*Hatley

SC_Kev7 · 27/06/2019 at 12:20
Wouldn't expect Hind to nail 3 goals every week but he's the safer option. Steele 1-2 weeks away is probably the only threat to his JS. If you've already got a playing M9 and M10 then having Hately at M11 isn't the worst idea.

SC_Kev7 · 27/06/2019 at 12:26
Looking good, KSinny. F6 might be a problem this week so Duursma or Hore to Logue then Balta to Daniel / Walters / Dunkley

Peedgd · 27/06/2019 at 23:05
Yeah I was thinking the same. Hope you ran with a downgrade of bore and upgrade in the forward line

SC_Kev7 · 27/06/2019 at 12:20
Answerth

Sam_01 · 27/06/2019 at 13:21
I’d be planning out your upgrade targets and cash needed
Cash is very tight even the 30k difference of hind vs hately will come into play id bring in Sloane and logue this week
Flick Walsh and Answerth probably

Maverick_ · 27/06/2019 at 16:55
Answerth -> hately
Duursma -> logue
Leaning toward the above but will just have to miss Sloane this week and reassess next round but still hopefully go walsh -> Sloane then
390k bank and 9 trades remaining

redherringfc · 27/06/2019 at 17:17
Looking at your team, I think you can skip one of the rookies this week. You can probably take a risk that who you currently have will provide enough cash for upgrades. I think you should go for Logue and Sloane.
I don’t see a need for you, with that team, to run the risk of trading in a player who you might never be put on field, who gets dropped and who you don’t end up cashing in.
Having said that, I’m going Hind and Hately this week, because I have 2 spuds in Scott and Hayes on my bench (and I got Logue last week)

Maverick_ · 27/06/2019 at 17:47
thanks redherring they’re very good points. I think it’ll be a last second decision I’ll make at 7:19. Like you said I may not be able too cash in on hately anyway

Libba · 27/06/2019 at 13:10
Yeh it's looking good

Rick Grimes · 27/06/2019 at 13:44
Ok, that's good. Thought I'd had a bad crop of mushrooms.

Maverick_ · 27/06/2019 at 14:19
Yeah I’m loving it. Looks the goods 🙂

Russty_ · 27/06/2019 at 19:27
Really not a fan of a black background…feels like a Cave, black writing on a white background is the only way to go in any Forum I reckon.

SC_Kev7 · 27/06/2019 at 14:44
Liking option 1

redherringfc · 27/06/2019 at 13:34
Macrae is probably going to outscore Sloane, so I’d say Macrae.
Pick the best players in each position if possible and Macrae is near the top of the pile.

Maverick_ · 27/06/2019 at 14:18
Depends on how the rest of ya team looks razza. Sloane is great value and if that 80k saving allows you to get Say a Lloyd instead of a houli next week then that’s when you take Sloane but If this is ya last premo spot In ya 22 and cash saved meant nothing macrae for H2H pts between the two but not a lot in it probably.

Rick Grimes · 27/06/2019 at 13:47
Hore looked bad last week. Think May is squeezing his points. I'll probably give one more week.

AuroraBorealis?! · 27/06/2019 at 15:33
Hore to Logue for me, May is effecting his scoring and will lose value from this point

SC_Kev7 · 27/06/2019 at 14:51
Tick for the Answerth to Logue trade. No one in your mids looks ready to go. Parker to Naish via Burgess gets you some more cash

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 27/06/2019 at 16:12
Think that one is going to be popular.
Also guilty 😜

Dash · 27/06/2019 at 17:11
Do you think Duursma should go this week. I didn't really want to play both Clarke and Hately tonight but may have to as they are midfielders in the true sense. No loophole there. I'll have to wait until the teams are named.

Jace · 27/06/2019 at 14:36
Why do you still have Rocky?

Holty01 · 27/06/2019 at 14:41
You could always put the e on Clarke. If he has a bad game then bring in Crouch.

Fearthebeard · 27/06/2019 at 15:20
Brilliant holty! Thanks mate

Steeeve · 27/06/2019 at 15:36
It's 28 I reckon. I wanna go him to Hateley this week because I plan to use two trades per week for the next few (if I don't get some cash now, even if it's only 70k, it will stuff me up later).
Wondering if I should get Hind instead and make more money just in case I need extra money later, or even if I go Hire to a forward rookie via dpp… would have to go early on the forward rookie though…

redherringfc · 27/06/2019 at 15:59
If you’re upgrading your other mid next week, go for option 2 and then get Kelly next week. He has a BE of 151, projected at 128 with a 10k loss. The risk is is if he gets 175 he’ll go up 10k.

TOPHAWK1 · 27/06/2019 at 15:43
He will drop around $23K back to $400K.

Beezneex · 27/06/2019 at 15:56
I'm punting him to be about $413k next week.

redherringfc · 27/06/2019 at 15:51
You could get Hurn in immediately, but his break even is 161.
Who are you looking at for the other defender? I’d be tempted to get Laird at just over 500k this week, probably for Duursma.
I’d also jump on either Hind or Hately for Scott.
Last point, it might cost an extra trade, but J Kelly instead of Sloane.

Defying_Madness · 27/06/2019 at 17:55
Thanks for the response. Was considering something like Baker to Sloane and Duursma/Hore to Naish. Was thinking at waiting a week on Hurn since he has a high BE and trade out whichever one of Hore/Duursma survives this week. For the other defender I was tempted to wait until Whitfield comes back as Logue should hold the fort at D6 for a while and I am low on available cash. Other options I was looking at are Houli who should drop in price by the time I have enough to afford him. Ryan, Laird and Stewart are other ones I would consider but it would mainly depend on form, my bank and current prices. Hately and Hind are tempting as well as they should appreciate nicely to help speed up my money problem. I would like Kelly in my team but I don't know if I have enough cash left to get 2 defenders and Kelly.

Holty01 · 27/06/2019 at 16:45
Personally no but who is to say what’s right or wrong in this situation. 🤔

redherringfc · 27/06/2019 at 17:32
At some point in the season it makes sense. It depends on where your team is at. It sounds like it wouldn’t be too bad for you to pull the trigger early on Bewley.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 28/06/2019 at 14:07
You rang?

hedski · 27/06/2019 at 17:20
Trying not to until teams drop Holty, then it's mass panic 😥

TOPHAWK1 · 27/06/2019 at 17:25
I am nervous Holty, but not panicking yet. That might happen at 4.30 pm (Perth time) when teams drop. I have Answerth, Gibbons, and Balta, and have spuds like Garner and Burgess as well. Cant afford for the axe to fall on my rooks, then its full blown panic mode.

Holty01 · 27/06/2019 at 17:35
Oh 💩

TOPHAWK1 · 27/06/2019 at 17:36
Where did you hear this bobby?

James Sykes · 27/06/2019 at 18:16
scanning the HS and Fox footy sites and no mention of this…source?

Bobby · 27/06/2019 at 18:21
its on twitter now

Imisstheredveat · 27/06/2019 at 18:33
At least 2 weeks out I have heard

James Sykes · 27/06/2019 at 18:15
josh kelly all the way for me

redherringfc · 27/06/2019 at 19:06
If I had him, i’d do the same.

dontblushbaby · 27/06/2019 at 18:22
Yep, heard the same on SEN just now, in doubt but more than likely out

dontblushbaby · 27/06/2019 at 18:26
He is in 63% of teams though, like we all have him

Saritz · 27/06/2019 at 18:29
only because McKay and Cripps are out for your beloved Blues

Rocksta_ · 27/06/2019 at 18:41
Same

Russty_ · 27/06/2019 at 19:22
I like Gray out of those 4 Sinny, nice 3 round av.

hedski · 27/06/2019 at 19:12
Hope not have the vc on him

James Sykes · 27/06/2019 at 18:55
yes as long as those players arent from the thursday game. also once a trade is done after the start of the round you cannot reverse it.

Maverick_ · 27/06/2019 at 19:05
Hately

Dash · 27/06/2019 at 19:05
So Keep Clarke on field you reckon for tonight?

Brn · 27/06/2019 at 19:14
Im confused. Play hately before d clarke

Russty_ · 27/06/2019 at 19:20
Clarke on the bench in case he scores bugger all.

Holty01 · 27/06/2019 at 20:05
That’s what I did

Maverick_ · 27/06/2019 at 19:04
I am in the EXACT same boat TC!!
i think i am taking sloane with crippa out and going to let hately sail.
But do not feel good about it at all

TelescopicCox · 27/06/2019 at 19:10
Went Hately. Could be a bargain M8 while I improve my weak backline.

Sam_01 · 27/06/2019 at 19:07
If you have trades to make use out of hately and possibly field him or loop him then take him
I’m down to 6 trades and it’s just not worth me getting him sadly was thinking of getting him for some solid cover but I just won’t make enough coin to make it worthwhile

Peedgd · 27/06/2019 at 23:13
Gold

Maverick_ · 27/06/2019 at 19:15
I still dont know know if to get sloane logue or logue hately!!
his poor JS and whitfield back in a week or two scares me…

Defying_Madness · 27/06/2019 at 19:17
I am taking a pass on Hately and getting in Sloane this week I think. Already have Logue but need to bring in a defender and mid so Sloane and Naish it is I think.

Maverick_ · 27/06/2019 at 19:20
I went hately!!

TommyC99 · 27/06/2019 at 19:17
Such a tough one. I’m panicking big time!!! At this stage I’m going hind

JohnDJ59 · 28/06/2019 at 13:05
I ended up not getting him in since none of my mid rookies are ready to trade out yet. I have Stack, Drew, Baker, Clarke and Bewley.

SamuraiPizzaCat · 27/06/2019 at 20:59
Hore

Defying_Madness · 28/06/2019 at 19:35
I am thinking I might trade Hore first, this is a very hard decision

JohnDJ59 · 28/06/2019 at 12:59
I'm keeping both until they aren't playing anymore.

Russty_ · 27/06/2019 at 19:39
CARLTON superstar Patrick Cripps will miss his first match since 2017 on Sunday, with a sprained foot preventing him from facing Fremantle.
Cripps sustained the injury in the three-point loss to the Western Bulldogs before the bye and failed to recover sufficiently despite the week off.
He is one of the leading fancies for this year's Brownlow Medal despite the Blues' struggles and could miss multiple games, so this setback could have wider ramifications.
Well this is some bad bloody news!

JEL · 27/06/2019 at 19:48
Seriously!!
Wonder why it wasn't reported on the Official AFL Injury list, especially if it's been 2 weeks?

Russty_ · 27/06/2019 at 20:01
Probably cause he's the glue that holds that fragile Team together, and maybe normally he toughs it out through niggles, because he's superhuman. Must be pretty sore now though.

JEL · 27/06/2019 at 21:23
So true

Russty_ · 27/06/2019 at 20:03
25 points with 16 mins to go in the 2nd quarter with 7 disposals is pretty good for a rook Mav, he'll be right.
The issue with him is, will he continue to play, not his scoring ability.

JohnDJ59 · 28/06/2019 at 13:07
Who did you trade out for him Mav. You were thinking about Answerth in one of your other posts, if so it was probably a good trade, as long as Hately gets a few games in a row that is. His JS was my main worry, plus none of my mid rookies were ready to trade out.

Maverick_ · 28/06/2019 at 14:22
I went duursma -> logue and answerth -> hately John.
I hope hately gets one more week to prove himself before whitfield is back.
He is far too good to be wasting away in the NEAFL getting his 35+ touches each week

Russty_ · 27/06/2019 at 20:08
I feel that pain sharply The Holt…I traded him out after his 60 odd for Stewart, and then Whitfield went out and Williams proceeded to go nuts…and has gone ever since Whitfield has been out…and Stewart has been ok but not scoring like Williams.
Williams is smashing it without Whit in the side.

hedski · 27/06/2019 at 20:09
Same, to Whitfield the week he got injured….

Beezneez · 28/06/2019 at 17:09
I traded him for Lloyd when he got injured thinking it would be longer than a week. I then traded him back in when Whitfield went down. Not too much damage done (1 trade).

Derek · 28/06/2019 at 16:11
Next week could be 0% TOG

Lazza · 28/06/2019 at 17:48
Yep, his wasn’t the best game … and a couple of mistakes in the last qtr cost them… back to the NEAFL for a few weeks, or maybe the rest of the year I think Derek..

Russty_ · 27/06/2019 at 20:44
Gotta hold I think Rick…how would you get him back in?
Many weeks to go…and miles to go before we sleep.

Tony · 27/06/2019 at 20:46
Some Carlton supporter on fanfooty said he’s out for the season… I hope he was joking!

JohnDJ59 · 27/06/2019 at 22:41
If you have cover, hold.

Ned_Starkers · 28/06/2019 at 08:11
Hold for at least this round until the information is more clear. Personally I’ll give him at least two weeks before I even consider what trade options might be available.

redherringfc · 28/06/2019 at 12:23
I’m having a serious think about it. It’s the only way to avoid a donut in my forwards, using dpp of Answerth and Gardner. I’ll bring in Boak. I’ve got a day and bit to mull it over.

SamuraiPizzaCat · 27/06/2019 at 20:58
I traded Hately in Round 8, missed adjusting trades when he didn't get named. Finally get to put him to some use!

Peedgd · 27/06/2019 at 23:12
Petrucelle swing to burgess and downgrade to griffen.
Parker up to c. Daniel

silversovereign · 27/06/2019 at 22:23
Haha I hear ya ab. Same here. Held him and drew. Eventually had to trade drew and then he gets a game this week and Rocky doesn’t. That’s SuperCoach!

Peedgd · 27/06/2019 at 23:10
Very unlucky. Once again he let's the community down for having faith.

Ned_Starkers · 28/06/2019 at 08:07
I had faith until China… football department funded holiday by the looks.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 28/06/2019 at 13:50
Classic burn man

Beezneez · 28/06/2019 at 14:20
This morning's Adelaide paper says there is a slight cloud over Houston and Rocky may come in. Check for late outs.

Tony · 27/06/2019 at 22:04
He’ll be dropped again, had a few bad moments

Tony · 27/06/2019 at 22:03
At least it’s a white background now, the black background was terrible!

JEL · 27/06/2019 at 22:03
Looks like it's gone back to the old format (at least for me).
Happy for them to try new things and see what the response is.
It did seem a bit too dark.

JohnDJ59 · 27/06/2019 at 22:05
I don't mind it, I think they tried it a few months back for a few days, having said that, I'm finding my eyes are hurting a bit from looking at it, so maybe the old way was better.

Rick Grimes · 28/06/2019 at 08:24
Not sure it's worth a boycott over.

The Ranger · 28/06/2019 at 10:27
I'm the polar opposite. I liked the black.
But then I have Outlook set up with a black background at work and everyone seems to think that's weird.

Lazza · 28/06/2019 at 12:01
Red writing is not good for many folk regardless of background … and I’m allergic to anything Red and Black related to footy.. makes me wanna throw up 😁
I noticed the umps liked Red and Black very much in the last quarter last night 😡

redherringfc · 28/06/2019 at 16:50
Frees were 29 – 14, near the end. Not something I’d normally look up, but I needed to check to see if it was just my bias.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 28/06/2019 at 14:04
When has that ever stopped ya rust? 🙊

Beezneez · 28/06/2019 at 14:17
It's very hard to read. I have a torn retina and a drooping eyelid covering the pupil in my good eye so I find it very difficult. I cannot read the time of the posting at all unless I magnify it. I use the icon next to the refresh button to read the article with a white background but doesn't show the comments at all. With you Russty – awful. Also whenever I post something lately I have to re-enter my name and email address which is annoying and stops me from doing so most times. Wish I knew how to prevent it happening.

Brn · 27/06/2019 at 22:10
Wondering the same.
Dont think theres much to lose by fielding bewley or setters. Im torn between oscar baker and bewley, but will probobly go bewley because they are plaing calton

DavidC · 28/06/2019 at 09:15
O Baker and Bewley have only gone 60+ once and are averaging 55. As disappointing as Clarke's 63 is I think I'll take it.

Brn · 28/06/2019 at 09:30
Yeah but with an average of 54 and 55, there would seem more to gain than lose. – 8 odd points is fine, but the possibility of the rare 80 -100 score (+ 30 odd points) makes it worrh a shot for me

Peedgd · 27/06/2019 at 23:09
Yeah I have to field 2 spots now crips is out and I have hind and bewley. Not sure if I taken both or chose one not to take? Leaning towards both over that 58

JEL · 28/06/2019 at 16:58
Yep, it's a bit of a maybe score.
I've got 2 spots to fill with Clarke / Bewley / Hind.
I'm leaning towards Hind to fill the hole left by Cripps, and taking Clarke's score.

Derek · 28/06/2019 at 00:27
Ross worked out Walters did ok as a midfielder

Ned_Starkers · 28/06/2019 at 08:09
I wouldn’t stress about a ruck swing for now. Lycett was a good spend at 430. At nearly 500 and some uncertainty about how Ryder returns, mmmm not so much.

Trades · 28/06/2019 at 08:56
I think dunkley’s too expensive.
Boak Gray or Daniel?

Ned_Starkers · 28/06/2019 at 07:53
Especially Lloyd

JohnDJ59 · 28/06/2019 at 12:58
You need Lloyd.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 28/06/2019 at 13:53
Bit sideways for mine

JohnDJ59 · 27/06/2019 at 22:59
Trade him to R.Gray.

TBone_9 · 27/06/2019 at 23:44
That’s all I need to hear hahaha. Westhoff to R. Gray, B. Smith to Logue. Got 365k to play with for upgrades next week, BANG!

JohnDJ59 · 27/06/2019 at 23:58
Good move TBone, I traded B.Smith out in round 13 to get Laird in.

TBone_9 · 28/06/2019 at 00:16
Cheers DJ. And I bet you haven’t looked back once mate!

JohnDJ59 · 28/06/2019 at 00:25
No I haven't, though at the time I thought this is a bit of a luxury trade, since I wasn't trading out a rookie, but it was the only way I could afford Laird and my rookies were still making money.

Derek · 28/06/2019 at 00:24
Hoff to Walters for me.
Although I can go Parker to JJK and have Hoff at F7
What do you reckon fellas

JohnDJ59 · 28/06/2019 at 13:22
Hoff to Walters works for me, but feel you are two weeks late.

redherringfc · 28/06/2019 at 12:54
I got Westhoff and Gardner 2 weeks ago. Both are sitting on my forward line with Corbett and I have no dpp’s available to move anyone into the forwards. I only have 26k after already trading Scott to Hately. There are no forward downgrade options. And Westhoff at 376k means I can’t upgrade him.
So Westhoff was a huge mistake, but I’m contemplating topping that one by ditching Cripps, using some dpp magic and getting a decent forward.

Trades · 28/06/2019 at 15:18
Or trade Westhoff to McDonald

redherringfc · 28/06/2019 at 15:34
My first thought was:
“I’m not deliberately trying to sabotage my own team.”
But I checked out his scores. Was he playing forward last week? I notice he’s named as full forward this week.
I might trade Hore to McDonald. I’m too stubborn to trade out the Hoff, just yet.
That’s a pretty good suggestion. Thanks.

Trades · 28/06/2019 at 15:41
Yeah his last few games have been good. No worries.

Ned_Starkers · 28/06/2019 at 08:03
Why not both? I’ve had Oliver all year and he’s been a little disappointing at times, but his gone 114 or better in 5 of his last 6. Sloane has a good run home and I couldn’t resist him this week either.

Ned_Starkers · 28/06/2019 at 07:59
If you’re a premium or two short in the middle, I’d say you gotta go 1 or 2. By weight of numbers, I’d say your keen to get rid of Answerth (I did too this week). I got rid of Walsh and Stack a couple of weeks ago, they’ve done enough, so take your pick.
As for captains, Gawn and Grundy haven’t let me down yet, but I can see the temptation for Danger at home at least.

Stupid Coach · 28/06/2019 at 12:36
Thanks Ned. My current midfield is McCrae, Cripps, Merrett, Coniglio, Oliver, Sloane, Walsh, Stack (Clarke, Brewley, Baker). It is either upgrading Walsh to Neale or Stack to Bont. I would like to upgrade Settlefield or Parker in my forward line instead but they haven't generated as much cash as I would hope and Neale/Bont appear to be at a great price at the moment.

Lazza · 28/06/2019 at 12:13
Marshall, only because he has a higher ceiling …. but either is a good choice..

Lazza · 28/06/2019 at 12:11
I'd wait for his first "return to form" game before making the move Fritzzzy.. maybe think about Robbie Gray, or Cameron or even Heeney, though he is probably in the same boat as Mundy.

Fritzzzy · 28/06/2019 at 12:20
I'd love to but have to make the move this week with Petruccelle out. Gray's a good option too. Considered Cameron but he's too flakey for me. I'm just not clear why Mundy's dropped so hard. He broke his nose against the Pies, then dropped form since. I don't think his role has changed at all though? I guess he's always been somewhat inconsistent.

Sam_01 · 28/06/2019 at 13:21
Similar position mate I brought Toby Greene in as a cheapy for ROB a while ago bc I needed points on field, he has been alright but I’m having a look for a cheeky upgrade
Hawkins will be cheap soon and mundy aswell

Fritzzzy · 28/06/2019 at 16:45
I think I'm going to bite the bullet on Mundy. He'll push out a couple of sub 70's before the end of the year… but he'll also more than likely throw in a few +120's and at least 4/5 +100's. Or do his hammy in Q1 and burn me. #supercoach

Brn · 28/06/2019 at 19:17
There are better options i reckon, depending on who you have got. PODs can go both ways

Sam_01 · 28/06/2019 at 13:50
cripps is a warrior I’ll back him to come back in a couple of weeks

Brn · 28/06/2019 at 19:15
He will be good max 2 weeks

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 28/06/2019 at 14:00
It's a head scratcher ricko due to the half truths and rumour mill going onto overdrive.
This is where for the sake of supercoach for the medos to come out and say point blank not we think Cripps will miss 1-2 or 4-6.
With trades remaiming in the shed I probably best just to go into a holding pattern.

Ja191 · 28/06/2019 at 15:22
You’ve held rob this long my aswell wait and get his $ now id he downgrading to logue/hind/naish

Ja191 · 28/06/2019 at 15:21
Is neither an option? But if I had to pick I’d prob keep Smith it’s pretty 50/50 tho

Brn · 28/06/2019 at 19:15
I agree with smith, but a lot dont. Guess we will see

Holty01 · 28/06/2019 at 17:22
🤔 that will change my trades for the week.

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 19:22
I wouldn't even bother Hed, I'm just leaving Smith on, Answerth is a spud.

hedski · 28/06/2019 at 19:27
Yeah was tongue in cheek Russty.
Never know tho, Smith could get injured 5 minutes in so might as well take advantage of the loophole.
Go cats.

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 19:46
Go Cats mate and go Danger VC! 🙂

hedski · 28/06/2019 at 19:50
Danger Captain!!!

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 19:51
Good luck to you too then Sir!

Holty01 · 28/06/2019 at 17:14
Well hello fellow Holty. I’d say pretty close but Ryan has the bigger ceiling imo

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 28/06/2019 at 17:30
Its like im seeing double

Maverick_ · 28/06/2019 at 17:31
3 Holty's in one community… Hello fellow Holtys
I like ryan for the simple reason of his huge ceiling

JohnDJ59 · 28/06/2019 at 17:42
I'm keeping both Hore and Duursma for now, so that is a very had question to answer. Hore has a higher average, his only bad game was last week, but his BE is higher and so could lose more cash than Duursma. It could depend on your cash situation on which one to trade out since Hore is worth $137,900 more than Duursma. Also having one of the three at D6 should be fine for the next two weeks or so.

BigAl_15 · 28/06/2019 at 18:01
I’d say keep hore as he is more consistent despite his high breakeven

Ja191 · 28/06/2019 at 17:37
Smith easily, I reckon Sicily will play back now and easily outscore Smith

Lazza · 28/06/2019 at 18:27
Naish won’t lose you any money this week, whereas Answerth will … easy peasy

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 19:19
Naish was pretty stiff to get dropped I feel after 2 decent rookie scores, I have him too and think he'll get another run whereas Answerth is very Balta-like but without the few big scores, Hind named as half fwd onfield is encouraging and I think you'd be better off doing something that makes you some money.

Lazza · 28/06/2019 at 18:26
Hey Dash, not sure about Marsh, but Answerth and Durrsmaa both have BEs above their average … I think Sloane is a better option than Stewart.. so I’d go option 1 if Marsh has maxed out for you.

Dash · 28/06/2019 at 18:29
Well Marsh has been dropped by StKilda. May or may not get back in. Answerth keeps getting a game, so may be some insurance even though he may score a 40. Not sure.

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 18:45
Hi Dash, I also like Marsh to Logue and Duursma to Sloane, can't go wrong really unless Logue turns out to be fool's gold but I don't think he is, and he has good js.

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 18:40
Sounds like a nail biter Lazza, lots of close predictions in the leagues this week, I've got Holty twice and am up against plenty of high end coaches this week, DBB, Rick Grimes, JohnDJ, Instagator Col, hoping a few of my Pods stand up, good luck this week mate.

Lazza · 29/06/2019 at 09:48
Cheers, Russty… you’ve got a tough gig this week..

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 12:44
If I go well from here, I might just make the top 16 LOL

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 19:06
He could be a bit down on his last few weeks possibly but it's not reason enough to not get him in now.

TheLostBoys · 28/06/2019 at 19:18
Absolutely – as long as he's not a late withdrawal, I'm bringing him in! I was more thinking about who to start on the field, Logue or Hore (or Duursma if I trade out Hore for Logue instead).

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 19:26
I'd say, just because of how most rookies this year on their 3rd games have gone…start Hore over Logue.
Most rooks seem to shit the bed on their 3rd game…and Hore over Duursma too…higher average.

hedski · 28/06/2019 at 19:28
Could improve his scores if the balls getting bombed in willy Nilly.

Derek · 28/06/2019 at 21:15
He would/should be on bench

TheLostBoys · 28/06/2019 at 18:54
I tipped the Dons by 5…..but then I do every week as I'm a supporter 🙂

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 19:02
Nice work mate!…I usually tip against my team (the Saints)..because they mostly suck.
Hope you get your others right as it could give you a huge leg up this week in your tipping leagues.

TheLostBoys · 28/06/2019 at 19:19
I wish but sadly tipping the dons each week hasn't exactly helped my tipping results most weeks!

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 19:23
Gotta play this game with your head and not your heart mate…especially in tipping!

Brn · 28/06/2019 at 19:27
Unless you are a cats fan 😀

hedski · 28/06/2019 at 19:30
I nearly tipped against us last week Brn knowing how bad we are after byes.
Couldn't do it.

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 19:44
Yeah Brn…certainly helps when your team is good 🙂

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 19:00
Hey Keen, if you meant Duursma is M8, you could see how Hannebery goes this week, if he scores well again, could allow you to get someone better than McKernan

KeenButClueless · 28/06/2019 at 19:05
That’s a really good option Russty. Thanks for that.

Brn · 28/06/2019 at 19:37
Dont know your $ situation but c curnow a good fwd

TommyC99 · 28/06/2019 at 19:03
Rose is probably you're best bet but his inflated price tag, meh scoring and unsure JS would make him a questionable rookie

Defying_Madness · 28/06/2019 at 19:31
Was considering Cameron. Had a good first game and has DPP at least if he gets dropped. Anyone know what his JS is like?

TommyC99 · 28/06/2019 at 19:13
Im eyeing off tomahawk next week as an F6/F7. Nice run home and nice price. Hoping Talia beats him tonight though!

Brn · 28/06/2019 at 19:25
Haskins had a down week and will kill it tonight. Cats by 50+

hedski · 28/06/2019 at 19:33
Wish I was that confident this week Brn, I'll be happy with the W from the cats 👍

hedski · 28/06/2019 at 19:31
Have them both F5&6 Skinny, Tommy killed me last week, he'll come good, hopefully tonight.

hedski · 28/06/2019 at 19:36
Does Greenwood go to Danger?
I VC'd Cogs last night.
Danger gets the armband.

JugHead · 28/06/2019 at 19:37
Well…..I've been thinking Grundy into Gawn all week…….but Danger should be well rested…its at the cattery…I'm gunna VC him…….could be wrong of course, but I think he will tear Adelaide a new one.

JohnDJ59 · 28/06/2019 at 21:00
Well done anyone who did.

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 20:06
I've got 6 and so far 3 of them are doing fk all Hed 🙁

Swans2012 · 28/06/2019 at 20:12
Is laird even playing?

TheLostBoys · 28/06/2019 at 20:15
I dunno but at least my opponent also has him so it's a wash for league…..as do 40% of teams so hopefully not too bad for overall.

Rick Grimes · 28/06/2019 at 20:30
I'm running ROB at R2.

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 20:50
Damn you Grimes!

Maverick_ · 29/06/2019 at 11:18
yup still running ROB R2 Gawn R1.. In no rush to upgrade him.
Will wait too see what nicnat does

RealDealNeale · 29/06/2019 at 11:56
ROB at R2 instead of Gawn. Might bring in Gawn over the stretch run

Defying_Madness · 28/06/2019 at 20:23
Smith useless as well. Ended up trading Hore over Duursma and Smith. Probably going to regret it

Holty01 · 28/06/2019 at 20:30
Everyone been talking about trading Smith. Maybe been talking about the wrong Crow…… he surely will come good though.

gator59 · 28/06/2019 at 21:57
He's just floating around in his tin can

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 21:09
Not looking too good right now Rick with Smith, Laird and Danger in my side, fingers crossed for the 2nd half.

Rick Grimes · 28/06/2019 at 22:19
Laird has come home strong. Danger doing…something.

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 22:22
Oh I forgot, I traded out Smith this week yay!…yeah Danger's battling on even though hurt.

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 21:16
He's in a rare group of second year rookies who have really stepped up after a good first year.
He can pretty much name his price now, but will he want to go back home?

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 29/06/2019 at 08:59
It funny because they showed vision before the game of some past players one being Andy McLeod.
Kelly is so McLeod like.
Beautiful to watch.
Instinctively good. Make things happen.

Sam_01 · 28/06/2019 at 21:11
Pray for us mate!!!! Carn danger

Rick Grimes · 28/06/2019 at 21:10
Thankfully everyone owns him. Is it just me or do you you roll your eyes when Danger gets hurt. He doth protest too much at times, me thinks.

Russty_ · 28/06/2019 at 21:11
He has been known to yeah, but he did look sore, he does have plenty of padding there these days lol.

Rick Grimes · 28/06/2019 at 21:12
That time he ended on crutches then played the next week. Classic Danger. Here's hoping for a miracle recovery.

Derek · 28/06/2019 at 21:10
It was a big hit. I will struggle to come back.

Derek · 28/06/2019 at 22:57
He

Steeeve · 28/06/2019 at 22:38
I brought in J Kelly instead of Sloane this week despite the big price tag. Always expected he would be tagged so was happy with a ton. Sloane has played well but at the end of the day I would rather have Jelly for the finals.

DavidC · 29/06/2019 at 06:06
Yep, Answerth has been horrible since his debut and Bewley has been over 60 once. Take the lesser of two evils.

dontblushbaby · 29/06/2019 at 12:44
I'm taking Clakes 63 over Hind due to Cripps out

Holty01 · 29/06/2019 at 12:56
Yeah jughead. I’ve seen some much better starting 22 then my side at present but none have any bench cover. My teams strength is my cover but if no one gets injured, I will drop off quickly. It’s a tough mix to get right.

JohnDJ59 · 29/06/2019 at 13:56
I'll just move Danger to the mids, where I have good cover.

Swans2012 · 29/06/2019 at 09:16
Or if they’ve gotta be somewhere not smack bang in the middle side. Maybe top corner or bottom corner would be less intrusive

Leonard · 29/06/2019 at 12:38
agreeTRIGGA not necessary on this site

Saritz · 29/06/2019 at 13:04
I agree. Just to clarify… this is an issue for mobile users (smaller screens)

Lekdog · 30/06/2019 at 13:44
I'll piss them off the mobile site

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 30/06/2019 at 14:34
Love a man of action Lek. 👍

hedski · 29/06/2019 at 10:05
Sloane will be @$530k Coxy.

Maverick_ · 29/06/2019 at 11:22
I also went the double down Logue and Hately TC.
Sloane was my lock all week til hately was named.
As long as Hately gets named again next week i'll feel better about it & sloane's still dirt cheap for his output.

hedski · 29/06/2019 at 11:35
Sloane in is my only trade this week Mav, happy with his 129.
Got you in Jungleland draft this week good luck mate

Derek · 29/06/2019 at 12:46
I’m stuck on that.
Have E on Clarke but can go with either Baker or Bewley to beat that

Derek · 29/06/2019 at 12:47
Good thing is they play in last 2 games

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 12:46
I'd go the punt on Hind hopefully having another good score, Baker's been a bit average last few weeks.

Libba · 29/06/2019 at 12:38
I felt these years rookies have done fairly well, especially the ones playing towards the start of season
If you jumped on o'brien, stack and started with walsh, constable, duursma, hore, Miers (have all generated over 200k min )
Currently Logue and hately (if he strings couple games should generate )

Derek · 29/06/2019 at 12:44
You mustn’t have played last year?

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 12:45
Doesn't help either that now with our teams finished or almost finished they're getting dropped and or injured with low trades.

Saritz · 29/06/2019 at 13:00
I have to disagree. I have found this year to be one of the better years for cash generation.
Is it just me, or has "late changes" been on the decline also? I am haunted by years gone by with late outs to popular SC players. So Im forever checking the final teams, only to find this year there is nothing to worry about.

Maverick_ · 29/06/2019 at 12:11
not sure on your team structure and who you do and don't have but if that smith upgrade is to a lloyd/whitfield it's option 1 for me RDN.

RealDealNeale · 29/06/2019 at 12:33
Already have Lloyd and Hurn, so it would be to Whit.
Other weak points are ROB, B.Crouch and Brayshaw on field, so the money could be helpful

JohnDJ59 · 29/06/2019 at 12:46
I like option two.

Libba · 29/06/2019 at 12:35
Max gawn in recent years has struggled to score well against Brisbane
I'm also struggling with captaincy after the Dangerfield failed VC

TommyC99 · 29/06/2019 at 12:40
Yeah mate its tough. I can make a case against every C option this week
Grundy – History isnt great against Goldy
Gawn – Stef Martin while hes dropped off he still isnt conceding huge scores
Fyfe – Curnow tag?
Macrae – Great record against Port but been poor interstate this year + could meet a houston tag?
Oliver – Very up and down
Ryan/Hurn – Shown big ceiling but is consistency an issue? I was thinking about Hurn but its wet in melbourne today
Proving to be a tough captain round indeed!

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 12:37
Hey Tommy, I think the form Grundy's in at the moment, that past average thing doesn't worry me, he does so much more around the ground, and wins hitouts against most other rucks.
The 2 scores dragging that average down are from 2013 and 2014 way before he reached gun status.
Didn't really click it into high gear until 2017

TommyC99 · 29/06/2019 at 13:00
Thats a very good point russty. And there arent any other standout captain options around to compete with grundy

TBone_9 · 29/06/2019 at 13:04
Gday Derek, I’m having the same issue as you mate. Liked having him there as ruck cover but seeing as everyone would have Gawn and Grundy by now I don’t think it’s as necessary. I like option 1 if you’ve got the cash gen, otherwise to Walters is good. It’s just a call of whether he will be back in the team next week or if he will be out multiple weeks.
I’m having seconds thoughts about trading him hoping he will be back next week. I don’t have Macrae and Hore to Macrae is mighty tempting this week.. what do you reckon mate?

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 16:45
I like Hoff to Lycett or Gray Derek, hope you didn't go with JJK

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 12:56
ROB…trade of the year Mav!..I wish I'd done that move but didn't have the stones, kept Goldy and ROB and ended up trading ROB in for Whitfield the week he got injured..Yay!
No one could've forseen how good ROB would be and that he'd keep Jacobs out of the side this far into the season, that extra cash has and will allow you get some serious extra talent in your side so well done mate for taking the punt.

Maverick_ · 29/06/2019 at 13:05
I certainly didn't bring him in thinking he'd do what he did russty haha
I remember thinking he might max out at 400k tops and sauce would be back in 6-8 weeks and will walk back into the crows 22 yet here we are ROBs going to crack 500k a 3 rd average of 135 and has kept sauce out, crazy! I nearly traded him after that 54 but had other issues to attend and since has punched out 104, 181 & 120. Lycett, Witts & Bellchambers will test him over the coming month.

JohnDJ59 · 29/06/2019 at 13:32
Hi Mav. I started with Lycett at R2, traded Butters to O'Brien in round 5 on the bubble, moved Lycett fwd, O'Brien to R2, all good. My big mistake was trading both out. Lycett to Hayes in round 7 for some cash in the bank and O'brien to Grundy in round 10.

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 13:45
Amen to that Hed…he's just a witches hat as a forward.

Swans2012 · 29/06/2019 at 14:03
Done the same holt, looking like a good call at the moment

The Lost Boys · 29/06/2019 at 14:27
Is Sicily actually playing n the back half? Scoring terribly…
Wish I had of though to use him as an emergency!

Swans2012 · 29/06/2019 at 16:34
I think I’m taking his 80 odd over playing Logue, you?

Maverick_ · 29/06/2019 at 13:12
In the same situation.
I'm tossing up between fyfe and macrae with it currently on fyfe
I suspect Neale will cop some extra attention from harmes?

Holty01 · 29/06/2019 at 13:34
Fyfe is my preferred option right now. I might even take the punt on Marshall.

JEL · 29/06/2019 at 14:53
They're the 2 I'm looking at, also with Fyfe atm.
Maxxy has a poor record against the Lions so I've ruled him out. It means he will probably go big and I'll be kicking myself.

JohnDJ59 · 29/06/2019 at 13:44
If I had L.Parker, I would be putting the C on him.

Swans2012 · 29/06/2019 at 14:57
I’m really surprised people are doubting the two ruckmen….

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 15:07
Yeah me too Swanny, no love for Grundy out there?, he's a no brainer for me.

Swans2012 · 29/06/2019 at 15:13
If I had grundy he’d be the man, so it’s gawn for me.
8 of his last 9 have been over 126 (other one a non disaster 109). Then last five over 144….history scmistory he’s the one for me (if macrae Vc flops)

Holty01 · 29/06/2019 at 15:41
Last year during his good run there was only 1 average score for him and that was 113 against North. To top it off, Collingwood smashed them. Hence my reluctance to put the c on him.

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 15:55
Rainy weather at Adelaide Oval tonight apparently…same at Optus on Sunday too.

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 15:39
Starting to get amongst it now Rocksta, now the rain's stopped..it'd be pretty slippery out there still though.
Ton for Sic in the last, wooo!! :)..or maybe 83 lol

Rocksta_ · 29/06/2019 at 15:01
The runner must have told him about our posts cause he picked up a bit almost immediately after we made them.

KSinny · 29/06/2019 at 16:31
And then he gets 7 points from halfway through the 3rd….

KSinny · 29/06/2019 at 16:39
Make that 1 point!!!

Swans2012 · 29/06/2019 at 16:32
Add yeo to that, dunno how he scratched a 90 out but happy he did!

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 16:50
Have you checked the weather reports for the 2 grounds without a roof?…that might help you make up your mind mate.

COREYSC · 29/06/2019 at 19:29
Yeah I’ve gone with Fyfe this week I think he’s the most likely to beat his projected!

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 19:44
Fair enough mate I reckon the guy playing in dry conditions is a better chance of scoring over a wet weather game. Good luck.

COREYSC · 29/06/2019 at 20:50
Yeah and I just reckon guys coming off a bad score often bounce back and go large!

Jace · 29/06/2019 at 17:04
Wet and windy in Adelaide.

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 17:28
I'd still be tempted to punt Answerth Pranav cause his days are probably numbered anyway, and you end up with more money for your future trades.

Pranav · 29/06/2019 at 18:43
Yeah this is probably the right move to make. I also have Hore who has definitely maxed out in price but might have to hold him this week cause I don’t really want to be playing answerth on field

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 18:53
Heeney going ok but Lloyd's been completely shut down by Scheer apparently.

JEL · 29/06/2019 at 20:55
Yep, looks like Heeney pulled one out of the bag in the 2nd half.
Might need to show Lloyd a picture of what a football looks like, doesn't appear to have seen one today.

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 18:42
Yeah Sam, the game's better for Nicnat being back, weagles would be stoked too they don't have to rely solely on Hickey and Vardy anymore.

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 18:28
Think he's getting tagged today Holty, probably still tons up in the last knowing him.

Sam_01 · 29/06/2019 at 19:23
Nope stunk it up typical of my team this round

Holty01 · 29/06/2019 at 18:45
Last years premiers.

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 19:57
Who'd you end up going for Derek?

Derek · 29/06/2019 at 21:05
Went with Lycett.
Always keen on him but only if he was the #1 ruck
He’s a POD and gives the ruck cover

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 21:12
Nice mate…hope it works out, he's travelling ok so far this game.
Pretty good considering the weather there.

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 19:33
Could trade a hore to a Seagull lol

Blue · 29/06/2019 at 19:57
good timing.
welcome my side in a couple of weeks

gator59 · 29/06/2019 at 20:13
The Bont

COREYSC · 29/06/2019 at 20:52
57 at half time, he can launch from here break the tag hope is not lost

Sam_01 · 29/06/2019 at 19:59
Atleast you didn’t have danger holty! Happy that treloar and bont are going nuts in the first quarter
Also Grundy is a Unique player for me this week in a real close one looks like he will get me over the line

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 20:14
Bad luck mate…that sucks, I knew there was a reason I chose him over Macrae, just haven't seen the reason until tonight, hope he scores 200!

JohnDJ59 · 29/06/2019 at 20:19
I can't see him scoring under 180 at the moment, so he will give it a shake.

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 20:23
Don't think this driving rain will help much with the scores though John.

JohnDJ59 · 29/06/2019 at 21:30
You were right about the rain Russty.

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 21:44
Yeah so much for 180…Bont will be lucky to get to 130 the way he's gone since half time. Hope I'm wrong.

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 21:21
Agree Mav, I think they should give him a decent chance to prove himself for the rest of the season, and then at the end of the season, if they decide he hasn't done enough, then think about replacing him.

Maverick_ · 29/06/2019 at 21:33
100% Russty. We've had several good wins under him already and playing some nice footbal hel has to be seriously considered.
Rhyce has an impressive resume also it's not like his some part timer that has no idea.

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 21:42
If he can knock off a potential top 4 side by 30 points or more, he should be given a decent chance, that's something the fans should be able to decide, rather than a closed board room full of rich fat fks.

Maverick_ · 29/06/2019 at 21:49
Playing a very very good opposition tonight though AB 😉 haha
But in all seriousness you blokes have looked flat all night and north have been relentless tonight hit you blokes hard at every opportunity. I hope we lock in Rhyce Shaw he deserves the job

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 21:46
Guess not then?….feels like when the Internet was first invented…in 1995, when everything lagged, all the time.

Maverick_ · 29/06/2019 at 21:52
I can't say i've experienced any lag..
maybe close down your brazzers page in the background might be slowing things down? haha

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 21:55
Seems like the only way it works at a decent speed Mav is if I close down all my other pages, otherwise it sucks, and I have 45 mbs NBN

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 14:04
Ok cheers Lek dawg, seems to be only happening sometimes.

Derek · 29/06/2019 at 22:16
I did it this week. We’ll see how long he stays as sole ruck

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 22:35
Gotta stick with him now Derek, unless you have a bunch of trades in reserve…good call in the end, wherever you got your tips from.

Maverick_ · 29/06/2019 at 22:17
Great move russty as long as Ryder stays out you should be right.

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 22:37
I have faith Mav, there has to be a changing of the guard sometime…and I think it could be now.

Sam_01 · 29/06/2019 at 22:31
got Some attention I think always the way with bont, will tear it if you leave him to it

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 22:39
Yeah what a shame…what might have been?…still happy with his score though.

Sam_01 · 29/06/2019 at 22:33
I’d go gawny, I doubted Grundy based of past stats and I was wrong id just back gawny into tear it

Russty_ · 29/06/2019 at 22:44
1631 with 8 to play this week Sam, hoping for a solid score this week.

The Bont · 30/06/2019 at 09:06
My advice would be to take Grundy's score.
No other ruckman in the comp has scored more than 100 against S.Martin (and that was Grundys 100). If Gawn does monster Martin which will be very difficult at the Gabba, he may only get 10 more points so I suggest playing it safe

The Lost Boys · 30/06/2019 at 16:09
Thanks for the advice and very glad I took it! Looking great right now – Gawn on 9 points almost 10 minutes into the second. While my opponent ended up changing Captain to Fyfe, I think Marshall going bonkers with 161 should keep me on top 🙂

The Bont · 30/06/2019 at 09:07
Logue is the better option but if your going to lose then put hore on the field to have that difference

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 14:09
Yeah bloody Duursma Holty!…I wanted to field Hind but thought, no Duursma's pretty reliable, wrong!
Bad luck with Moore there mate, he would have to ton up this week.

Holty01 · 30/06/2019 at 11:15
Nice move Hawk. If he is out for a few more weeks it’s a brilliant move mate. I guess all we can hope for is Carlton coming out and being honest about the injury.

Lekdog · 30/06/2019 at 13:45
Do I have to ban you now?

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 14:00
Hey TH, big call but you know what's right for your team, Mac's score would've lessened the pain and that they're both mega-guns.
Time will tell I guess whether it was the right move or not but getting Macrae in is never a bad move.
I'm hoping Crippsy is back next week as I can't really afford to trade him out…too damn low.
Cheers mate.

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 14:06
Hey Hed, I think it leans towards the Fyfe + 270 one, Walsh and Hore would almost have to ton up..could be a stretch.

Holty01 · 30/06/2019 at 14:10
Fyfe

hedski · 30/06/2019 at 14:36
I'm hoping Harmes goes to Neale, I'm the one with Fyfe obviously. 👍

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 14:54
Reckon you got it in the bag mate unless Walsh does a ton and Hore get's back to his best, Neale will probably cop the Harmes tag.

hedski · 30/06/2019 at 15:10
Ah crap just realised he has the E on Stack and can swap Cripps on for Walsh if he needs to….
I think he's dropping in for a beer to watch melb/bris game so I will have to distract/misinform him if possible!!!
Underhanded but necessary.

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 15:12
Maybe put some powdered sleeping pills in his first beer mate?…LOL

hedski · 30/06/2019 at 17:31
He took Stack, need 170+ from Fyfe now.

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 18:18
Looking good mate haha

Holty01 · 30/06/2019 at 14:10
I know the feeling mate. Have Duursma onfield instead of Moore. It happens I guess.

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 15:09
Hind's gona backwards now…only on 48 at 3/4 time…Marshall is a GUN!

No idea · 30/06/2019 at 15:04
I reckon Gawn over the recent form of Neale

JohnDJ59 · 30/06/2019 at 15:58
Neale to bounce back.

Dash · 30/06/2019 at 17:51
And I went Gawn 🙂 haha, Tops off my Supercoach year!

No idea · 30/06/2019 at 15:12
I hear ya. Made the same mistake, thinking I was bringing in a premium. Not sure what the hell has happened to him since

KSinny · 30/06/2019 at 15:21
I think it might be Short back in the team

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 15:27
Yeah I traded out Goldy for Grundy this week but it'll work out in the long run mate, as will your trade.

No idea · 30/06/2019 at 15:39
Can't go wrong with Grundy long term. Mind you, I've been running with Gawn/O'Brien, with the plan being to upgrade of course ROB to Grundy eventually. Though with ROB's resurgent last few weeks and sudden burst of cash generation I might have to keep putting that off for a bit longer (although Lycett might sort his out next week)

JohnDJ59 · 30/06/2019 at 16:09
65 is usually my cut off score for rookies, but I'm thinking of moving that down to 55 after the way some have been scoring lately.

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 16:38
Gawn back in the 3rd so maybe not a total disaster, not sure what syet means.
Can't give up, your league mates won't appreciate that… keep going.

Lazza · 30/06/2019 at 16:21
There goes my week .. Capt Gawn scores 10..,

NoLanguage96 · 30/06/2019 at 16:23
FFS that's me done

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 16:34
Maybe he can still salvage a half decent score in the next half?..kudos to him for getting back out there.
This kinda shit happens every week this time of year lol, wish I still had 10 trades left.

Dan · 30/06/2019 at 17:29
I don’t like the sound of a big guy with a twisted ankle. I wonder how long it will take to recover from that?

Holty01 · 30/06/2019 at 16:13
was having a shocker but just rolled his ankle in the 2nd. Hasn’t come out of the room as yet

No idea · 30/06/2019 at 16:22
Sorry, my fault. I just switched the C from Fyfe to Gawn at the last minute to match my HTH opponent

The Lost Boys · 30/06/2019 at 16:27
Well glad I changed my C from Gawn and kept Grundy's score – also glad I still have ROB as might need him for next week!

No idea · 30/06/2019 at 16:29
Gawn back on the ground; albeit up forward

Maverick_ · 30/06/2019 at 17:52
Fyfe 70 at QT, ouch!!

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 18:17
Bummer Mav…Fyfe's going nutty with the scoring, could go massive.

Maverick_ · 30/06/2019 at 18:21
yep! it was the weather that put me off going Fyfe wasn't sure how he'd go in the wet weather i will never doubt him again.
But i'll still take a 90 from gawn

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 18:15
I got him for 440 TC, but could've got him for 340….it's not just at the moment either, he's Saints number 1 ruck now and will be for many years to come.

JEL · 30/06/2019 at 18:19
Got him in last week, better late than never.

Maverick_ · 30/06/2019 at 18:25
Wonder why saints are interested in draper from essendon and willing to give him a great contract also
just an insurance incase marshall goes down maybe? clearly going to be a gun for years to come

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 18:40
I think it's because Pierce seems to have ongoing concussion issues Mav, maybe permanent, and Longer is a bit of a spud, could be hoping for a dual Ruck attack in the future or at least a viable backup…maybe they've learned their lesson from letting McEvoy go with no good options looking fwd.
Doesn't hurt to plan ahead for a change.

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 19:11
Kent is worth about 12 cents Neil.

KSinny · 30/06/2019 at 18:41
Got him for 433k obviously very happy with him, unlike Houli who I got 3 weeks ago for 541k…

Dash · 30/06/2019 at 18:39
I feel your pain. My oppo went Fyfe C and I needed to take a punt to hope Gawn went crazy. Backfired big time. Ouch

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 18:47
Bad luck lads, always next week to bounce back…just rotten luck this week.

hedski · 30/06/2019 at 18:47
You will still beat me Derek just checked.

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 19:10
I tried to tell that to some people before the season started but got attacked for it, everyone reaches their use by date, even champions of the past.

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 20:08
Hard to know these things mate, it's like trying to predict the future.

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 20:09
No idea what par could be this week mate…so many variables came into play this week. Seems like a decent score.

JohnDJ59 · 30/06/2019 at 20:15
2253 for me, the fact I only won 3/9 league games says we are way under par for the week.

TOPHAWK1 · 30/06/2019 at 20:16
Ended up with 2301. Will take that after all the dramas today.

Sam_01 · 30/06/2019 at 20:20
2357 not to bad considering Gawn injury Cripps on the pine and stinkerfield as my captain
Was tossing up him or mcrae cost me a 2400

Ned_Starkers · 30/06/2019 at 20:25
2351 for me.

silversovereign · 30/06/2019 at 21:32
2205, some great scores and some very ordinary on s, including Gawn and Bewley (who had to field for Cripps)

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 20:16
Thanks the Holt…I smashed everyone this week as it turns out, could be my highlight of the season?…lol…hope your rank didn't slip too much….some weeks just don't go your way, it's the bouncing back that matters the most…through having a solid team.
Keep on trucking mate.

JohnDJ59 · 30/06/2019 at 20:50
You certainly smashed me Russty, I moved down four places in The Rat Pack after that pasting, hanging on for dear life in 8th spot. At least I had a win in the JR Mega League to clime out from the bottom two.

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 20:57
Sorry bud, I don't like beating my friends, but sometimes it has to happen, I just got lucky this week…I still have some seriously questionable choices in my side…yeah Mega league is one I'll be happy to make the bottom 8 and contend in the loser final hahah, it's been a struggle this year to get further north than that, a testament to the talent in the league there.

JohnDJ59 · 30/06/2019 at 21:55
Yes a really tough league the JR Mega, I've been in the bottom four from the start, it's the only league that I haven't been competitive in. You having Lycett and Marshall should see you climbing up the ladders and ranking if they keep going like they are.Trading out Lycett in round seven would have to be my biggest blunder of the year, just in front of trading O'Brien out in round ten. I'm really going to have to think a bit longer about my trades next year, I've made at least six terrible decisions this season.

dontblushbaby · 30/06/2019 at 20:33
Half way through the last 1/4 Fyfe was on 150 and got scaled back because Carlton were winning, as for the scoring Fyfe had 8 marks ,7 tackles and 1 Clangers @ 69% Efficiency. where as Curnow had 3 Marks, 4 Tackles and 5 Clangers @ 62% Efficiency , the score involvement is also a big component that goes unnoticed , just my take Sid

SidViscious · 30/06/2019 at 22:02
Seriously DBB? You reckon that 4marks and 3 tackles in a losing team has greater value than 10 clearances and 7 kicks, NFW.
Fyfe got scaled back because CD had already awarded 3300 points for the game with 15 minutes to go. The reason that they ran out of points is because in the first half Fyfe was getting them for having a heartbeat. 104 at half time for 13 disposals 3 marks and 2 tackles is a joke
It seems that if Fyfe/Macrae/Neale/Cripps/Oliver get clearances and contested possessions they have value but when other players get them they don't score at all.

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 20:32
Glad I'm down south mate and don't have to deal with the lynch mob lol

TOPHAWK1 · 30/06/2019 at 20:41
LOL Great score too this week Russty. You are up and about. You are out Donnybrook way? Been there many times either for work or leisure. Great spot. Plenty of apples down there! Just ask Eddie Betts! "How do you like them apples!" LOL Carlton did well today. Cheers mate.

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 20:49
Thanks Hawk, gotta have one good week per year haha, I'm further south and west than that, don't want to say exactly in case Nice Person wants to come and kill me lol….there's some big ole waves around these here parts though 🙂

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 21:00
Cheers Hed, was my best week of the year by far, hopefully move up a few places…it's a crapshoot really as to how it goes from here week to week….for all of us.

The Ranger · 30/06/2019 at 23:46
Cheers Hedski, havin an ordinary year so it's nice to get a good one every now and then.
Aiming to be annoying in Finals whether they be minor or major.

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 21:38
That's pretty amazing since you had the C on Gawn this week Mav…I'd hate to see your score if you had the C on Fyfe, Lycett or Grundy, Macrae…well done mate, that's very solid considering.

JohnDJ59 · 30/06/2019 at 22:02
That's a great score Mav, considering you had Gawn as C, nothing worse than when your captain gets injured during a game. I thought my 2253 was way below par, but I actually moved up 905 places to 14,160 rank, considering my team is on life support, I'll take that.

Lazza · 01/07/2019 at 12:32
Yep, well done NDD … Gotta agree with DavidC … what was I doing putting the C on Gawn … arrrgghh.

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 22:45
Yeah that's all I wanted to say mate, not looking to pick a fight…let the figures tell the story in the end, I enjoy playing against my mates, and none of them are anything like that flog, hope he stays in his hole where he belongs.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 30/06/2019 at 22:59
remember the fire rust 🙂

Russty_ · 30/06/2019 at 22:46
From today's game Whitey, I think it's around 2 weeks before Jack gets back.

JugHead · 30/06/2019 at 23:31
The good news is you won't be the only one in the crapper. Not by a long way.
Its actually tempting to trade Gawn out (what am I saying????), grab one of the cheaper in-form ruckmen and use the cash elsewhere….

JohnDJ59 · 01/07/2019 at 13:23
Agree, my original picks were Grundy into Fyfe, but changed to Danger into Grundy. Missed out on Fyfe in theory, but I would have taken the 133 from Grundy if I'd had him as my VC. Gawn was never in my thoughts due to his history against Stef Martin.
