Round 9 Preview

The boys deliver the flattest episode of the year, due to Beau's wisdom teeth being removed. Alvi and the injury-listed Beau discuss what to do with Jobe Watson, how good Robin Nahas has been and all the regular segments.

On reflection, maybe it should have been Cashcow's turn for the bye...

Round 3 Preview

The boys produce the sharpest episode of the year with the return of a favourite segment, Boys on the bubble. We discuss what to do with the likes of Ed Curnow, Tom Liberatore and Luke Tapscott while managing to whinge about the exclusion of Josh Fraser.

More importantly, Nick and Beau introduce a song that has the potential to skyrocket through the itunes charts. It features auto-tune, Justin Beiber and the season ending injury to Lenny Hayes.

Round 2 Wrap - What up Alvi

It was nice to crack 2000 for the first time this year and outscore Beau the week I’m not playing him. Two weeks in and I must admit my team is struggling; I wasn’t helped with Joel Selwoods April Fool’s joke either. I am questioning some of the decisions I have made in my team.

Brad Green as an example. He looked like a lock after he became a forward this year. I jumped on board and have been disappointed with his scores of 63 and 72. Hopefully he can find triple figures against the struggling Lions next week.

This week I made a somewhat reactionary trade, by trading Mitch Clark out for Josh Fraser. Last week Clark struggled and this week he outscored Fraser by four points. I made the trade mainly because I was worried about the money I would lose from him. Hopefully Fraser can lift and not get outscored by youngster Zac Smith.

Saturday confirmed Mick Malthouse doesn’t have a Dreamteam. He decided to start the second most popular player in the competition, Andrew Krakouer, as the sub. It hurt most coaches but Kracks showed his class by posting 48 in less than a half of footy.

Round 2 Wrap - Cuzzywuzzy3peat

Shortly into the round I realised how badly the sub rule would be affecting our dream teams, Krakouer was not so much of a problem since the majority of the competition have him, but I felt sorry for my Dad's team who had Krak and Liam Anthony starting on his midfield.

I managed an improvement on last week with 2037 but am still becoming frustrated with a couple of players I went for instead of others. Eg: Joel Selwood over Bartel, Brad Green over Colin Sylvia and Buddy Franklin over Cyril Rioli.

My top scorer was Dane Swan who is the insta-captain, his 162 helped my team crawl over the 2000 mark. Bryce Gibbs followed up his opening round domination with an impressive 144 against the Gold Coast u11's.

We called Daniel Harris as a roughy to score well this week and he did exactly that with 96 points against the Blues in his 150th match.

The most interesting and annoying aspect of my week was the rucks, Cox dominated as can be expected but my second ruck in Josh Fraser could only manage 60. My third and fourth rucks both outscored him with Tyrone Vickery (71) and Zac Smith (81).

I was very impressed with the work of Luke Tapscott (80) and Rohan Bewick (73) after failing to get on the Ed Curnow (91) and Tom Liberatore trains (116).

Franklin saved himself from the chopping block by scoring 87 despite being on 16 midway through the third term. The golden rule is to not trade an injured premium, but he was struggling big time before the Hawks turned it on against the Dees

Round 2 Preview

The boys bounce back from a disappointing opening round of DT scores to discuss all the big topics in the week: Gold Coast, Joel Selwood and Dane Swan getting better and better.

Round 1 Wrap - What up Alvi

As I write this blog I am also writing my resignation as host of cashcow after scoring 1953 this week. It was never going to be great weekend after Joel Selwood went down against the saints and Mitch Clark forgot what the footy looked like. The Clark inclusion in my team was made to prevent a zero in my team and may see me burn a trade early in the season.

You know its trouble when Andrew Krakouer’s 96 was the highest score in your forward line. While almost all of Australia will have him in there team it’s good to see cashcows scoring well. Ed Curnow fits this category after scoring 107 on Thursday night. It had every coach without him in there team saying how did I overlook him?

Most disappointing was the fact I lost to Beau, that is back to back losses to him. Although it would have been nice to know I was playing him this week. This season there is no time to adjust like in previous years head to head wise. I have also realised I wont have a Toyota in my driveway later this year.

Round 1 Wrap - Cuzzywuzzy3peat

The first round has concluded and although I was hoping for a better score than 1998, it's always nice to get a win in the first of many Cashcow derbies this year against Nick who had 1953.

4/22 players racked up 100 and the Bryce Gibbs vice-captaincy loophole worked nicely as he scored 147.

Dean Cox was incredible, despite not having a ruck to contest against. He scored 142 while spending the fourth quarter up forward due to cramping.

Jack Grimes had a massive third quarter and scored 104 to look like the pick of the cheap defenders in 2011.

Joel Selwood was the disappointment of the round with just 27 before he was concussed by a Farren Ray knee. Selwood was subbed off and didn't return, it was made even more bitter with Jimmy Bartel (the player I opted against for Selwood) had 114.

DT dog act of the round goes to Mick Malthouse for subbing off Andrew Krakouer when he was on 96 after a 55-point third term. Despite every coach having him, it's nice to have a cheap as chips option who will deliver big scores this season.

Ed Curnow was the surprise of the round with 107 from 24 touches, absolutely filthy I went with Shaun Atley (40) instead of him.

That brings the round to the end, next week we can look forward to the inclusion of 6 Gold Coast players to Cuzzywuzzy3peat
