Roast 2014 SuperCoach Regrets/Vent Thread

[Hairy Lager]

flipping NRoo, the micro weaner. Costing me so much cash and points.

 

[Feerits Elf]

Is Langdon > Jaensch (passing over Hanley) the worst trade of Supercoach 2014?

Would be sitting 200th overall if I'd gone with the latter.

No. My Boomer>NRoo trade back in rd2 was a howler.

Put down the glasses lads. There's the winner!

Was it you that also traded out Beams for Monty around round 8?

Beams>Steven. Following week Polec>Beams & flipped Steven>SJ

Looking back on my trade history, I've made some really poor decisions which pretty much sums up where I'm at today.

Ah Steven, that's it. Don't worry mate I traded out Higgins for Ambrose in round 2 and Griffin was my first midfield upgrade in round 5 or 6.

Griffen been unfortunate. Traded him in also because of his huge ceiling. Worked last year. This year...FAIL.

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

I actually don't have a great deal of regrets thus far. I've been extremely lucky and dodged quite a few bullets. Went close to getting fatally wounded but dodged these crackers. Was very close on each occasion:

1. Trading in NRoo when he started on fire.
2. Trading in Swan when he bottomed out.
3. Getting on Jaensch.
4. Rioli.... Twice
5. Montagna when he punched out 3 x 140+ scores.
6. Mumford.
7. Steve Johnson.

And moreover here's the players that were on the chopping block for them;

1. Martin - started slowly
2. Brought in Libba instead
3. Went with malceski
4. Stuck fat with Zorko and brought in Breust
5. Held out for Jelwood
6. Kept the faith in Lobbe
7. Brought in Harvey

Like I said, pretty lucky but honestly, had reasons on each occasion.

I regret 2 weeks ago not trading Swan to Miles and then using the cash to upgrade Higgins to Buddy and Langdon to Swallow. That was the plan I had but instead ended up with Wingard and Jaensch becasue it saved me a trade and meant I kept slightly better bench cover .

 

[General Banter]

Plenty of regrets this season, not just trades but also not getting on blokes at good times & inclusions/non-inclusions at start of season.

I've had Gibbs & dusty in my team pretty much every year but didn't go near them this season & both are flying. Mitchell & deledio have not only been big scorers, but usually very durable. Put both in this season & injury struck.

I inexplicably opted for bob murphy over a cheap (at the time) Heath shaw when upgrading Langdon. I considered fyfe but held off due to high BE, when I should have got on but didn't he has since pumped out 2 x 150+ scores.

In a season with a massive lack of rookie priced defenders/rucks/forward to downgrade to, I missed the boat on McGovern

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Probably should have done Derickx to Martin a few weeks back.
Yeah would have cost me a trade but the money generated there could have been used to upgrade Suckling to Hanley.

 

[Super Hans]

Taking Nic Nat over Jacobs two weeks ago... yuck.

 

[The_Steadier]

Taking Nic Nat over Jacobs two weeks ago... yuck.

that's not as bad as those who were talking up trading sauce to nic nat.

Not sure how many followed through with it, but that extra 150k would want to being used pretty darn well (like 100ppg well) I would have thought to make it worthwhile.

I traded Sauce to Nic Nat, regretting it now but I thought Sauce would drop in price as I thought he was going to be playing with a bit of a niggle. Fairly sure it brought Boomer in for me so not too bad.

 

[AnthonyBPC]

The dumbest move I made was bringing in Rampe when he strung a few good scores together... oooopppsss

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

I feel for you. Was considering bringing in nic Nat myself. Sooooooo glad I didn't

 

[Rookie Error]

1. Marc Murphy instead of Callan Ward (Ward was sub 500k)
2. Hibberd instead of Malceski (S Mitchell replacement)
3. Boak instead of Fyfe (Fyfe had the flu at the time & Boak had just scored 150+)
4. Starting with Andrew Walker at his high price
5. Impey and Georgiou

 

[Jiska]

Having Rocky (139) as VC and being at a bucks and forgetting to loophole him before GAJ scored **** all

 

[Jiska]

Oh FFS. Now to compound my drunk lack of thought in loopholing Rocky GAJ goes off 2 min in to the third.

GOD DAMN YOU PURE BLONDE

 

[Vapor]

Starting the season with Gary Ablett...

 

[big bootaaaaah]

Having Rocky (139) as VC and being at a bucks and forgetting to loophole him before GAJ scored **** all

I went to swap him and the site was down for maintenance so couldn't anyway.

 

[Krujan]

2. Hibberd instead of Malceski (S Mitchell replacement)
3. Boak instead of Fyfe (Fyfe had the flu at the time & Boak had just scored 150+)
4. Starting with Andrew Walker at his high price
5. Impey and Georgiou

Murph will end up averaging more than Ward. Bookmark it!

 

[Island Bomber]

Not keeping enough trades for situations like GAJ. Only 4 trades left.

 

[Broar]

Wingard never again.
