2 big games in the last month. Nothing else over 130 for that season.

Pretty good for $380 ?, worth a punt, and to be honest I was betting against Gawndy as usual, had to pay of sometime.

 

[Sherman41]

After 2 trades this week I’ll still have 9 and one rookie to upgrade on field.

I’ve made some trades I may not have usually but it was because I needed to keep winning cash leagues.

 

[kenneyswarriors]

You are right, I should have jumped off Preuss when he was first out of the team - but, I didn't want to waste a trade and had other issues to deal with. Anyway, that's hindsight now

I only turfed him this week as well.

Agree he was underpriced, fair enough pick from that point of view

I find that coaches that do well at SC tend to minimise the luck aspect. (Not having a go at anyone in this thread).

It's not all luck, I have Preuss and am not surprised he's got injured/suspended. I knew the risk and made my choices. It's more the volume of injuries that is the issue.

I have had an amazing run, carnage-wise this year, absolutely. Gawn, picked twice, omitted twice, Preuss picked, rage-traded after he hadn't played by Rd 2, Butters of course, like most and Thompson Dow when he was on a nice bubble, but that is all really, of any note. Hewett was only 2 weeks but we all mostly had him. Even the Covid stuff mostly bypassed me, other the some of the rookies that were non-essential.

I think next year we should make a BF list of players with too many convictions and refer to that as a starting point though, because bake it or curry it, we all knew the risks with Butters, Preuss, Dusty, Whitfield, English, Gawn et al and still went ahead with them, some poor kents had all of 'em.

I even brainfarted as little as 3 weeks ago and brought Parish in even though I knew he had a history of calf soreness; duly rewarded with 51 and time out...

Are you trying to tell me bringing in Gawn so I could captain him in the first bye round was luck (400 ), or trading sniff after scoring 144,117 and before his headbutt game. Sniff was probably an error but I was having a **** it week and that ended up being a tad fortuitous.

Probably another thing I should add to the list:

When you buy and sell is really, really important, as important as who.

Trades are not as binary as I once thought.
One does not simply upgrade/downgrade, one takes advantage of mid and rising star bubbles as well as premium upgrades to build both currency and interim scoring power.

 

[JuddgementDay]

Even though he may only be out for just this week?
I don't have that luxury

All they did was minus 1 week from last week's report...

I don't have a choice, I haven't got alot of the uber premiums and rely on a strong overall team. Made too many errors to this point and don't have a points buffer anymore.

This has been the year of the mid-pricer - Witts, Brodie, Cameron, Caldwell, Lipinski, Blakey, Curnow all great picks. There are probably others I've forgotten. Hewett maybe too?

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

In kind of injury news, I thought this was nice. Seems like a top bloke does young Wil.

Sicily, Hewett, Blakey, DRioli
Neale, Cripps, Green, Daicos
Witts, Preuss
Heeney, Gresham, DCameron, Curnow, Brodie, Xerri, Himmelberg

No problem here - I'm reliant on the uber premo MRJ (I don't even know if he will be named or not)

Is Hollands a chance this weekend?

Last year Hall, Ziebell, Impey, and Jiath, off the top of my head ....I'm sure there were others

The Sniff move would have been legendary, if only Petracca had scored better than 53 and 70 next 2 weeks, the extra 54 points i gained means That was a big fat Fail.

**** knows. Hopefully.

Neale and Heeney weren't mid-pricers. Do you mean Nick Daicos?

Definitely lots of successful ones this years, seems like more than usual?

 

[Tulendeena]

This interests me. I started the first two as they seemed underpriced.

Brodie I put my hand up - I never thought he could do what he's done. I do think Fyfe being out longer than expected has been a win there though.

Witts though, why was your instinct screaming "include"? He was 29 years old, coming off an ACL, no PS games, was 50/50 to even make round 1 and had never averaged over 100? To me that is just a massive luckbot selection if you started Witts.

I feel like there's a lot of retroactive "gut feel" applied to players that were successes

For every Sicily/Hewett/Brodie/Witts/Cripps theres a Weller/T Thomas/Whitfield/McGovern/Rayner

Before Round 1 there were plenty of people swearing towards Weller/Whitfield types, but post-season people only talk about ignoring their gut feel on players like Hewett.
Personally my gut was that it was Weller's year, and that Cripps/Hewett were massive traps. But you have to course correct as early as possible IMO, especially with 35 trades

Yes I talked up Weller big time in the PS too. Luckily wiser heads talked me out of that one.

I think you are right with a lot of coaches throwing darts and then painting the target around later.

I forget the poster now, but there was someone last year bragging about getting on Parish before he broke out. They admitted later to picking him the previous two years as well so it wasn't quite as impressive.

I agree with your point as a whole, but boy that is a shocking list of comparisons.

Column A has 2 players with premium scoring history who both showed us their wares in pre-season and 2 players with known talent who changed clubs and roles with a huge hint of score power over pre-season. Witts was on the up prior to his knee.

Column B has A bloke who'd never bettered 75 thrown into a deep sweeper role, a bloke who plays for North and has only threatened to break out, A bloke who has broken SC hearts for years, a bloke who we all knew was even softer than his big brother and a bloke who was never going to be thrust thru the Lions mids until he'd had a run of games to build confidence in his body.

I don't suppose you have a column C?

Neale was way unders. $550k for a fit Neale is a guaranteed 120+ average. You saved more than $100k. That's a bargain. Money saved allowed you take another mid-pricer or expensive cash, many of which worked.

$450k for 100 average is very good, saved a lot of money.

Yeah Nick Daicos. Even JHF pumped out some big scores and made $100k quickly. Expensive 1st years rarely work out.
