Heaps this year.
Extremely disappointing end to what started as a promising season.
Biggest regret was not having Sauce. Lost points every week in the ruck. Started with Sandi and Lobbe but ditched Lobbe after a few games to Mummy for no games and to Minson the next week.
Also missed SMartin and Miles.
Never had Malceski either.
Traded hard early and lacked the depth to cope at the end.
Could go on but won't.
I'm cooked and will be back in 2015...wrapped to still be in Elxam Champs League... The only result I'm happy about.
Basically entering Supercoach was a regret for me.
Hated every single minute of it. :P
That said, gonna be doing SC next year only because I got myself into the Elxam Champions League. 8)
Flipping a coin and starting gunston over gray.
Starting Enright.
Trading Mackie in.
*Trading Hampson to Mummy in round 3 thinking he would be out for 2+ and Maric would return. Mummy then missed so many games it stuffed my start to season.
*Not starting Gray or Parker or Simpson
*Getting Zak Jones instead of Ben Brown basically stuffed my overall ranking over last few rounds and a league final. Had 3 rucks with Mummy/Sandi/S.Martin and no DPP ruck to swing Martin fwd - ran out of trades to get 1 when Beams/Fyfe/JPK/Boomer went down
*Trading in Boomer instead of Gray in round 18
Went from 600 odd to 1164 over last few rounds in overall rank
These were the 3 that I went backwards and fwds over for weeks before the season
- Enright over DSwallow
- Cotchin over Rocky
- Pav over Parker
And didn't get one right at all
Caddy over Parker & the rucks killed me. Wasted 4 trades covering absent players, Hampson - Mumford - Cox - Naitanui - Minson.
missed rocky, and went jpk instead... fail :o
Started Pav, didn't bring in SMartin, traded in Griffen and Swan. Probably would have come first or at least top 3 if I made better decisions there.
Starting Mitchell over Parker
Starting Wingard
Not starting Pendles
Rucks costing me 3 trades
Bringing in J Merrett
Starting team:
JJK over Parker
Gunston over Gray
Roughy + Clurey over Swallow + Higgins
Also starting Leuey and Hurn who both got injured very early on
During the year:
Not getting Miles or Martin
Getting SJ when I had other options such as Barlow
Getting Boomer over Gray for the finals
Trading Hanley in for Hurn instead of Swallow, in total cost me 200k extra as I got Hanley at top price (520k-ish), and Swallow at top price (over 500k) when I could've gotten them both for about 420k each
clicking create team instead of delete team ::)
Round 21 getting pissed and not seeing pendles as late out.... default JPK as cap score 39.
Round 22 running with cotch as C....score 65.
happy with trades Zork and hanley at rock bottom
regret not having rockliff
My slightly rotund 50 year old Chilean cleaning lady turned up last week with a decent sized tattoo on her forearm - it read
NO REGERTS
Burning trades on injuries :'(
Not following my gut and not starting Gray or Parker.
I follow my gut - unless I walk backwards. Then, my gut follows me!
Try not to dwell too much on it..
Starting regrets
*Enright over Swallow
*Leunberger over Sauce/Lobbe
*Templeton over Lewis Taylor
Trading regrets
*Bypassing Stef Martin for Wingard :-[
*Sandilands to Minson
*Kieren Jack
Starting NicNat coming off a limited pre-season then when I traded him I ignored Jacobs and Goldy for bye reasons and bought in Minson.
Cost me a lot of points.
Only real regret is the bad start which lead to burning trades to get back into it and be competitive, never really got there sadly.
The beauty of this is "Well there is always next year to get it right."
Starting with wingard
Selecting priddis with final trade round 22 and making him captain (got me through to the GF but only just and went missing both rounds)
Dropping pavlich late in the year
Not getting onto Parker & Rocky
Staring Daisy over Mcrae, JJK over Parker and NicNat over Jacobs
Starting Team- forgetting to swap out bottom priced Melbourne rookie mid (think his name was J. Hunt) after playing around with my team costing me one trade. Otherwise starting team pretty solid
Trading: where to start???
Trading in Zorko before his glorious 43 in rd 3
Trading in S.Burgoyne instead of Simpson in rd 10 before Simpson went bananas for the next month.
Trading in Jaensch the week before his concussion when I could have got Hanley for the same price before he went nuts
Trading in Dalhaus instead of Gray about rd 6-7 to save 50k
Trading in S.Johnson after his bye at top price before his glorious 53 and 1 game suspension against Freo, when I could've got Selwood (who I got the next week anyway) who pumped out 145, thinking he would get the Crowley tag. I was ranked 1st at this stage.
Trading in Swan when Beams was a late out, chasing points after starting to fall off the pace for overall
Trading in JPK and then making him cpt the week he got his lowest score for the year
Trading in Priddis and making him cpt rd 22 for his lowest score for the year
Not getting Rocky, Martin, Hanley, Miles at any stage.
Wow feels really good to get all that off my chest. Supercoach sob stories officially over for the year. Will resume whinging in about 6 mths time.
Leuenberger. He ruined my season right from the start. Trading him to Minson proved futile.
Honorable mentions go to taking a punt on a very cheap Ryan Griffin and then subsequently swapping him for Stevie J and then Dyson Heppell. Could not catch a break with those three.
Not leaving 20 trades for finals :P
Not starting season with Gray after having him all pre season
Getting in Rocky....but...not Captaining him because everyone else was.
Thats my big 2. :-[
not starting ablett...
starting mcevoy...
starting caddy,
bringing in J. merrett for caddy,
bringing in harvey the week he got suspended,
starting with libba over rocky

fortunately, didn't do this myself but ... ooh, ouch!!! :P ;)
SC finals periodShenton --> Boomer - (just before SC finals started) got 1 or 2 games from him and then he decided to get himself suspended ... :(
Beams --> JPK - got a game or so from him before he shelved for AFL finals ... :P
Boomer ---> McGlynn - after Harvs got himself suspended, went to the hot McGlynn and only got 1 game from him before his calf injury ... :'(
No regrets just flower ups. :-\
trading Hanley out after his hammy injuries and then getting him back after a price rise
Mummy to Minson instead of Sauce, just to be different, idiot.
Mitchell to Walker instead of Simpson, again, just to be different, idiot.
