I got knocked outta tha finals last week, and this week i played with 3 players short, but i still managed to beat my opponent by 1550. BTW, the team i played was called 'ThickAir' :D
 
I had:
-Carr get 48
-Cooney 53
-M.Lappin 61
-Hasleby 69
-H.O'brien 51
-N.Lappin 67
-J.Kelly 57
-Tredrea 55

YET, I still scored 2016. Im over the moon as it was a sudden death match of course.
 
Think I scored the second-highest in my league this week, but happened to be playing the only guy to score higher, had a bad run like that all year!!! I fear I am now knocked out :(

I'm still in, for a few hours anyway... :eek:

But how can you still play after getting knocked out? Do ythey still pit you against other teams?


There's still the overall comp to get the highest points for the site and the weekly prizes of course.
 
I had two late withdrawals in Chad Cornes and Simon Black, on top of the fact that I was playing one backman short - meaning that all three of my emergencies (Deledio, Foley, Fevola) have all been counted and possibly conspired to knock me out in straight sets from the finals race.

I'm skirting somewhere around 1775-1800 this week, and I don't think it's gonna be enough to knock over my 8th placed opponent. if it takes 2050 and then injuries to derail my cause, then I'm not going to be at all happy.
 
Gees, the results are up early this round. Quite a low scoring round. In my weaker team, I scored 1867 and moved up 1,600 placed to be ranked 9,264th. I have a 50-point win in the Semi Final.

I have two trades to work with, one of which will be used to replace Nigel Lappin. My PF opponent also has Lappin, so it will be interesting to see what he does (assuming he has a trade left).

My stronger team really struggled and only scored 1694. Thankfully my opponent scored 1607, so I am into a Preliminary Final there too. Went down 400 places to 3032nd overall. Only the one trade left, which I will use to trade Lappin.
 
Yeh the results are in.

I only slipped to 100 which isn't to bad!

Once I trade Nigel Lappin for Braun or Sinclair I will have $110 000 sitting in the bank with no trades left. There goes my plans of upgradeing a player like Cooney!
 
Well if I had played this week I would have beaten my opponent by about 400pts and the person that beat them I would have beaten by around 100pts.


Very disappointing for me to think that if last week I had kept only Deledio and Hunt as emergencies I would have won and next week would be playing off in a Preliminary :(
 
Only 1841 for me this week after 2149 last week. There must be a few tired teams in the top 1000 because I moved up about 100 places to be 1044th. My aim at the start of the year was to win my league and finish in the top 1000 so i'm on track. My prelim opponent only scored 1750 and has N.Lappin so I'm confident of a win.
Good luck to everyone else in their finals campaign!

Well said. I had the same aspirations and am on track as well.
I scored 2011 this week and moved up from 1146 to 747 of 131254 overall :eek:
Only injury concern I have is Brown and I can trade him for, well, anyone except Nigel, Nathan Brown and possibly The Chad :)

Amazed with some of the gun prices at the moment :
Murphy still only 226K
Spider 281K (his cheapest price all year, highest points scorer and 2nd best average behind Hodge)
Fletcher 233K.
Dead set bargains they are right now !
 
I have two trades left and this is what I'm thinking:

OUT: N.Brown IN: Braun
OUT: Fevola IN: Hall

In my other league I'm thinking:

OUT: N.Brown IN: Braun
OUT: Deledio IN: Ricciuto

I'm stuck with Jonathon Brown in both leagues. What do you think of my trade options?
 
Hmm don't know about Ricciuto. I traded him for Cousins last week, he has been average lately except for this weekend. On reflection, I'm spewin about that trade because I've only got 2 left and I have to trade for N. Lappin and I don't know what is going on with S. Black and Edwards???

I would look to get rid of Brown and re-consider your trades. Too much $ on the bench for no return.
I only have 1 trade left myself and my plans of upgrading either Moloney or Matty Lappin have been ditched because at least they are scoring points while Brown is not, so he has to go.

Edwards is not injured as far I know. Every player is entitled to 1 shocker and he just had his on the weekend. I wouldn't hit the panic button just yet. Besides, the Crows play Collingwood at home this week, so his form should return.
 
Round 20 score: 1954
Overall Ranking: 1065 of 131254
League Ranking: 1
Rounds Played: 20
Avg Score/Round: 1854.50
Team Value: $6,404,700
Change in Value: 262,900

Really would love to crack the top 1000 again. 6 trades left... yeh i know - just havent needed to use any in the last 3 weeks - teams constantly scoring 2000+ and all the players are doing ok. Cept Tyson Edwards this week man did he have a shocker in the showdown :(

I expect Francou to get suspended for his headbutt so will need to trade him off - got a little bit of cash saved and will prob get Ricciuto or Harvey. Choice comes down to who they play in round 22 for the grand final i guess. Crows play eagles and saints play lions.... leaning towards Harvey - lions have been killed with injuries.

Yeh but Roo is averaging 82, while Lids is averaging 60 odd. Yze was my starting centre, but he's doing so poorly Deledio has replaced him. What a joke. Anyway great news for me, N.Brown, J.Brown and Green are all expected to play. I can now get rid of Yze and Fevola.

Well, he's out for a week so that might upset a lot of people. Including me.

I got 1904 from 21 players, and with 2 trades left, have to get rid of Francou, M Williams, Goddard and J Brown. Are any of the last 3 playing this week...??
