Really awesome team! Wish I was in a similar situation to you but I have a few stinkers still…
I’m considering holding Sharp and Bramble for the final cash gen this week. I think they still have one more rounds worth of good scores…
Was considering offloading Bramble but instead will offload HInd as they score pretty similar anyways.
Going to bring in Howe for HInd and Honey for one of my non playing rooks this week and hopefully upgrade Sharp/ Bramble next week to a premo.
Cheers :D

411k in the bank and
I won my qualifying finals.
I don’t know if I should upgrade
a rookie this week or double
downgrade for next week?
Stimpy
August 1, 2021 at 11:31 pm
If you have won your 1st final..def double downgrade ready for next week
The Cricket
August 2, 2021 at 12:03 am
For finals you really must have Emergency cover on every line, so focus on that imo. Then you can do whammo upgrades for your next final. Good luck

Who goes first out of Phillips, Harmes, Cumming, Ridley and Haynes? I can only get a FWD for Phillips but any MID or DEF for the others
Joe
August 1, 2021 at 11:20 pm
Houston to Crisp
Sharp to Fiorini/Adams
Bramble to Marshall/Sidebottom
What is the best trade out of these? Thanks
Brian Smith
August 1, 2021 at 11:49 pm
I think the biggest difference in potential points for the rest of the season is Bramble to Marshall. I’m strongly considering that trade myself.

Hi everyone…Need some help..Any suggestions would be great just looking to win and progress in my league
DEF Laird, Whit, Lloyd, Rich, Ridley, Bianco (Mansell,Walker)
MIDS Mitchell, Walsh, Merrett, Macrae, Taranto, Oliver,Bramble (West,Connolly)
RUCKS Gawn, Grundy( Meek)
FWDS Hall, Zorko, Danger,DeGoey, Sidebottom, Parker (Jeka,Worrell)
Utl Gould
CASH $108
Thinking Ridley and Bramble to trade
BzG
August 2, 2021 at 11:52 am
I’m moving on Taranto after successive games deep forward. Then, moving Parker to MID and trading in English to the FWD spot (also providing decent cover should Grundy or Gawn get injured).
In your set-up, you could also sell Ridley, move Hall DEF and bring in J Kelly FWD
Brian Smith
August 1, 2021 at 11:52 pm
Agreed – those two look like your weakest on field, but if you’ve only got $108, it’s prob not enough to upgrade both. With Ridley v WBD next, maybe he has to go first – bring Marshall in and Hall to Def?
Matt

Hey guys – desperately need to win my final this week and any help would be much appreciated!
DEF: Laird, Mills, Stewart, Daniel, Ridley, Bowes (Connolly, Walker)
MID: Steele, Wines, Lyons, Merrett, Macrae, Taranto, Houston, Bianco (West, O’Connor)
RUCK: Grundy, Gawn (Meek)
FWD: Hall, Kelly, De Goey, Dangerfield, Smith, Parker (Amartey, Briggs)
BANK: 0K
BzG
August 2, 2021 at 11:58 am
Trading out Taranto (changed role) and Houston would provide good cash to upgrade your MID line. You could consider a rook E as well for the FWDs, eg. Nash or Ruscoe
The Kid
August 2, 2021 at 10:12 am
Oliver/Bazlenka/Fiorini/O’Meara?
Bazlenka or o meara saves more cash
Bill
August 2, 2021 at 10:28 am
Time for Taranto to go?
Also, Richmond without Dusty are rudderless. They will be lucky to beat North.
BzG
August 2, 2021 at 12:09 pm
Imo, playing deep forward, YES
Cody O'Brien
August 2, 2021 at 10:57 am

Hey team. Is there a decent target under $400k to play anywhere onfield? Yes, it’s desperate times!
BzG
August 2, 2021 at 12:07 pm
FWDs: Nash & Ruscoe
MIDs: Maybe Z Guthrie (D/M) but only 2 games of note

Choosing to hold guys like Taranto, Neale, Ridley so I can move on Bianco and Bramble to a rookie and Marshall. Makes team better overall and with Hopper out Taranto should get more midfield clock.
Jake
August 2, 2021 at 1:17 pm
O’Meara, Cerra, B. Smith or Gaff and why?
David C
August 2, 2021 at 1:34 pm
Cerra getting more mid time with Fyfe gone for the season would be my pick of those. Wouldn’t touch any WC players at the moment. Dunkley might get more mid time over the next few weeks which might effect Smith.
Jackkyy
August 2, 2021 at 11:35 pm
Need some assistance in choosing trades this week.
Option 1 – Taranto + Sharp to Cerra and Side – 34k
Option 2 – Weightman + Sharp to Peatling (on bench) and C Guthrie – 8k left
Both leave just bramble on field, thanks.
Robbo.

Creepy Brucey from ClownTown

Ben
August 7, 2021 at 12:52 am
Help!
Kelly’s late out burnt me. Set my team, went to work and came back to that mess.
Who’s my best option as emergency cover. I have
Honey, F. Macrae, or Ginnivan?
