Agreed, luckily this year I didn’t fall for the hype

Lazza · 30/03/2019 at 21:39
But what a season that was … probably never to be repeated…
looks like my two correctives this week will be Martin and Yeo.. to Fyfe and …. don’t know who yet..

kinglear009 · 31/03/2019 at 11:52
Yeo still looks good – got tagged by one of the best and 7 frees against, I repeat, 7. More likely to have been a once off than Dustin 'what's a tackle' Martin

Streaker · 04/04/2019 at 00:03
Neale if you can or M Crouch or Sloanedog Millionaire

Russty_ · 30/03/2019 at 22:50
I went off Dusty when I heard about his mental health battles he's been having.

Derek · 31/03/2019 at 13:20
I thought, great he is over them. Maybe he isn’t
He did get a close tag and Richmond got killed
Won’t be getting rid of him yet

Streaker · 04/04/2019 at 00:04
DRUGS? So over this mental health bullshit. It's a slap in the face who really have mental health issues. The AFL is oiss weak.

DavidC · 31/03/2019 at 09:24
What, you didn't trade them out after last week?

Derek · 31/03/2019 at 13:22
Oliver is a freak
Had C on him last week, just happy to have him this week

COREYSC · 30/03/2019 at 21:32
I agree but I’m a Geelong supporter;)

Russty_ · 30/03/2019 at 22:52
Yeah Stewart said before the season started he's looking forward to his best year so far, and Dahl seems to be fitting in really well at the Cats and is re-invigorated, Kelly's just a gun and getting better, Cats could be serious contenders this year. Great rookies too.

Patch · 31/03/2019 at 21:47
Post MaSlaone did pop in to tell us he'd be an excellent pick… he wasn't even on my radar

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 21:55
I think he's an excellent pick, but will wait to see how Touhy gets back affects him, if he gets back.

AuroraBorealis?! · 31/03/2019 at 00:49
Wouldn't say they "toweled" up Collingwood, they took part in a very close contest and just got the win in the final moment. Either team could've taken the 4 points then

Dave2008 · 01/04/2019 at 16:05
Exactly Pies lost it Geelong didn't win it. Cats very good team though.

Lazza · 31/03/2019 at 10:07
One unbelievable stat … Melbourne won the FWD 50 entries 72 to 48 and lose by 14 goals … that’s one helluva back line performance..

Derek · 31/03/2019 at 13:25
Cats do that. They win games they shouldn’t
Imagine what they would do with a decent Ruck
Kelly is now a must have.
Touhy will effect Stewart’s scoring

Dave2008 · 01/04/2019 at 16:10
Pies lost it. Towel up is 4 goals plus surely? Cats look good so far though.

Liddicoat Adam · 01/04/2019 at 11:42
Happened to alot of us me thinks

kinglear009 · 31/03/2019 at 11:53
At that price point, consistency looks like Moore and risk is everywhere so good luck, Ballard had the best final quarter I've seen in a while but not sure that translates to SC points

Tbag86 · 31/03/2019 at 08:23
I’m seriously considering it Simon. I have no doubt he’ll come good eventually and could be worth holding from that regard.. but I think it’s worth capitalising on the cheap mid pricers who are going to go up a crap load in value and produce better output while Heeney falls in price.
For that reason, I’m considering:
Heeney -> Darcy Moore
Mid rookie -> Rockliff or Sheed
Some might say it’s burning trades but even if Rocky or Sheed taper off in form – makes good bench cover later in the season!

Emma · 31/03/2019 at 08:51
I would hold Henney he is in 50 per cent of teams and is a forward I still think he will be a top 6 forward.

Derek · 31/03/2019 at 13:29
Rocky and Sheed are unlikely to be top 8, too early to be thinking about bench cover.
Wines and Gaff will effect their scores, not sure how much.
Heeney is a gun and will come good, but if you are trading him, just get Kelly

dashiz · 31/03/2019 at 22:23
I'm giving serious thought to going Heeney to Boak to save 51K also Heeny expected to drop 30K in value after round 3, Boak set to increase 30K so it would be a double saving.
The only worry i have is that Boak has burned me in the past and with Wines due to come back in could impact his scoring in the near future.

TommyC99 · 31/03/2019 at 08:58
Horse said hes been playing through an ankle injury, which is why he hasn't been running through the guts like we would have hoped. Expect more mid time in the coming weeks, so i will be holding

kinglear009 · 31/03/2019 at 11:57
The reason I'll keep him is that he kicked a goal this week which was disallowed and cost him a 50 meter penalty. That's a 20 point turnaround you'd think, so his output could easily have been 85-90, which is hardly trade worthy. Yet.

Lazza · 31/03/2019 at 23:33
The problem with that theory is that he didn’t kick a goal.. the 50 mtr was unfortunate .. but you cannot count his non-goal it was a non reality

imsobrad · 31/03/2019 at 09:25
A fellow Kade owner here, worried about newmans effect now on his scoring. I know he has always been a top 8 defender, but this year is starting to worry me with newman in the back line possibly taking points.
Starting to think maybe a corrective trade early to jake lloyd who is only slightly more than him atm might be reasonable, but i don't like sideways trading. If he ever does end up averaging even like a D6 then could consider picking him up cheaper at the end of year.

The Bont · 31/03/2019 at 09:59
Im leaning towards trading to Jake Lloyd considering his is only 30k extra

imsobrad · 31/03/2019 at 12:01
Sounds about right, Lloyd might only get more expensive if he keeps churning out those tonnes. A sneaky cash gen option would be darcy moore if not owned, but i think its safer to go with the gun.

Patch · 31/03/2019 at 21:47
Been sleeveless two weeks running. That's almost a justification for trading in and of itself, but we'll unpack it on the pod

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 21:54
Agree Patch, liken him to the biblical Sampson, lost his Sleeves/ Hair, lost his power, maybe he's just getting old and thinking about playing AFL on PS4

Tofa · 01/04/2019 at 17:58
Spot on Russty, just like Christian Slater
I'm a Port fan and was at the match, Dad beside me was disparaging our team when the Blues were getting up on us and I repeatedly reminded him to keep faith with the boys… after three quarters I'd finally had enuf and set him straight – "There is not a single sleeve on a single Carlton player, they CANNOT win!!!"

JohnDJ59 · 01/04/2019 at 19:07
I'm wondering the same thing Bont.

DavidC · 31/03/2019 at 09:30
Yep, might get dropped after the last performance. I had him in my team at one stage, this game really does come down to a lot of luck.

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 10:42
Spot on Shark, what happens this week could or couldnt happen next week, i didnt vc Grundy either, wasnt happy with his form, so vc"d Cogs, mistake, but not normally, so Fyfe better go big with the C om him.,,,,

kinglear009 · 31/03/2019 at 11:55
Haha we did the same thing except I went for Cripps – so dependable for that 110-130 result while I thought Harmes would lock out Danger but instead he went to Kelly. Can't complain, still better than Oliver as Captain last week!

Derek · 31/03/2019 at 13:36
Danger is my perma C
My VC is any of Grundy, Oliver, Gawn, Cripps who play before Danger.
I had VC cut off at 139. This week I weakened and stuck with Grundys 137. Gave away 17 points.

Derek · 31/03/2019 at 14:20
The did that last week, sat out most of last quarter, had a bit of a sore hip and they didn’t want to risk him.

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 14:20
Thats what im afraid of Derek, this is an easier game

Derek · 31/03/2019 at 14:50
Reminds me of the days having Sam Mitchell in my team. Would be 110 at 3/4 time and finish on 105.

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 15:05
Yes sir, remember those days, Would you risk it or go Macrae?? leaning towards Macrae,

AuroraBorealis?! · 31/03/2019 at 15:09
I've noticed that Bailey Scott seems to be playing in a position that always has him away from the ball. Ball on the left wing? I'll just sit on the opposite side of the ground. Oh the balls coming over to my wing now? Let me switch to the other wing. Ball spending a lot of time in the centre of the ground? Let me stand on the top of our 50 arc. Balls now in my 50? Where am i? oh that's right im somehow running off my defensive 50. Makes for an incredibly frustrating watch

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 15:13
Hahahahahaha, ive noticed that too, watching his bald head and thinking "get in there" he looks tired, and interested, especialy that contest just outside his defensive 50, kept backing away from the contest that was 1m in front of him!!

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 15:15
Well that games done for me, over to the Hawks game,,,

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 15:09
Great observation Derek, definitely noticed the old heads scoring well, Accept Goldy today, spudding it up

NoLanguage96 · 31/03/2019 at 17:06
I've noticed Goldstein is a shadow of his AA form. Crack in FFS!

Finnius · 31/03/2019 at 14:25
Constable and Butters on the bench rip

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 14:25
Did the same KSin

Derek · 31/03/2019 at 14:49
Yep. After last week, had to have Scott on field against Lions. Only 64% TOG to half time for Scott. Hopefully he is fresh and run the game out

COREYSC · 31/03/2019 at 16:35
Yeah so did I shattered i’ve Missed 60 points there. That ruins my chances for 2300 probably struggle to reach 2200

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 16:11
Agreed Mav, didnt want to go near it

Derek · 31/03/2019 at 16:28
They only add up to about 2500

cash_cows · 31/03/2019 at 16:28
okay good, because scott with 26 seems pi$s poor

Maverick_ · 31/03/2019 at 16:35
that's exactly what he was cash cow, piss poor! he will be lucky to have scored 35 if that 26 is incorrect.

Teddy021 · 31/03/2019 at 16:29
They locked in the 3/4 time scores lol

silly · 31/03/2019 at 16:30
they better adjust that or I'm quitting what a joke

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 16:33
How do they have DT scores but not SC??

COREYSC · 31/03/2019 at 16:36
That has me relieved if that’s the case cause 102 SC for Neale after 43 touches was having me tear my hair out!

dontblushbaby · 31/03/2019 at 16:50
Fanfooty incorrect scores for Hawks & Dogs, only DT Scores,no SC, nothing for Freo & Suns just have to be patient ,which i'm not good at

NoLanguage96 · 31/03/2019 at 17:04
No way thats correct

CaptainObvious · 31/03/2019 at 17:08
3/4 time score mate. Some Nigerians hacked the scoring system and it crashed.

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 17:15
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

NoLanguage96 · 31/03/2019 at 17:17
Thank Christ for that, was at the game

Finnius · 31/03/2019 at 17:59
It's still showing up 102 on my Supercoach??? Surely not.

silly · 31/03/2019 at 18:05
Yeah I don't understand why that game has not been fixed

COREYSC · 31/03/2019 at 18:06
I hope that match is fixed soon otherwise I’ll get anxious

Maverick_ · 31/03/2019 at 18:28
dogs v hawks are finalised and still nothing changed with lions or north? surely they are updating them?!

NoLanguage96 · 31/03/2019 at 18:35
They have to it was 3 QTR time scores

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 17:51
Umpire threatening to report for swearing???? games a f%$#ing joke

Derek · 31/03/2019 at 18:07
I really hate Sunday’s
Hawks lose one they should have won
Mundy has no idea how to get the ball

Maverick_ · 31/03/2019 at 18:08
2 words
LIBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! & sicily….
soft frees yes but he got hot under the collar and couldn't stay cool when the game was in the balance

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 18:12
Dude, he did what they were doing, how pick him out for a free??? bullshit

Ja191 · 31/03/2019 at 18:20
Na they try and get a reaction out of him which they achieved, he just has to keep his hands to himself

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 18:26
They were all doing it!! how do you pick him??? be serious!

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 18:26
If you think that shit is a free kick then youre part of the problem!!!

kinglear009 · 31/03/2019 at 19:25
Sicily's history of foolish hotheaded acts has come back to bite him. Teams now target his rage and umpires are unlikely to be very sympathetic when he loses it.

Mick · 02/04/2019 at 08:32
The reason they changed the game started with the hawks 5 metre kicks

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 18:28
Seriously how does that work??

Maverick_ · 31/03/2019 at 18:29
no different to constable, bont & westhoff in round 1 they all got 20+ pts for there late goals in tight games…

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 18:31
Thats ridiculious, like my spelling

Bells · 31/03/2019 at 21:03
Didn't you like that goal Hawk? 😉

TommyC99 · 31/03/2019 at 18:30
Match sealing goal. Macrae also got extra points for his goal.

Patch · 31/03/2019 at 21:49
DELICIOUS

Maverick_ · 31/03/2019 at 18:39
i scored 2200 with heeney, dunkley and goldy all under achieving aurora. i think 2250-2300 is a pretty good score

JohnDJ59 · 31/03/2019 at 18:47
Worst than last week, will just make it to 2000 if lucky. Stuffed up my C big time.

AuroraBorealis?! · 31/03/2019 at 18:48
Who'd you stick the C on mate?

JohnDJ59 · 31/03/2019 at 18:54
I had the VC on Cripps and the C on Danger, I was going to go with Danger until the last minute, I put it on Fyfe.

kinglear009 · 31/03/2019 at 19:23
124 is hardly a stuff up. I picked Oliver last week and Cripps this week: that's a poor captaincy right there!!

JohnDJ59 · 31/03/2019 at 19:37
Hi King yes 124 is alright, just under my 125 preferred score, the stuff up was taking it off Danger 154, if I had planned on Fyfe in the first place it would have been a good score.

Derek · 31/03/2019 at 19:31
I think Scott lost points in the last quarter

Derek · 31/03/2019 at 19:17
He has made the decision very easy
64% TOG and NIL touches in last quarter, the game has gone past him

Sam_01 · 31/03/2019 at 19:42
Liking him a lot, playing pure mid, dunno if he makes the top 6 tho, am considering myself

BrownlowBoy · 31/03/2019 at 19:44
I was big on him pre season, didn't end up selecting him but seems like a good option.

Danners · 31/03/2019 at 21:09
Looks to have picked up the pieces from Titch. Not gonna lie, bloody tempted by him

Lazza · 31/03/2019 at 23:49
Over the season, who do you think will be Top 6… Worpel or Gunston ? Mind you, with the injuries to Shiels and Burgoyne it could be positive for Worpel.. or the whole house might come tumbling down..

2cents · 01/04/2019 at 09:31
for 20k more you can get a proven player who is averaging 20 points more. Do you think Worpel is a keeper?

Dermin8r · 01/04/2019 at 20:22
I'm seriously considering turning Heeney (85, 67) into Worpel (110, 92)

TOPHAWK1 · 31/03/2019 at 20:15
That makes two of us. Billings and Goldy are two that are in my gun this week mate. Both scheit.

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 20:27
I feel for the Goldy owners, not so much for Billings owners, hes a burn man, got me last year,,,id give Goldy one more shot, today he was terrible,,,

KSinny · 31/03/2019 at 19:18
Love that I put butters off for him last second

AuroraBorealis?! · 31/03/2019 at 19:24
Ooh that hurts mate

JohnDJ59 · 01/04/2019 at 15:39
I think that happened to a lot of us. although I had a few minutes left.

GloryDays94 · 31/03/2019 at 19:26
Same mate. 73 and 40 are not good enough… Time to get rid of him

Shake_n_bake · 31/03/2019 at 19:30
100% gone 65 minutes game time cant cover the the ground plonks himself in the middle and just ball watches.

Derek · 31/03/2019 at 19:34
He has made the decision very easy
Game has moved past old man Mundy
Who to trade him for? Already ave Kelly

Ja191 · 31/03/2019 at 19:36
Worpedo? I’m liking Dunkley to worp freeing up cash to go hore to moore

Sam_01 · 31/03/2019 at 19:39
Dunkley is playing GC next week, bit brave

Ja191 · 31/03/2019 at 19:43
Only way to get moore in, not liking his time in mids way too many wb mids

GloryDays94 · 31/03/2019 at 20:09
Don't trade Dunkley….

KeenButClueless · 31/03/2019 at 19:46
Lycett Derek? Not because of this week’s points, although that high ceiling is encouraging, but for ruck cover. Bye friendly as well.

Shake_n_bake · 31/03/2019 at 19:59
Have a few options Derek Mundy to Kelly or might gamble with going down to Moore. Bank the coin then reassess

TOPHAWK1 · 31/03/2019 at 20:03
Travis Boak Derek.

TOPHAWK1 · 31/03/2019 at 20:13
Mundy is done, cooked, and dusted. Move him on mate. Have a look at Travis Boak as a replacement. Cheers mate.

KeenButClueless · 31/03/2019 at 19:42
I absolutely dodged that bullet. A very near miss. I was close to not starting Grundy, putting Lycett into R2 and having Mundy as F3. If I had been able to put the leftover Grundy money to good use, I would have done it. Instead I ran Lycett as F3. Those 50:50 decisions can really make or break the season, and at different times it might look different. But today I am so happy, that the other blemishes in my team look like nothing.

Dermin8r · 01/04/2019 at 20:24
Mundy was in and out of my team all pre-season, then just before Round 1 I went with Neale, dodged a bullet there.

Beezneez · 31/03/2019 at 19:53
That's the worry.

COREYSC · 31/03/2019 at 20:08
I agree, he’s my pod haha

Patch · 31/03/2019 at 21:50
Allow me to be the first to apologise for ruining him

DEE · 31/03/2019 at 21:56
already in mine…. dark horse for the brownlow I reckon!

AuroraBorealis?! · 31/03/2019 at 21:58
Could definitely see him poll highly like brayshaw last year, i reckon he got the three points in rd 1

AuroraBorealis?! · 31/03/2019 at 21:57
How do I sad react on intensedebate?

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 22:04
Right!…Jumping on Josh and Tim Kelly LOL

Ja191 · 31/03/2019 at 19:39
Got the consistent 2222

Patch · 31/03/2019 at 22:04
Richie would be proud. Nipped me by one!

Sam_01 · 31/03/2019 at 19:40
2270, was unfortunate to cop the Scott 20 onfield with butters and constable on bench, sucked in by last week

cash_cows · 31/03/2019 at 19:43
2190 with scott on field, instead of constable.

Yoo · 31/03/2019 at 19:48
2,227

TOPHAWK1 · 31/03/2019 at 19:52
Ended up with 2188 after 2217 last week. (4405 for 2 rounds) Pretty happy to get a consistent start with 2 solid scores, not great but decent.

Iamme · 31/03/2019 at 20:08
2289 after 2120 last week Martin, Heeny and Goldstein all spudded up big time this week.

TOPHAWK1 · 31/03/2019 at 20:19
4 points in it between us mate! You just ahead on 4409. We might be on the same screen when we check our rankings.

Holty01 · 31/03/2019 at 20:41
2221. Scott onfield instead of Constable and starting Heeney the biggest disappointments this week

Big G · 31/03/2019 at 20:44
2358. Inside the top 1000 in my first time in doing sc for six years. Good call leav i by constable on the field and benching Scott.

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 21:46
Bloody awesome this week Big G….that's a top-notch score this week, well done fella.

Big G · 01/04/2019 at 10:10
Thanks Russty.

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 21:45
Stop yer whining, 2184 is a good score!…just joshin with ya Sinny, decent score this week, I think we all had Scott on field this week, what a bust!.

KSinny · 31/03/2019 at 21:51
😂😂 not a great start to the year only got 2086 last well then 2184 this week but I guess I started off last year pretty slow aswell

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 21:57
I had 2000 exactly last week, 66000 lol, you're starting ok mate. Bloody Scott though ay?!

KSinny · 31/03/2019 at 22:10
Ik I wouldn't be as annoyed if it wasn't a last second decision to bring him in 😂 what rank did u end up last year?

NoLanguage96 · 01/04/2019 at 12:32
2141. Heeney, Goldy and Dusty all turds 🙁

COREYSC · 31/03/2019 at 20:07
Absolutely!

Sam_01 · 31/03/2019 at 19:49
Ahhh sort of? I don’t think menners gets much centre bounce giggs, that said I didn’t watch the cats game this week
He more rotated through there with bont and Wallis while people rest forward etc

Lekdog · 02/04/2019 at 09:16
17 Centre Bounces attended, just missed targets on the day

GloryDays94 · 31/03/2019 at 20:08
115 and 100 is fine mate. Nothing to be worried about at all. He only needs a few more touches a game to go with his tackles and he will be flying. Don't waste a trade on him, not worth it trust me.

Sam_01 · 31/03/2019 at 20:52
Probably just gonna back him in and hold if he starts to hard tag and stink it I can chop him up then
Just with sheed and others I don’t have thought I may preemptively avoid a potential decline in his scoring

GloryDays94 · 31/03/2019 at 21:15
He was a tagger last year and played really well. 90-100 will be his flaw this year which is not bad

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 21:28
He's alright Sam, maybe not top 8 though, but this game works in strange ways, there are several different ways to end up at a good rank.
Sometimes, sticking with a non top 8 mid, helps you to get em when you need em, at the end of the season.
Gotta make sure you have enough trades left though.

Sam_01 · 31/03/2019 at 21:54
Look if he can just plod along at this average it would of put him right up there last year haha probably too 8 from memory, I’ve nailed all the rookie selections only thing I’ve missed is rocky and sheed and perhaps worpel
Apart from that sitting at top 3% 4400 points, other mids maybe just looking a bit better because it’s early season but already the guns are showing some inconsistencies
I guess the question is how worth is it to bring in sheed/rocky/worp it’s all a downgrade Banking 100k and losing no points

Sam_01 · 31/03/2019 at 19:51
Gee I was glad to go Dunkley over him, although not sold on the dunkman just yet

hedski · 31/03/2019 at 19:54
Holty and Brownlow Boy you're up there too

TOPHAWK1 · 31/03/2019 at 20:00
Holty had a huge score this week. He has left me behind in the rear view mirror. I think he is 132 points ahead of me now. Inside the top 1000 for both I think.

TOPHAWK1 · 31/03/2019 at 19:59
Hehehehehe. Did Neil hack the SC game platform algorithm and flick a few points his way? And he thought we wouldn't notice? LOL

hedski · 31/03/2019 at 20:21
I think so Topps, the 3 I mentioned were all above 6300 points last I checked

Hawk131415 · 31/03/2019 at 20:24
think they took my points, im on about 1500 after 2 rds

NoLanguage96 · 31/03/2019 at 20:37
I'm going Dusty to Fyfe

BlueBaggerJosh · 31/03/2019 at 20:21
really want Moore but can't seem to find a way to get him in without sacrificing a player i dont want to, oh well cant have them all

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 20:21
Hi Finn, I have to wait on Greene's status and if a few rookies are named but I'm definitely looking to trade this week, I just got home from the Beach, wtf happened with Scott and Goldy today?…poxy scores.

BlueBaggerJosh · 31/03/2019 at 20:29
Kinda hoping Greene isnt named so i have an excuse to trade him down to Moore and setterfield up to Worpel

GloryDays94 · 31/03/2019 at 21:14
Yep Mundy out… not sure who to go with though

AuroraBorealis?! · 31/03/2019 at 21:26
Travis Boak is the best option i think mate

JohnDJ59 · 31/03/2019 at 21:37
Going with my planned trades of Mills > Moore and Heeney > Rozee.

Black Dog · 01/04/2019 at 09:38
Don’t do it!!

NoLanguage96 · 31/03/2019 at 21:39
Yep. Ridley to Constable via Duursma swing and Dusty to Fyfe.

hedski · 31/03/2019 at 22:02
I want to trade but Hore seems like my only problem, I think I should just hold and go into round 3 with 30 trades for the first time ever.

Lazza · 31/03/2019 at 23:37
Not thinking .. have to

Fearthebeard · 31/03/2019 at 20:40
Thinking this too!
Also Bith heeney and dunkley to consider chopping?

BoltonsBlues · 31/03/2019 at 21:07
Kelly if i had to pick
Boak, Drew and Rockcliff all could be impacted by the return on Wines

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 21:42
Kelly.

NoLanguage96 · 31/03/2019 at 20:36
Yeah his ruck time was reduced but he lacked intensity and didn't get his hands on it enough in general. Scott had a case of the second game blues hard, he'll be ok

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 20:48
Cheers NL, disappointing those 2 but at least I got 2228 this week, big improvement on last week.

GloryDays94 · 31/03/2019 at 21:13
Hey Russty. I have Goldy also mate, frustrating watching him not get the ball… thinking we have to hold him? I have to trade out Mundy this week sadly 🙁 73 and 35 are just not good signs at all

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 21:19
Yeh think we have to holdy Goldy for now GD…35 is a bit akin to disastrous for Mundy, think he might have to go…..can you go to Worpel?…if you don't have him already ?looks like he could be ok.
I'm gonna back Goldy, could be his worst game for the year I hope.

GloryDays94 · 31/03/2019 at 21:33
Worpel or would Boak/Kelly be better?

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 21:40
Kelly best for sure!

GloryDays94 · 31/03/2019 at 21:44
Only problem Is Kelly has a crap Bye and Boak a good one

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 21:48
Stuff the byes mate…you'll make 10 trades before then.

DavidC · 01/04/2019 at 12:11
Not a Port fan but I believe he played in the SAFL on the weekend and should be available for selection. Should come straight in for Watts.

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 21:42
Yeah much as I'd like to trade right now, gonna have to wait for what's happening with the rooks and Greene karate kicking champion flog…lol

Lazza · 31/03/2019 at 23:42
According to Cameron, Greene is 50/50 to play This week..

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 00:00
Reckon I'll pish him off for Kelly, bandaid off quick!

Twilightingale · 01/04/2019 at 00:08
Very unlikely I’ll trade Dusty but half tempted to go Dusty & Greene for Lloyd & LDU.
Lloyd the only player I’m worried about hurting me that I don’t have. Continuing his form form last year. Also gets rid of two potential headaches.

cash_cows · 31/03/2019 at 21:28
Didn't watch but fanfooty said he was tagged.

Yeahnah · 31/03/2019 at 21:29
Didnt watch either game but fanfooty said Hutchings was tagging Coniglio. Not sure about Westhoff

Twilightingale · 31/03/2019 at 21:33
Neither player is capable of averaging 150 for a whole season. The negative outliers (this week) balance out the positive outliers (last week) in their scoring

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 21:34
Cogs got tagged by Hutchings, and Lycett scored 167 in the Ruck, Westhoff, not 5 goals this week, and not much ball. Maybe he was hungover.

Justin · 31/03/2019 at 21:41
Thanks guys

DavidC · 01/04/2019 at 07:56
Cogs tagged by Hutchins. Westoff playing a shitty forward role, he needed 5 goals last week to score well.

2cents · 01/04/2019 at 09:21
Hoff always throws up half a dozen spud games and Coniglio was a trap that sprung shut.

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 21:24
Out of those 2, who are doing quite well, I'd go Kelly. he was a rookie last year and is now a premo, much like Oliver was in his second year, Boak is older and not as exciting.

cash_cows · 31/03/2019 at 21:28
Kelly for sure

Benjiherb · 31/03/2019 at 21:32
Your doing well if ya scored 2100+ an have 600k in the bank .

NoLanguage96 · 31/03/2019 at 21:43
What if Greene is named this week? Set to only miss one

poloko48 · 31/03/2019 at 21:44
Jacobs hurt his ankle Friday night so he might be doubtful next week anyway.

Doc · 31/03/2019 at 21:38
He's looking the goods, much fitter than last year, would love to slot him in my midfield but sadly nowhere to put him. Would have upgraded Libba to him if Libba was poor today but turned out to do (really) well. It's a risk, but definitely a risk worth taking.

Patch · 31/03/2019 at 21:51
I reckon Wines will knock Boak out of the midfield rotation ahead of Rocky, Borealis, but I'd love for a Port fan to give a more in-depth analysis

ZzZCalintZzZ · 31/03/2019 at 21:56
Rockliff won't play fwd because they won't risk his shoulders. For that reason Ebert is playing fwd, highly likely Boak will play 50/50 mid/fwd or mid/def depending on game situation and match ups. Rockliff will be a pure mid in this new Port team

AuroraBorealis?! · 31/03/2019 at 21:56
Agreed that Rocky is ahead of Boak in that regard but i think they can all three share it pretty comfortably, ebert will remain predominately forward for the rest of the season you'd imagine

Cpt Pugwash · 01/04/2019 at 22:15
Appreciate the effort but posting a table often looses its format. Try PDF or jpg. Hope that helps.

Lazza · 31/03/2019 at 23:45
Whilst Kelly is a must have (after only 2 rounds) who are your tradeable FWDs? I wouldn’t be trading Dunkley just yet…

Richard · 01/04/2019 at 07:35
Danger Heeney Dunkley and then 3 rookies

2cents · 01/04/2019 at 09:26
Very risky points chasing. Rocky was totally shut down after half time by spudderfield and Dunkley scored 98 week one.
If you want to dump Tarzanaranto swap him for somebody cheap who is scoring well, there are heaps of sub 300k players averaging mid80's to mid 90's

Dermin8r · 01/04/2019 at 20:27
I'm considering Taranto to Rockliff too as an early corrective + starts building my cash reserves.

Cpt Pugwash · 01/04/2019 at 22:17
I wouldn’t trade Dunkley- you’ll regret it for sure.

poloko48 · 31/03/2019 at 21:59
I think Gaff is back this week which may affect Sheed's scoring.

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 22:03
Not sure Poloko, Sheed is still only 23, and Gaff will be rusty, Sheed might be doing what Oliver did in his second year.

Lazza · 31/03/2019 at 23:36
Simpson = fools gold .. the SC champ’s dawn has arrived

JohnDJ59 · 01/04/2019 at 11:48
I didn't have any confidence in him after last year and I wasn't swayed by anyone, you need to own your decisions, not blame other people for them.

GloryDays94 · 31/03/2019 at 22:12
Decided to go Kelly instead

Cpt Pugwash · 01/04/2019 at 22:17
Sloane dog millionaire

ZzZCalintZzZ · 31/03/2019 at 21:57
wow that's under the radar

Patch · 31/03/2019 at 22:03
I mentioned him in one of the pre-season podcasts but didn't seem worth picking ahead of Walsh or Cousins. Has a -83 breakeven with Hawks, Adelaide, Essendon, Port and the Blues in his next five…

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 21:59
I think it's it's just his 3 name…name that puts me off, and that he's from North Melbourne, he would seem to be the only expensive rookie worth the price at the moment though.

JohnDJ59 · 31/03/2019 at 22:32
I did look at him after last week Patch and he has backed it up, but I am going with Rozee instead due to his def/fwd swing.

2cents · 01/04/2019 at 09:38
I offered him up in JLT and mentioned that everybody was initially excited by him in his rookie year pre-jlt so why isn't he an option at a similar price with actual senior experience. All the regulars were quick to shutdown any talk about him stating that he'd never be SC relevant.
Great upgrade for Merrett if you have zach

Hplate · 01/04/2019 at 12:59
How is he flying so low under the radar? Even though he's expensive those are great scores. If Ridley or Collins had put those numbers up people would be frothing!

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 22:26
Reckon you need to get Parker in, Wilkie could be out for Hind soon, hasn't done enough. You also need Drew, he's a top notch rookie that you'll kick yourself for if you don't have him next week.

JohnDJ59 · 31/03/2019 at 22:47
Both Parker and Drew are scoring very well and can be on field with confidence, they will make heaps of cash for you as well, so yes you need to get them in.

Twilightingale · 31/03/2019 at 22:21
Out: Mills, Petracca
In: Moore, Whitfield / Laird
Can't see Mills or Petracca threatening to be a top 6 forward or defender. Laird and Whitfield are arguably must have defenders come season end. Moore been a very good pick for those who started him, will make money and looks to be scoring well. Good downgrade option for a failed mid price selection.

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 22:24
Maybe roll the dice Tommo and go Mills to Williams and Petracca to Moore to bank some moolah. Don't rate Mills at all, never averaged more than 79.
Your Team's pretty solid really with a few let downs..you'll need to strengthen your fwd line next week though.

JohnDJ59 · 31/03/2019 at 22:40
Mills > Moore and Tracca > Kelly.

TOPHAWK1 · 01/04/2019 at 16:07
Hi Tommy.
I reckon you are not far from nailing a big score. If I had your team, the two that stand out as passengers, it would have to Mills and Petracca. Both need to go. Petracca to Darcy Moore and Mills to a jet like Jack Crisp. Crisp will really give your backline some steel. Then after that watch Dusty and Heeney. If they continue to under achieve start planning to move them on. Good luck mate!

Russty_ · 31/03/2019 at 23:14
Thanks mate for your efforts, always good to be presented with a bunch of relevant stats, you're making me wanna do something crazy this week!, I won't say what it is but it's mighty crazy I tells yas! 🙂

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 01/04/2019 at 13:39
Climb the hill
Taken over neales role

neil demons delight · 01/04/2019 at 15:51
Need to go up from rookie rather than down from a Martin type A tad early; on the radar Trigg .can keep his cous from GWS company I like the thought of two hills

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 00:52
Could always go the more bargain basement option of Worpedo Mav, or I'll loan it to ya at 198% interest lol.

Maverick_ · 01/04/2019 at 06:58
I’m $1200 off affording worpel russty. How unlucky is that haha and haven’t really got a 2nd trade to do after Collins did enough to survive the trade to scrimshaw!

Northerner · 01/04/2019 at 09:03
Great call out Rusty Gilbert has been a regular on the National Indigenous Radio Network for some time. The diversity in our game should be reflected in the commentary box and it’s not currently.

Hplate · 01/04/2019 at 12:56
Can't agree there Russty he wasn't great. Kept repeating himself and didn't bring anything to the interviews. Not the type for televised game coverage or at least get him off the boundary. Maybe more suited for radio and panel shows.

Cpt Pugwash · 01/04/2019 at 22:20
He’s a funny bigger too! Nickname is “Fellas”..

Cpt Pugwash · 01/04/2019 at 22:20
Meant bugger not bigger!

ZzZCalintZzZ · 01/04/2019 at 07:32
Like option 2 dare I say it. Both trades are keepers imo

Locked and Loaded · 01/04/2019 at 08:17
Leaning that way mate thanks Rocky looking awesome

2Cents · 01/04/2019 at 09:20
I have rocky but I'm a bit concerned that he only managed to score 20 points in a half with the spudderfield tag. Spudderfield IS NOT a good footballer so anybody with 2 legs and eyes might be able to shut down the rock

AuroraBorealis?! · 01/04/2019 at 21:22
It also started raining very heavily in that second half and he found it hard to get near the ball

Dermin8r · 01/04/2019 at 20:34
Rocky and Kelly get my vote. Good Luck!

DavidC · 01/04/2019 at 07:42
Setterfield to Moore would be a wasted trade imo. Moore will probably get injured next week.

DEE · 01/04/2019 at 09:00
Agreed…. HOLD.

GloryDays94 · 01/04/2019 at 09:16
Constable averaging over 80 as a rookie and could have scored a lot more on weekend with 30 touches etc so get him in! Drew is FWD for most people. And get rid of Mundy

Derek · 01/04/2019 at 09:21
If Balta not named get Constable. This is why you have the swing set early in season, to swing trades

The Ranger · 01/04/2019 at 12:05
What about just doing Atkins – Constable?

Lazza · 01/04/2019 at 12:24
Constable is a must have … 3rd highest projected revenue earner … Balta may get a gig this week to replace Riewoldt ..
Do you have Hore down back and Burgess up forward? If so, could do Hore out, Burgess back, Drew fwd, Constable in.

The Ranger · 01/04/2019 at 13:44
Nice idea Lazza, I have Burgess down back and Moore up forward so I could prob do something with the swings.
Mundy is sh!tt!ing me to tears so he might have to go too which opens up all sorts of possibilities.
Just have to wait for teams to be sure of what to do, I'll def get on Constable, just not sure how.

NoLanguage96 · 01/04/2019 at 12:29
I'm doing Ridley if he doesn't get named to Constable via the swing from Duursma. Otherwise straight swap for Atkins works

gator59 · 01/04/2019 at 08:27
Hurt the fetlock apparently

The Ranger · 01/04/2019 at 12:08
Yeah I didn't see bloody Campbell getting a game Rick, I thought he was just cover as they had Daw go down and Preuss leave.
Not good. Not good at all. Goldie needs to be the lone wolf to score well.

Lazza · 01/04/2019 at 12:18
I won't trade Goldy this week … cos Grundy (BE 193) will probably lose more $$ … as will Goldy (BE 150).. so hoping for a net zero trade when compared to their values this week.. also gives us another week to assess both.

DEE · 01/04/2019 at 09:37
It's Monday Trade OUT Mundy…

GloryDays94 · 01/04/2019 at 09:47
Same problem mate. Got Mundy thinking he would be a consistent POD but he has been putrid

gator59 · 01/04/2019 at 10:24
He'll go huge once Fyfe gets injured … Or you could always back Walters in lol

Derek · 01/04/2019 at 11:10
at half time he had 62% TOG
third quarter he started on bench. Came on for about 10 minutes and scored 20 points and went off again.
last quarter was on most of time and touched the ball once.

Lazza · 01/04/2019 at 12:31
Balta and Ridley might play this week – someone has to replace Riewoldt and Essendon need to make changes ..

DavidC · 01/04/2019 at 13:31
Balta probably gets named this week with Jack and Rance and Grimes out. His role might be different so I'd give him another go. Even Ridley was unlucky to get dropped, was an emergency last week, I'm holding him for now as long as I have cover.

Rick · 01/04/2019 at 11:34
Ridiculous

Lazza · 01/04/2019 at 12:29
Whilst I don't think Merrett will be top 10 .. (they only played the Saints) … Bont only scored 97 and wasn't tagged.
What Rick said..

Doc_1 · 01/04/2019 at 11:08
I say go for it. I looked at the heeney to Lloyd but couldn’t find the cash.
Lloyd definitely top 6 defender IMO. He’s going to cost whenever you get him, and cost you points until you do.
Heeney not locked into top 6 yet, and will lose cash before recovering. If you have no other rookie corrections that need making and you can leave your team for the next 3-4 weeks barring LTI I would get it done.

Lobbe Wan Kenobi · 01/04/2019 at 11:15
Thanks Doc,
Definitely my thoughts as well behind this. Can't see Lloyd dropping off at all this season. Leaves me pretty light on in the forward line with Moore at D3 however, the way the Collingwood were chipping it around their defence there seems to be a lot if easy points. Leaves me with a
Backline of Lloyd, Hurn, Crisp, Smith plus rookies and a Forward line of Danger Dunkley Moore.

Rick Grimes · 01/04/2019 at 12:00
Ridley might get named. Not like the Bombers went any better without him.

Lobbe Wan Kenobi · 01/04/2019 at 12:15
Yeah I think he will but it worried me that he got cut from a side doing so poorly even though he definitely was not their worst performer.
I also think the combination of Scrimshaw and Lloyd will out score Heeney and Ridley as well as Scrimshaw making more money.

JohnDJ59 · 01/04/2019 at 11:36
Both of those trades are what we aren't supposed to do, but both would improve your team by some margin and Simmo and Heeney are struggling at the moment. I'm thinking of trading Heeney out myself, but I'm giving Simmo another week.

Danny · 01/04/2019 at 12:22
I’m beyond torn, and I’ve already hit the reverse trade button twice. This is going to be a longggg week

Boris_Baconbeer · 01/04/2019 at 12:37
look at Kelly's Projected score and value increase. He is not going to become out of reach any time soon. He is a must have but not enough to screw your team trying to get in immediately. Take your time making a little money.

dontblushbaby · 01/04/2019 at 12:23
The question I ask myself this year on these type of trades will they Top 8 and will there be any players coming back that could change their scoring ? Just my take mate,gut feelings is sometimes the best analogy

Lazza · 01/04/2019 at 12:13
I've done 2 this morning … but Yeo has been in everyone ..

Mystic_Mac · 01/04/2019 at 14:02
Yeo will come good Lazza

Holty01 · 01/04/2019 at 12:46
Did my trade Sunday night and the longer I wait, the better it looks.

LeDoctor · 01/04/2019 at 13:26
Heeney should come good unless we hear more about his injury, will probably start attending more stoppages and center bounces when he's in better shape, disappointing start but he will come good. On the other hand, dump Mills. Plenty of options there, trade to Zac Williams, upgrade to someone in the upper 400ks if you've got some spare cash, could also downgrade to a good defense rookie and upgrade a bad mid rookie to someone like Rocky or Libba.

DavidC · 01/04/2019 at 13:48
Rocky.

Justin · 01/04/2019 at 15:47
I'll be going Dusty to Rocky this week then if Sheed can still produce I'll be upgrading a rookie to him next week. Tempted to jump on both this week but what ever increase we see in Sheeds price will be matched by rookies price rise. Get one more look at Sheed that way.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 01/04/2019 at 14:17
Yeah not confident holding Heeney. If he plays through this injury he will continue to play fwd heavily and score 55-80 pts unless he kicks a bag.

Northerner · 01/04/2019 at 15:27
I’m not convinced Heeney to Kelly is worth the trade. Agree Kelly is safer bet. However, I’d been eyeing off a ruck/fwd F6 all pre season as I think I’ll need cover for Grawndy at some stage. Even for byes as they are both Rd 13.
So looking at ruck/fwd options, I do think Lycett warrants consideration. He played a great game against Gawn and then smashed it on the weekend. If he goes on a run we will have missed him after this week, although there’s a reasonable chance he might still be there for a Heeney straight swap in one more week. Under consideration.

TommyC99 · 01/04/2019 at 14:24
Heeney has been playing through an injury. He well definitely lose cash but still reckon he is top 6 fwd, in which case cash really doesn't matter unless he suffers a serious injury. He should come good.
I can see the appeal in the trades, but to me, seems like you're going a tad backwards. Moore could easily get injured next week (wouldn't put it past him) then you would have to either sideways him or downgrade him, and then you have essentially traded 2 premos for an ultra premo and a basement rookie.

ZzZCalintZzZ · 01/04/2019 at 14:30
Don't see how I'm going backwards at all….
Moore can match Heeney on pts at worst while Heeney plays heavily fwd because of this injury.
Lloyd clearly will score 20+ on Dusty on any given week.
I take the 240k and the extra pts is what I am doing.

TommyC99 · 01/04/2019 at 14:40
Moore isn't a keeper and needs to be traded out at some stage, whereas you picked heeney and dusty to get picked to be in your side all year. I agree Lloyd could very easily outscore dusty and there is merit to trading dusty – Lloyd
Horse said to expect Heeney to play more mid in the coming weeks. So we shouldnt expect him to keep pumping out sub 80s.
I think Heeney and Moore should score similar ish, but i think Heeney can defiitely be more trusted than Moore can. I think if Heeney gets the mid time Horse has said he will, i thibnk Heeney should be more consistent

Hawk131415 · 01/04/2019 at 15:52
Where did you see that Tommy? because the other day Horse said he wont be playing forward because of his ankle, that could be weeks away? hes going to bleed coin and if he comes good youll get him at a bargain price,

The Ranger · 01/04/2019 at 14:57
Have you got all of the right rookies?
Rookie correctives first then luxury trades.

Prizza · 01/04/2019 at 16:07
Spot on ive gone mills-rozah and had to off load petrasmelly to parker for the obvious, first trades for the year but i do have every other gun rookie bar walsh,

GloryDays94 · 01/04/2019 at 15:01
Be thankful you have Heeney and not Mundy!

kyle · 01/04/2019 at 14:38
at the moment im going dusty to rocky which banks me 174k

The Ranger · 01/04/2019 at 14:56
Tons of people will be moving on Dusty this week Tommy and it's easy to understand why.
As long as you have all of the right rookies then go for it.
I'm gonna back him in for a bit longer, he tonned up in Rd1 without breaking a sweat and was tagged by Greenwood last week.

TommyC99 · 01/04/2019 at 15:00
Hey Ranger, Yeah i got all the right rookies. Hore – Wilkie the only one worth considering. I was lucky enough to have started all the good ones. I think he will improve but this is the week to jump on Rocky and if i don't pull the trigger this week, i'm stuck with him for a few weeks. Definitely food for thought

Sharkmove_King · 01/04/2019 at 15:38
I'm holding Hore and loopholing the hell.out of him until something irresistible comes along….. Scrimshaw is not a must have, consider it if he will be your d6 instead of a Spud, but not a must have.

Black Boy · 01/04/2019 at 20:36
Sorry – think Scrmshaw is a must have – lot of injuries at the Hawks and Birchall out indefinitely,

Shake_n_bake · 01/04/2019 at 16:56
Hore to come back in for May?

Yeahnah · 01/04/2019 at 21:16
I think Hore will come in for May this week. Whether he holds his spot for more than 1 week is another question

The Ranger · 01/04/2019 at 16:06
Was wondering where you were Swans…good to see you back on the site.
The Worpedo is def on the radar, dunno about Rocky, worried what will happen to his role once Wines comes back, you'd think that either him or Boak has to spend more time fwd.

Swans2012 · 01/04/2019 at 17:47
Your right of course ranger, but I can’t help but think that they will leave rocky doing his thing if he’s doing it well enough, plus there is wingards midfield minutes to soak up…

neil demons delight · 01/04/2019 at 17:25
Hi Swans Yeah great to hear from you .Your starting of Libba and Smith has and will continue to be positive just a pity it involved English..Both the Dusty and Heeney trades will get you to Grundy but you will be trades poor mate Wont matter if you have the right rookies in place Onwards and upwards cheers and good luck

Swans2012 · 01/04/2019 at 17:49
Thanks Neil, not worried about being trade poor this year, just going to go for it for a month or so, I’m thinking I might hold heen, but dusty I think is in the gun….thanks for the input

Derek · 01/04/2019 at 17:26
Hi swans. I did have a team at some stage over the pre season that had English at R2, i do like my risky R2's. Had Lycett last year and the 60's each week are hard to take.
good luck mate

Swans2012 · 01/04/2019 at 17:51
Hi Derek, yeah at r1 for the dogs I thought he might just bang out a few months of 80’s before tiring but doesn’t look likely now! Anyway I’ll make some cash to make the Grundy trade possible in a week or so and monitor the Mumford/Clarke/rookie ruck situation over the next couple weeks.

Dermin8r · 01/04/2019 at 21:19
I started with R1 Goldy, R2 English planning to wait for G&G's prices to drop, now I'm thinking Goldy to McEvoy to help out now, then upgrade English next month to Gawn or Grundy once my rookies have generated some $$)

neil demons delight · 01/04/2019 at 17:29
We seem to be on a parralell course this season John. I am getting him in this week also. Toss up with Moore but its more i dont trust his health

JohnDJ59 · 01/04/2019 at 18:51
Hi Neil, yes I'm not sure on Moore either, since he won't make a lot of cash or be a keeper, but he does have good JS and is scoring well.

Holty01 · 01/04/2019 at 17:38
Hi John. Dont like the idea of booting a premo for a rookie. Feels like your taking a backwards step to get to full premo as quick as possible. Do you have any rookies not playing?

JohnDJ59 · 01/04/2019 at 18:46
Hi Holty, all my rookies are playing apart from Hore and he could be back this week. Rozee is the only rookie I don't have that could make some serious cash and I like the fact he is a dpp. I'm just a bit torn between Simmo and Heeney for who to trade out as I would prefer Rozee in my fwd line, but I feel Heeney has more upside for improvement, since Newman seems to be taking some of Simpson's points and I don't want to trade a rookie for another rookie before they have got to their breakeven.

DavidC · 01/04/2019 at 16:46
Lycett if you need a fwd/ruc backup to swing with R3 else Kelly.

Dermin8r · 01/04/2019 at 21:07
Agreed

Derek · 01/04/2019 at 17:28
I already have Kelly, so i'm going Lycett. Kelly looks the better selection if you don't have him.

Holty01 · 01/04/2019 at 17:48
kelly.
Everyone wants Kelly. No one was interested in Lycett until the weekend. 1 score and now everyone wants him. Look what happened with Hoff.
I’d play it safe Shake and go Kelly. You know what ur getting. I personally have no idea what ur getting with Lycett.

Shake_n_bake · 01/04/2019 at 18:11
It’s probably just the ruck fwd swing. And the bye.

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 19:46
I reckon getting as many midfielders into your fwd line should be priority Shake…just need to work around the Grawndy outs in round 13.

Whitey · 01/04/2019 at 19:34
My one trade for this week is Mundy to Kelly. Mundy looked slow and past it. Accept my mistake and blow a trade.

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 19:50
35 is unacceptable Whitey….old man gotta go.

neil demons delight · 01/04/2019 at 21:07
I am in the same position Whitey. Trades are vital as we all know from last year. I was thinking of Rocky or Sheed but it's going to cost 2 more trades to get either to Fyfe etc. Toss up for me Kelly and 130k or Fyfe @ 618 k and bogger all. Fyfe will drop but for me it's Fyfe for Life.Some of our coaches have similar structures with 10 prems each and 4 or 5 midpricers. They are hoping for 2 or 3 midpricers to crack the top 6. Libba Smith Williams DEgoey Greene Rocky B Crouch and BILLINGS are all good . I have two also but who on that list will be a keeper . For mine only Rocky I just worry about trades but Mundy is a must to trade

Shake_n_bake · 01/04/2019 at 21:56
He’s definitely gone Neil just weighing up my options. Good game in our draft league.

neil demons delight · 01/04/2019 at 22:10
Yes Shake Got me though. still learning about the format Good fun I am going Mundy to Fyfe

JohnDJ59 · 01/04/2019 at 16:22
No, wast of two trades.

nankthetank · 01/04/2019 at 18:35
what

JohnDJ59 · 01/04/2019 at 19:03
Both B.Crouch and Billings are midpricers and are scoring well for the price you paid for them, no need to trade either of them.

Holty01 · 01/04/2019 at 18:05
Normally agree Goat but while the bloke is injured and won’t be playing much in the midfield, very hard to keep the Bloke. I’m accepting starting him has been a mistake and moving him on for the time being is the best for my team. Although it helps I haven’t used a trade yet.

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 19:54
Probably, but it's more fun trading lol

Dermin8r · 01/04/2019 at 21:00
I'm 2 weeks into my 3rd season of SC and I have finally gotten a handle on my rage trade urges, I'm trying really hard not to turn Heeney into Worpel this week….

Hawk131415 · 01/04/2019 at 21:08
Do it, Worpels going to average more, at least to the bye rds, and Heeney is going to bleed cash til then if that ankle doesnt get better, then when and if it does you can pick him up at a bargain,,

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 19:53
Hi Dan, yeah I reckon they've both gotta go, Mills is doing what he does every other year, and Mundy is gonna bleed cash for his price, better off jumping off the sinking ship now.
Mundy to Moore or maybe Rozee.
I wish I'd started Lloyd over Laird now, Laird seems to be affected by Smith and Lloyd is killing the pig.

Fisherdann · 01/04/2019 at 21:29
Cheers Russty.
Yeah Lloyd may become near unattainable if I don't jump on now.
Who do you think has more upside of Moore and Rozee?
Rozee may earn more cash but Moore looks like he has a touch better scoring capacity.

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 21:34
I started with Moore (big risk) but he's working out ok so far, is enjoying a Sicily type second go around as a defender, sucked as a forward.
I'd like to get Rozee in but think I might miss the boat on him and if I do, no big deal I think (I've already got Walsh and Collins).
I think Moore could make you more points, but Rozee could be less risky, if that helps.

LeDoctor · 01/04/2019 at 19:34
Top eight midfielder? Probably not. Will be good enough a midfielder to warrant not trading out by the end of the season? Probably in my books. Body is in good shape, in good form, playing an SC friendly role, biggest concern is if his role will change with the return of some injured players. Wouldn't trade him in at this point unless you didn't have enough money for a premo.

Lazza · 01/04/2019 at 20:08
Setterfield tagged Rocky after half time … only scored 26 points on the kid. Also explains Setterfield's lower score this week.
What do you think the other coaches are gonna do now??

Danners · 01/04/2019 at 21:45
Definitely looks like chasing points. I think that Wines will take over as the inside midfielder when he comes back which will have a big dent in his score.

dontblushbaby · 01/04/2019 at 18:21
If he plays I am holding ,because it is only his 2nd game we can look at it next week ,I / we picked him because he offered value and if he plays to his max he is a top 8 FWD

LeDoctor · 01/04/2019 at 19:31
Yes for Dusty to Rockliff, no for Taranto to Neale, Taranto averaging 95, no reason to get rid of him yet. Also consider Dusty to Neale if possible.

Dermin8r · 01/04/2019 at 20:56
Agreed, I'm hanging onto Taranto and not falling into the potential Rocky trap, but Neale has been solid (he's in my team), but yeah, I agree Dusty looks cooked, 0 tackles after 2 rounds and not lighting it up in the MID or in front of goal.

Danners · 01/04/2019 at 21:43
Agree with this, Derek made a good point the other day though that Port still have Wines to come back into the midfield

redherringfc · 01/04/2019 at 20:25
Are you writing Dusty off for the season?

Rick · 02/04/2019 at 12:31
Classic points chasing

Rick Grimes · 01/04/2019 at 18:47
That's the conundrum with key forwards. They can kick a bag but still end up with a middling score. I'd hold tho, it's not like Worpedo is essential. Darling could pump out 150 at any time.

Brn · 01/04/2019 at 20:19
Where is that idiot who was abusing me on here for saying i think darling will only average 80 something now?

Rick Grimes · 01/04/2019 at 23:57
Not sure, but he's not a top 6 forward. If you were silly enough to buy, hold.

JohnDJ59 · 01/04/2019 at 18:32
Are you a John Mellencamp fan Rick.

Rick Grimes · 01/04/2019 at 18:41
Don't mind him, song just happened to be playing as I perused the comments.

JohnDJ59 · 01/04/2019 at 18:58
I've got all his albums from the eighties and nineties and saw him in concert twice, in 88 & 92, so I'm a fan of that time period.

DavidC · 02/04/2019 at 06:43
Perhaps you should also tell the story of Billings and Hibberd. Swings and roundabouts. Sometimes the trade works, sometimes it doesn't.

Rick Grimes · 01/04/2019 at 18:43
Kelly is a must have but he's not going to explode in price. Greene, if fit, could easily go 90ave. But how far off is he from being close to fit. If not named, trade away. But could always take another look at both.

JohnDJ59 · 01/04/2019 at 19:00
Danger into Fyfe for me.

COREYSC · 01/04/2019 at 19:25
Neale in Macrae for me I think the crows will make it tough for Paddy

JohnDJ59 · 01/04/2019 at 19:37
Danger scored 158 there last year.

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 19:39
Gotta VC Danger this week I reckon, if he goes big, it's pressure off.

AuroraBorealis?! · 01/04/2019 at 21:21
Danger loves playing at Adelaide Oval, i think he'll deliver quite well on the VC this round

Black Boy · 01/04/2019 at 20:39
You reach for a trade depending on who plays the Suns? Not this year I think

AuroraBorealis?! · 01/04/2019 at 21:20
What? He's already in my team, going VC Danger into C Macrae. Not sure what you're talking about "reaching for trades"

GloryDays94 · 01/04/2019 at 21:35
MacRae scored 189 last time he played the Gold Coast

Whitey · 01/04/2019 at 21:52
As a bombers fan it hurts me to say that I'm considering Oliver as my VC. Bombers are stinking it up big time.

FearTheBeard · 01/04/2019 at 19:01
I'm in the same boat (Heeney & Martin) and can't decide if I go Kelly & Fyfe or hold firm.
I'm leaning towards cutting. I nailed my rookies so I can afford the correct and worst case there is bargain buyers in Heeney & Martin if the pulltheir shit together.

John · 01/04/2019 at 19:14
I would hold Heeney but trade Dusty. Heeney has been battling an ankle injury so might have one or two more games up forward before returning to midfield. Dusty on the other hand doesn’t look interested and hasn’t laid a single tackle yet. Crouch and Bont are good around that price range.
As for Mills, I would 100% trade. Won’t average enough to be a top 10 defender even if he plays full time midfield but has only been drifting off half back so far. Trade him to one of Stewart, Andrews, ZWilliams or Brodie Smith.

FearTheBeard · 01/04/2019 at 19:43
John curious your opinion. Say Fyfe to Dusty. Hold Heeney and miss Kelly for now?
I've nailed all rookies so figured corrective trade till I see Heeney fit/productive and obviously cheaper. Also lock in Kelly now.

John · 01/04/2019 at 23:17
You will need to have both Heeney and Kelly in your forward line by season's end so no point trading Heeney out then bringing him back in later. Wasted two trades in my opinion. On the other hand, Fyfe is looking in Brownlow medal form and will have another big week against Saints this week so pull the trigger.

Yeahnah · 01/04/2019 at 20:02
I was looking at him in preseason Russty but his JLT2 score scared me off… great user of the ball but I've got a feeling his scores will depreciate when the dogs start losing

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 21:30
I'm surprised such a little bugger is doing so well in the backline Yeahnah…it's like he was meant to be there, I'll probably end up doing something more sensible though, or nothing at all.

Lazza · 01/04/2019 at 20:06
I'm considering bring him in or T Kelly … But If I go Martin to Caleb this week, it means I can go Greene to T Kelly the following week.(assuming Kelly increase is less than $20k)

neil demons delight · 01/04/2019 at 21:30
Looked good against the Hawks Russty Beaten twice in mismatches right in front but even Paul Callery looks down to him .Great player and half back suits .On watch big time

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 21:47
Hi Neil yeah me too mate, on watch…his new role seems to agree with his scoring, probs need to wait and see if it's every week or just the first few weeks.

COREYSC · 01/04/2019 at 21:58
Yeah I have been watching him closely and unfortunately I’m not convinced on consistency for me I’ll have to wait an extra couple of weeks before I would consider him

Nice_Person · 01/04/2019 at 20:14
Sure

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 21:35
Not sure if you're being serious or you want me to fail?…haha

neil demons delight · 01/04/2019 at 21:34
Dont fall for that crop Russty Trades are valuable mate and Heeney is top 6 no worries .Many including me are waiting for him to drop Horse must play him mids

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 22:07
Cheers Neil, side does look better with Heeney and Greene out though, gotta play the long game though…I'd love to be in a position to trade away after 4 or 5 rounds. 🙂

Danners · 01/04/2019 at 21:41
Would just do Greene to Worpel. I doubt Heeney would average 80-85 for the rest of the season, also has Carlton this week, a good chance to catch so form

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 21:50
Can't do it Danners without doing 2 trades. Kinda tempted to do nothing this week actually, scored 228 more points than last week doing nothing this week. If Greene's out might go him to Rozee to make some moolah

COREYSC · 01/04/2019 at 22:00
Hold your trades Russty if Greene returns this week otherwise if he isn’t playing you may have to pull the trigger on that trade

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 22:06
Thanks Corey, I kinda like the idea of still having 30 trades after 3 rounds.

Streaker · 03/04/2019 at 16:02
I like the Bont, seems to be playing solely midfield so far. Sloan is a gun too.

Danners · 01/04/2019 at 21:39
I rate him, I believe he averaged around 130 odd in the TAC Cup couple years back. Has a year under the belt, should make good coin

Yeahnah · 01/04/2019 at 21:15
Too sideways, if you're hanging out for Gawn or Grundy to fall in price may as well just keep waiting

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 21:23
Ceglar's in there now too, will pinch hit at times.
Also Dermy, I think one bad game is too soon to punt Goldy, hopefully he bounces back this week for us.

Twilightingale · 02/04/2019 at 00:29
Either find the cash to go up to Gawn or Grundy
Or
Go Lycett and bank some cash and trade in a player with a very low break even, Would suggest Phillips as a Lycett alternative, but not sure where Kreuzer is at in his recovery.
Makes no sense trading Goldy to Big Boy or any ruck who isn’t top 2 or a ruck with a very low break even

Dermin8r · 02/04/2019 at 19:39
Thanks fellas for talking me back off the ledge, I really didn't want to make any impulse trades this week, they're so valuable later on. I'll keep Goldy (and Heeney, who I was going to downgrade to Worpel which would give me the cash to turn Goldy into Grundy), but I will hold on both as Heeney should improve as should Goldy, I'll save my trades for when I really need them. Thanks again.

neil demons delight · 01/04/2019 at 21:37
Hurn and Simpson most likely

DavidC · 02/04/2019 at 07:10
They said that about Hibberd and Billings last year.

GloryDays94 · 01/04/2019 at 21:34
98 and 78 for Dunkley is fine.
Get rid of Dusty.

Danners · 01/04/2019 at 21:38
Dusty, form is concerning, has not laid a tackle yet this season

Ando · 01/04/2019 at 22:03
Very true. Looks a shadow of his former self.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 01/04/2019 at 22:35
A shadow.
Yep a shadow cant tackle.

Ando · 01/04/2019 at 22:42
Lol

neil demons delight · 01/04/2019 at 23:02
get rozee Trigg cheaper

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 23:07
Maybe don't trade Heeney if he's playing, if he's playing he'll bounce back. Smith is almost matching Laird and Walsh has plenty of money to make and points to score yet.
Balta could save his ass this week if he gets named.
Don't think Kelly will rise in price much unless he starts dropping 120's every week.
It'd be good to have Worp though, looks a good prospect.

Blueth · 01/04/2019 at 22:41
'Rolled his ankle' is quite vague but it should only really be a low grade ligament strain.
He's got an 8 da break so i'm backing him in against the blues.

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 22:54
Could do good things trading him out, get Kelly, Worpel etc, but if he's ok and starts scoring well again, we've wasted one.

Tyruddanaut · 02/04/2019 at 16:33
Yeh I’m wondering. I’ve already spent two on pierce, can I afford another? And if I do the trade I can get Moore for Setterfield. Is that worth 2 more trades? I’m coming 40,000 so far, shocking year, I need to take a risk or 2, but is this too risky

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 22:53
He caught my attention too Will, you'd have to pick him as a definite top six forward this year though, even though he's a defender now. (top 6 scorer in your fwd line)

Ando · 01/04/2019 at 22:50
Worpel also an option with Danger swinging into MID.

Russty_ · 01/04/2019 at 23:09
I've got Brayshaw and M.Crouch so I'll say either of those 2.

Ando · 02/04/2019 at 11:05
Cheers Russty

What_Bear · 02/04/2019 at 00:06
Matt Crouch.

Ando · 02/04/2019 at 11:06
Cheers mate

Lekdog · 02/04/2019 at 22:18
I like it

Streaker · 03/04/2019 at 15:17
Cheers Lekdog

Hawk131415 · 02/04/2019 at 22:18
Mate i had him from day one, but traded him to Lockhart , saved coin and got a scorer, albeit a shit one, not sure what either of them will do?

Streaker · 03/04/2019 at 16:04
Hold Crouch, Ollie Wines will be back soon and taking some of Rockies thunder. Also you waste 1 trade.
