I think everyone is right on this one, issue is one of timeframe!!!!

I love Hayes and played him on field for Preuss out. If Preuss back, then Hayes will go to fwd line and via DPP try to move a mid off the field like JHF to ensure Hayes onfield.

However, Ryder is back next week and there is every chance Hayes could be dropped (my view may be contra, last time I looked I am not the Saints coach).

That means playing Rosas, Dixon or Durdin. Dixon could be gone as well with Oscar Allen in the side. At least Durdin plays North that week, however, I wouldn't be playing any of these guys on field vs Brodie/Xerri/Martin who others may have at F6. People are trading out JHF who has 74 average.

Just some balance hopefully to the discussion.
Agree with you there, think we have one more good week from Hayes and then he will be out for Ryder…

will come back across the year but won’t get an extended run…may be one of the rookies we keep for floating donut, or have to sell off early …

Need to replace hall and resolved to not go another round hoping berry’s shoulder remains in its socket.

Feels like I am shuffling the deck chairs but first iteration of trades looks like this:

Grundy/hall/Berry > preuss/Stewart/steele

Preuss goes to r2 and Hayes to f6

Hall out, Preuss in, seems an obvious first step considering injuries and the targets this week.

Leaves me Rowell out and potentially JHF out to two premium mids for $1,171,400 between the two. I'm open for suggestions?
Could consider going with Miller (592.k) + Petracca (575.9k)

Miller seems good value considering his upside, and Petracca plays Richmond, Hawthorn, St Kilda and North Melbourne in the next four matches. He's more than capable of averaging 120+ over that period.

Durdin to Preuss worth it, not so sure. Would mean using a boost and just sitting him at R. 3 as a money maker and cover. Currently Hayes at R.3, English F.1, Gawn and Grundy.
Could be a quick 250k you're thumbing your nose at if he keeps tonning up, and he certainly has the ability to do so. Will also hit 150k in three weeks if you're looking at the more conservative target.

If Preuss actually sticks and can stop getting himself rubbed out then you might even be able to shift him to F2, bring in a DPP rookie (ICR if needs be) and have Gawn / English at floating between F1/F2 and R1/R2 (if Gawn makes it to 35% forward time) while the bye rounds sort themselves out... o_O

Not sure what to do this week.

Think my biggest issue I want to address is having to play Gibcus/McCartin/De Koning at D6 when I have better rookies on the bench on other lines. If I can somehow manufacture something to swing Daicos into defense, would be much better balanced.

Thinking Rowell and JHF probably the ones that need to go, appear to be the weakest links at this stage.

Rowell > Preuss (via Martin to mids and Dixon to FWD)
JHF > Rosas

These would be preferred trades I think, but don't help my defense.

Can anyone see a way I can swing this to get Daicos in the backline?
Found myself in a similar situation.
What i did is trade SDK out.
Then swing Daicos to Def, then Martin to Mid.
Bring in a random rookie as a Fwd and save.
Now trade random rookie back to SDK (who is now Fwd) and now your back to having 30 trades

It's a bit of mucking about but it's the way the system works.

Weird year. A lot of mad suggestions in this thread.
I have a lot of slow burners that you would normally just sit on. Problem is there aren't any cheap cash cows that have had their obvious spike and the expensive cash cows and mid pricers are "almost" keepers.
The two most prime candidates in my team are Rowell and JHF but I can't help thinking they'll punish me! Same as any of the slow burners.
I'm surprised people are suggesting 3 trades this week. I don't see a must have cash cow and there are premiums who've dropped in value that will still be value for a few weeks.
Probably Rowell and JHF to Preuss and Freoshaw.

Cheers guys

I need a player under 465k

Replaces Erasmus and due to dpp can go anywhere (Defender preferred)
Lipinski, Gresham and Luke McDonald are my favourites <465 this week. LMac the riskiest, but mmmm if you can get a d6ish keeper for just 375k that's a tasty ticket. I think he can do 95+ from here, particularly with Ziebell forward and no Hall.

For my team, I have 370k to blow and I want some big dogs. Tossing up:

A) Ridley to Macrae, Rowell to English
B) JHF to Rosas, McCartin to Steele, Rowell to Petracca

They both leave not much cash left. Or if I did A + JHF-Rosas I could probably afford Dixon/JHayes to SHayes/Oliver next week.

Looking for some commentary on the way forward from here.
Currently just outside the top 5000, so better than most years but down from #97 after round 3.
A couple of background items.
* I have been running with a value/mid-pricer strategy
* Also been trading aggressively so far (26 left after R5) in pursuit of corrections & cash-generation
* To some extent that has worked as I have a high team value of just over $12.5M incl $263K ITB.

I am committed to at least 1 trade this week - Rowell out for Bazlenka & this is what my team will look like then.

IMO I don't have any obvious weak-spots.
20/22 of my on-field brigade have already tonned up this season and my bench are all generating cash strongly.
I hopefully have Cripps & Pruess back this week & can expect Grundy to do way better. With the Rowell upgrade thrown in you would think I'd be able to improve on this week's score of 2202.
But do I go for more? ie do I use my cash advantage now in attempt to regain that lost ground?
If I go Dow --> Rosas, I then have enough cash to upgrade Caldwell to a premo - even though he still has a bit of cash to make.
Targets would be Steele, Touk, Oliver or Mitchell.
I has initially favoured Touk but @wogitalia suggesting he was playing injured has made me uncertain.

Anyway thoughts on whether to be aggressive or not - if so who to bring in for Caldwell?
It's an amazing team value, so congratulations on that. It's possibly the highest in all of SC so far this season.
The glaringly obvious problem is that your bench is over funded. $2,203,500 sitting on your bench, that produced 503 points + a DNP. No real loop options either. It's time to get picky, and start thinning the heard. While it's been great for your cash gen, having so many (9?) players that started in that high $200's to low $400's price range, it means the real value points/dollars players have been forced to your bench. It also means you are probably 1 or 2 genuine Prems down on where you should be. Let's do a simple exercise, and multiply some of those low Midpriced players by averages by $5,000, and you get an idea of if they are still producing value for money in your team.

Rioli - $432,800 - ave 90.8 x 5,000 = $454,000 ($21,200 still to make) scores: 71, 111, 107, 101, 64 - BE 85
McInerney - $427,700 - ave 91.7 x 5,000 = $458,500 ($30,800) scores: 54, DNP, DNP, 134, 84 - BE 27
Blakey - $384,900 - ave 83.0 x 5,000 = $415,000 ($30,100) scores: 98, 79, 96, 70, 72 - BE 81
Caldwell - $367,000 - ave 85.6 x 5,000 = $428,000 ($61,000) scores: 91, 90, 81, 87, 79 - BE 46
Newcombe - $347,700 - ave 85.6 x 5,000 = $428,000 ($73,300) scores: 119, 68, 78, 66, 97 - BE 38

Of those, the most immediate one that needs cropping would appear to be Blakey, but I'd be keeping a close eye on the others.
Blakey out, Daicos up. It get's Daicos on the ground, who is outscoring Blakey anyway, and frees up $384,900.
I think you need to continue that sort of process, and get rid of the Midpricers, that aren't scoring at good Keeper level, and have seemingly maxed out their value, or nearly maxed it out.

Don't mind me but just talking myself into Rory Laird over here.

Since his move into the midfield in round 9 of 2020 he has averaged 116.94

Missed only the two games in this period, rounds 1 and 2 this year, due to a broken hand.

See below breakdown of his scoring in that time;
0-90 - 2
90-100 - 5
100-120 - 10
120+ - 17

So has put up captaincy scores in half of those games.

From post-bye last season until now is putting up 122.83.

Someone talk me down of this ledge.
I'll try.
Laird since 2020: 42/111.88
Laird with Sloane: 32/113.59
Laird without Sloane: 10/106.40
Scores without Sloane: 93, 105, 94, 111, 75, 91, 97, 93, 120, 185
So 4 of his 7 sub 100 scores in your table, are when he played without Sloane.
That last score of 185 saved his without Sloane average, which was 9/98 before it hit!

Pretty simple for me this week.

Gibcus/Stephens and Rowell out for Rosas and Touk.

Last week of that 76 being in Touk's price cycle, think he's ripe for the picking. Think it's a shade early on Rowell and whichever rook I flog off, but hand forced a little bit.


With Oliver set to have a decent, fall next week it will likely be a week early on Charlie Curnow down to Sam Hayes (via J Hayes to Fwd), and a rookie or Berry up to Clarry.

That’s quite a useful post @Zagbag, might do the same(ish) as I don’t own Miller. Would set me up to have Macrae, Oliver, Miller, Steele and Neale by R7 which sounds pretty good.

A cautionary word on bringing in Touk, I think he’s injured ATM. If you have watched the Suns the last three weeks he isn’t covering the ground like he used to and he seems to have lost some speed. As a result he isn’t racking up the possessions which were the key to his big scores. He also is likely to drop another $20k over the next fortnight, which gives you time to watch him this week before pulling the trigger. I think Titch is the better option now his role in the middle has settled and the forward experiment is over.

I’m not sure Titch is selectable yet. It felt like he only started about half the CBA’s in the mids on Monday. Big second half, but it was ugly early on.

I was leaning Titch in preseason, obviously skipped, but the recent articles and chat from his coach put me off looking at him despite the price. Nice score last round though.
