Worst buys of the season

[Signd Sealed Saint]

For me they've been Daniel Kerr, who was nothing short of absolutely atrocious. I thought he would've learnt to cope with the tag this year, not so and now out with a groin. Traded out for Coughlan

Nick Malceksi, stinking it up scores 40's and 50's on a regular basis. He's been terrible. Now not playing which is a good thing with his b/e of 90 odd. Trading him out for Grimes this week.

Honourable mentions to Kane Cornes and Boomer Harvey.

What about you?

Cornes was averaging approximately 101 before last week, when he clearly wasn't right...

 

[crazyman27]

Buddy Franklin and Hodge have really offered nothing this year for their price.

 

[Saint KFC]

My premium forwards Gia and Didak. Atleast Deledio has been serviceable.

But Simmonds has to take the cake. I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive that ******** unless he averages 110ppg from now until the end of the season.

 

[gerling182]

Definitely Malceski, but I've learnt never to trust someone with synthetic body parts out of the experience!

Petrenko, what good is a cash cow that doesn't make money, come on lad, it's red and says "Sherrin" on it, touch it a few times...it will make you (and me) feel good!

Daniel Wells is trying to get onto the list, done alright when he's played, just that's not often enough for my liking!

 

[Dimitri_Mishkin]

This thread needs only one word.

Hodge.


End thread.

 

[HolyRioli]

David Hille

Was good for me last year, horrible this year

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Malceski.

 

[samwise]

malceski, raines and franklin were main disappointments but the main one is anthony. picking otten or rich would have helped me so much - more with money than points

 

[inthesong]

Um Lance Franklin anyone? He has been abysmal for me. But i really cant fatham the thought of trading him out for someone else yet....

thats been the only real bad one, Fev has been poor too but has some ripper weeks also. Other than that my team is averaging a solid 2000+ each week so im not complaining. Petrenko is shit though.

I have to agree with you here, I thought I would pick up this Spud for these reasons.

• The peak DT scoring age for ruckmen
• High scoring coming to the end of 2008
• Clearly the number ruckman in the team with some spud called Angus Graham as their second ruckman.
• Durable apart from one year

So what does the muppet do, plays like shit only to lose me around $70,000 and then gets dropped the SAME week that Jacobs decides to hurt himself.

If only I just started with McIntosh from the start.

 

[Dimitri_Mishkin]

For the sake of productivity, I will include more.

Hodge (cannot stress this enough, worst buy of the season)
Franklin (lose some weight tubby)
Cross (Been very disappointing in the last month...kick the damn thing!)
T.Tuck (Enticed me with his form, then stinks it up)
S.Tuck (similar to above. Had a few good weeks but not enough to warrant $400k
Gram (bought him after an excellent first 3 weeks...let me down constantly)

Of course these are only players from my team. Very disppointed with this year, was going far better at this stage last year

 

[Lakey91]

Simmonds, Buckley, Cloke, and to an extent Gia.

 

[chadleverington]

Honourable mentions to Kane Cornes

put down the crack pipe clown, he is averaging 93

 

[Hodges]

Simmonds, McMahon, Raines, Hentchel and Bock. Picking Hentschel over Ziebell was a really dumb mistake.

 

[Signd Sealed Saint]

If you're injured don't play and lose me a shitload of money. B/E is something ridiculous this week. Would've been better off playing Collins.

 

[Signd Sealed Saint]

Oh yeh and I forgot about Bock, Raines, Lucas and Skippy.

EDIT: And NG Brown, gee i have a lot of crap players now that i've checked my team...

 

[kenny712]

Why are people saying Kornes is one of their worst buys this season? Besides his last score, he put up respectable scores pretty much every week.

Mine would have to be Giansiracusa.

Only one clown is Simmonds was a shocker too. You are never going to get all 22 picks perfect though, and that is why they give you trades to fix any errors.

What does that matter? Who cares what his BE is?

You planning on trading out a keeper who plays every week, year after year? If bartel only scores 110 this week and goes down $3000 are you gonna whinge? Get a clue you muppet!

 

[Dimitri_Mishkin]

Mate, you have absolutely no clue.

Lucas and Skipworth generated cash, and contributed decent scores (if I recall, Skippy got 120 odd Round 1)

Good call with Bock and Raines, but to label Lucas and Skipworth among the 'worst buys of the season', youre obviously new to Dream Team.

 

[Notorious_29]

Gia AND Franklin AND Cloke in the forward line. cost me soo many points.

hodge in the backs.

and thats about it.


the day before lockout i had gibbs in the middle, skippy in the forwards and mcintosh in the rucks.

i changed this to skippy in the mids, cloke in the forwards and sandilands in the ruck.

****in hell. ah well still going alright.

I thought the same. He offered it all - prime age, durability, scoring propensity, job security.

On all accounts he has failed me. I still have him and he's lost nearly 100k, has averaged 62ppg in the 6 games that he has played so far and is a good chance to be dropped this week after another putrid performance.

I blame Graham. If he wasn't an exciting young prospect, Simmonds would still have his job as #1 ruckman.

I feel your pain, buddy.

Night before Round 1 I swapped Goddard for Hodge, and Gibbs for Shane Tuck

Needless to say, I cry myself to sleep every night.

Cloke and Simmonds (who was then traded to Hille).
