Was in the same boat here but went the other way. Did well on that one, but only just one week.

Cox was included at last minute taking out Jols.
I ****ed with my team so much, that by the lock out I had a team I didn't even like. My guns and rookie strategy became polluted with a host of mid-priced players, all who failed. All the premiums I originally earmarked - Swan, Murphy, ROK to name a few - had blinders while their replacements were only so so. fml.

Loved the rookies I brought in, pity they were on thr bench 
Trent Cotchin (116) over Liam Anthony (73) [up 43]
Adam Goodes (63) over Brad Green (92) at the last minute [down 29]
Ed Curnow (110) over Shaun Atley (39) [up 71]
Thomas Liberatore (73) over Rohan Bewick (51) [up 22]
Cyril Rioli (117) over Lance Franklin (72) [up 45] never considered Franklin.
Overall, up 45 points on my 50 - 50 decisions.
Overall happy with the way things have panned out, gee the Knights pick was inspiring with an 80 (only needed a 50 to 'break even' so a big plus).

Toblerone cheesecake vs blackforest gateau
Really happy with my choice, the texture is just sublime, and you cant go past toblerone, it is just bullet proof!
X-Box vs Nintendo Wii...
Made a huge call on this one and went the Xbox! Early form on Halo reach, Fable 111, FIFA 11 and and Assassin's creed says we can call this one a winner early. Fat lady is already flapping her jacks!

Not sure why people are throwing Selwood in here.
If he misses this week it'll multiply the pain Ed.
EyeInTheSky
Debutant
Ditto and had Duigan on the field instead of Heppell
R.Tarrant over Otten, so far so good 
Enright over Lids
Selwood/Toy over Watson/Heppell
down so far, may still yet pay off.
Goodes over O'Keefe Never really liked Goodes. That's what you get when you don't follow your gut and read too many teams in the "rate my team" page. Again may still well pay off.

Cam Bruce v Enright....
Dawes v Gartlett. Too early to tell, though of course I regret dropping Dawes after his rd 1 performance.
Walker v anyone was originally Jetta). Kid looks good but I don't see him being an SC star.
Mostly my 50/50 calls have all gone badly, what makes it worse is that they were all last minute changes where the players I originally had in their place had great weeks.
