You can take this with a grain of salt, but I'm a grammar freak/nazi.

" ' " are used to show possession.

Players with a last name of Gibbs, Ottens, Raines etc do not have a " ' " in them.

What you're doing when you add the apostrophe is showing possession.

So when you're talking about Raines (Raine's) your actually talking about some bloke called Raine and his knee injury.

The confusing one on this board is Ottens, as there is a Ottens and Otten.

When you're talking about Ottens' knee injury, when you write it like Otten's, it makes it sound like Andy Otten has a knee injury.

If you want to make a player with a last name of "S" possessive you add the " ' " to the end of the S (different to other names).

So it is:
Gibbs' leg, Ottens' knee, Sandilands' head.

Not:
Gibb's, Otten's, Sandiland's or Ottens's, Gibbs's.

Hope that helps

*waits for someone to pick him up on shit*

do you have ablett?

Beams / Zaharakakakakakakis has much more cash potential than Robinson so you could always wait until next week. Also Robinson is less likely to keep his spot than many of the other midfield cows.

If you wanted to trade today for a midfielder I would get Otten, Dangerfield or Rich before Robinson.

Any opinions appreciated. I am looking to make money and have one trade remaining....

Should I:

a) Trade L. Anthony for M. Robinson
or
b) Trade W. Thompson for Skipworth

I know most of you would say (a), but I'm thinking I can leave Anthony for Zaharakis next wk. Whereas this is the last chance for Skippy.

 

[trix17]

gilbert or hurn?!?

help anyone?

my other trade for the week will be hill to cheney

Dean Cox was talking up Hurn during the preseason.. He said he's had a great preseason and playing some good footy.. Coming off the first couple of matches he seems to be right.
Gilbert scored 130+ in the first round and around 70 odd I think last week - so that's pretty drastic scoring wise (though I'm not sure what Hurn has been scoring).

My problem - I've decided I need to get Houlihan into my team but can't decide who to get rid off - HILL or SPANGHER??

Help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[hess]

it looks like you need more stability in your backline and getting rid of Hill for Hurn looks like a good move. I like Hurn better as he played a bit in the middle and Houlihan has the likes of Stevens and co. coming back which is likely to effect his scoring potential.

Dal Santo is a worry mate. He has not been tagged this year yet. As soon as a team tag him he will not score as freely. You shouldn't trade Dalziell after 1 bad game mate. It would be infinetly wiser if you traded Anthony for Robinson and got yourself a cash cow.

Agree on trading Hill to Hurn/Houlihan, which of those you pick is a judgement call.
Disagree completely on Dal Santo, last year was his worst ever and he still averaged a lazy 100. In every previous year he's averaged 115+ and he very rarely misses games. He is elite in every sense of the word, and early signs indicate he's back to his best.
Dalziell is a speculative pick who may still turn out well or poorly, if you consider Dal Santo as a 100 average player its a sideways trade, but he's top shelf and as close to a sure bet as you can get. Trading Dalziell for Dal Santo IMO is a justified move.

 

[Team Mo']

I'm seriously considering trading out Hodge... Bloody dud.

 

[FBDonkey]

which spud to get rid of?

Harvey said he is gonna persist with Hill, but im not sure how long for given his complete inability to actually get the ball. Spangher will definitely come back into the team, its just a question of when. He will probably have a higher avg score than hill this year.

 

[OneEyedHawk]

B: Fisher, Goddard, Gilbee, Cornes, Malceski, Cheney, Petrenko (Hill & Broughton)
M: Ablett, Judd, Selwood, Foley, Haselby, Rich (Dangerfield & Beams)
F: Harvey, Pavlich, Deledio, Roughead, Higgins, Skipworth, Zielbell (Brown & Walker)
R: Petrie, Tippett (Jacobs, Spencer)

Got $147k in the bank, 1 trade remaining this week.

Givent eh diabolical state of my backline, should I do as another poster suggested and trade Hill > Houlihan??

Or pocket the $147k?

Or trade elsewhere?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Diabolical Hardly

Fisher Goddard Gilbee 3 guns all great (one more than me down back)
Chornes and Malceski on track
Petrenko and Cheney are making excellent $ and handy points.
Broughton will get a run shortly (probably this week) and be OK.

Only weakness is Hill who has been poor but I think they will persist with a bit more this year. I dont think you need to trade him yet. If he misses this week or just plain sucks then you lose nothing and still have him as a $160K asset.

Big picture is that I think your in a pretty good place One Eye. Lots of options for you over the next 3 weeks.

That's what I was thinking as well.. I initially picked Spangher as I thought he'd play more of a running half back/wing position - hence scoring a reasonable SC score considering his price of under $200k..
I'm really turned off Hill at the moment.. He'll probably be a very good footballer in a few years time.. But it seems as though he's allergic to the pill or something.. The only thing that's on my mind is the fact that Harvey will most likely keep playing him..!!
If Spangher plays he'll def outscore Hill.. But I guess that's a massive 'IF'

Would keeping Spangher be the safer option?

Mate.. I'd look at getting rid of one of your rookies in your backline for either Houlihan, Hurn or Gilbert (all around that price range)..

I'm in the same boat as you at the moment with my backline.. And that's the first thing I plan on fixing up - and then upgrading L'burger once his price has increased a bit (which it will).

Good luck and let us know what you end up doing...

 

[Sunday Red]

I am planning to upgrade Leuenberger to McIntosh.

Leuey has a BE of 20, so he will go up slightly but McIntosh has a BE of -51, resulting in a larger increase.

Do you think it's a wise move to upgrade a ruck this early who will go up in value anyway? Cox is my other ruck.

 

[zan5hin]

I've got $540k in the bank with Petrenko on the field and Hill and Raines on the bench. 20 Trades left.

In the forwards I currently have T Walker on the field with Hentschel and M Brown on the bench.

Should I upgrade Hill to McMahon and put him on the field instead of Petrenko and upgrade Hentschel to Steve Johnson

OR

Keep my powder dry on Hill and just upgrade Hentschel to either McMahon or Johnson and which one of those two? Any other options?

Love your colour choices, your trades, not so much.

 

[Spudregus_87]

Right. I'm going to do it.

Boomer OUT N.Krakouer IN
Hasleby OUT G.Ablett IN

Krakouer to make me 100g in the next month
Ablett to keep on keeping on.....

Either that or Boomer to drop 50k and Hasleby (if he maintains his ave) to drop by 5-10g.

I'm leaving myself a tad open, only having Spencer covering for Ottens, and I won't have Cheney or Joseph/Otten as cash cows on my bench til next week. But I'll probably go with Rance and Beams/Zaka by then.

Fingers crossed Boomer doesn't get 200 and Hasleby 150

EDIT: 30 Spartans!! I was convinced and set to go!!!!! lol. You've given me more to ponder over now......I appreciate the detailed response though....

Its far from diabolical, but Petrenko and Cheney are far from assured places in their respective teams. Hill isn't playing well and could get the cut at any stage or play the whole year its anyones guess, whilst Broughton hasn't made the extended bench so far but should be playing soon.
You should be fine playing two rookies on field, but it could turn ugly really quickly. Trading Hill is not neccessarily about his form but the fact that that Houlihan and Hurn will both be out of price range after this week and if you want to buy some back insurance this may be your only chance.

I wouldn't have done it but at least you'll be able to admire the C next to Ablett's name. Good luck with it

 

[m8rix]

Backs: Drummond, Lockyer, Cornes, Bowden, Houli, Tiller, Petrenko (Hill, Suckling)

I had 3 zero scorers in my back line this week; Houli, Tiller and Suckling + Hill had a low 20

I am currently debating over;
1) Tiller > Cheeny + $125k
Add what's in the Bank ($111k) = $236k left

2) Hill > Cheeny + $70k
Add what's in the Bank ($111k) = $181k left

3) No trade, I will have 4 potential zeros this week (Houli, Tiller, Hill, Suckling) but all 4 are fit for this round as far as I know. So run with two back emergencies (Hill, Suckling). and hope that 2 of the four play.

These options mentioned, with the idea in mind of upgrading Houli > Hodge when he dives next week or week after that.

Any thoughts?

I agree with you completely mate........Dal Santo is top shelf and so he should be for 550K. My only point was that he has not had a tag applied to him at all this year. Potentially Goddard moving into the midfield might take the tag off him but you know that the tag will come sooner rather then later and his output will diminish.

i will only agree with you that signs indicate that he is back to his best when he shakes a tag and scores 100+. One Mr Kane Cornes waiting in round 5 will be a nice little test for him. Scores of 58 and 70 against Port last year with Kane Cornes shadowing him.
