Bank Balance: $233,000
Trades Used: 0
Overall Ranking: 53,790
Rnd 1 Score: 2,080



Rnd 1 was a shocker, not due to the fact of poor player selection but players scoring 100+ on the bench! A late surge from Nick Dal Santo (Captain) got me above the 2,000 mark. With the cash, next round I am considering downgrading Coniglio to Smith/Couch and then upgrading Morris to Pearce Hanley (Unique, Should Improve, 1.3% Ownership) or Shannon Hurn (Booming kick, Great for SC). I will watch both these players closely in Rnd 2.
Another option is to upgrade Porplysia to a Rioli/Beams/Cloke with the money for better scoring potential. This however will rob Porplysia of any price rises. I am leaning towards option one. I would be interested in others thoughts on this...

Morris will come good I believe. I have the same bench as you and am seriously considering Yagmoor out if he does not get more this week rather than Morris.  I am one of 1.4% with Hanley so will probably be trading to Mohr if he scores well again this week.

Rnd 2 Player SC Review

1. Jack Redden - Played well scoring 109 however I was looking for something bigger after last week. Will come under scrutiny from   the MRP. Rank: B
2. Jarred Redden - Scored a 61 which is good for a replacement for Mumford. I lost 50 points from Mummy being out. Rank: B
3. NickMalceski - Sensational! A terrific 104 was just ideal and looks back to his old form. Rank: A+
4. Greg Broughton - A good second half rounded his score to 72 which is okay... Considering he was on 30 at HT. He may be traded soon however will be given 1-2 more weeks. Rank: C
5. Nathan Fyfe- Played well but his DE let his SC down. Will bounce back next week. Rank: B
6. James Magner - Wonder rookie! Superb game and should be safe for 85+ average. Rank: A++
7. Peter Yagmoor - Not named and will be traded to a performing Mid-Pricer. C.Dempsey is favorite for his position but I will watch a few others. Rank: D-

Note: If I trade out Ellis over Yagmoor I can afford Hurn.... Is it worth it?

Overall it was a decent round, scoring 2,161 but I will be hoping for a 2,300+ to boost me up the ranking this week!

Nope, Ellis is a playing rookie who will be increasing in value, where Yagmoor is no where near best 22, let alone best 25.

Yagmoor to Dempsey/Lake or even a decent rookie would be best.

I have done Yagmoor to Dempsey.  :)
Now thinking of either getting in Greene, Bower or Milera. Thinking Greene but unsure. Am thinking of waiting a week on Broughton as he will only drop $50k. It should give me time to access other options. Thoughts?

Edit: I then did Couch > Greene.

After Round 2:
Overall Ranking: 43,121 (Up 10,669)
