Ruck Upgrades????

Who to upgrade too?

I Have Cox, Smith, Lobbe & Tippet as a DPP with Petrie as a DPP in the Forward Line.

I'm in an elimination final so I was thinking Smith to Mumford, Jacobs or
Leuenberger? My opponent has Cox & Sandi.

Thoughts???

Re: Ruck Upgrades????

Have two trades left. Fairly sold on D. Swallow to Priddis (picking big last month, especially with Kerr and Shuey to attract some decent attention). I wanted to upgrade Smith to someone (also have Cox and Vickery). Was $2,000 short of Leunenberger. I might risk it and save a trade for next week or could even upgrade a forward.

Re: Ruck Upgrades????

Went Bailey to Jolly, pretty happy with that

 

[BigVic]

With the Cats having the bye, this will hurt a few coaches especially those with Steve Johnson, Chapman, Enright, Selwood and Bartel who will be out this week.

Good luck to everyone in the Semi Finals.

 

[HolyRioli]

Only Chapman for me, will probably get a look at Cloke as he doesn't usually string two average games together, and Collingwood v Brisbane at the G is just the recipe for a big score.

May also punt Murphy a week earlier than necessary for someone like Thomas, before he drops too far and Thomas's price increases too much. Thoughts?

 

[Lemma]

Only Bartel for me (I've been longing for this week!)

 

[rdangelo]

On the Freo board some talk of Lower & Pavlich injuries in the Injury thread - could cause some further issues.

 

[Noobz0r]

Yay for having a bye

 

[faisan]

Yay for having a bye

+1

 

[mollyfud]

Worried about overall. Have Chappy,SteveJ,Bartel & Enright. Have 4 trades but seriously considering saving them to cover rests/injuries/tanking the last 2 rounds! Some tough choices!

 

[Suma Magic]

No Cats but need a ruck upgrade. Can afford Jolly and Ryder. I think I'll get Jolly with my last trade.

I'd get Ryder but i'd go Jolly at the same time so.

Why would you upgrade to an Essendon player at this stage given his bye in the last round of the season makes Jolly a no brainer if it's a 2 horse race......

And a bye in all 3 leagues this week for me, fantastic stuff. Just put in a team and not stress too much about it all.

 

[lmach]

went unbeaten all season and lost my QF by 50 Enright and Mackie for me.

 

[Lemma]

I'm the opposite; a finals specialist. Won it from 8th last year

 

[indy nile]

I'm going to trade Bartel this week, would i be crazy to pick up Barlow? His last 4 scores have been good, with his last 2 being very good. I'm looking for a unique pick, but is there a better option?

 

[Lemma]

Do you have the moolah for Sam Mitchell?

Nah Mate, i have enough for as high as Rockliff, but that's it.

 

[Lemma]

Oh wow there's still lots of options:
I'd first pick either Boyd or Gaz if you don't have either of them (Murphy/Judd are also available but they have the bye next week)
If you have both of them (or want to save money for another trade etc) take your pick from Redden, Rockliff, Priddis, Thompson and, on form, Barlow.

Yeah wasn't thinking, totally forgot about their bye.

I can afford Jolly if I trade Vickery out. Can't afford him if I trade out Smith. I can handle Smith being rested for this week, but if he could miss next week as well could be a problem. Would prefer to have Vickery as R3 over Smith I think.

 

[Rylix]

Didak is my substitute for chappy, how worried should I be about him being the sub... AGAIN?

 

[Bugglz]

I would have thought no chance as he needs match fitness, but then again I would have said that last week as well

Maybe Mick is grooming him as a specialist sub for finals???

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Had a horrible first week, losing 3/4 finals (2 leagues where I finished 1st and one which was elimination). Won my only game by 8. :/

So many average scores. Only thing that would have saved me was if I miraculously played Puopolo instead of Lower. >_< No way to pick that.

Got Enright and Chappy to cover this week. May even just trade Enright outright... really isn't going to be too prolific against the Swans and Pies I would have thought.

 

[inside_player]

Need to turn puopolo pederson or lower into ???

I am thinking suckling, broughton or martin.

Suckling has the blues this week and it seems like their fwd pressure kills opposition teams backline stats, am i wrong?

Broughton should perform to his average

Martin has richmond, gold coast and port ... he scored well in all of the games against them except the gold cost


ur thoughts?

backline is Goddard, gibbs, lids, fisher, adcoc, enright, lower, pederson, puopolo and otten.

Money no issue.

Re: Ruck Upgrades????

If you the money then go Mummy or Burger, though I been quite happy with Ryder's back to back 100's (playing in Perth this week though)
