Blakiston is still a trade out before Jaques though yeh ?

 

[Penski]

I believe it's 59

 

[txbyhull]

Edwards is so in if he’s solo

Yeah I reckon. Most people aren't going to have a red dot in defense so Jaques has some value this week. Still making cash if he's back next week.

Yeh I have three red dots this week
1. Jaques (can use this to loop Farrow into Serong)
2. Dovaston (can use this to loop Cook into Robertson)
3. ZZ Top (will use as VC loop if needed)

 

[amazingjoshy]

I reckon Madden is a legitimate play for the big balled amongst us. Averages over 100 at VFL level, solo rucking and has looked pretty good in his 3 games at AFL level

Have had Gawn and Farrow all week and am unlikely to change, but Madden and Baz is really tempting me

 

[iza]

Farrow or Angus Anderson?

 

[stallon]

Jacques lets me loop Serong and Lindsay this week

Pretty convenient tbf, hope its just a 1 week rest, if it is then im kind of glad hes out

I'm similar but with Murdock in place of ZZ. I'm low key loving the Jaques rest.

Farrow

I would 100% do Madden if not for having Grundy, Xerri and Witts in the next 4 weeks

Theyre all more experienced big body crash and bash ruckmen who Madden wont have a natural advantage or point of difference against, with Madden also being a more lumbering ruckman.

 

[Exambolor]

Leaving my second trade open for now, If there's no further late out carnage with Richards, I might move Butters on for Finn anyway, will save the downgrades for next week.

True , great point

Good matchup this weekend though for a nice sugar hit first up

That good matchup is still a 208cm, 110kg 25 year old.

Should be good still but idk if its a sugar hit.
Hard to say with the young ruckmen.

Blakiston is still a trade out before Jaques though yeh ?

Not IMO. I already had Jacques out before the news.

He doesn’t have a hell of a lot of cash gen left whereas there’s no urgency to deal with Blakiston for me and he’ll probably have a stretch of 70s to go higher at some point.

An average of 82 with a BE of 6.....

 

[squashface]

Considering Serong…is he a tag risk this week from Perryman?

 

[Fat Nyfe]

A young defender, it won’t last. Clearly his spots not secure either and he has cash value right now, to me anyway

 

[Forward Press]

Ollie Hayes-Brown or Louis Emmett? Leaning towards the former purely because he's lower in price and may have higher job security but thoughts?

Edwards?

OHB is replacing Samson Ryan, so the job is his if he performs. Emmett is a placeholder. Edwards has played three of four games this season, has two green match ups in the next two weeks (courtesy of English being out), and is being thrown the keys.

Currently on this, leaves me wth 510k and holding Richards cause Bevo made some awkward comments -_-
With Richards on the bench ill be looping Blamires and Watkins at M8 which isnt a complete disaster, with Murdock back next week too.

Harley has 2 tags in the next 3 weeks from the looks of things unfortunately

I expect Gawn to get help or a rest at some point, also Blakiston killer of ruckmen this week
Grundy should be better than the 20-odd points priced at difference between he and Gawn.

Was set on Callaghan in this week but that was before English forced a trade, Bailey Smith should be better anyway.

Fingers crossed my 510k lets me do 1 down 1 up with rookies to get a real premo, Visentini at R3, Watkins, even Windsor on the table, plus any rookies that go poorly this week.

I am still not giving up hope that Dante Visentini my boy will be named to let me keep English, and get in Farrow to keep cash gen going

Assume you're still sticking with Ed Richards?

He’s being managed, he has a great role for fantasy.

I’m probably wrong, I don’t mind being in the minority though it’s helping me have my best fantasy year.

No reason to trade him now

Not sold on Edwards and I'll try something different. Points of difference all the way baby.
