The player that buried your SC 2014 season.....

[CaptainChardonnay]

One player cannot bury you.

Walker, (early injuries) to Mitchell, Hanley & Watson, starting with NicNat, Nroo, Buddy & Wingard.

Combined, they picked me up, flipped me and then power bombed me 10 feet into the ground. Dead buried.

Along comes Hibberd to give a sneaky kick to the ribs then runs away like a coward.

The ONE player I didn't start with that buried me was Pendles. NEVER. AGAIN.

You say one player cannot bury you.....

I present exhibit A:

Cyril Rioli

Exhibit B:

Dane swan

With 30 trades, ONE player cannot bury your season.

Biggest flop is a different conversation.

Unless u've traded them a few times
McEvoy

 

[Island Bomber]

Lance Franklin scores when I had him: 54, 79, 130, 29, 104, 31.

After I traded him: 96, 126, 108, 71, 146, 121, 137.

Ouch.

I did the same thing, started with him traded him out after the 31.

only real bad mistake was picking Patrick Cripps over Matt Crouch... cost me couple hundred k
just a few hurdles other than that which I jumped off quickly... Swanny Rohan

 

[rocker_oz33]

Agree with Kadog one player can't really stuff your whole season up.But things like what happened to me last season traded some bugger to birchell bang long term injury in the first game then birch to nit nat who was just crap the moment I got him.

 

[Sidebottom2Beams]

For me it was my whole team rd 1. I scored 1910 in the first rd which was about 350-400 points under par. So being just outside the top 1k has been a nice save.

 

[SC fish]

I'm not blaming my players - I blame the coach for making some woeful initial selections and trades throughout the season.

 

[Daniels]

Hanley.

Taking him over Swallow in starting team. Created a headache which influenced future trades. Had Swallow pencilled in, in 'trail team' all pre season too. Same price range, same "risk" etc. Had to waste trades to part with him when he got injured. Hanley was a real pain by not delivering early in season what he has shown he is capable of. While Swallow was churning out consistent 100's. Frustrating!

This thread needs a poll.

My nomination is Sam Mitchell. Had all my trades planned out going into the byes - was going to have a full team every week until he got himself injured, losing 60k in the process and resulted in me picking up Birchall, who hasn't exactly set the world on fire.

 

[Hairy Lager]

No such thing as one player ruining your season, mods divvy van this shite.

Whoops thought this was the bay, ha,ha...

Flops can dig the hole, but one player can certainly throw you in and bury you alive.

I'm hanging by a thread at the moment. Hibberd looks likely to kill my season off though. Only 3 trades left, 1 mid upgrade required and want to bring in Mitchell at some stage for Enright. Done.

I did the exact same thing. I don't blame the players I blame the coach. My initial team was actually quite good you could argue I've made it worse than it was. I was ranked as high as 130 at one point. Even made it through the byes with a rank of 200. Since then every trade has been bad.

I can only blame myself. I'll bet things are only gonna get worse for me.

 

[Feerits Elf]

Jaensch over Hanley.

Just ... gah ... I have no words.

 

[manboob]

Probably Mitchell, it meant that I decided to bring Swanny in who has spudded it up. Let me short down back and ****ed me in the mids.

 

[tommyv49]

Not picking GAJ. nuff said i ****ed up

 

[RBW_007]

Traded in Shaw last week and with Hibberd and Bews out I'm going to have to either trade him or Hibberd out. Fair to say it's stuffed my season.

 

[NSWCROW]

Grant Birchall

Got my team the strongest it's been all year then this...

[TurboBreuster]

Why not just say a whole position? DEF!!! Hibberd, Birchall, SD Thompson, Cutler and Bews!!! FMscD!

 

[Krujan]

Swan

 

[The_Steadier]

hasn't sunk my season but driven me nuts and cost me valuable trades.... the knock on effect resulting in missing Mcgovern and having no fwd bench cover to speak of.
