probably shows you’ve sideways traded less than the rest of us. How many do you have left?

6 but will be using 2 this week to get to my final 17 for the run home.

this must be the first time I’ve caught them all.

I've had them all at some point except Kodi and Crossland. But I sold Blore after R1... had no idea he ended up making 340k.

Apart from Crossland I’ve owned em all at various stages of the year. Nice list

1. Preston
2. Cartwright
3. Hopgood
4. Blore
5. Bula
6. SJ
7. Kodi
8. Ford
9. Horsburgh
10. Crossland

Had them all except for Ford and Blore.

Have felt like I have really missed out on Ford for most the year also probably sold Preston earlier than I needed to

I haven't had Blore, Xland or Horse

Horse being the only one of those I deeply regret

Here I am getting belted out of the eliminator by a guy who doesn’t own the best player in the game.
Please get him now so you can win it all and I feel like less of a shitto.

I'm getting Cleary FOMO.

Current trades: Preston+Harris+Bula+Hands to Garrick+Yeo+Cleary+(insert $220k looper)

I played golf last Thursday, according to the BOM, it was minus 8, feels like minus 11.
For comparison, I’m mid 50’s, only slightly overweight, don’t drink coffee and can’t stand wine, of any variety.

May I introduce you to some of the good stuff

Spoiler:

I’ve never done Blore or Crossland… or Carty.

If there was a “no Party” league, I think I’d be winning or close. Can’t imagine too many above me never owned at all

No Horse? Amazing. Proof there’s more than one way to skin a cat in this game.

Had Carty but never had Blore, Crossland or Horse (until last week).

Also never had Hosking but even without Horse and Hosking I was still right up the top end of team value somehow through the middle part of the season.

Think this year moreso than others there’s been a few keepers that people aren’t selling that may not be on list but have risen 200k+ since bottoming out (Ponga, Drinkwater, JDB, SJ, Horse, Hopgood, Lemuelu went over 200k gain at one stage)

Knights have Raiders, Dogs, Dolphins, Dragons, Rabbitohs and Sharks on run home.

Marzhew has scored 45 or higher in 10 out of 14 games this year and is avg 54.5 for the season with 200 metres and 9 tackle breaks on avg a game.

Probably not mad, just a little bit wacky.

Community team captain

I’ve ended up on Tohu to Latrell because might as well go for the upside play

Sounds like a bitter sweet defeat when you're annihilated 1400 to 1200 then? In all seriousness it's going to be super tight, going to be a battle of the CTR/WFBs and DCE vs Robson by the looks!

this.

people still getting caught up in this 'pod' nonsense.

whoever scores the most points are the best players to have. apparently the players who score the most points are reasonably popular selections

you can still make good ground against other teams even if teams are reasonably similar.

Whilst I generally agree with this sentiment, I think there are a couple of times where its useful

Namely, for the people chasing booze for 1st overall, its probably worth considering Booze's team when making trades.
Although there's probably still enough weeks to go that picking the high scoring player is the best move, as we get closer to the end, they may have to pick a POD to give themselves a chance.

(I'm also picking a POD captain this week as I think its my best chance of winning the monthly)

You and me Robel, it's a Christmas miracle we're as high as we are
