Open Form…. How are you tracking, what would you change and what would you like to know.

I’d like to know what happned to to D Martin (89) and Ellis (50)….

Remps March 30, 2012 at 11:02 pm

What would I change? Me taking out Pendles at the start of the preseason and just thinking… He won’t average 129 again. Surely not.

167 odd first game… FML.

Steady Remps. You’ve pulled up stumps after 3 games! I haven’t got Pendles, but I’m comfortable that with the $100k I’ve saved as I think I’ve got me a mid pricer who will average about 95-100. If you’ve used your savings wisely then you’re no worse off.

Disappointed with clarke as well. I got excited because he was on about 25 points and one of the highest few scores in the first 15 minutes or so of the game haha but that’s supercoach for you

I would change what I would change EVERY year – the last minute panicked changes I make (usually after “x” is named on the bench for the first game – as though that means anything these days).

I would also have spent some money on defenders; Boumann, Morris, Ellis and Clarke … yick !!

Of course I also would have put the big “C” on Pendles … now wait for Gablett to be tagged out of the game …

Maybe shoulda, coulda, woulda given Krooz more consideration… Shoosh Motts
Spewing I didn’t give more thought towards Lids, Birchall or JackyRoo. Expected more from Martin. Only first round though. Surprised by Jolly but burnt me too much last year. Not going there!!!

I’ll be stoked if I can crack 2k this weekend.

So glad I paid up for Pendles. Hoping I feel the same way about Massive aswell.
Would be looking a lot better if Cloke could kick for goal, but I knew the risks.

Overall, pretty pleased.

Other team (composite formula) is going okay 1075/12/GAJ (rookies let me down in ellis, shiel, cognilio and smith but pendles, franklin and kreuzer dominated)

Initially going to throw the laptop out the window when seeing Pendles score after trading him out 3 minutes prior to lock out. However Ellis and Morris’ low scores convienced me it was too big a risk with a backline of Clarke/Ellis/Darley/Morris/Smedts, so Pendles became Selwood and Smedts became Lake, with Clarke benched this week. If Lake outscores Clarke by more than Pendles does Selwood, all may not be lost. Unless of course Smedts carves it up and locks his place in the Cats best 21, then all may indeed be lost…

No rookies left on the field for the rest of the weekend (not counting Porps as a rookie), and with Parker, Sheil and Ellis’ scores already counted, I might just be able to sneak a score above 2000 with my 11 remaining men.

Quick Sat morning poll for those interested, will Selwood make my day with a score of 130+ (thumbs up), or will he ruin my weekend with a sub 100 score and 3 weeks off with concussion (thumbs down, obviously)? Anything in between will neither make me or break me…

I say it at the end of every year – only buy guns and rookies. Hope scores below are going to get better over season.
Sidebottom 72
Hale 82
Malceski 83
Martin 89

Rookies will improve and $$$ will increase regardless of big scores so not as worried by Smith 55 and Clarke/Ellis 50.

Only early days, but pleased I paid up for Pendles and Buddy. Also happy with Birch’s first game.

Clarke and Ellis a little disappointing but you can’t expect the rooks to shoot the lights out. Having Bugg as an emerg stings a little.

Have quite a few premos to come inc GAJ as cap and Magner only playing rook left so I’d be wrapped to crack 2K in first week.

Solid start Benno, if Gaj pumps out a 150 I can see you getting between 2100-2150.

In the 1st few rounds, IMO getting over 2100 with the amount of rookies you have on the ground will set a great foundation for your season.

Good luck!

Happy with my decision to select Buddy, Mitchell and Pendles. Questioning selection of Hale, but still only round one. Annoyed that I had Cameron instead of Kennedy from GWS.

Pleasantly surprised with being able to access the super coach site with 10 mins before the bounce. I assumed I wouldn’t be able to log in.

Overall a solid start, with the same captain as 400,000 close friends.

Rusty 72, but will improve.
Coniglio, D.Smith, Clarke & Ellis give me 50-59 scores, which is good enough @ this stage. They’ll ripen in the sun.
Happy enough at this stage, GAJ, Goddard, Massive, Fyfe, Lake, Porpoise, Smedts & Magnet to finish.

I just tried that 14 day Supercoach Gold trial just to see how many people have selected some of the same players as me (was most interested in Pendles – 25% of teams have him), but I was shocked to find that the highest ownership rate was Franklin at about 63% owned and that Gablett is only in 53 % of all teams – 47% of teams don’t even have him, which strikes me as absolutely ludicrous.

So fess up – who here decided not to get Gablett and why (surely even the non-football following nuff nuffs know Ablett is awesome) ??

Damen, maybe these 47% of coaches that didn’t pick Gazza, have this insane idea that he will get cheaper as the season progresses! If one was to think that, they should buy the DVD “The Castle” as there is a common line used throughout the show……………TELL EM THERE DREAMIN!

Pretty much every team has at least one match breaking small forward. Took about four touches from Stevie J for Lyon to put Broughton onto him for the rest of the game and I think it will be the same every week.

I don’t like to knee jerk and burn trades but I do like to have a team I’m completely happy with by round 3. Seriously considering giving him the bullet.

It doesn’t matter – those who dodged the Broughton bullet (like me), will be wasting a trade on some other “fix” which is required (like, ahem, not having A Kennedy). The early rounds are the only times you can trade without guilt, before the prices change.

Whoops – sound like you went the wrong B. in the end – at least thus far. It’s only one round (so don’t get too hasty), but Mundy and Moribito will be back soon and Barlow will be fitter and they won’t play him on a wing anymore (Morabito’s position). So, is this saying too much or do we cut our losses before the price change ?

Hear what you are saying and DEF wait till next round, BUT trades are there for a reason and we have 24 … my mother’s team came about 37th in Dreamteam last year, and it wasn’t through selecting the best team from the start (I traded in Curnow AND Liberatore before the price changes). Just something to consider (I also picked up Broughton cheap after about 10 rounds – then he went BANG till near the end).

whats going on fella’s…. so my team is doing ok i guess, a few upsides.

2001/ 20/ GAJ.
got Boyd & Redden (port) still to come… so hopefully 2200-ish.

Upsides.
Got Luke Parker, 60 in half a game is great, bench till he comes back.
GWS rookies (Kennedy, Smith, Bugg) been solid this week.
Mumford played half-arsed and got 96. He’s gonna be a beast. 120-ish???
Magner, keep making me that money kid.
Clark (50) will only get better, if he hits 65ish -75ish i’ll be happy.
Martin (89) Surely can only get better.

Downsides.
Morris on the field instead of Eliis (20 points down). DUH.
Broughton (57) Tagging (was expecting 90+ , swap Birchall in???)
Martin (89) WTF??
Danger (93) seemed lucky he got that. didnt look like he touched the ball much.

Thinking exactly the same thing Johnny, I only picked Broughton because I thought (like many other coaches) that he would be in the midfield this year. Unfourtunately that isn’t the case as he was given a shut down role on Stevie J. Give it one more week and if the same happens again, straight swap Broughton for Adcock / Birchall looks good before the prices go up and down.

Have Goddard & Lake to finish off the week. Hoping to get to 2200, which seems like a solid start. Left some points on the bench with Bugg & Kennedy as emergencies, but I suspect that a few may have done that. Having Ellis, Broughton, Clarke and Smith all score less than 60 on the field hurts a little. There is a reason some guys are called premiums though, so thank you to: Murphy, Franklin, Rockliff, Ablett, Fyfe and Selwood

D4 Position trade for Broughton:

Thumbs Up – J.Adcock – ($490,300) RD 1 – 140SC

Thumbs Down – G.Birchall – ($509,600) RD 1 – 103SC

I know it’s early but I can’t stand watching Broughton tagging someone whilst Birchall and Adcock run through the midfield and backline doing what they want.

Cheers :)

Things I learnt last night (North vs Dons):

- Stanton is earning respect by the minute
- Dempsey has improved ALOT and is now very hard at it with quite good foot skills
- Hille, Fletcher, Lovett-Murray and Mcveigh are more important than people think
- Melksham has got to improve his kick
- Hooker is not strong enough to compete with the big forwards… he gives too many cheap free kicks away when they beat him
- Hibberd is one of the most hard-at-it players I have seen down back for the Dons. He looks very good
- Hardingham has to be put on a small forward – he can’t compete with the big guys
- The team has to look for Hurley’s leads more, he is getting frustrated
- Zaharakis, Jetta and Monfires all have to lift and crumb better
- Watson’s kicking and turning over ofthe ball was disgraceful
- If Ryder doesn’t get lazy, he could be up there for the Brownlow
- The Dons will finish from 6th to 10th with North, St Kilda, Fremantle and Sydney filling the rest of those positions

And last, but definitely not least:

- DYSON HEPPEL IS GOING TO WIN A BROWNLOW!

1764 / 19 / Mumford

Mumford let me down as my captain. I thought Caddy was going to be better. From what I saw Watson had a bad game, but he actually scored alright. Broughton and Johnson were both SH#T! Swallow can be better.

Happy with Giles, Bugg, Deledio, Martin, Shaw, Franklin, Porps, Ablett, Watson, Fyfe, Selwood…

Smith subbing for Kennedy next week and also Coniglio subbed for Magner.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed yet, but if you go to “Match Centre” in Supercoach, you can now actually see all your opponents scores and how many of their players have played etc. In most of my leagues it looks like the top score will be close to 2,300 at a rough guess.

so far pretty happy with my choice to go bartel (and a spare $50K) instead of selwood, hopefully it pays off in the long term with bartel keeping up with selwoods points, scoring just as good or better then him in most games, then using the $50K to go towards an upgrade for a very good premium maybe a week or so earlier then most people will be able to.

Have to give him 1 more week I think. See how he goes on Tippet/Walker next week before i start really cursing him for sucking me in. Plentyof choices for a sideways trade on him anyway. Bad thing about gambling is that sometimes we lose haha.

I agree BR but didn’t like what I saw in terms of nimbleness, confidence and even perhaps arrogance in him….
With new SC rules you can now trade on a Sunday I believe get the frustration out and then change back later in the week when you’re calmer HGL!!!!

Hi Ok odd question. If I unhappy with my team and Instead of trading could I simply leave the league I am in. Rejoin with an improved team and carry on as usual. Seeing as I only playing for league win and not overall can this be done. And league games dont start till R3 Making sense am I?! Thanks guys.

Congrats to you and your team BigRuss. Showed a lot of spirit!

As for mine, Stunned- at half time I thought they (my boys) were about to put their feet down on the accelerator but I think they hit an oil spill somewhere instead. And for another note can the commentators please learn our players names? They called Jack Steven the wrong name almost all game and mis-spelt rooeys name pre-game. As his sister said on twitter, after 12 years of footy AND a cousin also out there playing, you would think they’d know it by now.

2164…Satisfied with that first up. Its always a raffle getting the rookies right. Broughton is on thin ice (#FURL). He gets one more week to get a game in the guts. Golby as well, if Dempsey scores well again this week.

Seriously considering the old switcheroo between Ledger and C. Smith. And Crapps is very lucky there is no decent forward rookies to replace him with!

Great effort by Brabert with 111 which was a real gamble selection.
