overall: 1,463rd (top 20%)
trades: 27

Sheezel + Smith + Petracca + Ashcroft + Xerri + Merrett(c) + Dawson + Macrae + Hustwaite =
Bice + Davidson + TDK + Lindsay + Tsatas + Oliver(DNP) =
not owning Gawn =
getting knocked out of eliminator =

need to bolster my midfield... (an Oliver return would help)
Boxshall looks like a good downgrade target
Gawn must be stopped !!
Holmes and TDK need to lift !!

 

[Bandicoot]

2253 moved me up to 262 but still losing considerable ground to the leaders.

 

[tigs2010]

2203 slid back to 237th

Going to be aggressive. Just not sure there is a downgrade target on bubble. Have gone Davidson to Boxshall as a placeholder for now. Going TDK & cerra up to Dunks and Whit I think.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Finally... a score I can post

See you in about another 3 years

I've gone Davidson to Setterfield, Clark to Sheezel and Moreas to Hustwaite.
I realise it seems silly but I'm even considering bringing LAshcroft back in after having traded him out last week. If so, it would be he instead of Setterfield. LAshcroft will most likely increase in value by $100K over the next three weeks.
If I go this way, I'd still have $375K in bank with the probability of Tsatas to Boxshall next week taking that to $500K.
Problem is that after this week I'll only have 20 trades left and no boosts.

I'm down to 20.

I think byes are a bit easier this year with the 5 of them and only 4 off at a time. Don't think we need 3 per week.

If we do, I'm ****ed and my contingency will be to just delete the app

We'll certainly be able to field at least 18 in each week of the byes. It's just a matter of how many premiums are missing.

 

[GhostofJimJess]

No doubt it will but it was a gutsy move to bring Hustwaite in after 1 game. Has certainly paid off here but history has taught me never to do so until they have been selected for their third game. Camporeale is the perfect example of why you shouldn't jump in too early.
Finished with 2253

Agree entirely. If there's one thing that over 20 years in the same RDT league has taught me it's to hold back until a player is on the bubble ... and NAMED!! Been burnt quite a few times by that little baby.

In fairness to those of us who have Camporeale though, he was in the initial squad so no trade was wasted. He's also been a great loophole captain facilitator since Round 3 onwards.

I was actually burnt big time on the weekend by using ZReid as my emergency, with Travaglia as my loophole. Only for Rossy boy to name Travaglia as a late in, meaning I had to go with Carroll - certainly couldn't depend on TT for any meaningful points. And then, whaddya know, Rossy doesn't even sub the campaigner onto the field, so I could've looped Reid in after all

 

[Tippaz]

leaning towards this:
Davidson -> Boxshall
Lindsay -> Anderson/Serong

don't have the money to turn Tsatas into a premium of note... at least Lindsay nets me someone good
if both Oliver and Tsatas don't play, i'll have to do Tsatas -> Boxshall, and keep both Davidson and Lindsay
best22 would have Cleary, Hustwaite, Boxshall in it, after my preferred trades

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Having a poor season. Still kicking in the eliminator, its only been 2 rounds though!

Trades are tricky this week. Have lots of options I'm contemplating.

Moreas & Davidson to Boxshall & Green.

Then I thought Daniel, Davidson & Lindsay to Josh Daicos

, Green & Boxshall.

Lindsay is the one I'm not sure about trading. And Daicos vs Daniel, not sure if worth it. If it was someone like Whitfield, then I'd be happier with it. Indicision........

 

[Wels Eicke]

I just realised Erasmus is playing tonight. Job security shaky no doubt, but on the bubble and M/F.

Now I'm thinking Davidson & Lindsay to Erasmus & Whitfield.

Or Davidson & Stone to Erasmus & Merrett.

Either way, think I'm bringing Erasmus in tonight.

So much for that thought. Didn't think Erasmus would be sub. Sandy Brock anyone??

 

[Hazey1977]

Argh.... Missed the start of the game while training over here in Belgium and habe old mate Murphy Reid onfield.

Davidson + Bice for Hustewaite and Dunkley (or anyone except Whitfield)?

 

[Bandicoot]

I've gone Davidson to Setterfield, Clark to Sheezel and Moreas to Hustwaite.

As it turned out, I did none of the above.
Thankfully, I kept Clark who finally repaid me for the shit he had been producing.
Moraes has been named in the 23 so I'll give him one more chance. Tsatas will go for Hustwaite instead.
Decided not to bring Lashcroft back. Instead I'm going Bice to Sheezel and Daniel to Green.
Doesn't leave a lot in bank but I'm sure some rooks will present themselves in the next few weeks.

 

[Bandicoot]

Annoyed. I use Brock as my emergency loophole in the backline. Will have to play it straight this week.

I was aggressive last week. Brought Xerri and Petracca in yet scored 29 points less than previous week.
And that was with Gawn as C.

Made your team better in the long run though, assume like me you just had some rookies shit the bed.

 

[Wels Eicke]

I want to be aggressive like you guys, but not sure if I'm being aggressive or stupid.

Davidson, Bice & Daniel to Whitfield, Green & all I can afford Sandy Brock.

Or be sensible and just do Stone & Davidson to Boxshall & Green. Or Lindsay & Davidson to Boxshall & Whitfield.

Really want Whitfield & Green!

Think you probably need to get a better rook than Sandy Brock (although can't say I know anything about him other than hes a KPD)

Can you just do 1 of the GWS guys this week and another next week?

Whit isn't going to get away from us at his price.

Haha, of course I can. But that requires patience.........and I have none!

 

[Wels Eicke]

Bringing Boxshall in a week early not looking good. Needed a downgrade, but going early on a rookie rarely works. Needs to show something in the second half.
