  4. Like many others: 206/2/Swan
    with Goddard as VC, but will roll the dice with the ever-reliable ink-and-leather poisoned man.

  5. Riewoldt…… Mediocre return for $500k+ player. He looked lost and dejected. Need better scores from premiums to improve on my current rank of 155. Swan gets the nod for capt for me. (have Brock McCauley but didn’t exploit the emergency loophole for him!!) damn

  9. 312/3/Pendlebury

    Goddards 120 is there just incase in the VC spot. Money in the bank I’m thinking…

  10. I had God as VC and will be rolling the dice on Swan also….

    Just a quick hand , I had Broc McCauley as my emergency loophole ruckman.

    Thumbs up if I should keep his 88 and put cox back on the ground
    Thumbs down whether I should roll the dice on Zac Smith

  11. Anyone know what happened with bewick? Ive read he did his “back” but is it serious etc???

    Very dissapointed with my mid rooks, irons & bewick 🙁

  12. 322/3 (Sam Fisher is a gun) /Goddard as loophole captain

    Thumbs up = Keep Goddard 120 as captain
    Thumbs down = Take a chance on Boak vs GC

    Thoughts please?

    0

  13. Yeah I saw it happen you shouldn’t be dissapointed with his score as he was subbed off not sure if it’s serious?

  14. guys im thinking trading gazza to fyfe before gazzas price goes down and fyfes goes up i might get gazza later.

    Thumbs up = Do it!!
    Thumbs down = Dont do it!

  15. 287/3/N … or 407/3/God

    My biggest concern is ensuring that either Lower or Pederson plays -preferably both- so that my D7 doesn’t cop a donut.

    Am thinking of banking God’s score as I have had two awful weeks of captaincy and no obvious standout candidates that look likely to rip it up.

  16. bewick was looking ok before his back injury , hope his injury is a minor one for all the guys that,s got him .

  17. 206/Guess which 2/Swan Have God as V/C but will roll the dice on Swan anyway, greed is good, and so glad I left Bewick on the bench, hope hes OK though.
    Think I will try and Ad some Cock to the team, hes performing too well and worth the injury risk. Did anyone see the damp eyes after the Bugle played before the game last night? Brought a shiver to my spine………

    0

  18. yep..ive taken a risk and traded in adcock this week ..has a low breakeven and his price should climb rapidly …put the vc on adcock , should I stick with adcocks score or go swan as captain ?

  19. 206/2/BJ (VC)

    Yep, in line with most. Have no idea idea whether to take BJ’s 120 or maybe go Swan. It’s going to do my head in today!!

    Bugger about Bewick, looked like he was in for a decent score. Depending on injury, might upgrade to Polec for $30k (oh the irony). Looks like Polec might be in the side for a while. He is a jet.

  20. Just a quick question, is there another partial tonight? When’s the full lockout this round? And while I’m at it, Cox for some VC next week, I’m guessing he’s the one?

    0

    0
  21. full lockout is at 3.15pm SATURDAY. There are no games today/tonight.

    PS: good call on cox next week, didnt realise there was another thursday game. He’s a lock!

    Might just focus on this round for now 🙂

  22. Skynews and a couple of other sources are saying Bewicks injury is actually a hamstring 🙁 hope theyre wrong

  23. yeah thanks DMAC ..swan should (fingers crossed) get more than 127 points , swan might be due for a low one and being greedy could also burn me ..

  24. traded N. Riewolt and C. Judd for C. Dawes and D. Mundy,,,a big risk but Riewolt again was dissapointing,,,hopefully Dawes and Mundy continue to rack up big scores,,,im only 49 points behind overall leader and thought it might be time to take a huge risk by dumping 2 absolute guns,,,also,,,it gives me more cash to trade in sandilands and hopefully A. Embley in the next few weeks,,,was it the right decision??,,,love to read your feedback

  25. not good news for the guys that have him , minor hamstring 2 -3 weeks .. rookies are starting to drop like flies ..coad last week out for 3 months .

  27. Gwilt, Roo and Goddard hey, same here. I’m in the same boat with Goddard, not really any other players to go with that I can see standing out beside maybe Pendles….I hope essendon try to at least tag Swan haha

  28. 202/2/ pendles

    Looking to palm off boak for a higher priced player, in trading him i have
    546K in the bank, should i trade him for murphy or watson?

    0

    0
  29. i know,,,,it was a big call but dont you agree that mundy and dawes are guns and are havin a season??,,,didnt want to get rid of Riewolt,,,and was really hard for me to dump Judd as im a Blues man,,,

  30. i know,,,,it was a big call but dont you agree that mundy and dawes are guns and are havin a great season??,,,didnt want to get rid of Riewolt,,,and was really hard for me to dump Judd as im a Blues man,,,

  31. mundy and dawes are decent players , but juddy and riewolt are proven players over the years and they both can rank up big scores , and both are building up as the season goes on .

  32. have got,,,A.Goodes,,,L.Tapscott,,,J. Darling,,,B. Smith,,,D. Swallow or D. Harris,,,to cover 5 of my 7 Freo / hawks players,,,and was thinkin about trading Broughton for C. Newman,,,and upgrading J. Lamb,,which was a huge mistake for somebody else,,,not sure who yet

  33. Didn’t you look at the fixtures?
    Mundy out next week and Dawes the following and you’re already loaded up with Dockers and Pies.
    Would have been fine had you waited two weeks ’til they’d both had their first byes.

  34. PA,,,thanks for your smart arse comments,,,Scatts,,,agree with what your saying, but thought i needed to take a risk,,,the saints are not playing like they havee been over the last few years,,,and dont look like they will this year,,,Dumping Judd is a massive gamble,,,but needed extra cash coz i want sandilands,,,

  35. looks like your gonna have to do a few trades next week if you want to avoid a couple zero’s. pav, fyfe, mundy, broughton, lower, franklin and rioli missing, plus a couple of your emergencies may not play! Also swan, pendles, krakeour and dawes missing the next week, it’s not looking good in terms of keeping pace with the leaders. That is unless you burn some trades, but all of them except lower and krak are keepers, so no point trading. I’m with Scatts regarding Roo and Judd

  36. I’m not trying to be smart, I’m just saying what everyone else is thinking, good luck but you should hold off on bringing in Sandi after next week imo.

  37. Harris is playing, Libba is on an extended bench and may become an emg. You would be well advised to wait till final teams are up before making your final choice.

    0

    0
  38. Have you made these two trades yet? Your language in your original post on this topic idicates that you have traded, yet, the link provided by PA that you agree is your team, has no mention of these trades.
    If you haven’t traded, then, you are now unable to trade Roo into Dawes until the end of the round, and, I am unsure as to why, in that case, you would be talking about them as completed trades.
    If you have traded, then why doesn’t the provided link reflect this change to your team?

    0

    0
  39. Agree completely with Deano’s call on not trading, but, I wonder if you would be better off not trading for either of the two you mentioned who shall have byes during SC finals and look towards a trade to say Montagna next week, Mitchell or Hodge the week after, or even Swan or Pendlebury the week after that.

  40. Ok thanks, been a bit (a lot) busy this week. And yeh, will do. Both rounds kinda lead into one though don’t they?

  41. Final teams for the doggies’ game aren’t finalised till tomorrow. I’m leaning towards Harris though just to play it safe. Poll leader at 6pm will earn my selection. 🙂

    0

    0
  42. That is rather inconvenient. You could select Libba, with Harris as the emg, but if someone else pulls out….
    I think you’d be wise to run with Harris.

  43. thanks for your thoughts boys,,,first,,,i said i would be looking at trading in sandilands over the next few weeks,,,secondly,,,i believe i will be able to cover round 6,,,and have also looked at round 7,,,with 4 pies players out,,,i will be able to cover them with Tapscott,,Goodes,,,Darling,,,and either Swallow or Harris,,i no what im doing is very risky,,,and it will either work to my advantage or it will be a total disaster,,,,,,thirdly,,in response to Happy Go Lucky,,i have def made those trades,,,not sure why its not showing on link, but PA put that link on,,,its def showing on mine,,,Im sorry PA for calling u a smart arse,,,i love this site,,,im on it every night,,and love reading all the comments that are written,,,im not saying i know better then anybody else,,,far from it,,,but i have made all my decisions after thoroughly reviewing the players that i think will give me a chance of competing with the rest of contenders,,,i have learnt so much about players in the last 6 months then i ever have before,,,i have made a few mistakes,,,last week i finished with 2407 points,,but only had 21 players playing,,with N. Lower being dropped,,and nobody on my bench that was playing,,,it probably cost me 1st position,,,all i needed was 49 points more to be first and im sure that Lower could have produced that,,,i have also been trying to think ahead and have constantly been looking at upcoming rounds to try and maximise points,,,but F$%k me,,,its hard,,,and thats what i love about it,,,on a final note,,,i value everybodys feedback who choose to respond to my comments / thoughts,,,coz its your expert opinion that i consider before any of my decisions,,,but dont hang me coz i got rid of Riewolt and Judd,,,i do believe that by changing them to the players that i have selected, and with the changes i want to make in the future,,,will give me the opportunity to continue to be competitive

  44. If you are wanting to upgrade a player try wait until round 7 (Collingwoods first bye).I think most teams will have at least Pendles OR Swan I defiently wasn’t going to have both at the start of the year but the way they are playing can you afford to not have them??

    0

    0
  45. I’m in the same boat with Boak, but I’m gonna wait till after this week. I’m looking at getting Watson or Mitchell. Watson’s next 5 weeks are against bottom sides so he should score well (he has a bye in there somewhere though) and Mitchell has been tearing in up (37 disposals last week). If i can afford Watson at the start of next week I will pick him up, if not I will have to wait another week with Boak since Hawthorn have their bye next week.

  46. Thanks Guys,
    It was, I was leaning toward Toy until looked at the averages for their last two games. Grimey slightly higher, but if JS is an issue Toy is the go.

    Other option was hold coad until hibberd plays two, but i figure i may as well make money in the meantime. I’ve only used 2 trades so far so as long as i dont have too many other calamities i think the trade now and trade another back rookie for hibberd down the track is what i’ll do

  47. A word to Nigola. Its great that your doing so well and you seem to enjoy the feedback and advice. However, I don’t recall seeing much in the way of comment from you in reply to others. Usually it works best with a bit of give and take. And is there a reason why you use so many commas?

  48. Thanks Omen for your comment,,,i havent been giving to much feedback coz this is only my second year doin supercoach and i felt that my comments / feedback / suggestions would not be of any help due to my lack of experience,,,but point taken,,,im happy to comment from know on,,,and hopefully can be of any assistance,,,and with commas,,,i really dont have any reason why i continue to put 3 commas all the time,,,my missus calls me the “Comma Man”,,,hope its not to annoying,,,once again,,,thanks for your thoughts,,,i think this site is the best going around for footy info and just footy discussions,,,

  49. Thanks guys for the likes and Deano for your comment, i have been looking at all the top 50 teams and confirmed that all the teams have pretty much the same players, and that there was only a difference of about 5-8 players that varied between teams, i also knew that the teams would change due to future trades, the gamble is if i dont make high risk changes know, i might only be keeping pace with the rest, i feel that by making these changes, pray to Jesus, Allah, & Buddah that my side doesnt get to many injuries or suspensions, that this tactic, which is very high risk and aggressive, put me in a position at an early stage of the season to be able to pull away from the rest and give me a bit of a lead, i know that there will be people thinkin im being too aggressive way to early, or that i have no idea what im doing, but i dont do anything cautious, i like to take the more aggressive / high risk approach, but then again, who won the race out of the tortoise and the Hare??

  50. Was just about to mention the commas. How many trades have you already made mate?
    Taking Judd and Roo out would be considered as unnecessary by most. If i were you, i wouldn’t take out Broughton next week, save your trades for downgrading your rookies, not swapping your proven stars for others.

    0

    0
  51. The reasons why the trades ain’t shown is because we’re still in lockout mode and once all the scores are calculated for R5, you won’t know til Tuesday night when the comp re-opens for R6.

  52. please help guys.
    had suban so have to make the trade. i have two issues. who to trade suban out for and where to use the extra money.
    I was thinking suban out of toy, and then krakouer out for fyfe in the forward line. The only problem with that is then i will have 6 rookies in my backline.
    Help and advice please!!! Thanks

  53. DEF – Gibbs, Heppell, Hurley, Goddard, Duigan, Batchelor, A.Otten, (J.Grimes, Suban, Pederson)

    MID – Swan, Pendlebury, Curnow, Boyd, J.Selwood, D.Swallow, (Pittard, Liberatore, Harris)

    RUCK – Sandilands, Z.Smith (Cox, Petrie)

    FWD – Franklin, Yarran, Rioli, Didak, Higgins, A.Krakouer, C.Knights, (Darling, McKernan, C.Richardson)

    Pretty weak backline, but i am happy with everywhere else. What to do with Suban?

    0

  54. have made 8 trades, i know thats heaps already, but i think i only need to make a few more before i feel that i have a stable side including bench, i also have to consider finals, if i make them, that i’ll have to get rid of Gibbs, Heppell, Duigan, J. Watson, Curnow & Warnock, but if get rid of them throughout the year, it will hopefully leave me a few trades spare if any injuries / suspensions arise, Dumping Riewolt & Judd was pretty extreme, im a huge Judd fan and found it hard to do, but i felt i had to do this to free up some cash for potential future trades like Sandilands, I agree with advice on dumping Broughton, and will not doing that, i have gone through all rounds, and as long as nothing major happens to current players,that round 6 is going to the one that might cause me some problems, so im going to have to make 2 more changes next week to cover round 6, then hopefully, not to many more. downgrading rookies later in the year to free up some more cash is also something that i have considered.

  55. Think maybe save the trade for this week, and downgrade to a rookie (keep an eye on hibberd this week) . Maybe even swap him for Lower? (extended bench this week, got a feeling he’ll slot straight in for suban but)
    how much money do you already have?

  56. Jack Riewoldt. roughly $343,000 and a breakeven of 103 this week so possibly another price drop this week. Is it time to start considering him?
    Didak is nearly a steal($440,000) as well, especially if he were to drop to $400,000 should drop again this week with a break even of 115.
    Cam Bruce has a break even of 175, and at $398,000, should we start considering to put him in over the enxt couple of weeks?

    0

    0
  57. $11500 remaining. But fyfe will go up heaps as he has got a break even of something like -20. And krakouer might be out of the side for brad dick. I am definitely trading suban out for someone. It is either lower, toy or grimes. Thinking toy because he is more likely to keep position and then have more cash to spend the next week when thinking of getting jobe in because he will smash it.

    0

    0
  58. Put Toy in. All class and should go up quite a bit.
    Your trade for fyfe sounds good, worth making this week for sure!
    Im considering giving krakouer the boot myself..

  59. bruce is too old, he is like brock mclean. wont do well. And wait till riewolt actually starts performing before you bring him in. It will be like last year, didnt turn onj until halfway through the season.

  60. Here’s my trade dilemma.
    Krakouer out. Pitt (or someone less than $140,000) in
    Knights out. Riewoldt in.
    Thumbs up if you think i should do it
    Thumbs down if its stupid.

    0

    0
  61. thanks mz. i love this site. great help.
    also, anybody with essendon or adelaide players, keep them as they have amazing draws coming up, especially essendon. Jobe will average about 160, if he keeps kicking goals.get happell in if you havnt already

    0

    0
  62. i think keep knights, because he has a nice few games coming up including st kilda (i dont rate them) melbourne, gold coast, kangaroos and west coast. i think leave him until there and then trade him before bulldogs in round 13.

    But i think krakouer, pitt trade is great, maybe keep money in bank(i know some people disagree on that)

    0

    0
  63. really, krakouer was only in my team to make money off him, and ive made little of that so far. although he has a break even of 27 (which is low) but pitt has -21 BE and can only improve, so ill sleep on it tonight.

    0

    0
  64. do you have swanny or pendles? or anybody else that might score more than buddy? definitely change though

    0

    0
  65. agree with the bruce comment. but still my dilemma lies with riewoldt. although hes playing my beloved north melbourne, he should kick a tonne against us, making that 103 BE seem ever so much more likely..

    0

    0
  66. yeah your probs right. especially against north. could be a gamble. might pay off or might make you crumble. i cant help you any more, sorry, your choice here

  67. hmm not much more i can think of. Coad was looking like a brilliant pick until injury struck. Not much else immediate gold i can think of besides fyfe, adcock (boats pretty much sailed) and moloney (BE of 12!)
    keep an eye on hibberd but as a possible downgrade target for one of your rookies. watch out for didak’s price change this week, an elite st kilda midfielder (dal santo, montagna..) could be reaching a near basement price this season (i mean, how much worse could they get?)
    give brian lake a couple weeks to drop in price as a potential upgrade target, and mitch wallis! if he plays this week, definitely should be considered in 2 weeks time.

    0

    0
  68. i cant see why he wont play, he hasnt played as bad as everyones saying he is, had a little bit of a sticker last week, then got subbed on for the last quarter a few weeks ago and got 10 ods possies!

    0

    0
  69. Buddy as (C) against Geelong? big call there, definitely not a risk i would take.. if you have swan, he’s just so much more of a safer bet!

    0

    0
  70. hibberd, wallis, tzungu, ben jacobs, talia and coad (when he comes back) all look like great downgrade options when back from injury – if they can break into the team. thanks for the help mz, will definitely keep those tips in mind

    0

  71. So… Karmichael Hunt, a $117,700 defender at the beginning of the year experienced his first price rise this week… which was $100.
    with a BE of 26, we could be witnessing history. Hunt would have to be the cheapest player in supercoach to ever experience a price drop!
    anyone else find that funny?

    0

    0
  72. hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha. shows how bad he is!!!!! he should be dropped. if anybody still has him in their team, they are sooooooooooooooooooooooooo dumb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  73. Wallis certain to make his debut will be a tasty downgrade target after game 2 with good form.
    Brad Scott must be on morphine not making changes to that soft squad. They need an injection of grunt and who better that Cammy Pederson. Wright and Hansen are similar to Watts in that they have plenty of ability but unfortunately too many people have told them so for too long. Reminds me of the Eagles selection policy in 09/10 with McKinley/Hansen/Staker/Swift etc.
    RB you must be pulling your hair out!

  74. Grimes is on the bubble at a cheaper price. Other than that you’ll have to invest some cash for a Smith etc.

  75. Suban to Toy and Krak to Fyfe looks good to me. Your backline looks alright with Goddard, Gibbs, Grimes, Hurley and some decent performing rookies (Heppell and Duigan). With Coad out, Toy should get a good run of games as well.

    One other thing to look at is how many trades you’ve used already??

  76. Hun quote:

    “Teams playing on Anzac Day will name their final line-ups tomorrow.
    Hawthorn and Geelong, who play on Easter Tuesday, don’t have to announce their final 22 until Sunday.”

    I’m assuming Monday’s teams will not be named ’til 1700 tomorrow as usual which will not help us.

  78. Meant it Scatts – after the glory of 202nd in Rd 1, I’ve fallen back to 11000th so way too far back for O/A. Failed this year due to not having Swan and my PODs of McGlynn, Duffield and Hurn not performing.

  81. Btw the current leader doesn’t have Roo and Judd either, so you’re reasoning isn’t completely correct. Also I don’t why you haven’t got A D/M in your mids as a link to cover for byes/injuries/droppings, you have 5 DPP D/M in your back line but none in the mids.

  82. looks like i’ll be holding on to coad for now.
    no sideways trades seem worth it at this stage, i already have toy.
    looking at hibberd and pederson but both not solid job security at this stage. in fact both yet to be employed.
    bendigo bombers coach said hibby was likely to stay in vfl to gain more match fitness. in the herald this morning…

  84. I am thinking of trading Foley to Libba, and Krak to J Reewold. What do you guys think? The alternative is to do nothing and save 2 trades.

  85. To PA,

    Im flattered that you have taken an interest in my side, FYI, the difference b/w the current top 10 teams is only 89points,out of the top 10, Judd is in 7 /10 teams and N. Riewolt is in 8 / 10, so, in my opinion, the reasoning behind the changes i’ve made has merit, secondly, i agree with your statement regarding my lack of DPPs, i knew from the start that it might become a problem during the season, but decided to work around the rounds coz i thought the players i selected would be more valuable in the long run. The players i have noted for possible future trades will hopefully minimise the lack of flexibility i currently have. EG:
    Higgins / Chapman / R. Murphy. Mate, Im not sure what your problem is, or what i have done to make your comments sound so negative, im happy to debate your opinion if i feel that i’ve made the right decision, but i would also like to point out that the info and comments that other viewers express on this site have been such a help, that i dont think i would be in the position i am now….on a final note, Im happy to respond to any of your comments, whether they be constructive or not……. in my opinion, your comments make this site even better, i just hope the boys dont think that where turning this site into a womens magazine with all this tit for tat stuff…I eagerly await your rsponse.

  86. he only played his first game last week, and i doubt you would want to debut a player on anzac day. i reckon if not next week the week after for sure, only reason ive held onto him, and the fact hirdy loves him!

  87. His breakeven is 98 so hes pretty close to bottoming out, he’s already dropped 100k off his starting price, id wait to see how he scores this week and then jump on him, theres a chance he wont make the BE and you’ll get a further discount!

    Plus richmond have the lions at the G next week so he should have a pretty good night out against them.

  88. Good luck Nigola, if it pays off you’ll do well, but I don’t think it will

    Anyone else struggling with which rookies to put on the field?

    I’m going with Curnow & D Swallow and leaving A Krak, Libba and Harris on the bench

    In Defence I’m going Otten & Toy with Lower and Staneley on the bench

    Not 100% sure this is the right way to go, thoughts???

  89. Agreed, Buddy is on fire right now but Geelong wont make it easy.

    I’m tossing up a similar decision, i’ve got Goddard’s 120 in the bank as VC, but i’m tempted to roll the dice on Buddy. It might end up being Pendles for me to be honest… but then again, he didnt do so well against Carlton’s midfield, and Essendon are no slouch in the middle. Though call.

    If I was you I probably roll the dice, 106 isnt quite captain material.
    Let us know what you go with.

  90. I’m not trying to be negative in my comments more showing you where to improve your team to keep it competitive against the rest that’s all. I’m truly sorry that you’ve taken my opinion the wrong way but you’ve got to admit we all need some luck in this game, don’t you?

  91. thanks ARC, i hope it does pay off, but if it doesnt, i’ll know better for next year………………im also struggling abit with rookies, my main concern is that i’ll get a 0 if Krak doesnt play, cant decide on B smith or N. Lower, and abit worried about C. Richardson.

    Do you think N. Lower will play, be made the sub or not make final 22?

    0

    0
  92. Lower on the field I reckon Arc. He averages higher than otten and has been used as a sub already by Freo. His other two scores were 80 & 110. I’ve got lower and otten on the field with toy emg.

    0
  93. no dramas mate, i been enjoying our conversations, not sure who nicko’s refering to in his comment, but he’s right, hopefully the 2 changes i made which started all this do work and dont have to rely only on luck to pay off,

  95. why would you upgrade otten already. he has only gone up in price once. seriously, some people waste trades and rookies

  96. used 1 not including the two i am going to use for this week to trade toy and fyfe in for suban and kraks. so three going into round 5

  97. Because Adcock is better and his price is going to go up a lot faster than Otten’s. So the net result of waiting for Otten to go up more and then getting Adcock would mean a net loss compared to doing the trade now.
    Plus I still have five rookie defenders. The mistake was no going with my gut and getting Adcock from the start.
    I’m happy with the trade – i’ve only used 2 to date and after I trade Coad out today i’m happy to leave the team alone for a whole (barring LTIs)
    Thats my reasoning – not just randomly firing off trades.

    0

    0
  98. The other option later would be downgrading Otten to get the cash to upgrade to Adcock, burning two trades – the net result here is better, less trades used, less cash spent, more SC Points on the field = winning

    0

  99. I already did, to great success. If Otten tops 125 this week I will eat my hat, call myself a monkey’s uncle and perform any other figurative humiliations that spring to mind.

  101. Hun this morning:
    “A brawl early in his career has come back to haunt Collingwood star Dane Swan, with a security guard now suing him.
    It is the second time the Magpie champ has been sued over the 2003 incident.
    Jesse James has launched legal action against Swan, claiming Swan was involved in a “gang bashing” at Federation Square that left him with facial injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder.
    The writ is expected to be served within days.”
    Swan’s management announced this morning that he intends to immediately take an indefinate leave of absence from playing duties with Collingwood to concentrate on defending this latest litigation.

  103. haha no worries Scatts, always happy to help.

    And Ollie, aren’t you talking about trading Krakwhore? His price and performance are not that different from Otten’s so its pretty much the same as my trading Otten..
    If it helps your decision, i couldn’t be happier. So if you can afford the upgrade and it doesnt affect your long term cash prospects – go for it!

  104. Defence (4) – Otten, Heppell, Duigan, Batchelor, Pederson and Toy

    Midfield (2) – Curnow, Liberatore, Harris, Pittard and Swallow

    Ruck (1) – Smith, Petrie

    Forward (1) – Knights, McKernan, Richardson

    Which rookies should i put on the field. The number in brackets is how many i need on the field, and the names are the options. Thanks

  108. Rusty just some advise for me would be great, Are you going to trade out Bewick seeing he is out for 3 – 4 weeks or are you going to hold on and not waste a downgrade target and a trade?
    thanks
    and as well that is a very strong lineup 🙂

  110. Yeah i reckon i may downgrade him to either Wallis (depending on how he goes and if he plays next week) or Hibberd(Depending on if he gets a game)

    The main reason for this is that he wasn’t earning us that much cash either way

    0

    0
  111. Sorry just one more thing Rusty, I have lester and i didnt trade him out this week (i dont know why) but should i trade out Bewick and Lester out or just one of them. Because isnt it alright to have just 1 non scoring bench? I think may by just lester out for Pederson (if he plays) or someone else. because he is out for longer that Bewick and when they are both back Bewick has better job securtity. cheers

  112. thanks eddie betts! i probably sound stupid, but that is just what i think. you are probably right with the comparison of kraks and otten, but i still think i should keep otten. That is my opinion and my opinion is probably different to most people. that is the thing i like about this site: people can put their opinion on, and then other people can put their own opinion on about the same thing. thanks guys

  114. Yeah in my opinion its fine to have a non scoring bencher if you dont need him to play, as long as
    a) they are scoring decent(Which Lester was)
    b) Have good job security (Again Lester does)
    and c) Are out for a minimal amount of time

    only positive i can think of is that they will rise in price..

  133. 979 / 11 / banked bj’s 120

    Disappointed with the Adelaide boys (Knights & Otten) but confident both with be scoring better soon. Also Duigan, but it’s his first year in the system and only sh!t score since R1. And Gibbs is a gun player that in the last couple of weeks hasn’t been showing what he’s capable of. And also extremely disappointed with the lack of sex iVe had recently.

    Happy with “the c’ow” in tonight’s game, and that Krak got dropped (so matera’s 127 gets brought into play).

  134. Not a fan of Jack….

    Why not trade Krak for Cam Richardson and make some profit?

  135. 528/7/Pendebury (again)

    have made alot of stupid decisions this week, just been too busy with Easter etc!
    ~ No-one available to name as emergency in my FWD line except Isaak Smith who isn’t even playing, so didn’t list him as an *E
    ~ MID bench I can only *E Conca. So I assume if I have no FWD emergencies then I’m getting 2 big fat zeros in my FWD line… and only one emergency on my mid bench, too, should someone need it in my mids.
    ~ got Krakhead AND Prestia on the ground. What happened to Prestia, was he just dropped or what? (can’t see him on the injury/susp list?)
    ~My rucks are Sandi (ok) and Vardy (urgh).
    ~ My other 2 *E’s are Robbie Tarrant and Andy Otten.

    = Small score for me this week I think!!!

  138. 1132/11/BJ

    Banked BJ’s 120. Traded in J.Tippett for McKernan to move Droopy into the FWDs. Flipped a coin between McKernel and WoodKrak – hello Crispy Creme!

    I’ve worked out that coaching mistakes in the first 3 rounds (based on a reasonableness assessment) cost me a total of 178 points and 13k positions. Now add McKernel’s 58.

    Sigh.

    On the plus side had Stanley, Swallow, Harris (EMG for Jack for C loophole), Smith and Mateeeera on the field.

  139. That’s the $50,000 question!! I suspect this problem is not going away any time soon. Some golden tips about rookie selection (when choosing between Player A or Player B) include:

    Weekly Team Selection Decisions

    1. Team Announcement – Wait for teams to be named before making final decisions about your starting 22 (difficult when teams aren’t named before lockout, I know).

    1a. Injury List – check to see if your player has torn his hamstring off the bone before putting him on the field.

    2. Sub Risk – most teams seem to apply a rotation policy for subs so its worthwhile seeing if a player has recently been sub. Determine the Sub Risk factor and go with a player that has the lower risk.

    3. Interchange Order – I/C4 – not a hard rule but, I/C players 1-4 are not named in alphabetical order which suggests the player named at I/C 4 has a high Sub Risk. Similarly, players named at I/C 5, 6, 7 are likely Emergencies.

    4. Opponent – which player is likely to have the weaker opponent?

    Longer Term Trade/Purchase Decisions

    5. Job Security – for longer term decisions, which player is likely to play more games throughout the year?

    6. Don’t make week-to-week decisions about your rookie purchases. Don’t just buy someone because they’ll make a few $K this week.

    7. Cashcow or Keeper – decide what your strategy is and stick with it. Are you buying this guy to make money or to score points?

    8. Don’t trade whilst drunk!

    Did I miss anything?

  140. Sounds like you’re spending a lot of time making calculations and wondering what might have been. Better to think more about the future than wasting time stuck in the past.

    Think about what’s coming up and what your strategy will be, for example:
    – Who’s making money and when will I buy/sell/upgrade them?
    – Who’s coming off the injury list that might be well priced (e.g Mzungu, Scully (?)
    – What will my team look like for league finals?
    Here are the Final Byes Rd 21 NMFC; Rd 22 GEEL; Rd23 CAR; Rd24 ESS
    – Am I still kidding myself that I’m in the hunt for the $50,000? Maybe its time to apply Giller’s Law (aim for top 10,000) or set your own realistic target (e.g get higher than you are at end Rd5) or just focus on your League. These will be different strategies.
    – Who am I playing next week? Who do they have in their team? What are the PODs? How can I psyche them out? Send a few txt msgs through the week…

  141. You might be onto something here Deano. No doubt it will distract him to some degree. Maybe not immediately but as the court appearance draws nearer you’d expect he’ll be busy with meetings and lawyer jargon. Not the best headspace for preparing to make big SC scores. Anyone know when the court hearing will be?

  142. Here are my late trades sung to the tune of “My Way” by Frank Sinatra

    Late trades? I’ve had a few, but then again too few to mention
    I traded Foley as he was poo and brought Little Libba through without exemption
    I gave Krak the flick and picked up David Zaharakis along the supercoach highway
    And more, much more than this, I had Brandon Matera at F7 and did it my way.

    Harris instead of Swallow = +16
    Stanley instead of Toy = +30
    Otten instead of McKernan = +7
    Total 180pts

  147. Thanks Omen. Trying to better my decision making by looking at past mistakes. I look at my selections, EMGs and trades, and based on the available information and my knowledge at the time, would a reasonable person have made those decisions?

    E.G. Rd 1 I picked Bewick over Heppell. Cost me 39 points. The more reasonable decision would have been Heppell base don preseason and blog talk.

    Rd 3 I chose Otten (44) instead of Duigan (85). Otten scored 67 in Rd 1 and played Freo at home, while Duigan scored 59 & 78 and played pies. I consider my selection to be reasonble at the time so can’t complain against points lost.

    It can be a bit subjective. Sometime you have to go with your gut. Plus I’m finding that I’m unreasonable…

  151. i would hope 2 upgrade to g.ablett….maybe a switch with curnow later on the season & didak with his dpp will come in real handy considering he can go 4ward or back & collingwood finish there last bye in round 13

    0
  159. @ PA….I was thinkin that the price drop 4 Ablett would be big & that he’ll be affordable later on with curnow goin up so i switched with a cheaper premium & pocket the money to upgrade my rookie into another premium once their price rise goes up….risky but my strategy is buy as many premiums you can….at bargain buy prices.
    last years winner had nearly all premiums on field last 5 rounds….even with a donut in last two rounds the winner still won cuz his team was able 2 score big numbers cuz he didnt hav any crappy rookies or underperforming mid range players

  160. Indeed, we can learn from our mistakes. My problem is, I’ve made so many 🙂

    I’m not suggesting we shouldn’t look back but sometimes this comes at the expense of looking forward and planning. Then again, we all know, the best plans can go astray!

    Like Richardson tonight – Sub rule is really ripping the heart out of SC.

    Dusty Martin obviously hasn’t heard about the second year blues.

    And I had Richardson who scored 11 this week.

    Petrie + Richardson = 160.
    If I was offered 80 for each at the start of the day I would have taken it.

    Guns in the pipeline but Lower is another sub risk 👿 I’ll be happy with 2100 from here.

  167. 1478/14/BJ

    Pretty happy with that score so far on a league bye round with mostly premiums coming up. But, just knowing that WoodKrak will be shouting me a Krispy Kreme tomorrow is doing my head in.

    C’mon Mick, play the ex-con.

    Happy with the Petrie Dish, Goddard, Curnow, D Swallow, Matera and McCauley

    Disappiointed with Gibbs, N Riewoldt, Duigan, Otten, Toy and Richardson

    Guns still to come so hopefully 2200 is still a possibility

  169. Gutted that North lost (again) but stoked to get home from the game and check the SuperCoach scores and see that my 3 players from tonight’s game combined for a whopping 392. Thanks Dids, Dish and Spitza …. 🙂

    Makes me 1462 and still have Pendles (C), Selwood, Buddy, Sandi, Higgins, Broughton and Heppell. SHOULD be my best score for the season.

  174. terrible… ranked 1005th before this round, not looking forward to it after this week is over…

    currently have

    873/11

    last minute change mckernan to bench, richardson on… 11 points.
    last minute change harris on bench, swallow on ground…
    from the start but still bad,, chucked smith in for cox out this week, and left petrie on bench cause of his previous scores..

    so thats a 149 and a 107 sitting on my bench..

    i have 8 blokes left i expect a minimum of 100 from, and 3 blokes i expect 50-90.

    not great. but i got fair few top blokes coming back in… hope im not the only one struggling.

    Copping a doughnut thanks to Krak being dropped (had Tappy, Darling and Goodes missing from the bye).
    Richardsons score of ELEVEN was disgracful. Subbed or not.
    Gibbs continues to let me down. Should’ve taken Lids.
    Duigan back to earth with a 53.

  197. If they don’t do something about the SC sub rules, at least by next year, I won’t be coming back!

    They should introduce a change* mid season and then calculate SC Compo claims for each of us. We’ll get a bonus score added equal to our previous losses.

    * several good ideas have been put forward by others in earlier posts.

    PA, you’d know, where and when can I find out who the sub is?
    Hope its Libba and not Lower?

    Can you find it anywhere sooner than http://www.afl.com.au/teams/tabid/16469/default.aspx ??

  201. It depends on whether Mundy scores more than 118.
    If so, you’re a genius and changing from Reiwoldt/Judd to Dawes/Mundy was the right thing to do, this week.
    If not, then you’ve just burnt two sideways trades, against all the “expert advice” (Omen don’t consider himself an expert by the way) but he can take the p!ss.

    Omen Rd1 – Rd4 Riewolt 293 + Rd 3 Bye 97avge = 390
    Judd = 421 = AVGE = 202

    Dawes = 442

  203. Having a SHOCKING WEEK. Yep, Richardson, 11, yep, Broughton, out, awesome, Boak with only a 74, coooool, and Gibbs and Nick Rie again a sub 100 score. AND Swan not delivering with the captaincy.

  204. Only slightly. Omen predicts Roo and Judd will be more consistent with higher averages in the end. I’ll ask Wendy (my hot stats chick) to keep an eye on it throughout the season and we’ll see where we end up.

    OK, I’ll shut up about it now. Except if Mundy has a shocker tonight, mwahaha!!!

    1 small note to self… Don’t F*&K around with your team playing vice captain/captain loophole bullshit then go away for the weekend and forget to nominate a forward line emergency. Krackwhore=Donut. No emergency=Matera and 127 points you dumb shit!!!!!!!!!!! I’d be sitting on 2042 with 3 to play!!

    rant over.

    With Franky, Stevie J, Joelwood and Pig (the suckling not the pink variety) to come would be very happy if I could sneak 2100 after a very ordinary start.

    Had to cop Krak and Richo on the forward line plus Duigan, Zac Smith, McKernan and Gibbs very disappointing.

    Thank the SC Gods for Freo again this week.

  224. 1808/19/Swan

    Think it’ll be my lowest score for a long long time. Annoyed with my bench decisions this week. Matera’s 127 warming the pine and copping an 11 for Richardson and 41 for Pitt. Same story with Lower’s 106 and Harris’ 107.

    0

    0
  225. 2 Trades for a gain of 20 points and some cash this week you’ve come out just in front but that’s not the bigger picture is it, wait till next week to see if the trades pay off, Good Luck Good Night.

  226. 1680 / 18 / Goddard.
    If you cut out that doughnut, and Richo’s 11, it’s not a bad score.
    Buddy, Hodgey, Bartel, and Selwood to come…. It’s gonna hurt next week.

    0

    0
  227. 2052/21/BJ

    Considering WoodKrak’s Krispy Kreme – I’ll take it!

    Looking for 2150 minimum with Buddy to come. Lower’s last minute goal was extremely handy! Ward’s 77 has now convinced me beyond a doubt to trade him next week for Coln Sylvia. That will allow me to move WoodKrak into the mids where he cant hurt my team anymore. No mids affected by next weeks bye. I might also do a sneaky Bewick to Polec for $33k for extra cover.

    very happy with Boyd over Cross this year i think he has taken control over the doggies. And im an essendon supporter and ive only got Hepple but F#*@ me he is a gun, im so happy we got him, i hope hibberd goes half as good in next couple of weeks.

  232. 1807 / 19 / BJ

    Lower on pine hurts but Broughton not bringing it means I’ll garner Powertool’s 97. Will cop an Easter Egg in my forward line because I chose Tapscott to come on so I could take BJ’s VC score and then Krak didn’t get named. But with Delicious, The Burger, and Joelwood to come I should still be able to scrape into respectability. Although I do admit that 2200 is probably now a pipedream.

  233. 1624 / 19 / Bat Man (N)

    still have enright,joelwood & the buddy show to come,
    used the emergency loophole in my ruck with mccauley and with krak not getting a gig i get materas 127. Fingers crossed the last 3 boys reach there predicted scores and i should be in for a 2300+

  238. Is anyone else sick of people thinking up all these stupid nicknames for players and leaving people to try and figure it out. I’m happy with shorthand like Sandi and the like,

    But who the F*** is The Burger and why do you think Joelwood and Deliciious is any easier to type then Selwood or Rioli. You’re not Rex Hunt and there’s a reason he’s not calling footy anymore

  239. 2134 with Selwood and Buddy to play today.

    Been luck as Broughton and Krakouer both didn’t play but were covered by Lower’s 106 and Matera’s 127.

    Will be my best score of the season, shame it’s a non-league round!!

    Disappointed with Gibbs and N. Riewoldt but will stick with them.

  240. Delicious is a pretty common nickname for Rioli. GAJ or Jesus works well for Ablett. Some of the more subtle ones do make it a lil hard like Dish (Petrie) but generally i think people’s use of the nicknames is pretty good.

    And BAM, how can you critique people’s use of nicknames when you go by the name BAM – i assume that is not your birth certificate name?!?!

  241. He played ruck that day and Petrie and Goldstein both came back into the team the next week. At the time (and still now) he was behind them for a ruck spot and behind Thompson, Grima and Tarrant for the key defender positions. After Tarrant’s efforts the last few weeks it’d be safe to assume that Pederson will slot into the backline next week at the expense of Tarrant.

  247. You’re right MC, this is politcally incorrect. But since when did this site become PC. There are plenty of things that are unPC about SCTalk. I’m not sure but perhaps you’re suggesting there is a racist overtone here. If that’s what you’re getting at, I think you’re wrong. We discriminate against all players who return crap scores or for any other reason cause SC discontent regardless of race, colour, sex or religion. This week he’s BumKrak, next week he might just be Krak-a-Jack. Don’t take it personally.

  249. I received my Blues Membership pack including bumper stickers – “No Passengers” (2 large, 2 small). I’ve found good use for two of them:

    Large – goes well on the Falcon XR6 – 3 kid seats in the back leaves room for “No Passengers”.

    Small – goes well on the back of my Yamaha R6 – at 250 kph – “No Passengers”

    Any ideas for the other two?

    If I get (your predicted) 2144, I think ill hold my spot in top 200. If Bartel, Stevie J and Buddy go nuts and its closer to 2200, I think ill stay top 100. Ill let you know OMEN!

  253. Ryan Lester has a LTI (foot). He’ll be out for 6-8 weeks I believe. As for ROHAN Bewick, 3-4 weeks with a back injury.

  254. There is no way you will stay that high I’m afraid…. You will drop at least 1-2000 places with a sub 2200 score.

  258. Scored 2132. A good result in my book.

    One terrible trade of Johncock out (120) for Murphy in (45). But hope it proves to be ok in the long run.

  259. 2057.
    Worst score of the year.
    Richo’s eleven and Krakwhores doughnut didn’t help.
    Not too mention Hodgeys 47. Why did I get him in there? 🙁 🙁
