he doesn't look right to me

He's never looked right to me.


Oh, you mean fitness-wise. Sorry, carry on.

swan again

Rd 9 not going with my gut on boomer/goldie combo.

If I had of got say Ward on the cheap and those 2 norf players my team would so much better.

MYSELF? For missing the lockout and forgetting to trade Gaz to JPK that costed me 120 points

Deciding to keep langdon as "great defence cover" back when he was 400k.

Now I'm over 100k in the hole and still no def bench. (Surely he's dropped this week?)

Probably not with Maxwell in doubt.

Normally I'd agree, but with the last 3 weeks since my fateful decision yielding 12, 50 odd and 30 odd sc wise... surely there's a potplant at vic park that's ahead of langdon at present? Fasolo etc?

Hmmm, the pot plant does have fronds in high places so you could be right.

Swan... Persisting with him for so long thinking he will come good. That bloody game vs Essendon was the killer. He looked like the old Swan and sucked me in for longer... Got to the point where it was just too late to get rid of him due to lack of trades

Finally he becomes Sammy Mitchell for me this week, but that is far too late!

6th in points.
11th in wins.
Feels bad man.

What's your opinion on this scenario, and how to combat it?

Iunno. My side is strongish, no obvious trades to make and on form I should win the next two. Relying on some unlikely results to make the 8.

What do you think you could do next year to fix your problems.
Do you think more POD's are the solution?

Well played sir.

An oversight was not picking Gary Ablett. I remember tossing up whether or not to get him to set myself a challenge, thought I picked him in the end but soon realised I hadn't. Got slayed Captain2Captain pretty much all season.
Second year running I've avoided Bomber players in fear of mid-season bans. In retrospect this seems a bit optimistic.
Also I think I went too hard on the trades during the bye rounds. Last year I didn't pay them much mind and copped floggings in all three. This year I went all out and won 2/3 but perhaps at too great a cost.

Yeah Gablett cost you! The bye round really are the make or break to a SC's year. Team balance is so important,
over the bye rounds. Hope they piss them off next year, split rounds are the go!

 

[JohnnyDrama1]

Getting Nic Nat over Minson was a killer. Hopefully Nic Nat can prove me wrong, need WCE to play 2 big men not 3 (currently are playing Nic Nat Lycett and Sinclair).

Hope I didn't come across as a campaigner, just trying to work out SC points/vs/losses and a solution.

Not at all! I was just confused by the initial question. It's a refreshing change to interact with someone on BF with a curious mind seeing as we mostly spend our time on hear talking over each other.

All cool man, thanks for embellishing me.. The swings between wins and losses are FUR TUP!! Solution could be solid players like Parker Slone, etc. I know overall points add up but is there some smarts in getting in solid players first up
in selections and working your way into the wild SC scorers/swingers later on?

Maybe you'll feel slightly better after looking at my cash league scenario.
3rd in points, 10th in wins

MMM? your thoughts?

 

[Super Hans]

I sound like a broken record, but Nic Nat over Jacobs has killed me.

But by far the most frustrating 50/50 balls up I've made was Roughead over Boomer after having Boom all pre season.
