This might be a week or two early for some, but my year this year was an unmitigated disaster. Burnt so many trades trading out injured players, only to bring them back in again, and then watching as they went and got injured again.
I love a POD as much as anyone, but none that I picked really delivered this year, and the POD's I passed up absolutely killed it. Cheers to whoever it was that talked me out of Toby Greene when he was dirt cheap. In hindsight my starting team was very unsettled and I wasn't happy with it and made way too many changes late in the piece with really risky obscure picks.
Also, it was just so great to see Whitfield and Lloyd going massive every week at the start of the year when I owned neither and by the time I bring them in they start performing as I expected them to at the start of the year.
And on that, it seems like there aren't as many uber premo's that you can have full faith in every week compared with years past. Towards the end of the year it was always obvious who the absolute must haves were and if you didn't have them you were going nowhere. And the list was usually extensive. This year, when looking at the year as a whole who are the 'must haves'?? Grundy.... and that's about it. I can't think of many others.
Interested to hear everyone else's thoughts and how their year has gone.
