OK I am also sorry I have been flat chat getting anything out this week.

So its a very simple barebones list of names, then discuss away!

Advice for the week: Plan/ration your trades. Think of trading now as one per week rather than cash cow upgrade. I would think 9 after this round will be sufficient. Anything more than 12 and you have a team that could use improving, and any less than 7 and you are in trouble.

FRESH MEAT
Under 200k its lean pickings.  Heath and Gysberts the best for mine.
Downgrade targets are (D) Heath, Roberton (M) Gysberts (R) Stanley (F) Hughes, Wonaeamirri, Stewart, OKeefe, Griffiths.

CATCH THE TRAIN
Leroy Jetta and Kepler (Crapula) Bradley have had a purple patch.  If you think its going to last, jump on as they are going up.  Mind you I think they will either get injured or have a bit of poor form, so I would avoid.  But Crapula at least has the MPP thing going with Jackson Trengove.
For pure point chasing goodness, why not go Bryce Gibbs before his price rockets after the near 200 score!

ON THE NOSE
Tomorrows bargains start from the pig slop of "On the Nose"
Main three players I see as on the nose are Ablett, Sandilands and Higgins.  For those who wanted in at some stage in the next few weeks they will be at their best price for the year.

BEST BUYS
Defenders - Enright, Gilbee, Gilbert, Shaw, Hurn (all I think slightly under priced)
Midfielders  - Probably slightly 2nd tier but good value around 500k for Bartel, Murphy, Cooney, Boyd and Pendlebury.  Kade Simpson is OK for a roughie bushpig unique.
Rucks - Ryder and Hille best performed recently.  Cox always a good option.
Forwards - Value galore in ROK, Brown, Goodes and DARE I SAY IT THOMAS.  I havent got him this year, but by jingoes his form warrants it.

Until next week, happy trading.

Hey guys, were finally officially moving up to our shiny new servers.

I have no idea what its going to happen, but fingers are crossed that minimal fuss is caused.

I believe the DNS thingy takes 24 hours to propagate, so things might get a little funky in these parts for the next 24 hours... who knows though!

MEOW all,

I would like to welcome all you cats out there to another installment of the leagues review, because I know you have all been dying to get stuck into your opponents, and to know how we are faring. What a week for scoring, it looked like we were going to see some massive scores this weekend with the likes of Joey and the Jpod tearing it up, and I am sure there were some of us who were eyeing 2500+ Sunday morning, but surprisingly most of the big names did not take off in the Freo, Carlton or Hawks games.

Now before we get into the TS leagues, I would like to take this opportunity to quickly mention that the Hawks are flying up the ladder after a nail biting finish against the Bloods on Sunday and could easily be in the 8 at the conclusion of next round...the Premiers of 2008 look to be back in the mix and could be making a charge at being a serious contender.

Anyways, continued over the break...

<!--more-->
The big news of the week was in the Orange Boys league (currently sitting 183) with The Duds registering their first win and setting a whopping round high 2394...well done...but is it too late for a charge up the ladder?

The Pine Warmers continue to impress holding 19th spot overall - a fantastic effort in a very tough league. Moving into this week, there was one game separating 1st and 12th, and last place had scored more points than anyone else in the league overall since league round 1, and finally got a win this week with a strong 2356 knocking off top place. Whoknows? won in a nail biter over Prospectus Boy and my boys, the Krunchy Nuts, took the chocolates over the Thunder Guns.

Round 10 has come and gone, and in its wake is a number of games where the votes should be very clear cut.

Friday night saw the first of many upsets, with a few lesser-lights from the Bombers really evening their tally up.  Anyone of Jetta, Winderlich or Stanton may get the three, where the dogs slim chance of picking up a vote rest with their inform ruckmen Ben Hudson.

Geelongs systematic demolition of Melbourne should bring another 3 votes to Joel Selwood - whilst GAJ and the j-Pod are a flip of the coin for the minor votes.  Selwood is making a steady rise up the leaderboard, and those that jumped on him a few weeks ago at mid $60 odds would be rubbing their hands together.

Richmonds first win of the year will bring about its first three - and an unexpected Shane Tuck will collect that here.  His display was so emphatic that Im nominating him for the three of the week - although Montagna and Gibbs should be pretty safe too...

Dal Santo should be safe for two votes in the St Kilda game - it always seems that he and Montagna seem to play well together, whereas when Hayes is on he often does it alone.  Dal Santo has ingrained himself in the middle of the chasing pack, and is one of the most in-form players in the comp after polling in each of the last 3 weeks.

Luke Powers three is relatively safe too, with Dale Thomas and Daniel Rich the biggest threat.  Regular vote-getters Black and Brown werent far off the mark either.

Two Swans players should pick up votes in their narrow loss to Hawthorn.  Hannebery picked up his second BOG for the year, and is really shaping up as a decent smokie for the Rising Star award.  Lewis was the Hawks best, whilst Mummy should out-poll Mitchell, Rioli and Franklin.

Murphys two should be pretty safe behind Gibbs massive three, whilst anyone of Walker, Judd, Scotland and Gartlett will fight it out for the one.

Whilst the race for Freos leading votegetter has always seemed a race between three, David...

Gah! There used to be a post here that detailed exactly why this was a round of upsets. It was full of wit- really, a masterpiece would be under rating it a little I reckon... however, it seems that due to a cat related computer issue, I have lost this weeks review, but yanno- every cloud has a silver lining, and so if anyone wants to have a crack a being read by thousands and thousands, email me through a review of this round, and Ill throw in your guest post.

And Ben, no, "Collingwood are crap" will not qualify.

Alright, we have a guest post- thank you very much Johnny.

Well they say things come in threes and that was the case this round in terms of upsets. Friday night was the first where Essendon got up over the Dogs. The Dons seemed in charge for most of the match and their aggressive attacking style seemed to work. It looked like it could have been a blowout in the 3rd quarter, yet the Dogs rallied late and made a charge with a 6 goal to 3 last quarter eventually going down by 9 points. Ryder (119) produced the goods with 2 goals and 8 tackles. Stanton (119) provided alot of drive up back while the old stager Flecher (105) was very effective and is heading into Michael Tuck territory. Gumbleton was disappointing with 53. The best of the Dogs were Hudson 131, Hall 119 and Lake 118. Aker had a shocker with 45 and may face the axe in some SuperCoach teams and his real one !

Now down to the Cattery, you know that impregnable fortress down the highway Happy to say there was no upset here. The Cats did what was expected and easily accounted for the Demons to the tune of 54 points. In overcast and windy conditions it was a scrappy game at times. There was also just enough rain to curb effective ball use at some stages. It really was a case of the usual suspects for the Cats. For 3rd game in a row at Skilled Staduim Jpod 144 kicked 5 goals. Ablett 137 and Selwood 134 took care of a midfield which was missing their No. 1 & 2 recruits Scully...

Just letting you guys know, it seems our hosts are been having issues all day. Fingers are crossed that they get it sorted soon enough!

Really I should have opened this post up before the game... now all Iv got going through my head is-

GO YOU BOMBER GOOD THINGS YEEEAAAHHHHHH!!!

Anyways, the odds on all the games this weekend are very short, but weve had one upset.

Hall and Lake did great, while Stanton has had a welcome back to form.

Im out- Go you good things!!
