Back into the thick of league competition this week. Hawks have the bye, Ablett questionable, plenty of players not pulling their weight… Who are you thinking of trading out and in?

  1. Ratten out and I am a swans man. Worst coach I have witnessed. Bower in the forward line and Henderson on Barry?? Wow. As I am the supercoach of my team, Jack R is on the block with question mark also on Rawlings

  2. This weekend is gonna hurt. Have a few hawks players, Suckling, Hodge, Franklin and Smith. And with GAJ out as well, thats a lot of holes i have to fill! Will keep GAJ if its only a few weeks. But not sure what ill do if he’s out more than 4….

    JROO has to go but not sure if it will be this week.

  3. Fair job on J Roo? That’s the most goals he has kick in about 12 rounds surely? He pretty much kicked tigers score while being out of form. I’m just shitty because I have tickets this week. Wanted a bigger build up. I also think hampson is better ruck option because he can mark in the fwd line. I just don’t get ratten at all. Bower in the fwd line is crazy.

  4. No matter how long ablett is out for, I’m not trading him. Even if it’s 4 weeks, I’d rather them be cautious and him be fully fit for our finals, than him try to get back too soon and re injure himself.

    Mind you if it’s anymore than 6 he’s gone!
    Looks like only a few, but we will have to wait and see!

    Oh and no trades for me this week.

  5. I’m very happy to welcome back Joel Selwood back into my team this week (from off the bench). As they say in racing parlons he’ll be “champing at the bit” to rip out a huge score. I’m strongly considering making him captain this week. The hairs on the back of my neck are starting to stand up already!

  6. Trivia question: who was the last team to play Richmond and then not lose the next week they played?

  7. Who to bring into midfield?

    Current mid
    GAJ, Swan, Pend, S Thompson,Cotchin, Heppell, Krak (Mzungu, Smith, hibberd)

    Think of trading Krak for Priddis or Hodge

    Thumbs up Priddis
    Thumbs down Hodge

    Or welcome any other comments.

    Thanks

  8. ALERT!

    Gary Ablett tweet today.

    “Scans are good. Just showed some swelling … Nothing serious!”

    Next tweet says he will play “Hopefully this week”.

  9. GAJ just tweeted that he got the scans on his knee done and it only showed a bit of swelling with no structural damage. Said he should be right to play this week. Now, that’s what I’m talking about!!!

  11. Might regret it later but I’ve just traded Ablett for Swan,
    Even if Ablett is cleared, who is to say he will keep to his form?

    I’d rather get a solid score from here on out

  12. Just looking at players for next year..
    Ablett, Fyfe, Mzungu, Swan, Martin..
    Any others I should keep in my sights?

  13. Jiminy Jillickers! Bartel is at a never-to-be-seen-again price: $348k!! and Steven Jack at $366k looks to be good value as well as the Sainters pick up steam – and is Mid/Fwd DPP.

    If I only had more trades…

  14. No trades for me this week. Happy with my recruits from last week (Leon and Jolly) and it is time to sit tight on trading and watch the boys perform in the run home.

  15. Fellow Supercoaches, Keep up the good work! Don’t give up hope yet as there are still plenty of games to fine tune your teams before Finals!

    As a fellow supercoacher, would love to know everyones thoughts…
    I play my best mate in Round 18 with $50 prize money up for grabs.

    I do however have a few issues…

    Team:
    B: Lids, Fisher, Gibbs, God, Enright, Harbrow, Stanley (Duigan, Puopolo, Jacobs)
    C: Murphy, Priddis, Ablett, Swan, Selwood, Heppell (Krak, Hibberd, Mzungu)
    R: Cox, Smith (Sandi, JTip)
    F: Pav, Goodes, Johnson, Sylvia, Jroo, Hurley, Rioli (Darling, Knights, Lynch (GC)

    The plan is to bring in Moran for Sandi, take the cash and hope to dear god that Smith & Cox can ruck the rest of the season with no injuries?
    Then I will have $500,000 to bring in O’Keefe for Knights, Fyfe for Rioli (if still injured), and the big one, Hodge for Hibberd.

    Hoping this will give me a good enough team to contest against him. I have 7 trades left, from which I will have 4 remaining for finals.

    Just wanted to know what peoples thoughts were and if you think I am heading down the right path? A fresh look on the team would be much appreciated.

    THUMBS UP: Trade Sandi > Moran, Knights > O’Keefe, Rioli > Fyfe & Hibberd > Hodge over next two weeks.
    THUMBS DOWN: There are better options dude!

  21. Can someone tell me how Jake Kings jumper punch on Monfries had less force than Lewis’ face pat also on Monfries? MRP for the tip.

  22. I know Blease got bugger all in his first game but he did come on late as the sub, so with 8 trades left I’m thinking:

    Isaac Smith > Blease
    D Swallow > Nick Dal Santo

    Will still have Mzungu and Jacobs as bench cover in the middle.

    0

  23. What’s everyone’s thoughts on Jonathan Brown? he is really cheap so I was just wondering will he finish off strongly?

    0

    0
  24. No more tradin for me till finals have enough to cover any 1-2 week injuries.

    Team ( at it’s best)

    B- H.Shaw, Goddard, Deledio, Enright, Gibbs, Duffield, Gilbert
    (Adcock, Otten, Howard)

    C- Swan, Ablett, Pendlebury, Hodge, Boyd, ROK
    (Cotchin, Jacobs, Callinan)

  25. I really need to improve my back line.

    Deledio, Newman, Shaw, +cock, Heppel, Duigan, Lower
    (Otten, Puopolo, Toy)

    I was thinking +cock>Fisher but i don’t have the cash.

    Can anyone think of a good player around the $350,000-$400,000 mark.

    Also who would you put on the field this week out of Otten and Lower.

    Thumbs UP Lower
    Thumbs DOWN Otten

  26. Would love some feedback

    Team this week:

    DEF: Deledio,Fisher,Goddard,Shaw,Johncock,Broughton,Hibberd
    (Birchall,Puopolo,Toy)

    MID: Pendlebury,Murphy,Boyd,Swan,Boak,Swallow(GC)

    6 trades left $186,000

    This week:
    Set myself up with enough cash for the rest of the season.Then upgrade

    Simon Buckley ——– > Rookie (will check out BS rookie review)
    Tom Lynch (GC) ———–> ROK

    Next week: Upgrade and leave 3 trades (which i don’t think is enough?) for injuries

    Travis Boak ———> Sam Mitchell

    Thumbs Up: Good plan 3 trades is enough for injuries
    Thumbs Down: Bad plan not enough trades left

  27. On another note, I reckon this week could be one of the closest captains polls of the year. Factor in GAJ’s injury, Pendles and Swanny playing a fired up Blues, Boyd and Priddis have been ok, most have jumped off Selwood (against Brissy this week) and Hodgey has a bye. Who’s your early pick?

  28. Since this year has been so stressful with the byes and all and i have just had a terrible week i have started to think about next year. I will write all my thoughts out to help others and myself: I will sort this out in sections.

    Discounted Premiums for 2012:

    Goddard-Will probably be discounted due to a offish season

    Jack- Will be discounted due to an injury bombed 2011 and is only going to improve

    Nick and Jack Reiwoldt- Nick has had a horror season so far and Jack has just a very long cold patch.

    Hayes- Hardly played this year and might be cheaper than he normally is

    Montagna- Up and Down season so far so will hopefully be back to his excellent best next year.

    Malceski- Injury savaged 2011 and hasnt been in great form so will defiantly be discounted next year.

    Adcock- Anyone going to dare to go near him again? I know i wont be

    Brown- We all know when he is at his best he is a scoring machine, but will he get back to his magnificent best?

    Mundy- Great start to year but got injured and will be discounted next
    year

    Brian Lake- Horror season could he get back to his best?

    Barlow- THE SC GOD! Next year he should hit his straps like 2010!

    Jobe Watson- Started the season on fire but i do not think he will finish of the season in that style.

    Sandi- Dont need to explain do I? 🙁

    Connors, Gilbert and Grimes

    The young guns who will improve in 2012:

    Pendlebury- Gun who will only improve in this great Collingwood side.

    Martin- Great second year and should only improve. But he might have peaked early? I am not sure.

    Fyfe- One word GUN! Needless to say more!

    Murphy- Great 2011 and might avoid hard tag that will go to Judd

    Gibbs- hopefully next year is the year which he wont tag and start playing a permanent Midfield role.

    Others would be Selwood, Griffen, Rioli, Hodge, thomas, Wells, Rockliff and Cotchin

    The previous guns who might have their numbers decline in 2012:
    Pavlich
    Boomer
    Chapman
    Corey
    O’keefe
    Goodes
    Didak
    Bolton

    AND NOW THE MUST HAVES!
    Ablett
    Swan
    Goddard
    Selwood

    and the players on the ‘never touch again list’
    ADCOCK, GRIMES AND HIGGINS
    Im sure lots will still pick em next year!

    I have probably missed some so feel free to add to the list. I hope you guys are not thinking about next year yet and i hope some of you are still a chance for the overall this year! Good luck and i hope this was a good read and gave you some insight to who to pick next year. I will personally go the durable guns and rookie strategy next year because im sick of my players getting injured!

    Cheers 🙂

    Milburn—–> Shaw/Broughton

    THUMBS UP: Good trades

  30. Serioulsy how can u already be thinking about supercoach next year? And what does everyone think of Robbie Gray then?

  31. okay well seeing as no one liked my trade options:P……… I have a heap of trades remaining and I really need to get rid of Darling and Milburn( bought him as a premium:P). This is my forward line:
    Fyfe, Goodes, Petrie, Nroo, Rioli, Darling, Mzungu, Richardson, McKernan and Skinner
    I know everyone would be saying get ROK but everyone in my league has him so I was thinking maybe someone else…….
    My defense is:
    Deledio

    0

    0
  32. Sorry bout that my defence is:
    Deledio, Suckling, Adcock, Heppell, Lower, Pederson, Jacobs, Milburn, Golby and McGovern. As you can see a very weak defence which is full of medium priced rookies who must be upgraded! So I’m starting with Milnurn but I want to stay away from Fisher and Goddard…..so who else?

  33. Next year I am avoiding key position forwards. They are too unpredictable, don’t pick up enough of the ball to cover them on a day when they don’t take bags of marks or kick bags of goals.
    I actually said that to myself last year also. How short my memory was.

    0

  34. I am reluctant to spend one of my 5 remaining trades on JRoo.

    If he is injured, I guess i’ll trade him, but if not, then surely getting rid of him is selling low and he can only have upside? It’s not like he’s a flash in the pan, Coleman medal is nothing to sneeze at.

    Having said that, I do have Rioli on the bench as well as a few underperformers.

    And maybe like his cousin his form is not only of his making but also a result of the press having changed the flow of the ball into the forward line.

  35. Long time reader, first time poster.

    Or comment for Hibberd

  36. Motts, looking back at your post a few weeks ago (I think it was you) asking about the differences between “league win” and “overall score” strategies, this week has been a classic illustration.

    My bench included Rioli (who I didn’t trade out in part because of the non-league round) and Pav, Jamar, Mzungu, Thompson, Sylvia, Broughton and Lower (all of whom were selected for my team with their non-league byes in mind).

    Didn’t have any 0’s but only scored 1890.

    Ranking dropped from 6652 to 9150. Same thing happened in round 6 except that time I dropped 5000 places.

    But I didn’t lose a game!

  37. Has anyone info or thought on whether Leigh Montagna is fully over his knee problem which he picked up against the pies in Rnd 12? At 380K and likely to average 100 from here on in (if fully fit) then i’m thinking he would be a great pick up as an underpriced prem who should come good + play all SC finals games. Trade in for maybe A.Krak?

  38. Who should I trade out for Fisher

    Thumbs UP: Duigan
    Thumbs Down: Lower
    Comment for Puopolo

    I have enough cash to trade out any of them

  39. Would appreciate some feedback

    Team this week:

    Deledio, Newman, Shaw, +cock, Heppel, Duigan, Lower
    (Otten, Puopolo, Thompson)

    Ablett?, Swan, Pendles, Priddis, Bartel, D Swallow
    (Atley, Smith, Irons)

    Cox, Smith
    (Lobbe, Currie)

    Pav, Fyfe, Goodes, Yarran, Higgins, Darling, Tapscott?
    (Richardson, Franklin, Skinner)

    I have 5 trades left and $6,700 in the bank.

    Thinking of Otten>Talia which would leave me with $255,000
    Then Duigan>Fisher

    At the end i would have about $75,000 and 3 trades.

    What do you guys think??

  40. Ok, right, is it time for all those that have Adcock to trade him out?

    Thumbs up = Yes, he is a potato of epic-sized proportions.
    Thumb Down = No, he’s been carrying an injury and might come good.

    0

    0
  41. Hmmm but I thought that Broughton would be a good pick seeing as he is coming good again and he is a unique pick…… And he has a BE of 28 meaning his price will go up a lot…

  42. My team at best:

    Defenders –
    S.Fisher, B.Gibbs, B.Goddard, H.Shaw, S.Hurn, G.Broughton, M.Hurley (C.PEDERSON, P.Puopolo, A.Johnson)

    Midfielders –
    S.Pendlebury, M.Boyd, M.Priddis, G.Ablett, S.Thompson, D.Swan (A.DIDAK, D.Harris, B.Jacobs)

    Rucks –
    D.Cox, Z.Smith (J.Tippett, M.Curnow)

    Forwards –
    M.Pavlich, R.O’keefe, N.Fyfe, L.Franklin, C.Sylvia, D.Petrie, C.Rioli (T.MZUNGU, T.Lynch, C.Richardson)

    4 Trades, $188,700

    This is my plan:

    Round 18 – T.Lynch —> D.Talia (to swap with Hurley and A.Johnson in backline) – leaves me with about $300,000

    Round 21 – P.Puopolo —> B.Deledio (completes backline with Hurley on bench) – leaves me with about $210,000
    – T.Mzungu —> A.Goodes (will be my bench player to cover for Petrie in bye) – leaves me with about $80,000

    Round 22, 23 or 24 use $80,000 whenever and wherever I want. Might upgrade Zac Smith, but I will see.

    Leaves me with a team of:

    Defenders –
    S.Fisher, B.Gibbs, B.Goddard, H.Shaw, S.Hurn, G.Broughton, B.Deledio(M.HURLEY, C.Pederson, A.Johnson)

    Midfielders –
    S.Pendlebury, M.Boyd, M.Priddis, G.Ablett, S.Thompson, D.Swan (A.DIDAK, D.Harris, B.Jacobs)

    Rucks –
    D.Cox, Z.Smith (J.Tippett, M.Curnow)

    Forwards –
    M.Pavlich, R.O’keefe, N.Fyfe, L.Franklin, C.Sylvia, D.Petrie, C.Rioli (A.GOODES, D.Talia, C.Richardson)

    Good trades – Thumbs up
    Bad trades – Thumbs down

  47. Thinking of a Darling upgrade.

    Current fwds (including a couple in the mids) are:
    Pavlich, Franklin, O’Keefe, Petrie, N Riewoldt, Krakouer, Dangerfield, Prestia, Smith, Mzungu, Darling, Matera

    Question is who should i target in my Darling upgrade?? Have $243,800 already in kitty so sky’s the limit.
    Fyfe, Goodes, Watts, Davis all spring to mind. Thoughts??????

  48. DEF: Deledio, Fisher, Gibbs, Goddard, Shaw, Grundy, Broughton.
    (L Thompson, Strauss, Toy)

    MIDS: Boyd, Priddis, Pavlich, Ablett, Swan, J Selwood (YES….KEPT HIM).
    (I Smith, Nicholson, Callinan)

    RUCKS: Cox, Smith.
    (Curnow, J Tippett)

    FORWARDS: O’Keefe, Fyfe, Goodes, Sylvia, Chapman, Petrie, Mzungu.
    (Franklin, Matera, Lynch)

    Limited trades left, thinking mabye no trades this week, would you be worried playing against this team (this week at least)?

    0

  49. Is there any value in getting a mid-range fwd at this stage of the season (Lecras, Higgins or Brown) or should i be aiming at nothing but the best in O’Keefe and Pavlich?

  50. Hey everyone…
    This is how my team stands at the moment:
    DEF: Gibbs, Shaw, Goddard, Duigan, Heppel, Hibberd, Batchelor (Suckling, Lower, Coad)
    MID: Swan, Pendlebury, Kennedy (SYD), Deledio, Van Berlo, Swallow (Hodge, Curnow, Harris)
    RUCK: Jolly, Jamar (Petrie)
    FWD: Pavlich, O’Keefe, Watts, Kennedy(WC), Darling, Matera, Dahlhaus (Franklin, Smith, Schneider)

    Needing to boost my forward line, thinking of trading out Darling??? If i trade him will have $323,000 to spend… Any ideas??

  51. No trades for me this week. Feels like an AA meeting. My name is Omen and I haven’t traded for 12 days. 🙄

    0

    0
  52. My fwds This week are are pav, fyfe, goodes, Stevie j, Petrie, darling, lynch (buddy, Dawes and Richardson on bench). Should I single trade riewoldt in for Dawes, or double trade…. Lynch + Dawes for talia and ROK?
    that would leave me with pav, fyfe, ROK, goodes, Stevie j, buddy & Petrie at full strength.

    I guess the Q is ROK worth burning 2 trades for, or go with riewoldt in a single trade?

    Any other suggestions welcome!

    0

    0
  53. Did a double trade:
    Z Smith >> Jolly
    Darling >> Goodes

    It’s a bit of a punt with Jolly but confident in his upside.

    Thank you to Zac and Jack for your work this season. Appreciate it. Especially you Zac.
