Same, I'm playing against someone who has both.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 09:52
I wouldn't feel sorry for anyone with Sam Reid in their team..that's just asking for trouble.

Bells · 27/05/2017 at 14:25
Made 120k while putting in respectable 85 average. He's been a solid stepping stone.

TOPHAWK1 · 27/05/2017 at 08:49
Sam Reid is a disgrace and a fraud. He is the ultimate SC trap. 13 SC points…….hideous.
Just cut your losses and offload the prick this week mate as he will score 0 next week. (Bye)

Tibor · 27/05/2017 at 09:52
Sorry mate can't accept he is a "trap". To be a trap there would need to be some bait that would entice someone to bring him into the team in the first place. He is just a dumb pick. Sorry we all make mistakes and if you made this one just put your hand up and move on.
My brilliant idea to chuck fasolo in for a few weeks because he fitted a bye strategy on the other hand will just be shocking luck when it fails dismally……what the bloody hell was I drinking last week…

NotJockReynolds · 27/05/2017 at 14:06
What about his first couple of weeks. That's bait for ya

Tibor · 27/05/2017 at 14:18
Too obvious wily coyote sets a better trap than that.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 14:22
The guy has no consistency though, and a history of mediocre scoring from going missing in games, there are so many better choices than him.
Never even considered bringing him into my team, in 7 years.

Tibor · 27/05/2017 at 14:25
Thanks and perhaps a little more clearly explained, I'm getting another can…….

jockreynolds · 27/05/2017 at 09:00
I have it very close to that mark TOP – BE around 160, a couple of 90's on return would see him drop to around $435K by the end of round 13

jockreynolds · 27/05/2017 at 09:01
And I reckon he drops to about $485K this week (according to TooSerious salary predictor)

TOPHAWK1 · 27/05/2017 at 09:09
Bloody lovely Jock. I am licking my chops! He will get the red carpet treatment into my side in 3 weeks or so. Cheers

TheGreatBozza · 27/05/2017 at 10:22
Can anyone say Otten to Lloyd R13 #welcome

TOPHAWK1 · 27/05/2017 at 10:39
Oh yeh, Im flopping out my plums and giving them a mighty shine sailors. welcome

Raging Bulls · 27/05/2017 at 12:14
Hahaha!! What a thing to say!

TOPHAWK1 · 27/05/2017 at 15:11
Nothing like a pointy sausage , mmm bon apatete

CJay · 27/05/2017 at 09:06
Think I will be going whooshkaa at $435k.
Come on Jock… need some more whooshkaa's in the pod cast.
Severely under used word this season.

jockreynolds · 29/05/2017 at 12:32
Haa done mate.

Choppers · 27/05/2017 at 10:42
484k approx next round and about 464k approx in time for Rd13 even if he tonnes up next game….. He'll be even less in Rd14 (444k) if you can wait that long…..

octa · 27/05/2017 at 11:30
If you are so smart??? and if Lloyd is good why didn't you have him from the start?

Raging Bulls · 27/05/2017 at 12:15
U can leave now…

hedski · 27/05/2017 at 09:29
Doing the same.

Nate · 27/05/2017 at 10:12
Doing exact same here too mate

Krups · 27/05/2017 at 10:51
I'm in

SC_Kev7 · 27/05/2017 at 11:16
Preuss ripping it up in the VFL makes me nervous grabbing Goldy. He can't be far off getting a game… but it's Brad (I think?) Scott, so…

Harley · 27/05/2017 at 11:32
I honestly believe in the second half of the year we will see a lot more Pruess as north will be no chance for the 8 and will be wanting to get more AFL time into him for next year which will impact Goldy. That in itself is enough for me to stay away away from goldy right now. It's just a feeling I have!

Chopsticks · 27/05/2017 at 12:34
Totally agree. Sandi will be back next week – Ross taking the opportunity to rest the big fella for an interstate game they are unlikely to win. With so much doubt over the "premo" rucks this year, trading the Sandi/Witts (or Nank) ruck combo is a luxury at the back end of the season (if at all)

Tibor · 27/05/2017 at 13:49
I think I can see a big bearded bloke in a Melbourne jumper just coming over the horizon

MorrowSC · 27/05/2017 at 15:05
Most not be Gawn because he shaved it all off a few weeks ago! Cam Pedersen grown a beard?

Randomcliche2 · 28/05/2017 at 00:00
Spencer

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 10:18
No need mate, you didn't knee him in the head, just the way things go sometimes.

Moory · 27/05/2017 at 11:32
I doubt if anyone selected Lloyd on your recommendation. Most sensible SCers listen to good advisors like Derek and Pieman.

Gold Rush · 27/05/2017 at 12:24
No need for that!

Pitch 72 · 27/05/2017 at 12:37
Cut it out!!!!

Hawkas2017 · 29/05/2017 at 00:19
idiot

Randomcliche · 27/05/2017 at 13:49
Jesus, there are some angry ants around today. Eat up echidna.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 10:27
I'd go Goldy.

Carl · 28/05/2017 at 00:11
Can't see Archie lasting long. That's what I'm telling myself as i traded in Stef this week

crowls · 28/05/2017 at 21:11
sorry for you carl. bringing in stef when fagan brings out the kyptonite.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 10:25
Balic to Greenwood or do you already have him?

TheGreatBozza · 27/05/2017 at 10:29
Don't have Greenwood, I was thinking of waiting a week as I don't really need him this week, but it could allow me to go Marchbank to a Rance or higher.

TheGreatBozza · 27/05/2017 at 10:31
It would allow me to go Marchbank to any defender bar Docherty. I already have Adams, Laird and Shaw

TheGreatBozza · 27/05/2017 at 10:34
BONT

Ja191 · 27/05/2017 at 10:40
The BONT will go big

Baz · 27/05/2017 at 10:36
What, captain? I forgot about them after i put the VC on Dangerfield and he dominated!

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 10:39
The BONT, The BONT.

SCathiest · 27/05/2017 at 10:58
The North Melbourne one is. Worth his weight in doughnuts, I'm doing the double loophole with him this week.

Randomcliche · 27/05/2017 at 13:51
Yeah wishing I kept him.

Dean Billman · 27/05/2017 at 21:03
Get him in Boof.

YODA · 27/05/2017 at 11:01
Seen the future you have, proceed with caution you must.

CoachDamo · 27/05/2017 at 11:07
Wise words Yoda.

SMASHERBSB · 27/05/2017 at 13:30
Had him since the start and after trading McGrath for McInnes he is saving my team from a donut ! Kids got skills and it's about to show !

Finnius123 · 27/05/2017 at 11:19
Goldy – stef is going to get ruined by Archie smith

SC_Kev7 · 27/05/2017 at 12:33
Goldy was always going to dominate. Dees gave up 74 hitouts to Sauce and 53 to McEvoy in recent weeks. Only an injury to Preuss would make me consider him

Bells · 27/05/2017 at 14:36
Not even the best ruck at North anymore.

Moustachio · 27/05/2017 at 13:40
Goldy is an unproven scrub, definitely don't trade him in.

Wedge · 27/05/2017 at 13:44
Goldy never been reliable and overrated. Steer clear.

Randomcliche · 27/05/2017 at 13:54
Hahaha couldn't agree more!

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 11:57
I would pick Berry or Greenwood

Julie-Anne · 27/05/2017 at 12:32
Why?

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 12:33
Well Berry is the most consistent of the 3 and Greenwood has highest ceiling

Bells · 27/05/2017 at 14:38
Greenwood to play heaps of midfield this week according to his coach who wants him in against Fyfe.
SC rookie of the year candidate if he goes big again.

SC_Kev7 · 27/05/2017 at 12:23
Jenkins back to take Otten's preferred spot, I'd bench him. Though both have struggled recently

Deeboss · 28/05/2017 at 11:02
121 loll

Dave · 28/05/2017 at 11:45
I had same decision to make and fielded Otten over Marchbank… glad I made that choice

Jigglyblues · 27/05/2017 at 12:45
I'm doing number 1 but trading in Adams

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 12:52
Already have Adams but cannot afford Doch

Jigglyblues · 27/05/2017 at 12:57
I'd go one and Hibberd

Walt · 27/05/2017 at 13:34
Im doing number 2's, plop plop plop

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 13:02
Lock in Adams

Jigglyblues · 27/05/2017 at 13:04
Hibberd If byes suit

Davo · 27/05/2017 at 13:26
Thanks mate.

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 13:22
Merret I think

Baz · 27/05/2017 at 13:33
DANGERFIELD! Yeeeeeewwwwww

Moustachio · 27/05/2017 at 13:41
I usually lock in anything above 160 from my VC mate. Just a rule of thumb.

Tibor · 27/05/2017 at 14:22
Selwood hard to ignore with up coming games at tax payer stadium. This bloke gets a good run anyway but when at home I think the umps have little pictures of him in their lockers. Frees are nice points and come at the expense of others

Kyle · 27/05/2017 at 16:11
Wait a few weeks on the bont. Im bringing him in 1-2 weeks after his bye depending on his final score today. Selwood is my #1 upgrade priority this coming week.
My mids would look like this if i bring in the two of them: danger rocky pendles bont selwood zerrett fyfe and hanners
Selwood beat his BE by 20 this week and will go up in price more next week and i think bont will drop in price over his next 2 games. Both top 10 mids at absolute bargains!

Tibor · 27/05/2017 at 14:40
I thought Grundy would be doing better. Based on what was seen especially last year and the fact he doesn't have to fight for scraps with a team mate I'd say he should average the ton. The only problem is he is not getting the job done and his average seems to be heading even further south.
Round 12 v Melb who don't have a ruckman might be a good opportunity for him but beyond that I've lost faith in him
Good luck if you do get him he just might turn it around and be a pod for you. No denying he has the ability

Bells · 27/05/2017 at 14:43
Should be value pick, and safer than Goldy with Preuss due to come in. But will he be much better than the ruck you have now in Nank/Sandi/Witts?
I'm leaving that call to last upgrade myself.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 14:43
Preuss has had 4 chances and apparently didn't do enough to satisfy the coach, with so many talls in the Roos' forward line, I think one of Brown, Waite or Wood would have to go down or start spudding it up for Preuss to get another regular gig.
Goldy's already proven he can do the majority of the rucking..year after year.

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 14:45
Goldy has fallen this year for sure. Look at his last 34 opponents that explains his scores

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 14:39
That's very silly

Itchyloophole · 27/05/2017 at 14:50
Probably right with minimal forward options. Just feels like he is dropping of a bit. RAGE TRADE!
He'll hopefully have a 60 point second half to put me back in my place.

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 14:54
He is on 40 at ht not bad at all

Tibor · 27/05/2017 at 14:58
Agree. He's a pick and stick premo. If you want to trade like that every time a good player slightly drops off you need fifty or more trades a year. As for deciding he has to go at half time that is pretty harsh

DavidSA · 27/05/2017 at 16:19
Enter Mitch Wallis maybe?

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 14:59
Don't they have programs, putting a name to the number?

INPieman · 27/05/2017 at 14:59
He's a walking paper clip

Gibbons · 27/05/2017 at 15:08
Dean would be proud

INPieman · 27/05/2017 at 15:58
MacRae. But not by a lot

INPieman · 27/05/2017 at 16:05
You should pot McCartin more often. He's been good since you posted that

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 16:08
Too late now mate…it's just junktime marks and goals now, game over, he needs to perform when it matters.

Leeds17 · 28/05/2017 at 08:26
Paddy least of your problems, Saints look best when playing high pressure but at the moment don't have the skill to pull it off, always offering constant turnovers.

Dice · 27/05/2017 at 18:56
What was his time on field holty?

crowls · 28/05/2017 at 21:18
seems to be missing a tank. tog is always low. ppm is solid. be nice to see his tog increase in second half of the season

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 16:16
Well, probably not too flash I'd guess BONT, but you need to make sure you've got your Captain's loophole locked in if you're going to use it… It's a rookie mistake and you need to make sure it doesn't happen again bud.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 16:37
On the bright side BONT, you only missed out on 75 points, at least Bont didn't get a 50.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 18:42
Not sure about him yet, could end up being Joe average, and a wasted trade, maybe look a bit longer.

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 18:45
Roo might be a better choice after 2 weeks off. Should finish the season strong

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 16:43
Just be careful mate, having a great side but not enough trades to cover injuries in the League finals is a season killer.

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 16:48
Will be 2 off full premo after those trades so I should be fine for injuries right?

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 16:49
Fingers crossed for ya mate 🙂

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 16:51
7-8 trades for injuries is normally what I aim for and Scott Selwood will be my bench cover

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 16:42
Maybe he'll get a game in round 25?

INPieman · 27/05/2017 at 17:05
That's not helping his price on my bench

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 17:57
I'm still stuck with him too, and Pickett, Hibberd and Parson's Nose.

hedski · 27/05/2017 at 17:33
Dumped him to Greenwood this week to avoid a donut.

crowls · 28/05/2017 at 21:20
+1 and nice not concerning myself if he gets a game or is a late in etc. serenity…

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 17:04
wait for Gawn

Steve · 27/05/2017 at 17:22
Need to bring a ruck in this week to avoid a donut though.

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 17:26
Might be smart to cop the donut

Steve · 27/05/2017 at 17:30
What kind of advice is that?

wombatsfc · 27/05/2017 at 17:33
Mummy is great choice if his ankles hold up. If you have to trade in a ruck to cover a donut maybe consider whatever ruck has the lowest breakeven / will make the most before their bye. OR put nank in the ruck and trade in a fwd

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 17:35
I would be trading in a ruck/forward to swing Nank or just take the donut. Sometimes taking the donut is the best long term move.

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 17:03
I am going with Berry

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 18:33
Looking like a pretty darn good call, Hibberd 94 points at 3/4 time and Harbrow on 57…take a bow fella.

crowls · 28/05/2017 at 21:21
thank god i didn't. 🙁

crowls · 28/05/2017 at 21:22
lynch f4 steele becomes f7/m9 and hibberd, lloyd and doc to finish the backs

INPieman · 27/05/2017 at 17:58
Cheap yes but he does throw in some poor scores. Hence why he's cheap. Playing through the byes is great. But you'd want trade surplus to probably move him on later

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 17:55
Careful, or the Supercoach Gods could smite thee 🙂

INPieman · 27/05/2017 at 17:58
Can I have your team

Tyruddanaut · 27/05/2017 at 18:15
Bidding starts at $100

INPieman · 27/05/2017 at 18:32
How much are you selling trades for?

Tyruddanaut · 27/05/2017 at 22:11
Auction starts at 145,000 but you can buy now for 2,000,000

ToughBretts · 27/05/2017 at 18:32
You are the sole reason Lynch scored 0 in the 3rd quarter.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 18:36
That's the smiting kicking in lol

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 19:11
You ended up jinxing the crap out of him with that comment haha

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 18:03
Yeah Bulldogs players were underwhelming, and I had Lloyd, so not holding out much hope for a decent score this week.

INPieman · 27/05/2017 at 18:35
Didn't realise Lloyd was in 13% of teams. Would have missed next week most likely but he has a bye which is handy for owners. For non owners he will present a bargain in a month

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 18:39
He's been a nice surprise his year, I'm actually not that fussed, may lose a few league games but, not the end of days. He'll be back and raring to go after his bye.

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 18:41
If Shaw is still playing like shit and I can afford the trade Shaw will turn into Lloyd in a few weeks

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 18:27
I know, it's frustrating as hell to watch, they seem to have reverted back to a bunch of headless chooks, ala the last 5 years, hope they can turn things around.

INPieman · 27/05/2017 at 18:33
They looked very ordinary today

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 18:40
Agree Pieman, Ordinary, terrible and horrible…bastards!

Top Gun · 27/05/2017 at 20:28
They should have learned from the Pies first quarter against the Hawks. You must move the ball fast and take the game on.

Finnius123 · 27/05/2017 at 18:45
Stewart for him after rd 11

Jigglyblues · 27/05/2017 at 18:46
Same

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 18:48
I thought his chronic history of leg injuries would stuff him this year, but I was wrong, he's proving to be a gun and still cheap at that!..I'd better get him in after rd 11.

INPieman · 27/05/2017 at 19:36
If he can stay injury free he's looking a quality pick. 3 weeks 110+ cant be ignored

Tommo09 · 27/05/2017 at 20:08
Got a 56 the week before though. That was the week I brought him in

JohndJames · 27/05/2017 at 20:43
Yes he did,but that has been his only bad game out of six.

Leeds17 · 28/05/2017 at 08:22
Think he still got high possessions in that too from memory, just didn't use it too well,

JohndJames · 27/05/2017 at 20:09
I've been saying that for the last two weeks,too whoever asked.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 18:52
Yeah!…they won last night, good win.

hedski · 27/05/2017 at 19:14
Was pretty set on Goldy but figured I'd take a bit of a risk (Preuss factor worried me a bit).
Got a soft spot for the big sausage slayer being an ex cat and all.

Tyruddanaut · 27/05/2017 at 19:19
The big sausage slayer?

hedski · 27/05/2017 at 19:27
Yep.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 19:28
Think he means Mummy from Giants.

hedski · 27/05/2017 at 19:35
Yep. Averaging 10 points more than Goldy, lone wolf and only $8k dearer. Yeah I know dodgy ankle but so does Goldy.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 19:38
He's a big tough bastard too, which is what ya want from your Ruckman.

INPieman · 27/05/2017 at 19:39
The sausage slayer. My ex brother in law played in his country football team witnessed that demolition. He can go 20+ easy. Bunnings ambassador on the cards

hedski · 27/05/2017 at 20:24
Beast of a man.

Tyruddanaut · 27/05/2017 at 20:58
I couldn't figure out if he meant someone who was gay or German smh

hedski · 27/05/2017 at 21:31
Ha, wasn't to hard to figure out.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 19:14
Bonus, if you had him onfield.

Finnius123 · 27/05/2017 at 19:14
I did!

Holty · 27/05/2017 at 19:20
So did i

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 19:27
Noice!…you two.

Captain Risky · 27/05/2017 at 20:48
Can't believe he's scored more than 30, 2 weeks in a row! I still think he's a spud, but at least is making some cash now. Guess I have to hold him again.
I will be able to loophole his score and take Berry off the field through the miracles of dpp.

Pom · 27/05/2017 at 22:38
Sadly I have Tex 'Football' Walker. Hannan scored just over 3 times what Tex did today…. Let that sink in……
Even more humiliating is that Parsons scored nearly double what Tex did. So if your weekend is going badly, I hope these horror stats made you smile!

Tibor · 28/05/2017 at 08:17
If there has been a better SuperCoach pick this year than getting Clayton Oliver at the start for 382k I don't know what it is

Randomcliche2 · 28/05/2017 at 08:41
Witts?

INPieman · 27/05/2017 at 19:34
You did. Could you please talk up Docherty now

Jigglyblues · 27/05/2017 at 19:40
Don't you say a word!

hedski · 27/05/2017 at 20:08
NO.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 19:27
That's bizarro world!…did you do that before the first round started or after…you should be able to reverse anything before the first game.

Jigglyblues · 27/05/2017 at 19:38
After 🙁

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 19:43
Oh well, lesson learned mate, you can experiment as much as you want before the week starts, but after game 1 starts trades are locked in…you know that now so, no biggy. Sometimes we need to learn lessons the hard way.
Don't worry about it..I'm sure that decision alone won't make or break your season, still a half a season to go 🙂

Terry · 27/05/2017 at 19:27
What the actual F

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 20:01
Could be a good move, Daniher seems to have graduated from spudschool this year…he's looking pretty damaging so far..40 in first quarter.

Jordan · 27/05/2017 at 20:16
Not sure mate Daniher has a really filthy moustache which weighs him down

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 20:18
I heard his team mates call him Mr Potato Head

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 19:55
Yeah this sucks

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 20:04
Bellchambers is dominating, has 13 hitouts to 5 and Nank has 0 disposals.

Doggy · 27/05/2017 at 20:14
Damn, the one time TBc does something and it's against the nank, haha

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 20:30
Nank 12 points just before half time uuuuurgh

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 20:09
He's on 20, Greenwood on 27…gun rook..slippery and rainy there doesn't help much.

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 20:11
Very happy I got Greenwood last week

INPieman · 27/05/2017 at 20:20
Pies are offering Mayne & Wells in return. Bargain!

gator59 · 27/05/2017 at 20:57
may as well throw in bucks too!!

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 20:31
Unlucky buddy I traded him out also

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 20:07
And Bolton to get in next week some great rookies appearing

INPieman · 27/05/2017 at 20:25
Both looking very handy inclusions

BRUCE MACAVANY · 27/05/2017 at 20:38
DELICIOUS!

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 20:42
..He arches his back…lol

hedski · 27/05/2017 at 20:50
Looking like Nank the Stank, let's hope he comes good second half.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 20:48
Freo look like a big pile of Elephant's dung tonight.

Top Gun · 27/05/2017 at 21:27
Jurassic Park poop!

TOPHAWK1 · 27/05/2017 at 20:53
That is one of the most one sided halves I have ever seen between two AFL clubs. Adelaide 9-18-72. Freo 2-1-13. A ridiculous 27 scoring shots to 3. The scoreboard is flattering the Dockers.

crowls · 28/05/2017 at 21:27
Ross and Fyfe to Saints in a double trade.

Top Gun · 27/05/2017 at 20:46
I went early on Greenwood. Glad i did.

Derek · 27/05/2017 at 22:31
Big risk going early

Tyruddanaut · 27/05/2017 at 20:57
Can he double ton

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 21:28
Not looking like it…maybe a 160-170 though.

Top Gun · 27/05/2017 at 21:29
And will pass his break even score of 148. Damn I might never get him.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 21:17
I'm sick of Fyfe this year, think I might trade him…he's in a spud team anyway…he hasn't really even proved to be good value.

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 21:18
Same I am considering this also

Top Gun · 27/05/2017 at 21:23
Thinking maybe he's saving himself to play for the mighty Saints 🙂

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 21:27
That'd be nice Top Gun, maybe he needs a change, what we really need though is some decent forwards who can find the goals.

Tyruddanaut · 27/05/2017 at 20:56
I hope Adelaide improve their kicking and end the match with another 27 goals

TOPHAWK1 · 27/05/2017 at 21:00
Agreed. Freo are a bunch of stooges. Pretending premadonnas.

Top Gun · 27/05/2017 at 21:24
Not helping Lairds score. Never gets down there

Bells E Bubb · 28/05/2017 at 17:57
Nank, kicks the winning goal, then goes back saves the game with a crucial mark in the defensive 50.
75 SC points. Wow his score must’ve been at 40 prior to the last 5 minutes.
Fyfe is no longer a premo. Must be losing himself about 100k a week on his next contract.

Tyruddanaut · 27/05/2017 at 21:28
Mind blown

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 21:24
Would steer clear of both of them. Both not top 10 forwards

Derek · 27/05/2017 at 22:29
Was always a risk with Hill coming back

crowls · 28/05/2017 at 21:29
justice is served

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 21:33
I'll start letting you guys know which rookies I traded out from now on. First WHE then Newman now Otten. Prepare for a tonne from Marchbank tomorrow.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 21:36
Bad luck mate, it was hard not to believe that Jenkin's return wouldn't affect Otten's output though…I benched him for that reason, but it ended up working out for me…just lucky I guess.

TheGreatBozza · 27/05/2017 at 22:55
Exact same here. I considered playing him on field to negate my opponent but I went Berry instead. Hopefully he can pull off an 80+

Jigglyblues · 27/05/2017 at 21:48
Scharenberg better be a bloody superstar!

DavidSA · 27/05/2017 at 21:51
I'm keeping McGrath and Berry rest of season best swing set this year imo

Derek · 27/05/2017 at 22:28
It will be s shame to break them up. Loved them

Whitey · 28/05/2017 at 07:37
I think Mitch Wallis will be this weeks bandwagon selection.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 21:52
He did it with that goal 🙂

Guzza · 27/05/2017 at 22:10
You are a frustrated idiot.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 22:10
Dunno man, he seems to have gotten worse since he became Captain, dump his useless arse asap before he damages your season any more.

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 22:14
I picked all of them so far….nah just kidding, I had Danger lol

JohndJames · 27/05/2017 at 22:40
Danger, Jones and Sloane,I usually have Oliver for the Dees games though.

Kyle · 27/05/2017 at 22:56
Sloane scored 175 and smashed his BE. Price is gonna be going up for a few week. if your gonna bring him in it is this week or wait for a price drop eventually.
Neale is over priced atm and his value is gonna plummet over the next few weeks with his score of 55 in the rolling average. Bring him in in a few weeks. Now is a bad time

Dean · 29/05/2017 at 15:48
I concur with Kyle 100%
If you want to pay that sort of cash for a top midfielder go Sloane this week, even though he went up almost $13k this week he is still $4k cheaper if you would have got him at the start, however his breakeven is now at 49 so his price is projected to go up $25k after this week.
If Sloane doesn't suit your bye structure this week then just wait for Neale just as Kyle said because his breakeven is 178 and he is projected to drop $28k this week and could drop a lot more if he scores around 80 to 90 – He will be great to get after his bye so look to pick up Neale in round 14 or 15 where he will cost you around $570k thats a lovely $50k drop in price.
Either pick up Sloane this week if you want to spend that sort of cash or fix up your other area's first is another idea.
I personally am only downgrading this week, such as Marchbank to either Scharenberg or McInnes and have to trade pepper to Greenwoood providing they are selected.
I personally think it's crazy to upgrade to a premium that has not had his bye.

Derek · 27/05/2017 at 22:27
It is a worry for the future. He might be slowing down

TOPHAWK1 · 27/05/2017 at 22:28
Yep, pretty much sums it up. After tonight, Boss "Hogg" Ross might name him next week.

Roscoe from StKida · 29/05/2017 at 15:11
Only a small addition..No Sandy, No Fyffe, No Freeoing chance

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 22:19
What makes you think that mate?

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 22:21
TOG

Ravo · 27/05/2017 at 22:31
What is TOG mean? I don' t understand your reasoning. I watched the game and he did ok like last week. His test willl come when Adelaide have some competition.
He will not be dropped – yet.
Go Tigers.

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 22:32
He played around 60% of the game. Coach must not be a fan of him at some point his TOG dropped below 50%

LoganJosh7 · 29/05/2017 at 12:02
hey mate – where is the easiest place to see live TOG?

Dean · 29/05/2017 at 16:01
best place is fanfooty mate, just click on this link: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/
Then you'll see on top all the games played this week, select the Adelaide vs Freo game as a example and you will see a pink clock in the right corner of each team, this indicates the Time On Ground each player has had, for example Grenwood had 62% TOG and Sloane had 80%
Also the icon to the right of the pink clock which looks like a target, is disposal efficiency also in % which is quite important to know.
Hope this helps mate.

Dean · 29/05/2017 at 16:04
Sorry I meant the icon left to the pink is the disposal efficiency, NOT right.

LoganJosh7 · 29/05/2017 at 16:17
huh I use fanfooty fairly often and always seen the disposal efficiency but not the TOG. maybe im just blind. ill check it out next time!
Thanks mate. legend 🙂

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 22:55
TOG can be seen on the AFL website mate, click on the game being played and then the advanced stats.

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 22:24
Balic to Scott Selwood for me since I own Greenwood

Benny · 27/05/2017 at 22:46
Like the look of Mitch Wallis

Kyle · 27/05/2017 at 22:52
toby greene or gc lynch?

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 22:54
Roo after his bye

JohndJames · 27/05/2017 at 23:29
Your kidding right.

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 23:32
Nope he has had 2 weeks rest and always finishes the season strongly

Roscoe from StKilda · 29/05/2017 at 15:13
Jamie Elliott probably

DefyingMadness · 27/05/2017 at 22:44
How is everyone else tracking?

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 22:52
1631 from 16

Finnius123 · 27/05/2017 at 23:10
I'm 1630 from 16!

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 23:20
Glad I'm not playing you this week haha

Randomcliche2 · 27/05/2017 at 23:35
1559/15+C dodged Llyod

The benchmark · 28/05/2017 at 06:34
1709/16

Doggy · 27/05/2017 at 22:56
1625/15 with dangers VC included. Projected for 2321 but a couple look inflated eg, jjk projected for 140

TOPHAWK1 · 27/05/2017 at 23:23
Yep, you are DefyingMadness! Keep backing good players and keep scoring points!

Holty · 28/05/2017 at 09:59
I was 998 after 8 but last nights games let me down.
Now 1451/14 Danger

Russty_ · 27/05/2017 at 22:54
Well done SCD, Eagles should score well against the Giants at home, good luck for a big week 🙂

SCdonkey · 27/05/2017 at 23:45
Tnx Russ my team is due for a big score hopefully it's this week.

TOPHAWK1 · 27/05/2017 at 23:20
Great stuff mate. Isnt a week a long time in football hey. Stay tough and back your players. Cheers

INPieman · 28/05/2017 at 06:13
Your not alone. Marchbank better play the game of his life!

INPieman · 28/05/2017 at 06:58
2 weeks away from the club minimum. Doesn't mean Ross will put him straight back in. But after last night he could be a chance

FCAbel · 28/05/2017 at 12:35
Wallis. Fevourless

DefyingMadness · 28/05/2017 at 12:37
Depends if he has Dahl, Bont and Macrae. If Bulldogs have a poor day out like yesterday then his team may struggle.

Donny · 28/05/2017 at 08:35
Easy

TOPHAWK1 · 28/05/2017 at 08:56
Taylor Adams and Dayne Beams may get you the 250 between the two of them. No dramas getting those mate.

Mike · 28/05/2017 at 11:13
Thanks fellas need some assurance every now and then

FCAbel · 28/05/2017 at 12:36
370

Nate · 28/05/2017 at 09:38
Scharenburg. Debut game would never risk it

Pman · 28/05/2017 at 09:53
HJe has played before, jsut not this season but I take your point…spewing I trded Otten out yesterday though!

TOPHAWK1 · 28/05/2017 at 09:54
The sensible option is Scharenberg.
The gutsy option is Berry.
Collingwood will probably smash the Lions in Melbourne today. Scharenberg might just come along for the ride.

finnigin · 28/05/2017 at 10:37
the berg has penetration, run and carry, if he gets it will score well

SCdonkey · 28/05/2017 at 11:35
Tough one to pick out of Berry and MBank. Berry played well in the wet has been in good form lately with Rocky out he's getting more game time. MBank has been good rookie all year getting you that 50+ a game playing at ES don't have to worry about the weather condition.
I am leaning more towards Berry.

Hawkas2017 · 28/05/2017 at 13:12
Berry been playing mid lately so should be 70+ marchbank can also go 70+ so anyone one of those is reasonable

Boltons Blues · 28/05/2017 at 10:05
Please, please give us a nice Sunday
Projected 2313, will probably scrape over the 2k line

TOPHAWK1 · 28/05/2017 at 10:09
That would be nice for a change. If the big boys post good scores today, then we will probably see some real big break out scores this week. From here, I would be happy with 2300-2350. Lets see what the holy day brings.

hedski · 28/05/2017 at 10:46
I was looking at 2300 Saturday morning, 7 played for @850 Danger cap. Ended up @1400 with 15 played, didn't have a player ton up and two scores under 50!! SUCKY SATURDAY…

Daniel · 28/05/2017 at 11:52
That's not what thyself means.

Jigglyblues · 28/05/2017 at 14:18
Sorry it's a stressful time

Stanks21 · 28/05/2017 at 18:45
Same mate. Would have happened to a few people so dont stress. As long as your team is made of proven scorers then no issues.

SCdonkey · 28/05/2017 at 11:49
Hoping Roos will put a tag on him, but most likely Gibbo will be on Smurf.

FCAbel · 28/05/2017 at 12:38
Marchbank 140+

Holty · 28/05/2017 at 12:01
No point having heater in your team if you are considering not playing him. Berg on the bench.

Holty · 28/05/2017 at 12:03
And well done for holding Ottens. I traded him a few weeks ago so hasnt hurt me when working out his average. But for those who traded him this week, i feel for you.

Iamme · 28/05/2017 at 13:06
Cheers Holty, I'm going Shaw, must be due?

DefyingMadness · 28/05/2017 at 12:35
Thanks lmao

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 13:36
Happy Birthday!…you gave yourself a new profile? 🙂

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 13:36
Idk someone logged in my account

TOPHAWK1 · 28/05/2017 at 13:40
I'll jump out of a cake for you, you naughty little sailor teehee.

DefyingMadness · 28/05/2017 at 13:19
Berry is tagging Treloar RIP me

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 13:20
Yeah this is disastrous

TOPHAWK1 · 28/05/2017 at 13:21
I have both. At least Berry is on my bench. Break the tag Treloar!!!

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 13:25
Treloar has absolutely demolished the tag

Finnius123 · 28/05/2017 at 13:27
I may have spoken too soon. He is absolutely killing it!

TOPHAWK1 · 28/05/2017 at 13:33
Looks like Treloar has broken the tag. Good boy.

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 13:36
Yep now we just need Berry to start getting some points

TOPHAWK1 · 28/05/2017 at 13:46
Yep, on my bench, but I need more cash. Pull your finger out Berry. Score points mate. Your BE is 0!

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 13:54
I have him on field. So far my trades this week of Otten and Marchbank to Berg and Hibberd have sucked

JohndJames · 28/05/2017 at 14:49
Hibberd went alright yesterday.I kept Otten though.

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 15:17
Berry has died

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 13:55
Being held well by Paparone Pizza..and gave away a free

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 14:27
Nah traded him out for Pendles in round 7.

JohndJames · 28/05/2017 at 14:46
Kept him,thought he would be good enough as a M8 once my mids are full premo,only one more to get,which will probably be Pendles.

FEARTHEBEARD · 29/05/2017 at 11:18
Yeh still got him, not worried about moving him unless injured. 1 trade off full premium too for Newman to Lloyd

Roscoe from StKilda · 29/05/2017 at 15:15
played a coach who had Beams, Zorko and Stef. Man a little scary but Stef held out.

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 14:22
Traded out Beams but at least I kept Treloar. I also think Beams scores are being heavily influenced by the fact Rocky is out.

JohndJames · 29/05/2017 at 00:17
Not sure you can call him a Champion just yet,I still prefer Pendles over Treloar,plus it depends who people traded in for Treloar if it was a bad trade or not.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 14:20
25 at half time, not bad but not great.

Doggy · 28/05/2017 at 14:43
Hopefully it's just to give Stef an extended break before his bye, without actually dropping him….

Billioux · 28/05/2017 at 15:15
I miss picking between NicNat,Gawn and Goldy. Set forget and move on. Martin is Jughead with Archie playing.

davo · 28/05/2017 at 15:30
HAHA very funny

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 15:39
First time I have fielded Berry also

Jigglyblues · 28/05/2017 at 15:50
Only a 20 or so point difference, oh well I'm very happy with Scharenberg.

Harry H · 28/05/2017 at 15:49
Me too. Wasn't massive difference in the end though

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 15:52
Only a 16 point difference, not the end of the world, Sharenberg did pretty well for his first game.

SCdonkey · 28/05/2017 at 20:57
If the price is right, he wouldn't give a stuff of how many people are watching. It's all about the money these days mate, it's not VFL anymore when players were loyal to the clubs they play for.

Jigglyblues · 28/05/2017 at 15:50
First

Jamie · 28/05/2017 at 23:55
I traded out t Lynch looking to make some cash and potentially buy him back cheaper, but not sure he is a top forward.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 16:35
Cull him, he's been a disappointment with all the wraps on him.

Jigglyblues · 28/05/2017 at 16:10
Gets all his points from intercept marks

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 16:36
????

Top Gun · 28/05/2017 at 17:05
et al = latin 'and others'

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 17:30
Yeah I know that…Priddis and others …what?

hedski · 28/05/2017 at 19:00
Mummy et al (the snags.)

hedski · 28/05/2017 at 20:20
Go giants

Jigglyblues · 28/05/2017 at 16:43
Im just kidding mate haha.

Jigglyblues · 28/05/2017 at 16:44
I'm ecstatic, feels good to finally have him in.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 16:53
Oh ok haha, yeah he's a gun allright!

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 16:51
Nope he doesn't score unless he gets goals due to his new role

hedski · 28/05/2017 at 16:58
Na had Martin, got Big Mummy in mate.
Think you have me covered pretty easy Shake, shocking week.

Holty · 28/05/2017 at 18:25
Oh yeah, cheers hedski. A blonde moment that. Lets hope it was only to give him a bit more extra rest

Top Gun · 28/05/2017 at 17:28
And since i said that he went from 58 to 89 in 15 minutes. Lol.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 17:32
He's still a shit lol

Top Gun · 28/05/2017 at 17:40
True! And that sh!t is over 100 atm

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 17:21
This one's turned into a cracking game!

No one · 28/05/2017 at 19:44
Ha ha ha ha ha.

hedski · 28/05/2017 at 17:49
Sucky saturday.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 18:07
Sucky week…started with Lloyd in the first minute.

Tyruddanaut · 28/05/2017 at 18:33
Delicious Sunday
Pendles – 130
Treloar – 141
Grundy – 120
Adams- 109
Doch – 124

JigglyBlues · 28/05/2017 at 18:46
Succulent Sunday

Derek · 28/05/2017 at 19:33
Spearheaded by Stef Martin's effort

Derek · 28/05/2017 at 18:09
I hear ya. Had a choice of Barrett, Marchbank or Berry on field. Went with Berry

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 18:18
same with me

Jamie · 28/05/2017 at 23:52
Same. Also traded otten instead of marchbank….

Roscoe from StKilda · 29/05/2017 at 15:18
Bad Luck there oh Great Lord of Darkness

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 18:07
Maybe Kreuzer…going big in his last 4 games. Goldy's not done, 90 ain't a disaster.

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 18:40
Pretty sure anyone who went Sandi to Goldy wasted a trade they will average the same from here onwards

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 23:31
Nah I doubt that very much.

wombatsfc · 29/05/2017 at 00:53
The Tractor could be to shark move Rusty I'm thinking of trading him back in after his bye. Had him until he got injured then swapped him for Sandi its about time to swap back I think. Kruez does everything that scores SC points and he's got an engine like a tractor i.e. going just as hard at the end of the day as he was at the start. He's scored so high because he's running his opponents into the ground and getting clearances as well as tackles

Tyruddanaut · 28/05/2017 at 18:34
Grundy got 120. Coz didn't change that, he made it better

Randomcliche2 · 29/05/2017 at 11:16
Krueze is playing well, Goldy will be fine.

hedski · 28/05/2017 at 20:24
Trambopamaline. Saxamaphone.
Gotta get your Homerisms right Dave.

Tommo09 · 28/05/2017 at 18:10
Started Simpson over him for the extra cash

Tyruddanaut · 28/05/2017 at 18:30
Wasn't it 10k smh

Boltons Blues · 28/05/2017 at 18:35
Funny you say that Derek, i just came onto the site to comment about Docherty
All those poor souls waiting for him to go cheaper then 550k, only to realise he is $700 more expensive then he started the season and going up after this weeks lockout.
#Rule 1, Lock the Doc

JigglyBlues · 28/05/2017 at 18:47
Yep lock the doc, was my very first selection

Top Gun · 28/05/2017 at 18:58
I did pay the price and fking Shaw was that price… grrr can't wait to boot his a$$

Northerner · 28/05/2017 at 20:55
I upgraded Jones for Docherty this week and Marchbank for Hibberd so extra 75pts. Great stepping stones. Happy with that timing!

TRIGGER HAPPY · 29/05/2017 at 11:33
Lock the doc
And pay the price!

Tyruddanaut · 28/05/2017 at 18:43
I hope you mean manage because mange is eat in French. Nonetheless 2300 is delicious

Boltons Blues · 28/05/2017 at 19:02
You could look at it either way, manage 2300, mange 2300 xD
Well Kennedy is gone, Shaw has dropped to walking pace, ill be lucky to get 2250

hedski · 28/05/2017 at 18:54
Na slippery fingers.

Jigglyblues · 28/05/2017 at 18:54
Was projected 2400, down to 2280. Still, can't complain

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 19:01
I am something like 19- 21- 16. Should be fine with round 13 as I have time to fix it

Northerner · 28/05/2017 at 20:52
I have 19, 25, 19 counting Strnadica all 3 weeks. All rookies playing. That assumes Ablett and Sandi back.

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 21:05
I still have Eddy and Balic

Jigglyblues · 28/05/2017 at 19:21
WHAT

Derek · 28/05/2017 at 19:30
Was 59 at half time. Went forward and was 62 half way through 4th quarter. Why!?

Roscoe from StKilda · 29/05/2017 at 15:20
He loses points for those backward moonwalk manoeuvrings he does

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 19:12
He's done for Shaw

Swans2012 · 28/05/2017 at 19:16
Shawly

No one · 28/05/2017 at 19:52
His score fell shawt.

Keithy · 28/05/2017 at 20:39
Shawt his pants

Top Gun · 28/05/2017 at 19:31
2200??

TOPHAWK1 · 28/05/2017 at 19:38
2250?

Tommo09 · 28/05/2017 at 19:49
Yeah I agree
I got 2208 with Sandi's donut
There will be some big scores but some low ones as well

TOPHAWK1 · 28/05/2017 at 19:37
Agreed. Shaw has 2 weeks to prove his worth. Otherwise it looks like it will be a straight switch to Lloyd. With JJK going down this week, I have some serious challenges in my forward line this week.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 19:32
Ankle, calf, archilles..not sure yet.

Top Gun · 28/05/2017 at 19:33
Injured his right ankle. Hopefully it's not an achilles.

wombatsfc · 28/05/2017 at 19:47
Ominous, his left ankle kept him out for 3-months+ in 2012.

Hoot · 28/05/2017 at 20:14
good reminder

Hoot · 28/05/2017 at 19:35
Thanks .. fingers crossed

INPieman · 28/05/2017 at 19:42
It wasn't his ankle specifically being iced. It was most of his lower leg. Hard to say. But he was struggling

Hoot · 28/05/2017 at 20:38
I just watched the video online of the injury. I wasn't able to see any major lateral or medial shift of his ankle before he collapsed. I'm guessing its higher up (achilles) hopefully a minor ankle tweak which is a much better scenario.
Remember the man is 100+kgs and almost 30yrs….
Plays an explosive role i.e lots of sprints and jumping. (calve tendons don't like that very much)
I fear the worst.

TOPHAWK1 · 28/05/2017 at 19:41
2219. Not too bad considering JJK going down and the pathetic effort by heater.

JohndJames · 28/05/2017 at 19:41
2163 with J.Lloyd's 4

hedski · 28/05/2017 at 19:45
2120 and lucky to get there Fin.

INPieman · 28/05/2017 at 19:45
2194 & lost every league match I checked. I gave up at 6 leagues. No upgrades for last 3 weeks due to bye planning, donuts & stockpiling cash. Hopefully my sacrifices get rewarded shortly. 2250+ looks decent score from what I saw

Stanks21 · 28/05/2017 at 19:47
2,222 with shaw, Martin, Nank and Fyfe playing shit.

Tommo09 · 28/05/2017 at 19:48
2208 with Sandi's donut and JJK going down

Jigglyblues · 28/05/2017 at 19:48
2234, fairly happy. Should be a good score this week I'm thinking.

Top Gun · 28/05/2017 at 19:49
2218. Not great but not terrible and hopefully keeps me thereabouts.

Harley · 28/05/2017 at 19:53
2300

Harley · 28/05/2017 at 19:54
2300 pretty happy with rocky and sandi on bench

Hoot · 28/05/2017 at 20:19
any cover at R2?

Randomcliche2 · 28/05/2017 at 20:47
2265 rocking the same bench….you win (couldn't loophole Stewart n EVW to get another 40 points…

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 20:03
2206, lots of mediocre scores this week

Captain Risky · 28/05/2017 at 20:05
2209 with Lloyds 4. Seems about par from the scores here.

Gaz · 28/05/2017 at 20:08
2325 very happy

Hoot · 28/05/2017 at 20:18
great score

Swans2012 · 28/05/2017 at 20:15
2250 inc lloyd

Randomcliche2 · 28/05/2017 at 20:49
did very considering #treloar is back

IntheNickofTime · 28/05/2017 at 20:17
2183 but that's with LLoyd's 4. Ouch. Such regret at trading out Otten this week, and not having Stewart on field.

Doggy · 28/05/2017 at 20:17
Going into Saturday nights games with a projection over 2400, edged up with 2170.

Hoot · 28/05/2017 at 20:18
2236 some shockers from GOLDY JJK FYE NANK ( but im assuming those in the top 1000 also have most of them as well 🙂 )

TOPHAWK1 · 28/05/2017 at 19:49
Dont you just love it donks. Every Sunday throws up curveballs. JJK going down will give me BIG headaches in my forward line this week. I have Eddy, Butler, JJK, Parsons, and it is bye unfriendly at the same time. I will have to use all my 3 trades this week to fix it. Fortunately all my other lines are ready for the byes without injury issues. Still, it will be a battle to get things sorted. Cheers mate.

SCdonkey · 28/05/2017 at 20:03
Sure does TH!! Here i was thinking on Saturday morning that my luck is going my way. Finally got lucky with VC. Then Lloyd goes down seconds into the first bounce. Said to myself don't panic, stay calm only one player and it's not a major injury he'll be back after his bye, trade is save.
Sunday was looking great until The Eagles and Giants game Priddis and JJK both under 50 points at half time. 3rd Quarter they started to lift, yeah boys keep going nekminit JJK goes down and Priddis stop, Shaw somehow was in a stand still like a damn statue getting pooped by the seagulls.
FMSCL!!

TOPHAWK1 · 28/05/2017 at 20:30
Hahaha. Heater turned into a statue and got crapped on by seagulls! Pretty much sums it up mate.
Also, just in case you don't know, (But I know you do) you knocked me off by 4 points. Jake Lloyd's score!
Bloody glad I did not play you this week. I would have got beat.
And you wanted to quit SC last week!! I hope my little pep talk helped last week. Stay tough and stay strong. A week is a long time in footy!
Cheers

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 22:27
You scored a Bingo score….all the 2's hahah, not bad this week Donk, better than me at 2198…I also had Lloyd.

Ja191 · 28/05/2017 at 20:10
bont in a few weeks will be mine, scotty selwood could be a good option too

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 20:18
Joel Selwood is cheap same as Pendles

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 20:02
2206 lots of mediocre performances

Donny · 28/05/2017 at 20:01
Liking the look of Selwood Top Gun!

Top Gun · 28/05/2017 at 20:15
Same Donny. Saves plenty of cash. Just not sure he will average what an ultra premo will.

Donny · 28/05/2017 at 20:16
Yeah agreed

hedski · 28/05/2017 at 20:38
Scooter maybe, Zaha = BURN.

Tommo09 · 28/05/2017 at 20:45
Scooter at best is M8 and averages 105 and at worst we trade him out in 5-7 weeks at 450-500k

Jigglyblues · 28/05/2017 at 20:55
Big call

Doggy · 28/05/2017 at 20:19
I had all the same players on field , apart from fisher

Dutchy · 28/05/2017 at 21:45
Fair effort

SF4 · 28/05/2017 at 20:35
Hold Taranto until he's bye I think, has been in great form last couple of weeks.

JohndJames · 29/05/2017 at 00:06
Balic to Greenwood works,SSP to which premo ?,Pendles is good value. Keep Taranto will make a good M9 or F7.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 22:25
I'll take that….if you're giving it away. 🙂

FEARTHEBEARD · 29/05/2017 at 11:22
2376 wins 😀

FEARTHEBEARD · 29/05/2017 at 11:22
With no sandi balls

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 20:36
I wouldn't recommend any

Randomcliche2 · 28/05/2017 at 20:42
Higgins was under, not sure what his new price will be….

Randomcliche2 · 28/05/2017 at 20:45
Tom J Lynch might be shortly….

hedski · 28/05/2017 at 21:58
Frenzal Rhomb said something similar.
"All we need is, all we need is, all we need iiiisss,
is a punch in the face".

Jigglyblues · 28/05/2017 at 21:06
Selwood

Ja191 · 28/05/2017 at 21:06
dependlebury

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 21:24
Selwood because of his bye round. That's the only thing splitting them

hedski · 28/05/2017 at 21:59
Both.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 21:10
Sounds solid Jiggly..go for it.

Tyruddanaut · 28/05/2017 at 21:35
Which forward are you thinking of

JigglyBlues · 28/05/2017 at 21:42
Maybe Lynch, wanted Greene cheap but he had a cracker today

JigglyBlues · 28/05/2017 at 21:51
sorry miscalculated, can get any forward.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 21:58
How much do have for a forward?

JigglyBlues · 28/05/2017 at 22:02
can get any forward

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 22:17
Sounds like you REALLY miscalculated lol, can I suggest not trading out SPP and not caring so much about this upcoming round?…cause SPP is good cover for the byes, and usually everyone has one bad bye round.
You'd be better off trading someone else out if you really want Scooter, someone who's not playing.

JigglyBlues · 28/05/2017 at 22:27
dont need Spp for cover next two weeks

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 23:34
Sort your shit out…before you ask for advice, otherwise you're just wasting people's time.

Jigglyblues · 28/05/2017 at 23:48
Sorry, the byes are stressing me out man

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 00:06
It's all good mate, Scooter, Greenwood and Greene are good trades….3 this week is good if this is your weakest week, see my latest post…rip me to shreds if you like hahah

JohndJames · 28/05/2017 at 23:59
Both SPP and Taranto are playing this round,why trade them,just do the Balic to Greenwood trade.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 22:24
I don't think so Liam, they are both capable of much better than they've shown so far. I think you just need to be patient, once they turn things around it'll be points city.

lok · 28/05/2017 at 21:27
danger or your years over

Stanks21 · 28/05/2017 at 21:37
And how exactly can i get him in?? Dont think my years over haha

Hawkas2017 · 28/05/2017 at 21:40
Cash?

Stanks21 · 28/05/2017 at 21:46
Only 35,600 after upgrading last week.

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 21:49
You won't be able to get full premo for a while as you have no cash cows ready for slaughter

Stanks21 · 28/05/2017 at 21:58
Barrett, VW and Stewart are very close. Should i wait on them??

Roscoe from StKilda · 29/05/2017 at 15:22
Just move out Barrett for Scooter.

Stanks21 · 29/05/2017 at 15:29
Scott Selwood?

Hawkas2017 · 28/05/2017 at 21:39
Scott selwood and Hugh Greenwood for byes and cash generation while still gaining points McRae has bye this week

Top Gun · 28/05/2017 at 23:02
Jelwood

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 21:51
Rumours going around that Balic may get named but nothing concrete. Heard Dimma saying that Butler should be fit to go this week so it's just a matter of him making the team.

Hawkas2017 · 28/05/2017 at 21:54
Thank You defying madness

Tyruddanaut · 28/05/2017 at 22:04
Trade one out. Greenwood and Bolton look good

JigglyBlues · 28/05/2017 at 22:11
Getting Greenwood for Balic if he doesnt get named. Dont really like Bolton as a trade in option

Cogla13 · 29/05/2017 at 08:35
Bolton is better than a donut. Also Cunico from Geelong is an option.

TBone · 28/05/2017 at 21:59
Good team. that trade makes sense to me!

Tyruddanaut · 28/05/2017 at 22:03
Taranto does not have much cash left in him BUT has the succulent R12 bye. Drop him next week.
As for trades, Wines is bottomed out. Barrett to Wines would mean that you have a fresh body for all rounds including this one. Simply trade Balic out to a rookie and it's done.
If you want SS so bad, just trade SPP. You're pretty much set for the byes and the trade won't do much. The R12 bye is the easiest to cover, which SS has, and he can also play the hardest to cover, R13. I know it's not going to be popular but SPP has bottomed out

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 22:08
Isn't taranto round 13 bye?

JigglyBlues · 28/05/2017 at 22:09
Yep

Cogla13 · 29/05/2017 at 08:36
Correct.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 22:03
What don't you care about?…and Congratulations 🙂

Sam · 28/05/2017 at 22:08
The tag ahaha

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 22:13
He'll figure it out, he's too good not to.

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 22:05
Might get knocked out for Butler this week. But he looked pretty good so I think he should play this week

Cogla13 · 29/05/2017 at 08:37
Someone has to make way for Butler but he's playing well enough to hold his spot.

Dildor · 29/05/2017 at 08:58
I'm feeling he will, at least for one more. Butler will get his recall this week and feel that it maybe rioli could do with a week off, its easy to forget that its his second year, although with the bye coming they may elect to let him rest that week. Can't imagine Elton getting another game and im which case we could see some more mids resting forward opening a spot for Shia there, watch team sheet closely.

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 22:08
Too expensive for me, so many better options. Selwood, Pendles and Bont to name a few cheapies

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 22:19
I thought you couldn't afford to do that?

JigglyBlues · 28/05/2017 at 22:21
Na had 23k left over that i didnt account for

SF4 · 28/05/2017 at 22:34
Can probably hold TT until hes bye.

JigglyBlues · 28/05/2017 at 22:37
Or if balic is named i could go SPP down to Greenwood, swing Taranto into mid, balic FWD and trade in Joel

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 22:41
Be careful with that round 13 bye

JohndJames · 29/05/2017 at 00:35
I'd keep Taranto for now. Balic to Greenwood works or if Balic is named could go SSP to Greenwood instead.

Top Gun · 28/05/2017 at 23:00
You only need 18

Defying_Madness · 28/05/2017 at 22:44
Just go until you get full premo

Top Gun · 28/05/2017 at 22:59
Go for it!

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 23:44
Yes, use up all your trades chasing points and then be fck'd when you get unexpected injuries…like JJK this week.

wombatsfc · 29/05/2017 at 00:31
Go for it Ben. You can't win if you plan for failure. To be ranked so high you obviously have a good team, don't save trades for just in case make your team even better because most of the 860 in front of you will be. Good luck mate.

Top Gun · 28/05/2017 at 22:59
Unless he becomes a keeper. Had 34 tackles combined the last two weeks.

SF4 · 28/05/2017 at 23:30
I'm looking to bring him in, super cheap and if he can average 90 odd from here he will make some cash and be able to be turned into a premium soon.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 23:42
It's more about the points he can score YOU rather than the cash he can make…he could be a keeper if he stays healthy.

wombatsfc · 29/05/2017 at 00:38
He's a good way out if you need to turn Fyffe into Sloan or some other who'll be a top 6 mid Chris. Scoring at a premo level for an expensive rookie price

wombatsfc · 29/05/2017 at 00:41
Yeah I can't understand what that says a mouse must have ran across the keyboard when I getting a beer.

Randomcliche2 · 29/05/2017 at 11:23
Time to focus on the points as its the pointy end of the season… I'm already full premo mid but buying him to loop with Fyfe post byes or provide invaluable injury cover. He+Greenwood are the best buys this week by a fair margin. His brother is probably the next best buy if you're looking for a premo.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 23:40
Bolton…or Greenwood.

wombatsfc · 29/05/2017 at 00:44
Bolton this week if you need to kill a cow and then Cousins next week after he's played 2 games.

wombatsfc · 29/05/2017 at 01:03
Assuming you already have greenwood. But, you only need 18 players for next 3 weeks so you don't need a bench save the trades

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 23:47
Congratulations!…he should feel so honoured…It's a no brainer really if you're trading out a spud for him, he's proven, just has health issues in the past, if he stays healthy…no brainer.

Goat · 29/05/2017 at 08:37
Yep. SPS to SS fixes numbers for rd 11 and gives a hard body for the mid season.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 23:40
Who the hell is Connor Naish?….what are you talking about?

Hawkas2017 · 29/05/2017 at 00:08
Hawks player

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 00:11
Nash…maybe he should spell his name correctly then.

Goat · 29/05/2017 at 08:35
Sorry Russty_ It was a sarcastic vent about Shaw….

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 23:36
Worth what?…he's seriously worth shit imo…too inconsistent.

Randomcliche2 · 29/05/2017 at 11:28
It's the week to get him if you think he can bring it home…I think he can, but I'm buying sSelwood this week…..Wines was the plan till little selwood turned up….

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 00:23
Pendles, Freo are heading for Toiletsville.

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 23:36
1850 if you have 18 players playing.

Stinga · 28/05/2017 at 23:43
1863 aint to bad then

Russty_ · 28/05/2017 at 23:37
Good trade, both swallows are shite.

wombatsfc · 29/05/2017 at 00:46
Scooter is a great swap for any mid you have that's ave less than 102 Josh. Rusty's comment was extremely accurate.

Dean · 29/05/2017 at 16:14
Agree I think now that Scott Selwood is playing in the guts he is a great steppingstone for someone like a Swallow or even a Pepper for that matter and I am strongly considering it, he has a breakeven of negative 48 and is projected to increase $70k in price if he scores another ton.

SF4 · 28/05/2017 at 23:28
Option 1

Dean · 29/05/2017 at 20:43
Option 2 after analysing it all properly.
You need to have NANK in your FWD line ASAP, its a shame to have to bring in Strnadica now as it almost certainly seems like a wasted trade, however that being said you cannot have Nank, Sandy & Witts all in your ruck, that is literally a premo sitting on your bench as cover. Which you cannot have.
At first Option 1 seems alot better, however after looking at your entire team and not just the TWO options, NANK must come into your forward line, either that or trade Sandi out to a rookie ruckman if he doesn't get named this week.

poloko48 · 29/05/2017 at 21:21
Thanks Dean, was heading that way. I'm justifying it by saying I'm adding a premo to my fwds (Nank) lol! Also gives me extra cash to have spare when I do my next upgrade. The way things are every dollar's gonna count!

wombatsfc · 29/05/2017 at 00:25
3 trades for a net $ loss, no premos gained and still get a donut? I dunno Rusty it doesn't tick a lot of boxes mate

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 00:31
I know it doesn't seem like much mate, but I'm happy to be rid of two definite doughnuts and fishface who ain't much better…thinking about the big picture rather than the byes.
I'm not playing for overall ranking, rather just to win leagues..I hate having non events on my bench doing nothing..and making nothing…..hence..the decisions.

Wombatsfc · 29/05/2017 at 00:58
Donuts come in handy for loopholing Rusty. Maybe only dump two blue bench spuds for Scooter & greenwood and burn Fyffes ar$e for Jelwood

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 01:09
I'd love to mate, but think I'll have to wait on Fyfe, as crappishly as he's been going, I have Ivan Solvol for the spudly loophole role.

JohndJames · 29/05/2017 at 00:26
All three need to go,but the only in I like is Greenwood.

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 00:36
Anyone better you could recommend John?

JohndJames · 29/05/2017 at 00:49
Not really,they are all on the bubble,so you will make money,I like the look of Cousins 102,400 mid from the Hawks.

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 00:55
Oh yes Cousins had a good first game, I'll definitely consider him if Bolton doesn't make the cut. cheers mate.

JohndJames · 29/05/2017 at 01:07
Yes the ''only one game'' part of trading,probably why I will be waiting till the week after to get him in.Good luck Russty,this is also my worst bye round.

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 01:12
You too mate, If I do go ahead with 3 trades this round, I won't be trading for the next 2.

Sounds like you're stuff this rounded, so may as well go down in a burning heap. See if there is way you can bring in both Selwoods and Greenwood, by trading a more expensive spud than fisher….Or better still buy people who are having their bye this week and sSelwood to make the next two rounds even stronger. Count up the premos of your opponents for the 3 rounds and see which rounds you should target.

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 13:14
Cheers Random thanks for the feedback mate, food for thought this week.

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 00:20
17's all I could manage mate…still don't know if Bolton will play and Fisher is playing so…it felt like the best thing to do, still leaves me with 80 grand too.

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 01:13
Pendles in, should be a nice boost to your team John.

JohndJames · 29/05/2017 at 01:20
Yes I had planed to get Laird in this week,but looks like he could go down in price so went with Pendles who is on the way up at $300 cheaper.

wombatsfc · 29/05/2017 at 01:51
All 3 look like winners mate. You always feel a bit safer with Pendles in your team

JohndJames · 29/05/2017 at 02:12
I'll say Wombatsfc,its the first year I haven't started with him and was determined to get him in sometime,so it was fitting that Pendles was the one to get me to full mid premo.

wombatsfc · 29/05/2017 at 02:28
Yep that's the important line to fill up first then the backline by the look of things. I lucked out with fwds all the good ones that I didn't have are now broken or worn out.

JohndJames · 29/05/2017 at 01:40
Bloody good score,I only got 2163,but after Lloyd went down,I'll take that,my worst bye round coming up,looking at only 1580 score,but after that no problems,full premo in the mids after I get Pendles in this week,still work to do in defence,three to get there,and two more in the forwards.

Wombatsfc · 29/05/2017 at 01:50
Thanks John I've had an up and down season but somehow I'm looking real good for the byes as well. My mid is full prem with fyffe worst. Def only 3 prem but get Doch and Hibbbard next week. Fwd 6 Prem if you count steele. Sandi + Witts in ruck. Bench is ok to cover short injuries.
If I can leave it alone and only make single trade upgrades I should finish very strongly. After a few very ordinary years

JohndJames · 29/05/2017 at 01:46
Top 5% for me ranked 9616.I think we can all look back on some trades and think what the hell did I do that for,most of mine have been spud rookies that I traded in,most of the ones I started with have been alright.

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 01:59
I did some pretty boneheaded trades too Wombats and I'm still in the top 2%…hahah, keep listening to your instinct mate…it's usually the right call.

JohndJames · 29/05/2017 at 02:25
Not too bad Russty,Smith to Newman and O'Meara to Oliver the best.Beams to Pendles and Treloar to Yeo about even,the only bad one would be Roughy to Fisher.but you still made money on that,so maybe not too bad.

wombatsfc · 29/05/2017 at 02:25
Houston for Pederson and Jom for Oliver were OK and you could never call a Beams with quad injury to Pendle at 577 a bad trade

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 02:39
Cheers guys, I know I made a few blues, probably should've kept Roughy longer, and Treloar to Yeo..maybe not so great in hindsight but at the time he'd posted 3 75's in 4 weeks so…Pederson was a big gamble..and will need to be moved out soon, Beams out also, not the best call, but I really wanted Pendles, cause he's the man. 🙂

poloko48 · 29/05/2017 at 07:10

Yeah I hear ya poloko…you've certainly been trading your ass off mate, you got some nice ins though with Newman, Pendles, Rance, Heeney, Howe and Selwood 🙂 I'm suprised you hung onto Fox for so long but that being said, I still have Hibberd lol

poloko48 · 29/05/2017 at 16:29
Yeah had other priorities and was kinda hoping he'd get a run for just 1 or 2 more weeks, but no such luck lol.

Dean · 29/05/2017 at 21:03
Ya want BONEHEAD trade history, here it is, BONEHEAD trades of the year.
I'm still having nightmares of trading out Hanners for Heppell and Lynch to Heeney to a lesser extent.

OUT Hoskin-Elliott ($380,900) IN Martin ($528,400)
ROUND 9
OUT Lynch ($491,300) IN Heeney ($491,600)

OUT Hannebery ($616,800) IN Heppell ($513,300)
Moral of the story, it pay's off to make bonehead trades it seems because most of us boneheads are in top 1% or 2% which is really crazy.

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 22:53
Why did you trade out Hanners in round 3 Dean?..just wondering, but hell, if you're in the top 2% who cares?…lol.

JohndJames · 29/05/2017 at 12:56
Hey Russty,it will take too long to type the whole lot in so I'll just give you the good bad and ugly.In the top 5% Ranked 9616,my best rank has been 3761 in round 3.So the trades,Round 3 sideways trade,Shaw 576,500 to Adams 527,800,Crouch 504,600 to Bont 586,100.Round 6 big stuff up trade but I needed the cash,Martin 585,300 to Fisher 117,300,Roughead 385,200 to Balic 123,900.Round 9 upgrade trade,Hampton 287,700 to Hanners 560,600,Eddy 141,900 to Mitchell 578,200.Round 10 injury to Sandy trade,Preuss 262,700 to Ryder 493,300.So those are the main trades that I did,in the end I am happy I got Adams and Bont early and even though trading out Dusty was just plain stupid I was able to get Hanners and Mitch later on because of it.So 17 trades later,I still have three players to get in defence,am full premo in the mids after trading in Pendles this week and still two to get in the forwards,so I have burned about two trades more than I should have at this stage.

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 13:38
Hey John, I reckon the Shaw to Adams one was a good call mate in hindsight, people would've thought you were crazy at the time haha, I think Martin was spudding it at the time which is probably why you decided to ditch him then, I'm jealous of your ins with Hanners and Tom Mitchell…I still don't have them.
Just gotta hope we don't get too many injuries like JJK this week now.

JohndJames · 29/05/2017 at 18:23
Hey Russty yea I'm a bit worried that I only have 13 trades left,the trades I mentioned above didn't bother me since they led to improving the team,it was some of the rookies I traded in,that did nothing and had to be got rid of in the end that annoys the hell out of me,wasted trades in and out.

Dildor · 29/05/2017 at 09:01
Consider Dusty if you dont have him and fits your bye rounds.

James · 29/05/2017 at 09:12
Yeah I already have dusty, i have limited my options to the three listed.

Tibor · 29/05/2017 at 10:39
I like both Pendles and Selwood they get a very nice run of cheap free kicks that boosts output. Maybe take Selwood first because he just racks them up with upcoming games at tax payer stadium

INPieman · 29/05/2017 at 09:35
Well played Neil. Otten on the bench cost me BIG TIME

neil Demons Delight · 29/05/2017 at 12:45
don't know why my comment was deleted just asking why Jock doesn't have bad luck three times he has pipped me and I had scores like Lloyd s The great one doesn't have bad luck and Otten was very good pies I culled him this week and had Stewart with the E SEE YOU IN THE FINALS I hope cheers

TOPHAWK1 · 29/05/2017 at 09:15
You are working your way into a nice position for the business end of the season. Most of your rookies are playing, thus generating cash and building a juicy war chest at the same time. I have some challenges in my forward line with JJK going down and still having the likes of Butler and Eddy, and spud Parsons. Hopefully Butler will get a game this week, but Parsons will probably get the chop. Still have 18 trades up my sleeve so I will trade away to fix it. Other lines are perfectly balanced. Currently ranked around 2400 and am hoping to build momentum from here to finish in the top 500. Cheers

Magoo · 29/05/2017 at 10:23
I realise Newman has the bye this week but he has money to make yet

The Ranger · 29/05/2017 at 10:46
I'm in a similar position Derek, only got 5/20. In hindsight I was too conservative with my premo selections.
Got 2278 this week with Ablett on the pine so hoping I might have turned a corner.

Derek · 29/05/2017 at 12:17
i stuck with the old guard and it has hurt. my first upgrades were in defence, got rance, Simpson and Shaw, should have been upgrading the mids and forwards instead of having crap rookies onfield.

The Ranger · 29/05/2017 at 12:39
Yeah the old guard didn't repay the faith eh Derek?
At one point I had Titch, Neale and Bont in my preseason team but ended up with JPK, Hanners and Pendles thinking they were a safer bet. I'm pretty sure all three of them will come good but it put me way, way behind the leaders and you just can't get back near the top once those initial choices are proved wrong.

TOPHAWK1 · 29/05/2017 at 09:22
Trade out Parfitt and Hampton for two bubble rooks. Both injured and of no further use. Trade out Newman to generate some big dollars for a premo upgrade.

Mark · 29/05/2017 at 10:27
Would you upgrade or downgrade Newman? I would like to upgrade but there arent any defenders that suit my bye structure.
My thoughts atm was that i could do:
Hampton down to Scharenberg, Fisher to bolton (if named) and Parfitt up to selwood.
Doing these trades would get me to the 18 players, but would unfortunately only leave me with 75k, which isnt ideal.

ProTravo · 29/05/2017 at 13:28
75k may not be ideal but at least your setting up some sort of cash flow for the upcoming rounds.

INPieman · 29/05/2017 at 09:36
Best 18 in all 3 of byes. If you can get 18 onto the park!

neil Demons Delight · 29/05/2017 at 12:30
captains the same

Ja191 · 29/05/2017 at 10:26
Pendles, sloane with be tagged for the rest of the year

Tibor · 29/05/2017 at 10:34
Pendles for certain. He and j Selwood get a great run from the umpires and easy points are gold.

Rob · 29/05/2017 at 10:59
What about Selwood or Pendles

Wal · 29/05/2017 at 13:24
Pendles

Doc · 29/05/2017 at 10:28
*hold

Danny · 29/05/2017 at 10:32
Maybe Cameron?

hedski · 29/05/2017 at 11:03
Ryan at freo should get a gig soon.

Whitey · 29/05/2017 at 12:28
With Josh Kennedy going down, McInnes might get another chance.

Captain Risky · 29/05/2017 at 11:09
Might as well wait until his bye. Clangers cost him last week, couldn't do much worse than that you would think.

INPieman · 29/05/2017 at 11:41
13 clangers out of 25 touches. I'm staggered he even scored 50

Wal · 29/05/2017 at 13:01
Plenty in that boat mate, reckon you should be right with all of those with the exception of maybe Butler

neil Demons Delight · 29/05/2017 at 12:27
great choices trig Sloane would be good but neal better

Derek · 29/05/2017 at 12:23
Parsons is playing this week. do you need to keep him?

neil Demons Delight · 29/05/2017 at 12:25
I think there are 4 players suss but as you say in your eyes and if money was there would be different. in my team I would prefer pendles but have wallis and later bont who is as good as pendles coming home. But back to yours Steele Heeney Beams and Shaw are your only bad choices or second best choices if you like. I would have Lloyd Bont Franklin and Lynch OMO but none the less great winning team IN my team I don't have DOC ADAMS SLOAN or PENDLES wish I did though cheers mate

FEARTHEBEARD · 30/05/2017 at 08:54
Thanks for feedback mate.
Started with Steele & Shaw & Beams.
Heeney I think is as good as Franklin personally.

SCdonkey · 29/05/2017 at 12:21
Who would've known Llyod will gone down within the opening of game. He has consistent all year, you made a right choice, we've just been unlucky mate.

Rick Grimes · 29/05/2017 at 13:16
There was no way of knowing, but like the scouts, be prepared. I could easily have loopholed and just didn't bother.

SCdonkey · 29/05/2017 at 13:39
I see what you mean now. Just had a look at your team full premo defense with Mbank and smith on the bench.

Rick Grimes · 29/05/2017 at 14:02
I think you're being generous labelling Shaw a "premo". I sure wish i could have that trade back…

ProTravo · 29/05/2017 at 12:56
I was thinking the same with taking Stewarts score via loophole instead of Newman or Heater.
Backed in Newman and Heater who both scored less.
You just can't pick it, lots of luck involved in SC.

Derek · 29/05/2017 at 12:20
are you talking about Newman?
i have one keeper to get in defence, has been reserved for Docherty next week. newman out this week.

Touk tuk · 29/05/2017 at 12:40
Yup… newman..

Rick Grimes · 29/05/2017 at 13:13
Heater, surely he'll come good. Had 52 points at HT. At some stage they're gonna let him off the leash and I intend being there to pocket that 170.

Rick Grimes · 29/05/2017 at 13:14
Toss a coin, both great picks.

Cogla13 · 29/05/2017 at 16:33
Too many round 11 bye players, I counted 12 plus Preuss/Strnadica means a donut. Suggest you trade out someone like Fisher or Hannan. Butler should play this week as will SPP.

Dean · 29/05/2017 at 23:15
Yes can't you trade a fattened rookie and bring in someone like Greenwood or Scharenberg or McInnis to generate more cash so you can pick a ultra premium player.
Don't go just wasting trades on the highest rated player you can afford coz your ranking will reach 9000 overall real fast.

Goat · 29/05/2017 at 23:43
Glad to hear you are in the top tier. If like me you are not this is a very sensible trade. Gunston started at 500k. You are getting an improving player at a 20% discount.

Russty_ · 29/05/2017 at 23:13
I like option 1 the best but maybe not McInnes, as he may not play…someone else instead of him if you can.

JohndJames · 29/05/2017 at 23:14
Hi Dean,option one for me,but if McInnes isn't named I would still trade out Hampton,instead of Marchbank.

Dean · 30/05/2017 at 21:00
What other players are there to consider bringing in?

JohndJames · 30/05/2017 at 22:26
I would go with Hampton to Scharenberg and Fisher to Greenwood.
