Re: H.sun supercoach
Haha .. saw that. Good play, and good call on your choice for captain! Took a punt, and paid off handsomely.
I'm not really aiming for a win in the private leagues this year, but my timing hasn't been great there, sitting in mid-table despite being top or second in total points scored. Looks like my opponents choose the week they are playing me to pull a big score out of their butts!

Re: H.sun supercoach
I had a feeling Gazza wouldn't be at his best against Collingwood, that they'd tighten up on him. It was a 3 way toss-up between Hodge, Lake and Goddard, as to who'd run riot the most. Not unhappy with my decision but was bleeding on Saturday arvo that I'd gone with Goddard.Haha .. saw that. Good play, and good call on your choice for captain! Took a punt, and paid off handsomely.

Still staggered at how well my midfield and ruck division went. Got me over the line. Gary Rohan was a brilliant emergency as well. Everything just went right.Comment

I'm more concerned about Bradshaw. Don't know if I can cover him for 3 weeks. Should I try to leave him on the bench?Comment

Re: H.sun supercoach
I'm getting a bit low on trades which is a worry.
I've got Schmidt on the bench so I can afford to sit Kennelly there if I need to, but I was considering using Kennelly to cash myself up to upgrade Rioli or Gumbleton to Goodes leaving $250K to use on upgrades as I go.
I could also trade out both Rioli and Gumbleton (bench player) for Goodes and a $100K rookie.Comment

Re: H.sun supercoach
Sorry SS I will explain
Of the 20 trades you get to use through the year, most should be used to trade bench players that have increased in price to cheaper players (downgrade), then use the money made to trade players on the field to more expensive players that are scoring more (upgrade). Using trades in this way improves the scoring potential of your team.
However trades can and in some cases should be used for other purposes. Corrective or Sideways trades are when you have made a poor selection, and thus want to use a trade to bring in another player instead. It is easy to fall into the trap of using all of your trades this way, which is not likely to be as effective as using them to do downgrades & upgrades.
Some coaches reserve a couple of corrective trades for the week preceding round 3 as player performance is hard to predict pre-season, and the first two rounds will reveal some obvious errors in your team selections which you can correct before player salaries start changing after round 3
Injury trades are used to substitute players who get injured for other players. Whether or not you trade an injured player depends on how many points you think their replacement could score, whether you were going to downgrade/upgrade them anyway, how many points you think one of your bench players could score in their place (if they are selected to play) and how many weeks the injury will last for.
Riewoldt's injury was an easy choice, bringing in someone worth 600k for 12+ weeks will score a lot more than players on the bench in that period. Kennelly's injury is more marginal - he is not worth as much and did not average as many points, therefore the scores of a similarly priced replacement may not be much more than the scores of players on your bench. He is also not out for as long.
You need to keep a certain number of trades aside to be able to cover injuries, as particularly late in the season if you run out of trades you could also run out of scoring players as they are injured or not selected. You don't want to put too many aside however, as you still need to upgrade your team to improve your scores
My comment 'using an injury trade disguised as an upgrade' meant I am considering using one of my allocated injury trades on Kennelly, even though there will probably be worse injuries to higher scoring players to cover, as the trade could also include upgrading him to Gilbee. IMO, neither the injury trade nor upgrade trade are worthwhile alone, as Kennelly is not out that long and the expected scoring difference between Kennelly and Gilbee is not very high, but when considering the extra scoring of Gilbee compared to bench players whilst Kennelly is injured in addition to the extra scoring of Gilbee compared to Kennelly when he gets back, then perhaps it is worthwhile using a trade to bring Gilbee inIf you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
