I am thinking of trading Fev > Chapman / Goodwin. Is anyone still persisting with him? What are your thoughts on this trade? I can get Neon Leon but not sure I want to spend that much money :S
Heater
May 22, 2009 at 1:25 pm
@Hunter – Yep, agree with you on this trade. Fev is a risk at the best of times IMO. Either Chappy or Goodwin are pretty good gets I reckon. Neon is a tad expensive ATM.

I hear the good people at Betfair have some really good bets available. does anyone know where we can find nice blog describing them in attractive detail?

May 22, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Gentleman,
Urgent attention is required from you all. I trying to catch the Grimes Express and need to get a ticket of advise from you all.
My backline is the weakest part of my team. Would like to trade in Grimes for either:
Houlihan (Cash up, but i am a blue and belive he will be back, fingers crossed.)
Suban (Sideways, do not know how long this kid will be there)
Rance (Sideways, may have to play in twos for a week once fit but i would assume he will come back into the side with Richmond’s issues)
Cheney (Loss in Cash, Waiting till final teams to find out if the kid is playing)
Other backmen are:
Goddard
C Cornes
Adcock
Mackie
Raines
Would love to have all your expertise on my weak and sore back.

Yes, there is an e in Krakouer…
Bigstar
May 22, 2009 at 3:01 pm
just did a double trade, so that i would not get a 0 in my back line, but not many trades left. back line is:
Goddard
Lockyer
Dummond
Grimes
Ross > petrenko
Cornes
Gilbee > houlihan
Broughton
SCHOENMAKERS (what is going on with him apart from he is crap)
How man i looking???
Bigstar
May 22, 2009 at 3:04 pm
And who for captain:
Cox v Bartel
ahhhh bizzel!!!!
May 22, 2009 at 3:13 pm
your backline looks very similar to mine quacktastic. i got rid of houlihan today, he’s just not getting a run, you can hold onto him if your loyal but i dont think he’s gonna do your backline justice/money making, money money making super disco…sorry got carried away there.
rance will be back in round 9 they say so i’d hold onto him.
suban and cheney i haven’t heard to much of, if i were you i’d probably look into getting broughton, he’s torn up in the reserves and average around a 70 (SC) for both times he’s played so as soon as the coach pulls he finger out and realises he’s got a decent player you’ll be raking in the dosh.
i’ve jumped onto patty ryder after hill went down for the dons, seeing as he’s getting so much of the ball now. but thats just me, its my first season so i’m still learning the ropes but you can usually find all the info you need right here in the forums.
peace love death metal
trader
May 22, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Trade – Mitch Brown to Side Bum then Hill to Newman (SC)
Backs now
Goddard
Cornes
Drummond
Gilbee
Newman
Grimes
Cheney
Houlihan
Broughton
Replace Cheney for Houlihan when when he plays again

monty, how much is Betfair paying you so they can own your front-page picture story? I think you should tell us, as we are your loyal readers and we are the ones who have to look at the ad as the main story on the site we have loved.

my school was the school with swine flu, st monicas college lol.. but anyway im holding on to houligan for 1 more week then if not named will trade.. picked up mcglynn for walker this week, im shattered broughton was dropepd hes sucha good player and byrnes injury kills me hes a fantastic pick up, this is for sc btw
crazytoma
May 22, 2009 at 5:00 pm
I too share in Pierce (Environment) Brosnan’s displeasure at the fiendish imposter and bad speller alike Pirece!
Being a keen trader I ditched the whore last week. Picking up Stevie J and making him Captain, I managed to a)finally win a game b) beat my eliminator opponent by 2 points, and c)Avoid the whore’s price drop.
This week I am waiting on the pathetic cash cows to stumble around for another match, before welcoming a KEEPER. Bonjour Jimmy!!! We have been apart too long.

Need some advice guys, team looks like this atm:
Backs: Fisher,Goddard, C.Cornes, Drummond, Adcock, Hill, Broughton EMG Cheney and Suban
Mids:Gibbs,J.Selwood ,Kornes, S.Tuck,Rich,Otten EMG Danger and Robinson
Rucks: Cox,Tippett EMG Spencer, Jacobs
Forwards: S.Johnson, Deledio, N.Riewoldt, Pavlich, L.Davis,Higgins,Didak EMG M.Brown and Warren
Thinking of getting rid of Hill and getting Grimes which will get my 65k in the bank.
Im then not sure if i should downgrade M.Brown to 1 of Sidebottom(80k gain) or Ballantaye (104k gain)
or
Danger to sidebottom(68k gain) or Davenport (91k gain)
Should i do both trades or just the Hill to Grimes 1?
If i was to do 2 trade it would leave me will 11 trades left and also about 165k in the bank which means the next week i could go otten to Swan.
Thanks guys

taz
May 22, 2009 at 6:06 pm
i have dawson on my playing list, got him at $87, he’s now up to $306 (SC). would trading him for grimes be good idea for a cash cow or leave it as it is. i have 10 trades left.
I also need a 2nd ruckmen. I have leunberger still to trade, thinking of getting kozitzki. I also have meesen on bench not playing.
So, which i my best option:
1- trade zac-grimes, then leunbrger-kozi 0r
2- meesen-pyke, then leunbrger-kozi
Igie
May 22, 2009 at 6:15 pm
Well with Tuck not playing this week and not losing value these are my trades
Suban -> Grimes as my 7th back completing my backline
Mitch Brown -> Sidebutt
Leaving Tuck -> K.Cornes next week or the week after when he will be thereabouts his BE again.
Great success!

May 23, 2009 at 9:26 am
even though the cats had a couple of big outs, the dogs were missing murphy and the dogs should have won last night. I wonder if the cats just had a poor game or if they are getting caught by the rest of the field a bit. Still the best team btw, so don’t have a go at me for saying this, but i just wonder whether it was just a poor day or not. Mooney was a huge out though.

friends, i fear something grave has happened to this site. no blogs about any matches, and even after a big weekend of footy, the big picture story is an ad for a gambling company, unchanged from last week. perhaps we have been redirected to betfair.com
m0nty, i hope there’s nothing too serious going on and that you’re ok, cause this site is not, and it is serious.
it’s a shame, i was such a fan.
