Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome to another edition of Breaking Even
Speaker 1: with Al Payton on your official Supercoach AFL podcast feed.
Speaker 1: I'm Al Payton, joined today for a huge episode heading
Speaker 1: into round four by Patch.
Speaker 2: Welcome again, Hello, well, delighted to be here. Thank you
Speaker 2: for having me on once again.
Speaker 1: And the DPP king himself. I'm sure that will come
Speaker 1: up plenty of times during the podcast, Tim Mitchell, great
Speaker 1: to have you on.
Speaker 3: Hey, Al, Yeah, it's all hotting up, isn't it? Only
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks away from those first DPP editions,
Speaker 3: so looking forward to getting stuck in. Who knows, maybe
Speaker 3: you'll week Christian petrarch I might get there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that has impacted some of my trade thoughts this week,
Speaker 1: but yes we'll get into all that stuff. A reminder
Speaker 1: of course, like subscribe on wherever you're listening or watching
Speaker 1: of course on Code Sports YouTube channel. And a reminder
Speaker 1: again that the Super Coach Plus free trial has expired.
Speaker 1: So yeah, rather than getting blocked by when you try
Speaker 1: and see all your break evens and all the stats
Speaker 1: that we love in Supercoach, thirty dollars roughly or just
Speaker 1: under that for twelve months subscription is definitely money well spent.
Speaker 1: That'll also covey when Super Coach BBL comes around later
Speaker 1: in the year because it last full twelve months. So
Speaker 1: get on to that. But we'll get into your questions
Speaker 1: very shortly. But first, of course, we have to do
Speaker 1: the HbF injury Report. Every super coach knows that managing
Speaker 1: injuries is a key to success. This is the injury Report,
Speaker 1: proudly brought to you by HbF, your Health Dream Team.
Speaker 1: Some very interesting names on the injury list this week.
Speaker 1: We'll start off with Xavier Lindsay, who as we speak
Speaker 1: is the most traded out player in Super Coach. Of course,
Speaker 1: I think about fifty thousand of us brought him in
Speaker 1: last week and he was on the bubble, look fantastic
Speaker 1: as a rookie and looked really good early in that game,
Speaker 1: I think gain two kicks in the first two minutes.
Speaker 1: Then went down with a knee injury, shocking news for
Speaker 1: first year player. We thought he might be gone for
Speaker 1: the year, but Melbourne now saying it's a one to
Speaker 1: two week injury, so we'll probably get into that what
Speaker 1: do we do with him? But yeah, certainly much more
Speaker 1: positive on the injury front there, and Melbourne probably will
Speaker 1: see some changes this week. Obviously Lindsay will be out,
Speaker 1: but because he Picket is available after serving his suspension,
Speaker 1: and there's a few other players who are down for
Speaker 1: fitness tests like a Kayla windsor Jake Lever, so yeah,
Speaker 1: we might see some changes at the D's this week.
Speaker 1: Another big injury do you Remembergovern We know can be
Speaker 1: injury prone and he's out for two to four weeks
Speaker 1: with an adductor injury, so that might be very interesting
Speaker 1: for another one of our top targets this week over
Speaker 1: the Eagles and at Brisbane. Kyle Lohman is out for
Speaker 1: another week, missing another week with his ankle, so that
Speaker 1: might help Olivoy Ashcroft potentially. And I did see on
Speaker 1: their injury list to the Kitty Coleman still down a
Speaker 1: four to six weeks away.
Speaker 2: That's very annoying for someone who didn't start because of
Speaker 2: the impeding return of Kitty Coleman.
Speaker 4: But anyway, who you go for us Patch.
Speaker 2: I have some very sad and devastating news out of Essendon,
Speaker 2: which thank you for giving me on the run sheet.
Speaker 2: Tom Edwards has done his ACL. I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's been confirmed yet, but it's all but confirmed from
Speaker 2: training and he will miss the rest of the season.
Speaker 2: Jack Caldwell has also done a hamstring which they haven't
Speaker 2: given a timeline at time of recording, but it's probably
Speaker 2: not good for him, maybe it's good for lacious artists.
Speaker 2: Who knows one to watch there. Tristan Cherry scared a
Speaker 2: lot of people with a hamstring issue in a week awareness. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not sure in the game, not entirely sure what
Speaker 2: it was, but yeah, Scanner is clear, so he's good
Speaker 2: to go. And Tom Stewart is a test to tell
Speaker 2: us who knows who knows? Well?
Speaker 3: The interesting one up in Sydney, Al's Calum Mills. Sounds
Speaker 3: like he's at least another month away from returning. I
Speaker 3: know a lot of super coaches had him in their plans.
Speaker 3: Obviously heavily discounted defensive option for us this year, but
Speaker 3: sounds like he's still, yeah, potentially three four, if not
Speaker 3: longer away, So we're going to have to sort of
Speaker 3: put those plans on the back burner and potentially look
Speaker 3: at some other options to well. Thankfully, the defensive rookies
Speaker 3: are cooking now, so might be able to just hold
Speaker 3: onto them a bit longer and wait for Calum meals,
Speaker 3: but yeah, we've got to put him. Unfortunately we won't
Speaker 3: have him for another month or so. The other big
Speaker 3: injury news to come out of the last few days
Speaker 3: is that Zach Butters's test probably since at the time
Speaker 3: of recording, more likely than unlikely that he's going to play.
Speaker 3: So whether that has any impact on Christian Maris, who's
Speaker 3: a really popular rookie who I'm sure we're going to
Speaker 3: talk about today, Jason Francis and yeah, and Jason or
Speaker 3: Francis as well. God he's gone well, isn't he? And
Speaker 3: if we head over to the west, Sean Darcy and
Speaker 3: Hayden Young both due to play Waffle this week too,
Speaker 3: so as good as Luke Darcy was for Dos Luke
Speaker 3: Luke Jackson, Sorry it was on Sean Darcy. Is his
Speaker 3: pending return sure to have some impact there?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely. That's a wrap on this week's injury report.
Speaker 1: Thanks to aage BF make the Smart move join HbF
Speaker 1: your health Dream Team. So a couple quick segments before
Speaker 1: we get into the questions. One is full and Primo Watch.
Speaker 1: Have just put a couple of guys on here that
Speaker 1: we can be keeping an eye on their price coming down.
Speaker 1: Kieren Briggs is an interesting one, obviously coming back from
Speaker 1: that really horrible concussion we're around.
Speaker 4: He scored I think five points.
Speaker 1: He's already lost a bunch of money and he's got
Speaker 1: a break even of two hundred and two this week,
Speaker 1: so projected to lose another fifty k. So if you
Speaker 1: need a cheap ruckman, and I know there's some Matt
Speaker 1: Flynn owner's still out there, perhaps the wires move there
Speaker 1: is to hold off a week and you can maybe
Speaker 1: get Briggsy next week at a discant of price. And
Speaker 1: he scored okay, so hopefully he'll least get you through
Speaker 1: to maybe the mid year buys and then you can
Speaker 1: figure out what you.
Speaker 4: Do with your rucks.
Speaker 1: Then Elder Yu's had a really underwhelming start to the year.
Speaker 1: Luke Davis Uniac, he's got a break even of one
Speaker 1: fifty four. He already lost forty k, and he's going
Speaker 1: to lose some more money, so he's down to five
Speaker 1: forty eight and probably might be able to get him
Speaker 1: around the five hundred K mark, and then I think
Speaker 1: would be very interested. I got him mid year last
Speaker 1: year to Discando was about five to seventy. I think
Speaker 1: at that stage and he was fantastic and the run home,
Speaker 1: so we know we can do but yeah, he hasn't
Speaker 1: done it yet, but that could be good for us
Speaker 1: in terms of looking for a cheap primo. What's where
Speaker 1: do we stand on Nickday because he didn't play last
Speaker 1: week obviously, so he's still got that. As we noted
Speaker 1: last week on one hundred and fifteen break even, it
Speaker 1: says it, but one hundred and fifteen, so probably not
Speaker 1: going to get much cheaper than his current six oh
Speaker 1: two k.
Speaker 3: Not the way players it gets. Thursday night could be
Speaker 3: an ugly watch if you don't have Nick Daekos in
Speaker 3: your team. So I've got this hope as a Blues
Speaker 3: fan that Carlton's going to find some way to tag him,
Speaker 3: send George Hewett to him or something and try and
Speaker 3: limited his influence. But yeah, there's a fair chance Nick
Speaker 3: Dacos gets out this week. I don't see him getting
Speaker 3: a lot cheaper. I've got Kieran Briggs on the radar though,
Speaker 3: because and speaking of Carlton, like Mark Pittnay is only
Speaker 3: a week away, and I think that there's going to
Speaker 3: have to be some possibility that as good as Tom
Speaker 3: the Conning's been for us. We might need to be
Speaker 3: looking for an exit plan in the next couple of weeks,
Speaker 3: and I think Kieran Briggs for one hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: k prop it might be a pretty good option when
Speaker 3: he bottoms out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the other one, I know, you were just
Speaker 1: keeping a sneaky oen with Sid Draper. Obviously rookie priced
Speaker 1: high rookie price to start the year, and he actually
Speaker 1: started losing a bit of money because he kept being
Speaker 1: the sub. But you know, there was a he sort
Speaker 1: of thought, well, maybe in a few weeks we could
Speaker 1: get him for you know, one hundred and forty K
Speaker 1: or something, But that looks like it probably won't happen now.
Speaker 3: He just got on too early on the weekend. I
Speaker 3: think he was on in the first quarter or played
Speaker 3: about three quarters anyway, so that many actually scored. Okay,
Speaker 3: so his break evens thirty nine, But you wouldn't imagine
Speaker 3: he's going to lose a lot for sort one hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty two K, which he is now having lost
Speaker 3: about eight or nine K on the weekend. So still
Speaker 3: like him, though, I think when he gets into that
Speaker 3: Adelaide midfield, he's going to be a really good scorer
Speaker 3: for us, and one that we might want to consider
Speaker 3: it that elevated rookie price, especially if he gets DPP
Speaker 3: in a few weeks, which is looking like a real possibility.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the other one we didn't mention on the injury
Speaker 1: report was josh uh S Shelley out for four to
Speaker 1: six weeks, so that's what allowed him to get on
Speaker 1: obviously last week when he was subbed off. So maybe
Speaker 1: he comes into the two.
Speaker 3: Ranking forward yeah, maybe please know, please no? I also
Speaker 3: hope not, but yeah, that's got to be a possibility,
Speaker 3: doesn't it. Ranking forward Drake a bit more midfield time, and.
Speaker 1: We'll have a quick round of rookie rule level, which,
Speaker 1: as we saw last week, can really catch you out
Speaker 1: even or maybe especially in a best eighteen round. So
Speaker 1: say with you, Patch, would you field Zach Reed or
Speaker 1: Luke trainer this week?
Speaker 2: Well, Zachari's on the bar this weellab Probably not Zach Reed.
Speaker 4: Good call, good call, Thank you. Patch helped me out there.
Speaker 1: Try another one, Levoy Ashcroft, tim or Mitch Nevitt Well, so.
Speaker 3: Much depends on whether Nevert's sub Again. I haven't had
Speaker 3: a close look at the fixtures, just yet there's to
Speaker 3: see how whether that pans out. Levio as Cross was
Speaker 3: pretty underwhelming against the Cats, but I think with difficult
Speaker 3: opposition plus those really tough conditions that we saw up
Speaker 3: in queens Lean, and I think we can forgive him
Speaker 3: for that one. So probably go lee by just and
Speaker 3: then he does play the Tigers this week. Might be
Speaker 3: score against the Tigers.
Speaker 1: And I never Yeah, the Cats play Friday night, so
Speaker 1: we should know at least early in the remurning. Now
Speaker 1: I'll try another one, Pertsch, if you had to choose
Speaker 1: between Riley Bys or conno O'Sullivan in your defense, we
Speaker 1: like him, Christian Marius, We've got to leave airscroft twice.
Speaker 4: We'll ignore that one.
Speaker 1: This segment's going really well. We'll try to just gip
Speaker 1: straight to the last one. And this especially for our
Speaker 1: friend Dossie. Would you feel Sam Davidson or Elijah shuittid
Speaker 1: you a forward?
Speaker 4: Ron Tip?
Speaker 3: Is that really question? Well, Davidson, he's not.
Speaker 4: Everyone got it right. Last week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we picked Jason horn Francis as F one and
Speaker 3: we picked Sam Davidson as F six, F seven, and
Speaker 3: one is outscoring the other for about four hundred k less,
Speaker 3: so definitely Davidson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think you'll be leaving it Fields anytime soon. Right,
Speaker 1: we'll get into the guts of the show, which is,
Speaker 1: of course your questions. Keep an eye for that tweet
Speaker 1: every week on the Tuesday Wednesday morning and we'll get
Speaker 1: to as many questions as we can. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I've just found this week there's four or five
Speaker 1: players I really want to trade in. Obviously we only
Speaker 1: have a maximum of three trades. Probably ideally wouldn't use
Speaker 1: a boost I but I didn't have to. But I'm
Speaker 1: probably going to be hard to avoid. But we'll see
Speaker 1: what people want to know. So Humphrey's or Merrick is, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think a few people really the big one, yeah,
Speaker 1: because they're both what sort of two sixty two seventy
Speaker 1: k I only got five k difference.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And Ryan Marritch at the Eagles has been fantastic,
Speaker 2: well fantastic on the weekend. He scored seventy one in
Speaker 2: round two after being the sub round one one twenty
Speaker 2: three on the weekend after taking kickouts and being the
Speaker 2: distributor off half back and Bally Humphrey has been playing
Speaker 2: as the third or fourth midfielder at the Suns and
Speaker 2: just looks like dare I say, shades of Dustin Martin.
Speaker 2: So both are pretty much the exact same price both.
Speaker 2: You know, Humphrey will get mid status. He's just a
Speaker 2: thought at the moment. Marriage is mid forward. There's not
Speaker 2: a lot splitting them, and so many questions this week
Speaker 2: we're all about yeah.
Speaker 4: Because I think this, you know, which I'm sure we'll
Speaker 4: touch on.
Speaker 1: There's two or three really good rookies as well, so
Speaker 1: by the time you get one or two of those,
Speaker 1: probably can only get one of these guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so putting you on the spot, who do you like?
Speaker 2: I still don't know. I was hoping i'd have an
Speaker 2: answer by this stage of the week. At the moment,
Speaker 2: I'm leaning towards marriage. That early DPP is a bit
Speaker 2: friendlier for my team, and I just feel like I'd
Speaker 2: rather someone playing off half back than someone playing kind
Speaker 2: of a mid forward role. And Humphreys has scored two tons,
Speaker 2: looked really good past the eye test, but he has
Speaker 2: played Essendon and Melbourne who are not good this year,
Speaker 2: and I don't doubt he'll continue.
Speaker 4: To have the role.
Speaker 2: And well they didn't deserve it. Yeah, there's no doubt
Speaker 2: that Humphrey has past the eye test, but I'm just
Speaker 2: not convinced he'll stay at a hunt. He might drop
Speaker 2: to eighty five or ninety still good, still valid to
Speaker 2: trade into. Marriage, might only average the same. I don't
Speaker 2: think there's a wrong answer at the stage. Humphrey feels
Speaker 2: like the higher risk, higher reward guy, where he could
Speaker 2: be your F six. There's a chance that is r
Speaker 2: F six if he keeps the role and keeps scoring
Speaker 2: and keeps playing really well and developing. Marriage probably less so,
Speaker 2: but I feel like I'm more confident in marriage over
Speaker 2: the next four weeks making cash than the smallest sample
Speaker 2: size I've.
Speaker 1: Seen it from, I mean from humph Most likely both
Speaker 1: of these guys are probably a four to six week
Speaker 1: kind of player. Yeah, make a bunch of cash and
Speaker 1: then you trade them in, you know, when an upgrade
Speaker 1: season comes around round eight and nine, that kind of time.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's a possibility one or both could hang
Speaker 1: on at least you through to the mid season boys,
Speaker 1: And for me, I think marriage is probably a little
Speaker 1: bit safer. But yeah, very hard to pick. What do
Speaker 1: you think, Tim? You mentioned the Gold Coast straw, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't get hard for a.
Speaker 3: While, does that well, They got Adelaide this week, which
Speaker 3: I think is going to be a pretty good litmus
Speaker 3: test of Bailey Humphrey and his development into this this
Speaker 3: midfield role. Like he's coming up against one of the
Speaker 3: sort of better perform midfields in the first few rounds
Speaker 3: of the season in Adelaide. So I don't know, Like
Speaker 3: I'm in this tricky position where I didn't start Bailey
Speaker 3: Smith because I'm an idiot, So I've got to try
Speaker 3: and fit Bailey Smith in this week into my trades,
Speaker 3: which makes it even more difficult. But I think people
Speaker 3: who have grabbed one of Riley Bis and Christian Marias already,
Speaker 3: who are the two popular rookies this week, are in
Speaker 3: a really good spot now because like, presumably you've only
Speaker 3: used one, maybe two boosts, but this looks like a
Speaker 3: perfect week for me to use a boost. And if
Speaker 3: you've already got one of those rookies, you can then
Speaker 3: get on both Humphrey and Marriage and you can enjoy
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty K cash generation and an average
Speaker 3: of probably around ninety from both of them for the
Speaker 3: next four or five weeks. We go into Best twenty
Speaker 3: two as well next week, which I think you'd be
Speaker 3: more comfortable fielding those guys over some of the other rookies,
Speaker 3: especially in midfield, which is probably what Nudge's marriage ahead.
Speaker 3: Like Bailey Humphrey might get mid status, he's sort of
Speaker 3: around the threshold for the amount of time that he's
Speaker 3: spent in midfield so far. But Aerck is already a
Speaker 3: forward mid so you can get one of those rookie
Speaker 3: midfield as off potentially like Avan. So the other thing
Speaker 3: to consider too, West Coast has conceded ninety one scoring
Speaker 3: shots in three rounds and I think forty two behind
Speaker 3: in that time, so he's going to get an absolute
Speaker 3: glight nair of kickouts and that's probably going to give
Speaker 3: him a you'd think a floor of eighty minimum even
Speaker 3: if he doesn't get that much.
Speaker 4: Bullet or McGovern as well.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: The concern people have that is that mcgovin goes out
Speaker 3: so he has to be a little bit more accountable.
Speaker 3: But Ryan Marrick is Ryan Marrick isn't playing in defense
Speaker 3: to be accountable. He's there for his foot skills and
Speaker 3: he's there to get the ball going for the Eagles,
Speaker 3: So I think he's going to be a really good
Speaker 3: pick for a few weeks, and if you had to
Speaker 3: pick one and hold off on the other, I'd probably
Speaker 3: take another look at Humphrey against Adelaide and see how
Speaker 3: he goes against a proper midfield as opposed to the
Speaker 3: two teams that they face so far. Gold Coast.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think I agree with all that.
Speaker 1: I suppose one thing that I've heard people flowed the
Speaker 1: idea of is because I think it's probably easy to
Speaker 1: get marriage into my midfield rather than find a spot in.
Speaker 4: The forward line.
Speaker 1: But you could move a you know, a Bailey Smith
Speaker 1: or a Caleb Daniel into the mids for a few weeks,
Speaker 1: create opium, do it that way and then just sort
Speaker 1: of you know, shuffling deck chairs a bit and make
Speaker 1: sure that you know, in a few weeks time, you
Speaker 1: get everyone back where you want them.
Speaker 4: But there is a way you could potentially do it.
Speaker 2: Humphrey, do you how do you get them in? And
Speaker 2: that's the next question from Luffy wish is it worth
Speaker 2: trading Jason horn Francis if it means you can get
Speaker 2: both of them or one of them, Even some people
Speaker 2: might not have the one hundred and twenty k required
Speaker 2: to get from a rook up or even from a
Speaker 2: late zabuer lindsay up, that's eighty K. That's still a
Speaker 2: decent jump, ol. Could we trade Jason horn Francis out?
Speaker 1: I sort of think these are separate questions in a way.
Speaker 1: I think the answer to the first one is yes. Obviously,
Speaker 1: it's been a bit of an ongoing saga that I
Speaker 1: didn't have horn Francis in my team, but most of
Speaker 1: the preseason caved.
Speaker 2: Did you get when I asked you that question?
Speaker 1: And now yeah, obviously wish I'd stack to my guns
Speaker 1: because he's been very averaged to start the season so far.
Speaker 1: I think I put in the trade this week someone
Speaker 1: like Seth Campbell or Ben Long or Keminidia scoring better
Speaker 1: than him so far to start the season. I'm sure
Speaker 1: he will come good. He's not going to be like
Speaker 1: this all year, but I don't think he's going to
Speaker 1: all of a sudden average one hundred and twenty like
Speaker 1: someone like a Bayley Smith. I can understand why you
Speaker 1: just think I just have to get this guy, because
Speaker 1: if I don't have him, he could just absolutely kill me.
Speaker 1: But I don't think harn Francis is going to do that.
Speaker 1: If you look at his scoring for all of last year,
Speaker 1: he averaged basically one hundred and most of his scores
Speaker 1: were eighties and nineties, and he had half a dozen
Speaker 1: like one forties, and that's what sort of pushed his
Speaker 1: average up. So, yeah, one of those might come this week,
Speaker 1: and you know that'll hurt if you trade him out.
Speaker 1: But I think if you think overall you're going to
Speaker 1: improve your team and maybe you know, get all this
Speaker 1: cash coming in, I think there's a.
Speaker 4: Path that ma actually makes sense.
Speaker 1: Would I go all the way down to a marriage
Speaker 1: or a Humphrey though that's that's a big drop.
Speaker 3: There's a world where you do that trade like you
Speaker 3: do horn Francis to Marrick this week, and then in four, five,
Speaker 3: six weeks time you revert back. Yeah, and yes you're
Speaker 3: burning two trades, but you've made two hundred k. You've
Speaker 3: improved team this week, and really the only costure is
Speaker 3: going to be that extra trade to then get Jason
Speaker 3: horn Francis back. But there's a chance that yeah, in
Speaker 3: five or six weeks time, their price is actually meet
Speaker 3: and you can do that trade as a straight swap,
Speaker 3: which I think is worth entertaining if you haven't burned
Speaker 3: a bunch of trades on doing silly things like me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think if you've got someone like
Speaker 1: Sam da Coning, who yeah, he thinks it has to go,
Speaker 1: if you can do some DVP and swap him to
Speaker 1: a marriage or something, I'd rather do it that way,
Speaker 1: or obviously if you can get up from a rookie.
Speaker 3: But yeah, see, this is this is my issue, sorry, Patch.
Speaker 3: Like I've got Sam to Conning, who I think is
Speaker 3: expendable and I'm willing to write off as a flop.
Speaker 3: I traded him in, I didn't start him, and unfortunately
Speaker 3: it just hasn't worked out. I've still got Jaden Short
Speaker 3: sitting there in my defense as well, who I'd like
Speaker 3: to trade out. But the only DPP I've got to
Speaker 3: swing back to my defense is your brother Ben Patton.
Speaker 3: So I can trade one of them and swing Paton back,
Speaker 3: but I then have to trade in a defender if
Speaker 3: I want to trade a second one, which means I
Speaker 3: can't get at one of Marrek, Maria's and Humphrey this week.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna have to sacrifice and get a defender.
Speaker 3: So I hope people aren't in that same situation. As
Speaker 3: me where Yeah, your two most expendable players are both
Speaker 3: deaf only because yeah, I'm a bit snooker this week
Speaker 3: as to which way I'm going to go to try
Speaker 3: and make it all happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, question here from Belinda is it time to trade SDK?
Speaker 1: I mean perhaps we just universally saying.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I think were Stanley will play this week. They've got
Speaker 3: gone ree Stanley kicked a couple of goals and was
Speaker 3: apparently very good in the VFL, So I think we're
Speaker 3: about to see the end of that SDK rock experiment
Speaker 3: for now, and he'll probably play on Jacob van Roy
Speaker 3: and maybe this week.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that wouldn't be great.
Speaker 1: And he's I think he's broke even skinning up to
Speaker 1: a round one hundred, so he could actually lose money.
Speaker 3: It's he'll probably lose ten k at least this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for a mid process, it's not exactly what they're
Speaker 1: supposed to be doing, you know. Question from Scout is
Speaker 1: there a world which you could justify fading Bailey Smith?
Speaker 1: So this is kind of getting to what you're saying
Speaker 1: that you've kind of committed to having one trade used
Speaker 1: on him means you can't get Marriage and Humphrey or
Speaker 1: potentially you know, either of them. In this case, would
Speaker 1: you potentially leave Bailey Smith and grab the two one
Speaker 1: or two of those.
Speaker 2: I think Bailey Smith is the higher priority because he
Speaker 2: all signs at this stage appointed him being a top
Speaker 2: eight forward. I'm in the same boat as to him.
Speaker 2: I don't have him. I'm bringing him in this week.
Speaker 2: That might cost me the chance to bring in Marriage
Speaker 2: or Humphrey. But I think at this stage the priority
Speaker 2: is cash flow and it is to you know, make
Speaker 2: sure you're not missing the guys that are going like
Speaker 2: a Bailey Smith, I think is the one guy in
Speaker 2: this category that looks like he's going to be in
Speaker 2: the very top part of his position and he's super
Speaker 2: cheap and you need to jump on. And That's where
Speaker 2: I'm landing at the moment, And maybe in twenty four
Speaker 2: hours I've changed my mind, but that I think at
Speaker 2: this stage you need you know, marriage and Humfrey should
Speaker 2: be a lower priority than these rookies. And you know
Speaker 2: the Bailey Smith, I mean, you.
Speaker 1: Know, the way we play the game. We want to
Speaker 1: make cash so we can trade up to get keepers.
Speaker 1: And if you can just get Smith now, who is
Speaker 1: a keeper.
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he still can't kick, but he was still scoring
Speaker 3: a hell of a lot of points. Like if it
Speaker 3: hadn't been for I think too late free kicks against
Speaker 3: and a drop mark in the center when that game
Speaker 3: was really close against Brisbane which cost him about ten
Speaker 3: or fifteen points, he probably would have tonned again on
Speaker 3: the weekend, which I think he went about ten percent
Speaker 3: by foot, Yeah, which that game probably suited him in
Speaker 3: a way because unless you were Dane's orco just about
Speaker 3: everyone went at about ten percent by foot, which meant
Speaker 3: that he's scoring maybe leveled out, but yeah, it just
Speaker 3: looks like I must have and he's been a really
Speaker 3: painful watch the first couple of weeks not having him,
Speaker 3: especially after I took him out about twenty minutes before.
Speaker 3: He's one forty eight and round one, So definitely got
Speaker 3: a remedy that this week.
Speaker 1: Question you touched on this team, and its certainly something
Speaker 1: I'm weighing up this week too. This is from Jimmy
Speaker 1: wondering if Marius is a consistent, viable option trying to
Speaker 1: get another mid rookie locks and my trades aren't all
Speaker 1: spelt spent on rookie. So you know, I'm sort of
Speaker 1: tossing up if I want marriage, I want Humphrey. Potentially,
Speaker 1: what am I doing with Jay's on Francis? If I
Speaker 1: had to pick, probably need to get both of Marius
Speaker 1: and Bis or could you get.
Speaker 4: One and let the other one go?
Speaker 3: No, you need both. I think I think you need
Speaker 3: both unless Mares drops back to the sub which I
Speaker 3: don't see happening. He was so good against he.
Speaker 2: Was about their only good player. I was sitting and going,
Speaker 2: who is who is that? I don't recognize who that is? Oh,
Speaker 2: it's a second game. But that's cutting us up. That
Speaker 2: checks out. I mean, he won't play us and Don
Speaker 2: every week. Part of me is trying to justify that
Speaker 2: he can pass him because that makes me feel better
Speaker 2: about my trade plans. But I think he's going to
Speaker 2: be one of the better rookies we get at that
Speaker 2: bargain base of prices. To him, said you kind of
Speaker 2: I have to have him. You have to have bias.
Speaker 1: Is there a world you could not get bias if
Speaker 1: you've got Look, I've only got three rookies in defense anyway,
Speaker 1: And now suddenly trainer and rider primos I did that.
Speaker 2: And then remember that the flex exists, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: I kind of I can sit one of them, there can't.
Speaker 4: I damn, Yep, you're right, Sorry l sorry al.
Speaker 3: If I was only getting one, i'd get buis of
Speaker 3: the two, I'd be more prepared to fade Maraus.
Speaker 1: I mean, Swan's have a few players coming back, but
Speaker 1: we did not early that Mills was now a fair
Speaker 1: way off. So yeah, and I mean yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: he was a sub only two weeks ago, so you think,
Speaker 1: is he guaranteed best twenty two But he's been pretty
Speaker 1: good in his way.
Speaker 3: Well I think what he had one point three points
Speaker 3: per minute as sub and then he won them the
Speaker 3: game against Fremantle, so I'd say his job security is
Speaker 3: reasonably safe. Yeah. You go through the port team though,
Speaker 3: like I don't. I don't think it'll be Maraas this week,
Speaker 3: but in a couple of weeks time he could easily
Speaker 3: be sub again too. But it is going to come
Speaker 3: back in so someone's got to drop out. Maybe it's
Speaker 3: Berry that goes to sub this week, in Coppran drops
Speaker 3: out of the team, but yeah, there's definitely going to
Speaker 3: be a possibility in a few weeks time. If Maraas
Speaker 3: has one quiet game, but he goes back to Subbury,
Speaker 3: he goes back to the sandful hopefully he's made a
Speaker 3: bit of cash by then.
Speaker 2: Though, Yeah, I do agree with that, and I think
Speaker 2: if you if you have to pass on what it
Speaker 2: is like, Rice is the one you need and Marius
Speaker 2: is the one he would pass on.
Speaker 3: Because the game for playing behind the ball now and
Speaker 3: that's where By splays.
Speaker 4: So mature Asia footy factory.
Speaker 3: I should say Maray is though, Like, I don't buy
Speaker 3: into the talk that him and Butters like or Butters
Speaker 3: is going to eat into his scoring too much. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Butters is going to score well, but Maris didn't have
Speaker 3: a center bounce against Essendon, so he's not going to
Speaker 3: get His role is not going to change significantly because
Speaker 3: Zach Butter's his back. So if you're worried, if you're
Speaker 3: trying to use Butters as your justification for not picking him,
Speaker 3: I don't think that's the right reason to leave him out.
Speaker 1: I think they played Maray's wing and pushed Jase berg
Speaker 1: On into which.
Speaker 4: Was yeah great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, jays Bergen's DPP went up by about fifty percent.
Speaker 3: Yeah for death because he played yes, solely as a
Speaker 3: defender against they played very well.
Speaker 1: All right, We've been getting to some other questions mix
Speaker 1: asking about Humphrey as well. He's asking his horn France,
Speaker 1: his top six forward. Yeah, I know it's borderline. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's around the mark.
Speaker 3: Other day, but there's a few other forwards that we
Speaker 3: think you're pretty good. So well, this leads into the
Speaker 3: DPP discussion. So Christian Petrarca is sitting at about thirty
Speaker 3: six point five percent at the moment. So if Christian
Speaker 3: Patrakal was to get forward status becomes a must have instantly,
Speaker 3: Sydney had to buy on the weekend. So Chad Warner
Speaker 3: is still above thirty five percent as well. We'll watch
Speaker 3: with interest where he plays against North Melbourne this week.
Speaker 3: But if those two become forwards and then yeah, we're
Speaker 3: thinking Bailey Smith's going to be around that mark, and
Speaker 3: then a couple of Nick Martin's potentially in that mix too.
Speaker 3: Although we had to check because I've never seen this before,
Speaker 3: but he's a defender that's played more than thirty five
Speaker 3: percent in the forward line and the midfield so far
Speaker 3: this year. So TPP, he could be a unicorn. He
Speaker 3: could be he could be our first triple position player,
Speaker 3: but that's not going to happen. You can only have
Speaker 3: two positions, so I think he gets whichever one is
Speaker 3: higher of the two out of ford and midfield. If
Speaker 3: that still ends up being the case, but it's gonna
Speaker 3: be some really good players to the full line. Like
Speaker 3: I've gone from thinking Horn France is a lock to
Speaker 3: be top three to maybe top eight, top ten.
Speaker 4: Were thinking, you think lock bet away going to go away.
Speaker 1: The gay in McCrae one hundred averaging hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: gave Daniel just you know, we're sort of not really
Speaker 1: paying much attention to him because everyone's got him, but
Speaker 1: he just rolls out every week in scores one hundred
Speaker 1: and ten.
Speaker 4: So there's three spots taken.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they said that. I was watching that North Melbourne
Speaker 3: game on the weekend against Saturday and on Sunday, and
Speaker 3: I think the Fox commentator said no, sorry, I was
Speaker 3: listening on radio and the radio commentator said Caleb Daniels
Speaker 3: had the worst kicking Dave's life. And then I checked
Speaker 3: and then I checked the scores and he was on
Speaker 3: about one hundred and tenths, so like he's just a
Speaker 3: walk up triple figure just about most weeks, isn't he.
Speaker 3: So it's going to be really competitive, And yeah, Horn
Speaker 3: Francis has gone from like I said, top two, top
Speaker 3: three guarantee to question mark if he's in sort of
Speaker 3: the top eight after the first few weeks. Yeah, he's
Speaker 3: going to bounce back. It's just a matter of win and.
Speaker 4: Then hopefully by that time he's averaging.
Speaker 1: You know, he's like forty fifth or something now, so
Speaker 1: we have to get past a lot of guys. So
Speaker 1: I think there's a difference between him and someone like
Speaker 1: Harry Sheezel, who we're just I think we're confident that
Speaker 1: he will end up in that top six. Maybe you're
Speaker 1: not a clear number one like we thought at the
Speaker 1: stage of a year, But yeah, would be very reluctant
Speaker 1: to trade him, whereas one Francis maybe, I mean, like,
Speaker 1: I don't think keeping him is a terrible idea, but
Speaker 1: I think you could you could maybe do something with
Speaker 1: that trade and end up ahead. Nichols asked the question
Speaker 1: about how do we get Rail into our teams must
Speaker 1: have player. I'm not sure if he quite must have,
Speaker 1: but I'm very tempted after last year, you know, blew
Speaker 1: my team up completely.
Speaker 3: Well, would you do it to yourself again?
Speaker 4: Jeezuz look good so far.
Speaker 1: He's at number one averaging mid so far and the
Speaker 1: mid premos are not doing much. So yeah, like Gold
Speaker 1: Coast draw the next few weeks. You mentioned Adelaide, this
Speaker 1: week's not great, but then they've Richmond I think in
Speaker 1: North in the next few as well, maybe Ports.
Speaker 3: So don't you do this every year?
Speaker 4: Year?
Speaker 3: He came out and scored like four tons in a row,
Speaker 3: and don I think he got injured when he was
Speaker 3: flying last year? After eight rounds he was the number
Speaker 3: one eight or nine rounds, he was the number one
Speaker 3: player in super coach, And I think logically, like you
Speaker 3: made the right call. Oh, they're playing two games in Darwin.
Speaker 3: He already has about twelve tackles a game, like he's
Speaker 3: going to have so much contested all up there, and
Speaker 3: then he sees and just fell Apart from that point, so,
Speaker 3: I don't know whether the only thing I can possibly
Speaker 3: think is that because he plays such a physical game
Speaker 3: that he gets to a certain point of the season
Speaker 3: where he has to regress a bit. But he looks
Speaker 3: like a different player this year, and I think he
Speaker 3: looks like to the eye, a little bit leaner than
Speaker 3: he maybe he's been in previous seasons as well, and
Speaker 3: that has enabled him to play like slightly more outside
Speaker 3: as well as still being a beast on the which
Speaker 3: I can see why people are keen, but yeah, i'd
Speaker 3: be I'd be weary based on like the history as well.
Speaker 2: I think he's a good trade in, but I think
Speaker 2: you don't blow your team up to get him in.
Speaker 2: I think if you're starting to pull stuff apart and
Speaker 2: you're trading out cheese or or you'd you know, I
Speaker 2: don't think he should be blowing it all up to
Speaker 2: get him in. He'll be good. I really like him.
Speaker 2: Five fifty k's the cheap is still be for a
Speaker 2: long time. You don't desperately need him. There will be other.
Speaker 3: Cheaper there's good midfield bargain's coming. Yeah, an upgrade season,
Speaker 3: So I don't think, yeah, you're desperately need to make
Speaker 3: that move.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got three people questioned about Elder You and
Speaker 2: you know we spoke before that Elder us on the
Speaker 2: watch list as someone who might drop off him price.
Speaker 2: People were asking if they should trade him. No, absolutely
Speaker 2: not going Elder You to Rowl is a waste of
Speaker 2: trade when people will be looking to trade elder you
Speaker 2: in in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: I hate that. And then only when the inevitable bounce
Speaker 3: back happens, it only hurts more knowing that you had
Speaker 3: him in your team four weeks, four weeks before you
Speaker 3: post one hundred and fifty, which you know is going
Speaker 3: to happen.
Speaker 4: Turn another trade to get him back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and paid more than you traded him out for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw him last year. He had a slump,
Speaker 2: he bounced back and was fantastic on that run home
Speaker 2: by did Hime. It'll hurt, It sucks, but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of mouse to feed, but he's
Speaker 3: going to he'll start averaging one hundred and ten at
Speaker 3: some stage.
Speaker 1: Benny asking Petrack at Petrack, at Petrack, should I trade
Speaker 1: to a Rowl or a Sinclair? Should I hold? Will
Speaker 1: I get forward Dbph, will Simon Goodwin and play track
Speaker 1: as a midfielder. He's getting very frustrated, which I am too.
Speaker 1: I'm at Patrakorno. He's every think he's about ninety, but
Speaker 1: he had ninety eight round one, then a couple of
Speaker 1: sort of eighties, very high at forward time last week
Speaker 1: I'm not sure Simon Goodwin does know really what the
Speaker 1: answer is there for Melbourne at the moment in the
Speaker 1: midfield or the forward line, so.
Speaker 4: Very hard to predict.
Speaker 1: But the prospect of him getting forward status, I don't
Speaker 1: think we can trade him, can we, Tim?
Speaker 3: I think you've got to hold down until at least
Speaker 3: well it's pre round six they kick in, so you've
Speaker 3: only got to look at gather round I think, gather
Speaker 3: end round five and have a look until then way
Speaker 3: up if you gets DPP and then you can make
Speaker 3: a call either way. But I know you asked me
Speaker 3: earlier in the week whether I thought you should trade
Speaker 3: Horn Francis or Petraca, and at that stage my answer
Speaker 3: was Petraca because I thought, who's out of those two,
Speaker 3: who's going to be top six, top eight in their position?
Speaker 3: And I didn't think Petraca was going to get close
Speaker 3: in the midfield. But yeah, a whole different story now
Speaker 3: we know he's above thirty five percent threshold for forward status,
Speaker 3: so yeah, I'll definitely be holding onto Petraca and reassessing
Speaker 3: in a few weeks time.
Speaker 1: I think the D's draw actually in round seven or
Speaker 1: eight or something. They have West Coast and Richmond back
Speaker 1: to back. So yeah, if we hold on till then
Speaker 1: we should get some reward. And that's similar for Max
Speaker 1: Gorn Anthony. How's this for question? Should you trade out
Speaker 1: both Gorn and Cherry Anthony asking no.
Speaker 2: I have a lot of body you would you then
Speaker 2: set and forget say it? With the stop trading the US?
Speaker 3: Who would you even trade them?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Unless one was read makes the money, unless one was
Speaker 3: flex And then you can get to you'd have any
Speaker 3: free sure like you could go to Essen's got the
Speaker 3: buye this week. I was going to say to Zach
Speaker 3: merrit off the buye, but you go to one of
Speaker 3: the Sydney guys, can't You're coming off thereby or Nick
Speaker 3: Decos potentially this week coming off his buy Yeah, no,
Speaker 3: you just I still hate it though he's especially Gorne.
Speaker 2: There's been a bit of talk about it, but he's yeah,
Speaker 2: they've got they've got you along this week, You've got
Speaker 2: Essendon the week after, who are tougher to play against
Speaker 2: the rucks Frio who aren't a super easy if Darcy's back,
Speaker 2: But then it opens up with Richmond West Coast Hawthorne, Brisbane,
Speaker 2: Sydney like it opens right up.
Speaker 3: I flagged trading Gorne a few weeks ago, and I
Speaker 3: think it had to be after round one, so so
Speaker 3: like a lot of us got him purely for the
Speaker 3: free hit that he had against Lockie Keith yep, and
Speaker 3: then Lockie Keith won GWS the game, and Gorne went
Speaker 3: from about one hundred and forty two hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: nine really late in the game, only just got that
Speaker 3: borderline captaincy score, which was disappointing. I think if you're
Speaker 3: going to split his value had to be then now
Speaker 3: he's lost about fifty k, you're already cashing him in
Speaker 3: at a loss, and he's got Sam de Conning or
Speaker 3: Ree Stanley or Mark Blitzav's this week, so you've just
Speaker 3: got to hope this is the week it bounces back
Speaker 3: and Melbourne starts playing decent footy. But yeah, their midfield's
Speaker 3: been all at sea the first few weeks, so I
Speaker 3: think Maxcorn's too good a player to continue to put
Speaker 3: out eighty five to one hundred scores every week. But yeah,
Speaker 3: it's going to be a frustrating ride, and people like
Speaker 3: me that pulled their team apart to get him in
Speaker 3: for round one. Are sort of really suffering now showing
Speaker 3: through in my rank, because yeah, I committed to him
Speaker 3: and Shecheesel and locking Eel, thinking especially that you needed
Speaker 3: gone and locking Theil for the early runs. And it's
Speaker 3: been very painful first few weeks.
Speaker 2: Well, I said to El earlier this week, the biggest
Speaker 2: problems in my team this year D one Harry Cheesel
Speaker 2: and one Locky Neil and F one Jason R. Roan. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: they're the ones that had caused me the most grief
Speaker 2: and very frustrating.
Speaker 3: I don't know why you trade Cherry either, Like he
Speaker 3: was Jack Darling at a fair bit of rockwork, but
Speaker 3: that was only because Cherry was a bit backed up
Speaker 3: on the weekend. They weren't sure how bad his injury was.
Speaker 3: And he already said she's pine play this week.
Speaker 2: Yep, exactly. Mick Randall also asking about Cheese and Callahan.
Speaker 2: We've covered Cheese or Callahan.
Speaker 3: Callahan's got West Coast this week. No way you trade
Speaker 3: him this week. He could come out and put one
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty on West Coast.
Speaker 2: I reckon with Callahan. You're there until the bye now,
Speaker 2: just you're invested.
Speaker 3: He's not unless unless he gets that spike score again,
Speaker 3: Like he's probably not going to make as much of
Speaker 3: a profit as people had hoped because Conn and Ash
Speaker 3: went to him on the weekend, and there's the possibility
Speaker 3: that he also cops Marcus Windhagen next week. But I
Speaker 3: wouldn't want to trade him out this week because he
Speaker 3: could go absolutely astronomical.
Speaker 2: H if you brought him in. It shouldn't have been
Speaker 2: for that cash spark. It should have been for points
Speaker 2: throughout the first half of the season. Or some people
Speaker 2: think he'd be a keeper, but yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Think there's a chance, you know, he ends up.
Speaker 3: As so we did. We did flag this b wap
Speaker 3: last week. He said Callahan tags and then we said
Speaker 3: Kotra would go to bailey Dale and that happened as well.
Speaker 3: When I say we, I mean last week.
Speaker 4: So I mean the tags is something we really had.
Speaker 3: My team's crap, but my advice where.
Speaker 4: There's just so many of them this earlier in the year.
Speaker 1: Normally you know, they don't start really cranking up to
Speaker 1: around the middle of the year, but just you know,
Speaker 1: Callahan gets two good games and then I think he
Speaker 1: had a couple of good touches early in the game
Speaker 1: last week, and Zamach was like, man.
Speaker 3: He was about thirty or thirty five a quarter a time. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and scored twenty for the rest of the game. So
Speaker 3: and now had Hawthorne. Hawthorne obviously coming back and stealing
Speaker 3: all the points didn't help there either.
Speaker 1: God, this is so Mick. I've got nearly five hundred
Speaker 1: K in the kiddy. This Mick plays a different game
Speaker 1: to the rest of us.
Speaker 3: But people who don't know he's one about basketballs he
Speaker 3: plays very differently to just about anyone we know.
Speaker 1: So if we're keeping all those players, he's got five
Speaker 1: hundred CAD again, and spend on whoever he likes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just trade Ben Patton to Nick Dakos and spend
Speaker 3: your money that way.
Speaker 4: Cam asking Tim tuk Miller a chance to get DPP
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 3: Potentially, I thought he was going to be close to
Speaker 3: thirty five percent than he is, So he's hovering about
Speaker 3: twenty five percent at the moment. So it's more his
Speaker 3: role is kind of starting around the midfield, maybe a
Speaker 3: bit of wing time, and then pushing forward, which is
Speaker 3: why he's kicking more goals and he had in previous season.
Speaker 3: So I think he's a chance mid year. I don't
Speaker 3: think he's going to make the pre round six DPPs.
Speaker 3: He would need to almost play exclusively forward in the
Speaker 3: next two rounds to get there, which if Damien Hardwick
Speaker 3: ause listening, please do that. But yeah, more more sort
Speaker 3: of for that that mid year edition of DPPs. I
Speaker 3: think for two can hopefully continues to play a bit
Speaker 3: more forward, but yeah, it might. Maybe it'll come down
Speaker 3: to where Sam Flanders ends up playing because he was
Speaker 3: really eased back on the weekend. So if he goes
Speaker 3: into midfield a little bit more, hopefully it's two's time
Speaker 3: for super coaches anyway that he eats into instead of
Speaker 3: maybe Bailey Humphreys and they.
Speaker 1: Obviously have that one fewer game because of the buye
Speaker 1: How many games do you need? Because it struck me
Speaker 1: with Zavie Lindsay, someone we thought would get defense DPP.
Speaker 1: But if he's missing the next couple.
Speaker 3: So it's three three for the first batch, so Lindsay's
Speaker 3: played three games. Yeah, so he could sneak in.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, that's good today.
Speaker 1: All right, one more question to finish off, Pats Luke
Speaker 1: asking were talking about all his forwards who might be
Speaker 1: top six. Is Joyce Simpkin a viable option this week?
Speaker 1: He's everaging over.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been one of the best performing forward woods
Speaker 2: so far this season. I was I looked pretty closely
Speaker 2: at him to start the year, decided against going there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's playing in the midfield, he's playing well. I think
Speaker 2: he's a Bible option Checkie Bars. He's got that really
Speaker 2: nasty first batch of buys. But if you want to
Speaker 2: trade out Jason Horn Francis and you're committed to it,
Speaker 2: and you don't trust the two cheaper guys, and you've
Speaker 2: got Baily Smith already, then Simpkin would be the guy
Speaker 2: I trade him too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I don't mind him.
Speaker 3: I just worry there's too many mouths to feed and
Speaker 3: no players as good as he's been in the first
Speaker 3: three round. There's better players in that midfield, Like Chesel
Speaker 3: was not going to average eighty for the whole year,
Speaker 3: So there's there's going to come a stage where Sheesell
Speaker 3: and Simpkins averages flip. I think, and even if simpkin
Speaker 3: average is ninety like that, there's just only so many
Speaker 3: points to go around in a team that realistically is
Speaker 3: probably gonna win what maximum eight games maybe, so that
Speaker 3: obviously is going to affect their their super coach scoring
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 4: George Woodloll might only be a week or so well,
Speaker 4: and that as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the ward Law factor, and well, there's there's plenty
Speaker 3: of good kids. They're probably They're probably going to want
Speaker 3: to put Pino Sullivan in there at some stage. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I think he started well, but I wouldn't be buying Simpkin.
Speaker 1: Yeah on Finasalvan quickly before we finish off wheel trading him.
Speaker 3: I don't know, well, it's going to end up depending
Speaker 3: what I do. Like I've played around with so many options,
Speaker 3: and I've tried to add mid status to Jayden Short
Speaker 3: so I can get rid of him instead of some
Speaker 3: of the others, and unfortunately he continues to be deaf
Speaker 3: only in my side. So I think Sam Deconning I'm
Speaker 3: definitely going to get rid of because yeah, I'm just
Speaker 3: willing to concede that he's a bust. But Phino Sullivan
Speaker 3: like he's going to pop at some stage. But I
Speaker 3: feel like it's going to be really slow burn. And
Speaker 3: We've been really privileged so far this year that a
Speaker 3: lot of rookies are making cash quickly and super Coach
Speaker 3: has gone from being a game where sort of cash
Speaker 3: is king. I like to say now that sort of
Speaker 3: quick cash is king and the quickie can upgrade your
Speaker 3: Side'd like to race to get premiums into your side. Now,
Speaker 3: it's not I'm going to sit until the midyear buys
Speaker 3: and I'm going to have my team completed by round fifteen,
Speaker 3: like the best coaches are completing their team by round ten,
Speaker 3: round eleven. So having someone like Pino Sullivan that I
Speaker 3: think made just under ten k on the weekend like
Speaker 3: that just doesn't fly anymore. Really, So yeah, getting choked
Speaker 3: up just the thought of trading I think we can
Speaker 3: pretty safely get rid of him if you have to
Speaker 3: do this week, and unless Nevert sub again, Like I'd
Speaker 3: be happier to keep someone like Nevitt that probably has
Speaker 3: the highest scoring him than Fino Sullivan that has the role,
Speaker 3: but we haven't seen the scoring potentially out of yet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and your thoughts just quickly patch on that.
Speaker 1: But also does make me wonder about Xavier Lindsay, the
Speaker 1: most traded out player this week. No, I don't really
Speaker 1: want to get rid of him because we know he
Speaker 1: can score really well. But if he's going to miss
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, it's that you know it's going
Speaker 1: to take him a while, and now he's got that
Speaker 1: low score and his system hate it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or am I just justifying it to myself?
Speaker 2: I see it and as somebody who traded out status
Speaker 2: for that reason that I just wanted to keep the
Speaker 2: cash rolling and wasn't sure what it was going to
Speaker 2: look like when he got back. All of that still
Speaker 2: appliers to Lindsay, but it's also we've had some rice
Speaker 2: for changes now, and I think Lindsay's like one that
Speaker 2: we can bank on later on in the season. We
Speaker 2: want rookies that will be coming through progressively. He just
Speaker 2: moves back in the chain. We've already locked him in.
Speaker 2: I would be trading out if you started a bo
Speaker 2: Allen that's not playing, or you've got Lucas Camparalli or
Speaker 2: Phinosullivan or someone that's just yeah, someone else, I'd be
Speaker 2: looking to trade out. And on the Phino Sullivan, don't
Speaker 2: think he's a must trade out. Don't think he's someone
Speaker 2: you have to try and to keep it all costs.
Speaker 2: I think it's if it suits what you're trying to
Speaker 2: do that, Trod and ten k could be far more
Speaker 2: useful than you know, a Lucas Camprilei sitting on the bench.
Speaker 2: But you want to try and move on the rookies
Speaker 2: that aren't generating cash first, with Lindsay being I think
Speaker 2: the exception.
Speaker 3: Wish old statist. Now Joey card Well's out post.
Speaker 2: Bar four to six weeks.
Speaker 3: Status would be a really other thing.
Speaker 1: We haven't really even mentioned that touch on the Bombers
Speaker 1: then Hawthorn this week obviously have the boys the last
Speaker 1: week of best at an't scoring until we get through
Speaker 1: to those meat. So we've got a run of ten
Speaker 1: or so weeks and we're going back to best twenty two.
Speaker 1: So when you're making all these moves, maybe just have
Speaker 1: a think about what your team's going to look like
Speaker 1: next week when we don't get to drop off four
Speaker 1: or five really low rookie scores. You know, you lose
Speaker 1: one with best twenty two, which is great this year,
Speaker 1: something we haven't had before and obviously with flex there,
Speaker 1: but yeah, you're going to have to accept quite a
Speaker 1: few of those scores.
Speaker 3: That we've been Yeah, well it's like a trade will
Speaker 3: Day this week, who's been frustrating apart from one quarter
Speaker 3: against GWS where he's scored about eighty points. But then
Speaker 3: I look at my team next week and don't want
Speaker 3: to field Elijah Hewitt mate, not particularly so. Yeah, the
Speaker 3: other things you've got definitely got a way up this
Speaker 3: week before you make your moves.
Speaker 1: And in three weeks I'd probably rather have Lindsay in
Speaker 1: my midfield than Christian Rays.
Speaker 3: But I think that's also why, like and I've said earlier,
Speaker 3: people should be boosting this week, and if you can,
Speaker 3: you can grab Humphrey and Marrick because you'd be happy
Speaker 3: fielding both. Yeah, and if they're the reason that you
Speaker 3: can push a rookie off field, I think they could
Speaker 3: be really good for that period of best twenty twos
Speaker 3: and then you can weigh up what you do with
Speaker 3: them sort of post that going into the midyear bias.
Speaker 2: Should he use a boost again? If you've already used
Speaker 2: on how many boosts? This is a question from me
Speaker 2: to the panel. How many I'm looking at us this week? Yeah,
Speaker 2: it feels too early to be using two boosts, but
Speaker 2: is it.
Speaker 1: I don't think you'd want to be out of boost
Speaker 1: by around six. It'd be good to have a couple still,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think it's just so important. This is
Speaker 1: the time to get your team right, especially the rookies
Speaker 1: and the cash cows. And if you use an extra
Speaker 1: boost and can turn a guy who's not making much money,
Speaker 1: like if you know Sullivan who's not playing into a
Speaker 1: Maraus or a Bis or Ryan Marritch and you know
Speaker 1: your one hundred and fifty k a head in a month,
Speaker 1: I think that's a boost well used.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm looking at using my second this week,
Speaker 3: which for me is which for me is conservative. So
Speaker 3: normally I would have been three by this point. So
Speaker 3: I think if you're on your second, you're okay. Three. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're probably going to be in a bit of strife
Speaker 3: in a few weeks time when when all these good
Speaker 3: options are coming up and people are you going sort
Speaker 3: of two up, one down or one one up, two
Speaker 3: down to try and fit as many premiums into their
Speaker 3: team as possible, and you're already scraping the barrel having
Speaker 3: no boost spice at around six round seven.
Speaker 2: Lovely, Well, now that I've got permission to use a boost,
Speaker 2: can can we wrap up so we can go?
Speaker 1: We better wrap it up there, I mean, I feel
Speaker 1: like we say this every year, and every week it's
Speaker 1: like this week, I'll use a boost, I'll get all
Speaker 1: these bookies and everything right, and then and then I'll down,
Speaker 1: yeah exactly, won't use the trade for a few weeks,
Speaker 1: and then next week comes around and we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: But thanks everybody for tuning in, Thanks Patch and Tim
Speaker 1: for jumping on again. And yeah, keep an eye on
Speaker 1: those DPP numbers. We've actually got every single player.
Speaker 4: In the league.
Speaker 1: You can look up there deep you know, time in position,
Speaker 1: We're all over the ground. So yeah, that's you can
Speaker 1: spend plenty of time digging into that.
Speaker 3: But if you thought Dane's orco was good, what about
Speaker 3: Cory Mobilio from Champion Data. It's sent a table three
Speaker 3: this week asolutely made by week.
Speaker 1: And plenty more content of course coming away, including the
Speaker 1: live team show on Thursday night. We'll talk through all
Speaker 1: the ins and outs and late captain tips there as well,
Speaker 1: so tune in for that. Until then, good luck with
Speaker 1: your trades and we'll talk soon.
