Via Dacios into mids...just not sure how to get him back into DEF after this round, especially with Schoenmakers a likely trade target in Round 16. No other DEF/MID DPP in my team after having so many after round 6.

i.e.

Ryan, Sheezel, Houston, Dale, Sexton, Worner (Reid+, Blight)

Bont, Serong, Butters, Zerrett, Dawson, Walsh, Rowell, Green (Daicos, Dowling, Mannagh )

Gawn, Grundy (Livingstone)

Flanders, Heeney, Zorko, Fisher, Jackson, Moore (Freijah, W. Dawson+)

I'm an idiot...worked out I could swing Freijah into mids, Sexton to fwd, then bring in Worner for Steele

Team:
Ryan, Daicos, Sheezel, Sinclair, Dale, NWM (Dawson/Reid)
Bont, Butters, LDU, Gulden, Dawson, Walsh, Green, Sullivan (Freijah/Dowling/Mannagh)
Gawn, English (Livingstone)
Flanders, Heeney, Zorko, Fisher, Jackson, Sexton (Richards, Jones)
7 trades. $10.3K ITB. 14 playing this week.

Option 1:
Sullivan -> Rowell (or any other mid sub his price).
Freijah -> Carrol
J Richards -> Hutchinson

$0 ITB and 4 trades left. Team would be completed with query over Sexton at F6. Also have no real remaining cash gen opportunities with the exception of Dowling on the bench.

Option 2:
Sullivan -> Rozee
Freijah -> Worner (via Daicos switching into Mids)

5 trades and 5.3k ITB remaining for injury cover.

Have gone for:
Sullivan -> Merrett
Freijah -> 102k DEF/MID
NWM -> McKercher
44.5K ITB and 4 trades left. Gives me 16 playing this week. Will assess McKercher's performance on whether he is a keeper or just a cash cow. Completes team with exception of Sexton at F6 to review after this week.

Obviously if McKercher is not back in, will need to reassess (likely option 2 however don't like the idea of Rozee as a M8 in a midfield that also has Green).

Was all set to go just Steele > Merrett but decided to see other possibilities also. Steele plays 8 of his last 9 games at home/Marvel

Have just enough cash to do this :-




Which would leave me like this :-



Only 4 trades left.

Merrett & Houston are both 6 for their respective positions whilst Oliver & Stewart aren't so it is very tempting. Having both Oliver & Green at M7 & M8 isn't appealing, think Steele with than run of home games will score better than both. Other obvious issue is it leaves Sexton at F6 with Powell returning so not sure how much that will hurt him.

I was going to save the cash to have a look this week first before deciding if I need to Rankine in for Sexton next week so in a bit of a conundrum

 

[WizzFizz]

out of all the poor scoring mids like Miller Rowell Green Dawson Steele etc, steele would have to be the first to go with ross likely moving him out of the mids given how strong saints were without him.

Dawson surely is a chance for fwd dpp and the others are still playing the inside mid role. Green could just turn it on and go r0-3 given hes just playing bad as opposed to being out of position?

 

[Bombers2win]

At this stage Comben>Worner Sullivan>Ridley Freijah>Curnow giving me effectively Macrae at F7 and Stewart D7 both killing me each week but need coverage with 9rds to go, have 6 trades left and still need a M8/9 targeting Walsh/Laird with Rozee as M9.

Steele plays 8 of his last 9 games at home/Marvel

He's been in my trade plans after being utterly awful, but I saw he had 39% CBAs this week? That's the lowest he's had in any game over the last 4 years. What is Ross doing?

Actually went to Zorko in last quarter

 

[ScottishBomber]

Sullivan > Worner via Daicos to the mids for 1 week. Gives me 19 before any selection drama.

Hopefully Draper > Schoenmaker and Thomas/Freijah to a mid premo, likely Merrett, to finish my team next week.

Wondering if Ross wants to give the likes of Dow/Henry/Clark more time in there with Windhager tagging the opposition's best mid. Steele being sent to half fwd to tag Zorko was a real concern, certainly didn't expect that to happen.

Considering how they came back from the moves he'd be an idiot to not have another look at it.

Anyone looking at Adams as a F6/M9?

Pretty sure Steele was sent forward as being tagged by Berry, having limited impact. Hopefully the trend doesn't continue.

[Connoisseur]

Green could just turn it on and go r0-3 given hes just playing bad as opposed to being out of position?

Not necessarily playing bad as it depends on what benchmark is set, as we should be accustomed by now to him being a high volume handball happy midfielder who is a poor ball user by foot and who doesn’t contribute enough in other areas.

 

[NT.Thunder]

just how bad are the Forwards!

Doing my head in and really can only see Rankine being worth the trade after his bye.

Are there any potential DPP changes worth waiting for?

 

[Zim^zuM]

So far I've gone powell/Sullivan to Curnow/Merrett.

Leaves me with 8 trades and 146k

Sexton D7
Oliver/Green/Miller M7-9
Freijah F6

Have not planned that, but having traded Macrae to Simpkin, then to Kreuger it left me with cash.

Can trade Freijah to Shoenmaker and Sexton to Rankine next week. Leaving me with 6 trades.

Am I better off Sideways trading one of those M7-9 to merrett. And maybe brings Adams in as a floating M9/F7? That would leave me 300k and possibly keep Sexton too.

I think I'm in a similar spot and don't have as good of depth as you do.

I'm tempted to go Merrett's class over depth.

 

[Santoz]

Is it worth going down to 3 trades left this far out?

Are you sure you should be trading at all?
looks like only 13 playing for round 15 prior to trades…
Still 9 rounds to go after this upcoming round…. Can see plenty of carnage on the way home where teams will lose plenty of points wearing donuts potentially …
