Who to put VC on..rocky or Ablett?
Ablett
Gaj all the way ser
I understand clangers take away points etc etc, but how in the fkn fck can you tell me that Treloar can get 96 off a game like that? Howe and Adams also robbed and then Bont with 8 kicks 120? Gonna be a long year
I was staggered as well BigBoy! Was on the way home from Hoppers Crossing last night feeling pretty bloody pleased with myself with the VC on Treloar.. 96! Ah well
Was feeling the exact same Jock 🙁
Compare Butler's 96 with Treloars,what a friggen joke
Jock think we need an inquiry into our champion data friends this w/end…. not sure if they are trying new software but something has been completely off this weekend…. players are scoring well, then losing 20-30 points to only get it back again at games end… perfect example was Laird today, was 30+ near the end of the first, dropped back to 18 halfway through the second when he had 17 touches, only to finish hte game on 112 with 40+ and then get adjusted to 147.. he isnt the only one… something suggests they have been on the Collingwood party bus….
At one stage he had something like 13 disposals for 27 points. I watched the first half and saw maybe one clanger. Otherwise pretty clean. There were blokes with 5 possessions and 60 points. Can't fathom how they scored that game. Really have doubts over the scoring accuracy.
Same thing just happened with the saints game
How the propeller heads come up with some of these scores has baffled me for years .. it seems that if you are a popular player with the media it is easy to score big, if not you can have 30, kick 3 and lay 5 tackles and yet only get a lowly 70-80 points. On the other hand, players like Cyril get points for going to the interchange bench and some more when he comes back on!!
Haha yes Kenny, watch Cyril score 90 points tonight against Dons for kicking 2 cheap goals and having 0 impact on the win. Whereas players like Treloar trying their guts out all night trying to get the Pies back in it score 90 odd off 33 touches
Sounds good
I somewhat agree, BBB. Seems much more goes into it than effective/ineffective possessions. Would love some transparency. I didn't think Treloar was stand out amazing last year, tough to argue 33p (20 kicks) @72% isn't worthy of at least a ton though
Exactly Kev, hoping for at least some consistency this year or else I may have to resort back to selecting players who Champion Data froth over (Rance, Bont etc)
Agree BigBoy. Standard Champ Data rort.
That's what you get for picking Treloar over Pendles…. Karma is a biatch! 146 VC…. yyeeoooow!!!
Dee is the guy who has one player go good for round 1, then flames out mid year when he's made all his trades to correct the rest of his trash.
🙂
Could be scoring chains? Also there are bonus points for big plays when game is close… Bont always finds himself in position to get these.
I'll start by saying treloar and Adams were mugged by champion data last night :(((
Adams butchered it all night. Trelosr stiff though
Well you can tell who the champion data lads do & don't have in their teams
Feeling the rookie pressure today. Bowes, Simpkin or Florent ? Houston, Eddy or Hannan ? Hibberd, Stewart or Otten ?
taking into account job security and price, with the first 3 I'd go Sympkin over Bowes. With the second 3 Hannan is too unknown for me. Eddy will play almost every week and is rock bottom, Houston might get three weeks tops early on. Of the last 3 take them all if you can however Stewart has best JS followed by Hibberd Otten could be in and out all year
Florent, Hibberd, eddy
In the same boat Gus. I'm leaning towards Simpkin over Florent, as I think he has the better JS even though he might score a little less. I haven't picked Houston (poor JS) or Hannan (no JLT), so I think Eddy would be the safer pick. Hibberd and Stewart both seem reliable options. I'm worried about Otten's spot as a key back, knowing that Lever and Cheney are soon to be back in the next few weeks.
I'm not as worried about Otten's js .. Cheney has had a setback with his recovery so will be a while before he returns and it will be through the SANFL first which should give time for Otten to ripen. Plus he is taller and Cheney often had to stand much bigger opponents last year. Good luck
Have $80k in the bank and pretty happy with my team but…
Do I hold this cash for potential correctives or upgrade Titch to Selwood/Ablett?
Thoughts?
I'd feel pretty good about Titch Pom – I'd hold the nerve I reckon mate
Thanks Jock! Titch has been in since day 1 and he'll remain.
Pendles going large has had the old school premiums in my mind! I just want this round to over so we are fully locked out!
Had a dream M. Crouch scored a 60, Jock. Very relieved this morning. Don't want this happening again. Very nervous.
We'll be right Crabbo!
Selwood 100%.
Titch stays !!!!
Why would you trade a player that scores the same and is cheaper?
Josh Kennedy or Hannebery
I have both. Leaning towards JPK if I had to choose one though big fella.
I think Hanners. Off the grog and had a big pre-season apparently. Ultra consistent. JPK has a bigger ceiling, but can often be picked off midway through the year for a fair bit cheaper than his starting price.
Parker for me
Have neither but I was very close to going JPK (held firm on Pendles in the end) . The only difference I see between JPK and Hanners is JPK kicks more goals
JPK for mine, his averages are insane when tmitch isn't play
Jock are you thinking Rancey may not be the SC premo he was ,Dusty not pushing back so much in 2017 may hinder Rance in not receiving that occasional chop-out at ground level,it looked like Houli's role has changed in lew of this gamestyle ,Caddy might be the answer & not forgetting Lids run from Wing/Half back,it looks like Rance has been effected mostly ,, am I wrong mate
I think he's just underdone. He was injured preseason don't forget
Rance does better when it is clear who is his opponent and he is set a real challenge. That won't be his best game for the year
pretty happy i went howe over rance 🙂 going n reiwolt as vc today hoping he goes large. so far its been the stalwarts of supercoach looking the goods no suprises yet
I have Howe. If he stays in that role all year he will be one of the best defenders
Jock how do you feel the rookies performing and do you see yourself going more of a guns / rookie strategy?
I just gone with Gazza. Going to back him. Just thinking whether to put the C on him. (got jibbed by VC trelor last night)
Plenty are jumping on him today! My advice – back your preseason research in, I'd resist the urge to pump him in if you've had a few poor performers so far. Back in your preseason son 😉
Am honestly considering trading grundy to nank, thought i was following my guns by not picking him but champion data seem to love the kid, and dear god someone please talk me out of it
Seems like a sideways trade. Buy low sell high
don't do it.
It's a knee jerk reaction to the first round. You swith them now and next week Nank will score 70 and Grundy 130.
Just hold, Grundy will bring your points and the trade is not worth it.
Waste of a trade
The idea of the game Jake is to increase the number of premiums you have in your team. Not trade them because they scored an 80. And to a mid pricer! Jake slap yourself in the face please. If Nank goes welll next week find another way of getting him in
WBDs historically are hard to score against as a ruckman. 80 odd is a decent score against them
Do it, unless your chicken, bok bok bok
Current team:
Def: K Simpson, H Shaw, R Laird, S Burgoyne, C Hampton, A Otten, (M Hibberd, T Stewart)
Mids: P Dangerfield, S Pendlebury, J Kennedy, J Selwood, N Fyfe, J O'Meara, D Swallow, S Powell-Pepper, (O Florent, J Barrett, J Pickett)
Rucks: T Goldstein, A Sandilands (L Strandica)
Fwds: N Riewoldt, J Roughead, W Hoskin-Elliot, C McCarthy, T Taranto, K Turner, (D Butler, B Eddy)
Should I keep Shaw and O'Meara or trade them out for M Priddis and Z Jones.
Keep them.
Yeah I'd keep them
Keep them.
Sorry, posted that as a comment instead of a reply by mistake. Maybe trade Burgoyne down to a rookie (J Smith maybe) and McCarthy up to JJK or Franklin. Your forward line is very thin.
But maybe Burgoyne down to rookie (J Smith maybe) and McCarthy up to JJK or Franklin. Your forward line is very thin.
I'm thinking of going Big Steph as something a little different as Archie wasn't named. Is this a sane move??
Archie won't play reserves all year. Stef struggles with him in the team. Long term it's not a great move
Feeling pretty bloody pleased with my VC loophole in Pendles and the 120 from Bont. Season's off to a good start so far. Still yet to see how some of my midprice risks pay off so fingers crossed for Roughy, Steele and JOM to smash out a good score.
will sloane play or get him out b4 todays games
Danger or Fyfe as captain
Tough to pick Danger imo
Its like splitting hairs could defiantly go either way.
Danger for me definitely, with the vc on Gawn
So now do we take Gawn's 128ish?
Was thinking the same and I think I'll take Gawns 128
Yes i have taken his 128
Current team:
Def: H Shaw, A Rance, H Hartlett, C Marchbank, C Hampton, A Otten, (M Hibberd, T Stewart)
Mids: P Dangerfield, G Ablett, J Kennedy, N Fyfe, D Beams J O'mera, D Swallow, S Powell-Pepper (O Florent, T Taranto, J Pickett)
Rucks: M Kreuzer, T Nankervis (B Preuss)
Fwds: N Riewoldt, L Franklin, S Higgins, J Roughead, J Steele, B Eddy (D Butler, J Simpkin)
Interesting team, I've gone with Higgins too so I hope that can pay off. I like your Ablett and Kreuzer picks, they are great left field picks. A bit uncertain about Hartlett consistency wise and Steele being a JLT trap
I think Hartlett uses the ball well when he is on but it is a risky pick. Backed my gut with Kreuzer. I think Ablett is too good at his best but whether he is at his best I guess we'll see
I've pulled in Zac jones as D4 using cash in the bank, I feel he's a sneaky but got some little creeping doubts! some one tell me…good shout mate, so i feel good about it
Is going KK and Higgins over Shaw and Roughy insane or ballsy? Only way to get Shaw and Roughy would involve changing Gawn to a Stefan Martin or below
Would have taken Shaw, Roughy and Stef over KK, Higgins and Gawn any day of the week
What are people doing with Ed Vickers-Willis ?
Keeping on the bench and hope he gets a game soon or trading out to a R1 player.
I have traded out and moved Hibberd from Mid to Def and traded in Mountford to Mid.
Move doesn't sit well with me though,
If you don’t have Barrett or Parfitt try to move them in or get a Joel Smith kind of player in defence and move Hibberd back into the midfield
I would personally get rid of EVW.
I personally like all rookies to be playing(other then floatong donut if you play that way).
Allowing for correction trades on missed rookies prior to price changes if required.
Is Andy Otten a must have or na?
I wouldn't say a must have as he has his risks
Job security is the major concern here can he hold on long enough to beef up in price before we send him to the slaughter house.
I currently have him.
Need help guys:
Already have guthrie at d8 so that's a donut there
Currently have Cameron at f8 and strndica at r3
Do I trade Cameron to pruess?
Only thing I'm worried about is losing that loop with my rucks as I have nankervis forward
Anyone know anything on the young bloke from the Dees?
Have we poked the Pendle-bear-y by thinking that Treloar will surpass him? I'm still crying that I doubted King Scott and went Prince Adam in his place.
Pendles was majestic last night
Tobias Greene or Buddy?????
Buddy
Buddy
Do I trade Hanners to Ablett?
no. ablett may do well, but very injury prone.
i would take him on all year
History shows he can score go with your gut on who you think will give you the best output.
I will be monitoring little Gaz and considering Post bye
FWD ROOKIES
Houston or Hannan?
DEF ROOKIES
Smith or Stewart?
Who do i pick?
Houston and Smith
okay.
but why?
Better JS
Hannan's js is looking pretty good now
Patch or Lek posted some info on why Hannan over Houston. Looks like got some decent js
Have 90k left as I changed from Grundy/Crouch to Gawn/JOM team is settled.
Although is it worth considering changing Lynch to JJK or Roo with the extra coin from last nights change?
Yes. Lynch is a gun and a good POD, but he has the early bye. Prime upgrade target after that.
Good change Crouch bad pick in my opinion. I would keep the cash for a rainy day
Sidebottom 35 touches Bont 22,SB 17 kicks Bont 8, 2 goals each SB 4 marks Bont 3, SB 3 tackles Bont 4, SB 80% efficiency Bont 72%, SB 117 sc pts Bont 120!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Channel 7 commentary team doing the points last night.
How many of those goals went through bonts hands last night. The most SC friendly player this year
Hannan or Houston doing my head in
Laird or Shaw
Shaw
Are all leagues autofilled yet! Say i wanted to join a league today would i be able to! And will the fixtures work out
leagues are auto filled after this round i believe
So i can still join leagues and Thanks for your quick response Youngy gl with your SC year
Yes u can, Cheers
Swallow or Omeara
Swallow
maybe not now haha
Depends on your structure both will perform in my opinion if playing.
JOM will be right amongst it for Hawthorn who don't have a huge amount of depth on the other hand GC may have more roations through the middle.
Should I go with Toby Greene or roo
roo.
consistent, not injury prone, gun
Roo concerned about lids addition to team in coming weeks
Here is my team wondering if I should make some swaps to utilize my 270k in the bank
Wondering if upgrading taranto/mccarthy to a cheap premo or a midpricer like steele/ roughy is worth it.
Also got to choose between swallow and omeara and laird/shaw.
defence
adams, rance, laird, marchbank, hampton, otten (hibberd, stewart)
mid
danger, jpk, treloar, fyfe, tmitch, beams, swallow, spp (barett, picket, parfitt)
rucks
sandilands, witts (strnadica)
forwards
dahl, macrae, higgins, nank, taranto, mcarth (housten, eddy)
Shaw over Laird for me and keep the cash for a rainy day
Yeh that's what I was thinking. Thanks
Thoughts on JJK??
Solid pick best overall forward scorer last year will have his quiet games
who do you recon will score more?
Joel Smith or T Stewart
stewart has better job security. melbourne have about 8 players to return in the next month, roos have 1 in the defence
Stewart plays for geelong
Otten, Stewart or hibberd on the field in the backline?
Otten
Selwood v T Mitchell???
Selwood
Selwood also
Hibberd or Barret or Pafeit on ground
J Johansson vs Taylor Adams???
JJ
Lynch vs Buddy
I have Buddy but will end up with both – personal preference
Yeah ill have both…maybe bud as he'll def go 95+..lynch unknown
im hoping Taranto scores similar to Dan Butler so i don't fell the brunt of not playing the kid on field too much
Taranto or Hannan ? please advise!
Taranto every day
Just going on price, Hannan
Often, Smith or Stewart as D6?
Gawn VC into Danger C?
Gday Jock and community. My season is hanging by a thread! I traded out Marchbank & Adams pre game. I feel i need to take a risk now. Welcome to F6 Mitch Hannan…..aka the saviour
Wow that went well your back
Take Bonts 120 as captain?
Who else do you have to come?
If Danger / Fyfe, I would probably roll the dice but otherwise, probably take it.
Hickey or Big Stef?
Stef
Is horlin smith worth a shot over swallow or o'meara with gurthrie, menengola and thurlow out?
This week: Yes. Rest of the year: No
Horlin smith with hold his spot this year. Others will make way
Good pod. Swallow late out. Teams everywhere in disarray!
