Does Clark, Narkle get to Freo?
Been more interest for Clark from West Coast, who desperately need outside run.
No word on Narkle yet.
Couple of updates.
Narkle has signed on for another year at the Cats (with the promise of more playing time you’d think) and Clark has reportedly met with Freo.
Bulldogs by 10, 78 – 68. Jack Steele Brownlow. Jack Macrae Norm Smith Medal.
Who will be runners up to Essendon next year ??
Adelaide Crowes who will go onto be 2023 Premiers
Do they have runners up for the spoon Wighty?
Yep…Blues spoon..Tigers 17th…lose to GWS in last game to secure spot.
Essendon to beat Collingwood in GF after one of them beats GWS in prelim,
Blues wooden spoon……I’d like to see that Wighty………probably as much chance as the umpires getting their decisions right…..LOL
Chameleon, the only thing better than your scenario would be topping our 23 point 3/4 time deficit in 1984 in the process.
Geelong I reckon
Free to good home….my Dad !!
But son, I enjoy living with you.
The Dees by 16 . Oliver Norm Smith
Are we having the Brownlow comp this year?
I think so Lisa….Motts had a big day yesterday keeping up with three punters in the Punters Club !!
No Brownlow thread this year ? 🙁
No, no, no! It’ll be up in 5 minutes!
Anyone got a good BBL SuperCoach site?
Or anyone have any advice for a first timer?
Best advice is to buy cheap players who will score big….easy !!!
Thanks I can’t go wrong now
Haha. Seriously, the best advice is to load up on teams that have two games in a round, avoiding teams that have a bye. R1 go big on Sixers and Heat, and make sure a captain is from those teams.
Cheers Wighty
Good all rounders are gold due to two methods of scoring but those nothing allrounders that bat at 5/6/7 and only occasionally bowl one or two overs are useless as they often do neither.
Dont pick any pure batsmen that doesnt bat in the top 3.
Be careful not to overdo double game players as you may leave yourself short due to byes eg Heat double game rd 1 bye rd 2.
Use max trades every week. You are given 3 every week for the duration of the season and can not save trades for later.
There are opportunities to ‘loop’ in bench scores if you have a non player on the bench.
Check the Aus and Aus A teams for players who will be missing games before selecting your starting team.
Google SC Playbook, their website isnt great for non subscribers but still better than anything else going around.
i’m bored !!!!
It’s allright wighty, bbl about to start then it will be afl pre season in no time. That should keep you out of the cellar.
I have lost the keys !!! I think my son stole them. Very worried about my Penfolds Grange Hermitage collection…all 1452 bottles !!
Are any of them still full???
They all were Bruce, but who knows now ??
Burp !!!
How long before yorkers get no balled for being dangerous deliveries????
……or if over stepping no balls to be penalised with a no run up ball, so your feet are punished, or under arm if it was a wide……..???
…….will basketball 3 pointers be banished for fancy 3 point dunks???
Ahh, sensationalism……..
…….I’m bored…..LOL
Ok, I’m in bbl for the first time and Wighty’s theory makes sense (gulp).
Is there any other WOW I need to aim at addressing before rd1?
Mate…you have made my day reading that !!!!
Wine tasting at my place..Penfolds Grange…every vintage from 1948. And its free !!!
Wighty it’s never to late to foster out kids for mental heath reasons……..
Thinking that one through….totally agree with what you say, but not quite getting the point.
…….your prized Penfolds Grange going out free, and it didn’t course you grief and stress…LOL
But it did…..its clearly effecting my mental health !!!
So what happens to the AFL season if that muppet from the West continues with his 14 day quarantine stance ??
No games in WA then – Stuff him!
Agree totally…or those two teams just play each other each week !!
He’s lost two tests, including an Ashes test…imagine if he loses some AFL games too.
Haha. Let them hub the whole season!
We need a BBL thread

Great work Shaggi.
Marshall ruck only sucks !!
Dawson and Crisp early starters for defences…..???
COGS looking like a starting price of under $300k…if fit and with dpp, thats very enticing as a fwd.
……..and speaking of starting prices……..R9 No 14……..at Paky today LOL
Thanks mate…my boy and I both had $100ew !!
‘Should be able to restore a couple of grange…..
If only !!!
BBL supercoach
Can anyone explain how Brisbane Heat get to fly into Perth for their BBL game on Wednesday ??
SuperCoach is so similar in its sports for torment;
In footy, your Capt gets injured, in cricket they get ducks……
You didn’t have c on Phillippe ???
My excuse…….I’m a first time novice……but I’ve learnt that if a ‘keeper is also an opening bat-or there abouts, especially if he is playing 2 games for the round…..THEN HE IS YOUR BLOODY CAPT!!!…..(sob)…LOL
Ps….WOW please: If you don’t have access to the game, how soon, and where from,…can you get team layouts?????
You nailed it mate…300+ pts from Philippe, and he still has a game to go !! Your question is a good one..Fox give the teams about 15-20 mins before the game, but thats it. Should do so some 30 mins before.
Good luck for rest of year.
Who is higher up the batting order for Strikers, Worrall or Siddle????
It’s ok, found it….
Nice finish to your r1……my boys tanked it !!
Captained Jack Wildermuth…
Who’d you VC….
Tom Curran who scored 22 first game, then 118 the next!
Captained Rashid Khan this week, at least he got more than 4!

Hello all.
I’m interested in folks ideas on next years top players and potential cheapies.. from each position ?
Please let me know if I’ve forgotten anyone, I know I have!
I’m not sure on price yet but hopefully some players will come discounted or be “Value.” I have tried to find a few on each line.
Def. My first picked maybe Crisp M/F .. He might be last years Laird with his more than handy DPP and fantastic durability. Others are..
Ridley, Whitfield M/D , Short, Stewart( If Fit ) ,Hall, Dale, Rich, Salem, May. Lukosius M/D
Others to consider are Moore and Hunter M/D. I’m not sure there true Premo’s but they will both be cheap after missing lots of last year.
Mids… Theres Heaps .
The first 5 or 6 will be $630K + you would think.
The next tier will be just below.
Top 6…
Macrae, Oliver, Steele, Miller, Bont, Parish.
Then…
Titch, Walsh, Petracca, Merrett, Brayshaw, lyons, Guthrie.
Cheapies to consider*. Brodie ( Freo , I’m not sure Fyfe will be ready ) Rowell could be a real bargain, but can I risk it again !
Daicos and Horne Francis are both top priced rookies, but should play.
West Coast Greg Clarke is a mature aged, and must get Rookie priced Mid if he gets a game.
I’m hoping a few more rookies pop up.
Rucks.. This should be very interesting this year after a few years of just locking in G&G. They will both still be in the discussion, but this year a few others have potential. S0..
Grundy
Gawn
Darcy.. looks fit but he won’t come cheap.
Marshall could break into the top2 but is now Ruck only 🙁
Some other Cheaper R2 options..
McInerney is hitting the right age.
English is R/F
Whitts will be cheap after missing last year.
Forwards..
Most of last years forwards look to have moved to defence.
Lucky a heap more have popped up.
My first picked will be Dunkley M/F He may even come with a slight discount after the shoulder last year. other M/F to look at are.
Duncan, Treloar, Stringer, D Goey, Taranto, Sidebum.T Thomas.
Cheapies..
Gresham M/F could work if he gets some midfield time.
Charlie Curnow maybe around $250K.
Looking forward to other thoughts on potential players..
Especially rookies.
Cheers
FT, I have had Deep Blue (thats a computer, not a kind of adult movie) running since the end of the season. It has assumed a blessed number of 5.4 and discounts up to 30% for those with less than 7 games. Some interesting results.
Comparing averages (which will determine starting prices) with year end prices shows these…
Grundy likely 622.1, ye 513.9
Gawn 652.3/566.5
Witts 341.1/487.3 (discounted starting price)
McInerney 505.4/566.8
Preuss 202.0/na (discount on previous price of 303.0
Suggests the Gawndy days are over. Sam Draper looks the other prospect. I could go on but I’m sure you get the drift. COGS with dpp looks outstanding if he can get a run at it ($265k I think). So does Matt Crouch (416k) and Gresham with DPP (290.9).
And its only December….be interesting to see how my calcs shape up when real numbers come out !!
Thanks Wighty.
A few others to consider are Neale, he should be discounted after last year maybe $550K ?
He might be too good to pass up, if fit.
Forwards finally look packed with options. Cogs as you mentioned will But will be pretty highly owned you would think.
Elia Hollands ( suns ) should be $124K rookie. Missed last year but has enormous talent and worth a punt at that price.
I’m passing on Neale. Doesn’t want to be there, getting older, injuries starting to creep in. At about the same price, I reckon Andrew Brayshaw outscores him over the season.
Players I know I forgot… and will probably pick..
Jake Lloyd and Jordan Dawson.
Both will be better for not being in the same team..
Wighty (Yoda master-san),
Do you think it’s worth trading in extra Melbourne Stars players even with the 2 games????…..LOL
(Maybe Cartwright?)
Mate, given your form, I should be asking you the questions !!
But yes, if you haven’t got them, Stoinis and Maxwell at least for any Adelade players…both are due to go off and what better time than a double game round. Zampa too.
……@#$&*!!!! Never get distracted and remember at 5 min before game…..LOL sob
At least you missed out on Zampa !! I had v on Stoinis not Maxy 🙁
Official 2022 SC prices for some relevant players:
Grundy (627.1k)
Neale (543.2k)
Preuss (204.7k)
Hall (575.9k)
Berry (268.5k)
Coniglio (261.3k)
Curnow (224.3k)
A few more –
Callum Mills (Syd) $612,100 MID
Patrick Dangerfield (Geel) $567,800 MID
Patrick Cripps (Carl) $454,800 MID
Nat Fyfe (Frem) $456,500 MID
Jack Ziebell $585,800 DEF
Its way to early but i think I’m going to look at skipping the Set/forget rucks and go for 2-4 midprice R/F’s plus a rookie R/Fs and rotate them through until i can upgrade rookies into premium rucks for the back half of the season.
other thoughts Defenders on bad teams, Mids on middle of the pack teams and FWDS who play mid on good teams.
Defenders: Crisp seems a must have, Loyd will be there for a good score, might be better without Dawson (who also seems like a good pick) and Short (plus tigers rookies)
Midfield. curious to see what a Free Jordan Clark does in Freo.
Forwards: We’re all probably sleeping on Jake Stringer. He’s going to get a lot of midfield time/centre bounces
Yeah, liking the look of Stringer as well but wonder what his CBA load and OB role will look like with McGrath, Caldwell and Shiel back.
They were all sidelined while Stringer was popping off. Hmm.
Essendon seems to have too much small midfield depth. (which is why Hobbs is a massive stay away) not sure how it will all fit together. but having much talent (even if you are missing elite talent) is usually a good position to be in.
Stringer got a good amount of CBA’s due to his having a big body to crash through the contest. then moving forward once the game gets into general play. I think that role is likely to continue to stay as is. Unless Langford/Perkins overtake Stringer as the Crash and Bash on baller
Stringer is a confidence player. Will start centre, get some touches and go fwd.
How many afl games will be played in WA 1n 2022 ??
How many lock downs will Victoria endure?
A lot of sport around the world is currently being thrown into chaos, NBA being a great example.
Might pay to try and covid proof your supercoach team as much as possible.
No Dockers or Eagles !!!
‘Evenin’ all.
Words of wisdom please……how does the BBL postponement effect things???
Disregard the above….just got an extra trade, will reverse.
……did you just do that Yoda-san??……LOL
Unnamed Sydney Thunder player reported to have returned a p[positive result according to Sky news.
Part of my trades were Sams and J Sangha……so it’s probably one of them……
Sams was one of mine. Four players….thats a lot.
Sydney Thunder can confirm that four players have today tested positive to COVID-19.
We are working with Cricket Australia and SA Health ahead of tonight’s game against the Strikers at Adelaide Oval.
19 people from Stars and Thunder have tested positive…including admin. Stars have Hales, Ross, Sangha, whiteman all positive. Game still going ahead at this stage.
Stars are no playing tonight, but Thunder are,…..so why aren’t they telling us……..of course it will have nothing to do with bets already placed……or you meant Thunder and not Stars…….
Def Stars and Thunder…Stars coach David Hussey is one of the positives.
Source is Sydney Morning Herald. Seven Stars players positive which puts their next two games in doubt, including the Derby.
Google “BBL” and its all there.
The immediate future of the Big Bash League season is in limbo with a combined 19 positive COVID-19 cases present within the Melbourne Stars and Sydney Thunder camps.
The Stars have had seven players and eight staff impacted, including head coach David Hussey, while the Thunder have had four players affected – Alex Hales, Alex Ross, Tanveer Sangha and Sam Whiteman.
Cut and pasted from Sydney Morning Herald
Thank you Yoda-san, I will now put ‘em back in.
243pts + Renshaw 53 and McDermott maybe to come in tomorrow, Oh praise the mighty Yoda-San………but beware, I’m being possessed by the “Demons” (?)….
Nice start…I did a last minute swap of Sams to Rashid cause of covid 🙁 How many players you used ?? I have v McDermott into Henriques if needed.
It will probably be Jewel,….yep, Jewel,…..don’t ask……out for McDermott, and that will be the 4 trades.
If it’s who’s in my team, then go to Sledgers league and click my game, and then go to the Demons game and you will understand my ramblings (9-10 the same).
To all those people who had McDermott as Capt………I’m sorry
To the Demon of Sledge-ville, ……..I hope your caviars and crayfish give you intergestion……
I had v on recruit McDermott….straight swap for the Bison. C went to Henriques…..that really all went well
Thats not nice !!!! I had my worst round ever…BBL or AFL. At least I have a “bye” this round to recover.
If you are reading this Wighty, you missed the start of the 3.30 game……and double points……..but it’s ok, it’s only me……..Wahahaha!
……ok,…..How did you do that?…..there was no green under your name?!?!?!
Haha…..not telling…you might use it against me in afl SC !!
There’s no secret…changes to a team other than your own, can’t be seen till the game starts….for obvious reasons methinks.
A wicket keeper who bats in the top 3 with double points……….@#$&*
After the debacle of BBL, lets hope the SC Gods have clear rules before the season, in case the same thing happens in AFL.
I’m still smarting from Supercoach R3 2020, and that Irish leprechaun !!!
