Not a lot you can do with that price.
I feel like your doing a cashcow + cash trade and it's not enough. If it's a kerridge or a benken I'd wait. Or do another trade for more $$$ to a premo forward

sc king · 24/05/2016 at 17:33
im reaaly looking to get rid of brown asap and i have just downgraced mills to hopper to make the extra cash, but it still only gives me an awkward price of 438k when trying to get rid of brown

Hubba · 24/05/2016 at 18:32
Best look for a hopper alternative then . Will pick you up another 60k to hey a proper premo

Northernsoul74 · 24/05/2016 at 16:56
I'd hold off and build cash until you can afford someone you really want in a week or 2.

Kev · 24/05/2016 at 17:01
What options do you have, sc king? It's too late in the season for a stepping stone type player

Steeeve · 24/05/2016 at 17:17
Wingard your best chance at a premo

Danners · 24/05/2016 at 19:08
Find more money

Leeds17 · 24/05/2016 at 19:12
Not sure what price Gunston is but he'd be a good in this week with the run Hawks have coming up

Cam · 24/05/2016 at 21:55
Mate if you get in matheson instead of hopper youve got an extra 80k to work with. Much more options then

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:10
Do not buy anyone with that
pointless
Make more $ and get Lids

Jono · 25/05/2016 at 22:19
Wells should be back? or Eddie Betts???

dean · 24/05/2016 at 16:19
currently have 20 trades and 100K

cashcows · 24/05/2016 at 16:28
Sitting pretty with that team, i like it.
Only one I see is probably DBJ to Williams for the 200k.
Then look to upgrade in the midfield.

cashcows · 24/05/2016 at 16:31
Depends on your team structure but I'd go 1 first, but if wells plays then 3.
Wait next week for mathieson.

Clarky · 24/05/2016 at 16:41
I should probably put my team up, so you get a better gauge:
Shaw, Gibbo, Laird, Tippa, DBJ, Hartley (Brand, Mckenzie)
Pendles, Ward, Sidebum, Jelwood, Ablett, Libba, BKennedy, Smith, (Davis, Keays, Gresham)
Goldy, Martin (Wyatt)
Dusty, Buddy, Merrett, Greene, Wells, De Goey, (Kerridge, Petracca)
I am holding out for a Mid/FWD DPP to pick up in the midfield as i only have one DPP player, so limits options to swing around.

Dice · 24/05/2016 at 21:01
Kerridge and Mckenzie out for premium backman and fwd rookie

jake · 24/05/2016 at 18:04
Probably, he has to get through tomorrows training session, but if he does he's a certainty.

Lucid · 24/05/2016 at 20:05
Triple m radio Brayshaw said he assumes he will play if he trains well. He's on hold for me. Imo should be a premo forward if not for injuries ruining him.

Tommo · 24/05/2016 at 20:13
Im surprised some people still don't know the main reason why he didn't play. He didn't play due to Achilles soreness, they are being extra cautious as this was the injury that kept him out of most of last season. Nothing has been said about his thigh, it isnt the issue.

The Ranger · 24/05/2016 at 22:11
And it's the Achilles on the other leg, not the one that was injured last year.

hedski · 24/05/2016 at 22:26
Ah wells punted him to the prid last week

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 22:46
I reckon that's a pretty good move even if he does come back.

Blueth · 24/05/2016 at 23:10
yeah he's gonna give us the shits again in a month when they play another shit team and drop him

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:19
Already got rid of him
throw around the word "Achilles" then your OUT

Liam · 24/05/2016 at 16:39
Why do you think he has to go. If he doesn't play this week he might play next.

Whatthe · 24/05/2016 at 16:58
Exactly. Too good a player in a great team. I will wait another week or two.

One Touch Wonder · 24/05/2016 at 17:03
If he doesn't play this week there is more than a corked thigh wrong with him. He has to go if he doesn't play. He has maxed out in his cash making. Is not a premium keeper. Kangas have tough games, unless he is fully fit he won't score well.

Lachie · 24/05/2016 at 18:06
he has not maxed his cash making. Wells is probably one of the best fwd players you can have for finals.. The only reason you should trade him is if he's injured beyond a corky. Cash has literally nothing to do with this.

One Touch Wonder · 24/05/2016 at 19:44
I trades Hall to Zorko 3 weeks ago and Wells to Montagna last week. I'd say i'm pretty happy. that is what they were there for.

Lachie · 24/05/2016 at 21:45
No.. Wells is for sure a premo.

Liam · 24/05/2016 at 18:12
Didn't look at it that way. Was planning on making him M9/F7 loop.

bobby · 24/05/2016 at 18:48
hes a fwd keeper surely whos better

cashcows · 24/05/2016 at 17:02
Thats what we said last week. At some point you just gotta call it. With him we just don't know if 1 week is 1 week. Yes we've already waited the 2 or 3 he's been out and 1 wouldn't hurt but his track record doesn't help.

Pinidu · 24/05/2016 at 16:46
Downgrade DBJ and get the cash mate, I reckon there are better options than Wingard out there if u can find the cash

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:20
I got WINGARD last week
I think he will bounce back
I went DBJ to T.McDONALD. risk v reward move hoping Tmac can get back to last year form

CJudd3Votes · 24/05/2016 at 17:03
Parish. Given a BE of 52 id say it's not the right week to get rid of Mills if you got other options

Kev · 24/05/2016 at 17:04
Breakevens say Parish

cashcows · 24/05/2016 at 17:05
Williams got some good comments out of Bevo on his performance v GWS so he's in, but if he's not I wouldn't even consider tucker or lee, esp if DBJ is out, no price change.
Whoever has the higher BE i suppose or wait. Think Gray still has a high ish BE but i've got him already pre injury.

Liam · 24/05/2016 at 17:02
DBJ to Rance.

@an3vilmonk3y · 24/05/2016 at 17:50
Rance next week? His BE is 135…

cashcows · 24/05/2016 at 17:12
For what its worth, I brought in Docherty this week. Low BE but yes his price should come back down at some point but I'd expect him to still float around 500k towards the end of the season. So losing 50k to fluctuant prices for a consistent 90+ with a ceiling to go 130~, I'd bank that.
Plus someone said here he has kick in duties. Kicks = more points for us.

Dan · 24/05/2016 at 22:06

hedski · 24/05/2016 at 22:27
Come and have a gander

CJudd3Votes · 24/05/2016 at 17:04
2. If you run low on trades you'd be more annoyed to still have Brown in your side than Martin

min0008 · 24/05/2016 at 18:46
I have 20 trades before making any and need 1 def, 1 mid and 2 fwd upgrades needed presuming Libba and Wells are keepers.

Danners · 24/05/2016 at 19:10
Tough one, Option 1 since this is the last chance for Goldstein

Randomclcihe · 24/05/2016 at 21:06
I like one. I bought goldy last week 🙂 just wish I'd started gawn nic nat instead of bloody kruzer!

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:21
2

Pinidu · 24/05/2016 at 19:14
Is this instance…what would u classify as 'low' or 'high' trade numbers for those contemplating a Gawn –> Goldy trade?

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 19:35
20 trades

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 21:28
The problem with this is, if Goldy gets an 80 next week and Gawn gets 150+ then what?
They will be equal in score for the entire season that's what.
People were talking about trading Goldy after he got his 49 and said he looked cooked, he's injured, he's gonna get rested etc etc etc
This is ludicrous.
He's had a couple of bad scores in the last two rounds but remember he was the number one ruckmen a week or two ago.
Three scores of over 160. HOLD PEOPLE (Unless you have Stefan Martin)

Tommo09 · 24/05/2016 at 21:29
I agree Southern
Gawn goes MASSIVE

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 21:55
The bloke is only human, people forget this, could've been sore or could've just been down on form.
I reckon he'll be pumped for a big game vs Port this week.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:23
agreed , in a perfect world that would be a good trade
however in a perfect world you would have started with goldy already
and that said, you wouldnt want to trade into goldy only to see him rested through the bye rounds (possible)

CJudd3Votes · 24/05/2016 at 17:07
Unless you're set everywhere else I'd leave BenKen for the moment, assuming your team is like everyone elses there are bigger fish to fry

Randomclcihe · 24/05/2016 at 21:10
In isolation it is a perfect trade. However I prefer lids priddis montanga and some north ruck who seems to go okay over bud.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:23
Ken to Bud = good
DBJ to Boyd = bad

Scott · 24/05/2016 at 17:14
Yeah he's let us all down, but have to hold him now and just hope he gets better.

Steeeve · 24/05/2016 at 17:18
Hold and hope you find some money later to upgrade the useless prick

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:24
have to hold mate unfortuantely
DEF line should be your last priority. concentrate on FWD and MID

Danners · 24/05/2016 at 19:11
Seems to be playing the Monfries role, wait another week though to see what happens

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 20:39
Chad plays well when RGray plays well

Dean · 24/05/2016 at 21:16
I got a lot of time for the wingard especially at these prices.

Lachie · 24/05/2016 at 21:44
not really SC relevant IMO. He could be good for finals maybe as a POD.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:24
i got him last week and enjoyed his 100+ score

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:25
i like the Matheison over Hopper
everyone is getting hopper but Matheison will net you an extra 80K plus earnings
Hopper is one bad game from a high BE

@t_woof · 25/05/2016 at 16:33
Couldn't think of not having the Mid/Fwd link in my team. Have two of them. Been a big asset the past couple of rounds, especially last round. Therefore i'd hold Kennedy, or trade in a Mid/Fwd Premium.

The Ranger · 25/05/2016 at 17:24
Couldn't agree more t_woof. The more links the better when it gets to the pointy end.
One of the reasons why Williams is so appealing is his def/mid link.

@an3vilmonk3y · 24/05/2016 at 17:53
bank the cash, get a premo next week.

bobby · 24/05/2016 at 19:02
if you trade dbj to Williams you will have only one on the bench in def Williams wont last don't forget J J BOYD ETC.dumb move

Leeds17 · 24/05/2016 at 19:15
Worth waiting till Tursday to see what Defender Freo bring in for Pearce, Collins was solid in the NAB and Tucker is on the bubble.

Kev · 24/05/2016 at 17:27
Lee, Tucker, and O(ld) McDonald are backline rookies on the bubble this week. JS for all three is shaky

Mickey P · 24/05/2016 at 21:03
I am thinking Josh Kennedy too … can score big and has been pretty good all year. Will carve it up this week I reckon

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:25
i like to avoid KPF in my team. i like Fwd/Mids but up to you

JB_Tank · 25/05/2016 at 16:22
Billy Smedts. 190k def. ruggles and bews won't hold their places. Jake Kolo and Smedts will be in the best back 6 in their places and he's ready to break out now. Tearing it up in the twos and playing for his future.

cashcows · 24/05/2016 at 17:16
Mathieson and Trengrove are upcoming mid rookies who are cheaper.
Unless you in a trade surplus I wouldnt go hopper. Depends what you using him for. Stepping stone or keeper?

Steeeve · 24/05/2016 at 17:20
I'd considered grabbing him as a keeper m10. Use as an emergency if I have an injury later in the year. Or as m8 if I have two short term injuries.
Worth it?

Lachie · 24/05/2016 at 18:07
Why would you grab Trengrove when he isn't on the bubble? Returning from a long term injury. That's just stupid. Hopper > Math also

Steeeve · 24/05/2016 at 18:13
He's saying to wait and get those lads when they are on the bubble

Lachie · 24/05/2016 at 21:43
then you may aswell downgrade to hopper this week. my point.

Steeeve · 25/05/2016 at 10:15
Can't get 'em all though mate. Most would be near full premo in the mids now.

Leeds17 · 24/05/2016 at 19:21
70-80K better? IMO there's no point trading a Menadue, Hewett Davis type for Hopper, if you've got a midpricer that's frustrating you maybe a good move

@an3vilmonk3y · 24/05/2016 at 20:27
This. The main reason to bring in Hopper is the cash, and you tie up a fair amount of that while he's increasing in value, it could mean the difference between snagging a fallen premo and missing one.

Dean · 24/05/2016 at 21:25
Pass on hopper this late in the comp due to his high price.

Randomclcihe · 24/05/2016 at 21:29
I'm doing it…but I've got plenty of csh to start with…

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:26
Cookie Cutter move in my opinion

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 17:23
I wouldnt

Danners · 24/05/2016 at 19:12
It's crazy

jockreynolds · 24/05/2016 at 19:14
Not crazy Micky. I'm feeling it mate

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 19:35
It's not completely crazy, but it's not wise.
Hold.

Brook · 24/05/2016 at 20:33
it's a.good move I think … if you'd done it last week it was the classic bruen manoeuvre ,,, but still worth it this week in my book, you would have jumped on a straight swap at the start of the year.

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 21:30
Actually rethinking it, yes it's freakin crazy after two low scores.
If he can't score well vs Port this week then consider it.

Dean · 24/05/2016 at 22:00
I think it is something to seriously consider for a number of reasons. Firstly because of Goldy's massive decline in price and those with Gawn he seems to be carrying some injury.
Gawn also has a massive break even of 236, so Gawn is projected to drop a further $61,000 this week alone meaning you wont be able to get Goldy for a straight swap with Gawn after this week as Goldy's breakeven is only at 66 so he should increase in price.
It is a shame those who make this trade cannot see what Gawn scores against Port Adelaide because if he scores another sub 75 then this would almost certainly confirm that he is playing injured and if thats confirmed then pi$$ing him off would be crucial.
Most importantly if your have less then 21 trades left then I would NOT do this trade however if you have more then 21 trades then for Gods sake play it safe and Trade Gawn to Goldy.

John · 25/05/2016 at 19:31
Well said, although I disagree with 21 trades. The less you have, the more you can't afford to lose out on this trade! Great move!

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:26
Good move in a perfect world

bUCKET__ · 24/05/2016 at 21:26
Gunna be a popular move I reckon Micky, thinking of doing the same. Doch isn't underpriced anymore, but is looking like a top 6 defender.
Just depends on whether you would rather pick up a bloke who is underpriced instead and upgrade a different line (e.g. Priddis, Lids). If DBJ is missing some weeks and won't decrease in price I might hold him a bit longer and upgrade elsewhere.

Dean · 24/05/2016 at 22:03
EXCELLENT trades. I am doing similar trades, however im getting Shaw rather then Docherty.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:27
you must worry about your MID and FWD line first
golden rule of sc
dont stuff around with DEF until last

Steeeve · 24/05/2016 at 18:15
Davis is making money, MacPherson is not. And Gold Coast could bring a lot of talent back before MacPherson returns. Might not be easy to break back into the side.

Dean · 24/05/2016 at 22:04
Pi$$ OFF McPherson mate.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:28
i think this bloke is trying to troll people
ridiculous comment

Stevo · 24/05/2016 at 19:12
Need to get that midfield upgraded. Otherwise pretty solid.

Danners · 24/05/2016 at 19:13
Good trades, although running a risk with two Carlton defenders

Blueth · 24/05/2016 at 22:21
your defense is making me emotional

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 22:23
Classic

Randomclcihe · 24/05/2016 at 21:45
In not surprised that is the case that you have rage trade itis. Any player that is not 100 percent with the coach /group must be avoided. Any coach that is not 100 percent with his players must be avoided…glares at ross*….
But. You must hold. Your research ya would have identities a ball magnet who was out scoring his sublime team mates on a per minute basis. That was the gamble you took that it would hold for a season proper. Should an injury or two hit the swans mids…who were fantastic against the hawks…you'll be in the money before you know it. Just chances are it won't happen. But go sideways and you lock in your losses and lose a trade.

johnno2908 · 24/05/2016 at 18:21
Goody proven ultra premo. I'm really contemplating doing the same thing. Although you know when you do it, the beard will come out and go massive. He is playing a pretty much ruckless Port Adelaide this week. The trade to Goldy also gives you another reliable Captain option.

Danners · 24/05/2016 at 19:14
Seems stupid, Gawn is not a ruckman that much out of form. HOLD

jockreynolds · 24/05/2016 at 19:14
I reckon I'm doin it lads. Makes a hell of a lot of sense to me.

Tommo09 · 24/05/2016 at 19:51
Really?
Gawn scores huge

FisherDan · 24/05/2016 at 19:26
Why would you burn a trade in the ruck? Gawn as your number 2 isn't going so badly with three scores 160+. I had to burn a trade in the ruck last year because I (like many others) had the Skin-flute Minson who gave us NOTHING then got himself dropped. Gawn is no Minson!
Trust your intestinal fortitude that made you select him in the first place.

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 19:34
Didn't someone do a side trade of Pendlebury to Ablett this year?

Brook · 24/05/2016 at 20:36
I must admit I did and it still hurts … live and learn!

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 20:57
Think Jock did it too? I could be wrong though.

Randomclcihe · 24/05/2016 at 21:53
I favour of gawn is potential to go real large and get massive avg. Goldy more likely to do it.
Here is the killer. Nic nat to Goldy. If you belive in gawn you've gotta chop nic nat. Just an idea.

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 22:03
Nic Nat to Goldy that's a spanner in the works.

JamiesNinjas13 · 25/05/2016 at 15:27
Surely you have more pressing concerns than a weak sideways trade especially when you haven't used many trades. A big argument against is you are wasting 1 trade. This is supercoach, not AFL fantasy.

Randomcliche · 25/05/2016 at 21:15

@t_woof · 25/05/2016 at 16:44
Surely Gaff will only miss one round if any, use your bench cover and hold him.
Wasting 2 trades there, when no LTI's.

Randomcliche · 25/05/2016 at 21:12
Garbos in Canberra are on strike. Maybe they can come pick up your trade in their spare time. You missed the Boyd boat. Simpson to outscore from here.

Stevo · 24/05/2016 at 19:04
Option 1 looks solid. Wait another week on Deledio, though he could go large against the Dons this weekend.

Tiges · 24/05/2016 at 19:07
I'd be trading out DBJ to Williams and Menadue to a FWD or DEF premo (by swinging Tippa forward)… $550k is pretty steep for a defence premo and still reckon Lids hasn't bottomed out… all solid options though.

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 19:39
Agreed.

Steeeve · 25/05/2016 at 10:17
Footywire predicts LIds will keep dropping after that 125 comes out of his price, but I'm not so sure. Last year everyone kept waiting for him to drop and it just wasn't happening.
Thinking I'll take your advice and go DBJ to Williams/Menadue to Lids.
Unless of course Williams is dropped.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:30
option 1

breakevens · 25/05/2016 at 13:56
brown to boyd

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 18:54
Could hold for 2-3 of weeks the way he is scoring, doesn't get any midfield time it seems.
And no can't see him being a top 10 defensive player this year, which is kinda sad because he is a great player.
Might grab him as a very cheap D6/D7 though later.

Leeds17 · 24/05/2016 at 19:16
I brought him in 2 weeks ago and have regretted in, looks really off the pace, there were signs late Friday that he was coming good but genuine concerns he's over the hill.

RoughNuts · 24/05/2016 at 19:34
Yeah i was meant to watch him closely on Friday night when I was at the G but ended up having to many cans so don't actually remember to much of the match. My worry with McVeigh is he got 28 touches a 3-4 wks ago now and took 14 marks but only scored 91. He is getting close to sub $400k though which is to good a price I reckon to ignore. Best scenario for me is DBJ has a week or 2 off and I wait for McVeigh to bottom out completely and swoop on him at around $400k.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:31
after the byes will be a must look but not for me right now

RoughNuts · 24/05/2016 at 19:38
May is back and will be looking to make up to his team mates. I thought I read somewhere Rory Thompson could be back also. Risky pick but could pay massive dividends. I'm saying a not for me call, safer picks this wk.

Blueth · 24/05/2016 at 20:10
dont see it as risky at all. He can be dodgy but not against the suns at home.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:31
if you have the stones for it do it

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 18:54
Made an example of him that's for sure.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:31

Danners · 24/05/2016 at 19:16
Priddis isn't a must have this week. Maybe trade Brown to Montagna/Z.Merrett or another premo forward

Stevo · 24/05/2016 at 20:11
Thanks Danners, though that move would put Petraca at F7 while weaker Rookie J.Smith at M8. And moving on Brown loses that DPP swing with AMT.

Blueth · 24/05/2016 at 20:02
yuo should definitely start trading in some premo defenders, maybe Simpson for DBJ?

Tommo09 · 24/05/2016 at 20:08
Don't have enough if I get Priddis

medadsson · 24/05/2016 at 20:52
On local news tonight … if you can believe him, Lyon said that Barlow is a definite starter for the game against St Kilda.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:32
Ross is a flog #putyourchopsticksoutforbarlow

Alec · 25/05/2016 at 17:42
Traded Barlow to zorko last week as I couldn't handle it any longer!

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 19:31
Nah you missed him I got him for 240k but he also got dumped for 2 rounds. (R7+R8)
Even though he's a good player for some reason his JS is shaky.
I'd probably take the punt on Wingard.

Blueth · 24/05/2016 at 19:51
was so close to selecting Lyons over Crouch but they're both in and out so often i dont know what to think any more. No idea why the crows don't play Lyons more often, they're begging for decent midfielders and he keeps playing well the getting dropped

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 21:05
I think it's because they keep wanting to get game time into Brad Crouch after being sidelined for so long, and Lyons isn't the best defensively, but he is a quality ball user and usually hits the scoreboard too.
He actually got 6 tackles last week so his pressure must've been decent. He scores really well in supercoach due to his DE and scored a 96 off 20 touches last week with only 70% TOG.
The other thing is he has been involved in almost all of their better games, win against richmond, win vs sydney, loss by 3 to hawks, win vs freo.
They better bloody give him another run this week or they are fools.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:37
Well with typing / grammar like that i highly doubt you have the brains to be ranked in the top 20,000 let alone 82nd. That said, I also highly doubt someone ranked 82nd would be asking a pretty straightforward / stupid question.
That said…
If you can justify it, then do it. Don't ask us what we think. You tell us what YOU think and tell us WHY
Learn from this, and maybe one day you actually will be ranked 82nd
Good Luck

Tom · 24/05/2016 at 19:58
im in the same boat and thinking about getting rid of martin, might give him chance to make back his losses though and get gawn in soon enough

bUCKET__ · 24/05/2016 at 21:33
Looked to me like West was bought in to basically nullify Gawn (ala Tom Campbell). It worked, but pushed Stef forward for a lot of the game. And the ball wasn't there all that much.
Watching him take back the main ruck role this week.

Blueth · 24/05/2016 at 20:00
people say he has a totally new 'role'. I'm not sure what this means when he is still first ruck, perhaps someone can fill us in…

Anil · 24/05/2016 at 23:28
He was rotating between rucking and playing fwd. And playing fwd for Brisbane is supercoach suicide

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:39
you answered your own question at the end there…..
dont trade Martin

Blueth · 24/05/2016 at 19:51
20 trades left btw.

Tiges · 24/05/2016 at 22:48
Team looks solid, plenty of POD's.
Would you consider trading out Wells to Dusty and then Tippa can go around the bye rounds instead?

Blueth · 24/05/2016 at 23:03
Would you still suggest doing that if Wells is named this week?

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 19:58
williams

Northernsoul74 · 24/05/2016 at 20:36
Wait and see if Williams keeps his place. If he does with Boyd and potentially Adams, Suckling it's a good sign. His form warrants keeping his place.

Steeeve · 24/05/2016 at 23:06
Then he'll still make way for JJ in a few weeks I fear

Northernsoul74 · 25/05/2016 at 10:56
JJ is at least 5 weeks away and they will be ultra cautious with him.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:39
If you want to distance yourself from the heard, dont go Hopper

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 16:42
Yep I already failed with MacPherson can't take the Hopper risk.

TRIGGER HAPPY · 25/05/2016 at 13:58
Whoever is named.

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 20:52
I threw the C on Shaw last week. But throwing the VC on him this week not sure if I will Go Pendles or Danger? Think Danger might come out and be a bloody ripper this week with the last 2 poor showings and the lose to the Pies?

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 21:15
I'm thinking Hannebery (or maybe Parker) in what will be a big clash vs North on friday night,
Or possibly Gawn vs Port.
Then there's Shaw vs Carlton at Etihad, even after a 200 not convinced he's my best choice this week.
Then probably captain Danger (or even Docherty – risky)
There's even Ablett or Nic Nat on the Sunday who I could captain too.
Too many choices right now………………

Tommo09 · 24/05/2016 at 21:20
Shaw is up against Adelaide I think

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 21:33
Yep it's danger vs carlton at Etihad, I reckon he'll go big.
Not too Shaw about Shaw at Adelaide Oval.

Leeds17 · 24/05/2016 at 21:13
Montagna VC Danger C

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:40
Im going Goldy friday night and probably Pendles against the Dogs.. Either that or Danger against Carlton

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 20:42
Norfs next 5 games don,t worry you?
They have had a pretty easy draw so far

Chevy · 24/05/2016 at 21:33
Not overly… but there is always a but … lol

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 21:19
Dawson, Docherty, Simpson, Laird, Rance, Bartel, Boyd
The reason I have Dawson as my no.1 is because he is about to hit all australian form, and Shaw is going to spud it up and get about 20-30 for the rest of the year 🙂
That's my top 7 can't think of who to cull.

Tommo09 · 24/05/2016 at 21:25
Not Gibson

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 21:34
Nah not for me, he'd be 7-8.
Realistically there'd be 10+ guys who can make the top 6.

Thomas · 24/05/2016 at 21:38
Who do you think they are

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 23:28
Shaw, Docherty, Simpson, Laird, Rance, Bartel, Boyd, Gibson, Enright. There's 9 I can think of.
Maybe Pittard, Savage, Williams, Rampe, Rich or even Jeremy Howe could all possibly have a crack at the top ten too, there's a long way to go in the season.

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 23:30
Would like to see McVeigh in there too but not sure at this rate.

Rooster · 24/05/2016 at 22:02
Why do people continue with the stupid Dawson "jokes"?
Soft as sh** and not one bit funny!

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 22:50
Have you ever watched him play?

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 23:21
Emotions are running high tonight on the internet.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:41
you should get Dawson in your team
he is amazing and ultra premo DEF player

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:42
Dawson of the Zac variety is so amazing. Everyone keeps saying that what he did against Richmond was a dog act, i call it bravery #putyourchopsticksoutfordawsey

Lachie · 24/05/2016 at 21:42
Dawson, Dawson, Dawson, Dawson, Dawson and I'd probably chuck big Dawson in there too.

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 22:02
Spot on

Derek · 24/05/2016 at 20:41
Priddis is a good price this week, playing the Suns at HOME

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 21:14
Menadue to hopper isnt much of a downgrade and well you will eventually trade out hopper?

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 21:17
If your going to downgrade down grade big with a fallen premo or injured who will miss many matches. Menadue to hopper is not worth it at all!

Joe · 24/05/2016 at 21:25
Might just stick with Brown to Williams and go Menadue to Priddis giving me 90k and 17 trades left instead!

Rocksta · 25/05/2016 at 02:01
Definitely the way to go

siri · 24/05/2016 at 20:46

So what is this comment?
self centered
egotistical
You think you are such a know it all and you are a narcissist!
Nice job Pap. Pot calling the kettle black.

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 22:21
LOL you are a Skippy turd like someone said a week or 2 ago. cant even come up with your own material and steal other you are a loser Southern. They were right calling you a Skippy turd!

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 22:27
You have some sort of deficiency that is quite obvious.
I'm not going to call you names or anything like that to feed your strange lust for conflict, but I do feel sorry for you.

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 23:02
Don't feel sorry for me! I want no sympathy for you! I know your mum is lacking a deficiency and it a lack of protein by not swallowing your egotistical, narcissistic, think you know it all loser arse!

Blueth · 24/05/2016 at 23:08
Papsmear or southern S?

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 23:13
?

Blueth · 24/05/2016 at 23:14
just wondering who to trade, probably paps

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 23:20
Yeah I'd trade Paps, Southern is a keeper.
😉

MY TWO CENTS · 25/05/2016 at 13:46
Double downgrade!

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 21:11
IMO keep him should do well in the next 8 rds??? But I'm no expert. He has Bri, Mel, Ess, NM, GC, PA, SYD, RICH, CAR and Mel? Its ur call? Think he might do well in this run? You have had him this long.

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 21:12
Or dump him for Williams to free up cash?

Don't Blush Baby' · 24/05/2016 at 21:12
You must be going OK Hawker if thats your biggest issue, for what its worth I would hold him atm, but probably not in the best 8 backs

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 21:37
Not a chance to be in the best 8 backs at this rate. I'd still hold though he may score ok for the remainder of the season and then maybe cull him later if you really have to.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:42
nah dont trade him.

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 21:40
So you're combining his averages to make him more appealing?
He averaged 80 and then 97. Now he's averaging 75 this year.
But anyway I'll stop over analyzing (if it's possible for me to do that) and say yes he's a good buy at the moment.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:42
i got him last week and he treated me too a tasty 100+ score
risky but big ball get big win

Nathan · 25/05/2016 at 07:52
With the b/e in mind you need to treade bdj and brown
Thatll give you 635 + the 342 you have leaves 977
So id look at maybe an oremo back and Wingard in the fwd line

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 21:48
You can trust Lyons to play one player and that is Lachie Neale, because if he drops him he'll leave the club and then they may as well merge with a WAFL team and leave the AFL!
Don't like your trades. I bet three weeks ago you were walking around gloating to your mates how you got the steal of the year with Gawn and how he's top dog in the ruck division, now you're throwing him to the bloody curb!
If you bought Zaha for 415k like I did, hold him too, there's no real loss there and he will score good again, had 31 touches last week but a horrible DE. Think priddis….same boat, now scoring better.
You've got Sam Mitchell stinking it up like no other, but no mention of culling him? He's lost 100k and Zaha is still up 50k!
Stick by your guns.
Lets keep it simple and logical mate, DBJ to Williams and Menadue to one of the premo mids, so you can chuck Smith on to the bench, zaha will be your M8 and a fine one at that.
Welcome 🙂

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 21:51
Southern S you are suck a self centered egotistical person why dont you shut your mouth for once. You think you are such a know it all and you are a narcissist! Give it a rest…..Welcome : )

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 21:56
You obviously don't understand my humour, nor can you read properly.
Welcome 🙂

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 22:08
You obviously dont understand when to shut your mouth and people are sick of you! Someone called you a a Skippy turd last week or the week before and starting to think they are right! You need to get one of Wayno's fly traps or leaf screens because every time you open your mouth sh*t spews from your mouth or some sort of sh*t coming out of it that attracts fly's! People asking simple questions and you try to demean them!

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 22:17
'Sigh'
Notice how my two top lines are so ridiculous? It's called humour.
You can trust Lyons to play one player and that is Lachie Neale, because if he drops him he'll leave the club and then they may as well merge with a WAFL team and leave the AFL!
Don't like your trades. I bet three weeks ago you were walking around gloating to your mates how you got the steal of the year with Gawn and how he's top dog in the ruck division, now you're throwing him to the bloody curb!
There it is again for you, try to read carefully.
Now back up the page a bit someone asks a simple question of who is the better player out of Boyd and Docherty, both are scoring really well.
You reply with 'Can't believe you're asking that question'
Go take a look at yourself in the mirror you can't judge me lol, you were a prick to that person and acted like a know it all yourself.
Learn how to acknowledge humour from a serious post while you're at it.
Welcome!

Adams Test and DBJ TBC

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 21:41
If DBJ plays this week I'm trading but I'm holding Adams BE 70 and its obtainable with a ave of 87. DBJ BE is 106 he's done

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 21:41
Adams has to bloody play this week it's ridiculous, tiny fracture in the finger man up you lazy prick look at the doggies backline at the moment!
Joking but hope he plays.

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 21:45
Coming from someone who doesn't even play footy and doesn't even know or comprehend what its like to have a fractured figure. You are far from a reliable source! You a doctor?

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 21:46
Are you joking?

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 21:50
It says joking at the end of the bloody post, get off the drugs!

Hartley has a BE of 50 think you might want to keep him for a little longer but I'm no expert by any means! Might wanna ask Mr. Know It All Southern S sure he has mind boggling advice whether is sarcasm or truth? He thinks he's so funny!

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 22:42
Option 2 for me.

SunnyCoast Blazers · 24/05/2016 at 22:47
Def option 2

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 22:43
That's tough, probably Gray and Priddis due to such good value.

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 22:50
Oh c'mon you dumb Ahole, you know it all? Priddis (502,800) a BE of 56 and Gray (514,200) with a BE of 136! Why you illadvising people! You are a chump Southern S!

The Mountain · 24/05/2016 at 22:57
ID say hanners and take your pick with the other two, hanners hasn't had a game under 100 and either of the other two are more than capable of being top 10. If you choose gray get him in about 2 weeks when he bottoms out.
P.S. You might want to ease up to Papsmear

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 23:04
Say's who? Just voicing my comments like the rest?

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 23:18
I can answer the question.
The Mountain is the who.
See the name at the top of his comment?

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 23:22
Southern S I think he can spek for himself. Doesn't need some spineless jelly fish like you to speak for him!

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 23:33
I'm not speaking for him you're just an easy target for me to rile up.

You are easy just like you mum! Welcome! ; )

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 23:36
Is the mountain your big sister and she protecting you while you hide behind her skirt?

Southern S · 24/05/2016 at 23:37
lol how old are you?
Anyway I'll stop feeding you now I've had my fun gotta go to sleep.

The Mountain · 24/05/2016 at 23:42
Look all in saying lads is it just pointless. Your each trying to get a rouse out of each other, mainly because you don't agree with others opinions, which is with in your right to, but there is no point continuously bickering about it. It just clogs the feeds and doesn't any of the questions for those who are seeking advise to improve there teams.

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 23:42
You aren't feeding me? But I'm feeding your mum, good thing you dont have any brother's or sister's! She told me she got fired from the sperm bank for drinking on the job! But I still like her a good woman! Gulp! Welcome! ; )

Stop acting like a flog mate. People come on these forums seeing what other peoples OPINIONS are. This isn't a factual forum and there is no right or wrong answer. You are acting like a child. Quit clogging up the forums with your nonsense.

Danners · 25/05/2016 at 13:29
Hannebery and Priddis

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 13:48
There's talk of players coming back for GWS like Griffen that may take his spot, but if GWS wants to keep their players in good condition I reckon they'll use Hopper all season as he is competitive and AFL ready.
He might get dropped here and there but should have better JS than Williams that is for sure. Williams looks good though and Beveridge does seem to reward young guys who play well.
Thing is can you afford to get a 190k rookie like Hopper at this time of the year? Also as another person here stated remember Papley's first two scores, that one made me think.
Tippet I'm not sure about, but he's getting it done and has that Ruck/Fwd swing (which in my case would be really handy as I also have a swingman on my ruck bench)
Just not sure he'll keep it up though. Buddy Seems ultra reliable this season and he will get a big score soon I imagine.

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 22:40

Papsmear · 24/05/2016 at 23:15
Personally I wouldn't? But its your call?

Dave · 24/05/2016 at 23:26
he's the third highest scoring ruck in the comp, and up to two weeks ago he was the highest scoring ruck. Trades are more valuable than that.

Kev · 25/05/2016 at 07:56
Way too early to jump off Smith.
Go with option one and Joey

Stevo · 25/05/2016 at 08:01
Thanks Kev. Joey option puts Petraca on the Fwd bench. Not ideal as I don't have a swing in the mids. Can work on that next week.

Wattsieesq · 25/05/2016 at 11:56
I think Smith has more money to make. so option. Joey for me.

Grant · 25/05/2016 at 11:41
Shaw. On fire and using the ball really well.

Wattsieesq · 25/05/2016 at 11:59
I like Shaw into Penddles

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 13:40
Like this, plenty of good options this round though.

Richard · 25/05/2016 at 13:01
Dusty into Priddis

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 13:41
Like this too lol
Dusty playing really well and Priddis at home v GCS.

Richard · 25/05/2016 at 12:06
Williams job security an issue with Boyd and Suckling coming back.Wait for team selection.Wells injury a concern see if he's selected this week.If DBJ Not selected no damage done there you could hold an extra week.Hewitt still has money to make so i would hold.Seeing you have 72k in the bank and you want Priddis this week and depending if you think Barlow's going to last the year.Trade Waite,move barlow to forward line and get priddis for approx 30k spend.Waite has done his job for you with some big scores and now seems to be wilting.Priddis proven performer.

Francis · 25/05/2016 at 09:44
His BE is 3, at least another 2-3 weeks

I N Pieman · 25/05/2016 at 09:56
Hi Bye is awkward. Despite his low BE I'm considering an early move to Matho next week

Grant · 25/05/2016 at 11:41
Totally dependent on how many trades you have left. It's time to start upgrading and not continually making cash.

Tommo · 25/05/2016 at 12:46
Or even Trengove in 2 weeks?

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:44

Tippa for me. Closely followed by Adams

Saundo · 25/05/2016 at 12:30
I'm holding, hopefully he'll come good! Other priorities atm

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:49
Trent West poses an interesting conundrum in my cortex… this is his last chance to play AFL (in my opinion) so maybe he will go all in and try to make something of himself. I currently dont have a playing Ruc/fwd (that plays) so if he can keep his spot then he will make an amazing bench / cover player

I N Pieman · 25/05/2016 at 14:02
I'd hold him till you've finished your upgrades then review him. I'll be doing the same with Libba

The Ranger · 25/05/2016 at 14:33
Sideways trading is a last resort in my opinion.
The only time I'll sideways trade before the byes is in the first two rounds, in order to get the right rookies, or due to a long term injury or suspension.
All the other keepers just have to stay until the byes and then you can readjust if your trade/cash situation allows.

Average Joe · 25/05/2016 at 17:43
Keep him until Gawn drops in price, then do the trade after round 14 (Gawns Bye Round) and before round 15 (Stefs bye). Thoughts umpire?

Boltons blues · 25/05/2016 at 11:49
They are good pods, but I'd stay away from pitard and go Gibson or Boyd
And for an extra 50k you can get Pendles or save 80k and get Priddas

Grant · 25/05/2016 at 12:03
Cheers Botls, Pendles is in 25% and Priddis 18% (likely to rise) of teams.
Gibson in 18%.
I know there's a reason for this, but really looking to go against the trend.
I like the Boyd option.

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 13:38
I'm a little worried Boyd will get rested later in the season (round 22 against the Bombers for example) as Doggies should be playing finals.

Wattsieesq · 25/05/2016 at 12:04
I'd look at fallen premo's such as priddis and Gray before Neale. Your midfield looks skinny. I'd look to upgrade there rather than complete your back line.

cashcows · 25/05/2016 at 12:58
Dont mind the pittard trade but you need more ultra premos in midfield, way too skinny. Gray and Priddis are options or just straight up pendles and that like.

Grant · 25/05/2016 at 16:01
Thanks CC, taking the advice to pump in the prems in the midfield. Ward and Gibbs in for Parish and Oliver.

Richard · 25/05/2016 at 12:37
Cotchin to inconsistent.Gray dropping in price could hold off one more week and then pounce.He's ports number 1 man.JPK proven performer but other mids for sydney like parker,hannas,mitchell share big points.I would go Gray over JPK,BUT DEPENDS ON YOUR BYE SPREAD COMING UP.

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 13:32

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:50

Tiger train on its way to finals

I N Pieman · 25/05/2016 at 13:57
Have you had Cotchin in your team before Wheels? Hell of a ride. And not a pleasant one

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 14:05
hahaha PIEMAN as a long time tiger supporter and supercoach player i can say to your face that NO.. absolutely NOT
No Cotchin in my team and he will never set foot in it..
But you gotta jump on the Tiger Choo Choo Train when were on the road to a fourth straight first week of finals elimination
Choo Choo!

cashcows · 25/05/2016 at 12:56
He has every chance to become a cripps/omeara of past years but they are rare.
He might become premo but he definitely won't be ultra premo. Depends what you looking for I guess but dont hold your breath.

Danners · 25/05/2016 at 13:26
No, its his first season playing AFL, might be an alright F7/M9 though

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 13:32
Agreed. The Mid/Fwd swing is probably the only reason to hold onto him. He's only been getting 20 odd touches a game.

clarea · 25/05/2016 at 14:00
To keep Petracca as a M8 or F6 could well be a good move as it enables you to have stronger bench coverage.by that I mean you could keep a proven player such as HEWETT instead of a Matheison if you were to go with Priddus . Really would boil down to Petracca /Hewett VS Priddus./Matheison depends on your other coverage but if you did it next week for GRAY your bench would end up with something like Matheison McPherson Gresham .One injury and your in trouble

Derek · 25/05/2016 at 13:33
They always get tired. Seen it every year.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:51
agreed. these dam SC rookies with light and enthusiasm in their eyes

clarea · 25/05/2016 at 16:21
too true Derek but petracca is not really a first yr player like hopper he can handle it better

Average Joe · 25/05/2016 at 17:45
Did your crystal ball tell you that? Wait and see, but most rookies hit some sort of rookie wall during the year and drop off

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 13:51
because he is a rookie
he makes $
he has a shit game
he gets his head cut off
MEAT FOR THE SLAUGHTER

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 13:56
So true, there are rare exceptions but not convinced Petracca is one after a game scoring 105 off 20 odd touches. (against an undermanned Brisbane)

TRIGGER HAPPY · 25/05/2016 at 13:57
Maybe in years to come but not this year.
Look at the quality available in the mids and up fwd petrecca is well below that for scoring potential and consistency.

bob · 25/05/2016 at 16:27
If he can kick goals instead of behinds he could easily be Melbourne highest SC ave fwd this year.

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 16:52
That's true, seen him miss a few. Hogan should be their top scoring forward this year though.

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 13:30
Sounds good to me, I'm trading Hartley and keeping brown but that's only to keep my Def/Fwd swing.

Rooster · 25/05/2016 at 13:38
Laird would be your man. Reasonably high ceiling but his great appeal is he is nice and consistent.
Hasn't had less than 20 possessions and has only been under 90SC points once this year – 79 v the Hawks. High of 127.
This sort of consistency for a back premium under 500k makes him a lock for mine. Compared to Gibson for example who is a roller coaster.

Danners · 25/05/2016 at 14:06
Thanks guys, I initially was going to trade Laird in as that premo defender, but I was wondering if you guys had other options. I will probably get a premo mid and Mathieson in next week.

I N Pieman · 25/05/2016 at 13:53
Gday Danners. I'd see DJB as a downgrade option to B Williams. If you could squeeze another premo into your mids it would be handy soon. MACP & Dunkley not doing much is annoying. I'd give some though to trading MacP Subbing Kerridge into the mids & grabing a FWD premo. It would make a mid upgrade easier next week by having Kerridges currency to leverage off for that move.

Tommo · 25/05/2016 at 13:59
Wliiams isn't really considered a keeper tbh. He is brought in to make money and to offer DPP if needed.

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 16:50
Exactly. As long as you have your second defensive bench a best 22 player you're good.

clarea · 25/05/2016 at 14:55
can you give me a reason why not def first Is it because they don't score as highly Shaw the DOC Simmo have all been really poor recently.Sorry but I disagree entirely. I suggest tying the defence component first its the easy one. and your other lines will come down then pounce .lock in SHAW RANCE LAIRD DOC SIMPSON GIBBO done..fwds aand mids offer a plethora of good choices def doesn't I tend to disagree about Hopper as well he is a gun will play forever and over the next 3 weeks will make 120000 plus could be 400 after byes with good Js what more do you want You are welcome to your opinion Wheels but I strongly disagree…..defence first Hopper this week just do it….

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 14:59
well thats your call
i can tell you now that over the season, you will end up with more points from a full premo FWD line than a DEF line
Currently there is 3 DEF in the TOP 50 !!!!!! overall scoreers this season
So the rookie who creates a good DEF line will be so low on the rankings that by the time they finally get decent in other lines they cant catch up and are left with all the bottomed out MIDS
as for Hopper, hes had 1 x 100+ game, if he doesnt make 100 this week then that 100 will be out of his price calculations
200k is alot for a rookie.. caution to the wind eg: MILLS
theres your answer

clarea · 25/05/2016 at 15:34
Its purely opinion Wheels youre probably a good guy I CAN DO THE SAME Cripps last year enough said there..but my main reason for selecting Hopper would be no other good options Wheels Matheison will most likely get injured Williams low JSwhen j j and suckling come back MAYBE TRENGOVE THOUGH GOOD LUCK WHEELS agree to disagree

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 15:43
haha no body is making anything personal!! this was your first line of your comment.
"can you give me a reason why not def first"
i just answered your question… no hint of me attacking YOU.
This is a community. no personal attacks.
ps. is there any reason why Mathieson will get injured, but not Hopper? i wasnt aware that he was super injury prone… maybe put the link into these comments so i can see why Matheison will "most likely" get injured

clarea · 25/05/2016 at 16:43
seen him on the week end Wheels absolutely fearless got his. head pulled off 3 times .The dees really attacked him smaller fragile bodied player but when he gets games into him look out parish is the same Hopper Oliver Petracca are ready made look at petraccas thighs I do ablett like .Just researching your top 3 def in 50 comment will link when it is irrefuteable to get def done first at this stage of the season still good reasoning is whats its all about not like those jerks a while back ruining our banter. Defence has been an on goi ng hassle for many years more betterer to fix it early IMHO Cheers Wheels

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 16:49
Fair points but this isn't other years. Gotta look at what's happening right now on other lines too.

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 16:39
Can see what you're saying here although to lock in a few premos in defense is a given, but yep I'll be bolstering my defense in later rounds, especially with some good backline rookies scoring well this year.
Started with Shaw and Laird, bought in Bartel and Doch at reasonable prices but those boats have sailed, as of right now locking in cheap defensive players is risky.
There's some good deals on other lines like Gray, Priddis, Merrett, Buddy, Wingard and other smokies like Tippet, Lewis, Murphy and James Kelly.
With the predicted top 8 or so defenders being 500k+ you can wait it out and make sure you are getting the right ones around the byes or after.

The Ranger · 25/05/2016 at 17:00
I'm with Wheels on making the mids and forwards a focus where I can but ultimately I'm governed by value for money.
If a player that you want comes along at a reduced price then you've gotta get him while you can no matter what position.
For example, I could get Gray or Buddy this week but if I do trade I'll probably get Enright or Montagna instead.

Blueth · 25/05/2016 at 18:15
exactly. if you're selling high and buying low then it's no hugely important where these players and grouped. I just happened to have ended up with 6 premo's in my DEF line (calling Hurn a premo for shock value) because thats the way it fell…I'm ranked top 1%.
Shaw, Doch, Simpson, Laird, Bartel, Hurn (cuddles, brown sound)

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 18:23
Agreed really depends when you bought them, right now I wouldn't buy any unless I already had stacked forwards and mids.

Blueth · 25/05/2016 at 18:33
except Hurn, he's still cheap 😉

I N Pieman · 25/05/2016 at 14:46
Why couldn't he do that for me last year instead of busting a nut

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 15:07
great POD
big ball get big win

Blueprime · 25/05/2016 at 16:26
Bought him R3. Happy for now.

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 16:32
Flying under the radar that's for sure.

Average Joe · 25/05/2016 at 17:48
Only problem is that he is a mid only, would much rather more proven players like pridda, gray etc

CaPtKaOs · 25/05/2016 at 18:25
he is interesting, thats for sure. i actually wonder if another club will offer him a one year contract for next year. he looks like he has another year in him.

breakevens · 25/05/2016 at 14:13
Probably missed the boat on him and you should've started with him. Too expensive to get him in atm

I N Pieman · 25/05/2016 at 14:41
I'd say it's now or never Tom. If your playing someone who has him you'd be crapping your dacks. If you can get him in then do it. After this week he could be close to 700

JamiesNinjas13 · 25/05/2016 at 14:56
Yeah he is, but you can't get a 640k defender in now. What goes up must come down, be patient he will score the odd 70 and will drop 100k atleast. I got sucked into getting Robbie Gray (600k+) last year after R9 and he dropped 100k in the next couple months.

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 16:31
Never rated a guy that has averaged 90-100 for 10 years?
Averaged 112.6 and doesn't look like slowing down, not sure if I'd pay 640k for him right now.

Boltons Blues · 25/05/2016 at 19:04
will be 700k soon, to late

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 15:08
option 2

Adam · 25/05/2016 at 16:10
With the trades left that is before the Martin trade which means if I bring in dusty I will have 14 trades left whereas I will have 15 left if I bring in Priddis.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 15:11
yea i like what your saying because you have JUSTIFIED why you are getting Hopper
to many Cookie Cutters out there looking at the "most traded" player and not doing their research or thinking about why they are bringing in a 200k rookie
im personally holding out one more week for Rhys Mathieson as i had him in my pre-season team, and looks like he could be a good, cheap option. Getting him will give me an extra 80k + whatever he earns. Job Sec is dodgy, but we will see wether my gamble to not get Hopper will pay off (i gambled and didnt get Ablett, i feel like that was a good option)

TRIGGER HAPPY · 25/05/2016 at 15:26
Ta.
gotta have a plan and back ya gut.
ie abs good 4 u, wingard not so much 4 me though hoping he is gonna repay the faith in back end.
Matho was also in my preseason team.
Will trade Davis for him next week.

@wheels_1987 · 25/05/2016 at 15:39
he hasnt missed a game yet so maybe he is a good option. but dont get him for the sake of it

MzD · 25/05/2016 at 15:39
I'm a little bit concern that the best Defenders thusfar are 30+ year olds . Don't go for too many.

bob · 25/05/2016 at 16:38
He's a bloody good option for points but he comes with a couple of warning labels
1. Over past couple of years he's been rested for at least one game late in the year
2. Any headknock will likely see taken out of the game and given a weeks rest

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 16:46
Agreed but on the second point I think any player that cops a head knock sits out a week these days.

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 16:59
Byrne has great job security no doubt.
Who would've thought he'd end up more valuable than DBJ (assuming DBJ is out now and/or scores poorly next game). Glad I got them both that week.

Boltons Blues · 25/05/2016 at 19:05
yeap, apart from bringing in bottomed out dusty martin, the 2 Byrne boys were my best trades of the season

Kalamazoo · 25/05/2016 at 15:50
Simpson

TRIGGER HAPPY · 25/05/2016 at 15:56
For me Boyd is excelling due to injuries in the dogs back line as he is getting more if the ball. Early when dogs had defenders he was scoring 60's so personally I'm gonna wait and see what happens when dogs get some of their defenders back and if his role/scoring change.
Rance folk at SC land In charge of scoring love the guy but like all defenders can have an off night.
Simmo ultra consistent and seems refreshed under bolts. No problem having both as they can both score well as proven last few weeks.
Simmo/rance share the same bye so see how they fit in with the other outs in your team for Rd 13.
So that's it. That's my opinion for what it's worth.

MzD · 25/05/2016 at 16:05
It's Simpson. Made up my mind.

Leeds17 · 25/05/2016 at 18:26
Rance is reliable to score between 75-90 on a average week and can go huge, agree with Trigger happy that Boyd will ease off once Sucking and JJ are back

@wheels_1987 · 26/05/2016 at 08:28
i really feel Rance is the man… such a beast and is building a huge tank.. runs off his player AND beats them one on one.. huge ceilling

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 16:45
None of them, they all have a good BE.

Blake · 25/05/2016 at 16:47
So don't get Hopper in?

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 16:56
I don't reckon you should, but it's a tough one and could pay off in the end.
Not many (if any) of the 200k rookies have paid off this year though.

Blake · 25/05/2016 at 17:04
My team (without trades this week)
Shaw, Docherty, AMT, Leo, KK, DBJ (Adams, K.Collins)
Danger, Pendles, Parker, Zaharakis, Motlop, Libba, Wells, Smith (Oliver, Davis, Joyce)
Gawn, Z.Smith (Chol)
Martin, Hall, Kerridge, BenKen, Wingard, Petracca (Cox, Simpkin)

Randomclcihe · 25/05/2016 at 20:54
Priddis. Mids are weak. Hold Zaha I reckon. Look to cull lambs.

@wheels_1987 · 26/05/2016 at 08:29
agree with this comment!!!
Dont trade out a low BE performing rookie for a 200K rookie
just not worth the risk

@wheels_1987 · 26/05/2016 at 08:29
he doesnt need to be picked… dont be a sheep, make your own choices

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 16:55
Not sure about Dougal. Has player once in round 2 and round 6?
Not sure about trading Wright either he's scoring ok you couldn't expect him to keep pumping out 100's.
I'd deal with DBJ if he's not named and another rookie that has fattened up.

James · 25/05/2016 at 17:04
What about Zaharkis? And what would be a better option than Howard? I could get rid of menadue to.

John · 25/05/2016 at 17:04
^

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 18:19
Maybe DBJ down to Williams
There's not agood downgrade target for the forwards right now, so either premo or Wingard?
If you can DPP menadue to the mids then options may open up for Mathieson (bubble next week) or a fallen premo like Pridds.

John · 25/05/2016 at 18:35
yeah alright might downgrade DBJ, but what about zaharakis mate?

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 17:03
Up until last weekend (after his 49) he was still the top scoring ruck.
It's a poor trade I reckon.

Randomclcihe · 25/05/2016 at 20:47
Lids.

The Ranger · 25/05/2016 at 17:29
Definitely!

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 18:17
I wish I had Dusty and Lids in my forwardline, I have neither at the moment.

Randomcliche · 25/05/2016 at 20:46

@wheels_1987 · 26/05/2016 at 08:30

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 18:17
Not sure he had a high BE and was injured, doesn't matter too much though live and learn.

Average Joe · 25/05/2016 at 17:49
If he gets back to his early season form, and stays healthy

Leeds17 · 25/05/2016 at 18:17
I still do, but understand why others dont, whilst his Disposal rate is still high i'm not too worried

Steeeve · 25/05/2016 at 18:05
Byrne-Jones to Bailey Williams, Mills to Priddis?

Sarah · 25/05/2016 at 18:11
That's exactly what I'm leaning towards haha just feel it's the cookie cutter move…

Southern S · 25/05/2016 at 18:15
Your team is fairly cookie cut but you do have Montag and Ward as PODs and can grab another Midfield POD later when you move Montag forward?
A couple of defensive POD's later and you should be right.

Sarah · 25/05/2016 at 18:45
Yeah it is but it has worked those players are the ones I can rely on. Will have to make some moves soon though, first bye is what's holding me back

Randomclcihe · 25/05/2016 at 20:43
Priddis and Gray over the next two weeks. The carlton pair in defence as time money and bye rounds allow. Good luck.

@wheels_1987 · 26/05/2016 at 08:32
Montagna into FWD line
Kerridge or wells for Priddis
Mills out
Rookie of your choice in

marcus · 25/05/2016 at 18:18
no point trading zaharakis waste of a trade

John · 25/05/2016 at 18:31
How? His breakeven is 150+ he's not gonna rise in price

Bukkake Tsunami · 25/05/2016 at 18:37
If you trade out every player that is going to lose money you will be out of trades real quick. Take the good with the bad.

Hawks · 25/05/2016 at 18:49
True, I don't even look at the be's of my premo's.

John · 25/05/2016 at 19:13
But in this case im able to pick up a more reliable premo. For one that isn't really consistent.

Bukkake Tsunami · 25/05/2016 at 19:25
Well if that's what you wanna do and dont ask? Doesn't make sense? You know what will happen you trade him and he goes big and the person you trade in doesn't! Murphy's Law!

John · 25/05/2016 at 20:00
all I'm saying is that Zaharakis hasn't been so consistent over the past few weeks and his BE has sky rocketed. That's why I'm asking whether I should trade in someone like neale while I he's at the price he's at now.

Randomclcihe · 25/05/2016 at 20:37
Double trade into a premo. They are premo for a reason. I like lids martin Montagna to complete the forward line. You still got wells? If so you only need lids imo but Matin would also be useful swing later.

Bukkake Tsunami · 25/05/2016 at 18:55
