2015 SuperCoach Regrets/Vent Thread

[Headless]

My biggest regret is, well, this. Being here. I promised myself at the end of last year that my SuperCoach career was no more. I was retired - all done. No more conflict between who I want to win and which players I want to do well. No more Thursday night selection angst. No more thinking "ooh, that's [x] number of points" every time a player does something well. No more.

And yet, about a week ago, I realised my mistake. There is no ending the SuperCoach cycle. I borrowed a line from Warner in Legally Blonde, and thought: "So baby, give me your hand. I've got some dreams to make true. I've got the future all planned. It's time to get serious - time to get serious with you." The last week has been nothing but stupid research.

Here's to another year of selecting a POD forward only for them to do their knee in Round 2.

I've had this thought... Many times.

When it comes down to it though, Supercoach seriously adds a whole other dimension to AFL for me. If you have a good league, with good mates, It keeps you entertained all year long. At the end of the day it is just a game, so you can still enjoy the footy - It just gives you that added incentive to watch a Melbourne vs WB Sunday twilight game at Etihad and not fall asleep!

Dream Team can go F%&k itself, but SC is here to stay.

Having to skive off to the restaurant Sh1tter to check teams cos the missus was determined to go out for dinner on the first night of lockout.
FMSCL!

Only Carlton and Richmond players are locked in tonight. All others can still be traded.

Yeah, yeah I know but it's a pathetic addiction I am inflicted with. Missus shakes head.... Yep, none again!

 

[TheOz]

I want to make 6 trades just from this one game.

Not looking into this more

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Lack of Docherty, in my team all year. bah

 

[Ashton Agar]

Had Kamdyn McIntosh on the bench.

Should I trade in Hamling/Goddard and put them on the ground to get McIntosh's score?

 

[GOAUS!]

Dusty, sigh. Hope that's not a sign of things to come.

You mean him getting tagged? He'll get tagged a lot this season.

 

[Super Hans]

Me too. Had him for almost all preseason, went for Simpson instead. Not that Simmo is a bad pick.

 

[Mullarkey]

Lids - subbed and still scored more than Martin and Cotchin so not the worst....

 

[Judd_Magic]

Moved Kamdyn McIntosh from D7 to D6 with 10 mins to go.

This year is looking better than last year already. LOL!

I do have Dustin Martin and Patrick Cripps though.

So you're the reason why Cripps went so terribly!

 

[Judd_Magic]

Yeah pretty much. LOL!

I heard that Cripps shat himself tonight once he found out he was in my SC team.

2 for me so far. LOL!

I would but then again I'd do anything just to talk myself into using a trade. LOL!

Plus one. Got sucked in to the Newnes hype in the last week.

I think that on behalf of all BF users we say a big FU to Judd_Magic. His lack of posting means most of us had no idea of who was in his team. For years we've spent hours looking at JM and Paige's teams and selecting the opposite. This year we were flying blind.

It's been hard for us all.

Absolutely not.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Can't believe I never thought about picking Docherty.

Never saw Hunt coming either.

<sigh>

I didn't even stop at Hunts name, never on my radar, but I'm full of regret for backing out on Docherty when I had him most of the preseason.

Been flying under the radar this pre season mate.

Fully back now to show whose players are doomed due to them being in my team. LOL!
