THE CHEAT SHEET Round 13
Hey look! More teams that we can select players from without worrying about the bye! Hooray!
Now listen, I know I have made an arse of myself in some of these little blurbs, but please forgive me. I had to conjure this up in no time flat before the AFL has decided that Thursdaynight games are good for…what are they good for…oh yes, TV ratings.
The AFL love their TV ratings, but that rant is for another time perhaps.
Moving on from that, I caution you against Ollie Wines because he scored 142 without you, and you’re not going to get it back. You can try but I’m pretty sure it left with my sanity. Except my sanity left a long time ago. Who am I? Nobody knows anymore. Where am I? I wish I knew.
I’m losing my mind, because these bye rounds are hard.
They’ve done studies, you know. 60% of the time, we forget about Ed Curnow every time, and we shouldn’t do that because he is going very well this year and is on track to be a top 10 midfielder.
Matthew Kreuzer is back and going beautifully for the Blues after a bumpy start, and Hawthorn forward Jack Gunston is as reliable as ever for our forward lines this year.
Without further ado, the Cheat Sheet everyone!
Ripping stuff Damo xoxo
ALSO, while I'm here – Thursday night teams!
So much for Matt Suckling as a smokie, and Tom Jonas you son of a-
PORT ADELAIDE
In: T.Marshall, L.Thomas, J.Hombsch
Out: J.Watts, J.Neade, T.Jonas (hamstring)
WESTERN BULLDOGS
In: Z.Cordy, M.Wallis, L.Webb, S.Biggs
Out: M.Suckling (injured), D.Morris (injured), T.Dickson (injured), J.Roughead
$20 on Sniper Thomas to shirt front Wines within 5 minutes
aren't they on the same team kev?
Just as likely to go after a teammate, Finnius!
He’s a dog!
Although Talented and prone to ducking.
My plan was to trade Goldstein to Naitanui or Kreuzer this round, now that Goldys got 4 tons in a row should I hold off on the trade and maybe just get Grundy later? Obviously already have Gawn
I'm keeping Goldy. His last few rounds are tantalising. Finals time.
Hey guys, looking to get rid of Nank. He’s done his job up to this point so I can either grab Kreuz this week as a differential, grab Stef next week and let Nank bleed some cash or grab Grundy next week for overs. Cheers 🙂
I’m thinking similar Nank to Nic Nat.. but reconsidering my options .. may go Gawn to Nic Nat keep Nank for a week then trade him to either Grundy or Kreuzer..
gives me two on the park each week but will leak $$… dilemma or dill
Gday Lazza, I like the Nank to Nic Nat move, considering him too! But wouldn’t even consider trading Gawn. How many trades do you have left mate?
I have 12 trades left, 82k in the bank.
Will have19 playing this week, 18 if Duman isn't picked. Do I trade Fritsch to JJK, or hold for a week. I will probably need to make 2 trades next week. Any advice is much appreciated.
You could probably squeeze a bit more cash out of of Fritsch but JJK's b.e is 40 this week. You'll be paying more for JJK if you do the trade next week. I'd pull the trigger, Josh
Nice cheat sheet Damo! You are right about Giro being the most attractive rook this week.
Are coaches considering culling a ripe rook and bringing in Giro this week to raise some fast cash? I am seriously considering it especially if fattened rooks like Murphy or Ronke are omitted. I also have Guelfi and ZGL. Those two still have some cash to make. Then next week, I will have plenty of coin to grab another two premos to be virtually full premo with 9 trades left. What are others doing?
Murray, Langdon, Spargo for Giro, McLean and Gaff
Nice BB!
How about this little trio combo?
OUT- Toby Nankervis, Michael Hibberd, Nick Holman.
IN- Mathew Kreuzer, Chad Wingard, Will Brodie.
Warchest grows to $210K for two big upgrades next week.
I like it. I'm holding Nank because I think he should score well verse Geelong.
The Chad burns never healed for me, Hawk. Bloody gun when Ken chucks him in the middle but he doesn't do it often enough. Like the Nank to Kruze trade though
To be honest if I’d held hib all this time I’d want to treat myself to something a little better than chad
Traded in Simpson (too good to ignore and BE low) and Westhoff (will ton up against my Doggies.
Holman, Doedee, Fritsch gone next week for Gaff, McDonald and Josh Kelly (Simi POD).
Why are you calling them fat? leave them alone, what did they do to you? FATTY
Hibberd, Fritsch (yes it hurts) & Henry to Simpson, Gray & Giro.
Will get me one off full premo & maybe dealing with Petracca next week.
Captain VC – some might go Gray tomorrow night, but any one got the balls to go Rocky ? Well have ya ?
I suspect Fyfe into Mitchell will be the most popular imo over the week ?
Should i trade Walters, Fritch and Guelfi for Ed Curnow, Shannon Hurn and Ahern – leaves me with 10 trades and 1 till full premo?
Yep! Good scorer and Rookie the coach likes + DPP
Why would you trade Walters?
Hey lads. Curre team as follows with 187k in the bank and 10 trades remaining.
Lloyd Laird Ryan
Simpson Doedee Rice – (Ridley Okeefe)
Danger Fyfe Titch
Duncan Cripps Oliver
Holman Banfield – (Ahearn Spargo Coniglio)
Grundy Gawn – (nuff)
Heeney McLean Gray
Fritsch Walters Fogarty (Guelfi T Smith)
I originally planned to get rid of Doedee for Sicily and Banfield to Rocky but with Walters now wanting to be Mundine for a few minutes I was thinking to go Doedee to Hurn and Walters to Sicily with Spargo being cashed out for Giro to leave me with 19 on field this round and 15 instead of 14 on field before trades next round.
Option A) keep Walters, Doedee to Sicily and Banfield to Rocky
Option B) Walters to Sicily and Doedee to Hurn
Option C) Any other suggestions? Cheers lads
G'day Heath, I like your original plan. Cuts a few R14 rookies which will help next week.
I'd keep Doedee as D6 for the time being and focus on getting in another premo fwd and/or mid b4 worrying about him. Like Spargo to Giro, Holman to J Kelly and Walters to Sicily and $100K in the bank.
* Gaff not Kelly.
Thoughts on Chad Wingard as an F6/7 loop? Or should I just spend the extra cash and get gray in? I only have 9 trades left after this and still got a few upgrades to go so im not sure if the Wingard risk is al that worth it, but it allows me the extra funds to make going full premo easier
I think I am doing it, I have never been burnt by him so I figured now is the time to get hurt
Thoughts on these trades:
Spargo to Giro
Murphy to Yeo
Very nice
Who to get for $552k? Could get either a forward or a Midfielder using DPP.
Not Bont is all I can say
THE BONT.
Josh Kelly – Bang Bang
Gunstan? you cant be serious? Wingard much better value than the hawk….
Look at Gunstons run home
Spargo to Giro and Henry to Gray, thoughts?
Like it. Forwards this week McLean is the standout if you don’t have him yet
Yeah I already got McLean, cheers Kev
Ahern or Giro?
Mature DPP v first year rookie
Both?
Giro if you need a body on the park this week.
Ahern if you don't mind him sitting out this week
is De Goey going to get the midfield time to make him an option?
Do we wait on Ahern rather than go on Giro?
I have one defence spot left simpson or crisp? (have laird, hurley, webster, a brayshaw, sicily) didnt want yeo, would consider hurn though.
Yeo
Hibberd – Ryan
Spargo – Giro
Fritsch – Robbie Gray
Leaves me with 10 trades, $117k & 18 onfirled (if Austin and Dusty are both named). Thoughts?
Does trading in Ryan limit your on field players for R14?
Hey Kev,
Yeah it does, leaves me with 16/17 depending on whos named. Could go with Howe or another premo defender whos had their bye. Any suggestions?
Cancel that Howe is having his bye this week haha
Kruezer vs Naitanui??
Comments much appreciated – not gonna be able to afford Grundy.
I would go Naitanui every day of the week if he was played 90% TOG but he's not so…
NicNat has a nice 3 round average of 118 even with his reduced gametime.
He's my smokey VC this week. Hoping Simmo ups his TOG now that he's got through the first half of the season unscathed.
Was going to bring in Titch, JJK and Kruezer for Brayshaw, Smith and Lycett. Then next week I would go Henry to Sicily. Unfortunately, I just realised this will only leave me with 17 on the field this week. As an alternative, I can trade out Spargo instead of Brayshaw, but this will leave me with only 17 on the field next week after the Sicily trade, so I would then need to downgrade Brawshaw to someone. Alternatively, I could swap Savage to Hurley, or downgrade Rice next week. My last thought was to complete the JJK and Kruezer trades and then downgrade Fritsch to Wingard to use as my F7.
Cool
Greetings Community. Nice work with the Cheat Sheet Damp. Agree that the only winner with Thursday night football is Channel 7. 14 trades and $169k in the bank. Initially was going to trade Spargo to Ahern until I realised he has the bye this round. So will trade Spargo to Giro (if named). Need some advice on my second trade. Should I go Guelfi/ZGL to Westoff/R Gray (leaves me around 50-80k) or trade Dunam (if not named) to Simpson.
Prefer the Simpson trade. Hoff and Gray have three figure b.e’s, not unattainable but their price won’t move heaps. Simpson’s is 70 something.
Thanks SC_Kev7. I just worked out that trading in Simpson will only leave me with $7k in the bank which could be a problem down the track with future trades (particularly next round). My other option is that I can move Sicily into defence via Keefe DPP, trade Guelfi/ZGL to Westoff or Gray and pick up Simpson next week. Unless he has an absolute blinder against Freemantle (which is a possibility) I should still be able to afford him. Thoughts???
Yeah cheers Damp
Going to be very wet in adelaide for the game tonight, scores may not be as high as normal.
Thanks Jace. That's why I am leaning towards bringing Robbie Gray as he might do well in the wet conditions.
macrae went 170 in his last wet game this year
Current team – need advice – I'm putting my bye people in brackets so to give a better indication of non bye structure
D (McDonald) Laird, Savage, (Hibberd) Austin, Murphy – Heron, (Keeffe) – This needs boosting
M Macrae (VC), Fyfe, Mitchell (C), Cripps, Martin, (Coniglio) (Merrett) Rockliff, – Holman, Higgins, (Spargo) – Not entirely happy with Martin or Merrett but brought Rockliff in at rock bottom price.
R (Gawn), Nankervis – Crossley
F Heeney, McLean, Sicily, Franklin, (D Smith) (Hogan) – Henry (Guelfi) – I'm relatively happy with the 6 starting forwards ultimately
299K in the bank 10 trades left
2 proposed trades I'm relatively solid on being
Hibberd & Spargo -> Simpson & Giro – this ends up with 318K in the bank
What is worth looking at as Trade 3 to help maximise points and round 14 cover? I was thinking Murphy to Yeo or Hurn – this seems like the obvious one, but I'm keen for other comments.
Murphy to Yeo is perfect Westy. Don't even think about it.
Team as of now with Round 14 byes shown
D McDonald, (Laird), Simpson, Hurn, (Savage), (Austin), – Heron, Keeffe
M Macrae (VC), (Fyfe), Mitchell (C), Cripps, (Martin), Coniglio, Merrett, Rockliff, – Holman, (Higgins), Giro
R Gawn, (Nankervis) – Crossley
F (Heeney), McLean, Sicily, (Franklin), D Smith, Hogan – (Henry) Guelfi
$38K in bank
Potentially
Henry -> Ahern,
Nank -> Kreuz or similar
Holman -> upgrade – alternatively could go Holman to Ahern and Henry to JJK.
Went Hurn for POD. Silly Westy!
great cheap sheet as usual Damo For me its who to get for Nank Kruze or Nic Nac NDD
Both have similar difficulties in terms of their runs home. I’d put Nic Nat slightly ahead but will be close
Warning to everyone, take note of last years bye period… almost every team had a bad, bad game after having their bye.
I would hesitate on bringing anyone in after their bye. Guaranteed they'll be cheaper next week except for Kennedy who would probably break even. Unless you must have them in…
What are everyone’s thoughts on Gaff vs Curnow? Cannot split them….Curnow slight edge I think for his ceiling.
Curnow for me
Thinking the same, forgive my ignorance as I have not watched Carlton all year but does Curnow still get the odd tag job? That's the only thing stopping me…
I'm going Gaff. I like his age and durability more. I don't like picking older players who suddenly seriously lift their output (e.g. Hurn as well), for I often don't see a sustainable reason for this. I will probs be proven wrong by Curnow, but Gaff is more of a natural talent as well, and 20k cheaper.
Looks like a flip of the coin decision, I am leaning towards Gaff though…
Mclean or Hurn?
McLean for me.
Was tossing up same decision. Have gone for McLean as my Fwd line needs strengthening more than my Def
McLean for sure
Will people select Liam Ryan if he's named this week?
I would've if he hadn't gone up in price
need all the cash I can get atm. Doesn't give enough value for me.
I feel most rookies we bring in from now most probably won't be traded out, unless you have a significant amount of trades.
Therefore, does he provide adequate bench cover from here until the end of the year?
If he puts out two 50-60's over round 13/14, is that worth the trade?
Just my two cents.
Call me crazy but is anyone else considering Gazza?
Jump on and watch him miss the entire SC finals.. You know it'll happen.
Yes
Bought him in last week, huge injury risk but got to admit it's fun having him back in the side
Thoughts Crew out Holman and Langdon
In Ahern and JJK
12 trades left 256 k just need 1 more premo
Defender possibly Yeo next week
In a good position to take the JJK risk.
Have you got cover for Ahern this week?
Community… Need someone to slap some sense into me!
I'm currently ranked 240 overall, with 8 trades left.
If laird is out, which looks likely, I'm going to need to pop 4 trades over the next two rounds to field 18 each week.
Is there any point going for broke during these rounds to keep pace with the top, or am I better off playing safer on the trades, fielding 16-17 over the next two weeks and hoping to come home with wind in my sails?
Team is:
Def: Laird, Lloyd, Sicily, Hurn, Brayshaw, Doedee (Ridley, Heron)
Mid: Dangerfield, Mitchell, Fyfe, Oliver, Cripps, Parker, Congilio, Menegola (Spargo, Ahern, Coffield)
Ruck: Gawn, Nankervis (Olango)
Fwd: Mclean, Heeney, Franklin, Walters, Smith, Fritsch (T.Smith, Guelfi)
Probably a question best suited to Wow, Sixty6 or other members who play for rank.
My opinion, if you wanna go for rank, I think you have to field 18.
I think that's pretty spot on, unfortunately for me..
If that's the case would you trade Walters to get in someone like Gaff/Bont (or Josh Kelly next week)? Would cover byes, and with nearly full premo, provide enough cash to upgrade doedee AND fritsch.
Doedee and Fritsch will need to be upgraded eventually so I would pull the trigger.
Maybe trade out Guelfi and Fritsch this week then next week trade out Nank, Doedee and Coffield.
Might need to calculate the money available and pick your premos based on that
Nice, that's what I needed to hear.
Anyone a fan of going early on Joel Smith? Looks to be Lever's replacement…
Next week yes, this week no as you need to bring in playing players. Almost worth going early on a debutant this week if named for they will defs play two weeks if nothing else… You don't need them to make cash, just play.
So Brander from WC could be a good choice?
Do we have any hope for t.smith to make a comeback next week? Maybe even Ridley?
I am hoping that they both play
You need to feild 18 mate, hard to make up those donuts in the run home, everyone will have strong teams
Has anyone heard any update on Robinson from Brisbane? I saw that he is listed as 1-2 weeks away, so there might be a chance he is back after the bye?
Any tips for the week?
DEF Simpson, Savage, Laird, Doedee, Richards, Austin, Murphy (Laird, Howe)
MID Fyfe, Muitchell, Danger, Cripps, Dusty, Holman, Higgins, E.Phillips (Kelly, Coniglio, Pendles)
R Gawn, Grundy, (Hayes)
F McLean, Sicily, Walters, Ronke, Fritsch, ZGL (D.Smith, T.Smith)
At the moment I'm thinking the following:
ZGL to Giro (swing Higgins FWD)
Murphy to Yeo (if Laird doesn't play)
That'll leave me with 15 trades left but not much bank.
Any other suggestions?
By the way the Kelly is Josh Kelly, not Tim
Sounds like good trades.
Is it worth bringing in McLean even though his breakeven is 140?
Petracca -> McLean
yes
fritsch to bont and Spargo to giro or to Brodie
Brodie for mine
Giro. 80k less and JS is much the same as Brodie. Will generate much the same cash by end
need to go early on a rookie (joel smith, ahern or redman) to generate cash for next week, I'm leaning towards smith given he played lever's role but am unsure- already going early on Giro, cheers
Redman looked very good
Tossing this up myself.
I'm even tossing up between Redman, Smith, Battle.
Leaning towards Battle & Redman purely for maximum cash and hope they aren't needed!
Yeah Redman looked class, Battle played well but given his small fwd role in the team I think I want another look at him before ideally jumping on him when on the bubble
Hurn or Westhoff/Gray?
Gray, he must get some mid time soon
He's also their best fwd, Ken likes him playing their for a reason
Hi guys.
Nice cheat sheet.
I've got one trade to to get to a full team with conligio currently filling my last midfield spot.
Not sure whether to swing sicily fwd and trade tarranti to crisp in defence next week or bring in buddy or gunston this week and leave sicily back?
Team
Laird, yeo, ryan, hurley, sicily, lloyd. Austin, ridley.
Dangerfield, mitchell, fyfe, oliver, beams, crouch, cripps, coniglio. Ahern, phillips, mutch.
Gawn, naitanui. Cameron.
Heeney, mclean, smith, walters, gray, tarranto. Ronke, crowden.
Thanks for your help.
Hell Emily. That is one fantastic looking side so early in the season. All id suggest is who in the forward or backline dont you have who will potentially average more? Some names that come to mind are
Mcdonald (still scores well when they lose)
Simpson (consistent)
Westhoff (people are talking about him but im still uncertain)
Crisp and Menegola i think will average more then they currently are come seasons end.
Just my 2 cents
Thanks holty i think mcdonald is a bit dear.
I think out of the remaining def/fwd crisp should go close to being the highest scorer of those remaining.
If i go buddy or gunston this week i can upgrade conigilo to kelly next week but that uses 3 trades.
Or of i bring in crisp next week will leave me with 6 trades remaining with conigilo at mid 8.
Is kelly that much better than congilio?
Not that much better. I'd only make a Cognlio to Kelly trade in the last 4 weeks if I had at least 3 trades left.
Is it overall you are interested in or league finals?
Overall, get the best available you think. You need those points.
But if it is league, hold those trades and leave Coniglio at m8. Those trades are valuable come finals time. I think Kelly will score more but i honestly don't think it will be by a lot so not worth the trade imo.
Need some advice please $550k & 16 trades.
def: Webster Hurley laird Sicily hibberd rice (naughton murphy)
Mid: Fyfe danger Oliver Mitchell dusty cognilio westhoff Holman (brayshaw spargo brayshaw)
Ruck: Gawn nicnat (olango)
Forward: heeney McLean D.smith fritsch guelfi ronke (Henry T.smith)
Would love some help..
Thinking spargo to ed curnow.
What other options round the ground do I have
That’s a lot of trades and cash. I say go nuts and triple upgrade.
Spargo to Curnow is good, if that’s the mid you want.
I’d also go Guelfi to Yeo, via Sicily.
Third trade, i’m not up with all your rookies breakevens, but Brayshaw from freo could go or even Fritsch and get whoever you want. You could alternatively get rid of Hibberd for Simpson or Hurn.
I am set on curnow he is a solid pod had eyed him off for 3 weeks since his suspension. Not impressed he made his way into damos cheat sheet hahh
I think for my second I may go naughton or guelfi like u suggested up to yeo. Stuck on the 3rd though. Would be running out of cash by then. Would prefer fritsch play F6 for a week or two more yet. Maybe go ronke to ahern early keep a warchest for next week. Target kelly or treloar for final midfielder…
Already changed my name thanks to break evens! Who to bring in?
Yeo, Hoff, JJK or Gray (not sold on Chad)
Also worth offloading Pendles > Curnow? Pendles has been sputtering of late
Lyon has confirmed Duman playing in the WAFL.
Crap, when teams come out 5:30?
just after 6
Rgray jjk hogan or Jeremy Cameron?
Please rank ya top options to avg the most from here on
I have Cameron and he is the worst option, but while it is often infuriating, it's never boring
Gray hogan jjk Cameron in that order.
IS anyone else considering Brodie?
Too pricey. Stayin clear
He’s only played 1 hasn’t he?
If he goes really well this week, then maybe. But even then i’d probably just put it down to him playing against the Saints.
Too much money.
I'm bringing him in. He is a little pricey but I think he plays for the rest of the season and will slowly make money but most importantly for me covers the next 2 bye rounds
Thinking the same, Giro would be better but can’t afford another round 14 bye player
Brodie omitted. Probably stay clear
Spargo to Giro and ZGL to McLean
or
Spargo to Giro and Duman to Simpson
Which of these is the best option ?
Thanks
Simpson due to their BE's, McLean still at 140 but Simpson at 78 which he should hit. Can get McLean for a discount in a week or 2 and don't think you'll lose points between them in a fortnight
Duman also not playing this week and has bye next week, so easy decision there too
Yep Duman has to go, hasn't impressed the Coach enough to keep his spot..and has a dodgy back apparently.
Thanks Rusty and Sharknado. Only problem with bringing Simmo in is that it leaves me with only 7k in the bank while McLean leaves me with 37k. Should I still go Duman to Simmo.
Yeah do it mate, I emptied my reserves this week too, but will make it up next week trading out Doedee down, Brayshaw up and Higgins down.
Thanks Russty. Appreciate the advice.
Anytime mate.
looking at having Petracca or Fritsch at F7.
With Petracca being DPP is he the better option even though I would prefer Fritsch as he is more consistent scorer?
Which fwd rookie should I bring in Battle or Brander.
and why?
Hey Brock, Brander's been brought in to replace Darling and is 195cm, could have good JS for the time it takes for Darling to get back if he does well this week. DPP DEF/FWD is also a bonus but the downside is he's $148800.
Don't know much about Battle except he scored 77 in his first game which is pretty good, but he has the bye next week.
Battle looked great, if you are fine for next round I’d pick battle
My plan is for the rookie that I bring in to eventually turn into a non-playing loophole so I can loophole my F7 who will be Mundy. Who is more likely to playa couple of games and then get dropped after the byes?
VC Bont anyone?
Billings to return 🙂
Happy days!…hope he's not too knackered from his 50,000 possessions last week.
Just an extra option to us clowns 🤡 who held on to him!!
Never know Shake, he could've turned a corner now and start living up to what he did last year.
Now looking at some of the outs will come in handy for me Russty!!
Imagine if he knocks out a 120 for you this week mate?..will be a big advantage!
Gives me 18 this week so any score from him will help!!
Just heard on local radio that there is a strong chance rocky goes to macrea
Was that the DJ's opinion Wow or a direct quote from Hinkley?..might influence my decision to bring Rocky in now.
Which Radio Station was it?
Barrass ruled out with ongoing nightmares from his rd1 matchup with buddy. Expect buddy to go large again Friday night
Haha, I've already whacked the VC on him Mav, hope it works out, McGovern or Hurn could get the job now, hope he kicks 8 goals like last time! 🙂
Murphy, Phillips and Heron out and Laird not back. Not sure how to solve these donuts
I think I'll munch on a couple DM.
Yup, I'm going 16 this week with Laird out.
