    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...

    Trades before round 7

    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...

    Trades Before Round 6

    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?

    Last minute questions/team changes!

    Personally, I think the only way to go in the fwd line is with 3 rookies. ie 1 onfield. Just not convinced at all with the cash making potential of the FWD line rookies. I've got Fristch/Langdon/Ryan myself. Which means I have to run with Garlett in the mid. Again, I'm not convinced necessarily...

    Last minute questions/team changes!

    Given he’s named. I reckon you do. Can always correct in 2 weeks. I went him over Barry on the mid bench for a bit of DPP flexibility. But I’m not sold on either player to be honest. The one spot doing my head in is R2. Currently running with Nank. Lot of value there but there’s always that...

    2018 Defence Premiums

    I'm not sold on the job security of either tbh. Byrne is the other one that comes to mind but something doesn't sit right with me forking out the money for 2 rookies above the $200k price tag. I've decided to go Sicily@D3 and Bonner@D4 which means I'll be fielding Brayshaw, Brodie & Kelly in...

    2018 Defence Premiums

    Was initially going to run with the 2 premo + 6 rookies setup in DEF with Bonner@D3 but that was on the basis of Coffield or O'Shea playing. O'Shea not selected and Coffield might possibly miss too, think I might have to revert back to the 3 premo + 5 rookie option now

    2018 Forward Premiums

    The thing that concerns me most about McLean now is that Picken looks like he will be out for an indefinite period of time so that's like to increase McLean's time up forward again. FWIW I think McLean has real upside. It's basically between McLean, Walters and Lambert for me atm. All god PODs imo
