Personally, I'd like to see a mechanism whereby one had 2-3 emergency supplemental trades that one could do in a season should the need the arise. E.g. you have a total of 27 trades plus 3 supplemental, you cop a bad injury week and need to make 3 trades, you can do so but then one of the supplementals is gone.

I'm a visionary. I'll accept a bank transfer for that one.

There aren't enough trades to do in one week. This shit is crazy.
They really need to change it to 3 trades a week. Every year I get screwed over with multiple injuries or suspension in 1 round then I either have to carry a turd or miss out on the good rookie leave it as 30 total but dont tie 1 hand behind our back when we have bad luck like that.

Waiting for this first game to start.

FU schedule
Yep sick of this 5 days of Footy get it done in 3 or 4 is plenty for easter weekend.

Just copying my idea from last year. You will be hearing from my Lawyers!

Was hoping that SPP would get to $350k odd by his bye, won't even get to $260k at this current rate. Even the rookie locks are rookie duds.
No offense .....but Port playing Carlton at Adelaide Oval, gives us coaches hope of a SPP revival next week

Shaw a let down again. Hannan's 53 more than expected.

Pendlebury, Beams, SMartin, Nank, Parfitt & Danger (c) still to play.
Think I'm better off than a lot because if Beams is a late out, I've got Balic and his 73 sitting there.

All this talk that Ziebel should get suspended for his bump on Cloke. Would be a shame because it's just so unusual for him to actually hit his target.
Going by his suspension history they are the ones he usually nails. Then again he probably on hits half the players he is trying to for all we know.

Started with Balic. I always start with two zeroes so him and Strnadica got the gigs. Even with the coach he was always going to get games just happened earlier than I expected. Which is good seeing some of the spud rookies that I've got. He just needs to get a bigger tank to be able to increase his TOG.

I'm really not looking forward to the bye rounds. Rounds 11-14 have a Thursday night game and one of them is the long weekend too, so with the bye rounds I believe there are 6 games stretched over 5 days. Ridiculous.

Thank **** I dodged that bullet but anyday of the week I am picking Swallow over SPP if thats what you are asking.
Only took 2 games for this seasons guaranteed Rookie Keeper to fall out of favor :p ....that said i also had him on the bench

To be fair though, it's not uncommon for young players in Sth Aust to suffer massive let downs after the massive build-up of a Showdown
