Now first of all, let me just say a big thank you to everyone who has voted so far on this team. I think its a belter and anyone who’s using it to compete in a “normal” league is going to be scaring the bejesus out of whoever they’re facing in Round 1.
Secondly, the suggestion was made that we re-visit the rookies in the SCTTL team prior to the first round lockout which to me makes a bit of sense. So regardless of the outcome of this poll, please don’t lock your teams in just yet. Leave at least one spot on your field free before you save them so I can see that they’re not completed.
In the week before final lockout I’ll post the final SCTTL team. Hold off on completing your team ’til then.
OK, now I’ve seen the result of today’s poll saying that we should leave between $0 and $10k in the bank and I thank everyone who voted but with $574,100 available to spend on the M4 that left us with only three options – Pav, Scotto and Wellsy – so I’ve taken Website Owners Prerogative and provided the following list of players to choose from.
After all, what’s the point of having your own website if you can’t have a little fun with it once in a while, eh?
One spot left on the team, one vote. Hit it.

That’s alright mate. You don’t need to hide behind the SCT public. It is clear to me that you have a massive grudge against anything Essendon and seeing as you run the site you can abuse that power in any way you wish..

Oh, is that what you meant.
As far as I know, Channel 7 have monopolised the announcement of teams this year meaning they and they alone will be responsible for the naming of teams. I believe that during the regular season this will take place on Friday evenings at 5pm (feel free to write to them and complain – it shits us to tears too). I’m not sure when they intend on announcing the R1 teams given its a split round so I’ve left it open as “the final week”.
Given the first match of R1 takes place on Sat Mar 24. How about we poll the rookies for the last time that week and announce the final team on Thursday Mar 22?
Thumbs up – yes
Thumbs down – I’d prefer to know the final teams

so pissed off with that- I work until 7. Going to have to take a SC tea break at 5:30 to fix my team then. Luckily the boss understands as he will be wanting to do the same to his side. I’m lucky my new boss loves SC just as much as the old one, hehe.

Jack Redden. He has is bye in round 11, which is rare for a premium and great for us (going for overall that is, as everyone else in the league will be in the same boat). He will also almost certainly raise his avg quite significantly in 2012 too.
I resisted the SCTTL thing for so long, just thinking the stress of having one team is enough for the year, but eventually bitthe bullet and jumped on board Deano’s league the other night. Now I really wanna see this team do well!!!

I think Pavlich more for his DPP status which is something we haven’t considered, if it ends with Bartel we don’t have any options to play around with the likes of Fyfe and Martin in our forward line.

M4 a waste for a good DPP they should be in your Forward or Backlines if a MId as well they will beat 90% of the forward and back players only.
Which makes things interesting go for Bartel few retirees in the cats he will do more this year.

One question for all the knowledgeable SC players here the Draw:
Nth play GWS or GCS 3 times before round 12. Doggies play both before Round 8 I think Essendon also have both sometime before Round 10 What is the thought process of putting players like Swallow Harvey Higgins Boyd Zakarhis (not sure how to spell that) in then after Round 13 taking them out Also the two super rounds Round 10 Geelong Collingwood have GWS and GCS Round 15 Collingwood Hawthorn play them??
Questions Questions Questions.

I like the strategic thinking Hawker, looking ahead at match ups throughout the year shows some real SC commitment.
However, this approach also presents some potential risks. What happens if they decide to rest key players for these ‘easy’ games in favour of blooding more rookie talent?

Crows play both GWS and GC in rounds 1 and 4. Something to think about if you want to make quick cash out of some crows like Dangerfield, Sloane, etc.
Was tempted to put Swallow in my team, but unsure how he’ll adapt to the captains role at the Roos.

Time to lock in M. Pavlich?
At 573,000 that leaves enough money to take your friend to the movies and buy and ice-cream afterwards. That honours the people’s choice $0-10K left in the kitty. Also provides a DPP option to add flexibility in MID/FWD.
Going once… twice…

Hey Omen a little of a worry but they are all early rounds so teams especially these ones will want to guarantee points They are on the cusp of the 8 Really favoured Swallow in my Midfield after seeing the draw. Hawks have a tough early 5 weeks think Pies Cats and West Coast are 3 of these they play. Cannot believe I am saying this but maybe only maybe I put Buddy in after this, however tight games give better SC points if you play well and Buddy you can guarantee will kick a few
Anyway Pav you can always move down forward later swap for a good cheapie gone up to midfield and trade in a Prem Mid you will not loose a trade so can still work

Guys just had a quick look at the team one player not sure why he did not get a rating especially for the cash Dangerfield, Adelaide will play him midfield, he is definitely due. Well worth the risk me thinks. He can kick goals??? 33 touches on his last outing in the midfield.

In the interest of remaining above suspision of any wrong doing as per the rules of Supercoach as stated below by RB we, the peeps of SCT, should refrain from the use of “…” when describing the teams from our wifes, missuses, brothers, friends cat, mothers goat, etc, as it may, in the eyes of the authorities, bring their unwanted attention upon the team in question and thereby bring about the uncomfortable situation of your mother’s goat having to recite “their” team from the beginning and recount some of the recent trades. I’m thinking that Baaaaaa won’t quite cut it.

Not having a SCTTL team for two reasons:
1) Primarily cause it’s time consuming enough having one SC team that i think i’d have to take a few days off each week if i were to try and manage two teams.
2) Call me a prude, call me a stickler but i’d hate for one of the SCTalk readers (or myself) to win the 50K, the car, or the weekly 1K and then be caught out for having multiple entries. I know you can use different email addresses etc…
Just thought i’d air my thoughts on this matter. I love the concept though. Really think it’s a great idea.

C’mon RB. You cannot get caught as long as you word the missus up about it if it happens. Just get her to memorize the players in the team when the HS comes a callin’.

if you were to meet my g/f you’d know there’s NOOOOOOO WAY she could pull of the sort of plan you are talking about. None at all.
Plus there’s also the fact that the league is called SCTTL, this website is spruiking these identikit leagues, people are saying that they;ve joined them, people are saying they are placing ‘missus’ teams ….. now i know the HS isn’t a thinking person’s newspaper like the big paper is but i’m sure they could sniff out these clues relatively easily. To use a much overused phrase, just sayin’.

2 things..
1) You may have to reconsider upgrading to a g/f that can pull it off
and
2) is there an actual rule that says that you can’t run another team in another address? If there is then I haven’t seen it. If the HS says that it is not really in the spirit of the competition then tell them to stop charging us for every little bit of info and stat and we will stop.

Dear Herald Sun.
I would hereby like to clarify my statements of “my missus” or “my missuses team”
She (my missus) is an avid follower and reader of the Herald Sun and all of the contents therein. She (my missus) is also a 3 year player of the Supercoach competition. She (my missus) is not a regular visitor to this site and usually leaves all form of communication to myself as she (my missus) is busy working out her next Supercoach move. While she (I will not refer to her as my missus anymore as I am sure you get the point now) sometimes listen to the “advice” that I give her she is of her own free mind to do to her team as she pleases. I would welcome any opportunity for you or your authorities to query her 3 year affiliation with Supercoach if we…err she, happens to win the weekly prize, the car or the $50,000 first prize. All I ask is that you give…her a couple of days notice to present herself to you as she is very fastidious in her appearance to others.
Thank you
