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.

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...

Do we need to talk about Jarred Lyon? Don't remember anyone talking about his as an option this year. Available as MID / FWD. Playing awesome. 23 contested possies this week ...

The boys put out the call on this weeks podcast for guests for upcoming episodes - Plenty of great characters frequent these threads. And the occasional person who knows a bit about SC as well. :rolleyes: So who has put up their hand. It would be fun to hear what a few of you regulars sound...

So ... Newman to Lloyd actually makes about 20K this week ... but is it worth the trade. I was all set to do it but it is damn hard to trade out a guy who is scoring like Newman. I can't really afford to get Lloyd via another trade and I don't really want that much value sitting on my bench so...

Scooter looks to have done a hammy. Seems he'll end up a bit of a disappointment for those that brought him in.

So if I go through with my planned trades this week and then go Newman > Lloyd next week my team would be: Doc, Adams, Laird, Roberton, Hibberd, Lloyd. Scharenberg, Ryan. Danger, Pendles, Jelwood, Rocky, Fyfe, Beams, Dusty, Bont. Meyers, Greenwood, Bolton. Witts, Sandi. Cameron. Dahl...

Good boy Jelwood.

Heath Shaw the main one who I'll be looking at early I think. Dropped around $30K already and will drop more. If I can get him at about $500K in two or three weeks I'll be pretty pleased. Then I'll have collected the full set of Doc, Shaw, Adams, and Laird.

Gee, I'd be fascinated to know what the hell is going on with Hanners and Parky. Still round about the play ... not obviously carrying injuries although both, especially Parker, had interrupted preseasons ... just look like regular players at the moment. Kind of insipid. No X factor ... Both...

I missed the Pies v Swans game and I'd love a bit of feedback for future trades: Hanners scored OK ... is he back? Parker ... had an interrupted preseason so I was hoping for a slow start to the year for him and then looking at him as an upgrade target, so how did he look? Newman, looks like a...

Picking Josh Caddy my only big one. Heaps of people on here said "don't do it, pick Buddy instead" but I thought I knew better. Then I saw him play. He moves SO slowly. Oh well. Live and learn. I'll hold and hope he looks better in a more contested sort of game. Jy Simpkin my only other one...

Teams that win more games tend to have more points to share around so which teams are likely to do very well or very badly may have some bearing in the primos we pick. A lot of sport journalist and commentators seem to have a pretty similar read on the upcoming season and where teams are...

So far the only midpricers to get near my team have been Swallow and Sandi and I've since flicked Sandi given his calf ... but two intraclub matches into the season and there are reports of Jaeger kicking three goals from the midfield and all of a sudden I feel that strange midpricery feeling...

:) The boys are back! :) First podcast downloading now. :)

Wow. Sandi to miss the preseason comp with a calf strain: http://m.afl.com.au/news/2017-02-01/veteran-docker-sandilands-ruled-out-with-calf-injury That is going to make for some big rethinks.

Really only two who I'm prepared to consider: Hibberd - about 400K, a couple of years ago there were folks lining up to pay 500K for this bloke (great deal that turned out to be o_O) and he was spoken about in the same breath as Simpson. Now you can't get any takers at 400K. Will surely...

Doc - 591K, still grinding my teeth over this guy. Had him two years ago and he was frustrating. Let him run against me last year and he broke out. 591K is a fair bit to pay for a guy who has only had one big season. Simmo - 578K, I've never liked this bloke much and it hurt me last year as he...

With 211 looking like being a pretty popular pick at R2 many coaches will be looking at ruck cover right from round 1. Of course those who took TBC a year or so ago as ruck cover might think of ruck cover as a highly overrated concept. Anyway ... Ryder - just over $400K - would need to score at...

Danger, Pendles - very high priced and for good reason. Most will be starting one to ensure a good VC / C option. Is anyone taking both? Or leaving both as upgrade targets? Jelwood, JPK - high priced very consistent performers. Both with not-completely-justified reputations as slow starters and...
