I'm also bringing in Logue: good JS, might score quite well, gets me some much-needed cash.

I'm relatively competetive this year but that's mostly because of Grundy and his "c" scores. My defence is good, if not outstanding. but my mids and fwds are very spotty: Pendlebury and Buddy my 2 A-graders, the rest either maybes or not-quite-theres. Still, I'm OK with my fwd as apart from...

I started B Crouch and I'm happy to keep him. I always thought that he would start slowly due to having missed all of last year. But I always thought that he would come good in the 2nd half of the season. His recent scores suggest I might be right: 3-rnd average - 117.7; 5-rnd average - 110.4

Two down and one to go! I hope everyone has done OK so far. This week it looks like most teams should score well. With teams upgraded and able to field 20 or more there should be less of those pesky rookie scores counted. After trades, I should be able to have 20 on field with 7 rookies but...

Well what do I know? Walters with a huge 150+ score on the back of 6 goals. R Gray playing mid-fwd but scores 99.

If you held both Walsh and ROB you'd be happy. I traded out both a few weeks ago to avoid donuts and bring in premiums. e.g. Josh Kelly and Boak, so I'm not too distressed. And as @nawtay says, how could you have predicted ROB (and Walsh) would get such high scores and in a bye round? In the 6...

I don't really like either. Walters has played only had 2 seasons, 2015-6, when he's played 20+ games. Gray doesn't miss many but he seems to play injured a lot and spend a fair bit of time fwd. I prefer Daniel at $484,700: a hbf role with consistent scoring. Or Ziebell, who I'm bringing in...

Well, I hope people got through the first bye week OK. As is often said, you can make up good ground in the rankings if you have prepared well and have a bit of luck. I've got 16 on field before trades this week- assuming Stocker and Hayes don't play. So I'll probably be bringing in Bewley and...

Houli has been good but the usual caveats apply: in 12 seasons he has never had a SC average better than 95.6 and he has only had 3 seasons with a 90+ average he has a poor injury history over the last 4 seasons he is a 31yr old I'm trading Moore->Andrews: I think Moore has peaked and for only...

As per usual, I think your main aim should be to upgrade rookies when you can. During the bye rounds you should try to ensure this downgrade/upgrade process ensures at least 18 on-field each bye round. Trade towards those objectives. Your having 21 on-field this week leads me to think you're...

Perhaps Whitfield->Lloyd? You can just afford it and you get a guaranteed premium in for a guaranteed premium. Unless Lloyd's rnd.13 bye is an issue?

In the past I've generally found that, during the byes, whatever trade plans I make prior to teams selections are worthless. I can put together all kinds of plans: "if this player is in/out then I will trade ...." But then unexpected ins/outs have me scrambling to adjust. So while I consider...

First bye week and things get very interesting indeed. I've got 19 on-field if everyone plays, 16 if all of Z Williams, Whitfield and M Crouch are out. I'd rather not trade but I may have no option.

I know a few Bombers supporters who think he has very good short-term JS due to injuries to fwds: Stringer, Daniher, Smith Baker suits my team best this round. I'm happy to bypass Begley.

I was in the same position as @nawtay : wanted to keep ROB but had 4 donuts. I'm not convinced that Jacobs will come straight back in to the AFL without a SANFL game. If he does and ROB loses his spot then of course you trade but until then I'd keep him. A playing ruck for rnd.13 will be very...

Constable would be my M7 if he was playing but as he isn't getting games there is no point holding him. I've still got too many under-performing rookies on-field but I think the cash from a double down-grade is too good to pass up.

With two reasonable rookies on the bubble this week I'm thinking of a double down-grade. Hinge ($123,900 def) and O Baker ($123,900 mid) are the obvious trade-ins but who to trade out? In defence, Scrimshaw looks the best: 75BE and 66av. In the mids it's probably Constable if he misses again.

Well done.

I wouldn't take Neale - Freo tend to tag and Neale is the likely target. Gawn has gone big against GWS - 2018: 156 but no Mumford; 2017: 160 with Mumford I'd probably roll the dice and take Gawn. Fyfe's 118 is just that little bit below par. [Assuming you read this in time.]

All my rookies performed terribly this week and most have high BEs. I would really like to move them on. Unfortunately, there aren't too many replacements available. Wills and Marsh - iffy JS and pricey, Farrell - maybe better JS but even pricier I may just have to hold on to my rookies and...
