Introduction & Co-Hosts
00:00:19
Speaker
Good day and welcome to the Pod Pod. It's Holmesy here talking all things AFL fantasy classic live for your Wednesday night, this 27th of March. No FOSS on deck tonight. Unfortunately, the big fella still away working, but we are hopeful that we will get him back on deck in the next week or two. But we will have a little bit of a FOSS update a little bit later on just so the listeners can see how he started the season.
00:00:44
Speaker
As it has been for the last few weeks at least, we do have Louis and Hami here. I'll start with you, Louis. How are you, mate? We've had a bit of a rough couple of weeks with your injury and whatnot, but how's life treating you and how's the footy? Yeah, not bad, mate. Yeah, I suppose the plus side of what I've got going on means I can sit on the couch and watch plenty of footy, pretty guilt-free.
00:01:08
Speaker
I've been enjoying that, wish it sort of reflected in my fantasy scoring but hopefully that comes in the next couple of weeks.
00:01:15
Speaker
Yeah, mate, it's a trading game. And like I said to you pre-pod, we'll get to your rankings soon, but that's exactly where I was last year. And the messaging from you was that you're a very good coach and you can trade yourself back into it. So I have those exact same
Weekend Footy & Fantasy Updates
00:01:28
Speaker
words for you, mate. Just need to stick with it and it'll all come good. And we have two time top 10 finisher, including, what was it, runner up, Hami? How are you? Yeah, runner up in
00:01:42
Speaker
I'm going pretty well, thanks mate. Just caught a little bit of the footy on the weekend. It's some good games actually, so keen to talk some fantasy.
00:01:54
Speaker
Yeah, it was good for me, actually, as well. The wife and the kids went down south and I used the opportunity to actually watch a bit of footy. So I generally get to watch a little bit a lot on replay, but it was good to actually sit down and watch a lot live, which hasn't happened a lot recently. So let's get stuck into the round that was. We'll go through our our ranks and and give a little bit of a bit of an update for our plus threes and negative threes. And I'll throw to you first, Lou. We're about to you sitting at the moment and what we have plus three and negative three.
00:02:23
Speaker
Yeah, throughout a tweet during the week that it's going to be tough to replace Dossy, but certainly stepped up to the plate. I'm at 43,170 and going strong, thank you very much. That was off the back of a 1767, so hopefully we can pump those numbers up a bit.
00:02:45
Speaker
In best 18, those scores always suck, don't they? It's really disgusting not to see a two in front of your score, but what, three more rounds of best 18, then we can start getting into its best 22. Yeah, beautiful, mate. And how about giving us those plus three and negative threes? I'll give my plus three to Isaac Heaney. He's done it a couple of games in a row now. He looks phenomenal in that midfield. So I've got to pay respect there. My negative three goes to Nick Daikos.
00:03:14
Speaker
as just putrid score 61 from a bloke that you played nearly a mil for. So yeah, rightfully gets that negative three for me. Yeah, and fair enough. We might actually deep dive in our hot topics a little bit later on with the Nick Daikos. It's a bit of a bit of talk in the community about where you go this week. I think some are going to hold strong, but rightly so, considering that there's a potential fin tag coming up soon, some coaches are looking to jump off.
00:03:42
Speaker
Hami, how about you? Yeah, didn't have too bad a week, mate. I had a score of 1.859, so probably a little bit above average because I think my rank went up to 13,027, so heading in the right direction, hopefully.
00:04:00
Speaker
A plus three, geez, I might throw it to, well, there's a couple of guys that have performed pretty well there based on their price, but I guess I'll give it a cherry. 104 on debut, priced at 677. So that was pretty good. I was happy with that. Trade in and then negative three.
00:04:24
Speaker
I'm going to give it to my lowest scoring player in the 18, which was Nat 5, getting a rub on the back and then just sitting it out as the sub. That was a bit disappointing to see. He was headed for another score over 80, so that was a bit of a letdown from him and Freo. Does that early sub
00:04:45
Speaker
sort of change your plans and your thoughts with him, Hami, knowing that that sub can always be around the corner and they're already talking about him having to manage a back injury?
Housekeeping & Pod Challenge
00:04:54
Speaker
You know, I was less concerned about that in best 18. So I'm probably just going to hold this week and see what happens, mate, because, you know, I guess if there is a sub risk, then I've potentially got somebody else coming on board and not going to lose too many points from it if he does get subbed out. So I'm feeling okay about it.
00:05:14
Speaker
Yeah, you just hope that it doesn't happen. Round four, gather around when we've got 22 players on field. But yeah, unlucky with that. He's been a pretty good pick so far. And as a Dockers man myself, I hope that he's needed for a couple of full games soon. So my score this week, a bit like Yuhami, 18.55. So just the four points behind you, but that saw me rise about seven, 8,000 ranks up into 10.164. So just outside 10K, which
00:05:42
Speaker
isn't the worst spot to be at this time of year. I think, especially with this round coming up with a lot of teams going to be missing a Tom Green, Whitfield, Flanders, potentially even a Tookmiller type, then potentially there's room for us to kind of claw a few points back there. And my plus three, and he goes to my trade-in as well, Harry Schiezel. So I went onto the Schiez this week after watching him the week before. And
00:06:06
Speaker
Yeah, 121 on debut in that game was a very good trade in and I was pretty happy to get that score. My negative three unfortunately goes to one of my Dockers boys, Hayden Young. Like Yuhami, I wanted to give it to one of my lowest scores that actually made my 18 and it didn't really feel fair to give it to Jeremy Sharp who put up a very respectable 73 from the rookie. So Hayden Young,
00:06:28
Speaker
75. I've seen a lot of coaches talking about getting off him this week, which to be honest might be fair, but I think I'm still in the camp of holding. It was only last week where he was on 88 just after three-quarter time before he needed to move back. So I'm happy to give him
Debate: Trade or Hold Nick Daikos?
00:06:43
Speaker
one more and hopefully this week there's talk of him needing to tag Jordan Dawson, which hopefully means there's going to be a lot of tackles on offer and that can boost his scoring. But absolutely, he's on notice at the moment.
00:06:55
Speaker
Louis, I'm going to throw to you for one of our new segments. We've got Doss Watch. So why don't you give us an update on where our Dossie boy is sitting at the moment. Yeah. So Dossie scored the 1,753. So I did pick him at the post there, which is nice to see, but his rank is 38,330. So definitely Doss areas there. Wouldn't expect anything less from the great men.
00:07:23
Speaker
Yeah, I suppose it's public knowledge now that he's jumped across to Supercoach and we're a bit filthy, but to be honest, it's kind of a positive thing because there's actually more teams and more players that play Supercoach. There's even scope for his ranking to get even worse over there. So we should probably get a Supercoach update from him at some point. But, Hami, why don't you give us Foswatch as well? Why don't you let us know how Stado started the year?
00:07:46
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, no, we're making Stadeau great again. 1-8-7-9. So he's in a pretty decent round and his rank is 11-3-3-3. So, well, it sounds like he's in between you and I, Holmsey. So not too bad, though. Pretty respectable. And he's negative three. I'd have to give it to Vaini, I reckon. 60 for somebody who would have thought was heading in premium directions. Would have been a bit of a letdown for the FOS.
00:08:17
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know if you guys caught much of that game, but with the way Hawthorne were possessing the ball early, there was really no ball for any of those Melbourne sides. They were just getting the ball and running it forward and kicking goal. So yeah, 60 for Vaini. No, I didn't see that kind of a score coming, but we do know that he's had a bit of a flaw over the years.
Post-Bye Targets Discussion
00:08:35
Speaker
is what it is. All right, so before we get on, we've just got a few housekeeping things we're going to get to and I'm just going to give an update of the Pod Pod Challenge. We were going to do it last year, last week, sorry, but we thought we'd give it another round just to let the scores kind of even out a little bit. So currently, we have three teams inside of the top 100. So we've got Jack's team not here to ruck spiders currently sitting fourth. So that's an unbelievable start.
00:09:00
Speaker
We've got, I think it's Rod's team. What's that? Ace Deplar currently seeing 15. So very good as well. And then Jared's team, Jordan Dawson's Creek sitting 58. So three teams inside the top 100 so far. And I have no doubt that that's going to increase as the season goes on. So we're hoping to beat, I think it was 23 that we ended up with last year. So fingers crossed we can go one better.
00:09:22
Speaker
But I'm going to throw to you, Hami, now that I know how much you enjoy giving the Content Creators Cup update. So how did the Pod Pod boys fair this week in the Content Creators Cup?
00:09:33
Speaker
Yeah, thanks, mate. And now I'm in the Content Creators Cup. I'm even more excited if that's possible. So, yeah, the Content Creators Cup, the Fantasy Finance Boys, Bails and Guestie have organized that and sponsored by Infinite Wealth. We had a 50% strike rate. So, Holmes, I got a win over
00:09:53
Speaker
Calvin from Traders by 32 points and you got the win over MJ from coaches panel by
Preparing for Gather Around
00:09:59
Speaker
65 so a fair win there but unfortunately the ball boys so Luke and Mitch from the ball boys had knocked over Lew and Stado this week which geez
00:10:12
Speaker
Mitch must have got a fair old score because Stados was 1.879, so he's got to be up around 1,900, which is pretty good for the round. So there we are. Consider yourself updated, Holmesy, but you and I just propping up the team at the minute. I tell you what, it was good to get a win this week after I got pipped by Heff last week by one point, and that was off the back of the Sorong 160. So, yeah, it was good to get a win on the board.
00:10:40
Speaker
All right, lads, let's get into the hot topics. We've got a little bit to talk about before we get to a bit of a player segment and then the listener question. So the first hot topic, I touched off the top, but Nick Daikos. So I'm going to get Louie's opinion as an owner, and then I'm going to get Harmony's opinion as a non-owner. So,
00:10:58
Speaker
What are you thinking at the moment with Nick Dacos now that he's put that score on the board? He's essentially dropped back. I think he's very close to what he started at. Maybe just slightly, slightly more. Is it just as simple as hold him and getting through to his bye or can some savvy coaches look to jump off him knowing that he's got Brisbane this week that may or may not be a tough matchup, but then more than likely he's going into Finn McGinnis before his bye.
00:11:24
Speaker
I tend to think it's a hold. We sort of knew what we were signing up for for Nick Daikos and we knew that tag was coming.
Player Desirability: Trade or Keep?
00:11:32
Speaker
We decided to start him anyway. He's 20k down on his starting price. He's got a 140 break even.
00:11:41
Speaker
you know is is every chance that he actually makes that score and I tend to think if you are trading out of Nick Dacos obviously you're gonna want him back in your side at some point so you're using two trades to do it and there's every chance that's actually four if you can't really get him on the other end a little bit later on in the season so I think that's something that you do just have to wear and
00:12:02
Speaker
Maybe your advantage now comes from owning him with a trade in the pocket despite other coaches being able to pick him up a little bit cheaper. But even at that point, I don't think he's going to plummet much past 900K. I think he will stay pretty firmly at about 950K. So, yeah, there's going to be coaches still sort of digging into the pockets to go and get him. Hami, as a non-owner who doesn't have any kind of emotional investment at the moment, do you have a differing opinion or do you echo Lou's thoughts there?
00:12:34
Speaker
No, I probably echo Lou's thoughts. If I was an owner, I think I'd be holding. Put it that way. I mean, I think Lou said the break even was 140. Well, he can hit that. So I wouldn't be too stressed about that. He is playing. You would have been counting him as a premium scorer in this buy-around. And if you're anything like me, you've got other issues to patch up. So I've got Nick Coffield.
00:12:59
Speaker
injured Sexton a bit of a concern and look really any rookies that you have missed still worth a shot so I'd say trading him out would be a fairly low priority for owners.
00:13:13
Speaker
Yeah, I think he nailed it there. I think majority of teams are going to have higher priorities with those players or getting on those rookies that have popped all those mid prices that have good roles and good upside as well.
Jack Steele & Zack Butters Analysis
00:13:25
Speaker
So it would be a very luxurious move. But at the same time, to win and do well in this comp, it does take balls at times. And if he does come out and has another average score this week into an average score against Finn, then that price could seriously plummet. But I think I'm in the same boat I'd be holding as well.
00:13:42
Speaker
To be honest, he's probably a good VC option off what he did last week. I can't imagine he's had a good week on the track and probably comes out pretty hungry. The next sort of hot topic we want to just gloss over is the fact that Carlton and Brisbane are coming off the bar. So I'll go to you first, Louis. Are there any sort of players from either of these teams that you'd be looking to target or you've got on your watch list coming into the next few rounds?
00:14:06
Speaker
Off the top of the head, probably just Josh Dunkley, I think, with those two teams. Been 110 averaging midfielder for a couple of years now and will be relatively unique as well, I imagine. So he's probably the main one. Anybody else in those two teams that you're rowing off there, Holmsey?
00:14:27
Speaker
No, I think Dunkley is the one I said in the preseason that he probably would have been a player that I might have even looked to start being a little bit underpriced. But unfortunately, he had his buy. But he's come out. What's the averaging? 114, 115 at the moment. Yes, there was no Locky Neal last week and he went 125. So maybe that's a little bit overs.
00:14:48
Speaker
Yeah, I think Brisbane are pretty weak in that midfield and they're going to have to do something and he's going to have to be a big part of that. But we did say last year that the brand of footy that they played wasn't necessarily conducive to fantasy scoring
Trade Value of Key Players
00:14:59
Speaker
at times. And that sort of coincided with his drop off in form towards the end of the year, albeit coming back off a bit of an injury loop.
00:15:06
Speaker
A bit out of left field, this one, but obviously Brisbane have had a bit of a poorer start. It's going to be a risk, but do we just have a fleeting look at somebody like a Dane Zorko? Obviously, he's a bit prehistoric at his age. I think he's about 35, but he can go at 100 clip pretty comfortably, even still, and plays a pretty significant role in that side.
00:15:30
Speaker
I imagine he's going to be one of those senior players that Fags does sort of lean upon to get them back into contention this early on. Is that a little sneaky pod for the pod pod that one? That it's definitely, definitely a pod, especially there's been a little bit of word and I'm not sure exactly how much I trust it. We need to say it first, but there, there is talk that potentially he might be one of those players that ends up in the back line to give them a bit of good ball use off the back now that Coleman's out.
00:15:59
Speaker
So maybe if that switches, you never know. We saw that a few years ago when he had the defender status and he had a serious ceiling when he when he was in that role before. But the same injury concerns are always there with the Danes Orko kind of mirrors in that fight where potentially if they're up by a certain amount, then he could get subbed, which would be a bit of a disaster as a as a premium. But I don't hate the idea. Lou, Hami, what have you got?
00:16:23
Speaker
I was just going to say a couple of the cheaper guys, um, homesy that I would flag is if people don't have Zach Williams, I probably wouldn't have any trouble bringing him in at 486,000. I think he still got upside. And another one that I think is worth a bit of a look is Jack Carroll, 375,000.
00:16:42
Speaker
and I think he started as a sub in the first game didn't he went really well and he scored pretty well in his second game so if people are looking to pay up for a rookie he's probably worth just having a look at when the teams are named. Yep don't mind that one Hami although he's a little bit of an elevated price tag now.
00:17:02
Speaker
word is Sam Walsh looking at around five slash round six return so you might get three four games out of him in this role then it might switch up and to be honest that might be enough to get him up to five five fifty if he continues this scoring so I don't hate that option either.
00:17:18
Speaker
The last sort of hot topic that I want to touch on and Hamia I'll throw to you because you sort of suggested it. So there's been all this talk about best 18 and needing these ceiling players and whatnot to score in a best 18 system. But our coaches kind of forgetting that there is still next round, gather round, which is going to be full 22 on field. And could coaches potentially find themselves a little bit exposed if they go a little bit too guns and rookies heavy, knowing that they're going to need 22 players next week?
00:17:50
Speaker
Yeah, well, that's right. I mean, the trades that you do this week and then looking ahead to the trades for next week have got to set you up for a best 22 structure and make sure you've got your positioning correct. So I'll give you an example. I sort of said before that I've got Coffield and he's a priority trader out for me now going in for surgery. I was floating around a range of different options, but I think what I'm going to do is try and correct it and get him up to Massimo.
00:18:19
Speaker
And then I can bring on another rookie in either my midfield and have three rookies on field or either that or two rookies in my forward line being Reid and Wilson. So, yeah, I guess I'm just trying to shore up what my team structure is going to look like for next week when we resume Best 22 for Gather Around.
00:18:43
Speaker
Yeah, I really like that and it's a good point on Coffield. I can't remember exactly who it was last year, but I think I had one or two players that were in the same boat. They were rookies and admittedly, they weren't as highly priced as Coffield was. They might have been sort of 250 to 270K, but
00:18:59
Speaker
You just, you kind of get caught in a trap where you say, oh, I'll fix them next week. I'll fix them next week. And then all of a sudden it's round six or round seven. And you kind of find yourself in a little bit of no man's land with your cash gen because you haven't bit the bullet and got them out. So I think that's really
Listener Questions: Player Roles & Scores
00:19:14
Speaker
important that if you do have a Nick Caufield, he's almost the most important priority this week to get him up to a Massimo or Powell or whatever you can get.
00:19:22
Speaker
just so that you get that cash gen continuing to flow because the teams that don't have him that are on their way, you're just going to get further behind if you don't fix that cash gen. Would you agree there, Luke? Yep, absolutely, mate.
00:19:33
Speaker
Yeah, beautiful. All right, so what we're going to do now, we're going to get into the questions a bit later on, but before we do that, we're going to do a little bit of a segment steal. Dossi kind of did this when he was on Pod Pod. We're going to take the like or dislike from our friends over at the Plus Six podcast. So we've got a whole bunch of players that we're going to
00:19:53
Speaker
talk about. And some will gloss over pretty quick, but some others will deep dive a little bit more. So I'll start with you, Hami. Caleb Sorong, clearly it's a like, but being priced at, what, 1.05 mil, is he someone you can still target or do you think coaches like us that don't have him have kind of missed the boat? Yeah, I mean, it's sort of similar to the starting structure, isn't it? You're not chasing the highest price player in the comp, so for me, I wouldn't be looking at chasing him at this point.
00:20:24
Speaker
What about owners that might be looking to sideways in from a Tom Green? So you're not actually spending too much cash and you're essentially keeping the same structure, but just jumping across.
00:20:33
Speaker
It means you're then choosing not to have Tom Green for a while because he's not going to bring him back next week. People with Tom Green should have been thinking about that from the start. I don't really love it, but if that's all you've got to do for the week and the only issue you've got, you could do it, I suppose. I think that there's rookies and mid prices you should be looking to bring in before you chase something like that.
00:21:01
Speaker
Louis, Zach Merritt, off back to back 120s. Definitely the mainstay in that midfield and looking pretty good, like or dislike? Yeah, love Zach Merritt. He's been a perennial 110 plus player for God knows how long now and he's got the Saints matchup this week. Doesn't have that buy to worry about either and it's very much his midfield at the moment, especially with Darcy Parrish under an injury cloud at the moment. So a big tick there.
00:21:29
Speaker
What about big trading options, Windy? Going to go in, tag him there this workload. Wouldn't be concerned.
00:21:41
Speaker
Potentially they give him a little bit of attention. I think that's a pretty winnable game for the Saints. I'm not sure if they go full lockdown mode on Zach Merritt. I'm not sure he's the one that's dragging the bombers over the line each and every week. There is a slight flag there, but I think Zach Merritt is someone from a seasonal aspect that you're not going to be too flat about. He's someone I'm pretty confident can go at 110 at a minimum.
00:22:09
Speaker
Just on that windy tag harmony, I actually didn't really see that as much of a tag last week against Dakos. He did go to him at stoppages at times, but it seemed more like it was just the St Kilda midfield just playing a very disciplined system in transition. It wasn't just windy, he had to go to him. I saw Seb Ross pushing across and then it was steel.
00:22:28
Speaker
I think we might just be looking at St Kilda just being a very disciplined side and being hard to score on, I think. But yeah, maybe, maybe it is a bit of a flag. Sticking with Yuhami, so Nassau Wangani-Millera off the back of his 122, coaches that might be potentially looking to get off Whitfield just because they've made their cash and they need
Trade Strategies & Impact
00:22:46
Speaker
to keep scoring. Is he someone you'd look at or priced at, I think, 95-ish? Is he someone that potentially is getting close to his price and we can get later? Jeez.
00:22:58
Speaker
Can't really sit on the fence, can you? Oh, look, I'm going to say, I say like, I mean, he looked bloody good and he scored 120, didn't he? So I guess if I had to make a choice, it's a like, yeah. Yep, like that. Louis sticking with his St Kilda teammate, Jack Steele. So 108, 120, looks to be back to his fittest best, but not saying he's going to go 120, but do you think there's still scope to trade in Jack Steele?
00:23:23
Speaker
Yeah, I think there is, you know, 900K is obviously going to be value there, but I've still got the same concerns over Jack Still. I said in the, in the pre-season, I don't think he necessarily needs to be the one that spreads in and the one that is, um, is kicking the footy too much. And that sort of showed on the weekend, everyone was wetting their pants a bit about Jack Still's scoring and look rightfully so at halftime, he was on about 60, but
00:23:49
Speaker
That was established by tackle floor, which we know happens with Jack Steele. I still worry about how he builds his score though. So he had three kicks up until three quarter time and then filled up with seven kicks in the last quarter. You could look at it one way and think maybe that could have been an astronomical score, but I do sort of, I read into that a little bit. I think that's a bit of game style and he's doing the coalface work. And then he was able to sort of do a little bit of that chip chip in the last quarter when there were
00:24:19
Speaker
when they were on their toes and up and about beating Collingwood by a fair margin in the end there. So, yeah, it's still got minor flags with him, but I think at the price point, you're still gonna get value there.
00:24:31
Speaker
Okay. Then I'll stick with you for one of your port boys priced around the same. They might not be exact, but Zack Butters. So two, two pretty good games now. Uh, he was on what I think it was 104 at three-quarter time, played a very, very good game against Richmond before copying that little bit of a court calf towards the end of the game and only having 12 points in the last. Would you rather a Zack Butters over a Jack Steele? Yes, yes, I would. Uh, I think Butters has got that go about him where he can really get onto a ceiling and
00:25:01
Speaker
I don't know if it's just biasedness, but I think that he fills up the stat lines a little bit better and does show that ability to really spread. I think he averaged something like 17 uncontested disposals last year off the top of my head, which is quite impressive for a player that we sort of pigeonholed as being that in and under sort of goer in that midfield. So yeah, I'm big on Zack Butters and that 117 came off the back of one tackle. So.
00:25:28
Speaker
I do have to think there's a little bit of upside there. And just because you're the port man, how many games do they have in a row at Adelaide Oval to come? Well, I think it's, I think it might be like nine sort of pre-midseason buy. So yeah, it's plenty.
00:25:44
Speaker
And we know that he loves to score Adelaide Oval in front of his home fans. Hami, now, I think you brought him in round two, but you didn't start him. Isaac Heaney, I was on record last week saying that it still wasn't too late and he's gone out and done that. But is it too late for coaches now, knowing that he's priced pretty highly and he's got a buy coming up in two rounds?
Listener Trade Scenarios & Evaluations
00:26:05
Speaker
Yeah, look.
00:26:07
Speaker
I guess I'm less keen on him, but he's still got almost 120 again. So he's just about the form player in the competition at the moment, and he's not priced over a meal like so wrong, is he? So I'd say like, I mean, he's got that buy coming up, but what's not to like about what he's doing on the field?
00:26:32
Speaker
Not to mention he's got Richmond and West coast coming up in his next two games, which are two of the softest fantasy scoring match ups that you could really have. So I'm not against it. Um, you've taken him on this far, but he just keeps getting it done.
00:26:46
Speaker
And I can't see anything in that midfield changing at the moment. It kind of just those players start and have those seasons where they just keep on going in there. They're in their career best form and that wreaks of Isaac Heaney at the moment. So let's have a look at it. He's priced at $8.61. Merritt and Sorong Green, we've spoken about all of them. They're all over a meal. So he's like $150,000 cheaper than all of them.
00:27:11
Speaker
in the forward line when we're starved of premium options as well. So yeah, I would tick off anyone going Isaac Heaney at this point, but just be aware that coaches that got on earlier are well ahead with the cash gen and the scoring, but yeah, fantastic player and in some good form.
00:27:29
Speaker
Back to you, Lou, we'll skip this next one, but Connor Rosie, so currently averaging 112, got him at a 106 price tag. I suppose the question we need to ask you is, do you see him as a top eight mid from this point or do you think he's pretty much priced at what he's going to be at for the rest of the year?
00:27:46
Speaker
Uh, no, I do see him as top eight mid. I've been pretty firm on that all preseason. He's a player that does feel all the stat lines and he's stepped up in the first two games as captain of the footy club too. Um, captain option makes him important and he's still probably value. Uh, if you consider that he is going to go at that sort of 112 plus mark, which I've got him pegged at.
00:28:09
Speaker
He's a player that just builds his score really consistently through a range of different avenues. So I think he will be top eight.
00:28:18
Speaker
Yeah, I really like the pick. There's been two games in a row now where he's had a, I think he was on 70 at halftime in round one. And then even on the weekend, he was on 68 and he hasn't really put that massive score on, on owners heads yet. But, um, I think it's going to come in with a few of these home games that had laid over as the captain. I think he's primed to really break out. So yeah, like the Connor Rosie pick.
00:28:40
Speaker
Hami, Tom Stewart for owners looking to jump off Whitfield. What are your thoughts on Tom Stewart? He had 1.15 on the weekend, but that was off the back of 10 intercept marks and that's not going to happen every week. But where do you say Tom Stewart in terms of being a top six defender?
00:28:56
Speaker
Yeah. And in a milestone game as well, he had 85 in the first round. So what's he averaging? A hundred priced at just just under a hundred, I think. So he's got a good run as well. They have a good start to the seasons along with the teams that they play against. But I'm just going to say dislike as a trading option. Just at this point in time, you'd be getting what you pay for. And I think you've got to be looking for a bit more value if you can.
00:29:23
Speaker
Yeah, I think Hawthorne would be pretty stupid to not put someone to him this week. I know Adelaide tried at times, but it's pretty obvious that when Geelong are up and about and playing their best footy that Stewart's probably the number one guy there in controlling everything in that back half. And when you can disrupt him, it disrupts their system. So if you did go in this week, just prepare that, you know, maybe they do throw off in beginners to him. He's done that sort of role in the past as just a body that's going to follow him around and not let him dictate.
00:29:50
Speaker
I think it's Tom Stewart, he's done it for five years. I think he'll be around the mark. I just don't think there's heaps of value at this point in time. Lou, Tom Powell, you talked to us about Tom Powell because you were very active in the group chat after Tom Powell's game. You said you really liked it and you couldn't not like it. Do we think that role sticks?
00:30:10
Speaker
Yeah, I don't have to think so. I was the leading CBA getter for North Melbourne
Closing Thoughts & Strategic Planning
00:30:15
Speaker
on the weekend. We know Tom Powell was a pretty prolific junior. He's probably one that's burned a couple of coaches, certainly in keeper and in drafts, just because it has taken a little while for him to come on, for him to get that role. We do sort of know that Clarko likes him and that looks to be the case in the first two games this year.
00:30:35
Speaker
Really like the fact that he went at an 86% disposal efficiency despite having the 29 touches. That's really good sign to me that he's using it well. Eight clearances, fantastic there. 10 score involvements, beautiful and 500 meters gained. Sort of concerned that it was such an open game and so he did fill up on a lot of contested pill over a third of his
00:31:00
Speaker
of his ball was uncontested so 20 uncontested touches so it wasn't getting too much contested stuff but that's more LDU's bread and butter you would have thought a little bit of a concern on a bigger ground where it's a bit more open but I think at the price point with the break even it's a pretty low risk play there and with the sort of quality of forwards we've got around him he's one that I'd be strongly looking at
00:31:26
Speaker
Lou, would you be concerned about Jai Simpkin coming back into the midfield this weekday? No, not particularly. I think Jai Simpkin's sort of been shifted out in favour of a Tom Powell and that's why potentially he didn't really fire off in that pre-season game or even sort of went quiet when Jai Simpkin went off with that concussion. In fact, I think
00:31:50
Speaker
He's a pivotal cog within that team, Joe Simpkin, but I think him playing at half-four is important for their makeup within their midfield. Yeah. Just one more point on Tom Powell. 85% time on ground, which is up there with the best for midfielders. So it shows, at least at the moment, that he's got the tank to be in there. And at 580K in the forward line, I think coaches would be silly not to at least entertain the idea of bringing in Tom Powell.
00:32:17
Speaker
Hami, this one hurts because he sat in my team for 95% of the pre-season despite you telling me he played sample all year. But Matt Crouch, is it too late to go to Matt Crouch after two games averaging 110? We should be listening to a few more things I say, Hamzy, because I started with him and he's one of my best players. So definitely a like. Yeah, can coaches still bring him in? Well, let's have a look. He is now priced at 7.91.
00:32:46
Speaker
But he's hit 110, two weeks in a row. Yeah, he's hit 110, two weeks in a row. So, look, you've got to have it. I feel like that mix in the Adelaide Crows team is changing a bit, but for the time being, I'm a very happy owner and you could bring him in.
00:33:06
Speaker
Yep. Luke. Yeah. I've not really changed my thoughts on Matt Crouch. I think he does have that propensity to score, but at the same time, he just needs to do so bloody much to do it. He got 110. He had 37 disposals, 13 kicks, 24 handballs, which, uh, you know, that's all well and good. Uh, it's sort of expecting a bit more of a ceiling there, 280 meters gain.
00:33:30
Speaker
And then all week we hear about how within that crow's midfield it didn't work. They're a bit vanilla, they're one-paced and they need something more in there. So to me, unless Rory Ladd's being shifted out, which there was a couple of rumours that that would happen in the pre-season, Matt Crouch potentially is one of those guys, I'm sort of thinking maybe the boat's been missed there. And looking at the other end, I wouldn't be surprised to see a bloke like an Isaac Rankin or Josh Richelli jump in there this week.
00:33:58
Speaker
We said that all along though, hey, didn't we? The thing is with Crouch, he doesn't really have a secondary position. He's not going to be sitting on the back flank or the wing. I don't know how much of a forward he is. If he's not on ball, I don't know if he's in the team. I think that he's proven himself to do what the coaches want. I think he's in there for a good few weeks yet.
00:34:25
Speaker
Yeah, it's interesting. I'm not sure I'd be trading into him just yet, just now, but definitely coaches that started him keep writing that good thing for as long as you can. All right, we'll do three more names before we jump on to the Twitter questions, Louis.
00:34:41
Speaker
Luke Jackson. So we knew, well, we kind of forecasted what would happen without Darcy with his scoring history and he's come out 95 in round one and a 108 in round two. Seems like he's taking all of his opportunities and to be honest, he had a pretty tough matchup against Big O in round one and even Cherry's no slouch in terms of the hit outs and stuff around the ground.
00:35:04
Speaker
Is it too late to target a Luke Jackson now with Darcy potentially being two to three weeks away or can you see potentially Freo still wanting him to be up around the ball as a bit more of a dynamic midfielder at times too? No, I think you've missed him. I think the decision had to be made prior to round one. It's just less weeks now until Sean Darcy is back and we know Sean Darcy is going to be
00:35:27
Speaker
taking the lion's share of those rut contests when he does return. So well done to those who picked him, but anybody eyeing him off, I'd probably just let that one go through to the keeper and just, uh, sort of, uh, those, those Luke Jackson owners, they're going to have to be trading him sort of come around six, seven or eight. And, uh, otherwise they're going to be losing points. So I think you can make it up the difference there.
00:35:51
Speaker
Yeah, don't mind that at all, Luke. But you are right. Owners that got on him have been rewarded so far. And who knows, maybe the Darcy injury will stretch out a little longer and potentially you get a little bit of coverage for a Grundy or a Gorn during the buys. But yeah, probably not trading into him.
00:36:06
Speaker
this time. Hami, one for you, Christian Salem. So averaging 96 saved his last two scores with a filthy 61 point final quarter. I think he was on 19 at halftime and that was probably one of the toughest watches I've ever had to ever had to do. But do coaches look to get off Christian Salem now with that midfield role gone or do they pretty much just have to line their bed and continue riding it until his bye?
00:36:31
Speaker
It depends what other issues they've got. If I was an owner, I'll probably hold right now, but I'd be looking to get off as soon as I can, soon as the opportunity arose. Yeah, well, I am an owner and I've got coffee to fix, but that's one of the moves I'm looking at in terms of going a Salem down to free up some cash to then get a coffee up to someone else as well. So it's definitely something I'm looking at, but it will be dictated by selection and also by what other issues coaches have
00:37:01
Speaker
Last one for you, Louie, before we get onto the questions, Marcus Bontempelli. So coaches paid up a $1.19 price tag over a million dollars to start. And he's basically done what he did last year in terms of started with a 90 and a low ton. Has the Eagles this week, but I wouldn't be really advising coaches to jump off. But is it potentially someone to target knowing that he's dropped 50K and he's got a few lush match ups to come?
00:37:26
Speaker
Yeah, I think so. It really starts here for Marcus Bontempelli in terms of his matchup. So I'll bring them up in just a sec. But I think the fact that last season he averaged 117 and that included a couple of nineties to start to be seen as a good thing in that he can turn it around and get that ceiling up and start scoring for you.
00:37:47
Speaker
The next couple of match up, he's got the Eagles, Geelong, Essendon, Saints, Fremantle, Hawthorne, Richmond. So really opens up for him now. We know what sort of a ceiling he's got from last season, but also from this season too. He started round one like a house on fire and looked to be going sort of 150 areas. And even last week he started really well and got a bit of an ankle tweak, which slowed him down a bit. So yeah, big fan of Marcus Bontempelli. I think he's a
00:38:15
Speaker
He's a great target and he's a good captain option. Clearly we're speculating, but is that little ankle knock a bit of a concern if they're, well not if, but when they're up heavily against the Eagles midway through the third quarter, is he potentially a sub out to save his legs? Oh look, potentially mate, but that's all guesswork. We know that they give him a bit of a jab and they sort of get up and going. That was kind of the narrative with the Zach Butters too. They've played West Coast and Richmond and
00:38:44
Speaker
I suppose he did spend a bit of time on the bench, Saki Butters, but no, I think Marcus Bontempelli is there, Rolls Royce, and he'll stay out there as a tough bugger.
00:38:55
Speaker
Yeah, fair enough to. And yeah, if I had the coin and no other issues, Marcus Bontapelli is someone I'd look to target. There's no reason that he won't actually hit his break even this week against the Eagles with a monster score. And we might actually be looking at the cheapest price point that we can get him this year if he goes on a tear like he did last year. So definitely one to watch.
00:39:15
Speaker
All right, let's finish off with some of these questions. This first one comes from NinjaSpoon. I'm going to throw to you, Hami. So he's got Grundy. Is there still scope to go Grundy to Cherry this week? Or do you think with the round four or the round three and the round four match ups being, uh, I think he's got Nank this week and then he's got the Eagles next week. Do you think you wait till round five and then potentially get him up to Marshall or English? All right, Grundy.
00:39:40
Speaker
$722,000 not going up. Cherry, $677,000 going up in price. So if he doesn't do that move and he waits, he's actually going to cost him money to buy cherry from Grundy. So I think it's probably still a reasonable move. Yeah, I think what he's saying is he either pulls the trade now or he doesn't pull the trade and then he waits until round five and Grundy's on his buy and then he goes up to a Marsh or an English.
00:40:10
Speaker
Yes, I probably wouldn't. It depends what else he's got on the go, but I wouldn't have any trouble bringing him in now because you're going to miss two weeks of price rises from Cherry. Yep, fair enough. Lou, this next one's for you. This one comes from Nick. Do you think Flanders is a must get straight off his buy or do you think, and now we're just speculating here, but is it worth jumping on a Jack McRae this week being a bit of a unique given the strong VFL form?
00:40:40
Speaker
Oh, look, I don't think Flanders is necessarily a must have, but he's certainly be pretty high up the list in terms of priorities. As I mentioned before, there's not a lot of options up forward and Flanders has put up some impressive scoring already this season and also in the back half of last season in a similar role. So definitely be circling Flanders as a target in terms of jumping onto Jack McCray.
00:41:05
Speaker
It's my shock you actually love it. You are sort of giving yourself over to Bevo roulette and you never know wouldn't even surprise me if he was you made in the sub just because there's clearly a little bit of a I guess that relationship might be a little bit strained potentially but 47 disposals in the VFL and comes back versus the Eagles. McCray is a bit of an outside player so I should get plenty of the outside ball there and I think you'll have a bit of a chip on his shoulder in terms of
00:41:35
Speaker
A bit of an FU to his doubters, but also probably more importantly Bevo there. So yeah, I actually like Jack McRae as a massive point of difference. And I mentioned the fixture for Bond. Obviously Jack McRae has got that exact same fixture as well. So now I like both those options there, but if I was, I'd be playing it safe with Flanders over those two.
00:41:58
Speaker
Yeah, look, I cannot stress this enough. He might come in this week and he might score against the Eagles being the Eagles, but I would need to see Jack McRae's role first in that side with everything they've changed. We love Jack McRae, but we love the old Jack McRae and he hasn't been Jack McRae for a while.
00:42:16
Speaker
I would need to see it first. It would take some serious balls to jump into Jack McRae blind this week after what we kind of lived through last year, but don't mind the thinking. I'll just be waiting. Hami, this one's from Jaden Fisher. Thoughts on either a Sinclair or a Newman, purely because lots of people are jumping on Messiah this week.
00:42:38
Speaker
And, you know, potentially we know what Sinclair can do. He was coming in underdone and we've seen what Newman's done as well. Not as keen on Newman, but could it be a play to kind of zig in instead of zag and go Sinclair and try and jump ahead of the comp there when they're all going to Nassau? Sinclair price at $901,000, scored $79,000, not keen on that. Newman, yeah. Past performance does not indicate future performance, Hami.
00:43:08
Speaker
Yeah, but I'm still not 100% clear on how that's going to work with Sinclia, Wangani Melira, Bona. Yeah, I'm just not too sure on that. Saints line up just a minute, need to sort of see a bit more actually. And- We can't, sorry, want me to cut you off. I was just going to say,
00:43:35
Speaker
We can't sit here last week and say potentially Sinclair coming back is going to affect Bonner and not look at it the other way as well.
00:43:42
Speaker
Even though Bonner was quite disappointing, I think there is a role that's being filled there that Sinclair doesn't necessarily have to be back doing. Yeah, that's right Luke. Fair enough. We do have two years of a hundred averaging player though, so I'm not willing to discard it just yet off the first game back. Oh no, not at all, but I think you'd want to give it a little bit longer just for that value to really creep in for you.
00:44:06
Speaker
Yeah, don't mind that. To answer the question, mate, I'm not really that keen on Sinclair or Newman at the moment, to be honest, even though Newman's putting up some decent scoring, we'll just wait and see. You're sort of paying about what he's putting up anyway.
00:44:22
Speaker
Yep. Yep. Fair enough. Louie, this one here from the Massimo. So clearly is a big fantasy fan. He's really stuck. He can't get himself and power unless he trades billings. He currently has house at D6 and then he's stuck with reading cough on the bench. So we kind of touched on this before, but is the fix up more important, fixing up either read or coffee yield more important than getting both power and Mossimo this week?
00:44:48
Speaker
Well, who are you, who are you trading Coughfield and Reid two boys down back? There's probably not many options there, is there? Nah, but I think you got to fix at least one of them, right? Yeah, look potentially, but I'll still, I'm not saying what you're, what you're going to be picking up there. You might get a Toby Stenk for
00:45:11
Speaker
what 25k and then maybe Plateau's a little bit there. I don't mind you know because you're fixing those up for value anyway to make a bit of coin and you're doing the same on the other end with a Massimo and a Power too. Billings was the 40 breakeven 40 yeah 40 on the dot he'll make a little bit more money yet but he's got that buy so I don't actually mind chasing those value players and a Massimo and a Power there just because they will be playing and
00:45:39
Speaker
and probably make more money over the next couple of weeks and what you will be going down from a coffield. Does it change your thinking knowing that if he does get the coffield up to Musimo, then that's going to move Haus to D7? Do you think Haus needs to be on field? In a best 22 or best 18? Well, I mean, it's both, right?
00:46:02
Speaker
Yeah, well, yeah, he's fine on field. So I don't really have any strong opinions either, which way. I think he's a solid rookie at D6, but I think he's fine to be at D7 too. Yeah. I suppose it would be to quote the coaches panel, your boys, Luke, it would be team dependent. So it would really depend on what forward rookie is coming on in that scenario, right? If you're having to bring another rookie on, potentially you don't have to if you're going billings down, but yeah.
00:46:29
Speaker
Yeah, I like that train of thought, Louis. I think you've nailed it. This one's for you, Hami. This one's from John. Zane Dersma versus Manor. So I think we're looking at cheap versus a little bit of an inflated price. But I think with a Zane Dersma, you're probably going to get a little bit more job security with
00:46:46
Speaker
Geelong already showing that they're not afraid to put matter into the into the sub-vest and they still have Atkins, Broon and Duncan to come back into that side. So where would you be looking there? Going down and using that cash or playing it a little bit safer for the job security? Jeez, I just think there's potentially better options than both of them, but I'll stick with what the question is. If you had the choice, I'd probably choose Dersma.
00:47:15
Speaker
He's scored okay on the weekend, but he's best 22, whereas Manor could be just showing the door at any point in time, I feel. But I'd probably be looking outside of those two guys anyway, to be honest with you, mate. Yeah. Yeah. Especially if you've got Clark and Dempsey as well on your side, that's three Geelong rookies. You'd be sweating bullets every single Thursday afternoon, I reckon.
00:47:42
Speaker
Yeah, I think if you're looking to go someone around that manner price point, then I think you don't look there this week and hold off until you can get Harvey Thomas the week after, who now has that 100 in his price cycle with the Gold Coast and St Kilda matchups coming up. I think that's where you'd probably look to go. But yeah, I think
00:48:00
Speaker
Just wait till teams. If man is selected this week with all of those players coming back, then he is probably a decent option to go. But you do need to be aware that he can be a sub risk at any time and that's going to really kill his cash gen. What about our boy, Chrissie Burgess? He'd be about the same price, wouldn't he? I prefer Burgess over both. Lower break even.
00:48:20
Speaker
Yeah. Who'd Adelaide have this week? They have, they have Freo. So Alex Pierce is going to go to Tex. So who, what, you might get a Luke Ryan who, who likes to probably got a fog. So he's going to be taken their third defender. What's that? Like a, a Brandon Walker or something. I'm not sure they've got a matchup for him and he's a,
00:48:42
Speaker
He's a pretty high marking player and he plays that backup ruck roll a little bit like what Aaron Cadman does. So I think he's a good pick actually, Chris Burgess. Yeah, I'd say it would actually be Draper there, Lou, who's playing his second game. So there's every chance that he gets off the chain a little bit. So yeah, don't mind that the Chrissie Burgess. Not any BFL average to Chris Burgess last year.
00:49:03
Speaker
Yeah. I'm going to stick with you, Luke, just because it's another Port Adelaide question. This one's from John. He's interested in Kane Farrell. He's asked if he's the new Houston, but what are your thoughts on Kane Farrell's role? He's looked excellent to start, but off two pretty soft match-ups. Is it sustainable? No, I don't think it is. It's just an outside player that's making his bread at the moment, from memories filling up a little bit on kick-ins to
00:49:27
Speaker
It's been a soft two match-ups for Port so far and Houston and Farrell have been running off the back of stoppage there and just absolutely seagulling their Burton too to a lesser extent. But no, I think Farrell's a bit of a flash in the pan and I'd be looking at him in draft, but not in classic. But I might throw to you for an opinion there, Hami, because I can't talk about Port every time. I can't, Farrell. Geez, I don't reckon. Sorry, I'm not that keen.
00:49:56
Speaker
I always get nervous on these types of players that have been in the system for a long time and have never really shown it. Like outside of a Jack Sinclair who had a career best year at 28, if it hasn't happened by now from a fantasy point of view, why is it happening now? There hasn't been a massive role change yet. They've picked up some tools, which is maybe allowing them to free up a little bit without as much worry. But yeah, I think with a Kane foul, it's potentially going to come back to the mean a little bit, Lew. Yeah.
00:50:25
Speaker
Like it's a little bit like who's, he's not winning the football, is he? Like he's not going in and winning it when the chips are down. He needs to be given the football to score and that's not going to happen every single week. Hami, this one for you and I want to, we're going to throw back here to a state-o stamp of approval. So for Chris, can you please tick off this trade? He's got Nukem to power via DPP and then that allows him to get coffeeled up to D'Ambrosio. Done.
00:50:51
Speaker
Two very good trading options for the week, very popular, but still mid, lower price, mid prices, it'll go up in value and should score well. Don't have a buy, no issue with these trades there. There we go, the first Stado stamp of approval for the season. Hopefully the big fellas back soon. Few questions to go lads, we're pumping through these, it's good. Louie, this one's from DT Burner. Last week he traded Fisher to Bonner. Can he consider reversing that this week?
00:51:21
Speaker
No, no, come on. No, you got to go elsewhere, I think. I wish you told me how much money he's got in the bank to do something there, but I don't think you're trading into fish now. I think even owners are sort of looking to jump off in the next couple of weeks because I don't think he's going to skyrocket in price anyway. So yeah, you're not doing that. Last week, the round before, sorry, Bonner went 100 and Fisher went 60 and then
00:51:47
Speaker
Bonner's gone 60 and Fish has gone 85, so there's every chance it just reverses back next week. So it's not really improving your side, so I definitely wouldn't be looking to reverse that. I'd be looking to go elsewhere, like Lou mentioned. Hami, this one's from Shane Ware. Who goes first out of Newcomb, Budderick and Sexton?
00:52:05
Speaker
Newcomb, Buderik Sexton. Well, two of those guys have the buy. Buderik has been the poorest performer, in my opinion, to be the first one to go, from what I can see. And then you've got Newcomb who's dropping cash. Sexton is not dropping cash, but he's not going up either. So it depends if you need the score this week. If you need the score in your best 18,
00:52:30
Speaker
you're feeling like you need that score boost, then you could hold Newcom and trade Sexton, get some more points on field that way. But my opinion is that Sexton and Baudrillard probably both need to go as a priority. Yeah.
00:52:47
Speaker
mirror your thoughts there. Hami. Lou, last question for you and I'm going to throw a hypothetical at you. Marcus Bontempelli, if it comes out this week and he doesn't have a ceiling score against the Eagles, do owners just have to stick fat or would there be cause for concern? I'd be sticking fat, to be honest. I don't have that many concerns over Marcus Bontempelli. He's well and truly got the role
00:53:13
Speaker
His incentive bounces all the time. He's got high time on ground and he's the dog's best player. He certainly hasn't gotten off to the greatest start, but that's quite often the risk that you take when you do start somebody priced at 117.
00:53:28
Speaker
I do think he can sort of revert back to his main and I sort of see it as all upside from here with two poorer scores, which haven't necessarily burnt you either. We sort of look at the floor of players at the end of every single season. And if you looked and saw a 90, you'd be pretty happy with that too. Yeah. Holmes here. I'm an owner. Let's say he hits a hundred this week. I'll still hold because I've got faith he'll come good and he doesn't have a buy anytime soon.
00:53:57
Speaker
Yeah. And I know Lou's been a massive, um, you know, component on not component talker of this strategy over the years. If Marcus Bontempelli has another low score, then the rest of the comp is absolutely going to be targeting him. And then you're the one that's going to miss out if you trade him out and then everyone gets on him and he goes off. So absolutely. We're going to be looking at targeting, which means you absolutely have to hold. You don't lose money unless you sell. So that's where I'd be looking with Marcus Bontempelli.
00:54:24
Speaker
All right, lads, that wraps us up for another big episode. I know Lou wanted this one to be a 40 minute tight pod, but we've gone nearly 55 minutes. We're almost there, Lou. Just one closing thought. Harmony, I'm going to throw you on the spot. Can you just give our listeners a little bit of insight into what you're thinking with this week and how you're looking to attack?
00:54:43
Speaker
Well, how I'm looking to attack, you know what, I've actually started to do a list of players that are primos that I feel are dropping and potentially going to have buyers coming up over the next month or so and looking at who I might want to be trading in coming off their buyers. So that's probably one thing that I've been looking to do, mate. So, yeah.
00:55:09
Speaker
Yeah, love that from Yohami. And no doubt over the next couple of weeks when we start getting the podcast up and about more, we're going to get you to have Yohami's five where you can list your targets and really help the listeners out because there's no coach better on the podcasting scene in terms of finding value and finding the right players to upgrade.
00:55:27
Speaker
So that's it. Just a reminder to everyone listening to this, please follow us on Pod Pod, at Pod Pod AFL on X. Leave a rating and review on Spotify, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. That's really going to help us out. And yeah, look, we recorded Wednesday this week. We're going to try and stay Mondays, but at the moment with everything we've got going on, it's been a little bit tough, but we'll still be here each and every week. And we're looking forward to continuing on this season with you also.
00:55:58
Speaker
Have a good week and we'll be back next week to review round three. Cheers.
