grimley named can't loophole :mad:
I switched the VC to Danger at the last minute but irrelevant now. BCrouch was my only non-playing player this week so no loopholing :(

Would have been nice to get the 94 from Mills on the field too

What's up with Robbie?
Missus must have saidno to throwing a leg last night.
Having a dirty night, same as he did last week. Difference is he somehow managed to post 80 last week after looking like a 56 most of the way. This week he looked like a 56 all the way to the finish. Glad I steered clear of both Grays who just managed a ton between them!!

I did make a mistake on not bringing DBJ in though. Lonergan to DBJ would have been the right call and I was damn close to doing it too :oops:

I've enjoyed having Robbie since R1 but the last couple of weeks been tough. As for trades sat on my hands and enjoyed all Swan rooks posting good scores.

If I didn't have JJ then this would've been my move. Can't wait to get rid of him! So frustrsting.

Did Papley to DBJ, happy to say I got DBJ i guess. But Joissuusss Gray, Lonergan and Bartel may boot me out of the top 400 :(

Hoping for a massive captain score from Fyfe (or a late change to Pendles as I think he could have a big game).

To make you feel good about being close to making the lonergan to dbj call just thought i would let you know that i did Lowrider. Then used the cash to turn Papley into Dahlhaus so at the moment I'm as happy as a pig in the proverbial. Only mistake was dbj as the E and no way to get him on the ground. Happy with the result at the moment, time will tell. The other thing i wanted to have a mini vent about somewhere is the fact that i have always been GnR's only man and this year i deviated slightly with lonergan and crouch i suppose although he was out injured last year. Never again. Guns and rooks only for me again going forward. Yeah you might miss that 1 midpricer who delivers a breakout year and was so obvious to everyone - but you will also miss the 3-4 crabs who instead of breaking out seem to space out and return you a lower avg score than the good rookies and tie up 200k better used elsewhere while also making you use a trade to upgrade / downgrade the bloke you thought was a keeper. Anyway - thanks for Dbj and dahlhaus lonergan because thats all you gave me this year (but im good with it after last night)

Yep I think alot of us got caught up in the mid price madness this year.
Although i didn't select Crouch or Lonergan, i'm kind of kicking myself for selecting the $200k rooks. They have been slow burners Weitering probably the only exception next season will be definatley be back to the true G'n'R set-up again.

Stick a fork in me. I'm done. Haven't got the captain choice anywhere near right once so far this year. Permacaptain is a thing of the past. 120+ loophole rule is back.

Even a 10k ranking looks a long way off from here.

I think there will be a few of us with Fyfe C. But i hear ya Steve, most things that could happen have happened.
If i can claw my way into the top 10k from here i will count that as a win.

Go Dees

If it wasn't for Grimley being named I would have loopholed Danger who was VC. Cost me 87 points :(

Fyfe didn't look good either. Where they'd iced it could only be a fibula injury which might put him out for 6 weeks. Might be good timing if Pendles hits some form tomorrow, otherwise it might be Hanners to come in if Fyfe is out.

Crazy I was so close of upping Barlow to Fyfe, just imagining how dejected I'd be if I'd gone through with it.

Feel ya

Feel your pain. Fyfe as captain + traded Barlow to Hall... I'm done.
Wow that's stiff.


Word is he's redone the fibula and they're saying 2-3 months.
