Carn's 2013 team

[Ringo]

Not sure whether this will work for you as not sure of current cash or trades

What about Jacobs to Gorringe or Grimley
McCaffer to Goldstein via Rowe.

Hopefully may give you a little cash to upgrade Mundy or Priddis. If Trades allow and more cash is needed I would look at Rowe to McBean or Laird to Oxley no real problem with having dead at D10 or R4 at this stage of season. Oxley will give you DPP to Staker.

[Carn]

Thanks for the idea ringo.

I have 9 trades at the start of this week and 50k cash.
The oxley idea is a good one.

Goddard Hartlett Heppel Birchall Goodes Vlas (Oxley, Thurlow)
Ablett Pendles Watson Swan JPK Griffen Mundy Priddis (Mitchell, Martin)
Goldstien Cox (Nicholls, Rowe)
NicNat Buddy Bartel S.Johnson Rocky JJK (Mcaffer, Staker)

would leave me with 7trade and 100k for a:
JJK>martin or
Goodes/vlas > Gibbs or
Priddis >danger
trade next week.

This trade also gives me 19 on field this week by swinging staker to the backline. Bonus! Plus I get to keep Mcaff at F7.

[Carn]

Thinking this week for R14:
Vlas > Gibbs
Priddis > Selwood

Goddard Gibbs Heppel Birchall Hartlett Goodes (Staker, Thurlow)
Ablett Pendles Watson Swan JPK Griffen Selwood Mundy (Mitchell, Martin)
Goldstien Cox (Nicholls, Rowe)
NicNat Bartel S.Johnson Rocky JJK Buddy (Mcaffer,Oxley)

What do you think? leaves me with 5 trades.

[Vinny]

Team looks very nice !

Those trades look solid to me and 5 trades should do the job.

Stevie J is out so you will have to play Macaffer or Staker for two weeks and maybe use the loophole where you can :)

Goodes is not certain to play so you may have to play both Macaffer and Staker but sit tight and wait for teams haha.


Again, well done on the team mate. :)

[Ringo]

Nice Team there Carn and can afford to sit on it for a while.

No real need to trade with the bench cover you have unless you need to win League matches to remain in Top 8.

[Carn]

Thanks guys.

Birch out so might have to be:
Birch > Gibbs
Priddis > Selwood

Will have to wait for teams.

[Carn]

OK guys final team until finals:

Goddard Gibbs Heppel Hartlett Goodes Vlas (Staker, Clisby)
Ablett Pendles Swan Watson Griffen Danger JPK Selwood (Mitchell, Martin)
Goldstien Cox (Nicholls, Rowe)
NicNat Bartel S.Johnson Rocky JJK Buddy (Mcaffer,Oxley)

Leaves me with the gun midfield but the risk of Goodes and vlas at D5 & D7. 
The safer option would be vlas to hanley and no mundy>danger but I am 600 rank and need to roll the dice somewhere.

[Vinny]

Wow that is one of hell of a midfield mate !

Overall a nice team too. :) How many trades left ?

[Carn]

well if i do the above only 3 trades left.
Probably not enough for the rest of the year. Would need a lot of luck.

[Vinny]

In that case maybe just hold those trades until later in the season.

Trades are gold !

[Carn]

Yeah your right its just tempting to just pimp those last premos:

So might be better to roll with:
Goddard Gibbs Heppel Hartlett Goodes Vlas (Staker, Thurlow)
Ablett Pendles Swan Watson Mundy Griffen JPK Selwood (Mitchell, Martin)
Goldstien Cox (Nicholls, Rowe)
NicNat Bartel S.Johnson Rocky JJK Buddy (Mcaffer,Oxley)

...and just keep my 5 trades. Still temped to go Vlas > Hanley. Worth it?

[Vinny]

I reckon Vlas to Hanley is worth it ! Afterwards your team is pretty solid for now. :)

[Carn]

rank 607
4 trades

Current team
Goddard Gibbs Heppel Hartlett Hanley Goodes (Staker, Thurlow)
Ablett Pendles Swan Watson Mundy Griffen JPK Selwood (Mitchell, Martin)
Goldstien Cox (Nicholls, Rowe)
NicNat Bartel S.Johnson Rocky JJK Buddy (Mcaffer,Oxley)

If I told you I was going for highest rank would you trade this week?

[Vinny]

Nope ! Team looks good mate and you can loophole in pretty much every line to get the best score possibly.

Should come home strong maybe just keep an eye out on NicNat and Buddy as you probably know.

[Carn]

Last 2 trades?

Mundy>Beams
Nicholls> Rioli

'Would leave me with:
Goddard Gibbs Heppel Hartlett H.Shaw Staker (Hanley, Thurlow)
Ablett Pendles Swan Beams Watson Griffen JPK Selwood (Mitchell, Martin)
Goldstien Cox (Mcbean, Rowe)
Bartel S.Johnson Rocky JJK Buddy Rioli (NicNat, Oxley)

Will Nicnat, Watson or Nicholls play again?
