The Accumulators

First time in a long time I've been absolutely stoked with what we've done up top in the draft. Bloody fantastic outcome.

Anyone who finished top 10/100 heard from them yet? I haven't heard a thing about the top 10 prize (or hat) even though the ts & cs say they'll notify me within 2 days of the judging date (which was a week ago)

Ended up 10th, 174 points off the pace. Sliding doors moment - when I traded Roberts out for Hore in round 7, had I gone to Zarlie instead, Zarlie outscored Hore from that moment on by 182 points. Roberts outscored Hore by 90. That, along with Sheerin to Koenen last week (then Koenen back to...

Positives: Sheerin scored two less than Koenen, which is exactly the same as McDonald scored less than Anderson, which is the trade I would have done if I kept Koenen. So same result either way. Both trades are bad

Trading out Koenen I’m a moron

Fair, and Anderson isn’t a huge tackler. Not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing v the dees. Her record against them isn’t great. If I reverse the Anderson trade I can turn Koenen for heads into Koenen for Sheerin or emonsen, that’s the only other factor

Reverse Anderson for Amy McDonald or Koenen for Heads to make space for a zero to take Garner’s VC

Can’t shake the feeling that turbo could be a LW if Freo can’t make finals by the last game of the round

Reckon I'll do this Rowbottom to Bowers Anderson to McDonald Koenen to Heads VC on Garner, and if she serves up something incredible, I reverse the Anderson/McDonald trade and instead trade out Huntington or Vale for a zero and run the gauntlet on Anderson. If I then trade out Huntington, can...

Gut feel too is that with Hatchy out, the Eagles will either send someone or 'team tag' Noffy. Not sure what that means for the scoring of others around her. But perhaps avoiding her as captain might be a smart play? I dunno. Feel like I'm gonna back Nina in. 3 games at GMHBA this year have...

Not a bad shout with how steady she's been. I don't think she'll put up a score I'd take, but her form makes her not too bad. I think I'm just trying to hold top 10 here though, so not being able to go Garner into Noffy exposes me if Garner goes off, or if Garner sucks and everyone goes Noffy...

This week just generally feels like I'm going to pay so hard for all of the aggression in previous weeks and slip out of the top 10. Rowbottom a forced trade. Tarni Evans, Ally Anderson, Breann Moody, Kate Hore (all of whom I'm guessing are popular trades out) probably not in the gun for me...

Things I didn't expect: not having a loophole option this week unless I trade for it. Rowbottom as a VC first game of the round: injured Biedenweg-Webster: First game + selected to play Huntington: Selected to play Borg: 2nd game of the round Tripodi: 2nd game of the round Vale: Last game of...

Down to 5th thanks to the Sheerin -> Koenen masterstroke and going for Anderson over Bowers in the midfield. Moving on Molloy for Frederick instead of Morrison a miss too, and now stuck with Morrison this week. Surprised she sucked so much - especially with the CBAs still there. Very odd...
