Recall a thread of this nature last year....Who did you manage to keep all year?
I had 9.
7 if you don't count Olango and Keeffe who were non players essentially anyway and of those I only consider 4 (Laird, Simpson, Titch and Gawn) to be successes with Dusty being serviceable at a massive initial outlay.
No wonder I did so poorly.
D - Laird, Simpson, Hibberd
M - Fyfe, Mitchell, Martin
R - Gawn, Olango
F - Keeffe
Was just thinking about this haha
10 for
D- Laird, Simpson, McGovern
M - Mitchell, Dusty, Bont
R - Gawn, Flynn
F - Heeney, Fritsch
Mitchell and Gawn the only two who have played every game which is a real eye opener, that seems a lot worse than past years.
D: Laird, Lloyd, Savage (no trades)
M: Beams
R: Gawn
F: Smith, Fritsch
Pretty yuck really hahahah
D: Laird, Keeffe
M: Titch, Kelly, Holman, Barry
R: Gawn, Goldy, Olango
F: Heeney, Sicily
And that's why my year was what it was lol
D: Laird
M: Titch, Coniglio, Bont (Cripps I've had since Rd.2)
R: Gawn, Goldy, Olango
F: Dev Smith, Heeney, Fritsch
:-\
D: Laird, Hurley
M: Mitchell, D. Martin, Cripps, Coniglio
R: Gawn, S. Martin (Olango)
F: Smith
Backs: Yeo, Simpson, Hurley, Laird
Midfield: Mitchell, Cripps, Martin, Bontempelli
Rucks: Gawn, Grundy - Olango
FWD: Heeney, D Smith
13 if you include Olango. Ranked 86th, 2 trades left.

Great call starting with Grundy!
Great thread NZ!!

Forwards: Smith, Heeney, McLean
13 if you include Cameron. Sitting 212th with 2 trades left.
BAC: Lloyd, Sicily, Shaw, Laird.
MID: Titch, Cripps, Barry.
RUC: Gawn
FWD: Dev, Heeney, ZGL.
This is why I did bad:
Def: Laird, Hurley, Savage
Mid: Titchell, T Kelly (yep kept him all through),
Ruck Gawn, Martin - Olongo
Fwds: Smith, Christensen, Fritsch
Laird, Hurley.
Titch, Danger, Cogs. (Barry, yeah, I know :-[)
Gawn. (Olango) Luxury traded Goldy to Grundy last week)
Devon, Walters (Keefe)
Worst season ever. First time I haven’t even made the finals in my cash league.
I traded hard early on to unload a lot of spuds. Hibberd, Billings, Armitage, Bell.
D: Laird
M: Mitchell, Crpps, Merrett, Coniglio, Kelly
R: Gawn, Goldy
F: Smith, Heeney
Laird
Titch,Cripps,Dusty,Garlett
Gawn,Goldy English
Heeney,Smith,Walters
Hibberd went last week for Crisp, wish I'd held now with Kelly and Walters injured, no trades and only Ahern as cover, who will probably get dropped tomorrow.
Worst. season. ever.
Laird, Simpson, Keefe
Titch Cripps, Danger
Gawn Goldstien, Olango
D Smith, T McLean
11 with two non players.
Laird, Savage - L.Keeffe
Mitchell, D.Martin, Coniglio
Gawn, Goldy - Olango
D.Smith, Caddy
Doesn't make for good reading, and highlights why I ran out of trades too early and have plummeted in the rankings over the last few weeks :(
Backs: Hurley, Laird
Midfield: Mitchell, Coniglio,
Rucks: Gawn, Martin Rookie
Forwards: Heeney McLean
8 Premos
Shows how important the starting team is. You miss one or two rookies, choose an underperforming premo and go for a few mid pricers who flunk you've flowered your season.
i been lucky it looks like
Backs: Lloyd, Laird,
Midfield: Mitchell, Danger, Dusty, Zerrett, Parker
Rucks: Gawn,
Forwards: Heeney, Smith,
interesting read, between 7-11 prems for most of us. given we start with 14 prems approx, shows how important getting that first team right plus we are going to have to deal with 4-7 trades from our starting teams and need to develop backup plans. so why overpay for superprems. look at danger and dusty this year both were way overs. fyfe the year before.
also think having keefe was a wasted opportunity. less cash generation and coverage and there are normally non playing rookies or injured prems for loopholes.
Def: Laird
Mid: titch, martin, coniglio, zerret, fyfe

I got the backline right!

I agree with the Keefe call. As you stated, not starting with him helped me with cash generation I reckon. Starting with Josh Kelly & Matt Crouch hurt my start. I didn't grab Billings which helped too. Although I did start with Hibbo, there's another mistake.
Always interesting looking back on this, see where it all went wrong!
For me:
DEF: Laird
MID: Mitchell, Dusty
RUCK: Gawn, Goldstein
FWD: Smith, Walters
I wonder whether majority of the teams at the top aren't so different now than how they started? Nailing those starting premiums is so important..
Laird Howe
Pendles Conigs Neale Titch
Gawn Goldy
Devon
Laird, Llyod
Mitchell, Cripps, Fyfe, Coniglio
Gawn, Goldy & Olango
Smith, Heeney
10 and a loop for me!
Traded hard early and it got me to the top, but lack of trades now has left me clinging to the leaders and hoping to stay top 10.
Laird (Murphy)
Titch, Cripps, Danger, Dusty, Coniglio
Gawn (Olango)
Smith
Was reasonably loose with my trades this year such as trading Goldy out for Grundy very early on, which has helped my ranking (113) but ran out of trades a couple of weeks ago
Great thread! Wow, my starting team sucked!!
Laird, Hurley (Murphy)
Kelly, Conigs, Dusty
