Discussion 2024 Round 1: Teams & In Game Discussion

That can also back fire. That thinking stopped me from rage trading Young to Stewart.

Not infallible so I don’t understand your point. You either were not confident enough in your ability to pick a player around Young’s price range as a starter and thus succumbed to the ownership or thought it was a rash decision to trade Young to Stewart after one round and seeking additional data (after consideration of various scenarios that could play out), so the risk appetite was not there to possibly bring forward the decision by one round.

The point I'm making is sometimes you can't be like Bevo, admit you made a wrong call, or the call wont work out and fix it.

To be fair I wasn’t saying do nothing, I was just saying don’t panic. If you see something that drastically changes your opinion on a players role, or a legit reason to make changes then you don’t want to be paralysed by fear. But you don’t need to do anything crazy because of a perceived bad start.
I held Martin as I liked the role and am backing him to tidy up his disposal. I traded Fisher because I reassessed my expectations he could be a low end keeper and therefore felt I could use the money more effectively.

If you thought Young was a bad pick, or thought his role would revert with injuries then a trade made sense. If you thought your preseason assumptions were still correct then makes sense to hold. But no point putting out a hindsight call saying it was wrong because of the scores, because if you back the right thinking in more times than not it is the right move.

I wasn't really saying anything either. There's no blanket rule for everyone though. Sometimes sticking fat is the correct call. Sometimes nipping it in the bud is. I'll trade Young. But that could still end up wrong. He could go 110 the next month.

I think injuries dictate most things. 40 trades is plenty to muck around if over the season you're avoiding those forced trades. Luck is a huge factor. You can't predict Gibcus doing an acl. On the flip side you can predict Yeo doing something
