heck, Mumford and Coniglio out has royally screwed me over. I had carefully planned out my bye players weeks in advance and it's all in ruins.

Similar issue with Clark Amon Krak and Bennell last week and same again this week.

 

[Slipps]

Who would you recommend I aim to upgrade Kelly to in defence? Don't think I'll be able to get Hodge if I put an extra 50k into the ruck.

Boyd or picken i would think... I got boyd a few weeks before dpps besides the 2 games he missed hes been good. He will be my captain this week if vc lewis is no good

 

[LordHaart]

Gonna trade Grigg and Lever as both are out this week and next, and bring in two players who had the bye last week. Leaves me no real wiggle room in the rolling lockout outside of the captain loophole, but I'm only just fielding 18 anyway (and that's assuming Bontempelli plays).

 

[bluelad]

Can somebody please explain the captain loophole?

Put VC on a Hawks/Crows player.

If you like the score they get and want to use them as your captain, move the C to a non-playing player before full lockout.

Not sure how many times I've explained this

Thank you Scrotes

Alright so again not sure.

At the moment I am going for a bit of a high risk/high reward trade.

Kelly -> Colqhoun and Newton -> Steele.

I would really like to get Hodge but money does not permit.

However, what am I better off doing this week? Am I better off keeping with the same trades or look at other options?

Option A:
Same as above

Option B:
Kelly -> JKolo and Saad -> Cross

Option C
Kelly -> Colqhoun and Saad -> Brodie Smith

Option D
Saad -> J Kolo and Newton -> Sloane (Keep Jake Kelly one more week and let him leek more cash)

Anybody looking at Toumpas? BE of 2. Could be a good cow for a few weeks?

Scored 26 against Hawthorn (not sub). Maybe a bench player but not a good bye candidate IMO.

Up to four newbies this week: Caleb Marchbank, Jack Steele, Jake Kolodjashnij and Jarrad Jansen. Last two are on the extended bench and may not debut, but at least one of the first two will start in the 21 for GWS.

JKolo or Hamling is my question?!

Hamling. Had his bye and isn't on an extended bench.

 

[LordHaart]

Went Lever->Hamling and Grigg->Z. O'Brien in the end.

O'Brien had a tagging job before his bye. Bit like Wallis, still able to score well while doing it though.

 

[Fitzey]

Trade Kelly or not? Please help someone! Best scenario, what could he score tonight?

Hold if you don't have 18 playing. Get rid of other injured players such as Clark instead, or upgrade Saad.

Currently sitting with Jkolo. I will be fine throughout for the bye next week I will have 19 players playing even with Kolo not playing next week. I feel both players have the same job security and will score the same, Kolo is 40k cheaper so as long as he's named I'm going with JKolo i think.

Thanks, going Saad and Newton to Macrae and JKolo

No not at all, Krooze is a gun

Did you enjoy his 42 yesterday? Won't even make any money @250k lol

 

[FlowersByIrene]

He scored 72 the week before..

So selective with your call outs.

Must have hit a sore spot lol

Btw 72 is by no means a "gun" score either

I don't have him, but he is going to make money. He should get to at least 350k.....

If you didn't have much cash, not a bad downgrade from Belly to fix the rest of your team.
