Round 18 Discussion and Trade Talk

[Rupert]

Sicily is definitely out. From the Hawks web-site:
"Hawthorn defender James Sicily is likely to be sidelined for an extended period after scans revealed he suffered a broken scaphoid in Saturday’s loss to the Brisbane Lions.
Sicily will undergo surgery today and is expected to miss at least six weeks."

I need to trade Nic Nat and Sicily this week and really have two ways to go.

Trade Sicily for a cheaper defender (around 400k) and go Nic Nat to Goldy/Grundy
or
Trade Nic Nat for a same/same ruckman type (Nank/Tbell) and grab premo defender in Crisp/Brayshaw et al (not I have Lloyd).

Thoughts?

Guys - I really rate te DEF/FWD DPP and loosing Sicily is huge for many who have the Keefe swing setup covering both lines.
Obvious choice is TMAC who's had 2 quietish games and he is playing 100% fwd with a tough draw coming up.
Instead of going Crisp/Hurley and loosing that swing, i looked at all the DEF/FWD options.

Take a look at Josh Walker D/F (Bris), now that you've had your giggle, I did too. Look at this heatmap and scores closely.
Brisbane have turned the table on their game the past month and so has Walker.
His first 4 rounds he played as a forward average nothing, that past 4 he is playing 100% defense and averaging around 92 and is a measly $350k, BE 40

It may pay off and vs premo defenders we're saving $100K+ to use one of our last trades.
Any Brissy fans out there have their opinion on his game?

Cheers,
Westy [FISKER FC]

Looks interesting. Thanks.
What's your prediction for his last 6 rounds.

DPP isn't an issue. If I can get someone below $365K that will average 95 in the backline that would be perfect.
That way I can go Nic Nat to Grundy.

Want someone that 'will' average 95 you'll prob need to go a premium. Walker ''may' get around that, but going by his lastl 4 games 80+ he will get. Which is more than I can say for bloody heater Shaw !

Sicily (RIP) > Heeney (yeah I know he has a high b/e this wk)
&
Fyfe* > Macrae* (maybe...depend how Ahern goes with the E & if JPK plays)

Sounds like a very good plan

 

[The Antrobus]

With Nic Nat and Sicily out I guess what I'm asking is what is the best Ruck/Defender combo I can buy for $978,700

Hard to say without knowing which other defenders you currently have but I'll have a crack

Luke Ryan & Sinclair - (Ryan averages 106 at OS and Freo play 4 of their last 6 there. Sinclair consistent 100ppg)
or
Stef Martin & Witherden (3rd highest averaging ruck & Withers averaging 93 from last 5 Brissy team playing well)

ok thanks. Great options.

I've got Nic Nat/Gawn and Cameron.
Hurly, Lloyd, Simpson, Laird, Sicily, Yeo with Ridley/Austin on the bench.

Houli ?

 

[The Antrobus]

His 3 round average is 64. What makes you think he will be at 95 for the rest of the year?

 

[Yort]

Carnage all over this week guys. Sic rip, gray out, hibberd out and running t and j Smith from melb. Was going to down and up t mite this week but with so many outs not sure if it’s worth burning the trades if I run a doughnut as well. Got all the top scorers except T Mac and crisp. But Hurley or ryan look good too. Thoughts

 

[Crackhead]

Ok here is my dilemma. Got nic nat, got sicdog and only have 3 trades and 23k.

Sicdog is in my fwd line and i have guelfi to cover. Other fwds i have is heeney, mclean, fritsch, devon smith and hoff. T smith other bench.

So could do a few things. Nic nat to nank/ sinclair and ride sicdog/ guelfi into finals as at least a donut is covered.
Or i could trade both, up to goldy and then settle for a fwd like billings yuck. And only 1 trade.

I am guranteed a top2 finish in all my leagues. Thoughts please legends?

 

[Crackhead]

Houli ?

Touhy? Geelong need him to dominate.

 

[Orallus_Maximus]

Houli ?

Houli out with groin injury again...

 

[Orallus_Maximus]

I only have to contend with Siciliy this week.

I have 2 DEF (Rice & B Lynch) as bench rookies. Have cover across all other lines.

I'm thinking of loopholing Rice (Fri night game). If he goes well (70+) then I'll save trades and swap Siciliy for Lloyd next week. Failing that Siciliy to Lloyd this week.

Team is sorta premo across all lines (Billlings/Pertacca FWD & Shaw DEF - a bit dubious).

Monitor Maclean and upgrade Holman next week. Puts Rocky on the Mid bench...

Any thoughts out there?
