Opinion Rant!

[Zoku Pops]

F3, David Mundy into Robbie Gray.

Average of 63, for players worth 520k.

Both times I've looked at heavily but dismissed Travis Boak as I believed the logical thing to do was to see his role with Wines in the side.

So far, I'm 291 points, 40k and a trade down. Potentially 2 when I ditch Robbie this week.

I genuinely can't think of a h2h I've got more wrong, or has been more costly in such a short period of time.

One position has effectively ruined my season, cruel game.

what if you have both ?

Then you win

 

[Herbie66]

Then you win

woohoo winner winner chicken dinner

Fess up, who else traded Gibbons out

Extra props to those that also traded out Fristch when he got dropped last season....

Decided I would keep English, and trade Nank to ROB.
English had a Ruck friendly Draw coming up, and I thought he might be able to average 75-80 in the next 4 weeks.
Nank was treading water, and a temporary citizen anyway. I figured dollar-wise, it was better to trade Nank.

Suddenly, Kreuzer was back in, and English wouldn't be facing Lobb.

Ummmed ........ aaahhhed.

Traded English to ROB.

So what happens? English 99, Nank 52.

47 points and about $30k worse off!

 

[Jim's Dim Sims]

Hore and Gibbons on the bench. Whitfield C. Andrews injured. Wallis 57.

Do you still have Harris Andrews & perhaps a Milera too?

Yes, Andrews and Milera.
Clark and Burgess on the bench not offering much in the way of cover, either.

 

[Pieman17]

Assuming you still have Wallis it hasn’t been a good week for you.

Wallis, Nank, Milera, Andrews.......

at least I never traded Hore out, that's something, I guess.

Only up from here, well that’s what I’m telling myself.

My rant: right before the Round 1 Cats-Pies partial lockout, I had Tim Kelly selected in my team, saved. I was tinkering with my team, the Cats game started, and the SC website would not allow me to save my team...so I exited SC, and it booted Kelly out of my team. I ended up filling Kelly's spot with Robbie Gray instead.

FM2019SCteam. Nice to get that rant off my chest after having it bottled up for 5 rounds!

 

[benlions]

I cannot believe I got so sucked into the first game factor that I started Balta over Drew.

but Drew started the first round as well.
Or you mean game 1 of round 1? - that is truly desperate for super coach gratification if so. haha, feel for you.

Yep, game 1 round 1! It was sheer desperation, lol.

Me2 ... for Constable after week 1.

Does that count? What if I said I also went with Hore > Ridley a couple of minutes before the first lockout and then dumped Ridley in round 2?

 

[Crackle]

Rant! Gawn's score was massively inflated. Apart from a few intercept marks in the 3rd quarter and a goal in the first I thought he had little influence on the game in a side that was well beaten. I just can't fathom how he scored 70 in that third quarter! Further to that he had 4 disposals with 2 being clangers, 0 tackles & 0 marks for 26 points in the last quarter when the game was dead.

50% DE, 3 marks total, 1 tackle 112 AF: 145 SC. Was ok at best.

Good to get that off the chest from a salty non owner, non VCer

is their still anything such as incorrect disposal when a player gets tackled , I am under the impression you need to kick it or handball not this it away , drop it or hand it off.

Maybe I have got it completely wrong

I used to think that way too but these days there is "attempted" disposal, which is absolute nonsense because you either disposed of it legally or illegally...

not just today , every single game I have watched

attempted ??? again open to every umpires interpretation

exactly you dispose of it or you don't

just umpire to the rules

so frustrating to watch
