The Team That FF Built

[tor01doc]

If those 3 trades are used this week, 22 on field and a good score will follow.

Prior to R13 - O'Meara and Caffer out - switch NicNat forward and grab Minson.

Only uses 2 trades, leaves about $156000 for the following week.

Would then have 6 fwds (incl Zorko) / 2 rucks (Jacobs and Minson - Blicavs/Nicholls) / 7 mids and defence as is.

Then need a plan to get 2 - 3 of Gibbs / Shaw / Birchall / Heppell
A final mid like Swan, Watson, Selwood etc

Jacobs might go but may have enough cover if Nicholls keeps it up.

Forwards done too.

OK?

[tor01doc]

And after selection???

OUT Crouch, Gawn and Evans
IN Nicholls, Hrovat and Griffen

Puts 21 plus Hrovat on the field.

Round 13 will need to see O'Meara and Caffer and maybe Kommer go and 22 on field again

For T Mitchell and another couple for someone to decide upon.

[Crouchy182]

Yeah i feel sorry that Crouch hasn't really been that good of a pick this year but i think it is time to move him on.

As for next week i'd like us to grab Birchall while he's nice and cheap, perhaps trade him for Caff via Staker.

Wait and see how our money situation looks for our 3rd trade

[tor01doc]

Righto - calling all Crouchy's!!

Hrovat stuffs it up.

Maybe a new plan is needed.

Crouchy, check your PM.

[GoldDigger]

Dump Terlich for Birchall instead?

Pick up Kmart instead of Hrovat?

Crouch touted as potential replacement for ST - may mean he's not far off more games ...

[tor01doc]

Main concern is for next week.

Could have quite a few out.

Any objections to getting T Mitchell in for Crouch this week to allow a couple more donut saving moves prior to next week?

Nicholls is in for Gawn.

Could get Griffen and Mitchell for Evans and Crouch.

[Crouchy182]

Good Morning everyone i hope the weather is nicer where you are!! it is 8 degrees and pouring down here!

An average week for us saw us net a score of 2030 which got us a weekly ranking of 43203 and an overall of 46004

We managed to win 2/5 league games with the losing games all being under 50 points!!! So close yet so far.

So here is what our current team will look like, i moved the bye players off but ignore the captain selections.



Fire the suggestions away

Not sure of our cash but think we have a reasonable amount

O'Meara to Jelwood

McAffer to Martin

[tor01doc]

We have a whopping $4900 in the kitty.

[Crouchy182]

As some food for thought here guys if we trade out Kommer, Omeara and Macaffer we have 1,041,500 to play with.

A not very creative combo but could work is Hrovat, Birchall via Staker link and Jelwood

[tor01doc]

I second that triple trade Crouchy.

Leaves the team with $18,400 in the kitty and 6 trades.

Defence is complete if you accept Goodes and Vlastuin - Birchall / Hartlett / Goddard / Hanley.

Mids have 8 premiums and 2 serious cash cows in Mitchell and Hrovat.

GAJ / Pendles / Griffen / JPK / Cotchin / Priddis / Selwood / Mundy.

Rucks - NicNat Jacobs - Nicholls Blicavs

Fwds - SJ Walker Buddy Zorko Cox - Staker Mayes and Bennedy - lacking one more.

Will be 22 on field.

Any other suggestions?

I third it and a sound team to sit on for a while with 6 trades. Need a forward upgrade though when cows have fattened, As another POD is it worth looking at Stokes who probably will not be rested, Another option is Tippett in 2 weeks.

[tor01doc]

Thurlow out and Bartel iffy help this team since 3 league opponents have both!

[tor01doc]

Birchall!!!  ::)  >:(  :o  ???  :-\  :'(

But 3/5 opponents have him too and team predicted to win 5/5.

Early days but maybe got away with one for a change.

[Crouchy182]

A really good week for the FF team a round score of 1789 saw us win all 5 league games. This moves us into the top 36k overall and a round ranking in the 12k area.

Here is out starting side pre trades for this week.



It will be very interesting to see how the weeks injuries and selections will effect our team, with clouds over Birchall, Stevie J and Mundy

Thoughts for this week?
