Round 5 - Teams, Trades & Discussion.

Lol. Classic name! Looks like a typo. Yeah, haven't heard much about Staley to be honest.

Me neither, but was the cheapest FWD/RUCK MPP I could find for flexibility.

I always check the weekly In The Mix article to see if my "untried" rookies are a shot at getting a game.

No mention of Staley there. Mind you, no mention of Ledger either. Ack!

Stanton as captain is a rookie error

He has proven nothing

Eh?

Agreed... he is the ultimate spud, give you 170+ one week & then screw you for the next 3 weeks... you will trade him out, then he will smash it with 150+ for the next two weeks. He should be put in the same category as Shaun Higgins - avoid at all costs

Got Swan as VC in both DT and SC, just got to find a Donut to put the big C on

Exactly why I stayed away. Once bitten...

Great. Why couldn't all of you muppets have posted this two days ago.

Thought it was common knowledge. Was no surprise to see him post massive totals in recent weeks, also not surprised to see him get tagged out of it on Tuesday.

More teams will tag him again. Watch it happen.

Proven nothing is a bit harsh, I tend to stay well clear of him due to the reasons you stated, for some pathetic reason I got sucked in again, he's good at being a late withdrawal aswell.

I think Stanton needs Watson to be at the top of his game too so he can get the ball out to Stanton. If Watson has an off day, so does Stanton

I just noticed your VC on Swan that in our league match up .. bugger for me. I do have Pendles' 140 though. Did you trade Ablett out or not have him at all?

[JK]

569 from 3 players, not upset with that start

Is that Swan C, Pendlebury and M Clarke?

Yeah bud, granted a coupla heavyweights there but ya still worry they'll actually play to their expected level

Sandilands out.
Griffen in.

Griffen has an injury cloud over him aswell.

This is working well I just have to think of getting a player and they go out, at least this is better than after the trade. Now who else can I curse I need a backman to replace Carrazzo mmmmmmmm Scotland, Goddard, Suckling, Drummond……

Dont get Suckling, I'm trading him in this week, so 100% certain to miss next game.

Had a Shiel -> Treloar trade teed up all week to open up a MPP spot in my mids so i could then trade
Fyfe -> Swan

wednesday morning I decided against the 2nd half of the trade as the news on GAJ was not so great and i didnt want 600k+ on my bench, Fyfe was posted 'in the mix' so I have decided to hold onto him for now.
I will be trading GAJ back in when he returns as you cant afford to not have him!
