What are people's thoughts on who's getting named as a sub? Ask because I was very uneasy thursday when I was Seaby on the interchange for Sydney, thinking it's very possible they'd use it to keep the rucks fresh. But then I thought that it doesn't actually make that much sense, and you'd...

606/6 (or 5+C / 5+1 just to eliminate any and all confusion) - Gibbs VC, and not too shabby considerint I had foley playing. Guy I'm against has Gibbs, Murphy (vc), Enright but also Selwood, and is 803/9. Shaping up to be a close one, our teams are quite different, wouldn't be surprised if...

4,400 going in, but I might even reconsider to try and squeeze a little more out. Ideally I'd like to have ~80k available as last year I started sub $1000 and it meant that I couldn't afford a few trades that I really wanted in the first half of the season. Although cash in the bank gets you...

Stanley Goodes, Riewoldt, although if you're feeling lucky I'd squeeze Slyvia in aswell. For mine: Adcock + Higgins vs Veszpremi + Deledio ( + change )

Deus Ex is the shiny gem in that pile (which would keep me entertained for many months btw) I'm willing to get that I'm not the only one that reinstalled my copy after seeing it in your post. You'll laugh, you'll cry, it'll change your life. If you still want more, look up System shock 2 -...

Forgot to mention the fact that yeah, I am trying for a league win predominantly - so that hawthorn factor is even less so. As far as the rookies go - they're going to change around no doubt, and yeah, like everyone else, the team sheets will prompt some changes. Good point with Heppel though...

After playing around with it a bit today - found that filling out the squad feels much easier this year than last - definitely feeling the extra heaviness in the wallet. BACKS: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Duffield, Adcock, Otten, Stanley (Duigan, Hibberd, Puopolo) Pretty happy with the backs...

+1 For this. Make everyone pick 33 players (+1 each position, with more cap), then the 'bench' effectively becomes a pool, in which you can have unlimited players. This is where DP comes into play, I can stick hodgey in the mids for a week to cover ablett's bye with a rookie coming on in the...

1996 with a zero. Didn't cover it because I was confident I'd win my money league match, opponent had 2 zeroes. my Bartel(C) vs his Swan(C) hurt a lot, and it looked like I wasn't going to make it, needed Cox and Pavlich to get 115 between them in a half of footy. If Pav hadn't kicked that...

500/4 with no mids yet. Ship it.

2049 - All of the rookies came to play this week, along with franklin, waters. Also the first week I have extracted maximum points in 7th forward/back vs. bench decisions.

Here are half of some trades I am thinking about coming up: This week -> Masten OUT McEvoy out -> Cox IN Could just sit on it though, and then wait and pick up Swan next week although at this point, with Collingwood's improving midfield, I don't think he will get back to 2009 scoring levels...

How do you raise a car's average? Drive it faster?

1786/20. Today its his Ablett (c) + Enright + Kreuzer vs my Warnock + 426. Both have Carrazzo and Bartel. Looking for just over 2000.

Didn't see a thread to post expected lineups for the coming week against head to head opponents. For those looking at a league win, quite important. Of course can't tell exact lineups or results of trades, but I don't suspect he'll trade this week. As for myself, it'll be Roo -> JB who he has...

Yeah Clark owners should be happy so see him get weeks - I am glad McEvoy got dropped last week, because then he's as good as 194k in the bank toward your ruck of choice. Which is harder to pick than a borken nose at this point - I'm grateful for the extra time to decide

Thinking Hodge or Mitchell. Bartel 3rd string but I reckon he'll do well also.

Going to go ahead and make a bold prediction - I would rate Sandi as an option this week - kind of wish I had locked that in instead of OKeefe now actually.

Mate of mine is taking all punters (well from us mates anyway) on Total scores on players for the year. Currently he wants Duffield vs any player that can only be taken as a defender for 50 bucks. Easy money? I'm thinking of Enright

This. I was looking at 2150 until Hodge, Mitchell, Ladson (although he copped a knock) and Franklin went almost completely missing in the 2nd half.

If you can see that your side will struggle early on to win any matches without trades, I say go for it. I started with a terrible field last year, and make 5 trades in the first 4 rounds to fix up, get the right rookies, etc. Ended up getting several scores of 2100+, and bailing out in the...

Mis-made my point rereading the post. Yep. Think we are generally on the same page here - but bolded is exactly what I mean. The 'straight swap' style trades I think are more risky, and for less potential gain. I know the idea of 'straight swap from rookie/midpricer to fallen premium' is a...

1594 with Hodge, Bartel, Mitchell, Franklin, Ladson to come. 2000 looks good.

pretty sure I'll go masten -> shuey and then Hall -> ROK. People might say a waste, but my reasoning is as follows: Hall was never going to stay, I'm just pulling the pin a bit early. I don't even know if I'll get a lot of price rise out of him. Even if I do, it probably won't be worth the...

How about Todd Goldstein? This guy totally flew under my radar - did he have a bad / non-existent pre season? Seems to score well enough with HMac taking main ruck duties. Haven't seen him play (or any North games tbh) so any info would be appreciated. How solid is his spot in the side...

Pretty sure that Pav -> Brown Goodes -> ROK is waste of 2 trades, as I have no reason to suspect these guys won't deliver good scores for me - perhaps not AS good as Brown/ROK/Mr. Breakout year roughy. All 4 players are probably equally likely to get injured and won't get dropped, so I'm not...

What to do with McEvoy. His breakeven probably now up about 85ish. Do I need to spend the trade now? Or stick with it for a little while and hope he can rack up some better scores / see who the quality rucks this year are? I'm just short on cash to go in 1 trade to Nic Nata. So 2 trades, but...

Like your team a lot. I think you'll do well this year :thumbsu:

Nicholas 'Legendary' Riewoldt (C) 294 Brendon 'Captain of the Backline' Goddard 137 Beau 'What Injury History' Waters 84 Andrew 'Tagging for the Team' Carrazzo 81 Josh 'Heating Up' Kennedy 73 Chris 'It was a good idea at the time' Masten 71 Mitchell 'Should have started Trengove' Banner 48...

Feeling like a bit of a goose right now - I went with Pav and Goodes in FWD instead of Brown and ROK in an attempt to bea bit more unique. Brown I dont know - I can't see him keeping this scoring up, but ROK is definitely the goods and I realy feel like I'll be missing out on a lot of points...
