Libba to Oliver
Early days, but rage trading Steele and Stewart to Oliver and Newman.
dont get rid of stewart vs saints
Who goes from these: Day, Steele, Stewart or Coniglio?
Who comes in from these: Laird, Green or Oliver?
Stewart has such a good run by my god he was so sh*t on the weekend
do i trade b.crouch to oliver or anderson to parish or green?
Anderson to Oliver if you can, if not go Parish
It sounds like ($wise) Jack can only trade Anderson to Parish or Green. Crouch being worth more he can get up to Oliver. So what gets more points Oliver and Anderson, or Crouch and either Parish or Green. That is a close call. I think Oliver and Anderson. Oliver option also gives another good captain choice. Just thinking out loud.
Can’t believe Calvin sucked us all into captaining Sicily. And why do guys like SicDawg and Dunkley stink it up the moment you bring them in. ffs
Or get suspended. These are the risks with SicDawg. He’s boom or bust. A fantastic ceiling, but inconsistent af :(
Tom Libatore and Campbell Chesser to Clayton Oliver and Tom Stewart or Tom Green and James Sicily
Safety – Oliver & Stewart; ready to gamble – Green & Sicdawg
Oliver and Stewart every day
I need someone under 831k to get my last rookie off field, who should I get??
Newcombe?
I wouldn’t do Newcombe. He’s been so frustrating all year, although he did get me the win on the weekend
Luke Jackson or maybe Matt Crouch, Angus Brayshaw, Josh Daicos, Karl Amon, Hayden Young..even Jayden Short or George Hewett are OK if you need cash. Decide which position needs boosting
Who do I trade first – Dunkley (role change?) or Steele?
Steele can go to Oliver, Dunkley can go to Butters if you don’t have him.
People think North Melbourne are easy but they tag now every week.
Did they tag against melbourne?
They try to get the best player in each team in the last 3 weeks. Maybe Viney this week??
Def: dawson, Sicily, stewart, docherty, day, sinclair (chesser, o’donnell)
Mid: LDU, Brayshaw, Serong, Steele, Merrett, Crouch, Parish, Flanders (Fletcher, Roberts)
Ruck: english, marshall (Visentini)
Fwd: Butters, Taranto, Guldon, Rozee, Bailey Smith, Coniglio (Maric, Williams)
Im stuck with what to do. Im in the Prelim finals as well. I have about 15k left over and need to upgrade smith to someone cheapish. Thoughts?
Hewett and Green from Crouch and Smith
Sell either:
Maric = $190k
Chesser = $170k
Fletcher = $213k
Bailey Smith ($634k) + 228 = $862k
Macrae ($742k) against WCE? (and without Libba)
That’ll leave you with $120k to use on upgrades next week, or sell Maric for $310k for your final upgrade.
Thoughts on these trades? I couldn’t trade Miller>Green, was just $3k short…

I’ve got $189k in the bank and a bit stuck on what to do. Thinking Kelly to Oliver and ditching Steele or Crouch for another premo. Thoughts on who I should get rid of? Ideally would upgrade Hewett but he’s been good recently and not a decent option to upgrade to at his price.
Steele or bray
Brayshaw
who should go first? steele, crouch, hewett, day or dunkley
Crouch
DEF: Dawson, Ryan, Milera, Newman, Stewart, Impey
MID: Merret, Laird, B Crouch, Brayshaw, Docherty, Parish, Kelly, Mills
RUCK: Marshall, Gawn
FWD: Rozee, Taranto, Conilgio, Flanders, Jackson, Macrae
Have 141k in the bank to upgrade. Looking to upgrade Mills, however Impey and Macrae have been underperforming which is frustrating. Not exactly sure what trades though
Trying to decide to go M.Crouch, Short or Amon for the unique option?
I wish I could go Amon (just short), so him!
Who goes first
Steele or Anderson to Oliver?
Thanks in advance
Anderson has the tough Carlton match-up and Steele plays at marvel. I think Anderson goes because that midfield mix is impossible to workout, his role is not certain.
Thanks.. been doing my head in.. Anderson been getting around 90’s just could not dump him.. since pre byes.
Could say the same for Saints midfield mix. Even guys like Ross, Sinclair, Wood are being thrown in there instead of the so called ‘A’ team.
Who has to go out of sheezel or b. crouch? Ive got windhager on the bench and flanders in the midfield so I could trade in anyone for either of them
Sheezel
M.Crouch or Hewett
Laird or Green
M Crouch and Laird for me. Cap Laird next week
Who goes first
Rory Atkins or Callum Mills
I have 133k in the bank. Am currently thinking Mills into Josh Daicos thoughts
Mills goes, Rat plays better at home.
Trade In which 2?
Oliver
Green
Petracca
Parish
Green nigga
Totally inappropriate. You should be blocked from this site.
Gday gents. Playing for a spot in the granny this week for our draft comp. Some captaincy options include Merrett, Laird, Crouch, Uniacke, Nank or Gawn. What do we reckon. Obvious one being Merrett into Laird but Merrett into Crouch really tempting
Steele or B.Crouch? > Bont
who goes first, steele or crouch?
Option 1:
R23: B.Crouch or Steele > Bont & Doch > Newman
R24: E.Hewett > Tsitas & G.Hewett > Tex
Option 2:
R23: B.Crouch or Steele > Bont & E.Hewett > Tsitas
R24: Stewart or Doch > Newman & G.Hewett > Tex
whats the best way to go?
Hi Everyone….Who to get out of Laird or Green?
It’s a tough call green is cheaper but both are in great form regardless of who they play. I would go Green this week and get Laird for next week if had to choose.
Thanks John
