Welcome to the first in a series of three retrospectives from the biggest names in SuperCoach this year. Were kicking it off with the current third place side YamumLuvsBigCox.
Thats right, not Joshuas Team!
So tune in over the break to catch his own personal view of the season so far- writen from the unique angle of not actually knowing who won yet!

STARTING TEAM
DEF: Gibbs, Goddard, Deledio, Enright, Lower, Heppell, Duigan (Stanley, Toy, Coad)
MID: Swan, Selwood, Murphy, Boyd, Krakouer, Liberatore (Harris, Berwick, Atley)
RUCK: Cox, Sandilands (Smith, Tippett)
FWD: Pavlich, Goodes, N. Riewoldt, Franklin, Higgins, Petrie, Darling (Tapscott, Richardson, Matera)
Picking my starting team was a balance of not having too many players out with the three multi bye rounds, not compromising on must have premiums and very few injury prone players because I thought that with the byes injuries could ruin your year. Then there was looking for value; Boyd for example was very durable and with the change to champion data scoring with regards to turnovers he has increased his output 7-8 pts per game. Goodes price was low and Murphy was due for a break out year. The rookies pretty much picked themselves a lot of value in the Gold Coast.
One lineball decision I had was in tossing up between Higgins, Fyfe and Yarran. I went Higgins because of the round 6 bye and preseason form. He scored well went up in price and I didnt flinch about trading him so I cant complain.
My trading plan was 2 trades before the price rise and 1 sideways during the first 3 multi bye rounds if needed, then try to trade hard to get in a good position early.
