The Scout Report – Round 15
WOOHOO! One more week of byes to go.
Just one more week and we’ll be back to having every single one of our players back available to us and no more of this Best 18 nonsense going on. Howdy folks, I’m Barron Von Crow and this is the Round 15 Rookie Scout Report.
Its Thursday people and it’s a bye week, so that means we’ve got another Thursday night game in the works to make our planning all the more annoying and it also means two things. Firstly, it means that the lockout occurs after team announcements on Thursday, so you won’t be able to reverse any trades, so you’ll need to get them locked in early. Secondly and even more excitingly, since it is Thursday night football it also means CoachKings is open to play right at home from the comfort of your living room…or bedroom…or toilet. Basically, wherever you enjoy watching your footy from in your house, you can play CoachKings from there on Thursday! So make sure you enter your team and are in the running for some great cash prizes.

MIDFIELDERS
Tom Phillips
SC Price: $117,300 | AF Price: $179,000 | CoachKings Price: $4,200
FEATURED COACHKINGS CONTEST: Saturday, Carlton VS Collingwood.
Round 14 Stats: 19 disposals, 6 marks, 6 inside 50’s, 3 tackles, 1 goal 3 behinds, 87 SCPoints, 92 AFPoints, 109 CKPoints
Phillips is a MID/FWD and on the bubble this week, so I imagine every fantasy football player in the country will be looking at bringing him in. He was fantastic getting the ball forwards for the Pies and if it wasn’t for some inaccuracy in front of goals he probably would have had a triple digit score. Perfect downgrade option this week (for Barlow?) and an easy pick for CoachKings this Saturday.
Jade Gresham
SC Price: $273,700 | AF Price: $296,000 | CoachKings Price: $5,000
Round 14 Stats: 16 disposals, 3 marks, 8 Inside 50’s, 1 goal, 82 SCPoints, 67 AFPoints, 102 CKPoints
The Round 14 Rising Star nominee, Gresham also kicked one of the goals of the year to help the Sainters get over the line against the Cats. He was very quiet early in the year, but has improved his scoring just a tad over the last month or so, going from scores in the 40-50 range to scores in the 60-70 range.
FORWARDS
Mitch McGovern
SC Price: $305,100 | AF Price: $300,000 | CoachKings Price: $6,600
FEATURED COACHKINGS CONTEST: Sunday, Melbourne VS Adelaide
Round 14 Stats: 13 disposals, 7 marks, 5 tackles, 1 goal, 85 SCPoints, 81 AFPoints, 90 CKPoints
A career best game for McGovern, fantasy footy wise, as he eclipsed his previous best in Supercoach of 73, which he had against both Gold Coast and Hawthorn. His forward line marking, particularly his ability to take a contest mark is what is making him stand out a bit in a very talented frontline for the Crows. He’s down to being in 4.7% of sides, but has a BE of 49, which he should break, but it’s at the pointy end of the season now where you’ll need to seriously think about upgrades if you still have blokes like this playing post the bye rounds.
Connor Menadue
SC Price: $257,700 | AF Price: $259,000 | CoachKings Price: $4,000
FEATURED COACHKINGS CONTEST: Friday, Port Adelaide VS Richmond
Round 14 Stats: 19 disposals, 7 marks, 6 tackles, 2 goals, 130 SCPoints, 103 AFPoints, 122 CKPoints
Connor ManWasHeDue….for a good game finally produced for us! Ha! Did you see that? I made a joke out of his name and tied it into his performance on the weekend… OK, now that you’re all recovered from the bouts of laughter you know doubt went through, Menadue was absolutely fantastic against the Lions, producing a round saving score for a lot of teams with a big 130 SCPoints and statistical highs in most categories. Still lots of handballs and uncontested stuff in there, but he made every one of them stick, which is a bit of a problem he has had previously. BE is -19 for the moment, so ride him for the next few weeks and hope he can pop above 300K.
Sam Kerridge
SC Price: $440,200 | AF Price: $449,000 | CoachKings Price: $7,000
FEATURED COACHKINGS CONTEST: Saturday, Carlton VS Collingwood
Round 14 Stats: 22 disposals, 3 tackles, 81 SCPoints, 69 AFPoints, 74 CKPoints
Hello Sam, my old friend. Your time in my Supercoach side may be at an end. He again scored 81 SCPoints from 22 possessions (17 handballs though) and as good as he has been for us this year, he’s just short of being a premo player and with Leigh Montagna just sitting a short hop away, it just makes too much sense. I love ya Sammy, you’ve served me well, but it may be time to send you on your way.
DEFENDERS
Jacob Weitering
SC Price: $347,500 | AF Price: $316,000 | CoachKings Price: $6,500
FEATURED COACHKINGS CONTEST: Saturday, Carlton VS Collingwood
Round 14 Stats: 11 disposals, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 70 SCPoints, 51 AFPoints, 69 CKPoints
An OK game from Weitering, with the 70 SCPoints, which apart from his big 121 score in Round 11 is actually his highest score since Round 5. His BE is now up to 83, which he can beat, we’ve seen him do it, but it might be the end of the road for Weitering in 2016 with the need to upgrading him becoming apparent.
Tom Ruggles
SC Price: $305,200 | AF Price: $299,000 | CoachKings Price: $5,100
Round 14 Stats: 21 disposals, 9 marks, 3 tackles, 91 SCPoints, 96 AFPoints, 75 CKPoints
Has been on a good run over his last 3 games, averaging 81 SCPoints. His BE is just 23, but the Cats are on the bye this week, so his price won’t move up until Round 16 is done and dusted.
Sam Collins
SC Price: $254,900 | AF Price: $258,000 | CoachKings Price: $6,700
Round 14 Stats: 18 disposals, 6 marks, 4 tackles, 8 1%ers, 126 SCPoints, 81 AFPoints, 145 CKPoints
The Bye Round Saviour! An absolutely fantastic game for Collins, one that the 30.3% of teams that own him would love to have seen, especially at this time of the year. He went at 94% efficiency with his 18 touches and he has now produced 2 scores of 100+ in his first five games. His BE is pushed way down to -30 now, so after Fremantle have their bye he is going to make some serious cash.
RUCKS
Mason Cox
SC Price: $278,700 | AF Price: $260,000 | CoachKings Price: $6,500
FEATURED COACHKINGS CONTEST: Saturday, Carlton VS Collingwood
Round 14 Stats: 10 disposals, 3 marks, 4 tackles, 7 hitouts, 2 goals, 72 SCPoints, 60 AFPoints, 89 CKPoints
Just the third time in his career he’s been in double digit disposals, with all 3 times being 10 disposals. Those 72 SCPoints would have been a very welcome addition to a lot of SCers forward/ruck lines however. His BE is 48 this week, so I would probably hold on to him for another week and get the byes out of the way first before moving him, unless you have a nice upgrade trade in mind.
THE BEST OF THE REST…
Jacob Hopper – Hurt his back and will be out for 6 weeks. Likely means the end of AFL footy for him for 2016 as I expect he’d play out the rest of the year in the NEAFL.
Corey Wagner – Just his second game and it was slightly better than the first, but still nothing outstanding from him, apart from his tackling, which was a highlight against the Crows. He had just 9 disposals with the 9 tackles, for 49 SCPoints and 60 AFPoints. On the bubble, which is a rare thing these days, but North have the bye this week, so he’ll keep another week.
Darcy Tucker – The second quiet game in a row for Tucker, having less than 10 disposals in his last two games for 45 and 46 SCPoints. Just simple really, needs to find more of the pill if he’s to score better.
Josh Smith – Probably one of the best games he’s played for the Pies, he had 25 disposals and 4 tackles for 93 SCPoints and 96 AFPoints. He had had a quiet few weeks prior to that, so it’s good to see him get some nice scores back on. His disposal numbers were never the problem, his career low is 17, just had lots of uncontested handballs in there. He evened up the kick/handball ratio a bit better on the weekend too.
Ben Keays – It was probably a good result for Keays to get 42 SCPoints from just 6 disposals considering he scored 39 from 13 disposals in Round 13. BE is 51, which he’ll probably struggle to make, but Brisbane have the bye this week. Could maybe downgrade him for Phillips, but you won’t make a ton of cash doing that.
Eric Hipwood – The Lions were probably very happy with young Hipwoods game on the weekend. He had just the 7 disposals, but kicked 3.2 in there too, so for a team with goal kicking problems, that’s a good result. Just the 57 SCPoints from that, which is probably his ceiling as a fantasy footballer at the moment.
Josh Schache – Only 8 disposals, 4 marks and a goal, but had 75 SCPoints from it, which is a very good result for him.
Matthew Hammelmann – Only 10 disposals and 5 marks, though he did take a couple of contested ones in there. Had 3 clangers too, so his score was pretty bad at just 29 SCPoints. Remember though, at this point of the year, if you’re downgrading you’re probably just looking for bench cover and not cash generation, so he might have his uses if he sticks around.
Jarrad Jansen –His second solid game in a row, with 16 disposals and a goal for 64 SCPoints. He can do better, as evidenced by his 98 upon debut, but it’s certainly better than the 35 he scored in his second game.
Rhys Mathieson – Big game for him, having 24 disposals, 3 marks and 7 tackles for 89 SCPoints. Had scored in the 50’s his previous two games, so is it just a big game for the youngster, or a new trend for him? He had his first price rise, so he’s only up to 174K, which is still enough to maybe consider trading him in, but Phillips is there at a cheaper price and has also had his bye.
Jayden Short – Has been better since his recall, again topping the 10+ disposal mark with 12. Had 58 SCPoints, which isn’t great, but better than what he was producing before.
Liam Sumner – Not a total surprise of a score from Sumner with just 39 SCPoints from 11 disposals. He’s scored in that range plenty of times before and will probably keep doing it for the rest of the season.
Ciaran Byrne – A better result for Byrne, who had scores of 48 and 49 in his Round 11 and 12 games prior to the bye. He had 15 disposals, 8 tackles and 64 SCPoints, but fared better in AFL Fantasy where he had 82 AFPoints. Like his teammate Weitering, it’s time to move him out if you have him.
Matthew Kennedy – What I said I feared would happen last week did end up happening. Kennedy scored 67 on debut, but had 3 goals in there and just 11 disposals. Last week, Kennedy had just 6 disposals, no goals and scored 35 SCPoints. It’s only his first year, so that’ll happen with youngsters and the Giants are probably just giving him a small taste as a reward for some hard work in the seconds.
Lincoln McCarthy – Did a fairly good job to get involved, helping the Cats get back into the game with 3 3rd quarter goals. He also had 18 disposals and 5 marks for 69 SCPoints and 85 AFPoints, but a massive 7 clangers killed his chances a bit.
Peter Wright – Had one of his higher scores of the year with 70 SCPoints from 9 disposals, 4 marks and a goal. Should continue to hold his place in the side, even with the Suns having some blokes returning from injury.
Ryan Davis – His streak of good games came to an end, producing his lowest score of the year last week with just 32 SCPoints. Definitely the time to get rid of him if you still have him in your side.
Kaiden Brand – Back into the side after a 5 week layoff and he was OK, with 13 disposals and 7 marks for 60 SCPoints. JS will still be questionable though.

Bye – Sydney
BVC Reid has a bye as well.
I'm still shaking my head with disbelief at Connor Menaduds score. He's been sitting on my bench since week 1. I imagine a lot of people quite rightly traded him out weeks ago. Another ton this week could make him the ultimate pod!
I'm with you Rick, obviously Hardwick likes the boy, until last week no one new why. Menadue can play just needs to believe in himself. He didn't get much of the pill last week but was so effective / good sign he can play. Go the POO..
Kerridge out for me this week. Can get Merrett or go for value in Buddy or pod in NRoo?
Thoughts on taking Nick Riewoldt instead of Deledio? I have been slammed these bye rounds due to injuries, need to do something different now.
YES why is it such a dilemma? Big Nick is a legend of the game, the Saints are firing, heaps of games at ES, and the bloke can play with a bullet in his guts..
Do it. He gets enough touches to rack up the big scores, even when not kicking goals . Such a big motor on the bloke. What's the ownership like? I have Lids but would equally pump for Saint Nick.
Love the Sound of Silence reference you snuck in there!
Thats good
Get in as my last fwd Montanga or Buddy?
I reckon Buds about to go off, Joey safe (soft) choice
Montagna any day. More reliable and owned by less (this week anyway).
Hi community
Who do we think will be best out of ZMerrett and Montagna for the rest of the season? I have Wells and Barlow but I think I will just swap Barlow out and hope for the best with Wells.
Cheers
I'm trading out both Wells and Barlow this week. We always planned to trade Wells out, and i can't afford to have Barlow sitting on my bench for a month. Personally, i'd go for Montagna. I don't trust any Essendon players and Joey is a reliable scorer who should average 105+ here on out.
I'm not sure why you would trade Wells. If he's fit again, he's a top 5 forward. I also planned on shipping him out at some stage. But I hadn't factored on him being so good. If injured, by all means. But a fit Wells is going about as good as anyone.
Cheers guys. I agree, Wells has had great output this season. What is everyone's thoughts on Boyd now?
no.. we didnt always have a plan to trade wells out..
Do I get in Sloane or Ablett?
Sloane has a smooth run home against teams outside the top 8.
ha ha
shut it pod
no you shut it Mick, this is a forum, you put it out there, I laughed at the suggestion, get over it.
One is the Son of the God. The other is a very good footballer.
Thoughts on Treloar community? Undervalued and back with a 119 last week however Collingwood's draw worries me. Need to fill my last midfield spot.
I almost took him last week, then backed out. He looked like he'd spud early on – then went bang. I reckon he's a great option and I'll pull the trigger this time. A 115+ average from here on out I reckon
Getting him in for Libba this week
Yep i'm with you guys. Full premo now bar Hall (who i think will find his form back in the mid). Decided on Wells > Sloane. I got trades so might as well use em!
Jesse Joyce or Mitch Brown from WCE as a downgrade option? Buddy or Zac Merett?
I would go Menadue. He can only get better !
Just giving everyone the heads up. I'm looking into the possibility of trading Barlow to JKennedy (WCE) this week and sticking the VC on him tonight. Everyone knows that he is a Flat-track Bully and scores big at home and against weaker teams. I read that WCE have won 26 of their last 27 against teams outside the top 8. In most of those games kennedy will kick a fair few.
His next 6 games. 4 are at home! Home games are against Essendon, Kangas, Melbourne & Fremantle.
His two away games in that time are against Carlton & Collingwood.
You know what i'm seeing here community! Is it SHARK MOVE number 3!
like it, like it alot, and your description of JK is accurate to the tee
Not really a shark move as a shark move is to trade out someone who is blitzing and is still playing.
Barlow is injured so it is a good trade.
Solid choice and POD. I have other trades this week but I have put JK on my watchlist for next week if Wells is still out.
Brought in Kennedy a few weeks ago for this very reason. Had him as captain when he scored about 160 and was happy. Not so much with his 49. Vice captain tonight, I think we might get over 200 from him.
Did you ever see Shark-nado?
they were good, 1, 2 & 3!
Top notch as usual BVC.
Manwashedue – straight out of the top draw – cue brucey "clever" and "oh that's special".
Barron,
Great column as always!
Just for your lists, Sam J. Reid has dpp status (Fwd/Mid) and has the bye this week.
Who to VC this week?
Im thinking Josh Kennedy (WCE) or Priddis.
Thoughts please.
Josh K if weather good
I'm going VC Ablett into C Hannebery
Is Kerridge and Keays to Montagna and Joyce good trades?
Yes, sound trades
Thoughts community
Libba out for Hannebery
Grimley (bench) out for Montagna
Keays out for Phillips
Good trades
Dahl still 2-3 weeks away which means round 18. That's is well into the ass end of the season for SC. I'm struggling to get 18 on the park this week, should I sell?
Hold i reckon. He's a gun. I'm trading him sideways for Green/ Hall depending who's worse in a couple weeks. As long as you have cover this week you should be fine. Heard he's making a speedy recovery.
Unbelievable that nobody is mentioning Nankervis. Number 1 ruck at Sydney for at least the next 6 or 7 games. Averaging 78 and looking at home playing AFL level. Cox –> Nankervis gives you 100k and a better scoring player.
$278,700 – $226,600 = $52,100
What does everyone think about Boyd? Indefinite suspension and 5K is big for a drunken biff. He must have been bad.
Hes getting paid millions, lets face it, 5k isnt exactly going to burn a hole in his pocket.
When i read Boyd i sh*t my pants but luckily you're talking about Tom! Phew!
Can Coachkings be played on an IPad from home?
My phone is too dumb to play (not a smart phone)
Worth shifting Wells to finish off MID with Ablett? I believe Wells is a top 5 FWD, but have no other way of generating sufficient cash to nab Ablett this week.
The fear is that with quite a low b/e for Rd15 – Ablett will only get more expensive…
Who will you be upgrading/Downgrading to do the trade?
Hey Beagz,
It'll be: Wells & Keays > T. Phillips & Ablett
I like the trades.
Well's body is a concern for the remainder of the season, but his form is very good. Ablett has just got his body right, and he is killing it again (the Gary of old).
Keays to Phillips is a great trade, more points, and more cash to spend.
Do it
Thanks guys. Much appreciated!
Ablett will explode this week imo, we can all see this coming!
watch out for sc record pts 🙂
Would downgrading hall to Phillips be a smart move or dumb move? I'm thinking if hall is going to go big much from here on outl that making 380k from it could be good for upgrading to a premium off another rookie.
Yeah or nah?
i've got him on my watchlist as a possible F7 pickup next week if i see him getting any decent midfield time.
Hey team,
I have Barlow, Dalhaus & Wells all in my lineup. Which one goes out & who for? I'm thinking Montagna with the run home (already have Dusty).
Relevant fwd line premo options. I have hall, lids, deledio, montagna, barlow, wells (trading barlow)
Dusty, Buddy or Josh Kennedy.
I have all 3, but Dusty would be the best.
Davis is the first to go.
Im thinking Wells becuase of the ??'s over his body, and Kerridge (has done his job, never a keeper).
GWS have a very good run till the end of the season, and Greene tends to cash in when GWS get wins.
Bring in McVeigh for B. Smith or wait for JJ?
If JJ named, he go BANG BANG.
First bang is his boot connecting with the ball, second is the hammy.
Anyone think Yeo can come good second half of this year? Or is he average at best??
Is Boyd worth the pod move over Simpson?
Notice that most top 100 teams have Simpson over Boyd…
Hi. Team is:
Shaw, Docherty, Simpson, Rance, Bartel, Laird, (collins, brand)
Dangerfield, Ablett, Hannebery, Selwood, Rockliff, T. Mitchell, Priddis, R. Gray (Jansen, Trengrove, Gresham)
Gawn, Goldstein (Whyatt)
Martin, Zorko, Lids, Wells, Merrett, Montagna (Phillips, Cox)
7 trades left. At that stage where I could do one more luxury upgrade or just hold. If anyone could share their thoughts of what they'd do, I'd be very greatful. Thanks
U can't afford luxury trades with 7 left. Hold.
Robbie Gray to Pendlebury would be a valid trade. Your team looks great!
Definately hold, team looks great and you have some backup. now wait for trouble.
Trade in treloar or Sloane this week or Neale next week after his bye?? (Will have petracca play this week if I get Neale next week)
i read the comments.. "Kerridge to X & Libba to Y..
Wouldn't it be a better option to keep as many players on the field this week (22 ideally) so your best 18 scores as high as possible?*
* assuming an overall contender
What about blowing everyone away with the Wells and Barlow trade this week to secure 2 extra 100's for rd 15?
Struggling to decide who to get rid of between Kerridge and Tippa
Kerridge probably will score more
but tippa allows me to have freedom by swinging suckling between my defence and forward
which one should i get rid of?
Get rid of both
6 TRADES help would be appreciated
DEF-Laird,Shaw,Pittard,KK,Simpson,Docherty,(COLLINS,BRAND)
MID-Ablett,R Gray,Pendlebury,Danger,Hannebery,Ward,Neale,Sloane,(Jansen,Trengove,Stewart)
RUCK-Gawn,Blicavs(Cox)
FWD-Martin,Zorko,Franklin,Wingard,Kerridge,Petracca,(Kommer,Grimley)
HELP NEEDED
Broad likely to play this week?
Guys need some help with my team. I've already done two trades, going Davis to Phillips and Kerridge to Lids. Need help with the third trade. Don't want to get rid of wright at the moment because he will still rise in price. Some help would be great cheers.
Def: Shaw, Laird, Simpson, Rich, Rance, Collins (Hipwood, Ruggles)
Mid: Danger, Parker, Selwood, Libba, Neale, Sam Mitchell, Pendlebury, Ablett (Snadden, Phillips, Mathiseon)
Ruck: Gawn, Goldy (Grimley)

Hi have 10 trades left thinking of getting rid of Kerridge, Barlow & Davis for Phillips, Sloane & Delidio do they sound like good options or is their something better out there that I maybe missing.
I've done Kerridge to Deledio and Davis to Phillips too. They seem to be really good options. The Barlow to Sloane trade also sounds good as Sloane is a POD.
arousing stuff. nice trades
Another cat amongst the pigeons.. Maric returns (514K) B/E is 208, projected to lose -$50k this round. Could be an awesome inclusion in 2-3 weeks. Any ideas or thoughts?
any one i can get for 491 in fwd other then Montangna
Eddie Betts
Jack Riewoldt
Tex Walker
Shane Edwards (Maric back)
Buddy
Tim Membrey
Tom Lynch – Suns
Kennedy
JJK, Put the VC on him, instant gratification for tonight. Bang bang welcome.
Great write up Barron!
Community thought on these trades…
Barlow to Pend (via Dusty Dpp)
Davis to Treloar
Kerridge to Merret
Leaving me with a nice 20 on field
Leaving me with full premo… including the stinkers rich and smith in D
I'm holding Barlow for now.
Trades are B.Smith to Doch
Libba to Treloar and Kedge to Skinner (def/fwd).
Will flip Sucklingpig down fwd next week and use Barlow to loop Suckers and Petracca and Skinner in def to loop Rug and Collins until Barlows back or I move him on.
Thoughts.
Ueber is cheaper than Skinner. Would not drop Kedge during bye round, wait til you don't need his score. At 127 BE Treloar is not going to run away from you.
Na tash can't loop with Collins.
Bris got heapsa late games.
Kedge gone.
Jump on Silvagni?
no
Decided to escape to Phuket to see out the bye rounds with total focus. Working a treat, although just tried a shark move (more a bomb really) on a Japanese tourist…. Works better in SC!! Good luck to all, another great read BVC.
Still thinking about trading Wingard out for Montagna. I have 13 trades left and plan to go into finals with seven (this trade would leave me with six).
So how many players do we have playing this week?
I should have 20 with tucker to be traded.
19
Bloody 17.
Unless I pull Higgos danger maneuver
loaded up with 20 this week before trades. hoping for a big week.
Only trade will be to bring in Phillips, not sure which of the rookies to get culled though. petracca, Trengove, Menadue, McGovern, Lee or Gresham?
Went a week early on Phillips Derek thought he's js was pretty good so tucker to Doch this week. Lee was named for saints.
18
Having a tough one this week. Struggling to field more than 16 blokes.
DEF: SHAW, Simpson, BARTEL, GIBSON, Laird, Adams, (COLLINS, BRAND)
MID:Pendles, Gaz, DANGER, SELWOOD, Gray, Steven, Libba, Trengove, (WARD, STEWART, MATHIESON)
RUCK: Gawn, GOLDY, (Loersch)
FWD: Joey, Kerridge, Hall, Wingard, Petracca, ZORKO, (BARLOW, WYATT)
Wanting to prioritise Phillips this week so Barlow will probably get the chop for him. That gives me 16 players. This is where I hit the roadblock. I cant justify trading players like Libba, Kerridge or Adams, because they are all playing this week. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated community.
Sitting on 12 trades with 129k as well.
Start with Barlow to Phillips, then Brand to McVeigh and maybe one more depends on how much cash your holding & how many trades left
Mathieson to ??
Im probably going to jump on Docherty instead of McVeigh. Would still have 190k after these two trades and I could potentially trade Libba to Hanners or Kerridge to Dusty.
Stewart to Philips and then Barlow to Merret me thinks
Gonna go with Brand over Stewart purely based off my assumption that Brand will be out next week
vc on jjk into ablett
OR
vc ablett into pendles
if you have JJK you have to VC on him, this is why you have him in your team isn't it?
Menadue
VC Ablett into C Sloane
Dusty into Gaz
Montagna or Merret for Barlow?
Anyone have news on Mitch Robinson?
Nathan Broad or Jack Silvagni? Taking into consideration job security and possible scoring output.
Broad. No idea what Silvagni's scoring output will be
