The Jock Reynolds team are going to China!
A special themed edition of the Panic Room this week as we join in on AFL’s attempt to make footy a world game. We’ll take in the sights, the sounds, the smells, and the smog of China and see what SuperCoach lessons we can learn on the other side of the world. Is Crouching here perfecting his fly kick? Will Jock be found at Wǔtái Shān? The home of Buddhist monks seeking wisdom (thanks, Google) Can Higgo be found mentoring Chinese students at mathematics? And we dare ask the question, could Patch be a communist? Lek has spoken on his behalf.
The SuperCoach train rumbles on and we’ve got a fresh batch of annoyances to sink our trades into. Aaron Naughton is gone for 2-3 weeks after stuffing his ankle, with the Dogs having their bye in four weeks it really wouldn’t surprise me if we didn’t see him again until round 13. Buddy was another few weeks away during the week but has been named anyway? Something is a bit off there. Josh Kelly seems to have vanished off the face of the Earth, wherever he is, Toby Greene is there with him.
You know the drill by now. Patch and Lek have put on their Sunday best and hit the shops to track down some absolute bargain premiums in the podcast this week. We’ve got five confirmed debutantes this week, read up on their reserve form over at Barron’s Around the Grounds article. Captain McCaptainface has done a Charlie Dixon and resurrected itself from the dead (with the help of Patch), and Demo has delivered some more cheat sheet goodness to get around for the week ahead.

(The News)
Lachie Murphy owners rejoice! He’s back for tonights clash in one of four changes at the Crows. They’ve lost the big names of Matt Crouch, Tex Walker, and Mitch McGovern. Darcy “SnoopFog” (sorry) Fogarty gets another game. For the Dogs, Aaron Naughton will be out for the next few weeks with his foot / ankle injury.
Jacob Heron (who dis?) (DEF – 102.4k) will make his debut for the Suns, replacing Sam Day in the only change for the match against Port in China. GWS have made two changes, neither SuperCoach relevant, for their game against North who are unchanged. Essendon are playing the kids! Jordan Ridley (DEF – 123.9k) and Dylan Clarke (MID / FWD – 123.9k) will debut and Matt Guelfi has been recalled. On the other hand, out go Michael Hurley to injury, Darcy Parish has been dropped and Kobe Mutch rested. At Geelong, Tomahawk replaces an injured Esava Ratugolea (spelt it right first try!). John Longmire came and said during the week that they just don’t know when Buddy will play, in a refreshing piece of honesty he was bang on because Buddy is BACK this week along with Hanners. Sonny Walters returns for Freo along with the rebounding Nathan Wilson. Taylin Duman makes way. The Saints are giving Bailey Rice his debut (DEF – 123.9k). Pendles returns for the Pies and Alex Fasolo will line up for his first game of the year. Callum Brown is one of those unlucky to miss.
On Sunday there’s big news at the Blues with Marc Murphy fit and ready to return. Weitering is back in and there are possible debuts on the cards for Pat Kerr (FWD – 123.9k) and Matt Shaw (MID – 180.3k). Ed Curnow will miss. For the Dees, Jack Viney is one of five new names. Charlie Spargo, Bailey Fritsch, and Jeff Garlett are all on the extended bench. Out west for the top of the table clash, the Tigers have added 4 names with no confirmed outs as yet. while the Eagles are welcoming back Jeremy McGovern, Nic Nat, Dom Sheed, and Luke Shuey. Fraser McInnes is their only confirmed out. The Lions have also added 4 names without any confirmed outs. Jaegar is out for the Hawks and they’ve confirmed Mitch Lewis (FWD – 123.9l) will debut. Rookies Dave Mirra and James Worpel are on an extended bench.

平穩的凱維的本週鎖定
(Smooth Kevy’s Lock of the Week)
It’s time, folks. I tip my hat to those of you with the plums to start without Patrick Dangerfield from round 1. Is he back? He’s had two 130+ games over the last four weeks. He’s now priced at 604k after his price has plummeted almost 150k in 8 weeks. Sounds awful, but he’s still averaging 115. With a breakeven of 119 this week and a soft matchup against Essendon, you definitely want this guy in your team at the end of the year.
You could wait one more week. That breakeven is high-ish and he doesn’t have a great recent record against the Bombers, but you need to start building the war chest to get him in soon.
嘿，現在，你是一個草案星
(Hey Now, You’re a Draftstar)
I didn’t max out Patch’s credit card on business class and travel half way around the world to not watch some footy, no matter how awful it may be. The Suns are pretty useless from a Draftstars perspective, giving up the the most points per match, =1 120+ scores and outright 1st 100+ scores. For their part, Port Adelaide are the 3rd highest scorers per match.
I’ve fired up the Fantasy Insider number cruncher and this is what it has spat out.
My take:
Based on the intro above, I’ll go against what Fantasy Insider is laying down and target high scoring Port mids. This brings both Gray’s, Rocky, Polec and Ebert into consideration, even mid-tier guys like Wines and SPP. Fantasy Insider doesn’t want a bar of Robbie in this contest which is fair enough, he scored 60 twice against the Suns last year. A different role and a man in confidence, I couldn’t lock him in quick enough.
RUC
I’m going to stack the mids so Brayden Crossley at 7k is too hard to ignore. He won’t blow the roof off…uh, blow the smog out of the air, but he did score a 69 on debut. If that’s his ceiling that’s good enough for 7k. Paddy Ryder scored 115 against Witts in this fixture last year.
FWD
Sam Gray ($11.6k) is a bit all over the shop but should enjoy beating up the Suns. He had 109 vs Brisbane and 111 vs Norf earlier in the year. Jake Neade ($8.25k) has laid 17 tackles in 4 weeks. He hasn’t had a huge game as yet, but a few cheap goals will help him out. Robbie Gray ($15.1k) and Rocky ($13k) are available as forwards. Jack Watts ($10.25k) enjoyed playing the Suns while at the Dees. He has a 99 and 109 against them in his past two.
DEF
Steven May ($10.95k) buggered off to China at the right time. He’s hauled down 26 marks in 3 weeks and should see plenty of it again. Jack Bowes (8.3k) will put it all together one day and deliver, not saying he will this round but that’s a great price for his potential upside. I’ll recommend spending down in this position, there’s not a lot at the top end that is reliable.
MID
My midfield three have huge ceilings. I’ve sunk a lot of my salary into these three and I’m hoping they salute. I’m not a fan of any sub 10k mids, Charlie Ballard may be popular at 6k to help fill up with guns, but I just don’t see his upside. Lachie Weller’s ($10.8k) last 6 games have been between 72-90. Elsewhere, Touk Miller ($13.7) isn’t a bad option if you’re not keen on Rocky. He has three back-to-back 100’s to his name. Chad and SPP are available in the 10k range, although neither have shown much of a ceiling so far.
My lineup:
Have a great week, folks. Looking forward to Saturday night myself. The free-to-air coverage of Saints v Pies! *kissy fingers* … ahem
Twitter: SC_Kev7
The latest on Nank is that he will be given every chance to play , Soldo is the back up – Source – Dimma on the radio at 12
That's good
Those with nank be carful. I have good word that even if he travels he’s a big chance to be a late out. Careful with your trades if you have him, you may need them
That’s not good news
That's bad
Even if plays will be 50/50. NIC NAT will own.
who's your good word from
Missus friends partner I think Wow was saying.
Thanks Wow – figured as much I am keeping one up my sleeve, if I know in time I will be going Kreuzer for the POD. if I do not know in time i will go to Nic Nat
Hardwick saying that will make a call after training today
It's a long trip just to sit out.
Lol Are you a politician? Talk about wasting words to say nothing. 'Nank might be an out' well done Sherlock nobody saw that coming
Just advising those with nank to keep their trades.
Cheers for your input troll
*providing 'solid' supercoach advice.* all you do is act like a flog to everyone and then call others trolls, also what source did you find this news from, because ik richmond wouldn't be going around placing a big bloke in their team then telling everyone hes not playing.
Jog on
sorry forgot you had good word champ, stop wasting words, your input is sometimes (i know you might be a oblivious to this) not needed if you don't have any reliable source.
As I said I had good word. Do you even have Nank or are you just going out of your way to get upset and angry
nope I don't have nank, but I tell you now, there has been no word in the media that this has happened, so either a) you're lying or b) its not even reliable, plus if you were told this by your "source" if its firsthand news I'm sure they would not want you going around telling everyone. plus you have been like this for ages, just stop.
He’s been 50/50, I’m letting everyone know that the 50/50 statements are correct. Not sure what media outlets you are using.
Just stop looking to get upset, you’ll enjoy your days a lot more
so what you are now telling me is that you are telling everyone what has been repeated in the media in the past week, and trying to make it as your own and as your 'source'. stop being a keyboard warrior.
You’re the only one getting aggressive and acting like a warrior. And again getting mad at something you don’t need to be mad at.
not mad, just trying to think to myself how blokes like u, can ruin such a great website.
Give it a rest…
And these are the days of our lives…give the Soap Opera a rest mate, no one wants to see this crap in here, it's boring, and unnecessary.
They’re delusional
Blake Acres for who have him is out for 4 -6 weeks – groin issue
How is Lach Keeffe's Job security with GWS? hesitent to trade him in
It’s crap 💩
wouldn't say it would be great, if you can afford to not do the trade, I'd hold off
Look at the quality players on the injury list
English to Crossley?
Not sure if Crossley will make too much cash to be worth trading out again. May be worth just grabbing a loophole option.
Do you reckon he'll play during the byes? Because I'm not sure English will and ruck cover would be awesome.
Do it, take the money and run
About 170k changeover. That’s ok.
Ok guys need help. Ranked 38th overall but Nank possibility of being late out has screwed up my plans to bring danger in. Option 1) Doedee to Tuohy (he isn’t going to be a keeper, will be traded to Hurley after his bye) and Nankervis to Nit Nat. I will have 10 trades left after going to full premo so don’t worry about trades. Option 2) Doedee to Keefe (I know his JS sucks but I can link with Sicily) and Nankervis to Grundy Feel like option 2 is the safe option but bringing in two players with round 13… Read more »
Hey BVB, Nank is a Tank so don't worry too much, I reckon he'll play.
Easier said when your not ranked 38. I'd go option 2 BVB. Spewing tigers play last so you can wait and see.
Tell me about it
NANK has been in 'doubt' for 3rd week in a row. Is this the week?
Hi BV Probably should be addressing this to better placed ppl than me maybe WOW but for what it's worth I have the same problem but out of contention I am coping the doughnut .Seems pointless bringing Crossley in for 50 pts. also mucks up my looping and costs 2 trades so no to that. For yourself different storey. R13 is a huge worry One of those rookies SPARGO GUELFI ZGL NEED TO GO . As much as I like Clarke look at CHARLIE BALLARD from G C . I did a piece about him preseason .He has a huge… Read more »
I sometimes struggle to read your posts Neil! A big paragraph with LOTS OF CAPITALS.
BVB can you do some swinging and go early on Phillips? Good JS and looks the goods……
I would swing Phillips early if I could but not an option.
Will pick him up next week for sure
Hey BVB, out of those two it would be option 2 for me but have a think about Kreuzer too, I watched the Blues v Bombers game and he looked to be moving well again.
I have got the cash to double upgrade Doedee and Murray to Simpson and Yeo, but also have Nank with no cover on the bench which is concerning.
It will be too late to do anythign about Nank if he is a late out, Should i Go for Nank to Grundy and just one of Simpson or Yeo?
Other thank that team seems to have missed most of the carnage so far.
Nank to Nic Nat if required?
My friend has the exact same problem.
It depends on your ranking I reckon.
Overall trade nank, league – risk it
Even if you're going for rank I can see Simpson and Yeo score power outweighing Murray and doedee plus the donut if it happens. Also better for long run.
Yea just going for league wins at the moment. started too slow this year for ranking. I'll take the punt a keep Nank! Was hoping to set and forget rucks this year.
Cheers Fellas!
I disagree, Doedee, Murray and Nank combined ave is 251. they won't outscore that. In saying this go for Simmo and Yeo, Nank isn't even confirmed out this week, you will be spewing if you trade a players who is averaging in the 90s and he still plays. Just sit tight and hold.
100% correct. Sometimes so much goes into avoiding a donut and we end up with players on field scoring 30 points and wasting precious trades.
With Murphy and Guelfi back in, it's refreshing to see almost a full bench of playing rookies
😆
However, which is bad for loophole purposes
Doedee or Murray to Simpson?
With the other getting downgraded next week
And who has the better job security at GWS
Cumming or Keefe?
Doedee – breakeven is higher, and has scored poorly the past few weeks.
Who to play on field community?
Ed Phillips, Cofield, Spargo or Holman
Need to start 1 only, no loophole available.
Thanks.
I'd go Philips
Phillips then Holman IMO … not sure that Spargo will get a gig
Thanks Kev, Love ya work.
Community, if you had to bring in a mid this week would you go early on Phillips or go with one of the bubble boys, Ballard or Worpel?
I did
Phillips looks like a much better option than the other two, based on one game though. Might depend what your trade plans are next round.
Should Dangerfield be a priority this week?
I wanted him, but have other issues down back and need to start culling, every team is different though
His BE is 119, so even if scores 130 he won't go up that much , next week for sure as there will a few rooks on the bubble, Phillips ect
Murray or Doedee onfield?
Doedee against the Dogs I reckon
Murray. Didn't use it that well last week otherwise would have scored 80 odd. Doedee lost confidence. Apparently wet in Adelaide tonight.
Better trade naughton/finlayson or doedee to Simpson Keefe or naughton/finlayson or doedee to yeo heron?
Anyone have plans for avoiding the inevitable sub 50 cog score? Jacobs confidence sky high after taking probably the biggest scalp in Martin last week.
My plan is praying that the 5% chance Jacobs goes to Shiel actually comes true
Huge BE of 135 too. We are in some real trouble financially if Jacobs can hold him to a 70. Unless ya plan on playing cogs at M9 till seasons end then his price becomes irrelevant. Fingers crossed he goes 110+
IF Jacobs goes to cog he will not tonne up!
I’ve got a little plan for that situation
Cool story. Wanna elaborate?
I would guess he's either looping him or trading him, not too many other options available.
Option 1) paint the fence doedee > yeo & Holman > phillips 400k in the kitty
Option 2) dbl upgrade doedee > Webster & Holman > 560k premo 0k in the kitty
2. Have another look at Phillips first.
I wish E.curnow got off. Averaging 115 &. Only 1.5% of teams at $559k. Tempted to wait a week for him. Or I go the bont this week.
Bont supposedly carrying a hip injury. I rate Curnow pick.
2
Who to have on field from this miserable bunch to replace Matt Crouch please community.
Dow, Banfield or Spargo, if he makes the cut.
Dow
spargo
Thinking Danger as VC, but not sure for C. Fyfe, Oliver, Gawn or Titch.
Any thoughts.
Think Titch will bounce back this week. Even though the Lions have history of using Robinson to tag, it seems in the past few weeks they have been heavily scored against from the SC perspective. If you're looking for more of a POD, then I think Oliver an excellent choice without E Curnow there, but the reason I'm weary of captaining Gawn (the Kruezer factor) could also be the reason that limits Oliver's ceiling.
I know lachie Keefe js is bad, is it advantageous to still bring him in just to provide swing with Sicily. All my rookies are playing which is good for my cash generation
I did that trade this arvo because I have a stacked fwd line.
News out of the saints is that Rice will be the go to guy out of defence. This is great news for most as he will be a solid downgrade option. However it may effect Webster & Savage
Why would rice play this role when Webster is playing ut so well?
I think because the saints aren’t winning so something needs to change, Gilbert out is also forcing Webster to be more of a lock down. See how it plays out
Looks like I may go yeo this week instead of Webster then.
Only thing is it’s now or never on Webster. Low BE, and huge pod. Could be a game changer IF he keeps his role
Savage has been getting 70's so no real affect there. For Webster his form has been good…..can he keep it up?
To Maverick
The reason why you change a go to guy in defense is to free up the previous ones who are getting attention.
Like Wow said something needs to change. Look at Savage on footywire and tell me what you guys see that correspond with his low scores…….
Rice is a future star.
It'd be nice to have one star at the Saints in the future 🙂
Due to unfortunate circumstances (nank and naughton) I need a defensive downgrade option this week and already have keeffe
Recommend going early on Cumming or super early on rice?
Like Rice ,can play , but I will be waiting on him until or if he gets on the bubble
For the people that started Nankervis and are now panicking about him playing this week, did you pick him as a keeper or as a guy to get you pretty decent points up until his bye when you would know who the top 2 rucks are and use him to trade up?
Fair point that is why I am trading up to Brodie Boy.
To be honest, a little bit of column a, and a little bit of column b.
I thought he could be top 3-4 rucks by year's end and outside of Gawn, I didn't know who else would be up there. It's looking pretty clear that Grundy and Gawn are a cut above, so I was planning to go Nank-Grundy after the round 13 bye. Still might stick with that but I'm hanging on to my 2nd trade for the round as late as I possibly can and will decide before Sunday's games.
I have a feeling Webster is gonna score high from here but I can’t decided between him and Simpson, please convince me to choose one or the other!!
I like the POD.. Webster
Simpson
Chances of being top6 barring injuries
Simpson 90%
Webster 20%
IS Yeo a good pick
Yo
What Jack
That was a yes
yes
21 trades – 309K
Thinking 1 Trade – Naughton straight to Yeo and wait for a downgrade next week. Thoughts?
DEF: Laird, Simpson, Shaw, Doedee, Murray, Cole (Naughton, L Murphy)
MID: Fyfe, Danger, Titch, Dusty, Cogs, T Kelly, Petracca, Holman (Barry, Brayshaw, Spargo)
RUC: Gawn, NicNat (Olango)
FWD: Heeney, Maclean, Sicily, D Smith, Billings, Henry (Guelfi, Fritsch)
Your in trouble
could go naughton and doedee out and bring in yeo and ed phillips (swing sicily back and petracca fwd) would give you cash for another upgrade next week
Cannot pay more than $496K. Hurn the reliable and suits my bye or Webster the upandcommer who doesn’t suit my bye. Already have Laird, Yeo and Simmo.
Lloyd easy run coming up.
Thanks Trigga, I think you are right.
I'm keeping Doedee instead of Murray. Proven ability to ton up.
Finlayson and Murray out. Simpson and Yeo in.
Thank you Murphy for letting me keep Naughton another week! Couple defensive rookie options on the horizon.
Wet weather in adelaide. Doedee score well wit intercept marks. Be careful with that.
How did you miss Ronke with a b.e of -57 in your free yogurt bit?
He generally sticks to blokes below $200k even if they are rookies
Pyke on radio took note that WB are n.o1 in clearances and Crows are undermanned so expect the Crows to do something they rarely do and that's tag, most likely Macrae. Even so weather here is sh*t
They did a decent job on Cripps and let up once the game was over
tonight's gonna be an ugly arm wrestle
I'd say the first couple quarters the dogs will show resistance and scores will be tight then the crows will tear them to shreds towards the end
I'm hoping they win by 4 goals or more. Even with the outs they are still better than the Bulldogs..
Let’s hope he gets tagged. If he does well I’ll take my hat off to him.
Thoughts on Kane Lambert. Very tempted as a POD….
Too expensive now
mirra in
Hurley? Trade or Hold? I have 22 trades 3 and 3 in my mini league and after a win this round in an 8 point game.
Team
D Laird Yeo Dodee Murray Richards Duman Murphy Hurley
C Fyfe Dusty M Crouch Mitchell Crips Danger Petracca T.Kelly Coffield Banfield Spargo
R Gawn Goldstein Olango
F Dalihaus Sicily Heeney Smith Christensen Henney Fritsch Guelfi
Trade.or Hold?.
No need to trade Hurley. Maybe trade naughton for coverage
Thanks but I already have. Maybe Dodee and Banfield to Phillips and a gun defender or switch Sicily and Petracca and get McCrae? and make him VC as my opponent doesnt have him? Or i could get buddy as my opponent has him.
Mirra Mirra on the Wall, who’s the fairest of them all!!!
Dopey Clarkson should never had dropped him. At least Clarkson realised his mistake.
Dopey Clarkson that has coached the most successful club in the last decade?
You can't be serious
I heard he likes to give Gil a good old reach around.
Billings???
Thoughts on option
a) Naughton to Keeffe, O'Meara to Oliver
or
b) O'Meara to Ed Phillips, Naughton to Yeo
?
B- Keeffe doesn't have the greatest JS, Phillips should play more therefore generating more cash
English > Crossley
Finlayson > Yeo
Who has the better JS out of Keefe, Cumming and Eagles?
All don't have the greatest JS, maybe Eagles but Cumming will score better.
Pick 3 out of Finlayson, Mirra, Murphy, Fritsch, Guelfi, Keefe, Henry (Can swing Sicily with Keefe so no more than 2 in either line)
Also Holman, Phillips or Spargo in the midfield.
Can't do any loopholes so need to pick the right ones.
Cheers community
Finlayson, Fritsch, Guelfi.
Phillips.
Cheers, I feel like this will be touch to get right and I will have someone get a huge score on the bench.
Leaning to those picks though
Kade Simpson or Jake Lloyd? Don't care about the byes.
Simpson
Lloyd is tempting me with his soft run and that he is younger.
Caught the last bit of Hardwick’s interview and also saw that Nank trained (A little). It looks like he might play, however I will leave it as late as possible before I trade to Grundy.
Anyone else have any news?
Currently ranked 23 and very concerned with the possibility of Nank being a late out as I will then be looking at a 0 with Olango on the bench. Finlayson-Phillips is already locked in and I am now thinking of trading Nank to Grundy. I had originally planned to trade Nank to Ryder/Grundy during the byes but might have to do the trade now. Thoughts on if I should pull the trigger or not?
Pull the trigger, I did it last week to Grundy , no more worrying about Nank, he's been a great servant but the weekly in or out is a disruption each week, do it and move on.
By the way , nice rank Brock , Cheers mate
Thanks, I will probably just wait until Saturday night to see if any news on Nank surfaces.
Stacy???
I’m up against you in the last minute rags this week
Yep that's me. Should be a tight contest.
Good luck, Hurley out hurts but hopefully I can keep it close
I'm the foundation of that League Wow…holding everyone else up from the bottom hahaha, we're still ranked 75th though! 🙂
Nanks had the top rucks so far, after this week it eases up, should play him out till Grundys returns from bye
Ive got all 30 players playing this week so no loophole option.
Safe bet throwing the captain choice on Macrae?
It's wet there Shane so could be tough getting a handle on the ball tonight.
Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully Gawn can do the job again.
No worries, Gawny's up against Kreuzer though…could affect his score.
Do u have Oliver? His my VC. Should have a field day v Carlton
Yeah mate, have the C on Tony Olango at the moment,with the VC on Danger, but Oliver's definitely in my thoughts for the big C.
I’m newish to SC Russty. I think I understand the VC loophole but why have the C on Olango so early? I do that if say, Danger does well as VC and then I put Put the C on Olango with Gawn on the bench with the E to get Dangers score as C
Yeah good question Julianne, I just do that if I know I'll be around to attend to it if Danger gets a big score, if for example, you were going to have a life this weekend and not be able to log on and attend to it, then just set your VC and C. If Danger gets 130+, obviously I'll leave the C on Olango, or if Danger doesn't do well, I'll bring my main Ruckman onto the field and C someone else. Sometimes, you can fool your opponents into thinking they're going to get an easy win too, but… Read more »
Alright i have calmed down a bit now.
Slept on it.
Crouch out really basted my clams.
Reconsidering rocky as has bye next week
Might have another look this week and if role changed bring him in after his bye.
Reckon will go off against GC but.
Can go doodee – yeo with a lazy $1k to spare.
Would put phillips on ground but he goes alright yeah?
Rocky this week?! Did you lose ya sh!t at some point Trigga?
After the bye maybe but not this week mate.
Yeo or Simmo are decent picks this week. Not seen Phillips but I'm having to bring him in early too, I don't fancy Worpel or Ballard.
Yep last night
Went on a crouch rant🙈
Hehe…easily done mate, I have him too. Just got Walters and DogDog back and then lose Crouch, don't think I've fielded a full strength team more than once or twice yet.
You're going well in the ranks, stick to ya plans.
Same Ranger. Have had at least a player out EVERY week. Grrrrrrf.
Except for my first two weeks when I had 2350+ both weeks.
Have not been in the 2300’s since.
Hey Trigga. Just chill on Rockliff. I know he is cheap as chips, but he is another break down candidate like Crouch. Don't jump out of one fire and into another one. How long is Crouch for anyway? Doedee to Yeo is solid mate. I am going Henry to Keeffe to raise some quick cash and put my Sicily swing in place and then Naughton straight up to Yeo. The prick wont be back until after his bye and has a BE of 100. Easy decision. Good luck this round mate.
No way should you be trading Crouch trigga mate. One week – out for General Soreness. If he comes back and puts out 110 next week you'll be spewingg.
Was never gonna trade crouch but to cover was holman to rocky
But now think doodee to yeo
Where is the General? Not seen him around for a while.
Have Duman & Naugton on the pine eating donuts 🍩
22 trades & $80k. Hence…
1. Doedee & Holman to Yeo & Ed Philips
2. Naughton & Holman to Simpson & Phillips
Suggestions?
Looks wet in Adelaide, perhaps Option 1. ⏱
BILLINGS AND PETRACCA. CAN YOU BOTH PLEASE GET ME 80 EACH THIS WEEK . IF CHRIS MAYNE CAN TON UP SURELY YOU 2 CAN GET ME 80 MEASLY POINTS
PLEEAASSE BE KIND
I RECKON BILLINGS AND PETRACCA WILL GET YOU 100 THIS WEEK FOR SURE Mike…50 each 🙂
I agree
Agreed their both arseholes
Field spargo or guelfi??
Backing Guelfi for a 60+
Against geelong im not so sure. Really got no idea. Whichever one i pick will get a 30
I'd go Guelfi Jake, he's been pretty consistent in his 3 games so far. Spargo had that poxy 49 last week which is a bit of a worry.
Who do I field (no loop)
Coffield, Murphy or Mirra
Holman or Phillips
No Frawley this week. Mirra will have a key role and will do good
Would you go as far as to field him over Finlayson or Guelfi Derek?
Agree with Derek, Mirra could have a good one this week, and with something to prove, clawing his way back into the squad.
I’m going to say left field on Coffield under the roof against the pies I think they are a sneaky chance to pull off a win and think Coffield will benefit
Doedee or Murray – Keefe or not worth it this week.
Pulling my hair out on whether to get yeo, Webster or Simpson? I like Webster but wow says rice may get his role… that makes me nervous. Any advice ? 20 min to dece
Yeo for me, though I have 2 x bench donuts so a bit nervous.
As do I, naughton and Hurley on my bench 🙁 I am leaning toward yeo better bye also
I just selected Yeo. Naughton OUT- Yeo IN.
YO!
Yup I went Webster 7:49pm I got nervous palms were sweaty eating Mums spaghetti panicked n went Webster purely on price and avg. but knew I wanted yeo!
Pretty sure that might turn out to be a mistake but good luck I hope it works out for you
Yeo also mate more mid time (although I have never selected him before) def is rubbish Simmo keeps proving us wrong but I always hesitate on a 34 year old
I doubt that the saints would put a 1st gamer into Websters role, unless Webster goes to pure onball in the equation
Who to field?
– Petracca or Spargo
– 3 of Henry, Fritsch, Giles-Langdon, Guelfi, Billings
Petracca,Henry, Fritsch, Billings
Yep I’m with Finny
Field Guelfi, Fritsch or Henry?
Fritsch.
Holman to Phillips!
A week early but I feel his JS is pretty good!
Allows me to drop finlayson next week and naughton if he returns otherwise I ca do brayshaw up to my finAl premo mid
Mclean VC as Barry is my only loophole. In the wet hopefully gets plenty of hard footy and makes heaps of tackles.
It's a shame every ground doesn't have a cover over it these days, with all the money in the AFL now and all, these kind of washed out flood festivals are just a waste of time really…why not get a bloody roof on every ground and then everyone enjoys the Footy, all the time?
Unbelievable also, that the W.A Government just paid out all that money for a million dollar L.E.D light show at the new Optus Stadium but didn't think a roof was necessary?
Rant over. 🙂
Supercoach aside I love watching wet weather footy
Na winter sport Russty, hope it starts hailing.
Fine…be that way, you two old school bastards!…hahahaha
I am with you bring on the wet
Too busy to be looking for new pass times Bob, trying to crack a single figure handicap at the moment, never got into crocheting, can roll a mean ole doob though , does that count as a craft?
Yep that's crafty
So I’m just chucking Naughton and O’Meara on the bench as I just have no idea this week and running with the do nothing rather than cock it up rule.
Completely forgot about the rain tonight. I've got Murphy onfield for 1 point at qt time, while Ed Richards is on the pine with 31. Looking like a big waste already
He's actually 0 Greendale. Fanfooty add 1 point at the start to every player
Thanks for the good news 🙁
I didn’t know greendale had a Footy club?
I didn't have a choice as Hurley is injured and Duman didn't get a game.
Great start to the round. Completely screwed up my attempt to loophole in defence. Have Hurley and Mirra infield. Murphy with the E and Richards with nothing. Will not be able to catch his score. Of course he is tearing it up! And I have to carry Murphy’s score. For someone who spends way too much time thinking about and looking at SC, that really is a stupid rookie error.
Far out Jack Macrae is deadset supercoach superman this season
Macrae has just brushed Gibson off like one of those little annoying bush flies. Fark off you little sh-t!! 48 SC at 1/4 time.
Macrae "too expensive". Almost hit his be at quarter time.
Meanwhile fielding Murphy over Mirra looking like a shocker.
Held Doedee, vc'd Macrae, own Laird, fielded Mirra over Murphy, might actually have a good round lol
only the second quarter on Friday night Josh – wouldn't get too brash and anger the SC gods…
Hahaha you gotta crow before they get ya eventually
Oops, trialled a few trades this arvo and then forgot about them. Ah well, Doedee out instead of Finlayson now, bet the Dood tons up.
Crouch was the plan this week, then he went down so obviously I think Macrae, but he’s never going to continue his recent form and 676k, what a joke.
47 pts at quarter time, Tom Mitchell, you have some serious scoring to do this week.
74 pts halfway through the 2nd. Think I’ll trade out Gawn and Fyfe next week so I can afford the bastard.
Hahahahhaah Jacobs 14 ho for -3 supercoach score
FML! Why do i have Macrae vc every week and change it every week to someone else. Grrrrr! Should back my instinct not the 'he will be tagged blah blah blah'
Same here mate thinking it was going to be to wet to have a real impact score for vc
Me too Gator.
Be happy you have him
Wait until I put the vc on him next week…that should fix his run.
If I had macrae I’d be vc him every week in this form. Remember it’s only the vc so you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.
45 perfect tog for Murphy you had to get injured didn't you hurley
Well so much for my prediction Doedee would struggle to score tonight in the wet as he relies heavily on intercept marks. 44 points early in the 2nd and only 1 mark.
Same here Holty. Traded him out too. 🙄
I'll never listen to you again Holty…nah just kidding, every game is a crapshoot mate.
One of many I suspect that traded out Doedee to Yeo. On a wet track he is still looking like getting his BE. The SC Gods must be having a good laugh.
can macrae please flower off
5 kicks 11 handballs for 80?
11 contested poz, 7 tackles, 4 clearances they all add up Trigga
Sure do but 80?
You normally have to have a blinder for an 80 half.
He is playing well but not a blinder
Seriously losing faith in SuperCoach scoring.
Yeah in a team that's getting flogged on the scoreboard 130 at 3/4 time is hugely suprising
It's only a half of footy!!! So if someone ends up with 32 possessions (22 of them contested) and 14 tackles you wouldn't call that a blinder? Harsh judges fellas. My advice trade him in and enjoy!
I said Crows will most probably tag Macrae "stands in front of tv cracking his heayah whip!"
If he is getting tagged Dave, that tagger's a real pile of sheissen, 🙂
I think the lady bug no one sees on the blade of grass in the centre squar is on him
Geez velvet fog is a big unit
And yes folks it really is that wet.
What's cumming js like need to go early on him because I want to trade out either murray or finlayson luckily I held doedee but he is my E
Doedee 50 at half time is generous
What's the maximum ownership% a player can have and still be considered a POD?
I thought maybe 20%?
Reckon it's closer to 6-7% Bob. 3 to 5000 owners.
That's very low. I've only got 4 players with less than 7% ownership and one is a stepping stone
10% for me Bob
Yeah same 10%
I've only got 5 players with less than 10% ownership and two of them are stepping stones. Makes me wonder how i can be scoring so far above average over the past 4-weeks and why my team is valued at 12.7mil significantly above average
A pod is only a pod if your cash league opponents don't have them
A POD is only relevant if they're scoring above a non-POD. This is why if you're doing well, you probably don't have that many PODs – if someone is scoring really well, most coaches try to get him as soon as possible. Ideally, you started with those PODs, then everyone else brings them in later (at a heftier cost and having missed out on their earlier points).
Jackson Macrae in unstoppable form at present. 86 at half time. So much for being an outside player. He’s been in everything. Looks very bloody hard to tag as well given he’s good on the inside and outside.A must have this year I think.
Not sure how I’m going to afford him. Well done to those whom started with him.
He looks like Pendles in his prime Rocksta.
So clean.
Wish I would've started him this year, he had a good year last year, now he's pretty unaffordable.
yup can't grab him before this game and definately gonski now for us who don't have him
You can squeeze a 600k inclusion but 670k was too much now he will be 700k crazy!
That's exactly why I took the gamble on Jack Steven as M7. so that I could upgrade to the best mid at bye time for less than 200k. I need Danger and Macrae but steven and Kelly make the upgrades easy. Mid pricers are gold
Outside players usually do very well in wet conditions due to the ball 'squirting' out of almost every ground ball contest. If you're an outsider that's what you spend your life looking for. In the wet Hard-ball getters suffer in SC due to the close contest and smothered disposals gutting their d.e. despite them being the only reason that the outsiders get the ball most of the time.
Interesting. Most people crow about the scenario of outside players not going to perform well in the wet
Macrae has hit the ton 16 minutes to go in the 3rd folks
Macraezy
Macrae has literally scored 27 points 10 minutes (out of 30) into the quarter, WOW
Desrvingly as well. Bloke is in absolutely everything.
So um how do I get Macrae?
As soon as you get him, he'll start scoring crappishly, guaranteed!
I keep saying the same thing every week. I can’t afford him yet anyway basically if he keeps it up all year I’ll look at him before finals.
has a date with ben jacobs in rd 14
That probably won't even stop him…Top scorer and Brownlow..maybe?
Put a last $20 on him at $21, he’s into $10. Aside from Fyfe he’d have to be the front runner. The usual suspects haven’t played well this year. Dusty 2 or 3 great games, danger 1 or 2.
Titch is up there I reckon
Champion data bloke has Macrae simple.
I reckon your onto something Sixty they say he’s had all these disposals but I haven’t noticed him although I am half blind
I mean I don't notice Danger at all and don't think his points are deserved this year. Champion data are correct probably or wrong on lots of players
It's ridiculous that they can rate him that high in a team that is getting embarrassed at every contest by Adelaide's 2nds. He's 160 and no Crow 100+
Not to mention every time he puts a finger on another bloke he gets rewarded with a tackle
😀
Maybe it's the tight shorts and moose-knuckle
A bit like Bont last year.
I own Macrae and I'm happy. 25 CP's = 100 points 13 tackles = 52 points 2 frees for = 8 points 1 contested mark = 6 points 1 mark = 2 points 0 clangers = 0 points that's 168 points right there accounting for no effective disposals. He scored 177 and had 36 disposals (12 kicks's, 24 hb's) at 72 % efficiency so it's funny he got another 9 points. compare that to Greenwood who scored 112 19 contested possessions = 76 points 1 contested mark = 6 points 1 mark = 2 points 11 tackles = 44 points… Read more »
Doesn't make sense for CD guys with binoculars at games to rig the stats for coaches and the AFL btw ahhaha
None of the 'experts' had him in their votes for the game and neither would I. Not saying he didn't play well but his score just shows how misleading this system of awarding and gathering statistics can be. I watch Dangerfield's scoring sometimes and just wonder where all the points come from. Some players are suited to Supercoach others not so. Based on Macraes game last night, Robbie Gray should have scored 300 points in last weeks game.
Totally agree with you Sixty6.
Sure he played well but 177 you have got to be kidding me.
It's a joke. Watched his points and possessions closely and he just gets gifted ridiculous points. The fact he had zero clangers when he kicked it to a crows player in the 3rd…..his points still went up. Did well for the whole game to not get clangers but seriously……not even GOD in his prime was scoring this well.
Joke!
Hey just wondering why my comment was deleted by admin. I didn't say anything rude and wasn't trolling. Ill see if I can put it up again. Might be a glich
Disagree. I watched the game close too. McCrazy played a blinder. I even think they missed a couple of pozzies. It was he vs Adelaide. Almost all his offloads went to dog players and he cant help if it they muff it up after. His pressure, tackling, contested work was up their with the best. It was one of the better performances I've seen since Ablett in his hey day. Like I said I think they missed a couple, there were instances where he was underneath 40 Adelaide players (yes exaggeration ;P) and squeezed a magical pass out into the… Read more »
Admin delete this comment it’s rude
Admin delete Wows comment, he used the rude word. 🙂
It's not a clanger if you kick it to the opposition, it's a clanger if you turn it over and you kick it to less than a 50/50 contest over 40m away or to a contest within 40m. They don't punish you for your teammate not being able to take the mark.
Are you serious? It's not a clanger if you kick it to the opposition……that is the definition of a clanger. Kicking straight to the opposition is turnover therefore CLANGER.
It's like saying oh you only kicked it 20 meters to the opposition who then kicked a goal so no clang. Haha
I don't make the rules, champion data do.
It's an effective disposal if you kick it 40+m to a 50/50 contest or better for your team, regardless of the outcome. Less than 40m it's not an effective disposals if you kick it to a contest, even if your player ends up with the ball. You can find this info out if you do some digging.
4 sure
Someone sounds a bit salty. Wouldn't be crying if you owner him. We'd never hear the end of how brilliantly astute you are….
I for one would definitely not be crying if I had him. I’d still also be able to admit he didn’t deserve that score last night though
Huge quarter from Murphy keep going son
Jack Macrae deadset not human, 4 roundd average of 165
might add to that next week against collingwood notable for letting star midfielders loose.
Doedee just made his BE, Yes, you bloody beauty, I told anybody who would listen to keep him for now.
Traded Finlayson this week. Kinda hoping he has a shocker.
I kept them both, they will both have to go in the end, but for now they are getting games and are good cover for injures. I don't mind Finlayson dpp either.
But some of the 'most likey' defender keepers will increase in price by significantly more than he does so, it will be a lot harder to upgrade despite his good score.
I agree with what you are saying Bob, but at the time I was arguing that you were better off keeping Doedee and Finlayson, for now, since they were playing, than Naughton or Duman who weren't. My team has had so many injures that I prefer to have players that are playing compared to not.
Definitely, I agree 100% with that qualification John. Anybody who trades out a playing rook instead of an injured rook needs to take a good hard look at themselves.
They were trading out Doedee and Finlayson because of their high BE which was fair enough in isolation, but when they said they would be putting Naughton on the bench because he wouldn't be going down in value, ie injured, I said but his BE is 100 so you will have to trade him out anyway and you won't have any cover, but they weren't worried,only about the $, I said sometimes having cover for injures is more important than a few dollars more.
I kept both Doedee and Finlayson, traded out Naughton for Yeo, had to since I had Hurley injured and Duman not playing.
I went Doedee to Yeo so I'm happy.
Seedsman is turning into a great midpricer who might be kept as bench cover on 2 lines or easily upgraded to top 10 Mid. Well done to all who started him. 14th ranked def for total points increased by almost 150k after this round
Who else held Doedee and flicked Finlayson/Murray?
yep, flicked finlayson for webster
Kept all three, traded out Naughton.
Naughton and Finlayson to Yeo and Simmo
Naughton > Yeo for me.
All gone from my team last 2 weeks
You must be doing well then Holty, close to full premo in defence ?
Nope flicked Doedee and McNaughton for Webster. Hoping he performs.
So Eddie Betts had less than half the influence of Jack Macrae in that match….? Interesting…
Macrae played a lot better for supercoach scoring than Betts did if that's what you're getting at.
Apparently so BB… I think some things are in the eye of the beholder however… there's some real love from CD for Macrae
13 tackles is 52 points alone.
36 touches with 25 of those contested.
10 clearances and 2 frees for
0 clangers
Beast of a game, but was it worth as much as he scored?
Loose shorts no moose-knuckle who scored 2-points less than entire dogs team V. tight shorts probable moose-knuckle who didn't bother the scoreboard at all.
I'm not saying that the champion data bloke is gay but ne's probably the best mate of somebody called Mr Pink or something equally effeminate. OR a girl. 🙂
Can take one of Simpson, t mac, darling or Webster. Have 503k to spend on a fwd or def
Which one or anyone else
??
Simmo prob the safest option Murray.
Gee people who dont have MaCrae are stuffed! Wont drop in price for ages…
Going to be hard for them to get him in atm
Yep the one who got away
He goes alright.
Love to have that kelly to dusty trade again.
Just gotta put faith in the rest of the team getting the job done and making up the difference.
He's a must have if you want to have a crack at weekly or total top score. Rookies have been great for cash, we should all be able to afford him at 720k. trade your M7 to him it's a 60 point upgrade
Opponents all have The VC on him – its an uphill battle already!
Yep I’m feeling flat for not jumping on 2 weeks back. Could be costly
I am 660 points off the lead. I started Zerrett instead of Macrae. That’s 440 points right there. Did I contemplate Macrae over Zerrett? Only because a few mentioned him pre-season. But I had Treloar and Bont ahead of him. But one selection like that can really make your season. Full kudos to those who started him.
If only he kept his dpp, would have been first picked in the fwd line.
Zerrett will become him next week.
My current SC Gold prediction is 2501 (416 from 4). I've never had a 2500+ predicted score before the byes ever. I'm pretty stoked and hope that everybody else is predicted for 1900. I need the 1k
I need $50K . I am not here for the bronze or silver…….I am here for the gold!!!
Punch him in the balls and I'm taller than Sam Jacobs – 54 hit outs and 47 SC points, is this some sort of infamous record?
I don’t have Macrae; is it time to quit? I brought in Danger this week so I’m praying for a 150 plus game
Was $400 short of bringing in MacRae and McLean last week. Chose McLean saved the cash and took Danger this week so I know how you feel. Will have to wait a few weeks on MacRae I reckon, maybe he gets injured soon instead?
ouch that mustve hurt should have weaved money to get the pig
Anyone remember the supercoach guide from a few years ago? It listed POD as any player with less than 10% ownership.
I have Oliver and Nank.
114+118 tackles for both teams = total 232 * 4 = 928 points in SC just from tackles amazing wow
Thoughts on Nank to Kruezer regardless of Nank playing or not
Not sold on Kruez, if you were going to trade Nank I'd only go to Grundy. Gawn/Grundy the dream combo for this year.
I don't have the cash
Why not wait to see if he plays or not, if he doesn't trade to NicNat.
If someone said to you at the start of the season that you would be able to trade Nank to Kreuzer and pocket cash, you would say thanks very much. Right now Kreuzer is a good chance to be number 3 behind Gawn and Grundy. Is it worth the extra 150k to go Grundy? Not sure on that. Kreuzer fits my bye structure better than Grundy (Grundy has same bye as Gawn). Kreuzer also a better bye than Nank. I understand the hesitation on Kreuzer, but he was awesome last season and seemed to hit that form last week. A… Read more »
Take Murphy’s 51 or bank on keeffe??
I'm going Keefe. Should get around the same or more
Holding my second trade this week for in case Nank is a late out. Would be trading to NicNat if that happens. Would love to grab Grundy, and have the cash but big issue is I believe him and Gawn have the same bye! Might just save the rest of the piggy for a Robbie Gray upgrade after his bye
I’ve risked the donut after he got through training last night to protect my trading strategy .. traded Bont in instead.., happy with that !!
M. Crouch over Macrae really really starting to hurt now – has now cost me 240 points (pending a 50 from Holman)…
However, much like Dangerfield last few years I can't help but question how Macrae is getting these points (ie. compared to others games not nearly getting same points)??
I’ve seen comments by a few people Connor regarding Macrae getting easy points. I don’t agree with it, I must say. I only watched the first half and he was in everything. The boy can definitely play.
Has been one of my favourite players to watch for the past few years, just disagree with Champion Data sometimes
I took Crouch for value over Macrae last week. It hurts
Nanks on the plane, no late outs. He trained, side unchanged.
Do I take Macrae's 177 or do I captain Ronke? Macrae's game was a good but it wasn't a 15 tackle 10 goals 200 point game that is 97.7% inevitable by the Ronke today.
177 is ok, but that 2.3% chance from Ronke worries me.
I’ve heard a lot of talk about Billings this week. I think he’s your go to man.
take murphys 51 or go appleby (57, 59, 60)
Appleby
Appleby
Appleby
Guelfi or Spargo???
Appleby and goofy
Guelfi
Spargo for mine
Murphy's 51 or Keeffe?
Glad I held Doedee. In my humble opinion I think people were too quick to ditch him. Understand, many are close to full premium and he must go soon but also believe he has very close been the best rookie (not much between him & Kelly which I'll explain) Kelly is averaging 100~ odd, Doedee 80-85 odd Who is the best midfielder & forward you don't have, let's say Danger & Yeo. Danger is averaging 115 (with huge upside) Yeo is averaging 100 odd. The difference is nothing. BTW, I could have said Macrae instead of Danger which would have… Read more »
I think it's more the cash generation yes he scored well but essentially he just broke even and his BE won't be low enough next week to make an amazing amount of cash. I've personally kept him as I'm more likely to get rid of finlayson before the gws game but it seems like doedee has hit peak price and moving him on for a yeo or simmo would of been a good move
I think I'll keep him to his bye round now Ahmad, the way I see it he keeps his 80 average going he will be pushing 400k by bye rounds. He has a late bye to so easy upgrade to anyone.
Hi Jack. Yes he scored well but his purpose in your team is to generate quick money to get to full premo as quick as possible. He has stopped making you money and if you are relying on him making more, you will need to hope he scores really well next week as well to start generating you cash again. Plus you cant compare him with Kelly as he is still making you good money. I traded Doedee this week with Naughton to get Keefe and Simpson. Yes i missed Doedees score but ill be far better off in the… Read more »
Not really, he only needs a 75 odd next week and he'll be making cash again, and its defence, also many rookies need culling and he is still getting large amounts of TOG which shows me (vs someone like Finlayson at least with reduced TOG) that he's not going to be managed and is handling the demands of the game. You are right about the Kelly comparison although a player of his value throws one stinker and they can bleed significantly, which is possibly happening as we speak. Plus another gun midfieldervallows a purchase of a must have and possible… Read more »
Yep for sure, I reckon hes more a comparison for Finlayson, and ive seen the question asked a bit of who to dump first. Three round average is 62 Finlay 69 Doedee so it makes sense to keep him. Plus as you say defence is some where you can get away with that scoring compared to a midfielder. As midfieldees can hit sc match winning high scores whilst also opening up possibilities of another captain option.
Logic is sound. At the same time debatable.
Jack Macrae. Oh my lord…………Went into last night's game with a BE of 62 and a price tag of $676,400. He comes out and pumps another insane 177SC. Not sure what his BE will be, but I guess it would be around 50 AFTER another mega price rise. Would not be surprised if his price next week will be around $730K. And the week after? Scary to think. I don't have him and I think he aint coming into my side until well after the byes. Such is life………Just gotta build my team to max power without him and then… Read more »
I have to admit I got that one wrong.
I knew he was good, but last night he was on another level.
In fact I thought he deserved more pts.
No way! I think he got lucky to receive that much, a bunch of tackles awarded to him that were boarderline, and it seemed everyone of his handballs were getting +6 points
Not having either Macrae or McLean and just traded out Doedee this week, I was forced to watch the game from behind the sofa. I do hate wishing for someone to do poorly, very exhausting.
I switch to Sienfeld re-runs at 3/4 time
That makes two of us mate. I have to now seriously consider paying top dollar and possibly removing Zach Merrett from my team next week. He is just that good. Merrett has been under whelming and being a sideways move, getting Macrae is almost like an upgrade in all reality. Do you know what he will be worth next week? My guess is around $735K. If he is much more than that, then upgrading to him from Merrett may be out of reach even then. Got $270K after I dump Crowden for Phillips next week and then Zerrett to Macrae.… Read more »
How far back will that set you though hawk. Every other line will suffer
Most lines are progressing well. Plenty of cash generation as all rookies currently playing, but you are right, I will have to assess if it is in fact do-able without it throwing everything else out of whack. But by god, I will be trying to get him in as he will be close to $800K the following week the way he is going.
Too expensive to bring in now I think
wow is right on this one .Ronke deserved more last week with 7 goals compare that to macrae
3 weeks ago i was left a decision to make, Danger or JMac, praise the supercoach gods i made the right call!
Magnificient. Seasons are set up with decisions like that. Great stuff.
Hey guys, any idea what Jack Macrae's new price will be next week and his new BE? Working on a plan to try and get him in………..
Hey TopH. I reckon it will be up around $715k. Crazy expensive. But then again, we got Danger at that price early on. I’m tempted to chase his points & can’t believe his run of form. Just hoping Danger goes big this week. Are you tempted on Macrae also?
Uneducated guess on BE – 155
Correction SORRY – BE 55.
According to TooSerious, his price will be $722,777 after this round. Their salary calculator is normally pretty accurate.
How on earth does one get a guy at 720K lol even using Kelly 450k after this round that's a lot of coin to find in a paint the fence move.
Its scary how well he has scored in the last month. Still dont understand how he scored 177 last night but he was deserving of the best score in the game. Im sticking to my structure however. He may slot in to my side later in the season but bringing him in now will put me back several weeks trying to get to full premo.
The horse has bolted……………………………for now
I agree, but we've all woken up too late. Best strategy I think is to continue upgrading and your still gaining points anyway but keeping in mind a plan to get him later. At some point he has to drop away in price.
Good luck this week Hawk in my league! Ill be happy with just a pt win!
Hey Shaker,
I’m up against you in The Rat Pack league.
Hopefull of some good scores Lazza. But youll win that one!
Thanks Shake! Time for round 2!
Round 2 for us this week too TH.
Bring it on. Time to turn the tables!
Need some thoughts on plan below for next weeks:
This week…
Out: Finlayson Stephenson
In: Keefe Ronke
Next week:
Out: Murray Holman
In: Cumming Phillips
I guess what I’m asking is regarding job security for Keeffe and Cumming as well as if its too late for Ronke
Why are you double downgrading both weeks?
Building war chest for byes I guess
Plan to bring in Gray in two weeks and maybe Simpson in a couple also
Not sure what to do in middle have Zerrett and Crouch and Kelly as only ones I’m not happy with. But no Oliver Macrae or Dusty
Its definitely too late for Ronke manolaki. He's now going to gain the attention of every clubs defence because of his 7 last week, and 200k+ is too much to pay for a rookie.
Good point. I wanted to take out Stephenson and make some cash for upgrades but I can’t see any other forwards worth bringing in
if you have sicily keefe is worth it for the switch especially if you are going for league (his js isnt that good). Missed the boat on ronke, too late. Could go one up one down this week and possibly a double down next and build the war chest for the byes.
Yeh I have Sicily already. Not sure who to go up to this week. Not liking much to be honest
Where are the upgrades?
Wanted to build war chest and then go Fritsch to Gray, Doedee to Simpson and maybe a mid to Macrae Oliver or Dusty
Team looks like
Laird Yeo Hibberd Sicily Doedee Finlayson (Murray Richards)
Danger Titch Fyfe Cripps Coniglio Zerrett Crouch Kelly (Holman Barry Spargo)
Gawn NickNat (Cameron)
Heeney Petracca McLean Smith Higgins Stephenson (Fritsch Guelfi)
Thoughts?
Could go finlayson out Simpson in
Stephenson out (swing spargo fwd) ed Phillips in
Not too early for Phillips? What about Keeffe?
Ronche can still make you good money, more than a lot of other rookies and he is a tackler, well worth the trade if he suits your structure ie byes , can still make you 150000 in the short term
Charlie curnow out this week! boy is this a rough season
I might no my have Macrea in my team but I’m 1/1 in perfect 9.
I was at the game and no way he stuck the tackles given to him 9 at most I personally think it was 8 solid tackles
Yep with you on that one
hey there wowzer, i am amazed you are so high without mcrae fair effort
Just imagine him starting MacRae over Dusty. He'd probably be #1
what language is that no comprendo
Geeeez you know you’ve messed up when your grammar gets criticism from Neil <img draggable="false" class="emoji" alt="😉" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.4/svg/1f609.svg">
I took McLean, went Waite in game two tho, lookin good.
Is Nank going to play?
I can go straight to Grundy and will have $0 bank left.
Currently 19 trades remain, 5 from full premo.
Strong chance of being a late out tomorrow. Keep a trade ready.
Do it now, you can’t wait until tomorrow because Collingwood play tonight. No doubt you were going to upgrade Nank, who has been serviceable but real risk of a late out tomorrow then all you could do would be swap with Nit Nat, which I was tempted to do.
what are people thoughts on cumming JS and lobb scoring potential?
Lobb i started with which was silly considering the interrupted preseason he had. But Lobb fully fit is a keeper in my opinion. He is very good with hitouts to advantage. Question will be if he can stay on the park for the rest of the season
thanks for the reply just brought him in for brayshaw via coffield and sicily dpp
