Looking for someone to replace Gaz, was going to be Rockliff but then I thought of Sloane
Sloane is an interesting one, only needs 23.3 possessions for his 113ppg. A few hot rounds of 26-27 disposals (not unrealistic) and he potentially reaches 120ppg.

THink he relies on Dangerfield playing to have good games. As long as Danger doesn't get injured he will score well. Doesn't get tagged when Dangerfield is playing.

Thanks for that round by round analysis, it is indeed gonna be hard looping him.
Charlie will most probably return in 2 weeks time anyway so that is quite irrelevant.
I don't quite have any cash to upgrade McGovern though, so that leaves me with 2 options.

Option 1
Downgrade him to Honeychurch and create the perfect swing-set with Shenton in my MID. I get to keep Gaz in this instance.

Option 2
Downgrade Gaz to someone cheaper like JPK/NDS and use that cash to upgrade McGovern to a better F7.

Which would you suggest I do? Only have 4 trades left...
If you want to keep loopholing McGovern you should:

Downgrade Cameron to a cheap Magpie. Collingwood plays Sunday, Sunday, Sunday all after WCE next few weeks.

Only Magpie donut with DPP (Mid/Fwd) is Karnezies $230k if you wanted to keep the swing set.

Otherwise John Marsh $117k, Caolan Mooney $178k or Tim Broomhead $123k are all pure FWD.

Note: Broomhead has played 2 games already this season, recently too, Rounds 13 & 14. So to be bringing him as a donut could be dangerous as he may well get picked again.

That Collingwood player could also be useful if your VC goes big and you don't want to use Pendles as your C.

What are people's thoughts on Marc Murphy? I know many have had him all year, but I don't. If I go with him, I can also upgrade Billings to Parker and use Wingard as fwd/mid cover.

As a Murphy owner I wouldn't. Too up and down and cannot, repeat cannot handle a tag. I would highly recommend Parker trade though.

What about Barlow $547K, super consistent. Only concern is possible resting.

Thoughts appreciated guys.
Ablett will have to go so I'm thinking of going Ablett to dal Santo which would allow me to go hurtung to Mitchell If he scores below 85 the following week. Unfortunately with Goddard out I'm forced to go hurtung to Wingard who will hopefully provide me with adequate cover for fwds/mids. Even though he will avg about 10 less is it worth it as he will cover Goddards zero this week. Unfortunately I will only have two trade left for the remainder of the year. If Mitchell didn't score below 85 I was going to get Marc Murphy instead. Is it better perhaps to go Ablett to swallow and get Mitchell as cover instead?
A small concern with bringing in Mitchell is that you only have M/D premiums not rookies so i'm not sure the points on ground gained per week is gonna make it worthwhile. Even bringing in Wingard doesn't seem a priority although i do understand it's to gain points this week as well as provide season long cover (whcih i dont hate) but trades in hand are a bit of a worry for mine. Are you focusing more on league or overall?

With all the talk of who should we trade GAJ to I'm going to hold him for one week.
Rockliff is prob the only one i dont have that i would put in, in his place.
Why did rockliff have to go get suspended this weeks of all weeks.
oh well better to be out this week than the week after i bring him in.
Welcome to the field finally Anthony Miles ive had your tons on the bench depressing
me for the amount of time ive had you lad. Now its time to be useful. Another please!
Like it mate. Reckon Rockliff now becomes a bit of a POD as alot of teams would've gone Gaz to Rockliff if he wasnt out suspended.

My Current Mids:
GAJ, Pendles, Fyfe, JPK, Beams, Selwood, NDS, SJ (Shenton M/F, O'Brien)

Clearly GAJ will be a problem and will have to trade if he misses 3+ weeks. But I like to see GAJ being out as a solution to another I hope. Originally I was going to go Shenton to Hunt and Tippett to Mitchell but with the GAJ injury, it has forced me to waste another trade so with limited trades I have devised a cunning plan which will need a lot of help from the SC Gods. My aim is to afford Sam Mitchell in round 18 or round 19 and create a DPP link by going Zac O'Brien to J Hunt. This would also allow me to keep Shenton as a M/F link which I think will be crucial for the last few weeks as Shenton has been a decent scorer so would love to keep Shenton if possible.

FUTURE TRADES:
Rd 18 or Rd 19
O'Brien to J Hunt
Tippett to S Mitchell

Basically for my future trades to work, the stars really need to align for me.
- Sam Mitchell really needs a poor game this week &/or next week
- I really need Zac O'Brien to play this week or next week and get anything above his B/E of 4. Even being the sub and getting a few points would help.

THIS WEEK:
Remaining Salary $86,800
So this week GAJ to one of these 3 options:

Option 1: Cotchin $540,700
If I get Cotchin, need Mitchell to drop to $422,600 next week to afford Tippett to Sam Mitchell with the one trade.
PROS: His monster scores in the last fortnight. Cheapest of the 3
CONS: Could revert back to his below 100 point per games.

Option 2: Barlow $547,000
If I pick Barlow, need Sam Mitchell to drop to $416,300 next week to afford Tippett to Sam Mitchell with the one trade.
PROS: Ultra POD. Good finals draw. The most consistent of the 3.
CONS: Most likely to get Rossed. Will become my 3rd pair of midfielders of the same team (others being Pendle/Beams, Sel/SJ, Fyfe/Barlow)

Option 3: Liberatore $562,900
It's tight... but I would need Sam Mitchell to drop to $400,400 next week or even the week after to afford Tippett to Sam Mitchell with the one trade.
PROS: Has the highest ceiling. Good finals draw.
CONS: Risk of the hard tag if Griffen misses and might get the odd low score.

Of the three options, I like option 3 best as Liberatore has such a good draw for finals and would love a high ceiling player like him to replace GAJ, but I can't see Sam Mitchell getting to 400k without a lot of help. I am happy enough with Barlow as he was one of my options a few weeks back but with Freo playing the last game of the week, there could be some carnage and also having a 3rd pair of midfielders in the same team on the one line could somehow backfire on me. Cotchin, I still have a few question marks on him but it's pretty hard to ignore his last 2 weeks. Here's to hoping ZOB gets named and Sam Mitchell not to go too crazy this week.
I'm with ya, Libba without a doubt. Cotchin while he has been goood of late, let's not forget the other weeks when he's been less good :p

Barlow is good but my concern is restings. If he doesn't get rested, he'd be not far behind Libba imo.

Like many others I am in a tough spot with Trades. I am sitting on the top of my league ladder which is all I care about winning so I think I am going to take some short term pain to set myself up for the finals with not trading Ablett this week even though I have Rocky as well.

This week I am going to go Ambrose to Honeychurch and Hooker to Bartell.
Next week I will trade Ablett out for someone yet to be decided (I have Rocky, Fyfe, Pendles and Libba) and Litherland for Mitchell.

Unfortunately I will only have 2 trades left then but it's got to be done.
I find it interesting you're prioritising Hooker to Bartel over Ablett to midfielder (especially with Rockliff in your squad) this week. I haven't checked break evens etc but i'd almost always try to avoid the midfield donut instead of semi upgrading. I dont think it makes a big difference either way, just found it interesting.


Thanks for that round by round analysis, it is indeed gonna be hard looping him.
Charlie will most probably return in 2 weeks time anyway so that is quite irrelevant.
I don't quite have any cash to upgrade McGovern though, so that leaves me with 2 options.

Option 2
Downgrade Gaz to someone cheaper like JPK/NDS and use that cash to upgrade McGovern to a better F7.

Which would you suggest I do? Only have 4 trades left...
Option 2 for me but i'd be holding the trade/McGovern and holding the 3 trades. As long as he's playing that would be enough for me. If you were starting him or lopping him that would be a different story though:)

Does anyone think it is a silly move bringing Mitchell in for Shenton as M9? Is it a waste of money? Adds cover to both midfield and defense if needed. (was planning on making this trade in 2 weeks time when hopefully Sammy drops to 400k) - have Hodge, Bartel Swallow and McVeigh that can switch into Mids to change with him. Only have Litherland as forward cover though.

OR

Should I concentrate on Switching out S.Martin and Pavlich for Harvy and Parker - and keep Shenton for the MF cover? - if I'm able to get both, i'll have Parker Harvey Dangerfield Gray D.Martin that can switch with MF switch that can switch with Shenton if needed. Only have Impey as backline cover though
How many trades left mate? Without a rookie link i don't like the idea of bringing in Mitchell as you're kinda depending on one of your premiums to miss to make it worth it. With Leuey back i'd be waiting to see how that affects Martin as he's scoring quite well at the moment.

Thoughts on Daniel McStray from the Lions, DEF??? :confused:

$117K and whilst I don't think he'll score too great will at least be some DEF cover for me. Was he the starting sub in his first game??

Thinking maybe the double downgrade this week now that Rockliff is out and his price wound change.

McGovern ----> Honeychurch
O'Brien/Shenton ----> McStray (via Hunt DPP)

Creating a decent amount of funds to hopefully go Shenton to Rockliff. Then again everything depends on what this specialist has to say about Gazza.
How many trades left GG? Is this plan in the scenario you keep Gaz?

Tricky one. Looking at your team I think you need one more top ender like Rock/JPK/Fyfe who i consider to be 5-10ppg better than Murphy but with the additional trades, it might just be worth it if you've given up on Wingard as a starter.

I actually don't think he'd be rested.... missed like 6-7 rounds and hasn't been back that long. With a Bye coming... he's body should be right to play every game. Well... Here's Hoping

Only 3 left IDIG.

I thought the same... Maybe I'll just try to bring in Kennedy into my midfield, Parker and Harvey into my forward line.

Thanks man

I'm preparing for the worst on the Gazza front. I actually think it could help me improve my ranking if he misses the rest of the season. But that means I need a trade in.

JPK vs Ward?

Hi mate, currently have 8 trades and $18,200 in the bank.
This scenario does see me keep Ablett, but depending on what comes of his meeting with a specialist that may have to change.

Thanks for the feedback IDIG.
McGovern is technically my F7 and will only play on field if one of my main FWD is out, eg. Pav last week.
Who do you think I should trade Gaz to if that's the case?

Hi Guys and Girls,

I would apprecaite some advice on my options for this week.

I have 5 trades and $218,200 in bank.

I have decided that GAJ will probably need to be traded out either this week or next so the way I see it these are my options:

Option 1.

Ablett to JPK and Shenton to Sloane (leaveing $59,500 in cash and 3 trades)

Dangerfield goes to forwards with Martin/Wingard in F6 and F7, Taylor becomes M9.

Option 2.

What are peoples thoughts on Birchall, he has had two poor weeks in a row (and due to drop another $40k to around $360k) this may be the last oppurtunity to fix him.

Birchall to Bartel and Ablett to SJ

(leaves 3 trades and $259k to make one more trade of Shenton to JPK or other mid >588k next week. Leaving 2 trades for injuries and Martin/Wingard as F6 and F7 and Taylor as M9)

What are others peoples thoughts and do you see any other options which suit my team.

Cheers in advace :confused::confused::confused:

If you can hold from getting Kennedy for a week then I definitely would do that. Due to drop quite significantly.

With that said, I'd choose option 2. I like SJ and Bartel is a gun - Birchall is a liability now so get him out.

Libba vs Parker? Libba will almost guaranteed net me higher points, Parker will let me swing MID>FWD, covering for the inevitable SJ/Selwood/Fyfe rest.

Thanks in advance :)

Karnezis a chance for games if he keeps on the field. Kicked 4 in the magoos last week. Second forward role is there for the taking although Reid will be ahead of him and will play second match in the reserves this week after a half last week.
Broomhead was best of the listed players in the magoos and must be a chance for action in the next 2 weeks if you wish to avoid that situation. Pies rate him.
Mooney no chance of getting a game.

What's not to like about Option 1?
Two highly rated players in and mids sorted.
