By The Goat and The White Maggot
Player of the Week: Andrew Carrazzo (134)
Carrazzo didn’t get the highest score for the week - that honour went to Chad Cornes (144). Sam Fisher was next highest (142) but both of those guys played against weak opponents - Melbourne and Carlton respectively. Carrazzo went head to head with one of the form midfields in the competition (St Kilda) and managed 134. His 38 touches were a career high and the highest possession number for a Carlton player since 2000. 25 of these coming in the first half, one off the all time record of possessions for a half which is 26.
Honourable Mentions: The Chad (144), Sam Fisher(140), Jared Brennan (129), Rhan Hooper (122)
Biggest Disappointment: Josh Drummond (26)
Only played 47 per cent game time due to injury, but 26 points is 26 points. He has been a star this season but at that price you need better.
Other Points of Interest:
- Number one football caller Brian Taylor wasn’t slow in naming his man for the week as Nick Gill (Adelaide). 83 is a fair return for a first gamer, especially as a key forward. Has a great leap and a fair amount of guts - if only he could kick straight! Two misses from straight in front at crucial times in a game can hurt your DT scores. The 24 year old has been in the system for a while (once a Kangas rookie) so needs to show the signs quickly.
- The Chad found plenty of the ball playing forward and nailed 6 goals 2. It was a fair return from the big fella, but if he is going to play forward every week there is the potential for some low scores. Still with Warren Tredrea due back anytime he should move back in to the midfield and continue to find the footy. He is going to need to if he wants to start winning the sibling competition with brother Kane, (the highest possession winner gets lunch bought for them).
- The West Coast midfield is again a scary prospect with the return of Benny Cousins, giving it (dare I say it) a shot in the arm. Following up lasts weeks 140 with a solid 93 he certainly is an attractive option to strengthen your finals bound midfield. Will drop dramatically this week in price but nevertheless a very tantalising upgrade option since not many players will have him.
- The Osteitis Pubis curse seems to have hit everybody’s favorite Praying Mantis, Aaron Sandilands. With rumours coming out of the West that Sandi was struggling with the dreaded OP, the stats tell of a disappointing performance. Frankly 32 points from a starting gun ruckman leaves him now valued at a low $251,600. I’m off the Giant!
- Brisbane’s stunning performance against Collingwood brought a smile to many eyes, and the show that Jared Brennan (129) put on was simply stunning. Dreamtime was back at the G with the aforementioned Brennan and Rhan Hooper enjoying the limelight immensely. Chuck in Jonathan Brown (111) and Jed Adcock (121) to the equation and you have some pretty impressive scores.
- What is it with the Kangaroos? If it’s not Drew Petrie kicking a bag full of goals it’s Corey Jones (129). The run has got to stop at some point though surely.
- Steve Johnson (134) and Joel Corey (130) continued the rout that has been the Geelong midfield this year.
- Matthew Boyd stepped up in the absence of the injured Scott West to score a total of 130 while Wayde Skipper (remember him?) scored 108 for his first game of the year.
- The Rising Star Award goes to… Joel Selwood. With Scott Pendlebury (just three points) going down with what looks like a season ending injury, there is only one man for the prize. (Ed: Unless he gets suspended.)
- The New Coach Factor: Out goes Pagan and miraculously ‘The Fevolution’ is able to punch out a ‘measly’ 92. Not bad for a bloke with a 30 cm calf tear during the week. Youngster Ryan Jackson (107) pulled out a ton in first game under Brett Ratten, while Eddie Betts’ extended run in the midfield netted a return of 86 this week, smashing his average of 53. Meanwhile, not much has changed at either Melbourne or Freo with the change of coach but Brent Moloney (66) has seen a return to the squad and Nathan Jones (82) has found a fair bit more game time on the ball.

wat ruckman would u get for sandilands i have the money to buy the following mcintosh, charman, moony, or josh fraser or any below that
look at lade, was a gun last year, port finding form you only need him to perform for 5 weeks, if you have the money i reckon mcintosh has been good all year and fraser will get better.
With Dosh - Mcintosh
Without - Lade or Simmonds (who can only improve)
Is Cousin’s current BE of 219 right? Over 2 games he’s got an average of 116. Hmmm, and on his player profile his BE is only 80 which seems more correct. So he might be at his lowest price currently.
Apparently Pendlebury might only miss 2 games as well, that’s going to be interesting to see if he recovers quickly or not.
be weary of lade tho. ive had him for a month or so and this was the first week he did anything! but if he does start to keep the weekends form he is awesome value for money
that is a VERY interesting point your raise Ed. And i would be very keen to know the answer myself. Cousins is certainly someone i want for the finals but that was assuming he was gonna come down 40k!
Yeh Biglands would be useful, how bout wade skipper pretty cheap and 108 on his 2007 debut.
Cousins shouldn’t drop this week??? His BE is only 80 and FFGenie predicts a rise of $11700
Okay fellas, let me explain. I thought it odd that Cuzz’s break-even was 200 as well, but I got it from FF’s ‘New Prices’ page.
Thus, it may be wrong - I would go with whatever Grimlock (FF Genie) says.
What is wrong with West, any news?
any chances of gilbee coming back this week? as the song goes… i am the king of wishful thinking
Urgent captain advice needed for this week’s game. Must win to be any chance of finals, and up against a tough team.
Options:
C Cornes
J Bowden
J Brown
Bartel
Kerr
I would go with Bartel (vs Richmond) or take a punt on Brown (vs Kangaroos at Gabba). Bartel is the more reliable option, I reckon.
The Chad could also be good but they’re playing Adelaide so it’s a bit less certain.
if tredrea doesnt come up then chad may play forward and maybe stand rutten if he comes up. although he does save his best for showdowns
lots of ifs and buts there so i would probably run with bartel.
yeah bartel for sure man against the tiges he’l have a blinder
johnson, lockyer, cox or kerr for captain this week? cox v warnock seems enticing, but could also see lockyer bouncing back hard against carlton..thoughts?
yeah id proly go with cox or kerr over at subi and against warnock you could be right, altho im hoping cox does average so goes down so i can pick him up but you could also be right with lockyer to unless they decide to chuck murphy on him like they did last week with montagna and gave him a score of 47
does anyone know how i can check the breakevens for next week?
my calculations give Cousins a breakeven of 80, if he continues to score at his average of the last 2 rounds (116), he will go up in price about $13.5k
Click the “new prices” link on the side of the fanfooty home page for the team you’re interested in.
hm no mention of the port boys having big games (besides the chad) like ebert lade and brogan
with one trade left, n in finals, who would u guys consider mroe important to upgrade?
hunter in the backline, or jake king in the midfield?
I think you should hold onto it and trade whoever is injured/missing in your deciding game! Going into the finals with 0 trades is a pretty bad move.
pez…
you might just want to check your information because Keneally isn’t on their list…
but nice thinking anyway haha
How do you work out the break evens?
cheers
so what was decided? cousins breakeven is 80? if so, why the hell does fanfooty still have it as 200 sumthing?
well its changed now so 80 it is
Thoughts on what to do with pendlebury. I have 3 trades and 35K in the bank but no reserve centres (muston and browne)and playing the top ranked guy in my league with a top 4 spot secure. Should i trade him or sacrifice this week and maybe the first round of finals in the hope that pendles will pull thru for week 2 of the finals. Cheers in advance.
ive got 3 trades left and im sitting 2nd atm.. i will definately make top 4.. but the giant is out for the season. do u think i should trade him for lade or maybe get warnock and pick up 100K any thoughts?
Yeah finaly got brad johnson, trade nathan ablett for him yeah pump
A-rod for pendles get either black, goodes, grant and also think or shaun burgoyne adam/troy selwood and daniel harris from the roos plus all of most of the ppl i have menioned r cheaper than pendles oh ye n i forgot think of hasleby
is there any website that tells you then ins and out and all that
Scotty wait till teams are posted mate. Thursday night you will find out.
I’m thinking of trading Pendlebury too but I think I’ll wait another week and see how he’s looking. Another few options are Ryan Lonie, Paul Licuria and at a bit higher, Brent Stanton. If Daniel Wells gets himself up he might be worth looking at too.
What’s the story with the AFL lawyers stopping live Super Coach updates!
This will ruin my weekend footy watching (and the other 150,000 entries).
Bastards!!
helllo boys,
i have a problem, i got 2 trades left and 23k left in the bank, my top 4 spot is kind of secure.
I need to trade sandilands and gilbee.
Any suggestions??
cheers George
i cant wait for this week i got 8 cats and the last time the cats played the tigers a 157 point victory with a team full of big scores
holy crap! 8? thats intense. i spose if u were gonna have 8 from one team, geelong would be a good idea
who should i get for sandilands
jolly? everett? cant afford anyone over 270 k
even lade maybe
Is it time to trade Joel Selwood this week? He has a break even of 105 and I can get the cash to swap him for Cousins with 6 trades left. What does everyone think?
What’s this I’ve been hearing about the AFL wanting to shut down Fan Footy’s Live Dream Team Scoring??
Don’t let ‘em!!
Whyz everyone on the cousinz banwagon?
bartel, scottland, goodwin, carazzo, swann …. all cheaper and all better… plenty just as good as cousins and are $50,000 plus cheaper…
Hey edo, i like hille if u have $270,000… hes fairly consistant with 70 - 90’s …
but outta your 3… i’d prob go lade… hes capable of the big scores…. but b4 this week he hadn’t cracked higher than 63 for 5 weeks…. so can’t really say hes in form mate
go with hille
Anyone here game to predict J. Brennan will score over 50 this week?
Tom,
Brennan has plagued me all year and when I don’t play him he has a big score. I will bench him this week - guaranteed to get another 100 then for sure.
I hope my jinx helps you all.
I really dislike Brennan he freaked it at the start of the year then it all went downhill to last week i only sold him and cut my losses a few weeks ago with him and it really annoys me now that he finally does something, i am prediciting a few poor games now.
Rossi - I would be looking at trading Selwood considering he’s over $350k now and you have 6 trades left. Cousins looks fit and he’s getting enough of the ball. Depending on this weeks score he might dip once he gets past his 140 score, but he looks like scoring more consistantly than Selwood. Even if Selwood scores big this week he’s not going to move much because of his high BE.
I think you’re all being a bit hard on Brennan. You’ve gotta look at the form his in now which is an average of 93 over the last 5 weeks. Bartel’s average over the last 5 weeks is 83 so if you’ve got Brennan, keep him in your side… you could do a lot worse.
yeah id trade selwood now, i traded him when he was at 240ish thinkin that’d be it but surely he cant go up much more,
and like someone said earlier id go for someone cheaper like scotland or bartel than cousins will save ya heaps and is gonna be just as good scorer
Sean Kenneally IS listed on the Power website but I havent seen him on the DT trade options. I would have assumed he would have been listed in the Forwards from your comments PEZ DERSPENCER
Blozza - The problem with Brennan is he’s super inconsistant, even 2 weeks ago. At quarter time he was on 0, then half time he was on 10, three quarter time he was on about 30 and then he had a massive last quater which took him up to 85 and made him look reasonable.
Just a word of advice on Joel Selwood in Round 9 i sold him for $251,800 and he got dropped that week or injured didnt play till Round 12 and i thought i got MAX out of him now he’s hit 351,300 so u never know with him but u have to say now he surely has hit MAX???
assassin/pez derspencer - i have seen sean keneally play and he’s quite the talent. definately a chance in 08. slightly awkward kicking style, gill style. but he’s from elizabeth, considered locally a brauler. got a nose for leather, but i think he’ll struggle with the judiciary system. likes boys i’ve heard!
agree with booth about Hille as an option for Sandilands, especially when you consider the bombers play the hawks (lack a top quality ruckman), then Freo minus Sandi, Carlton, and Richmond. Of course, they do play West Coast in round 22…
i have to win this week to make the top 8 but i’m coming 3000th over all… can anyone believe it??? i’m soo good at this game but can’t make the 8… i’m better than every other team in my league… i think its sick!
does anyone know if trading out works? i haven’t had any trades left for the last 4 weeks but i haven’t had any injuries. is this comon? i must be really lucky because i can’t seem to loose either. do you all luv me?
oh pez - have you seen my side??? its simply awesome but i cant ake the 8. i think this comp is rigged. why do you like the magics soo much? do you know each other well? i’m all for keeping the easy beats cause i hate missing the 8. luv ya man!
who’s turst? and why is he using my name?
i like cycling! is there a dream team for cycling?
i will beat you this week piggy and you will be the laughing stock of the comp. you think your so good… cya piggy!
pez - i am the best dream teamer in the comp and my aust ranking prooves it. you are in bed with each other. adam i believe there is a cycling dream team. on entry you get a free tackle protector! junior for you!
Pez/Assassin/Smuggles - I have been looking for Sean Keneally on the AFL site, Port Power site and googled his name as well. are you serious about Sean, because I can’t find him anywhere?
PEZ, YOUR WEIRD! MY FAV PLAYER IS DAMIEN PEVERILL. ARE YOU A BOMBERS FAN TOO?
do you guys know where my mum put my socks?cant win dream team with no socks on!
yeah id say chad cornes is better, altho kane is proly more consistant ive got both of them and they do me great,
and what are you ranked pigskin?
you know where to put it mark!
in you come sean!~
i like leanne’s torso! i wish gary didn’t change the locks!
obviously there’s something going on here. i hope some of you get removed from this blog. idiots
pigskin - im at 1463
whats your teams name i wanna check it out
and i agree with the other boys enough about the dogs, more about the footy which is why i found this thing
Cam Bruce out for two weeks(min), re-injured his hamstring.

disapointed man, very VERY disapointed,
ill win this week but i need him for the first round of finals in hope to go straight to the prelim
to be honest pigs ya havnt done a whole heap wrong, and if you were in my league id say you would have made the 8 easy a few lil weak links which might have set ya back in raines and morris, alot of people picked him up at the start of the year thinkin he could do well for his price i thought about it but didnt make the trade and am glad i didnt coz he never really kicked off and morris doesnt usualy score that well expet for last round which was a suprise against the eagles.
decent lookin midfield altho judd had his down patch for a while and priddis is going through that now but should pick up rucks are good, cox is well cox we all know how good he is and hudson was a good pickup to for the price he was at the start so good move there.
and i love your forwrds man the only downside is roo who hasnt played much but im assumin you picked him up after he was cheap and had that great game a few rounds back, unfortunantly he’s dropped off now.
other than that dude a good looking side you got many trades left and are you def to miss the finals?
hey,
wondering if anybody knows how Dustin fletcher is? will he be right or was it just a small problem before a game? same with riccuito this week….i mean how long does a rolled ankle take to be playable…..
Id trade roo right now but i want to keep my four trades intact for finals….plus who is the best option to upgrade him for (i have 100K allocated for this upgrade)
no but lingy is a champ not so great DT wise but a great player and am glad to have him playin for my side, can have a decent scoring game tho when he gets a few touches and usualy kicks a goal or 2
luch
id trade roo F**k knows if he’l even be back with crows looking like they wont make it, i reckon lucas or lloyd could be good bets or if you wanted to save some cash for finals trades maybe lynch? if i had room for those boys id grab one
cheers joey, i was looking at Okeefe…but yeh lucas looks to be a better bet….
How does Joel Selwood for Bartel sound?
no probs man, and yeahim hopin to get lucas if i have to trade anyone
yeah bartel will be more consistant do it if you have to make the trade but selwoods still good dude and playin the tiges this week he could have a cracker but then so could bartel,
joey i have 6 trades which should be plenty so i thought i should make my team as good as i can before the finals
yeah that should be a good move then rossi, where are you ranked and whats your team name? ill have a look
To who ever was asking there is a cycling dream team. Well not just cycling it’s a Tour de France one. My bro does it and is in the top 15 in the world but I’ve totally forgotten the website.
Oh yeah, the Tour de France is over. You’ll have to wait till next year.
boys serious trouble.
have 4 grand in the kity not so much,
i ahve sandi and ryder the weekpoints in my team. do i trade sandi for simmonds and then try and get a ruckman under 200 g for ryder?
or.
do i trade ryder for a rookie(even tho i have angus graham hoo will replace him this week) and use the spare money to get a cox,
must win game.
thoughts?
hey anthony
do they give bonus points for having a drug free team in tour de france dream team?
if there is a decent rookie ruck out there could be alright doing that coz it’d be good to have cox this week wih no sandi.
how bout skipper? scored pretty well last week and i think hes pretty cheap or would that not be enough to get cox?
maybe skiper and fraser or somthing
raul
trade sandi for simmonds and ryder for warnock who will get games for the rest of the year with sandi out. would expect him to av around 60 being the only ruckman
joey i’m ranked 3396 after a very slow start. My team is the West Coke Eagles
I have Jake King, Marc Murphy, Priddis, Selwood and Travis Boak in my midfield. It looking pretty raw. Which 2 should i trade out to get KANE and Bartell?
sorry i meant 3811 overall
Skipper is very cheap if he’s going to score 108 every week but it’s hard to know what he’s going to do after just one game. Every other ruck around that price is averaging 50 tho…
haha west coke eagles, i like it
Hey, i must win this week for top spot
Currently 2745 overall (Gallant in Victory)
Wondering should i trade Polak, or Kosi and if so who should i get carrazzo, mcphee i have cornes, lockyer, bowden, shaw and adcock
Any other good backs below 350k
Richo, McPhee is good but he’s preetty inconsistent as far as big score go depends if you pick the right week
jeez you got a decent looking side man, the forward line is pretty much the same as mine.
and a bartel for selwood trade would make it even better, see how gilbee goes to but id swap either he or harris for heath shaw if you got enough trades
id grab carazzo richo, id love to have him myself, if you can afford him do so
k thanx carrazzo it is
yeah if gilbe isn’t back soon he’s going. I’m planning to trade Hasleby for Dane Swan next week after his price bottoms out
carrazzo is a good idea
gettin swan to? nice man id also like to have him
who ya gonna get rid of for swan?
and its really pretty hard to choose who to trade for carazzo richo id put it down to if you have more saints in ya side trade kosi or more tiges then trade polak, also deopends if kosi is back this week i think he is isnt he?
but kosi really is picking up so id try to keep him
well if i trade tom williams and selwood for bartel i’ll have 95000ish lft for next week. Then i’ll trade hasleby (or judd if he gets injured) for swan or i’ll do gilbee for carrazzo depending on gilbee’s injury
i have 4 trades.. and very little money in the bank.
this week i’m thinking about trading joel selwood for a gun centre. was thinking either bartel, carrazzo or heath scotland.
Hi, Im just wondering what you guys think about this.
Joel Corey has become the new James Bartell
Ive look at the past 5 weeks or so and it looks as if this is the case.
Highly interested in responses
Richo - a few years ago joel corey was the best dt midfielder. i have wondered if he would regain those statistics. it seems he has. would be a gamble but that’s what makes the good dream teams get the edge on the rest.
ive got sandi and i need to trade him out.. do u think sandi for warnock or sandi for lade/everitt?? im currently 2nd and cant fall out of the top 4.. 3 trades left
sydney - carazzo is a backliner. why get him in the midfield if he’s available in the backline. scotland is down on last years form, could be tanking like carlton, who knows what bartel is doing. my guess bartel isn’t capable of running out a full season with an ave well over 100ppg just like cam bruce last year who couldn’t do it. bodies basically get tired
damo - get lade, he is a gun outta form. with port on a high he will lift. too smart, can’t break him any more, kicks goals, heaps of hit outs, especially with the bogan back. lade is yr man. everitt doesn’t know what he’s doin let alone us try and work him out?
All this Sandilands talk! You’ve got to trade him for Simmonds if you’ve got no cash. At 217k he is a bargain and the equal of anyone under 270k. He’s been injured and he is definitely regaining fitness
Damien - it’s because of Joel Selwood. He’s 350k.. and even though he’s a gun rookie, he’s still a rookie.
I don’t have any attractive trade options for Carrazzo in my backline.
who as captain this week?
Bartel, Gazza Jnr, C Cornes (seeing as though crows give away most 100’s), Bj, or maybe even Pavlich?
Cheers
bally - id suggest either one of your first 3 guys you said, the cats are playing the tigers at home so no doubt jimmy and gaz will rip it up and so might cornes, anyone of those 3 would be a safe bet
Hi gang, just a quick note: I have deleted all comments relating to car stealing in Adelaide, since these comments were defamatory and I’d rather not be sued.
good move tom, should be footy talk anyway
I agree with Tom and Joey. This is a fantasy football blog. If you want to talk about race issues there are plenty of blogs for that.
did i miss something?
You did, Michael. Tom has kindly deleted all of the offending posts. We will continue to do so.
I’m as happy as the next bloke to talk politics, Belly, just not on this blog.
big week is kerr injured
Regardless of who your Dream Team captain is, racism is not cool.
And as far as I know, Kerr is fine. Luke Darcy is rumoured to be retiring though.
he better not be i just heard yesterday that bruce was injured and if west isnt back in its gonna annoy me, i wont lose but still f**k
haha tom you gotta be shittin me?
damo - simons right. symonds is the only ruck you should get. if he’s fit he’s great. 100pts/wk player. had him last year and would have him in my side againa and again if he’s fit. hopefully cheap next year and richmond can find some decent backup for him so he can go forward comfortably.
ive been thinkin about pickin up fraser, love to have cox but if i get him i wont be able to upgrade another average player but i might have a look symonds now, fraser should go down a bit this week tho so will see how much he drops off
Darcy has announced his retirement but he’s playing out the year. Kerr sounds like he’s good to play.
yeh i just read that about darcy altho it might have been good coz it would of forced me to trade him.
and who is posting under me? dont be a tosser
im 1297 in aust is this good?if so tell me why,its my 1st year……….
whats your team name? and yeah id say its pretty good, your just ahead of me, but not for to long brother
I would rather back Darren Jolly based on this years form rather than a suspect Simmonds
yeah you could be right also man, i think ill just wait after this week for fraser to come down and grab him, hes been pretty good
Joey where did u hear the bruce thing? I have him aswell and he scored ok against a rampaging Port, Suprisingly he scored very well against Sydney last time they played, I think he has 2 play.
Mammes posted the link about Bruce above. It said he’s a chance to return in a fortnight, so he’s out for at least 2 rounds.
ive seen posts about dustin fletcher and have posted one myself…….i hope his knee is right…..that could be a pain if he doesnt play…..anybody know his situation?
yeah someone posted it earlier sav i guess we’ll see the teams tonight and find out if brucey and fletcher is in not that i have fletch but for you luch
hey whats this about kerr is he good to play didn’t kno he was injured
who should i hav for captain gary ablett or jimmy bartel? big decision 4 me
it is tough, im thinkin gary
is chapman back this week?
god i hope so
thanks joey, yeh chappy ment to be back
does every body kno to get rid of Sandilands
heard about a kerr injury could be bs tho, the problem with simmonds is he is only playing around 55 percent of the game so his numbers are down
wat is your ranking joey? just want to look at your team
Chapman hasnt been named on the geelong website??
ranking is 1463 scotty and team is called Jmasters
man i need chappy in
yeh he is it was in paper today
and yeh bruce is out which is shit half the teams are up on the AFL site
What time do the teams usually go up on fanfooty? cheers.
bally you aren’t that racist belly bloke are you
what is the racist belly bloke???
and no i am def not a racist!
Just clarifying that the Bally who is still posting here is NOT the Belly who posted racist comments earlier this afternoon.
That fella - who has been banned, blocked and banished - has repeatedly posted under the names of other people on this blog.
Just something to note; if it seems suss, it’s probably him.
need to trade gilbee out. fighhting for top 4 spot against a very strong team (top 800) but have a very good chance. what do people think of carazzo?
Chappy is depriving my team of dream team status
cool bally all clear, carazzo is top notch, lockyer is another worth a look
chapman hasnt been named on afl site, heard nothing of kerr injury on news in over here in wa so seems hes fine
nice one, i shouldnt of posted that kerr one just it was a perth boy who told me, he does spin shit tho

go for carrazzo if you can get it but gilbee is 251k and carrazzo 344k so u must have a bit of money in ur bank
where did all that come from?
baby jesus
Mammes where did u get this mate?
afl website has the teams up
yeh got 157k in bank only 3 trades left. wanna trade gilbee to carazzo 344 or milburn 298 then save the last 2 trades for finals and or possibly upgrade hudson to fraser
Need some help. Wana pick up Gram who is very cheap. Do i trade Jordan Mcmahon or Grahem Polak… I was thinking Mcmahon as Polak has the ability to score extremely high. Wat do u guys think?
i would normaly say trade polak but jody seems to be in a form slump so yeah maybe trade him, plus a dog for a dog is fair
joey… Gram plays for St Kilda not for bulldogs…
haha yeah sorry my bad, for some reason i was thinkin gilbee,
i had gram earlier in the year i traded him coz he wasnt the consistant, can you afford someone a bit better?
the most i can affor is 296k which is only chris newman and down. Think he is my best choice
yeah ya could be right hirdy, altho i tell ya who could be a bit of a smokey is gilmore from the dockers, hes got over 100 the last 2 weeks in a row and is only 246k could be interesting to look at if he keeps plain like he is
his BE is -3 so hes gonna go up a shitload again this week, i dont know much about him as a player but yeah i might see how he goes this week and think about gettin him next if he carrys the same sort of form
Hirdy, why dont you have a look at beau waters from west coast. he is around $255.
plus he is a gutsy player.
Bally
i’ve had beau since about round 5. not bad but wouldn’t get him again…
yeah but so do half of the west coast players! lol
yeah i am planning on getting him for finals
Need some help!
Upgrading Boyle this week, who to get?
Bowden, Sinclair, Carazzo or Drummond?
Help would be much appreciated
carazzo easily
lol you waited til boyle came back to trade him?
Well yeh, i didnt need to trade him earlier cause i had a full playing backline but im up against a tough opponent this week so i think its the right week to upgrade to a quality back.
yeah good plan. you must be doing something right to be able to trade boyle for carrazzo!
So carrazzo definately the better option? does carlton have a good run home as well where carrazzo is likely to score points?
anyone know how serious matty lappins injury is. how many games is he looking to miss???
carrazzo will get tagged
Collingwood haven’t really tagged this year, most opposition midfielders do pretty well against them.
I have 1 trade left, and im 3rd at the moment, but need to win against a tough opponent to retain a top 4 position. Ive got noone playing on my midfield bench, and cam bruce is out so im gonna be 1 short there… I have 50grand in the bank, so i can trade him out for anyone if i want. Should I trade him out for jimmy bartel or sumthin? or just wait till bruce comes back and save the trade…
also ive got scott west playin in the midfield is he sure to play the rest of the season?
Dude, there’s no ’sure’ thing in footy. I don’t reckon you should go into the finals with 0 trades.
Hirdy pick up the birch if you can, in pretty good form of late.
85, 85, 72, 110, 88
$295,500
B/E of 49.
Not many have him so might be a weapon come finals.
yeah get rid of bruce wont be at full fitness durig your finals, tradeout
how come my finish him got deleted, i was telling tommy to get rid of that syke finish him
Hey, i resemble that comment
resemble or resent?
hey michael any tips on the bombers coaching job, sportsbet have odds, daniher?
bally is ok joey, he isnt part of the virus
daniher or harvey i would think
will an aboriginal ever coach an afl team?? plenty in the game but never make it to coaching level
You guys crack me up.
Glad you like the site!
has anyone in melb heard anymore about wallace at richmond apparently being white-anted by ron joseph in an attemp to install sheeds(as reported on footy show last night).
amazing stuff if it is true!
correct! that’s what makes it so wrong. conflict of interest with him being a player manager. crazy stuff and the last thing some of those struggling vic clubs need
Yeah I heard that on the footy show last night too.. Very far-fetched but ol’ Gaz Lyon was 110% that it was the truth.. Controversy a plenty!
Anyway, My supercoach finals hopes rely on this weekend’s big match. help a brother out here.. I’ve gotta trade of ol’ pendles cos of his foot. leaves me with $477k to play with, was thinkin either:
Swan, Scotland or Carazzo.. or even Malceski for the swannies. any hot tips?
id go swan nels
swan or carazzo i think…. probably carazzo
haha who is this freak?
nels take a look at this guy
glad i got rid of bruce last week and picked up kcornes….just thought id mention
hirdy, i would look at gram becuase he does usually score at least 80 but form has been down recently, depends on the saints run home..i would look at waters as he does get a few posses’ and short kicks and marks in the backline..birchall is good but the smokey might be gilbert, he’s a pretty good second rate backline player whose reasonably priced and does run through the midfield! sorry i couldn’t narrow it down, but i would be considering those 4!
…or adam hunter thats 5!
assuming u already have kane cornes & jimmy bartel in the middle nels?
joel corey is on fire but very exxy now
Yeah I was swingin towards Swan..
unfortunately Corey is out of my price range.. as well as bartel, AND k cornes haha =( it’s a sad lookin midfield to be honest. Managed to rack up 2457 points last week though so I was happy, even if pendlebury did break his foot!
You do realise that Swan is more expensive than Bartel?
talkin supercoach mate. I wish that were the case. Bartel’s about 40 gorillas more
boys boys boys very simple 4 sav this week Dean Cox an absolute Moral i reckon 120 should be resonable this week sandilands out will dominate at the stoppages go u good thing hahahahaha
terry wallace is the media darling, has he ever done anything, that was a handy list he had at the bulldogs, i dont like a coach who at his after match press conferance can say exactly how many games less experience his side has to the opposition, pre match working out what excuse to use, mark williams is the greatest, neil craig paralysis by analysis
nelsy 2457, were u tested after the game?
angel… supercoach scores are generally higher than standard dt scores so i would compare this to about the same as a 2000->2100 dt score
oh, i thought supercoach was what you are called when u hit a national high score or something, ok then nelsy your test came up clean
Looking at trading out Beau Waters for Carrazzo this week. Also considering dumping Foley for Swan and then next week ditching Hudson for Big Cox. Would require the use of a 4th trade to free up cash and leave me with 2 trades left over.
Thoughts?
cobra, are you in the top4? i personally want 1 trade left per final that I play so im intending to go into the finals with 3-4 trades remaining and depending on injuries/upgrades making changes from there.. if you currently have 6 trades left i see no harm in freeing up cash and making an upgrade this week
I cant find any info on Matthew Lappins Hamstring Injury - anyone know how bad it is?
Shane, currently sitting 4th but a loss this week could drop me as low as 6th. The trades I’m looking at are more about improving my team for the next month of football rather than just this week though.
cobra: i would definitely use 2 trades this week that set you up for the finals series and that will leave you with 4 left for finals - you can then assess your options after this weekends results
good luck this weekend achieving a top 4 position
That was kind of my thinking too, Shane. Feel better about it now!
There are so many potential captains this week.
Riewoldt vs. WB
Gary Ablett vs. Richmond
Dean Cox vs. Warnock.. LOL
Who should I put as skipper this thiss week?
i think out of those three i would pick Chad Cornes
Well, I’ve got him too.
Who do you think is better out of Jace Bode and Michael Jamison? Both are listed to debut this week and both are $69600.
I’d probably go with Jamison as Carlton are really testing out all their young players at the moment and don’t want to win another game. I’ve never seen either player but that would be my choice. I don’t think it would matter all that much this late in the season though, unless you were forced to play one of them.
Kane cornes, chad cornes, jimmy bartel, who do u rekon for captain this round?
chad cornes will kill it in the derby. always plays well against crows and will be likely to go forward a little bit with no tredrea and no rutten…
CAPTAIN CORNES
I rekon Rhan Hooper would be a great captain. He is the best player in the afl by far. Now that he is out of rehab he has a great chance of winning the brownlow
does anyone have any injury news on patty ryder?? im sure i saw him at the shopping centre i work at, and he is from my area in perth!!! he was with his little brother and his mum which i have seen before…at the local footy where his dad plays. anyway jsut thought id let anyone know who may have him playing in there team this wkend…if you have have really crappy rucks…sorry…and sorry i should of bloody asked him if it was him!!
hey fellas, get on the big cox, sandilands or warnock arent playing. he will get atleast 30 hitouts for starters
how do you know warnock isnt playing Jackson
Warnock is playing.. Im still wondering whether to make kane,chad or jimmy captain
thanx to matt for at least trying to answer my lappin question. i got rid of him. not worth the risk
Where is the round 18 talking points? So glad, i chose jummy as captain over chad cornes and luckily not Kane Cornes
gettin slack on the updates boys
