How is 99 carnage? Do you really expect 120+ every week?

INPieman · 13/05/2017 at 10:15
Agree. If 99 is a low score he's gold

BlueNath · 13/05/2017 at 09:51
It's just the SC testing us. We need to stick to proven strategies and tactics if we want to be at the pointy end comes season end

TRIGGER HAPPY · 13/05/2017 at 11:22
Had an unusual quiet last term
First time 4 the year
99 as a bad score.
Yeah I'll take that

KICKITDOWNTHEGUTS · 13/05/2017 at 13:01
Got him in this week, if that's the worst we get I'll be very pleased…

Derek · 13/05/2017 at 12:59
Everyone has Dalh

Daniel · 14/05/2017 at 00:29
Or they will once his price drops in 2 weeks.

Gjlane123 · 13/05/2017 at 14:54
Yeo tagged him and kept him low then got let loose for his 109 did his job well !

Hoota · 13/05/2017 at 11:10
That's crap pal. The three of them play on a different line. You have really missed out on not having a single dog.
I have Sloane, Laird, Jacobs and Otten and just traded out Hampton with Otten to go next week. Very comfortable with my team thanks very much.

TOPHAWK1 · 13/05/2017 at 09:29
I grabbed him this week. Was good against Port as well. Hopefully he can keep his place through the byes and make me some more cash.

INPieman · 13/05/2017 at 10:17
He's been serviceable in the last 2 games. I'm hoping he keeps his spot. But the way things are going he's getting dropped for sure

bUCKET__ · 13/05/2017 at 11:32
Cripps takes his spot as soon as he's fit

Stirlsy · 13/05/2017 at 11:47
Was very hard at it in the WAFL watched a couple of his games and he has Adjusted to the tempo well.

jockreynolds · 13/05/2017 at 09:14
Same mate.

Lincoln · 13/05/2017 at 09:19
Same Jock.Got him in this week too.Still got 99 on a poor week…got Yeo in as well…Danger C i reckon

Neverweaken · 13/05/2017 at 12:04
Was Bont or McCrae this week. Got Bont. McCrae after the bye. Got yes instead of McCrae 3 or 4 weeks ago so can't complain

Captain Risky · 13/05/2017 at 14:16
2nd time for me. last time he got 88! That makes 8 weeks with no VC score to loophole, although I'm not alone on that poor result. Still shagging on regardless :/

BockChoy · 13/05/2017 at 10:39
I'm in the same situation. What worries me is that I've passed on a number of similar VC scores only for my C to completely spud it. I think 120 would be a passable score for a C and now ask myself, do I risk a 109 for the sake of only 11 points?
Then again, the last time Rocky played the Hawks, he got 146.

INPieman · 13/05/2017 at 10:57
Pendles played the first 4 rounds last year with broken ribs. Soon as he recovered he went ape shit after many traded him. It's about 4 weeks now for Danger. Hoping he replicates Pendles

Stirlsy · 13/05/2017 at 11:52
Gee that's one area im firing in VC or C last weeks 128 from Bont is the lowest iv taken all year with a season high of 174

INPieman · 13/05/2017 at 11:55
I've have a shocker with captains this year. The only week I didn't have the Vc or C on Gary was the 210 week. Makes a huge differnwce when you get it right

Derek · 13/05/2017 at 13:00
Have you tried Eddy

Stirlsy · 13/05/2017 at 13:28
Well im going the Doc this week as my VC Pieman,had it on Bont in the lead up but switched just b4 game started last nite, Doc is Due for a 130 + game should see plenty of it against Stk.
Danger should be over the ribs and the Bombers will be a tired lot coming off a hard run and it was 30 in Perth last weekend expect him to run riot in 2nd half
. So if The Doc fails the C goes to Danger
Sloane was an option but the Vince tag might go to him tonite.

hedski · 13/05/2017 at 13:42
Doing the same Stirlsy, carn Doch.

BockChoy · 13/05/2017 at 17:35
Pleased I put the C on Rocky!!! Less pleased with his shoulder popping out in the dying minutes. 🙁

TOPHAWK1 · 13/05/2017 at 09:59
I agree. Sometimes I also wonder if enough time/resources are spent on goal kicking. I know there is a lot of pressure during match time to kick straight, but gee whiz the amount of straight forward misses are staggering. It is probably the only facet of the game which has not improved over time. (May have gone backwards)
Forward line coaches should adjust the width of the goal posts during training. Perhaps halve the width from 6.4 metres to 3.2 metres. It would obviously make it harder to kick goals and force players to concentrate harder to kick truely. Then come match day, players will think the goals are as wide as the Flemington straight after training in and refining their skills in much more difficult conditions.

Fatso · 13/05/2017 at 11:15
It is the only aspect of our great game that hasn't improved. Surely it is mental thus a decent psychologist should do the trick because generally, the field kicking is fine.

Dogs · 13/05/2017 at 11:26
I read something a while ago that the sports scientists are to blame for poor goal kicking, every meter ran and every kick gets recorded at training, and they're only allowed a certain number of kicks per training session. Back in the days the greats would be on the ground for hours just having shots on goal, but now they get told they can only have 10-15 shots and not allowed to kick anymore.

INPieman · 13/05/2017 at 11:31
Try being a Collingwood supporter. They are atrocious at goal kicking & have been for a very long time. Only team in recent times that's been go at it is the Hawks

Temet Nosce · 13/05/2017 at 11:39
In fairness to today's boys they cover a lot more ground. I suspect the "greats" accuracy would drift if they had just run a couple of km before taking a set shot from 50m.

richard · 13/05/2017 at 12:03
50m shots i can accept but when their 30-40 m out directly in front set shot no excuse

DavidSA · 13/05/2017 at 12:27
We mostly have athletes not footballers
Think of the great footy minds of 15 years ago and beyond….
These days it's about beep tests, 20 mtr timed acceleration speeds, reach, pinch tests, standing jump ect ect ect. Awesome for identifying ability but you cannot measure a football brain

Notorious mac · 13/05/2017 at 12:26
Richard maybe you could offer your elite goal kicking skills and knowledge to a few clubs

DavidSA · 13/05/2017 at 12:37
yeah a player runs 80 mtrs @90% of his best sprint speed marks the ball gets limited time to take his shot and may have to deal with a breeze that you can't feel on ground level due to stadium heights and entry points.
30-40 mtrs straight in front is NOT straight forward period!

Notorious mac · 13/05/2017 at 12:44
Very true. But all these armchair critics who probably struggled to get a kick at local footy would do so much better

KICKITDOWNTHEGUTS · 13/05/2017 at 12:59
Anyway……..

Tony · 13/05/2017 at 23:23
Bulldogs just won the flag. I suggest that's why they don't give a shit.

Top Gun · 14/05/2017 at 09:08
Agree that the greats were fantastic kicks for goal but many of them were one out not three players on them like now and got their goals from about 20-30m out. Now it is more tactical with spare players behind the ball.

richard · 14/05/2017 at 11:00
Brilliant exhibition of goal kicking by the cats last night.Set shots that sprayed left and right of the main sticks even Motlo[ps shot in the last qtr looked like he never kicked a footy before.Even Chris Scott said it was woeful.And we pay good money each week and these so called footballers get 100's of 1000's each year do dish this crap up.

Jones · 15/05/2017 at 06:22
100 percent heard that one of the main reason for poor kicking is that the footy boots these days have a plastic finish on them that decreases the grip when the ball is kicked. In years gone bye the football boots were leather and combined with the laces produced better connection with the ball therfore much more accuracy.

pod · 15/05/2017 at 06:45
Your a genius!! You have to inform all teams of this asap.

KSinny · 13/05/2017 at 10:42
Hanners

The BONT · 13/05/2017 at 11:29
Steven

Top Gun · 14/05/2017 at 09:08
Steven but he tends to butcher the ball

Wedge · 14/05/2017 at 11:30
He goes to the butcher for kicking practice and haircuts

Steve · 14/05/2017 at 12:15
Hard to say, depends what you want them for.
Hanners for reliability and consistency but Stevens if you're looking for a good VC loophole option because his ceiling is crazy high.

Flubber · 13/05/2017 at 09:46
who are you trading out for it?

Rabbits17 · 13/05/2017 at 11:52
beams for adams..

CoachDamo · 13/05/2017 at 09:54
I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Beams out for Adams – let's hope he's not a late out!

Flubber · 13/05/2017 at 10:13
Perfectly fine trade!

Temet Nosce · 13/05/2017 at 11:40
Agree, do it

Eidemick · 13/05/2017 at 11:34
As Adams injured his hand during training this week. Thar was enough for me to hold off another week in case it is serious

Rabbits17 · 13/05/2017 at 11:54
yeh thats what i was thinking yet i cant find any details on what the injury is

Steve · 14/05/2017 at 12:19
That's a call you have to make, scoring was never going to be an issue but he's never played more than 18 games in a season…are you confident that this year will be his first?

Carl · 13/05/2017 at 11:18
The answer is in your question. The player who will be a consistently higher scorer

Temet Nosce · 13/05/2017 at 11:44
Agree, focus on the end game

Rabbits17 · 13/05/2017 at 11:54
thats what im doing

Brett H · 13/05/2017 at 10:51
Yep – has anyone got an update on Pendles becoming a dad?
Want to trade him in today – now very cheap, and with a BE of 90.
Only year that I haven't started with him, and have regretted it most weeks.
Got sucked in by Treloar having a full preseason, and also having such a strong finish last year.

Rabbits17 · 13/05/2017 at 11:55
nothing on his missus instagram account

Liam · 13/05/2017 at 12:37
Going off some of Alex's instagram posts she is about 38 weeks. First babies typically go late so i reckon we are good to around 40 weeks

Vamose · 13/05/2017 at 11:17
Her water just broke!!!!!!
Nah, just kidding

FCAbel · 13/05/2017 at 12:47
Swanny will be all over it. He's very excited about having a little one.

Jason · 13/05/2017 at 11:21
Im looking at Dusty for next week . Has a BE of 124 , shouldnt go up much more than his current price of $519,300 if he beats the BE . I think Richmond have a pretty good run home according to CD .

Temet Nosce · 13/05/2017 at 11:47
Interesting point Jason, has anyone done any research on which teams have the best draw for the end of the season? Or is it too early to tell?

Jason · 13/05/2017 at 12:51
Here is the article i was referring too
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/t…

Neverweaken · 13/05/2017 at 12:07
Keep looking at Cotchin. Doesn't seem to have bad games. On my watch list

Carl · 13/05/2017 at 11:20
Hopefully Simpson learns from that and tries to leave Yeo floating across half back. Takes intercept marks for fun when he is 🙂

Kim · 13/05/2017 at 11:53
No way I would make Pendles capt this week what if he actually does leave at half time? Danger for sure this week, Pendles far too risky this week.

INPieman · 13/05/2017 at 11:58
Danger. He's not expecting a baby

INPieman · 13/05/2017 at 12:00
Actually just looked that up. Dangers mrs is due in July! Christ when will this madness end!!!!

INPieman · 13/05/2017 at 12:04
Right. Before you make any capatain selections check for babies

Mark · 13/05/2017 at 12:47
Hahah thanks guys I forgot about the baby

FCAbel · 13/05/2017 at 12:48
Swanny again

Rabbits17 · 13/05/2017 at 13:01
raaaahhhh no more babies

Temet Nosce · 13/05/2017 at 11:54
Cookie cutter, Just google herald sun how to pick a super coach team in five minutes. Result = a team that looks and smells just like everyone else's.

Kim · 13/05/2017 at 11:54
It means a lot of people had very similar teams at the start of the season. Doesn't really matter too much as injuries and trades make people's teams different mid season in particular.

DavidSA · 13/05/2017 at 12:55
Yup some people pay top dollar and other pay for dropped prices

Babo · 13/05/2017 at 13:30
Cookies (players you select) are cut from a dough (range of all players). Rather than choose your own shape, one can use a pre made stencil such as a circle or star shape (most commonly picked players from online sources) to make their tray of 30 delicious cookies.
(Last part sounds a bit weird)

TOPHAWK1 · 13/05/2017 at 13:40
A team which is devoid of POD players. POD players are those which low ownership rates.

TEM · 13/05/2017 at 13:50
POD stands for point of difference

Jac · 14/05/2017 at 21:25
Should have played Newman on the field!!!

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 21:32
Der Fred.

Temet Nosce · 13/05/2017 at 11:49
Danger again, I know the moment I change the gods will bite

neil demons delight · 13/05/2017 at 12:48
tich

RickeyRat · 13/05/2017 at 21:26
I went Rocky as VC so take the 147,i had Zerret as C just in case not l going Danger or Pendles again this year will look at my backs Laird or Doc both so consistent.

Temet Nosce · 13/05/2017 at 11:56
Tich vs Brisbane = big tag, take care

Chris_Judd · 13/05/2017 at 12:01
Who might it be tagging him?

Moe Szylak · 13/05/2017 at 12:06
Mitch Robinson not playing.

Temet Nosce · 13/05/2017 at 13:18
Titch it is then

INPieman · 13/05/2017 at 12:20
Can't argue with that

Stirlsy · 13/05/2017 at 12:42
Tossing up between Sloane and Danger if Doc fails.
The worry on Sloane is the tag for mine and im leaning towards Danger because of that, but Sloane at home is hard to stop.

Tibor · 14/05/2017 at 11:17
Woops

DavidSA · 13/05/2017 at 12:52
Murphy over the other 2
Agree but follow ur gut mate

DavidSA · 13/05/2017 at 12:47
Barrett and fisher

Jason · 13/05/2017 at 12:53
Barrett would be my first choice . Then maybe Berry and Fisher

FCAbel · 13/05/2017 at 12:56
I like berry. Playing in guts

Derek · 13/05/2017 at 13:19
No robinson or Beams. Berry and barrett

DavidSA · 13/05/2017 at 12:54
It hurts mate I know
I had Ebert and Dixon last year and they burnt me now this year they are flying

Marcus · 13/05/2017 at 13:13
I'd take that 100%

Alun · 13/05/2017 at 13:27
I'm in a similar boat Mutimers 53 or go with Barrett?

Luskin star · 13/05/2017 at 13:31
Im in same situation. Have decided to roll the dice and start fisher. . If someone asked me pre-season would i be happy with 53 from my M8 i'd of said no so not going to settle for that

DavidSA · 13/05/2017 at 13:03
I don't have him but even so your call is a big one

TOPHAWK1 · 13/05/2017 at 13:08
I think it is Yeo handing out the attention….Didn't he tag the Bont for the best of 3 quarters last night? Still tonned up and the Bont didn't get there. Not bad for a tagger.

Liam · 13/05/2017 at 13:31
Not sure he tagged him but was on him when ever Bont went forward. If Yeo was a bit cleaner last night he was looking at 130 plus.

Babo · 13/05/2017 at 13:36
Bont dominted with the Yeo tag then Yeo changed his system in the 2nd half.
Bont just was a bit lazy in the 4th. Didnt maximise opportunity. Waited for the ball more than usual.
Yeo got his ton from being loose in def… intercept marks, clearance kicks to no man's land etc… CD love him.
He will join my team after rd 12. Similarly priced i hope.

Top Gun · 14/05/2017 at 09:12
Loved the way he took contested marks in defence which equates to big points. The advantage of playing multiple positions means he will be quiet some of the game then unleash the rest of the time.

redgumwon · 13/05/2017 at 13:28
Just heard a whisper that Treloar may have groin problems like he had before at GWS. The official line out of Collingwood is it's an ankle. Time to move Treloar on I think

Babo · 13/05/2017 at 13:37
I'm holding for now… can't afford to sideways yet.

redgumwon · 13/05/2017 at 17:33
I just got burnt Treloar into Rocky. Sums up my whole year 🙁

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 20:21
Neither lol

redgumwon · 13/05/2017 at 13:20
Heeney I think. Wingard may play more forward again after the bye

Joshua · 13/05/2017 at 13:45
Hard one, both could be back next week but both could still be carrying the aftereffects. I'm thinking trade out Treloar as Beams scored much better than Adam before the quad.

DefyingMadness · 13/05/2017 at 13:51
Trade out Beams I did. Treloar is an ultra premo and Beams has a history with injuries.

Don't Blush Baby · 13/05/2017 at 14:25
Yes keep it up and I'll loop you with Treloar and Pepper ,just gotta keep an eye the Pies game which starts at 4.35

hedski · 13/05/2017 at 14:29
Sweet he was my other trade in for Hampton, bloody Newman better not be a late call up now he's my loop.

TOPHAWK1 · 13/05/2017 at 14:51
Berry sitting on the bench with the E on him. Hopefully an 80 odd from Berry today. Looks like Mitch Hibberd my loophole slave will get some field time in the backline. Stewart can move off the field and onto the bench.

DavidSA · 13/05/2017 at 14:45
Amazes me no one gives the Doch some rough treatment or a tag

Kev · 13/05/2017 at 15:18
Those who have Kruezer and Murphy need congratulating too. Bloody Kruezer has towelled up every ruck he's come across including max, I might have to get him after round 11

pod · 13/05/2017 at 15:24
Kruezer has gone to another level, just worried about his injury prone history. His price will skyrocket if he keeps this up, might have to do the same and grab him sooner rather than later.

DavidSA · 13/05/2017 at 15:35
Credit needs to go to Wombats
Put his plums out on chopping block long b4 R1

INPieman · 13/05/2017 at 15:05
Looks like they just moved him back. He was lost in the forward line

TOPHAWK1 · 13/05/2017 at 15:08
Just noticed that. Good. His output should improve from here.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 15:54
Let's see what his score is at the end shall we?

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 16:34
Yep, you were right, pretty poopy…he's even gone backwards in points.

pod · 13/05/2017 at 16:44
Well done Joshua, Doch was awesome!!

hedski · 13/05/2017 at 15:51
Lubing up for the cats game tonight Stirlsy.

INPieman · 13/05/2017 at 15:59
Let us know how Luke Ryan goes Stirlsy

Stirlsy · 13/05/2017 at 17:20
Gotta have faith Hedski Doc did the job,
Will do Pieman. Peel are well on top.

hedski · 13/05/2017 at 17:58
Bang!!

Stirlsy · 13/05/2017 at 18:51
Ryan's stats at bottom of page now Pieman he played well.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 15:58
Eddie Betts?…that'd take some big brass balls haha

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 17:35
Billings need to show some more consistency first before I'd consider picking him.

Randomcliche · 14/05/2017 at 22:39
Rocky smashed his shoulder up

hurman · 13/05/2017 at 16:20
SPP

SCdonkey · 13/05/2017 at 16:35
As harsh as it may be. I was waiting on when it was gonna happen, the guy has burnt me 3 years in a row. Totally stayed away from him this year.

TOPHAWK1 · 13/05/2017 at 16:38
I dont have Rocky and this is why. BRILLIANT PLAYER, but always seems to break down at some point. Every year it happens. Some coaches will be shattered after this. Be interesting to see how many weeks he he will miss.

Dogs · 13/05/2017 at 16:52
I've been burnt by him many years, great player to have when he's firing, but he never plays a full season, either injury or suspension.

Kev · 13/05/2017 at 16:39
Dam. TMitch or Cripps maybe

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 17:09
Up to 3 months out, ala Joel Smith..bummer for Rocky owners, especially if they brought him in this week!

Derek · 13/05/2017 at 17:17
It didn't look much, I guess he will be the talk this week. What % ownership?

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 17:27
9.4 %…he beat his B/E too, by 2 points

Captain Risky · 13/05/2017 at 17:29
9.4% Another week and it would have been 15-20% I guess!

Randomcliche · 14/05/2017 at 22:44
great score this week captain

INPieman · 13/05/2017 at 16:30
The way rookies are going I'd take it. And can't forget the 19 last week

SCdonkey · 13/05/2017 at 16:46
So do I Russ. So do I…!!! Hope the missus holds up for the next 2 hours. I just have a feeling he'll go huge today.

DavidSA · 13/05/2017 at 16:46
well he was named as a villain last week can u believe it!
Guy is a great F6 all year long

Holty · 13/05/2017 at 16:51
Agreed. I always new he was a gun. Started him last year as well but hard to break in to that GWS side. Although burnt me last year, i was never going to not pick him this year.

hedski · 13/05/2017 at 16:49
Picked Roughy over him Kev, got rid of Roughy now he's coming good!!!

Dogs · 13/05/2017 at 16:56
I started roughy too, traded him fairly early for yeo and about $40k extra. Just hoping the burns don't repeat from last year.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 17:06
Same here hedski..oh well, dem's the breaks.

DefyingMadness · 13/05/2017 at 16:57
I am pretty happy I didn't start with Steele,so I don't know why you would think that. Had so many meh games

Captain Risky · 13/05/2017 at 17:35
Avg 93 for a 347K player. Up 100K in price, not the worst of choices!

Cogla13 · 14/05/2017 at 07:36
Your loss is my gain. Thanks.

hedski · 13/05/2017 at 16:51
Not sure what his be was but I'll be looking at him next week Holty.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 16:53
He sure is a gun…wonder how much he'll go up by next week?

pod · 13/05/2017 at 16:54
Same Holty, it was only a matter of time.

Northernsoul74 · 13/05/2017 at 17:19
Same here. Annoying that in my league I must be playing one of the only other people to have him.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 17:04
He could be out for several months depending on how serious the dislocation is, and if he needs surgery or not.
You'll need to trade him out regardless.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 17:12
Seeing as how he could die from pollution inhalation half way through the game, I'd say take Barrett's score.

Pitch 72 · 13/05/2017 at 17:13
spp mate

hedski · 13/05/2017 at 17:07
Was going Danger if Doch didn't work out TH, hopefully he goes huge tonight, go cats.

Stirlsy · 13/05/2017 at 17:14
Yep my streak continues 132 will do me.

Andy · 13/05/2017 at 17:11
Selwood

Saundo · 13/05/2017 at 17:11
SPP

Derek · 13/05/2017 at 17:13
I'm doing same. Take Berry ahead of Stewart, but give SPP a run ahead of Barrett.

Ja191 · 13/05/2017 at 17:25
Selwood/martin/zorko maybe

Top Gun · 14/05/2017 at 09:15
Cripps. Cheap as chips

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 17:30
Looks like Steele might've finally pulled his head out of the side of his bum

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 17:22
I don't know, maybe if the rest of your team's travelling ok. Who's your captain choice?

Tommo · 13/05/2017 at 17:17
Take the 135 big fella

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 17:20
Take that anyday Sir

Juzzy · 13/05/2017 at 17:25
Agree. Take it Mate.

SCdonkey · 13/05/2017 at 17:43
Take the punt on Danger!?!?!#@!
Seriously though, every week i see people asking whether they should take their VC pick score or not. For goodness sake people, you should be setting youself a score that you'll be happy with.
I always set myself for 130+ from my VC 125 may be the borderline. Anything below I'd take a punt on my C for the week.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 18:05
There are many people out there unsure of their own decision making..not sure why, Supercoach requires constant decision making, for 6 months.
I consider that part of the fun and challenge of it….as opposed to constantly asking other people what to do.

SirSamuel016 · 13/05/2017 at 18:38
I have 130+ set, but I had to ask because it's Danger.

JohndJames · 13/05/2017 at 18:47
Take the 135,not sure about Danger at the moment and I'm worried since I do have the C on Danger,had the VC on Bont and he didn't come to the party in the second half of his game

hedski · 13/05/2017 at 18:03
Did the same trades Daniel, time will tell.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 18:07
Sounds good…can't hurt your team, only strengthen it.

Finnius123 · 13/05/2017 at 19:24
I'd be pretty with 147…

Trollolol · 13/05/2017 at 20:01
How about with a multiple month injury ?

Juzzy · 13/05/2017 at 22:38
Am very happy with 147.
Not that happy that his arm almost fell off a few minutes from the final siren.

Neverweaken · 13/05/2017 at 17:40
Who was it

Derek · 13/05/2017 at 18:09
Taranto looking good for a 90

Joshua · 13/05/2017 at 18:06
Dange

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 18:30
I'll say JPK…well you did ask.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 18:14
Just went for a slash…panicked alot of coaches though haha

Stirlsy · 13/05/2017 at 18:32
23 disposals 19 kicks 5 handballs 13 marks 1 tackle 0 hitouts 2 inside 50s 0 goals 1 behind 111 DT points

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 18:33
Impressive!…hopefully he gets a run soon.

hedski · 13/05/2017 at 18:50
Cheers Stirlsy, now come to the party Ross and give him a game f ya.

Saundo · 13/05/2017 at 18:34
Yeah had him since the start, never again!

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 19:03
Nah…I reckon any backman averaging over 90 is worth sticking with

DefyingMadness · 13/05/2017 at 19:17
He isn't averaging over 90 me thinks he has to go

INPieman · 13/05/2017 at 19:30
Zac Williams has stolen his role. He's much more relevant

Mick · 13/05/2017 at 18:38
As you're the expert VC on Merrett or Danger or Joel Selwood?

DacZawson · 13/05/2017 at 19:26
Selwood had a dodgy ankle so I reckon it's out of Merrett and Danger, I'd go Danger for the higher ceiling.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 18:39
I just passed your message onto Patrick Cripps and he said "You're welcome DacZawson" 🙂

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 18:49
I'd bank the 63 rather than risk a 40

Tyruddanaut · 13/05/2017 at 19:49
I want to trade him out next week honestly. He'll only get worse from here with the kidlet coming around

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 19:53
True that mate, I blundered by bringing him in 2 weeks ago too, love to go Pendles to Cripps or maybe Kelly, Mitchell…anyone else!

Captain Risky · 13/05/2017 at 19:21
Same 🙁

Derek · 13/05/2017 at 19:23
Shaw didn't touch it in last quarter. He was running with someone to shut them down. Pity he was 83 at 3/4 time and was looking like 100+. I brought him in as well

Andy · 13/05/2017 at 19:31
Brought him in instead of Rance, not shaw if that was the best move.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 19:30
It was a moot point after Stevie J ruined the Party mate haha, about GWS being over rated and all that…

hedski · 13/05/2017 at 20:05
Yeah just got a pic from my pies mate, was a dick with sunnies and a leather jacket "f#ck Stevie j". Ha.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 20:35
Pies fans must be heartbroken after that cheapass seagull goal at the end.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 19:32
Not to mention many many sleepless nights to come..no more funtime with the missus lol

DefyingMadness · 13/05/2017 at 19:32
Same as Shaw

INPieman · 13/05/2017 at 19:46
Exactly. Shaw & Pendles no longer relevant. Out with the old in with the new

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 19:51
I actually can't believe I traded him in, knowing he was just about to become a dad, what was I thinking?…Brain Fade!

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 19:36
If it's a proper dislocated shoulder, months George….2 to 3

George · 13/05/2017 at 19:38
Oh well…

Cold_Case · 13/05/2017 at 21:22
Yikes. Went from must have to never again in 1 quarter

Captain Risky · 14/05/2017 at 08:46
I was sitting there planning on trades to get him in. Back to the original plan again.

Juzzy · 13/05/2017 at 23:10
Buggered if I know. Seem to have misplaced my medical degree …
Sorry Mate. Your guess is as good as mine. Let's wait for the doctors report with fingers crossed.

George · 14/05/2017 at 07:23
Thanks Juzzy

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 19:59
Very ordinary effort today, if he'd tried 5% harder, Pies would've won, wish I could trade him straight out but have too many other pressing issues.

JohndJames · 13/05/2017 at 19:42
Parsons 0 outscoring Danger 2-,maybe I should have taken Bonts 99.

Joshua · 13/05/2017 at 19:45
Hahaha, lucky I put the C on Doc. How is Kelly doing? I'm out right now can't watch the game until like halfway through the second

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 19:47
Kelly's on 31 points with 5 mins to go in the first Joshua.

JohndJames · 13/05/2017 at 19:48
Kelly playing really well,31 at the moment.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 19:49
I changed the C from Danger to Buddy at the last second John, hope that works out, still hope Danger goes well, but Buddy better lol

JohndJames · 13/05/2017 at 19:59
At the moment you are way ahead,without Buddy even playing yet,I was so close to just taking Bonts 99 then I thought that would be silly,but I was still worried,looks like I was for a reason.

Tyruddanaut · 13/05/2017 at 19:47
When you play it safe with Danger and Bont as VC/C 🙁

TOPHAWK1 · 13/05/2017 at 19:52
Early days for Danger. Will work into the game.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 19:57
Bloody hope so Hawk, My Team's looking like Joe Average so far this week.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 20:10
Not sure mate, maybe they don't have much else on offer?

Northernsoul74 · 13/05/2017 at 20:15
Hurley looks good. Might be my next defender target.

Captain Risky · 13/05/2017 at 20:36
It's a cruel game. I had the C on Merrett , decided last minute to go Danger. That sucks!
At least I have Zerrett, bloody gun!

DefyingMadness · 13/05/2017 at 20:50
Same here I have the captain on him also

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 20:42
I hear ya…prediction was initially 2176…now at about 2050…wahoo!

TOPHAWK1 · 13/05/2017 at 20:45
We are going to roll in the cash Rusty! More like rolling in soiled toilet paper. I have Parsons and he is really becoming a skid mark in my side.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 20:49
Pickett…Mark 2…useless.

Liam · 13/05/2017 at 20:52
Put the C on him right before the bounce, so happy.

Northernsoul74 · 13/05/2017 at 20:40
Beams to Zerrett trade looking good so far. About the way boy thing that's gone right this season.

tom · 13/05/2017 at 20:39
I've had him onfield since Eddy got dropped.

TOPHAWK1 · 13/05/2017 at 20:41
You need to fix your rookies in your forward line. And fast!

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 20:46
You need to get a guy like that,( who has a balls full of blood score of 96 in his first game)…off your field asap as soon as you realize everything after that is heading to shitsville tom.
He scored 96, and then 5 big piles of crap.

JohndJames · 13/05/2017 at 20:43
At least that was one rookie disaster that I missed,already had enough,so there wasn't any room.

Captain Risky · 13/05/2017 at 20:47
Going at 100% efficiency at least…. Yes, It could be worse!

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 21:02
Way to look at the bright side mate haha

JohndJames · 13/05/2017 at 21:15
I also kept them,had other fish to fry,but with the intention of trading them both out next week.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 21:07
Give him another half HAWK, and if he doesn't get to 75 or 80, I'd understand your amicable parting of ways, otherwise, give the big old bastard another chance, then you could get rid of Pendles for someone who'll be able to sleep for the next 2 years 🙂

TOPHAWK1 · 13/05/2017 at 21:19
I don't have Pendles Rusty. I will sleep soundly tonight!

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 21:21
Lucky Hawky bastard!

SCdonkey · 13/05/2017 at 22:38
Meh. I took the gamble putting C on Pendle a gamble i will never do again. Hannan has to go for McInnes and Myers this week and now i have to see if can get enough to get a premo, if not might have to get both McInnes and Myers if they are named next game.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 21:22
I thought Geelong were contenders this year, but they've proved to be extremely unreliable so far, don't rate em at all now.

Tibor · 14/05/2017 at 11:19
Yeah me too, I hear he caught a good size Murray cod this week not sure how many points he gets for that

Joshua · 14/05/2017 at 15:05
A solid 80 surely, Murray Cod are one tough type of fish

JohndJames · 13/05/2017 at 21:26
Do I dare to dream,I was expecting a six goal lose.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 21:30
Believe John, especially after that Oliver goalllllllllllllll

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 22:04
Dare to dream indeed John, your team is gonna beat the premiership favourites !

neil demons delight · 13/05/2017 at 23:23
do we need maxy Pederson doing ok

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 23:33
I'm sure he'll slot straight back in, Neil, when he's ready to come back, Pederson was only ever a fill in for the interim. Might not have ever got another game if not for the dire Ruck circumstances at Melbourne.

Daniel · 14/05/2017 at 01:08
Gawn is still out for a couple… Hope Pederson can keep this up, at least through the bye rounds.

TOPHAWK1 · 13/05/2017 at 22:08
Danger worked into the game. Coaches were freaking out and calling for his head in the first quarter. BANG 110 is OK.

Captain Risky · 13/05/2017 at 22:10
Not a bad night after all, Danger OK, Zerrett and Oliver did good.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 22:14
Especially after he was -2 after one quarter.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 21:49
133 not enough for ya? 🙂

DefyingMadness · 13/05/2017 at 21:55
Yeah it's good but I have him captain so can't I be greedy?

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 22:02
Good night for ya mate..well done with your C choice.

DefyingMadness · 13/05/2017 at 22:04
Thanks mate. He could have gotten more also got like 20 DT points in the last 30 seconds and lost 1 SC. The kids a gun and will be a star in the coming years for sure

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 22:07
111's not terrible though John, go Dees!

JohndJames · 13/05/2017 at 22:16
Yes I'll take that,still can't believe we are beating the Crows on their home deck,just about makes up for last week.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 22:27
Celebration time John!…your guys are good!, and Adelaide aren't as good as they thought they were…:)

neil demons delight · 13/05/2017 at 23:19
think he is the real deal and petracca

Tibor · 14/05/2017 at 11:21
390k this bloke started at, Wow wee oh boy

hedski · 13/05/2017 at 22:24
Menagola??

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 22:25
Nope, he's in Melbourne 🙂

Ja191 · 13/05/2017 at 22:28
Pederson

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 22:29
Got it ja…I'm gonna use him up…and spit him out 🙂

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 22:17
Just move captain glass-shoulders out mate, no emotional attachments…bigger and better things will come. 🙂

JohndJames · 13/05/2017 at 23:51
Hanners has been alright,he's on my watchlist for one of my last mid spots,last three rounds have been nice and consistent.

Holty · 13/05/2017 at 22:38
Who has failed for you Derek?

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 14:53
Not sure Derek but thanks for worrying about my team

DefyingMadness · 13/05/2017 at 22:45
He will be really cheap in a few weeks

Kyle · 13/05/2017 at 22:53
Him and selwood both

Don Drumpf · 14/05/2017 at 13:22
Great timing, brought him in this wk as uber-premo

Kyle · 13/05/2017 at 22:55
My maths is bad lol im projected at 2000 exact with strndica as captain…vc on rocky and sandi on bench. Il be happy with 2200 this week

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 23:30
I think you'll get a very good score this week, defyingmadness.

DefyingMadness · 13/05/2017 at 22:53
How much cash do ya reckon they will bleed?

JohndJames · 13/05/2017 at 23:34
We've made just under 400k between the two of them,so I'm very happy with that,but it's time to let them go,their BE was around 90 each this week,so it should be fairly high next week after they both scored in the 50s.tonight,time for a downgrade or upgrade depending on peoples needs.

DefyingMadness · 14/05/2017 at 01:05
Oh yeah I am trading them out for sure, was just wondering how much they will bleed so I can look at who I want to trade in

Joshua · 13/05/2017 at 22:53
BANG BANG

Kyle · 13/05/2017 at 22:55
Bang bang! Like it mate

Derek · 13/05/2017 at 23:12
Better late than never

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 23:42
If you can afford those two…for those two John, this week, you'll strengthen your side considerably.

JohndJames · 14/05/2017 at 00:07
Money in the bank,just waiting to be used,I've downgraded five out of the last six trades,so time to have a bit of fun.

Juzzy · 14/05/2017 at 01:07
Delayed gratification.
The best part of supercoach.
Have a ball )

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 23:04
Just clicked on his name and….he's averaging 110 after 8 games so what do you think?…glad I got his red headed ass in 3 weeks ago…of course he's the real deal!

Swans2012 · 13/05/2017 at 23:05
Seems to be….but who knows this year

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 23:18
He's proved himself 8 out of 8 rounds, I'll take that, what more does it take to convince you?…sheesh

Daniel · 14/05/2017 at 01:12
If he can back it up round 9, should be a good trade in target. 😉

Swans2012 · 14/05/2017 at 09:39
Nah rusty he is a jet. I'm just bitter I don't have him and hoping he crashes and burns lol

Juzzy · 13/05/2017 at 23:17
Been very hesitant on him Jambak. Only a kid in his second season.
Then again I kept thinking the same about Merret last year and it bit me in the ass.
Russ is right. The stats don't lie.

JohndJames · 13/05/2017 at 23:18
Had Oliver from go,can't believe people still doubt him,he's better than a lot of so called premos.

Tony · 13/05/2017 at 23:44
Yeah, me too. After his JLT form, he was too good to leave out at the price.
I did dump Mark Murphy for him pre-season though, so it's not all good.

JohndJames · 14/05/2017 at 00:00
Can't get them all right Tony.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 23:23
Sometimes, you just have to believe your own eyes, and not listen to anyone else…the kid attacks the ball like a bull. He'll be a good player for many years.

Derek · 13/05/2017 at 23:46
He has some hard nuts around him that helps.

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 23:50
True Derek, and good on them, cause they were dog's nuts about a year ago. couldn't even buy a win. Good on them for smoking Adelaide today.

Tibor · 14/05/2017 at 11:30
Started at 390 k, churned out six straight 100+ games then a ninety something in round seven followed by this weeks outstanding performance. From the start he was doubted, when Gawn fell over he was written off, when Spencer crumbled he was buried, Melbourne now runs no ruckmen at all and lost the hit outs by fifty yes fifty against Adelaide and he is still a star, he was a bargain buy at 390 and he will still be good value if you pick him up at 600. What will he be capable of once last years all Australian ruck returns.

JohndJames · 14/05/2017 at 14:23
Well said Tibor,had Clarry from the start,when I put up my team,people said it looked alright,but why have you got Oliver in there for,I said he would get more game time this year and the times he did play last year he was a gun and at 382,500 he would make a good M8 well at the moment he's my M3.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 15:17
Great call starting with him John, I brought him in for 503 k, but very happy with him staying in, especially after last night's effort 🙂

JohndJames · 14/05/2017 at 17:01
Yes I stuck with him,everyone was telling me to get JOM,Swallow and Beams instead,I did get Beams,but not at the expense of Clarry.

JohndJames · 13/05/2017 at 23:24
Trading them out this coming week was always my plan Russty but was hoping they might have done a bit better,so that at least I had to think about it.

Dogs · 13/05/2017 at 23:56
Got Hampton out this week, often turns into doch next week

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 23:01
Certainly not mate…with scores of 44 and 58, hardly a must have. Try a fallen premo, or left field choice if possible.

Kyle · 13/05/2017 at 23:30
At this stage im gonna bring in bont for rocky, then last 2 spots are going to selwood and sloane. Selwood aceraging about 80 last 3 weeks. Sloanes last 2 games are sub 100. Both gonna be absolute bargains in a few weeks. Will mean my mids will be: danger zerrett bont sloane selwood hanners pendles and Fyfe.

Stephen · 14/05/2017 at 00:15
Pretty shit midfield tbh. Could think of better.

Kyle · 14/05/2017 at 00:18
Not sure if serious..?

Cogla13 · 14/05/2017 at 08:03
Sloan is going to be tagged for the rest of the year and average about 80, why would you bother getting him in now?

Holty · 13/05/2017 at 23:05
Only reason im getting him is bcos there really is not many more options. I feel his js is good though so he does bring a warm body to the bench.

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 00:05
I'll probably get him as well. Only have $300 in the kitty.

Juzzy · 14/05/2017 at 00:53
As insane as this sounds I am contemplating Rocky down to Myers.
My mids are stacked with some loopholey bench cover.
Might be a good time to get a jump on the bye rounds with some decision making cash.
Like your plan though and if you miss Myers I don't think it's gonna hurt you.

Iamme · 13/05/2017 at 23:17
likewise, 2154

Russty_ · 13/05/2017 at 23:34
Not looking too good for me, only about 2100.

Dogs · 13/05/2017 at 23:54
2140 at the moment, that's with Hannan on field, and Selwood, pendles, shaw getting mid 70's.

JohndJames · 14/05/2017 at 00:11
After last week anything over 2000 will do me.

Kyle · 14/05/2017 at 00:13
Around 2200 at this stage. Sundays are never nice to us tho so could be anything by the end of tomorrow..

Tommo09 · 14/05/2017 at 07:46
2040 for me

Captain Risky · 14/05/2017 at 08:43
2230 still. Pretty happy with last nights haul- just 4 in play, Captain on the wrong bloke though- Danger (C) 112, Zerrett 137, Laird 124 & Oliver 142 got me back on track. Probably will go pear shaped again today..

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 03:40
Think u can add Laird Doch Cameron & Lynch too
Those two big Feds when in prime will be scary

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 03:41
Fwds*

smart as s · 14/05/2017 at 08:13
don't want to carry fisher through the byes, he looks like a lost fish out there!

Iamme · 14/05/2017 at 08:38
The golden rule is anything over 125 is an acceptable captaincy score…..Fyfe and especially JPK is overdue for a big one, so I would gamble

Lazza · 14/05/2017 at 09:34
Who changed the Golden Rule ? It's been 130 since time began…

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 10:41
8/10 of my opponents have Danger as their C. I had him as my VC.
I have Fyfe, Buddy and maybe Hanners as C options if I want.
I have my nose in front in all my matches, but we are entering Sucky Sunday.
Do I play safe or not?

SCdonkey · 14/05/2017 at 10:42
It's still is the golden rule, however this season our uber premo for captaincy hasn't produce much for us. 125 is the borderline, 130+ is bonus this year.

BockChoy · 14/05/2017 at 10:33
I've gambled 8 times this year and have only gotten it right twice (the last 2 weeks with 148 and 147 from Rocky). The first 6 times, my C scored less than my VC. Are you happy taking a riskless 112 over a chance this will be not be met?

Bobby · 14/05/2017 at 08:55
home*

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 10:43
He always does. As the grounds get heavier, more stoppages swans get serious, JPK does his best work. I'll be getting him round 12.

Iamme · 14/05/2017 at 10:52
Agree with Derek, he will come good…History tells us he's too good a player not to.

TOPHAWK1 · 14/05/2017 at 11:01
Definately mate. JPK always gets better as the season progresses. He likes the cold wet conditions. A supercoach beast.

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 11:39
Have to remember he is now the Swans Captain. Might take a while to get used to that, but when he does he will lead the Swans from the front. Round 11 bye means I get him round 12.

Tibor · 14/05/2017 at 14:04
He is the absolute premo. Will not let you down. As the season grinds on for many he will just emerge just like every year

INPieman · 14/05/2017 at 10:59
Plenty of people payed 675 for Sloane last week. I'm sure they regret that. Sloane goes on runs then has some poorer games & crashes in price. Happens every year. Priddis usually does as well

TOPHAWK1 · 14/05/2017 at 11:11
I agree Pieman. That is why you never pay top dollar for players after the season commences. Sloane has now demonstrated he has some chinks in his armour and the opportunity to grab him at $575K is not too far away. I will not be picking him after last night regardless of his price. I reckon players that I currently do not have such as Zach Merret, the Bont, Patrick Cripps, and Scott Pendlebury are well ahead of Sloane now. Its just a matter of timing when you grab them. Right now Pendles is a top priority at his ludicrous price. Hopefully the bub arrives this week, so he can put his mind back to playing some good footy.

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 11:33
You have to consider everyone this year for the right price. Gunston a good example, never would have considered him

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 11:12
Sloane wasn't in my best 8 at the start of the year, in the group just below. He would need to be $500k for me to consider him.

TOPHAWK1 · 14/05/2017 at 11:20
I can see why now Derek. Sloane definately no longer in my top 8 calculations and will not entertain him at all now.
I am looking at Pendles this week. I have been holding out and holding out on him, (rode my luck a bit there) but if the baby arrives this week, his mind will be at ease and ready to play serious footy again. I have Treloar on the bench. If Treloar does not come up this week, the straight switch is almost irresistable.

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 11:30
I think Trelor has more than an ankle wrong. Rumours about a tear in his groin I'd be concerned about if true.

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 11:24
I had a look at the top 50 players as at the start of this year and tracked their price movement for 2016.
48/50 at some point during the year fell below their starting price. Docherty and Gawn were the only exceptions.
At their lowest point (prior to round 15) the average drop in price for each position was significantly different.
Defenders -9.4%
Midfields -13.3%
Rucks -5.4%
Forwards -29.8%
I have picked off the defenders first. I now have Adams, Rance, Laird, Shaw, Simpson. Waiting for Docherty.
Will get JPK and Pendles through the byes before turning to the forwards and looking for the Buffaloes.

TOPHAWK1 · 14/05/2017 at 11:39
That is very interesting. The price fluctuations are the highest (by a long shot) by the forward players. I was not aware of that. Luckily I have been focusing on my backline/midfield as well. I started with the Doc, Laird, Adams, and grabbed Shaw 2 weeks ago. I want Simpson and he might be at the right price very shortly. (Have to cull Otten this week and have enough spare cash to swap for Simmo). Not 100% sure on Rance. He is just a bit up and down for my liking. I grabbed Hannebery 3 weeks ago at rock bottom price wise, and hoping to get Pendles on the cheap this week or next.

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 12:33
he gets no help from the rest of the mids
Danger had the same problem with Adelaide club
Too many outside players and not enough grunt to disturb Vince tag.
Was at the game last night and Vince wore him like a handbag

Boltons Blues · 14/05/2017 at 15:02
I had the big C on him last night, he's was given all names under the sun last night, the C was one of them

Wedge · 14/05/2017 at 11:23
I had jpk last week capt and he scored 77. This week selwood for a similar score. Why risk 111 in this environment? I would kill for my capt to score 100

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 11:28
Tag is back.

TOPHAWK1 · 14/05/2017 at 11:27
Danger's 112 is one of those mid range VC scores. Fyfe and JPK could easily surpass that this week. Why not have a ping on Fyfe? Even if he falls short and scores 100, you would not have lost much. Fyfe's ceiling is high and if he has a good day, a score of 150-160 is quite gettable for him. Good luck with your decision.

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 11:28
If either were at home I'd say Fyfe or JPK, but…….. the tag is now a worry.
I have VC on danger and might consider Buddy C

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 11:36
Yep. Went Nank to Buddy last week!

Tibor · 14/05/2017 at 11:54
Who would Richmond use to tag Fyfe? I reckon they might just back their own mids which makes Fyfe a viable captain

BockChoy · 14/05/2017 at 12:18
Lambert has been given the job of tagging most weeks.

Tibor · 14/05/2017 at 12:33
Ta for that il back nat

Ja191 · 14/05/2017 at 12:22
He's still averaging around 110, not as bad as everyone is making him out to be. He'll come good.

Touk tuk · 14/05/2017 at 12:41
Hope so mate.

Kim · 14/05/2017 at 12:57
Clearly distracted by upcoming baby it seems unless playing with a niggle or role change, who knows. I would hold reckon he'll come good after baby is finally born.

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 13:51
i don't think it's the baby lmfao!
I think the hunger is gone. Simple

Kim · 14/05/2017 at 12:56
Everyone's kept claiming Zac Merrett wouldn't keep it up last year and he did. No point trading Oliver unless he gets injured or does put in 3-4 sub 100 games in a row. I think he will keep it going contested beast. Keep him at m8 in the end going far better than both treloar or Pendles at the moment anyway.

Tibor · 14/05/2017 at 14:07
What stops him willow. When there is no ruckman no problem, when the side struggles he still performs it's all upside as Melb get players rucks in particular back and the team is more competitive he just gets better

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 13:52
Fyfe – but you are a bit late….

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 14:02
Yes good trade
Others Martin, Merrrett, Kelly, Viney all hitting there straps now

INPieman · 14/05/2017 at 14:03
Cripps or Zerrett

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 14:09
Indeed but I as well as many just cannot trade off players because of low scores from time to time.
Need my trades to be 9 at the very least after byes

DefyingMadness · 14/05/2017 at 14:13
Same my thoughts exactly

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 14:40
4 disposals so far…bloody spudding it, lift big fella!

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 14:41
Going backwards in sc now holy crap

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 14:55
I've got him and Butler on field..ugh!, there goes the week.

The BONT · 14/05/2017 at 15:38
Not so much UGH he is on fire

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 15:39
Yeah Bont, no Ugh for Nank Tank, just for butler haha

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 15:15
I disagree. He is up against the biggest ruckman in the comp this week and Freo are running the tigers absolutely ragged. Nank is dead on his feet at the moment. He will bounce back next week. Also need to hold as that rd 12 bye is crucial

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 15:54
he was on 53sc at 3/4 time. Came home strong. Will he do that every week. I traded him last out week.

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 14:21
Will go up roughly 10k if that is the case making him 481k
Only thing I know is he has the BE of 78 with a projection 94 and a predicted price change of 4k positive

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 14:47
Looks like he might go higher, on 82 currently, my trades of Otten/Hampton to Berry/Rance looking like netting me @100 points and some nice left over cash, still probably score under 2000 for the third week in a row tho.

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 15:55
Went backward in last 15 mins. Was 110 with 15 mins to go. Brought him in this week

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 14:55
Brad Hill looking good too + DPP.

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 15:25
He scored a 28 two weeks ago – would definitely hold off for a few weeks

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 15:28
Agree Finnuis, looking at Walter's and hill's past score averages doesn't inspire much confidence for me, different story if they can maintain the good scores though, Walters copped a nasty rib injury I think though.

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 17:07
"Role change" the low scores are when he is studding in forward pocket you know?
Maybe not I guess

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 17:28
EVW

Jim_bob321 · 14/05/2017 at 15:18
Mate Nank is getting robbed like crazy

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 15:30
Could ton up, go Nank!!!

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 15:31
Got us a respectable score now..wow, well done big guy, Butler is another story…

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 15:57
Yeah got him on too Russ, sharpening the knives, next week or two.

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 15:36
If he doesn't outscore berry I am going to be annoyed

EatChickenNuggets · 14/05/2017 at 17:57
Outscored him in the first 1/2 already mate, what a beast!!

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 18:03
Just got home and checked, woo hoo..

Tibor · 14/05/2017 at 19:42
Gotta love days like that, what a great game

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 15:35
Oh wow did I speak too soon?

TOPHAWK1 · 14/05/2017 at 15:49
You did……Mundy kicks the winner!

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 15:58
Again Russ…ha ha. Bloody Stevie J and Mundy.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 16:27
Bloody Mundy!…another bad haircut lol

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 16:30
Was actually Neale's fault Tigers lost, with that great gather and delivery to bad haircut boy, I think his points jumped huge for that from what they were.

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 15:35
HOW GOOD IS THAT

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 15:36
Bloody awesome!….heartbreaking for Tigers.

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 15:57
Did Neale get 30 pts for that last clearance?
One of my opponents had him C, that might have just got him home. Wow

Tibor · 14/05/2017 at 19:43
They don't have hearts

SCdonkey · 14/05/2017 at 15:59
You'd be suprised how many asian understands the game mate. I'm a filipino born, grew up here since 1984, went back to my birthplace for the first time in 1998. Was suprised to find some AFL merchandise and some locals were actually talking to me about footy, apparently some games gets televised there,.
As far as i know AFL has been trying to introduce it to asian countries for the past decade or so, we have a lot expat in Asian countries, by looking at the crowds on Port and Suns there are a lot of them at the game watching.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 16:23
Yeah I noticed that, lots of caucasian faces in the crowd, shame gold coast can't seem to make a decent contest of it..and Gazza on 30 points, be good if our game could go international eventually, imaging if the yanks started playing it?

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 16:01
Made in China fans…they'll break at half time.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 16:24
Hahaha, I almost pished myself then 🙂

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 16:12
Will miss Berry's massive 71. Happy that I held Newman for the cash increase

FCAbel · 14/05/2017 at 20:19
Would habe been a ripper

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 16:13
risky. Don't know if he can go big two weeks in a row. Hanners is the safer play – I reckon he is practically a given ton

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 16:22
Has gone huge against the roos before but I reckon Thompson/Tarrant may tame him Fin. (Buddy)

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 16:24
I'm going with Buddy….no risk, no reward

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 16:19
Come on Derek, Simpkin mate, I need 4 points, holding up the bottom of the ladder 😉

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 17:42
Simpkin down. 5pts. Ouch

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 18:06
Injured?? Ive been out.
Might be tight now, think you'll still pip me.

INPieman · 14/05/2017 at 16:33
Buddy in rare form

Dogs · 14/05/2017 at 17:00
I was loophole get berry and Stewart. So far new mans looking good tho, so not even mad

BlueNath · 14/05/2017 at 20:42
Ouch! Bet you wish you didn't see he was a late in now!'

INPieman · 14/05/2017 at 16:32
Sure it will happen. And second time this season. Think Eddy was the last time it happened

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 18:00
I remember well

BrownlowBoy · 14/05/2017 at 19:15
If this was you, I hope you left it on Newman!

INPieman · 14/05/2017 at 16:44
Mid only I think

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 17:06
I stuck him in the guts, are you "Russbeasts"?

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 17:31
Nah Cheese and Clackers

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 18:08
Nice, I like to scroll thru look at team names, there are some funny ones.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 18:24
I brought McVeigh in at half time and the bald asshat hasn't scored a point yet!…asshat!

Col · 14/05/2017 at 16:45
Yes, yes we are very much so plebs
Very well said
I would of, could of, should have chosen a different c option but was caught out in the Mother's Day luncheon
Oh well, happy Mother's Day non the less

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 16:54
It might actually work out for ya Col, he's on 26 now.

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 19:08
Might beat him Pie

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 19:15
Maybe you don't know your porn as well as you think Pieman 🙂

INPieman · 14/05/2017 at 16:46
You been smoking some funny stuff this arvo Russty?

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 16:48
Nah mate haha just wondering, I brought Pederson in last week, not gonna risk Charlie as well 🙂

Tibor · 14/05/2017 at 19:45
I thought it was rule 304

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 16:54
Whoever put the C on him might not be feeling bad at the moment…

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 16:57
Yeah right?….on 30 now.

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 17:13
What!

INPieman · 14/05/2017 at 18:04
He never left. Slow started always. Comes home like a boss

DefyingMadness · 14/05/2017 at 17:11
Same dhjrghurtdejiokehtd

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 17:42
Lol dhnekhbilillknsoh8rh9prhrinjrv m,l;

DefyingMadness · 14/05/2017 at 17:14
I talked myself out of trading Hampton out and moved on Newman last week, not like I even had donut problems also so I am bummed

Rick Grimes · 14/05/2017 at 17:23
I kept Hampton on the basis of a warm body over byes. Knowing sc karma, Hampton will be dropped next week and Newman will go on scoring rampage. Soul destroying stuff.

DefyingMadness · 14/05/2017 at 17:24
Yeah I kept him for the same reason. Didn't want to rely on newmans dodgy job security

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 17:25
I hate Franklin more….Captain, my captain…SPUD!!!

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 17:27
I don't want to say I told you so…
But I told you so

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 17:30
Yeah I know, there is still time though :), fingers crossed tight!

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 17:40
I hope. When C on Buddy as well

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 17:41
Franklin coming

Kim · 14/05/2017 at 18:10
Buddy was never going to go huge 2 weeks in a row. None of the kpp forwards do look at lynch today 28 sc points for gc. Jjk never goes large next week after big week previous game also. Better off going a midfielder.

Rocksta · 14/05/2017 at 17:54
Don't blame him mate.
Blame the Fkr Horse.
I'm stranded with Newman on the bench with the 'E' on him, having to field Steward with a 46.
He's gunna score 130+.
FK you Horse!

JohndJames · 14/05/2017 at 18:07
Better than me,have Melican on the field with Newman on the bench,didn't find out soon enough to do the swap,I usually always check to see if there are any late changes

SCdonkey · 14/05/2017 at 18:09
Same!! My opponent had EVW then switch to Newman. I need Buddy to have a big 2nd half to win the league.

Top Gun · 14/05/2017 at 22:14
Cost me a few hundred places sitting on my bench while oconnor spudded it up.

Juzzy · 15/05/2017 at 00:02
Bad luck Mate.
I had him from the get go but traded him to Parsons last week to avoid a Nank doughnut.
This week thought I had wasted a trade for Parsons 19ish points.
Hope he comes back and scores a ton for you.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 17:48
It's impossible to forsee these things Derek…just plain bad luck.

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 17:54
CRAZY last 3 rounds hey
I smell a big last half for Franklin though. His 2nd quarter he was vintage just no finish with his shots so far.
Hope he can get 110 for us all

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 17:58
Looking very dangerous

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 17:53
His BE is 140 – is a serious chance of reaching that this afternoon

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 17:57
If he scores 120 then he will go up about 50-60k

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 18:45
Hopefully $200k in a month

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 18:13
i'm sitting on 139th…better than usual haha

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 18:14
I would hold Witts but probably not SPP. He isn't worth covering and will be just about his max price unless he goes big in round 10. You will be able to paint the fence with Otten and SPP quite easily – getting taylor adams for otten and Myers for SPP is a good plan IMO

Jim_bob321 · 14/05/2017 at 18:15
SPP will still make u money for a couple more weeks, unless you're covering for bye rounds?

Top Gun · 14/05/2017 at 22:17
Marchbank BE is 47

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 18:25
Same here Pman regarding Kennedy, had him from the start and it's been painful, hope this week is the turnaround.

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 18:30
Sshhh, u know you've just jinxed yourself, the sc gods are PRICKS.

Ben · 14/05/2017 at 18:36
Haha same here, I originally had Newman on bench and put him on field to loophole Berry. Didn't think he was playing but he's currently top scoring Sydney player!

Ja191 · 14/05/2017 at 18:32
we both know who will win that battle

redherringfc · 14/05/2017 at 19:06
ha ha ha. that's gold.

Tibor · 15/05/2017 at 10:21
i doubt either is that good

INPieman · 14/05/2017 at 18:46
To 3/4 time this is one of the all time great rookie performances

FCAbel · 14/05/2017 at 20:23
Strait back.to.the twos. Hes one of titchels mates

Wedge · 14/05/2017 at 18:51
Some people could've been cheering to see their opponent with the C on Newman. Only to then still lose

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 19:18
Yeah…amazing turn of events.

Rocksta · 14/05/2017 at 19:15
I've still got him, but he's sitting on my bench with an 'E' on him.
Horse has cost me near on 110 points this week.
Still, I could of traded him like many others.
No chance he gets dropped next week!

Pman · 14/05/2017 at 19:27
Kept him and had him on ground for Emergency loophole with Berry so am as happy as a pig in shit at the moment as his 152 has given me a come from behind win in my 4 cash leagues, all by margins under 30 points.

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 19:11
Newman??

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 19:13
Hellooo Newman lol

Jim_bob321 · 14/05/2017 at 19:34
Probably will cost the same as hampton…

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 19:10
120*

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 19:13
151 wow

Dianna · 14/05/2017 at 20:58
Most of us who have a life/family etc and not just footy would have missed out. DT better because it is set and forget and you don't compete with nerds who watch/listen to footy all weekend.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 21:07
Maybe you're the nerd Dianna :), maybe some people have forged their own lives,through many years of hard work, and can just watch Footy all weekend. Those people have very good lives ..as opposed to your chaotic life 🙂

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 21:18
Yep, work all week and enjoy the footy and a beer, the family are OK as well I suppose 😉

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 21:24
Fk yeah Hedski!…heres to doing sweet F.A all weekend except watching Footy in the winter time 🙂 cheers bud.

Dianna · 15/05/2017 at 11:17
I feel sorry for you and hopefully you don't have a family.

hedski · 15/05/2017 at 21:13
I feel sorry for your family, whinge whinge whinge.

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 19:10
shocker

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 19:15
O.k see you then 🙂

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 19:23
Have a good night sleep. Regroup in the morning

JohndJames · 14/05/2017 at 19:37
I know how you feel,after Newman being a late in,feel I can't do anything right.

Jay · 14/05/2017 at 19:47
Close the door on your way out

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 19:16
Just dumb luck Brownlow

Derek · 14/05/2017 at 19:22
Why didn't I take my wife out to dinner for Mother's Day and therefore not know about Newman playing….. had the C on him….. but no….. cooked dinner at home and put the C on Buddy.

BrownlowBoy · 14/05/2017 at 19:41
I know its luck, but 150 points of luck is incredible.

Dogs · 14/05/2017 at 19:23
2191, not finalised yet.

TOPHAWK1 · 14/05/2017 at 19:25
I think I will end up with around 2200. By no means a break out score, but solid. Hoping to move up a little up the rankings with that.

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 19:31
2080, better than my 1850 last 2 weeks.
Parker is back.
Edit 2074

Randomcliche2 · 15/05/2017 at 11:47
'around par' lols

JohndJames · 14/05/2017 at 20:34
2023 for me,with Newman on the bench,could have had another 120pts if I was on the ball,won't even be in the top 10,000 after that score.

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 19:57
Ya got me well played sir

David · 14/05/2017 at 19:39
I traded him out then back in when he was dropped the first time for a quick cash grab. Just had a feeling about… The same feeling I had about Yeo. Not on field though…

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 10:22
You used two trades on an unproven rookie named as emergency with poor job security?
I hate this game.

INPieman · 14/05/2017 at 20:10
Due to Hampton & Stewart playing the same time I put the E on Hampton & hoped Newman would get a late call up. As a result I won 2 cash league matches I shouldn't of. The other person had the VC on Danger & C on Newman & that made a difference & a loss. So much luck involved in this game

Babo · 14/05/2017 at 20:12
C on Newman.. how ironic. Nice one.

SCdonkey · 15/05/2017 at 10:05
Yep!! So much luck for others. Not much luck for some! VC and C for me this year has been syet! The upside only drop sub 2000 points once.

Tyruddanaut · 14/05/2017 at 20:13
Not great for all of us. Had him C for loophole purposes but then went for a gamble with Danger and moved him into the bench. If only…

Pman · 14/05/2017 at 19:47
Enjoyed the same slice of luck as loopholed with Berry…about time we had some good luck in light of recent bad scoring weeks.

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 21:24
Sshhh.

TOPHAWK1 · 14/05/2017 at 20:00
There will be, and they will brag about it for the rest of the year. What a "Shark move" that was!!
Did that coach known as "One Touch Wonder" call that one this week by any chance?

INPieman · 14/05/2017 at 20:05
I lost a cash league match because of it. He was taking Danger's score & I lost by 12

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 21:25
Don't stress Pie, I'm yet to pop my cherry in JR Cashy.

DTWanderer · 15/05/2017 at 11:13
A mate who lives in London didn't wake up in time to take the C off Newman…. C#nt

Cogla13 · 14/05/2017 at 20:30
cry baby

Billioux · 14/05/2017 at 20:33
How u figure that?

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 19:46
-95

Jim_bob321 · 14/05/2017 at 19:48
Everyone is going to have him…

DefyingMadness · 14/05/2017 at 19:53
Nope lots of people traded him out

trader · 14/05/2017 at 20:00
I played him on field……shocker

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 20:04
29.3% ownership – not that high..

Bells · 14/05/2017 at 20:02
Horse will drop him for giving away that goal to Hrvatski.

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 21:27
I didn't Kick a goal

INPieman · 14/05/2017 at 20:02
Negative D6 lock if he keeps his spot

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 20:03
29.3% ownership

Tommo09 · 14/05/2017 at 20:03
-45

Jim_bob321 · 14/05/2017 at 20:05
Would u guys suggest Hampton to Newman?

Dean · 14/05/2017 at 20:17
To trade out Hampton to bring in Newman at over $300k is absolutely absurd despite his break even being -60 odd

Alex · 15/05/2017 at 12:05
Yes great trade Jim!

Tyruddanaut · 14/05/2017 at 20:15
458

Big fact hunt · 14/05/2017 at 20:18
Be will be give or take -20 for next week. Could tell you exact but don't have calculator with me at moment. If you have him you will make plenty with the 3price rises he gets from 150

Wedge · 14/05/2017 at 22:39
-20 for the win

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 21:39
Don't need to guess, don't you have supercoach gold?

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 19:59
-15 I would have had the sweet win

Pman · 14/05/2017 at 19:58
I scpred 2151 which I'm happy about as I'll win 7/8 leagues however the one score that did beat me was a massive 2449!

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 20:02
I saw some guy commented on a doctor supercoach post that got 2503!

Dean · 14/05/2017 at 20:13
I know someone who was 2399 prior to scaling and he had Newman benched, so top score will be 2400+

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 20:27
Hampton will have a higher BE than butler – I would be keeping Otten and be getting rid Butler and Hampton

Danners · 14/05/2017 at 21:31
JPK, looks to have found his form again

Lazza · 15/05/2017 at 12:52
That's what a few said on here about Shaw when he cracked his ton a couple of weeks back …. I'd wait and see ….

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 20:42
Can't disagree with that mate

Cogla13 · 15/05/2017 at 09:24
Butler has the round 12 bye which is handy.

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:32
As a tigers supporter i'd say butler will be lucky to hold his spot next week. We have Bolton, Lennon, Lloyd sitting in the VFL playing hard for a small forward game. I suspect theyll get it this week.

Doggy · 15/05/2017 at 10:56
Only problem I was going to go often and spp to Myers and Adams , now I want to keep spp. But don't have any swing options to get Myers, and no other bubble boys this week.

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 20:41
thats worse than a 1 min in injury. I just about hear a mistake like this every season, sry to hear mate

frogger · 14/05/2017 at 22:19
Bad luck, mate, it's a shocking feeling, did something similar myself. You can't change it now and at least you've got Newman's cash generation – others had already traded him out and you will have that advantage over them.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 22:22
Should've started Sandi onfield, the loophole crap is basically cheating anyway…I hope they outlaw loopholing out of the game.

DefyingMadness · 14/05/2017 at 20:06
Found a 2394 in one of my leagues

Billioux · 14/05/2017 at 20:10
2356 from Frankie Nemesis in one of my leagues. He was ranked 14th prior to this round. Reckon he gonna be right there.

TOPHAWK1 · 14/05/2017 at 20:14
2369 in one of my leagues. Team called the Bluebaggers.

Dean · 14/05/2017 at 20:09
Mate you will be top 30 for sure with that score

Ryan · 14/05/2017 at 20:18
You really think so! Ive never been in the top 1000 how did you go

TOPHAWK1 · 14/05/2017 at 20:22
Geez, you will be close to top 10 after that effort. Great stuff.

INPieman · 14/05/2017 at 20:29
Well done Ryan. But hoping to get through a season with Rocky is fools gold. But you should thank him for his services & the fact he didn't do that early game. You can now go to anyone

Ryan · 14/05/2017 at 20:33
The bont I think hoping treloar is back next week

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 21:43
Forget about that punk, Treloar I mean, he's a sloppy D/E fkface.

Top Gun · 15/05/2017 at 12:46
Congrsts. It's a tough season. Slipped to 1300s 🙁

Cocko · 14/05/2017 at 20:13
Was hoping ave was about 1500

INPieman · 14/05/2017 at 20:36
Same Cocko. But like every Sunday night I'm hearing about all these 2975+ scores. From what I've seen 2100 is par, 2200 good score & 2300+ excellent score

JohndJames · 14/05/2017 at 20:37
2023 with Newman on the bench.

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 20:38
2241 with butless and perhaps JJ giving me a turd

Goat · 14/05/2017 at 20:38
Goat had a disaster rd. 1988. Newman on bench. Sloan as Cap. Parsons on field… Lynch…
At least there is a new week and cash being made on bench….:)

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 20:39
Thats it Goat bounce back mate

Iamme · 14/05/2017 at 20:53
2152 with Newman on the pine without an E against his name…like most of us who still have him.

Ryan · 14/05/2017 at 20:57
Got newmans score by luck having looped berry lucky!

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 21:14
2123, with Fkface Buddy as Captain.

poloko48 · 14/05/2017 at 22:59
Feel your pain mate, had VC on Danger but went with Bud due to his record against Nth, unfortunately he couldn't hold his marks today. At least you cracked 2K, I've now had my third straight week of sub 2K….and have dropped to an embarrassing 50K overall.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 23:46
yeah Poloko, he didn't deliver the goods for us today, bummer but he's still worth keeping cause sydney look like theyr'e improving.

Captain Risky · 14/05/2017 at 22:42
2282 with Butler and Williamson on the field, Danger as C. Got Newmans score by trying to loophole Berry which was a unexpected bonus.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 22:52
That's huge!, how many places did you advance in the rankings?

Captain Risky · 14/05/2017 at 23:07
Up 764 to 889.
8 weeks without a VC to loophole and some ordinary Capt scores is killing me a bit but I can't complain really.

Dan · 14/05/2017 at 23:42
2412, 114 overall for the week.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 23:47
Nice effort Dan…kickin some ass with that score.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 21:11
Got 2123, won 7 out of 10 leagues, not good, but not bad either.

Mark · 14/05/2017 at 21:11
Scored 2001

hedski · 14/05/2017 at 21:37
1855, 1849, 2074.
Thank fk got a bit of mojo back this week Steeeve, still pretty ordinary, thought Fisher would cover Treloar a bit better than that.

frogger · 14/05/2017 at 22:06
Yeah, me, too. Was king of the kids a few weeks back, finished 2nd/3rd on the round and was top 50 overall, now out to 9k-odd.
Hope it turns for you, am assuming you got hit by some of Beams / Treloar / Greene / Nank along the way there.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 22:15
No Steve, you must just be crap :)…just kidding. you'll bounce back.

Steeeve · 15/05/2017 at 11:34
Hoping so mate — some terrible captain choices (not so DePendlebury apparently) and having to play Hannan and Parsons on field for two weeks straight has really killed me.
Upgrading a spud this week. Not sure if it will be Eddy, Hannan or Pickett. All such awful, awful spuds. Then I have Butler losing cash as well, but I need anyone who is actually playing up forward.

Jim_bob321 · 14/05/2017 at 21:11
Do u know WHE BE? Thinking of upgrading him but just wanna see his BE
Cheers

CoachDamo · 14/05/2017 at 21:12
89.

Jim_bob321 · 14/05/2017 at 21:15
Ok thanks…. Need a shark move to upgrade WHE…. Heeney?…
Everyone has JJK

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 21:18
20% have Kennedy, one fifth of …everybody

Wedge · 14/05/2017 at 22:44
Heeney ownership to rise fast I imagine

BlueNath · 14/05/2017 at 21:19
HAVE TO? Both have relatively low be's and should see you through(/up to their) the bye rounds. Sure you MUST trade this week? If so, I would hold both and look elsewhere

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 21:33
I have 7 forward eligible players. I do not want one of them to end up in my midfield, as I would like a forward line full of guns. Due to that being the case, either Steele or Witts needs to go – I can through Nank in the ruck and get rid of witts (this week), or hold onto Steele until his bye and then burn him.

Stanks21 · 14/05/2017 at 21:55
Your an idiot if your even considering getting rid of steele. He is getting better every week!

Wedge · 14/05/2017 at 22:28
If you have a mid that's fwd eligible and all fwds with mid eligibility that'll be gold come bye weeks and years end. So often people are struggling with trades in the last weeks and minimum bench cover. Could be the difference in a league final

pod · 15/05/2017 at 06:35
Keep Steele

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:37
Maybe a late year trade from witts to Gawn or NicNat could be a sneaky win?

BlueNath · 14/05/2017 at 21:15
No wait!! We can talk about this.

redgumwon · 14/05/2017 at 21:16
Was on the news tonight in a moon boot

Joshua · 14/05/2017 at 21:21
Serious injury? As in missing weeks?

redgumwon · 14/05/2017 at 21:33
Yeah channel 9 sports news. Said it was precautionary after the GWS game. Just keep an eye on him this week, It might be something or maybe not?

Whitey · 14/05/2017 at 22:04
Didn't see that… reveeeeeerse. Cheers.

Deeboss · 14/05/2017 at 21:24
Greeney

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 21:26
Lol, take the guy who doesn't get suspended 3 times a year.

Danners · 14/05/2017 at 21:29
Heeney looks to be the real deal if you don't have too many Sydney players

redherringfc · 14/05/2017 at 21:54
Podcast last week, half suggested Heeney. Glad I got on board.
I think Greene fell away late last year, he's a no from me.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 22:12
Greene is good, but always has to prove he's a tough guy, shortass syndrome.

KillaJulz · 14/05/2017 at 22:26
Got a sh**load of Sydney players but looking like I might tank week 11 since I'm mainly playing for h2h– so Heeney it is

pod · 15/05/2017 at 06:20
Heeney all day

Iamme · 14/05/2017 at 21:30
22 just like a normal week

redherringfc · 14/05/2017 at 21:52
The powers that be obviously realise Port and GC are completely irrelevant in SC this year.

Tyruddanaut · 14/05/2017 at 21:32
Pendles is going to score 30 less a round mark my words

Tibor · 14/05/2017 at 22:20
Wow who the bloody hell said, Hey I've got this great idea for an add……….

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 22:32
A typical soulless scumbag advertising executive Tibor..the poor guy only probably made a grand out of it.

pod · 15/05/2017 at 06:19
Really? Take a Bex and have a nap mate.

Bock Choy · 15/05/2017 at 13:31
I understand this is an American ad which has been voiced over for Australia.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 21:57
Bad idea…why are you doing that?…is he injured?

frogger · 14/05/2017 at 22:08
Would depend on the trade, but honestly, I'd hold. Not injured and hopefully won't be that starved for supply again so soon.

redherringfc · 14/05/2017 at 21:45
Think i might have you as a matchup next week. My suggestion is go for a smokey. Have you considered Matera?

Wedge · 14/05/2017 at 22:33
Fresh from a holiday breathing in the smokey China air.

Joshua · 14/05/2017 at 21:46
I've got all except Oliver. Go Clayton to make me jealous

Tibor · 14/05/2017 at 22:18
Finally this is the company Oliver does properly sit with. Surely the doubters are finally silenced. Some of us stole this kid at 382500

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 22:23
Sometimes it takes 8 or 9 rounds for people to believe what's in front of their eyes.

Wedge · 14/05/2017 at 22:36
I still expect him to hit a wall at some stage. If he gets through the year at this average lock him in for a future brownlow

pod · 15/05/2017 at 06:35
The Bont

Bock Choy · 15/05/2017 at 13:34
The Bont has a RD11 bye. I want to bring him and Macrae in but will hold off as it will upset my team for that week.

redgumwon · 14/05/2017 at 21:45
Pepper Powell may still come in handy in the bye rounds? His BE is still ok to hold if you can?

Joshua · 14/05/2017 at 21:46
Powell

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 21:56
Maybe one of them, maybe both, maybe neither of them…maybe……

Terry · 14/05/2017 at 21:45
ok

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 21:50
So..you'll be well out of trades by the time finals comes around?…hope no one gets injured then.

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 21:48
bad

The BONT · 14/05/2017 at 21:50
why

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 21:54
Start making up your own mind…and you might learn how to be a better, independent coach. The best part of Supercoach is making your OWN decisions.

The BONT · 14/05/2017 at 21:58
Thanks Russty

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 22:02
Awww, you made me feel bad now, I think stick with Lynch BONT…he's a good player.

Kyle · 14/05/2017 at 22:04
Bad. Why would you trade out lynch? Forget whatever coin he will lose. Doesnt matter for a keeper if they lose 200k or gain 200k. There staying so price is irrelevant.
He is gonna have low scores or 30 or 40. But he also can pump out 160s to compensate. Hes gonna be one of the top forwards by years end. A huge mistake imo to trade him out.

Top Gun · 14/05/2017 at 23:08
Too much of a sideways trade…not enough to gain

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 21:55
Not sure….let me get back to you…………….

SF4 · 14/05/2017 at 22:27
Ross is a great POD, take the punt I reckon.

Top Gun · 14/05/2017 at 23:07
Cripps….going to kill it in now he's not injured anymore

pod · 15/05/2017 at 06:21
Cripps

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 22:19
Who are Olive and Robinson? just make sure you have trades left for the last 3 weeks and the first 3 weeks of finals, many dreams have been crushed from having no trades in finals when dudes go down with injury.

Goat · 15/05/2017 at 08:06
Don't trade premiums unless injured. I asked the same question about JPK last week.

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:12
Bet youre glad you didnt.

frogger · 14/05/2017 at 22:13
What would be the purpose? Do you think there will be a significant enough scoring differential to make it worthwhile (e.g. 10pts/rd)? Bye structure?
Personally wouldn't.

SF4 · 14/05/2017 at 22:26
Yep

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 22:28
Try to keep them both andy, rather than trade one for the other.

andy · 14/05/2017 at 22:42
ok thanks russty

Derek · 15/05/2017 at 08:26
Yes

Finnius123 · 14/05/2017 at 22:24
yeah

SF4 · 14/05/2017 at 22:26
Yes

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 22:09
Get rid of Parsons

Stanks21 · 14/05/2017 at 22:26
Don't think that is worth a trade at this point.. I know he is playing real bad but how could I possibly gain anything from doing it atm…

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 22:29
To avoid a doughnut, when he gets dropped, I guess, only if he gets dropped and you need a warm body in the fwd line.

The G Train · 14/05/2017 at 22:34
I too have parsons at FWD 6 (moved nank to the ruck to cover witts) and am prepared to cop a 0 if he is not named as I want to trade out butler and ottens. Not that he'd do much better than a 0 even if he is named

Billioux · 14/05/2017 at 23:02
Agreed.

Juzzy · 15/05/2017 at 00:20
Not sure I agree Defy.
SPP vs a premo mid could mean an extra 50 points per week (100 next week).
I am pushing my own barrow here 'cos I traded him out this week, and I agree that he would be more than handy during the byes, but I am not sure his scoring will get the job done vs a quality mid on cumulative scores regardless of the byes.

Juzzy · 15/05/2017 at 00:28
Be careful advertising this Top Gun.
Best of luck to your wifes team.

Top Gun · 15/05/2017 at 12:48
It 's ok. I never win. Lol

DefyingMadness · 14/05/2017 at 22:42
I did this last week but still a solid trade

pod · 15/05/2017 at 06:32
Bang

DavidSA · 14/05/2017 at 22:47
your connecting sc scores as a measure of worth to a player!!??!!
Urgh

BigBoyBananana · 14/05/2017 at 22:54
I'm sure that's how it works David from South Australia, didn't you know that Jarrad Waite is going to get $10M on his next contract due to his 147 Supercoach average!

Top Gun · 14/05/2017 at 23:03
Would welcome him with open arms to the Saints.

gator59 · 14/05/2017 at 23:09
We sure will Top Gun

BigBoyBananana · 14/05/2017 at 22:52
Brad scheer from Gold Coast but i would 'scheer' clear of him

frogger · 14/05/2017 at 23:40
Scheer with the bye, though, so remains on bubble rd 10, too.

frogger · 14/05/2017 at 23:50
Sam Durdin for North (had one game early, then played this week). Scheer already covered.
McNiece if named for Bombers. Cedrix Cox (Bris), Ben Long (St K), again, only if named.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 22:59
Trade someone else out.

2197 without, lost my cash league game by 20odd to Newman & Co. Damn straight, 2 results, those with him, win, those without lose.

INPieman · 15/05/2017 at 09:21
He was extremely influential in results that's for sure

JohndJames · 14/05/2017 at 23:37
I would be looking at trading Hannan for Heeney

musicissport · 15/05/2017 at 18:44
Would love to but already skinny in r11 for players.

Juzzy · 14/05/2017 at 23:47
If you had Nank as ruck cover from the get go then this is when you use him.
Thinking a premo in the midfield might be good but as your rooks are all making money would't know who to ditch.

Russty_ · 14/05/2017 at 23:55
Sounds like some good choices John, should strengthen your team considerably, and then wait to see what pans out..injuries etc…chances are by then, you'll be ahead of whoever you're up against, so , you won't have to make any sudden trades.

JohndJames · 15/05/2017 at 01:01
Thank's Russty it will be a change upgrading instead of downgrading like I have for six out of my last seven trades,Parsons was probably more of a rage trade than anything,what a spud,but I needed cheering up after my stuff up with Newman.

JohndJames · 15/05/2017 at 01:18
I have to second that as far as the byes go,that round 11 is just terrible,even if I bring in players that don't have a bye then,it really won't make a lot of difference,was hoping to have an even spread but might just have to throw round 11,which won't be hard.

Russty_ · 15/05/2017 at 00:02
Forget about the new baby-daddy, his missus will be trying her best to make him focus all his attention on that, rather than his footy.

JohndJames · 15/05/2017 at 01:08
Neither just for now.I'm bringing in Hanners and Mitch this week,they look the goods at the moment.

pod · 15/05/2017 at 06:23
Agree, wait and see for Pendles

Northernsoul74 · 15/05/2017 at 07:44
I'm not regretting bringing in Zerrett last week. Could look at him.

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:54
Im worried about both. Had a plan to bring both in post byes but i think teams are starting to work sloan out with the hard tag and its bloody hurting him. And Pendlebury is less than interested in football at the moment.

pod · 15/05/2017 at 06:41
Who else do you have in Def.

NickMacMan · 15/05/2017 at 09:15
i also want an answer to this

pod · 15/05/2017 at 09:19
Heeney. He's cheaper, plays midfield and is on the way up. Only concern is the bye.

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:21
Yeo is the real deal this year, problem is i think those of us without him have missed the boat and id rather not conceed 150k to those that had him.
Heeney looooks like playing considerable amount of midfield time, if i didnt already have 3 rd 11 byes in my forward line i'd trade him in. It's easy to forget that basically all of us had him in our starting line up before rd 1, he's a freak and we already knew that, hopefully the glandula fever stays away.

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:12
I will ride hampton through this week also, he's break even is now 71 so hoping that he won't leak alot of cash in one week.

Jim_bob321 · 15/05/2017 at 09:15
But do u like those trades? Kelly has a low BE…. not many people have him

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:18
I started with Kelly in my team. Personally i think he's an absolute gun, great by hand and foot, tackles hard and has a big tank. With some key stars out of the GWS side, he's currently their number 1 midfielder. If you watch closely players want to give him the ball whenever they can, similarly to dustin martin. If you're after a POD i think he'll average 108-109 for the year.
Providing you can handle another rd 13 bye, I like the trades.

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:57
Trade*
Not so sure about going early on James Stewart – refer to Mitch Hannan.

Jim_bob321 · 15/05/2017 at 10:20
Just thinking, who could be a prime downgrade target from WHE apart from Stewart in order for me to get Josh Kelly?
Daniel Lloyd?

Thomas · 15/05/2017 at 12:30
Correct me if im wrong, but he was referring to people who brought in Mitch Hannan after his 96 in round 1. hasnt scored above 55 since.

Derek · 15/05/2017 at 09:19
the problem is, for every mid-price winner, there are 10 mid-price losers
i have had about a 1:10 winner:loser ratio over the years.

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:30
I agree, keep in mind the losers.
Hrovat, JOM, Swallow, BMurphy, Watson, Caddy, Miller, Roughy, Jmartin, Mills, Kolodjahnij, Carlisle, Weitering
You get my point.

Tibor · 15/05/2017 at 10:29
Mid price options are always ok if you get the right ones. They stand out a bit more this year due to some pretty average rookie outputs

INPieman · 15/05/2017 at 09:06
2 more weeks from Newman would be perfect

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:07
Good thing we'll get them.

Derek · 15/05/2017 at 09:20
yes, for those who already have him. But no-one will pay $322k for him now.

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:09
Also, id question poor js, surely this was enough for some coaches eyes to be opened and realise how good he actually is. Based only on his average he's a top 10 defender at the moment.

DefyingMadness · 15/05/2017 at 10:18
I would not be surprised if he plays 1 more game and gets dropped

Bells · 15/05/2017 at 11:52
Newman will fill the hole left by McV who is out with hammy. Fair JS as long as he isn't defending close to goal.
Rampe will come in for Melican or Marsh. Melican prob due a rest.

Mash · 15/05/2017 at 09:01
SPP has a bye probably get rid of him

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:11
I'd disagree, depending on your teams bye structure at the moment. He can be a handy 70 points to play on field during the first one or two byes if you're struggling, also with a BE of 54 he still a litte cash left in him.

Touk tuk · 15/05/2017 at 09:21
Agree… holding SPP

TOPHAWK1 · 15/05/2017 at 09:16
Keep SSP. Unless your team 3+ Gold Coast /Port players. If this is not the case just put SPP on the bench. His BE is low at 54. Parfitt is the first bloke that has to go. Will not play again for at least 8 weeks. Trade him out of your midfield for a bubble boy. Myers? That trade would increase your coffers to around $140K for a fallen premo upgrade. Either Hampton or Butler, depending on your structures and byes scenario. Both have quite high BE's and are both bleeding cash now. (71 and 70 respectively). Trading out either would give you around $430K to snare a fallen premo. (although you might struggle to find one at that price). Otherwise you can go down to another bubbleboy this week and go 2 premo upgrades next week. Good luck mate.

Banga · 15/05/2017 at 09:24
Thanks for the response mate. I was originally thinking Butler down to myers (via balic DPP) and Hampton to maybe Mcinnes if named which leaves me with 300k to upgrade parfitt to a fallen premo next week. Thought that pariftt isnt bleeding cash and if treloar is named, i have cover so don't need to trade yet. Although all it takes is one big score and they rise in cash again.

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:49
How do you still have JOM?
They're all good options, im going with JPK because im okay with the rd 11 bye at this stage, also he's dirt cheap for the 5th(?) best mid in the game.

VARC · 15/05/2017 at 10:00
Haven't been able to get rid of him due to other problems and/or injuries (e.g. would have punted him in the week Parfitt got injured) and given he isn't losing value whilst not playing have been able to hold him whilst waiting for a mid on the bubble.
JPK certainly appearing the most attractive, worried that Butler will get the axe this week and I'll be left with a donut if Balic doesn't come back in – that might force my hand somewhat.

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 10:24
Yeah i think butler will get the chop. We have sam lloyd kicking 3-4 a game in the vfl, obvious replacement, or even shia bolton has been solid.
Have you considered heeney? looks the goods

Cole · 15/05/2017 at 10:30
I'm bringing in heeney and fully stacking my forward line myself

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:24
Same 🙁

Harry H · 15/05/2017 at 09:47
Yep I lost my league game by all of 10 points and had Newman on the pine

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 09:52
Fraser McInnes played his first for West Coast this week and played alot in the ruck. Might be their answer to Lycett and NicNats injuries. He's at a higher 155k price but is a watch this week to see how he goes against Essendons underwhelming rucks.

Northernsoul74 · 15/05/2017 at 10:06
Yeah I'm desperate for someone to downgrade Hampton to.

INPieman · 15/05/2017 at 10:20
I noticed McInnes shared the Ruck with Vardy as well. Have to keep an eye on that. If he stays in the team he could be handy. Can't pick him before his bubble breaks

INPieman · 15/05/2017 at 09:56
Who knows what Ross will do with Balic. Another nervous wait for us owners. Parsons will be lucky to hold his place & his BE is now more than what he has scored in the last 2 weeks. Looks like yet another failed rookie! I've got Balic Parson's & Eddy in my forward line & it's a sad sight. The need to find value & creativity has never been greater Rick

pod · 15/05/2017 at 10:04
Newman is top 10 defender, ha who would of thought?

DefyingMadness · 15/05/2017 at 10:17
Wont be for long

Rivo · 15/05/2017 at 10:12
Bad trade. Hold promos for now, Shaw should still finish Top 10 Def.

Tibor · 15/05/2017 at 10:26
If you do that you are effectively writing heater off as a premo. If your sure about it do it but maybe you have more pressing needs. I'm frustrated with heater too but big call to burn A trade going sideways

Dildor · 15/05/2017 at 10:10
Be wary, 2 good scores don't make up for 8 years of junk.
refer to 2016 scores: http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pg-fremantle-d…

INPieman · 15/05/2017 at 10:14
Agree with Dildor. Think Matera & his 2 good games

Rick Grimes · 15/05/2017 at 10:51
I'm down to 18. My team's going ok, but my cash generation is putrid. Im what you call asset rich, cash poor.

Cole · 15/05/2017 at 10:28
Probably butler and Hannan

INPieman · 15/05/2017 at 11:13
Butler & Hannan. Maybe WHE next week. Parsons hasn't made enough

Curious George · 15/05/2017 at 11:32
Neither has Hannan but he is a crap rookie.

INPieman · 15/05/2017 at 11:06
I got rid of Pickett last week for Mutimer. A great feeling of satisfaction. I just have to hope Mutimer holds his spot

Northerner · 15/05/2017 at 17:10
Nelson and Cripps will put pressure on him, but could also get another out with injury before then. He looks solid and composed with the footy.

James · 15/05/2017 at 11:07
Yep it's always a nice feeling when you purge your system of certain undesirable elements. Wish I could do a colon cleanse with Mountford, Hannan, Parsons and Eddy. 🙁

Tibor · 15/05/2017 at 11:23
I've still got eddy and Joel smith too so I'm hitting the bran pretty hard

Eric · 15/05/2017 at 11:29
Sheesh you still have Smith?! What the??

Ben · 15/05/2017 at 11:37
Good trade. I'm going Pickett to Myers this round. Holding SPP for now too.. I figure it's more useful to have players that are actually playing to get through the byes.

Stinga · 15/05/2017 at 10:45
I've got the same question ! Yeo or Heeney? Already got 3 sydney players as well (Franklin, Lloyd, Newman)

FEARTHEBEARD · 15/05/2017 at 11:14
Hrmm I've only got Newman and JPK

Ja191 · 15/05/2017 at 11:15
Henney for me, kids a gun. Would say yeo but he's too expensive for me

Tibor · 15/05/2017 at 10:52
I really rate hunt but it was a big hit and he was out for a little while, Melbourne are one of the most careful clubs with concussion so I'd be surprised if he didn't miss one game. Melbourne bye is in the first multiple bye week so the week after might be the right time if you can wait that long

Henry · 15/05/2017 at 10:55
thanks mate!

INPieman · 15/05/2017 at 11:15
I am considering it. But his number's from the 10 previous seasons make me extremely nervous. Could be a great pick if he can keep up the numbers. But history suggest it's a likely trap

Bock Choy · 15/05/2017 at 11:32
I've used Harbrow in previous seasons – generally a good scorer BUT kept getting tripped up with injuries and never really came back. He does look fit now and looks like he can keep this momentum up.

Lazza · 15/05/2017 at 12:57
I'd only take that move if all my other positions were full with Premo's…. fill the gaps then move out the poor performing premos … right now you are getting what you paid for … which is better than quite a few others …

sfg · 15/05/2017 at 13:19
I'd upgrade him later on in the season. Also Adelaide are playing a crippled brisbane this week

Stav · 15/05/2017 at 20:40
Thanks Lazza and sfg

Rick Grimes · 15/05/2017 at 13:55
Trap.

Tyruddanaut · 15/05/2017 at 17:59
Why would you say that. It's just a role change
