And so the competition loses a few more teams. Which means we’ve probably lost a few more readers as well. Bugger.
Don’t you wish they ran this thing year round? Or that there was something equally good to do in the off-season? Ah that’s right there is…… horse racing!
But I digress. You’ve got 2 weeks to go. I’m guessing you’ve got precious few, if any, trades left too.
Will you be making changes this week and if so, who are you thinking about?

Buddy > Dangerfield for my last trade?

Well I think they have Melbourne this week, thats why I’m considering getting Scott Thompson. As for that one, I did that exact same trade last week- Dangermouse scored 187 on debut! Followed by 134 this week. He’s had such a great season, hasnt he?! I mean.. I just didn’t want the donut on my FWD line. Who knows what’s going on with buddy. I expect him to play if there’s nothing ‘suss’ going on. I reckon they were just resting him on the weekend, after they all learnt the hard way rushing him back Vs GWS. Surely they would want game time into him leading up the finals??

I’d sacrifice him in my Supercoach Grand Final to keep him out of the clash with West Coast.

GG I still think something is really Suss on Buddy. 6 Weeks now for a Hamstring Strain.
Even if he had a cold you would still play him against GCS give him some game time and Sub him.
Higgins goes down like a bag of Sh%t tears his and not sure if he played but was named after 3 weeks.
Not lending into the “So Called” drug rumour, but reckon there is something more to Buddy’s Injury than we knew.
Dunstall admit he will play, Clarko, yes but he did say he has been saying it for 2-3 weeks now??? how confusing is that you reckoned the coach would know if he is right or not.

Clarko has already screwed up once playing Bud against GWS. He won’t let it happen twice so it was always going to drag out.
Everyone loves the rumour mill, especially with the tall poppies, but the way I read out of this one (as hard as it can be through one eye) is that they are being extremely cautious and he probably tweaked it sometime over the past month.

I’ve got one trade left for an injury or a sideways swap but no plans to use it this week. Tough game vs Don Cottagers but really happy with my team so i think i’ll stick with the current group.
* Please play Buddy. Please.
* Two of my Richmond boys in Martin and Maric are slightly tempting to move on as a sideways trade but with Essendon and Port to finish i’ll back ‘em in.
* Will keep GAJ as skipper and Beamsy as VC
* Just can’t get Sam Shaw and Brian Lake right as my D7/D8. Whoever’s on the bench tends to score a ton.
* Plan is to use my final trade in a sideways swap in the final week to snare a Crow (vs GC) or a North player (vs GWS).
There you go Don ….. my cards on the table. Yours??

Haha, that really is all of the cards.
*Obviously, I hope Buddy doesn’t play again, while I haven’t been stoked with Goodes’ output, I’m still glad that I traded Buddy the week that he was injured.
*I don’t think that I’ll change from Gary as captain as well, even had the same VC as you last week
*I have a similar issue with you as D7/D8, but you can add in D9 for me. I had Yarran and S Shaw on the bench (both 100′s) and Lake on the park this week. Who knows how it will go?
* Unlike your faith with the Richmond players, I’m thinking that I will move Dusty on as my final trade this week. Either Zorko or Dusty will go for Sandilands this week I think
Actually interested in people’s opinion’s on that. Who would you rather keep:
T/U Zorko (vs Western Bulldogs) or
T/D Martin (vs Essendon)
*They both play Port Adelaide
Well, don’t think that there will be many surprises now, RB!

Got the inside word RooBloke – Buddy will not play this week. Recommend cashing up and trading him for a Magpie, perhaps Krakour or Ball.

Took a few chances and now I’m through to 5 prelims with 3 trades left and $75k. Pretty happy with my side, not sure who to trade
Del, H Shaw, Godd, Waters, Carr, Birch, Lake (S Shaw & Ellis)
Abb, Pend, Sel, Boyd, Pridd, NDS (Gibson & Miles)
Nic Nat, Giles (Orren & T Camp)
Beams, Frk, Danger, Side, Lewis, Goodes, Martin (Pfeiffer, Smedts)
I’m leaning towards cashing in Gibson at $408k and using this cash to make a couple of upgrades. But where?
Thumbs up – Lake to Scotland
Thumbs down – Something else

I think it is safe to say that Buddys chances are all well and truly used up. I for one will be trading him out this week! Plenty of options available…
Don’t be surprised if he does an injury in the warm up, or if he does happen to play, he will get subbed out at half time.
I have been patient for way tooooooo long!

Although slightly relieved, as I am still going in the finals more nervous about team selection, knowing resting, injuries, returns could kill my side.

Never sure where to put this, but here seems a good a place as any.what players are going to be first picked next year? I’m thinking T.Cloke would have to high on everyone list.should be as cheap add chips next year and surely couldn’t have the nightmare year he’s had this year.Martin is another along with Stanton, these guys have the summer to sort out how they can get better, what do you guys think?

hey guys ive got 2 trades and 243k in the bank. thinking of using both trades this week to try and ensure i make the GF. im the only one left with any trades.
B: Lids, Birch, Hanley, Lake, Dempsey, R Shaw, S Shaw (ellis, darley)
M: GAJ, JPK, Joelwood, Priddis, Murphy, Pendles (masten, pfiffer)
R: Maric, Hale (Big O, redden)
F: Beams, Pav, Dangers, Sidebum, Martin, Zorko, Porps (smedts, elliot)
everyone in my league has lake so i will leave him. thinking of trading R Shaw > Goddard or Waters. everyone has Goddard so im thinking that is the safe play.
also think i will upgrade porps to ROK, or Stevie J
If porps is named this week then i will make 2 backline upgrades, seeing as porps will finish with 2 easy teams and should score well.
any other suggestions would be great.
T/U Goddard
T/D Waters
cheers
