He's young bob. Reckon he's on the up. Plays out of the middle, plenty of pill, kicks a goal here and there, exactly what you want for consistent SC points

Wedge · 16/05/2017 at 18:05
Exceptional mark also. But is still very young. So I expect a few real quiet games having to compete with the gun Swans mids but he will make it up with some massive games.

Benjamin B · 16/05/2017 at 17:03
Hes a gun, if it worked better for bye structure i would of grabbed him last weekend

pod · 16/05/2017 at 17:09
I can not wait to get Heeney, star written all over him.

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:45
He's pretty good, but the guys around the swans academy all say that Mills is better.

Wedge · 16/05/2017 at 22:40
Mills not playing mid this year though, heeney is.

Top Gun · 16/05/2017 at 21:53
I've brought him in this week. Swans on the way up again, good draw. Midfield time. Tick, tick, tick and a low BE.

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:43
I would say no

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:43
I know, annoying

luskin Star · 16/05/2017 at 18:22
I would go for it. You should have 4 trades left after full premo. you are gambling that you wont have 5 injuries. I think the reward of getting to full premo outweighs the risk of that.

redherringfc · 16/05/2017 at 18:46
are you trading out players who have maxed out or need to go? If yes, then go for it.

Tyruddanaut · 16/05/2017 at 21:57
I'm in a similar situation this week and that's what I'm doing. I have 17 trades, 4 til full premo and that should leave me with plenty left

Doggy · 16/05/2017 at 22:25
I'll be at 17 trades left with 4 spots to fill. Although don't have any rookies that will get to $300 except for Newman and spp. So if I want uber premos, I'll need to go 2 down 1 up. Already brought in some value picks and need some point scorers for my last spots.

pod · 16/05/2017 at 17:08
I'm not sure about forgetting Priddis, Pendles etc, you might as well stop coaching. A combination of young guns and proven stars will be the winning formula. : )

DaFuture · 16/05/2017 at 17:10
Spot on Jimbo

whatyasmokin · 16/05/2017 at 20:27
Agreed, that's why I started with Oliver, Steele, Marchbank and WHE. Had Kelly in my team but tried my luck with George Horlin Smith instead.
Mitchell wasn't really a bargain either but he could find a spot in my final team as his price hasn't changed.

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:41
They are definitely emerging. But there are plenty of other young guns who are not. Easy to pick out the ones going well, what about Wines, Crouch, Libba, Hall, Gaff, Billings, Caddy, Lynch………
We will know who the new guns are at the end of the season, not 8 weeks in

Kyle · 16/05/2017 at 22:26
I wouldnt say lynch is playing terrible mate. Started the year at only 500k. He is still averaging 90 and thats gonna improve over the year. Hes a top 6-8 forward for mine still

Kyle · 16/05/2017 at 23:30
My bad. Just realised i misread you derek. Just ignore me lol

Top Gun · 16/05/2017 at 21:56
Kick them to the curb!

lok · 16/05/2017 at 19:52
no

TigerNut · 16/05/2017 at 20:03
Why trade out Barrett. He's playing

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:33
…. what was the question again?

Cogla13 · 17/05/2017 at 16:30
Barrett making money and playing. Rocky is out for a few so might get more midfield time.

NickMacMan · 16/05/2017 at 18:46
wait to see who is named first

Thomas · 16/05/2017 at 18:53
Of course, but if they were all named?

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:31
Mutineer will make cash this week and has reasonable JS plus round 12 bye

Top Gun · 16/05/2017 at 21:57
McInnes looked good last week

Thomas · 16/05/2017 at 22:00
He did but is JS an issue?

Top Gun · 17/05/2017 at 18:46
Depends on his role in the team

pod · 16/05/2017 at 17:38
2. looks good

Rivo · 17/05/2017 at 09:16
Thanks pod. Might not give me any cash but worth holding SPP for the byes IMO.

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 11:12
i think SPP has another big score in him. plays a good role with port and on his day i think we might see 100+

Rivo · 17/05/2017 at 13:43
Agreee Derek.
Another option I'm considering is where Butler is dropped..
Houston & Butler to Heeney & Myers.
To do this means I lose DPP swing moving Pickett to forward bench alongside Eddy (asleeep on the bench). It also means fielding Parsons & Balic – which make me nervous.
Then there is the decision on which bench mid to field at M8 – Barrett or Myers. Pain everywhere.

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 13:50
i've been looking at Heeney. not sure he is cheap enough, plus i've got max number of round 11 byes for now. i know he will be a great player but paying just under $500k seems alot. i know plenty of the guys at the swans academy, they all say he will be a gun, but they all say that Mills is better. i still believe that Mills will push into the midfield more and more during the year, especially when Rampe is back. Will affect Henney.

Rivo · 17/05/2017 at 13:56
Maybe so but missed him last week and won't do that again. Pretty confident he will finish Top 6 Fwd and his price will hit $550 quickly.

Brett H · 17/05/2017 at 14:23
Don't think Balic will play this week, so this may influence your trades.
Apparently Balic was not sighted at training today (and Hill & Ballantyne trained flat out).
Will be a real shame for my team if Balic doesn't play, but starting to set myself for this happening.

Rivo · 17/05/2017 at 17:32
News update suggests Indefinite personal leave – bugger!!!!

Paco · 16/05/2017 at 17:41
congrats on the rank Sassy, just had a check

INPieman · 16/05/2017 at 18:27
The third week is his bye. That needs to be taken into account. But how will he be with that shoulder coming back. Think strapped up orange hatted Gary. Would make me nervous. Personally I'd get rid of him if your ok for trades

Named · 16/05/2017 at 18:10
Speak for yourself

Saundo · 16/05/2017 at 18:14
Crouching is a legend, welcome!

lok · 16/05/2017 at 18:35
Mate.. Crouching is the analogy prince. Don't hate.

KSinny · 16/05/2017 at 18:37
I listen to the podcast for crouching one

INPieman · 16/05/2017 at 18:51
Listen harder Becks. His message is Myers is no sure thing to make you satisfied. And whilst he might be the best rookie option this week I agree with Crouching. People seem to think he will fly to 400K & make an easy upgrade. I don't thing he will get even close. I see him as cover only if I trade him in. If he has some great games that's a bonus

whatyasmokin · 16/05/2017 at 20:29
I'm getting Lloyd instead of Myers.

beezneez · 17/05/2017 at 12:11
Waiting for the bubble round 10 – anything could happen between then and now. My plan is to get Myers this week and Lloyd next week to get the players I want who have the round 11 bye and to add to my 13 playing in round 13 atm.

beezneez · 17/05/2017 at 12:13
Should have clarified the players I want having the round 11 bye to be picked up in round 12.

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:27
You made me angry

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:28
He he he he he…….. Mrs Murphy took it on the chin……. hehehehe

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 08:47
I'm still chuckling with that one…….

Tyruddanaut · 16/05/2017 at 21:53
I love crouching one and want to die listening to his voice

Moustachio · 17/05/2017 at 08:07
Sit down idiot

Luskin Star · 17/05/2017 at 14:58
There is always a message in Crouching One's advice. The fact that it is delivered in a unique way is a plus not a minus.

Sana · 16/05/2017 at 19:45
Hasn't given us much reason to trade him Saundo

Randomcliche · 16/05/2017 at 20:20
Goldy will outscore him from here…but I've got about 7 other issues to deal with.

Patrick · 16/05/2017 at 20:25
You absolutely shouldn't be trading him this week if you can cover him with Nank and bring a playing forward off your bench. If you are facing a donut then there is an argument for trading him this week but given he probably still has another $50K to make taking a donut and using him through the other 3 byes is a perfectly legit option too. My own plan is to eventually trade him to Gawn at some point before the SuperCoach finals.

whatyasmokin · 16/05/2017 at 20:30
Witts is a keeper at this stage.

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:25
If he is your R3 you should trade him. Too much cash on bench.
If he is your R2 you will have to upgrade him at some point to either of the best two ruckmen (whoever they turn out to be).

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:26
But not this week, soon though

Top Gun · 16/05/2017 at 22:01
Butler to Myers Witts to Heeney via Nank DPP bringing him to the ruck. Bang! Bang!

Russty_ · 17/05/2017 at 02:10
Witts isn't a keeper by any stretch, if there are no more pressing issues, Jacobs or Martin, are actually keepers. Martin won't go up much this week, Jacobs will by 30 grand…and is on a tear.

Danny · 16/05/2017 at 17:57
*replacement for rockliff

Jono · 16/05/2017 at 18:15
Zorko

TigerNut · 16/05/2017 at 18:30
you mad. look at Dusty or JPK. Both Contested beasts and are dirt cheap

whatyasmokin · 16/05/2017 at 20:31
Zorko has a whole two weeks without Rockliff. get Dusty, JPK, Hanners or Oliver.

pod · 16/05/2017 at 21:09
Zorko

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:22
If I had Rocky it would be straight to Pendles or JPK

redherringfc · 16/05/2017 at 19:01
If you plan to bring in both then Heeney this week and Macrae when it suits. Macrae is almost at season high price. He won't go up much and will drop a little at some point. He is Mr consistency.
as for SPP he is close to max price, sc gold predicts him to go up by 25k in round 15, he may even go further, especially after a rest this week.

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:20
Macrea is about to go massive.
He has had a few games lately where his first half has been very quiet but his second half massive. 97 and 86 last two games in second half. It will happen soon when he has two halves like that and boom!

INPieman · 16/05/2017 at 18:32
2-3 they are saying. Awkward

TOPHAWK1 · 16/05/2017 at 19:14
2-3 means 3. If he misses 2, he will miss week 3 as it it Brisbane's bye. So 3 weeks it is. Rocky has to go as that shoulder will continue to be a problem for him for the rest of the season. Mark my words.

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:17
I agree. If he is back in 3 ok, but I'd be worried he will be like Gaz and not tackle. He gets a lot of points from tackles

whatyasmokin · 16/05/2017 at 20:31
Hold if nowhere near top rank.

Danners · 16/05/2017 at 21:33
Heard rumors that he was training with Beams and are hoping that can get up this weekend somehow. Like the others are saying though, he will probably be out of at least a couple of weeks

Russty_ · 17/05/2017 at 02:05
2 to 3 could mean way more than that, no one knows how his dislocated Shoulder is going to hold up until he plays. Then if they realise he should never have played, and that playing only made it worse, he could have to go for surgery, and be out for the rest of the year.
I'd dump him regardless, could possibly be ok in 2 to 3 weeks, but more likely, won't be.
As an example, how many injuries on the injury list just keep extending, week after week until 4 or 5 weeks turns into 8 or more?

Moustachio · 17/05/2017 at 08:08
Marc Murphy was out for the season, comes back the next round

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 12:38
Popped straight back in……………he'll be back after bye.

INPieman · 16/05/2017 at 18:42
Could hold his spot for the rest of the year? Mate he's already been dropped twice! If he keeps his spot it will only take one poor performance to drop him. Horse doesn't look at Supercoach scores. We learnt that with Tom Mitchell. Keep in mind North conceded 210 to Gary, the rest of his scores have been crap by Gary standards

TigerNut · 16/05/2017 at 19:36
We all have our differences. In the top 1900 overall so I will stick with the gut. 35 touches, 11 marks, 4 tackles and a 151 score this week at an average of 93.6. Rest of his scores were 73, 105, 80, 59 then 151. Could well go up another $150k in a season where rookies are hard to find. Tom Stewart isn't a keeper and he's made cash. Newman expected to go up another $45-50k this week. Worth the risk I reckon. Horse looks at stats mate and those stats last week don't lie. Fancy listening to a Collingwood supporters advice haha

pod · 16/05/2017 at 19:50
Stats don't lie, his average is right up there with best def. and still cheap!

TigerNut · 16/05/2017 at 20:00
This game is all about trading up and trading down. Tom Stewart has to be traded at some point so there begs the question. When do you cull him? Might as well do it now for someone that will appreciate in coin and be a potential keeper. Big risk involved with Rampe to come back. But reward looks too good if he can be named each week. Thanks for your insight fellas

MichaelQLD · 16/05/2017 at 20:07
I'd get him in. Will probably make at least another $100K and could even end up being a D6/D7 keeper. Has an incredibly SC relevant game about him so still a bargain at that price especially given all our cash cow issues this season.

Jacob · 17/05/2017 at 14:55
Agree Michael. Too many coaches look at what price a guy started at rather than assessing whether the trade is a good move at this point in time. Heard the same dribble from Higgo on the podcast a few times but it's just overly rigid thinking for mine in a season which requires more creative thinking than ever before. Wouldn't surprise me if Newman averages 80-85 from here which makes him superb value at $300K.

Tyruddanaut · 16/05/2017 at 21:48
It's not just supercoach. That was a bloody gun game

Captain Risky · 16/05/2017 at 20:25
Risky, for me, I wouldn't. I've got him still and happy to hold for a while and see how he goes, but I would be trading him in. Can't see him averaging much better than 80-85. Good but not quite a keeper, and already gone up 198K, so not another 100K left I wouldn't think.
Happy to be proven wrong, and if you have lots of trades left by all means do it, but you've only got 3 premos in defence, so still a bit of work to do to get 6. I'd personally go 1 up, 1 down- stewart & Williamson out.. IN Rance, Laird, Williams, Adams etc

Captain Risky · 16/05/2017 at 20:37
Edit: missed another wouldn't in there somewhere !!

Billioux · 16/05/2017 at 20:27
Trade out rookie then re trade back in after one ridiculous score = Bye Bye. Good luck stays in top 10,000. 30 trades goes too quick for that. If u traded Newman bid farewell and move on.

TigerNut · 16/05/2017 at 20:35
his name is Nic Newman not "a rookie". He's a mature aged player, 23 years old. All my other lines are set except for the backline and it would leave him at D6. with Williamson and EVW on bench for cover.

whatyasmokin · 16/05/2017 at 20:40
He'a a mature aged 'Rookie' in the AFL, if you want to get technical.

Tyruddanaut · 16/05/2017 at 21:51
He is a rookie just a mature aged rookie. Do a fact check

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:16
You missed him mate, move on. Won't create enough cash to justify the trade. His 151 only stays in score for 2 more weeks.
Has a round 11 bye
Poor JS especially as Rampe likely to come back soon

Dogs · 16/05/2017 at 22:30
As a swans supporter, Too risky, horse doesn't look at SuperCoach scores, and if he's not happy with his defensive work Newman will be dropped again. Titch could rack up 35-40 touches and still get dropped because horse wasn't happy with his defensive efforts. I still think this week could be touch and go just from a few mistakes he made on the weekend, including giving up an easy goal. Longmire is a strange bloke.

Wedge · 16/05/2017 at 22:47
Newman is not a D6. Or D7 or D8. Everyone should consider trading him in the bye rounds. I would trade marchbank and McGrath while I'm at it

Top Gun · 16/05/2017 at 22:59
Great cash generator but definitely not a keeper

Travo · 17/05/2017 at 09:52
I would disagree with most on Newman. Watching the way he plays I can see him holding his spot at the Swans and putting up consistent 85+ scores with a few 120+. He does everything right for supercoach and will only get better.
There is always the risk that if he plays a bad game he gets dropped and horse would be hesitant to bring him back in with the like of Rampe to return.

Jeff · 16/05/2017 at 18:53
Depends on your bye structures

redherringfc · 16/05/2017 at 19:10
Hannan isn't scoring well and he might not increase in value at all. WHE has a round 13 bye and Brisbane in round 10 might see him score ok to boast his price over the following 2weeks.

Clayman · 16/05/2017 at 20:09
I'd cull Hannan. WHE could be a handy hold until his Rd13 bye given how few Rd13 forwards we have. Pies also have fairly decent draw to their bye too so you should get some reasonable scoring out of him.

NickMacMan · 16/05/2017 at 19:44
probs myers and would be ideal to get adams before the bye and doc after his.
if you had to chose one though id go doc

SF4 · 17/05/2017 at 12:49
Myers the better option.
Durdin hasn't got good JS

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:11
What usually happens when a player has a period of great scoring? What happens after that……. usually, almost every time?
Does he:
A) continue knocking out massive scores
Or
B) opposition coaches realise the danger and put a close tag on them, this gives them a crap SC score and there are a number of young supercoachers screaming how unfair this game is?

Dildor · 17/05/2017 at 08:14
Did you watch the game? They tried to tag him. The same levi greenwood that killed selwood had no impact on kelly, he's a very versatile player that is damaging everywhere. Hard man to tag.

Danners · 16/05/2017 at 21:31
He could sustain his average, but I can't see him getting any higher. I wouldn't be going out of my to get him in though

Alec · 17/05/2017 at 15:02
The problem with the GWS midfield and in fact their side in general is that they are so even across the board, more so than either team in the AFL. This is their great strength as they can just wear down other teams with the sheer number of quality players they can throw at you. But from a fantasy perspective it's their big negative. So many of their midfielders have purple patches and then drop away and another one of their guys step up instead. So Ward is down right now but he will likely have his purple patch at some point as will Shiel and then perhaps Kelly will drop away. So I'd rather get on the value Swan mid premos like a JPK or Parker myself.

INPieman · 16/05/2017 at 19:35
That's actually an excellent question. It probably will IMO

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:07
Berry will use his super powers

Zach · 16/05/2017 at 19:58
I'd expect the impact to be negligible. I tend to think these things often get overstated. Wasn't the banning of the 3rd man up this season going to put a handbrake on Bont's scoring?? And wasn't Gawn out going to limit Oliver's scoring?? Well the dude just posted his highest score of the season with a 142! So stop over thinking things would be my advice.

Patrick · 16/05/2017 at 20:14
Also when Rocky missed 6 games in 2015 Stef still averaged 110 in that season. And even if it does adversely impact on Stef's scoring this time around (which I doubt ) Rocky will probably only miss a week or 2 anyway.

INPieman · 16/05/2017 at 20:22
If the lions don't have Beams & Rocky this week Zach they really only have Zorko as a gun mid. They are playing the Crows who will be out for revenge BIG TIME. And Mitch Robinson won't be there to keep Rory Sloane company. So start thinking is my advice. Sauce is also having a decent season. So Stef may not have his best week

Geoff · 16/05/2017 at 20:57
Well there was no Robinson to tag Titch either, Beams didn't play and the Lions were crushed and Stef still scored huge so not sure you're on the money with this one mate.

Thomas · 18/05/2017 at 11:55
But Rocky played geoff. Pieman is saying that without, Beams, Rocky and Robinson, he will struggle. Means Zorko is the only good mid they have

Tyruddanaut · 16/05/2017 at 21:47
What about no ruckman at all for Oliver. Wasn't that going to affect

Geoff · 16/05/2017 at 22:15
That's one of Patrick's points. Just cognitive bias at play when you boil things down. Perhaps INPieman was considering trading in Martin but doesn't want to do it so is looking for excuses why he shouldn't. It's so easy to rationalise things in SuperCoach to give us the answer we want to hear even if in the end we are only fooling ourselves.

Carter · 16/05/2017 at 22:22
Sorry I meant one of Zach's points.

Luskin Star · 17/05/2017 at 15:24
Wiser words have never been written. Wish I had a dollar for every time I reasoned something out and came to the concusion that i wanted but not the right one.

whatyasmokin · 16/05/2017 at 20:40
Spot on Zach.

Top Gun · 16/05/2017 at 23:00
It won't matter Brisbane will still be shit!

redherringfc · 16/05/2017 at 19:57
My suggestions on a quick glance, without looking into your bye structure, you need to get Adams into your backline (Otten out, Myers in this week) and Macrae into your forward line (butler out, best mid in). Then focus on filling your mids with top premos.

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:06
Eddy to Myers via Mcrea

Russty_ · 17/05/2017 at 01:56
Sounds like a drunken incident…lol, not something that would happen if you were sober, glad he's "cherry ripe" to go.

Austin · 17/05/2017 at 09:16
Another very dodgy explanation. I guess we'll find out who he punched out later in the week. 🙂

Filthy Phil · 17/05/2017 at 16:52
I don't know why guys just don't stick to the familiar "slipped in the shower" line which at least has some chance of being believed. When they try to get too overly creative with their explanation like De Goey and Howe you can smell BS a mile away.

Whitey · 17/05/2017 at 09:23
Not a Bomber fan but completely different character you fools.

Junior Murray · 17/05/2017 at 12:42
typical from a pies supporter

Terry · 16/05/2017 at 20:25
He plays for magpies

Curious George · 16/05/2017 at 20:29
Does he? Plays but plays badly.
The rubbish he has been dishing up recently vaguely represents football.

Liam · 16/05/2017 at 20:33
Pondering putting the C on him this week.

Captain Risky · 16/05/2017 at 20:51
For your sake I hope your VC goes really well ..

whatyasmokin · 16/05/2017 at 20:33
News is he got traded out of a lot of sides last week.

INPieman · 16/05/2017 at 20:49
Treloar has been training this week. I assume he plays

Russty_ · 17/05/2017 at 01:55
Not for my side lol, he was turfed for a Yo- Yo last week.

SF4 · 17/05/2017 at 12:47
Should be back in as he has been training during the week.
With Varcoe and Reid out I would expect they want to get some talent back into the side.

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 13:57
So getting talent back in the side counts out Treloar………jokes.

wightyswarriors · 17/05/2017 at 14:45
For those bagging Treloar……one word…Hannebery

Luskin Star · 17/05/2017 at 15:27
Let em bag him all they like. Increases the chances of the supercoach gods smacking them in the face with a 150 from Treloar

Thomas · 18/05/2017 at 11:57
Im very much looking forward to the karma train smacking them all in the face when he pumps out a 130+ score.

whatyasmokin · 16/05/2017 at 20:34
Did you want Zorko in your team if Rocky was there? If not, then forget about him.

Carter · 16/05/2017 at 21:01
Rocky is only going to miss a few weeks more than likely. If you are getting Zorko in it should be a season long decision and how he goes during August during the SuperCoach finals not what happens in May.

pod · 16/05/2017 at 21:06
I can't see why not, he is a gun and ready to step up.

Russty_ · 17/05/2017 at 02:16
Zorko's been a solid choice for the last 3 years or so.

Moustachio · 17/05/2017 at 08:15
As a fwd

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:03
I still think it's too early to say if Heeney is top 6 forward

Danners · 16/05/2017 at 21:29
Listen to the podcast, SPP will come in handy over the byes

Mike · 16/05/2017 at 22:22
So doesn't matter if we miss the boat on Myers, any other good rookie mids coming up? Was just looking to build a bank up this week

Rolfey · 16/05/2017 at 21:54
I like it

Rivo · 17/05/2017 at 09:19
Try holding SPP. Can you get Myers in another way?

pod · 17/05/2017 at 13:26
Agree with Rivo

SF4 · 17/05/2017 at 12:43
Myers is pretty important due to the lack of rookies we have. Has good JS so it think we need to get him in.
Im looking to bring in Heeney for Butler this week but it doesn't go well with my bye structure, not many other options in the fwd line which is the main issue.

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 13:02
What about Waite?

lok · 17/05/2017 at 13:43
god no… not waite.

Mike · 17/05/2017 at 15:29
Not going for overall ranking just league wins and I'm predicted to win 2 out of 3 with those trades done, so thinking they look pretty good in the end!

hedski · 17/05/2017 at 17:19
I was predicted to get 2260 a couple of weeks ago Mike…1854

Mike · 18/05/2017 at 20:30
The guy I'm versing obviously gave up after the first round as he only score 1400 odd each week… I think I've got him covered aha. But I know what you mean about not relying on score predictions

pod · 16/05/2017 at 19:54
You're full premo mid, save trades in this area might be carnage ahead

SF4 · 17/05/2017 at 12:42
Unless you have an injury, I would leave your midfield as is.

Luskin Star · 17/05/2017 at 15:29
You have rolled the dice and gone without danger. Nothing wrong with your mids. Stick to your guns.

Travo · 17/05/2017 at 15:57
I would hold. If you really want to bring in Danger I would be dropping Sloane.

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 16:16
Hold Kelly bit longer, has some cash to gain

Hawks · 16/05/2017 at 21:00
1 – Adams a must have.

Jordan · 17/05/2017 at 19:49
Disagree Adams never played over 18 games a season… as a PIES supporter he's in doubt this weekends after a knock to the ribs in training yesterday

MickyB · 17/05/2017 at 16:17
Option 2

Northernsoul74 · 16/05/2017 at 21:14
Yes, I've got Balic on my mid bench so will swing him forward.

Nunny · 16/05/2017 at 21:18
But Butler isn't mid?

Northernsoul74 · 16/05/2017 at 21:21
You're trading Butler out. If you've got a dpp on your mid bench trade Butler out, swing themid dpp forward and trade Myers into the space in the mid.

Russty_ · 17/05/2017 at 01:52
Aka….Supercoach 101, well done for your patience.

Moosehead · 17/05/2017 at 13:43
I traded out two forwards and got two mids utilising two mid dpp in Balic and Florent. No mid/fwds on my mid bench now but hopefully will get away with it for a couple of weeks.

Pod · 16/05/2017 at 21:23
Been over 100*

Derek · 16/05/2017 at 21:47
He's pretty good. Classic case of Lone Wolf. Back to his best. Had an easy run though

Top Gun · 16/05/2017 at 22:13
They are looking for him at Jurassic Park. 🙂

Rivo · 17/05/2017 at 09:21
Possible trade target after the byes when Sandi might be worn out.

Geoff Carter · 16/05/2017 at 22:27
All the way with JPK for mine. Swans look to be finally getting their sh1t together. Oliver is likely to be a good option too but at least we know JPK has gone 110+ for several seasons.

Russty_ · 17/05/2017 at 01:51
JPK is a proven gun, especially in the latter half of seasons, Oliver is an unknown quantity at the moment as far as finishing a season goes. I brought him in 3 weeks ago cause I believe he's a gun and could be anything, had JPk from the start too so there was some pain there leading up to this week.
I guess you need to choose from a solid proven gun, who can go big, and a young gun prodigy who could go really big, or not, if he runs out of juice. It's a tough one if you're choosing, best to get both if you can 🙂

lok · 17/05/2017 at 01:54
JPK 100%.. Watch this bloke dish out a 157 this week and everyone will bring him in.

Luskin Star · 17/05/2017 at 15:31
2018 I say Oliver. 2017 JPK

Russty_ · 17/05/2017 at 02:14
Yeah if you only have $423500 to spend, I guess, until he injures his leg again.

Tyruddanaut · 17/05/2017 at 07:01
That completely matters on team selection. I doubt both of them will be kept in

Top Gun · 16/05/2017 at 22:14
Depends on yr bye structure. I have four swans.

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 10:30
Not good

SF4 · 17/05/2017 at 12:38
yeah, it's no good.

frogger · 17/05/2017 at 14:13
Not great, Mullett (test), Sam Wright (2-4 wks) both to come back in soon, I think.

frogger · 17/05/2017 at 14:16
Wait and see if Lloyd retains his spot. Greene is back this week, but with GWS' injuries, there is a chance Lloyd stays, I guess.
Who would be your alternative to Laird if you went Myers?

Russty_ · 17/05/2017 at 01:44
Not a Tigers fan but I know what you mean, Tigers decision makers seem hell bent on sabotaging themselves, best decision they've made recently is getting rid of Tyrone Shittery.

Dildor · 17/05/2017 at 08:08
Prestia plays the same role as miles, both in the same team is hard to fit. Lennon has had tremendous troulble converting it at the afl level, he has had plenty of chances. He also neglects to run and put on any defensive pressure, he's the liam mcbean of our smalls. Vfl and afl are worlds apart.
Lloyd is interesting, doesnt have the raw pase and pressure of the trio at this stage but is a good mark and goalkick, expect him to come in for butler this week. I think you can also expect one of the blokes you mentioned to make way for shia bolton pretty soon.

Rivo · 17/05/2017 at 09:28
Have to agree here TigerNut. Miles should be holding his spot in the best 22. Lloyd & Lennon play half Fwd roles that seem to compete with Butler, Rollo, Castagna & Edwards. Staggering that Miles missed out last week. Biggest issue is the lack of a a key CHF. Elton not up to it, Griffith looks gone and Chol a long way off. That said, I would definitely look at Miles, Lloyd & Lennon this week – on the proviso that Butler holds his spot for my SC team.

Russty_ · 17/05/2017 at 01:46
I know he's going well, for now, but for me, his history of leg injuries is too risky to consider, I don't believe he's a keeper.

Tyruddanaut · 17/05/2017 at 06:59
Danger excels against good teams

Travo · 17/05/2017 at 09:57
As does Bont, take your pick.

Terry · 17/05/2017 at 11:09
I'd go Bont. Cats are in a slump and who knows when they will snap out of this funk. Both Danger and Jelwood are carrying niggles too. Until they can show me they can produce the goods again I'm not burning VC/Cs on them if it looks like I have better prospects elsewhere.

James · 17/05/2017 at 11:44
Yep they were meant to right the ship last weekend against the Dons but only looked even worse on the weekend for the first 3qtrs and then the Dons began to fade which perhaps made them look better than they actually were. At least they are playing at home in the opening game of the round so placing the VC on either Danger or Selwood is not as bad as relying on them for a C score. I was feeling pretty nauseous at 3qtr time with the C on Danger last Saturday but thankfully he had a huge last quarter to get me a respectable C score.

Finnius123 · 17/05/2017 at 12:33
I'm going to go a smokey for VC this week. Tex Walker is playing against Brisbane, and I reckon he can do a Buddy and go absolutely huge against them. Means I miss out on Bont, Danger, Jelwood, Macrae, Dahl and co., but I reckon it is worth the risk – especially with Zerrett with the C on sunday

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 12:40
Like it.

Top Gun · 17/05/2017 at 18:53
Smoky here too but going to try Swannies Kennedy. Could be coming into a purple patch.

Leeds17 · 17/05/2017 at 19:02
If you have Goldy he plays Melbourne this week will hit 130+

pod · 17/05/2017 at 08:55
You really need to bring in some mids.

Finnius123 · 17/05/2017 at 08:53
High ceiling but inconsistent – at least you know what you are buying. Can definitely handle a tag (best player at avoiding tackles in the game) – just in and out of matches, which can be frustrating for an owner

pod · 17/05/2017 at 08:54
I think he's a gun and a bargain.

Rivo · 17/05/2017 at 09:31
Bargain price, super player and high ceiling. Definitely considering Dusty for next week or after the byes.

Captain Risky · 17/05/2017 at 09:59
Next week bringing him in. Suits my byes, good value ATM, goes huge every so often. Overdue for a big one, hopefully next week!

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 10:26
He's definitely suffering from the groin injury. And it's impacting. I'll have another look at him this week

Merv · 17/05/2017 at 11:49
And playing at GWS this week too who usually put the clamps on their opposition fantasy scoring as we saw with Pendles and the Pies last week. So I'd be holding off this week at least and if he can ton up again only then consider jumping on board as the Tiges draw begins to open up with the Bombers and Kangas up next.

Rick · 17/05/2017 at 13:04
Hasn't scored well since that injury a few weeks ago. Might be playing hurt.

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 11:06
no Cyril 🙁

bob the builder · 17/05/2017 at 09:19
He's just a bit of a fringe player been hard for him to cement a spot but always around the mark. I really like what he brings but there are many other playrrs fighting for the same spot. Questionable JS

Northernsoul74 · 17/05/2017 at 09:29
Very highly rated and too good for vfl but it's a tough team to break into. Also a few coming back from injury to slot in. I prefer him as a half back as he's got a lovely kick on him but they've been developing his inside mid game. The dogs do need to get games into him though otherwise he'll likely leave end of season. Hawks really like him.

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 11:06
thanks. probably a bit expensive, but if he knocks out another 75-80sc this week he might be worth having a look at next week… maybe.

Northernsoul74 · 17/05/2017 at 12:33
Things might be a bit clearer when teams are released. If the rumours about M Moyd are to be believed I suspect the he Dogs have decided to give Williams, Webb, and Dale a fair crack at it.

neil demons delight · 17/05/2017 at 12:32
Seen a bit of this kid if you had to compare him it would be to newman beautifull long lefty trying to get more mid time but too many similar types jong mclean wallis Williams very hard for the kid

Northernsoul74 · 17/05/2017 at 12:59
That left boot is why I still see him as a half back which is what he played when drafted. Reckon the club has concerns that he doesn't have enough speed to play off the backline. I'd prefer him over Suckling but who am I to argue with Bevo.

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 12:49
Don't think he will get a decent run Derek.
Murphy, Morris, Dickson, Wallis, Cloke, Roughead all possible ins this week.

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 13:01
Thanks. Didn't even notice him but just caught my eye as I was looking over the weekend scores

bob the builder · 17/05/2017 at 10:20
Depends on how your structure looks Greg,
If your forward line is weak i would trade Butler and snap up a fwd.
on the other hand if mids is weak JPK is a great option

Greg · 17/05/2017 at 10:38
Current mids: Bontempelli, Rockliff, Dangerfield, Fyfe, Pendlebury, Hannebery, SPP, Barrett / Myers
Current fwds: Dahlhaus, Macrae, Franklin, Nankervis, Butler, Balic / Parsons

neil demons delight · 17/05/2017 at 12:25
JPK looks the best choice but both lines need help Roo could be one that comes with a rush don't think Heeney is as good as MIlls though

Jack · 17/05/2017 at 09:18
Only 19k

LoganJosh7 · 17/05/2017 at 11:02
get rid of hampton for one. if possible. but you really could just hold your trades. maybe try and make some cash?

Randomcliche · 17/05/2017 at 13:32
Rnd 11 bye issues? Myers in whe out.Hampton up perhaps Llyod (syd). But check your bye structure. Rnd 13 ruck?

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 11:15
Harbrow is a tough one. His 10 previous seasons suggest he's a rubbish pick. But he seems to be playing & scoring well. Huge risk

Moosehead · 17/05/2017 at 12:03
I wrote an comparison with three defenders two weeks ago. He did well again in China and his price went up again. I am getting him after this week along with another 10,000 SCers. Mark my words.

James · 17/05/2017 at 12:11
You don't fluke 5 tons out of 6 games so he's obviously in form and playing that juicy rebounding defender role that all teams need. Could be a decent option next week but considering that Rance and Shaw are similarly priced to Harbrow and Hibberd is even cheaper it would still be a risky play to bring in Harbrow who is averaging nearly 25ppg more than he did last season. Of course sometimes it can just click for certain players and they have a breakout season as Yeo appears to be doing so far in 2017.

pod · 17/05/2017 at 12:25
Rance this week, Harbrow after his bye.

Randomcliche · 17/05/2017 at 13:35
Bought last week bc I can cover this week and enjoy the bye round flexibility.

TheScacman · 17/05/2017 at 10:55
Otten will bleed a little cash but Butler is really average at the moment, also definitely will not be scoring as highly. Butler out

LoganJosh7 · 17/05/2017 at 11:01
wait on selection – but i have to make the same choice so will probs go with butler.

frogger · 17/05/2017 at 14:10
Would say Butler. Think that there is a chance he won't be selected, though, to be honest.

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 11:12
I agree with you there Rick. Otten & Hampton types may have to be moved down the priority list. I have Eddy Pasrons & Balic in my Fwd line. Nervous

Captain Risky · 17/05/2017 at 13:28
A trifecta of duds. Only need Hannan for the quaddie

Brett H · 17/05/2017 at 15:08
INPieman – g'day.
As I stated above, I don't think Balic will play this week as he wasn't seen at training today (whereas Hill and Ballantyne were going flat out).
This "one week in one week out" for Balic has me thinking his issue is more than "illness" (but I hope I am wrong)!!

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 15:18
I read not long again Brett that Balic was no where to be seen at training today. I'm guessing he will be no where to be seen at selections. It's starting to smell like a bad week

James · 17/05/2017 at 11:57
Myers is a must trade in for most coaches so it's just a question of who goes which team sheets could dictate for some. If you don't have a midfield perma-donut like Pickett or Mountford type then it's probably time for SPP to go. Some may even consider going early on another bomber in Stewart if they are faced with a forward donut this week.

neil demons delight · 17/05/2017 at 12:17
Stewart looks ok

Travo · 17/05/2017 at 11:27
He's not. Considered top 6 based on previous seasons. Time will tell if Zac Williams and age has impacted his scoring capacity.

pod · 17/05/2017 at 12:42
Nail on the head Travo. Zac Williams looks better, showing it now & probably will all season.

James · 17/05/2017 at 12:00
He sure doesn't look like a player who will burn you for NOT picking him right now given his timeshare role with Williams. Until he can go back to back hefty tons I wouldn't worry about him especially as most of our defences are already clogged up with round 13 bye players as it is.

neil demons delight · 17/05/2017 at 12:15
he's not and take his 200 out last year barely makes it plenty better adams hurley simmo

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 12:42
Yep his average last year was propped up by freak games. Glad I didn't get him at the moment.

pod · 17/05/2017 at 12:22
Adams dpp for byes

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 12:17
I don't think you can get to full premo with all the blokes you want. Think you need to pick off value & compromise on some. If you pick off blokes at 600 youll regret it later

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 12:29
to make matters worse this year has been the huge number of non-playing rookies on people's benches. In years gone by it was unusual to have more than 1 or two (used as loopholes). last week i had 6 and the week before that it was 8. seriously, how are we to generate cash?
i got rid of Smith, Parfitt and Eddy long ago, but i still see people holding them
as we upgrade to keepers, we have less rookies making cash.
i feel like i'm on welfare and food stamps but still trying to buy $600k premiums. sooner or later something has to give.
I've brought in 4 keepers in the last 3 weeks, but haven't paid over $500k for any of them.
Simmo $492k, Buddy, $464k, Shaw $490k and Rance $471k.
Now i would have loved to get Docherty, but unless he gets cheaper i will have to do without.

Brandon · 17/05/2017 at 12:49
That's why many were advocating more of a midpriced strategy in the preseason. Many of those who went with a traditional guns and rookies setup with a bunch of onfield rookies have really paid a price this season. Strnadica is my only non playing rookie right now so will be looking to move on SPP for myers this week. I may not need to even upgrade Oliver, Murphy, Witts, Steele or Jones who I started with this season.

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 12:58
Massive win picking those blokes Brandon. I went a combo of Guns mid pricers & rookies. I agree if you went straight guns & rookies your season is well & truly over

DEE · 17/05/2017 at 13:25
I always go against the herd an go for a few pods.
Started sandiwitts with nank fwd.
Started macrae over Dahl and Lloyd and Jones in Def.
Most worked out though regretting trading murphy to Ablett. Time will tell I guess on that one.
Will have 17 trades left with the following team. will upgrade Butler to dahl after his bye, Marchbank to laird and WHE to yeo maybe during the byes. Will see how Newman goes in the next little bit.
But think unless disaster strikes will get to full premo this year.
Adams, Rance, Lloyd, Jones, marchbank, Newman. (Stewart, hibberd)
Sloane, Bont, Ablett, Zorko, JPK, Fyfe, Pendlebury, Kelly. (Balic, Myers, Fisher)
Sandi, witts. (Cameron)
Macrae, Buddy, Nank, Steel, WHE, Butler. (Parsons, Hannan)

Randomcliche · 17/05/2017 at 14:02
Nice work Dee. I started higgins Steele Howe Armitage…wasn't my season….but will still hit 22 keepers by rnd 12 including the likes of rough and Hodge who I started but will be cycled during the byes.

Brandon · 17/05/2017 at 13:52
To be fair I had a few midpricers who failed too like JOM and Beams who I traded out for minimal gain. But at least it meant I didn't have too many of those spud rookies that have been giving coaches far more headaches than most of the midpricers have in comparison.

Brandon · 17/05/2017 at 13:56
In fact I believe I only had two rookies onfield to start the season in Hampton and Witts, who both were really more midpricers in terms of years in the system, just at super cheap rookieish pricers. Same with Otten on the bench.

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 16:12
My 3 midpricers were Sandi, Mills and Cyril. Rest GnR. My rank has many zeros.

neil demons delight · 17/05/2017 at 13:40
4 excellent pickups allows you to pick up a more expensive player later .Your 509 limit will now look better and there are still bargains to be had. In any other year would only go Rance maybe Buddy

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 13:58
i will probably get Ryder next week. has a BE of 37 and is $493k. only other Keeper i would consider who is under $500k, again not my first choice, but this year you have to make compromises

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 14:00
Better choice than Heeney I reckon.

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 14:03
i miss Lobbe

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 18:07
lol

Hawks · 17/05/2017 at 12:17
I would look to trade out Butler, switch Balic to the forward line, and get Josh Kennedy (Syd) in to the mids, and place Barrett on the bench.

SF4 · 17/05/2017 at 12:59
He will be a top 5 ruck for sure.
Grundy, Stef, Goldy, Mummy and Jacobs or even Nank.

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 14:01
There's no guarantee of anything this year in the rucks.

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 13:01
Witts, Sandi, Kreuzer, Ryder, McEvoy, Martin, Nank, Jacobs, Mumford are all above Grundy.

moosehead · 17/05/2017 at 13:37
And Sandilands who keeps getting better!

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 14:06
I said Sandi 😉

pod · 17/05/2017 at 13:30
Hold SPP dump Stewart

Randomcliche · 17/05/2017 at 14:06
Other trade should be Myers. Stewart if dpp availablr.

Touk tuk · 17/05/2017 at 13:42
Pies will come good mate

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 14:14
Buckley has been saying that for 6 years Touk Tuk

Touk tuk · 17/05/2017 at 14:31
Pies can only go up from here 🙂

neil Demons Delight · 17/05/2017 at 14:40
seriously pies who would replace him I KNOW WHO I WOULD HAVE without doubt PAUL ROOS. But the pies will probably go for Mr Bean

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 15:20
I'd be happy with Paul Roos. But he'd walk in the joint & say "pass me the cheque book, & I want a succession plan". The last succession plan was a disaster

Tibor · 17/05/2017 at 15:52
Oh you mean the Malthouse one, Roos to Goodwin seemed alrighty

neil Demons Delight · 17/05/2017 at 16:41
scotty burns would be a great successor and a Collingwood man

Chopsticks · 17/05/2017 at 15:45
I heard Bartlett on SEN radio this morning – unlikely to play! 🙂

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 16:09
Was that Kevin?

hedski · 17/05/2017 at 17:23
Kicks to handball ratio is magnificent tho..

frogger · 17/05/2017 at 14:06
You can leave Stewart on bench and put E on him on Friday.
If he scores well enough, you can then put Hibberd on field (assuming here Hibberd is not in selected side) after that game and before Swans early Saturday game and take Stewart score as the E.
If not, you can swing Newman onto the field before his early Saturday game and then take whatever he scores in preference.
Is that what you meant?

Randomcliche · 17/05/2017 at 14:12
Geelong Stewart (e); dummy loophole player (hibb jnr) on field; check score sat morning rotate hibb jnr and Newman if Stewart scores sub circa 55 points. Cheers

bigbadbrad · 17/05/2017 at 14:40
Probably a moot point Julianne. Even if Stewart scores 75 which is pretty unlikely, given it would be a career high, are you really going to leave Newman off your field after he just scored 150+?! So just whack the E on Stewart and use him as a true emergency unless somehow he cranks out a ton which is pie in the sky stuff. That's even assuming Stewart doesn't get sent back to the VFL after the Cats put in another shocker last weekend so surely the axe will fall on the fringe players.

Julianne · 17/05/2017 at 15:46
Hmmmmm. Probably right.

Julianne · 17/05/2017 at 14:45
Thank you so much frogger and Randomcliche

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 14:02
Ryder over Heeney. (next week)

Stinga · 17/05/2017 at 14:08
Why's that? I got in Heeney this week

Finnius123 · 17/05/2017 at 14:36
Ryder DPP for nank and will play through all of the byes – just hold off a week and do it next because ryder currently has a bye

Stinga · 17/05/2017 at 15:43
Would you not rather heeney over Ryder though?

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 16:10
No

Stinga · 17/05/2017 at 17:36
What about Heeney in Fwdline and ryder in the rucks? I can pick him up next week

Stinga · 17/05/2017 at 17:50
Would Kennedy be a better inclusion?

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 18:07
Not a bad idea if you're convinced with Heeney. Walters is a cheaper option available this week. Risk it for the biscuit.

Randomcliche · 17/05/2017 at 14:16
Rankings and click sort by round score. Mobile rankings then drop down box for rnd 8 scores.

Cheers

Mason · 17/05/2017 at 16:33
Surely you can just check your round rank on your home page which will give you a fairly good idea how good your round was. It's not rocket science mate.

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 18:05
I didn't want a 'fairly good idea'
If you have no input on the matter except to be a twat go away.

Lazza · 17/05/2017 at 20:05
And here we were thinking you knew your way around SC … no cred mate ..

Fred · 17/05/2017 at 14:22
Good chance that parsons gets dropped too along with Hannan, with Black unlikely to get a recall, and most coaches are still carrying Eddy at F8. So the prospect of donuts in the front half are massive especially for coaches who are also dealing with a round 9 bye forward like Lynch, Wingard, Miller or even Witts and Ryder in the ruck and were planning to use the Nank as cover.

Captain Risky · 17/05/2017 at 14:32
I might have to cop a donut, unless Butler plays.. Feels almost the same the way they have been scoring I guess.
I need Nank in the ruck to cover Witts.

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 14:34
Agree Fred. I have Eddy Balic Parsons & also Preuss at R3 with Witts. Sure many are facing similar issues. Donut city on the horizon. I don't want to bring Durdin in

Fred · 17/05/2017 at 14:44
Not sure I'd go a week early on Stewart from the Bombers either. We all saw what happened when those trigger happy coaches went early on another forward who scored well in their first game in Black. You just end up chasing your own tail and burning through your trades for little progress. It's been the season from hell in that regard.

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 14:55
Hannan was the classic example of that. Scored 96, heaps got on board & he has been poor ever since. I'd go McInnes over Stewart if it comes to it

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 14:57
Oh crap …
Same as you INP. Eddy, Balic, Parsons. Nank supposed to swing in ruck to cover Witts.
This may require some left of centre thinking.

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 17:41
way left

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 16:07
I was afraid of that. Parsons will have to get dropped, I've got Simpkin down as well …………….. Pickett will save the day!

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 16:11
He's due. Best of luck.

bigbradbrad · 17/05/2017 at 16:18
Oh goody gumdrops another Pickett 30. That'll save the day for sure!

Eric · 17/05/2017 at 16:28
Derek was being sarcastic bud or at least I hope so haha.

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 16:46
Dripping with it …

Greg · 17/05/2017 at 16:53
Indefinite leave from club

hedski · 17/05/2017 at 17:26
Balic?

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 17:34
Yep Hedski. He's gone

Filthy Phil · 17/05/2017 at 17:53
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finnius123 · 17/05/2017 at 14:52
That is so incredibly stupid. Do not do that. Please.

bigbadbrad · 17/05/2017 at 15:12
Let me guess you were of those guys who jumped on the bandwagon and paid max dollars for him?? Well you've made your bed now so you have to lie in it or you will burn through your trades purely trying to avoid a temporary cash loss situation on an ultra premo. That's why you need to buy low and sell high in the first place or you end up considering these sort of jackass moves when the bubble bursts as they usually do.
I can't stand these jokers who post "I have $700k and can get any midfielder I like so who should I get" and then end up paying max dollars for an overly inflated Dusty or Sloane. This season you need to make each precious dollar stretch as far as possible and pluck out bargains being fallen premos who have bottomed out not spending huge dollars on some flavour of the month guy who is currently riding the crest of their wave.

Jimmy · 17/05/2017 at 17:04
I jumped on Sloane as a point of difference. I loved the fact that not only did he get disposals, he kicked goals and he tackles!! Unfortunately though it seems he is susceptible to a tag. Crows have fallen apart when he has been tagged. Every team will be following this formula hence he will be tagged every game until seasons end. I am afraid this will destroy his scoring and as a result it would be best getting rid of him now before he drops dramatically

Goat · 17/05/2017 at 19:44
The status quo is not the rest of the season. I have him and barring injury will have him in Rs 23 if my team is still laying. Quality. He will sort it or Pyke will.

Ryan · 17/05/2017 at 15:35
I'm also considering offloading him too for Neale who is flying right now. Opposition have finally worked out the Crows kryptonite, although surely it was hardly a secret to begin with. Just tag their superstar to death and watch the rest of their inexperienced midfield fall in a heap. Sloane will again find more room to move in a phone booth than he will he against the Lions this week even with Mitch Robinson out of the side. Just can't afford from him to leak more cash with byes on us now.

Rooster XXX · 17/05/2017 at 15:47
Wow!
Can you please explain your logic around the comment – "just can't afford him to leak more case with byes on us now."
Why is Rory Sloane price relevant when he should be a keeper in your side? All players have down games – just so happens Sloane has had a couple in a row – why the knee jerk I have to trade him? Be good when you trade out Sloane for Neale and Sloane goes on another run of 120+ scores and Neale stinks it up…..
Sloane losing value is irrelevant as he should be remaining in your side unless injured. Ask yourself this are you really that confident that from this point on that Neale will outscore Sloane for the rest of the season? I would argue there is every chance he won't and even if he does it won't be by enough to justify wasting a trade that could be used to upgrade a rookie and/or cover for inevitable injuries and resting of players come the pointy end of the season,
Seriously you people must have bigger problems in your team than Rory Sloane and the fact he has a high BE at the moment.
Wake up to yourselves!!!

Mason · 17/05/2017 at 16:01
Easy to say mate when you don't have a pretender like Sloane in your side when you paid top dollar for the prick. He tricked all of us into thinking he'd be a top 8 scorer this season but now that the cursed tagger is back in vogue he will struggle to average 80 from here i'd say especially after everyone has now seen how effective a tactic it has been against the Crows over the past fortnight.

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 16:10
He'll struggle to average 80 from here on? Lol Sloane will be back he's a champ.

Notorious mac · 17/05/2017 at 17:48
Well thats your fault for paying top dollar and chasing points. You should be mad at yourself not Sloane. Rookie

Jimmy · 17/05/2017 at 17:12
The high breakeven doesn't worry me. It's the fear of him averaging 80 from this point

Babo · 17/05/2017 at 16:13
Yep. Trade him.
Better for all us.

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 16:15
Don't trade premos Jimmy unless one of their legs fall off.

lazza · 17/05/2017 at 16:35
Soane has reached his max… which is pretty good.
Every team in contention will tag Sloane.
Sloane is a class act but he will NOT maintain his current average… he will still remain a premo option ..
If you have him .. do you trade him out .. the answer is NO…
the real question is … if you don't have him ..do you wait and trade him in when his price drops .. the answer is NO.
So , if you have him then hold, if you don't, then forget him..

Rodney · 17/05/2017 at 16:40
Spot on lazza. He won't be a top 10 mid now that the secret is out, so at least that's one less upgrade target we have to worry about. That's why I never pay overs for some guy killing it as opposition attention invariably comes their way. Same thing will happen to all those who are getting sucked into Yeo the last few weeks – mark my words!

Jimmy · 17/05/2017 at 15:10
Rockliff aint playing the next two to three weeks with a shoulder

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 15:24
Another angry Tigers fan. Burn your membership in the microwave instead of your trades

kevdup · 18/05/2017 at 07:30
LOL – a tigers fan called Crows

Rooster XXX · 17/05/2017 at 15:54
There goes two trades for no good use… Seriously people these trades aren't confetti that can just be thrown around willy nilly…
Need to be using trades to make genuine improvements to your team eg upgrading and downgrading of rookies etc…
So much proposed sideways trading of premos that are just wasting trades and not providing your team with measurable and tangible improvements….
Will be hard enough as it is getting to full premo, covering injuries and inevitable late season carnage of resting of players without wasting trades via sideways trading of fit and healthy premo players.

W_Carey · 17/05/2017 at 16:00
do it

bigbradbad · 17/05/2017 at 16:06
I used to wonder why I would soar in the rankings in the 2nd half of the season each year. It's not such a mystery now after reading so many lamebrain trade ideas here.

Russty_ · 17/05/2017 at 16:07
Surely, you jest? Rockliff in?…right!

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 16:08
Cotchin scored an 89 lol you're an idiot.

bigbadbrad · 17/05/2017 at 15:25
Well you'd think Pykey will swing the axe this week which could spell bad news for those coaches still holding the likes of Hampton and Otten. He copped plenty of criticism from Crows supporters last week for barely making any changes, other than a couple of injury forced moves, after they got rolled by the Kangas. So you can bet your @rse there will be some omissions this week after getting humiliated at home by the Dees which should mean a look in for some of their SANFL players like Wigg.

Travo · 18/05/2017 at 08:29
I've been waiting to see Wigg named. I think he's going to be a gun!

Cogla13 · 18/05/2017 at 08:51
Greenwood was promoted off the rookie list last week. I think he will come in before Wigg.

bigbadbrad · 17/05/2017 at 15:28
JPK for pure value who appears to have turned the corner, if you can handle his round 11 bye. Bit of a question mark on Pendles right now so wouldn't be trading him at the moment particularly as it looks like he still has more cash to bleed so will be even cheaper in another week or two.

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 15:46
Have them both Mate.
If I was keeping one it would certainly be JPK.

Rooster XXX · 17/05/2017 at 15:55
Surely you would be keeping them both Juzzy?!?!?!?

Ken · 17/05/2017 at 16:12
Thanks lads!

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 16:48
Yeah Mate.
Just saying if I was to bring one in right now it would be JPK.
No trading premos.

Ken · 17/05/2017 at 18:39
Yeah, as an upgrade target Juzzy

JoeD · 17/05/2017 at 15:42
Have you had a look out the window lately? It's a barren rookie wasteland out there and the byes are coming! So most coaches need to either patch up perma-donuts on their bench in a hurry or scrape together some cash to upgrade some other rookie who has maxed out like a Butler or Hampton who is now travelling backwards. The pickings are super slim with Myers appearing to be the best of a bad bunch right now.

Real Talk · 17/05/2017 at 16:36
I see your point but still wouldn't call him a must have.

Freddy · 17/05/2017 at 15:43
Agree. I wrote about a couple of weeks ago.

Filthy Phil · 17/05/2017 at 16:46
He is actually looking good out there so don't be surprised if he starts banging out 70s and 80s soon. If you don't get on this week and he pumps out an 80+ you could be one of those pathetic coaches we all see each week posting "Is it too late to get on so and so" next week about Myers.

Lazza · 17/05/2017 at 17:21
the only thing going for Myers is his price. Otherwise he is SC irrelevant. If you are happy burning trades to earn $130 – 150K then bring him in.

Filthy Phil · 17/05/2017 at 17:53
Forget his capital gain for a second, some us just need another warm body to get us through the freakin byes!

Travo · 17/05/2017 at 15:47
Wouldn't go with Waite, unpredictable and injury prone. I assume you already have Yeo? Kennedy would be the next best option in preparation for byes.

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 15:51
Thanks Travo.
Believe it or not I don't have Yeo. Cognitive bias at it's finest. I erased the part of my brain that held Yeo information a couple of years back. He does seem like the obvious guy. Ta.

Just Jeff · 17/05/2017 at 15:53
You really should hold Rocky and assess the situation next week. It would be a different story if it was some spud like Treloar who popped out a shoulder and there was some uncertainty on his return date. You would then just p1ss the bastard off as many did last week. But Rocky will be a top 4 scorer this season so you should persist with him if it's just going to be 1-2 weeks plus perhaps his bye. Personally i would just take your lumps this weekend and take some comfort in the fact that plenty other coaches will be in a similar boat, so you may not slip in the rankings as much as you might think. First thing is to see what happens with the team sheets this week as you may be panicking over nothing.

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 16:07
Ta Jeff.
Want to hold Rocky. Just setting up a few contingency plans so that when when final teams drop and the girl is trying to rush me out the door to have dinner with some people I have never met I know which buttons to click.

bigbradbrad · 17/05/2017 at 16:15
Yes you will probably gain any ground back later in the season that you may temporarily lose on the coaches who burn trades either dumping Rocky or bringing in dodgy rookies like Stewart or McInnes to cover any donuts they may have this week. A good chance that these rookies will either score poorly this week and/or lose their position in the side over the next few weeks so not sure I'd go early on them induced by some short sighted donut hysteria.

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 17:00
Ta Brad.
Coincidentally "Doughnut Hysteria" is the name of my solo album. Trademarked )

neil Demons Delight · 17/05/2017 at 17:11
not a bad team name

Swans2012 · 17/05/2017 at 19:39
I also have the fear of the doughie juzzy….you are nut alone. Surely there is another option, I don't mind waite as a left field short term crack at climbing the rankings

lazza · 17/05/2017 at 17:23
Kennedy is lock for top 6 … bring him in then reconsider the rest ..

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 17:44
Hope so Laz, Thanks.

Deaf Ears · 17/05/2017 at 16:04
Sorry what did you say again? I can't hear you!

BlueBoy · 17/05/2017 at 16:07
Dear Brad Scott,
Please pick Preuss.
Sincerely,
Witts owners

Randomcliche · 17/05/2017 at 20:54
In all caps….

Russty_ · 17/05/2017 at 16:11
I'm not counting on that Blueboy, have traded Preuss out for Cameron and Butler out for Heeney, will reverse obviously if Preuss is named.

BlueBoy · 17/05/2017 at 17:19
I'm not getting my hopes up. I've got the Rocky issue to deal with too. Had two great weeks that are about to be cancelled out by the poop served up by rookies I'm stuck with on the field.

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 17:39
Been writing to Brad Scott for weeks. He keeps telling me to get f*cked. He said he's joined the "ancient secret mystical society of the Rookiecutters" with his brothers Ross & Horse

Goat · 17/05/2017 at 21:13
It will happen. It will happen. Not this week but it will happen.

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 21:21
Sounds like Bart at Kamp Krusty.

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 18:03
Should've kept strndica or cameron and had Nank/Ryder in forwards. tsk tsk

BlueBoy · 17/05/2017 at 20:11
Started with Nank and Sandi on field with Witts on the bench for cash generation. Traded Preuss in after I saw both he and Witts scoring. I didn't think he'd be banished from the team for so long.
Looks like Strnadica is coming in for Preuss this week if he isn't picked…

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 17:30
I hate being right. I knew something was up

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 17:38
it is now up to Parsons and Pickett……… gulp

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 17:38
Ross has to be behind it somehow

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 17:59
I'm with Derek. Not a season goes by that Ross doesn't interfere & stuff with your plumbs

Filthy Phil · 17/05/2017 at 17:56
Not sure we can blame Ross the Boss for this one boys?! More the fantasy gods toying with our super exposed plums this time around.

Top Gun · 17/05/2017 at 19:04
Personal reasons = he hates Lyons!

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 19:11
Hehehe

Filthy Phil · 17/05/2017 at 18:00
If you can't trade him to a mid like Myers then we may need to bring in Stewart or McInnes as Balic won't be seen to well after the byes by the looks. Little point wearing a senseless donut this week and laying a nasty turd on your rank if he's not going to be part of the solution in the foreseeable future.

Big G · 17/05/2017 at 17:12
correction: or aim

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 17:35
Guess it depends on your bye structures Big G.
Bont for Rocky is rnd 11 for rnd 11 if that matters for you. Otherwise go nuts. Whoever you want.
If you have cover hold is a legit option.

redherringfc · 17/05/2017 at 18:35
If you just bought him, I'd say hold. I'm holding and quite prepared to wait until after his bye. Im not in the running for the money, but hopefully make finals in all leagues. If i lose a round here and there because he's on the bench so be it. If he comes back like last year then you'll want to buy him in again, costing 2 trades.

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 19:10
Love the DPP

Stanks21 · 17/05/2017 at 23:12
Cant believe you didnt include Oliver… he has had a ripper so far this year and is only getting better. Anyone that doesn't have him needs to get him ASAP. Luckily I knew how good he could be and took the punt having him in my team when he was like 400,000 haha

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 17:32
Might as well trade Balic to him now! Jesus! This season is a nightmare

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 17:39
I think he is a thumbs up.
New role, fast, Freo winning, cheap as chips, no Balic.

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 18:02
Am considering now that I will have a donut with no Balic. No mid/fwd swing either so have to trade in a fwd.

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 18:07
Do it.

Mike · 17/05/2017 at 18:22
Haven't we seen this before with Walters? Gets some time in the midfield, sucks a few in and then he's back to crapping out 50s and 60s.

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 18:24
SHill might be back this week.
Apparently Walters averages 86 without Hill and 57 with Hill. Heard it on draft doctors podcast

Just Jeff · 17/05/2017 at 18:46
Walters has trap written all over him for mine. The only thing really going for him is that he's a round 13 bye forward which is virtually an extinct species, now that Balic has gone the way of the dodo.

Randomcliche · 17/05/2017 at 21:01
Looks at team with Roughy sitting there…argh I knew there was a reason I kept you big fella!

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 21:20
His mate Gunston is looking a good buy

Randomcliche2 · 17/05/2017 at 22:35
Discounted, I'm not sure about good, I still think the Hawks have some tough days ahead with a few lean days for Gunston…unfortunately….. If I was to pick Rnd 13 Fwd there is one that stands head and shoulder over all others….J Cameron, runs both ways, kicks straight, winning team. But my fwd line is full and I've got my fill of rnd 13 bye players so alas he will not join my team this week, or probably for the season….sad face.

Top Gun · 17/05/2017 at 21:48
Might do well but too risky for mine

Juzzy · 17/05/2017 at 17:41
High hopes for Mountford. Should play soon.

Jacob · 17/05/2017 at 18:15
Who knows what's going to happen at either the Swans or Roos. Newman was struggling to get a game and Preuss can't even get a look in so you would need to be Nostradamus to predict what their INs and OUTs will be this week. Personally I've given up on Preuss playing again before the byes.

Cogla13 · 18/05/2017 at 08:57
Fox is still back on the rookie list. Wouldn't hold too much hope there.

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 18:01
Yep. I think a great deal will need to wave Myers goodbye

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 18:23
Simpkin gone

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 17:42
Oops already posted above.

whatyasmokin · 17/05/2017 at 18:01
Oliver or Tom Mitchell over Pendles.

neil Demons Delight · 17/05/2017 at 18:12
agree both should be there

Babo · 17/05/2017 at 18:08
I've done my shoulder before and I dont think I was in the mood to give a decent tackle in any less than 12 weeks. Thus Rocky I think is done for a top 10 mid from here on.

redherringfc · 17/05/2017 at 18:17
Is it his first time?
Faster recovery the more it has occurred. But also more likely to happen again.

Lazza · 17/05/2017 at 20:24
From now on?
If so, I'd suggest Hanners and Cripps might just feature in the Top 8, with TMitch at 9. (We need 9).
I'd replace Pendles and Rocky… and if Sloane continues to be tagged he will slip too..

Liam · 17/05/2017 at 21:43
Can't believe people are writing off Pendles and even Fyfe. Think they will both hit their straps. They are stars

Filthy Phil · 17/05/2017 at 18:10
Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!
Although I'm probably going to need to rob a bank as I'm sure as sh!t not going to be funding any such upgrade from my collection of spud rookies!

neil Demons Delight · 17/05/2017 at 18:10
would wait a few weeks .His BE is too high he will come down plenty

Moustachio · 17/05/2017 at 18:18
You'd want to wait a couple for his price to drop

redherringfc · 17/05/2017 at 18:26
I hope not. SC wise, I'll be happy if he misses the rest of the season (Spencer as well).
Took Jocks advice last week (or higgo) and brought in Pedersen. it paid off last week.
The longer Max is out (spencer as well) the better.

Billioux · 17/05/2017 at 18:20
Hmmm .Anyone actually seen INPieman and Ross in the same room??

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 18:30
When it happens it's going to be a fight to the death. Bare hands! We have history. And it ain't pleasant

Finnius123 · 17/05/2017 at 18:56
Merrett POD

Chris · 17/05/2017 at 19:59
What's the point of a POD though if they'll average less?

Finnius123 · 17/05/2017 at 22:07
He won't

Tibor · 17/05/2017 at 22:12
No one will talk to you, you lied to Jim stynes

Filthy Phil · 17/05/2017 at 18:52
I'll take any rookie with a pulse I can lay my hands on. It will be a god send if he can survive the seemingly inevitable slaughterhouse at the Cattery this week. I'd take his 20pts any day of the week!

INPieman · 17/05/2017 at 19:42
Agree filthy. Hang on to anything with a heartbeat. May mean holding Otten & Hampton. So be it. Bigger priorities have surfaced

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 21:18
If he plays he stays

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 19:07
you are clearly a SuperCoach genius.

Exactly Derek – straight to the top of the class for Karma!!

Monica · 17/05/2017 at 19:24
He should be in a mental home and get treatment for whatever. Fancy living with that attitude. Yuk.

TBone · 17/05/2017 at 19:22
geez you're a bit of a knob.

Moustachio · 17/05/2017 at 19:23
Sorry mate can't hear you from all the way up here on the ladder

Lazza · 17/05/2017 at 20:29
Cos you don't have either, nor Pickett, Baltic or Eddy .. such a smart cock

TigerMAN · 17/05/2017 at 19:27
I've got Black and Parsons with Parsons on field. Does that make ya'll feel better

TigerMAN · 17/05/2017 at 19:28
With Eddy as excellent cover NOT

gator59 · 17/05/2017 at 20:16
Must of got the tip from One Touch Wonder!!… SHARK MOVE

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 21:18
What has OTW come up with this year?

finnigin · 17/05/2017 at 20:28
think the rookie will be given some slack as against another north reject, till thurs night lol

Top Gun · 17/05/2017 at 21:53
Black is still a schmuck choice! I hope he plays so he can spud it up again. Lol.

Lazza · 17/05/2017 at 20:33
Why so? … so many smarmy pricks around … we are only a third of the way through the comp … so many sucking their own trumpet …

Kylegrenda · 17/05/2017 at 19:42
No way bro. Rocky is only out for one week.

Russty_ · 18/05/2017 at 01:46
Yeah….I don't think so.

Captain Risky · 17/05/2017 at 19:40
Willsmore must be close, Perryman in this week. I think tigers may bring in Bolton, Wigg maybe for Adelaide, Cunico at Geelong.
Another week to look at Stewart, McInnes & Lloyd..
We will have a few to work with over the byes with any luck.

Finnius123 · 17/05/2017 at 19:44
With any luck. Like that's gonna happen.

Randomcliche2 · 17/05/2017 at 22:10
The rookies will show themselves, just got to be looking a week ahead, which I guess is why you are killing my Midpriced madness league with your monster score on the w/e! N1.

Cogla13 · 18/05/2017 at 09:02
Sharenberg and Greenwood are both a chance. Might have luxury rookie choices over the byes.

Don't Blush Baby · 17/05/2017 at 19:47
I'm keeping Powell as he will be good for the Bye Rounds

TOPHAWK1 · 17/05/2017 at 20:13
Both very risky. Gray is playing too much forward for mine and has a dodgy leg. A role change to more midfield time is crucial to consider him. Ollie Wines is in a slump like last year. It seems like an ongoing slump. I would look elsewhere for the time being. Cheers

Randomcliche2 · 17/05/2017 at 22:15
I'm considering….I might end up with 9 premo mids, looping Beams/Wines (every week rnd 15 onwards). He could be too cheap to ignore come rnd 11. He is in my plan….but its a risky plan….its not easy to pick breakout contenders and you'd be safer not picking him and I wouldn't if it wasn't for the pesky byes….

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 21:13
Throw Preuss and Simpkin into that lot

Brian · 17/05/2017 at 21:31
It's the very same principle mate. Put the E on someone who plays early in the round. If they score well then put a non playing rookie on the field in their position. When they don't play you will the score of your emergency.
But if you have the E on 2 players in the same position, you will be given the lower score.
For this reason a non playing dpp rookie can be very handy

Lazza · 17/05/2017 at 20:41
I'd still be looking at trading out Hampton or Otten if you have either … they drop $$ this week, Balic won't..
Trade Balic later unless you don't have a DPP swing option (Berry/Adams) to accommodate the DEF/MID trade for Myers.

TBone · 17/05/2017 at 22:39
Already got rid of them mate, defense looks like Laird, Lloyd, Shaw, Rance, Marchbank, Newman (Stewart, Hibberd). Forward line is gonna be the issue for me though. Have Dahl, Macrae, Nank, Petracca, Butler, Balic (Parsons, Eddy) With Butler almost needing to be traded and the possibility of facing a forward line donut this week, I feel i need to strengthen there with the most urgency

Top Gun · 17/05/2017 at 21:59
Indefinitely could be a long time or a few weeks. I want to find out more and the media will sniff out more information. Stay tuned.

Tibor · 17/05/2017 at 22:20
Toby can play . Then again we shouldn't forget that rule about not putting tools in the team. This rule is generally more about Goddard and Jack Riewoldt but unfortunately it does apply to toby

Derek · 17/05/2017 at 22:22
Get Nic Nat at R2

Finnius123 · 17/05/2017 at 22:35
Well nic nat does have that handy rd 12 bye…

Tibor · 17/05/2017 at 22:39
Ta worth a thought when will he play there is talk Gawn could be back round 12 so if I went that way I'd be looking at maybe 14 or 15 I thought Nic Nat was gone all year?

Randomcliche2 · 17/05/2017 at 22:41
I've got a special bullet for Witts after Gawn's played 2 games, it will be sad to see the best rookie of 2017 go, but go he will.

Tibor · 17/05/2017 at 23:05
Gawn has a break even of 200+ and he'd need a couple of games to get going properly so his price should get a brutal slashing. Of greater concern would be if they try to nurse him a bit by putting Spencer in to help. At least any decisions on Gawn will have some exposed form to make a better call because surely no one would be silly enough to grab him as soon as he's picked

frogger · 17/05/2017 at 23:06
Hoping Rds 12, 13 back in and working up to speed with a view to grabbing him rd 14/15 after his price drops if he shows good signs. Witts has been great, but realistically 15-20 pts off top rucks(?), would be perfect.

Stanks21 · 17/05/2017 at 23:08
Yeo, McRae, Dalhaus, possibly Steele, Nankervis only ones I can think of

Undertaker · 17/05/2017 at 23:17
no JJK or Lynch?

Stanks21 · 17/05/2017 at 23:21
Forgot about JJK but wouldn't go lynch, Gold Coast are way to inconsistent and some games he doesn't get the ball down there much at all. I usually look to players that I know play MID aswell or push up the field to get touches.

Tibor · 17/05/2017 at 23:18
Tough call, they are all so up and down. I like Dahl and the yo yo both benefit from dpp. I keep the faith with both roo and the bud. Petracca is a bit left field and I concede a risk but I really like a lot of what I see and last week might be a break out of sorts. Waite when he is good is brilliant but super inconsistent, Maybe rough has turned the corner and current price is still ok. Josh Kennedy is a gun in a good team but he does have a few stinkers.
Hardly much certainty to any of that so I will finish with one gold plated do not touch certainty. Bloody Higgins…do not put yourself through it

Tibor · 17/05/2017 at 23:21
Obviously under the no tools rule I wouldn't consider Jack Riewoldt or Toby greene

Randomcliche · 18/05/2017 at 08:45
Dangermouse. Asap. But looks good.

whatyasmokin · 18/05/2017 at 00:43
Dusty/Priddis/Yeo/Kennedy
Rest are poor options. Selwood BE too high.

Dean · 18/05/2017 at 22:42
Bring in YEO end of story, gotta have him.

Northerner · 18/05/2017 at 13:45
20 or 21 depending if Pruess and Parsons named

Daniel Z · 18/05/2017 at 22:41
Likely 19 (after making 2 this week).
I think a lot of coaches have less than that though.

Dean · 19/05/2017 at 18:09
20 here, I'd love to bring Heeney in this week but he doesn't suit my bye round structure.

Russty_ · 19/05/2017 at 00:15
Hampton, to McInnes, has a non official status as a backup Ruckman.

Cogla13 · 19/05/2017 at 07:20
Petrie will be back soon, wouldn't go near McInnes.

Cogla13 · 19/05/2017 at 07:19
Well that will work for 1 week, not sure about going forward though. Good luck.
