You made 2 trades before 14 teams were even named? :confused:
Why did you make trades before lockout?

Assuming they didn't involve Collingwood, Essendon, Sydney or St Kilda...

I did it because i knew what trades i wanted to make and it wasn't going to change.

Who would have guessed Stevenson would get dropped anyway?

Also not like it matters that much, last 2 weeks i have basically played 1 down, Viney last week, Kreuzer week before....

I've had my trades set all week but I'm still waiting until Friday night to make them. Who knows what could happen between 2:40 today and 7:40 tomorrow night. Players get dropped all the time.

Ye probably should have waited, dnno why i didn't wasn't thinking.

Even still i think it is good because i would have traded Hanley if that was the case, but i don't want too so guess it is a blessing in disguise.

Just need new recruits Ablett (C) and Mayes to smash it to make up for it.
 
639/6

Swan(C), JPK, Goddard, Heppell, Hibberd

Off to a very good start. Will take the 120 for Swanny as vice capt. Let's just hope Currie doesn't come in for Goldstein at the last minute...
 
5/552, which is easily my best start this year

Goddard :thumbsu:
Heppell :thumbsu:
Roo :thumbsu::thumbsu:
JPK
McVeigh

Glad I backed out of trading in Cloke, while Roo is making it impossible to "upgrade" him.
 
861/8
Heppell 100
Goddard 104
Swan(c) 240
Pendlebury 108
Watson 109
Riewoldt 153!!!
Dwyer 47

thought i was on track for a massive one until i saw that i forgot to sub dwyer for mayes
 
452/3 (C)
I'm liking my start
120x2 from swan is nothing massive but its a solid captain score and im happy
104 from Goddard - so well done anything over 100 for a defender is a massive plus I think they can so easily score under 80 so a plus 100 is a relief
108 from Pendles, quality performance, not world beating but more than satisfactory


These three are a solid base for a good round so I'm hoping to have a decent one
 
Loving Riewoldt, he was intended to be my first premium traded out at the start of the season (picked him because of an easy draw for the first few rounds) and is now my best premium outside of my midfield, take a bow you star :)

681/6

Riewoldt = 153
Swan (VC) = 120 I will take his 120 as captain with Moller subbing into R2 and Leuenberger emergency
Pendlebury = 108
Goddard = 104
Heppell = 100
O'Keefe = 96

with Swan as captain 801/6 + captain :D

Swan owners should take 120 unless they have Gaz then its very close

As a general rule we have better teams then most so for league play at least we should be aiming to reduce variance so locking up a score is a good thing compared to a stinker captain score (like Cox last week)

If you expect to lose then sure, wing it with Hoff or Gas or Cotch...

Fwiw I had Jobe with 109 which is damn close which way to go. I have a lock on my $100 league but I'm probably a severe underdog in one $50 league and flipping the other two....

Will decide tomorrow
 
552/5

Swan (C) - 120 x 2
Pendlebury - 108
Goddard - 104
Heppell - 100

Very happy with my start and happy with Swans 120, especially considering a lot of people fielded dwyer who score under 50.

For the love of god, people who used the loophole, make sure you select another captain ;)
 
I'm pretty sure everyone on here wouldn't be as stupid as me, but in case you are, you can't reverse trades today as I had thought you could.

Doesn't matter too much, I'm ok with the trades. Mayes for Kreuzer and Evans for Viney. Decided that Crouch is a better option than Viney to keep.

Crouch really ****ed me around this week. Would have had Buddy and Crouch on the field if he hadn't got injured. Instead I had Dwyer and Jack Steven, 120 between them...

I think I'll have a crap score this week, trying to convince myself it will pay off in the long-term...

562/5+C so far... thanks Dwyer and Steven... can't wait to get you both the****outofmydreamteam

so i had the VC on sidebottom.... and Dwyer as EMG with crouch (C) on the field... but that means ill have to take Dwyer's score with Evans on the bench....
Unless i take a huge risk and put the (C) on Stevenson who could be a late inclusion... but i might just leave it in the end, hoping Evans will score less than 60-70
 
989 from 9 (Including Captain)

Cloke only average score.

Cloke 67
Watson 109
TBell 108
Swan (C) 240
Pendlebury 108
Heppell 100
Goddard 104
N.Riewoldt 153
