Make no mistake, I'm shit at SC. Most weeks I forget about it, and have some players in the side who aren't playing. That said, I'm amazed I've actually won some games.

I did bring Wood in this week. Nason made way.
Midfield trade time:
One of Judd, Montagna, Boyd or Dal Santo - who do I go?
I already have Cooney & Griffen so I don't want to be too reliant on Dogs players, but this week is the key, I need a big score.
Judd or Boyd. I know they're rumors but they've been hinting about resting Saints players for a while now. I'm keeping everything crossed for tonight and Joey isn't a late scratching. I'm out of contention in the Doggies league but I'm playing for a spot in the 8 in another.
I know who I'd go for and it's neither of those two (had to make the same choice in the middle rounds), but then again I went for a MPP flexibility strategy so that I could go hard with trades earlier and capitalise on some underpriced premiums so I probably don't have the strongest possible mid-6 (they still pulled out 1000 points between them last week despite one of them only getting a 49).
Basically, if you look at the respective players' teams' run home, you will have your answer, and since Mantis's question is only for this week, just look at the teamsheets.
I'm swearing off talking about Supercoach forthwith as I don't want to jinx the run home. Fingers crossed, wood touching, all that.
I had a choice of those players a few weeks ago and went with Montagna. The Saints run home got him over the line against someone like Judd. It's just the the resting players thing has me concerned and being an owner of Montagna I'm sure it will happen just to put the nail in my miserable SC coffin for 2010.
Speaking of Juddy, and since it's not really a Supercoach issue I'll say it: anyone still questioning the call I made at the start of the season that Swan was a better CURRENT player? No doubt historically Juddy will be remembered as one of the greats, but last season + this season, I just don't see how anyone can even reasonably compare the two. Juddy is a standout in a mediocre team, Swan is the uber-consistent week-in week-out, contest after contest go-to man in a premiership contender.
They'll also go head-to-head at some point this weekend, which will be pretty cool.
Just swapped Maguire and Podsiadly for Easton Wood and Nick Riweoldt.
Thank god Browny has come good again and repayed the faith. Is a shame i had to trade Rockliffe for Riewoldt as i was just short of being able to trade Pods for him.
My life is a very complicated drinking game.
