Rd 9 scores and chat

[FBDonkey]

Last week I scored 2423 and this week I come up with 1692. Interesting.

This is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard!! unbelievable

What did fbdonkey score? Perhaps a fairweather poster

wow, hostility. and from a name i've never even seen before!!

if you look i posted my scores last night, then when i got home tonight. I shouldnt have to justify myself to you anyway.

the monday wrap will be back as always tommorow... just might not be too many in the thread.

I imagine a shitload of teams will be bringing him in this wek however.

Yeah, most likely Otten-->Ablett for me this week.

 

[Ingall]

Disagree.

Its called a calculated risk.

His 30K price fall v his 149.

A few teams that have Gary still struggled, as their other positions were affected.

I imagine a shitload of teams will be bringing him in this wek however.

At what cost, counting injries and the like this week.

Think I'll take the 30k drop again this week too.

I still think the decision to trade him out was the right one (for me anyway). I was doing okay with the number of my remaining trades (Ablett out was my 4th trade for the season). With some of the cows taking ages to peak, trading out Ablett was a perfect quick cash injection.

Was ranked 68th before this week but could only manage 1678. 21 players scored under their average, the only one above was Riewoldt with 115 (three points over). Only him and Selwood scored over 100. Unbelievable.

Same.

It was for me also.

Allowed me to bring in JBrown, Buddy & Newman. Plus I have near 250k left. 12 trades left.

It was hard to do but worth it.

Gary will be in my side come finals time.

Same here, still very happy with my decision. I traded him for Sewell who has scored 86, 151 and 145 since I got him. Can't complain with that.

I'll get Ablett back either this week or the week after anyway.

Haha fb you have taken it all out of context i was just having a bit of a play around. If anything i am a fairweather poster lol Ur my bigfooty benchmark seeing as woodyman doesn't contribute as much or as helpful a information as you.

I pulled a 2096. And funnily enough i was 300 odd points behind you before this sound and fell 3 points short of overtaking you this week

i'm looking forward to a friendly rivalry for the rest of this year. Perhaps we could share strategies via pm as i'm sure you know a bit more than you post on here. As do i lol. Good luck

I admit i do lurk here a lot and do not post often, i am not much of a poster...
I do generaly post in FB's monday wrap thread..

Oh and my round sucked..1887. only 4 over 100... horrible.
hoping to stay top 10

 

[mrmatt]

Not much of a poster either but thought I'd add my two-bob's worth to this depressing group hug - averaging 2200+ ... scored 1820. Why? Whhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Haha woody i have definitely played it like a lurker as you say. I don't like to give away much help as it mite make someone make the right decision which in the end is not what we want haha. With 50k on the line its definitely not a +ev move (for all those poker players out there ). But in saying that this forum is very valuable if you intend on doing well. Alot of information and insights to be had. Its great to see how other people are thinking. I like this little community

FB Donkey, PK Le Grand & woodyman.

We might have something for your type (Quality that is) next season.

FB Donkey just keep quiet.

 

[Jimmy's Hot Dogs]

We're open!

And only dropped just out of the top 1000! phew

 

[Skystyler]

likewise. It was a no-brainer for my situation.

Higgins had a reoccurence this week. Who's to say Gaz's wont flare up again? They are notorious for that.

Not to say I would wish that upon him. I want to stay on the park and win the brownlow. Noone has deserved it more.

 

[ed don]

I can't believe this round. Scored 1787, and from reading the last page or so of this thread it sounds like that may be only just below average.

If I can stay in the top 300 I'll be amazed.

 

[Dougy85]

I didn't drop out of the top 100 which is a big surprise. Sitting at 76 currently.

Good to see you didn't drop out of the top 10 woodyman.

 

[Skystyler]

We're open!

And only dropped just out of the top 1000! phew

Oh yes! from 62 to 15. Go Bend Sinister.

 

[Glenno23]

I moved up 68 spots with a score of 1946.. wow!

Into 689th....

I reckon i'm no chance with the oevrall though, just too afr behind. Might make a move at the weekly prize and go crazy!

 

[Biggie]

196th

Fell 73, the exact same amount I went up last week. lol

 

[Glenno23]

Its hilarious looking at the weekly rankings. all the teams are from players ranked awfully low

They have a team full of spuds and yet they get lucky.....

there is a guy averaging 1520 and pulls a 2320!!! Unbelievable!

 

[Athomas]

Went up from 2800 to 1800 with 2010. Very happy with that. My team did really bad this week (I'm sure others did too, but still).

Have a new lock in captain, Leon Davis! Should have captained him this week!

Thinking Walker > Wright/Cornelius and Higgins > ROK. Will see how long Higgins out for if any.

i do pm with a few people, but generally only proven posters on this forum.

With 50k on the line its definitely not a +ev move (for all those poker players out there ).

Im a poker player and i dont really see it as -ev. the chances of actually winning the 50k are so remote and there is so much luck involved that i dont feel that helping people out on here reduces my equity by a significant amount. Generally the level of analysis on here is fairly superficial anyway.

i hear ya.

Dropped to 57th overall. No 1 in the top 50 scored worse than i did this week

 

[Biggie]

Fish & Chips stayed at #1. Has a 300 point lead.

In a good position.

 

[ocat1979]

finally cracked it into the top 1000 with 2054 this week - 989th overall and on the rise

 

[FBDonkey]

Fish & Chips stayed at #1. Has a 300 point lead.

In a good position.

it will be funny when he brings in Ablett (i think his trading strategy looks like he intends to). he will then have 4 geel mids - corey, selwood, bartel, ablett.

 

[ed don]

As I said last week, he looks to have traded Higgins, Ablett and Skipworth already, which may hurt him in the long run if others have been conserving.

I dropped to 500-odd. Depressing.
