First comment go cats
Flog
Go hawks
Flog go cattas
Up the Catttters!!!
FLOGS!
GO HAWKS
Ha ha. Love it. Go cattas.
MERGE TO BECOME THE MIGHTY CATHAWKS.
NEVER!!
Holding him. He is being rested, Hawks don't want his confidence destroyed by the Cats mids who would put him on toast. No Mitchell or Lewis gives him no support. Lets see what he is made of in the coming weeks.
Fair call.
Bad call.
He was playing shit before the rest.
Move him on!
He is SC irrelevant this year
Weak as pi$$
imagine if the Hawks missed the 8 , draft picks , an easier run next year & a second year into oll the hawk noobies , might be another flag coming
They gave up there next draft pick
That's a fast rebuild. You a fan?
Their first round draft pick belongs to the Saints
And Jaeger belongs to the rehab ward
Do your homework before making such silly comments.
Fyfe into Dangerfield for captain using Barret as the loophole, the one time a rookie being dropped has a actually helped me (at least for this weekend, not for cash generation)
who's better ? an injury prone Swallow surrounded by an injury prone midfield or a cheaper George Horlin Smith surrounded by Danger & selwood
Probably still Swallow with his scoring potential imo
If you own GHS then you don't trade him for swallow.
Swallow
I thought Schuey would go huge last night against the Swans so had the VC on him. Very happy with his 127, but not enough to go the loophole. Hopefully Danger gets his predicted 145.
Danger is kinda due for a lower one though.
120-125 is decision time for me. Guaranteed 254 or maybe 280? Take the 254
Yeah if he only gets 100, 50 points is a fair bit to miss out on.
Scored >127, 10 times last year.
If danger only gets 100 as capt you only miss out on 27 pts not 50.
If he takes 127 = 254 captain score.
Takes 100 from Danger = 200 captain score.
Loses 54 points………
127 x 2 + 100 = 354
100 x 2 + 127 = 327
Therefore you don't lose 54 points you lose out on 27
yeah as I hit enter I realised………..fail
lol what am I smokin you are right.
Smashed the hawks last year… 160 Monday.
If Danger gets 145 and you don't have him capt you miss out on 18 pts. But it he goes off with concussion for eg in first qtr and he's only on peanuts you'll spew
Jock and community I traded in witts for gawn on thursday and am now regretting it, will i lose a trade if i now trade witts to martin due to the round already starting?
yes
Regretting it before he's even played. Ouch.
Witts will go well mate
Be happy with Witts. I'm running Sandiwitts since last week. Backed him against Hawks and will back him against Kruezer
Who should I loophole Bont,fyfe or Selwood.
Concerned Bont will be tagged tonight
Thoughts???????
Bont. Tag not a bother
Pretty hard to loop Jelwood?
Should we take Newmans 80 or back in Hampton?
Scores of 50, 64 and 84.
If he gets his top score again you gain 4 points, his lowest score you lose 30.
Take the 80 I reckon.
As a general rule I take any rookie score over 70.
You've gotta take 80 from a rookie
Should I take Shueys 127 or bank on Danger or Martin?
Take it.
I'd bank Danger. Yeah he might be due for a lower score but he's in rare form.
What's going on with Heater?? Anyone else worried?
Yep. Bought him as a keeper, an expensive one at that.
Trade him. He's spent
Starting to think that myself, the games getting past him poor old heater, fwd line pressure acts are a hit this season
Come off it
Agreed traded him and will get him back later at cheaper price if needed. Other defenders Lloyd, Adams, Laird producing consistent numbers.
GWS success. Ball in defence less.
Heater will come good hopefully when I get him cheap
Not thrilled but no role change + no injury = hold. So far I've had bigger problems to worry about.
Please trade Heater so he can go nuts with a 160+
Teams have used coolers, should come back to form though
Anyone worried come round 11 and ya got no trades?
Literally nothing wrong with heater… he is playing in the best team obviously the ball isn't down his end..
Elliot yo yo is teasing me again. One of my never again players but looking good this year. And will still be under 500k.
Please talk me out of it. Or into it
He's never been a Mid/Fwd before has he?…so I think he's just relishing his new freedom and making the most of it…I'm very tempted myself.
A Leopard and his spots !!!
He has so far, Mid/Fwd is a big difference from Defence only.
Yeo has burnt me in the past also. I traded Shaw for Newman and added Murphy to mid. For JOM Gives me enough cash to trade in Adams next week. Should have started with Adams.
Very early days but I may trade out higgins next week for a genuine keeper.
I think Macrae looks good … four scores between 90 and 110. Will be 515-520k
Will wait on Yeo … will be $50k well spent if he proves he is a genuine keeper by mid season … still a bit too risky at this stage.
Anyone know if swallow is okay to play tommorow? heard he may have been carrying a minor injury
All good… He only had a corky..
Those who dumped Goldy might be feeling a bit off colour at the moment …
cant beat quality
The ruckman nightmares continue for many coaches. Especially those that moved Goldy on this week. Goldy seems to be playing some decent footy today. 53 SC at the half. Still not sure if he will tonne up as Pruess is pinching plenty of his points.
Goldy mustv'e had a huge whinge to the Coach about what everyone was saying about him not being the number one Ruckman anymore.
gawn and goldy still 1and 2 but witts sandy pruess still value
Was obviously playing second fiddle due to injury. Now he's back.
The Roos look ordinary but the Dogs look terrible.
Much better second half than that first half rubbish.
Dogs by 40 roos couldn't hold a lead if their lives depended on it
That proved prophetic…the outcome, not the margin.
Higgins= Burnman. I cant believe I was looking at him a few weeks ago. Glad I came to my senses. Bloody terrible up to three quarter time.
Yes i got sucked in again and the supercoach Gods slapped me silly
Podcasts are still coming out, therefore Higgins has no relevance
I'd give that comment 20 likes Danners
DHAL!!!! Ohhh boy
He good boy. Thats why you gotta have him. GUN
The blessing of SuperCoach is that while I lick my wounds as a Kangaroos supporter, I can at least get the benefit of 145 points from Dahl.
Field Taranto or Parfitt?
Loophole with Barrett
hows that work?
Put first playing player on the bench with e. Second put the dummy on field. If the first player stuffs it up, switch in the second player. Cheers
Thanks mate.
Seen a few teams swap Maxy for Preuss on field….
Ouch.
I know! Gotta trade Maxy out. That's far too much money sitting on the bench for 12 weeks!
Lone wolf ruck like Witts easily worth the extra 93K, I reckon even Spencer at 236K would've been worth it.
Sry guys not sure if you read that right. They have traded Max and put Preuss R1!!!!
MADNESS..
Oh no Derek not you too??!?!
lobbe wasn't playing!
Not the worst move if they've used the $$$ to bring in a premo elsewhere, not what I'd do though.
Ye that was me. Gawn –> Preuss. Leaving me with SandiPreuss. Noticed cash gen was going to be hard so I did it. Regreting it now…
Was gonna do Gawn to Witts for cash gen too, but decided to swing Nank up (nankilands and Preuss) and got Rooey in, might even whack the C on him this arvo. Hope his knees hold up….
Bit concerned about Buddy and Lynch combo in my forward line, both under performing. Hopefully Lynch has a blinder this week
Buddy did cop a painful corky early in the game though, limited his mobiliy.
Saw that , is there more to it ? Last week he looked hesitant in havin a shot at goals – quick to hand ball, always seemed out of positon.
I can cover Jagers week off easily, but i also have the $$ available to turn him into oliver. Not sold he is a keeper though. He definitely seems to be on the fantasy improve though. Thoughts?
127 no where near enough… 140 is the new 130..
Fools Gold ..(ignore previous comment… Meant for other post)
Wait a week and see how Oliver performs without a Gawn.
I came first in AUS in CoachKings for the Richmond/WC game last weekend and collected $150. Unrelated to the chew but I'm obnoxiously telling everyone.
Shaun Bloody Higgins only scored 75!!!
Supercon
As a saints fan who traded Nick Roo to Higgins may I just say ….
AAARGHRHG …
I feel for you that's rough.
Trade ??
Maybe give him till the byes?
I'm spewing that I changed my VC from Dahlhaus to Fyfe when I found out that Barrett got dropped
We all thought that.
VC on Fyfe and C on Danger. Barrett the C and/or E swinger if required. Nail both at the same time and BANG!
did the same….but think Danger will go 150+ so hopefully won't matter
290 in the bank for me
Goldy still has a lot of improvement to do. Attended 67 stoppages to Preuss 27, big change from last week. However Goldy only won 29 hit outs compared to 17 for Preuss.
Agree Derek.
He did look up for the fight tonight though. Tackled hard, presented as a target on half back and wings all game.
I am glad I don't have him but if I did I reckon holding him for one more week might be wise.
Maybe his ankle is OK?
Was rooted last week.
Goldy looked better. But Preuss impacts his scoring a lot. I'm sure goldy will dip to 500 or even under that soon
What do people think of this Trade
Shaw and Taranto
OUT FOR
Murphy and Burton (was going to go Newman but ran out of time)
must be the odd one out shaw will come good only time
Shaw will come good. Surely you have more pressing problems to concentrate on. Murphy wont have the legs and wont be a top 10 mid
Scary
Shaw is a gun, he'll finish as a top 6 defender and you'll wish you hadn't traded him out.
Shawly you jest
Stop holding on! Shaw has had his time but now it's over
What do i do with Taranto then
no money left
Hold him, still some cash to be made.
Can you reverse trades when your players havent played that you traded in and out
No. One the round starts and you trade they become permanent
Sadly not
Take bont's 113 or back in the danger man against hawthorn?
Same boat.
Danger.
Jelwood
113 isn't enough.
Who should I play on field and who should i use the emergency loophole with out of SPP and Taranto?
I think I'm travelling well this round. In all the leagues im in, im the only who have 7 players score of 710. Left the VC Franklin thought he'll go big after last weeks loss, which he took it really hard. Now will have depend on Danger as my Cap or take a gamble on Fyfe.
What do ya guys think?
Danger vs Fyfe as Cap for this week.
Only one who have used 7 players*
Hate it when your brain thinks too fast than your fingers. Tend to miss a words here there.
Trading in Dusty this week. But who do I trade him for?
Option 1: Trade Gawn, move Nank to ruck and give sht cnt Caddy 1 more chance with a 136BE.
Option 2: Sht cnt Caddy to Dusty, means I have to field Hannan. Leave Gawn on the bench for a week, then trade.
Get rid of caddy for sure I reckon he might even be dropped soon. Has been terrible. Who are your three rucks at the moment
Gawn, Sandi, Nank and Strndik. My team is shit this year
Nank has been averaging over 100 so if you have sandi and him as your rucks I would still expect a 200 combine score. Then trading caddy to Martin is a good option. Martin could go massive again and even if he doesn't he will still get over 100. Sit on Gawn til next week then bring in maybe grundy move nank back forward. That's what I would do
I think grundy will be the no.1 ruck by seasons end
He'll be up there but not if he has performances like last week, really low DE and bugger all hitouts to advantage.
Gawn to either Steff or Grundy and get rid of Caddy.
Gawn and caddy both need to be traded. In D.Martin and Grundy. But if you only have one left I'd go D.Martin in first and run nank and sandi as your rucks
Only 1 trade left as I brought in Newman. Either option sees Nank and Sandi as on field rucks this week. Option 1 might lose me a bit of cash on Caddy, but means I have Caddy on field instead of Hannan. Not sure that will see many points gained though!
Get rid of Caddy now! Should have traded him out last week. He has been so scheit that he deserves a new name. SCATTY. Whack Nank in the ruck, and replace Scatty for Dusty. Then deal with Gawn next week. See who backs up bigger this round between Steff and Grundy this week and trade in the winner next week. Then Nank back forward and Sandi and S. Martin/Grundy as your R2 and R1 ready to go for round 5. Job done! Just my take. Good luck.
That's what I did prior to lockout, but Hannan on ground concerns me. Although Melbourne with a few outs, might score ok
Cadudy?
Eddy out for M Murphy or Taranto out for Sloane or Dusty guys
Sloane
*Sloane. Gun. Low ownership POD.
Take dalhaus 145 as captain or back in danger?
Bank the 145.
Even of Danger gets 160, you are only losing 15 points. It's not worth the risk.
Take the 145 every day! Great score
DAHLS score is great tossed up with him and JPK went wrong way
You should take 130+ any day of the week I reckon.
Show off! 😉
Who is your Captains loophole? I got Dahl as VC and Eddy as my C loophole on field….praying for no late outs for Port as happened 2 weeks ago.
Should be fine I assume they can only late in off the emergency list?
Taranto or Parfit on field at M8? Have Parfitt on bench as loophole but how do I work that?
*Barrett on bench.
Put Taranto on the bench with the 'E' on him, and Barrett on field. If Taranto scores well, leave it as it is and you'll get Taranto's score after Brisbane play.
If he doesn't score well, sub Parfitt on the field for Barrett before the start of the Brisbane game. This will enable you to get Parfitt's score.
Whom else do you have on the midfield bench?
Barrett, Taranto & O'Mera. Parfitt at M8, Pickett on forward bench at F7.
Put Taranto on the bench with the 'E' on him, and Barrett on field. If Taranto scores well, leave it as it is and you'll get Taranto's score after Brisbane play.
If he doesn't score well, sub Parfitt on the field for Barrett before the start of the Brisbane ga8ne. This will enable you to get Parfitt's score.
Thanks Rocksta! Makes sense now.
Whats everyone's thoughts on JOM.. I've held him this week but his scores and knee problem is now a real concern. But I don't really see an obvious trade for him either, especially since swallow will rise in price after this week
Failed midpricer like Mills down to Newman, and JOM up to gun would be ideal.
Also many things using swingsets could be achieved.
Or even a downgrade to Robbie Fox.
But alas most of these ships have sailed.
I've got Newman so I'd have to wait til next week. If he plays I'll probably hold him but if he misses another week he will go. Who to bring in is the question. Ideally I'd like to go up to beams as I see him being a keeper til seasons end. And he's not too pricey as yet
There are so many similarities with Brad Crouch of last year. Almost identical starting price. Brad played first two rounds, them missed, one week became two, then 3. Came back r7 & 8, missed a few more………
Yep as soon as I heard out for a week that was it bang.
Yeah its bad signs. I don't see an obvious replacement for $360k though which is what I'll have unless I burn two trades downgrading someone else for extra cash
It seems like a lot of discussion going on about heavy trading. So I thought I'd just give everyone a friendly reminder to put down the mouse and pick up some chocolate this Easter. We already have a few examples of promos having poor starts and starting to turn things around. Hold firm!
I'm strategically looking ahead and want 20 trades left come round 9 where I plan to do some premo upgrades through the bye rounds. I have used 2 trades so far, so I'm tracking well?
How many trades have people used and how many trades do you hope to have come the bye rounds – round 9
Have used 3 plan to have 20
Only used 2
Taranto to Hoskin-Elliot
Hibberd to Newman
Really got no problems other then Hanners and Shaw but gotta hold
4 :(. But I I'll cam down from now on and get 19-20 trades
Used 4 so far Crouch to Bont Shaw to Adams JOM to Martin Smithy to Newman Happy with all four trades,since they have improved my team,only plan to use another six trades before the byes.
I take part of that back JOM to Dusty this week was not very good timing.
4 trades of which 3 were injury cover (Gawn, Rampe and Smith).
Fyfe into Dangerfield this week. Eddy to be used as both the captain and forward emergency loophole option. If Fyfe goes 140+ then BANG the C goes on Eddy after the Freo/demons game. Only a very short window to do this as the GWS and Port match starts 10 minutes after the conclusion of the Freo match. My opponent does not have Taranto in Trig's league. Getting his points strategic so the E will go on him on my forward line. Eddy to deliver his points also. Eddy very very useful this week. BANG BANG! And this time, he better not be a late in! Welcome
Yeah I'm using him too. Late in will kill me.
Barrett might still be handy for a little midfield E loophole manoevre planned for tomorrow.
Not confident on SPP vs GWS this week I already put the E on Fox.
Have SPS and GHS on field have a feeling they will both outscore him easily.
my captains last two weeks have been Eddy and Gawn. Think I might go fyfe into danger this week for something different
I will be watching out for the late ins and outs for the Port-GWS match. Any hint of Eddy playing would mean a last minute reshuffle. I am out this afternoon on a family outing so l cannot watch the Freo game. (Just monitor the stats on fanfooty) My mobile phone will be 100% charged before I leave the house today. My gut tells me that the super coach gods could be dropping in for a visit today. Cheers
Can't they only bring in emergencies at this point? Eddy is not on the list.
I saw that, ouch. What's your rank after those two disasters?
Houston or Parfitt on field, can't loophole with anyone
Parfitt? Flip a coin maybe.
Still not sure which way to go
1. Gawn to Roo, swing Nank in ruck (leaves no ruck cover)
Or
2. Gawn to witts, bank the $$$ & upgrade a rookie next week
Gawn to Roo, premium for premium
Like Witts. last chance to get a decent lone wolf ruck this cheap.
Shaw and Omeara out for Burton and Sloan or
Roughy and Omeara out for Murphy and Dan Butler/ Broomhead
Don't like either one sorry. Should hold Shaw and Roughy just got 100, hold him too.
Choose 2 on field out of,
Marchbank, Otten, Hampton?
Marchbank and Otten, although Hampton seems to be building.
Community would you take pruess's 60 or roll the dice with the under performing hannan?
Almost take it, Hannan has been useless with only 10 touches a game.
Hannan could go well today
60 is a pass, just.
Someone please help. Do I field Taranto or Houston? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks so much
50/50 Marcus. Choose who you enjoy watching.
GWS will kick a big score. TT might get on the end of a few
Taranto can go big will probably play forward mostly and will clunk a few
One trade left this week. Gawn to S Martin or JOM to Swallow. Leaning towards first option as I have no issues in the midfield.
Also, should I put the VC on Fyfe or Roo. I currently have it on Roo, however, my opponent has gone with Fyfe as C.
Thoughts????
I think covering yourself on the Fyfe as VC is a good way to go, if he gets 150+ you're safe. If he goes low you can change to someone else and have a high chance of gains.
Gawn to Witts for cheapie, or Grundy/Martin are good trades.
Trade Shaun Higgins ??
Keep … What's the alternative?
Thinking Elliot Yeo or Toby Green
SPP or Taranto on field?
I'm leaning towards Taranto at home and with SPP seemingly dropping off a little..
Thoughts?
Scratch that. Just saw they are playing at Canberra. Parfitt? Welcome
