Casey went for two trades. Correctional just to grab the rookies on the bubble Broughton > Paine (DPP Change from FWD to DEF) > Milera Miles > Greene C - Gaz VC - Pendles
Did the popular broughton trade to dempsey, and traded out miles for T Greene. Greene looks like a possesion machine, and id rather him for dreamteam, but wanted to get rid of miles so he was the only real option

Big difference, and will be hard to make up. What pisses me off more about it is that I had had the C on GAJ all week, and changed it to Pendles on Friday - before changing my mind at the last minute, but slightly too late. I am happy I managed to change my own team in time though - that's a positive.
Yeah the Pendles (C) thing will really split the Trading Games pack this round; I'll be another one heading south in this split. Fascinating to see what it will do to the overall league standings. Hopefully a lot of other leading leagues wil have their share of Pendlebury captaincies as well.
Down to 64...I blame myself ! Although 10 others in league 1 also had sub 2000 scores. Far too much Dependleburyness I suspect.

Things can turn around quickly in this though. We're all still in the hunt I reckon. Last season, there was a period of about 5 weeks or so, where FSB and I swapped the lead back and forth each week, but it wasn't close margins. We kept outscoring the other by like 300 points and then swapping over. Was quite odd. We had a lot of PODs by that stage.
I liked my crazy trades last week: Cox>McIntosh (both scored 110) Miles> Ebert Trading Games is fun, allows you to go a bit loco
Interesting week this week. No Heater, Lake in the backline. Dempsey questionable (for those that traded him in). Ellis named on extended bench for sunday. Looks like donuts coming in backs. In mids, T.Greene out which I think a few had brought in, Still no Miles and C.Smith out. In fwd's Smedts still out and Fyfe/Martin due to drop in price. Redden out in Rucks and BigO extended bench. How is everyone steering their way around this week? I've moved Fyfe out, got no back emergancys but im looking at holding everyone there. Hopefully Ellis gets a game to avoid a dredded donut. I'll let you know my trades after lockout!
Should be ok down back, only Lake out (dempsey still possibly out) but with two playing rookies on the bench, Tomlinson and Ellis. Only trade im considering is Fyfe out, still don't know what to do with him. Considering Fyfe > Barlow and pocket some $$ or a double trade Fyfe > Sidey Coniglio > Masten or Fyfe > JPK Or just keep Fyfe....... Arghhh, Fremantle are killing me so far this year
As most of us would, I've got no emergencies down back as well, but not planing to trade there. I'm doing 2 trades again this week, but as with Warsaken, you'll find out what they are after lockout. I was thinking all week that I wouldn't do any trades in this team, but had a play around last night and am happy with my decisions for now. Will be interesting after teams are announced tonight though.
come on anthak and warsaken share the chocolate were all friends (enemies) here i might trade in grimes and see if i can get a really BAD score and turn this comp on its head, try to have the worst team by round 22
