Roast Vent Thread (Part 4)

[quin_stick]

Made 3 trades this week to cover 0s. The ins were;

Enright - 45
Zaharakis - late withdrawl
Mitchell - assuming he will be shot/in a serious car accident in the next few hours

I seriously can not do anything right this year.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Bloody Ablett, at least I have Swan as captain

and Zaha beinga late out pisses me off also

 

[InsanO]

Zaharakis a late out for the bombers with a Quad injury. Early reports are that he could miss 5-6 weeks.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Wow there's gonna a lot of vents this week. I wonder if anyone out there has all of Scotland, Pendlebury, Waters, Coniglio, Sandilands and Zaharakis.

For me personally, so far this round:
Scotland, Pendlebury, Shaw: Injury outs
Robinson: 70
Stephenson: 26
Sandilands: 10
Martin: 68
Deledio: 76
Goddard: 57 at 3QT
Ablett (c): 50 at 3QT
Malceski greenvested

Barlow, Ellis and Hall have hit par. Everyone above has been awful. I'd like to say this will surely be my worst ever round of Dream Team, but if I do then I know it'll just go even worse next week.

 

[Scrotes2000]

Zaharakis a late out for the bombers with a Quad injury. Early reports are that he could miss 5-6 weeks.

Jesus christ....5-6 weeks?

Having a horrible round so far.
Deledio, Robinson, Kreuzer didn't do very well.

Ablett is my captain. Doesn't look like goddard will make his projected.

Sigh...

 

[CrozaN]

Ablett.....really......REALLY..........the one week i make you captain and freaking Prestigiacomo could outscore you.

 

[QS]

Seriously FMFDT last week accidently took the C off GAJ, this week put it back on him for this shit? Sorry guys my fault

 

[Mattrox]

All the gun players pretending they have a bye too so that all the donuts aren't to embarrased by having high scores sitting next to them. Pendles 0 would have been very bashful if GAJ scored 190 again.

 

[Vincent Chase]

My eliminator opponent doesn't even have GAZ let alone make him Captain like i did.

 

[Benno_900]

A 1600 score might be above par this week.

 

[Plugger35]

Zaharakis go **** off.

Traded him in yesterday for Horsley to avoid a donut and he is a late withdrawal.

Last week I traded in Enright and he was a late withdrawal as well.

Both of them had played every game prior to that with no sign of any injuries.

Jesus H Christ can you get any worse luck than that?

 

[QS]

Stanton set for a big one again I see

 

[Ess_don]

Lol remember few weeks back we had a supposed "Carnage Round"? Yer reckon we throw that word around way too much, now "carnage" doesnt do this bye round justice! Dreading whats coming up in the next 2 weeks..

 

[Spider Klein]

+1 for Ablett this week, Especially given I missed his score last week for Sidebottom.

Captain choices taken me from what should be a game clear with 7-1 to 5-3 and 4th in the pack

Opponent chose Mitchell over Ablett captain this week so it is looking like a masterstroke

 

[Ball Hog]

After being in the top 600 and happy about my team my last month has just been absolutely horrific! Every single decision i have made has been poor whether that relates to trading, captaincy or rookie choices.

In the last month I've:
Traded in premiums such as Scotland, Zaharakis (Instead of SJ) & Stanton (Over Watson)
I made Ablett captain this week after Sidebottom was captain last week
I had Stanton captain vs GWS
I had Treloar benched and Cloke on the field when they scored 119 and 24 respectively
I've missed all of Zorko's big scores
I benched Jacobs last week for Stephenson
I took way too long to get Beams into my team
I traded out Swan
etc etc

*With only 1 zero this week (Zaharakis) I'm still only looking at a score of 1600. FMDT*

Just every move I have made has been shit and this is why this game is so frustrating. Anyway, I will happily turn to trading in some uniques now

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Finally traded Lolblett in this week after gambling on him not making his BE last week.

F^$@ you Gary. F^$@ you very much.

Also F^$@ VS for giving me an absolute crap draw over the byes. Had my 3 opponents been moved around in an anti-clockwise direction, I would have played them all when they had the majority of their best players out. FFS.

This. One of my leagues has me playing against a guy who averages about 100 points less than me but who only has 1 zero compared to my 4.

What about goontastic from our Bay13 league? 6-2 ATM sitting 2nd on the ladder only 0.21% behind 1st, but is 16th for overall league points with a 1997 average, while you're 7th overall but 16th on the ladder @ 2-6. The luck of the draw plays a big part in league wins.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Vent at the sub effect leading to Sandilands, Stephenson and Malceski playing about one full game between all 3 of them. Turned my 4 zeroes caused by Scotland, Pendlebury and Shaw into effectively 6 zeroes. Carnage.

Well I have had a 2 point loss, a 10 point loss and a 7 point loss (last week, Pendles and Horsley were both subbed out and Plugger must be the only Dream Teamer on the planet who didn't have either of them). To a lesser extent I think I lost to you by 20-something points or so.

37 points actually. But yeh you've been really unlucky in our league despite having a very strong side.

You mentioned earlier that trading out NRoo was your biggest mistake this year, but I think trading out Brad Ebert was your biggest mistake TBH. I'm not sure when you upgraded him or to whom, but he currently has a 107 season average, has averaged 109 over the last 5 rounds & 112 over the last 4 rounds. Sorry mate, not trying to rub it in, just wondering why you traded him out, being a Port man and all and him being so consistant all year as well as being a super premium unique

Wanted to get Horsley in and had nothing but cows who were nowhere near being matured or super premiums, plus Ebert and Barlow. Had to make a decision on which one to dump and decided to keep the more proven option, especially as Ebert had slipped back into the 90 range in the preceding few weeks which was where I'd expected him to score at the start of the year. Barlow's been fine, but in hindsight I probably made the wrong choice there.

I rate the Riewoldt trade as worse than the Ebert/Barlow decision because a) It cost me an extra trade rather than just making the wrong decision on a 50/50 who to trade out and b) Barlow's been a lot closer to Ebert than Cloke has to Riewoldt. I also traded Scotland in last week instead of the other two options I considered which were a) trading Birchall in instead or b) using up my trade on trading Robinson in for Magner instead. That probably cost me more points than either of the above two decisions, but I don't blame myself as nobody could've foreseen Scotland's injury.

Sorry mate, not trying to rub it in, just wondering why you traded him out, being a Port man and all and him being so consistant all year...

Being a Port man was part of the reason I traded him out. I don't particularly like having Port players in my Dream Team, I find it distracting.

 

[PIGSTi]

Some bloke was saying he traded McEvoy - McIntosh - Sandilands...I think we'll hear from him soon

Yep that was me!!!!!!!!!!! heck this game! Also had Zaka!

McEvoy > HMac (the same week as his injury) > Sandi (the same week as his injury) > Cox (going to put the hoodoo on WC.

3 Wasted trades in the ruck not upgrading. Oh and I bought Ablett back in this week for Kennedy......................Not to mention I still have Scotland and Pendlebury to deal with.

This year is a total write off!

 

[new breed]

Sorry i had no Rucks playing this week , so I traded in Sandi , Unforgiveable I know , have been in-hiding so at least give me some credit for owning up a day later !

 

[Jars458]

Ablett, Zaha, no player getting over 100 so far. What a crap fest. At least Essendon and Richmond lost for the lulz.

 

[Keystone agony]

Everyone else isnt playing like Smedts, Duffield, Zaka ect so why not you Ablett. Would have scored more this week had you not played.
