Crazy, and only a fool such as Jukes would consider such a trade (although he never would have got him in would he?!), but still, they'd be laughing :P

because i have a problematic forward line, little spare cash to upgrade Staker, and a bye this week in the league
i did trade Ablett
straight swap for Watson, looking pretty good so far
planned for him to drop 40k so i'd have a bit extra to upgrade Staker (currently F7), with TMitchell (also missing this week so doesn't lose cash) being traded next week

sitting pretty, but am VERY wary of injuries

as for scores - Heppell Cotchin and Dusty are my three poor scores, with Jobe my only score (so far) above the ton (783/10 C not played)

I actually meant to add that trading Ablett out 3 weeks ago would have been the go, but getting him out this week too would also have been a good move if you're struggling for cash. My dilemma is who to play, with lots of good benchies who seem to always outscore one of the players I've fielded :P

Jack Redden is going to beat Cotchin's score in one half and hes on the bench for me... ::)

If Cotch had played 10 quarters he MAY have reached his predicted score.

He is trying to get there in tackles. :P

I was seriously considering playing Redden in his decent form and playing GWS but generally players don't score the best against GWS and Cotchin in his good form... what a bad decision that was! Haha.

Hanley.

Easily worst round.

Shocker!! :-\

Bluke · August 17, 2013, 10:57:53 PM

Kennedy, Hanley, Heppell, Martin, Ellis.

Whats worse is Hanley and Heppell may miss next week along with Cox. Already have Ibbo sitting on the pine...

Two trades just wont be enough haha

can't believe mick tagged ellis over deledio ... can't script it ... didn't realise he'd be a higher priority to tag then guys like hartlett/hibberd who have run free basically all year

In a purely football sense, it was actually genius. Deledio was free to rack it up on the half back but Ellis is a key link up player for the Tigers. Tagging him out of the game meant the ball never went from the back line to the forward line. As a Richmond fan, it was very frustrating and concerning to watch.

Yep, this is the dilemma. Might be possible to play Grundy in Cox's place if he can perform like he did this week, but yeah I'm in trouble as I traded out Gibbs (he was on the bench) rather than Bartel to bring in Lewis and Mayne (luckily I traded out Kennedy, unluckily I didn't play Bartel!). Still, I reckon I will be able to trade out one of either Hanley or Heppell depending on how bad the injury is, and just upgrade Clisby, and hope they'll be back next week. Playing my other benchie in Staker is a bit too much of a risk. Frustrating, as I have Bartel and Franklin sitting on my forwards bench, so I would have been fine with any injuries there!

This week's TOTW looks BAD too
only 1 def with a ton (Stanley) and no rucks as of yet
byes excepted, normally you've got to hit the ton to get there, but this week... i'm not too sure

actually just looked at the figures, this could be worse than the bye rounds for points scored in TOTW

stew42 · August 18, 2013, 03:39:10 AM

My score:
1619/18
Scores to come: Barlow (C), Mayne, Grimes, Jack
2150 would be beaut :)

AlexIsOnFire · August 18, 2013, 07:41:16 AM

Disasters - Martin, Roughy, Cotchin, Heppell, Hanley, Hartlett (reported), Cox (reported), Heater

Saviours -J Selwood, Stevie J, Bartel, Goddard, Stokes, Watson, S.Selwood, Hibberd

1776 with 2 to come, my ranking of 500 is about to take a hit....😤

Possumo · August 18, 2013, 03:55:24 PM

And you can add Fyfe to that list... :( Seriously, pretty much the entire team smashes it, and he can only manage 76. Last week he was disappointing too, despite playing GWS. Maybe he prefers the big games? Would have traded him out, but everyone was talking up his run home, so I decided to hold. Going to have to get him out this week I reckon, Montagna is probably the consistent player I need to finish off my team.
