Hey Rowsus , just wanted to say once again top job i love coming to this thread i can find so much info without asking a question because you seemed to have already answered them
and it always helps to read another persons take on player we may have a feeling about .
keep up the great work mate,
oh one quick question can you the Muppets getting to the final rounds with some trades intact this year
Maso old mate. I think there is more chance of St Kilda playing Melbourne in the 2015 AFL Grand Final then there is The Muppets having any trades left come finals time.
Hope this helps - best of luck for the upcoming season.
Hey Maso, I'm glad you're enjoying it.
I've got good news, and bad news for the Muppets. I'm predicting a hellish season for nearly everyone, trade-wise this season. Ruck coverage problems, combining with few Rookies with good JS, and Premiums with dicky shoulders and generally poor game counts this season, will have nearly everyone burning through their trades at a record rate.
SC will become very polarised this. Those with a focus on League glory, and confidence in their ability to make the finals even though they've eaten a handful or more donuts along the way, will be giggling in delight come SC finals time, as they still have 3 to 5 trades up their sleeves.
Those with a focus on overall ranking will quickly get that "Oh Oh ......" feeling in their stomach this season. They will keep throwing trades on the fire, burning them quicker than last weeks pay, as they keep telling themselves "It will turn soon, I will stop getting injuries/missing Rookies/suspensions", but they won't. It will be the season of SC carnage, and all across the nation SC'ers will be bemoaning their luck! Most ranking chasers will realise all to late, and decide by Round 15 "I've just got to start eating a donut or two here! I've only got 6 trades left, and there is another big storm on the horizon!". Some will ignore the warning, and keep fuelling the fires of despair with their last trades with a "Well, it looks like my season is ¤#"&ed anyway" approach. The number of ghostships will be so high this season, people will not be talking about that they have one in their League, but how many they have in their League! The crystal ball says the Muppets will throw the brakes on trading in Round 15, with 5 left. They will manage to crawl to the finals with one or two in hand, but the damage has been done. The Muppets come across a crafty League oriented opponent in the second week of the finals. This opponent has weathered a storm of donut induced losses, but come through the trial of fire, and has more than a fistful of trades to strengthen his/her team in the last few weeks. For The Muppets it is all too little, too late, and they are quickly put to the sword by a team with more depth.
Heed the warning people! Be prepared to eat a Rookie donut or two early on. Those trades you are burning to cover a 60-70 point donut in Rounds 4 and 5, will be worth a lot more than that in Round 16!
