The original and the best. Your #1 resource for daily AFL SuperCoach tips and analysis.
Nathan O’Driscoll, medical sub for Dockers.
Cooper Sharman – St Kilda medical sub
thank you as always good sir for all the timely updates on teams, player impacts / injuries and news from clubland – INVALUABLE!
Thank you Macca and PBuzz, appreciate your comments and glad that people find the information useful.
Love your work CT
First thing l look at on site is coaches update .
Cmon Chapman show me something otherwise next round you might have a name change to Hinge lol
Happy for the ball to live in the saints forward line, with Ryan, Chapman and Hayes
Jordan Clarke is fast, has good skills, but has a low footy IQ. Had a short pass on but went long and got picked off. Exactly what he did at the cats.
He could be a gun, ala Gaff, but needs to sort that out.
God I know it’s gonna sound like a broken record but having these kids have their debut as a sub and not getting any game time is horrendous for the image of the game and the friends and family of those who have followed them on the journey. Not sure if a rule change is required to fix it but it’s awful
It is horrific isn’t it. Bombers did it to Wanganeen yesterday and Saints did it to Wanganeen-Milera last week.
Lloydy was talking about it on the sunday footy show and he made the point just to wait until they are good enough for the starting 22 before bringing them in…. Makes sense (and Lloydy doesn’t always make so much sense lol)
Very rarely I agree with Lloyd but i hate it, was so sad to see last night.
Also seems not to make sense if your trying to win you want a reliable plug and play player who can fill multiple roles.
Rookies by definition aren’t reliable
Steele is playing his way out of my team for Cripps this week…..
He’ll still be top 5 by the end of the year. On track for 100+ this week.
Surely you have bigger concerns
Funnily enough I posted that about half way through the second quarter and he was on 16 at the time. I have no idea how he made his way to 50 at halftime, but I will take it.
Last minute decision to start Steele over Brayshaw looking like a bad move for me so far. Steele to obviously still be a gun and Top 5, but will shed some cash.
Could have saved myself $100k
Would love to find a way to turn Whitfield into Brayshaw.
Any love for Hayden Young. Looks like a breakout year??
Loved him at the back end of last year but he played too well and his price ended up really awkward at the start of this year. Player to watch for the future for sure.
Will be one of my first picked defenders next year irrespective of price.
If I had known how much he would get the ball, I wouldn’t have taken Chapman, because Ryan also gets a tonne of the ball.
Who goes for Cripps
T/U – Whitfield
T/D – Ridley
Think Chapman is getting rookie corrected to Bowey in a few hours
Jeez I’m crying here for taking Titch over Brayshaw after having him all pre season hahah supercoach can be so cruel.
Watching Titch very closely round 1 and 2 it’s clear he has lost his inside role, frustrating.
Titch too Brayshaw/Crippa is very real
Darcy out for the rest of the game subbed out for o’driscoll with the prior knee injury.
What to do with Steele. Got a few passengers already, Steele, Whitfield, gawn. Hmmmm
No Darcy 🙁
Ryan huge .. Go Freo !
Yes, Ryan huge – but showed none of it last week. Is he just a home ground specialist or was last week an anomaly?
Actually showed a lot of guts and character, and class today – but last week he was an absolute witches that that you wouldn’t feed.
Is it him or the coach that causes such a difference? Bizarre contrast.
Corrective trades for next week –
OUT – Berry & Whitfield
IN – Hewett & Heeney
The kid o’driscoll has kicked a ripper on debut from the boundary. This has been a tough last quarter to watch but a real moment of class in a match lacking it and gives them a sniff
