A lot of community members right up there in the rankings!

BVB21 · 14/05/2018 at 19:00
Hurley out sucks.
For someone like yourself who is a genuine chance to win what’s your limit for amount of weeks out before you trade someone like Hurley?

Lazza · 14/05/2018 at 19:08
Hey BVB, I know your question was to WoW, but for me even if it was a couple Rolf weeks, it seems most of those with hammies this year seem to take 3-4 weeks to return to their premo form..

Lazza · 14/05/2018 at 19:09
Rolf = of … spellchecker ..

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 19:16
Rolf Harris has gone away for more than a couple of weeks mate haha

BVB21 · 14/05/2018 at 20:02
Yeah the thing is it’s a different scenario if you are going for overall vs league.

Sc_Wow · 14/05/2018 at 19:36
Really not sure at this point, if it is 1-2 I’ll have to hold. It’s a tough one though. The one line that is lacking rookie backup atm

Lazza · 14/05/2018 at 19:05
And many of us not 🙁
Go you good things .. cheering you all on whilst I concentrate on my cash leagues this season..

r_calve · 14/05/2018 at 15:10
just saying that Keefe and Eagles are also on the bubble

SC_Sixty6 · 14/05/2018 at 19:10
Been hit with any injuries yet? Or still cruising through the minefield blindfolded?

Russty_ · 16/05/2018 at 23:21
All those peeps who said…"you gotta have faith in your premos"…unfortunately Billings was never a premo, only a breakout contender, big downward spiral from him this year as well as the poxy Saints.
I had him too at the start but offloaded early on, can't see anyone picking Billings ever again lol.

r_calve · 14/05/2018 at 15:03
seems good, why did you have cox in the first place though

Red5 · 14/05/2018 at 15:07
He was a left field experiment.

Wedge · 14/05/2018 at 17:53
It was tempting after his jlt performance. I considered doing it myself

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 02:03
The old JLT burnman trap. Been there but never again!

Chris · 14/05/2018 at 15:00
Ok will do

INPieman · 14/05/2018 at 15:02
Surely you wait till after his bye

r_calve · 14/05/2018 at 15:04
wait till by, he might drop a tad this week

CJ84 · 14/05/2018 at 15:11
Been hard to not bring him in. Makes no sense bringing him in before his bye though. Can’t wait to push Billings to F7 and bring gray in

Simo036 · 14/05/2018 at 15:11
Mitch Robinson Fwd?

Ja191 · 14/05/2018 at 15:52
Hurley in a week or 2 is a great option if you can wait if not someone like a yeo/mundy and the two you named could be good aswell.

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 02:01
Menegola.

r_calve · 14/05/2018 at 15:03
I'm thinking him or Jimmy webster

BVB21 · 14/05/2018 at 20:07
It’s a bit of a risk but he is a Good POD and playing well

r_calve · 14/05/2018 at 15:06
finlayson

Defying_Madness · 14/05/2018 at 16:27
Doedee

CaptainObvious · 14/05/2018 at 22:53
Murray

JohnDJ59 · 14/05/2018 at 22:56
Doedee. He is worth the most, has the highest BE.

seen_burns · 14/05/2018 at 23:32
Doedee

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:59
Finlayson because I cant see him scoring well again.

r_calve · 14/05/2018 at 15:07
yeah probs but your choice

BadgerHoney7 · 14/05/2018 at 15:07
yep

INPieman · 14/05/2018 at 15:12
Too much risk in the role he plays of dropping a 30

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:57
Yep seen it before, see it again.

Derek · 14/05/2018 at 15:19
i had 4 Villians and 4 Damned, on field.
what is worse, a Villian or a Damned?

r_calve · 14/05/2018 at 15:26
damned

TOPHAWK1 · 14/05/2018 at 15:55
Billings is beyond damned. He should be tarred, feathered, and quarterized. He is the only major spud left in my side. I am going to keep him and treat him like a rookie from here. Will torture him with lots of bench time and loophole duties. I do believe he will come good eventually and then become a genuine POD.

gator59 · 14/05/2018 at 16:36
Give him another 5 years Toppa and he may come good

TOPHAWK1 · 14/05/2018 at 15:48
Excellent. Ronke should line up this week in his same role.

SC_Sixty6 · 14/05/2018 at 19:00
I can see the same thing happening to Ronke as it did Henry.

BVB21 · 14/05/2018 at 21:01
Yeah me too.
Made a mistake bringing him in for Fritsch.
Will pay for it next few weeks

Mystic_Mac · 14/05/2018 at 15:48
What's one more week at this point haha.

Defying_Madness · 14/05/2018 at 16:26
Hopefully he keeps missing so I can get him after his bye at a cheap price

gator59 · 14/05/2018 at 16:59
We can only hope so DM

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 18:48
Missing a week, and they're not sure when he might be back also.

Lazza · 14/05/2018 at 19:22
So what’s the plan WoW? … that will be 4 weeks now and he hasn’t been able to hit the training tack for any significant time… and didn’t train the 3 weeks before that…
I’m holding Walters too, so can’t afford to keep carrying both..
By trading Buddy this week and go to any two premos … probably Yeo and Bont is starting to appeal.
Thoughts?

DavidSA · 14/05/2018 at 21:55
Turfed him after 3 weeks out made 70k doing it too
Sounds like the injury is beyond a bruised heel but rather a bruised Achilles which is 4-6 weeks always
Heel is the bone lower down vs Achilles which provides spring, strenght, stability and movement.

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 22:01
Sounds like you got out while the gettin was good Dave, I did the same with Billings, otherwise known as crapshit, I offloaded that spud for 493.

DavidSA · 14/05/2018 at 22:03
Yeah man Franklin to Hogan take the cash guys I'm thinking he will take the full 6 games off

DavidSA · 14/05/2018 at 22:08
Can't believe what the Saints coach is doing to him. Either drop him or put him where he can regain confidence. It's too late now though bloody dumb coaching

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 22:11
And yet he still has a job?…and every week he fronts up on AFL 360 saying how there are "promising signs" there, or "we're just not executing good enough", he needs to be executed from the head Coaching role.

Sandyf62 · 15/05/2018 at 00:49
Been holding him in hope, if I'd known it would be another week I would have brought in Ronke last week, oh well, held this long, one more week won't matter.

AB13 · 15/05/2018 at 12:07
Swapped him for Gray 3 weeks ago, very happy with that bit of work.

INPieman · 14/05/2018 at 16:21
Billing's to anything is a good option

johnno2908 · 14/05/2018 at 23:22
It’s bloody sad to be honest. I don’t have him, but what a disappointment he and the Saints have been.

Boris_Baconbeer · 14/05/2018 at 15:55
At least you didn't pick Weitering at the start of the year 🙁

Pcoops · 15/05/2018 at 19:15
Or Marley Williams!!!!

Steeeve · 14/05/2018 at 17:57
I made the same decision as you. But you know what? In SC finals we will have Matt Crouch kicking arse. Ronke's money will be missed but there is a chance Crouch packs on $100,000 by then anyway.

Woosa · 14/05/2018 at 21:47
Agree. M. Crouch will be fine.

INPieman · 14/05/2018 at 15:55
With a BE of 100 who cares when he's back. It's time to go. And thanks for the donut prick. And congrats on your 1 point win over me TH

TOPHAWK1 · 14/05/2018 at 15:59
Thanks Pieman! Been on the receiving end of those one point results plenty of times. Undoubtedly we shall meet again later in the year. Naughton is kaput. He will be traded to Yeo this week. Just has the handy bye and if he only misses one week, then perhaps hold him, but like you say that BE of 100 he will not get close to. Time to cut him lose.

INPieman · 14/05/2018 at 16:05
We will meet again. A downgrade to Keefe & the flexibility that offers with Flogicily is very appealing. Yeo certainly looks an appealing trade in

Northernsoul74 · 14/05/2018 at 16:36
Dogs saying 2-3 weeks.

Sam_01 · 14/05/2018 at 16:35
Go yeo and grab gray after the bye!

redherringfc · 14/05/2018 at 16:55
I’ll be getting Rocky after his bye, provided he stays fit. He’ll probably go up a little this week, but it’s definitely worth waiting on.
Then I’ll cross my fingers that he strings together a few high scores. Hopefully by the time he gets injured again he’ll have made 200k and averaged over 100 for the games he’s played.
Zorko will probably get tagged again and put out some more horrible scores. But I wish I’d held him 2 rounds ago and got rid of Billings. Up there with my biggest ever sc stuff ups.

ErrolBurns · 14/05/2018 at 16:59
Yeah thinking the same thing his BE is 62 so if you want to get him it would have to be this week I think. What is ur defence atm?

Sam_01 · 14/05/2018 at 17:32
Got
Yeo, laird, simmo, savage, doedee, murray how about you

BVB21 · 14/05/2018 at 20:05
No Sicily or in the forward line?

Sam_01 · 14/05/2018 at 21:02
Yeah he is in the forward line mate

Buccaneer · 14/05/2018 at 21:06
definitely been a solid pick for those who got him earlier, but worried about his durability in the saints backline. thought savage was a long-term option and he seems to be tailing off these last couple weeks. not too convinced on any of their players atm.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 14/05/2018 at 17:26
Rage my man! Rage.

gator59 · 14/05/2018 at 17:48
If they rage traded very week they would be out of trades come they byes

Connor · 14/05/2018 at 18:05
Gator my guess is that at least half of those "rage trades" will be reversed come Friday night. Sometimes it just feels good to vent… looking at you Jack Billings

gator59 · 14/05/2018 at 18:45
Yeah I see that point and I bet a lot won't… I think they have no idea about SC

Sc_Wow · 14/05/2018 at 21:34
Probabaly the same blokes that traded Fyfe after round 1

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 21:53
I traded Fyfe out for Jarrod Pickett Wow and I stand by my decision 🙂

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 18:45
They'll surely regret it Gator…Dusty always does this…then comes good.

gator59 · 14/05/2018 at 19:18
I sort of regret getting him in now when crouch done his hammy knowing he will drop in price at some point
But there's no way i'll be trading him out

JohnDJ59 · 14/05/2018 at 19:35
Did the same thing gator, started without both Danger and Dusty, thinking I would get them cheaper down the track, but traded Dusty in after Crouch was injured,I should have waited and just downgraded to a rookie. Will be getting Danger in next week.

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 21:42
Hey John I was one of the suckers that paid full price for Dusty, even though I knew he does this every year, but for some strange reason I thought it'd be different this year after his Brownlow performance..fact is he usually always falls below 500k at some point during the season. He'll finish strong, as he always does, he must have some kind of motivation problem early to mid season.

JohnDJ59 · 14/05/2018 at 22:03
That's funny Russty because I actually paid $900 more than you did since I got him in round three after his 139 and 160. I did have Dusty in my line up most of preseason, but you talked me out of starting him due to how he usually falls below 500k, plus there was that article in fantasysupercoach about Brownlow blues.

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 22:07
Yeah bloody hell ay?…I went against my own rule and bought high because Whitfield was up and down, and I thought he was a failed experiment, (after starting Whitfield over Cogs), If I'd started Cogs I'd be ranked top 1000 now I reckon.

JohnDJ59 · 14/05/2018 at 22:40
Sorry Russty I just realized you didn't actually start him, I remember you saying you had to get him in sooner rather than later, was that around round 5 ? if so then yes you did pay full price.

Sandyf62 · 15/05/2018 at 00:35
I started with Danger and Titch, but not Dusty, I also traded him in when Crouch was out injured, it was had not to his form at that stage was very good, I would have been better off getting in either Oliver or Bont, who will be coming in for me this week.

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:53
I started without all three of Titch, Danger and Dusty. Complete madness.

gator59 · 15/05/2018 at 09:18
Geez what ya been smokin, Smokin not starting at least one of the big 3

JohnDJ59 · 15/05/2018 at 16:25
At least you could get them cheaper.

nankthetank · 14/05/2018 at 18:02
Been very good but can you really see him keeping it up the whole year?

ToughBretts · 14/05/2018 at 20:26
I'm all in on Jimmy.
Only three players are averaging more than 6 rebound-50s per game. Hurley (6.12), Shaw (6.88) and Webster who is leading the AFL with 7.12 per game.
He is also one of the best kicks in the entire competition, in a backline with players like Nathan Brown and Jake Carlisle who are interceptors who don't distribute. This says to me that he is being actively used in this role and is delivering great games for them.
He also takes kickouts to himself, and is a terrific reader of the play who also pushes up the left wing to use his damaging leg.
I get that he has no runs on the board, but he ticks every box as a breakout player.
For reference, his worst game this year was an 81, which was from 18 touches (his lowest disposals of the season) in round one.
Since then, he hasn't had fewer than 20 touches in a game, and has hit 30 twice. Pair high disposals with high efficiency = SC gold.

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:51
Its because saints are getting smashed though, not because he's a gun? (Tbh havent watched him this year just assuming)

ToughBretts · 15/05/2018 at 01:54
if that was the case then Shane savage wouldn't be struggling in my opinion

Steeeve · 14/05/2018 at 17:55
If there is a Go Fund Me page to ensure WCE try this strategy I will happily donate. Dream scenario.

nankthetank · 14/05/2018 at 18:02
Bold of you to not start Laird

Holty01 · 14/05/2018 at 19:49
Was not a smart move. It has back fired. Went Mcgovern instead.

The Ranger · 14/05/2018 at 17:29
Been thinking the same thing Keen.
My preseason plan was to bring him in after his bye but I'll be watching him closely now that SPP and Rockliff are back.

Steeeve · 14/05/2018 at 17:55
As a non-owner I still want him but won't bring him in straight after his bye. Will hope he plops out a 40 like he was prone to doing last year. Then pounce.

Sniff · 14/05/2018 at 18:19
I hear you, but i still think he is given enough of a run through the middle to score 90+ on a weekly basis

RobDog · 14/05/2018 at 18:28
Thanks Keenbutclueless, was definitely aiming for Gray after his bye, but now you have me thinking. Very good point, hats off.

SC_Sixty6 · 14/05/2018 at 19:27
Doesn't really matter of you've had him since rd 2. You're that far ahead of the rest and if others get him in its just nullified anyway.

Sam_01 · 14/05/2018 at 18:01
Why?

iLoveNMFC · 14/05/2018 at 18:18
Hamstring injury

Lazza · 14/05/2018 at 18:29
Yep, heard same on SEN… Buddy to miss again as well.. seems like his will be few more weeks..

Physio expert · 14/05/2018 at 21:53
Hurley will be at least three out and Buddy? Who knows?

Defying_Madness · 14/05/2018 at 17:46
Yeo or Simpson will be top 6 so pick them

ROB14 · 14/05/2018 at 17:56
Yeah was thinking Simpson, seeing I have hurn….. Any thoughts on Adams?

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:49
Is great if his body is right. If you have the trades and no other issues then id say go for it.

Defying_Madness · 14/05/2018 at 17:45
If it's a couple he will be ripe for an after bye pickup from either Finlayson or doedee

Steeeve · 14/05/2018 at 17:54
This helps me a lot. I want to bring him in after two more games but have other priorities.

AFC1886 · 14/05/2018 at 17:56
I’m going Doedee based on the fact he has the highest BE of the three

Ja191 · 14/05/2018 at 18:19
or someone has hacked into their accounts and sabotaged them

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 18:42
Or they jumped on Nurse Ratchett's computer in the Looney bin while Jack Nicholson distracted her?…:)

Boris_Baconbeer · 14/05/2018 at 18:59
lol Love it Russty

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 19:01
Bacon Beer Battered Hamburgers for all Boris! 🙂

NEIL demons delight · 14/05/2018 at 20:31
good one chief

NEIL demons delight · 14/05/2018 at 19:38
maybe GATOR is one

FrillyKnickers · 14/05/2018 at 23:02
One of them was me, I upgraded Relton Roberts

Dildor · 15/05/2018 at 13:04
Downgraded*

Swans2012 · 14/05/2018 at 20:08
Yep I'm hoping he is too, don't want to waste a trade on him

Puss · 14/05/2018 at 21:56
NO. He is a dud. Only Demon supporters believe in him. He is another Watts. Get rid of him.

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 22:00
Reckon he's more meaningful as a cash-up or down to someone good!

Lazza · 14/05/2018 at 19:11
Hahaa, frustrating init… though if they all sit down, no one would pose the question..

BVB21 · 14/05/2018 at 20:03
Sixty6 is right though.
It gets asked all the time.

Cpt · 14/05/2018 at 20:24
Is it to late to bring in Kelly and Ronke?

Disco · 14/05/2018 at 20:26
nothing is too late, yes its not the best idea but there isn't any other rookies coming through. Think about it this way, you have billings at $340k (BE 98 could drop another $20k), you could cut losses and down grade to Ronke, he rises in value another $150 in the next 3 games and you have gone close to making your money back on billings. So really its not the worst idea.

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 20:42
66…is it too late to bring Tim Kelly in?…I started Josh Bootsma instead but think Kelly might be a decent rookie after having a look at him for a few weeks.

Rocksta · 14/05/2018 at 21:23
Lmfao

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 14/05/2018 at 21:52
Straight trade for dusty in a couple of weeks.
Would have fitted me out for the looney suit if i suggedted that one in the pre season

Brissy bombers · 14/05/2018 at 21:02
Stop whinging and give your computer a spell for a while sixty6!

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 21:56
More stating facts rather than whinging I think.

DavidSA · 14/05/2018 at 22:11
All I want to know is… too late to trade in my Datsun 1600?

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 22:27
I'll buy it off ya Dave, and whack an SR20DET in it bud…sleeper!

DavidSA · 14/05/2018 at 22:28
😂💰 cheers

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 22:33
Bloody great little rally cars …those little boxes were.

TOPHAWK1 · 14/05/2018 at 20:29
Yep. I made some of your moves this week. Whacked the VC on Titch and the C on Fyfe instead of Gawn. (Only lost net 22 points there though). Still got Billings….Fark!!! What a spud. Not trading him now as I will use him as a forward rookie. He will improve at some point you would think? Had Henry onfield. (Not Spargo-on bench) But it get's better. Had Naughton onfield for a donut, and Zerrett producing an almighty turd!
I went Ronke over Mutch though!!! And I am a proud owner of Clayton Oliver. At least I got a few things right. Went up 2000 spots to around 6500 too.
Hope that puts it in perspective as your ranking is sensational. Chin up mate!

Rocksta · 14/05/2018 at 20:55
Cheers TH.
I’m going to hold Billings as well although I must say I’m really starting to wonder if he’s ever gonna come good.

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 21:22
Maybe as a bench backup option going into the finals. He's shit and so are Stkilda, and so is their excuse making Coach, everytime he's on AFL 360…he's just trying to extend his job time, so he doesn't get sacked.

Profellow · 14/05/2018 at 22:04
Do you have a job? You listen to, watch everything and, have a comment on all sorts of things. Guys like you turn us off SC. I’m going to do what Derek suggests. Ignore your comments.

Derek · 14/05/2018 at 22:15
I like Russty. Love his enthusiasm. Did a massive preseason and I hope he has a great season.

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 22:31
Cheers Derek, I must be clogging the feed or something?…lol, Love your ballsy attitude too mate, you love a risk, doesn't always pay off for you but if it does, sheesh…watch out SC, you have big stones mate.

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 22:18
Yeah I own my own business and also 2 investment properties, so I'm busy at times and other times, have plenty of time on my hands.
Sorry if you don't appreciate my comments, but I thought this was a free Forum// Community where we can post whatever we like.
I believe Derek suggested people ignore Troll's comments, I don't believe I'm a Troll, maybe you are?

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 14/05/2018 at 22:28
Only 2 mate?
Lightweight. 😁

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 22:32
Gotta fit time in for Golfing too mate haha, I only need enough money to be able to do what I want.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 14/05/2018 at 22:39
Yeah really need to hit the links more.
Do enjoy a nice walk spoiled by a small white ball.🤣

Multi_ · 15/05/2018 at 06:16
Ignore them Rusty. You make bloody good comments champ

Russty_ · 15/05/2018 at 18:01
Cheers Multi, love your pic, hilarious, and your comments bud.

Jambo · 14/05/2018 at 23:56
Bloody Murphy’s Law!

Phil · 14/05/2018 at 19:36
Also have Cripps & Titch already

Tyruddanaut · 14/05/2018 at 20:21
I have 5 players out during R12 and about to be 6 next week or the week after – I'll evaluate.
I have fallen short, with 5 premiums out in R13 but most of my rookies too.
Down to 7/8 out in R14 and I'm dreading it. But there should be a maximum of 8 out per round and I'm doing alright.
I'm planning to bring in Rocky in two weeks time or around then at least, looks the goods and should prove himself against Gold Coast in Shanghai.
The top players on my watchlist are:
2X R12, 1X R13 and 1X 14 for defence
1X R10, 1X 12, 4X R14 for mid
2X R12, 4X R14

Phil · 14/05/2018 at 20:33
Sounds like a solid plan Tyruddanaut, but my question to you would be: Do you really want Rockliff, or is purely just because he will have already had his bye?
I'm also considering Boak & Westhoff but I don't wanna pick someone just for bye purposes.

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:45
Yeah I try not to compromise my team just to have one week better during the byes.

Octa · 14/05/2018 at 22:05
Add St. Kilda to your list.

Tyruddanaut · 14/05/2018 at 20:08
Jack Darling is a key forward so prepare for inconsistency. But if West Coast keeps up this structure and quality, I think he could be top 8.
Wait on Tom McDonald, he hasn't proved himself yet
I don't believe in Robinson, but he seems to be able to score well

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:44
Darling, Tmac then Mitch.

BVB21 · 14/05/2018 at 20:21
Watched the game against freo and he was so good but I am torn because he’s never been close to a premo before.
Hurley and Howe were top players last year and Hurn is consistently top 20.
Webster is a real dark horse

Redpill5 · 14/05/2018 at 21:23
I’m bringing in Webster this week because he’s better for my bye structure and only owned by 1% of teams. He seems to the player they like setting up their plays out of defense (together with savage, who is more a break the lines defender), takes a few kick outs. Only seen a couple of his games but he looks elite by foot and a good size for intercept marking.

Tyruddanaut · 14/05/2018 at 21:25
I just can’t afford Howe right now. Hurley is injured for a couple and then will drop in price

ATeam12345 · 15/05/2018 at 03:43
Webster has been a "breakout" candidate for the last few years. Seems he's finally gotten there.

JohnDJ59 · 14/05/2018 at 22:50
Ok so not too bad then,I was just expecting the worst with all the injures my players have been coping. I only just brought in Hurley a couple of weeks ago and Pendles last week. Thought maybe someone had jinxed me.

Sandyf62 · 15/05/2018 at 00:42
Same, I brought him in for Bonner in round 7, was my first upgrade in defence, I already have Walters and Buddy sitting on the pine.

JEL · 15/05/2018 at 01:49
Of course he is, that's why i brought him in last week…..
The slightly good news is that they are saying only 1 week.

Willymack1234 · 14/05/2018 at 20:25
Safe fwd premo

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 20:44
I'm thinking about Zorkos too…am I crazy crazy insane?

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 20:44
I guess they should call it the heroes, the villains, the damned and the bloody injured in the first quarter!…for 0

Steve · 15/05/2018 at 05:29
What about Lloyd ,has done ok past two weeks?

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 20:48
Cumming could explode over the next 3 weeks lol

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:43
Nope, Kelly still has a low BE, only 430k and averaging 99. Hold. Surely got someone else to trade? May have to double downgrade altho not sure of 2 gamer rookies right now, maybe early on one?

DavidSA · 15/05/2018 at 10:00
It's not only his avg of 99 but his consistency too he is a must till Geelongs bye even if you lose coin on him before you chop him out. He will be 450k – 460k there abouts by then

BlueBoy · 14/05/2018 at 20:43
Apologies for the joke. I just thought I'd have seen it from someone else already.
Maybe everyone just has more class than I do.

KSinny · 14/05/2018 at 20:45
haha dont worry mate it was good

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 20:48
I liked it mate..:), saw a team in the trenches called cumming in your poHolke…lol
Not sure about cumming or keefe, if you should get them, but for Buddha's sake, get rid of Petracca, he sucks!

BlueBoy · 14/05/2018 at 21:18
Cheers fellas. That's a brilliant team name haha.
Petracca's had his chance and he's definitely gone. So many mistakes this season but the last 4 weeks have been very kind.
Not many options down back at the moment. Might have to hold Doedee and Murray for a while…

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:41
Yeah ditch him if possible, but make sure you know your preferred 6 forwards, and get them at good prices, I know Heeney will drop more and Gray after bye obviously.
Doedee and Murray should do ok and can get you 80 type scores I reckon.

BlueBalls · 15/05/2018 at 11:19
Have McLean, Heeney, Hogan, Smith and Walters. Gray is my last upgrade. I'm thinking I might have to bring Yeo in anyway and get Phillips early as he looks to have the best job security. Murray and Holman for Oliver next week (hopefully not too much of a price rise), Fritsch and Henry for Gray in round 11.

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 21:21
Listed as 1 week from what I saw, maybe just a bit of tightness.

DavidSA · 14/05/2018 at 22:59
2017 per game avg
Kicks: 8.85
HBalls: 4.76
Total D: 13.61

2018 per game avg

Total D: 18.25 + 4.64
Marks: 8.75 + 3.47
R 50: 4.62 + 2.01

DavidSA · 14/05/2018 at 23:00
He is pretty much getting 4 kicks 3 marks and 2 def rebounds more per game. His efficiency is improved too
I wonder if Pittard out has helped him become the new go to guy out of defence.

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:39
Yeah noticed him a couple of weeks ago but just cant do it due to cognitive bias.

Ja191 · 14/05/2018 at 22:07
richmond supporter here. He's a gun, if he plays that +1 role down back he very well could be. Injury is an issue though

Ricardo · 14/05/2018 at 22:12
One good game in ages. Not someone I'd consider SC relevant

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:38
Nah

Mr.Brightside · 14/05/2018 at 21:33
Reverse the trade

Laird Lad Donuts · 14/05/2018 at 21:48
No I traded hurley in last week… I wish it was that simple

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 21:35
Hey Donuts, think it might be karma for having the word 'donuts' in your name, but I read on Herald Sun….
ESSENDON
INJURIES
Michael Hurley (hamstring) 1 week,
have to wait and see when the updates come this week.

Laird Lad Donuts · 14/05/2018 at 21:48
Hahaha maybe! Yea i'll just try breathe and keep calm until more news comes out, cheers rusty

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 14/05/2018 at 21:48
Cant see a string being only 1 week
2 if minor.

DavidSA · 14/05/2018 at 22:17
Far out another hammy!

Sc_Wow · 14/05/2018 at 22:55
Tex was only 1
Hoping for the same

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:38
If one week stated then perhaps two at worst? Hold and deal with other things.

Russty_ · 14/05/2018 at 21:47
Macrae's too expensive right now, I'd go Oliver and Yeo Yeo…or Simmo if you wanna save 30K, need to plan for round 14 too.

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:35
Like Oliver and Yeo personally. Agree with Rusty Simmo also possibly a must have he's ridiculously reselient and reliable year after year.

BNich · 15/05/2018 at 08:08
Cheers Rusty and Smoko!

Neverweaken · 15/05/2018 at 13:13
i was going Tmac and Oliver but with Hurley out might have to go Tmac and Yeo and get Oliver next week.

DavidSA · 14/05/2018 at 22:14
On it too, full bye rounds cover and midget price. I reckon Hinkley finally woke up and put him where he belongs. Ryder back helps too.. will see what Hinkley does with him against the B grade

Sam_01 · 15/05/2018 at 00:02
Why so many people talking about m9s surely the main goal is to just get a full premo squad on the park to start. I have murray, kelly, Spargo and fristch to go which will cost me about 600k+ and there’s not a lot of good plump rookies circulating that haven’t already been chopped. Can’t see where the cash to stuff around with rockcliff and the likes will come from

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:34
Depends on how guns and rookie people went and therefore value accumulated. Mid is definately a position you want cover as a gun always gets injured or leaves stains. 8 midfield positions on field and three bench means loopholing to get higher scores also.

DavidSA · 15/05/2018 at 09:50
Sam M9 or F7 is important if they are swing with a bench rookie who can swing too in the last 5-6 rounds.
Rocky has no swing but he has one thing that makes him valuable is he plays in all the 3 byes plus has potential to make 150k

BlueBaggerJosh · 14/05/2018 at 22:19
im picking up Yeo

DavidSA · 14/05/2018 at 22:22
Yeohemoth for me

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:31
The tempting ones are often the worst. Unproven in the past, never played a full season has burn man written all over him. If you have everything sorted elsewhere so to speak then maybe, but is there enough potential upside? Already 500K……no for me.

Beezneez · 15/05/2018 at 09:42
Ive got Yeo and am tossing up between Simmo and Webster. Webster's scores snd consistency are hard to dismiss.

DavidSA · 14/05/2018 at 22:26
Your not getting 22 prems let alone 20 with that move

Sam_01 · 14/05/2018 at 23:58
Guelfie will be back this week I reckon watch half essendons squad get dropped

Sam_01 · 15/05/2018 at 00:00
I’ve also decided to try stockpile as many viable early bye round rookies as possible port,gc,dogs,hawks,wc,blues?
The later bye rounds look a tad grim haha

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 01:26
Yeah bat sheet. Dont do it. Been plenty of rookies, and if some of the first gamers now dont get their third match for several weeks then you are in strife just to secure potentially chicken feed scores during bye rounds. Paint the fence one up one down go for the one with best JS.
Thats a poor bunch of rookies you already have.

Blueth · 14/05/2018 at 23:49
seeking out medicos to talk about your SC players.
That is next level!
Hat off to you sir.
Must get expensive

Sheeds · 15/05/2018 at 02:46
Haven’t you got any mates?

Errol · 15/05/2018 at 12:39
I really like Jimmy Webster because he leads the AFL in rebound fifties to which is really important. Hold onto savage as he is a player who doesn't play in a great defence. I think Commings has better job security because of Patton coming back.

ItYaBoi · 15/05/2018 at 12:42
I really agree with Errol so great idea with Webster and definitely Cummings

Neverweaken · 15/05/2018 at 13:11
I'm staying with Savage til R14. Which does affect whether i get Webster. Just very wary of any Saints players.

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 23:43
Keefe won't score well but should hold the his spot, maybe check who he played on and how effective they were in those two games.

Russty_ · 16/05/2018 at 02:17
Maybe wait to see if Cumming backs up his half decent score this week…64 would be a decent average for a two game Rookie, could just as easily score a 20 this week.

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 23:35
Need some defenders I reckon. Double upgrade to Simpson and Yep although I'd be trying to get Danger in too which may require a trade to phillips.
The reason I'd suggest to go with midfielder Phillips early is that he scored an 87 and plays for saints who u think would get plenty of games into him this year seeing as they are not playing finals and are obviously in a rebuilding phase.

Russty_ · 15/05/2018 at 18:07
Hi ERT, You might have to hold your back-line for now mate, as your forward line needs a bit of work, maybe try to get a few forward premos into your team soon, (one's who might have dropped in price)
Could even get Ronke in to hopefully improve your scoring, need to make some money though before you can make some big changes.

ERT · 15/05/2018 at 18:13
any suggestions who i should trade out

Russty_ · 15/05/2018 at 18:35
Maybe start with Fogarty out for Ronke, won't make you money but will improve your score, English to Philips via dpp swing with Ahern will make you some cash for next week..and play Phillips onfield instead of Spargo.

ERT · 15/05/2018 at 19:00
ed Phillips?

ToughBretts · 15/05/2018 at 19:21
I'm not sure how you got this forward line and have no money in the bank
I would do finlayson down to cumming to maximise the cash you can get from one downgrade and turn Stephenson into whichever premo you want

ERT · 15/05/2018 at 19:37
shit i made a mistake i don't have finlayson i have naughton instead my bad and i did start a couple or rounds late.

Whatyasmokin · 15/05/2018 at 23:32
Simpson

Russty_ · 16/05/2018 at 02:18
Simmo for sure!….runs on the board.
