    Round 7 Trades

    If I had a DPP R3 then I'd be getting Cox too. I went with a non playing r3 with a lot of Sunday games for maximum loophole benefit. Lesson learned for next year.

    Round 7 Trades

    Has anyone got all of Laird, Rance, and Weitering? Rough luck if so. I was bringing Dusty or Zorko in this week via Dea and Weitering. Now with Laird gone it means I would be playing DBJ, Tippa and Brown all on field. Not sure I like that. May hold off on the fwd upgrade (and see how Beams...

    Pretty sure he's forward only? Cox looks like he could hang around for a while as cover but wouldn't be relying on him for much.

    Injuries/Late outs

    Pendles was apparently touch and go to play at all this week. Glad I didn't bring him in. I honestly don't see him being top 10 from here. Too many have gone ahead of him.

    Round 6 Discussion

    2189 with Goldy, Dea, Kennedy, Weitering, etc on field. Danger captain. I was at the game and in the first qtr he got 2 huge knocks he struggled to get back up from. DE ended at something like 55%. Could've had an absolute monster game. Parker and Rich came in for Fyfe and Lonergan for me this...

    Round 6 trades...... Fyfe to ???

    I'm still considering Lonergan to Rich... I feel like it's somewhat sideways but Rich can average 90 and Lonergan has no hope. Lions have a cracking run after this week. They only play 5 teams that are real finals chances and 4 of them are at the Gabba. Its pretty tempting.

    He's my Weitering... Very last priority upgrade. But he will need to be moved on If this keeps up. I was quietly impressed with 70 given he missed most of the 2nd qtr with his corky, and rested forward for most of the game after that. If it's a role change though, well that's different.

    Copped a knock the the shoulder very early apparently. He just didn't seem anywhere near it tonight. Now watch Max come out with a 180 tomorrow just to rub it in.

    Goldstein. VC. Libba. Corky. At least the weekend has turned to shit by half time in the first game this week, rather than teasing me all the way through to Sunday before falling apart. Crap game to watch + SC players spudding it = hell.

    Round 6 trades...... Fyfe to ???

    That 24% is more likely to be 40% by this week. And it's a lot of the reason I'm bringing him in. Barring injury I see him averaging at least 115 with a drop off from Kennedy and Jack adding to his slice of the pie every week. I'm getting tired of watching him outscore my other mids every week...

    Round 6 trades...... Fyfe to ???

    Had him from the start. With Danger. In years past, it never stopped me getting Pendles and Swan, or JPK and Hanners. This is no different. My Geelong bias may or may not have played a part. Fwiw I think I will end up with Parker too, making my first 5 mids : Gaz, Danger, Selwood, Hanners and...

    Round 6 trades...... Fyfe to ???

    They both had injuries and circumstances against them. Its like saying Gaz wasn't a top 10 scorer last year. But we've all still got him. I'm not going Pendles (yet) because a 130 against Essendon proves nothing. He looks more like averaging 105 than 115 at the moment. If he hits some form I'm...

    Round 6 trades...... Fyfe to ???

    I've been trying to avoid Parker given he is so popular. But not having him just means losing points to everyone who does. Its not a good POD to have if he's outscoring other premos by 15-20 points a week. Strongly doubt he can keep this average up but at 580k I don't think you can go past him...

    Round 6 trades...... Fyfe to ???

    Cats still have a decent draw... Next few weeks : Gold Coast (H), West Coast (H), Adelaide (A), Collingwood (A), Carlton (A), GWS (H) in the next 6... Should score pretty well in most of those.

    Round 6 trades...... Fyfe to ???

    I've got them both. Only thing that saved me from a sub-2000 score this week. Selwood started slow but is coming good.

    Round 6 trades...... Fyfe to ???

    Just sit tight for now I reckon. Your rookies are still all making cash and have low BEs, you don't have any injury or major form issues so I would hold. A lot of forced injury trades to popular players in the first few weeks, and if you've managed to avoid those trades then you're already in...

    Round 6 trades...... Fyfe to ???

    I Think you have to get those other 2 trades done as a priority. You lose points on field with so much cash on the bench in Fyfe but it gives you another week to gauge who needs that spot. I brought Hanners in this week and I'm happy with it. I won't be touching Pendles. I want both Priddis...

    Don't freak too much. I've been hovering around 20k the whole season, had 1996 last week and thought my rank would freefall but only dropped 1500 places. There were a lot of shocking premium scores this week, I doubt many people missed them all.

    If he gets super cheap averaging 85 then that says it all really. I'm happy to pay an extra 50k after he bottoms out if he strings together 3 tons on the trot.

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