Help save brad's team

Still undefeated?

yep. nearly lost a couple weeks ago though and even this week was close-ish

up against #4 and #2 for the last 2 rounds, so could still have a loss. would rather lose a league game than the granny. couple years ago in a mate's league I went through undefeated only to lose the granny. exact same thing has happened in DT as well. being a St Kilda supporter has its disadvantages. painful

Ablett -> Rockliff will be my only trade for the week I think

thanks again btw brother :P

No problem, let me know how you go

[Mat0369]

I also threw Bryce Gibbs in there for the hell of it, his numbers over the last month stack up real well, but from now until the end of the season I have given him a 7/13 rating in terms of top line defensive teams/taggers he has to face. If anyone wants it I am happy to send you my spreadsheet.

He would have been a real good point of difference in your side, maybe I should have pulled the trigger  :-X

Then again, you are likely to play a team with Zac Dawson in finals that's how bad the league is

haha yeah there are some shocking teams. the top couple aren't too bad though

[Bill Manspeaker]

alright so I gotta get rid of Hibberd, and can afford anyone so I was thinking getting McVeigh. that will leave me with $64,600 remaining. would McVeigh be the safest bet?

[GoLions]

Probably, although if you still have like another upgrade to go then someone like Birchall could be a better option

[Bill Manspeaker]

true I should probably post the team  :-[


Swallow, Simpson, Hanley, Suckling, Hibberd, Hurn  (Gardiner, Bews)

Pendlebury, JPK, J.Selwood, D.Beams, Fyfe, Rockliff, Murphy, K.Jack  (O'Brien, Acres)

Jacobs, Sandilands  (Brown, Nankervis)

Dangerfield, Gray, D.Martin, Franklin, Wingard, S.Martin  (Ambrose, C.Cameron)

$159,200


I guess the only guy that needs to be upgraded is probably Wingard, and I might need coverage in the mids, or I dunno this hurts my head and I can't wait for the end :P

reckon I'll just get McVeigh and figure the rest out later. only 3 trades left though (2 after Hibberd -> McV)

[GoLions]

Yeah probably get McVeigh then

[Bill Manspeaker]

fuuuuuuuuckin havin another look, Jimmy might be a nice pick. save about 25k and has the Lions at Skilled in round 23...

Jimmy:
Freo @ SS
Carlton @ ES
Hawks @ MCG
Lions @ SS

McVeigh:
Port @ AO
Saints @ SCG
Dogs @ ES
Richmond @ ANZ

McVeigh probably has a little easier run, but Jimmy loves to destroy at SS... god dammit.

which one do you guys think is the safer option?

[Bill Manspeaker]

well could have the first loss for the year... last round...

both have Fyfe, but he has him as captain, and I have Buddy.

not gonna waste a trade though

should still finish on top

look forward to beating him in the grand final ;D

[Bill Manspeaker]

okay in a strange turn of events, I'm actually in for a shot. he's 23 points ahead

ME:
Rockliff CAPTAIN
Wingard
Gray

vs

HIM:
Rockliff
Burgoyne
Gunston
Dahlhaus

in for maybe a comeback win. what do you guys think of my chances?

[Bill Manspeaker]

well... turns out I need 177 points between Wingard and Gray for the win.

a certainty, right? wrong.

half time, Wingard 42, Gray 19

::)

[Mat0369]

Are you in the GF?

[Bill Manspeaker]

yep, we're in the grand final mate. don't have any trades left as I had to burn my final 2 trades last week on injured midfielders, so just have to hope for a full team next week.

having a look at who I'm playing, he still has Fyfe, Beams, Stevie J, and Gary Rohan at F6, so my assumption is he has no trades left

not going to say it's over till it's over though

I will celebrate for the both of us if the team gets up. drinks in your honour.

can you spot me a few bucks though?

look forward to beating him in the grand final ;D

prelim good enough ;D

[Bill Manspeaker]

well turns out I'm gonna struggle to win. Pendles let me down (yes that's right, he doesn't have Pendles) and Roughy smashed it for him. Murphy is out so that's a donut for me.

ahwell bugger it
