THE CHEAT SHEET Round 21
Am I crazy? No. I’m daring!
This my most daring cheat sheet yet!
GAFF. GONE! SAVAGE. GONE! Who do you trade them to? Who could fill the void?
Aliir Aliir, Adam Kennedy look like very good value options down back, while Josh Walker. JOSH WALKER. Looks like he can be a key player, even if only as cover.
Hugh Greenwood has been on fire these past few weeks, can he be the one to take that next step to help your team?
Robbie Gray is cheap, and Sam Menegola is as cheap as he’s going to get.
Am I really engaging in trade rumours with my eye on 2019? You bet I am.
And am I really tipping Richmond to beat Gold Coast by 18 goals? You bet I am!
For the final cheat sheet of the year in a few weeks time I want you to submit to me either via Twitter (@neimadkp) using the hashtag #DamosJRCheatSheet or in the comments below to tell me who your best pick of the year is and why.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the cheat sheet:
Who should i be looking to trade out first:
L. Franklin to Menegola/Gray/Gunston (even though he scored well last week it was against Jack Madgen and i predict Buddy will return to his average form)
E.Curnow to Macrae, Neale etc.
S.Martin to Grundy (Martin is doing well but Grundy is killing it and not having him in my team has cost me) ((as a pies supporter i'm livid at myself for not picking him))
Thank community
I'd be going Martin to Grundy, depending how many trades you have left/cash an issue,.. may as well wait on Buddy and trade him out around $500k in the next fortnight if you still wish to do so.
Martin to Grundy can get 50+ points a week added onto your score, all the others maybe not so much. Grundy for mine. Welcome to the Gawn/Grundy club!
Help, need urgent peter advice.
I have 1 trade left and have Nankervis and gaff. Not sure who to trade of the two.
I am in 2 cash leagues and in prelim final next week and elim final this week in the other. Want to win at least one premiership.
Do I trade gaff for McRae and cop donut fron Nankervis this week. OR
Trade Nankervis and bring in grundy which and avoid a donut.
Decision will depend on how long Nankervis will be out. Is it only a 1 week injury?. I will most likely lose this weeks elim final if I cop the donut but win if I get in grundy.
If I trade gaff I do have bench cover in Giro, spargo.
Have to consider next weeks prelim game also. Can’t afford a donut next week as next weeks game will be tougher
Feedback appreciated
My understanding is Nank is being tested. As such I'd hold him and cop 🍩.
Grundy is worth 40 to 60 points a game more than Nank so with him and spargo on field you'e better off than Nank and gaff
Thanks bob, good analysis I avoid the donut as well which is a major concern
Getting rid of Nank will not help you next week better to get rid of Gaff and get the highest averaging Mid you can get Giro and Spargo might get you 80, but next week you are up against it. Diff between Nank and Grundy average is only 32 ponts. Diff between Spargo/Giro and an A Grader is a lot bigger.
If you get rid of Gaff who can you afford up to?
I can go as high as 700k which I would probably get McCrae
4 trades left. Got rance, heeney, Walter's and mclean what should I do
McLean out is priority #1.
Just saw nanks out ffs
Get a good player who will play this week unless you have the week off
Who is likely to score more combined community? Grundy and Billings OR Stefan Martin and Smith. Im struggling to decide wether to bring in Grundy or Smith this week in an elimination final. Cheers community
I'd get grundy smith is rather overated
Best Gaff replacement under $540K
Redden, Crouch or Matrin
Fyfe in a week.
Coniglio, Duncan, J Selwood, Pendles, E Curnow, According to stats. Kennedy from the Swans might be the go with Hanners and the like coming back in.
Need 40k to go Nank to Grundy. Trade Doedee to Houli (d6) or Ahern to Cam Guthry (m9). The latter would leave Doedee as d7.
A Kennedy from the Giants if Def super cheap. and ave 93.
Trying to take out 2 cash leagues, into the prelim in one but elimination final this week v 1st place in another.
Is it worth using TWO of my last THREE trades to upgrade JJK to Dunkley and Ahern down to Dawson? Pushes Mclean to F7 and can cover midfield/forward with Dawson as a swing as well as loophole Mclean with Buddy/Heeney. Leaves me with $140k to upgrade any defender to Lloyd during R23 pending injuries.
DEF:
Yeo, Laird, Simpson, Hurley, Short, Crisp (Lynch, Redman)
MID:
Mitchell, Cripps, Dangerfield, Kelly, Oliver, Whitfield, Parker, Selwood (DAWSON, Phillips, Barry)
RUCK:
Gawn, Grundy (Cameron)
FWD:
Smith, Menegola, Mundy, Heeney, Franklin, DUNKLEY (Mclean, Keefe)
Crazy talk
Ahern to Guthrie makes sense fit defenders are becoming scarce
Last trade gaff to macrae or nank to Simpson, witts, Sinclair?
Depends what back up you got for either player
Simpson out injured this week
Nank will only miss one. Gaff gone for season
Alex Johnson likely to play last couple of games?
Could go Mihocek to him or Spargo to non-playing rookie.
Macrae, Kelly or Merrett and why?
JSmith injured, Herron omitted DEF cupboard bench is bare.
Step up Mr O’Connor. Dust off the cobwebs from sitting on my mid bench all year doing stuff all. Might even see a bit of E bench loophole action. Watch him go huge.
SC gods work in mysterious ways
Yep, I’m glad he got a gig this week with no Smith , gunna loop him with Ryan
Feel sorry for Nank owners.
Tigers giving him a rest and not taking him to qld. Makes sense. But he would have done good.
Ruck is the only position we can’t cover this year and was always going to be a trade if one of our Rucks went missing.
What are Nank owners doing?
I've gotta hold. Only 1 trade left, Olango on the bench and have got the Gaff issue to deal with. Only cover in the mids is Ahern/Spargo and Giro which could go anywhere from 40-90.
Nank has done ok but I’m staggered that SCers in the finals don’t have the best two rucks Grundy and Gawn.
Yes Doc. It is best you hold and good luck.
Asking for a mate who has Nank as I’m safely through to the Premims….
He has 6 trades, limited cash & and an elimination final brewing.
1. Rocky & Nank to Jelwood & Lycett?
2. Mihocek & Nank to Grundy & a rook defender?
Any thoughts Community?? Leaning to option 1.
must get Grundy. no ifs or buts
Hi Derek. So if he moves Mihocek on, would you go with Farrell or A.Johnson to become your D7?
Don’t know enough about either.
Johnson is cheaper
I have enough coin to go Gaff straight to Kelly, is this a no brainier or do his monster scores seem to only come against bottom sides? Consideration is to go Macrae and save some cash.
One trade left, trade out Goldy to Grundy in SC?
Also in AFL Fantasy… Goldy to Gruny or Heeney to Dunkley / Menegola?
Cheers all!
Grundy might not find it easy this week up against Stef Martin.
Trade Heeney or McLean?
AFL Fantasy… trade out Heeney or Rocky for Dunkley?
Why?
In fantasy scoring, Dunk is killing it. Might be worth it.
