:o
Drew Petrie on 18 SC points 20 minutes in to the last qtr, at least that's one screw up I missed.
Mine is a beauty, I decided to go off Gazza for the big C. Tossed up between JPK and Jobe and naturally went for JPK. So, no Gazza for captain, selected JPK in preference to Jobe and played him as captain. Apart from that my team has been doing forst class, whooooooppppss I forgot the Franklin Fear Factor. Apart from that it's going great. Cheers all. :)
Went for Atley over Hanley to save some cash, and downgraded Webster to Aish via Mcdonald into D6...
Few things to pan out still, not looking great though! Goldy's shoulder looks flowered too, fantastic!
Gary Rohan has been my only blemish, I'll give him another week otherwise some remedial work may be required.
had both Langdon (111) and Laidler(95) on the bench and LMac on the field in mids for 48.
McDonald - useless
::)
And the beautiful thing is that it's only round !. I may be making another stuff-up yet. I'm supporting Nicnat all the way with no doubts or reservations. Hope I don't jinx him for anybody else. ;)
At this stage I don't feel like I have actually screwed up
I have McDonald on the field, so that's the only poor score I really have, and considering 9 of his team mates scored lower than him, and he barely touched it, it was just a horrible night for all North players, can only get better. Would be nice to get Langdons score instead his!
The rounds not over yet so hopefully there are no screw ups! ;D
McDonald and Rohan only really.
I guess the fact that I was literally going to get Jaensch but pulled out last minute and he goes 106, but meh, no biggie.
Rohan's been my biggest mistake. I've had 15 play and the other 14 have all gone 80+ after SD Thompson got 85 for me tonight.
McDonald & Clurey playing whilst Langdon and Laidler on bench.
Still have Crouch at M10 and forgot to change him.
Rohan mehhhhh
???
Thought I might have to include my rookie strategy but may be OK for this round. Went:-
3 / 7 in defence
4 / 6 in the midfield
But think I'm likely to score 2200 / 2300 this week and as I planned a come from behind strategy that isn't really heartbreaking :-\
McDonough Hansen and McDonald on ground have hurt a little.
Not sure how I feel about Hansen now. 3 marks for the night was not what I had hoped for.
One more week then mite swap for swallow.
not having Yablett - swapping him for daisy next week
8)
having clurey on field with langdon and laidler on bench
making dangerpants captain instead of watson
It's a fine line we tread between genius and epic fail. It is only round 1, but I decided to play Langdon on field and scrap Suckling. Good move, but with that cash I had a great idea to buy some insurance for Sandilands so I brought in Dixon with Thurlow in the rucks. lol
Might be a corrective trade there!
not regretting anything yet. only round 1. got a couple of guys who didnt perform as well as hoped in JPK and Rohan, but they will bounce back.
Not regretting McDoughy or McD on field but Daisy does hurt
Yesterday though, Had Hmac and swapped for the Sauce before lockout. Only to swap back before game time ::) regretted it most of last night :P
Only disappointments for me are Rohan and l mac. Not really blemishes as you can't have every player scoring tons esp rookies. So far I'm pretty happy.
5 of my 13 players to date have been below 100 but happy with all picks and no regrets yet. Buddy being the lowest,
Only screw up is not fielding Langdon but never considered that as a possibility so not bothered about it.

:o From chocolates to boiled lollies, to add insult to injury Goldy cops a dodgy shoulder and Currie looks in a shoe-in for next week. You'll need some fancy footwork to sort this one out.
Only the first round but Rohan on the field and Daisy in my team are the only regrets so far. Left enough cash to turn Daisy into a premium if need be. Rohan will be on the bench from now on with Higgins bumped down to F6.

Bit harsh! He was only playing his first game!! ::)
so much retardation in this thread thus far, and i'm not referring to the picks, just peoples reactions to them. rohan mcd etc. give me a spell. ::)
No screw ups for me yet, Rohan, Martin and Ambrose with 40's but all have plenty of upside. Rest of my team i'm really happy with.
Nothing so far.. Went Rock over Jobe but that's not a real issue..perhaps not sticking with my instincts with Laidler but it's only 1score and he's not a great scorer.. I hate split rounds too

Anybody thinking leaving out Currie from your Ruck bench could be a mistake. Especially if Goldstein is injured, I might need to trade him in.

For sure, no way the eventual winner this week has Rohan on the field. F6 is my weak link too, will need to come up with a strategy to plug the hole. I realise it's only week 1 but he's a worry, in normal circumstances his name would never be mentioned for SC. Hope I'm wrong and the hype matches the talent but I have my doubts.

Nobody will believe me but I was planning to do it and just simply forgot to bring him in for Thurlow. Ahh well that mistake will probably cost me a trade.
No blemishes at all - Thomas my lowest score with 62 and then it's Parker with 95.
Plenty to come so I'm cruising, very happy so far.
Cripps is in my starting 22 still :-X
I've got buyers remorse over McDonough, but if he plays next week it should be OK.
In hindsight his job security is a bit fringe-y for my liking, and I wouldn't have minded 38k spare (155-117)

true, he was concussed so deserves the benefit of the doubt
Biggest screw up would have to be not trusting selwoods injury and go with rockcliffe (I always started with Selwood each year).
Next was not having Swallow. Had him all pre season and didnt start him because I was uncertain. So I went brdie f#cking martin.
I would be in the running for overall if these 2 screw ups didnt happen.

Don't worry man, it's only round one, you'll bring in Jelwood at some stage. I don't think many people will have him.
I have Rocky too, so I'm hoping he goes big today :D
I had Swallow all preseason too, only to trade him out for Mitchell.
Overall pretty happy with my team so far.
Everyone is still in the running for overall, there's still 3 games and 22 rounds left 8)
Leaving home with Ben Kennedy on the field and getting home and finding he was the sub. But didn't last year's winner stat with Karnezis? A lot of twists and turns to go yet.

+1
So annoyed I picked this guy instead of Impey, who seemed 100% certain for the green vest.
Having Clurey on the field Langdon on the bench but that is not to bad at least I picked Langdon , Daisy and Lobbe but not judging them on one game overall happy so far
Definitely dont count this a screw up (as hindsight is a beautiful thing) but similar to many had Langdon on the bench with Clurey and McDonald on the field (only hurts from a points perspective, as all scored ok in relation to their respective prices) What DOES look like hurting was changing Chappy for Buddy before the Sydney game, and while many (most) of you will say I got what i deserved, chose Duffman over Swallow :P Apart from that, reasonably expected start so far.....
:)
Like that great philosopher JROO said, " three games and twenty-two rounds to go yet " So no corrective trades coming from the Sabres, no panic and Rome wasn't built in a day. But back to that Rome thingy, it only took Nero a day of fiddling with it to bring it down. Cheers guys and gals. ;)
(http://i.imgur.com/2vUKO3m.jpg)
fielding clurey and not picking langdon :(
still 3 games left mate
maybe that maybe my biggest screw up for round one hahah
3 rookies under 50; Clurey, McDonald and Rohan.
Meanwhile Langdon's 111 sits on the bench :'(
Just can't get rookies right. And today I'm tossing up between Dunstan, Ellis and Michie. Life is hard.

Please let me know who you don't pick. ;D
Not trusting my gut on Watson
Fielding Clurey and Rohan (and I guess Lmac as well). Could've had an extra 100+ points by fielding other rookies.
Last minute inclusion of Martin in S/C... >:(.........oh yeah nearly forgot...Cloke.. :'(

Also Langdon on thr bench, mcdonald on field, but still happy with both those picks overall
Forgot about a little thing called daylight savings and didn't swap Crouch for Tyson in time. Stupid Queensland. Hopefully he gets a game after Adelaide's loss.
Also Andrew Walker let me down. Oh well it's only round 1

Don't worry about Crouch, he'll be a good pick in the long run.
Having Clurey on field instead of Laidler. Instead of being 327th overall after round one (which is really good and im really happy about it) I would have been 19th overall >:(
Biggest screw up was thinking Leuey could make it with West in the team. That's probably going to cost me 20 points a week now.
Wasn't happy with McVeigh, Thomas or Pavlich but I have a feeling those scores are anomalies and better things are to come. Thomas was exhausted by half time because of a lack of games, McVeigh had a stinker and Pavlich would have easily cracked the ton had he not missed a couple of goals.
We're all gonna make it brahs.
Not having a team....
Missed the Langdon express
Kept aside the required cash to allow me the freedom of picking Cox or Nic Nat depending on whether Nic Nat got the vest but in doing so meant I had to sacrifice Currie and went with Ben Brown. I went with Nic Nat in the end and just wish I had faith in him all along and held onto Currie but I'm wishing harder that Goldy pulls up alright and Currie doesn't get a look in :P
After Crouch missed out I went with Wanganeen who I think will get dropped this week to make room for Cyril so I'm thinking Wanganeen -> Langdon and then subbing Langdon with McDonald to have Langdon at D6 and McDonald at M9/10 could be a good corrective trade. Apart from that I'm pretty happy despite only notching up 2,148. I'm in a cash league which ranked 602 out of 24,598 and the top scorer got 2,260 so I'm not to far off the pace.

Ditto this. Otherwise pretty happy overall, not happy with some players scores (Mitchell, McVeigh, Rocky) but not upset with the choice to pick them. Sure Bartel's score instead of McVeigh's would have been nice but that doesn't make me an idiot for picking McVeigh. Not a screw up, just a setback ;)
Trusting NicNat >:(
Paying overs for Minson :(
Lewis Taylor on field, didn't know he was sub until it was too late.
Quote from: Slammer on March 24, 2014, 09:36:04 AM

Me too. Considering going Minson ---> Grundy then JKH ---> Caddy so I don't have to start Rohan anymore. Perhaps a bit of a knee jerk reaction however; Big Will was up against 3 ruckman, two of which are up there with the best in the league. Still, it is incredibly disappointing considering his lowest score last year was 82, and he only dipped below 100 five times. That's what we expect for that price.

Ouch man, thats a 6 on field!
My two prems are libba and kennedy
I have Charlie Dixon.
I have Daisy.
...and for the kicker.....Kennedy was my captain, not by choice, I just plain f***** up. I got a nexus 7 tablet the day before the GC game, downloaded the app, and messed with my team. Didnt notice the error. I missed out on 98 points.
This is my fifth sc season. I spent hundred of hours doing research. Now I hate myself.
surprised I still scored 2102 though.
Playing around with F3 two or three weeks ago (whenever round 1 started) cos I couldnt find a structure I was happy with the F3. Sat Mayne in there to see how my team looked. Suddenly realised he was locked in because Collingwood/Freo had kicked off.
Was not happy with Ziebell's performance (i was over him before his nab form), but i think that will turn around. Scottie is not happy about the contested play and will get stuck right into them, and North's midfield didn't get the service you would normally expect with Goldy's arm hanging on by a thread.
And a complete balls-up with all the wrong rookies on field costing me around 150 points. I wasn't prepared to put a non-player to get langdon's score. Already out of the overall race at about 87000th.
Thinking it was Litherland picked for the Hawks and selecting him instead of Langford..simple mistake surely? :P
Missing lockout so being stuck with Matt Crouch.
Fielding Lewis Taylor
My POD Bastinac struggled! May give him the vice captaincy this week, my side's buggered already anyway. Sorry for anyone I let down in any leagues I'm in, tried not to enter too many from FF so I don't prevent leagues from being competitive in the overall league ranking. Everyone hates those cellar dwellers!
:(
It's only rd.1 RB, or so I keep telling myself as I look over the edge of this gigantic cliff I'm standing on whilst contemplating whether or not I can fly. !! Would love to trade Jelwood, Fyfe, or Watson in to my team. I have the money and the means but my game plan is to sit pretty for a while and wait for my cash cows to deliver. So I wait, looking over the edge at eternity pondering what might have been. But in reality sit pretty as those disasters of ours just may turn the corner this week. Best of luck mate. ;)
Not a huge screw up, but I intended to have Michie on the bench and Dunstan on the field but forgot to make that move.
Meh, shower happens and life goes on.
Few small errors for me were picking McDonald over Langford (not that worried), going houli over swallow (once again not worried but if houli struggles again and swallow goes bang again I may make the trade), and not trusting my gut instinct by getting mark lecras ( instead took the safe option with Tom Mitchell, like my other few errors not real worried as I believe they will even out there averages before too long). Overall scored 2359 so hopefully that's a sign of things to come.
Not having the balls to pick Shiels over Daisy which I talked up for the last two weeks but copped out when it came time to decide for good
Had Swallow and Macrae locked in for weeks..
Changed them to Suckling and Libba..

Pickem him, made a few little errors with fielding wrong rookies but this is the only pick that pissed me off! Cost me 2300+
I had Pittard in Def as it looked like he was going to be set free to rack up a series of good scores. Of course he went straight back to his tagging role.
I compounded this error by thinking that Shiels would be in the same boat, so swapped him out for Aish. Didn't have the balls to swap him for Macrae - as initially planned.
I also got scared by all the Hanley tag talk and swapped him out for Suckling - this one ended up being not so bad for round 1. We'll see how it goes in the long run - maybe get Hanley back after the byes when he's a bit cheaper and Suckling has gone up a bit?
Anyway the silver lining is that I had $200K+ in the bank so the Pittard error is an easy fix.
Next year I'm doing my team the week before round 1, so I don't spend a month fiddling with it every bloody day!
2100 points is not a very good start but I suppose it leaves plenty of room for improvement. I hope my team is ready for the H2H rounds. I've got a couple of 2400+ teams to beat.
