lets hope so. i was meant to have him on my bench but didnt have time b4 the game started to make my final trade so papley will now be on the bench.

Crowmagnon · 07/05/2016 at 14:59
61.

shammers · 07/05/2016 at 15:06

Cheers

Holty · 07/05/2016 at 16:41
ive had him since the start but how simpson and docherty are playing at present, id be looking at them.

Neverweaken · 07/05/2016 at 17:33
Id go Simpson first. Don't have him cos I have weitering and Docherty. This week weitering went to shaw. Bring in Simpson next week

Benjamima Puddleduck · 08/05/2016 at 13:37
Definitely high up there, especially as the games get more challenging. Also Corey Enright.
Carlton are in good form atm but so are the Cats. I think Geelong will sustain there form longer and in turn players from there will have better output in SC footy

Nicholas · 07/05/2016 at 15:53
Derek that sucks man I feel for you

Tommo09 · 07/05/2016 at 16:01
That does suck

Hawks · 07/05/2016 at 16:13
Yeah, same situation 2 injury effected weeks in a row for McCarthy (must be made with Wayno's Bulga wood)

hedski · 07/05/2016 at 16:13
I put him on in front of BenKen/Petracca.
Still have to pick one of them to field and I know I'll get it wrong 🙁

Tommy · 07/05/2016 at 16:49
I am having the same issue!!!!

Derek · 07/05/2016 at 17:13
very annoying, not like i didn't have a choice.
also put JSmith on field instead of BenKen.
it has a "one of those weekend" feelings about it

hedski · 07/05/2016 at 17:48
Yep. Tracc on over BK not lookin good

Phil · 07/05/2016 at 16:22
I'm going parker

Luviboy1 · 07/05/2016 at 16:38
Second thoughts, just hit 115 with 5 minutes to go.

Benjamima Puddleduck · 08/05/2016 at 13:38
Danger to go 150 plus next week

Ben · 07/05/2016 at 18:21
how? his playing better than parker

Tommy · 07/05/2016 at 16:57
No ruckmen has scored 100+ against Hickey this year. Bit risky

Neverweaken · 07/05/2016 at 17:07
Danger adjusted to 129. Danger it is.

Derek · 07/05/2016 at 17:14
i think you are looking at selwood. danger 119

Derek · 07/05/2016 at 17:15
had VC on Danger. Decided to go C on Gaz. go you good thing

Derek · 07/05/2016 at 17:26
you are right, Danger 129. oh well, done now.

Neverweaken · 07/05/2016 at 17:26
Nope Danger is 129. So switch suckling on. Take amt score and danger score as captain. Win win win win solution

Tommy · 07/05/2016 at 16:56
BK over Tracca is bold? Whats your thinking behind it?

hedski · 07/05/2016 at 17:05
Bout t swap

Tdobss · 08/05/2016 at 20:32
Gawn capt :0

Luviboy1 · 07/05/2016 at 17:07
My prayers go out to you mate…

siri · 07/05/2016 at 17:34
Thanks mate

Derek · 07/05/2016 at 17:41
besides having Mccarthy onfield and scoring 15, JSmith 49 was ok, putting Hartley onfield instead of Braown, and a last min switch C from dangerfield to Ablett because i thought danger had only scored 119, besides all that, i'm going well

Derek · 07/05/2016 at 19:39
i didn't mention my opponent had C on Gawn (after having VC on dangerfield)

Phil · 07/05/2016 at 17:44
Yep I noticed that to in the game. But when they kick turned it over?

Holty · 07/05/2016 at 17:51
BUCKLEY.

siri · 07/05/2016 at 18:17
Its not bucks…. coach coos it big time when playersmake stupid mistakes and when they make bad decesions
Coach looks great when they click

Holty · 07/05/2016 at 18:42
they dont play for him. They keep drafting good players but every year they get worse. Their list gets stronger every year. Who else is to blame?

Phil · 07/05/2016 at 18:02
My projection is 2312 doesn't mean I'll meet it?

Dean · 07/05/2016 at 18:03
Around 2100 im guessing but its still early, get a better gauge once all Saturday games are over.

Youngy · 07/05/2016 at 21:42
2145……

MaccasMarvels · 08/05/2016 at 09:08
2200 ish I reckon. Think that'll be a little below par too.

Phil · 07/05/2016 at 18:04
Good luck mate! Happy Birthday!!!

hedski · 07/05/2016 at 19:18
Nice work Deano enjoy a coupla hard earned good luck

Southern S · 08/05/2016 at 13:57
Awesome win Dean congrats and happy birthday!

Phil · 07/05/2016 at 18:25
He will come around did last week to. He had sh*t score at HT and scored 151 and now on 66 @HT.

Average Joe · 07/05/2016 at 18:26
@3QT *

Phil · 07/05/2016 at 18:34
My bad

Youngy · 07/05/2016 at 21:41
Atleast its only 1 week, JPK gets robbed every week, so underscored

Derek · 07/05/2016 at 18:38
Yep. I went off Danger and threw the C on him

Phil · 07/05/2016 at 18:41
Sucks but eveyone I'm playing went parker to. So not so bad?

Derek · 07/05/2016 at 19:41
my opponent went C on Gawn

Steeeve · 08/05/2016 at 11:29
Yep you're toast

Derek · 07/05/2016 at 19:41
he is alright. not in my top 8 mids, but he has started the year well. won't be getting him though

uDonkey · 08/05/2016 at 08:45
Yep. That's why i haven't pick up Parker. Been keeping a close eye JPK and Martin after doing a double down this week. Welcome JPK and Martin 🙂

uDonkey · 08/05/2016 at 08:47
430K in the bank. Out Weitering and either Kerridge or Mills.

Holty · 07/05/2016 at 18:56
ignore that. just went to fanfooty

Youngy · 07/05/2016 at 21:39
Agreed

Crowmagnon · 08/05/2016 at 09:10
Was forced to play Brown, due to Laird injury. Bang 96! This game relies on luck sooo much.

CoachDamo · 08/05/2016 at 09:55
I got lucky too – had the E on Brown and left Laird on the field to take his score.

Mac · 07/05/2016 at 18:58
ok mate.

Tommy · 07/05/2016 at 20:39
Bit harsh mate, this was the first week he hasnt tonned up.

NutSack · 09/05/2016 at 02:50
pffft idiot…. his average is still top 10 mids… silly fool 🙂

Derek · 07/05/2016 at 19:56
hall ended up with over 90. how does he do it, great seagul

Derek · 07/05/2016 at 19:55
there were 101 stoppages in that game. must be the most for any game this year. Currie nearly got 100 as well

Tommy · 07/05/2016 at 20:40
I thought it stuffed me up too! Turned out good though.

Tophawk · 07/05/2016 at 19:46
I think you might have called it too early mate! Another goal to Ablett. Coming home with a wet sail.

Derek · 07/05/2016 at 19:54
Ablet did ok in the end. But how did Hall get 91?

Tophawk · 07/05/2016 at 19:57
Hall also got a lot of the pill late as well as the final goal.

Andy · 07/05/2016 at 20:21
O really Tophawk?!
Gaz 82 vs Pendles 143. Which one would you take boys and girls? Gaz is in decline. Time to face facts Gaz's time in the sun is O V E R!!!

Hoot · 07/05/2016 at 20:46
I can agree.. Wont be selling him though. No Ablett this year may just be the right move.

Phil · 07/05/2016 at 20:54
Gazza washed up he sucks d*ck

Tophawk · 07/05/2016 at 20:52
I dont have Gaz ANDY…… Because like you, I know he is in decline….. I just get annoyed when players kick Jock and Gaz in the guts. Both absolute legends in their own right.

Phil · 07/05/2016 at 21:31
Abs to Selwoood! Next week

Phil · 07/05/2016 at 21:32
Abs is washed up!

Tophawk · 07/05/2016 at 20:01
AAAAAAHHHH Gawn. He bloody good boy! He tear Suns a new ashole. Welcome!

Youngy · 07/05/2016 at 21:45
I hate Gawn with a passion

The Ranger · 07/05/2016 at 23:59
Kinda glad I put the C on him…

breakevens · 07/05/2016 at 21:02
5 clangers and 62% percent efficiency would be the reason I don't think score involvements and inside 50s earn you any points but I might be wrong

Tophawk · 07/05/2016 at 21:10
Yep. 92 SC points is spot on. D/E at 62% and 5 clangers is a drag on your score.

Youngy · 07/05/2016 at 21:44
Take away the clangers he would have scored 112ish

Phil · 07/05/2016 at 21:28
Yup he sucked more d*cks than anyone

hedski · 07/05/2016 at 21:41
Holy bald baby jeebers phil ya lovin ya ducks atm

Leeds17 · 08/05/2016 at 09:21
Yeah does look a bit low, only the one clanger, was very uncontested though.

CoachDamo · 08/05/2016 at 09:57
I was thinking the same thing. I've had my eye on him as he drops in price, but he's still yet to get over 91 so far this season.

Derek · 07/05/2016 at 21:47
Same

Youngy · 07/05/2016 at 21:53
it hurts

Derek · 07/05/2016 at 22:19
Had Mills on field and BenKen on bench as well

Tophawk · 07/05/2016 at 22:27
Ouch. Had Mc Carthy on the pine today. Not because I am smart, but because I had another strategy in play. I would have played him also. Sometimes the chips fall away or your way.
Cheers

Average Joe · 07/05/2016 at 22:02
Rumors he wouldn't play and that he was injured, he hasn't been scoring tons lately and he wasn't making much cash

Tophawk · 07/05/2016 at 22:07
Good question! Not sure what those 4000 coaches were thinking. Very happy with his output tonight.

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 19:18
DONT LISTEN TO TOPHAWK HE ID FING IDIOT EHO KNOWS NOTHING

Harry · 07/05/2016 at 22:34
Yep he's the last traded out of my team i.e. a luxury trade. Which will probably never happen. Which means he's a keeper

Neverweaken · 07/05/2016 at 23:02
Was so close to trading him out. Not a keeper but now probably last midfielder to go.

NutSack · 09/05/2016 at 02:52
well considering most teams have 7 premo mids libba is just wasting that last spot. he wont average over 105 so why wait to get rid of him?

JamiesNinjas13 · 09/05/2016 at 10:53
Most teams don't have 7 premo mids with Libba at M8 at the moment. It's good to wait because out of all the other mid pricers, he is the one that's capable of scoring tons until the end of the season. Who would you rather be on your field until near end of season: Libba or Sheridan?

Dean · 07/05/2016 at 23:03
Granted about the rumours that he was sore but big deal, there were also rumours that Kerridige was sore and wasn't going to play.
At least check if he is playing before hitting the trade button FFS.
Regarding Libba he is a M8 at worst don't understand why anyone would trade him out, He has scores of 115,118,82,89,95,70,99 in his first 7 games after having a year off and has a average of 95. Getting rid of Libba in round 7 is a massive wasted trade thats for sure and certain.

Tommy · 08/05/2016 at 08:23
I never even considered trading Libba. Much more pressing matters to be honest. And he repayed the favour!

wombatsfc · 08/05/2016 at 13:04
His ave is 15-20 a genuine below a super premo and some had him M8 so they upgraded, some are addicted to trading and some are just stupid

Billiox · 07/05/2016 at 23:51
hit any button Nicholas, i am sure u can get it reversed if not work.

Tommy · 08/05/2016 at 01:18
Suck a dick idiot

Tommo · 08/05/2016 at 08:25
That crappy ruck you speak of who is coming up against Goldy, hasn't had a ton scored against him all year.

Ben · 07/05/2016 at 22:59
same really annoyed about it

Holty · 07/05/2016 at 23:10
it was him or D Martin. I went Barlow because of his low B/E. Martin will come in this week though

Dean · 07/05/2016 at 23:17
Players to play are: Goldy (C), Wells, Wines, DBJ & Rich

hedski · 07/05/2016 at 23:43
As above Dean. Gawn was captain.

Billiox · 07/05/2016 at 23:56
Gawn C great pick,18/1871 no maxy C .my bad

Shake n bake · 08/05/2016 at 13:10
So frustrated still tophawk! Was at the pies blues game phone had no reception! Couldn't get dangers score l would av kept his score. 120pts is pass mark for me. And didn't know Brown scored 96 had Laird on pine ready for loophole would av swapped him with Adams!! Really hope we meet in finals good luck for the remainder of the year.

Cameron · 07/05/2016 at 23:50
Probably just above average for this round

CoachDamo · 08/05/2016 at 10:00
Above average – I'm 100 points behind you with 4 players left and I'm winning my league matches so I'd say you're well above average!

Liam · 08/05/2016 at 07:34
I'm at 2007 with goldmember, DBJ and Wells yet to play. Pendles captain. I suspect a few people will struggle to break 2200 with a number of popular defenders going down in recent weeks(laird, weitering, suckling, johannisien et al.) and poor captains performances (im looking at you, Parker and Gaz).

CoachDamo · 08/05/2016 at 09:59
Sounds like you're going pretty well. I'll be lucky to get 2100. You should get 2250+

Liam · 08/05/2016 at 11:44
Not bad all things considered.. if mills and gaz had scored properly though.. ;). With some good performances you should push 2200 which is above par this week imo. Martin in particular should clean up today.

Cliffy · 08/05/2016 at 15:50
Yeah Mills and Gaz disappointing this week haha… Gawn has really saved my score, as well as the rest of the on-field rookies I've fielded this week (Adams, Tippa, BenKen, Kerridge).
On-field rookies has never been my real strength my last few seasons ever since I first started playing SC in 2009 lol.

Jess_coach · 08/05/2016 at 01:09
This annoyed me too. Guess it was his efficiency, but very dam mad with that score. And having parker captain.. still hoping for 2200 or so

Dan · 08/05/2016 at 08:29
Yep. Only 56% effective disposals, plus 6 clangers… So 21 of his disposals hit the target, at a guess a dozen of those would've been handballs.

Leeds17 · 08/05/2016 at 09:16
Uncontested too, he's looking a horrible pick to replace Rockliff a month ago.

Hoot · 08/05/2016 at 09:41
In the same boat. What to do? …
Gotta hold and decide at the bye rounds.

JamiesNinjas13 · 09/05/2016 at 10:30
I'm furious too Dan, after all the research I did on Boyd and PIttard then had Boyd in my side all week, I panicked traded in Houli last minute only to cop a 50 while Boyd went on to get 125 and Pittard 100+. Maybe the long term Houli will be better then both but short term, I am hurting

hedski · 08/05/2016 at 09:19
I'm guessing @250k.
Thinking same thing.

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 10:26
Very very solid mate. I will hopefully hit 2200 this week. Currently on 2016 with DBJ and Wells to play.
With a bit of luck you will touch 2300 which is way above par IMO. Par will be around 2150 I think.
Cheers

AverageAdsy · 08/05/2016 at 10:31
Thanks for the feedback mate, i was hoping it was pretty solid! I just hope zorko can keep the points flowing with beams back into the team!

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 10:37
Zorko should be fine. I don't expect Beams to be at his best. Probably will be somewhat rusty today. In any case, Zorko the magnificient if anything will thrive with Beams back. He might even hit the scoreboard more with a few extra goals.

Derek · 08/05/2016 at 11:39
2100 will be ok this week
Looking at scores in my leagues they will be pretty bunched. The Gawn owners are looking good especially the ones who put the C on him

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 10:23
I reckon par will be around 2150 this week. Many coaches scores have been dragged down by Parker (C), Mc Carthy breaking down, Callum Mills' epic spud, and the poor efforts by both bubble boys Cox and J Smith.
Cheers

Dan · 08/05/2016 at 10:12
*cringe* hope he goes well Greg, I've got him too, but last three scores of 81, 69 & 63 not inspiring confidence..

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 10:33
Well they are playing the ruckless Port Adelaide today. (Well they have Jackson Trengove……………..).
If Stefan Martin is going to break out of his form rut, today will have to be the day! Good luck mate

Keenbutclueless · 08/05/2016 at 14:43
Was tempted myself. Last year against Port was Stef's lowest score for the year 74. And Brisbane won the game easy. So will take Goldy, even though no one has scored more than 100 against Hickey. Now wishing I had taken Sidebottoms 116.

Ben · 08/05/2016 at 10:53
I have him aswell.
not quite sure what to do

Matt · 08/05/2016 at 13:01
im holding him, got bigger problems at the moment. although he could go, he could potentially make a half decent d7 come back end of the year, which is what I'm hoping happens. losing too much cash on him to trade, plus theres no one really sticking their hands up as a 100+ averaging defender (apart from Shaw/Laird)

Crowmagnon · 08/05/2016 at 14:02
Chances are if you trade him, he will find form and the player you get will lose it.
Rule of thumb: always keep all premiums (using the term loosely, I know) until full premium, then kill at will.
I have him, and I am holding.

Kev · 08/05/2016 at 11:22
Interesting trend. Good pickup, Ben.
Danger and Smitch tagged by Coniglio in those games.

JamiesNinjas13 · 09/05/2016 at 10:32
Agree Kev, Coniglio is a great run-with player and he gets he's own pill also. He is the #2 draft pick and the best midfielder in his draft for a reason!

Jimmy · 08/05/2016 at 11:51
I have noticed it Ben especially when they're at home. They suffocate the oppositions mids.

Baggy Pants · 08/05/2016 at 12:09
Where did you hear that from?
, he seemed to finish the game ok.

Northernsoul74 · 08/05/2016 at 12:17
Just reported on a couple of doggies forums this morning. Likely to miss a couple.

Derek · 08/05/2016 at 13:30
I was probably going to get rid of him this week anyway. Might make it easier to chop him now

Nicholas · 08/05/2016 at 14:04
Same here Mills and Adams to Martin and Petracca leaves be with 18 trades but brings me closer to full premo and Martin is as cheap I will get him

Kev · 08/05/2016 at 13:09
Just to make you nervous, James. Goldy has tonned up in his past 6 games against the Saints. Averaging 127. Scored 122 against Hickey in round 20 last year, and his shite game last year when he scored 44, he backed it up the next week with a 134.

Benjamima Puddleduck · 08/05/2016 at 13:46
Id be nervous. Though Hickey does look a better player this year.
Hope for low stoppages, and Goldy is not 100%, and St kilda win and Goldy only plays 50% game time.

Derek · 08/05/2016 at 13:28
There was some talk that Goldy might be rested. Is that still being rumoured?

Southern S · 08/05/2016 at 14:24
With zieball's current form I reckon it's possible good luck James!

wombatsfc · 08/05/2016 at 12:58
cant be done.

Derek · 08/05/2016 at 13:27
I wish

Neverweaken · 08/05/2016 at 13:34
Depends how your emergencies are set up. And who is left to play. Let's say you had AMT on the bench as an emergency. And suckling on the bench. Amt scores well. Put suckling on and take somebody off who you think will do worse than amt. I did that yesterday after essendon game but before doggies started. Can get complicated and very easy to stuff up. I left it too late to do the swap I wanted. So could only swap Adams with Suckling. Luckily AMT scored more than Adams. But was left with Hartley on the field so got his crap score.
And made suckling captain so I could get dangers VC couldn't risk another Goldie 49
So no doubt Goldie will score 200 today.

Snoorer · 08/05/2016 at 14:54
Thank you so much for going to the trouble of explaining it to me. I will be very careful because I can see how one could stuff up. A couple of the replies didn't get what I was on about probably because I didn't explain myself properly.

Neverweaken · 09/05/2016 at 06:41
Ok here is how I am doing it this week. I have Ruggles and Suckling on the bench in defence. Suckling is injured and Ruggles plays Friday night. Ruggles is emergency.
If Ruggles scores 80 + I will put suckling on the field and take off Hartley. That way I get a Ruggles good defender score.
If Ruggles scores crap. Don't change and hopefully take Harteys better score.
And as an added bonus either Danger or Selwood as Vc. So can put Suckiling on the field or swap to forward and put on the field tand make captain to get VC

james · 08/05/2016 at 13:34
would love to get him but already have ward and shiel

Southern S · 08/05/2016 at 13:41
Like that trade a lot thinking of getting him in this week myself.

Benjamima Puddleduck · 08/05/2016 at 13:43
Then Shiel steps up to be the man man the next half dozen games.
Bang Bang.

Southern S · 08/05/2016 at 14:21
Lol yeah could happen. Troubles me that he tags but still racks them up. Not sure if it will continue all year might just go the seemingly safer options with two of Pendle, dusty or McVeigh

Benjamima Puddleduck · 08/05/2016 at 13:42
2100 with that garbage is pretty good.
Just think a good percentage will have that same garbage.

tuxCS · 08/05/2016 at 13:49
I've been saved by the likes of Gawn and pendelbury

Derek · 08/05/2016 at 13:49
I'll take 2100 with my garbage

I N Pieman · 08/05/2016 at 13:57
Think you'll find everyone has been hit with some spuds. Over 2100 will be a competitive score. Over 2200 a good score

Mac · 08/05/2016 at 13:45
Lions midfield will be aided with the return of Beams to go along with Rockliff, Zorko, Hanley, Rich, Christensen, Robinson. Port are missing Gray so the job will be left to Wines, Boak, Ebert to do the bulk of the work.

Southern S · 08/05/2016 at 14:10
Take it for sure. Anything could happen.

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 14:13
I would take Crippsy's 127 and run. That is a solid score mate.

Keenbutclueless · 08/05/2016 at 14:45
Last year against Port, he got his lowest score for the year. And they won the game!

Derek · 08/05/2016 at 13:47
Wait for both to fully fatten. IE their BE is higher than there average is the usual answer.
I was thinking similar to upgrade Adams to McVeigh this week to complete my defence. Will depend on McVeighs price and BE as well

Average Joe · 08/05/2016 at 13:59
He isn't scoring that bad really, averaging 101 is pretty much what he was scoring last year. Tell you what though, if he could deal with the tag better then he would be a hell of a player

Big G · 08/05/2016 at 14:35
I am annoyed he seems to get the short end of the stick when it comes to scoring – perhaps because he is in a team with a lot of good players. Champion Data seems to love Callan Ward though…

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 14:09
I m hearing ya alright. These two SPUDS will be phased out of my side also in coming weeks.

I N Pieman · 08/05/2016 at 14:52
I'd go sooner rather than later as their price is going to go backwards. L Mac is a must go

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 15:06
Mc Carthy is going this week. Mills will survive the chop for now. If Keays plays well today he could replace him and then its one of the fattened back line cows (Tippa or Adams) for Mc Veigh. I would then have Shaw, Simpson, Laird, and Mc Veigh as premos back there. I want my back line settled ASAP as it has been the most challenging line this year. Maybe look at Rance and perhaps someone like Gibson to finalise my defense later on.
I can then start to focus on bye planning without too many dramas at the back.

Derek · 08/05/2016 at 14:55
I think out: Mills & McCarthy, in: Petracca and McVeigh.
I hope they don't drop to much in value so I can afford the trade

tuxCS · 08/05/2016 at 16:31
Is McVeigh ready Derek?

I N Pieman · 08/05/2016 at 14:53
Throughout the week everyone was going to be a late out

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 16:43
Hoping Goldy spuds again. I dont have him and could be the difference of 10 wind and 8 wins. Hope he doesn't score over 138! He drops in price as well!

tuxCS · 08/05/2016 at 16:33
By rumors I'm assuming you're talking about Goldstein being a possible late out. This was straight from SEN, so a relatively credible source.

Boltons blues · 08/05/2016 at 17:48
Good players/teams, play shit against shit teams
Hold him

johnno2908 · 08/05/2016 at 15:40
Yeah it updated and due to restrictions they are not allowed to have live supercoach scores. Terrible news. I use fanfooty now but from the short experience I have had with it, not quite as accurate. Definitely not as quick.

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 15:52
Fox footy give you live score just click on the player and it tells you their score

Dee · 08/05/2016 at 15:56
I tried this Phil, didn't work…. what's Goldstein on anyone?

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 16:08
28 right now. Not sure why you cant? I can.

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 15:57
Friggin annoying. It only gives you supercoach scores after the final siren has gone. Cant get scores now during matches.

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 16:09
Not on Fox footy. It does on the HS though

Benjamima Puddleduck · 08/05/2016 at 19:28
SC figured out how dodgy there scoring was and didnt want people viewing there shiftiness

Dee · 08/05/2016 at 16:06
thanks mate…

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 16:07
Goldy is on 28 now

Dee · 08/05/2016 at 16:25
Goldy only on 39 @ HT?

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 16:09
Back on the field. Praying he is OK.

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 16:14
Sure he is, betting more than half the comp has him so if he goes out everyone will get the same score. Not that I want him to go out!

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 16:10
Now on 32

Shake n bake · 08/05/2016 at 16:38
Thanks hedski.

Holty · 08/05/2016 at 17:15
listening to the game on the radio and sounds like Goldy is dominating. Bit shocked to see he is only on 43. Especially when i need him to score 111 to win my league

hedski · 08/05/2016 at 17:20
Wells 50 odd. Hopefully comes on in last qtr.

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 17:23
Cheers Hedski. Got DBJ onfield so that is a great start.

Holty · 08/05/2016 at 17:32
ouch. i almost went Stef as captain but went with Goldy. Need 111 from Goldy.

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 17:35
Everyone has djb tophawk you dbag not like up 1 upping the comp

hedski · 08/05/2016 at 17:37
Coupla my matchups have him not selected.

Nicholas · 08/05/2016 at 17:38
I loopholed him with brown and took browns score so i dont get dbjs score

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 17:45
Zorko sh*t

breakevens · 08/05/2016 at 17:57
Disposal efficiency

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 19:28
ha ha not that decent from a #1 ruck HA HA

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 17:47
I dont just shows how stupid they were he was a bad egg from the beginning! Serves them right! LOL

Steeeve · 08/05/2016 at 17:51
Yeah was really stupid to select someone capable of throwing up 150s week after week for a serious discount, then holding him through one short term injury.

Nicholas · 08/05/2016 at 17:55
Last year and this year should now be enough to not risk picking him again

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 18:01
Rocky a bum anyone who thought it was picking him is retarded he's been injured from day 1…..serves you right HA HA

Starky · 08/05/2016 at 18:11
Poor club management. How many times are they going to rush him back before they learn

Holty · 08/05/2016 at 18:23
True. I think the community had this discussion a month ago and was said they always bring him back early. Rocky maybe tough but he is also selfish wanting to come back before he is 100%. They need to give him 6 weeks off and make sure he is right. Same as what Richmond do with Deledio. imo.

CoachDamo · 08/05/2016 at 19:15
Not sure why you waste your time posting Phil. So positive.

HOLLA · 08/05/2016 at 21:26
Did you have to say retarded? Cmon mayyyn!!

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 18:06
Its kind of a repeat of last year. Injured-returns- gets injured again……Those coaches that traded him out, and then brought him back in last week would be ready to top themselves. I got rid of him after his first breakdown. He aint coming back in my side in 2016.

Nicholas · 08/05/2016 at 18:27
Agreed

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 18:37
Thats why ur in last tophawk…ur a bum and no noy=thg about SC

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 18:42
Good onya phil!! I like your style. hehehehe

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 19:14
which you have nothing of! lol

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 19:30
;-0
Not the sharpest tool in the shed are ya…..Gee wizzzzz

[email protected] · 08/05/2016 at 19:51
can't help bad luck. This is why I make sure I have plenty of trades.

Derek · 08/05/2016 at 19:53
Anyone know how long he will be out for

Redgumwon · 08/05/2016 at 21:26
There say only 1 to 2 weeks again. It's just come up at the AFL site

Southern S · 09/05/2016 at 00:48
Gotta weigh up the pros and cons of someone like Rocky when he gets injured, glad I decided to trade him out swiftly and avoided having him sitting on my bench a waste of space and money.

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 18:08
At least Wellsy salvaged something.. Maybe eek out a 70 for us after scaling?

Iamme · 08/05/2016 at 18:07
Yeah that's brutal! I should of traded him when he got injured the first time….Now that messes up my plans for next week….curse u Supercoach Gods!!!

Wayno76 · 08/05/2016 at 20:27
I dodged a bullet there I was going to trade him in this week …. phewww

Jess_coach · 08/05/2016 at 21:23
Dam right! Lol

Southern S · 09/05/2016 at 00:38
Maybe they quit supercoach? One can only hope!

Phil · 08/05/2016 at 18:32
Im over 2100

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 18:54
Are ya? Good onya! I m over 2150! And I know nothing about Supercoach. 😉

Liam · 08/05/2016 at 18:48
I'm on 2123 with DBJ left.

Harley · 08/05/2016 at 19:01
Only if they kick it to themselves first

Tommo · 08/05/2016 at 19:26
Only if they play on

Vinny · 08/05/2016 at 19:33
But does kicking out (not playing on)and a result in a turnover, count as a Clanger/turnover?

hedski · 08/05/2016 at 19:39
Good question vinny dunno…

Matt · 08/05/2016 at 20:13
Apparently I read this week an effective kick out is worth 1 point so not that big of a deal. Ineffective is 0. Clanger still -4 though

tuxCS · 08/05/2016 at 18:38
Not really a horrible trade, Liberatore doesnt really need to go though, but rockliff is capable of throwing up 140+ on a weekly basis. As starky said in an above comment, it's just poor club management from the Lions.

Harley · 08/05/2016 at 18:51
Yeah I thought it was just a good time to jump on rocky at that price. Plus I had exactly the right money to make it happen so I kind of took that as a sign it was meant to be. Lol

Southern S · 09/05/2016 at 00:15
Don't worry we've all been burnt by injury prone guys before, but yes you were a little hasty in bringing him in last week.

poloko48 · 08/05/2016 at 18:58
I know, really frustrating, currently at 50%, only ahead of two other Port players.

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 19:01
That is not too bad Vinny. You will probably end up with 2150-2175. That is a solid score. You may well find that you will not slip too far down the rankings with that. I reckon your ranking, despite dipping slightly, will stay in 3 digits. Cheers

Vinny · 08/05/2016 at 22:16
yes, only drop 31 in rankings

Matt · 08/05/2016 at 20:16
Yep, seemingly everyone I played… :/

Harry · 08/05/2016 at 20:17
2 weeks ago I told myself I will not continue to ignore Gawn's scores. So what did I do this week? Ignored him as a C option. Will have to rectify that mistake in future weeks.
Having said that I had a very good week considering I have Gray and Laird injured getting over 2200 with Danger a solid C choice

hedski · 08/05/2016 at 20:21
Yep. Vc'd danger and had the c on parker but last minute gut feel went big maxy.

The Ranger · 08/05/2016 at 22:44
I had Gawn. Needed it too. Only managed 2135 even with his big score.

Roger · 08/05/2016 at 23:00
Had the vc on danger, saw he was just unde 100 at 3qtr time, thought I'd take a risk with Parker, didn't work. Still scored 2277, but would've been better if I took dangers or went Gawn but still a good score, put petracca on the ground instead of smith so that was good.

Vinny · 08/05/2016 at 19:38
Option 4 for me.

Neverweaken · 08/05/2016 at 21:14
I have Docherty. I like him. Start with him every year. Happy with him but not someone I would upgrade to. Simpson would be my choice

breakevens · 09/05/2016 at 10:28
Already have Simpson

Derek · 08/05/2016 at 19:58
Good score

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 20:04
You will move up the ranks mate. Dont worry about that. Very close to, if not in the top 1000 after this round.
Cheers

AverageAdsy · 08/05/2016 at 20:14
Thanks guys!
The stress during the week gets worse and worse as i climb higher though! Haha

AverageAdsy · 08/05/2016 at 20:37
Score has been upscaled to 2264, cant complain about that.

Shake n bake · 08/05/2016 at 20:49
Same as me got 2220 and I'm ranked 1700 had Parker as capt had McCarthy & Mills on field.

AverageAdsy · 08/05/2016 at 20:51
I think we should both rise abit this week mate, i had danger as captain.
Mills, kk, houli my biggest let downs.
Traded mccarthy last week so dodged a bullet there
I think its time for mills to go this week, I'll have to see his b/e but will probably be fairly high.

Shake n bake · 08/05/2016 at 21:05
I would have loved to have kept dangers score but I was at pies blues game & couldnt get scores so just bit the bullet and kept Parker as capt. Good luck goin fwd AverageAdsy.

AverageAdsy · 08/05/2016 at 21:09
I was very tempted to go with parker, but my rule for this year is to put the captain on danger whenever he plays at geelong, its seemed to work so far!
Cheers mate, you too!

HOLLA · 08/05/2016 at 21:30
Well done

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 20:10
Solid. I reckon you will slip in the rankings, but nothing to lose sleep over. You might drop 50 to 100 places with that score.
I am envious. I am still not top 1000 mate but getting closer!
Cheers

Cameron · 08/05/2016 at 22:31
Only dropped 9 spots very relieved

Southern S · 09/05/2016 at 00:00
Think it was just a low scoring round, I won 5 out of 9 matches, and tied one. That was with a 2105.

Wayno76 · 08/05/2016 at 20:30
Dahl has been more consistent but if Dusty and his team find some form there could be some big scores coming, tough choice but i think we all need dusty by the end of the year and he is only going up in price from here

Dasha · 08/05/2016 at 20:48
in a few weeks would deledio be a better option?

Wayno76 · 08/05/2016 at 21:03
I think you will have to watch Deledio for a few weeks im always cautious of returning players

Dean · 08/05/2016 at 20:02
not great but not shocking either, im the same I scored 2118 mate. Goldy as C hurt.

Southern S · 08/05/2016 at 23:22
Well I had danger captain so my score was pretty average, only had 9 players who went 95+.

Cliffy · 08/05/2016 at 20:53
Well done mate! 🙂

Harry · 08/05/2016 at 20:26
Yeah I saw that too. Yep would take some gonads to pick him but it's interesting. Next 6 they've got Carlton, Eagles, Dees, Pies, Dogs, Freo. He'll get slaughtered by Nic Nat and Gawn but the others he should be more than competitive. I think the biggest question is will he play permanent first ruck now? If so, he's bound to skyrocket in price. But I don't know the answer to that. Maybe some Port fans can give some insight as he's never been SC relevant. But he is 25 which seems to be about the magic age big players flourish?!

Leeds17 · 08/05/2016 at 23:19
Actually got smashed today really but won the ball
on the deck, was it 13 clearances?

Hazey · 08/05/2016 at 21:14
Big ball in pants move this one!

Josh · 08/05/2016 at 21:40
they don't have any other options really so he is a very good chance to stay there

AverageAdsy · 08/05/2016 at 21:43
Surely he wont average those sorts of numbers every week, and to get those numbers and only score 116 shows he doesnt have a huge ceiling and could potentially have a few below average scores.
Thats just my opinion though 🙂

JamiesNinjas13 · 09/05/2016 at 11:49
A mirage and flavour of the week just like Hickey in R1

Harley · 08/05/2016 at 20:20
I'm sure you will mate! Good score

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 20:24
Bloody hit score! I think you are a good chance to move a few notches on Supercoach take 40 Australia!

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 20:28
I bet that coach had Gawn as captain. With 2370 this round you gotta be in the running for the weekly prize. That is seriously good.

Wayno76 · 08/05/2016 at 20:36
My score of 2134 was the highest in three of my leagues and the highest Ive seen in my leagues is 2318 must be a low scoring round , I'm just spewin i didn't pick danger as Capt. i went Parker thinking he would go good against the bombers…. Its been a hard year for Captain choices, gone are the days we used to lock in Fyfe or Ablett

Shake n bake · 08/05/2016 at 20:56
They did have Gawn as capt and played me!! Only lose in my leagues. Wish I had him as capt!! I had Parker & got 2220.

hedski · 08/05/2016 at 21:24
Ha ha. Hypochondria league?
I had gawn cap but had tippa brown benken on bench Mccarthy mills blah blah on ground

MaccasMarvels · 08/05/2016 at 22:14
I saw a score in one of my leagues that was high 2300's. Gawn likely C there. Well played!!
Pearson League no. 2 – 18th ranked league. Awesome guys.

AverageAdsy · 08/05/2016 at 20:49
Its usually sometime between now and 9.30 i find most weeks, sometimes can be a little bit later mate

Wayno76 · 08/05/2016 at 21:01
thanks

Tommo · 08/05/2016 at 20:52
yeah im keen for it to finish too, hopefully, it reopens at 9

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 21:08
Probably around 10 pm tonight because of the Adelaide fixture.

tuxCS · 08/05/2016 at 21:15
His pretty cheap right now, and if you get deledio in after the byes then you'll be fine.

Oscar · 08/05/2016 at 21:13
cheer up prysey

Tommo · 08/05/2016 at 21:19
That is around par, maybe just under. its a pretty good score

Derek · 08/05/2016 at 22:05
that score is ok.
I had an aweful weekend. Very frustrating because my team looks pretty good on paper but just scoring terrible.
Only shining light was JPK had a good game and outscored Parker easily.
If Rocky only out for 2 weeks should hold him

Billiox · 09/05/2016 at 00:03
call Hq u get it fixed

Jason · 09/05/2016 at 01:06
You are an idiot the joke is old

Billiox · 09/05/2016 at 02:01
where u ranked Jas? Never ever call me that again, Ever

Jason · 09/05/2016 at 09:36
Ranked top 1000

Tophawk · 08/05/2016 at 22:53
Chill time mate. Rocky is your number one trade out priority. He is SC gone for 2016.
Rebuild from there.
I hated Matty Dea last week after his 39. He comes back this week with a tonne. Very happy.
I knew the guy could play. Great cash appreciation also.
Single round short focus strategy(s) kills coaches.
Cheers mate

Steeeve · 09/05/2016 at 09:12
Great advice bud. I've been happy to sit on rookies through a bad game or two so far (except dropping Papley, but very happy to have gotten Byrne-Jones in for him). Just thinking as they all start to fatten around the same time a couple will be ripe for culling. If not Mills maybe McCarthy.

Southern S · 08/05/2016 at 23:25
That's not too bad considering the benched players and captain score.

HOLLA · 08/05/2016 at 23:35
Southern as score for the week is a score for the week. Could gave been a good score but wasn't. I understand why im shit but refuse to except it.

Southern S · 09/05/2016 at 00:03
What percentage was that round score of 2191 in?

HOLLA · 09/05/2016 at 07:56
Accept*
Top 5%

Kev · 09/05/2016 at 08:16
Too 5! Tough week…

Leeds17 · 08/05/2016 at 23:17
Menadue's a slow burn but not sure he deserves the crap he's coping, least hits his BE each week.

Boltons Blues · 08/05/2016 at 22:36
all 3 of them arent exactly PODs (or atleast by seasons end they shouldnt be)
all 3 will be top 10 defenders
Boyd – bigger points, for the next couple weeks, will drop off when suckling and JJ return
Doc/Simpson, consistant points for the rest of the year

Dee · 08/05/2016 at 22:49
I didn't say they were POD's…. I said if anyone could maybe give me a POD cause I was thinking along the lines of those three premiums, anyways thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Dee · 08/05/2016 at 22:50
Selwood is back to his best at the moment….

Southern S · 08/05/2016 at 23:45
Pendlebury, Selwood, JPK.

Dee · 08/05/2016 at 22:51
WOW….. great stuff mate, keep it up! How many trades left?

Maxweas · 08/05/2016 at 22:57
Thanks. 23 with 6 upgrades left. Pushing the upgrades hard now.

Dee · 08/05/2016 at 22:58
not including Wells?

The Ranger · 08/05/2016 at 22:53
Nice one mate! Keep it up.

Billiox · 09/05/2016 at 00:08
nice work, well done

Southern S · 09/05/2016 at 00:18
Congratulations, Exciting times for you at the moment!

Juzzy · 08/05/2016 at 23:27
I reckon they are.
Bartel may be rested later in the season but there aren't many defenders who have license to run through the midfield, push forward and snag a few goals.
JPK could be run over by the team bus on the way to the game and will still score 80.

Southern S · 08/05/2016 at 23:50
Yep they are both keepers if fit.
Bartel started slow but fairly impressed with his scoring the last couple of rounds, he could be getting some continuity of form you'd hope.
Has a low 45 BE, could be time to lock him in, still one of the best football minds (and skills) out there and very supercoach friendly when playing well.
JPK is JPK he's a proven scorer and like bartel maybe just took a little longer to get going?

Chill · 09/05/2016 at 09:29
None. they all have capacity to reach their B/Es.

Tommo · 09/05/2016 at 10:34
Parish, due to High BE. While De Goey also has a pretty high BE, he is a lock in the Pies team and it is also Parish's first season, expect a drop off from him.

Dean · 08/05/2016 at 23:41
I brought him in last week. However Selwood is looking good

Cameron · 08/05/2016 at 23:50
Agree but thankfully I already have selwood

Southern S · 08/05/2016 at 23:50
Don't know tough call go with your gut.

tuxCS · 09/05/2016 at 00:29
Selwood or Hanners for me, I feel that Parker will die down soon, and whilst Ward is a great option, i just feel like the other two have higher scoring potential.

Southern S · 09/05/2016 at 00:40
Yep wise choices.

Cameron · 08/05/2016 at 23:11
90

Dee · 08/05/2016 at 23:35
upgrade Rockliff to Selwood….

Southern S · 08/05/2016 at 23:54
Rockliff to Selwood, JPK or Pendlebury. Rocky's not reliable sadly. Hold Gray.
Hold laird, and if you have faith in Bartel's fitness I'd probably lock him int he back line for weitering.
If you don't trust him to be fit all year or get rested then go for someone like Docherty, Gibson, Simpson etc.
Mcveigh maybe next week or week after if you want him, or just grab him now with a 114 BE.

Southern S · 08/05/2016 at 23:54
Also consider the GWS mids.

tuxCS · 09/05/2016 at 00:28
Hold Gray, word from Ken Hinkley is that he might be starting next week (fingers crossed), weitering has to go obviously, look at Docherty, Simpson or Rance. Rockliff is not worth holding, maybe think about trading him up to Priddis, Coniglio, Scully, Viney or as a pretty big POD, Lachie Neale, he's only in 2% of teams, and if he can focus on using the ball well he'll go absolutely off this season. If you want to skimp a bit on the Weitering upgrade however, look for an upgrade to Pendelbury or Selwood.

Southern S · 09/05/2016 at 00:37
Like the Viney and Lachie Neale suggestions, both ball magnets.
I'll have to disagree with you on one player here, Priddis, been saying it for a while now not convinced by him, and he's performed average again this week.
Only has one great score vs Brisbane in round one, and has missed a game, I'm suspect on his fitness at the moment maybe carrying a niggling injury. With a 152 BE and coming off 3 scores between 75-87 points I'd avoid until he can prove himself, and when his price plummets further.

tuxCS · 09/05/2016 at 00:47
I wont be trading him in for a while, but players don't just lose skill Southern. He was priced at 611k for a reason. I'm also unsure about his fitness but if he can work that out then he will be the bargain of the century.

Southern S · 09/05/2016 at 00:52
Yep I've got my eye on him 🙂
Priddis for under 500k would be a steal! But not trading him in yet that is certain.

Southern S · 09/05/2016 at 00:07
You may have to get Petracca in Dean, he seems to be scoring well and should hold his spot.
keays is also another option for a double downgrade, but you probably want to get another gun on the field.
Like Pendles and Martin for guns.

tuxCS · 09/05/2016 at 00:23
I'd personally do those trades you were considering, because after all, it is the goal to get full premium as soon as possible. Up to you though of course, thats just my advice. 🙂

Rooster · 09/05/2016 at 01:56
And didn't some statistical expert write that because of less rotations and stoppages, ruck points were on the wane?

Derek · 09/05/2016 at 08:55
imagine how many points he would score if the deliberate out of bounds wasn't being enforced.

stavros · 09/05/2016 at 08:36
probably be the first to 200.. What an incredible ruckman In the bulldogs give them the cup..

Rattlesnake · 09/05/2016 at 01:51
Yes please and I have an upfront question tux. What is going on with my man Priddas? He started off with a 159 pointer, played a couple of ordinary games, missed a game with a supposed groin strain and has since delivered two more ordinary games and has lost $100K to date. Last year he started his magnificent year off in a similar fashion but now perhaps his body is on the wane? He also has a great ruckman in NitNat ramming it down his throat so what's going on?

tuxCS · 09/05/2016 at 02:03
Thanks for the question RattleSnake, I'll probably go in depth into the issue in next weeks video. I'm personally a huge fan of Priddis and I (much like everybody else) know that he's capable of much better performances. From what i've seen he's been playing the same contested ball winning role that he always does, and it's not like west coast have a "star studded" midfield, so he doesn't have to share the points around a lot. Now this is just speculation but he HAS to be carrying a niggling injury, players of his calibre dont just lose skill. I'll try and watch the West Coast vs St Kilda game next week very closely and give you a bit of a better report in the next video 🙂

Rattlesnake · 09/05/2016 at 08:04
Thanks tuxCS

Tommo · 09/05/2016 at 10:37
Love it!

stavros · 09/05/2016 at 08:33
great exactly what we need I too have a question if u were top 100 would u cull ablett to win and Is there a Harvey type pod better than him keep it up

tuxCS · 09/05/2016 at 11:14
Thanks for that Stavros, I'll answer that in next weeks Weekly Wrap-Up, but in short, I would do it. A lot of people have him in there sides, and i dont think anyone will trade him out, but if you can turn him into a a POD of some sort, I think that will help you shoot up the ranks immensely. Take a look at Lachie Neale. Mundy is playing of the half back flank now in a sort of sweeping role, (last time i checked) and with fyfe gone for the rest of the season, the only other "good" midfielder he has to share the points with is Barlow. But he might even be given a more forward role until Bennell gets back. It's up to you but that's my POD pick. (In 2% of teams btw)

tuxCS · 09/05/2016 at 11:20
And also could you elaborate on what you mean by a "Harvey type POD"? If I've understood you correctly, I'd probably say Nick Reiwoldt. He's being powerful in marking contests and kicking goals like he always does, but apparently he's playing a new role on the wing and he loves it. The new role basically means that he racks up a decent amount of disposals from running through the midfield, but he also gets forward whenever his team is on a fast break, so he can still take those contested grabs we love him for. Only worry is that he's priced quite high at 562k, but his body seems good this year, and he's in stellar form, so if you want a POD in the forward line, I'd say he's your man. (Currently selected in 2.1% of teams).

stavros · 09/05/2016 at 12:59
exactly what I mean well done son this is good know anything about harmes keep it up

Derek · 09/05/2016 at 08:56
very cool idea

tuxCS · 09/05/2016 at 11:10
Thanks Derek.

stavros · 09/05/2016 at 13:09
derek when port plays hawks do you find yourself cheering lobbe and wingard and hoping Cyril has a poor game.. I find sc is turning me against my team .I can no longer go or listen to them for fear my sc team is affected. Either way I win or do I lose am mighty confused..Ihave a lot of doggies and next week need them to do well but hang on they play the Dees.. That's why I like Tucs idea next year I can follow his team and the Dees Probably makes no sense its either follow Tucs or the bundeenaboys any contest Derek

Southern S · 09/05/2016 at 00:40
Pendlebury, Selwood then Ward. Although if needing a POD then Ward is your man.

Chill · 09/05/2016 at 09:28
Judd.. Pendles is the most proven BUT look at how players holding injuries are going this year.
My preference would be Ward, Selwood, Pendles.
Ablett, Fyfe, Rocky, Priddis have all battled with their injuries… look how that's going for them…

Noigerbour · 09/05/2016 at 06:55
Earth man earth man

Dean · 09/05/2016 at 17:33
Agree with Thomas Davis a no brainer

Kev · 09/05/2016 at 08:11
Hold if you can't get who you want. Kerridge is fine this week

Thomas · 09/05/2016 at 08:14
Can he get Keays as a downgrade??

Derek · 09/05/2016 at 08:58
i have been surprised by how well DBJ has gone. i didn't get him, but anyone who did will be smiling.
he spent time in the guts on the weekend, no Gray

Chill · 09/05/2016 at 09:26
I agree Mill. I turfed Paps for DBJ so not complaining BUT I think being patient has been much more rewarding this year than pulling the trigger. It's a marathon not a sprint.

JamiesNinjas13 · 09/05/2016 at 10:42
He has already got a Rising Star Nomination mate. I stuck with him while everyone traded him out and loving life now. The rule when culling a rookie is to trade them out the week after they have gone down in price (have not met their BE) unless you have pressing concerns.

Chill · 09/05/2016 at 09:40
Who were your players Ross?

Moonshine · 09/05/2016 at 09:56
I am a former fitness advisor at 4 AFL clubs over a twenty year span so I have some idea regarding your concern.
The players are getting stronger and faster and enter the fray where angels fear to tread = more injuries.
My two bob's worth Ross, firstly from a game perspective.
Shorten the time of each quarter.
Increase the rotations.
Have six on the bench
Protect players more – the Cunningham/Ablett incident.
Regarding SuperCoach.
Increase the number of SC players from 30 to 34 with the bench increasing to defence 3, mid 4 ruck 2 and fwd 3, thus increasing the number of trades overall (Again)
And finally, use your trades with respect. My opponent traded out Sam Mitchell this week and he will probably miss only one week.. There are many trigger fingered SCers out there.
Good luck Ross but unfortunately injuries are part of the game despite the AFL's attempt to clean it up to those thuggish times of yesteryear.

fev · 09/05/2016 at 10:11
its part of the game don't be a sook

YellowNBlack · 09/05/2016 at 10:43
i think so too!
it would be an easy fix just have the same rule as if a player is out but you have an emergency. if a player gets injured you get the emergencies score, surely wouldn't be that hard to implement!

Chill · 09/05/2016 at 09:40
Mills to Dusty for me too Heds. I have had Keays from the start and pretty happy with him. Was tearing up the 2s and from what I have seen on the big stage he looks good, i have been watching him closely. Should hold his spot as well.

hedski · 09/05/2016 at 10:11
Cheers chill seen a bit of the game and he looked ok. Rocky out now might help.

Boltons Blues · 09/05/2016 at 10:14
Both are good options, Keayes is struggling (when i say struggling, i mean finding not as easy as the 2s) the kid is a gun and i think brisbane will wanna put some AFL exp into him, so he should hold his spot
MacPherson was in my team prior to R1 but got rid of him cause he didnt get selected, tackling machine

Phil · 09/05/2016 at 10:02
Just make sure you can field 18 players

Tommo · 09/05/2016 at 10:56
You get the top 18 players for each round. So just aim to have 18 players playing each round. So when you make trades now, consider when they have the bye.

Shake n bake · 09/05/2016 at 10:40
Maybe just do the 1 trade this week Tophawk there is everychance Menadue will make his BE of 28 & every chance Mc Veigh wont! Has a breakeven of 115.

tuxCS · 09/05/2016 at 11:47
Holding him all season long, he will hopefully find for and be a decent d6 or if worst case, as a d7 backup.
