Haha, been waiting for this since last night xD
Playing you is like running in the Stawell Gift…all your battlers get a 10 point head start. Was just a warm up for my crew, while your boys just played their premiership in round 2!.
You can have the 4 points, I’ll have the flag!
1895 o/a AF rank 393
Nice Liz
Good Luck
Glad to see somebody flying the flag for us flogs.
Yeah well done Lizard, keep it up. Good luck.🤞💪👏
thx all.
I’m not liking the look of Hayden Young, whether I trade up or down remains to be seen.
Alex Sexton might also be on the chopping block.
Choosing Lazzaro over Duursma is looking like a bad choice with every week.
Mixed Bag for the Mid Pricers:
+ Massive D, Xerri, Yeo
– Bonner, Billings, Fyfe
Agree with you on Young. With his mid role he is not getting enough marks, his fantasy scoring was better as a defender because he was the go to man from kick ins.
Priority Trade Out?
Coffield or ZachReid?
Coffield
HAYDEN YOUNG
What was his role – HBF or more midfield?
midfield
Thank Ben
That was a fun round :(
Cunningham 0
Coffield 2
Brown 22
Viney (M1) 60
Crikey. Viney at M1?
Think you need to beef up that midfield ASAP.. Missing out on top end scores hurts, especially with the early bye rounds.
you deserved that with that lineup god awful hahaha
Coffield 2, Tsatas 51, Sexton 49 👌
Down to 25,739th
Cos of the bye thinking about downgrading whitfield to massive d, upgrading sexton, tom green on the bench for roberts
Thoughts?
Also jack macrae had 47 touches in the vfl, maybe a return
I’m thinking McRae as a possible trade this round. Early game on Friday makes it harder..
Thinking of downgrading whitfield to massive d, then upgrading from sexton to jack macrae, should get a game this week after his vfl performance, if not probably flanders
Big POD option?
Def: Whitfield, Sheezel, Young, Clark, Burton, Howes (Reid, Schoenmaker)
Mid: Bont, Green, Steele, Martin, Bonner, Roberts, Mckercher, Sanders (Sharp, Clark)
Ruck: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
Forw: Jackson, Perkins, Lipinksi, Jordan, Reid, Lazzaro (Cambell, Cadman)
Unsure what trades to do this week. Have 338k in the bank. Most likely trading Whitfield but keeping green. Any tips?
I would trade Green and keep whitfield to maximise your score for this round and maybe trade bonner.
Ps: Your sister it a Baddie.
@WarnieDT
do you have to trade sexy-town
I don’t think so.
Still making cash, solid job security, cash cow priced so don’t miss out on scoring while he’s got the bye.
Prioritising team development over the byes will have people a premium ahead for the next 3 months, not just a 1 week coinflip with sjdeways trading bye players.
Thoughts on holding Will Powell? I’ve had him since the start. But hasn’t quite got to the output I thought he might get under Dimma
Got no idea what to do with Josh Kelly do I hold or trade? Can trade him to nwm and go sexton to Powell or can do sexton to Duursma and go Kelly to dawson/dunkley
Or do I hold Kelly and do a bonner to Massimo
Def: Daicos, Sheezel, Whitfield, Young, Dambrosio, Williams(Coffield, Howes)
Mid: Bont, Butters, newcombe, martin, bonner, roberts, mckercher, sanders(Mannaugh, Clark)
Fwd: Heeney, Fisher, jordan Fyfe, Sexton,Reid(Lazzaro, Wilson)
Utiltity; Campbell
55k in bank
Should of traded Newcombe last week so 100% doing that this week. Other than that I’m unsure what do do.
Daicos could be traded as he had a tough matchup and a bye coming up.
Whitfield and sexton both have the bye this week so they could be moved on too.
Any other ides/opinions would be much appreciated.
In a similar boat, im probably going to downgrade whitfield to d’ambrosio, then upgrade sexton to a stronger forward . Possibly to Macrae if he comes back for the dogs, had a massive game in the vfl and if he comes back to the midfield going to think about it.
Sorry to say this mate but you are fucked. Too many bye-round players are gonna screw you over this week. Looks like your fantasy season is done
That’s a bit harsh John. Whitfield and Sexton are the two players who have the bye this week.
Nonsense John. That team has as many bye players as everyone else.
Ur sister is fit mate shut your mouth.
Her being a year 7 won’t hold me back
How’s Scarlett Dulong going mate
Pretty sure John is having a stroke, and actually asking about Barnett’s Schlong.
John you sound like someone who would have a hot sister 👩 😎❤️
Well, he thinks she is…
Coffield has to go.
Tom Green is awesome, but am I happy to potentially lose a league match and ranking spots to fix another issue or go for now Green to Serong or the like ?
I reckon that’s luxury. Green has great fixture after bye. Serong is on fire though
Salem to Ambrosio?
Any other Salem owners concerned that he was on like 40 points halfway through the last quarter and banked 60 odd points in junk time playing kick to kick with the full back?
He’s still been averaging good numbers. Im leaving it and keeping my fingers crossed
He’s still been averaging good numbers. I’m leaving it and keeping my fingers crossed
my thoughts as well. can rely on him playing kick to kick for half a quarter each game. also mid job is gone which i was hoping he would keep for a bit
thought on tom powell. great start to season with plenty of CBAs as well
budarick -> d’ambrosio
sexton -> powell
OR
budarick -> d’ambrosio
newcombe -> warner / setterfield (don’t have enough $ for anyone else significant)
first one, surely newcombe is due for his occasional 130 now with 15 tackles.
yeah that’s what i’m kinda banking on, also have coffield sitting on the bench but thinking that will be okay to leave for a week since he won’t bleed any cash and have good cover for him.
Locked in trade Budarick – Massive D
Still got sexton but dont have cash to go to Powell, what other options??
Already got Jordon and Billings.
Also got Whitfield down back.
Sexton for missed rookie like Duursma or Thomas isn’t a bad move.
Everyone jumping on a Massive D while Sex100 is out.
No one looking at Sicily …. ???!!!
Sicily isn’t good for your mental health.
He’s always done well by me. Actually considering trying to get him in, and already have 7 “premium” (ish) defenders if you include Yeo.
Value is value, and he’s a proven top 6 defender. Can’t really go wrong I think, just an issue of whether or not there’s enough value there to warrant prioritising him now.
Oh, I never said he wasn’t a decent pick, just that he’ll score 45 one week and 160 the next, and be suspended for 2 or 3 weeks. But he’ll still average 105+ while making you lose your hair in the process.
Hey, a question around vc vs captain loophole. So with with best 18 on field how does this work. So for example this week if I put vc on Dawson and a c on Bont and I want to keep Dawson score how do I play it . Do I just put c on a non player on bench?
Non playing player must be on field, and you set them Captain.
Be careful with match schedule and late selections etc, don’t want an emergency coming in and getting a game.
Thanks wasn’t sure if on bench or field
Bonner to Butters and field howes or trade Reid to Massimo (hold bonner, bench howes)???
No need to trade Bonner.
Def: Daicos, Whitfield, Young, Salem, Williams, Howes (Reid, Coffield)
Mid: Green, Bont, Steele, M.Crouch, Martin, Roberts, McKercher, Sharp (Sanders, Duursma)
Ruck: Gawn, Grundy
Fwd: Heeney, Fisher, Jordan, Sexton, Reid, Wilson (Windsor, Lazzaro)
Utl: (Mannagh)
Shit start to the year, kinda the opposite to last year. Don’t really have the luxury to sideways trade those with byes. got a lot of players i would to trade in/out.
I want to get rid of Grundy and get Xerri.
Daicos is tempting to get Sheezel cause of his bye and breakeven (might wait until his bye to trade.
Young and Salem: Want to trade one to get D’Ambrosio. Young, doesn’t look great. Salem had like 40 halfway through the last. can’t rely on him playing kick to kick for half the last quater.
Coffield and Reid: Reid will probably sit until closer to mid season byes. Coffield i should trade but can’t go up and not much to go down, might wait till next round.
Thoughts?
If you want Massive D, I’ll trade Salem for him. Let’s hope Ryan Schoenmakers is named, best transfer possible for Reid.
Otherwise Grundy to Xerri, easy choice with the Swans bye coming up and Xerri will make loads of cash.
Which Trade is the go:
Trade 1:
Newcombe >> Massimo
Sexton >> Powell
131k Remaining.
This Means I have Whitfield and green on the bench, and almost an automatic loss in my competition. Still dont have sheezel.
Trade 2:
Newcombe >> Massimo OR Powell
Whitfield >> Sheezel
250k remaining (with Massimo) OR 211k remaining (with Powell).
Who is the go, Powell or Massimo? Also need Sheezel in the team ASAP before he gets too expensive.
Number 2 Massive D for me. I’m always curious as to which Roo will get midfied minutes each week.
DEF: Sheezel, NWM, Young, Clark, Yeo, Williams (Reid, Howes)
MID: Serong, Butters, Steele, Wines, Bonner, McKercher, Sanders, Sharp (Roberts, Clark)
RUC: Grundy, Xerri (Barnett)
FWD: Heeney, Flanders, Fisher, Jordon, Sexton, Wilson (Reid, Duursma)
UTI – Lazzaro
Option 1 – Sexton & Reid to Powell and Massimo. Means one of my midpricers defenders will have to ride the pine but hopefully accumulates good cash.
Option 2 – Sexton and Wines to Powell & Crouch + 300k. Likely better scorer in Crouch but miss out on Massimo. Thoughts?
definitely 2 and use the $$ next week to get Green/Rowell
Keen for thoughts as I want Green next week ($151k banked)
Sexton to Duursma, Dempsey or Gallagher?
Will need to play 3 of the Reid, Cadman, Windsor, Campbell, Lazzaro and above pick for the next 2-3weeks
Other trade probably Young to Clark or maybe something silly like Bont to Crouch which could get me Flanders as well next week
Take your pick with any rookie, it’s russian roulette from here as to who will gain the most value. I’ll be tempted to trade Bont as well, but if Harvey Gallagher can get 100 agaisnt the weagles than surely Bont gets 200.
Hyden young to sick dawg? Or keep my 62k for next week
Fair trade, but just be prepared for the yo-yo scoring.
Sexton to Powell, coffield to windhager, 27k left I have Whitfield, Williams, Massimo and Howes
I’m not sold on windhager yet.
R2 score 1886, Rank 2200
Have Whitfield, Green, Rowell, Sexton bye this week
Current trades –
Rowell -> Serong
Sexton -> Powell / D’Ambrosio
Can’t decide out of Powell or D’Ambrosio
Thoughts?
People ranked in the top 5000, don’t need advice from the likes of us.
Would go for massive d
Backline looks like this, can afford anyone:
Sheezel, NWM, Young, Massive D, Zilliams
who comes in? Can be D1 or any really good option around that 700-800k mark. Thoughts?
Arkward price range with arkward players, Jordan Clarke has value to make or perhaps wait for Siicily to drop next week or bring back Whitfield next week and reinvest elsewhere.
I’ve still got the ability to buy players from 800k-1mil but struggling to find which is the best option.
Jordan Clarke has some money to make, JJ has the eagles this week too and also going up in price, both you can play for few weeks then upgrade to N. Daicos after his bye. Otherwise just pick Tom Stewart since opposition coaches never man him up anyway.
Should I get rid of salem or young, can trade to massive d, or even waganeen. What do you guys reckon
Probably d’ambrosio actually but is young or salem the priority to get rid of
Def: Sheezel, Young, Salem, J. Clark, Yeo, Coffield (Schoenmaker, Phillips)
Mid: Bont, Dawson, Steele, Martin, Crouch, Bonner, Sanders, McKercher, (Sharp, Roberts)
Ruck: Gawn, Xerri (Barnett)
Fwd: Heeney, Billings, Jordan, Sexton, Reid, Lazzaro (Windsor, Wilson)
Utiltity; Jhye Clark
101k in bank
Thinking of Coffield and Billings -> Powell and Howes
Would like to get rid of Sexton instead of Billings but then can’t afford Powell and would need to bring in Dempsey instead.
Any thoughts?
How many Roos is too many?
I have Sheezel, Fisher, Lazzaro, Xerri, Colby
I want powell but i feel its too many roos in 1 side.
Not enough in my opinion, you need Powell, Duursma, Pink, LDU, Warlaw and Bailey Scott as well.
Sexton & Lazzaro -> Heeney & Gallagher ($10k in the bank, would have 6 NM players on field)
OR
Grundy & Sexton -> Xerri & Powell ($275k in the bank)
2
Would Bont to Steele be ok if it gets you Reid to MDA and a bit of money left over. Rumours of Bont missing this week and has been underwhelming so far. Steele looking good though.
Bont will score 150 against the weagles, lookout for team news though
no he won’t hahah, Bont won’t touch the ton, be subbed in third
Over on the AFL Website the traders have Bontempelli listed as a trap.
Having watched their preview video it was interesting to hear that they are all going with the Bont as their captain.🤪🤷♂️
One of those where you don’t bring him in but if you already have him, you captain him, lol.
Those traders are being very sneaky.
Started the year of really bad. I want to trade out whitfield and sexton.. Sexton to Powell already locked in. Do i go:
Option 1: Whitfield to Wanganeen Milera
Option 2: Whitfield to Massimo and have 300K in the bank.
Only thing is my backline looks a little weak with massimo..most are all value players
