Starting side mistakes

[Jiska]

Interested in players people had in their starting side last year that burnt people because of fake preseason form, or unfulfilled potential..

For me:
Pavlich, Watts, Bennell, Zorko, Karnesis (could possibly chuck in Gibbs but he wasn't that disastrous)

 

[Krujan]

Lucas, Varcoe & Karnesis. Marc Murphy as well, considering his 602k starting price. Traded out Lucas, Karny and Varcoe by Rd2 for Wines, Rowe and Westhoff so not too much damage from my initial squad.

Suprised that I only started with 2 premo priced forwards (Rocky & Nroo) forgot I did that. Turned out pretty well in hindsight as I had 6 premo forwards by Rd 10

 

[timtamWB]

Karnezis, Luke Brown, Watts, Zorko the magnificent, not starting with JJK, not having Blicavs the whole year. And ****ing Tom Lee. OH THAT'S RIGHT WATTERS, HE'S A GOOD SC PICK IS HE???? HE'S GOING TO PLAY A LOT OF GAMES IS HE??? **** YOU!!

I did start with Hannebery and Hartlett, two good picks there. Should have traded Hartlett before his hot streak ended. So it was alright.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Karnezis, Watts, Hickey (oops), Toumpas, and big Sammy Jacobs (who for some reason I kept all year)

[elMM]

Duffield
Shuey
Bennell
Giles
Bellchambers
Zorko
Varcoe
T. Lee


pfffffft.

Really need to pick a JJK type low mid-priced fwd (under 300k) or 2 that will go BANG this year and end up being a keeper. But for every JJK there are always 2 Karny/Varcoe's unfortunately.

I'd say 4 for every 1. Everyone had JJK last year tho. Still think Hunter and Caddy could be the ones to launch..

 

[Derogue]

Watts
Karnezis
Jacobs
Franklin

and to a lesser extent
Murphy
Zorko

I had Sauce as well as an initial selection in 2013,

Guess who my R1 is ATM?

'Fool me once'.......

 

[CaptScott]

lol last season I made so many mid-price blunders that I told myself it will be only guns and rookies this year.

At them moment I have 6 mid pricers in my team...

inb4 round 2 facepalm

 

[Jars458]

Danger rocky and Gibbs. The later two for the second year in a row.

 

[KardiniaPark]

Can't think of any?

Well...Levi Casboult but he doesn't count because obviously I had some sort of brain aneurism the day of lockout.

 

[RobZombie]

Watts
Toumpas
Karnezis
Atley (believe it or not, was tearing up the NAB and not _entirely_ a biased pick)
Ted Richards
Zac Smith

Also in week 1, Macaffer only got 44 but turned out to be good value over the season; Roughy 58, and I pulled the pin on him a week later with scores of 58/89. Stupid stupid trade.

 

[timtamWB]

Ted Richards

I really want to hear your thinking behind this pick

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

For me it was definitely Watts and Karnezis.
What was I even thinking!

P/S: I forgot about Duffman!

 

[KardiniaPark]

Jack Watts 2014

It's ... all kind of a blur. I painted myself into a corner with some ill-advised mid pricers and panicked.

 

[hoddo]

Watts, Karzezis and Toumpas for me too. Although it was the players I brought in later who immediately lost form or got injured that really hurt. Players like Hartlett, Giles, Birchall and Kreuzer.

I know Hartlett and Birchall caused many players their season due to wrong timing.
Pretty unlucky I'd say

 

[Judd_Magic]

Starting players were Karnezis and Dangerfield (took too long to come good although I did stick with him)

Players that I traded into my team that were useless sacks of sh1t - Hartlett, Birchall and DUFFIELD! (Why oh why did I pick him for?)

MY GOD.. THE MAN RETURNS.. Phew.. Here I was thinking I wouldn't have an easy beat in the tragic's leauge.. Crisis averted..

 

[ubeaut]

My mistakes were
1. Zorko
2. Not having Terlich
3. Will Hoskin - Elliot! (luckily I just traded him for Leuenberger when he was fit didn't lose much money or points)

Then I may have gone top 100 but I got Dixon instead of Hibberd who cost me donuts, trades and huge slide in rankings. Ended up 380th but should have been much higher.

Really? I thought I ended up 380th overall...
