Miller or Kelly?
I’m assuming Josh Kelly, and him
too right im clicking on mills
Laird or Dunkley for the run home?
Dunkley this week, get Laird next week.
Keays to Tex?
Good move on the week that Tex plays west coast. Otherwise, not sure about Tex for a week in week out player.
Ditch Keays though
God that’s cruel having Mills as the poster-boy, haha
Bring in Bont or parish?
Bont. I know he’s coming off a popor score, but he was on 41 in the 1st quarter before being clamped harrrrd
Poor*
Def: dawson, daicos, stewart, docherty, day, sinclair (chesser, o’donnell)
Mid: Miller, Brayshaw, Serong, Steele, Merrett, Crouch, Neale, Mills ( Fletcher, Roberts)
Ruck: english, marshall (Visentini)
Fwd: Butters, Taranto, Guldon, Rozee, Flanders, Coniglio (Maric, Williams)
Thinking of downgrading fletcher to nankervis then Mills up to Laird. Thoughts?
I like this. Also consider Petracca – keeps getting it done, and playing North Melbourne this week.
bring in bont, dunks or steele?
If you can get to all three, I’d go Bont this week to vc him, Dunks, then Steele because of the stacked saints midfield.
1.Crouch > Merrett and Mills > Miller
2.Neale > Cogs and Mills > Miller
3.Neale > Merrett and Mills > anyone under $765 (suggestions appreciated)
Was always planning to move Crouch on after his recent underwhelming scores, until he bounced back this week, but is this just an outlier (especially against hawks)
Neale’s 60 is barely forgivable and massive tag risk from here on out.
also not sold on Miller but not sure of any other targets around that price?
I’d keep Crouch after the weekend, and the 60 was Neale’s 2nd score <75 in 3 weeks, with more tags incoming.
I like #2, with LDU instead of Miller, but I’d go Neale to Merrett, and Mills to Flanders
i already hav LDU and flanders
Probably option 2 then. All the options below $765k (Cripps, Bailey Dale, Dom Sheed, and Impey are my picks) are fraught with danger
ok, what about Jelly over Miller? better option? but then i’d be bringing in 2 giants at the same time, not sure if thats a great idea
Giants have the hardest run for midfielders of any team. Miller due to that reason, just
I forgot about M Crouch. What about him and Merrett?
great suggestion, are we confident in his JS?
He has to get a game this week after his performance on the weekend, was a clearance beast. I’d say good for at least a couple of weeks
thanks for taking the time to help mate. much appreciated
All good, I hope your trades work out perfectly :)
Matt crouch was solid or ratkins if you have balls or steel
Getting rid of keays. Should I go to cogs or parish?? (Or anyone else under 920k)
I’d usually say Cogs, but he’s got the tough Sydney match-up this week vs Parish playing West Coast. So Parish
M. Crouch or Miller?
M. Crouch
Neale to Merrett, surely Merrett drops a bomb on the Eagles.
Rank the F6 options out of Butters, Macrae, Flanders and Sheezel
Flanders, Sheezel, Macrae, Butters
What to do with Neale?
Where to go, I can get to Parish or Viney or side swap for MccCluggage?
Parish
Vineys looking strong, and coming off a 133, he certainly is an option
I would forget Viney. His average these last few games are way over than what he has averaged other years.
best player option?
Zach Merrett
over LDU?
I can get to anyone
Gees, does anyone have any defenders whose surname doesn’t start with D or S.
Ryan
Option 1: Cerra and Newcombe to treloar and Cripps.
Option 2: Cerra to touk and soldo to a Jackson type.
Any thoughts around this?
You probably need to move Soldo on as Nankervis is due back this week and will be the first ruck.
Def: dawson, daicos, stewart, docherty, day, sinclair (chesser, o’donnell)
Mid: Miller, Brayshaw, Serong, Steele, Merrett, Crouch, Neale, Mills ( Fletcher, Roberts)
Ruck: english, marshall (Visentini)
Fwd: Butters, Taranto, Guldon, Rozee, Flanders, Coniglio (Maric, Williams)
I have 48k remaining. Going into finals I need as many thoughts as possible. Please help!
Fletcher to Nankervis and Mills to LDU
Who to bring in this week
Viney and Newman or
Dunkley and Impey
Option 2. At least you getting one ultra premo.
Hi..cant decide…N.Anderson..M.Crouch or Flanders
Anderson,Flanders or M.Crouch?
Ned Flanders
