Do I start the Frenchman

[redgum]

I had LeCras as a non-scoring forward last weekend and after losing in 2 of my leagues by less than 40 points and getting my lowest score of the season I was  :-[ and  :'(

So do I start him this week, given that he has never reached the SC ton until his 220+ last week?

FWDS:
Chappy, Pav, ROK, Goodes, Delicious, J-Pod, Browny (Rockliff, LeCras)

(I would bench Browny I reckon)

[Bob the builder]

12 goals never hurt so much redgum.. OUCH!!

[redgum]

yep

Staring at the screen. Pods 52, Brown 74. Look in the other column. LeCras 226.

ouch

[Solat]

nice situation to have to 9 viable forward options

Browny & Rocky @ Skilled vs Cats on a loss
Pods @ Skilled
LeCras @ Home vs crap form team

hard to go past him & Pods as starters

Id say your forward line bench is a bit over loaded  :o.  Id be downgrading at somestage and making some cash from your bench to use elsewhere in your team.

You have way too much cash on the bench! As you found out you will kick yourself when bench players do well!

Time to trade and upgrade else where.... ::)

[redgum]

I know guys.

I've got 6 trades and $300k. I'm thinking about bringing in a cheap rookie MPP Mid/Fwd so I can move him to my fwd bench and move someone like Chappy/Goodes/O'Keefe into the MIDS. But my MIDS are:

GAJ, Selwood, Bartel, Hayes, DalSanto, Judd (JKT, Gysberts)

so if one of those bench guys becomes Chappy/Goodes/O'keefe I just end up with an overloaded MID.

I have all 9 DEF playing too with:

Hodge, Goddard, Gilbert, Enright, Kelly, Malceski

and Waters / Strijk / Webberly for that last onfield DEF spot.

One of my trades will be to upgrade my second ruck (currently got Sandi and Trengrove [PA]) and I would like to get Riewoldt back in if his formline starts to rise so that way I can keep 3 or 4 trades for finals.

anyway:

I think I'll go with the 2 lions on the pine this week and hope LeCras lightning can strike twice.

[Blueboys]

Upgrade Trengrove to Cox....  ;)

300k in the bank and Rockliff & LeCras on the bench! Your having a laugh right!  ???  ;D

[redgum]

Still failed to get 2000 on the weekend (although my best for the year was 2719 in round 12).

Yeah Trengrove -> Cox is looking right, and then one of my FWDs to Riewoldt when the time is right. Get the MPP in the mid to cover them and I think the team is finished

[Blueboys]

WoW under 2000 - Guess NDS out didn't help. I recon your on the right path and know what you need to do!  ;)

[redgum]

Thanks Blueboys.

Tell Judd to rip it up for me this week :)

[Blueboys]

always seems to play week againest WC  ;D
