Ok wtf should i do.

1 trade left, 30K lol.
Yeh I know, that's bad. But I can still see my team looking good next week and when finals start.

Do I:
Trade Cornes this week (no-one really available though...Osbourne, Ibboston :p)

Trade White this week (again, can't get Sandilands, probably no-one worth it).

Keep the trade till finals.

If Macdonald, White, Ablett aren't all back by next week :mad:!
I'm actually worried if Porpz is named that Valenti will outscore him on the bench LOL.

Athomas i'd say your team is in a bit of trouble come finals time. Personally i would probably just trade Cornes as White at least has a chance of coming back and maybe even back this week? Your side has heaps of injuries! Could you post a list of all your trades so far?

Tell me about it, the worst part is I have 3 that were all meant to be 1 week maximum (White, Macdonald, Ablett).

I'll post my trades but a few have been very sideways lol. Give me a sec.

Nicoski

Wood

Got excited by Fevs form did ya? Dont rate him as a decent SC tbh.

Grundy in and then out 2 weeks later? Damn man.

Oh well 2009 we'll all be wiser. :)

I should have stuck with SJ at least. Not that mad about Stanton, if it was DT I definitely should have kept him.

Grundy was just stupid... I made heaps of bets with friends first 10 rounds (won ALL of them too ;)) which sure was good at the time but now i'm suffering.

And yeh, learn heaps for next year!

Happy with fevola, was only 25K diff and he's scored me 2 100+ scores and an 85.

Right- need to shore up my backline.
Currently looks like this: H. Shaw; L. Gilbee; S. Tiffy; D. Bradshaw; A. Wonaeamirri; C. Hadly; A. Proud (D. Myers; D. Pfieffer).

You see my dilemma.

I have 5 trades left, can limp through the other positions with no more upgrades (just), and have $259K in the bank after last week's trading.

So- I can grab a big gun like Milburn, Bowden, Newman, Goddard for Chad now, and hope that Myers gets better and/or Proud/Pfieffer get a run, or bite the bullet and do two trades and move Myers out as well- the trouble there is that a: I have to temper my trade choices somewhat, and go for, say Bock and Ladson, or mebbe Fisher/Pratt or one of the aforementioned big guns and, say, Massie or Ibbotson or Birchall, b: I leave myself with little cash in the kitty for later changes.

I am hamstrung a bit in that I'm off at a sales conference in NSW until Sat arvo, so while I can hold off making any trades until Friday afternoon, I won't have much access to the innerwebs to research in the intervening time.

I think I can take the zero this week and just do one trade, but realistically whatever I decide will inform future trades as well, so if you have any advice, please feel free.

Cheers, and apols for the length.

Off topic: Does anyone else get annoyed with the bigfooty website scrolling up and down randomly...I think it's due to the adverts. I open a page, scroll to where I want to be and Bang! I'm up the top again. F-me.

Sure your browser isn't refreshing itself, therefore taking you to the top of the page again (or in between, depending on what you clicked).

Get Firefox, then the Adblock Plus extension = no ads :thumbsu:

Johncock wasn't suspended really. According to the club he was "dropped" for form and because of his attitude towards game day. I'm taking two zeros with P.Burgoyne serving a club suspension.
