2013 Supercoach Premium Cheat Sheet

Yeah Jobe is a must for me as well but there are only so many spots on the cheat sheet and more importantly in one's team. Swan, Beams and my man J.P.Kennedy are also very hard to pass up on too.

I have 3 super elites in my team. GAJ is a lock for me but the other two names keeps changing between these 5 or 6 fine fellas almost on a daily basis. Currently giving Jobe and Pendles the nod but goodness knows what it will be by Round 1.

I Entered Sportsbets AFL Million dollar tipping competition and scored a $250 Free bet. You bloody ripper. I enteted here- http://bit.ly/tipsportsbet

That forward line was missing buddy and cyril, he only really pulled his finger out in the last kicking 3 goals. Won't be starting with him

He is getting pretty old and his body will start to soften.

His consistent premium output and DPP status make him a irresistible selection in my forward line.

missing a midfield player in there .. love the team though, great balance – I think with Cox in your forward line you can take a punt on your rucks – if for some reason Smith or Berger don't fire then you can swing Cox in there and look to change your forward line.

Zorko is a risk for me, but one I am willing to take – not having the best of games tonight but is a SC scoring machine with his forward pressure, ability to lay tackles and impact the score board – remember his average form last year had a sub effected score .. Best pure forward in the game behind buddy and pav but offers better value than both of them at the start of the year

max again he's a bit like the duff as in he is actually just shy of premium status .. great option though, if he can stay on the park that is .. having a great preseason

Will get injured and miss games

daniel,

all of the above mentioned players are solid and will finish with elite status come the end of the year. If you are asking who is best value for money out of those I would pick them in this order

1. Cotchin/Deledio – can't split them and see them both average 118
2. Selwood (Geelong) – will average 115-118 – consistent but can't see him kicking on from his current average
3. Boyd – oldest out of the lot – inconsistent and will become more of a mentor to the very young and talented up and coming mids at the dogs – average 110 but will have 10 scores below 100

hop that helps

Cotchin and J Selwood for me. Both will step up with their captaincies.

114.6 two year average for Selwood and 108.4 for Cotchin. Hard to split – Cotchin might not score as well when you have a gun tagger on him.

Boyd: 2012 – Played every game – 6 games under 100 (including a 96 & 97)
Selwood: 2012 – Played 16 Games – 3 games under 100 (including a 99)
Deledio: 2012 – Played 19 Games – 3 games under 100 (including a pair of 91's)
Cotchin: 2012 Played 18 Games – 2 games under 100 (98 & 99)

So Boyd seems the less consistent in pumping out those 100+ scores, but keep in mind in total points scored he is out in front due to playing every game. Pick your poison imo

oh and in the prelim against collingwood he got 118 SC and in the GF against the hawks he got a massive 141

Ive had him on my radar since day 1 could reach a reliable premium status. Great ball winner only thing he lacks is goal kicking. he is firmly in my side at the present

He is certainly a Swan on the rise. I would also place his team mate Luke Parker in that category who will hopefully shed the kermit vest for good this season and have a breakout year. Sadly I can't fit either in my squad but both certainly warrant selection consideration.

All the tags will be on rich or rockliff as the better players i'd tip mate.

Wouldn't lose too much sleep on that one mate. Just pick the players you reckon represent the best value whether they be premiums, mid pricers or rooks or which team they play for. The rest of it will work itself out.

With the new bye scoring rules it's less important than previous years plus by time you get to the byes you will probably have traded at least a third of your starting team away so it will probably look a fair bit different anyway.

I have all those 3 Lions you have as well as Cornelius on my bench for a POD rather than Varcoe who every man and his dog will have!

Big Sammy Jacobs is set for a massive year in my opionion. Both are just entering their prime as ruckmen and so I see them both being awesome picks in 2013.

Would say that Jacobs will average 107 and McEvoy 105.

McEvoy has averaged 102.7 over the last 2 years and Jacobs 97.4.

If you factor in Jacobs improvement and the Hickey impact on McEvoy you'd take Jacobs by a nose.

Under 470k? If you don't have Heppell, then he's your man. Otherwise Watts or Broughton seem good buys with plenty of scope for improvement.

Yes I would have JPK in my team if I could fit in 5 elite mids but alas I'll have to try and bring him in midseason.

Pearce!!

I am super keen on him this year. Should play predominantly through the midfield too.

You're just about set there I reckon mate. Still got question marks over luey – if he was right I think we would have seen him this preseason a little bit.

With your DPP ruck swing open, I'd shift Cox up forward for Tex and have a play around with your rucks

I would consider mundy over barlow. mundy has never had alot of people talking about him and 3 years ago he was top 5 scorer. so far his preseason looks good and 2nd year in after having a big injury. no reason he cant make it back to high prem levels again.

Looks good …

Bring in Ryder for Walker or Kennedy so you can have the ruck switch.

I would take Dusty over Zorko at this stage to free up some cash.

Take Kerridge over Daniher.

Giday Ryan, I'd consider maybe downgrading one of your premiums in the midfield for a midpriced good player or expensive rookie who can play..eg: Nick Lower, Koby Stevens..and transfer Zorko or Rockliffe to the midfield so they can interchange, then you could add Lecras, Varco, Byrnes or Sipposs to the fwd line…you want to make some money so you can upgrade…good luck mate.

I'd go Bennell just because he's younger, has bulked up a bit, is not returning from any injuries and, Gold Coast will win more games this year because they're all a bit harder and more experienced than last year.

Yeah I'd nudge slightly the way of Bennell too. GC also have an easier draw in the first 5 rounds. Both guys are solid selections though and should have good seasons.

Mundy. 2nd year back after a bad injury. full preseason under belt and was top 5 prem player 3 years ago. at his price even if he doesnt ave 100 u wont have lost money and can trade to an ultra.

Risky, very risky. If both bloke suffer a form drop and GAJ is till pumpin it out, you will basically derail your season then and there.

Yeah i like that thought. Certainly could be a factor.

Yeah although I reckon that one can go both ways. Also means that he will probably get even more shut down attention from the opposition than usual. That said Birchall is a quality player and a very consistent and proven performer so should be a popular selection in many teams.

Nah, it's not too bad. Maybe someone like Pendles would shore that up, but if you're confident with that, then go for it. You're missing someone btw.

Nah don't sweat it mate. You have a stronger midfield than I do. In fact you could even sacrifice one of your premiums for another rookie or mid price cash cow but definitely nothing wrong with your current structure. Well done!

Leuy isn't set to play round 1. But might play round 2. So if you feel like he is worth it still then just swap in currie.

looks good but will Neade get games early?

Should play… And play well. Would prefer Koby Stevens though for a similar price.

Depends, if you want consistency and likeliness to play games then go for Koby, but Wines has massive scoring potential. I have Stevens in as a 100% lock.

Wines to average 78 from 17 games
Stevens to average 81 from 20 games.

Eeny meeny miny moe…..

I think both are going to develop into extremely fat cash cows so are both locks in my team. Yes Hill is very much high on my radar too and I will find a spot for him if named in round 1.

Hawks only real weakness (other than kicking truly between the big sticks at times!) is midfield pace and Hill may prove to be to be somewhat of a panacea there.

Staker is injured mate. Out for at least the first 2 rounds, up to a month I believe.

Jacobs will be the #1 Supercoach ruck by the end of the year in my eyes, will average around 20 more than Smith I think, however if your getting smith to earn money then trade in for Nic Nat mid season? Could go for smith.

Many are going with one premium ruck and cox up fwd, rolling the dice on a mid priced R2. If the mid pricer flops early cox can shift into the ruck line and you'll be able to grab one of the many mid price fwd options this year

Les I did what you are considering. Not sold on Leuenberger. At least Cox & Jacobs will get you 100+ each week. Leuenberger not at full fitness. I took out Johnson & put in Varcoe.

Depends on how much money you have left over, you want to have around $100k at the start of Round 1, so if getting Shuey leaves you with little money left over, go with Mundy.
Both of them will have a ripping year, I have Shuey in my team though. I somehow trust him more.

Mate you must go with either Shuey or Fyfe there I reckon. Shuey's output will considerably improve on a consistent basis this season, lock him in and he will pump out 115-120 ppg for you this year. Fyfe would be an absolute lock if he didn't have a few injury problems. He will average 115-120 this year if he stays on the park.

Yeah Currie will be either R3 or R4 in over 90% of teams this season. Certainly I viable R2 option as well if you want to spend your coin elsewhere.

But in that case you would probably want to also have either Cox, Hale, Ryder or Roughie in your forward line to swap into the ruck in case he falls out of favour during the season to Goldy or a extra spot is freed up in some games for Daw as a forward with part time ruck duties.

I got both of 'em 🙂

where did you find the supercoach points?

What are your thought in Josh J Kennedy. did kick 5.3 in nab cup last game. Would you reccomend him over Lecras?

If you downgraded a midfield gun (Ablett,Swan,Danger) to someone like Fyfe/Hannebery you could then spend that extra cash on a mid price forward (Karny/Varcoe/Lecras)

Have both in my side, Pendles for consistency, 2nd best Supercoacher in my eyes. Dangerfield can pump out huge scores but won't be as consistent as Pendles who will probably average around 120. Will only miss one or two through resting?

Pendles over Danger for me, but I can see both being top 5 mids at the end of the year. Pendles will play every game this year imo, so don't worry about that.

Would expect Pendles to have both the higher average and the higher total points when it's all said and done although Danger will be right up there again too.

Whilst Pendles missed 4 games last season with the fracture he only missed 4 games the previous 4 regular seasons combined!

If you already have either Swan or Beams I would pick Danger to give yourself another team captain option to the Pies but otherwise I'd lean ever so slightly towards Pendles especially if your are talking the M1 or M2 position.

Bartel for Broughton would free up cash?

Very potent team you have formed there Adam. Love your choice of elite mids. Would pick those 5 guys myself but with the strategy I'm pursuing can only fit in 3 of them at the start so JPK and Cotch will have to become mid season acquisitions for my team.

Yes I reckon Stevie J would be preferable to Jimmy for the money.

fyfe is an injury risk, injury scare yesterday on the reconstructed sholder

I suggest moloney or fye. Would probably not want 3 gold coast players in your midfield. (just a hint)

Hey Jock is a Saints man so I'm sure he would have considered him if he was worthy of inclusion on a very short list of the AFLs best. Haven't seem him named in many teams so perhaps keep him as your secret POD!

But well down on my draft list and many others I'm guessing.

There's isn't much not to like about these selections Benno. Only slight area of concern is the bottom end of your forward line but that's a common problem for many and certainly can be lived with.

Yes some players just have more appeal than other completely valid alternatives. Also we've seen much more of Goddard in the pre-season plus all the talk of him being the prize off season acquisition makes him hard to ignore.

But absolutely nothing wrong picking Shaw instead as a consistent premium output defender.

Shaw doesn't start well… All his scores come from rd 10/11 onwards

franklin and fyfe and use the 30 k for bennell = lance franklin and harley bennell

Zorko and Shuey!! Every day. #Consistency

Franklin is fools gold. Will score massive some weeks but he just doesn't play enough to justify spending 600k on a player who hasn't played more than 19 games for the last 3 seasons due to ill discipline and mysterious hammy injuries.

In terms of total points for the year he was Hawthorns 5th best forward in 2012 and only 20th overall. He MIGHT win you a league game or two, but he will lose you the $50k.

No Buddy Love for me

Wow I give you props man for coming up with a team quite different to many here.

I could say I prefer this guy or that guy myself but it's actually good to see a bit of diversity so well done and good luck in your comps.

scotland will miss first 2 games because of club suspension isnt he?

I prefer Karny who has had a tremendous pre-season and I'm bullish on a lot of the young Lion players. However I could be in the minority as Jock has Varcoe currently listed in pole position on his mid priced cheat sheet.

I expect both to produce good scores and appreciate in value so just pick the one your gut likes the best. I honestly think you can't go wrong either way.

Karny if you have to choose one. Have both in my team though! Great picks either way. Karnezis coming into 3rd year so he has the more upside imo.

Karny every day of the week, should have the same roof as Varco but less risk
