Hey Rowsus, would love your opinion on this conundrum. I don't think I'm the only one with it.

O'Brein $102, 400 (Mid)Vs Honeychurch $117,300 (Mid/Fwd)

O'Brien: scored a highly inflated 100 from a half against Carlton in a rare win for Brisbane.
Doubt he'll be sub again for a while?
Mature ager, top possie winner for Brisbane in the NEAFL. (Av 108 DT)

Honeychurch: Been ripping up the VFL (av 85 DT)
Will he ever get a game? Unlikely sub due to Giansicusa putting the vest on each week.
10k more expensive (am cutting it fine with some of my upgrades but I think I'll be fine either way.)

My current set up is

Ablett, Rockcliff, Beams, Watson, Selwood, Murphy, Cotchin, Tyson(Honey (M/F)/O'Brien, Acres)
Danger, Martin, Buddy, Pav, Roughy, Shenton (M/F), (Cameron/Lloyd)

Both downgrades should give me enough $$ to bring Fyfe, Stevie J and Parker in my next 3 trades. So I think Honeychurch is the better option because when my teams completed I will have the swing set open, which decreases the risk of Acres as a loophole.
Obviously if your opinion is that Honey unlikely to get full matches soon then I will go O'Brien.
Thoughts?

Hey McC,
I think it all comes Down to how comfortable you are in your Cash raising ability. If you are comfortable you have enough options, go Honeychurch, if you have any doubts, go O'Brien.
Good luck

Hey bloke,
so sort of an X v Y question.
Buddy + Jaensch versus Walker + Hibberd,
There's really not a lot in it. There are question marks over each combination, but IF one was going to beat the other by a long way, it would be Buddy + Jaensch, so maybe that's the way to go.
Good luck

Hi TMU,
It's an impressive total. Keep in mind 2 things though.
The team value doesn't include Cash in the bank, so it is possible someone has a higher total than you.
Team value doesn't necessarily equate to points. There is a loose correlation, but not a hard and fast one.
I haven't gone through checked if there is one currently higher, as there is no simple way of doing it. I have doubts there is one higher, but I am not ruling it completely out.
Good luck

Juzzo said:

Hey Juzzo,
I can see why you are bit concerned about where your Cash might come from. Even though you missed him last week, why don't you do the KK to Taylor trade, and also do Langdon to Shenton. Yes, you've missed one price rise, but he does look like the best current mony making option. His B/E of -66 is better than what a lot of Rookies achieve on the bubble, and his 100 last week will count for another weeks as well (in his price rises).
Good luck

Rowsus · 5 Jun 2014

Juzzo said:

It is another option, but doesn't generate future Cash. I'd go with Shenton.

Cheers ole bud, much appreciated.

Don't worry too much about bench cover yet. It's better to complete your 22, then see what you can do for better bench cover.

Slammer · 5 Jun 2014

Rowsus said:

Hey Slammer,
no, I am nowhere near sick at looking at your team. I like that you are doing so well.
O'Brien is definitely a risk, if not soon, eventually. The Laidler experience in round 1 showed that a good SC score does not equal good JS. If O'Brien stinks it up this week, he could be gone next week, and then you have a problem.
What if you try this:
Langdon out, Bartel to Def.
Martin/Gray/Danger to Mids.
Franklin in to Fwd line.
It uses one trade to change Langdon to Franklin.
It allows you to wait on O'Brien, and assess his situation next week.
It gives you another week of growth out of Taylor, even though it won't be much.
It allows you to maintain your M/F DPP link, so when you trade Taylor out, you can shift Martin/Gray/Danger back down, leaving Shenton on your Mid bench.
It gets you Buddy (if you want him) before his price rises another $20-$25k.
You may potentially be hard pressed to make a Mid upgrade next week, and may have to go for a double downgrade (Langford and Taylor) then grab a Mid upgrade the week after.
Good luck, I hope you keep climbing the ladder!

ps - if you don't like the double dongrade next week (it may put you one precious week behind), and you are happy to risk O'Brien before the bubble, you can always move Taylor up instead of Martin/Danger/Gray, and then do Taylor to O'Brien, keeping your Shenton link.

Thanks Rowsus
Could another option be Langford (now he is being rested) to Litherland and then Langdon to Franklin??
Not sure if i want Buddys unpredictability or Parker consistency??

Saintellica · 5 Jun 2014

Hi Rowsus,

Thinking of doing a sideways Hmac to Naitanui. Is this a waste of a trade and should I hold fire for now? Hmac has been serviceable but doesn't look like he can go up another gear. Nic Nat if he runs into fitness could make a charge for the rest of the season but... ?

Other issue I have is Langford, was going to hold him for 1 or 2 more weeks for a bit more cash but not selected again. Best I can do if I trade out Langford is $454,000.

Very annoying as this cash was set aside for Tyson to Fyfe in a week or 2.

Any insights would be much appreciated.

cheers

Rowsus · 5 Jun 2014

Slammer said:

Definitely an option, and would also allow you to get Parker, if you are more comfortable with him.
I wonder if Langford really is out this week? Or will lightning strike twice?!

Rowsus · 5 Jun 2014

Sloth said:

thanks rowsus will definitely be picking up nic nat this week.

what's your thoughts on picking up scott selwood as m9. with his 29 score last week will fall to @ $350k in coming weeks. I like to take a punt & see him has a viable option to upgrade buckley too. this year he has been tagging a lot, but with w coast out of finals contention in the later half of year they may release him to find more of the ball as their other midfielders are just stinking it up. can he avg 90 - 100 from here?

the other option was Andrew swallow who has taken a few games to find form but could pick him up also in a few weeks for @$450k. north will hopefully be winning more games, swallow loves the tackle & contested possessions

put simply looking for the a cheap m9 option with limited trades left and see these 2 guys as the best options.

Selwood might be an option, but don't go down that road until your 22 is set. If you can reach Swallow A. he'd be a better option, but not quite in the bargain catagory as far as "cheap" M9's go.

Hey jmack5,
while it might leave you a little exposed for a short period, I think it's best you get the player you want. Unless you think there's not a lot between Goddard and Watson, then if that's the case, take the safer option.
Good luck

Rowsus · 5 Jun 2014

Prochard said:

Hey Pro,
If he's your last, or second last upgrade, and you have that much confidence in him, then he's not too overpriced.
I don't share your confidence in him going that high from here, but I still think he can be useful. Maybe 110-112.

Rowsus · 5 Jun 2014

FirstTimer said:

Hey FT, well done.
It's a good looking team. As the weeks tick by after you reached that team, get a bit of DPP and bench coverage action happening, and you'll be sweet.
Good luck

bloke · 5 Jun 2014

Rowsus said:

Cheers Row, I agree.

I know I'm on this thread a lot bit your advice is top notch

Rowsus · 5 Jun 2014

Saintellica said:

Hi Saint,
I'm not entirely convinced NicNat is back, but against that, this your opportunity to make the change in one trade. I'm also not convinced Langford is out this week, either. We could be looking at a repeat of last week. If you can survive Langford being out this week, and it helps you in the next week or two, just ride him out. Otherwise, without being able to look at your team, it's a bit hard to know what to suggest. Give me the name, and I'll take a look if you want (your "my team" link doesn't work).
Good luck
