Early regrets & fruitful decisions

HappyDEZ · March 30, 2012, 12:21:15 AM

Early days, but feel free to vent any trigger happy mistakes or fruitful last minute decisions. I regret canning Mohr for Townsend, but got ridda Morris at the last minute, which turned out OK.

i regret dropping conca for being the sub, showed why i had him all pre season with 36 in under a quarter he played.

hoping he gets a few more subbed games over the next few so i can still pick him up cheap before he totally breaks out.

Yeah not happy with Ellis, could of played Marty Clarke instead. Except that I'm happy with tonights efforts. ;D

Not happy with starting Ellis. Should have tossed him on the bench as an emergency and waited to see what he did. And given I went the 1 premo/3 rookie ruck I'm saddened I didn't look at Kreuzer.

I've had Kreuzer in for the last few weeks paired with Cox as my starting ruck combo. I ummed and ahhed about downgrading him and using the cash elsewhere, but stuck with him in the end. He's repaid my faith so far, so hopefully he keeps a high-scoring position once Warnock comes back and can average around 90 for the season. Otherwise I'll be wishing I started with Giles as the second ruck like everyone else. For now though, happy with the POD.

Really wish I'd just gone and found the cash to turn Morris into Hargrave...

Oh and fielding both Ellis and Morris over Clarke/Bugg

Jukes · March 30, 2012, 02:08:15 AM

Starting Ellis over Bugg and Cameron over Kennedy :(

Phasir · March 30, 2012, 03:13:16 AM

I started:
Ellis > Bugg,
Shiel > McDonald,
Smith > Kennedy,
:-\ great start to 2012 champ

i have the obvious starting ones but i wouldnt change my team selection even if i had the chance so thats a good sign.

Actually maybee Mohr over morris but thats about it.

2 games in....

This thread is a bit silly IMO

It's a marathon not a sprint. "turn Morris into Hargrave" - Hargrave could get injured 3 minutes into the 1st quarter and then you'd be regretting that, Hargrave could return to a 50ave.

Colli your logic doesn't make much sense, you want him to keep getting subbed so you can pick him up cheap. Generally if players are continually getting subbed I avoid them all together. Players can also score a lot of points in 1 quarter starting as the sub because they're fresh and have legs so whilst 36 is good it might not be a true indication of how he'll perform in a game.

Solid calls, bit of week 1 nerves setting in I guess

egosbar · March 30, 2012, 09:05:39 AM

very dissapointed i didnt start yarran , but i did upgrade him to broughton so if he kills it ill be happy

very very dumb not to start bugg over morris but hopefully morris gets a few more games to prove himself , bought morris in only because webberly wasnt named as i would of had him

also gibbs after his first quarter to only score 104 is also a worry , i was thinking at least 120 from him after his start

not picking kennedy will cost me a trade if he gets 75 plus next week depending on how magner and clay smith go

anyone got any thoughts on clay smith , i dont remember any chat on him at all

Happy with my Carrazzo pick up so far but early days!!

oldshepp · March 30, 2012, 01:55:44 PM

Regret dumping Mohr only hours before the game because I was reading that as a KPP he will probably not score well. If last Saturday night is any indication he will be quite the cash cow !

upthemaidens · March 30, 2012, 02:01:43 PM

i started messing with my team,, and confused the bejesus out of myself.. then has they were tossing the coin for last nights game and i still hadnt saved my team,, panic took hold :-\ i quickly brought bower back into my team,but put him on the bench and fielded both ellis and morris.. its not the end of the world,but the lesson learnt from it was; DONT mess about with ya team 2 minutes from lockout haha ;D

(and that folks is my 1000th post yay!!!)
