Just looking at your team (and not your trades), you've gotten unlucky in midfield. Swan, Mundy, Selwood, Montagna all suffered injuries of varying degrees which is affecting their scores or making them miss games. Also, the Gibbs/Adcock/Gram/Heppell can all score sub-70s and hurt your scoring and Chapman & Higgins injuries haven't helped either.

If I was you, I'd be selling Mundy for Ablett this week, downgrading Swallow if you need the cash. Knights -> Howe/Callinan also a possibility for a downgrade.

You're going to have to keep the faith in your injury-prone stars.

very solid team by the looks, bit hard to comment on what to do without knowing how many trades you have

Chopps · June 13, 2011, 07:05:54 PM

lots of cash about 168 and enough trades to do what needs to be done :D

i am not looking to change much because i think the line up is solid just dont understand where it all went wrong

Its the curse of playing me! It just had a delayed effect...

Your right the team is solid, midfield will hurt this week. Your going to need Swallow as cover so go Knights up to O'Keefe maybe or jump on the Rioli train and DPP someone into the mids.

Might as well dump Mundy immediately. Best options are Sam Mitchell, Gary Ablett and Marc Murphy. Different choices, value for money is Mitchell.

Did you run across the path of a black cat recently, walk under a ladder, break a mirror or open an umbrella indoors?

Seriously it's bad luck for your midfield Chopps :'(

Nothing to do with your selection strategy, that's a fine team you've got 8)

Boyd Captain this week? - Let us know early so we know who not to pick ;)
