Morning all

You may notice a couple of alterations to the site this morning. We received some correspondence yesterday that has necessitated the changes. Bear with us.

Would i be right in saying the correspondence was from the SuperCoach legal team (i note that the SuperCoach logo has disappeared from the site.

If that’s the case it’s a shame because sites like this actively support SuperCoach and without these types of sites SuperCoach would still be #2 behind Dream Team.

Hear, hear!

If anything Supercoach should be thanking you and giving you all the support you need! This is like being told to piss off by your favourite player after setting up a fan site or asking for an autograph?

Thanks for the support boys. We can’t say too much other than we’re doing everything we can to keep the site up and running.

Maybe you could rename the site stupidcoachtalk or something like that. Just let us all know and i’ll change the bookmark, still use the site, etc….

Totally agree with you Maverick.

Would be good to get a print out of the “Supercoach” guys DNA……….. would be fair to say it would replicate some of the animals that eat their young / own……… most of these species have a population “cap” by way of “natural” (??) attrition……….. seems quite a silly way to go for a business aspiring to get ahead of DT…. not sure what i’ll do next year…….. but if this site isn’t here Motts, it may sway me the other way……….. good luck, you do a fantastic, professional, UNOBTRUSIVE job……..

It would be a crying shame for a large corporate to bully the little guy, particularly when absolutely everything on this site is positively supporting their game. I say we take em to court over the whole “vibe” of the thing as it sounds just like MABO and quote from the constitution. Alternatively after conducting a search I found grimmotalk as a domain name is available and I am sure that after some teething issues we would all be happy to talk about me for days on end. Best of luck with it boys. Long live SCT!!!!

You would need to invest in a larger server if grimmotalk were to take off without melt-down issues!

heh, despite linking to them in the most visible part of the site! the mind boggles how these companies operate.

you should throw it out to the site readers for someone to design a new logo for the site. there’s got to be a decent designer or two who would like to help out?

How about setting up our own Supercoach/Dreamteam comp? It could be called MasterCoach or something and we could all vote about how to set it up. i.e. League setups, point allocations, how player values are calculated. We could band together with other fantasy football sites and create something special. Just a thought.

LOGO IDEA
How about a lovely combination of the ever popular black and white tones, presented in the classical vertical pattern, arranged with a lovely iconographic animal emblem that everybody knows and loves, such as a, … I don’t know, … a magpie?

We could determine scores for certain things and send them to either you or Duck Motts and determine weekly scores, and maybe create league chats where the ladders are posted weekly

I love everyone’s sentiment here but 15 new logos may not be useful to Motts and the crew. I’m going ‘unique’ and offering cups of tea and teddy bear picnics at the Herald Sun picket line. See you all there.
