Amon, Viney or Treloar for the final round?
Amon’s a winger – could be very up & down, Treloar could get Bevo’d, Viney has shown he still gets the points with both Clarry & Trac beside him.
I don’t think Tex Walker is gonna score 10 goals anymore.
Not with Hurn playing his final retirement game and McGovern will help out too.
Brouch / Neale / Doch to Laird or Jackson / Cogs / Taranto to Butters?
I want Jackson to Laird, but I only have 6 forwards with Jackson, so I can’t grab another mid if he goes out.
Jackson to Butters with the tough match up
LDU effed me.
Scored 2522. Lost my 2 main leagues by 4 points. My sub only got 61. I loopholed RoMo’s 141 just incase English fell over. That extra 5 points……….FMDT.
First forced trade is Ziebel. Haven’t worked out the rest
Def: dawson, Sicily, stewart, docherty, day, sinclair (chesser, o’donnell)
Mid: LDU, Brayshaw, Serong, Steele, Merrett, Crouch, Parish, Green ( Fletcher, Roberts)
Ruck: english, marshall (Visentini)
Fwd: Butters, Taranto, Guldon, Rozee, Ziebell, Flanders (Maric, Williams)
I have 20k remaining and i’m stuck for grand final. any thoughts?
Ziebell won’t be playing, so downgrade a rook and go Ziebell -> Cogs
Or if you don’t have the cash for that, Ziebell -> Sheezel
I believe Ziebel played his last game last week, so forced trade there.
Docherty is out also – looks like your trade outs are cleared up!
Was late on the LDU out so I still have him but will he play this week or is he a trade out?
I hope he plays, otherwise another forced trade for me.
Round 22: Sheez to Jackson – this was a fail. So now I’m thinking to reverse it: Jackson to Sheez, leaves me enough to go Serong to Laird :)
have made it into my classic comp final but my team is nowhere near as good as my opponents. looking to make some ballsy trades and trade out two promos for Pods obvious pod is tex but not sure what promos I could trade. would love any ideas on under performers this week cheers
I like the looks of matt crouch against the eagles as a pod option
Not sure what to do going into the GF. Kinda feel like I’ve got the best team money can buy already.
Def: Newman, Sicily, Doch, Sinclair, Dawson, Stewart
Mid: Bont, Zerret, Green, Laird, Brayshaw, Serong, Trac, Steele
Ruck: English, Marshall
Fwd: Gulden, Rozee, Butters, Dunkley, Taranto, Coniglio
150k in the bank
Thinking Serong to Oliver and then maybe Steele to Parish just for something to do but very open to any suggestions!
I’d get rid of Brayshaw cos I think he’ll cop the Finn tag.
Taranto to Sheezel/Flanders?
I have $180k in the bank and team is currently:
DEF: Dawson, Newman, Sicily, Sinclair, Stewart, Day.
MID: Bont, Laird, Merrett, Green, B. Crouch, Petracca, Steele, Neale.
RUC: English, Marshall.
FWD: Gulden, Rozee, Butters, Taranto, Cogs, Jackson.
The only differences between me and my grand final opponent are:
Brayshaw instead of Merrett
Dunkley instead of Jackson
Mills instead of Neale
Hewett instead of Petracca
Thinking of going Jackson to Dunks to match. Other trade no idea except I am liking Matt Crouch and Sheez as value but could make it to Oliver. Any thoughts would be a great help. Cheers
Anyone getting Amon?? He’s getting it done. Nice pod
Taranto to Tex?
I would be waiting for the Eagles team announcement. I don’t think the Eagles will let Hurn have 10 goals against in his retirement game at home for a send off.
have made it into my grand final but my team is nowhere near as good as my opponents. looking to make some dody trades and trade out ziebell and a promo someone cheap that will score the ton but not sure what promos I could trade. would love any ideas on under performers this week cheers.
Def: dawson, Sicily, stewart, docherty, day, sinclair (chesser, o’donnell)
Mid: LDU, Brayshaw, Serong, Steele, Merrett, Crouch, Parish, Green ( Fletcher, Roberts)

Fwd: Butters, Taranto, Guldon, Rozee, Ziebell, Flanders (Maric, Williams)
I have 20k remaining
LDU foot injury he suffered while surfing.
Unsure if he gets up this week. So I it’s a trade for me.
Brayshaw and Serong, they both can go, lol. I think I’m going to bring in M.Crouch and Walker for the hell of it. C on Walker, with a 1 bet dollar bet for Coleman and some popcorn on Saturday Night.
trade both serong and brayshaw? or one of them and either day or jackson?
Bit of an accolade for the best rookie season ever: NM with a no pressure game vs Suns, also with no pressure, lots of casual kicking around the back half. No Ziebell or Hall to get in the way, so Sheezel for VC to cap his first season!!
English, and short
or
Gawn, Sicily
Hi everyone..into my grandfinal match up and need your feedback on which trade you like better
1. Doch to Flanders (via Sheezel) Hewitt to M.Crouch …. or…….
2. Doch to Flanders ..Brayshaw to Oliver.
Need help going into league GF…
Option 1:
LDU > Laird
Serong > anyone under 806k
Option 2:
LDU > Green
Serong > anyone under 859k
What are the safest/best options for these price brackets? (already have M.Crouch and flanders)
