Woohoo free money!

SC_Kev7 · 21/03/2019 at 15:28
Could get squeezed out before a price rise when Caddy/Grigg return. Leave him out and make him a correctional trade if a) he kills it, and b) role is assured when those guys come back

DEESNUTSRBIG · 21/03/2019 at 17:48
Solid advice.
Riewoldt/Lynch/Caddy playing up FWD = bye bye Balta
Balta is a short sighted selection at the moment, injuries can happen so before R3 is the time to reassess.

gator59 · 21/03/2019 at 18:20
Balta will have a run in the ruck at times which should help

COREYSC · 21/03/2019 at 15:23

Dusty, Brayshaw, BC, Libba

Dusty

SC_Kev7 · 21/03/2019 at 15:29
Welcome, Teddy. Best of luck to ya 🙂

Teddy021 · 21/03/2019 at 15:46
Thanks mate! 😊

UpBeat · 21/03/2019 at 16:34
It's awesome you're here Teddy, we don't often get SC royalty here so any tips or info you can give is greatly appreciated by me at least. good luck mate

Teddy021 · 21/03/2019 at 17:06
Far from loyalty mate! Just need a bit of luck through the year and hope for no injuries/suspensions!
Will help where I can!

UpBeat · 21/03/2019 at 17:21
didn't you finish 5th last year? that makes you royalty mate, cheers.

COREYSC · 23/03/2019 at 22:29
Best of Luck Teddy hopefully you can go even better this season!

Sharkmove_King · 21/03/2019 at 17:24
I'd do Hately to Walsh personally

Michael C · 21/03/2019 at 16:06
I'm in Chilli! Go Mooses!

1DER · 21/03/2019 at 16:23
Cheers,
Barnburners

redherringfc · 22/03/2019 at 06:21
His team was rated on the fox SC show (I think the guy was last years champ, but missed the intro’s) as a 7 out of 10.
I expected him to say 5 out of 10 and even that would have been generous.

COREYSC · 22/03/2019 at 13:12
Or less then 5 out of 10😂

SC_Kev7 · 21/03/2019 at 16:32
710443, Oz

SC_Kev7 · 21/03/2019 at 16:36
Depends on your structure mate. Libba not the worst midprice punt out there. But if you’re taking risks elsewhere go Macrae/Hore (if named)

Dave · 21/03/2019 at 18:11
I could use that extra cash to upgrade a N.Hind to cousins? Or better to keep the cash?

Dave · 21/03/2019 at 18:17
Or could even use that cash to go Lloyd instead of Hurn? Hmmmm decisions

Michael · 21/03/2019 at 16:35
Whitfield. Not reading much onto the apparent half forward role

Sharkmove_King · 21/03/2019 at 17:27
Yeah Whitfield. One of the best wingers in the competition, who was All-Australian half back last season will not play half forward

Michael · 21/03/2019 at 16:57
The one with Gawn

Luke · 21/03/2019 at 18:02
I just joined and filled last position. Thanks 👍

KSinny · 21/03/2019 at 16:50
Same here, seems pretty reasonable and should all score well enough

Luke · 21/03/2019 at 18:03
Yes b crouch also worth a risk but can't run them all

Doc_1 · 21/03/2019 at 18:12
Both bench material I suspect.
I’d have setterfield, drew, Balta, petrucelle on field before them.

Luke · 21/03/2019 at 18:04
Moore

DavidC · 22/03/2019 at 08:06
Ridley, Moore will be injured by round 3.

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 11:42
Moore if u have Burgess

Derek · 21/03/2019 at 17:40
Have you thought about Rozee instead of Collins.

Doc_1 · 21/03/2019 at 17:54
To be honest hadn’t.
What do you think of his JS. I’m a little worried.
Would have me running a 2-0-4 defence (Laird, Hurn, Rozee/Collins, Scrimshaw, Clark, Duursma with Burgess and Hore on the pine. Moore insurance up forward to swing back if mass casualties)
Would mean I have all 4 port rooks.
I guess on the upside surely they can’t drop them all!

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 18:27
Apparently there's 7 Port players to come back in Doc, so that's a bit of a worry.

Derek · 21/03/2019 at 17:44
I’ll fit him in when he makes an early return in round 20 😉

Sharkmove_King · 21/03/2019 at 18:07
I thought him going down (obviously tragic for footy) made SC more interesting, but I reckon if he was there it would be better. Surely teams couldn't afford all the 600k+ ubers, would have been fascinating to see who people left out

Sharkmove_King · 21/03/2019 at 18:03
I like Moore, but those trades look like money well spent!

Ja191 · 21/03/2019 at 18:33
yes mate, don't rate moore at all myself

KSinny · 21/03/2019 at 18:44
Sounds great

Connor · 21/03/2019 at 18:34
Swap Hind for Bewley?

hedski · 21/03/2019 at 18:50
Hind didn't show much scoring power in JLT Connor, I'm staying away, hopefully Bewley gets held back for a while so he can be a downgrade target.

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:03
Probably don't have both…Hind wasn't impressive in jlt

Connor · 21/03/2019 at 19:11
Currently have Bewley but he hasn't been named – otherwise who else (already have Constable, Scott, Atkins and Gibbons)

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:20
Drew, Butters…Put Balta in in the fwds, or Petrucelle, or Parker.

Maverick_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:17
Clark and constables JS?
I think I want scrimshaw over Clark and gibbons for constable based on JS

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:24
Not sure mate on the Cat's rook's js, I'm leaving Scrimshaw out for now, if Collins spuds I'll bring him in if Scrimshaw does well, gibbons, I just turfed him for Constable

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 18:30
Hi JA, I'm going Danger into Fyfe is Lyfe 🙂

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 18:44
Bloody Bines not named…garsh dangit!….lol, everyone else in my side is 🙂

hedski · 21/03/2019 at 18:55
Good luck Russty, got you first up in Gators draft league.

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:02
Same to you bud, good luck but lose ok?…lol, gonna be fun this year mate.

hedski · 21/03/2019 at 18:54
Good luck Trig, got you first up in Finn's draft league.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 21/03/2019 at 20:52
Game on.
How does the bench work?
As JJK not playing do you get the bench score or do I need to sub on a player to replace JJK??
Backline going ok. 😏

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 21:01
Bench is only one emergency Trig, the lowest scoring spud of the week.

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 18:42
It's gonna be a great year mate!…good luck to you and everyone this season…42 minutes to go woohoo

kevwal · 21/03/2019 at 18:46
Good luck to you, gentleman, and all the JR community members, let the journey begin.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 21/03/2019 at 18:46
Yep 29 green ticks.

Shake_n_bake · 22/03/2019 at 16:25
Good luck Hedski but not tonight 😉

hedski · 22/03/2019 at 17:34
Carn CATTAS 👍

KSinny · 21/03/2019 at 18:43
Yep

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 18:52
I reckon wait till he's played 2 games Russ, and see how that goes.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 22/03/2019 at 08:01
Glad u put an "l" in there Russ 😂

7up · 21/03/2019 at 18:52
Gibbons

Ja191 · 21/03/2019 at 18:52
Gibbons

Ja191 · 21/03/2019 at 18:52
Burgess for the dpp, you should be able to fit in both though

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:02
Good luck back at ya Holty!

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:02
Hoff also named on the wing

hedski · 21/03/2019 at 18:58
I'm going Cripps into one of Danger/Grundy/Gawn, hopefully Cripps does the job.

Ja191 · 21/03/2019 at 19:00
yeah currently have that locked in, lets hope for a big one from crippa hedski

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:01
I'm tipping Goldy to get back to his best this year…if it turns out Grundy is number 1 again, can easily trade up at some point.

Pat · 21/03/2019 at 19:03
Exactly the reason why I have him at R2…

Derek · 21/03/2019 at 20:48
Who is your R1?

Jack · 22/03/2019 at 12:22
Grundyyyy

NoLanguage96 · 21/03/2019 at 23:08
Or you could just go Gawn and Goldy

Hardy · 23/03/2019 at 01:07
join 182223

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 01:53
What are you a frikkin Robot?…enough with the Spam already.

hedski · 21/03/2019 at 19:15
Brimshaw

Maverick_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:29
I think brayshaw and crouch may avg near the same & Moore has the JS over scrimshaw. The first for me

Captain_Risky · 21/03/2019 at 19:12
Atkins on filed, Constable bench

Maverick_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:15
Not sure I like constables JS has quiet a few cats to come back in to that 22

Hawk131415 · 21/03/2019 at 19:15
Same Captain

Hawk131415 · 21/03/2019 at 19:15
NO

hedski · 21/03/2019 at 19:15
Atkins onfield, Constable and Clark on bench.

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:17
You have to click on team lineups Mav, on AFL website.

Maverick_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:20
What’s constables JS like though ? Might swing duursma into the mids and grab scrimshaw?
Or drop Collins to scrimshaw but Collins seems to have rock solid JS. I don’t want any rookies with shakey JS.
Even Clark doesn’t fill me with confidence

Ja191 · 21/03/2019 at 19:19
matty crouch and a coin flip probably sloane

nankthetank · 21/03/2019 at 20:07
Leaving it a little late ey wiz, guess that's why they call it the panic room! I'd be going crouch and merrett but sloane hurt me so I'm a bit biased

Derek · 21/03/2019 at 20:44
Merrett and crouch. Two of the first picked this yearI

Ja191 · 21/03/2019 at 19:20
first one

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:21
Yeah number 1

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:24
Balta

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 19:43
Footywire Gator.

gator59 · 21/03/2019 at 19:43
cheers russty

KSinny · 21/03/2019 at 19:51
Fanfooty's for it now

gator59 · 21/03/2019 at 19:44
I've got him in Mav

Maverick_ · 21/03/2019 at 23:21
You’ll take 94 I think that’s what he will give you most weeks gator. Did he look to play through the guts much?

gator59 · 22/03/2019 at 08:54
I think he went through the guts a couple of times during the last quarter…

Holty01 · 21/03/2019 at 20:42
Yeah I dropped Cuningham for Moore about 4 days ago for the swing set. How do you think I’m feeling right now.😫

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 20:25
They're slow as usual…Fanfooty is faster.

Locked and Loaded · 22/03/2019 at 09:23
Footywire is awesome this year

Derek · 21/03/2019 at 22:50
How the game changed!

KSinny · 21/03/2019 at 21:30
Picked up heaps in the second half, Definatly cleaned up his DE

TommyC99 · 21/03/2019 at 22:12
Looked very good in the 3rd, fell away a little late

KSinny · 21/03/2019 at 22:17
It's his first game so pretty happy with him tbh

TommyC99 · 21/03/2019 at 21:17
Looked pretty good in the second quarter, hasnt been seen since half time

Russty_ · 21/03/2019 at 21:21
Looks like Balta's a spud too…might have to be a corrective trade there…but to who?

TommyC99 · 21/03/2019 at 21:25
Ive dodged the Balta bullet luckily. I kept Matty Parker instead

Teddy021 · 21/03/2019 at 22:29
I fell for the balta trap 🙁

COREYSC · 22/03/2019 at 16:44
Same here Tommy, I’m breathing a sigh of relief there

Rick Grimes · 21/03/2019 at 21:29
Happy with Gibbons. Was always bench fodder and only needs 50 a week to make good cash.

Derek · 21/03/2019 at 22:49
He did ok. I can see him having a decent game and getting a nice cash increase.

NoLanguage96 · 21/03/2019 at 23:15
Spewing. I had him a lot of the preseason but took him out

Derek · 22/03/2019 at 00:07
Didn’t even look at Newman, but didn’t think about Simpson either.

johnno2908 · 22/03/2019 at 08:56
It’s got me thinking about ways to get him in at D4 before round 3. Butchered it a bit early and still cracked out a 134.

Beezneez · 22/03/2019 at 16:10
Also working out ways to get him if he reproduces next week.

Derek · 21/03/2019 at 22:38
109 from 79% TOG and didn’t even look like wanting to make a tackle. He wasn’t even out of second gear.
Was only 67 at 3/4 time but had an important hand in the 3 goals that put the game away, little handball to Lynch, the long handball clearance to Edwards and a mark and inside 50 to setup another. CD love that stuff.

NoLanguage96 · 21/03/2019 at 23:06
Rapt with that Tommy! Cruisiest 109 from Dusty I've seen in a while, in for a big year I reckon

Derek · 22/03/2019 at 00:06
Zero tackles. Didn’t even try to make one.
7 inside 50’s helped

Hoot · 22/03/2019 at 10:22
I went to game. Watched him. Looked very fatigued after every possesion. No explosiveness. Got 109 from sheer skill and awareness of his surroundings. When ever he touched the ball, good things happened for Rich (minus that tackle he copped). If he gets his tank up, he will be a great pick.

Shake_n_bake · 22/03/2019 at 17:00
Couldn’t believe a 109! 8 turnovers not 1 tackle.

The Ranger · 21/03/2019 at 23:40
I'll risk it on Fyfe v no Jacobs.
130 is my cut off point generally.

Derek · 21/03/2019 at 22:47
He looked good. Pressure on his kicks early resulted in some turnovers. He will score much better that that.
How bad is Garlett? How can he be in anyone’s best 22?

The Ranger · 21/03/2019 at 22:50
Walsh 68 Gibbons 35. Who goes up the most in $?

Blueth · 21/03/2019 at 23:01
no one it's round 1

The Ranger · 21/03/2019 at 23:03
Yeah it was a hypothetical question trying to make a point.
Gibbons might not have done much but at 102K he doesn't need to do much to be worth a spot at M11.

Derek · 22/03/2019 at 00:04
I said Garlett, not Gibbons.
Gibbons is good, locked in at M11.

The Ranger · 22/03/2019 at 11:02
Sorry Derek, my bad.

kinglear009 · 23/03/2019 at 12:06
Those 33 points though are on the field – it's why you pay overs for someone like Walsh

Holty01 · 22/03/2019 at 06:29
yeah mate. Garlett was pretty average. But I thought C Curnow was worse tonight. Every time Carlton would get close, he would butcher the ball and Richmond would score. Very disappointed with his performance. Seems like a player when it’s not going well for him, he loses confidence. Experience will make him better though

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 22/03/2019 at 07:59
Never seen him play that bad.
Maybe greasier than it looked. Roo also bad.

NoLanguage96 · 21/03/2019 at 23:07
Or Gawn?

Nostradamus · 22/03/2019 at 22:53
Take Cripps score Grundy wont score above 81 and Danger wont get a ton.

JobeWatsonChaiLatte · 21/03/2019 at 23:02
Gawn will score 200

NoLanguage96 · 21/03/2019 at 23:04
Same problem Vinny! Tossing up Danger or Gawn for The C

NoLanguage96 · 21/03/2019 at 23:04
Selwood

Derek · 22/03/2019 at 00:01
I really think Merrett is close to top 8. He had a rough start last year with a bit of a hit to the head, but after his bye averaged 114, second highest midfielder. $540k is a bargain.
He is a huge POD. Plenty of talk about him being in a moon boot had people crossing him off, but it was only a few weeks and had done everything up to then.
Jogged around for less than half a game in JLT1, rested 1st quarter of JLT2 and came out second quarter and had 14 touches in 15 minutes. Welcome my team.
You would think Shiel will attract the tag as well

Holty01 · 22/03/2019 at 06:32
Hard to say. As we have never seen them in the real thing, I tend to select the best averages in JLT

Holty01 · 21/03/2019 at 23:33
I would normally take 125. I think you risk losing more not selecting then winning.

COREYSC · 21/03/2019 at 23:38
Yes Neil

Northerner · 22/03/2019 at 05:50
Like the Darling move. Give T Boak some consideration at that price point. His role is swapping with Ebert who’s going to spend more time forward.

redherringfc · 22/03/2019 at 05:55
Greene for me. Serious value for a potential top 6 forward.

DavidC · 22/03/2019 at 12:08
Greene will miss too many games to be considered a top 6 forward. There is certainly value there.

Holty01 · 22/03/2019 at 07:11
Hi Red. I think it’s too hard to get him in. However, plenty on here say otherwise. People say trade some cash cows but u need to have them there at that perfect time. Others say build a war chest but I don’t like the idea of having all that money sitting in the bank waiting for the right time. Derek put a good argument in to me about this. He likes building a war chest. But he also knows to well that it’s still not simple as Docherty was an example.
In the end, I’m starting him as it saves me trades and I don’t have to worry about how I can get him in.

Derek · 22/03/2019 at 08:20
The Hoff is a bit over priced as well, that’s why Lycett might be a better option for that move.
You could argue to wait for Hoff to drop in price before getting him in your forward line.
I think Hoffs best days are behind him anyway.
Ahh yes, I have never owned Docherty, he just wouldn’t drop in price.
Everyone is cheaper at some stage.
In the last 3 years, of the top 60 players each year, only 4 have gone through a year and have not been, at some point during the year, cheaper than their starting price. I think they were Docherty, Gawn, Brayshawand maybe Adams (will have to check my old work papers)

Holty01 · 22/03/2019 at 08:30
That is handy advice about only 4 players not dropping.
My trouble will be trying to get all the guns in my backline this year. I’m only starting Hurn and hoping Williams ends up a keeper. Laird, Lloyd etc will take time to squeeze them in.

redherringfc · 22/03/2019 at 18:29
Thanks Derek. You have made good points. However, Lycett is not a keeper and I’m thinking that the Hoff will be.
I’ve gone safe in most regards this year, only real risks are Greene, B Crouch and B Smith and I’m pretty happy with all 3, but the extra dollars may see me get Macrae. Which makes me think I’m going to be chasing a 700k player no matter what.
My dilemma is now who is going to be easier to get, Macrae or Grundy?
I’ve got an hour or so to decide. We’ll see what 2 more beers think.

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 07:36
I’ve taken Cripps score teddy. Locked it in

Derek · 22/03/2019 at 08:08
139 cut off for me

Holty01 · 22/03/2019 at 08:20
Hell Derek. That’s a huge cut off. Who you putting the vc and c on this round. I’m still undecided. I’m either going Grundy/Danger for vc and Gawn/Macrae for C

Derek · 22/03/2019 at 13:16
it works the same way. If you don't take a 126 and you only get a 115, you have only 11 points you have missed out on.
Grundy, TMitch and Gawn all went over 139 9x each last year, Macrae managed it 8 times.

The Ranger · 22/03/2019 at 10:59
It works both ways tho Teddy.
If my punt doesn't come off and Fyfe only gets a 110 I'm not going to be too far in the hole.

Teddy021 · 22/03/2019 at 11:03
Yeah no doubt. It's all risk management and chance at the end of the day. There's no guaranteed result.
Good luck with your choice! 🙂

therealslimshady · 22/03/2019 at 15:27
What if your Captain gets injured after 5mins!! that's what your really risking chasing the extra 10 points

KSinny · 22/03/2019 at 17:22
Very true

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 12:22
Cripps just scored over my cut off point of 125, so I will be taking it.

NoLanguage96 · 22/03/2019 at 13:18
Its a good point. I'll probably take it

Lazza · 22/03/2019 at 13:35
I look at it this way …. my VC cut off is 130 … anything lower .. forget it. I choose my captain because I think he will pass that mark .. trust yourself…unless your VC delivers your pass mark..
I have Cripps into Danger …

hedski · 22/03/2019 at 15:15
Bang on Lazza.

Teddy021 · 22/03/2019 at 16:14
Back yourself in Lazza.
I still haven't decided what to do yet haha.
The thrill of chasing every last point is what makes this game so addictive for me and is a continual learning experience. This is, after all, my third year of playing SC and watching footy.

Jack · 22/03/2019 at 18:00
I took Cripps 130 round 1 last season only for Mitchell to get 167 fwiw

FearTheBeard · 22/03/2019 at 07:49
I currently have Brayshaw & Dunkley (after trading Kelly out) though might go down to Greene to get Oliver/Fyfe.

Harrison · 22/03/2019 at 08:17
Dunkley is my F3. Kelly would be F4 if I went with crouch as my mid.

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 11:42
Brayshaw & Greene

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 12:15
Brayshaw M5 & Green F4.

Derek · 22/03/2019 at 08:51
i think his best good enough, but not sure you will get it every week. feels more like a 85-90 scorer now days.
i don't think he has had any role changes, so you will get pretty much the same as last year

Doc · 22/03/2019 at 10:32
Good PoD, I like it. Brisbane look to be on the up and he'll probably be seeing more of the ball in that mid/fwd role he has, however there is always a risk with someone whose never reaches the heights of averaging what you want out of them.

DavidC · 22/03/2019 at 12:26
Might not remain a best 22 player all season. Lots of competition for spots this year at the lions. Was only given a 12 month extension last year.

Holty01 · 22/03/2019 at 09:05
well Organised derek

Locked and Loaded · 22/03/2019 at 09:27
Greene by the Flemington straight

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 09:33
^^^

Derek · 22/03/2019 at 10:06
Greene, but he there is a fair price difference.

Doc · 22/03/2019 at 10:29
Not involving cash easily Greene, but I'd rather save $120k and get someone closer to a rookie than a mid pricer who has a high risk of both injury and suspension. If you're confident Greene's price and scoring potential will outweigh that risk go for it, however I'd steer clear.

Doc · 22/03/2019 at 10:26
Scrimshaw's JS will be shakey once Hawthorn fix up some injuries, but if you think he can generate enough cash to warrant trading before it reaches that point then keep him, if not leave him out. Collins very good JS but poor SP, he would probably be my choice out of the 4 to get rid of as his scoring potential isn't high enough to warrant the extra $$$.

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 11:29
Yeah good points on scrimshaw doc. Collins did go 90 & 55 in JLTs. PS not too bad by looks of it. Scrimshaw has Birchall to come back who else in hawks def? I prefer scrimshaw but JS is important

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 12:18
I have the three after Collins, apart from Walsh & Butters, I'm not paying more than 150k for a rookie.

Holty01 · 22/03/2019 at 10:04
Around 630 tonight we should have them

KSinny · 22/03/2019 at 10:36
Neale is probably the safer option but I think Cogs has more upside with his scoring potential.

COREYSC · 22/03/2019 at 11:09
Out of Fyfe’s shadow now for the 2019 Season I think this is the Year Neale goes huge!

COREYSC · 22/03/2019 at 11:10
I going with dunkley, his run late last season is hard to ignore and when promised the same role the potential is huge for him although there is always risk with Bevo but that’s the game we play! I think Mundy will Play more forward with Hogan out

COREYSC · 22/03/2019 at 11:25
Heeney

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 11:26
Heeney

Hugh · 22/03/2019 at 11:32
Grundy will go large tonight. Stanley no match. I’m predicting 150+

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 11:40
I’m taking it but I do not have Grundy. He should be able to beat 126

Holty01 · 22/03/2019 at 11:45
im considering Danger over Grundy. With Ablett forward, he should play more midfield time. Either one however will be solid

COREYSC · 22/03/2019 at 13:29
I’m Geelong supporter and i’m confident in Danger especially for that reason, this is the first time I’ve had Grundy so i’m Not sure what to expect but I have seen how big he can score! And with geelong ruckman he’s up against it’s a tantilising prospect!

Mathew Donnelly · 22/03/2019 at 12:46
Personally, I can't see how Laird will improve his scoring like he did last year. I feel like Sicily could go up another gear.
Collins will make coin and be solid during the front portion of the year. Is it possible to scrape 3k off some other line?
Ps. I feel dirty not having Laird since I think he will finish in the top 6 defenders but shying away because I need to extract value some where on the field.
Best of Luck

NoLanguage96 · 22/03/2019 at 13:20
Laird and Burgess

Beezneez · 22/03/2019 at 16:04
My cutoff has always been 130 but I've decided to take Cripp's 126 which is pretty close – a bird in the hand. Say you have another player as C and they score 140 – 150 then the total score would be either 406 or 426. in this scenario, leaving Cripps as captain with a loophole would mean the total score would be 392 or 406. the difference would be a 14 to 20 point deficit which imo is not worth the associated risk i.e the player scoring less or being injured etc. There is a post on this matter earlier on.

murray · 22/03/2019 at 13:34
.

KSinny · 22/03/2019 at 13:46
I think u have to start with at least one of Grundy or Gawn but idk it could be a huge success or a huge fail

Stretch Marks · 22/03/2019 at 14:35
When you buy on the stock market, you are not only considering whether the price will go up and down. you are also considering dividends in the value equation also. The blue chip stocks pay the best dividends. Likewise, Grundy and Gawn pay the highest dividends (supercoach points). I'm going both Grundy and Gawn.

murray · 22/03/2019 at 16:36
SM good points, I will reconsider

Derek · 22/03/2019 at 16:42
Grundy and Gawn are Fully Franked

Doc_1 · 22/03/2019 at 15:23
If the aim was to have the greatest team value after round 23 would agree completely.
As it’s points gained (for both overall rank and individual round wins for leagues) I think the points missed by not having them outweighs the cash gains.

murray · 22/03/2019 at 16:36
thanks Doc, good reasoning

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 12:08
That makes two of us! Can’t quiet settle on Greene as F4 and crouch M5. Aaaarghhhh dear

Locked and Loaded · 22/03/2019 at 14:48
Lock in Greene

Teddy021 · 22/03/2019 at 15:02
Questioning whether to load up on mid pricers now hahaha

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 12:53
Kelly after seeing him line up on the ball and Dunkley the flank

TelescopicCox · 22/03/2019 at 12:54
Tough one. I'd go Dunkley, especially if it suits the byes better

Harrison · 22/03/2019 at 12:57
Yes definitely suits the byes. Thanks TC

murray · 22/03/2019 at 12:57
both

TelescopicCox · 22/03/2019 at 12:53
Lloyd Wiliams Oliver easy

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 12:53
I prefer Dunkley

TelescopicCox · 22/03/2019 at 12:53
Dunkley

COREYSC · 22/03/2019 at 15:09
Dunkley

TommyC99 · 22/03/2019 at 14:50
If you believe Lycett can be a top 8 fwd, id stay with option 1 and then swing Lycett fwd to get Gawn later on. If you don't. Then go option 2 but youre guaranteeing a sideways trade down the line.

Derek · 22/03/2019 at 16:45
i like the Lycett option, especially if you think Gawn and Grundy are the two best rucks, you can start Lycett and save a bit of cash if they fall in price. If Lycett was a bit cheaper i'd be doing it, but at $450k he is too expensive and therefore not likely to increase in price much himself.
if you think Goldy will be equal or close to the other two, just go Goldy now

Gaz · 22/03/2019 at 14:25

Saritz · 22/03/2019 at 14:27

Lazza · 22/03/2019 at 13:36
Mills has a rotational role … he wont be a pure mid … so it depends on why he is in your team..

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 14:35
He's been in my team from the start, I'm keeping him for now, was always going to be a bit of both as far as playing in def and mid.

Derek · 22/03/2019 at 16:50
you are a big fan of Mills John. I'm not starting him this year, even though i love the fella and truely would be great if he averaged 100+
I had a look at my hit & miss with mid-pricers over the last 4 seasons. Not good. Had a bit of success with 'fallen premiums' but zero with breakout players.
i think he will get plenty of midfield time, as long as Lloyd and McVeigh stay fit. Swans have JPK, heeny and Parker, they need one more, i just think it will be Mills.

Gaz · 22/03/2019 at 13:22
Scrimshaw

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 14:35
I've got both on field.

NoLanguage96 · 22/03/2019 at 15:26
Should mention they are currently D6 and D7 so can only have one…

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 16:31
Not much between them, but if I had to choose, Clark probably, but you could just toss a coin.

Derek · 22/03/2019 at 16:53
i think Scrimshaw has better JS than Clark

KSinny · 22/03/2019 at 14:30
Kelly and BC

Sana · 22/03/2019 at 14:02
I have this dilemma too John! Decisions!

Russty_ · 22/03/2019 at 14:18
Hey John, I'd go Constable although I'm putting Atkins on field, probably 50-50 though mate, I chose Balta over Petrucelle so maybe don't listen to me lol

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 14:31
Hey Russty, I've had Constable at M8 for ages now, Scott M9 only came into my team after JLT2, so I'll just keep him there and see what happens. Atkins is my M10. I ended up not picking Balta for my team, went with Petrucelle and Parker on the fwd bench.

Russty_ · 22/03/2019 at 14:57
Hey mate, Neil suggested in the other thread, maybe Balta could go to defence for Rance, not sure if he can play defence but it'd give him better JS, I fear he may have to be my 1st trade of the year.
He only played half the game but 5 possessions and 1 goal isn't good enough.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 22/03/2019 at 15:58
Yup he is out of my team after this round. Time on ground is low but he did fark all for the last 3 qtrs

DavidC · 22/03/2019 at 16:40
Played defence before being drafted and Hardwick has already said they will consider that option.

SW Roosters · 22/03/2019 at 14:58
Why does anyone give any relevance to where players are named in the paper? It's not U/12's. Sides never line up as selected and players are that heavily rotated through positions and on and off the ground that where they are named is completely inconsequential.

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 15:16
If a player is named on the ground they tend to have better JS than ones named on the bench.

SW Roosters · 22/03/2019 at 15:53
Nonsense….. The 4 players named on the bench are not the last 4 picked!! It doesn't work like that at all!!
Heeney is named on the bench for the Swans – pretty sure his JS is okay?? Menegola for Geelong on bench – his JS is fine also….
Other than extended benches there is no JS relevance at all…

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 16:02
I only concern myself with the dees team, pretty sure Spargo, Hunt, Hore, Wagner are the fringe players in the team, all four on the bench.

NoLanguage96 · 22/03/2019 at 15:25
Forget about where they're named John. I'd put Scott on field personally

Scoot · 22/03/2019 at 16:40
3

ZzZCalintZzZ · 22/03/2019 at 15:51
Brayshaw is a valid selection as a potential m8. Brad Crouch won't touch until he strings 2 seasons together. Just don't trust him

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 16:22
Yeah valid point calintz I’m on the fence but 110k is a huge discount but it may result in a trade I guess where brayshaw May be an M8 like u said

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 16:17
Def: Simpson, Mills, Williams, Smith. Mid: Cripps, Oliver, Coniglio, M.Crouch, Brayshaw. Rucks: Gawn, Lycett. Fwd: Danger, Heeney, Dunkley, Billings.

Does it matter? When he does play you can now watch/monitor him for a couple of weeks whilst his price drops..

Nice_Person · 23/03/2019 at 09:02
You'd have to ask 66 mate

Derek · 22/03/2019 at 17:04
he went #1 in all the drafts i was in.
I think the cats ruck department might let him down a bit. Grundy will bring his own the ball tonight and danger and joel will need to work pretty hard against a very good midfield team to get hold of it

Holty01 · 22/03/2019 at 17:27
based on averages as you said,my top 5 will be
Gawn
Danger
Cripps
Grundy
And going out on a limb here but Rocky.

AuroraBorealis?! · 22/03/2019 at 19:25
Ooh big call on Rocky Holts, have you selected him this year?

Holty01 · 23/03/2019 at 20:20
yeah mate. In my team and happy with today. But we all know how quickly it can turn around

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 17:04
Yes, unless u have moore

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 17:30
Scrimshaw is cheaper than Collins, not sure I would want to spend more than 150k on a def rookie.

Mark · 22/03/2019 at 17:59
I have 100k in the bank… and moore is my D4.

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 18:12
I have Scrimshaw at D5.

Mark · 22/03/2019 at 18:30
should I get rid of parker, put burgess in the fwd line then get scrimshaw or nah

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 18:41
Depends if you want a swing player or not.

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 17:46
B.Smith D4 and Brayshaw M5 for me

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 17:28
I'm going with Constable, but in round one, no one really knows, need a few games before we can get at true idea.

Holty01 · 22/03/2019 at 17:29
I’m starting Constable but all valid selections mate

hedski · 22/03/2019 at 17:52
Constable for me Shake, tempted to play Atkins over Butters.
Ill keep Scott on the pine until I see him in the real stuff, other two are more mature.
Could be a bad call.

James Sykes · 22/03/2019 at 18:05
I've actually been able to get all 3 onto the bench but at a push constable. had the 3rd best ppm for geelong behind selwood and danger.
As tweeted by Fantasy Freako.

Lazza · 22/03/2019 at 18:19
So after all the concern about rookies .. there are 25 rookies playing in R1.
Of the 25 rookies only 5 have DPP.
And, whilst everyone was worried about the number of FWD options, there are 11 rookies who can be selected as a FWD.
There are 8 who can be selected as a DEF.
There are 11 who can be selected as MID.

hedski · 22/03/2019 at 18:13
Dunkley and Petrucelle.
Yeah I'm not sold on Moore either, could be proved wrong.

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 18:16
I second what hedski said

James Sykes · 22/03/2019 at 17:58
definitely B Crouch for me

Juzzy · 22/03/2019 at 18:12
Saints fan but can't answer with conviction.
Brown will be back in a couple. Joyce in. Possibly Marsh in the coming weeks.
I would bet on Burgess right now. I think the Saints will be rolling through quite a few defenders in the coming weeks.

James Sykes · 22/03/2019 at 18:18
burgess purely on the DPP

James Sykes · 22/03/2019 at 18:24
gee they are both stars. I had the same decision. I went Neale purely because I am also going A Brayshaw and didnt want 2 premos from melbourne

Gaz · 22/03/2019 at 18:28
fair enough,
one last query: b crouch w oliver or brayshaw and neale

James Sykes · 22/03/2019 at 18:32
well i have in fact rolled with Bray and neale and b crouch……

James Sykes · 22/03/2019 at 18:23
not for me mate

James Sykes · 22/03/2019 at 18:33
i went scrimshaw on that choice

Lazza · 22/03/2019 at 19:14
Small (180cm) mature age FWD who played for Willi … In the second half of the VFL 2018 season Schultz ranked second for ranking points (94.8), first for disposals (16.9), second for contested possessions (8), first for loose ball gets (4.4), first for clearances (2.8), third for marks (5) and fifth for score involvements (6). Scores lots of goals.
If I had known he was to be playing prior to last night I would have picked him ahead of Gibbons. And woul dhave given me a DPP in the MIDs (Drew).
But, how do get a line on him … not Gibbons I hope.

Lazza · 22/03/2019 at 19:03
Duursmaa, unless you have him in DEF

redherringfc · 22/03/2019 at 19:10
Already have him.

Borko · 22/03/2019 at 18:50
thinking of same with english … high risk, high reward! Only do it if u get an extra premo

redherringfc · 22/03/2019 at 18:50
It’s original, i’ll give you that.
I’m thinking about the Hoff in the ruck so I can get Grundy when he is cheaper. It makes perfect sense at the moment, but what am I going to think in 5 weeks time? Pretty sure I’ll regret it.
Yet I still want to try it out.
Go for it, I say.

Lazza · 22/03/2019 at 19:01
That's where I am at … Hoff till after Grundy's bye.. but I wont trade him .. he will go FWD.
Just tossing up whether it is worth having Zac Clarke at F3…

Borko · 22/03/2019 at 19:01
Do you know how long Sandi is out? says TBC calf on website … if 5-7 weeks it’s a good move but just don’t know. At least English is No 1 ruck … needs to overage 80 for 7 weeks

Ja191 · 22/03/2019 at 18:43
If Grundy scores 140 you only gain 14 points

redherringfc · 22/03/2019 at 18:42
I just had a look at the Rookie Cheat sheet and noticed him.
Do you think I should ditch Aitkins? Haven’t fully done my research and have just picked up on people’s comments, but I’m guessing his JS is iffy.

Ja191 · 22/03/2019 at 18:44
Role player, played it very well in the jlt. See his job security as decent

hedski · 22/03/2019 at 18:44
I wouldn't ditch Atkins, cats love the mature ages and You can always watch Scott and correct round 3 if necessary.

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 18:48
Who are your mid rookies, I have the three you named plus Walsh, Scott and Gibbons. If you have Gibbons you could get Scott in for him next week if Scott goes alright this weekend.

redherringfc · 22/03/2019 at 19:00
Others are Walsh and Gibbons. Think I’ll be holding Gibbons unless he’s dropped. he’ll make enough, but might be a bit slower.
I could get rid of B Crouch for Scott and upgrade a defender or forward, both lines seriously lacking.

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 19:28
Hately is another one I am interested in, a bit expensive though. I'm going five premos and three rookies on field in the mids, but I'm one of the few, most are going five premos, one mid pricer, two rookies. You just go with the structure you are comfortable with.

Ja191 · 22/03/2019 at 19:11
Fyfe

KSinny · 22/03/2019 at 19:12
Fyfe

JoelParker · 22/03/2019 at 19:35
Beams

ZzZCalintZzZ · 22/03/2019 at 19:05
Fyfe not a popular starting pick for that reason. No one knows how he will handle having next to zero support. M.Crouch has been a popular pick. Neale is a safe option too.

JoelParker · 22/03/2019 at 19:34
I have Matt already mate.
treloar?

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 18:58
He will be a solid F3 steve..
I have Dunkley but have been asking my self all day which is the better option of he and kelly!
Dunkley purely on his bye won it for me.

DavidC · 23/03/2019 at 07:45
He's only in because Matera got suspended in jlt. Think he will only last one week.

KSinny · 22/03/2019 at 19:23
Get Drew in the FWD and Scott in the MID

Ja191 · 22/03/2019 at 19:21
Macrae easily, hore if it’s bench scrim if it’s onfield and Constance

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 19:32
I have all four, not sure you need to upgrade Hore just yet, see how he goes.

Gibbs · 22/03/2019 at 19:39
Schultz and Scott for me. Petruccelle's scoring potential worries me, Atkins looks fairly decent though

hedski · 22/03/2019 at 19:45
2

Gibbs · 22/03/2019 at 19:43
Treloar

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 20:32
I could have just afforded Kelly at F4, but decided I needed the cash for any trades I wanted to do in the coming weeks.

SamuraiPizzaCat · 22/03/2019 at 20:39
Smart to keep some cash spare, who did you go with instead?

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 20:41
Billings.

SamuraiPizzaCat · 22/03/2019 at 20:47
Nice option at F4, could pay off big!

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 20:34
Who did you have your VC on ?

SamuraiPizzaCat · 22/03/2019 at 20:42
Haven't gone any VC loop hole this week, in hindsight I probably could have used Zac Clarke for loop (selected as E) but oh well, hopefully Grundy will pick up, so reliable last year

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 20:52
I've got Bines as my R3, I like the non playing rucks for the loophole, it's worked well for me the last two years. I also went against the pack and didn't pick Grundy as my R1, went for Gawn instead. Had Grundy/ Gawn combo all pre season, until last week, when I traded Grundy out, I'm hoping to get him in around the byes.

Rick Grimes · 22/03/2019 at 21:00
60 at halftime. Will take that.

Lazza · 22/03/2019 at 21:08
Should be minus 28…

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 22:37
i went coniglio -> treloar right at the bounce of the game and am disappointed…
thank god treloar can find 30+ touches with ease because his DE% really lets him down
that late swap may come back to hurt me

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 22:46
Had him in my team two years ago, was just the same, never again.

Holty01 · 22/03/2019 at 21:19
Not yet but he is currently on target for a score lower then all his others last year.

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 21:05
I remember Russty talking about him for his team a while back

gator59 · 22/03/2019 at 21:14
Certainly one to keep an eye on JD

Lazza · 22/03/2019 at 22:48
Another Champion Data mystery.. he played pretty well in the last half and is awarded only an extra 11 points…. De Goey kicks a goal after a fumble in the 3rd quarter and is awarded 15 pts …

Rick Grimes · 22/03/2019 at 21:14
He's been pretty average to be fair. Cox curse? I'm sure he'll smash it 2nd half.

Shake_n_bake · 22/03/2019 at 21:32
It still just doesn’t add up. Nobody here surely would think Stanley out scored Grundy that half.

Lazza · 22/03/2019 at 22:02
Grundy has hardly won a clear tap out and clearly beaten by Stanley in 3rd qtr… which is why he went backwards… Grundy disposal is also poor and giving away frees ..

Holty01 · 22/03/2019 at 21:16
Yep and the commentators are saying Grundys ruck work is the difference in the game. Doesn’t make sense. Seems Stanley is being awarded for nullifying Grundy.

Lazza · 22/03/2019 at 22:03
Don’t rely on the commentators.. they guess half the time.. awarding disputed hit outs to Grundy..

Holty01 · 22/03/2019 at 22:07
His 3rd quarter was very average

COREYSC · 22/03/2019 at 21:55
100% agree I don’t understand why they do that

Ja191 · 22/03/2019 at 22:28
classless fans

Sharkmove_King · 22/03/2019 at 22:42
I don't agree with it either, but I don't think it's personal.(or exclusively Pie fans) The crowd just boo good players for some reason

Ja191 · 22/03/2019 at 22:20
he's litteraly double his dt score

COREYSC · 22/03/2019 at 22:42
I agree Holty same story for me

Saritz · 22/03/2019 at 22:52
It’s round 1. Worse case, his avg will be 115+ by years end. So a safe bet for everyone who started him. Those that didn’t still have to waste a trade to upgrade

Holty01 · 22/03/2019 at 23:28
True mate. Still very happy I have him. The only way I see starting Grundy as a mistake is if he doesn’t finish a top 2 ruck by seasons end

DavidC · 23/03/2019 at 07:20
They are not wasting a trade, that's nonsense. They just have an extra premium on another line that they don't have to waste a trade on upgrading. Same Same.

gator59 · 22/03/2019 at 22:35
If he keeps dishing up that crap no one will want him

Lazza · 22/03/2019 at 22:37
He certainly wasn’t the Grundy of last year… that toe has impacted his preseason more than expected.. hats off to Stanley, was a major contributor to the win…

Maverick_ · 22/03/2019 at 22:41
very happy to have passed on Grundy.
fingers crossed goldy can come out and dominate hodor sunday

S_Cee_Genius · 22/03/2019 at 22:46
I love it. My 270k POD ruck that enabled me to run 6 premo + Libba deep in the middle actually outscored him by 20! I was budgeting for him to be outscored by Grundy by 20-30. Massive win for me in round 1.
Hope Max pumps out a 140+ as captain tomorrow

Rick Grimes · 22/03/2019 at 22:55
Hmm, one swallow does not make a summer. Grundy could well score 150 next week and your bloke, Phillips I presume, 50. I don't own Grundy but he's class and will bounce back.

geniusstill · 22/03/2019 at 23:04
or he could post another sub 90 up against a far better ruck than Stanley. Philips is up against a lesser ruck than Nank next week but I'd be happy with a 70 that's all I budgeted for he only cost 270K. I'd be very dissapointed with a 120 from Grundy he costs 700k+

Connor · 22/03/2019 at 22:58
People going early on Grundy, RD 1 last year also happened to be his lowest score for the season (95)

Wisdom · 22/03/2019 at 23:09
I don't think he cost 700k+ last year Connor. Sure Pies have a very very easier first 6 games from a Rucks perspective but, He could easily drop 150k by round 6 if he doesn't ave 120+ against 4 rucks that are all better than Stanley + english.

DavidC · 23/03/2019 at 11:38
Gawny is going to get double teamed by Lycett and Ryder. I've gone Macrae (V) into Cogs (C).

relax mate, it's been one game

HardyHah_Hah · 22/03/2019 at 23:00
Nah mate its been every game this year. And it was against Stanley!

AuroraBorealis?! · 22/03/2019 at 23:03
:thinking:

Saritz · 22/03/2019 at 23:03
But you are agreeing you are going to get Grundy at some point (as he will get a lot better). So those of us that start him save a trade. So it doesn’t matter his value to his owners now… we know we have a top 2 scoring ruckman. Plus if you consider the avg team value across the comp by years end is roughly $13m, and we get 30 trades… that’s $3m added value divided by 30 = $100k. So those starting with Grundy essentially have already saved $100k (1 trade). As a Grundy owner I’m disappointed with his night, but definitely not as a key player in my side.

KeenButClueless · 22/03/2019 at 23:11
Thanks for this. Has cheered me up. I did consider not starting Grundy (I am starting Lycett on the Forward line as cover) but there really wasn’t anyone not in my side that I really wanted. I started last season with the idea of trading up to a “proper” ruckman, but it just never happened. Always other priorities. Didn’t want to go through that again this year. Yes I am disappointed with his score. But your logic has made me feel better.

JohnDJ59 · 22/03/2019 at 23:40
Hi Keen, I'm still happy I didn't start with him, his form in the JLT games put me off, looking back, I've never started with the two top rucks from the previous year, only one, so went with Gawn, the only top player from the lines that I went with was Danger, no Lloyd, Macrae or Grundy, just to expensive for me, I wanted a better balanced side, I didn't start with Grundy last year either, but I managed to get him in before the byes. The guy above us said he has saved a trade by having him, but I counter that with the trade I saved by not starting him, since I used the dollars saved somewhere else in my team so we are in fact even.

KeenButClueless · 22/03/2019 at 23:51
Hi John. Yes, it was you who came close to convincing me not to start him. There was no F3 that was convincing, and by moving Lycett into the ruck, that was the role I needed. Mundy was the only one I really considered. That gave me 190k to put on the top of someone, and all that was a rookie to a mid pricer. It didn’t feel like it strengthened my side enough. So I went back to Grundy. I am glad you were able to use the dollars saved better than I was able to. Hope both our decisions can work out for us!

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 00:19
Hi Keen, I have to say it wasn't a decision that I made lightly, considering I'd had the Grundy/Gawn combo up until the JLT games, I was pretty set on the two, but Grundys form in those two games made me uneasy, for a player costing over 700k I expected more, plus I kept looking at my team and the nine rookies on the field and that worried me, so I did a U turn and changed mostly the whole structure of my team, not counting the mids, that didn't change. I was ready for Grundy to do well once I made that decision, but I was still happy with it due to the improvements I made. If I had been like you and hadn't been happy with the changes that I could do, I wouldn't have gone ahead with it either. We have to be happy with our teams and what we start with, in the end we all make our own decisions, good luck to you too Keen.

Derek · 23/03/2019 at 00:22
I thought the same. Had my team set. To change Grundy to Lycett or Goldy I couldn’t see what I would do with the cash to make it any better. So went back to Grundy.

Beezneez · 23/03/2019 at 11:29
I had Goldy T Kelly d4 and Cottrell for a couple of weeks. Changed at the last minute to Grundy Moore and Walsh. Wished I had left it the way it was. Gotta stop taking notice of certain experts and go with my gut.

Derek · 23/03/2019 at 00:17
Well done
What’s your team name so we can follow you this year and learn from the best?

Sharkmove_King · 23/03/2019 at 06:30
What warning? I've never seen you post anything before ….Unless if you're someone who posts under several names in which case I can't take your advice because it's probably wrong 9 times out of 10 but you can hide behind a different alias.

Northerner · 23/03/2019 at 07:11
Well done. Although what do you do when Kruezer gets named round 3? Phillips out? Might work for you, but too risky for mine.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 23/03/2019 at 12:31
Grundy 81 even with 5 FA
Saved a trade selecting him. He will be top 2 Rucks even if you think it's a win getting him for 600k what scores will you miss out on in the coming month? Time will tell

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 13:19
Not sure how you saved a trade selecting him or about the points we will miss out on, since the money left over by not starting him was used to bolster other lines, hence a saved trade and more points on those lines, so it evens itself out and we get Grundy for 100k less than those starting with him.

Ja191 · 22/03/2019 at 23:33
Good pick shouldn’t drop in price and will be around top 6-8. You can pick whitfield up for cheaper later

Shake_n_bake · 23/03/2019 at 12:08
Ive gone with Gawn at home Holty

Northerner · 23/03/2019 at 07:14
Just trying to say more patience and less reactivity is required in Rd 1 – and actually allowed for in the construct of the game.

Sharkmove_King · 23/03/2019 at 09:07
True. Also missed 2 goals (2nd q & 4th q) that he would normally have kicked. 85% tog does seem slightly down on last year so hopefully that picks up a bit too.

Holty01 · 23/03/2019 at 09:20
True nice. Still very happy I have him.
How ur team looking and how ur rd 1 score looking?

Nice_Person · 23/03/2019 at 09:58
Yeah he wouldn't be 100% fit cardio wise so that run would of done him the world of good. Yep those two goals and he would of also tonned up with the 5 frees against.
Not too bad hotly, made a silly decision, got excited to watch the footy and brought in T Lynch 5 mins before the bounce. So I was pretty annoyed with his 20 dropped marks. Thay can always be corrected if need be.
How about you mate?

Holty01 · 23/03/2019 at 12:08
At least he was getting his hands to it. The run will do him good. In a few weeks he will be holding them.

Holty01 · 25/03/2019 at 09:25
Can’t complain with my round. Only mistake was the vc and c selections from me. Went both Grundy and Gawn. But I’ve become use to that now as very rarely do I get that part right

UpBeat · 23/03/2019 at 10:00
Grundy looked tired 2nd half which allowed Stanley to play well and Cats win. In the 1st half the Cats looked ordinary because of Grundy dominance.

Nice_Person · 23/03/2019 at 09:55
Hard to call trends one game in mate, the stars will still be stars this year

COREYSC · 23/03/2019 at 11:39
But also good sign for the Geelong rookies

Funkhouser · 23/03/2019 at 10:24
No

Nice_Person · 23/03/2019 at 10:50
Yes, take away a cash gaining option in your team for the difference between butters and 85 points. Which will probably be 0-30 difference

Sharkmove_King · 23/03/2019 at 10:54
No way! Butters could beat that, most likely he will go mighty close

kevwal · 23/03/2019 at 12:16
No

Maverick_ · 23/03/2019 at 12:40
oh dear god….

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 12:47
You'll do better in the long run not doing silly things like that Alf, that's just a pure wasted trade, and will hurt your cash generation.

Pranav Santhosh · 23/03/2019 at 13:47

Lazza · 23/03/2019 at 14:20
Same

KSinny · 23/03/2019 at 14:21
Did the same but captained Grundy 🙁

Damn shame Gibbons has already played.

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 14:11
Sparrow going well in the first quarter.

Maverick_ · 23/03/2019 at 13:00
brayshaw & dunk

kevwal · 23/03/2019 at 12:22
Can you do Scrimshaw and Petruccelle? Look better on pre-season form and JS (if Scrimshaw performs).

Maverick_ · 23/03/2019 at 12:41
scrim & schulz
Schulz can surprise a few people he will do well i think

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 12:26
Brayshaw and Greene.

Maverick_ · 23/03/2019 at 12:52
Crouch & darling

MattL · 23/03/2019 at 13:16
i have 30 min to decide and a 50/50 split on the vote.

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 13:22
I think with the 1st guy of each 2, you need to ask yourself, which one is more likely to be a keeper, and or last the whole season ?
Greene ain't exactly a safe pick either though, you could flip a coin?

MattL · 23/03/2019 at 13:31
either could be keepers with brayshaw/crouch could flip a coin brayshaw alot of upside though.
but darling more likely keeper over greene.

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 13:25
I'm going with a 5-0-3 mid line, if you want B.Crouch I think he should be M6 not M5. Or go with a top premo in the mids and a rookie at F4.

MattL · 23/03/2019 at 13:30
not sure after drew & setterfield i trust a rookie at F4 John.
But i see what you mean

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 13:41
I have to admit, I only have two rookies on field in the fwd line, but we will know more about them after this round.

Rick Grimes · 23/03/2019 at 12:34
Danger butchered a couple of easy goals. So should have been around the 120. He wasn't great tho.

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 12:52
Hey Trig, yeah lot's of butchery and mistakes on both sides, was very scrappy so hence the lower scores spread around, still an entertaining close game though, gotta expect players to be rusty in the skills early.
Constable got 20 points for a goal late, which boosted his score. Clark was pretty solid, my prize recruit De Goey looked a bit unco and not too fit, screwed up an easy goal shot too by handballing it to a guy under pressure. Hoping he gets better soon. 🙂

Maverick_ · 23/03/2019 at 12:58
yeah i got sucked into the pre game hype was buzzing fridy night footy was back and made a fundamental mistake coniglio -> treloar. adam dominated with 34 touches 5 marks 6 tackles and a goal but absolutely butchered his disposal only gave me 102 pts. cogs will smash that unfortunately. now i am wondering how to get cogs in today haha
rookies all looked good though no reason for them to lose there places after that game.

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 13:09
I reckon Treloar will be ok Mav, he's a ball magnet and does butcher it at times but still generally tons up which is a bonus, they weren't handing out SC points easy last night!

kyle · 23/03/2019 at 12:46
would u go him over petruccle

Maverick_ · 23/03/2019 at 12:50
yeah i would.. i took parker over pettrucelle on JS and now thinking schulz over parker.
There are a few to come back into freo's side but lachie is a small forward who works hard i think he has good JS

kevwal · 23/03/2019 at 12:47
Will wait for Balta's points in Rd2, but Schulz does look good as a straight swap.

kyle · 23/03/2019 at 12:52
yeh might go balter to Schultz if balta doesnt perform

Maverick_ · 23/03/2019 at 12:54
they reckon down at tigerland balta is actually a real handy def…
wouldnt it be nice if they swung him down back for rance and gave him an opportunity there

kevwal · 23/03/2019 at 13:14
That would be nice.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 23/03/2019 at 15:30
Reckon that is what will happen

kevwal · 23/03/2019 at 13:09
Can only, really, go on JLT form. PPM tells us it is Duursma, but not by much over Hore. Burgess, I feel, will be a slow burn rookie who is there for the swing opportunity.

Maverick_ · 23/03/2019 at 13:33
Hore.
Lewis a late out does this allow hore to take a few kick outs? i hope so!
i benched duursma just now for hore

kinglear009 · 23/03/2019 at 16:51
Oh no – still a good decision all things taken into consideration

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 14:28
Duursma since he will most probably be playing on the wing.

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 15:04
Duursma cause it's half time and he's on 48 points.

kinglear009 · 23/03/2019 at 16:51
Hindsight 2020

Sharkmove_King · 23/03/2019 at 13:30
I don't mind it, its certainly unique. Not too many guys I would question. I would have liked to see Rozee gone and Drew forward and Atkins m10.
Maybe with the extra coin, the Hoff instead of Lycett, or Shaw to a more trusted premium….but you're obviously set on those 3 so who knows they might be better. Good luck!

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 13:33
The players names are Constable and Setterfield, not Constance and Seetefield.

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 13:36
Not mad about your team, but it's better than I first thought it was.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 23/03/2019 at 14:12
At this stage I'm thinking of coaches who did not pick both Grundy and Gawn. Could be a huge difference in the season. Time will tell

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 14:14
Not looking good in the first quarter. Do you have a cut off point you normally go on, mine is 125, so Cripps just got over the line.

Maverick_ · 23/03/2019 at 14:31
yeah i usually take 125-130 john and was meant to take cripps score it but i think when i traded sweet -> bines it swapped the C back to gawn from sweet & i did not realise. Gawn looks absolutely exhausted out there he doesnt look fit at all

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 14:37
Bloody hell that is bad luck, it always pays to double check that type of stuff before a game starts, I'm a bit paranoid like that.

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 14:59
Yeah he looks good John, as does Harmes picking up where he left off last year, Gawny's copping a bit of a working over, I reckon he'll bounce back strong in the 2nd half.
He needs to unleash the fury of the beard.

Maverick_ · 23/03/2019 at 15:07
2nd half can only get better.
i'll take a 47 from gawn with that performance

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 15:11
I've always liked Salem as a player, he can score big, but he has his off days as well, which is why I didn't pick him, he was in there for while though, but just didn't have the nerve to go through with it, in case it blew up in my face.

At least I've got Duursma Fred on instead of dirty Hore 🙂

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 15:21
Hey Russty, did you have Drew in the mids and not in the fwd line ?

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 15:22

Hedski, i wish i never picked my side, Grundy has looked ordinary all preseason and now last nights efforts?? Gawn looking ordinary too!! ballsy double downgrade for a big cash grab and fix some spots brfore rd3

Hawk131415 · 23/03/2019 at 15:50
I also had Atkins on over Constable, and Clark on bench, but have the three PA boys on field, all look great

hedski · 23/03/2019 at 15:52
I have Grawndy too Hawk, not stressed they're just blowing the cobwebs out.
As someone said earlier round one scores won't affect prices much, they could both pull out 160's the next two weeks.

Hawk131415 · 23/03/2019 at 16:07

kinglear009 · 23/03/2019 at 16:50
Part of the fun of Rd1 is panic picking have your team while all your well laid plans cry in the corner – that's how Oliver got the C chucked on him and not Crouch and also how Menegola made his way into the team 3 mins before the bounce

Goat___23 · 23/03/2019 at 15:49
Mate chill out. Gawn and Grundy will both score 125+ next week. Brayshaw is currently on 59 at 3QT. I don’t remember anyone saying Boak wasnt a ‘valid’ option? Pretty sure people just preferred Kelly/Dunkley, some even went Mundy. 68 from Walsh is still serviceable, and from what we’ve seen in the JLT and his junior years he should still score 80s. Not everyone scores 90 points in their debut in Round 1 in front of 85k mate.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 23/03/2019 at 15:52

Hey mate, this community rarely has 'laws' of who to pick but like any community it does follow generally advised wisdoms. Every season, some of that wisdom proves folly and then the community can laugh about Billings and Hibbo being such spuds only to jump back on next season but your negativity really ruins the 'fun' element of Supercoach.

Walsh will have plenty of decent scores, he runs hard, accumulates, he just lacked execution in his first game against one of the best defensive teams in the comp. Hardly panic stations

ZzZCalintZzZ · 23/03/2019 at 16:14
Nothing wrong with him
The new system using signs instead of runners has made it hard to get back on the ground. Some players being stuck on the bench for 5+ mins

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 17:32
Oliver and Max got bashed around early, I think that was Port's strategy against them, both took some heavy hits, also heard the commentators say Oliver and Brayshaw were beaten by Rocky and Boak in the middle.

Brn · 23/03/2019 at 17:51
I nearly won overall once, so while im not the ''reigning supercoach premier', finishing in top ten would say im not useless like you say. Granted, i'm having an absolute shit week, and might have a shit year. But you would expect it to all even out in the end, and if you think stanley is a better pick than gawn or grundy, you really wont get far

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 17:56
Who said that Brn?…it wasn't me mate.

Shake_n_bake · 23/03/2019 at 19:16
Didn’t handle the heat

Pickle · 23/03/2019 at 16:21
Or even Lewis pierce?

ZzZCalintZzZ · 23/03/2019 at 17:05
I think no Polec and Wingard helps too. They used Ebert up forward rather than Rocky today too

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 16:34
Just happy Max managed to outscore Grundy.

Hawk131415 · 23/03/2019 at 16:35
On the money Mav,

Derek · 23/03/2019 at 20:49
Oh yeah

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 17:24
I don't think you can quit once you've started Brn, only allowed 1 side I think, you didn't do anything wrong, just unlucky this week, I had some stinker scores too with Oliver, Brayshaw, Gawn, picked the wrong rookie on field instead of Drew, just gotta stick with it mate, it's only one week.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 23/03/2019 at 17:26
Yup don't worry mate 100k coaches will be doing 2 correctives over the next 2 weeks

Brn · 23/03/2019 at 17:40
Thanks guys. I did more research than anyone and are more disappointed than i should be over this

Ja191 · 23/03/2019 at 17:41
Marathon not a sprint mate, forget this round

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 17:43
I'll be pushing it uphill to hit 2000 from here, cest la vie !

neil demons delight · 23/03/2019 at 17:59
That's good Russty 1800 here worst start ever but a bit to go yet never know

Brn · 23/03/2019 at 18:01
Bloody nice blokes on this site thats for sure

Hawk131415 · 23/03/2019 at 18:06
More research than anyone? WOW?? And what? think you should be king?? Man you think a lot of yourself,

Brn · 23/03/2019 at 18:18
Mate all i'm saying is i, sadly, have spent the best part of the last few months reading everything sc related. Nobody is 'king', but i have previously finished top ten overall, and top 500 overall. I'll be the first to say my team is shit asofar, but i'll be dammed if hours of research isnt worth it

Brn · 23/03/2019 at 18:21
If you are saying that research isnt relevant, you really are a fool

Hawk131415 · 23/03/2019 at 18:25
No im saying youre not giving anyone else any respect, we all do a tone of homework!!

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 18:28
No need to argue fellas, don't think Brn was implying anything Hawk, he's just disappointed in his team this week, as probably a lot of us are, always next week! 🙂
I've done a shit tonne of research too but it didn't amount to shit this week haha

Brn · 23/03/2019 at 18:30
And im sure that rusty is a better chance than most due to that research

kinglear009 · 23/03/2019 at 17:40
Haha I was definitely one of those people – still not sure he can handle a tag, but when teams let him run he's a beast.

Ben · 23/03/2019 at 17:45
Not sure if it's the new rules but no one has really got tagged so far this season. Next week Sloane has Sydney so will be interesting to see if he gets the Hewett tag.

Brn · 23/03/2019 at 17:59
Its one week

Sharkmove_King · 23/03/2019 at 18:17
Not sure if any of the tagging teams have played yet, except Hawthorn, but I don't believe Howe played

_Kyle · 23/03/2019 at 19:56
Just like 30 others seem obvious picks after seeing a big first round scores…sloane is at a non injury affected 520k for a good reason. Give the bloke a little attention and he can do nothing about it.

neil demons delight · 23/03/2019 at 17:56
same Hotly no need to panic yet or rage trade

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 17:58
Cunnova game Holty…I've got one ton so far, shocker! lol

Brn · 23/03/2019 at 17:58
Did the same mate. Doedee was also my backline pod, and he was going great. Oh yes and i started balta, and had oliver..
This game isnt fair. Regrouping for next week

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 18:09
That's a huge bummer Brn, could maybe go to Newman now for Doedee, I had Doedee in my draft side, Crows will miss him, could've become a premo this year.

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 17:59
Or this year if you want some real pods…sorry, bad taste.

BlueBaggerJosh · 23/03/2019 at 18:06
Don't need any more shark moves Russty, im hanging on to the edge of my pants with Rocky, Sheed, Hanley, Williams, Crouch, Libba, Greene lol

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 18:11
Nice Rocky score today Josh!, I have Williams, Libba and Greene too, at least Libba's prediction score was 14 for some reason, should improve on that.

Brn · 23/03/2019 at 18:13
Noticed libbas 14 prediction lol

BlueBaggerJosh · 23/03/2019 at 18:13
Hopefully !

Brn · 23/03/2019 at 18:24
Same here mate. Scrimshaw at least still has a shot

_Kyle · 23/03/2019 at 19:52
Il happily take a 56 from scrimshaw considering some of the junk thats been thrown our way thus far.

Brn · 23/03/2019 at 18:26
Was just thinking this. Does 666 mean a less congested game, and less hitouts? Feels like this should have been foreseen.

Travis · 23/03/2019 at 18:32
Ffs i too have grundy and gawn. They are premos and cost mega $. I honestly dont know if i hold or downgrade burning 2 trades this week. Gut feel is to wait a week. Nank the tank scored better. 666 burned alive

_Kyle · 23/03/2019 at 19:40
Trading out both big men would have to be the worst move i have ever seen in my years playing SC. Its round 1 mate ease up.
Nank is a ruck with a far less SC friendly play style than grundy and he scored well. Grawndy had a bad week. The power made it a team effort to hit push knock shove and pester gawn for the whole game and virtually the entire demons side had a shocker. Both will bounce back. Even if the 666 rule has a negative impact on rucks it certainly isnt a -50 point difference

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 18:35
Can i just say…don't panic, and be patient, you picked them for a reason.

Hawk131415 · 23/03/2019 at 18:45
Not panicking. just see the 666 doesnt seem to be helping rucks? something ive noticed

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 18:59
Grundy had 6 clangers, 5 frees against, only 2 tackles and 2 marks for the whole game,with 18 disposals, he normally does a lot better than that, nothing to do with the rules…probably just rust.
Gawn had 3 clangers, 2 frees against, only 2 tackles and 3 marks from 13 disposals.
Both had a decent amount of hitouts, not that many to advantage though, I think to trade them out after 1 game could be very regretful.

neil demons delight · 23/03/2019 at 19:58
You will find the dees will get better as a whole Rusty .Goodwin has said the short turnaround affected preseason but they managed their workloads to fit it in to the shortened preseason. A good way of saying we are underdone .Watch for a better dees against the cats. Grundy copped a few hard calls and missed a sitter. No need to worry.

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 20:13
I'm not worried mate, I'm sure they will, a week's a week, it was hot too wasn't it?, Gawny will be fine, Oliver's haircut is a bit of a worry, is that a permed Mohawk?…LOL

Lazza · 23/03/2019 at 19:34
Don’t know about the Rucks Hawk but wasn’t 666 supposed to create more space and goals …. 8 teams have hit the park so far and not a ton amongst them..

Lazza · 23/03/2019 at 19:35
Oh, Shaker just said that… 🙁

Hawk131415 · 23/03/2019 at 20:42
Spot on Lazza, also noticed that too

Beezneez · 24/03/2019 at 10:50
Hawthorn pressured the Crows non stop and forced them to bomb long to contests where the Crows were usually outnumbered. Doedee going down didn't help. Two goals seven points in the last quarter also didn't help when at least three of them should've been goals and game on. Abysmal effort from the Crows. Only one favoured team (Richmond) has won so far.

Holty01 · 23/03/2019 at 20:22
I picked Sloane and M Crouch. Also picked Rocky.
But had the C on Gawn so ends up averaging out.

AuroraBorealis?! · 23/03/2019 at 20:51
i've got sloane and matt crouch mate, happy with those choices at least

COREYSC · 23/03/2019 at 22:31
I have te Crouch Brothers i’m Content with te result was hoping for more from B.Crouch but not a bad return to AFL

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 22:46
Are you Mexican or something Corey, or do you just have an aversion to h's?….B.Crouch , risky pick, hope he doesn't break apart at the seams for you like the last 7 years.

COREYSC · 24/03/2019 at 08:16
Have to wait and see Russty, two massive intro club matches and then the two JLT games I just couldn’t ignore him in the end, hopefully he stays in one peace!

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 19:30
Helluva week ay Shake?…I've got 3 now with Laird and M.Crouch's just in…lol

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 19:36
I have three so far, Drew, Cripps and M.Crouch.

Shake_n_bake · 23/03/2019 at 19:44
I meant no team that has played yet has scored over 100. I thought with the new rules the game was suppose to open up.

JohnDJ59 · 23/03/2019 at 19:56
OK, I got it.

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 20:15
Oh ok, wasn't sure what you meant, I think they did it to reduce the amount of blowout scores.

Holty01 · 23/03/2019 at 20:24
Yeah it’s bad isn’t it Shake. The AFL can’t help themselves. It was in a great state and they keep changing it for no reason. I’m sure in a few weeks though the games will open up and some big scores will come.

Maverick_ · 24/03/2019 at 00:56
I love the 6 6 6. In both of the cats v pies & demons v port games in the close moments there were some crucial clearances late where they couldn’t flood and made it interesting gave the teams opportunities. I’m a big fan. Agree with holty the scores should come 🙂

ZzZCalintZzZ · 23/03/2019 at 21:23
Makes no sense to waste Heeney like this.

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 22:17
Kinda like letting Howe kick in the other night when Darcy was practicing for it in the pre-season and Howe kicks it straight down the opposition's throat in the last quarter to lose the game. Good call Coach!…then Buckley proceeded to blame his players for the loss.

dontblushbaby · 23/03/2019 at 21:43
Mate, I had the same issue all week, I went with my gut with Fyfe , happy to roll the dice with him, but please don't blame me if you go with him and it goes bad , cheers

BlueBaggerJosh · 23/03/2019 at 21:49
My gut says Fyfe also however, if i downgrade to Cogs, i can corrective trade Petrevski seton to fisher or worpel next week? Does that change your opinion or do you think i'm overreacting over 1 week?

dontblushbaby · 23/03/2019 at 22:13
Wait until the round has finished, however be careful of just chasing points , its only round 1

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 21:51
In my ideal world, Fyfe scores 150 this week, he's my Capi-tain 🙂

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 22:18
Fyfe has better hair, and wears an NBA style arm sleeve, that seals it for me.

Derek · 23/03/2019 at 23:03
I went Oliver

JEL · 24/03/2019 at 16:50
Glad I stuck with Cripps VC score.
Out of my other possible C options only Macrae scored better.

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 23:07
At least you 2 amazing bastards had all the right players in your sides to start with, so don't despair, It'll all even out in the long run.

Derek · 23/03/2019 at 23:02
What will happen when Wines and Gaff are back?

Northerner · 23/03/2019 at 23:20
Sheed played JLT with Gaff. No risk there. Sheed is playing Priddis’ old role which Redden stepped into last year. Sheed has better DE than Redden and is fully safe. Just waiting in the bus line from the game. Sheed will get the Brownlow votes tonight. His sureness under pressure was exceptional.

Holty01 · 23/03/2019 at 23:28
I think Neale pips him for the 3.

BlueBaggerJosh · 23/03/2019 at 21:48
3, round 1 has the least influence on price increase compared to round 2

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 23/03/2019 at 22:06
1 of the 7
Handy Capt. 😁

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 22:13
I'll 7 your reasons.

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 22:09
Somewhere between Dawg Shite and Baboon's Breath Tommo, maybe 2000, it's touch and go.

BlueBaggerJosh · 23/03/2019 at 22:39
hahaha

KSinny · 23/03/2019 at 22:34
1718 with 4 to go so hopefully close to 2100

BlueBaggerJosh · 23/03/2019 at 22:40
Around 2200

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 22:42
Son of a biatch lol

ZzZCalintZzZ · 23/03/2019 at 22:53
2040-2090 for me I reckon. M.Crouch, Rocky, Macrae, Cripps my only 120+ scores. Been a testing first round so far

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 22:57
That'll teach ya Dave, you should call yourself Dave again, all those ZzZz's make me want to go to sleep ,ZzzZZ..2050, I'd be happy with that mr Sandman 🙂

ZzZCalintZzZ · 23/03/2019 at 22:58
Cheers lol
This is my Server based game name 😂

Tommo09 · 23/03/2019 at 22:48
Wow nice

AuroraBorealis?! · 23/03/2019 at 23:11
im on 1854 with three to go, so looking at around 2100-2200. Have Z.Williams, Billings and Schultz to play so who knows really

_Kyle · 23/03/2019 at 23:16
I may just scrape past 2000 if i get lucky. Likely score will be around 1950

Holty01 · 23/03/2019 at 23:30
2134 with Williams to play.

Maverick_ · 24/03/2019 at 00:49
Had a relatively high risk high reward side an so far not working out. On track for 1980-2040 with the captain loophole mistake costing me close to 90 pts

Nice_Person · 24/03/2019 at 08:25
How'd it cost you 90 mav?

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 12:18
Yeah MAV. Was that 90 a typo?
My last minute decision to go Gawn instead of Macrae was costly but still only cost me 44.

Defying_Madness · 24/03/2019 at 03:40
Sitting on 1865 currently with Green, Williams and Coniglio to go. Hopefully will hit 2200

Pranav Santhosh · 24/03/2019 at 05:34
Projected for 2121 so really happy with that. Gambled with C danger over VC Cripps if I held onto Cripps score would be hitting 2150 either way really happy

Great fact hunt · 24/03/2019 at 05:44
1680 with 6 to go maybe 2250. Happy with that start. Think it will be overs this week.

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 12:20
Who you still have to play GFH?

COREYSC · 24/03/2019 at 08:04
Probably just under 2,200

hedski · 24/03/2019 at 08:44
I'm on 1812 with Collins, Cogs and Williams to come, might push 2100 if lucky.

TOPHAWK1 · 24/03/2019 at 09:52
Sitting on 1637 with Coniglio the captain, Billings, Z Williams, and Goldstein to play. I reckon with a bit of luck, I am looking at 2150-2200.

Danners · 24/03/2019 at 11:22
1518 with with Fyfe (C), Whitfield and 3 rookies to come. Having Drew on the bench hurts

Russty_ · 23/03/2019 at 23:10
I'll trade ya JJ Top Deck for a decent forward, he'll be back soon.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 24/03/2019 at 09:30
Only trading mids.
I did acquire Smith recently up fwd but. 🤣

Iamme · 23/03/2019 at 23:57
I played 6 rookies on field and lucky for me they all came off, as the lowest score between them was 67 (and no I didn't pick Walsh). I am currently on 1718 with Fyfe, Williams, Mcgrath and Goldy to play,. hopeful they get me to around 2150 -2200 Grundy,Oliver (who I have) and Gawny have let a lot of teams down big time this week….. so will be interesting to see what a par score will be.

Tyruddanaut · 24/03/2019 at 08:13
I only have Walters and Pierce. The PODness will help me keep entertained I hope

COREYSC · 24/03/2019 at 08:13
Same here Holty

_Kyle · 24/03/2019 at 09:59
2100 will be well above par. Lots of people will struggle to reach 2k with the amount of sub par popular premos

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 12:14
Ive joined

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 02:12
Can’t really help. My midfield is pretty full. I’ve got to find a replacement for Rance.

DEE · 24/03/2019 at 08:51
Tyrudd what score do you reckon is par this week? I’m on 1853 with Williams and Parker to play! I’d be happy with high 2000s my friend, I’ll be lucky to make it past 2000 this week I reckon. Cheers!

Tyruddanaut · 24/03/2019 at 10:47
I think that will be a bit lower. If I had to guess, it would be mid-high 2100s

Sharkmove_King · 24/03/2019 at 09:47
Hi Dee.
I've tried to do a bit of research on him and this is what I've came up with.
The Good: He averaged 18 possessions as a small forward last year which was either the most or second most of any forward in the competition. It's worth noting that's there less possessions all round in lower leagues compared to the AFL. Bewley was the most I think with 26. So, he can get the ball.
The bad:. He didn't play JLT at all, he played for Peel instead (Freo's reserves I think). Matera got suspended in JLT2 for 1 week. Is he just taking Materas spot?

DEE · 24/03/2019 at 14:41
Sharkmove thanks for taking the time to response mate, I’ve decided to leave him out and watch him closely in the first 2 rounds. I just couldnt pick Schulz as I haven’t seen him play footy, so decided to leave Burgess on the bench for now…. but I definitely would have flicked him if he didn’t have DPP. Cheers knackers!

TOPHAWK1 · 24/03/2019 at 09:58
My captain has not played yet. LOL

Nice_Person · 24/03/2019 at 10:18
Neither

Krups · 24/03/2019 at 10:23
Gee its a bloody tough call. To invest that much money for such a poor return is dissapointing. But its a marathon not a sprint. Hold people.

Mr_Pink_ · 24/03/2019 at 11:10
Agree Shark… but not just with the around the ground stuff – every single Port Adelaide player bumped Gawn whenever he ran past. I think Preuss will be named to give Gawn a chop out and be under strict instructions to throw his ample frame around. So it's also a very real possibility that Gawn will play less time in the ruck… a big concern

Mr_Pink_ · 24/03/2019 at 11:11
Also Grundy got shafted with a few frees Friday night… apparently CD was not watching either when he was putting it down the throat of his mid's

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 12:07
Wouldn’t give up to early on the rucks Shark. I remember a few years ago when we had some rule changes we were talking about the same thing. All the rucks had a terrible first round and people started panic trading as they thought it was the death of ruckmen. Following round rucks started pumping out huge scores. And if memory serves correctly, it was the year that Gawn and Goldy went huge against each other.

Shake_n_bake · 24/03/2019 at 12:43
And after this game im thinking Pruss comes back in.

Goat___23 · 24/03/2019 at 10:11
As a bombers supporter it can go one of 2 ways. Either Coniglio will score 130 in a tight contest because essendon NEVER tag opposition midfielders. Or he only scores in the 90’s because we go on one of those ‘rampages’ like against West coast or Port last year, which I feel is a very high possibility in round 1. Due to the uncertainty, i’d go with Fyfe against north without Jacobs

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 24/03/2019 at 10:41
Dont reckon you could go wrong with either hawk but how is fyfes elbow.

TOPHAWK1 · 24/03/2019 at 11:36
Thanks Trigga. I dont have Fyfe. Just Coniglio. I could punt Cogs for Fyfe and make him captain. I cant do it, sticking with Cogs. He is a beast. No Kelly, No Ward, GWS at home, Essendon dont tag much and therefore the stage is set for Coniglio. From what I have been hearing from the friendly sandgroper locals is that Fyfe's elbow is still a bit raw. expect to see him with an elbow brace again today. Still risky starting with him. Cheers mate.

TOPHAWK1 · 24/03/2019 at 11:42
hi Harry. Yep, Sheed has raised his game to the next level. No doubt now. That winning goal he scored in the grand final has made him really believe. Salem, Newman, and Sheed are all on my hit list as well as Worpel. Dont have those 4. I do have Rocky, and the Crouch brothers. Obviously very happy with those choices. Punted Gawn for Goldy at the last minute yesterday. Hope Goldy can do the business and justify backing out of Grawndy. Cheers mate!

HarryH76 · 24/03/2019 at 13:37
Yep my mate who's a Weagles supporter said the same re Sheed. The challenge is who goes. I can actually upgrade Walsh to him with $ in the bank but not sure the value of it. Otherwise one of Cripps, 2 x Crouch, Oliver or Brayshaw goes, and not sure I want to get rid of any of them

Imsobrad · 24/03/2019 at 12:15
He is definitely upped his game, however i would be hesitant to think he can continue with the 40 touch games until andrew gaff comes back in round 3 which actually coincides with the price rise. Gaff is a big accumulator and just wondering if there is enough to go around.
Same logic with rocky, im not sure how his scoring is affected with wines back in.

Goaled Finger · 24/03/2019 at 13:08
Very early days, so no regrets. But my initial concern is I had locked away Westhoff and Goldy as my rucks, thinking Hoff would then move to my forward line once I decided which of the big 2 was the better option.
I got scared off at the prospect that they both kill it and I couldn’t afford to bring in both and all the Gawndy folk would be miles ahead.
So I traded out Hoff for Gawn.

Kewbie Bear · 24/03/2019 at 11:26
Yeah he took a fair few and hit 80 points which is what investors would have hoped to see at a minimum, particularly as he does not normally score well against the Hawks.

TOPHAWK1 · 24/03/2019 at 11:50
I was shocked to see how bad Oliver was yesterday. That is his lowest SC score for a very long time.I started with Brayshaw who was poor on the DE front, but can live with his 90 due to his lower price point. Running with Coniglio as captain today.

Russty_ · 24/03/2019 at 17:35
Great call this week T.H, Gongigliogs paying off nicely for ya!

TOPHAWK1 · 24/03/2019 at 18:02
Thanks Russsty. Very pleased. I did not have Cogs last year and it cost be badly. I had no choice but to give him a go and start him. For him to go north of 150 is brilliant. Hope Goldy can finish the job now against the dockers.

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 18:12
I wouldn’t mind Cogs instead of Merrett about now

Beezneez · 24/03/2019 at 18:44
See you're sitting on 2133 Hawk and with Goldy to come you're looking st a decebt round 1 score. Unfortunately I changed Goldy to Gawn on Thursday night and wished I hadn't cos could have used the cash on another premo.

Beezneez · 24/03/2019 at 18:22
Calvin from DT Talk had Cogs as captain. Wish I'd taken his sdvice although okay with loopholing Cripp's 126.

Hawk131415 · 24/03/2019 at 12:01
Feel ya Derek, but i went ber instead of coffee, that stuffs not good for ya, im having a shocker, will struggle to make 2000 , There will be a corrective!!!

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 12:10
But the Hawks beat the Crows…….. again

Hawk131415 · 24/03/2019 at 12:21
And lets face it, Thats all that really matters hey? LOL

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 12:28
Not a shocker yet, will see how my PODs do today, plus have Scott on field with Constable on bench.
I was more than happy with Dusty’s score considering the effort he put in, crouch, Cripps, Hurn, Kelly all did good. Grundy and Gawn will be ok and Danger and Heeney everyone has.
Oliver my only bad score, with C just made it worse than it is.
Rookies have been good, Gibbons only dud, but only a bench player.
Rocky, Bont, Sheed, Nank, Sloane, Hoff, Boak are all nominees for the ‘Stanton’ award. Most people will say they had them in their team at some stage during the pre season.
First week is ONLY injury trades.
Second week is Rookie correction trades.
Week 3 is hold.
Note: there is no sideways premium trading week.
Thanks fellas

Hawk131415 · 24/03/2019 at 12:41
Hahahahaha nice

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 12:44
The Stanton award, lol.
Can honestly say I only looked seriously at 2 of that list. Sheed for a bit but thought he would only be relevant in dream team so ditched that idea very quickly. Things change very quickly in a week though

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 12:57
Stanton would start every year on fire.

TOPHAWK1 · 24/03/2019 at 12:51
I have Rocky. At $405K a no brainer. LOL

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 13:36
Have Rocky too but ditched Sloane for him lmfao! Well….. moving on 😂

Shake_n_bake · 24/03/2019 at 13:48
I spruced Rocky a bit and u know what l took him out Friday.

Beezneez · 24/03/2019 at 18:25
Newman and Worpel are so tempting though but will wait another week to see who else pops up or whether they continue to score well

kinglear009 · 24/03/2019 at 12:52
Derek, I had it on Oliver too – had Crouch but two minutes before the bounce thought Oliver was the most dependable midfielder in my team. Sigh – at least Crouch did well but it stings

Rick Grimes · 24/03/2019 at 14:24
Yea he might be first kicked from my team. Just run the Hoff at r2.

Hawk131415 · 24/03/2019 at 13:43
Not sure Holty but Parker is 36 at the first change,

Hawk131415 · 24/03/2019 at 13:44
Glad i kept him

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 14:37
Draft is harder for C. Difficult to loophole. You need a perma C

JohnDJ59 · 24/03/2019 at 14:41
Think I'll just put it on Bont and leave it there.

hedski · 24/03/2019 at 14:49
I had my captains as Grundy and Gawn in my two leagues.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 24/03/2019 at 17:34
Happy to trade gibbs or mcbags for worpel
Looks like u could do with an extra mid or two and I could do with one more fwd or def.

Ja191 · 24/03/2019 at 14:29
if he's playing his mid role its 50/50 cause of injury for me, if he's not then no chance

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 14:36
Mundy is 100% midfield.
Walters mainly forward.
Ross said his main midfield will be Fyfe, Mundy and Brayshaw.

dontblushbaby · 24/03/2019 at 14:55
I have both , it will be interesting if Balta takes Rances spot

JohnDJ59 · 24/03/2019 at 14:33
Thinking the same thing, it was always between those two for F4, I just picked the wrong one.

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 14:34
Do you have Drew in midfield? You can go Billings to Sheed.

AuroraBorealis?! · 24/03/2019 at 15:51
Yeah good call Derek, i'm a little reticent to pick Sheed until i know how Gaff being back in the side effects his output but i will consider him

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 14:32
I was recommending Rozee instead of Collins. Same price but has DPP. I didn’t see Port’s game but heard he did well and has a lot of improvement

Russty_ · 24/03/2019 at 14:35
Wish I'd listened to you Derek, what a steaming pile of crud Collins is delivering. He's making my bad first week much worse.

JohnDJ59 · 24/03/2019 at 14:38
That's at least one thing I did right, I didn't want to pay more than 150k on a defence rookie and a GC one at that.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 14:54
yeah I never pay high on rookie unless he is a midfielder and deserves the hype

TOPHAWK1 · 24/03/2019 at 15:13
Collins is an absolute dud. Done SFA. I dodged him fortunately, but I am looking to get Newman soon as well. I would consider raising some cash by downgrading Fyfe. He is still slightly risky with that elbow. If you are quick you still consider Zerrett or even a Tim Taranto. Jared Polec could be a sneaky POD too. Then next week turf Collins out and bring in Newman. Good luck mate.

Beezneez · 24/03/2019 at 18:10
Better wait to see what Fyfe scores – thinking it will be okay.

BlueBaggerJosh · 24/03/2019 at 19:39
Lucky i didn't punt Fyfe, put him Captain too!

Beezneez · 24/03/2019 at 19:44
89 at half time. Think you might have to reconsider Hawk. That Roman guy that plys for NM has done an acl i.e Biggus Dickus Vickers Willus.

Hawk131415 · 24/03/2019 at 14:58
Yep, Grawndy get 1 more week.
!!

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 15:03
yeah agree. One more week, may have to off load just one of these uber expensive pricks for Nank or Goldy. Think this 666 rule has closed the gap on Grundy Gawn vs the next 3-4 ruckman significantly

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 16:45
Grundy missed an easy set shot from 20m out

Hayden · 24/03/2019 at 19:29
And another snap from 10m out too.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 19:47
Yeah but these ruck scores…. I can't see a Ruckman scoring 140+ too often this year if this is the actual trend

The Unsullied · 25/03/2019 at 09:43
Gawns last 4 games including finals 2018 average of 100

JohnDJ59 · 24/03/2019 at 15:11
They play for GC.

Maverick_ · 24/03/2019 at 15:40
Which for Collins should mean plenty of opportunity to score playing defence

Russty_ · 24/03/2019 at 15:55
5 and 4 possessions Mav, didn't even make his prediction, thought he'd get plenty of it too in def at the GC…not so though

dontblushbaby · 24/03/2019 at 16:00
Collins went off with a leg injury late in Q4 but he was only trying to spoil the ball anyway ,not real good for SC

JohnDJ59 · 24/03/2019 at 16:03
I prefer the more mobile players, not mad about key position players.

Connor · 24/03/2019 at 15:57
Imagine if Burgess took that grab and converted in the last minute! Might have ended up with a passable score…
But Burgess playing a key forward role for GCS was never going to produce many points

hedski · 24/03/2019 at 16:04
I'll be monitoring Wilke and Scrimshaw next week, could be a double corrective come round 3.

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 16:42
I was very keen on Wilkie when Robertson went down. Had I’m until a minute before the hawks game, when scrimshaw to be safe.

hedski · 24/03/2019 at 16:53
I didn't see enough of Wilkie in JLT and couldn't afford Scrim over Burgess.
We have another round to watch anyway.

hedski · 24/03/2019 at 16:54
Hold, we have a free hit next week

Nice_Person · 24/03/2019 at 17:56
He got 88 didn't he?

_Kyle · 24/03/2019 at 18:22
My bad yeah 88. I tend to get my acores off docter supercoach on facebook. Shows 78 at FT there. 88 looks a lot better to me

Nice_Person · 24/03/2019 at 21:20
He also went at 85% de

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 18:07
5 handballs in the second half. Oh dear. Essendon looks horrible

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 18:08
I made a big change yesterday
Had Zerrett and Sloane
But switched up to have Fyfe and Rocky instead. "Time will tell" as they say

TommyC99 · 24/03/2019 at 18:03
Taylor is 268k mate. You wouldnt be downgrading to him from Collins

Nice_Person · 24/03/2019 at 18:11
LeBron is the GOAT

GloryDays94 · 24/03/2019 at 18:08
1970 with Goldstein and Mundy to play

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 18:11
You are onto a cracking score well done mate

GloryDays94 · 24/03/2019 at 18:14
Didn't loop Cripps and went Danger as captain as well…. but can't complain much

Vinny · 24/03/2019 at 18:11
Im sitting on 2006 with just scott to play. Hopefully I am par.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 18:19
think that's a solid score coming Vinny

Beezneez · 24/03/2019 at 18:19
2125

JohnDJ59 · 24/03/2019 at 18:25
2070 all up.

Mystic_Mac · 24/03/2019 at 18:53
1995 with Fyfe and Goldy to go

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 19:04
huge!

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 18:11
His thrust per second is high
Too bad Zerrett was the female 😂

DEE · 24/03/2019 at 18:15
Mr. Coniglio, he come my gym…. He bloody lock, wellkkkum!

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 18:16
At least wait after rd2 but the golden rule is to not waste trades on premium players unless they have a 3 week or more injury

DEE · 24/03/2019 at 19:00
Thanks for the reply Calint, would you have Simpson and Newman in your team?

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 19:38
Simpson tbh
I have had him 4/5 last seasons but not this year. He will still be a top 10 defender easy if he plays every game. Don't worry mate

Sharkmove_King · 24/03/2019 at 21:34
Some people care about having 2 from the same team on the same line but I don't, as long as there's not too many from the same bye. Then again, alot of people don't care about the byes. Having 2 would be better than ditching Simpson imo.
I have Whitfield & Williams down back if it makes you feel better.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 18:15
can guarantee that someone has 2300+ Rd1
Happens almost every year

TommyC99 · 24/03/2019 at 19:35
I guess it would depend on bye structure. But i wouldnt be trading a premo down to Newman or sideways trading him after 1 week.

TommyC99 · 24/03/2019 at 23:20
Oops that was meant for the comment above Re Newman

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 20:29
Yep. I ended up with 2216 with Grundy and Gawn as C. I did look at moving Grundy for Goldy but decided not to. People might think unlucky but in hindsight, I’ve been very lucky as if I did go that way, I would have bought in Oliver and Greene and let go of Sloane and Moore.

The Unsullied · 25/03/2019 at 09:45
Top teams after week 1 full of mid pricers. They will want every one of their 30 trades.

Beezneez · 25/03/2019 at 11:13
Noticed most of the top teams went without Grawndy giving them extra cash to splurge on other lines. They managed to pick a lot of the top players – Macrae, Lloyd, Fyfe, Rockliff, Sloane, Sheed, Newman Worpel etc. Be nice to have 6-8 trades this week.

JohnDJ59 · 24/03/2019 at 18:27
Around the same as you, 2070.

johnno2908 · 24/03/2019 at 18:35
2129, so not end of the world. So many turds.
Thinking it’s going to be an interesting couple of weeks trying to get Rocky and Newman in, and correcting the rookies I got wrong.

Darren · 24/03/2019 at 18:35
2066 with Nancy Gawn as Capt and Collins on field could of been 2250 without the stupid on field and captain decisions

DEE · 24/03/2019 at 19:01
2022…. definitely below par!

Finnius · 24/03/2019 at 19:30
2072. Pretty standard week but a few premo scores in the 80s was annoying. It is only round one but still frustrating. Need to hold firm though.

cashcows · 24/03/2019 at 19:50
2145

ThatsGoldJerry · 24/03/2019 at 20:03
2215..I hope that is just above average..Oliver and Gawn my only premo let downs..Sheed was awesome as was cogs

_Kyle · 24/03/2019 at 20:19
“Just above average”…mate 2200+ is a mammoth score. Id expect that to be top 500 easily with the amount of premo sputs and rookie turds this week

Sheeds · 24/03/2019 at 18:33
Spot on Steeeeve Merrett has never been a top 10 mid and he never will be. It's only ever been hype from the HSun wally Robbo. Very misleading for supercoaches who don't do their own research and expect unbiased accurate reports from the competition organiser. I've even seen people here call him a star! Lol Starfish maybe but never a footy star

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 18:59
He averaged 114 from round 10 last year. That would put him top 10.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 18:36
copped critisizm last year for not being able to break a tag. It showed today all the same… Zerrett to MCrouch, Sloane or Rockliff is valid imo if….. you think you have no other problems in your line up.

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 21:05
Hi Steeeve. He actually looks slow and unfit. He has had a underdone preseason. I actually rate him but knowing the trouble he had scared me off selecting him. His fitness will come back but how long it takes is the big question imo

Steeeve · 24/03/2019 at 21:20
Agreed, looked terrible. He has one more chance this week.

Derek · 25/03/2019 at 09:55
it is tough playing GWS in Sydney. Hopefully they can put in a better effort at home against the saints next week.
Merrett was 47 at half time, had 5 handballs only in second half.

Prizza · 24/03/2019 at 18:55
Think you be top 500 with that Rick

TOPHAWK1 · 24/03/2019 at 19:06
Good stuff Rick. I had a good first round too. I am on 2115 with Goldy to go. Hopefully we get a nice start this year in the rankings.

Ja191 · 24/03/2019 at 18:54
saw that too lets hope his shoe came off or something lol

KSinny · 24/03/2019 at 18:54
Yeh I noticed him reached down for his foot, hopefully nothing comes of it

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 21:10
I just got to 2k. Oh well.

Russty_ · 24/03/2019 at 21:21
We must be about 3 over par Derek, barely scraped to 2k also.

Derek · 25/03/2019 at 09:53
had a few bogies on the back 9, dropped a few shots with merrett and Mundy, but sunk a couple of long puts (drew and Scott) to stay in contention.

TommyC99 · 24/03/2019 at 19:25
Neither. Its round 1. Grundy's pre season wasn't perfect but his score was brought down by 5 FA. gawn is probably the one to be a little more worried about as it seems Port figured him out. But Ryder and Lycett are not bad rucks so you'd have to give them some credit. If he looks the same next week, then i'd be more concerned but definitely hold off this week. Goldy isn't exactly rucking against much either.

GloryDays94 · 24/03/2019 at 19:32
Goldy is rucking against a beast mate.. what game are you watching

TommyC99 · 24/03/2019 at 19:41
I mean, Darcy might be tall but its no secret around the ground isnt his strong suit, which Goldy specializes in. And Goldy has matched him in the ruck as well

JEL · 24/03/2019 at 20:01
Unless you have a heap of trades to do, if your rooks are on the bench, then there is no advantage it doing a trade this week.
Rookies are for cash generation, and there is no price change until they have played their third game.
Wait until after their second game and see how it looks.

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 21:08
Next week. Wait for them to be on bubble and named in team before trading

Mystic_Mac · 24/03/2019 at 19:47
Beast!

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 19:56
Fyfe and Scott taking my score to the very high 2100's by the looks of it.

TommyC99 · 24/03/2019 at 20:04
Went fyfe to Macrae friday night. I had a feeling Fyfe would kill it but didn't think i could start without Macrae. I'm annoyed but i dont regret the decision. Swans was the one match i was particularly worried about in Macrae's run early and he still managed to do well. He is looking very ominous against blues and Suns but Fyfe does also have a soft early run.

Ja191 · 24/03/2019 at 19:50
top 250-500?

DEE · 24/03/2019 at 20:05
Top 100

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 21:07
Top 2k
There are always big scores

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 19:53
Firstly fixing up rookies is for round 2 not round 1
Secondly sideways rookies is important if say for example both are 123k but one is avg 80 and the other 50 after 2 games. Early Cash generation is very important.
Thirdly a rookie who scores 30 then 100 is far more valuable than a rookie who scores 100 then 30

JohnDJ59 · 24/03/2019 at 20:02
I should have been more to the point, my main question is why are people fine with side trading rookies compared to premos, still two trades, just different types of players, not to worried about what round it is. I'm happy with my rookies so no need to trade just yet.

_Kyle · 24/03/2019 at 20:22
Im not sure of anyone who is happy with sideways trading rookies or premos in round 1. Barring injuries i dont think anyone should be making any trades at all until round 2 at the earliest

JohnDJ59 · 24/03/2019 at 20:38
You still haven't told me why sideways trading premos is frowned upon, but rookie trading isn't. I know people would prefer not to do it, but there seems to be a different attitude towards the two types of sideways trading, when both types could be improving your team one way or another.

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 21:04
If your rookies are perfect, I think I got them ok, maybe scrimshaw to Wilkie, and you have no injury problems, then you can side trade a premium. I think that is the order you should look at. Not this week though, give it another week unles for injury.

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 20:28
It’s a fair question. I think a few guys in JR did that last year, decided to just go for it, but ran out of trades with many weeks to go.
This time of year you just forget how valuable trades become later in the season. There will be injuries to deal with guaranteed
The other theory is, it’s just one round, and by round 5 it is long forgotten and the guy you traded out is flying
I’m like you, would love to trade my 2 dud PODs Merrett and Mundy, but I’ll hold and think about the future

JohnDJ59 · 24/03/2019 at 21:05
Hi Derek, I think you got my question the best, I know that we need the rookies for cash generation, so we need to have the best that we can get, which is why that type of trading is accepted, where as too much premo sideways trading can ruin your season, but I still feel one or two premo trades early when you know you have stuffed up doesn't hurt.

Loop · 25/03/2019 at 04:04
A few years back when the trade picker was online I was watching the guy who was coming first. He made premo sideways trades in the early rounds. I had a look at his results later in the year and it looked like he ran out of trades early but still managed to finish around the 500 mark which really surprised me. I agree with your thinking, I'm looking at midpricers tho, I'm concerned about my Mills selection.

JohnDJ59 · 25/03/2019 at 12:29
Mills is a worry if he's going to stay in defence, especially when there are so many good mid priced defenders.

Derek · 25/03/2019 at 12:30
i think SC_wow traded pretty hard early last year, maybe more because of injury, was ranked very well early but just ran out of trades.
i guess if you treat it as if it is an injury, you are ok with trading now.
3 years ago i had a year where i missed every injury and went to the last week of the year with 2 trades left. it is all about burning trades on injuries
If we jumped from Dusty to Macrae early last year it would have been a different story

Beezneez · 25/03/2019 at 13:23
I think the guy who won last year ran out of trades.

_Kyle · 24/03/2019 at 21:13
Pretty much sums it up perfectly

TommyC99 · 24/03/2019 at 19:55
I think if you can avoid it, you dont sideways after 1 round. Unless you had all the wrong rookies and you need to get 3-4 in by round 3 and you have no choice but to start now, you should be waiting a week. Anything can happen during that week. They could either get injured or have a mare and get unluckily dropped and your stuck with a non playing rookie and youre a trade down.

JohnDJ59 · 25/03/2019 at 12:41
I agree about the trading of rookies Tommy, it's better to wait the two weeks, until they are on the bubble and they are picked for their third game. Luckily I'm happy with all my rookies, which I tend to get right most years, it's usually the one or two premium players that I get wrong that sets me back at the start.

Rockburner · 24/03/2019 at 20:48
Only trade this week should be Rance and Doedee owners

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 20:50
Hi john. IMO, changing the rookies is fine as there is an unknown with them. You have done your research on your premo’s and you have picked them for a reason. If we all start wanting to trade them after 1 bad game, Everyone would run out of trades.

JohnDJ59 · 25/03/2019 at 12:47
Agree Holty, if people went mad and kept sideways trading their premos during the season, it would end very badly.

Derek · 24/03/2019 at 21:06
Who would you trade out?

Russty_ · 24/03/2019 at 21:06
Who are you thinking of dumping John, and for who? you might regret going a trade week 1, but it depends who it is.

JohnDJ59 · 25/03/2019 at 13:11
Hey Derek and Russty, if I was to do a rage trade it would be Clarry to Fyfe or Bont, but only because it was between those three for my last premium spot in my midfield and I now feel I might have got it wrong. I knew Fyfe and Bont could both go big, but was worried about Fyfe's elbow and not playing the JLT games, while Bont could also drop the odd low score as well as his high ones. I looked upon Oliver as a consistent scorer, someone who would range around the 90 – 130 scores and he seemed to get through the JLT games alright after his shoulder opp. So what the hell happened to him on the weekend, he usually plays well against Geelong who we play next round, so I will hold for now, but if he spuds up again, I will have to seriously think about trading him out.

Derek · 25/03/2019 at 13:37
I did notice Oliver’s TOG up to 3/4 time was only 73%. I didn’t see game though. Did he get injured?
I had Neale but changed to Oliver after JLT
Bont is going to play forward a lot this year. When they are winning he will score well. When the ball isn’t down there not good.
Fyfe looked awesome but I still worry about his body. Not just elbow. He was struggling at end of 3rd quarter and didn’t play much of the last. Game was over.
Cogs looked good, but no Kelly.
To me standout for the week was Cripps. In a team beaten, he should have even gone higher.

JohnDJ59 · 25/03/2019 at 14:16
I don't think he was injured Derek, just underdone, which could be a concern if it takes three to four games to get it together.

Derek · 25/03/2019 at 14:34
I might catch reply of game during the week

Sharkmove_King · 24/03/2019 at 21:18
There's many ways to play this game John and I do agree with you. Having said that the most important thing as this time is cash generation.
So the first thing people would look to do is get the right rookies. Let's assume, you have all the good ones. I can't see no reason why you wouldn't sideways trade a premium before Round 3.
Players improve, roles change, rules change, etc. Even though we can check a players scoring history, those 2 games before price changes is some of the best Intel we will receive.
I agree with the other guys also when they say wait till Round 3, not this week unless injury. But, if Preuss is named I'm ditching Gawn. 99% of people will tell me I'm stupid, but like I said there is many ways to play this game. Why wouldn't I wait a week? Because there might be 2 things I wanna change the following week.

JohnDJ59 · 24/03/2019 at 21:41
Very well put Shark.

The Ranger · 24/03/2019 at 23:31
When you pick a premo it's because you have a quantity of evidence to suggest that it's a good pick.
Much more evidence than when you pick a rookie.
So I'm happy to jump off a rookie because I have a small sample of evidence to work with and it's always a bit of a punt until they start playing at AFL level, I'm less likely to jump off a premo because the evidence suggest he's a premo and over the course of the season he will prove to be a good pick.
I'll stick with them until I have the rookies sorted and only then look at what has to be described as a luxury trade.

JohnDJ59 · 25/03/2019 at 00:34
A good summary Ranger.

Teddy021 · 25/03/2019 at 07:23
Corrective trades on rookies should only be done after Round 2, and only when they are locked to play Round 3. This is to ensure that your get the optimal price increase for cash generation.
Corrective or sideways trades on premos are considered a waste because you do not get any financial gain, only points. Chasing points can be very risky as no player is guaranteed to perform at max level every round. Should only do this if completely necessary ie. Injuries or suspension.

Rick · 25/03/2019 at 12:12
Golden Rule: Trust your premos, correct your rookies.

Derek · 25/03/2019 at 12:38
before anyone trades Grundy or gawn. Jump on Footywire and have a look at last years numbers for them. just to refresh your memory.
Grundy started with a 95. followed it up with: 139, 154 & 141 the next three weeks
Gawn had a dip in round 2 and scored 97. followed it up with 117, 112, 151, 168, 127, 148… insane numbers.

Beezneez · 25/03/2019 at 13:34
Good info Derek. Hope history repeats.

JohnDJ59 · 24/03/2019 at 20:11
Wait a round, but should still be a good trade.

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 20:45
injury history as well. I said I wouldn’t start him based on this. He is a absolute gun though

_Kyle · 24/03/2019 at 21:17
The pre season isnt what kept me off him, its the fact that hes never played 22 games in a season before. The choice came down to either neale or fyfe and for those who remember i was right on the neale bandwagon since pre season last year and stuck to my guns again this year with yough lachy. Il happily take the 127

KSinny · 24/03/2019 at 20:33
Wow that sucks for whoever has him, especially as captain

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 20:34
That sux Shake. I don’t have him but feel bad for all that took the punt on him.

Shake_n_bake · 24/03/2019 at 20:34
Back on sat on the pine for nearly 10 mins 😞

BlueBaggerJosh · 24/03/2019 at 20:38
Not watching, is it because of the new bs rule?

JohnDJ59 · 24/03/2019 at 20:48
Probably, it happened to Oliver in the second half, was stuck on the bench for too long. The AFL need to admit this no runner rule is not working, I know they use signs in soccer in the premier league, but our game is very different.

Shake_n_bake · 24/03/2019 at 21:12
Neil might be able to comfirm but l heard he suffered in the heat come the last qtr.

Russty_ · 24/03/2019 at 20:57
He came back on Shake, i'll take his score thank you very much, what a champ, saved my score from being terrible, Goldy good too.
400 from my last 2.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 21:09
Yeah 150 is totally fine 🔥

Shake_n_bake · 24/03/2019 at 21:13
Swapped back to Mundy from Walters just before bounce

Sharkmove_King · 24/03/2019 at 21:21
At least you've kept your sense of humour lol

NoLanguage96 · 25/03/2019 at 00:23
I was tossing up between Fyfe and Oliver for weeks and went with Oliver too zzz… Hopefully Clarry comes good!

JohnDJ59 · 25/03/2019 at 00:40
It was between Oliver, Fyfe and Bont for my last mid spot and I didn't decide until very late in the piece to pick Clarry.

Russty_ · 24/03/2019 at 21:28
Feelin the same pain DBB, I had all the wrong rookies on and all the big scorers off the field.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 21:33
Tom Lynch and Balta my only poop scores. If Lynch got a respectful 75 and Balta even a 30 would have taken my 2172 to 2201

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 21:34
i Was lucky BBB. Only one I missed out on was Scott.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 24/03/2019 at 21:37
Normally happens rd1
Bit of guess work.
Walsh was always gonna be on field ahead of Scott.
Nice little earner there.
I had petr… on instead of parker
Was toss a coin landed on tails, should have been heads. 🙄

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 21:29
i think 2100 is above par. Seen lots of scores below 2050 in my leagues

KSinny · 24/03/2019 at 21:33
Yeh that's a good score man I only got 2086

NoLanguage96 · 24/03/2019 at 21:35
I'm pretty happy with a 2184. Some puss scores but overall compared to some horror stories I've heard a decent result

The Ranger · 24/03/2019 at 23:44
Weird round to try and say what par is AB.
2100+ seems not too bad considering some of the under performing premos.
Wonder when the last time was that Danger, Gawn and Grundy all failed to ton up in the same round.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 21:36
2172

TOPHAWK1 · 24/03/2019 at 21:46
Nice score mate. Feels awesome to start the season with a decent score. Had plenty of seasons where I was sulking over 3 or so duds after round 1.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 21:49
in these first 5 rounds 2100 plus is always a bonus when relying on 7-8 on field rookies. Well done with your 2217 TOPHAWK

Harley · 24/03/2019 at 21:39
2280

ZzZCalintZzZ · 24/03/2019 at 21:49
Crazy score!

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 21:55
Awesome score Harley. Who you have in your team and more importantly, who didn’t you start?

KSinny · 24/03/2019 at 21:40
2086

_Kyle · 24/03/2019 at 21:48
1988. Cost myself 170 points with C grundy and drew and parker on the pine…balta murdered me

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 21:56
Damn hawk you just pipped me. 2216

TOPHAWK1 · 24/03/2019 at 22:05
Great minds think alike! Great start. But I get 1 more point than you! Sorry about that mate.

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 22:24
lol. Yeah the C decision ultimately decided my downfall.😔

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 22:25
And nice work with Cogs as well

Northerner · 24/03/2019 at 22:03
2215 with Gawn as captain. All my <30% owned pods did ok. Whitfield, Hurn, Fyfe, Neale, M Crouch, Sheed, Dunkley, Boak. All my >30% owned premiums were ordinary except for Cripps. Missed Parker, so he will be on watch for one more week. Have just enough to go Gibbons up to him using a Drew swing. And I missed Wilkie and Joyce but they don’t appear must haves yet and need another week.

The Ranger · 24/03/2019 at 23:17
2109 with Drew and Scott on the bench sucks a bit.
Plenty of under performing premos everywhere.
I'll be trying not to trade this week and backing them in.

NoLanguage96 · 25/03/2019 at 00:15
2184

DavidC · 25/03/2019 at 07:57
2217 for me as well. Must have the same teams.

Derek · 25/03/2019 at 08:27
1994
Might be my first sub 2k start to season.
Mundy, Merrett, Grundy, Gawn and Oliver as Captain
Did manage to have Drew and Scott on the field
No trades this week.
Got all the good rookies
No injuries.
Shake beats me by 6 in Draft. Came down to I had Mundy +29 vs Walters. Not happy with Mundy this morning.

Shake_n_bake · 25/03/2019 at 10:26
did see that this morning Derek close draft game. Swapped back to Mundy from Walters last minute but still think Mundy was robbed. l got 2099 with Gawn as capt not great. Miss you in Cazaly league.

Derek · 25/03/2019 at 10:36
had you covered at 3/4 time. Walters was 11 ahead of Mundy, giving me a lead of 18. the ball was in fremantles forward line all of the last quarter, it was just a matter of time before Walters kicked a couple and got you home.

SamuraiPizzaCat · 25/03/2019 at 12:30
1970 for me, not the best but happy enough with my team overall, hopefully grundy/gawn/oliver are better this week.. had grundy as captain

TOPHAWK1 · 24/03/2019 at 21:56
That's what trades are for. To build your side. If you need to pull trades early, then you do it. I reckon if you do not have Drew, (M Parker), Constable, and Scott and you own Collins then IMO you need to trade this week. Nothing wrong with that at all. Collins is an expensive rook who has done SFA in JLT and now round 1. Just take care of it. Good luck mate.

Twilightingale · 24/03/2019 at 23:42
No one picked Libba viewing him as a keeper. Or no one should have.
If you were to pick him, it would be to make some money while scoring more than what a rookie would have. Nothing has changed in 1 round to trade Libba out.
Although If it's the only way to generate cash to go Collins to Moore and you can't downgrade Collins, then I think it's a worthwhile trade.
Would be advisable to wait another week though, round 1 scores affect 1 price change, round 2 scores affect 2 price changes. Rookie scores are unpredictable, Collins and Drew could easily reverse scores next week and you'll regret the trade.

Mick · 25/03/2019 at 08:58
Why Not trade Collins down to a Joyce or similar after this round if he’s your main issue. I have Moore, but don’t think he’s a must have by any stretch.

RoyWetard · 25/03/2019 at 11:33
It's an idea I'm looking at. It'll be between Ballard/Moore/Ridley/Wilkie/Joyce. The extra 100k could be very helpful.

COREYSC · 24/03/2019 at 23:12
2172 ok week In the end it was a low scoring one!

Nice_Person · 25/03/2019 at 20:30
The COG! What a jet!
PS beat you by 4 points

Holty01 · 24/03/2019 at 22:31
Let’s hope he can stay in one piece for you and the rest who have him.

leedy · 24/03/2019 at 22:37
ha yes … or not suspended … cheers

GloryDays94 · 24/03/2019 at 22:54
I'm not trading. Only one I will do next week is Joyce or Wilkie in for Burgess. And maybe Mundy if he spuds it again…. 73 is pathetic

Derek · 25/03/2019 at 08:17
I’m a bit worried Fremo’s Game is too fast for Mundy. He spent most of the day in the guts but was just watching Fyfe.

DavidC · 25/03/2019 at 07:52
Too early to be burning a trade mate. Hold fire until next week.

Twilightingale · 25/03/2019 at 15:42
Wouldn't trade Wilkie in this week. Brown to come in for either Wilkie or Joyce and Rowe, Marsh and Austin could be ready for selection in a couple of weeks. Not sure if they play but would put pressure on the current defenders to perform.

kinglear009 · 25/03/2019 at 01:02
I think we have similar tastes – I also got lured into Oliver as a Captain and man he burnt me! Midpricers all did fairly ordinary too but nothing catastrophic. Luckily it's Rd 1, which is barely reflected in $$$ movements and mostly in points, so lots of opportunity to catch up.

Tyruddanaut · 25/03/2019 at 16:36
I agree!!!! Especially that most trades involve Oliver, after one bad game

Maverick_ · 25/03/2019 at 19:18
I've seen alot of people jumping on westhoff from grundy/gawn.
he kicked 5 goals and two were crucial in the last qtr which would've inflated his score hugely….
goood luck to him doing that every week.
Madness!!

DavidC · 25/03/2019 at 07:49
Team sheets mean nothing as to where players play. He was a poor pick though, didn't show enough in JLT.

TOPHAWK1 · 25/03/2019 at 16:25
Never considered Collins. Does not look like he is ready to play at the Elite level just yet. There were alarm bells ringing during the JLT. At his elevated price there was just too much risk. Perhaps next year.

Steeeve · 25/03/2019 at 22:13
I'll give him one more week and if he stinks it up I'll move him on. Beauty of round 1 is scores barely affect price.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 25/03/2019 at 12:07
Cmon Rust!
We could have been #1. Lift! 🤣

Derek · 25/03/2019 at 12:20
your just lucky im not there dragging you down

Shake_n_bake · 25/03/2019 at 14:21
Maybe youll be back in 2020 Derek.

Browncow · 25/03/2019 at 15:45
I think it was me dragging Cazaly down in the early rounds last year until trading started. Great when every team sees it through to the end.

Russty_ · 25/03/2019 at 17:14
Yeah sorry fellas, all the wrong Rookies on field including Collins the spud, I shall Improve! 🙂

neil demons delight · 25/03/2019 at 12:28
good stuff boys Trigg did you do a deal on the two mids Check mine out NDD

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 25/03/2019 at 12:54
cant see anything mate in fins draft league
what did you have in mind?
probably gonna keep one of them now as zerrett just doenst look like it at the moment so will put him on the bench
but happy to trade gibbs as well

neil demons delight · 25/03/2019 at 16:32
all good Trigg nothing in mind yet

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 25/03/2019 at 20:17
Still happy to trade for lloyd

TOPHAWK1 · 25/03/2019 at 16:00
Good stuff! Glad I could make a nice but small contribution with my 2217. Best start for the TopHawks in years. Good luck all this season! TH

Derek · 25/03/2019 at 13:41
Shouldn’t really go a premium to him unless injury.
Only a mid pricer to sheed as a corrective. If you have a Mills who doesn’t get midfield next week.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 25/03/2019 at 14:13
Give him another week but if he continues along his scoring ways gotta have a good hard look b4 price rise.
Walshy maybe.

TommyC99 · 25/03/2019 at 14:34
Really hoping he has a down week because i dont have any way of bringing him in. Only got Moore as a mid pricer so i wont be able to bring him in

Sam_01 · 26/03/2019 at 08:35
Yeah agree tommy I have more and libba but no spare cash to id need to down grade one and trade the other to get him or drop Walsh to gibbons either way two trades burnt

Tyruddanaut · 25/03/2019 at 16:35
Similar to Webster as in he can play intercept or key defense. Role might change often

JohnDJ59 · 25/03/2019 at 14:08
Sparrow should keep his place for now, Viney shouldn't have played, didn't look the best at the end playing for Casey before round one and still didn't look right against Port. Having said that, I wouldn't do any of those trades just yet, Hoff isn't going to kick a bag of goals each week.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 25/03/2019 at 14:25
Disclaimer.
This is just John's opinion.
Please make up your own mind whether you follow this advice or not. 🤣

JohnDJ59 · 25/03/2019 at 15:08
Very good Trigga, we should put that at the end of all our comments.

Tyruddanaut · 25/03/2019 at 16:34
Give it another week before trading premos. Grundy and Gawn are likely to perform better

ZzZCalintZzZ · 25/03/2019 at 14:32
Even if they both don't average 120 this year which is highly likely I would think they are both still top 3 rucks this year and not worth burning the trade(s)

TommyC99 · 25/03/2019 at 14:32
I am very excited for this week for that very reason. On the SC facebook groups, ive seen so many people scoffing at those who have Gone Grawndy so im looking forward to their reactions this week as well as the people who have rage traded them out after 1 week.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 25/03/2019 at 14:35
Be a huge mistake to off load even 1 of them

Mystic_Mac · 25/03/2019 at 14:39
Agreed

One Touch Wonder · 25/03/2019 at 14:44
I didn’t start with either of them for my SHARK MOVE. So we are all happy, for now.

GloryDays94 · 25/03/2019 at 15:21
Idiots! All trading in Westhoff who won't kick a bag every week..

TommyC99 · 25/03/2019 at 16:52
Im intending on getting him at some stage in the fwd line and to also be ruck cover, but you'd be quite stupid to trade Gawn/Grundy to him

ZzZCalintZzZ · 25/03/2019 at 14:50
Did most of that half way through the 3rd qtr onwards. Game was already wide blown open before then. Fast starters almost always get the better live scaling

ZzZCalintZzZ · 25/03/2019 at 14:55
He had 1 kick 2 handballs after the 12 mins in the first qtr.
His 2 goals and 6 of his 10 tackles came after 19 mins in the third qtr till end of match.
Hope I helped

JEL · 25/03/2019 at 19:31
Yep, Balta to Parker the only trade on my radar.
Will see what next week brings before making the chop.

Maverick_ · 25/03/2019 at 19:48
i've had 24 hours to cool on a few decisions i was contemplating after a BAD round 1.
Now i may hold off on doing anything rash this week but on my radar is collins -> wilkie.
I'm not having a 190k def dishing that up weekly and losing $$$ but will just bench him for now and make that call after Rd2.

Northerner · 25/03/2019 at 20:01
Maverick. There’s Wilkie and Joyce. Joyce actually had 18 possies for 67 while Wilkie scored 70 from 11. Neither had good PPM in the JLT. Also a new def rookie could be named this week who racks it up and you can wait a further week to get them on the bubble, you just never know what an extra week’s data provides.

Browncow · 25/03/2019 at 16:05
After worrying about forward rooks all pre season suddenly the backs are looking more fragile. Drew looked pretty good at the weekend but Hore could a concern.

Sharkmove_King · 25/03/2019 at 16:09
May, Oscar & Frost would be a very tall backlkne, most likely one of them go (probably Frost) before Hore.
Drew would be extremely stiff if he got dropped.
I'm not worried about those 2

Tyruddanaut · 25/03/2019 at 16:33
After Drew’s game…. no

Tyruddanaut · 25/03/2019 at 16:32
Nooooooo!!!!!
Wait one more week. Don’t burn unnecessary trades

FearTheBeard · 25/03/2019 at 16:51
So tempted.
Had them both in my original team before deadline and then ……. out lol.

Rick Grimes · 25/03/2019 at 17:32
Who you dumping for them? So far we have a sample size of one round to go on. If you start chopping and changing on that basis, you'll be out of trades by the end of the byes. Last week is gone and you can't get those points back.

TOPHAWK1 · 25/03/2019 at 20:22
Already got Rocky. Sheed will be given another audition this week. If he goes well again, I will snaffle him going into round 3. Welcome!

FearTheBeard · 25/03/2019 at 20:27
I had Libba for one I was looking at switching out. I know he did ok. I know he is a cash cow. Just I see these 2 making a lot more money AND potential to be keepers…. Can't ignore Sheed any more surely. I am spewing I talked myself out of him :||||

Holty01 · 25/03/2019 at 18:46
Yep agreed.

Steeeve · 25/03/2019 at 22:11
What about zach merrett though? Looks way off the pace.
Last year Zorko started really badly but at least he was getting tagged. Merrett isn't worth tagging right now. Or keeping in my side…

Derek · 25/03/2019 at 22:45
Merrett was 46sc st half time.
Second half he, and Essendon gave up

Maverick_ · 25/03/2019 at 19:21
2 of them hopefully hawk

hedski · 25/03/2019 at 19:24
Only one Hawk?

Hawk131415 · 25/03/2019 at 19:26
Build it and they will come, lol

Hawk131415 · 25/03/2019 at 19:28
Whats this garbage about a skin irritation last week and thats why it was bandaged above the knee??

hedski · 25/03/2019 at 19:44
Just heard he had a boil on his leg

Hawk131415 · 25/03/2019 at 19:52
Oh a boil? Cheerss Hed

hedski · 25/03/2019 at 20:07
Yeah they said it on talking footy on 7mate.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 25/03/2019 at 20:14
Well he was certainly off the boil

Hawk131415 · 25/03/2019 at 20:21
LOL

Hazey · 25/03/2019 at 21:46
Geez… He might get squeezed out this week?

Russty_ · 25/03/2019 at 22:05
Maybe Port were targeting his Boil and poking it at every opportunity…:)

JohnDJ59 · 25/03/2019 at 20:39
No better place to start at than Geelong, it will be a us v them atmosphere. All three games between the two of them last year were huge, this one will be no different.

hedski · 25/03/2019 at 20:42
Go them (cats)

Holty01 · 25/03/2019 at 20:45
I don’t care who wins. I just want to see a good game and see Danger and Gawn go huge

JohnDJ59 · 25/03/2019 at 20:46
And Clarry. 123 and 127 in the home and away games last year, not sure about the final.

Holty01 · 25/03/2019 at 20:51
Being selfish, I hope he doesn’t. I haven’t started him so another bad game and I can pick him up cheap. But unfortunately, I think Clarrys dominance is highly dependent on Gawn getting the ball to him. So if Gawn dominates, I think so will Clarry. So I don’t win😩

JohnDJ59 · 25/03/2019 at 21:00
Hey Holty you win by Big Max getting his act together, if that means Clarry goes with him, well and good. Oliver will still go down in price due to last weekends game, if they keep up their low scores, you won't want either of them.

Holty01 · 25/03/2019 at 21:04
And if Gawn has a big one, I’m sure the Brayshaw owners will be very happy as well. Plus we know Clarry will come good sooner or later. He is too good a player to not get back to his best

Shake_n_bake · 26/03/2019 at 14:40
And if Pruss is selected this weekend?!

Holty01 · 25/03/2019 at 20:56
Lol same here Hawk. Not brave enough to put the C on him but willing to use the vc

RoyWetard · 25/03/2019 at 21:03
Currently thinking Grundy into Rocky but could end up going Rocky into Cogs/Danger. Rocky's in prime position to be the most traded in player after R2.

JohnDJ59 · 25/03/2019 at 21:07
The C is currently on Danger, the last two home and away games against the Dees he's scored 138 & 126.

RoyWetard · 25/03/2019 at 21:16
The concern with going Rocky into Danger is that you'll have to decide after 3 and a bit QTR'S if you're gonna take Rocky's score as the PTA/CAR and GEE/MEL games overlap.

JohnDJ59 · 25/03/2019 at 21:25
You should know by then, if he's over 100 at 3q time take it.

Shake_n_bake · 26/03/2019 at 14:38
Curnow could get the job on him.

Very possible Shake. Rocky at his prime 3 or so seasons ago had 49 touches against Carlton. Ed Curnow and Carlton had no answers. Might be proven wrong. Worth the punt as VC only.

I really don’t see Newman as that good of an option long term. He’ll have give or take a similar average to smith

Hi Roy, I also have Collins unfortunately!…I reckon wait a week with him cause he did score a 93 in JLT.
If he does anything less than 75 for me, he's gone.

Collins to Drew via DPP
Do you have Burgess, Moore or Rozee in forward line?
