We had the same thing happen last week (Some guy posted in the wrong post twice….and it turned into a argument). Use the site correctly or don’t use it all. Your not the only person who uses the site.

That’s because it was reported on the AFL website that he may have been injured against the Lions…

The freebies ran out at the beginning of the month,People that did that prior to this month, should just about see them through to the SC granny ! I think each person can check when their expiry is by logging in and checking through their ‘My Account status”.

Just create a new Supercoach under a new email address and sign up again. Your team will be crap but at least you’ll have access still….

I like the look of Mike Pyke, anybody else rate him as a mid-pricer?

Although I appreciate reading your footy knowledge based posts & your 1 liners weekly Deano, this was not ya best comment to date!

As a father of a 8 year old that was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Luecemia at 3 1/2 years old & struggled in life right up to 12 months ago… I find your comment not only shallow but very very dissapointing.

Cancer is no laughing matter & should never be used in disrespect!

My comment was very serious hence not using any smiley faces or exclaimation marks although in hindsight I can see how it can be misinterpreted as jocular.
I was initially offended by The Fanatic’s post as it demeans Sam’s cancer fight by implying his return would benefit his fantasy football team.
Rather than entering into a tirade, the intent of my comment was to put into perspective the fact that fighting cancer far outweighs playing elite football, let alone fantasy footy.
My best mate was diagnosed with testicular cancer through a positive ASDA drug test whilst he was a National hockey player and I was side by side with him through the chemo and subsequent secondary cancer in his lymph nodes which he nearly died from during surgery. I know from this experience that going to his second Olympics in Atlanta was the furtherest thing from his mind during that time. My wife and both parents are also cancer survivors and like you, i find jokes about it highly distasteful.

I acknowledge that given the oft jocular nature of several of my posts and without this context, I should have used a more serious tone.

I apologise for the offense the post caused.

Deano,

I had absolutely no idea that Sam Rowe was suffering from cancer until I read your last post above. It was an innocent query given the Blues injuries to Kreuzer and their promotion of young Levi Casbolt. I do, however, take umbrage to the fact that you’d think I’d make fun of such a thing. Let me assure you in the strongest possible terms I would never stoop to such a level. I couldn’t imagine anyone on this site would.

Hopefully we’ll be reading about Sam’s successful recovery in the very near future.

Regards,
The Fanatic

Ive got Hale and Giles (with Redden and McCauley) as my rucks with Roughy playing up forward. I’m considering moving Roughy to the ruck and dumping Giles. I’m a little apprehensive to pull a trigger on anything with Bailey looming?!?!?!?!

TU: With only 4 trades left this sounds ok to me?
TD: Why not consider Jenkins or Bellchambers Leeroy?
Comments: your well thought out, life changing ruck advice

Cheers!

Essendon FC site says two weeks out for Ryder. If you are in top 8 comfortably then keep him. If not trade him for McEvoy or Jacobs.

Guys i was thinking about getting goldstein cause hes been doing well. But i dont know if i should get him because when mcintosh comes back into the side. Goldstein could drop again like before big mac got injured.
What do you guys reckon i should do?

With two trades left and giles representing the last weakness on the field, reckon it’s worth…
T/U – straight trade to bellchambers
T/D – use both trades and upgrade to Jacobs/Roughead

…or just hold on to the trades and hope for the best?

Much appreciated!
