Opinion Rant!

[Vicwood]

Just visted the AFL site to check the stats from last nights game. Betcha Buckley will look at them and convince himself that they were in the game.?Am I sure I’m not the only Collingwood supporter to ask WHY wasn’t Darcy moved down back when Howe limped off.

DeGoey, a broken nose and gets an early shower. Expect more from a highly paid player. But I guess that’s just me living in the past. You remember when the football stars where making a few hundred in match payments and continued to play on when a bit of blood dripped from their nose. Should have let De Goey go 3 years back......one of the most hype AFL players on any list.

Club is in an absolute mess.....but everyone could see it happening after the embarrassment of the trade period last year. Could luck attracting any talent when your head coach behaves this way.

Nathan time to leave..........

AFL Site. Look at the image they have chosen for today’s GF. What do you all think.

Very concerning that I'm posting here for the second straight week but I really have a few things I just need to say.
Here goes...

1. West Coast Eagles. Put everything about SuperCoach aside, this was an absolutely gut-wrenching loss. An utter choke job. Leading the game by 33 points in the 3rd quarter and then not scoring a single goal until full-time to end up losing by 20 points. Literally none of the experienced players stepped up in terms of leadership and the entire midfield pulled off a disappearing act that Houdini himself would've been proud of

2. This clown below 🤡🤡🤡

As if the above wasn't enough to completely screw you over in H2H matchups (not to mention the 150k upcoming drop in price), just to top it all off...the guy goes and does this below to earn a week off. He's probably earned himself a one-way ticket out of my team too

3. The rookies. My bench had more DNPs than weight loss supplements. But the rookies that did play, well they definitely put in a fantastic performance right?

4. Who likes playing spot the difference?

Should have gotten 4 weeks. It was a bad one.

De Goey was ruled out for concussion. I don't disagree with some of your other comments, but I can't say I don't enjoy seeing the Pies a mess.

Time to take the mod hat off and go for a dirty rant

The rolling team announcements can GAGF. Forced a donut.

Clark out announcement comes at 6:20pm Sat

Heeney and all my DPPs lock out at 4:35pm Sat so needed to execute both trades before 4:35pm.

Had I known Clark was out on Friday, would’ve done Clark to Jones instead of Jordon to Waterman to save a donut.

Would’ve meant Scott on field over Waterman and Jones instead of a donut. Essentially costs me 100+ pts on rookie selections.

Ridley concussion sub on top of all this last night to just rub that salt into the wounds.

Agree mate
These things ruin our seasons

Yep. On top of Heeney’s injury sub score last round, his fixture time caused a donut

 

[Connoisseur]

Some great rants so far (both SC and non SC related) with plenty still to come, which should provide us with superb and unfiltered material for an end of season group rant-

Jordon out caps off a catastrophic weekend!

Rolling announcements fundamentally changing the game. Fascinated to see if things return one we’ve a had the jab, but it’s not made SC all that fun.

Round 5 2021...

/rant

 

[BomberArmy]

So far team carnage - Butters, Caldwell, Harmes, Young, Degeoy (might only be one week but he’s ****) and Daniels (**** and suspended.
I’ll be luck to finish a team this year

Think I might have you covered.. have copped Heppell, Danger, Gresham, Daniel, May, Howe, Ridley, Cerra and LDU.. my season started so well and is now completely ****ed..

that is shocking, can't believe how many injuries you've had. Keep plugging away.

 

[Brettthejett]

Hate the rolling lock out personally the old set and forget team bring it back please. I can’t sit on my phone or computer/iPad all weekend and wait for teams and do loops ect

Round 5 2021...

/rant

You still beat me by about 200. I think I have more to rant about

 

[MC's Mix]

Dangerfield.... are you fu*king kidding me?!
Kept him for the 3 week suspension, knowing he will be a top-liner and managing to snag a handy VC loop with Grundy in that first week...
Now his injury 'might see him spend considerable time on the sidelines...'

 

[Gruffles]

Think I might have you covered.. have copped Heppell, Danger, Gresham, Daniel, May, Howe, Ridley, Cerra and LDU.. my season started so well and is now completely ****ed..

Are you a closet SC atheist? Because our Gods certainly do not favour you...

As for my season (which is going down hill steadily), I have been praying to them and offering a deal as such. They may take a month off of my life for every right decision I make regarding my team hence forth. Some may say this is striking an absurdly short sighted bargain but I am pretty sure I can renegotiate those months back in future deals.

That's how religion works right?

 

[gutsroy]

Sometimes you’re the hammer, sometimes you’re the anvil.
Except in SC, in SC you’re pretty much always the anvil...
Feel for Danger owners, anyone who copped multiple injuries on the weekend, to name just a couple.
Stuff like that really takes its toll in terms of the enjoyment factor.

I know, it’s started to feel like a bit of a chore, hasn’t it?

I sent a feedback message of to SC about this.
Not hopeful anything will change, but if enough people complain maybe they'll do something.

AFL have changed the rules ie rolling team announcements, but SC haven't changed to keep up with it.
Extra trades and/or the ability to reverse trades once the round has started, so long as the player hasn't played were my suggestions.

Edit: Sorry, I just got what you're saying. Disregard earlier post. Good suggestions.

I'd like the AFL to change it back, and have the option to alter trades made involving players that haven't played (in/out.)
