Rate Jock’s Supercoach Team v1
The Peoples Prince – Jock Reynolds
I mentioned in this weeks post NAB weekend 1 podcast that I would reveal the first version of my Supercoach 2012 team during the week. What Jock Reynolds says Jock Reynolds delivers folks. I haven’t reached lofty heights within the AFL community by making silly promises willy nilly.
Our maths and stats brain Peter Higginbotham last week revealed the first version of his team. Fair to say that Higgo has had chins wagging and tempers flaring by the water cooler. I’ve booked him into counselling sessions to help him deal with the demands that come with his growing public profile. His recovery is progressing nicely. Eating solids again. Due to be right by next weeks podcast.
Righto – here it is folks. I’ve used the sen-bloody-sational “Higginator” Team Analysis Tool to get this together:
Goddard was about the only fella I didn’t give a 2nd thought to here. The main concern with Scotland is his age which still has me worried. Hard to look past the bloke though on current form, reliability and his DEF/MID abilities. Brian Lake I will be watching like an absolute HAWK for the rest of the preseason – the slightest hint of a setback and WOOOSHKA he’ll be out the door.
Been keen on the 1 gun 3 rookie ruck format for some weeks now. Big Matty HamNEggnBurger is a real star and I am a dead set rap for the kid. Read more about my thoughts on him in Jock’s Locks here. With Vardy crook big Orren ‘Ayres Rock’ Stephensen will be my rookie on the ground with Giles the other lock. Not too sure about young Sammy Rowe yet, I’ll see how his shoulder pulls up otherwise big Tomy Derickx is next in line.
Reckon Leigh Montagna has been slipping under the radar so far this preseason. A proven Supercoach gun a bit off his game last year and at a nice price. No secret I’m a big rap for gun and all round good bloke Matty Priddis . Steele Sidebum is one player in and out of my lineup – reckon he is due to bust out and also like his MID/FWD abilities. Rookies not locked in obviously at this stage but liked the look of Bauguley and he’ll open up a link with my defenders.
Buddy will smash em this year if what I saw last weekend is anything to go by. Looks bloody tops. Big Jono Brown carries with him some risk, but the reward will be too juicy to pass up on. Can play with injury so at least he’ll be a warm body on the field if his rig doesn’t quite hold up. Gary Rohan… look out AFL here he comes. Will have a close look again at him this weekend but a super talent at a tempting price.
We all know that rounds 11 thru 13 will be a real bugger this season with the multi byes. Higgo’s tool is showing red for me in round 11 which is alright as most of my round 11 blokes are rookies that I’ll have cashed in by then.
Round 13 is gonna hurt with many of my premoim guns having the bye. I’m not letting this sway me in my team selection. I’ve been pretty vocal in my view that there is a lot of water to pass under the old bridge before then. Concentrating too much on round 13 at this stage risks you compromising the quality of your picks. I’ll think more about bye friendliness as injuries and upgrades become a factor. Read up on my warning about Noise Pollution here to help you get onto the straight and narrow in this regard
Looking at the team balance I’m pretty bloody happy with my Guns to Rookies ratio. Generally not a midprice man unless there’s something especially juicy in that price range, and reckon J Brown and Rohan could tick that box.
So team… what do you reckon of Jock’s first Supercoach 2012 team?
No Dustin Martin?
He's there.
Jock, wouldn't mind your thoughts and opinions on my side for 2012…question mark over one fella, what do you think of big sammy reid from sydney?

Also wanting joel selwood in there somewhere, but don't know how to slot him in…you're help would be much appreciated!!
gonna move to my study and have a good look at this.
I was thinking Lenny Hayes would be a decent pick.
Even if his old body wont last the entire season, he can prove to be a great trade up option to a top Gun like Pendles after a few weeks.
And Sam J Reid is a bloody superstar. Can definetely see him playing a lot of Games and seeing a nice rise in his price. Great pick on him
Is Luke Brown still a suspension risk??
Yeah good call mate – would love to fit Lenny in there. Love the bloke.
Just think the risk factor is a tad high there, and after that long out his output will be down a bit for at least 8 weeks I reckon.
Even not at top form Hayes can probably still rack up 80 points at least, May not seem like much with so many other players to choose.. And he also runs the risk of injury.. But if he can make it at least 5 rounds.. Then theres plenty of money to get a top quality superstar.
Its a risk but if all goes well, the trade up will be too good to pass
In the forwards mate – love young Dusty this year
oh he is too, dont know how i missed that!
god I almost had a heart attack haha
Jock….i've told you many times my friend, get on Shuey.
Haha good on ya Micky – he's in the mix mate

Thanks Jock
Could you please have a look at my team thanks
M.Clarke is under an Injury Cloud.
Scott Gumbleton has played 7mins in 18 years. Rest of the side is fairly decent. Might want to also look at some more DPP flexibility
marty clarke did soft tissue damaged so he will be ok. I reckon gumbleton will go good this year.. but i might change him for another rookie:) thanks big fella
dude u seriously cannot be thinking of putting gumbles in?? he hasnt played a NAB cup game yet and is probably the most likely player in the afl to get injured, not to mention his had a shit pre-season
I'd drop Priddis for him tbqh
But thats me
i wouldnt agree michael, sorry ahah
Each to their own Jordan, I just see Priddis taking a drop in price this year. Shuey has the right mindset to elevate himself to the level of Ablett/Swan/Pendles/Dal
Yeh i see your point there Jock.
But do you think its wise to play Goddard, Scotland and Deledio at once?
They all have a bye in round 13, And im assuming you don't plan to trade them out cause they are all solid point scorers.
Come round 13 your score is going to dip a lot unless you burn a trade getting rid of one of them
Great point Mark. Law of averages tell me one of them is likely to get injured/suspended before then anyway. Taking the punt on not compromising the best picks
Its a massive gamble there..
Your basically guessing they would get injured/ suspended.
For me Im gonna have:
Goddard
Deledio
Enright
and Maybe Jed Adcock or Heath Shaw
That way when the bye comes around, I'll have at least 2 Superstars in my line up
Get seb Ross in jock..

And Giles for Smith and spend on another small priced ruck to leave more money for else where
Please rate my team Jock
Cheers
Barlow he hunts the ball like nobodys business. Or Cotchin, Fyfe (MID/FWD) and Goodes or O'Keef
Poor old Barlows leg is playing up the poor bugger. Off my radar for the time being
Morabito looks a risk at this stage. Coming off a bad knee injury. Done nothing so far.
Gday there Lee tops to have you here mate. Coming together nicely. Porplyzia has had a minor injury setback which in isolation is no major concern but considering his history it was enough for me to pull the old pin.. Lachie Hansen is a ? for mine, can't see the kid developing into a premiumish back.. all in all a nice looking formation mate
And Gibson
ive not herd much of baguley
gotta have buddyyyyy
ziebell over sidebottom i say, ROK in mid to give DPP
And Sloane over both.
Not a bad idea Lee – toying with the different DPP possibilities.. its a tough year

Gday there Benny good to see you up and about and planning your team mate!
Like the look of your team mate you have done well. A couple of my opinions… Yagmoor I's keep an eye on during the rest of the NAB, looked fair dinkum tops last weekend but its a tough team to break into… Suckling.. will be interesting to see how much more upside he has left in him, interesting one… great team mate

Jock my auld flower,
Was really looking forward to having a look at this team mate and you haven't disappointed
You sly dog, you keeping this baguley guy to yourself ?? I like how you have gone heavy on the midfield, five guns in there .. nice .. that's were the real points are coming from
If I have one concern i'd say you have spent too much in defense on guys I don't think will guarantee big scores off the bat .. Deledio has a little nigglely injury and a horrible run of games at the start of the year Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong, and WCE in the first 5 rounds. Can see him starting slow and could be a great first upgrade come round 6
I see Shaw and Scotland as both risks too and don't think either are ganteed to get you the asking price value of points.
However if they do this team looks really strong and a really well balanced, Has given me some fresh ideas too so big thanks
Gday there MJ! Need to see a bit more of the Baguley boy but what I have seen has been quite solid.. Deledio I am quite bullish on pending of course the status of his niggle. Team is in early stages.. watch the changes trickle in!
Why start sidebum in the mids???
For a FWD swinger. He'll need at least one.
Yes his swingingness got him in there.. really believe he will break out this season
For mine, not sold on Baguley or Wilkes thus far. I think one of your premium defender/mids has to play in the middle instead of maybe Monty.
Gday Alex – thanks for the input mate and that is one thing that I have also been scratching the chin over. Baguley got across the line helped by his MID/DEF eligibility but I'm not completely sold on him either. Would prefer Sam Gibson in there.. and yes – I might need to consider one of the DEF/MIDS backs in the midfield.
so you're pretty cofident zorko will be fit

Hey Jock! Great to see someone else has picked Boydy. What a gun! Probably one of the most underrated players in the AFL and a red hot chance for the Brownlow (I'm a pies fan BTW). What do you think of Mitch Wallis? He missed games last year as a fringe player in his first year though scored well when he played. With Ward gone I reckon he'll be a regular. Also is Didak too much of a risk? We know he has the skill and couldn't possibly get any worse. Thanks mate, great side!
Hi Jock, nice team! But I notice having 4 premos and 2 swingers in your mids has left u with only 2 of those valuable midfield rookies.
Do you think having the swinging option in your starting team is an absolute must?
Jock, I'm not sure where you transcended from, but we as mere mortals are benefiting greatly from your prosperous wisdom. It takes
After much deliberation, thought and blue cheese i present you my Supercoach 2012 team for your perusal, advice and guidance.

Thanking you in advance sir.
Clarke injured, only soft tissue though still a gamble. Same with Shiel. Would go for Stephensen over Giles as your on field ruck.
Great side, fwd's look dangerous! No Jonno Brown???
Thanks Shannon – ill have to revise this after the weekend
Hi Guys,
Would apprecaite some advice on my side. Have re-jigged a bit based on Jock's words of wisdom though plety of time for improvements.
Backs: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw, Broughton, Lake, Bugg, Morriss (Mohr, Wilkes)
Mids: Ablett, Swan, Boyd, Priddis, Chapman, Reid (McDonald, Baguley)
Rucks: Sanderlands, Stephensen (Giles, Rowe)
Forwards: Fraklin, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, Brown, Rohan, Zorko, Smedts (Cooyou, Treloar)
Considerations: Would like Barlow in the side though may need to swap for Sidebottom. Also wondering if Goddard is a wise first round pick. Didn't look too good in his NAB games last week.
Hey all,
Early days yet, I know – but any thoughts on my team so far? Basically looked at the early rounds to kick off good price jumps (hopefully) and stayed away from Richmond (for the moment) given their horror first 5 rounds – Deledio and Martin are top of my things to do list afterwards. Went heavy on DPP's; trades are there to be used
Insanely helpful advice by all postings really!

P.S.: You may have a great team there Jock.
Hi Jock,
I want some advice on D Martin.
I've got him in my forward line and i could trade him for either N Fyfe, S Jhonson or M Pavlich. Who should I get or should i keep Martin and save my salary cap (with Martin it is $72,300).
Cheers
P.S. you have a great team!
Hey Jock..
