos over 500K that you want.

Deadly · 23/05/2016 at 17:02
Save your trades

The GOAT · 23/05/2016 at 17:05
don't trade

CoachDamo · 23/05/2016 at 17:24
Boyd and Adams back in this week, possibly Suckling too – it wouldn't surprise me if Williams doesn't play this week.
Wait on Kerridge and Kennedy.
Perhaps hold for a week.

Papsmear · 23/05/2016 at 21:53
14 trades left? Wow? Save trades.

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 15:49
Soon as you trade Gawn he will score 170. That's how's the SC gods operate. Hold

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 16:55
Yep.

SD6_ · 23/05/2016 at 23:29
Focus on getting to full premium

Tommo · 24/05/2016 at 10:23
Get to full premo first, then start doing sideways trades if you must.

Tommo09 · 23/05/2016 at 15:50
Also have MacPherson

Lachie · 23/05/2016 at 16:02
Pretty sure that tag role was just an experiment for the young dog. He didn't really fulfil the role that game, so I'm not fussed.

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 16:16
I think at this time of the year at his price you need a 80+ AV. Just can't see it happening

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 16:47
They have a reasonably tough few rounds ahead of them too.
Crows at AO, Geelong at SS, Sydney at Spotless.

Stevo · 23/05/2016 at 17:30
Like the logic. Was going the Hopper path too and agree this would be a stepping stone move.
Initial plan was MacPherson & DBJ to B.Williams & Hopper.
Now considering J.Smith & DBJ to Priddis & B.Williams.

Steeeve · 23/05/2016 at 18:20
I just like his JS more than Bailey Williams. Both risky JS but Williams is only in because of injuries

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 15:58
Davis has a BE of 19. Hold him. DBJ to Rance sounds nice

Liam · 23/05/2016 at 20:31
So miss out on Priddis ?

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 22:07
Rance projected to lose 20k (132BE), Priddis set to gain 20k (BE 66)
Trading Davis now for Priddis isn't a terrible move.

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 16:18
It's a lot isn't it. But he doesn't look like dropping off. Playing the Hawks this week. I'd hold off for this one. Last year I picked him up for 400 when no one had him & he went on a tear. But I can't see that happening this year

Hector · 23/05/2016 at 16:34
Gee you a wiz aren't you mate.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 16:51
?

CoachDamo · 23/05/2016 at 17:20
I've been so close to getting him the past 2 weeks. I'm going to wait though and look at other options.

Jess_coach · 23/05/2016 at 17:33
Good points guys. Im almost full premo with only 18 trades left, so might hold off until the byes anyway. Best idea looks to be to bring in the bargains as they come along. Fingers crossed Zorko comes down at some stage

Stevo · 23/05/2016 at 17:34
While it's top end, he's not slowing down and would be a top 6 fwd at this point. I got him last week, and he still finds the ball in a losing team.

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 16:35
I had the choice of trading Barlow to Zorko & keeping Spudadue & having 6 Fwds. Or trading Spudadue to Montagna & taking the donut. I can't stand Spudadue & munched the donut. It was a joyous moment getting rid of him. I know how you feel

bUCKET__ · 23/05/2016 at 16:58
Traded him to Macpherson last round. Felt very good, highly recommended! Even an injured Macpherson is more useful than Menadue as a loophole.

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 17:21
Wait a week bucket & turn macperson into Mathieson

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 16:45
Not this week that's for sure.

Boltons Blues · 23/05/2016 at 16:51
not this week no way haha, but when hes on the bubble?

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 16:54
He'll be locked in for me on the bubble unless he scores a couple of 40's.

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 16:52
Trengrove hasn't played much footy in the last few years. When he's on the bubble you could downgrade a fat rookie to him. But downgrading a premium weakens your team

Matho · 23/05/2016 at 17:30
You must be a Demons supporter

Boltons Blues · 23/05/2016 at 17:58
didnt read my name did you?

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 20:09
Clearly not lol

Mayniac · 23/05/2016 at 20:36
Thinking of doing it with Hopper! Maybe a little riskier but need the dosh.

EinsteinsSperm · 23/05/2016 at 22:18
Laugh a minute from you tonite Mick. Why do you persist in trying to make Bolton look like a fool?

Tommo · 24/05/2016 at 10:29
While i will almost certainly picking up trengove, downgrading Libba to him is essentially weakening your team. People brought in Libba to either use him as a stepping stone to ultra premo or keep him as an M8. This trade will be weakening your team and costing you 2 trades.

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 11:40
Agreed won't be trading Libbe myself I rate him too highly. Sure he only got an 82 last week but it was at Spotless vs GWS who are on fire.

Campbell · 23/05/2016 at 17:17
Not sure about who to get for his him but definitely get rid of DBJ

Tommo09 · 23/05/2016 at 19:18
Maybe to Docherty if you can

Jordan · 23/05/2016 at 18:34
With 17 trades left I'd say, "Go easy on the Pepsi Fuller", but if you must trade, DBJ to Bailey Williams, and chuck Brown on the field. You should have about 358k left and just hold on the trades for when someone is injured or your rookies are ready for culling.

Tommo · 24/05/2016 at 10:32
Well, when i saw your 16.9k warchest, i instantly thought double downgrade, but you honestly don't have enough trades left. Maybe downgrade DBJ to B Williams (Risky JS) and next week, go Parish down to Mathieson.

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 17:58
If you want Priddis, this is the week. Low BE playing at HOME vs Suns

Papsmear · 23/05/2016 at 21:35
Menapoo to Hopper is a horrible trade! No value

EinsteinsSperm · 23/05/2016 at 21:53
320k in bank.
DBJ>Bwilliams= 200k=520k in bank.
Menadue=22?k Total =740k plus.
If you haven't got all of the top 10 get one more.

Papsmear · 23/05/2016 at 21:34
Shore up the DEF

I N Pieman · 23/05/2016 at 17:46
Nice pick ups

The Ranger · 23/05/2016 at 18:40
My hero for the week was Aaron Young.
Never ever thought I'd say that…

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 23:06
He's done bloody well the last few weeks, I had my doubts on him and got Jarrad Lyons for a similar price at around the same time.
Lyons scored pretty well but got dropped, he's back now though and hopefully stays.
Guess we'll see which 240k player works out best!

mfawcett77 · 23/05/2016 at 18:54
cheers

Lachie · 23/05/2016 at 20:10
Well no

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 17:55
McPherson will be out for a while and I'd be worried about Wells.
Consider Wells and McPherson >>> Hopper and Montagna

David T · 23/05/2016 at 18:01
Not sure he can afford that.

mfawcett77 · 23/05/2016 at 18:58
lol, short by 14,000

mfawcett77 · 23/05/2016 at 18:53
can afford to go Menadue and Wagner to Rance and Bailey Williams leaving me 15,800 for next trades. What's Williams B/E? Due for a decent price rise? And cheers guys:)

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 22:01
BE of 66 now is the time if ever.

Papsmear · 23/05/2016 at 21:32
Zmerrett

Jordan · 23/05/2016 at 18:37
The Young Blessing, Petracca.

Papsmear · 23/05/2016 at 21:32
Seriously??? That was a Question?

EinsteinsSperm · 23/05/2016 at 21:56
pfft. go back to the dreamteam forum

Kev · 23/05/2016 at 19:31
There was a big thing of not paying over 500k for a defender in the preseason. Personally I stick by that. Plenty of value picks elsewhere if you're looking at upgrading

Lachie · 23/05/2016 at 20:05
defenders this year are exceptional.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 22:36
Like Shaw? So I'm assuming you won't get him? Hope he doesn't get to 700k………..wait I hope he does because I'll get so any good scores out of him.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 22:42
I'm not a big fan of paying that much for him, at the moment I'd go for Priddis and hope the good defenders drop in price.
Can't see Shaw, Doch and Simmo dropping much though at this rate.
The other players you can get cheaper have been inconsistent, what you pay is what you get in the backline at the moment.

Average Joe · 23/05/2016 at 18:58
Parker's solid, but I would wait a bit longer on lids. If he gets a good score he won't go up, and you get another look at him

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 19:30
Lids might drop in price a bit.
Richmond have R13 bye. He will be in my team Round 14 at home to Lions

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 21:59
Same here.

Average Joe · 23/05/2016 at 18:38
dbj

Papsmear · 23/05/2016 at 21:30
hmmmm DJB BE 106 M. Brown BE 76 you decide?

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 21:58
DBJ he'll probably miss this week anyway with the knee?

EinsteinsSperm · 23/05/2016 at 22:00
Francis you should back off on the meth a bit mate. One rookie bloke is broken for at least 3 weeks the other one is still getting a game and can be switched fwd at your whim. Trade the broken one because they don't score if they don't play.

@an3vilmonk3y · 23/05/2016 at 22:30
They also don't lose value, can be handy if you need to patch up elsewhere.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 22:34
Then next week you get another injury, and then the following another. Snowball effect.
Have to make a decision based on whether they are a keeper or not and DBJ is done and dusted, injured and a high BE.

@an3vilmonk3y · 23/05/2016 at 22:42
Too right, then people end up where they were last week with doughnuts on the field. Just saying if the boat is sinking, plug the biggest hole first.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 22:59
Spot on.

Average Joe · 23/05/2016 at 18:52
Wait a 2 more weeks and he will probably be at his lowest price, but having said that he's still a good pick up now

Kev · 23/05/2016 at 19:29
Hold one more week if you can. His b.e is 136

Papsmear · 23/05/2016 at 21:28
BE to high wait he will drop lower.

Papsmear · 23/05/2016 at 21:58
No wait 2 or 3 weeks when his BE drop. Not even close to breaking his BE of 136 he going to drop even more

EinsteinsSperm · 23/05/2016 at 22:01
He's up there with Icon energy

Saundo · 24/05/2016 at 09:43
He could hit his breakevens this week! I'm putting the VC on him !

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 11:42
Agreed he could, but on the off chance he only gets an 80 or so he will lose 20k+ so people trading him in may as well wait.
He'll get a 150 because I said that.

Saundo · 24/05/2016 at 12:35
Ha Ha yeah the way this year's going !

Steeeve · 24/05/2016 at 14:28
I was half hoping he'd get rubbed out. Hoping his price bottoms out in a fortnight. My midfield cows are still fattening quite a lot! Longer the better, but I'm grabbing him. Purposely passed on Priddis in favour of Gray.

Davo · 23/05/2016 at 19:25
You could try Oscar McDonald $155,400 on the bubble defender as well, though I wouldn't be too confident there either.

Boltons Blues · 23/05/2016 at 19:34
there wont be many more rookies coming through, if you dont take the risk (ive done it) then you'll struggle to find a rookie option, unless of course Tucker or Lee come back which i cant see happening anytime soon

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 21:05
I just noticed BWilliams is DPP. He is a must. Bartel, rich, McVeigh, smith, Yeo etc all in backline with DPP. Williams will become the perfect swinger with D7/M9 loophole even if he doesn't play.
Great to cash in a rookie defender, and then later will swing forward when need to upgrade a midfield rookie to last premium defender, Williams will then swing to midfield and comple the DPP swing set. Nice

EinsteinsSperm · 23/05/2016 at 22:15
lol. Thanks nostradamus I was going to wait for the injuries, suspensions and upgrades to happen naturally but according to you there wont be any more. You should be malthouse's blues

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 22:34
There are going to be plenty, that is why you need to have the DPP swing sets in place.

Leeds17 · 24/05/2016 at 05:58
Wouldn't that mean bring Williams into midfield?

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 10:41
yes, for the run home, assuming at full premium, having Williams in the midfield as a donut lets you loophole in the midfield and defense. i will have BSmith at D7. Also have Rich, Bartel, McVeigh with DPP who could swing to the midfield if there are injury concerns or loophole possibilities.

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 11:43
Yep that's the other thing I like about Williams.

Lachie · 23/05/2016 at 20:10
Get rid of mills. Shouldve been thrown out a few weeks ago. Try and pick up Neale, Simpson, Docherty or perhaps Zorko this week

Papsmear · 23/05/2016 at 21:26
which McDonald?

Lachie · 23/05/2016 at 19:48
hopper is easily the best option. Williams second.

Papsmear · 23/05/2016 at 21:25
Hopper to expensive I'm not touching, for his price IMO he should score higher but could be wrong not taking the chance.

Lachie · 23/05/2016 at 21:26
There isn't going to be that money downgrade options in the future rounds. Spending an extra 70 odd k or so is worth it in this case IMO

EinsteinsSperm · 23/05/2016 at 22:05
The druggers still have about 100 rookies they're allowed to upgrade as penalty for cheating.
Young long will get a game or 5 very soon and at 102k is perfect dpp downgrade.
Relying on a rookie for M7,8 at round 10 is beginner stuff hopper isn't scoring enough for a post round 10 onfield mid so why waste the cash

Papsmear · 23/05/2016 at 21:23
Kerridge just scored 103 and a BE of 58 why would you even think about trading him now?

Banga · 23/05/2016 at 21:26
No intention of trading now, i was thinking maybe in the coming weeks.

Nathan · 23/05/2016 at 21:33
Not sure in de goey but kerridge you need to hlod on too as his scoring it solid
So id lose some other rookies over them

@winterjames5 · 23/05/2016 at 21:36
i will be holding onto de goey for a while looks like he has found a bit of form

Lachie · 23/05/2016 at 19:47
both

Clarky · 23/05/2016 at 19:51
Ideally yes, but I plan on getting one this week, and 1 during the byes

Lachie · 23/05/2016 at 21:25
Then it doesn't matter too much. I'd probably go docherty first perhaps, since he's a bit cheaper and has the 147 and 137 in his price calc.

Clarky · 23/05/2016 at 21:30
Yeah thats true, but at the same time, will Simpson score better when Carlton start losing badly?

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 21:55
Why would you think that? It's Simpson who has done worse in the losses.

EinsteinsSperm · 23/05/2016 at 21:57
I reckon simmo is a safer 100 clarkey

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 22:19
Yeah Simpson has the longer history of consistent scoring.
Docherty kicks in a lot and is in ripping form, both great choices at the moment it seems.

Papsmear · 23/05/2016 at 21:21
Which ever one you can afford I have both!

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 22:18
They are both practically the same price!

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 22:17
Don't trade De Goey on a 45 BE, he's just found form with a 105 and 89, set to go up 20k again this week.
I'd do number 2, but Tucker plays for Freo so no job security. Also S Collins plays for freo so no job security.
Unless you mean K Collins from the doggies in which no way, scored a measly 17 points last round and will be first to go once they get defensive stocks back up.

Tommo · 23/05/2016 at 21:05
Personally, i wouldnt get rid of Kennedy yet. Scoring well last few weeks and still has money to make. There are players like Mathieson and Trengove that will be on the bubble in coming weeks, that i reckon you could downgrade to. Hopper is too expensive for mine.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 22:11
I'd do the Brown+DBJ trade to williams and shaw.

Tiges · 23/05/2016 at 23:03
Agreed. I'm eyeing off Mathieson and Trengove! Plans up to and including the byes look great.
Midfield looks strong, a few of my premo's have bit dying off lately… needing to get Neale/Pendles in for a bit more consistency.

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 22:09
Williams and Priddis.

EinsteinsSperm · 23/05/2016 at 22:10
DBJ to Bailey Williams Parish to Priddis?

Pjay · 24/05/2016 at 00:01
I recommend you hold and try to conserve trades. 16 isn't enough at this stage.

azza · 24/05/2016 at 00:44
doesnt matter if the trades take you towards full premo

Pjay · 24/05/2016 at 10:31
In my opinion you should be making your trades work for you during the bye period, and become the mythical "full premo" in round 13, by possibly using 3 trades per round.

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 11:03
you can actually get to full premium too soon. to be at full premium your team value needs to be around $14mil. the way the rookies have gone this year, that is taking longer than usual. if you think you are at full premo and your team value is only around $13mil, your definition of a "Premium' maybe questionable.

Smote · 23/05/2016 at 23:14
He can really split the middle of anything that JJK!

Papsmear · 23/05/2016 at 21:19
not good

Blueth · 24/05/2016 at 15:14
ship has sailed my friend

Youngster · 24/05/2016 at 12:52
Gave him the boot last week. Not looking back!

Derek · 23/05/2016 at 22:28
no, but we might have to take the risk

Southern S · 23/05/2016 at 22:30
Is any defender rook though?
Have to free up money using the backline rookies somehow.
I'd take whichever defender rookie on the bubble is named this week.

Rocksta · 23/05/2016 at 23:46
Southern, I made the exact same two trades earlier tonight.
As you say, simply can't let Priddis go at $502K. Also cashed in Wagner at $291K as his BE was 75. Even better, it allowed me to upgrade Menaspew to Priddis.
Not sure on Williams' JS, but he's the best current option, and isn't a bad player from what I've seen.

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 11:10
Yep I actually liked the look of him and I reckon Beveridge would too.

fedd · 24/05/2016 at 00:08
isn't your def worse withwilliams and no simpson 2 weeks time Williams will be gone may as well got McPherson or fyfe in they will play the same amount of games as Williams

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 11:12
It is but fingers crossed I get Laird back this week.
So with a defense of Shaw, Docherty, Bartel, Laird and using two of AMT/Byrne/Adams/Williams I think I can score pretty well.
(AMT 96 last week, Byrne 112)

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 11:15
Who else would you suggest I trade in though? I figure if I have one reliable rookie on my backline bench I will be ok.
Because Williams is a mid type player he can easily come in for the doggies to replace other injuries, unlike someone like Tom Lee. He looks to play with some confidence and take the game on.

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 10:31
pendles has the round 13 bye. bring him him round 14.

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 11:16
Yep perfect and will cull Lyons, Keays or Smith by then.

TRIGGER HAPPY · 24/05/2016 at 11:51
Yep agree. Pendles is too pricey at the moment. Unless he keeps scoring 140 plus a week price should go down by the byes or at least remain where it is. A lower score this week would be ideal so I can grab him after his bye.

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 10:29
what does your team look like

Jim · 24/05/2016 at 09:40
Hey Roger, agree that DBJ has to go this week, but brown doesn't, could reach his be of 75. If you don't want to upgrade to a premium this week (Docherty's be is 50, projected to score 119 and go up 30.5k) maybe just downgrade to Williams this week, and spend the $ next week (Rance projected to score 99 and drop 14.6k)

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 11:45
That sounds ok considering the carnage, just have to take it nice and easy from here on and make good moves.

Spud Farmer · 24/05/2016 at 09:06
Breakevens:
Gresham 42
Menapoo 57
DBJ 106
Brown 76
Take your pick, I'd axe DBJ & Menaspud based on value, averages & B/E's.

Jim · 24/05/2016 at 09:28
Agreed, DBJ first, for more cash and he's projected to drop 15k this week, Brown last.
Your choice between Gresh and the poo, whichever makes you feel better.

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 10:43
i like 2. Brown has a high BE, this way you free up the cash he has made. Williams might not play, but a risk worth taking (plus he is DPP and might be handy to set up a swingset in the run home once you are at full premium)
priddis is a no-brainer.

davo · 24/05/2016 at 13:05
It sucks but if west is named again in ruck going to have to consider for sure

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 13:08
I think that Martin to Goldy should be considered if you have plenty of trades, if Trent West stays fit and in the squad I fear martin will be a liability and you will lose significant points in that ruck position.

Tommo · 24/05/2016 at 12:43
Rance because of his age and also because he seemed to have less of an impact when Suckling and JJ were in the team, they are close to a return so may limit his imput.

Tommo · 24/05/2016 at 12:43
When i say he, i mean Boyd*

MzD · 24/05/2016 at 12:51
I feel same way. And Boyd may be rested in between. Rance may have one more drop but 10k-20k should be a factor when deciding premos atm.

MzD · 24/05/2016 at 12:52
Shouldn't

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 13:10
Yeah 520k is fairly reasonable for Rance regardless of BE.

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 13:43
Rance will be my last premium.

I N Pieman · 24/05/2016 at 14:31
Boyd expensive now

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 13:42
last year the top teams were all around $14mil – $14.5mil

toddles · 24/05/2016 at 13:49
agree toddy a better example would be Parker some say he is others not I really don't think there is a criterium to say who is and who isn't premium what about Cripps is he going to go nuts and 120 each week we don't know Derek would be quite within his rights to include ZAC dawson but I COULD PRESENT AN ARGUEMENT THERE

benjamen · 24/05/2016 at 13:54
sorry sitting beside Toddy didn't change name

benjamen · 24/05/2016 at 14:19
If 2 coaches had the exact team except m8 one had Libba the other Parker and Derek zac I would say Derek would be premium as are the other two I just don't trust ROSS ..how to judge premiums is conjecture at its best Bet there will ten different formulas

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 15:01
you only need go back to the first game of the season.
Dawson, Barlow and Fyfe…all scored the EXACT same SC points (so it is fair to say that at the start of the season there wasn't much separating them in ability and scoring). if teams were identical, and you had to pick just one of those three, guess who would have won last week? huh!! Zac – 28. Barlow – 0, Fyfe – 0.

bobby · 24/05/2016 at 16:01
doesn't really answer the question what is a premium is yours different to Southern are you right or am I right.if zac finishes top 6 def at years end then he is a premium but nobody knows whether he will or not its guesswork

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 14:56
I have my doubts with Tippett but he continues to get it done, has the handy ruck/fwd swing and under 6% ownership.
Low BE of 42 this week.

I N Pieman · 24/05/2016 at 14:30
So am I

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 14:54
Both Williams are good options I reckon.

The Ranger · 24/05/2016 at 14:36
No love for Enright? He's dropped nearly 50K in price.

TRIGGER HAPPY · 24/05/2016 at 16:52
Wasn't on my radar thanks for the heads up will have a look at boris.

Whykickamoocow · 24/05/2016 at 15:14
I, like many have considered Hopper. I would be wary of Hopper, better to go Matheison because of his job security and cheap price. Hopper is too expensive and I would be worried about his job security especially when Griffin returns in a couple of weeks. Also Tomlinson and Steele did well at the weekend in their league and will be played soon. I feel many are jumping on the Hopper bandwagon because of his 100+ in his first game against and ordinary GCS. Remember Papley's first two games?

I N Pieman · 24/05/2016 at 14:30
Nope. Considering him as a floating M9 F7 spare. If possible

Tommo · 24/05/2016 at 14:42
Eventually yes, but not until the byes.

Ketut · 24/05/2016 at 14:47
I'll turn him into Dalhaus/Zorko in 2 weeks time most likely

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 15:17
usually average is a good indicator of how good they are

Cameron · 24/05/2016 at 15:22
oh right, so even if a player misses games but has a solid average he would still be classified as a top 8 mid?

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 15:29
i would say so. having said that, i won't be getting Fyfe into my team for the run home.
ideally you have a good M9/D7/F7 with swing sets in place to cover the premiums that miss a week.
i was talking up JPK about how he had played 106 of the last 108 games, brought him in and then he misses. can't predict these things.

JamiesNinjas13 · 24/05/2016 at 15:31
I never really look at the total points, I look at the avg. There are players like Rockliff where you cannot judge them by their total points or average in the early season because he always goes beast mode in the last 10 games of the year.

Hubba · 24/05/2016 at 17:11
Points per minute is also important . Eg: on Wells' last game he pulled a 60odd in a half of footy which pulled his average under 100… Look through their history and see if theres a reason behind a low score. Historically Rockys average always is a victim of his inevitable half-games where he gets injured .

The Ranger · 24/05/2016 at 17:26
And also, at this stage of the season you should be looking at the fixture and thinking about who will score the most points from here on not who will have the highest average or total points over the whole season.

Hubba · 24/05/2016 at 17:02
No no no .. He will come good … your premos will ebb and flow .. + or – 100k is not that unusual. I'd back him in against lobb, mcevoy and grundy over the next 3 weeks …

BanthaFodder71 · 24/05/2016 at 20:15
Goldy….. lockitineddie!
