DOCS TRADING CENTRE ROUND 9

DOCS TRADING CENTRE ROUND 9

Well another big week in Super Coach and it’s getting to the time of the season when you are in upgrading mode, improving your team. We all know the big guns your Abletts, Pendlebury’s, Deledio’s. You don’t need us to tell you about them. We try to uncover the players you may not know of. This is vitally important at this time of the year as there are many bargains to be had where you can save a dollar but still get a ripper player. As per usual we reckon we have uncovered a few for you. But I have a few other things first.

GIVING UP ON PLAYERS

You know the players I am talking about, Travis Cloke, Cyril Rioli, there are plenty of them. I guess I really want to focus on your keepers, your premium type players. No is NOT the time to be trading them out. You have to stick fat with them. We have been banging on all year about using your trades wisely and now is a time to do that. Like it or not you are stuck with Cloke and Rioli in particular. There are other simular that people have but you cannot be tempted by trading them out. You got them because they are premium players and you must stick with them.

The thing not to do is get sucked into what I call the “Double Sideways Debacle”. This is when you say have Cloke and think I can get Zorko and make a heap of cash and bring in Sidebottom. The reason why this is bad is because it is 2 trades to go sideways. Use your trades to improve your side and stick by your premiums.

DEFENDERS

Michael Johnson (Price $470500, Average 97, Break Even +69)

We spoke of this guy last week and he saluted with a 120. In a poorly performing team he has only once been under 90 so nice and consistent and a duel posi as well as a defender.

Corey Enright ($466600, 90, +77)

I keep going on about him get on it. Last 5 average is 95 so he is putting in consistent scores and over the last 5 years he has never averaged over 93.

Sam Fisher ($463,900, 88, +136)

This is more a heads up for next week. He has been injured and should be back this week. Has a high BE and should drop another 20k. Has not averaged under 90 in the last 5 years.

Chris Newman ($436800, 84, +137)

The Tigers skipper is going to drop another 20k next week and is about to be the bargain of the year. Has not averaged under 93 in the last 5 years. Will get better as Tiges do.

MIDFIELDERS

Luke Shuey ($540400, 111, +81)

Escapes attention in the Eagles midfield and has a last 3 game average of 120. Good average, good price doesn’t usually get tagged get on him.

Sam Mitchell ($516300, 107, +111)

Even though the Hawks play badly he still scores ok. His last 3 game average is 102 and has only been under 90 twice. Has averaged over 100 for the last 5 years, bargain.

Nick Dal Santo ($501300, 106, +70)

Not as cheap as last week but still cheap. His last 3 average is 113 and has only been under the 100 twice this year. Appears to have got his mojo back.

Matt Priddis (470400, 95, +145)

This is possibly the best buy of the year and it may get better next week with an expected price drop of 20k. If you take out his score of 24 when he was knocked out he has averaged 106 this year. His last 3 years he has averaged 104/109/114. If you can wait a week he will be the best bargain of the year.

RUCKS

Will Minson ($472900, 94, +90)

Has a last 5 game average of 102 so he is pretty consistent and is the main ruck at the Dogs. He is a unique pick and appears to be getting better as the season goes on.

Todd Goldstein ($458000, 86, +36)

Has got better since McIntosh got injured. His last 3 has averaged 112 with a massive 153 at the weekend. With confidence back even when McIntosh gets back he may do better.

FORWARDS

Paul Chapman ($527600, 103, +91)

A perennial Super Coach star he is still doing the business. His last 5 average is 111 and only twice has he been under 90. Nice and consistent and can go big.

Mitch Robinson ($472300, 96, +81)

Has stepped into the void left by Murphy with a huge 161 yesterday. Chris P has been on about getting players who step up to replace injured ones and this is a classic example and is still cheap as.

Danny Stanley ($422300, 98, +63)

Here’s one if you are a bit short on coin. Has only been back for 2 weeks but has had scores of 92 and 104 not bad for a team that lost.

David Zaharakis ($523300, 100, +109)

Having a great year in a good midfield has averaged 112 in his last 5 and 4 out of his last 5 have been over 100 and the one that wasn’t was a 96. Doesn’t get tagged either.
