Round 15 Supercoach Panic Room
I think I’ve finally calmed down after last Friday. Maybe.
Actually let’s all take a second to shove our collective head out the window and let out one final scream.
Good. Let the hate flow through you. It makes you strong.
Now, cool, calm and collected as a cucumber, onto business.
THE NEWS
Everything is only mildly less awful than it was last week, but not by much.
Nat Fyfe and Aaron Sandilands have been ‘named’ by Freo this week, with Fyfe being proposed as playing forward. That would concern me if I still had him. Also:
In: N.Fyfe, A.Sandilands, B.Grey
Out: –I’ll believe it when I see it #supercoach https://t.co/t9udZHecdE
— AlexieLekdogBeovich (@LekBlog) June 29, 2017
Joel Selwood has been named, but I’m hoping for his long term health as a human being he doesn’t play. My Supercoach team on the other hand is no man, but a sadistic point eating machine! (Pls send help, it’s starving)
Joel’s brother Scott Selwood will miss with injury, however, as will Dayne Beams after he was poleaxed by an oak barrel with legs last weekend.
Supercoach star Gary Ablett and star-to-be Josh Kelly both return for their sides, with Gary locked in to tear North apart.
Zak Jones and Jarryd McVeigh return for the Swans, which will have an interesting impact on Jake Lloyd’s role in the side.
Episode V, Revenge of the Cast-Aside Rookies is upon us, with Mitch Hibberd, Cedric Cox and the infamous 2016 mystery man Ryan Davis from Gold Coast all returning. Adding to the flavour of the round is pre-season hype wunderkid Zach Guthrie’s looming debut.
But you win some and you lose some. In this case we lose Andy Otten, Sam Petrovski-Seton, Tom Stewart, Tim Taranto and Jarrod Pickett all making way.
Also Matt Priddis continues to upset me by missing this week. Knew I should have backed my gut and gone Sloane. DAMMIT MATTHEW.
HEY NOW, YOU’RE A DRAFT STAR
I’m not very good at this, but am of the opinion you absolutely must start Titch and Pendles this week. Titch is the new Draftstars pig while Pendles will go large in game 250.
Pending Sunday selections, I’ve build my side around these two blokes. The selection of Big Boy is purely for the extra cash – Grundy will give him a bath. Mind you, the inclusion of Mason Cox is enough to make you pause.
Broomhead is a lock if he plays.
Stark change to last week where everyone was avoiding the big names and splashing the cash – at least for mine. How are you seeing it, community? Make sure you head on over to run your eye over Higgo’s genius here – or bang on into this week’s free community contest below.

CAPTAIN McCAPTAINFACE
As I’m pressed for time this week, community, I want to throw this week’s superhero to the floor: pick one bloke you reckon will tear it apart this weekend who isn’t Paddy Dangerfield (VC) or Scott Pendlebury (C) – Pendles as it’s his 250th and Dangerfield… well, because he’s Dangerfield.
Mine is (surprise, surprise) Zach Merrett. While he only hit 112 against the Lions earlier in the year, this game last season (at Etihad) he tore the roof off the joint. The Lions are missing most key players in their midfield, and Rockliff still seems to be carrying something. Merrett’s gone at an average of 131 over his past 3 and I reckon he’ll top that this week.
Go Blues!
Never read anything better in my life
VC to Sloane may be the difference… considering
I really like it. Guys with ridiculous ceilings (refer to G.Ablett, T.Rockliff) make the best VC options I say.
Oh, the luxury of being able to view the team changes and then ponder the next move. No frantic changes in the hour between team announcements and the first bounce!
Amen to that…Thursday games suck!
actually like Thursday games – just from a viewers point of view I love it. hate it from a supercoach view
Imagine how difficult it will be to play SC when games become a daily event like the NBA.
Should i field greenwood over t lynch this week? cheers
I'm having the same issue…out of Lynch, Greenwood and Parsons who goes to the pine and who gets the E…
I think Tarrant will be all over Lynch this week. Parsons has the harder match of the three so it's feeling like a coin toss between the others
Yes
i have greenwood at M6 and love it. my dilemma is do i bench lynch for parsons? norths tarrant will lockdown on lynch and possibly another stinker 🙁
Tough! Surely Lynch comes good tho. I'm trying to decide which one to trade to Gawny and which to keep as my F6 with Nank as F7/R3. If Lynch goes gotta be this week, if Greenwood I'll wait a week.
Last week I was looking at the opportunity to loophole Hardwick with Lynch (couldn't do it due to the brief cameo from Pickett).
This week I am looking to loophole Lynch with Hardwick given he's a better chance to post a usable score.
I gotta field Greenwood for JJK (still). Thinking of downgrading Lynch to Matt White (PTA) and leave Parsons as my bench cover. Next week bang-bang full Premo and maybe a luxury trade to Gawn when he drops more $$
I'm torn between two options for Greenwood. Put the E on him in the fwd line and, if he scores well, I'll replace Lynch with Eddy. However, also thinking of using him in the same way in the mids for Witherden.
Thinking I need to bin Priddis, can anyone give me a reason not too?
Id trade
if you have the cash i'd trade up to a bont or merrett. if your strugglin for $$ and have solid benchcover maybe hold a week or two for jelwood and rocky to bottom out around ya 450k straight swap nearly.
VC Gaz, C danger
Let's hope Danger doesn't get Baby Brain like Pendles did
Reasonable to get zerret for beams this week and jelwood or dusty for sloane if he keeps this shit up?
I'm going Doch into Danger. But as per Patches rule of "who isn’t Paddy Dangerfield (VC) or Scott Pendlebury (C)" I'll go
Doch (VC) into Zerret (C)
need to downgrade S.Selwood this weeek to 1 of C.brown or WItherden… after JS!
then next week beams to either rocky or jelwood when they bottom out..
Anyone else deeply concerned about Fyfe and this potential upfield business? Is it better to just cut our losses than risk a massive turd of a score?
i'm holding rick. i feel a few weeks to freshen up will have helped and sandi tappin down his throat again will be happy days. but am extremely nervous! also i just dont have the trades to be making moves like this
If you've held him this far hold him
Traded Fyfe during the byes. I've slept a lot better the last couple of weeks.
Blakely got dropped for chucking a sickie from training to go surfing, opens up the mid spot for Nathan
This is my favorite post. I love reading people's thoughts on what they think Ross Lyon may do…….
Rodney Eade has been reported saying that Tom Lynch (GC) has been fighting mental demons
So have I since I brought him in
LOL
Does anyone know the length of Scooters injury
1 weeek at this stage.
About 3cm it's only a small tear
5 years.
I bloody hope you're joking
Hey guys. What's the minimum amount of trades you should have now? I need 1 more trade to be full premo but don't want to burn myself later on. Need to win almost every game in my money league to make finals…
In a money league just go for broke, Starry. Having trades in the bank won't do much good if you miss out on finals
You'll only win a money league if you take risks, this should be one
Let's pray the gods are kinder to us this Friday Patch. Last week was brutality
Is Greene out!?
Zac Williams. It begins
Hope not. Why? Haven't heard that one yet!!
Done a hammy. Replaced by Finlayson who's debuting
Well I don't think I'll trade Shaw now. He should be back to his old position that Williams has been playing.
Hi All,
7 trades left 180k in the bank 2 trades from premo (considering holding Greenwood at F6 hes better than the other spuds out there which means 1 trade from premo)
Question is, does Marc Murphy need to go. I am toying with upgrading him to Merret..
I dont want to blow trades but I just feel like hes done for the season.
At this stage you keep. If you have trades left you can jump on someone who is steaming home
Scrap Murphy immediately! a 5 round ave of almost 80 isn't good enough from a mid Merrett will give you an extra 40+ points each week
My only trade this week..
Myers > Witherden.
I am holding Scooter until a mid drops below $473k that I want.. 3k short of Robbie gray :(.
Get a $102k rooki instead of Witherden
Wait til after Joel Selwood drops in the next few weeks
Now that it is being reported that Tobias Greene has done his hammy who is the next best fwd option out of Heeney and Buddy?
Or is the Zac Williams injury?
Zac Williams strained his hammy and won't play, haven't heard anything about Greene.
Where'd you get your info from?
Williams officially withdrawn & replaced. Toby Greene still just a rumour
Cheers Pie…bloody hate rumours!
How long is Williams out for ?
For me, that means i hold Heater another week and slap him with a C.
Playing Geelong, he should see that footy quite a bit.
I hope..
Fantasy Freako on twitter, could be based on rumour though.
Cheers, I saw this on AFL late mail too…….
Some big news out of GWS, as Adam Curley reports
GREATER Western Sydney defender Zac Williams has been ruled out of Saturday's crucial clash with Geelong with a hamstring injury and there are suggestions star forward Toby Greene may have hurt his hamstring at training on Friday morning.
GWS just released this statement:
Toby Greene completed training this morning and was assessed by medical staff for ankle soreness. He is expected to play in #AFLGIANTSCats.
Revised question: assuming Tobias plays who is the best fwd option out of him, Gerber and Bud?
Probably Gerber Thomas he's a gun…..is that Heeney?
Nank or Parsons on field ? Can't loop Eddy ,was looking at Nank to Greene until the rumours started.
seriously? nank every day
Nank for sure
If Parsons outscores Nank it will likely only be by 10-20, but Nank could easily outscore Parsons by 40+.
Bank every day
Greene will play DBB, his so called 'Hammy" injury was just a bit of ankle soreness.
Oh crikey – don't know what to do
bring in Dusty or Heeney
Heeney is $100k cheaper
but Dusty is average is 14 higher (or rolling 3 match is 17 higher)
Or even Neale – oh the dilemma
Toby Greene completed training this morning and was assessed by medical staff for ankle soreness. He is expected to play in #AFLGIANTSCats.
Missed all the carnage last week. Have Williams out this week. I guess nobody escapes everything.. hopefully that's my only out. Greene on my never never list so safe there.
No flog policy capatain?
Absolutely 🙂 He may be a good player but….
Need a hand here. Got Beams and Z Williams in my side. Need the H2H win this week. Got 10K and 9 trades.
Should I:
1. Trade both Z Will and Beams for similar players
2. Leave Z Will, Trade Beams for premo mid and do Barrett > M White, play Berry for Z Will
3. Leave Beams for this week, play SPP on field, Trade Z Will for premo def and Barrett to Matt White
4. any suggestions let me know!
I wouldnt go matt white. the two good bubble options are schoenmakers (155k) or witherdon (117k). will give you more cash than white as well
What to do with Taranto?
Out for the season. Trade
Trade
Absolutely trade
must trade Morty
13 trades and $1500 cash
Thinking of Stewart/Barrett out for Macrae/Witherden
Still have Nank (FWD), Scooter and Steele. Looking at Gawn for Nank next week.
Assuming Steele returns, do I trade Barrett (BE 118) or Steele (BE 128) first?
Barrett goes first for mine. Steele was tough to be dropped. Gone back to VFL level and (unsurprisingly) carved it up
Agree with Kev, gotta get rid of Barrett. If Steele does play he's got a much higher ceiling
Right now it doesn't matter what we want to do .. SC won't stay up long enough to make changes or reverse changes .. anyone else experiencing this?
If your on the app you need to delete it & reinstall it. Solves the problem
I'd love the thoughts from the community about what's the best move. Currently have 13 trades and $80k bank:
DEF: Doc, Adams, Howe, Laird, Shaw, Newman (Scharenberg, Ryan)
MID: Danger, Treloar, Pendles, JPK, Bont, Fyfe, LLoyd, SPP (Beams, Scooter, Cousins)
R: Grundy, Sandi (Cameron)
FWD: Heeney, Macrae, Dahl, Nank, Greenwood, Lynch (Hannan, Bolton)
I'm playing for leagues with an easy game against 2nd bottom this week, so I'll hold Scooter as well as the Fantastic Four known as Shaw, Fyfe, Nank and Lynch.
Option 1 – single swap
Beams > Neale, Crips or Mitchell
Option 2:
Beams > Zerret or Dusty
Hannan > Brown
Option 3:
Beams > Yeo
Option 4:
Beams > Witherden or JDC
Hannan > Yeo
I'm leaning towards option 1 as I think Neale is great value, whereas Yeo may come down a bit more in price. Option 4 is probably my second choice as it gears me up to get Gawn for Sandi next week and look at bringing in the likes of Rocky & Joel for Scooter and SPP in the coming weeks.
Option 1
I think White is most likely of this week's rookies to make $100-150K from his starting price. That's why I am leaning towards him over the Beech/Brown types. He will be my final trade up in about R19 for my seventh fwd so I can start lopping Nank as my F7.
I guess its a different story if you are looking to bring in someone you don't plan to trade out again … even still, the others don't fill me with much confidence and/or lack dual position flexibility
White appears to have at least some J S Got loads of pace but remember Houston could be a trap
White does this every year, plays a couple scores well then disappears. They call him 'Selleys' at Alberton because he is only used for filling gaps
Who for Beams, Merritt, Neale or Kennedy
Good luck tonight in TDF.
Mate SuperCoach is far more important then the TDF. I need a win in my league.
Team Done. Scooter on the pine til his bro is a swap over. 5 trades left. Greenwood the swingman for loopholing. Strnadica for the capt role he does so well. Real risk is Shazza and Ryan on def bench. Just thought I'd put the mozzon early.
Bont, Cripps or Gray for Beams
With Scooter on the pine, I have to bring Mountford on field with Greenwood sitting at F6. Pickett (M10) not selected and Bolton (F7) doubtful as an Emergency.
Trying not to trade with 7 left and $112k. The prize of Jelwood and Gawn is worth another week or 2 waiting.
Please SC Gods, no late outs this week!!!
Thoughts on going early on Stewart to Witherden and Shaw to Z Merrett (leaving Newman as D6)? Team is:
Doch, Adams, Laird, Rance, Shaw, Newman (Stewart, Ryan)
Danger, Pendles, Rockliff, Bontempelli, Hannebery, Fyfe, J Lloyd, Greenwood (Bolton, Hibberd, Cousins)
Martin, Sandi (Strnadica)
Yeo, Dahlhaus, Macrae, Franklin, Heeney, Nank (Parsons, Eddy)
Shaw nsmed on wing. Should get lots of pill
Have thought he'd get lots of the pill all year! Would ideally need to go with Merrett this week given his low BE so it could be now or never…
Sounds real nice 🙂
Might be worth holding Shaw to see is Zach Williams out changes anything.
Love the Panic Room Patch.
Can go to full "Keeper" (barring Nank) this week if I ship out Scooter Selwood and Hannan for Robbie Gray and Jack Billings.
Leaves me with 6 trades and 90k left in the bank; then next week a downgrade of parsons/berry to anyone cheap + Nank to Gawn.
Other thought is to have Berry on field this week in mids for scooter, trade out Hannan for Billings/Greene,get Gawn next week and Jelwood in 2 weeks after price crash.
Thoughts on either plan?
I like jelwood better than Robbie but up to you.
also witherdon is a great rookie to get next week 🙂
Unless high up in the ranks option 2 is better – and I like Billings as a pod
Which two would you pick for your side: Neale, Ablett, Pendles, T.Mitchell?
T Mitchell and Neale.
Pendles, Neale
No love for Ablett? Was thinking of bringing him in… Must go huge in game 300 at home against North?
I have Tmitch. Trying to work out who to swap for Beams….Dusty, JPK, Ablett or Pendels. Each day this week I have changed my mind! As tonights game gets closer, I am thinking Kennedy now but cant be sure!
Yeah, I'm in the same boat! Hard picking the best premo's.
All done – went Kennedy. Logic – Ablett injury prone. Just dont like the Pies. My plan is to do a few more downgrades in coming weeks (Stewart, SPP, Greenwood) free up some cash so I can get Dusty in as well. Plus with his BE at 145, I think he will come back a bit in price. Still have 12 trades so should be able to get there.
Pendles and Mitchell for me.
Titch and Neale
Selwood got on the plane to Sydney, so let's hope the bugger gets cleared to do his thing.
Joel would get thru the concussion test while he's still spasming on the ground asleep Russty, surely he's done it a hundred times now.
Trading Stewart and Hannan to Witherden and Brown/Beech
Thoughts???
Don't like going pre-bubble and I don't think either of Brown or Beech's JS is too crash hot
Neither will be consistently onfield so they are purely for cash
Fair enough but they won't be making any cash if they're not playing
Will take Beech
As some no im based in WA, word im getting out of Melb is Selwood will play. Hope so cos im a little jittery about fielding Hibberd from nth.
don't blame you there Stirls but suspect he will go ok .Been burning at vfl level
Between Neale, merret, Rockliff and Joel Selwood I have to pick two to finish of my team the o my combination I can't do is Neale and merret
PLEASE HELP
Cant go wrong with either. I've got all but Selwood.
Given selwood's soon to be price, think he will be perfect for your team, and a pod in comparison to thise who are already full premo. Lock him in.
Do you rate Rockliff highly and think he will return to form. I sure do, but dont know when. If you personally think that will be soon then rocky needs to be picked.
Merrett if you want consistency.
Neale if you want an underrated pod, with a few question marks over hiw he will perform from here on.
So my suggestion is Selwood and Rocky if you are going for the prize.
Selwood and Merrett if you want a bit more consistency and assurance.
Selwood and Neale if you want a somewhat POD to catch up in ranks.
But god all three are good players, and the difference will likely be sweet F all.
Cheers
Firstly, who do I trade for C. Brown OR M.White? T. Nankervis OR J. Parsons…
TRADE NANK >> Brown ($317,200)
TRADE NANK >> White ($236,700)
TRADE PARSONS >> Brown ($135,600)
TRADE PARSONS >> White ($54,500)
Have you considered not trading?
why trade parsons hes just had his best score by far? gonna go up nicely for the next two weeks
Need cash to upgrade Greenwood in a few weeks
Brown dropped
Great work again Patch. Hopefully this week will be better for you and us all.
Which of the following options would suggest out of:
1) S Selwood to Witherden and SPP to Zerrett (9 trades and 108k)
2) Hannan to White and S Selwood to Bont or Macrae (9 trades and 62k with Bont)
3) S Selwood to White and SPP to Bont, Macrae, J Selwood and Merrett (9 trades and 26k with Merrett)
Not sure who out of White or Witherden has better job security. Both are DPP's which is a bonus.
Thoughts????
option 1
Witherden has the better JS imo, id like another look at him but not much around.
Thanks Nick and Stirlsy. Agree that Fagan is more likely to persist with him than Hinkley will with White. Should I trade Hannan (via DPP with Bolton) or go with Option 1 as suggested.
Who to VC and C out of these guys:
Docherty, Danger Merrett, Zorko, Treloar, JPK, Bont and Merrett
Was thinking of VC on JPK and C on Danger, or VC Danger and C Merrett?? Please help!!
Danger into Merrett
Lets all pray that zac williams out can rekindle the heath shaw of 2016!!
S Hill Blakely & Deluca removed from the Freo squad. Ross up to his tricks again
you follow dr supercoach? 😉
or are you dr supercoach!
Deluca was my mid cover. now I really need Jelwood to play. I don't want to have to move Greenwood to my E in mid, then lose his score if Jelwood does play. will get a donut if he misses though…
Tough conundrum there Krazee
I posted this below. this could be my option.
Can we see Cousins from Hawks getting another game anytime soon? Hawks feel like they're a chance for finals so I dunno If I can see them blooding any young players. considering dropping him for Witherden, which is a fairly minor gain.
would leave me with 134k, 6 trades with only Greenwood to turn into premo. Nank will also become Gawn next week for cheap. also gives me midfield cover this weekend should Jelwood be a late out
Sort of in same boat, but hibberd can replace if late out, if they call it early that his an out i can move Adams up to guts and play Ryan but if its a game time call im left with Hibbered.
Ah my loop slave Deluca is back.
Does anyone honestly see a point in trading nankervis, considering he is averaging 93 this year.
Unless you for some reason haven't got the big gun fwds like Yeo, Macrae, Heeney, or Dalhouse, who the hell else would you bring in? NickRoo/Dixon/Buddy who are all averaging less?
Only valid reason would be to get Gawn. But I'll be stuffed if its worth sideways trading to another fwd who will likely go worth, or at the best get 5 more points a match. Boo rant over
Buddy has been quiet. expect him to go BANG a few times soon
Hopefully tonight Kraze.
Your hopes have been answered
Its not the avg for the year that is the worry Dave its his avg over past 6 games that is saying trade his past 6 games is avg 80.6 and his last 3 is 72.3 you do the maths Dave.
Stewart to Witherden. Yes or No.
Yep.
No
Can we see Cousins from Hawks getting another game anytime soon? Hawks feel like they're a chance for finals so I dunno If I can see them blooding any young players. considering dropping him for Witherden, which is a fairly minor gain.
would leave me with 134k, 6 trades with only Greenwood to turn into premo. Nank will also become Gawn next week for cheap. also gives me midfield cover this weekend should Jelwood be a late out
Poppy out cousins on extended bench
Cousins named as 3rd Emergency on Sunday which suggests he probably isn't too far away from getting another crack. I've got him on my bench and are holding for now as he will make more coin once selected.
thoughts on nank to matt white and then berry to roberton, howe, hurley, or rance? this would leave me with 8 trades and needing to upgrade f6 and m8 and a possible sideways to gawn from grundy. as well as approximatey $180,000 in the bank
Ross might fade him for that
Trade
Callum Brown & Ben Reid omitted. Can't believe my eyes to see Reid omitted. Buckley trying to lose his job faster
I understand Brown but like you Pieman I am more than a little surprised to see Reidy being omitted!
Staggered Wal. For Mason Cox. Please
Reid has to be sore or something, surely they play him up fwd over Cox.
Get down there Pieman and tell em to give Fatso a game…
Buckley has some sort of fitness policy not aiding fatso's cause
Should judge selection on a pie eating comp.
Would be close to leading the 2s goal kicking and that is Bucks problem, he thinks the whole team can kick a ball like he could, and less then 5 can in the entire squad, and that kills his gameplan every week.
But he keeps coaching down the same path.
When I first saw him play I thought it was Serena but itell you this kid can take a grab and has a lot of mongrel something some at the club don't have… The new coach will sort him out
Rooe$$y!!
is Scooter just precautionary and possibly a week? or has he restrained and 2-3 weeks…
They're just saying a week so far…
The weather is shitful over here Surf lol its a washing machine out there, im 2 hours from perth it might be missing them but they will cop it Sunday.
Don't blame him. I'd rather go swimming with Great Whites than hang around Ross too
Oliver or Neale?
Neale
Danger, Martin, TMitchell, Zerrett, JPK, Treloar, H.Greenwood and…. Beams.
Who is the best mid in apart from those I've named to bring in for Beams? Cheers all!
Pendles, absolutely no question
What do you think i do, do i trade in docherty in a few weeks meaning i use an extra trade (12 trades left) and have to play ryan and witherden (Zac williams on bench) this week or do i trade in harbrow/hurley/howe this week saving a trade?
get in docherty, you have the amount of trades where if you are in a situation like this you can use it, and use it well
Simpson or Newman on field in defence this week?
are you able to loop? if not I would say Newman. Simpson only really scores well when he's playing +1 in defence as we saw vs gold coast eg. Rotating him is hurting his scoring – newman safer option
You would think the ball would be down in the Carlton backline a bit I'd go Simpson
Loop Newman if you can.
Not sure of his role with McVeigh back.
Simpson

May as well just not reply if you're only gonna be a dick.
Who's got the better JS between Beech and Brennan Cox? They'll be my F8 after trading out Hannan so purely looking for bench cover/cash generation
Cox plays for Freo, always a risk….
But he does have that DPP if you need it….
Tough one, flip a coin.
Hi community,
Glad to see it's a bit or a more relaxed panic room this week…. so far.
Quick question, goes against everything we learn and know as coaches. Missed Greenwood due to [insert poor excuse for not prioritising SC here]. Is it worth trading Lynch for Greenwood? With the plan for Greenwood to be a keeper. Would leave me with 7 trades for the run home
My only other headache is Nankervis in the forward line. Cheers community
Well I doubt greenwood will be a top 6 averaging fwd from here till the end so don't pick him
I am keeping him – but only because I bought him for 117k. In higgos words you would be close to 200k behind the competition and banking in a 100k loss on Lynch – so that is 300k down on everyone else. Probably not worth it as you are locking in your loss and picking up a bloke who isn't going to be a top 6 forward. Find an extra 100k and pick up Yeo, Heeney, Macrae, Dahl or Billings who are looking better and have a bit more experience.
Who has best JS: White, Shoenmakers or Beech? Need a second opinion
Schoenmakers – but he is 40k more expensive so probably not worth it at this stage of the season
white
White
Its time to ponder the VC options for another week. My major possibilities are Hannebery, the Doch, or Bontempelli. I am thinking going the Bont into Danger. The Bont could tear the Eagles a new one tomorrow with Priddis and a few other eagles missing. Good move? What are others thinking of doing?
Gary doesn't mind playing north
This is true Pieman. If I had Gazza he would be the man. But I dont. Didnt he rack up 215 SC points last time he played the shinboners?
Yeah sounds good, I Don't have Gazza so I'm going Bont to the Dangerman also TOPHAWK1.
Danger has the VC for me into Pendles
I dont have dependlebury, if I did it would be a serious consideration.
I was going to do the exact same Hawk but wen Danger into Merrett instead
I dont have Zerrett….I would do the same if I did. I can grab him this week if I offload Tom Stewart for a rook and then upgrade either S Selwood or T lynch for Merrett. Just so bloody pricey compared to the bloke I am chasing this week…..the Bont.
Danger into my new mate Zerrett Toppa.
Ahhhhh that is so tempting. Should I do a non Derek and "pay the price"? Here is the thing, If I get Zerrett this week I will need another 2 trades next week to get Gawn. If I get the Bont this week, I can get Gawn with one trade. (Nank to Gawn straight switch)
I need to do NOTHING TONIGHT! Except knock down a few bourbons and watch Hanners, Buddy, Heeney, and Lloyd go BIG. Thats the plan. hehe Cheers
I think I am going Kreuzer into Danger
Surely Ablett goes big in his 300th?
Bont into the Son of God for me.
Hutchins will have an easy night on Bont he usually has to cope with players who get 35+ disposals
True, gotta be wary of that scenario.
Do we think Nank to Ryder is a worthwhile trade, community? That will finish my forward line, as I already have Buddy, Heeney, Dahl, Macrae and Yeo,will leave me with 7 trades and 3 short of full premo …. I plan to trade Wittsy for Gawn next week.
Thanks guys.
You would be looking at a 90 to 95 avg for rest of year from him, scores in 80s then pops out a 120 every now and then but also gives ruck cover if something goes wrong there.
Not the worst option and will prob save you some cash.
nah why is everyone trading nank. he is averaging 93
Because he been on a downward spiral for some weeks now and it doesn't look like he will now be a top 6 forward….that's why.
Too sideways for me lamme.
One is averaging 93.08 and the other 92.92.
Yeah thanks Ranger, I might go Greene instead.
Would go Greene/Heeney/Macrae/Dahl type over Ryder any day. Depends what you want though with other factors such as DP.
Nank>Ryder is completely sideways in that dual position aspect too so no way would I pull the trigger on that trade.
Heeney or Green ???
Heeney for me mate. Greene apparently rolled an ankle at training yesterday. Probably will play, but Heeney is the better package.
Done deal thanks mate !
Heeney is the package
Done deal ! Cheers for input
I reckon that the best decision is to VC Danger this week. This is because if you bank someone's score of 120+ as VC you can always be nervous that Danger will beat it – and he probably will. It means that if Danger goes huge you won't miss because you took (correctly) a 125 from your VC. If Danger has a rare spudly effort then you are one step ahead of the 50% of the comp who whacked the C on him, and have a second chance to get it right compared to everyone else.
I am going C on Zerrett after Danger VC as I reckon his class on the outside will absolutely carve up the Lions.
That being said I captained Joel Selwood last week so maybe take my advice on captaincy with a pich of salt 🙂
Good luck this week!
Nothing wrong with that mate! I dont have Zerrett though. If I VC'd Danger, and he spuds, my options are much more limited to yours. Tom Mitchell or Adam Treloar are my only realistic C plays at that point. But the odds say that Danger will grab 130+, so I might still entertain your strategy. Cheers Finnius
Well Titch and Treloar are both decent options. I just think that there is so much more upside to going Danger and backing him in rather than being very nervous about your VC not being good enough.
Yep, can't listen to you Finnius, you have no credibility left after last week's effort…lol, just kidding mate, could've happened to anyone.
Best rookie to trade in this week?
Beams out opens up the 1 game A.witherden
I am still tossing up whether to trade or not. I have 8 trades left and holding back by not doing anything could bear fruit come the crunch rounds. Still I have Stewart to off load and I want the Bont this week at his current price. I can sleep on it tonight.
Scott Selwood to gray and 86k in the bank so I can upgrade Luke Ryan in a few weeks or cop him as my last defender and upgrade Selwood to a ultra premo
FFS Buckly play Scharenberg. He's supposed to be my 2nd half bench cover.
Josh DC, SCOOTER out. Plans to go to Joel in a few weeks in serious jeopardy now.
Greene better play or I'm toast.
guys can u help me out on what to do
have 7 trades left
def – doctor, Adams, laird, Lloyd, hibberd, witherden [perryman, Ryan]
mid – titch, peddles, Bont, ross, Cripps, hannerz, shuey, rocky [bolton, cousins, mount ford
ruck – grundy, macevoy
fwd – dalha, buddy, heeney, lynch, nank, greenwood [parsons, eddy]
cheers bois
matt white is a must
10 trades left thinking of getting rid of T Lynch GC and Barret for Yao and White is this a wise move or should I hold onto Lynch and give him a chance as I have only had him 2 weeks and his done stuff all.
Hold lynch
Give Lynch another chance, he's a better player than his low scores this year.
