Hi Guys,
we are creating another really strong league so that FF leagues can try get to the top 20 this year.
we are looking for people that came in the top 5k last year and really know their stuff! no one new to the game, only people with +3 years experience, if your interested let us know and either myself or Flame will message you and ask a few questions, may even have to show your team to make sure your no amature!
the leagues forum will have regular updates to show FF how we are going, coach ranking and who is playing eachother for the round plus scores at the end of the round.
i would love to join although ive only got 2 years exp and last year i came top 7,000.
i am going for overall though.
ive been looking for a competitive league for a while now.
maanco
Been playing last 3 years, about 2k last year, poor finish as I started around top 500. Happy to show you my team.

Finished about 1200th last year, 900 the year before.

ye they will come, we got plenty of time... dont want to get any rookie coaches. the wait will be worth it... if we dont find anyone in the next week or 2, we can start head hunting :) did it last year with FF elite league and it worked out pretty well.
Spots are filling fast..Get in quick if you want to be a part of a competitive league...
so far so good, looking like a strong league, only few spots left... lucky we have time to pick from the best.
C'mon guys..if you want to join a competitive league and you want to put FF into the top leagues join us..

Back to back 5000 avg finish's. Keen if there are any spots left.
I'm keen, finished 12,000 in first year!
Hello been playing since 07, We have our own money league and would enjoy the stiff
competition you speak of, Finshed 3607 in DT Last year with my Team Gutted Rabbits
and 1596 with my SC team. Hope this qualifies me, not that keen on showing my team
though if thats a deal breaker let me know.
If theres still a spot I'm keen. Finished 302 in DT last year and can post screenshot if required.
If you can post a screen shot of that you're in!!
Grazz..I don't need to see your team as such..although I'm curious now..Can you prove that ranking or PM me your structure???
Snozza and Roos...do you have proof of that finish or PM me your team??
I just want to be sure of a strong league!!

Good luck all and lets smash that top 20 chart! haha
Good stuff getting the league happening Mish :)
LE didnt notice him in there :)
thanks Chrisuzz,
hows everyones team doing? most players pretty much locked by now?
i'm still having a bit of issues in the ruck, but i think the extra funds spent on vickery on the bench will take care of that... have 6 sun players on the pine.
Good luck for the season Mish..hope you have a better run with injuries this year..finals here we come
And those rucks keep causing controversies!!
thanks, you too! tell me about it, i also took some risk with injuiry prone players :-/
my rucks are done, bit risky but whats what DT is all about. i got Cox & Fraser (Hale & Spencer).
p.s i kept hibbert.

quick swap Hibberd to Buckley!!!! ;)
man this is flowered - could Buckley do a 'Relton' (just in terms of this season, cos I hear he's a potential gun?)??
so was relton lol... i dont think bucks will play too often to be honest with you... i mean look who their playing? a side they will absolutely smash!
Good luck everyone :)
Man I swapped Warnock and Pav for Sandi and knights right before lockout... then warnock pulls out 41 in q1... worst feeling ever...
at least you dont have connors or foley like heaps of other people out their lol.
Quote from: Mish on March 25, 2011, 12:13:40 AM

41 is almost better then foley and connors whole games, warnock end up cracking the ton didnt he
ye he did, but kruzer comes back in a 3-4 weeks, so not sure how good warnocks scores are going to be, plus he didnt have a good ruck to compete with. so glad i took vickery out of my side about an hour before the match and swapped him with hale.
any more room. top 1000 last year
Of ccourse I have selwood... :P Haha week 2 will be right :)
Quote from: Spite on March 26, 2011, 07:32:16 PM

even with Selwood ive managed to crack 1k with 9 players :)
I was 941 from 8... so I know what you mean :P
i thought foley and adcock were in alot of teams, knowone playing me has them and they killed me this week they scroed a combined toalt less than what i expect them to score individually. They better come out and give me 160+ next week to make up for it

i am suprised i have 4 out of 5 opposition with foley thought it wouldnt be that high
foley & connors isnt going to get me off to a good start
anthony has to fire for me today! im hardly seing any teams with him this year :-/
Good luck Mish, hopefully everyone can crack the 2k mark in round 1.

im confident ill crack 2k im thinking maybe 2100+
maanco has notched up his first league win. well done,
I needed atley and darling and ~50 points to fend off an a. swallow attack... much closer than it should be
connors 24 killed it for me pushed past 2000 just which is a suprise considering foley and connor got me 45 pts
my should be win against yarkis makes me 5/5 this week from leagues :)
Loved how the top scoring team beat the second top scoring team :P

actually fotty god top scored, foley killed me in every single lead except my joke league where i won by 500 points.
the league is looking really strong an average of over 2100 would have to put us close to the top, keep it up.

he was my unique aswell pity you had him, i cant believe knowone i played had foley he was a great pick and if he didnt have gastro he was on track for an 80+ score.
league ranked 17th
what a ripper start!! well done everyone! keep up the good work, and please dont be trade happy! just because a few kids did well doesnt mean they will consistantly do it... but who am i to give advice around here... i'm only 7th in the league.
have 7 gold coast players! cant wait for them to play and hopefully not get smashed!
Now I have to decide gold coast or not who to play ie tapscott or matera
I can't believe that I'm ranked 2nd in the league and I lost! 2 damn points too!! Awsome work people!! I'll be sticking with what works. The gold coast players may have to earn their spot in my team.

lol i know, i saw that, very unlucky! i think everyone will need a lot of luck this year with beating other people because everyones score was pretty close and not 1 team under 2k is pretty impressive, hopefully we can continue this trend.

I must say I was worried I wasn't making 2000 Connors and foley for 45 and missed the Gibbs loophole through sheer stupidity
I was thinking I ll give gc rookies a miss unless I have no choice only spot in doubt is maybe backs and 5th mid if foley is ok he ll play stupid gastro
chatters that was reli unlucky :P. Very nicely done though guys. its nice being on the top 20 leagues list :D

Good fun though! I was worried about my game against the superstars more abd this one completely went under the radar. You're definetly right mish, it wont be the last time that a game is separated by a few points in this league! Keep it up!!
17th :o :o :o
Great work guys, making aname for fanfooty :)
Will do better this week.
Bruce & Boak need to lift...
Top effort boys, 17 overall.
Also, unluckly Canuckuled, deserved to win with 2nd best score in the league.
2 point win and best score in the league :)

Good work boys..save those trades..top 10 now!!
Awesome job guys!!! Keep it rolling.
What do you think about selwood, assuming he doesn't get chosen next week.
I am thinking about using an early trade, here is why.
It won't be as stupid as people are saying to get rid of him. Trade him to someone, for me, will be pendlebury. From this I gain an immediate 1.5k. (Yeah, huge) Wait until prices fluctuate and get him back in, he will drop around 50-70k depending on his next scores. You have two weeks to get him because of his bye, so you can save up and buy him back for your team at a much less cost.
Say instead you kept him, and had to fork out an extra 40k on pendleburys starting price as he might (and should rise) rise. He will be a very expensive player and I might need to wait extra long to get him in my team.
That trade costs you a trade, but you gain around 100k, which is close to what you want from a trade. Many people have done worse and this will guarantee a better score, and a solid midfield of Swan, Boyd, Montagna, Pendlebury and soon to be selwood. Possibly the top 5 scoring mids this year.
Think about the gary ablett for dane swan and getting gary back which happened last season. That move was genius for those who did it, although its not exactly the same and is still risky.
If you are going for a league win, 100% keep him, but if you dont want to fall behind in the overall ranks, could think about what I said above.
And I do not care about this league win, just our league ranking which requires me to do the best overall that I can do. What do you think?
PS if he is named, I'll obviously keep him.
^^^^^^^^
If named keep him.
If not id go Bartel. Looked good in a low scoring DT game. Pendles has his 2nd bye round 13, so you are far better off picking him up then. Either Bartel or Pendles though. DO NOT fall into the trap of Stanton.
Haha it was only ever bartel or pendlebury :)
Pendlebury over Bartel because of the geelongs bye really late where I might be down on trades.
If he isn't named which I suspect he won't I'd trade him!! Bartel looking good!!
Quote from: Footy God on March 28, 2011, 09:18:37 PM
DO NOT fall into the trap of Stanton.
I hate it when people do :P
So everyone thinking Pendles the better option than keeping him ?
go bartel.
Bartel has a bye at final times :-\ and ill be burning an extra trade anyways bringing Selwood back in then out again
Quote from: chrisuzz on March 28, 2011, 10:23:51 PM
Bartel has a bye at final times :-\ and ill be burning an extra trade anyways bringing Selwood back in then out again
I'm 100% with you.
Pendlebury. Yes.
um, or A. Swallow??? :(
yeh, ive got Anthony so no for me.
I could spend 20 or 30k and got Montags or Boyd
Whats your midfield like? Montgna looks better than boyd for value at the moment. And he will score more than pendles, so that would be decent if you have the money
Swan, Selwood, Simpson, Anthony, are my prems
lucky i chose pendles over selwood saved my self a trade by the looks of things, i hope not for your sake.
got a dilema had mpp all preaseason out of sheer luck wasnt picking it made a few changed before lockout which looked like good choices issue is krak is in my mids now surely i cant play harris, swallow or libba over him at 6th after a 96
if u have danger u could swap em, i think ill do that, thought i could swap Prestia but Danger looks better
dont got him i have a few forward dpp's but all premium so doesnt help my cause. think i am going to have to play krak and foley and have swallow, harris & libba on the bench oh gee
was suggestting him as he has a bye, cant help ya sorry
So you pretty much need montagna, boyd by seasons end anyway... would go selwood to montagna (i just trust him more than boyd)
yeh same aha Montagna is more trusted by me too !! :P and 10k cheaper :)
if selwood doesnt play this week will everyone jump on him in round 7 if you don't already have him. Im really tring to get him into my team as he should be sub 400k at that stage. Im not sure if i have the money for him i could trade anthony but thats a very sideways trade, another option is upgrading foley after downgrading duigan before his bye, however i was planning on keeping foley a bit longer.
would you guys be willing to lose a foley/ward in order to get in selwood. like spite said a strong midfield could pull some massive scores
Swan, Boyd, Bartel, Selwood, Anthony, Krak looks pretty good for a round 8 team.
if you already have selwood in your team, i would keep him there, his price is irrellevant when you have him in your team.
there will be plenty of premiums throughout the season who will have the odd bad game and will drop in price.. you have to be patient with your trades and avoid doing a sideways trade! you have to try fill your team up with premiums or get rid of the rookies on field asap.
i recon a lot of players will get rid of him if he doesnt play and waste a trade.
Don't waste a trade an get rid of selwood! That's completely foolish!
Quote from: chatters24 on March 29, 2011, 04:08:24 PM
Don't waste a trade an get rid of selwood! That's completely foolish!
100% agreed!
Who would trade 1st week.
If you do, Selwood would make a surprise comeback and bust out a 140+
That always seems to happen. ::)
If selwood is named on the bench this match, he is gone from my team.
The risk of him playing as sub is too great. If he plays from a sub position, he will score badly, hurting my team. Not only this, he will drop to a shockingly low price. Trading sideways to pendles and watching selwood fall 100k (with pendles rising) will gain me 140k for the sideways trade. Enough that its not a big deal.
If he isn't named, I'm not so sure yet.
If people are thinking about trading now their is not a chance in hell that our league will be as high in the rankings as it is now by years end. Think about it this way would you rather cop a score of 50 now or cop 0s at the end of the year. Surely everyone knows that you NEVER trade a premium unless its a LTI.
What do you lads think this week? Matera, Darling or Richardson on field? Thinking Matera, but if he plays as a deep small forward the result will not be good. Do you think he will push up the ground?
I have the exact same decision thinking Matera. I have kind of talked myself into it because I have decided he was scoring ok pre season and they were copping a beating then and now abblett is in the team surely the gold coast can only get more of it and the ball will go towards matera more. But they could be just me hoping

I hope you read all of the for's and against before stating that. We are all clearly in this league because we are all top DT'ers. I know how to play this game too and a trade now doesn't mean you will get a zero later. For all you know, we will have 4 trades that we won't have used by seasons end because we miscalculated because of the byes. If selwood starts on the bench, this week, it is NOT worth keeping him, purely for the reason that he may start as a sub.
I'll say it again, so i know people at least read it one more time. If selwood is a sub, he will drop around 80-100k due to two low scores. Pendlebury will rise probably around 30-40k. Therefore the trade will gain me 110-140k and points = not bad for a trade. Selwood will then come back into my side later and I will have a premium midfield of Swan, montagna, boyd, pendlebury, selwood. Sure I might be one trade behind you but i'll be up on ranking and points and that will hardly cost me multiple zeros at the end of the season.

if you knew selwood would be a sub i would be tempted to trade him out, i dont think many people have selwood in this league so we should be looking at trading him in early. If he is a sub and gets a sub 40 score he will go down over 100k and i only make a trade like this if it makes me 100k.
I highly doubt Selwood would go over and just play a half of footy. Would say he would play a full game or no game.
Oh and Spite do what you want with your team but Selwoods rd1 score will only count in 1 price change. I would put money on if you make the trade come the end of the year when you have no trades left you wish you hadn't of done it.
A premium is a premium his price shouldn't matter if your keeping them the whole year and Trades are like gold. So basicly your saying your trades are worth only 50k because selwoods score only counts for 1 price change 100k max if he has another ave game. Does this mean you trade your rooks before they have even made 100k.
I won the FF elite league last year and this didn't happen by making stupid early trades.
Im just saying Value your trades.
I don't see where you got 50k from? If Pendlebury goes up 40k and selwood goes down 100k, I make 140k, not half of it?
If one of my rookies got up to 230k, I would possibly trade them out. I said I wasn't entirely happy with 140k, but I would take it.
Winning a league doesn't mean anything to me because you play it totally different than overall. You were in a league of people trying to go for highest overall ranking, not a league win. I have made final 64 in the eliminator and I didn't lose because I ran out of trades either.
People don't seem to understand that this year is totally different than all the other years. We have MORE money (equals more starting premiums) and MORE trades. We can get a full premium team quicker and pump out higher scores more often. I have 15-16 premiums at the moment. I only need 7 = 14 trades to get a full team. That leaves me 10 for injury/cover for byes. Every other year is has been 11-13 premiums, meaning 9 upgrades = 18 trades and 2 for injuries. It is really a different game this year and no one really knows best.
I know last season that the winner of SC went the last 5 or so rounds with no trades and still won.
Obviously if Selwood is named on the field, I will keep him regardless of his price change. It's just weighing up the risk of whether he could be subbed and get a sub 40 score again. Again, no one really knows.
"If people are thinking about trading now their is not a chance in hell that our league will be as high in the rankings as it is now by years end."
This was a very harsh statement and I do not believe it to be true at all.
"Im just saying Value your trades."
This is a much fairer statement and I do know this to be true. :)

If one of my rookies got up to 230k, I would possibly trade them out. I said I wasn't entirely happy with 140k, but I would take it.
Winning a league doesn't mean anything to me because you play it totally different than overall. You were in a league of people trying to go for highest overall ranking, not a league win. I have made final 64 in the eliminator and I didn't lose because I ran out of trades either.
People don't seem to understand that this year is totally different than all the other years. We have MORE money (equals more starting premiums) and MORE trades. We can get a full premium team quicker and pump out higher scores more often. I have 15-16 premiums at the moment. I only need 7 = 14 trades to get a full team. That leaves me 10 for injury/cover for byes. Every other year is has been 11-13 premiums, meaning 9 upgrades = 18 trades and 2 for injuries. It is really a different game this year and no one really knows best.
I know last season that the winner of SC went the last 5 or so rounds with no trades and still won.
Obviously if Selwood is named on the field, I will keep him regardless of his price change. It's just weighing up the risk of whether he could be subbed and get a sub 40 score again. Again, no one really knows.
"If people are thinking about trading now their is not a chance in hell that our league will be as high in the rankings as it is now by years end."
This was a very harsh statement and I do not believe it to be true at all.
"Im just saying Value your trades."
This is a much fairer statement and I do know this to be true. :)
i agree with spite here, i only need 16 trades max to fully upgrade my team and thats getting rid of guys like petrie. 8 trades is more than enough for injuries and if i have a horror injury run than i just keep petrie, krak , knights or adcock.
I really dont think selwood would go over to the west and become a sub, i probably would keep him in if i had him even if he was missing but i see the reason behind trading him out. Both Spite and Fenno have valid points and we will see voer the next few weeks which was the beter option.
I did what some people called stupid trades, namely mitchell to swan because mitchell was strugling to hit 100 scores, in retrospect that was a good trade.
We got lots of trades this yr I need 16 for upgrades that's upgrading everyone under Higgins, so I think we'll be right there.
Would you trade selwood if he doesn't play and get him back rd7, I don't have him just interested
both fenno and spite have very valid points!! but if anyone remembers my last years performance whilst dealing with injuiries... it was a nightmere, i had a lottttt of injuiries, even the non injuiry prone players copped it!!! and for just about the whole season i was using trades on injuiries instead of improving my team.
i'm a big believer in that if you have a premiums in your team, you just have and forget unless there is LTI's.
i think what Fenno is worried about as am i, is there is nothing worse than seeing people with a happy trade finger... and the last thing you wana see is when round 4-5-6 come around and you got donuts coz of injuiries and nor having enough MMP's on field you will be forced to trade due to donuts on field.
remember, you can never rely on rookies to play every week. coz they wont, regardless how good they are doing etc. unless your ryce palmer in 09.
None of us have won the car yet, so no ones opinion is worth more than the other's. At the end of the day you do what you want to your team, everyone else can only try to help you with their good, and some not so good advice.
My own personal thought's regarding Selwood (I don't have him by the way) is that I would keep him regardless of whether he plays this week or not because I myself am not comfortable in trading one premium for another. However in saying that, Spite has clearly given this a lot of thought and I have no issue with his theory at all.
Tossing up Matera or Darling on field.
Darling V PA
Matera V Carlton
Little concenred about Materas role in the side, do you think he will push up the ground?
Quote from: Fenno on March 30, 2011, 02:00:18 AM
I highly doubt Selwood would go over and just play a half of footy. Would say he would play a full game or no game.
Oh and Spite do what you want with your team but Selwoods rd1 score will only count in 1 price change. I would put money on if you make the trade come the end of the year when you have no trades left you wish you hadn't of done it.
A premium is a premium his price shouldn't matter if your keeping them the whole year and Trades are like gold. So basicly your saying your trades are worth only 50k because selwoods score only counts for 1 price change 100k max if he has another ave game. Does this mean you trade your rooks before they have even made 100k.
I won the FF elite league last year and this didn't happen by making stupid early trades.
Im just saying Value your trades.

i'm goin with Matera on the field over Darling and Richardson because Nth v WCE was played in flowering hot conditions and i reckon will take a bit out of them ...
Yea heat is a factor no le cras forward tho, I am playing ....... Yea no idea still leaning towards darling think gc will get thrashed
Yeahh, Darling looks the go but will have extra attention on him. Chaplin to take him?
Swallow V Savage?
Savage V dees
Swallow V Calrton
Actually thinking Savage....
id pick swallow out of the 2 but thats me. :) probs coz i dont have savage in my team hehe

I keep switching between Richardson, Darling and Matera.
Doing my head in. Im sure they will all score 60-80 anyway. Might go Matera just based on his NAB games, 70 likely. Not keen on Richardson, playing Pies, and potenital sub as he isnt a lock in their best 18 players. Darling will reply on goals to score. Tough ask when up against Chaplin.
Lol sorry Flame
ive gotta choose outta Prestia aswell as Matera, Darling and Richardson

well said. fenno n spite both have really good arguments. I normally wouldn't trade in the first 2 rounds at least unless there was a LTI. but i can competely understand where u r coming from spite. but like some1 said if selwood is named in the team i think there is zero chance he will be a sub. therefore you will only have 1 week of price decrease and it would mean that you're not getting enough value by trading him out. similarly if he isn't named in the team u could be certain next week that he would be back and atm u have reasonable cover on your mid bench so it wouldn't be that bad to sit him on the bench.
as for the richardson v darling v matera, i would give matera a week to c how he goes. darling showed a lot last week and is only playing port so you can be fairly sure he will see a fair bit of ball up in the fwd line. therefore i would be going with darling.
iv got all 3 of them on my bench :P my worst 3 fwds r knights petrie n kraks :P

Ha..no worries..
Just don't mention it again!!
Thanks everyone, its good that we can discuss things. I mean, if we didn't we wouldn't learn anything!
If he is named, I will keep him. I will just wait with that and see what happens when teams are announced.
I would be starting rookies in this order (forward only)
Richardson (backline vs Pies, should rack up the possies) > Darling (forward with no le cras, on a smaller aami stadium, and liked the look of him) > Matera/Tapscott > Prestia
Just follow your gut Spite...Your reasoning is sound..just wait for the teams!!

I have all of those (bar Prestia) and am thinking Tapscott is a lock. 50/50 on Darling or Richardson or Matera. I think Richardson has the highest point scoring potential. Darling key forward a little risky. Matera first game, unsure on role, also risky.
I just re thought that and I would go Tapscott > Richardson > Matera >Darling > Prestia
I have no idea who I am going to put on the field either out of my rookies so im as clueless as the rest of you but have ruled out Richardson because even though the ball should be in the backline if you look at ports highest scoring backman last week against the pies it was chaplin with 67. So even though the ball is back there doesn't mean they will score any good.
We won't beat roos by 75 :) I'd like to think we would though...

with rookies its all a gamble when choosing between one another, these guys are so unpredictable. when they play for a good side their less likely to get TOG and when they play for a crappy side they make get more TOG but less points. either way your doomed! lol... but i'm going with darling this week, on the basis that port is crap and they will look for him more this game.

+1 2 rookies forward tapscott & darling
I screwed up I have krak stuck in the mids so swallow on the bench *sigh*
i have krak in the mid as well for MPP, i think its a good thing to have him there, the way i look at it is since swallow worth $160, he is much more likely to get to say $300k before krak will, therefore will be one of the first midfielder you use to be a cash cow or upgrade to premium, while krak can still be used for muti position purposes.
True I will end up having krak as 7th mid instead of swallow.
Same same but different , probably better being mpp
Haha, selwood named one the wing... staying in my team :)
Selwood named :)
Got Krak in fwds, swapped for danger as crows have the bye ;)
starting Richardson over Darling, Prestia, Matera.
Starting Heppell in backline as he is named as a ollower and Toy is named on the bench :)
Im gonna go:
Stanley over Toy and Duigan
Swallow over Savage, Heppel, Bewick
Tapscott and Darling over Richardson, Matera.
Stanley easy call imo
Swallow 50/50 with Savage
Forwards could go anyway.
Would like some opinions

Agree with you on all. Forwards could be anything but I like cam richardson not being cooped up in the forward pocket
i love how early on the season we have problems in which rookie to pickup and than in the second half we are worried that we might get donuts if the rookies dont play.
whatever happened to james hird playing hibbert this week? ???

Round 2 fixture + Round 1 league ranking.
Me v u mush cool,
Selwood out what you guys who have him gonna do
you better get ready for it chopps! i have a stronger side on this week... but i'm sure you do too.
Better selwood is out than playing for me. I'll chuck him on the bench and cop a lower score this week :(
move krak back to mids and play tapsott/darling with richardson...
dont worry spite, one of the other kids will have to perform instead, i had petrie and fraser out last week.
Goodluck guys :) may we get our rankings up even more !! :)
I have montagna. Someone up there hates me :S
hell come back spite :)
Im just hoping no one has JRoo

Quote from: Spite on April 01, 2011, 10:54:31 PM

starting to think the same...
Even Joey has got more than him now
How many goddard to rawlings/lake/deledio trades do you think there will be this week?
Hopefully, quite a few !! :P
i plan on keeping him for a bit longer, might just be having a slow start this year, and was head to head with Delidio most the game
not having a good start to either round
Dlids 103 damm straight,
volt 90 i'll take, not super happy, but what can ya do
Montanga 87, whats the bet boyd gets 99 this week the old swaparoo
connors 73 i can live with i guess.
Goddard 72, really gotta stick with him hopefully picks it up before his break
Foley 55 better then 21 i guess, really starting to test me was expecting more like a 55 and 75 at this stage of the year
the trade of foley to ward will really tempt me if ward can post 80+, also i really dont want to go the year without swallow so if swallow posts a 80+ score i think i will make a noob trade and get him in.
If not foley out round 7 for selwood is looking quite likely at this stage.
foley and if swallow goes well i really need a way to get krak to my forward line
foley might have done enough if nothing great presents itself
Damn Goddard! I was a little worried with his preseason form! Actually I was worried with the whole St Kilda unit over the preseason with everything happening off field and thought it might catch up with them on the field.
In saying that though, Goddard is a true DT champ, he is way too dangerous to leave out, but what's the go with Joey??
i apologise for the low score everyone this week, i have anthony and krak as subs this week.

Not looking good for our league avg :'(
i got Krak on the field. hey if and this is a hypothetical i hope to god it doesn't happen, if anthony doesnt get subbed do you still get a fat 0
hopefully one of them dont get on, would probs help my score

i think it still counts, it will never happen though unless anthony somehow pulls an injury on the bench.
I have had enough of foley and anthony so im going to swap back to what i had preseason and get in pendles and probably swallow. Collingwood is way too good and both swan and pendles will continue to rack up the touches.
well having Swan as captain should help me make up for Krak and Anthony

its gonna hurt having Darling on the bench and Krak on... :( even Petrie and Richardson to some extent
Travis Boak. I hate you.
Scrap that!!!!
Let's go.
P.S: That was bloody good fortune with L.Anthony mate. ;)
I went with richardson and krak... oh well, at least i didnt have hayes or anthony...
Anthony did preetty well for the position he got put in, imagine how he went if he was on at the start

he did... i'm really glad he did really well in the half that he players, maybe it will teach Brad Scott to put his best 18 on the field and not as a sub. and Atley! is a dud!! deffinately not ready for AFL, thanks god i dont have him hehe.
although darling is looking pretty decent.
I'm considering trading atley out.... to mzungu when he returns :S He just won't make me any money for ages :(
ps chrisuzz check your inbox
its ok as long as he keeps making you money, some players will make you money faster than others, the thing about youngsters is they only need 1 decent match to keep making you money for a couple of weeks.
only concern i have with Atley is when bastinac comes back im not sure if he will be able to keep his place in the team.
who is going to match last weeks score?
who is seriously thinking a trade or two are in order?

I'm hoping to reach the 2100 mark again this week. I'm 1557 with 7 to play (Grimes, Heppell, Boyd, Ryder, Tapscott, Goodes, Franklin). Thats just an average of 77 per player so it's do-able!
Also no trades for me next week (unless one of my players get a LTI today). I'm relatively happy that all my premiums will still be considered premiums by years end and that my cash cows will develop nicely through the year.
9 players to get 2100. (1352)
So that's 81 from each of players.
Boyd, Franklin, Bruce, Sylvia, Higgins, Grimes, Adcock, Heppell & Tapscott.
If Bruce fires 2100 weill be easy IMO...... ???
P:S: "Right To Bear Arms." Your in trouble....
236 lead
Ward VS Bruce, Boyd, Adcock, Sylvia, Tapscott & Heppell.I think that's right. ::)
Stanton
It's all hangs on Brucey here.
Atley to Libba is a possibility :S Pretty happy with my team besides atley, just annoyed about selwood :(
Buddy is on track for a solid 30 today.
need 84 between Grimes and Sylvia to crack 2000, sorry for letting yas down this week boys
its nice having the 4th best scorer on the bench though... ::)
Cracked 2100. ;)

About to crack 2200...yeah baby!!
There is a guy in my public league on something around 2200 with 3 playing and has selwood on the bench... :S
2211. 8)
couldt even hit 2100 this week, so doing horribly. Im thinking of trading foley to ward and atley to liba/cunrow. Boyd, Ward and lIba is a bit dog haevy but harris can cover boyd andall i need is bewick to cover ward.
Pity the roos have the bye this week or i would have gone foley to ward this week and than atley to swallow the week after.
2098 :(
Sorry guys... but next week selwood is back, so should do better!
Atley to libba is so tempting.
2125ish better than last week but still a little disapointing.
Should i Trade Foley?
Uh Oh.
Round 4 I will have to start atley to cover for montag/boyd. I can't trade him for libba then. Unless hibberd gets named. Ouch :'(
@maanco
I would trade foley to ward if you can cope with the round 4 byes. Ward vs GC this week, he should kill it.
2162 bit happier with that, what to do with foley??
harris, swallow & libba on the bench

i was thinking him to Libba but ward is another option
Savage is also another option has been talked up by Clarkson alot
2138, okay score I guess but really should have done better.
my team for round 3:
Goddard, Broughton, Lids, Grimes, Gibbs, Otten, Lower (Stanley (E), Toy, Duigan)
Swan (C), Boyd (VC), Montagna, Bartel, Harris, Swallow (Savage, Bewick, Heppel)
Franklin, Riewoldt, Stevie J, Higgins, Knights, Krak, Tapscott (Darling, Richardson, Matera)
Players in bold could potentially be traded
Broughton been disappointing but ill keep him. A trade to Gram/Enright is tempting though.
Savage/Swallow to Libba/Curnow. Poor rookie selection error.
Also it looks like not getting Pendles was a mistake, looks like ill be paying alot for him come round 8 when I pick him up.
Trade or not to trade? If Savage is dropped should I pick up Curnow?
I guess is it realistic to trade foley and to who got no cash well 6 k
down to a mid rookie who isn't swallow. Krak. Harris or libba
other player I am uneasy on is Dan Connor starting to think that might of been shower decision
Broughton to Deledio? Thoughts?
I'm not really tempted by it. But thought I would put it out there.
@Chopps
I would trade connors out, he appears to be playing a different role and it is effecting his scores significantly...
I wouldn't do it Spite..It was only last week dids was being called a spud!!
whats with all the trade talk we are 2 rounds into the season people. do't go chasing players just because a certain rookie is averaging a tiny bit more than another or your premium player has had an ave week. Have some faith people. I have Foley and as much as the guy is pissing me off im not going to get rid of him because I have faith he will get his shower together. I also missed out on Curnow and Tapscott and im not going to trade rookie for rookie just because Curnow may make me an extra 50k and Tapscott the same. A trade is worth more than 50k people if your rookies are playing have faith in them they may not be as good as another rookie but is it really worth wasting a trade for?
not gonna trade for the sake of just getting opionons.
connor is he capable of a 85 - 90? (i am regreting thinking this is a good idea, other options were going to be broughton or grimes) which of the three grimes looks better but i didnt pick him based on injuries.
foley, should i bench him? got harris swallow and libba to come onto the field. issue i have is he is likely to lose cash yea? which is the opposite reason for me having him in my side BE if i am reading it right out of FF is 98 (i realise its an indication but dont think he will break that)

I don't mean to sound cynical at all Chopps but if you didn't pick Grimes based on his previous injuries then why did you decide to go with Foley who has an even worse history with injuries??
probably should make that clearer. i decided i would take 4 mid to high risks, petrie, knights, foley & connors (connors is a risk to me as i thought he could maintain his avg from the games he playerd last year but wasnt 100% on that
grimes however didnt fit in when i already wanted to take the risk on connors. (starting to wonder my thought process on this decision
Good work all, another strong performances with no one getting under 2k!
Kudos to Andy, Damon & Chris for getting over 2.2k!! unlucky dane! all you needed was a mark and a kick! haha.
it sucks fan footy doesnt let you attach higher resolution pics?
Foley will go down in price this week but start to go back up the week after. His first rd score only last for 1 price change even if he continues his poor scores he won't loose any value overall. But I think you will start to see 80s from him so why not keep him even if he does only score his 50 odd points not like your loosing anything.

i think everyone is just in a rush to make a few bucks. me... im sitting on the sidelines watching other peoples trading frenzie and trying to justify why they need to trade so soon. very few are good justifications.
Agreed Mish. Most people justification is we have 4 more trades this year. Pretty much every year I wish I had 4 more trades and thats without wasting any so now I have that 4 more trades im not going to go wasting them. Would rather have 1 or 2 trades left over at the end of the year (highly unlikely) than be copping 1 or 2 0s at the end of the year.
Ok so foley will make me money by Rd 11 which is what I wanted how ever is he scoring enough to be on field over Harris, swallow or libba
What's your thoughts on Connors scoring had a 72 on the weekend and a sub affected 24 in rd 1

probably should make that clearer. i decided i would take 4 mid to high risks, petrie, knights, foley & connors (connors is a risk to me as i thought he could maintain his avg from the games he playerd last year but wasnt 100% on that
grimes however didnt fit in when i already wanted to take the risk on connors. (starting to wonder my thought process on this decision
I hate mid pricers, hence only taking the one this year in Knights, and even that leaves me slightly uncomfortable.
Hey Guys. Well with scores of 2062 & 2102 to start the year resulting in 2 losses I will cop that to actually be in a competitive league. Looking at 2 trades this week (as always after 2 rounds) Looking at Conca out for Curnow for monetary reasons and Buckley out for Heppell for monetary but more so job security. If only I could put the right rookies on the ground LOL.

Well played Yarkis..unlucky to lose with such a good score!!
is curnow really better than conca though? he doesnt have a bye until round 11 and has better JS than curnow does imo.
but very unlucky with the win/loss ration, im on the same boat as well.. no wins and similar scores to you.
No stupid trades. I don't have Curnow and I'm not looking to get him in.
What trade apart from LTI isn't stupid (this is a serious question)

What trade apart from LTI isn't stupid (this is a serious question)
I have a rule, to pocket at least 100k or injury.
Sorry guys im letting use all down at the moment, if anyone thinks they can improve my team take a look at it in the rate my team section, cheers
2138, okay score I guess but really should have done better.
my team for round 3:
Goddard, Broughton, Lids, Grimes, Gibbs, Otten, Lower (Stanley (E), Toy, Duigan)
Swan (C), Boyd (VC), Montagna, Bartel, Harris, Swallow (Savage, Bewick, Heppel)
Franklin, Riewoldt, Stevie J, Higgins, Knights, Krak, Tapscott (Darling, Richardson, Matera)
Players in bold could potentially be traded
Broughton been disappointing but ill keep him. A trade to Gram/Enright is tempting though.
Savage/Swallow to Libba/Curnow. Poor rookie selection error.
Also it looks like not getting Pendles was a mistake, looks like ill be paying alot for him come round 8 when I pick him up.
Trade or not to trade? If Savage is dropped should I pick up Curnow? Libba is not an option as ill have one short i nthe bulldogs/brisbane bye
Haha i think I am a DT curse, I keep winning by like under 10 points :)
Keep Foley, Fenno has some outstanding points.
I am reaaaallly not sure on connors (I don't have him). I would strongly consider getting rid of him for enright or grimes. He is set for a major price fall but the point is, will he be in the top 10 backman at seasons end? If not, it's a waste paying 383k for him. Up to you.

thats what i am trying to figure out i dunno if he will be top 10 now , either option isnt an issue ahhhhhhh why am i considering trades stupid price changes
if i trade foley to Libba i will get over $125,000 for a player that will avg about the same. will also make me more $$$.

cept foleys JS is much better, if libba stuffs up one game he could be out.. as doggies have a fair few players right on his back.
Quote from: Fenno on April 04, 2011, 12:29:47 AM
whats with all the trade talk we are 2 rounds into the season people. do't go chasing players just because a certain rookie is averaging a tiny bit more than another or your premium player has had an ave week. Have some faith people. I have Foley and as much as the guy is pissing me off im not going to get rid of him because I have faith he will get his shower together. I also missed out on Curnow and Tapscott and im not going to trade rookie for rookie just because Curnow may make me an extra 50k and Tapscott the same. A trade is worth more than 50k people if your rookies are playing have faith in them they may not be as good as another rookie but is it really worth wasting a trade for?
i understand your points im personally not planning on trading foley to a rookie but ward. I can see a rookie change could generate more than a 50k difference. The problem i have most years is that i do heaps of downgrades and end up with dud rookies, as most of the good ones play early. With the byes this year you really need a solid bench so im hoping guys like liba could turn into potential 7th/ 8th men and be great covers for when my stars are out.
for me my plan is to go foley to ward and atley to cunrow. i only plan on keeping them a short while as i want them to generate money really early and drop them to get a gun midfield to carry my team from about round 10 onwards.
ok so i am on again off again with foley,
1. Keep him as he will get better and rise on value before his rd 11 bye
2. trade him to curnow, Heppel or someone as i have plenty of cover in harris,swallow and a lil less in libba
current midfield is Swan, Pendles, Boyd, Montanga, Foley, Krak, <Harris, Swallow & Libba>
eitherway foley is out or on the bench this week his scores in the mid combined with another bad game ie, Krak Sub is killing me
if i trade Foley to Libba i can then upgrade any of my Fwd rookies (Darling Dixion, Richardson, Krak, Matera) to Chris Dawes.
Effectively this will give me an extra 50-130 points each rd, with one upgrade done!
Whats everyones thoughts?
I can see Foley pushing his average up in the next few week to the same as Libbas and can't see Dawes keeping his current average up. so to be honest I think all you would be gaining is 20-50 each round and have 2 less trades
why dont you think Dawes can keep up his current form? even if he doesnt he will surely avg 90+ over the rest of the season.
i have to trade foley sooner or later any way.
also i may have used 2 trades but i also now have a Premium fwd which Foley could never be (a Premium mid) this season
Dawes has played port and NM 2 teams that will be at the lower end of the ladder. Hey I may be wrong but can only see him averaging between 80-90ish at best. I have Foley and im keeping him he will dip in value this week but go back up after that even if he continues his poor 50 odd point scores you won't loose any value and he doesn't have a bye till rd11. Im actually loving that everyone is trading him because at worst he stays around the same price averaging his 50s and I miss out on a Rookie. But he could easily start averaging 80pts+ and heading towards 300k and I save a trade.
I am in two minds about trading now it's why I have supercoach team so I can burn trades there and not in dt.
Part of me thinks nows your chance to fix the wrongs but are they really that bad it's only two games, so far it looks like I only really missed out on Heppel and curnow
Ahhh the joys Of dt
My current issue is Connors and foley, I ll hold Connors, thinking offload foley to one of curnow and hePpel so much doubt though
but, do you(we) really need that extra trade.
i have 5-8 trades after all upgrades, which i think is enough.
i'm really only looking to get rid of Foley but if i can get a premium as well its just a bonus.
even if Dawes only avg 80-90 thats still good for a 5th-7th Fwd

i missed both Heppel and curnow as well as tapscott, and libba. sadly! i almost took tap but decided that Dixion's JS was better.
i also think its the time to fix the wrongs, but are they wrongs?
Make your own decision but how often at the end of the year you wish you had 4 extra trades and now they are here why waste them.
Fenno our wishes were granted and we did get an extra 4 trades (with an extra 2 rds) ;)
but seriously if Dawes does pull off becoming a premium i don't actually waste any trades i just use them ealier than expected.
i dont have foley, but if i did i wouldnt be trading him... he can easily average you 80+ and also it seems that all the foley owners are forgetting that richmond played 2 top sides and collingwood played 2 off the most likely bottom 4 sides.
people really need to learn to just relax a few weeks and dont judge someone on a couple of performances...
i was reading a few threads yesterday about people wanting to trade swallow coz he got 61 and his team got smashed!
a. he was playing one on one with judd all game! did verrryyy well against the brownlow medalist.
b. his team got smashed and wont get killed that badly every game.
c. his ONLY PLAYED ONE GAME!!!
i recon a lot of people dont even watch the games before or do any research what so ever before deciding to make a trade.
this is like the share market, if you buy a stock without knowing much about it you will almost certainly lose and your gambling. if you do enough research you probs would never have bought that particular share.
very true mish but, i still want to trade foley out for Dawes if it works it will be great. still got a few days to decide.
it could also work out to be a bit of a sideways trade
so after way to much thinking about the foley situation i am in the not gonna trade him boat.
he has good stats against his next 4 teams apart from North Melb, gastro effected first two rounds i would imagine, if i had known that would of benched him but oh well
what is the expected price increase you would want from foley before rd 11?
Curnow has a bad game against the Pies is he out of the side?
A lot to read but got through it :)
Maanco, if Dawes becomes a premium, you will be hailed as a genius. If he doesn't, that's two trades gone and you will have problems. Weigh up the pro's and cons. I honestly can't help you because I am not sure myself, but two trades down the drain doesn't appeal to me very much at all.
Fenno is pretty much spot on with what you have said, except we do have 4 extra trades, so there is no problem using 1 of them up for a risk/getting a rookie. You keep saying 'how often at the end of the year you wish you had 4 extra trades'. I never have? I still don't understand this? I end the year with a premium team, no zero's, sometimes no bench cover in some positions. But my premiums are outscored by other premiums so I don't win. But I never need 4 extra trades, that's tons. 2 at most. But thats 2 extra to spend on sideways trades all season, you dont want to use them up so early just in case. So maybe hold onto them longer, unless you are super super determined to get in Dawes/a rookie etc.
My 'you' changed from 'fenno' to 'maanco' halfway through that paragraph :)
For me, I need to go atley to curnow otherwise I will have to start atley in round 4... no thanks.
(That's as long as curnow is named this week)
On the plus side, curnow is expected to raise around 70k, along with libba.
Just thought of another option for you maanco. Hold foley and use him while you can. When Jack Riewoldt drops his 90-110k because of his zero, you will be able to downgrade foley to a rookie and a rookie up to jack riewoldt.
And you only have to wait two or three more weeks?
Riewoldt > Dawes?
with foley im not sure how he will do the next couple of games as he is playing hawks and collingwood, however i think you will see a sharp increase in price as they are then playing kangas and brisbane... once foley gets some form he will hit 80's on a regular basis. by round 11 i think he will get to over $330k
with curnow he could get dropped any game, even when he does well... its been known to happy to many rookies... i have a few issues with getting curnow because even after he played well the first game he still started on the side and listed as interchange. and with libratore he has a few good midfielders waiting for him to have an average game so they can get in the side.
spite - the 4 extra trades were given due to the 2 extra rounds being played this season. i think trades will be more important than ever during the multi bye rounds.
thanks everyone
wouldn't downgrading Foley now be the better option now i will make 125k and then wait for curnow or libba to rise in price and downgrade. theres another 200k. 150k in one week if they scores what has been.
With Dawes he will always have a good supply so theres another good reason to pick him.
i agree with mish that downgrading foley is probably a mistake but im thinking of going to ward, he scored over 80 in all his nab games and has keept that up in the first 2 rounds. Has as good job security as foley and will be playing against the GC this week so a 100 point score isn't a long shot.
he showed his quality and job security last year with a 103 in the prelim against stkilda,
i personaly really like ward and think his got huge pottential.
but not sure if his better than Foley, although doggies will get bigger scores than richmond.
i think i might just go for the foley to libba and dixion to dawes trade and hope for the best.
DT is no fun without risks!
dude liba has a bye round 4 :-/ you better have cover.
and if you do make trades make sure you do it at least when teams are out.
ahhh stop talking about trading, i got the trigger happy finger i dont want to trade .... but
can somone for or against trading foley show me the maths that suggest i should keep him?
right now i am at
Foley down to Curnow gives me $139500 in the bank. + my 6300 i already have
Curnow will rise in price as long as he plays and it will be fairly significant price increase. so if by rd 8 he has made it to 255k i have 400 k to spend on someone (selwood)
1 trade down i will then require one more trade to change curnow into a keeper at rd 8
or
i keep foley i dont have the money in the bank and i wait for foley to increase in price which will be a while yet but i have through to rd 11 to wait vs rd 8 he i assume will peak at about 330k and so i will need to double trade to change him to a keeper.
i hear you saying do you have cover if curnow gets dropped well right now i am not risking foley on the field when i have libba, harris & swallow benched atm, omg i am talking myself into it someone stop me
yer i know im not stupid i should have cover hopefully ::)
im also now thinking that my trade may be a bit sideways im not sure what i will do.
i haven't changed my team since the end of the nab cup almost didnt have foley but decided not to!
im doing the trade ain order to get selwood and gaz in my team by round 10, i always seem to have excess trades each year but no good bench players to downgrade, hopefully by doing the trades i will have a solid team early and a good bench
? Am I going to sideways trade to cover for a multibye? If I have cover, I won't need those trades. If I don't have cover, am I going to sideways to get cover? 2 more rounds, 2 more trades max. 2 freebies.
i recon people who trade now will end up trading a whole lot more in rounds 4-5-6. so id be careful, especially if you get a suspension or injuiry.

+1 multibye rounds are gonna be where we get a jump on most dters my concern is rd 4 bye the other two should be ok
Guys...I don't care what anyone says..I'm trading Foley and pocketing wads of cash for a future upgrade..
Foley to Curnow ( I already have Libba ) here I come!!
lol at flame :) do whatever you like... just keep kicking ass.
2138, okay score I guess but really should have done better.
my team for round 3:
Goddard, Broughton, Lids, Grimes, Gibbs, Otten, Lower (Stanley (E), Toy, Duigan)
Swan (C), Boyd (VC), Montagna, Bartel, Harris, Swallow (Savage, Bewick, Heppel)
Franklin, Riewoldt, Stevie J, Higgins, Knights, Krak, Tapscott (Darling, Richardson, Matera)
Players in bold could potentially be traded
Trade or not to trade? If Savage is dropped should I pick up Curnow? Libba is not an option as ill have one short i nthe bulldogs/brisbane bye. I dont think ill trade Swallow.
Alreayd posted this once but really want some feedback, cheers lads.
The big question is are me and Mish the only ones not trading this week?

Im not traidng man, see above
Well that makes 3 of us. Will be telling come end of the season who made the right move
I dont have Curnow or Libba but dont have any duds to trade them to.
If Curnow had scored 120 against pies and cats id be all over him. But his two scores have been against Richmond and GC (may as well not even inlcude that score). Far too risky, players are waiting to jump on his spot if he doenst perform.
Libba on the other hand, people are getitng way too excited. One good game against Brisbane and he is DT gold? He is 18, you seriously think he is going to average 85+?
Goddard, Broughton, Lids, Grimes, Gibbs, Otten, Lower (Stanley (E), Toy, Duigan)
Swan (C), Boyd (VC), Montagna, Bartel, Harris, Swallow (Savage, Bewick, Heppel)
Franklin, Riewoldt, Stevie J, Higgins, Knights, Krak, Tapscott (Darling, Richardson, Matera)
There is no point trading if you have a team like mine. However if savage is dropped this week Curnow will come in. If he holds his spot absolutely no point of trading.
i am still undecided, foley to curnow thought i had decided but i havent obviously
Gibbs, Deledio, Goddard, Duigan, Connors, Otten, Stanley, <lower, Smith, Hibberd>
Swan, Pendles, Boyd, Libba, Montagna,Krak <foley, Swallow, Harris>
Sandi, Cox <smith, Bailey>
Goodes, Higgins, Riewoldt, Tapscott, Franklin, Darling, Knights <richardson, matera, Petrie
bold is current issues
any help let me know
i dont see the need for trading anyone yet... only people that are out for me this week is liam anthony (which my bench can replace with his score being a sub). petrie which i did fine round one without. and richardson which has been on my bench the whole time... i dont have any donuts and still getting over 2k so im content for now.
round 4-5-6 should be ok but im sure some rookies will get dropped from their teams which may make it difficult, only way im trading for now is if i have donuts on field or LTI's
ok so the flaw in my working out at the moment and this is what is stopping me from deciding yay or nay, by rd 7 & 8 what would you expect a rookie to be at cash wise? apposed the foley?
i always trade once they have peaked based on BE but i never remember when i start trading

Well that makes 3 of us. Will be telling come end of the season who made the right move
i had a look at the guy who won SC last year and his trades i know its not the same, but he double traded round 1 to get rid of his dead wood and had used 17 or so trades by round 13, than rode out the season with only 3 trades.
yer he must have set him self up early thats why i have realy been considering trading Foley down to a under 100k rookie and then upgradeing one of my fwd rookies to Dawes
but which rookies do i take (curnow, libba, savage) and which rookies do i trade to dawes (richarson, priesta, dixion)?

that much must have rode on luck and had angels looking over his shoulder to only need to use 3 trades from round 13.
or do i take heppell and leave my fwds alone
AHAHAHAHAH!
may have to come to the flip of a coin. (its never failed me yet) it told me to take tapscott over dixion but i took dixion instead

you must have been very unlucky i think i only used 5 trades last year for injuries and had a couple of trades left over last year come round 18 with not much to do with them.
i am not sold on dawes myself could be a masterstroke if it pays off. i missed heppel and want to downgrade foley been thinking about it for 3 days straight still no closer to making a decision to do it.
lol poor chopps!! it could pay off getting dawes but im not willing to take that risk, id rather upgrade to didak later in the season.
and Holzman, i copped 9 injuiries longer than 4 weeks last year and rookies later in the year play less often which really stuffed me up. so i'm trade scared these days, i dont want any more donuts. i hate donuts!! (unless their kryspy Kreme! :-P)

im thinking that at worst dawes will avg low 80's but at best he could avg 105.
im about to flip the coin can someone call for the dawes trade(foley to libba, dixion to dawes)(if it isnt what you called i will trade foley to heppell or libba)
will wait till friday till i make my final descision

what would Dawes need to avg to be in the top 10 fwds?
100-110 forwards dont seem to score as high as they used too, unless your chappy :)
dawes will not average over 100 this year though.
thanks Mish i think i will skip him then.
dawes would be lucky to avg 95
Quote from: maanco on April 06, 2011, 04:37:03 PM
thanks Mish i think i will skip him then.
dawes would be lucky to avg 95
i agree, i could be wrong but i dont think he will average more than 95, no way, thats were didak will kill it, i generally like having 1 premium from strong sides in every position. the only 2 forwards i want to get this season are didak and chapman. not considering anyone else for my forward line as its fairly strong as it is.
i need 3 other fwds will probably go chapman, dids and maybe pav, okeffe or rioli (most likey the frist two and rioli)
but the big question is, is dawes good enogh to be your 7th fwd
its the call your going to have to make :) his not a premium just yet in my eyes. and my theory is only bring in premiums, the pottential premiums in my team are the midpricers.
he is a potentail preimuim 90 for a fwd is a priemium in my books but he is more likey to avg 87 than anything else
at the moment i have, franklin, volt, goodes & higgins as my 95 + keepers (lots of praying going on over here) and want to add didak once his price comes down and also add chappy not sure about a 7 th probably will be pav. i would be stoked to say pav is my 7th forward
I just want to put it out there that I wont be trading this week. When I'm sitting in the top 400 and have no injuries I'd be a raving lunatic to trade at the moment! So that makes four!
is everyone who is considering a trade because they have Foley? i realise some are going to keep him but the people that nope not trading you guys dont have foley do you?
i dont think its a matter of having foley or not chopps... i think people know the consequenses of trading too early in the season... especially with multi rounds coming up... if u get an injuiry or suspension in the next week or 2 you could end up being forced to trade due to the multi rounds and may not have cover.
i hate trading due to having a donut on field.
its currently what has me not trading foley, if i bring curnow in and he has a stinker and gets dropped i am in big trouble rd 4 as i have montagna, boyd and libba already hmm foley to heppel lol
I want Foley out too..but Rd 4 is the problem...If Curnow gets dropped I'm in trouble!!
Agh the good old multiple bye situation. This will certainly shake up the whole competition!!
curnow interchange hey sub anyone??
i think he was interchange last week as well no?
anyone gonna make a move now teams are out?
Swan (its swan), boyd (vc gold coast) or selwood (a small AAMI stadium vs port) captain?
Geelong are played at skilled. but You can go past swanny.
Not touching the team. 24 trades in the bank:
This is how I will line up:
Goddard, Broughton, Grimes, Gibbs, Lids, Lower, Otten (Stanley (E), Duigan, Toy (GC are clueless))
Swan (C), Boyd (VC), Montagna, Bartel, Harris, Heppel (Swallow (E), Bewick, Savage)
Sandi, Cox (Smith, Derickx)
Stevie J, Roo, Franklin, Higgins, Knights, Krak Tapscott (Darling (E), Matera, Richardson)
Next week will be interesting. Boyd, Bewick, Monty out in mids. Will be relying on Savage to play, dont let me down and lose your spot due to a poor game this week. Tempting to trade him to Curnow this week....
hibbert is kinda killing me :( but must keep him for these mutli-rounds, especially if any of the rookies get dropped. but still... not making any trades this week.
hibberd is mmm but i got him in my backlines ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what ever i do will be the wrong thing i reckon
I made one trade, not a big deal. Atley to curnow. Even if he is a sub, he will make ~70k after the first jump. And I just needed him to cover the round 4 multibye. Selwood back in, looking good!
Starting swallow over curnow this week, just have a good feeling about swallow this week :)
mids are
Swan, Pendles, Krak, Montagna, boyd, Harris <swallow, Libba, Foley>
do i need to trade no, should i trade ahhh dunno
trade trade trade! lol na i'm kidding, dont trade, your midfield is super strong.
I have done just 1 trade, I want curnow but no if I be greedy I ll be in strife next week. So I went foley to Heppel so I have mpp for next week left hibberd back do I keep him as dead weight no price change for 5 weeks seems a waste
im making the move from altey to curnow this week and still tossing up between going foley to ward or libba. Leaning towards ward at this stage. I just have this feeling i will ook back and sey this is either the point where i stuffed my season up or saved it. IM ranked outside the top 10k so i have to do something this week.
Is it to greedy going hibberd to curnow I am 7k and feel if I don't make a decent move I am done for overall,
Rookies I have
Smith lower duigan Heppel
Libber Harris swallow krak hibberd
Matera tapscott darling Richardson
So I probably have done fairly well picking these

im droping atley for curnow so as long as he is sub i see no problem in trading out hibberd as he isnt doing anything for you at the moment. If he doesnt come back for 4_ rounds you will be kicking yourself seeing curnow at around 200-250k. Also if you really want you can get hibberd back if/when he plays 2 games.
I agree Holz..I have Hibbard too but I also have Buckley..Is it worth trading these 2 for Curnow and Heppel,,
I also have the spud Foley..I could trade home out for Curnow??
Do I need Heppell???
Next week I have 3 out if I have any issues in Mids I have no cover as krak is my mpp
Stll can't decide who to start out of Matera and Darling. Had Matera starting all week because surely the suns will do better this week but then Darling has been pretty good both weeks and started off on fire last week only to do bugger all in the last half so basicly do I pick Matera and hope GC are better this week or Darling and hope he doesn't have a 2nd half like last week.
Not trading, Savage-Curnow soo tempting!!
I know I have so many tempting trades but im holding srong only 1.5 hours to go.

I have made one!!! Holding off from 2!!
officialy made the foley/atley into ward/curnow trade.
Good move Holz..I've done Foley to Curnow
Dont have Curnow or Libba but im holding. See my team on the page before. Think I will benefit in the long run, Curnow wouldnt make my starting field anyway.
nor mine..but he will make heaps of cash for a future upgrade...
no trades this week for me, but my team needs to lift as im the lowest scorer in the league :-\

i am glad i did at this stage just wish i had made curnow my captain over swannie lol come on swannie
swannie 61 at 3/4 time he better go mental in the 4th quater need a good captain score
comon Krak get 70+
Simpson and Gibbs need big quaters too
Sorry guys almost looks like im already letting yas down :(
nah i am not doing well wish i had put duigan and curnow on now damm it

yeah never know, swallow could pull out a 12o this round. Im just annoyed at starting krak over curnow. At least im not worried about having to start him next week, plus i cant see this hurting his chances of continuing to play.
i am not heaps heaps worried as i want curnow as a cash cow and he delivered, i just wish i hadnt kept the faith with Krak after a 48 even tho it was sub affected. libba is my other rookie so hopefully he smashes it against GC
Sorry lads, I didnt pick up Curnow. Everyone seemed against the idea of Savage-Curnow. Hopefully Savage pulls out a 80+ then I wont mind too much.
lower, otten and Stanley are starting for me. Not a good week :(
the Foley to ward trade isn't looking to flash at the moment.
im going to have a shocking week all my starting rookies are doing horribly and my bench is on fire. i have krak lower, harris ,matera on the field with guys like curnow, stanley, smith, duigan on the bench. There goes over about 100 points.
Got Swallow, Harris, Otten, Lower all on field, then Prestia on the bench who is outscoring all of them :(
This isn't going to be a pretty week.
I'm still worried about broughton.

Only plus side is one of my uniques in Dangerfield are doing well :)
i picked all the wrong cheapies to play
so far.
Ottens & lower out preformed by all three of my bench players
must say quiet nice problem duigan stanley and smith all 75 +
libba and Krak should of picked curnow over krak or atleast swallow.
No idea what to do with Broughton. No good options for 340k really....

just keep him, give him some more time. Keep Symes on your radar ;)
Had the same sorta problems too chopps
Looking a little dodgy here too. Bruce subbed on & has 22 at the 3 qtr time.
Would be happy with around 60. :P
Wish I still had Symes but him not being named first round so I had to out him for Adcock.
I want him back! Looking at upgrading Duigan or Stanley to him in the coming weeks. But that's only a speculative statement. ;)

Same here...
I'd be happy to crack 2000 this week!!!
i am looking shaky to make 2 k, DAN CONNORS AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh should just play rookies they seem better
1279.
8 to come. Bartel (110), Montagna (110), Goddard (110), Riewoldt (100), Heppel (80), Tapscott (80), Stevie J (100), Grimes (100).
2000+ and I'm happy. If all my players get within 10 of that predicted score I'm doing very well.
1559 with 5 to come.
tapscott, volt, montagna, heppel and goddard
some one will need to stand up for me to make it to 2 k,
the choices i made on who to bench and who not to has cost me upto 130 pts
ouch... i wont be making 2k this week :(
all my bench rookies did better than the ones on field :-/
same as me mish i think i might need to go with highest scoring avg gets fielded now
well i thought i could scrape in a 2100+ score untill grimes and tapscott combined for a 100, at least i had adcock so it wasnt too bad.
Grimes and Tapscott hurt me too!!
I hope Heppell under performs!!! I don't have him and all my opponents do!!
....Well this is great. :'(
Multi bye's coming up boys. So we won't be seeing 2.2 K anytime soon.
Unless your lucky or have GREAT COVER...... :-[
i recon ill do better next week with the multi-byes than i did this week lol
heppell needs to get 22 more points than joey for me to win against u flame :P
need 196 between Heppell, God and Roo in the last half to crack 2000, not gonna happen i dont think :-\
i need 50 points from heppel and montagna in the last quater u win 4/5 leagues lol.
cant even predict the league rankiings this week.. i recon a lot of the top leagues would have stuffed up!
and for all those people that got rid of broughton for enright! all i can say is LOL!

i dont think anyone picked good rookies, i had guys like harris and matera stinking it up on the field aswell with i think 4 rookies scoring 75+ on the bench (including curnows 100).
Im losing alot of quality players goddard,adcock, boyd,ward,bewick, voldt, higgins but at least i gain anthony, petrie, richardson and curnow off the bench.
I really didnt think the foley to ward trade, in retrospect i should have just got in libba. If this cost me getting in selwood round 7 than im not going to be happy. foley to ward almost would have guranteed selwood in. by round 7 libba will probably be around the same price.
I'm not going to trade until after round 5.
I'll be using only the 1. And that is to get Didak when he reaches full match fitness.
i have connors omg
I got 1982.
Duigan, Curnow and Prestia were my emergencies. Only time I ever wanted a late withdrawal :(
1988 here which, like everyone elses scores, is a disappointment. However in the context of the round it appears to be more than competitive.
Quick update on the trade front which I posted early last week.
I did the Conca -> Curnow and Buckley -> Heppell trades (after 5 pm Friday of course). It must be noted that I only ever trade after Round 2 to grab the rookies I missed and eject those that IMO aren't up to the mark.
I think Buckley may struggle to get back in so I deem that a wise trade and I think trading Conca out has also been justified at this stage and not just for the 40k I pocketed from the trade alone.
One last thing. While everyone has their opinion on whether or not to trade after Round 2 the one thing I am certain of is that it is madness if you do not at least consider trading.
All in all though still showing up to be a very tight league and all the best over the coming weeks.
Next week this how I will line up:
Gibbs, Lids, Grimes, Broughton, Otten, Lower, Stanley (Duigan (E), Goddard, Toy)
Swan (C), Bartel (VC), Harris, Swallow, Savage, Heppel (Boyd, Montagna, Bewick)
Sandi, Cox (Smith (E), Derickx)
Buddy, Stevie J, Knights, Krak, Tapscott, Darling, Richardson (Matera (E), Higgins, Riewoldt)
1800 score written all over it.

Haha mine is the same except I have selwood not bartel, and I need to switch a backman with hibberd and play duigan in the backs to not get any zeros. All in all, a pretty weak team :S

Ahhh well, atleast we get our bad round out the way early.
slipped a few rounds for me rd 4 will be a shocker 5 and 6 i think will be not to bad. 7 will be a bit iffy keen to have a new midfielder by then
So your all trading after one bad week? I only slipped about 100 spots this week.
Hold 'em fellas.....
all round pretty happy with my side bar this weeks score and that was more my fault for playing the wrong rookies, 100 - 150 point difference with the right rookie to rookie swaps.
any help with dan connors? i picked him knowing full well this could be the case he was factored in my backline as a risk so what to do with him now he has already lost me 50 k (roughly) and his BE is 138 so another 20k price drop coming, issue is if i were to trade him i cant see for who,
dont want enright because of the forward tag (had him last yr) is there anyone else i could look at?
had thought of adcock after this round, issue there is one dud for an injury prone player isnt really appealing
god damit i got a showerty score this week!! wow!!
still i dont think i will need to do any trades this week, every bench player of mine did better than the ones on field. :-/
should pick up next week.
p.s. well done boys, only dropped a few spots after a shocker week. we did well.

I dont think anyone will trade after this week, it was a wierd week where good players played bad and vice versa. For m personally i went up 3000 places in the rankings, so im happy.
at this stage only trade will be if mids need cover that shouldnt be an issue bar injury, i have to start connors on the field dont I, they are playing north so i feel a bit better its hard starting your worst player on the field coz he should come good
hopefully anthony doesnt get the sub this week!!! last thing i need in a weakened squad is subs!

its up to you, i just cant justify having a $350+ player on the pine.
Me either but faith in Connors is at a low

i think you should be playing both, why arent you doing that. Whats your backline?
backline is
Gibbs, heppel, deledio, lower, duigan, stanley, smith. bench ottens connors and goddard
Does league ranking still count for the next 3 rounds? Considering no league games are played?

Goddard, Lids, Broughton, Grimes, Gibbs, Otten, Lower (Stanley, Duigan, Toy)
Swan, Monty, Bartel, Boyd, Harris, Heppel (Swallow, Bewick, Savage)
Riewoldt, Stevie J, Knights, Franklin, Higgins, Krak, Tapscott (Matera, Darling, Richardson)
24 trades. Worried im letting the team down a bit by not trading. Anything you lads would suggest?
Also pick 3 to start from:
Duigan
Otten
Stanley
Lower
Toy
2 from:

Darling
Matera

i wouldnt trade anyone yet, but if i were you i would do a double trade in both round 7 and 8 to get in 2 extra premiums, maybee selwood in round 7 and didak in round 8. I think i can only afford doing one of these moves, not sure if i want to be 6 down by round 8.
1. Lower, 2. Otten v Port, 3. Stanley/Duigan
1. Darling 2. Richardson

+1 if anyone is letting the league down its me, but im still certain my team is good enough to keep scoring over 2k on a 1 bye week. will be making my first trade in round 7, bar LTI's or donuts on field.
my premium players out for multi-bye rounds.
Round 4 I'll have: Goddard, Montagna, Riewoldt and Higgins missing. (can cover pretty easily)
Round 5 It'll be: Grimes, D Cox, Sylvia, (Can cover very easily)
Round 6 will be the killer: Broughton, Franklin (no problems covering them)
overall its round 4 where i will be mostly affected.. but as you can tell, im not too fussed with the multi-bye rounds.
who are yours? and do you have sufficient cover for them?
My players out are
Rd 4: Goddard, Montagna, Boyd, Libba, Higgins, Riewoltd (mid field is a little iffy no cover what so ever)
Rd 5: Goodes, Cox, Tapscott, Darling (no cover issue here at this stage)
Rd6: Lower, Sandilands,Franklin ( i made sure i wasnt going to get smashed in rds 4 and 6)
at the moment its the mids in rd 4 i am a little worried about but swan, pendlebury, goodes, harris, swallow, curnow should all play **fingers crossed**
so need some feedback would you change this starting line up for rd 4?
also going to give connors another week if he fails it will be a straight swap or thereabouts to adcock
Gibbs, Deledio,Connors, Heppel, Duigan, Stanley, Smith <God, Lower (E), Ottens>
Swan, Pendlebury, Goodes, Curnow, Harris, Swallow <Boyd, Joey, Libba>
Cox, Sandilands <Smith (E), Bailey>
Buddy, Knights, Petrie, Tapscott, Darling, Krakouer, Richardson, <Higgins, Volt, Matera (E)>
would you make any changes?

whos going to cover sandilands and cox for rounds 5-6? i dont think you can link bailey and smith to petrie can you? you better hope smith plays both games... fraser is back in this week and they have a few talls waiting to take his spot as well. plus you have to remember he is a rookie and wont be able to play 22 games this season.
i dont see any reason to make any trades this week as you have sufficient cover for now, wait until teams come out and if anyone isnt playing you may be forced to make a trade as you dont want any donuts on field.

I think smith has probably one of the best job securities of the GC rookies. With fraser coming back he might not score aswell but he should be playing in both the games. I woudnt be suprised if smith stays the number 1 ruck and fraser is more a forward, or it could be a simular thing as hille and ryder, and they seem to score quite well.
This was my thinking plus I didn't want plus couldnt afford the tippet link also no good if I trade Petrie which I intend to do
Heppell not names again! Irons dropped... hmmm what to do? any suggestion?
I think you mean Hibbard Mish. Not sure how your team is looking but will have a look and see if I can offer any suggestions
Dang!
I'll have no mid bench cover this week, (Okay everywhere else though ::)) why ain't Hibbo getting a game anywhere...Not in the VFL either but his not on the injury list. WTF.

lol ye i did mean Hibberd... hmm what to do with him :-\
can you do anything with him? did you miss the boat on a gc north or crow rookie?
only replacement i can think of is broadie smith or coad, although they dont have MPP... i already have $100k in the bank without any trades, so dont know how important it would be to trade him off. smith could end up a similar player to curnow and dont really want to miss the boat.
I'd trade hibberd but I didn't have cash in the bank
We all know how smart you are with your trades Mish so if you make a trade now it won't kill you later in the season because you aren't the kind of person who will go wasting trades. I don't know much about smith even though I live in Adelaide but I don't see him loosing his spot in the side any time soon especialy with all the injuries Adelaide have. As for Coad he was a very good player in the SANFL before heading to the GC I don't know why he didn't get a gig rd1 but as you saw from his score last week he will be a decent player. Their is no right or wrong pick when it comes to these 2 players just up to you really. Both good investments
No Brown, could mean the FB job for Coad...I heard that somewhere. I just cannot remember from where. :-\
Brown wasn't playing at full back anyway so I don't know how Brown being out would mean Coad playing Full Back
Who should i start out of Petrie, Swallow and Richo, im thinking Swallow and Richo as, Petrie might struggle in the ruck against Sandi
Sweating on cover only have matera forward and smith ruck , lower out sucks a bit
krak is fair quiet
420 from Krak, Swan(C) and Delidio :)
krak tricked as all with his round 1 score. i managed 300 from 3 guys but that's only because of swanny. I seriously need to getin pendles and dids round 8, collingwood look unstopable.
krak krak krak 40 points your lucky
541 from capt swanny, pendles, deledio and of course Krak, 40 come on
take Krak out thats 501 from three :D also krak is gonna become dids way quicker then he or i imagined
has krak peaked?
Do the next 3 weeks go towards league ranking?
u would think so, as its based on avg score per league but not sure
302 from 2. Swan captain and krak.
Umm a little question, I made a team this week and filled it with melbourne and collingwood players mostly with only 80k benchmen, just to test what would happen. Obviously I wanted to get the highest score possible but I never thought I could win by making a team for a specific round. Just say it won the weekly, what would happen?
It is currently...
Deledio,Newman,Swan(C),Pendles,Beams,Dawes,Cloke for 893/7. :O
who's name you make it in>?
380 from 2 players. so far so good, had krak on bench this week.
I could have put Krak on the bench for Matera. Chose not too. ::)
krak is a strange player, he loves getting people excited and than ends up with 40 points every week! :(
lucky i got him on the pine... and looks like he will stay there for a very long time lol.
happy with the way all my players are going today :)

mine :S It's full of midpricers mostly, was expecting a fail :S
I played tapscott, krak and richardson over darling this week :S I can't pick them!!!
Damn Krak and now Darling playing well! I had Krak out for Darling too but then changed it again just before lockout!! >:(
who needs premiums when you have rookies, all my rookies are stepping up i have duigan 49, heppel 48, curnow 44, and darling on 62 at half time. Looking like a great week franklin and gibbs at 70 at half time with swans captaincy is helping me alot. Puty krak scored so poorly
is everyone else on fire or is it just me, im on 970 from 10 players (including my captain). my rookies have been crazy so far today,
heppel 90
duigan 93
curnow 90
darling 100
guys like goddard, voldt, higgins might not be able to make it back in next week :)
880/8 (swan captain)
that other team is on 1406/13 (swan c)
the round 4 of pain, is looking pretty good this week, never thought with goddard,adcock, boyd, ward,higgins and voldt on the bench i would still pull a decent score. hopefully i can move up the ranking this week and especially next week with only grimes and cox out.
981 for 9. Swan=C. ;)
Thoughts on Savage (approx 164k)-Libba (158k)????
Past two scores:
Libb: 116, 76
Savage: 80, 35
BE:
Libba: -69
Savage: 11
Who to come:
Libba: Freo, collingwood, Sydney, Richmond
Savage: Geelong, bye, port, saints, sydney
Job security:
Libba: Should play most if not all games
Savage: poor game today, will be dropped imo
Done deal I think. And I even make a couple of k.
I havent used a trade yet.
Would leave me with:
Goddard, Gibbs, Lids, Broughton, Grimes, Duigan, Otten (Lower, Stanley, Toy)
Swan (C), Bartel, Montagna, Boyd, Heppel, Libba (Harris, Swallow, Bewick)
Cox, Sandi (Smith, Derickx)
Stevie J, Franklin, N.Riewoldt, Higgins, Knights, Tapscott, Darling (Krak, Matera, Richardson)
I have 5 out due to bye, only 2 cover matera and smith currently on 1209 from 11 with capt played I am pumped at this stage :)
Krak and Savage both on field. Nuff said. FMDT. Ohh..and no Pendles or Didak....
damn who would think with connors on the bench along with volt, higgins, goddard, joey and boyd out after 11 players if you told me i was on 1209 and i had a 40 i would tell you to stop dreaming
Boak better get a ton this week.
If he does, It's all because of him being front page of The Record.
1390
To come:
Sandi (100), Grimes (100), Broughton (80), Tapscott (80), Richardson (70), Stanley (70), Harris (70), Swallow (70)
2000+ very good with Boyd, Higgins, Montagna, Goddard, Riewoldt all out!
Savage and Krak never on field again.

Fraser better play!! otherwise my emergency is hale who got 24!! :-(
1237/12 (swan captain)
5 guns and 5 rookies to come though :/
Hoping for 2000 this week, as this is my bad week. (5 premiums out)
1549 with Stanley Harris swallow sandi tapscott Petrie Richardson 65 Avg I ll crack 2 k, stanley better do well worst back line score is 87

But is it needed? I see your team and you have great cover (Harris, Swallow, Bewick)
Just ride him out as a lesser cash cow (might take a few more rounds than libba) but you save a trade. Doing well with no trades used. It's really not a necessary trade. But if you're close to the top overall, then it may be good to hold your spot only.
far out!! has such an amazing run this week until the Melb vs GC match! :(

I've been watching live, if you are worried about swallow, harris or sylvia don't be.
Sylvia has been near everything just Melbourne are going long to the forwards instead of passing it out to him. I can see him lighting it up in the second half. Grimes is the only worry, it's just not coming down there often enough.
Haha sylvia had a 90 DT last half. Grimes had 60-70, swallow also did very well. Harris dropped off after an awesome 2nd quarter, hope you still are going well Mish!!!
Need 216 to crack 2000 with richardson, broughton and sandi to play. Quite happy considering this is my bad week with 5 premium out.
For those keeping tabs, that other team is on 2040 with rawlings and suban to play.
Only need 150 from Sandi, A.Swallow & Richo to get 2k.
This is with 4 premos+Adcock out.
Bloody Prestia getting the tagging jobs!
Any news on Coad? This is worry for me....

Heard from the chat that someone said he didn't really hurt his hammy that bad, it was just a precaution... resting him for the last quarter.

They combined for a total of 3 in the first quarter. Awesome.
haha thanks spite... feeling much better after the melbourne vs GC game now!! im on 1978 with anthony, petrie, cam richo & broughton to go.
Need 44 from sandi/richarson/broughton in the final term to crack 2000. Such an average round from me :(
I will give broughton one more week to perform given suban is out. If adcock continues to dominate, might look at trading to him. Saves me a premium during that bye week too. (I probably won't do this, but just so frustrated with him argh!)
I need my 3 players to get 14 points in the last QTR to get 2000.
Looking at my first trade after multi rounds.
Pittard>Simpson. Or Harris/Bewick>Simmo.
Just need $ 112,100 worth of price
changes. With B/E of 151 for Simmo....Yeah 2 weeks.
How good does fyfe look at the moment. :O
QuoteHow good does fyfe look at the moment. :O
Not bad..... :o
Ok just passed the 2k mark. :)
Looking forward to having god, montagna, boyd, higgins and roo back though :D
2084. Pretty happy considering had major outs.
Loved the 48 point QTR from Andy. (Swallow, not Krak)
In saying that I think Krak's goose is cooked, he will be dropped to get fit. I f not, he will benched next week in my team. >:(
not sure how i can go from 970 from 9 players + my captain to not even cracking 2000. looking like my overall chances have just ended. Broughton is absolutely killing my team 32 less than my second lowest defender.
QuoteBroughton is absolutely killing my team
I'm thinking about getting him in.
At this stage a straight swap: Stanley>Broughton is on the cards in the coming weeks..... :P
his postion change isnt helping him and im thinking of doing something drastci this week, my back bench players are beating his score and with adcock and goddard back in have to drop some players.
I have goddard, gibbs, grimes, adcock as my 4 certain starters and heppel duigan and otten all ook about as good as broughton.
Im thinking broughton to toy as he is scoring very well, 50 when he was sub in a half and 75 this week and than to catch up some points go ward to montagna.
Will turn my mids into Swan, Montagna, Bartel, Boyd, L.Anthony, Curnow (Harris, bewick, krak).
it will make me 4 trades down but i need to do something now. Than when i double trade again in round 7 to get in selwood i should have a strong enough mid to start making me some points.
Okay go for it!
It seems you have your made your mind up.
But trading in Ward then getting rid of him so soon....Yeah, the Foley>Ward trade.....

its something im sitll thinking about yeah the foley to ward trade wasnt that good, howeveri actually dont want to drop ward, its just hte only move i can make to get monty. i gain 220k from the broughton move , so i would have 240k in the bank. Pity i didnt move him only earlier than i could have gone krak to monty.
something i have been thinking about is broughton to carrots, carrots has a shocker when a tag is onvolved however it seems he is being let go and has huge score most of the time.
ahh dissapointing round again wouldve got 2100+ if i played the right rookies :-\
2016 was my final score.
Only sylvia, grimes and cox out next week.
Are any of you watching Hodge? Might be a good upgrade target soon.
2062 Fairly happy with that considering the outs i had, now to work out what is happening with connors and or krak
Only 1960 for me..disappointing today..ended up being 1 short..ranking will slip...
Hopefully the league went well..I reckon anything above 2000 will do well..
26th ranked well done guys
The league did go well...
Great work!!
i recon everyone got over 1900 this week... which would mean we had a good week..
personally got 2085... thats 200 better than last week with goddard, montagna, higgins and reiwoldt out. weird.

very nice! wish i joined a FF league, my leagues are sucking. people dont pull their weight/take it serious. we are about 461st i think?

nice work guys ;D
all good highly recommend it, this is my first year in a highly competitive league its bloody good
2084 not bad considering the Coad injury and Prestia....
whats everyone doing with Broughton?! he is killing me! my rookies are doing better than him... he is playing a different roll this year which is a pain, although now that suban is out he may get into that role again? or will ibbotson take that running defender roll?
broughton is playing good footy just bad dt , so is a role change gonna happen?
i dont have broughton but i do have connors so same sort of boat except connors just sucks.
i have been thinking Gram for a straight swap or down connors to another rookie and upgrade someone like Krak if they get dropped but that would leave me rookie heavy in the back line
i was thinking the same thing, but i dont want so many cash cows/rookies in defence, i think i have enough of them there.
although freo is playing the dogs this week, and most teams score well in DT vs the doggies as they are a running team which could help broughton.
and with connors, ye i dont know what you should do with him, he should come good... maybe wait this week, he is playing the kangas and every team has been smashing us, so he could get a good score.
i am only risking 20 k drop if i keep him but another potential 40 pointer lol
this shower scoring has come from playing hawks saints blues and pies and he has north brisbane freo and the dogs as his next 4 might keep the faith
If lower isn't named. I still don't think I will trade out Coad.
I'll cop his zero.
failing keeping connors could down him to toy the up krak to selwood as his b/e is under 100

no point of getting selwood yet, his got a bye round 6 and his price wont fluctuate much by then anyways.
as for coad, i dont see a point for anyone keeping him, either way you will need to get rid of him sooner or later as he wont be coming back till round 18 which by then you wont need anymore cash.
Quotes for coad, i dont see a point for anyone keeping him
Might use him to downgrade to a rookie coming in mid way. Make me maybe $ 20,000
Or I could trade him...I'll wait for teams. If either Hibbo or Lower is named. Then no worries. 8)
good point on selwood that crosses that idea off
I think Krak has nearly out done his usefulness.
Hang on! Was he ever useful to begin with!
I could have picked a rookie that was so much cheaper!!
he got 90 round one, then decided to piss everyone off coz they kept putting him on field lol.
Quotehe got 90 round one,
Yeah, "Happy Days."
WOOO. >:(
like last week i am in two minds to pull the trigger on connors, krak and connors can hold another week with little or no loss
im droping broughton to toy as i dont even want to start broughton this week with duigan,heppel and otten all coming off 87+ games and i would probably be more comfortable starting toy against port than broughton. I was going to upgrade ward to montagna but that hurts abit as i just got in ward and he should go up a bit and montagna should come down abit.
Im tempted just to do the broughton to toy trade than hold off for a week than do the ward to montagna trade. leaving me with enought money to downgrade duigan to jacobs and krak to selwood round 7.
i have been thinking for a while (2 weeks) connors down and my worst performing rookie to any premo
i'd get rid of Broughton Holz. It seems as if his role has changed...
Is this crazy??
Otten to Adcock????? I have the cash..can do it in 1 trade??
D.Swallow, Libba, Prestia, Harris - Need one to start ??
Krak, Matera, Prestia, Richardson, Petrie - Need three to start ??
And obviousley Prestia/Krak can only be said once ;)
so the league that is coming 20th has an average league rating of 2060.95 and ours is 2055 so were not far behind, just need a good round :)
QuoteD.Swallow, Libba, Prestia, Harris - Need one to start ??
Krak, Matera, Prestia, Richardson, Petrie - Need three to start ??
And obviousley Prestia/Krak can only be said once ;)
Hm, Swallow if you want a 90 or maybe a 50.
Harris for solid score...
Swallow in yah mids me thinks.
Prestia, Krak/Matera & Petrie for me. Leave Richo....

thats a pretty bold move after otten just got a 90 and has a low BE.
your gonna trade out what was a cash cow at a be of -9??
richardson, matera or krak which two on the field?
Even though Krak looked like crap last week and did nothing you have stick with him should score higher than the other 2. I would say Richardson but will be a bit of a coin toss. No real right or wrong answer between Richardson and Matera.

im sticking with richardson, his playing richmond, the game will be a high posession game with lots of big scores i recon.

lol you love boak! you mention him at the end of every week lol... lets hope he does well, most of GC mature aged players have been doing well so far. especially rischatelli!
guys, ive decided i'm going to take the risk and keep broughton on my team, on the field!
the way i see it is he will average higher than most rookies at the very least. and if he isnt doing good by say round 10ish i should have plenty of money by then to trade him in for another premium, by that strage my defence should have strengthen without many rookies left.
Quoteuys, ive decided i'm going to take the risk and keep broughton on my team, on the field!
Good. I would do the same. You know I had Broughton locked in for most of pre-season....But swapped for Bruce....
Quotelol you love boak! you mention him at the end of every week

after Selwood.

good stuff may pay off with the amount of people jumping off
got home with around 7 minutes before lockout and fixed up my team (subbing on goddard,boyd,montagna,riewoldt,higgins) but didn't have time to do the VC loophole... Swan it is!
Good luck everyone, lets get back into the top 20!!!
Good work Spite....
No trades for me this week!!! Otten stays and Krak!!!
Good luck for the weekend boys!!
im getting rid of broughton for toy, im not going to have a player worth 300k who im considering putting on the bench, with guys like duigan averaging 70+. I could have gone ward to tags but im holding off for 1 week hoping the points i lose are compensated by the money i gain from ward price increasing and hopefully tags dropping. 70 at half time for tags isnt helping on both counts.
on a side note broughton isnt only annoying me with his scores but also the fact that he has made adcock no longer a unique. Adcock is my pick of the season.
dam should have got in tags this round he will go down less than 10k after that performance, ward better get 80+ or its going to really hurt.
I should've got Adcock!! Here's hoping Otten tons it up this week!!!
damn looks like adcock was the go i was in the same boat holz i couldnt stomach putting a 300 k player in connors on the field i was happier with a rookie so i traded him to gram,
toss up between gram and adcock, might need to look at adcock shortly he is ripping it up and has a fairly good run coming up mmm how can i get him in
Petrie?
Ouch! Missed the adcock boat! Stuck with good ol broughton :/
319/3, could have been 438/4 if I had adcock :S
24 Trades
At this stage:
Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, Grimes, Duigan, Otten (Lower, Stanley, Toy)
Swan, Bartel, Montagna, Boyd, Swallow, Heppel (Savage, Harris , Bewick)
Sandi, Cox (Smith, Derickx)
Chappy,Riewoldt, Higgins, Stevie J, Knights, Darling, Tapscott (Matera, Krak, Richardson)
Thoughts on straight swap Savage-Libba if Savage is dropped and Libba is named???
oops huge mistake i did a miss calc and just realised i didnt need montagna to drop in value to get in selwood.
In my humble opinion Savage is in real danger....
Also, all you fellas saying; "Should have got Adcock."
At least wait until the Freo match, and if he fails...Go on ahead and say what is above. 8)
i reckon savage if dropped change him
i didnt need to wait windigo i didnt have broughton :p right now though i am pumped with an 84 instead of connors.
funny thing is connors spot was a toss up between connors, broughton, duffield or gram only had a 25 % chance of getting that one right

Last year Swan was held to 80. Think that is a fair shut down.
i'm so good at missing the awesome boats, libba, curnow and now adcock. still stuck with broughton! dam u broughton! pull a ton this week!
QuoteLast year Swan was held to 80. Think that is a fair shut down.
That was last year. Things will be different....He can't be tamed! ::)
lol its true... the way collingwood are going, they are destroying everything in their path... although against carlton they only won by 30odd points. and thats the only half decent team they have played so far... be interesting to see how they go against the bombers or a stronger side than mid table team.
Dane Swan for the Brownlow.
His kicking goals, that will help him out....But Pendlebury is a better player. Just my opinion.
Just look at Kane Cornes, racks up the possies but still gets dropped. Sometimes it really isn't about "How many you get."
love the way Pendles does his thing....but Swan is just killing it this year so far - got to be catching the umpires eye?? and not sure if too many other pies are going to get the 3 points in games so far....
Okay, just made my first trade of the year. Savage-Libba.
Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Grimes, Broughton, Duigan, Otten (Lower, Stanley, Toy)
Swan, Bartel, Montagna, Boyd, Swallow, Heppel (Libba, Harris , Bewick)
Sandi, Cox (Smith, Derickx)
Chappy,Riewoldt, Higgins, Stevie J, Knights, Darling, Tapscott (Matera, Krak, Richardson)
Hope it pays off, I think Savage will be dropped and that Libba will hold up his average of 80+. Here's hoping!!

Stanley/Z. Smith :S
I don't like this game. :(
I guess it was out of swallow/harris or bewick (injured) so you can forget the swallow :/

next week should be better i should have a bit of an advantage with only franklin and sandi out also lower but he isnt starting for me atm anyways then rd 7 might bite pendles and swan but should be in time to bring in another midfielder
C. Richardson. I have him. Petrie, I don't have him.
I'm going to go cry now. On track for a 1600 :/
Hold yah head up fellas. Only new teams will get the big scores. We are in for the long run. None of us will slip to much in the rankings.. ;)

927/12 with Swan C & Krak's baked donut. Richo's 14, that's my seasoning. :D
Loved that I kept faith with Foley and Petrie and saved my trades. Has saved my week. Should hopefully get to 1900. Projected 1990 on assistant coach but have a crack doughnut so will bring that down.

970/13 i had toy and richo pull out a 50 combined so that did some major damage looks like my overall chance is long gone, Now new aim top 5k and take out the league.
holz top 5k leagues mine :D i got 1357 / 15 got mainly the guns to come home, swan, pendles, sandi, franklin, boyd, higgins & heppel need a 91 avg to make 2k i think i am in with a fair chance
not even 1k for 13 players is horrible, but if my 10 remaining guys get there average i still hit 2k.
super guns are coming
Swan (C), Bartel, Didak, Boyd, Sandilands, Kranklin, Stevie J, Higgins, Heppel ooh yeah.
a couple of rookie changes and i would actually be on track for 2150.
I cant believe Adcock and Petrie outscored Anthony, Richardson, Gibbs, Duigan and Toy if you told me at the start of the round to pick who would score higher i would have backed the 5 at 0 to 1.
I have had enough of anthony so round 7 i turn him into selwood and drop tapscott for mzungu to get dids into my crippling forward line to get forward rookies off the field.
i am project as 2109 got a krak donut (richo 14, still a donut in my eyes) there but if they hit their avg then 2100 mite be achievable
hope swannie bust out a big one for you guys as capt , i took the safe option of joey as capt didnt like swans history for bombers

i did the same thing! sticking to joey. as for projected scores assistant coach tells me 1994 but thats based on broughton getting 78!! tough ask the way his going lol.
Fenno! i'm with you, so glad i have only made 1 trade so far and kept petrie... although i never had foley but most people were silly getting rid of him, although curnow is still killing it and a lot of people got him cept for ME! :( and i dont have libba either! :( or Adcock for that matter! lol. but i do have 23 trades left! :)
this is a joke my dad made a team purely to win round 6 so had 4 donuts this week in sylvia, cox, tapscott and grimes and he has bench players this week but didnt even bother to put them on. he is on 1800 with 2 players left to play. he got 1800 from 17 players!!!!, maybee he should have gone for the weekly this week.
Has guys like pendles, tags, petrie nad his 2 lowest players are didad and gibbs.
this is his current line up its crazy, has been trading every round and will do 2 more this round.
Gibbs, Carrots, Grimes, Deledio,Goddard, Heppel, Stanley (80k, 80k, 80k)
Swan, Pendles, Stanton, Boyd, Montagna, Curnow (Krak, 80, 80k)
Cox, Petrie (80k,80k)
Syliva, Didak, Higgins, Tapscott, Voldt, Harvey, Knights (Matera, 80k, 80k)
i think next week the plan was to go krak to 80k and tapsoctt to J.Riewoldt now thats a crazy team. Hopefully guys like pendles and petrie didnt use all there luck up this round.
If my remaining players average 99, I will hit 1800.
After thinking I was a chance of 1700 before the Richmond v North game I have gone
Foley - 108
Petrie - 143
Heppel - 107
Swan(c) - 104(208)
Pendles - 166
with Bartel, Boyd, Sandi and Buddy left I am pretty much a sure thing for 1900 and if those four can ave 110 which isn't impossible will reach 2000. Will be many ahead of my but after looking like 1700 and now a chance of 2000 im pretty blood happy.

That's awesome. I hope all 4 of them average 110. Will help me reach 1850 :P
higgins, franklin, sandi & boyd what would you expect them to score ???
higgins 80 average is 103
Franklin 80 average is 96
Sandi 90 average is 100
Boyd 110 average is 110
i want 360 avg is 409
is that unreasonable?
if i get anywhere near or over 360 i will score 1734 + 360 total 2094
shoot me down if you think this wont happen but i think i am in with a chance for a decent score even with a richardson 14

i think 400+ is what you should expect, i need probably 500 from those guys to crack 2000.
360 is very reasonable. I think your a good chance for 2100+ and thats just massive this week
Could get my best score of the year.
1604 with 6 to come
Boyd
Franklin
Higgins
Selwood
Stevie J
Lower
Might get 2100-2200
your a good chance to push mid to high 2100 i reckon
i have worked it out my team is good i just cant pick the bench properly. My team is worth over 9 mil and my bench averages around 75 points.
once i do my upgrades and dont have to play rookies my team should fire.
yea holz my team is the same except my good players seem to be out on byes :D
Have had that problem myself all season.
This week have matera on the bench and Richo playing.
(missing out on 70 points there)
Happy with 1931 sofar and 3 to play
my dads team scored 2043 with 4 donuts, thats ridicolous. Instead of getting 80k bench players if he had gone a couple of 100k ones he could have got a 2300 score this week. only 3 players got under 80, didak stanley and gibbs.
To cap off my brilliant week, I had broughton.
My score is 1545. I'm not saying how many left because it's just too embarrassing. I'm really sorry about this round guys, its going to hurt our average :'(
spite i ll share my points with you we will even out to two ok scores so it wont matter or you cover me when i have a shower week dont worry about it, you have three or so? so you should be in the 1800's? even that out with my score which i am hoping to be 2180 or so thats two decent scores in a crap week

Don't worry Spite..I'm looking at 1900 this week...A few subs, outs and wrong bench choices have cost me too!!
Selwood is helping me a bit, which is a positive :)
My remaining 3 players need to average 119 for me to hit 1900 :S
i thought i was doing horrible this week but im going to finish on 2032 its pretty good for starting toy and richardson and having dids and anthony score only 68 each.
2046 :(
1923....
Krak, Richo & Bruce really giving me headaches.
I don't envy Boak, "Analysts" say that he would be a star in a decent team and it's hard being the only decent mid at Port. Kane Cornes isn't even playing..... ???
1856 - two donuts (prestia and krak) along with richo's 14.
Broughton to adcock this week is what I'm thinking. Although I want to get Jroo in while I can, but then won't be able to get adcock. I'm in trouble here :/
Adcock will be more solid in the long term...Injury free.
J Roo, may go missing games but then can kick a bag and get the 110+
got 1991 this week with richos 14 :( ahhh well...
Has everyone made trades? I haven't, but I may have to, but no-one likes my Vince theory...
got 2186 so pretty happy there, looking at my first upgrade shortly who are you guys eying off and how soon?
i have made trades as i missed a few things in selection and screwed up with connors
Quoteeying off and how soon?
I can get Vince with a double.
Krak> A named rookie. Hoping that Scott follows through with his promise to cull players from Nth's starting list.
Then Bewick>Vince.
Premature for Bewick but......Is vince a liable option? No-one else thinks so. I gave stats from last year, he ave's 99 from his last 5 games a season and his lowest score was a 50 odd last year. He is cheap as in my eyes....
But..
he has a good run of games for last 6 its good he avg 99 for the last 5 he hasnt really set the world on fire to start though and that what has me not wanting to go down that path
Quotehe has a good run of games for last 6 its good he avg 99 for the last 5 he hasnt really set the world on fire to start though and that what has me not wanting to go down that path
What I'm thinking is start with a mid price "Kind Of A gun" upgrade, like Vince. And with the extra cash I can get an ultra premo such as Bartel etc.

Please do not get Vince. Injury prone, poor preseason. As a crows supporter I wouldnt touch him.
You would porbably be better off picking up Hodge in 2 weeks.
i think if you get vince you will want upgrade him quickly, i wouldnt get him anyways
I want him as a keeper.
69, 65, 113, 90, 94, 72, 109, 99, 90, 46, 94, 127, 70, 120, 105
That from last year and I would take something like that for only $ 324,000
im deff keeping a close eye on hodge!!!
wow my ranking actually went up this week, i thought i had a shocker lost a potential 220 from poor choices, i could have rocketed up the ladder with a few moves.
Do you think it's worth culling Duigan for Thompson?
He would only be a 2nd EMG back?
Then Bewick>Vince & about $ 37,000 in change?
I will keep Krakouer as their is no-one to downgrade to. I'm hoping that Winmar or Lyons get named.
i have shot into 1698 spot overall now

i really wouldnt get in vince, if you want a uniquie cheap premium why not look at getting in hodge in a couple of week, should be about 330k
fyfe after his bye?? is he worth it
trying to find away to offset the pain that will be in rd 7 without swan and pendles looking to bring another mid gun in or a dpp at this stage, it doesnt have to be this round but needs to be by the next one.
i have a strong rd 6
gibbs, deledio, heppell, gram, goddard, duigan, otten (lower, smith & stanley E )
swan, pendles, boyd, joey, curnow, swallow (libba E , harris, Krak)
Cox, Smith (sandi, Bailey)
Higgins, Goodes, Riewoltd, Knights, Darling, Tapscott, Petrie (matera E, Franklin, Richardson)
as you can see the worst of the current multi's are behind me would you change any starting rookies?

i would recomend fyfe why not getin selwood after his bye a little bit more but a much better player in my opinion. You have no cats so why not look at getting him in along with enright or chappy later.
Keen to get chappy and selwood got 73 grand banked so for chappy I need to cash 150 off a cow add to a 250 k with cash sounds feasible for rd 7,
What to do if Richardson & krak don't get named was gonna hold krak n hope hibberd fires or jacobs
Anyone going Coad to Thompson (i have Toy so couldnt go Coad to Toy last round)
I know Thompson's JS isnt great but if he can make me 50k + the 20k for trading to him before he loses his spot that would be great.
I didn't go coad or toy only got Stanley thought they would struggle with gc recruiting heavily in defence

I thought about it, but you making like $ 15,000 doing that. He might not get many games.
I'm holding Coad for a downgrade to a $ 80,000 player who is playing.....Might not happen, but I'm hoping. 8)
Thinking about getting Vince & Hodge.
Hodge after he plays after his bye and I will see how he goes a 70+ and signs of improvement will do me just fine.
Swan, Boyd, Boak, A.Swallow, Hodge & Vince. Harris, Prestia & Hibberd.
I'm looking at getting some good FWD's & Backs to compensate the "cheaper options."
Is that projected midfield to dodgy? ???
No-one likes Vince which is understandable I don't think he is as bad as everyone perceives him to be. He still averaged 24 possessions including two games of 32 last year and some good scores. A low score of 46 but then bounced back with 90 odd & a ton.
16 games/ 5 tons/10 games of 90+.
2nd low score of 65.
And yes, He has had 2 sub 60's in a row. But.....I'm dead set on this but..... :-\
P.S: On his day he can pump some big scores...145, 136, 134 & 131.
Averaged 136 from he last 3 in '09, as I said he finishes strongly...maybe due to the fact he would be over his niggles by then.
??? :-\
I hardly think 28 possies round 2 a complete fail. He needs to tackle more, that's what let's him down.
Averages only 14 disposals Vs Saints though.... :(

The thing is though if Thompson plays two more games that means youll make say 65k
Yeah true.
What about Duigan> Thompson.
I've done no trades and this is what I'm thinking for my first?
Premature?
Of course Coad>Thommo is more sensible. But I've done no trades and a lot of people have already....

what do you expect it to score week in week out?
my mids will take me longer to get in but i only need to add ablett (rd10) and one of watson/selwood/bartel (rd7) onwards
my mids will be swan, pendles, boyd, montagna, ablett, one of the three
i expect with captain choice i will be averaging 700 easily from my mids
who is going to compensate you mids?

I see what you mean. Sometimes I get carried away in picking uniques....If it were to be like that, scores each week would fluctuate so much. I have Boak & A.Swallow already if that means anything.
Maybe get a strong backline....I dunno. But I don't no where to do a trade! I've done none and I assume some of you have! But where god dammit!! :o
So if Luke Thompson gets named im gonna do the trade.
Also K.Simpson and L.Anthony are starting to worry me. Seems Simpson is playing a different roll this season.
I reckon hold onto Kade. But you never know.....
Might follow suit and go Coad>Thommo
Then I would have over $ 100,000 to spend.
Hopefully Bewick will smash a ton this week....
SO don't trade Duigan out yet? I would love to do an upgrade now....I would still have Stanley & Lower as bench cover....
pretty sure Duigan has still got plenty of cash to make. whats his B/E ?
Keeping Anthony has done reasonably well being subed screws up his avg and Simpson will come well, aybe Cunrow has taken his roll ?
Quotepretty sure Duigan has still got plenty of cash to make. whats his B/E ?
Its 17. Who can I downgrade? Absolutely no-one!
krak? No, because there is NO-ONE! >:(
Duigan has got 50-75k left him in id say :)
You dont have to trade stress less :)
Do Thmmo to Coad ;) i am :P
Coad>Thommo.... :(
A lot of Adelaide players will return in the coming weeks. He might make some cash but we will come full circle when he is dropped and we are left with the same problem (but with maybe a small profit,) a bench EMG short.
yeh but that small amount of cash could be worth it, come wongrading him, and by then there should be another rookie ready
Quoteyeh but that small amount of cash could be worth it, come wongrading him, and by then there should be another rookie ready
Fair point, bit I'm still not 100% on it though.
windigo i havent made any upgrade trades yet three were to fix mistakes
hibberd -> heppel
Connors-> gram
foley -> Curnow
any trades on the cards this week? i want watson in but even duigan and swallow plus cash wont raise enough will have to wait one more week
how good will it be seeing avg mids of 130, 128, 123 , 115, 102, 93 (except next week with swan and pendles out lol)

I wouldn't call foley a mistake. He was always going to come good and end up averaging 80+. Glad I kept him
Trying not to trade this week and I think I'll hold but Stanton could be in for a big score this week and is well priced at under 400K???
Just an idea!!?/
foley wasnt a mistake so to speak just didnt turn out for the purpose i wanted him for
yea dont want to trade this week cash cows arent ready would be nice having watson v the suns though

just need to be careful when bringing north, essendon, calton and geelong players as they all have byes in the last 4 rounds of the season.
I don't have any except Petrie and Gibbs as potential keepers might bring in 2 cats
im looking at brining in montagna for anthony this week so need to either drop duigan or tapscott, hopefull the teams make it an easy choice if jacobs or hibberd is named as the alternative is getting in mzung to get didak out of my mids as he is stuck there.
Quoteneed to either drop duigan or tapscott
I want to drop Duigan as well. Premature but we all have other cows that will fatten up..
I was thinking of culling a cow or two to get another mid two reasons 1. Too prepare for next week with my swan & pendles bye 2. To take advantage of my best multiple bye I have two starting out fraklin and sandi, coming back goodes, cox, tapscott & darling not sure my head says trade smart get full potential from them cows ( would need to work out expected cash gain v points this week) trades don't matter as they are planned upgrades anyway
No trades this week:
Next week money will be made:
Broughton-Hibberd
Harris-Wallis
Following week:
Duigan-Enright/Gram
Libba/Swallow-Pendles
:)
Thinking about trading out Krak to Harper? To much of a risk??

Do teams get named today?

Whats the rush on the Coad trade? What til Pederso has played 2 games.
Krak should play, atleats wait until Harper has played once, thats what Ill be doing with Hibberd.

i wouldnt trade a rookie that hasnt played 2 games atleast unless you were bleeding cash, any thoughts on the above? and if so what rookes to offload only got 73,300 in the bank
I will cop 3 donuts if I don't trade.
:(
Broughton to L.Thompson
Krak to Jroo
Leaves me with one donut and roughly 110k to upgrade next week. Not happy :/
Argh damn, forgot about higgins... 2 donuts again :(
BTW, just for you guys,
Small article in the Herald Sun on the last page of footy news showed an article about Heppells mum on radio saying that her son is 100% not playing this week and then asking if she could change her comment because it probably wasn't the best thing to do (give away info).
ok so
higgins & otten are out
libba, heppel, stanley & krakour on extended bench
windigo - you were keen to get vince hey? he is out how come?
hey guys going to have to make my 2nd trade for the year to cover a mid doughnut. What do you guys think of Alistair Smith from StKilda with no body to come into the saints midfield could this guy get a decent run? numbers aren't that special so far but could be ok. Other that him who else could I look at?

Who are you downgrading?
I'm thinking about going Richo>Harper & then Krak>Petrie.
I have to cover 4 outs and 2 donuts in the fwd line. Too dodgy?
higgins, otten, heppel, prestia, richardson are out. krak unlikely.
haven't really decided who do get rid of yet either krak or irons. just know I have to get someone in to cover the doughnut.
This week is going to be hectic
am i looking at a back donut?
playing for sure (without late withdrawl)
gibbs, deledio, gram, goddard, duigan, smith
iffy
heppel & stanley
Out for sure
Otten, Lower
i am good in my mids libba or harris as E?? both extended bench
forward i have krak E on extended bench
Stanley has been good this year so can't really see him missing.
ok so do i start stanley and not heppel or risk heppel being the sub
I'd put stanley on. Not worth the risk in heppel...
ok so i am down to a full park (stanley slightly iffy as he isnt for sure playing)
krak as only E (thats not certain)
i could sure up two spots
with a krak downgrade and a otten upgrade to adcock (would feel better this round not sure if i would be better off though)
Krak>Petrie & Richo>Harper+$ 78,000 in change for Hodgy.
Keep Prestia, I think it's all about rotating all their players through the squad.
He will be back.
If I do the trades I will be rosy everywhere. But will have no cover in FWD's & Back's.
I hope Stanley plays. With Bock out I like his chances of playing.
But on a lighter note......NO MORE MULTI BYES UNTIL ROUND 16!!!!!! ;D

I hope Stanley plays. With Bock out I like his chances of playing.
But on a lighter note......NO MORE MULTI BYES UNTIL ROUND 16!!!!!! ;D
thank god for that stupid multi's
partial lock out tonight yea??
Quotepartial lock out tonight yea??
Uh-huh. ;)
Not bothering with any loop hole stuff.
Right on Swan. You know about that swan from the nature park? About how his missus was killed, it's named Dane.....Haha, damn.... :D
no donuts for me but im still tihnk of using my 5th and 6th trade, from the sounds of things i should be going quite well this week. So i will look to crack the top 5000 this week and than double trade like mad over the next 4 weeks to get a good team out early.
otten to hibberd and athnony to montags this week.
thinking krak to hibberd or someone in the mids and otten to adcock before another price rise last chance to get him i think
you guys keeping an eye on who is in the next set of multibyes!!
Hey Holz, do you reckon I should get Petrie for Krak?
He was always a solid scorer in years gone by? You have him surely.....Being a roo supporter and all. :P

yep was one of my first picked, he is the main target up front by a long way so should have a couple of big games. Will have his fair share of 60-70ish scores but should throw in a couple of hundreds to average over 80.
roos are shocking at the moment but they will improve have probably a list that is pushing around 6-10.
not sure if i would bring him in as im not sure if he is a keeper but if you need the cover than petrie is a great pick. Will go up in value and you will probably be able to keep him or turn him into chappy with a double trade.
I'm going to be burning double trades every week for a couple of round now. I need to get my team in with no donuts asap!
I had a look at his stats. He looks fairly consistent without being amazing, as in not biiiiiig scores. But yeah, fairly solid and as you said will rise steadily in value and $ 350,000 isn't beyond him.
what are your thoughts guys on adcock at 335 its an upgrade not a sideways?
well if its an upgrade jump on now because I wouldn't be paying anymore than this for him.
A bit steep for a fella that IMO will not keep busting 110+ but will be a solid keeper.
Last chance, anymore than that price and no.
I still need to get in Deledio in the backs. Probably do that after his bye.
gonna do it i reckon get hibberd in the mids for krak as number 10 mid i am happy with adcock avg 85 - 90 at that price thats really all expect from back 95 would be nicer
ahhh crap!! my worse nightmere! a donut!! how on earth is higgins not playing... cant rely on krak to play, richo is out, prestia (my mmp mid) out as well... and buddy on bench.
what to do... thinking of getting rid of krak or cam richo.. but for who?
do i downgrade hale to McCauley, this would provide me with $201,300 in the bank,
and could only pobably afford someone like jack roo instead of cam richo...
any ideas?
get richo to Jroo any way you can :P
i dont reckon you should get jroo wont solve anything in the long run
Decent start this week. ~450/5 (cox, sylvia, grimes, darling tapscott)
But more like 450/7 with the two donuts. :(

alot of people would have been playing grimes,darling, tappy and cox in that game, still undecided whether to take the 121 from cox.
280/3 (cox, tapscott, darling)
Darling, tapscott, sylvia, grimes and cox (c) pretty happy with last nights game!
I don't think i'll take 121 come on swan
Anthony to Tags oohh yeah, than next week selwood comes in and than enright.
Lets hope hodge can get it together sometime soon and instead of enright i can straight swap or possibly 'downgrade' curnow for him.
Hope tags has a big one for us both Holz. I'll be glad when these multiple byes are over.
No trades this for me this week. I don't think the cows have fattened up quite enough yet!!
who do i start out of smith, duigan, heppel/hibberd or stanley?
Loving that Krak got named. Don't have to make any trades anymore to cover Donuts.

I was thinking of you when i saw his score. That's gotta hurt :(
damn that sucks tags will be better over the log run
saints players are killin me i hope that pick it up a notch
my trades of foley to ward, anthony to krak and getting in dids for his fantastic 68 last week are currently hurting. I dont seem to be pulling off good trades this year.

told you to keep faith in anthony... he hasnt played bad this year and was still on target to average his 90's... thats why i kept him, but dont worry... i made a few mistakes by only making one trade when a few could have paid off. ahh well
adcock was a good move at 95, stupid saints, goodard 78, Joey 70, Gram 54, Roo 43 that coupled with goodes 47 these 5 players should be pushin mr into 450's a game not a lousy 292
my great round is now ruined might struggle to hit 2 k not sure
I def won't make 2K..saints and swans players hurting me this week
This will be a dark day in my DT.....
P.S: Boak >:(
Lucky to make 1800. This will be my lowest score ever, also have to get rid of Bruce now...Hello Symes/Enright?
wow only 1363/18 on a slight plus side i have swan (C), boyd, didak and ward to come, lets hope its a big DT day and i can make 1900 plus.
on a very depressing note i lost 50 points from my weeks upgrades.
Im going to be happy when i can put sandilands, lower, bartel, franklin,stevie j and higgins will hurt to lose swan and didak though.
1451 from 19 omg i have swan (c) Pendles and Boyd to come i am in a world of pain brought in adcock which paid off with a 95
only got three tons deledio cox and curnow i need big big numbers from the last 3 say 160 each say i am more expecting 120s maybe so i mite make 1900's sad thing is i only have sandi and franklin out its those crappy saints players
swan needs to score 170+ for this to be a respectable round for most people, imagine if boy and swan dont even hit 100 i could be looking at a 1700 score than.
1445 from 20.
Have Boyd & Swan (C)
Glad when I get back, Franklin, Sandilands, S.Johnson, Higgins, Lower & BOAK.
Lost Bruce for 6 weeks.
Prestia, Bewick, & Coad all stuffed. I'm Stuffed.
Only one player of 100 for me so far, and that was Cox. :'(
Quote from: Holzman on May 01, 2011, 05:07:41 PM
, imagine if boy and swan dont even hit 100
dont ever imagine that again holz
another 54 each and i ll be at 1900 1691 at the moment if i dont make over 1900 i will probably cry in the corner
this is the looking like my lowest ever DT moment, im going to strugle to get 1750.
My trades bar curnow have been terrible this year. If i hadnt of traded at all this season besdies curnow i would have had foley (123), stanley (73), anthony (102) krak (probably 80) instead of my upgrades of montagna (70), hibberd (68), ward (probably 50), didak (porobably 50)
so im 6 trades down and my team is worse than i started with.
I found the remove the team from the comp button and im tempted to hit it.
Foley got 40 possies. He was always a gun, plus I have man crush on him. :D
Who would of thought Montags would struggle?
I'm not trading Roo, he will come good......
I traded Krak>Petrie & got Harper for Richo this week. Still, Petrie in the long run will work....I hope. :'(
Looking at another 3 trades then I will sit. Get Hartlett & Enright.
montagna will come good, ward is leaving my team as soon as possible, didak is the worst trade i have done though will keep going down in price and is being outscroed by my becnh players. I dropped broughton for toy so i could go krak to didak to stop that exact thing from happening.
It's a long season. But damn, this score is gunna really hurt the overall. Can i recover? :(
as all losers say im going for league nowl and onto 2012 (hopefully no byes and sub rule is dropped).
this isnt looking good, foley was never a keep for me i picked him with the intent of him gunning it straight up stupid hardwick playing him with gastro

well at least i was correct about something.
next time be right about something good :D
1819 - that sucks so bad this would be my worst score with my best team ever
whats wrong with this team?
gibbs, deledio, heppel, adcock, gram, goddard, smith <Duigan, Lower, Stanley>
swan pendles,boyd, montagna, curnow, swallow <Libba harris, Hibberd>
Cox, Smith < Sandi, Bailey>
Goodes, Riewoldt, Knights, Darling, Tapscott, Petrie, matera <franklin, Higgins, Richardson>
too me this team in theory is half decent but it sucked heaps this week
I got 1700 odd. A far cry from 2200 from a few week back. My first trades done this week....Got rid of Krak... :'(
It these byes mate couple with Saint players not living up to full potential.....
i went and found the remove team button, this was ment to be my good rd
I traded krak to Jroo, kept prestia and copped 2 donuts.
Fail.
On a lighter note, 1704 :/
As soon as lockout ends im going to see how far i fell in the rankings, but putting on all my premiums and than later trading in selwood will make me feel alot better.
my bench was worth 2.5mil this week and hopefully next week it will be less than half that.
MY RANKING WENT UP 80 PLACES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow there must have been some super low scores this week.
omg i went up 139 now 1559 wow didnt expect that, lost 40 points in average tho
801 went up like 500 spots loving that. With only 1 trade used still I think im looking good. About to come into trading season soon keen as to go nuts with them.
i need cash in the bank only got 12,300 my cows are all fattening quiet nicely.

nope ward goes into jacob and heppel comes into the mids (he has been that good he deserves a mid spot with curnow)
wanna get another player in this week to ease the pain but with petrie and knights being consistent and decent i dont want to offload either,
any sub 400 k mids or forwards worth considering? mpp would be nice put them in my mid this week then later down the track move to forward line only need to avg 90 for the season to be worth it there
Harris to Hartlett straight trade?
Or Harris to wallis and duigan to deledio? (+ like 100k to use for next upgrade)

not sure if you have him but syliva has impressed me so far and if i couldnt get in chappy he would be the guy i would get into my team, but personally im upgrading the backline as its hard to find many who are trully peforming

gibbs, deledio, heppell, adcock, goddard, gram & smith
potential is there
I'm cashing Duigan for Thommo and Pitto for Hartlett.
hamish is a gun, great stats in an injury riddled career.
Hasn't Thomson had a price increase????

sh!t sorry i meant overall! haha looking good!
i managed to score 1,863, quite good compare to everyone else. Actually one of the better scores in the league :)
i should be set for a big week this week i think my average is just above 2000 so i would mind a 2200+ this week to counter this week a little bit.
Looking forward to this week. Hoping for a return to at least a 2100.
Anyone else a little dumbfounded on how your team looks with no multi-byes?? :P
Only have Swan & Higgins out this week.

i have gone 22334 - 11594 -10473 - 7352 - 1698 - 1559 so if use this as a pattern i am in for a big rd lol doubt it
have swan/pendles & probably higgins out

Quotei'll take that advice onboard from the king of uniques lol

;) Not saying he won't score good. But some fairly lousy opponents in the first 5 round for Freo....Makes me say HMMMM.
nah its a good valid point, ok so fyfe on the not so likely list who else? is it to early to offload swallow??
I'm not sure on duigan to deledio or tapscott to chapman this week...
I reckon' Redden will maintain 100+ this season, look at his run, it's awesome. Most crappy teams twice.
I've backed windigo on this before, and I'll back him again, the guy looks good this year, and our 'second year player' rules seems to be failing quite a bit.
Getting Redden in. No backsies now. :P
captain redden!

Might throw it on Boak...... :P
now you're just being ridiculous.

puopollo or crisps or hibberd and possibly ben jacobs if you want to wait a little and have many other cows
Thinking I will go Duigan for Hibbard and then in a few weeks when Jacobs has played a few game trade him into my midfield so I have a mpp back/mid player. The mpp fwd/mid has done wonders so far but wouldn't mind adding a back/mid link.
Duigan to ..... Already got hibberd just thinking trade him so I then have 130 ish banked for a double next week
im going ward to jacobs and duigan to enright/lids. I normally would just pick the cat but lids DPP and the fect i plan on having 2 cat mids and 2 forwards is swaying me abit. Who do you guys think will average more.
I'd go lids , duigan to jacobs for me sounds like he is doing well just need him to debut and string some games shouldn't bee to hard at port

i dont even need him to play immeditaly as i have more than enough cover with only 2 collingwood guys out and only 1 carlton guy out the next week and i have no GC guys starting so its looking good for the next few weeks.
I too am thinking Duigan>Jacobs.
Will have no bench cover for that week but not to worry.... :P
Worth going Bruce?Duff-Man next week?
If Duff smashes a 90+ I will consider....Pretty cheap and looks better than Broughton.... :-\
What's his price? Why has he be scoring poorly if he gets another 90+ I ll be considering
Looks to be a few debuts and new emergencies which is always good
QuoteWhat's his price? Why has he be scoring poorly if he gets another 90+ I ll be considering

$ 303,000 with a B/E of 94. Worth taking a punt....OR next week trading to Jacobs and then getting Pendles/Watson etc. Using another Double.... :'(
Not to keen on this scenario though......:
Dodgy Defense: Goddard, Gibbs, Grimes, Adcock, Hepell, Lower & Jacobs Puopolo, Stanley & Coad.
I could get R.Murphy in a straight swap for Bruce to......
Mids: Swan, Boyd, Boak, A.Swallow, Redden & Pendles/Watson ETC Hibbo,Prestia & Bewick
i just went duigan to pup and ward to lids, starting to get some MPP going on now.
I went duigan to puopolo no upgrade though
Finally got deledio into my team this week. I have another 124k to use on upgrades next week, so I will probably try to bring in a gun midfielder... or chappy in the forwards :) Still 20 trades remaining which is a good sign :)
PS I missed the curnow/libba/heppel and deledio trains. Just realised that now, no wonder I've had a few bad rounds
H.H carving it. Should have got him.
damit!! i have enright on the bench due to a stupid clitch on DT App!!! :( his not even emergency! :( what a waste!!
good thing is... looks like there will be a few cash cows to buy in the next few weeks!!
Yea don't use dt app for moving players about I double checked mine n nothing happened, smith look good tonight

Smith looked good. I think Puopolo worked himself into the game. Looked shaky at the start, but he was solid. Should get soem more games?
Bloody Boak, once again he carves a 40 point last QTR. I watched the game and number 10 was no where near it and he looked real slow. But in the last he fired up with some tackles and holding the balls and kicks. I'll take it.

good thing is... looks like there will be a few cash cows to buy in the next few weeks!!
Might not have been the worst thing after all!!!!
Loves having Harper as EMG for Stevie J. :(
Hope Redden smashes it, took the C off Boyd.....
Broughton looks like a cheap upgrade target...
Sorry, just wanted to see how it felt to say it after having him for so long :P

Enright didn't do much!!
Broughton, Delidio and Lower -___-
Redden on 9. This is promising....
Back to my pre multi-round best :)
Heppel + 200 points vs montagna, curnow, tapscott and l.thompson
Going to come down to the wire with Fenno :P
tags let me down huge last week, lets hope he repays the faith its Montagna + tapscott + 30 v simpson and sylvia it could be a clsoe one. Selwood against bartel as captain hurt though untill the last quarter.
like wrapping games up a game early got a few where i cant lose because i have all the same players plus some
captain boyd was a good choice in the end
i was looking real good untill the melb adleaide game, knights and grimes ohh yeah.
yea that sucks knights has given me my first reason to look at upgrading him.
1509 /16 bring it home, gibbs, curnow, gram, goddard, volt & Montagna
not holding my breath those last 4 could make or break my day/night

I'm interested to see who will get more between us! It's your montagna + gram vs m.Murphy + 100
I reckon based on average your 40 up on me

I chose Boyd quiet happy with that I think my worst choices were swans sub hundred
QuoteRedden?
Not as bad as O'Keefe getting 50 from last year.
THAT was bad. ;)
so upgrade targets? unless something bad happens tonight, what upgrades, where to start?
best line up.
Gibbs, goddard, deledio, heppel, adcock, gram, smith, <lower, Stanley, puopolo>
Swan, Pendles, Boyd, Joey, Curnow, Swallow <Libba, Harris,hibberd>
Sandi, Cox <Smith, Bailey>
Franklin, Goodes, Higgins, roo, Knights, Petrie, Darling <Tapscott, Matera, Richardson >
want to start setting mids with a double got 137,900 in the bank but not sure, consistent big mid scores are appealing i can get crappy scores else where all the time :D
Grimes out for the season.
Have to oust Bruce & Grimes.
Get Jacobs and upgrade Bruce looks a good bet.
Or Mackie and Symes. :-[
WTF ! >:( 1463 ?!?!
Grimes and Broughton are out this week sick of Broughts and Grimes is flowered.
Danger and Gray sitting on there arse doing flower all.
I need Roo, God, Gibbs, Simpson and Cunrow to get 537 between them for me to get 2k, FMDT !
grimes for the season thats no good
Need Montagna and Curnow to score 154+ to beat Fenno...
you need 87 more from montagna then
Haha ofcourse curnow goes down when I have i.smith as backup :/
Is it serious?
I don't have him which is a good thing.
Well he tried to come back on... and he has a bye next week to rest. So hopefully it's not too bad. Although I may trade him out this week and keep grimes on the bench and upgrade him next week instead. They were both going in the next two weeks for me anyway...
For the Grimes trade, just had a thought...
Tadgh Kennelly? He has has 2 solid matches and is on the bubble for the year...?
More solid than Mackie.

Happy with my 1930 this round, had grimes, curnow and knights all underperform majorly. Looking forward to next week :)
It was a decent week across the board guys :)
Ive dropped off the last few weeks, slipped to 5k in the rankings...grimes out...no cash...21 trades
Team:
Goddard, Gibbs, Lids, Grimes, Duigan, Stanley, Lower (Toy, Otten, Puopollo)
Swan, Boyd, Bartel, Montagna, Swallow, Heppell (Harris, Krak, Bewick)
Cox, Sandi (Smith)
Chappy, Stevie J, Higgins, N.Riewoldt, Franklin, Knights, Darling (Tapscott, Matera, Richo)
Considering the following:
Grimes-Hibberd/Jacobs
Swallow-Pendles
New team:
Goddard, Gibbs, Lids, Heppell, Duigan, Stanley, Lower (Toy, Otten, Puopollo)
Swan, Boyd, Bartel, Montagna, Pendles, Harris (Jacobs/Hibberd, Krak, Bewick)
Cox, Sandi (Smith)
Chappy, Stevie J, Higgins, N.Riewoldt, Franklin, Knights, Darling (Tapscott, Matera, Richo)
very weak backline but obviously thats where I will be upgrading first the next few weeks.
Solid idea?? Turning Grimes injury into a big upgrade to get in 2nd best mid.

Well Curnows injury was the only thing that got me that win. I had no chance before that happened. Got very lucky didn't deserve to win at all.
grimes out destroys my trade plans. Now im planning on going grimes to enright and than downgrade tapscott to possibly smith. Than the upgrades start to go crazy curnow to goodes and than chapman the week after.
ahhh damn it curnow is now a look to be traded swallow to become solid bench cover at this stage.
wow 1991 was decent it seems jumped 1559 to 677
I'm looking at holding Curnow if he has the bye this week. Im thinking grimes out naybe paupolo IN then maybe bewick out Gram IN so that I have that MPP in the mid.
Im thinking of going Grimes to Gram then Foley to Watson. I don't really want Gram because I really don't think he is that great but can afford anyone else better. Have till Friday to decide.
is watson worth getting before rd 10?
yea had a bit of a rethink and just going to do my Grimes trade and get someone decent for him.
My 3 trade plan:
Grimes>Jacob & Bruce>Rawlings/Enright
then
Harris>Bartel
why jimmy over selwood
Quotewhy jimmy over selwood
If I've worked it out correctly I cannot afford him. $ 414,000+Harris's extra cash when he passes his B/E this week.
Hoping for Bartel not to get more than his B/E of 110....
u waiting a week to get him? i am gettin selwood but its hard to say if i would not wait the extra week for the points
who do i finish the 6 with if i get selwood?
swan, pendles, boyd, Selwood, joey & .......
The backs are very slim pickings. I don't see anyone I would want to swap grimes for. :(
selwood this week, enright the next than i bring in chappy. Happy days.
Getting alot of cats
Well, what can we say, Holz is one big person :P
Nah, but seriously, cat's are a pretty safe bet. Chappy, enright and selwood should easily finish in the top 6-7 of their positions barring injury.
can i join next year? ;D
Libba to smith & curnow to selwood 115 in the bank for swallow to mitchel or Watson next week good or bad
Trades?
Mids will be start of rd 9
Swan,pendles, Boyd, selwood, Joey, mitchel/Watson (Harris, hibberd , smith)

Holz u got any more cats apart from the three u want
I really doubt there would be, are there any more cats that anyone wants? Considering the bye in the finals, 3 is stretching it with one in each line, and those three are almost definitely the cream of their crop for their respective positions.
you'd think bartel would be fine if you don't have selwood.
oh yeah, Bartel is fine if you already have him, but this year for a straight up comparison between the two, selwood comes up tops if you're trying to decide who to trade in.
yeahh couldn't agree with you more ::)

What do you think I should do this week?
I can do either one of these trades:
Darling > Goodes, Higgins > Pav (curnow and grimes to be traded next round)
----------------------------------------------VS
Curnow to rookie, Grimes to rawlings
Then the next week, Tapscott/Darling to Goodes, Harris to Judd/Mitchell/Pendles etc (double upgrade)

P.S: Hold Higgins. Unless his out next week as well, then it just gets ridiculous!!

Getting in early
Holz u got any more cats apart from the three u want
yeah i do i have stevie J and bartel . This seaon besides a few players i cant seem to find many consistently good scoring players. Cats players always seem to score well nad even if they have a bad week like chappy or enright did this week they normally back it up with 3-4 100+ games anyway. I will have enright in the back which isnt a problem. I plan on going stevie J to syliva before the gellong bye, as sylivia has a really good run home and should easily average 100+ in the last 4 games. The only problem is selwood and bartel but i plan on having hibberd, jacobs, mzungu rotating through the postions and if i can afford it i will try and get in a 7th defender and play heppel on the bench.
Ziplock im a roos fan so i got quite a few of them in Anthony, Petrie, Atley, Richo and besides petrei they all sucked, so im switching to be number 2 team.
Lets go cats crush the cocky magpies, show them why your the best team of the last 5 years.
ouch. Personally, I got petrie richo and swallow from north... swallow should be coming good soon :)
so glad, it was a lineball for me over anthony and swallow :P
agh yes, had a stroke of genius. Turned curnow into goodes and grimes into rawlings. Saved me both a back and mid donut and can mpp goodes with prestia to get him into my forward line next week.
Will downgrade darling to a rook and up harris to judd next week.
mpp goodes into mids and my weakest forward will be knights, and I will only need 3 more upgrades (possibly 4, undecided on knights)
With Harris it makes so much easier kicking him out. 8)
No Prestia again?!?
anyone got donuts? i look free with Higgins, gibbs & montagna on the bench
Players not playing this week...
Gibbs, Grimes, Higgins, Bruce, Coad, Prestia, & Harris
With Puo I'm hoping he plays. If not....
Grimes>Jacobs & Bruce>Enright
Then next week
Harris>Dal Santo
If Puo is named it's just the reverse, get Dal this week & Enright next week. 8)
sounds solid windigo
my donuts are covered now, but have higgins, gibbs and montagna on the bench too. Boyd captain everyone?

Why not Swan?? :o

I meant to say 'anyone' not 'everyone' haha
Boyd vs Richmond and has been in good form?
Swans last two a bit off, been to all the pies games this year and since the essendon game he has just looked average. Maybe against geelong the fire will ignite, but then again, average risk - high reward seems a good bet too
If 96 is an average game then I will keep it on Swan....Might put it back on Redden. :P
i wanna go swan but offf the bye and doggies v rich i think risk it on boyd
i got in selwood, and chappy is in next week, my backline and forward line isnt great but my mid next week will be
Swan, Boyd, Montagna, Selwood, Bartel, Chapman.
i am gettin selwood in later today
next week my mids will be almost set (joey only question mark later in the season)
Swan, Pendles, boyd, Selwood, Mitchell (i am fairly sure) Joey
I have $ 448,400 to spend.
Looking at Dal Santo becuase I need the extra cash to upgrade Bruce>to any backmen.
Or is it worth just getting Watson? It would leave my backs a little weak......Just about to trade in Dal.....
Don't do it Saints are just no good this year and if you look at their next 9 or more games it doesn't get any easier. Pay the little bit more and get Watson or anyone else but not a saints player
QuoteDon't do it Saints are just no good this year and if you look at their next 9 or more games it doesn't get any easier. Pay the little bit more and get Watson or anyone else but not a saints player
Yeah, lucky I had some self-control and thought it over so.....
Get Watson and pocket only $ 19,000 ???
Bruce is $ 313,500+ $ 19,000 would give me $ 332,500 to spend on a back men next week..
Enright has a B/E of 115 ( I think) So he would need to drop $ 13,000 for me get him. If not, anyone ales in that price bracket worthy of selection?
Or get mundy and make things a tad easier??
I will Get Watson after his bye but if the bye doesn't bother you get him now otherwise mundy is a good unique gun the year and we all know how much you love your unique players. Enright should go close to dropping that 13k
Going Mundy, as you said is an actual unique GUN mid.
QuoteEnright should go close to dropping that 13k
About $ 9,500 if I go Mundy.
Locked, thanks man. ;D
No worries. Happy to help. Will probably hurt me as im pretty sure im playing you thsi weekend.

Guys thinking to next week who would u bring in as my last mid upgrade
I have swan, pendles , Boyd, joey, selwood
looking like a great round for everyone should be 2000+ easy. Didak is stuffing up my team really badly, pity i didnt get in shaw over dids. Still over the next few weeks i will be able to get tapscott out of my 22.
How many trades are you guys on i have burned heaps.

I have 18 trades left.
Bad week for me, had tapscott and l.thompson stinking it up big time. I went rawlings in for grimes, and got his 64. Agh!
so if you had a pick of any mid except the 5 i have got and joey really isnt doin aswell as i would like who would you get just those three? if so watson??
2000+ easily i am not sure i still got boyd (c) that could backfire smith's 11 and tapscott's 36 really didnt help thing along
Watson after his bye. If you can't wait that long, then probably Judd.
Hang on, a thought. What about Bartel?
Judd or Bartel guys? I have selwood already but does it really matter?
i would bring in gaz, but personally i brought in chapman to play in my middle and than im picking up pendles after his second bye and putting chappy in theforward line.
I have Swan, Boyd, Montagna, Selwood, Bartel and soon to be Chappy.
i always like bartel in my side always gets in some how.
swan, pendles, Boyd, Selwood are to stay i really want average 105+ so Joey needs to lift his game
so who as a sixth ahhhhh i have a week to decide i guess
I think Watson will be rested next week before the bye, so if you want one in next week, you pretty much have a choice between, Judd, Bartel, Mitchell, Mundy or Rockliff (as a unique)
seen he got subbed with hammy tightness maybe sixth mid will stay a rook for now
looking at hodges next couple of games, I just can't seem to trade him in. The only thing I would do is to trade him in and use him as permanent bench cover, but it is a bit pricey...

hodge has proven himself in the big games by playing well even though hawthorn lose. you can't put it past him that he is returning to form. there were instances in the port adelaide game where he really seemed like he was back on track, especially in the final quarter. he's backed it up with a very good performance today.

I was watching the port game and my plan was to gget goodes and hodges before curnow and grimes went down. He looked great in the last half.
The problem is next up is sydney who suck the living DT out of players. bulldogs, freo, geelong, gc, essendon, collingwood... it isn't the easiest of runs home.
I guess it all depends on how darling performs today. Sub 70 then darling out, bartel/judd in (for harris) , well above 70, tapscott out, hodge in + money to get chappy for darling against GC.
I have 18, it will be 17 when I go Bruce>Suckling and then will sit.
Hey Windigo, you are the uniques expert, what do you think of r. griffin from bulldogs?
QuoteHey Windigo, you are the uniques expert, what do you think of r. griffin from bulldogs?
Hm, he looks a better pick than Cooney. :P
With scores of: 75, 129, 117, 107,109,102 & about 80 (Today)
He gets the ton but at the moment he is not getting the BIG tons, apart from the 129. But if you have Boyd already I wouldn't consider. But if not he is solid and would be better than Redden long term. :P
Mundy. That is all.
Fenno v Windigo is going to be a ripper match.
Mundy needs to score 130 for the match to be a draw if my maths is correct!
QuoteMundy needs to score 130 for the match to be a draw if my maths is correct!
Wow, Okay the dt site for me won't let me swap match centers. So i cannot see how I'm going vs Fenno.
Mudy 130 you say? It can happen lets go. ;D
I concede defeat. Mundy will ton up but he won't get 130.
Lower subbed!? >:(
GO MUNDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!14 points
redeemed myself this week after a horror story last week lol. sittin on 2177
wow my team sucks didn't even crack 2000, motagna is the main reason for that i had to play stupid bewick. At least finally next week my team shoudl be full strength, gibs, montagna and higgins should all be back and i have no GC guys on the field andim planning on bringing on hodge.
Finally getting rid of Bruce and getting Higgo back into the 7. :D
tags, gibbs and i hope higgins with the addition of mitchel or mundy will strength my score of 2004 i hope
If I picked the right bench options, could have got over 2000+.
Pretty happy, with montagna, higgins and gibbs on the bench and I am hoping on bringing in bartel/judd/mundy depending on how much darling goes up in price.
The curse of whoever plays me continues, this time taking down mish :(
(Everyone has had their worst week against me this season)
lowest scores against you spite? i hope not i am against you round 10
Terrifying Glue 2,107 def 2,089 SpudiusMaximus 2.0 (3rd worst out of everyone)
Terrifying Glue 2,098 def 2,093 Dannyz D00dz (4th lowest out of everyone)
Terrifying Glue 1,982 def 1,935 Right to bear arms (5th lowest out of everyone)
"Superstar" 1,958 (3rd highest, yet one of Fenno's worst) def 1,926 Terrifying Glue (Needed curnow to score 51 to win... 13 and injured)
Terrifying Glue 1961 def 1829 INTER! (lowest in league)
Next???
Darwin Jabirus vs Terrifying Glue
So my plan was darling > mzungu and up harris to a premium depending on the price.
Doing that leaves me with 405,800 to spend. Bartel, Nope, Mitchell, Nope, Watson, Nope... Judd, 405,800 exactly. No way!!!!!
Is it fate? Or tapscott > mzungu and up harris to Hodge before his price rise and then next week use darling to get a premium player in if I am lucky?
you gonna go hodge?
judd hmm i'd get him if that was the only choice
so B.Smith must go Be of 100 to Jacobs (which allows me to swap him with hibberd so hibberd can be in the back line)
then Tapscott to .(453900 or less so anyone really)...... this is where you come in.
chappy? or wait a bit longer for that price to come down?
i was going to get a sixth midfielder but might hold off on that as libba & swallow need to make more coin
only lost 47 spots this week so 744th
Chappy will decrease in value but if you can get him now, then do it :)
Although Goodes is a higher priority if you don't have him.
going for a forward
currently got.
Franklin, goodes, Volt, Higgins, petrie, Knights darling <tapscott, Matera, Richardson>
No sylvia/pav/chappy. Pretty interesting.
I like sylvia, had him all year, but I see the upside in going chappy now when he is more unique and plays GC in the round after next.
want to get chappy before the GC game, didnt pick sylvia at the start of the season as durability is an issue for me, pav v fyfe havent decided
i need three more forwards max Chappy is a deffinite one of pav/fyfe and maybe hang onto knights
im looking at getting in a backline as i think its the weakest, i can afford anyone and already have goddard,lids, adcock, gibbs but instead of getting in shaw im planning on getting in scotland, he is probably the most consistent backman this year.
i think GAZ will be a top 5 mid this year so i plan on getting him in next round and than chappy the round after.

Scotland seems to be the forgotten back but the next time I upgrade a back it will be to him. I agree with you on Ablett I think he is finaly fit and no matter how bad the GC are he will start to score those 100+ points every game and well Chappy is Chappy a must have up forward
i will be super low on trades (8) but my team looks pretty scary come round 11.
this is my planned 22.
Deledio, Gibbs, Adcock, Scotland, Goddard, Heppel, Stanley
Swan, Boyd, Bartel, Selwood, Montagna, Ablett
Cox, Sandilands
Franklin, S.Johnson, Riewoldt, Higgins, Chapman, Didak, Knights
if the team is fully fit and up and going i should be able to climb up the ranking a bit and should finally win some league games.
thats a killer team holz.
I'm hoping to get mine done before/after round 13
really good team, one semi weak link: Stanley, hoping you can get him out too he may not perform as well as he did last weekend every week.
Just looking at your team Holz and the geelong bye is really going to hurt you with 2 Geelong players in your mids and 2 in your forwards. Hope you still have a trade or 2 by then because that round is going to hurt otherwise

well i will have hibberd, jacobs, i.smith, mzungu and callinan roaming around roaming around the bench and the plan is to go stevie j to syliva as the demons have an easy run home.
im also planning on upgrading stanley to which ever back is scoring the highest around round 12-13 so stanley will be gone than.
i am looking forward to the next few rounds
rd 9 swallow/stanley out no biggie
rd 10 heppel out
rd 11 deledio out
rd 12 jacobs out
no LTIS PLEASE then the pain begins for a few rounds
By Beginning of rd 11 i should be hitting my straps by rd 12 i should be complete and ready to ride the season out hopefully with out much change required
i was originally planning on going tapscott to i.smith but im now considering getting in mzungu this week and if smith plays anytime soon i will drop matera for him.
who is my weakest link?
Tapscott to $453,900 (pav) - will take darling to 8th behind knights and petrie
Libba to $494,100 (Mundy) - will set my mids with Joey as 6th best
lower to $439,900 ( Heater) - will bring my mids to deledio, gibbs, adcock, goddard, Heppel, Gram and heater
chopps i really dont think mundy is a great pick, i still think you should upgrade the mid first, i dont know who you have in but Swan, Pendles, Boyd, Selwood and even Gaz, Bartel i would rate ahead of mundy.
+1
just got in scotland and realised i have to drop darling for to get in ablett this week, but he is on my bench anyway so im looking at doing it anyway. I have a feeling ablett will either score 200 against gellong (like lebron when he went to back to the cavs) or he will get tagged to death.
Its going to be a hard choice between getting in him or chappy, having chappy selwood bartel and stevie j could post some huge scores if they murder GC. i dont think 600 from these guys with one of them a captain is out of the question.
mid is swan, pendles, boyd, montagna, selwood. any one can come in might get Bartel and then chappy next gives me three but i can handle that
why dont you rate mundy?
right now looking at scores he is consistently hitting it up and doesnt have the hardest run from here. he is the best player and 8 points better then jimmy, jimmy as much as i want him in my side is pumping out 120s then 90s average of 105 (which is good) but mundy is consistent i am going overall but wouldnt mind consistency especially if it comes with an extra 8 points
Im a big fan of Mundy now. Last week sold me on him when the rest of Freo were struggling to score points last week Mundy was still able to step up and smash out a good score. He will be welcomed into my team tonight.
im personally hoping for some shockers for guys like mundy, fyfe, suckling etc.. players who arent proven and are being taken above proven superstars. For me i dont see why you would take mundy ahead of gaz and montagna, or people considering trading in suckling at his price instead of spending that little exttra and getting in a guy like heath scotland.
Ok so decision made mundy it is - holz thanks for your opinion
Reason for mundy
I have swan,pendles, Boyd, selwood,Joey and will now have mundy
1. Biggest average diff libba to mundy
2. This years consistency
3. Can't get Jimmy as I have selwood want chappy to
4 apart from Jimmy no one else I want that includes gaz I want consistent hundreds
Get mundy.
Mundy, pendles or gaj will be my final midfielder depending on prices.
Judd in for me this week. If I get Gaz, it will be the same midfield for the last 3 years :D
after weeks of doing stupid trades i bringing in guys like toy, didak, ward my trades are finally starting to imprvoe my team. My last 2 trades of ward to selwood and lower to scotland are looking like masterstrokes now tih selwoods big score last week and both around 100 at 3 quarter time.
u would be happy with selwood and scotland so far you got gibbs> off to a good start either way i ll take 218 from 2
well, ward did score 120 last week :P
Man, I hope Judd is not going to miss any weeks, would be the worst trade in ever!
Bartel is looking like a nice upgrade target!
if jimmy turns it around
scotland looks like a good idea for backline
as soon as i get out lower he pulls out a good score, same with ward last week at least im finally getting some good returns from the players i brought in. My last 3 traded in players are looking like they will bring in about 380 between them.
lower on the bench for me atleast he will make some coin, not even emergency
mundy isnt looking too good this week damm it

Monty played a semi decent game
On a side note my eliminator opponent is going ridicoulus this week so far he has
Gibbs 96 ( i have so not too bad)
Goddard 122 ( i have)
Dugian 97 (what? that's ridiculous)
Lower 119 ( yeah great got him out this week)
Bartel 77 ( bad but i have him as-well)
Tags 151 ( i have him but lots don't)
Syliva 97
Chapman 110
Johnson 95 ( i have)
Voldt 134 ( i have)
thats around 1100 from 10 players, geez
the only plus is that im a better DT player and he has Mzungu on the filed, when everyone knew he would be the sub so 1120 from 11 players i should be able to catch up on.
Im 1015 from 9 i think everyone will have a huge score this round.
Im 1130 from 11, with mzungu on the field, so doing slightly better than your DT opponent holz haha
On second thoughts, probably should have put hibberd on the field... duh!
And holz, you are doing awesome!!!!
i am 801 from 7, mundy is my worst 86, 15 with captain to come
should of traded tapscott to forward upgrade bit libba to mundy ahhhh

yeah i noticed that your bench has gone crazy, still your team is doing really good aswell.
Dids, Petrie, Heppel + 130 against krak, darling, okeefe, goodes could be a close one, i just hope dids finally repays the faith and pumps out a 100+
dids, heppel, petrie all doing well
glad i left tapscot on the bench might of got Poupolo over lower wrong though lol
Lids, Heppell, Petrie and Addock doing great for me !! Will help add to my already great score !!! 8)
i think everyone will score 2200+ the way this is going. im on 1300 with 9 (8 players with swan captain) left to play and 5 games still playing.
Pity i didnt go with my gut and played it safe with starting pup over jacobs and tags captain over swan, if my players playing can score 50 each in the last half i would have been on 1800 with 8 players left to play and be on track for a 2600 score.
*everyone who doesn't have dal santo :P
Even Broughton has done well for me !! 92 ;D :P A Swan(C) 175 would be nice :P
i have a bit of a porblem now in my backline i have hibberd,heppel, jacobs and pup and only 2 spots left in the team. At this stage i only have 5 mids but im putting heppel in there to keep a spot. Im now forced to trade guys like knights now as they are the weakest players in my team and than i will pick up pendles after his bye.
this is insane .... its gonna come crashing down isnt it??? just passed 1300 from 12 and capt swan to come. i have 10 players to go 3 are iffy, by iffy i mean darling, poupolo and knights the rest are guns
everyone is killing it im 1550 from 14 and 8 players to and captain swan score
however its likely all to fall apart on sunday and i probably wont even hit 2000, sunday is always a horror day for me.
but with Swan (C), Boyd, Cox, Franklin, Higgins, Knights, Dids, Pup to play surely expecting 800 from those 8+1 isnt asking too much.
i just checked if my remaining players score there average I hit 2462, I would take that

swan captain, boyd, goodes, Franklin, Higgins, cox, darling, krak.
they can all score very well and I'm just HOPING they can all smash out big scores. if I can break 2100 I'll be absolutely stoked :D
On 1529 with 9 to go
goodes Buddy Missy Knights darling Cox boyd pendles and pup. Hope they get at least their ave score and I am good for a 2400. 3 "fails for me Mundy hibberd and enright. Rest 95+
Par score this week 2300??
what score would you expect from
Puopolo, Swan (c), pendles, boyd, cox, franklin, goodes, Knights Higgins, Darling
i am 1340 from 12 at the moment
i think its realistic for me to be aiming low 2300
Puopolo 60, Swan (c) 240 , pendles 110 , boyd 110 , cox 90 , franklin80 , goodes 80 , Knights 60 Higgins 80 , Darling 70 = 2320 realistic or not?
Should get at least that. Reckon that franklin higgins and goodes should get close to 100 each!.You should be close to pushing 240o IMO
Thats very realistic. I think your looking at more like 2350 than 2320
Awww man, if I had hibberd on instead of mzungu, I would be up to 1470/14. Still pretty happy though!
And holz, I reckon Darwin Jabirus (my opponent) could catch you this week, 1347 from 12 with some pretty good players coming up...

just watch i will probably end up with a 1900 score this week somehow.
i considered starting jacobs and lower over hibberd and poupolo looks like i made the wrong choices not gonna complain score is good
On track for a 2200+ ;)
You have to be conservative fellas. :P
i think 2200 + is realistic for me anything above i ll be stoked hoping for my later prediction of 2350 though
as predicted my team has died on saturday, as soon as i saw tags got a huge score i had a bad feeling swan could pull a stinker and conrgradulations greg broughton you are now most most hated player in dream team. The double trade to get rid of broughton for toy and krak to didak has ruined my season. If only i had chosen lids instead of broughton pre season or gone with sylvia instead of dids in the trade. 2 50/50 decisions that went horribly wrong.
on a side note knights and franklin doing well but pup probably wont get anywhere near jacobs score.
only mistakes this week were swan over selwood as capt and poupolo on over lower or jacobs was always gonna play hibberd
2000 / 18 , cox, boyd higgins and darling
2048 right now.
Higgins, Cox, Boyd & Darling.
High scoring round for all.
I won't be surprised when my mates from school come strutting up to me like a bunch of roosters.
Bragging how they got 2200+.......It will be their first round over 2000.
As I said, high scoring round this week.
Damn, played mzungu over hibberd and luke thomspon over puopollo. Silly moves. Close to 80 points there :/
Still should get close to 2300 so not unhappy haha :)
my only real mistake was swan as c after 2 weeks of not selecting him and lower on the bench instead of poupolo
Swan low Captain score and Higgins sub and 29.
2255 and counting.
hit my prediction of 2320 hopefully can push 2350 with a higgins sub score
Quotehit my prediction of 2320 hopefully can push 2350 with a higgins sub score
Was a close one Choops. Pipped at the post.
You & Montags 151 always helps. :P
did the maths best i could of got was 2475 so happy with 2340 wouldnt of picked Joey as my captain and didnt think of lower v port was basing it on current form oops
Higgins is a mess. Out for me this week. Had enough of it and him. He has officially joined Heath Shaw on my never again no matter what list.
Higgins to chappy, (2 trades), to A.Swallow or Hodge (1 trade) or anyone else (2 trades)
I am thinking going to chappy. I will use him as my 6th mid until a nice mid drops in price in the next few weeks I think...
I had Higgins 09 so really should of done better research wasn't the worst fail didn't lose cash why is he out ? Cut eye? Welcome chappy and would u keep darling for one more? Or tappy can get the arse otherwise he could stay benched won t loose anymore now
Hmmm, might just hold if he was only out for the cut eye, but every article I have read said bulldogs did not sustain any injuries... makes me worried. I will wait for team to be out naturally.
I had higgins 09 and 10 and swore I wouldn't get him in 11, but due to his kickass pre season, and lower starting price, I fell for him again.
I have already decided that next year I will be starting with 5 premium mids because chances are I will be burned less by them than my forwards (higgins/roo) or my backs (broughton/enright/goddard)
Tappy is shown the door.
If Higgins is out, he will be OUT of my team.
i have decided them iffy picks and mid pricers can go get F &*^d
Do you think it is too late to jump on adcock? I have avoided him like the plague which has turned out to be a mistake so far, but I know he could drop any second. Maybe I should go scotland instead.
for durability and a bit more get scotland
he is on my radar as another back, gettin on in age though

yeah steer clear of adcock his average disgusts me ;D
Adock at the start was the way to go.
I wouldn't get him now.
adcock is a premium back now, if you have guys like lids, goddard, gibbs already why not get him. Dont put the fact you could have got him over 100k cheaper put you off. Just think he is a guy averaging 100, hasnt put up a bad score since round 1 and has past DT scoring history.
at some point you gotta take the risk that he is over his injury prone ways i did about 4 - 5 rounds ago so glad i did.
sylvia???? i am getting chappy this week what do you guys think of sylvia.
i need another forward upgrade but need to keep in mind rd bloody 16
i have Mundy, Sandi, knights & petrie
i know petrie doesnt play for adel, melbourne or freo but if i use him to cover sandi he is no longer in my forward line so i need to plan for that
I have Sylvia.
He is good. But he is much like Pavlich.
Get's consistent 90's and an occasional mass ton thrown in.
Durability is my concern with sylvia I already have Higgins and knights to worry about
My Plan:
Tappy>I.Smith
Next Week:
Matera>Mzungu & Darling>Goodes
The Week After That:
Stanley>Deledio
;)

that's nice yeah, do you still have MPP link with fwds and mids?
Quotethat's nice yeah, do you still have MPP link with fwds and mids?
Prestia.
With some frigging around I can keep Darling as permanent bench cover & get Goodes.
But would have bugger all cash to get anyone for Stanley.
I think my plan is fairly sound:
Backs: Goddard, Gibbs, Adcock, Suckling,
Deledio, Heppell & Jacobs Puopolo, Lower & Coad
FWDS:Franklin, Sylvia, S.Johnson, N.Riewoldt,
Goodes, Higgins & Petrie Smith, Mzungu & Harper
nice plan i dont have a trade plan as such :D
do my trades for the next 3 week look legit?
Round 10
Missy -> Chapman
Tappy -> Smith
Round 11
Swallow -> Pendles
Bewick -> Mzungu
Round 12
Darling -> Anyone (Fyfe, Stevie J, Sylvia, J Brown or Dids)
they look good are you going to end up with pendles and swan?

why get pendles just before his bye
i wouldnt be trading anyone from pies unless it was this week. otherwise wait till rd 14
how many finals and LTI trades would you guys suggest from rd 14 forward?
correct me if I'm wrong but pendlebury will suffer a final drop in price this week some of us are lucky to have even got him this 'cheap' he will rise by his bye to say around 440k if he scores well, and so I've lost a possible 20k, plus the extra points he'd score more than swallow say 30-50 more than him in both rounds 11 and 12. in round 13 I'll still have about 17 premiums playing in round 13 minus sandi if he isn't back by then.
good point who you covering him with in rd 13??
i have d.swallow for swan just finding a good MPP i can get in rd 12 or 13 that can swing to the mids so i really have 5 premiums and swallow so i dont lose much then put that mpp to forward to finish that line
my midfield for round 13 will be:
Boyd, Bartel, Dal Santo, Harris, Mzungu (Swan, Pendlebury, Iles)
the last spot could be taken by either Mzungu, Iles, Smith, Jacobs, Heppell.
why is gram out still? was he dropped
Quotewhy is gram out still? was he dropped
Yeah. And he won't be back for a while...... :-\
From all reports he played shizen before the week he was dropped.
Thinking that I might get I.Smith even though he ain't named..... :-X
gotta hold him now that position was doomed from the begining, was deciding between broughton/duffield/gram/ connors.
went connors thought thank god i didnt get the first two
connors was shower so i went gram was playing well and thought mm nice move turn to crap that did
I chose Broughton over deledio and stanley over heppell. (otten was always in my team)
I chose Higgins over goodes and prestia over matera. Higgins to petrie and otten to adcock was also a consideration.
I also chose Bewick over libba and curnow.
These were all my choices I was actually considering at the start of the year and played around with. :/
The only thing I got right was selwood over bartel...
What a bad year haha!
Got B.Jacobs this week in for L.Thompson who has gone down in price. Rid myself of higgins for chappy... never getting higgins again. There is an article saying he may have OP back, so I'm not risking it. Had to trade today as I'm out tomorrow.
Good luck for this round guys!!!
i would love seeing Higgins coming out and killing a 120+ score, alot of people have been bagging him this week. Sorry spite but i hope trading out Higgins is your worst decision this year.
me too, as more people jump off i am more inclined to keep him, hope he dont got op
I just don't understad people trading out Higgins. You kept him all through injury and then he has 1 shocking game and everyone decides we better trade him. He will score you 90+ most other games after all he wasn't averaging 100+ before his injury for nothing. If you keep swanny though his 2 weeks off (bye/1 missed game) and then comes back and somehow scores bad will you then trade him?
Keep.
He is playing. Just be thnakful for that.

Ha Spite..One of those years
I think I'll keep Higgins now that you've sold him.
He'll ton up for sure!!
I hope for all your sakes he scores 120+, as long as chappy scores 130+ for the next couple of rounds :)
Plus I got to get b. jacobs in :)
Call me crazy, but I'm getting I.SMith in this week. Even though he ain't playing.........
Oh thank the judd!
I was very very tempted to put higgins in my midfield and get A.Swallow, but decided to only do that in my SC... Still won't regret it if chappy pumps out a massive one!
A.Swallow is a great buy at his price.
Had him from the start. Love his work. Best mid on a consistent basis at the Roos.
anyone else cant pick a rookie? lower last week on the bench stanley this week
Quoteanyone else cant pick a rookie? lower last week on the bench stanley this week
I had Puo as my EMG.
Jacobs, Stanley & Lower all on field in the backs.
Chappy in for a big price drop. 8)
thats not cool i just traded darling for chappy what was the point ahhhhhhhhhh
ok im ait angry with my bench back, 3 weeks ago pup on the bench for 85 and started jacobs. Week after put pup on the field and jacobs on the bench for 97. This week put jacobs on the bench and have stanley on the bench for 100.
on the plus side i have stevie J so im happy.
CakeHornes needs higgins to score 33 points in the second half to beat me. I love how it is coming down to higgins just after I traded him out. Should be a close one!
pity i didnt go with my gut and get in hodge, at least chappy pulled a semi decent score. My league game was over a long time ago hodgeys hawkers have been quite unlucky, pity he didnt actualy have hodge in his team or it would have been much closer

Dominating this round, you will most likely get the highest score this week in our league, good job!
Wow really?
2086 with a QTR to come.
Boyd (C), Suckling (the old +30 in like a minute) Franklin & Higgins.
2200?
i am 2027 with a quarter left and 4 players want to break 2100 i need higgins to score a whole 10 points to get me the win over Terrifying Glue can it be done?
That would be me chopps :)
If Barry Hall wasn't subbed, then I would say no because higgins will fall over in the huddle and be subbed, but now I think I will go down by probably 10-20 points :(
ah its you spite ............. COME ON HIGGINS NOW IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE
1 more point then he can stop scoring for all i care
#1000 reply!!!
Hope we draw!!!! So close!!!
bet ya we dont, bet ya he gives away a free come on HIGGINS ONE HANDBALL THATS ALL I ASK

Very close one though. Pretty good scoring across the league actually :)
WTF?
It says on fan footy scores, that higgins=74, Franklin=115 & Boyd=119?
But on DT site it does not. And all my players have played.
Will it update? Or has FF got it wrong. ???
Hoping that it will update and I have 2200+ 8)
Don't worry fellas. Updated, 2210. ;)
Massive score windigo, hopefully close to the weekly (my guess is ~2320 will win), but a very solid top 1000 score for you!

That's my plan too. Although I may go mitchell if he stops being tagged for hodge.
Would have been epic if I had swapped higgins into the mid and traded to hodgey after round 7... arghhh
higgins to hodge would of been a nice move, i wanted hodge but mids are full now and not trading swallow till atleast after the rd 13 bye if i do that is

Okay. ;)
flower ME IM LETTING THE LEAGUE DOWN!! :'( :'(
Dont know whats happening this year!! :(
After this week im upgrading and ill get my avg back up to 2000, sorry guys my bad if i wasnt here wed be top 20! :(
i need talking out of something!!!
why does this not make sense???
assuming fraser & matera dont play
fraser not playing is good for smith
matera not playing is good beacause i dont have to worry about him losing more cash and can offload him next week
Trade Sandilands to J.Tippet leaves me with 330,200
trade stanley (highest be) to Scotland (stanley could be lower i guess)
money in the bank 194,000
next week
Lower to Thouy (gives me my first potential deadwood, iam cool with that)
Matera to Sylvia (i think)
leaves me with 136700 in the bank which would be more then enough to change smith back to sandilands or upgrade a dud.
it also gives me petrie as cover so two things can happen he can cover smith if need be and when swan is out for these 2 rounds i can play sylvia or chapman as a 6 th mid over swallow and have petrie up forward
you're going to use Sylvia or choppy over swallow? I'm assuming David?
and nah don't like the idea of dead wood, perhaps Christian Howard is getting games at least from the dogs.
Will try to pick up a playing back for sure, so want Sylvia/chappy as 6th for rd 12 when swan misses the rd 13 wil be swallow at 6th chappy or Sylvia at 5 as I am missing two in rd 13
Yea David swallow is my mid cover

wait is stanley, danny stanley from GC, surely he has a low BE with his 98 this week, im trading out sandi aswell but i would go matera to syylvia instead. The thing with my sandi trade is im only doing it if fraser is back in, as im currently starting smith but if fraser is back in than i dont want to do that so i will play petrie instead and put smith in the bench than have pendles comie in and cover the mid spot i have been using for a fwd/mid
I'm keeping Sandi.
Hope you all trade him and he comes back and smashes it. ;)
Quote from: Windigo on June 02, 2011, 12:20:35 PM

Hope we all trade him, earn a extra 30+ points a game for upgraded player then sandi comes back and plays shower ;)
I highly doubt that. He can get 50 points from hitouts and not have to jump. Kick a few golas resting in the FWD line.
Hard to see him not get at least 70.
Sandi won't coem back playing shower he is a gun. Glad I can move Petrie into the rucks to cover him
It is Danny stanley be is 12 I want to bring a prem defender Stanley has the highest be of my defenders even if it's 12

stanley is scoring like a premium defender at the moment, so i see no reason to get him out. Im happy starting him at the moment and he will be great bench cover.

If he does that than i simply upgrade smith to sandi when he is back, than i have petrie as fantastic bench cover for both my FWD, Rucks and indirectly mids as he can cover my forward line and i can put chappy in hte mids.
chopps! Thouy is debuting this week! I am magic! :O
@Chrisuzz, actually without you, we'd be 15 players and a random, so we wouldn't be worse off! Haha mate, its cool, just work on it and try and come home hard. This year is really tough with all the byes and im sure you will kick butt next season with no stinking byes!
Spite you genius how many games has Howard played

Spite you genius how many games has Howard played
I believe just the one...
Who do I get to complete the FWDS?
I was gunna get Chappy.......
Out of these 3:
Brennan~No byes left but a tad up & down
Harvey~Harper & Petrie+A.Swallow already
Goodes~Have no Swans players
WHO? :-[
Goodes. No doubt about it. For most of us :)
However, you love your uniques... so Brennan may be for you. But that being said, he will be the worst rollercoaster of your life.
(Then again, Goodes is no certainty for a 100 every week either)
Been a little surprised at Goodes this year. Not been as consistent....
Goodes: 9 games & has 4 tons. Three 76's ??? Lowest of 47. One bye.
Brennan: 8 games & has 3 tons. Has got at least 60 since round 1. Zero byes left.......
Leaning toward Goodes....
Keep in mind Sydney have a multi bye
Made up my mind......Not trading.
Will get Deledio for Lower as planed next week.
Just a matter of who to get for Matera next week....C'mon I.Smith!!!!
Would it be wise to get Chappy after I get Deledio the very next week for Darling?
got chappy last week :(
gonna keep doubling for now, hello sylvia this week i think anyone better? and scotland next week.
team is gonna be sick one day when they all play
Stuff it. Getting Goodes & Smith this week.
I need help.
Team:
Goddard, Heppell, Gibbs, Lids, Lower, Stanley, Duigan (Otten, Toy, Puop)
Swan, Pendles, Boyd, Bartel, Montagna, Harris (Krak (DPP), Jacobs (DPP), Bewick)
Cox, Sandi (Smith)
Chappy, Stevie J, Goodes, Knights, Higgins, Buddy, N.Voldt (Mzungu, Lynch, Richardson)
16 trades, I have 95k.
I need to make another 120k to upgrade Harris-J.Selwood.
What downgrade would you make? Keep in mind I ant to keep DPP. HELP :)
For the record I'm Patto's Footy Gods. Rnaked 4,400.
Patto you only really have 2 choices you can downgrade krak but than you will lose either your DPP or a starting player. ZCallinian is a risky option that could pay off but with chappy out its probably too risky.
I would be tempted if i were you to downgrade it may sound stupid but downgrade Duigan to penderson from the roos. You have pup on the bench and i rate him ahead of duigan. I understand you might have planned to keep duigan but i see him as a guy who will give you a 50 or a 70+ score. I see pup doing a simular thing but with a lower floor and and lower celing.
However saying this i would be upgrading Harris to selwood i would be upgrading harris to a DEF/MID as your backline needs some serious work. i would rather look at going harris to scotland.
Than this week play jacobs in the mids and switch lids into the mids for scotland. Than from now on you need to only play 2 rookie backs.
Its just my opinion and we are ranked around the same but i have used heaps more trades so you know what your doing, go with your gut. I can just say there is nothing better than having a quality backline and seeing around 3 100s in it most weeks and the rest 90s and 80s.

Ive decided ill go Duigan-Howard (I rate him ahead of Pederson) with dogs rebuilding. And get Selwood for Harris. Leaves me with solid bench cover in mids with Krak in there. And leaves DPP. Backline bench very riskyy though (Otten, Howard, Toy) but Jacobs in mids can help cover. otten will be upgraded soon anyway.

Debating Selwood or Judd for captain this week... Head, Selwood, Heart, Judd.
Selwood for me.
Why not big COX?
His my C, playing over in Perth where he averages like 120+ doesn't he?
Boys, would appreciate some thoughts on my situation.,
Duigan > Howard
Harris- > J.Selwood
Is that crazy?
Hm, can you wait a week on Howard? He has played one game and his JS is suspect IMO.
But if there is no doubt in you having to play him. Have a geez at the fixture.
If everything is all good......Gotta love Selwood's scoring..... :D

Cant really afford to wait a week...Ill miss Selwoods 140 V Bulldogs and get Kraks 60. And Harris will most likely drop in price.
Yeah and the inclusion of fraser is a bonus as he will dominate him.
Selwood is in just too good form to ignore.

368/2 v 382/4
i think i am ok i am in trouble
he is lucky i have gram/ chappy out and deledio bye
sylvia hasnt give me the start i was looking for
my league game is voer, im just owrried about my eliminator. Its crazy we are all tied up and have 3 players each left to play who are unique.
Scotland + Pup and Petrie v Lower, Mitchell, Bailey it should be mine but than again i should be 100+ up at least by now. My oppnonent had Cox captain wheras i had selwood, doesnt have sylivia and has stevie j and bartel. getting in pendles this week has saved me.
Next week i will be upgrading stanley to anyone i want and than i will have no rookies (heppel isnt a rookie) starting in my back, mids or forward line and i have the cox smith combo in the ruck which is carving up. In fact my team is too strong i have knights on my bench.
i made three mistakes this week and that cost me the eliminator and will be a big slide down the rankings i reckon
played petrie over smith, could of had petrie in the forward lines aswell, would of saved me the buddy donut and i would of been better off i didnt trade sylvia and left pendles as C
ahh well back on the horse next week keeping to my plan but think smith will start always from now
My midfield of, Swan, Boyd, Selwood, Montagna, Judd, jacobs (cover) All scored below 90. Most of them well below...
Such a terrible week. Sorry guys!!! Looking forward to getting chappy and franklin back in the forwards though (hopefully sylvia pulls up alright)
Looking at 2100 with Sylvia's 21.
My slightly unique team is killing it. ;)
Highest score in the league again. :D
i got knocked out in the eliminator mainly due to the fact i had selwood captain instead of cox. Based onaverages my team should have won by a mile, he had mitchell, stevie j, bartel, pull out some big scores and i lost in some matchups i probably should.
Didak v Darling i paid 380k for the one who lost to the guy who was 100k
Pendles v Mithchell : draw
Selwood v Hibberd: basically a draw
Scotland v Lower : 13 point win.
ohh well at least the league is going well, top 8 and a huge percentage boost.
Windigo we are on fire the last 3 rounds you 2,1,1 me 3,2,2 good tihng i havent played you tghe last 3 rounds or you would have just edged me out.
But we will be playing next week. Watch out i might be bringing in Shaw and Sylvia in next week for knights and stanley.
Should be an interesting contest Holz.
Bringing in Deledio for Stanley.
I'm losing Boak & Swan though.......
I'm glad I could percentage boost you holz haha!

as soon as i saw sylvia on 21 and buddy out with prestia i knew you were in trouble. im down to 8 trades with 6 next week, so comes finals you will probably crush me.
i had the worst week a big slide in rankings back to 1623 from 344, hopefully my guns all pull up otherwise my trade to cover will be killed as it didnt work this week for me
I really need to write down my plans. I had something like 115k sitting in the bank, and no idea why...
Stanley > Fisher and Lower > Suckling with puopollo as my D8 leaves my team set minus last mid position. Debating pendles/thomas/ablett but if Barlow is back, then... barlow is back!
Getting in Scotlamnd this week.
Ousting Sandi. So I can keep Lower and trade Coad to Shaw.
around 600k in the bank, double upgrade this week :)
Or only the single upgarde if I.Smith is named?
Big match up between me and Holz this week:
Who will win? I have Boak & Swan out so I'm forced to do some shifting with my structure as I'm not confident on Prestia.....Or am I?
ME: VS Holz:
Suckling Bartel
A.Swallow (C) Selwood
Redden Pendlebury
Hibberd Knights
Goodes Deledio
Prestia Chapman
Lower Didak
Mundy
Sylvia
I think stuffed up a bit, but Holz who will be your captain & who will you trade in? I'm getting Scotland. Montags is out * so is Swan for you also.
Can you update this? :P
i like the idea Windigo!
big match up for me too!

looks like a win for you, your backs and fwds kill his.
no idea i tried making a the match-up but its too hard not knowing yours. i will give you my lineup and can you do it, like love 4 the game did.
Gibbs, Scotland, Lids, Adcock, Goddard, Shaw, Heppel (good luck against that backline)
Pendles, Boyd, Bartel, Selwood, Chapman, Hibberd
Cox, Smith
Johnson, Franklin, Voldt, Petrie, Knights, Didak, Higgins.
Note my captain will be however Calvin puts as his number 1 this week.
lol holz... way to make your own decisions on that :P
Personally I trust my own judgement over Calvins lol. That being said, he can be useful in pointing in the right direction.
Swan and montagna out... and jacobs due to a bye... leaves my mids with hibberd, iles and prestia on the field! :/

you are right i actually dont pick his number 1 i just use his stats to pick my Captain, i normally end up picking his number 1 guy anyway based on the stats, tossing a coin between pendles and cox this week, my choice of selwood of cox got me knocked out of the eliminator so im leanging towards cox, with swan and daisy out.
for me it looks like it'll be between cox, ablett, A swallow and boyd. I haven't bothered crunching their stats yet (and haven't traded in ablett yet).
I think it'll end up being cox though, ablett + swallow h2h worries me, and boyd's not exactly in form atm in a struggling dogs team, while adelaide... suck :P
I reckon didak will have a big one vs Melbourne, however I am not ballsy enough to put the big C on him haha
Although, might risk it on Judd or Goodes

Should be fairly close ;)
On paper you would see that his team would score better but I've beaten him the last 3 weeks in the scoring.
Who will it be? ???
I think Holz will win...His mids will bring home the bacon...
Holz will probably win his matchup...
I've conceded defeat for like the next 3 rounds :/
Still think I can win. ;)
hawthorn this year have been a Dt bogey team, hopefully they don't do that to my gellong midfield. Hopefully prestia is a sub and scores 20, knowing my luck he will probably pump out a 100 point game.
My mids and back should win but i could get killed in the forward line.
Fwds I will win that match up.
Mids: On paper you would win that.
Backs: Once again you should come away with the choccies
Ultimately I need:
Redden:100+
Mundy: 110+
Lower: 90+
Prestia: Not to be the sub
A.Swallow: 150+ 8)
Need downers from Chappy & Selwood
So yeah, you SHOULD win. But still confident.
my team for this week:
Lids, Gibbs, Heppell, Lower, Stanley, Pup, Howard (Otten (E), Toy, Jacobs)
Pendles (C), Selwood, Bartel, Boyd, Chappy, Goddard (MONTAGNA, SWAN, Bewick)
Cox, Smith (SANDI, derickx)
Stevie J, Higgins, Goodes, Buddy, N.Voldt, Knights, Krak (Mzungu (e), Lynch, Richardson)
Normal best 22:
Goddard, Lids, Gibbs, Heppell, Lower, Stanley, Pup (Otten, Toy, Howard (E))
Pendles , Swan, Montagna, Selwood, Bartel, Boyd (Krak, Jacobs, Bewick)
Cox, Sandi (Smith, derickx)
Stevie J, Higgins, Goodes, Buddy, N.Voldt, Knights, Chappy (Mzungu (e), Lynch, Richardson)
As you can see backline needs work.
Otten is back and he could easily back another 50k. Do I hold my trades this week?
Considering:
Otten-Nicholson
Stanley-who knows
I plan to get Shaw and Fisher after their byes.
What to do?
14 trades, 30k.
Yeah man your backs need work.
Otten is playing this week and should have more cash to make.
If you can go Stanley>Scotland then do that.

That's the problem.
I think I might wait a week, not keen on getting rid either Lower/Pup/Otten yet. All playing and could mak enaother 50k. Lower potential keeepr (97 av last 3). Lynch-Howe and Stanley-Suckling next week.

more supirsed you traded out a unique for a common guy but im not sure if selwood will have a big one this week, if you brought in Pendles than it would be worse.
Final Matchup:
Shaw v Suckling
Deledio v Lower
Pendles v Mundy
Scotland v Redden
Bartel v Swallow
Didak v Mzungu
Chapman v Sylvia
Knights v Goodes
COX v SWALLOW
much closer now with the introduction of selwood and montagna out for me. The only matchup i would feel ripped off to lose is didak v mzungu as i paid 380k for dids and he has giving me nothing and i have mzungu on the bench.
im should be almost garunteed a 180-220 from my backs whereas you could score anywhere between 140-220, i still think its going to come down to captain chpices and more importantly if Swallow gets 80 or 140
As much as I love Boak, and If Port start playing better there is no doubt he will turn into the 100+ players which I believe he can reach.
Selwood has outscored Boak in basically every match. Yet my team is still the second best in out league. I'm assuming that most people have Joell. His inclusion will make my team stronger. ;)
Cox is looking good for yah at the moment...... :P
Cox's low score as captain for you Holz has just evened this match up! 8)

QuoteSwallow not having such a great game so far...quarter 1!
It's a curse, Redden & now A.Swallow
Both played GC and now both times I have been burned with the C. WTF?
update
Shaw v Suckling Shaw v 88 should be close
Deledio v Lower i should win
Hibberd v Pup Hibberd v 62 a new match up with his late inclusion should give me a slight edge in a close battle.
Pendles v Mundy slight edge
Scotland v Redden 107 < 109
Bartel v Swallow 94 > 88
Didak v Mzungu for the money i paid i hope to win
Chapman v Sylvia 76 v Sylvia probably lose
Knights v Goodes 66 > 90 didnt expect to win this one, when i saw knights score.
COX v SWALLOW 93 > 88 could have been really ugly looking at the top Dt scores for the roos.
That's me done. You win Holz and my team is flowered.
Mundy out. Fractured fibula/knee whatever. My DT is done. :(
I had bad luck against Holz too..
Mundy's injury gives me a chance vs Fenno in a replay of last year's grand final rematch for ELITE League!!
I dont have adcock or mundy and I put Judd as captain. I had to play Iles, hibberd and mzungu in the mids to fill in for swan and montagna out. Hibberd was a late inclusion. Been such a good week! And I am on track for a 2100+!! Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
That should rank highly this week spite..I will be lucky to get2000

i wasnt happy when i saw mundy down, how much bad luck can freo have, not the way i wanted to win this week. Are you going to keep him in or are you getitng him out, mitchell could be a nice unique to pick up.
Hm. If I get Mitchell I'd have like 6 hawks.
Puo, Franklin, Bailey, Suckling,I.Smith & Mitchy....
What I'd like is a unique gun.
I can afford any player with my 350 K.
Suggestions? Was gunna get Ablett......

ablett by a mile he is probably the best in the comp at the moment, i contemplated trading montagna or swan for him. Defintaely get him.
Ablett or murphy I reckon... Both pretty unique anyway...
1875 vs 1872
10th vs 9th (league)
Sylvia and didak +3 vs Shaw and Krakouer.
Massive match up!!!
Was thinking about getting Shiels. But no more byes and great scoring potential....

Didak + Pendles + Shaw v Sylvia + 58 if pendles breaks his leg, shaw gets the tag and diak does a didak than i could be in trouble. My team is flying at the moment but i have probably the least amount of trades left in the league, looking to take a top 4 spot this week. I wonder how many trades superstar has used, if its much mmore than me i think he could win the league easy.
How many do you have left..?
only 7
I think I have 12 left but montage and swan on the bench making me nervous..
my team is F*&ked got 1632 with capt pendles and sylvia to come can they score me 370 (yes, but will they)!!
using up all my money on going stanley to shaw didt work too well, typical as soon as i buy him he trns to rubbish. I should have just gone broughton and knights to sylvia as was my second option.
Just got in from working most of the day to see Shaw, Pendles & Didak not scoring as good as they should and Sylvia carving.....
Your up by 10 at the moment.......Bloody MUNDY. :(

thanks to junk i won by 100 if mundy handt of got injured it would have been interesting next week will win i have no swan, pendles, shaw, didak, and possibly montagna and selwood.
My mids could be Boyd, Bartel, Jacobs, Mzungu, Donut, Donut ithan i would have to trade selwood to gaz if 3 weeks and bewick to any rookie playing than the week afyer pick up sylvia leaving me with 4 trades for the rest of the season and a crazy strong mid
Boyd, Bartel, Gaz, Jacobs, Mzungu, Golby , Dannyz D00dz you should be scared.
Loves the junk. :P
3rd highest score this week in the league!
Next week I will have montagna, swan and selwood on the bench. I have enough cover (somehow) but I think I will need to trade one of them or I will lose way too many points. I have Judd so murphy is off the table... I am looking at trading selwood to Ablett? Next week I will be tempted to trade in Barlow...
Selwood>Shiels & Mundy>GAJ for me.

Selwood>Shiels & Mundy>GAJ for me.
How much money do you have in the bank? How much will Shiels cost?
I was going to get my final midfielder this week, but I will have to delay it again!!! Damn injuries!
I checked all the prices using the FF projected thing on the home page.....I can do this:
Mundy>GAJ & Selwood>Shiels
Next Week:
Lower>Scotland & Stanley>ANY BACK (Shaw, Deledio etc)
BACKS: Goddard, Gibbs,
Scotland, Deledio/Shaw, Suckling, Adcock & Heppell Puopolo, Jacobs & Coad
MIDS: Swan, Boyd, Redden, A.Swallow,
Shiels, & Ablett Prestia, Hibberd & Bewick
8 trades and a full team after that!
QuoteHow much money do you have in the bank?
$ 345,000 in bank right now. 8)

The worst part in that, is that it is purely luck, you have a solid team!
From the Brisbane website:
Jed Adcock
Jed is having surgery on his finger on Wednesday. He’s had a finger fracture for a while that we were hoping when splinted would re-unite, but it’s actually getting further displaced so he’ll have the screw put in his finger on Wednesday and we’ll know more then about time frames.
Glad I missed that boat... Chappy is also on the injury list listed as a foot injury and 'test'... :(
yea seen adcocks i am stuffed no amount of trades will get me out of this, new rule no injury prone players at all next year if they have been near an injury on the field they're not making my side :P

I've just excepted the fact that I will have 5 trades for injuries instead of 9 haha. Will be down 7 this week :/
Then next week poo > rookie and Iles to Premium... Otten as D8, and team completed. Funny how things turn out
rd 12 was to be my team complete massive rd turned out a lil different
Zac smith out means I have 3 injured players and two trades. Copping a donut after all. Wonderful!
maXimus Bailey, bring it home!! :D
i was going in with a possible 3 donuts but i had so many guys play that wernt a 100% chance of playing, bailey, i.smith, hiiberd, bewick, and MONTAGS.
i actually have cover and now i can choose between Gaz and Knights or Mitchell and Sylvia. leaning towards option 2.
Trades are dwindling.
^ ill be on 7 when I swap knights to sylvia lol.
I should win this match up.

How do people use up so many trades? Chasing after boats? :P
midfield donut this week with swallow out
trading selwood to gaz
mundy to mitch i reckon
cop 1 donut
The one time where having Pendles & Swan back fires I suppose. I assume you have Pendlebury?

i did it for cash, thats how i have someone i paid 380k for sitting on my bench as my 8th forward.
No Donut wooohooo (for now) i didnt think Tags was playing you lil beauty.
welcome ablett and thompson goodbye selwood and mundy man it sucks trading two players you traded in
team is still looking gittery but is getting there
no more freakin injuries thanks return of pendles and swans will make me a happy man
midfield is looking a bit iff this week
boyd,thompson, scotland, ablett, chapman, tags
Didant realise so many people went boyd cpatain, hopefully mitchell pumps out a 130+ that should help my ranking. I feel sorry for the Knights owners ( got rid of him 10 minutes before lockout), he should never had played if it was that bad.
I have knights... I feel like I should give up now :( I haven't even logged on to see if I made Judd or Boyd captain, I forgot which one I changed it to before lockout but I have a feeling that it was boyd.
*SIGH*
I have Knights and Boyd but Boyd's only my VC.

UPDATE wow some huge scores coming out today from your team
Higgins v Knights 105 v 20 this could save me with how the other matchups are going.
Chappy v Fyfe close
Jacobs v Gaz Jacobs v 135 im going to get murdered in this matchup
Montagna v Murph probably lose
Scotland v Rawlings Scotland v 117 im happy the roos won but its not looking like a win anymore
Lids v Scukling Lids v 111 hopefully i dont lose too many points on this one
Hibberd v Enright 80 v Enright great work hibbo hopefully enright gets the tag and i can make up some ground.
on paper you should have won by a mile but knights helped me out alot. Pity i had to come up against a team with only swan and dis in it, i have those 2 and pendles + shaw on the bench.
Goodluck

That's me Windigo!
I have an extremely expensive bench in Swan, Pendles and Selwood. Decided to go Darling to Howe and swap Mundy for Mitchell.
The Knight's spud score hurt me last night but I guess that you're hurting a lot with Boyd as capt (I did a late swap from him to Mitchell as Capt). I'm very confident I might get the win this week but having 3 rookies playing in the mids could really really hurt me!
Looking forward to what evolves! Good luck mate!
Off to a flying start with Boyd Captain, worse than Swallow from last week.
QuoteI'm very confident I might get the win
I think my back 'rookies' will outscore your mid ones chatters.
I don't even read Calvin's captains and I've been burned putting a gin mid captain vs GC so I put Boyd as captain....WTF is going on. His form is so up & down this year.
Hoping to knock off superstar this week!
890/8 Vs 1033/10 both captains played!
Hope you do L4G, Superstar has had some lucky games where he has scraped through.
Just thought I'd add this:
REDDEN GOING BONKERS!!!!! ;D
stkilda v gellong worst ever game in Dt histroy for me, i have 6 'premiums' playing.
Bartel 2, montagna subbed off for 45, and at the 20 minute mark of the 3rd quarter i have voldt on 20, goddard 48 and luckily chappy on an anverage game of 61.
What a shower game Dt wise.
Good work from Red-Dog. Put's some respectability into my team.
Funny, if I had Mitchell as captain I would be like 16/1620+
Instead: 16/1502.
Mzungu, Lower, Cox, Sylvia, Goodes & Gibbs.
I need an average of 99 to net 2100. 116 for 2200...... :o
Doable? (2100) :(
Bloody Hell Holz.
I was pretty lucky that the hawks played GC this week ;D
who would of thought in 1 day i would go from should easily beat elephants to looking like i will strugle to hit 1900.
I am 1368 with 6 to come so i doubt i will hit 2k either.....
My trades this week of Selwood to Mitchell and Montagna to Ablett netted me 267 points. That pretty much saved me this week. I am already playing a man down, but have Gibbs, Judd (captain), cox, sylvia, goodes and mzungu to play. It's not unrealistic to think they can score 670 for me to hit the 2k mark... would be very happy given knights 20 and rooey's 29...
Won my league match though already :/
my team has decided to fail all at once * sigh* my contribution to this league was good for the first 10 rds

that was my plan but selwood to Mitchell and Knigts to Sylvia didnt turn out too bad.
Would be looking at 2200 if I had Mitchy C. Pretty weird hey?
My match has been sewed up virtually:
Sylvia Pavlich
Lower VS 30 point lead
Mzungu
In the bag I would say.

Hibberd v Enright 80 v 86
Jacobs v Murphy
Scotland v Fyfe
and 54 points down
holz, looks like you're about to be boned :P Although hey, personally I hope murphy does a bartel and gets subbed off for 2, so that might save it for you ;)
all i need is a 200 from jacobs and it should all be fine.
Im stuffed this week i will probably go down 5000 spots with a 1750 this week.
Bartel, Montagna, Goddard and Voldt scored they same as Mitchell.
actually upon looking at some of the scores from guys in this league i might not go down much at all if i can crack a 1800.
jacobs sub yay now i will need a huge score from cox to even get 1800, elephants nice win
I'm going to win almost all of my leagues with 1850..go figure!!
Flower. If only Mitchy as C!!!
I'll get about 2000+ with Cox.
Is 2000+ a good score this week? Looks like it will be. Hoping for a surge in the rankings! :D
2000+ will be a great score!
Quote2000+ will be a great score!
If I had Mitchell captain I would be on 2150+
Instead I busted a 2029. Fairly happy with that and hoping for a -1000 in the rankings? :o

no chance of 2150 with mitchell captain unless you had no C or VC playing. I think this is my worst ever Dt week scrape in a rubbish 1800 thanks to great efforts of Goddard 56, Boyd 70, Bartel 2, Montagna 45, Jacobs 21, voldt 26 and smith 99 and bewick 76 on the bench.
Cant wait till lockout ends, take my stkilda spuds off get jacobs off the field and bring on Swan, Pendles, Shaw and Didak.
Quoteo chance of 2150 with mitchell captain unless you had no C or VC playing.
Woops, 2091 if I had Mitchell C. :P
if i took off Bartel and Voldt and replaced them with bewick and smith i still wouldnt have cracked 1950.
We will lose Franklin for a week.
So that's Roo, God & Franklin out.
Swan will be my only inclusion. Still waiting on Adcock to come back.

bring on 2012 death to the byes and hopefully the sub rule, I have had enough. Im also studying for a really hard exam, the only thing keeping me going is Wimbledon is about to start. My players better not go out round 1 or im going to be super annoyed and not even a 200 from Swan next week will make up for it.

Is Swan in this week? Need to choose a good skipper this week!
1965 gives me the 3rd highest score in the league?
Ok... Thanks Juddy for the 85 as captain, at least you beat boyd!!! (Judd was 27 at halftime...)
EDIT* The curse of playing me continues, taking down 2nd place to a league low :s

hopefully you lose your second game in 2 weeks i should have a full strength team ready to take you on.
I probably won't have a full strength team. My team seems to be getting worse rather than better. Mundy last week, Bartel this week and somehow im still in the Eliminator
my team is plain rubbish
whats the status on adcock how long for?
2-3 weeks.
Otten > Adcock in 4 weeks as D8 possibly...
Getting my last premium mid in this week I think, a little bit disappointed that I can't get pendlebury this season :( ... Doesn't look like I will be able to get a super premium after all...
I could go anyone under 387k, but would prefer to save some $$$ if I could in case of injury's later this year.
Jobe, Rockiff, Montagna are on my radar.
If I wait one more week, I will be able to get 387k + The price rise of Hibberd (or Otten) and Iles (which is likely to be a combined total of close to 50k due to them both having very low B/E's)
Ok, I seemed to have answered my own queastion... will wait.... um, thanks... :) haha
lol I keep receiving new posts from this topic, may as well put it to good use :)
is it worth getting in the best midfielder in the competition at the expense of a roller coaster unique?
^ yes. Unless the roller coaster is bottomed out. Overall, the best player is obviously the best choice, for league, it's a bit different, you basically gamble on the rollercoaster pulling you through your big games and having quiet games during unimportant matchups.
However, if you're low on trades, and the difference is like 150k, the rollercoaster could be worth a shot.
For instance, dal santo carried me this week to an 8 point eliminator victory.
ahhh each week is a struggle to get 22 on the park now. only good news was i climbed in rankings and still inside top 3 k

once this week is over i should have no issues, the only probalem is i will be forced to play stkilda players (didnt think i would ever say that).
here is a question will people be picking Goddard and Voldt next year.
Gaddard yes Volt probably not

Quote from: Chopps on June 24, 2011, 11:23:42 AM

Was never going to be a part of my final team so he is out of here even without is recent form slump I didn't see him good enough as a 7th forward.
Hoping to smash you this week fenno. I sold knights this week too. Montags had to go as well!
Well I have assistant coach and after the first game your predicted to win by 3pts. So its going to be a close one
Knights -> Callinan to allow me to start Isaac Smith = Masterstroke :)
If you think that was a masterstroke I tipped Smith in the DT talk sportingbet comp for most points surely nobody else would have tipped him. Well I hope not.
Fenno my friend that is a masterstroke but what made you think he would?????
no idea just that everyone always goes with the normal guns so I thought I would mix it up and after watching last weeks game and thinking Smith looked the goods I decided why not. Didn't really think he would get up but the unique pick may have worked I either tipped 124 or 127 I forget now so hope nobody else picked him.
Well I was always gunna start Smith.
Was a dynamo in the ballarat league. :D

Should be a tight match. I was glad I had smith on the field.
I think my match vs Footy God is way in my favour.
With Bartel out as well for him. :D
I started like a house on fire... 571/4 (including mitchell as captain)
I hope mzungu plays, I didn't put richadson as emg... chose to put an emg in back/forwards and rucks incase sandi pulls put (kreuzer emg)
Smith to Kreuzer sideways trade for me this week. Realised that Smith plays hard teams when he needs to fill in round 15 and 16 (has Freo/Sandi and Sydney/Mumford) while Kreuzer plays richmond and bulldogs. Hope to make up some ground then.
Tad risky, but Kreuzer will look to take the extra step to become an elite ruck in the weeks to come. ;)
Quote from: Windigo on June 25, 2011, 02:58:43 PM

I needed to do something, I have had 3 good weeks in a row now, scoring near the top of the league and am starting to catch up ground.
Also, if I didn't do that, I was going to double trade and get Jobe Watson as my last mid.... so glad I didn't do that!!!
*EDIT Just saw that not only did I not put richo as emg... I could have also put callinan or prestia too... arghhhh
should be a very tough match in my game but is made alot easier when i see sandi on the bench as emergency and smith on the field :) for my opponent.
Shaw v Otten
Pendles v Thompson
Bewick v goodes
Didak v Darling
and down by 100 i think im int trouble.
Not regretting getting Kreuzer in now with sandi out... it has completely ruined my plans, I will be left with 3 trades at this rate with a full premium team :/
Since I only need cover for next round and round 23 in the rucks, I don't want to get a premium. Since I need someone who will play both those games, should I get a bailey/fraser type player? Would need to pocket roughly 140k from the sandi trade to get Hibberd/Iles to Swan...
I have didak and knights too... fmdt. Didak needs to go too...
EDIT* Stroke of genius? If Lobbe is named next week too, I can downgrade Sandi to Lobbe and then upgrade Iles to a mid premium and have left over cash. I.Smith covering for didak if he is out next week. Then I can go Didak to Petrie the following round which will allow cover in round 23 when Kreuzer is out. Thoughts on that?
My match has been sewn up but 12 points down in my match vs my mate.
Swallow VS Goldstein....
He doesn't have Roo or God. So he has his 'full strength side'. He is averaging only 1700 a game.....
Hanley=WTF? Enright some ludicrous score. Harry Taylor etc.
Goldstein dominating because of no Brogan. Swallow carrying in injury
It's like I'm not SUPPOSED to win. >:(

Do yah reckon 2150 good enough for a rise through the rankings of approx 300-350 spots????
Im going to say no. I think you will rise but probably not that much. really I have no idea but I just don't think it will give you that much of a rise.
why did i play howard over jacobs :( atleast i got smith on the ground.
team is actually looking good,

Saints have the best run the next couple of weeks. I was thinking of trading him IN but will probably go with scott thomspon or redden...
ok so i am in a bit of hard place wouldnt mind some advice
current team (no trades needed for now)
Back
Scotland, Gibbs, Deledio, Heppel, Goddard, Gram, Puopolo <Adcock, Hibberd, Howard>
Mid
Boyd, Pendles, Thompson, Swan, Ablett, Joey <Swallow, Jacobs, Mzungu>
Rucks
Petrie, Smith <Bailey Cox>
Forward
Fyfe, Sylvia, Goodes, Franklin, Chappy, Smith, Riewoldt <Higgins, Richardson, Tippet>
how would you line this team up assuming they are all playing?
Adcock in for poo with the emg set on poo
emg on swallow in mids
hmmm I would probably play Bailey and smith in rucks and move petrie into the forwards instead of smith um wait, play higgins over smith? leave the rucks and you are fine.
Smith vs collingwood? might be a bit harder for him i would guess
this is the 2nd or third time I've heard adcock mentioned tonight- Is he due back already? I thought he had a week left...
Yea Higgins on an smith as e petrie to ruck Joey has to play and puo might become suckling, Bailey or z smith
Didak and Knights out really hurt me in the forward line. There are too many holes in my team for my liking. Sandi to K.tipett this week allows didak to o'keefe and will allow me to get any premium midfielder for iles next week. And then that is team done with only 3 trades remaining which is shower with cox and kruezer as my main ruckmen :s ...
Oh Byes how you have killed me this year :/
bartel and didak have killed me in the last 2 rounds i have got a return of 2 and a donut from bartel, 20 something and a bye from dids great thats what i payed over 800k for.
just made my last two trades for an upgrade, team is to 3 trades, didnt want to be at three at this stage but they are all LTI trades, i reviewed my stratergy (should of done it 5 rounds ago)
and i am bang on with my initial plan
with cox out this week i am fielding one rookie in Smith the rest of my team is ... we will call them established players, some are questionable if they are premium
but with 8 bench players playing, 1 bye and 1 known dead weight (jippet)
i am all round pretty happy, i am sure it will go sour quickly

ah that does suck
besides cox and didak i have a full side and i have smith and smith covering them so its not alll bad. Still down to 5 trades but i have everyone playing except tippet, cox (bye), didak (1-2 week injury) and toy so not all bad.

Adcock v Fisher
Swan v Ablett
Montagna v Iles
Johnson v Goodes
93 v Ablett
on paper i think i should win but boyd as captain has hurt me, hopefully tags, adcock and swan repay my faith and actually give me a decent score. Montagan in particular i need to destroy Iles as this is probably the only matchup i should clearly win. I think ablett will be the key to whoever wins this week im hoping for a sub 100 (plus that should make it cheaper for me to brin him in next year).
I had Boyd skipper too..Argggghhh...Happy with Higgins though!!

i want swanny to get 150 even though he was my second captain option and it will annoy me, not only as he is one of my matchps this week but than i can lock him in as captain for the rest of the year.
Swan, Goddard, Voldt,l, Ablett, Sandilands all locked in and Dids, Grimes, Brown, Mundy, Selwood, bartel, Broughon all looking like possibilities for next year.

Hows that Smith to Krezuer trade looking now guys! Tipett in this week for an 88 was a good call too, he should destroy the last 5 rounds (vs easy teams)

Good game Chopps. I desperetly needed that win to try to get back into the top 8! Looking forward to a huge game in 2 weeks time against Darwin Jabirus!
glad i could help :D thats me outta the 4
smashed out the 4th highest score in the league with boyd captain.
Moving up the total points ladder too, one spot per week...
I can get any midfielder for my last midfield upgrade. (I can spend over 500k)
I have Judd and I have mitchell so shiels and murphy don't look so good.
Selwood is due back now correct? Or in a week? So it is pretty much selwood or pendlebury? What do you guys think?
I also only have 2 outs this week. I planned for this bye pretty well. (Didn't get pavlich/fyfe for this reason)
I would jump on Selwood. Would be a bit unique now
selwood for unique but rd 22 bye / pendles is a good choice.
wow 2180 was sub par lost rankings and slid further down the ladder what is going on how is my team that bad

Ha..glad you came over to my way of thinking!!
What do you guys think of Duigan to Fisher/Shaw or Birchall after his bye!! Any other options??
Thinking of going Smith to Lobbe to free up some cash..
Already have Gibbs, Enright, Dids, Suckling, Goddard, Lower...
Shaw & Fisher will hurt you with downers.
Dunno about Birhcall & his consistency past few years. But if you can afford to wait a week. I'd snaffle him up. All Australian in his sights.
I would go fisher, I love the guy. Always in my dreamteam by years end every year. Shaw is on my never again list. Birchall could be a very good unique, if you are willing to wait.
What do you guys think about this very risky move.
Otten to O'Keefe or 80k rookie that is def/mid
178k + 66k (bank) = 244k
Iles + 244k = 508k
Iles to Montagna leaves 179k bank
Next week,
I. Smith to Pavlich leaves 75k
Mzungu to Bartel leaves ~>10k
And no trades...
Bartel would be cover on the bench for byes, and pav would make knights go to the bench.
I would still have hibberd/jacobs along with puopollo to cover backline.
Baring injury and a bye in the same week, I could potentially go through the rest of the season with a premium team every week.
No trades=no way IMO.
But sounds like your keen on the idea.

Yeah I think I will just nab pendles and save up some cash. I might get lecras as a unique for smith if I'm desperate, or fyfe if smith pops out a 100.
I just like the idea of having a player to replace an injured player rather than saving a trade and trading out an injured player for a healthy one. Obviously there are pros and cons to each side however I really feel like I am thinking outside the box (for good or for bad, i am not sure) and I will just roll with it. The way I see it, when someone is injured, they drop in price and you can trade him for someone worth less. With extra premiums, you can play a premium team still and allow the injured player to recover and you maintain a premium team. You also get to pick and choose your starting 22, (who to play every week rather than play the only premiums you have). Although the downside is that you have one less healthy player on your team, because you are carrying an injured player.
If Mzungu and bartel reach the same price, I would gladly use my final trade to 'sideways' trade.
@Flame, you quoted but didn't comment?
@Windigo especially, I see in your posts that you do not want pendles. I am 100% with you in this one, he just doesn't look like he can pop out the 115+ consistently anymore, which is why I was considering montagna because if he averages 15 less ppg, thats 120 points lost in the season, but I can get pavlich instead of mzungu to cover byes... which should gain me more than 120 points (I would hope!)
Birchall's last 10 were really good until this one but expected playing collingwood.
spite i wouldnt go to 0 trades
i understand your thinking,
i kept swallow as a 7th mid, gram is currently my 8th def (not calling him premium by any means), riewoltd is technically my 8th forward been using petrie in the rucks when i can, bailey will probably take ruck 2
i have 3 trades left thinking of downgrading Z Smith this week to free cash so my lti's can be upgrades otherwise i ll be searching for the best at a price and i dont like doing that, i always pay premium for premium, except gram i paid for who knows what
So your gunna leave like 2-3 trades left for the season?
I have 6 and a full side.
QuoteWindigo especially, I see in your posts that you do not want pendles. I am 100% with you in this one, he just doesn't look like he can pop out the 115+ consistently
I have nothing against the bloke. But he might just revert back to his 105-110 average by the end of the season.
I was thinking of trading for Swallow. But decided not to. I figured Swallow has to much up side & I wouldn't be gaining much. I just hope he gets a ton this week......Vs the Pies... :-[
Spite-I was going to say..don't trade!
I would be going to 2 trades maybe with cash and cover last week I had 9 of 11 bench playing, probably stay on 3 trades this week, spite going to 0 trades now is crazy
I think we should have everyone in out league fess up to how many trades left.
But who actually posts in out champs league thread on a regular basis.
Me, Chopps, Flame, Spite, Fenno......Some people haven't be on for a month. ???

i think you forgot me but than again i think most people know i have been down to 5 trades for a long time.
well i will fess up got three but i am pretty happy with my team + cover disappointments are probably only sylvia and gram at the moment,
Windy I have 8 to go...Maybe doing a risky Smith to Lobbe..duigan to fisher!! I should still have the cash to do Lower to Birch the week after.
5 trades left for finals and LTI's..... team done!!
Quote5 trades left for finals and LTI's..... team done!!
Do you reckon I should do the same & trade Z.Smith.
Problem is the best I can do are these options:
Jolly
Leuenberger
Mumford
Any ruck other than Goldy or McEvoy. ::)
What I MAY do is wait a week & get Jacobs.
Ideas?
Not sure if you'd get much out of it windigo!
Save your trades!
Yeah I will just get pendles and leave it at that I think.
I have 4 trades at the moment but have done some sideways of late to gain some extra points on everyone. (Which has led to a 6k overall increase in the past 4 weeks)
I could have had a finished team and 6 trades... Jriewoldt to Didak to O'keefe sucked in a few trades too many (5 total :/)...
I have finished the past couple of years with trades still to burn, so thought that with the bye and extra trades, I would acutally use them... but that being said, I have never finished outside of the top 10k (and have finished the last 3 years in the top 2k) before and I am close to that 10k mark now which may have caused some panic trades...
I really hate the bye. :(
If Buddy is out too, will any of you be looking at a donut?
I have I.smith and prestia to cover Sylvia and Knights, but cam richo as my last forward... oh ho...
QuoteNot sure if you'd get much out of it windigo!
Yeah I won't be doing it. ;)
QuoteIf Buddy is out too, will any of you be looking at a donut?
Don't be too concerned as of yet. All I'm hearing is a rolled ankle and is a test. Whole lotta a fear mongering going on. Especially in that article.
Don't believe everything you read.
I tip him to play..But if he doesn't, I have Prestia to cover.
if he is out i might have a slight issue but i'll worry about that tonight ?
gram v brisbane port
adcock v hawks
based on adcock playing hawks thinking of starting gram but not sure
other six
Scotland, birchal, gibbs, Goddard, Heppel, deledio,
bench
jacobs & howard
Gram is dodgy. :-\
......Ah Chopps, that doesn't make sense. Saints are playing port. :P
so he is lol
that makes no sense haha anywho gram is playing a shower team is my point. three teams in that game if gram plays brisbane and adcock plays hawks lol
Hey Windigo, it seems that your pre season unique pick, Brad Symes seems to be hitting some form. He has a b/e of 6 and has scored a 112 and 91 when not the sub in the last two weeks. Would he be worth a D8 position? (Obviously not for me because I don't have the trades to be picking up another player haha)
Ah yes, Brad Symes. If it wasn't for him not playing round 1 I would have had him in. But alas I got Adcock because of it.
Though I got lucky with not getting Symes. But now Adcock is playing shizen & Symes is playing good.
I reckon he would make a great 7th back even. Thing is though he finds the ball a lot which is great for DT, but he doesn't use it well all the time. That's why he is in & out of the side so much. Also he is injury prone.
But a great pick non-the-less. :)
Symes would be a good unique. He can find the ball!!
We are all going to have to post score updates I guess to see how we are going because there is really no way to judge. Obviously now it is a bit irrelevant but after 10/12 players or so...
Had mitchell over GaJ captain this week, hope it pays off...
Adcock is flowering everything up! >:(
Redden slaying (as usual, love this bloke!) hoping he can off set a shower score from the adCock again.
625 as of now!
Mitchell, Suckling, Redden, Smith, Buddy & Adcock playing.
Hope to break 800/8. Need Adcock to do something! :(
771/7 but captain mitchell played.
I don't think suckling scored in the final quarter which killed any chance of 100 per player average.
760/8 mitchell has been a gun for me 129 average since i got him. adcock let me down
749/8. Ablett needs a 125+ as my C for 100 per player average.
But good things is I only have 'guns' to go. Hoping H.Shaw can get a big one & A.Swallow to get a ton for once.
2200 possible I reckon.
Quote760/8 mitchell has been a gun for me 129 average since i got him. adcock let me down
Captain this week? Was it Mitchy?
I reckon shaw will post 110+ and A.Swallow will hit 85. I don't have either, just had a feeling shaw would rip it up this week.
i hope shaw kills it, he has been kliing me since i got him.
I have the great dane as captain, hope he tears ablett to bits.
Ablett...... :(
Got subbed in QTR 2. :(
I lost 82 points because I had Boyd over GaJ captain last week.
I gained 96 points because I had mitchell over GaJ captain this week. That's a win in the long run I guess, except that GaJ is injured which is shower.
looking like going mitchell over gaz was the crrect thing to do, he is averaging 129 over the 4 rounds i have had him
Mitchell was a great pick up Holz..I will wait for news of course but Mitchell is my No 1 pick for a replacement for Ablett.
2264 good to see my team gets crushed 2 weeks in a row and than rallies when no game is being played. Hopefully i will move up in the rankings overtake those ablett owners that overtook me last week.
I think I'm starting to hit some good form. I averaged 2258 from the past 3 rd's. Looking forward to a good game with Darwin coming up and hopefully cracking back into the top 8.
Another decent week with 2158, and yes I do have ablett, and I move up another 3k. That's 9k in 4 weeks and from 15th in league points to 11th and only 16 points behind 9th.

Yeh 42nd overall, I got lucky. But of course no league games! I'm going to be really aggressive on the run home. I'll be trading in Fyfe this week which will give me a full prem fwd line w/ buddy on the bench this week. I traded in Scotland last rd with Heppell to provide cover for the backs and mids. Fyfe can also cover the mids. This way I will be able to have a full premium team even when my team (as well as every1 else's) is hit by the bye's. I'm backing on no LTI's, because 1 or 2 week injuries I'll be able to cover without an issue. So watch out because I will be making a move! :)

Yep thats my aim too. But I am 12k short for fyfe.... :/ Thinking of going LeCras or Kennedy with their easy run home.
But could go Smith to Bartel and hope that mzungu scores 72+ while LeCras scores 85 or below so I can do mzungu to LeCras the week after.
Decision, decisions... but in the end, it all comes down to Ablett!!!!

Yeh thankfully I dont have the Ablett problem to worry about - which was reflective in this weeks score. I certainly think LeCras could be a good pick up, particularly with more midfeild time he has been getting. He would be a premium if he spent 100% of his TOG in the mids no doubt. The other one I was considering was Harvey (before I worked out I could have Fyfe - then it was a no brainer!). He is a unique, can score well, DPP and in my case his bye would have no affect on me as I don't have Petrie.
Once again Ablett injury really nothing. He could even play this week. But 1-2 weeks MAX.
Scans today but the Tigers beckon for Gazza. If you saw the game & when he was warming up to come back on he looked alright on the knee. Might be a bit sore, but certainly not serious at all. ;D

GAJ likely this week.
Good work windigo.
I hope he plays this week, don't really want to have to start so many rookies... Will start 3 if he doesn't play. Feel like that is a little too many this late in the season.
I have to start Tendai, Stanley & Lobbe/Harper. Not too worried really.
Do you think I should oust Andy Swallow? Really like him as a player & his the one I tipped to have the a great season (DT wise) really pissing me off when I could have got Dasiy, Rocky etc cheaper. :(
P.S: The best I could afford would be Judd. So might as well keep him and come what may I suppose.
"It's fair to say that if Gary can get through the majority of Wednesday's training session, we'd expect him to be available for selection this week."

I only have to start one rookie (not counting Heppell as a rookie) even with Birchall, Mitchell and Franklin out. I have to choose out of Mzungu or Jacobs, but favouring Jacobs as he is playing Melbourne and Mz is up against Swans.

A.Swallow has been a big disappointment in the past few games particularly and is one of the key's to Nth Melbournes fate. I would say he would have to bounce back this week like the whole team. I would keep him, but maybe (trades permitting) try to get an extra mid premium in and use A.Swallow as a back up option, just a thought.
Also I'd take it that you're slightly hopeful that GAJ plays sooner rather than later going by all your post's mentioning that he's not too far away :P I hope for your sake (and GC) he isn't out for too long, but maybe they can find a new roll as a sub for him for my sake ;-)
Not enough trades for anything flash.
I'll have to keep. History has shown this year that he has 3 shower weeks then busts a ton......

Cox or even Enright as unique options, but probably not worth the risk!

I cannot get any luck. So he'll have virtually a full team & I'll have Mitchell, Buddy & Suckling all out of the starting line up. >:(
LOL.
....Yeah I have 2.... :P
Well now I am left with 1 trade... great.
No injuries or betting suspensions for the rest of the year please!
1 left? did you have heater
bartel v bris
or
joey v eagles

Good luck Boys....
Bit late now for you chops but I would have said Joey.
I only have two left spite. Who'd you get in for shaw?
im down to 3 trades and i still have shaw. Will turn him into fisher when i can. I have 8 forwards though so that should be helpful.
Shaw was pretty much the same cost as lids.... i was thinking that symes could have been a unique pick for people too but didn't hop on him myself.
Good luck this round everyone :)
I like Symes (as you would know from the start of the season) but I think there is risk buying him. Could be the sub & can be easily left out of the squad every week. I need all players playing each week & so I went Martin.
not sure why mish has 2 emergencies in the backline cost him 25 points.
Mish hasn't been of FF for months. As soon as some people reach coach status they turn off.....
Also, interesting that "Pork Hunt's" has Shaw on field with jacobs on bench but not with EMG.
But helps me! 8)
Seems like some coaches in our League are asleep at the wheel. :P
Who did you get for Shaw holz? I got Stefan Martin. All I could afford.....Could have got Deledio but was never too keen on him.

i didnt get anyone i brought in fyfe so i have super cover of my mids and forwards i have jacobs playing and i plan on getting in fisher when he drops in price.
Fyfe??
Who did you trade out....

Nice Holz. I brought in fyfe to cover byes an injuries in the fwd/mids and I have heppell to do the same in backs/mids. Seems to be the way to go this year with the extra trades that were given out and the disruption that byes can have.
On another point, not happy with Howe being a sub!
had to choose between joey and jimmy and i went jimmy only time will tell if that was the right choice but i dont think so considering joeys 124
worst score from 15 players is heppel the way it should be really
love when ya cant decided who to put captain and they score the same
man i am gonna lose to patto's prostitues
cakehornes v patto's
Gram 100 v Fisher 99
Adcock v Broughton
scotland 86 v stanley 93
Thompson 111 v Montagna 124
fyfe v stevie j
currently up by 19 points and i think stevie j and broughton will easily outscore my other two.
my choice of jimmy to play over joey didnt change anything for this match
SpudiusMaximus 2.0 Vs Pork Hunts
Redden Broughton
Swallow ROK
Mzungu Fyfe
S.Johnson Chapman
Goodes ZERO
7 Point Lead 8)
Loves it when he hasn't got a single Hawks starter...No Buddy WTF? But having Shaw on field with no EMG on Jacobs will make it easier for me. It'll make up for not having a Hawk starter! ;)
Im Pattos Prostitutes.
Currently 3rd. 4 trades after next week when I get Carrots for Otten.
Team:
Goddard, Carrots, Fisher, Heppell, Lids, Broughton, Gibbs (D.Stanley, Toy, Howard)
Swan, GAJ, Pendles, Boyd, Montagna, Bartel (Jacobs, Krak, Callinan)
Cox, Petrie (Smith, Derickx)
Buddy, Chappy, Stevie J, Higgins, Sylvia, Goodes, N.Roo (Mzungu, Lobbe, Richardson)
Bold=first reserve.
Stanley can cover any defence or mid.
Mzungu/Krak can cover any mid/forward.
Z.Smith can cover any forward.
Playing Chopps this week and should get up
This is Andy Swallow's day.....It has to be for my sake. :(
i thought i would have had this game when i saw the list of teams i got killed by the rookies.
this is the rookie list its unbelievable
ME v HIM
Scotland v Enright tie, would expect to win this 1
Adcock v Stanley 81 v 93 didnt expect to lose this.
Jacobs v Lower 64 v 130 thats very annoying as i traded lower to jacobs
Pendles v Murphy 123 v 98 finally pull out a win
Fyfe v Ablett 105 v 101 good matchup and im happy to basically tie it
Johnson v Pav 74 v 97 not too happy but i knew it was a possibility
Chapman v Prestia 71 v 92 good thing i paid 300k more for this result
Mzungu v Otten 61 v 76 aother good rookie score
and Boyd v Dalhalus tie at half time. Ridicously good score by MIsh's rookies if dalhalus keeps his score for 4 quarters.
The rookies were ridocoulus i had 3 they average 72 and got 69 average, he had 6 that average 69 going into the game and they average 92.

Good game mate, was close. We almost had the same team on the park. 5 players different or something
Am I the only one who had boyd captain? Also am I the only one without petrie? It's hurting me this week, thats for sure!!!
Andy Swallow!!!! GO. 8)
Also K.Harper showing why he is regarded higher than Richo.

i dint think that many people had petrie but seems most do, i though i was looking good when bartel and montagna had big games but it seems im playing the only other guy with both in their team.
on a positive note carn the roos take down the dogs.
All I need is a bloke to get a big score. It's just not happening the last few weeks for me. Swallow I need 130+ :P
Swallow playing awesome but his hand balling all the time! Kick it for once!
Rawlings is hurting me so much!!!!
second highest score of course i am playing the highest score this week.
nice team johnboy
very similar teams.

WTF!? Petrie you beauty! I love it. Swallow delivered & Jay-Z? 41 touches? Lock him in for next year.
i think i just lost my chance to play finals
I don't have petrie!!!!!!!!!!!
He outscored rawlings by over 100 points!
Going into the final game, it was something like Boyd x2 and Rawlings vs Boyd and Petrie + 20ish . And I lost it!!!!
Petrie 60+ last QTR.

Think I play you this week, Windigo.
Wow the league is close on the way to the finals! 4-8 all on the same points and 9-11 all one game behind. I have a feeling that it is going to be very very shuffled!
A big game against the in form love4thegame this week for me, probably fall out of the 8 if I lose :(
ahh how good is it to say my worst two midfielders were ablett and swan, stupid thing is should of benched one of them for Joey
who looks like they will go in with a full side this week? hopefully nothing out of the ordinary for teams, will see me deciding who to play
current team
Backs
Gibbs, Scotland, deledio, goddard, Heppel, Gram, Birchall <Adcock, Jacobs, Howard>
Mids
Swan, Ablett, Boyd, Pendles, Thompson, Joey <Bartel, i Smith, Callinan>
Rucks
Cox, Petrie < Smith, Bailey>
Forwards
Fyfe, Goodes, Chappy, Franklin, Sylvia, Volt, Higgins <Mzungu, richardson, jtippet>
would you line this differently?
the last two games coming up are going see things heat up, 5 on 28 points and 3 on 24
@Chopps, Bartel vs Richmond and Boyd vs Sydney... be careful, its a hard one.

@Chopps, Bartel vs Richmond and Boyd vs Sydney... be careful, its a hard one.
hows it a hard one? i am inclined to go boyd on that one, bartel has only played richmond 2 since beginning of 09 form this year is actually not bad take the injury 2 from it he is averaging 100 but boyd is averaging 113 so i'll have to go with that
weighing up how the crows taggers will go on Joey?
2 games out of the 8 with 2 to go, not looking good. My strategy of balancing my team out to post good scores during the bye rounds has really killed me in the league.
maanco and chopps willing to take a dive to let an easy beat like me into the finals ;)
Errr chops, Montagna has posted 70, 112 and 151 in his past 3 vs the crows.
Boyd against sydney has posted 134,91,110,100 in the past 4.
Bartel actually hasn't played richmond very often at all.
I guess using those numbers, you'd sub joey. Sub bartel to be safe? My gut tells me Bartel will outscore boyd this round...
cant say i am willing to bench boyd at this stage. may still change my mind i really gotta look into more, with bartel not having played richmond much its hard to say

not as close as the league im in! last week the whole top 8 was on 7-5! with 9th-11th on 6-6 and 12th - 14th on 5-7.
this week the top 2 are on 8-5, then 3rd to 11th are on 7-6! 12th and 13th on 6-7. :P
thats pretty damn close drop a game or two and your out of the 8
It would be funny if number 2 had terrible percentage and lost next week and dropped out of the 8 :P
QuoteHey..you trading this week?
Nah mate! Team is all set & I assume no Port starters it should be a high-scoring tussle.

Dunno whether to bench Adcock or not
What are the matchups? ???
Will let you know nearer the end of the week. Same skipper though. I have. Couple of trade ideas.
need some help with selecting my team

adcock, gram or heppel
pick 1
joey or bartel

joey
why do you think i am asking :D i dont know either,
i was pretty much set on joey over bartel just have the info v tigers there had to bench a bloke coming off a 124 anyways
Adcock now browny is out is a must hope he returns to 95+ scores

Hey windigo. Traded in Petrie and fisher. Should get me over the line. Swan skipper.
Hmm, trading in Petrie after all these weeks. I would've said the boat would have sailed. Ah well.
Is he playing in the rucks?
I'm thinking that I should put Mitchell as captain.
Yeah..a bit late!! He can change with Lobbe. I thought he might have a big one against Brisbane. Post the new match ups Windigo..

I've put Mitchell as captain. I don't think Swan will get a 'score' that most think he will get.
But I must admit most of my unique captain choices have ended in disaster. :-[

Bit closer than I thought. But Lower & Puo better have 60ish games. Highly likely. Dunno who will win now.
You are on track to win windigo. I need outstanding games from my cats. Assistant coach has you scoring 2500+.
Oh wow.....But you've still got a chance. Like Chappy could slay. Puo & Lower are makers/breakers for you.

Yeah I need lower to get 130 this week and poo to get 80. It certainly is yours to lose!
Dude stranger things have happened.
I was playing against my mate last year & we had a bet that I would beat him. The bet was $ 10......Came down to Boyd Vs Higgins.
I had Boyd. Going into the game he had what I assumed was an insurmountable lead. But.....Higgins gets injured & I win by like 20 points. 8)
440 points down and i have Mitchell, Bartel, Fyfe and Stevie J to catch that up. Lose this match and my season is voer, lets see what the Heroes are made of.
if all perform to standard and one has a bit of a day out you will make 440

Also, I didn't know I was playing him in another league. :P
I lost by 5 :/ Could kill my final chances. Ouch!!!
Had 4 backline scores of under 66, not good enough!

yeah got abit lucky with Mundy bit i have had ohrrible luck in my leagues this year. In the FF elite league im sitting 4th on points and 13th on the table and just lost this week in both my leagues.
i thuogh i would be happy the day i got 2400+ but getting knocked out of the league doesnt help. At least my ranking should go up. I got 2600 and something in SC so thats pretty good.
Just had a quick look at the fixture for round 20, versing hodgey's hawkers for a spot in the top 8!
Also Chopps, congrats on the top 100 weekly ranking! And to spoil your fun, if you lose to Holz, you will nearly certainly fall out of the 8 barring any upsets, from 5th :) Pretty bloody close league!!!
Probably the biggest game is me & love4thegame.
If I lose, I could potentially drop out of the 8.
Big game. But even playing field as we both have Boyd & Higgo out. But geez, massive game.

Yep, didn't see that one, if you get smashed, you too could drop out of the 8. Going to be one heck of an intense round!
I need knights to come back this week, I won't cop a zero but to cover ROK and goodes, i would like knights and mzungu to be available.
I'm confident I can slay him! 8)

ROK, Goodes and Rooey out for me this week in the forward line. If knights doesn't play, I'll be a copping a big donut :/
looks like petrie is gonna be forward for me this week
play petrie & bailey/smith and mzungu/smith
or
petrie mzungu and smith?
Holzman if you're gonna beat me this next week do it by the minimal amount of points so my percentage stays in tack otherwise mathematically i could take a big slide :p thanks in advance

I will probably pull a huge score and you will still beat me so don't worry about it.
I bloody hope so, what's the go with higgins??
Dunno & don't care. I'm ousting.
im just short (as in 1k short) of guys like lecras, rioli. Would love to make the move but cant. Im playing mzungu, smith, jacobs and pup this week with no cover in the backs only smith in the mids and richo up front. So im in trouble this week.

i have 8 forwards so if dids actually plays than i shouldnt have too much of a probelm in the mids forward line and rucks department.
i am thinking of making a double to leave me with 0 trades
will leave me with higgins if he comes back and smith and mzungu as forward cover (dpp involved)
bartel as mid cover with 2nd cover as dpp from forward 3rd cover dpp from back
heppel and gram as back cover with the ability to go mid
petrie in forward being able to cover for smith
down side this involves getting rid of bailey as 3rd/4th ruck atm
this way i will have to field mzungu, smith & smith this week
"as a result, LeCras should play closer to goal" (AFL site) is not want a wanted to hear after a J. Kennedy injury!!!!
I have ROO, ROK and GOODES out in the forwards... ouch... mzungu, prestia, richo and knights (if playing) as cover though :)
Kruezer or K.Tipett on the field this week? Krueze against kanga (goldstein) or Kurt against (Lobbe/Trengove)?
@Holz, if you are going to cop a donut, you will have to trade. A trade remaining just saves you a donut later, may as well save one now and hope you hold out.
@Chopps, what trade were you making? I got confused in your past, sorry! :(
spite i got confused so i dont blame ya :P
not sure
current thought trade Bailey to cheapest ruck possible
upgrade Jacobs too who i like.
have strong cover and if higgins comes back i could use him rd 22
failing that
trade higgins too a dpp player for back from mids and upgrade Howard leaving me with plenty of cover still

no donut as of yet, just have to hope for no late withdrawals or i will be in trouble.
gonna keep higgins and hope he comes back only needed him for rd 22 anyways, bet ya he gets up in rd 23 lol
Haha K.Tipett is injured, of course I am like the only one stupid enough to have him as cover... I can't avoid injuries this year either!!!
Gibbs, Scotland, Goddard, Fish, Heppel, Pup, Jacobs (Lids, Adcock, Toy)
Boyd, Pendles (C), Swan, Mitchell (V), Bartel, Montagna (Didak, Smith (E), Callinan)
Cox, Smith (Bailey (E), Tippet)
Fyfe, Stevie J, Chapman, Petrie, Sylvia, Franklin, Mzungu (Voldt, Higgins, Richo)
jacobs is now out which means a donut and since im gone for in this league i might as well go for as best an overall i can. Only 2 trades left though and $400.
I was planing on going Higgins to Knights and Jacobs to Ellis but fell 1k short. I could go higgins to anyone under 200k and go Jacobs to Suckling. Or i could go Higgins to Knights and Smith to Gram and hope Jacobs is back, leaves me a bit thin for round 22 though.
I have no idea though if you guys have any idea it would be greatly aprreciated.
No donuts for me. But no cover in mids & backs.
Good old Kezza Harper. Trading him in & ousting Richo waaaay back. 8)

i could bring him in my team as i think he will be a good pickup i was thinking higgins to harper and jacobs to suckling might cause some troubles in round 21 with petrie, harper and richo all definte outs and none of them DPP for the mids so i will need no outs that week.
I dunno whether to play Kezza or I.Smith this week.
Also about I.Smith we are gunna Skype him in P.E next week! :P

Holz, go Higgins to knights and Jacobs to petrenko.
In favor, all I ask is that you beat chopps by at least 300 points so that I can make the finals :P

I should go ok next week if i move out higgins with only boyd left. Someone told me to go higgins to cloke/pav and jacobs to talia im considering that. i was also looking at higgins to Knights and Smith to Gram.
You should be able to move your team around in more than just 1 trade. Its a pity i cant higgins to knights than move gibbs into the mids and didak in the backline than turn him waters. Would leave my team perfect and all players in positions they are allowed.
some guy gave me a brillant idea higgins into the mids and turn him into gram. Leaves me with 1 trade no donuts and 40k.
If Harper isn't named the sub I will play Smith. I hope I.Smith doesn't slay....

i have a felling he is going to post a huge socre, im tempted to play him over mzungu.
I've put I.Smith on instead now. Named on field & his scores overall eclipse Harper's. But Kezza looks more comfortable at AFL level now. ;)

go with your gut im having a similar problem deciding between Z.Smith, I.Smith and Bailey.
made my trades now have 0 ah hell. bailey to some 80,400 ruck and jacobs to suckling.
no donuts for me and mad cover
gram and heppel will be back cover
Bartel & Smith as mids.
Mzungu and Higgins (if he comes back) forward
a little iffy on ruck cover need cox and smith to play out the season otherwise petrie will need to go to rucks
I want to personally scream at rawlings.

I want to personally scream at rawlings.
not his fault scott game him a job and he did a decent effort at it. Played on garlett and he didnt do much either so not a bad effort.
Definitely getting Andy Swallow next year again.
But 6 FA's!
That's 18 points man! :P
i am keeping my eye on swallow looks good.
good start to the weekend 330 / 3
Too many good mids next year going to have to start ablett, swan. Barlow is almost a definite and im going to punt on montagna again. So hopefully Swallow is good enough that i can upgrade to him.
Think I will go with a similar stratergy as this year bonus of know byes and a few lessons learnt
I am having a shocker of a round! No donuts too!
Rawlings, suckling, judd, kreuzer, sylvia, buddy, lecras... not including puopolo, mzungu or prestia as they are rookies.
That's 10 players sucking!
1845 with 3 left to play. Oh Gawddd.
i got suckling in this week *sigh*
i had a bad feeling about going pendles but couldnt go past his record against them pity i didnt go with my gut and go goddard. Lets hope he can pull together a decent score.
i am averageing over 2400 for my last 4 rounds that is just insane
edit: downside so are most other teams probably
I have salvaged a 2300 from a terrible round...
Hope to get near 2400..Got a feeling 2500 might be par!!
2592 for me highest ever score by a long way, pity couldnt hit the 2600 but first time over the 2500 so im happy. Pity the multi bye rounds arent leage games as i have pumped some huge scores in those weeks. Pity i didn't make the finalsi think i would be in with a decent chance.

Such a bad round too!
1847 with pendles (c), swan and knights to play.
All 3 tonned up very nicely, nearly 500 points between them! Saved my butt!
EDIT### 2414 final score, 567 point day :)
Good Job Holzzzzzzz!
Mitchell over Swan as captain. Martin & Lobbe really killed me. But meh, these things happen.
I get Redden, Adcock, Roo & Goodes back. :)

Yeah.good idea. You trading this week! Ideas for skipper yet?
mathematically holzman could knock me out of the 8
we will only have a couple of key match ups
It has been a really close league. Make sure you all sign up for next year.
Yeah I would like to do this league again next year with all the active contributors, it has been so much fun! Plus we will get 2 more spots in an 18 manned league, so should be an even better challenge :)

I will be bringing in Cloke in the forwards and Scotland in the backs just to beat you... haha nah no trades unless LTI... I know you will go Swanny Captain... but it doesn't seem worth it to risk it on anyone else. Pendles may get the tag that scotty thompson got... and I don't want that...

220 point lead with 2 less players to play.
Smith, birchal, suckling vs adcock & 220
I am mathematically a chance although a long one
Stevie j and Heppel above par
Wish I had done the opposite with Higgins by trading him for dpp back and getting a perm 2nd ruck or forward
Stevie j won it for you I d say

dont leave out Z.Smith he did his part too. Pity Dids didnt play the whole match and pull out a 130. I dont really want to knock you out of the 4/8 though. Pretty disapointed i didnt make the 8 my team has finally got into gear, even though i for gor ranking and i used all my trades early.

Yep you can't loose and thanks for that it means I cant loose top spot now even though I will loose my game. But that also means I will be playing the in form team round 1 of finals. You
i wont same i am safe but based on percentage (just) even if i lose i think i should be able to hold in the 8 luckliy it comes down to
Terrifying glue vs hodgeys to take a spot (one of them wont make the 8)
and not your buddy if he can get up i am safe

if you dont have ruck problems this week than i would be suprised. Petrie and Goldy out, Cox has an injury cloud and smith had been shocking as of late.
i do couple that with
i have back line to choose from
gibbs. scotland, goddard, deledio, gram, birchal suckling, adcock & heppel.
mids do i play Ablett if he gets up?
rucks are not all that good should of traded higgins and would of still had bailey.
forwards. do i play higgins and sylvia over mzungu and smith? normally i would go the premos but smith and mzungu have knocked out some good scores

yeah at least i still have my goal of top 1000 to see if i can go back to back. The really sad thing is now im concentrating on my SC nearly as much as my DT team, made it through the elimination final and playing valk next in a quite high up sc league.
I hope the elite league is back up next year and i can take my vengence :) , starting research now.

Bad luck Holz..I was eliminated from this league too on the weekend byTotally Canuckled.
It is the best league I've been in this year-super challenging. Mish and I started this league and although I don't know where Mish is I will run it again next year and invite those from this league who are keen.
Whatever happened to Mish? Hasn't been on for AGES.
this year was a good learning curve for my break out 4th year :D top 1000 in reaching distance still.
i think the byes actually made it easier this year, should compile some emails or make sure we do this again for anyone who is keen reckon this league can easily go the next level
I think they should have like a cut off point. Like you only get in if your ranking is 'good' enough whatever that might be.

everyone performed this year so hopefully we can retain most people.
I think if we can we should stick with everyone. atleast we know everyone checks their team and takes it serious.

I wasn't talking about you chatters, you posted when things needed to be posted and were often around enough.
People like, chrisuszz, mish, footy god, yarkis, thornz, dread_lord, maanco and elephants (who is regularly on this forum but never in this thread haha!) did not really have enough of a say or contribute to discussion and it would have been nice to get to know their play style too and ideas.

Haha yeh I believe I beat you in two finals too. I was surprised when I seen that I was playing you in both finals!
Looking forward to this week getting waters back. Anyone have any suspicion that Heppell may be a sub over in Perth this weekend??
Well it's done and dusted for me in the champs league again this year! It was the first poor week I've had for about a month I reckon! Spudius really capitalized too, which happens in good leagues. I hope ya win it now! Look forward to coming back next year and hoping I can Finish off the season with the most points. Thanks for a good year boys!
How is everyone ranked am just outside top 1000 (1017th I think)
Good game Chatters! Only four left now.....
Who will win it?

Well done Windigo. I've slipped outside the top 10000. I'm still alive in 2 leagues though and have 3 trades left to win those. Good luck to the final four!!
Not sure whether or not to use my last trade on sylvia. May be bad if mitchell/swan/pendles are rested in round 24. I have mzungu to cover, so I could wait, but I think I will just get Fyfe and switch him to mids if need be in the final round.
My joke team had used all 24 trades by round 14 and was ranked around 9000th. Now it is coming 1600th, obviously still with no trades left. Sylvia is the first injury that team has been hit by. Just goes to show that DT can be more than the 20% luck people say it is.
Good stuff Windy, cracking the 1k barrier!!! Now just hold it haha!
I only have one team. ;)
Even though sylvia is out i might be tempted to use my last trade to go scotland to suckling as i dont really want to play pup this weekend and suckling against dogs and GC could rack up 2 100s.
need to make up 17 positions to get to 1000
Im sure you will do it without to much trouble so many people seem to be going backwards at a fast rate. I flew back into the top 1000 last week now hope to make top 500
My goal at the start of the season was to finish top 1000. Last year I finished about 5500+. This is only my 3rd year of DT.
this is my third year and being in this league has really helped my dting along, top 1000 was always a goal and gained some good knowledge for next year.
My first year I was horrendus. I made my team part way through the season and I was at my mates house and he goes for Collingwood....Let's just say it was full of Pies. :P
my second year. Sitting inside the top 5000, hoping a couple of huge weeks can propel me into the top 3000.

It'll come down to what Adcock & Martin do. They have to outscore Heppell & Deledio. Also it depends which Montagna rocks up.
I'd love an A.Swallow eXplosion. :)
i have just looked at todays scores and its the first time in my dt history that i have just had enough of this game. I save a trade up all season and make what i thought was the smart move and trade scotland to suckling so i dont need to play pup who has been struggling. What happens suckling 60 pup 130. Even worse was instead i could of traded syliva out which would have ment mzungu would have been on my mids bench. Than what happens mitchell pulls out so now i have a donut with mzungu sitting in my forward line. All i can say is thankfully its round 23. If the roos go down tonight than i might lose it.
Bring on 2012
Yeah I too am really starting to lose passion for this year.
I cannot win. Mitchell out was the final blow. :(
Quote from: Windigo on August 27, 2011, 10:45:54 PM

I am coping a donut for that one too. :(
Pretty funny if I lose, means 16th will be playing the minor minor premiership haha
i have been quite lucky so far been riding no trades for three weeks now, and thanks to my good cover it hasn't been too bad.
started to many risky players burnt to many trades from not backing myself, next year gonna go more guns n rookies and listen less to other people
Yeah, a lot of people don't like change. They just want to stick with what 'worked' last year, as in what players to pick up.
When you look back on it. It was a no-brainer that Thomas,Cotchin etc would get better.
Just on people that can take it to the next level.
I'm strongly considering Beams for next year. Has had a solid season (missed a few with injury) and can only get better. Looking at his stats I think he is worth it for next year. Might do a Rockliff.
So if everything goes the way I want it this would be my dream midfield:
Swan, Redden, Rockliff, Ablett, Swallow & ????
I'll be picking up Swallow again next year. Had him in every DT I've ever made in my 3 seasons....Albeit in my first year I just randomly selected him to go with all my Collingwood players, thanks to my friend.
But I'm hoping he can step up next year and really get that average to around 105+. Also, if i get beams from the start he could end up being a keeper.
I reckon I'll get two guns: Swan & Redden/Rockliff.
Two mid Pricers: Beams & Scott Selwood/Swallow.
Cheapie: We will see.
But I honestly believe that a GOOD unique team can go places next year. :)
How does ablett swan Hayes Barlow ziebel rookie sound. I also like beams i may go him over one of them
/
Is this for starting off yeah?
Well, Ziebell might get scrubbed for a couple of weeks for next year for his bump.
But yes Beams looks very tempting. He will never get tagged and he slays a few goals as well. Looking like a lock for me.
Don't forget about sloane, will be cheaper than beams and has roughly the same ceiling.
Beams will be MPP next year and a lock for everyone ;)
I'd rather Beams than Sloane.
yea next year will be interesting, same stratergy i think with GWS rookies as i did with GC, not to many of them
Quote from: Chopps on August 28, 2011, 06:03:43 PM
yea next year will be interesting, same stratergy i think with GWS rookies as i did with GC, not to many of them
That's where I went wrong, got too many of them! Won't do it again next year though.
Butcher looks very good, in a few years time, he'll be the new Cloke with better kicking haha
At least I am in some sort of final next week, even if it is a minor one :P
Ziebell priced at 80 was a lock till he got reported if he gets 2 weeks I will still pick and he will be super unique. Would love to get beams in the forward line
i am not gonna worry about making an actual team till DT opens, i will list players on a short list but i set up teams last year based on FF pricing if one player is out by 100 grand you have to shuffle everything
I think it's about time we decide on what we will do for in terms another Champs League next year.
This was my favorite league because of how competitive it was and I'd love to be part of it next year. But what I'd like is a few more coaches to commit to actually post here.
So what will we do? Will we just pick coaches based on a ranking? Or the same people as this year? Some coaches in the league haven't been on for months now. Or do we pick people that contribute to the FF community on a reasonable basis throughout this year. Hm.
I think we should pick coaches who talk often on the forum and have the best ranking out of people who post often... not sure if that made sense haha
PS CONGRATS GUYS ON BEING THE 33rd BEST LEAGUE. We have increased spots the last couple of weeks :)
Let's get one more place next week boys! :)
833 ohhh yea,
on topic though :D i reckon constant contribution on FF and ranking, what i liked most about this league was the competitiveness, being worries when your in the top 8 that a bottom 8 could easily beat you on any given week was a good challenge.
I agree ranking and constant contributers.
Stats:
Mish: Last Active ~ June 11
Dread_Lord09: Last Active ~ March 23
Maanco: Last Active ~ August 9
Just a few that I rarely see. The others are regulars, it's just they don't post here unfortunately. :P
I think we should keep the bulk of the league the same maybe make a few changes.
yup agreed

Agree with fenno..been a great league. You can't penalize people for not posting here. As long as they keep up with their team and rank well! The posting does add to the fun though!
For sure. But it adds 'depth' so to speak when we have constant posting here. Feels like a real community like league. :)
Quote from: Fenno on August 29, 2011, 11:13:09 PM

I think we have to be careful when making changes. What usually happens is we mainly choose these new team's based on rank. Team's come out saying how they were ranked in the top 100 and what not. If you look at our league currently only two team's are ranked in the top 1000. All those guys who were claiming that they did really well last year are most likely not at the top end of the total points ranked overall or contributing to FF.
DT is a game where your ranking change a lot between one year and the next. Last year I think I was ranked 8,000 overall, this year I'm 414th at the moment. I firmly believe that the changes that we make should be aimed at making this a more interactive league of people who we know can put together a competitive and thoughtout league. The way in which you know that people can do this is by their continual opinions and feedback on FF.
I personally think that we avoide people who finish 10th this year but have only one post on FF to flaunt this. Chances are you won't get much involvement from them the following season because they havent been a frequent FF contributor. It will be made even worse if his ranking slides out to 5,000th the next season, then you really haven't gotten much from him.
My suggestionWe need teams that we feel will rank well, but want people who have given some time to supply feedback and knowledge to FF over a period of time. Maybe choose teams with the best rankings where the coach has more than say 200 post's on FF. This way it cuts out people just making bogus post's to get to the number because it's too may to do that and it show's that they have been on FF for a little while to get to that number.
It's just a thought. I have been in this league for a couple of year's and would love to see it permanently in the top 20 leagues, but also have the continual involvement of it's coaches. It's a fine balance, but there's enough people of FF with great knowledge of DT and who post quite often.
Firstly thanks for letting me join the league this year lads so far i don't think i have disappointed with my ranking now to back it up next year.
i dont think big changes are needed, i think we need to confirm firstly who will be in this league again next year and a good push for 20th or higher as a league would be good.
if there is any spots open then we need to look at who to ask to join, i dont think convincing people will be difficult given the Leagues' ranking
If spots do become available there won't be many. I'm sure no one would really want to leave the league, but I'm sure there's plenty who would like to be involved in it!
I agree chatters DT is heavily involved in luck and even though i was able to finish just outside the top 500 and this year i put in twice the effort i did much worse this year. I feel anyone who has a team inside the top 10k obviously has worked on their team. If people are just pumping out big scores each week in a league but dont come on FF or post in the coachs box than we might i dont feel they contribute much to the league.
I think I'm 1012 in rankings?
A bit of luck goes a long way. I'd love to have the two weeks when I had Redden (640 and Swallow (89) had them as captain and thats when Boyd bused the 140+.
So luck plays a pretty big role in DT.

Absolutely like to get involved if you end up with a space.
Good idea's people, especially the over 'x' amount of post count and ranking, I like it.
I think this years rankings were skewed because of the bye and did not give a true indication of DT skills. This is my 6th or 7th year of DT with the last 3 seasons all a top 2k finish (and 2 top 1k finishes) and since my 2nd year I have never been out of the top 5k. This year I am currently 8k :O (Although my 'fun' team as I mentioned before is ranked less than 2k currently)
I'd like to get the league into the top 20, and we have the potential (as you can see we, are around 30th at the moment). However, I also believe as Fenno stated before, keeping the bulk of us together would be better and maybe we should only remove those who are not active in the forum at all, and those who are not active in this thread and didn't do so well.
Summary: Retain as many people as we can from this league, keep regular posters and high ranked players. Posting and ranking are equally important. Remove those that fail the above 2 conditions.
Good luck for the last week everyone!
we are averaging as a league this year 15 points less then what we needed to be 20th or above, i dont think mass changes are needed but we need to confirm who is back in and who is gonna go the distance.
QuoteSummary: Retain as many people as we can from this league, keep regular posters and high ranked players. Posting and ranking are equally important. Remove those that fail the above 2 conditions.
I think we did that a bit wrong as the start of this year. A few people just thought it would be just "another league."
Should be filled with regular posters, not just 'your in' because of last years rank. IMO, consistent posting outweighs ranking...To a degree. ;)

I would back that the knowledge and quality of team building ability of the regular FF poster would be good enough to get ourselves into the top 20. Luck goes a long way!

Broughton to lower, Krakouer to Jroo, then Jroo to Didak, then Didak to O'Keefe... FAIL (4 trades)
Sandi to K.tipett and Z.Smith to Kreuzer... FAIL (2 trades)
Grimes to Rawlings... FAIL (1 trade)

Montagna and Bartel to Mitchell and Gablett... SO MUCH WIN
Final Round, Buddy to Higgins. I hate higgins. Was thinking Boomer. I hate you higgins.

thanks gents i appreciate the support ;)
im posting this up in the teams section to give anyone/everyone an eye into my year...
http://league32.wordpress.com/2011/07/12/719/
This year i wanted to improve so to better myself for next year i have blogged thoughts behind the trades etc...
Its massive so i dont expect anyone to read the lot :P
Would love to have you on board Marcz. Will see how the summer pans out and who is keen next year?
thats a massive post, maybe one day when i have more time i ll have more of a read, i did a similar thing in word doc and excel keeping track of cash cows and how much i could maximise money if i had waited 1 or 2 weeks, also where i can improve by writing down my though process on trades hopefully all the extra time pays off next season
Cheers Flame ;)
yeah it just kind of grew Chopps, at first it was going to be basic but it kind of evolved into a monster...
will hopefully help next year as il review it and write up a framework/rules of thumb for next year ;)
dont sweat it if a spot doesnt open up dont feel obligated... good to see a passionate bunch of Coaches competing against each other 8)
might not be any spots but keep me in mind as a possbility too ... ;)
Any Spots left? could i join next season?
over the summer we will confirm numbers again and then if spots are open we'll go from there i could be mistaken looks like Marcz has first dibs :D
You guys have a good thing going here in Champs League, i agree that having coaches who are keen to post in in your leagues topic makes it feel more like one team rather than 16 individuals is as important as ranking. Coaches then look to keep the health of the league i.e ranking at its best amidst the challenge of winning a Grand Final amongst a group of so many commited coaches. It adds another dimension to it i thoroughly enjoy and the opportunity to get to know people you see posting here and there a bit better is a bonus. I hope in Champs League 2 next year we can match you a little better in that department and hopefully recruit a few coaches that can help us catch up to you people, at 124 overall we did pretty well i think but we need to improve to threaten you lot next year which is always good. I think Marcz would be a perfect addition to your League he gets an A+ for most of the aspects youve discussed if not all of them. Goodluck for 2012 guys and i hope you have as much success together and individually if not more in 2012.
Thought this may interest you guys. 16 teams to 18 teams per league in 2012.

We are up for an award in the frontbar section, the tuck award for the best thread. Would be great if we could rally around that and possibly get some more people interested in the league so we can have an even stronger league next year.

I worded my question poorly, should of been how did everyone go? Not the league as I am in it so I know how it went :)
FF Champs League 2 Defeating FF Champs League 1 after round 1, We All know FFCL2 is best. :) ;)

Don't worry boys, we're still just doing our streches!

Exactly!
Rome wasn't built in a week.....Or two weeks. Give us time. ;)
After round one Champs League 1 sits at 189th in the league rankings. Pretty happy with this result, but an alarming fact is we are behind both the other Champs League. Let's hope that this trend doesn't continue. Us veterans aren't happy unless we're smashing 2200+ on a regular basis. Hoping from improvement from these fellas next week.
2000 is the pass mark this week guys. Get your teams set and pick the correct rookies on field and we should slay!
Good work the Maanco & WhatLez for cracking the 2200+ barrier and keeping the damage down to a respectable level. I'm down at number 6, but I'm hoping that after this weekend I'll be slaying a 2250+ with Redden as VC loophole captain.

+1 all in good fun. Well aware by Rnd 11 everything could of turned upside down. If you look at the point spread from say 200 overall to say the top 50 league overall there wouldnt be alot in it and the difference from Champs 2 to Champs 1 would be minimal regardless of the 80 spots difference. But in saying that when youve got a chance to fire a salvo at the opposition fire away, dont want to be found deceased with bullets in your gun haha.

To be fair everyone had a pretty good week. I managed 1985, but I had Shiel on the field for example.

Has all faith been lost in the DT Master Loser? :P
No ??? I'm still super confident ;D
In that case. Fixed.

I'm trying to pick us up cause we getting imbarrassed here :-\
There is a reason we are the real Champs league we wil pick up soon, on a side note my FF Warriors league is ranked 30th and killing everyone.
I luckily don't have any Brisbane or Carlton spuds so im sitting pretty on 0/0. The Heores are just warming up for round 3 when the real games start, like alot of people poor rookie selction cost me last week and broughton, watch out guys though im tipping broughton to hit the ton this week.

My Spud comment was directed at Gibbs, he was my first pick in the euro and im not happy with him. IM probably going to get murphy soon and scotland only got junk stats, kreuz would have been a good pickup but im happy with Mummy and Giles/Redden

Redden suspended too? And total scores so far this year have them at 187 points each.
Brown back next week, black out and possibly redden? Rocky will SHOW you guys why you missed out :D
On another note... mummy :'( Making a mess of my 1/3 ruck set up.
Redden won't get suspended. He said it was accidental and it slipped up and hit him in the neck. He'll be right.... :-\

WOW :'( FMDT worst season so far! :( dont even have a chance of reaching 2k this round :'( :'( :'( :( :( >:( >:(
depending on my last 4 i could be in for a good round, sitting on 1565 with Goddard, Franklin, Selwood & captain Ablett to come, unrealistic to hope for 2050 + ?

Goddard for 85
Franklin for 90
Selwood for 105
Ablett for 105 x 2

Looking at decent score so it seems, just looking out league scores.

477 not so flash.
i was suprised with a 2166 i was ranked 12682 for the round, felt it was a bit low, but made up another 134 spots so holding rank

I scored 2121 and thought I'd hold my ground at 3k and then fell to 5.5k :/
I was hoping the same thing, 2131 and fell away to 5830.
Anyone trading? If yes who and why
Yags to Marty Clarke...
You doin anything with mummy?

Made a thread about it.
Have ya decided what to do ?
Nah see if he gets named and either Seaby plays or not. I don't want a 60 from Mummy cause they sub him off. I would prefer a 110 from Sandi....
But if I hold onto mummy then his price won't move regardless so I can get Greene in, instead. I'll wait for teams.
Hoping to produce a 2000+ score this week :) Will be a good launchpad as I will start improving my team next round :)
I can't see why I can't go for 2200+ either hoping for a better round then last

I think rookies can push 70+ this year. Kennedy, Dev, Morris etc can all all do it.
You starting Ellis, Bugg or Morris this week?
I'm starting Morris.
I am starting Bugg (named in centre) and Ellis over Morris. No reason why I should start Ellis, but I'm going to do it anyway :P

I think I'm going to go unique and trade to Robbo.
if hes not a late out tonight, i think you have to keep him..
freo medical staff aint going to let him play if hes not ok too, its really just a waste of a trade...

yeah I have heard about the grand plan, im going to move mountains to try and get JZ if he tons up this week, super anoyed i cant get barlow (stupid bye rounds)
Yeah well, my grand plan is in a heap.
Cogs out & Andy C out for 6 weeks. :(
1159/11 inc captain before the Adelaide GWS game looking good for one :)
Good work Chris mate!
.....My team is in the showerter.
An very avoidable donut & Andy C's one. :(
should be some nice scores this week 1281/13 with a projected total of 2257, I have used 4 trades and im not going to slow down I have 1 Planned next week and a double trade the week after to bring in murphy.

Well done Holz! That will be a great score in what has been a weekend of carnage!! I'll be lucky to get 2000!
Windy I'm 230 down and have 5 players to come ;D

I did say im lifting my game for the sake of the champs league, we cant lose to champs 2 and 3
Only good coming out of this week was Mitch Golby.
Everything else has been a disaster. :P

I've had to play guys like Paine and Neale ::)
1564 with Magner, Martin, Deledio and Morris to come... Won't crack 2000 :'(
I haven't even looked at my score all week.
As soon as I saw Cogs out with no EMG and Andy C getting 1, I knew it was going to be shower.. :'(
....What the heck, I'll have a look.
1429/18.
Deledio, Martin, Hargrave & Magnar. :'(
1551 / 17 still have Selwood, Ellis, Hargrave, Magner, Martin & Deledio.
hmmm thought i'd be doing better but on the bright side no donuts for me .... yet ;)
About 180 points behind and 5 to come against Windigo ;D
...THE CHAD....let me down... uniquely I may add.
Ablett captain wasn't what I expected and having no pies in the mids also left me with a slightly lower score than most. ~1300/14 with captain played, will limp towards the 2000 mark, not sure if I will hit it.
Holz has a shot at weekly I believe. Good luck mate!
What happened to Chad?
And who saw Buddy kicked 1 goal 6 and 7 free against?

Chad scored 26 from 91% TOG...
Yeah but how? Surely he would pick up some easy kicks
And how did Buddy kick so inaccurate and give away so many frees?
Disgusting week for me. Boyd (c), Palmer, hurley.. Shaw out.. Kruz down...
good time to step up ellis, put shaw on the pine and get a sweet 79

my score of a 2136 hurled me from 3062 to 447th ::)
Well done Holz, 2nd in weekly is amazing. ;)
Good strong week guys. Only one person who scored under 1810 was Windigo ;D
Ranked 151 all thanks to Holz.
Haha, nice call. :P
This has been a harsh start to dt, Albett out now :(

im considering Ablett to Rocky and Kennedy to Trealor but we will see. If i keep Ablett im bringing in Chappy next week as my first upgrade target. IM finally going to be getting more premiums instead of just fix it trades.

Buddy, Chappy, Robinson, Sidebottom, Lewis, Martin, Dangerfield
Great weekend for you Holz well done. You guys have stormed past us. Champs 2 has a couple of coaches underperforming so i hope we can get a lift from them or we are gawn, :(
Watch out fellas.
I reckon I'm in for a good week. Getting T-Rock this week and Treloar. Fear the Red-Rock. :P
Then Devon>Cloke next week and then cull Morris & Get suckling for Golby if he underperforms.

should have just put the C on Swan I always say using the loophole is more risk than reward. You limit your emergencies to only 2 so late withdrawals are even more dangerous.
i'd say in my case the risk is probably worth it i would of made selwood my captain and whilst he may smash it i dont think 171 is on the cards. god i hope so
I'm going Godd as captain, looks solid Vs Dees.
Sooooo I bring in sandi and one week later, well everyone knows :'( I know holz made this mistake anyone else?

I still dont consider it a mistkae, stephenson should be back this week and if sandi is back next week than its all good. A little bit of a wasted trade but mummy is probably out again and sandi is oustscoring mummy and i think he is more likely to get over his injury before mummy.

Can't afford to. I've been sold on my trades for days lol.
haha nice one holz
how is anyone in their right mind going to get through these byes with either any trades on the other side or minimal donuts
With all this carnage, again. Looks like it's high time my teams rockets up the rankings. Not donuts, no worries. 8)
I have about 9 or 10 players not playing this week... Everyone in all positions plus 1 donut.
Yeah lez I'm also stuffed... Was planning on making some calm trades but now it looks like I'll need to force 1 or 2... Could cop a donut :-\
Minimum 1 donut*
no donuts for me again.... yet, hopefully another nice rise in rankings
I talk hmac up all season and than choose mummy over him and now sand I. Taking my second ruck donut and I have now decided to take 4 donuts in the bye rounds and save 2 trades. Good thing swanny got me 340 points I still should go alright.
hey guys, Barlow vs Murphy??
Murphy any day...
Looks like I'll be copping a donut unless Big O plays :-\ Hopefully someone like Redenn plays next week so I can trade Mummy and get a 4th ruck...
Quote from: maanco on April 27, 2012, 06:53:03 PM

Out of the running for overall so t lookalike leagues is what I'm going for now...
im in for a shocker this week, going to tumble back down the rankings, shouldnt have taken the sandi donut is going to cost me the league game and the exlam league. Going to struggle to hit 2000.

Last week's carnage was worse but hoping to get 2000 this week...Predicted to get 2004 but if birchwood is out there goes a 100 points!!
my prediction is out because i still have the hargrave 0 to have covered
Birchall out. 1700... :(
With eski gone my chance of overall is shot, and im going to get killed by chopps, im not having as good a week as last week.
Bad luck Holz. No one can escape this round. :P
Only blue I made was Godd captain. ::)
Yeah I'm really sorry fellas :'(
My bad.
Pretty bad week all round.
Top 1611. Worst ever.
Just under 1900 but with 3 donuts and a sub.
Pretty upsetting only because of my silly danger to cornes trade in round 2 :P
Costing me big time!
Had hargrave, birchall, cornes and porps as late withdrawls... world record?

Haha :'(
I'll probs be the one to pull out a 2200 this week 8)
whats your projected score?
Don't have assistant coach. But I have 7 prems in ths week hopefully...
How I look at it I should scored
1611 + 585
Including ablett as captain.
big week this week

Watch out boys, The Vinegar Strokes are firing up, you're all in a world of trouble!
just realised i am playing you in two leagues, champs league and bluddy goode
Have a good feeling about this week.
Loving my Kade selection, should fly under the radar with Murphy getting the tag and net a healthy score. Maybe should have got Beams over Pav, but it remains to be seen what Pavlich can do today! ;)
beams did well, selwood out, come on magner fire up son
Late withdrawl again for me, also need magner to chop it up :)
Brought in zaha and christensen this week!
Pav beter fire today, because i picked him over beams, zahar, chappy and stevie j who are all killing it. Hopefully greene steps up at posts 80+ for selwood, he would have got 140 if he was playing today.

+1.
I'm sure he will. ;)
Jack Redden doing well....But not T-Rock. >:(
rocky a bit down all good can repay the love next week with a 140
Great work from Pavlich.
Proved all the doubters wrong with a sterling performance which will hopefully see him back to his damaging consistent best.
Looking good fellas:
1024/9. Captain played. 8)
WhiteX as my unique tonight. ;)
839/9 thats a pretty good effort consdering thats already counting the sandi donut.
4 tons, 94,85,66 cant be unahppy with that, it all comes down to how the GWS boys do I have 5 playing this week.
currently sitting on 1214 from 11 with captain played

I'm around that mark as well.
Kade will bring it today I reckon. 8)
i am interested to why Kade is apart of your master plan.
still do not understand how to get through the byes with minimal impact and not waste all my trades

Well last years winner traded hard at the start and got as many high scoring players possible, as soon as possible.
Kade is having his best season ever and will never be tagged and racks up more marks than Murphy and looks a great unique. Pavlich at his price was an no brainer and I had to get him over Beams.
Now I've got myself hopefully two decent scorers for the rest of the year and I'm 120k up.
This week I'm getting Heppell. Then I'll sit tight until bye time with only:
Bugg, Giles, Horse/J-mac & Treloar/Kennedy playing as rookies. 8)
trade early is my plan worked very well for me last year.
something you may be able to help me with windigo, i dont see a clear way to get through the byes and need to work it out so i have a trade plan to some degree. any help is appreciated.
current structure 12/8/10
how many upgrades do you think i need to do ? i count 6 (two defenders, two midfielders a ruck and a forward)
how do i get through the byes with minimal impact?
i dont mind holzmans idea of small upgrades, but that will burn the trades and essentially sideways but if it avoids a 0 and gets an even better player into your team then that is a win
Defenders
Rd 11: Waters, Hargrave & Bugg
Rd 12: Shaw & Clarke
Rd 13: Goddard, Deledio, Morris & Ellis
Mids
Rd 11: Rockliffe, Greene, Jmac & Shiel
Rd 12: Swan, Selwood & Magner
Rd 13: Murphy
Rucks
Rd 11: Cox & Giles
Rd 12: Stephenson
Rd 13: Redden
Forwards
Rd 11: Dangerfield, Kennedy & treloar
Rd 12: Sidebottom & Beams
Rd 13: Buddy, Martin, Robinson & Milera
Hm, I think sideways trading is the most easiest method of dealing with the byes, but it will leave you with perhaps no trades or very few for finals.
Well think about it, hypothetically you use all 3 trades every week in the bye rounds.
That 9 used up. What I was thinking of doing is getting a heap of last bye round players and then sideways them out to other players.
There is no real fool proof way of getting out of this alive, so to speak....At least I don't think so.
I'm just going to assemble my team, keeping some kind of structure and then cross that bridge when I come to it. 8)
Round 11
Defence - Bugg, Mohr
Midfield - T.Greene, Shiel, C.Smith
Ruck - Giles, HMac
Forward - Treolar, Hampton, Dickson
Round 12
Defence - M.Clarke, Broughton, Grimes
Midfield - Swan, Pendles, Selwood, Magner, Barlow
Rucks - Sandi, O.Stephenson
Forwards - Sidebottom, Zaharakis
Round 13
Defence - Suckling, Conca, Ellis, Goddard
Midfield - N/A
Rucks - N/A
Forwards - Franklin, Martin, Riewoldt
This is my team as it is, i didnt make it with any thoughts about byes as you can see...
So Midefield upgrades will be from a Round 13 team (Ablett, Murphy, Simpson) or maybe round 11 depending on who i trade out (Thompson, Rockliff, Boyd)
Upgrades for my forwars/defence line will need to come from round 11 sides where i have the least players affected by byes
Of course i am going to cop donuts at one point...
I'll post up my team after this round with my two new trades.
Looking good. ;)
Simpson has been racking it up recently.
Quote from: whatlez on May 06, 2012, 04:26:46 PM
Simpson has been racking it up recently.
...Or really. Loving my choice of going him instead of Murphy.
50 point QTR. 8)
I love Robbo :) ;D
Going to drop again :( Had a bad week. Rocky, selwood out, kennedy, scotland average, birchall, boyd, christensen... too many underporforming players not including bugg, magner and giles like everyone else :/
Should just make 2k, but nothing more :(
magner to horse this week... like everybody else... probably mccarthy to mitchell this week unless mccarthy can crack the ton.
Another poor week from me. Really need my premiums back :-\
I was pretty lucky this week, Lahug but in a bad performance by his high standards looking good for next week Shaw, Sandi, Ablett , Jelwood hopefully come into the side and I dont want to take another donut.

yeah i was planning on trading him in this week but just fall short, So might have to hold of only 370k to spend on a backman thats not enough.
i need ablett to wait a week for my plan to pay off. it ll be right i can get him back in when i need to ::)

are you going to get him in this week if he plays?
nope i dont think so, i have 3 premo mids and rockliff plus wicked rookie cover, still need to make more money off them first, the 15 point average between ablett and murphy has already been cover in my team by the trade out of ablett, not sure he will come back and rip it up
versing ossie, it is 97 vs kruezer. Going to be a close one!!!

A far cry from 33 last year. ::)

what is your team with trades made? i mean starting 22
Yeah probably Chopps...
Yeah Holz I know you, LaHug and myself. Everyone else I get confused lol.
i had a look and i think it will be a captains choice actually
Yeah. To be fair go same captain? lol
I'm thinking no Beams this week lol. I just don't like/want him... :-X
So expect a huge surprise.
you dont like or want a guy averaging 105? my only thought is your bringing in a mid super premo, doesnt phase me :D bring it on :P
Stanton? Swan? Ablett? Lol
I'll probs just get beams. I'm thinking more long term as I need money to get swan in at round 13.
yea mate, a super premo could come into my side this week but if i let the cash cows fatten i can bring in a super premo next week and have 140 k for the next week after that

Chops I don't care about this weeks league game... I'm waiting for my cows to fatten :)
thats good, because so i am i, one more week and i think they will be ripe enough for a super premo and some spare cash :D
Yeah I just want a decent score (move up the ranks) and good enough to have a easyish eliminator opponent next week.
Not bothered on your game Chopps, I got easy ones coming up which will cement me into the top 8.
Not keen on Magner playing on field so looks like a new mid is in (won't be announced)
And have not convinced on playing Treloar (new forward that won't be announced) :o
manger wont be played on my field, have horsley and greene/ jmac to play, who out of adams and treloar for f7
I'd go Treloar.

I got cover everywhere.
Are you going to trade or play Morris with me?
hard choice for me this week have 2 guys rested in the backline Bugg and Smedts and 2 in the middle with Jmac and Shiel.
either can go Shiel to Mitchell and have horsely/greene on the bench and no back coverage or Bugg to Birchall and thefore play greene/horsely and have Morris on the bench as back coverage but no cover in the mids.
IM going to be getting the other guy in the week after so if i get mitchell in this week burchall will come in the week after, not sure what to do.

mitchell should easily outscore birchall/ suckling the only thing stopping me is i think the Horsely Birchall combo will beat Morris Mitchell. I just feel safer with birchall over suckling and the extra 20k doesnt hurt.
I could make two trades this week and will probably score an extra 50 points out of it, but I only have 15 left (at the start of thw wrong :-X )
Hey Chopps. Beams didn't pay off that much... :-[
But Swan as captain would not be good ;D
you got beams in? 100 pays off i'd say from a forward. swan as captain isnt great but we will wait to see what boyd does or the rest of the round before we say its horrible, it passes for me
Well I'm delighted swan got 92, but I was hoping less :-\
Projected scores are closer :o
Actually got 95.
Damn that 6 points might get chops over the line...
Haha, you never know. :P
Windigo your lucky we are not having KO cup this week...
It's been one game into the round and your carrying on like Swan's broke his leg and is out for the season. :P
Whose to say none of your players gets an injury. Anything can happen.
Lol I didn't even know you have swan...
What's your score ATM everyone?
Had him as captain as well. But every respectable team has Swan. ::)
Thank you Calvin captains changed swan to ablett because of him. Let's hope ablett pulls out a huge score and I keep my 135 captain average. Marty Clarke was disappointing but can't complain about sidebut pendles and swanny. Watch out guys I'm probably bringing in Stanton v gws and putting him captain, I'm hoping for 400
Holz I'm beating you by 30 with both having 6 to come ;D
I've been majorly let down by Morris :-[ :-\ :'(
Hate to say it but whatlez is on a roll!!! :P
Glad i got to beat you in the first game, wouldn't want to play you now :/
Turns out I will probably lose to last place and to my eliminator opponent. Great round!

Yeah I see way better scores than me this week though :-\
If only I went Bugg to Enright this week... >:(
Gia is making me money again ;D haha
Oops got it wrong, he is 1545/13, pretty much the same though. I had hargrave, he had lake. I had sandi, he had maric, I had zaha, he had o keefe. I had birchall and duff, he had shaw and grimes! The worst part is he has phil davis, giles and treloar to come, along with 6 prems :O Hoping nicky dal has a shocker while rockliff pumps out 130+
Sounds like your in trouble : :-X
you win, murphy subbed :-[
And Waters was almost late out.
So I win. :) lol.
Waters wtf?
Dangerfield wtf?
I might still lose :S :'(
need 57 58 from waters in a half its a fair ask.
told you captain choice would decided this, pity murhpy injured himself i would of got it otherwise
Yeah it's going to be close :X
I'm only going to win 2/5 league games though... if I win this one.
this will be my only loss out of dt pro, dt, eliminator and sc >:( hopefully i carve up in Elxam league still :-\
Weak leagues... nah.
But yeah Waters only 5 for that quarter. Looks unlikely :)
lost by 17 points, i think you were lucky to win this one. but well done

he plays for Essendon who cares, it was good enough I got his last name correct. Im thinking of not bringing him in this week, just because I don't want to see the black and red vest in my team, especially in my midfield.

Hopefully none. I'm planning on makine one or no more upgrades from on then, so its easy to get players like Scott Thompson and Dyson Heppell in. And Swan/Stanton.

how much do you have now and who are you downgrading to, to get the cash
If all goes well
Hall/Smith -> Zorko
Bugg -> Darley
Hall/Smith -> Sexton
Might not get Sexton in though.
i ll be going in with about 250 k i think, only sideways/upgrade i have to do is swap rd12 prem/or rook to rd 11 to eliminate most of my byes
I'll be taking out a loan. :P

get one with a low interest rate then :D
i only have three players to upgrade left the rest will be luxury trades
Are you trading Swan chopps? ???
Actually if Sexton doesn't get selected (rumours he may get dropped), then I'll make an upgrade and bring in about 350-400k.

not at this stage mate. murphy is out and premo plus zorko and cash in the bank in, will reasses swan closer to the bye if he is out for the byes he probably will go but then the only way back in is m6 to swan

Man, had scotland as C all week and changed it to selwood because as windi said before, the goddard incident.
Ablett scoring 106 makes me feel a little better, now all I need is staton to scrape 100 or less and I will be very happy with selwoods 100 :D

I thought about that...then brought in ROK... no idea why, I had him in my starting team, love the guy, my season is borderline over, so thought I may as well bring in the uniques :P
Looking forward to getting in Goodes as well, hope he will be a little bit unique if everyone has already got a set forward line.
I am making Sidey captain, very excited to make a fwd a captain this week :D

You'll then be able to trade up to a maximum of TWO players after the conclusion of each round (and a maximum of 3 in Rounds 11, 12 and 13), with a total of 24 trades available for the entire Season.
that reads as 2 to me at the end of next round but i dont know, thinking of keeping jmac and waiting to see on sexton willing to risk paying a bit extra for him but they both projected to about 25 k up so i wont lose anything if i wait, want to have two trades free next week though for shaw and swan incase they are out
I hope sidey fails even though i have him, i put the C on pendles and watch out everyone i just upgraded to a super premium in the backline, thats if he doesnt go down injured for the rest of the season with a pappercut.
ITS GRIMESY TIME!!!!

We don't have a tagger and I am thinking that bucks will let steele go head to head vs ablett as a learning tool. If I had ablett, i would have strongly considered him as captain this week.
Two good teams well coached. ;)

You sure it's not the reverse trades option?
Made a rash trade before I went to the footy last night of bringing in Maric for HMac. Looking alright at the moment ;)
(Pity the rest of my team is awful - especially my backline with Ellis and Morris still in it and on the ground)

Must have been but I remember putting pendles captain after I bought in grimed. I must have reversed and got grimes again for some reason. I hit the reverse button about 6 times this week. All my emergencies are how I wanted then

Whoops.
Answering too many questions Q lol.
Haha, maybe.
Went Jmac over congs...
Wtf :-[
They'll score around the same I reckon.

Darley and Bootsma? Has no-one actually seen Bootsma play? The moment I saw him rack up 31 points in the last 1/4 on debut I wanted him. 61 and 79 since seems a few have missed him because they weren't actually watching him play only lookin at stats(??)

I purposely left out darley to help with burs and so I could use him as a downgrade round 12. Its not too late he hasn't gone up that much because of the sub game. Sam Shaw is another to watch.
i need a back in rd 12 and i ll upgrade the other i reckon
My team has gone to shower.
Heppell & Swan not playing.
Sidey as C.
Pendles get's injured.

Mccarthy late withdrawl left me with a 102 form zorko.
AND I only scored 1972... game over for me :'(
Holz, captain Ablett was a stroke of genius! :P
* The difference between our captain scores were about 250 points, which is pretty much why I lost so badly :'(
1852 for me. What a shocker. Time to do 3 rage trades. :P
why did i put sidey C again, proven premo's gotta stop reading calvins captains and not going with myself ahhhhh, rockliff is testing my patience, he will stay though. 2109 is ok in a round with a 190 and a 204 yet everyone seems to be down on score

Let's see... selwood captain? pendles? sidebottom? zorko? (not sure why zorko but would have been a good captain choice this week haha) maybe 120 or so points :P
thank for tanking spite :o
there goes my perfect bye strategy, Swan, Pendles injured, Maceski in the 2s, Waters and lewis suspended and only 11 trades. Im going to have 4 after the byes.
Well Holz it does say "Trade Hard. Trade Early."
swan might be ok
Quote from: Chopps on June 04, 2012, 08:46:18 PM

i think swan is a 90% chance to play, pendles out helps his chances and melbourne winning last week
Apparently he was at Roy's school (guy from DtTalk) and he says he will play.

How many schools did they go to? lol

That makes sense. Anyway, he said he should play, so that is good news :)
Good luck this weekend hope we all slay it, how many donuts you guys got? i have 2 could of been 1 but i think Maric over playing redden and morris is a better idea for the future.
I have 2, could have been 1 of Smedts played. But meh.
Bring it on Holzman. 8)
3. Donuts.

well my strategy of setting up my team for the byes has been partially negated by sandi basically giving me a donut score. At least I didnt start Big O with him.

Zaha, sandi...pfff i was going to leave no trades for LTI :P Might still do that, 2013 is my year i tell you :P
thought i was mad giving myself a donut over and playing maric over Morris and redden. cost me 2 points but allowed the trades to come in quicker wooo hoo

You are looking good this week mate, holz got smashed by injuries this week, so hoping you can crack top 100!!!
Chopps are you set for the next rounds??
umm by set do you mean copping more donuts :P
i will be getting a waters donut, rd12 mid donut and rd 12 forward donut.
magner is leaving my team, Milera is leaving my side and maybe ellis, hello boyd.
team isnt far from complete with very little trades (shhh spite keep it a secret)
completion of MBR's
Back: Deledio, Goddard, Waters, Suckling, Shaw, Hargrave, Clarke <s.shaw, Rookie)
Mid: Ablett, Swan, Watson, Boyd, Rockliff, Selwood, <Sexton, zorko>
Ruck: Maric, Cox <redden, Big O>
Forward: Franklin, beams, sidey, robinson, dangerfield, Chappy, Martin <treloar, rookie>
only things i would like to do from there if trades permit which they dont :D. something with hargrave or clarke, sideways upgrade martin and or rockliff but these seem like minor issues
should be set for a decent week next week with goldy replacing sandi and his 10. Boyd coming into to squad and only 2 donuts. I can nearly count my trades on 1 hand though.
Good to beat Whatlez this week! Only beaten by the great Holz in 5 leagues! Well played Holz! You even have me looking at Grimes! Time to upgrade my defence!
Yes good game Flame.
Swan killed me.
Bringing in Grimes, Swan and Thommo over the next two weeks :)
looks like grimes is no longer unique, he will probably get injured now everyone has him.

Very pleased to have a decent score this week after a very poor start. Nice to see holz and chopps beat me too haha will get them over the next few weeks :D
Pretty good score by me I must admit. 8)
Bringing in Cox/Goldy & then MJ. To finish the squad.
We are ranked 96th.
Would be better if Fark changed his team this week ::)
We will be top 20 by the end. 8)
Okay Holz. Playing you for real this week.

Sadly it looks like im going to have to tank this round and keep pendles. So be prepared to win easily windy. Will be double upgrading in round 13 so should be deadly then.
Is anyone else nearly finished there teams I will be fully upgraded round 14-15 with
Goddard, Lids, Brichall, Broughton, Carrots, Grimes, Waters (Hargreave, S.Shaw)
Ablett, Swan, Pendles, Boyd, Mitchell, Selwood (Zorko, Crozier)
Griffin, Giles (Stephenson, Redden)
Beams, Sidebottom, Franklin, Robinson, Danger, Pavlich, Martin (Trealor, Sexton)
but with only 3 trades left so im going to have to hope for no LTIs and i need pendles to be back asap as im copping donuts for him.
Are you getting Crozier Holz?
Yeah I have like 8 trades and close to complete after next week :S.
Probably keep either Clarke or Hargrave as D7... :-\

im getting crozier just for the one week, only need him to play round 13 than i dont care what he does. Are you saying keep clarke and dont trade in carrots and keep the 4 trades?
I will be done next week, but my team is crap.
I was talking about myself lol
I'm either going to have Hargrave or Clarke as D7

not sure why I have it in my brain he has an E in his last name. Thats not going to change I dont think, if he can start pulling out some good scores I will put an effort into change it.
I just wish I had like 2 more trades :(
Quote from: whatlez on June 12, 2012, 05:49:46 PM

I wish I had Hmac over mummy, would have saved 2 trades and probably put me in the top 50. Or Boyd over Pendles at the start of the year (stupid byes)
I wish I got Dangerfield instead of Gia lol.
I would be ranked in the top 1k lol.
If you could pick any player you woudl switch out round 1 for anotehr guy who would it be. Mine would have to be Mummy to Maric i would be 3 trades up and probably close to top 10.
Yeah that trade would of been crucial making an extra 100k.
And Mummy to Ivan would make another 200k.
Making an upgrade somewhere else... :(

hopefully my team can lift as it was only collingwood guys and grimes who saved me last week and now they are all gone. Still undcided in droping pendles or not, dont be suprised to see Boyd with the big C in my team.
my team is almost complete at the end of this round, trades are few though but i did that last year and have had a good run with injury so far, just Fyfe, Murphy, swan and ablett

Haha thanks guys :D Much appreciated. Just keep on pushing that top 100 both of you! :P I like bouncing ideas off people, so it helps me out greatly too. If anyone else wants to shoot some ideas, PM me and I'll try my best to respond asap :)

180
good work man, this week i reckon we can both be top 100
it depends im probably going to score 1750 with my current sqaud (based on averages) but i could trade pendles to boyd and bump it up to close to 1900. What are you looking like scoring based on averages. It would really help me in the decision to trade in boyd or not.
What im thinking is Pendles will be out this round and next. I trade in boyd ofr him now and thompson next week. I tihnk that will make me 200-250 points by saving donuts. If i do that I will be down to 3 trades after the byes and will have to hold clarke/hargraves as my 7th and 8th back.
I need to work out if Pendles and Carazzo can out average S.Thompson and Clarke/Hargaves by 250 points for the rest of the season.

And to everyone else, this leagues ranking is just starting to bust a couple of moves

His 10 donuts last week really screwed us up.
This round he might have a few more. :P

Yes...playing GC though..he could rack up a few points..!
I pulled a dirty move on windy, did my 2 trades thursdya night than 10 minutes before lockout traded pendles to boyd and put him captain. Lets hope that move gets me the win. I think it will come down to if sexton plays or not and if boyd can beat ablett.
5 donuts this week for me, so lets hope i can beat my last weeks score... Hopin Buddy goes huge again this week gave him the captain responsibilties

The Cream rises to the top with the Heroes top of the league.
not sure how long it will last im real low on trades and I might get run over by the teams with bulk trades.

Currently my strategy is going to the corner of the room in the fetal position screaming "please make it stop! No more injuries!!!".
So I rate your chances.
Last trades done this week,
Team come rd 14 barring injuries
Def: lids, Goddard, heater, waters, Johnson, Hargrave (Clarke,shaw)
Mid: swan, Albett, Boyd, Watson, Thompson, selwood (zorko, yeo)
Ruck: Maric, cox (big o, pattison)
Forward: sidey, buddy, beams, chappy, robbo, danger field Martin, (sexton, crozier)
I am pretty happy with it bar Hargrave and Martin really but trades don't permit that to change
Not having martin start of year would have been such a good move. :(
Wasn't the worst though for me he has broken even I was hoping for 95 +

Team looks great Chopps! How many trades do you have left?
Chopps I would like ask, where is your 7th defender on field?
I'm sure you have Suckling??
If you havent done the Maric trade yet chopps maybe Tom Campbell could be an option instead of Pattison.
You may of done it already and its to late, no big deal. :)

Johnson v Grimes
? v Carrots
Watson v Mitchell
Maric v Goldy
Cox v Giles
Chappy v Pav
I think you might have me beat
I am missing suckling in that list. I have Maric and suckling out this week though
How's everyone shaping up this week?
Looking at 2 doughnuts this week.
3 donuts, but could make a season ending trade this week.
It's either get SWanny this week and use 3 trades or get Swanny next week and get Stevie J this week :o
Cbf making an thread and all...
You already have Chappy? He would a better trade than getting Stevie J because of consistency.

Yeah got him. Not sure what I'll do, might just do my initial plan and hope Hargrave plays...
bloody hargrave

Yep, had to get himself dropped during the byes. ::)
changes my plans a bit probably for the better :P
how did we all fair during the byes? my scores were average but consistent made up 180 places went from 404ish to 102 and back out to 226
I moved up to 82 so not to bad
I moved up from about 10000 to 2000! The byes rounds actually helped me!
Great ranking to Fenno!
Cheers Flame
No matter what our ranking difference is your still my number 1 FF competition
Cheers Fenno! Ranking on the rise! I am still after revenge after your win in Elite League all those years ago! Ranked around 2k but would like to get closer to your 82nd rank!
I got to stop losing first to do better in this league
Pretty pivotal round of games this week by the looks.
There's basically a log jam from 6-11. Lol.
Just need cake & C.C to lose.

sorry mate not happening Ossie needs grimes to outscore zorko and rockliff oh and 114 point lead :D
CC and Lahug are going to go to the wire.
CC holds a 99 point lead but has a chappy donut + redden and harvey v rockliff, selwood, grimes.
all comes down to one of CC's having a good day out or one of Lahugs failing
i am rooting for CC as it will give me some hope of catching the top

Assuming that Grimes' score isn't adjusted down (which I personally think it should be because I can't see where some of those late tackles came from), I should just win my league games. Swan captain was very helpful!

I have two leagues ranked higher :o (one 14th and one 23rd) and I'm 6th and 4th in them respectively. Sitting 5th in this one. Strangely, my two lesser leagues I'm on top in ::)
14th Go PackHunters. Sorry i'll go now. ::)
i have two leagues above this that i am leading also leading my other two except i am bloody sixth in this one
Cmon boys, I'm hanging out for my weekly dose of Champs League rivalry...what's your rank?
If Champs 3 went up 15 spots I'm sure you guys made a nice move too. :)
Champs 2 at 123 still within striking distance. I know im shocked to ::)
we are 99th at the moment
Our problem is the Fark.
He has lost his password so he hasn't changed his team since round 5 :(
How can you lose your password? ::)
He has 2 teams...one for school, one for FF
Pretty sure you can get it back or change it if you click forgot password. shower excuse and poor form. Should never be accepted in a FF League ever again.
Yea people that give up shouldn't get another run unfortunately. Kills any chance for leagues
Yeah next year (hopefully I qualify) we can't have these losers like Fark lol.
Fenno you just do a Jormas and make 18 teams all of them can top 100.

Very disappointing! We should be top 20!
It seems it's the same people posting on here as last year+a couple of new coaches like WhatLez. :P
Lahug v Whatlez should be a good battle this wek.
Hargrave out really hurts me I now have 2 guys on the emrgency list and goddard, so a donut for me. Contemplating going down to 1 trade though.

I agree with you.
As long as the user is active and posts here every now and then, that is all we can ask for. He hasn't done any of that.
The curse of going to Friday night matches, you don't know final teams!!! Hurts me everytime!
Good win LaHug. Beau Waters out means you win. Nice work.
Once again...Luck. :P
looks like i could go down in a match i should never have had a chance of losing. cox nearly beats goldy by 100, waters a late withdrawal priddis a monster score to him and boomer toning up.
Was predicted to win by 184 points now predicted to losing by 53.
need buddy to be out as it will be trealor v a donut
I might even beat LaHug even with 2 donuts.
If either Hargrave or Darley plays then I should win :D

Even without Hargrave you're in with a chance... Cox outscoring Maric by 60 points despite the Mullet playing the Dees was a shock... I swear my team is going just that little bit subpar this week and I don't know why.
Nah you are shoein now with Devon smith having his best game in weeks and suckling junking it hard.
There goes my top spot.
Chappy is taking out Ablett and Selwood by himself.
Selwood has had a super last quarter so far.
So has Ablett...
Yep I can't win. My two donuts will prove the difference. Good win Will.
Im amazed somehow i look the favourite to win this match, Ablett and Selwood both putting on the superman cape saved me and pav is killing it.
Pav + 53 v Barlow + Lake : going right down to the wire

I guess I really did get lucky this week ::)
Still, my team doesn't look like it should need you to be missing a player just to match yours... I'd have thought both our teams look about on par.
Yeah your right, but remember 2 players out lol.
Boyd almost got me over the line. He lamost outscored Broughton by 100 lol.

Not over yet. It was a failure overall wise (Predicted) but not so much league wise as I have been scoring well the past few weeks (won this week btw and I am now 17th). Picking crap rookies at the start played a major role.
i cant believe i made similar mistakes to last year :o not again, next year will be better again for me too.

Trading in the first 2 rounds is never a good idea. You cannot really gauge there performance on those two games.
But this year a lot of lessons have been learned. :P
Big game against Flame this week. Reckon I have advantage...Just need D.Thomas to get up and play...
I learnt two big lessons.
1. Only the best of the best allowed in the midfield. Not having Boyd but still having Rocky, Stanton, Mitchell, Selwood is costing my 15+ points each week. 20 weeks of that is 300 points!!!
2. Don't trade in Stanton because he's "in form"... sigh
Looking forward to the big clash Windigo! Should be close! I have Waters, Franklin, Goddard and Martin out at this stage! Not sure if I will trade or not- you? A lot could come down to captain? You beat me last year so looking for revenge!
Yea my mistakes keeping rooks not named rd 1. Also top draft picks are good long run money makers but u generally need the bolters,

I have 6 and thought it wasn't worth trading to avoid a Buddy donut. Maybe reconsider...
I have 4 but am thinking to go Buddy to Goodes and then Shiel to Boyd! Is this worth it?
Copping no donuts this week! No emergencies though!

I traded dangerfield to cornes, cornes to zaha (at his lowest price) so i could afford d smith to christensen. Then christensen back to dangerfield and zaha back to scotland (after trading him when he was out before bye rounds for "3 weeks")
That doesn't include my whole mummy > hmac issues, so that's where all my trades disappeared too. Been a tough season, couple that with a few bad decisions and my year has not been fun.
@Flame, I would do those trades (but remember, I am tradeless at the moment haha)
Flame, I wouldn't do that unless I had donuts...
I'm thinking Buddy to Goodes or Pav this week.
If I do Buddy to Goodes, I can have lots of cash and go Martin/Zorko/Goodes/Danger/whoever is doing poorly to Buddy or Sidebottom later in the season.

Scotland, broughton, duffield all did badly with Maric out giving me a double ruck donut I believe.
I am in for a terrible, terrible week :'(
Broughton & Kreuzer not good.
But a lot of people have Broughton I'd think.
Pretty happy with Andy Moore for 210K at the time. ;)

Yeah i actually had a big game if it wasnt for marty clarke and broughton i could have had a huge week. Chopps was always a danger game and i think i got him in a good round with him coping 2 donuts. I traded hard for the win and it may come to cost me down the track.

Keeping Kreuzer.
Imagine where we would be coming if the Fark has changed his team since round 5 ::)
Add 3000 to his score...
Bit dissapointed in that TBH.
Was really looking forward to beating 31 from last year and all.

We will sought the wheat from the chaff and get FF Champs 1, 2 and 3 up there next year windi.
Sometimes it takes a couple of years to get it soughted. Alot more good coaches wanting in aswell
always helps. I'll be busy over the Summer contacting coaches and building new leagues, id like to get
another squad as good as PackHunters up and rolling in 2013. Give it another few years and with enough effort
in getting the coaches together we can own that top 20 page, theres more than enough talent here its
just a matter of getting them together. Im excited about 2013 tbh, guys like mochasons powertothepeople
inducted into more leagues and theres more out there. As coaches we need to be soughting through our leagues seeing who can do it year in year out and recruiting them with the promise of a good league and tough opposition.
If Ossie can do what he does then surely we can do this.
I'm always available to help some leagues and I try to be consistent. To be honest, I'm probably dragging down the Packhunters league a little bit... haha

FF Champs League turning from a FF Casuals league to a serious one?
Because most of the guys in the 1st league aren't the greatest we are just the more "older" FF users...

I would like to see the bottom 10 be a bit more competitive. The top 8 is pretty competitive but it drops off after that.

Had to quickly check to make sure I was top 8 :P got a bit of a scare because I'm trying really hard but not doing super well!
Haha, it feels like as soon as round one started I was behind the eight ball.
You try really hard & with all that effort you expect a good result. But one dodgy trade or a smokey that didn't pay off can really derail your team+byes don't help morale at all. ::)

Anywho, it's hard to predict who will perform (team) one year and who won't. I bet that there' s a great chance that people in the super-competitive league next year will be upset with a few guys in there league.
Next year, I'm not trying out a new strategy. I'm just gonna go with a stock standard team and just go with the flow :P
I got the superstar and I'm projected to win :D
But I might have one donut :(

The key i think is to refine your stratergy, i am going to take out a few faults and go with a similar stratergy again as i did this year and think i can easily improve again, only issue i see is it will never win the car.
Playing "Totally Canuckled"
Projected to beat him by about 100 :-\
Got a donut if Darley doesn't get call up.
I reckon he might..... :P
I think next year I won't be taking any dodgy risks and getting 4 of the best mids from the start, maybe even try 5 premium mids & get a couple of cheap options elsewhere....

4 premium mids is the answer, most of the top guys each yeah have it. Not the only way of doing it but seems to me to be the easiest.
Swan, Pendles, Murphy locked in for me and probably ablett

I suppose so, safe to say that I'll be exploring all options next year.
Swan, Boyd, GAJ & Redden I'm thinking again next year.
My DT just doesn't feel right without having him in their. ::) Hopefully next year he comes out and kills it.
If Darley or Hargrave doesn't play then Holz will get up :(
My unique are doing poor. Shaw.. Cox...
Cox on 88, not going that bad?
Whoops I was talking Exlam.
Umm Superstar will probably get up. Scott Thompson goes under his projected... ::)
Good day for the Red-Rock combo. 8)
2311 with 2 donuts. Didn't trade. Probably would of beat Holz if I did :-\

I can jump into 8th too...if I can topple Fenno :P Highly unlikely due to my recent sudden drop in rankings and Fenno being top 100 and all, but stranger things have happened this year :)
The fight for 8 th is on, glad I have made it but languishing in 7th despite being 3 rd in actual point
I'll make the 8 even though I have horrible form/...
O' Keefe + Scotland + 28 vs Ablett + Carrots
If I lose, can't make the 8...should be a very close match with Fenno :)
Top 4, for me :D
I'm going to lose this week but I think my ladder position is pretty safe.

In an amazing turn of events, I have beaten Fenno and 2 teams above me have lost... meaning I will finish...Richmond-th :'(

If only I had Zorko on instead of no one... :'(
Drag a chair out for me flame, looks very inviting. Just need a fishing rod. ::)
If Sam Shaw come on instead of Darley, I would need Boyd to score like 70 ::)
Or put zorko on to even up the unique instead of Robbo (not Mitchell), I would be winning... with Boyd to come..

I had like 4 players to crack the ton this week and for some unknown reason, my captain was not changed from dangerfield (I swear I had put it on mitchell, not that it mattered in the end) and I ended up taking 2 donuts (not getting gibson has killed me with swanny on the bench) so with that, I have scored a season low (not including bye rounds) of 1732, more than 200 less than my previous low score. FMDT. Hurry up 2013. And the pies lost. :(

I had a horror round also , the only thing that saved it was the pies lost (go roos :) )
and im out, my players just didn't perform when it counted.

How are the ranks looking for the 3 leagues.
FF Champs
FF Champs 2 Ranked 80
FF Champs 3
I think all 3 have done pretty well but would liked to of done better, would that be a fair assesment. I feel that way regarding Champs 2, did well could of done better.

year will see Champs back where they should be.

when we were in the top 20 leagues a bloke walked away cause he wasnt doing well in the league.

No but Grazz the Fark is down in points by like 4000.
Similar with us mate, our guy was lucky to pump out 1600's after he walked and it just got worse. As i said we were top 20 now we are at 51. everyones done a huge job to keep us there. :-\
Scotland and Rockliff vs. 8 points in the final.
I think I should win this ;)
Very excited! :D
Congrats Lahug.
Pity I didnt make it through to the final we are both projected for a 2300 score.
Scotland, Rocky, Maric v Mcevoy + 171 that would have been a good battle.
Bit of sour grapes by me.
Yeah I have also had a fair round.
Luckily for me, my opponent decided that not having Swan was acceptable...
Everyone from this year keen to go around again?
Minus FARK. :P
Yep I'm in.
I plan on winning it next year. I always go strong in the season and crumble in finals.

Hoping we can break into the top 20. In 2011 we were like 31. :(
Yeah sorry, I was bloody terrible last season. I'm going to bounce back however.
Why was FARK evicted ? haha :o
Haha. Well he just abandoned his team after like a month or so and we were left with a ghost team knocking out mediocre scores and it affected our overall ranking a little bit. :P
Lock Me In Windi :D
No worries Marcz, glad to have you aboard for 2013! 8)
I'd be keen again guys -thanks for the invite!
Started poorly last year, but came home really strong - including finishing 8th one week which was a PB for me.
I've just regenerated the Champs League from last year, so everyone has been invited. ;)
Check you emails, or PM me asking for it. ;)

Calm down Grazz. Do you want to join Champs 1?
Had the option to join last year and stuck with my boys. Champs 2 are better mate. :P

Yeh your Gold Medalists at that, be very difficult to beat in that department.
lets watch champs league 1 turn it up with 18 active players.. its on!!
I'll be active for sure! Woo!
Fenno (although a bit controversial at times) is a quality DT'er, I'd wait for him at least.
Thornz was a no show on here all of last year pretty much and hasn't been online for months. Still waiting. :P
I am waiting for Fenno in Elite League too- great coach!

For sure, puts up very consistent rankings each year. 8)
Fenno is a jet. Shame for him I'm an anti-aircraft gun.
Interesting,coach pulls out of Champs 4 stating over committment,
then joins champs 3.
Hmm,what do we make of this?
Treason or Poaching.
I'd say that is side with the enemy, treason. :P
Which coach is that! I'll ban him!

Thats a bit rude. :o
if he was a high ranking in 4 then probably ok
Plenty higher Chopps, so where's the integrity here.
We are still 3 short,how is 1 & 2 travelling numbers wise?
Champs 2 have 4 guys refusing to answer multiple PM's about joining. :(
J959
scratchy
bundyboy
youl_R_Fck
Disappointing Grazz,j959 has a supercoach thread called Tragics,is it happening?
To me Grazz,you put your name down & you stick with it.Leaving for a better offer lets down a number of people.
The hardest thing here, FF Champs leagues obviously try to keep coaches together from previous years,but people leave for numerous reasons.Maybe they come back at the death,who knows.But in the end it holds up coaches and other leagues.
Something to look at next year!Maybe seperate threads for each FF Champs with individuals in charge to take ownership & recruit.
Maybe that already happens.Now we have a situation where most regulars have committed to 5 leagues.
I am probably like you Grazz , just want things to run smoothly.
We run seperate threads already mate so shouldnt be an issue but yeh it makes things very difficult when people refuse to confirm or deny joining when theyve commited to the league in the thread, you do your best to get them highly competetive leagues and then your left hanging. I wont be waiting till the last minute for them to join i'll be replacing them soon as ive made a commitment to those that have joined that it will be a quality league and i need to follow through with that for their sake. It takes nothing but a few minutes to check into FF and reply to a PM so i dont get it. Its very annoying tbh.
The PM's are another issue where obviously some people get sick of receiving them from people they don't know or care for.
But a tip for them would be to respond with an answer and they might stop.
That might even be the correct and right thing to do!
Must be a full green moon mate,i'm on a roll today.
other option is make it more exclusive which generally creates more demand, problem with the other champs leagues is there is no cap to how many leagues or create the want to be in a higher one, promotion on yearly basis. only issue with this is if you are good and start in a lower one it'd take ages to get to the champs league which imo and a biased opinion is freaking sweeeeeeeet :D

It may well need to be in the future Chopps, i was kindly invited by Windi last year to join Champs 1 but stayed with Champs 2 out of loyalty to be honest. Another option which i see as fairer is for the title of 1 2 3 4 go to the various leagues in order of finish ie whoever out of the four leagues ranks the highest gets the #1 then whoever is 2nd gets #2 and so on and so on. This way you can remain loyal to your league and those that organise them can build a strong league over time via recruiting each new season if they choose. Hows that sound.
You've done this before mate.
Maybe a time frame to enter league ie.48 hrs,and have that boldly written on the initial thread.
Quote from: greenmoon on February 09, 2013, 05:14:50 PM

Time frames such as 48 hours are to harsh, alot of people holiday this time of year, some work in the mining industry with no internet etc, theres a multitude of reasons why people may not be able to join in 48 hours. I think 2-3 weeks from opening date is fair and for those that are coming on but not replying, well that should be up to the league organiser to decide if they will turf them sooner and take another coach. What they dont realise is they are ignoring everyone who has joined not just the organiser of the league they are snubbing all involved. I have a book i use because i organise so many coaches into leagues that i need a book haha, those that choose to just not reply ever get written down and i wont except them again in any league i control. If a guy gets back to me and says sorry i was ill' or i was away or whatever thats fine but if they never reply then get stuffed im not here to waste my time with them, so never again, that simple.
Yeah the 48hrs was a bad example, but if everyone knows up front ,they will either log in,let you know they cant and when they can or not respond and be moved aside.
Do you run a book on all sports.Ha ha even darts. :)
Nuh just the leagues i run in FF, if i ran a book about darts i would of burnt it by now. :P

Well if it works like that then can we get a better league? We are full of inactivish guys, hence the bad ranks :(
You could start a relegation system, top/bottom 3 move

Seeing as your the Admin of Champs 1 Windi, does the idea of putting up the #1 for Champs leagues sound ok to you or would you like to put it to a vote with the coaches in your league. I think it will add some spice to the season dont you. ;)

Yup, Zac is thornz

I wouldn't mind a running tally after each week to gauge how we are going against each FF Champ league?

Yeh mate whoever out of the 4 Champs leagues ranks the highest at years end gets the #1 for their title then 2nd highest gets #2 and so and so on, will add a bit of spice to the season with something riding on it.
I think seeing this is the most popular thread alot of posting and banter will go on here regarding how each league has gone that week and how we are stacking up against each, i will if thats ok with you guys. Enjoy the banter with you lot as its all in good fun.

I don't mind it, but we cannot forget that this is the original Champs league. So we've still got to keep that association with the first (this) one.

How would you go about keeping the recognition that FF Champs was the 1st Champs created, i have no drama with this by the way just wondering how you would do it.
Yeh you may want to put it to a vote with all involved in your league or whoever you believe needs to be consulted.
Well, not sure if Monty can do it.

Im no gun and your right it takes all 18 to get the job done, Champs 3 showed us both the way in 2012 so their the guys we both gotta catch.

Yeh i like the fact that we could end up Champs 4 or Champs 1 in 2014, puts a bit of pressure on all involved if your a competative nut like me. Plenty of time to work out how you guys can be highlighted as the original Champs, we are only a week younger than you guys but i respect the fact that Champs 1 was the first born.
a week is a long time in footy remember ::) yea plenty of time i vote yay but need more votes from the champs.
we are so gonna show you why you're champs 2 :p

No worries looking forward to the challenge already, Champs 2 got rid of a bit of deadwood this year with the removal of Miss Pies who held us back a bit last year, plus weve lost a couple that were in both leagues after we decided that coaches couldnt be in multiple Champs Leagues so we are recruiting some very good replacements this year so i have no doubt we will be much improved on last year. Confident we can push hard to finish top in 2013.

Haha true but in 2012 we imitated Champs 1 better then they did themselves, Champs 1 imitated the word "last". Would be crushing for you guys to imitate that again as it certainly wouldn't be flattering a 2nd time around, in reality i guess it wouldn't be imitating it would just be repeating, not sure on that one. I feel tbh Champs 2 are not imitators we are intimidators. :P

When you can is fine mate, no rush i know your a certain starter. :)
McBasketball fin - 10729 last year, but giving it serious go this year as usually give SC the serious go
3 spots in the champs League left.
Chatterz24, Chrisuzz & Fenno all haven't responded.
Is it time we find replacements or what? Fenno is a good coach to have, so I'd still wait for him. ???
Chrisuzzhasnt been responding to me either, and he has been online
Maybe next year the Champs captains should just wipe slate clean and recruit their teams.
Now we have champs 1,4 and even 2 short i think.
I know if had not put my name down earlier i would of taken up Whatlezs offer to join.
But once you commit you stay committed in my book.
4 captains at the start of the year say Windi,Grazz,Mr.Craig & Tbag and just go your hardest to get your best team.
Waiting for coaches from the previous years to respond must be frustraing and really questions their committment on the whole,
Some obviously have strong reasons but just to log on and jump on surely just takes 5mins.
This is just an opinion.
I just like keeping tradition of the same 18 coaches go around every year. But it seems that some aren't as enthusiastic as others.. :-\

Yeah,i am with you mate,most have the same opinion as you. You will probably always have a nucleus of 14 that stay every year.
I am probably just thinking rather than start a fourth,fill the others first.

+1 if someone wants to leave thats fine but im going with the guys from last season and as i said if someone leaves then look for another.
Yep,i understand.
We are the FF Champs.
Anyone can join the culture of our league but will have to deal with the the fact that they will have to be CL 2,3,4 etc. We are always "FF Champs League" (1).
As for a reshuffle for leagues, happy for it to happen in the other leagues but not this one :P I'm happy with just replacing in active guys.

I dont understand what your saying here Q. :-\
Join the culture but deal with always being CL 2,3,4. ?
We are all (2,3 and 4) happy to remain as we are, i just thought it would add some spice if the 1 was up for grabs and said to windi discuss it amongst your coaches and see what they say, the spice it would add earning the right to be called Champs 1 we (Champs 2) thought would of made it more interesting. I can sense you dont feel that way which is ok as id like to keep it fun banter rather than serious banter.
Quote from: whatlez on February 17, 2013, 03:38:15 AM
No. Champs One have some bad coaches and inactive coaches so losing our top spot is not fair.
No worries Lez thats fair enough if thats how the majority of you all feel mate, no pressure as it all has to be fun for everyone thats the important part. Just thought it would add an extra element of fun to it. :)
Just clarifying your statement "our top spot" you are Champs 1 because you were created a week before Champs 2 by the same person,Mish, you are Champs 1 by name only, Cant be "Top" when you come last. You have to earn that as Champs 3 did last year, they are the "Top league" currently, all you blokes have got is a number 1 nothing more than that really. :P

We're the number one league!! Lol
What I was saying is we are always going to keep this name, but if you want to put your No.2 spot up for grabs for the 3rd and 4th league - go ahead :)
edit: Also, are you sure Champs 2 was created a week later than 1? This league started in 2011...

Champs 2 was created a week later than Champs 1 by Mish in 2011 mate, thats when i joined. Mish can confirm this. :)
Not much point putting 2 up for grabs if you decided not to put 1 up for grabs, did you decide for everyone or was this a democratic vote. :P
When we win this year we'll be known as FF Champs Champions, has a nice ring to it. :P
No I gave my opinion? And so did others...

We're are the original champs league.
Who actually created 3 & 4?? ???

Mr. Craig I think.
Just saying, Champs League 3, best Champs league of 2012...
I was just looking at the leagues...
Right now there's 4 leagues all along the champs theme
FF Champs
FF Champs 2
FF Champs 3
FF Champs 4
However, all is not as it appears, as after doing some research turns out the league creators made a typo when creating their leagues
It should read
FF Champs
FF Chumps 2
FF Chumps 3
FF Chumps 4
There's only 1 true league of Champs and that's the original, the rest of you can pretend all you want.
All aboard guys.
Look forward to a nice ranking come years end!

Damn straigh skippy - FF Champs 3 - the original :o and the best!! ;D
FF Champs 3 original.....?
i dont mind the idea of something on the line but would prefer champs to stay champs as that was the concept.
relegation of say the bottom four and the best four of the rest move in. just my opinion
Champs league One is in the market for two new coaches after one isn't doing DT and never told me and the other is....Well I dunno, maybe dead. ::)
who are we missing? I've got a mate who's only just signed up to FF and could join? He's pretty handy like I am.

They have set the benchmark no question but i feel with some leagues ive seen on the boards and another ive created there is a very real chance 4th overall could be surpassed in 2013. FF CLASSOF 2012 on paper looks outstanding. The new league on the block FF LeagueLeaders will be a serious threat in 2013, hand picked to compete with FF PackHunters. Along with 5 or 6 ive seen created by newer members for 2013 the competition is going to be the toughest yet i feel.

Anything over 2000 is a good weekend IMO.
1779 with Jelwood & Bartel.
Holy crap. Could I be looking at a top 5k finish? Or anything over 2000 for that matter?
Rank at the end of Round 1 - 157

Yep, will lift guys. Goodes and Viney on the bench hurt. Damn useless high draft picks
I appologise for that embarassing score.
Longer Robbo BEAMS!!!! Zorko just couldnt catch a break.
good thing for the 2 trades a week i need them. picked al the good rooks so thats ok, just a few guys to fix up, will be back though to help the champs. lets go top 50 this year.
More like top 20. ;D
If someone got below 1800 I'd be disappointed. All over 1800+ happy with that. :)
Got all the correct rookies, Koby was on track for an 80 with some junk. But I'll going Koby>JJK & Robbo>Mummy.

Just hating on Karnezis.
ROK looked great in the first quarter then disappeared for a half, still he beat Ablett.
Rookies were in the right positions at least. Looking at 2050ish i reckon

Dismal display from some teams this week...
I don't really wanna talk about it, basically not having Hepp & having H.H ruined my score. :P
Sorry guys :(
Same here.. Did we both have Hamish by any chance? :P
What's your league rank lads?
140...
And so the first week of the H2H's begins.
Anyone see any really good match ups...My DT page won't load, so I can't see! ::)
I'm going to lose all my league games because almost everyone I'm playing has near identical teams to me except I have Bellchambers and they have someone that's not a massive spud.
Me v Mish
Embley v Whitfield
NRoo v Dusty
Moloney v Cotchin
Ablett v Rioli
Franklin v Danger
(I'm left) - Who do you guys think will win? NRoo against the giants could potentially be a 110+ score...

Haha, at least I was good at Cross Country. ::)
Why does this league suckso bad? Lol
We actually came in a few spots. Building nicely. :P
We need to rebuild next year and recruit the best of all the champs leagues. To do this, Windigo you have to go :P
Pretty sure it was me who got you into this league in the first place.
I've only really had one bad week, Hartlett was the only reason for last week when everyone had Heppell. But H.H has more tons than him this year! 8)
I reckon I'm in for a huge week, don't lose hope. :)
I was joking for you, but some of these people in our league is a joke...
Yeah, I realize you were joking. But your words still hold truth in them. :P
I think we will have to have a major re-shuffle nek year. :)

It's been 3 weeks into a long season, it's not a Melboune like train wreck!
I started the exact same way last year and still finished around 2000th overall. Just let me improve again ;)

Looks like I might be having another good week with Roo's 153 just sweetening ever so much!
All I need is Hamish to break even with Hepp. Which seems to be where every week I could be potentially be behind the 8 ball..

We are on a roll, lets keep smashing it! :)
What were we ranked last week? It's a pretty huge improvement isn't it?
I got unlucky this week, 5th highest score in the league and ran into 1 of the 4 higher scoring teams. Same with Chopps, he scored 4th highest this week and ran into one of the other two who scored higher this week.
Poor Chopps and Nails :o
EDIT: Just checked another league Chopps and I are in (Bluddy Goode)
Poor fella had a rough week. Scored 3rd highest overall for the week in this league, ran into 2nd highest score for the week.
I think we were like 100 something last week. Huge jump. ;)
Not much help from me :/
Though I dragged you guys up last round!
So Flame, nervous about getting destroyed this week by me? ;D
Martin Vs LeCras
Riewoldt Vs Zorko
Cotchin Vs Selwood
Mitchell Vs Redden
Grimes Vs Hartlett
Before trades. Should be tough. :)
Looking forward to the challenge Windigo! Not sure what I'm doing with trades yet!! Gibbs and Goodes are out already!!
We've both come good after a slow start!!
I don't wanna reveal too much about my trades. Even though I think we've discussed it last week. :P
2242 this week 8)
2241 < 2291
:P
10,301 > 10,188
:P
Catching you, 50 points this week. 150 nek week.

Well done guys, big jump this week for ya's. Goodluck for this week.

Murphy needs 30 in the last quarter for you to win....going to be close
Up another 3 spots. :)
We just need to catch those darn Champs 2... I'm gradually improving ;)
I'm happy with 2040. Sitting at 365 overall and should bring in another premium this week. Gibbs back would be a bonus as well!

I'm coming for the top league spot fellas. Watch out! Increased my overall rank by 1000s each week the last few weeks. I'll top 1K next week at this rate ;)
The way my team is looking, I'll be number one overall next week & will pocket a nice weekly ranking cash prize. :P

Whats Champs total score Windi.

Where is the total points at? ???

There isnt anywhere to see it i dont think mate you need to add each players total score i reckon.
1997 x 18 gives you 35946 total, not sure how accurate that is but puts you guys 559 behind us.
Nothing in it really as big point swings can occur from week to week.
Champs 3 is averaging 1991 so we're not too far behind.

Starting to tighten right up, well done guys. ;)
Only 4 POD's with my game against LaHug.
A big one from Franklin might just secure it for me ;D
Mayes (60), Bartel (90), Deledio (115), Ellis (90) = 355
Franklin (100), Birchall (100), Dwyer (55), O'Keefe (85) = 340
Just my guesses but, by that, it looks stupidly close...
A sub for any of Mayes, Ellis, Dwyer would seal it. A huge return to form by Buddy would give it to you. Deledio having his way with the Dees could give it to me.
Game of the round ;)

Meh
Ellis is more like 75 and Deledio 103 instead. Though Bartel 102.

Ellis is more like 75 and Deledio 103 instead. Though Bartel 102.
I think you forget that he's playing the Demons. I could score 75 against them so surely Ellis can get more around the 90 range ;)
Ossie has a donut.... :)
Na. It's just Ellis and Deledio suck against Demons.
Benched Mayes as I thought he would be sub... Winning ;D
Now Dwyer just has to score more than a subbed Mayes... (push a 90 instead of a 40 mate!)
Dywer is too risky I reckon, went with Caff for safety. :-X
Risk it for the biscuit.
And my putting Mayes on the bench might be outweighed by the fact I have Birchall.... Mayes to outscore him at this rate..
Why didn't anyone tell me that Mayes was an obvious sub? I didn't see or hear it anywhere until this game started >:(
finally pulling my weight guys alomst cracked the 2300 with a 2299. If only SJ played i wouldnt have had neade stink it up on the field.
Ellis I love you and watch out the heroes are back. Stevenson can leave my side next week and im bringing in another premo

You beat me in Elxam with a ridiculous score! I thought I did pretty well this week but not well enough
Up to 18th. :)
Well done Champs! Doing FF proud, now to catch Champs 2!
Beat Marcz this week. 2nd on the ladder but 1st on overall points, sitting at 166th and 40-odd in Vic. Not sure what I'm gonna do this week, might double downgrade.
Was looking forward to playing mish this week.
Nek minnit has Swan as C & he doesn't have GAJ. :P
How is everyone doing?
I'm on 1692 with Cox, Nic Nat, Vlas and JJK to come.
To beat the Ball Maggots, Cox and Nic Nat need to score 134 combined.
Not very well, Q...
On 1415 with Martin, Deledio, Cotchin, Priddis, Cox, Vlas, and JJK.

Haha just shows there is a footy God mate and he looked after you lol that is funny. All week I was worried id do the same as you blokes and I was double checking everything yesterday evening to make sure I didn't.
What's with all you cocky dicks? The best team is currently sitting 11th but will surge up the ladder and win the grand final from here.

Yes... :(
I've got a doughie as well.
Marcz has 2 doughies
I have 20 + 2 emerg. Traded out a few rd 13 players early to make up for my lost rankings in rd 11 and then rd 12...
I'm looking solid this week. A fair chance at a 400 point win to boost my % and climb into the 8 or very close to it this week.
I need to start learning everyone's names... I know a few :P
Beat Zac's Zoo quite comfortably...

Can the battle for 8th spot get any tighter? :o
I don't think winning will be enough for me here. He plays 18th ranked on points this week, I play 2nd. Will probably need 6th of 7th to lose and I don't like my chances...
I'm just glad I'm off the bottom!

Hopefully no post game adjustments.
Had Griffen + Minson + 70 points vs. Redden, Leuenberger and Bob Murphy
absolute thriller.
DT was flowered up
Was 2,313 vs. 2,309
Wow Nails...7 points in a prelim..well done..bad luck Windi... 8)
Have to play against Windi in Elite League Grand Final ::)
ffs why such a difficult team to play against
Reckon we must have played each other 30 times this season #sickofwindi
Minson kept flowering scoring in the last QTR. ::)
Haha, it's like every second week I'm Vsing Nails. :o
That was our 5th matchup this season in DT. (We probably played a few times in SC too)
Currently the series stands at Nails 3 vs. Windi 2
We have met twice in the Finals so far, I have won both times. One a qualifying final where we meet up now in the grand final
The other this week in the prelim final.
By next week we will have played each other 6 times. #gettingsickofyou
Haha, not to mention DT Elite as well? :P
You also knocked me out of 8th spot last year in the last round of the season... >:(

and the year before that haha :P
Plenty of spots left..............
PM me the code and reserve me a spot
Pretty sure I joined already? Not on AF Now though
Sent.
I did like a mass code send like a month ago. :P
I really need to sign up for leagues for DT/SC/AF and actually do my team otherwise I'm going to be in less leagues than ever before...
Please other respected coaches send me codes to your developed leagues, I think my reputation and 2nd runner up in m0nty medal speaks for themselves (hopefully, haha)
I've sent you the code twice already? ???
I meant other leagues
like where is Elite league and those leagues I was in last year
and I need invites to new leagues :o
I already joined champs, champ.
Have had 5 coaches not reply or return to Champs 2 this year which is a shame for us but good news for you guys is suppose.
Struggling to get it full at the minute. All the best to you guys for 2014.
What did you guys call yourselves this year, sorting through overall league ranks for the FF Leagues to see how the rivalry is going so far. Cheers.
We got burnt by the FanHub "must have 18 players by Rd1" rule so we didn't even get a league....

Really, sorry to hear that people's. AFL is pretty screwed up as in Dudges Moneyleague we do each year we have a team with no players in it (we call it the bye, great for %) yet somehow the league got through.

We didnt actually create the team for that purpose J, the team does belong to someone who then decided they couldn't be stuffed, go figure.

12/18 players resulted in a "league not scheduled".
I was lucky enough to play in a few other good leagues. Disappointing this one never got going.
