It's not that TLR themselves is a POD. It's more that I expect it to be rare that anybody has been able to get in more than one of TLR/Watson/Chaplin (throw Gay into the mix since she's expected back this week). Goodwin should cross the $1M mark this week. If McLaughlin can get back to form and you can turn Koenen into one of the $1M players next week, I think your DEF as a whole will be a massive POD versus the rest of the comp.


True that. Navigating the mind of Lauren Arnell is an absolute nightmare. I'm fully expecting to have to dump Woodland next week (would have been this week but for Richards). I'm holding on the hope that Woodland doesn't get shunted off to the forward line to put up 30s again.

Window is a natural mid, though. If Arnell keeps putting her up forward, she's a crazy person (not ruling that out).
Do agree with the defence for sure most wont own all 5.

Window could by all means outscore Hodder for sure but ill just take the risk for the run, if it looks bad after 1-2 weeks ill switch early.

Unless Window goes absolutely berko, you should be able to get her in next week anyway if that's something you need to do. Hodder would be more difficult if she puts up a big score against GC. She's not very well owned and I doubt many are in a position to bring her in this week, so it will be huge for you if it works out.

NFI what to do here as per usual, but now only $18k in the bank and a host of NPP's haha!

But Woodland to Window looks to be the ticket to getting coin to use elsewhere. Just unsure how best to use the $169k it will give me to play with. Using it on Butler doesn't net me anyone decent as F5, even if I punted Torpey to a $300k ruck to give me an extra $74k (for a total of $690k as a replacement for Butler)

Or do I simply sideways a Barnett to a Molloy, and downgrade Butler to a cashcow like SS-P? (across any line)
Need to get Young off the field. Maybe try for Laura Stone? Bates is out for rest of year and Hipwell is also injured I think. CBAs are up for grabs.
 
Who is the biggest priority trade out this week, if you had to kill off one, Heath or Kearney?

All the movement seems to be on Heath, but Kearney is making games painful to watch.
based on the floor scores, I'd say Kearney. I wasn't really paying attention in the North game last week. I wonder if she was tagged or something? I'm sure she'll bounce back, but she also has the higher BE.

I'm looking at trading Heath in. Not a great score or BE, but still 65% CBAs.

Kearney is a worry, but not much I can do after she tanked that much cash. Not sure she's worth a trad unless you can get her to a proper top-5 DEF.
 
Barnett named at FF is worrying me abit lol, feel like shes been named ruck nearly everytime this year?
They've named Barnett at FF before and switched her into the ruck by the time the game starts. More of a worry this week when she actually seemed to have a role change last week.

I just don't know that Sabs is up to rucking FT at this point. Plus, Barnett is second in the league in intercept marks. Dropping her off the contest has been a big part of their defence this year.

I'll check 5pm teams tomorrow and see if it switches, just another decision to make lmao.

Sold.

Now I could get her to anyone, but it would break the budget that I want to keep if/when Blackburn blows up in my face. And Girvan is calling my name.

Rules wise, it doesn't really matter if it switches. As long as Barnett's named on the field, they can line her up anywhere.

They've also been changing it on final teams an hour before the game past weeks. I'd expect them to just drop three bench players at 5 tomorrow.

Paid up for TLR.
66 at 3qt is 22 a quarter.
Figured an 88 will be ok after most defenders bombed last week..
11 mins into last q, she's only on 67.

It's the very typical, bring someone in for their lowest score of the year play. (Holding out hope for a decent last 5 mins)
 
Good call - 73. If Woodland needs a trade next week, I'll probably go Woodland to Stone.
I should've gone Stone, but I was already bringing in TLR this week and didn't want to be locked out of 2 trades after Thursday. Will have to a look at her next week (and trade out Woodland or Window)

IMO Wilson. Not much downside, and scope to make 100k or so.
As silly as it sounds, I'd rather go one of the $300K options just to have the $6K available next week. Plus, Wilson has a 0 and a 17 in her cycle, so her BE is pretty high at the moment.

I've gone Fullarton at the moment, just hoping she spikes a score. If not, I wouldn't be surprised if I don't make any trades involving D6 for the rest of the year. The plan had been loophole donut if Reidy didn't get dropped.
 
After adjustments, TLR's score ended up above Chaplin's average and exactly the same as her median score. It's hardly a disaster.
Ooh yeh, an 80 looks elite back there. 82 even better. Just something about that extra 4 pts. (78-82)
TLR v Gold Coast next week, which is typically a slight points boost.

From here on, it's scraping the barrel for funds.
Lauren Young + Tarlinton hopefully cross $400k.
Then there's $83k combined in the other 3.

Any upgrades will be 2 rookies down, 1 premo sideways or slightly up for matchups/form.

Definitely. I've got Dunlop to cash in next week, but after that it's just Clarke and Young as players I think are capable of making much of anything. If Clarke puts up another score in the 20s, she'll have lost all the cash she made this year. Hopefully Young can find some form at home against the Dogs. She was pretty invisible last week.

On the upside, I'm finally rookie-free on the field, so it's really just about getting as many mid-pricers up to top-5 premos as possible.
