What do we do with fisher and Powell, are they must trades and who do we go to?
1000% fisher gotta go, not sure about Powell however
Do I Sell Gallagher Or Cadman This Round
Gallaghers Breakeven 61 and playing hawks
Cadmans Breakeven is 53 and playing swans
double downgrade week???
anyone know any promising debutons/cash cows
Darcy Jones 234k.
Dempsey/Sharp out.
Ez
Thought so… what about lazzaro and sanders?
Rogers if he gets out of the vest
darcy jones
Double downgraded R7. Sanders & Campbell out.
Helped a lot – 500k in the kitty.
Powell to Gulden this week.
Good time to do it if you can.
Do I Sell Gallagher Or Cadman This Round
Gallaghers Breakeven 61 and playing hawks
Cadmans Breakeven is 53 and playing swans
Who goes first ; Steele, Jackson, Williams, Dempsey ?
Jackson and Dempsey/Williams. Don’t worry about Steele. Jackson -> Macrae is still a good option.
Best 6 forwards for the rest of the year ?
F1 – Heeney
F2 – Flanders
then ?
Is Macrae in the 6 and who else ?
Caldwell He Low Scored Because He Played Collingwood
maybe Dylan moore?, wouldve said zorko but not sure about the role after last week. Gryan Miers has been good aswell, harry mckay?
Strangely reassuring that no matter what changes I make to my team, it will go no higher or lower than ranked 30k.
I have Ascended.
Plz, someone tell me my team is shit and terribly structured and 30k is about where it’s at, cos for a bog average team, only thing that’s glaringly missing is Cheezel de Weezel, and he can get fuct at this point. And Max too I guess, the big spider looking MF’r averaging 130.
D: Daicos, Whitfield, Young, Yeo, Bonner, Clohsey
M: Steele, Gulden, Touk, Laird, Crouch, Roberts, McK, Wilson
R: Grundy, Xerri
F: Heendawg, Flanders, Macca, Powell, Adams, Fyfe
30k….FMDT
Your team is shit and terribly structured and 30k is about where itās at.
It really do be!
Honestly, owning the top 2 players means a reliable captain every week, and is probably the 20k difference right now, lol
Coinflip alone of Daicos over Cheez is about 15k of those hey. Biggest Sliding Doors moment of the season. Cooked before we even started.
Will flag that as good as he is, idk if Darcy will hold his spot with Toby and Daniels coming back in. I expect he’s more likely to be sub/subbed than not
A couple of thoughts.
Clarko may decide Powell was so crap off HFWD & send him back to MF.
If he doesnt then its alarm bells.
Sheezel is no longer the value for $. BE 120 @1.06m however he scored + 100 every round and the next few rounds look ok.
Def: Sheez, Whitfield, NWM, Martin, Roberts, Clohsey (Graham, Pink)
Mid: Rozee, Walsh, Miller, Rowell, Crouch, Hewett, McKercher, Wilson (Garcia, Mckaullfie)
Ruck: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
Fwd: Heeney, Flanders, Jackson, Powell, Fyfe, Reid (Cadman, Nyuon)
Utl: Mannagh
$243k
Jackson will be out this week and I am not too sure who my second trade should be
Help appreciated
Jackson -> Macrae and I’d just go Cadman -> D. Jones. That’s $435k to put on someone next week for another premium.
I’d go Jackson to Macrae and fix up a red dot rookie (Pink or Mannagh). Get the cash gen started in that position, it will help you in future.
Who would be the rookie you go too though?
For the Bulldogs supporters/watchers among us: is Bailey Dale a legitimate option? Is his role sustainable or should I be worried about Bevo doing Bevo things?
might as well go for it
Is Jase Burgoyne an option under 700k in anyline
Not sure if his scores are sustainable, it’s not like he’s the main playmaker from HB or anything like that, it’s almost like his touches are circumstantial. I wouldn’t get him personally, definitely not at his price. But he’s a really good watch at the moment, especially as a Port fan
No, he’s another Will Powell, can have a 2 or 3 block of decent scores but it’s 40s and 50s everywhere else.
R7 Score 2167
Def: Sheez, Whit, Martin, Young, Houston, Pink(C) (Howes(E), Graham)
Mid: Daws, Serong, Green, Crouch, Bonner, Roberts, Cloh, Garcia (Gallagher, Clark)
Ruck: Gawn (VC), Xerri (Barnnet)
Fwd: Heen, Flanders, Zork, Macrae, Dempsey, Wilson (Cadman, Campbell)
45k in bank
No good Mid rook to trade in for Gallagher unless I dpp Wilson to mid but then wont be on field next week
A –
Crouch / Campbell > Merret / Jones
B –
Gallagher / Xerri > Jones / English
(Leaves Wilson or Garcia on mid bench and Jones/Cadman/Campbell as F6)
C –
Gallagher / Campbell > Jones /Hardeman (thru dpp)
Thoughts?
Think Merret v WCE will go nuts
English w BE of 94 and only 100k more than Xerri is pre tempting
A
Best play in any line for 875k and under as a upgrade on fisher
Daicos, Touk or gamble on Parish
Guthrie
No love for Cripps? In ripping form
Finbar Maley
Def:
H.Sheezal, L.Whitfield, N.Martin, H.Young, N.Daicos, R.Bonner,

Ruck:

(H.Barnett)
Fwd:
I.Heeney, S.Flanders, T.Powell, O.Dempsey, H.Gallagher, A.Cadman
(B.Drury, B.Nyuon, Utility: D.Jones)
Trades: S.Campbell -> D.Jones, Z.Williams -> N.Daicos
Good trades? Anything I should do differently?
IMO you should focus on upgrading your attack. I’d rather put Clohesy or Graham on field than Gallagher, Cadman, or even Dempsey. Something like Cadman -> Macrae makes you more points than Williams -> Daicos IMO.
Trades this week,
Coffield to Woewodin for cash gen.
Powel to either B.Dale, N.Daicos, Cripps or G.Miers.
Not sure which one to get this week?
I like the uniqueness and huge ceiling that Dale provides, doubt he ever gets vested again.
Need to trade Rozee, but I already have half of my ‘keepers’ with the R12 bye, so I can’t get Gulden, Dunkley or Green. Have to go Butters or Daicos.
And Dempsey has maxed out I think, so he goes to Guthrie.
But that leaves me with zero cash for next week.
Is Guthrie a trap or is he the mid-season equivalent of Crouch & Yeo?
I feel Guthrie and Dangerfield are going to take turns getting injured but fortune favours the brave.
D: Sheezel, Whitfield, Young, Roberts, Graham, Clohesy (Williams, Reid)
M: Merrett, Dawson, Bont, Green, Walsh, Crouch, Sharp, Reid (Garcia, Clark)
R: Gawn, Xerri (Barnett)
F: Heeney, Flanders, Dempsey, Thomas, Gallagher, Comben (Sanders, Campbell)
U: Pink
Thinking of going Zwill + Sanders –> Macrae and D. Jones.
Open to other options. Thoughts?
Those are some good trades tbh
Do i trade either Dempsey or Sharp???
Probably sharp his role is horrendous
Should i Do Jackson – Macrae or Jackson – Flanders
Flanders 100%
Anyone know if sanders is going to play this week?
Only Bevo knows!!
Don’t think even he knows..
Def: Sheez, Graham, N Martin, Clohesy, Naicos, Maynard, (Pink, Dean)
Mid: Steele, Walsh, T Green, Crouch, Sharp, Fyfe, Flanders, Z Dursma, (Reid, F Macrae)
Ruck: Gawn, Xerri (M Heath)
Fwd: Heeney, Powell, Cadman, Lazzaro, J Macrae, Windsor, (Mannagh, Sanders)
Utl: D Curtin
$14k
Most likely Maynard > Dan Houston and Sanders > H Garcia
Any other suggestions, i was thinking saying bye to Daicos > Houston and Sanders > Harvey Thomas instead but still not too sure.
rather than getting houston try and pick up holmes i reckon, or jordan clark
Cheaper options and houston is variable atm
so you reckon maynard > max holmes and still Sanders > H Garcia?
Sounds good aswell leaves me 86k for next weeks trades or is there another rookie for under 400k that is better than garcia?
Def: Sheezel, Whitefield, Burton, Young, Clark, Clohesy (Draper, Scoenmaker)
Mid: Steele, Green, Bont, Martin, Roberts, Sanders, Sharp (Mckercher, Clark)
Ruck: Gawn, Grundy
For: Flanders, Powell, Jackson, Macrae, Lazzaro, Reid (Cambell, Cadman)
Forgot to make any trades these past two weeks
Most likely trading:
Sharp to Jones
Burton to Daicos
Any Ideas?
Try and get lazzaro off the field, also might want to do something about jackson, with sean back
Im in a boat for trades but I’m going to give sharp another week as he plays richmond. Lazzaro has just been pretty shit so I’m going from him to Jones

If you started with Fyfe, why would you delete him out of your side. Only if you never knew much about the game would you delete him. He may even come into my side this week.
Can I make a plea for 3 trades for every round next year?
I have heard an argument in the past that if more than 2 trades coaches will just try to mimic teams doing well. I don’t think this is valid. Players just want to try to use their skill of selection rather than be cruelled to want to delete their team via unavoidable bad luck.
Reason for 3 trades throughout year now include:
Have mercy and let coaches have some hope of using their skill throughout the year. Yes, it is the same playing field for all but a raft of coaches are left doomed and they have done little wrong!
Thoughts coaches?
I might also add late sub announcements to the reasons as well
Thoughts on what trades to do this week
Got 23k in the bank, what trades should I look at doing this week?
Probably need to flick Rozee but who for and also need to get rid of sanders, any ideas guys
DEF: Sheezel, Whitfield, Martin, Young, Houston,Clohesy (Reid, Howes)
MID: Zerrett, Dawson, Green, Rozee, Bonner, Roberts, Graham, Sharp (Sanders, Mannagh)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
FWD: Heeney, Flanders, Caldwell, Powell,Reid, Dempsey(Ramsden, Drury)
UTIL: Cadman
Strong team. Agree Rozee and Sanders but it might be a wait to see if either named. Laird Or Butters may go well without Rozee, Your benches a bit weak generally with job security. Could you bring in a Burgoyne type as you can flex some of you backline to mids. Colby M could also swap from Sanders as good scorer and JS good?
Cheers mate, yeh Iāll look at whoās named this week, could possibly hold Rozee if only 1 week but unsure about it. Yeh the other trade I was looking at was cadman to jones and Dempsey/sharp to macrae
Or Cadmen- jones and Sanders- Jas Burgoyne leaving 162k left for next week
Gday all..Which one out of these 3
Cripps
Laird
T.Miller
Cheers
Probably touk tbh
Def:
H.Sheezal, L.Whitfield, N.Martin, H.Young, R.Bonner, S.Clohesy

(H.Barnett)
Fwd:
I.Heeney, S.Flanders, T.Powell, J.Macrae, H.Gallagher, B.Nyuon
(B.Drury, D.Jones, Utility: D.Jones)
My trades are:
A.Cadman -> D.Jones
O.Dempsey -> J.Macrae
Thoughts? Should I maybe trade Powell out this week for Nat Fyfe?
Is James Aish a trap?
Who to bring in?
Can afford any premium although the main ones I am considering are: Merret, Dawson, Green, Gulden.
Any thought on who to get?
Merret has good fixture but I feel is a bit over priced whilst the others are underpriced.
I’m in a similar boat and originally planned on Gulden but decided to go with Dawson based on my future bye structure (I only have 1-2 premiums who have their bye in R15) so i’d recommend looking at your own team and which weeks you’re already stacked up!
Also I dont really think Merrett is overpriced, he’s the most consistent this year, still considering nabbing him down the line tbh!
cant go wrong with gulden or green i don’t reckon
Unsure of who to trade in this week as positions for the ones i want to get do not fit for those who i need to trade out could Williams-Burgoyne and Powell-Baker work even though it seems a bit out there?
What other trades could be an option?
Who is more of a priority, Zorko or Macrae
Fisher to Jones
Sanders to Parish
Thoughts?
Thoughts on what trades to do this week
Got 23k in the bank, what trades should I look at doing this week?
Should I hold rozzee if he is only out for 1 week or trade?
Other trades I was thinking was
Sanders- Mckercher
Cadman- Jones or Rogers
Or what do people think would be good trades to do?
DEF: Sheezel, Whitfield, Martin, Young, Houston,Clohesy (Reid, Howes)
MID: Zerrett, Dawson, Green, Rozee, Bonner, Roberts, Graham, Sharp (Sanders, Mannagh)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
FWD: Heeney, Flanders, Caldwell, Powell,Reid, Dempsey(Ramsden, Drury)
UTIL: Cadman
Or sanders- dale
Dempsey- jones thoughts?
Do I Sell Gallagher Or Cadman This Round
Gallaghers Breakeven 61 and playing hawks
Cadmans Breakeven is 53 and playing swans
Baker or Macrae?
Neither, but if that’s all you can choose, then Maccas
Priority Trade Out:
Powell or Sharp?
Sharp, give powell another week to see if hes in the mids
Going cadman to mckercher and Campbell to wowoodin leaving me $110000 4 next weeks xerri to English currently ranked around 6,000 good idea or not thoughts appreciated
opposite i reckon, sharp got a bit unlucky with a cold wing
Iām doing Powell > d Jones and then I have the option Sanders > anyone (1.05m)
Should I be preparing for byes now or just keep the good players coming in? I have 2 dodgy players, Maynard and Cadman
