[Tippaz]

just Grlj -> Busslinger (oh well, why not ?)

i think Busslinger can be a cash grab who'll at least see me out until the byes

both Serongs need to lift !!

do you have Cummings already? im worried about missing out on him. dont want to jump on a week late like i stupidly did with farrow.

now or nothing kinda thing.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Bruh: argument for holding and riding it out a while?
Still getting enough possessions, untidy on the weekend.
DPP incoming (knock on wood)
Handy cash would be the counterpoint

He couldn't hit the side of a barn last weekend.

Pros n cons .

Hold get wookies of the ground.
Or trade to a big dog permo.

I think I'll hold for now.

Who you grabing this week scoops ?

 

[rocker_oz33]

I feel the upgrade is .

Farrow to Ash or Zorks .

Wouldn't mind another good wookie back .
Soon to upgrade Lindsay to a permo.

I feel the deferders this year are not killing it like years gone bye .

 

[Gresham2King]

Think I’m leaning towards this. Leaves me with 22 trades but reasonably happy. Limited rookies on the horizon so has to be a double downgrade (had like 2k left in the bank last week), but still want to keep upgrading. Have 2 boosts still also

Those are my exact trades this week too. Cant skip Kozzy any longer and with WCE up next. Only diff is I now only have 20 trades and 1 boost left!

 

[Chucks]

Whats the job security of Cummings and Burton? Would Burton have as much JS as Cummings seemingly may have moving forward?

 

[Chucks]

Also, is it correct that Ash may be set to spend more time in the midfield? Was weighing up bringing him in, but a change of role deters me a little

This has been discussed heaps in the previous pages. Cumming JS better. Burton JS shaky.

 

[jdwood]

cumming is a prize recruit for a rebuilding team with tons of injuries. He will play every week he is fit.

 

[SloppyJoe]

I was top 2k after rnd 3 but a mix of injuries, poor choices and trade conservation saw me plummet to 47k 3 weeks later. I've been building back up the last 2 weeks and am now ranked 20k.

I'm flush with trades (inc 4 boosts), a bit of cash, some decent rookies and hope to welcome Dawson back this week.

Ideally I'd do 2 down 1 up this week and and cull Grlj, Farrow and (somewhat reluctantly) Jagga. Cumming is a definite in but I may just end up going 1 up 1 down as I'm not sold on any of:

• Burton (low scoring, just about the worst JS in the team)
• Busslinger (expensive KPD and scoring has come from nowhere, I am Tsuspicious)
• Edwards (low scoring KPD, slooooow burn, JS a query?)

I know future rookie downgrade options aren't looking great. But a lot can change in a week.

As for the upgrade - I'm thinking either Kozzy or NAS. All things equal I'd take Kozzy as my fwds need work. But if I go NAS and only make 2 trades it allows me to keep Jagga who I reckon has another $50k in him.

Penny for your thoughts. Team as it finished round 8 is below.

 

[Chucks]

Thinking of bringing in Cumming and another rookie - I'm contemplating an upgrade on either Whitfield, Finn, or McCluggage.

Who would you choose if you could prioritise one? Taking into account form, role, etc

 

[rocker_oz33]

Holmes dpp in def soon (fingers crossed)

Yeah Homles been real good .

 

[Changa10]

Yeah Homles been real good .

Except the week I made him Captain and he shat out an 80...

 

[54Dogs]

How many mid only rooks are people running with atm?

Cumming, Retsch, Anderson, Tsatas, Jagga, Burton, Murdock, Duursma, Sharp etc

 

[ItsJustaGame]

thinking of doing Blamires/Grj/Farrow to Whitfield/Cumming and one of either Burton or Wedwards but both have problems.

Grabbing burton leaves me with only 1 DPP player in the midfield and makes it a struggle to cash out Lindsay and Marshall in coming weeks unless any good defensive rookies come up. Basically kills my flexibility all over the field. I'd rather have him that Wedwards but is it worth grabbing him and sacrificing a bit of structure

Other options could be to grab a different premo but Whitfield definitely seems my best bet this week and for the byes.
This also is my second last boost and I could also just double downgrade and bank cash but I don't like that idea

Team below

Farrow to henry via marshall back next week is a possible option if you dont like burton, edwards etc

Out of Those Kent Wookie's / after this weekend trades .

Might move murdock on next week.
Maybe depends

which would leave the first 3 on the pine .

That can happen .
MaX can spray them sometimes .
