Toast "Bullet dodged" thread

[Atavistic]

Name the players you had in your side at some point prior to lockout and who are currently spudding it up. Mine so far:

Bugg, Greene, Steele.

Went Buggy to Rosa a few minutes before lockout. Hopefully that works out, otherwise I'll be in the vent thread later.

 

[RickSanchez]

Greene and Steele as well....

 

[Atavistic]

Have to add Howe to my list. Had him for ages in AF simply because with two trades a week I figure I can take risks. Now he's an emergency.

 

[Mego Red]

Steel have Steele.

I got Howe.....
Not looking good if he can't get a game with the retirements and injuries the Hawks have.
No idea who I will trash him out for though.

Dodged Greene, Steele, Howe, Simpkin.

 

[Torz]

Greene, Steele, Mitch Brown, Simpkin

 

[Gee Dub]

Wouldn't say you dodged it. They may come out and smash it next week.

Hannas to Titch last night. Cheers to tradespert - started to look at him when I saw him in your team.

Dodged a bullet for now. Hannas was on track for a monster score. Lucky my opponent had the C on him also.

Last minute trades: Matt Crouch and Jonathon Simpkin out for Brad Crouch and Dean Kent. Happy

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Had Hannebery most of preseason. Not at final lockout though.
Had Dusty up until NAB 4 and then went to Buddy. Happy so far.
Toby greene was in and out all preseason. Moved him out and shifted kerridge forward.

Dodged Howe - but copped Greene & Tippu straight between the eyes

Everyone being all like "how can you not have Dusty" makes me feel very satisfied to see him score a mediocre 75, against Carlton at that.

Then again, was hedging that skipping Ablett would be a similarly brilliant move but the little master has made a fool of me.

It was only against Essendon.

Liked for quality self-deprecation. Living in the US and it doesn't seem to happen or resonate as well here.

Seriously though, kudos to Zaharakis on standing up with little experience around him, you do have some quality around.

The guy below you is correct that it was only against Essendon

But Ablett looked clearly rusty and at 100% he could've gotten 1.5x as much action as he ended up with. He'll be better for the run and IMO he'll keep it up

Yep, definitely going to be tempted to trade him in this week. Shiel didn't set the world on fire and Geelong is unlikely to make things easy for him so he might be on the cutting block there.

Had Hannebery, Robinson, Sidebottom, M.Crouch, Libba all at different points during the pre-season but swapped them over. Not to say Libba or Hanneberry will improve but Hanneberry would have been a millstone for round 1, especially when I already had Pendlebury spudding it up. At least Libba would have still been scoring close to his break even. Sidebottom, M.Crouch and Robinson have the problem of a report, Sidebottom looks gone for at least 2.

 

[LordHaart]

Did anyone have JJK as captain? He's in 9.5% of teams, but if anyone had the guts to put the C on him, they'll be leading in a big way.

 

[getgaff]

Dusty, had him majority of the pre season but got spooked late. No doubt he'll bounce back but I'm happy for that S. Gray and Hall are covering somehwat.

Again also only Round 1 but Brodie Grundy. Glad I don't have him in Classic, i've got him in some Elite drafts but that's fine. Thought he'd be a dead set cert in the Pies best 22 but obviously not yet. Won't be long for him to force Witts out but you'd suspect.
