This round is not the round to go against the crowd and form on VC as there are already enough variables at play with regards to bench loops and those last few inherent 50/50 decisions on who to field which the majority of coaches will be faced with.

How many DGR players are we targetting for R12 & R13, do we have the preferred SGR players to make up the XI if less than the maximum for those DGRs...? Work back from that structure and you'll find that some of the players may not be as necessary as you now think.

Also note that being a combined team concept, some things are not as easy to manage and administer in a timely manner as there are some individual 'flair' involved. I suggest we decide on the number of DGR players we want for R12&13 as that should narrow down our trade targets and ensure that we don't just follow the 'flavour of the round' which is really not serving our ultimate aim.
I have basically the same team (Dorf plus 100k vs Marnus being the only difference), and I’m targeting 9-10 for each double. Play Short and maybe a loop as my 10th and 11th.

Ok, sticking with Short as VC (was pretty sure we would).

Happy to do Webster to Head as previously suggested, but not entirely sold on Head if they bat second - would rather wait a round personally if they do. Seems the most popular trade in though, so not going to change it.

E currently on Clarke, Lynn and Labuschagne.

Do we do a second trade now? What are we looking at in terms of Rd 12/13 DGR numbers?

Just over 40 mins.

I’m inclined to hang on to Wade rather than Clarke.

Clarke doesn’t have a double, whereas Wade should do. In the event that Wade keeps missing in the near term, he should be usable as a loop (he plays game 3, 3, 2 in the rounds before his double).

Wade is also the better player. Clarke has been consistent but not shown much ceiling this season, surprisingly. He scored 162 on a double in R1, and hasn’t gone above 64 since then. I would take a 64 most of the time, but it’s probably not the type of ceiling I’d hold a player for. No doubt he could go higher, but I’d probably want more evidence of it happening recently to plan around keeping him.

Here's something I've come up with, feel free to add to it.

So round 12(Perth and Heat)
Marnus
Tye
Hardie
Bancroft
Inglis
Agar
Potential trade in targets
Khawaja?
Neser

Round 13 players
Ellis
Mcdermott
Wade if keep

Potential trade in targets
Shadab(if back)
Wade otherwise
David?
Dooley (if back)
Meredith

Warner/Davies for good single against Stars

Has anyone suggested an in for which there is meaningful support that isn’t listed in the poll?

If not, I think there’s a good argument that we should just be getting Usman and Carey. They should bat high and are playing on a good deck, arguably both against pretty poor attacks. Usman doesn’t have the second strong but does have the double.

I’m a bit concerned that if we don’t trade now, we may be waiting for someone who is not worth waiting for (?).

With Short playing the first game of RD12, we can be flexible and look at 10-11 DGR (6 Per 4/5 Bris) and then with the boost get to 6-7 Hurricanes

If Strikers bat second, and enough are interested to flick Head to Carey/Khawaja, of course need a few numbers to jump on board, I'd be down to do that

I would suggest Clarke and (for now) Agar.

I am looking at trading out Agar myself. Slightly surprising ahead of a double, but he scored 89 in a double first up, and has scored 37-62 in singles ever since. He’s averaging a tick under 40 and doesn’t really warrant a spot for 2x40 in a few rounds’ time if I’m struggling for outs.

Importantly, most of the outs can be updated later. It seems like it’s the ins that we need to lock in for game one, so I’m keen to not miss good (and popular) in candidates just because we haven’t bedded down outs.

Head named to open and Carey named at 4. Think Head is a lock. Not sold on Carey now, soo my preference would probably be Hatcher for the cash.

Webster to Head
Clarke to Usman
Agar to Hatcher or Carey

The one upside of Carey is potential fielding points so don’t hate him as a pick.

Any changes? I do like the Hatcher option.

E's / field right?
Just doing my loops as well and have very similar.

I’m considering fielding Marnus and Eing Head, just in case Head goes low with the bat and doesn’t bowl. Head will seemingly be higher ownership I think.

[Head will probably have decent opportunity to bowl with that attack, but Marnus historically bowls around 3 overs a game in recent seasons.]

No way to loop him on with our team (except as a BAT).

Field Lynn, Switch Inglis to WKP, E on Carey?

This is why I prefer Hatcher to Carey personally. Guaranteed cash.
I was probably thinking we swap Carey and Wade, then if Carey goes large we can explore options to take the score (assuming Wade plays) or use Wade if he misses. If he scores badly, at least that’s a score we might dodge vs the masses?

Just looking at WK loop myself.

Carey at WK E, if Wade misses then Wade/Inglis provided a loop to look at Carey?

I think (?) we can swing an ALL up if Wade comes down to the BAT line and we don’t want he and Connolly there.
