Roast 2014 SuperCoach Regrets/Vent Thread

[Headless]

2013 thread: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/2013-supercoach-regrets-vent-thread.994653/

(I'm a Melbourne supporter. You can't blame me for being pessimistic.)

By the end of tonight, I'm sure there will be a nimiety of "I had [x] in my team all pre-season" and "I changed [xyz] just before lockout" posts, so why not keep them all to one thread?

I think I will be regretting not starting with Pendlebury, but we will see.

Best of luck, all, and let the pain and sorrow begin!

Has to be Higgins, just has to be.

My annual joke, biggest regret.....logging into SC 2014 in the first place!

Hah! Gold!

 

[Deliverance]

Won't be too long before I say "Regretting having no Ablett or Pendles"

They should be esy enough to trade in with a few correction trades yeah??

 

[Gribnoor]

I like the idea!
I have taken the liberty to write down the key moments in this coming month that will utter destroy my team and leave me rocking slowing in a corner of a dark room:

- That moment in one of the first three rounds where Dale Thomas's ankle spontaneously disintegrates in four different places.
- When Higgins gets a soft tissue injury during R1 warm up and is placed on LTI list within 48hrs.
- Oh yeah, when Webster decides he doesn't dig disposal efficiency and plays overly-enthusiastic but useless sidekick to Fisher.
- Suckling injuries the opposite knee to that of Swallow in the same R4 game, just 'cause.
- TMitchell decides that he does see himself as a second year player after all, triggering self-induced 2nd year blues.
- Sandiland's trips over his own toe as he is walking off the ground post-R1, appears completely fine and laughing about it - Ross Lyons later confirms he will be monitored and rested indefinitely to make sure he's right for finals.

Did I miss anything?

My counter of hours wasted on this ridiculous game this pre-season has just ticked into five figures.

Thought I better take a step back this year.

Probably about 5 hours early - can't believe I didn't start with Pendles!

praying Crowley goes to him so i dont see Pendles 33 possessions

 

[Kadog]

I HATE that I'm starting a season without Pendles & Swan in my side. I feel awkward about that.

Damn you byes and lack of rookies

 

[Judd_Magic]

Not starting with Rockcliff and Libba (3 premo midfield)

I'm sure I am going to regret it but it makes my backs, forwards and R1 look average with both of them in there with Ablett, Watson and Beams.

 

[hoddo]

My regrets will be ...

1- One of the several players dumped from my team over the past few days who star while their replacement spuds it up.

2- Expensive rookies playing later in the round who score well after I leave them out for cheaper rookies assured of playing earlier in the round, or the expensive rookies who miss a game later in the round after I've bypassed earlier cheaper playing rookies earlier in the round ... whichever way I decide to go it's sure to work out badly.

3- Leaving out Ablett. After hearing Hardwicke say he may leave him without a tag because Jackson isn't playing he could get an enormous score. Not that I believe Hardwicke would be stupid enough to actually do that.

 

[Chaisa]

Not starting enough mid guns.

Breakout players not breaking out.

 

[JuddgementDay]

taking way too much risks on 'value'/ previously injured players

 

[TheOz]

Backing Lobbe in, can see that one being a dud.

 

[GOAUS!]

Not backing in enough rookies, also not picking MaCrae may come back to bite me, those two are linked.

 

[manboob]

Not picking MaCrae may come back to bite me.

This is my biggest fear, I can't stop thinking about it. I know it's the right thing for team balance but...

 

[pulpdriver]

First time that I've started with a team with no Ablett. Surely this is asking for regret?

I won about 4 or 5 games in 2012 beause everyone jumped off of him. I am hoping it happens again this year.

Those scores. I'm insane. Just hope he hasn't had too many big ones before I get him in.

He's got a decent run. Tigers, Lions, Dees, Giants, North, Saints in the first 9 rounds. Good luck!
