Hey mate,

We were pretty loose with our avatar bet rules but your time is probably up. I have enjoyed being able to tell you and chitmonkey apart so feel free to keep it though!

I told you. The scoring is rigged. No doubt whatsoever

And heaps of Vonny but we probably shouldn't talk about that after last time.

You don't deserve that Welshy. Can't catch a break mate!

Only in ultimate mate, got Kniko so not all lost there

had Milf, Moga and Macca in fantasy

Thought Milford had been doing well, checked scores and was very underwhelmed. Crazy flowing game, hoping it means plenty of good updates to come!

Thanks for advice before too Random, second opinion definitely helps.

Rigged against Gillett? in the hypothetical scenario in which that were even possible...Why?

Welcome to the house of fun JJ! I had typed up a dece response (quantity wise, who knows about quality) to your question in the last thread but it locked out so I couldn't post it! Anyways, glad to have ya on board and if you ever have a question, sing out, plenty of people happy to help here!

Even though trading in CHN this week seemingly was a flat out dumb trade, since he's pretty much no chance for round 9, for some reason, I don't regret it one bit. Even though he didn't have the best game, the kid is a gun and IMO should be starting every week. And missing out on him and the feeling of that, I feel happy and content that I at least got to feel a little bit of that. Crazy huh?

Who knows, with the rumors TMM is on the outer, Merrin will more than likely play origin so he might get a run in round 18, and Harris seems pretty injury prone, you just never know. Also, wasn't there rumors of a mid season transfer to the Sharks?

Anyway, I may feel different in the morning but it's one of those situations that it's done and I'll just pretend I had him all along, and get a bonus price rise. The trade is done, move on. Guys that traded Moose and Merrin should just think the same. You did the trade for a reason, and there is always that risk of trading out healthy players. All part of the game. If we could see ahead to what would happen to influence our decisions, the game wouldn't be exciting at all.

Golden showers? Bloody good to have you back GM!

Fellow Macca owners and in particular captainers let's just have a quick huddle to rue what could have been.

Was on track for 70-80 almost the entire game. Really disappointing to finish on 60 and not sure it will even stay that high when the IT Crowd review the Silicon Valley boys' work... missed tackles were flying around everywhere there when Panthers were clawing their way back into it!

I'm a Macca owner and captained him. Was watching pretty closely and tbh, if I get around 108-110 I'll be happy.

I am 100% in agreement here.
I mean, last weeks trade of Dylan Walker to BJ Leilua only cost me $66k, and 42 points, and my L1 match up with Honey Badger/Zazu Knights, and ........... but I've put it behind me.
I mean, I'm coming last in L1, but, that's in the past. I'm not going to dwell on it.
In the long run, ....oh fuck it, it still hurts.
Why, BJ, why, you bastard.

It goes to show a trade like mine, is really not much different to yours even though it's a different situation with the players and such. We all have advice on trades and we all say how precious they are, and not to make sideways trades and don't do this trade for whatever reason. But we all do it. It wouldn't be fantasy without some emotional trades. Yes, trades are precious, and everyone should be preserved and thought about, but there have been worse trades and there will continue to be worse trades again. Forget the last trade, we all did whatever trade for a reason, focus on the next. Thinking about my CHN trade, yeah it was silly, but it was something I NEEDED to do. It's a game, not real life and if it fucks me in the long run to get some peace of mind, so be it.

Mate, in my work draft league I have both BJ and Walker. I have switched between the two each week and I get screwed every week. BJ is a keeper and will come good mate. I think he'll outscore Walker by the years end.

Haha yeah looks ok for now. Nothing wrong with CHN's 39 but obviously a lower score.

Oh so true!! He was easily going at a point a minute, so disappointed in his score :-(

You will be crowing in a few weeks mate

38 mate.  Hopefully updates are kind. But if he stays about 35 I'll take it.
