Just the one for me. Tom Lee up to Zac Williams and that will be me done, even though I've still got issues that I could fix. Due to my gamble of starting 2 mid price rucks - which didn't work the time I tried it 5 years ago and certainly didn't work this time - and a couple of untimely...

Traded in Sloane this week. Didn't put the VC on him, but very happy to have him in my side

I am starting to lean towards Goldy VC into Viney C. Goldy racked up 200 when he came up against an under strength GWS last year and I can see him doing that v Carlton this week.

I've gone Mitch Brown and Corey Ellis to Darcy MacPherson and Callan Ward. With Hall on my mid bench, I am only 1 upgrade away from a full midfield. My issue, like most others, is having Wells and Barlow on the bench in the fwd line. I am happy enough to carry them both for another week, but...

VC on either Buddy, Hannebery or Danger. C on Goldstein as backup.

I've gone Walla and Kerridge to MacPherson and Ward at the moment. But I am sure that will change a few times over the next few days. Need to workout who I am trading out for Hopper next week as well and factor that in.

My only trade this week is Weitering out, Smith in (via Adams fwd to def, Menadue from mid to fwd). Happy enough to let the other rookies fatten for at least 1 more week. Leaves me with: DEF - Simpson, Docherty, B Smith, Rich, Byrne-Jones, Hartley | Adams, Ruggles (really wish I had gone...

Mid price gamble blows up in my face again. Jared Polec had been horrible in the first 2 weeks. Traded him. Then he comes out and scores 115. Ah well.

Papley would be my no 1 priority. A break even if -150 can't be ignored. Kennedy would be my no 2 priority.

I did 2 stupid things with my starting line up. I went with 'value' in the rucks (T Nicholls and Z Smith) and went with 2 genuine mid pricers (L McDonald and J Polec). Reasons for doing so we're that I went Guns n Rookies last year, ended up in the top 1000 but had such a boring season making...

I've had a first crack at my 2016 side. A couple of blokes that I haven't included but will be keeping an eye on are Dangerous Danny Wells, Trengove, Jaeger, Bastinac, Gore and Jansen I have stayed away from McVeigh down back and also from Fyfe (inj), Pendles (role) and Danger (role) in the...

I am going Wallis to Priddis as my final upgrade, leaving Cripps as M9 for this week. Then considering doing a luxury trade of Cripps to Gray next week, moving Gray to fwd and having Bont as fwd and mid cover.

I drafted him in this week. Bugger v

Have made my way up to a season high ranking of 1,290. Been lucky to dodge a lot of the injuries and to avoid mid pricers who have flopped like Lumumba, Mayes and MacMillan who I was thinking very strongly as starting defenders.

If I was to bring in Steele for Hogan, one of Steele or Lambert would move to the mids when trading out Boston or McKenzie in a few weeks to provide that versatility. Understand the thinking behind McKernan, but with the trades I've got up my sleeve I would look to use those to cover a ruck...

After 3 downgrades prior to Rd 11 (Krakoeur, McIntosh, CEY to Hamling, Pearce, Boston) gave me a war chest of about $700K-$800K, I made 3 upgrades prior to Rd 12 (Brown, Miller, Saad to Houli, Cotchin, Sloane). That left me with a team that needed 1 FWD to have an almost finalised team -...

I've convinced myself into doing 3 trades this week, including bringing in Hamling even though he has the bye. That is a pre-emptive move, hoping that he plays next week, but also to build the bank. CEY, Krakoeur and McIntosh out for Pearce, Hamling and Boston, leaving me with fat wads of...

Vandenberg to Rockliff for just $128K is almost a no brainer. That would leave me with about $240K in the kitty. But I have 2 options then if I want to use 2 trades this week. Stockpiling some cash by going McIntosh to Lever and pocketing the $100K (but also would obviously much prefer to...

Goldy as VC didn't quite work out last night. Step up, Nat Fyfe!

Went the boring, safe option this week of NVB and Newton to McKenzie and Mitchell. NVB was disappointing in only going up $80K, but even moreso for me that he was initially Cockatoo in my side. So 2 trades for basically 0 return. Ah well, can't win em all. Having Mitchell in my mids gives...
