Hang tough whynot. dow to rookie definitely on the cards, kid has no ticker at all
Corrections are expected but it's been 2 games you could have 20 other issues to fix by rnd 3.
How many are going to trade in Tex? :-X

Happens every year. If Danger gets rubbed out just sit back and watch the stupidity.
100 point half for Tex at under 300k. If Ziebell/Daniher/Impey flop he could be another option.

Would it be worth trading A Fyfe to Jordon next week?
A Fyfe is my M11 for loophole purposes but I have a feeling Fullarton or Kosi might get dropped next week.
Hopefully Jones gets a call up in the next few weeks.
Lets finish this round first ;)

Fyfe will be super handy, this week a perfect example of the value of looping.
Not against Jordon who looked great but I'll be looking at others to cull.

Fullerton or Brockman maybe for me at this stage, have Saunders m/f as loop option which I'll hang on to I think. Saved me this week

I was shocked at Brockman's score, felt like a 50+ game. Hawks will persist so better to ditch Fullerton.
McNeil in the gun for me.

Fullarton was hardly seen tonight, I think he is the one that has to go!
No trades for me. I’ll cop Dangers suspension on the chin. Will be culling Grundy if he fails again though.
:)
No trades. Not concerned about Grundy, he usually goes pretty ordinary when Steph is around. And as was earlier mentioned, VERY early days. 22 rounds , 3 byes and showerloads of injuries and suspensions still to go !
;)
Probably none, barring any injuries today. Re-assess next week.
Well, looks like Tyson to Jordon is on the cards this week. Frees up some cash straight away.
And would be very tempted to use that cash to trade Cripps to Clarry!
If Dangerfield rubbed out for 3+ weeks what is everyone going to do with him? A 600k+ player on the bench for that long this early is far from ideal

If three weeks gone for sure.
Two.....will be hard to trade knowing he will be top six forward by year’s end.
That’s why there is a bench.
Having said that Geelong play Friday so not ideal for loophole.

Probably Danger to Jordon (dees) and Bruhn up to Oliver.
1 handball in a half of footy not great and Danger sent straight to tribunal means 2-3.
No trades this week.
Early correction thoughts on round 3.
Dow to Jordan. Adams to Mitchell.

I'll likely trade given there doesn't seem to be too many major rookie issues ( just Fullerton for Jordan probably)
Will look into Mills, Merrett or Mitchell
Danger trade the only one I am looking at if suspended for 3 weeks - 50/50 if 2 weeks.
Will look to Mitchell or Dunkley if I have to trade. Most Rookies with the exception of Brockman and Fullarton performed OK.
Will give rucks another week or so to see if GG an abomination for first week but hurts when R3 Flynn outscores both.
Danger to Dunkley me thinks.
Rowell has a knee knock. Not sure how serious but that's a lot of teams with Rowell and Danger
Danger to one of Dusty/Titch/Walsh

Had Dunkley and Rowell in my team until the last day and went Danger and Taranto instead.
Dodged Rowell but got hit with Danger.
At least it's not his shoulder and over 50% own him.
Can't imagine the Suns will be rushing Rowell back anytime soon.
PCL. 12 weeks

PCL. 12 weeks
Says who?
Dew just said they don't think it's too serious and he will likely miss a few weeks
Fox Footy HT coverage. 6 in a brace and 6 weeks recovery time
Well that's just them guessing it's a PCL
There's been no confirmation, and Dew sounded optimistic
Even if he is good to go in a fortnight you can't hold him
Quote from: Mat0369 on March 21, 2021, 08:40:36 PM
Even if he is good to go in a fortnight you can't hold him
Oh he definitely needs to be traded out, but for his sake I hope it's a speedy recovery
Tossing up moving Danger for Boak, Bont or Hunter now as Danger is in my mids. Looks like he’ll be gone for at least 3.
Dodged Rowell fortunately however TTs ownership is about to skyrocket
If everyone can stay away from Tom Mitchell please that would be appreciated :P
With Mcdonald being a late out, I got Hunter Clark in at the last minute. Clark did well and I got en extra $80k to use for trades.
Danger to Titch is on the cards as first corrective trade.
Danger to Titch or Dunkley, bit of a toss up.
Quote from: Bully on March 21, 2021, 10:01:55 PM
Danger to Titch or Dunkley, bit of a toss up.
Will be my thinking as well - If cash permits maybe even Macrae
Well if Dangerfield is gone for 3+ he has to go, you can’t start the season off with a 600k player on your bench for 3+ weeks.
Rowell will have to go too, even if it’s a 4 week injury. GCS will not rush him back.
Add some poor rookie choices in Fullarton and Bruhn and I can’t think of a worse start to a season ever.
Rowell - Taranto
Dangerfield - Macrae / Dunkley or Mitchell
Have to pray rookies improve next week.
I'm holding my trades this week since I don't have any glaring issues, but has anyone thought of LDU as an option for Rowell? That draft class had a pretty good weekend (sans Dow and LOB). Cerra, Brayshaw. LDU, Stephenson and Clark all had great games. At around 400k he could provide a nice stepping stone. The cash would also allow most to turn Danger into Oliver.
May do the two trades..
Danger to Tim Kelly
and maybe...
Cox to Heppell vis Sharp

Consistency is the key, probably need to see him back it up but when he's on he's on, looking like beast mode is just around the corner.
Also need to consider the Danger trade..
Already have a lot of the more common options - so might even look at Sidey. They need him in that midfield.
Also have Nik Cox, but think I'll give him another week if he doesn't get rubbed out.
I thought their wasn’t much in Danger
Surely the MRP will see it similarly?
He was running flat out at a player and his momentum wouldn’t allow him to stop, he obviously elected to bump because the player had just got rid of the ball and unfortunately they had a clash of heads. Should he have just tackled the man without the ball instead?
Would rather upgrade Rowell than downgrade. Thinking Green to Jordon and Rowell to Titch.
Got sucked into the Green preseason hype a bit.

Straight to the tribunal, so not good
Precedent for Danger is a suspension. They're going to have to argue it wasn't severe and is high to get it from 3 down to 2. He is looking at at least a 2 week vacation.

The Vlastuin hit also fresh in the mind, very possible he gets 3.
I need to get rid of Rowell and I'm open to using 2 trades, but having just looked at everything there isn't a good looking rookie that I don't already have
My initial thought was Joe/Impey/Campbell to rookie then Rowell to Titch, but there isn't a single rookie I like to do the downgrade to, so now I am thinking I will have to pass on Titch (for now) and just use the 1 trade this week on Rowell
My options are:
DEF: Steven May
MID: Andrew McGrath, Tim Taranto, Luke Davies-Uniake
FWD: Isaac Heeney
Tough decision. Gut is leaning towards McGrath or LDU as 2021 breakouts
Probably more a round 3 trade with some of the carnage that’s unfolded already, but Do we think Flynn is now a must (assuming he scores a healthy 75-80 round 2?)
No trades got all the rookies apart from McDonald don't have Danger or Rowell.
How about Danger to Zak Williams?
danger and rowell to williams and titch me thinks
Danger will get 2 minimum so he has to go, so its Danger to Dunks. Will keep Bruhn/Bergman another week, another poor performance and will get Jordan for one of them.

Saw the Essendon game and McGrath looked brilliant, he would be my man. Don't forget this kid was a pro athlete before taking up football, no drama when the rest of the field has heavy legs. Can see him breaking out this year. LDU still a roller coaster & not as fit as McGrath.
Danger/Rowell to:
Dunkley + Martin if I'm being boring and conservative.
Boak + Heeney if I'm not.
Idk, so many people in here are trading Rowell to another breakout contender. Surely if you're using a trade on him it would need to be to a guranteed keeper that you know you won't have to trade out again.

For most that would entail a second trade so I get the logic, as far as breakouts are concerned I don't see McGrath as being too much of a liability. One could even argue his breakout was last year, his 95 average was dragged down by an injury score in round 15. Stats look good -
120+ (4)
100+ (3)
80+ (3)
Take out the injury score and his average is bang on 100. Can he lift that 5 points? Absolutely & fine for M8
Yeah I actually had McGrath in my preseason side last year but decided to take him out prior to lockout, but one year on I think this could be the year he breaks out
Obviously I'd rather turn Rowell into a proven prem but I just don't see any other rookies worth trading in (using a 2nd trade) to get the funds, so trading Rowell to a similar priced guy is the only 1 trade I have, and I don't know what it is but I'm just not feeling Taranto - I'm sure he will probably end up being a good M8 at worst, but personally I prefer McGrath and am likely going to pick him
McGrath is also in that 5th year which a lot of guys take the next step. I see a lot of upside in that pick.

I watched Taranto on the weekend and he plays way too much time in the forward line. His scores will fluctuate more than the average mid. I have him by the way, but not feeling very confident.
Taranto also kicked 1.2 and had one on the full. He still scored close to 110, got stuck on the bench late in the game due to the ball being on the other side of the field and played close to 90% TOG. For all the time he spent forward he still had the opportunity to go 120+ and finish on 107. You can't ask for much more at his price.

Taranto will be fine, he's not the prettiest footballer but this means he won't cop the tag.
Danger to Titch.
Grundy to Walsh.
Quite happy with both my teams, despite scoring far less than I’d like
In my cash league team, I’ll likely hold off on trades this week, but keep a close eye on Flynn and Jordon
In my overall team, I’ll probably trade Dangerfield to Martin, bank the cash, and keep an eye on Neale round 2.. if Neale puts in another stinker, trade him to a performing Premo who won’t leak cash like a sieve, and use the bank to upgrade elsewhere
Idk head hurts thinking about it tbh... just wanted a stress free round 1 lmao
dont have danger or rowell, luckily.
I'd like to trade O.Henry to J.Jordon but that'd be next week anyway, pre rnd 3. If henry dropped might make that change only.

Flynn 140 showed rucks could still go big., Hickey 123, Goldy 109
Thinking of Going Danger and Rowell to Walsh and Dusty. Thoughts?
i am slightly worried that i am just chasing points by picking these two as Dusty always does well against the blues and Tigers in the past year have been leaking high sc scores to opposition midfielders.

Combination of things. Have read in different places that there’s been fewer ball ups due to more open footy being played.
Buckley said the Magpies wanted Mason Cox or another ruckman to relieve some of the work load for Brodie Grundy and it would be something they would look to do against the Blues.
This article on AFL website...
"We want Brodie to be supported by a second ruckman, whether it's Mason or Darcy Cameron..
Brodie dropped off a little in 2020 and that may have been a hub thing as speculated and he played poorly inR1 though he has a historical tendency to do that, yet it may also be a sign of more to come.
It is highly likely Gawn and Grundy will drop significantly in price this year given the new rules impacting on the number of ball ups and more free flowing footy. R1 showed few rucks dominated the SC scoring.
Flynn did but he had a stack of possessions (18) and he was against Hunter.
The fact he can find the ball indicates he should still score reasonably and whilst Grundy could very easily turn things around I’m comfortable in the pros v the cons and by getting a mid premo for Grundy and taking a rookie mid off the ground I think it’s worth it.
I don’t lose anything going Grundy to Walsh. Grundy could lose significant coin if his poor scores continue and I will be annoyed if he turns out to be as good as 3-4 others. Also thinking Walsh probably won’t be as cheap as this for a while (if he has the season I think he’s in for) plus I gain 100k from the trade and get Flynn on the ground and one of my 50 point mids off the ground.
It’s risky as Flynn has played one game and Gawn and Grundy could easily be the top 2 rucks again.

Flynn scored well because it was a wet ground and there were heaps of ball ups compared to the Collingwood and Melbourne games.
I will be sticking with the main rucks
Flynn also played a first gamer, I'd be holding off on a Grundy trade until at least next week.

Danger to Titch.
Grundy to Walsh.
Wow, big call after 1 game
do you really think Grundy is done. Or is it a ruck thing?
Flynn 140 showed rucks could still go big., Hickey 123, Goldy 109
Combination of things. Have read in different places that there’s been fewer ball ups due to more open footy being played.
Buckley said the Magpies wanted Mason Cox or another ruckman to relieve some of the work load for Brodie Grundy and it would be something they would look to do against the Blues.
This article on AFL website...
"We want Brodie to be supported by a second ruckman, whether it's Mason or Darcy Cameron..
Brodie dropped off a little in 2020 and that may have been a hub thing as speculated and he played poorly inR1 though he has a historical tendency to do that, yet it may also be a sign of more to come.
It is highly likely Gawn and Grundy will drop significantly in price this year given the new rules impacting on the number of ball ups and more free flowing footy. R1 showed few rucks dominated the SC scoring.
Flynn did but he had a stack of possessions (18) and he was against Hunter.
The fact he can find the ball indicates he should still score reasonably and whilst Grundy could very easily turn things around I’m comfortable in the pros v the cons and by getting a mid premo for Grundy and taking a rookie mid off the ground I think it’s worth it.
I don’t lose anything going Grundy to Walsh. Grundy could lose significant coin if his poor scores continue and I will be annoyed if he turns out to be as good as 3-4 others. Also thinking Walsh probably won’t be as cheap as this for a while (if he has the season I think he’s in for) plus I gain 100k from the trade and get Flynn on the ground and one of my 50 point mids off the ground.
It’s risky as Flynn has played one game and Gawn and Grundy could easily be the top 2 rucks again.
Flynn scored well because it was a wet ground and there were heaps of ball ups compared to the Collingwood and Melbourne games.
I will be sticking with the main rucks
Flynn had the most touches out of any ruckmen this week... stiff to say he only scored well because it was wet

Sloane a good replacement for Rowell.
Thinking Danger if rubbed out to Stephenson and Tyson to Sloane, LDU or McGrath thoughts
I don't mind the Sloane pick but I think you want to grab a potential premium. If I can't go up on Rowell I'd be tempted to go down to Zac Williams
I don’t have Rowell
Who are you looking at trading then? Danger? There are better options
Yes Danger however trying to get rid of Tyson in the mids can trade down to a rookie though
If you're trading a legit prem you would want to bring a legitimate one back in and not a speculative pick. Tyson you can always trade down to a rookie and pocket the cash if he flops next week

Flynn was huge. No doubt the ball up contests helped but he was great around the ground winning the ball at ground level in general play, second contests and had some contested or intercepted marking behind the play. It’s just one game but it shows he can score big and that’s because he can score in different ways.
Pretty set in going through with my Grundy to Walsh trade at this stage and playing Flynn at R2. He looked good.
Quote from: Bully on March 22, 2021, 06:08:09 PM
Flynn also played a first gamer, I'd be holding off on a Grundy trade until at least next week.
Was against McKernan for the second half so technically half correct.

Second string ruck doesn't really count although he's got Meek next week, or perhaps Darcy. I guess another ton is possible, could be Reilly O'Brien MKII, in which case you can probably afford to cut Grundy if he dips below 100 again.
3 weeks for Danger. What's the play here?

Looking at the same plus Dusty.
Probably this order for me: Titch/Dusty/Dunkley/Zorko/Mcgarth
I have the rookie rucks, so looking at z williams
Have a few options for Rowell and Dangerfield trades.
1. Dunkley & McGrath
2. Mitchell & Taranto
3. Mitchell & McGrath
If I go options 2 & 3 this means I only have Dusty as my only forward Premo.
Will have to swing Campbell into the forward line.

I don't think it matters where Campbell plays in the short term but you probably need a plan to get Dunkley in at some stage, the window may not always be open & you may not like the alternatives. Mids will probably be more readily available, Neale & Bont could be attractive targets if they bomb this week.
McGrath did look a million bucks on the weekend, you can see the athlete amongst the weekend slogger. Not entirely sure this is his year but he did average 100 last year once you take out the injury game. I'd say 105 would be very gettable with perhaps some scope to hit 110.
Any midfielder 500K or below. Who do you go for?

As mentioned Taranto is the value pick but I tell you for 510k McGrath is looking like a rocket to $600k most of his stats on the weekend were career high. He's also in the leadership group and is more than ready for it. Did I also mention that Zerret always gets tagged so McGrath is safe there (that could change though.)
Last year I started McGrath and he was only ok most weeks. He couldn't string tons together... Well not until I traded him out and each week he proved to me I made a mistake.
He's on my watch list along with H.Clarke, Zorko, Mills and Ridley.

Think those with Rowell & Danger need to grab two prem keepers, you can correct the Harmes pick next week with the best BE candidate.
So with the 1.1 million I'd possibly look at Titch/Zorko, Dusty/Dunkley, Sidebottom/Dusty

Agree with Bully, $600k plus is too much to have on bench for 3 weeks. If it was me, Danger/Rowell to Titch and Dusty/Dunks or Boak/Zorko as PODs.

I can see both sides points of view. The way I see it is if you have pressing rookie corrections you need to make, then it might pay to keep Danger because you are going to end up making 4-5 trades by round 3.

That probably costs you 200 points, way too early to be giving up such ground.
Fact is most people have at least 1 injury trade so not too far behind the eight ball where that's concerned.
Here's another suggestion -
Rowell to Z.Williams via Sharp (pocket 50k)
Danger to Dusty/Zorko/Dunkley (pocket 50 -80k)
Next week, Harmes to Taranto/Sloane/McGrath/Heeney
Think that limits the damage in terms of getting the mid pricer off the park.
Probably agree with Bully here. Just a query how are your rookies eg do you have say Rowe, Gulden or Jordon that will also require correction before price rises,
(https://imgur.com/N69ebd8.png)
Cheers for the input guys.
This is my team atm.
I'm leaning towards Harmes/Rowell to H Young/D Martin, and keeping Danger for looping.
Other options I've looked at are Harmes/Rowell to Mills/Ziebell or Titch/La Young.
If I trade Danger, I'm forced to field Kosi/Highmore to cover for Harmes. If I keep Danger, I can play Rowe or Scott, who I'm probably more comfortable with.
It leaves me with about 30k in the bank, which I could use to go Daniher to Ziebell next week if I wanted.
Thoughts?
I can see the merit with Bully and co's suggestion for sure, but the reason I went the other way was because I knew by holding Harmes you'd likely need to field a def rookie, and that's not something I'd want to do
I also didn't know you didn't have JZ - I just assumed everyone had him
Rowell out, Danger to mids and JZ in - this allows you to use Danger to loop M8 each week too and brings Rowe on field up front
Harmes up to premo def of your choice
I get the argument that having 600k on the bench is costing you points, but I'd argue that having to field a def rookie (holding Harmes) and possibly fielding the wrong mid rookies each week (no loophole option) is going to balance it all out anyway, but at least this way you still have Danger in 3 weeks, who might even be a POD
And in a couple of weeks time you can use the surplus cash made from the above 2 trades to turn Zac Bailey into a proper prem too :P

I thought having two missing was bad, 3 though is just extremely unlucky. I'd probably do Danger to Dunks/Dusty and Rowell to a defender premo (via switching Clark and just field Highmore) or a premo mid. Then next week you can go Harmes to young if he does well again or move him onto Ziebell (via switching ddp players) and get in Jordan.
I cant decide what im doing with my trades with Rowell and Danger aswell. Here are a few things im considering:
1: Picking two of Ridley, Walsh and Dusty
2: to Taranto and Titch
If i go with option one i cant decide which two to pick. i see Ridley being a handy pick up giving my team more flexibility. Walsh has a higher potential value and average than Dusty, although if Dusty continues to dominate it will hurt my overall rank.

The fact you don't have Ziebell makes this a fairly easy exercise to fix in 3 trades & that should be the goal. For what it's worth, I think JZ is 50/50 to be a keeper so this is actually a great result.
Rowell to JZ the top priority (250k in the kitty)
Danger to Dusty (70k)
Harmes to Tom Stewart (minus 200k)
That leaves 120k in the bank to fix any other issues, probably be inclined to get Bailey up to Dunkley at some stage.

Already have stewart. The two main ones i dont have are Daniel and Ridley. Although i agree Dusty will be top 6, im not sure if he'll be consistent enough to pick up now. With Walsh, he has a higher potential to be consistent but im not sure what he'll average.

Definitely plump for Daniel, just think he's more proven in the longer matches, this is a really important consideration.
As for Dusty vs Walsh, I get the reasoning but Dusty may prove really difficult to get in if he smashes it this week, you may find that window closing before culling time. Given the forward line has so few bankable players it might be prudent to get them in early otherwise they may prove elusive.
The mid situation will cyrstalise after this week but Neale/Bont/Merrett look set to drop in price, the same cannot be said for Dunkley/Martin/Zorko.

Not sure it matters which way you go.
Dusty is up and down more than most but likely top 6 regardless. i'm upgrading to him last because i don't enjoy rollercoasters :)
What I'd be doing, given your burning two trades (necessarily), is make sure the two INS are keepers and cost you no more trades. So reliability / longevity maybe over absolute ceiling.
Hope you appreciate the feedback took me a long time to get the spelling right on necessarily :D
Looking to upgrade Rowell to Titch or another top shelf premium, the only issue is I will need to downgrade a mid pricer to do so.
My options are to downgrade either Tom Green or Liam Duggan to Jordon. Which would you choose?

Don't know much about duggan, but green did not impress, saying that not many did that game.
I'd be reluctant to use up two trades if you can avoid it, might be tempted just to go rowell to jordon.
money doesnt always equal points and banking the cash if jordon scores well onfield saves you a trade and opens up options to avoid this next time you face a forced trade.
in saying that getting a premium keeper is also a valid option, i'd just give it some thought, longer games, faster games, trades may be more valuable than ever this season.

Definitely agree about the trades. Longer, faster games with less rotations plus less exposed rookies. Perhaps being over cautious but very seriously considering risking points V trades and holding Danger. Sorta like punting on making up more points if the leader board drops back due to lack of trades nearing seasons end as opposed to points lost by being 1 prem down for 3 games at the beginning of the season when things are new in formation and a little inconsistent. Definitely holding this week and therefor no trades. Selection night pending of course.
:)
I reckon Danger could fall in price when he gets back, perhaps a nice easy stint up forward to get the engine running.
Holding on Danger, time for him to improve recovery from groin. Losing maybe 150 on points but opens captain loophole rd2 and rookie loophole other weeks.

Could be right about being up forward, but a first up stint V Nth Melb at Geelong won't do his scoring any harm. He could come back fitter and better after the rest and also hungry as all hell. Looking ahead at Rd.5 reckon I'll more than likely have the VC on Gawn and the big C on Danger. Cheers and all the best mate.

Cheers again guys.
Going Harmes/Rowell to Ziebell/ZWill.

Solid moves & leaves you with a handy war chest.
I’m thinking Rowell - B Smith and possibly A Fyfe - Jordon.
The way I see it is I can use Dangerfield as the loophole and bring in Jordon as my rookie correction. This way I have a extra rookie mid who hopefully can score around the 70-80pts mark.
I know there are questions around Smith and the bulldogs midfield scoring points etc but I watched the replay of the Bulldogs game and Smith looked unreal. No tag on him and he always seemed to be in the right position.
This could all change though if Bergman, Fullarton or Sharp are ommited.

I cant decide what im doing with my trades with Rowell and Danger aswell. Here are a few things im considering:
1: Picking two of Ridley, Walsh and Dusty
2: to Taranto and Titch
If i go with option one i cant decide which two to pick. i see Ridley being a handy pick up giving my team more flexibility. Walsh has a higher potential value and average than Dusty, although if Dusty continues to dominate it will hurt my overall rank.
Not sure it matters which way you go.
Dusty is up and down more than most but likely top 6 regardless. i'm upgrading to him last because i don't enjoy rollercoasters :)
What I'd be doing, given your burning two trades (necessarily), is make sure the two INS are keepers and cost you no more trades. So reliability / longevity maybe over absolute ceiling.
Hope you appreciate the feedback took me a long time to get the spelling right on necessarily :D
Thanks mate, ill probably end up going Ridley/Wash. However, i have also realised now i could go to Titch/Butters. This would be way more bye friendly (currently only have 2 keeps from the rd 12 bye), however im not sure if getting Butters atm is a good idea
Rowell to May (moving Laird to the midfield).
Completes my defensive line and gives me another look at Green this week before making a decision.
Danger into one of Dunkley, Titch, Oliver, Walsh, Brayshaw, Mills, Zac Williams..............

Depends on structure but you can't go wrong with any of the first 3.
Well I forgot to reverse trades so Danger & Rowell went to Boak and Dusty.
Hopefully that doesn’t come back to bite me.
Over 2000 people traded Grundy out this round.

Grundy to Hickey is my personal favourite

I want to see somebody own up to it haha.
Probably none this week. Looping Danger for Grundy's VC score.

Can't believe Rowe's ownership isn't 100% tbh
Daisy brought him in and now on -2 can’t take a trick
I guess the saving grace is that most sides should have him, but yeah it sucks having him on field :'(
