    2018 Forward Premiums

    No. Established scoring pattern. Might improve but very unlikely to improve enough to be better than an average pick. I’m a Tige’s Supporter too. Caddy was a great pick up for the Tiges. He’s not a great pick up for your SC side IMO.

    Multi-Position Players

    Apart from forward/rucks (of which there are almost none this year ... I wouldn’t sacrifice scoring for DPP. I usually try to get forward/mid as the season goes on and sometimes back/mid as well but I wouldn’t pick a player I thought was second best just to get it at the start of the year.

    2018 Defence Premiums

    I considered him. Had a quick glance at his record. Decided it was just a bit too speculative for me. Definitely not the worst pick. Could pay off. Will reserve my right to trade him in for about 500K if he comes out and smashes it.

    2018 Defence Premiums

    Brandon Ellis could be an option at 500K. In consideration for D3 for me. Probably up against Simpson (or a real cheapie depending how many defensive rookies come through). Ellis is a bit of a panic merchant though and his DE is not the greatest. Averaged OK once switched back to defence last...

    I like this pick. Currently my M5.

    Proepector's Strawman

    Yeah. I’m having a sniff around Luke McDonald.

    Proepector's Strawman

    Really not keen on the Menegola pick myself. I think his price is probably inflated because he had midfield opportunities last year and their might be less of that with Gazza arriving. But of course you already know that so what’s your thinking?

    League Finals Week 2 - Trades

    Very similar to my situation except I had to replace the ruck last week (Witts). I went Witts to Stef and now I'm going to go Jelwood to Parker (I think),

    League Finals Week 2 - Trades

    Survived my first cash league elimination. Think I'll be going Jelwood to Parker this week. Can't quite afford Neale with a single trade. This will leave me 2 trades left and 30K in the bank. Good luck everyone ... see you next year if I don't make it.

    League Finals Week 1 Trades

    Witts is a must trade for me too. I can get Stef or Grundy with a single trade (I have four left). I prefer Stef now Archie has been dropped. My other option is spend a second trade (two of my last four) to get up the Kreuzer or Ryder. I'm favouring Ryder if I go down this path because Kreuzer...

    League Finals Week 1 Trades

    He's young and probably growing up in public which isn't easy, but ... the diving incident was pretty dishonourable. And the subsequent tweet to Damien Martyn put him pretty squarely in the flog category. Still I've picked plenty of S**t blokes in my SC team before now ... and I've got an...

    League Finals Week 1 Trades

    Solid trades. Have you looked at the run home for the two rucks? That could be the deciding factor.

    League Finals Week 1 Trades

    So ... Clayton Oliver. Really can't stand the bloke but this is a hell of a second year of SC scoring he's putting together. Only dropped under 100 four time. Only under 90 once. Extrodinary really for a bloke who is a genuine rookie (i.e. Not mature aged) and had only played a dozen games...

    Rockliff Dilemma

    He was absolutely garbage. I don't know what is wrong with him but that was one of the poorest displays I've seen by a SC player I've owned.

    Rd 19 trades.......

    First time all year I genuinely have not a feel for who to bring in. Pendles out and ... Parker no Zerritt no Ebert no Cotchin no Neale no Ward no Someone but I'm damned if I know who in. Already have: Danger Mitchell Selwood Dusty Bont Fyfe Rocky

    Round 18 Trades

    Unless you are playing to win a league. Brisbane playing North in Rd 23. Looks a juicy matchup.

    Round 18 Trades

    Nope. I'm pretty sure all the ones I've mentioned are DEF only. I've got Witherden in the MIDs which is why the DPP donut holds some appeal. Also still have Sharenberg and Ryan in DEF so cover is already good.
