Couch upgraded, but
a: will he be picked, and
b: if he is, will he be the sub?
Caught in a bit of a pickle.. I have Cox & Kruzer as my current rucks, and Giles on the pine at R3.. Quick poll please guys:
Use Giles at R2, get rid of Kruzer and upgrade Pfiefer to a premium (thumbs up)
or
Keep my rucks as they are and use Giles as D3 (thumbs down)
Dont forget when structuring your side Clifton is out for 6 weeks due to a fractured wrist.

Am thinking of ditching young Smedts as I’m not sold on his JS. Maybe bring in Saad, what do you think?
What happened to the foxtel Supercoach show starting tonight? Or is it next week.
The more I change my team the more I think with a 1-3 ruck strategy ur better off going with 5 premiums in the mid 4 forward and 3 back if you want lake, am I wrong?
However I don’t really rate the fwd rookies…Arghhhh
Leo I’ve been with that structure for the last month but now I’m pondering!! Must be last minute nerves lol
They way my team is set up, I’m gonna have to have 5 premiums in the mid or fwd what u guys think?
How about a show of hands?
Up- mid
Down-fwd
Hey Guys
With round 1 only a few days away, and after 2 months of research here’s my final team, made a few change since i last posted it. this is my rookie season so any help and advice would be great. Gone all out in the mids coz that where big points are and I think my rookie selections in the other positions aren’t bad so I don’t think it’s a big issue having to many premiums in one position. Help, comments, ratings advice would all be great 🙂
Thumbs up: Good team benno
Thumbs down: Needs a few tweaks (please comment any thoughts 🙂 )
Comments and feedback would be great
Cheers guys, and good luck for the season
Backs:
Goddard, Deledio, Broughton, Lake, Clark, Ellis, Bugg
(Morris, Smedts)
Midfield:
Pendlebury, Ablett, Swan, Murphy, Boyd, Shiel
(Ledger, Magner)
Rucks:
Mumford, Redden
(Giles, Stephenson)
Forwards:
Franklin, Goodes, Fyfe, Dangerfield, D.Smith, Cameron, A.Kennedy
(Pfeiffer, Dickson)
I just sold Kruezer and bought Campbell (bulldogs) so that Cox, Giles & Big O can share the ruck. This allowed me to trade up Fyfe to Pendles and Kelly to Selwood. I still have some cash to spare. Do I-
Thumbs up – sell J Brennan and buy Jobe Watson
Thumbs down – hope like hell Brennan is as good as I reckon he is.
Alrighty then.
THUMBS UP: D. HALE and A. CHRISTENSEN
THUMBS DOWN: Prem mid and rookie ruck(Stephenson)
Also, do we have to lock in our 30 by tomorrow night? Or only Carlton and Richmond players?
Cheers
-Big Molly
Edit. FYI This is my team so far.
GODDARD, DELEDIO, SHAW, LAKE, GOLBY, GUTHRIE, ELLIS (CLARKE, BUGG)
PENDLEBURY, ABLETT, FYFE, PARKER, KENNEDY, SHIEL (MCDONALD, MAGNER)
COX, HALE (GILES, REDDEN)
FRANKLIN, GOODES, MARTIN, DANGERFIELD, CHRISTENSEN, PORPLYZIA, SMITH, (SMEDTS, DICKSON)
Only room for one so who should start on the field?
Thumbs up- Morris
Thumbs down- Ellis
Pretty solid mate, I’m personally not sold on smedts, but u can’t judge him on Nab when half his team didn’t care.
Probably one short in defence with both lake and Clarke,
swan is risky in my opinion, if he is really going to Arizona again, which will mean it will be 1-2 weeks before the bye so you will be without a premium mid for 2-3weeks.
everyone has Big hopes for dangerfield again this season with the good early draw and mid time, hope he doesn’t let us down.
Good luck.

Catta cheers, I’m all over the place, with teams coming out I thought it was Thursday Haha
Just lock it already!!
Going to take a leap of faith this year and a point of difference in the rucks with Hale and Macintosh and have Giles and Redden as back ups. Not convinced that an elite ruck and a rookie as the starting line is the way to go at the moment – what does everybody else think?
If you had to choose one?
Smedts
Yagmoor
Bower
Wilkes
Boumann
??????
Xavier u know the line-ups have already been posted yeah?
get rid of smedts for morris?
not sold on their js and worried that smedts might get the vest
It’s hard (that’s what she said) if morris doesn’t perform Webberly is waiting to come in. Bower has best JS for next 4 weeks I’d say but not a fan….yet
Hey there guys have a couple of slots to fill my my league side code is 365612
also what do you think of mitch golby is he going to score alright?
New to the site, great to read everyones opinions.
Wanted to see what everyone thought about Pendles, obviously he is a gun but it seems that some people are avoiding him due to his price, his avg last year was 130. Am i right in saying that he would need to exceed that avg for his price to rise, if thats the case then if he doesnt reach or exceed that score then his price will drop.
option 1: choose someone else (boyd, mitchell, selwood ect) and pick pendles later down the track assuming his price would of dropped.
options 2: just pick him coz his a gun and he will prob hold his price or not fluctuate too much.
keen to hear some thoughts, cheers.
umm and arr, umm and arr….tinker tinker tinker….i think i have found it! my final team…tell me what you think ladies and gentlemen
the rizz

Just because this is where the conversation is – let’s face it, there’s too much content in this site nowadays to stop and look back so – here’s Omen’s last soapbox re the ruck strategy…
You can’t win SuperCoach in the first round, but you can be put on the back foot if something goes seriously wrong early (e.g Mc Donald v Parker).
In a nutshell, no body knows which of the ruck strategies will lead to greater success. If you’re in the 103 camp and one of the rookies goes down this/next weekend you’ll probably start thinking something like “OMFG I’m screwed”. If the premium rucks then start smashing out big scores they’ll start to move out of range for your later upgrade.
If you’re in the 202 camp and something goes bang early, you have plenty of cash to go in any direction you need to. If 103 goes well up to Rd 3 (price rise time) you can always jump across, downgrade the premium, upgrade elsewhere (to the best performing MID/FWD/DEF). You have all the options open.
Thumbs Up – Cox/Mumford/Giles/Redden
Thumbs Down – That didn’t make any sense to me Omen.
Thumbs up- T.Ledger
Thumbs down- C.Smith
Are all other teams named tomorrow or at least squads.
I’m holding on for grim death to the 1-0-3 rucks but am really getting shaky with potential for Redden to not even get a gig RD1.
Thumbs up- Hargrave
Thumbs Down- Conca
When do the teams for sunday matches come out?
I don’t know if I should put pffiefer on the field or on the bench because It will be lockout whent the port team gets named
Thumbs up – Lake, Pendlebury
Thumbs down – Heppell, Watson
I’ve started with 5 premium mids and forwards and rolled the dice on my defense!!! If it pays off you will all bow to me!!!! Lol
What are the chance of pffiefer getting named and wingard getting named and also magner
Morris or Bower, Morris looks a bit better but with webberley and conca playing similar roles not sure about his JS, compared to that of Bowers who will probably play quite alot this year.
Thumbs up: Morris
Thumbs down: Bower
Thanks guys, this year more than last I can’t make a bl00dy decision, pressure is on to back up last seasons performance.
Dont mean to be a smart a@se, because I am big fan of the site and the usual contributers but
Thumbs up – stop posting your side – if you dont know by now..too late
Thumbs down – of course keep asking, 3 months of research and we still want to assist.
Thumbs up magner
Rhumbs down neale
Btw when is neale coming back from injury
Anyone taking a punt on Neale?
Clutching at straws with my fifth backline rookie spot.
Already have Ellis, Morris, Bugg, Smedts.
Yagmoor anyone? Played all pre-season games. Just wish I could find the coin to afford Marty Clarke. It’s killing me!
What about S Gibson from Nth Melbourne? He was smashing it pre season. Will he get a game?
Thoughts on neale?
Cheers
F9?
Dickson – Up
Hall – Down
Saad – Comment
Who is the better option:
Hall – Up
Dickson – Down
Couch in comments
Need some help can’t decide between:
Burgoyne and sidebottom, Thumbs up!
Lake and Pavlich, Thumbs down!
Ok quick question…
If the Blues/Tigers game is on tomorrow why is the lockout on Friday night?
I’m certain we’d need to have our Tigers and Blues players locked away by tomorrow but there isn’t anything clear on the matter.
cley smith – up
s kerridge – down??
So what do you guys think, Sam Jocobs or Matt Krezeur? Jacobs will be the sole ruck and with Adelaide on the up Jacobs could be looking at some big scores. Good cheap premium option. Then there is Krezeur who is almost 100k cheaper and will not get as many hitouts as Jacobs but will get more possies and goals. When in form he will pump ot big scores. Its the one selection that is really annoying me. Also Dangerfield and save some dosh or Cloke or some other forward in between Dangerfield and Clokes price range?
I’m nearly decided on my team. It’s only taken me 341 different versions, but I would appreciate some assistance with the final piece of the puzzle.
My current team is:
God, Lids, Brought, ??, ??, Ellis, Bugg. (Boumann, Wilkes)
Pendles, GAJ, Jobe, C.Smith, JMac, Shiel. (Magner, Ledger)
Cox, Mummy. (Giles, Redden)
Buddy, Fyfe, Goodes, Martin, ??, D.Smith, Kennedy. (Dickson, Cameron)
Rookies/Bench subject to change depending on teams
Thumbs up: Dempsey, Howard, T.Cloke
Thumbs down: Heppell, Clarke, Sidebottom
Comment: Other combo that is so good I’d be an idiot to ignore.
Thanks once again everyone and Good luck.
thumbs up – ledger
thumbs down – neale
cheers
howdy all,
Currently have Couch in the team and only have $4k in the bank. Any demons out there that can enlighten us on his Job Security?
If it doesnt look good, there arent really any other options in that price range so would have to change a few other bits and pieces around.
I keep getting twitchy and looking at my team assuming i must make last minute changes. I then keep feeling a sense of calmness, that i am happy with my structure and my selections.
Only umming and ahhing about:
D9 – happy with Clarke, Ellis and Bugg. Also have Guthrie but thinking about maybe Morris or Smedts.
F8 and F9 – locked into Smith and Kennedy. Currently have Saad and Sexton but really not feeling it with these two.
I have Pfeiffer at M8 and whilst it’s tempting to move him to the fwd line it would remove my mid/fwd link.
Hmmmm ……
Does anyone know if these 4 players have been elevated yet.
Couch,Neale,Gibson,Spur
Morris or Smedts? Thumbs up/down
I have Ledger, C. Smith, hall, Dickson and couch on the radar but not yet locked. How would you order these guys in terms of JS? I am thinking:
Ledger
Hall
C. Smith
Dickson
Couch
Dilema, D6
Thumbs up Lake
Thumbs down Golby
Or D6
Thumbs up one of the above
Thumbs down rookie & 200k in bank
Pfeiffer Thumbs up
Dickson Thumbs Down any other options such as pfeiffer, hall couch etc comment please guys
Hall
Kerridge
Krozier
Couch
Which one will play, Any help would be good
Assuming all are playing
Hall and Kerridge (&DPP) – Thumbs up
Couch and Ledger ( no DPP) – Thumbs down
everybody on this site is so sold on Lachie Neale. i havent seen much from him that would make me consider him for my sc team. Granted he played well in freo’s first nab cup game against an understrength bombers outfit that dont travel very well anyway, then he kinda went missing in the game against the eagles. am i missing something?
Lake or Hargrave?
Lake Thumbs Up
Hargrave Thumbs Down
anyone know if spurr from freo is off rookie list?
Hey SCT coaches,
Quick mid 6 poll, if both selected.
Thumbs up…………Ledger
Thumbs down……..Magner
Cheers
Mitch Robinson anyone?
Thumbs up: Lake (WBD, DEF), Hargrave (WBD, DEF), Swan (COL, MID)
Thumbs down: Broughton (FRE, DEF), Clarke (COL, DEF), Chapman (GEE, MID)
Current defenders are 5xx, 5xx, 5xx, 4xx, ?, ?, 1xx, 1xx, 1xx
Current mids are 7xx, 6xx, 6xx, 6xx, ?, 1xx, 1xx, 1xx
I have no FWD/MID link, since I have 7 FWDs who are MID eligible but none of the reverse. Chapman would change that.
Huge thanks in advance. This is my first year and this choice is doing my head in.
D9?
Smedts – UP
Wilkes – DOWN
Everyone pitch in here, last minute (ish) decision. Have got the 1-0-3 ruck setup going, and have a few jitters about it. Reddens JS when Lobbe comes back, Orrens scoring capabilities and Giles shared time with Brogan. If i brought in Hale in the FWDS, i would be minimising risk, and picking up a backup plan, with the new trading rules, i could put Hale into rucks and sideways one of the struggling ruck rookies to a forward rookie. So here goes.
Thumbs up- Hale and Clarke
Thumbs down- Porplyzia and Lake
cheers guys,
I hate it when…
… you reply to a comment just before they delete it..
Ledger & Couch have shot to the forefront…. Ledger I can see but Couch I’m not sold on. Has anyone seen him play? Will he string 3+ games together?
I have tentatively taken Ledger for Kerridge & Dropped Smedts for Couch.
Good move???
Need 1 more rookie def
got morris,bugg,lake,ellis
any ideas?
murphy + 63,900 thumbs up
pendel + 3,300 thumbs down
Thumbs Up – It won’t get any better than this. Lock it in now and get back to work.
Thumbs Down – Spend the rest of the afternoon going round in circles on the rookie options.
Thumbs up – Clarke
Thumbs down – Morris
What’s the go with Smith from the Doggies????
Article in todays HS on him. Playing round 1, Pick 17 head over the ball type player…Is he any good??/Anyone know???
code for anyone who wants another league:
212560
cheers
Final rookies (pending Rd 1 team selection)
DEF: Clarke, Ellis, Bugg, Smedts, Morris
MID: Coniglio, Shiel, Magner, Ledger, Kerridge M/F
RUC: Giles, Redden
FWD: Porplyzia, D Smith, Pfeiffer, Kennedy, Dickson
I have 7 DPP’s in my fwd line and only 1 in mids…
Does anyone know what the go is with byes this year? Are DPP’s as important?
smedts clarke???
any other cheap deffenders already got morris,ellis,lake,bugg
Thumbs up – Dal Santo
Thumbs down – Pendlebury
Looking to save some cash somewhere and considering going stright to the top…
Another rookie poll
Thumbs up – Morris
Thumbs down – Boumann
Wondering whether to keep Couch or dump him. If he goes, I’ll grab Paine, and, one of either Ledger or Morris has to be d/g to someone who is at least 10k cheaper.
Any thoughts, or, better still, answers shall be gratefully appreciated. 🙂
D6 Ellis or Morris to start?
Thumbs Up – Ellis
Thumbs Down – Morris
Hey SCT coaches, need help please!,
Thumbs Up – B.Goddard and D.Pfeiffer + $273,600
Thumbs Down – G.Birchall and P.Dangerfield + $40,000
Cheers 🙂
thumbs up – pfeiffer
thumbs down – saad
OK so I expressed my man love for Luke Parker by picking him in my supercoach team along with Old man McDonald and starting both on field. You can imagine my horror & disgust as McDonald went on and busted poor Luke’s jaw. First game, first quarter, first 2012 supecoach disaster. McDonald out for 2 & Parker for maybe 3. 5 weeks wiped in one seccond of madness by a former respected match review panellist!
So what do I do? sit tight & take my medicine and wait for both to return hoping Shiel can give me coverage. Or do I wait this week and find a good rookie downgrade. Or do I panic trade now in blind hope of recovering the situation.
Whats up guys! Was wondering if anybody knew the word on S Gibson from Nth Melbourne? The ex-box hill hawks captain has been tearing it up. Has he been upgraded?
Fellas, got a dilemma for my last 2 spots.
Got about $900K to spend
Mzungu & Robinson – Thumbs Up
Selwood & Porplyzia – Thumbs Down
anyone know C Howard from Dogs playing this week? and also Boyd or franklin, which one think for capt?
Is anybody picking Hodge in their side? I know not being a DEF/MID selection has swayed alot of people but he is looking like a good option for the price. Not to mention that most the big MID guns are not DPP anyway… Comments?
I dunno bout you guys but I can’t wait for final lockout! I just keep changing my team, then changing back!
hey guys, quick question before lockout:
I have Hale in my forward line and Mumford, Giles, Stephenson and Redden in my rucks. Should i trade Stephenson for Rowe purely for the app switch, or should i just use the new trading rules to my advantage:
Thumbs up- Keep the rucks
Thumbs down- Put Rowe in to swap around with Hale if rookies are in bad form or not playing.
What time do teams get announced tonight?
Cutting Marc Murphy for Jobe Watson to squeeze in Marty Clarke. Good call?
Whats everyones thoughts on Scotty Thompson this year?
Last year was so dominant, but now with Sloane & Dangerfield stepping up, do you think he will get as much of the ball as last year?
Good luck to one and all.
Let’s hope we get someone from the site winning the $50K, another winning the car and another 23 winning each of the $1K weekly prizes.
Personally i want a top 1,000, would love to snare $1K and hope that LoEC comes top 10 of all leagues. Oh, and North to make the finals too!!
If you guys had to choose 3 of the following who would they be?
M Pavlich, P Chapman, T Cloke, D Marin, D Petrie, M Robinson?
