Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in.
A half-dead, screaming and bleeding attempt at a game that has flashes of blue, white red and black. The North vs Saints game was supposed to be the highlight of a thoroughly uninspiring day – devoid of having anything open, not being allowed to eat meat… Good Friday had one thing going for it in a game of footy and it was pretty much ruined.
It was just the sort of thing a cat would drag in.
We had a few hiccups today with Matt Kreuzer and Toby Greene both late outs – how did you fare dodging those donuts?
(Shoutout to Lek for calling me while I was halfway up the Hume to get me to pull over and trade The Kreuz out – not all heroes wear capes.)
How are you tracking this round, community? Did you get the Dusty VC? What do you reckon Danger will score? Roll up, roll up, come one, come all and have a good old chinwag in The Standing Room.
Special shoutout to Broomhead and Scully as well – poor buggers have broken various bits of their legs and that's never something you like seeing.
Hey Patch, yeah tragedy for those two poor buggers, can be a hell of a cruel game, good to have friends like that who give you the heads up!.
I'm travelling ok so far, no donuts, hopefully get over the line somewhere around last week's…2300 ish, but that could all go horribly wrong, have Danger as C
That is why you trade only if you have too. It will be a long season with only 30 trades. Maybe one or two corrective trades this week. Be careful or else you will be out of trades by round 18.
I love Clarry
I love him too BB 🙂
Went fisher as a POD and is paying of great so far!!
Nice work Bob!
Imagine being the bloke who traded out Nat Fyfe and Zach Merrett this week…
You’d be an idiot if you did.
Would you though Northernsoul, or would you just be a novice..with not much supercoach smarts? It's easy to attack people without a thought from their perspective.
It depends. Last year in my ‘rookie year’ (technically) I traded out Hanners and it payed off big time. Only difference is that I did it in round 2
Hanners came good though.
he averaged 115 for the 9 rounds after you traded him, but was the right move long term.
That's a bit cruel Finn, many would have because they're novices, and might've rage traded. I Don't think you're that kind of guy..that would rub it in.
You're only a youngun but you have a lot of smarts, don't get jaded too early my young friend, there's plenty of time for life to do that to you yet lol.
wait what ahahahah
Merrett did stuff all in the end. Can't handle a tag. He might become Danger this week.
What do people think of Hibberd…two mid-70 scores, would you consider trading him out?
Only if he has an LTI
If you have the luxury of a brilliant performing team other than him, then maybe. Otherwise hold, only round 2.
Haven't been able to watch either of Melbourne's games but unless he's changed role drastically I'd hold. Will turn it around. Lek and I will discuss him in the pod no doubt.
What if you can get Dusty for him though
I still think it’s a waste of a trade. He was picked as a premium.
Last year he was very inconsistent but averaged just under 100. I haven’t watched either of Melbourne games, but looking at last years numbers he’s due a big one.
If he pops out a few more 70’s then he’ll be one of the first players I bring in.
Hope he can pop a few more duds out and really drop in price. Last years numbers say he will be close to a must.
Petracca? An ordinary game.
It was thought that this was going to be his breakout year but although we are only two games in, that familar pattern of a good game, ordinary game, who knows game, in other words he is a frustrating yo-yo player with so much talent.
Could go straight from him to Curnow or Taranto if you don't believe in Petracca.
I'm always the first to say don't get excited in round 2 but Taranto looks brilliant. Very tempting, very…
Could also be one of those, posts 2 tons in a row guys Whitey, and then proceeds to spud it…time will tell I guess.
Trade how u feel or follow the advice of more 'experienced players' or wat I call follow the sheep. Got taranto and acres last week #YOLO
Devon Smith, Walters, Buddy or Heeney possibly? I wouldnt go for early season bolters but more likely/proven scorers.
I said Hogan over Petracca! 145 woohoo. (Also said avoid Bonner and talked up McCartin……..haha win some lose some, corrective coming up)
Can breathe a little easier this week after Merret and Ryder last round. Things change quickly
Didn't avoid Bonner but hope you're not right about that!…I think Riley is a genuine young gun. McCartin is definitely not gun material yet though.
I think there might be a bit of this from Petracca and Hogan , Smokin. Both moving into a high fwd midfield role but not at the same time as each other. Petracca was actually pretty good and his score was not that bad. Did the right thing taking his opponents well out of the way when Hogan and Garlett had things working well. There will be plenty of times for Petracca to be the main man. What he did do was pretty good score could have been better but a couple of howler free kicks against didn't help his… Read more »
85 ain't ordinary by any stretch Donga…next week could be 105, or 95 or 75, all of those aren't too bad over 3 weeks.
True, petracca should score fairly consistently, my hogan risk could be 50,70,130 type scoring patterns.
Sorry forum. I was premature re my criticism of Petracca. Someone told me he scored in the 70’s but he scored mid 80’s so an ok game.
Unfortunately I don’t have SC gold this year.
His role doesn't help with his scoring – I see him as a Boomer Harvey style player for now, not enough mid time to explode.
What to do with him now you've got him? Hate to trade him and see him rack up two 130s but if he was your biggest problem you're doing pretty well.
Petracca 4 FA didn't help. Wouldn't expect him to give away that many frees every week.
A couple of them were shocking howlers too. I get it that it is a tough game to umpire consistently but there is simply no consistency now. My new pet hate is where the controlling umpire makes the decision or non decision and the " look at me" style umpire runs in with the over rule from 50 metres away. Petracca copped the rough end of two of these on Saturday night.
Rayner getting the arse next week!!!
Yeah he has to go, number one draft dud!
Haven’t seen him in too many team
Had him in mine early on, but I learned my lesson, still have too many expensive rookies.
Dud lmao, give him time he ain't supercoach relevant atm don't rule him out
It’s like playing Rookie Roulette this year.
Pot luck, but they are making or breaking people’s scores.
I'd hate to be an epileptic at Perth stadium after a game. That lighting is gonna cause mass fits.
Bit over the top that lighting array I reckon lol
hahahah had a laugh at this. Survived a real circus last night on a date with the GF…. then got home cracked a beer to see the last quarter of another circus.
Give them a break Rabs, they live in a very isolated city and march to their own beat a little. It looked like they were over excited having just cracked the technology of having electric lighting.
The gf didn't come in for a drink mate….. plenty of fish in the sea…
I've almost scored as much this week as I did last week, and I've still got 5 to play… Oh what a rollercoaster ride Supercoach is
Alrighty then Post…!, bloody happy days mate.
McCartin, Ryder, Merrett, Beams and all the wrong rookies on field for me last week. I always have a shocker in either round one or two.
Yeah but you only got 1800 last week so you're still crap
naaasty
should i take fyfe's 120 as vc or go with danger as captain?
roll the dice
Oliver as capt Ryan played well. Greene out late hurt.
Yeah I could have had a really good score if Green had put up a 100-120 for me.
Oliver will average 120 this year – I can't believe he only has 6% onwership! So glad I picked him.
why are you in such a d1ck mood mate
Yellow card, Russty.
I picked Danger, Titch, Dusty, Kelly, Fyfe and Parker.
Which one of those don’t you have?
Simple. You can’t fit them all in.
Thought we were going to see a different Gawn this year and with another year in the system for me Oliver was always going to be in my side. Greene l thought with a pretty soft draw early days might put up some big scores. Just needs to play!
Nice one Shake, I said Oliver will have leather poisoning early in the week swallowing the pill from Martin and Gawn tap down. Kelly almost pulled it off 14 tackles but possies were low, would've gone big.
I’m thinking going these trades next week….Hibberd & Crouch out & bring in Simpson & Oliver?
Hold Hibberd unless he is injured. Crouch to Oliver makes sense.
Hold Hibberd. You don’t lose money on him until you trade him out
You don't lose money if you trade him before R3.
Touché
I like it
After opening up with a great 2439, the shyt started to hit the fan, as I traded Billings in and the Sainter's forgot to play footy the hard way and played a soft brand including Billings 79 but I knew he would be a rollercoaster ride. Then today Greene's a late out covered by ZGL who put up a nice 65 but that hand scare before he had scored had some of that brown stainey stuff running down my leg, I could smell a bad round coming. But then the SuperCoach GODS started to smile at my team once more… Read more »
lets hope danger is ready to play. i got him in this week for Adam Saad caase via finlayson swing…. so i presume im winning
Thoights on trading in English for L.Ryan this week to play as f5-6 onfield alongside fritsch, or wait and see how he goes this week?
Maybe wait a week. He's certainly on the radar but like all rookies best to have a second look.
Great question. Considering the same to cover the loss of Greene, will probably hit trade this morning
I’d hold if you don’t have a donut. I brought in English this week as a cover for Krooz, so I’m hoping he goes well
It's a risk to bring English in, The Dogs have talls in the wings and the coach isn't a ruck friendly type, he will play anyone there, When Roughhead returns English will be the tall going out IMO…..
Hope you didn't
Haha I almost did this. Thankfully I didn’t trust English
Put the C on Oliver was 135 at games end ,then rounded up to 146 ,saved me after not putting the VC on Dusty, big sigh of relief
Mitchell, Parker or Franklin as C?? Thoughts guys
I'm in the same boat except I don't have Franklin. ATM I'm going titch but I'm a bit shaky.
Line ball between Titch and Buddy. I’d lean to Buddy as a Hail Mary, hope for 160+
Out of that lot it's Titch the safe bet, either of the other 2 could go off and go big ….its a risk reward with them or play safe on Titch.
Good call very tempting to take the Budwar the top end could be anything
Go Buddy. It’s not head to head this week. If he knocks out a 200 you can brag, if he spuds it, who cares.
reckon mitchell safer bet. buddy do 2 in a row massive i dunno?! Please dont take my advice but id feel more comfortable with mitchell for sure
Is Cognilio a must have? Not sure, has only played one full season for 100+ avg. I would need to make a few sacrifices to get him into my team (Thouy -> Bonner today then get him in next week). I suppose you can't get em all!
He looks good. I was at Pies vs GWS yesterday and he’s so classy around the ground. I think he’s their 2nd best mid behind Kelly and could easily go 110+
Always had a big opinion of Cogs but his not in my team and I don't see him as a must have, was perfectly priced but if you didn't start with him I wouldn't go chasing him now.
def get him in. make you money as well as pump out 100s.
Luke Ryan and Nank looking good this year. Wish I stuck to my gut instead of trading them out pre lockout.
Anyway I’m pretty happy with this round. Sitting on 1700 with English, McLean, Kelly, Sicily, Mitchell plus 160 from a Dusty loophole. Hopefully Krooz is back next week too
Agreed, had luke ryan but swapped him to hurley. Still if he is a top 6 by mid year we just have to pay more.
Was having a shocker with Garlett, crouch and and billing, Hibberd scores.
Somehow turned it around with great scores from Fyfe, Walters and Devon Smith.
Sitting on 1513 with Johannisen, Nic Nat, Parker, Heeney, Dangerfield (C) and Tim Kelly.
Looking okay at the moment. How is the rest of the community doing?
1308 with 8 to play. Ablett captain.
1614 with 8 to play. Had dusty as VC. Still have danger, titch, Sicily, Lloyd, Heeney, bonner, Kelley and English to play
1722 with: Mills, Parker, TMitch, TKelly, Heeney and (gulp) Lycett to play
I can put Mills on bench and take Murphy’s 80.
I’ll be really happy with 2250
1898/18 with Titch (c), Heeney, Sicily and Tim Kelly to play. Have the VC on Fyfe, I am tempted to take the 120 and be safe. Although Mitchell did go full beast mode last week. Can he back it up?
Going ok so far this year.
Only small problem i see is F6.
Rookies scoing about 60 (which is all i expect from a rook each week)
But could ramp that up as have the cash to go brayshaw up to tarranto or a rookie up to fisher.
Then plan is in about 6 weeks turn them into crouch in the mids once he drops down in price.
1600 so far with 6 to come capt still to play.
Once again loving the purple pods.
Please tell me, I made the right move. (Pls SCgods don't punish me)
Went early on bringing Danger in for Rocky, which i went against my plan. Just not confident on Rocky still being named at HF and that knee of his. Danger could go big, even if he doesn't he'll easily get a 100 minimum.
With Danger, Titch, Heeney, McLean, Kelly and English to play and score is sitting at 1727 hoping to get around the same score as last week 2200-2300
Good move
Who is the priority to get in before price increases……
Cogs, McLean or Smith??
All good picks for mine, i started with Smith and McLean, Cogs seems to be the better one out of the 3 so far. If my mid wasn't so pack with premos, would pick him up.
McLean not due for an increase Jughead unless he goes big this afternoon. The other two both playing pretty good footy.
I have none of them but im backing my preseason selections to all score better then these 3 by seasons end. Id only bring these in if you feel they are keepers and you have serious doubts on some of your current selections.
One of the 2 FWDS ….. Smith would be my pick.
Scully out long term impact on Coniglio ??
Smith
1654 . With .Titch,Buddy,Heeny,J Mcgovern,T Kelly And either Waterman or L.Ryan from Westcoast still to go . Hopfuly get to 2200 . Then downgrade hibberd to bonner get the cash and get smith into my foward line which will give me 5 keepers in the fowards . That will leave me wth 28 trades . Ps smith could be sicily depending on monday
Hi community! Touch wood, it has been a steady round so far without getting stung by Kruezer and Greene late outs. That said, Michael Hibberd is starting to become a headache down back. With guys like Shaw and Simpson tonning up consistently, I am bleeding a few points there, but thanks to Bonner, I can live with it. Lift HIBBO, I am not planning to trade you out, (For now) BUT LIFT!! On the flipside, Zerret is coming good after that head knock disaster last week, and Allen Christensen is starting to get back to playing footy we know he… Read more »
Don’t worry, Dangerfield has already shown he can kick 5 goals with a broken leg (and 6 behinds but that doesn’t matter)
Hehehehe. That's right, just a repeat of that effort last year is good enough for me!
Yes the C is the big Key TopHawk, to a good score in the same boat with Danger lets hope its a great ship by the end of Mondays game.
Got stung by Kreuzer and Tobias outs but I have cover, Matty Crouch going down hurts tho.
Running with the captain on Danger too, should be a cracking game Monday Toppa, go cats.
1652 from 15 players (C on Dusty) and only have one rookie left, he score 120 odd last week so Tim Kelly, provide again and I will be loving it.
Latest news amazing!! Bucks has just announced will be stepping down from senior coach position effective immediately!!!!!
Will this be the same news tomorrow?
Blah blah bla . Wish i was 16 again post up shit
Are you ok ?
Too good Trig although wouldn't be a real shock if he left the job.
Might not be a joke in a months time.
They look terrible, they have injury issues, and he just ain't a great coach. No shame there plenty of star players fail as coaches.
I reckon Eddie is already working out how he moves on and everyone saves face.
Mick already rehearsing the ' I told ya so routine' with feigned humility
If they get rolled by Carlton next week the drums will be very noisy
Give them some credit – they put up a really good fight yesterday. All his players need to improve their skills slightly and I see his game plan working – turnovers was what killed them yesterday.
That's the problem. A feeble acceptance of an honourable loss. No doubt his players like him, respect him and. Play for him but they just don't win enough and there has been no real turn around and improvement in years. No good blaming injuries all the time, every club has them. Jamie Elliott is pretty good but not great and what did they honestly expect fitness wise from Daniel Wells. Even in SuperCoach you wouldn't have Elliott because he's not that great and not even close friends and relatives pick Wells because they know he'll be out injured
Pie would be doing cartwheels in the street.
Could be a crouching celebration on steroids.
Who’s the April Fool ,
Danger out .not playing
dont scare us Mike hahah
Any word on whether Toby the flog really has a hamstring injury that may impact next week or is late withdrawal with hamstring tightness just a euphemism for something bizarre he has done.
Maybe save answers till after midday
I'm tipping he supplied Bancroft's sandpaper. Its the only sporting scandal at the moment, and it takes a special talent like Toby's to shoot yourself in the foot from the other side of the world.
He was too busy writing flog Warner's speech
Anyword on Kreuz and length out?
Thats a good question, and its a worry for Kreuz owners. Groins can be awkward. One week can become 3.
My biggest concern as well, especially because he's a big bloke.
As I've hit most of the rookies (I think), I can go Kreuz next week down to anyone but Gawn (leaning to Nank).
The thing I'm tossing up on is whether or not to bring in English this week (I have Olango) to avoid the zero.
Problem is, if I do that, I won't have a captain's loophole any longer.
I haven't got him because it occurred to me that he might be a massive injury risk given he gets injured pretty much every year except last year and the chance of a continued injury free run seemed a bit of a long shot for a 600 k plus player.
Not really I only say that because I know how popular it is to be clever with the benefit of hindsight.
Hope he plays this week but only because I want to see Collingwood get pumped but that won't happen if they can't compete with Grundy
Cogs score likely to improve with Scully gone?
And tarranto
hrmmm who do you take then lol
Got cogs and giving serious consideration to going brayshaw to tarranto next week.
GWS gonna hurt some sides this year
yeh i got neither and ditching brayshaw this week. can afford either. who you reckon?
cogs more likely to continue those scores safer bet?
Depends if you need coverage in the mids or fwd?
Both got some serious talent
Cogs may well b an m8 all year.
GWS selections give me headaches. Same as Sydney a few years back. You pick JPK, he stinks it up and Hannebury fires. You pick Hannebury, he stinks it up and Parker fires etc etc.
Does it change what they're doing with Whitfield I've got him and he has had a good start
1817 including captain with 6 to play .. 2400's realistic.
Looking good, I'm 1860 including captain with 5 to go.. Looking for a 2300-2350.
I have a spare 115k after upgrading coffield to bonner, next week. Downgraded kreuzer to nic nat this week… only player i am unsure about is taberner, he has scored well and shown potential in games to avg 90, good for a forward. Do i keep him or downgrade to a Christensen and pocket more cash? All rookies are playing and "premos"perfroming otherwise.
Keep him, save the trade, you got taberner in to make you cash and average 90, trading him to Christensen is essentially burning 2 trades because you’ll have to trade Christensen at some point.
Thouy to Bonner at D3? Will free up some cash to upgrade Rayner to a breakout contender next week, maybe Petracca at F5 plus get another rookie. Good move or hold and get another games info?
Who is thouy?
Zach Thouy from Geel .. the irish man. I picked him as a hopeful keeper but think Bonner can go close to his output. Will redeploy cash to FWD line to keep my overall structure
ohhhh touhy ahahahaha
I would be holding him as I think he can average 95 this year. Trades are valuable when we see how many premo injuries there are. Although scrapping Rayner isn't the worst option. I would wait till next week to do this if you are going to go through though – one more game sample size will be very important.
Hold thouy.
Let’s see if Bonnar was just a flash in the pan
his six games are all pretty good … minimum of about 18 possessions I think at good DE … but I agree the sensible option is to hold!
Didn't trade in Bonner … watch him rack up 30 and 2 goals!
with the potential 1 .3 mill offer to Lynch and LEVER 1 m Hogan 1 mill ,,, I imagine gawnie's pist off big time He only got 850 grand.. Would think a trade to Collingwood for Weideman and Dean Kent should raise the dough particularly with the spoons THE Demon doorman to replace Bucks
All overpaid Neil
Not the doorman he 's gonna look after the cup in sept BIG JOB that
Easy does it Neil. I'm with ya brother but keep the bloody lid on it please
We need to make the top 4 first.
Who is the doorman Neil?
I actually have met him and Sammy Allica for those with good memories and I really do believe he is a better coach than FIGJAM Going to be really something to see ablett danger and selwood not to mention TICH ONE HELLUVA GAME COMING UP
Yeah but who is the Doorman, and who is Figjam????
Figjam is Buckley but the Doorman has me stonkered.
OK, that's just confused me more.
Yeah will be a cracking game tomorrow, go cattas
When did Neil start speaking in code?..lol
Russty Russty FIGJAM is what buckley was called in his playing years .. It stood for Fark I'M Good Just Asked Me. .. The doorman is a demon relic ( like me) who has been manning the door to keep the riff raff out after the game for half a century People like him and Sammy allica and bootstudders property stevards all more knowledgeable than FIGJAM when will Collingwood wake up
Beautiful Neil, Keeping the "riff raff" out. That is pure Melbourne. A bit more of that and we really will be on the path back to past glory
Who to captain?
Buddy
Mitchell
Parker
Ablett
if it was me id go Mitchell but i'm not giving you my home address haha
Not happy with Dean Kent and the doorman Neil??
No mate the doorman is ok It worries me if Buckley can handle opening the doors though maybe Kent can do it
cmon nic nat off to a slow start here
Kreuzer to Nic Nat not looking too good for me right now
At this point I am just pretty screwed because of this ruck situation.
Nic nat is a better inclusion than English. Next week you'll see with comparing kreuz score with nic nat.
Zak Jones out
Tim English on 0 points at quarter time…
Hmmmm great!!!
Is he even on the field ?
Hey Finn sorry about my comments yesterday, was out of line and I apologise..I was in a crap mood, shouldn't have taken it out on you.
I loved it Russty!
Pretty sure I told you English would spud it up. Well done to everyone that ignored me
Bit of humility wouldn’t go astray….
You know what suck it up tommy, sick of whiners like you. Start listening to me and this stuff won’t happen
I jumped on board the Lobb train and that derailed yesterday … long way to go, but you can't get em all right!
You say a lot of stuff Sc_Wow most of it is incorrect or assumptive which is probably why you're ranked outside the top 20,000. Now and again you get it right with an obvious call and straight away you come here to tell everybody how much of a genius you are.
The 20,000 that are already hundreds of points in front of you include most of the people who comment here. So, pull your arrogant head in until your rank isn't such an embarrassment
Rival me and see where we end up. All my calls are backed up and I’d like to know which have been wrong
what is your team name SC
Don’t know where you’re pulling 20k from btw
It's a marathon sweet heart. No one wins in rd 1 or 2. Don't get your knickers in a knot.
😂 good statement
Thats it 66 sick of these ppl that got a lucky first round score running their mouth
seriously rank means nothing until after round 5-6 imho, until then it's just the world sorting itself out
Almost brought him in for Liam Ryan today.
Thank god I didn’t do that lol
Liam Ryan is a JET
I guess I have to get him in. Urgh
Check with WoW first.
Yep jet E for Toby Greene as a late out
Don’t mention English or you may upset some people
No worries mate it seems a sensitive subject I'll steer clear.
Would you sack Bucks yet WoW?
Essendon supporter couldn’t care less what Collingwood do
If they used banned peptides would that bother you WoW
You living in the past mate? Move on
We forgive WoW …..but we never forget.
Really it's just a cheap shot, Easter bores me stupid and I take to antagonising others to amuse myself.
Really if you're not living in the past WoW you should be able to just ignore that stuff.
Consider yourself ignored
Geez this young kid English is really good at football..
Sure he's not German
And Bain missed him how Gator
Thank god he did neil
Update: English is on Zero at HALF TIME
I should have just taken a donut with Kreuz…
Same here Hedski.. Waste of a trade
At least you didn't trade him to Nic Nat like me…
After seeing English’s 0, I’m not regretting the trade even though I have had this planned for 2 weeks since Wnglish was named round 1
what about Longer Gat
Footywire says -1. hope he increases his output in the 2nd half and gets to -5 or even -10.
I felt like an idiot last week when I brought in Lycett to cover Kreuzer. Feel much better now.
I know many have similar stories, but I reckon I’ve cost myself some 130 pounts this week by having the wring rookies on field ( Murray instead of Finlayson, Giles Landon instead of Ryan(73 at half time), Fritsch instead of waterman (55 at galf time)).
The bright side is they are all making money.
Don’t feel bad rocksta I left 260 on the bench last week had every wrong rookie on the ground. Doh
Try Again:
I know many have similar stories, but I reckon I’ve cost myself some 130 points this week by having the wrong rookies on field ( Murray instead of Finlayson, Giles Landon instead of Ryan(73 at half time), Fritsch instead of Waterman(55 at half time)).
The bright side is they are all making money and will appreciate in value quickly.
Same here but to a lower extent.
Ryan is off field for Fritsch
Banfield is off for Brayshaw
Murphy is off for Finlayson
In hind sight would I change anything?
Na-da
Tim English zero at half time
I was regretting not bringing him in and following my game plan for a Kreuzer late out. Nic Nat is only on 30 but probably will get scaled up due to his sheer impact
Played Ryan last week, benched him this week. FMSC
Same
yep same
Greene out, so I had to pick either Ryan or Venables , went Ryan, lucks a fortune
I don't think I will ever recover from my switch from Parker to Merret 5 mins before the bounce for the rest of the year.
Merrett still the better scorer
Ryan over Garlett is gonna cost me 100pts at the rate he's going 🙁
Think I might go Lobb to Ryan and Naughton to Lloyd/ Simpson next week.
Thoughts community?
Yeah, fair call, although lobb may still come good……
Giving him one more week
Then it will be too hard to move him on due to other players price changes. Trading him to Curnow is also something I have considered.
Bear in mind that Ryan scored 38 in round 1.
Yeah good point. The week the 38 rolls out should leave him making huge amounts of cash, however the possibility of him putting out another stinker is still there.
Will have to give this some thought.
Cheers
Lobb to Christensen..if you don't think Lobb is worth keeping?
My article on Rockliff is correct
But still had him 97-107. After round 1 and this first half against Sydney is not good though.
But may come good mid year at 350k m9, wouldn't that be nice…..
Indeed
Not having Buddy in my team like the last two years,is killing me,should have just kept him there,instead of Billings.
Hey John, to be fair to Billings, he only averaged 5.6 less points than Buddy last year.
Both are a bit up and down though.
Hi Russty,not really a slight on Billings,just me still being annoyed with myself for not sticking with Buddy.
I know mate, Billings will be ok, Richo won't stand for them playing that badly next week, I did the same with Heeney, traded him in last minute over Buddy, but Heeney's doing ok now.
I feel better now,Buddys slowed down.
Had some cash spare so bought in gray as i had no faith in the forward rookies. Oops, nice having Ryan on the bench. 😣
Wtf is happening with Bont… sheesh
He's in the 100s
Just scraped through and last week 60….
Yes last week was really disappointing,to make it even worse,I traded him in for Oliver when Clarry had the injury scare.
Sat through this game. An absolute Easter classic. The Bont getting 100 points for that garbage is a bigger miracle than Jesus making the Sunday come back after the Friday complications put him in such doubt
Might be trading out Mills for Bonner next week,make some cash in the process.
me too he is on 40points half time
and maybe not :/
Mills again will be my first trade out. Dissapointig effort, zero midfield. Gotta go. Not sure if I go up to Simpson or down to Bonnar
I think I would prefer up to Simpson. Maybe even have a look at Ryan for a player at a similar price.
Ryan was the player if I decided to upgrade instead of downgrading,I might not even be able to do that trade since I have Crouch and Naughton to deal with.
I have Mills also, I don't understand why he isn't getting any Mid time especially when they were getting beaten today ???
He’s going to be the future general in the swans back line . They love him for they way he already directs traffic back there, don’t see him playing any major midfield time .
Next round Naughton is projected to go up 8k. Where’s the trade button amirite
Bonner is going up 73 grand (as off half time) in comparison
Naughton to Bonner asap i guess
L.Murphy is another option for the ones that don't have him ,might generate more cash quicker ?
Projected to generate 20k less cash in the first week*
*based on averages from this years two games
Port would almost have to drop Rockliff when Hombsch and Pittard come back. He is adding nothing
Yep, don't have Rocky but thought about it earlier on, he's been on the bench most of the time and not listed as injured ??
He is not fit this year
Probably won't be match fit come round 4-5 but he should be doing better than this
What a goal by Franklin!!! That was insane. Talk about a team lifter!!
LOL, like the new pic Hawker 🙂
His SC score had a nice lift as well.
Projected 2400 on the dot, spewing I fielded Ryan over Garlett but the small Fwds are so unpredictable
Why are you spewing about that?
Other way round lol, didn't notice
How are you tracking Russty?
Oh ok,haha sorry, 'prediction' says over 2400, but I think I'tll end up being 40 short of that, heeney and bonner haven't met their quotas lol
Both with very good scores considering their respective price tags, I have Heeney like most. really thinking of going Naughton to Bonner but would have to trade a hibberd down to someone like Shaw, considering I have 28 trades I don't think it's worth it. What do you think?
Good scores boys.
Would not trade hibberd if I was you especially to Shaw.
Also don’t think Bonner is as good a trade as everyone thinks.
Might be proved wrong
You could be right about Bonner BV, could be a 76 every week…just have to wait and see as he's my D3
Nicnat did ok today for you Josh, I think it's a good trade, will get better over the coming weeks if he stays healthy.
Definitely, scores around the 110 and 90 mark are brilliant considering his TOG, can only get better. Hoping Kreuzer can go well for my Blues, will need him up against Grundy but groins are tricky business
I'm now confident to do these following trades this week,
Naughton to Bonner
Cox to NicNat
Liking how my team is travelling, first time in 7 years to have two decent score in the 1st two rounds.
Confident on Nic Nat? Didn't he get like 80?
Off less than 70 minutes game time, his scores will increase as his TOG goes up
Did his minutes increase this week?
At less than 60% TOG, and a decent 80 points. He's moving well, with TOG is surely gonna increase and so does the points.
Hi Doncs.
I dont mind those trade options. As long as you have Finlayson, Doedee, and Holman as your cash generation engine.
Lycett is playing the dual ruck role with Nic Nat at the moment. Lycett had a good game today, and Nic Nat started very slowly but came home hard with his 85 SC. I doubt Lycett will be dropped and will ruck alongside Nic Nat unless either one gets injured. Keep that in mind.
Cheers mate.
Not hearing too many people talking about how crap Lycett was today.
87 is very serviceable Derek. Lots of knee jerk reactions on here week to week.
Agreed. He played very well. I remember you also looking to start with Lycett. Did you start with him?
I seriously entertained starting Lycett, but ended up going Nankervis and cough up the extra 200K cash.
At 277K, I reckon he is a bargain for any coach who needs to corrective trade this week.
Cheers Derek
Started Lycett. Took plenty of crap over it last week
Don't worry about the opinions Derek, you ended up in the top 1000 after week one, let all the naysayers suck the big one.
Plenty of mud being slung round preseason around sides. Good to see you stuck to your guns mate. Hoping Lycett goes well until the byes for you!
Always happen mate when someone has a left field pick and has bad score. People will jump on your throat and give you crap.
I'm not concern with Lycett and NicNat playing together. NicNat was not affected when Dean Cox was still around, Nat will score points at other areas, his marking, tackling, goals and hitouts the man is a beast.
Can you go Cox to Bonnar
Do you have Garlett in Midfield? Swing Garlett to forwards and finlsyson to mids
I have all Rookies that's a must,
Doedee, Murphy, Finlayson, Holman, Kelly
Other Rooks are
Garlett, English, Langdon and Naugton who i was to trade for Bonner for quick cash and stepping stone to either Simmo or Hurley.
I wanna keep O'Connor and Mihocek as my loophole and swing between back and mid.
Bonner is good trade.
I don’t think it’s a must trade as people seem to think.
Nic Nat is a risk obviously.
Has a lot of potential but can’t really see him being top 3 rucks this season
Not a must trade agree, atm I'm running 4 rooks on field down back. Bonner seems to me a perfect player that has JS and will score 60+ each week until i have enough cash to turn him into a premo.
No offence donk but you were defending the Cox choice quite vehemently last week, he's coming back in next week, don't you think he's a good pick anymore?
I have no use for him anymore, as I have traded out Ryder and English became my cover this week.
I wasn't defending him, i was explaining of why i picked him.
Oh forgot to put in Ryan(WCE) and Bandfield(Freo)
This is what my team will look like after the trades and will set back for a while, watch my rookies fatten up.
Back
Laird, Hibbo, Bonner, Doedee, Finlayson, Murray
Mihocek, Murphy
Mids
Danger, Titch, Oliver, Kelly,
Fyfe, Cripps, Kelly, Holman
O'Connor, Banfield, Garlett
Ruck
Gawn, NicNat
English
Fwd
Heeney, McLean, Smith, Taylor, Curnow, Fristch
Langdon, Ryan
Happy of how it's shaping up.
We have a very similar team.
Like the use of dpp.
Very strong team.
Consider Lachlan Fogarty if he plays well today.
Guy is a ball magnet. JS only concern
What's with all the fuss surrounding Bonner?
$257,300 & only scored 76. Not much cash generation & certainly no keeper. Gotta admit, I didn't watch the game though.
Not sure about the other people of why and the reason they want to bring Bonner in. But he fits right in my structure, Naughton is gonna be making slow cash and JS is getting slim. Bonner has a better JS, i think he'll give you 60+ points each week and is likely to make more cash than Naughton. While other rookies generating cash and Bonner getting points and making cash at the same time. By Round 5 or 6 he's ready to be move on to a premo. No fuss from me, just a strategy for my team.
Corrective trades next week for mine are – Hibberd OUT – Shaw IN
Depending what Menengola does tomorrow but if he plays ordinary he will end up being Robbie Gray or Boak but Gey played well today.
Hold your premiums
Yeah must agree, I'd hold Hibberd and Menegola if I had em.
Is Hibberd injured? if not, then why?
Would not trade hibberd.
He will come good
Why am I looking at Parker on 105 and heeney on 110 when Parker has 10percent more efficient had five extra touches an extra tackle and 8 extra clearances???
U have both i guess? If so look at it as a glass half full instead of a glass half empty. Instead of looking at Parker being ripped off, maybe you should look at Heeney being lucky to have scored what he did. I know thats how im looking at it.
Yeah it's hard to explain, Parker seems to have better stats than Heeney in most departments, maybe it's got something to do with that mythical..'Important time in the game' thing that Champion Data do, that none of us now what it really means.
What scores are you all looking at this week and who was or is your captain. I'm on 2030 with Menengola, Titch & T Kelly to play.
Dusty my Captain.
I am projected to score 2379 however I doubt it as the projections have T Kelly scoring 118
Let us know. Good luck to all.
Hey Dean, sitting on 1821 with Danger (C), Mitchell, Sicily and Kelly to play, hoping that goes ok.
1738 with the same four to come. Titch with the orange C however. Hoping for 500 from them at the least.
1755 with the same 4, also with the C on Titch
I predict you will beat Patch by 17 points JEL 😉
1597 With 5 to play Danger with the C ….Titch, Sicily, JOM and Kelly are the 5 ….2260 projected and ill take that now if it was offered to me.
1904 with danger, titch, Sicily and jelly to play. Projected for 2360, that’s probly still a bit high
Hope Jelly goes ok 😉
2019 with Sicily, Titch and Kelly to go.
2362 with Titch & Kelly , will be happy with 2330 though
Soz, Projected 2362
I have same 2 left. Only 2306 projection.
Thanks guys.
It seems as though the average this week will be quite high after your feedback, im guessing the average this week will be between 2350 to 2450
Good luck to you ALL.
It looks up and down to me Dean, 2300 will be about par in my eyes.
2300 will be par. Everyone has one or two duds
1620 with 5 to play and captain. Projected 2284 but will be happy with 2220
Kelly
Ablett
Titch
Menegola
Roughead
On 1786 with Danger, Titch, Telly and Sicily to come. VC on Billings so captained Fyfe neither worked out overly well obviously. Coming off a half decent score last week, 2346 playing 5 mid rookies (benched Danger) and have a projected 2242 but reckon I'll get 2150 (hope I get that anyway lol). Need to try and fix the Clark, Brayshaw, Naughton and Hibberd selections
2008/19. Mitchell (c), Sicily, Kelly to come.
Lots of rookie points in the bench again.
Danger or Titch for cap???
Because we haven't seen Danger play this season and with Gazza back in the side I would choose Titch mate only because there is a decent chance Danger & Gazza will spend time in the forward line. Its a tough call and I dont want to miss lead you just in case Danger ends up scoring a 150+ because if Danger doesn't play in the forward line at all then he should score you 130+ with ease. My only reason for recomending Titch is because you know he will be playing right in the guts which generally is where a… Read more »
Depends on if you lean towards safety, or you're a gambler, either way, make the call yourself, it's your team, trust your own decisions, and not other people's.
Ok community, who wins from here?
Team 1:
1671 with Titch (c), Sicily, Dangerfield, Kelly still to play.
or
Team 2:
1838 with Duncan, Sicily, Dangerfield, Kelly still to play.
Its gonna be tight but team 2 I think
Yeah i think it'll be team 2 too. I'm hoping titch goes huge, its pretty much my only option.
Basically Titch has to out score Duncan by 84 points, right? Titch might have to break his own record to win that one
Unless i've screwed up the math, if duncan scores 95 and titch scores 131 we tie. So Titch has to outscore Duncan by 37 points or more in order for me to win. It'll be a tight one, just have to hope duncan gets pushed out of the midfield with the inclusion of Danger, Ablett and Selwood and that Titch goes big.
Duncan out
Wow, that is incredibly unlucky for him. I almost feel bad but it is a cash league so i've gotta take wins where i can get them. His emergency is LDU who scored 77. So if titch scores 114 or more i win, im sure he can do that.
My first thought of trades this week are :
Naughton – L.Murphy
Mills – K.Simpson, with some thought of H.Shaw
I’m thinking along the lines of the same thing mate. Although I don’t have bonner sonkight need to make him a priority
Don't have Bonner, we can't have them all, I look at who will be keepers, Bonner won't be a keeper imo
yeah but he will turn into hibberd at worst
There's still one more game? But I wanna Rage trade NOWWWWWWW
Who's on hit list Patch ??
Dollhouse?
But he's a very good fotballer
Aaron Naughton I would guess
2222 with Kelly to come. Wingard score didn't help.
Scored 2426 last week. 2008 this week with Titch, Sicily and Kelly to go. Need some luck to get to 2300. Lobb, Crouch, Lambert and Billings hurts me this week. Billings and Lobb both played well last week so can accept an off day. Crouch has to go and also Lambert time has run out. Thinking Oliver and Heeney. Could go Coniglio and bank the cash which would help me get Dangerfield in once all my rookies start making money. Have Sicily as well so can swing him into forward line and get Simpson, Hurn (don’t laugh he only just… Read more »
Like Oliver and Heeney as picks.
Yeah Coniglio or Taranto if you want to save some serious cash. Forget about Hurn I think.
Hurn is a fabulous cheeky pick and I would get him in if I got a chance
Only do one luxury trade. Lambert or Crouch?
Lambert might get midfield time, has forward eligibility and costs 470k
Crouch is a pure midfielder, Gibbs taking the ball away, costs 600k
Here's my algorithm
Hurn + old = burnman
He is only 30 years old.
Missed one game in last three years
Averaged 107 in last 9 games of last year.
Improved scoring by at least 10% last two years.
Ball will be in west coast backline a lot
Thanks for the feedback though guys.
Won’t go Taranto. Too risky.
Curnow is an interesting choice.
Finished last year off very strong
Wonder how soon Cricket Australia will be rushing back the disgraced Steve Smith and Warner, Bancroft after the way this Test match is going.?..The replacements didn't exactly deliver…will they stick to their guns or get sick of losing badly pretty soon?…I know this isn't Footy but don't bag me for it, we're all Sports minded people.
Well said Russty..Not sure about Warner and Bancroft but I can see them getting back Smith
The door is now ajar for Darcy Short and Matt Renshaw……..Short can be another Warner for sure
We have Travis Head and Alex Carey there also and I think they will be good combatants for us
Renshaw didn't exactly succeed, they need someone in there who can score some runs.
One innings is a bit rough to judge off – I actually think that he fought pretty hard. Has been pretty good in the shield this year as well. Give him a few matches to get settled and I think he is a good pick.
You're probably right Finn, sorry about my comments last night by the way, I apologised to you earlier in your English quarter time report but maybe you didn't see it, I was out of line and am sorry about that.
Renshaw is a good player and was probably jetlagged and in shock.
all good rusty mate – good luck for the rest of the season.
cheers Finn you too, see you in the trenches. 🙂
Its pretty simple. Cricket Australia stuffed up. I would not be at all surprised if the players sue Cricket Australia and would probably win based on the penalty they gave as they simply made it up. They were so worried about what the world thought they felt they needed to give the penalties. I understand the ICC stepping in and giving a penalty if they were not happy with what Cricket Australia gave. But to come in over the top of what penalty the ICC give astounds me.
Yeah tend to agree Holty, penalty was way higher than what most other players had received in the past for the same kind of Ball Tampering.
Both openers were jetlagged, then had to spend 130+ overs in the field before batting. The rest of the team have just endured one of the most emotionally draining weeks of their lives. I'm actually amazed they're performing as well as they are.
I'm sure that Cricket Australia can teach the new guys how to use sandpaper Russty. The real problem is finding Australian sportsmen who understand that the rules are rules not guidlines
I have a few issues with my team. 1. Matt Crouch – I think he has to be traded. I’ve got cash so could put him rob Danger pending his performance. 2. Kane Lambert – spudding it up. I’m worried about him, he’s not really a premo. Trade him? 3. Matty Kreuzer – I want to hold. Have English on the bench. Hopefully Kreuz comes back ASAP. 4. Michael Hibberd – spudding it up. Willing to hold as he’s a premo. Wouldn’t mind getting in Laird though. 5. Andrew Brayshaw – willing to hold. Shouldn’t have started him. 6. Aaron… Read more »
I'd go Crouch to Danger and Lambert to Taranto or Curnow, and hope Kreuz plays next week, the others can stay as they are, many guys have em…just let em fester on the bench for awhile. They could start scoring points and making money.
Hibberd will be ok, he's a premium, will bounce back,
I would have first priority as 6 & 1
Dangerfield is a must have and a POD at that! He will score a bare minimum average of 120 and is likely to be the top scoring premium
Naughton is projected to rise in price 8k. Fantastic 5% ROI!! But actually make sure you have as many of you can of:
Bonner, Doedee, Finlayson, Murray, Murphy
TK, Holman
English (Your choice of him or Olango)
Fritsch, Ryan
Thanks fellas.
What I could do is trade Naughton to Bonner and Lambert to Curnow or Taranto this week. Bonners the only rookie I don’t have.
Then trade Crouch to Danger next week. Added benefit of seeing how Danger goes for the two weeks. Any potisitional changes/how his body holds up.
I'd trade out Crouch before I traded out Naughton even if it means getting creative and putting a D/M into the midfield until you get Danger (Finlayson maybe)
Naughton might be projected to only rise 8k, but that 30 will only last 1 price hike. He will still make 100k, all it takes is 1-2 good weeks which he will have at some stage.
How much cash do you have?
$213k
Brayshaw is not a big problem. If he was priced 123k you would be happy, and you wouldn't be trading him out for 200k like he is now. He will get to 350k
Wait on Crouch. He didn’t look in too much pain. He is a gun and you would hate to trade him out. Lambert is going ok. Just not getting the scores. He is running hard and doing a lot of work. It will come. Be patient. Kruzer must have been close to playing this week. Hold and wait for news. Hold Hibbo. Should be a top 8 defender. Don’t chace points. Brayshae looks a good player. You have him now, keep him for some cash gain. You just need one big game out of him in the next few weeks.… Read more »
Hibberd isn't a top 10 defender if he continues to keep this up. I have Laird but I'm getting rid of Hibberd and bringing in Shaw. I really think you should Pi$$ Hibberd off ASAP and bring in Laird or at least Shaw as you will end up 30 points better from this and if you choose Shaw the cash generation can then go Crouch to Danger should you wish to do that, I wouldn't be rushing on Danger because I can see both Gazza & Danger roatating into the forward line and if he does his price will drop… Read more »
Looking at 2,500 this week but have Lambert too .I really like Zac Fisher at 263 this will give me 658 cash left to bring in Danger when he drops after round four. What i need to look at tho is would i be better off bringing in two premo"s and wait on danger mmmmm .Lambert is the only one who will drop in price tho.
no caddy next week will help Lambert
Yes Lambert break even is 116 not impossible would be happy with 100.I said too myself at the start not to trade out good players too early as it always happens to me they come good after a few games.Lambert is one that may just do that.but to get rid of him pocket the cash and bring in a kid who may average 90 is a better key strategy i feel.
Pretty happy with rookies this year. ( bench scores better than on field guns)….picked most of them but missed bonner. Thank christ i have laird..cos hibberd and my pod Rampe ( 160 odd in a jlt game) are really stinking up my back line. Anyone else have Rampe??
Doubt it Jockwin, JLT should be ignored when it comes to picking your starting team, maybe go Rampe straight to Ryan from Fremantle? Could be a good keeper this year.
Yeah..cheers rusty..ryan looks the goods, and a better bloke than sicily..currently have laird, hibbo, rampe, seedsman ( doing okay) and 4 rookies. Should have stuck with 3 guns/ bonner/ 4 rooks rather than mid price madness. Oh well..have dodged injury thus far. Gonna be a tough season. Danger missing that first game mixed it up.
I was contemplating Seedsman seriously preseason, even wrote an article on him on a different website, now folded unfortunately, he's done pretty well so far, hope he can keep up the good scores for you !
Consider Rampe to Bonner also…could be a good one this year.
Yeah..good advice…rampe to bonner..pocket the cash and upgrade a mid ( bound to get an injury soon) to danger if he starts smashing it..Everone has the juicy cash cows this year, the winner this year will upgrade them correctly. Gonna be interesting in 6 weeks..
with the late news of Kreuzer not playing, I traded Darcy Cameron to Timmy English for cover, wish I had not have wasted that trade, watched him play, looked ordinary.. wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play another game this year with Boyd and redpath off the top of my head 2 talls that will slot in..
dogs looked ordinary today which makes me sceptical with the Bont, but I think the dogs will find a gear :/
I was in a similar position but decided not to trade him out after someone mentioned all the Dogs' talls still to come back. Plus they looked laconic in round 1 and didn't seem to have realized the season started this week either…
I offloaded Cox to English to cover Krooz. Probably would’ve been better off with a donut. Only plus side is it opened up $170k in salary to fix up next week
So rookie week this week b4 price rise.
Potential ones i dont have:
Barry, ryan and potentially fogarty if goes ok 2mrw.
Any of those 3 worth bringing in?
Ryan tonned up this week and looked quite good but no real pressure coming from upstream.
Think im just gonna sit naughton on the bench in def as no one else screaming pick me. Have bonner, doodee, finlaysen, murray and murphy.
Good idea u have defence covered regarding rookies. Here's a tip stay well away from high priced rookies. My only high priced rookie is Naughton. Depending what rookies you have in your forward line but I think you should get Ryan in your FWD because his average is 76.5 after todays 115 that score is going to see him increase quite a lot for a cheap rookie. I would also consider Barry if you have a high priced rookie that is underperforming as his average is above the 50 – currently at 53 after two (2) games. It all comes… Read more »
Does anyone know the Supercoach price change determinants?
Atm I’m just using:
(0.75*a)+(0.25*b*c)
Where ‘a’ is the original price of the player
‘B’ is the average of the past three games
‘C’ is the “magic number”, which I’m using 5500
If you have SC gold you can see projected price changes – I have no idea about an algorithm though.
That only works for rookies. Some players can be projected to score 50 difference from their average
true I didn't think of that
Finnius. Is SC gold, SC stats this year? And is it a one off $20 annual fee.
It is supercoach stats, but I don’t know about the cost
The magic number is 5497..
I go with ((3 week average x 5) – current price))÷4.
Gives a close enough approx price rise/drop and you can work it quickly in your head.
Eg merrett scores 120 round 3 for 3 wk ave @77
×5 =385
-600 = -215
÷4
He'll drop about 54k
Scores 120 week 4.
3wk ave 112
x 5 = 560
– 546 = 14
÷4
He'll rise again about 3-4 k
That works, except I think it’s /5 instead of /4. Makes it easier to calculate too
Oliver or Dusty? Who will average higher?
You need both ., so work out a plan to get them.. doesn’t matter which one you take first at this time in the season.
Dusty easy higher
Is Hibberd finished for 2018?
Maybe a 1 year wonder .. did nothing before last year .. has done little this year and playing a different role .. i’m looking at his projections vs others .. if I can find ia ~$150k swing I’m trading …
I'm going Simpson – age doesn't look like holding him back – and Docherty out all season an extra plus for him 👍
Done nothing? He averaged 95~ a couple of times, no? Can't really count his last year before suspension as a guide as most Essendon players had terrible years then, so basically he had 2 write off years during his peak age and then backed it up with last year. He CAN play
Bloody Rockcliff 🤦🏼♂️
I have rocky. If everyone else trades him out. He goes huge right? Right…
HOLD HIBBERD – Cant be too long before J.Lewis is dropped – an absolute coaching failure having him in defense. Undisciplined giving away free kicks for goals and the complete opposite of what you want from a loose man in defense. Is he quick – NO Is he disciplined – NO Penetrating kick out of defense – NO Calm under pressure – NO Spoiling every contest that is nearby – NO A team needs a classy sweeper or a spoiling machine not a slow past his prime midfielder down there. If Lewis can no longer cut it in the midfield… Read more »
Good call Demons. How about bringing in a key position player (for.Lewis) to play on the 2nd tall, that way you could play Lever in that loose man role and he will look like a 1mill player again.
And the one we need is FROST
People complaining about Petracca – expect 90's, if you are banking on 100+ you will be disappointed.
He is averaging 90. That’s pretty good for him.
It's also pretty much in line with what I was expecting from him. For what it's worth, an average of 90 would have been the 15th ranked forward last year (including a few guys that only played 16-18 games for the year).
Not sure where to go ,want to trade out Naughton as imo he will be a slow burner ,who out of Bonner or L.Murphy is going to generate the most cash over the next 4 weeks ? please help
Because L Murphy is 102k he should generate more assuming he holds his spot. An 80 for a 102 player means a big spike
Thanks Pieman , I think he will hold his spot
His 2 snags in the 3rd came at an important time
In 4 weeks? My first thought is it would be Murphy but after running the numbers, maybe not. Bonner (at current average of 97) – would be around $390k after round 6 (nets you around $130k). Murphy (at current average of 56) – would be around $212k after round 6 (nets you around $110k). I think Bonner will be hard-pressed to maintain a 97 average, more realistic would be in the 85 range (which is still great value and good to have those points on the board but will only net you $100k at the end of round 6). If… Read more »
Not really confident with 4 forward rookies just yet But who to get in .Must be an almost keeper otherwise trades becomes an issue.Heeney Hogan Petracca are the probables leaning to Hogan with no confidence
Has to be Heeney doesn’t it? 105 and 110.
Similar situation here. I already have Heeney. Going after Smith first. Looks a keeper to me.
Maybe go for the non demon NDD.
Heeney started fwd yesterday and hardly touched the pill in the first qtr.
Went into mids after that and started to get his hands dirty.
Thought long and hard about starting either petracca or hogan. Both will score well this year with gawny back.
Gonna have no rooks on field up fwd next week unless you call christo a rook.
R 14 bye is a huge problem otherwise Heeney is a no brainer trig
Heeny is the genuine premo currently and that is reflected in his price. I thought Petracca was good against Brisbane Neil. He did the right thing and took his opponent out of the way when Garlett and Hogan had a good thing going. He had four free kicks against which is unusual two of which were very unlucky. Didn't hit the scoreboard which is also unusual for him and score was still ok without being great. His opportunities will come. Hogan is the really interesting one, so cheap in sc. 145 for a 5 goal 1 behind 1 out of… Read more »
You gotta go tracca neil.. c'mon you know you want to
You know what Gat I think you.re right but is he a keeper smith might be though
Hogan And Tracca, get em both Neil,
Keep it red and blue and keep the riffraff out
saving a spot for Tmac TIBOR
Thoughts on Mills to Luke Ryan?
Yeah I like it Tommy… Ryan looks right at home in freos defence with Wilson .. They seem to work off each other well
Gator/pie did u guys start him
I was big on him all preseason.
Part of the 2%.
How much u reckon that is gonna increase this week?
I have him to Trigg l know how much Freo like to free him up and get the pill in his hands. Likes to kick the thing thing to. Hope he continues his form.
Like it Tommy
hey trippers, tell me im not mad , zerret – another knock away from a rest doesnt like the hard tag,zorko same as previous only prem that can give you a 20 or thirty without being injured, now gonna drop in price prob 60-70 each , i have 2 hungy in kitty and have all the rooks,im thinking if danger plays without restriction go BANG-BANG mitchell danger for zerret zorko, what you think.
You certainly got nothing to lose trading those players in… but side ways trading i'm not so sure i'd be doing that
You probably should've at least had one of them from the start
correct gator but sat back with danger injured and was going to wait to see if i could get him cheaper, maybe i still could if i go cogs mitchell instead and bank the 150 and could always bring him in later
Im amazed that you didnt start those 2 if you actually had the cash already. But having said that ive done the same. 😢Anyway, I understand the Zerrett trade as once u have been concussed its a worry. I wouldnt trade Zorko though. Is a proven premium and as soon as you trade him out he will score 150. You started him for a reason so dont waste a trade.
Need to raise a few funds to trade out mills next week. These are my rookies on each line.
Def: doedee, findlayson, Murray, naughton, keeffe
Mid: brayshaw, kelly, Holman, banfield, Dow, Barry,
Ruc: English
Fwd: Fritsch, garlett, Giles – Langdon
Which trade should I do to make the funds? I only need around 5k. Keeffe – Murphy looking the obvious decision but got Sicily in forwards as the swing.
Naughton-Murphy
