SuperCoach Regrets thread

[1989]

Initially selecting Broughton and Mumford, then holding them until their value was lower than One.Tel shares.

 

[Ed_Gein]

I regret submitting a team this year.

 

[SpongePie]

Getting Jacobs in last week... Hope he plays this week!

 

[Mighty P]

Luke Dahlhaus; a few good scores but plenty of below average ones throughout. And to add insult to injury he is out with "soreness" this week.

 

[wce_dyl]

Worst Luck in the Rucks.

Luenburger > Kruzer > Mcintosh > Ryder. Need him back next week.

Around the grounds Tippett, Stanton and Broughton. Trading out Pavlich.

First year errors though. I'll learn from my mistakes.

 

[PHOENIX_RISING]

**** ****

 

[wce_dyl]

wow, why did you trade out the big nose?

Think maybe week 4 or 5 he wasn't performing at that point, think i got swan out of it, but should have dropped someone else instead.

Also: "It's my first day" Homer Simpson

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Michael Johnson. What a joke.

One ton since I picked him up when he was averaging over 100!

 

[footyfan_25]

Trading out Chappy this week and brining in Fyfe ....... F*** You FYFE and F*** you Freo for naming him you P*****.

There goes my first final.

Michael Johnson. What a joke.

One ton since I picked him up when he was averaging over 100!

Stop your bitchin´pez you rolled me last week with a decent score!!

 

[blewhismindout]

Not picking up Zorko.

Trading Porplyzia for Goodes (instead of Pavlich).

Trading out Sandilands for an injured McIntosh.

Putting my faith in Kruezer.

Putting my faith in Giles.

Putting my faith in Mumford.

... I've made a mess of my rucks this season.

 

[TheOz]

1. Placing too much importance on the byes rather than just getting the best team.
2. Nick Riewoldt ahead of Dangerfield who most wrote off before the season.
2. Nick Dal Santo ahead of pretty much anyone half decent as an upgrade, specifically could have gone Cotchin or Watson. Outside players are fantasy busts now considering the amount of players around the stoppages these days, contested possessions are crucial (ie: Dangerfield whose disposal is pretty average but who wins the hard ball)
3. Dustin Martin
4. Trading out Beau Waters thinking it was a 4 week injury only to have him return within 1.
5. Broughton (never again)
6. Mumford from the start
7. Not picking up Zorko until he was in the $300ks due to trying to keep a semblance of a side during the byes
8. Selecting Jared Boumann initially (muppet).
9. Fyfe, M.Murphy, Goodes all injured early on in the season and using early trades to cover for them.
10. Trading out Ablett when he was only gone for a couple of weeks.
11. Running out of trades a few weeks ago.
12. Coniglio ahead of Greene + $50k odd at the start.
13. Sideways trading out of Dickson because he wasn't getting much of a go, should have kept him as he started to play regularly merely two weeks later.
14. Downgrading to Tom Couch who was never going to score well and isn't going to get another go this season.
15. Going Giles -> Goldstein around 5 rounds ago only for Goldstein to start scoring rather poorly relative to what he did last season.
16. Ignoring MPP which is costing me now.
17. Lee Spurr not playing during the bye rounds (thanks Ross Lyon you f***wit)

The only decent things I did this year:
1. Getting Beams in when he was down at ~$490k (around round 5 or so), has averaged around 130 odd from that point.
2. Getting Priddis in when he was at ~$460k
3. Treloar, outside of his one game where he scored 7 he has done the business covering for Franklin, specifically the last two weeks.
4. Gibson providing solid backup in the mids and outscoring muppets like Dal Santo.

 

[LukeH]

Being out Friday night and hence starting Sam Shaw over Rhyce Shaw this week after I didn't change my side. Even with Hawkins falling on his head and Cyril's shoulder, would have won me the match this week.

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Not getting on Zorko is the biggest one this year.

Also not having the balls to follow through with putting the captaincy on Cox this week. Had it on him all week because of Geelong's ruck problems but chickened out because apparently he was injured! Put it on Ablett (same as my opponent) and lost by < 30 points.

 

[BEEG]

Not getting Beams when i told about 3 people to get him my reason was i already had Sidebottom and Cloke in as forwards and did not want another Pies player

Jacobs - Was all over him then went in with Mumford
Broughton - Spud
Cloke - terrible
Martin - Bloke has been average should be mentioned more often

 

[Ed_Gein]

I'll probably end up picking Martin again next year. You just know he's going to eventually have a Dangerfield 2012 season at some stage.

 

[leng jai]

Same. No Broughton again that's for sure (I said that last year too).

 

[GOAUS!]

Mitchell and Griffin being late outs.

 

[The Speaker]

That Griffin out will ruin me.

 

[j0rdy1]

Dusty, bringing in M.Johnson and him not getting another 100 since other then Pav, Sandi and Fyfe to an extent I will never touch a Freo player again aslong as Lyon is coaching.

 

[Dirtywhirl]

Starting with NDS
Martin
Trading in Broughton after Freo's bye
Trading Dickson to Milera after round two
Trading Jack Grimes to Geary early in the year. From memory it was to avoid a zero but just seems so pointless now

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

I am currently 50th overall and yet I feel like I have had a crap season. I annoyingly went for Kreuzer over Nicnat at the start of the year. I traded in Lewis instead of Sidebottom due to not affording Sidebottom by like, $600, then he (Lewis) gets suspended. I burned 4 trades bringing in Ziebell and Barlow and then traded them out only a few weeks later.
I was all set to line up with out Fyfe and then at the last minute I brought him in. I have had Martin for the entire year. But with out a doubt the worst one was going for Malceski over Beau Waters, the logic being Waters always turns the ball over...damn.

 

[joop]

Taking the captain off Ablett once this yr. lose the final by 40 points. sums up a very frustrating year

 

[shaun1800]

I am currently 50th overall and yet I feel like I have had a crap season.

If you made those mistakes and are still sitting at 50 I'd say you did a whole bunch of other stuff right, either that or just got very lucky.
