Projected 2498 this round, off to a good start with Nic Nat and Hurn. Just hoping for a strong finish to an average year. Gonna enjoy seeing the massive scores put up these last two rounds.
Well Done GB
You have me covered in our head to head in SuperCoach 2 talk .
Ironically I have owned J Kelly and Fyfe through out the year but traded them out .
Well done for holding
Their scores vs Oliver’s and Z Williams
proving difference , and with Laird and Oliver to come vs Lloyd and Mitchell your uniques Will be difficult to beat .
Brave move not to take Fyfe’s score as C.
With a bit of luck I see you in Gun’s regulars
Grand final although Gra Pol May still have something up his sleeve.
1537/13/Gawn
May have conceded our battle too early GB
Didn’t factor in Gawn’s captain score and Acres score to come and J Martin not playing .
Good luck GB and all super coachers today .
There could be another twist to play out .
Eg Docherty a late out will impact those with no bench cover vs those that have rivers on bench with E
1782/11/ Gawn
Very good start but Rivers on my bench with 107* hoping Docherty scores good or a late out will be good. Haynes,Simpkin got poor scores but winning in the league.
10/1079 Gawn
Don’t know how it got to this but to get Gawn’s 150 l have to take Aart’s 47 and bench either Rankine/Coleman.
Looks like l may have my 2 semi’s covered.
Should l just fly with Neale as C?
You work hard all season. You do your research. You make the right trades. You save up your money. You practice patience. You get to a preliminary final.
Dangerfield gets you 66
Oliver gets you 87.
Your opponent has Tim Kelly who gets him 180. Your opponent has Schoenberg as an emergency who gets him over 94.
It’s a roulette table lads. It’s all a spin of the wheel.
Thank you! I needed some perspective, and probably a hug too. All valid points. Although there is research and strategy involved, and implementing the rights moves, it’s 90% luck.
It’s painful – one of my opponents had Gaff’s 154 & Nic Nacs 143 on the first night. He also traded out Doc for L Ryan (104). I had Haynes 46, he had Laird’s 136. I had Rivers 107 on bench but couldn’t use it – had to wear Doc’s 13. I managed the right call on trading in Acres (117) to avoid Riccardi’s donut. I looked in all sorts of trouble, until I captained Gawn and he captained Neale (he doesn’t have Gawn). Result still to close to call – he also traded out Oliver this week – for Adam Treloar!
To top it off, he’s my nephew & he’s 16 years old, playing his 3rd season of supercoach, after I “coached” him for his first 2 seasons.
Leading all 5 of my prelims.
Main league for me is LOEC3. I’m ranked 12k overall v my opponent ranked 202. I’m 175 points in front with my Grundy v his Greenwood to come.
Can’t believe I’m in a LOEC GF after having to eat Riccardi’s donut and captaining my lowest scoring player. Bring on next week!
Probably the biggest sliding doors moment of SC 2020 for me:
Was initially going to:
A) Trade McPherson –> Greaves, Draper –> ROB.
However, with Doch under an injury cloud I went:
B) Docherty –> Greaves, Draper –> Gawn.
This had huge ramifications:
13 (Doch) plus 110 (Neale C) plus 105 (ROB) = 228 points
vs
75 (Greaves) plus 55 plus 300 (Gawn C) = 430 points
One flip-of-a-coin decision gained me an additional 202 points… sometimes luck just falls your way.
2304/21/Gawn was 717
Grundy to play
What a roller coaster .
On track to make 7 grand finals and finish my highest overall so stoked .
If you told me at start of round that I would get the scores delivered from Haynes , Neale , Docherty , Simpson ( sub) Oliver Brayshaw and Wingard this round I would say I would have been in for a shocker .
Luckily captain Gawn , Bontempelli, Laird , Lyons , D Smith , Stewart , Ridley , Acres , Walters , Petracca , Merrett, Macrae and Williams all delivered in spades to raise the bat while Cripps and Whitfield were serviceable .
A lot of luck involved but huge Thanks to all the supercoach team of writers and SuperCoach community .
Thanks Michael
You are all class
Regardless how you perform you you front up day after day supporting fellow Super coachers with great Advise and your own threads
We may meet up in Guns regulars final with a bit of luck if Greenwood has a shocker for your opponent.
Sorry GD, but I need Greenwood and Rankine to score 75 points to cause a massive boil over in a prelim. My opponent was projected to win by over 500 points but some absolutely shocking scores and having Neale as captain has allowed me a last ditch chance to snatch a very unlikely win. The only player he has left is Grundy,which I also have.
McGovern 52, Simpkin 62, took a flyer on Daniher a few weeks back (regrets), he had 23, Haynes 46, Docherty 13, Neale 55 and he was my captain (wasn’t happy with Petracca’s 114 so took a gamble on Neale)
Unbelievable round and i still have to somehow deal with McGovern & Docherty with just 1 trade remaining and essentially no Def bench cover (have B.Williams & Gould)
Ouch. I have Simpkin, Haynes, Doc and Neale, plus Taranto and Mitchell but was lucky enough to have thrown the VC on Gawn and slightly mitigtaed by the scores from gaff and Parker. Mind you, would have been better if I’d set my emergencies better and been able to use Rivers or Scholl’s scores.
Not sure if others have the same issue but injured players (with the red dots) are not being added to projected scores this round…
Has now been fixed
231 / 2 / VC Danger, C Macrae
Projected 2498 this round, off to a good start with Nic Nat and Hurn. Just hoping for a strong finish to an average year. Gonna enjoy seeing the massive scores put up these last two rounds.
Who would you prefer on field this week out of these two?
TU – Rivers
TD – Riccardi
I our league 2400 SC point and you lose, will need 2500+ to go through this week.
268 / 2 / V/C Gawn.
Thank you Tim Kelly !!
I get you in for Jelly 2 weeks ago and you serve up a 57 then an 87.
Then this week, when I really need you you score 180.
You little beauty!
And in even better news, not one of my 4 opponents has him 🙂
I’m in the same boat…only one out of 6 oppts to have him.
180/1
1046 / 10 / VC Max
Bring on Sat Night!
Which player to trade out for Jake Lloyd?
T/U: Doch
T/D: Zac Williams
Cheers
Better combo to bring in:
TU: Neale/Acres
TD: Lyons/B.Smith
1492/12/Gawn
Trying not to get too excited, doing well so far but I’ve got that J. Martin donut to eat.
Well Done GB

Grand final although Gra Pol May still have something up his sleeve.
Laird and Lyons to come GB in our unique’s battle vs Mitchell and Lloyd
1453/11/Gaff
Very good start with Simpkin my only poor score so far. Projected for 2627 so would love for that to come true!
1537/13/Gawn
May have conceded our battle too early GB
Didn’t factor in Gawn’s captain score and Acres score to come and J Martin not playing .
Good luck GB and all super coachers today .
There could be another twist to play out .
Eg Docherty a late out will impact those with no bench cover vs those that have rivers on bench with E
1481 / 14 / VC Gawn.
With Gawn as C and Hurns looped score.
1719 / from 15.
Still to come…
ROB
Macrae
Baz
Cripps
Doc
Titch
Neale
I agree with PBuzz
I have the unfortunate situation of having looped Hurn.
This now leaves Rivers with no E sitting on my bench.
If Doc is a late out, I’m stuffed !
Best of luck today folks.
Wouldn’t bust out the white flag just yet, P. You’ve got 260 points just waiting to be added with the Gawn loop and Acres.
My premos have fired, but think you might pip me just by virtue of having 22 to my 21.
Good luck!
1782/11/ Gawn
Very good start but Rivers on my bench with 107* hoping Docherty scores good or a late out will be good. Haynes,Simpkin got poor scores but winning in the league.
1782 from 11? Sure you’ve calculated that right, Johnny? Means you’re on track for 2900-3000.
If so, great work!
I thought that was a little off too GD
Even if you take off 300 for Gawn.. thats 10 players scoring 142 each ?
Unless he owns all the top scorers from every round so far.
Eg
T Kelly
Gaff
Barras or Nic Nat.
Stewart / Bicavs
Fyfe
Rockliff
Dev Smith
Ridler / May
Gawn
J Kelly
Tracc
This barely gets you there anyway ??
Sorry should say 10 players scoring 148.2
I just can see how it could happen ?
must be joking around ?
Who do I bench in tech team to get Rivers?Doch,Noble or Day?
Thanks all and good luck to all looking at those great scores.
Bench Day. Doch’s a premo and Noble’s ceiling has improved of late.
Cheers GD
10/1079 Gawn
Don’t know how it got to this but to get Gawn’s 150 l have to take Aart’s 47 and bench either Rankine/Coleman.
Looks like l may have my 2 semi’s covered.
Should l just fly with Neale as C?
I am having a nightmare Preliminary Final. Current score 911 / 11 players completed:
S Docherty 10 (inj.)
N Haynes 46
J McGovern 59 (inj.)
J Simpkin 62
P Dangerfield 66
D Martin 85
C Oliver 87
You work hard all season. You do your research. You make the right trades. You save up your money. You practice patience. You get to a preliminary final.
Dangerfield gets you 66
Oliver gets you 87.
Your opponent has Tim Kelly who gets him 180. Your opponent has Schoenberg as an emergency who gets him over 94.

SOOOO well said, TE.
Hats off to anyone to who’s done well this season, but most of 2020 SC has been luck imo.
It’s painful – one of my opponents had Gaff’s 154 & Nic Nacs 143 on the first night. He also traded out Doc for L Ryan (104). I had Haynes 46, he had Laird’s 136.

Hoping to meet you in the final of LOEC3 Stew. I’m just in front in the opposite final. Good luck!
2396/Gawn/22
Many Sunday players saved my a$$ and come thru with the goods.
Reverse traded Daniel back to Doc min before the bounce.

Greenwood left to play.
Ranked 522 @ start of round.
Wow what a flyer! youre gonna fly up this week!
2304/21/Gawn was 717
Grundy to play

Great work, Paul.
If I was going to be knocked out of a prelim by anyone I’m happy it’s by you lol.
Congrats.
Thanks Michael

We may meet up in Guns regulars final with a bit of luck if Greenwood has a shocker for your opponent.
Yeah, if Greenwood has a nightmare I’ll sneak into a few more finals.
Right back at you, Paul. Dirty season has been made significantly more enjoyable by you and the other SCT regulars.
Take care.

2323 (Gawn)with Grundy and Greenwood to play
2485/21/Gaff
Still got Grundy to come. So happy, Simpkin and Titch my only scores under 97. Been very lucky this week.
happy was meant to say Doch*
2403 ) Gawn ) 22
Extremely happy with that
Had to play Shoenberg and Close, copped Docherty’s 13.
And still scored reasonably well.
I have been absolutely destroyed this round.
1645 – 19/22 – projected 1949
McGovern 52, Simpkin 62, took a flyer on Daniher a few weeks back (regrets), he had 23, Haynes 46, Docherty 13, Neale 55 and he was my captain (wasn’t happy with Petracca’s 114 so took a gamble on Neale)

2509/22/ C-Gawn
Pull this one from you know where
2119/Gawn/ 21.
Grundy to come
Might still sneak into a few grand finals.
2162/21/ Neale =(
What a shocker was ranked 2304 but that will go through the floor.
Could have went big too I had Nic Nat, Fyfe, JKelly, Stewart, Bont & Laird who all went 125+. With Petracca, Ridley & Lloyd also all over 110
