2017 HoleMeal Team- Diary.

[HoleMeal]

Scored 2117. Top 3% for the week.
Rose to 5031st overall, up from 9700th, so very happy.

$91k in bank and 26 trades left- going for league win, sitting 2nd.


BACK- Doch, Howe, Laird, Marchbank, Hampton, Otten (Newman, Stewart)

MID- Danger, Treloar, JPK, Murphy, Fyfe, Oliver, Beams, SPS (Pickett, Hibberd, SPP)

Ruck- Nank, Sandi (Preuss)

FWD- Dahl, Greene, Mcrae, Roughy, WHE, Houston, (Butler, Eddy)

Early thoughts for this week are...
SPP out for Balic
Roughie out, bring Nank down, trade Stef Martin into Rucks

Soon I can go Preuss to Strndicia opening up RUCK/FWD link with Nank PLUS pocketing around $200k hopefully.


Comments as usual appreciated.

[AaronKirk]

Burning through those trades early mate but I like your trades.

[Ringo]

Trades look sound but be wary on trades as you still need a minimum of 7 orems to get.

[HoleMeal]

Traded out Roughy, moved Nank down to Fwds and brought in Stef Martin.
Also traded out SPP for Fisher.

Scored 2366. 205th highest score of the week.
Rose to 1116 overall.

$37,800k in bank and 24 trades left- going for league win, sitting 2nd.

Burning through the trades but am planning on stopping for a few rounds once I hit 20.
Thoughts for this week are
WHE to Aaron Black. His BE is now 69 and there is a chance his JS may be shaky after a below par performance on ANZAC day.
SPS to Balic if named.
Will give me a war chest of $400k.

WHE is a difficult one for me as from what I saw Buckley played him on the wing slightly behind the ball. This meant that he wasn't getting leading marks from the first few weeks. Whether this was to do with playing Adams/Pendles/Cox forward or if its just the Buckley stupidity factor seeing as he is on of their best set shot kicks.

He won't gain cash for the next few weeks, but still has cash to make if played in the beneficial position. Will all depend on options for me. I might hold for 1 more and take a 5k loss if he doesn't pull out a 70+.

OK thinking 1down and 1 up this week as I have an easy league game next week and can afford to do 2 down next week.
2 down this week
2 down next week
MEGA CASH BUILD

This week-
SPS to Balic
WHE to Hardwick
$403k in bank


Next week-
Butler to Parson
Marchbank OUT
Hibberd (Nth) from mid to def
Balic from fwd to mid
Aaron Black IN (as long as he plays well)
Total in bank will be $778k

[HoleMeal]

Thoughts guys?

[Carn]

Ok if your going for league. With all that cash in bank you might fall away from the overall ranks.

Yeah a cash league worth a few bob.

Solid plan if your priority is your cash league.

[Ringo]

Think you should maybe look at Pickett as well.  Do not see him making much more cash. WHE could achieve his B/E so would do Pickett to Hardwick.

[HoleMeal]

Scored 1819. Week from hell!
Slipped to 5690 overall. Fell 4500 places or thereabouts.  :(

$401,400k in bank and 22 trades left- going for league win.

Traded out SPS for Balic and WHE for Aaron Black. The 2nd trade hurt me badly and lost me my league game.


BACK- Doch, Howe, Laird, Marchbank, Hampton, Otten (Newman, Stewart)

MID- Danger, Treloar, JPK, Murphy, Fyfe, Oliver, Beams, Balic (Fisher, Hibberd, Pickett)

Ruck- Martin, Sandi (Preuss)

FWD- Dahl, Macrae, Greene, Nank, Butler, Houston (Black, Eddy)

Looking at my team I have around 8 more upgrades to make. I am burning through the trades but plan to stop eventually and leave 6 for the Finals hopefully  :-X

Really struggling with what to do this week and badly need help with options.

1 up and 1 down? Houston to Parson or Hampton to McNeice? Then Butler to Buddy or Marchbank to Adams?

2 up?
Hampton and Marchbank to Roberton and Shaw?
Butler and Houston to Buddy and Yeo?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

And I haven't even mentioned the MRP yet!!  >:( >:(

i like the defence upgrades

[Ringo]

Can you afford one of each at all as that would be my preferred. If not wait for the MRP as you may need the forward upgrades.

[HoleMeal]

Plenty of cash. tick
Burning through the trades. tick
Issues with MRP. tick

Any thoughts fellas?
