G’day community, Dyl here, stepping in for the busy Fozdaddy this week. COVID-19 is wreaking havoc across the nation so I’m sure there’s panic setting in amongst the community. We’ve got players isolating because they’ve Read more…
What a week it’s been, community. But it’s the last week before finals so hang in there. Like I said last week, it’s the business end of the season, not a lot of spare trades Read more…
Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Around the Grounds. It’s difficult times for us all at the moment, with a lot of the country in lockdowns of some description, we here at Jock Read more…
ROB, 3 round ave 127. Fours tons in a row.
55 round 1
51 round 2
Traded out then bang bang bang..don’t thank me…
Oh man, that sucks. I think he took a couple of weeks to get used to the new mid set up and the rules. I’m tempted to take him as a POD. Could go Grundy but hate to follow a crowd.

Here we go again – more injuries – poor old fire sale team.
For those playing along at home …
The carnage continued at the completion of Rd 5 for the Fire sale team and into Rd 6 with Dunkley going down late.
So after Rd 5 the team needed to replace Cerra, Buddy and Hickey (who were all LTI’s in rd 5) – tad hard to do with only 2 trades!
So this called for some creative thinking.
Trade 1 – I traded cerra to bolton and then using the DPP with campbell moved Bolton into the fwd line and moved buddy onto the bench.
Trade 2 as I go a bit of change out of this trade and with leftover cash from previous trades was able to trade Hickey to ROB.
With LDU back able to play LDU and Powell on field.
Again Dunkley wore the captains armband with pride.
So after these shrewd moves (really have to get creative these days) the fire sale team scored an impressive 2278 for the round.
Overall after 6 rounds total score is 12,690 which would place the team around 17,000th as moved up some spots from last week based on the score in rd 6.
Team is below:
Def: Moore, Doch, Lukious, Rich, Clark, Jiath (Sharp, Highmore)
Mid: Tarranto, Serong, Simpkin, Mcgrath, LDU, JOM, Smith, Powell (Jordon, Gulden, Campbell)
Ruck: ROB, Flynn (Martin)
Fwd: Bolton, Dunkley, Tex, Ziebell, Hind, Impey (Buddy, Rowe)
Trades this week?
Guess I gotta again as I have 2 LTI’s sitting to deal with.
Either going to go two fwds for dunks and buddy or DPP Campbell, swing dunks into the mids and bring in a premo – clarry, walsh, bont etc….
Could also look at swap dunks to parish giving me enough $$ to upgrade Buddy to marshall,.
Bit to think about
never a dull moment
The experiment continues …….
enjoying this trigg NDD
Absolutely loving this
Clarry Walsh and Bont seem too good for this team.
Brown to play Neil
I knew 2 days back people were spruiking Weideman but it was always Benny Haven’t seen a forward take so many one handers since Jacko
He hooks the other bit of the ball with his brillo pad steel wool head.
I think you might be in love with him Neil 😉
Boak to miss this week
Makes me sad
mead?
guess SPP will come back in
Or Rocky
Hey Derek, I accepted your M.Crouch for Dixon offer, it’s pending commissioner approval.
Thanks Mate. I’ve got so many injured players, I just can’t hold into Crouch. Dangerfield, Butters Neale and Dusty all on my bench.
I can see Big Charlie having his moments this year
No worries bud, I picked up Luke Jackson from the frees to replace him, I reckon he’s on the rise, and Charlie has been a bit down on form but he’ll probably come good for you hopefully. You’d have an unbeatable team if all your best were playing.
SPP dominated the SANFL on the weekend
Source of this information please
Boak out with a quad injury
Need a mid priced fwd – Pickett, Atkins or Peter Wright (might do well in his new ruck role)? Or is there anyone better ?
Cheers community
I’d definitely be eyeing off Ben Brown if youre set on a mid priced fwd. Finally gonna have a midfield who can kick it to him.
GATOR take notice Tommy really knows his footy…
All aboard the BB train
whats billings first name? big brother ,bold and beautiful or ah yes Benny Boy
BB King’s blues train
If you get him in Gat and he doesn’t work out, you could always clean your old pots and pans with his hair,
He needs one Russty his old one is worn out ZAC JONES
of that bunch Ben Brown is the one that I like the most. Scares the shit out of me haha
if he kicks some snags our top scoring fwds for the year could be
impey
ziebell
tex
brown
how scary is that?
Add Cameron and Hogan and you’ve got the cheapest set fwd line you could ever imagine.
Jeremy Cameron?
good luck to Mitch Hannan debuting and deserves a break
Ryan in doubt if he doesn’t get up…l give up
It’s been a bit like that for me this year too so far Shake, very disheartening, can’t catch a break, what’s the word with Ryan?
I hope Flynn owners have a contingency plan if he is at R2. GWS yet to confirm Flynn or Mummy.
I’m expecting Mummy. But for all we know he could be busted. GWS are not very trustworthy.
Looks like Treacy might miss too .. hopefully Meek gets a look in..
Maybe Tilthorpe to R3?
I think Kelly can bounce back, has still been getting around the ground and been in top 5 in team disposals. History would suggest it’s just a matter of time. Might take the punt at 480k
I’ve had him all season and will ride him out. If he’s thrown back into the guts he will be an absolute steal for you guys at 480k
Cost me about 620k i think!
P.Ryder confirmed to play
This will be the litmus test for Marshall. Tons up this week and will become a popular trade.
Marshall would’ve been a solid 115 + ave without Ryder but with him, maybe around 100-ish, probably still good enough especially this year. We’ll be lucky to have any players left at all the way this year’s going.
Lachlan McNeil Managed , I was worried Anthony Scott would be also
That’s good news. He’ll be on field this week for me for sure. Might need a ton from him to.make up for an inevitable donut elsewhere.
If it’s like last year, Marshall will play more forward , he still scored well though
Yep. There goes the last of my mid bench….and its only Thursday.
Swans rookies are due for a rest. Rowe stinking it up. Ziebel took a head knock last round………..
Why can I suddenly hear the jaws music in the back of my head………..
I’m hoping swans rooks are safe due to injuries. All hands on deck.
Community need help. I find myself at the lofty heights of top 1000. Never seen before. Do I trade Neale to Ridley via DPP or Neale to Marshall via DPP. Both have risks associated with them. Both will lose money but I think aggressive action is required. Thoughts?
Ridley is going to drop too much coin to ignore I think. Granted playing the blues we could see a good score from him, but that 50k+ will seriously come in handy come end of the season
Neale to a Parish may be better to ‘keep you in the game” and leave you with cash to upgrade to Ridley after his price drops, Agree with what the others said. I wouldnt do this trade if it means a donut somewhere else.
Hi all. For some reason I can’t log in with my user name to this forum with WordPress and Google. Anyone else having the same problem?
😆ignore it, just had to manually put my details in and logged me on. Oops
Should be working, weird
Hi all. What are we doing this week? I’m tossing up whether to get Walsh and maybe Atu for Dunks and maybe a non playing rookie or trade Dunks and Gulden for Brayshaw and Mitchell. My biggest concern is I may have only 23 playing this week so keeping Gulden for a bit longer as a warm body maybe an idea. Thoughts?
Struggling to field a full side also. Dunks down to Impey for a start. Then wait.
I think one of Gulden, Warner or Campbell are getting managed soon. Rowe is also skating on thin ice. If one of them gets dropped, they get upgraded to a premo.
If they are all named, I wait until Sunday teams drop, then work out my second trade.
Dunkley to Zorko or Tex, Gulden to Guthrie or Bont?
Bryan to debut
Needs a solid preseason in the gym but shows promise Shake. Not sure whether jones or melksham dropped or both they are not saying much,,,
Hate to say it but my only hope is a pod that i can’t get- GRUNDY if he goes down I may win a game Isn’t it someone else’s turn?
listening to the podcast just as you said grundy is the priority. It’s costing me… Perfect timing! have to do it.
Have 430K cash in bank. Am proposing the following trades to use some of this cash:
TU May and Shai Bolton in for Rowe& Chapman. 27k left over
TD Frederick (PA) and one of Walsh/Oliver/Fyfe in for Gulden& Chapman. 240k left
Comment for which one of the three premium mids should I take
