So I thought, perhaps this is a quiet moment in the market, chance for me. So two minutes later there was another player, not as good - older, lower quality, no SA but still a player I would take after such a long wait. I chucked in a token in the initial round. I watched knockout round 1 - 6 bidders, so I stayed out. Eventually he went in round 16, for more than triple his market value. Madness.
I'll never stop thinking about the one that got away this season.
