This game blows.

I'm heavily regretting upgrading Simmonds to Sandilands at the cost of 2 trades.

Upgrading Palmer to Kirk last week was also dumbass.

Only three trades left.

Downgraded Burton to a rookie (Ross) but haven't upgraded Morton.

Cornes out.

Porpz, Gazza, Cox are under clouds for the rest of the season.

I'm thinking Cornes to Birchall and then just playing Morton or Tippet or Ross and praying Porpz comes back.

Then upgrading Morton to Browndog during the finals.

Supercoach GRIM REAPER!!!!!
I'm feeling the pain. :(

1 trade left and the following injuries -

C.Cornes - Gone for season

Palmer - Could also be gone for season

Porpliza - Dodgey shoulder, no guarantee of coming back and even if he does probably wont be the same.

O'Keefe - Could be out this week due to ankle

B.Johnson - Ditto

Cox - Could do a C.Cornes, pull the pin and go in for end of season surgery on his foot.


I think I'll hold onto my trade for as long as I can, even into the finals. I have Lower (port) and Womaeamerri on the defense bench so plenty of cover there for Chad. My midfield bench is bare now with Palmer out and Browne dropped and my forward line could be in all sorts this week with Porps already missing and Valenti on the ground covering for him and then O'keefe and Johnson could both miss this week too. Only have Tippet left to come off the bench and replace one of them.

This aint good. Lucky I'm playing two easybeats in the last two weeks of the season before finals. :D:thumbsu:

Add to your list of woes the fact that you cursed my superstar Kirk this week with the Spartan Hex. Hence I lost my league match since I went in heavily undermanned.

Horror couple of week with injury! I finished my team 2 weeks ago with four trades in hand i thought that would be more than enough to cover injury. Two week later.....
Out, Out and....Out:
Porp
Burton
Cornes

Still have my four trades, including the cash i have left over I have 1,294,200 to spend on three players at an avg of 431,400 per player.
Currently looking at:

PS: if you could help me out and pick what you think would be the best options? pick one of the cheep players (lucas/CAJohnson) then any two others. Cheers

Down back looking at - (need 1)

Drummond
Bock
Bradshaw
Chris A Johnson (cheap)

Up Foward looking at - (need 2)

Lucas (cheap)
Aka
Bock
Bradshaw
Murphy
Fev
BJ

Cox will see out the year if his injury stays as it is.

Only reason he will miss is if he does something more serious.

Plently of others to worry about before Cox
My heart certainly missed about 3 beats when he kicked Charman's leg instead of the ball this week!

I don't doubt he'll play it out, but my concern is that it won't take much to be that bit more serious. :(

Just like in White Men Can't Jump...I underestimated "The Chump"
Check this tale of woe out...
I had:
Shaw 40
Stevens 46
Mitchell 79
Kornes 65
Priddis 71
Kirk (C) 60
Franklin 59
McKinley 27
Ross 50.

Also played one short in backline as King is out of favour.

He had:
Firrito 102
Clarke 103
Motlop 112
OKeefe 199 (Who I was going to bring in this week after going down in value again argh).

Oh, I just can't look at it any more. The MOST embarrassing thing is he had Brett Jones as captain (0) and Shaw (40) as VC and I STILL lost. Shame shame shame.

This week I play the guy who got the weekly prize in the perthnow comp who outscored me by over 600 last week. Um, I'm hoping for a Stephen Bradbury type performance this week.

:eek:

Spartan: What are you, the black Zorro?

Apparently Ablett is ruled out again this week. The plot thickens *giggle*.

I'm so tempted to hop into their new thread and let them know how good that is for my supercoach team. I'll try to hold off, they're very touchy with us Freo supporters those handbaggers.

This is my team at the moment.. I am just going for my League. I am currently sitting on top of the ladder.
But i am really unsure of what trades to make.

4 trades left. $6,600 in the bank.

I am considering upgrading Wona, Ellis, Jetta and Rioli but just need some advice on what move to make next. Anyone got any ideas??
thanks in advance! ;)

To have Wona, Ellis, Rioli and Jetta in your starting team with only four trades left puts you in a pretty bad spot. With a low amount of money in the bank to make a significant upgrade you have to make two trades so I would wait until finals time to make the trades.

Yeah it's only my first year and to be ranked in the top 15,000 in the country and sitting ontop of the ladder for my league filled with alot of 2nd and 3rd year players, i feel i have done not too badly at all!
The major mistake i made this year was having too many cash cows in my team at the start of the season therefore it has taken alot of trades to get my team the way it is now.
Also made alot of sideways trades.
I have learnt so much this year, look out next year i will dominate! (probably not) :)
