SUPERCOACH 2013

Looks like Daisy will have a long lay-off so the poor suckers who picked him up will need to trade him out again. A straight swap with Franklin or Priddis would seem like the best alternative.

That would be me. I wanted Buddy any way but I wanted Daisy. I hate this game sometimes.

any confirmation that he is out yet, or for how long?

if he is out for just a few weeks i might carry him.

Two weeks is the bare minimum, I just think these time frames should be taken with a grain of salt. Beams has been listed as 2-3 weeks for a month now, ankles can be fickle as well.

Anyway, I will hold for now, my priority is to cash in my Port rookies and grab Priddis. Deledio is also looking irresistible next week.

How many trades does everybody have left? I've been busy only 19 left

18 after this week, not too worried as my primary aim is to get a full team of premiums and a couple of solid back-ups. I will probably have 8 trades left by round 14.
 
what downgrade options are there? thurlow, staker, kennedy? who are people looking at?

This is an awkward week because there's no obvious bubble boys. It goes against one of my golden rules but I'm going Staker, despite the fact that he hasn't played a game yet.

For me , it's all about job security and Staker is definitely in Brisbane's starting line-up. He's already played 3 games at reserves level and he offers excellent flexibility given his dual position status. This comes in handy even in the event he initially bombs, he can basically be hidden on the bench at either end of the ground.

Just a word of warning, wait until the final team is announced just to ensure he's not sub, if he is then consider going for Thurlow, but there's also a risk he could also be named as a sub.
 
yeah, the rookies are drying up and I've got a stockpile of them i need to get rid of - especially Port players. was looking at sierakowski but he's been dropped. who would thurlow be competing with? Rivers and Hunt would be his main threats. seems chris scott likes to give kids a go.

Thurlow looked great in his first game but can he string 5 games together? This is the great unknown and given I also have Docherty accumulating cobwebs, I simply can't afford any other passengers in the backline. I just hope my hand isn't forced if Staker is named as sub, this week has the potential to turn very pear shaped.
 
FFS i brought Daisy in and down he went, i trade in Stevie J and now he's a late withdrawl.

Next week i'll post up early what trades i'm doing so you can all avoid the player i pick up

Hehe, I considered getting Stevie J but ended up going Wines to Priddis and Neade to Ben Kennedy.

250k in the bank which will be handy next week.
 
Not a brilliant week for me, but I guess not too bad considering I was missing Gibbs, Shaw and Daisy. Overall ranking is 399 so I'm hanging in there, despite dropping a couple of hundred places.

This week will see me shed Daisy & Stephenson, bringing in Thurlow and Deledio. Lids is bargain basement at $544,000 and will round out my midfield until I upgrade O'Meara in round 13.
 
2266 this week that bought me into 897 overall.

Cutting Stevenson for Thurlow or Webster and maybe O'Meara for Watson.

Bully, you think Thurlow plays enough game for value? That's why I am leaning towards Webster. He'll play the rest of the way.
