Interesting question from a mate of mine who had this query:-

Thumbs UP: Play Tippet with Cloke as E

Thumbs DOWN: Play Cloke with Tippet as E

I said Tippet v Gold Coast’s undermanned ruck & defence, but wonder what the SCT & in particular pies & bombers fans think.

Can’t wait for the Grand Finals this week. Pitted against my best mate in one and my boss in the other. Good luck to everyone who is still in the comp!

I know the season isn’t quite over yet, but I’d like to give a big thumbs up to Motts, Duck, BS and Nate for all their hard work. This has been a great season and it would not have been possible without all of the long hours put into this site.

A big thanks also goes out to all the friendly posters that make up the SCT community. The advice you guys give is priceless, and the banter around here is what makes this such a wonderful site.

Cheers for a great season!

The one year I keep trades left for the grand final thinking that somebody will get rested, nothing….
Any chance that trades roll over to next season? :P

Same here! I’m thinking of getting rid of Pav or Chapman but only have 1 trade and $13k. Decisions, decisions!

Pav has more value & is also more unlikely not to play (or play injured). You could go Pav to almost anyone including Buddy & potentially Beams or Danger if you have a little bit of cash.

Agreed – much better off with the inclusion of that Collingwood reject (Jack Anthony) up forward and that St Kilda reject (can’t bring myself to type his name) down back.

’cause there’s no point aggrevating them against GWS. Smart in my opinion. Means they’ll be cherry ripe for North’s elimination final.

INSIDE WORD: I heard it’s due to them hosting an intervention for B.Harvey… the playing group feel they just can’t have that sort of hiddious WAG around the club any longer if they’re going to be successful.

Whilst tippet could easily get 100+ against the suns, he isn’t really the crows first foward anymore, walker is. Having been in and out with concussion lately he could easily be subbed out or just struggle to see the ball much. Goodes maybe out of form but you can still gaurantee 80 from him and the swans will be trying to get him going before finals. IMO

Tippett’s 129 last week kills that argument and with 300 inside 50s coming this week both him and Walker will ton up.

I think Griffen in is suspicious. The conservative approach would be Jacobs, or upgrade Pav if you think there is a chance he may be rested.

Hi all,
I have two trades, but with only $2k in the bank everything is looking very sideways with no obvious upside.
I’m happy with backs and mids.
Rucks -
Kreuzer, Giles (Campbell, Stephenson)
Forwards -
Danger, Chapman, Harvey, Lewis, Zorko, StevieJ, Goodes (Cloke,Treloar)

THUMBS UP
Giles –> Jacobs
Kreuzer –> Sandi

THUMBS DOWN
Treloar –> someone cheap for cash
Cloke –> Beams (pushing Goodes to the bench)

Thanks
Good luck to all who have a shot at SC glory

With Griffin named for the dorkers, coaches looking to trade in Sandi have to realize they are taking on FURL..

Greedy August 31, 2012 at 9:57 am

Agreed Pump, FURL and the talk of new foot troubles for Sandi is the new concern. I could still go for Jacobs, but then I am stumped as to what to do with the last trade (Goldstein would have looked good before last week).

To be honest I am leaning toward the Beams option, transferring more cash on to the field.

Thanks Wheels, not a bad idea.
I’m hesitant to put Tippett on the field instead of any of my other forwards; although he’ll probably smash it now I’ve said that.
Assuming he stays on the bench though the question that your scenario rises (compared to my original one) is..

… which is likely to glean the greater points uplift ???

THUMBS UP
Goodes to Beams

THUMBS DOWN
Kreuzer to Jacobs

One question and one question only, if you have Robbo do you play him this week? His recent form has been poor. Very keen to hear from the number 1 ticket holder down there, Mr Motts.

Motts August 31, 2012 at 11:30 am

I’ve had to choose between Treloar and Robbo. Here’s my thinking: Robbo is a player that thrives on emotion and this is one hell of an emotional match. He’s rested as well and knows that he won’t be playing next week.

Result: Robbo gets the gig.

SuperCoach Talk League of Extraordinary Coaches (SCT LoEC) Grand Final Preview

Roo Bloke vs Andy

Defence
Scotland & Waters vs Johnson & Newman
101.2 & 99.83 vs 87.52 & 77.71
Clear advantage my way on the averages but Freo and Richmond both have easy games. This may assist in scoring or conversely the ball may never make it near them and curtail their scoring efforts. We both have the Lake o S Shaw D7 dilemma.
Winner – me

Midfield
Tuck & Swallow vs Thompson & Dal Santo
115.1 & 110.9 vs 110.1 & 102.8
Another win for me on the averages but i fear Thompson and his love of bashing up weaker sides plus he’s been out of form and wil lbe looking for some touches leading into the finals. Tuck and Swallow should both go large in easy games with their ruckmen likely to feed them many clearances. We both have Ablett as a likely and obvious captain
Winner – me (just)

Rucks
Maric & Mumford vs Cox & Naitanui
Maric and Mumford are both up against weak ruck divisions at Port and Geelong but Cox is Cox and Nic Nat is Nic Nat and this could be where Andy claws back the losses from the other two lines.
Winner – Andy

Forwards
Dangerfield, Franklin, Roughead & Johnson vs Zorko, Hale, Goodes & Cloke (or T Adams)
Plenty of PODs here. Dangerfield and Zorko almost cancel themselves out Zorko is that good. I had Zorko but traded him out a few weeks back for Stevie J and i hope this is the week where that move works (cause at the moment it’s just causing regret). Roughead and Hale are on par(ish). Which leaves Stevie J vs Goodes and Buddy vs Cloke or Adams.
Winner – should be me but could be level if the Stevie J show is a fizzer.

OVERALL
Think i’m in the box seat but Andy isn’t without hope. A lot comes down to how well the WC ruckmen play tonight. If they fire it should be a close battle.

Tipping me by 100.
