Thanks mate - 2275 was still a ways off top score for the week though.
Have never seen it as realistic to benchmark your score off the top ones for the week. I have no doubt the highest weekly scores would be biased towards individuals who enter multiple team entries.
Pretty sure I am going to make another trade this week. I'll still have 15 in the bank and will keep it like that for a while, which makes this one more difficult/important.
I'm about a good player short in each position. Vince not performing to expectation is killing me in the midfield, but his price has lowered dramatically so it's pointless trading him out now.
The back half consists of Hodge, Goddard, Hurn, Malceski and Kennelly. Ladson/Krakouer/Nason/Trengove the others.
The forward half consists of Higgins, Harvey, Franklin and Sylvia. Murphy/Ziebell/Davis/Gumbleton/Dangerfield the others.
Should I trade Krakouer for Hargrave?
or
Should I trade Ziebell for Varcoe?
* Hargrave hasn't had a good start, but scored well last week. Proven he can reach the 90's consistently last year. Not sure if he'll get back to that? Either way - he should at least break even/go up in price this week.
* Varcoe had a solid pre-season before getting injured. Came back last week for a 108 v Richmond. Probably going to spend more time in the midfield and based on that, improvement and the Geelong side - he could be a good pick up.
Hargrave has gone down in value a lot and could be a good pick up now TBB, but his scoring hasn't been great either.
Varcoe is one who interests me also, but I'd like to see him back it up with another high score before I take the plunge.
If you've got a bit of cash, perhaps trade say, Murphy + Ziebell for Chapman + Fyfe, or something along those lines? That way you're guaranteed another A grader, plus Fyfe should be a useful cash cow after his 3rd game this weekend.
In all honesty I wouldn't do either trades. Krakouer is a proven roller coaster in terms of scoring and really Varcoe has not done a lot yet and a 108 in a 100 + point winning margin doesn't make me want to jump aboard. I'd stick with Shaggy, Ziebell is still a little unproven but a young kid on a rebuilding side there just seems more upside.
EDIT: Whoops sorry misread, yes trade Krakouer for Shaggy!

Thoughts?
Varcoe was in my side pre-season, until he injured himself (broken thumb?). Definitely a worthy option.
But I would suggest that the Krakeour/Hargrave trade would be more beneficial. If you don't need to free up money, Shaggy will consistently score better than Krakeour. Although he does still have a bit of an injury cloud with the neck troubles.
Since I have both Seaby and Clark and only Maric who is playing, do you think it'd be worth trading Seaby? I think he'll be out for a while, which I was fine with, but now with Clark out I'm thinking he needs to go. Any tips?

Seaby is out for 12 weeks, trade him. I'd leave Clark in though.
Going all out this week. Trading in Bower/Grundy for Silvagni/Maguire and Selwood in for Jetta. Dropped 1500 places last week, sitting at 4000 overall not happy.
I can dump Ziebel and I'll have $510,800 to play with. This is exactly what Lenny Hayes costs. I will lose flexibility though because I only have Ziebel and Rohan as MID/FOR players.
Harvey ($507K) and Goodes ($491K) are options and both are MID/FOR.
Grundy ($496) is a FOR/DEF (as is Davis) so he would give me some flexibility if a high scoring forward is out short term (I can move one of my other MID/FOR players into the midfield).
All of these guys bar Grundy will drop in price this week (Ziebel will stay about the same) so maybe I should wait a week?
