2020 Preseason
FozDaddy’s Way-Too-Early Mock Draft 2020
With the Marsh series almost upon us, many SuperCoaches are looking to complete a draft with their friends. As service to my community, I compiled my top 30 selections that I would take in a Read more…
Don't have danger, My opponent has him captain… Enough said
Have danger with the c as well, will still lose with a mid 2300 score.. my season in a nut shell
I'm going to lose to last in my paid league. It's been an absolute shocker
Yep same here 🙁
Dont feel so bad … I had Danger as Captain but in two weeks I have lost Dalhaus … knee, didn't know Adams was an out …. donut, had Hall, have Howe (not likely to play), had Apeness as cheapie …. broken collar bone, had Christensen …. broken collar bone. For every positive there is a negative or a number it would seem 🙂
Accidentally left the 'E' on Lincoln McCarthy, so will have to take his 38 on field instead of Petracca's score in order to be able to loop Dangerfield. Had Dahlhaus as well, so thank god for Danger's score.
458. This round is about the haves, and the have nots.
1162 with 11 players played. Injury stick had to hit at some point – traded Dahlhaus in this week and he cops it. Didn't VC Danger, hoping GAJ or Pendles turn it on instead
Am I crazy for considering trading in Aaron Hall as my last mid for Petracca so I can take Danger as a Captain loophole. It doesn't really affect my team or bye trades too much, as I was planning to make a fwd upgrade next week, but I was looking to bring in Zorko. I'd need the points to make sure I get a good main league spot and not to fall away from a decent end of year ranking.
I should say last fwd upgrade, not mid sorry.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
Could you downgrade to a rookie price player instead?
I could, but the I would lose points over the 3 bye round for playing a non-playing rookie. This way I don't compromise my structure and I trade in a popular player so I am only taking a communal risk.
Reasonable play if you think Hall will come good. Probably +100 points in your season total right there, you generally want about +200 points from a trade so you're half way there.
Yeah, it's a bit more than 100 because Petracca was on the bench doing sweet nothing. Depends what Pendles gets, but if it's around 120 it will net me around 218 points.
Oh right I was doing the calc as if you already have Danger but not your C. Massive bonus of course since he's not even in your side. Lock trade!
927/8 Gazz, That is with Adams Donut and I went Goldy Vice captain after switching from selwood. Never considered Danger so that was not smart. Happy with my Bken to Selwood trade now need a big one from Gazza.
Some interesting Gaz Jr. stats for those who missed the Danger boat. I'm predicting a 150+ from the little champ.
Played Richmond 9 times
Highest Score = 170
Lowest Score = 120
Ave vs Richmond = 139.4
Richmond don't tag midfielders often.
..and Go Cats
can Gaz get near or beat 229 today? how cool would that be..
Didn't quite get there, decent score though.
Traded in rocky instead of danger to keep coin in the bank will probable have to wait til after the byes to get him at a decent price . .. opponent has vc on danger .. copped a donut because of Adams' late withdrawl with hall +menadue on the pine . Whine whinge whine .
Have left pants on jock…
Sitting nicely on 1791 with another 7 premos and
weitering to play
nice..
am sitting 133, have vc loopholed dangers 748, kept hewett on ground with the big C. have to decide whether to put the E on Davis vs Richmond, Hopper vs Sydney or Smith vs Melbourne… Thoughts appreciated community…
Shaw or pendles C ?
pendles
Danger
No Danger ouch. 1130 from 11 played so would otherwise be pretty happy. Who is most likely to go huge today with the C on them?
Ablett, Pendles, Shaw or Gawn?
Pendles is reliable, but Ablett and Gawn probably have higher ceiling. Your call
1140 with Byrne, Doch, Crippa, Simspon, Kerridge, Rance, Ablett, Shiel, Cox (Hall cover), Petracca (tippa cover), Dusty, Parker, Gawn and Shaw left, hope i can get to the 2400 mark, considering ive got Cox and Petracca on the field, if everyone else shows up and projected ill be around 2500
I too am looking at mid 2400 to 2500 this week, but I'd say a lot of people will be in that range.
Just want to double check something with the community. I had a lucky break yesterday as I had Marcus Adams on my forward bench with the E on him. As he was a late withdrawal, could I put the E on Mason Cox on my forward bench and get his score (barring him being a late out) if any of my on field forwards Eg Petracca is a late withdrawal? Or would the lower E score still stand? Which would be Adams? I need to know as I can flick Cox back to the ruck bench and have Loersch back on my forward bench. Cox could then cover Gawn should he be an unlikely late out.
I would prefer to have Cox as an E on my forward bench as he would cover 4 onfield guys yet to play. Greater probability of a late out there to Gawn in the ruck. Nic Nat my other onfield ruck has played. Any thoughts much appreciated.
Playing emergencies only, tophawk. So Adams' 0 won't count.
Thanks guys. That's what I thought. Just wanted to be 100%. Cheers
Yeah you wont take adams score as he didnt play
Best C options from the following?
Shaw
Hanners
Gawn
Ablett
Ward
Unfortunately didn't put the VC on Danger.
See above
Yup.
Onto it.
Only Gawn had me questioning Gary.
Can't make my mind up,please help – Hopper or Smith on field ?
50/50
Hopper higher ceiling but tough opponent..
Smith still developing, doesn't look likely yet
having same dilemma…davis, hopper or smith…im going davis just because he palys richmond…u may want to go hopper just because he plays today..if smith is a late out on monday, u wont have cover.
Is anyone having a problem with using the loophole? Mine doesn't seem to be working. When I clicked on Ablett or Hannes there's no C option.
Who's your C on at the moment?
I put the C on Grimley from Essendon and Vc on Rocky. So I thought I'd try and switch to Ablett.
Grimley has already played so you can't change it.
Essendon played on Friday so Grimley is locked out. Doesnt matter if the player played in the game or not.
Rookie mistake there, Ben!
Haha! I don't know what I'm doing… oh well I'll remember next time.
1169 with Byrne, Franklin, Parker, Kerridge, Docherty, Martin, Hannebery, Shaw, Pendles, Petracca and Gazza as C
I have heard that I might get 2500
I'm thinking I'll probably get 2200 with my luck
I always am looking at 2400+ but then something goes wrong and I end up with 2100-2200 so now I just expect low scores
Told ya
2182 with Pendles and Petracca to go
Changed C on Danger 5 minutes before the game started. Phew!
Need advise who should I bring in for Menadue…Martin or Dids????
Martin all day IMO
yep martin then look at lids after the bye.
Going not too bad here I think. 1432 with 10 to play including Martin, Mitchell, Docherty, Parker, Sidebottom, Gawn, Kerridge, Ablett, Shaw and Petracca. Captained Rocky over Dangerfield after using my loophole on hoping Lewis would smash a big score against Essendon:) At least I had Dangerfield in the team for his massive score. Projecting 2435 at the moment. Had Collins on the field over Ruggles and Tucker.
and my opponent is loopholing Dangerfield! Might just pip him at the post:)
did the same 🙁
1338/10 with Danger Captain. Docherty, Kerridge, Martin, Ablett, McVeigh, Greene, Shaw, Hopper/Smith, Gawn, Petracca, Parker, Pendles to play.
Who to put on field out of Hopper and Smith?
Smith with longer track record but Hopper for ceiling
Smith for me
Can someone please help me ASAP??!?
If I have two non players on field and two emergencies selected, will they both sub in??
PLEASE
yes as long as there the emergency for that position
So with Hall and Grimley on field. Petracca and Dusty as Emergencies.
I'm safe to put the C on hall and get both my Vice Captains double score + The two Bench players score?
If Hall doesn't play, yes. Your VC will count twice as well as your benched emergencies.
Awesome, thanks daz
Yeah but only one (lowest) emergency score will count – right? Surely 2 emergencies in the one position both don't come in to play? I think you won't get both but the info about the VC is right.
My opponents projection is 30 less than mine but he had Danger as C. Have Pendles as my C, Rockliff VC but with Viney back in would Ablett be a better C option. Projected 2480?
I'd still back Pendles. Has been huge over the last few rounds.
Pendles for consistantsy
Yeah had to stop watching. He and Selwood are looking for each other noticeably now.
Thankfully not. Had the VC on him and my opponent had him Captain in cash league. Secretly hoped he wouldn't do that great and then I had Pendles Captain to smash out a 150.
sitting on 1027 from 11 luck hasnt been on my side have had Dahlhaus, Collins and Suckling onfield
still have Docherty, Kerridge, Lee, Ablett (c), Hannebery, Ward, Shiel, Shaw, Petracca, Gawn hopefully can get 2200 and hold my rank
On 1507/12 with Danger C. Have Simpson, Docherty, Kerridge, Martin, Ablett, Shaw, Parker, Pendlebury, Petracca, Smith to play.
Should get 2400-2500 and who to play on field out of Smith and Davis?
You have to be happy with Doch, Simpson and Kerridge first quarter?
Thought about it briefly, I learnt my lesson on late Captain changes a few weeks ago with Shaw scoring 200+ with 45 sec to go, Put it on Goldy who scored 174 which you got to be happy with, but if id stayed on Shaw would have won by 8 and sitting on top of the ladder rather than 5. That's Supercoach for you you win some and you lose some.
Sitting on 1639 with Simpson, Martin, Ward, Ablett, Parker, Shaw, Petracca, Gawn still to play
Is 2400 still in reach or am I looking at another 2300 score?
What will Ben Keays' breakeven look like after his score of 23 last night
He hasn't been what a lot of people expected top score just 76
Someone tell Gaz that Danger got 229 points.
It is a long shot but just remember it is the little master
Seriously, I need him to go HUUUUUGGGEEE
People who had the VC or C on Danger went through same amount of tissues for different reason :p
Gaz it is for C, hope he doesn't disappoint.
Was going to get Dahlhaus next week, I assume he will miss some weeks . Even then need s few weeks for his price to drop.
Lids will come in after his bye.
Leaves a choice between Buddy or Zorko for last forward upgrade?
I didn't like how Lions got smashed yesterday, worried about Zorko scoring in poor team, already have Rocky and Rich.
If I go buddy, I might do it today, why wait.
Any comments, observations or suggestions?
Hoping Dahlhaus will be back round 15. Yes his price may drop again after that, but he will still be cheap. Proven premo in good side. If you bring Buddy in next week, you really only have one week of Buddy more than Dahlhaus. If your bench is ok, say you lose 40 points for the one week. Reckon you make that up on Dahlhaus versus Buddy on the way home. Plus gives you more cash
Zorko was my number one fwd target. Now I'm not so sure. Brought in Gunston instead of Dahlhaus. Phewww. Had planned to get Dolly after bye
smells like you need a POD shark move…Tom Lynch (ADE)?
Need to trade to win this week. Thinking of bringing in either Ablett or Shiel.
Both work for my bye strategy.
What would you do community ?
Cheers,
Tony
Savage for a POD?
Yup. Put it onto Priddis. Had the C on Docherty and switched it to Sidebottom. Could be in for a double dose of pain
Is everyone going gaz who missed danger or maybe shaw or Treloar ?
Tossing between GAJ and Pendles, but GAJ averages much more against RIC (his second favourite team) than Pendles does against MEL (his second worst).
Shaw is a viable option too at Spotless.
Any news on Dahlhaus?
2-3 weeks according to Gameday
Yes.
If you didn't have Danger to this point… Honestly hang up the boots cause ya shit.
Is Tom Lee the new Zac Dawson?
There is no new Zac Dawson, nor will there ever be
Zac Dawson is one-of-a-kind
You got to feel for anyone without Danger as C or with the ability to loophole from VC. I say that genuinely…. I would be bashing my head against the wall if I couldn't have loopholed him (thank you MacPherson). I traded in Dahl this week so talk about shocking timing to balance it out for me. Without that Dahl hit I'd be looking at a mighty score this week. Only other disappointment is B Smith
I missed the Danger Captain but am relieved with my Captain so far, Dusty monstering GC 22 disposals and a goal 90 pts half time. Won't be anything like 200+ but hope he ends up 160+
Dusty 123 at 3QT. Certainly missed the boat with Danger but can't complain about 150-160 for captain should he get there
One of those weeks where your opponant can't be beat >.<
He traded in Danger b4 the game started last night and made him C. Today Docherty and Stevens going epically large
for him, Sitting on 1904 after 15 lol
My C choice in Dusty is paying off so far 90 at half time
Makes up for my VC choice on Gibbo rather than Danger
Hoping Dusty can get 160+ fingers crossed
He'll be on soon raving how brilliant to further rub salt into the wound.
Haha I would do the same too if it was my score so far
You will get Bens score A player who gets 0 for not playing won't be counted
Ablett as captain doesn't look like Danger. Hope he has a big second half.
Not enough guys around him to elevate his scoring via disposals, Richmond winning more contested
Going to be some ridiculous scores this week. After a disappointing last round I'm looking at 2600+. Should be enough to climb the rankings.
yeah but not much though 2500 is par this week, what a round for sc
Par won't be that high but still very high.
