Sunday night's "Lockout Lift LIVE" is going to be fun… uncensored and raw reactions from the weekend!
Poor @RoyDT with his Xerri… who else is feeling the pain?

Don’t miss the live show every Sunday night exclusive to Patreon members.
Round:2063. Rank:9773. Not bad, good even. But it’s the deifference between driving away in a Cruiser, and catching the bus. Would have been 2175 and ~400th or so if not for a late Witts to Xerri downgrade. Probably too far back for the car now, but still alive for T100.
Could be worse. I feel for you blokes out there who had injuries to 2-3 big names.
Final team ended up being
D: Dawson, Young, Daicos, Day, Constable, Ginbey (Cowan, Wilmot)
M: Steele, Green, Piglet, Sheed, Worpel, Callaghan, Ashcroft, Mackenzie (Hollands, Chesser)
R: Marshall, Xerri (McAndrew)
F: Dunkley, Cogs, Tarrantino, Flanders, Bruhn, Cheezel (Green, Long)
U: Kytel
Bank: 100k
Def roughies played well, Mids played decent, Forward roughies played average. Entirely cucked by late ruck choice.
Trades this week will basically just be fixing ruck. Would like to keep Bytel, but might need to cash him in to get up to a quality ruck. Might just eat the damage for this week, keep Bytel/Hollands/Cowan, and move Xerri to a budget ruck. Should have my pick of all the battlers 😂
Votes: +3,2,1 for Young, Daics and Day in whichever order. all got their job done nicely. -3,2,1 Piglet, Flanders, Bruhn. All were looking great, then just dropped off and didn’t get the job done in the end. Mitchell has role issues, and I’ll be jumping off when its convenient.
Xerri gets the get out of gaol free card. Was spanking it prior to the injury, and looking like a Gigabrain selection. Hurts to make the right call, then get stiffed.
Late update to rank 9227. So thats 350 BX (Before Xerri), 9227 AX (After Roy)
Bruhn/Flanders down to Chandler, Xerri to Witts?
Too far back to win it?? Not even close. Keep in mind that there are ‘players’ simply going for top scores R1, R2 and possibly R3.
Ending R1 inside or close to top 10k, that’s a C score or a trade away from pushing inside top tier. I ended the round 8340. I’m happy with that and looking at trades to bang into next round.
Couple of good trades and luck and you can still crack top 1000 next week. You have to think alot of luck takes place in round 1, consistency through the first 3 rounds will see you back in the picture for a cruiser, alot of those teams ahead of you will be worse than yours, but just git lucky this week.
Yeah, for sure. In fact, I’m banking on some of the value picks that didn’t score big this week, to bounce back nicely next week. Still plenty of time, and thinks are just shaking out in the wash at the moment. First couple of rounds are just the lucky bounce that can help make the difference.
How bout chu’ Matt? How was your week?
I ended up just outside the top 2000 with a score of 2098, but that’s been updated twice already since the last game finished, so who knows what it will be. Think it’s really close points wise at the top as you could imagine.
I nailed alot of my picks, but I messed up and had cowan on field for 35 and then captained Laird. My other mids consist of Merrett, Green and Coniglio at the moment, so if I captained anyone of those but Laird, I’m probably looking top 50 or higher. All week I debated going down from Laird to brayshaw and Steele instead of Merrett, leaving me the opportunity to upgrade coniglio aswell, but I just couldn’t find any mid over 870, even up until mcrae that I liked more than coniglio as a mid/fwd option. I had English/Marshall Ruck combo too.
I’m not sure what to do this week, I may chase a fresh rookie as I think long may get dropped for West Coast.
Only other thing is maybe McGrath for daicos or young, maybe Laird down to brayshaw or another premo as he’s probably not going to make breakeven for 3-4 weeks. They all seem like bad moves to me though, so may just be a double rookie get week, though I had chandler, Pedlar and all the other best ones already. If I had chandler on field over Pedlar I’m probably winning the comp right now lol, but I don’t think anyone would have chosen chandler over Pedlar before this week.
My bad, this was a reply to The JungleMuffin
I think it’s too early and royactionary to be cashing in your PODS/Value picks based on one round. Got to back yourself in a bit longer than 1 week.
Definitely think chasing rookies you missed, and replacing the ones who get dropped this week or make minimal bank with a high BE/low future profit prospects is the way to go.
Haven’t seen Chandler’s scores, but if he’s pumped out a bigun as you’ve suggested, I definitely will consider jumping on him and riding the quick rise.
Yeah I feel chandler is set to play atleast the next 2 weeks 100% now that Kozzie is missing 2 games. Just when Kozzie and Bailey Fritsch are both in the side it will be hard to keep him in unless Kozzie stays a 50% midfielder, but I feel alot that don’t have him, will be jumping on him.
I’ll probably just wait for teams to come out and hope for no injuries. Laird is probably a bit more of a pod now than he was a week ago with all the reshuffling people have done, so I should stick with it.
D: Doc, Daicos, Ridley, Day, Ginbey, Cowan (Chesser, Wilmot)
M: Steele, Macrae, Dunkley, Green, Worpel. Ashcroft, Mackenzie, Hollands (Davey, Phillipou)
R: Marshall, Cameron (Heath)
F: Taranto, Rozee, Gulden, JHF, Long, Sheezel (Chandler, Pedlar)
U: Greene
Score: 2038, Rank 13537
My biggest fix needs to be Long, 1% owned midpricer pod who hasn’t worked at all, can’t have him bleeding cash and scoring sub-rookie scores like that. Constable/Bytel are the likely candidates, though I have an eye on Comben if he continues rucking (which doesn’t seem likely with Goldy in the wings)
Cameron to English is my other likely trade. Watched the Cox split with my own eyes and it caps him majorly. Watched English too and he was just so solid with 93% CBAs so I think the play is get him in asap and hold as a keeper.
As much as I’d love to have Setterfield (And to a lesser extent, Callaghan), I don’t think I’ve got the cash to get there and with his first price rise he’ll need 95ish from here to be a worthy pick. Think he’ll do well but I’ll need to be contrarian here to get to English.
Can’t think of any rookies I’m dying to get in (Ginbey, Mackenzie and Ashcroft are the big 3 due to CBA roles, Sheezel’s role obviously strong as well. Chandler won’t score like this every week), so happy to cruise on that unless team sheets absolutely wreck me.
Other thoughts:
-Picked Ridley as I saw the comp rush to get McGrath in and thought he could give a similar input at $50k less. A little concerned about ceiling though as he doesn’t tackle a lot.
-I think Dunkley’s score was an anomaly in a pretty weird fantasy game overall (no one scored over 95, which hasn’t happened in a game for 17 years according to JP.) so I’m not concerned. But please, feel free to trade him out =)
-A bigger mystery is Marshall considering he had 100% CBAs which we’ve been waiting years for. Is Darcy just a great nullifier?
-I feel like both Cowan and Hollands played better than their scores suggest.
Marshall definitely had a quiet week this week with facing the dual Freo rucks. Darcy is a monster at CBA also, so took most of the hitouts that Marshall otherwise would have had for himself.

Have to trade out Stewart after that annoying start to the season. Any thoughts?
How much cash have you got to play with for Stewart?
Might have to trade out one your other rooks who made minimal bank to get up to a keeper, otherwise, might be worth dropping down a touch, bringing in someone on the fringe of being a T6 Def keeper, and bringing in a rookie you missed out on.

Bench issues: Long / F.Green – both can go, but who to bring in – Uwland/Comben?
So do I trade Jelly, or put Pedlar/Chandler on field?
Or McGrath to Sicdog?

Perfect team with a bailey smith captain and xerri – Fuck, thinking bailey smith to tim english and xerri to phillips or another low pricer to save cash for next week, happy with entire team except xerri.
2089 at rank 5645, overall happy with what my final team looks
+3 is tom green, witts and rookie choices apart from missing chandler
-3 jelly captain but he was tracking for a 110 if it wasn’t for the KO, fielding cowan over uwland and last minute choice of dawson over sicily although daws should avg more over the year.
Trades so far are
greene (hawks) to chandler
jelly to de goey
1981: with xerri, Dunkley and captain Laird. So thinking if I can do Sheed /xerri to Witts or english/ Phillips or Chandler is the play. Feel JS is the killer, any thoughts on rookie JS and scoring consistency from Rd 1?
Don’t despair if you picked Xerri, like me.
It makes life difficult, but the margins are not that great at the moment between the 5,000th and 20,000th, and anything can happen now with the concussion protocols.
The best scoring players someone had this week might fail concussion tests next week, score very little, and then will also be banned from playing the following week.
It’s a lottery to avoid the damage. Anyone can win this.

2158. 719th overall. I got lucky and dodged all the carnage (including not starting with Laird!). Dunkley and Marshall were disappointing but at least everyone has them. Cowan and Hollands on field hurt my score a little but both played really well.
Hello, anyone else unable to make changes to their team. Is lockout lifted?
Something wrong with app… Unable to make changes also ????
Lock out hasn’t been lifted yet.
and the question is why.
they seem to bungle everything
Lock out will be lifted once they figure out why Laird’s 114 is not doubling as Captain!
Good Luck in 2024.
The website is incredibly slow too. It used to show the traders tweets as well, plus the team changes/subs but not anymore. I’m assuming this site is on the way out in favour of the paid Patreon.
You got that right. Trying to force us off DT talk for Patreon. It’s been 3-4 days now that dt talk has been taking a few minutes to load, they have clearly turned something off or stopped paying the bills haha

Fix rookies – Long, Laurie, Greene might not earn much cash. Maybe try to get Pedlar/Uwland/Davey who have lower b/e and will make more cash for you – if they are selected.
The content here is good, but it’s not good enough for people to pay and make a patreon account for it. I get what the boys are doing trying to monetise all of this, but they are way more likely to lose the community all together if they are going to turn a blind eye to all the issues on this website. People aren’t going to pay for a game that is free. They may get 20, heck, maybe even 50 people sign up for it, but that would just be a bad idea for those choosing to do that. May aswell just start a sub reddit for dt talk where we can all talk and pass comments, because this site, or patreon, is clearly heading in the wrong direction

Well that’s just absurd. Obviously everyone is entitled to an opinion, but the content shouldn’t be at an expense, the level of content has never been worthy of someone having to pay for it. Especially if it means they are turning a blind eye to the current site and community in an attempt to get people to pay for it. Just my opinion, but the community here is what has always had more of the discussions that help us with our teams than the actual content. Anyone that is paying for that content is just not too bright and a bit of a sheep. 90% of what we need from dt talk comes before the season starts. Once it’s started, it’s very much common sense, you can easily run your team by yourself from then. If 400 people is true, that is mind blowingly dumb. What exactly is the content that helps us so much with our teams? I’m not sure I’ve got anything new for my teams from the content, it’s always been in my team 1.1 or 1.2 comment section, the videos are more or less just their opinion, which has proven to not exactly be worth of paying for. My opinion again.
Last nights POD cast was like watching 3 fella’s talk footy without political correctness being an issues and it was pharking entertaining well worth the $2.50 a week!
Along with chances to win $500 or more!
Good Luck in 2023
Well I mean anyone could do what the traders do really. Like its just that they put effort into writing up pieces and doing research that makes various selections seem viable.
This was my team from round 1
DEF – Doc (vc) , sicily , mcgrath , constable , ginbey , chesser (bench – cincotta , wilmot)
MID – Laird (C) , Brayshaw ,macrae , rozee , gulden , Ashcroft , Mackenzie , hollands (bench – mcvee , Johnston)
RUCK – English , marshall
FWD – Dunkley , Coniglio , toranto , sheezel , phillipou , greene (bench – laurie chandler)
Utility – long
Any thoughts on what I should do
was thinking putting mcgrath into midfeild and trading him to tom green
Fix your bench. Yes – Green > McGrath, but you need cash for the rest of the season. Cincotta, McVee, Johnston, Laurie, Long are earning you little to no cash. You’ll need to grab Uwland/Davey/Pedlar, maybe even Comben

Jelly a hold? Will miss the easy matchup against West Coast obviously but should be back the week after. Is it worth trading Hollands early if it means I can get a superior rookie in Menzie in? My other trade is likely Greene to Chandler.
Hey boys, got a few options getting jelly and long out.
Horn Bag/Setterfield and worpel
Or
Chad Warner and Bytel/ Phillips
Cheers
Do we think Brennan Cox’ stats were good enough to consider bringing in @ D4. 30 disposals coming from 20 marks. Only one kick-in. Seems like a lot of intercept marks judging by his heat map.
No chance. Was entirely because Freo chipped the ball around, because St Kilda has Ross Lyon as a coach, and had the entire team sitting in St Kilda’s defensive half.
Thanks for validating my thoughts.
Moving on Kelly and Sheed.
Would you go to Brayshaw and JHF – captaincy option / Uber premo and a breakout with fwd dpp or to Tom Green and Daicos – breakout and allows me to re-shuffle to field a second forward rook over Chesser / Cowan
100% Green and Daicos, consider Hayden Young too… Green in my eyes will become a premo.
2110 ranked top 3000.
Do I trade Kelly or hold and fix up rooks.
Thinking Kelly to settleford
Trade Kelly then grab the lowest BE rookie, then that way you get a little of both worlds.

Sorry everyone – Kelly was my fault. I had a C on him, and seeing he was on 90 at 3 QTR time, thought I’d tune into watch the last QTR live…big fat mozz by me
My captain was chitter than your Captain :)) Good job on the win, See you in the finals!

Kelly C here too, got a few rooks on field wrong, difference of 15k odd places to what could have been from the same team.
The point being luck plays a huge role in this game and someone’s round 1 rank doesn’t mean a great deal.
Also CW’s advice is normally pretty on point.
Thanks Stu :))
Good Luck in 2023
I’ll be dropping J Kelly for Settlefield. Then Dropping J Hunt and bringing in N Blakey as I had a heap of cash in bank. Left with 61K
Not much difference in terms of total points between 30000 and 3000 at this stage, and Greg’s advice isn’t bad either. Cash generation important for the long term. And Settleford may even stink it up next week.

Thinking about going Laird to Tom Green and Chesser to Bytel. That gives me 133k to hopefully get Chandler next week possibly or go McGrath to Daicos if the rest goes to plan. Not too sure around Bytel’s job security but had around 14 cbas and I think and should hopefully be 70+ for the rest of the year. Any other thoughts greatly appreciated.
Waiting a week to grab Chandler will miss a ton of the cash generation. I don’t see him busting out a 100 too often, but I would go Chesser straight to Chandler and skip Bytel

Generally lost on what to do apart from Long to chandler, kind of want green but can’t fit him in the midfield without sacrificing someone good.
I have the exact same issue as you.. I want Green but would have to trade one of Macrae, Bont, or LDU for him which seems silly. I also can’t get enough cash to upgrade sheed to him, have you thought of that? We might have to fade Green for at least another round..

Happy with the score, especially considering the Stewart injury, but chasing too much mid-price madness has left me with only 8k in the bank. Regretting the 50/50 call with Laurie/Chandler last week. With little flexibility and a massive hole to fill I am considering Stewart to Chandler via some DPP magic for a massive cash grab, then Flanders to Naicos via some more DPP magic + 250k or Stewart to Naicos with Duursma to Chandler via DPP + 230k. Spewing I went for Duursma at the last minute to get myself into the bind and like Flanders match up this week so I’m leaning at keeping Flanders. Any thoughts or other options to consider appreciated :)

Got screwed over by Laird’s 57 as my captain (had brayshaw as my captain earlier but did a last-minute change, should’ve just taken Doc’s 110), Dunk’s not showing up, fielding Chesser over Uwland and not putting emergency on Chandler
I have already made the trade of Cowan > Worpel (had heaps of cash left as I made the last-minute decision of Kelly to Green, a literal life saver) and now just looking at possibly trading Laird (Royactionary I know) to one of the following – Oliver, LDU, Sic dog or another premo or possibly even a sneaky POD…
Another option is Mcgrath to Cox to free up my cash for next round trades… however that being said with the way St Kilda played on the weekend, McGrath could rack up a big score.
The only other option is changing N.Long or F.Greene to a new rookie.

Dodged all bullets fortunately. Keen to get Chandler and T Green in but I have no idea who do drop as I’m happy with all my picks..
Only options I can think of is downgrading one of Macrae, Bont, LDU to Green and then upgrading Long to Chandler. Does that sound stupid? Otherwise I think I have to miss out on Green.
Bont to Green looks like your best option here to me and then going long to chandler.
Chandler should get more games after that effort even with troops returning
