Tough gig isn't it - with byes/subs and injuries.

Selwood - my best player - goes down in the fist quarter. 1 out of 11 is pretty big!

This year is a bit odd like that. I guess it will help those that can wheel and deal well to keep their team up to scratch.

Thanks JA & now the break down of the % column & I think I got it under control.

Bloody Neon Leons late withdrawal is going to hurt me this round.

I stuffed up with my forwards, now I am at least one player down this week. The Thursday night game killed me, normally you can check to see if your players are playing on Friday on the site and it only takes a second or two.

That hurts. But if you can sneak away with it this week, you'll love having him for the rest of the year...

I'd like to announce a guy I picked up as last pick in BOTH drafts this year for me... Shaun McKernan... even though he's only a forward on the list, he's kicking goals, getting touches and playing as backup ruckman racking up 10-15 hitouts.

Going to be a VERY good pickup. Might be interested in a trade when I need one too, since I already have Sandi...

Fear me people.... fear me.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

rpfc, gonna be an interesting day tomorrow.

I have got you on accuracy, hitouts, handballs and frees against... But you could catch me on all of the other ones.

[H_T 3,049]

No it wouldn't be!

I'm kidding.

He kicked 3 or 4 last year in a 73 point defeat. I'd be happy with that sort of return. Wouldn't you ??

If it happens again tomorrow I'll shout you 3 pints. 3.

[Mad_Melbourne 877]

im intimidated coming up against dappa dan, with sandilands in the ruck and mcevoy as his utilities, hit outs is a lost cause :|

[Sideshow Bob 2,416]

Very happy to sneak a win JA. Also very happy that my round 2 draft pick, big dean cox is now the #1 ranked player in the comp. Now to work on the plan for RR

Poor effort from the Jackattacks in round 1, expect a tough week on the track.

Not sure what I was doing playing Petrie!

[jayceebee31 761]

Hopefully he can't!

He did a little bit- congrats HT on your first WIN, very lucky although, due to Luke Powers being a late withdrawal, will catch up next time.

Happy to get away with the win in a tight contest with Old Man Rivers over the weekend. Love the way the scoring works ...

I am in the market or a ruckman though. Any trade offer will be considered ...

Well done Range Rover

It was a very tight tussle.

One defender short hurt me in the end once Leon Davis bailed.

Came down to 3 kicks - 1 Tackle - 1 accurate shot at goal.

Who would of thought Boomer Harvey would of had such a Barry Crocker

Look forward to the re-match

Cheers

Good trade for both of us there OldMan, nice doing business with you!

I can only imagine someone like Eddie Betts will have an absolute pearler the week i verse you though!!

[JACKATTACK 17]

A controversial trade has been accepted.

I fail to see how Robby Gray (proj;187, 2011avg;86) is a fair swap for Ryder (17,7).

I have voted against this trade, and I recommend other Demonland1 coaches do the same unless one or both of Robbo/SnomeD can convince us how this trade is fair.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Voted against too...

You can't allow someone who has lost interest in the game to give players up in easy trades just cos they don't care anymore. Robbo and SnomeD, feel free to rebut... Make your case.

[H_T 3,049]

Who has lost interest in the game and doesn't care ?

I'll wait to hear from both of them and their reasoning for the trade in question.

Btw, is scarlett around ? check your offers mate.

Robbie Gray has moved into the midfield this year.

I imagine it's just poor judgement in the case of whoever is giving up Ryder.

Was Ryder 17,7 before last weekend ?

[JACKATTACK 17]

Was Ryder 17,7 before last weekend ?

His projected ranking won't change, is actual ranking was much lower for the start of the year but was bumped up considerably through the pre-season. You can check his actual average ranking from 2010 in the player section.

At a glance Snome D has two Ruckman left who will play - Hawkins & Graham

His forward line looks very thin

I can almost see his thinking

I will wait to hear the boys explanations before Voting

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Who has lost interest in the game and doesn't care ?

Not saying anyone has yet, but it's a common occurence. At certain points in the season people realise they can't make a meaningful shot at it... and they get convinced for whatever reason to make bad trades.

I'll wait to hear from both of them and their reasoning for the trade in question.

Absolutely.

Was Ryder 17,7 before last weekend ?

He was always ranked in the top twenty in the pre-season.

Almost. But can't quite get there. Hawkins and Graham are list cloggers. Ryder is a UF matchwinner. You don't trade him for anything beyond about a 50th rank... and that's pushing it. Grey's just another player.

I will wait to hear the boys explanations before Voting

For sure. No-one's getting carried away here, but an explanation is called for.

Having done this once already last season, JA and I know that this only gets worse as the season drags on. We all have all week to come up with trades, and it's SO easy for the competition to get compromised. It's only our experience that's led us to raise the red flag here.

[H_T 3,049]

I'm a little surprised that the trade got vetoed without input from either robbo24 or snomeD.

It's my contention that on face value the trade of Gray for Ryder may seem a little slanted one way, but if there is a basis for a need-need trade between two teams, we should consider each coach's position on the matter.

I understand that there is actual and projected rankings, and in this case the rankings were different, but really they are both important players for their respective sides one a fwd (x factor), one a ruck. ie. one can kick goals, the other for hit outs and marks.

Is there room for a need for a need trade, or should all trades be considered ok just for their ranking similarities ?

I think it's worth discussing !

PS. I represent the UFPA.....

[rpfc 28,779]

I'm new to this game, but that refusal of trade was the stupidest thing I have ever seen on a fantasy sporting comp.

I mean it is round 1 - we're not tired of the game.

And we are all psoting on a footy forum - we are quite committed to the sport in question.

There is little reason to veto trades when you have this dynamic.

That trade should have gone through.
