Still cleaning the skid marks off your jocks after the pre game Daniel Wells drama on Friday night? I know of one poor bloke who traded him out as the drama unfolded, only to hit the bar and find out he was playing after the game had kicked off. Poor prick!

How good is it to have your full team back? It was a welcome relief … until my ruck line was decimated with injuries again. With Preuss suspended and both Gawn and now English out Read more…

Vc on Pendles last night. No good. Arise Sir Danger!
Wells earnt himself some free passes with me last night. Gets a lot of shit about being injury prone and soft. 29 touches when you can't breathe properly is a huge effort
Wells did good. But he will be the talk of the week if he will play next week
Tossing up between Markov & Naismith
Given Goldy looks 'sore' & likely to miss a game before end of season is Naismith worth it?
Well the Supercoach gods have destroyed my forward line this week. At the moment it is
Dusty, Zorko, Montagna, Deledio, Dahlhaus, Hall (Menadue, Naismith)
1 trade, $80k in the bank
Knowing my luck, the player I use the trade on will get injured as well
Thoughts?
Vc'd Treloar last night so the C stays firmly on Patrick tonight.
Vc'd Pendles last night. 115 doesn't cut it. I am going to take a punt and whack the C on Tom Rockliff this week. Got a feeling he could go absolutely massive after his ego has been bruised. I AM NOT FAT!!! I'LL SHOW YOU PRICKS.
LOL Good luck with dangermouse. He will do the business as always. Cheers
Are you still gonna bring danger back in or have you already?
Still havent got him back. Might not be able to get him again now with all the recent injuries. Only have one trade left and 50 odd K. Right now I am not sure whether to be happy or sad about not having him. There are rumours he may spend time forward as he is carrying a slight niggle. That said, one thing is for sure, my season is seriously on the line here and trading out Danger will make or break me. Time will tell. Good luck mate!
So community, I have loopholed ziebell and he landed an 85, should I roll the dice with clay Smith,or take the 85 and move on?
Thanks!
Bank the 85 mate. Anything can happen with Clay Smith. Not worth the risk for a few extra points.
Yes, at best he may only produce a 90.. banked!
Cheers
Hall out – back Petracca or trade (5 trades left)?
VC on Lachine Neale C on Danger or VC on Gawn C on Rockliff – thoughts?
Is Naismith worth getting? Tippet out 5 weeks and place on long injury list?
Hi guys,
Well it's amazing what can happen in just a few short weeks… Team was all set and I had just about a comfortable number of trades left for Finals… Fast forward to this week and I'm left with 3 trades due to numerous injuries, and staring at 2 donuts in my Forwards… :'(
Need some help guys, with Barlow, Hall and Menadue (one of my bench cover players) out, was thinking of these trade combos…
$14,900 left in the kitty (prior to trades)
Option 1:
Barlow – Franklin
Hall – NRiewoldt (via Menadue DPP)
Option 2:
Barlow – ZMerrett
Do nothing with Hall, save the extra trade, cop a donut
Playing for leagues at this point on, even though I've stayed in the top 1% overall despite all this pain for the last few weeks.
Will throw in one more option…
Option 3:
Barlow – Franklin
Hall – Gunston
I like Option 3. Buddy could go big, Gunston very consistent
Hall and Deledio to
Option 1: Zerrett and Lycett with 3000 left.
Option 2: Franklin and Lycett which leaves me enough to bring in Dahlhaus for Petracca when his price drops in a few weeks.
Option 3: Hall to Franklin only and keep 5 trades and hope for best with Deledio. Has there been any word on Deledio other than TBC?
Real concerns about Goldy.
I think trade Deledio out with Hall. Sometimes we get players or hold players for to long because of their past reputations. I brought in Deledio at top dollar and to be honest he hasn't pro formed this year like other years. To be brutally honest there are better preforming options out there than Deledio this year. If you have the trades then. bring in Merrett for Deledio. I sure wish I went for Merrett when he was cheaper than Deledio
VC Gawn into Danger C
or
VC Danger into Zorko C
Welcome Jack Gunston
Thinking of Tom Lynch GC for hall, or is it buddy or roo…??
already have montagna, hanners & parker
One spot left, Libba for JK or Sloane? Looking @ SuperCoach finals run? Already have Parker & Hannerbury . Can Sloane handle the tag ? Particularly round 20 against Robinson (lions) ?
Going danger into Rocky
Same here mate. Rocky could go right off tomorrow
Going Danger into Dusty. Hawks don't tag, look what Ablett did against Hawks a month ago.
VC Neale into Danger or VC Danger into Rocky ??? Help
Or even Neale into Rocky but last times I didn't use Danger he scored like 230 followed by like 170 so yeah
Rocky or Zerrett Captain ?
Already used vc on Pendles and 115 doesn't cut it.
Rockie……………………………………..
…………………or Danger
I like Hall to Jenkins
Crows have a easy run home.
Can't believe I spent so much time studying who to bring in for A. Hall only to realise he had already started playing! #donuts
Only went Hall to Naismith I put Naismith on the pine as an emg hope he gets close to or over 90pts so then I wont trade Patracca to Merrett this week and save a trade.
Time to go hanners you are shit
The match up of the season. Jock vs Pieman! Always goes down to the wire
Not to be a pain Dan, but where is that blistering early season form that we loved so much?
Trade that trash out to jpk next week like me. Jpk always ends the season strong.
I put the VC on JPK. Awkward score to take. I think I will
even if i had trades i wouldnt
I can't watch Carlton games anymore. I don't have either Simpson or Docherty.
On the topic of Hanners, just know that you dont score 100+ 11 games in a row by luck. He's a premium and he's going to continue being a premium.
Since Tippett went down his scores have been trash. Not sure if coincidence or not but its getting hard to ignore.
Take Ryan Davis 82 or play Liberatore?
Play Libber mate.
I took Davis score and I put Libba on the bench!
I should have done the same.
Priddis going off at the moment – on 71pts 5mins into 2nd qtr thanks to 10 disposals, 9 (!) tackles, 1 goal.
Most people have him but good luck to them who put the VC on him
Only 23% mate so there's still 77% that don't, wouldn't call that most…
That's 23% of all owners. 90% of the top 1% would own him.
I think that's what Derek meant.
Starts strong a lot lately
Who's taking Collins 78 rather then play Rich against Essendon? Tough call.
I'm a strong chance to set some kind of record.
On track to finish with the most points scored and highest ranking in my main league……. but miss the finals due to not winning enough H2H matches.
wow bl man
care to define what your projection is? And post your team mate?
Pieman do you have Collins mate? I have Rich also and am contemplating taking Collins 78, its a tough call because they are playing Essendon, if it was any other side I wouldn't be thinking about it.
Rich has a high score of 102 and a low score of 78 against Essendon at ES…
His high is only 14 points higher then Collins, bloody tough call.
Take 78 from Collins or punt on Savage?
Are you new to SC mate? As soon as the round has started and once you trade there is no turning back.
You can check SC scores on Fanfooty for free.
… and the noobness is now immortalised 😀
Who reckons scores higher Rocky or Danger? I think Rock might go off tomorrow?
Rock off with your socks off mate
sd
What a week and it's not even Saturday night yet
Had lids and hall with only 2 trades and no cover, traded lids to Merrett and will be coping the donut for hall as I'm only going for league wins so I said I will try beat his bench cover with 1 less player
Then the wells carnage happened and lucky I was at work and didn't have time to try and look at the trade button, which was blessing in disguise
Then the magic happened Friday night and today (so far)
Wells Pendles doc Simpson Parker Cripps Priddas Neale all hitting the 100 easily, goldy was a little below and Gawn is still in play and best of all it looks like I'll win my league games with 1 less player which is always nice
Here's to a successful Saturday night and Sunday *rasies beer*
gotta love it when it all works out huh?
C on Danger or Jelwood guys???
Will score similar I reckon, stay on Danger in case he goes mental
Maxy Gawn scored 131 pre-scaling, do I take that or stick with Danger as C?
Take Danger
I took gawn
I traded hall for Naismith banked 310k but I played Patracca instead of Naismith looks like Patracca will scale over 100 very risky but paid off also had Gawn as vc do I take it or leave it the c on danger???
Collins 78 vs Ruggles?
Collins
After watching Goldy last night i decided to trade in Lycett. 118 prescale cant complain
I don't have Goldy, but I reckon grabbing Lycett will hopefully get you forward flexibility with all the injuries on that line.
Who is your other ruckman?
Gawn. Hopefully will be able to go petracca to dahlhaus in a few weeks which will make lycett f7/r3.
I picked up Lycett as my F7 last week, bloody happy I did with Hall and Lids out!
Dahlhaus will be risky first up surely? Might take a week or two to find his feet.
Yeah, will wait a couple of weeks
Trading out Brodie Smith instead of Rich a few weeks back has hurt me. If Rich does shit I would be tempted to go Rich to Brodie but probs wont because it is a waste of my trade.
And Smith goes HUGE when you pi$$ him off.
Danger is an absolute deplorable piece of shit!
Big call that.
Surely the majority of teams in contention have him? And a lot will have the C on him. I have the VC on him and will be hoping Rocky can go large tomorrow.
Thoughts on trading out hanners for an in form premo such as steven or selwood with 6 trades left?
Brave move. The SC Gods would probably injure whoever you brought in. They're like that.
Would do it for sure with 6.
What's
What's par this week ?
Looking at around 2400.
Sam Menegola is officially on my watch list for 2016-17 season. He has made a real impact tonight. Good stuff!
Patrick Dangerfield with 111 has blown this comp wide open!
Got tracca's 100 as an E in my fwd line.
Think i will put the chad on the pine as playing gws and take traccas banked 100?
I sure would.
Same here Trigger.
But I am going to bench "hit or miss" Toby Greene. A solid ton versus a "who knows what" seems like a lock.
Now we just keep our fingers crossed as Wingard and Greene kick 7 goals each tomorrow 🙂
I took a risk and started him for Hall.
Poor bulldogs, not good with Wallis broken ankle, Redpath looks like he needs a knee reco and Morris Quad injury.
It's been a very tough night.
bulldogs must find positives.Boyd andSmith good.Need the whole list to lift particularly Boyd.many will support them and saints
Keep deleido or trade to zac merrett.
Just have enough cash to make the trade.
4+ trades then do it
Yes. I'm $6k short. If had cash I would have done
What does everyone thing par will be this week 2350?
I was looking good until last nights games. Currently 1509/15 with Rocky C. Laird, Montagna, Sloane and Ruggles let me down
Had vc on Danger and he didnt score high enough to take it. My options for captain are Dusty, Zorko, Gray, Shaw, Ward. I barrak for Hawthorn so do not feel right putting captain on Dust but may do it anyway. Any of the other players are valid just looking for others opinions.
Thanks in advance community
I am thinking about Ward and Merrett
Same dilemma Flying Hawk. Currently have the C on Merrett but tossing up between him and Zorko. My opponents had the C on Danger. Need Merrett to go big to eliminate the stench of failure created by Yeo, Laird, Montagna and Sloane to get me over the line.
there is a slight chance that the lions put Robbo on Merrett instead of Zaha. If they don't then Merrett will go 120+ easily. But I'll be going with Rocky.
Currently 1771/17 with Rocky (C), Zorko, Ward, Dusty and Shaw to come
Laird, Franklin, Hannebery and Goldy let me down this week
What am I looking at community?
About par I think
Anyone have eyes on Libba last night? Numbers were down (only the 1 clearance, 3 tackles) Tagged? Looked sore?
Will drop to around 425k now
Lucky I started him on the pine had that feeling he might go low.
Have Dunkley's 99 on the bench
i've played footy with bruised ribs before, doesn't inspire you to barge into contests.
Said it before the game, came back too soon
Def brought him back too early.
Luckily I traded him out for Rockliff
Merrett, Zorko, Dusty or Ward as C. Need someone to go big to cover the stench of failure (it won't come off) and caused by Yeo, Laird, Montagna and Sloane. Thoughts!!!
I was going to ask exact same question.
Zerret- will robbo tag him or zaka?
Ward- got 137 against power in rd 4
Dusty- got 115 against Hawks in rd 7
Zorko- my heart is telling me to give him the C, but my head isn't! Haha. Please pursuade me!
I have vc on Danger and my opponent has Mitchell as cAptain who plays his 300th. What to do?!
In the same boat, tough choice but we do have some good options available I think Merrett will cop the robbo tag. I'm a tiger fan but cannot go dusty against the Hawks. For me tossing up between Ward, Zorko & Gray. Good luck.
I have VC on JPK 127.
Considering either HShaw or Rocky as C
Take it JPK
Would probably play it safe and double up on JPK. Rocky SHOULD go huge as he's one angry little vegemite right now but still not sure I'd take the risk over JPK's fairly healthy 127.
Heater has been ice cold lately (hasn't tonned up since Rd13) so I would avoid that one although if he goes 150 plus today I'm sure you'll tell me about it ha ha.
JPK was on 128 before scaling. Thought he would have got more. Awkward score.
I went with C on Rocky
Paying off nicely!
Take it Derek I took Gawns 128.
Thanks for all the responses. Definitely a tough call. On current form, Merrett has been more consistent, Zorko been very solid without being spectacular. Dusty could go big as Hawthorn does not employ a tagger. Ward scored well last week against Brisbane and his Round 4 score was at home. I think I will stick with Merrett and hope it is an open game under the roof. Good luck.
1677 from 14, think its about par so far this week
Take petraccas score of 101 or go with Greene?
Take it
Take that every day of the week.
VC is on Gawn Scaled down to 128… I should just take it but Zorko very tempting, SC Gods will punish me i think.
Take it
Take it, he's only scored higher than 128 twice
I took it
I understand why people have concerns about the SC scoring system:
Although I have Ben Keays, he's had 3 posessions to qtr time ( 1K, 2H , no scores), yet somehow has 21 SC points. Go figure!
4 tackles helps
Neale had over 4 touches & 1 goal yesterday and only scores 109? If it were Pendles or GAJ that's be 150+ points.
Rocky has come out like a raging bull in the first quarter! 11 disposals, (9 kicks, 2 hand passes), 3 marks, 1 free for, 3 tackles, and a goal. If you dont mind!! Rocky does like being called FAT. Hope he can keep going.
And only 46 Supercoach…
And is continuing it in the second term. Pretty chuffed that I have the C on him.
You are not wrong there mate. How many SC points is he on at half time?
80
Ward, Gray, Shaw or Dusty as captain. Leading towards Ward right now and spewing I didnt chuck it on stefan took it off him last second!
C on Rocky. Pretty happy with his 100ish at half time.
Is rocky getting robbed hard or what?
Stef having a day out, 125 at 3QT
Need 36 points from Hampson in the second half to win my league game.
Now 2192/19 with Dusty, Ward and Shaw to come
Happy so far but I have realised it could go downhill in just one game
I knew it
Shaw spudding up
Dusty has stopped
WTF is up with Shaw 4 @ qrt time?
He is costing me a big score
He is not costing you anything, everyone has him
No I was looking at 2550+ but now I will b lucky to get 2500
He's got a lot of the ball, he's just having a hard time adjusting to the wind, hence why his DE is so low.
I'm pretty sure that all of my opponents had S.Martin and Rockliff. Meanwhile i had the blistering combination of Goldstein and Hannebery. Looking at another score below par and its the same story every week, 4-5 premiums are under performing and its costing me.
Same boat, tux. Was absolutely flying until today. Some big scores came from the Lions and Hawks game and I had none of them. Not my first Sunday failure!
Been out all day and just logged on and have got my best year to date score with 2433 at 3/4 time in the PA V GWS game. Have Shaw and Ward playing so I might hopefully be able to jag 2500. What's everyone else looking at and what do you think is a par score this round?
2448 with the same players
We both need Shaw in particular to pull his finger out of we are to crack the 2500. Looks likes it's going to be a pretty high scoring round for most teams.
2475 with Ward as captain I guess I will take it. Is his above par or not?
I'm guessing there's some big scores out there?
I managed 2543 with Danger as C.
2566 here with Zerrett as C. Wish I went Rocky but I'll take it, needed a big score.
Great scores
Traded Hall to Docherty this week via Suckling (2 trades left). Managed 2519, so I'm super happy. Second week in a row that I've cracked 2,500.
2486 this week played Patracca & Davis so not to bad.
Still have 6 trades left. What is everybody else score &
how many trades do u all have left?
2337 with a 0 and won my money league game against a fellow top 4 contender, so pretty happy with that
highest score ive seen is 2590 in my other league
6 trades nice. 2477. 200k and 4 trades 4 me.
I don't know how you guys have managed to keep 6 trades, well done. I'm down to two with reasonable cover on every line and still got mid/fwd swing as an extra.
2465 will see me slip a few places I reckon. Saturday night was the killer for me with Sloane, Montagna, Laird and Ruggles. Add Hanners and Goldy as well to that crap.
Same here! 2446 and sloane, laird and joey absolutely stuffed me. Frustrating isnt it?
calm down you lot, 2450+ ain't so bad
2325. Won my league by 4 points. Second week in a row Petracca on the bench has scored better than a mid or forward. Played safe with Danger as captain. Should have gone with Rockliff but hard to risk not Captaining danger. Another failure from Kennedy as a forward. Which I'm guessing means next week he will go mental!!!
I see the overall leader coached by Raj, a JR forum contributor, scored 2527 so will be interesting to see whether he keeps or extends his lead.
$50K is well within his grasp it would seem, at this late stage of the game.
Might be a different Raj
It's our Raj:
https://twitter.com/chandanrajdb
It's not Titans raj
He coaches both teams mate. You'll see he mentions he coaches TITANS in his Twitter feed last year.
Actually I don't think he's eligible for prize money as he coaches at least two different teams that I'm aware of:
[email protected] and
TITANS
What does he post under here? I don't recall any Raj's hanging around… But we can still take credit =p
Only seen him post a few times this season as Chandanraj. Was more prevalent here in previous seasons. He's in a number of the JR community leagues I believe, including one of mine.
Jock should get him on the line for one of the podcasts. Now has over a 100pt lead so is well and truly in pole position.
He was only on in the pre season this year. Has been on multiple years before that
Only two good things about this round – no LTIs for my team, and I didn't have to call on Mitch McGovern to cover any late outs.
Fell roughly 200 points behind my "projected score" at the start of the round.
Congrat's to those who did well this week … I am just feeling a bit of "Sunday saltiness".
Not normally one to complain about scoring but Ollie Wines was hard done by today. Awful efficiency hurt him (40%) but he had 30 posses and almost all were contested. These kicks might not have laced people out but in the pouring rain he got the ball forward out of packs with blokes hanging off him over and over.
Wines is not a proper premo mate. If you've still got him or Wingard at this stage of the caper you relinquish the right to complain lol!
Still planning to trade him out, and move Wingy to F7. Injuries have put those plans on hold but I'll still have the trades.
That said today's game was a classic example of a good performance not translating to a good score.
Yeah you were unlucky Steeeve as Quadzilla was killing it a HT but then Port and young Ollie crapped the bed. Think he only scored about 20pts in the 2nd half.
You just don't want them doing that in week 1 of the SC finals when they play the Swans at the SCG.
Agreed, he had a lot of kicks the last quarter but most would have counted for nil. Can bring in almost anyone for him, will be a tough decision. Jack Steven is very tempting.
Any significant supercoach injuries this week?
Im sure Wells will dominate discussion at some stage
Rockliff rolled one of his cankles and has some niggling stretch marks
Zac Dawson re-ruptured his heartilage….
Lets hope we get rumours of more injuries this week:
Last weeks rumours:
Priddus -"may not play corked knee" = busts out a 140
Martin – "injured no certainly to play will be a late out" = lazy 162
Rockcliff – "over weight too slow" = an angry 154
wells actually was reported as "out of Friday nights game" = tons up
Long live the rumour mill.
Martin never had a injury cloud over him, if he did I didn't hear it.
Just saw your score TopHawk, an absolute whopper!!
I scored 2460 and ranked 2821 for the round, can't imagine where you got.
So what was your round rank Top Hawk ?
2698 was the top score for the week. Would have been some monster scores if Hannebery, Buddy, Sloane, Shaw, Montagna, Boyd and Goldy fired, which I had all of the pricks
Thanks Liam. Pretty stoked with that score. Rocky did us proud today with his 308 points. My round rank was 114th overall and moved from 590 to 295 overall. I am 971 points behind the leader and am probably too far back to win it.
Still, I will be back next week. Anything can happen in this caper. Good luck next week mate!
I did 2,575 for 109th which I was pretty happy with. Took Dangers vice score to be sure of the league wins so missed out on an extra 43 for Rockcliff ( should've been a little more bold)…
What to do with hanners? With such a high be, it might be impossible to straight swap him to a premo after this week. Have 6 trades in the bank. Should I consider moving him on for an in form premo?
I'd hold Hamish, he's got a good run of games coming up.
Hi , scored 2503. Have had such a crap year until this point really struggled to get +2300 consistently . Have been a consistent under 10000 finisher for the last 10 years or so but i won't get there this year . This year i seriously missed the mark starting with too many mid pricers. Just when you think you ķnow this game it gives you something new.
who farted?
Think it's just the smell of Hanners, Joey and Goldie shatting their respective beds.
What do we think the par score was this week? I scored 2344 thanks to a handful of underperforming premiums. I think that skipping on picking up rockliff is going to really hurt me this year.
Hi Tux. Reckon you'd be above par score this week, some big scores but the average for the top 10% was 2,328.
I got lucky with all premos actually doing something this week, taking the punt with Rocky as captain helped. 2,652 and a top 10 finish for the week has given mesomething to salvage out of this year Overall rank is outside the top 500 so no chance there but should get a few league wins unless I get smashed by the SC injury Gods in the finals.
Good luck mate.
