Broughton.
Are you ****** serious?
How DARE YOU TEASE ME BY PLAYING OUT THE REST OF THE GAME!
 
None of you have anything to bitch about until you see my stupidity. I was doing better in my first ever DT season than I am now, and back then I didn't know half the players in my team.. I don't know what was going through my head this year. We're 8 rounds in and I've had enough. I've got 7 trades left after making yet another 2 this round. Just check this shit out.

Let's start with the backline.
From the start I chose a combination of McPhee, Ellis, Macdonald, Hunt & Ladson. WTF

The following are a bunch of actual X or Y choices I made at the time:
- Ellis (avg 75) instead of Hodge (avg 108), only 20k cheaper than Hodge. I thought, "hey, I'll be different and NOT get Hodge :thumbsu:" dumb ass :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:
- Macdonald (6 games, 71) instead of Malceski (87), plus he was 60k more than Malceski :thumbsdown:
- Hunt & Ladson (59 & 60) instead of Waters (81) & Silvagni (7 games, 68) :thumbsdown:
- Gram (6 games, 79, now out for AT LEAST 4 weeks) instead of Goddard (105) :thumbsdown:

And I can assure you, each of those were X or Y decisions.....

So what did I do?

Traded out McPhee for Carazzo after round 1 (wasted trade even if Carazzo's been good)
"Upgraded" Ladson to a cheap Hargrave. Verdict still out on this one... (but most likely a wasted trade unless Hargrave gets his shit together)

Overall though, it is shithouse. Maguire is my 4th best back, 3rd best before I traded this week.


Onto the midfield
For some ****ed up reason I chose Mackay, who originally cost 320k and has played 4 games to average 68. Finally came back into the lineup this week but I'm not expecting much from this chump.
Also chose too many cheap bastards (Trengove, Scully, Bastinac, Martin), who are now depended upon for points every week cos I don't have the trades to get rid of them. Traded out Martin for Goddard in the mids this week though so I could swap Gram there and play the higher scoring mids instead of those shitty and unreliable backs.

Overall, weak as piss midfield.


My rucks are the best
- chose Ottens (5 games, 67, and now dead till round 12+) instead of Hille (82)
- chose Jolly :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

This is where it gets good.....

Traded out Jolly for Seaby after round 2 cos Jolly scored 34 & 39. Seaby then scored 142 over the 4 rounds I had him (avg 35) before his 12+ week injury :thumbsu:

"Ok bad luck. I'll just trade him out for.... hmmmm let's see... how about.. McIntosh! Yeah he's a good enough replacement"

The next week, Hamish scores 58 and cops a knock to the shoulder. Coincidentally, this is also when Ottens gets injured with his crap.

"That's ok, they're saying he'll be right to go next week. And Ottens, well, that's just more bad luck I guess!" Traded him out for Sandi Boy

McIntosh is a late withdrawal in rd 8 and isn't playing AGAIN this week..... sweet

Overall, **** you ****en rucks. I hate this ****ing position. Get a ****ing game Warnock you ****ing hack.


Forwards, the piece to ****ing resitance or whatever they say
First of all, was GOING TO put Brennan in from the start. Just saw him and said "yeah, he could go alright", but NO, chose to go with JOSH KENNEDY instead.

"But Mr Gor," you say, "Brennan is injured now for over a month, you did the right thing by not getting him."

Did I?

How about trading the bastard in after Riewoldt died cos I figured I was going to choose him before the season started and it would've given me peace of mind to have him after he ended up scoring 121 & 119 in his first two games? Still sound good?

Oh and Josh Kennedy, good stuff :thumbsu:. I wasted 120k upgrading you to O'Keefe, who's price is now dropping like a desperate hooker while yours is going up after that 112 you got.

Also, I chose Medhurst and Sam Wright from the start.......




let that sink in


Got rid of Medhurst for Peterson, who I then wasted 220k on upgrading to Colin Silvia. Silvia has averaged 55 since I got him and dropped 75k. Peterson is outscoring him these days...

As for Sam Wright, I traded in Podsiadly who is now my 4th best forward....

Oh, and I almost forgot, I've got Tippett and Dangerfield :thumbsu:

Overall
Shit team
Shit moves
Shit everything and we're not even halfway
 
You deserved that Josh Kennedy one. Gotta have a bit of faith in your mid-pricers and was always going to come good as the Eagles got their act together in the midfield. No injury concerns and no sub 60 scores from him this season so far IIRC.

Had him from the start and am pleased with it.

But yes, all those other decisions hurt. Deal with it, I guess.

That's a fine rant. I like how you detailed it all for us to read instead of just saying FML. I'm still laughing and I finished reading 5 minutes ago. Well played sir.

My only vent I have is I would like to be able to 3 trades in a week once per season - this week to be precise.

Never again will I put faith in mid-pricers. It's premiums, rookies and discounted guys from here on out. Too risky for a guy like me that doesn't know everything about every single player. I understand your faith in him, but when I was watching the West Coast games he just wasn't the guy taking the lead up marks, regardless of the supply. He hasn't exactly burnt me though.

Me dealing with it is using all my trades up until I have none left so it's impossible for me to ruin this year any more!

Great rant back there Mr Gor.

But with a name like that, you will only ever finish second best no matter how good your team is.

Also scored 80 against Melbourne, away, after missing almost an entire quarter due to injury. Started like a house on fire though.

Just keep in mind next time - mid-pricers are fine if you stick with them, unless there are injury concerns. There tends to always be other areas of your team that need more attention than a slightly underperforming mid-pricer. Remember, they are mid-price players, not premiums - you cannot reasonably expect 90 and 100 games from them all the time.

Throw in the towel and look forward to 2011? :rolleyes:

What the hell is wrong with you Gary Ablett? I bring you in 2 weeks ago after you were averaging 130+ and you scored something crazy like 167. Then you go and score 90ish and this week you're only on track for 90-100ish. WTF!

Was tempted to take the C off him and give it to Bartel, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. Regretting that now.

At least a ton would be nice but he's running out of time!

Pfft, I got him in last week after the 167.

Oh well, at least he isn't inflating the scores and racking up 300pts anymore.
