Discussion 2024: AFL RDT Dream Team Discussion

[vsberlina]

Would people prioritise Daicos or Day?

Daicos looks like a keeper while Day will make more money and can flick him off in a couple weeks.

Pies supporter here, so Daicos all day, over Day.

I think Daicos is a keeper too, in which case, do you need to make money on Day and then use up a transfer flicking him later?
With so many cash cows, you can't flip them all, so grabbing mid priced players who will likely end as this year's premiums is the way to go IMO.

 

[vsberlina]

Chandler isn't a must but a nice to have. Unless Hopper misses, the issue is finding the cash for Setterfield. I could trade Neale but would rather not downgrade a premium to a high end mid-pricer.

Two more weeks at their avg though, and they'll soon be the same price. It would free up cash for you and let you put out other fires.
If injury prone Callaghan goes for another holiday, he'll need upgrading and currently you don't have too many funds for high scoring options.

I downgraded Docherty to Daicos. Didn't plan on downgrading a premium, but gotta move if things don't go to plan.
Got $340k now to potentially get another premium who is currently mid-priced.

2174 - up to 27th. I'd love to get Setterfield but I think Ziebell/Daicos are more priorities. Toughie, want all 3

Looks like I'll grab all 3 this week which is pleasing.

Means trading out Hopper, will have to try and be more disicplined with trades (after I get Hopper back the week after )

How many trades in RDT these days?

 

[Athomas]

How many trades in RDT these days?

Same format as SC (in basically every way except the scoring format) so 36 (with 5 boosts)

 

[eekraN]

Nice. Trade hard then. 36 trades is just ridiculous but just allows a different strategy.

Yeah the value of trades aren't worth anywhere near what they used to be. Also trading smart/making a late play seems so much harder when sides end up so similar with trades in hand so I feel like it makes sense to trade hard these days.

 

[dylan123]

Also, with Laird captain into Green over the last two weeks, my captain average currently sits at 74.5 this year which is by far the biggest issue I have. I'd love to nail the VC, I think I'll go English however Dunkley could really fire against his old squad...

 

[Hawk41]

I'm tempted to VC Sheezel against Hawthorn.

I'm tempted to VC Sheezel against Hawthorn.

People talk about the possibility of Hall coming in hurting Ziebell but I'm wondering if Sheezel will be the one to suffer? Honestly haven't seen enough to know either way.

 

[vsberlina]

I'm thinking Sheezel then Setterfield if necessary.
Daicos and Oliver with tougher games and I don't want to push my luck given they've delivered for me.

 

[Connoisseur]

Score: 2134
Rd Rank: 550
Overall Rank: 3,053 (from 5,101)

Better showing after 1799 in Round 1 but too many formats to keep track of and forgot to trade Fyfe to Ziebell using a boost.

Current trades:
Out: S Docherty, C Chesser and N Fyfe
In: W Day, W Setterfield and J Ziebell

 

[Dazza]

Looks like I kept Macrae one week too long

 

[Dazza]

Macrae has picked up the pace

 

[Dazza]

4/355

Dunkley, Macrae, Ashcroft and McKenna played

 

[Professor]

Looks like I kept Macrae one week too long

Is Macrae score acceptable? 😉

 

[tso]

3/235

Could loop Baker in if Constable is out

 

[Athomas]

Gotta take 116 Dunkley VC? Think I’ll be conservative and take it. Will still be happy if Oliver goes 120+ (but not 150+!)

 

[THCLT]

It's right in that 50/50 range.
The way I see it is I would generally take anything over 120 and not look back, so really it's not too far off that threshold.

I was playing around with my trades to see what Dunkley OUT could give me as I wanted a combination which involves Daicos without exposing my D6/F6 too much. Couldn't find anything that I liked by giving up on Dunkley so went to hit the reverse button to call it a night and have another look today. Only issue was, the clock had already ticked over to 7:28pm...

 

[Hawk41]

I passed up Taranto's 111 to get Lairds 83.
115 is usually my cut off in this comp, but might need to look at 110 given some of the inconsistency we're seeing.
