Hi all,

Looking for some advice currently have 4 trades left and $68k as have already gone Burgoyne - Mitchell this week.

Still need to upgrade TEX any ideas to grab some cash this week for an upgrade next week or should I sit tight? All suggestions welcome :)

Cheers

That's a bloody sensational team with 4 trades left. Wouldn't worry about Tex, I'd sit tight this week and then upgrade Gunston to Gray the week after and sit pretty with your 3 trades. Tex is only your F7 when Martin swings back, good enough for cover.

Incidentally, what is your rank?

Thanks just outside top 2000 had a slow start to the year but things have gone pretty smoothly since then! Yeah gunston to gray was one of the possibilities i was looking out. Like the sound of that :)

I agree with Jiska, that's an awesome team with heaps of flexibility.

Great work.

In anticipation of langdon being dropped this week I am in a real quandary.
Currently sitting 8th in my league (2nd on points) in a 50/50 tussle this week with my mate sitting 3rd.
He's copped a sandi donut where I've been able to cover with martin... that sandi donut is basically the difference between us atm.

Do I:
A. Sure up the win this week, sewing up a finals birth by spending 150k to go langdon to smitch. This means no money to upgrade sam lloyd in a few weeks to best available mid circa 460k.

Or
B. Pray for a win this week, and/or potentially miss finals, cop a langdon donut and straight swap suckling to smitch. This leaves 160k to upgrade sam lloyd off the fwd bench and make a big difference come finals time.

Classic case of spending all my petrol tickets getting to finals, then out without firing a shot.... or missing finals entirely and kicking ass from the sidelines.

Is it a cash league?

If you don't make finals, not a hell of a lot of point having a great team.

obviously under normal circumstances heater is onfield for langdon, and martin is f6 in place of lloyd.

as it stands currently 4 trades and 162k.
predicted scores currently have me winning this week by 50 points (2398 v 2348)... that includes a predicted 51 by langdon!
Doesn't get much closer to call.

I am fully expecting langdon to miss sunday... i think it's going to come down to how well or poorly lloyd and martin play before sat night.
if they exceed predictions i'm gonna go suckling to mitchell.

i think

4 trades & $286k, playing for league wins (1st in work one, 2nd in friends one).

Thinking Taylor -> Rocky and hold the final 3 trades for finals. And maybe upgrade Swan/Wingard during finals.

Doesn't look like much has changed in 11 days!

Still looking at Taylor -> Rocky & Swan -> S. Mitchell at around 4pm tomorrow. It'll leave me with $55k and 2 trades.

3 trades left, Jaensch > Mitchell or hold?
Backs are McVeigh, Bartel, Simpson, Swallow, Hanley, Jaensch (Litherland, Bews)
 
Not really caring about my ranking anymore ( rank 1682) as I don't rate my chance of cracking the top 1000 this year so it's all about league wins (sitting top of my main league)

3 trades left, thoughts on what I should do???
I'm thinking of just following the crowd this week and trading suckers - smitch and then sitting on my last 2 until sc finals week 1

I could kiss alan toovey right on his filthy, toothless, collingwood mouth.

Looks like langdon beat the westpac centre pot plant at the selection table.

Matt Suckling... ive watched you skirt around packs for the last time.
Sammy Mitchell, welcome aboard.
