    What to do

    Looks a strong team. If Danger does have a couple of down games and you can get him in five or six weeks weeks time you'd be flying.

    Round 3 Trades

    You can do without Witts as long as you have most of the other good rookies I think. I'd only bring Witts in if you happened to have the cash to bring him in for Strnadica. Preuss is probably an OK selection if he is still picked with Goldy back in the side. He won't score 100 each week but as...

    Round 3 Trades

    Very line ball. Sandi is still likely to turn out to be a good pick isn't he? Sandi to Witts will probably only net you the 100K it put in your pocket and that probably isn't worth the trade. I haven't actually seen the GWS games so I can't really comment on Taranto. I'd do this trade if...

    Players X. vs Y. vs Z.

    I'm bringing in WHE this round. I already have Marchbank, Otten, Hampton, Stewart, SPP, Taranto, Barrett, Witts, Butler, Eddy, Parfitt and Cameron. Likely to bring in Newman for Hibberd next week. So ... I'm thinking of flicking Simpkin to bring in: Nankervis - or - Houston Can't make up...

    What to do

    It is the money the WHE and Marchbank should make over the next 6-8 weeks that is important more than the coin it will immediately put in your pocket.

    What to do

    I disagree here fairly strongly. I reckon this round it is really important to get the best money making rookies in. The biggest must have is Pepper in the midfield. I think Marchbank and WHE might not be absolute must haves but look like they have very strong job security and will probably...

    Round 3 Trades

    My two cents: I factor in 2x correction trades this round. Priority is making sure you have the guys who will make money. If you can go someone like Pickett to WHE I'd do that trade even if Pickett is selected. Also I think going Hanners to WHE via DPP is better than going a better rookie up...

    What to do

    Wow. Interesting poser. Very tough. I think when it comes down to it this round you need to get the players who will generate coin in ... so I'm going to say out Mills and Pickett and in Marchbank and WHE ... I think you are likely to be in for big pain either way you jump.

    Round 3 Trades

    I don't hate this move. This is the week for rookie corrections. I have Witts at R3 and Butler at F7 and I've got pretty much the same plan to trade Witts down to a R/F link when he's maxed out his cash making ... I think Witts is looking like a very strong chance of making $200K the way he's...

    Round 3 Trades

    As mentioned above if Houston survive Pittard and Hartlett coming back he should be a pretty good pick. I reckon Butler should be good for a couple more games and probably more. He's been around a couple of years so he's not a kid. Fits the Tiges new game style perfectly. Fit, gets up the...

    Round 3 Trades

    I don't mind option 3. Obviously better to have started with Marchbank and WHE but if you've missed them it seems like a pretty fair correction. Should both make enough coin to be seen as successful trades and having their points on field is likely to be pretty handy.

    Round 3 Trades

    As I posted in the other thread possible outs for me are Caddy and Simpkin in order to get in WHE and / or Houston. Plenty of risk in the plan. Houston could easily be forced out at Port and Simpkin probably only needs to fluke on good game to make it a poor trade in terms of money made ...

    Round 3 Trades

    Newman will be on the bubble after one more round and he played well. If it looks like Hibberd won't break back into the team for North then I'll probably do this as a correction next week.

    Very bad luck that. It looks like Eddy being out and then back in again really screwed with a few people this week. That is SuperCoach for you isn't it? You really have to factor in getting screwed a couple of times for the year and then if you make it through unscathed that's a bonus.

    Round 2 Trades

    I just watched Hinkley's post game press conference. He said the Pittard and Hartlett were both expected to play next week so that should hopefully give some clarity. If Huston survives them coming back I'll pick him with confidence.

    I scored 2200 almost exactly and it ranked me 24K approx for the week.

    Round 2 Trades

    So, here is my plan. Caddy down to WHE. I think Caddy looks like a good pick up for the Tiges but I have mild regrets about starting him in my SC team and he is pretty much the only way for me to get in WHE who looks like he'll make good coin. What do people think, worth the trade? Then I...

    There've been some years where 1850 in the first round would be a fine score. Not this year.
