Was hoping to avoid correction trades but watching carlton tonight has Cripps at the front of the queue for me.    Possibly into titch, brayshaw, ldu or dunkley.   Will sleep on it and see what the rest of the round brings.   


Jordon > any rookie that is dropped next week. 

Cripps doesn't look right but he's not been terrible, anything 80+ is ok because you know he's got a monster game in him. Another high standard deviation player who will probably finish 105-110. Not what I was hoping for but not the end of the world.

He spent basically the entire 3rd quarter forward which was rough. His contested marking around the ground is down and he is getting more uncontested handball. It's a bit of a perfect storm right now.

Another odd observation, he changed his boots at quarter time and half time. Last week he changed them at half time. The reason it's so noticeable is because he is going from organge to green. It may be unrelated and coincidental or it could be a mental thing and he is struggling to settle in games.

Personally I'm probably looking at Dow and my other crap rookie out to whichever standout rookie I'm missing. Dow actually didn't look bad again tonight but struggled to get into rhythm after a good first quarter. I feel our rotations are all over the shop and Teague has no idea how to use our available mids. Guys are getting stuck on the bench or the same position for way too long. Walsh has had his best quarter back to back weeks in the third when Cripps has been forward

I feel like if I trade Dow out he'll go huge and kickstart that cash flow. Surely Carlton turn things around and no doubt that's when Dow will push up in output. He has a 9 day break playing Freo at Marvel next.

I also have Daniher and I'm leaning towards him being first out. Not sure Joe will do much against Geelong at home.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked. He has had quarters where he has killed it so far. Then he will have a 5 point quarter and kill his game.

Didn't get a chance to watch Z.Williams last night. 78 feels low. What happened? Could be a correction trade.

That's just Williams pumps out some crap scores in between some good ones also injury prone he was clutching at his arm late in the game I got him last year after an injury and he was rubbish hence his cheaper starting price.

What does this mean for Dow? Like many sucked in with the he is playing on the ball.

Paddy Dow spent 35 mins and 31 secs on the bench last night - 2nd most of any Carlton player behind Jack Martin.

Based on Carltons first 2 games Dow to Jordan and Cripps to Walsh.  Walsh seems to overtaken Cripps from what I am seeing.

If I had Dow, I'd be trading him. He's just a dud. One 80+ score in his career.

If I had Dow (which I don't) I'd certainly think about Dow-Jordan, Cripps-Titch.................I may even do that with Campbell depending on how he goes.

Dow > Jordon on the cards for me pending how other rookies go. I’ve got all the rest that I needed to get I think. Hopefully no more injuries/suspensions.

Lucky You. I stupidly traded him in as a luxury POD. It was one of the most frustrating, gut wrenching & at many times comical displays I have ever witnessed in 6 or 7 years of fantasy coaching. Williams running past & gets the handball receive & slips over. Can he spit out a cheap handball maybe, nope! Williams gets a shot on goal annnnnnd...out on the full. Williams with a great centre clearance & gets it back on his way through at the 40m for a shot on goal. Mowed down from behind HTB lol. One of 5 FAs for the night. Then, to top it off, he is down clutching his elbow, which made perfect sense at the time. Also yapping at the umps for HTB or in the back all the time & pointing at other players where they should be all the time, which I hate. All this in his first game for the club mind you. How about you run into some space & ask for the ball yourself you twat!!! On a positive note he did get the role I was hoping for (plenty of CBAs). Time spent not on ball or bench was all spent in the F50. Anyway, that about sums it up.

He is trying to take the game on too much in the packs, but is not good enough or fast enough with his decision making or disposals. I think he has more of a chance getting injured in the packs than if he plays more of an outside role.

Williams still a solid pick, won't lose money & should average enough to tie down D6. Probably 90-95 for the year.

If you haven't started him there are much safer picks than him lets see how he is doing by the time it's upgrade time.

Yep. Lloyd, Laird, Mills, Doc, Stewart, Short, May, Crisp...the list goes on. I had a bad start but dodged the Danger & Rowell so I thought I would take a chance & hope Zac busted out a 110+. Didn't work out. D6 keeper it is if he stays on the park.

Would love to jump on Moore but there's no way I can free up the cash. Unless Caldwell really stinks it up...

It was his DE/FA's. He went 46.7% by foot (50% overall), had 8 turnovers and 7 clangers. It's weird because he had a couple of elite deliveries inside 50 early in the game but I feel he tried to bite off more than he can chew sometimes because he is such a good kick. I feel he is in for a big one against Freo.

Based on Carltons first 2 games Dow to Jordan and Cripps to Walsh.  Walsh seems to overtaken Cripps from what I am seeing.

He honestly didn't look too bad but you nailed it on the head with his 35.5 minutes on the bench.

He had a contested possession rate of 46.2% which is higher than what Bont, Dunkey and Oliver had in their last games. So it's a pretty decent number but it might also be a case that he doesn't know how to win the easy ball to help boost those possession numbers. When there is a mark or general play has been held up he doesn't run offensively for the ball. If the ball is on the back flank near the boundary he will run to the space on the 50 instead of leading up into the space to provide an option. The ball will get kicked long and down the line away from him and he is out of it from that point. So he is effectively running into their zone to just clog up space.

He had 6 score involvements which puts him behind Murphy (8), McKay (7), Fisher (7) and Gibbons (7). It leaves him tied with Walsh and Newnes which is pretty good.

1 turnover and 0 clangers is an improvement on last week. 11 of his 13 disposals were effective but 2 of his 6 kicks weren't. 10 pressure acts for the game and only two tackles aren't ideal.

I think a lot of it is boiling down to he isn't around the contest enough since he isn't a run and spread player. Weather it's him being on the bench or running himself out of position to create an impact when it's not a stoppage situation.

To be fair he's on par with most of the 200k guys so not the worst pick. I'd still downgrade him to Jordon if he backs it up, that extra cash could prove to be very handy.

Yeah I think I need someone to probably really stand out this weekend to make the move. If all the rookies I don't have are trash I'm probably holding.

Cripps is worrying me more

 :)

Still holding Danger. But if I trade, at this stage, Cripps to Jordan if he goes well again, then Briggs to D Moore. But a big chance no trade again. Really have a strong gut feeling that trades will be worth their weight in gold not too long after the byes and that early sacrifice might bring a very healthy late reward. BUT it's not my advanced age that hinders me in remembering my last correct decision. According to my Mrs it was when I said I do, I just can't remember what it was I said I did ! Or was it do? Starting to wonder, does old age memory Forget or Protect

Watched him closely last night (I'm not a Blues fan btw) but he doesn't seem to be hungry enough to the contest, throw his body, etc. Too many times he's relying on Walsh/Williams/Cripps etc to get the ball rather than willing himself to get the ball. He seems to be using it well enough once he gets it, which seems to be an improvement, but it seems like he's waiting for someone to make something happen, rather he try to create something.

Thinking of Dow to Jordon and Cripps to Titch/Boak/Dusty might be the go.

I am thinking of Cripps to Mills via Clark, if Mills puts in another good game.

If Jordan scores well this round Dow to Jordan and then Cripps ro Walsh/Dunkley

Joe D to literally anyone else

Add Daniher to the bin next week

Have to trade Neale at this point. Have to.

Quote from: Mat0369 on March 26, 2021, 09:48:45 PM
Add Daniher to the bin next week

Daniher, Sharp and Fullerton all vying for a spot in the bin

I'm gonna hold on daniher , don't have neale but he'll bounce back too.

got to remember geelong are the most suspended biggest dog act teem in recent history decade or so. add to their genetic dog nature their coach.... they've not team tagged neale they've dog acted him and his team mates haven't stood up, here's hoping they do in the second half.  add in covid drama and geelong home game and last weeks slow start.

lions will bounce back neale will, team will, that will supply daniher.

dow and cripps that's a different story both probably have to go.

me - henry and cripps in the gun.

He climbed out of the bin, but he left Fullerton and Sharp in there

LOL...Neale on 33 at the approx 17 min mark and ended on 75.....joke!!!!

Fullarton to Flynn or Treacy seems likely

Daniher maybe earns a hold and I was already leaning towards holding Dow. Maybe Jordon stinks it up and I can look at other problems.

Fullarton has to go after tonight.
Will try to bring Campbell into the forward line and trade Fullarton to Jordon.

Sharp will most likely have to stay but that all depends if he gets dropped.

yeah, you are correct colli, but I don't  think he doubled his output in last 15 odd minutes.
Nonetheless it is what it is, I would have loved to see him get 100+ but lower than 50 would have been more incentive to grab the cash with him dropping more in value.
Decisions decisions

Got cash in the bank? Fullarton to McDonald would be a good move for those with a spare 50k up their sleeve.

Not sure how yet, but Tex is coming in

The cash gen alone makes him a must imo, and if he keeps scoring well (Even 80+) that's just gravy

Yeah Dom Tyson to Taylor Walker straight swap is on the cards for me

See how Tyson goes this round.

Caldwell injury means he goes to Tex, then Fullarton to McDonald or Jordon. Easy.

So far just the one for me real easy

O Henry OUT  A Scott FWD and J Jordan IN

Cripps potentially OUT also, but that's not decided.

Wow really don't know who goes for Jordon. Perhaps Waterman if he doesn't get named again.

Caldwell to Tex is locked.

Non-player Fyfe to Jordon for cash generation.

hes gonna drop a lot of coin but so are gawn and grundy, question is tho is he a season long keeper.

I woudn't waste two trades getting him out then back in later just to save $$$

He's going to get that a bit but he got it a bit last year too he'll come good.

On the scoring - there is clearly and openly stated, multipliers applied by the scorers for key moment acts and impact and who knows what else. Players that stand out like dusty and neale fyfe bont the big rucks, several others always have and always will score better than the stats suggest they should in SC

You can get Neale back in 3 weeks

Neale due to drop to around 630k with 3 scores of 120.

Tex due to add 120k with a couple of 60s

With the money in the bank & another downgrade you get Neale back & you have already added Oliver to the squad.

Is this worth 2 trades? Not sure but I'm considering trading Cripps for the same result.

I have a few things that need addressing and I’m trying to work on the order of importance.  I currently have it at:

1. Owning Dom Tyson and needing to trade
2. Owning Heppell
3. Not owning Jordon
4. Owning Neale 
5. Owning Fullarton and not owning Flynn
6. Not owning Tex

With only 2 trades I need to some how correct as many of these as possible.

Got a lot of thinking to do.

  If Flynn goes well today I'd grab him instead of Jordon.  I assume you have Fullarton at R3?

Flynn and Jordan are the two most important to get imo

Tyson and Fullarton/Hep are the ones I'd be dumping for them

My issues are Dow, Fullarton and Sharo - Will probably keep Sharp as floating donut and DPP.

Traded in Jordon last week.  So may not trade unless Dow or Fullarton dropped.

This is what I am thinking as well. Seems the most logical trades. Yep fullarton at r3. I like his dual position so he might stay instead of Flynn’s cash making ability.

Need to trade 2 of: Neale, Cripps, Duggan.

Scored 2260 this week despite these 3 showering it up.

Was thinking Neale --> Boak or Titch, then Duggan to Ridley this week and pull trigger on Cripps next week

Just danger to dunkley. I think to get Ridley I'd need to find just shy of 40k

Will trade Harry Jones to either Warner or Campbell. Think that’s it for now

T Phillips to Butters is highly likely too.

I was thinking the same with A Fyfe to Jordon, but thought it was a waste.
Fullarton to Warner or Campbell.

I have Scott, Sharp and Kosi who are on the chopping block.

And Bruhn is another one who might have to go.

Big decisions

Can't believe this, but I don't think I will be doing any trades  :o

Think I'll just do Jones or Cox > Jordon via Campbell, bc they both can't get near it with how bad Essington is.

Gonna bypass Flynn and just go Heppell > tex, Tyson > Jordon

Fullarton sucks but he should be semi regular games and when he doesn’t he will be a loophole option, he also has vital dual position status and that will be useless when Rowan Marshall comes into my side mid season

If Heppell plays it allows me to do something with Lachie Neale.

Will probably be.......
Harmes -> Jordan
Caldwell -> Any Mid or Fwd under 600k

Cripps->Jordan and H.Jones ->Impey/Campbell

Got all the good rookies so Duggan is my only concern. Will look to trade him to Short or Ridley.

Well, I sacrificed some points to get another look at Jordon & McNeill, reasonably happy that McNeill is likely to hold his spot, not happy Scott dished out the dirt. So probably A.Fyfe or Sharp to Jordon.

The second trade is interesting, trying to hatch a plan to get Neale in so might grab Impey or Walker. Not sure who's on the chopping block but potentially Taranto.

If your happy with your rooks then perhaps entertain a power trade, Neale could be used to your advantage.

I don't have Neale

Will see what team news comes out this week, but I've just double checked all the rookies and I definitely won't be grabbing any this week (unless forced to) so I might just sit tight for now

Giro 123k mid is the only one I might keep an eye on

Fair enough, good place to be. I buggered up my rooks this year & have paid the price, rolling lockout didn't help however. Probably just bring in Jordon & Berry for whoever is dropped. Rank ok just need to ensure I don't have any more missteps.

Pretty happy where I’m at. No trades thus far. The only thing I’ll entertain is:
A) keep Neale & Clark
B) trade in Boak & Bowes for the above

If you have the luxury of trading Neale then I'd do it, bring in Martin/Dunkley & sit on the cash. Reckon Neale might sink below 600k.

Didn't use one for round 2.

Round 3.

Dow to Jordon.

Not sure if I'll use a second. Looking at,

Cripps to Mitchell/Boak
Phillips to Butters, Walker +191k, Switoski +210k, Impey +277k.
H.Jones to L.McDonald.

Change of heart, follow the money.
Caldwell for Waliker,   
D Tyson for C Warner.
That covers all the main moneymakers. Holding Danger and waiting on Cripps, all else ok.

Used one trade last week, now looking at:

Jones > Warner
Cox > Impey

Essendon rookies aren’t worth it. But worried about using 3 trades already..

You need to make the cash though. Not worth holding guys if they're going to make minimal cash or go backwards. Look at Fischer McAsey last year.

I'm stuck on this too ... not sure whether to go phillips to impey or walker??

Trying to decide whether to trade Cripps or Neale.
Neale will drop in price a ton, and could use all the cash to bring in other players. I'd also want Neale later on when he's cheap.
Cripps won't drop as much, but he's been pretty average so far.

Both really solid cash grabs, I mentioned Impey because he's cheaper but Tex could rocket to 500k with another big bag.

Neale + Ely Smith -> Dusty + Tex
Cripps + Dow -> Dusty + Jordon

Which one sounds better?

Cripps probably holds his value, Neale has no chance but he's more likely to score more points. Tough one, losing 150k from the get go does set you back. I suppose if you need Dusty or Dunkley then it makes perfect sense, parity with Neale not far away.

Hmm you're right there Bully. Maybe I'll just hold both and have a bit of faith and grab one or both of Jordon and Campbell.

Quote from: bkimm32 on March 28, 2021, 03:18:15 PM
I have a few things that need addressing and I’m trying to work on the order of importance.  I currently have it at:

1. Owning Dom Tyson and needing to trade
2. Owning Heppell
3. Not owning Jordon
4. Owning Neale 
5. Owning Fullarton and not owning Flynn
6. Not owning Tex

With only 2 trades I need to some how correct as many of these as possible.

Got a lot of thinking to do.

tyson>jordon,  fullarton>flynn to maximise cash gen.   heppell wont change price and can trade next week

Already have both Martin/Dunkley to be honest. The only premo I don’t have is Oliver  at the moment that I wouldn’t mind is Oliver (I went Gawn/Flynn in rucks).

Nailed all the rookies part from Jordon. Option 3 added.

1. Most likely Dow to Impey and Bruhn to Jordon.

2. Or could miss out on Impey and do Dow to Jordon and Cripps to Boak, but would mean I still have Bruhn.

3. Dow to Tex and Bruhn to Jordon.

Thoughts?

I'd be tempted by option 3. Tex's next 4 opponents are Suns, Roos, Freo and Hawks so his scoring could very well continue for a few weeks of he maintains some of his current form. I'm tossing up whether to bring him in myself, my only trade option for him would be Daniher

Yeah exactly why I'm thinking of bringing him in. Giants at home in Round 7 too. Would be excellent cash generation and can easily upgrade to fwd premo in 5-6 weeks time.

I think Daniher will struggle vs the Pies backs this week, Doggies next. A couple of tough games coming up. If Joey is your only option, then I would trade him imo. He's proj. to only go up $23k if he scores 62 (projected) and there's definitely no certainty to get that.

Yeah Option 3 for mine too - getting the rookies correct is the main priority of this round, so dumping Dow and Bruhn makes sense to me

Geez that Tex next 4 is damn tempting

Jordan Clark and Joe Daniher are the only 2 guys I have that I can actually trade, so I'd need to trade Clark to a rookie such as Giro/Lazzaro and then turn Daniher into Tex

It's tempting, but just not sure it's good use of 2 trades

You're in good position RD and you have nailed your rookies, so I would hold if I were you. Clark has been ok so far and still has money to make. If you had the cash to go Joey to Tex, I'm sure you would, but I'm not sure it's worth 2 trades just to get Tex in.

My exact thoughts too Tommy

Joe to Tex in 1 trade I would certainly do, but using 2 trades, and dropping Clark does seem like a fair bit

Will mull it over, because it might cost a bit from that perspective, but it will likely net me more points and cash so have to weigh that up

Haven't used any trades so far got all the rookies except McDonald and can live without him but do have Duggan stinking it up who unless gets a monster score will start losing $$$ and Dow so I'm thinking cash generation Duggan to Howard or maybe Cumming both to make some nice cash and Dow to sexy Texy ? team going good ranked 608 but don't trust Duggan in current role and thinking Dow could be dropped after a couple of losses but won't see till 5 games have been played which rules out these trades any ideas ?

Already got him that's the problem have all the good cheap rookies only McDonald to expensive Bruhn potato and Fullarton potato I don't have and a couple of others that I don't want to waste a trade on.

Caldwell and Jones leaving the side.

Looking at getting 2 of: Warner, Jordon, Impey. Leaning towards Jordon and Warner at this stage for cash gen. Tex also an option but would prefer not to.

Solid trades

So far the one trade I did last round has been good, Danger to Brayshaw (a bit of a POD and have cash to spare).

The only rookie I missed out on was Jordon, so might do Dow or Fullarton to Jordon.

The other one I am thinking of bringing in is Tex (using some of the cash from the Danger trade).

I am keeping Neale. He will come good eventually and want to hold onto trades as much as I can and playing for leagues.

Settled on my trades pending team announcements:

Tyson > Tex
Fullarton > Flynn

Holding Heppell (Essendon BF board seem to think he will be back) and Neale for now. Neale will almost become a unique after this round (well not unique, but he’s going to drop up to 50% of ownership probably), while he will leak some cash hopefully he comes out and bangs on a 150+

Sucks I miss out on Jordon, I should have traded in Flynn last week, but oh well, I think the scoring potential of Walker and Flynn outweigh Jordon.

I'm pretty happy with my team, but think I will still use both trades.

Phillips to Tex and Scott to Jordon the only rookie I feel I missed out on.  Will pass on Rowe as the only other decent rookie I missed.

If you're only playing for leagues, I would ditch Neale. I'm playing mostly for league, but still keen on trying to PB overall, and I'm going to drop him.

Neale > Jordon and Fullarton > Walker for me. Will miss out on Warner but I've got all the other rookies I think are worth going for at this stage.

Neale to Jordon is a risk I know, Neale will come right and will almost certainly make it back into my team, but Neale could very realistically drop to ~600k in the next 3 rounds, and Jordon could climb to 300k, at that point you're banking 300k if you swap now and back again later. Yeah trades are golden but that 300k could be a double upgrade of Tex/Impey/Ziebell - 4 trades for 3 keepers is worth it IMO.

The opposite to that.   If you are going for league, better to keep early trades for long term injuries only.

Phillips got 90 last week and had 24 touches this week.  At 400k he's not going to lose much and has dpp.
   Not sure I would do any of those trades, but Cripps makes you the most coin. 250k odd ? Can't remember prices.

Early thoughts
Briggs to Jordon and Jones to Tex

Early thoughts
Briggs to Jordon and Jones to Tex
Or
Dow to Jordon Daniher to Butters

Either first option is good, jordon a must. Butters only good if he's a keeper (probably is) Tex good as a cash cow no matter what happens short of injury.

Seems I have 3 options

1) Jordan Clark & Joe Daniher to Stefan Giro & Tex Walker.
Tex has a pretty nice fixture coming up so should at least match or outscore Joe plus make a heap of cash, while Joe has a tough draw

2) Andy McGrath (My Rowell replacement from last round) & Jordan Clark to Isaac Heeney & Tex Walker
Only just picked up McGrath and still think he should be good enough for M8 at worst, but there's a chance I might have got it wrong and he might not be, plus the Dons are smashed with injuries so it's only gonna get tougher for him, where as Heeney should be good enough as a forward keeper plus I get Tex

3) Hold, no trades, pass on Tex

I've got all the rookies I want, so Round 3 is the round to make corrections, and from that viewpoint I'm tempted to go with Option 2 as I maintain the same number of keepers in my side by sideways trading McGrath to Heeney, but I get Tex and his cash gen too so it's just the cost of 2 trades which is the downside, but the potential upside of Heeney as a keeper and Tex + his cash seems like it may be worth it?

It also moves Rowe from F6 to F7 too (And brings Highmore on ground from D7 to D6)

Might have convinced myself to go with it

Quote from: RaisyDaisy on March 29, 2021, 09:22:48 PM
Seems I have 3 options

1) Jordan Clark & Joe Daniher to Stefan Giro & Tex Walker.
Tex has a pretty nice fixture coming up so should at least match or outscore Joe plus make a heap of cash, while Joe has a tough draw

2) Andy McGrath (My Rowell replacement from last round) & Jordan Clark to Isaac Heeney & Tex Walker

Everything makes sense with the Heeney/Tex trades, think you are in a strong position with trades to get some more rookies off the field & make money. Be aggressive now & worry about trades when you dip below 10. With the strong batch of rookies coming through upgrading won't be too tricky, just need a bit of sauce from the bench.

Bringing in Warner and Jordan as rookie correctional trades. Who goes for those 2?


Daniher, Scott, Fullarton, McNeill, Bergman??

I think Cripps has to go after news he is playing injured

God damn it, you guys are convincing me to get Tex.  ::)

Scott & McNeill play early which might help make a decision. I would also keep an eye on the OMac injury. If he misses a couple it could def help Fullartons scoring. If Omac gets up I would trade Full & whichever of the 2 bullies gets dropped (surely JJ gets a look in this week?)

I don't normally trade out "premos" , but I feel I made a mistake on getting Cripps.

So for me it's Cripps to Butters and Cox to Tex

I’m resisting mate.
If Tex scores 70-80s his cash generation is limited to say 100k and plateaus.
He isn’t a keeper and I got left holding Viney last year as I had other trades to do.
I can get Butters for Phillips who I see as a keeper at his bottom end price so don’t see the need for Tex who would necessitate another trade.

Yeah I got stuck with Viney too, so I wont' be doing it.

I think I've settled on Daniher and Phillips to Jordon and Dunkley, gets me 1 more keeper and cash generation.  Aggressive move, but that's all for me for awhile until injuries or rookies fatten up.

I’m getting Jordon with my other trade as he’s the rookie I missed. Thought his JS was suspect but Viney is back and Jordon looks safe playing as he is.
Dunkley is a great trade for Phillips. I’ve already got him.

Quote from: crowls on March 26, 2021, 12:59:39 AM
Was hoping to avoid correction trades but watching carlton tonight has Cripps at the front of the queue for me.    Possibly into titch, brayshaw, ldu or dunkley.   Will sleep on it and see what the rest of the round brings.   


Jordon > any rookie that is dropped next week.

Cripps is dead to me.    Josh Dunkley F1 this week
Jones>Jordon


Was ready the rookie thread and it struck me that Sharp being dropped might be a cash gen issue I will have to fix this week.   Bergman probably the only player rookie likely for a replacement and his JS is shakey as well.   Might put Sharp D8 and Clark into the mids and stick with above trades until we get a option to replace sharp.   Dont need loophole as Danger is on the pine for 2 more weeks.   Going to go see if there are any def/ruc options.   


Hopefully that is it until Rd5 when Hunter becomes Treacy.    Never quite works out that way but a man with a plan is better than a man without a plan.

Not sure how or why you can compare Viney to Tex?

Viney was 440k, and honestly, if you picked him at that price you should have only done so if you thought he could turn into a keeper

440k is a not a cash cow - I'd argue it's not even a stepping stone - that's like getting Taranto for 450k this year - to be a keeper

298k is a stepping stone / cash cow

Tex will make just as much as a good rookie, while having no JS issues and the ability to score

I was planning on going fullarton > Flynn

It’s looking like mcinerny may miss a week for Brisbane, giving fullarton #1 ruck duties. Which makes me want to keep fullarton in the hope he pumps out a 85+ And gets the money making rolling

If I pass on Flynn i can get Jordon instead (my other trade is already used - so can’t have both)

Am I crazy? Someone tell me I’m crazy.

I changed my mind, going to go;-

Cripps to Short and Daniher to Tex

Trade 1 - Duggan to Short.

Picked Duggan thinking he was a potential cheap D6 but he hasn't worked out as I hoped

Trade 2 - Fullarton to Tex
Fullarton may get a few more games but I can't see him making much money. He will get some ruck minutes now but didn't look any good against the cats in that position either. Tex will make a lot of money and also allows me to get Rowe to D7.

Yep. I would make either one of those trades if you have all the key rookies already.

Do you have Daniher?  I'm trading Daniher to Jordon and upgrading Phillips.

Had a complete about face about Tex just thinking one low score this week could derail his cash income and GC have some decent DEF's and I'm sure he will get some more attention after 2 massive weeks I'm ranked in the 600's think I will just trust the team I started with NO TRADES unless some unforeseen outs.

dow to jordon - lock that in.

cripps to impey or walker I agree with, removes a player who is not looking like a top 6 mid over the season who is about to start losing money and brings in a cash cow , whic his what i see impey and walker as.

He was a stepping stone. Never wanted him as a keeper. Wanted the cash grab and trade to a fallen or more proven premium. Injuries and priorities meant I got stuck with him. Simple.
Tex is the same. A stepping stone. You don’t want him as a keeper as a Key forward who will throw up the occasional 40/50 scores. If he does that sooner rather than later your cash cow ain’t earning that much cash.
Pass for me.
Jordon and Butters will do just fine.

Although i agree that those players are good trade ins, having 400k in bank will result in many lost points. If your only going for leagues then go ahead, otherwise you should consider getting a premo such as Walsh/Brayshaw for cripps.

I was going for Butters as well earlier, but I was concerned what impact Rozee will have on him.  I read that Rozee is due to return this round.

Thoughts on these trades?

Neale to Dusty, Jones to Tex.

Allows me to get in a top 2 forward, not have to field rowe, get rid of jones and a potentially good cash cow.

Otherwise i could go Neale to Titch and bank the cash or just dont do any trades.

I got caught in the early season jack darling hype a couple years ago. he came out and kicked a couple bags to start the year, traded him in thinking he would be good for a 90 average and then he went on to score in the 60s for the rest of the season.

I’m the same, I was caught in the hype early but the boys from Supercoach Coach put it nicely; the first 2 round scores mean the least of all during the season. 1st week score counts to only one price cycle, 2nd week counts to two price cycles. In the schemes of things the risk is too high, one avg to poor score early and the cash gen halts significantly. It will be a pass from me.

Here's my 2 cents re. Tex.

If you are taking off a prem mid like Neale it makes perfect sense if this upgrades Jones or another burnt rookie, can't go wrong in my opinion. It's a quick 70k in the pocket at worst, at best he kicks a bag on the weekend and we're marching to 450k.

Would I want him replacing Cripps? Probably not at this stage, this is where points start to leak & your hand is forced if things don't go to plan.

Was all for Tex but I can also afford going Butters who was in my team as F2 until it became Martin. I'm not mad at all but I still see Butters a strong chance of being top 6.

He's in. Sorry Tex. Having faith in the cows I have and will be patient. It's a marathon not a sprint.

I’d be surprised.
Rozee has played 40 games with maybe a quarter of those as 100+ SC games.
Butters will play mid with time forward regardless of Rozee being in or out.
People overthinking. Have read this elsewhere too.
If you think Butters is worth it just pick him.
Dunkley Macrae and Bont seem to be doing alright with Treloar atm. A case in point.

Looking at the forwards so far after Dunkley Martin Danger there's not a lot banging down the door.

Backing my initial gut decision he's in!

I'm bring in Warner for A.Scott cos I reckon he'll be dropped soon. Then, I'm torn between dumping Taranto or Dow for Impey.

Do I stick by Taranto in hope he pulls his finger out, or do I dump him to get some cash in the kitty?

I'll have $398k if I dump Taranto vs $144k if I dump Dow.

Taranto still an outside chance to be a keeper so I'd give him another week. Dow to Impey a little sideways but if this is about fielding a stronger candidate then I would choose Impey every day of the week.

I'm leaning towards the Dow trade. It's more about cash generation. Dow won't make THAT much cash, and his JS is a little iffy. Impey has rock solid JS and looks like he'll make more cash.

I have changed my mind about Neale and will keep him now. Was going to trade him to Dunkley, but I don't want to have to go in search of the $$$$ to get him back in later.

The only rookie I don't have is Jordon, so it's a no-brainer trade.

I think Phillips was a mistake and I can't see him being top 8-10 forward, so I am going to turn him into Dunkley.

I keep Neale, get Jordon and upgrade Phillips to Dunkley.

Gonna do Tyson to Warner and H.Young to D.Moore.  Was thinking of doing Moore next week but feel against spud Daniher another ton and big price rise.

Smart trades IMO but who do you drop for Jordon?

To have the cash, I have to drop Dow or Daniher to have enough cash for Dunkley and I'm going to drop Dow.

I have changed my mind about Neale and will keep him now. Was going to trade him to Dunkley, but I don't want to have to go in search of the $$$$ to get him back in later.

The only rookie I don't have is Jordon, so it's a no-brainer trade.

Seems pretty logical dropping Dow as I’m cutting him too most likely for Tex.

I ended up going with Neale to Ridley and Sharp to Jordon. I cut the dead weight in Sharp and was able to get in a defensive keeper that is going to go up in price. That's my two correction trades done and it's left me with 185k in the kitty to play with.

It was looking the complete opposite at HT (https://www.eaglesmessageboard.com/uploads/emoticons/default_laugh.png)

The trades need to be aggressive to catch up. The base of my team isn't bad but Neale was a bit of a make or break. Hindsight says I should have gone Neale to Jordon and Hunter to Grundy  :-X

I forgot you didn't have Grundy, hopefully Gawn weaves a bit of magic. Looking like Grawndy the winning formula yet again.

Thoughts on these trades?

1. Jones to Tex (play Kozzie) (Jones is named though)
2. Bergman to Tex (as not named
3. Wait till Monday teams to see if Kozzie is playing (can move Clark to D6 next week). If not named get in CJ.

With Bergman and Highmore being dropped it has completed changed what I was planning on doing.

I think your 3rd option. Kosi could be out this week and I’ll be in the same boat, no D6.

My entire trade plan to bring in Warner has to be looked at as I might need to upgrade Highmore to CJ.

I'd still be tempted to dump Jones but at least he will get a price rise. In that case I'd do the Bergman to Tex move

With the rookie carnage you have to keep the guy with decent JS

With Stringer coming in it probably keeps him safe, having said that neither team is running with a legitimate ruck this week and that has saved Jones. If Bryan plays it's one of Waterman/Jones that's out. I'd still get the price rise where I can this week with Jones and dump him ASAP

Thanks everyone. I went Bergman to Tex. Bergman may find it hard to get regular games with Jones and Bonner to still make their way into the side. At least Jones is playing. I think Kosi should play and if not ill just cop a donut. I can move clark back next week at D6 if needed.

Glad you got Tex in?

Thank flower I picked Tex over Jordon (could still be wrong)

Did anyone choose not to bring Tex in?

Yup. Couldn't get him in since I was missing Jordon and had more pressing needs.

Yeah I backed out luckily with Sharp already out now Highmore and have seen a bit of chatter about Clark as well and Kosi playing Monday might need both my trades to avoid donuts.

Jordan Clark? I'd be pretty shocked if he was an out. Rohan is out for the debutant and I'd say Constable for Duncan will be the other change

Tex just threw a dagger into my heart, now in the awkward position of maybe having to trade him in. Backed Sammy Collins to get the job done & that hasn't eventuated.

Tex has made too much cash already after tonight. You jumped on this week or don't bother

Quote from: Mat0369 on April 02, 2021, 11:30:30 PM

He will 383k, not too late.

I'm trying to rationalise here, I've lost 83k but probably gain 20k from Ridley. 63k down but not the end of the world.

At 383k you want him to be a keeper in the forward line. Yes he could be an option for F6 and has North next week, but even in his best season he would throw up some spud scores. I can't see his scoring being sustainable and you're going to have to probably sacrifice a premium to get him in

It all comes down to Taranto, another spud score and he's out.

But with Bruce kicking 10 I shudder to think what he will do to North, 500k looking obtainable.

As for being a keeper, this is clearly the year of the power forward, the fact he's also picking up huge possession tallies makes him a viable option.

What $$ will Tex increase by after this score?

According to Too Serious he will be 383k, still on the cheapish side.

I think he was scheduled to make about 80k

Just a bit of chatter on SCC discord don't know if much truth to it but we are talking about Chris Scott hey I didn't think Highmore would be dropped.

Highmore was always fighting for a spot with Carlisle though. I'd say it's purely match up based for him.

The too serious calculator is out of date.

I’m pretty sure he’ll rise 110k to 408K.

At 408k that pretty much tells you it has to be a no. At that price in the forward line he has to be a keeper

I think Neale will have to go unfortunately... As for Tex, if you didn't jump on before this round then you're too late - he's not a keeper.

I don't think he hits 400k. Where are these numbers coming from?

If Tooserious is wrong (which wouldn't surprise me) and MontyJnr is right he is sitting at about 400k.

I'm just looking at the forward line and the available options, Tex may actually be a keeper.

Dunkley and Dusty are the two must haves. Both will average over 100 comfortably. Danger will be in that basket come the end of the season. I think Zorko sits the bracket under but is a top 6 option. Hawkins had an awful round 1 and a nice bounce back game so he will be up there.

The other two that would have been popular in the preseason are Marshall and Sidebottom. Marshall has the hotspot in his foot and may be slow to get going. Sidebottom appears to be playing more forward and it's hurting his scoring.

JZ is playing like a keeper, Heeney appears to have bounced back but the Swans won both games and he has kicked 3 goals in each of them. Butters has been the touted break out guy.

A couple of injury prone guys that are generally up there as well are Walters and Toby Greene.

So that's 13 guys including Walker

Tier 1 (proven elite)

Dunks
Dusty
Danger

Tier 2 (second tier elite)

Zorko
Hawkins

Tier 3 (bounceback/breakout)

Butters
Heeney
JZ
Tex

Tier 4 (injured/role change)

Sidebottom
Marshall
Walters
Greene

Assuming most coaches get all three of the tier one guys at some point, have 1 from tier two and 2 from tier three you're probably not going to be behind the 8ball with him as your F5/F6

Under these new rules the KP guys come back into the spotlight, heaps more 1 on 1 contests, more tired legs. Tex is covering a lot of turf and his team are looking for him. His price is also going up, hard one to pass on if Taranto stuffs up.

I'm not knocking myself over the head with overlooking him, thought the backline was a dead set priority & still is, patching that up comes first. But as far as finding a cheap keeper he may be handy, even if he spanks North & then stops you walk away with 100k.

The Texan! Glad I got on

Just to settle it, he was projected to score 98 which would have resulted in a $93.9k price increase taking him to $392.1k

He scored 130, so he's gonna be well and truly over 400k - the ship has sailed, you had to get him this week

408k with a -33 BE according to Brice Mitchell

He made 93K if he hit a score of 98 and I always calculate it at $440 a point and that puts him at $407K + seems right to me.

In a situation now with Highmore dropped, Sharp not playing and Kosi an unknown for selection and plays on Monday...

DEF: Lloyd, Laird, Daniel, Stewart, Clark, Koschitzke (Highmore, Sharp)

I have 207k and I've only used the 1 trade so far. I could always just wait to see if Kosi gets named and if not get Jiath. If he does, I could leave him but then that leaves me with 3 fringe players and Clark. Idk whether to play it safe and use my cash now to get rid of Highmore or Kosi and get someone like Jiath, Cumming or Young who are going to make money..

Hate these 24hr notice of teams as we will not know about Kosi till tomorrow probably not before the Catlton Freo match so probably no opportunity to change.

I have not traded as yet this week and probably will not and risk a donut should Kosi be out.On the bright side got the unexpected VC loophole with Highmore.

Cox could be an option for you EA should you wish at $175k.

Right, Too Serious has to be ditched because that's 30k out of whack & has played a part in my decision making. My own fault but l may have to look at SC Gold because I can't have figures so wildly distorted when weighing things up.

Back on Tex, he's now the top forward & is 408k & still has a negative BE. What do people think he will average from here? Or at least the next 3 games?

Thanks everyone. I went Bergman to Tex. Bergman may find it hard to get regular games with Jones and Bonner to still make their way into the side. At least Jones is playing. I think Kosi should play and if not ill just cop a donut. I can move clark back next week at D6 if needed.

Glad i went with those trades. Tex achieved above expectations and Jones finally scored a goal and did alright because the dons won. I am on track for 2300 if Kosi plays.
