I'm sure like many others I do not like to do sideways trades (with premiums especially), but unless I watch the replay and form a logical explanation for such a spud performance señor Darcy will be exiting my team, stage left, pronto. If nothing else hopefully i will sleep better at nights

Traded Daniel after his 19... In the end would have been better keeping him!
I remember ranting about Daniel's 19 at the time. To make matters worse, I believe he was suspended for the following week's game as well.
I ended up keeping Daniel for the rest of that season and I recall he averaged around 99 in the remaining games. However, his variance was huge. Some games he got 120+ and other games he was like 50s and 60s which was super annoying.
I think I was more upset of the fact that I started Daniel over Tom Stewart that year when they were similar starting prices. Stewart was scoring so well too.
Looking back, it's probably a lot to do with Bevo screwing up Daniel's role and making him float in the mids/forwards (without ever competing for possessions/disposals) instead of his solid consistent role in the defensive line.
Darcy will probably still score will this season but I can definitely see the argument of considering to trade him out this week. Depends on how you use the cash to better your team. I know I will strongly consider it even though the "smart play" might be to keep hold and back him.

Probably an element of people working them out a bit, Longmuir has done a sensational job outreaching their talent level but has looked a bit like the two sides they played had worked out how to nullify them a fair bit.
Doesn't help that they lost Mundy (their best ball user and line breaker) and Acres (their best midfield link man) and have replaced them with JOM (bad ball user) and Hughes (non-factor).
They just don't have anyone really capable of taking on the inside kick in their midfield, effort is great but they just lack class, speed and kicking skills through there. The gap between the top and bottom sides isn't much these days.

The first rule of the rant thread is not to derail the rant. It's a safe space away from those smug annoying happy grateful people.
Their thread is in a parallel universe called Happy, happy, joy, joy.
And the first rule of Happy happy joy joy is not to burst their balloon 🎈.
I think I just unintentionally ranted.

All I'm (expletive) saying is that it would be nice to go through one (expletive) round without an (expletive) premium going down in the first fifteen (expletive) minutes. Couldn't be an (expletive) rookie, could it? No, it has to be some normally (expletive) rock solid premo that plays every (expletive) week. Javla fan.
I dont know the SuperCoach age demographic, have noticed more kids playing both on this site and a private league I play in, which has a few father/son teams.
Nor do I study the government laws but from the giste of this article id hope that logo should be banned soon?
Though the ban according to the article only starts in April.
I think gambling, smoking (already in place), alcohol and sugary food adds should be banned full stop.

Oh and while I'm at it, political donations to political parties should be banned as well. How can pollies possibly be impartial when assessing these decisions, when their party receives so much money from them!

I think this is in the UK not Australia although we should have it here if we don't have anything. Australia is pretty slack when it comes to a lot of regulations or at least applying them. Eg medicines or chemicals banned overseas still used here. Look how pathetic the rules are applied to vaping. Not supposed opt be able to sell vaping products to kids under 18 and you need a script. But every second kid at school vaps.
Anyway I sent an email to the SC website. Do not expect a reply but lets see what happens.

Mate I don't know if you've ever watched 'What the Health' ? but that's a real eye opener as to who funds all the so called watch dogs of our health in the food industry. It's a disgrace and rampant corruption...and now back to the Footy
