Isn't it the other way around? I thought the Dogs played last.

Don't Blush Baby · 26/07/2016 at 19:36
Correct 2.40pm AWST,4.40pm AEST, still good though

The Ranger · 26/07/2016 at 21:40
I've been looking at Rd.23 and wondering how I can get Steven into my side for his game against the Lions at Etihad.

Northernsoul74 · 26/07/2016 at 19:01
Yeah will become Dahl when his price comes down in a week or 2. Dahl will play this Friday.

SCaddict · 26/07/2016 at 23:04
I offloaded Hall for Buddy last week. Already owned Zorko, Zerrett, Dusty and Monty so it was just a case of picking my poison on a key forward so went with Buddy.
Didn't want to wait around for Dahl as the Supercoach rounds are disappearing fast and he could always break down again. However if he can play the last 5 h&a games he should be a very good replacement for Hall.

SoothSayer · 27/07/2016 at 10:02
I have Deledio also, and 2 trades left. I am thinking of bringing in Gunston this week for Deledio and then let Dahl get past his ~200-ish break even to drop into my price range in a week. Then, the supercoach gods will tear me apart with uncoverable injuries……….

Daz · 26/07/2016 at 18:06
Go N. Reiwoltd otherwise of the 3 I would go buddy

Hubba · 26/07/2016 at 22:57
Gunston any day .

jezzahill · 27/07/2016 at 10:57
Gunston has been the most consistent of the three you've mentioned, Pinidu. I've had him since Rd 3 and he's been terrific for the most part.

Jimmy · 27/07/2016 at 14:02
Well putting in Dalhaus now would be silly because he will likely drop $50k after this week. Also you dont know how his form is going to be like. Depends where you are ranked in your league, but id wait a week and see how he goes this week and just start Petracca. For this week id suggest downgrade Collins if you feel like u need to do something. You could put in Whitecross who is going to go up in price this week but if you dont need the cash and trades are more important, i wouldnt do a thing. You will be able to do a straight swap dallhaus to hall in a weeks time. Also you will also get to see how Menegola goes for the cats. I think overall just wait a week.

Dean · 27/07/2016 at 20:19
Nice team mate, get rid of Trengove and bring in Menegola then trade Hall to GUNston.
HOLD Petracca as your MID/FWD cover through Phillips.

Cameron · 26/07/2016 at 18:52
Selwood

Lachy · 27/07/2016 at 14:22
Neale

Ben · 26/07/2016 at 18:42
I am if that helps

killereel · 27/07/2016 at 09:15
Lynch is on fire .if he could only kick straighter .big scores to come 150 plus predictions.lids gotta go 2/3 weeks out

jezzahill · 27/07/2016 at 10:59
It's not risky, but given his BE this week you will be locking in a monetary loss over the people who wait a couple of weeks to pick him up. I would go Buddy/Gunston this week and look at Dahlhaus in a week or two

rick · 26/07/2016 at 22:52
bartel said in an interview after Crows game he is fresh after his rest and ready to go for rest of season. Should be no problems there mate!

simmo · 26/07/2016 at 20:43
absolutely Enright….easy run home, on fire and team pushing for top 2

MrsAmudala · 26/07/2016 at 20:50
Awesome. Thanks tor the tip. Any thoughts on forwards?

MrsAmudala · 26/07/2016 at 20:55
I currently have…
Martin
Merrett
Zorko
Greene
Wells
Kennedy
Milera
Reid (GWS)

Hubba · 26/07/2016 at 22:58
Gunston

killereel · 27/07/2016 at 05:04
Lynch on fire .he will be top 5 scoring FWD for next 4 rounds ..A Moral ..even without Jr and hall getting good ball ..

Leeds17 · 26/07/2016 at 19:19
Because opposition have them too? because they'll turn their scoring around you'd think.

Davo · 26/07/2016 at 19:35
Absolutely Brilliant!

Steeeve · 26/07/2016 at 19:43
I'm gonna say you probably could. Fair chance Hammers and Goldy outscore Bont and Martin from here on. Even if they don't, the difference will not be worth those trades.

Clarky99 · 27/07/2016 at 13:54
Pretty stupid trades imo. 2 of the better premos in their positions and very likely to outscore Bont and Martin.

Hubba · 26/07/2016 at 23:00
Trade to go full premo. Hall has to go . Petracca won't ton up every week

Stevo · 27/07/2016 at 07:12
Thanks Hubba.
How does Hall & Deledio to Simpson & Gunston sound? Would out Collins D7, but have Petraca at F6 with 2 trades left.

Hubba · 26/07/2016 at 23:03
Trade . No good keeping him . We've seen the fl and about to see the turn . Go all- in.

killereel · 27/07/2016 at 05:06
T Lynch (Suns)

Steeeve · 27/07/2016 at 10:59
Yeah I like that. Problem is my main competition in one league already has him. So could nullify him by getting the same bloke but where's the fun in that? He also has Joey Montagna.
So if I want a POD I could get Buddy or JJK but don't love either of their runs home. Buddy for instance has Rance round 23.

I N Pieman · 26/07/2016 at 20:44
Rich. The bombers didn't send someone to rich. Which is tanking. Normally the opposition runner hanging around him would be enough for him to hoist the white flag & call it a day

simmo · 26/07/2016 at 21:05
your right

Derek · 27/07/2016 at 09:12
I have to deal with Delidio this week, Rich is saved for another week.

Ben · 26/07/2016 at 20:49
Yeo

The Ranger · 26/07/2016 at 22:20
If you haven't got Hall, Lids or any other problems to deal with I'd get Sloane.
Crows have a great run home.

jezzahill · 27/07/2016 at 10:53
If you have absolutely no other problems (ie: Hall, Deledio, McVeigh, etc.) then go for it!

TRIGGER HAPPY · 27/07/2016 at 11:49
What's the latest on McVeigh?
Holding at the moment unless someone knows more?

hedski · 26/07/2016 at 23:45
PS. 1 trade. HALL.
HOLD/BANG BANG??

TRIGGER HAPPY · 27/07/2016 at 09:17
Deck the hall hedski

hedski · 27/07/2016 at 09:53
Jeez I wanna trigger but I know as soon as I do someone else will go down and hall will come back in finals and pump out a 130.

The Ranger · 27/07/2016 at 11:31
All the while he's a chance to play again you've gotta hold Hedski.

TRIGGER HAPPY · 27/07/2016 at 11:47
If you got cover hedski logic says hold but i just liked the deck the hall pun 🙂

hedski · 27/07/2016 at 11:56
Ha ha. Yeah got cover, says he's 1 to 2 weeks away so hopefully back sooner rather than later.

jezzahill · 27/07/2016 at 10:38
I reckon you have to hold if you have cover. Need that last trade for injury

Leeds17 · 27/07/2016 at 05:59
Hmm I dont think you can wrong with either, I lean towards Sloan just because 3 of next 4 at home where he averages a touch under 120 this season and one away at Domain where he actually averages more i think over his career, dont quote me on that though.

Redgumwon · 27/07/2016 at 07:48
Sloane is a big chance to go huge against Essendon this week, then Brisbane and the week after that against Fremantle. Last two games against Port & West Coast who he should get a handy score against. I'd go with the Sloane Ranger

Steeeve · 27/07/2016 at 11:00
I'm getting Sloane but next week. If you can bring him in now he could explode.

Redgumwon · 27/07/2016 at 07:40
It sure does look like Dahl is back. His knee was heavily strapped at training from the TV footage. Not to mention he hasn't played for so long. His fitness base won't be what it was? I'd like to see how he goes this week and maybe the week after before bringing him in. Trades for most are down and no one wants to trade in a player not 100% at this time of year

Steeeve · 27/07/2016 at 11:01
Hoping he drops enough I can get him at M9/F7. Then will put him in the forward line and use someone else for cover/loophole.
Want to upgrade Jack Trengove to him but if Trengove doesn't get another game that might require a downgrade (Silvagni to non-playing rook).

The Ranger · 27/07/2016 at 11:27
I think I'll be going Lids to Dahl next week. Got Hall too but he seems like a chance to play the last three weeks.
Lycett and Petracca will be onfield for me again this week, hopefully they can ton up again!

killereel · 27/07/2016 at 11:24
Reckon crouching has a Supercoach visa card to use at bunderberg distilleries, contractual perks…ah Wehcome….!

Derek · 27/07/2016 at 09:09
When will Smurph be back?

TRIGGER HAPPY · 27/07/2016 at 09:19
Injury list has him listed as 1 week.

TRIGGER HAPPY · 27/07/2016 at 09:27
Doesn't help that shaw, hanners and goldy keep sending the bank balance south.
C'mon lads you are considered a premo for a reason. Show us why.
I reckon to be over $14M you would have to have a few pods whose price is heading north.

killereel · 27/07/2016 at 09:33
100%

TRIGGER HAPPY · 27/07/2016 at 09:42
This is probably the reason no one in the top 100 have a $14M balance as most would have some if not all of these guys.

Mack · 27/07/2016 at 09:40
The leader Raj is pretty close to it at $13.924M although he may end up getting for using illegal performance enhancing practices. 🙂

Phil · 27/07/2016 at 09:40
*getting busted

Steeeve · 27/07/2016 at 11:03
I'm on $13mil but have $300k in the kitty for final upgrades. Tough year for building bank.

Moustachio · 27/07/2016 at 11:33
Bear in mind there is some deflation over course of season, in round 1 an average of 100 was worth well over $500k, now it is under. So in round 1 dollars I guess there are people at $14m+ =p

Phil · 27/07/2016 at 11:16
Plenty of high profile Supercoaches are lending Raj their support on Twitter. They're obviously oblivious of the rules as he is. But I reckon it's pretty black and white that you can only claim prize money if you submit and control just one team. If the HeraldSun turn a blind eye here it will be setting a dangerous precedent. It will then be open season for all coaches to create numerous teams all linked to different email accounts next year which would undermine the integrity of the competition imho. It would certainly be unfair to those of us who abide by the rules.

killereel · 27/07/2016 at 11:26
Forensic accountants needed .criminal almost man ..ffs

I N Pieman · 27/07/2016 at 11:31
If your a top 1% player with 3 teams then one at least will be there abouts. That makes it unfair. Don't think the HS has a choice Phil they could face legal problems

Steve · 27/07/2016 at 11:54
Some of those guys backing him in may have secret multiple teams too. Could even be in the running for top 10 prize money who would know. They're just not stupid enough to broadcast the fact on Twitter.

I N Pieman · 27/07/2016 at 12:01
Broadcasting his teams on Twitter will be a mistake he regrets for a long time Steve

Phil · 27/07/2016 at 13:31
Precisely ha ha! They're probably praying like the current leader that this shitstorm just blows over and there isn't a competition wide audit where more "multi" teams are discovered. Hoping we'll all just forget about it and move on with our mundane lives. But we're not playing for tiddlywinks here. $50,000 is a very tidy sum for your average Joe or Joette. So I for one will be watching very careful what the competition organisers do here.

Dave · 27/07/2016 at 13:57
Perhaps they should just abandon this one team rule entirely if they aren't going to enforce it?? It's too hard to police like PEDs so may as well just allow us enter as many times as we like. It will certainly spike the number of entries which have been declining in recent years.

Steve · 27/07/2016 at 14:20
Not sure that's the solution Dave. For then only those who are the most hardcore will bother setting up dozens of teams. The rest of us who actually have lives outside SuperCoach who can only be bothered managing one side will be at a severe disadvantage.
Jokes aside those supporting Raj are probably doing so out of mateship as he's fairly well known in the SuperCoach fraternity. They just haven't fully considered the ramifications in backing that position. Essentially it boils down a principle of fairness not just one individual but for everyone participating in the comp.

Steve · 27/07/2016 at 11:28
Yeah I'd love to enter multiple teams. Just like getting a bunch of free lotto tickets with a $50K jackpot. One could be pure guns and rookies, another one mid priced madness and others with some speculative PODs. I'm sure at least one of them could be a top 100 contender.

Phil · 27/07/2016 at 11:36
Yep the fact that you are only meant to have one team means that you have to mitigate risks and go with a lot of safe and popular options as you don't want to bork your only side. But if I could enter say a dozen teams then I can throw that caution out the door and pick a bunch of players that most coaches wouldn't have the plums to select and they could always come off and send me rocketing up the top of the rankings.

Steve · 27/07/2016 at 11:40
That's right and then you can just abandon all those teams that crash and burn early and focus on the sides that are doing really well lol!

I N Pieman · 27/07/2016 at 11:46
Correct lads. You could throw up different structures & just play the ones that work. Only fair way is one team & accept the consequences of risk if you take them

I N Pieman · 27/07/2016 at 11:14
Round 23 rick. Last round of the season this year

Phil · 27/07/2016 at 11:20
Last season it was round 22 but this year it's back to round 23.

I N Pieman · 27/07/2016 at 12:37
I'd hold the trade & use it on a premo that falls over

Community Member · 27/07/2016 at 13:40
Bells E Bubb by name…

jockreynolds · 27/07/2016 at 14:52
I reckon it's a good thing Bells – could be a bloody good thing for the game in the long run as well. I know down at the local Auskick there have been a shitload of little girls rocking up to have a crack. A good thing in my book mate

NEIL · 27/07/2016 at 15:39
couldn't agree more Jock am looking so forward to the dees winning something go DAISY GO

Derek · 27/07/2016 at 15:44
Does Ellyse Perry play AFL . 🙂

NEIL · 27/07/2016 at 18:09
I think she plays soccer and cricket for oz

Bells E Bubb · 27/07/2016 at 18:21
Oh I agree it's a good thing – and yes good for the game too. I just don't need to read about it at all. It's going to be a participation sport. No way it's professional or even semi pro sport.

Chill · 27/07/2016 at 13:44
Gunston. Lock him in. Save that last trade.

Derek · 27/07/2016 at 14:10
At this stage you don't bring in a player as bench cover. Just hold trade to cover injury.
Bench players are usually players you got early who get shuffled along to the bench as premiums come in.
Team looks good. Hold for now. I have a feeling there is still a big name injury to come this year

matt · 27/07/2016 at 14:43
thanks derek,
having my best year this year after failing late last 4 years haha..
unfamiliar position…
rocky has played 3 in a row so he might be due for an injury ..ha.
can i make a trade half way through a round?

Derek · 27/07/2016 at 14:54
trades can be made right up to the bounce of each game

Dave · 27/07/2016 at 14:45
I'm sure there will be many more than 1 over the next 5 weeks. Either they will suffer a season ending injury, potentially rested if they are an ageing star particularly on an interstate trips like Bartel a few weeks ago, or even get a fairly minor injury in a non contending team where the club then decides to put that player on ice or go in early for surgery so that they are in tiptop shape and ready to go for a big preseason.

Derek · 27/07/2016 at 15:41
trade Hall to ZMerret

Tommo09 · 27/07/2016 at 15:46
So I leave Petracca as cover instead of loopholing the forwards?
I can loophole with Petracca but he isn't reliable
Merrett is a bit pricey too

Derek · 27/07/2016 at 16:03
Can you do in one trade? hall to merret

Tommo09 · 27/07/2016 at 16:09
Yep
I don't like Merrett though
I'm thinking Dahl

Clarky99 · 27/07/2016 at 15:47
Hall won't be back until semi finals, not worth holding. Those forwards are normally pretty reliable, so don't loophole if you don't think Tracca is good enough to loophole.

Tommo09 · 27/07/2016 at 15:51
I may hold Hall this week and play Petracca
Get Dahlhaus next week

Hubba · 27/07/2016 at 23:43
Will be plenty of rookie cash cows like the good old days of gws and gold coasts' first season

jockreynolds · 28/07/2016 at 10:01
Gday there Trigger,
The saddest thing about this whole affair has been the absolute unacceptable level of abuse Raj has copped online. It makes me very sad mate, and I've been very conscious of not inflaming the situation by drawing more attention to it.
It does look as if he has a few teams. And he won't be eligible for prizes. That's all.
Above all else – I'm feeling for Raj. We need to support a mate in a time of need.

Dave · 27/07/2016 at 16:16
I think Cameron said today that he expects Mummy to train later in the week and play this weekend so i wouldn't stress out about it too much. Giants play first thing Saturday so even if he's a late out you will still have time to make moves should you still wish too.

jockreynolds · 28/07/2016 at 09:57
cheers Matt! Glad you enjoyed it mate
