If you made those mistakes and are still sitting at 50 I'd say you did a whole bunch of other stuff right, either that or just got very lucky.

My rookies at the start of the year were solid and had Watson from the start. Got on Beams early, but really my best strategy was to improve my midfield and forward line while not focusing too much on the rucks and defenders. The difference between a 60-70 score in defence and a 60-70 score in the fwds and mids is massive. Your best defenders struggle to average over 100, where as the forwards and mids easily average 110s+.

Exactly. Top 50 is insane for all those blunders.

Brent Stanton- Nuff said.

The thing is, i don't feel like I've been going all that well all year, and yet I haven't been outside the top 1000 since round 1, and most of the year I have been hovering around the 300 mark.
Still, there is a very good chance I could fall a little over the last 2 weeks. i have no trades left and still have Sam Shaw and Lee Spurr as starters, though Buddy and Swanny back will help.

I am a good 1000 points off the leader and it has been apparent since mid season that i had no way of catching the leaders (given the similarity in teams and lack of trades) so I haven't really been all that excited about my results. Looking forward to Feb next year.......Dustin Martin a lock!!

Quite a few of the guys in my leagues this round are still playing a rookie defender or two, so I guess they have followed your strategy of focusing on the fwd and mids. If I could go back I would have filled my backs with more mid-pricers and rookies, as most of the top 100 teams did and it gave them a huge jump at the start of the season.

My rucks, I've went
mumford -> sandilands -> hmac -> ryder -> **** it I'll just use giles/stephenson/redden

Stanton
Bring in zaharakis, gets injured 2 weeks later
Traded in murphy when ablett was injured with the intention of simply upgrading a rookie to ablett when he came back
Sucked into martin hype
Started with Broughton, trade him out in round 3
Not starting with more mid pricers

Only currently ranked 5,500th overall.

Lost both finals in my one and only private league to 2 dudes respectively ranked 30,000 (1st final) and 50,000 (2nd final) spots lower than my selected mob.

2 trades left and 460K in the pocket.

I thought this would be an easy part-time job. Originally, thought I could smash out the Supercoach league I entered.

I'll tell you why cause I'm

Benching Zorko (163 points) so I could fit my seven 'premiums' on the field.

Can safely say trading Sandi out for Goldstein, has singlehandidly cost me $20 and 2 prelims by scoring 27, will never be getting him again.

If you never did the trade, you wouldn't of made it that far.

Debatable, had the cash for Maric but stupidly thought he'd fade towards the end of the season

I feel like my legs have been cut off or something - what am i to do, team selections are now just another boring news event, late withdrawals fall into the who gives a f**k category and 30+ possessions and 3 goals means woopteedo.

Please make it April 2013 NOW!

Same.

I need to atone a shitty finals series effort. (Straight sets)

My mate came from 7th and won my home league grand final.

Dec 15th can't come quick enough. (SC gold subscriber this year!)
