I know he scored well but I don’t like A. Brayshaw’s wing role and am concerned about his scores going forward – what does everyone think?
He did spend quality time in the midfield I seen. He got 6 clearances mainly when injuries started to hit and young moved down back a little bit. Fyfe also was rested quite a bit and moved forward on occasions. Even now Serong gets attention moving forward I think brayshaw role in midfield still there.
Surely, you have other fires to burn than to worry about a guy scoring 118. Having said that Grundy did score 118 in round 0 and I’m looking to downgrade him for Xerri and upgrading Wines, lol.
If Grundy can’t return to his best against goldy this week then you can start to think about it.
I’ve now seen he actually have 70% CBAs, which is a lot more than what I thought he had. I also have Wines and I agree, had 46% CBAs and if that’s anything to go by then unfortunately I think he needs to be traded
Reckon Wines will be fine barely got out of 2nd gear for the negligible opposition.
Yeah, had him in most PS. Jumped off him late after considering this sort of thing. Value in him for sure.
He’s not a bad pick even if he does spend less time inside. You know he’s going to work hard and try to round out the stat sheet regardless.
JORDAN DAWSON (Zac’s brother)
Whilst his 89 isn’t deplorable (not far from it) – I didn’t pay up the big bucks for that. Game didn’t get televised up here in Darwin so I’m looking for info from someone who watched the game. Was his midfield time/role effected by say Crouch/Rankine or did he run with someone or someone run with him or did he just have a quiet 1st 3/4 (57).
Cheers,
Andrew
Dawson’s game was deplorable. He butchered it. They’re drinking the Kool-Aid already believing in flagcrows 24’
Guys like Bont and Dawson will bounce back. But there are guys like Billings and Bonner now to consider for value.
Started slow, took a bit to adjust to the conditions, slick to start then bucketed down, finished OK.
Rd 1 Score 2126. Rank 1702.
Captain Green was handy..
Beast
Problems;
Grundy – too early to trade to Xerri ?
Fisher – too early to trade to Billings ?
Wines – if you. have Crouch already who does he go to ?
Coffield – on the bench, with Howes on the field ?
budarick out
some how get bonner
Xerri was instalock IMO. Not sure I’d jump off Grundy for him.
Don’t chase Billings.
Fisher should be ok?
Wines the same? Inside mid Vs WC…not a lot of contest for him to feed off I reckon.
Coff: Yeah, I’m not stoked with him. Might chop him if I can get to the guy I want.
1988.
Won my leagues, just.
D: Whitfield, Young, Stewart, Short, Salem Coff. (Howe, Dean)
M: Steele, Touk, Piglet, Crouch, Wines, Yeo, McK, Sanders (Windsor, Roberts)
R: Grundy, Xerri (Barny)
F: Heeeeeeeney, Fisher, Fyfe, Jordan, Sexc, LZ. (Campbell, Thomas, Wilson)
Thought I was doing well….#32k….. xD
Made a play to take rd 0 rookies, with the game plan being all things even could sneak a cheeky 100k or so. Windsor was in over Sharp because of budget. Would have bee nnice if he’d avoided the sub, was scoring well.
Waiting for lockout to finish, to see if I can make the Windsor to Sharp upgrade I had planned, along with an adjustment.
If you don’t have crouch, is the obvious move to dump wines and go up to crouch? Or should a downgrade to bonner be the first priority
I reckon Wines will be fine, I’d be focusing on cash generation from rookies, surely you have a couple to swap around.
coulda been worse, ended with 2079 without too many holes..
+3 goes to Sheez, Whitfield ($$) Green (C), Rowell, McKercher, Gawn& Heeney with a special ention to Dempsey who was on the bench, but still..
-3 goes to Coffield, Bont, Wines, Grundy, Fisher and BEVO..
was looking at Grundy to Xerri, but holding off for a week on that one as Grundy at home against a 48 year old Goldy should hold his own (90+) which is good enough for me..
trades are a bit royactionary, but looking at Wines to Billings and then Fisher to Perkins, figure these duos should score about the same, so i’m really just playing the BE game..
Billings or Bonner..
Bonner for me with Webster out if he can average 90 for next 4/5 week and with no bye its a tasty selection.
Good Luck
Agree with Greg. I have enough $s to bring in Bonner and Daicos this week with $111K left over.
Glad to see i wasn’t the only one caught out by Budarick :((
Good Luck Wayne :)
Thanks Greg, good luck to you too. Sorry I didn’t/couldn’t join your leagues. Spent 2 months in hospital after having a massive stroke.
Hope ur OK now
Thank you Cecil. Confined to a wheelchair at the moment but doing a lot of rehab. The main thing is I am still able to play my fantasy games.
best wishes to you Dulcify.
Thank you Mark, much appreciated.
That’s no good ole fella hope you are feeling better and make a full recovery :)
Good Luck
Nice start champ
Hope you’re okay legend
Thank you John, much appreciated.
thoughts on Jordan out Bonner in, Windsor into my team rather than utility and sanders or Roberts utility.
or should I go coffield out, howes in, and then bont out serong in
roberts and sanders over windsor anyday
DEF: Whitfield, Young, Yeo, Willaims, Howes, Coffield (Reid, Pink)
MID: Green, Laird, Rozee, Steele, Martin, Hewett, McKercher, Sanders ( Roberts, Clark)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
FWD: Jackson, Fisher, Jordan, Sexton, Reid, Lazzaro ( Wilson, Duursma)
UTIL: Sharp.
Trades:
Yeo down to D’Ambrosio
Wines down to Bonner
Grundy to xerri
Fisher to billings
Thoughts on which 2 of these would be best?
I’d hold Grundy for this round, still a realtively low BE and playing an old Goldstein, so an opportunity to make some ground back on this weeks score.
D’Ambrosio did the same thing last year, had a blue moon game and fell off, I’d wait to see what the next 2 games do and if he can hold form.
Fisher looked awful so that would be my move.
Trading Wines to Bonner and looking at moving Fisher on this week as he looked terrible on the weekend.
Thinking of one of the following..
Fisher to Perkins with $188k in the bank
Fisher to Billings with $304k left in the bank
Fisher to Flanders with $7k in the bank
Currently ranked 12,128.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Perkins, easy
Yeo out Bonner in
Coffield out D’Ambrosio in.
What do you guys think about it?
Try and keep coffield!!
Concentrate on your best 18, and then fixing worst bench rider. Coffield prob not in your best 18, and prob not worst ‘other’ player needing to be fixed, so can be ignored this round
DEF: whitfield, sheezel, young, yeo, budarick, williams (coffield, howes)
MID: bont, dawson, newcombe, martin, crouch, wines, mckercher, sanders (roberts, clark)
RUCK: gawn, grundy (barnett)
FWD: fisher, fyfe, jordon, sexton, reid, lazzaro (wilson, campbell)
horrid start plenty of let downs, wondering who to give the flick to first out of budarick, fisher & coffield being my main priorities.
budarick and fisher out, coffield is still a cash cow despite the low score.
Sound advice SPB. Couldn’t agree more.👍
thinking budarick -> D’Ambrosio
leaving me with only 685k to upgrade fisher
fisher-> perkins?
fisher -> rankine?
Same position I’m leaning towards wines to bonner and budarick out. Other options to consider
1 wines to bonner. Dud-arick to Clark
2 dud-arick dick to massimo. And a 308k rookie (sanders, Mckercher, Robert’s, and Reid( if Reid then Lazzaro and Wilson on field)) up to bonner
3 Grundy to Xman. Campbell to bonner
4 should I fix rookies instead
5 wines to bonner. Lazzaro to Fyfe, MacDonald
Didn’t realise it was best 18 only for these early byes, certainly changes my trade thinking a little bit.
Should I back bont… or do a straight swap for tom green considering he’s playing the eagles this week. Probably smart but there’s other trades that could definitely be more important (wines)
There’s absolutely no way you trade Bont out this week
cheers
I have four on the chopping block: Wines, Fisher, Coffield & Jhye Clark. And holding Grundy.
First thoughts are Fish to Billings which gives the cash to get Coff to D’Ambo. But that means I miss the cash gen on the likes of Dempsey or Sharp.
Any feedback – this plan ok, or do I dump Clark for the cash gen?
I doubt Billings is going to have another game like that, id try to get rid of fisher though he looked terrible
Three trade options,
wines to bonner. Dud-arick to Clarkbuda-dick to massimo. And a 308k rookie (sanders, Mckercher, Robert’s, and Reid( if Reid then Lazzaro and Wilson on field)) up to bonnerGrundy to Xman. Campbell to bonner
four trade options,
1 wines to bonner. Dud-arick to Clark
2 dud-arick dick to massimo. And a 308k rookie (sanders, Mckercher, Robert’s, and Reid( if Reid then Lazzaro and Wilson on field)) up to bonner
3 Grundy to Xman. Campbell to bonner
4 should I fix rookies instead
Grundy –> Xerri
Wines –> Heeney
Not sure to trade Grundy or not?Lots of cash potential and no bye for Xerri, Thoughts?
dont trade grundy, playing against oldy mouldy goldy
Def:Daicos, Whitfield, Sheezel, young, williams coffield(Howes reid)
Mid: Bont, Butters, newcombe martin, Hewett, mckercher, roberts sanders(Clark Mannuagh)
Ruck: Gawn, Grundy(Barnett)
Fwd: Heeney, fisher, fyfe, jordan, sexton, reid(Lazzaro, wilson)
Utility(Campbell)
111k in bank
Definetly trading Hewett out probably for bonner. Then thinking mannuagh to one of sharp or dempsey?
This leaving me with 190k in the bank
Any other ideas would be great.
Max, Mannagh may be named over Clark this week, I would wait until teams are announced. Both rooks you are considering will make cash and look to be in the starting line-ups, it a toss of the coin for scoring. IMO,
thanks, apreciate it a lot
Thoughts on what trades to do this week?
Budderick I think needs to go
Any ideas
DEF: Sheezel, Whitfield, Young, Houston, Budarick, Zilliams (Reid, Howes)
MID: Zerrett, Green, Rozee, N Martin, Wines, McKercher, Sanders, Roberts (Mannagh, Clark)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
FWD: Jackson, Heeney, Jordon, Sexton, Reid, Lazzaro (Wilson, Campbell)
UTIL: Cadman
Any ideas would be appreciated
Got 30k in the bank
Grundy > Xerri
Wines > Crouch
Give Budarick another week, if he flops another 25, well, at least his score won’t count, lol. Trade him out in round 3 for Massive Dick’Ambrosio.
Worth trading Fisher to Bonner if no other player can get me to him?
Subject to the impact of Sinclair, no probs with that move
Thoughts on trades?
Gibcus > Pink
Clark (GEE) > Duursma (NM)
Leaves $18k in the bank.
You must be in a good position to only need to fix up some rookies.
looking for a new mid to replace Wines, have 1.01m, thoughts on a keeper??
1 – Serong, not gonna get 161 every week, but WOWEE!!!
2 – Laird, picture of consistency..
3 – Rozee, got 111 with 0 tackles, plus plays a few more home games..
4 – Butters, personal favourite player, walked to 107 on limited pre-season..
leaning towards 1 or 3 as that’s better for my bye structure and less likely for injury over Butters..
I’ll go with 1 but it’s always more fun to watch players you like.
Any Idea what to do this week?
Went risky and got Budarik and Houston who looked the goods in the 1st quarter. Feel like both of them need to be moved on. Any idea who to move them to, was thinking Budarik to Massimo and Houston to Crouch through DPP, Massimo is a big risk that Im not sure I’m willing to take after this weeks failures. Please let me Know.
Houston is the kind of guy that can score between 65 and 130 in any week. Budarick, you can give another week, it’s best 18 only and I don’t think he’ll drop in price much unless he scores another 25. But if these are the only fires you need to burn then I say make those trades you suggested.
Cheers, Have Wanganeen as well but he was alright, although didn’t set the world on fire. Could move Clark to Sharp, give budarik a week and move one of Newcombe, Wanganeen and Houstoun to Crouch. Which one do you think goes first and does Budarik warrant a week, how did he score so badly?
I think Budarick needs 65 or something to break even, I think he can do that, don’t know why he looked bad last week, maybe the heat and Dewey conditions. Personally, I’m bringing in Sharp myself for Wines, and Upgrading Yeo to Daicos. Didn’t like the time on ground for both Wines and Yeo. Can’t go wrong with Cash gen.
What do you guys think about
Yeo out Bonner in
and Coffield out D’Ambrosio in
Trade ideas 30k in bank
Grundy- Billings via DPP (Jackson)
Buddarick- D’ambrosio
Or
Wines to Bonner
Buddarick- D’Ambrosio
Or
Fix up mid rooks and get sharp
What are people thoughts
DEF: Sheezel, Whitfield, Young, Houston, Budarick, Zilliams (Reid, Howes)
MID: Zerrett, Green, Rozee, N Martin, Wines, McKercher, Sanders, Roberts (Mannagh, Clark)

FWD: Jackson, Heeney, Jordon, Sexton, Reid, Lazzaro (Wilson, Campbell)
UTIL: Cadman
Who deserves to be unloaded this week, keeping in mind it’s top 18 scores for byes:
Budarick, Wines, Newcombe, Grundy, Fisher or Coffield
Trading in: Bonner, D’Ambrosio or Sharp/ Dempsey Sheezel
Was Lucky to barely crack 2k for Round 1 🙃 appreciate any feedback legends
in a similar boat, im thinking i might go wines ==> bonner and grundy ==> xerri and using the cash next week to launch. if youve already got Big X Id go budarick to dambrosio
Yeah that sounds like the way to go with your trades legend, good luck
Am Lucky that I started with Xerri, for sure Budarick needs to go with 70odd be & bye next week, just not 100% sold to trade Wines or not, knowing it’s top 18
Thinking I could even fix rooks with Reid or Clark if he’s not named with either Dempsey or Hore type
Should I get rid of Elijah Tsatas? He’s been great when playing but was a surprise sub last week!
Thinking Tsatas –> Dempsey and Reid –> Massimo
But could ditch Yeo or Budarick instead of Tsatas however??
i assume youre talking about Zach Reid?? you could 100% make those trades if tsatas is on the bench, i wouldnt have demps on field. Yeo is probably a hold, remember he was the second highest scorer on his team and he was @ port. If Tsatas is the sub or in doubt trade him, if not, go budarick
Thank you! Yes, it’s Zach Reid, and yes, that would mean two of either Dempsey, Harley Reid, Seth Campbell, Lazzaro, or Darcy Wilson on field
Personally I’d be comfortable with playing reid and wilson on field, was fine last week and will probably do it again
does sicily go?
Def: Daicos, Sheezel, Wanganeen-Milera, Young, Coffield, Howes (Zilliams, Dean)
Mid: Bont, Dawson, Rozee, Martin, Wines, McKercher, Sharp, Sanders (Roberts, Hall)
Ruck: Gawn, Grundy (Heath)
Fwd: Heeney, Fisher, Jordon, Sexton, Reid, Wilson (Lazzaro, Duurs)
Util: Mannagh
Got $77k in the bank. Was going the route of Wines to Bonner and Coffield to D’Ambrosio like many others seem to be but being top 18 should I look to move someone like Fisher or NWM before jumping off Coffield straight away? Not too keen to jump off Grundy and Wines seems like he has to go. Any thoughts?
A couple of things you could consider. Wines out for Bonner, Fisher up to Flanders/Jackson.
The other thing you could consider is Fisher down to Dempsey/Cadman, and then Wines up to whichever midfielder you like the most. Good luck.
Thoughts on my team did okay scoring 2058, I think i can only really trade out Newcombe but i feel like he’s going to bounce back this week.
Def: Daicos, Milera, Sheezel, Young, Coffield, Howes (Williams,Reid)
Mid: Bont, Green, Butters, Newcombe, Martin, Colby, Sanders, Roberts (Clarke, Mannagh)
Fwd: Heeney, Fisher, Jordan, Sexton, Reid, Wilson (Windsor, Lazzaro)
Utility: Campbell
I have 500k in the bank. Do I go for the cash cows I missed – so bring in Dempsey/Billings for Burgess/Lazzaro or do I get the big guns in with Heeney/Serong for Nartin/Fisher
Help! 2021 scored Rd 1. Do I keep Z Reid for C loophole if Barny is elevated? How could I bring Demsey in – I still like Tsatas if he isn’t made sub.
D: Daicos, Young, Sheez, Z Williams, Yeo, Budda, . (Howes, Z Reid)
M: Bont, Green, Rozee, N Martin, Bonner, Wardlaw, McK, Sanders (Jy Clark, Roberts)

F: Heeney, Sexton, Fisher, Jordan, E Tsatas, H Reid. (Campbell, Lazz, Wilson)

Mid: Rozzee, Miller, Rowell, Martin, Wines, Jordon, McKercher, Sanders (Roberts, Clark)
Ruck: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
Fwd: Jackson, Heeney, Owens, Fishers, Sexton, Reid (Simpson, D Wilson)
Utl: (Mannagh)
Owens —> Campbell (Wilson on)
Fisher—> Serong
Could go for someone cheaper for more cash maybe
Thoughts?
