Who has the C on the Little Master heading into the Hawks Gold Coast clash?
Whats the community think a par score might be?
Maybe 1900ish? Hard to say this week.
Agree. Around 1900. But there will be plenty below that.
With mena's ton … I'll give that a nudge now..
Had the c on gary for the first time this year … just squeezed out a 1902.. Will take that
All depends on the captain I think. Last few rounds dictated by huge scores. I'll be disappointed not to crack at least 1900 this week.
Collins looked a beast last night. Intercepts galore and got around it plenty. Could be a keeper for D7.
Bench cover I think more likely. Like all key defenders Collins will go large at time and then through in low scores. However he looks to have good job security now and can give us great bench cover after our defence is filled with proven premiums
And my opponent didn't have him in my money league just to make his score even better!
I'm fielding 19 this week arm so does this make AMT to lids a lucsury trade?
Maybe it is but it's also a great long term trade so I would still do it.
Do the trade Lids should score well, Then that will knock out one of your lower scoring players scores. They'll take your best scores in from your players on field.
is that luck-surely or luxury? do you have joey montagna? another good choice..
No I don't have joey, wasn't really concidering him. It's either gunna be AMT to lids this week or to Merrett next week?
Loopholing Collins, subbing Adams onfield and letting Rich sit on the pine. Thinking the tiges tag Rich
certain to tag the Bich
Does the loophole work? I heard it doesn't as its only best 18 onfield?
Your C can go on a bye round player if you're happy with your VC choice. It worked fine for me last week
Meant bench loophole but thanks kev and gavin
Yes it does Mac.
I had the VC on Rocky last week, put Danger on the bench and put the E on him and put Pendles on the ground. Works fine.
so do you take dangers score or go gaz ?
A most unPendles like performance last night. Carrying another niggle for sure
Bucks said after the game that he was under the weather.
Expecting him to make up for it next week against Carlton.
Ive had Gorringe as Ruck cover and now he is out with a hip. Does anyone know how serious it is. Could he get a call up next week? Or should I upgrade him so I have 18 players playing. thanks to zorko and wells for stuffing up my plans.
Upgrade him. Phillips will likely stay in.
another good effort last night worth a mention is Neale's 22 handballs, 5 kicks, & 6 tackles with Levi's Wood all over him
Got to love when the rookies get decent scores alias Collins and Philips last night.
Loopholing Collins, putting Austin on field and putting Rance on the bench.
Same as me, full premo defence, but 126 is a safe 126, considering the season Rance has had, he will have 40 or 130, even if he gets 130, ill bank the 126
Lids or Montagna??? Saints look like they have the easier run home
I like Lids
I have the same issues thinking Montagna cheaper plays undercover most games from here out dual position as already stated easier run home.
Montagna, Saints starting to warm up & he's dirt cheap
Trading in my last forward premo today and it's between Lids and Martin and my question is whether it's a dumb move to go lids forward and Martin into my midfield next week or is it wrong to have Martin in my midfield as possibly my only mid/fwd swing option from now on?
What do you guys think of Nic Nat to Martin, Ben Ken to Lids and Wines to Doch via dpp. This fields me with 17 but only way to get the 18 is to also trade out Tracca/ Libba. Leaves me with 7 trades and about 300k in the bank for upgrading Rich, Smith and AMT.
Will i put menadue onfield? i'm worried he might score a minus.
Ha ha. Doubt he'll count towards your score unless he beats Rich and Smith.
This has me thinking? If he did score a minus in a normal round and you had an emergency, would you get the e score or be stuck with the minus score because it's not a 0?
Oh and stranger things have happened such as Zac Dawson's 82 last night. Possible trade in option next week?
The minus score has happened a while back, pete. Can't remember who it was (from the dogs maybe?) Scored -3. As a playing emergency his score counted
I know this one 'cos he was in my team at the time.
It was Gary Rohan in 2104 and I got a -2 from him. Unbloodybelievable.
he's about to go big.. phfft
You've been Men a done
A week is a long time in SuperCoach.
He was Mena-due for a big score. …
Lol. I knew he would do ok 😉
Dusty vc into Danger.
Hoping Snapperhead goes to Cotch.
My boy is on fire!
Going Shaw Vc into Danger C. Although I don't know why I was my time with the loophole because at the moment Danger could break both legs in the first 5 minutes of the game and still pump out a 150.
Anyone got the VC on the Poo ?
what a brilliant cunning move by Richmond
Has the poo broke his ceiling already, still 10min to go first half
Traded out menadue last week instead of macpherson. Hope menadue doesnt get another tourch for the game
I traded him out this week! Had 19 players so didn't think I would need his points. And I thought he was more chance to miss his break even, so would lose cash! Traded Smith out last week, thinking he would also struggle to hit his BE. I also didn't trade in Phillips this week. I need that trade to play next week to get 18 on the field, so I thought it better to wait to make sure he was picked. So have missed a few points this week. Luckily my team is a bit crap, so I had Collins on the park.
Well trading macpherson instead of menadue would have fielded me 18 players for the next 2 rounds instead of 17…
I think he had 1 touch in the 3rd quarter
The poo has turned into diareah, he's everywhere.
The Poo has hardened
could not have picked a better time to harden……..you little pooty
First Dawson now Menadue….be afraid people, things are weird.
menadoing everthing!!! Looking to ton up
Damo you are brilliant, had us bluffed, did you back him for the brownlow?
The Poo outscoring Brodie "Shit" Smith before half time makes me realise just how bad I wanna trade him out for Doc this week.
In a normal week I wouldn't have had McGovern, Collins or Menadue on field. Funny week
Accidently starting Menadue over phillips is turning out better than expected! 75 to half time!
How's the trouser action from Mendue
Menapoo doubling his season total in one half
cmon Menadue LIFT
He just tonned up! wowzers
I kept him too…. just pure luck though …Always seemed to have more pressing issues to fix …… do we start a chain asking whether we keep him as a f7 or f8?
must be considered, he could be anything
I am just glad he will get a game next week.
Well Rocky VC worked out…NOT
So guys my VC on Martin looks to be a bit short, he is 87 3 qtr time even if he has a 40 pts quarter it's a bit low.
Danger or Ablett is going to be the biggest C call of the round for most of us I reckon.
But who to whack it on?
Further more who other than God himself has scored 3 150+ sc points in a row?
Can Danger do that?
I had Dusty too.
Danger now.
Round 14 Rising Star – C. Menadue – couldn't happen ,could it ?
Has Collins had a vote, otherwise yes for sure
Assuming that most had him at the start and traded him when he got injured …Will anyone reconsider redrafting johanissen when he comes back after the bye? Maybe wait agame … Say he gets 70-odd in his first game back in the seniors …. ? Is that enough ?
I hope he comes back with a couple of 80s. Then I'd strongly consider swooping at a bargain price. Can go big and really there are very few consistent defenders anyway so why not take the risk?
I'll be grabbing him.
yes.
I've got a spot saved for a premium defender, either JJ or Z Williams but prefer JJ
been impressed with S.Martin has not gone soft that big Stiffie
Looking ahead to next rounds trades – should I look at Z Williams or Pittard to fill D6? Already have Shaw, Simpson, Docherty, Bartel and Laird.
Pittard
I mean Williams. ..
Zac Dawson
I really hope Higgo didn't bring in Conca…
Whats happened to robinson????
Townsend knocked him out with a hit to the head.
Arsehat!!
Menadue 130. Spare me.
good boy
What bullshit sc scoring is menadue 4 touches in last half out scores Martin! & he only outscores delido by 19 don't clearences & goal assist count. Have to scratch my head again.
Score early and you're set.
1 kick & 3 handballs 3 tackles in last half for menadue worth 56 pts!!!
something not right, you know what they say "if it smells like poo.."
Hahaha and you will get ass wipes telling you your a whining baby because you don't Understand sc scoring. IMO 53 pts for that is just insane.
Been saying this for for many months that sc is not perfect and that players who get the 1st good wave score well through out. SuperCoach or SuperSurf?
agree
Obviously you don't have Menadue
I have Menapoo and I agree.
The Menopause score has got me screwed, it really has. However that being said this happens every week with a few players and its B/S
Taken C off Danger and onto Shaw at the last minute maybe
I did it
brave, he's due for massive game
Not looking good
Wow
God I'm stupid
I hate my life
Ohh dear Tommo. Heater is looking at a spud score with a capital S!!! I am not sure what to say mate. Let's pray he get a bit of the pill in the last quarter and a bit to get close to 100.
> Taken C off Danger
These are words that should never be spoken. The SC Gods have smited thee for thy insolence.
hr might make 50
Oof
Holy Smokes Batman. First it was McGovern, then Phillips and Collins and today Maitherson and Menadue. Who needs premiums.
Had the VC on Menadue. Should I take this for my captain.
YES
No. put the C on Davis.
Menalegend! Must have been due!
How much is Spudadue paying for the Brownlow?
ha ha ha
Zac Williams I think I love you.. looking good for D6 maybe D5!!
Should have went Simpson instead of Doch. Doch is going to decrease in money.
how about now?
How crazy are this rounds scores?
"Geez I wish I had Menadue instead of Pendlebury or Rockliff."
Stop it
What do we do with Patty Cripps, starting to give me a headache with some inconsistent scores
I've got him as well BB. Stubborn in holding him because I really thought this would be his breakout year.
A straight swap to Ward after his bye is an option I'm considering
He might have another good game or two in him but next year for Cripps
Ok so Hampson over Martin didn't work. Hampson as ruck forward cover and Martin in after the bye maybe. What other rucks other than Gawn Goldie are there?
And weird SC scoring. Games today are really low. Lots of scaling afterwards
How much cash will Menadue make this week?
Was meant to trade Hopper next week and Mena this week. Actually got lucky for a change!
next 2 weeks or more should make nice $$
Trade plans out the window!!!
Anybody take off shaw to get Collins score 🙂
WTF is up with Heath Shaw. Playing like a prancing peacock. Most coaches have him, but bloody hell, something had to be said!
Everyone has him, no big problem
Please re-read my comment above, "Most coaches have him, but bloody hell,"
Cheers
menadue on the bench with the E on him, if i have all 6 forwards playing but 18 scoring players will i get his points or not?
No. Need 1 non player in forwards for him to sub
Yes. The lowest scorer in your forward line will now be disregarded. Cheers
I would have thought no. Only 18 on the field or emergencies if their score would have been counted. ie one of your 6 forwards didn't play.
Menadue and Collins scoring premium like scores. Bartel and shaw spudding up!
Bugger. Gut was telling me to take Barlows 119 over Danger. Not to bad though.
Your gut is silly
take ablett as C over dangers 105 (prescaling)?
Must be some rookie or spud you can put the C on 🙂
Every day.
Especially Sunday, honour thy Holiness.
Amen to that brother
That's my plan.
Absolutely. Like many SCers, I have the VC on Danger and will proceed with Abba as my C and who usually does well against the Hawks.
Menadue flogs Danger , its a funny game.
Not heated comments. HEATER comments. Have another Pimms YOU OLD SHEILAH.
Ablett or sam mitchell for captain? I figure with hodge back to take some heat, mitchell should have a freer run at the ball? Or bank dangers 105 odd.
Par for this week? I'm on 1546 with Hall and GAJ to go. Danger was captain.
1900
I'm on 1594 with Gaz with the C to go. Plus Joyce if he can beat Shaws 47.
Might get 1950 but looking like I'll only win 2/10 leagues. Some got scores this week.
I meant 1850
I'm on 1568 with hall Davis Ablett to go still have Sloane vc pts to be added aswell.
Another good week for you. Playing well
1493 with Ablett as captain. The donut has really hurt me this week. Assuming well under par?
Geez what a weird round.
Zorko, wells, hopper all out gave me 13.
With trades got 16 playing but brought in simmo, lids and Phillips so pretty happy with those ins.
Got the VC on danger, C on abs.
In god we trust?
Also got the E on ruggles (who is playing some good footy)
Should i take his 91 as banked points?
I will need to sit gibbo on the bench to do this?
Or back gibbo in to score 90?
Rance, Bartell, Shaw all spuds. Very tempted to take Ruggles score if I was you
Also I was very lucky to get in Savage at the last moment. I would really be struggling without his 46 points. Now, I too am SAVAGE!
91 is good fishing this round. Take the RUGG.
If gaz scores 115 odd I'm looking around 1900 from only 17 playing. This around par?
Par 1800 this week? Seems a fair few lower scores to popular players this round
Seems like a week where scores will fluctuate a fair bit with Collins & Menadue 256.
Rory Sloane VC locked. DAMN!
take it
Okay so all my defenders are playing this week but u have Collins on the bench as emergency, they don't take his score in the best 18 do they?
i*
Unfortunately no they don't.
I reckon anyone who cracks 2000 this week will be well ahead of the curve.
I am on 1710 with GAJ (capt) and Hall to come.
If they both post 3 figures tomorrow I think I may shout myself a 6 pack of VB.
Sorry, Carlton Draught obviously.
Forgot where I was for a moment.
No Juzzy vb is very best
(All made same place)
Joyce a worthy downgrade option to free up the chest for byrne-jones?
He could be, don't expect him to get a heap of games though
only to free up cash
This is the worst week I have ever played
Brought in Savage
Put the C on Shaw
Had 16 on field
1377 with Ablett and Hall to go
c'mon Gaz you little champ, bring it home today..
My week was gone from the start…
Went Steven over Sloane
Traded Jroo for lids
Decided to keep B.Smith
1504 with Hall and Ablett (c) to come. Danger a little down on his usual output and Shaw and Bartel both shit the bed, happy with the rest of my team.
Will be looking to paint the fence with Phillips to come in and an upgrade to Montagna. Bang bang!
Im on track for about 1750 this week exactly 18 scorers but in my public league one guys whole field is bulldogs except 2 players luckily get him on their bye round set for big % boost lol
Trade Adams or DBJ to free up cash for upgrades? Collins is my other rookie currently. Or just HOLD ?
Rest of team is
Shaw Simpson docherty laird Bartel Adams Collins dbj
Danger pendles Ablett Parker Sloane ward Libba kerridge Trengove Stewart d.cuningham
Gawn goldy Cox
Zorko Martin hall Barlow Montagna petracca Phillip menadue
12 trades and 116k left
DBJ out first, younger player and form has dropped off. Also has high BE. I've traded out Adams but he's still going well and worth just keeping an eye on for now
Who for?
A standing ovation for the following rookies, for repaying the faithful with a combined score of 591 points!!
C Menadue (rising star nom?)
S Collins
T Ruggles
J Gresham
J Smith
L McCarthy
..and a special mention goes out to T Phillips (87 points) for providing much needed relief during these volatile times.
Add McGovern (85) and Mathieson (89) to that list, Starkingdom. Rookies during this round as we approach full premium teams.
sorry had the blinkers on.. both should've been on the list. Still raising my eyebrows at the upside down week in SC..
G'day community, can any of you maths geniuses please tell me the approximate price of Menadue after this round?
I don't think it will be much this week but in the following few weeks he could go up quite a bit, IF he plays well.
He'll jump to $250L mate
$250K, with a nagative breakeven next week
Thanks Jock.
Gonna have to cross the legs and hold the poo in for a couple of weeks.
If you crack 2k this week I'd suggest your in for a significant rank jump. Bring it home Gary & Repay the faith Mr Hall
I need GAJ more than ever this week Pie. I have had the horribilest of all anusses.
We need details!
Gaz 100 half time, how good does it feel when you keep faith in the Son of God
do i take dangers 110 as captain or give it to the little master?
I've got the same captain's set up as you and I'm rolling the dice on the little master 🙂
I'm confident going with Gaz
1430 with Danger cap and a donut.
Gibbo Gaz and Hall to come.
Communities thoughts on SMitchells likely run home? (I know they have bye next week think he's been rested enough and could come home hard, POD or stupidity?)
154 behind my opposition got GAJ and Hall to play they don't have anyone else, do i have a chance Tassie worries me.
are you drunk?
unfortunately no
should rack up 200+ together
hope so stark
Is it worth trading toby greene for brett deledio. I have a full premo side except for brodie smith but im holding him until JJ returns to see his form
I don't think so. Toby in a purple patch and lids is only doing ok. I would get rid of smith after round 15 to a premo defender
I am doing everything I can to upgrade others but keep petracca and Adams after the byes.They are excellent to have as cover particularly with the DPP. Reckon those two with my spuds that are DPP will get the team through as with them I can cover def, mid and fwd. ATM good too but traded him.
Last premo upgrade…… Sloane or Neale?
Sloane
Dont Blush Baby – Lids
Neale may reduce a bit now that teams see he struggles with a hard tag
This has been a hugely frustrating year. A mixture of bad luck and bad judgment all year.
Started with Lonergan instead of Libba (bad judgement)
Traded Rocky for Priddis Round 3 when Priddis was still 611k
Bought in M Murphy. Spudded it up for a few weeks than gets injured in first quarter. So I got 12. Meant I had Hewett on field the following week – concussion first quarter so I got 11.
Traded out Davis bought in MacPherson. Davis comes good, get nothing from MacPherson.
This week I traded out Menadue. Could have traded Tippa, but I already had 19 players and I genuinely thought he wouldn't make his break even. Cost me 100 points because I have Robinson (another first quarter concussion)
After my trades over the next week two weeks, I have quite a decent team (on paper). Shiel comes in for Gresham after the bye.
Def. Shaw, Docherty, Laird, Bartel, McVeigh, Rampe (Collins, Broad)
Mid. Danger, Hanners, Ward, Gray, Priddis, Sidebottom, Sloane, Shiel (Trengove, Stewart, Beech)
Ruck. Goldy, Martin (Wyatt)
Fwd. Martin, Deledio, Barlow, Hall, Robinson, Lycett (Petracca, Phillips)
I will still have 9 trades left.
But I am ranked around 47k.
I follow this site religiously. I research intensively. I only sideways traded Rocky for Priddis. (And maybe traded Wells too soon when he was injured)
Just one of those years, I guess, when you don't get reward for effort. It's frustrating because I used to be higher ranked when I was a mid price madness player who really didn't have a plan. Feels like the more I know, the worse I get.
Anyway, might make 3 or 4 finals out of the 10 leagues I play, so will try to get something out of the year.
Bring on 2017!
Sounds like my year. At least you didn't start with Lobbe
Did my best (as did many others) to talk you out of that one, Derek! But you have to go with your gut – even if it lets you down from time to time
Sounds exactly like my 2015 mate, just one of those years where you can't catch a break, keep on keeping on, it'll come good.
You've got a pretty decent team all things considered.
Thanks Ranger. Appreciate the empathy! Good luck for the rest of the year!
Don't stress. So much luck to this game. We have all been there. This is my first year of playing semi seriously. Even if I do only pick my team in the week before the season starts. I still make my mistakes. Chase points. (Selwood, Hall) Trade out players too early ( Wells, Bartel) Went from 74000 to 10000 but then Tippett and NicNat disaster. Sometime glad I'm not near the top. Way to much stress!!
leading by 93 with Ablett and and Hall
opposition has Gibson and the c on Ablett and also has Hall
Can I win?
Doubt it ethan
Gonski
I have a 211 point lead on my opponent. He has Gibson + Gaz c vs my Gaz no c.
I had planned to trade Brown to Broad in a week or two, Am I crazy to trade Brown to Joyce this week, to give me (slightly) more chance at a win?
Going for league only and after next week Joyce will be D8.
11 trades left kez, libba and Adams away from full premo.
Have to make a decision before 3.20 tick tock tick tock.
Tricky one, if Gibbo tons up and Gaz goes big you're gone
How'd you go ? Whatd you do ?
Heres hoping Gaz pumps out a 130+. Strange supercoach week with many underperforming premos. Lets hope gary can buck the trend.
2K+ score if he does, go champ
…done . Long live the king
Thoughts community ranked inside the top 100 and going for it!
Def: Yarran, JJ, Murphy, KK, Dawson, Francis
Mid: Fyfe, Beams, Swan, Hodge, D.Swallow, Adams, O'Meara, B.Crouch
Ruck: Sandilands, Maric
Forward: Bennell, Roughead, S.Gray, Shultz, S.Morris, Conca
Need two more upgrades till full premo
My two trades this week
Francis to Trent Mckensie
Conca to Papley
Thoughts?
Need to trade out Hodge and bring in Tippett
yeah I think get rockliff, waite, & even wells on your list for finals and your set
Trade Dippa in after his bye and you're set
who's on the pine?
Looks like my team
Bring in Chris Dawes
Bring in Brand or Joyce to free up cash. either with JS?
Behold the beauty of the Little Bald Master!
Go you good thing!
150 looking good
Oh gosh the rookie trend continues. Brand on 30 at qtr time, however I doubt he will keep it up. Pity I have Brand on the bench instead of Bartels, Shaws, Brodies sub 50 scores
Anyone thinking its time to move on from Hall?
Did it weeks ago, he's piised off for some reason and that was enough for me.
tempting, but im waiting for a week or so after Dahl is back, his price will drop a stack so ill just swap them, then trade Kerridge to Zorko after next week, will have my team finished
GAJ @ 95 at 1/2 time, Go captain go. Not happy with Hall or Ryan Davis (0)
Zero at half time takes me crack to when Birchall was -3 at half time 3 years ago if memory serves me well.
Back* no one take me crack you hear lol
Dunno about Hall, but Im definitately finished with Davis
I already planned to get him out for Phillips. But was hoping he could at least make more money …
Come on Gibbo need 57+ points in second half to win $ league
Looks like this week will be who has Ablett as C vs those who don't.
