lies

SC Legend. · 21/03/2014 at 16:55
Not necessarily, been some solid scores on the weekend with Pendlebury, Bartel, Ablett, Swallow, Sandi, Fyfe, Danger, Wingard, all popular picks and scoring well. Even rookies, Laidler, Langdon and Polec have performed.
Well done Cam, unless proven otherwise, 1900 for 17 is very solid round one performance.

cam · 21/03/2014 at 17:10
Thanks sc legend I have Mitchell suckling McDonald ellis and Dunstan left.

max von muffman · 21/03/2014 at 17:19
1238 with 9 left… el capitan yet to play

SamuelScoach · 21/03/2014 at 18:15
Impossible, 1238/9 is 136.5 and only seven or so players have gotten above 136

max von muffman · 21/03/2014 at 18:30
You probably got the maths wrong SamuelScoach…. 1238 / 13 is the actual math… thus… 95.23 is my average.
9 yet to play means that 13 have played. (Excluding emergencies of course)

rob · 22/03/2014 at 03:34
Im rolling on 1778 with 8 left lowest scores are 81 82 with caddy n mcveigh. Happy with that score lads.. big thanks to chappy. Ryder n swallow with some real nice value scores.

rob · 22/03/2014 at 03:41
My mistake 1747. Mainly rookies left tho. Got the hawks boys mitchell suckling langdon n jkh michie ellis webster + my man priddis. Mr reliable. Jobe went beserk. 3 bombers in chappy. Ryder. Jobe. Hope im pushing 2400 2450. Best score ive gotten if so. Pot luck. But im chuffed!! Come on lads finish it strong! !!

Dee · 22/03/2014 at 09:43
Hahahaha….. Samuelcoach you tool.

jockreynolds · 21/03/2014 at 17:31
fantastic cam!

Super_Freak · 21/03/2014 at 18:41
Well done Cam!

SCdonkey · 22/03/2014 at 15:36
I'm sitting on 1900 (if I decide to take Beams score) at the moments with 5 yet to play 2 Premos, 2 Mid pricer and 1 Rookie. But if I don't take Beams score then I am sitting on 1764 Cap still to play.

Chris · 23/03/2014 at 15:33
2231 with scott selwood to go.

Super_Freak · 21/03/2014 at 17:56
I have 2 of the 3 named as my FWD bench. All good choices. None of the rookie rucks are playing. Currie is probably a R3, and someone like King for R4 as a loophole.

Harrison · 21/03/2014 at 16:58
Langford easily

SC Legend. · 21/03/2014 at 17:03
I'd say atleast 2,300 – 2,400 with high individual scores being polled this week.
At the moment I'm on 1,413 for 12. I'm hoping for 2,300 I reckon! Still got some solid players to come.

Luxy · 21/03/2014 at 18:12
Thanks for your time in getting back to me SC

SC Legend. · 21/03/2014 at 17:01
Higgins for me.
Taylor for you? Personal preference, either one probably takes big kahunas. Taylor is cheaper though!

SCdonkey · 22/03/2014 at 15:33
Higgins would best if you want higher score. Taylor if you cash generation. You choose what is your goal?

SC Legend. · 21/03/2014 at 17:03
*1,413 for 12.

Dools · 21/03/2014 at 17:51
Hi SC 1610 from 12 ATM but still deciding on Nicky Del or Watson Esp after Wife of James has re-opened old wounds 24h B4 the bounce…Hmmmmm

Super_Freak · 21/03/2014 at 18:43
That's a descent score from 12 Dools. Have a lot of your premiums played?

SC Legend. · 21/03/2014 at 17:00
You would have big kahunas looking in Nic Nat JP. However, great POD if it pays off! I'm sticking tight with Leuy, he will be top 2 ruck by end of the year. Mark my words.
Langford, in my opinion, good job security as he is taking over Shiels role as a tagger. However, how do taggers normally go in the Supercoach scoring department? Hmmm,. better options for my team.
Suckling is made of dollar bills.

Super_Freak · 21/03/2014 at 18:09
Have to agree SCL. I'm hoping Langford will continue his tagging role, as I have Shiels in the guts, not usually good for SC scores though.
Can't go wrong with Leuey, he's a consistent performer. NN is still a concern and a bit pricey for mine. I went with big Sauce and couldn't be happier after last night.

JP · 21/03/2014 at 18:49
Thanks guys just made the switch – even though NN is now green lit on the interchange bet his injury concerns are just too risky

Big Janks · 22/03/2014 at 07:10
I made the switch to Cox. His early season schedule (and the eagles easing in NN) made the decision for me over Leuy who has a really tough first 8 games for the Lions and Big Ben as I'm just not sure if they will vest him similar to Bailey last year (I know they were keeping him fresh given his inj history- but the Hawks love to bring on run in the 4th quarter of games).
Cox obviously costs more and is 32 years old. But I think that outweighs the points made above. Tough call but it looks like NN will be cheap as chips come Rd 4/5.

Josh · 21/03/2014 at 17:05
Tyson and Dunstan
Webster and I'd go Langford

Darcy · 21/03/2014 at 17:54
Dunstan and ellis for mine, ellia will be another polec so long as his bodys right.
Would be going Mcdonald and Webster on field, no point having spare $$ on the bench.

THE SALTSHAKER · 21/03/2014 at 17:15
get rid of suckling unless you think will avg 90+ for year better off making cash of rookie who avg 60-70 could be save $200 make $200 by the bye rnds = $400k

Captain joc · 21/03/2014 at 17:34
Yeah that’s what I was thinking as it’s a lot safer going Langford over suckling

Dools · 21/03/2014 at 17:54
No issue for me mate KK s price changes R4 whilst the other two are generating cash, so I have till R6 to make up my mind on KK

rob · 22/03/2014 at 11:37
Id say thats a very wise option. Probs score more n make more cash

Zach · 21/03/2014 at 18:14
None….. but in order probably Nankervis (2nd to Pyke), Thurlow (until Bellchambers gets back), Currie then King.

rhino · 21/03/2014 at 18:19
NANKERVIS is third n Sydney's list DERICKX is second.

Danno · 21/03/2014 at 18:40
Currie. Thurlow missed the boat when they elevated Ambrose and showed there hand.

Autofelatio · 21/03/2014 at 17:48
Dunstan and Leuy, although cox will still perform you will save 50k on Leuy and he'll average just as much if not more i reckon

Jye · 22/03/2014 at 10:58
Great call on Shiels, I'm thinking the same.
If Daisy has another stinky week I'll most likely trade him to either Shiels or Macrae.

Jai · 23/03/2014 at 16:32
I reckon the Caddy/McVeigh combo was the right one still mate.
I think theyll score more than T Mitchell and Swallow combined. You watch – Swallow will back up the next couple of weeks with a 60 and a 70

Autofelatio · 21/03/2014 at 17:59
Mcdonald

Michael · 21/03/2014 at 18:15
mcdonald

Autofelatio · 21/03/2014 at 18:13
Currie imo, North are looking for a third tall I read somewhere (don't quote me though), he's also a gun just cant break into the side atm but is high on the list for the North rookies.

Jack · 21/03/2014 at 18:26
Ok thanks Autofelatio, you confirmed what I thought my gut feeling was trying to tell me.
Really appreciate it.

Autofelatio · 21/03/2014 at 18:29
no worries anytime

max von muffman · 21/03/2014 at 18:31
I agree with Currie… Goldie will need some resting and Currie is the best option to help out apparently… as well as doing some forward work.
So I've heard.

Dale · 21/03/2014 at 22:43
Godly hurt tonight!

Michael · 21/03/2014 at 18:09
are you high? definitely someone different

Jordan · 21/03/2014 at 18:15
not a fan of "players of difference" – just choose good quality players … THAT'S IT.
supercoach/fantasy/dreamteam isn't about who has the most unique team – its about scoring as many points as you can .. SIMPLE.

Ocker · 22/03/2014 at 20:52
Can I please have some of what you are smoking?.

Michael · 21/03/2014 at 18:20
CHOOSING BETWEEN Langford OR Webster = CHOOSING BETWEEN Potentially big scores OR near certain job security.
for me, I would choose Langford because I think although his job security isn't going to be certain; he will earn you cash FAST.

Autofelatio · 21/03/2014 at 18:34
I'm in the exact same predicament Hazey, Taylor looks like the guy to go as Brisbane wouldn't have named him without confidence in his ability seeing as he didn't play any preseason games I don't think. But, still a decent sized conundrum that I can't work out for the life of me. (considering putting in Priddis for Rocky as I can then bring in Ellis but that move doesn't feel right…)

Autofelatio · 21/03/2014 at 18:49
Personally I'd keep Suckling, however Jimmy Webster seems like a nice pick at 240k if you really want to get rid of him. Would leave you with a fair bit left to use elsewhere (around 110k) but atm I can't see anyone around that 350k mark in the defence that's worth it, apart from Suckling Pig anyway.

rhino · 21/03/2014 at 18:56
OH really? Name your side then.

Tim Darbyshire · 21/03/2014 at 18:57
Make that 7 to play!

rhino · 21/03/2014 at 18:59
Ok, that is realistic, that is a very good score so far, well done

Autofelatio · 21/03/2014 at 19:03
Don't think so but if he does it doesn't matter as it should only be for this week so he can be eased into senior footy. He's a gun and will definitely make you some nice cash and post some nice scores if you need him

throttlefinger · 21/03/2014 at 19:47
Yeah, it's catty-corner to my bungy hole. Burned me too much last year. Toenails falls off when tagged. Strong when left alone.

Dools · 21/03/2014 at 21:47
Hahahahaa Just dippein' me toe in the water mate …. Calm down LOL

Shinboner · 21/03/2014 at 20:25
Probably a bit late, but at the time, I probably would have said Cox. Ryder not looking too bad though. Will play against a Goldstein hampered by a sore wrist.

Hawkaz · 21/03/2014 at 23:13
shoulder*

Shinboner · 22/03/2014 at 10:49
My bad. Looked like a bad wrist at the time.

Big Janks · 22/03/2014 at 07:17
I made the switch to Cox. His early season schedule (and the eagles easing in NN) made the decision for me over Leuy who has a really tough first 8 games for the Lions and Big Ben as I'm just not sure if they will vest him similar to Bailey last year (I know they were keeping him fresh given his inj history- but the Hawks love to bring on run in the 4th quarter of games).

throttlefinger · 22/03/2014 at 23:51
Ended up switching to Ryder, Biggie J. Allowed me to get Jobe and Tyson. Thought Paddy did a little better than score indicated but will take it.

taylorwoof · 23/03/2014 at 18:54
Jobe!!!!! That was glorious.

Tim Darbyshire · 21/03/2014 at 19:33
Chris I have $43,000 in the bank. Weather or no I am right only time will tell?

Super_Freak · 22/03/2014 at 08:22
Wouldn't worry about the cash. If you can afford Tyson, I would pick him!

Dale · 22/03/2014 at 13:25
I am taking a punt on Dahlhouse, fingers crossed as downgraded Watson to get him and caddy in.

Super_Freak · 22/03/2014 at 08:25
Yeah Pittard fair stunk it up, had high hopes. Only had McD and Merret last night. McD a bit disappointing too!

Blueprime · 22/03/2014 at 01:11
M & E

Shinboner · 21/03/2014 at 21:49
Would've been a lock in my team was it not for ASADA.

Autofelatio · 22/03/2014 at 01:04
Exactly the same as me Shinboner, that and using up all my salary cap haha

GarglesnarfFC · 21/03/2014 at 22:01
None of the Kangas finding the pill as the Bombers won't share it! Only 5 Kangas in top 20 possession winners and none in top 10. Bombers are looking VERY SC relevant!

Shinboner · 22/03/2014 at 00:08
I'd throw Cunnington into the positives too. Concussion, but finished the game solidly.

Wattsieesq · 22/03/2014 at 00:24
I tipped the bombers, so happy they won. They have been fast starters over the past few seasons. Let's see if it can be sustained this year. BTW not a bombers fan at all.

SCdonkey · 22/03/2014 at 00:32
I think i was that upset, couldn't even get the Bombers word right lol. But it was a great on game on their behalf. Now can't sleep, thinking about what Scott is gonna do next week up against The Dogs.

Wattsieesq · 22/03/2014 at 00:40
lol. The roos were competitive in patches. They just fell away before half time and then in the last. The last quarter fades have been par for the course as far as the roos are concerned.

Wattsieesq · 22/03/2014 at 00:45
From a SC perspective, having Goldie injured is a blow. I know he played the game out but his ruckwork and score says he may have a spell. I have currie at R3, so hopefully he'll get some time. From his pre season form it looks like he'll need it. He's sure to be a slow moving cash cow. All roos mids were woeful as you said. Ziebell in particular. 47 smh

SCdonkey · 22/03/2014 at 08:46
You're not wrong there Wattsie. Good thing I didn't start with Goldie was gonna wait for his price to go down and I think its going to, if he plays next week carrying an injury and going up against Minson most likely he'll get managed and Currie should be called in as an R2 if Goldie is not 100% fit. For Supercoach and Roos supporters sake Scott better pick Currie over Majak.

Jim from Gippsland · 22/03/2014 at 13:59
if currie comes in next week there's my first trade in the rucks….thurlow to currie….
thinking I will make 5 for the year….#earlyprediction

SCdonkey · 22/03/2014 at 00:43
Right, right shinboner Cunnington did ok. But expected more from him, Ziebell, Pietre, Goldy should've dominated Ryder, Harvey did some silly decisions, Bastinac, Atley and Thompson these guys did not perform as they should have. And why was Jobe free to run around like he did. What was Scott looking at? I'm sure Jobe wasn't invisble.

jockreynolds · 22/03/2014 at 07:08
It was insipis by North last night Donk. Insipid mate. I refused the believe the thing was over at three quarter time because they hadnt given a yelp yet, Never kicked into gear. Wayno's call on Goddard could be very very revalent

SCdonkey · 22/03/2014 at 08:22
Ah Relevant Jock, Yes Jock! Wayno was right on the money about Goddard if only he still had DPP, I bet he would have been a popular pick. I'll be looking at getting him in my team before the byes Jock. As for my mighty Roos, ASHAMED Jock, I was utterly disgusted. I thought after kicking the last 3 Goals at quarter time to stay in touch, they would've kicked a gear in the 2nd quarter. But stalled and never got going. Pathetic performance all over the ground.

medadsson · 22/03/2014 at 16:12
DT is for movie goers. Supercoach is for those who read books (or at least know how to)!

shane · 22/03/2014 at 01:15
correct, thats 1178 unless I later have to prove myself, lol.
No standouts so far barring watson, beams and sandilands, but steady scores from guys like polec, K. simspon, danger and martin have all helped, along with leaving mcdonald as emergency.

NutSack · 22/03/2014 at 01:58
yeah seems about right. 2500-2600sc will be scored my many people.
im on 1850 with 5 to play so hoping to scrape home with 2250-2350

Super_Freak · 22/03/2014 at 08:31
Do you reckon his numbers will improve Jock? He's the only Roo I have, but he was on the park, had Langdon on pine like many others. Probably swap them next week, just not real comfy having that many dollars sitting on the bench this early on.

SCdonkey · 22/03/2014 at 09:25
I'd stick with him freak, McD showed a glimpse of brilliance last night. Like what Jock said, and I think McD was just a bit of an eager beaver at the start.

jockreynolds · 22/03/2014 at 13:48
Yes definitely mate he's quality

Super_Freak · 22/03/2014 at 16:06
Ta Jock, might stick him on the pine this week and see how Langdon goes. He seems to be a fair ball magnet!

Jim from Gippsland · 22/03/2014 at 13:56
took a while to adjust to the extra pace and intensity of the game vs the bubble gum NAB cup stuff.
now he knows what is required he will be better for it. should get his average up around 75 to 80 for year I am thinking

Dale · 22/03/2014 at 13:30
That’s the problem with this stupid year long split round…. Too much time to second guess yourself!!!

Dools · 22/03/2014 at 15:04
Your leading the way Sarah …Keep it goin'n mate

Sarah · 22/03/2014 at 09:12
Personally, I’d leave Aish off the field. He has the harder game against the hawks.

@klavo25 · 22/03/2014 at 09:52
Ellis… Both will score mid 70s

Presty · 22/03/2014 at 13:14
was thinking as much cheers bro

Pieman1978 · 22/03/2014 at 10:09
I think you’ll need 2300+ to stay in touch. Wouldn’t be surprised if the round high score is 2550+

Jim from Gippsland · 22/03/2014 at 13:41
agree

Sarah · 22/03/2014 at 10:08
Me too!!!

Pieman1978 · 22/03/2014 at 10:11
Nice to see the ladies getting into SC Sarah. How’s the rest of your team travelling

Sarah · 22/03/2014 at 10:22
I love it!! I'm sitting on 1808 with 7 to go!

zimmerbd · 22/03/2014 at 11:38
Nice score.

Jim from Gippsland · 22/03/2014 at 13:41
staring down a huge score there Emma, good stuff

Dools · 22/03/2014 at 15:05
Second that Jimbo ..Well done Emma

Jim from Gippsland · 22/03/2014 at 13:39
I would go Ellis purely due to being at subi.

WombatsFC · 22/03/2014 at 13:00
Hi Jim, I deduce from your lust for Jobe that Joel and Nathan are already in your squad.

Emma · 22/03/2014 at 13:08
North put zero pressure on Dons, Dons have Hawks, Blues and Freo I can't see Watson being allowed to run around on his own for the next 3 matches

Jim from Gippsland · 22/03/2014 at 13:36
good point emma.
He will certainly need to back up again next week. Question is – Will Watson be in the top 10 mids for the year…..thinking yes. so maybe get him in ASAP. Depends if Daisy and Shiels look like making cash or just sit there. If they are marching upwards then they need to be moved on and a new strategy used. Ideally Watson and Matt Crouch debuting in round 3 as the plan B.

Jim from Gippsland · 22/03/2014 at 13:32
hey wombat.
if joel is joel sellwood then no, I don't have him but I can't get him till after the bye due to round 8 bye issues.
Have to admit, you have me on Nathan……Nathan who? I think I might have missed the joke?

Super_Freak · 22/03/2014 at 13:37
I'm tipping Wombat is talking about Nat Fyfe. Gun also. I'n not gonna get too excited over Jobe just yet. His past history is littered with massive scores like last night as well as a lot of average ones too. As Emma said, he won't get it as easy most weeks as he did last night.

Dools · 22/03/2014 at 15:11
Hi Lads and Lassie's ..On Jobe I wish I had him (For the Score) but he has proven himself yet again so well done to those of you who picked him. To the rest of us who don't . It is only round 1
I went with Nicky Dal scored 98 in an insipid preformance by North so he is LOCKED Imagine the output if North actually show up!!!!

Super_Freak · 22/03/2014 at 16:01
Such a surprising effort by the Roos, or lack off. I tipped them to win and they just didn't get out of second gear.

choppy · 22/03/2014 at 12:18
Jock just offers guidance mate, cant rely on him to pick your whole team for you.

Super_Freak · 22/03/2014 at 12:47
Ease up!
Plenty of us enjoy the comedy of the Podcasts and the general banter about teams on this site. You don't have to listen to the podcasts or contribute to the community if you don't like what you see or hear.

WombatsFC · 22/03/2014 at 12:53
Idiot.

Neil · 23/03/2014 at 01:27
Mate, Simple solution pick your own team like everyone else in the community did. We are super fortunate to have Jock and the crew giving us so much guidance.

Eagle · 23/03/2014 at 12:48
You are obviously a moron with not SC experience.
Team lists determine who we choose in our sides.
Rolling lockout meant we were changing our sides all week
THe majority now will have Langdon and Laidler as they were named on the field first up.
When Polec and Swallow scored well and then Langford was named on the field options changed and dictated new possibilities. I dropped Suckling ,Hodge and Webster and freed up 200k for upgrading Daisy to Jobe.
Jock does a fantastic job but like all super coaches we pick our final teams on the run as they are named and depending on early scores and gambles.
Sounds like you don't have a clue fool.

Sarah · 22/03/2014 at 11:44
Haha, your guess is as good as mine there!!

WombatsFC · 22/03/2014 at 12:56
Hahaha I suppose the rest of your team was picked by the community for you as well?

Josh · 22/03/2014 at 14:31
Not really what makes you think that? I am just a bit nervous as this will be my first crack at getting 2400+ and I don't want to stuff it up. I am leaning towards Ellis and Michie but I just wanted some confirmation. My team wasn't picked by the community as I spent a lot of time researching and I stayed away from players that had a lot of hype from the community like D.Thomas which so far has proven to be a success. I also chose some players that most of the people on hear wouldn't choose like Higgins and Watson. I am not trying to start an argument but I just wanted to prove my point as I spent a lot of time into making my team. Josh

WombatsFC · 22/03/2014 at 15:19
Josh if I was heading towards 2400 in round 1 I wouldn't be asking anybody anything! Your choices to this point must have been outstanding and I wouldn't be stuffing it up by asking for outside input.
Which 7 are still to play?

Jimmy · 22/03/2014 at 15:06
Shoosh Wombat everyone else is asking very similar questions…

Dools · 22/03/2014 at 15:12
Hey Wombats, How is your team working out????

WombatsFC · 22/03/2014 at 15:24
It depends on when I look at it Dools. Like you I am a fan of life enhancing substances and sometimes my perspective can be somewhat obtuse.
However, despite making stupid decisions like McVeigh & Boomer it's looking ok 1699 with Mitchell, Hodge, Webster, Langford Tyson, XEllis,and Higgins yet to play. Should finish in 2100-2200 ballpark

Josh · 22/03/2014 at 15:57
I still have Mitchel, liberatore, Webster, higgins, Ellis, Kennedy-Harris (who might get changed) and Michie to play. If Mitchell and liberatore go big and the others get around the 80 mark I am a chance to get to 2400 but realistically I will probably get around 2300.

Dools · 22/03/2014 at 16:51
OMFG you went Higgins, Nice output buddy I wont tell Wayno you have the H in your team too LOL. Just so you know I'm watching Tyson like a …opps I nearly said Hawk but I 'm watching him

choppy · 22/03/2014 at 12:20
Im going with berger personally, reckon hes got plenty of improvement in him

Jack · 22/03/2014 at 13:51
Thanks!! Thats what I'm going to do now

Ocker · 22/03/2014 at 13:51
Leuenhamandeggenberger for mine.
Cheers.

Shinboner · 22/03/2014 at 14:49
Leuey for mine, but only just. McEvoy is one of the better ruckmen around the ground, but isn't exactly the greatest tap ruckman in the league. When your ruckman has an off day in terms of disposals, you'd like to see him boost his score with hitouts – this is where his game lacks I reckon.

Super_Freak · 22/03/2014 at 12:49
Tyson & Aish if you have the cash.

WombatsFC · 22/03/2014 at 12:55
Depends on if you want onfield points, quick cash, or interchangeability between the lines.

michael · 22/03/2014 at 13:10
was thinking tyson on the ground and aish or taylor on the bench. aish seems expensive for a bench player, but think has better JS and point scoring ability than taylor

LA5 · 22/03/2014 at 15:37
Tyson and Taylor

Super_Freak · 22/03/2014 at 12:58
NN could go off, but I'm just to worried about injuries. I figured he is too pricey to risk, so I went Sauce.
As a lions man I have selected Leuy for the last couple of seasons, and I reckon he will still continue to pump out good scores. Even with T. West playing he should still score well as he tends to go up forward and kick a couple.
They are all sound choices, just up to you if you want to gamble on his previous injuries.

Shinboner · 22/03/2014 at 14:40
Try not to sideways trade. You did the preseason research for a reason. Stick to your guns and don't butcher your team structure over one game.

Mebois · 22/03/2014 at 18:40
i know but we picked some players with risk and with risk comes dangerous possibilities, so i am just preparing for the worst.

Super_Freak · 22/03/2014 at 13:56
Early days yet, but I'd be a little concerned too. Not convinced he'll ever take that step to elite level everyone is hoping for!

Shinboner · 22/03/2014 at 14:44
See the statistics mate! Scott said it himself, we just weren't getting our hands on the pill. Contested footy, usually our strong suit, was down and we gave guys like Goddard, Heppell and Jobe a free run at the footy. It was no-touch footy and that should be rectified very soon. And when it does, Dal Santo, Cunnington, Swallow and Ziebell will experience increased SC productivity across the board. Still confident he'll rise, stick to your guns.

Dools · 22/03/2014 at 15:20
Agreeded Shinboner Del Santos is LOCKED, has it all and Left foot kicking from the Arc for a team lifting goal Beautiful, So glad I stuck with him and as stupid as it sounds he was replacement for Jobe (as posted above) It would be nice to have Jobes score but Nicky Dal scoring 98 in losing side Awesome prospect. By the time Zieball was put onto Watson he had 20 touch's Way to late . Coach will never miss that again Roo's to win the next 6 he is filhty and he should be.

Shinboner · 22/03/2014 at 15:43
I've got Cunnington myself, and I'm stoked he managed to score 92 despite coming off concussed for almost a quarter.

Shinboner · 22/03/2014 at 14:46
Take a look at Wanganeen. Has been decent in preseason and with Whitecross out for an extended period of time, he might rack up enough games to give him a decent boost in value. *EDIT* Ignore that, he's copped the vest.

Maenads · 22/03/2014 at 15:23
I have Taylor M10. Best option? I hope so.

Ocker · 22/03/2014 at 16:26
I put Taylor in the mids even though he got vest. (Good Player and will get games) If you want a forward look at O'brien Hawks.
Cheers.

zimmerbd · 22/03/2014 at 15:46
Suckling and Ellis.

LA5 · 22/03/2014 at 16:16
Thank you so much for your advice it really helped.

David · 22/03/2014 at 15:49
Oh and Caddy 81

Rat · 22/03/2014 at 16:02
Don't think it will mean too much as michie will hopefully be one of the best rookies this season.
Personally my Mid bench rookies are Ellis and Michie and I would much rather spend the extra money for an 75+ averaging rookie rather than a 50 averaging rookie.

zimmerbd · 22/03/2014 at 16:37
Thanks for that. Bit of a crises of confidence at the moment.

LA5 · 22/03/2014 at 16:08
I reckon you still got to have Michie in the team because he'll make money and he has pretty good job security in the long run.

Rat · 22/03/2014 at 16:04
stick with taylor or take a punt on JKH will be the decision a lot of coaches will be deliberating

Super_Freak · 22/03/2014 at 16:15
Thanks SCD. Hoping my Lions don't get touched up too badly this arvo. Just about to settle in, and watch the game!

SCdonkey · 22/03/2014 at 16:28
Your Welcome Freak. I have taken a Punt on Mitchell as my Captain opted not to take Beams score. High risk, High reward! Hope I made the right decision.

Big Janks · 22/03/2014 at 17:55
Hopefully he picks up in the 2nd half! I would like Gunston to pull his head out…

WombatsFC · 22/03/2014 at 19:29
Ouch!

SCdonkey · 22/03/2014 at 19:40
Big OUCH! If only I knew he was going to be the tagger on Rockliff.

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 09:30
Yeah I have both of them, didn't have the C on either though. Langford didn't seem to be tagging, and played pretty well. Bit concerning if Mitchell is going to play that role each week.
Glad I backed in Shiels, reckon he's in for a good year!

jordan · 22/03/2014 at 16:27
anyone know anything about obrien or close???

SCdonkey · 22/03/2014 at 16:39
Close and O'brien both played in NAB1. Close had 6 Touches, 5 Tackles and 4 inside 50s played 77%. O'Brien 5 Touches, 2 Contested Marks and 2 inside 50s played 67%

Dools · 22/03/2014 at 16:55
Ta SCdonkey, Loved the take on the games keep it going, Looked at this post 2 minutes too late LOL but love the work ethic thanks mate I went L. Taylor ..Lets see Off to the fridge……

David · 22/03/2014 at 16:32
1st one mate

Wattsieesq · 22/03/2014 at 19:48
Roughie did well for you in the end. Breust was red hot, consistency has been his problem in the past. As a Hawks man I hope he keeps it up.

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 09:33
Yeah wasn't looking too good there for a while. Picked up a few in junk time at the end. Shiels looks good too!

throttlefinger · 22/03/2014 at 23:32
Brilliant move, Shinboner.
Had Dunstan on bench. X left. Hope he complete the ton trio with Polec and Tyson.

Shinboner · 23/03/2014 at 16:33
Cheers, TF. X man should score well, methinks.

Dools · 22/03/2014 at 20:47
SCD I love the live feed mate, Nice

SCdonkey · 22/03/2014 at 19:47
I was going purely on my gut instinct and stats I have been researching. And took that gamble, and a gamble I will surely pay and learn from here on end.
**edit**
Took a big chunk of 54 points off my score.

Gold Rush · 22/03/2014 at 20:35
What's worse if one had Rockliff, they played on each other and pretty well nullified each other!

SCdonkey · 23/03/2014 at 00:23
Hahaha, funny you said that I actually have both. Doh!!!

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 09:36
Me too! Hopefully Mitchell isn't going to be the primary tagger this season

Dools · 22/03/2014 at 20:45
SCdonkey, I applaud your style, it did not come off (unfortunatley) but as you point out it cost you 50 No biggy mate and a gamble i would gladly embrace if I where in the same place…Chin up next game beckons buddy. PS I like the Gut call mate

SCdonkey · 23/03/2014 at 00:26
Thanks for the support Dools, didn't do too bad at the end still managed to score 2082 and still have 2 to play.

WombatsFC · 22/03/2014 at 21:49
Aaaaarrrgghhh!
Webster was the sixth

WombatsFC · 22/03/2014 at 22:05
2124 Xellis, and Higgo's bastard son yet to play

Dools · 22/03/2014 at 22:52
Hahahahah Webster was always 1st choice for me too mate, played well but ceiling has been reached 56 maybe I should have got Yeo after all LOL .
2104 ATM with 1 to go, so you win mate. Settle down this is an endurance race not a sprint Hahahah
Unless you what me to laugh more. Game

throttlefinger · 22/03/2014 at 23:30
See how Yeo does. Backline has not been performing all that well. Ugh.
2193 with same as my man Womby to play. Higgs go from Burnman to BOOYAman (me hopes)

throttlefinger · 22/03/2014 at 23:28
Yeah. That's didn't feel good. Langdon only one that hit ton.
Hope Webster can make it for next week. Not sure who worthy of switching out for if not. Maybe KK if he makes the 22.

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 09:35
I hear ya. My only defender that cracked 85 was Langdon and he's on the pine. Very concerning!

Ocker · 22/03/2014 at 19:46
Totally agree Pieman. But I can add McVeigh to that only 100 pointer on the bench. (Langdon) At least Langford did okay.
Cheers.

Shinboner · 22/03/2014 at 20:20
Hanley disappeared as the Hawks created a nice lead for themselves. Was his usual productive self before that. I guess Sammy just wasn't very effective. He certainly had enough disposals to crack the ton.

Grufflez · 23/03/2014 at 02:41
Expect more of the same i reckon…New Coach + Tough draw makes for a lot of uncertainty at the Lions, I'll be hoping this continues so i can pick Rocky up later on,Playing Rocky as run-with/tagging Mitchell i view as the Lions trying to reduce damage from the get-go rather than really believing they could win!

skindog · 22/03/2014 at 20:38
yep same problems PIEMAN, they will be ok, keep the faith!!

WombatsFC · 22/03/2014 at 21:34
I don't think Libba was on the plane to Perth

Billy · 22/03/2014 at 21:42
really?

Shinboner · 22/03/2014 at 21:59
Source?

WombatsFC · 22/03/2014 at 22:31
Didn't see him in WA news footage of Dogs arriving and getting on the bus

Shinboner · 22/03/2014 at 21:59
Made a 'game-time' decision to leave Aish on the bench, with Dunstan on the pitch. Stoked with the decision. You're sitting pretty though, good score!

Billy · 22/03/2014 at 22:05
So he is playing?

throttlefinger · 22/03/2014 at 23:21
Well done Shinny!

rhino · 22/03/2014 at 22:49
How you going overall Dools?

throttlefinger · 22/03/2014 at 23:19
Nice Dools!

throttlefinger · 22/03/2014 at 23:26
Need X and Higgyboy to put a nice ribbon on the 1st round.

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 09:53
Nice writ up SCD. Was a little disappointed we let Hawthorn pile on the goals in Junk time. Really disappointed that Mitchell tagged Rocky. Put a massive dent in my anticipated scores.

SCdonkey · 23/03/2014 at 10:43
Thanks Freak. I must say Sammy bloody Mitchell did a good job on Rocky. Rocky was very dangerous if he was let loose. Personally I think the game was won or lost if these two weren't at each other. And for those people who think Mitchell and Rocky were a spud just because they didn't score a TON!! think again, cause these two are an elite players. Take them off your team if you must but end of season you'll be the spud.

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 11:03
I have no intention of trading them. Still think Rocky will be Top 5 midfielder this season. He won't have the likes of Mitchell tagging him every week. Just a little concerned if Mitchell is going to tag every week, feel it may impact his scores a little.

Dools · 23/03/2014 at 11:10
Agree SCdonkey, I'm more worried for McDoonald Thigh and Webter Groin but thats next week
Love the write up mate very nice still I happy with 2104 with one to go

SCdonkey · 23/03/2014 at 11:14
I do however have a concern on Sammy Bloody Mitchell, since he did a really good job on Rockliff. Ristricting Rocky to only 1 Touch on the ball all through 2nd quarter and 2 touches in the 3rd. Will this be Mitchells permanent role for the season?!?
What are your thoughts Jock and fellas, if you boys are reading this.

Dave · 23/03/2014 at 00:58
Nice mate!!

Rick · 23/03/2014 at 01:13
I'm pretty happy with that start, Its only round 1 tho

Dave · 23/03/2014 at 01:20
I’m 2187 with Priddis and Higgins to play so u have me covered!!

rick · 23/03/2014 at 08:28
Priddis looks good value, should bring in some good scores for you dave
Still a couple of spots left in my league if anyones interested L: 353156

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 09:49
Great score Rick!

Shinboner · 23/03/2014 at 16:15
Great score!

Callum · 23/03/2014 at 18:44
Very solid! Excellent start just like john last year, though he got burned badly in rd2

jockreynolds · 23/03/2014 at 09:30
Ripoing score Pieman

Pieman1978 · 23/03/2014 at 18:13
Owe it all to the wisdom this community brings to us. Many other great scores for the same reason. Keep up the great work lads.

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 09:44
Nice work Pieman. Only on 2072 with Higgins and Dahlhaus to play. Hoping Dahlhaus has a big one!

Dools · 23/03/2014 at 18:05
What happen Emma you where all over it yesterday???

zimmerbd · 23/03/2014 at 13:33
Was so close to having N Jones in my team. Just didn't have the guts.

Shinboner · 23/03/2014 at 16:44
With me, it was more along the lines of not being able to fit him into my structure. He will be immense – he's always had the talent, but has been held back by a weak team. Roos will definitely look to make him their star player.

lovers gonna h8 · 23/03/2014 at 13:34
scd – your write ups are so bloody long and annoying…embarassing really. also judging by your grammar you're not native english – indian or chinese maybe? either way, please stfu
🙂

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 13:52
I don't get comments like yours. If you don't like the write ups, THEN DON'T READ THEM, and as for the attempted racial insult, grow up!
SCD obviously loves his SC and footy in general as it seems he has time to watch every game, as I don't. He takes time out to post up final teams with who is vested, which is convenient for other members on the site. As I don't get time to watch every game, his summary is insightful and helpful.
In summary, keep your immature opinions to yourself!

Mebois · 23/03/2014 at 14:14
your right there superfreak,
while scd does his research and we thank him and read his posts, we will gladly be int the top 3k,
while you will barely mange 50k.
thanks scd.

lovers gonna h8 · 23/03/2014 at 14:34
mebois – glad you will be in top 3k by reading someone else's research….sucks that i will barely mamage 50k now though, i may as well give up (even though i am currently on 2300 with libba and higgins to play…)
super freak – trust me, if time travel was possible i would go back and not read SCDs write up….unfortunately i will never have those precious minutes again though.
sorry you dont like my opinion…but that does not make my opinion wrong or stop me from being able to express it.
in summary, shove a fat one up your weenus 🙂
p.s. im hotter than you
pps…. poo poo

ppps thought id extend this post seeing as you lads seem to love overly long and useless posts (reckon this will get a few likes now :))
love
always

BiG MaC · 23/03/2014 at 14:48
Actually gotta agree wid this guy – some people think that the whole community wants to read 5 pages of massive long write-ups, not really what this forum is for..
bit rude but think he got his point across.
peace out

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 15:34
It's not that I don't like your opinion, everyone has one, I take offence to it being racist and immature.
Just like you H8, SCD, myself and everyone else on this forum have the right to post their opinions and thoughts, without petty discrimination!
I'm surprised such a self professed SC legend like yourself has time to grace these forums!

Blueprime · 23/03/2014 at 15:39
I disagree with your opinion and the manner in which you express your opinion.

Shinboner · 23/03/2014 at 16:42
The irony.

Peaceislife · 23/03/2014 at 16:47
I think you guys should chill

Dools · 23/03/2014 at 18:10
That i s such a cop out mate or do you subscribe to the Racism.

SCdonkey · 23/03/2014 at 16:56
Sorry you feel that way H8. As for the racial comment its nothing new. It's just sad in a civilised world we live in, it stilll exists with minority such as yourself. It's a pity for a person who seems to be well educated, and judges a person by their nationality or race.
But anyway…
This community is not about Nationality or Race.
Lets just leave it as that. Done and dusted, all is forgotten.
It's all about Supercoach and Footy
My grammar and long annoying write ups.
If it makes everyone happy for me to just post supercoach scores and final teams or nothing at all.
Feel free to comment.

Dools · 23/03/2014 at 18:04
What the F just happened, You are aplogising to this F 'tard because you have an opinion and a keyboard.
I like the preview and review from SCdonkey I also like the informal chat forum …What I do not appriciate is Racism…And Bigotory, I 'm not English I'm an Austrailian, Mick the Mad is a Celt not an Anglo Saxon Jock hails from Frankston…(Is that part of Austrailia) LOL or are you going to convince me he is Engerish too , What about Crouching? Mayanmar (Is that a real word ) and Higgo would you drink Charrdonnay with him at least he fits the profile for you..Mate if you is such a guru why is he here…Unfortunatly opinions are like arseholes…evryones got one

H8 you have some emotional issues. This is a community forum. If you don’t want to read peoples opinions then don’t. Put your axe away & celebrate your great scoring round. Peace people

Dale · 23/03/2014 at 11:04
You can’t move him once he’s played.

Jimmy · 23/03/2014 at 13:46
xavier ellis hasnt played mate..

Grufflez · 23/03/2014 at 13:08
Xavier Ellis should score well mate

Jimmy · 23/03/2014 at 13:46
yeah fair enough, probably not worth it

Dale · 23/03/2014 at 11:03
It’s more realistic to say that the rookies range is simply 250 k and below so less guns and more rookies required.

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 11:25
Not too sure about your figures Dale. My main Midfield midpricer has gone pretty well, Shiels 108. MacCrae & Dahlhaus still to play, even though I dont have MacCrae, both look promising. Wright and Caddy up forward scored in the 80's and look to keep improving.
Also, Tyson 111, Beams 136, although Beams is almost premium price and Tyson almost Rookie price.
Swallow smashed it in defence, and I am kicking myself for trading him out. Webster and Pittard have dissapointed though.

Shinboner · 23/03/2014 at 11:49
Pittard was a panic trade for me when Broadbent was named the sub. The latter almost eclipsed Pittard's score in just one quarter.

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 12:06
At this stage my only real corrective trade will be getting Swallow in to the backine before R3. If he goes off again next week, his price will go up and make it more difficult. May have to downtrade webster and uptrade Pittard. Langford looked pretty good, and if Langdon goes well next week I'd be happy to have him on the field.

Shinboner · 23/03/2014 at 13:09
The last-ditch downgrade to Pittard leaves me with enough cash to go straight to Swallow in one trade. I still believe Broadbent can average more across the season, but him being a vest risk was a variable I hadn't even considered until now.

Dale · 23/03/2014 at 15:51
Yes I am considering beams as primo and Tyson as a rookie, but my hopes are on Dahlhouse after ordinary scores from savage, thomas, Caddy and Webster, still only week one though.

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 16:03
I have Webster & Caddy. Watched his game and reckon he will improve. Went hard all night, got booted in the head for his trouble. Gifted a goal to a team mate in the last which probably would have got him close to the ton. Not sure on Webster though, his injury may make my decision to upgrade him to Swallow much easier.

Dale · 23/03/2014 at 23:49
Swallow-exactly what I was thinking, or Laidler if the cash is needed to put out any other fires.

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 12:25
Sounds like me Shinboner. 2072 with Dahlhaus and Higgins still to play. Defence smacked me around too!

Mebois · 23/03/2014 at 14:23
i have 2149 with libba to play, hoping i can get 2300 but doubt it.
my defence wasn't to bad, mitchell 84, enright 97, swallow 135, b. smith 78, lmac 48, langdon 111.
the weak links was my fwds: danger 107, franklin 53, titchell 93, gunston 89, caddy 81, mcdonough 45.

Shinboner · 23/03/2014 at 16:15
It was a tale of two sides for me. The research I did helped me steer well clear of Buddy, under the premise he wouldn't fire on all cylinders and that there was better value to be found – in this case, Chappy. Unfortunately I missed out on Swallow, thinking he'd be fools gold this year.

Jimmy · 23/03/2014 at 12:24
2002 with Ellis,McCrae and Higgins to play, not very happy, defenders were a massive let down.

Dave · 23/03/2014 at 15:57
I had him too mate and watched him closely.
His tackling was great but Leppa played him forward a fair bit.
I’m gonna trade him out as I can’t see him averaging 100+ if he
Plays forward

Jimmy · 23/03/2014 at 16:58
Don’t really see any sense in Leppa’s positioning. Using his best player as a tagger just seems idiotic. I’ve got $200k in the bank and an early corrective trade is no biggy.

Super_Freak · 23/03/2014 at 18:12
Redden is a great player, but will never be SC gold. He will churn out consistent 80-110 scores, a bit like Enright, but he doesn't really play the role to be a great SC scorer.

Shinboner · 23/03/2014 at 13:12
Back yourself in. You made the decision to bring Buddy in on the back of your own research – try not to let one game change that. Michie will come good, do you think there's another way of bringing Tyson into your side?

Rocksta · 23/03/2014 at 17:09
Shinboner, I hope you're right about Michie but quite frankly, I can't see it.
It's not that he had a bad game, it's the nature of his play ……… Soft.
Tyson looked a much better player than Michie ( even if he is slow). Quite frankly, I don't understand why everybody has high expectations on Michie. He played one solitary afl game before last night.
Not having a go, but I don't think he is going to be much.

Shinboner · 23/03/2014 at 17:13
Yeah I get where you're coming from, Rocksta. Never had Michie in my team personally – was never convinced by him.

Rocksta · 23/03/2014 at 17:05
I'd stick with Buddy but from what I saw last night, Tyson is a much better player than Michie.
Michie is soft and doesn't like the hardball. Quite frankly, if he keeps that up I can see him being dropped in a few weeks.

Danners16 · 23/03/2014 at 22:15
Yeah I think that Tyson has had more AFL experience than Michie so that is why I'm trading him

Grufflez · 23/03/2014 at 13:03
Reckon Higgins could go more if he doesn't get vested and plays the whole game
I'm looking for a 85-90 from him tbh

Pieman1978 · 23/03/2014 at 18:37
Good last minute moves eagle. If your not sure on someone give them another week. Trades are gold. No price changes for a few weeks so analyse.

Jerry · 23/03/2014 at 13:27
I think second option based on week 1 form. Swallow and Trelor look set for big years, and will earn you team cash. Watson is awesome, for me it would be between him and Selwood for my first mid field upgrade in the bye rounds.

medadsson · 23/03/2014 at 13:42
Option 2

Dogs · 23/03/2014 at 18:01
Option 3 ….or too much thinking
Suckling to swallow, Thomas to Tyson , leaving me the spare cash to have a look at some good forwards and before R3 trade Rohan up to a forward up to the value of $450k . Unless I'm hit by injury in between .
Split round R1 sucks balls, all the players I'm tlooking to get back in with corrective trades were in my squad at one time or another , but moved out with so much talk of unavailble cheap rookies, then all the rookies are suddenly named and my planning goes out the window

Don't Know Why you Picked Dan Cross in the first Place but I would Trade him and Thomas and Grab Ablett/Pendles and Tyson in

Have got ablett, cross was a shaky move! I kinda went off his nab cup form which was pretty good but now I look at it their were much better options such as treloar! That I actually did have a really good look at, next week I'll be contesting for around 2250 if my premos perform and make changes to cross and dale Thomas!

Hanley will be a top six averaging defender this season. Can you try and fit Swallow into your side elsewhere? North will rebound and the performances of our entire midfield will improve across the board. Keep both.

Libba. Tackling and contested footy machine. Could crack 110 with 20 disposals, with the number of tackles he lays on his opponents. Priddis is consistent but very handball happy.

Chappy will be managed through the season. The aim is 16 games for him. It’s been well documented. If you have quality cover then maybe. But not for me, dodgy hammys. He’s a finals player when SC has finished.

SCdonkey · 23/03/2014 at 21:15

I had 2163, only 68 points lost to bench players if I had of swapped Langdon on for McDonald , and Ellis over michie.
