Summary:
Kade Simpson (DEF, $686,000) is back in, reverse those trades! Jack Macrae (MID, $817,000) is also back but with a breakeven near 200 I wouldn’t be jumping on just yet. Toby Greene (FWD, $643,000) falls into the same boat, watch and wait for him to find some form before considering. Jake Waterman (FWD, $346,000) is back for the Eagles but coaches should look to move him on ASAP as his price is on the slide. Isaac Heeney (FWD, $630,000) returns after missing one game with a concussion, I would wait a week on him as well, if not two. Finally, we have some new rookies this week. Colin O’Riordan (DEF, $170,000) scored 169 Fantasy points in the NEAFL last week, and Alex Morgan (DEF, $170,00) has had some strong form in the VFL.
Of the outs, Logan Austin (DEF, $408,000) and Andrew Brayshaw (MID, $466,000) are injured and should be moved out of your side. And an annoying blow for some coaches that targeted him as a POD, Marcus Bontempelli (MID, $587,000) is out after an appendix surgery.

Hi Ollie, cheers for doing the team sheets – looking good so far!
We’ve been fairly lucky to avoid major carnage lately and haven’t heard any rumours so far this week so fingers crossed we don’t get any curve balls tonight!

What a very much appreciated early opening of the Team Sheets and an excellent pre-team drop summary of what to expect. All this made available at 3.43pm Thursday.
This is as good an opening of Team Shhets as it could get. Thanks.
Hope the team drops are able to be announced here in parallel with the Traders live session.
Discussion by forum post as well as by podcast-listening is optimal
All the very best in stimulating the discussion here Ollie.
Your effort seems inspired. Again, thanks.

Hey thanks for the feedback! I’m a bit of a slowpoke so I like to organise things in advance…I doubt I’ll ever have the teams dropping here at EXACTLY the same time as the podcast, but I’ll do my best!

July 12, 2018 at 6:35 pm
Crouch is safer beams can go bigger depends if your feeling lucky
Ballantynes Day
July 12, 2018 at 6:39 pm
I’d personally go with Beams purely because of his recent form.

ed philips is back this week, averages 75 and has BE of of 20. i reckon he still has some very important cash to make and could allow you to trade out a 100avg player to a 110avg player in a few weeks

Andrew Brayshaw’s omission was the curve ball for me. Wasn’t expecting that so it’s prompted a rethink of my trades this week. I don’t like the sound of “groin” lol
No worries, teams selections all good so far
Savabeer
July 12, 2018 at 8:21 pm
Wow, no green lights for players who have been selected… til after partial lockout.
Nick
July 12, 2018 at 11:12 pm
This is the same company that made no effective changes (other than backwards ones) for this year, took until round 16 to update ‘2017’ to ‘2018’ on the stats page and put the chat boxes back in for leagues (completely unchanged from previous years of course)…. yet you sound surprised? ;p
Savabeer
July 13, 2018 at 12:40 am
No, not surprised… but it must be up there with their best fails. How could they not know?

I put the vc on danger and the c on titch …i have sier or ahern as my bench cover… is there anyway to take dangers score or im up the creek without a puddle ?? Pls help
Plugger
July 12, 2018 at 11:46 pm
You can use any line for placing a non-playing captain and reallocate the C off from Tich. Who do you have currently on the bencheach of each line that is not selected? I VC’ed Danger and had Tich as captain. Am now putting Flynn (Ruc) who is not selected on the field, and placing the ‘C’ on him and S.Martin on the bench (with the ‘E’ on him). Do you have something like that? You would be stiff if you had no options.

July 12, 2018 at 11:51 pm
Luke
The only way is to place the C on a non playing player
They can be in any position as long as you’ve got an emergency
Do you have Smith or Redman 🤔
If you got a full 30 squad then slaughter a trade
Only if you want the 302 points
Good luck 👍
j
July 13, 2018 at 8:11 am
Redman would be the ideal candidate – ruled out for the rest of the Fantasy season. Then guys like Joel Smith or Austin, who are listed as injuries for this round but it is unclear how severe those injuries are – i.e., they are unlikely to be brought in as a late in, but statistically more likely than Redman.
I wouldn’t risk playing Russian Roulette by putting the C on someone like Darcy Cameron or Sier, who are still in the extended squad.

July 12, 2018 at 11:20 pm
Took Danger as vc last week. One week too early.
