Huge ramifications for a game so early in the season. If Richmond win, then the Pies are 0-2 with a tough draw ahead. If you have the teams in the comments section before Chaos Theory, then odds are you’re working at AFL House……….

“If Richmond win, then the Pies are 0-2 with a tough draw ahead.”
Don’t say that like it’s a bad thing… 😉
If the tigers can win after losing 2 top defenders I’ll buy the drinks…….

When Nank spanks the Grundy and gives the Tigres midfield the advantage…….
Sunday 9pm finish and we’re talking teams at 5:30pm Wednesday. Hmmm… might be some people’s cup of tea but this 24/7 footy cycle is getting a bit much. Thursday night games nah and Sunday night games nah.
Just wait til the ANZAC day week Roo Bloke! There’ll be a meltdown, there’s that much footy on!
I’d love it if I didn’t player SuperCoach.
you never know mate , there was 350,000 coaches in classic when i started playing , now i think its about 180,000 , drops every year
The rolling lockout really makes it hard for the casual player. SC becomes a whole weekend committment which a lot dont have the time for. Part of me likes it as it helps avoid late outs, but a larger part of me wishes I didn’t have to check final teams before every match to be competitive. I would change the rolling lockout to only be active for all of round 1 and on Thursday night games before full teams are out for the rest of the year.
yeah Uncle – this is something I have been saying for a number of years now … really not a fan of rolling lockout … lock teams in at first game … everyone in same boat and people get to have a weekend life as well …
Never going to happen though … you would need clubs to be truthful in their lineups and you would also see that DT won’t get as many people hopping on their site and loss of revenues from advertising etc …
Spot on Macca advertising traffic is the big reason they wont change it back. As far as late outs go, I think having strong emergency cover is part of the game. AFL teams have to deal with replacing late outs (often unplanned) with emergencies why should SC be any different.
Not only was I on a plane last Thursday with team announcements, I’ll miss all teams AND the bouncedown tomorrow again due to flying!
Netball usually gets in the way on Thursday and I can’t watch most of the game. Safe to say I’m not the biggest fan as I love to watch footy.

No will change handle

Unable to as it says there is already an account with the same username.

and don’t forget me RB … sitting in Brisvegas and having to put up with effing daylight savings too!!
Houli out with a hammy.
Rookie carnage Balta dropped.
I wish he’d been dropped last week!
Relton Roberts of 2019, Noah Balta.
And we cant even use him as a loophole.
Bit early to make that call yet
Dusty is going to get tagged by Greenwood.
Hope Dusty sits in the goal square the whole night, lets see how good Greenwood is then 😉
Points , $$$$$ n trades
Simple formulea…….
If he sits in the goal square then Howe will stand him, I’d back Howe in and I think they’d both barely see the ball.
So should you replace Balta this week if you haven’t got Parker?
Given that other corrections may be required next week for rookies you haven’t got eg Wilkie or mid price punts that didn’t pay off.
Need to generate cash, not sure it’s ideal to have anymore than 1 non playing rookie (ruckman loophole) at this time of year.
Just wait a week, prices don’t change untill the opening of R3. Unless you’re covering a doughnut.
I believe that is called the Josh Glenn rule!
Oh yeah, who could forget Ol’ Gibbo falling in the shower and had to be a late out.
Omg Glenn! i got him in that week
If Parker comes out and scores 30 this week, his BE won’t be very high and the 87 will only be in 1 price change.
IF you need to do it, go for it, but might not be as urgent as you think it is.
Thoughts on Grundy as v/c this week.
T/U Good option will bounce back
T/D Matt Crouch a better option for v/c
Yeah after the JLT and round one form….. He is a lock!!!
Just putting this out there……Supercoach aside….. Dropping Balta is a dick move by Hardwick. Obviously the kid had a great Pre-Season and earned a spot for Rd1. Now he gets dropped even though we have two key players injured? Balta had a bit of trouble adjusting to the tempo but how will that improve if he gets dropped after one game?
Agree Schwarz, when houli was out as well i thought balta was almost certain to hold his spot.
I hear you brother, I feel for the kid. Was only given 52% TOG , worse Grigg and Caddy are not even back yet. What chance does he have to fight for the best 22?
He may have not followed instructions and needs a reality check! Might be back next week and play all year….?!
This is not the Adam that provides the Elite Numbers and Captaincy Projections article.
Is this the Adam from Adam and Eve tho ❓
Totally agree! So who provides the chopout for Nank in the ruck? Surely Hardwick doesn’t play Lynch in there coming off his PCL injury? McIntosh to pinch hit?
It’s weird, the tigers assistant coach said Lynch will only contest around the ground.
But hardwick went onto say you’re playing ruck if you play.(I’m guessing he means when fit enough to do so?)
Two things:
does lynch ruck around the ground and somebody takes the centre bounces?
Is Lynch fit enough to do so given in the second half he spent alot of time on the bench.
The tigers three ins are all strong runners… guessing they’re going to try and run the pies into the ground.
On a supercoach front, I’m keeping balta in my team. I think he’ll be back.
So i don’t have bailey scott and i could move drew forward for balta and pick up scott . Then i would be using a trade to pick up a rookie who might not reproduce this week
Think i have just convinced myself to wait another week.
However as jeanott just pointed out , grigg and caddy to come back , balta will enjoy a good season in vfl i think.
You lucky bahsty to have only 1 problem to fix

What other problems are there after round 1?
Please don’t trade! I’m fixing my team and need to catch up. …… your team is perfect!
Best VC this week
