Round 13 Discussion

[NinjaSwan]

Teams for Freo/Pies come out tonight.

Really hoping Dale and Hamling can keep their spots in the side this week.

 

[Werewolf]

Hamling should be safe for the time being. Our VFL watchers said Morris and Talia didn't have brilliant games. Dale is a big sub risk and could be dropped as Crameri will be available this week. Another Bulldog to watch is Toby McLean, who had a good game against the Lions and is on the bubble. Also Caleb Daniel (M/F) has been in good form for Footscray and may debut soon

 

[Krujan]

I can't decide whether to make 2 upgrade trades this week so I can field 18 and improve my ranking short term or horde the second trade and 140k and play 1 short. I've only been getting 40-50 from my 18th player even when I've had 20 & 19 starters the last 2 weeks, so maybe it would be wiser to look at the big picture?

What would your second trade be? If it would be an upgrade to a premo you might as well do it. If it's a downgrade to someone like McLean maybe give it a miss

McLean - the bubble boy!

Both upgrades M9 Lang > Mid or M/F Premo & Tarrant > Fwd Premo

1 upgrade trade would 'complete' my side for now as I'd like to use my left over 140k for Griff > GAJ in 2-3 weeks time. However, I could always sideways whichever other premo is underperforming in 2-3 weeks time for GAJ and upgrade Griff this week instead. It's just that here aren't any premo mids I really want to bring in for the rest of the year right now.

I'm 1/2 considering Griff > Tom Mitchell as my 2nd trade which would then leave Bont to become my M9/F7 swingman once I do bring GAJ in.

I like the Griff to Tom Mitchell idea actually. Mitchell may not score as well as a mid superpremo, but with trades getting low and injuries/players getting rested as the year goes on it will probably pay off long term

The mid premos suck this week with the bye. There aren't many at a real juicy price, unless you want to take a punt on Murphy or JPK. You've got Hanners and Parker in the mid to high 500k, but most teams already have a few Swans. I would have liked to have picked up Ward or Priddis this week if they were playing. They're both pretty much full priced, but I'd have been happy to spend a bit more to know that they'll pump out at least 110 pretty much every week and I won't have to worry about them again. Unfortunately the bye has wrecked that for me though

Thanks for the feedback Lums, appreciate it. I do like having lot's of DPP options, especially since I'm low on trades. Would really help me having 2-3 M/F DPP links in the midfield later in the season.

You think this is bad, wait till next week when we all have a week's exposed form to talk about

Gaz Watch part 2 - easy!

 

[pincrusher]

Rd 13 - 'Gaz Watch'
Rd 14 - 'Gaz Watch part 2: Should I or Shouldn't I'
Rd 15 - 'Gaz Watch part 3: I wish I could afford Gaz'
Rd 16 - 'Gaz Watch part 4: F@#% you all if you have Gaz'

Rd 17- "Gaz why did you have to pop your shoulder again? You could at least have done it before we all traded you in"

 

[stevebbb]

No!
We need Gaz to go poo
Get to 500k please

As tempting as this would be, the cheaper he gets more people will pick him up. I personally hopes he doesn't dip below 600 giving the people that can afford him a POD.

 

[Keg on legs]

So far in the bye weeks my ranking has gone:

8.8k - 8.5k back out to 8.8k

At least I know where I'll end up at the end of this round!

 

[Krujan]

No!

Nah, heck that then everyone would have him. I want him to do well enough in his first few weeks back so most can't afford to trade him in without burning 3 trades.

 

[stevebbb]

hope Lever plays, that is all.

 

[tommyv49]

hope Lever plays, that is all.

I also have this hope

mmm fair enough, good points!

I ve already wrecked Sloane, Birchall, Rocky and Mummys season; I see no reason why Ablett wont re-do his shoulder immediately after I trade him in.

Hope Lever doesnt play

that is all

 

[Werewolf]

I hope my team scores well for a change. Started strongly, then the wheels completely fell off and now ranked >37,000
