SuperCoach Regrets thread

[ThePezDispenser]

Choosing Martin over anyone.

Trading in Milera this week.

Luey and Fyfe (to make it worse they were below par in first two weeks anyway!)

Picking Ellis over Morris two weeks in a row.

Hargrave, Lake missing next week also I guess..

Looks like I'll be playing for comp wins from here on out, and getting ready for next year!

Broughton escapes the bashing this week.

I regret signing up for supercoach 2012

Not trading Caddy for Masten. ****, he's almost passed Caddy in the first quarter.

1. Traded Swan for Pendlebury.
2. Traded Grimes for Dempsey.
3. Lake gets suspended.
4. Fyfe possibly out for the season.
5. Cameron gets subbed.

All of this in 1 weekend.

Swan for Pendlebury? What's the point of that?

I feel your pain.

I'd be tempted to throw in the towel if it didn't piss me off that other people have done it in my leagues in past seasons.

Swan for Pendlebury? What's the point of that?

Swans been averaging about 90.

Pendleburys been averaging about 147.

Not rocket science.

But you wasted a trade early to trade a premium for another premium.

But you wasted a trade early to trade a premium for another premium.

I don't see why that's such a no-no.

Pendlebury was red hot and Swan was rubbish.

Before Friday, with the price changes Swan was going to go down and Pendlebury was going to probably maintain or slightly go up.

I wanted Pendlebury because he was playing so much better than Swan and if I waited it was going to be way harder to get him in due to price changes.

I regret making the change on Friday but I still think it will pay off.

 

[Dirtywhirl]

well after the 60 pendlebury is going to drop 40k and will have a break even of 220 for next week iirc. 2 weeks of 120 now will see him drop to 590k.

My step dad told me that he heard Pendles is injured and may miss a few games.

Better trade him bro.

 

[Easty]

Somethings you can't control, like injuries so I don't regret those initial pickups.

But I regret picking up Martin, Lucas and making Mitchell captain this week.

 

[Happy Daze]

Settle down lads its only the internet.

Got Thompson (adelaide) Danger, Buddy and Hale left. Not a good week for me, but don't think I'm alone there. Will get to 2k but not much past that.

 

[Axe]

Keep it civil thanks all.

 

[MightyMark]

Where do I begin, Cox, Martin... You know what, I regret playing SC at all this year!

To much stress, I like my hair, kinda want to keep it

Rookie mistake... you just don't trade premiums in this game! (Unless it's an LTI)

 

[lamaros]

Regret choosing Fyfe and Martin. Thought they were too expensive but wasn't brave enough to pick N Riewoldt and Jetta as I wanted to.

Regret not picking Stanton, as I have every other year.

Somewhat regret Mumford over NN. Early days I know.

 

[TheBuzz]

My pain began with my captain (De?)Pendles going missing on Friday.

All week I had a trade pencilled in Boak > Scott Selwood. Looked at it a dozen ways a dozen times & was happy with it.

Last hour I decided to push Lids into the midfield & do Boak > Dempsey instead.

Pain increased with 1/4 time subbing of Dempsey.
Pain multiplied with BOG effort from S.Selwood.

..............Then I watched my boys beat the Cats for the first time in 5 years, & all my pain went away

 

[Ball Hog]

I regret EVERYTHING! I scored 1891 this week. Problems included Pendlebury captain over Ablett, Broughton -> Dempsey trade, Fyfe + Martin + Hargrave + Magner + Bennell + Hanley all scoring well below expected as well as a few poor rookie decisions.

I am now going to make ALL of my trades in an attempt to win round 12. I don't care if that means using 20 trades or more until then but it is my only hope to have any sort of chance at winning anything this year. I don't care at all about leagues and now with an overall ranking of about 55,000 I figure I may as well throw all my eggs in one basket.

Hawthorn play Brisbane in round 12, Richmond play GWS & North play Gold Coast. I expect to have many Hawks, Tigers and Kangaroos in my team by round 12 and no round 12 premiums on my bench.

 

[coryne]

My regrets now include

Rioli. I figured "come on, he SURELY has to be over his injury worries and will spend more time in the midfield thus big points. Result. 116, 89 and 54 resulting in a -$31k drop in price + concerns over his groin


Martin. Got sucked into the hype. Figured he is a MPP so having him in the forward line = BIG scores. Result = 89, 68 and 70 and -$44k in price

Mumford. Too early to tell, but I figured his durability will be a HUGE asset. Result = missed rd 2

Shaw. Figured he would be a solid defender (who are usually hard to pick) if he stays away from the TAB. Result. Scores of 91, 76 and 98 for a price drop of -$30k

 

[Skystyler]

I regret two panicky, sideways trades that blew up in my face this weekend. Got rid of my favourite young player in Luke Parker because I feared his broken jaw would have him playing a lesser outside game (as appeared to be the case against Freo) and Duffman because I didn't think he'd get up after being taken to hospital the week before with a suspected punctured lung! Both players got the ton. Hurn and Masten did OK too, but I would rather have the 2 trades back.
