biting the bullet with houlihan this week.
who should i trade him for?
can afford anyone.
tossing up between lockyer, waite, fisher, gilbert and enright.
opinions would be much appreciated.

i would go fisher even though gilbert is taking his score. once max comes back he will be freed up a bit more.
enright is a bit up and down as is waite and i didnt trust lockyer at start of the year so im still staying away but it would be him or fisher in my opinion

i would go swan just ahead of corey. he always somehow gets a good score no matter what and can score bigger more often than corey
Waite is having a awesome season and would be my pick if i had the coin! Lockyer has potential for the odd 140 but also down games... I'd go one of these two
thoughts on this backline
lockyer, cornes, birchall, fisher, Ryder, Mcphee, Hill, (hodge, raines)
bold are who will come in this week for petrenko/rance
is that too strong?? i would have used 14 trades all up to get this along with the rest of my team being fair solid..

no need. ziebell is still a gun and franklin is still going to go down lots and isnt necessarily going to go back up
What do people tihnk of pulling the trigger on Houlihan and bringing Birchall in for him?
Not much cash needed to make the upgrade and can use the rest of my cash on other areas, not too interested in spending everything I have upgrading him to say Goddard etc.

It all depends of what strategy you're taking into DT, and whether you're playing for the overall rank or simply a league win.
If you're going for the overall rank it'd be wise to cop the 0 this week, because if this allows you to set up an aspect of your team for the rest of the year it'll be a case of short term pain for long term gain.
But if you're playing to win a league amongst your mates, you could choose to fix your forward line. But this all depends on how many trades you have left, but whatever the case i wouldn't advise trading to avoid one 0. If you were facing two or three 0's it'd be justified, but in this case it's not worth wasting a trade just to 'plug holes' in the short term. Besides, Hentschell and Ziebell have not yet peaked in price, so you'll be able to make more money off them if you plan on trading them in later on. I classify Higgins as a keeper also.
Plus, there's still a slight chance Higgins may come into the Doggies lineup if he proves his fitness in the last training run before their game this weekend.
Cop the 0 on the chin, and you'll be better for it in the long run having saved a trade that may become ever so crucial in the latter part of the season - especially given the amount of injuries that have occurred so far.
with hodge being out i actually dont mind this trade. birchall really seemed to take his role on last week and he could be a pretty good 5th - 7th back keeper at a fair price. thing is that trades are extra important this year and you may want to keep them for only upgrading rookies and trading long term injured players for now
I'm looking at two forward zeroes, so I'm thinking about Skipworth -> O'Keefe.
it's not so much the 20k or so you save from ziebell going up, its the points you lose from using the money on him rather than a rookie getting like 40s or 50s rather than him continuing to get 80+s.
bombers own
Senior List
Looking at 2 forward zeroes if Brown passes his fitness test (Higgins, Thomas, Ziebell). Petrenko held his spot, so dont have to use my money to get grimes, will just wait till next week and do suban>grimes and not waste money. Should I do Thomas to Goodwin , or to O'Keefe and upgrade Houlihan to Birchall/Newman?
deciding to hold onto petrenko this week..he will be on my bench
i reckon he will go up a little bit more than fisher this week...
i know its not much but this game is about inches.. so it might come in handy down the track..

Need to trade one of Higgins, Ziebell and Houlihan to avoid a donut. Like everyone else I've decided Houlihan has got to be the one to go, especially with Higgins a possiblity to be a late inclusion and Ziebell only being rested. If only I had houlihan down back, every single one of my backmen is playing (cornes, goddard, lockyer, hargrave, adcock, drummond, hill, raines, suban).
I've got 90k, 15 trades. What does everyone think of these trades?
A. Houlihan to Pavlich
B. Houlihan to Brown
C. Double trade, Houlihan to S.Johnson AND Liam Anthony to Cockie/De Boer (sick of waiting for anthony and frees up the cash to get Stevie J)
D. Houlihan to Franklin
E. Houlihan to Franklin, Ziebell to O'Keefe
Is the difference between the outputs of S.Johnson and Pavlich/Brown enough to justify having to waste another trade to get him? Probably not. Should I write off D as a option because of Franklin's poor record against Freo and his large breakeven and wait till next week when I can trade him for Ziebell for 20-30k less. I'm leaning towards A, as Brown has a poor record against adelaide and is very up and down. E was just a random option as I think O'Keefe will come good and i think Franklin and O'Keefe have the potential to score 200 between them, whereas Houlihan and Ziebell will only score 150. But on this years form its not a great option. Thoughts?

ok guys.
A) Rance --> greenwood
then lovett --> steve johnson
B) or mackay --> sheldon/cockie
then lovett --> steve johnson.
I got cheney and broughton on my bench, as well as beams and robinson, all named in teams this week. Also sheldon or cockie???
Im leading towards option B, but not sure between sheldon and cockie ...

My forwardline contains Higgins, Thomas, Skippy and Jay-Z so im looking to cop two zeros.
At the beginning of the year i ideally would have loved for one of Skippy or Thomas to become my 7th Forward come year end.
Skippy got a huge 120 in his first, 80 the next. He then follwed with a 70 against Carlton whom are great DT defenders + struggled from ToG. The next game was his injury game.
I think when he gets back, he could come out and average 80ish given he gets that 75% ToG. I ave more faith in that than Thomas moving up to 80 thats for sure.
Im going to give Thomas the chop this week, to a Sidebottom. Take the 0 on Higgins. This will bring my bank up to 335k and wait on Skippy and Ziebell's return.
Or do people think that im best off upgrading him to say a Pavlich, Stokes, Gia, or J Brown.
Sidebum or an upgrade to a slightly out of form DTer...?
Already have SJ, Franklin, Roughy, Lids, Warren
Id look to get Sidebottom in the week after for either one of Warren, Robinson or Beams if this would be the case.

Id keep Rance for now. You have plenty of cover on the bench, and he looks to only be out for 3 weeks, with a little bit of milk still left in him.

Which would you guys choose:
(I've got 39k in the bank)
Dale Thomas -> Franklin or Gian (or a full downgrade to Sidebottom)
or
Hogan (who has gone missing by all accounts) -> Sidebottom
I need the scorer this week, but I'm not convinced Franklin/Gian are gonna improve enough from here to be keepers.

Im also looking at Newman for Houlihan. I cant see Hoops getting to anything higher than 340k, and there are some decent bargains to be had. My only problem with Newman is that with Raines back in the side, will his scoring drop off? Can only have so many rebounding defenders...
Im also looking at Gilbee. Normally I would steer well clear of him, but he seems to be getting loose for those big games more often this year. Even taking out his 120 on the weekend, he is averaging ~82. Newman is more consistent, but as he doesnt get the same big games, his down games kill his average.
