Treloar will come good mate, don't let it worry you

James · 05/05/2017 at 12:20
*worst

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 21:05
If you'd traded in Fiorini or Matera, that would've been your worst decision of the year, Treloar's a gun, just been a bit sloppy, he will come good.

Brian · 05/05/2017 at 21:10
This years mid pricers include roughead, Jom, swallow and beams. All traded out by most before round 7 . It is also very hit and miss

Wal · 05/05/2017 at 12:14
EVW

J.K · 05/05/2017 at 12:20
Toss of a coin IMO. Interesting to see Melican on the field even with McVeigh & Allir back. Or do looks deceive?
Personally I am struggling to decide out of Melican, EVW, Parsons and Black for my one rookie this week. Factored into that is whether to get rid of Hampton, Butler, Petrevski-Seton or Houston.

Danners · 05/05/2017 at 17:08
EVW, Melican is from the rookie list and could go back down at any time

SF4 · 05/05/2017 at 23:16
EVW, considering Newman has been dropped I would expect that Melican will find his way back into the 2s aswell

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 12:45
Maybe the non playing Rookie out?

Kev · 05/05/2017 at 12:53
Really wanted to do the same, Simo. Competitive leagues are forcing me to be creative. Will have to let Pendles slip through my fingers this week.
Prefer Parsons over Melican. Reckon you can squeeze a few more dollars out of Houston than Butler, though consider Houston's upcoming bye

b_sh3p · 05/05/2017 at 13:22
stewart and hampton have more money to be made so I'd go with the first rookie trade option
I'm also accepting a donut for Nank.

Jimmy · 05/05/2017 at 12:11
I was actually thinking the same thing…

Wal · 05/05/2017 at 12:15
GAJ still carries too much risk for mine

Kev · 05/05/2017 at 12:54
I would think the whole community has a soft spot for Gaz. His durability is still too much of a question mark for mine

The Ranger · 05/05/2017 at 13:04
I hear ya Kev, but the weekends game was the first time this year that's he's looked completely free of any injury concern.
He was just doing what the old Gary used to do, getting to every contest, winning his own ball and using it better than anyone else. He's bloody tempting at 585K.

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 13:20
Agree Ranger. That was the first time in years I saw Gary confident in his body. And boy oh boy was it fun to watch as an owner. I watched the game with my young fella. At the end of the game the first thing he said was I'm getting Gary this week. The bye coming up does make it tough for people to trade into him. If it won't impact you to badly in round 9 I say get on now. Such a high scoring monolith is worth the risk

TRIGGER HAPPY · 05/05/2017 at 13:49
Pie.
Not sure why everyone is worried about abs bye?
Myers named this week.
That will put him on the bubble Rd 9.
Bring him in for a cow
Bench abs field Myers.
Simples
BMW I don't have and won't be bringing in abs .
Just saying.

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 13:57
True Trig. Let's hope Meyers can make it to his bubble

The Ranger · 05/05/2017 at 14:03
Exactly my plan Trig.

mized · 05/05/2017 at 13:20
Im all for it mate, im trying to separate pendles from gaz but they are like for like in most ways. More likely to get ablett since got a trealoar already.

Kev · 05/05/2017 at 12:58
Cheers, BB
I feel you should grab Pendles while you can. I had grand plans to grab him this week but it means munching a donut this week (bring back Eddy!). Long term Pendles price can explode while Simmo/Shaw will be under 500k again

Nick · 05/05/2017 at 13:02
Not sure how you can swap beams to Simpson or shaw. Both are defenders. Hold beams see what happens and get Simpson or shaw this week. Ottens needs to be traded out this week or next.

Benjamin B · 05/05/2017 at 13:42
By moving Adams into the Mids for the week I can grab shaw/Simpson. Agreed ottens times is up

FranklinSHow · 05/05/2017 at 12:44
The Bont is a lock to finish top 5 in the mids.

Wal · 05/05/2017 at 13:55
It sure looks that way, Dusty not so much on recent form

b_sh3p · 05/05/2017 at 13:24
i'd go bont. I'm thinking of that trade myself but that would mean holding JOM.
But if I sell JOM I've got like $470k in the bank which means a mid pricer or taking a punt on a rookie like Myers who may not hold his spot. Hardest trade week this year for sure

Wal · 05/05/2017 at 13:55
Don't go early on Myers would be my advice there

Stewy_the_Swan · 05/05/2017 at 13:34
Cripps? Looks like he's starting to come good and will leave you 100k in the bank

Wal · 05/05/2017 at 13:55
Na, not for me, don't reckon he'll be up there come seasons end

SF4 · 05/05/2017 at 23:17
Bont

FranklinSHow · 05/05/2017 at 12:44
I have more trust in JJK to produce what he has been doing in the first 6 rounds over the entire year. I can't say the same for Yeo.

The Ranger · 05/05/2017 at 12:45
It's flip a coin territory George.
JJK's scores will go up and down 'cos he's a KPP and Yeo's will because he's Elliot Yeo.

Kev · 05/05/2017 at 13:07
Interesting in both cases their two lowest scores were at the MCG. Eagles don't play there again this year.
I prefer Yeo, but only just. Eagles have already played 3 of the bottom 4. JJK may start to struggle when teams actually have a full back that can go with him. At the start of the season he was 409k and you don't be that price by being a consistent high scorer.

Kyle · 06/05/2017 at 05:56
JJK was one of the most expensive forwards at the start of the year at around 530k Kev. Maybe you are thinking of yeo starting at a much lower price? Or maybe i read it wrong lol

Daniel Z · 06/05/2017 at 12:54
Yeo was 409 to start (I had to check because the way I read what Kev wrote, it sounded like he meant JJK was 409k).

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 12:36
Geez. I haven't seen much from Goldy to suggest he's a good pick. Rucks are a nightmare this season as far as working out the best R1-2 to finish the season. I'm far from convinced ATM that Goldy is one of them. And if Preuss comes back at some point which is very likely your going to be in the foetal position. Mummy is too expensive & doesn't play enough. Stef well if Archie comes in he's stuffed. Grundy well each game Cox has played he goes sub 100. So my advice Sam is take the donut

The Ranger · 05/05/2017 at 12:41
Same from me Sam, I'm taking the donut.
It hurts but it means I can stick to the trade plans that I had in place.

SirSamuel016 · 05/05/2017 at 13:33
Yeah, taking the donut is probably for the best in the long run when I think about it. Thanks for the help dude! Also, thoughts on downgrading Otten or Hampton to someone like Melican for some more cash generation?

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 13:48
Otten & Hampton play for the best team & have the latest bye round. And they have shown they are capable of decent scoring. If you really want the Pelican find someone else. Keep in mind he has a round 11 bye. That round is a nightmare

SirSamuel016 · 05/05/2017 at 13:53
Hmm yeah. I'm just toying with idea atm as I'll need to make some more cash so I can get Pendles in next week. Don't really want to go Newman to Melican but I suppose it's an option as well. Tom Stewart too.

Lazza · 05/05/2017 at 15:27
" Stef well if Archie comes in he's stuffed" … can't see how you draw that conclusion.
Martin & Smith have only ever played in 1 game together – R21 last year.
No one is fielding 2 rucks at the moment … some are struggling with 1.

Kev · 05/05/2017 at 15:24
Get Sandi SirSam, nobody to take his spot and averaging more than Goldy,Stef and grundy over the last few. Ideally you'd trade out a fwd and move Nank and then after Pruess plays again and reaches 320k trade him for strandika to open the ruck/fwd swing.

SirSamuel016 · 05/05/2017 at 17:31
While Sandi could be nice to have, he's risen by over 100K since the start of the season hence I think I've missed the boat on him and it's not worth forking out extra cash to bring him in when Nank is only out for a week. Brining him in would also just put a duck egg in my forward line instead and it'd mess with me getting Pendles next week. Fairly sure I'm going to go Parfitt for Parsons and Newman to Melican.

Derek · 05/05/2017 at 12:42
sounds a good move.
I'm doing similar, Parfitt to parsons.
I'll bring in EVW as well, but i need to decide out of Stewart, Preuss, Simpkin or pickett who gets the chop. At the moment it is Preuss, i feel i've been lied to.

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 12:46
Same. Didn't Brad Scott say in his press conference last week he'd in a way for Goldy & Preuss to play together. Perhaps he meant the VFL. Prick

The Ranger · 05/05/2017 at 13:14
None of the North picks have worked out very well so far have they?
I'd be holding Preuss if I had him. He'll make money and score decent points when Goldy gets injured next.
Do you have to trade Derek? Not sure on EVW.

kim · 05/05/2017 at 13:05
You can probably get mcniece next week though as he is only rested this week if he is picked, not sold on his js but he is only 102k, hopefully hibberd (nm) comes back at some stage but i think north would need a few injuries or form drop for tat to happen.

FranklinSHow · 05/05/2017 at 13:08
Ben McNiece – Was rested this week but has played 2 for the bombers, priced at $102k. Not huge scores but his write up talks about his deadly left boot.
Haven't seen him play to be honest he is the only defender on the Horizon.

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 13:28
Ben McNeice at age 25 being rested after 2 games. I'm not so sure. Hope he does come back soon. Pruess was rested a few weeks ago. He must be still tired cause he ain't getting a gig

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 12:53
NO

Ben · 05/05/2017 at 13:01
Who out of
Hannebery, Cripps and gray then? Leaning towards cripps

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 13:30
Cripps seems to be building. He could go on a rampage soon

Randomcliche2 · 06/05/2017 at 00:23
I've ridden the Jack Steven train before and can hit $600k, if he does you should sell. Fair price $565k for mine. So yeah, pick him up next week if you look like running short on cash gen, at just over $500k will be a risky but not entirely stoopid move if short on cash. I won't be buying.

Chenz · 05/05/2017 at 17:51
Been thinking the same all week but think I'm going to take nanks donut instead, don't like Martin yet will look at him after his bye

Frankstonphil · 05/05/2017 at 19:26
I'm thinking the same thing but I might go Grundy instead, price is better and It's all about the cash this year but I think Martin is a got pick and I will look at upgrading Sandilands to he after the byes.

Westy · 06/05/2017 at 04:27
Already have Grundy.

THE SALTSHAKER · 05/05/2017 at 12:41
I get Nank back next week, rnd 8 and Greene week after….this is one of those tough decisions to take the donut for the long term benefit of getting at least one cash cow in my side this week so I stay relevant weeks to come, also Houston is a chance to clear out a rnd 9 byes which is needed if im gonna bring GAJ in
SPP has another couple of weeks, might go Swallow down to Myers if the rest no good to him in a few and upgrade Witts before his bye looks like the plan to cover GAJ rnd 9….depending upon scoring of course.

The Ranger · 05/05/2017 at 14:10
SPP to Myers on the bubble will be a popular trade if it comes off

The Ranger · 05/05/2017 at 12:42
Option 1 for mine.

Gaj · 06/05/2017 at 01:17
Fair call with GAJ
If he scores 140 each round for the next 2 weeks you will be paying almost $100k extra for him.
Honestly it's now or never with him

kim · 05/05/2017 at 13:12
I am also running with hibberd (nm) and stewart in def, not too worried unlikely to be late out hopefully. Stewart is also listed as emergency so still outside chance of playing if geelong have a withdrawal. A lot of teams will be affected anyway if a newman/otten/hampton/marchbank dont play so won't stress about it. More peoples ruck (if nank in ruck) forwards with nank and greene and no rookie cover or mids with beams out also if no rookie cover that are more worrying for most i think this week.
Should make for an interesting round, i'm hoping to move up rankings as i have plenty of rookie coverage in forwards and mids and hopefully i can nail vc loop not like last week!!

Nick · 05/05/2017 at 13:05
Would get Pendlebury I would say. But both have fairy high BE. So can hold off for next week.

kim · 05/05/2017 at 13:14
Think they may both go 130+ as both have very good records against their opposition. I would get pendles this week as he is cheaper. Toss of a coin as to who will score more though!!

ALowe · 05/05/2017 at 13:25
Yeah I think either way it's fairly safe, I'm gonna back dependlebury

Nick · 05/05/2017 at 13:07
Otten by far, his BE is highest 55 and he isn't playing the position that he was getting 100 in. He has to go this week or next at the latest. Marchbank is consistent and price won't move much either way.

FranklinSHow · 05/05/2017 at 13:17
I'm just a little gun shy of going early because I thought the same of WHE and traded him out last week for the big Bud.
Whether to double downgrade or paint the fence is going to haunt me for the next 24 hours.

Jimmy · 05/05/2017 at 13:17
Is Fyfe out?

DavidSA · 05/05/2017 at 13:25
Typo my bad

hedski · 05/05/2017 at 17:14
Dahl named yeah?

Randomcliche2 · 06/05/2017 at 00:31
My cash gen is going okay, so will be focusing on McCrae, and perhaps even Wallis when he come back. Franklin yes, just hope the swans mids turn it around so they can kick it to him. Hawkins yeah nah doesn't get enough around the ground for me. I think either of Ryder or Higgins or Steele (already played) are better options at that price point.

The Ranger · 05/05/2017 at 13:06
I had the same options and I ditched Otten this week.
His good scores came when Jenkins wasn't playing.

Nick · 05/05/2017 at 13:09
Otten will either just get his BE or just miss it. He has changed position and only got 61 last week and with BE of 55 he should only just get it. He has to go next week.

Relton · 05/05/2017 at 15:32
exact same boat!! it's hampton for me though.

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 13:11
You might regret trading Nank out more than the doughnut you'll get if you don't, maybe just take your medicine this week mate.

FranklinSHow · 05/05/2017 at 14:44
His output was not the Beams of old. He has done his job was never a keeper. Hit the T button.

pod · 05/05/2017 at 15:17
What for? Beams is injured and will take time to get match fit.

Randomcliche2 · 06/05/2017 at 00:33
He is sitting on my bench this week. Welcome double down.

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 13:26
Did you mean Bowes out for Parsons? Trading Parfitt in would be a bit bizarre lol

DavidSA · 05/05/2017 at 13:31
Yup man lol this round got my brain fried

Wal · 05/05/2017 at 13:50
You might want to rethink that second trade David!

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 13:29
I've had him from gotime and yes he's been very reliable, there are other good options too though, Simpson, Shaw etc

mized · 05/05/2017 at 13:30
LLoyd is maybe a top 8 defender, 6 will be a bonus.

Danners · 05/05/2017 at 17:17
He will be one of the top defenders maybe top 10 since he doesn't blast out 120+ scores often enough

Kev · 05/05/2017 at 14:18
As a Grundy owner I'm heading down to the Lexus centre a bit later on to do exactly that, Holty!

Touk tuk · 05/05/2017 at 14:37
Im going Martin… mummy to risky

TheGerman · 05/05/2017 at 15:42
Mummy is the form ruck. Tackles a lot, some misplaced hence the weekends off at times. But he is a monster and can
go very big

Wedge · 05/05/2017 at 17:15
I'm hearing mummy a late out. So your reluctance may be well founded

Rick Grimes · 05/05/2017 at 14:16
Hanners was definitely carrying something early on, but he's building and if he really gets going his ceiling is way higher (IMO).

TRIGGER HAPPY · 05/05/2017 at 15:08
There has been some news floating around recently that hanners is carrying a mild case of OP.

hedski · 05/05/2017 at 17:17
Off P!ss??

Danners · 05/05/2017 at 17:16
Yeah JPK seems to be a solid option and a handy POD

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 15:01
Don't fall into the gaz trap. If you have so much cash in bank then don't bother downgrading Otten, I would go someone like Hampton instead who has a lower output. Keep kelly for a little while – he is providing premium output at the moment.

THE SALTSHAKER · 05/05/2017 at 17:52
not sure its a trap, he has had 36, 34, 33 and 45 disposals this month….

pod · 05/05/2017 at 15:11
So you're bringing in three elite midfielders GAJ, Pendles, and Sloane. I can't argue at all.

TheGerman · 05/05/2017 at 15:40
Yep looks great to me. Three premiums, giggety.

Kev · 05/05/2017 at 15:36
Thanks, SC.
I like option 1. Fiorini won't do anything special for you. What indeed were you thinking?! Go with Pendles. This week is shaping up to be utter carnage again, get him in a slap the VC on him. If he spuds it against Carlton then surely the apocalypse won't be far away

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 14:07
If you go through Pendles scoring history you will notice 2 things. It's absolutely ridiculous & consecutive sub 100 scores is almost non existent. Collecting him at 577k is a gift. I wouldn't think twice about it if I didn't already have him. And chuck the VC on him. He loves playing Carlton

FEARTHEBEARD · 05/05/2017 at 14:16
Cheers once again Pieman. My concern is who the rookies are coming forward.
Need to see cash keep being generated. Balic while 50k dearer may be a good one with another 100-150k+ to come?
Black could also pump out 150k so I'm stuck on if I take that and still should win H2H and go for Pendles next week?

Wal · 05/05/2017 at 15:43
I agree with INPieman, I never go a rookie after his bubble has burst and also don't rate Black that highly, don't think you can go wrong this week with Parsons and Pendles

Rick Grimes · 05/05/2017 at 14:15
Parsons I think is the one to grab this week. Black I'm less sure of his JS. Last week he got a bit of it but butchered the ball. Balic you've missed the first price rise, is it worth it? I'd go the first option personally. Buying players at the best price is what this game is all about.

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 14:23
Completely agree with Rick. Parsons onfield & Black on the bench tells me a story

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 15:27
The same questions do tend to repeat themselves hundreds of times, I kinda get sick of seeing the same thing posted over and over and over again too.
I think it's due to the format of this forum where it doesn't seem to auto-refresh, and when you do refresh, it always leaves you back on bloody page 1.

TheGerman · 05/05/2017 at 15:39
Hit the last activity button at the top of the thread of posts, which will take you to the newest post in time order

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 16:03
Ahh got it now mate, thanks for that!..never even noticed it lol

Kev · 05/05/2017 at 14:15
The postcard specifically mentions Jock, Trigger. We've all seen the great man in the mag and I wouldn't be surprised if Patch had it in his carry on luggage in case the in flight entertainment wasn't up to scratch

TRIGGER HAPPY · 05/05/2017 at 14:29
pay that one
he is only human.

Wal · 05/05/2017 at 15:18
Tags don't work on Pendles and I doubt they will anyway, Sloane would be tempting

Lazza · 05/05/2017 at 15:49
Hey Donn,
Either of Sloane and Pendles will be a good outcome … I'd imagine you will want both of them eventually … Sloane MAY drop in price … Pendles will definitely go up at some stage. I'd look at your cash flow for the next 3 weeks to be sure you can bring premos in on a steady basis from thereon. You may want to bank on Sloane after his BYE – its a long wait (R13) but you should have locked away a couple more premos by then.
BTW – be sure of what you want. Sadly, I will only be able to fit in Sloane now by trading sideways … late in the season.

The Ranger · 05/05/2017 at 16:01
Get Pendles mate. He won't be this cheap again and the way you do well at this game is to buy good players at their lowest price.
Sloanes price will come down at some point.

Kim · 05/05/2017 at 16:28
He may get tagged but they may decide to tag treloar instead. Clearly they haven't tagged pendles the past 4 times they have played or if they have it clearly didn't work. I brought him in as he is the best cheapest super premo available this week and suits my buy structures the best.
Slone is far too expensive and won't keep up his average for long, rocky on the way down so best off buying in 1-2 weeks, Merrett won't be in top 8-10 forwards. Pendles will be and is the best of that bunch at his current price. I think he will tear Carlton a new one also so he is my vc for this week.

Mongoose · 05/05/2017 at 23:25
Why jump on Pendles you say, well only because he is the most durable and consistent player that SC may have ever seen

Wal · 05/05/2017 at 14:22
Otten has a bit more mooing to do, any other options? If I were you I'd look at Parfitt to Parsons and Beams to Pendles

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 14:43
Trade this week unless you have an onfield doughnut – then look after than. Murphy can last a week, but if you have no other pressing issues then pull the trigger.

Baxter · 05/05/2017 at 14:46
I have Beams…

TheGerman · 05/05/2017 at 15:41
I think he'll not get anywhere close, though he's scoring at least. Got 31 disposals last week, so is still getting the ball.

Bad_News_Brown · 05/05/2017 at 14:26
Beams – he's gone

Wedge · 05/05/2017 at 14:26
Trade roughy. Beams price won't shift and if you have decent cover in the midfield no stress

Goat · 05/05/2017 at 14:27
Beams. Injury history etc. Roughead is neither making money nor losing it. Scoring better or as well as the rookie options.

LoganJosh7 · 05/05/2017 at 14:46
haha this is what i mean boyyyyyys. i think i might get rid of beams – does mean i need to bring balic in from my forward line as cover and i lose my DP bonus as im gonna trade pickett for parsons. but you gots to do what you gots to do!

FizzEm · 05/05/2017 at 16:39
im holding beams but have decent bench cover to do so. i still believe in a season where $$ is scarce he may finish an M8 if he comes back fit after byes. roughy will be far from a keeper

Steeeve · 05/05/2017 at 14:21
I'm picking him up next week

Tommo09 · 05/05/2017 at 16:59
Same

Kim · 05/05/2017 at 16:32
I was going to get him next week originally but since beams is out I don't want 2 rookies on my mids as loosing far too many points and I doubt very much beams will be back in 2 weeks I reckon they will play it conservative. Could easily turn into 3+ weeks. However I was wrong with Riewoldt. Not worth keeping beams in my opinion will hurt you if going for overall which I am.

Kim · 05/05/2017 at 16:33
BLic I think will average more than berry so I would pick him but depends also how useful their dpp is for you.

Bad_News_Brown · 05/05/2017 at 14:35
P9. Parfitt and Hampton to What you talkin about Willis and Parsons – last chance for you grab some cash champ

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 14:40
Parfitt and Hampton to EVW and Parsons. You don't have enough cash to do an upgrade yet. Better to double downgrade this week (when there are actually good rookies) and have a solid wallet for the weeks to come.

Rivo · 05/05/2017 at 17:41
Thanks Finnius. Tough call re EVW. Have Stewart, Newman and Otten also. Still think Hampton should be first to go?

Holmes_Heroes · 05/05/2017 at 15:26
McNiece isn't playing

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 14:39
Option 1

Kim · 05/05/2017 at 16:35
Agree option 1

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 14:38
It genuinely doesn't matter who you trade this week as both will score zero. I would be going Beams this week as keeping Parfitt gives you DPP fluidity so when you get rid of him next week then you have options in both your forward line and midfield. Like butler to Parsons.

Morphin Time · 05/05/2017 at 14:41
Thanks mate. Also leaves me with $380k in the kittyz

Kim · 05/05/2017 at 16:38
I think a few will be in the same boat mate, fingers crossed indeed could be a rough week again! Let's hope our premise and vc/c are not as crap as last week though!

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 18:10
Cheers Kim, from what I've read, I'm one of the lucky ones this week not copping a doughnut onfield!
I'm playing it as safe as I can with VC and C, going Pendles and Bont, good luck to you mate.

TBone · 05/05/2017 at 15:12
I think he is. Good option for the price. According to the mids you've stated, someone with the round 11 bye looks preferable in your mid setup. May i suggest Cripps as an option to you? $513k for a mid about to explode for his team, and round 11 bye too. If I didnt have to take Beams out this week to avoid a donut, I would have happily brought in Cripps

JDP · 05/05/2017 at 15:16
Cheers Tbone

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 15:14
I think he is, averaging 114 for six rounds is hard to ignore, I put him in two weeks ago for O'Meara.
He's still a pretty good price too.

TheGerman · 05/05/2017 at 15:15
Had Oliver from the start. Pleasantly surprised. I've also watched a fair bit of Melbourne's games and he doesn't seem to need
much to post very good numbers i.e. 105+. So I think he's the real deal. Tackling is a bonus as well. I think he's a keeper even
if he only rounds out M8/9

Wal · 05/05/2017 at 15:16
He looks the real deal but I don't think he'll be a top 10 mid come year's end

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 15:29
Cool, might field him over Hampton then if that's the case.

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 15:42
Can loophole Hampton with him if not selected anyways – so there is no detraction of starting him.

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 16:00
Cheers mate.

Dazza · 05/05/2017 at 16:05
Emergency on the extended bench champ

pod · 05/05/2017 at 16:28
He's green on SC, you beauty!!

Kim · 05/05/2017 at 16:41
He is on the extended bench at the moment so it is a mistake should be in orange. Wait for teams tonight to see if he made the cut. I don't have him so won't be disappointed at all if he is an emergency this week.

Steeeve · 05/05/2017 at 17:11
He is OUT emergency

Steeeve · 05/05/2017 at 17:03
Good luck, he's carrying that 210 for the next fortnight. Price is only going one way.

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 15:41
Lloyd for me. DPP is so valuable and they will all average very similarly. Youngest and least likely to get injured is another benefit.

WhatsaFtumch · 05/05/2017 at 15:38
I would think Marchbank, Hampton & Otten all have better JS than Stewart, although I'm not convinced on EVW – could lose his spot to Hibberd?

Steeeve · 05/05/2017 at 15:53
Hope so. I'd happily bring Hibberd back into my side if he returned and scored a 60+. Might seem unlikely but he can find the pill at VFL level no worries.

Relton · 05/05/2017 at 16:05
do you prefer melican over EVW

WhatsaFtumch · 05/05/2017 at 17:18
Not really convinced by either to be honest…both Sydney and North seem to have options in defence to bring in (Almir, McVeigh, Talia, Hibberd, Mullett}…although I think EVW will possibly play more games for the year…I would rather wait and bring in Myers as a mid in a week or two

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 15:40
Hampton

K.Sinny · 05/05/2017 at 15:58
Well obviously stewart since he isnt even playing

Junior · 05/05/2017 at 16:04
its actually not that obvious k.sinny as stewart is only being managed so he will be back next week and his BE is -5 still. so plenty of cash left in him where other BEs are about there AVGs… so hampton IMO.

K.Sinny · 05/05/2017 at 16:27
oh ok i thought he got dropped thanks

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 16:03
You still munching pies down Relton?

Relton · 05/05/2017 at 16:20
a four n twenty and VB at the halftime of the magoos & still find plenty of the pill! could keep up with that butler at the tiges still!
whose the pick of the defenders Pieman? EVW Melican McNiece or berry even?

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 15:39
risky but could be a serious ploy. Nice VC option.

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 15:59
Naismith isn't really no ruck, he is at least a Ruckman and not someone filling in for one.

Wedge · 05/05/2017 at 18:39
Swans valued naismith over nank so he must be considered a half decent ruckman. But in saying that they also think tippett is a ruckman…

Danners · 05/05/2017 at 17:15
A very unique VC and C. Supposing that is Nick Riewoldt, you could find a better VC instead of him

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 15:48
I like option one. Nank on bench and avoiding a doughnut is the best solution.

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 15:56
Otten 75, Hampton about 60 and Marchbank about 55

FizzEm · 05/05/2017 at 16:24
can i ask what the BE calculation method is to figure it out.. i have always tried but no idea how it works

Choppers · 05/05/2017 at 17:38
This is a very rough formula but it's pretty close….ie: Players Price divided by 5140 multiplied by 3 then minus the sum of the two previous rounds…it needs to worked out after the players price change.
SUPERCOACH BREAKEVEN FORMULA
Player’s Price X 3 minus (sum of previous 2 rounds)
5140

Big fact hunt · 05/05/2017 at 19:20
Easy way of doing it is 3round average. Every 20 points equals $100000. So if average is 90 break even is $450000. Not exact but very close and can do in your head easily

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 18:40
To be perfectly honest I look at the projected score and their projected BE. If i think they are going to score slightly more/less then I guess based on their last few weeks. Supercoach gold is pretty amazing – if you seriously care about supercoach it is a great tool and I recommend everyone get it.

Steeeve · 05/05/2017 at 17:02
Boy oh boy really is time to cull the Crow boys very shortly. Come on defence rookies!!!
Even hoping Mitch Hibberd comes back for North, now that is desperation!

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 16:53
That would be tough on otten. He's been awesome

JohndJames · 05/05/2017 at 17:10
I'ts not looking good is it BrownlowBoy,if last week wasn't bad enough with low scores,now we have to cop donuts.I'm just taking it and going with the trades that I was planing to do anyway,need the cash generation while it is there,so Pickett to Parsons and Parfitt to Melican for me.

gfff · 05/05/2017 at 16:15
Pendles or Bont

Danners · 05/05/2017 at 17:13
DePendlebury

Derek · 05/05/2017 at 17:26
I'm just waiting for the Bont to have a poor game……. might not happen!

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 16:52
Not much in the way of def & Fwd rookies on the horizon. If you can cover beams for this week it's not a bad idea

JohndJames · 05/05/2017 at 16:59
I'm doubling down,Pickett to Parsons and Parfitt to Melican,so getting in the same players,need to grab them while we can,trading Beams to Pendles next week.

Rocksta · 05/05/2017 at 16:40
I'm in the same boat. It's doing my head in.
Turning Eddy into Parsons just seems like such a waste of a trade. That said, I don't think Eddy will be getting a game any time soon so may have to bite the bullet.

Agreed · 05/05/2017 at 16:45
Really is a waste of a trade but it seems Eddy won't be breaking into the side anytime soon. Think I'll get parsons for him and just accept it as a rookie correction, will need the cover heading into byes.

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 16:59
Tough call. But not many forward rooks coming up so go Parsons in this case & grab Pendles next week

Derek · 05/05/2017 at 17:24
Tough call. I have to cull either Preuss or Simpkin to make sure I have no donuts in forward line.
I'm sure Simpkin will be back next week but Preuss not sure

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 18:27
Like option 2 – a doughnut is a doughnut, and if you can do beams into pendles next week then it's water off a ducks back

Choppers · 05/05/2017 at 17:41
I've gone Pendles this week and made him my VC, and will go Premo defender next week, moving on Marchbank or Hampton.

Randomcliche2 · 06/05/2017 at 01:03
Are you still planning Gaz post bye? I would go Gaz this week over Pendles if you got cover for Rnd 9 (or Myers bubble??)

Choppers · 05/05/2017 at 17:42
Newman is Emergency

Declan · 05/05/2017 at 16:37
Sorry didn't mean to post that- that was part of my last post

Top hawk · 05/05/2017 at 16:44
No. Only 2.

Kim · 05/05/2017 at 16:56
It's the same as every other round you still field your best 22 also not 18 like rounds 11-13

Top hawk · 05/05/2017 at 17:10
Berry could work for you. His first three games were putrid and he actually fell in price after he went on the bubble. He somehow kept his place and played very well last week for his 62. So he has only gone up about $8K. His BE is only 11 and will rise much more sharply from here. Its almost like he is on the bubble now after having played 4 games.Looks like this kid is a late bloomer. I have him and his MID/DEF eligibility is also very appealing. As he has played 2 more games under his belt his JS looks solid too. Very valid option for mine. Cheers

Derek · 05/05/2017 at 17:21
Lions love him. Named in team sheet where Beams would have been. I do love my DPP's.

Joe T · 05/05/2017 at 17:22
Yeah I'm really leaning towards Berry now, like you said he's got 2 more games under his belt and Beams out probably helps his JS even more. I just don't trust Chris Scott with his team line ups, cheers hawk!

Kim · 05/05/2017 at 16:54
Neither are top 8 mids waste of a trade get Pendles this week or save a trade if you have cover. Neither are worth it, crippsmis a better choice he at least has potential to be top 10 mid from here on out.

Danners · 05/05/2017 at 17:12
Like Kim said, neither will be top players near the end so maybe downgrade him

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 18:17
Montagna risky pick as body is an issue for the old timer. Like targeting Pendles and Stef

Beastiano · 05/05/2017 at 18:55
Unless your ranking is high and that is your overall goal, take the loss and stick with your trade plan. There is a fair portion of the community with team issues this week as is evident here.

Danners · 05/05/2017 at 17:11
Missed the boat on Balic so Parsons and EVW

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 17:24
I'd be a little concerned with Pelican's JS as well. Horrid year for rookies

Oliver · 05/05/2017 at 17:29
Same boat as you – not sure who out of Newman and Stewart is more likely to get a game

Top hawk · 05/05/2017 at 17:21
Ahhh Scheize!!!. Newman is turning into a yo yo player. In one week, out the next. Giving me the sh-ts. Hampton will have to go on field with no bench cover. Perhaps I need to grab Heath Shaw this week and Pendles next week now.
Cheers Steeeeeve

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 17:22
Twice in 3 weeks is not a good sign. Big call to make on him now

Moosehead · 05/05/2017 at 17:41
How did you get that info so early Steeeve because final Sunday teams are not announced until 5.30, or so I thought.

Choppers · 05/05/2017 at 17:45
Sunday teams are finalised at 5pm Fridays.

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 17:19
He's been dropped. He's listed as an emergency

Derek · 05/05/2017 at 17:46
You were just hoping

Dutch · 05/05/2017 at 19:18
I saw it too, it was green for a while about 6:30pm, now back to orange – HS playing games with us ….

WhatsaFtumch · 05/05/2017 at 17:24
Parsons…Black most vulnerable to Menzel coming back…Parsons also seems more versatile (more mobile, could play mid, back & forward?)

Lazza · 05/05/2017 at 18:51
Menzel is already back !!!

Derek · 05/05/2017 at 17:46
Which Black Guy?

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 18:02
Lol, maybe he means just black guys in general 🙂

Westy · 06/05/2017 at 06:33
That's why enjoy listening to NIRS football.

Randomcliche2 · 06/05/2017 at 01:09
Buy gaz!

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 17:27
Hampton is playing. Keep warm bodies!

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 17:27
See above

Joe T · 05/05/2017 at 17:33
Cheers Pieman! Posted almost simultaneously to defyingmadness haha, didn't see it

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 17:36
His bye is the problem I have with him. EVW in round 12 & cheaper is a little more appealing. But the Lions seriously rate Berry as they should. Tough call.

TOPHAWK1 · 05/05/2017 at 17:41
I am jealous of you Pieman. You have Gaz and I DONT. Still its a choice of either Gaz or Pendles to bring in this week. I am going Pendles because of Ablett's untimely bye. Just have to accept the fact that it looks like I am going to have to fork out big bucks to get him for round 10. Worth it though. Good luck this week mate.

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 17:56
Nice plan TopHawk. Picking up the durable beast first is probably the correct decision. Someone from the Herald sun said this week if Pendles didn't play injured he'd of played 60 less games at least. If you had Pendles I'd stress to get Gary & role the dice. Good luck to you to. We will need some luck from the gods this week. We are due

Derek · 05/05/2017 at 17:44
Do you have Gaz?

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 17:50
I started with Gary & Pendles Derek. I always do. If they go on a tear & you don't have them you really notice

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 23:10
you on track for a doughy pieman?

TOPHAWK1 · 05/05/2017 at 18:03
You have $140K+ in the warchest Derek? Grab Parsons for Simpkin and the Parfitt for either Heath Shaw or Kade Simpson? (DPP) I don't trust EVW's job security. Cheers

Derek · 05/05/2017 at 19:58
Thought of that, but was about $20k short for Simmo and $10k for Shaw

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 18:11
probably simpkin as preuss would mean bringing nank into the ruck w/o cover for either him or sandi – which I don't think is a great idea.

Derek · 05/05/2017 at 19:54
preuss at R3 and Nank at F4. Cameron at F8 would swing with Preuss.

Dutch · 05/05/2017 at 19:14
10 non players here, facing either two donuts in fwd line or one in fwd line and one in mids, depending on where I place Balic – that's before trades. Parsons into fwd line for Parfitt takes care of one, but it means Balic has to be in mids, and facing a fwd donut because not willing trade Eddy (low value) or Simpkin (too early). Trading up to Pendles or Bont in mids to compensate – either should score the same as two rookies (fingers crossed).
Derek, agree with Finnius about Simpkin vs Pruess, if forced to choose I'd let go of Simpkin. As per a separate post, Berry worth considering vs EVW, better job security as long as you can predominantly place him on the pine.

Tommo09 · 05/05/2017 at 19:25
7 for me this week

Derek · 05/05/2017 at 19:56
Already have Berry.
What other def rookies

SirSamuel016 · 05/05/2017 at 17:39
In my opinion, he's probably not worth it. That 210 is gone and he won't replicate that every week either. He could pick up a bit but I'd expect him to return to the output we've seen from him in the weeks prior.

Jrod · 05/05/2017 at 17:42
Sometimes the love for the great man gets me blindsided

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 19:49
He won't get 210 every week, but he's looking bloody good, I'm gonna try to get him before he gets too expensive. He's the champ.

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 19:48
Supercoach Nazi says…..no bench for you..meaning me..lol

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 17:47
Yes & we haven't even made it to Sunday. This could be a massive rank change week

Kim · 05/05/2017 at 17:53
If some aren't effected too badly by outs (like me) we might be able to go up a fair few in ranks hopefully as well. But yes sucks for a lot who have nank in rucks and no cover in def, mid or fwds this week. At least Barrett is playing in mids might save a few a doughnut for beams perhaps.
Hurts with trading though as a lot of people can no longer do the trades they jntended to strengthen certain lines and some players won't be as cheap next week.
They don't call it "SuperCoach" for no reasons though! Should be called genius coach this year I Reckon!

Kim · 05/05/2017 at 18:01
Could be worse though if this was bye rounds a lot of people wouldn't be close to fielding 18 players with the amount of outs there are, hope this doesn't happen in by rounds otherwise some will get some very low scores

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 18:07
I am pretty happy this week to be honest – hopefully can climb a few

Derek · 05/05/2017 at 17:55
these are the types of weeks the top players love. Sorts the pretenders out. Bit like a howling southerly at The Lakes, let's see who can play in less than perfect conditions.

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 18:11
Newman. Think Stewart has a better chance of getting his job back. And a negative BE

Oliver · 05/05/2017 at 18:14
Hey Pieman,
I still have Mitchell Hibberd (North) on my bench. Do you reckon I should trade him out for EVW or should I just leave him there and trade out Newman for the cash? I have $618k in the bank already due to double downing last week.
Cheers!

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 18:06
I would be downgrading at least one rookie this week. This is because there is practically no-one on the bubble next week so that is a good time to do the double upgrade. Would be going one premo this week not two – and then hopefully a couple next.

SCdonkey · 05/05/2017 at 18:50
I'd love to get a Rookie in, but non of them on the bubble this week has a JS. I don't want to trade in a Rookie and gets dropped next week.
I'll probably wait in the bye rounds to get a Rookie in that's on the bubble. At least that way, I'll have full 18 players for the byes.
Round 13 will be tough for me as i have 7 premos/keepers out for the round and 3 rookies.

hedski · 05/05/2017 at 19:25
Parsons has the best js Donk, very highly rated at the cattery.(out of this weeks bubble boys)

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 18:14
Tough call. But I like your thinking regarding byes. I'm going to try to replace donuts & leave non playing premos on the pine this week. Make a call on Beams next week & gather more intel

Jason · 05/05/2017 at 18:43
Bont .

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 19:04
Bont for sure. Danger is hampered with injury

TOPHAWK1 · 05/05/2017 at 18:15
Agreed. Been crowing about it all week.

BrownlowBoy · 05/05/2017 at 18:24
But the first few weeks of him stinking the joint up is worrying me.

Dutch · 05/05/2017 at 19:03
Also playing Sydney this week in Sydney, don't like his chances of scoring over 50 ….. but he'll get plenty of games through the year so may be a viable bench player, just not on field

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 19:47
Points chaser!…haha just kidding, Gazza or Pendles great choices this week, wish I could've gotten both.

INPieman · 05/05/2017 at 19:05
Anyone you like!

KSinny · 05/05/2017 at 18:25
Looks like he's playing unless he's a late withdrawl

Oliver · 05/05/2017 at 18:35
I'm in the same scenario as you. Will be going with option 3 – just haven't decided whether to trade Newman or M.Hibberd (North Melb) since I have no idea when or if he will get a game. What do you reckon? Newman + cash or a non-playing rook? I have 618k in the bank.

tom · 05/05/2017 at 18:47
Yes I can also go trade Hibberd. Not sure who to offload Hibberd or Newman?

Oliver · 05/05/2017 at 18:50
I was a fan of Newman when I was watching the Syd games – tough one 🙁

tom · 05/05/2017 at 19:00
doesn't matter if we are fans, Horse obviously is not.

Oliver · 05/05/2017 at 19:13
Yeah you're right. Guess it depends if you need the money next week or if you want to have the score this week.

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 18:43
Option 3

Dean · 05/05/2017 at 21:13
Hold Newman he has a B/E of only 15 and will play soon. Who knows whats going on with Hibberd especially now that EVW has now been playing.

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 18:37
AFL website says omitted but he is travelling with the team as emergency.

hedski · 05/05/2017 at 18:43
Chris Scott said Omitted because if the team sheet says "managed" they can't be a late inclusion, expect a late change for the cats this week (hopefully not Danger out for Menegola).

Lazza · 05/05/2017 at 18:49
He managed to be dropped. Replaced by Thurlow. But will be back..

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 19:38
I see what you did there! 🙂 lol

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 18:42
Bont is in form at the moment whilst Danger isn't, so go him

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 18:42
Flip a coin or something, you'll be ok.

Jason · 05/05/2017 at 18:46
Bont

BlueNath · 05/05/2017 at 19:06
Not really. Adams should end up in your backline anyway. Just be mindful come the byes when you have multiple premos from the same team. Good thing is Pies have their bye in round 13, so you should have traded well enough to get through without donuts (SC gods pending). Pendles will be the same $ next week too (or thereabouts), so maybe wait anyway on him. Rockliff is expect to drop by about 40k this week so wait on him too. So I think Macrae or Mitchell

BlueNath · 05/05/2017 at 19:07
oh, and the Bont! Actually, if it were me I'd lock in the Bont to go well against the Tigers

Jason · 05/05/2017 at 18:48
Newman is out if that helps

Joe · 05/05/2017 at 19:03
Didn't realise thanks for that! Leaning towards Hampton, any thoughts?

Jason · 05/05/2017 at 19:07
Im trading out Hampton . Id probably go for Williamson on ground but honestly dont think there will be much difference between the 2 scores

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 19:36
I'd bench Hampton Joe, too much of a YO YO boy

Jason · 05/05/2017 at 18:55
I have the same problem . Im going for Balic .

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 18:58
Wish I had that problem, I have no bench…Balic.

Jason · 05/05/2017 at 19:08
Im playing 1 short and no bench cover in defence or forwards . Just hope Otten isnt a late out tomorrow .

TOPHAWK1 · 05/05/2017 at 19:16
Balic.
Will be OK against the bombers.

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 19:32
Read every other post asking the same question

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 19:32
EVW

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 20:10
Pendles VC, Bont C for me.

Tommo09 · 05/05/2017 at 20:23
I'm going Danger into Fyfe
Just as a few people are doubting Danger he is going to explode

Liam · 05/05/2017 at 20:52
Seems similar to just last week when Pendles was "injured" and scored 149 next week.

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 19:44
Good call

Dean · 05/05/2017 at 21:03
I'm going Sloane VC – To Pendles Captain this weeks.

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 21:08
Even better Dean.

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 19:52
Depends on who you trade out I guess, are you trading out playing players or non playing players?

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 20:08
Good call I reckon, gets a lot of it and has a pretty good efficiency when he does, a lot of guys are still stuck with cheap backlines after all the carnage and only 24% have him at the moment. Set and forget.

Dean · 05/05/2017 at 21:01
Lock it in Matt sounds very logical.

Brian · 05/05/2017 at 21:12
Same for me mate. The mistake was not starting with him. Absolute gun

Tyruddanaut · 05/05/2017 at 21:10
Looking good so far but only HT

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 21:15
Fingers crossed, be better if they could bloody find the goals a bit more with their shitty kicking!

Tyruddanaut · 05/05/2017 at 21:09
100k in a few weeks? More like 10 weeks. He will not even close to be good enough cash gen.
Parsons is fantastic. Instantly, after his suspension, he was in the side, on the field as a starting 18 player

neilDemons Delight · 05/05/2017 at 21:34
unless I paid 20 bucks for zilch yeah 100 by R9 40 this week alone but each to their own 450 in R9 PRETTY GOOD STEPPING STONE I RECKON capable of going big Parsons wont Stanley Black Lincoln all capable Good luck TRIG

TOPHAWK1 · 05/05/2017 at 21:15
You mean EVW?

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 21:20
Dunno about that man, the guy is far from reliable, and has a distinct lack of heart and guts at times, and he's already 137k over his starting price, you'd be better off going for Parsons, why do you doubt his job security?…he looked pretty good to me before his silly indiscretion.
I reckon he has more JS than Black, Black's been around for several years and has hardly ever shown anything, don't reckon he'll keep his spot.

DavidSA · 05/05/2017 at 22:35
Stepping stone or not your burning 2 trades for 100k
Your MAD!

DavidSA · 05/05/2017 at 22:37
Not to mention he may not get that 100k increase your predicting

Dean · 06/05/2017 at 22:46
After the chickens ass done jack shit, WHE will struggle to make 100k unless he goes huge next week but bloody hell my sacrifice to bring in EVW & Parsons nose aka (Chickens ass) both done very little and Parsons especially will struggle to make the Cats top 22

Valens_FC · 06/05/2017 at 08:17
The biggest risk to his JS was Gregson coming off the LTI (Parsons is a rookie upgrade). Parfitt will now go the LTI and with McCarthy also struggling with fitness the outlook is good for Parsons.

Derek · 05/05/2017 at 21:22
Longer has had 20 HO compared to Mummy's 23HO to half time.
Longer on -2
Mummy on 30

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 21:25
Probably cause none of Longer's have been to advantage Derek, in other words useless tapouts for no gain or to the opposition, and two frees against. I think they pay 5 points for a hit out to advantage don't they? not sure myself.

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 21:15
Good O Tophawk, he's travelling ok 51 at half time, Premo in…Can't get a gamer out, Pendles won't change price much unless he gets 200. Beamer to Pendles next week. 🙂

TOPHAWK1 · 05/05/2017 at 21:24
Feeling even better now Russty! Hopefully heater can tonne up!

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 21:33
65 now mate, and just took a good mark, looking good for ya 🙂

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 21:39
Hey Dean, I'm leaning towards option 2 mate, chances are half the guys you play this week will have a doughnut anyway, congrats on your rank by the way. You shouldn't drop too much with a doughnut.
I like the idea of you having 570k in the bank for next week, to do whatever the hell you want to. IE strengthen up your backline and your Fwd line.

TOPHAWK1 · 05/05/2017 at 21:58
The round has started and I am watching the footy. No can do!

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 22:04
Hahaha I love it!

JohndJames · 05/05/2017 at 22:01
I've gone with option two,didn't worry about the donuts and just went with the trades I was planing.Pickett to Parsons and Parfitt to Melican,we need to get the cash generation while it is there,if I had tried to cover the donuts,which I could have,I would have been bringing in players that were just a stop gap,like Ryder for the ruck for example.I didn't want to go for Martin since he should be cheaper later on.So we have a definite donut in the ruck and most probably in defence as well.We just have to take it.Curently ranked 5,470 which will no doubt take a hit but am in the top eight in all my leagues.The most annoying part is this is only supposed to happen in the byes.

JohndJames · 05/05/2017 at 22:09
Just looking at your team Dean, you could always trade out Pickett instead of McGrath,via DPP.then you have McGrath in the mids who is a good player and get rid of Pickett who isn't getting a game.Nice mids by the way.

Tyruddanaut · 06/05/2017 at 07:58
That would leave him with a donut in DEF

JohndJames · 06/05/2017 at 11:42
No it wouldn't because Melican would be coming in.You trade Picket,move McGrath to mid that leaves a space in defence,which Melican moves into.

Pinger · 06/05/2017 at 00:19
Newman or Stewart to EVW & Parfitt to Martin (via ruck DPP)

Moustachio · 06/05/2017 at 06:58
Don't eat donuts Dean, they're bad for your health.
Pepper pig -> Parsons (Parfitt dpp) gives you 22 on field since Barrett is playing. I would not trade a playing player in Butler and cop a donut!

Moustachio · 06/05/2017 at 07:00
Oh nvm didn't see Nank on the ruck. Yeah you're hosed =p

JohndJames · 06/05/2017 at 12:09
Moustachio,why would you trade Powell Pepper,who is playing,for Parsons instead of Parfitt who is going to be out for six weeks.

Tyruddanaut · 06/05/2017 at 07:56
You're going to have to get Nank into FWD sometime so option 2

Dean · 06/05/2017 at 23:06
I screwed up big time. I went Parfitt to the Chickens ass (Parsons) & Pickett for EVW via DPP to generate cash.
Both Parsons and EVW done jack shit.
What I should have done is went McGrath to Melican & Parfitt to Steff Martin. That would have given me a full 22
1552/17 played with Bont as Captain. With just Titch, Heppell, Fyfe & Sandiballs I will plummet down the ranking BIG time now.

Ja191 · 05/05/2017 at 22:37
great win!

DavidSA · 05/05/2017 at 22:55
Well done Saints I have a soft spot for this team.
Adelaide Crow for life though since age of 6. But I am very excited about their list and future
I can see them finishing top 6 this year

Tyruddanaut · 06/05/2017 at 08:02
Top 6? GWS, Adelaide, Port, WCE, Dogs, Cats. Not in any particular order but it seems that saints have too much competition to be top 6. I'm voting on 7th though 🙂

Randomcliche2 · 06/05/2017 at 01:30
Great win, big scalp, and done in the same manner as the smashing of the Hawks. Pressure and waves of runners.

Tyruddanaut · 06/05/2017 at 08:00
Praise the AFL lords. I don't go for saints but don't like GWS that much either

RickeyRat · 06/05/2017 at 09:20
Good win but not sold on Giants and missed Greene and Haynes they don't have the depth to cover,reckon saints are only average side at best will just make top 8
I'm a North supporter so neutral views

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 22:42
Yeh agree Neil, he might need a few weeks off. Good ,(from my point of view) to see some of the young blokes come through and deliver.

Lazza · 05/05/2017 at 23:25
Can't see Roo finishing in the Top 6 FWDs .. can only run in a straight line …. if you call that runnng. Needs a long rest..
Robertson looks the goods.

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 22:59
Hey Sam, I reckon you need to strengthen all your lines except Rucks, You've got 4 shit kickers in your midfield and forward lines, and your backline ain't looking much better.
Barrett, Swallow,P- Pepper and O'Meara onfield in your midfield is gonna lose you huge points compared to most other teams, my advice is, trade your ass off for the next 4 weeks, and hope you end up with something competetive.

Tyruddanaut · 06/05/2017 at 08:08
Completely agree. I started the season with 11 premiums and now have 16. And he only has 11 premium rank scorers. He must be saving his trades and not listening to Crouching ones stories

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 23:15
No offence Sam, But you probably should've traded a lot more in the last 6 rounds or Chosen abit better in the first place. A lot of dudes already have a premium only midfield, and yours is a long way from that. Also, a lot of guys also have 4 premium forwards by now, once again , no offence intended.

Sam · 05/05/2017 at 23:58
None taken. It is after all only a game.
Was just wanting some advice as I've made some bad selections.
So anyone who can help me out and provide some trade options would be fantastic.
Thanks

Tyruddanaut · 06/05/2017 at 08:15
Beams will be out for 4+ weeks now, so he is a must out. Along with Omeara or Swallow who is not scoring like he should be, they should be your trade out choices. Move Baltic into mid and get parsons in FWD. Then choose out of pretty much any Mid option. Hope I helped

Randomcliche2 · 06/05/2017 at 01:43
Hope you've got a fair wack of cash. Most teams have 15/16/17 premos (excl O'meara/Roughy/Swallow, which haven't worked out). There may still be a rookie next week mcNiece and the week after but not much, which is why most are either going double down or dealing with donuts or just buying Pendles. I would consider double up this week and perhaps continuing to run the Hawks in the hope they turn it around. If less than $200k in bank then maybe double down…. Otherwise, gamble on the rookies showing themselves and paint the fence each week. Butler to Parsons, Parfitt to Gaz for mine. Gaz will do good things for you across the proper byes. Cheers

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 23:01
Could pay off – but so risky

DavidSA · 05/05/2017 at 23:06
This whole round is farked so I will punt on a 150+ possibility if Danger fails to go above 120

Finnius123 · 05/05/2017 at 23:12
fair shout. He could just burn you with a 70 though so be careful. I hope he goes 180 though.

DavidSA · 05/05/2017 at 23:15
lol I know what ya mean I was on the verge of bringing him in last week but thankfully got him in now.
444k too good to pass up on his top end scores just think home game against probably the worst team in the AFL should smash out a 100 atleast but yup 180 would be super

Tyruddanaut · 06/05/2017 at 08:17
I'd take anything above 110 tbh haha

DavidSA · 05/05/2017 at 23:10
Yeah I'm free of a donut
Premo's. 14
Mid. 1
Rooks. 7

DavidSA · 05/05/2017 at 23:11
Hoping for anything over 1950 this week

Russty_ · 05/05/2017 at 23:17
Hoping so Finnius, but I literally, have no cover on any bench lines, so I guess it depends on any late outs etc hahha whatever will be ….will be…the future is ours to seeeee……

Randomcliche2 · 06/05/2017 at 01:48
never too risky

Johnny · 06/05/2017 at 08:08
Ok the C is on Ablett this week then!

Ja191 · 06/05/2017 at 07:43
I like the look of McGovern, could be a good pod

DefyingMadness · 06/05/2017 at 01:25
Roughy. Butler has a bit of cash left in him and the Roughy seems to be a while away from playing at his best

Randomcliche2 · 06/05/2017 at 01:48
Tough call. I went Butler.

Ja191 · 06/05/2017 at 07:42
Take TT's, Barret will only score 75 max and if he does you're not losing much.

Tiger · 06/05/2017 at 09:38
65plus from a rookie is my rule of thumb. Take it, sometimes people get greedy.

BlueNath · 06/05/2017 at 09:49
You'll regret not taking risks at years end! Back in Berry I reckon. Unless you are top 500?

FizzEm · 06/05/2017 at 10:12
i've gone berry over EVW bozza. purely on JS and now beams is out for 3 weeks he will play his ruckrover role. EVW could get dropped next week for hibberd!

Johnny · 06/05/2017 at 08:46
Sloane

Tiger · 06/05/2017 at 09:15
I'm going Pendles today no choice , fingers crossed as the weather is supposed to turn . If I had Sloane , I'd go with him, only thing is he can't keep this form up every week.

Tiger · 06/05/2017 at 09:21
Same boat Wally , not sure myself, just gonna go with my gut . Didn't we like the good ol days when we just picked the little master each week and 99% of the time he came thru. Makes it More interesting now though as it's a bit of skill and more luck these days. Good luck whichever way you choose to go.

Wally · 06/05/2017 at 09:42
Thanks mate. Will look at weather conditions at Gold Coast and Perth and go from there.

Wally · 06/05/2017 at 11:30
Weather fine in Queensland and WA, unlike here.

Wally · 06/05/2017 at 11:51
Going Fyfe because of some doubt regarding Dangers fitness after Roughy' bumb a couple of weeks ago. He may even be a late withdrawal today!

LJB · 06/05/2017 at 09:10
Budwa proven premium

Tiger · 06/05/2017 at 09:40
If you have to choose now I'd go with buddy, bigger upside

Vicki · 06/05/2017 at 11:38
Yep Buddy for me too.

Vicki · 06/05/2017 at 11:58
Thanks Wombat

Dean · 06/05/2017 at 23:17
Last week I went from 5900 to top 700 – However after this week I think I might be back to 5000+
