$80k in bank for adjustments.
Played around to sort out structure - 12 keepers 3 mid pricers and rookies as place holders.
If enough rookies start rd 1 could downgrade upgrade mid pricers.
Rucks have gone a little cheaper as traditionally top scoring rucks are not top scoring the next.
2015 Jacobs
2016 Grundy
2017 Kreuzer
Martin and Goldstein average over 100 and comfortable with that and have the back up of the Hoff who has DPP.
Good structure.
Like the Neale pick, hopefully for your sake Zorko continues to attract first tag.
Greene a better fit for F4 than F3.
But the rucks! I know in recent history top rucks don't back it up, but I see Gawn and Grundy like Cox and Sandi back in the day. They are the best rucks by a long way.
Grundy in particular is like Cox getting link up midfield disposal numbers around the ground and hasn't anywhere near hit his peak. He will get better.
Gawn is in his prime, the Preuss factor the only turn off besides injury.
As someone who started Goldstein this year I just can't go there.
Martin in twilight of his career but still preferable to Goldy.
I'd go Grundy and Stef.
Nice starting point Ringo.
Was expecting Harris Andrews or Witherden down back though.
Gone with you on Stef but agree with ubeaut's point on Grundy and midfield disposal numbers...should stack up again.
As others have said, good starting side mate, gotta have Grundy though I reckon ;)
Not necessarily that you have to start Grundy, but you're starting two 'premo' rucks that aren't Grundy OR Gawn...could be giving up 20ppg there, and they'll always be in the category of "they're scoring 100+ so I wont upgrade them yet", and then R23 comes along... :P
Thanks Guys have reworked with Grundy and Stef as rucks. Means that I lose Greene in forward line though. Have put Lincoln McCarthy in at the moment.

With this change, your team is a good starting point before the pre season really begins.
Good team Ringo but gotta agree get some Grundy in there can't see his game changing much like the Neale pick , myself can't spend that much on the Hoff just for ruck cover but great start I'm sure it will change
Updated Team after doing some work and factoring byes in: (What else to do of a Saturday)
Famous last words but will sit on this team now and awaiting preseason.
Cameron I like bias maybe but prior to injury was amongst our best and scored 80+ in 6 of his first 10 games. If cash needed and Toby Greene goes ok may downgrade to Greene.
With having Hoff as ruck cover taking the risk on Kreuzer who according to reports training well.

Bye Structure
Rd 12 11
Rd 13 7
Rd 14 12 ( 7 rookies)
Like the structure 11 Keepers with Kreuzer, Cameron, Libba and Birchall possible as well. 82K left as well/
Really like this team.
Cameron for me is too big a risk as you would need him to be a keeper at that price which I don’t think is likely as there are a lot
Of good forwards to pick from this year.
Cameron to Greene
Ringo pls, get Charlie outta there hahaha
Ok Cameron to Greene leaving $108k for adjustments later.
Nice team Ringo
Much better with Greene back in your side
Apart from the two top rucks, Kreuzer would be the one that I would look at
Also thinking of dropping Westhoff for Dunkley and Kreuzer to Martin. No cash left though if I do that but have 2 set and forget rucks until the dreaded injury strikes. Only downside both share the rd 13 bye.

These are good moves Ringo. Dunkley lot more upside and high probability Westoff only goes hihg 80's without being around the ball as much. Problem with Martin and Goldy is inability to trade them for Gawn if he avgs 120+ as we expect. Kreuzer will either be scoring high or provide an ability to trade to Gawn come byes.
With the Birchall injury have restructured my team again.
Still undecided whether to start Martin or Kreuzer as R2. Will probably decide closer to Rd 1 when playing Rookies become more obvious and use 140k elsewhere.
Went for Roberton at D4 and hoping he can get back to 2017 form and make some cash. Leaves Roberton, Libba and Greene as mid price rookies and hoping maybe develop to keepers.
Made some other changes as well Dunkley to Gray and Williams to Witherden who I think will benefit with new rules and Rich moving up the field. (Lions bias maybe but a calculated move)
Team to sit for a while:
Bye Structure
Rd 12 9
Rd 13 9
Rd 14 12
Cash 20k.

With going Roberton had to downgrade so Witherden was in.
Looking good Ringo
Could even drop Bennell and Hately to cheaper rookies, then turn Roberton into Williams
Either way, like most of us, no point doing much more for now - time to just sit and wait
Yeh much better looking side there Ringo.
Agree with RD on looking to bring in Williams for Roberton, but other than that it's solid
Also just posting a team post Mitchell here in case Picker disappears:
(https://i.gyazo.com/bed2883239208cc7bf8809055299b247.png)
On watch list Zac Williams, Corey Ellis, Brad Crouch, Newman and do not laugh Charlie Cameron. (Has looked good in training so far).
EDIT
Slight edit that still some concern with Oliver so replaced with Macrae at this stage. Bircchall added to my watch list if fit as he will be hard to ignore Did not realise only $202k. Another two watching in JLT are Jamie Elliott and Brodie Smith. Also keeping an eye on Josh Bruce as well priced at 50 and should have nice price rises as his average is above 50 over his career.
Looking good Ringo.. What are thoughts on Greene, will he be ready. Hearing he'll miss JLT. And Bennell?? Hope he behaves himself.
:)

Both Bennell and Greene are in team based on what they can do but if not named have other options as boith at their price and if they can get onto field are strong values and price generation.
Greene the doubt at the moment but options a plenty watch on both Lynchs for example.
Assuming Greene and Bennell are both fit and firing for round one this is a really good side.
Doubt either of the above two will be playing round one though ;)
With the opening of supercoach here in initial team.
Have 48k for adjustments:
(https://i.gyazo.com/f3599c90a8b74c06e28164c63dafec8e.png)
Players being kept an eye on in JLT apart from Rookies Birchill, Miles, Cameron, Goldstein, Hall and Elliott. Also how Gawn and Preuss react together as if cash needed may drop Grundy and go with Gawn and Stef or even Stef and Goldy.
Bye Structure 10/8/12.
Pretty good team. I have no midpricers at this stage but if I was to have one from each line it would be Roberton, Libba and Greene. Good spread of players on each line.
Pretty good starting side mate. Well done.
Nice side Ringo, identical structure to mine currently - and with the same 3 mid pricers as well.
WitherGOAT should be a great pick with the new kick-in rules this year.
good structure, my only concern is that most people are starting 5 Prem MIDS and some even have libba @ M6, i know you compensated for that by having a set & forget ruck setup and some very high scoring captain choices
check out my team (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,112270.msg1964581.html#msg1964581)
OK Famous last words but this looks like my sitting team now till JLT after a bit more research:
(https://i.gyazo.com/e985222f7e560c06ad3345fd5bb8ff78.png)
Quite few changes.
Def:
Simpson too hard to ignore but with my luck though will probably jinx Simpson who has only missed 6 games and not scored below 93 in 10 years. He replaces Whitfield.
If Birchall named Rd 1 he will come in as priced at $205k and will rise substantially if he averages 85+ for the first 3 games.
Maintaining Roberton has he is likely to benefit from kick in rules along with Witherden.
Mids:
Have dropped Macrae who will become an upgrade target. Think he may drop in price with Libba returning and revert ro 2017 averages. Dunkley and MacLean with more mid time may also effect.
Brought in Zorko maybe Lions bias but we know what he can do and Neale may attract first tag. Has also been working on beating tag so hopefully that translates to match day.
Brought in Miles over Libba now basically as I see him being the in and under at Suns which is SC gold. Especially with Witts HO to advantage.
Fwds:
Changes allowed Wingard to come in at F4 which makes team a lot stronger.
Options that may be considered based on JLT
Martin to Hickey or Kreuzer
Miles to Libba
Gray to Dunkley
Upgrade mid or def prem to super premiums,
Rookies place holders
Love the side mate. Witherden, Zorko, Neale and Martin are all good picks. Bit weaker in the mids but you definitely make up for it on your other lines.
A couple of injuries have resulted in a few changes:
Have named Birchall but if not named Rd 1 will downgrade.
With Wines injury have named Rockliff as M4 with Miles at m5. Think in second year at Power Rocky may be set to regain his mojo and reach his high scores of 2017. Training strongly from all reports as well. Bennell will come into m6 if named Rd 1. Still undecided between Fyfe and Neale. Fyfe in at the moment but Neale could easily come in instead,
With naming Rockliff over Zorko have been able to bring Dunkley into F4.
Mids may be a little weak but think strength in other lines compensates.
(https://i.gyazo.com/f337c8709b3b31f65cd0215464bd956e.png)
Hey mate, nice looking team, I like a few of your PODs, Rockliff being one of them.
Despite that, I have a few extra question marks:
- Simpson; do you trust him to maintain his incredibly high standard from last year? Most of his career has been around 95 - very impressive for a defender. This year however he's priced at 105+ and will be 35?
- Dusty adds to a lengthening list of gambles. I currently have him in my squad but acknowledge that he's a risk that might not pay off. He's only once in his career gone above 108 for the season, that was in 2017 where we know he broke just about every record and won the Brownlow and still *only* went at 119 and was a statistical anomaly in a 200-game career. Is he capable of another 110+ season?
- Neale - I know you're a Brisbane man, but is it wise to pay through the nose for a bloke who hasn't played a game for a new team? Surely he takes a while to settle in?
- Roberton, Birchall AND Miles?
:D
All the best mate!
;)
Hi Ringo, you forgot to include left over salary cap. Not keen on Simmo but at his price you have plenty of options if you change your mind.Surprised to see L Neale not a POD, currently in 16.2 % of teams. Have you heard anything on Corey Ellis ?? Interested to know what section of the team he is training with ? Could go well with GC and only 30k more than Birchall. Nice team mate . Have a good season Ringo.

Sorry only 29k left. Will see what I can find on Ellis from my contacts. Yep Simmo may be downgraded after JLT. He is so consistent and you know what you get. Sitting team but more than likely will be adjusted after JLT.
Nice side Ringo...
Obviously you are aware of the rookie Bytel being injured, as you posted his injury...
Quote from: Fid on February 01, 2019, 06:33:58 PM

Yep will be looking for a rookie with F/M DPP to establish link. Realised when I did this final sitting side I did not have the link.
Personally I think Rocky is cooked and won't return to fantasy relevance but would be a massive payoff if he can return to a 100 average and maybe be a M9.
Have the same obvious concerns about Birchall. Hasn't done any of the pre-season so would not really consider starting him unless he gets some games in JLT.
Even with the injury to Wines and Wingard leaving I'm not convinced that Robbie Gray's body can hold up enough to play massive amounts in the midfield without spending massive chunks of games up forward. Would be better IMO as an upgrade target to see how he goes once he has a few games under the belt.
Hey Ringo, interested in your thoughts on one or two things, as I have an almost identically structured team to yours.
Like you, I'm running with two premium defenders, but where you have Witherden + Roberton, I have Williams + Smith.
Same four premium forwards, into Setterfield + Rookie.
Where you have Cripps + Neale + Martin, I have Cripps + Oliver + Fyfe.
Also Miles at M5, into Rookies M6 - M8.
The main difference being that my POD is Taranto at M4, whereas you have Rocky. To afford this, I'm got Witts at R2 next to Grundy.
I'm very happy with this structure, and have a number of places to grab cash if I want to turn Witts into Goldstein.
My concern is that I only have 13 keepers. Are you also bothered by this with your team?
I'm comfortable with the 7 on-field Rookies, but would ideally like 14 keepers.
I could achieve this by downgrading Dunkley to Billings, for example, and upgrading Smith to Mills.
But I don't want to add a couple more speculative mid-pricers just to tick the box of having 14 keepers. In your opinion, is 13 sufficient as a starting point?
Look at this way in an ideal world you want 18 keepers playing.
If you have 13 that is 5 required - usually with a down and up to get these so that is 10 trades required to get to the 18. maybe allow another 2 if you have to double down to gain a super premium.
So yep all being well that is ok.
However as we know nothing is normal in SC so you have to go with gut.
I usually try to start with 13 keepers and allow the trades as follows:
12 required for upgrades
Up to 3 correctional trades Rd 3
5 injury trades
Leaving 10 trades to use through finals.
However last year used 11 injury trades which wrecked plans.
Obviously team will change prior to Rd 1 but going with this structure.
I tend to aim for 22 keepers usually but that's just me
Forgot that part of the plan and usually aim for 21 at conclusion though with a prem/mid pricer on bench for 3 lines except Rucks.
Hang on one sec...
6 + 8 + 2 + 6 = 22 18
Ah yep so 18 and premo cover on each line except rucks
Posting 2 sitting teams here to keep record to fall back on:
Team 1 Preferred team with Miles, Roberton and Green only mid pricers and sound prem bye structure based on 12 keepers bur Miles and or Green could become keepers.
Rd 12 3 Prems missing
Rd 13 7 Prems missing so this round needs watching in trading.
Rd 14 2 Prems missing.
Def and Fwds prem set with rookie place holders
Mids 2 and 3 really my issue to decide with Kelly, Neale and Yeo also under consideration.
(https://i.gyazo.com/d674337527c9956559224cd479a706d8.png)
Team 2 Speculative with Mumford at R2 and hoping Fort or Zac Clarke plays Rd 1 and 2. Mumford if he can average 90 will be ripe to upgrade to the best ruck after Grundy. Birchall will become Rozee
(https://i.gyazo.com/3eaf0d155e8aec836e805586f1a68320.png)
Think you're better off with the second team there Ringo, but I'd be getting rid of Birchall if I was you.
So it's Stef/Roberton/Greene vs
Mumford/Williams/J.Martin?
Team 1 easy for me, as the money saved with Mumford doesn't net you much more points if any, especially as you're playing Fort first two rounds up against Grundy+Gawn.
Had a play round with a Guns and Rookies team as well. Do not mind this structure at all and may settle on it. But like a few of us playing around with structures at this stage,
14 Keepers and an ideal 4,6,4 Bye structure for prems, M2 - M5 not set in stone but the structure there to use prems in the 500/560k range with one maybe 600k,
Risk with JOM but think with Mitchell out he could be a nice POD and remember he played most games last year.
With Fagan uping the ante in Rucks expect Stef to lift to make sure he is in 22 and also noting he is off contract this year. Contingencies in plan for him if not.
Rookie availability may play havoc though,.
(https://i.gyazo.com/8ee132fdc1ee71819a32a4b30fd7882d.png)
14 keepers is a really good effort!!!
Jaeger is the only pick I’m not sold on but with Titch down I can understand the risk!
Looks good. Solid structure, like the Merrett and Neale picks.
Only concern is JOM. Surely in line to get the tag now. Reckon he'd be a better pick with Titch in the team.
For a similar price I'd look at a mid/fwd like Kelly, Mundy or even Wingard if fit.
They are much more likely to be a top fwd than JOM is a top mid. People scoff at a DPP premo in the mids, but it actually makes sense for the above reason. Also adds flexibility with only 3 premo fwds u can move there if necessary.
As I said 2 - 5 not set in stone and others are under consideration as well Kelly, Sloan, Mundy, Zorko. Also Gray may be consideration but loving the structure.
Did some research on JOM last year and only missed the 2 games and scored well. If I retain him and find he is being tagged out of it will use a correctional trade,
Just did a team with English at R2 to see effect on structure. English may become Mumford if Fort starts.
Do not mind this structure at all - Couple of spec picks in O'Meara and Jack Martin. Only 10k left but a possible 14 keepers with Williams, Martin and O'Meara. Risk I know but calculated.
(https://i.gyazo.com/d0e29e606e2373781a3862c88eb8f007.png)
Like the bye structure for the 14 keepers as well 3-5-6.
Posting Teams here to keep a record to look back on as well.
I like your team, but I see lots of FWDS with DPP but you have none in the MIDS. Would it make sense to have one or two DDPs in the MIDS to allow you some flexibility?
A couple of nice PODs with Ryan and Jack Martin. I notice that you don't either Miles or Walsh. Are you happy to miss them?
I don't see jack being a keeper (as if I know anything), so they are said to be likely to produce similar scores to Jack but generate a lot more $.
Thoughts on Rozee in the FWDs to use the DPP of Burgess?
As you can see, I like to have position flexibility.
Looks solid to me, JOM worries me a bit, reckon he gets all the attention now. Would look at squeezing Zerrett in if you can.

with you on rocky ak. birchall not on the radar either, rather spend more on roberton.every year i have doubts on gray and this year is the same. probably a good choice as danger and heeny my f1/2 then big drop down in price to gresham. could put him m5 if he lasts and plays mainly mid would be worth it. move him to f3 later in the season.
After JLT1 This is my team and unless some rookies stand up next week or are dropped rookies unlikely to change,. Prems still undecided on a couple but getting structure right.
Def: Laird, Ryan, Witherden, Brodie Smith, Roberton, Duursma (Burgess, Hore)
Mid: Cripps, Neale, Coniglio, Brayshaw, Sloane, Miles/Libba/Walsh, Caldwell/Hately, Butters (Constable, Hind, Gibbons)
Ruc: Grundy, Goldstein (Fort Clarke also on radar)
Fwds: Danger, Heeney, Greene, Settlefield, Drew, Balta, (Petruccelle, Parker)
Caldwell/Hately dependent on who is named as do not see both being named. Will decide on Miles/Libba/Walsh based on premiums required and amount of cash required.
batting deep in def ringo unique mids but all reasonable options. team structure is good. just wait for rookies to settle themselves out and good to go
A few changes post JLT and this will be sitting team till teams announced:
(https://i.gyazo.com/6de4b41362a8fd0785bfb9019f6965d3.png)
Def: Dropped Ryan and Roberton and now running with 2 rookies on field each week.
Mids: Brought in Macrae as I feel I needed another big gun and also possible C choice with loopholes, So will probably regret Sloan out.
Fwds: Greene out for Boak.
Rookies are those I think will play but still await teams.
Byes for keepers 2/6/6 so not too bad,
Really like it Ringo, solid as
if Sloane fires you've always got the option to jump off Brayshaw early for him
I like most of the picks and have had most in and out of my own side pending structures.
I think Gus Brayshaw is more of an AF/RDT option compared to SC. His number last year were ridiculous in the back end for those comps but they were not translating into SC points. I also think you might be batting one too many mid prems and need an extra in the forward line. Otherwise it's looking really solid.
I like it ringo. Brayshaw a solid unique i have hone with steele myself
Posting another team here to keep track.
Going light in the back line with the intention to see which premos maintain their average. Concerns with both Lloyd and Laird after further investigation. Going light allowed Libba to become Brad Crouch.
Do not mind this team with 11 definite keepers and possibility of another 3 in Smith, Crouch and Greene. Rookies pretty set just waiting for Rd 1. Have used Bines as R3 as floating donut and also to maybe allow for a R/F to come in if Grund/Gawn miss for a game or 2.
(https://i.gyazo.com/93a2edfe26bbe39601522bdf5da5aefb.png)
Very similar side to mine. Love the pod in Ryan he could easily go 95+ this year. No Williams is interesting!
decision Smith + Crouch v Williams + Libba , Toss of the coin really
Crouch 95 Smith 90= 185
Zac Williams 90 Libba 95 = 185 so much the same. Think Smith may have the higher ceiling.

If you think Crouch is going to avg 95 I wouldn’t pick him. I think people picking him are banking on a 100-105 avg.

id lock in Williams not matter what you do. Even though alot of us are picking smith, before last year in his previous 3 years his best average was only 82. In Williams last two full seasons he averaged 88 and 94 (2017), and since that year there have been some changes to the team that could even more positively help williams output; such as Nathan Wilson left and heath shaw has gotten more older and hopefully Whitfield will play a more fwd/mid role this year. Meanwhile when looking at smith, both Milera has rapidly improved.
with all this said, both players have very good value and im picking both. If williams is fit for the whole seasons i can see him easily finishing top 10 and even maybe going close to 95-100. If Smith does take most of the teams kickouts i can see him going anywhere between 85-90.

If you believe these are their prospective averages, pick Smith and Libba for the 185 points, and spend the leftover $ elsewhere...?
I think williams is good for 100 av but the other option gives you $$$
Version 234564
Cash left 15k
(https://i.gyazo.com/39e07b7f31e4ac45f2e36eb855b90e56.png)
Defence giving me the most grief this year - Watch on both Lloyd, can he maintain last years average given the previous 2 years were 84 and 87, and laird who I think will drop to 90/95 with return of Smith and advance from Milera. Have gone for the ever consistent Simpson but if more cash is required may downgrade to Crisp or Hurn. Really hard to get a grasp on Top 10 this year.
Mids: Really liking Steele as a POD as think he can he can take the next step to a 105/110 average which will do me for M9, Prepared to take risk with Fyfe.
Rucks: Set and forget - If either fail than a correctional down trade is easy. Will accept drop to 110 average for both though.
Fwds - Gone Mundy at F3 as he will get more mid time if reports can be believed. Beneficial bye as well. Danger and Heeny have not left my side. Mundy may go down to Greene if cash needed, Will toss a coin on Simpson and Mundy.
Rookies pretty set but await announcements. Using Bines as R3 atm so as to give options to Bring in a R/F should Grundy or Gawn miss one or 2 games. Think Westhoff a bit expensive to start but good to bring in later if needed.
Team with 13 keepers Witherden and Ryan picked as keepers as both will go 90/100. Remember 2017 when only one defender averaged over 100 and this shaping up this year as well.
Bye structure for the 13 keepers:
Rd 12 4
Rd 13 6
Rd 14 3
So no further changes till Thursday.
looks good m8 can only really question the scrimshaw pick with his very shaky js
have u thought of going Witherden to Williams or Neale to Conigs for bye structure?
i know u a brissy man tho lol
Thank you
Neale will definitely be staying - Withers part of my contingency plans when teams announced.

agree on witherden to williams, or simpson to williams if you need cash. Simmo is max priced and all downside from this spot. I love the bloke and he is a stalwart of my SC def most years. Just better value trading him in later.
Would have fyfe to oliver as ollie just never looks like missing games and likely 120 scorer. Fyfe's problem is inability to play 22 games. Is a super prem and one of if not best player in the game. No good to you if he misses 3-6 games though.

Scrimshaw to hore and pocket the cash to help with those changes you may make. Unsurprisingly team looks great.
I have witherden and williams so can't help with that choice... tho I also have mcgrath
You have gone off brayshaw?
Best pick of course is the blonde magpie.
good luck for the season mate.
My Final Rd 1 Team
Only 10k cash left.

Lesson from last year do not go chasing points which is why I will take Cripps VC as better to be safe in Rd 1.
Issue that may change Constable or Scott at M9. Probably toss a coin.
I like the Mundy pick. He is one I am tossing up in a downgrade for Menegola for some extra cash. Luke Ryan and interesting POD as well. Will be interested to see how the team progresses.
After seeing the performance of some rookies and prems in first rounds have dowgraded Williams to Brodie Smith to keep $90k in reserve for Rd 3 adjustments. Do not think lose much with the downgrade

Balta for one at least on bench though did not make B/e - may be different next week but on chopping block at the moment. Some others still left to play. Each year I have to do a couple of correction trades Rd 3.
Neale was massive tonight. He looks to have settled in nicely at the Lions and should easily be top 10 this year. I'm curious to see how your Freo trio go. I had an eye on Mundy but went with Menegola/Boak instead and Luke Ryan could really benefit from the kick in duties like the other boys have this round.

Cash 85k
Changed Williams to Smith for cash and no real loss points wise.
Premos Simpson, Ryan, Grundy, Gawn, Danger, Heeney, Mundy all scoring less than 100 really hurt.
Bad decision not to take Cripps VC score but not alone with that action.
Trades this week probably none unless someone dropped or injured although Collins definitely being watched.
Yes one of my worst rankings after rd 1 too. But not my worst. Shoulda have taken cripps vc killed me.
So are you dropping balta this week or holding? All the best for week 2
Still undecided awaiting teams to see if other issues. May risk holding as suspect he may have been dropped as horses for courses given lack of height in Pies forward line.

Thats the reasoning I believe he was dropped. However not bringing in Soldo now that Balta was dropped was confusing.
SF 2018 Nank/the team got murdered by Grundy/Cox combo.
Balta would have been handy as a chop out in the ruck, even if they didn't need him in defense.
Solid team as usual Ringo. Martin, Collins and Mundy have small question marks over them but gotta hold.
Holding Balta seems like the go. Neale, Moore and Coniglio terrific picks.
After team announcements and I usually allow 3 corrective trades used 2 Balta to Parker as no guarantee he will return and Hore to Wilkie who appears to have the better JS. Got caught last year keeping rookies who were dropped and hoping they will get games again sooner. Shai Bolton was one and cannot remember the second.

Worst Rd 1 ranking since my initial year of playing SC, :(
Trades done -
Balta to Parker
Hore to Wilkie - Not the best trade and in hindsight should have kept but did not realise Collins would go 86.
Team for Rd 2:
Def: Simpson, Ryan, Smith, Wilkie, Dursma, Clark (Collins, Burgess)

Rucks: Gawn, Grundy (Bines)
Fwds: Dangerfield, Heeney, Mundy, Moore, Settlefield, Drew (Parker, Petrucelle)
What to do to get back on track:
Rookies sound and will moo so nothing required there.
Prem Issues -
Mundy definitely being managed and TOG is well down so needs to go.
Simpson - Age is showing and Newmann may be taking some points. Can see Average 90 only
Dusty - 0 Tackles is the concern and does not seem to be near the ball a lot, Scored 102 in first round so may be worth keeping for the moment
Heeney - Has an ankle issue - Swans have 8 day break so will assess after this game.
So trades this week:
Mundy to Kelly as sideways or Worpel, Boak, Daniels, Gresham for cash gain to deal with further issues
Simmo to Lloyd - Lloyd showing he is a must have this year.
a few issues ringo.
agree get lloyd in probably and then mundy/heeney to kelly/boak/worpel
i would go worpel as will cost you more later. boak is best pod option though.
Couple of issues but those trades sound great. Collins got a huge point boost from his huge mark at the end
Those two sound very good to me, will definitely strengthen up that backline, as Ryan is a bit touch n go with his scoring so far.
Love the Mundy to Kelly trade Ringo.
Would be holding on Simmo though imo
After sleeping on it deciding only to trade Mundy - Giving Dusty and Simmo another week or so. Trades are precious and can make ground back up later.
Just need to decide Mundy to who - Kelly and Dahl unfortunately has the Rd 13 bye, Boak will He score as well with wines back and Worpel still relatively young and will he keep it up. Thinking maybe stuff the byes at this early stage correct with upgrades and go Kelly. Six prems out in rd 13 may be workable.
Bye Prems if trading in Kelly 2/6/5

Concerns: Dusty, Simpson. Couple of rookies looking tired. Fyfe may not play.
Trade Considerations Corrective premium trades -
Dusty to M Crouch and Simmo to Lloyd - No cash left but 2 who will be in Top 5/10 in position
Dusty to Libba and Simmo to Lloyd - Leaves me 135k and still possibility Libba will not be a keeper but all the indications there.
May have to reassess if Fyfe out as means playing 4 rookies.
Option 1 sounds good to me even if you have no money left. M crouch will definitely be in top 10 mids and Lloyd will be the number 1 defender i reckon

Big improvement this week and continuing the climb.
All things being normal looking at these trades Clark to Lockhart and Burgess to Billings, Boak or Daniel. All have the Rd 12 bye which is beneficial. Boak is probably the desired but will leave me with little cash. Billings seems to be better this year with more mid time but do I want to be burned again and Daniel who is starting to be found out in defence now so will his scoring drop.
Walters another option and like Billings do I want to go there
Burgess to Boak looks strong. More cash is coming in Hately/Hayes. Plus no exposure to parker/pett would be great.

Moving in the right direction and big improvement from low of 85,555.
One trade would be Atkins to Hayes - Unsure whether to do another or sit. Will wait on teams as well as a few possible injuries to cover.
Whitfield and Macrae still targets and have done their best this week to reduce values.
Edit Just thinking on this and feel free to talk me out of it forgoing Hayes and Wilkie to Young and Collins to Rich. Bench will be Lockhart and Young Not the best but both will rise in cash if named,
Can you afford Laird?
Quote from: Bully on April 29, 2019, 01:17:17 PM
Can you afford Laird?
Been working out a way to get Laird in and this is the only real option and still pondering and may do if Conigs is not injured and out (too many rookies to play).
Moore to Corbett early and Collins to Laird, Means playing one of Corbett or Petra though and can not loop as they play one another.
Yeah i dont have a problem with that bench especially if they make some cash. 3 to 4 weeks would be nice
Really torn on trades this week:
Option 1 - Just one trade Atkins/Butters to Hayes leaves cash of $130k - Downside playing 1 of Butters/Atkins, Scott, Gibbons or Hayes, Could also do Wilkie/Collins to Young for cash as well.
Option 2 - Wilkie to Young, Collins to Rich - Con Rich has the Rd 13 bye and already have & with that bye. Could go Houli instead early and save 40k.
Option 3 - Moore to Corbett early and Collins/Wilkie to Laird. Con playing one of Petra or Corbett -
Option 4 - Wilkie to Young, Collins to Caleb Daniel via Moore
Other suggestions welcome Cash only 21k -
Current team

Both those trade look good ringo. Whitfield i think can wait snother week
Hey mate, 15 trades left is getting a bit shaky, especially with 8(?) upgrades left to make. When do you need to start hunting for some value picks do you think?
I have 19 left with 6 or 7 (if you include Rocky) upgrades to make, yet am already resigning myself to keeping Rocky at M8 due to a lack of foreseeable cash generation etc.
I know you've got a fair bit of value to trade out in ROB and Hore etc, but you might need to punt on a speculative pick/bottomed-out premo soon.
Some to consider:
Robbie Gray
Devon Smith
Jeremy Howe
TJ Lynch (under 300k!)
M Crouch (High BE after injury game)
Milera (was averaging 95 before injury, will drop to about 400k)
Jayden Short (not back for awhile but will be around 350k after 2 drops in price)
Menegola (monitor role for signs of mid time boost)
Gunston
Wingard
T McDonald
Westhoff
Toby Greene
Lots of obvious risks, though there might be a few gems if you can spot them before they jump.
Unfortunately for you, quite a lot of them are forwards and you're stacked there!
Good luck anyway, will be interested to see your moves heading into the byes!

Looking good Ringo.
With rookies Moore & Hore, Walsh & Duursma and Corbett on field and only 11 trades it looks tight to get full upgrade. At least you have kept the higher scoring rookies. I am having trouble with upgrading that F6 spot too. Might have to hope Corbett or Young spike in value. Not tempted to take the ROB cash with fort?

With ROB keeping him as he will be nice cover for Grawndy in Rd 13 if he is still in the team. Jacobs due to return soon. Plan for ROB has always been to hopefully sideways him to a F/R via Bines. Looking at Lobb especially if he keeps the intercept marks going. Lycett/Westhoff the other options but not setting world on fire.

Red are players with byes this week.
Trades Would not have a clue awaiting teams but wondering whether to cop donut as well 16 players available but includes Whitfield.
Whitfield to Laird?
Then Hore to Congilo?
Just 11k short of that Carn
With Whitfield out though will be doing Whitfield to Coniglio. And then await teams to see who is named.
Have 18 playing if Scott, Lockhart, Corbett and Hore named and ROB covering if Grundy does not get up.
Have 18 next week if Gardner, Young, Scott and Corbett play Hoping ROB plays as well.
If ROB Out will look at ROB to Rory Lobb/Lycett
Have 20 playing Rd 14.
So if SC Gods are kind may only have the 1 trade this week to conserve them.

Now achieved highest ranking for the year. progressing towards goal now of Top 10k and not abandoning team.
Had to do some trades with team selections as only 14 players were available and got some reward. Couldhave been higher if not for being out Saturday night and unable to claim Fyfes vc over Cripps costing 51 points.
Now the big decision with having 21 players available (although some crap rookies) and hold for a week or burn trades this week.
Think I will wait teams:
Couple of options being considered
ROB to Marshall, Billings or Daniel or Lycett/Hoff to open up F/R
Walsh to Naish no on field benefit Dursma/Answerth to prem mid.
If I make it back into top 10k will avoid my worst ever SC ranking.
ROB>marshall
Walsh>clark
Then you could upgrade duursma/smith to a premo defender like williams hurn stewart
Seriously considering this trade:
ROB to Marshall
Walsh to Rampe via Dursma/Answerth
Rampe may be a nice POD for me Looked the Swans draw and reckon he can average 100.

+1
Sound advice thank you.
May only do the one trade.
May consider Walsh to Henderson this week or Walsh to Sloane next week as only 2 midfielders around 520k I can afford. Alternatively could take a punt on Brayshaw.

may just sit and cop the donut even if Gawn out.
Goal was to make it to top 10k after the start I had so achieved so maybe over next few weeks try to get to top 5k and even top 1k.

So have had to use last trade to avoid donut, Would have been great to trade Hore rather than Smith last week as would still have a trade but that is typical of my season.

Note VC on Danger not Westhoff, Just hoping for no real catastrophes and see how high I can get in rankings. Really not to bad after being 85K.
