August 20, 2017 at 8:44 pm
what to say? a poor season, have a “full” team, but not the team I envisioned. Still have a rd 1 player who was meant to be upgraded to an uber premo, another rd 1 player who averaged 16 less than I hoped. Did worse than last year and likely to finish with over $160k in the bank (mainly due to final trade) but still. RD 23 tactic? simple, bring in highest averaging player for my most frustrating one.

Thinking of going Gaff > Kelly with first trade.
Second trade will either be Gawn > Grundy, Withers > Houli or Hanners > Zerrett? Which one is best?
Daniel Kotronis

Gaff to Kelly
Gawn to Grundy

Option 1
Tex
August 21, 2017 at 11:41 am
Rockliff -> Kelly
or
Witherden -> Docherty ?
Andy
August 21, 2017 at 12:20 pm
Kelly. He is really firing at the moment, where as the Doc as slowed down a little.
David C
August 21, 2017 at 1:31 pm
Kelly will probably get the Selwood tag next week.
Mike
August 21, 2017 at 4:28 pm
I don’t classify 143 as slowing down! Rocky could score similar to Kelly, but Doc should smash Witherden’s score
PowerAde
August 21, 2017 at 3:16 pm
has to be doc
The Cricket
August 21, 2017 at 10:27 pm
Docherty. Has a good record vs the Swans and won’t be fazed at the SCG. And he’s back in best form.
Kelly, one other hand, will probably cop a Hutchings tag. And the Pig may well go huge at home against North to end his season with a bang – keep the faith!
Tex
August 22, 2017 at 10:48 am
Thank you all, I like your thinking.
M8
August 21, 2017 at 12:30 pm
My team:
Def: Docherty, Adams, Laird, Lloyd, Newnes, Witherden (Glass, Hibberd)
Mid: Mitchell, Dangerfield, Kelly, Merrett, Martin, Treloar, Rockliff, Hannebery, (Allison, Graham)
Ruck: Martin, Gawn (Buzza, Cameron)
Fwd: Sidebottom, Macrae, Heeney, Yeo, Boak, Menegola (Young, Polson)
Cash: $222k
Definitely going Gawn to Grundy which leaves me $166k for final trade, thoughts? Cheers
David C
August 21, 2017 at 1:32 pm
Rocky to Zaharakis??
DoubleA
August 21, 2017 at 2:22 pm
Nice team! I’d say either Rocky (last 5 avg. 86.6) or Hannebury (last 5 avg 88.4) to Dayne Beams (last 5 avg. 129.4). Coin toss which of the two. I think the Kangaroos have been an easier team than Carlton to score on in terms of fantasy points, but I’d also expect the Swans to give the Blues a belting, so who knows. Rockcliff has average ~113 at the Gabba this year, compared with Hannebury averaging ~99 at the SCG, but that’s about the closest I could get to splitting the two. Not sure if Kangas have a decent tagger as I don’t watch their games much, but Beams seems to be pretty able to break a tag and Zorko or Rich are usually as likely as he is to be tagged anyway.
Pedro
August 21, 2017 at 1:43 pm
A. Maxi -> Kreuzer
or

Coniglio to Dangerfield
Or
Greenwood to Wingard?
PowerAde
August 21, 2017 at 4:29 pm
not a great deal of point difference between greenwood and wingard, danger a must have last game
Jay
August 21, 2017 at 5:50 pm
Into 2 grand finals out of 2. One will be closer than the other so very important on trades this week.
Have 132k in bank plus 2 trades, what to do??
Doc, Adams, laird, roberton, newnes, witherden (nyhuis, White)
Titch, danger, zerrett, dusty, Duncan, treloar, beams, rocky (graham, glass)
Martin, Gawn (2 x 150k rookies)
Macrae, menegola, yeo, Heeney, Dahl, WHE (deluca, beech)
Last week lowest scorers were Gawn and roberton and at the moment I see ? Over WHE head
Will
August 21, 2017 at 6:44 pm
Who to get out of Gibbs, Murph or Zorko?
I have all the other premo mids.
Andy
August 21, 2017 at 8:20 pm
Zorko looks the best with the last round draw.
Andy
August 21, 2017 at 8:19 pm
Who to get for Adams if he is out????
-Hurley, Howe, Houlie, or Witherden?
(Already have Doc, Adams, Laird, Hibberd, Lloyd, and Roberton)
The Cricket
August 21, 2017 at 10:34 pm
Hurley, if selected. He’s been in great form and his team will be going all out fighting for their finals spot. Definite home ground advantage too
Juan
August 21, 2017 at 8:44 pm
Have a luxury trade up my sleeve and am looking to uograde Heeney or Lloyd, am leaning towards Heeney to Smith, thoughts?
Matt
August 22, 2017 at 9:53 pm
Who to bring in Kelly, Zorko, Gibbs, Fyfe, Merrett, n jones?
Ray
August 25, 2017 at 2:57 pm
Merrett v freo
stoo
August 24, 2017 at 10:25 am
Don’t feel like upgrades…
Dahl to Smith
Gawn to Sauce
Ray
August 25, 2017 at 2:56 pm
Both great trades with a low chance of backfiring
Adz
August 24, 2017 at 10:58 am
DEF: adams, docherty, laird, simpson, newnes, lloyd (witherden, willis)
MID: Dangerfield, Mitchell, Kelly, Martin, Beams, Merret, Treloar, Rockliff (Partington, Lyons)
RUCK: Kreuzer, Martin (Soldo, Cameron)
FWD: Macrae, Sidebottom, Menegola, Yeo, Heeney, Dahlhaus (Young, Maynard)
226k in the bank. Thoughts?
Will
August 24, 2017 at 4:54 pm
dahl to wingard? thats what i did last week and it cost me 5 points and about 50 grand ha! however, everyone is saying wingard will kill it this week, so he will surely go 120+ right?
Liam
August 24, 2017 at 2:00 pm
Who to take out? Rocky or hanners??
Matthew
August 24, 2017 at 5:25 pm
Hanners
Your Mamma
August 25, 2017 at 3:38 pm
Hanners is showing as out
Will
August 24, 2017 at 4:53 pm
Def: adams, lloyd, laird, hibbo, newness, hodge (witherden, cox)
Mid: titch, danger, zorko, murphy, treloar, m.crouch (since rd 1!) bont, beams (mountford, Allison)
Ruc: gawn, stef (buzza, Cameron)
Fwd:sidebum,macrae,gola,yeo,wingard,Heeney (young,daicos)
I’m fairly happy, and consider this a finished team, but I’m thinking about trading gawn out to Jacobs or ryder?
Obviously if tay tay sits out rd23 then doch comes in. Other than that, any of these players can go 120 on their day so feels like pure lucky dip trading anyone out.
thoughts?

Ray
August 25, 2017 at 2:55 pm
trading sheed for dalh which gives me money to do:
Gawn – jacobs

Trade Gawn to Beams/Gibbs via dpp
