$313k
Too many people I need to trade. In what order should I trade: ZWill, Mass, McKercher and LJ
Help appreciated
Jackson probably has to go with Hodor back, although would probably be better off getting rid of Williams and Dambro.
Mass for sure needs to be a priority and agree with JM, Jacko as a forward & pinch hit ruck isn’t ideal..
with your 313k and DPP from Martin/Roberts, you got plenty of options..
Probably too many options and I might something a bit different but these are my trades so far.
Williams—>Holmes
Massimo—>Soligo
Could be temporary but what are your thoughts?
yeah, nah.. sideways trades should only be for premos based on match ups.. i like Holmes + Soligo as players, but with 1.4m i reckon you’d be better grabbing Garcia & Walsh, saving some extra $$ for next week to upgrade a Jordan/Fyfe type..
I only thought of those trades as to not bring another rookie on field
When are ddps out, cause they ain’t right now.
Slowly coming out now
Who is the most urgent to trade out
Jackson
Stewart
Dambrosio
Williams
Young
rookies at the peak of there price like Duursma?
young should be fine, don’t quote me but it just hamstring tightness, and he should be available.
Best 22 now, get rid of the injured premos first. Although it does depend what your squad/structure looks like.
I’ve sacked Stewart as I don’t have Williams and Dambrosio, but would be chopping those two first if I had them.
Sitting Stewart on the bench is only missing out on 250k extra scoring potential compared to the other two, which is 50-60 points over the 2 weeks he’s out, but you’ll make that back in the long run by being a premo ahead while you complete your team.
Young was precautionary, and Jackson is doing as expected with Darcy being out and now returning, so whatever your gameplan was with picking him originally is still in play.
Couldn’t get Massimo out quick enough- now have Daicos!
How long/will Zac Williams be out? Not sure what actually happened
Achilles knock.. Might play this week.
Might as well trade him out if he’s gonna be a weekly headache
“Knock” to the Achilles tendon
Needs to go anyway, has done his job

Utl: ZReid
Got $116K in the bank and currently ranked low 8000. Stuck on what to do this week with DPP coming out and trying to get either bonner or martin into backline, Any thoughts would be much appreciated
daicos or whitfield?
whitfield
Daicos
could i field Will Graham in mid?
Any rookie downgrades targets cause I’m scared of cash gen drying up. As well if I go Graham from Williams, I can’t reach to Zorko so can I get hill? Ranked 6500
Hugo Garcia is the best option if you don’t have him yet. Nyuon, Drury, and Lefau still have negative BEs but expect 50s, maybe even 40s.
is heeney still worth getting? Im going from comben to heeney of I do the trade so its a big upgrade.
Heeney has a breakeven of 107 and is getting above and beyond that consistently.
Any help appreciated. Cheers

Only got $56k in the bank, pretty stumped atm. Ranked 4,192. Any ideas for potential trades??
Cash gen an issue IMO
Double downgrade time then??
Best mid to get, can afford anyone
Already have Merrett, green, Rozee
Reckon it depends on team structure/byes at the moment
This is my team

UTL: Pink
Thinking zilliams to Heeney and Duursma down to Garcia, right direction?
Got 408 in the bank, what trades should I look at doing this week?
Initial trades I’m thinking are,
Jackson – Macrae
Zwilliams – Serong via dpp
DEF: Sheezel, Whitfield, Young, Houston,Zilliams, Clohesy (Reid, Howes)
MID: Zerrett, Green, Rozee, N Martin, Bonner, Roberts, Graham, Sharp (Sanders, Mannagh)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
FWD: Heeney, Flanders, Jackson, Powell, , Reid, Dempsey(Ramsden, Drury)
UTIL: Cadman
Agreed. Good time to bring in a big dog
Who would be best to bring in? Daicos or Walsh
Walsh for value
Legends of DT, craving some advice:
DEF: Sheezel, Daicos, Young, Whitfield, Z Williams, Clohesy (Howes, Dean)
MID: Merrett, Green, Steele, Bont, Mrouch, Bonner, Roberts, Sanders (Larazzo, Graham)
RUC: Grundy, Xerri (Barnett)
FWD: Heeney, Flanders, Powell, Dempsey, Wilson, Harcia (Campbell, Cadman)
UTL: Mannagh
Bank: 265k
Got some cash in the bank after double downgrading last week.
Interim plans:
Z Williams to Miller ( via Roberts)
Cadman to Nyuon
I could go Rozee, Walsh, Butters or any Mid under 945k.
If I get Nyuon I miss out on Dawson by 2k.
With a trash ranking inside the top 20k, there’s no point in me going for the Zorkos of this world, I’ll just be getting the same points as everyone else. Gonna go unique and bring in Shai Bolton and watch my season sink faster than the Titanic.
DEF: Sheezel, Young, Houston, McGrath, D’Ambrosio, Clohesy (Reid, Dean)
MID: Steele, Green, Bontempelli, Martin, Bonner, Roberts, Sharp, Graham (Sanders, Clark)
RUC: Gawn, Xerri (Barnett)
FWD: Heeney, Flanders, Jackson, Powell, Reid, Wilson (Garcia, Duursma
UTL: Lazzaro
$143k in the bank
So many areas I need to fix so I need to get creative.
Who to offload out of D’Ambrosio, Sanders, Jackson, Duursma?
Original thought was D’Ambrosio -> Yeo and Sanders -> Nyuon. If I wanted to go Jackson -> Macrae, I could do D’Ambrosio -> Bowes or Lukosius?. Risky PODs though, not sure if it’s worth it for Macrae who could be flicked forward or out of the team at any time.
Remaining sal- $243

Mass or ZWilliams down to Clohesy for your first one. I feel like your team lacks cash gen. Hardly anyone on your bench even plays.
Ugle Hagen on the bench is a concern imo. Unless your holding him for his injury. But that money could be spent on a better player imo.
Getting Clohesy in nets you decent cash though. But you probably need to fix your bench or mid field this week before bringing any players in. I’d look to move Lazzaro on for Hugo Garcia maybe.
Trades this week:
Out: R. Sanders and Z. Fisher
In: Do I get some Zork on my Fork or do I go for the value in Macrae. If I get Zorko I can’t get Hugo Garcia and will likely have a red dot on my bench.
Looking at going Daicos for Massimo and Macrae for Williams (via dpps) – Is Macrae an option – any others around that price worth looking at?
Those trades look okay Fishxma.
I see you are playing a team called Better Loosen Up in the EPL this week.
That’s right – think I could go down in that one!!
That is my team. I’ve noticed that I seem to be randomly put in a league with you every year. You go alright too. Good luck for the rest of the season.
Who goes first out of Massimo and Zac Williams ?
Massimo 100%
First trade is Jackson sideways (Macrae / Bolton / Caldwell all under consideration).
As I only have about $100 to play with, second trade depends on injuries & team sheets – prob Zilliams (if he is named to play) goes out for another mid-pricer like Soligo / Windy / DeGoat. If Zilliams is out then he sits on the bench for a week and Lazz or Clark goes for Garcia.
Sound reasonable?
managed to jump over 1400 spots to be on the verge of top 500, better than expected, care off turning McKercher & Sanders into Walsh & Zorko..
depending on the injuries, i’m going to trade Z-Will or Young, using Martin and/or Roberts as DPP
no cash flow this week, best i can get to, without trading a premo, is around 720k, so tying to separate the best of the underperforming trio of Newcombe, DeGoey and Macrae..
Could hide behind the lower b/e of DeGoat compared to Macrae. A poor round won’t cost you as much
Which of these do I go? (470k in bank from double down last week)
(If Z Will is not playing I hold)
Fish > Flanders
Jackon > Zorko
85K
or
Z Will > Daicos
Jackson > J Kelly
25K
or
Jackson > Macrae
Z Will > Flanders
168k
I like first trade if Z Will is out but Zorko still worries me but some cash left for upgrade next week. Second maximises money but could wait on Daicos and Kelly scares me. Third is risk on Macrae but sets me up for cheap daicos next week.

Got $116K in the bank and currently ranked low 8000. Any thoughts on what I should do. Im thinking of going Depsey -> Zorko and Sanders -> Cooper simpson if he gets a game. Any other thoughts would be great thanks!
Maybe a double downgrade trade like this to get the cash gen flowing?
Clark or Sanders -> H.Garcia
Lazzaro -> Drury or Nyuon
I few options I’m thinking of, trading out Z.Williams to either to Houston, Daicos, Cripps or Zorko with some dpp help there.
Houston looks like a good run.
Daicos is Daicos but is down on last year at the moment.
Cripps is a 90+ this season
And Zorko is doing the unexpected by not getting injured and going at 110.
Who to get?
I think Cripps will kill it this year

Any thoughts or suggestions?
Luke Jackson to Flanders and second trade tom stewart to ??? Or red dot out 4 mccauliff/200,000 and keep stewart and get Howes score and stewart back next week even though his scoring hasn’t been great
Minimum 2 weeks out/21 days with concussion protocols I’m pretty sure. 3rd match is on 20 days also I think, so it might even be 3 weeks out?
Pretty sure 21 days is only everything below the AFL, 12 days minimum. Don’t hold me to that though
Hmm, some food for thought then.
Cheers
AFL concussion protocols state a player must sit out for 12 days minimum. Depending on how bad the player is feeling he could miss any number of weeks.
fisher to walsh and massimo to macrae
thats holding williams if he plays, if he doesnt yeo and caldwell in for massimo and williams? like if trades good, down if i should do other option
which 2 needs to go first
williams (if he plays on weekend)
massimo
fisher
sanders
mass and fish gotta go (dab)
Fisher and Sanders. Sanders too high a BE
which 2 go
fisher
williams
jackson
sanders
comben
Comben and jackson (with rizz)
Fisher and Sanders
merett or anderson. thought anderson as a PoD as only % 2.76 own him.
Anderson it is
Need cash gen, going Zac Williams to Graham, and I can’t double downgrade. My teams only valued at 19.4mill and I am top ten thousand. My rookies pre trades are on field is clohesy, Roberts, McKercher, Harley Reid, Garcia. Bench is Zach Reid, Howes, Rawlinson, hall, mannagh, Campbell, Lazzaro and Barnett.
Which would you choose out of these 3
Walsh
Butters
Gulden
Walsh
Going to trade tom Stewart and potentially green or Jackson I can do also have Sanders and maynard that could be on the chopping block
Stewart > Zorko
Jackson > T, Adams (I have xerri and gawn)
Or
Stewart > Zorko (Nic Martin def DPP)
Green > Walsh
Any other suggestions or are these trades valid?
Cheers
Walsh is definitely too good to pass up at the moment
Who’s the best player around 600k?
Nat Fyfe at 586k
There’s a few at 630 – Soligo, Windhager, Kennedy
Kennedy is worth a shout
Butters, Daicos or Walsh??
All aboard the Walsh train baby
Daicos hasn’t been too good this season but I have faith in him and he might be ready to fire up.
Best combo to bring in?
Daicos and Macrae or
Walsh and Adams
Daicos and macrae definitely.
Agree.
Could Jack Bowes be a good pick at 612k?
Definitely has potential
Walsh or Dawson?
I like both – but also love Dawsons next few games…
Walsh is going huge
