[TommyGobbler]

Most logical option for me is:

Kozi > Madden
Scott > Weightman
Build a bank for bye rounds.

However I'm tempted to do:

Warner > Madden
Daniher > Bont
To try to make up for the Oliver miss last week.

In saying that I think my only chance of winning overall is if Bont & Oliver don't sustain their current averages so might just fade them and hope for a miracle.

 

[jaca]

What do people think of Titch? Still seems good value for his pedigree and scoring potential. Like his bye too.

 

[BomberSam]

Has anything led to Cunnington's scoring or is it just a purple patch? No ton in his first four games. Since then he has gone 145, 66, 134, 142. Absolutely massive ceiling.

He's a contested beast and the main guy in the middle at North. Not surprised to see him scoring the way he is.

The 66 amongst the big scores sums him up though - he will frustrate you with his low floor/odd poor score.

 

[whydoihavetoo]

Thinking i'm going to take a punt on Heeney - as a forward if he can average 85-90 for 340k~ as an F6 then I think that is a solid win. Injury risk the obvious downside but I think i need some value in the forwards so I can reach to Bont/Lyons/Steele as the 3 to finish my midfield.

Definitely has the contested game to score well. probably over back injury finally.

POD for sure.

 

[BarginHunter]

Agreed. I thought he played considerably better than his SC score indicates, couldn't believe he only had 33, felt like a strong 70 game watching it without scores with some really good marks, a goal and just felt like he had influence late. Was a weird game with a lot of bad ratios.




Physically he looked fine.



Disagree a bit here, he isn't going to play midfield this year and Horse/Heeney have been pretty clear about that in all their media but he is playing a better role as a HF and is pushing through the midfield a lot more over the last two weeks. He will score better than his price if he stays fit but I don't think he can go much past 95 as a best case and probably more likely mid to high 80s (weekend a very typical game for him). Not a bad pick but there are quite probably better ones given his injury risk.

Would he still be a good upgrade from Scott? id say that 85+ is a good investment, just depends on durability i guess??

 

[BarginHunter]

Are Cunnington, Hall, and Ziebell too many players? Already got the last 2 but wondering if it's too much to gamble on?

I mean this is also me, the guy who has Gawn, Oliver, Jordon, and May

 

[inwhiterooms]

I feel like my midfield is screaming out for another big dog, with the fraudet of Titch/Trac/Taranto/Cripps not filling me with much confidence each week (treated me very well last round though).

Any thoughts? Need a big score from Cameron to settle my nerves on that pick. He's gone 59, 73 for me so far.

 

[Herbie66]

McNeil - > Cerra

Leaves

L Jones
Jordon
...
Warner , Rowe

Will hold Jordon & Warner and try and get them to 2 of Adams (?) / Duncan / Neale / Steele eventually

Hopefully L Jones fattens up , Rowe maybe to Sidebottom eventually.

Byrnes , Flynn , McCreery & Poulter hopefully keep playing and making $$$.

Flynn - > Reeves possibly in Round 13

Fullarton , Fyfe , Highmore & Mansell dead at the moment but 13 rounds to go so maybe they return

Second guessing Cerra now , certainly have been keen on him all week , but now thinking with 13 rounds to go am I possibly "locking" in another season long player who could be in that 85-90 range , especially as I also still have Cripps.

Also have Daniel , May , Hall in that category as well.

Might be better off going Heeney instead (fingers crossed) and then trying to get all 3 of Duncan , Neale & Steele in my mids.

Who knows maybe another premium medium punches out a low score in the next few rounds which causes their price to plummet.

Unfortunately can't get any of the $ 575k + ultra premiums

Keen to see Haynes this week and see if he can become a D6 value option (Jones didn't inspire me at all yesterday)

Will give Cerra a lot more thought before Friday.

I guess from now on 90 per game to 110 per game is only a 240 point difference for the rest of the season.

Cerra is a stud who should average 100+ but I reckon he's about where Walsh/McCluggage were last year, so that 105 kind of ceiling. Probably good enough at his price if you're not carrying a Taranto/Kelly level scorer already filling that M7/8 type spot. I think he's fantastic value with the one freak type of injury his only knock durability wise to date.

I do think he can push higher on that average if the Dockers outperform expectations as well, he's got the kind of class that can lead to a lot of extra points. He's very high on my starting pick targets for next year list, although would depend greatly on where (club) he's playing obviously.

Daniel, May and Hall are all fine picks for mine and I wouldn't be worrying about any of them as weak spots. (Hall's durability is a concern but only if it happens!)

Just over (complicating) thinking things again and need to stop reading about what other coaches are doing and just keep my expectations real for my SC team.

Will have another look in.a few days time again.

 

[Bontempele]

Some very interesting trade in options this week:

D: Final defence spot is tricky! Ridley is a bargain, probably slightly ahead of Whitfield given Whitfield's interrupted pre-season. Lloyd is fantastic value as well though, and is uber reliable.

F: Bailey Dale is an interesting one - good value given his recent scoring, but I might hold out for Dangerfield and leave one free spot for a random later on. Hall is also still reasonable value but I've been burnt by him too many times before!

M: Bont is probably overpriced now so will wait for him to get tagged (likewise Lyons). Merrett is good value, although I'm not sure if 108 average is enough, and his breakeven is still high. Would like to see a few more good weeks from Trac before snapping him up, and Guthrie was under a slight injury cloud.

So I'm leaning towards going for Ridley/Lloyd!

He was severely lacking match practice at the start of the season and is in much better shape now. Has historically struggled with the tag, but I don't think too many teams will be trying to tag against North this season. Still, there are probably better options out there in Merrett and Petracca for not too much more, without the same injury/fitness risk.

Always throw out all the crazy ideas and then see what the feedback sounds like.

Something like Aaron Hall 3 weeks ago might have felt "crazy" but once you actually pieced it all together it was a great trade to make.

I think Cerra presents a very interesting proposition for specific teams. My team for example if I took Cerra I'd almost certainly have the trades and cash to then be able to upgrade Taranto to say Neale as a luxury move. (Shame about Taranto's bye, will definitely factor that in to the value M8 type play next time).

I think right now the most important factor should be the byes and how you're looking. I'm personally in pretty big trouble for the first two byes, will be very lucky to field 18 I think at this point (couple of rookies back to add 30 points never sounded better). Hence I've personally cut my list down to just round 14 targets right now. Naturally this is being crushed by the rookie targets this round with the clear standout being in my worst bye!

Essentially I am trying to find something to upgrade McNeil to without spending all my bank in one go as I still have to fix Jones , Jordon , Rowe & Warner as well.

Have Laird & Martin sitting in my mids at the moment which is confusing me as well.

Looking into whether Haynes could work at D6 (from a cheapish upgrade from Highmore/Mansell) possibly.

No idea what is on the rookie midfield horizon over the next few weeks when Byrnes & Poulter have peaked in price.

Still piggy back Flynn & Mumford so hoping Reeves backs up next round otherwise it might be Treacy in.

So possibly McNeil - > Cerra (or Heeney via Zorko)

Then sit tight for a few rounds and see what happens to Duncan , Neale , Steele or next rung down in Adams , Parker , Petracca types.

Cerra goes 100+ for the next 12 rounds is probably a good result.

As always lots of different ideas/thoughts

Thank god Heath Shaw allowed us to reverse trades during the week 😀

Cerra vs Heeney a tough call to be honest. Heeney is closer to the pack most likely but Cerra should be 15ppg better with significantly higher durability, so is probably better value.

Probably comes down to how many of those Taranto and Daniher types you're holding that are likely going to be in the final side at this point.

No laughing now

Current mids are :-

Macrae , Merrett , Boak , Cripps
Laird & Martin hopefully swing
Jordon , Poulter / McNeil , Byrnes , Fyfe 🍩

Current forwards are :

Hall , Impey , Ziebell , Zorko
Rowe , Warner / Fullarton , McCreery

probably could do :-

McNeil - > Cerra
Warner - > Heeney

and then ignore all the Heeney posts for the remaining 13 rounds 😀

That then means Rowe - > Duncan (via Martin) Round 14/15.
Jordon - > ???

Then try and move Laird back to defence possibly.
