    Round 12 Trades

    Recent hamstring issue aside, most of Rocky's issues have been collision injuries. Obviously part of the way he plays, but perhaps more freak occurrences than unreliability issues. Form was more of a concern for me. If he scores well this week I will probably look at him seriously as he does...

    Forwards 2016

    Agreed Doddy. I traded Hall out 3 weeks ago (and was roundly criticised for it) and am very happy with my decision, especially when you consider Bont's form on the weekend. He has a suspect shoulder, is in poor form for 2 months now and is not a proven premium. If you question the premium...

    Round 11 Discussion

    I won 3/4 leagues. The only one I lost I scored the 2nd highest score in the league and lost to the highest scorer :confused:

    Lonergan......... *sigh*. 46 points in the first quarter leading all-comers. Injured in the 2nd quarter and iced up on 62 :(

    Haven't done the calculation, but not sure he'll be under $500k this week!!

    Round 11 Captaincy

    Rain supposed to clear up this evening for the Gold Coast game. It's very very wet up here though so the ground will be potentially underwater still. Not sure what the drainage is like at Metricon...

    Round 11 Captaincy

    With Goldy out I'm now going Zorko VC into Titch C.

    Injuries/Late outs

    Confirmed, Goldy is officially out. Good week for Hickey to post a 120 as his replacement....

    Round 11 Captaincy

    Want to be the C on Zorko as the most reliable option this week. Thus it's VC on Goldy unless he doesn't play. Avoiding Danger as tagged out of it by Coniglio last time. Gawn maybe, but Hawks tend not to give up big ruck scores and plays same time as Zorko. Only other option I like is Titch...

    Round 11 Trades

    I've had him since the start of the year. No massive scores since round 1, but a good solid contributor. Planning to keep him, Adams and maybe Kerridge as a rotating F6/7/8 depending on opponents to give me the DPP flexibility to cover most potential problems. Hopefully I can even use him as...

    Round 11 Trades

    At this stage I've gone BenKen to Zorko and Menadue to Tucker (pending teams). Passing on Mathieson as I don't need a midfield rookie right now, and in principle for the arm raising and calling himself beast-mode. That will leave me short 1 forward premium and probably 2 midfield premiums...

    Round 11 Trades

    Against Suns this week he might get another 100... then what do you make of it? Is it just playing the Suns and every Swan is junking it up? It wouldn't surprise me if he tonned up this week and then went at 80-85 for the rest of the year.

    Round 11 Trades

    I don't think anyone would have predicted he would be going at 80 preseason. Out of NN or Gawn - Gawn is a rollercoaster, but a great captaincy option. NN is very consistent this year, but doesn't go really big as often as Gawn. I think NN gets managed within games a lot more which limits his...

    Round 11 Trades

    Here's my take on Stef. Bear in mind I've never been a fan of picking him in SC... he's more of an AF/DT scorer. I argued preseason that he couldn't score any better than he has, at best he could maintain his average but wasn't going to go any higher. Unfortunately for those that backed him...

    Round 11 Trades

    I've been holding off waiting for him to show his true colours, now might be the time. Fairly friendly fixture over the next month. Fairly friendly fixture for finals too. It's now or never with a BE of 7.... I'm seriously considering jumping on him this week. He does have a proven scoring...

    Round 10 Discussion

    Ended up scoring 2362 on the weekend with a not so perfect finish with Kerridge and Lonergan underperforming. Still ranked 465 for the week and inside the top 5 for the SCC group, so can't complain too much. The weekly winner topped 2500 and I don't think I was ever going to threaten that.

    Round 11 Trades

    I'm still very cautious on McVeigh. Junked up his score by playing on from kick outs and playing loose man a lot of the time which allowed him the freedom to kick 2 goals as well. Won't get to do that every week and with his 70 still in his cycle you'll get another week to look at him before...

    Round 10 Discussion

    Killing it this week with some unique picks: Titch 178 VC Goldy into C on Gawn Hoff 125 Shiel 118 Josh Kelly 132 Even got the bench spot-on. BenKen on the pine for the first time this year. Brown on the pine. Petracca on field but I only lost 6 points by choosing him over Hopper. Projected...
