Initial Thoughts?

Written by Duck on March 24 2013

2 games down and as far as footy tips go, 0 from 2 for me!

More importantly, how’s your SuperCoach Team going? Any players you regret picking or spewing you dropped in favour of someone else, or is it too early to call?

Let us know you’re early thoughts after this short start to the round.

  1. I’m really disappointed with Dangerfield. Could’ve got Mundy instead, was highly considering. That way would’ve save a load of cash but happy I didn’t get LeCras.

  2. INJURY UPDATE: Sandilands out atleast 16 weeks, possibly the whole season.

    My Jon Griffin pick just got better…

  3. Happy I took Big Sexy’s sage advice and dropped Duffield. God he’s clever that BS.

    Also very happy I wasn’t tempted by LeCras’s cheap price. Although everyone in SCTTL now has a decision to make.

  5. Happy with not picking dangerfield, will upgrade to him soon when he goes down in price!
    I know this is off topic bu is there any chance we can get a poll between Mitch Robinson and dustin Martin, both are similar price and age, and both under performed last year, I’m having trouble splitting them!

  6. Like you Motts, I’m 0 from 2 as well in my tips!

    Initial thoughts…..I may of underrated the Bombers & I might of overrated WC & Adelaide! Pretty average efforts by both WC & Adelaide in the 2nd 1/2’s of their respective games, either Freo & Essendon are super fit or WC & Adelaide looked slow & were well outclassed by their opposition in the 2nd half’s in R1.

    Dangers well held/tagged out by Hocking, Fyfe looks like a value pick, JJ Kennedy surprised & he ran well & played a pretty decent game & Griffen played out of his skin & looks very capable against the best. Very early to make any drastic SC calls just yet! 1 thing, It’s gr8 to have the footy back!!!!

  7. Well I took LeCras in a late reshuffle and am paying for it now. Score wise it seems like it would have been a good choice. You can’t not choose a guy on the chance he may break his arm in round one!!!
    Godds. Duff Man and Dangermouse all a let down but happy to hang in there for some form.
    Very happy with Griffen and with the news on SLands, he looks even better.

    Thank God Footy’s back………….

  8. Depressed after the eagles game. Don’t know what hurts most? Us losing to the dockers? LeCras getting injured after being one of the few eagles that were playing well? Or me havin 2 injury s in the first two games!

  9. thinking possibly making a heppell to danyle pearce move? too early to be chopping around? heppell seemed to have a really nice game but couldnt score much, whereas pearce scored a ton. both sitting at a very similar price.

  10. My team is ok so far. Tempted to trade in Freo big scorers but hard to tell if they will maintain those scores. It is important to keep in mind Freo smashed WCE last year too and the mids had high scores … they did not maintain them in proceeding weeks however. #WatchingClosely

  11. Absolutely spewing for one simple reason.
    After jumping the gun and bringing Kommer in at the last minute, I somehow managed to have him on the bench in place of Tom Mitchell/Jaeger O’Meara, with not even an emergency on his back. A solid 70 from him, and at least one probable 0 sees me absolutely frothing with rage.
    Other than that, Goddard and Heppell were slight let-downs, but nothing major, and Cox was solid. How’s everyone else going?

  12. Traded Pearce to Duffield, hopefully in the long run that was a smart idea but cost points this week. Average games from Goddard and Heppell but certainly nothing to worry about straight away. Pleased with taking Dangerfield out for Swan instead.
    No knee-jerk reactions, its only round 1!

  13. Happy with griffen as well that’s good news (not that sandi thinks so) and krommer good late inclusion for crouch. Heppel, goddard and cox should improve not panicking, was happy with le cras score I missed the match and now heard about the arm, sigh thinking of taking on Kennedy after a great round 1 will see who else impresses next week. Welcome back footy I missed you!

  14. not happy with the eagles going down to the shockers and the frenchmen breaking a arm and luke brown going off early for a bruised foot .
    not happy with goddard lowish score ,but everyone has him.
    big coxy under par score looked tired and is really missing his ruck mate nic nat.
    happy with nic kommers 70 score showed alot of promise .

  15. Although leCras broke his arm and danger delivered nothing, I’m looking at the positive. This being, I can now trade down Danger to someone around the 500k, and turn LeCras into Stevie J 🙂

  16. Ha. Ha ha ha ha.
    *claps hands with glee*
    I was HOPING they were being over pre-cautious with Luke Brown. YESSSS! 😀

    357/4 (Goddard, Heppell, Cox & Jacobs)
    Not displeased, I’d say more ‘treading water’. For a split round one, and for me, that’s ok. I know that sounds rather ordinary but I’m not wanting to tempt fate.

  17. Happy with my smokey Stephen Hille landing me 120. Not so happy with Danger but will hold tight for another week or so. Very silly to get Pavlich in at the last minute, but I did replace LeCras for him. I cant see Pav lasting another week in the lineup. Kennedy could be the value pick of the season with those scores. Go the Dons, King Jobe looks in form to challenge another brownlow this season.

  18. Hi guys.

    In need of a little help if you all don’t mind.

    My original structure (as with most people) included berger at R2. I have been looking at my side and I am reluctant to weaken other lines (ie two other positions) just to fix one.

    This leaves me around $400k to find my second ruck. Which is the best option of a bad bunch?

    – still with berger and hope currie or Blicav get some game time till berger returns.
    – drop in Zac Smith and hope Gorringe doesn’t hurt him too much
    – in reverse, drop in Gorringe and hope he passes smith (3 rookie strategy)
    – consider Jamar or Lobbe
    – Grab Longer till Berger returns.

    as you can see I am at a loss on this one. None of the options particularly excites me.

    Help.
    Cheers.

    T/U Michael Barlow

    T/D David Mundy

    Cheers!

  20. 2013 fail No. 1 – On the back of GAJ’s interview saying he would be spending a lot of time forward, traded GAJ to Danger and spent the money hoping to stabilise my midfield a bit by bringing in Lucas. All I need now is for Lucas to vest up.

    My only other players (Godd, Heppell & Massive) were also less than impressive and while I’m not worried about them, I wouldn’t mind a couple of tons early on next week to get me somewhere near a respectable RD1 score.

  23. Need help guys, with LeCras well and truly gone for most of the season with an arm injury (shame because he was on fire till that point)

    Thumbs Up – Downgrade to Kennedy (WCE)
    Thumbs Down – Upgrade to a better forward option, give me suggestions regarding which ones

    Cheers

  24. What are people doing with Leuenberger??

    He’s been in and out of my side many times over the last two weeks. I’ve got Cox in the fwds and have Maric at R1. A few weeks back someone made an interesting post about Zac Smith as a fantastic POD. His raw NAB cup scores weren’t that flash but when you look at his limited game time and his points per minute average of 1.82 he could be way under priced at $374K.

    Hmmmmm ….. can someone talk some sense into me here. Statistically it looks a sound premise to have him as R2 but there’s something that doesn’t feel right about this plan.

  25. I originally went into the Derby match with D.Pearce in defence and then worried at the last minute of consistency changed him to Waters from West Coast. Given that the separation between their points on the day were not too different, I still think that in the long-term that Waters will have a greater av. than Pearce, especially in hitting the ton.
    Agree guys?

  26. Also wondering guys which combination will garner more games played and hence more money made in the long-run in the defence? (specifically Port)

    Thumbs Up – Colquhoun & Stevenson
    Thumbs Down – Pittard & Stevenson

    Cheers

  27. Here’s an upside to my average at best start to the SC year. Sam Jacobs & Courtney Dempsey have my draft league team off to a flyer! 226 from the pair.

  28. 399/4 played.

    Goddard – ok score for a bad game.
    Thompson – a bit of a worry if he’s not going to be able to break the tag – also looked absolutely beat in the last qtr, although essendon and the their ‘vitamins’, it’s not too much of a surprise.
    Cox – another who looked very tired at the end of the game
    Mundy – happy. Someone on here said expect him to get back to form from a couple of years ago. Lets hope he keeps it up.

  29. I’ve heard on a number of sites that Jack Frost is up for selection.

    and that dwyer is up for selection in a month.

    I have pittard and spagher on the bench on the repective lines at $128k so the ability to drop these boys in at $96k would free up some cash.

    Do we think these boys will get a sustained run or could we see worst case where they could get 2 games only?

    Also, do we think that talk of dwyer playing might affect Macaffer job security?

    cheers.

  30. Sad for Lecras who was on for a good score. Lucky I kept jjkennedy and swapped lecras for petterd.

    Had jobe instead of danger in early drafts of my team, but with the threat hanging over the bombers swapped them.. Regretting that change, or not putting jpkennedy in instead.

    Cox and goddard underperformed but not tragically.

    Be a few mates wishing they took my advice on a few players already…. bring on the rest of the round.

    Still may need heavy rejigging to get 22 scorers.

  31. Was thinking about not starting gaz and putting in pendles but couldn’t spend the $70 grand effectively so its a pass.

  32. Thinking of locking in Berger and gray before the free trades finish.

    Figure that I probably won’t win the $50k so going for cash league wins.

    Berger and gray will miss only two weeks and should be back before league rounds start.

    It also lets me upgrade monfries to zorko.

    Thoughts?

  33. I reckon Murphy could have a big year, perhaps Michael Clarke form as captain?
    And then there is Josh Kennedy with GWS and GC in the opening two rounds! Who to pick?

    T/P: Kennedy ($643,000)
    T/D: Murphy ($602,000)

    Give me your thoughts. Currently my midfield stands like this : Ablett, Pendles, Cotchin, Murphy, Moloney, Wines, K.Mitchell and O’meara
