I'm a little bit worried Farrar's role this week. Looked great, didn't it, for a few weeks and I thought he played a great game but spent a lot of time against Darcy Moore on Saturday so didn't score well, and when you look at St Kilda's forward line this week there are a few talls to deal with.

King, Membrey and Marshall/Ryder with really only Graham (mostly ruck, likely), Ballard, Collins and Farrar to deal with it. No other talls back there. Next biggest would be Powell or Bowes.

I can see Farrar playing key position. Not good.

You can take it to the bank that he will be playing key position again given the opponent the Suns face. He’s one to get off the field this weekend at all costs.

Not trade related, but I can't find the 'Help me figure out the AFL Fantasy app' thread.

For some reason, I can only select TWO emergencies. What's up with that?

View attachment 1120018

Had this happen to me earlier this year, it fixed itself before bounce on the Friday and I was able to select 4 emergencies, just make sure if any emerg are going to be locked out on Friday to pick them in your two, then you can select the others after partial lockout, terrible site lol
Further to that: Apart from RCD, the players that interest me from cheapest are: Owies, Bryan (poss not playing), Byrnes, Treacy, Frederick, Murphy and Lazzaro. I would like/need to pay as little as possible, so Byrnes looks attractive but job security concerns me. Obviously I talked about RCD earlier, so despite preferring to pay close to the minimum I am probably looking at Murphy and Lazzaro. Paying a bit extra for JS has served me well so far this season.

Murphy looks like he will fit in well, he, along with McCreery should be the safest of the Pie's rookies and while Lazzaro has probably disappointed his owners so far, I loved a few things he did against Melbourne. Looks to have some tricks that the average player doesn't have. He is growing in confidence and should improve further against Collingwood.

Despite the inflated price, that's the way I may go.

Edit: just noticed Treacy got left in Perth. Can't make the top 30 of a team with injuries.
Treacy has been left to get some continuity at WAFL level, kicked 5 on the weekend a if he kicks another 3 or so then he will be flown out for the bombers game imo, theres an article on Freo site, having said all that I wouldn't pick him for fantasy, I've been burnt by him scoring two 20s already.

What i will be doing is seeing if i can loop in an emergency. First quarter of essendon game should be finished so if harry jones starts off well i will sub farrar for non playing utility and if not then will leave farrar on field. Best i can do with the spuds i have to field.

Essendon and Suns' game has been swapped coz covid. Although I guess you could just swap the logic with Farrar and Jones.

I'm thinking of doing Gulden to Frederick instead of Kelly.

Would free up the cash next week to get rid of 2 spud bench guys, one of Rowe/Kosi and one of Brockman/McNeil/Highmore/Macrae for RCD/Gawn meaning I'll have Frederick and RCD as emergencies when I continue upgrades rather than risking donuts.

All comes undone if I need a ruck though...would need either Marshall for ruck or a premo in Jelly to cover donut.
 
Looking at bringing in RCD/Frederick and leaning slightly towards Freddy this week due to a few concerns about RCD.

What about Robertson though? With a dour game last week he only went up $27k. Is it worth getting him for a modest price rise but a bit more JS through the byes? Again, not sure if the JS is all that good though. Leaning towards a no but interested to hear what everyone else thinks. Would just love to have a full bench.

Do you have Chapman? Chapman for Frederick seems a great trade as it gives you a green dot, solid scorer and cash generation.

Never had Chappy. Pretty settled with the backs currently have Idun, Bergman and Kozi as my rooks down there. Plan was to swing Bergs forward and get Freddy for Rowe/Flynn.

Just trying to get around bringing in another rd 12 bye (hence looking at RCD/Robertson) but Freddy definitely seems the pick of the rooks.

And you can always give rcd another week whereas Freddy will likely be borderline too expensive
 
He announced his team early one week and then made Drew sub. :(

Ah. Just hearing Drew’s name brings back fond memories of last week :hearteyes:
