Round 5 SuperCoach Panic Room – Monday edition
As a person who asks what day it is at least three days a week, I love the footy. It means the weekend.
Patch: It’s Monday Kev.
With two games left in round 5 the Panic Room is still open for business. It has been a pretty solid round so far with popular selections scoring some big numbers. A storm is brewing just off the horizon though, mounting injuries and the tribunal lotto forcing a few to assume the position for round 6 teams.
The Panic Room will return on Friday with all your *cough* favourites *cough*, but for now, let’s tuck in to teams for Tuesday and Wednesday.
THE NEWS
After convincing so many to hold Bailey Fritsch because it’s fine, he won’t get dropped. He has been DROPPED. Hooooo boy that’s gonna hurt some. Cop his donut or go the with Jack Higgins and his questionable job security? Fritsch is one of four changes; Jordan Lewis, Tomas Bugg, and Sam Frost all making way for Dom Tyson, Billy Stretch, Sam Weideman and Jayden Hunt. The Tiges have lost Josh Caddy and Nick Vlastuin to injury and Jack Graham to suspension, recalling Sam Lloyd and premiership winning defender (I’ll never get tired of saying that) Nathan Broad, as well as the aforementioned Higgins.
On ANZAC day the Pies have named an unchanged lineup. Over at the Bombers, BT will be devastated by the news that Oooooo-raaaaz- E-O didn’t get up, replacing with Jackson Merrett.
HEY NOW, YOU’RE A DRAFTSTAR
This is the big one, folks. $100k on offer. First 1,500 places getters guaranteed cold hard cash. You rarely get something for nothing in this world, you want to buy into this contest it will set you back twenty bucks. Not an insignificant amount if you don’t know what this DraftStars caper is all about.
Luckily for us, the lads and lasses at Fantasy Insider do know what they’re talking about. It’s quite hard to switch off your SuperCoach brain and pick players that are better suited to the Draftstars scoring system, so every bit of intel helps. You can get around their podcast here and you can give them a follow on Twitter here.
Also a shoutout to @thatsjustrood on Twitter. Writer of the esteemed Value Hunter articles for Fantasy Insider, he’s pretty good at finding a diamond in the rough.
Okay, that’s enough chitchat, what’s the Fantasy Insider ideal lineup for Wednesday’s contest?
Here’s my take:
RUCK
It’s extremely risky fading Brodie Grundy ($16,300) is his current form (3-round average sits at 119.5), but Tom Bellchambers (11,950) has a 77 under his belt against Sam Jacobs. Grundy struggled in his games against Essendon last season, recording 12 touches and 35 hitouts in the ANZAC clash, and 13 touches and 24 hitouts in the return match in round 16. Bellyache really opens up your salary cap, but it could also send you straight to the liquor cabinet.
DEFENCE
There’s not a lot of sub 10k options that I like. Andy McGrath just sneaks in a 9,750 and has gone good, bad, good, bad so far this year. If you believe in that sort of thing, he’s due for his good game this week.
There are six 10k options. I loathe to cheer on a Collingwood player but the loins begin to stir when Sam Murray ($10,350) tucks the footy under his arm and has flashed a 90DS upside. James Aish ($10,850 – also a mid) hasn’t dropped below 80DS yet.
FORWARD
Dev Smith is far and away your best forward option here but he’ll set you back 13k. There’s more value here than there is down back so I think I’ll fade him. Matt Guelfi ($8,300) better get an invite to the Brownlow because I want to see him in a suit. He also had a pretty good introduction to Draftstars last week. Callum Brown ($8,600 – also a MID) has back-to-back 70’s. Joe Daniher ($10,050) has been a bit rubbish so far, but he took home the ANZAC medal last year on the back of 16 touches (14 kicks), 8 marks and 3 goals.
MIDS
Jaidyn Stephensen ($8,650 – also a FWD) isn’t going to kick 5 every week but it would have done great things for his confidence. I love a bit of The Hyphen when he pops up. Will Hoskin-Elliot ($11,400) plays that important MID/FWD link up role at the Pies and he loves a kick, while Jordan de Goey ($10,600) is a bit of a flog but the flog goes alright. He’s capable of snagging multiple goals and loves some junk time stats. At the top tier, Sidebum is probably out of reach if you’ve gone with Grundy, flip a coin over Adam Treloar ($15,700) or Dyson Heppell ($15,950). For me, tails was the call, Heppell it is.
My lineup:
Take Dangers score of 135 or back in Dusty
take danger 135
Agreed
It does mean I have to take Henry’s score of 48 on my bench
What's the alternative?
Take Dangers score of 135 and emergencies score of 48 from
Henry
Hahahaha @ Sicily. He'll get 2-weeks plus he's served 1 already and probably cop another 2 before the byes for sniping somebody.
Glad I took seedsman and Fisher instead of sicily and Bonner at the start.
well done on starting with them
Early days to be gloating about the Seed pick. Fisher is a dud.
did you see him play against the eagles? 15 contested possessions.
Did you see him the week before?
Nah didnt, just looking at the sc scores dont get me wrong not calling him a dud player just a dud sc pick. Seed has a way to prove anything too after producing a 71 with a BE of 42.
Happy you picked Fisher???
He is averaging 88.2 if you had him at the start you should be over the moon.
Fritsch to Guelfi?
G-man wont play against Melb
why won't he play against the Melb??
trading in Jackson Merrett right now.
Gun
Is that you Lek?
mate Lek is an amateur compared to me.
I had Jacob Weitering, Josh Caddy AND Dan Hannebery at the start of the year
Noice Patch!
Well well well. Fritsch is out after all. Its time to pull the trade lever this week. Was hoping to save two trades this round, but with ZGL,
L Murphy, Olango, and NOW Fritsch earning SFA as well, it has forced my hands. Fritsch is gonski. I need cash and Fritsch is the unfortunate lamb to head off to the abattoir later tomorrow.
I am going to have to take a punt and go early on either Higgins or Guelfi.
Because I have 28 juicy trades, I can afford to take this calculated risk.
Then next week (If named), I can go Bonner to Mirra, and then Brayshaw to CLAYTON OLIVER…………..The prize.
Now I will have enough cash to do this comfortably. I am now even more determined to make it happen as Titch will probably get a week for that stupid upper cut to Goldy. Oliver will then take the place of Titch as he sits on the pine reflecting on his bad behaviour. If Titch gets off then that is a bonus.
Who would you go for Higgins or Guelfi? I am leaning towards Guelfi….
Higgo and G-Man. Bad and Bad
Time to pull off a Houdini! LOL
Do you have to do the trade this week to have the cash next week to get Oliver?
If you can get the cash just by Bonnar to Mirra, I would hold on to Frisch and take a donut. If you get One of the rookies, just because they are playing doesn’t mean they will score well. 60 at best. A trade is not worth 60 points.
Do you need the coin this week?
Hi Derek,
Like you said, If I trade In Mirra for Bonner next week, I will probably fall $6k short when I trade out Brayshaw for Oliver. I was thinking trading out Fritsch now for someone like Higgings or Guelfi so I will definately have the cash to get Oliver next week.
I had Henry onfield so there is no donut in play for Fritsch. Fritsh has a BE of 3, so he still has cash to make. On the flipside, If I don't get Oliver next week, I fear his price will start to rise again after bottoming out this week. Its a tough call. I have 28 trades due to being ultra discliplined to date and lucky with injuries. In summary, get Oliver sub $600K for Brayshaw and sacrifice Fritsh's 50K he might still have left in him.
Going early on Guelfi or Higgins is an obvious risk also.
I feel like taking a risk. But still have not quite made up my mind on the way I will go. Cheers mate.
Oliver has a BE 150. Gold predicting him to drop to $586k if he scores 118 this week.
Have you factored that into your calculations.
Bonar might go up a few dollars. But i'm thinking he might get rested/omitted next week, hasn't been that good.
Fritsch could easy make another $50k, all needs is one big score to make $100k
if you don't get Oliver, who else is on your watchlist for an upgrade? Yeo won't be $500k for long?
Yes, I have 27 of the juicy ones, so have made the same play. This is better than taking the 21 from Garlett. It also gives me enough cash to be in striking range of picking up Danger.
Higgins ,,i rekon they had the kid put on ice for the tight fixture, remember he was the top dog at the draft for very goodreason
Titch copped a fine TH.
Thanks Hedski. Nice bonus that.
Yet Joel gets a week.
Didn't see both incidents? Choking vs a graze
Hi guys
I have Fyfe as VC, do I take his capt score by loopholing fritsch? Unfortunately it means getting Garlett putrid 21pts and losing petracca's score and hoping dusty goes big . What does everyone think and what would you do?
I wouldn’t take Fyfe's score if it means copping Garletts 21.
Fyfe + Dusty x 2 + Petracca > Fyfe x 2 + Dusty + Garlett. Gawn would be the other C option assuming you have him.
Thanks biggerz
I thinking it will go something like this:
Option 1:Fyfe's 151& dusty 134 x2 ( this is his current season ave) & petracca approx 80 = 499. Vs
Option 2: Fyfe 151×2 dusty 134 and Garlett 21 = 457.
If I went option 1 and assuming petracca gets about 80 , dusty would have to get only 113 if I went with option 1. Very very achievable, dusty should get easily. So based on these assumptions, option 1 is best for my score
Are you related to Higgo, Murray?
Thanks but no, I do love quantum team mechanics though!
Without a doubt.
Yep!
I think I might just cop the donut for Fritz than waste the trade on Higgins or Guelfin.
Who is Frtiz ?
Guy in Hogan's Hero's….
Great stuff KEV Might have to say goodbye to Fritsch J S looks poor now.Balic hannan will challenge. looking at Lids as a pod
Have you got an idea what lids will jump up to
around 400k after that 153.
Interesting to note he didn’t play any footy over the weekend, NDD. Bit of general soreness maybe? Dees short turnaround, I reckon he’ll be back round 6
Agreed Kev.
Don't think there was soreness Kev. Melbourne kept 5 or 6 players from playing to be ready for the game tonight. They then picked from the best of them. Doesn't bode well for Fritsch. I'm surprised as he hasn't done anything wrong playing well in my view.
probably correct Kev short turnaround comes into play
I reckon he would've got over 'general soreness' in an 8 – 9 day break.
Last year, the same thing happened to Sam Weiderman and Dean Kent – play a handful of early games, kick a few goals, look likely … then GONSKI.
He'll be back. Richmond game is a big clash, that they think they can win. They're using the most experienced team possible id assume. Ditching Fritz would be a poor decision considering the teams they play up to the byes, hes every chance of playing a majority of them and sits on a BE of 5.
Donuts all around hey, not too sure on Guelfi or Higgins. Should I take the risk on either on or just cop a bloody donut? FML
Depends on how many trades you have left D but I like Higgins. Handy DPP and he's only just outside the best 22 so any injuries or suspensions and he's in.
I thinking it will go something like this:
Option 1:Fyfe's 151& dusty 134 x2 ( this is his current season ave) & petracca approx 80 = 499. Vs
Option 2: Fyfe 151×2 dusty 134 and Garlett 21 = 457.
If I went option 1 and assuming petracca gets about 80 , dusty would have to get only 113 if I went with option 1. Very very achievable, dusty should get easily. So based on these assumptions, option 1 is best for my score
Of course man
Dont settle for a 21.
Back in Tracca and Dusty.
Thanks TH
Am i the only one who is happy Fritsch is out?
Thank you capt Fritsch and VC Fyfe.
300. Ill take that.
Also wouldnt be too jittery or Trigga Happy on Fritsch.
Dees have said they held some players over from playing reserves this week as there is a short turnaround between Tuesday night and the weekend.
So wouldnt be surprised if he is subbed back in this weekend.
Oh thumbs up Kev.
Fritsch as a rook has been rested this week because of the 4-5 day break going into round 6.
Makes perfect sense to give the kid a rest.
Even if he comes back next week with a BE of 3, I am happy to let his cash go.
Clayton Oliver priced at a potentially sub $600K is an offer too good to refuse and will make up for the Fritsch trade in spades.
Cheers
Hawk if u have plan back it in mate.
Me. Will see if he gets as rd 6 gig first as still cash to make.
Plan backed in mate!
Oliver can't handle the tag.
What have you seen to prove that? He went forward with the jacobs tag and kicked 2 while still having 20? Pretty decent IMO
Yes Trigga, I'm not happy.
Why?
Cos I have Garletts 21 now, was hoping for at least another40-50 points from Fritsch. Had Fyfe captain so not stressing there.
I'm not happy cause I'm playing you this week in Magnificent 7 🙂
Yule be right always next week.🙈
No Frost or Lewis how does this effect Hibbard? I see more of a lock down role on 1 of the tiger smalls.
Why would you lock down a tiger small? It's all about forward pressure with the tigers.
He might score more and get his old role back
MMMMM…..I'v got to take Garlett's mammoth effort of 21…. guess its better then a big fat 0
Many in the same boat Stirlsy
Who does the Community think is a better Captain option out of Dusty and Big Maxy tomorrow night as having a hard time deciding? Reckon Max could go massive over the much shorter Nankervis but Dusty loves the big stage so who is the best choice for Captain (had NicNat as VC).
Gawn because everyone will have Dusty as captain.
If you’re feeling adventurous, go Gawn. Dusty is the safe pick as most will go for him but I like Gawn due to Dusty’s last 3 games vs dees
Dusty big crowd big occasion
There will be a huge focus on him though and maxy gonna getba lot of nice hitouts to advantage at 5 points a pop, will be interesting to see what happens thats for sure, Dusty unstoppable these days.
Yeah I heard Jones is going Dusty, not sure it'll stop him. Bernie not keen to tag him.
If Jones is given the job the Dees will struggle again, they need him as a mid not a tagger.
I haven’t watched too many melb games so what role is dean Kent playing and will he continue to score?
Like everyone I have Fritsch with Garlett me reserve .
Okay guys so frisch is a donut on fieldnfor me this week but have cash in the bank is dean kent an option ?
If you mean is Dean Kent an option that will provide me more points than Bayley Fritsch this week then yes, if you mean is Dean Kent an option that I will look back on at the end of the season and think jeez, that was a smart move, probably not.
His best year was 2016 when he played 20 games and averaged 71.7, a few tons in there here and there but largely inconsistent scores, could be a waste of a trade/ burnman..not saying he will be, just that he could be.
I'm also considering fritz to Kent and I'm not copping the dohnut. Sick of bad/dropped rookies and if kent is in a new role he should make more cash than fritz while providing better on field scores. Haven't seen a melb game this year and haven't heard from anyone about his role, so not sure
Hope you didn't do it. You were warned.
Word outta Melbourne is there will be a late out – if they bring Fritsch in Im gonna lose my ship.
Pretty impressive that you own a ship DEE 🙂
Ships in the night
Well it's either him or Tim Smith of the emergencies who can come in – everyone else played in the VFL on Sunday.
Is it time to Drop Zorko
Might as well hold now, not gaining anything by locking in a 120k price drop
YES. You don't keep a tumor in your midfield no matter how much it cost to buy it
May have to hold and hope. Can be M8/M9 at worst. He can come good though.
So, Sicily sent straight to the tribunal for deliberately standing on Atley's leg whilst he was lying on the ground…………Just as I was starting to curse myself by not starting him, then DANG!!!! I remember now, of course I didn't start him because he does sh-it like this all the time. Looks like another 2 week holiday for Mr angry.
Just what I need. Bloody Siciflog.
Only missed 1 game through suspension last year I think – flog factor was purely based on attitude – now he is showing his true colours, grrrrr
So Buddy already ruled out against cats.
Bruised heel, could be more than 1 week, Hanners out also, groin.
And hannas.
If the scales weren't already they r now tipped in the cats favour at home
Hedski be doing cartwheels.
Swans2012 not so much.
Well guess it evens it up a bit with Selwood x2 looking like potentially missing along with all the rest out.
Yes you ripper. GO CATS.
Parker to play forward again 🙁
Selwood to challenge
So he should Hope he wins.
Busy night at the tribuneral. 2 Flogs & a ducker appearing
Definitely should appeal
If Selwood gets a week and Burton doesn't, surely Steve Hocking must get involved.
It could explode at the tribunal tonight with Jelwood, Thomas and Sicilflog all attending.
Swap Selwood for Bugg and quite possibly have the 3 biggest flogs all there at once.
lol so true. I'm hoping Joel will smack Sicily for the knee in the head a few weeks back, and while he's at it might as well give one to Thomas for the cheap shot on his brother.
I still have Murphy warming the pine in defence. He is listed as 1 more week on the Crows injury list. Any views on his chances of getting back into the 22 when fit?
The coach said last week he was very close. Also said they had missed his pressure. I would say he is a big chance to play.
Good intel
Thanks.
Yep, thx Derek. I'll be happy to hold him a while yet. Naughton > Mirra looking like my trade next week.
he still has to get through the training sessions this week.
There is talk that Crouch and sloane will be back. running out of places for the young man
Does anyone know if an E on a player that didn't play counts. I left the E on Fogarty by mistake, but am planning to loophole Fyfe's score through Fritsch with Guelfi on the bench. Will it divert to Fogarty's doughnut as its the lower of the two E scores?
If so I will put the C on Dusty and Guelfi on field.
nope as Fogarty didn't play it won't count.
No, it will pick the lower score if it is 1 or more but wont use a 0 your fine.
I think it can use a zero, but only if the player is part of the squad and enters the ground.
Not correcting you or anything just pointing it out, and yep if they havent played all good.
that is something not many people know. if someone actually plays and for some reason scores a zero and you had them on the bench with the E, you can select another E as the zero score doesn't count. doesn't work for the players onfield.
That is not true. If a player takes the field, it doesn't matter what score they get it counts. It could be zero or could be -50. It will count. Guaranteed.
You are correct.
However I said if you have them on the bench with the E and they score a zero, it doesn’t count. Only for bench players
I still don't think that is the case. That's a pretty major glitch if true
Thanks boys!
No Hanners surely Mills gets more time in the guts.
roosy reckon that mills should be going in there more.
he was in the mid last week as a tagger, made parker spend more time in forward line. was 53 at HT but had a poor second half. i prefer him on half back as the loose man
Parker will be a forward next week with Buddy out
Jesus selwood got a week for that? if Lindsey flogas knocked out my brother he'd be getting a lot more then that
it looked just like a jumper punch, the fact that he was above him, it looked alot worse.
Wonder what happen to ADDICTS ANON ( GLEN ) Lost only 1 game last year and I had the honour of that in a bye but I will claim it .Cantered thru the finals also Mo both are top coaches
Mo is in the happy place but addict missing in action.
Hope he is doing ok.
Miss the addict around the place.
I was in The Magnificent 7 league with Glenn last year. This year I received an invite to that league and joined up again. Not all of the players from last year signed up which was disappointing because, from memory, the league was ranked twenty something at one stage. Anyhow, Glenn is once again the administrator this year but he has changed his team name from Addicts Anonymous. I also wondered why we haven't heard from him on this forum and miss his good advice and insightful comments.
Hmmm big decision to make. Have 2 midfield spots available and dont currently have Danger and Dusty. Obviously these 2 are the ideal choices to bring in to my team but if Zerrett has a big game tomorrow, the temptation at his price may be too much for me to refuse. Anyone considering Zerrett over these 2 for a potential 200k savings?
I'm looking at Merrett for M8. I don't have Damger yet either, think he might be the priority. It's hard when you know that Merrett may rise soon and Danger still has more to lose but Danger is the first priority I think.
Really depends Holty I’ve had a lot of injuries so far and while I’m optimistic I can get the players I want some will have to come in that are not my first choice.
Also if you grab Merrett now it might be an easy upgrade towards the end of the season if Dusty is still going well. I'm a bombers supporter so might be a bit biased but I do think Merrett will come good.
i traded kelly to Merrett this week.
Have Dusty but not Danger.
Merretts price was just too tempting. He looked good last week, was sprinting to the ball and i saw he was back to his best.
the round 14 bye is a problem with Dusty and danger
At worse Merrett will make a top M9
Bonner to Zerrett next week for me. Or plan to anyway.
Looks like Sicily will be getting at least a week
rip, hold or trade?
I will be holding as it looks like just the one week. A bit soft to cop a week for that imo
I’m holding 1 week is not worth the trade, especially with how many injuries everyone has been hit with
Sicily banned for a week
Will have to field Naughton now. Crud, might go OK against Carlton though.
Yep confirmed
Weak as P1ss MRP
yep if they want to make a statement it has to be 2+, i'll gladly take 1 though for my teams sake
A non flog would have got a fine
Can someone explain to me what’s wrong with Goldy. I finally grew the balls to sideways him to NicNat this week. Round 4, had 10 touches, 31 hitouts, 81% TOG and scored 76SC. Round 5, 12 touches, 31 hitouts, 90% TOG and scores 77SC. Both in very big wins.
Watched the game against Carlton and he absolutely monsters us and deserved more points than he got. Performing well and has good fixtures coming up main problem is if preuss gets back in the side
Which rook should I get??? Higgins or Guelfi……….Damn it's tough. Higgins is the more highly rated rook and must be very close to being in the tigers side permanently. I think I might go him….Or is there a real case for Guelfi? Time to get a coin……
Don't know much about guelfi but seems like but Higgins job security looks really suspect so many similar forwards to him and those small forwards earned their colours last season. That being said he is really hyped hope he nails a spot in the team because he is perfect downgrade especially considering he is dpp
Thanks mate.
Have a look at both boys over the next day & make a call. I'd be concerned about Higgins JS if Caddy is available
Thanks Pieman. I am going to make my move now. I have no premos out either injured nor suspended. I am quite fortunate there. But I want to take advantage and claw back up the rankings. I want Clayton Oliver next week. No ifs no buts. His price will level out at around $580K after this round. Bloody bargain. Have plenty of trades. (28)
Trading Bonner to Mirra and A Brayshaw to Oliver will probably leave me around 10K short.
Therefore Fritsch has to go early NOW. I am going to take a calculated punt, and punt Fritsh for Guelfi.
Wish me luck!!
Cheers mate.
I had the same dilemma and went Guelfi for a couple of reasons. Cheaper price and figured I could get Higgins next week and use his DPP status to achieve my premo target in the forward line.
PS also wanted to have another look at Higgin's availability with Caddy back.
😂 3 premiums short next week oh yay
Buddy & Sicily is a killer for many. Who's your other one?
Jelwood
Is it worth trading Fritsch to Guelfi?
I just pulled the trigger mate. Fritsh OUT and Guelfi IN. Bloody relieved. Can now afford either Oliver or Dusty next week!!! Happy days.
When is it the right time to look at bringing danger in?
Big test for Hogan with Rance on him.
I dont think Higgins will any JS issues the way he is going. Bloody perfect to trade into my midfield for DPP. That kid looks like Jake Stringer on steroids!!
yeah ignore what i said before about JS deadset gun surely hardwick doesnt drop him
Definitely in my team this week
Caddy will be back next week
Reckon Higgins goes out? Personally think Lloyd makes way for Caddy
He's my downgrade target next week for Garlett and then Brayshaw to Gray and swap Higgins to the mids.
Don't wanna jynx it but those who put the c on max are looking good
86 at HT he is going huge.
With Fritsch out, I took the C off Max to take Fyfe’s 151. May have short-changed myself!
Thnx for the comp Jugs I reckon I'm pretty hot too
Selwood free to play
It had to be done.
He's $555,900 on my computer how do you get him free?
Dusty 5 kicks 1 tackle 1 free against and is on 48 at half time not bad. Imagine he gets 10 kicks in the 2nd half and kicks a goal might end up on 150!
I suspect he is getting a few clearances even though Gawn is beating Nank for hitouts.
8ContP, 6clearances 1 clanger going @ 75%de.
No doubt that the 'superstars' get a lot of leniency from the umpires when it comes to disposal and holding the ball decisions. Maybe we have an unwritten 'benefit of any doubt' clause in our rules
Gawn is going to get 200 at this rate.
Yep Hibbo gone, just who to is the question
Goodbye Hibberd you useless piece of Sh#t!!
Who u thinking of trading him to?
Simpson!
I feel sorry for Dean Kent.
I don't feel sorry for the point chasers who got him in this week (I'm playing one).
No one would have got Kent!
Surely not
At least one person did, playing him in Piemans cash league…..thank you 275 point win coming up. I need some luck.
Nice
I’m playing one as well and it cost him the win.
Makes up for me having that magician Zorko, whose magic trick this year appears to be to make points disappear. Hopefully he’s stashing them away somewhere safe and sometime soon he pulls them all out of his bag.
RIP those with Dusty as skipper
goddamn those fend offs are majestic though
should be worth10 points each
Think I'll have to hold Hibberd against my will due to trade plans for one more week. All other premos travelling pretty well except for billings but he's improving
Yeh I've held him, wish he was paying me back like Lambert has over last few weeks! Selling him low though now….
Doedee, Finlayson and Murray ALL have better averages than Hibberd. Seriously thinking about flicking Hibberd, swinging Finlayson from mids into his spot and spending the cash on a mid.
Stuff that.. Hibberd is officially a liability! Move him on…
Who held Lambert through the tough times?
at 420k could be a great upgrade option.
I did
Only because i was on holidays rd's 1-3.
sh…it internet in philippines
Had to deal with cox when i got back.
That's the collingwood player if anyone is confused.
Not with any confidence, but yes. Avg of 93 after the bye last year, so I thought he should continue on OK, but didn't start well…
Hibberd added to the never again list. Cya
I don't think anyone could have seen this poor start happening. Last week he was damn good.
Melbourne were just crap in general, bad disposal efficiency from the start and then folded in the last quarter, Gawn can hold his head high.
Hibberd not a premo this year
Petracca not a premo this year
Billings pending
Sicily is a flog
Yep…at the start of the season I considered Hibberd a walk up premo (wrong) and Petracca a gamble for having a breakout year (looking wrong so far)
Melbournes draw gets a bit easier in the next few weeks. Still think Tracca is worth holding onto to, could improve I think.
Glad I don’t have Hibberd.
I picked Petracca as a potential break out. If he doesn’t breakout out then he’s averaging what I’d expect and paid for , so will be the last upgrade or sit at M7 at the end of the season .
Bugger. Should have put the C on Gawn not Fyfe.
So apparently Hibberd went off for a fair period of time after getting smacked in the face? Do people think he would of got near 100 if it didn't happen?
No, doesn’t use the ball well, falls over all of the time, drops easy marks, doesn’t get close taking kick ins. He’s cooked
AFL stats have Hibberd TOG as 75%. Also caught my eye that Petracca was only 74%.
With the 5 day break coming up both teams looked to give certain players a lot of bench time Cotchin was the same
I flicked him for Yeo this week – wish I'd gone with my other trade of Billings to Gray but 85 from Billings is not too bad – would've
been better if he could kick straight. He has to stay now on account of Sicily's BS. Hibberd was racking up possessions in the first quarter (7) and looked like the Hibberd of old. Then he went missing and the smack in the face wouldn't have helped.
I reckon. He's fit as [email protected]#k now finding the ball. Glad I held him
Sadly for those who were sucked into starting him last years form is exactly what he's producing. he went sub 50 twice sub70 5-times and sub80 9-times last year including 3 out of the last 6-games and only 5-times 100+ for the whole year.
This year so far 1-sub50 plus 2-sub80 and 2-100+
He's shown he's not a keeper fwd or mid so why would you bother?
If you have him trade him out and create some round 14 flexibility
I need 73 from Murray tomorrow to crack 2300 for the round. It's looking slightly above par I think
I need 223 from Zerrett, Smith and Murray to get to 2300 so i should be able to get to it without to much hassle.
I'd say low 2200 will be about average. What do others think?
I’m heading for just under 2100, but very luckily should win 2 of 4 leagues. Holding Zorko and Kelly really hurts at the moment, but still sitting on 28 trades.
The 2 that will beat me are about 2300, so yeah 2200 to 2300 looks a decent score.
Why did I change the C from Gawn to Dusty with 5 minutes to go? Been saying all week that Gawn would monster Nankervis… I really don't help myself
2250 with Murray to go happy enough with that after the last couple of weeks.
2097 with Murray and Devon to go, 2250-2300 will make me happy since I had Savage, Greene, Henry and Garlett.
Damn right Hedski few of my leagues players are looking at some shocking scores that went well the last couple of weeks.
Hopefully this means everything is righting itself again.
Grundy, Smith, Howe, Stephenson, Murray and 1850 – looking like hitting smack bang on 2300 which will be by far my best score this year and hopefully a sign of good things to come.
Nice. Ive had a similar struggle early this season. Hopefully its turning around for me as well
Nanks has a hard 4 weeks coming up. I only see him failing like tonight. Although his 71 was very generous.
That was the risk when i picked him 66, maybe he'll surprise me and score well but if not i'll be looking to go to grundy soonish.
Grundy & Stephenson 226 points – who wins? Up against Gator in the SC elites league (which by pure luck I am 0-3 in). Really need this win. What do we reckon folks?
I think the 226 points will beat grundy and Stephenson but should be close
Surprisingly many low projected scores in my league games even a league full of coaches from this site..
Par still seem to be 2200-2250?
Last week JOM Savage Bundy & Garlett collectively scored 414 points for me. This week they all sucked & scored 185 collectively. Still should get 2200+ but only because I dismissed Billings & Hibberd for Heeney & Gray
Projected 2450 with Guelfi, Hurley, Smith and Murray to achieve that. Would have been another 51 points if I had gone through with Billings to Gray – should always follow my gut.
