Apologies if I’m coming across like that. I’ve just no patience for overlooking injuries (that you apparently watched happen), or trading in the wrong player. I don’t want to see TJM sacked, but I’d like to see him improve this area of his game ASAP! |

Look, I accept that I was a little emotional in first responding to this decision but these are my final thoughts. Make of them what you will. 1. I genuinely agree with the decision to abolish the adherence to precedent the site has stuck by for a few years now, it's tough to be the first one to be on the wrong end of it but meh I'll cop it. This does however mean that all future 'newbie' trades will have to be looked at very closely, I personally don't believe in reversing trades unless absolutely necessary but now that we've set down this path reversals are firmly back on the table. I personally would favour a system where we look to 'amend' trades wherever possible but that's a discussion for the site to have. 2. I don't personally consider TJ to be a 'newbie' coach anymore, I'm not sure where you all stand on that but I think that after a coach has turned over a significant amount of their list that we should back them in as much as possible. The only time reversal/amendment discussions should take place is in the case of a list that is already at risk, being plunged further down into mediocrity. I don't personally believe the amended trade significantly damages TJ's list or ability to trade, but obviously my opinion is disregarded a little given my vested interest here. 3. For whatever reason, Fade2Grey used to send me some offers he'd gotten from you guys back in the day and genuinely half the site was trying to absolutely destroy my old list in his FIRST WEEK in the job. Without naming names, some stones are being thrown from very glass houses here. Gee, I've had worse and far more damaging offers made to me over the last few days and technically aren't I still the newbie? 4. Just on a personal note and some feedback for the future, having literally my only interaction with any member of the admin admin team over this saga being "sorry about the reversal bro" is pretty average. A little dialogue in future wouldn't hurt lads. I won't be "holding the site to ransom" or threatening to quit over this, but I'll take a little bit to recharge the batteries and come back tonight. I'd appreciate a little understanding over this. |

Admittedly I did once trade in Jayden Laverde without realising he was out for 12 weeks or so with an injury. But in my defence he'd done that in pre-season training two days ago. Not 3 months ago. In a nationally televised final. THAT I WATCHED. |

Yeah apologies for the lack of communication, I posted in the admin board awhile back but RLL has been flat out and as for Wacky - better that poor sod own a post office at Christmas time than I. End result is I’m sorting it between 2-4am over here when I’ve been flat out too. We’re all super busy, so do apologise. But we were also unanimous, so not sure you coulda swayed us either

I can’t believe someone brought up the Hickry/Coniglio trade & it wasn’t Schulz. Eat a snickers Colby. |

For someone who spent so much of their time on here moping around like a little bitch the entire time I was gone, you seem awfully keen to try and push me out again lol. Pull up or AFFL will have to suffer another season of contributions like "the death of the counter offer" lel. I'm glad admin have seen fit to take such a drastic measure to abolish a precedent set by your original fuck up of a decision.

I'd probably prefer a bottle of Hickory sauce to be fair... |
