ROUND 3

Scores: 2229, 2149, 2045
and your about 6th in the New Radicals league
good team IMO good trade..
jolly is a waste of money..
Hi Prospector,
I'm sorry but I'm not a fan of the team. I just don't think you have enough keepers from the beginning.
IMO you have:
Backs: Hurn, Goddard, Hodge
Mids: Ablett, Dal, Pendles
Rucks: Sandi and now Kreuz has to stay
Fwds:Okeefe & Pav - with Roo out.
That's 10 keepers in total with 19 trades left I presume. I think it will be hard to get upgrades in all areas.
Who will you trade Roo for?
I also traded Jolly out Kreuzer in!

also don't forget about mcmahon, lecras and tippett. don't pay 400k+ for a cash cow you know ;D. also need to expect at least 1 of your many cash cows to become keepers.
OUT Riewoldt ($595,700) IN Brown ($579,500)
prossy great team mate, your in a league with me2.
ur only concern is your forwrd line, which is in the same predicament as mine. tippett and warren are duds.

Good team Prospector, and also congrats on the promotion to forum moderator!
Thanks roo boys!
Solid team.
How much you hoping to score this week Prossie?
get rid of Mcmahon for a cheap player that will go up so u get some money some one like P.Davis or C.Schimdt for Adelaide thanks
A poor week, but 2060 thanks to the little master!
McMahon has apparently hyper-extended his arm, so he may well have to go - will wait on more injury news though.

Counting on Goddard to rack 'em up in the absence of the little master.
Why get rid of McMahon he is a very good player and can score 100+ i think this week you should trade out Ziebell for Jarred Grant and save that cash or trade Hunt for a premium
2154 in spite of the little master taking a rest.
what is your overall ranking prospector?
not a bad team. not scoring that well though.

Don't think he's a must. If you didn't get him before round 3, missed the boat. Rather trade in a gun like Gilbee or Duffield now instead.

Yeah, Z to Fyfe should have happened last week - oh well, hindsight and all that. Hoping there's still plenty left in Fyfe.
I think Fyfe continuing to score well is a bit optimistic to be honest Prospector. Probably would of been better to upgrade Ziebs instead.
Look at Swans score, did you give him the leadership role?
He'd be mad too, he has Ablett in his side
Haha, it would've paid off, but Ablett is there for a reason - he is the permaCaptain. Swan is the perma-Vice!

Left Rohan on field after trading (left in a rush). Hope it's not too damaging.
Who's on bench instead?
Basti
and rohan?
Quote from: Prospector_1 on May 22, 2010, 01:00:18 PM
Basti
Doesn't seem all that bad. At least it's not a Premium!!! :)
Shouldn't be, Rohan playing Freo and without ohnson maybe he could have a breakout game 100+. I've got him pencilled in for 80.
Quote from: Alex7089 on May 22, 2010, 09:01:35 AM
and rohan?
No, that's the problem, he shoulda been! Instead of Howlett or Basti ...
Wow ok, so Rohan is starting and Howlett and Basti on the bench? I think I got it.
I told you, Rohan on 39 at qtr time. I totally saw this coming. :P
At 3qtr time looks like Rohan might be better this week compared to basty :D. Jinx..... i think not!!!
Rohan pulls a more than handy 103. Saw it coming. Predicted 100+
AAaaaargghhh, Howlett was the emergency, and shoulda been on field!
I would be happy with either rohan or howlett in my team :'( :'(. Even if they were just warming the bench :'(.
Ahh, be happy your rookies are scoring so well pros. You also have fyfe, but no hitchy to make it the quadfecta (??)
Hitch to Pod was an early trade!
ah, I've kept the faith in Alfred, and I'm happy I did. Courtesy of HP :D
I had Howlett and Fyfe on. :D me happy!
I don't have either of them, let alone on field. Me jealous.
Me LOLing at you!

Only real other option that needs to IMO is McMahon. Or are you happy with keeping him?
People say Fyfe may have to go, although in my eyes he has been putting together some really good scores last few weeks, not a bad 7th forward option.

Hmm, might want to keep him considering what he paid for him at the start of the year. Not the best form at the moment but if he rides through it, he'll have a handy unique at the end of the year.
OK yeah i suppose, he could become quite handy later in the season hopefully finals time.
There we go, cracked the ton or at least got very close. Think he got 100 exactly on Superfooty but not sure about his revised score.
I was proved wrong by him, there goes my credibility!
All you need to do is Keep A Little Faith & Don't Panic and premiums will always pull through.
And remember that Q is Here To Help!
Actually, He's 'I'm Here To Help.' In lime green ;) :P
Yes, I was very pleased to see a decent game from McMahon, at last. I think he played 20 games last year for around a 100 average, so I had good hopes for him.

No it's Lime Green.
Alex It is "I'm Here To Help" but "Here To Help" is also acceptable ;D :o 8)
Ah ok, well at least now we know how it all works. Definitely would be happy McMahon finally delivered Pros, been waiting a while and was starting to look like never returning to last years form but alas, never doubt the premium!

Undecided. Cox expensive - spent my cash on Juddy. Maybe Clarke or Jamar. Maybe HMac?
Be getting low on
1> Cash.
2> Trades.
Hmm ol mate.
I would go Jamar personally.
I would go Clark he is hitting some form
you think? even if he is, so is Jamar!

That's a temptation too! A forward bench of Lobbe and Relton looks godawful, but!
Leaving Kreuze on the bench seems a terrible waste of money.
Fixing that costs at least 2 trades, 1 for the money (Kreuze) 2 for the show (Relton --> ?Harvey? or whatever I can afford).
7 trades available, but additional problems with Maguire and JBrown, and we're still weeks from the finals.
At least there's a few days to think about it...

depends on your league position
most of us are out of contention by rnd 8-10 for the cash so then it reverts back to leagues
some save trades and upgrades on the weeks of easy games looking at ladder possy and finals
unless you look to your overall possy ( ie trying to get top 1000 or 5000 )

I think around 300 points. That's about 20 points per team we need to pick up on them over the next 4 weeks. I hope we can do it. They are 1st and we are 6th in leagues overall at present.
Wait a go you guys!!! Carrying the torch for FanFooty 8).
Hmmm, total points difference was 4639 last week ...
4 weeks to go from there, we needed to gain about 1160 a week. That's a 70+ per team. Might be difficult ...

Trades:
ROUND 20
OUT Webberley ($272,900) IN Newman ($490,600) Newman had been going great, and chose this round and the next to go quiet. Was it the opposition? I had stopped checking out the fixture for match ups by this stage.
ROUND 19
OUT Podsiadly ($395,300) IN Riewoldt ($438,000) Compulsory trade. Good trade.
ROUND 17
OUT McMahon ($380,200) IN Smith ($100,200) McMahon was robbed of his role by Rawlings. Smith did his job really well.
ROUND 15
OUT Brown ($390,000) IN Didak ($482,900) Good trade.
OUT Barlow ($565,900) IN Simpson ($466,500) Compulsory trade, Simpson had already done his bet work though.
ROUND 14
OUT Maguire ($361,000) IN Shaw ($404,200) Good trade
OUT Kreuzer ($391,200) IN McIntosh ($369,200) Compulsory given I screwed with the early ruck trade.
ROUND 13
OUT Bastinac ($343,500) IN Judd ($602,200) Good trade.
ROUND 12
OUT Howlett ($327,800) IN Gysberts ($129,200) Fail. Sucked in by Gysberts price potential. Howlett came back even better.
ROUND 11
OUT Hunt ($345,100) IN Enright ($486,900) OK trade.
ROUND 10
OUT Waters ($341,500) IN Gilbee ($499,900) Waters coulda stayed, Gilbee fizzled and wasn't really the value pick.
ROUND 9
OUT Silvagni ($245,200) IN Webberley ($94,200) OK trade.
OUT Trengove ($351,500) IN Rohan ($154,200) Rohan for mpp saved a few donuts.
ROUND 8
OUT Martin ($302,500) IN Swan ($554,000) Great trade.
OUT Ziebell ($318,900) IN Fyfe ($186,100) Ziebell had to go, Fyfe had already had that first price rise, but was worth it.
ROUND 7
OUT Jetta ($231,400) IN Howlett ($83,400) Great trade.
ROUND 6
OUT Warren ($268,600) IN Franklin ($460,300) Warren had to go, Buddy was a bargain.
ROUND 5 OUT Hitchcock ($158,400) IN Podsiadly ($83,400) Pods was a must have, but Relton out was the better choice.
ROUND 4
OUT Riewoldt ($595,700) IN Brown ($579,500) Brown started on fire - really a bad value choice this early though (Harvey was better).
ROUND 3
OUT Jolly ($493,200) IN Kreuzer ($421,100) shoulda showed faith in Jolly.
made the same mistake with relton
I reckon I coulda held Jolly, in hindsight.
How'd you pull up Pros?
Ranked just over 10K for the year. Spent some weeks inside that, and was hoping to finish under 10K. Oh well, there's always next year.
It was a great season, I think I selected and traded better than I have before.
YSCCE won the battle against BF SCE Div. 2 (I was a bit confused about who we were trying to beat). The league finished 5 overall, a pleasing result leaving room for improvement.
Enjoying Mad Monday, ossie?
Yeah, I've worn my Fev apparel to work. Hasn't gone down well

Comments on team
Backs â€"
Served well, made money. Hurn not as good as hoped - injuries hurt there. Nason still in the team at the end hurt. McMahon's injuries, and his job being taken by Rawlings hurt.
Mids â€"
Served well, made money. Getting rid of Jetta earlyish was a good move. Other rookies made heaps or became premium. Happy with my midfield recruits.
Rucks â€"
I should have held Jolly through his rough early patch. Tippett coulda filled in OK, but the forward bench made that hard at times (thanks Relton).
Fwds â€"
Ziebell, Warren, Roberts fail. Tippett less so. Should have made the early trade at round 3 to remove Roberts rather than fiddling in the rucks. Ziebell and Warren may as well have been rookies.
Conclusion
Guns and Rookies for 2011. Hold ruck 2 - form improves and injuries occur. Should not have needed to have ruck problems with this starting side.
Best picks - Goddard, Hodge, Ablett, Dal Santo, Pendlebury, Barlow, Sandilands, O'Keefe, N.Riewoldt, Pavlich
Worst picks â€" McMahon, Ziebell, Warren, Roberts

1. Trust your judgement on R2 for a while longer - have some coverage (Tippett was OK).
2. Get rid of your Reltons at round 3.
3. Guns and Rookies - had at least 2 too many "difficult price" players (Ziebell & Warren, hands up)
4. Trading for "value" is a better strategy than I have used before. Keep working that way, watching FF's SC rollercoaster.
5. Keep at least one trade for round 20. Maybe keep one for R19 too!
