is it a waste of a trade to sideways this gimp out of my side. pre-season gamble that just hasn't paid off. i'm sure i'll be happier losing a trade than watching him spud it up next week.

thanks for your constructive and valid advice.
every year you have to pick somebody that you jhave a feeling is going to step up. my feeling was wrong.

Firstly, good on you for trying a unique; it hasn't worked out but hey, its just a game and its meant to be fun.

At roughly 310k plus whatever you have in the bank you'll be able to find a very decent premium-ish player.

who else is in your backline?

Hey, I have astbury :)

If it makes you feel better, I gambled with Gamble and have been stupid enough to play him on the field for two weeks in a row.

sledgey7 · April 04, 2011, 12:15:08 AM

at least gamble was cheap. so are you going to stick with astbury elephants?

If it makes you feel any better I had Krakourer on ground this week, he subbed and scored 48 points in 1 quarter. Rookies are very hard to pick. Once you make the choice wait until at least round 3 is over. As forJohnson of Freo I personally think he is a keeper. He went up against the Cats whom are extremely strong even without GAJ. Was a tough game this week forJohnson and I personally think he will learn and pull something from it. DO NOT TRADE.

I so nearly had Johnson but went for Everitt instead, I know a masterstroke lol. I would persist with him. Everitt warmed the pine this week for me and I put Stanley on the field and got a few more points. I'd give him a few more weeks at least.

a straight swap for chris dawes seems like like it would give me a lot more points over the course of the season and also a few $ in the bank.
I keep telling myself 'it's just one trade'.......

he must be back on the drugs ... do it! ;)

Dawes is the only option in my mind. Think he will become a premier power forward this year avg 90+

Get on early before his big price rise next week.
