Option 2 then upgrade Karnezis to someone else (like Riewoldt)

Riewoldt is a difficult choice right now if you didnt have him from the start. I'm a v happy owner and he's putting on yet another AA standard CHF clinic right now as a marking target kicking 3 goals a game. Also feels pretty comfy and easy seeing him in my fwds..looks like a blast from the past. Opposition not huge but he looks in good touch with his hands and is fit. Dont know if anyone saw it but he snaffled a bullet ground ball like he was Ablett late in the game on the weekend...he just looks in touch which is half the issue with picking KPP's. If u want a KPF personally i think Cloke is better value right now with pricing but i'm not going to have more than 2 KPF's in the fwds (plus maybe Cox left there for now). So i'll ride Franklin+Riewoldt right now but would look at Cloke seriously instead of Riewoldt. Anyone but Pavlich lol..geeezus he looks shithouse and underdone.

As a side note Port are only a loss away from one or two tweaks to their 22. You know its going to happen too coz they arnt THAT good. K Mitchell looks the goods and to me is a hold. He'll step right in i reckon and will scroe well from what i;ve seen. In Dt where its now a season long sprint rather than a marathon i;d be shipping him out for hutchins/mayes type but in SC i reckon hold the bloke. I only have him in DT with M Jones in my SC. KM is one score from not being able to get him back, and a good chance he'll play 10-15 games this yr, once a starter he'll hold onto it i reckon and has the body.

Pittard looks an absolute spud to me...slow but can kick which is how he held scores in rnds 1+2, and runs risk of being the kickout for another 6 weeks unless dropped sooner due to losses, which is likely. Will look to move him out first of the backs before Stevensen.

Continuing to cash up as the priority.

Originally I was going to do a straight swap in the forwards of Zorko to Dusty Martin.
However if i use Neade (DPP) i can trade Zorko to a mid.
Should I still go Martin or blow all my cash and get Pendelbury.

Thing is, Martin looked like a keeper last game, and if Richmond continue to do well then all their good players will lift even more.

You know Mitchell is a rookie now???

 

[Double the Fist]

You were told this might happen by Hinkley himself. With so many good rookies Mitchell was never worth the risk picking straight up!

Didn't get that message from anywhere. Must have missed it. Spewin'

I think you take the risk on Martin and keep the extra cash to upgrade elsewhere.

Marty looks the goods and with Cotchin on fire he will get the tag most weeks.

Martin is building fitness and will keep improving, capable of huge scores. Consistency seems to be slowly building.

"Last year the total value of the players at the start of the season was equal to the the total value of the players when the season finished.
It would seem to indicate that the magic number is decided week by week, and is calculated by the increase in the total of every players scoring average."

It does change from week to week. Overall there's a total amount of $$$ all players in SC are worth and as rookies go up, prices for others get squeezed. This results in the magic number increasing over the course of the year.

20/20 hindsight. He wasn't as solid an option as most were assuming, but he was definitely still worth including.

Bliclavs for Luey locked and loaded.

Zorko for Westhoff, Danger for Pendles, or just sit on it for another week??

I'm still not sold on Westhoff, when they verse some of the top teams will struggle IMO. Other options about?

Danger to Pendles is good or can look into someone cheaper like Fyfe for extra cash?

I wasn't sold on Westhoff until I watched his game on the weekend. Played against the team that finished 2nd last year.

Already got Fyfe. Was looking at Hodge, but seems silly to downgrade rather than upgrade. No cash in the bank if I opt for Pendles. Could always hold out and worry about Zorko/Danger next week. Really torn.

Thanks for that.

Your thinking is the same as mine but I had to ask as Martin was copping some flak earlier.

when did that happen ? he was looking good even as the sub.

Pavlich > Cox (with DPP in to ruck)
Pavlich > Bartel
Pavlich > Martin

What do you guys thinking??? I am wracking my brain!!!

Cox if you must, but I reckon hold Pav and address other areas first unless your team is near perfect.

Crouch + $60K or Dwyer is my dilemma.

Outside of pav my team is fantastic, projected 2500

Pav is the only blight so I have the luxury of buggering him off.

Cox. Easy.

Cox. Easy.

Sweet. That's what I had done anywho. Just wanted to get input. Cheers guys!

 

[BuddysBuddy23]

What to do with Zorko?

Trade to Westhoff (I know its risky but should be around the 550k mark after this weekend and if he starts to spud it up a straight swap to another premo will be on the cards. Will allow me to trade Cloke to Bartel in a couple weeks time?

Trade to Monfries who is 90k cheaper than the Hoff and use that coin to bring in Buddy for Cloke next week?

Trade to LeCras who is cheaper again, bring Buddy in for Cloke and keep the extra cash?

Really cannot decide which way to go, other options maybe?

cheers mate

cox / kennedy / rockcliff / franklin / neade / varcoe - dywer / macaffer

 

[BuddysBuddy23]

Trading Zorko to one of the following will leave me with the following cash to play with....

Westhoff-$69,600
Monfries-$159,100
Lecras-$200,600

FWDS are as follows: Cox, Rockliff, Zorko, Cloke, JJK, Dwyer, (Neade, Macaffer).

I want Buddy in pretty soon and the Monfries/Lecras trade allows this as of next week for Cloke(Although should hold off until after Hawks play Sydney). Bringing in Westhoff will mean Cloke becomes Bartel but not for a couple of weeks due to being around 10k short with expected price changes to occur, meaning Buddy will have to come in for JJK in a couple of weeks(Before the GWS,GC,Melb games) with a Dwyer/Neade trade to Lee/Mayes/Stringer etc?

Do i go Westhoff and just get Bartel for Cloke when salary allows, bringing Buddy in for JJK in a few more weeks? Or go a Monfries/Lecras trade now and get Buddy in just before his easier draw, bringing Bartel in for JJK or a rookie who has peaked whenever it suits?

How much coin do you have spare? Depending on your salary, Varcoe could be any of Lecras, Mayes, Stringer, Rowe etc.

35k

 

[BuddysBuddy23]

35k

Varcoe to Rowe? Will free up some cash and with kruze out he has better JS and will pump out scores between 60-90 for you?
