to loop two rookies in round 19… just as we all expected.

 

[danster168]

Do something Parish you princess. Merrett, maybe get involved for heavens sake.

 

[Penski]

Merrett starting slow

 

[Lukebatty97]

Worst thing paying a mil for zez last week. Bye bye rank
Tackled Bont and got the ball before, no tackle counted.

 

[Torz]

Parish has been on the bench the whole quarter ffs.

 

[Penski]

Essendon playing a really high posession game, and Zerrett and Parish not getting a touch in all of it.

 

[Shaunn]

VC Bont <3

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Went with facts over gut feel

Trade in Bont and Vc ffs

This hurts

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Great week to trade in Parish. My track record for killing players the very week they enter my team is unmatched.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Oh the weekly reminder that I traded out Bont after round 3 continues.

To make it worse, I traded him back in (finally) this week until Laird was out injured and needed to replace him and Green.

 

[danster168]

last week Sicily, this week Parish. I can't believe there was a Parish vs Oliver poll. I'm watching Parish like a hawk and he is so weak in the contest, has no burst from stoppage and is poor defensively. Such an overrated player.

finally coming good (ignore the kick on goal)?

To be in the position to trade out a guy who just had 3 90s probably meant your team was killing it early I'm guessing

 

[SM]

To be fair I was very close to ditching him too. Was one of those weeks he had an almost 50 point first quarter then limped past 100 at FT.

 

[JADED]

Merrett poor so far.
Another one of those players that are s**t in my side. (Traded in this week)
Could've had Bont but preferred the cheaper trade in.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

There was some logic to it I like to tell myself.

A) Bont had his 3 x 90s after each game being on about 70 at half time before a terrible second half. This led me to believe he was either carrying an injury or not fit.

B) I changed last minute to not start with Daicos who started the year with 3 x 100s and ave 110 at the same point.

C) Was tossing between trading either Bont or Macrae to Daicos at this point. At this time, Macrae had scored 2 x 100+ out of 3 games and assumed he was likely to have the better year based on his start and previous seasons.

So i traded Bont to Daicos instead of Macrae to Daicos (Macrae was also priced higher at this point).

Since then (excluding tonight), Bont has averaged 120. While Macrae has averaged 97.

This decision alone has cost me more than 320 points. Definition of this is a trading game and continues to absolutely drive me insane after a complete 50/50 call going the wrong way

 

[TheRednWhite]

God why did I take the VC off Bont and put it on Hack Merrett?? I love Zerrett and he can have big ceiling games but he does throw up these weak games....lucky goal right before HT saves his score. Dawson C it is

Love the answer. Don't think you were on your own, was a fair discussion on here from memory about it. Personally thought it was crazy to trade a premo who was going at what he was priced at and had shown signs of exploding, but it's one of a very small amount of calls I've got right this year.

The age old rule, never trade out your premos! I will wallow in self pitty in it until next year.

 

[Danger_zone]

Bont (VC). Hello Captain Laird!

Ha I started with Bailey Smith and was convinced he'd be one of the highest scorers of the year, so I'm joining ya

[wcns]

Because of course my opponent has Jordan f**king Ridley. Who even has that guy on their team?
