    Looks like I've lost 13 points on most of you. I didnt move terlich to the bench and bring mitchell on. The 1st of my death by a 1000 cuts! Anyone considering trades this week? Grabbing GAJ?? I know a few will be straight after him :)

    There is not even enough cash generated by downgrading Whitfield and upgrading Dangerfield to bring Ablett in! Means getting him before first price change would require wholesale slaughter of the structure. Given how many non-playing rookies are in the starting 30, surely it is a safer policy to secure some more cash cows with the first four trades. At least that's the way I'm looking at it. Chasing last week's points seems like the wrong approach.

Seven donuts is far too many to carry, though I suspect at least 2 of those will play this week in Crouch & Terlich.

You're correct, I'd forgotten the $85k in hand when I did the sums in my head at the time. Whitfield -&amp;gt; Wines and Dangerfield -&amp;gt; Ablett leaves $11k in hand. Seems like a reasonable idea, but definitely too early in the week to pull the trigger.

Out: Bartel + Fyfe In: Ablett + Monfries My student also has the reset button on standby in case Gus doesn't play, but he just gotscored 112and has GWS next.

This one requires a couple of people(1 of terlich/Vlastuin/Colq & burger) to get named this week but how about
    Noughton&amp;gt;Ablett(Colq to def via MPP) Ryder&amp;gt;Burger
    Still 50k left over.

    Something to consider that will affect our trading strategy... Who is the winner? The player with the highest total score after round 23, or the actual winner of the league grand final?
    It would seem that the best trader would be the player with the highest total, but I like the idea of players actually competing in a proper finals series.
    Thoughts?

Thoughts? @mad matigan - the idea is toget the most points/best overall position, this year we have around 23 competing across 2 leagues, last year it was 30 across 3 leageus with several doubling up, as people lose interest the leagues become compromised so dont mean much given our weak start due to naming our team so ealry a top 10k position could be a decent effort, good luck mate !
