beastly backline.
mids could pay off or be the the 2012 disaster!
good rucks.
nearly the same forwards as me.
not bad zippy

[Zombie2.5]

Ahh zippy, lots of midpricers there i see your only playing 2 rooks(plus old mac)
I rated the defenders pretty good this yr and nice to see a team with no rooks playing.
mids are riissky!! swallow plus 2 midpricers, gaff will be a gun.
Mcintosh and giles is wayy RISKY!!!
nice

brave team, good luck for 2012!
P.S. i made your cheers 199!

[Binga]

I love it, it's beautiful. All of it. Risky but its different! May as well give you the keys now zip!

[Chopps]

How did you fare rd 1 ?

[Andrew]

The Broughton pick just kills all teams... If it was Birchall you'd be laughing! McIntosh needs to lift for this to work, Kreuzer looking like the better mid-priced ruck pick at the present.

[Ziplock]

2021. It wasn't dismal, but it was pretty disappointing.

shaw and broughton really stung me, as did hmac, porps, heppell, golby gaff and swallow.

I think they'll *mostly* be right for next week.

yeah, I really liked the look of kreuzer, but I only had 100 left in the salary cap, and couldn't slide him in. worst case scenario, if hmac and golby are still going pearshaped I'll downgrade one and upgrade the other. No biggie.

[Andrew]

I've got Heppell and he was on 63 at half time before finishing on 75. More than likely just needing match fitness which now he's got. A solid base to build on and Essendon have easy fixtures early. Have faith.

Porpylzia? Turn him into Callinan if possible... Again, he's looking the better mid-priced forward pick at the present and not just based on round 1, it seemed that way in pre-season also.

[Ziplock]

yeah, I'm just going to see I guess.

golby is my more pressing concern tbh :P

[Ziplock]

still not firing, but pushed up the rankings to 20k this round. Made a few sneaky trades as well for this week. Game on- time to fire.

So you traded after round 1..? What'd you do?

[Ziplock]

nup, I didn't trade after round one, the sneaky trades happen this round ;)

[Ziplock]

so after round 2 I made some very... interesting... decisions.

Golby--> Hargrave
Dangerfield---> Cornes

and captained Gaff for round 3 :P

may seem controversial, but at the same time...

we'll see who's laughing :P

I had my reasoning afterall- Golby was underperforming chronically in a position that was not suited to DT (although I can see him carving up for at least this week, unfortunately he had to go :( ), while hargrave is looking potentially like a keeper... at the very least will make some chronic cash.

Dangerfield scored average against two incredibly weak opposition that were both flogged- honestly, with the exception of GWS and Melbourne, at this stage I don't like his odds of tonning up. While Cornes was back in his HB DT slut role, and looks up there with his best.

game on :P

[Ziplock]

so I've done another two trades

shaw --> conca
a swallow--> ward

swallow just doesn't look like stepping it up to the level I thought he would, while ward looks the goods after solid averages while getting flogged. Vagually the same logic for shaw and conca, except shaw was scoring like shower and is injured.

[PowerBug]

Very risky trades there... Conca!?!?! hopefully it pays off for you.
