Here it is, folks, the 2012 SCTTL team. I know I said we’d re-poll a couple of positions but as Omen said to me in an email last night, we need to move forward with this thing. As such, I’ve made a couple of executive decisions on the rookies in the midfield and the forward line.
So here’s the team that I want everyone to lock in for Round 1 (changes have been bolded):
DEFENDERS
B Goddard (D/M), B Deledio (D/M), H Shaw, B Lake, M Clarke, B Ellis, B Smedts (D/F), T Bugg, S Morris.
MIDFIELDERS
G Ablett, M Murphy, J Selwood, M Pavlich (M/F), S Coniglio, D Shiel, L Brown (M/D), J Magner.
RUCKS
D Cox, S Mumford, J Giles, J Redden
FORWARDS
L Franklin, N Fyfe (M/F), D Martin (M/F), A Christensen (M/F), J Porplyzia, D Smith (M/F), A Saad, D Pfeiffer (M/F), A Hall.
Cash Remaining: $52,900
This is the team that you must complete Round 1 with. No trades are to be made during the period of the partial lockout next week. Round 1 is to be won, lost or drawn on captaincy and on-field player selection alone.
I hope everyone’s happy with it. I’ve added a D/M DPP (Luke Brown) which the team needed, replaced Wingard because we could no longer afford him with Shiel, and replaced Stephenson with Redden (which was overwhelmingly popular on the site). Forward and Backlines have been left alone. This leaves us with a bit more money in the skyrocket for any trades people may want to make from R2 onwards.
At the end of the day, we all have to play with the same team. Hopefully we can really take this one a long way. My secret hope is that someone’s 2 year old son, mum, girlfriend, little sister or dog wins the whole darn shooting match with it!
Because we’ve got 5 leagues running for this the other thing we’ll do during the SC Finals is run an SCTTL overall finals series (which SCT will administer). The Highest 8 teams overall (from all 5 leagues) will play off in the SCTTL World Series. I haven’t worked out a prize for that yet, but we will put something up.
Sounds good huh?
Now the success of this game and the enjoyment of everybody playing in these leagues is entirely dependent upon everyone starting with the same team. If you join with a different team you will destroy that enjoyment for everybody else in the league and you’re going to have to spend an entire season with them.
So please, don’t think you’re being smart by playing with a different team to everyone else. You’re ruining 17 other people’s enjoyment and we will out you on the site as a dickhead. And with the thousands of visitors this site gets on a daily basis I think its fair to say no-one wants that.
Good luck to everyone involved!!
Final note: Brian (“Buddha’s Addiction) in SCTTL3 – I noticed today that your team is complete. Please readjust it to the configuration above and confirm either in Comments below or in Psyche Out for that league that you’ve done that. If I haven’t heard from you by 5pm Thursday I will delete your team and replace it.

Good job Motts, well played sir, and good luck to all SCTTL’ers, as for someones 2 year old son, that’s Ryley “Year Of The Rat” in SCTTL1, please don’t let him win cause I’ll never hear the end of it.
There’s no head to head for the first two rounds anyway.
3 spots left in SCTTL 5 code 126572.
DO NOT ENTER UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO PLAY WITH THE SCTTL TEAM.
SCTTL 5 coaches are now permitted to populate their teams without risk of being deleted.
Now 4 spots (HGL you traitor)
Team’s looking pretty good!
BRING IT 😛
Hi guys. First time here. Thê most informative forum on fantasy footy second to none. Unsure if this the correct spot to post this but I notice no one has any love this year in a lot of teams for Swan and pendles. Or is it they overpriced. Simply put to a vote can you get value elsewhere or do you need one of them in team.
Thumbs up – need one of Swan/pendles
Thumbs down – look elsewhere eg selwood, murphy etc
Thanks guys.
In terms of prize, your usual offering is a 12 month subscription to this very site so maybe that could go on offer again… failing that maybe a HS digital pass for 2013.
Worth a look guys 🙂

Thanks guys I am pumped about this comp, it will be good! Still have my doubts about Christiansen’s value and output but time will tell. I can always trade him out anyway once we get underway.
Sorry for incorrectly posting here. Every forum I ever joined someone has told me to post somewhere else. My bad. But in answer I have ablett and think as many teams do than have franklin. Doubt many teams will not have the bald one and buddy. I gone murphy over swan and selwoods cheaper price over pendles has allowed me to upgrade pfeiffer to porps. Could be a mistake!
do we put the team in now or hold off
Someone mentioned during the week that christensen was injured???
Nice work Motts.
Top team! Putting into my girlfriends SuperCoach team now 🙂
Cant wait for this to start! not long now. I wonder how long it will take all my non supercoach friends to hate me once the season starts and all i talk about is footy and supercoach! can see the girlfriend already hating it again this season! Ill just have to make her team win the whole thing – that might keep her happy!
Sorry about the inconvience to all, but I’m going to have to leave on of the SCTTL (think it was #3?).
VCE kinda gets a priority over SC (just), and I figure having two teams may be mighty difficult to manage through the season. Only just seemed to remember how much time/work SC requires, so I’m giving this one a miss.
Best of luck to all involved, code for 1 free spot is:
136697
Aka Tom’s ‘The Peoples Choice’
Great work to everyone involved. At least I can say one of my teams is completed.
Good luck everyone
i’d like to play, is there space left/another league could be started?
Hey people, in the want to play this style of game, I have set up SCTTL 6 with a league code of 793069. Same rules, join with the team above.
Hadn’t noticed the new sponsor Mottsy … filipinocupid.com
#scrapingthebottomofthecoropratebarrelforthatpieceofsponsorship
i really hope this is just the start of the hs website having a heart attack cause of the population flowing through it,,,,, but pavlich has a bandaid next to his name and says coming back round 2 with an ankle injury…
figure i would have heard something.. but just thought id ask and sound like a fool?
Sorry Motts, don’t know what happened there. Will fix up now on the PC, can’t trust the iPod.
Hey SCT coaches, Not sure where to post this, so i’ll just chuck it in here.
I know we have already had a poll for this, but that turned out 50/50 and was before NAB Cup. Many many changes have occured during then and now. Winner of this is locked in for my premium ruck in a 1:3 set-up.
Just some quick info for you before you vote –
Dean Cox : ($662,600) (AV. 122)
Great year once again for the Big Cox, Averaging an amazing 18 disposals and 29 hitouts a game. Not only does he take the stoppages as a ruckmen but follows them up by racking up possesions around the ground like an extra midfielder. He has been dominating the ruck for years now, but at 30 years of age is his run of dominance coming to an end? With competition for rucking time from Nic Nat his hit outs will surely decrease, but this may be made up for by a surge in goals whilst resting up forward.
Shane Mumford ($610,300) (AV 112)
Like himself, it was a massive year for Mummy. Averaging 13 disposals, 39 hitouts and 5 tackles a game, he had oppositions teams shaking in there boots from the word go. His giant figure allows him to flick the oppositions ruck to the side allowing him to rack up ridiculous numbers in the hitouts column. Even though he doesn’t cover the ground as well as Cox he still manages to find the football around the packs. His aggresions for the game shows in his tackle count, often topping the chart at the end of the game. With no competition for the number 1 ruck spot Mummy looks the goods this year.
Your call coaches, this will be interesting…
Dean Cox – Thumbs Up
Shane Mumford – Thumbs Down
Cheers 🙂
Good people,
Stupid question, but the end result of the SCTTL league is to get the highest overall score, correct? So even though there’s five separate leagues, the ‘head to head’ component within each league is meaningless, yes?
Cheers, and CAN’T WAIT to play SCTTL!!!
Think I’d rather have Giles on the field and use the Mummy premium cash upgrading Christensen to Cloke. Team looks solid though, well done.
Cox/Mumford is not worth it early season….
Looking forward to a great comp, so best of luck everyone.
Stupid question, but, for round one can we move players between positions??? For example, Magner and Shiel don’t play, can I move Deledio to the middle?? Or do they have to start in their named positions for round one. I assume we can move them around now, but wanted to double check.
Awesome team to start with, can’t wait!
$52,900 left! Good Luck All (here’s hoping some pimpled face pull through jerk off doesn’t wreck our league with their “own unique” team selections)
hi guys does anyone know if the supercoach scores for all the players from all the nab games will be released this year as in pervious years???
will Shaw from the crows play most games? and Kerrige? don’t know much about them.
is it too late to rejoin? i got deleted 🙁 didn’t read the entire post properly
A mention in the first paragraph.
Honoured.

Deano

Gotta love the Freewall SCT has implemented!
Motts can we make our own captain, have emergencys and sub the players we want on/off??
Just gunna sneak this comment in here so that it doesn’t effect the general chatter of the SCTTL chat thread- I assume you’ll notice it via email or something. 🙂
Did ya see the TS equivalent of this little experiment? Leagues #1/2 and 3 😀
Hopefully we haven’t drawn too much attention to these little spectacles! 😀
