2306/ Pendles
ones on the chopping block
– zorko- (64) apparently is injured
– Roughy- disappointing 59 against a poor Geelong ruck outfit
– hannerberry- (85) risky option, didn’t pay off
– karnezis- (60) part of my mid pricers forward line, unsure about him but looked good in the NAB cup
– Smith- (72) as #1 ruck option as Suns, thought he would flouish, willing to give him another crack though
– varcoe (61) same as karnezis
2256/GAJ
Disappointing return today with Buddy & Varcoe, but happy enough with the start to the year.
Now to start tweaking the team for next week.
2,335/Swan..
Roughead, Zorko & Dangefield pathetic.
Happy with Jacobs, Grimes, Hartlett, Gibbs, Goodes, Pittard, Swan, Pendles, JPK, Fyfe, Viney, Wines, Rockliff and even Jenkins.. Cox was ok but did expect more.
Goodbye nick lower bad experiment, worse result. Not happy to lose le cras early too but them the breaks (pardon the pun)
Ended up on 2335ish… Depends on Bartel’s score.
Very happy with Swallow against the Pies… My only win with the POD’s.
Hanley only getting a reprimand is handy for sure and Zorko will bounce back.
Viney’s ton sitting on the bench won’t happen again… Teething problems but no early trades needed which is nice.
2394/JPK
Buddy was the only disappointment for the round. Love rookies scoring tons.
happy with blicav for a first up game. he mistimed his jump a little in the ruck but he will learn. hope the cats give him a little more of a run cause he could be a handy chop out ruckman and maybe a third defender or forward.
dont know if I am happy with Varcoe and his 61. good he clear break even but we were all hoping for around 80.
finished with a slightly disappointing 2140.
love to know how that fella that was on 2700 prior to this game.
really hope he had another blinder and gets close to that magically 3000 mark
2338/JPK. Happy with that. Lecra to Kennedy & Harlett to Watts looks the obvious. Really think Watts has no heart.
Was going to downgrade Franklin – Zorko and upgrade Swan – Ablett but unfortunately I decided that 5 minutes into the WB v Bris game. #spewing.
Now doing my research, I have found that Franklin isnt good value for money, at 600k you would want 100+ pts regulary but he only scored that 10 times last year, if it wasn’t for his 200+ score last year he would be around the 500k mark 🙁
2202/Swan
Final score of 2226 with GAZZ as Captain.
Nine members of my paid league finished sub 2000 this week, including a 1387, so they definitely failed to follow SuperCoach Talk over the summer! Looks like I might be reaping the rewards this season! 😀
Ablett (178), Pendlebury (160), Gibbs (150), Wines (125) and Viney (117) were stand outs this week, earning themselves a big tick for round 1! Viney and Wines were very impressive for their first matches of AFL football against the big blokes!
Watts (48), Zorko (60), Roughead (58), Dangerfield (63), Shuey (56) and Karnesis (60) were quite a worry, and I’ll have my eye on them in the coming weeks! Watts and Roughead looked uninterested and lazy, so will be watching them closely in the coming weeks! #whatareyouguysdoing #notpaidforthat
Overall content with round one, and embarrassingly, this may actually be my greatest score ever as I was pretty abysmal last year!
Waiting on Friday; bring on round two!
– MTC
2425/Gaz
clda cracked 2600 with zorko, karnezis, goddard lifted a little very happy though
2230/JPK
i’m giving dangerfield,zorko,roughead a warning not much you can do with maccafer.
however rapt with Birchall today! I would’ve liked the extra 60 points with gaz as captain, and also viney on the field instead of stevens. Traded out goldstein for roughhead which was a poor choice, but bring on round 2!
Pretty shizzen start to the year all round.
2174/JPK when it seems 2300 was a pass mark in a big scoring round 1. Lowly 3 tips and there was some game today that I didn’t really enjoy.
Rookies were a highlight (how bad would my score have been if it wasn’t for Wines, Viney, Goodes & Pittard) and most of my guns did their job. It was the punts where it all went wrong. Watts has to go and I’m thinking about downgrading Buddy for now to get the cash for Hartlett. Dangerfield better step up but I probably have to stick with him. If Rich doesn’t perform next week Mundy will be looking really good. Steven and Smith were just average but I’ll show some faith there for now.
If I found the magic lamp right now I’d happily waste a wish on another crack. As it is those extra trades might get burnt pretty quick.
2321/GAJ. Happy with everyone bar Danger and Watts. Rookies were awesome. Pity that Bradley Hill fell out of the game after his great first quarter.
2280/GAJ
Positives – Selwood, birchall, ablett captain, pendles, Gibbs, Maric, viney, wines and goodes (on bench)
Negatives – yarran, buddy, roughead, brown on field instead of goodes, Stevenson on field instead of pittard, karnezis and macaffer
Although a decent first round!
What to do with lecras?
Thumbs up – trade
Thumbs down – hold on
Thanks
2474/GAZ
slightly disappointing day today but can’t complain too much. Was Hoping to crack 2500 with 156 needed from both Blicavs and Varcoe..
Possible trades next week could be Murphy to S.Mitchell depending on their games in round 2 and keeping my eye on Karnezis and Dusty. Karnezis, Varcoe and Heppell were the only disappointments.
Keep watts thumbs up
Downgrade to Cloke thumbs down?
2490/Gaz
bads – zorko, varcoe, heppell, karnezis
happy with the rest
2097/Swan
Not happy, but that’s what happens when you get a glaring doughnut in the first round thanks to Heath Shaw’s late out. Dangerfield and Zorko on the chopping block.
2337/GAJ
Unhappy with Danger, Ryder and Buddy…Cost just under 2 mill for a return of 175……
Happy with rookies smashing tons….I dont feel like ive really missed any of them thus far ( although i felt i had at quarter time today lol) Forward line cheapies was looked at as a concern b4 the season and has turned out that way with really only Kennedy looking value for money….
After last year im just happy to escape the weekend injury free ( as he knocks on wood)
2295/Swanny
5 blokes under 65 and no Gaz so pretty happy with that. 196.4k in the bank so already thinking Danger to Gaz haha.
2307/ablett happy with that, half a dozen players down but all good players so they will bounce back.
2309/JPK
No GAJ, no worries! 🙄 Bah! I’ll bring him in later! Most things went to plan bar keeping Wines on the bench for Kobi, (a)pathetic Watts, and McCafe as F6. Zmith was ok but expect more.
Will turn Daw into Krooozer this week, and manoeuvre Cox into the forwards (to get McCafe onto the bench). Zmith may become Griffin the week after.
Chopping block – Watts, Daw (strategic reasons)
Monitor – Kobi, Zmith
Bring on the end of the lockout!
2243/Gaj
All the usual Positives and Negatives. Went Dusty to Watts last minute and was not happy. Dusty got his usual 70-80 at halftime then ends up with 86.When will he turn it on? Watts you have 1 game to give me a ton or your getting the big red T.
Any thoughts on who to trade too? I think keep the same team for this week.
1 round in and alarm bells ringing everywhere. 2319 a respectful score but it’s a worry when your rookies outperform your premiums…
Zorko, Bennell, Heppell, Goddard, Bartel all sub-100 which is worrying. Step it up boys!
On a more positive note, think I might’ve found a ripper in Bradley Hill. 1st quarter was great, shame he got subbed though.
2324/gaz
Had a decently good round but should have got in the 2500 with varcoe franklin scoring terrible and duffield scoring a bit average.
Went with a risk and chose sammy mitchell over jobe and it paid off. Very happy with some young guns and pendles and gazz and gibbs scoring over 140 each
2200/JPK
Had Mitch Robinson and Kane Mitchell on field, going for league win so not to fussed but wish I had picked Mundy over 1 of my 5 600k+ players and not got Mitch Robinson. Thinking of getting rid of Robbo but the last two seasons the 50k winners have not traded untill round 3 so ill have to have a strong think. Could’ve got around 2300 if Mitchell and Robbo were right.
2207/ GAJ
8 players scoring 65 or under hurts a bit, Robinson gets a pass, but the others are going to be examined.
Go Cats!!
2338/GAZ
Happy with my team overall.
Special thumbsup to Swan, Ablett, Gibbs, Wines & Pendles
Have to thank my other rookies as well.
Now to the choping block
1. Danger… Bad bad game, I’m gettng very nervous holding you. I hear you had the flu so may give you one more week.
2. Ellis- For 300k a score of 35 doesnt even come close -Fired
3. Zorko – You played injured, so I will forgive this game
4. Franklin – For you that score is possible, next week it could be 200. Your the best Foward there is, so I’ll keep you, but no more scoring like that.
5. Macaffer – Your only there because I don have anone better to replace you with. Pull up your socks.
2246/GAJ…………..only just happy with that start for R1.
Thanks Gaz, Pendles, Gibbs & JPK………….gr8 effort Goodes, Wines & Viney on debut…..awesome effort!
Several players on the chopping block!
Highlight over Easter ( I know, no1 bad dad 2013 ) Proud of my 8 year old son, he said to me after todays game………..I really hate the Cats dad……… I think it’s only that we haven’t frikken beaten them since he’s understood footy since the 2008 GF when he was 4!
2078/Swan
Found this site in the pre-season, top analysis and tips, keep up the great work!
Now to my vents:
– Robinson’s noggin hurt.
– Had Wines through the pre-season, only to change to Toumpas prior to Mel/PA match.
– Nick Lower as a unique backfired badly. Similar sentiments for Houli and Lucas.
scrotum scratchers
2400 – gaz
happy with the overal score of the team
special thanks goes out to ..
ablett -178
pendles-160
gibbs- 150
jp kennedy -147
swanie- 136
wines- 125
viney -117
B goodes- 113
pittard- 93
2277/Swan
Top 5: Pendlebury (160) Gibbs (150) JPK (147) Swan (136) Wines (125)
Special mentions: Hartlett, Rockliff, Goodes, Jacobs, Deledio, Viney, Pittard
Won’t be trading this week, don’t feel the need to hit the panic button after one poor performance. Dangerfield and Franklin will keep their spots although Buddy looked lazy and uninterested today and will be on the chopping block with another effort like that in RD 2.
Viney on the bench was unlucky and no Ablett was plain stupid.
Hoping Blicavs, Rowe or Daw are named otherwise I’ll be in trouble in the rucks.
The countdown begins for Friday night!
I’m happy For a round 1 score of 2249 considering that it is a long season and most of my 30 players got a game. Wasn’t really happy with zorko ryda goddard hepps duffield. Hill getting subbed was a bummer. Had an amazing 1st qtr. I also don’t have viney because I needed a mid/fwd link in my mids and chose neade. I want to keep kommer because I believe that the dons will consistently give him games. But if viney is going to continue to keep killing it I will be forced to make a trade.
Mid rookies are omeara wines hill kommer and neade. If I am to bring in viney who gets the chop? I suppose kommer? Like everyone I’m gonna have an itchy T finger. Gotta remain calm and stick to my game plan
Who are the FWD/DEF DPP apart from watts?
when is hodge back Catta ?
wooot ranked 990 =]
A nice even 2300 to start the season.
10,467th is an ok starting point to launch an attack for Overall Glory.
The site is obviously worth following when the SCT League of Extraordinary Coaches #1 starts off the season ranked 66th. We’ve got some talent around these parts!
Fails – Heath shaw (with Terlich and Vlastuin on the bench because a) the backline looked safe & b) at the in laws all weekend and didn’t want to be glued to my phone.
– having Viney on the bench and Toumpas on the field
– my pods – Harry Taylor, Hawkins, Watts
– buddy, danger, Goddard
Players like Blicavs, Varcoe, Karnezis etc are passable
Overall 2020. Massive fail.
Finished with 2414 and sure am happy with that. Ranked 1335 at the moment and aiming to push into that top 1000. Although not sure about the guy that claimed he had scored 2700 considering the highest score was 2622…… interesting.
2,336. – Steady as she goes for rnd 2.
ranked 222 not bad i guess….
Good Start!
Guessing that lad who was on 2700 was taking the piss haha, top score this week 2622!
Score of 2457 and ranked 384. Pretty happy with that after being dirty with the likes of Dangerfield and Goddard after week 1. Gablett, Pendles, Swan, JPK, Rockliff, Gibbs and Grimes the standouts.
Whoo!! Ranked 22 overall!! 2530 points. Made 2 bad calls on Karnezis and Varcoe but getting Griffen and Monfires totally paid off. 😀
2251/GAJ Not too bad for a horribly long round 1.
Happy with Gibbs, GAJ, Pendles, JPK, Mundy, Rockliff.
rookies that performed above expectations Pittard, Goodes, Wines. Viney and O’Meara both unfortunately benched. (Had Mitchell and Hill on field – Hill’s first quarter looked promising)
Honourable mention to LeCras – cant take a trick. Have to decide should I keep or trade, unfortunately Fwd line really needs a replacement.
Would like to see more from Danger, Franklin, Goddard, Cox, Zorko.
Bring on R2.
2241.
My entire foward line need to lift their game (possible exception in Cox though I was still expecting higher than a 96 with Nic Nat out). Especially happy with Gibbs, Goodes, Ablett, Pendles, Cotchin & Swan. Ruck devision were both solid with scores of 112 and 102.
As mentioned previously, I would have changed Kane Mitchell to Ollie Wines had I known he was going to play as the sub. Rolling lockouts= remember to keep a bloody ear out! Might have to go shopping with my $100k purse… Or do I wait a week or two. I personally don’t think it’s even worth waiting.. Honestly don’t know why I didn’t pick Wines in the first place, especially when I saw how good he was watching the live draft. So annoyed at myself more than any of my players.
How did our SCTTL’s fare? I got 1736 O_o but at least in the eight! (7th in SCTTL3)
2296/Gaz
Mitchell on field but very happy with Gaz, Pendles, Cotch, Rok, Gibbs, Rocky and my rookie selections.
Disappointed with scores from Longer, Karnesis, Zork (unlucky injury), Varcoe
Looking to trade Broughton … yes Broughton. I got stuck trying to pull off a five rookie back line but Vlastin then Terlich not named wrecked that plan (not much I could do by Saturday morning but hope for the best).
The good news is I left $200k in bank to fix the structure.
Trading to be done.
I have already pulled the trigger. Out goes leCras for Kennedy. And out goes Stevens for wines
We got any lawyers in our midst? What do I need to do to be excused for laying Jeff Kennet on his self-servicing arrogant arse?
F#%k the curse! Geelong have the wood on us because they have more self belief when it matters. But now, because he is so pathetic and worried about being blamed for this he has called for Clarko’s head after one game. This does nothing but undermine what we are trying to do. I’ve backed him up for a long time because he helped make us an off-field success but no more.
Shut your mouth you f&%cking dinosaur and realise that the only people who give a shit about what you say are the journos who can get some cheap headlines out of it!
Rant over.
2409/Gaz
The people I’m disappointed with are:
Goddard- probably still getting used to Essendons game plan, would have been good to have Hartlett though, that kid can play.
Zorko/Karnezis- hoping it was just a bad day for the lions. Not in any real danger of being traded.
Dangerfield- hoping the reports that he was playing with the flu are true, will probably have to hold him.
Lecras- great game but why did you have to get injured! That’s one trade gone already, I think Koby Stevens is also injured? So that’s two already.
Macaffer- scoring 44 as a F6 is probably a bit below what I was hoping for but I guess he costs the same as a rookie so can’t complain. Hopefully he regains his form from that year he averaged 80 odd but not too worried.
Everyone else I was pretty happy with, looking at a
Lecras > Kennedy
Stevens > Wines
People shouldn’t be panicking about their premiums just yet based on one round. You chose them to be keepers and you can’t judge them from the one week.
my Forward Line is an absolute diagrace
Franklin Roughead Zorko and Pavilch with Mcaffer and Neades
64 was the highest score!!!, It has taken all my strength not to hit the Trade Button tonight!!
2398/GAJ -Pretty happy all round. I should have had an extra 70 by having Wines on the field instead of the pine, but live-n-learn.
Those waiting for GAJ to drop in price – bad decision
Loving the tons form the rookies – but word of waring, don’t expect that every week.
specific to me – Loved Grimmes, my two less common rucks Goldy and Krooz delivered 125 and 114… couldn’t be happier. Selwood – I actually think i love another man, went to the game and he was unbelievable! Rockliff, what a fantastic effort, and still can’t quite understand why people took Zoko ahead of him, but maybe it’s just me who deosn’t like paying 500k for a second year rookie.
Team: I like Dumplings
2429 (Ranked 892 overall)
1st in SCT LOEC2
Looking at fixing up Dangerfield n Heppell if they have another bad game
Last minute trades ( K Mitchell to wines, Watts to Grimes helped a lot)
Who had a good look at the Freo West Coast game? What kind of role is Nick Suban playing?
Terra Ryzing – 2064/Pendlebury
I can’t say I’m completely disappointed, just that hindsight is a bitch.
Picking my team however is only half the battle, I’ve made some bad choices here but the year is just starting.
I’ll be behind but week by week, slowly I’ll be on my way to the top.
2467 and ranked 283 🙂
2292/Jack
Captaincy punt backfired with both GAJ, Pendles and JPK in my team and going large.
Watts is a major concern.
Rubbish
2267/gaj
Trades for this week im thinking-
Goddard to hartlett – bank 90k
Lucas to wines – bank 50k
Then watch form of varcoe and karnezis and possibly upgrade to walker.
Any thoughts?
Anyone know whats up with heath shaw?
Thanks
scored 1926 could scored more if I put jager man on the field also had pavlich hurt him self so traded him out for mayne after pavs score of 58 and also dileido after he scored 78 for Andrew swoller have 298 k left in the bank so no need for me to make any more trades until my rookies make me money
So I spend all pre season on my main team and my second team an experimental team that I only checked on now scores 2497 with Whitfield on the ground and Viney on the bench…….( add another 70 points) and is ranked 98th overall…..If I got the above move right I wouldve been 50 points off the winner and possibly top 20..Deary me
Should I trade out Petrie or Dusty for Josh Kennedy so that I can upgrade Petterd to Ablett (swapping Bartel into the forward line)?
scored 2136
ranked 50396
not happy considering I was going to do this before the round started and for some reason didn’t 🙁
round 1 over 2 weeks sucks … alternatively I suck
Can you still change your team name?
2387/GAJ. I’m happy with my decision to stick with the regular as captain, and happy with a solid start. Only a couple of things annoying me.
– Dane Zorko’s round 1 performance. But he will stay, and hopefully lift.
– Starting Kane Mitchell ahead of Nick Kommer. Mitchell making 13 and Kommer ripping out 70 made me regret that.
All in all, I’m satisfied with a solid start. Bring on the head-to-head!
Just thinking I should nonchalantly slot a trade in this week after being a witness to the extended weekends performances
P. Dangerfield out
K. Cornes in.
Bestow me with your well-founded opinions 🙂
Losing faith in Mitch Robinson for some reason, also Tom Bellchambers is worrying me as my no. 1 ruck. 60K in the bank, any suggestions?
Keep or trade Luke Shuey?
Thought he’d be such a massive POD with break out potential this year. Watched the game and past the first quarter no one from West Coast seemed to have a good game so I’m not panicked, and he managed to still rack up 6 tackles, which is a decent effort.
Trade – Thumbs Up
Keep – Thumbs Down
That was the two attention-grabbing likewise as insightful!
Thank you for sharing your feelings with us.
