We all managed to get into the 2100 club this week which appeared to be around PAR for round eight. Although Jordan De Goey scored his first ton of the year, Roy is still keen to take him back to returns at the local K-Mart. Plenty of bargain players are on the radar after some decent performances on the weekend. It’s time to build our teams towards the byes! Let’s go!

Hi guys about 4 weeks ago I brought in Worpel not thinking he was Tagging. The last 2 weeks he has had good scores but now O Meara will be back Im a bit concerned about how he scores. Last week I brought in A Hall and put a C on him which was probably the best move I’ve done in a long time. This week I’m bringing in J Kelly for Tex Yuck then next week I’m thinking of bringing in Harms.

Evening Gents. When will Gawns B/E fall a bit. I have Flynn and Campbell who have been getting me through my league pretty well, but looking to merry him up with Grundy soon.

can go hall or harmes. Harmes obviously gives me a lot more cash and hall is r12 bye
or i can go down to a rook and have 300-400k next week
Thoughts?

It’s reaching that time of the year where the best rookies dry up, so grab them while you can.
I got Byrnes last week, and will be bringing in RCD this week. They should get some time in the team, particularly with the injuries Richmond has.

RCD is a lock now. I like Byrnes, but if you were choosing, it would have to be RCD.

Hey warnie, first time fantasy player this year. Ive heard you talk about the bye rounds a bit, can you explain why you guys call the first round of byes the ‘awkward’ round and advise grabbing players who have the round 12 bye. cheers

Not grabbing players*

Hi mate.
The three bye rounds – 12/13/14 – are usually approached with the strategy of trading out a player who has an upcoming bye for someone coming off the bye. Perfect scenario is trading, let’s say maxed out rookie Anthony Scott in round 13 (WB bye is Rd 13) for someone coming off the round 12 bye (eg. could be upgraded to Lachie Whitfield who may price himself nicely following his rd 12 bye).
Players with the round 12 bye are tricky as if you have them, you will most likely have them throughout the byes… meaning you’d be holding them on their week off.
Remember we have 3 trades ahead of each of the bye rounds.
Perfect strategy is to be continuing to downgrade and upgrade through the byes and making your team better… but doing this with trading out players who have a bye coming up with players coming off a bye. Targetting players you don’t have for upgrades is super important. Tom Mitchell could be a premium to aim for after his R12 bye.
The idea (last week) of holding Gulden was all about hoping he’d pump through decent enough scores to his R14 bye… then offload him. That 44 this week hurts a bit. Same can go for Warner – who Roy is defintiely hot on holding for now.
Hope that helps! Might chat through some of this again next week on the podcast and I might write a bit of an article.
Cheers,
Warnie

Hi Warnie, what are your thoughts on a double sideways as a once off? I was thinking of going Serong –> Hall and Stepho –> Harmes. Serong can’t get it done with his poor TOG and it seems like a proactive week to get Harmes. Already have RCD and it doesn’t feel right paying a premium for Byrnes/Poulter. Next week I would go back to my 1 up 1 down and planning for byes but seems like a once off opportunity to grab both guys this week with low BE’s and scoring potential. Cheers mate
