    Round 3 Discussion and Trades

    Heeney and Dunkley are my biggest concerns. More so Heeney. Looks underdone and not playing the midfield mins I expected. I still think Dunkley has a lot of upside. He's getting enough midfield time, just a bit of a slow start to the season. Thinking Heeney -> T.Kelly this week as my only...

    Forwards

    That F3 spot is my biggest decision, no doubt. It pretty much determines whether I can fit both Gawn and Grundy and whether I can go a bit deeper in def than previous years. So bloody difficult to decide.

    Forwards

    Thoughts on D.Moore at F3? If he gets a good run at it injury wise, I think he's hard to pass up. Given I can't pick an F3 with confidence, picking Moore at 239k really allows me to balance my other lines.

    Round 9 Discussion & Trade Talk

    Naughton getting injured has thrown my plans into chaos. Had him on field. My DEF & FWD lines now reads: DEF: Laird, Hurley, Doedee, Murray, Naughton, Cole (Mirra, Murphy) FWD: McLean, Heeney, Sicily, Smith, Billings, Higgins (Spargo, Guelfi) Looking at doing: Naughton > Ronke (via Finlayson...

    Round 8 Discussion & Trade Talk

    Banfield -> Spargo is locked and loaded. Leaves me with 215k to upgrade one Billings/Christensen/Finlayson/Doedee/Murray to a premo. Thinking Oliver or Crouch. Thoughts on which one to trade out first? Billings is causing me too much anxiety and I really want to just boot him out. But I feel...

    Did Bonner > Cole & Holman > Macrae this week. Very happy indeed. Scored 2344. Now to just f%^& Billings off :mad:

    Trades before round 7

    I want Jack Macrae. I just don't know who to trade him in for. My 3 options are Walters (injured), Billings (a dud) or Christensen whose pretty much maxed out with a BE of 87. Walters looks like he will miss 2-3 at worst, so I'm willing to prob hold him for at least another week. I hate...

    Christensen is on your bench? He's currently my F6. Not really comfortable playing a rookie like Guelfi on field myself.

    Trades Before Round 6

    I'm stuck. Already got Mirra and trying to get Danger in next week. Garlett > Guelfi is a lock. But I can't decide one whether to go Fritsch to ZGL or Higgins. Decision would be so much easier if ZGL had DPP as well!

    Trades Before Round 6

    Brought Mirra in last week a week early in prep for a double downgrade this week which will allow me to upgrade one of Christensen or Bonner to Danger next week. Provided they're named, reckon I will be doing: Garlett -> Higgins Fristch -> Guelfi Higgins' job security is a concern, however I...

    Trades before Round 5

    Fair enough, I'd prefer to give him at least half the year to confirm I'm happy to pay absolute top $ for him, even if it means sacrificing another 40k. Certainly has the makings to do so, not doubting that, but he isn't a proven supercoach star like your Cox's or Goldstein's, so I'm happy to...

    Trades before Round 5

    I know Grundy is killing it at the moment, but we are only 4 rounds in and 611k is a crap load to pay for a ruckman. He does look good but I highly doubt he will maintain that price throughout the year. I can understand people bringing him in if one of their ruckmen is injured but I'd be keeping...

    Trades before Round 5

    Billings. Sh*tting me up the wall, big time. I'm resigned to the fact that I'll have to keep him now. It's a waste of a trade to use your cash to upgrade him to a better performing premium. Worst case scenario is Billings will be my F6, and just gotta pray at some stage he turns it arounds...

    Trades before round 3

    Ranked top 250 atm so pretty happy with the start but this is where the real challenge begins. ZGL -> L.Murphy via Sicily H.Clark -> Z.Fisher via McLean

    Round 1 Discussion.

    You would be crazy to not lock Dusty in as skipper. I'm now in a big pickle and don't know what to do with Brodie. Do I go one less premo in DEF and then upgrade Brodie to Coniglio? Or do I swap Brodie for say Clark and back him in on field?
