Just took over this team from a mate whats the go for trades, His bench isnt great So i was thinking of Chandler? Any Thoughts
Brodie to Setterfeild or Worpel or HOLD.
Honestly I’d be pretty happy with that bench. Definitely get Chandler in for either Greene or Johnson.

Not sure if this has posted twice now but couldnt see it before. Need help big time.
Cheers Legends
Wow good team to pick from you mate, but would recommend getting Ben Cunnington looking like he’s going to have a big one this week against freo.
I sold Cunners from my DT team. You have me confused now
Cunnington was quiet last week against Weagles
Copped a Xerri injury trying to pick this year’s English, to get the cash needed do I go Worpel/ Callaghan to a rookie or Smith down to Tom Green
Or McGrath to day
with both Jelly and Shitfield missing this week, Callaghan may get more time on ball
I’d be doing all I could to get Green
Smith to Green any day of the week. Elite.

Best round 1 ever in fantasy. Thinking JKelly -> Cogs and then not sure. Maybe Mcgrath to Day + 150k for next week, Marshall to Darcy(freo), or a simple Long to Chandler. Shuffle Uwland to D6, Chesser to bench, Cowan to util. Also switch Pedlar and Phillipou. Thoughts?
Jelly to Cogs and Long to Chandler (-27 BE!). Uwland at D6 for sure.
Score – 2031
Def: Doch, Sicily, McGrath, Constable, Ginbey, Cowan (Wilmot, Chesser)
Mid: Laird, Oliver, Jelly, Warner, Callaghan, Ashcroft, Mackenzie, Davey jr (Mcvee, Uwland)
Ruck: Witts, Marshall (Heath)
Fwd: Dunk, TT, Rozee, Gulden, Sheezel, Poo (Pedlar, Long)
Utility: Greene
Thinking of :
Jelly—>Green
Cowan—-> Chandler
Not sure what else to do other than swap Uwland to D6 and up Cowan to Chandler
IMO Green is a must have and Chandler has a -27 BE so you can’t go wrong there. Your suggested trades are great, just make sure you have a plan to get Davey Jnr off your field in the next couple of weeks.
Thinking of also trading Davey to Menzie and swapping Cowan to Uwland
Who are you trading out first?
Laird -> merrett/degoey/someone else here, not seeing much that interests me here tbh
Sheed-> worpel/bruhn
Cumming -> day/richards
I need to downgrade one of these guys probably to fix up another spot on my team, need about 60k
Cumming to Day
Brodie to Setterfeild or Worpel or HOLD
Brodie to Worpel
Who would you downgrade Stewart to, H. Young or N. Daicos?
I’m stumped because I think Daicos has higher scoring potential but may get tagged
I question how long Freo will persist with this chipping around at the backline. For that reason I’m going to Daicos.
LDU, Sic dog or Daicos… who gets a bigger score this week?
Score: 1949
Rank: 35913
Best R1 players: Sheezel, Taranto (C), Nank and Ziebell
On the chopping block: Saad (62), Baker (55) “the Yeo trade”, Marshall (72)
R2 Trades: Stewart + Should I hold on to Jelly for 1 week and trade Greene to Chandler (to chase $$) or trade Jelly (to chase points)?

Util: Pedlar
Went Pedlar -> Chandler then moved Chandler to F6, then Cowan -> Uwland, left me with 49k. Decent trades just to fix up my rookies or is there somewhere else I should be worried about?
Pedlar prob better than Long/Greene. I would move one of those to Chandler

FWD: Dunks, Cogs, Taranto, Rozee, Gulden, Sheezel (Greene, Davey)
UTI: Pedlar
Thinking of:
Jelly –> JHF
Hollands –> Callaghan
move cogs into M2, Phillipou to the bench, play JHF in forward line, Callaghan M6. tell me what you think, or any other ideas.
Also 175k in the bank
in the same scenario with jelly, if i where you there’s a few too many mid pricers so 2 more is quite risk. try and find a like for like then fix rookies eg chandler for long
RDT leagues: 296089 & 955586 need a few more teams to fill if you are keen. Starts this round, cheers.
im going jelly to tom green (and pocketing 115k), who do i look at upgrading??

FWD: Dunks, Taranto, Rozee, Gulden, Sheez, Poo (Greene, Long)
UTI: Chandler
Not overly happy with hollands/poo, but theres no one to go to (unless there is and ive missed something)
Mcgrath -> Daicos?? seems kinda pointels but what to i know, tempted to also go down to day and pocket more cash for next week, i honestly have no idea
Maybe Poo to Menzies if named?
When do we get to see a ‘Scale of hardness’ ?
Is it now behind the paywall?
Ryan Byrnes of Tanner Bruhn for a mid priced player?
JHF or Ziebell?
Tossing up between them, can’t decide
I would go Ziebell at this stage – his role is clear playing as a +6 def and taking norf’s kick ins.
JHF is a good player and getting plenty of CBAs.. I would wait and see if this is his role even when Boak returns
Trade Chesser or Cowan?
Looking at trading Jelly and a rookie. Either both sideways, or 1 up, 1down.
Option 1: Ziebell + Day
Option 2: Green + playing R3 or Menzie (if named)
Rookie to go out is either Long or Greene or R3 red dot
Any thoughts?

UTL: Chandler
Have $21k in the bank and have absolutely no idea what 2 trades to do as I dodged all of the carnage last week and already had Chandler.
Any thoughts or ideas please ???
Can u loophole your VC score if your C has already played?
C’mon man. No
1. Grundy to Witts or
2. F.Greene to Chandler.
If I take option 1 and there’s no carnage and Grundy still underperforms I’ll move him on the following week.
Need cash desperately.. who to sell out of Laird and Steele down to Greene?
In need of serious help – 12K in the bank

RUCK: English, Marshall (Heath)

UTIL: Greene
I’m stuck because I want to hold Kelly but if I do then I don’t have any other moves to make (that I can think of) due to cash. I already have the ‘must have’ rookies and solid mid-pricers (barring Setterfield). I don’t want to go out and make trades just for the sake of it, what do I do?
Move him if you have nothing else to do, chase the points
Mitchell to LDU or hold? Already have Green, luxury trade
LDU
