    Round 11 Discussion

    There is a difference between Scooter being a good pick and a must have. I assessed Scooter as being a good pick but I didn't pick him because he didn't suit my side or my upgrade timetable. When Rocky is back I already have 8 midfield primos. I have a bunch of rookies close to maxed out...

    Wrong thread. But maybe Marchbank to Sharrenberg.

    I've flicked him and kept Taranto. Someone had to go.

    Greene or Wallis ... Wallis or Greene ... Greene or ... Hmmm, I've worked out my targets in all the other primo stops except this one. Can get Greene this week or Wallis next week ... Does anyone have a compelling argument why I should go one and avoid the other?

    Round 11 Trades

    I might consider something like this at the business end of the season trades depending. I currently have 5x rookies on field 2 down back and three up forward. They are the priority.

    Round 11 Trades

    Well, yeah. Maybe more like the $400 question in my case because I'm out of the hunt for overall but still well in the hunt for my only cash league. I've been playing it safe this whole time ... being disciplined ... but now, this week, I have to take into the dark. It will be one of: Greene...

    Round 11 Trades

    Scooter might be a fine pick but it is completely the wrong time of the year for him for me ... I've already got 8 primo mids and my mid rookies need to get properly downgraded so I can make enough cash to upgrade the other lines.

    Round 11 Trades

    I need two more backs (already have Doc, Laird, Adams, Hibberd). Targets: Roberton next week, maybe Lloyd as my final upgrade. I also need three more forwards (I already have Macrae, Dahl, and Nank). Targets: Yeo the week after next ... and bloody hell it is hard to decide on the final two...

    Round 11 Trades

    This pretty much sums up my thinking. I've got SandiWittiNank. I was thinking of getting Goldy but this week has scared me off again. I'm thinking of holding for time being and swapping one of Sandi and Witts to Gawn if / when he comes back and looks OK. The other can be a final correction if...

    ROUND 10 TRADES

    I might have gone Ryder but I would have needed a Backline downgrade and there weren't any with Frazer Mc not making it to a third game (and no way I'm going early in Shazza with that injury history). So this week I'm going: Marchbank to Hibberd Butler to Greenwood (to save a donut)

    ROUND 10 TRADES

    Yep, fair points. Speaking of NRoo he is actually the one I'm more likely to get I think after he's had a couple of weeks off if he looks OK when he's back.

    ROUND 10 TRADES

    Agree with some of this but not all. I got Wallis in as cover in the midfield last year and he served me very very well. The pass mark is a bit different in the forward line to the midfield. If he puts in a couple of low ones it doesn't matter so much as long as his good ones are good. I'm...

    ROUND 10 TRADES

    What's your thinking on Sandi to Ryder if I may ask. I've been tossing up whether to go March to Hibberd or Butler to Ryder ... I've got Sandi too but it seems a luxury to trade him out.

    ROUND 10 TRADES

    Lloyd and Roberton look the obvious picks on exposed form. What about Jarod Harbrow? History says "no, never in a million years", but he's tonned up all games but one this year. Anyone know what going on here? Role change? Or will he revert to the mean? If one was tempted to get him now would...

    Hard to argue with this. Very solid trades.

    Round 9 Trades

    Because of the reason he costs 510K instead of 610K. Reportedly injured his groin in R4 and has been disappointing in SC terms ever since. Not saying don't get him ... if he shakes of the injury, maybe after the bye, he'd be a great pick up.

    Meyers is a lock for me. Perfect type for a downgrade for mine. I'd reconsider if there were actual reasons people have cold feet ... As to ranking - just over 2,100 this week saw me rise about 600 places to just outside top 20K. Sorry of my year. I've scored between 2,000 and 2,150 almost...

    Round 8 discussion

    Down to David Meyers is my first move this week (probably Butler down). Then I have to start upgrading my FWDs and DEF ... but where to start. I already have Dahl, Macrae and Nank and Ill target 3/4 of the following for the FWD line: Yeo Heaney Tom Lynch (GCS) - after he bottoms out after...
