Few Players i want. Zieball i will need to pass on due to FWD line structure. KInd of hoping Hall gets named this week. (Sorry)

Thinking Darcy to English - Chesser to Chandler via DPP

With the salem news i am thinking Chandler keeps that bench spot even when Kozzie returns. Has looked real good first 2 rounds.

OR

Darcy /Cameron - Callaghan /Setters - Chesser/Chandler

Darcy makes me nevious and after 2 games just looks off pace and then you have the Jackson. Just not working well together.

Really want English and Setters but can only get one.

I'd put 5 bucks on Cox getting the number 1 role in rounds 4 and 23 (Big O), 11 (Goldy), 13 (Grundy), 16 (Witts), 17 (English - maybe a role share) and 18 (Hodor). All of those guys would slaughter Cameron in the ruck but Coxy goes ok against them.

110 could still happen but I'd temper the expectation a bit. That's 7 games he's likely to be playing forward where he ranges from spuddish to inconsistent.

Edit: The Sam Draper games (rounds 6 and 24) might also see Cox spend more time on ball too. Cox does better than Cameron against the physical types usually
Yes, sound analysis but you can swing Cameron FWD around the byes when Max is a juicy price. I would take 100 avg from Cameron for the rest of the Year.

English, just a better all round player this year, injury is a concern but those 150 games are on the horizon. Could Ryan (Tigers) act as cover moving forward from round 5.?

Doesnt he look good. Back where he belongs, just surpreme awareness and skills.
Players like Pendles are so good to watch. I always remember watching James Hird he was the same. They seem to find time and a bit of space and don't rush their disposals A mixture of skill and experience?

Hmmm.

I have J Macrae, A Brayshaw, S Docerty and B Grundy underperforming but I don't think I will trade any of them?

N Fyfe to J Ziebell (Hopefully Ziebell can be a keeper but I'm doubtfull. Didn't jump on hot players last year and it cost me.)
O Allen to K Chandler ($ grab for last trade)
L Jones DPP to W Setterfield (Reasoning same as Ziebell)

Leaves me light down back but it gets me 3 of the biggest price rise players.

Am I missing anything?
Anyone keen to give me their 5 cents?

Gawn > English/Witts/Cameron - Pick one basically, there's some considerations on other trades based on these.

Neale > LDU - Had enough of Neale's crap, dropping 100k while LDU goes up similar and I just like LDU.

Chesser >

Daicos - At my rank don't really think playing the same game works, he'd be the go if I wasn't going so disastrously though and chasing tail.
Chandler - Cash generation but doesn't help on field.
Setters - Balances on field help with cash generation.

Struggling with the trades this week to be honest.
I am having the same coversation with Laird to LDU. Hold or consider the Trade.

Still have the delusion i can crack the top 1000.

Lots of different paths coaches can take this week. My Current Rank is 40k and i think i need to take a risk.?

Current Line up 3 trades used RD1

No real issues, not ideal to have a bad score in round 2 but he had 4 games under 90 last year (3 70s), he'll cancel them out with a couple of big scores.

He had probably a dozen times in the game his teammates could have gone him and they generally do. Basically he looked fine and scored badly.

On my list of problems right now, he's just about at the bottom of the list. Congratulations if he's near the top of yours :)




The only missing factor in this is the on-field aspect. If comparing say Chandler and Setterfield, one is producing very good on-field scoring and has a role that's likely to continue to do so while Chandler has quite possibly put up his two best scores.

If cash gen is the only factor then the Chandler type is a better play, if on field scoring is a factor, and it likely is at round 3, then that factor is definitely worth considering.

Basically it comes down to whether getting say 30 points on field is worth more than the extra 50-100k that the rookie is likely to make. Really depends on how long you're going to be fielding them for this.
There's also the factor of the extra cash saved by choosing a rookie over a midpricer. There's an extra 200k you can spend on field to recoup those points.

Plenty of opportunities to trade/not trade this week.

Can go for a fairly conservative trade of Chesser to Hollands/Phillipou, and Ridley to Sicily/Sinclair.

Would love to hear other suggestions, leaning towards keeping Darcy (should bounce back this week).

Any rookies that are necessary? Thanks!

Yeah, get Chesser off field pronto! :)

/jk, I get that you're looping Wilmot

It will look a bit better once you get Setterfield off the bench but that raises teh question about sending Mackenzie to the bench while you still have 2 of of Constable, Wilmot, Cowan and Chesser on field down back.

It would make you more cookie cutter, but I'd seriously consider McKenna to sure up that defensive line a bit

LDU is an important pickup, that's true. Could be the last time we see him under 600k for a while if he is finally breaking out. But what about your rookies?

Your M8 and F6 will be doing you more damage at the moment than the difference between Laird and LDU. Not only that, but correcting those rookies will easily make you more money over the coming 6 weeks.

You have slow burners on the bench on every line in Cowan, Baker, maybe Davey, and Greene along with Cesser onfield. Wilmot looks to be going at a decent clip and we can assume that Constable keeps his gig and goes at 65 to 70 for a while yet so they're ok. Long looks ot have started great and if he can keep that 60 average up from 117k, will be one of the better rookies to have. Same with Caminiti who only needs 50-odd but provides you with bloody shaky coverage if required.

Is it really your top end that you should be looking at? (And should I be looking at bringing in Long instead of Ziebell and Setterfield)

Anyway... there's 2 ways to solve your lack of LDU. Either get him now while he's cheap or pay maybe 100k more for him in a month or two, by which stage, better rookies might have made you an extra 150k. Laird v LDU doesn't seem like a big difference. Might even be a step down in points for all we know. Chandler/Phillipou/Hollands or any of the performing midpricers vs some of your bench there does.

First of all thank you.

Second I was considering leaving the defence weak for 1 round with a view to bring Bowes in next round.

This is my team - have 118k in the bank.

My desire is to get rid of Dale - potentially to Ryan. Have the cash to do these trades though:

Jones to McKenna
Mackenzie to Setterfield

Is this trading for the sake of it? Relatively happy with my team TBH, which worries me! View attachment 54644
Now thinking I'm going to go all out and either make or break my season:
Dale, McVee and Chesser to Darcy Cameron, McKenna and Bowes via DPP. Puts Dunkley in the mids, leaves me with Bowes at D2... but also takes me from 1 underperforming premium and 2 stagnant rookies to a bloke that could easily be a top 6 forward, an excellent stepping stone and a "rookie" that'll make a fair bit of cash.

You're trading into Daicos and LDU with the mindset that they will be top 6/8 of their line premiums who still have some value now and not for cash gen I would have thought.
I'm not talking about cash generation though. I'm talking about how cheaply you can get all 3

I'm very conflicted on darcy. I watched the first half of freo v north. Darcy was terrible and everything he touched went wrong. I actually don't think he got a fair chance at most of the centre bounces. The ball literally never bounced properly, so he never got in position to get a hitout. Hopefully they fix the centre square!?

So you are trading him

I wouldn’t be trading JHF the week after you just got him.

BE of 17, at home this week v Adelaide- surely give another week at least.
Yes I think JHF can score some big scores playing at home this year.
He could still potentially be a top 6 forward.
