Rookie master Jeppa returns to the Bulletin for a chat this week, with plenty of swagger too after defeating Tbetta Than You very comfortably in the DT Talk Writer’s League. As always, the boys offer up the Trolling and Polling votes for the week, plus we play ‘Ask Uncle Jep’ after taking a look at those dastardly Taggers.
Don’t forget to keep up to date with @JeppaDT‘s prolific work with the Juniors plus his weekly contributions to the SC GOLD service!
Below I’ve included a couple of visual aids for the Taggers section – hopefully it gives you some kind of idea who to avoid and which teams to exploit in the coming weeks!

Thoughts on Holding Hanley and Mummy for 1 week then re assess where they are at.
I think Picking Up Lloyd and Crouch is more important Thoughts?
Tbetta
April 16, 2014 at 9:00 pm
Assuming you’re talking about Fantasy here?
I’d prioritise points over cash, every time. Deal with the injuries first, then reassess rookies next week.
Duncan
April 16, 2014 at 9:32 pm
Hmm Ok then Lloyd or Crouch which is a better option to pick up this week will grab the other the next?
Shaun Vitaljich
April 16, 2014 at 9:45 pm
They are both out for 4 weeks? dont you think points is abit more important then abit of cash ahaha
Duncan
April 16, 2014 at 10:13 pm
Yeah my Plan was to take the Point hit for 1 week then Trade next week
Tbetta
April 16, 2014 at 9:49 pm
Probably Lloyd and let Matt Crouch go. Mid rooks are dime-a-dozen, Crouch is by no means a ‘must-have’.
gambler
April 16, 2014 at 10:31 pm
How are they a dime-a-dozen? There’s only a handful of good rooks that will get to 400-500k, i’d say its important to be on most of them if you want to be competitive at end of year. Crouch will more likely than not be one of these.
Tbetta
April 16, 2014 at 10:48 pm
As in, decent midfield rooks pop up all throughout the year, but you’d be hard pressed to find a decent backmen/forward on any given week.
Look at it another way – how many midfield rooks would you be comfortable starting compared to forward rookies? Dime-a-dozen.
Crouch will more than likely be one of these, but there will be others. Josh Kelly just last week was one of them.
Albert Lloyd
April 16, 2014 at 10:48 pm
Mid rooks are far from a dime a dozen, especially good ones.
The beauty of RDT is that you can grab both before a price rise.
Albert Lloyd
April 16, 2014 at 10:51 pm
As far as Kelly goes, you will pay a premium for him. Crouch is basement priced with elite rookie scoring potential.

is it rolling lockout for the first game?????
Steve
April 16, 2014 at 8:56 pm
Mummy is out for 3-4 weeks mate
Brendan
April 16, 2014 at 9:56 pm
according to the gws website today it is 1-2 weeks
T.Allen
April 16, 2014 at 11:19 pm
They’ve updated the injury list on the AFL website and he’s 3-4 weeks
hazza44
April 16, 2014 at 9:10 pm
Whats more important Hanley or Grundy out??
Tbetta
April 16, 2014 at 9:46 pm
Clearly Hanley, assuming Grundy is fit to play?
Unless you’re talking about Heath Grundy, then yeah… piss him off.
Gunner6288
April 16, 2014 at 9:45 pm
Nice stuff lads? What do we reckon Mitchell will score this week?
Tbetta
April 16, 2014 at 9:48 pm
Tom: friggen 60 probably. Hasn’t attended a centre bounce in a fortnight.
Sam: Depends on whether he gets the Guthrie tag. I like 90+ still.
Kane: zip.
Albert Lloyd
April 16, 2014 at 10:49 pm

Great work lads love your work!
Was also becoming worried about Rocky and the extra tagging… do you think this will be much of an issue??
Torn whether to trade Caddy > Gunston or Shiels > Rocky this week because of it
Tbetta
April 16, 2014 at 10:50 pm
Yeah, really not sure what happens there. Has Rockliff ever been tagged in his life? Can’t say I can remember any particular incident.
Seems to be a player that plays so loose going the other way that opposition coaches are happy to let him run free. Of course, that was with Black, Rich and Hanley in the side.
Orestis Gambranis
April 16, 2014 at 11:08 pm
Great work lads,
quick question for people
I have enough for Ablett or Rockliff
Which one do I go with? should I take Ablett’s shared bye with Pendles (who i have) into consideration?
Cheers
Benjo
April 17, 2014 at 11:00 am
Definitely get ablett. He will get 3 million disposals this week against melbourne
Orestis Gambranis
April 17, 2014 at 12:31 pm
Mmm decisions, decisions, I’m swaying towards Ablett
T.Allen
April 16, 2014 at 11:15 pm
Nat Fyfe is back from his suspension this week, what are our thoughts on him as an option to replace the injured Liam Shiels?
Benjo
April 17, 2014 at 11:00 am
Yep I like it he is cheap and is in great form
Tigers
April 17, 2014 at 7:18 am
Should i be trading titchell to chappy/ parker for points or trade titchell or rohan in for lloyd? Even if i get lloyd in what ever money he makes im going to lose heaps on titchell coz of he’s high break even and risk getting another poor score. Whats your advice tbetta?
mememe
April 17, 2014 at 8:38 am
I have mummy, rohan (F7) and shiels
Thinking Mummy < Jacobs and Rohan < Lloyd and benching shiels which means playing Polec, Tyson and Dunstan.
Or should I hold rohan and get in crouch for shiels?
mememe
April 17, 2014 at 8:42 am
Ps playing fantasy.
Wesley
April 17, 2014 at 8:42 am
Thanks lads, I went Houli -> KK and Caddy -> Rocky via Taylor last week which was a massive win. This week i think I will be going Shiels -> D.Swallow Langdon into the mids and X.Ellis to danger and L.taylor back into the mids.
This also helps my bye structure because with the DPP links i can be swapping and so. Thoughts? Is danger worth it?
Albert Lloyd
April 17, 2014 at 9:52 am
Danger isn’t worth it until he pulls out at least one ton this season IMO.
Wright and Dahlhaus present better value at this stage to me.
Wesley
April 17, 2014 at 10:56 am
But are they keepers? I want keepers because it is in RDT and can’t be sideways trading.
Benjo
April 17, 2014 at 11:04 am
There are definitely better midfielders but for a forward he will come back and hopefully average around 90 to 100
candymancan
April 17, 2014 at 9:32 am
i never thought there’d be a day id seriously consider trading in trent west… these ruckmen just a bunch of brittle, lanky, injury plagued bitches
samdiatmh
April 17, 2014 at 10:21 am
or Giles as another alternative, should probably get back to his 2012 scoring with Mumford out of the way for a while
could be a good POD cash-grab (and probably a better scorer than West)
mark
April 17, 2014 at 10:01 am
good ep as always tbetta. I’d maybe lay off calling people retards and spastics though, not a great look
TDominator
April 17, 2014 at 11:39 am
Good ep as always TBetta, just wanted to ask who should i have on my field jono Patton or sam Lloyd
jamie
April 17, 2014 at 1:27 pm
im really uncertain right now… i have shiels and mumford who are both out this week… ive traded mumford to jacobs and have 239k left… i also have caddy who i want to get rid of… should i upgraded shiels to rockcliff or move him to the bench for polec and upgrade caddy to chapman??? please help!!
Stange
April 17, 2014 at 5:47 pm
Three things:
1. The Shiels/Caddy trade can be made later after the Brisy/Richmond game, so assess afterwards for loopholing potential.
2. If a richmond/Brisbane VC is a good score, trade Caddy out, and play Shiels with a reserve in place, to get the loophole score. If the VC score is not good enough, trade out Shiels tommorrow (do you really want 400K sitting on the bench?)
3. Caddy playing for you this week will lose money; Shiels not playing won’t. You can trade Shiels out next week if you don’t have carnage.

G’day, Dream-Teamers.
Just wondering if you would be kind enough to give me your trouts on these trades for RDT
DEF:
D.Swallow, Jaensch, Suckling, McVeigh, Enright, Georgiou / McDonald, Laidler
MID:
Ablett, Beams, N.Jones, S.Mitchell, Tyson, Dunstan, Polec, M.Crouch / Langdon, X.Ellis
RUCK:
Sandilands, B.Grundy / Currie, Thurlow
FWD:
Martin, Dangerfield, Wright, J.Merrett, Caddy, Hunter / Impey, J.K-Harris
Currently swinging towards
Georgiou – Kolodjashnij
&
Caddy – Higgins
Thoughts? :)
Almen

Thoughts* not fish.. Thanks
Jeremy
April 17, 2014 at 3:30 pm
Does anyone know if hickey from st Kilda back this week
TDominator
April 17, 2014 at 5:05 pm
Almen maybe go caddy to pav ( more consistent) or upgrade to a premo if u have enough cash
Jake
April 17, 2014 at 5:54 pm
Will caddy be sub this week?
Stange
April 17, 2014 at 5:58 pm
No one knows.
That game is on Monday.
Jeremy
April 17, 2014 at 6:30 pm
Field griffith or Langdon this week
Tim
April 17, 2014 at 7:03 pm
Probably Griffith against Bris. He should have an easier time of it this week.
Tim
April 17, 2014 at 7:00 pm
Lloyd or Fasolo on field this week?
