Don't get me wrong, solid scores and I can't be too disappointed...

Still slightly pissed at him though. Had him for a long time now but last 2 weeks it has been frustrating

Last week at 3 quarter time he was on 106. Finished on 112. ::)

This week 74 at half time and full time 111.

When you're on 106 at 3qt surely I can expect 125+ and on 74 at HT you'd think 120+ as well

6 point 4th quarter last week and only 37 point 2nd half this week. Frustrating.

benched Mitchell over Redden as I thought Mitchell would get tagged by Jones and score about 90. Hoping now Redden tons up!

Mr.Craig

Yeah, I hate it when players score above their projected. ::)

I know what you mean though, the old Dustin Martin effect - get your hopes up at HT for an awesome score and then it doesn't happen.

Nails

I'm not spud enough to still have Mitchell ;)

Got rid of him after round 13.

What are you guys using your trades on if you're tossing up playing Mitchell or Redden?  :-\



Mitchell would be a good M10 for me I guess.

^nice midefield, only difference with mine is that i have Cornes instead of Jack, and a spud at M10. Stants will smash it this week btw ;)

To be honest though

I don't get it. What have people been doing with their 44 trades? I've seen too many teams where M7 and M8 are both only still averaging like 99...

chaosAD

You must be ranked top 10 them mate? Your a star!

PowerBug

Yeah good point, everyone should really have about 15 of the starting 22 the same, which was always going to be the case with the 44 trades. Those without top premiums.. i dunno, silly people i guess. I'm missing fwd cover that that'll come next week, will jump on NRoo and move JJK to the bench :D

If everyone was as incredible as you then your ranking would be worse, be glad that most of us can't match your supreme awesomeness.....(at DT). Probably why some don't have quality M9's like you, I've learn't to live with my inferiority.

PowerBug

Are you actually 50th! Wow i had no idea, that's amazing Nails! :D


@hardnut, i'm ranked 7,735 yet have Harbrow, Cornes, Grundy as bench players too. ;) Everyone should have the same teams by now, unless they traded in everyone a week before getting injured, then that's just unlucky. :(

Mitchell would be a good M10 for me I guess.

Started with Redden and keeping him as Brisbane have a pretty good finals draw. Went Mitchell after his bye as I didn't think Barlow would keep up his good form leading into the byes, but ending up getting him anyway. I haven't been sideways trading any of the premiums I started with or traded in. My bench are Hartlett, S. Mitchell, Grundy and Staker

Great mid Nails.
Depends on how many injuries you get and forced sideways trading means you cant get a good team as quickly.
Personally I have gaz, swan, pendles, barlow, rok, stants, cotchin, jelwood.
Not ideal, but when you've had boyd, watson and scooter in there and forced to trade, it becomes harder.

Nails

I've had Boyd, Jobe and Stanton all injured in my mids. Still managed to get that midfield together

Not the point though. Is Montagna getting old and can't run out games? :o
