Ideally I’d like to have at least one trade if I advance to a Grand Final – but yes, it’s a difficult situation and you’re right – I don’t want to be eliminated knowing I could have done something more.

Thinking of Aaron Davey to Riewoldt this week, then my boy Kade Simpson to Jimmy Bartel the week after.

This leaves 5 trades entering first week of finals, and given I am on track to finish top 2 – this gaurantees I can use at least 4 out of remaining 5 trades in finals all going well.

Boy, this is a complicated game!

It’d be crazy to have trades and cash left over at the end anyway! If a league win is your aim nothing worse than getting bundled out with trades and cash up your sleeve, especially if you have a narrow loss.

Thanks Dan – 7 trades + $400K up my sleeve. Puts me in a good position, but for the first time I’m not the top team in my work competition so I may need every last trade and every last cent to finalise my team!

Not bad Luke. How many trades have you got left? We’ve been discussing the last couple of weeks what to do with my Player Of The Week articles to keep them relevant. While most of us are going for league rankings there are a heap of people gearing up for a finals charge and have been saving trades. I might just continue POTW articles as they have been for this reason…at least for a few more weeks.

Hey guys,

A decent s core of 2,112 for me this week. That’s including no cover for Dean Cox in ruck, Ballantyne covering for Pavlich and Rance covering for Adcock.

I have trades to fix all three issues so I’m not too worried at the moment (I’m ranked at around 9,000).

My work DT league is my priority. :)

Cheers,

Luke

2260

Ranked 444

Had Didak as captain – Didn’t handle the tag.

Got lucky with Coughlan getting 71 saved me from getting a Zero with Bartel having a week off.

Still trying to hang in there now that I’ve run out of trades with another 6 weeks to go.

You jinxed him Dan! 2122 with a 0 (Steve J) for me.

Didak was well and truly tagged out of the game, though I guess a lot of people have him. I just hope the match review panel doesn’t see anything in there worthy of a suspension. Fingers crossed.

2222. It seemed to be a fairly high scoring week based on what a few of my mates got. I know two blokes who topped 2400. I guess there were a few landmines to dodge though (Didak captain, cover for Bartel, Pav, Stevie J). Owners of ROK would be laughing this week!

Sorry I broke Tippett, Toby.

And it looks like Van Berlo is a late withdrawal for Adelaide… Bad news for those already playing with some mids down!
