Nice! Always feels like it’s meant to be when you have the exact cash…
Curious to know why you prefer the Hoff over Sicily?

Think he’s more consistent and will Hopefully push him fwd at some stage . I’m also hopefully gunna get Mcdonald from the dees down back next week all going well as a bit of a pod

Hi all
Westhoff or Sicily?
PK
June 14, 2018 at 8:49 am
I perfer Westoff but Sicilys Def/Fwd status would be pretty handy..
Bomber Thompson
June 14, 2018 at 12:12 am
Trade Coniglio to Gaff? Loving Gaff rn and really want him in but it will probably come at the expense of Cogs. Just a bit worried about his post-concussion games, give how Merrett played after his. Any idea?
Fooz
June 14, 2018 at 2:16 pm
Gaff still needs to learn how to tackle IMO.
Rando
June 14, 2018 at 7:03 pm
Wouldn’t compare Merrett to Coniglio as Merrett couldn’t handle a tag. Coniglio will be fine and in regards to Gaff, from personal experience he is great besides he doesn’t tackle or can handle a tag.

What’s the better trade?
1. Hibberd, Walters & Ridley > Burton, Wingard & Bryce-Jones and 40k for next week? 15 on the field this week.
2. Christensen, Walters & Hibberd > Westhoff, Burton & Bryce-Jones and 62k for next week? 16 on the field.
Going by a suggestion someone made earlier and playing the breakevens this week. But would having 3 Port players in the forward line be too much. Westhoff, Gray & Rocky?

Gaff or Curnow? Cheers

This is what Iam thinking:
I am bringing in Gaff this week for Guelfi.
Next week Seedsman – Kelly, banking $246
After the bye its either Nic Nat – Grundy, or Bont to Macrae.
Confused
June 14, 2018 at 11:43 am
Need help deciding between the following 2 options.
1 – Trade Seedsman to Curnow which will mean trading out Tim Kelly and Cunico next week
2 – Trade Seedsman to Yeo which will mean trading out Tim Kelly and Austin/Doedee
I know that Curnow is likely to outscore Yeo but also think that Austin/Doedee should go before Cunico.
Thanks for any suggestions/input.

June 14, 2018 at 11:50 am
Any chance there’ll be news of Laird before the bounce tonight?!
Seedsman will get another last chance, and lose some more $$, if Laird is out..
Kingzy
June 14, 2018 at 11:58 am
I highly doubt Laird will play this week mate, id say 80/20% he wont play.
Seedsman will drop about $25K this week, but is a heartbeat on the field.
Could even score over 70 lol
EmeraldIllusion
June 14, 2018 at 1:02 pm
99/1% in my opinion. Cant see him playing.

Remember when Seeds was a lock for top 6 DEF. Oh, they were happy days.
Fooz
June 14, 2018 at 2:04 pm
I think that Adelaide, where they are on the ladder, will have to play Laird – broken hand and all.
So I’m going to hold Laird and trade out Seedsman – as I think the injury that Seedsman had when he was a late withdrawal – the abdominal strain – is still lingering, and he is definitely losing cash… and Laird’s fitness isn’t in question, it’s just a widdle bwoken bone in his hand.
Alan J
June 14, 2018 at 2:23 pm
Adelaide could play it overly cautious.. They took a risk with Sloane and they have suffered for that..
Alan J
June 14, 2018 at 2:47 pm
Looks like he’s out, so I need to trade him and hold Seedsman to get 18…
stan
June 14, 2018 at 12:08 pm
spargo to macrae (59K left)
OR
Giles-langon to westhoff (237k left)
Fooz
June 14, 2018 at 2:05 pm
Option 1 – then you can loophole it with a better Captain score than the Hoff.
Matt
June 14, 2018 at 12:43 pm
Hold Dusty Martin still if he is named? If not, who should I trade him to?
EmeraldIllusion
June 14, 2018 at 12:53 pm
Any help is appreciated.
My team before trades:
DEF: Whitfield, Laird, Simpson, Austin, Rice, Doedee (Murray, Mihocek)
MID: Macrae, Mitchell, Gibbs, Seedsman, Taranto, Kelly(Gee), Spargo, Giro (Fogarty Banfield)
RUCK: Grundy, Martin (McInerney, Pittonet)
FWD: McLean, Heeney, Smith, Sicily, RGray, Fritsch (Giles-Langdon, Murphy)
Cash: $22k
18 “available”.
I was thinking Murray, ZGL and Banfield for Wingard, Wines and Wilson. Leaving me with $32K. It also still leaves me with Fogarty, Pittonet and Murphy who I all want to get rid of though.
Fooz
June 14, 2018 at 1:52 pm
Does anyone know if there’s a loophole (partial lockout) for RDT ?
And as I’m still cutting my teeth on Supercoach – is that a rolling lockout always?
Cheers all

State of the Game Questions for the broader community:
a) Do faster contests and more open play mean higher fantasy scoring? i.e. Would it mean more +6s (mark/kick combo) than +4 (tackles) in tighter games…?
b) I read that Danger et al. want the length of the game trimmed down to 100 minutes. Interesting how quickly people forget that the games used to be 25 minutes + time on in a quarter, and now they are only 20 minutes + time on… So question is: If the footy players want shorter games can we then have more of them… e.g. a 34 round season where everyone plays everyone else twice? Imagine the fantasy season going that long!!!

Okay, with my team I need to trade Laird, Phillips and Ah Chee this week to field 18 this week and field 18 next week.
So looking at a few options:
Laird –> Yeo
Phillips –> Gaff
Ah Chee –> Wingard
(Leaving me with $8k)
or
Laird –> DBJ
Phillips –> Curnow
Ah Chee –> Wingard
(Leaving me with $62k)
or
Laird –> Yeo
Phillips –> Curnow
Ah Chee –> Kerr (from Carlton)
(Leaving me with $242k for next week)
Thoughts would be great please?

June 14, 2018 at 7:03 pm
Fish, you gotta do what you think is best,
Obviously leaving no cash in the bank is a dumb move but 3 premiums is tempting
DBJ is looking like a Zach Tuohy scorer which is a Tick in my book,
Number 2 is what id pick, but i dont like Wingard
But 2 is my pick out of those options,
Good luck
Mad Fish
June 14, 2018 at 7:08 pm
I could actually get Ryan from WCE instead of Kerr, would that be better and make option 3 the go to move?
stoo
June 14, 2018 at 7:08 pm
I’d go 1 but only just over 2. Avoiding two Port trades lets you wait for Friday teams.
You say you have to but it’s a pity about Phillips, he has plenty of money to make.

76k, Phillips out is annoying. Thinking of doing:
Seedsman > Brander
Tim Smith > Ballard
Phillips > Curnow leaving 92k or do I go Mutch > Gaff leaving 9k. Any other trade ideas are welcome, thanks.

Hey mate – id go phillips to Curnow. better bank for next week (still important), Curnow decent run ahead, can still grab Gaff next week (reports are mutch killed it in 2s, ?more chance to come back and make more coin then phillips).
Just my 2c

I’m in the same boat. If I get DBJ I can get to Curnow, but can only get to Gaff if I get Yeo.

So far going Yeo and Curnow, Gaff should be excellent though so don’t hesitate to get him

Gaff and Yeo is a killer combo mad fish…pull that trigger! DBJ still going to need to be traded before end of year, Gaff and Yeo aren’t missing games any more!

June 14, 2018 at 7:28 pm
So after my bye plans got thrown out the window by good rookies being dropped (Murray, T.Smith, E.Phillips,…Billings), inopportune injuries (Laird, Coniglio, Pearce) and dusty having a mid-season break to freshen up for his bender planned for the bye weekend I have just managed to scrape together 18 on field again for the 2nd week running.
What do you lads think of:
Out: Zerrett, Murray, Phillips
In: Gaff, McLean (VC), Brander +50k left
Shame to kick Zerrett, but not 100% convinced he is top line mid for rest of season now with increased focus with heppell being out for a bit, whereas Gaff is looking top 10 and McLean is must have fwd line.

Yeo over DBJ.
Flip a coin. (no wrong move) -> Curnow (flipped one for you!)
Matt
June 15, 2018 at 1:23 am
DEF: Laird, Lloyd, Yeo, Simpson, Blakely, Seedsman (Austin, Rice)
MID: Mitchell, Gibbs, Neale, Merrett, Parker, Rockliff, Brayshaw, Phillips (Mutch, Clarke)
RUC: Gawn, Martin (McInerney, Cameron)
FWD: McLean, Smith, Heeney, Westhoff, Christensen, Guelfi (Tim Smith, Ahern)
76k. After reversing my trades countless times, I think i’ve come to my final decision for trades this week.
Seedsman > Brander
Tim Smith > Patty Wilson
Mutch > Curnow, leaving 50k
This leaves 17 on field this week. Need to trade out Seedsman, losing way too much $ and has the bye next week which I’m heavy on. Hopefully Brander can stay in the side for a month or so… Patty Wilson looks to be the popular rookie this week and should stay in Adelaide’s depleted side if they get a win. Finally trading Mutch > Curnow who is the best premo I can get IMO. Clarke should come in over Mutch next week for the bombers having 38 disposals and 11 tackles in the VFL. This will also leave me with 15 on field before trades next week, 16 if Clarke is named. 50k I can use and aim to get Kelly in next week.
Quite long but i’d appreciate other’s opinions on the trades/plan, good luck with the rest of the byes.
