This blog is getting more and more pointless cause most people are only trading injured players and are looking at the best player in there price range. So, this week we will look at Chappy who is out for up to four weeks, and I have him so I need to do the research myself.

Woohoo! Ablett will definitely be missing this week. Sorry Lucas, but this could mean the BrayDog’s Catters can keep pouncing there way up the SC ladder. But, his Brownlow chances are slowing.

Also, in other news that is a couple of days old, Stiffy is still unlikely to play, but my man Bock Choy wants him back. Of course he does, he got a 49 without the Stiff and him playing kick-to-kick. Haha. The Clinger is back, so Deledio owners, get worried. Chappy is out for up to four weeks now, have to look at trading now. Not so Goodes is out for three weeks just for those that are abit slow.

But no Ablett…

In recent weeks I have rocketed up the SuperCoach tables after falling to 255, but two 2200+’s and now two 23000+’s in a row and I’m sitting pretty at 29th. Thanks to finally picking decent captains, and having the best forward line ever. Imagine if I didn’t have Brown captain with his 24, Shaw with a 45 and BJ with his 39. And, what if I had Ablett? I’m one of the highest ranks with an Ablett-less team.

My team has been more consitent than Dan Cross, with no scores under 2000 all year and never getting over 2400. Lack of injuries have also been a blessing with Judd, Gamble, Richo, Johncock and Pavlich the only ones missing weeks for me… while Burton being the only trade due to a injury/supension, which worked out a beauty picking up Roo and Birdman getting an season ending injury. Other rippers was the downgrade of Brad Johnson for Richo just before his 177 then he has been on a roll since. But, my highest scoring player which I’ve had from day one is my favourite Crossy, what a legend. Disapointing trades included Stanton for Boomer before he went nuts, and Nicoski for Shaw when he was over $500k. Bloody hell.

Anyway, back to the reason why I’m doing this blog, my aim is to hit the top 10 before season’s end which I’m 166 points behind or 33.2 per round from now on. Very possible. Just will need alot of luck. My 2nd aim is to win the Geelong supporters table, I’m sitting 4th and need 171 or 34.2 per round. Another big possibly, but cause they are all Cats fans they have Ablett, and I don’t. C’mon Mark Thompson, we have Richmond this week, give Ablett one more week off. My 3rd aim, or dream is the overall top spot, and I would be getting odd of like 3,000,000-1 at the TAB, but it is possible. Sitting 584 away and needing atleast an extra 116.8 points per round, but we only have three differences in the middle and up forward being Judd/Ablett, Riewoldt/Stevie J and Richo/Murphy. So, lets hope Judd, Roo and ‘cho rip it up, while Ablett, Stevie and Robert struggle along. Cause I would imagine that there will be no stars down back that will make or break my chances.

Ok, I know its a wild dream, but am I in with a shot?

The weekend of the upsets, with sides from 2nd to 7th all losing, does anyone actually want that left-over top four spot? It’s like that terrible pasta your Mum cooked one night, but the left-overs just sits in the fridge cause no one wants it. On top of that I played my Joker this week. For those that have never heard of it, its a footy tipping rule, and you choose to play your Joker when ever and you get double tips that week, I tipped 3. Therefore 6 points. Go me. Lucky, I went better in SuperCoach…

With Ablett likely to be out for another big game against the Hawks, punters looking for value as their skipper this week have a few likely choices (and a few unlikely ones too). With ROK hitting some top form again, Pav, Pratt and Petrie scoring ridiculously highly, and Big Cox proving that he’s the best ruckman in the league despite carrying a right foot that’s as broken as buggery. I reckon there’s some games this weekend that will lend themsleves to unaccountable, high possession football – which is a fantasy footy coach’s dream. The Dogs and the Blues usually have pretty high scoring shootouts, the Cats and the Hawks should put on one hell of a show tomorrow night, and the Anzac Day rematch should be one to look out for too.

The first time I have ever had a special Best Buys but basically I will look how much your going to get for a star that is out for the season (this case Chadwick) and see which are the best pick-ups depending on your kitty balance.

The round of HUUUGGE scores (for example, ROK’s 199) and tiny scores (for example, McLeod’s -2)…

Had any of these boys captain?
