The Team That FF Built

[tor01doc]

Goddard / Gibbs / Hanley / Hartlett / Terlich / Staker - Clisby Birchall
Pendles / GAJ / Griffen / Selwood / Cotchin / Priddis / Mundy - Mitchell Hrovat
Cox / Jacobs - Nicholls Mr Bean
Bartel / Walker / Zorko / NicNat / Mayes / SJ - Buddy Bennedy

2 trades and $165200.

Will be getting a fwd donut this week.
Have Jacobs on with E on Nicholls to loophole which worked a treat last week.
C on SJ with V on GAJ? Accept 130 I guess and if falls short -> C to Jelwood?

Suggestions requested - no actually DEMANDED!!

Thanks

PS Should win 4/5 this week with this team's projected score of 2275.

[tor01doc]

Looks like we won four out of five
With a score of two two seven five
Keeping finals hopes alive
In about 4 out of five

[Vinny]

Sweeet !

The projection score was on the money.

Playing Jacobs over Nicholls had a solid two point gain.

Cox is a bit of an issue for everyone but just going to have to sit on it.

[tor01doc]

We've got Birchall, Bartel, Buddy and Hanley and only 2 trades left!!!  :o

And Jacobs.  >:(

Still alive in 4 (maybe 5) leagues with regards finals.

Maybe hold trades this week.

Crouchy.................................missing you.  :-*

[Ringo]

Reckon we trade only if we need to avoid a donut. We will be instrife if an additional forawrd or back pull out.

[GoldDigger]

... and NicNat

[tor01doc]

Thank goodness for Nicholls and Mitchell and Staker.

And to a lesser degree, Hrovat, Terlich, Clisby and Mayes.

[tor01doc]

Pretty average week with CLisby, Staker, Jacobs, Nicholls, Mayes and Pendles (C) all a bit down and Birchall, Terlich, Hrovat, Bartel and NicNat missing.

IN Must win IN OUT IN in the 5 leagues

One trade and $114,800 left.

Expect to be able to field a full side and save that trade.

Crouchy?  :-\

[tor01doc]

Goddard / Shaw / Gibbs / Hartlett / Terlich / Staker - Clisby / Birchall

GAZ / Pendlebury / Selwood / Griffen / JPK / Cotchin / Priddis / Mundy - T Mitch / Hrovat

Cox / Jacobs - Nicholls / MrBean

Walker / Bartel / Zorko the not so magnificent / SJ / Mayes / NicNat - Buddy / Bennedy

Just one trade left and $114,800 to spend.

Made 2 proper finals - 2nd and 7th so I assume people would agree with burning the last trade this week.

Any suggestions welcome.

May I open the bidding with

OUT - NicNat
IN - Rockliff

Leaves $6100 'wasted' so not a bad financial result!

[Ringo]

Sound trade Doc - Rocky in form now but with Black may be back soon so what will superdud Voss do with him Hopefully not play him forward again.

Do not know what you think of this for last trade but how about Hrovat to Wellingham opening up the DPP for a bit more flexibility

Happy either way as Nat may not play again and Wellingham starting to show form with the Eagles. Just concerned with Rocky when Black comes back.

[tor01doc]

Cheeers Ringo,

That works - avoids a donut this week and does give a bit more flex - which with NO trades left will be handy.

We will have 5 players > $400 000 on the bench!  ::)

I will grab Wellingham unless someone objects vehemently.

[tor01doc]

So last week the team won all 5 match ups.

Unfortunately only 2 are 'real' finals. 3 are for 9 - 18 losers.

The team finished 2nd, 7th, 9th, 10th and 11th.

First finals results W W W W W

This week only 7th vs 3rd is active. His rucks are NicNat, Ryder, Rowe, McBean, Nicholls and Cox. Still a chance to survive.

We've got a full team.

[tor01doc]

So LLWWW last week.

Into 1 serious Grand Final and 2 'losers' Grannies.

Overall ranking only 29,258 and playing teams ranked 2201, 2451 and a whopping 78845!

No trades left.

Goddard / Gibbs / Shaw / Birchall / Terlich / Staker - Hartlett, Clisby

GAZ, Pendles, Griffen, Cotchin, JPK, Jelwood, Mundy, Priddis - Titchell, Mayes

Cox, Jacobs - Nicholls, Mr Bean

Walker, Bartel, SJ, Buddy, Zorko, Wellingham - Bennedy NicNat


NB Mayes can swing forward if needed.

Any suggestions welcome but not many options.

In summary - team started in the wrong direction.

[GoldDigger]

For the "trade-offs" made for a collaborative team, 30k overall is a decent result. Well done Doc, and Crouchy! Thanks to all for help and advice, especially Ringo.

[tor01doc]

And thanks to you too GD.

Crouchy must have lost his appeal. Haven't heard from him for a while.

I hear the access to internet is a bit dodgy in Pentridge.
