I'm also committing to holding Paul Hunter for that permanent captaincy loop option. He's never getting a sniff back in the side and with rolling lockouts all year, the VC Loophole is on offer every single week.

 

[JDWCE]

Who's the best mid to target under 800k this week?

Mitchell seems the obvious choice but the other options include Treloar (is he 100% fit and gelling yet?) or Gaff (will Shuey out break him again?). If i was to scrape another 50k by picking up a 170ker (if named, RCD maybe) over Robertson i could get to anyone bar Macrae basically, so you're looking at Oliver (O'connor tag incoming), Steele (ewww a St Kilda player) or Guthrie (can I really trust Cam Guthrie?).

Not sure what we will do with Meek when Lobb is ready to roll.

Mitchell is the obvious one for sure given that regardless of how how goes in the next couple, you'll want him by the end of the year. So there's no risk of a failed trade there.

Treloar/Gaff are not a sure thing just yet so would wait on them.

Agree with the rest of your summary.

I'm trying to wait a little longer before I grab any of the bigger names like Mitchell as it feels a bit gross grabbing an $800k player after they scored a 71.

Quick one on Treacy, I assume he comes in this week as it looks like your entire board expects him to. But is his spot in jeopardy once Lobb returns or is it a form thing?

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Not sure what we will do with Meek when Lobb is ready to roll.

When Meek is dropped he will go, but i'm holding one fully comatose player like Hunter for the VC loophole and Ruck is best place to do it with less players a risk of a late out.

I'm trying to focus on upgrading in the Midfield first given DPP adds only to the fwd line and backline so Mids are the most certain. Lock them away early and try and save some spots for the new premos when they get added in.

Yeah lots of changes expected this week. Some forced (Fyfe ready, Young out etc.), but also from an insipid performance.
No chance we hold Meek, Darcy, Lobb and Treacy.
Treacy replaces Meek or Darcy this week.
Then Lobb replaces the other or Treacy then. Will depend a lot on performance. Definitely possible for Treacy to only be in for 1-2 weeks.

When Meek is dropped he will go, but i'm holding one fully comatose player like Hunter for the VC loophole and Ruck is best place to do it with less players a risk of a late out.

Fair point. Unfortunately can't do any Sunday/Monday fixture analysis (until we have the fixture beyond r6) to identify the best loophole player options.

Probably Titch.. but i love me some Guthrie. Had him as a POD for the 2nd half of last year, he def. has some ball hog tendencies and literally patrols the field as he wants to.

I'm sort of doing the opposite as I'm living in hope Gulden/Taranto both get DPP forward status. They're taking 2x mid spots so it's hard to upgrade too much in the mids before I feel like it's putting a hat on a hat.

Drew at M5 probably my only flexible spot in midfield atm but i like having that one spot to make DPP changes week by week.

My thoughts on that are only get 5 premo mids as there are 3 rooks you need on field.

Yeah i currently only have 4. Have Drew and 3 rookie midfielders still to go. Will probably try to get Drew up next.

on his last chance as I think the Cogs injury may help his scoring.
286k in the bank.

Gulden and Jordon yes, not sure about Powell (assuming he's the 3rd). Not putting up much more than fwd rooks so far

Except when the Saints play before your VC!

I don't expect the Saints to get too many thursday or friday night games from here on given how poor they are playing. Plus i'm not a greedy man, I usually leave my VC to the first one or two games only like old times sake (as opposed to trying to get VCs on Saturdays or Sundays), so i don't expect it to be an issue.

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Only issue with the VC Loop is timing. You need a VC to play before your Loop Captain. If Saints get Sunday slots it'll work well.

Still wish they'd get rid of the VC loop somehow. It seems like a broken system to me.
Especially in the current state where theres no excuse to even have a donut captain.

VC could easily be scrapped altogether. Or at the very least a VC earns +50% of their score if called upon rather than 100% as a captain would.

 

[Chris99]

So that's 22 points in just over a qtr?

That's pretty decent for a rookie price

22 points from approx 30 mins. 0.73 PPM but can he sustain for full game? Perfect D7 but I don't have big brass balls to field him

 

[Chris99]

Hind and Cumming
V
Robertson and Ridley/Bowes?

Same predicament I'm in. I'm going 2 as cumming should make decent cash and will play every week, and hind has every chance to be a keeper the way he's going.

Sounds more and more like Graham might get the gig. But at the very least Burgess will keep his forward role and assist to some extent in the truck.
He scored ok as a forward.

I think I'm going to give Burgess a crack at D6 for 1 round.

If it fails, I'll upgrade Kosi next week to someone more respectable.

Edit: Trading Kosi or highmore for burgess just seems a waste of time/trades at this point so the only spot I can justify burgess is D6.

Wouldn’t that be 1? And totally agree on Hind

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Two more rounds until we get DPPs, **** its going to be horny adding Errol Gulden into the forward line...

Yes! Option 1 is the go! May bad
