Game Day 2026 Round 5 Discussion

[croweater 41]

I have not been able to nail my C or Vc at all this year bleeding points that way

 

[Wels Eicke]

I'm in a close match in my cash league, would really like to win. Have money which I was thinking to use next week to get Heeney in, but might use it this week.

The options are Whitfield/Ash/NWM. Whitfield for value, though could cop a tag (especially next week). Ash you would think tag free, highest price. NWM should probably wait to see his best form, but who knows.

Any thoughts? At this stage have gone Ash.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

What a horrible round.

Serong
Zorko
Houston
Bont C
Miller

Gonna struggle for 2000.

 

[iDon]

Will battle to get to 2000 and knew that this week, wasn't chasing trades like yester-year.

Holding Trac hopefully pays off and should be able to bring in Jackson pretty seemlessly, plenty of trades annd boosts remain (34/4).

 

[Jiska]

I get the feeling that the Parish owners will not be gloating next week when an angry Suns midfield destroy Essendon.

To be fair, it’s taken them five rounds to come out of the woodwork. Let them have their moment. I’d have loved Buda to have a 130+ spike game.

 

[Deliverance]

And this muppet gives out SC advice .
Numpty AF.

Who are Bigfooty posters?

 

[Jiska]

Missed the Rosas spike game. You beauty kyri. Was tempted to trade him during the week.

I wonder if there's anyone who's still got 35 + trades. Lots of carnage early.

I'm on 32 at the moment. I'd say that's close to average?

Most people I know are 30-31, and all sideways action.

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Noticed Jords coping heat, which is BS.

It's the same as kents sooking on here "cause everyone said to do xyz" when something goes wrong.

It's just small chol'd kenties throwing tantrums

Exactly. At the end of the day you can take advice but still own your decisions! It is a pet peeve of mine when people say “so and so said I should do this and now I’m sad/mad/whatever”

Own your shit. That way when it inevitably goes bad you get the great experience of hating yourself for a while. Then you get over it, dust yourself off and roughie that ****er back into your team!

 

[SloppyJoe]

Copping another beating this week, and not the good kind.

Zorko injured, Dawson a spud, Bont Capt Crud, Kerch left the ground at half time again, faded Farrow, the list goes on.

At least the Jackson trade in worked, and Sellwood's score was a bonus.

34 trades and 4 boosts left...hoping they let me come home with a wet sail but in alot of pain at the moment.

 

[CursingFijian]

Most people I know are 30-31, and all sideways action.

I’m on 31 and refused to boost yesterday to bring in a red dot and take Gawns VC.

Left the C on Bont.
Zorko. Windsor. Traded Parish out instead.

Really wanted POD Harvey Thomas, but can’t get to him due to underperforming forwards and no DPP flexibility.

Having an absolute mare this week.

Staring at the Last Man Standing guillotine and wondering why I didn’t learn all those lessons from yesteryears.

35 for me atm, managed to miss genuine carnage but have a few underpeforming players which might need a flick. don’t want to trade premos tho

 

[Sherman41]

Didn’t see the Roos Vs Lions Game.

Coleman scored at 5 points per touch again.
Just didn’t get enough of it. Thought with Zorko going down he may have found more ball. Role didn’t change?

 

[Veer Right]

Anyone care to rate Archie Roberts role for a second opinion?

I thought he was dropped Thursday night so ignore me.


Also just scrolled past this on Instagram. I can’t find anything from Richmond or AFL about it. Any Tigers fans care to shed light on the potential late out?

I have 32 trades left and 4 Boosts.

I'll get the boost I didn't use this round back. Only made the one trade and I'm glad I didn't trade to Steene. My reasoning is that the potential gains would be reduced if the out player was still rising. In the case of Steene it would have been pocket monen. The only exception was Watkins to Farrow and I clearly made the right call there.

Early I was willing to burn trades for injured players but it's now becoming more important to hold them because otherwise as I've discovered so far is that you end up in a vicious cycle of trading into new problems. In hindsight I could have justified keeping Petracca but obviously, Rozee and Gulden had to be moved on. I also think this is the point of no return where you have to keep what you've got. For those with Caleb Serong, don't be stupid and trade him.

If Richards ankle isn't broken then he stays.

Unfortunately there are a number of rookies who might only make 50-80k with no long term insurance and I'm risk averse to the point that I'd rather keep the trade and plateau a player before burning a trade for pocket money.

Robey probably won't be an option
Tsatas if he backs things up and Scott supports him
Perez is a sketchy option even if he plays a 3rd game

Lukosious is tempting but doesn't come without risks.

Apparently chance that Luko misses today..

Reminds me of the time I listened to the guys who said buy crypto it's going to the moon, don't miss out.

6 months later "Buy more, it can't go any lower it's at the bottom" (I Didn't listen this time)

Down more "This is an all time low, it's time to load up and DCA"

Still dropping.


Mind you, one of the guys has a 50K loan of which he has about 6K value while still paying interest.

 

[Biggie]

30 trades 3 boosts left

Not usual activity for me, but **** I am having fun

 

[JHF1870]

Most people I know are 30-31, and all sideways action.

I should have in hindsight kept Petracca.

Gulden and Rozee had to be moved on

I pissed off Xerri to Gawn and I'll be happy to burn that trade.

There really aren't a lot of solid options that most of us already have

 

[Caztheconquerer]

31 trades and 2 boosts left

 

[TheDoor]

33 trades, 4 boosts left. Have nearly all the mooing rookies bar Murdock. Pnly two non playing this week, and one is Jaques. Ranked in the top 2000, hoping most above have traded thier butts off chasing points, have dead rookies sitting on the bench and only got blamires and farrow scores because they lucked out as they had no other options.
Time will come when us trade hoarders will be rewarded by our patience.

 

[Fisheroo]

Apparently chance that Luko misses today..

Sure hope that doesn't send Marshall forward for a double whammy
