RD1 Review:
After my RD1 score I was very disappointment in my team as a whole, so far my plan going very heavy in the mid was a fail but lets just hope it was just for this round. My Def with Rance was a shock but lets just hope it will only this round same goes with Docherty which wasn't bad for a defender but for someone I paied 600k for I want a min of 100 week in week out. Mid really happy with maybe just the Bont a little bit higher same goes with O'Meara but for him I will give him time cause its his first game in 2 years. With Ruck props the happiest part of my team. With Forward my most disappointing part with  Caddy, Taranto and Parfit.

Trades:
As trades go don't think any is really necessarily and I want my rooks to still gaining money and my team I'm happy with I just think it was an off week.

Conclusion
Is there any trades I should make or just leave it and more on and wait for next week.

[chief007]

have to use the 2 trades wait till teams are named and see what u can do with the roookies

[GoLions]

Are you more of a SC player? Quite a few of your picks are players that are better suited to SC. Would look at dropping Rance and maybe Swallow for a mid rookie and a top defender if you can (e.g. Adams, Laird, Simmo).

[Ringo]

Definitely get rid of Rance he is more suited to SC and will always score more there than in AF. Will not be in Top 10 defenders in AF.
I would look at Swallow to SPP and Rance to Laird, Adams or Simpson or whatever defender you can afford.,

[PureSwag]

Thanks for all your support.

Yeah I'm more of a SC players I've been doing SC for 4 years now and one of my friends introduce me to AF and I said I will do it, I was thinking Swallow down to a rook maybe McGrath and then up Rance to Laird. Will be toying around till I find a good pick.

Trade Update
Been looking around at your trade suggestions and found a possible two trades.
Trade 1: In: McGrath Out: Swallow
Trade 2: In: Howe Out: Rance

Reason
I'm doing trade 1 because you guys said Swallow isn't a good pick so I had a look and went for McGrath because looking at it Essendon will be running him off half-back with his speed (Like a Shaw) and he could possible get around 80 for the year and earn you a ton of money. Trade 2 is because Rance isn't a good Fantasy player and Howe is looking like his going to have a good year because he gets a lot of the ball as a defencder and because collingwood defence isn't that strong so he is their number one defender.

Salary Cap after Trade: 44k

Conclusion
I like this trade and I hope you guys do as well and I will confirm this trade tomorrow night if I'm going ahead with it or not.

[Ringo]

If Swallow plays and reports are he may I would do Strnadica to Preuss. In AF really no reason to have a loophole except for the few Thursday Games and Cameron may give you that. Getting Preuss in will start your cash generation as well..

Do not mind the Rance to Howe trade.

[Mat0369]

Rance to Howe is a pretty good trade.

[PureSwag]

Rance to Howe is pretty much a lock for me but for the 2nd trade I'm still toying with who to go I will confirm my trades tomorrow after the teams do come out.

[PureSwag]

Final Trades
IN: Howe & McGrath
Out: Swallow & Rance

The Rance to Howe I'm happy with but I'm not really happy with the Swallow to McGrath. The reason I did that was because I needed money to get Howe and that was the only option I had.

Overall Rank: 26122 (Up 30036)

Rd2 Team:

Def: Docharty,Howe, Murphy, Marchbank, Hamton, Otten (Stewart, Hibbard)

Ruc: S.Martin, A.Sandilands (Strnadica, Cameron)
Fwd: Dahlhaus, Caddy, Nankervis, Hoskin-Elliot, Parfitt, Butler (Picket, Eddy)

Rd2 Review:
Much better week then rd1 but there is still room for improvement. Most of my players did very well but I think some of the lower end players like Stewart, McGrath could of done better. Lot of the top end players Dangerfield, Fyfe, the bont did very well. I'm hoping next week I can do even better and push my rank up even more.

Trades
The Two Trades I'm thinking is that I get rid of sandi. You must be thinking, WHAT! Your mad. I did it because Sandi isnt that good of an fantasy player more of an SC player and his breakeven of 79. If he does get above 79 it wont be by much so I was get rid of him now and stay safe, I will do more research and see who to downgrade him to. With the 2nd trade I will upgrade someone to a prem but I haven't really deiced yet. Give me your thoughts and if you have any trade suggestion/

[WhatMate]

Pruess is your answer to the Sandi downgrade especially with Goldstein set to miss...

[PureSwag]

Trade Update

I looked at Presuus and will get him but with the 2nd trade I upgraded Tim Tarnato to Higgins. Higgins is a tough choice like i'm not sure if his going to be a keeper for me. Will he? What do you guys think?

He'll score well enough playing in the midfield. Just need his body to hold up :P

[PureSwag]

Yeah as long as he doesn't get injured and averages around 95, ill keep him.
