Didn't see an opponent on him either

manolaki · 06/06/2017 at 11:55
He won't score three goals every week or play the Bombers every week

Barrel · 06/06/2017 at 13:30
Still easily top six. 4 tons, 5 scores in the 90s – only twice scored below 85. Already performing at much high level than last year.

SC_Kev7 · 05/06/2017 at 13:26
As Marchbank has already had his bye I'd go with Otten
Yeah, he's done. Lycett is just about ready to go isn't he? His JS was very shaky to begin with.
Who would you drop to get him in, Jim?

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 13:27
McInness went back on the rookie list. He's done. Port got rid of their injury list as it wasn't being used. And with that went Brett Eddy's chance of a game. The only player they are missing is The Chad. And he's due back shortly

joe · 05/06/2017 at 15:59
Eddy and McInnes are both done … and I bought both of them.
McInnes will not see playing time unless Petrie and Lycett get hurt again. Even if Eddy were still on the senior list, he's behind Monfries in the pecking order. Time to dump them both when possible.

Ethan · 05/06/2017 at 16:28
they don't quite play the same role in the team monfries and eddy

Jim · 05/06/2017 at 20:59
Dropping Mcinnes for Scharenberg this week

manolaki · 06/06/2017 at 11:56
Otten has to go with bye coming up.
McInnes won't play this year again unless Eagles have a few injuries.
I got rid of Eddy last week. Not sure what he needs to do to get a game but he obviously isn't doing enough

Defying_Madness · 06/06/2017 at 12:19
Breaking his teamates legs would be a start

lok · 05/06/2017 at 21:31
that doesn't mean much.

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 21:49
Neither do people's guesses.

TheScacman · 05/06/2017 at 21:30
No order
Backs Docherty, Adams, Laird, Roberton and two of Williams, Rance, Hurley or Tuohy.
Forwards Yeo-yo, Kennedy, Franklin, Macrae, Lynch, Cameron/Dixon/Dahlhaus

lok · 05/06/2017 at 21:31
Lloyd

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 21:36
I don't think Franklin will finish top 6 this year.

manolaki · 06/06/2017 at 11:59
Your guess is as good as mine.
I think Laird Doc Adams Hibberd Lloyd and maybe Robertson or Williams.
Forward other than Yeo Dahl and McCrae I can't pick them. I am not a fan of key forwards. I have Nank and Steele still so I am hoping they improve to 100 avg and become keepers

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 13:22
Agree Kev. Get to full premo & if you have 8+ trades consider it. But injuries will come & so will regret

TRIGGER HAPPY · 05/06/2017 at 17:24
Fyfe to dusty Rd 13
Hmmmm trigger finger poised 🙂

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 17:26
I have my trigger finger on Fyfe to Jelwood/ Martin also, if he plays shit this weekend he is gone.

manolaki · 06/06/2017 at 12:01
Agree. Keep until your team is full and assess. I hope Fyfe and Shaw average 110 for the rest of the season and prove the haters wrong

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 16:56
Lynch and Franklin.

Ben · 05/06/2017 at 14:52
Wait a week is the way to go in terms of $.. SPP should go up and Bont should come down.

manolaki · 06/06/2017 at 12:02
You could go SPP to JPK. Still very low and great scoring potential

Defying_Madness · 06/06/2017 at 12:14
I like this better. Wallis may have had an impact on a few dogs players including Bont. Wait to see him go big again first.

Winter · 06/06/2017 at 17:22
Already got JPK mate, started with the beast

Soothsayer · 06/06/2017 at 13:40
And then he bangs out a 121!!! It seems that his score is role dependent.

jez_m · 05/06/2017 at 13:40
I think we've seen the last of Priddis as a Supercoach player unfortunately. West Coast do play some home games after their bye though so if you can hold him for a bit longer and work on getting the rest of your team finalised, I'd probably do that.

Derek · 05/06/2017 at 14:48
4 out of 5 games after bye are at home.

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 13:45
Lycett due back shortly. He's ben lacking a decent Ruck tapping it to him. I'd wait to see if that changes things

Dice · 05/06/2017 at 14:08
Yeah Hally, had him all year and he's been disappointing. Lost $115,000 since round 1 – come at me Tom Rockliff

KrazeeEyezK1lla · 05/06/2017 at 14:35
I like the Zorko trade. lots of upside

pod · 05/06/2017 at 14:57
If Rocky returns Zorko scoring might fall.

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 15:04
Rocky & Zorko have pigged out together before. Many times

Sana · 05/06/2017 at 16:20
I've got him too mate. Makes Fyfe owners look lucky. I'm gonna hold him til I'm full premo, then if im still trade rich I'll ditch him if he hasn't improved

Daniel Z · 06/06/2017 at 06:13
I started with fyfe and priddis. It's been that kind of year.

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 10:39
Both could come home really strong, only just halfway through the season and they are still fit and on the ground every week.

Wedge · 06/06/2017 at 11:22
Go on footywire and have a look at priddis sc breakdown for the year. It'll make you feel a bit more confident that he can still pump out decent scores. Three in a row last year rnd 5-8 I think about 80 or 70 average scored and then pretty much tons for the rest of the season.

Wedge · 06/06/2017 at 11:27
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/players/year.php?first…
This link should be a nice easy way to view his 2016 sc scores

pod · 05/06/2017 at 14:03
Nice trades jez, Wines is excellent value.

Derek · 05/06/2017 at 14:52
I would think about trading out SPP instead of Eddy.
Have a heap more cash
If you are full premium midfield having SPP cash on bench is a waste. He isn't DPP so you can use him.
Plus you keep your DPP player in your midfield to swing with.

jez_m · 05/06/2017 at 15:35
I did think about that Derek, but without SPP I don't have 18 players for round 13. I'm hoping Callum Brown from Collingwood or another mid rookie gets a run this week so I can trade SPP after round 13. Also have Stewart or EVW to trade down to Luke Ryan soon too hopefully.

Derek · 05/06/2017 at 17:18
fair enough. I'm keeping SPP until after round 13 for same reason.
Even if you have to trade him down to a non-playing DPP rookie (have a decent bench cover for forward line) and swing Dahl or macCrea into mids if you need. can't have that much cash on bench if they arn't a DPP

jez_ · 05/06/2017 at 17:37
Great minds think alike, Derek! I've had to move my DPP's forward (Greenwood and Bolton) for trades and to make sure I can field as many players as possible. I've got SPP, Myers, Cousins, Parsons, Bolton and Greenwood as my midfield and forward rookies at the moment. One of those DPP's will end up back in my mids at some point though

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 16:58
Wines averages 100 every year, reasonable value.

manolaki · 06/06/2017 at 13:49
Looks good.
Wines is great value.
The other bloke is right though you can generate more cash from SPP or make a shorter jump

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 14:16
On the bubble nope. But Jay Kennedy Harris had an astonishing 47 touches & 8 tackles on the weekend. 162k with a BE of 30. That's a desperate option. With the Pies injuries the door is open for Callum Brown 117k Mid/Fwd & Kayle Kirby 117k to get a crack

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 16:58
Why does every new rookie have to have the round 13 bye. I might even have to consider Brodie from GC at this point

Rocksta · 05/06/2017 at 18:25
I reckon Callum Brown is a shoe in to debut this week.
Hopefully he goes alright and we can bring him in for Parsons in a few weeks.

Stirlsy · 05/06/2017 at 19:30
Bring on Fatso 6 in the magoo's but i hope they keep him on ice till next year…

neil Demons Delight · 05/06/2017 at 20:10
Boltons got his eye on jkh wouldn't touch him personally but if you.re desperate Brown might be better had him in my first team cheers

joe · 05/06/2017 at 16:23
There are none unless you haven't already got Greenwood.

IRRELEVANT · 05/06/2017 at 16:49
Unless you have any MID rookies (Greenwood) in MID and swing them FWD to get James Cousins (HAW).

TRIGGER HAPPY · 05/06/2017 at 14:32
No sure why the rush to get to full premo by Rd 13 unless going for overall?
Be nice but with the majority of rookie crap just not gonna happen.
Gotta squeeze every cent of your rooks and pounce on fallen premo at their bottom price.
As mccrae has a high b/e and Barrett a low b/E will do that trade to 13 maybe even Rd 14. Should be at least $60k better off.
So I'd wait.

Mike · 05/06/2017 at 14:42
Great cheers for the help mate!

joe · 05/06/2017 at 16:24
Well,he will probably go down by about $10,000 next week. Is that more important than getting his points? Up to you.

jez_m · 05/06/2017 at 14:31
Lynch for mine

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 16:59
Lynch

neil Demons Delight · 05/06/2017 at 20:13
I have both but think wallis will go big

jez_m · 05/06/2017 at 14:46
He served me well last year, but I'm glad I didn't start with him this year. I'd probably trade. Hawks play GCS, Adel, Coll, GWS and Geelong in their next 5 games and I doubt the ball will be in the forward line much for at least three of those games which doesn't bode well for his scoring.

BrownlowBoy · 05/06/2017 at 14:48
He needs his own category, he's actual garbage.

jez_m · 05/06/2017 at 15:38
Yeah he's really struggled this year. As a Hawks fan it's pretty obvious he needs a good team around him to perform from a SC point of view and Hawthorn don't have that at the moment

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 15:05
That's one premo I would dismiss ASAP

TRIGGER HAPPY · 05/06/2017 at 15:07
Premo?
Historical only.

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 16:21
Yep Trig. Premo turned Mid Procer

Danners · 05/06/2017 at 19:06
If you have plenty of trades, maybe use him as F7, otherwise wield the axe

KrazeeEyezK1lla · 05/06/2017 at 14:47
Docherty is missing from your defence. would make him a priority, regardless of price

Nate · 05/06/2017 at 15:34
Cheers Crazee. Was thinking maybe Parsons/Eddy to Franklin and Newman to Doch. Definitely wanting to bring in Doc and Hibberd (Melb) this week too!

KrazeeEyezK1lla · 05/06/2017 at 16:11
I'd take a punt on Buddy if I didn't already have him. nearly averaging 96 currently in a team that's under performed. I think Swans will win a decent amount of games coming home and push for finals, and Buddy will be in the thick of it.
(go Swans)

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 17:00
I think Heeney over Franklin is a better option

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 17:11
Nah, Franklin proven.

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 17:14
He also has 6 games under 85

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 17:18
He's also played 10 games though. Franklin cheaper than Heeney and ok BE. No doubt Heeney is a gun.

Nate · 05/06/2017 at 18:02
cheers guys. Im thinking Franklin myself though. Would love to get Yeo but feel safer picking up Buddy this week instead of Yeo next week

jez_m · 05/06/2017 at 15:46
If you can field 18 players for for Round 13 (and you can afford it), I'd go Stewart to Docherty, Sandi to Martin and SPP to Bont

Top Gun · 05/06/2017 at 18:35
Parsons to Dixon, SPP to Dusty or Kelly, Newman to Doch. Welcome

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 17:01
Highly considering this move also. Only problem is I have to make another trade to get this done.

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 17:02
Kreuzer could end up top ruck

Swans2012 · 05/06/2017 at 19:18
This is what I'm thinking Krazee, kreuzer has often threatened to live up to his potential, could this be the year? If sandi is out this week I'm thinking I'll do it…Now don't mention it again……#shhhhhhh

A. Sandilands · 06/06/2017 at 02:10
There's no way I'm risking squeezing myself into the cab to the airport let alone 4 hours in a plane i can't even stand full height in. Trade me, grab someone else, I've served my purpose this year and am happy to finish with a low 90 average from here.

Bells · 06/06/2017 at 08:21
I reckon you go large post bye with 100 plus average. Holding.

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 10:38
Dont want him to hurt that hammy mid game after all the good scores and profit hes provided. Glad i dumped him before the so called one week off.

randomcliche · 06/06/2017 at 13:20
Heya big fella, thanks for the update….but where were you last week? Your team mate Dac Zawson is on here all the time when we need an update on his long-term and short-term prospects… Follow his lead, an exemplary AFL player and community member!

manolaki · 06/06/2017 at 14:14
Sandi to end up top 3-4 ruckman. Statement!

Randomcliche2 · 06/06/2017 at 20:08
He is mince meat if he doesn't play this week. Gives a 50 to 100 point head start on all non rnd 13 bye rucks from here on out. And it bigger if you are faced with a donut.

TRIGGER HAPPY · 05/06/2017 at 15:04
Hey bolts looks like u have some serious DPP action going there.
Assume Nank into the ruck?

BoltonsBlues · 05/06/2017 at 15:30
Yeah im DPP happy at the moment, only swing i dont have is FWD/DEF
Sandi out > Nank ruck > Greenwood FWD > Cousins MID, ill lose FWD/MID swing this week, but will get it back when i trade SPP/Barret and move Greenwood back to the MID

Mike · 05/06/2017 at 15:04
Yeah no way he is flying all the way to Brizzy with a tight hammy. If he pings one then he could be out for months so it would be foolish for Freo to play him in a game they should win comfortably anyway. So we won't see him until after his bye now.

gator59 · 05/06/2017 at 15:01
Absolute gun… Gunnar look good in saints colours next year

ProTravo · 05/06/2017 at 15:03
I wish Hawks used the 2 first round picks to get him last year instead of the cripple O'meara.
Would look good in any colours.

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 17:02
I still think we (Hawthorn) might be aiming to get him. Expect an offload of players at the end of the year so salary shouldn't be a problem.

Derek · 05/06/2017 at 17:13
Tyrone must still be worth something 😉

Top Gun · 05/06/2017 at 18:38
Offload O'Meara, Tyrone, Gibson, Hodge, Burgoyne and then get Kelly. Lol.

redherringfc · 05/06/2017 at 19:01
Is this alongside Fyfe? I'll look forward to that.

gator59 · 05/06/2017 at 21:05
and may

Bells · 06/06/2017 at 08:24
He's going to the Swans.

lok · 05/06/2017 at 18:50
Great player.. had him in supercoach every year. Once he learns the full ropes of the inside game, then he can be compared to the likes of Danger, Sloane etc..

ProTravo · 06/06/2017 at 11:08
He will never be the inside player like a Danger or Sloane . . . just like they will never have his disposal efficiency. Still he wins a lot of contested ball and has a higher tackle count this season than Danger, Selwood Dusty ect. Ranked 17th in the comp.

joe · 06/06/2017 at 11:34
Am I the only person not sold on Kelly yet? He looks undersized for a dominant mid (and, at 22, should have built up his physique by now).
I'm not saying he ain't good. I just don't quite see an A+ in him yet. I look at him and see Bryce Gibbs, not Dangerfield.

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 17:05
By the time you get Docherty it will be 3/4 through the season, so what is the point?

DacZawson · 05/06/2017 at 15:41
Read on the AFL website that Ainsworth is almost back to full fitness, I'd do some more research about his possibility of getting a game before culling him

SC_Kev7 · 05/06/2017 at 15:55
Dahl

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 17:06
Dahl

Derek · 05/06/2017 at 17:11
Dahlaus

Lazza · 05/06/2017 at 18:56
You need 4 players to complete your fwd line

Daniel Z · 06/06/2017 at 06:34
I was thinking three.

#Pieinghigh · 06/06/2017 at 12:00
Have gone
Sandilands > Dahlhaus (via Ryder)
Next week will go Taranto > Yeo.
This will make my final team:
Adams, Laird, Roberton, Hibberd, Shaw, Stewart (to be turned into Lloyd in 2 weeks)
Danger, Mitchell, Pendles, J Selwood, Fyfe, Treloar, Hanneberry, Greenwood* (*Pending Barrett Upgrade in 2 weeks to fallen premo)
S Martin, Ryder
Yeo, Dahlhaus, Franklin, Steele, Heeney, Higgins
I am fine having Heeney at F5 and Higgins at F6. The only other one I would consider upgrading would be Steele but it is not a high priority.

Dean · 05/06/2017 at 19:29
Thats a pretty weak forward if its going to be your final 6 – Not having any of what look to be the top 6 defenders such as: Yeo, Macare, Dixon, Dahlhaus, Nank, Green and even Wallis is looking like a must have.
Wallis is currently the #1 forward based on averages as he is on 110 and Yeo on 107 – However Wallis has only played the two games so his average will drop, but he looks bloody awesome considering he's been out for a year.
Bring in Dahlhaus seeing he has had his bye.

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 20:48
Can't call Wallis a must have based on two rounds.

Max · 05/06/2017 at 20:50
Dahl

KrazeeEyezK1lla · 05/06/2017 at 16:07
why not? I like it

Cold_Case · 05/06/2017 at 16:31
Looks pretty good. He has averaged mid 80s to 90s last couple of years which includes some low injury affected scores. Be ready for some 130s and 80s in his scoring. What forward this year is any different though.

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 17:15
Nah. Hasn't even played more than 19 games in a season. Only averaged 100 once out of about 7 years.

Will · 05/06/2017 at 17:18
Im bringing him in this week.

Top Gun · 05/06/2017 at 18:51
I sense a trap!

SC_Kev7 · 05/06/2017 at 15:54
Fantastic move

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 16:30
Full Premo with Buddy as a spare & 11 trades. Great effort. Please post your team

Derek · 05/06/2017 at 17:10
im jealous

Dalvin · 05/06/2017 at 17:10
I'll have 9 trades if I do the buddy move next week, 11 at the moment:
Docherty, laird, roberton, shaw, Hibberd (Stewart, ryan)
Bont, Mitchell, danger, Sloane, treolor, dusty, Fyfe, Selwood (cousins, Maynard, greenwood)
Witts, sandi (strnadica)
Dahlhaus, yeo, nank, Steele, Wallis, heeney (Pickett, parsons)

Dalvin · 05/06/2017 at 17:14
And Adams also in defence

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 17:40
Very solid. Great effort. And yep I like the Buddy loop strategy. He can go massive. Steele will give you solid scores 80-115. if you can fund it you should consider turning Stewart into Lloyd & looping him with Shaw

Dalvin · 05/06/2017 at 17:49
Great idea Pieman.. I wasn't sure about it as the defence are more solid and reliable than the forwards this year but still worth t I guess.
That could take me to 7 trades.. do you think that's too low with 6-7 rounds leftmost just before finals?

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 18:16
If you trade Barrett to Mitch Hibberd you can use Lloyd as DPP cover as well. You can cover your midfield from both Fwd & Defence. That would also save you short term injury trades. You have Nank covering your Ruck line as well. Literally all bases covered & only need to trade for long term injuries

Dalvin · 05/06/2017 at 18:24
awesome, great idea indeed!
Thanks for the advice 🙂

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 18:34
No worries. If you win the 50k sling some this way

Northerner · 05/06/2017 at 21:06
Consider Oscar Junker over Hibberd that will save you extra $21k as an option.

Randomcliche2 · 05/06/2017 at 23:13
Beautiful team, well done. I'm 22 keeper this week, but we'll short of your 22. I'm running Sandi witts as well. And will be looking to add Gawn for a real full premo because once he's back I think you'll just want him. And yes I'm aiming for 24 premos as well with the same swing cover as pieman described. Great work bud.

Lazza · 05/06/2017 at 19:01
You don't have full premo with those rucks and Shaw. Still 3 short. Possibly 4 with Nankervis dropping off.

Lazza · 05/06/2017 at 19:22
So with 11 trades left to start this round means you max-traded every round.. interested to see your starting squad …

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 20:47
No it doesn't. All except one round.

Dean · 05/06/2017 at 19:32
Is your Selwood Joel or Scott?

neil Demons Delight · 05/06/2017 at 20:17
yeah I would like to see that seems too good but congratulations my friend

Dean · 05/06/2017 at 19:43
I think that's a crazy move.
Save the trade and if one of your forwards does end up injured or suspended then trade Buddy or who ever in, what happens if Buddy end's up injured. Not to mention it's not like he's B/E is 50 or low, its at 105, which is higher than his average.
Saving the trades could be the difference from finishing top 10 to top 5000 – We are only half way through the season and with 9 trades left I guarantee you'll struggle to finish in the top 1000

Derek · 05/06/2017 at 20:18
No
Do the fancy luxury trades once you have a full premium team.

BlueNath · 05/06/2017 at 21:20
Not to mention that you could only loophole buddy if Pickett/Carton were playing AFTER Sydney too. (Same as VW scenario suggested etc). Loopholing isn't always possible

Nate · 05/06/2017 at 15:41
Hey Tommo. I'm looking to bring Doc in too mate either this week or next. How much cash do you have for upgrades mate?

Sam_01 · 05/06/2017 at 16:34
You got Newman Stewart barret all ripe for the culling don't get to attached to any of them, surely you flipping greenwood in forward and put parsons on the bench, I went parsons up to lynch this week so glad to have the flog off my field

DavidSA · 05/06/2017 at 17:00
Yeah even though Stewart still has low BE I have to look at moving him on too for me to get to full premo this round

Tommo09 · 05/06/2017 at 18:46
Better to go Docherty or Dahl this round
Leaning towards Dahl as he is cheaper and hopefully Doch drops a bit in the next few weeks
If Docherty, do I trade Stewart or Newman?
And Myers or Barrett to Cousins?

Top Gun · 05/06/2017 at 19:02
Newman. Stewart BE is low, Newmans at 81

Tommo09 · 05/06/2017 at 18:39
Sorry have 14 trades and $241k left

Sam_01 · 05/06/2017 at 16:31
If you think he will be top 6 then go for it, personally have never considered him for SuperCoach

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 16:33
Sounds good to me

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 17:08
Not convinced with Wallis.

Mike · 05/06/2017 at 18:50
Has never been much of s Supercoach scorer. Just like Harbrow a few weeks ago I reckon he'll suck in plenty only to start pumping out 80s-90s.

DavidSA · 05/06/2017 at 16:58
Think his injuries may have reduced his potential much?
He is not running out games like he used to

Sam_01 · 05/06/2017 at 17:12
The week for me to go on wines is now will be a bit of a risky move if I do it, kinda just want someone to talk me into it haha! Will be full premo after this week bar tom Stewart who will need to go up to docherty after that is done I'll have 7 trades left at full premo

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 17:09
If you want a burn man go for it.

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 17:10
Fyfe is season ranked at 23 out of all players, really not that bad. One big score and he'll be right up there.

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 17:14
lol you're saving 14K? Surely you're trolling here?

Sam_01 · 05/06/2017 at 17:24
money is tight this year lads XD
Yeah look probably shouldn't do it
Fyfe is ranked 1st for clangers
with 5 a game and only averaging 26 disposals needs to pull his finger out

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 18:06
He could come home strong though, I'd wait till later in the season for such a luxury trade.

Sam_01 · 05/06/2017 at 18:23
yeah true thanks for talking sense into me lads

Stirlsy · 05/06/2017 at 17:42
Fyfe put to much of a preseason in, he was training long b4 the last season finished and his body shape and size has slowed him down because of it, but not giving a toss gee Sam dont know what you've been watching but i see the guy play every week and he is busting his guts to get to contests.
He will be much better next year just wait and see.

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 17:47
Great insight Stirlsy. He's not as sleek as he was. A bit top heavy

Stirlsy · 05/06/2017 at 18:07
Spot on Pieman He was even heavier early in season i think they are trying to lighten him off up top as the season goes, Should start with the man bun….. but yes was very easy to see he was the wrong body shape early in the season they might of wanted him like that other players have been through this and got it wrong but returned the year after back to their best.
He is at least a yard slower because of it.

neil Demons Delight · 05/06/2017 at 20:23
Goodwin will fix him up when he lobs but will he get a mid game

Who cares · 05/06/2017 at 22:47
Absolute rubbish..

Who cares · 05/06/2017 at 22:47
Absolute rubbish….

Top Gun · 05/06/2017 at 19:05
Waste of a trade

Sam_01 · 05/06/2017 at 21:04
If you watch the way danger goes after the pill with second and third efforts Fyfe doesn't compete. I dunno he just doesn't seem as influential as he used to be. He was bloody playing in the ruck for stints on the weekend haha

Stirlsy · 05/06/2017 at 23:51
I don't think he will return to the 120+ a game this year Sam, he is struggling ATM and it will be pretty much the same after his bye. The word all week in Perth was he and Sandi wouldn't play, so chances are he is sore or carrying something.
I'm not against the trade if your team is complete or you have trades to burn as i don't see him going better then 105 avg on the way home.

Randomcliche2 · 05/06/2017 at 23:30
I nearly pulled the pin this week, but didn't. Watched him and saw a bloke genuinely giving it a crack and doing a lot of team things, albeit not sc things like hitout to advantage in q4. He missed some marks he would have taken pre broken leg. Which I reckon is one reason for the drop off, ie negative points for dropped Mark instead of a mark and kick. If he starts clunking them again watch the F out, you'll want him. I'm looking elsewhere for my rnd 13 fix….smiles at Sandi and Roughy.

Sam_01 · 05/06/2017 at 23:46
Agree mr cliche, look fyfe is a star would be silly to trade him, gotta back in your premos I guess! he has to and will come around. Since rucks are so sketchy this year I'm gonna move nank into my ruck and trade sandy to yeo and roughy up to macrae.

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 23:50
I will be giving Fyfe this week to prove himself. I believe he still has it in him, but whether it is this year or the next I would have to say the latter.

Stanks21 · 05/06/2017 at 17:04
Na i cant at this stage. Just had a go

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 17:07
JPK. Always finishes the season strong

Sam_01 · 05/06/2017 at 17:13
JPK always comes home like a train, can't really go wrong with either jpk is a bit cheaper aswell I think I'd probably just go him

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 17:49
Slow down pod. Don't trade Nank. Surely you can ditch someone else

pod · 05/06/2017 at 18:19
Thanks INP, I'll keep him but having both Dahl & Macrae this week is soooo tempting.

redherringfc · 05/06/2017 at 17:59
Grab them both. Nank seems a luxury trade to do it, though.

pod · 05/06/2017 at 18:20
Cheers red I'll find a way.

Bruce Macavany · 05/06/2017 at 21:15
Only in my SPECIAL little note pad

Randomcliche2 · 05/06/2017 at 23:35
Dunno mate, asked a similar question last week. Fantasy insider anyone? AFL advanced stats? Help a bro out community!

hedski · 05/06/2017 at 17:49
Same, theyre saying he'll be back next week, can still field 19 this week (maybe).

Top Gun · 05/06/2017 at 19:59
He was my must have at the beginning of the season.

Randomcliche2 · 05/06/2017 at 23:36
He was mine and then he busted his knee. Trade and save, just like old cars.

Danners · 05/06/2017 at 19:07
Greene, you'd already have Macrae and Dahlhaus

Rooster XXX · 05/06/2017 at 22:52
Danners why does it matter if he already has Macrae & Dahl?
Totally irrelevant if he already has the two other Doggies fwds….
Dogs have had their bye already GWS haven't so straight way that is a tick for Wallis. If you think Wallis will outecore Greene for rest of 2017 then he is your man, regardless of what other Doggies players you have in fwd line…

Stanks21 · 05/06/2017 at 17:51
Good pick. Has been very consistent this year and will be around the 100 mark every week.

IntheNickofTime · 05/06/2017 at 17:57
Don't look back. Have been meaning to pick him up post-bye for a few weeks now.

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 18:04
Great pick, very tackle happy this year too.

Billioux · 05/06/2017 at 18:06
Got him last week.Happy

neil Demons Delight · 05/06/2017 at 20:25
yeah great move Bont trying to get him myself

Captain Feathersword · 05/06/2017 at 20:31
its *thoughts you pirate, yarrr yarrrr me hearty

Steeeve · 06/06/2017 at 09:35
I advised someone against this move last week and boy was I proved wrong. So if you want him then go for it. Just be aware his best season ever was an average of only 100. Every other year he has averaged below 100. Will he really finish the year averaging 110+ like we want from our premo mids?

Stanks21 · 05/06/2017 at 18:01
Both great. But i would say Kelly. And Greene for the forward line

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 18:08
Oliver since he has had his bye. Lynch if you are struggling to field a team in round 13 otherwise Greene.

Bottom · 05/06/2017 at 18:10
Cheers lads, actually contemplating spending the bit more to get sloane over kelly now and i'll go with greene

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 18:18
You sure you want to do that considering they both have Round 13 byes. Make sure to double check how many you can field.

BoltonsBlues · 05/06/2017 at 21:21
paying 580k for Kelly, i wouldnt do it, the kid is a good player, but i dont think he has been hit with a hard tag yet, Curnow for my blues may just go to him this week.
You are paying just below max price right now

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 21:49
Never play with your heart. Play with mind and gut.

David C · 05/06/2017 at 18:36
I brought in Hanners this week, go the better player.

lok · 05/06/2017 at 18:51
so JPK.

redherringfc · 05/06/2017 at 18:56
I like the logic.

pod · 05/06/2017 at 18:54
I'd pick JPK only because he's cheaper, both guns.

Wedge · 05/06/2017 at 21:59
Yep you would do your head in trying to justify who is better. I would just trade in the cheaper option

Randomcliche2 · 05/06/2017 at 23:41
From memory JPK has more high score records than Hanners….and that's why I have rocky on my bench as well…

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 18:13
Doubt it, but could be used for loopholing.

Randomcliche2 · 05/06/2017 at 23:44
Mate he was soooooo tired when they rested him. They could be hit with GWS like injuries. Keep an eye on Barron's report.

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 18:12
Macrae, Greene, Lynch, Wallis in that order.
Lynch could be amazing value at 430K but being a KPP more risky.

Jambak · 05/06/2017 at 18:18
Yeah that's true already have two in buddy and Kennedy, don't need another yoyo in my side

Danners · 05/06/2017 at 19:10
Macrae/Lynch

Kyle · 05/06/2017 at 19:31
Your mids are looking weak mate. Upgrade berry and swallow to premos. Then SPP at m8

Derek · 05/06/2017 at 19:58
Great War chest.
bang bang bang
Bont, JPK and cousins IN

JohndJames · 05/06/2017 at 23:54
Hi He Man I'd be looking at your mids,since that is the only line that needs work,Myers,Berry, Fisher and even Swallow need to go,I'd be doing two upgrades one dowgrade, getting in Pendles, Hanners and Cousins this week and be looking at Bont in a few weeks time.

#Pieinghigh · 06/06/2017 at 14:04
I would trade
Swallow > JPK
SPP / Myers > Bont
SPP / Myers > Cousins
Defence is weak as well.. You really only have 2 premos in Laird and Doch, McDonald, Rance and Shaw aren't in top 6 this year and have been overtaken by Roberton, Adams, Howe, Lloyd etc.

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 18:22
Parsons out, Bolton forward and Cousins in.
Sandi for Kreuzer.

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 18:36
Then I end up with 2 playing rookies on the bench in the midfield. However this might be my best bet.

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 18:56
Still plenty for this round. What about round 13?

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 18:59
This round I have 19 or 20 depending on sandi I think and next round I have 17(this is before any trades).

Top Gun · 05/06/2017 at 19:41
Id sit pretty. Your cows aren't fat enough unless you want to go Stewart to a rookie and then Berry to Premo. Stewart will make a lot more $$$ though.

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 19:56
What would you do about the big Sandy

redherringfc · 05/06/2017 at 20:09
How about Sandi out, Nank to ruck and bring a forward in, Lynch maybe. Next week or week after bring in the best ruck you can and put Nank back up front.

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 20:25
I like that idea. Not a fan of Lynch though so am considering Greene or Wallis. Both have disadvantages though one has the bye soon the other would leave me with 3 Dogs players in the forward line.

David C · 05/06/2017 at 20:48
At this stage of the game whoever you bring in needs to be a keeper.

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 20:59
Greene and Wallis are keepers are they not?

KrazeeEyezK1lla · 05/06/2017 at 20:16
Newman or Marchbank and Myers out for Docherty and Cousins. I'd probably hold Newman another week or two and go Marchbank to Docherty if you can afford to

David C · 05/06/2017 at 20:46
Otten before Newman and Marchbank due to byes.

Jez · 05/06/2017 at 21:49
Would you go Otten to Hibberd or Roberton, Melb already had byes and can do this with single trade.
Can also go Otten – Laird but Rd 13 not ideal.
In two trades I could get Cousins and Docherty.
What are your thoughts there?

TOPHAWK1 · 05/06/2017 at 18:52
That's what it basically comes down to Top Gun. The top 300 or so teams would have started with those premos you mentioned as well as having a stable ruck. Perhaps started with Martin and Sandi. I bet these teams also nailed all the early big $ rooks like Otten, Newman, WHE, Barrett, Marchbank etc. Nonetheless, if you are in the top 2500 or so at this time and perhaps no more than 1200 points off the lead, I reckon there is plenty of time to make a real run to the finish line. It requires sound bye planning, disciplined trading. (grabbing the relevant rooks at the right time, culling fattened rooks at the right time, and targeting the ultra premos when their price is not over inflated. Rational VC and E loopholing is crucial. After that, its just a bit of luck, avoiding too many injuries and seeing where the ride takes you!! Good luck mate.

Top Gun · 05/06/2017 at 19:09
One player to premo. This damn game requires skill and luck to win. 1120 rank but gonna be hard to win from here. Good luck to you too.

TigerNut · 05/06/2017 at 19:03
I started with Danger, Martin, Kelly and T Mitchell. Was pretty rapt with those selections

Top Gun · 05/06/2017 at 19:11
Be hitting you up at the start of next season Tiger.. lol

Derek · 05/06/2017 at 19:06
That has been the sad truth.
I have 5 out of the top 30 ranked players.
I stuck with the old guard and waited for Oliver, Kelly, Bont, Sloane, Neale, Merrett, Yeo, Zorko and Robertson to crash and burn.
Having said that, there are always plenty of risky picks that don't work as well.
I still think some of the old guard will redeem themselves, especially the hard nuts when the season starts to take its toll. Those up front without trades and not able to jump off an early season gun will quickly slip away.

Top Gun · 05/06/2017 at 19:16
Agreed Derek. Wasn't sure about Kelly….Sloane ranger has taken it to a new level. Simple fact you back yourself. I like many judges look at how a player finishes the last 10 rounds to get a snapshot of their ability next season. Endurance will see the likes of JPK, Jelwood, Pendles, etc as you said to deliver.

Moosehead · 05/06/2017 at 19:25
Derek old son, you are so hard on yourself. Be like Hanners and get on the terps. Even someone like you who is so SC knowledgeable and generous with your opinion can have an ordinary SC year. I also went for the traditional players but going ok.

SCaddict · 05/06/2017 at 19:38
That's not necessarily true. I don't have Jelwood, Kelly or Dusty either yet have been steadily climbing the rankings now ranked 318th overall. Avoiding a lot of the disasters like Shaw, Parker and NRoo is probably just as important as having the guys scoring gangbusters to your ranking and league performances.
Also getting your midpricers and rookies more right than wrong makes a major contribution to how successful your season ends up being. A lot of coaches were hurt early in the season by starting too many spud rookies on their field. Then there is your bye navigation performance. So there are a lot of factors at play.

Top Gun · 05/06/2017 at 19:51
True Scaddict and well done on your ranking but commonalities exist between the top sides as I have been looking at their sides. They seem to have all the 'right' mids. We know players can have a purple patch; let's hope some of the old brigade bring their A game for the remainder of the season. And yes their is so much more than just good mids. Byes usual sort the SC players out who struggle.

Derek · 05/06/2017 at 20:12
Nice going Addict

neil Demons Delight · 05/06/2017 at 20:37
get them in and who knows great effort son

wombatsfc · 05/06/2017 at 20:24
It doesn't neccasarily mean that they started those players TG. If your prepared to burn trades and sideways trade in the first 11 weeks it's not difficult to have 5 of the top 10 mids by round 12.
It's only half time mate all sorts of atrocities are yet to befall 100,000 supercoaches and all sorts of miracles are yet to happen to the other 100,000.
Dusty might decide to stay in NZ until he joins the hoppers n/y, Bont might continue his 3 round ave of 87 for rest of year, Jelwood might turn out to be a cyborg and get banned.

whatyasmokin · 05/06/2017 at 18:55
Normally wouldn't promote sideways trading but considering the byes it's ok. Hope you don't regret it later though.

Danners · 05/06/2017 at 19:09
Only if you have around 20 trades

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 20:41
Agree with Danners. Lycett back shortly will mean he has a ruckman that can tap it to him. West Coast have had make shift spud rucks all season

redherringfc · 05/06/2017 at 19:17
If i had Priddis i'd be holding him and hoping he comes good, at least for a few games after his bye. Statistically speaking he seems in a similar boat to Fyfe, although he may have bottomed out in price.

David C · 05/06/2017 at 20:41
If you are going to sideways trade at least go to a form player. Bont lately not producing … maybe Hannebury.

The Who · 05/06/2017 at 19:22
Who are you? who who who who, now tell me who are you? (im singing to this so called callum brown)

Billy · 05/06/2017 at 19:28
Glen or is there anyone else who could get a run on the way home don't see many hibbard!!

SF4 · 05/06/2017 at 19:52
Hibberd, already had his bye

jez_m · 06/06/2017 at 12:53
James Cousins from Hawthorn ($102K MID) is on the bubble this week. He's a good downgrade option and his job security going forward is reasonable I reckon.

randomcliche · 06/06/2017 at 13:08
for non-rnd 13….start doing your 'rookie rain dance' for Smith (melb), otherwise its some pommie from the doggies….yuck.

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 19:56
Same, I changed my mind to Hibberd last minute

Top Gun · 05/06/2017 at 20:05
And missing a game after being suspended. Jack Martin assaulted. As Bill Lawry used to say "It's all happening!"

Swans2012 · 05/06/2017 at 20:25
That's a new way for me to lose a player during byes ffs

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 20:38
Needs to go straight to the Ben Cousins school of Booze Bus evasion

No one · 05/06/2017 at 21:00
So Shaw's changed on field roles with Williams and off field roles with Harbrow?

Randomcliche2 · 06/06/2017 at 00:18
That's a p!sser…..#burnsomemoretrades (see if this gets past the auto moderate)

redherringfc · 05/06/2017 at 19:58
Did you then roll the dice and put the C on Kelly?

KrazeeEyezK1lla · 05/06/2017 at 20:19
out of the two, Wallis. With Dixon I think you'll get some 130+ scores, plus some 40's.

ONE TOUCH WONDER · 05/06/2017 at 20:29

KrazeeEyezK1lla · 05/06/2017 at 20:39
haha Brick. nice

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 20:36
25 PREMOS & 19 TRADES LEFT

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 20:37
AND 2 MIL IN THE BANK

KrazeeEyezK1lla · 05/06/2017 at 20:39
Depends on how the next few games go I'd say. If we(swans) are 100% out of the finals race, I can see Cameron getting some games. if we're right in the hunt for finals I think they'll want to field the best team possible each week, and Tippett can still be pretty handy if he pulls his finger out

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 21:16
Tippett is a much more expensive version of Jesse White ATM. Think he will get a go at some point

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 21:17
They would anyway. Pigs

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 10:53
Greene.

pod · 06/06/2017 at 11:06
Greene

joe · 06/06/2017 at 11:52
Wallis is a really interesting POD candidate and has cleared his bye.
It's tempting.

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 10:53
If hes your M8 its not a problem. M6 and there might be.

Deedee · 05/06/2017 at 20:44
Who is Junker?

KrazeeEyezK1lla · 05/06/2017 at 20:46
exactly

KrazeeEyezK1lla · 05/06/2017 at 20:46
kid from North. Oscar Junker. 102k mid/def

Mike · 06/06/2017 at 06:53
Looks like your in a bit of trouble with Heeny and Nank in your fwd line @this stage of the season as they are def not top 6 forwards . Can also see you on trouble with Lloyd and Kreuzer at seasons end . Hope you have plenty of trades. Good luck

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 08:07
Heeney could actually be a top 6-10 forward come seasons end. Nank is still averaging 98 iirc. Not sure why you think Lloyd will be a problem hes a ball magnet. Kruezer is an injury concern his form is top notch see him vs Goldy recently?

KrazeeEyezK1lla · 06/06/2017 at 08:13
yeah but where's the fun in having the same team as everybody else? I can see Heeney and Nank averaging 100 for the rest of the year. both teams pushing for finals. Richmond much more likely. Swans will come hard. Heeney's a gun.

WTF · 07/06/2017 at 20:03
Mike sounds like you missed the boat on NANK or you haven't got a clue.
Nank is averaging 98 so he is currently a top 6 forward now that Kennedy is out.
NANK will be a top 10 forward come season end with the versatility of having ruck cover = PRICELESS!!!
Same goes for Heeney 97 average thus far.
The best 10 forwards based on Average's are:
Wallis 110 but only played two games, Yeo 107, Macrae 101, Dixon 101, Dahlhaus 99, Nank 98, Heeney 97, Greene 97, Franklin 95, Cameron 96
Lloyd will also be top 6 to 10 defender and a very cheap one in two weeks time, I will be jumping on him along with 30% of others.
If Kreuzer remains sound he is killing it out there this year, his only issue is remaining injury free.
It seems as though you are jealous or very silly when it comes to SC – Or more than likely a combination of both.

Mavs17 · 05/06/2017 at 20:53
Should i bother trading Burton. Can pretty much upgrade hime to most good DEF and then leave Stewart to cull in a few more weeks

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 10:52
Mate Hibberd had his bye last week. If you want him get him in, hes a good price with a low be and has been racking up numbers like roberton.

Dean · 05/06/2017 at 23:41
All this swapping and trying to manipulate my team has screwed with my head. Cheers mate my brain in fried, what's left of it. That's a massive relief.

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 21:09
Hmmm good question. Roberton has been freed up by the arrival of Carlisle & Brown. But if one of them went down he could suffer. Hibberd won't be impacted by that sort of problem. So perhaps the better long term option

Mavs17 · 05/06/2017 at 21:09
Just wow….. surely this is a joke haha?

dannyyboyy · 05/06/2017 at 21:10
dangers BE is 79, if he has another ripper when he comes back you might have to spend a bit more to pull this move off. This move, mr Bake, requires quite large plums!

BlueNath · 05/06/2017 at 21:11
Yeah, go for it! You have 20 trades left so why not waste 2 more on sideways trades. It's not every round you get to waste 3 trades!

TRIGGER HAPPY · 05/06/2017 at 21:12
The magnificent shake n bake fake – folklore that one.
Danger – Sloane- Danger pure genius.
Danger – Ebert not quite the same ring
But with 20! still up the sleeve ……

The Ranger · 05/06/2017 at 23:05
Haha! I'd forgotten about the Shake n Bake Fake of 2016!
Great move Shake, do it again!!!

Derek · 06/06/2017 at 13:28
That my friend…. is a Classic Shake n bake fake!!!!

Tim Watson · 05/06/2017 at 21:12
watched footy classified i see

pod · 05/06/2017 at 21:13
Hey Tim, don't you ever sleep, and yes I did.

BlueNath · 05/06/2017 at 21:13
Not good news for Grundy owners!

Tyruddanaut · 05/06/2017 at 21:59
Moore has already started playing the role. He did a bit last week but Grundy still racked up 98

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 22:31
Moore did not play ruck in the second half. I believe Grundy was very low at half time

Tibor · 06/06/2017 at 09:28
The primary reason there is talk of Darcy Moore as a ruckman is he is so bloody disappointing as a forward

pod · 06/06/2017 at 09:58
True Tibor but well done Bucks for finally tweaking game plan.

NickMacMan · 05/06/2017 at 22:10
If he isn't named he is gone

whatyousmokin · 05/06/2017 at 22:41
Ryder possibly due to dp. Not a big fan of grundy.

Pete · 05/06/2017 at 23:06
Has to go if not named. Can't wear another two weeks of zeroitis from a guy who was never going to be a keeper anyway.

David C · 06/06/2017 at 06:56
I'm waiting for Gawn.

Rivo · 06/06/2017 at 08:00
David, yes Gawn is very tempting. Want to see how he goes and think his price may fall first week or 2 as he eases back into it. Hmmm.

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 08:11
Hoping my sandi to goldy trade pays off. Then hopefully do witts to gawn for stuff all cash towards finals.

TheGreatBozza · 06/06/2017 at 12:50
I'm holding him. A donut this week isn't the worst as we actually have cover since it is best 18. I am playing for league wins however, so I will re-evaluate the big fellas after R13

Rivo · 05/06/2017 at 22:16
Myers 1st of those, on shaky ground, SPP & Barrett still have a little more cash to make.

INPieman · 05/06/2017 at 22:24
Myers I'm afraid to say

Hoot · 06/06/2017 at 09:43
Myres has a history of 70s and may prove his worth post byes… just a shame to trade out a players with only 100k increase so far…. in saying that i may have to do it myself to get the cash i need.

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 10:49
You could dotch SPP because he is worth $325k which will help with upgrades and possibly wont make much more cash on a be of 49. Straight to cousins gives you enough cash for a good upgrade.

whatyousmokin · 05/06/2017 at 22:40
Yep like kruezer

Derek · 06/06/2017 at 13:27
i would keep sandi before i traded in Kruezer, that is about as sideways as you can get

Mavs17 · 05/06/2017 at 22:31
Good trades

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 08:10
Solid. Pity you didnt ditch the brisbane boys last week though. Im jolding barrett was just coming into some form. Hope rocky returning doesnt squeeze him out.

Choice · 06/06/2017 at 10:38
I could just go Marchbank to Hibberd and hold off getting Doch, miss out on Cousins though.

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 10:46
Nah probably stick with the trades I reckon.

Defying_Madness · 05/06/2017 at 22:35
Next week his be is 160ish

Mavs17 · 05/06/2017 at 22:37
Thanks. Thinking ill upgrade Burton to him and keep stewart to downgrade in coming weeks.

Leeds17 · 06/06/2017 at 06:10
Looking at him for R13 will come down in price but also would like to see him play a game as the head knocks can affect you for a couple weeks.

Tibor · 06/06/2017 at 09:25
Couldn't agree more

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 10:35
Yeah Id say oliver at this stage.

Damo · 06/06/2017 at 15:15
Roberton could definitely be in the conversation to

Randomcliche2 · 06/06/2017 at 19:58
Now we're talking. Perhaps Roberton or smurphy I instead of daylight….good as daylight has been this season….Kelly also making a run for it. Yeo, Steele and mid-season pick of Walters are also looking good. As for Nank, well he might not see the season out, but has been very good. Adams a bloody good pick in defence as well. It's tricky to compare players from different lines at different prices scoring different averages. Burton? Newman? All I know is Oliver 1 not Zac Williams.

INPieman · 06/06/2017 at 07:54
All the magic numbers came up. Also had some nice players that didn't make the 18. Crazy week

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 08:08
Wow, thats crazy. Im going for top score this week haha.

Hoot · 06/06/2017 at 09:39
Some ppl set up their team from rd1 to win the "high score of the round" prize… trading strategically to aim at 22 onfield premos. Not sure if these is still a cash incentive to do so as there was years ago.

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 08:31
Theres two hawks midfield rookies?

Rick Grimes · 06/06/2017 at 08:53
I have Cousins already, the other I'm not sold on. I wanted to be full premo by end of byes but without viable downgrade options it's hard.

INPieman · 06/06/2017 at 09:23
I expect Callum Brown to debut this week Rick. 117K Mid/Fwd. He was a travelling emergency to Perth. With Elliott Wells & Goldsack stuffed & Levi Greenwood a maybe I think he's almost certain to get a game

Rick Grimes · 06/06/2017 at 09:45
Thanks INP. I looked at him as someone who would surely get a run soon. Is Scharenburg safe for now? I'd expected more from him. Is tidy when he gets the ball, just not getting much of it.

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 10:31
And hes expensive

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 10:44
What about luke ryan?

INPieman · 06/06/2017 at 10:51
He is very tidy with it. Finding his feet at senior level. JS very good for a rookie. 3 blokes going down (probably long term) further improves. Bench cover decent option. Don't bring him in as a cash cow

Rick Grimes · 06/06/2017 at 11:15
I already bought him in last week. He's D7 for now.

Derek · 06/06/2017 at 11:32
Miles from Hawthorn played in the VFL last week and looks to have recovered from his knee injury. Don't be surprised to see him named this week, or more likely after the bye.

Rick Grimes · 06/06/2017 at 14:08
Yea he's worth a look.

pod · 06/06/2017 at 10:03
Roberton and Kruezer, nice.

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 10:44
Lloyd in a couple of weeks will be a bargain, or hibberd/roberton now. Just remember kreuzer could fall apart, that saying he looks really confident in his body and is playing like a champ.

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 11:02
And yeah id pull the trigger on the sandi to kruezer.

Rick Grimes · 06/06/2017 at 09:59
I'd say hold this week as you can field a good 18. Next week should get close too. You need all rookies to fatten before you burn any further trades, IMO. Stewart and Perryman will make a premo, as will Barrett and Myers/Bolton, as will Greenwood, Hannan. But that's 6 trades worth, so you'll need to time it right and pray no further injuries.

INPieman · 06/06/2017 at 10:17
Agree with Rick. Hold fire on the 9. You need to max out every cent from those rookies from here & pray

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 10:42
Agree here those rookies need to fatten team value looks low.

TRIGGER HAPPY · 06/06/2017 at 10:24
Sit down and hang on.
Only 1/2 way.
Need to conserve and make every trade count from here on in.

neil Demons Delight · 06/06/2017 at 12:46
yes sit tight and let them fatten more meph Youre squad is competitive and Stewart Barrett AND Greenwood better than average rooks who really should be kept but I see your point however in your situation I think you may have to keep one probably Stewart or Greenwood couple of nice pods there too good luck Meph

Derek · 06/06/2017 at 13:23
you like the Bang bang bang! traded your arss off. Now you have to pick through the bargain bins and look for a fallen premium of two. Lloyd good example, wait a couple of weeks and snap him up. RGray will be dirt cheap soon. Gunston or Tex are at the bottom of the bargain bin if you have long arms

Lazza · 06/06/2017 at 20:01
To only have 9 you must have made 2 trades this round. No one can have less than 11 before this round unless you are playing in a 10 team comp which started a week earlier.

Lazza · 06/06/2017 at 20:05
Whoops.. forgot we could trade before the comps started …

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 10:40
Already did it. Myers is done for scoring not getting near it.

Derek · 06/06/2017 at 13:12
Myers is capable of a big score (more than Cousin anyway). All you need from a rookie is one good score and you can make some cash, myers might? cousins won't. But for $102k what do we expect.
Not convinced about Cousins JS. Miles played in the VFL last week and i can see him taking Cousins place.
having said that, i'm getting Cousins this week.

whatyousmokin · 06/06/2017 at 10:56
Yeah but just remember you cant reverse trades once the round starts. So do each tradevas you need it ie one thursday night, friday etc

Dice · 06/06/2017 at 11:16
Wanting to do 2 trades now, and come Saturday night trade out a player with a bye this week for a player in Monday's game – that will work??

randomcliche · 06/06/2017 at 13:14
provided you've got the cashola for the first trades and don't need cash from the final one…

jez_m · 06/06/2017 at 13:16
He's only played 22 games in a season once. I'd steer clear because he'll probably be injured/rested between now and the end of the H&A season.

INPieman · 06/06/2017 at 14:45
I don't think you should be trading Witts. He going really well & he's consistent. You should be trying to hold him until Gawn is cheap. Roberton has a great ceiling but Lloyd will be very cheap & has valuable DPP. With Archie Smith playing at the moment you can't under any circumstances trade Martin in. Archie kills his scoring. Your team is looking very solid. How many trades do you have?

FEARTHEBEARD · 07/06/2017 at 10:54
Wasn't trading Witts.
Sandiballs…
Think might hold on him.
Lloyd or Roberton u reckon best overall forget about price?

JohndJames · 06/06/2017 at 14:45
Wait till Lloyd drops in price,could go down 60k in the next two weeks.

Lazza · 06/06/2017 at 20:11
If I were you I'd be getting my eyes checked. 4 short of Full Premo in my eyes, possibly 5.

FEARTHEBEARD · 07/06/2017 at 10:54
Then your eyes are biased.

Dean · 07/06/2017 at 19:15
That is a quality side my friend. Anyone knocking your team is either very envious or very stupid or both.
The only non premo you have and unfortunately so do I is Shaw, this is the first season in over a decade where Shaw decides to play average at best.
If I were you I would NOT be making a trade at all this week, if that was my team I would be holding strong and conserving trades because many ranked in the top, will end up finishing out of the top 1000 due to lack of trades.
I would only consider trading Shaw to Lloyd around round 14 or even Williams or Hurley and also consider trading Fyfe out for J Selwood or Hanners
Also maybe and it's a BIG maybe consider to bring in – S Martin or Mummy only if Kruezer or Witts start dropping off, meaning scores of sub 80's for three weeks in a row.
Apart from that sit tight and HOLD those trades in case some of your players get injured or suspended, unless you have plenty of trades left (16+)
With a team like that it doesn't matter even if you were ranked # 1 right now with low trades, with still half a season to go a lack of trades will kill you come season end.
GOOD LUCK – Seriously a very nice side mate. Wish that was my side.

FEARTHEBEARD · 06/06/2017 at 13:49
Thanks for reply Neil.
Yeh I rate Beams and like him as a player.
I would agree the other 2 can go just as big though all you need to do is see Bont last few weeks are 80-90 and Beams has pulled some big scores.
If he went to shit would jump on 1.

neil Demons Delight · 06/06/2017 at 14:38
its mainly his injuries that spooks me fearthe beard though adams has that problem beams a real good pod I would imagine

INPieman · 06/06/2017 at 14:46
Stroke of genius right there

Dean · 07/06/2017 at 18:09
Wallis by far as he will be more consistent.
