Not sure where i'll go with trades
Doedee and finlayson nearly maxed out.
Would love to grab macrae but crouch at a low price hard to ignore
Some variation of:
Finlayson and Banfield/Christensen to Yeo/Crouch and Spargo/Ronke
Murray and Richards to Ronke & Simmo/McLean/Witherden hopefully.

Nope. Currently under consideration.
Looking like Banfield will be the rookie to get downgraded for one of the 80 million rookies on the bubble. Hopefully Spargo goes well today.
Week after I think English will go for that bloke at the Gold Coast who claims he's 18.
As for premos.. I can't decide if I should go with Macrae this week & Crouch next or Crouch this week & Clarry next. I can probably afford to wait a week with Crouch, so likely JackMac as long as he isn't too pricey.
Thinking
Banfield>Spargo
Holman>Crouch
Bundy > Ronke
Finlayson > Danger
Gotta stockpile some cash to go English to Grundy ASAP
Naughton > Spargo (via Sicily)
Barry > Mutch
Would love to get rid of Garlett/Barry for Ronke, but would leave 3 FWD/MIDS + Finlay in mids with a very weak forward line
Billings -> Ronke
Armitage -> Crouch
I will defs trade petracca cost me my league games ha
I'm sorry but if you're trading Dusty, you're an idiot.
Think I'm trading out Finlayson + Banfield.
Sadly still have to hold Billings. I still think he has a better chance (::)) to produce a bigger score than either Finlayson + Banfield.
Billings - Spargo is 100% locked
Not sure on the second trade could be either:
Petracca-Sicily/Mclean/Gray or Heeney...depending on there prices
Holman-Crouch
Petracca to anybody at this point
Walters > McLean
Holman > Crouch/
Already got Spargo in for Banfield. Looked great again today.
Leaves around 300k for more upgrades.
Billings - Spargo
Banfield - Crouch
Billings for a happy meal and I’ll play with 21 on the field

Absolutely! If he kicked straight today he goes 120+
His field kicking was poor too. Still looks really dangerous and ready to explode any moment.
Had a lean patch the same time last year. Now would be the time to jump on if anything

Maybe. But if Macrae keeps pumping out 120+ scores and Dusty keeps playing fwd and scoring 85-95 it would be a great move.
Not saying i'll do it, I have bigger issues, but I can see the argument for it. Time will tell.
Hopefully Dusty and Danger can get more mid time and/or kick more goals or owners are gonna be peed off with Scott and Dimma.
Lots of tongue in cheek being missed re Dusty
Could be a double down by grabbing Ronke AND Spargo

Yeah I thought the smiley face gave it away
Plus it was posted when he was on 10 late in the first
Gonna do:
Holman > Spargo
And then 1 of:
Banfield > Crouch
Naughton/Doedee > Appleby
Waterman/Fritsch > Ronke

In the eleven games prior to his 50 (hammy issues) vs Hawks - has tonned up in all 11 games

Want to go Christo>Mclean but thinking the double downgrade with Ronke might be the go seeing that none of the new rookies looked any good this week

Well, who doesn't love a golden shower
Banfield to Spargo
Finlayson to anyone, Macrae/Danger/Oliver?
JPK & Ronke most likely, looks like I'm keeping Billings for another week.
I really want to upgrade my FWDs but none of my rookies are moo-ing yet...
Stuck with Heeney, Smith, Petracca, Billings, Henry, Langdon + Fritsch.
I know I can trade someone like Billings, but I would get more out of trading rookie to premium on another line.
Finlayson + Stephenson to Macrae + Ronke (via Sicily) is looking likely, but will have to field 2 rookies and a billings in the fwd line
PEnding teams if it's a double down or down/up, but Banfield and Finlayson out, Spargo and one of Ronke/Macrae/Crouch in. Probably SparCrae and then grab Crouch next week, shouldn't go up too much...
Will await team announcements and injury reports but one down to Spargo or Ronke on the cards. If Bont still out then will trade to his partner in Crime Macrae who appears to be a must have.
Billings out. Don’t care who for, but I know it’ll be a weight off my shoulders.
Didn’t even play forward really this week and still puts out that.
I'm thinking - Fogarty & Finlayson to Ronke & Macrae. Glad I took Spargo early
Got Spargo early, so Billingspud to Ronke and Murray to Crouch via Finlayson. Gives me 7 mid premos. Petrecca and Goldspud survive another day...

Just traded to Mitchell, felt good
Stephenson and Finlayson out McLean and Ronke in leaves me with 20 trades and 270k in the bank with this side
Laird Yeo Hibberd Doedee Murray Naughton (Mirra Murphy)
Fyfe Danger Cripps TMitch Dusty Oliver T.Kelly Spargo (Holman Banfield Fogerty)
Gawn Goldy (English)
Heeney McLean Sicily Dahlhause Fritsch Ronke (ZGL Guelfi)
Got Spargo already.
Thinking
Crowden to Ronke
Billings to Deledio
Banfield -> Ronke
Pootracca -> Macrae
And feels wonderful.
Wish I had a crystal ball to know if Dorko is back to what he was the last two years and will average 110 per game the rest of the way home, because if he can then he's a ridiculous steal at $425k.
First trade. Finlayson to Ronke via Sicily.
Second Trade Undecided.
Garlett to McLean
Garlett to M.Crouch
Banfield to Danger

Lycett to Grundy

Without seeing rest of your team,
I'd say Banfield > Crouch gives best value and points combination.
Garlett needs one good score to make cash and the way Essendon are playing this week could be the week.
Danger isn't a must yet and will hopefully drop below 600 k.
Lycett I'm so peeved I didn't stick with him in my starting side,well done for picking him. Average 80 so trading him doesn't net you as much points as trading Banfield average 60 although not sure which rookie you're replacing on field.
If you had to pick one of these guys to bring in this week who would it be
DEF
Simmo or Hurn
FWD
Robbo, Hogan or Devon
I know Simmo has a highish BE but he is the most proven of that lot, but his BE and Carlton's tough run concern me a little

Wouldn't be worried about Simmo's tough run, it means the ball's gonna be down his end of the ground more often than not. Saw what happened R1 against the premiers. If anything I'd say it means he scores more.

I'm worried buddy's injury is gonna persist throughout the whole year. Walters will be my cheap buy up fwd returning from injury. Gray hopefully after his bye if I've planned my upgrades right. Menegoat happy to pass on for now.
I'll be looking at Simmo next week though.

Simmo for me too. Hurn's scoring can be affected by injuries to those around him ... cause he's more likely to be used to fill holes. That's an added layer of risk.
Sorry can't advise from the Forwards proposed.
I'm in the same boat up forward as RD though. So I'm looking at Gray 1st.
Have juuuust enough to go Doedee and Billings to Macrae and Spargo.
Otherwise I can easily go Christensen + Finlayson to Yeo/Crouch and Spargo.
Get the feeling this decision could make or break my season.

I like Doedee and Billings more than Bundy and Finlayson. The only reason to go #2 is in the hope of grabbing the inevitable 150 point haul from Yeo ... while waiting for Macae's 189 to roll out of his average.
... but in your position Option 1 makes a lot more sense.
Macrae has a better bye than Mouch and becomes another good VC choice.

Tough one ... if all 3 miss in 2 weeks you might be forced into upgrading to B grader due to lack of funds.
Unless you have/upgrade to Sicily up forward for cover ... I'd look at Crouch or JPK and get Macrae next when the 189 rolls out of his average.

Have sicily in my backline already. If mirra isnt named this week i will go safe with option 1 so i wont have either duman or keefe at d6
Billings - Spargo is 100% locked.
The other trade is out of the following:
Fritsch - Mclean
JOM - Macrae
Petracca - Heeney/Gray
Holman - Mclean/Crouch

Seeing as you're down a "premium" (a premium position at least) I would upgrade rather than trade a Petracca.
JOM is a week to week proposition for me. He just scored 106 and 145 not long ago. He deserves another week at least imo.
Fritsch still has that 90 in rolling avg and should make decent coin this week even with a 60.
So Holman > McLean/Crouch for mine.
English > Spargo
Finlayson > M.Crouch via via Coffield
Now have M.Crouch at M7 and T.Kelly at M8.
Also Sicily at F5.
Simpson at D3.
Yeo will be coming into my team next week and I will only have 4 rookies left on the field then (Doedee/Murray, T.Kelly, Higgins and Spargo) 8)
Richards - Ronke and Murray to crouch via some dope ass dpp
Currently sits at:
Finlayson out, Sicily back, Ronke in.
Holman out, Spargo to mids, McLean in.
Looking at a couple of options this week.
either a double downgrade
Finlayson to Spargo
English to Ronke/Mutch
But have Pendles and Walters so could be fielding the extra two rookies.
So also looking at
Finlayson to Yeo
English/Murray to Spargo
Options options
Trade 1 -
Move Sicily back
Murray > Ronke
Holman > Mclean
Trade 2
Finlayson > Ronke
Holman > M Crouch
Trade 3
Z Fisher > Ronke
Murray > Dangerfield
I like option 2, but only leaves me with one spot left to upgrade in the mids, so only one spot left for Danger and already have Kelly in at M8 playing well. Option 1 gets me in McLean before he starts becoming too expensive. Trade 3 probably brings me in the best player, but Z Fisher has been a pretty good player and still has cash to make.
Thanks for any help.
Skipping the fwd and mid rookies on the bubble.

Can u do option 2 but trade Murray instead?
Leaning towards a double downgrade this week: Christensen and Banfield to Spargo and Ronke. Only because there doesn't seem to be many good rookies on the horizon.
Will depend on team announcements of course.

Gotta stockpile some cash to go English to Grundy ASAP
Naughton > Spargo (via Sicily)
Barry > Mutch
Would love to get rid of Garlett/Barry for Ronke, but would leave 3 FWD/MIDS + Finlay in mids with a very weak forward line
With English out in my Rucks i need cull more expensive rookies to get Grundy this week. No point getting a cheaper ruck just to use another trade to get Grundy later on.
Finlayson to Spargo
Doedee to Grundy (via Sicily and English)
I'm not happy trading Doedee out this early + I have to field Naughton, but thats the only place I'd lose points, and probably gain 50-60 by playing Grundy in the rucks. Trading hard to stay within the top 1k
Reckon I might actually double down and grab both Ronke and Mutch
Murray and Billings to Mitchell and Spatgo
I need to do 1 of:
Waterman > Ronke, which gets me 150k but Waterman has great JS and still a BE of 30 so has more growth.
Holman > Mutch, which gets me 150k but Holman has great JS and could rise some more.
or Barry > Mutch, only gets 60k which is annoying, but I doubt Barry will get another chance, plus he is looking terrible.
Thoughts? (my other trade this week is Banfield > Spargo)
Hey coaches, I'm in a spot of trouble as NicNat is out and so is English who was my R3, so I'm looking at a donut... I was planning to bring in MAcrae/Crouch and Spargo this week for Banfield/Finlayson, my season is already pretty shot but I'm in ok standing in my cash league, pretty tempted to just stick with those trades and eat a donut. Macrae/Spargo this week, Crouch next week. Or, I could trade English to Crossley for one week of cover...
I would actually go McInerney over Crossley simply because he will make cash this week for you and should stay in ourside for a while and make a bit of cash for you.
Does the double down of English to McInerney and a to Spargo give you enough cash for the double upgrade next week.
Worth straight swapping m7 Coniglio > Crouch or hold a week or 2 until my mid 8 Kelly makes a bit more cash before getting a Crouch...?
Also wtf is the go with buddy when is he due back?
Richards - Spargo (via Sicily)
Banfield - Crouch
Allows me to get Holman off the ground and with Guelfi still out I can see how ZGL is going for 25 minutes before deciding whether to bench Billings! If he is 20+ points at that stage I might take it..
Actually going a double down this week and praying Franklin is back next week.
Gartlett > Appleby
Crowded > Ronke
Leaves me 300k to go bananas with next week.
I've made up my mind to go Billings -> Ronke because I've had enough and Ronke looks like he'll hold his spot for a little while and is scoring well. Doing this leaves me fielding Ronke/Fritsch/Gowers with ZGL/Guelfi on my bench (McLean, Dev and Hogan as premos).
I'm pondering whether it's worth going Finlayson -> Hurley. Doing this gives me Laird, Hurley, Simpson, Howe, Witherden and then Murray/Doedee/Naughton.
Other options would be:
Crowden -> JPK
Lyons -> Danger
I feel like Crowden has a bit more cash to make and Danger should drop to nearly or below 600k which would then be an ideal time to grab him.
That's why I'm leaning towards Finlayson -> Hurley.
Have come down to these 3 options this week for trading:
Current forward line is decimated, need to fix this up before i worry about anything else.
Buddy Smith, Petracca, Billings Fritsch, Higgins, ZGL, Guelfi
Trade 1:
Buddy & Billings - R Gray & Spargo
Make 200k out of this and start fixing my team
Trade 2:
Billings & Holman - McLean & Spargo
Keep Buddy but only allows me to have 17k
Trade 3:
Buddy & Holman - R Gray & Spargo
Make 102k out of this

I'm in the same dilemma mate. Holding Billings because a) he will eventually get back to scoring consistent 90s I'm sure of it and b) at worst he becomes f7, his value is too low to trade right now. I dont think he goes much lower.
So its buddy who is on the trade table for me. But issues are there too... first of all if he comes back next week then it's basically a wasted trade... PLUS all the other options will drop in the next couple weeks (heeney, gray) I am heavily considering Darling but I will only pull the trigger if I'm confident buddy misses at least another 2... which I'm not

Have come down to these 3 options this week for trading:
Current forward line is decimated, need to fix this up before i worry about anything else.
Buddy Smith, Petracca, Billings Fritsch, Higgins, ZGL, Guelfi
Trade 1:
Buddy & Billings - R Gray & Spargo
Make 200k out of this and start fixing my team
Trade 2:
Billings & Holman - McLean & Spargo
Keep Buddy but only allows me to have 17k
Trade 3:
Buddy & Holman - R Gray & Spargo
Make 102k out of this

In my opinion the Saints are finished and so is Billings, been holding onto him for way to long. Thing with Buddy is, he might not even get up to play next week, its the risk you take. Same thing happened with Josh Kelly, i traded him after he missed his second game and 3 weeks later he's still out.
Getting rid of the spuds in my forward line this week.
Petracca - Gray
Billings - Spargo
$300k to splash around with next week

Do you have Buddy?

I've made up my mind to go Billings -> Ronke because I've had enough and Ronke looks like he'll hold his spot for a little while and is scoring well. Doing this leaves me fielding Ronke/Fritsch/Gowers with ZGL/Guelfi on my bench (McLean, Dev and Hogan as premos).
I'm pondering whether it's worth going Finlayson -> Hurley. Doing this gives me Laird, Hurley, Simpson, Howe, Witherden and then Murray/Doedee/Naughton.
Other options would be:
Crowden -> JPK
Lyons -> Danger
I feel like Crowden has a bit more cash to make and Danger should drop to nearly or below 600k which would then be an ideal time to grab him.
That's why I'm leaning towards Finlayson -> Hurley.
Fielding 3 forward rookies at this stage of the season is unbelievably weak IMO. If you must trade Billings, I'd suggest going up to Heeney/Sicily instead of down.
Ronke just doesn't fit into your side.

Billings just isn't scoring much better than the rookies anyway, plus at least someone like Ronke would give me some cash gen. I currently don't have the funds to upgrade Billings with a single trade, so I'd have to cull someone like Finlayson, Crowden or Holman for example to get him to a Heeney type.

You have already got forward cash gen coming from Gowers, Fritsch & ZGL though, who all have low breakevens. Adding Ronke to the mix just seems like overkill. Like what if Ronke gets dropped? Slim chance you would think, but we all thought that with Guelfi...
I would cull Holman to bring in Heeney.

If you're downgrading Billings it leaves your fwd line very weak.
You've already got 4 premium defenders and Finlayson/Doedee averaging 85 so I would try and get another fwd. You'll get more than twice the amount of points (100 Hurley 85 Finlayson 15 points, Fritsch 65 Gray 115 Heeney 106 40 - 50 points)
I know Fritsch has more cash to make but you could do this next week after another price rise.
Lyons is averaging 95 so I'd definitely wait for a Danger price drop there.
If u think JPK can keep it up Lyons > JPK would cost nothing, leaving cash for upgrade next week.
I don't know how u can be comfortable fielding 3 fwd rookies, 2 is too much for me.
Hi Guys,
I really need help this week....
Option 1: Billings and Holman out - Spargo and Danger in
Option 2: Billings and Holman out - Spargo and Heeny in
Option 3: Billings and Holman out - Spargo and Kennedy/Crouch in and bank the cash
Thanks all

If it works for your bye structure. Does not for me unfortunately.
Ok changed my mind for the 573638th time
Crowden > Ronke
Buddy > Sicily (make or break)
With 235k in the bank.
Since none of my other rookies are really ready to cull, bringing Sicily in for Buddy not only gives me solid FWD points, it allows me flexibility next week to upgrade either Doedee, Finlayson or Murray to a forward prem (likely Heeney once he drops) via Sicily depending on whoever plays worse out of the 3.
Hoping holding buddy for this long and finally deciding to trade now doesnt come back to bite me.
With some luck I can double up Doedee > Heeney and T.Kelly > M.Crouch next week although might be a little unlikely given only 235k in the bank now. Would need a lot to go right for that to happen.

Option 3
Finlayson > MCrouch @ M7 through Coffield DPP. Leaving TKelly as only mid rookie on field.
Billings > Hogan @ F4. Leaving 2 rookies on field @ F5 & F6.
Was contemplating Banfield/Crowden > Ronke for cash generation instead of the Billings > Hogan but unsure.
Which way would you go? Ronke gives cash Hogan gets rid of Billings.
Laird. Yeo. Savage. Doedee. Murray. Naughton. (Coffield. Keefe.)
Macrae. Fyfe. Titch. Dusty. Cripps. MCrouch. Cogs. Kelly. (Holman. Banfield. Crowden.)
Gawn. Goldy. (Olango.)
Heeney. McLean. Sicily. Billings. Fritsch. Spargo. (ZGL. Guelfi.)
Laird, hibberd, Finlayson, doedee, Murray naughton starting in the backline.
Sicily in forwards.
Banfield on my mid bench.
Looking at going;
Banfield to rookie, Finlayson to YEO.
Only 38k in the bank, any thoughts?
Ps. Already have spargo.

I've worked out that I can Billings -> Mutch and Crowden -> Sicily which I think sounds a lot better than my previous plan. The only issue is if Mutch gets Guelfi'd by the Bombers. If I do that, then I'm only fielding Fritsch/Gowers and get a definite scoring improvement of Sicily over Billings.

I did but already traded him. With no confirmed time frame on his return i gave him the flick
Who is everyone trading out of Murray and Finlayson first?
Quote from: Samsturmfels on May 11, 2018, 08:13:22 PM

Murray. I should have flicked him over Naughton last week. Hope he repays me with a decent score but he's just about maxed out unless he tonnes up.

Murray to Crouch 8) Finlayson back to def

I didn't get Ronke because of this.
Ronke :D :D :D
Hope everyone else missed the boat haha
Would you still get on Ronke at 180k?
Not too sure TBH.

I quoted this too, how good would've it been. :P
Would've given me an extra 80 points doing that over Petracca -> McLean with Fritsch coming on ground. :P
Dusty will come good, this is typical of his scoring.

Can’t really compare Martin to Billings though.. Martin has the runs on the board. Was tagged hard by Jacobs today

Billings isn't in the conversation when we're talking Dusty
Everyone has Dusty so I'm not fussed
Fair call, just thought it worth mentioning that it is possible for a form slump to drag on (and on...).
Like I said, don't expect it to for Martin though.
It's ridiculous seeing some of the greatest midfielders in the game playing so much time forward.
Dusty, Danger and Bont should be on the ball almost the whole game.
The teams are trying to spread the load and give others experience but my god it's annoying!
