I don’t know about you but I hate these partial lockouts. I’ll be out having a drink before tomorrow night’s game when the final teams come out and then I’ll be madly scrambling with my phone trying to trade players in and out via the fiddly SC app. All the while trying to hold a conversation about the viability of a carbon tax how we’re going to play against belt Richmond.
For all those coaches looking for last minute advice, here are my golden tips:
- Avoid more than 3 premiums from the one team unless you’re only trying to win your league and those teams are Fremantle, Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney. So if you’ve got N Riewoldt and Goddard, don’t put Montagna in the middle – your scoring power is just going to suffer too much when the Saints have their byes.
- Avoid playing more than one premium on the one line – I wouldn’t be pairing Swan and Pendles or Buddy and Cyril.
- Keep as few $ as possible on your benches – benches are the domains of rookies only.
- Make sure all your players are going to get a game in R1 (Gold Coast players aside).
- Don’t forget to name a captain, a vice captain and 3 emergencies.
- If you’re taking advantage of the captaincy loophole available in partial lockout rounds, name a Carlton or Richmond gun as your vice captain.
I don’t have the time to rate everybody’s teams tonight so please help me out by rating one or two teams while you’re posting your own. People will appreciate the help.
And if you get stuck, just have a read of this.
Cheers and Good Luck!!

When are you going to put you’re team up, Mottsy?
Fair comment. Gimme 15 mins.
Actually make that more like an hour – I’m justifying each selection
I was wondering, in my midfield emergency should I value a higher average or flexibility in my team?
Footy show should be finished by then
Where’s your team PA. I’ll show you mine if you show me yours!
That’s what you say to everyone :D.
Alright here you go, Deano.

Nice work mate – mine below.
Yep, nice team PA. The only query I have is Godd, Joey, Roo but I’m sure you’re aware that.

Yeah….theyre duds if you ask me!
Yeah I’m aware Motts, their each on a different line so it should be fine (I hope).
And this looks good too, Deano. McGlynn was another I should’ve added to my forward considerations.
Tough question. I’d go for flexibility this year.
Thighs, Haha nice one Deano. The only major diff I see between our teams is the Forwards, I don’t like Knights but each to their own. Looks like it’s going to come down to who makes the better trades during the year.

Bit light up front but the rest look super!
I think we’ve all got similar structures, I’ve just got more PODS. am quite happy with that though as I’ve got some trading strategies that I’m hoping will work to minimise the bye affect and if all goes to s#%$ then I can only blame myself.
I think Duff will rotate through the mids without Barlow/Mora and Hill/Mundy being underdone (has been training with them);
Hurny’s gotta give me a 100 average otherwise I’m dropping him;
McGlynn I’m punting will take more of ROK’s previous role roaming from mid to HF; and
Knights is too juicy at that price although it was a toss up with Vez.
Wasn’t it you that said” be gentle?”

Riewoldt. Franklin, Goodes, Pav, Slyvia, Knights, Richardson

Would have loved to get Petrie in but don’t have the cash. Maybe Knights goes and the Bailey intbe ruck for J Tippett. There is still time for amendments.
Yeah, I still might change my mids for a couple of PODs (have had 2 in mind) so it’s not finalized yet.
4 great teams boys, I’d happily run with any of them.
Don’t change it – I think Jack/Max etc just did a copy and paste! 🙂

I get the opposite! Avatar on iPhone, nothing on Mac. It’s really starting to shit me.
Too late, I’ve already have :D.
Anyone else notice that motts hot out of showing his team? Haha
Oh, my bad, phone didn’t update the new threads properly
No M/F DPP in the middle?
Ah, bit early for Mottsy.
Okay heres my team 🙂

Forwards: Riewoldt, Franklin, Goodes, Higgins, Yarran, Knights, Richardson

Richardson is only on the field because I think I have better cover in my forward line than my midfield, so i swapped AKrak in there for Smith.
I would love to have Gibbs, Veszpremi and Sandi but I can’t find room for them.
Advice? 🙂
Some pretty good teams on here so far!
I think I’m set on this – tried to chuck in a couple of unique guys
Backs:
Goodard, Gibbs. Grimes, Taylor, Everitt, Trengrove J, Duigan (Coad, Buckely S, Lower)
Mids:
Swan, Selwood J, Burgoyne, Goodes, Ward C, Swallow (Harris, Hibberd, Smith I)
Rucks:
Cox, Clark (Petrie, Smith Z)
Forward:
Franklin, Harvey B, Pavlich, Higgins, Walker T, Astbury, Krakouer (Matera, Richardson, Darling)
Biggest queries IMO – Walker, Trengrove Astbury.
Also considering switching Swallow for Conca – thoughts?
Cheers guys
Looks pretty good to me.
Personally not convinced about Cotchin but purely my opinion.
Also considering switching Petrie to the FWDS for Astbury and then brining in a cheper EMG ruck – thoughts? Would free up some cash
Question fellas.
Cross, Murphy, Pittard, Higgins, Pavlich or Judd, A Swallow, Ward, Knights, Pavlich or Murphy, Boyd, Cotchin, Higgins and Knights
Stumped on this
Craig Bolton just retired. In the unlikely event he was in your teams, its time for him to go.
I like (C)
Hello Everitt :mrgreen:, I’m a bit of a pri#k ain’t I :D.
Personally think you could upgrade either Cotchin or Danger by taking another rookie in your mids, either Harris or Swallow will be very serviceable as an M6 come round 2.
I like (B)
Knowing it is half the battle 😉

Depending on the mid rookie bench i have 60k-100k in the bank, might make minor adjustments based on that

Some great teams on the forum fellas, keep it up!
Hodge is out of Saturday nights game against the Crows – Issac Smith (a rare rookie MPP in the mids) will be his likely replacement…
Astbury & Otten
OR
Jackson Trengrove & Rookie (Toy, Coad or Stanley)
A.
Last minute nerves all right… Supercoach site has crashed and i havent entered my full team yet. Also have one more spot in one of my leagues to fill out. Any idea when it might be back up and running? I’m thinking maybe when everyone gets back to work from their lunch break. Hurry up people, your boss is watching the clock like an eagle!
Thanks mate, whatchya reckon – taylor walker or chris knights?
Walker, has more upside and not injury prone like Knights is, but this is based on my personal opinion :D.
Cheers – That’s how I was leaning – my forwards already has a number of people coming off injuries anyway!
That throws a spanner into the works. Who is my captain gonna be now????
Tossing up whether to dump Swallow and bring in Conca – would enable me to upgrade Isaac Smith to Bewick
Aghhh – too many decisions!
Maybe I should just leave it and ban myself for the rest of the day!
Put you’re team up and we’ll see where we can cut the fat, I’ll keep Swallow though.

I’d cut Astbury to a rookie such as Toy or Stanley and upgrade one of your other mid-pricers such as Walker
You can downgrade one of Swan –> Pendles (makes you $80k) or J.Selwood –> Bartel (makes you $76K).
Thanks guys – what do you think needs more strength – up forward or down back?
I reckon it’s a good mix also well balanced and like your unique picks in Taylor and Ward, Good luck, Bud.
Cheers guys for the feedback, much appreciated.
Good luck!
Gwilt v Hurley
Boak v Burgoyne.
Whaddya reckon?
Good to hear
@Fremantle_FC Fremantle Dockers
Congratulations to Jayden PItt & Nick Lower who will make their debuts for the Freo Dockers this Saturday night against the Lions
“Hird said top draftee Dyson Heppell was a likely starter against the Western Bulldogs on Sunday. But VFL recruit Michael Hibberd appears set to miss out.” (Source heraldsun.com.au)
Good to hear. Tapscott is going to play according to HS and Collins for Caaaarlton, tonight according to same site,
Tapscott worth a punt you think?
Absolutely. He is in my team and may even get a gig in the f/l depending on selection.
wasnt going to post it, in case my fellow leaguers see it, but i figure it may screw with their own thoughts if they see it anyway..!

Nervous about Otten and Hibberd
Any backline suggestions out of Cheney, Puopolo, B Smith and Batchelor?
Btachelor is named, but looks to be the sub.

Love this site! keep on keepin on guys!
I’m partial to Cheney if you have enough cash.
Hurley for DPP is handy out of the two but Gwilt is a chance to score well more consistently.
I’ve gone for Boak… apparently they call him ‘Brownlow’ at Port… gotta love that confidence!
I bought in Wood & Broughton to replace Hurn & Gwilt half an hour ago, but, 2 mins ago reverted back.
You’ve got a strong team here Giller. Good luck to ya fella.
I’m not convinced that Craig was telling the complete truth about Ottens. Either way, he’ll get better and better through out the year and is cheap. I’m staying the course with Ottens.
Cotchin out for Conca?
quick one,
can not decide out of judd and selwood???
selwood
Thanks G, good luck this year mate!
Selwood is a gun who will benefit from Ablett’s absence, hardly misses a game and will score better than last year.
Judd is a gun who lose from the increased midfield output of Murphy/McLean & Gibbs, is injury prone and is likely to score the same or less as last year.
has anyone heard that Harris is injured??
Good luck gents (and ladies)!!
