So Magoo your team seems to be peaking at the right time ... confident about beating my boys this weekend?? Any trading plans?

I'm sweating on Milburn coming back - sick of coping a zero for him!

Cant see much of a problem...lol Somebody stop me !!!

Nahh seriously no idea mate...always plan to peak at yrs end but as u know that can turn on a dime immediately. Averaging about 2100 in recent times means nothing for this week.

You want me to spill the beans on this weeks trading ? Out: Palmer In: Hodge sound good ?...lol. Captain will be Ibbotsen.

That little gun Palmer picked up 120 odd last week...and to think i was ready to "upgrade" him to Thompson awhile back but couldnt...kept getting a never ending procession of injuries down back and couldnt...same with Kennelly...everytime i was ready to upgrade him i'd lose another cpl of blokes. Milburn will likely be back this week. Looking less likely Cox will be rested so i might even spend the trade i allocated for him.

Hopefully Shifty will finish Guppy off so we dont get the "tainted" look to the GF the week after. We did ask if ppl cared or not and i'm pretty sure both u and Shifty were part of the crew that said "who cares"...so we're stuck with it now.

No coincidence the top 4 "points scored" teams are playing off. Its a very rough but at least useful guide to likely form at yrs end no matter what Shifty tells u lol. One or two of the teams in the top 8 had a great run of luck with HnA results and a cpl (eg SeeTheBombers) got screwed. Its a stoopid game.


As a side issue..after getting frozen out at the start all i could hope for was try to sneak into maybe the top 5000 by seasons end..felt like just forgetting about it this yr but its been at least fun trying to make up ground.

Here's what getting frozen out of rnd 1 then travelling at about top 500 pace for the rest of the season looks like in terms of rankings in case it happens to u next yr...took longer than i thought.

96194, 85215, 69947, 44149, 39577, 32560, 29231, 24343, 26186, 24100, 17626, 16477, 12668, 9947, 8358, 5548, 2rnds left.

Good luck this week. You'll need it Razz

Next yr we oughta put a cutoff time on the friday to enter teams so none of the dumber ones like me can be locked out in the freeze.

I've been peaking for a while now !! I used alot of trades early on this year because of the eliminator - managed to make the final 128 but got done at that stage. Have been trading very sparingly since then so my scores have kind of plateued. Looking forward to no zeros this week, hopefully!!

Trading in Hodge for Palmer sounds like a great idea. Hodge has been in fine form...

I think you should have no problem making it into the top 5000, but will have some problems trying to beat my boys!!

I have a flip of the coin decision I think this week.

I have to trade David Hille, which leaves me with one trade left. I then have to trade either D. Thomas (can't believe I didn't pick Deledio over him at the start of the year) or Foley. Both seem like 50/50 chances this week. I do have emergency's playing in the mids, that score around 60-70, but which of the two is more likely to play?
Or should I just play it safe and try trade Thomas as I have no emergency's to cover him should he not come up.

Or third option, only make the Hille trade and keep my last trade hoping I make it through to the final and then use it.

Just ignore it and wait till after the teams tomorrow arvo..see how you're left for the weekend and ask the same Q again.

Too many ifs, buts and maybe's still.

Well i dunno then...i'm just about done with this season's frivolities.

We were an inch from having it right this season but "deadly" still snuck in...should be able to fix that for next yr and maybe get a 2nd league going.

Been a good competitive league tho...think about the details come late summer i suppose.

pssstt...Tman. U got your Milburn wish..and i lost that Valenti kid that was going along nicely.

Might need to play Rioli instead and purchase Milburn lol

Couldnt care less if Chapman plays coz his record 1st game back from a stint is pretty lousy...dumped him a few weeks ago.

Yes i am quite happy to see Milburn back!!

Rioli should go allright against the weagles.

Going to be a close battle! Captain choice could be crucial!!

hmmmm an embarassment of choice from the midfileders atm. need to avoid thinking price and just look at their records for the 2 remaining club games. Priddis lurrrrrrvs hawthorn...Cooney likes the dons...Lukey Power at home. I just dont know.

Maybe i should just keep Palmer. ORRRR..buy Robert Harvey Surprised out of respect for his last 2 games. Might be a good luck charm

I think you may actually upgrade rioli or a defender but who knows! Palmer did score 120 last week after all!

Then again maybe you are out of trades....

I will find out soon enough i guess!
