I only had 21 as well - Luke Hodge At the start of the season i thought you had 2 trades EVERY ROUND, so I only have 2 trades left now! Very hesitant to use them

LOL! So did my friend, he now has 0 trades. What's even more hilarious is that he had Hodge as his captain, and FORGOT TO UNCAPTAIN HIM!



I had Hodge covered with a reserve, but not frickin' Torney

Gee, its lovely and sunny up here at the top..

You will still be on top, but a little less happy, after the Roos finish with the Eagles come friday night

BTW saw the Footy Show from London couple of weeks ago, with Warnie and Tuffers(Phil Tuffnel ). That was brilliant.

We don't receive the footy show here in Canberra untill 11.30 pm, so I tape it and watch it Friday night before the game. But I was greeted only with tennis coverge when I sat down to watch it last Friday I was looking forward to watching Warney too

Adelaide suck. 2nd is ridiculous.

Adelaide have skillful midfielders, are well led by a good coach, have the strongest defence in the AFL and are slowly coming good up forward. How do they suck?

They aren't a flowing, attractive, running team like St. Kilda or Fremantle, but they keep winning and those teams don't. Looking good isn't everything. Adelaide weren't the most attractive team in 1997 or 1998 either.

Very arguable. Malcolm Blight has never been one for defense-focused sides.

Because I hate them?

Heh, nevermind then. I thought you were saying they were actually a poor team and hence didn't deserve to be second.

True, but Australia weren't the most polished or most skillful side in those years. They didn't even win that many games, they just won the important ones.

Yeah, cause Australia played so many games in those years..

Heh. I mean Adelaide, obviously.

Remember that competition we had a few pages back in this thread about picking your final 8 (I think it was something like at round 9 or 10 or something). I think I'm going to come last in that

An update on that will come tonight. And in a couple of rounds, you get to make some changes. Yet to decide how many, though...

By Golly I'm kicking Hawthorn's butt right back down near the bottom where it belongs.

*shakes head for having belief in them*

I think this shows how good the draft has been for footy. Does anyone know how long the St.Kilda star will be out for? (collar bone?)

Hahahaha.. me and Benchy really suck at this ladder prediction thing. LOL!

That's because you said "just use the team i put up at the start of the year" because your lazy and we all got to pick our teams at about round 9. I might let you both have a few more changes after this round.

I reject that offer, as kind as it is. I will stick to my current crappy predictions. You never know, Adelaide might lose every game from here on in and i'll win.
