The pain of my SC defeat was couteracted by the joy of Carlton’s magnificent 6 goal win over the reigning premiers. It was also somewhat deadened by the sweet taste of the drinks I was being served in the Corporate Box yesterday afternoon.
League updates and photos of the afternoon a little later today.

Loved GAJ yesterday, our blue boys couldn’t stop him. Also gotta mention houla, barlow, ballantyne and Russell for putting out great performances.
The people who I’m going to have a hard look at is JMac, Vince, LeCras. I’m probably gonna trade JMac out for Waters which gets me about 200k and give the others a couple more weeks
got 2075 btw

There two ways of doing this here, ssss. First off you can go for the one trade where i suggest you get in Ellis from the Hawks, I like this guy and now he looks like he’s over his injury from last year, he should perform well. The other option is you burn two trades and downgrade Meds for Rocky and then upgrade the pro for a premium backman, I know Mottsy has a Hard on for Enright.

Yeah Fyfe is this round’s Cinderella so everyone will be trying to get him in their side this week, but I’m looking long term and Rocky’s potential is far superior to Fyfe’s. In the case of the Pro, with Tate out it looks like he is giong to get a more negating role in the back line therefore he won’t be running off he’s man as much.

im getting tired of ziebell. overrated underperformer…I think I’m going to do a double trade this week to get rid of him. I’m thinking of Alex Silvagni OUT Phil Davis IN, then Ziebell OUT and Adam Goodes IN. What do you think? Silvagni is my second bench player, ive made money off him, and im upgrading a mid to a premium. I think its good. then my forward line would read: Chapman, Goodes, J. Brown, Franklin, Higgins, Cloke, Pods and walker and hitchcock for emergencies. Almost complete..

I’m a little gutted this week, thought I was up for a huge week but I had a HEAP of unexpected mis-fires. Sounds like my honeymoon
I’m thinkin Hunt->Davis; Seaby->Sandi. Still leaves Davis and Nason on my bench just means I brings Maguire on field from the pine.
Then my team looks good on paper, but needs to finally fire.
With 13 trades left after that, I’d be at the whim of the soft tissue Gods for the rest of the season, though………..

Even though I lost a game, I scored above my average so I can’t complain too much. Given my easy draw over the next month in both leagues and only 14 trades left, I’m not gonna trade for a while . . . though I really want to get Sandi in my team. Still have S. Stevens ($360,900) sitting there after missing 3 weeks with concussion. No bench coverage in the forward line (T. Walker & Hitchcock were both dropped) and JB looking shaky, I might cop a 0 but should win my matches. Blah,blah,blah. Thanks for listening.

2303 was my score.
Very happy with Gia, Hall, Franklin, Waters and Barlow
And Ablett of course. Silvagni on the field and Maguire off was the only thing that hurt me.
Very tempting to get Phil Davis for Dangerfield. Also tempted to hop on Shannon Byrnes, he has dropped to $366,000, remember last year he got up to almost $550,000. When Geelong are going good, he joins in, I think this week against Richmond at Skilled Stadium he will get his form back.

Gray, Bastinac, Goodwin and Rockcliff were all disappointments. Hurray for Barlow and my backline! Looks like ill be trading Mitchell->Ablett and Gray->Pavlich/Harvey.

personally think the cats should keep pods (definitely) and perhaps hawkins too and drop blake. he gives them nothing and is very soft for a big ruckman. use hawkins in the ruck and perhaps as cover for the forward line but the idea that all 3 talls can play in the forward line at once isnt gonna work IMO.

Gumby is starting to find his feet in the big league and look ummm not bad against the maggies on Sunday, so he looks like he cemented he’s spot for the remainder of year (Barring INJURY of course, crossing fingers) Peterson is coming off the rookie list and not sure if anyone is nearing a return at the Hawks, so it might pay to wait until Thursday/Friday when the teams come out. As for Browny if he’s not injured, I don’t know who is, he couldn’t chase, turn, run, sprint, jump, bend down and even get up when he fell down on Saturday night against the Dees, he’s my only concern this week.

No offense ssss, but the midfield and forward line are pretty shitty. You need a Ablett in your side or a cheap Judd, as for your forward line you should have ROK or Pav at least. Try and put some DPP in each position so you can mix and match them when need be. As for your bench players make sure they get some game time this year.

Caro’s weekend Age article about the circumstances surrounding Waldron’s sacking from the Saints (and his sacking of the staff.) Hutchy had the gaul to suggest the latter sacking was irrelavent in the course of the salary cap reporting and her story had an unfair personal impact on Waldron and his now fiance. You could actually see the hypocracy dribbling from Hutchy’s mouth.

hey guys,
since i have only used 2 trades so far this season i’m thinking of doing a three way trade from this round and next.
i will trade rioli for P.Davis then selwood for Judd, this will give me the chance to upgrade medhurst next round to any premium since i’ll have 639,600 in the bank.
So in the end it will be like trading out Selwood, Medhurst and Rioli for Judd, Davis and either Pavlich,Harvey or Didak as the premium.
ok i’m experimenting a bit here but in the end i think it will pay off and i’d like to catch Judd and Phil Davis before their price rise
i’m only trading out Selwood because hes just not doing enough for his price and his break even this week is like 150 something, so hes going to drop in price even more and as for rioli hes struggling, and medhurst well hes just not consistent and will probably stay around the 60-70 average all year.
after the three trades my team will look like this
Def- Goddard, Hodge, Malceski, Enright, Waters, Hunt, Ladson
Mid- Ablett(C), Judd(VC), Barlow, Swan, NDS, Martin
Ruck- Sandilands, Naitanui
Fwd- Chapman, ROK, JB, (Pavlich, Harvey or Didak), Higgins, Ziebell, P.Davis- (may supstitute Pods in if Davis dosent perform)

I just want to know peoples opinions on my trades for the next couple of weeks
Got $266,900 in the bank
Trading Nason > Hams which gives me $390,000 in the bank
Bastinac > Swan which loses me $250,000
then next week trading Martin > Cunnington which will give me around $240,000 in the bankk
and Ziebell > Didak
Also Ryan Hargrave is due to come back in the next couple of weeks, and with a break even of 157 i want to get on him after he has played a game, so i hope he plays next week because my next 2 weeks are sorted
and then after that i can jump on with
Kennelly in virtually a straight swap or perhaps even a downgrade to Hargrave as he is only going to drop further after playing
Just keen on peoples thoughts
