Haven’t had Cripps all year now I finally bring him in (and make him captain).

He then gives me this. Won’t even get 90 at this rate.
Ouch. I brought him in this week too, but at least I didn't make him captain.

That’s a great stat mate. Not one I needed or wanted to know considering I’m one of the idiots that traded him out too. ?‍♂️
I probably need to workout where I spent the money when I traded him out , but I don't think Darling & Westy are averaging that combined in the last 7 weeks.

Not sure what was up with Mundy in the first 2 weeks , but doesn't look like slowing down anytime soon

I went to Rocky via dpp, but ultimately the spare cash was used to bring in Lloyd. Do not a fail there I guess.

How I have screwed my team this year - traded rookies and their last 3 scores:

Balta rd 2 - 82, 101, 85
Hore rd 3 - 88, 89, 75
Atkins rd 7 - 87, 12*, 114
Clark rd 7 - 81, 33, 85
O’brien Rd 10 - 91

Meanwhile i’m eating Scrimshaw weekly injuries, Parker’s turds, Petracelle’s mediocrity, Butters BS and am without Baker and pretty much any half useful rookie to field.

And don’t get me started on Rocky (my rd 9 dice roll) or Brouch (still can’t believe he got a 39 possession 80 today when I look at the list of rookie scores above)

Always a round that defines when the SC season is made or destroyed and this one has sealed it for me. Would have liked to held hope till the byes but now it just a matter of turning to leagues.

Sadly I can’t say I have learnt anything from the year as I suspect I would have made the same moves again if circumstances were repeated. Just a turd if a year.

Yasi, while my jealousy of you keeping Mundy lowers my concern for your season significantly, I do think you should seek advice about your dietary choices. ;):p

Rant:
Essendon showed last night why we're on a path to nowhere imo.

Played abysmal football in the first 3 quarters, decided to kick a few goals and make the game interesting in the last, then killed momentum through skill errors.

Injuries aren't helping either.

Having no real key targets up forward meant our structure broke down in coming out of defense. Weather didn't help in that regard either.

With Rocky getting injured now, this trade is starting to look like the worst one I’ve ever made in SuperCoach. Definitely belongs in the rant thread.

Checked SC after final Friday teams were announced and for some reason it showed me a green tick on Setterfield.
Decided I'd trade Baker and keep Constable to avoid losing cash.
Turns out Setters wasn't playing which I didn't know until the round had started so I couldn't reverse trades.
Had no midfield cover so copped a donut which would have been 100+ points from Baker if I only had have double checked the teams myself rather than relying on SC Gold.

Traded in Neale ?????
Hopefully does better than Bont in 2017, who averaged 95 from about R9 when I got him.
