My team sucks! Some major passengers, that's for sure. Can't trade my way out of it as I need to keep them in case I get some injuries, which I haven't been lucky with this year - seem to have copped about 8 injuries, all medium to long term ones, hence half of my trades gone already!
Who else is struggling big time?
Not as easy as it looks!

I am going absolutely gash atm. Can't take a trick when it comes to trades - finally bit the bullet and got rid of Dale Thomas and, of course, he plays a blinder. Also picked up Obst this week.

Supercoach. Meh.
My team would defeat anyone on the field, but no-one on paper... just like the opposite of St Kilda.
This is my team as of today:
Defenders: Daniel Bradshaw, Shaun Burgoyne, Roger Hayden, Austin Wonaemirri Matthew Scarlett Scott Thompson (Reserves: Scott Sellwood, Zac Dawson)
Mids: Gary Ablett Jr, James Bartel, Brent Harvey, Brad Sewell, Paul Chapman, Craig Bird (Reserves: Matt Priddis, Shane Valenti)
Rucks: Dean Cox, Matthew Kreuzer (Reserves: Brad Moran, Tristan Cartledge).
Forwards: Lance Franklin, Robert Murphy, Jarryd Roughhead, Cyril Rioli, Brad Johnson, Linsey Thomas, Josh Kennedy (Reserves: Nathan Thompson, Lachlan Hansen).
And I'm sitting 14th on my league:eek:

Sif you're losing with that team! The only way I can see you losing is if you play the weekly winner each week...

I'm actually on top undefeated in my comp, but about to go out backwards in a big way. No doubt I have had a lucky draw thus far - even won one week with about 1,450 points. I play the one other undefeated team next week, also a North supporter.
But I'm in trouble now with tons of injuries - my backline has Chad Cornes, Kennelly, Symes, Jamison, Hansen, L and Obst (put in last week for S Thommo and got some extra cash).
Midfield I have Luke Hodge and Barlow. And have had Gumbleton as a forward reserve all year.
About to bite the bullet and trade Kennelly and Hansen.

We're all doing shit just like our team. This year feels so dull and weird. No enthusiasm what so ever.
Funny thing is that i came from the bottom to currently 4th.

Coming 5th in my league, I believe I beat FilthWizards on the weekend. ;)
I had easily my best week, scored about 2,200 but spewing about Shaun Burgoyne's suspension, just as my team was looking steady.
Woah, I just realised I'm on top of 2 of my 3 SC leagues, including the North one that GR made :D

Well, that's just not the attitude! What you need to be doing is identifying any of your players who have been out of their team, then go to that team's board and start a thread asking the supporters how that particular player is going and when is he going to get a game ... I'm pretty sure that's the etiquette in this situation.

I'm in 3 leagues and are placed as follows:
League 1: 4-1 & 3rd on %
League 2: 3-2 & 7th on %
League 3: 5-0 & 2nd on %
Strange how the same points can give you different outcomes, it is all about timing.

Lol, I made another team just before round 4 commenced and have a pretty mean lineup atm in my 2nd team.
But my first team... I made Obst captain for last week and that kinda backfired a tad

Thats also a sure way to be red-ed out. But IMO if i actually took it seriously I'd be top of the comps. I watch practically every game so I'm well aware of who's playing well & all that but i just cant be bothered with it. On the other hand I'm doing quite well in the Tipping comps. I'm in the top 20 of the BF tipping comp so cant complain there.

I watch most games each round. Yet my team struggles.
Most of the players in my league watch most games. Yet many struggle.
Sheer arrogance! :p

Not a bad trait IMHO.;) Dont you think?
Only if our team had more of it.
