Roast Vent Thread (Part 4)

[bombermick]

I thought about getting Adcock in, but decided Hanley was a safer bet to avoid injury. FU!
I also traded out Clarke - rather than Hargrave - because it supposedely saved me more zeroes. Fan bloody tastic decision that was.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Hargrave turned a certain win into a loss for me, ended up losing by 30 points that was after Treloar had turned a flogging into a close game by scoring 21 and Sexton had made it even closer by being a late inclusion for the other team....



Thought this week would be easy, should have one by 200, but no,

 

[Jezza Jenkins]

every match i lost i lost by a goddamn hargrave amount

 

[Ess_don]

"Dont worry about Hargrave being a late out, they said.. everyone else has him anyway, they said..."

Although his donut didnt really cost me any league matches, made them uncomfortably close though!

 

[James]

I don't know if i could trade in Adcock after last year. All it takes is for him to get put back into that lockdown role and he will give you consistent 60 odd scores.

Likewise. Will upgrade one of Clarke or Bugg to Carrazzo in a week or 2 who is more than capable of averaging 95+ even when playing a lockdown role.

 

[Spider Klein]

Didn't put Ablett captain but somebody said on this board anybody that didn't put Ablett Captain this week had been warned and is not allowed to vent so.......... Will vent at Treloar ruining his 3 game average so I gotta decide to trade him this week at top dollar or keep him covering a 0 and losing cash.

 

[Lukeaye]

For anybody who has rockliff(me), i have watched all his games and i can say with quiet confidence, that he will not be getting consistent 120+ games for the rest of the year. His role in the team has changed dramatically. And unless Voss changes that he won't be getting big scores anytime soon. Zorko and redden seem to be filling his old role.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Malceski (picking him over Waters or even Grimes is a decision that's looking worse in hindsight every week), Hargrave, Jenkins and Stephenson all left out. ****ing fantastic. My backline is going to be Shaw, Hanley and Jacob Brennan this week.

This bye round bullshit is really starting to kill my passion for the game this year.

Same here situation here, mate. I had my bye weeks planned beautifully, 1 downgrade and 2 upgrades this week with 0 doughnuts and 5 trades left after that. But now with Malceski, Hargrave, Stephenson OUT and Devon & Bugg on extended benches (Smith will probably not make the cut) I'll have 3 doughnuts even if I make the 3 trades, as well as 6 rookies on the field. What's the point when I'll probably still only manage 1600-1700? May as well just tank this week and keep my remaining trades before I lose total interest.

Will probably just do 1 downgrade trade this week now.
Orren > Campbell = 130k or Devon > Crozier 200k (if Devon is dropped) and upgrade next week...

 

[Cat for Life]

This is actually very solid thinking trade wise here James, you've certaintly improved this year.

 

[Spider Klein]

Venting a lack of forward downgrades.

Crozier seriously the only one and I aint that keen but if I don't take him I can't cash in Hall.

 

[Vincent Chase]

fuuu at Black getting dropped. why couldn't you hang in there one more game!!

also a preemptive vent at Williams for when he gets the green vest.

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Bought Goodes in

 

[Schulzenfest]

A big thanks to Nick Malceski, Ryan Hargrave and Scott Pendlebury for providing 29 points between them over the bye rounds.

 

[Vincent Chase]

FU Adcock. Bitch.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Venting at Boyd to raise the chances of him having an awesome second half to make me look stupid. 26 at half time against ****ing Brisbane

You traded in Handley over Adcock?

I hope this has taught you a valuable lesson on judging trades after one week

 

[Hawkas1988]

Boyd as captain, flipping infuriated!

You weak spud, I had swan as captain all week until the last minute, only blame myself I guess

Lol at you and everyone else bagging rocky this year. His lowest score was 61 in rnd 2 since then hes scores havent been too bad theres even been a few big scores, check his stats[/quo

 

[CaptScott]

Boyd for (likely) losing my league match
Doggies for losing me money!

 

[Scootyb]

Boyd for (likely) losing my league match
Doggies for losing me money!

this on both counts haha, dismal from the Bulldogs, its actually a good lesson because they havent beaten anyone of note this year and that realisation will help with further bets

You will notice i said consistent 120+, and i still stand by that. Im not bagging him, and remember i own him. I want him to do better. Also BL just vs'd the 2nd worst team in the comp, so dont get to ahead of yourself

 

[schnoods]

Venting at the lack of Dual position players (namely mid/def) and possibly (def/fwd). I know if it is too easy to chop and change then it leaves less skill/foresight involved but other than Deledio and Goddard, there isnt a mid/def that is much chop at all compared to fwd/mids (beams, sidebottom, bennel, zorko, etc).

But mind you im only venting cos of only having 1 trade left, 360k in the bank (+trade value), a hole in the backline due to lack of research of injuries at the start (traded my way to a somewhat respectable scoring team) and having troubles trying to fit a premium scorer without removing a adequate scorer while still retaining a below par back line.

Just noticed after reading your first post again u werent really bagging him, i apoligise. But there has been people that have. Bulldogs 2nd worse team bit harsh not far from that though

 

[Covvy]

Traded in Johnson and Broughton this week. Both below 30 at half time.

 

[Benno_900]

Broughton's role tonight better be a one off.

Don't need him playing a DT irrelevant role for the rest of the season.
