    TLT as good as I could hope for after the Teddy/Latrell news. Still wary of late restings, probably SJ, but I guess we'll just see what happens.

    Latrell to.. someone. that gives me 17.

    Bit annoying Ramien is last game of the round.

    Teddy will next trade out if there's any random restings an hour before kick off. Will probably put Lemu (or SJ?) at 18 and give flexibilty to rage trade teddy to avoid a low score.

    I'd like to get him, especially because he's sure to towel up the Dragons in the final round, but would leave me with zero bank to work with for my final trade so feel the $150k itb from Walsh could prove very valuable.

    Team name for next year Dragons is a good matchup

    Apparently Garrick is keen to play with a needle but Manly aren't sure....mmmmm (SMH source)

    Might hold out on a trade to Dane until the last minute

    Bit of a shitter, but reckon you're still a good chance.

    Obvs Manu is a worry at FB, but its no sure thing..

    Its basically Bula/Penis vs Manu/Timoko. You can hope that they almost cancel each other out.

    Then Haas vs 148 points.. tricky but on averages you'll be ok there.

    Tbh, probably comes right down to the wire if nothing unforeseen occurs with HIAs/restings. Timoko in the very last game of the season might decide it all

    (i have no idea what any teams below that are doing)

    Dynamic could change as second has two trades left and doesn't actually need to make trades this week. Has 20 starters somehow. Could even trade in a Bunny to loop or just finesse his team next week, getting rid of Hopgood etc.

    Of course, the trades could weaken his team not strengthen it. Gonna be tight.

    Don't think there's much danger of being caught by anyone below that.

    I've got $3.18 million in cap space unavailable this week and will probably use my final trade on Garrick to someone to get 17 on the park.

    Hopefully Tedesco is back next week and there are no more injuries, suspensions, or restings of my players cause I'll have a maximum of 17 available for the final round as is.

    Just traded Penis to Manu

    Feels like an upgrade this week and next, although also feels a bit greedy to trade out a green dot

    1 trade left for next week, probably Hopgood to nearly anyone 

    Hoping to push top 40. Was 45th 4 weeks ago, currently 56th

    Got hit with the Garrick/Teddy combo to go with the others the past couple of weeks and it's all caught up.
    Only so much depth you can carry and thought 3 DPP players averaging 40+ on the NPR bench would be enough

    Teams are the same with second except Bula/Penisini + 148pts vs Haas/Timoko/Manu
    Then there is next week too, so not just numbers but quality of players too

    To go with all the injuries copping x2 Lemuelu HIA scores and the eels poor run of form hasn't helped either

    Will have to see how this plays out but has been a fun journey
    All the best with the final 2 rounds of the season

    148 points is like 3 extra players, hang in there buddy

    Bit of a soap opera vibe about the Bunnies at the moment (using my months worth of free SMH articles 🙃)
    Morris and Burgess getting the arse today or planning some gardening until the end of the season at the very least

    Garrick to Manu reversed.. Though seems crazy to risk him with that injury. Was warming to the idea of VTW to Tracey additionally too.

    Sandon to Weaver and VTW to Manu might be alright. Gives me 17 if Garrick doesn't play, but can hold him along with Teddy, Murray and McLean for some chance of fielding 17 next week.

    Garrick to Manu and Teddy to Carrigan is the more fuck it, I'm going balls deep into the Eliminator play. Leaves me pretty thin for next week though.

    The Eliminator is the prestige comp unless you're actually in with a shot of first overall.

    Yeah no one's gonna give a shit if I finish top 250-350, but winning the Eliminator etches your name in digital stone.

    Teddy and Grant are my sole survivors from Rd 1, so some attachment there and I reckon Teddy would play this week if not being upgraded to Cat 1.

    I was hoping to get a few scores locked in before making a decision, but looks like only my Yeo and ET's Harris playing early enough.

    Just noticed this topic is on page 17, which is not the number of green dots I have, so needle up Garrick!

    Still seems utterly crazy that there was no punishment for the Garrick tackle, regardless of the fact that he was in the air and the ball had bounced the onus should still be on the defending player to take him to ground safely.

    It is a completely different situation someone being driven into the ground on their back in a tackle compared to losing their legs mid air and landing on their back and Garricks broken back proves that. Those type of tackles are why tunneling has been banned in the AFL for over a decade now.

    If Simonsson and Cheese don’t pull through this week with 45+ scores Haas and Drinkwater will be coming in.

    Or do I just bring them in anyway?

    Who out? How many trades left? And how many Eels?

    Without knowing that…

    I’d say Haas seems like a no brainer upgrade on nearly anyone - would think 45 is the floor for him. 

    Drink maybe more risky - has got a 20-30 in him like all WFB

    If you can upgrade Simo there's not much point waiting as he's redundant next week anyway.

    3 trades left and will be Murray and Teddy leaving the team. 

    Murray to another MID is a must do but Teddy can become a WFB/CTR

    If you can bring in Haas I'm not sure why you wouldn't. Drinky is more 50/50.

    You could wait n see on murray to haas by having a look at what BS9 scores.. assuming youre online saturday for those games

    You could also just fuck off simonsson to whoever you can afford (while leaving cash for the above trade) eg can you afford HTF ? could be a fun gamble. Daine laurie has scored well at 5/8.. etc

    Could also backfire, simo scored better at ctr as well.

    Tbh id just wait n see on what simo scores and flick teddy if needed
