Could we re-title this thread 'Learning to Cry' REB?



Seeing as I'm naming them after songs this year I'm open to 'crying' song suggestions. My Straycat Strut side has been in the wars right from the start. Going so badly there I haven't even cracked 2 grand yet. Embarasking.

regards,

REB


I could start with the Big O. "Crying....over 2 (trades)"




Thats me every year, top 4 out in straight sets

Im working on operation get Maxy. Can take him this week or next without sacrificing too much, looking at moving on a mid price fwd to achieve it. Providing there is no real bad scores from players i want to move on ill get him with about 20k spare


I think im nearly ready to settle on Rowell to Aarts, Cumming to Haynes
Next week D.Smith to Rankine, Pittonet to Gawn. Hopefully Rankine shows something
Not sure there will be a better time to get Gawn

The backline is pure horse shit this year, the two certainty rookies played round 1 and haven't been seen since, I'm taking donuts back there because if I burn a trade I'll only score 35 or something like that anyway.


Yeah, have got all eight forwards playing this week, but cant cobble together better than five defenders, even after using both trades

You don't have Matt Rowell then?


Yeah sure do, but the bar is low...i'd be happy with only having to use one trade through need...rather than both like the last few weeks


Nope...used both trades and still have only five defenders playing :(

If it was raining nipples I'd get hit by an arsehole, the only positive I took out of the weekend is that I don't own Hayden Young.

I did. I also had Heeney, Docherty, Hurn, McCluggage, Cripps, D Smith, MacPherson, Marshall, Butler, Rozee and Taylor helping Hayden Young and his solitary handball - players who have all given me great scores on occasions this season but for Round 6 contributed not much in my team score of 1622 - I lost to my daughter for the first time ever in fantasy footy history - she had been trying for a decade to beat me in a h2h game...
