Time to go Will Setterfield
Thanks for the cash and service Will but it’s time to make way for an uber premium.
Hall in Sicily out
Time to jump on sicdog in a few weeks then, since it sounds like he’s dropped some coin. Always going to be one of the top defenders.
Careful of being Royactionary.
2472, went from #2880 to #972 in one round. Just need to keep shifting rooks and I’m golden.
Thinking Pou and Dilmot out waddle and pasta 🤔
Super happy with my score this week:
Score:2428 Rank:19967->9893
Def:
Daicos, Sicily, Ziebell, Sicily, Day, Ginbey
(Cincotta, Young)
Mid:
Laird, Kelly, Coniglio, Green, LDU, Gulden, Worpel,

Ruck:

Fwd:
Taranto, Dunkley, Sheezel, Rozee, Chandler, Pedlar

Utl:
Chesser
364k in the bank
Feel like I’m in a good position to get a premium from a rookie this week but don’t know who.
Any thoughts?
Two Sicilys? You’re magic
Stewart*
start cincotta over ginbey
and trade gibey to weddle for cash gen and to get ryan up next week
Lazy 2481 for my battlers this week pals!
From 23k up inside 12k. Back in the game!
Haha, do me dead, 2481 and still lose one of my leagues 😂
Equal 61st for the round, and get done by a fellow DTTer. Hahaha, classic.
Well done to H Freeman of Heaters Heroes for the win. He was 45th for the round.
Any upside to trading in Aaron Hall or is it too risky w/ his EXTENSIVE injury history?
I’m thinking of moving Sheezel back to FWD because FWDs typically have a lower score ceiling
Fiorini seems like a good selection providing he scores well again. Miller’s recovery is still ”TBC”
Planned Trades: (1) Setterfield & Baker-> 2 of Newman, Hall, J Short, or Macpherson
I’ve somehow made my team worse every week so hopefully this week is an exception lol
Yeah, loads more options down back. Ziebull and Cheezel both still up forward for me, and will remain there most of the season.
Taranto v West Coast on Saturday next week… lol
Collingwood play Sydney on Sunday so Daicos is back-up & M Roberts EZ loop
No go for Hall, he’s going to ping his hammy any week
Who scores more this week Docherty or Sinclair?
sinclair with ease against north
Def: Naic Daws Rioli Stocker Gin Mot (mcvee, cowan)
Mid: Oliver Bont Crae Cogs Worpel Ashcroft Phillipou Cincotta (long, davey)
Ruck: English Marshall
Fwd: Dunks TT Rozee Gulden Sheez Chandler (greene mitchell)
Got 459k to play with and can go stocker>day and ginbey> macpherson since i miss out on stewart by 10k. Decent trades or is there more obvious people to get rid of?
I’m deciding on one of em this week, I might go Macpherson since everyone and their grandma already has Day.
i have too many players to offload
Who to trade in
1. McPherson
2. Simpkin
3. JJ +200k
simpkin
Can’t believe I actually scored well for once! 2416 and shift inside the top 10k for the first time since Round 2.
Trades:
OUT
Setterfield – Your services were commendable. But now, it’s time to go.
Ginbey – Cash generation has come to a halt. Farewell.
IN
Steele – Very light next four games and also pretty affordable. Very low ownership too.
Fiorini – Massive risk but I feel like punting on a mid-pricer since it will give me only three rookies on field (plus Sheezel and Ashcroft, but they’re beasts).
Team:
DEF Dawson, Stewart, Day, Hunt, C.Jones, Mitchell (Cincotta, Bergman)
MID Oliver, Taranto, Steele, Laird, Green, Dunkley, Ashcroft, Fiorini (Uwland, Roberts)
RUC English, Marshall (Ryan)
FWD Rozee, Gulden, Sheezel, Ziebell, Chandler, Pedlar (Phillipou, van Rooyen)
UTL (Wilmot)
Hey guys, dunno what to do this week. Got pretty lucky with a 2390 with this bad team. Would love some direction – I want to trade out rookies but also Setterfield. 180k in the bank.
Def: Daicos, Dawson, Sheezel, Day, Wilmot, Cincotta (Chesser, Uwland)
Mid: Oliver, Brayshaw, Kelly, Green, Setterfield, Ashcroft, Callaghan, Hollands (Phillipou, Long)
Ruck: Marshall, Darcy (Ramsden)
Fwd: Taranto, Dunkley, Rozee, Gulden, Chandler, Pedlar (Davey, van Rooyen)
Utility: Roberts
The bench isn’t good either so could go double downgrade as an option as well this week. Feedback appreciated.
Thoughts on Hewett?
CBA’s up and well underpriced?
Thoughts on Perryman? What type of role does he play?
Thoughts on these trades (have 50k in bank):
Either 1: Setters + cowan/davey/long –> T. Green + Angwin(or any cheap rook to fill a spot over roo) + 20k left over
Or
2: Setters + cowan/davey/long –> fiorini + atkins + 220k
looking for a decent mid price option, preferably in the 500-650k range, any ideas??
Few jumping on Fiorini 559, Miller out 3+weeks
Thoughts on holding or trading PODs Liam Baker & Jordan De Goey who have BE of 110 this week?
I’ve had these players since Rd1, ridden the highs & lows and thinking it’s time to think bye structure. Focusing on Teams like Essendon & GC who I don’t have currently have any players of
Currently thinking to bring in Rachele & Noah Anderson, although unsure about Rachele, has he basically maxed out?
Even bringing in Angwin for a Warnie chest next week to unload a Ginbey & Cowan if doesn’t get a game Be is still 28, Even Fergus Greene with a high ish Be & no goals last week
Also have Baker. thinking of whether to hold him for 1 more week againt WCE (BE 110) or upgrade him to a premo?? his points seem to have taken a hit since Short has come back from inj.
yeah bro I am very worried, shorts destroyed his role & seems like he’ll loose a heap of cash
Im thinking to give one more week with WCE matchup & has gone 110 twice
De Goey I’m thinking has to go, aswell as Ginbey or Greene, see who’s named
yeah de goat has to go. he’s been hot and cold and Crows have been a hard team so far to get fantasy scores against. Rowell is an tempting option!
Yeah well said
Who would you unload out of ginbey or Fergus Greene? To get degoat up to Noah Anderson
Trading Ginbey would mean I’d have to field Mcvee SMitchell or new rookie
thoughts on Atkins JS with Touk out still? i know everyone is talking about Fiorini, but a “downgrade” from Ginbey gives me some handy $$ to move McGrath to Stewart PLUS leaving me a healthy amount to bring in an uber mid upgrade next week..
Thoughts on Trade Option:
Out
Setterfield, Phillipou & Ratugolea
In
Option 1: Petracca/Walsh, Fiorini & Teakle (360-377k left after trades)
Option 2: Walsh, Petracca & Teakle (15k left after trades)
Option 3: Hall, Walsh/Petracca & Teakle (145k left after trades)
Option 4: Hall, Fiorini & Teakle (507k left after trades)
Option 2: Petracca/Walsh, S. Simpson & Teakle (722k left after trades)
Option 5: Fiorini, S. Simpson & Teakle (1.08 mill left after trades)
How are you using 3 trades?
RDT and Supercoach have a feature “trade boost” it allows you to make 3 trades in a single round, They are not extra trades they come off your total trades. In RDT you get 5 not sure about SC as i do not play it.
Something AF could look at in 2024 for those desperate times!
Good Luck in 2023
Won’t happen with AF, it means implementing a trade cap. Still prefer the original dream team format over AF with trade caps, 3 game price changes and eliminator. I don’t have time for a third comp in Supercoach and dislike champion data stats.

Utl: Davey
scored 2226 last week. only have 83k left in the bank. need as much help as possible!
I’d look to unload Phillipou & Ginbey (higher breakeven than 3game avg)
It’d be completely up to you to give Setterfield another week to redeem himself, but he’s definitely one to watch $$$
Dpp Day to Def
Dpp Rozee to Fwd
For the two mids, play around with it.
GC Fiorini, Atkins if your gain?
Rookie Premo Combo
Angwin or a 200k rook with a premo like Walsh, Anderson
How will Greene’s scoring be affected from now on with Lewis showing little signs of injury?
His cash gen is cooked due to that 18. Decent chance he loses cash this week, and even more likely next week.
Trade him.

$37K, thoughts?
setterfield and ginbey to steele and weddle
or
Ginbey and pou to fiorini and atkins
or
setterfield and ginbey to green and atkins
setterfield and ginbey to steele and weddle
only problem is id have to put weddle or wilmot on my field so idk
Thinking of going poo to Perryman rather than Butters and saving $70k…….thoughts?
same output, mostly 80s with a ton here or there, don’t expect tons every week from either of them
Thanks
Thought the same and save cash
Thoughts on these trades (have 50k in bank):
Either 1: Setters + cowan/davey/long –> T. Green + Angwin(or any cheap rook to fill a spot over roo) + 20k left over
Or
2: Setters + cowan/davey/long –> fiorini + atkins + 220k
People are really considering the GCS double whammy huh
Fools gold
Still unsure about those GCS boys, even fantasy duds like Powell and Ballard scored tons. Atkins is cheap enough though to risk, especially for ginbey.
Out: Setterfield + F.Greene
In: Tom Green + Atkins
OR
In: Fiorini + Butters
def green and rat
Considering Sammy Ryan.
An immediate cash return from him the next week or two removes some of the risk, and his JS looks decent with Nank and Lynch being out for a while. Don’t really need him playing on ground with Dunks/Tarrantino/Rozee/Ziebull/Cheezel and Cogs (Chandler filling in for him at the moment while Cogs bolsters my mids), so a slow burn on the bench is fine. The DPP also handy backup for the ruck line in case carnage strikes at an inopportune time.
Bringing Sammy Ryan in for F Green myself
waste of a valuable trade
I’m not sure you’re around the cash gen issues that the entire comp is up against Liz.
He has the 2nd lowest BE in the game, behind Cincotta who I already have, and probably the best JS of any rookie/cash cow besides the ones everyone has.
If you’re one of the guys with a list worth $20m, by all means sideways your completed list, but for the rest of us, we need to make bank to fund future upgrades.
If you’re able to make an argument as to why you believe it’s a wasted trade, I’m all ears.
I have Samson and it’s been great. Nank will be back in 1-2 weeks so be wary. But this is why I’m considering Atkins, the cash gen. But the JS worries me too much unfortunately
Atkins, Kemp or Weddle worth a gamble?
Weddle is less risky than the other two.
What is the best option here?
Oliver, Weddle
Steele, Atkins
Steele, Weddle
Green, Atkins
Green, Weddle
Steele, Atkins for me
Is atkins an legitimate option? Feel like he is as risky as Fiorini just cheaper.
Way more risky than Fiorini. Fiorini should be fine until Touk comes back. RAT is playing in a position where even Constable couldn’t keep his job when playing well.
constable was kinda playing shit though wasn’t he.
Obviously from the Coaches view, but 87 & 81 not exactly shite
Phillipou and Greene to Fiorini and under 253k rook
Greene/Phillipou and Rivers to Fiorini and Cincotta
Greene/Phillipou and Rivers to Fiorini and Aktins
Who goes first out of Greene and Phillipou ?
Any word on Ziebell and his injury? Thinking about finally bring him onboard.
Hopefully we should know by tomorrow night. Kangas have training sesh tomorrow so they’ll see how he pulls up (LDU also in same boat).
If both don’t get named another carnage round for me! ffs.
Ziebell, Laird again, Darcy, Tom Stewart might get tagged, can forsee another carnage round to balance the books considering last week’s mammoth scores.
Finished the game out strongly after a strap up and jab, so don’t imagine it was a significant injury. He might be a bit sore though.
Is Bailey Williams (WB) a good POD option mid- upgrade from a Rook. Feel like everyone is jumping on Fiorini – gone + 90 the last two weeks!
Thoughts?
Liberatore returning, Bailey Smith only going to get better, I’ll rather jump on Spaghetti than Williams
M Rowell or Anderson? Feel like these players are 100-110ppg players but Rowell is about 160k cheaper.
Setters to Walsh or Dawson?…Dawson upcoming run seems easier than Walsh
Need help guys
Setters and Hollands for Boak and Fiorini (B/E low 40)
Or
Pou and Greene for fiorni and blake

Had 5 scores over 150 this week and have been able to climb 12000 ranks over the past 2 weeks. Thinking of getting Docherty for Chandler and Pedlar leaving only Ashcroft, Sheezel, and Cincotta as the rookies on my field. Any thoughts?
