You beat me in one of the leagues. Bloody Whitfield

 

[Wels Eicke]

1874........and still not happy.

Brayshaw came through in the end, gonna be lots of ups and downs holding him though, usually from quarter to quarter.

Is Horne-Francis real, or just a one off today. Thinking of blowing my team up even further.
I have Gawn, Xerri & TDK. Depending on circumstances at selection, one of them out, along with Freijah & Garcia - Whitfield, JHF & that Dudley character from Freo in.

O'Driscoll/Lindsay being in or out will have a say in this too, need at least one to play.

 

[Tippaz]

rd4: 1841pts (top 15%)
overall: 331st (top 5%)... up 124 spots
trades: 34

Smith + JHF + Sheezel + Bice + Dunkley(c) + Dawson =
Holmes + Hall =

trading IN Bice was a masterstroke... he has worked himself into my starting lineup !!
need 1 of Tsatas/Lindsay to play (hopefully both) to cover for O'Driscoll should he miss
Allan -> Cleary is my backup option if i'm forced into trades
Whitfield must be stopped !!
Day needs to lift !!
TDK(c) / Dawson(vc) i reckon

 

[Bandicoot]

Brayshaw has proved time and again that he is not a buy in RDT. He is absolutely a useless plonker. Start weighing up who to trade him to.

Fair to say he came good. Coming up against Richmond next week, I'd expect him to go at least 130.

You obviously have some issues with O'Driscoll (4-6 weeks) and Day (2-3 months) now missing.

I'm seriously considering trading Xerri. Not something I'd usually do. But apart' from the low scores & hammie issue, having a ruck in flex is limiting my versatility to move players.

If I trade him to a midfield premium at a similar price, I can then move Bice to flex and play Reid down back. I expect that both Bice & Reid outscore my F5 & F6 (Garcia/Berry/Stone). I can also use a boost to improve my forward line (Maric/JHF) if I want.

Of course, I just know if I trade Xerri what will happen. So I still haven't made up mind.

I think your flex needs to be as flexible as possible, having a straight ruck with no dpp there is pointless, if he replaces an injured ruck on field then you’ve got a flex donut, you're just moving a donut

That's exactly what I'm thinking. I knew this pre season, but my thinking was stuck in 2024 with the rucks being the highest scoring position, hence starting with three. Clearly a mistake. Question is Xerri vs Gawn to go? I'm not confident I'm capable of making the correct call. Time will tell.

Could also go Freijah, O'Driscoll & Garcia to Serong, Maric & Dudley from Freo. Have no confidence in Dudley, and Serong I'm not sure, but that trade should be ok.

 

[Tippaz]

O'Driscoll -> Cleary,C (Hall -> mid)
Day -> Merrett

2 forced trades due to injuries
went straight to the top and paid the $$$ for Merrett... if you want the best, you've got to pay for the best
Lindsay IN is a bonus... Tsatas(EMG) is not helping... Leake on an extended bench would help...is Allan,B dead ??

 

[Andrewy]

Just sorting the team.

Out: Freijah, Day-Wicks, N O'D

In: Brock, McCluggage, Peatling.

 

[tigs2010]

Freijah > Bice
SDK > Wanganeen-Milera

VC Dawson, Rankine & Smith tonight.

 

[tigs2010]

At least I completely wasted the VC rather than half assing it with a 107 or something when you're not sure what to do lol

 

[Tso1967]

5/369

Dawson VC

 

[Bandicoot]

For someone who was very doubtful to play, 107 from Rankine was welcome. Co Warner might have scored half of that as his replacement.
On the downside 52 from Soligo was very disappointing.

 

[Bandicoot]

Congratulations Is she your first grand child?

She is. Photo is a little old as she's 18 months old now.

 

[Tso1967]

18(C)/1591 Sheezel

LOW Reid 34

 

[tigs2010]

Having a shocker.

TDK (C) stopped looking after that

 

[Tippaz]

rd5: 1999pts (top 37%)
overall: 609th (top 9%)... down 278 spots
trades: 32

Bice + Cleary + Merrett + Holmes + Ashcroft,L =
TDK(c) + Xerri + Macrae + SDK + Moraes + Reid,M + Lindsay =

should've made Merrett(c)
not owning Trainor/Reid,Z has been a major error
SDK returning to the backline will not help his stats... if he's not rucking, he must go !!
might make a play for El-Hawli
Tsatas, Allan, Hewett, Leake all need to start playing
Rozee & Whitfield must be stopped !!
Xerri needs to lift !!
Petracca & Warner are great future forwardline targets
