Game Day 2024 Round 20 Discussion - the Carnage Continues

[gutsroy]

heeney
gawn
naicos
mekercher traded in an out twice lol
Jackson
Flanders
Grundy
tom Green
bont
Houston
Hornets

how have I used all but 2 of the 40 trades

Lots of 'must haves' we all jumped on.
Sweet a disaster, depending on how you did it, but the majority in here would have gone him.
Tom Green was can't miss,.must correct to a month in, then he shat the bed left, right and centre.
Jake the Snake Rogers so silky, Hugo García surely going to get a game week in, week out.
Hayden Young no good, fool's gold, till half of us brought him back in.
Nick Martin similar etc.
Easy to piss them up against the wall when we went at it harder than a bored grandma at the one armed bandits, and most of us blew a fuse time and time again.
TLDR: you're not Robinson Crusoe, don't stress

The big lesson for next year is that nobody is a must have and don't pay over 600k for anyone.

 

[Pocket Aces]

Looping Butters and Curnow tomorrow.

Would be good if Butters did nothing.

 

[Kadog]

Get Gov back but still 2 donuts this week. Nank & that gimpy lil campaigner Fisher.

 

[cznsnowy91]

Managed to work my way into a donut this week with all of Fisher Richards and Krueger out in the fwds. It's a shambles down there, maybe I should use my last trade on another spud key forward to round out the trio.

Feel like Ablett up against the.Bombres in 1993 rocker_oz33, lone hand in the forward fifty, three pricks hanging off each arm.

Hahaha, how good's that?
What a game to have been there for, too
Good as Fish was (and later playing full-time ruck, was deadset class even in his latter years), Gaz topped him.
14 snags > 10 all day, every day. Fight me

If one more campaigner in one more meeting talks about how we're going to slice the elephant or whether or not we need to kick the tyres on cross-checking the holistic implementation sprint with the overarching vertical integration strategy, Scoops is gunna start bringing a crowbar to work.
Just speak like normal people,.campaigners, no bonus prizes for being the biggest bullshit bingo playa.

Scoops stress levels noticeably rising since his ill-fated 82 hour flight from Straya to Europe.

Might be time to chuck it in the bin and look for an easier field to plow.

 

[keithrichards]

Here's an exercise to get discussion going: how many starting players do you have left in your team?

Perhaps the best indicator of how terrible my season has been is that I have a grand total of SIX starting players left that aren't loopholes/roughies.

• Bont
• Gawn
• Heeney
• Daicos
• Steele
• Houston
• Rozee (roughie)
• Fisher (roughie, and may still be traded out again)
• Livingstone (loophole)

Gawn doing a fitness test this morning apparently. Still not entirely convinced he plays.

Surely if there is any doubt they're not going to risk an almost 33 year old ruckman. Which is bad for me. Lift Gawn, hide your pain during the fitness test.

Big BS bingo is by no means the first solution to the largely crappola dependency management problem. However, other solutions are often delivered in the context of a catch-all framework that requires a larger commitment. We should also believe that the two main approaches common at the time of this writing suffer from significant drawbacks, as first-generation solutions often do. We'll call these approaches "Whisky O'clock", " Yep that is really some big BS" and "F*** off you idiot Andrewy".

Thank you for listening. ...though having said that let me say this...

" Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups."

 

[swindle]

Please be in Gawn, let's me loop Curnow and Cameron so I'm more likely to get a 70 instead of a 50
Have Dowling stuck on my mid bench, should have kept 1 trade itb so I could play with dpps better

When does this happen?

When does this happen?

Training is on at the moment, I believe.

In what world does a bloke who got 27 touches, 24 tackles (yes, 24) and a goal in the VFL not get a call-up to AFL level after a team gets battered by 60 points? I hate the Dees so much.
