Small or Far Away, Father Dougal on Cows
Hi Everybody!
Chatting about cows is getting less and less relevant, as rookies are mostly needed for backups rather than cash. At the same time, when we need to trade, we have options. So many options. Which is good, but of course which one is the right one?
The one you didn’t take?
Too often true this season. But, that does not help people who are not me.
Squeak
Right, and since I am generally just making trades without telling everyone, people can only not do what I am doing by accident
Or by thinking.
Or by owning good players
I am beginning to wonder if bringing in the Hamster was a good idea
Compared to bringing in Jason Johannison?
Much better idea
Well…
Squeak!!!
Right, much better idea. So, anyways, the thing I was thinking about this week, and rather wish I had thought more about over the season, no comments, is something I have said before but is worth saying again. When you make a move, often it is good to pick the one that will fail in the way you can best handle. If, for example, you have one trade left, bringing in a player with a tendency to get injured over one who might score a bit worse but has a history of good health might not be a good idea. An injury could lose you a lot more than the difference in scores. On the other hand, if you have to get as many points as possible to hit a target, and you don’t care how many you miss it by if you fail, then bring in whoever has the best chance of the most points if things go well.
So, now you’re worried about the best way to fail?
Well, yes! And that’s not really funny, I’m serous about that
Ah, the expert on not funny
Speaking of which, on to the player write ups!
Defenders
Logue – Why did the chicken cross the road? Argh! Fine, why? To prove to the wombat it could be done!
Answerth– Why did the hamster cross the road? I don’t know, why did the hamster cross the road? To visit the flog! ……Um, right. I tell the rest.
Midfielders
Walsh – How do you make holy water? ..Squeak? You boil the hell out of it!
Stack– Why are there so many old people in church? I have no idea. They’re cramming for the final!
D. Clarke– Why did the cows go to church? Oh god, he worked in cows. They heard there was a new priest! ….So, you know, it is supposed to be new pasture? Because that is a pune, or play on words, where priest is not? Well, yes but I’m Catholic.
Rucks
Zac Clarke – Knock Knock! Who’s there? Interrupting cows. Interrupting cows w..Moooooooooooooo!!!!!
Oh, and he didn’t play. You kept him in just to fit the Interrupting cows joke in didn’t you. Yes, yes I did.

Setterfield – Knock Knock! Sigh. Who’s there? The Hamster, he wants to visit you! Squeak! Giggle.

Thanks for your great work this year FD!
If it isn’t too much effort FD, maybe next week add a column that compares your early round projections against actual? For science!!!
