HEB - Im sure someone else on the bus had the same problem. you just needed to look for them. May well have been someone from this league, seeing as most of us dont know who the hell we all are in the real world!
<blockquote>Quote from TheTassieHawk on May 16, 2012, 10:50 @HEB - thanks for sharing !! lol !! @anthak - it would be good to hear a definat Chris Scott style "Don't write us off" from down your way - or at least a review of how your/Michelles Tradign Games Premiership Defence so far !! Cheers TTH</blockquote> haha. ok then... DONT WRITE US OFF! I did have a similar thing happen to me as Heb, near start of season, where right at lockout i was a little too slow in chaging the cap from Pendles to GAJ, and lost out 120 points for it... But that is not an excuse. I have still been playing, and what it comes down to is that some of my decisions have not been great. I remember last year, I made a double trade in round 4, bringing in Boomer and Droopy, with instant results. They scored about 280 between them that round and it was a good little PoD boost. This year, with not a whole lot separating lots of us, we all would just need something like that to go our way to get up amongst the leaders or in some peoples cases, pull away at the front. My 3 upgrades Ive done so far this year have all been pretty bad decisions, but they do still have time to make ammends. Malceski, MMurphy and ROK. Whereas last year, trade after trade seemed to work out for me. I think the byes will sort a lot of us out, and even though I havent even started my planning for them, I still hold hope that I can move up the ladder through those three rounds. Its a long season. Never write of a champion (even if it is only from winning the previous year) hahaha :mrgreen:
I am gettign my dad to decide between - a downgrade/upgrade this week (probably NDs/brennan for bugg/dmsith) - or to hold off for a week, wait to see what Sheedy does and see whetehr Ellis bounces back form wise !! By holding off he should be able to do 2*upgrade/downgrades in Rounds 9 & Round 10, get 2 fallen premiums on board, have 14 trades and (hopefuly) half decent rookie coverage heading into the byes. Is anyone else in Trading games tossing a coin on whetehr to upgrade this week ??
I've got a bit of left over coin from last week, so im considering doing a double upgrade. I will definitely do 1, but maybe 2 depending on if I have enough to get two quality players in. I'm not even bothered to work it out until teams are announced tonight.
Wow, i finally pulled every right reign this week. went porps>danger and bugg>brennan. Looking like ill get over 2500.
I did the porps to danger trade too Bloody Marc Murphy though. I traded him in really early in season. Thought he would be a great PoD in this comp, but it has just gone from bad to worse since I brought him in. Now, I'm forced to work out what to do with him
... and Overall ... <img src="http://tooserious.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/hn1dr-ROUND8-OVERALL.jpg" />
I can't lie...feels good to hit top spot, but have burnt some trades getting there. TheOnion has put a couple good scores together to climb the ladder a bit. Who still thinks they can catch me!
Thanks Wars. And well done on hitting the lead. I reckon I can still catch you. I just gotta work out what to do with Marc Murphy first ...

Don't be hiding the HotRods trades!! HOTRODZ (6) = Mohr/Jmac/Treloar/horsely/Dangerfield/Sidebottom IN, Lake/Miles/Csmith/Wingard/Hall/Fyfe OUT Surprised to see some teams still running with Csmith/Hall/Paine. I don't see them getting many more goes at it soon.
@Wars I reckon the teams settled in behind you would be fairly confident (whether they post here or not) as they would be backing their PODs to greater scorting and less inuries/suepsnsions/resting than yours between now and round 23 I think there are half a dozen teams with a real shot at the moment - my dad’s included. Of course that all changes if you smash it the next 2-3 weeks and get out to a 250-300 point lead over the bunch. Good luck !

<blockquote>Quote from warsaken on May 21, 2012, 13:39 Surprised to see some teams still running with Csmith/Hall/Paine.

I reckon other Tradings Games coaches will also be cullign their fattest cash cows (or fatetst Rd11 cash cows) first to get upgrades before the byes and keeping 1-2 trades ready to sideways trade around the strong possibility of a double donut for Csmith/Hall/Paine unless bigger priorities emerge.
Well hello, yes I've been MIA. Rattling Mudguards-Steel is me. Yep, I stuffed up on the Duckwwods. Had it all written down, but my 2am eye balls started playing tricks on me. We can work out the diff at the end of the season for correct weigtht/placings. Excellent work on the posts guys and gals. I have been going hard on the trades, learnt this of Anthak from last season. Early on for POD I was putting the C on other players, other than Ablett. Mostly players that where playing GWS and Suns. Ouch, fail. Any sub par or dead cash cows traded up to prime beef. Missed getting Horse-Horsley, but you can't get them all. Well that brings me up to date. Any questions. I promise to check in each week...hopefully
Good to have you around Thunda That means there are only 3 teams that we don't know TS names of. I wonder if GillardsBodyguard is BiPolarBear? Maybe a 3rd team
