Last minute (second) panic switching out Goddard for Scotland

I also had Redden in my mid instead of my first choice Scott Thompson, because I thought his clangers would cost him under the new points system. The hell was I thinking?

All pre-season thought I should put McCarthy in my team but didn't pull the trigger.

Shiel on the field, Magnar on the bench.

Not picking this team:

Goddard, Birchall, Adcock, Harbrow, Dempsey, Bugg, Mohr (Ellis, Tynan)

Pendlebury-C, Ablett, Murphy, Stnaton, Magner, C.Smith (McDonald, Ellis)

Ryder, Kreuzer (Giles, Redden)

Franklin, Fyfe, Martin, Cloke, Bennell, Milera, A.Kennedy (Cameron, Dickson)

How could I be so stupid!!!

Nice round 2713....I'm surprised the winning score was not over 2500, considering Bugg/Mohr/Magner/C.Smith/McDonald/Kennedy all smashing it as rookies, and popular premiums Goddard, Birchall, Pendlebury, Ablett, Murphy, Selwood, Cox, Leuenberger, Franklin, Fyfe and almost Cloke all tonning up.

Expected someone out of 300k players to have all 6 of those rookies on field and no Ellis, Morris or Shaw, and have at least 8 or 9 of those smashing premiums.

Lake had a tough job playing on the resting ruckman all game, i think he is worth holding onto.

atm im regretting Melceski and John Butcher.

 

[devize]

atm im regretting Melceski.

Why? 83 points off 18 possessions in a game that was spent in Sydney's forward 50 the whole game is a good score. Looked completely bored as with many of the Sydney players. Wait until he gets a more even game, he'll get more possessions and easily get 90-100+. As long as he stays fit he's a SC gun.

Indeed, there is no new point system…that was a rumour.

Yeah I'll be holding Lake, way too early to cut a player of his class after the kind of issues he has had. Personally I'm glad I picked Malceski over Broughton (so far anyway).

I already regret the fact i have Swallow as captain this week... as there is no captains thread i also regret putting this in here

 

[Turly]

Had Birchall all pre-season, then last minute swapped him out for Broughton

 

[The_Flying_Egg]

Picking Ledger over Clay Smith, starting Dickson on the field over Hall.

This, did the same thing. Ended up not getting Clay Smith because I was worried I was picking him with my heart as a Dogs fan Wish I had the same feeling about Dickson

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Having C.Smith and Magner on the bench and playing D.Smith and Shiel. The split round and sub talk/injury got me. Especially when Shiel was not a sub. Would have been in the top 9000 instead of 64000.

Yeah, I fell for this too. Shiel (and D. Smith/Coniglio) on the field because they were definitely in the 21 and Magner on the bench, because of that injury cloud. In hindsight, I should have had one of the GWS boys as an emergency for Magner.

Also looking like my faith in Clifton might cost me. I'm sure he'll get in at some stage, but an emergency last week (one of the best in the reserves), then some of the big names come back for Round 2 and he's not even on the extended bench. I have complete faith that he'll score points once he gets a chance, but when that chance will be is anyone's guess. I refuse to do a Relton Roberts ahead of Pods, simply because one is playing in Round 1, ever again.

I've got Broughton too, but he just had a quiet game. It happens. Ellis on the ground and Bugg on the bench...? Meh, you're always going to make those sort of decisions with first gamers. Only four 100+ scores from my forwards and backs, when I loaded up on those areas (Goddard/Deledio/Scotland/Broughton/Grimes/Hargrave, Franklin/Goodes/Fyfe/Chapman/Martin/Dangerfield) was a bit disappointing, but I'm not ready to axe half the team yet.

 

[fairdinkum]

Broughton instead of Birchall. Will swap if they score like last week.

Scotland instead of anybody. Will swap next week. Possibly to Pendles (I have the cash).

 

[Pedsy]

You had Scotland in your mids? Ouch...

 

[Super Hans]

You had Scotland in your mids? Ouch...

me too

 

[fairdinkum]

He's a MPP so if like me you have several in mid and def then it isn't quite so bad.

Still, he's gone next week. Only Carlton player in my side too which is annoying as I like to have at least one from the more successful teams.

 

[LeFtBehinD]

Mumford.

 

[MightyMark]

Mumford.

Seconded

To be fair though, I knew when taking him that he wouldn't play 22 games, but hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come. How do you get soreness after a weeks rest

 

[GOAUS!]

Mumford.

So far, he'll improved, it was him or Sandi for me, chose Mumford cause I was worried about Sandi's calf

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Mumford and Barlow.

 

[Marlowe]

Mumford.

And I have the money for D.Cox too. Such an idiot.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Malceski. Just no urgency to find the ball.

 

[LeFtBehinD]

Seconded

Same but a late withdrawel after a week off its not forgiveable! lol

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Malceski. Just no urgency to find the ball.

Now he's finding it. I regret regretting it

 

[LeFtBehinD]

malsexcski!

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

[Shade]

Wingard hasn't really shown as much as i thought he would probably trade him
