Fantasy AFL Experiences and Challenges
00:00:41
Speaker
Yes, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Point of Difference AFL fantasy podcast, the Pod Pod. I'm Dos, and I'm here with Louis, as always. Welcome, Louis. Thanks, Dos. How are you going today, mate? Not too great after my weekend of fantasy footy, it must be said. It was a disastrous round for me, but I'm going okay. It's a bit chilly in Adelaide, actually. It's getting to that point of the year where it's starting to get nice and icy here, and I'm trying to warm myself up, Louis, in the ludio here.
00:01:08
Speaker
But tough round, tough round of fantasy footy. Yeah, there's a little bit of carnage across the round. A lot of injuries this far up until this season, so I don't know what to do about that at the moment, Doss, because I've had seven forced changes since the game began. Yep, and I think a lot of people are in your situation as well. You can't do anything about it, can you? No, absolutely not. But how'd you go in this round, though? Did you manage an OK score, or were you in the same situation as man, just a rancid round of footy?
00:01:36
Speaker
Well, I had an OK score. I'd certainly bounce back from last week, which was just abysmal. I've had a 19-16, which is probably OK. I think that's maybe about par. I've come up a few ranks this week. But yeah, off the back of Jordan to go is three. Could have been a little bit nicer too. What about you, Dossie?
Injuries Impacting Player Selections
00:01:56
Speaker
Louis, it was a rough round for me, OK? So I not only took that Jordan to go is three that we both suffered, unfortunately.
00:02:04
Speaker
But Louis have brought something, somewhat of a snack for our podcast tonight. Okay. And I want you to let me listen to know what I've brought along for us to snack on because Louis.
00:02:18
Speaker
I ate my first doughy on the weekend. You did, and did it have sprinkles as well? It had Clark-flavored sprinkles there on the donut. Dosey with the props. I like it. I only scored 18-16 with a degoi three and a Clark zero. So I had the issue of Highmore not being named, obviously. We knew that on Thursday last week. But then I was hopeful, and I also had Caleb Daniels. So I just had to rely
00:02:46
Speaker
I wanted to just bring in Maxi Gorm, which I did and I was happy with, but I had to rely on Clark playing and he obviously got the late green dot coming into the team. Yeah, and it almost come into danger with that ankle. But they're like, you know what? No, let's just leave him off. And, you know, even though some people didn't want him to come on for the cash loss, I was just like,
00:03:05
Speaker
Ah, just bring him on and score me a few points and get me up the ranks of it, but no. Who was the cover dog? Obviously there was no cover, but who was there? So yeah, it was Highmore and Caleb Daniel who I held. So that's who I had. So who was on your bench in the midfield?
00:03:19
Speaker
in the midfield. Oh, was it Jordan Clark was in your defense? Okay. Yeah. It was, it was a, it was a donut in defense. But you've got Carl of Daniel. Yes, I do. So he's got, and you got max gone now. Yes. It's not a bad score for, for copying a donut. Dossi it's 50 points better than me last week.
00:03:36
Speaker
Yeah, we'll take it, especially with the goy. But gee, I mean, we can start with our nailed it, failed it.
Jordan de Goey's Performance Concerns
00:03:43
Speaker
I want to start with failed it. It's just so obvious. The donut, for starters, for me, of course. I might just take a bite of my donut. While we're at it, I'm going to take a delicious bite right here. But why don't you go through your failed it. Mine and yours, I think, are the same here.
00:03:57
Speaker
Yeah, Jordan de Goey. Yep, pretty much. So, um, Jordan de Goey come out in the three, uh, obviously could not find the footy in the first quarter, caught the little knock to the schnoz, came back on ground, got a touch and the doctors decided, oh, something's not right with Jordan de Goey. He's found the footy. We better bring him back off and give him a concussion test. So they did that and he was concussed. So,
00:04:21
Speaker
Yeah, that was a failed it. It's been a failed it for four weeks now. He just needed to be traded out after week two. A lot of coaches held, especially with the circumstances this week regarding Taylor Adams. And we got burnt. And on top of that, just to sink the boot in, he didn't actually receive midfield eligibility.
00:04:39
Speaker
So you can't even switch him around or even yeah, it's it's just such a tough spot to be in. Even all these other guys have got the mid forward status and now we're stuck with the go is a pure forward. You can't even sort of rotate things around and maybe get his score off and hold him for a week or.
00:04:54
Speaker
It's a tough one. Disgusting. So I think he dropped about 60K this week. Yeah. And now the first rookie as well, Errol Goulden has surpassed him in price as well. There you go. By 7000. So he's now officially a rookie priced Jordan de Goey. Jordan de Goey would do anything to be like Errol Goulden.
00:05:13
Speaker
I would give everything. This is a question maybe for a bit later, but we might as well just touch on it now. Are you going to hold or fold Jordan to go? I know we've got the week off, so that probably makes a little bit easier, but I held Caleb Daniel and now I'm happy that I did. It's a bit of a different situation because Caleb Daniel has actually been scoring apart from his one poor score. Are you folding Jordan to go at this stage?
00:05:36
Speaker
I'm definitely folding because he's at a price range now where there's enough fat on the bone. I know this is a guy that we picked to be a keeper and premium and what have you, but there is still enough fat on the bone there to create opportunity to actually get a jump on the rest of the competition this week. So if you can bring in a, let's say Josh Kelly as the example, which I tweeted out during the week, then all of a sudden you've got Josh Kelly one, two, three weeks before everybody else while they're still getting rookies off their ground. So you can make up points there.
00:06:06
Speaker
That's what I want to do with Jordan to go because based on what we've seen, why would you hold him?
Rookie Strategy Adjustments
00:06:11
Speaker
Yeah, four and a three. Yes, one of them was injured. I think if you've got holes on your bench, like if you've got a Hunter or a Meek or a Dow, people like that, even a Hymor, if he doesn't get named this week, he had a really good game in the VFL, so he'd hope he gets named. But if you've got guys like these and they're just going to be red dots on your bench,
00:06:30
Speaker
And you know to go is at least best twenty two that's something that we can guarantee what you'd hope so anyway on his money we know what he's that he's going to be in the best team and he's going to play. So why don't we just hold him for a week and try and fix up these guaranteed red dots into the future.
00:06:48
Speaker
And then at least he's actually got a nice schedule coming back too. So I think his first two games back might be Gold Coast North, which is two nice match ups. Surely he can give us some return there. And then we've also got ahead of the competition in another way by fixing those rookies on the bench.
00:07:04
Speaker
Look, looking through it from my sort of scope of things, I've had seven false changes. So that's ridiculous up until this point. There's no guarantee that after, if Jordan de Gogh returns, scores a 60, there's no guarantee I'm ever going to get him out of my side. Certainly not it.
00:07:22
Speaker
what is price that unless I'm going down or significantly up. So look, I'd rather cut my losses. It's clear to me that Jordan to go is not playing midfield, especially with Vinlay McCray in that side. Now he pretty much spent his whole last quarter in that midfield and looked fantastic. So look, if I'm Collingwood, yeah, I think he's going to continue to play the role he is, especially after returning from injury.
00:07:47
Speaker
Yeah it's a shame but what about what about a situation the opposite end of the spectrum cuz only ten percent of the compound to go. What about the Ridley injuries well like just touching on that really quickly you hold a guy like him cuz he's actually a premium right.
00:08:02
Speaker
Yeah, so do you know how many weeks he's missing, Dolph? Well, I think it was just concussion, so it should just be the one week. So one to two, yeah. Well, yeah, certainly I would hold Ridley. I assume most coaches didn't start with Ridley. It was extremely unique to begin with. So if you trade him out now, essentially you've used two, maybe three trades. If you bring him back in within five rounds of football, that doesn't seem efficient to me.
00:08:26
Speaker
No. All right. Let's get on to our nailed it, Louis, for the week and who did well for you this week. Who was your nailed it for the week? My nailed it was Max Gorn on Debut. So I think he scored 131, was my captain straight off the bat. And gee, it's good when you can trade in players and you get immediate reward, isn't it?
00:08:44
Speaker
Oh, it's, it's beautiful. I did the same thing, but I'm going to give a bit of love to the Bont who has been sitting in my team for a few weeks, not doing a whole heap, but he came out for me as well. And gee, he was looking like he was, he was matching Dunkley for a while there. Both of them gone for nearly the double century. I think Dunkley, if he was in my team might've, uh, might've got that, uh, the nailed it for this week. He's in your squad too. He is stiff and it's partly due to my own failures.
00:09:11
Speaker
I fell asleep and didn't realise that the V was not on Josh Dunkley. It was in fact on Zach Merritt and the loop hole I had played during that game. So major oversight. Too sleepy. Sleepy low. Understandable. Gold Coast, 133 on Gold Coast was the bond. So he's my nailed it. Now, Louis, new DP pays drop, which is the big news for the weeks. A lot of juicy, juicy options for us. And
Analyzing Key Player Values
00:09:39
Speaker
to go through and we're going to go through the relevant ones a bit differently. We're going to introduce the segment from last week, which was popular with the listeners in the DPP special edition of the Tempt or Trap.
00:09:56
Speaker
And this is the temp door trap where we're talking about players if they're tempting or if they're more of a trap and we're going through the new DPP additions, the dual position player. These players have added defender status. We'll start in the defensive line. First one off the bat here, Dyson Hepple, 500 and oh yeah, straight off the bat. Strayed off the bat, defender eligible now and he attempted.
00:10:19
Speaker
seriously cheap 586K, notoriously a 90 plus guy, 100 plus when he plays midfield, but at the half back roll, I think he's averaging, I think he's gone 85, 85, 85, just about in his three games. So it's still a concern about his body, but if that's a concern for you, you can't trade him in general because the risk is increased every single game that goes past if you think he's an injury prone player.
00:10:46
Speaker
So, yeah, Dyson Apple 586 K mid defender. He's someone you can probably get up to from Jordan Clark or you got to go this way. It's not too hard. I think he's going to be a top six, the top 10 defender, which is more than enough to be a keeper in your side. So, Dyson Apple, massive tent. He's got started in this week. So annoyed. I started with him and then
00:11:08
Speaker
Trade in him out because he was out for a week and then it sounded like he might have, you know, you never know with him. Yeah, it was a backing draft for a while. And then he came back the next week and he's. Well, the messaging was loose. It was, I'm not sure when he's going to be back and panic stations. If you are going to bring him in, though, this week is the perfect week to do it as well. Given the price and the matchup, Collingwood without Jordan Ridley, he's versing the easiest team. I'm glad you picked up on that. I forgot he had Collingwood this week. Yeah. Oh.
00:11:35
Speaker
So tempting. Oh, yeah. All right next player on the new dpp's is Jack Zebel temp door trap He's seven hundred and thirty five thousand dollars now getting up there, but he's a forward defender now So he is a temp, but right now you are paying a lot for Jack's evil
00:11:53
Speaker
So, look, a lot of coaches decided, okay, yep, Ridley's worth paying up for, or Jack Bose is worth paying up for at his price. I've got no problems with paying up for Jack's Evil, but personally, I think that it's a trap at his price now. He was a great selection two or three weeks ago, and really, we probably should have seen the writing on the wall.
00:12:14
Speaker
What a blessed run he's had to start this season in his role, though. So he starts as the defender, the new the new kick out defender for North Melbourne, running around loose in the back line. The Luke McDonald role of last year, Luke McDonald comes back to take that role for five minutes and then he's out and then Aaron Hall starts looking like, oh, maybe he's going to steal a few points off Zebel. He gets injured straight away. Zebel is just back there racking up game to game. It's
00:12:42
Speaker
He's hemorrhaging you know if you're not having him at the moment he's one of those players that kind of kills you but luckily not much of the comp owns him right now do you think that's going to change or do you think he scored an awkwardly price that people are going to be off him and is he there for a nice pod pod pod pod pod he's definitely a pod pod but i think he fits the mold of like a jared lions types where.
00:13:03
Speaker
They actually are really good fantasy players, but they're just not a sexy pick. So I think Zebel falls into that category. I'm not going to try and convince anyone not to pick him because with forward and defensive status, that's fantastic. And based on what he's been going at so far, he's pretty much got a mortgage on kick ins.
00:13:20
Speaker
Yeah, he's a really good option. I just don't want to pay that much for Jack's evil. And that's why I think it's a trap. Nick Hind, is he still worth it? Five hundred and fifty six thousand. He's a forward defender now. Probably good for owners that have him. I'm thinking more on the trap side in terms of if you don't have him at that price now, you can go up 30 K and find a keeper in defense. And that being Zach Williams. So I think that Nick Hind is now a pass. He's still high on Zach Williams. I am still high on Zach Williams, certainly. OK.
00:13:48
Speaker
He hasn't shown much yet for us in the fantasy arena. Yeah, but right now at his price, he reflects total upside and based on his roll, which is there certainly, he's attending center bounces, it only takes one week to click. And if you miss that, well, yes, right now you're copping a few eighties, which isn't great. But if you get that 120 off the bat, the rest of the competition is going to follow. So if you can snare that 120 and move on and
00:14:14
Speaker
improve your side elsewhere before the rest of the competition. This is what it's about. Yeah, I've got to agree, though, in terms of high and diverse Williams, I'm taking Williams. One's a keeper. I think that's something coaches have to be really switched on about is can this guy actually be someone that I'm happy carrying at the end of the year?
00:14:34
Speaker
And I think Hind was one that you're happy you started with, but yeah, don't chase him now, even at that price. It's still cheapish, but yeah, not for me. Jarman Impy, similar sort of situation perhaps, but he's actually been pumping out some really nice scores. He's now available as a defender, as a forward defender. Probably missed the boat on Impy there at his price. Yeah, probably missed the boat. His scoring's actually really surprising me. I don't really know what to make of it.
00:15:01
Speaker
I know the impies are very good. Orlon's backline, just they share the ball around a bit. They share the ball around a bit. They do, and they are more than what they have in previous years too, which is why we're seeing blokes like CJ and Hardwick and all that sort of popping up. Scrimmy for 100 plus. Dave was playing well beforehand. So yeah, he suits the team.
00:15:22
Speaker
another one though that's probably just not very much of a sexy pick and I do worry that Jarman Impy is one game away from locking down on a small forward because he's very capable of that. Yeah another couple of so that's a trap for Impy then and then I guess this next one certainly a trap for me Bailey Dale he's got defensive status just wanted to throw off you in there that aren't tempting
00:15:43
Speaker
Maybe a trap there because Caleb Daniel out, he toned up with Caleb Daniel out of the side. Playing a much better role on half back is Bayley Dale, but he's certainly just a draft option and a trap for Classic. First thought, how much does Bayley Dale look like Jackson McRae when you're watching a Dogs game?
00:15:59
Speaker
They run the same, they're thin, they've both got ones, the kick. Yeah, a little bit of everything, but he's no Jackson McCray, that's for sure. Bailey Dale's a trap, 550K. He's a great roleplay. He's a really good football player. He's not a fantasy player. And he's much better in that role, so draft watch there. Aaron Hall.
00:16:19
Speaker
went healthy in brackets here because Aaron Hall got injured on the weekend again. He's had started well. Yeah, he did. He started really well. That's two games now. Aaron Hall's he had the sub. So he had like a five percent game where he scored well, five percent time on ground. And now he's had another one quarter game where it was just it was an unlucky concussion. Mitch Duncan went to smother and jumped up and landed right on his head. So Aaron Hall, I think when he is back, he's so tempting.
00:16:47
Speaker
He's become an option again because I'm assuming his break even is going to be extremely high based off of that score. So 538K currently, I can see that dropping. The good thing is we can give him a week to see if that role is still there in the back line. So he's a perfect wait and see option. And with forward and defender status, you'd probably want him up forward, I'd suggest.
00:17:10
Speaker
in that defensive role that he was playing next to Zable. So him and Zable were just kind of commanding that back line, chipping it together. And it's a very juicy role. So Aaron Hall for me is also tempting. I'm not doing attempt or trap for the guys that have added midfield. We know that they're, you know, the Jack Crisps and stuff. That's just added flexibility. Makes them relevant.
00:17:28
Speaker
It makes some relevance to be able to switch around, but it's not something, you're not going to bring Jack Crisp into your midfield unless you've sort of got to do that based on structure. Based on rookies and stench, yep. So we'll skip right past that, but players that have added forwards, I just want to mention though, Chrissy Burgess, he added the rock status.
New Forward Status and Impact
00:17:45
Speaker
He got it. He got it. Was that three games that he played in the end? And he scored a nice 30, I think, on the weekend. I think that's about what Chris Burgess does. Just to shout out a favourite of the pod-pod, Chrissie Bejes. It might be time he might be on the chopping block, unfortunately, for the Suns, who aren't performing well under Stewie Jew.
00:18:02
Speaker
Nah, they'll swing the axe this week, so... Feah Rainey in the VFL racking up 140s. Did he really? He did. Huge score. And in the VFL now, I've told Heft to mention it on the Cape Lake pod because it's more Cape Lake relevant at the moment, but...
00:18:16
Speaker
Fair any just back to his racking up ways and now that it's the VFL you can't say it's just an evil competition How old is he now fair any 24 23 shit is that is that all very yeah, just being benched by due hashtag stewie G out Now these guys that have added forward status tempt or trap Josh Kelly
00:18:38
Speaker
Massive 6.99k mid forward now. Huge temp. Josh Kelly is a forward. Has that even happened before? He's a 115 averaging player at his best. You wouldn't jump on this week though. Well, you were saying before, maybe get ahead of the curve. Well, you can, but 120 breakeven price in 700k, I think.
00:19:02
Speaker
I said on the pod last week, Josh Kelly actually hasn't shown enough to be an upgraded target to a discounted premium. He's got the status for a reason. He's not playing in the juicy midfield role where he scores well. That's it. You don't have to go pick him up. Just because Josh Kelly's got forward status doesn't mean it's the Josh Kelly we know and love being 110 plus guy.
00:19:24
Speaker
But what you can look at is that he's averaging 87, which is knocking on the door of being a top six forward most years. And he's a guy that I think from now on probably averages 105. Yeah, the upside is maintainable by Josh Kelly. So I think massive tempt. You can do it this week, but he's going to have to be in your side by the end of this year.
00:19:45
Speaker
What do you buy into the fact that, why is he playing forward? Do you think there is something going on or do you just think it's purely structural? I've identified the exact problem actually, Doss. I've been thinking about this for a few weeks now. The data has definitely presented itself and I've come to this conclusion.
00:20:05
Speaker
Leon Cameron's not a good coach. Okay. He's not a good coach. All right, that sorts it out then. Nat 5, $11,000 cheaper than Josh Kelly, now available as a forward, very juicy option, temp to trap. Tempt. So he's the guy this week, you probably go over Josh Kelly just based on that 90 break even. So he's probably bottomed out at 688K.
00:20:29
Speaker
We know what Nat5 does. He's a 105 guy. He's a 90 guy when he plays forward. He still attends stoppages. He still goes into the guts. He still gets that rotation. So I think Nat5 is the safest forward pick this week, probably. And unlike past years, they've got North Melbourne this weekend. He averages 111 against them. They don't roll out taggers these days either.
00:20:55
Speaker
That's a capable North across his career, so we're not actually talking about 2021 North. What can he do versus them? Yep, it's going to be big. West Coast the week after, where he tons up against them as well. With that 90 break even, by the way, if Nat 5 does, for whatever reason, go 130 this week versus North.
00:21:13
Speaker
You've got one more week before he's out of reach, most likely, unless you've got a bit of cash sitting there. So yeah, I really like Nat 5 this week. He averages tons against every team except two before he's by as well. So, yep, very tempting there. Didn't work well for still side bottom. No, no. Jack Billings at $700,000. He's now got forward status as well. What do you think there? Tempt a trap for Jack Billings? Billings is a trap these days, I think.
00:21:41
Speaker
He's got a huge ceiling is my thing. He does. He's got a massive ceiling, but... Just saints at the moment is the problem. How does he fit in now? He's got Hanabri. I know he's not fit at the moment, but now there's Ross back in there. There's Crouch. There's Steele. Jones runs through there quite a bit. Jack Higgins has been earmarked for that role as well. I just don't see how Jack Billings
00:22:05
Speaker
He was extremely relevant when Saints weren't relevant and I think there's been a bit of a switch now. Yeah, Billings for me, I always love the way he goes about it and I actually, he's just one of my, I've got a soft spot for Billings. I do like the way he plays. Sort of a bit gaff-like in the way he certainly demands the pill.
00:22:23
Speaker
quite a bit when he's out on his own, sort of a bit of that observable thirst factor about Jack Billings. He's been scoring well, as you said, when the Saints were kind of struggling a bit early in the season. But, gee, yeah, 57 on the weekend. He scored over 100 twice this year already.
00:22:44
Speaker
Not many forwards are doing that. I just think he's one that I am tempted by, but I'm wary at the moment. With 130 break-even, you're definitely waiting a couple of weeks for Billings. That's a very good point, Dos. What Jack Billings is capable of as a floor is a lot better than what a lot of the other forwards are capable of as a floor. And as we just said, his ceiling is up there with the best of him. So, yeah, I've probably gone a bit early in saying that. No, he's not relevant, I think.
00:23:11
Speaker
Jack Bellings finds a bit of form. Yes, he's a top six forward. Right now he's a trap. But yeah, you've swayed me a bit there, Doss. Let's go. Let's shoot through these last four on the Tempt of Traps. Locky Hunter, Tempt of Trap. Tempt in a few weeks. Just want to see a bit better scoring from him. Tim English, ruck forward now.
00:23:28
Speaker
Still attempt, based on what we've seen Tim English can do. He knocked on the door. I did, but he knocked on the door as being a top six forward now. So, if you've got that Matty Flynn, Paul Hunter, you've got that rookie R2, then yeah, maybe Tim English is someone where this is, let's go into it actually, Dos. Okay.
00:23:50
Speaker
This week, if you don't have a set and forget ruck structure, ideally you want Matt Flynn on the field because he's averaging 83. Yep. And he's likely to play. He's the best of the rookies up until this point, granted he's missed a couple of games. So if you can get him on field
00:24:09
Speaker
and then put English in your forward line and let's use Braden Campbell as an example. Get him off the field, who's going at, thereabouts, 45. Instantly you improve your side by, you know, 40 points just based on rookie roulette potentially. So, I really like Tim English's flexibility over the next few weeks and especially during his buy rounds.
00:24:29
Speaker
All right. That's an interesting take. I actually, the next guy, I'm tempted by this guy.
Ruck Options Comparison
00:24:34
Speaker
No. Yes, I am at 70,000 cheaper. You can talk about it. Sean Darcy getting forward status. He's looked, gee, I think I was on the Cape League pod a couple of weeks ago with Hef and I was talking from a keeper perspective. Sean Darcy looks a lot fitter, a lot better and ready to take that next step that we have thought
00:24:55
Speaker
is in him for quite some time. He was in the same conversations as your Tim Englishes a few years ago and he sort of dropped off and it was the injuries just kept holding him back. He's looking so fit and firing at the moment. Now that they've dumped Meek, he's back in the ruck playing a lot, you know, playing a lot more ruck as they're using him, using Lob more as the chopper out. He's now pure ruck.
00:25:18
Speaker
moving forward and he's a damaging forward when he moves forward. I've really liked him, especially after toning up on the weekend he's got north this week, who north have been allowing a few nice scores against them from the rucks. Forward status is just so juicy for a ruck eligible player and I don't see the reason why we're talking about English. He's playing a lot more forward. He is actually just genuinely playing forward. I think Darcy now moves back into the rucker fair bit. He's maybe even more tempting to me than English.
00:25:47
Speaker
Fortunately, what we've seen from Sean Darcy is that his floor is extremely low. So when he doesn't get on the end of some of those good games, he does dish up a 45 and you could make the case for English and I'm sure he's done that as well. I just think that Sean Darcy in a
00:26:04
Speaker
Poor side, Fremantle. They're probably coming up bottom six to eight, I think. I just prefer English. At the end of the day, I can see team English being a top six forward. I can't see Sean Darcy doing that.
00:26:19
Speaker
Yeah, I might be on the other side. Although that's okay. That's there's there's relevant points for both. Yeah. Locky Weller. Last one quickly. Temple Trap. That's an interesting. It's a trap. It is. It is. But it's an interesting one to get that forward status obviously moved off the wing a bit there according to champion data. We've also got that flexibility now with Errol Gordon and Tom Powell gaining the forward status. So that's really handy for our trades as well.
00:26:44
Speaker
Yeah, I was surprised by Tom Powell, to be honest, but fantastic to have them in the forward line. And we can start picking some of these midfield rookies once they appear, because they're going to be the ones that score well. And we can still carry your Errol Gordon's, your Tom Powell's for a few more weeks. Yeah, a massive addition of Temptal Trap with the new DPPs. We hope you enjoyed
Fantasy Buy Round Strategies
00:27:03
Speaker
that. But now it's time for everyone's favorite segment, Dossie's Dilemma.
00:27:13
Speaker
Dossie's dilemma for the week, Louis, I want to talk about buy round planning. And it's my Dossie's dilemma because I'm not a sophisticated fantasy coach like yourself, Louis, or like the statesman of the world. You know, it's hard enough for me to trade week to week as it is. Now I'm starting to happen to think about buy rounds because after round six, we'll be past the quarter way point of the fantasy season here and the footy season.
00:27:40
Speaker
Is it time to really start planning ahead with our trades and looking towards the buyers that start in round 12, so only six rounds away from them, you know, really impacting our teams? We haven't really spoken much about the buyers on this podcast yet. I just want to know your buy around philosophy in general and just what, you know, is it time to start really thinking about this in our trades?
00:28:02
Speaker
Okay, so first of all, have a look at your team and work out the split of players that are going to be playing round 12, round 13, round 14. Divide that into your premiums, okay? So figure out which premiums you're going to be able to rely on week in, week out through those buy rounds. Then consider the mid prices that you plan on holding.
00:28:23
Speaker
through those buy rounds, but also identify the ones that you then plan on offloading after their buy round. So it's hard to, I hope I'm making sense here. Rookies, when you divide them up now, are not going to be relevant because in round 12, barring maybe a golden or a
00:28:44
Speaker
or a Warner, you're not gonna have these rookies there. So disregard rookies. What I would say now at round six, look at your team, what's the split? If you are heavily on one by round, then yes, okay, time to start making some moves to even out the spread. But if you're not, then maybe it helps you make a decision. But right now, I think you're probably worrying a little bit too much.
00:29:11
Speaker
All right, we might return to that in future weeks as well, but that's good advice for the short term. It's a good precursor because buy around planning does start now and it does start over the next two weeks. It just depends what situation your team is in, I think. For me, my strategy always is just 18 green dots. I don't try to overcomplicate it. The buy rounds are hard. Don't be confused. They're hard to navigate. So if I can have 18 green dots week in, week out, generally that's better than 70% of the competition I've realized.
00:29:40
Speaker
Yeah, I think it's been a talking with statesman in the past over the years. He generally makes a huge jump during the by rounds and it is it is where coaches that are really serious about it can make a huge leap over the the general competition. I guess is is really looking towards those by rounds and
00:29:57
Speaker
that's why I sort of just mentioned I think yeah just having a thought in the back of your mind like you're saying it's really good to look at your premiums that's what I'll be doing right now if you've got the if you've got the fantasy coach you can use the by detector on there and if not just I guess write it down a little piece of paper or whatever and and have a look and yeah it is handy to know I think I think I've got a nice little balance looking at my little colors here on the by detector
00:30:18
Speaker
But make no mistake, the buy rounds are the time to jump in rankings. So I couldn't actually give a stuff if someone's ranked 500 right now. I couldn't give a stuff if they're ranked 10,000.
00:30:30
Speaker
Well, that's where I am, Louis, so that makes a lot. Thank you. I want to know what they're ranked after around 14, because there's plenty of time to cock it up before the buys, and then there's plenty of opportunity to cock it up during the buys. So after that, that's when we can start getting a nice idea of how we're going as a fantasy side. Beautiful. Louis, show me the money. Show me the money! Show me the money!
00:30:56
Speaker
Okay, Louie, these are your top five rookie candidates based on break even, job security.
Top Rookie Candidates
00:31:01
Speaker
We generally exclude the incredibly highly owned guys as well that have had their cash rise already, like, you know, originally in the, in the early days, your Goldens and your Warners. But these are also players under $300,000. So maybe a guy like Archie Perkins, I think he's still actually a really nice option, but he's not in this show me the money segment because we're looking at guys under 300,000.
00:31:23
Speaker
and it's based on job security and break even. So all those things weighed up. Your top five, they're not in top five order, they're just in five, aren't they? Yeah, it's just five. So first of all, we've got Miles Bergman, who was there for a lot of coaches in round one with Errol Gordon and Chad Warner. The reason he's back is because he was dropped for two games. He came back, he was about 229k with a low break even. Yeah.
00:31:47
Speaker
Well, he returned and he came back, he dished up at 69 or something like that. Nice. 273K minus eight break even. He's my number one this week because he made 50K this week. I think he can make 40K next. Job security? Beautiful. It's there. It's there now. Trust me. Yeah. Louis knows. Louis knows when it comes to port. All right. It's there. Job security. All right. Who's your next player on Show Me The Money?
00:32:10
Speaker
Number two is someone I debated putting here. I know it's not ranked, but he was always going to be in the five. What am I saying? Finlay McCray is an option. Has to be an option. I went early last week. I'm glad you went early because he's going to play every single game for the rest of the year, I think. And he's going to be stellar. Once he was thrown into the midfield in that fourth quarter, he was great. 32 points in the last quarter.
00:32:35
Speaker
Considering he only scored 50 odd for the game, that's huge. I was about to say, he was ordinary up to then, based on roll, but when he was thrown in there, he thrived. So, I like Vin May McCray. I think he had about 10 CBAs. He's got a 20 break even. You can wait. You can still wait. So, that's why I've got Miles Bergman ahead of him and why, if I was in
00:32:55
Speaker
another coaches situation, I'd be picking my next player first. And that's Bo McCreary. So he's got a minus two breakeven, he's at 240k. And what we've seen from Bo McCreary is that first of all, he can tackle. Yeah, he's a really good tackle. And I think that's why he's in the team. So he's going to have five to six tackles each week. But now we can hit the scoreboard. We knew we could hit the scoreboard in VFL.
00:33:18
Speaker
but he did it in AFL and he kicked some really good goals on the weekend. So I love Bo McCreary. He was someone that I'd earmarked in the preseason. So maybe there's a little bit of bias showing through, but he's someone that I would be targeting this week too. Yeah, that's it. I looked at him last week. He played pretty low time on ground in his first week, but he nailed those tackles, as you're saying. And yeah, following another stellar week, you know, and his time on ground actually bumped up.
00:33:44
Speaker
And it was a tough game against West Coast. He still managed to 59. His time on ground jumped 16%, maybe thanks to the early injury from de Goey. But yeah, his tackling was still there. Got the three tackles, four marks, upped his marks, and managed to hit the scoreboard. Interesting that the time on ground jumped on a bigger oval as well, actually. Well, I think it was just the injuries. How on de Goey, he was bound to get it. It might come back down to earth in the Anzac Day clash. So next up's a bit left field, but I've received a squirt.
00:34:13
Speaker
Oh, you have. Tom Hymal. Tom Hymal, is he back for us this week? I don't know. I can't confirm it. I can't confirm it, but it's not like the port. It's not like the port inside, uh, inside sort of. I don't like confirming port news either because I don't want to be that guy that, but don't want to get in trouble with you with your sources there. That's it. But, um, Tom Hymal have been
00:34:38
Speaker
Fairly reliably told. We'll be back this week. 240K has the one break even. And obviously that defender status, which is where some coaches like you, Dos, don't have that cover. So I think once Tom Highmore does return, I think he gets a few games at it because Saints dished up a miserable performance versus Richmond. Yeah. Who's your final player, your number five on Show Me The Money? So number five, I couldn't really split.
00:35:08
Speaker
Waterman, I have just ahead at 256K. He's got the 12 break even, so he's a mature age. You can still jump on him. He's not going to set the world on fire. He's probably going to be a 50 averaging rookie. Yeah, see, I'd prefer paying 50K extra and getting in Archie Perkins. I just think he's higher. And you can play him on field. His job security is going to be there. I think they're just going to play the kids.
00:35:33
Speaker
Yeah, and you can put him on field with fairly good confidence. Getting an 80 point game last week's really sort of got me excited on that. It's funny, because with my rookie structure, I've always favored the cheaper guy. Yeah. Always. And generally it's worked, because as we know, when players do go up in price, their break even gets scaled accordingly. So if Archie Perkins dishes out at 90 this week, yes, his break even is going to go down. But if, let's say, Finlay McCray,
00:36:03
Speaker
goes 90 this week, their break even is going to have a 10 point difference. Yeah, I'd still go. Yeah, that's. So I understand what you're saying. And by all means, Archie Perkins is going to be a much better option on field, which is why you might pick Finlay McCrae first out of all these rookies or Bergman you can put on field as well. But Finlay McCrae, OK, I reckon I can get a 60 plus out of him, which is a number. I'd probably be similar to you in that Bergman McCrae, but then I tend to over all these guys here, maybe McCreary, but then I'd be starting to look at
00:36:32
Speaker
at Archie Perkins, maybe be keen to spend up. For a rare case where we'd spend over 300 car, I think he's one of the guys I might consider it. Definitely. Maybe going in the future, I should actually say whether or not they're a candidate on field. So Bo McCreary, I wouldn't put on field. Tom Highmore, I wouldn't put on field. And Waterman, I wouldn't put on field. Another one I like is R2. Obviously, another mature age, R2 being R2 Boston or Velargi.
00:37:00
Speaker
Ooh, very well done. Thank you very much. Just in case we got confused with a ruck too. He's 224k, 9 break even. Don't mind him. Considered in the pre-season, but yeah. I mean, it's not a sexy pick. And special mentions to Jordan Sweet, who probably goes out this week with Martin returning. Yeah, I think so. And Jyfarah Farah.
00:37:21
Speaker
who I played better for you. You did. And what he's not an option because a lot of he was he's not sold on the job. Second game he played he was playing in defense and I think he's previously been a forward for them. As far as I know, so it was only second game and we know how the Gold Coast defense is sharing it around just plus sixes all over the shop.
00:37:44
Speaker
Pretty well and and stewie do actually announced it as his career defining game I think he said that to the lads said that to the group at halftime when they were performing poorly He's like look, this is a you know, something like a career defining game for the Farah. Is that
00:38:00
Speaker
Well mate, he's a guy that I've looked at, but maybe the job security is there then. We're going to swing the axe this week, but look, Guy Farrow got a mention because I just haven't looked into him much, to be honest. Didn't really consider him. But he played with him and can't define the time to have a look. Well, Chris Burgess didn't get much of a mention from me either.
00:38:20
Speaker
Alright, it's time to target, Louis. Based on break-even fixture, top six, whatever we want. Who's it time to target this week? I really
Improving Teams with Target Players
00:38:28
Speaker
like Jack Chris, mate. He's got Essendon Gold Coast and North next. He's absolutely setting the world on fire, playing in a midfield role, and even when he's not,
00:38:37
Speaker
which he wasn't as much on the weekend. He still dishes out a 124. So I really liked Jack Crisp and he's always been a top six defender at various stages. I think last year, sorry, the year before last year it clicked. Yeah. And then last year it was a bit tricky for him, but the end of last year clicked again with Jack Crisp. Wait till he gets hot as well. I mean, I started with him, which was probably a mistake, but you always with Crisp, he goes on a stretch and he goes bang, bang, bang, bang. He often does that.
00:39:04
Speaker
Besides Lloyd, is there a, maybe Laird now, is there a defender that can reach the ceiling of Jack Crisp? Jack Sebel. Jack Sebel, yeah, maybe. Maybe he has, but yeah, Jack Crisp, I mean, historically has been this defender who's been a bit of a unicorn, as you like to say, Tossi, in that he can score 150.
00:39:26
Speaker
Nice matchup and you don't get that from many defenders So I really like Jack Crisp and you got a match up is fantastic. You got another one there too to target there Yeah, I've got come Lord. So this for a slightly different reason. He's extremely cheap based on what he's done in the past So he's a 90 guy historically priced at 73. So he's he's 15 points unders. Yeah minimum and
00:39:49
Speaker
Based on what he's done. I think you know, maybe that's 10 points because he's getting a bit old, but they're still upside there So if you're if you're ditching a James Jordan this week or a Braden Campbell Then I don't mind just going up to Callen Ward who's a little bit cheaper. So I'm 40 K who's got the dogs
00:40:04
Speaker
With a bit of a grudge match, I think that was his old team, but then he's got Adelaide, Essendon and Richmond who give up plenty of marks. So I really like Callum Ward moving forward too. Like that one. My options here to target, time to target. I had Jack Zebel in there and I know his price is heavy, but we've seen so much already. And just remembering what Luke McDonald did, and I brought him into my team last year, Luke McDonald, when he was running hot. And it was just a weekly,
00:40:31
Speaker
Beautiful score that you get from McDonald every now and then he dropped down but he made up for it the next week with a monster score and I think that's what we're saying from zable you know his his flaws still pretty hot like an 80 or 90 and then he'll go bang and it's when he goes bang that you're just getting a huge advantage over the competition and overall it just levels out.
00:40:52
Speaker
I was looking at what we have available to us. Well, he's actually a forward, which is the biggest thing here. In terms of forwards with 100 plus potential. So there's looking at just the spread of scores across the competition. There's 12 defender eligible players averaging over 100 in their last three. So this is just looking at the last three game sample. There's 26 non-DPP pure midfielders. So we see midfielders again, you know, racking up the hundreds.
00:41:22
Speaker
There's only four forwards in the last three to be averaging over 100, and that's Dunkley, Zorko, Tex, who's dropped off a little bit on the weekend, and then Jack's Evil. So I just think Jack's Evil is providing you heaps of value up forward for his price. So he's my guy to target this week. I also have a defender option that's a little bit cheaper, and that's Luke Ryan.
00:41:44
Speaker
We spoke about Dyson Heppler as well but we've already talked about him. Luke Ryan, Coach Longmuir said in Fremantle's post-match presser that with Griffin Loeg entering the side, did you catch this, Louis? I think I did catch you mention something.
00:41:59
Speaker
Griffin Logge entering the side at freed up Luke Ryan to play more freely and launching attack from defensive 50. So he scored 113 with 21 kicks and 10 marks. We know he's one of these guys that has a bit of a ceiling as well. Bit of a topsy-turvy ride sometimes with Ryan, but if that is something that they're looking to do now, he's 613,000. Great price. So he's a really good price. He's a guy that I'm looking to target right now. Louis, time to sell. Who you got?
00:42:25
Speaker
I've got Jordan Goey and Jordan Clark. I think now's the time to sell just based on basically, we don't know if Clark's going to be back next week and Jordan Goey won't be back next week, but I'm just not buying what he's producing at the moment. So they're my main two to sell. I'm not going to elaborate too much. I think it's pretty obvious why you want to get rid of those two.
00:42:48
Speaker
It's got another option. And it's any of Jordan, Campbell, Gordon, Barry, Warner, all these rookies, they're fat now. So you look at their break evens and yes, they're going to make 10, 15K next week, but you can go early now. So don't be afraid to trade a Chad Warner if it means getting an absolute Uber premium.
00:43:12
Speaker
I recommend probably picking these guys off based on scoring potential. So you might go, okay, bury your first, Campbell's next, Jordan, then Warner, then Gordon opposite. But these guys, I mean, you're not going to get anywhere holding a rookie a week longer.
00:43:29
Speaker
In fact, it's really, I don't know how to say this, you're going to disadvantage yourself not jumping on a, okay, let's go golden to McRae, Jackson McRae this week.
Confidence in Fluctuating Players
00:43:39
Speaker
Jackson? Yeah, Jackson. If you can do it, then do it. You know, this is what I'm saying. So, these guys, they don't, you don't owe them any sort of
00:43:48
Speaker
reason to be in your side basically. I'm really just stumbling over my words here. I understand what you're saying. Basically what I'm saying is don't be afraid to trade these guys early. Even if they're going to get, I traded Jordan last week and I knew I was going to cop a little bit of a cash drop, but I'm trying to get now ahead and try and get a trade ahead up my sleeve. So when other people are trying to get rid of Jordan, I'm trying to get rid of one of my guys that's
00:44:10
Speaker
killing me on the bench like a meek or something like that. I just want to get these guys off. And by getting rid of Jordan last week for Finlay, I'm now trade sort of ahead in that regard. Exactly. And using Callum warden as example before all week, I was seriously considering Jordan up to Ward. That immediately was a 20 point difference. I don't have to worry about whether or not Callum warden could be named next week. Yeah.
00:44:31
Speaker
Makes sense. My one was just Jordy Clark because I think he will get dropped to the twos now after not getting any Ks in the legs in playing as the sub this week. Usually they drop him down for a week and let him have a run. Who do we stay strong with, Louis?
00:44:46
Speaker
Stay strong with. I struggled for this one, Dos, because I like to stay strong with my players. I'll back him in. Oleg Markov was someone that I saw was on the trade table quite a bit last week, which surprised me. I think a couple of 60s does that sometimes. Yeah, it does do it, but he's probably at a price tag where, okay, I can cut this guy's scoring 60s, but
00:45:10
Speaker
What do we see on the weekend? 102 and the suns got torched. How often are the suns going to get torched this year, Doss? Maybe a bit if they don't bring in Brad and Faironea. Historically, the suns just fade out entirely towards the second half of the season.
00:45:27
Speaker
Look, I think Oleg Markov, the foot he's going to be around him. Yeah. He's not someone that you have to trade straight away. So a bit of a piss take on that one, really. I think most people were holding Oleg Markov, certainly after his 102, but just sort of reiterating the fact that, hey, this guy is in a really nice role for the team he's playing. I had Jordan de Goey as my stay strung with. And it's kind of a stupid one, but I think if you've got the luxury, maybe if you don't have the luxury is what I mean.
00:45:56
Speaker
in that if you've got cover or if you think you can fix your team in other ways, I don't know why we'd bother getting rid of a guy that's going to be rookie priced. He's got Gold Coast and North Melbourne when he returns from concussion. And at least we saw him play a little bit midfield, even though he did bang his schnoz and didn't really touch the ball much.
00:46:14
Speaker
I think it's just, it's your theory of last week with Caleb Daniel, you don't lose money on players you don't trade. And that's just where I'm at with Jordan to go. He's done so little for me that I'm like, well, why don't I just treat him like a rookie now? And if he gets his price back and gets up to a 600K again in five weeks, then.
00:46:31
Speaker
I think fixing other areas of my team personally is going to be a bit better in the short term. And I think I said last week, now you've copped it. So you've copped Jordan to go and all these poor scoring. So if I'm looking at the stats, I go, okay, Jordan to go currently averaging less in his debut season.
00:46:50
Speaker
Okay Jordan to go currently averaging over 10 points less than his Best season after his debut season. So this bloke is under priced based on every single data point that we have
00:47:03
Speaker
He is playing terribly, so maybe that's why you get rid of him. But on the contrary, how much worse can he get? I don't know. Maybe he goes to jail. Jesus. All right, we'll get to our listener questions. They're coming up next. We've gone too long, so we'll skip a few segments here.

00:48:12
Speaker
All right, we'll get on to our listener questions now Louie from the Twitter sphere And there's a heap of questions coming through as always. We'll get to as many as we can here This one first from Matt Mottram help. I had Daniel and now Ridley that's
00:48:28
Speaker
That's a rough issue there. Do I hold or use some DPP action to bring in Locky Neil or someone else you'd recommend have to shift Hind back there. But he says he can basically afford Neil or Trillor while holding Ridley. So I'd suggest holding Ridley, wouldn't you? Yeah. Yeah. So what's Daniel got to do with it? Is he? So he was just saying he's annoyed that he had Caleb Daniel last week. No, no, I'd just keep it. Just keep it. Would you bring in Neil or Trillor while holding Ridley?
00:48:57
Speaker
I'd bring in Locky Neil first. Alright, Rowan the Boat wants to know why do I play this game?
00:49:05
Speaker
I don't know. If you figure it out, roll on the boat, tell me, please. We've got a lot of questions I got to get. I got to scroll right to the top here, Lou Dog. So we don't miss too many questions. All right. Soul man. Should we focus on points on the field and upgrade upgrade to fallen premiums or fix up non-playing rookies like Robertson Fullerton? Don't want to fall behind the competition, but also worried about bench cover and cash generation. So it's something we've really touched on the last few weeks, but where do you sit on that?
00:49:34
Speaker
Yeah, so it depends on your position, I think. When I was ranked 700, just a mere two weeks ago, I opted to go the double downgrade, which worked for me. Sorry, I ended up being ranked 700 after that double downgrade, because I was in a good position.
00:49:50
Speaker
This week I did the opposite because I was ranked sort of outside that 3000 and I decided I better go for it and get some points on field. So I think have a look at where you're at in terms of your scoring, not necessarily your ranking. And also if you do have a lot of red dots, I'm talking three, four, five, then yeah, that is the option. You have to fix those.
00:50:14
Speaker
All right, Craig subbed up. Is Scholl still worth trading in at his price? He needs a replacement. No, he's not. Unfortunately, the boat's been missed on Scholl, like I said, at 566K. Doesn't take much to spend up and actually get yourself a keeper. If you think Scholl can be a keeper, go for it.
00:50:32
Speaker
He's just a kilometer machine. He runs all day, he can get out on the wing, get those, check them out. Yeah, I worry that Adlai are probably overperforming at the moment. Yeah, yep, fair. All right, Berkey, is it time to fix rookies or, oh, here we go. I think we've got exactly the same question. Is it time to fix rookies for cover or chase points with premium upgrades, looking at Mitchell, Neil, Gaff, et cetera, versus getting in Locky Jones, Finlay, McCray for the likes of Meek, Robertson, Hymel. So kind of covered that before. Yeah, yep. So yeah, you basically,
00:51:01
Speaker
more than three red dots, I would be looking at fixing up. Mad as Mel. Hey guys, love the show. Thanks Mad as Mel. Is it time for Caleb Sorong to go? What did he do on the weekend, Dos? He's another 70. He's a luxury trade to get rid of, but at his price tag, if you can get rid of him, then yeah, for sure. You can get up to just about anybody. I think he's like an automatic starter next year.
00:51:30
Speaker
or if he gets a bump sometime this year. I don't think you'll get the Tom Graham bump this year. It's round six. Probably a failed pick. Moving on. Yep. Oscar, which rookies need to go first in order. Campbell, Cozzy, Brockman, Jordan, Scott, Hunter, Robertson.
00:51:46
Speaker
Okay, so Hunter won't play. Hunter won't play. Robertson won't play much. Cozy will play, but will only score 40. Campbell's getting tired. We'll only average about maybe 50 to 55 from here. Time to get off him.
00:52:04
Speaker
Who were the other ones? Brockman, Jordan, Scott. Brockman was managed this week. He'll be back next week. I'd hold him. Scott keeps finding a way to stay in the team now that Bally Williams has hurt his collarbone. Looks like he might have that spot still. And Barry? No, Barry wasn't in there. What was the last one? Robertson. No, I already said him. Jordan. Jordan. Yeah, get rid of Jordan.
00:52:29
Speaker
Alright, Timothy J. Duncan or Jared Lyons. Feeling Lyons might be higher average long term. Sorry, what was that? It was Mitch Duncan or Jared Lyons. I think Mitch Duncan's under an injury cloud. I'm still trying to process that last question. I would go Mitch Duncan, I think. I think he's actually under an injury cloud potentially. Just keep an eye on that, Timothy. And if you're already leaning Lyons, maybe that's your answer. Can you go wrong with either? They're both guys that sort of go at 105 plus. Seriously unique.
00:52:57
Speaker
What to say Timothy though if you're feeling lines my average are long term just go to get on that you just got to back yourself in so go lines that's what you think. RJ five Kelly now that they both have Ford status just question mark what do you we've talked about them we we like both options really maybe wait a bit longer on Kelly and you can jump on five now.
00:53:16
Speaker
Yeah, so those guys will automatically just be injected into that top six forward scenario. So yeah, 100% target them over the next few weeks or just throughout the year. Double downgrade this week, Finlay McRae and Bergman to cash up for next week in order to get a Brad Crouch and Neil Trelaugh type. This is from Crafty McBeerface.
00:53:39
Speaker
What's, uh, but the best he can get if he's trading up for a rookie is Ward or Hepple. So would you prefer to wait a week and go to the double downgrade to get the big dog next week? Um, Ward or Hepple this week? I probably would wait, but I don't mind the Hepple option if you think he can be a top six defender.
00:53:59
Speaker
Yeah. They were both in your top five though. So yeah, yeah, it's, it's tricky. Um, I think that it's hard to go wrong with a double downgrade because you're just postponing your problem the next week.
00:54:15
Speaker
in the best way possible. So I think if you're a little bit confused between both scenarios, maybe double downgrade and be a little bit happier with an Uber premium next week. Cameron Mitchell, time to get rid of Campbell from Sydney, Clark and Phillip or focus on bench.
00:54:32
Speaker
No, get rid of them. Yeah using the cash use the cash and get a lot of cash to sit there This will be our last question I think Louie Louie loves getting on the twit to answer the rest if you don't mind Louie Yeah, so any listeners actually at Louie AF on Twitter and I'll be able to get back to it Yeah, I'll get you to trial through these ones and get to the ones we didn't answer as well.
00:54:53
Speaker
Ah,
Patrick Dangerfield: Hold or Trade?
00:54:54
Speaker
Louis. Frio Girl wants to know though, this week I went to the danger zone and found him very underwhelming. Dropped heaps of cash with a high break even. Is his injury likely to be an ongoing issue or will he come good?
00:55:00
Speaker
I
00:55:07
Speaker
Yeah, I actually saw this question. I was going to reply to it. Hold danger. So unless you, I mean, you probably didn't hold him for three weeks. I'm assuming when he was suspended. So that's three trades basically to get it, to get him out, then get him in and then get him out again. You keep danger and just trust that he's going to be 105 averaging forward, which he will be.
00:55:29
Speaker
Perfect. And I'll pass to Louis to go answer those rest of the Twitter questions we didn't get to. I'll make sure he gets to that. Um, cause I'm too lazy myself to do it, but, uh, well you want Louis' advice anyway, don't you? That's what the listeners want. No, not at the moment.
00:55:42
Speaker
All right. Thanks, everyone, for listening. But remember to leave a rating and review as well. Now, we've we said last week we're going for an outrageous tally of 220 ratings. That's the target for the end of May. So we only got a month to get there, Louis. I think we might be in a bit of strife there. But we did manage to get up to the 27 ratings and we got a bunch of reviews as well coming through on the iTunes. So we do appreciate everyone sending those through. So we have said that
00:56:12
Speaker
Those people that leave a rating, but then also leave a review. We wanted them to use the hashtag thirsty for observable thirst. And you go into the running to win a pair of size 11 training worn career savers, Louie. That's huge.
00:56:31
Speaker
We're gonna get we're gonna get me Louie heffin cage from the keeper league To sign them if we if we somehow managed to get to make them game more Game one. I'm making game. They're too big for me. That's the whole point. I Can't wear him in a game. She might be able to squeeze in you reckon you'll be able to squeeze in What size are they? Size 11? Size 14?
00:56:53
Speaker
Lou Dog. Jesus, big boots there for Lou Dog. The reason we're doing 220, that's how much money I wasted on getting the wrong size shoe, for those that don't know.
Closing and Listener Reminders
00:57:04
Speaker
But if we managed to get there, otherwise I might just start. If we don't get 220 by the end of May, I might try and get a bit of resale on those. But if we do, then we'll be giving them away to one lucky listener. So get those reviews coming in. This one comes from
00:57:18
Speaker
Captain Fantasy. He says top stuff like Russell Coit there. Love the synth wave theme song. Great name for the show. Keep up the great hashtag Pod Pod. That's from Captain Fantasy. A little bit of a dog barking from Baz. There you go. Barry from Big Baz. This one from
00:57:36
Speaker
culprit 381 fantasy gold. Love your work boys. Very enjoyable listening. This one from a mobile troll. He loves the show. She says pod pod pod nasty pod hashtag thirsty. So there's just a handful of reviews. We'll get to a few more in the coming weeks, but thanks everyone for listening. I hope you enjoying the show and we'll see you next week. See you later guys.
