Roast 2014 SuperCoach Regrets/Vent Thread

This is ridiculous. It's been one game, I hope you bring Swallow in and scores 60 against Fremantle.

Don't need to is the point.

 

[Jiska]

Apparently he's a good chance to play this round.

That's the best news I've hard all week. That'll stop all those johnny-come-lately's from jumping on board just to take Langdon's score.

 

[Thuggee_Cult]

Not taking Laider in the backline but shelling out for McVeigh. Hopefully time is kinder to this decision.

Mcviegh and swan.

Jumping onto McVeigh is a bumpy ride, he will average around 100 and finish in the Top 3-4 DEFs by year end but it won't be made up from notching up 100's every week - it will 80 one week, 130 plus the next. Hold on tight!

 

[Thuggee_Cult]

I've gone for Liam Shiels instead of Dane Beams as M5. Yes, you heard me!

Let me just say the the split round is prolonging the agony so I'm just warning everyone

for the fallout come 5pm Saturday

If averages around 100 and finishes in the top 3-4 defenders that will do me as there wont be too many defenders this year average 100 at all. Maybe Mitchell could be the only other thats capable of a 100 average.

I think Mitchell will too but I hope to get him in around the bye rounds.

McVeigh had an absolute shocker on the weekend and still notched up 82.

They will just move onto Lake....

Instead of Beams? That's just stupid, I expect a good rage post from you

 

[Deliverance]

Mcdonut maybe my only regret at this stage, if he gets dropped will have to burn a trade before round 3

I thought he worked in to the game reasonably well and got a lot more confident as the game progressed. If he stays in the team, he will be OK I reckon.

same. but you've gotta remember it's Richmond, they'll probably drop him for Jake King and he'll never be seen again

It gets better, I put Shiels in to accommodate Higgins in the forward line. I'm expecting big things from both players

Higgins > Impey/Merrett would be enough for a Shiels > Beams should things go t!ts up in the latter half of round 1, which it probably will

There are no words... I just... I don't... Why????????

The thing is, that I would take Beams over nearly every other midfielder except for Ablett and Pendles. So if it meant trading your M3 in Watson/Rockliff/Libba/INSERT MIDFIELDER HERE to Beams then I would do that before going Beams > Shiels.

 

[Judd_Magic]

I have Ablett, Watson, Libba, Beams with Tyson, Mitchie, Polec, Ellis (Dunstan, Crouch) as my mids.

Pretty happy with that setup to be honest although just wish I could have kept Rockcliff in there but needed to boost my forward line instead by getting Roughead in.

knock yourselves out

Fair enough, Beams is more than capable of averaging 120 for the year and I am in a position to bring him in with minimal trades prior to Round 3.

On the flip side, one observation I took out of Friday night's game was that Swan and Ball spent a fair bit of time out of the midfield and the former looks badly underdone, as a consequence I think Beams may get a lot more attention in the coming weeks.

I have scheduled a rage post for Sunday either way, stay tuned

Wait. You started without Beames priced at <500k???

I was worried if he'd pull up in time. Considering swapping Enright back to Hibberd given I had him before the injury but I'm pretty sure I'll leave as is given I don't like making last minute changes.

Why didn't you just go one of Watson or Libba to Murphy? Could have "boosted" both your forward and backlines.

Not sure about that. 4-0-6 is okay, but 3-0-7 is pushing the envelope a bit I think.

Yes, I'm the guy that started without Beams.

That guy.
