After spending a good portion of the year in the top 500; my ranking is now officially in free-fall (on the back of a few horrible weeks). After hopes of overall drifted away with my early-season frivolous spending of trades; I decided to take a few deep breaths, grit my teeth, and bear a couple of donuts whilst focusing on leagues.
I've dropped about 500 places overall, and now find myself sitting 556th. Have decided to use my last two trades to turn Ablett into Rocklobster and possibly Gardiner into McVeigh - leaving me to battle along with:
Defenders: Swallow, McVeigh, Simpson, Hurn, Hanley, Hibberd (Jaensch, Langdon)
Midfielders: Dependlebury, Rocklobster, Liberatore, Selwood, Beams, S Johnson, Murphy, Zorko (Swan, J Hunt)
Rucks: Sandilands, Lobbe (Brown, King)
Forwards: Dangermouse, Harvey, D Martin, Franklin, Gunshow, S Martin (T Walker, Honeychurch)
I reckon a position on the Board of this club is appropriate for me!

Well here im again
9 weeks and i was flying was ranked 540 overall and feeling good about The Muppets for 2014.
Then i made mistake after mistake and the trades took a beating to which i am now out and left with a unfinished looking side with a big turd stinking on the bench
Def - Mcveigh, Bartel, Hibberd, Hanley, Swallow, Adcock,
Lumumba, bews
Mid- Pendles, Fyfe, Selwood, Sloane, Beams, Goddard, Murphy, Swan,
Honeychurch, Hunt
Rck- Sandi, Nicnat, Holmes, King
Fwd- Dangerfield, Martin, Franklin, Pav, Wingard, Lecra,
Ambrose, Cameron
Six mistakes that stuffed me -
1/ Round 9 trade ins of Swan & Cotchin
2/ Round 12 trade out of Jacobs (last game sunday ankle injury scare)
3/ Round 12 trade in of Nicnat (thought he was on up- lasted 3 weeks)
4/ Having No Ruck back up to cover injury or injury scares
5/ Trading in Pods instead of the generic players - lecra over gray
6/ Not holding onto mid price selections long enough , biggest 1 would have been Guthrie as i had him down as a good stepping stone but then got scared when he was shutdown tagger in early rounds.
was a few more mistakes but think those 6 were the worst
Hasn't been all doom and gloom as i have achieved my highest ever ranking postion (540) and have been in the top 10k for the whole season (hopefully wont full out) learnt some more lessons and i know that ever since i found this little gem of a site my ranking has improved every year

With Swan departing and Liberatore joining the team I have somewhat reluctantly collected my membership at the front door. Leaves me with:
Def - Mcveigh, Bartel, Birchall, Hanley, Mackie, Seedsman,
Gardiner, Aylett
Mid- Pendles, Fyfe, Selwood, JPK, Beams, Liberatore, Stevie J, Barlow,
Shenton, O'Brien
Rck- Sandi, Jacobs, Currie, King
Fwd- Dangerfield, Martin, Westhoff, Pav, Roughead, Stef Martin,
Wingard, Spina
Those in red, a whopping 11, have been there, for better or for worse since the start.

I have joined the club once again at the same time as last year. Walker was the last hit i could take. A little different this year as i think my team is better then last year but i think i will fall out of the top 100 by the end and I'm hoping to hold on to a top 500 finish for the third time in a row.
Defence- Swallow, Malceski, Bartel, Hanley, Hibberd, Mitchell (Gardiner, Bews)
Gardiner the only back up so hope he holds his spot. Mitchell could be someone else by tomorrow night.
Midfield- Pendlebury, Kennedy, Selwood, Sloane, Beams, Cotchin, Murphy, Griffen (Shenton, O'Brien)
Griffen ever plays so i swing Shenton with Wingard to cover him. Cotchin Is improving so that helps. But all in all i would say this is a strong line.
Ruck- Minson, Sandilands (Martin, King)
I have the Martin swing and he normally plays in the forward line but with Sandi out he can cover. Helps alot and cant see myself getting a donut here.
Forward- Harvey, Dangerfield, Martin, Franklin, Pavlich, Wingard (Cameron, Brown)
Not a huge fan of this forward line but at least i have the swing to cover the donuts. Martin would take Wingards spot or would use the Cameron loop.
There you go final team with 160k in the bank. So me being here in same spot last two years i recon i would be on the board of the no trades club.
