    Round 16 Discussion & Trade Talk

    You've pretty much summed it up in your initial question: Lloyd for good durability. Highest average? Probably Lloyd again.

    Round 16 Discussion & Trade Talk

    I've got all three and happy with all three. Can you wait a week or two before choosing? Webster and T Mac have high BEs - 160 and 196. Lloyd is overpriced even with his low 88BE. At $565,900 you'd want an average of about 110+ for him to be anywhere near value for money. I expect him to...

    Round 15 Discussion and Trade Talk

    Walters back might be an issue. In 3 games without Walters Neale averages 133.33: 123, 118 and 159. Include the rnd.6 game in which Walters was injured and Neale scored 151 and the no-Walters average is 137.75. In 10 games with Walters he averages 100.6: 99, 96, 77, 85, 100, 151, 110, 74, 104...

    Round 15 Discussion and Trade Talk

    With Kade Simpson hitting 300 games this week-end I thought it might be nice to remember a hero of my younger days, another 300-game Carlton defender: Bruce Doull - "the Flying Doormat". His record: 356 games, 4 x premierships, 4 x B&Fs, 1 x Norm Smith, Carlton Hall of Fame. AFL Team of the...

    You can contact the SC people via the web-site. Click on the "?" icon at the top right-hand cnr of the home page, scroll down to "Contact Us" and click on that. You get a form to fill out and send. I've used it a couple of times and they've responded within a couple of hours. Maybe they won't...

    Round 14 Discussion and Trade Talk

    It depends on how you are situated for the finals. If your place in the finals is uncertain then I wouldn't take the trade. You have 2 players who are playing every week and are being offered 2 injured players who are both 3-4 weeks away from playing. By the time they return your finals'...

    Good. That's how I though it worked but nice to have it confirmed. Thanks.

    Round 14 Discussion and Trade Talk

    Let me see if I understand this correctly. As the season goes on you would expect the price change co-efficient to stabilize? If the amount of cash in the game never changes then with less rookies coming in and having large price increases there is more cash to spread around - so to speak. So...

    Round 14 Discussion and Trade Talk

    @Toadvine , @gloryboy Nice to have you guys working these projections. I try to do so using the SC Gold as a guide and that's not too bad. But I'm just an occasional dabbler. fwiw my prediction for Guelfi is $309,500.

    Round 14 Discussion and Trade Talk

    Fritsch is/will be my F6, too. He's been surprisingly good. If he keeps playing wing then I won't be too sorry if I can't upgrade him. Since his return after rnd.5 he's averaged 89. In terms of recent scores, he is ranked 18th for his 3-rnd average and 19th for his 5-rnd. When you remove the...

    Round 14 Discussion and Trade Talk

    Nice to have the 6.10pm WA start time. Means we have an extra 30min to decide on trades.

    Round 14 Discussion and Trade Talk

    Woosha has joined the Hardwick "improbable line-up" club. Zerrett in the back pocket? Fantasia, with 2 centre clearances for the year, at centre bounces?

    Round 14 Discussion and Trade Talk

    I noticed a few posts regarding rnd.14 trades in the rnd.13 thread that would be better off in a rnd.14 thread so I thought I'd start one. I'm unsure as to who I should bring in for Macrae. Port does have a really good run home but unless they win so convincingly each week that their share of...

    Round 13 Discussion and Trade Talk

    I think that I will too. But Macrae->Kelly. It may only be 3-4 weeks but I don't think that Macrae has done a hammy before, so who knows? Mouch hasn't been tearing it up since he returned from his hammy, has he?

    Round 13 Discussion and Trade Talk

    No, I didn't expect them to make the finals. The Sainters had originally had a 5 yr plan which aimed to make the finals in 2018 - but I don't think that they realistically expected to when this year finally arrived. They definitely haven't expected to after they lost several games and some of...

    Round 13 Discussion and Trade Talk

    I'm a Sainter so I'm a bit biased but I do try to be less knee-jerk reactionary. I don't think Richo's job was ever in any real danger, regardless of what the commentariat was saying. I've a few reasons for thinking this. They've got the 4th youngest list and are playing one of the least...

    Round 12 Duscussion and Trade Talk

    @Lowrider I was hoping someone would find cause to use "upgrade cadence". Thanks and congrat.s Now for a "sub-optimal".

    Round 12 Duscussion and Trade Talk

    At 13.39 minutes into the rnd.12 podcast - following a (rather convoluted) explanation by @Marcus SCC of his bye strategy, which included the phrase "upgrade cadence" - @Fbdonkey says: "At this point I think we should acknowledge that we are massive nerds and that was one of the nerdiest things...

    Round 11 Discussion & Trade Talk

    Nothing to do with footy but I thought that one particular sporting achievement by an Aussie should be acknowledged. Adam Hansen has brought his streak of 20 grand tours (cycling) to an end with the finish of the Giro. He started with the 2011 Vuelta and has ridden in, and completed, every grand...

    Round 10 Discussion & Trade Talk

    If you can afford to wait, may I suggest Austin? A bit pricier at $159,700 but very good JS. Brown is out for 4-6 weeks and Carlile is playing both fwd and back.
