    Round 13 Discussion and Trade Talk

    I'm a little undecided what to do this week. Looking at forward and defender upgrades, but it's a little bit of a struggle. Yeo and McLean are the obvious 2 I don't have. However, both have 140+ BE's and had a low score last game - so will see 2 weeks of high BE's and price drops. So I could...

    Round 13 Discussion and Trade Talk

    Response to the post on the other thread about the bubble boys this week. Ahern and Mihocek have the bye this week. So does Taylor from GWS. Single gamers Redman and Smith also on the bye. Battle is the other single-gamer who will play this week but will have his bye in round 14. True...

    BYE WEEK HELL PROJECTION POLL

    1600 it is. Predicted to win my league match by 40 and ended up losing by 40 :(

    BYE WEEK HELL PROJECTION POLL

    1703 for me. I have 5 to play though - Gawn (C), Grundy, Oliver, Spargo, Fritsch - so could be 1600 or 1800. Hoping for an old-fashioned shootout in the ruck today - 150+ apiece would be nice....

    Round 12 Duscussion and Trade Talk

    Assume you're not trading them in this week? If you are I'd probably hold off. Treloar would be a great option post-bye. Danger still a good option post-bye, although not setting the world on fire. Macrae is hard for me to recommend - Dogs have the hardest draw and he still has 2 Jacobs game...

    Round 12 Duscussion and Trade Talk

    Kept an eye on Robbie Gray and he's looked really slow on multiple occasions. Like he did last year when he was spending all his time in the forward line. At one stage he had a 10m break on McIntosh on the wing and he ran him down within 25m. I know McIntosh is quick, but it looked like...

    Round 12 Duscussion and Trade Talk

    Most traded out this week is Dusty with 5% jumping off.... Personally I've gone for 2 massive PODs this week - Miller and Jonas. Risky++, but will probably be getting the popular guys over the next couple of weeks and these guys looked like reasonable post-bye players. Also grabbed Austin...

    Round 12 Duscussion and Trade Talk

    Love a good bit of carnage, especially across the byes. I've got 17 players before trades, so should be able to get 19 on field + 1 on the forward bench that' I can loophole. I was planning to do 2-3 downgrades this week, but given the carnage I'm tempted to increase my upgrade cadence and get...

    Round 12 Duscussion and Trade Talk

    I'd dump Mirra, his last game was awful . As a Hawks fan, we're in trouble if he's getting a game. He can't contain his opponent and some of his (frequent) turnovers are horrific. Nice VFL player, but should only get an AFL game if our backline is crippled with injury.

    Round 12 Duscussion and Trade Talk

    Have done some fixture analysis. This is the average percentage of the upcoming opponents for the rest of the year, to give some guide as to the difficulty of a team's draw. Hawthorn 89.1 Carlton 90.1 North Melbourne 96.4 Port Adelaide 99.3 Melbourne 100.6 Richmond 100.7 Brisbane 101.3...

    Round 12 Duscussion and Trade Talk

    Reports are Dusty will fly back on Sun/Mon to prepare for the Cats in round 13. Given they have the bye in round 14, he must be a chance to reconsider and stay on a bit longer and miss next week as well. If he was reasonably-priced I'd consider trading him, but at $483k it's hard to justify...

    Round 12 Duscussion and Trade Talk

    If those 3 miss I'll end up with 20 - but 8 forwards so effectively only 18 able to get on field. I will look at a couple of moves this week - Austin, Ahern, ?someone else - so I should be fine. I might also try and flip some DPP around and get Sicily onto the forward bench too to give me the...

    Round 11 Discussion & Trade Talk

    Potentially could add Ridley on that list too. Worst player in a thrashing, you'd think he's pencilled in the VFL team for next week.

    Or Tim Smith.... Oh wait.... We all did :(

    Ditto. Probably have to play safe and take Gawn

    Round 11 Discussion & Trade Talk

    I ended up along the same path and brought in the same two. I think there is a good chance Walters goes 100 from here, but no guarantee. Happy to take him on for now.

    Round 11 Discussion & Trade Talk

    I'm going against popular opinion and it's Rice by some margin for me. He looked quite good and you'd think he's got more JS in the Saints backline. Potential to increase his scoring significantly too. I also like that he's increased his scoring from the first game which to me means he's...

    Round 11 Discussion & Trade Talk

    Sounds like we might have a couple of midfield options coming up. Ahern is apparently close to getting named this week and Giro ($102k) is apparently banging down the door with his form in the WAFL. Giro sounds a lot like Dylan Clarke - midfielder who racks up the pill but "needs to work on...

    Round 11 Discussion & Trade Talk

    It really sucks. I think you just have to hold and pray for one of several things: - He comes good - A ruckman gets a long-term injury and their replacement is a decent option (e.g. Ceglar if McEvoy goes down) The other option is to punt on Goldy who's not that far away. I think spending...
