Amazing how many people traded before rd 2:

Figures are only rough: these are how many extra people are riding the players going into rd 2.

Cheney 29000
Skipworth 22000
Higgins 16000
Robinson 16000
Harding 15000
Rich 12000
Petrenko 12000
Garlett 12000
Jacobs 10000
Ottens 8000
Kreuzer 8000
Judd 7000
Ziebell 6000
Walker 6000
Hurley 4600
Hill 4500
Suban 3700
Jetta 3500
Gibbs 3000
Joseph 3000
Whitecross 2300
Otten 1500
Cook 900
Raines -21000

206,000 trades, and that's only a small handful of players, figures of course would include new teams made.

So many people who traded in Hill, Hurley and a few others may have cause to regret their decision now.
 
Amazing how many people are stupid enough to trade so early.

Edit- Haha, I just realised I basically repeated what you said in your first line.

i'm going to use my 20 trades over the next 10 weeks... i figure if you trade early you get all the bargains and are bound to win:cool:
 
everyone jump on Harding... he is 100& certainty to score 100+ every week

Harding > Chad, Hodge, Fisher and Goddard

2 young boys are going to have massively heavy shoulders this week, Beams/Zaharakis, mind you I may be perched on Zaha next week too :D
 
Cheeny played pretty average this week.

Ive got him already as I picked him up from the start.

I traded Anthony last week to Robinson because Beams wasn't named, and I needed a cow in the mids as beams and ant were both missing. I avoided a zero but I would've anyway if I hadn't traded. (not that i knew that).
 
There was Brennan, than it was Thornton and Osborne and now it is Harding. Im not falling into that trap again when i got Thornton and had to trade him out not much later.
 
Theres 3 rookie backs that are scoring quite well in their game(s). Rance, Cheney and Petrenko. But when choosing which ones to get it comes down to who will stay in their respecitve side for the longest. Petrenko is starting to look set and the crows continue to have good players missing each week. However when Stevens and Symes return will a player like him be forced out? (Bock, Knights and Hentschel) all set to miss games.

Cheney probably has the best job security after a very good 1st game last week and another solid performance this week, whilst playing for the dees you would think that they will almost have to play any youngster with some sort of talent. The dees have some quality players to come in though. Wheatley, Robertson, Grimes, Wona, Bell, Whelan.

Rance scored 73 in round 2 IIRC. He was also praised by a few for his performance and it might be the right time for him to make a spot in the side for himself. The tigers however do have Macmahon, Thursfield, Raines, Cuz to return aswell.

Quinn also produced a 65 and is even cheaper and with him placed ahead of out of form Neagle their must only be good signs.

Im leaning towards Petrenko at the moment he seems to be able to score and has almost found himself a spot in the 22 for now and maybe the next month. I also like Cheney and i might trade Hill and Raines out for Cheney and Petrenko.

Thoughts on getting Skipworth. Missed out not getting him from the start. Have Raines in backline and Hentschel up forward, so am looking at maybe getting Skipworth and Rance. Have Petrenko and Cheney both plaing in the backline and Broughton expected to come in. Raines only a couple of weeks away and may be worth holding on to. Maybe just Hentschel to Ziebell.
 
I jumped on the Beams & Harding bandwagon
1) because Beams was great value (cheap cheap, buy now buy now!) Swift debut on hold..
2) Bock the tit decided to go all Al-Qaeda on us, and get suspended!

Easy decisions though :)

The rest, i already had lol
 
There are several players you could choose who are similar to the way Higgins plays.
It all depends on how well the Bulldogs use him this season.
He has a lot of talent, and works hard, tackles very well. Should be a good pickup come round 6..
