So Robinson ended up costing me a game. I can't get a break this season.. If a player is out guaranteed he's on my team.

This season is now beyond a joke for me. For the first time this year my SC is ranked higher than my DT which is absolutely ridiculous considering I have wasted many many trades on my supercoach in my unsuccessful attempt to win round 12.
My worst SC trades:
Broughton -> Dempsey who was injured that week
Watson -> Ziebell who I later traded to Mitchell
Pendlebury -> Conca (Round 4)
Waters -> Newman
H.Bennell -> Whitecross who was traded to Brent Harvey who was then traded to Stevie J
Boyd -> Podsiadly
In terms of trading for overall ranking all of the above trades are absolutely disgraceful and yet my SC is now ranked above my DT by about 200 places (~7000 to ~7200)
WHAT THE ****? FMDT!

This season ive definitely learnt its better to hold onto an underperformer and fix it later in the season
Sideways trades are the devil
But also some of those trades are pretty terrible
Pendlebury > Conca????

Most of my players didn't make their projected scores, was missing Robinson, Tippet got injured with 21, had Zorko as captain. Not a good round!

Note I did say that I was attempting to win round 12 and that is why I traded all my round 12 premiums early (Watson, Pendles, Broughton, Fyfe although that was a forced trade) in the season so all of those trades that I listed were made with that single intention but yes even then a lot of them turned out horribly. What I am trying to emphasise is that in the scheme of the overall season all those SC trades I listed were obviously absolute shit AND YET I have not made anywhere near as bad trades with my DT but I am now ranked lower overall.
I realise it is comparing apples and oranges but I think it just shows how crap my DT now is

Carlton can **** off (in general). Why name Robinson last week when he's still not fit to play this week. So sick of teams knowingly putting up straight bullshit for team selections.

How the hell do all three of my league opponents this week not have Sidebottom? I thought everyone had Sidebottom.

Sidebottom, Franklin, Robinson = 1 zero
Broughton, Darley, Shaw = 1 zero
FFS. Shaw's injury is the worst timing. Costing me 2 zeros. God knows why Sheedy doesn't like Darley and as for Broughton well who knows. Still think Lyon just hates him.

Hilariously despite having Franklin, Sidebottom and Robinson... I get Taylor Adams and Devon Smith back this week! So I have cover and no zeros for me 
(Shift Sidebum to mid bench with Gibson sporting the (E) flag). This might actually be a good thing for me as I'm sure most ppl above me in the rankings are copping at least 1 zero with the outs (plus Couch and Magner etc. for some).

This week I am missing:
Sidebottom
Franklin
Robinson
Zaharakis
Broughton
Hargrave (maybe)
+ S. Shaw
4 trades left but I think I'll hold for now. Copping one zero in my forwardline which will be absolute shit this week with Travis Cloke my 5th forward (Well maybe 6th if Treloar has surpassed him
)
