Round 1 Supercoach Scouting Report (Part 2)
Howdy folks, we’re in week 2 of AFL football, but still in Round 1 of the home and away season.
We’ll be taking a look at the rest of the round this week, although some of you may have already locked your Captains in from last week. If you did, I hope whoever you picked put up a ripper of a score for you. If you’ve only played your VC, or are looking to play both this week, then keep on reading and we’ll see if we can’t help out with your selections.
Remember to look out for the red and green Supercoach scores, RED = bad, GREEN = good which may help you out when it comes to picking your captains for the week.

Captain Pick(s):
Dangerfield scored well last time he played Geelong in 2012, which was also at Simmonds Stadium. Ignore the 55 he scored in 2011, he only averaged 80 for that year. Joel Selwood has a very good average against the Crows; both recently and over his entire career, however his injury status leading up to Round 1 may make people reconsider naming his as a Captain for this game. If it was a regular round I’d try out the VC loophole on him, but the split round makes that difficult here.

Captain Pick(s):
Todd Goldstein doesn’t have a good career average against the Bombers, but scored well the last time they played. Ziebell has a very short history VS Essendon and NDS has never feasted against the Bombers while as a Sainter, but we’ll have to wait and see if that changes as a Roo. Watson a solid pick, Ryder scored very well against North last time they played; which was also his highest score ever at Etihad, but that wouldn’t be enough for me to risk a C on him this week.

Captain Pick(s):
Wasn’t a lot of high scores last time these teams met. Mitchell usually does well against the Lions, but people may be looking for a little more “oompf” from their Captain pick than a potential score in the 120’s. Rockliff doesn’t have a great track record against Hawthorn or at Aurora Stadium and I would be avoiding him as a C/VC choice pick this week.

Captain Pick(s):
Not a lot on offer, but the Dees racked up some huge scores during their pre-seasons games. With the Saints missing Hayes and Montagna through suspension and Steven and Gilbert with injuries, there’s a chance that Melbourne may be posting some big scores in the middle. Only for those who want to potentially boom or bust with a Bernie Vince or Nathan Jones pick I think.

Captain Pick(s):
Not a lot to look at here. The Bulldogs and the Eagles haven’t scored very well against each other in their recent games, and I certainly wouldn’t be banking on Dahlhaus repeating his last effort. Shuey has the best recent form when these two teams play, but it’s the final game of the round, so it’s hard to risk it and pick him here.
And that’ll wrap us up for this 2nd half of Round 1. Hope you guys have a good round and put up a ton of points! Any questions or comments? Let ‘em rip in the comments section below or hit me up on the Twitters @BarronVonCrow

Hey guys 2 questions
1. Sauce Jacobs or Big Ben McEvoy?
2. Libba or Rockliff?
Thanks guys cant decide
Struggling with Libba/Rockliff call as well
i think mcevoy willl score more but have Jacobs because he is very cheap and should rise in price and might go 90-95+. i have both libba and rocky but i think rockliff is the better option because no more voss means more mid time.
Can't decide on two of Selwood, Watson, Rockliff or Libba as well. Or do I want to throw in the reliable Priddis for a POD?!
I think in the end we'll just have to go with our gut!!!
You make a good point there Sarah because Priddis is only in 1.39% of teams so many options
Too many options!!!
I'm going libba from that group. Mainly cos selwood has injury concerns, watson drug concerns, rocky first round hawthorn concerns and libba will take all the ball away from priddis 😛
Hahaha, good point!!!
Thinking about Selwood though. His game is Thursday night. Cat's wont pick him unless he's fit and if he's a late withdrawal all the other options are still yet to play. Hmmm
Haha but if he's a late withdrawal and you miss it your stuck with his zero and can't trade him out. You'd wanna be ready just in case. I reckon Jelwood will be another good trade down option mid year just like last year. Heres hoping.
not much between Jacobs and mcEvoy. I'm going Jacob because he is cheaper and he owes me from last year.
stear clear of libba fellas still young could be a first trade in maybe or maybe near his buy get him in to much risk at that price if you think he is going to get more then 110 your silly wait for him to prove his worth go with the proven scorers
Jock, you’re the first I’ve heard (or read) to say anything bad about the kid. Contested ball specialist, always has good tackle stats, killed it in the preseason and his scores progressively improved last year. His early mid and late averages were 95, 109 and 119 respectively with a 59% ton achievement which would be mainly due to his first 3rd of the season. Personally, I like him, but then again I’m not quite ready to splash on NDS until he proves himself so maybe we operate a little differently between the ears. Who do you see as an alternative?
Why do you have Jocks name?
And grammar is not optional!
"jock reynolds", mind if I screenshot your statement above and put it up here with Liberatore's score late Sunday night mate?
Jacobs & Rocky for me, but I'm a biased Lions man. Reckon Sauce will redeem himself this season, and Rocky, well he's just a gun. Libba's no slouch though!
Quality as always BVC. Danger might be a good captains choice
So the general consensus is that this is the shizen half of Round 1 and you'd be best served to have had your captain already play?
Alrighty then!
That's correct. Ablett has already played 😉
I assume StevieJ is playing?? I have him as my Captain.
Really can't decide between Jacobs or McEvoy
neither can I but I have the cash to afford the likes of Minson and Goldstein thoughts on who I should get as R1 Minson/Goldy/McEvoy/Jacobs please help!
Same don't know tossing up between big boy and Jacobs
if you have the cast go Goldy.
*cash
Natanui or Jacobs?
Natanui I am starting to doubt Jacobs and have switched him out for McEvoy
Jacobs I'm yet to be convinced on. Coach said if Nicnat plays he'll probably be subbed out for first few games. You'd want to be sure he can get his 100+ score in 3 qrts.
Just wondering what people think is the better option?
Watson and Hurn or Enright and Libba?
Thanks in advance!
can you do Watson & Enright?
nah a few grand to short
Ive taken Libba in my team, I would go with Enright and Libba personally. although i went swallow over enright.
Enright Libba easily
ok peeps, quick question:
Luey or Jacobs? who do you think will be more consistent and would the point difference be worth spending the extra 60k on luey??
thoughts?
Leuy easy ultra consistent can only get better coming off a limited pre season last year, only worry might be Trent west.
extra 60k worth it yes. I don't think he'll rise but keeper all year. Safe bet
How do you enter the jock reynolds group comp in super coach?
Jacobs or Ryder?
Ryder. But trade at byes when belly comes back
Hamish Macintosh Named very Surprising
Heater is tempting at his price.
no M Crouch.
Do we still pick him or find another cow that is playing?
Matt crouch named as an emergency will that change anyone's mind and take him out?
Naw. The kid is a bonafide ball magnet. Will be like his brotha. Once in, he'll rack up the points. Don't see anyone at his price (or below $180K for that matter) that has shown in NAB capable of doing the same.
I'm keeping him in there, Sully.
Same
Keeping him on the field, to take Polecs score. If he isn't named by week 3, I will consider trading him out for another cow.
Likewise. Two rounds to get in there, Matty.
If I were to guess, he's going to get the vest. If it's 2nd half and Crows need a spark, he's coming in.
Basically same scenario with Langdon. Why would you keep a non player on the bench, then trade him out later! Just wasting your trade and possible cash cow, you'll need your Trades during bye rounds and towards the end of the season. Let say Tyson, ellis, dunstan, michie and so on gets 80 points you're only losing 27points oppose to Polecs 107. If M Crouch gets called in R5-R7 then downgrade one of the Cash cows to Crouch and upgrade one of your Cash cow to a premo. The rule is do not trade sideways.
Or you can just hold on to Crouch and hope he gets called to play, I'm pretty sure he'll get games later on.
M Crouch an excellent downgrade option hoping he doens't get games early. While cashing in on Polec, Michie, Ellis, Dunstan etc.
Seeing as Matt Crouch probably won't be lining up I had to switch McDonald into my midfield as D10 as I couldn't afford Ellis/Aish and already had Dunstan so then I put Georgiou as my D6. Hope it all pans out right.
I am now also tempted to switch out McDonald for Aish. Wise move? And also if I was to have McDonald in defence who would be a good midfield option below 130K?
Thanks in advance
Eli Templeton is around the 130k mark he should play at least one game depending on performances. Got promoted from the rookie list the other day. Didn't to terribly in the NAB for a rookie with only 54% gametime. Not to many others on the cheaper end.
Just a quick question who do you think I should get out of Watson or Selwood. Selwood plays well against Adelaide but not sure if he is 100%fit.
This is my Opinion
Personally Honest although I Don't have him Liber is the best Bet Even if he has a down day he can still Grab 100 with Tackles and Con. Possesions.
I think Selwood will do a bit the Same as last Season and Watson ay get A bit Caught up with ASADA.
I Would love Liber in my side as M3 But I have Had Watson since Day 1 and I think If I Trade him out now He will make me look like a fool and average 120
I have already got libba… good pick. Probably go with Watson
Had JPK Instead of Libba Ruing it
I'm facing the exact same decision. Leaning towards Selwood.
Should i be concerned that Matthew Wright has been named at Half-Foward…with all the adelaide injuries + his awesome preseason surely he would start in the middle? brodie smith named centre? thoughts please people
Lachie Neale (freo) was named on the ball. He ended up sub. I wouldn't read into it. Even if he starts there he'll get into the guts pretty quick.
Should I be concerned that Dangerfield has been listed as a forward and not in the midfield? just wondering if it will affect his score and , if so, whether Harvey from the Roos might be a better option?
Lock Danger in It will come Back to bite you if you Don't
Danger Kicked 31 Goals Last year and With the New Interchange cap Rule he May Rest Forward More and Kick 2 Goals a week Along with his 25+ Disposals per week
Question: anyone have a link to the Match Reports on the heraldsun website? You click on the matches played in the header bar and a bunch of bar bones stuff only appears, no actual stats. I want to see all the scores from the weekend. Cheers
Also:
Goldstein R1 and Lewis Taylor F6
or
Sauce Jacobs R1 and Josh Caddy F6
I believe Option 2 will Be the Best Option
But hey at the end of the day It is up to you!
Hey Clutters, I assume you have a team in Supercoach, and you're after individual's stats etc. Log in to your team, go to Match Centre then click on All Players Stats and scroll down to the match you want to see and all scores/stats from the completed games are there for you. It won't show you team stats etc.
awesome – there it is, thanks!
I have a dilemma, Ablett as VC and Langdon as Emergency, should I downgrade say Viv Michie/Tyson to M Crouch so I can use the Captain/Emergency loop hole, my other option is D Currie but he may debut on Friday thoughts …
Depends on who your Capt will be if Gaz stays VC. Someone like Dangerfield as Capt. may score you 120, which means you'll only be about 50 points better off by bringing Crouch in to your team for Michie/Tyson, if they score say 80. And you now have Crouch in your team in place of one of them, and theres also a cash surplus there as well, which may help you decide.
thnx Choppers, I also have Watson as C option so therefore no trades but would like to lock in Ablett's score I thought Currie won't play so was trying to loophole C
Gunston or Hale.
Well done, Barron.
But all due respect there be captain gold in dem WC-Doggie hills. Cox's stats reveal a very tasty 140 score on the horizon. NicNat will be the distraction as Cox goes wild in the forward line. Might as well call him the Big Chef because against the Doggies he will be serving up a double order of sausage rolls (did the Yank get too cute with that phrase?).
Don't worries Wombats and Dools, trusting the gut and going forth as planned.
Anyone entertaining HMac as R2. Note, that will mean my R1 is Sandi.
Risk + Risk
Yes – I am. Gets me Caddy in the fwd line too. Any thoughts or insight on HMac over the preseason?!
They have eased him in but he has played most of Nab 2 and Nab 3.
He must be up and about given they have picked him ahead of Dawson Simpson.
I think i'll pass for now but if people are entertaining he or Hickey, I'd go Hmac personally.
I reckon Cox has a couple of good Years left in him. He looked good in the NAB Cup
Do you Think NicNat will get up for round 1?
Looks pretty likely given this article on AFL.com.au: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-03-18/nic-nat-to-…
Interesting bit: if things are going well, NicNat will probably be subbed off. So beware.
This is another reason why I'm going Coxie as my R1. If age starts playing a role, I'll swing to NicNat before he goes skyward.
That is a real dilemma for me TF as I consider Nic Nat a keeper at R1, whilst don't feel the same way about McEvoy or Jacobs.
Don't really want to burn a trade turning either of the latter players into Nic Nat after 3 Rounds and thus may just roll the dice on him and hope he plays the whole Game.
Thoughts?
Go with your gut on this one, Rocksta. Same one that told you about McE and Jacobs. Because I had both as well.
Think it really comes down to you comfort level in 2 areas: that NicNat is fully recovered and that his first 3 round scores might not be at "NicNat-level" (i.e. sub 100).
Hope that helps.
Thanks.
As long as he scores around 90 in R1, I'm comfortable with that.
I'm going Dog Dog
I Have gone Ryder R1 he Always Dominates Rucking Solo and he Should be doing that for the first 8 Rounds
Rocksta same dilemma as had nicnat until about 10mins ago. But starting on bench and likely sub off later is too riskly. Went Ryder as sole ruck will get 90+ with potential upside trade to NicNat later after he plays a bit and coach gives him more time. also he is likely to go down and not cost me money to trade.
Seeing as Matt Crouch probably won't be lining up I had to switch McDonald into my midfield as D10 as I couldn't afford Ellis/Aish and already had Dunstan so then I put Georgiou as my D6. Hope it all pans out right.
I am now also tempted to switch out McDonald for Aish. Wise move? And also if I was to have McDonald in defence who would be a good midfield option below 130K?
Thanks in advance
Alrighty,
Taking into account all of job security, cash generation and scoring output, what is the communities opinions on this:
Georgiou & Shuey
OR
B. Martin & Vince
Cheers guys!
When do teams get announced??
Cats and Crows today, all the rest tomorrow.
Whats everyones thoughts , I have Zorko at F3,thinking of swapping to Caddy now that he is named in the centre, can save cash & with the Cats injury list he should get some serious game time ????
Personally, I don't think you can lose on Caddy.
That said, F3 is a bit high in the order for him. I have him at F5.
Given this, it may be better to have that 3rd potential Premo at F3 and keep Zorko.
Really depends on the rest of your structure IMO
Thnx, i will have M.Wright at F3, Caddy F4, Rohan F5 & McCarthy F6
Both are worth it. I have zorko at f5 and caddy at f6. I think Caddy at f3 means you're forward line is very very thin. Where are the points coming from?
What do you think about L. McCarthy for Geelong. Good bench option?
Thoughts on J Webster, now there are cheaper rookies is it best to downgrade to rookies and which ones that are yet to play …
I'd keep him and if he doesn't perform to expectation, downgrade him to KK.
Timing will depend on whether or not Webster is going to increase in value going into R3, and when KK is on the bubble ( and playing obviously).
Given his form in NEAFL ( some 40+ possies in first game), I wouldn't have thought it would be long before he gets a senior birth ( Probably Round 2).
just considering given the unlimited trades before full lockout, the rookies are coming through left right and centre
Agreed JB, but Other than Georgiou and LMac, which other Rookie Defenders are yet to play?
If you don't have either of the 2 mentioned, and Webster is thus your D6, then yes I'd definitely downgrade him
I have Webster, Langford and McDonald at the moment Langdon is in midfield as Emergency vs Georgiou …
Rocksta, KK is a gun, no denying that BUT…..the defence did well against the Tigers, and there's Rory Thompson and Seb Tape also avail for Rd2. If Bluey decides to drop 1, then Rory comes in. If Bluey decides to drop 2, and who would he drop from a winning team, a team that also has to go to Paterson's for Rd2, then maybe KK will come in, but I believe Tape is ahead of him at the present. So who gets dropped to make way for KK. I believe an injury or 2 is required in the defence for KK to get a run, which will be great if it happens about Rd5-6 and I'll be the first one on him…just sayin'
Sorry Choppers, but I don't agree.
KK was underdone being the only reason he didn't play in Round 1.
With Martin injured, he is now the favourite for he NAB rising star. The kid is a gun.
I predict he will play Rd 3 at the latest.
Mate, you don't have to agree, that's cool. That's what I like about this site, just us fans throwing our 2 bob's worth out there. KK was underdone, no doubt, but so was Rory and I'll tell ya now, Rory will come in before KK. Now whether that's on the long haul to WA or another week when they're back at Metricon, thats up to the match committee. But KK will have to wait. But as soon as he's named, then he's in my side.
LikewiseI
Lets agree to disagree and good luck
Gday all, anyone have news on Georgiou? Thought I heard decision would be made whether or not to upgrade him in the next 24 hours yesterday? Weird how my biggest life issue atm hinges on a guy who hasn’t yet and might still never play an afl game…but hey…stakes seem high right? Fuller any chance? Cheers.
He was elevated off the Rookie list earlier today/yesterday, with Mitch Clark going on the LTI List
Which two should I chose keeping in mind that both I chose will be playing on field
Geogiou and Suckling
Or
L.McDonald and Webster
That's a hard one Josh.
I've got all 4 of those players.
I'd go the proven player returning from Injury, and the cheap Rookie if I had to choose thus option 1.
You need to have all 4. All those guys are cash cows!
Yes it would be ideal to have all four but it doesn't fit my structure which I am very happy with, this is why I can only have two.
Anyone have any insight on Lewis Taylor from Brisbane? I'm tossing up between bringing in Zac Merrett if he gets named Friday night, only heard good things about him. Currently have JKH and Taylor if anyone has any other suggestions for a another FWD rookie I'm all ears!
You have Winderlich,Melksham and Kommer all due back in the next 2-3 weeks which may make Merrett's job security a little sus. I'd wait until at least Rd2 to see if Taylor gets a run before doing anything. Maybe McCarthy from Geelong is a consideration. He was named in the side tonight.
I agree with Choppers. Leave it and see what Happens Rd 2. Jock reckons Taylor is a gun so you would expect he'd get a Guernsey soon enough.
WRT Merrett, I saw him in NAB 2 and I just don't think he's ready for Senior Footy. He may get a go early but yea JS doesn't look good with the 3 you mentioned to come back.
I'd also wait and see how McCarthy goes as well if your F5 and F6 have good JS.
And the Bomber just upgraded Ambrose off the rookie list, which I can only imagine them doing if they were going to pick him round 1. That would make Merret a very unlikely starter.
McCarthy, Geelong.
Going to stick with JKH but if he is not named at 6:30pm, McCarthy is IN at F8
Same
Anyone considering Hutchings as a left field alternative to Shuey? Opinions?
Hutchings is out till about RD3 with a back injury
Thinking of swapping Webster out for Tippet if named. I have enough coverage in defence
Swapping Liberatore and Dunstan out for Vince and Shiels. Believe Vince and Shiels will outscore Libba and Dunstan this week.
What are the community thoughs on this move?
Vince and Shiels will outscore the other two guys every week!
So thats a good move.
Need your help urgently guys!
Mathew Wright or Jackson Macrae?
Really need your input community!
Thanks
Tough one. I'd go Wright. More experienced.
Put Wright in your Forward Line!
I ahve both. They are both required for me. Different lines though
Goldstein and Libba
OR
NicNat / McEvoy and Watson
If the second option which ruck?
Nic Nat and Watson Mate. Watson will average 110.
Not convinced on McEvoy.
Thanks mate, that's the way I want to go. A little worried NicNat is under done though
when both Cox and Nic Nat play, neither score that well.
Cox is effected when they both play.
Nic Nat hardly ever plays without Cox playing because Cox hardly ever gets injured.
When both play, I expect Cox to spend more time forward than Nic Nat.
I wouldnt be choosing Dean Cox this season.
Leuenberger + Watson..
Leuy is a Great SC Pick And I think he could get to 105 This year Thoughts?
Id Say Option 2 and I Would Go NicNat our of those two
I'd go option 1.
Last minute change… Leuenburger to Ryder. Thoughts community???
Hard one Sarah. Ryder is going to get 6-8 weeks with no Bellchambers so should score well. But has been known to be up and down.
I'd go the consistent Berger.
You're right. Thanks for the advice : )
Help Please!
Seeing as Matt Crouch probably won't be lining up I had to switch McDonald into my midfield as D10 as I couldn't afford Ellis/Aish and already had Dunstan so then I put Georgiou as my D6. Hope it all pans out right.
I am now also tempted to switch out McDonald for Aish. Wise move? And also if I was to have McDonald in defence who would be a good midfield option below 130K?
Thanks in advance
Hard to say which will be better out of Aish and McDonald. Both first year players, both top 10 picks. The only difference worth noting would be BL are re-building and will play youngsters all year, therefore Aish having better job security. In saying that McDonald has shown more in the pre-season games than Aish. You could seriously flip a coin.
I would pick McDonald in DEF and get Ellis over Aish
If you were looking at another cheap MID. Nick Robertson from BL is a good chance to play.
thanks, I ended up switching other players arounnd and ended up going with both Mcdonald and Aish. Mcdonald is in defense and Aish is my m8. I already had Cunningham play last week so I put Dunstan as M9. Thanks
I would try and find a place for McDonald in DEF. Good rookie defenders will be hard to find this year.
Thanks for the reply Derek, I was able to fit Mcdonald in DEF
Hey guys need your opinion, is 104,900 to much remaining cash to have?
Not really mate. Especially if you have an underperforming mid pricer.
Not if you're happy with your team.
thanks
you trade your ass off!
With split round 1 I think no. By round 3 I'd have as close to zero as you can after corrective trades are done
Not at All.
As long as you are Happy with your Team you could Have as Much or as little as you Like.
I ahve a good $150k left, if players are performing i'm ok with that. Just means theres more money to upgrade to premiums sooner if you can still knock out a good weekly score.
Enright / Geougou / 14K
Or
Hurn / Langford / 27K
Thoughts?
Also Just Quickly F8 Thoughts
Zac Merret
Lewis Taylor
Lincoln Mccarthy
Which will be the best option?
Hurn / Langford
L Taylor for mine.
Merret = vest
McCarthy = SC spud
Just a quick question who is a better choice out of Watson or Liberatone? Thanks.
Libba for mine. Only just
Community – How strong is the job security of Lincoln McCarthy?
B. Martin & Vince OR Georgiou & Shuey? Thanks guys
Georgoiu and Shuey
Georgiou and Shuey every day of the week.
Thoughts please,Shiels and McCrae or Watson and Michie
Watson and Michie.
But Libba/Rockliff & Michie instead of Jobe.
