[Hawks 08]

First post! Woohoo.

I got 2020 this week with no Jonathan Brown, Chad Cornes and Matthew Priddis so I am very happy.

I also had dissapointments such as...

- Nick Riewoldt who didn't play most/all of the seconds half
- Brett Burton who didn't play the last quarter
- Nathan J. Brown (forced in due to Cornes injury)
- Cyril Rioli had a below par round
- Stuart Dew (forced to play due to Brown injury)
- Chris Masten (forced to paly due to Priddis injury)
- and more...but I guess I can't complain with the score

Looking to improve and move forward from this round.

Have 220k in the bank.

Looking to grab Joel Corey.

 

[Waite_30]

DT is alright with me, DT is alright...oww yeah!

 

[Jolldo87]

hopefully the lockout ends soon.....

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

SC just up, so hopefully DT isnt far off.

Hoping Symes and Priddis return after the break or hopefully Pfeiffer plays to fill in for Symes and also goes up a bit in cash.

if Symes isn't fit after the break trading him to Milburn would be better than getting rid of Bradshaw.

Thats true but I believe Bradshaw may drop off and Symes will fire but I think your idea might be a better option if Symes is not fit.

Shattered at the moment lost first league game, then logged onto the site to find that I have also dropped over 700 spots in the overall rankings from 697 to 1416. Team has a heap of potential just can't seem to fire at the same time. Oh well get to relax for the next 11 days before resuming the battle.

 

[TFLUA-Tiger]

Lost 100 spots with a score of 1,876.

My overall rank is 2,043.

I'll spend this week pondering how to fit my 4 trades I'd like to do, into just 2 trades.

Dyson, Monfries, Gram and Hill are all ready to be up/downgraded.

sorry Joll... *blush*

 

[Mr.Jingles]

2116...outstanding...gotta love DT..what a week for me....dropped 1200 places from 1865....to 606....team is looking quality and with gram and vince out in the next few weeks, it's only going to get better!!
and the awesome thing is.....4 of my midfield players have a combined selection of 17,000!!!! my midfield is firing and no1 has those players..c'mon!!

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Dropped to 400 and something.
Bloody Jones.

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

I had Bid and Woona as my 2 midfield emergencies with Bird scoring 35 and Woona scoring 97. Only 1 Mid had a 0 with Gablett but they chose Bird instead of Woona to cover his score.

I assumed they would choose the highest score?

 

[the egg]

Got a couple of problems here and i don't know which ones more important to fix...

I have Hodge whose done his hammy, but i have Wonna and Ebert as reserves.

And i have Ellis and Gram who are doing terrible.

OUT: Hodge IN: Swan/Kornes?

or

OUT: Ellis/Gram IN: Milburn?

Wish i never got Gram

Nice going, who've you got? Its great when your unique selections go well for you, unfortunately mine haven't worked out so well this season.

Unfortunately, no. Its in the rules of play - where you select two emergencies in the same position only the lowest one will count.

no they choose the lowest scoring emergency, thus adding to the strategy behind dt!

Or luck.
Should be 1 emeg per section.

Gonna be some big injuries this week.

Hope J Brown is out for 4+ so I have an excuse to trade him


Morton gone this week, made a nice $140,000.

 

[Stormer]

Damnit, droped 42 places

 

[samwise]

328th to 470th but wouldve taken it at start of round considering injuries. stoked with my team even though it got 1892. brown will replace sellar for an increase of at least 50, rioli should improve, symes to replace pfeiffer and hill to johnson who i really wish id done this round! then only proud or pfeiffer will be the loose end. looking for my first 2000 next round. couldnt be many in top 500 who havent scored 2000

 

[phealey]

Currently sitting 3rd and my only real problem is Dyson and my second ruckmen. Would need to make a two way trade to upgrade Dyson, and I'm not sure my cash cows are ready to be traded yet.

 

[KouDogg]

Moved up from rank 206 to 146 .

Things are looking good apart from Ellis, Waters and Mattner .

Dont know what to do with them...?

 

[FandangoDingo]

Yes, it's an excellent strategy to know the rules. I've found that usually helps

 

[wellst]

who is the better buy mcleod or goddard

any suggestions would be appreciated

hey buddy i feel your pain iv got a big casualty ward myself as far as your trade goes goddard mite be better value for money as he has nearly bottomed out but mcleod is also a good option i would also recommend milburn if you dont already have him

 

[SnIcKeRs #3]

1997 for me this week with cornes symes brown all out and volt getting injured the injury list goes on for my team

Brown
Bowden
Cornes
Symes
Lucas
Reilly
Hall

What to do with volt. Going in for scans today and expect 3 - 8 weeks injured.

anything over 5 i think ill trade.

Have 226200 in the bank

Will up grade dyson to corey this week and if volt is out for more then 5 then get Chapman for him. Sick of getting injuries otherwise i would probably go BJ
