As of today I've gone Goodes > Adams Shiel > Horsley Will leave me with $851k for double upgrade of Magner and Smith next week. Sounds good now, but come next Monday night I'm sure it will change lol

Horsely In When teams are named then we will get a clear picture but next week I can't wait to get Chappy and Goddard into my team!</blockquote> I would do that as well, but I want the MPP switch and have no way of getting Goodes into my midfield to trade Adams in there... Supercoach can be a pain!</blockquote> Fitzy there is one way. Trade out a midfield rookie then at the same time on tof he trade page move Goodes to the Mids. Then add Adams to Fwds. Complete that then a second trade Goodes for a DPP Premium like Sidebum and then you can switch Adams and Sidebum. I think that makes sense :?
<blockquote>Quote from Fitzy on May 7, 2012, 18:20 Pattay, dont have any fwds in mid so cant do that</blockquote> Fitzy study the trade page carefully and you'll see you can move Goodes to the Mids basically in Mid trade. That way you can trade Adams into the now vacant Fwd's spot.
Magner > Horsley Stanley > Beams/Dangermouse Not getting on the Adams train - going to wait a touch for the next rookie to come through ... Zorko perhaps. Plus I have plenty of GWS guys, and F/M players too. And, luckily right now, no injuries. Next week will be upgrade and downgrade up back for my sixth premium there using the two Richmond guys - Ellis or Morris to Spurr and the other to a premium (perhaps Heppell, Hurn, Thompson even, but most likely Heppell) Then I'm going to sit tight for a while. Will have 6 premium defenders and Bugg/Mohr at D7, 5 upgraded mids with Horsley/JMac/Shiel at M6, and 5 premium forwards with Porpoise at F6 and Treloar/Smith filling F7 for now.
<blockquote>Quote from Fitzy on May 7, 2012, 20:19 But I want to KEEP the MPP switch</blockquote> I tried it myself using Wingard and Goodes and to get Horsley in Mids and Adams in FWD you can do it but you'll lose the DPP.
<blockquote>Quote from banz on May 7, 2012, 21:03 I'm with Gonaddz, has Stanley peaked? SKT??</blockquote> His B/E suggests he has but hoping if we all send enough smoke signals up SKT might jump online and help us decide.

<blockquote>Quote from hack_pwn on May 7, 2012, 21:19 What are your opinions of Zaharakis? On the way up after two tons in a row?</blockquote> He seems good value IMO but it would be worth getting a bombers fan or 2 to discuss his current role and whether it might change when they get a few back from injury, he also fills a second rd12 fwd premo bye spot so would balance my team nicely! One option I am looking at is Kennedy & morris ==> horsley/Adams plus Zaha so I would also be keen to hear sone feedback also !
<blockquote>Quote from gogonz on May 7, 2012, 21:49 Hard to go past Goodes >>>> Danger..... Shiel/Magner >>>> Horsley.</blockquote> Definitely agree dangerfield is worth a look - question is whether I want him in by round 9 or as a round 12 or 13 upgrade during the byes !

At the moment I'm thinking O'Keefe to replace Goodes.
zhaka is being built into a midfield role this year and can be very clean with his disposal i cant really see anyone taking his spot thats coming back from injury , most of our injuries are forwards and backs.. yer ess have had a horror run last 2 years with injuries hird is definitely pushing the boundaries. i have zhaka in my team from the start but sidebum and dangerfield have been impressing this year
Re Stanley He was never a keeper, was always a cash cow. In early games was playing above his average potential. I think and said before season he would be player that would average 50-60. After his couple good early games he was great pick cos he would sky rocket in price and had and still does have great job security. Its got even better with loss of McEvoy. The loss of Macca should see him play bit more in ruck as i cant see Jason Blake being type player that can do it week in week out. Just think most people have all sudden thought he'd average 100 every week cos he started season like that. At end of day he was a rookie priced player that you'd think would score 60 or so and hopefully occassionly score 90-100... Still think he has those capabilies in him. Would have thought most people would have more important areas to fix up then him, unless you've dodged every single bullet thats been thrown at us this year!!

Tossing up with him and Chappy for my Goodes replacement. The bonus with Dangerfield is that he has the Round 11 bye, which means he doesn't really share it with any other prefmium forwards.

I'm considering a bit of a left field trade, but it would give me a full list of premiums in the forward line. I'm thinking cash in the big man Giles as he's made more cash than the other rookies. I have Jacobs and Kruezer in the rucks, plus Redden. There's not any real good ruck options, so here's the plan. Trade Giles for Adam Pattison with the R/F swing option. Then upgrade Magner to Roughead using Kennedy to swing the trade forward, as a Kennedy trade doesn't give me the cash required. This way I get a premium forward and if Kruezer or Jacobs go down I can swing Roughead into the ruck via Pattison
