What's up everyone, have been overseas since round 7, so havent posted anything for ages..its bloody hard doing sc while being away but have managed to stay ranked at 3400ish. just wondering what has pissed you off the most this season (missed trades, form slumps etc.). Also what are you glad about this season (a surprise unique you had, didn't choose a player that everyone else did then they got injured etc.)

For me the most annoying things have been:
-toy instead of Stanley
-not getting savage (wasn't sure of his js)
-being sucked in by wards preseason scores (had my eye on him last year which is what made me jump on so quickly)
- trading in wallis instead of isles (if I traded in isles I wouldnt have been able to afford my next upgrade but it probably wasn't worth getting wallis just for the upgrade)
-cam richardson
- getting adcock the week he went downhill (havent got one good score out of him)
- getting chapman at 540k then watching him plummet
- Judd instead of Murphy (not that big of a deal)
-goodes instead of okeefe
- not having heppell in my r1 team (was on him all preseason but didn't think his price tag was worth it after nab scores..the he starts busting out 90s...wtf!)

Things I'm glad about:
-Brent Harvey (when almost everyone was saying he was too old during the preseason..knew hed be find this year)
- a. Swallow as a unique, has been pretty good
- not having Higgins
Had my eye on l. Jetta and mcglynn all pre season, glad I didn't have them in my r1 team
- Franklin instead of rioli
-not having d. Swallow in my round 1 team. Every year there's always heaps of basement priced rookies who do just as well/if not better than the premium priced rookies. I'm most happy about this point.
-not having Andy otten

That's all I can think of for now..adios!
Love from costa rica

wardleduck

GOOD
Starting with Fyfe, S.Martin, Murphy, Boyd & Cox.
Swapping Grimes for Suckling when Grimes was injured.

BAD
Not getting Ablett sooner and not making him captain yet.
N.Riewoldt
Making Boyd captain the last 2 weeks.
Didak who is now injured & worth nothing.

i regret
toy over stanley
atley over savage
rioli over okeefe
l thompson over  s martin
gibbs over scotland 
judd over murphy

tferrier18

also happy I avoided cross and didak..would have had didak if not for krakouer and cross if not for the multi byes.
Yeah pleased I didn't pick atley..he wasn't really in consideration anyway though, he just got hyped up a lot when he slid in the draft.
Would love to have had Stefan martin, knew nothing about him though

Rommas

Annoyances - Bartel, Riolis frequent injuries, Andrew Swallows form since picking him up, Nick Riewoldt

Bullet dodged - Sylvia, Higgins, Didak, Sandilands

Getting Curnow a tad late was annoying. Didn't really think he could keep it up, but got him after one price inflate. Turns out as soon as i got him in, he scores got worse every week.

Getting in Ablett just after his bye, the perfect time :)

HotTiges

Bullet dodged - Sylvia, Higgins, Adcock

Should of/should of got
Scotland over Gibbs
Murphy over Judd
Trade Ward for Curnow instead of Conca early on
Libba and Curnow over Bewick
Stanley over Toy
Mundy early on, always a fan of him
Pendlebury over Swan
Kept faith with Yarran's pre season form and have him in rd1
Shaw over Grundy
Not get Richardson
Got Suckling in after first 2 games
Spent the extra coin on a better 4th mid then Ward ie Cotchin/Kennedy
Got in Fyfe
Bad rookie trade in
Siposs
L Thompson

Best trades to date
Toy > Enright
Sandi > Vardy
Harris > Priddis
Ward > S Thompson
Selwood > Ablett




LF

Bad
mundy in only to have to trade him out again 3 weeks later
having to trade either rioli or higgins out to save a donut and i picked higgins
coab to toy
trading out savage a bit to early
having to trade out selwood
trading shuey out to mundy and then mundy has a stinker and shuey absoutely kills it

Good
even tho i have it in the bad section of having to trade them out who i traded them to was great
mundy/selwood/higgins out mitchell/murphy/pav in
harris to ablett
putting the c on ablett and leaving it there
starting with pendles instead of swan
keeping the faith that pederson would play again this year
grimes to suckling
starting with cox

Ringo

Annoyances
8 LTI's (Brown, Grimes, Hayes, Jack, Mundy, Sandi. Coad, Drummond) causing unplanned trading to ruin plans would have been 9 as I am still carrying Tapscott in team
Suspension to Selwood
Continuing to pick players with Injury history Adcock, Higgins, Drummond will I ever learn
Byes and the General Soreness Injury

Good Moves
Sandi to Cox first week of injury
Mundy to Ablett
Selwood to Priddis
Warnock to Ottens but jury probably still out on this one

Bad Moves
Trading Higgins to Mundy when Higgins injured then Mundy goes down.
Not keeping faith that Richardson will play and trading to Dixon.

Better luck for me next year hopefully

Capper

Started the year brilliantly, 95 overall 1st round  ;D ;D and then :'( :'(, now about 10,000th.

Annoyances:
Bartel moving forward
Hayes, Grimes on LTI
Bartel headbutting everything
Sydney kicking at goal!!!! or trying to kick at goal

Good Moves
Strarting the season with Sandi, Cox and Zac in the rucks
Trading sandi to Griffin after first injury (luck played a part there)
Starting the seasin with swan as captain
Trading in Pendles for Hayes
Starting the season with Otten and keeping him
Getting ablett after 2nd bye
Not picking up J.Selwood
Trading out Tapscott, Darling, L.Thompson, Harris, D.Swallow, Liba at their peak in price

Bad Moves
Starting the season with Richardson, R.Tarrant, B.Smith, Didak, N.Riewoldt, JPK, Goddard
Trading out Lower, Stanley too early (especially for Adcock)
Starting the year with no Mid/For in my mids, all in my forwards
Not getting Curnow or S.Martin at the start

Mushi

Good

* A severly ultra consistent started with Pavlich, Franklin, Harvey, Goodes, Dangerfield, Richardson and Duncan with Krakouer covering in the midfield. Forward Line is now Pavlich, Franklin, Harvey, Goodes, ROK, Chapman and Krakouer (Darling/Lynch for main sub).
* Keeping Puopolo, D.Swallow, Z.Smith, Heppell since start, Keeping Pedersen after he got dropped for ages, Deledio and Gibbs
* Trading in Fyfe, Scotland, Shaw, Lower, Priddis :D

50/50 Results

* R. Murphy, Chapman (only had Chappy for one week, huge risk as always with injury), Keeping Boak, Swan and a suspended Selwood. Midfield woes should be solved when he returns. Priddis, Fyfe, Swan, Selwood, Cross and Boak (Swallow and Mzungu)
* Having a huge amount of midfielders in my side, 19 midfielders in my side currently

Bad

* Cross been given a tagging role, has really destroyed his scores this year
* Boak having not exploded this year, despite being probably Port's best player for the year, the others have been absolutely terrible, zero support for his game
* Unlucky with Grimes
* Keen for too many uniques in comparison to everyone else.
* My ruck curse continues, all of my ruckman have been injured or dropped. Sandiland, Jolly, Smith, Gawn, McCauley :(
* Devolving door of rookies resulting in burning too many trades. Curnow, Richardson, Tapscott, L.Thompson, Harris, Atley, Coad, B.Smith, Matera, Prestia, Hibberd (thought he wasnt gonna play), Duigan, Conca, McCauley.
* Not picking up Ablett when i had ever chance to
* S.Martin, Best pick of the year, completely missed him

Where has this game gotten me?
