Currently pending a few rookies so guys like Allan, Erasmus and Hall could easily make way for a Reidy. Would love to try and get FOS in but not sure if it’ll be possible. Any advice or potential modifications are welcome.
Good team Matt. I think FOS is a better option than Langford. Whether you have him as flex or on field is up to you. Also, Erasmus didn’t do much on the weekend, his job security might be questionable. Maybe there is an opportunity there to move a mid/ fwd to Erasmus and open up a mid slot for FOS.
Good luck….M
Hope you viewed the game yesterday. Rivers looked lost as to what his roll was. Seemed to be 6th in on rotation. Landon seemed to be preferred as the 4th, I also expect Pickett to be more involved around the stoppages this year.
After years of prep I think I’ve cracked it, this one’s a keeper.
New approach for 2025, we all know how this thing ends so I thought I would get ahead of the game this year and name the ultimate SC Gods team two weeks out from round zero.
I think we have a good balance here, great midfield, strong defense, potential in the forward line and the flex is a real live wire who may pick up DPP if he ever plays again.
Captain and vice are absolute locks and the SC Gods should guarantee zero coverage for the early byes. I’m a bit concerned about the midseason byes as several key players may return.
TU: I have dropped all of these players from my starting lineup
TD: Back to the drawing board
Comments: Let me know your thoughts noting new injuries may force their way in at any time in the next seven months. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
I’m torn with this team. I love having the three ruck set up, but it feels a bit weak in the backs and mids. Gawn can become Neale (love his early run of games).
Garcia is also someone I might try to upgrade. With all these injuries with the Saints, I’m concerned he will lose his job when Sinclair and co. come back.
Looked at Rivers but I’m not sold on his role in yesterday’s game.so I would go Perryman or I’ve really liked Bergman’s last couple of games as a POD. All the teams are getting so similar.
DEF: sheez NWM Sic Perryman Prior Leake (Allan Reid)
MID: Naicos Brayshaw Rozee Oliver Cerra NOD Langford LAshcroft (Sheldrick Hall Knevitt)
RUCK: Xerri Meek (Boyd)
FWD: JHF Macrae Sanders Daniel Garcia Hewett (Stone Davidson)
FLEX: Tsatas
CASH: $44,300
Moved richards to Rozee as a nice POD well before this weekend and he just went and stuffed that all up hahah 19% owned now.
Not sold on my R2 either. It’s been a revolving door of English, Meek and TDK. I just don’t trust TDK to stay solo ruck for long enough but his ceiling is huge.
Real chance i start 2 of short, Roberts & perryman or even all 3 but that could go bad.
Not thrilled with this side in general to be completely honest.. round 0 will be huge.
Heard they’re just being super precautionary. Confident he’ll play round 1 and can push 80 if his body holds up. Very handy at $260k given the lack of rookie defenders.
Team is good but a bunch of those rookies aren’t happening, nor are there replacements.
Travaglia, Allan and El Hawli are all no’s. Grab Reid and Bice but personally I’d want them strictly bench only, so another premo could be warranted.
Midfield is excellent, obviously with that big spend. There’s some higher priced rookies who look solid, so maybe thin out then, grab the CG and bolster your DEF line.
FWD rookies bar Davidson (and maybe Hewett) are all also no’s.
Premo selection is fire though. Gw. Anderson, Brayshaw, Dawson, tick, tick, tick.
With the increase in the number of injuries, sides will be looking quite different across the board. It will be more fun this year with more difference between sides.
DEF: Sheezel, Holmes, Roberts, Perryman, Milera, Sinn (Allan, Reid)
I don’t think the first 4 need more explanation than what others have already provided. I don’t love the Milera and Sinn picks – there is very much a lack of def rookies, and given Allan’s performance, I don’t have confidence putting him on the ground. Reid should get games and increase in price.
MID: Daicos, Serong, Merrett, Oliver, O’Sullivan, O’Driscoll, Tsatas, Ashcroft (Langford, Sheldrick, Knevitt)
Very different line to what I had initially, but Daicos, Serong and Merrett all seem quite safe choices. I am not entirely comfortable picking Oliver, but given high ownership it eases it. There are plenty of rookies to select from here – hopefully a couple that I have can increase in price for upgrade season.
RUCK: Xerri, TDK (Boyd)
Pitt being out gives me more confidence picking TDK.
FWD: JHF, Macrae, Smith, Daniel, Kako, Berry (Hewtt, Erasmus)
For me, the ceiling of JHF increased with the news of Butters. Macrae, Smith and Daniel all provide massive value. Rookies are subject to selection.
FLEX: Lynch
If he plays, and if he can get one or two big scores through a bag of goals, will increase – but the Tigers are gonna be in for a long year.
I kinda want Sheldrick in there too, but I’m not sure who to sacrifice or downgrade to bring him in. Because a lot of the current peeps in my team are set-in-stone choices
G’day fellow coaches, can’t wait to for season 2025 to start and for hopefully another good year of SC!
This is my side at the moment. Any advice or potential modifications are welcome.
we still have round 0 to sort out a few places, mainly the rookies
A few ‘minor’ changes from last time.
Mills and Bont injuries forced a bit of a re-shuffle. Brayshaw was in and out of my team, so he takes Bont’s place and Mills will go down to a rookie (there seems to be a few defence rookies now)
After watching the Adelaide game, Dawson and Rankine came in and Peatling out. Rankine more midfield time is real, and it was Peatling who was pushed forward and at his price he needed to average 100.
Smith made way for Rankine, even though Smiths sore knee wasn’t his ACL, it is still a concern he won’t be flat chat, plus his bye.
Sanders just gets the nod ahead of Parker and Smith. We didn’t see either over the weekend, but we will see Smith round 0, with Bont getting injured i’m seeing a bump for Sanders.
I didn’t like that Soldo was playing with Sweet, but i did like that TDK was solo with Pitto to miss 6 weeks. Sweet was an easy swap to TDK.
I have faded both Xerri and Sheezel. It will be tough watching North games until i can get them in. North have a tough start to the year, so that is my shark move for the start of the year.
Reidy gets a start in the flex, didn’t like his game yesterday but he was against Gawn. He has a nice start against Geelong round 1, Sydney then West coast, plus 3 of the first 4 at home. Our old mate Flynn looked ok yesterday and there is a chance he gets squeezed in there.
the main thing i’m not sure about is these expensive rookies. there seems to be quite a few of them who all look fantastic. Never been a fan to pay up for the expensive rookies if cheaper ones are avaliable.
the arguement is cheaper rookies will always make more cash, but the expensive rookies give better onfield scores. With best 18 for rounds 2, 3 and 4 do we need them?
Hi Derek, you really need Sims in there at R3 for Reidy to be viable at Flex (or you are stuck between Boyd and Reidy and nobody else until you burn a trade.
Keeping Allan after the -12SC is interesting. Especially in the slim Backline. No Sheez is also ballsy. You are obviously not sold in Roberts/Perryman types. I think Short or Sic could go down to one of them or possibly Sanders to Garcia (but I still don’t know what to think about Garcia – he could do anything good or bad).
Love the reasoning on the Crows players. Yep that was my exact take on it and have done exactly the same.
Thoroughly unconvinced by bench options forward and back but we’ll see what happens. 13K in the bank.
Petracca showed everything he needed to yesterday, v happy to take the punt at that price. Cerra is also a risk but too cheap to ignore. Would love to get Rankine instead of Sanders but don’t got the dollars.
Would love to get Roberts up to a Premo like Sic – but unsure where to cull.
Ideally Rankine would be nice instead of Smith, but I think 5 deep in DEF is necessary.
Any suggestions?
Draper to NOD would prob be the only change but you have 99% of everyone else’s players I’d say so you can’t really go wrong with that as a starting team.
Yeah nice one Nateo. You prob have $100k sitting on the pine thats not ideal (and that’s the other issue running Flynn instead of an extra rookie. But if you are happy with that then fine. Sure there will be lots on changes anyway in the first few rounds.
Without the DPP in R3 (Sims, which is annoying also as he is $113k!) you are pretty much locked into playing Flynn without any flexibility (pardon the pun). So I don’t know about that one yet.
Look at this! I think I’ve just talked myself out of picking Flynn as Flex in my team by going through those possibilities with your team 🙂
I think you are one Premo Def short in Def (i.e I think Short is running too short!). Most are going Sheez, 1 or 2 $500k Def and then 1 or two $400k Def then rookies. Understanding what you are trying to do here because you are trying to squeeze Rankine in (and that’s the issue with everyone trying to do that btw). But one more $500k Defender I think personally (even if you have to downgrade a Lashcroft or a Sanders).
Currently pending a few rookies so guys like Allan, Erasmus and Hall could easily make way for a Reidy. Would love to try and get FOS in but not sure if it’ll be possible. Any advice or potential modifications are welcome.

I’m torn with this team. I love having the three ruck set up, but it feels a bit weak in the backs and mids. Gawn can become Neale (love his early run of games).
Garcia is also someone I might try to upgrade. With all these injuries with the Saints, I’m concerned he will lose his job when Sinclair and co. come back.
Only issues I see are Allan, Leake and Stone.
Leaked and Stone both did OK but are both easily replaced if not named.
6 mids. Who are the other 2 on field
Sorry Sheldrick and Knevitt! Forgot to add those two in
Looked at Rivers but I’m not sold on his role in yesterday’s game.so I would go Perryman or I’ve really liked Bergman’s last couple of games as a POD. All the teams are getting so similar.
Rivers big red light yesterday. Langdon to the eye seemed to be preferred as the 4th mid.
Yeah. Gawn & Xerri is overkill, especially considering neither of their fixtures jump off the page.
Grab Neale. You’re on the money.

Not thrilled with this side in general to be completely honest.. round 0 will be huge.
I’d get Flynn over Meek then upgrade your defence to get Allan up to Milera.
Wayne Milera has a quad injury so needs to be monitored for round 1 availability.
Heard they’re just being super precautionary. Confident he’ll play round 1 and can push 80 if his body holds up. Very handy at $260k given the lack of rookie defenders.
Not sure going a fit meek down to a bloke with a horrid injury history is wise to then get a rookie up to another injury plagued player..
Risky play
If his body holds up, what’s your back up plan. Milera still cannot get through a pre-season without these soft tissues injuries.
Big at the back
Def – Sheezel, Houston, Martin, Stewart, Short, Reid (Leake, Trainor)

Heeney a big call but I kinda love it.

Team is good but a bunch of those rookies aren’t happening, nor are there replacements.
Travaglia, Allan and El Hawli are all no’s. Grab Reid and Bice but personally I’d want them strictly bench only, so another premo could be warranted.
Midfield is excellent, obviously with that big spend. There’s some higher priced rookies who look solid, so maybe thin out then, grab the CG and bolster your DEF line.
FWD rookies bar Davidson (and maybe Hewett) are all also no’s.
Premo selection is fire though. Gw. Anderson, Brayshaw, Dawson, tick, tick, tick.
Eight bench players for a total of 40 SC points is it time to revisit or hope for the best. T/U review. T/D hope for a miracle
What are people’s thoughts on Josh Sinn at D5?
People have been talking about him here and there. He scored 67 in only 40% game time on Saturday.
Just trying to figure out who’s best to replace Allen there
Prior or Patton
Or even Paton 🙂
Paton will spend a solid season in the VFL
Will depend on Melican I think.
he is an awkward price. you would want him to average 75+ to make any money. not sure he can do that.
40% game time is a concern. Sub Vest …
Fact he came on for that limited game time isn’t good.
Evans, Farrell and Bergman firmly the HB line ahead of him.
Can possibly be the 7th defender starting on the bench.
Even so I reckon the move is 5x premos + Leake, Reid & Bice.

That DEF line is dead on arrival, Chizza.
El Hawli and Trainor won’t play. Grab Reid (bench only) and a premo.
Finlayson also feels far too reactive. Port were swimming in ball.
With the increase in the number of injuries, sides will be looking quite different across the board. It will be more fun this year with more difference between sides.
DEF: Sheezel, Holmes, Roberts, Perryman, Milera, Sinn (Allan, Reid)
I don’t think the first 4 need more explanation than what others have already provided. I don’t love the Milera and Sinn picks – there is very much a lack of def rookies, and given Allan’s performance, I don’t have confidence putting him on the ground. Reid should get games and increase in price.

For me, the ceiling of JHF increased with the news of Butters. Macrae, Smith and Daniel all provide massive value. Rookies are subject to selection.

If he plays, and if he can get one or two big scores through a bag of goals, will increase – but the Tigers are gonna be in for a long year.

Don’t see how you can start Lynch or Milera having not seen them play. You don’t even sound jazzed about either.

will prob change Allan to Trainor/Bice if named.
Any thoughts appreciated!
Flynn looked ok yesterday, his SC score seemed inflated for what he did, but that is what a ruck can do.
he is definately back in the conversation, its only his back injury that is the question now.
Disagree. Flynn was great – and I’ve been hard on him all PS.
Beat Xerri Heads up for HTAs.
He’s in.
i thought he was quiet in the first half. didn’t watch much of the second half but was surprised by his SC score
Don’t mind the Meek pick. Paton is an easier swap for Allan so hope he gets named. FOS for Langford after yesterday’s game I think.
Excuse my ignorance.
FOS ?????
Finn O’Sullivan from North.
Doh…..he’s in my team

I wanted not be has cookie-cutter with the defenders (even though I had Holmes in my side previously), but fair call on the amount of rookies.
Is that a better structure?
Final Version (maybe)

Flex: Knevitt
Nothing left in the bank
Havent played Supercoach in a long time, what do we think?
I would put Sheldrik as flex not on bench as the flex score counts as on field player
Can anyone see any issues here?
BACK: Sheezel, NWM, Holmes, Short, Roberts, Leake (Reid, Bice)
MID: Naicos, Brayshaw, Rozee, Oliver, FOS, Tsatsas, Draper, Sheldrick (LAshcroft, Knevitt, Hall)
RUCK: Xerri, TDK (Boyd)
FWD: JHF, Macrae, Smith, Daniel, Kako, Davidson (Hewett, Stone)
FLEX: Flynn
Would love to get Roberts up to a Premo like Sic – but unsure where to cull.
Ideally Rankine would be nice instead of Smith, but I think 5 deep in DEF is necessary.
Any suggestions?
Draper to NOD would prob be the only change but you have 99% of everyone else’s players I’d say so you can’t really go wrong with that as a starting team.
Think i’m finally happy with this team…
Sheezel, Clark, Short, Roberts, Perryman, Leake (Paton, Reid)
Serong, Rozee, Oliver, Cerra, O’Driscoll, Tsatas, Ashcroft, Sheldrick (FOS, Knevitt, Boxhall)
Xerri, TDK (Boyd)
JHF, Macraem Smith, Sanders, Daniel, Davidson (Kako, Stone)
Flynn
Yeah nice one Nateo. You prob have $100k sitting on the pine thats not ideal (and that’s the other issue running Flynn instead of an extra rookie. But if you are happy with that then fine. Sure there will be lots on changes anyway in the first few rounds.
Without the DPP in R3 (Sims, which is annoying also as he is $113k!) you are pretty much locked into playing Flynn without any flexibility (pardon the pun). So I don’t know about that one yet.
Look at this! I think I’ve just talked myself out of picking Flynn as Flex in my team by going through those possibilities with your team 🙂
Flynn can be a correction trade on any line if he doesn’t pop in the first 2 weeks ie Garcia, Finlayson and co who I’m missing. only 10k banked
Any comments much appreciated

I think you are one Premo Def short in Def (i.e I think Short is running too short!). Most are going Sheez, 1 or 2 $500k Def and then 1 or two $400k Def then rookies. Understanding what you are trying to do here because you are trying to squeeze Rankine in (and that’s the issue with everyone trying to do that btw). But one more $500k Defender I think personally (even if you have to downgrade a Lashcroft or a Sanders).
