The Zero Club

[lifelike_]

Good thread to post it in

..

 

[AGC]

Copped a big fat 0 for Jamie Charman, and didn't realise he was under any injury cloud. I had a perfect replacement in Trent West on the bench, but didn't list him as an emergency. Sure, 24pts isn't a big loss, but when my opponent has Cox as a ruck, I'm really losing out.
Worst thing is that he's on the top of the ladder by 350 pts, and i'm 4th

 

[Tippaz]

not looking good with Joel Bowden

Tigers are tanking early this year.

 

[Benno_900]

Since Gibson is now injured, one of Thompson/Hansen is certain to come in.

 

[frantelle]

i have half a zero, before you say anything yes its possible...for bowden i have the new presti of the competition replacing him...brown!

hardly makes a difference

i used to think wallace was one fo the best coachs of the league, i think its safe to say this is his final year. he was playing bowden out of position so far this year and he wasnt performing...hmmm wonder why terry

oh thats right cause he isnt a forward!
pretty sure i could coach that team better

Im thinking greenwood will

 

[Houli2Gumbleton]

why the ____ would wallace drop Bowden.

TANKING IT, mate

(Freo is a danger game )

 

[ekzistenz]

Promising signs from Richmond as well. Hopefully Wallace doesn't think he should leave Bowden out for a couple of weeks

 

[whelan=legend]

____ing why the hell do they drop Proud. Just when i bring in Wonaemirri to cover my other 0, they drop proud. I have had a consistent 0 on feild all year.

And i end up losing my matchup by 4 points and scoring 1968.

____ you Leigh Matthews

Nothing like your mob mate, 64 point win, excellent tactics. But then again Freo are pox.

EDIT: For some reason I thought you were a Carlton supporter

 

[simplicity]

zero club... thought i had it covered.. bowden dropped was bad enough but then grundy late replacement.... cost me my league game

 

[Benno_900]

Im thinking greenwood will

He won't.

I forgot Sinclair was back. He had 33 touches so he might come in instead although he is a different type to Gibson. Riggio (yes, he still exists) also had a very good game.

 

[Masss#10]

well with Bowden missing AGAIN i will be one short...

and with Barry Hall missing im thinking i will just use Tippet my emergency...which means i will have 2 0's

 

[Souup]

Pfeiffer saves J.Bowden again for me

Forward line though.. My bench is Gamble/Tippett.. Gamble suspended so i only have Tippett to cover. Hall and Schneider out for me so i'm going to have to cop a 0

 

[Deport Pedro]

as long as pfeiffier is palying ill have a 22 playing

 

[oaks]

All you guys should have planed your teams better. or not used your trades before the teams come out.



NEVER TRADE B4 THE TEAMS COME OUT

 

[Waite_30]

1 down again this week. Not going to trade off a keeper (Bowden) just because he'll be out for another week or 2. I kept Mackie for 3 weeks so i can wait for Bowden.

 

[Butane]

NEVER TRADE B4 THE TEAMS COME OUT

Thanks for the advice mate (And another person misses the point of the thread)

I copped a zero and saved a trade last week. Lucky I didn't get Selwood last week as I was planning to get him to fill that zero i copped. Guess what!? I would have had to trade him to another rookie this week to avoid his zero this round!

Moral of the story?

Sometimes it's ok to cop a zero. Two thumbs up to me.

 

[D0nk]

Yep, there just ain't a lot to trade to in the backs to cover a hole, I considered trading to Woona, but I think I'll leave it.

 

[The Chirpin Bird]

F***IN Worsfold. Dropping Selwood. Cant trade Bazza this week now so i can cover for the 0 in the back line. Gotta leave Hall on the bench and bring Hill in.

why would they have used trades before teams have come out?

Probably more, but there's Hall, Gamble, C.Stokes, Bowden, S.Selwood, Taylor, Proud, Tuck, Lonergan, Jetta, Priddis, Geary, Ebert, Grundy, even Staker believe it or not, all sort of common players (in around 10k teams or more) either out this week or last week, and maybe more to come on extended benches - Pfeiffer, Masten etc. Pretty hard to see all of those coming pretty much at once, with many being possible short term outs - and that's just the common players - Headland, McVeigh, Schneider & more on top of that.

I have 5 of those myself plus Masten & Pfeiffer, and I'm sure there's other people who are worse off than me.

I dont know so much whether he was dropped more school holidays are over and wont have the time any more. Everyone on this board knew this was a possibility. Will be back at end of Aug when the next holidays come up.

I made a trade a couple weeks back to cover my only 0 in the back link so am lucky to get away with it

Hmm yes quite..

I planed a layer of Barry Hall off my team this week because I couldn't take the zero. Already have two zeroes on the forward bench.

I have managed to avoid a zero on the ground so far but I can feel it creeping up on me.

I was a repeated, fully paid up member of this club last year but have no intention of signing up in 2008
