Smith and Cox (Bailey and J.Tippett)

[Ringo]

I assume you are looking at Matera to either of these.  Given that Matera is not named I would hold off till next week as the price of Brown (B/e 119) and O'Keefe (B/E 128) will reduce further.  If Brown plus out a 90+ game I would go Brown. If you go this way it would mean using Lynch as cover for Chappy and playing Darling.  So basically the decision is $ v pts.

[Carn]

Thanks for the advice Ringo. Went with Sylvia in the end. More consistent.
(this weeks team in bold)

Thinking of bringing in Enright/Duffield and Hurn for Stanley and Lower.  Then team is set for a while.

R12 Team
Deledio, H.Shaw, Adcock, Goddard, Gibbs, Heppell, Enright
(Hurn, Pedersen, Jacobs)
Swan, Boyd, Selwood, Judd, Montagna, Bartel
(Mzungu, Bewick, Hibberd)

(Bailey and J.Tippett)
Chappy, N.Riewoldt, Franklin, Pavlich, Sylvia, Goodes, Petrie
(Darling, Lynch,  Richardson)

What do you think of this team? Mids look a little weak?

[Ringo]

Team looks solid. Possibly would consider Newman over Hurn but that is a personal choice.  You have the MPP link to forwards. Good team to sit on and upgrade as needed.  Not sure of your cash though.

[Carn]

I hate it when people say there team is 'finished', it's never finished.

Team for R13
Deledio, H.Shaw, Adcock, Goddard, Gibbs, Heppell, Enright

I now have Rioli to come in for Swan/Selwood and another MPP for mid/fwd with I.smith.

What do you think?

[Carn]

How am I looking? I have I.smith covering for selwood,

(Rioli, Lynch, Richardson)

My only problem is my mids r not the very top guys. Thoughts?

[Ringo]

Trades and cash left. I would be looking at possibly getting rid of Bartel or Selwood now for Pendles or Ablet as you will possibly need them out for 2nd week of finals. You also have Enright and Chappy,
Also you have Scotland, Gibbs and Judd to cover for prelim final.  Priority should be strategy now for finals if looking for league and also if going for overall.

I only have 5 trades left so am feeling a bit sick.

If i had looked at my team at the start of the year i would be very happy but my stars have not been kind to me.

I picked:
Boyd over Ablett
Sylvia over ROK
Rioli over Harvey
Adcock over Fisher
Bartel and Tags from the start didn't help
I got Chappy at his peak
I have held Selwood all year.

I am not proud of the above list. Anyone else feeling this pain?

[Carn]

Is my trading season over?  5 left. Not having Abeltt or Pendels is killing me and I am sliding down the rankings.

[Ringo]

I assume you have 3 trades left based on teams at the moment!! How much cash.
Just sit tight You not alone this is my current team and pending no LTI'still finals as I only have 4 trades.
Backs: Delidio, Fisher, Goddard, Gibbs, Adcock, Scarlett, Hibberd, (Lower Stanley, Otten)
Mids: Pendleberry, Ablett, Priddis, Jude Bolton, Cotchin, Swan (Mzungu, Jacobs, Helbig)
Rucks: Cox Ottens (McAuley Tippett)
Forwards: Fyfe, Goodes, Sylvia, Franklin, Petrie, N Roo, Krakouer (Pavlich, Tapscott, Dixon)  and this has been my team since Round 12 when I traded in Ablett.
Still hoping to win League and that is why I am resisting trading as I am joint leader 2nd on % in league so be assured there is still hope for you.
