just for some balance :)

Score: 2,348
Overall Rank: 11,042 (from 9,356)
Heroes: Titch, Cripps, Maxy (C), Mundy, Shuey, Billings, Howe, Heater, Wingard, Devon
Villians: Rockliff 82, Simpson 81, Gunston 79, Dixon 76, Pendles 74, Tom Tom 74, Jelwod 71.....you are all very lucky I don't have a VFL side to drop you all too, lift or you will be traded :)
Trades Made: none
Trades Planned: Nic Nat to ??? (surely if ever Lycett is going to be a ruckmen it is now)

Comments:
Not owning a lot of the common (best players) in Laird, Danger, Oliver, Heeney etc hurts in weeks like that but still happy to get over 2300 = for only the 4th time this season, dissapointed to drop out of the 10,000 (again) but with 7 premiums scoring in the 70's and 80's that was to be expected plus the tragic injury to Nic Nat.
Was rapt in Billings, Mundy & Shuey.
After losing Fyfe and Treloar though I have now got myself 6 M8's in Selwood, Cogs, Pendles, Bont, Shuey & Rocky.
Before Nic Nat went down I was seriously looking at trading out Tom Tom and Mr Clean, who have a 5 week average of 85.8 and 83.2 respectively but with only 3 trades don't have that luxury so hopefully they can turn their scoring around.

Congratulations to all thos with monster scores and those in the Top 100 keep chasing until you can't chase anymore.

PS looking forward to watching the Lions dismantle the Crows on Saturday night, very keen to see a player I have on my 2019 watch list and see how he performs

Score: 2,395
Weekly Rank: 36,424
Overall Rank: 2,540 (From 2,035)
Points behind leader: Growing rapidly
Heroes: Danger, Titch, Cripps, Laird, Gawn, Wines, BILLINGS, ZGL (although on bench)
Villains: J Kelly, M Crouch, Jacobs, Petracca, and poor old R Gray.
Trades made: None
Trades planned: Nic Nat to rookie, Holman to Macrae
Comments: Not only scored exactly the same score as last week, but once again only 11 players getting into the hundreds shows I have plenty of concerns. Fielded the same six forwards as last week who combined for a total of 680 - this week just 468! Need to deal with Nic Nat, just not 100% how. Fortunate he is my R3, but my R2 is weak - Jacobs. Thinking of using him to get Macrae early, but still toying with possibilities across all lines.

Score : 2535
Weekly Rank : 5043
Overall : 220 (From 271)

Heroes : Tmitch VC. After seeing my opponents were locking in Danger and Cripps with loopholes, I really needed a good score to limit the damage. Little did I know he'd outscore them.
Villains : Me. Shoulda traded in Beams for Fyfe instead of M.Crouch two weeks ago it seems.

Trades made : None
Trades planned : Probably none. Maybe a little cash grab like T.Smith to O'Riordan or P.Wilson.

Comments : Lucky to dodge Nic Nat seeing as I upgraded him to Grundy only last week. I still have 6 trades left, and I doubt many above me would have more. Not sure how to use that advantage though. I still have one spot leaking points, Rocky as M8. Although I could afford Austin and Rocky to O'Riordan and Macrae this week, I'll wait a week to hopefully get a better price or other options.

I'll have to crunch the numbers to see whether I could trade down someone like T.Smith this week to get a bit of cash, and then use two rookies next week to get Macrae, so I can keep Rocky as M9. That'll leave me with 3 trades instead, but better coverage. Decisions, decisions. All you guys with no trades left don't know how easy you have it!

If there was ever a convenient injury i guess NicNat going down as your R3 would be it. It's a shame you don't have a R/F in your fwd line, because bringing in a non player at this stage sucks...unless a rookie R3 shows up this round of course.

6 trades after a NicNat to Grundy trade. Wow.

I reckon you're in a really strong position to push for top 100 with that many trades and the option to bring Macrae in would be at the top of my wish list as well. Good luck!

Strnadica some sort of chance for a game maybe. I think I read that somewhere today but can't remember where.
