The weekend chin wag
How are you getting on this weekend community?
Folk that held onto Sam Mitchell will be pretty chuffed with themselves for their discipline. Well done if you’ve had reward for being patient and level headed.
But this weekend will have its share of challenges that we need to unpack, so let’s get stuck in. Remember – as the weekend unfolds and you look towards your round 4 selections to leave your questions on the voice message thing by clicking the red bar. We’ll try to get as many questions into Sunday nights podcast as we can.
Lets chew the fat:
YOU CAN NOW BET ON SUPERCOACH SCORES – CLICK HERE FOR THE MARKETS
I am happy with my start of 336 from 3. I won't be using the captain loophole for Sandilands, will take the risk on Ablett.
Yep – it will be a genuine Captain selection weekend now. I'll be on GAJ as well BC. Good start mate.
that was a great call!!!
419 from 4. Nice to get improvement from Pav and Suckers. Sandi as VC didn’t produce as hoped so the C goes onto Little Gary or Pendles. Still to decide which.
Although I’m sure a lot of people turned Mitchell into Swallow, and in the process added to their war chest, it was great to see the under-rated one perform after holding onto him.
Captain on Gary! Brisbane at metricon, he will run loose for 130+
Ultimately a great suggestion!
I swapped Hodge to Swallow & kept Mitchell so that worked well for me. Interestingly, Langford spent most of his night tagging his opponent out of the game (& doing a great job of it). More tasks like this will likely keep his SC scores low. You have been warned!
And also had the job on Watson last week.
Happy with last nights numbers but still tossing up whether to trade out Ryder or Dixon. Thoughts?
Who’s longer term? GCS are saying 2 weeks for Dixon. Is Ryder out for longer?
I reckon Ryder might just be the better longer term option by a bees D
They said only one week for Ryder but he couldn’t even walk mid week. Good point though – I think Dixon might be out for longer. Oh for an honest injury assessment from these clubs!!!
Zorko and Thomas in this week. McEvoy missing may cost me a league win this week.
Hi jock,
Who do you think I should pick as captain Ablett or Minson?
Opponent has pendlebury.
Gday there Marty – GAJ all the way mate
Cheers
Rookie mistake* as I left Langford on with both MacDonald and Webster sitting on the pine……. not enough attention paid on a Friday night may be crucial. 371 from 4. Burnt the VC on Sandi so GAJ will be raising the bat today.
*pun intended
i failed to find the pun in your comment
Can't complain so far with suckling and Sandi hitting tons. Going with Gaz as Capt. Didn't have the big ones to chuck the C on cotchin or Danger, nor did I have the time to use them as loophole options, would have like to tho.
Jock do i hold swanny? Or is buckley outta love with how he trains – would you say he will spend more time up fwd or its just till he gets fit?
Langford promised so much NAB cup. It's disappointing when you've got a predominately rookie backline. KK on the bubble this week would lose me money, hoping matty fuller gets a gig soon
Hi Jock. A bit dirty on the Mitchell to Swallow trade, though helped me move burn man Higgins to Zorko. Mitchell or Enright for next trade?
1st World problem here, but who rates as a better captain option – GAZ or Pendles? Also Jock, looking to go from Goldsmith to Jacobs in the Ruck to generate some cash. I seem to have all the right rookies so far. Whats the case for Jacobs to be a keeper if he stays fit.
322/3 Glad I held onto Mitchell Suckers Sandi VC Didn't pay off. Should have VC Ablett like I was going to.
Ditto, except i will have VC on GAJ!
Jock, do you think its worth trading out the big berger for mummy? Worried his reduced output may continue based on trent west coming into the team
I think you've already missed out on mummy's big scores, and in a bad game Berger scores 80+ so I'd hold Berger
Cheers mate, I agree. Think ill hold
I downgraded caddy to tyson in order to upgrade matty wright to Zorko, hopefully wright doesnt come out withone of his preseason scores this week and zorko can kepp pumping out some big ones! Kept mitchel and suckling in though so thats a lready a big win!
Is anyone having trouble completing their trades? I have tried continuously the past two days and it just keeps freezing.
is this occurring in Dreamteam? it happens to me to and very frustrating. Working fine for me in Supercoach though.
Only had 2 players. Both exceeded their projected score so can't complain. Hoping for big game from May with a view to trading him and kennedy haris out for a premium forward and rookie on the bubble. Any suggestions on the premium. Already have Martin, danger, and wingard.
438 from 4, won’t take sandy as vc so tossing up between mummy, ablett and pendles. Need some help
Stuck on who to trade Dixon out to. Had to trade Barlow out and chose to get Tyson in, so worried that if I don’t sideways or upgrade Charlie my team will be too underdone this week with all my rookies. Especially because of Mcevoy not playing. Any suggestions?
I assume you're playing him FWD?
I went Dixon to Zorko, and picked up the best part of $41K.
If you're feeling ballsy go Dixon to May and pocket $172K!
Yep playing him forward.
I started with Zorko which is why a forward option is difficult. Interesting suggestion with May, started the season well – not sure if I'm ballsy enough! Was thinking of going to Duzzy.
The option I'm leaning towards is Rohan to Ambrose to pocket the cash and get in some premos next week – I can say goodbye to my rank and a league win this round though. Toughy!
I went Dixon to Chappy, hoping it pays off!
With Sandi’s score as vice not loophole-able I am left with the conundrum of who to pick as captain as my most expensive player is danger. These are my options
Zorko
Danger
Smurph
Beams
Swallow
McVeigh
Rockliff
Cotchin
McVeigh
Hanley
Or even Buddy or Pyke? Any suggestions welcome
beams i reckon as guthrie might go to pendles or swan
Pyke for sure this week i'm expecting 130+ from the big man!
Danger or hanley
Murphy should score 130 with Walker back in the side.
Beams will score 130+ Guthrie will do the tagging job on Pendle like he did with Danger.
I have Guthrie. What sort of scores will be get? I have enough to upgrade to Swallow but wasn’t convinced of the Swallow hype.
G'day Derek , D. Grimes Melb $ 436 and has DPP Def/ Mid He is a next week trade in for me ATM B/E is only 78 and his current AVG is 93 . That's what I reckon Anywho mate
Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I think I’ll go Murphy because he has a good record against Essendon
hi guys, need some advice. had vc loophole on sandi and was thinking either ablett or mummy as capt
That is what loophole for. Take a risk but have Ablett as backup
Id go beams from that lot!
3 down and 3 tons. Pretty happy with that. Sandi could have done better given Big Boy was out. Great win by the Hawks. On track to get to September.
Wattsie
11 hawks had 100+. I was happy with Sam’s lazy 114 but not happy he sat on the bench for the last 15 mins.
Who should I trade I'm stuck. I have Deledio, Goldstein, Rohan and Wright that I am thinking of getting rid of but need help
I am trading out Rohan for Ambrose and then upgrading Michie to Tyson. More money all round.
Worth going Dale Thomas down to Tyson to upgrade Higgins to Zorko? I'm torn with what to do with trades this week, have most of the gun rookies, and everyone is playing.
Hi there Jock and community, thanks for all your help and this great website.
Just wondering who to get in out of Marc Murphy or Nathan Jones? If I went with murphy I would only have $8900 left other wise Jones would leave me around $20,000
If Laidler doesn’t get green vest do we put hime or Georgiou on the field?
Hey, I would definitely choose Murphy over Jones as I think his output will be higher, and yes I would put Laidler on field if he doesn't get the vest.
Jones > Murphy
Hi community, just a question regarding AFL fantasy. Supercoach have a rolling lockout, enabling last minute movements around bench players/vested players etc. Why does AFL fantasy continue with a full lockout?! Can't even interchange or change captains. This AFL Fantasy site is killing me. Supercoach and dream team only for me next season.
I tried dreamteam in past years, but I meant picking seagulls and trashbins like swan. Can’t make myself play anymore
Yes you can. Click the 'I' button to interchange players in AFL fanatsy. It does have a rolling lockout and you can change your selections.And you can still trade mid round also
I was looking at a potential horror week on Monday, with Mitchell, enright , Barlow, Rohan, all under injury clouds. Decided to hold onto Mitchell and enright so it was out Barlow, swing Mitchell into the mids, so if both he and enright were both late outs I could at least pick my better rookies to score. In swallow to the back lines. 1 trade done.
I fell $6k short of being able to trade Rohan to zorko, and with Rohan being named I decided to get rid of Matty wright , and bring in zorko thanks to a lot of advice from the community, bank $200k in the warchest. Hopefully Rohan can pull his finger out , I only want 60's from him, how hard is that,lol
Pretty hard given he was the sub today lol.
Yep, he's gone next week
Enright out for tonight.
Blicavs and Adams subs for cats v pies
Rohan 23! Zorko not worth mentioning, Swallow tore him a new one
Yep, regretting that one now, at least I got swallow and kept s.mitchell right…..and C on gaz . Finally getting a chance to watch a cats game , up until now I have been happy enough with caddy's scores , but geez I can see why everyone wants to jump off him. Wastes the ball a lot and a lot of clangers
Oh, not to mention wright cracking the ton too. I knew whoever I traded out was gonna make me pay
So was swallow tagging zorko?
Played on each other, wouldn't say tagged. Zorko nearly had his head ripped off early too and didn't play well at all after that
Swallow copped a massive elbow to the jaw from Merrett that would've put smurph in a coma, but he didn't even leave the field!
Zorko's score wouldn't be so bad if was tagging Swallow but they were going at it head to head. Swallow clearly won the contest.
Caddy puts himself in position to get the 50 50 ball I think he is just unlucky with the final disposal But at least he gives the Team a chance to reset behind the ball most of the time…. I really don't want to trade him out I think he will come good with more game time . now it's just a question of patients for me
Hi Dools I also have Caddy and he is looking very much like an infant Burnman. Great value to the team but a points thief in SC I probably should have traded him for Zork instead of matty wright.
Who else is there up front?
Cheap would be young Marco Paparone BrisVagas Avg low 60 's
but I 'm leaning towards Breust wont score like that every week but I think he is a key player like Rioli and atm less then 500K
Yeah I might hold off for a week to get a second look at Fasolo
Fasolo is a definite maybe but I have too many Rnd 8 byes so I 'looking else where my man
I'm holding onto caddy, Rohan has to go tho, touch wood with no other trades needed next week I'll have up to $380k to spend on his replacement ( that includes rohans price)
Is it worth the risk going for one of the mid prices like a merret, May, hunter . Or going down to a rookie ? It's for F6 , so need someone with JS which I don't see in many of the rookies
May and hunter the pick from you r post Dogs.
May under scrutiny for high hit on Zorko wait on MRP result if you are feeling brave Go for it after Review Hunter will score well as long as the Doggies get up
Cheers dools, will be waiting on news of enright too. If he's gonna miss again I'm dumping him, swing s,Mitchell back into the back line, and bring jibe into the mids , won't give me much to spend on Rohan then, so wait and see what happens.
This year 4 promos missing early games to injury or suspension, but I'm doing better than last year as I had 6 outs this time last year
Hey Dogs keeping diggin'in mate You are on the frontline in a trench and the bad guys are attacking in force, follow your gut and stick by a decision like your first starting 22
Inspirational words dools, in the words of jock himself ' it warms my bloody heart' . Besides the wright/zorko trade I've only corrected rookies and Barlow so far, ridden the rocky suspension and back line injuries, lookin at an ok round now thanks to GAJ, rocky, treloar
Trelor what a game score in an un intresting footy game ! Mummy hit 160 WTF 10 posies , ya 60 hit outs and all that but 160, glad TF made me do it LOL
Who should I get for Deledio? Selwood or Matt Thomas
is that a joke?
Gee I hope Zorko doesn't spud it up this week. Traded Pav to Zorko last minute, and Pav finally came good last night. Anyway I would still assume that Zorko will score better over the course of the season though… I hope
Hi Jock
I have Brodie Grundy as my 2nd ruck with Sandi.
I am thinking of upgrading him to Mummy… What do you think?
Cheers
Mick
Hey community love the page,
Thoughts on Rohan down to Ambrose and Michie up to Matt Thomas
cheers
That is a great trade selection and one that would reward you greatly.
Agreed but beware Ambrose is also vest material for the season so bench cover only where as Rohan will become a regular later in the season
Rohan is already a regular….
….PAIN IN THE ARSE of every coach who has him!
Bizarrely though he hit his paltry BE so at least won’t lose value. Definite ‘get him out’ for Round 4.
What to do with Buddy??? Believe he will improve just a question of whether to hold whilst he works it out?
Swans delivery has been poor and must get better.
Delivery was a bit better. He had to go and get his own ball a lot. He is Gun! Bang bang
Hold after today I'd reckon…
Should I start dunston or Ellis in my midfield.?
id say ellis as they are playing each other and dunstan is a vest worry
Not after last night what a gun!
I need two of these players on field L McD Langdon Georgiou.
Will McD back his score of 90+ last week.
Will Langdon play like he did in Round 1
Will Georgiou consistently score 60-70 points which I'll be happy to take, playing against GWS this week might score higher.
Hi community, is there time to switch vice captaincy in between the suns and pies games?
Cheers
kennedy harris or rohan on the field. rohan sub. is dunstan any chance of vesr. I need help fast
vest*
Do I play Dunstan vs West Coat or Langdon vs Geelong?
What are the communities thoughts on Matty Wright, Jimmy Webster and Josh Caddy?
Haven't made any trades as of yet but want to know what the community thinks.
HOLD OR TRADE?
I would trade out Matt Wright for Steven May who has played brilliantly over the past 2 weeks.
Macrae you gun! Can't say the same about Titchell.
Damn he is good how about Parkers effort mate
Not watching that game Dools, what happened to Titch? Delighted with a combined score of 263 by Libba and Macrae!
150 odd from the wookie McRea AWESOME . Mitchell withdrawn from the play at the 3/4 mark I think Honestly he was canting but was useful but compared to the team he was non existent So looking back on the Stats travelled at 89%% Efficiency but got 55 SC points . I think he must be on a go slow (injured) methinks..
My Bag mate 120 for 30 possies Damn I missed him bugger Mcrea
Macare is a scrapper. Hmmmmmm.
How's your team travelling, mate?
Parker's effort was massive. May need to swap him for Higgins. (yes, yes, yes, don't tell me)
Hey buddy One game from parker that's all I got so he may be trade bait next week from me
He's done 85+ the last two weeks. Not bad comparatively.
Bit hasty?
not Hasty mate ZORKO was HASTY but no one was listening so When I say Parker is on the block after one great result I jump off every one else jumps on and still no one listens to Keyboard , Next G device and lill'ol'me
Zorko wasn't hasty. Sound move given I had Wright whose value was going down. Zorko's going up. BE was sub 0. Even with his crap score, Zorko will average 100 for the year. All I ask from my F4.
Ya!!! 41 is an output I want from a keeper LOL and in the mean time Wright hits 100. This is not a game about B/E mate. This is a long term stratagem
On a more cheerful note Dunstan hits 141… Player. I'm just sad that I did not even put MacRea on me radar what a player …but at the same time I was impressed yet again by Swallow I thought he would fall over but he is a player as is Day So much to contemplate buddy much thinking time required Hahahahaha (Insert Carlton Draught) Geelong nearly killed me and somehow Pendles scores 115 and GAJ hit out 176 (C) 364 WOW! Tell me you had a C score mate
Introducing Dools…King of the Past the Fact Insight. C'mon dude. Wright's form looked HORRID. 84/51. And give me a tad bit more credit than that. It was based on both BE and gut from watching him play. He didn't look good. Douglass was taking his pill. Zorko looked fantastic against a punishing Cats. Yes, there was a chance Zorko could go to dumper. But that can happen to almost every player not named Gazza, Selwood and Pendles.
Yeah. I like the play of Macrae. Still nice price. Like Swallow but not enough to fit him in. Think he'll dip in play once Bennell comes back. But yes, he's a player.
Don't have Gazza. Putting the C on Mummy vs the Dees. tomorrow is a new day…hope a MUCH better day. Wombats is kicking me down the street right now. Forecast: massive bombast!
Whoa there angry man I was not havin' a go Dude . I like the sound of King of the Past Fact Insight though but I recall warning all that Zorko was not the play to make this week but you and most others went for the neg B/E cash pump I'm just stating fact. Not having a go TF not at all I would have got rid of Wright if he where in my squad but not for Zorko that's all I'm sayin''
Sorry if this is offending you it is most defiantly not my intent
You didn't. I'm having a bad morning. Ask Keyboard. It's called "projecting." In other words, "acting like an A**hole to someone who doesn't deserve it." Apologies Dools.
You did do that. And coming from you and KennyB (good or bad nickname for Keyboard?) I should've listened.
Hanley's form is picking up. What's your and KennyB's thoughts on him? Houli has been KILLING ME.
Apologies for the gruff tone, my friend. Bad morning so far. Wifey in a mood. Kids drank Nugent juice…wango tango, intensity in 10 cities for the last hour.
And Zorko's score didn't help waking up too either…
Hey mate I think Hanley scores better when he plays down the back in a losing side. When he plays Mid to fwd he usually gets around 85. but this is a good thing as they a re a poor team in comparison to Hawthorn or Freo now do you keep him in the hope that Leppa keeps him down back and inversely Zorko plays (Scores) better with Rich and Hanley up front So Rich is gone for the year . Hanley must play in def and Zorko needs to be friends with Rockcliff, but Rockey does not need him to play Zorko will need Rocky to play is this making sense mate
It does, my man. Seems like too many "ifs" and "musts" to have both Zorko and Hanley on my team. Just trying to figure out who to bring in. Not liking Houli's form. Broke a ton last week but got 74 this week and 68 his first game. Best to keep your prems until injury I know.
Lots of thinking to be done after this round. Higgins on the chopping block. Webster did good in his return from the groiner.
Charge up Keyboard and make sure he gets a good night's rest Sunday…will have many questions for him next week.
Me thinks Houli for Grimms mate Future King Prediction LOL
HAHAHA. Well done, my forgiving friend.
I already have Dunn. Doing well. Having both would inspire SC shittestorm. Or not? What's keyboard say about adding Grimes with Dunn?
When he plays the midfield opens . have you noticed that the Cats let him go… Why they see his play because that's what they want They understand what he is attempting his team does not, crack the middle …you win the game ..Oh and please delete your last post only 500,000 million people now are on what was next weeks trade LOL
Like it TF but you need to delete you 2nd last post man only 1 billion people in China and they are all whispering mate LOL.
Nice background with Phil Lynett and Thin Lizzy Respect!!
Huge Lizzy fan. You?
I was a roady back in the day for U2 that's all we played on the road and abba I kid you not
NO WAY!!! Been listening to Chinatown this week. Very underrated Lizzy album. Production is crappy but songs are amazing.
Was in a touring band for many years. Live and Dangerous and Aerosmith's Live Bootleg were the go-to albums post show when we had an all-night drive to the next town. Just balls out great band.
Small world mate very small world. BOYs are BAck in Town AWESOME, and ABBA's Supertrooper for the ladies LOL
Parker will be a keeper. Won't be tagged and tackling machine. Non-stop motor. Sell at your peril, my man.
Hey dools you got any forwards under 465k worth bringing in for caddy
Shaun Higgins…
(Opens envelope and takes out notecard) "What won't be in my team next week."
So far this round is showing the dangers of trading out your premiums/ high mid prices too early, cotchin, Libba, franklin , Pav, Mitchell all showin why they made original teams, and all in the mix of players traded out. I'm even lookin at m,wright now sitting on 93 before the game has finished thinking , I'd take that for his price, but I pulled the trigger and got rid of him
Beware the bandwagons. This week we had the Zorko, Swallow, Thomas and Tyson bandwagons all getting going. They can promise you quick cash, but usually they are short lived until the next one
Not sure why trading out Libba was even an option. Even when he scored in the 70s, he had 20+ disposals under a heavy tag. Then the next week he hit 110+.
I jumped on the zorko wagon, trading out wright…..if I was home before the start of the swans game tho I would have traded Rohan when he was named sub. Didn't expect zorko to hit the same numbers , but 85-100 would have been nice
Swallow actually did ok. I went Guthrie to Hanley instead of swallow. Just don’t think he will end up in top 10 defenders this year
Not sure why I had Guthrie
Had Hanley, traded in Swallow for Pittard. Paid dividends, that's for sure.
Who is everyone playing on field? Dunstan against WCE or Langdon against Geelong?
Relevant HT FS2014 scores:
GAJ 86,
KK 41,
Swallow 38,
May 25,
Cameron 9,
Redden 63,
Rocky 61,
Hanley 59,
Luey 37,
Aish 27,
Zorko 25 (traded him in this week %$*&##!!!),
Taylor 21
Captain on GAJ. You bewty
Hate to burst your bubble but so will 90% of Supercoachers…
You're not bursting my bubble. It's great for other punters. It doesn't take away that I'm stoked I have Gaz with the C when he pumps out 180 odd.
I wouldn’t say 90% loads of people are going with mummy, pendles n sell wood
Yay traded out Buddy fro Zorko this week working out well so far…
Hahaha I think all of us who jumped on Zorko are kicking ourselves. Swallow shut him down and still scored 100+ lucky for me I also jumped on the Swallow bandwagon
Ablett is King
that is all
Which 2 from 3 as starters – McDonald, Webster and Langdon .?
Which player should score the most points, in order, out of langdon, l.mcdonald, ellis or dunstan?
Ellis, macca, Dunstan, langdon
Dunstan, Ellis, Langdon McDonald
GAJ and Libba with BE of 153. Monster numbers to beat the BE.
1519/ 13 – thanks Captain Gazza
go Pies!
1976/16 with GAJ as skipper. What. A. Round. Duncan hits 142! Dunstan 143! If things go to plan with the remaining six, 2470 looks to be a likely round score.
that's an awesome score who do you have to play?
Cheers, mate! Cunnington, Chappy, Georgiou, L-Mac, Polec and Ambrose/Impey (to be confirmed).
1355 from 10 with GAJ captain. 😉
1274/11
hoping for 2300
Glad I didnt board the Zorko train. Biggest scam of the week
Oh well I'll take the 50k and turn him into Rocky
I was so close to trading him in but luckily I didn't! I'm glad I didn't either
Bartel Caddy and Beams clanger kings.
In trouble this week. Pav out for zorko, wanted more constancy. ….ha. McVeigh, Martin, T Mitchell not doing it for me. Thought I could cover Fyffe with rookies too. 🙁 sad panda
Held Enright, Mitchell, Hurn, Pav, Danger and Buddy. Traded in Mumford for McEvoy, and ignored Mthomas and Splorko. Didn't panic and trusted my premiums to come good, and now staring 2300+ down ATM which might help recover some of last weeks 1994!
NICE. Think Pav's form will keep picking up, GFC.
Pav has had one average game in week 2, and his kicking was off in week 1. I expect he'll be a 95 avg for the year, and given his price that will do nicely. Looking forward to watching Kelly from GWS play this arvo, reminds me of Pendles the way he moves through traffic.
Yeah, I like Joshy boy as well. Think he'll be SC relevant come next season. Unless he goes ton today (doubt it), be hard to slot him in.
Will be a fun game tonight. Especially Tyson playing against his old side.
Kelly looked REALLY good. Don't know if he can pull that off against a strong side. But may be worth finding money to bring him in for Crouch.
Your Pendles comparison is dead on. Pure silk. Hmmmmmm.
Michie to Kelly looks like an option. Stops me getting Hanley for Hurn though, Jaensch instead will have to do.
Yep that's almost a no brainer, Garglesnaf.
I've almost thought about downgrading one of my underperforming prems to get him and some spending cash. Feels rash. Mid rooks I have: Tyson, Polec, Dunstan, Ellis and Crouch. May just have to settle on that and fix the back line.
Good job Gargle. I'm looking at having Pav and Buddy in this week.
You shoulda got rid of enright this week before price rises and a free upgrade. he's done mate
Enright and Hurn don't change this week, so I get to see who comes down in price this week and jump on board, no rush to trade them.
fair enough. i assume you have swallow and jaensch then. hanley wouldve been good to jump on to aswell. i got rid of enright coz he's toasted i reckon.
Bwahahaha! Hands up who had Dunston on the bench, meeeeeeeeee! 🙂
Who do you have on the pitch?
Not this year. I took his great r1, poor r2 and now this. Loved his work rate.
Had to pick 2 from 3 of Tyson, Polec and Dunston.
The other two may very well tonne up anyway. Not a bad headache to have.
Yeah fingers crossed
I have all three on field. Fingers crossed hope they all do Ton up.
Yep, I went with Tyson, Ellis and Polec instead 🙁
Me too! But lucky I held onto Michie so suddenly he fits a double purpose… loophole for GAJ as captain (had him VC) and I now pick up Dunstan's 143. Boom!
Well done Harry but that's way too much good fortune for this early in the season!
Karma is gonna get you back at some stage.
Whats more important:
League Win or getting in Dom Tyson?
i can loophole Dunstans score for the win or trade in Tyson for the cash cow.
Any chance of Tyson getting the win for you?
Who will you trade out? If it's Michie then yes.
Horrid. Sub scores. Lucky to crack 2100.
Hs he turned back into Zorko the Crapnificent?
I'm only just on track for 2100. Forward lines killing me, 5 played for scores of 99,56,55,46,21 ….if I didn't have the itchy trade finger that 46 would have been 100
1714/ 6 To go Polec Tyson Mumford Geourgiou Mcdonald and Jobe
Hoping to push 2300+
I had Bloody Mitchell well atleast he beat Zorko by 10 points
Right on Canman. Hope it happens!
Did you end up snagging Zorko?
Yep. PERFECT timing. Oh well. Hope he can make it up next week.
Yeah hope Mummy can make it up for you.
2251 with 3 rookies to play – Tyson, McDonald and Polec.
Traded D Thomas down to X Ellis and upgraded Rohan to Zorko.
Zorko my only spud. Libba, Breust, Gazza as Captain and Duncan onfield…nice.
That's a pretty solid score. Possible score of 2500+ well done Wino.
good score but why get rid of daisy? he will start smashing out 100's. he's just to good a player not to.
@Sputnik – Calculated trade – risk and timing – isn’t that what SC is all about?_I wanted to get X Ellis before the price rise – better for cash generation. Last of the choice rookies that I didn’t have. He scored well too. I had no intent to keep daisy as a premium midfielder anyway.
I still think Zorko will be in the top 10 forwards for the season despite his clanger ridden performance this round. I am not naive to the fact that like Buddy he will still have the occasional stinker. _I also needed to get rid of Rohan. There are no real choice forward rookies so I needed cash to upgrade him to a premium.
I almost got Pav instead of Zorko – would have absolutely killed this round if I had done that. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but Zorkos early scores forced my hand to act earlier than intended . At least I kept the faith with Mitchell, Cotchin and Libba – no sideways transfers. Only one more premium required for my forwards now. I chose Parker over Buddy in my initial team and am happy with that decision.
Question: What is the point of keeping a Daisy/Rohan combo onfield for scoring purposes when I can have X Ellis/Zorko instead?
The 10 to 20 points extra that daisy may score over X Ellis are lost via the low scores from Rohan as my F6.
FYI
Current team (The Filth)
B: Mitchell, Hanley, McVeigh, Swallow, Langdon, McDonald – Georgio, Langford
M: Ablett, Beams, Cotchin, Libba, Tyson, Polec, Dunstan, X Ellis – Aish, M Crouch
R: Sandi, Jacobs – Currie, Derickx
F: Dangerfield, Martin, Breust, Parker, Zorko, Higgins – JKH, McDonough
Only one very minor problem at this stage is McDonut…non playing rookie.
I'm trading Caddy after this weekend.
How do I go to?
Rioli if you can afford it
Sitting on 1500/13 with 5 Premos and 4 Rookies to play.
What are my chances hitting 2500
Watson Murphy Mumford Wingard Harvey
McDonald Polec Tyson Frost
Hoping all the Rookies hitting 90+ and hoping at least 2 Premos hitting 140+
and the other 3 hitting 100. Should get me 2500 or close to it.
Good luck getting the 2500 mate, it will be about 300 more than me Grrrr
Good chance, but even 2400 is excellent in the early part of the season.
Not trying to get ahead of myself but I have been
Already Thinkng about Midfield Upgrades and I think the Perfect Midfield will be
Ablett Pendles StevieJ Selwood Watson Rockliff Libba and Beams
Or Maybe 1 of Barlow and Fyfe
Thoughts?
Hard not to find a spot for cotchin
Hmm Yeah. Probably does deserve a spot
I knew dumping Buddy at the last second was going to bite me.
And picking up Zorko would do the same…just didn't think it would be SO soon.
I almost did it vic. I have scars from Cotchin to Matt Thomas. When you trade premiums they taste it & punish you
I wouldn’t sweat it. He’ll provide enough sub-90 scores this season to make you thankful you did it.
Trading whilst intoxicated should be banned. Someone build a breath testing app that stops drunken trades! On the Beams & not the dane or clay variety!!!
Sitting on 1881. Still to play:
Tyson
Wingard
L McDonald
Polec
A Walker
2283 projected but based on averages will hopefully get me above 2300.
2159 with McDonald, Tyson and Polec to go. Hoping for 2450+ and a decent rise up the ranks after last week’s disaster.
Pav would have stunk it up with the rest of Freo if Hawthorn had say Schoenmakers or Lake in their sides. As for Zorko, had his head knocked off early in the game by May, looked pretty concussed. He didn't look right & would have been a possible sub candidate had Rich not done his knee. No talk of May being reported (yet) but how else do you bleed from the nose if head contact was not involved?
Yeah I was also one of the many who traded him in. I'm not panicking- he still had 20 possessions and now with Rich out that's only going to increase his midfield time. Still think he's an excellent long term prospect and there's not that many in the fwd line to choose from to be honest!
More than 30000 people traded Zorko in this week. Ouch! A last minute text from Higgo stopped me from trading buddy to Zorko. God bless you Peter Higginbotham!
Wish I got that text,lol
Wish he’d sent me one to stop me from trading Cotchin to Matt Thomas
Has there been any news on Titch? Didn't look right yesterday and then subbed off for Rohan ? Would be a low blow to anyone's self esteem if they are fit and the coach think Rohan is gonna do a better job
Should I trade JKH for Ambrose?
1831/ 17 with D.Thomas,Tyson, Murph, Polec & Mcdonald to play will hopefully still get me up around 2300 . Was hoping for 2400+ but the forwards especially Zorko, Tmitch & Lewis Taylor really stunk it up this week.
Stocked with my decision to go Tyson instead of Zorko. In one quarter Tyson has almost outscored Zorko already and will make me heaps of cash!!! First big trade win of the season in the bag!!!
Community. Should I rage trade mastern? I really thought he would step up further with a good draw. Will just keep bleeding money. Help!
Relevant HT FS2014 scores:
Treloar 95
Mummy 68
Kelly 46
Cameron 33
Patton 19
Tyson 61
Grimes 47
Watts 35
Vince 24
Georgiou 17
JKH SUB
Thanks for posting these scores Michael.
Does any one Know where LostLariken Is ?? I miss the teams posts Lost are you Lost mate>?
And SCdonkey have they eloped and left???
3 goals in total across a half = torture.
Is anyone watching this? I'd recommend if you're suffering insomnia….
1789/17, Ambrose, McDonald, Polec, Murph, Daisy to go.
Hoping for around 2150 or so. 3rd straight round of 21something.
Traded in Zorko for Caddy for net loss of 4 points for the round, so no great gnashing of teeth yet, although expected more obviously!
I do expect him to average 100+ for the rest of the year, just an off day.
Others premos below par Dusty, McVeigh (getting nervous with him now…), Titch, Pyke, Beams.
Early trade action will be to offload Rohan maybe to Taylor to stock warchest with some cash (only have $11.5K), and possibly Enright depending on whether he comes up for next week.
