    Rookies 2016

    I'll probably end up downgrading Smith to him - same bye right? So it's pretty much a wash - and it will put money in the bank to upgrade two or three R14 rooks to R13 primos the next week.

    He didn't really call himself that did he? I thought that was just a name others had bestowed on him ... Having said that I don't really have a strongly enforced "no d***heads" rule in my team.

    Round 11 Trades

    Oh yes. Sorry. Didn't see that. You could just go BenKen to Matherson via Well but you'd then have some who his pretty much a primo on you forward bench. Not ideal given you're still playing rookies on field on your other lines. There doesn't seem to be much point in keeping MacPherson as he's...

    Round 11 Trades

    I think I prefer option 2. Hanners has been great for me since I straight swapped him for Fyfe but Hanners is fully priced and the smart play for you is to pick up Gray and Lids while they're cheap.

    Round 11 Trades

    Bit of a tough one. Lack of cash and midfield DPP means you don't have many options. MacPherson > Matherson Kennedy > back line rookie via Brown DPP (selection dependent, maybe Tucker?) It's not great but it's the best I can think of.

    Round 11 Trades

    No guarantees on anyone not even the players who have travelled OK til this point in the season. It would be wise to watch another game or so from McVeigh but he doesn't look a bad punt for the price for mine. The key is not just that he'd scored a ton but that he looked better and fitter...

    Round 11 Trades

    Basically none of your rookies are ready to cull right? Especially the midfield ones. And McPherson is out for ages. I'd probably recommend getting Mathieson for McPherson and then just Waiting for the rest of the rookies to make some proper money and cull them during the bye rounds.

    Round 11 Trades

    Yes. I started about 10K, only drifted to about 20K and last two weeks have brought me in to just under 8K. 15 trades left after my trades this week. I still need 12 trades for upgrades so only three injury trades to get me through the whole rest of the year ... you may well lap me when I run...

    Round 11 Trades

    Fascinating team and very different from mine (mine is very cookie cutter I think). I'd be facinated to know where you're ranked and how many trades you have left. I presume having held the likes of Rocky you have taken a hit in the ranking but got plenty of trades left?

    BenKen should go IMO. Kerridge doesn't seem a priority to me. Happy to hold him until late. You could bring in Matherson this week and double upgrade next week.

    Round 11 Trades

    It feels like it is almost too late to fix him now if you haven't already done it. Season destroying. What you really need is for a ruckman to emerge midseason like Gawn did last year and Stef did the year before but that just seems a bit too much to hope for ...

    Round 11 Trades

    What you say is true but he seemed to be playing pretty well too. Looked fit. Looked pretty sharp. In the action a fair bit. Playing a role that allows for some decent scoring. Stands to reason he'd take a while to get into the swing of things after that interrupted preseason. Long term track...

    I've been watching Rance fairly closely with a view to bringing him in. Do you think his good scoring correlates with Richmond getting flogged? Lids and Edwards back and looking fit - the Tiges win a couple - and Rance puts in a couple of low SC scores.

    Round 11 Trades

    Well Mathieson looks a very likely inclusion for me (everyone?) this week. Probably Hewitt out for me as my midfield is finished and I don't have many mid rooks to choose from. Then I'm guessing BenKen becomes Dollhouse. Round 14 bye very useful for my forward line and he's probably got as low...

    Oh jeez. What a train wreck. Feeling very fortunate to have got away with 2221 ... thought I was going to be lucky to break to 2000 mark for a while there. But you ... Hall and Murphy? How unlucky can you get?

    Injuries/Late outs

    Top effort by Hall really. Was off the field for a chunk of the first quarter and was on 15SC at half time. Ended up with something like 67SC in a massacre. Must have stood up in the second half.

    Ciaran Bryne a late out with a corked calf apparently. So Weitering it is for me ...

    OK. Maybe just my Richmond bias shining through in that case. :oops:

    Question: Bryne or Weitering for on field duties tomorrow?
