Idk how he is going to manage 33 + touches playing full forward. Bevo'd.

 

[gutsroy]

So Bytel a chance to play, Callaghan OK, Hopper missing likely only one, you'd think.
Steuggling to find the blokes to turf tbh.

It’s broken. Caters towards the casuals to boost clicks on their website and boost revenue through advertising.

The amount of articles, pod casts, information sought readily and all free kills any chance of you getting a step up on the competition. The game is now purely all luck.

PLUS don’t even get me started on their scoring system. Completely broken.

Use to be just digging up your own information, now you can listen to podcast 1 or 2 for 1-2hr then be set.

I like the concept of boosting as it just mitigates the unluckyness of getting injury. I just don't like additional trades cause it doesn't punish you making stupid picks.

 

[Dark Sharks]

All these kents talking about how they've got to burn trades and how you've got to be aggressive this year etc etc...

I thought the higher ranked you are the more aggressive you're supposed to be?

I understand there's more trades this year and everything, but it goes against my fibres to just randomly stark nuking trades.



I'm avoiding all the "hot" options this week like LDU, Setterpenis, Ziebull.

Only trade i'm actually considering is Chesser to Chandler (can't pass up that cash flow). Am i wrong?

Few testy this week .
Few weeks away .

 

[Bingle_21]

Alright. After trading the injured Stewart and the spud Himmelberg (what was I thinking) last week I have a whole world of new issues this week. Who are the three biggest priorities to trade out this week of the below?
Gawn- inj
Steele - inj
Dusty - inj?
Fyfe- inj?
Long - spud
Chesser - JS/low scores
F Green - Low scores
Butters - Low scores

Or just put myself in for surgery and come back fresh for 2024.

Ok add Hopper to the list also.

 

[evo]

Yeah this is true. Didnt train today.

 

[Sherman41]

Reading the chat on here, think I need to do the following

McVee-McKenna
Dale-Dawson
Cumming-Naicos

Means I miss out on turning cheeser into either Hollands or chandler but I cannot afford to hold Dale and Cumming, the role just doesn’t seem to be there as expected.

 

[Caztheconquerer]

thinking About cutting a premo to bring in both setters and ziebell, think it gets more points on field plus makes cash quicker from those 2

Lots are doing it. Setters might not be a keeper, but he'll be $500k very soon. Zieb should be a keeper at D6 or F6.

Be careful with who you trade out though.

Hopper looks likely to be out, can you just boot him and hold that premo? If you hold some cashola, you can always look to get Hopper back in.

 

[vic_LION]

Really want to trade out Cummings, but none of the other defenders have really sold me. Already have Daicos, might go Ryan, but so unsure about the freo defenders. Any thoughts?

Don’t have hopper mate, I actually traded him out as it was my only way to cogs

Need me to lend you Sam Flanders?

I don’t think you’re wrong in your particular case. Like, who would you get rid of for those players? Outside rookies, you only have 3 players with a sub-100 average - Young, Callaghan and JHF. Port were putrid, so you hope that score was an aberration, and Callaghan and Young were unlucky with contact injuries. All of those would be knee-jerk trades off a single game of data, and going against why you picked them in the first place.

Everyone bringing in those players is cutting a cancer out of their team ASAP to remain competitive (like Bruhn).

In my mind, you only need to be aggressive at the top if you have all the successful PODs already and want to zig while everyone else is zagging, i.e. you already have LDU and Daicos, and think B. Cox has a good 6 weeks in him.

Damn - that’s a really good starting team and you’ve only used 1 trade - well done!

Now you are punished for that good start/ planning, as it is darn hard to get Setters & Ziebell in - go figure

Young is your only iffy one, but too hard to trade for those two midpricers

Not everyone, but most. If you've got spuds to clear it's a no brainer but it gets interesting if you don't, which is why you find numbers 3 & 10 on the most popular trades list

 

[54Dogs]

Surprised no JZ in the top 10 to/from trades, that said number 6 on the most traded in players

 

[Dark Sharks]

I just find it hard to believe Setterpenis is the real deal.

Essendon have flogged a couple spud teams and I think he's relished whatever role they've got currently for him.

Still, cash is cash I guess. With that BE he can be a potato in 2 weeks time and it won't even bother you.

Think this is fine, except Ziebell is D6 or F6 at 350k. You aren't gonna get that at any other point in the season.

Same he wasn’t like this at Carlton lol his the man for cbas so far

 

[Blackhawk42]

Hearing you loud and clear Blackhawk. So, I reckon I'm down to two options, trading out Dale/Bruhn/Flanders for Daicos/D Cameron/McKenna or Chandler. Basically, comes down to McKenna v Chandler. See below for teams after the two trade options. Which structure do you like better.

I'm giving him this week, with Steele out. Hoping he improves, otherwise same as you he becomes Bowes if Bowes goes well again.


Thanks for the reply, and yes poor typing on my part there. It is Darcy Cameron indeed, and for the exact reason you mentioned as ruck cover for English/Marshall.

So, Option 1 is Dale/Bruhn/Flanders to Daicos/D Cameron/McKenna leaves me with this:

View attachment 1643203
Flanders gone for D Cameron, and Constable off field for McKenna, but means Hollands/Bytel come on field.

Option 2 is Dale/Bruhn/Flanders to Daicos/D Cameron/Chandler leaves me with this:

View attachment 1643205

Chandler on the bench, Constable stays on field. $43k extra cash in bank.

Just can't quite decide which structure I like better.

As long as Kelly is named, I prefer option A personally.

 

[54Dogs]

Same he wasn’t like this at Carlton lol his the man for cbas so far

He only had 4 games at Carlton with over 60% CBAs

98
107
141
97

Avge: 110

Now 2 games at Essendon with over 60% CBAs

147
99

Avge: 123

I'm not jumping on the Ziebell train but I will say this: even though he's fine as a short term cash cow, I think it would be presumptuous to base your SC plans around the hypothesis that he'll be best 22 for the entire season.

agree

but with the short term scoring role, cash to be made and pending DP status it's a reasonable play at this stage
