My son took a similar approach, aiming to generate as much $$ as possible over the coming rounds. Vlastuin and Karnezis out for Stevenson and Dwyer.
My son made his first upgrade... Ryder out for Leuenberger (of course he kicked the winner!) and brought in Watson for K. Mitchell... *sigh* 67! Seriously? Looking long term, happy with both trades, but it's always nice when they pay off straight away!
My dad Went karnezis to dwyer, has jpk as vice with cotchin as captain, considering whether to lock in or use the capt loophole in the mids
Well my Mrs managed to put the VC on Cox, but as she failed to log in before the WC/Mel & Syd/NM games she failed to she she left C on Kennedy. Not terrible, but it doesn't help.
My daughter went Karnezis to Dwyer and Mitchell to Dixon. Looked a lot cleverer before Bluey hooked Dixon...
/Portals/0/User%20Images/tradesR2.jpg' style='width: 324px; height: 118px; Looks like Varcoe is in might sights for the chop next week.
There will be a new leader after this weeks scores are tallied. <br/> <br/>Stripey Action have torn it up, will be interesting to see if that is enough for the #1 position or not
Nett benefit of two trades last week... Burned through nearly all my Broughton dosh and LOST 5 points on last week's score! Oh, and brought in a so called rock, solid lock in Watson who will, of course, now lose value anyway!
Proud to announce I am currently in 18th place and also with lowest score in [ts]TradingGames 1. It took great skill to achieve this and I challenge all other Traders to come get me. Its a real honor to be last in a great comp (ranked 491 overall). I would like to thank my parents, but also the genius move of Ryder to Leuey freeing up $386K in unused cash that I will now waste on more dodgy trades this week. Congrats to the 3 players who got 2290 or more : Jasper Beardly, Y-Nots and Kwijibo, come on down !
Very happy to be leading this esteemed group at this stage...Have traded hard to fix up a few things and cant see that changing this weekend with Varcoe and perhaps Vlastuin also on the chopping block...ROUND 3OUT Mitchell ($126,200) IN Mullett ($279,100)OUT Karnezis ($262,200) IN Neade ($115,900)ROUND 2OUT Lee ($115,900) IN Dwyer ($96,200)OUT Colquhoun ($109,500) IN Wines ($169,500)
Well, unless there are any surprises when teams are announced, I think my Mrs already has her two trades figured out this week.
Follow me if you dare, this weeks trades are: Varcoe to Mayes Ryder to McEvoy You'd be mad if you didn't.wouldn'tyou??
Interesting, the trades I've seen made so far seem from others in the group seems to be the reason we hear year in/year out that you do not trade after round 1! Geary, Dixon (out injured), Hartlet, Watson, Cotchin out (139), Ablet In (very sub par; Glad whoever it was that DEMANDED he be in was overruled and we started without him!), Fyfe Out (127/129). My Mother's trades so far have not been great either (but no fully awful ones i think): <table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' class='data condense standalone' width='100%' style='font-size: 11px; line-height: 1;

Presenting well researched facts in support of an argument is not demanding... Can I also add that writing GAblett off after a couple of low games is 'dicey'. He did punch out a lazy 170+ in round 1...
He's not my captain this week and my student's seriously considering dropping him again. But I know if I drop him, he'll come good that very round. He's got GWS in R5 so he'll keep him for now. Plus I've used up both trades. For the 2nd week in a row my student's captain is not a midfielder... BrockyFreo, I might also add that Ablett wasn't selected because the timing would be a POD.
at this stage my dad is trading out varcoe tonight for LEUNBERGER and ryder tomorrow afternoon for WESTHOFF
My Sri Lankan half brother has some spare cash and he is in love with a bearded lady. I am worried he will trade in No. 39 from the Power.
