Two rookie elevations were announced today: Ryan Davis, who will apparently suit up for the Eagles this weekend in Carrara, and Shane Valenti, the great white hope of the Demons… and of fantasy coaches everywhere. With Cyril Rioli, Josh Hill, Bernie Vince and other forward rookies just about at the top of their rollercoaster ride, Valenti is the perfect downgrade target for those who want to harvest some cold hard cash. Get on board while you can!

I traded him in a couple weeks back when Hill peaked. Was startting to worry he wouldnt come in at all.
same seabohm, i did when hill peaked. need him to get a game though.
any reason why s selwood isnt getting a game? not ready or not good enough?
any thoughts
and it looks like king is fine to play.
scott selwoods still doing year 12 sam, well that’s what i heard. that’d probably be the reason he’s not a regular, I’ll be getting on him next year though.
symes, waters, cornes and proud out of my backline. You have got to be kidding me.
Some good value coming off the Demons rookie list this year.
Is Wonaemirri the real deal or is he gonna struggle to find scores when Melbourne struggles to find possession? I wanna pick up a backman but not convinced he’s the best option…
Hey monty, i’m looking for a cheap centre…. n was wondering who u would say is a better option out of steven browne (carl) … n s.wellington (coll) … anyone else with advise would b handy… cheers
Johnny, Browne, no contest!
Molly
couldnt agree more with molly. i wish i had 3 trades this week cos i’d be getting him.
Chris, Wona is a star but i think you may have missed the boat as far as getting him for value. What’s his price up to now?
wona is too expensive now. your better off getting myers (if u dont already have him)
cant keep a steady back line this year. iv had at least 1 zero per weak.
Thanks for the advice guys, yeah he’s round 180k I think, prior to round 7 was when I should’ve got him. Myers is a good option…
i have tate pears, scott selwood and albert proud and one has to go this week and another will go in a few weeks, who should i trade first and who should i hold onto?
I Still think Shain Altschwager is worth a Look, I’d say he’s almost better than Tommy Williams from the Bulldgos…
thankz 4 the advice molly and jordox
Proud will play most out of those three I’d say Mick.
roberts kisses boys
Evening All,
SC: P Burgoyne ($488 000) Milburn (470 000) or L Gilbee ($453000)?
for: Xav Ellis or M Mattner
Watson, Reilly OUT
Valenti(aka $$$), Malceski to play
shigella
milburn would be the best choice reason being 1. his teams win ratio 2. his efficiancy rates higher than the other two which in turn means fewer possessions can still give him more ranking points
Wanting to trade either kozzi or gram out this week (round 9), If trading gram i would spend about 350 000 and i was thinking birchall would be a good get?
And if trading kozzi i would get chapman? or someone of lower value?
What are your thoughts? please help out..
thoughts on henry playfair?
hes got a very nice breakeven and im looking to get him for cyril rioli to make me some cash and to have plenty of money in the bank.
the only problem is whether henry will keep his spot in the side??
G’day
Anyone heard if chadwick is gonna play this week or not? And if he is should i get rid of bolton or mundy for him? Got a feeling bolton’s run of kick 2 kick games may be over…
does anyone know what the situation is with valenti now that neitz has retired? i thought you could only promote a rookie for someone on the LTI, not when someone retires. would love to be corrected though because i really want to pick him up
nevermind, just read it on bigfooty. apparently dees can keep a rookie elevated because neitz’s retirement was for medical reasons
I picked up Playfair last week, what will his breakeven be this week ? If he scores his avg of 75, what the value go to ?
Anyone have any news on travis Tuck ? With Mcglynn & Crawford out this week, maybe a chance for a midfielder to slot back in. Breakeven only 47….should be easy to crack.
brett
i know that in sc playfairs breakeven is well into the negatives…very nice indeed
brett, im hanging on travis tuck getting a game. as far as i know, his knee is fine.
so with crawford, mcglynn and guerra out, SURELY he’ll be in. fingers crossed anyway
sorry to double post, but i just read on afl.com.au that tuck’s knee will be tested. so i dunno, he should be right though
Evening all.
What’s everyone’s view on Mackie. Two great games in a row. $365K at the mo. Not a bad choice as a replacement back?
Dymes, Chadley has got a fitness test but should be ok. I wouldnt get him yet though, he scored just 65 in hislast round and he still wont be 100%. I’m getting him back too but hopefully at about 400 not 431.
Monty- according to Sam Fisher’s player page and the ‘new prices’ page his breakeven is 106. Surely that cant be right after scoring 76 and 113.
chad scored 65 because he spent the whole game getting his finger broken
Hey guys.
Just wondering whether its worth trading symes out?
Apparently he’s going to be out for 2-3 week?
I will need either proud or pfeiffer to play to save a 0…
what are your thoughts?
Cheers
I saw that pfeiffer was one of, if not the best player in the weekends ballarate against the bullants game, I also saw that Jake Edwards kicked 4 goals, with carltons injury worries could these blokes get a game because im down to 3 backman still walking
Cheers
Rob I know that 65 was due to injury but that doesnt mean his price wont go down.
yeah i have the same question as sam weather henry playfair will keep his spot in the side and worth trading in.
i guess we will have to wait for the teams dylan but when barry hall comes back playfair seems like the guy they would drop
Playfair definitely needs to kick a couple each week and provide a marking option. With Mick O playing well I doubt they would drop any of the smaller guys who are in some ok form at the moment.
how can travis tuck still not be in?!?
very dissapointing news
i have a dilema
Who do i play as my last forward?
Hill, Tippet or Gamble?
i had a dilema.
but i fixed it wen i moved onto dreamteamtalk seeing as they actually post stuff on their blog lol
Gamble by a mile Mitch.
just so everyone knows, the breakevens have not been updated and would be incorrect.
whats going on monty???
There’s a great Java program with all the breakevens called FF Genie:

hey guys my forwardline as of this round is:
Franklin, R.Murphy, Chapman, Giansiracusa, Porplyzia, S.Johnson, & Riewoldt/Rioli.
I say Riewoldt/Rioli because i’m tossing up over which guy to put in this week? I have a feeling Rioli will go nuts against the Dees and Riewoldt won’t go as well coming back from his knee injury. All my opponents have Rioli (none Riewoldt) so it will only be nullifying his performance, but can i risk him outscoring Riewoldt? Even if Riewoldt does end up playing well on my bench it would be good for his form next round.
What do you guys think? Thanks in advance for any responses.
should i put in rioli or riewoldt this week?
rioli could explode against melbourne, all my opponents have him. riewoldt is coming back from his injury. even if he scores well on the bench it’ll put me at ease when i throw him into the side next week
hey mitch - id go tippett as he is against the west coast and pumped after his selection as NAB rising star for round 8. Id say he will get DT 100, gamble will get about 70 max.
ROBERTS
stop giving people advice, i beat you
yer good call theros!
whats the go with valenti now that wonna has booked a permanent gig thanks to neitz? how many more weeks has he got before he’s back to the rookie list?
They can both play now that Neitz has retired (due to injury reasons).
roberts stop ignoring me,
ur not monty so stop trying to be him
I went to school with Valenti, picked him up from rnd 1, got rid of him Rnd 5….. i rkeon hiz gonna be that good that i picked him up again rnd 10….. waste of a trade? i rekon come rnd 13-20 the kids gna rip it… always has !
j
traded him for Lovett off the bench…. gave me a possible star on the bench money for ebert to replace a non-gamer, Simpson (geelong) with Brett ebert….
what do you think of that move?
j
Ebert’s injured. lol.
Cotchin or Valenti??? Cotchin was number 2 pick, but Valenti is cheaper by 40k! (both avg about the same after 2 games)
depends if you need that extra 40k or not Pottsy. I’d say Valenti is better value although Cotchin will improve on his first two weeks.
