Melbourne V Hawthorn (MCG) – I’ve noticed quite a number of people pinning their hopes on Lance Franklin as captain this week against the hapless Dees. A bold move, but one that should pay off as Melbourne are 2nd in Points Against this season. His last outing against Melbourne yielded 140 SC points on the back of 23 disposals and a score of 3.7. The time before that he kicked 5.2, gathering 20 disposals and scoring 132 points. Grant Birchall comes back in for the Hawks, which will be a much needed boost to a few teams. Will Terlich be a late withdrawal? We’ll bring it to you as soon as we hear any word.
North Melbourne V St.Kilda (Etihad) – Saint Nick has been struggling with the effects of the concussion sustained last weekend and will be given until the last minute to prove his fitness. Neither of these sides are fielding popular SuperCoach premiums. The most selected player running out there today will be Todd Goldstein, still in only 10.6% of sides, despite his lofty 112.9 average. Who have you got running out there today? And will North Melbourne shake their last quarter fade out yips?

guys need help
t/u viney -> hutchings
t/d – save a trade mate!!
in a desperate attempt to win my h2h need to take a risky capt.
Up – franklin
Down – nic nat
Should i use emergency loophole and take Rampe 79 sc points…or keep Hutchings on the field
My main league game is very close
Never take the C of GAJ….learnt that last night by putting Stevie J, although think Buddy has the potential to get a huge score
Next week, I need to make an upgrade to either Bartel Griffen or Cotchin. All playing really well, and Im not sure who to choose
Dont really mind if they have a bye in the next round. I just want them in my team!
T/U- Whitfield to Bartel
T/D- Whitfield to Cotchin
Comment – Whitfield to Griffin
Terlich playing. Result. No lake hawk changes too!
Riewoldt not playing
Who else sat there in amazement after watching Gary Ablett’s goal from the boundary line v the Cats last night?
He’s just a freak when it comes to doing the undoable!
Got to give Terlich a bit of credit being out there. 60 points out of him would be nice.
Don’t want to speak too soon, but good signs from birchall thus far.
Just sitting back in China watching the Hawks Dees game and a Corona to start proceedings left the C on The champ Buddy, how bad are Melbourne this is going to be a white wash
Melbourne you are the worst side in the afl Mark Neeld your days are numbered

Buddy experiment not looking so got at half time. Need a big second half…
Games like this are going to slowly kill the AFL. People won’t go. People won’t watch on TV. The only people interested are the SC’ers.
I really need Fox Footy so I can watch the games that count.
Franklin looking more and more like a Giant.
Franklin is such a chump

Thanks for your help with the scores again, Gus!
Buddy = 3 possessions, two frees against in a half of football.
I need Buddy to get busy in the last Qtr, carrying the C….
Week off was good for birchall!

if anyones annoyed they played buddy as capt. just remember other popular choices were watson, joelwood and steve johnson
If Franklin would concentrate on playing footy rather than constantly playing for frees he might kick a few more
Buddy is gone his teammates hardly kick it to him he does not look interested at all.
Not so sure I am so far in front now 🙁
Awww well, wont be making that mistake again.
Those afl traiva experts…surely mark neeld must have the worst average losing margin for those that have coached 20 games or more….anyone?
Only 79 to Franklin in a 90 point win to the Hawks. Something definitely a miss. Was thinking of bringing him in after his BYE but don’t think so now.

Buddy Franklin … I hope you follow this site … ’cause you officially suck!! Get your head in the right space, have some pride in your jumper and not in your wallet … pathetic against arguable the worst team in the league at the moment …. rant over!
Scott waters fair dinkum u are pathetic! Jimmy Webster is ur best young talent! And u sub him on has 8 touches in 10 minutes with a goal then u bench him! Any wonder the saints are going no where
Mullett…. why did I trade him out?
Oh yeah. 4 weeks of crap scores due to injury.
Birchall 118, very good. Hope he comes back to form, could be a handy pickup at a pretty cheap price.
Who wins from here?
Me – Vlastuin, J.riewoldt, Nic Nat, JJK
Opponent- Vickery, LeCras + 229 points
Projection says someone will win by 7 points, not sure who cause the dots are on top of eachother. But its going to be a close one!
T/U- I win
T/D- They win
What’s everyone planning to do with O’Meara and/or B.Goodes? There’s always always the option of bringing in someone like JPK, Swanny, or Jobe in exchange for a precious trade. But these rookies can also provide decent scores.
TU – Upgrade to premiums at some point
TD – They’ve earned a permanent spot on the team
Good work Boomer on ya 350th! A respectable 137. 😉
I having a nightmare week.
Hanley,Moloney, Watson, Goddard, Johnson, Buddy YUCKK.
SItting on a terrible 1523 with 6 to go.
and being killed in my league as well. Would be looking forward to a new week..but its byes next week. 🙁
has jager maxed out??
