Grundy answers his SuperCoach critics with a 130+, as does Oliver, as does Dangerfield, as does Gawn. One week is a long time in SuperCoach……don’t go chasing pts! What’s your score looking like after the Saturday in Rd2?

353/3/Jake Lloyd into Cripps atm
Living the dream Stewy.
137/1 VC for me.
Bring it on!
Living the dream Stewy.
137/1 VC for me…and a lot of others!
Bring it on.
419/4 Grundy, crisp, Moore and rusty. No clue about vice or capt yet
That’s better!
Oliver’ll probably score 120+ in a losing side tomorrow!
And Grundy’s not even fit yet;)
Boom
367/2
Taking Grundy’s VC (137) and I had the same captain combos as last week (VC- B Grundy, C- N Fyfe). Another great performance by D Moore and hopefully he can eventually post a 100+ to greatly help his cash generation to compensate for the non playing/ poor cash generating rookies.
With Greene’s non selection I will be fielding 8 rookies this round (X Duursma, J Clark, S Walsh, B Scott, C Constable, W Drew, W Setterfield and M Parker) so hopefully some of the poor Rd1 performing premiums (C Oliver, Z Merrett and J Darling) can have a performance similar to Grundy’s.
137/1/Bines
Bines had a ripper performance last week so I am backing him in again. Seeing how many times I can captain his this year.
For the Tech team it is 474/4/Grundy
Decided that the team didn’t want to be chasing all season to get him in so, start now.
230 with 2 players used, Grundy and Moore. Had VC on Grundy so will loophole to get his score as captain.
I’m in exactly the same boat
Ditto 😀
I’ll join this club! Good start to the round
490/3 Grundy
Crisp a big night with a handy 123 as a POD and Moore as F4 with 93 the other 2 players along with Grundy tonight. Go Pies .
I know there will be critics saying to hold,but Dusty is getting the flick next week.
Dustys like most workers in this great country , his hand will go up when its a simple task , but when you need the best people to bust a nut to get the tough jobs done , he’s the one hiding in the dunny
U know what they say. “If u want a job done properly, do it yourself “
Im always happy to bust a nut
353/3/ VC Gawn, C McRae
Great start to the week Grundy bouncing back, how people traded him I don’t know.
Crisp was ok last week but was really dominant tonight, high priced POD.
Moore got some cheapies but I don’t care if he can stay fit for 7-10 weeks will prove to be a great selection
Also I’m a pies fan & am happy to see a good game unlike last weeks match which was hard to watch.
will Moore
t/u stay in defence
or
t/d move back into the fwd line
500/3/ Treloar
Not sure why the thumbs down, great start Buddy.
Thanks PA.
I don’t usually post my progress score as it is like going the early crow but this round I might have finally gotten my captain choice right. It was my Achilles heel last season as I never seemed to nail it. Still it is a long weekend of Supercoach to go and I expect many many teams to pass me quickly.
Good luck PA and all who visit this amazing site.
260/Grundy, Crisp/ C Sweet VC Grundy
137/1/Rocky into Danger.
The bad news is that Cunningham, Ridley and Hore are out in Def. Cunningham 4 wks, Ridley and Hore no JS with Hooker/May coming back.
TU Bite the bullet and bring in one of Wilkie or H Taylor (In my watchlist)
TD Cope a donut and wait until next round
Interestingly enough is the fact they bring in another rookie for Hore , for me it will be next week, for you it must be this week , imo
Can’t understand ess lose by 20 goals and Ridley gets the blame
274/1/Grundy
Off to flyer 🙂
exact same as The Death Adder above 490/3 – or will be once Grundy’s score is doubled up, was reading early comments in the Game Chat thread…more than a few going the early Crow hey??…great to see Schwarzy give ’em some stick haha!
Lol, rookie mistake. I checked my phone thinking all was fine realising I was fielding a donut in defence, which judging by the players I could fix up Saturday. But I hadn’t refreshed my phone, forgetting I was thinking on the PC at home. So I traded hore for Lockhart. Ah well one corrective (incorrective) trade down. An no donuts in defence so far.
703/5/Grundy (c)
Grundy, Pendles, Beams, Howe & Moore in the sheds.
5/504
Heeney a disappointment, but otherwise, pretty ecstatic. Two good scores from my mid pricers.
VC on Lloyd and I’ll think I’ll take his 124, don’t want to repeat my mistake last week of rolling the dice on a good captian score.
570/6 – Heeney and Mills let me down again – already thinking about trading them both for Sicily and Worpal.
What do you reckon?
Grundy, Moore, Trelor and Laird were my other 4 – captain this week is Fyfe, Rocky VC
Interested in thoughts on trading above?? Thanks
I hear ya
577/7
heeney and dusty didn’t do me any favours.
there’s an article on site that claims heeney is carrying an ankle injury :S
Is John Longmire becoming the new Ross Lyon of supercoach. Freo, if they keep their style up will score lots of points.
https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-03-29/why-misfiring-swans-cant-put-young-guns-in-the-middle
I’ve renamed my team Superspuds !! Can anyone tell me when Dusty last laid a tackle ?
2017
2018.
I’m a tigers supporter and would love to see Dusty fire but 2017 was his one great year. The other teams have adapted to his game style since then.
I think at best he is a m7 or m8 but more likely outside top 10.
To add to that Richmond isnt very SuperCoach friendly and will often score less SC points than opposing teams even when they win.
293/3/c Bines Vc Grundy
Other 2 Liard & Heeney (will stick with Heeney as I have Kelly already
735/7/ Gawn VC & McRae C
Good start to most players M Crouch saved his game last night with a 30+ last quarter.
Can’t say the same for Heeney however I don’t think we should be trading him, he will still end up in the top 10 fwds IMO.
490/5 Rocky /macrae.
I really wanted to not run heeney as the guy everyone else had which I didn’t. But more midfield time and not being able to decide who to select instead of him made me take a cautious approach.
If Kelly backs up this week I’ll be sad, considering he was the most likely for me to take.
6/622 vc grundy finally of to a good start
So I have rocky as VC and Fyfe as C.
If I put Bines on field and make Gawn emergency, I can decide whether to captain Bines or not before WC kick off?
425/4/Vc grundy
Haven’t added Vc score ( bit frosty from last night)
Grundy-Lloyd-Smith-Heeney
Worried about Heeney looks slow like he’s carrying an injury, but could of been just on of those nights for him, plus near everybody got him so no damage done score wise.
Long wait till first game today!!
595 / 6 / V/C on Sloane. C on Cripps.
Grundy
Moore
Sloane
Brodie
M Crouch
Heeney
Heeney is playing hurt so I will forgive him this week.
M Crouch made a great comeback to nearly ton up,He also played hurt. So a good return really.
Sloane started great ( 40 point 1st Q ) ,thought he was up for a big one. I can’t really be upset with 105
Looking forward to ( a late starting ) Super Saturday.
Quick thumbs.
T/U Stick with Cripps as C
T/D Take a punt on Rocky.
Comment Danger.
Cheers. 🙂
should have taken the punt on rocky haha
On track to score 1730 from 17. Rocky captian should have named danger.
Have Lyons Goldie Scott. Walters and Jack scrimshaw. So who knows what I can end up with
Are we SURE I should take Grundy’s VC over Macrae tomorrow?
Rule of thumb so to speak is usually anything 125+, I took Cripps 126 last week and was satisfied with that.
Yeah, I don’t want to be greedy but so many people will have Fyfe or Danger and I feel like I need to do something to remain competitive.
Danger only got 17 more points tho, it’s not the end of the world stuff 😉
Lock in B Grundy’s score. Fyfe could easily post his 1st sub 100 score against GC or even suffer an injury in the 1/2 half. As PA mentioned above always take anything over 120 to 125+. The only reason not to is if you expect your captain to score 30+ more than your VC (eg 150+) but it’s normally not worthwhile due to the greater likelihood of it being a unsuccessful selection.
Alright, alright. Cheers. Just needed to hear the voices of reason.
Im such an idiot. I thought West Coast played tomorrow so i had Danger loopholed as VC and now cant get the score! Don’t let me down Fyfe !
In the same boat. Need Macrae to go nuts today
1924/18/ Grundy c
Neale, Scott, Libba & Collins or burgess to go
Lycett helped
2101 / 19 / Grundy
macca, cousins and scott to play

1920 / Dangerfield
4 to play – Bailey Scott, Neale, Scrimshaw, Dunkley
1588/6 to go/ Rocky into Danger…nooo into Cogs.
Supercoach Gods are cruel. Was having dinner with a Carlton mate and his family. His mum and dad came down from Vic and love AFL too. At Half time Rocky is 80+, it is raining but I am confident and I give him plenty of banter bcoz Cripps his VC was lagging behind, then turned off my phone to be social….
40 mins or so later he gets out his bottle of Yamazaki Japanese single malt Whisky, with a big grin on his face. He whispers to me : “Great call on Rocky mate, thats a stroke of genius, he is killing it, you deserve a drink of the best, so do I , Nice one legend!!!”. Then he pulls out his 6 year old doddgy cigars he got from a trip to Cuba…His wife is in stiches, I think there is more, I think they are pregnant… Then,
I become suspiscious, I know he only gets that bottle out for special occasions so I dont think his smile is genuine, I sneak to the bathroom, turn on my phone , Rocky is stuck on 105. I rushed to move C from Sweet to Danger, Danger is locked out, I have Neale and Cogs left, I know Neale will be tagged, I hear my mate calling out loud where was I, I move the C on Cogs… The rest you know: Cogs 51.
Sorry I have to bore you with this story, it was just too funny, My mate had the last laugh bcoz he had moved his C from Cripps to Danger in the last minute before Geelong lock out. Needless to say we cleaned up the bloody bottle…. Only Supercoach gives you moments like that. Happy playing
Please share your bad captain call and lets have a laugh, maybe Schwarzie can get us a funny thread?
Hahaha funny stuff. Great to hear story’s like that.
1910/Rocky with 3 to play. Little off the pace this round, plenty of 90ish scores not enough bigger tons.
Sigh… rookies, rookies, rookies and heeney.
Need jacmac (c) to put up a monster to have any hope of getting past 2200. Also have Neale and dunkly.
1700 off 19.
Thanks Jeannott, you made our day. One week is a such a long time in Supercoach. My Bf (He is a veteran supercoach player) is one of the few people who rage traded Grundy out this week. He convinced himself that this year is not one for the rucks . Last week He had VC Grundy for C Oliver while I went VC Cripps for C Coniglio, He told me I was a girl who doesn’t understand supercoach, I was a rookie, Coniglio got 154 and Oliver, meh .
This week , reverse fortune, maybe not, He brought in Lycett for Grundy but put VC on Rockliff and was planning the C on Dangerfield. He was so so happy happy with Rockliff early score, he rang about everyone. Didn’t end well and like you he refused to take Rockliff’s score and got locked out last minute on Dangerfield and moved the Captain armband on to Coniglio. Lycett as you know got 167 to Coniglio 52. We didn’t have a bottle of whisky but our wall copped a bottle of Coopers and I got the silent treatment until this morning when I heard : Babe, quick ,come have a look, there is that idiot Frenchman you like on Supercoach talk who did the same thing as me, see, see. We are in a happy mood now and going out for brunch because of you. Thanks. Keep stuffing up.
Ok 1698/ 5players yet to play/ Vc Cripps/C Sheed
You guys should have a weekly standing thing going on where the lowest captain score pays up at brunch.
Hahaha love it. Thank god my partner doesn’t play SuperCoach. I’d be broke from all the lunches and dinners out.
I didn’t use to play supercoach but I couldn’t escape it. They say you cannot beat them, join them right? except I think I am better at it. And every time I say Father Dougal said this or All Saints said that or Jeannott suggested this or Schwarzwalder posted that… he think they are all idiots.. Then he Captains Conoglio and I didn’t . He should’ve asked meeeee.
LaBomba and OriginalForce, good idea to take to my mate. Brunch or Dinner or glass of whisky from the lowest scoring captain of the round, formidable. I will try next time to be more flexible. My rule is to take 120+ from my VC. Rules are there to be broken I will bring it down to 105, maybe 104?
Sure, but I always chase 130. Danger, macrae, Grundy, Cripps Odds are OK. Either break even or gain lose 20-30 points. Usually gain provided you only use proven captain options and not Neale, dusty, Sloane types. JUST MY PERSONAL THING not suggesting anyone should do it.
But it’s only a little gain? How often do you wish your rookie scored 50 and not 30? It helps.
1692/16/Grundy
Proj-2310
I hate Sunday’s especially when your team looks like it might be looking at a decent score.
I get that churning feeling of impending doom in my guts, wife keeps yelling at me because im to busy checking scores and totally ignoring her, and just adding the obligatory “yes dear” now and then.
And generally by the end of the round most of my players have let you down and you curse the damned supercoach gods.
Bloody Supercoach.
Anyway today is going to be a good day,
B.Scott-Sicily-Macrae-Libba-Fyfe-Mundy to go.
Good luck to all the Sunday hopefuls
1899/ 18/ Rocky into Macrae.
Thanks for sharing guys. I know the feelings. My wife thinks I spend way too much time on SuperCoach , researching, reading. She doesn’t understand why I couldn’t just set my captain and VC and forget. I have to often sneak in the dunny to check and it makes me feel like I am cheating on her. She thinks I need to go to the Doctors to see what is wrong with me guts. Her mum thinks I am addicted too which doesn’t help the situation. I Traded in Rocky bcoz I got greedy hoping Rocky would go ballistic on Carlton. Hope Macrae doesn’t let me down.
1906/18/Grundy. Macrae, Dunkley, Neale and Scott to go. Hoping for 2250+
Heeney and Bailey Scott’s antics have cost me, so I’ll finish on around 2170.
Is that okay?
Oh, wait, I can’t do math properly- will finish on 2238 instead.
Is that okay?
I scored 2400 pretty happy with that
Wow, nicely done.
2210 Macrae
I’m really concerned Coniglio is going to be like Sloane of 2017 (getting hard tagged every game)
Stoked with Burgess and Fyfe bring it home. Have finished on around 2290 pre scaling.
Hopefully I can ride into the top 5k!
2189/ Fyfe
Not unhappy with this score as I feel it could have been much worse.
Goldy Heeeney Martin & Coniglio &Scott all had shockers
Rescued by Libba, Lycett in particular.
Beat my score of last week so I am am going okay overall I reckon.
