The original Flog Prince

Moustachio · 19/06/2017 at 16:26
What'd I miss?

Tyruddanaut · 20/06/2017 at 07:37
I don't know off recent events but he's just a bad person

Gold Rush · 19/06/2017 at 21:16
Super flog, can't stand him.

Pitch 72 · 19/06/2017 at 21:33
Hello Gerard…

Winter · 19/06/2017 at 12:33
I'm doing the exact same and going with Neale

Patch · 19/06/2017 at 14:43
Looking at both as well, Crimewave. Essendon's draw is helping cement my pre-existing bias towards The Zach

Stirlsy · 19/06/2017 at 15:46
Iwent Merrett both good picks tho.

stêvę · 19/06/2017 at 11:27
mitchell, martin, merret and neale in that order id say

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 12:54
Merrett, Titch, Martin, Neale.

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 12:54
Sorry was meant to reply to mandigo 😉

redherringfc · 19/06/2017 at 17:59
I'd go Neale. Didn't slow down last year. Nice POD.

Wattsieesq · 19/06/2017 at 18:56
Titch

Danners · 19/06/2017 at 19:31
Titch if money is no concern, runs the Hawthorn midfield brigade

Winter · 19/06/2017 at 12:33
Same problem for me, I went Neale

Wattsieesq · 19/06/2017 at 12:36
I'm in the same boat as you. I've gone for Zerrett. Dons have a reasonable run home.

Bells · 19/06/2017 at 19:16
Playing Swans this week. Could get mugged ( I hope). Not much room on the SCG for running players.

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 12:37
Zach.

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 12:58
Merrett without a second thought, Ross is interesting though as big POD.

Lazza · 19/06/2017 at 18:24
Lock Ross and Merrett in for next year .. Merrett for 2017.

stêvę · 19/06/2017 at 11:27
just saw jelwood reported, probably not him then

ProTravo · 19/06/2017 at 11:36
Merrett or Pendles safest options. Kelly hurt himself at training but if he gets up this week might be the best POD.

Wattsieesq · 19/06/2017 at 12:37
Pendles for me

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 12:52
Merrett almost before Pendles for me, sounds crazy but that kid is a freaky ball magnet.
I'd get one of those two though as suggested by others.

Stirlsy · 19/06/2017 at 15:50
Merrett…. Dons have an easy run home.

NutSack · 20/06/2017 at 01:55
pffft. The Ramadan ISIS release directed muslims to target infidels in their homes using sites like Gumtree, Craiglist and FB marketplace etc

Patch · 19/06/2017 at 14:45
If you can get rid of Myers I would do so!

Skinny McThin · 19/06/2017 at 11:53
I was considering Max but his injury history is equally as putrid as Kruezers, in 7 years he's only managed more than 13 games once!

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 12:17
If I was spending 600 on a ruck this week I'd go balls out & pick Gawn. His interstate scores last year were ridiculous & playing West Coast who don't offer much in the ruck ATM. But I won't be doing that as I don't have 600k to spend on a ruck. Other issues to deal with

Stirlsy · 19/06/2017 at 15:53
Do you think he will play pure ruck Pieman? I think he will spend chunks up fwd in his first game back.

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 15:59
Will be interesting to see if they keep Pedersen. He's been good. Maybe Pedersen for the chop out

DeeSupreme · 19/06/2017 at 16:55
Great call stirlsy. We beat the pitiful pies and deadbeat dogs without a ruck so Max might be Jesse' replacement for a few weeks. Then if we need a ruck in September he'll be prime to become the first ruck Norm Smith medalist

Prophet Trevor · 19/06/2017 at 18:46
Hahaha Max is an ordinary ruck who had 1 non injury year out of 7 that's not really worthy of superstar status. Anyone who brings him in at the expense of grundy sandi or witts will be bitterly disappointed

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 22:53
Getting a bit ahead of yourself deesupreme. Is that some sort of pizza you get in the ski fields?

Skinny McThin · 19/06/2017 at 15:55
I'm planning to trade witts to Max in a couple of weeks. The ruck role is more athletic this year because of Kruezers success and I want to make sure Max isn't breakdown again. Plus he'll be 70k cheaper

Lazza · 19/06/2017 at 18:26
TMitchell

Josh Hunt · 19/06/2017 at 18:52
Bont or maybe rockliff when his price comes down due to his very high breakeven

Wattsieesq · 19/06/2017 at 18:59
Dusty

savemebarry1 · 19/06/2017 at 18:59
Neale, Merrett, Zorko or Titch

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 12:46
Pretty much, and you won't miss much by ditching Stewart now.
Otherwise you may not be able to get Gawn…………

NM94 · 19/06/2017 at 18:00
Love your team big fella, Whats your overall ranking??

DEE · 20/06/2017 at 09:58
Thanks i started a few pods in the midfield.
It's little lady actually.
Ranked around 5000 was higher but dropped lots due to Rd 11 bye

Dannn · 19/06/2017 at 18:42
Jones just got given a 1 match ban didn't he? might be worth holding Stewart as cover.

hedski · 19/06/2017 at 19:49
Fyfe to Danger seems like a decent trade Dee.

DEE · 20/06/2017 at 09:59
Gr8 idea thanks.

Skinny McThin · 19/06/2017 at 20:00
Myers to Ryan and get another fwd your f5,f6 both pump out regular sub 50's

Dean · 19/06/2017 at 22:21
First and foremost you need Danger, so trade out Stewart for Ryan then get rid of Fyfe and bring in Dangerfield over Zerrett. That will still leave you with $60k
Also if Sandiballs doesn't get called back in trade him for Goldy, Kreuzer or Gawn
Apart from not having Danger your side is extremely solid.

DEE · 20/06/2017 at 10:03
Thanks Dean started Kelly as a stepping stone to Danger when he dropped in price.
All my mids did so well couldn't bring in Danger.
But I like that trade.
Ryan can cover Jones this week and Fyfe to danger.
Hopefully only need 1 trade and the $60k to go Witts or Sandi to gawn in a couple of weeks.
Thanks.
Will make those trades.

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 12:43
The forward line is really tough, I feel Nank could even slip out of contention, but of course HOLD him for now.
I have the exact same forward line but I bought T/Lynch and he got me a ton followed by a turd.
The best option if he can not get reported is Toby Greene I reckon.

ProTravo · 19/06/2017 at 12:45
Greene. I have stayed away from key tall forwards all year and it has worked out well. Wallis is another good option.

savemebarry1 · 19/06/2017 at 19:08
Greene I would say is top priority. Others are Buddy (although he got reported against Richmond so watch how that plays out, most likely should be fine), Wallis or Billings if you like a punt (Just 1 score under 90 in his last 7 games, top score of 136 in that period)

Dean · 19/06/2017 at 22:23
Bring in Wallis or Greene

TRIGGER HAPPY · 19/06/2017 at 12:21
WHICH ONE? 🙂

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 12:45
Possibly both!

Ranked1 · 19/06/2017 at 13:18
One with an early plea

ProTravo · 19/06/2017 at 13:24
Joel 1 week, Scott at least 2.

Rooster XXX · 19/06/2017 at 13:35
Joel Selwood no chance of being suspended for that "accidental" incident… Low impact, not intentional there is no way the MRP can come up with a suspension…..
Sam Mitchell totally not effected from the contact – so much so he was able to run him down and square up immediately…
Nothing to see here.. Joel will be good to go, Scooter you would think be missing 2 as a minimum if it is a stock standard twanger….

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 13:47
Low impact?

Rooster XXX · 19/06/2017 at 14:50
It will definitely be grade as low impact – how else can it be graded? Mitchell suffered no side effects, played out the game, will lay this week, was able to retaliate immediately – so yes definitely low impact in the MRP eyes….
Absolutely no doubt about it being graded as low impact

TRIGGER HAPPY · 19/06/2017 at 14:06
The angle I saw looked like he tripped but guess he could have used his hands to brace himself rather than his elbow.
be interesting to see which the way the MRP see it.
probably get off or maybe that is just me being hopeful as he is in my team? hehe

Cr0magn0n · 19/06/2017 at 15:53
I agree, can't see him getting suspended for that

Randomcliche2 · 20/06/2017 at 13:43
A fine. Well played. I thought he was an education funding package!

Stirlsy · 19/06/2017 at 15:55
will get off nothing in it.

Shake n bake · 19/06/2017 at 17:52
Sorry that was when l heard the news about scooters hammy.

TRIGGER HAPPY · 19/06/2017 at 12:25
Without seeing your team like those trades Jim

Wattsieesq · 19/06/2017 at 12:43
I'd trade Berry. That 44 will stick around for a few weeks in his BE calc. Stewart has had a better 2 weeks

Rick Grimes · 19/06/2017 at 13:26
Wombats his a bigger turd than Lynch's weekend score. This is a community where people come to give each advice and share stories, not to be a flog.

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 13:46
Agree Rick. As suspected he didn't enter a team again. I've floated with Jock to make it a member only site to be able to comment. Hope he implements it. Stop the keyboard warrior flogs

Stirlsy · 19/06/2017 at 15:48
Ahhh Pieman….. always good for a laugh….

Top Gun · 19/06/2017 at 21:17
More fakes on here than Pamela Anderson' breasts

Randomcliche2 · 20/06/2017 at 13:45
There is an intense debate profile for the good wombatsFC and none for this clown.

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 12:50
Completely agree WYS. He was literally the best of a bad bunch. I only got him in because of Steele. Didn't want to but it was the only half decent option available. And didn't have the funds to get Heeney. Hopefully he can string together some decent games

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 13:19
Yeah I used the season rankings list on footy wire as a reference here, note also Lynch was a fair way up that list last week so anyone who traded him in I wouldn't beat yourself up.
I dare say Lynch wouldn't be very happy with his performance (nor would the GCS in general) last week and should come back strong. Don't mind GCS rounds 19-23 either.
Richmond at Metricon.
Freo in Perth.
Brisbane at Gabba.
Essendon at Metricon.
Port at AO.
Could be very handy in finals should bag a few reasonable, if not big scores.

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 13:29
His run home was my reasoning with the exception of port. My concern about getting him last week was Liam Jones. And so it proved. Hope he bounces back

Dildor · 19/06/2017 at 13:29
I tossed him up as an option but had enough for Heeney. Heeney and Wallis worked alright for me this week, lets see the long play though.

Dildor · 19/06/2017 at 13:27
Weird that you included R.Gray considering he's a mid only? If he was DPP he'd be an absolute lock?!?!

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 13:46
Hmm footy wire has him listed as a supercoach forward………..lol

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 13:50
Gray will be a forward next year & possibly Mid/Fwd

Dildor · 19/06/2017 at 14:24
Already have him locked

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 19:38
Agreed. Should be priced ok too.

TRIGGER HAPPY · 19/06/2017 at 14:15
I'm with ya WYS cupboard is bare.
As didn't have Macrae brought him in the week for Steele.
So gives me 4 locks and Nank.
At the moment greenwood is my F6 as just not sure who to bring in?
looking at the that list hasn't helped. ha ha
Even though don't like KPF much may have to bring one of them in but wont be buddy is on my no buddy way list
Plan was to see how JJK went after his injury break wait for him to drop in price probably this week and bring in him in for Barrett
As he has 5 more home games after this week good of plan as any I guess
do like the look of wallis and billings as getting stints in the midfield so will have another look this week and make a call
but yeah no one screaming pick me

Tony · 19/06/2017 at 18:56
I think people are underestimating Wingard in this discussion. Doesn't need to touch it a lot to ton up, as he did on Saturday. I like his chances of being in the top 6 forward scorers for the rest of the year.

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 19:39
The problem with Wingard is he seems to have quiet games, or is quiet entire seasons?

Skinny McThin · 19/06/2017 at 20:04
None of those lesser options had 2 sub 50's before last week but TJ Lynch did and he now has 3 sub 50's and 3 tons for the season. Sometimes a players basement is equally as important as there ceiling

finnigin · 19/06/2017 at 21:10
ryder lol twittsland

wightyswarriors · 19/06/2017 at 21:47
Gotta have 6….mine are yeo, dahl, buddy, greene, heeney, and ryder. ryder not performing…..lmao…his 119 was very handy this week

Winter · 19/06/2017 at 12:49
1-2 weeks with a small hamstring tear

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 12:49
I Hear possibly back for a few tons in 2018.
Lack of details on return time is worrying.

NutSack · 20/06/2017 at 01:57
the paper cup will be out for 7-8

Dildor · 19/06/2017 at 13:30
I started with neither, my housemate started with both and has let me have the docherty abuse all year.

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 13:49
So then remind him that heath Shaw has dropped 130K and been average?

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 14:05
Lucky Derek doesn't live at your place Dildor. Would have stabbed your housemate by now

Dildor · 19/06/2017 at 14:21
I've considered it.

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 14:01
Non Doch owners at the start of the season were expecting a price drop at some point. Not go to a level we haven't seen from a defender. He is a gun. Williams & Wilson have really impacted Shaw's output

DavidSA · 19/06/2017 at 14:17
He is a good player but gun?
The guy gets to do what ever he wants, never tagged never bumped absolute joke imo.
Carlton were a decent side or simply put it.. more damaging a side he would fall from the top def podium
Great player yes. Great scores yes (record breaking) for defender but gee wiz he is as free as it gets

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 14:41
I guess it's hard to tag a defender. Seems coaches prefer to sit someone on Cripps or Murphy & Doch runs riot. It's been happening for a year & a half

Boltons Blues · 19/06/2017 at 16:47
Gun, 30 touches at 96%, I don't care where you play, that is elite stats for anyone who can kick the ball and hit the target 96 out of 100 times, he doesn't kick it backwards or short chips, he drills it 40 and hits targets lace out, watch the game

DeeSupreme · 19/06/2017 at 17:11
He regularly/randomly starts at the centre bounce and then plays a classic defensive wingmans role. It's not his fault all the other wingers can't defend. He'd walk into any team in the comp

Whinno · 19/06/2017 at 18:30
Yes, start tagging him. He is a mere mortal.

TigerNut · 19/06/2017 at 19:17
If u watched any football you'd notice he's been playing in the Centre and in the backline

Top Gun · 19/06/2017 at 21:19
He is an absolute gun. His contested mark is one of the best in the game.

Pete · 19/06/2017 at 22:04
Well he does have an opponent just like every other defender across 18 teams in the afl. So why aren't there more defenders getting his scores ?

ProTravo · 19/06/2017 at 14:57
This is very true Pieman, unfortunately you have to continue to hold Shaw because the week you trade him he's sure to go big!

Moustachio · 19/06/2017 at 16:40
He did drop, by 20k =) I ended up getting him for same as basically start price, so no harm done as I spent the cash effectively elsewhere.

The Ranger · 19/06/2017 at 16:59
I planed to get him in when his price dropped a bit or at the latest around the byes but his scores the last two weeks have ruined my chances again.
Stewart and Berry plus my 60K bank still don't bloody do it!!

Moustachio · 19/06/2017 at 16:43
Shaw was proven SC royalty over multiple seasons, Doc had done it once. Just because it didn't work out doesn't mean it was a bad decision. Until a few weeks ago Docs average was not worth more than his start price, and that was ample time to trade him in.
Starting most expensive player on all lines would have produced 3 of 4 fails this year: Doc yes, Danger no, Gawn no, NRoo no. All the campaigners are out laughing at people without Doc, but most of them are ranked nowhere because they have a philosophy of "pay for the best" and have now run out of money and/or trades before full premo.

Top Gun · 19/06/2017 at 21:20
Williams has taken over most of the run that Heater was doing.

Tony · 19/06/2017 at 19:00
I did the same. My reason was that in the JLT series, Shaw was looking like he'd just roll on with his SC friendly game (long effective kicks, play on to self from behinds, intercept marks) and Docherty had only done it for one season so not confident of him doing it again. In summary, I got this completely wrong.
I reckon I'd be top 500 now but for this error (I'm about 6,000).

Neverweaken · 19/06/2017 at 22:02
I hate paying big money for defenders. But even I had to get him. Luckily got him right after the bye so didn't cost anymore than his start price. It a nice feeling having him there

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 13:22
I'd lock Neale in, good value and with Sandi returning should help him. Zorko is peaking in price and unlikely to keep that run of scoring up.

Dean · 19/06/2017 at 22:34
Zorko will continue to average 117+ for the rest of the season.
However Neale also a great selection.
You won't be sorry with either player mate.

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 13:23
Not bad at all.

Hawkas2017 · 19/06/2017 at 17:43
Probably with 4 emergencys lol

Gogz · 19/06/2017 at 13:35
You're not the only one who needs some good Sandi action!!

Hawkas2017 · 19/06/2017 at 17:55
Im going to build a Sandi – pit before calling the Doc to make Shaw im alright. Before filling in the sandi pit with Rock's(y) and Beams to prepare it for my Dogs Mac and Rae to sleep for the (r)Knight.

NutSack · 20/06/2017 at 02:00
and to think my girlfriend loves roughhead. she always liked 2 swallow boys in the middle of the park but david is injury prone and andrew is a pensioner. Id love 2 ryder but thats out of the question atm.

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 14:49
I watched the Tigers Swans game & Rance was insane good. Next best man on the ground for mine was Newman. If he didn't play the Tigers would have won. I can't trade him after watching that performance

Don't Blush Baby · 19/06/2017 at 15:01
Further to that Newman didn't come come onto the ground until about 15 minute mark in the first 1/4

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 15:16
Good point DBB he was on the pine for ages at the start of the game. And he doesn't waste much time getting into the action

TRIGGER HAPPY · 19/06/2017 at 16:12
Yeah was there swans need Newman kicking it out of back line.
He is best 22 won't be dropped.
Dropped Melican b4 Newman this week.
Papley looked good last couple of games has bursts in the midfield and kicks goals. going well.

Rooster XXX · 19/06/2017 at 14:57
Could argue that is bordering on sideways trade given Newmans current output….. Not sure there is any hurry to punt Newman so long as Horse keeps selecting him there is no doubt that his role is very conducive to good SC scoring…..
Why not keep the trade and look to upgrade elsewhere? If no more upgrades to do just bank the trade for later in the season when inevitable injuries or (general soreness) resting hits….
I'm just not sure that trading Newman to LLoyds is really doing much for you in terms of points generation??
Other option is you could bring Lloyd in as a mid so you still get his bargain basement price and then if Newman goes pear shaped (form tapers off/is dropped) you can swing Lloyd into to Def and pick up a uber premo mid down the track……

Hawkas2017 · 19/06/2017 at 17:57
BEAUTIFULLY SAID ROOSTER

ProTravo · 19/06/2017 at 15:02
Similar issue here Cjay.
Was planning to go Newman to Lloyd this week but now gone Scooter to Lloyd.
Now i have to decide who to upgrade to a midfielder out of Heath Shaw and Newman next week.
At least this way I get to see how Lloyd, Newman and Heater perform this week before making a decision.

Cjay · 19/06/2017 at 15:23
Thanks guys.
Some very valid points above for not punting him.
Will give it a serious re think.

Rick Grimes · 19/06/2017 at 16:49
Yep he's a keeper I reckon.

JEL · 19/06/2017 at 19:27
Newman for Lloyd sounds like a waste.
They both have the same average and are pumping out similar scores

pete · 19/06/2017 at 15:12
injury prone

Keenbutclueless · 19/06/2017 at 15:31
He would be a handy loophole because he can go big. But to make that work, it is better if he plays early in the round. Looking at North's draw, they play late a lot. So probably can't use him effectively as a loop.

bUCKET__ · 19/06/2017 at 20:09
Lots of early Sat games for North… only wouldn't work in rd 21 as far as I can see. Hence the possibility!
Agree with others there's probably better out there, just exploring the possibilities

TRIGGER HAPPY · 19/06/2017 at 15:36
I reckon Jetta be a better option – DPP cheaper than Waite and best game in the eagle colours on the Thursday night

jez_m · 19/06/2017 at 18:28
If you're going to have an F7 loophole it's better off being a Mid/Fwd player who can cover both lines.

bUCKET__ · 19/06/2017 at 20:14
At this rate going to have Lloyd/Newman/Fyfe sitting on the pine with the emg around def and mid, depending on the draw. A pure fwd F7 can work with a ruck swing I've got. Agree that I'd prefer a mid/fwd but there's not much value there atm.
Another option I'm keeping a close eye on is Lycett upon return, if he plays to his potential it'd make Nank the ideal F7.

Top Gun · 19/06/2017 at 21:21
Spud. Did bugger all against the saints.

pete · 19/06/2017 at 15:13
moore

SC_Kev7 · 19/06/2017 at 16:31
Brown if you want to go early on him

bruce · 19/06/2017 at 14:53
i get around the kid. kicks the ball a heap and is also accurate and damaging with it. having not watched a heap of him in previous times i didnt consider him in my team, but after watching essendon play they love giving it to him and he is a ball magnet.

Rick Grimes · 19/06/2017 at 16:14
It's the way I'm going.

Tyruddanaut · 19/06/2017 at 17:04
Three words. Young Ball Magnet

TigerNut · 19/06/2017 at 19:15
Why the hesitation? Or Zorko if u don't have him

Danners · 19/06/2017 at 19:29
Good option, otherwise Cripps/Neale/JPK aren't bad options either

Don't Blush Baby · 19/06/2017 at 14:59
Same , I always planned to go SPP via Berry for LLoyd but looks like I might go Scooter instead – Note – Scooter said in an interview today that he is looking at least 1 week if not 2

ProTravo · 19/06/2017 at 15:08
I'd say Higgins will have to go. You will need one of Yeo or Heeney as a forward to move up the ranks as they are almost 'must haves'.

pete · 19/06/2017 at 15:18
big risk now with gawn , big guys n hammys are a bad combination

SC_Kev7 · 19/06/2017 at 16:30
Well done on finishing your team, Gary! Honestly if trades are going to be issue now hold off making sideways moves. You'll be kicking yourself if you face a donut that you could have avoided

Rick Grimes · 19/06/2017 at 16:13
Zorko the Magnificent is the one you want. Information we all could have used 13 weeks ago…

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 16:24
Agree Rick. His last 5 have been truly magnificent

Moustachio · 19/06/2017 at 16:46
Had gastro apparently. Not too worried.

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 17:14
Poor bugger was wearing white shorts

Randomcliche2 · 20/06/2017 at 01:00
Thanks Moustachio…..I was totally thinking it was his shoulder after seeing them ripping the tape of after game prior in the post match telecast! Glad to be wrong.

ProTravo · 20/06/2017 at 08:56
I heard this too. Hope that shoulder is holding up!
Last time he had a shocker he backed it up with a couple of big games… Here's hoping.

DeeSupreme · 19/06/2017 at 15:34
I noticed the same thing Skinny, pieman isn't fond of people who don't kiss his butt.

Skinny McThin · 19/06/2017 at 15:49
The wombat with the picture was pretty funny sometimes and only a random poster I don't know what piemans problem is. Maybe the wombat stole his missus, that could explain why pieman spends so much time on tinder 🙂

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 15:56
I know who he is & he's been doing the same thing for years. I think the member subscription solves the problem

Fatty McChub · 19/06/2017 at 15:39
Pieman is always the first reply to wombats comments that don't have the image. that's a strange coincedence.

LoganJosh7 · 20/06/2017 at 13:04
I love how you ask for opinions on a trade – pieman gives some decent tips and then you shred him in these comments? not sure who needs to grow up here…

Rick Grimes · 19/06/2017 at 16:02
I'd grab Doc. That big ceiling and captain option outweighs the 25 odd points more (on average) the other pair provides.

Dojo_Warrior · 19/06/2017 at 16:29
That's what I'm thinking at the moment, unsure though! Parsons -> Macrae would be doable if I took Lloyd which is super tempting though!

Rick Grimes · 19/06/2017 at 16:51
It would be a nice feeling to not have to look at Parsons score each week. Not a lot in it, to get fair. Trust ya gut.

Moustachio · 19/06/2017 at 16:47
Locking in the price rise on Doc now is pointless. I would grab the value, esp this season.

Tyruddanaut · 19/06/2017 at 17:03
With Lloyd being 200k cheaper he is much more a better option. That way you can get 2 premiums instead of just the one from 2 trades

Mudder · 19/06/2017 at 18:36
Completely agree.

Dean · 19/06/2017 at 23:23
Docherty is AWESOME don't get me wrong we all know this, however spending $635k on a defender is just absurd.
Especially when considering you are bringing in two PREMO'S with two trades its a much better move going Lloyd and Macrae or Wallis as opposed to just Docherty and a rookie.
The fact is those who missed out on Docherty from day 1 most likely brought in Shaw instead – I know I did thinking Shaw was the most consistent defender over the last Decade what a mistake that was, however here is the key, those who brought in Docherty over Shaw have already missed out on the extra 377 points that Doc scored thus far over Shaw, so basically the damage has already been done and its getting to late to hop on the Doc train when your side requires other PREMO'S.
PRIORITY is to fill your side with premo's ASAP – If I were you I would analyse your team in 3 to 5 rounds and see how you're going, only then if you have enough trades left and can generate the cash to bring in Docherty then consider going Lloyd to Docherty or Shaw to Docherty.

Dojo_Warrior · 20/06/2017 at 08:40
Thanks guys. Gone with Lloyd and will have enough to upgrade to Macrae next week, I'm sure it will still hurt to see the Doc smash out such huge scores but I'll live!

Tyruddanaut · 19/06/2017 at 17:01
You will have the extra cash if you go Heeney but you will have to use 3 trades to get full premium anyway. You can risk Gawn dropping down low enough so you can sideways trade one but if you don't have DPP, that won't work. Simply, you will be safer if you go option 2, but risk/reward for option 1

DacZawson · 19/06/2017 at 18:18
The 40 extra points you're gonna get from trading Barrett a week earlier isn't worth a whole trade. Go for option 2, stay patient

DeeSupreme · 19/06/2017 at 16:50
Must be a few staff at afl house with SC teams featuring buddy & Jelwood. It might be a good week for Doch to get punchy

Tyruddanaut · 19/06/2017 at 16:55
Praiise the SuperCoach Gods

hedski · 19/06/2017 at 17:01
Didn't even realise Rooey was getting looked at too, thank god they all got off or I was fingered.

DavidSA · 19/06/2017 at 17:17
It's TV ratings and money making that keeps the big names from actually doing any time for things that would sit the lesser names out for weeks. This is the same shite as always.
But Fyfe got a week for a bump you say? Yup a big name player but not relivant to the AFL when it's teams outside of Victoria. Vic+big name = fine Hodge, Jelwood, Franklin ect are proof

DavidSA · 19/06/2017 at 17:18
Franklin plays for Sydney now though…. yup but is also too valuable to the AFL for TVs ratings taking him out for a week

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 17:27
I did think Buddy was lucky to get away with that. Looked a little intentional

Hester · 19/06/2017 at 18:37
You are a sook!

Rooster XXX · 19/06/2017 at 20:55
What absolute rubbish mate!! What other conspiracy theories you got for us Mulder… Elvis is alive??

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 21:30
I have Buddy so I'm happy he got away with it. Would have meant playing Parsons

Bells · 19/06/2017 at 19:21
What did Jones do???? Watched the game and can't recall anything.

hedski · 19/06/2017 at 20:01
Same

Swans2012 · 19/06/2017 at 20:03
I think it was an off the ball???

Tyruddanaut · 19/06/2017 at 16:55
Then again, some players get weeks because they have a name

Rooster XXX · 19/06/2017 at 20:53
Absolute dribble mate!! Nothing in the incident at all, unlucky to even cop a fine

Pete · 19/06/2017 at 21:29
No, in the action of falling, enough evidence to create doubt it was not deliberate.

DeeSupreme · 19/06/2017 at 17:15
McCrae or Wallis who will ton up more regularly for rest of year

HarryO · 19/06/2017 at 17:21
I just went Macrae on the w/e… i think i regret it wallis will avg just as well and a cheaper price. better than greene also

jez_m · 19/06/2017 at 18:44
General rule of thumb is anything over 120 is good for a VC. Even if Danger gets 140 for example, you're only missing out on 20 points.

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 17:05
Definitely pray hard to the gods! That's low. Maybe hold Scooter. Probably only misses a couple

TigerNut · 19/06/2017 at 19:11
I thought 6 was low… I'd be holding scooter mate. I did this last year and 6 wasn't enough trades by the end of the year. I ended up having a donut in a league final. So hold all your trades. No more bang bang haha

Danners · 19/06/2017 at 19:28
Lost myself a long time ago this Supercoach season. Two donuts last week doesn't help

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 17:06
Zerrett & Neale are good options

TigerNut · 19/06/2017 at 19:02
I like it. I have been wanting Cotch for ages. My first upgrade was to Heppell. Wish I went cotch instead. Good POD

Danners · 19/06/2017 at 19:27
Would rather Cripps, but Cotchin isn't too bad

Danners · 19/06/2017 at 19:27
DePendlebury

Guru · 19/06/2017 at 20:27
Go left field. Everyone is considering the same midfielders to bring in. Go a Duncan or Ross type.

Pete · 19/06/2017 at 21:33
Neale

Will · 19/06/2017 at 21:54
Yeah think i might go Neale

Don't Blush Baby · 19/06/2017 at 17:45
Yeo, Witts, Steele, Kruiser are some other mid pricers that come to mind on first thoughts, all made over 100k and some are still going

Hawkas2017 · 19/06/2017 at 18:09
Kelly GUN

BrownlowBoy · 19/06/2017 at 18:33
There is somewhat a changing of the Supercoach guard. Players such as Shaw, JPK, Ablett, Riewoldt won't be bought into next year with the likes of Doch, Oliver, Kelly, Merrett, Yeo emerging before our eyes.

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 18:35
Was listening to a draft expert yesterday who said he can only see 29 players "draft worthy". Usually twice that much. He said next years draft was way better. That will mean rookie options will be limited & the need for mid pricers under valued will probably be needed

Derek · 19/06/2017 at 19:47
Don't tell me that!

Jake.B · 19/06/2017 at 19:53
Weird. Considering last year they said that this year's draft was going to be way better haha.

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 21:33
Things changed quickly it seems! 29 players is not good. Hopefully some more step up. Like 40 of them

Dutch · 19/06/2017 at 20:04
I heard the same, from memory early afternoon on sen, may need to revisit our strategies if that is correct. Having said that it's the quality of the top 20-30 that's arguably more important for sc than the depth of the talent pool, and they were mostly talking about depth. The talk was around clubs trading away 2nd and 3rd round picks from this years draft as a result .

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 20:14
Yep Dutch. It was Brett Anderson on SEN. He knows his stuff

Moustachio · 20/06/2017 at 08:48
Draft experts told us this years crop was a strong. Draft experts are pretenders just like the rest of us…

Cr0magn0n · 19/06/2017 at 18:46
Hey David, I like that you're planning ahead. I do this too. Here's the thing, each season presents different challenges and different opportunities. It's making sure you exploit the opportunities that will improve your game. So, I think hard and fast rules could hold you back from building the best team you could. For example, you've said no mid pricers. I'd argue that the likes of Nank, Sandi, Oliver, Steele, Scooter, Murphy, Marchbank and maybe most of all Witts have been resounding successes. Next year looks to be hard IMO, there won't be the gun players returning from injury that we had this year. Hopefully the trade period will throw us some bones with players changing clubs to seek better opportunities. Best of luck with it buddy.

TOPHAWK1 · 19/06/2017 at 19:16
Hi David,
I have a rule going into each season of Supercoach. It's a new season, and we start again. I try to remember the little errors I made in previous year(s) and build from there. Many coaches tend to over research and over analyse things.
With all due respect to Derek, he is a good example. He does not own Docherty and here we are looking at round 14! I started with the doc, because he was good last year and has youth on his side. Big upside.
Kade Simpson is the opposite. He is on the downward slide to retirement, despite still being a great player. This game is always in a state of flux Dave. Try and keep it simple. Its more fun that way.
Good luck next year mate.

Derek · 19/06/2017 at 20:00
I'm a good example of someone who for the last couple of years have stuck stubbornly to my golden rules and unfortunately where they might have held true in previous years (top 100 twice) they have failed me this year.
Rules are good, but maybe I've got too many.

KrazeeEyezK1lla · 20/06/2017 at 08:48
to be honest, not sure doing a ton of research and planning is all that necessary. if you know footy, which I'm sure you do, just back yourself in. I didn't play last season as I was overseas for 6 months, and didn't pay attention to any stats at all, so when I decided to make a team this year I spent maybe a couple hours or deciding on a team, read some stuff on here, and bang. just before the bye rounds I was ranked around 700 overall. now, some planning for the bye round may have been smart as I'm now ranked 1620 overall(oops), but the moral of the story is, just back yourself in. you don't want it to be a chore. take a punt and see how you go!

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 19:33
You'll have a crap 2018 then as well.
1. Good rule.
2. Not bad.
3. So this will apply to rucks too?
4. Lol, rubbish.
5. So you will get no breakouts, and no good midpricers. Guns and rookies again hey. If the season is like 2017 get ready to fall behind all over again.
6. I hope Doch is 700K, then you'll get him, and I'll get him round 5 or so for 100K less.
List of successful midpricers 2017
Josh Kelly (kinda midprice)
Oliver
Heeney
Yeo
Roberton
Kreuzer
Sandi
Murphy
Beams
Z. Jones
Steele
WHE
Witts
Marchbank
Sheed
Papley
Pederson
Taranto
McGrath
The problem isn't mid priced players it's YOU. Look at the names in that list and how they are performing. Your strategy is laughable.
Brutal honesty was needed here David, you just failed to pick the right players.

Cr0magn0n · 19/06/2017 at 19:54
Brutal!

Don't Blush Baby · 19/06/2017 at 20:03
also add Brad Ebert – started at 437k now 550k

Derek · 19/06/2017 at 21:52
Over the previous 3 years I had one out of 11 midpricers do well.
I started this year with the memory of BSmith and Rich still in my head
Fact is most midpricers fail. We only remember the one who didnt
I could give you a list longer than that of midpricers who were not good

DavidSA · 19/06/2017 at 22:33
well no shit Sherlock
Hindsight is a funny thing ain't it
Of that list you put up I had Steele, Nank, McGrath, Beams and Marchbank in my mid priced starting players. Can't fit them all in can you. You make such a claim based on no evidence "brutally honest" how honest you think you are being is debatable.
Oliver, Murphy and such or maybe should have worded it better for people like you "players who have been that cheep and have far far… far exceeded expectation.
Docherty you will wait hmm like this year went well for that strategy doh! Bad hope for 700k at my expense lol righteo
Problem is you can't just give feedback you have to be a prick at the same time don't you

DavidSA · 19/06/2017 at 22:34
@whatisyourproblem

Moustachio · 20/06/2017 at 12:44
Great list (and response… lol)

Hoot · 19/06/2017 at 20:20
Burton had been great for me. Mid priced selections will alalways play their role.

Pete · 19/06/2017 at 21:54
Too much analysis and too many rules. Look for young players on the rise not older players in decline. Injured players returning after missing half a season such as Murphy,Sandilands, Beams can be good value but don't go for players out for a season or more such as Roughead or OMeara. Keep it simple, the players are still human after all, not machines.

Rocksta · 19/06/2017 at 22:03
I don"t agree with the GnR.
I went GnR this season aside from Beams, JOM and Sandi and will really struggle to get my last 2 Premos in due to limited cash gen potential.The reason for this is that the Rookies for the most part have been shite, and I've lost patience with them and thus traded them out prematurely.
I think bringing in the right mid pricers is the difference between being in the top 1000 and the top 10,000. I'm not saying to go mid price madness, but how I woyld have loved to have had Murphy, Oliver, Witts from the start.

Derek · 20/06/2017 at 08:40
The GnR strategy had a golden period with the Suns, GWS, Port and Essendon offering us endless choice of high scoring rookies, especially back when you could get the #1 draft pick for $117k.
we did have the Green Vest to worry about
I stuck with the old Guard. My mids are; Ablett, Danger, Selwood, Fyfe, Pendlebury, JPK, Hanners and TMitch.
Defenders; Shaw, Laird, Simpson, Adams, Rance.
About time I look at the younger brigade.

The Ranger · 20/06/2017 at 10:02
Spot on Derek. The old guard have under performed and the younger breed have stepped up.
But next year this years young mid priced brigade will be priced at a higher level so I'm already trying to spot who will be next years Oliver, Kelly, Lloyd etc.
However I think it's a mistake to think that just because the midpricers have done well this year it will be the same next year.

Moustachio · 20/06/2017 at 08:47
Midpricers have been king this year, either as keepers or short term stepping stones. Oliver Murphy Beams Witts Yeo Heeeny Hibberd Jones Nank Sandi….. Of course plenty of failed ones too. Just have to pick the right ones ie consult the crystal ball.
I reckon the more hard rules people make, the worse their rank gets. Go with your gut, be flexible. Rules are for squares man.

TRIGGER HAPPY · 20/06/2017 at 10:12
By all means do your research but if you are tossing up two players always back your gut.
You gotta listen to the little man
Won't get em all right if u do happy days but more often than not the gut call is the right call.
Midprice clear winner this year over GnR.

jez_m · 19/06/2017 at 18:46
Of those two, Parker. Two tons in the last two weeks suggest he might have turned the corner.

Danners · 19/06/2017 at 19:26
Parker if he doesn't park the car

NutSack · 20/06/2017 at 02:03
and i bet you loved it spider

BrownlowBoy · 19/06/2017 at 18:31
Good decision.

Tony · 19/06/2017 at 19:08
Of course none of them were suspended. This is how the AFL works. Is there any football supporter anywhere who thought there would be a suspension amongst the 3 mega golden boys – Jelwood, Buddy and Rooey? The MRP puppets wouldn't even have needed to consult with the AFL Commission puppeteers to reach the required decisions.

Cr0magn0n · 19/06/2017 at 19:55
Illuminati?

Joel · 19/06/2017 at 18:59
Im just waiting for his price to come down, he's got a BE of just under 200

Whatyasmokin · 19/06/2017 at 19:15
Trading him out? No.

Derek · 19/06/2017 at 19:44
Apparently he had the flu on the weekend

Hoot · 19/06/2017 at 20:22
He will be a steal in 4rds if he gets back to full games.

Moustachio · 20/06/2017 at 08:40
Nope, had gastro on weekend.

Derek · 19/06/2017 at 19:43
Who will you upgrade Swallow to? How much cash do you have?

Dannn · 19/06/2017 at 19:56
ill have 625 to spend, so i can upgrade swallow to anyone. was thinking Merret or Dusty.

redherringfc · 19/06/2017 at 20:17
has to be pendles, doesn't it?

Moustachio · 20/06/2017 at 08:41
… yep

TheBenchmark25 · 19/06/2017 at 19:21
Definitely worth the thought
The first two things that came to mind were : risky and big balls
Risky because if someone goes down you won't have the depth. But then again you'll still average nearly a trade a week to the end of the year with at least one rookie coverage on the pine. Doesn't really sound risky when I think about it now
Either way love the insight and I'm going to be looking at that aswell. There is definitely strategic merit in that
I'm been thinking about it more. So I now don't think it's risky but the upside is save 20k on a cheaper rookie and create a loophole
I've already got the freo rookie ruckman so I feel I'm using a trade to gather 20k which is why I think I did it from the very start to save a trade.
Nothing is crazy to think about in SuperCoach this year hahah

Bells · 19/06/2017 at 19:25
Anyone think Josh DC gets a game at Freo? Had a great game in the WAFL two weeks ago. Has he been pressing?
Cheap as DPP.
I'm pretty keen.

TOPHAWK1 · 19/06/2017 at 19:33
I don't give a rats if he does not play a single game. He will be my "patsy" loophole slave, alongside Mitch Hibberd down back, and Brett Eddy up forward. I need to get to full premo ASAP and this move will provide me the fast cash needed to get Zerrett.

Don't Blush Baby · 19/06/2017 at 19:53
Tophawk, I'm also looking the donuts who won't play this year due to injury – Oscar Junker who is a Def / Mid @ 103k and the only Mid / FWD is Tom Ahern @ 124k and their both from North Melbourne

Tommo · 19/06/2017 at 20:18
Corey Maynard 102k Mid/Fwd from the Dees

hedski · 19/06/2017 at 20:15
I've had him since round 1, if he gets a game good i'll probably need him, have strnadica now so not lacking a loop, will look for Stewart to Hibbo jnr next week for another.

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 21:21
I like it Top Hawk. Don't be surprised to see Deluca Cardillo play soon. He's played some great games in the WAFL recently & banging down the door. And for once Ross has been playing some rookies. Not by choice of course. Either way his inclusion has multiple benefits

TOPHAWK1 · 19/06/2017 at 21:58
Thanks INPieman
If Josh Deluca-Cardillo does play, then that is great! All part of the game plan.

Marshy · 19/06/2017 at 21:45
Yeh stupid. You have had Scooter for one or two weeks and set to rise 50-60K. Minor hammie strain one week probably, perhaps two.

Moustachio · 20/06/2017 at 08:40
You don't need any more cullable rookies, you may or may not want bench cover from them tho.
I would get Lloyd now. Don't be fooled by his projected price rise as he is projected to score in the 60's, whereas we expect more like 100 from him. Will go up more than Zerrett.

Derek · 19/06/2017 at 19:37
Low on trades. You might have to leave your rucks, defender and forward line as and just make sure you upgrade your 2 midfield.
How much cash and ideally who do want in midfield?

Josh · 19/06/2017 at 21:00
I got 187k in the bank. I was thinking of uprading barrett and selwood to Rockliff and possibly sloane. Then downgrade stewart to 102k rookie. The upgrade witts to Gawn when I get the cash??

Derek · 20/06/2017 at 08:29
Not bad

Moustachio · 20/06/2017 at 08:37
You've got to upgrade Scooter and Barrett ASAP. Lesser priority on Witts, Higgins, Newman if possible later.

jez_m · 19/06/2017 at 20:27
Most recent reports say he should be back.

TOPHAWK1 · 19/06/2017 at 19:21
Its too late for Balic. I am a huge fan, but he is no longer in my side. Even if he plays in the WAFL this week, and perhaps the next, he may not get a call up until round 16. He is no longer 2017 SC relevant. In 2018 I will loo at him again. Very talented kid.

Happy to hear · 20/06/2017 at 00:51
That's great news, I'm happy for the lad.
Hope he gets plenty of the pill and Freo play the boy soon.

Hubba · 19/06/2017 at 22:05
Paint the fence… 5 trades wont be enough to see out 9 rounds

Hubba · 19/06/2017 at 22:07
Wrong terrm… just hold trades for a week or two

Keenbutclueless · 19/06/2017 at 20:35
consider WHE and Swallow out for Grundy. Move Nank forward

Defying_Madness · 19/06/2017 at 20:39
Would pick Goldy, Kreuzer or Mummy all ahead of Grundy

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 21:08
Maybe wait 2 weeks on the ruck move by turning WHE into Gawn & Swing Nank back then. Assume it's Z Jones in defence & he's been rubbed out & done his job. I would consider trading Tom Stewart to Alex Witheden (Mid/Def) 117k for bank & loophole & swing with Hibberd. One of Brissy or North plays late pretty much every week. Also Witheden is likely to play soon & could be handy cover later. I'll be creating the same thing looping Newman & Ryan with Oscar Junker from the mids. Then upgrade Jones to perhaps Roberton or whoever you like

Moustachio · 20/06/2017 at 08:32
You have tons of trades. I would burn a bunch to be honest, upgrade def x2, ruc x1 (wait for Gawn for the other) and fwd x1. Downgrade Swallow, bunch of cash doin nothing on your bench. Get to full premo before worry about bench cover.

Swans2012 · 19/06/2017 at 20:45
Perhaps not dropped but definitely not same output….

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 20:54
Agree with Swans. It he keeps his spot he's a forward that chops out

NutSack · 20/06/2017 at 02:02
the guy has great hands and is hard at it and should play on the wing and around the ground. otherwise dees will lose him

Daniel Z · 20/06/2017 at 12:43
I had a similar thought a couple weeks back. Undoubtedly, other clubs have noticed what he is capable of, so the Dees will need to play him or he'll look for a starting gig elsewhere.

PBW · 19/06/2017 at 20:19
Have you got Mountford? He's on the bubble. I would probably trade Myers -> Mountford. There isn't really any defence downgrades around other than Ryan. How much do you have in bank and how many trades do you have left?
I was thinking of keeping Stewart for rest of the season for my own team. He's a pretty good cover.

Jake.B · 20/06/2017 at 19:20
I have 12 trades and 147k in the bank.
My problem is I don't have Docherty and really want to look at getting him in.
Laird, Hurley, Shaw, Hibberd, Newman & Loud (Stewart & ryan) that's how I sit at the moment. I'm in decisive if I want to get in say Docherty for a shaw.. think newman is a keeper and shaw isnt scoromg to his potentional due to zac williams & wilson playong through his usual role.
Mid – danger, zorko, kelly, oliver, pendles, bonti, fyfe & barret (myers, Fisher, miles – got bolton & Greenwood to switch with miles from the forward line when needed)
I could potentionally downgrade Myers to mountford and then Shaw to Docherty or downgrade Myers to mountford and upgrade Barrett to Merrett. Docherty is only going to get higher for the news few weeks.
Don't think I want to not have him in unless I just run with who I have and risk it which would be silly I think.

Dildor · 19/06/2017 at 20:25
At this point does it matter what rook you trade in? You have ryan as youre cover, maybe bring in a DPP player you can loophole?

Jake.B · 20/06/2017 at 19:20
That could be a great idea

Pete · 19/06/2017 at 21:36
Get rid of Myers. He's awful can't score more than 50 and likely to be dropped surely. Stewart has more cash to make yet.

Moustachio · 20/06/2017 at 08:29
Would grab Mcniece for Stewart. Should get games but doesn't matter much of he doesn't, and frees up max cash.

Jake.B · 20/06/2017 at 19:21
Mcneice is out for a few weeks. Not sure if he is going to get a gig soon or not though hey!

Thomas · 21/06/2017 at 09:24
If you brought him in, it wouldnt be for cash gen. It would be for a loophole

Jake.B · 21/06/2017 at 16:43
I know but I have miles who I have been using that for and to be honest I'm looking at either 1 of the freo or west coast players to use as a loophole. Think there's a 103k player with west coast that play a lot of satdy night/Sunday games that I can do that with (also have strndica)
But yeah that's not what I'm really looking for it's the downgrade Stewart to get someone in to make $$$ and upgrade Shaw to Docherty or look at upgrading Barrett to Merrett hmm

NutSack · 20/06/2017 at 02:01
adams in the mids is a waste

Jink · 20/06/2017 at 08:16
Nah Adams a suitable d78

Jink · 20/06/2017 at 08:16
M78**^^

Mavs17 · 19/06/2017 at 22:26
As sad as it is I think you missed your chance on Doch, he is worth the price, but isn't worth it when it could stuff up going full premo.

JohndJames · 20/06/2017 at 01:30
Doc is only 42k more than at the start and will go up again this week,if you are going to get him do it now,ps he was my first pick at the start since I started with the backs.

Moustachio · 20/06/2017 at 08:27
Docs points are gone, he's not going to keep averaging 140. I'd take the value in midfield. Would look to cull Stewart, berry, Barrett and parsons over next 2 rounds to finish team. By then probably some prick defender will have got injured and you will sideways to Doc.

Guru · 19/06/2017 at 20:39
Nope. Holding as f6 and ruck coverage for as long as possible

Don't Blush Baby · 19/06/2017 at 20:45
Copy that, the Ruck coverage is the kicker ,might save you a trade Whitey and there priceless atm

bdog · 19/06/2017 at 22:30
You must be doing well with a team like that id definitely go option 2

Russty_ · 19/06/2017 at 22:33
I'd trade Harbrow out before Newman..at least Newman's serious about his career.

Pete · 19/06/2017 at 21:38
They're all upgrades so hard to argue against without knowing who you already have.

Defying_Madness · 19/06/2017 at 20:41
Would pass and let those rookies fatten up for upgrades

INPieman · 19/06/2017 at 20:51
Agree Steeeve. And he can also cover your ruck line. Which was part of the reason we got him in the first place

Pete · 19/06/2017 at 21:31
Yep he could also be regarded as a fallen premo and a bargain for a dpp.

Rocksta · 19/06/2017 at 21:44
I agree, but I must say his lack of hit outs was always a concern to me. It means he relies heavily on disposals around the ground and as such is more susceptible to form slumps than a Ruck such as Sandi whom will still get 35plus tapouts regardless.
I'm certainly not going to trade him out though.

TOPHAWK1 · 19/06/2017 at 22:15
I agree. Hold Nankervis. He is not cheap but he is not expensive. Goldy locks!

ahmad rubas · 20/06/2017 at 10:17
shut yo dumass up

Moustachio · 20/06/2017 at 08:17
Wanted him to end up F7 but doubt I can afford a 23rd premo this year

jez_m · 19/06/2017 at 21:00
Your team is looking solid. No harm in holding trades for a couple of weeks.

Pete · 19/06/2017 at 21:26
Forward line needs some work. You've held on to Pickett and Eddy way too long which has lost you some cash generation. With 9 trades left hang on to some of the other rookies for a couple more rounds till they fatten up a bit.

Ja191 · 19/06/2017 at 22:04
can't go wrong either way, all ball magnets. Got zerrett month or so ago and he's been very good. Would go zerrett or neale and toss a coin to decide.

BigBoyBananana · 19/06/2017 at 22:26
Jar Jar Binks you're not wrong champion, thanks for the input, loving Zerrets run home but boy does Titchell only getting 1 score under 100 arouse me! Whichever one I choose will be the wrong one

hedski · 19/06/2017 at 22:13
Yep, gotta bite the bullet sometimes.

Pete · 19/06/2017 at 22:56
Wallis is playing midfield, much more likely to get 80plus. Has a decent ceiling too.

DacZawson · 19/06/2017 at 23:31
Statistically Waite is extremely valuable to the North team, wouldn't say he is the one to go. Scott should bite the bullet over the preseason and tinker the game plan so that Preuss and Goldy play together and improve their skills as forwards, then bank on winning the centre clearances and play a really attacking style of footy. Of course easier said then done but the Kangas aren't too far off consistently competing for top 4 with a few new players (eg. Dusty/Kelly)

Russty_ · 19/06/2017 at 22:29
Yeah it used to be Heath Shaw…not anymore though.

Derek · 20/06/2017 at 08:27
There was a big bloke from Fremantle, wore the #3. Dead set GUN. Just didn't get the accolades he deserved.

Joshua · 20/06/2017 at 14:54
Something tells me you are talking about a certain Dac Zawson….

Moustachio · 20/06/2017 at 08:15
Would guess GAJ or Pendles…

frogger · 20/06/2017 at 14:58
GAJ had 15 in a row back in 2013, for example, as did Pendles in 2014. Have a look at the high avg., low SD types.

Dean · 19/06/2017 at 23:44
Stewart straight to Jake Lloyd
Then trade Berry to Mountford if named to get more cash and next week go Hannan to Yeo
Also look to bring in Brown next week if he plays this week as he will be on the bubble so you can then upgrade Parsons to Macrae or Wallis as your last premo

Cyriledagain · 20/06/2017 at 00:36
Thanks for your import Dean. Would you consider Ryan?

Rocksta · 19/06/2017 at 23:50
No brainer……….Neale and Ryan. Merrett and Neale will average near on the same for the rest of the season so you may as well take Neale and a cash cow.

Finnius123 · 20/06/2017 at 09:34
Neale and Ryan

Rocksta · 19/06/2017 at 23:47
I'd go Merrett. His Standard deviation is stuff all so you can almost bank on the fact that he's going to go 110 to 120 every week. Amazing how such a young player can be so consistent.

Rick Grimes · 20/06/2017 at 04:34
Can't afford Zorko. Gonna be $650 soon. Get similar output from Zerrert for $60k less. Zorks a great pick tho.

Dean · 20/06/2017 at 15:36
Zorko is $610,600
Merrett $568,300 price difference $42,300
Neale $563,900 price difference $46,900
I'm all over the magnificent Zorko – Although I believe those who go Merrett & Neale cant go to far wrong.

Moustachio · 20/06/2017 at 08:14
Chasing points and paying top dollar for him. I would predict the others to outscore him from here, and they're cheaper. Especially Zerrett, he is so young you don't know how much further breakout he has. Zorko not so much.

Pete · 20/06/2017 at 20:46
Players generally reach there peak between age 24 to 30 and Zorko is prime at 28
I concur Zorko is worth the extra coin and will be a top 5 midfielder come season end.

Jeff · 20/06/2017 at 09:51
You're forgetting the price factor.

Finnius123 · 20/06/2017 at 10:21
I jumped on Zorko when he was 560k – but he is far too expensive now. Absolute jet though.

gator59 · 20/06/2017 at 10:37
Who's your other mid??

MTUK · 20/06/2017 at 16:59
Oh yeah, forgot Josh P Kennedy. He's not done much but has picked up in the last few.

INPieman · 20/06/2017 at 12:39
5.6K rank at this point. Worst season for many years. But it's not over yet. 10 rounds to go. See how it pans out

LoganJosh7 · 20/06/2017 at 13:00
im killing it in league but doing woeful in overall. too embarrassed to share haha.
PS cant believe how much drama there is on this site :/

INPieman · 20/06/2017 at 15:02
Trolls. Too many of them

Tyruddanaut · 20/06/2017 at 13:30
Haha, I was replying to Wombats but thanks anyway

INPieman · 20/06/2017 at 15:03
Can't be ranked anywhere if you don't have a team

INPieman · 20/06/2017 at 10:54
Fellow Pie. If Shuey could go post bye 117 like he did last year then that would be a massive win. Suppose your other option is Wines. Either look reasonable options on your budget. Perhaps Shuey with those 6/10 at Domain

Dean · 20/06/2017 at 20:54
J Lloyd has a B/E of just 50 and is only projected to increase by $7,200
Option 2 with out a doubt.

Whatyasmokin · 21/06/2017 at 00:02
His projection is 66, if he goes 110 expect a rise of maybe 30K?

Spanner · 20/06/2017 at 21:33
Why not go Stewart to Ryan and Scooter to Zerrett.

Dean · 20/06/2017 at 22:18
Why go Stewart to Ryan & Scooter to Zerrett. When he can bring in Dusty who is the second highest scorer in SC based on averages.
Granted Zerrett is very good and could end up finishing as one of the top 5 midfielders come season end but surly having Dusty over Zerritt is the best choice especially considering he has 15 trades left and his midfield has only the one top 10 midfielders being Danger, he can go Fyfe to Zerrett at a later stage if he wishes as he has enough trades left over.
I prefer his idea of going Zorko over Zerrett considering Zorko's averages over his last 3 games is 134 and over his last 5 games his averages are 129
Top 10 midfielders based on averages thus far are:
Danger 126
Martin 116
Sloane 116
Titch 115
Neale 114
Zorko 114
Merrett 112
Kelly 112
Gibbs 111
Oliver 110

Dean · 20/06/2017 at 22:33
If you're after JS – Then at this early stage Brown would most definitely be the way to go because Mountford had his first game in round 1 and his second game in round 13 so I don't think Mountford's JS is strong at all.
If you can wait a extra week look at bringing Brown in round 15 – However if you needed to bring in one of those two players in this week and lets say both are named to play this weekend, go for Brown because this means he will play two games in a row.
