Who goes first? Cripps, Daicos or Rozee?
Daicos4Brownlow
July 10, 2022 at 8:15 pm
2217 with Neale as Captain. I haven’t had a decent Captain in weeks. Also own Whitfield
Nick Kyrgios
July 10, 2022 at 8:16 pm
Cripps, there’s plenty of mids that give your team an extra 40-50 plus points, can’t say the same for the forwards and backs this season.
James
July 10, 2022 at 8:24 pm
Assuming an Oliver injury, will trade him down and trade cripps up. Hopefully could get a Mills, Steele, Guthrie and Cripps up to Big Z.
henry
July 10, 2022 at 9:17 pm
who goes first; hately, serong, whitfield, gresham, or houston. Also is Dylan Moore an option?
Bobby Bouchet
July 11, 2022 at 10:36 am
Hately, Gresham, Serong, Houston, Whit – in that order IMO.
Whit could be worth a one week hold as frustrating as his score was yesterday.
Daniel
July 10, 2022 at 9:40 pm
Even if Oliver is one week we trade so we don’t cop the points hit right?
Giorgio
July 10, 2022 at 11:20 pm
only trade if ur going for ranking, if ur trying to win league finals you would absolutely hold Olive oil
Bill
July 11, 2022 at 1:39 am
Where are the new trades? 1.37am and still the scores haven’t been finalised.
This is amatuer hour.
pendles4brownlow

I think they are too busy watching the tennis, Bill. I have been waiting. How are we supposed to rage trade?
Bill
July 11, 2022 at 2:29 am
I think my rage days are over. All of my team let me down constantly.
You could have taken Djokovic 3 sets to 1, like me.
If Kyrgios wasn’t such an idiot spud he would have won 3-0.
Samus
July 11, 2022 at 2:58 am
Joker let him have the first so he didn’t get humiliated. Kyrio still gets 2 mill just for being there though. Not a bad pay day.
Bill
July 11, 2022 at 3:45 am
Kyrgios will probably finish up broke like Philippoussis and go home to live with his mama.
Albo
July 11, 2022 at 8:35 am
We’ll all have to wait now while those who stayed up to watch the tennis are now sleeping in.

Greg Clark scored 0 as the sub this weekend, 1 kick and 1 free against. He was 456K in R17.
Bill
July 11, 2022 at 12:39 pm
Happy that I traded him on the weekend. Turned out to be a good move.
Shan Shan
July 11, 2022 at 6:41 am
R1 I was ranked 31,139
R11 I was ranked 702
Currently ranked 1704
Surely I can still get a hat? 6 rounds to go I need some smokey’s N Martin to Bailey Smith to get my final rookie off the field.
Jag67
July 11, 2022 at 7:03 am
Anyone noticed the League Tables in AF still not updated. Still showing last weeks results.
And can’t understand why Carmichael makes 51 on debut, but still no price rise.
What’s going on.
pendles4brownlow
July 11, 2022 at 7:14 am
No, it’s just you.
Actually, it appears that the administrators must have been up late watching tennis. Nothing has reset yet. No price changes yet.
Albo

I watched the tennis and have been up for a couple of hours. They are having a heavy duty sleep in.

Cripps to Steele
or
Houston to Doch
Pilll
July 11, 2022 at 10:42 am
Cripps to Steele for sure, has been in unreal form since returning from shoulder surgery.
Cripps Ceiling is 100 and he seems to be good for a 90 and not much more.
Houston still under that injury cloud with his calf & hand but has the ceiling still I think.
pendles4brownlow
July 11, 2022 at 10:53 am
Finally, we have lift off.
I think Rioli, JAnderson and Rowell have earned themselves another week in my team. I can afford to bring in anyone to replace Whitfield. Who’s the best option?
Touk, Mills, Zerrett, Sinclair, Bazheadbutt or Steele?
Leaning towards Zerrett, as the Bombers have a very cushy next 3, and he seems to have proven he is back in form, so he is value. His price would also mean I could afford to replace any of Rioli, JAnderson or Rowell (whoever performs worst) to anyone next week.
Doug
July 11, 2022 at 11:12 am
Brought in Taranto into the MID last week expecting him to take Heeney’s FWD this week, but feel like upgrading Houston in DEF is a higher priority..
IF Clarry is out for surgery, then he goes to Mills/Steele meaning I can get Houston up to the Doc.
Franca

Lachie Neale for Coniglio or macrae
Angus
July 11, 2022 at 12:03 pm
Don’t trade Neale, just had a down week being tagged; will bounce back next week.
Franca
July 11, 2022 at 12:05 pm
Trade out Neale for macrae or coniglio
Scott
July 11, 2022 at 11:55 am
do you mean who to trade out? If so, Macrae
Russell Pindick
July 11, 2022 at 12:00 pm
Why trade out Macrae or Neale??
Jakob
July 11, 2022 at 11:59 am
Who goes for brayshaw? Crippa or Wines?
Daicos4Brownlow
July 11, 2022 at 12:30 pm
My immediate reaction was – both. Having looked deeper, I would say Crippa. He has not been scoring as well as he was earlier in the season, a higher BE and a lower 3-game average. They both have a similar run home. I don’t think Wines will improve in price, but he won’t lose as much value as Crippa. Every year, Crippa seems to be the same – starts off flying while Carlton actually believes they are going OK, then the wheels fall off after he has tired from carrying the team for the first half of the season (and other teams figure out that if they stop Crippa they will still stop Carlton) and they realise that they have not got a chance.
Angus
July 11, 2022 at 3:44 pm
Cripps; Wines could score well against Melbourne, and Cripps just isn’t the Cripps of round 1 to 8. He has to go.
Daicos4Brownlow
July 11, 2022 at 12:45 pm
Who to Captain?
I’m looking at VC on Laird – he plays the Pies (Go Pies!) who don’t do much to halt Fantasy scoring.
Who to C – Brayshaw or Zerrett??? Brayshaw in form but Sydney don’t give away much. Zerrett going well in recent games and against Suns.
James
July 11, 2022 at 2:24 pm
Yep I was going VC Laird into Merret. Could do a sneaky Jack Steele into Laird and still be confident.
jjbkeeper
July 11, 2022 at 12:47 pm
Laird with 8K left in bank, or Steele and 119K left in the bank for next week?
Max
July 11, 2022 at 7:25 pm
Laird is so hard to go past, but Steele and that cash which could be placed on someone might be the better play depending on your team and where it’s at.
Albert
July 11, 2022 at 1:16 pm
Brad Hill to Taranto; and which one for 2nd trade
Titch to Keays (means I have to play Soligo for one week)
Or
Oliver to Steele, Miller, Laird or any other mid?
I have Oliver, Neale, Macrae, Bradshaw, Guthrie, Zerrett, Petracca and Titch.
Albert
July 11, 2022 at 1:17 pm
Stupid auto-correct. Suppose to be Brayshaw
Tomo
July 11, 2022 at 4:02 pm
Going baker to Taranto, himmelberg to Moore or stephens to Carmichael?
Tomo
July 11, 2022 at 8:32 pm
Didn’t mean to reply Soz. Also I’d say grab Steele while he’s cheap
Tom
July 11, 2022 at 4:04 pm
I’m going to do Baker to Taranto, should I go himmelberg to Moore or stephens to Carmichael on bench
K
July 11, 2022 at 6:59 pm
Does Taranto or Bazlenka avg more for the rest of the year? And stay on the park?!
The Octopus
July 11, 2022 at 7:10 pm
I’d go with the Tarantula. Smitty too unreliable, also that haircut is a shocker, plus that caterpillar crawling on his lip!
Max
July 11, 2022 at 7:21 pm
Gotta go with Taranto right now, Smith hasn’t played for too long to launch right now.
Max
July 11, 2022 at 7:20 pm
DEF: Hewett, Docherty, Dawson, Sicily, Whitfield, Sinclair (D’Ambrosio, Wehr)
MID: Neale, Oliver, Kelly, Macrae, Miller, Cripps, Hately, Brayshaw (Soligo, Owens)
RUC: English, Jackson (Teakle)
FWD: Dunkley, Coniglio, Taranto, Brodie, Coleman, Martin (Windhager, McComb)
UTL: Tsitas
Cash: 369k
Currently looking at Cripps and Wehr to a 190k and Laird. Know that it’s not the right move with who I still have left on field, but don’t know who to get otherwise.
John
July 11, 2022 at 8:15 pm
should I upgrade nick daicos or pat crips
John
July 11, 2022 at 8:18 pm
Didn’t mean to put that in the replies
Brian smith
July 12, 2022 at 3:04 am
Hately to Duncan and spend the rest on cripps?
John
July 11, 2022 at 8:19 pm
Upgrade nick daicos or crippa
Stan Smith
July 11, 2022 at 8:50 pm
Finally with the return of Bailey Smith, I can finish my bulldog forward line, will probably trade out Oliver due to injury.
F: English, Smith, Dunkley, Bontempelli, Liberatore, Treloar (McComb, Bedendo).
Come friday night, 1/3 of my team would have already played, lol.
Themaninthehat
July 11, 2022 at 11:06 pm
I’m torn between luxury trades or ensuring green dots across all lines.
Scenario 1: Hold Oliver – Trade cashed up Wehr to and upgrade Serong to Bradshaw.
Scenario 2: Trade Oliver – Merret and upgrade Houston. to helmet Brayshaw.
My guy says Scebario 2 as not sure how Oliver’s injury will effect his game and not the time of year to putting up w/ sub par scores…looking to crack top 1000 for first. 🤞
brian Smith
July 11, 2022 at 11:53 pm
Bring in Duncan or Taranto?
Mark Fawcett
July 12, 2022 at 12:11 pm
Going Cripps, my M8 to Greenwood as they’re both producing about the same amount and that allows me to go Jackson to Gawn.
Boombers
July 12, 2022 at 7:11 pm
Trade Oliver and Cripps to:
Sinclair & Merrett (Sinclair Defender next week) or
Steele & Keays
Other option may be to bring Carmichael on to bench hoping for a 70 to cover Oliver…then doing a big upgrade on a Cripps or Lipinski.
Stimpy
July 15, 2022 at 2:08 pm
Choose one please guys..Bont..or Duncan?
BrodieA
July 16, 2022 at 10:15 pm
What is anyones thoughts on benching Petracca and using W.Brodie’s score? Wish I benched Serong/Crippa but ran out of thinking time?
Brodie on bench due to Carmichael
AD
July 16, 2022 at 10:28 pm
I’d roll the dice and play Petracca now
BrodieA
July 17, 2022 at 12:52 pm
Yeah think thats the go, has gone big against Port last year. Cheers
