Vent Thread (Part 3)

[Forward Press]

*doesn't have Porplyzia*

The theory was sound. No injury worries in pre-season, bargain price, we know the scores he is capable of, and averaged 75 DT points per 100 min (which is above average).

 

[Ziebellion]

You do know the 53 was in under a half against Brisbane right?

The AFL grandfinal was not shortened.

It was against Brisbane, they lost to essendon by 11 goals in the last nab game with the best side they could field minus Rockliff (didn't play due to migrain)

 

[Schulzenfest]

The AFL grandfinal was not shortened.

So he had two good games and one bad one. If you're only picking players who were good in every NAB cup game, you're going to massively narrow your choices.

Corey Enright. First year in my team. Um, what the hell are you doing? Thought you were a premium?

He's underdone, will get better. More of an upgrade target than a starter though.

Not that I can talk...got suckered in by HMac's last NAB cup score and cheap price. Killed me tonight, would have been better off with the GWS ruckman and extra coin.

Could have been 130 or so points better off if I started the right rookies too. Frustrating.

 

[Covvy]

I had HMac too. Would've excused him if he kicked the final goal however. My Rucks barely cracked the ton between them. Have Leuy as well.

 

[Bluetiger]

Where are the Broughton haters???

He is a **** and I shouldnt have got sucked into the 'more midfield' crap.

Straight swapping him to Birchall this week, as I dont want any more scores like tonight, and at least hawks will be in front by plenty in most games so no doubt heaps of late junk time will be enjoyed all season!!

Stupid pick he hasn't had a preseason. He will be lucky to score well in the first month of the season, maybe more.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Bloody Broughton, I'm unfortunately keeping the faith for one more week and seeing how he goes, he's such a roller coaster ride that he may score a 120, all depends on what job he has.

Bloody Swallow, I picked you over Bartel and Bartel outscored him quite handsomely

And bloody Porpis, you are definitely gone in 2 weeks, believe that

lol @ trading him after one game. If he plays the same position next week though, i might consider it, but i doubt it.

Also lol @ porps haters. If you even watched the game you would have seen he wasn't sited at all in the first half, Adelaide kicked it to Tippet and Walker on almost 90% of occasions. Still Porpy managed to score 58 priced at $202k, he will generate enough money to be worth the pick. Should average around the 70 mark too. Reward outways the risk easily IMO.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Would love to see all the Porpoise owners jump off

I'm guessing none of you watched the first half of today's game. If you did you'd see there'll be very little to worry about when Tippett and Walker aren't matched up against witches hats.

 

[Bluetiger]

lol @ trading him after one game.

one trade wont kill me to fix up about the only mistake I have made with my team. happy with every other player.

So what you going to do when Broughton busts out 100+ games, bring him back in?

It was one game, relax. Start to worry after next week if he plays the same defensive role.

 

[RickSanchez]

He always plays like that against Stevie J and does the job. I do understand the annoyance though, I also feel like telling him to get ****ed but I'll hang onto him. Sadly I don't see him scoring big in Sydney next week. Feel free to trade though.

RE: Porps, don't have him but I watched the game. They were just allowing a lot of room for Tippet as he was dominating and there was no Bock (even though Bock probably will play forward). There wasn't much use for the smaller-mid forwards - look how open the forward line was when he took marks/kicked goals. They figured Tippet would take the mark against weaker defenders instead of bringing the ball to ground.

 

[Plugger35]

F***ing Broughton, thought he was playing a midfield role when he was named as a follower and would rack 'em up. Barely even saw him touch the ball tonight.

Should have gone with Birchall or Adcock instead, at least they don't change roles every week.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Clearly you didn't have Adcock last year.

 

[Plugger35]

Clearly you didn't have Adcock last year.

I did actually, I traded him in after he was racking up huge scores and then he turned to shit scoring 50s and 60s. That's why I stayed away from him this year but looks like he might be back to scoring huge scores again.

If I trade out Broughton I would probably go with Birchall rather than Adcock as he's more consistent.

Agree with all this.

Redden, why must you be such a **** tease whenever I get you in?

What the hell are you doing not following what was happening during the pre season?

You can't rely solely on a players price to indicate whether you should select them or not.

Schoolboy Error.

 

[Little Jerry]

I was deciding between Selwood, Rockliff, Stanton and Redden.

I went with Redden.

 

[liam_13]

Getting rid of Ryder and replacing him with Shaw (not directly)

Cost me 70 points already. Ryder is my first upgrade as soon as I can. Redden and Stephenson out for Ryder and Witts, Derickx etc

edit: I'm happy with Shaw, won't be doing anything rash, he will still be top 10 defenders I think, but I look like missing out on value as Ryder I think will continue his form and go up in price, while Shaw will drop/plateau...

 

[bombermick]

Bloody Broughton for the 100th time in this thread. Where did all the so-called premium defenders go?

 

[Scotland]

Stevie J. Wasn't having a great game anyway but the 4 FA didn't help.

 

[bunjie]

I had Birchall in my team for most of the pre-season, but traded him to Broughton at the last minute! What was I thinking? :-(

Dyson Heppell 40 22 11 -2

horrible fadeout
