My plan was to get Treloar for R8 but just notice he has the Eagles up in perth. The eagles tag so now I am not so sure about bringing in Treloar might be Treloar’s worst round this weekend. Who do I target if not Treloar in the midfield?
Alex
July 20, 2020 at 11:52 pm
I would get Treloar or Adams. I’m not aware of the Eagles tagging?
Dylan
July 20, 2020 at 11:22 pm
Really hoping Brander returns this week as it would help move on Starcevich. Plan to then get English and Rankine for Buddarick and Pittonet. May even cop a donut as moving on Bud, Stacr and Pittonet would be massive long-term and could deal with brander the following week (though this is early thinking and obviously could change)
Damo
July 20, 2020 at 11:24 pm
Which 2 do we think must go this week for me out of Starcevic, Pittonet and D Butler?
Alex
July 20, 2020 at 11:53 pm
Starc and Pitt. Try get Rankine at F6 or Frederick at F8 for Starc and try get up to Gawn, English, Goldy or Grundy
Marcus
July 21, 2020 at 11:24 am
Hi Alex
I know nothing about Federick but I was looking at his score last night. Is he good enough to bring in?
Alex
July 21, 2020 at 9:59 pm
Yeah, he was really clean and looked really good. I imagine he will get a few more games. Wouldn’t start on the field
Balsam
July 21, 2020 at 12:24 am
Starcevic’s BE is huge, and Pitt is up against Goldy this week.
I’m getting rid of those two plus Wingard to get Gawn, Frederick and probably another rook defender
Y2J
July 20, 2020 at 11:29 pm
Starc BE is now way to high of 52 at this point he is just going to blow all that cash we just made from him and Pittonet would be the 2nd if u can get Gawn in do it now and Gawn will have a field day against Brisbane cause Martin is useless in the ruck.
David C
July 21, 2020 at 11:36 am
Actually Gawn has struggled against Martin in the past.
Zeke
July 21, 2020 at 12:10 am
Goldy or English to bring in for Pittonet? Fallen short in cash in getting Gawn…
Paul Fulara
July 21, 2020 at 12:29 am
English. Firstly for price, cheaper than Goldy so can put those funds elsewhere and secondly has been getting it done.
Marcus
July 21, 2020 at 11:27 am
English for Value.

English on current form. He plays more like Gawn/Grundy — as an extra midfielder around the ground. While Goldstein has been playing well, so far he has relied on having a high TOG than any other ruck to keep his scores comparable. If he dips in form (with his team), he’ll probably average 70-80 from here on in.
Zeke
July 21, 2020 at 12:33 am
Fair enough, English will save me cash for next week as well. Could someone like ROB be a decent option? Scores well around the ground regardless of how well his team plays and the hub he is in now has some favourable match ups…
Paul Fulara
July 21, 2020 at 12:27 am
Current Team:
Def: Docherty / Houston / Crisp / Day / Starcevich / Macpherson / Bench – Butler/Macasey
Mid: Macrae / Mitchell / Simpkin / Cripps / Whitfield / Cogs / Selwood / S Simpson / Bench : Anderson & McInerney
Ruck: Brundy / Mr Worldwide / Bench – Xerri
Fwd: Petracca / Brayshaw / Greenwood / B Smith / Parfitt ./ Taylor / Bench – Budarock & M King
Bank = $229k
Would like to get in Rankine for Budarick but should also be focusing on trading Starcevich, Worldwide and potentially Selwood.

July 21, 2020 at 1:05 am
Wingard + Gawn
Titch + English/Goldy
Alex
July 21, 2020 at 1:16 am
Rank-> Bud. You then I think need to decide whether you want Starc up to Lloyd or MWW up to Maxy

Ruck: Grundy, pitt (xerri)
Fwd: Petracca, Whitfield, Wingard, Simpkin, Bailey Smith, Rankine ( sturt, king)
Bank = 169k
Any help for trades I should make would be really appreciated
Zeke
July 21, 2020 at 2:46 am
Firstly you gotta sort out your defence rookies… can’t be copping a 0 again. I would go brander down to McPherson, Starcevich to another defence rookie. That should pocket you enough cash to go Pittonet up to Gawn. If there aren’t any cheap defence rookies available you can go starcevich to will day (316k) which will leave you with about 830k for a solid ruckman.
Carts
July 21, 2020 at 10:28 am
Yep, if Brander isn’t in then he needs to go. Too much cash to leave on the bench.
Rivers > $170k
Brander > $170k
Leaves you $954k to replace Pittonet
zenwarrior13
July 21, 2020 at 12:06 pm
Agree. Need to focus on defence. Look at Derek The Egg Smith from Richmond as a straight swap for Starc.

Fuck: Grundy, Pitt (Xerri)
Fwd: Tracca, Whitfileld, Simpkin, Bailey Smith, Taylor, King (Davis, Sturt)
Bank = 148k
Thinking of going King to Rankine, Serong or Starcevich down, pitt to English. Any other trade thoughts would be appreciated especially considering by lacklustre midfield premiums.

Thinking of getting in Rankine for King, and downgrading Serong or Starcevich to find enough cash to upgrade Pitt to English… any other trade thoughts would be appreciated, especially considering my lacklustre midfield premiums.

Good trades that get rid of you’re main onfield spuds.
English has been on fire for a while now

July 21, 2020 at 8:54 am
After 3 weeks from hell in which my rank plummeted from 2,500 to 10,200, it’s out with McAsey (the doughnut you have when you don’t have a doughnut), Budarick and Starcevich (all 3 were on the field in round 7 – no choice). In with Mills & Rankin (at last), as well as Derek Smith. With only $14k in the bank, what am I going to do next week with Pittonet?
Campbell
July 21, 2020 at 11:15 am
If you still have bewely you can downgrade him and someone else to get enough cash to get to a decent ruck
Carts
July 21, 2020 at 9:18 am
Currently with $31k Cash:
DEF: Lloyd, Docherty, Houston, Sicily, B.Smith, Ash (Rivers, Butler)
MID: Steele, Adams, Viney, Whitfield, Mitchell, Coniglio, Pickett, Simpson (Budarick, H.Jones)
RUC: English, Pittonet (Xerri)
FWD: Petracca, Greenwood, Simpkin, Parfitt, Tucker, B.Smith (Taylor, King)
UTL: T.Brown
Thinking of going:
Taylor > Rankine
Budarick > $170k
Pittonet > ROB
Cannot get to Grundy/Gawn without downgrading an on field player, plus did a little digging into rucks vs Essendon and the lowest score was a 62 by MWW. Next lowest score is a 93 by Callum Sinclair, so happy with ROB.
Any other ideas here???
zenwarrior13
July 21, 2020 at 12:09 pm
Solid side mate. Agree Pitt needs to go up to someone and Rankine is a must in.
If ROB is the best you can get to then great trades.
Belly
July 22, 2020 at 12:20 am
Can you do it with anyone other than Taylor? If he keeps going near 70 he’s got plenty of cash to make, especially once the 10 drops out of his 3 game average.
Is that Darcy Tucker at F5? If so get shot of him to Rankine and get a G in the Ruc
Swans
July 21, 2020 at 10:30 am
Option 1:
King > Rankine
Starcevich > Day
Pittonet > English
Would then plan to upgrade Day to a premium defender in a couple of weeks once he has made more cash
Option 2:
King > Rankine
Mcinerny > Cheap playing rookie on bench
Pittonet > English
This would mean I would have to field Starcevich for a week and then would be able to upgrade to a premium next week.
zenwarrior13
July 21, 2020 at 12:10 pm
Would go option 1 to get Starc off field.
Sohail Liam Deeplaul
July 21, 2020 at 10:55 am
Would you guys rather Gawn or Trelor… Trelor has been on fire
I could either go Pitt to Gawn (via 2 downgrades)
OR
N.Anderson to Trelor (via 2 downgrades)
Makes sense to get rid of Pitt but Trelors form is madness
Campbell
July 21, 2020 at 11:17 am
Gawn
Thomo
July 21, 2020 at 11:02 am
Undecisive here
Option 1 : Maynard to Day, Budarick to Rankine, King to Whitfield
Option 2: Maynard to Day, Budarick to Rankine, Pittonet to Grundy.
Currently got Goldstein as other ruck, option 2 leaves me to have King on the field.
Do I stay with King or Pittonet?
zenwarrior13
July 21, 2020 at 12:11 pm
Why are you trading out Maynard? Must have other options.
Zeke
July 21, 2020 at 5:00 pm
King down, Bud down, Pitt to Grundy.
Sam
July 21, 2020 at 11:15 am
Current team:
Def: Doherty, Houston, Crisp, Weller, Sicily, Starcevich (Rivers, Goddard)

Ruck: Gawn, Grundy (Cameron)
Fwd: Petracca, Whitfield, D Smith, Sympkin, Rankine, King (Aarts, Buddarick)
Utility: Maginness
Cash: 17k
I am struggling to come up with options outside of this:
Out: Rivers, Buddarick, King
In: McPherson, Frederick, B Smith
I want to get Green and Serong off field, but not quite sure how to achieve that
zenwarrior13
July 21, 2020 at 12:14 pm
Not going to generate cash for you but I like Starc to Derek Egg Smith. Should give you more points on ground each week. Looks to have really benefited from Houli being out.
Could look at Green to Simpson as well to give you a rookie that will still make good cash. With Cats injuries he should get plenty of games.
zenwarrior13

Good morning Legends.
Team is
Sic, Doc, Riddler, Houston, Maynard, Starc, ( Rivers, Hamill )
Adams, McGrath, Jelwood, Cogs, Neale, Whitfield, Pickett, Simpson ( JMac, Green )
Gawn, Pitt ( Williams )
B Smith, Tracca, Brayshaw, Ebert, Simpkin, Greenwood ( Cavara, Sturt)
Bennell
Looking at
Jelwood to Rankine
Starc to Derek Egg Smith
Pitt to Grundy
Thoughts?

July 21, 2020 at 1:17 pm
do i upgrade pitt or get a rookie off my field.
Doug
July 21, 2020 at 1:55 pm
Due to Pitt going backwards rapidly, I need to hold Hamill at D6 for 1 more week so I can get in a more reliable R2…
Bud to Rankine (like everyone else)
Starc to any named DEF under 220k
Pitt to English
Doug
July 21, 2020 at 3:55 pm
Thoughts on Wingard?? Averages 91 in 3 wins, but 57 in 4 losses, and needed 2 goals just to get to 55..
Thinking I could punt on Pitt to Ladhams (almost at the f*** it stage) giving me $$ to get Wingard up to a 770k player (Danger, Billings, Lloyd, Pendles, JELLY? or Higgins +126k)
1. Pitt to English & Starc to rookie DEF
2. Pitt to Ladhams & Wingard to Lloyd (via DPP) – benching Hamill
3. Pitt to Ladhams & Wingard to Jelly – benching Serong
Gumby
July 21, 2020 at 7:26 pm
Ladhams probably wont play too many games, unless Port decide to go with 2 rucks or drop Westhoff or Marshall. You could be looking at trading him in a rd or 2, but he could stay as second ruck/fwd. Its a gamble, but I would lean toward someone who is first ruck.
Marc
July 21, 2020 at 2:42 pm

Brander to W Day
Bewley to Rankine
Pitto to t English
$78k left in bank for next week

Bewley to Rankine for money, Pitto to English for points.

Bar Brander suddenly returning they are great trades.

Trading Tom Mitchell out to help get Gawn? Risky but could be worth with the way he’s scoring?
Zeke
July 21, 2020 at 5:05 pm
Wouldn’t be trading out Mitchell just yet, I’d look to downgrade rookies to help you get Gawn or English instead.
Zeke
July 21, 2020 at 5:11 pm
Current Team:
Def: Lloyd, Doch, Weller, Houston, Starcevich, Ash (Rivers, Williams)
Mid: Neale, Lyons, Parker, Mitchell, Vandermeer, Budarick, Serong, Simpson (J.Mac, T.Brown)
Fwd: Gawn, Grundy (Xerri)
Fwd: Tracca, Walters, Greenwood, Parfitt, Brayshaw, Taylor (King, Sturt)
Bank: 91k
Not sure what to do with trades, maybe starc up to Doedee? Need to sort out getting midfield rookies out ASAP though. Any suggestions?
Floggers
July 21, 2020 at 5:20 pm
Which defender would you bring in?
J Lloyd $753K avg 82 L3 avg 86
B Shepherd $659K avg 74 L3 avg 89
C Mills $656K avg 74 L3 avg 86
J Short $636K avg 74 L3 avg 84
J Ridley $614K avg 72 L3 avg 72
Zeke
July 21, 2020 at 5:31 pm
I’d be bringing in Lloyd as hes a top 2 defender and should be more consistent than the other options.

Please bump this as I’m not sure where else to post, fantasy Freko for the last two rounds are wrong, both attachments are 2019 when opened and in fact the last post is round 8 2020 which hasnt happened yet. Please fix this as the Pdf is very helpful

My trades this week are
Out Brander, D Tucker, Cripps
In McPherson, J Steele, Treloar
To save 70k which would leave 120k in the bench next week should I go for Whitfield instead of Steele
This would make it alot easier to upgrade one of my rooks or The Pitt to a premium
JS
July 22, 2020 at 12:03 pm
100%. Whitfield just as reliable of a scorer + he’s going up more in price
Andy
July 21, 2020 at 7:58 pm
Get Gawn? or take English, and work my way up to Gawn?
That would allow me to plug a few other gaps.
DS
July 22, 2020 at 12:50 pm
I have 41K in the bank and I’m thinking of dropping Parfitt, Pickett and Rivers to bring in Treloar, Rankin and a rook. Put the rook on the bench (either Mid or Fwd) and move Simpkin from my Fwd line to my Mid, with Rankin taking his place.
My ruck is Gawn/Grundy, so I’m happy there. However, Parfitt is fading away and I find Pickett to be inconsistent. I know he is getting games whilst Richmond have injury issues but this gets me to Treloar who is in good touch. Other option is keep Pickett and move on a Tyler Brown and go Greenwood. However, Treloar will only increase in price the longer I wait.
Thoughts?

Thoughts on getting in Rankine for Rozee for a cash grab. Rankine will probably outscore him anyway !!
Doug
July 23, 2020 at 9:07 am
I’m pulling the trigger on Wingard to Rankine as I’m thinking the same.. Wingard hasn’t topped 65 in his last 3 which is the lower of Rankine’s first 2 games..
That allows me to bring in Will Day over Ben McKay with some spare cash left over for next week.
Only in 2020..

Thoughts? I’m pretty confident with these trades as well as my team. Ranked around 25k. Lol.
Trades:

RUC Gawn [C], Grundy (Cameron)
FWD Petracca, Smith, Bewley, C.Taylor, King, Rankine (Sturt, Davis)
UTL (Budarick)
$7k bank in left
Yes guys, I know, my bench cover is pretty shit now. You don’t have to remind me. And yes, my forward line is a laughing stock knowing Bewley is my F3.
Harry
July 23, 2020 at 12:13 pm
Can someone give me some tips on my team:
Def) Doc, Maynard, starcevich, rivers, Lukosius, casboult
Mid) Neale, Whitfield, Adams, Simpkin, simpson, mchenry, budarick, stephens
Ruck) Goldsteinn, English
Fwd) Petracca, Ebert, Smith, Parfitt, vandermeer, Butler
Im in a pretty deep hole at the moment. I plan to trade
Butler to Swallow
Ebert to greenwood
Rivers to W.Day. After these trades I have 278K.
I then plan to get rid of budarick, starcevich and brander who is on my bench: for
Rankine, Shephard/Short and a cheap rookie for my bench next week.
Can someone please help me??
