Rash M, team name of coolcoolcool has a different team to the rest of us, any way we can kick him out of the group?

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.

Be so handy to have more then 2 trades per week, trying to figure out how to bring in a few better cash cows and get Ablett in.. tough choices haha

You're correct, I'd forgotten the $85k in hand when I did the sums in my head at the time. Whitfield -&gt; Wines and Dangerfield -&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&gt;Ablett(Colq to def via MPP) Ryder&gt;Burger Still 50k left over.
Guessing we have to post what trades we do into here? Think we are all having the same sort of thoughts anyway (Anything to get Ablett in)
Isnt the aim to outtrade each other? If we post our trades here that's compromised, pretty sure we talk crap and trade under the blanket system wont let anyone cheat now..

No way you were anything but telling a porky above, why would you want Ablett in your team this week...

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 !
