Rookies, what a crapshoot.

Starters:
M Owens= Traded to N Martin in RD2= $14,900
B Hough= Still holding but price has only increased by $29,900
F Maginness= Traded to H Dixon in RD5 for a cost of $1,700
J Ward= Traded to P Cripps in RD3 @ $454,800
D Stephens= Traded to T Dow in RD3 for $3,300

RD3:
S Skinner= To fund M McGovern and J Ward to P Cripps and I Heeney, Rich was traded to Skinner. The alternative at that time was N O’Driscoll. Skinner then traded to N O’Driscoll in RD5 for a cost of $43,800.

RD8:
H Dixon traded to C Hamilton with Hamilton omitted in RD10.

RD9:
M Rioli= 7 scored

What a relief for the pricing and performance of the likes of W Brodie and B Preuss.
New additions since that post:
RD10:
R Thompson= Injury

RD11:
Out: B Hough, In: C Stephens (and fielded over G Clark)

:rolleyes:

Aggressive upgrading of my team, but Zorko 37, Heeney 53 and Petracca 53 all getting out scored by rookies, what’s the point.

Lost all my league matches and they had one or two extra rookies on field than mine and fell 5000 places.

Very frustrating game at times.

Luke McDonald.

Brought in at $375k in round 6.
7 rounds from 6-12 - 703 @ 100.4. Massive win for the price.
Yesterday 24. Now it's 727 @ 90.9. Doesn't feel so good now!
Just trade him out for someone better I say, someone who will finish your season off without worry. He did a good job for those 7 weeks.

Preuss not selected
Owens (traded in) subbed/concussed 26

Round 14 - ???
Owens concussed
Clark dropped
Khamis dropped
Rosas crook
Rioli sub - 10 mins 25
Butters subbed 50ish
Teakled injured and done 20ish

Still 3 games to go…:rolleyes:

check scores at quarter time…

Great to see Butters on fire on 58….( glad I kept him)

brought in Teakle (22 off 5) only need him to score 60 this week to cover my rucks….

10 minutes later…

both injured and out of the game…..

and then that menace Hewitt whom I traded decides he will start to play again…

such a game of luck sometimes I wish you could delete your team and start again…..
