  1. being a non owner i can’t bare watch English go 180+ as everyone’s VC tonight.. instead I’ll be watching the “notebook” from 7.49 onwards so if anyone else is in the same boat drop round the beer is cold and tissues are soft.

    Just rozee and bont in this one for me.

  3. I’m gonna roll the dice and keep Baker. Most he can lose is about 25k which is a pain in the butt. But I don’t really trust any of this weeks alternatives/options that I can use – Keays, Fyfe, Maric, Sinn.
    Defenders are ruled out because I have no DPP to get there.

  4. After Butler somehow cops a suspension for his tackle, I’m now waiting for a new sports betting market.
    Who will cop a suspension this week?
    Backing Drew tonight for a suspension

        0 tackles
        2 hitouts (0 to advantage)

    1. In the same boat mate. Lifted that quarter, hopefully he has a huge second half with close-game points likely available.

    1. I think their score is doubled and if the 2x score is good enough to make your best 18, the score is included.

  5. Baker subbed on – need him to reach his BE of 59 please SC Gods…..
    Would have traded him but lack of available downgrade targets is painful.

  6. Worst I’ve seen English play and he’s played from behind every contest. TF he’s only my vc I’d be dark if I had the C on him.

          1. Thanks for the heads up mate I have just gone and reversed that trade. . Haha
            Hopefully Nash doesn’t clamp him down with the tag this weekend.

  7. Notebook has just finished I’ve composed myself enough to finally have a look a look at some supercoach scores….

    English will still find a way to ton up here but what about Houston. Avg of 102, 3Rnd of 118, 5Rnd of 111 and on 25 midway through the final qtr, yikes.

  8. You’d think if you are taller than your opponent you should play from in front.
    Seems English missed the memo on how to dominate Lycett

    1. Agree.. Couldn’t have played any worse and still scrapes a 90 an was horrible that final term and somehow just kept accruing points.. handball happy, a couple frees against, half as many HOs to his opponent and scores 90. That goal may have netted him 15 pts though as it was when the game was on the line.

  9. Lmao Tingles 90. In no world was that a 90 game. CD lack of integrity will kill SC. Rant over.

  10. Played and enjoyed SC for long time. No more. Can not tolerate the blatant cheating by CD. Yes cheating. If you watched the game compare the pair. Butters 3 votes no doubt, 118SC Tingles 99SC, is that right?

    1. You do realise Butters went at 55% DE which heavily reduced his score. Then had 8 disposals final term which 7 were handballs at 63% DE.
      English kicked a goal and had a couple of good marks in the final term in a close game for scaling.

      English’s score did seem too high though

      1. Yes i do realise. If you think the difference between Butters and Tingles was 19 then we were watching 2 different games. Btw i own neither.

    2. Question is, if they are cheating, why, and what do they gain ?
      I just think there is a major problem in their scoring matrix.

      1. Human bias for sure but not deliberate cheating. A friend of my son has a job scoring games for CD. He says there are a lot of young blokes involved and out of excitement they get a bit trigger happy when entering a stat for their favourite/high profile players. If there is a clear mistake then a supervisor steps in to correct. Obviously there should be little argument about hard stats like scores, marks etc but there is human subjectivity in things like contested, disposal efficiency, HTA’s etc. That is where human bias creeps in… the rest, especially scaling, is based on algorithms so rules should apply consistently… however also designed by humans so imperfect.

  11. Reckon tingles score is the one that requires CD to be called to account. He got 71 in second half. Sure he kicked a goal, but he got flogged in the ruck.

  12. English had 9 HTAs last night according to the AFL Stats. They would have been after the first term since he did nothing until then.
    His average is 9 per game. Probably a strong reason for the boosted score
