SuperCoach 2016: Vents & Regrets Thread

[Big Sauce 21]

Thought the Swans game started at 4:40pm
Checked the scores and went to put Laird on field to get Danger's VC score at 4:37

Turns out the match started at 4:35

FML, Parker on 30 at HT

Exact same problem, thought it was always 4.40

You're having a worse run than me this year mate.
At this rate I'll be ranked higher

 

[The_Steadier]

Sam Mitchell can GTFO. Averages 120 a game. I trade him in 155 in two weeks. **** you ya campaigner. [/vent]

I think you were a little premature on that /vent.

Might want to keep that vent open!

 

[lamaros]

Told myself all week I was going Pendles VC, Rockliff C. Changed at the last min to put the VC on Danger, and C on Ablett.

****ed up my emergencies so I couldn't loophole and have to take Ablett's score.

Why I do this?

Kolodjashnij - absolute spud.

Glad to see someone else has this weak little spaz. He's been putrid.

Was going to be at kids school fair/fete most of day - only phone to do trades.

Lined all my ducks up ready to do trades just as teams announced.

Had Rich (E) on mid bench waiting to do Dea > Smith via Rich DPP.

Do trade, then notice Laird has come into field & both Rich & Ruggles in Def bench - both with E.

Move Rich onto field, take E off Laird.

Didn't f****n notice that the second E in defence had been transferred from NicNat at R3 - Geel v WCE game is about 5 mins into before I realise.

Miss out on NicNats 101 as emerg for Loersch (Capt. loophole) not playing.

Don't even start me on the 15 minutes it took me to trade Tippa > Rocky - what is it with that stupid drop down screen on mobile phone SC version?

I'm using a PC and I noticed yesterday that my E's weren't sticking. As in whenever I'd move players around, the E's would drop off or change to different players. I had to triple check each time I slightly changed something. I don't recall this being an issue in previous weeks. Not that I'll win it, but imagine if you finished 2nd overall, 100 points behind the eventual winner due to a SC glitch where you missed out on 101 E points.

Had 3 players in mind to make an upgrade to this week. Bachar Houli, Matthew Boyd or Lance Franklin. I had to pick the one that shat his dacks.

Sorry to hear that bud.

Had him twice last year, and was sucked in to starting him again this year.

Shook my head when peeps got him back this week. What a pain in the ass!

Exactly the same here.

A SP 130+ on the never again list. **** SC is a harsh beast.

 

[Juzzomac]

Elliot Yeo. Wtf are you doing?

 

[SSSSSS]

I say it every week because I feel the pain every week.

Bitched out on taking the punt on Gawn (not much of a punt since half the people in the world had him) and brought in my trusty steed Stefan Martin. Has never failed me until he gets the shit knocked out of him by May. I've felt the burn ever since.

I traded out Rocky for Tom Mitchell when I had the money for SParker. I wanted to go with a POD. **** never again am I going to trust being different instead of banking a 120 average.

 

[Farm Boy]

The great "eat a pie and have a smoke" before a game Relton Roberts.

I would gladly trade Relton Roberts in for Tom Sheridan.

• Went into this round really expecting a win. My projected score was about 150 points higher than his, and that was before taking into account that I was using Davis' donut to loophole Seedsman and Smith. To say the least, this guy's team was not good, so a loss to him would be, let's say, doubleplusungood. He even had spuds like Brown, McDonald-Tipungwuti and Menadue on the field!
• No players for me on Friday, so I could've made one of those "Great start, 0/0" posts on the round discussion threads, but decided against it. (Seriously people, why do you keep making these posts? Worse yet, why do you keep liking them? That joke was funny the first time I saw it, but by the tenth time - and I'm probably not even exaggerating here - it was, and is, just annoying. Your post is less original than an 'original character' in a Twilight fanfiction. Please stop).
• Yeo repays the faith of those who stuck with him by scoring a monstrous 39 points. That's almost as high as his 40 point game in round two! Fantasia meanwhile continues to show why I traded him in, backing up his previous score of 54 with an even more impressive 59! His rapid return from 90s to spud scores has been so impressive that even Sam Gray is jealous. Mills meanwhile seems upset that people were starting to expect scores from him reflective of his impressive pre-season, and put forward a very powerful argument in the skeptics' case against him with his Greshamesque score of 36.
• With his injury in round two, and somewhat disappointing scores beforehand, many people felt the need to trade Brad Crouch out. Not so myself, who saw in his highly successful 2014 a chance for a massive bargain. Crouch seemed to vindicate my faith in the SANFL in round six with an absolutely tremendous performance: 36 possessions (24 contested), 10 tackles and 10 clearances. So I put him on the field for round seven and ... 51 points. I'd guess he'll be crouching his way back to the SANFL. Anyone? No? Okay, that joke was terrible. Almost as terrible as your performance Crouch.
• Like a lot of people I felt the need to trade in Smith this week. Bubble boys with breakevens below -100 are very valuable. I considered putting him on the field, but instead decided to put him as an emergency, with Davis on the field in case he failed. He did, but no worries, I'd prepared for exactly this scenario! I'll just put Seedsman on the field and everything will be alright. He goes on to score 54.
• I had Dangerfield as VC, and he played well enough that I'd usually take his score. But then I saw his pre-scaling score of 119, upon seeing that number next to a Geelong logo, I screamed and suddenly lost consciousness.* I awoke several hours later surrounded by my family, psychiatrist, and local police force, all of whom informed me that during this time I had stated things that "Sent the fear of God into unborn children" and "Undermined rational belief in free speech".
• Fortunately, during my time on the other side, a miracle had happened. Max Gawn had been set as captain! And his captaincy score was 348 points! That's higher than most Supercoach players can count! In spite of the best efforts of my team, I could still win this. Among unique players, I had DBJ to come with 139 points in the bank, while my opponent had Leigh Montagna and Stefan Martin. Technically, he also had Tommy Lee, but he wasn't even listed. Losing this would now be tripleplusungood.
• So I watch the Port game and get pretty comfortable with my victory, Martin was beaten by Trengove in his first ever game as a specialist ruck, and DBJ was immense. Didn't watch the St Kilda game, but no way could Montagna have made up for that deficit.
• So I check the scores and see that I lost by 10 points. Stefan Martin somehow scored 115, and Montagna got 130. To make matters worse, I had McDonald-Tipungwuti and Brown on the bench, with only one donut. My opponent, by contrast, had five donuts. This is getting really irritating.

TLDR: I suck at Supercoach.
On the plus side, I think I've discovered a theme song for my team! I think it fits the performance of my players and my overall Supercoach strategy very well:

51 hit outs to 14 does that

 

[FlapFlap]

Injuries can GAGF. My team has been ravaged

R.Gray, D.Smith, Rockliff (brought him in last week), Higgins, Wells, Adams, Roberton (might be back this week).

+ Barlow getting dropped. Curtains

 

[Kadog]

-Injuries to Fyfe Rocky x2 BCrouch Wingard Wells Weitering Adams.

-Rance suspended.

-Flog spec picks like McGovern Lonergan (BCrouch)

-Underperforming premo spec picks like Mumford. Really hoped he'd have a Max Gawn type of year. Staying healthy is a bonus and he's going ok but wanted more from this risk pick. Shiel is another who has let me down. He's currently about 15ppg under to what I projected.
