Round 10 Supercoach Panic Room
Due to a scheduling error, there will be no introduction this week..
This scheduling error is the fault of the AFL, who insist Thursday Night Football is a good idea despite its horrific implications for fantasy football. IT’S LIKE THEY DON’T EVEN CARE.
Anyway, there’s no time for an intro. This week is ‘nothing at all’… nothing but PANIC
Stupid sexy panicking.
THE NEWS
Absolutely bloody carnage this week, for the potatoes this week at least.
Aaron Sandilands will miss this week, and could possibly miss more according to whispers on twitter. I trust whispers on twitter about as much as I can throw Sandiballs, which safe to say isn’t very far.
Absolute superstar and potential Supercoach GOAT Gary Ablett will miss his first game for the year with a shoulder niggle. However, the Suns regain David Swallow and Pearce Hanley.
Nick Riewoldt will also be rested this week after suffering an injury called ‘old age’. As a young whippersnapper, I have no experience with the knobbly knees and awkward ankles of old men. However it’s safe to assume he’ll be out somewhere between a week and 40-odd years.
West Coast rookies Fraser McInnes and Kurt Murtimer have been dropped following the beautiful shellacking of the Eagles by a rampaging Essendon, in which Zach Merrett racked up 37 of the most sublime, arousing disposals you’ll ever see in yo- oh right, sorry. Where was I? West Coast are bad. Also they’ve dropped our rookies.
Hawthorn have heard the call and will be debuting two kids this week, with James Cousins and the exquisitely named Dallas Willsmore to play their first games. Although it’s a bit useless now none of us have trades left. THANKS, OBAMA CLARKO.
Curly Hampton and Jordan Gallucci have made way for the Crows, with Hampton sidelined by an ankle injury. If you have still got him, flick him now.
North big man Brayden Pruess is back this week, just in time for the 15% lucky enough to have him as cover for Sandi *mutters curses under breath*. However, for owners of Todd Goldstein, this is bad news. In other rookie ruck news, Tim English will debut.
Speaking of, Archie Smith has been named on an extended bench. Say hello to a Stefan Martin price drop if he plays.
The rest of the news is pretty much irrelevant, unless you’ve been collecting Collingwood discards, as Daisy Thomas, Sharrod Wellingham and Travis Cloke will both miss.
Also shoutout to Lek for posting the teams on Twitter the second they drop. Makes my life in hostel wifi so much easier than opening every club’s website at 6.25pm AEST.
SECOND LAST ROUND TO QUALIFY FOR THE $10,000 COACHKINGS QUARTER FINAL! VENUES HERE.
EVERYTHING’S DIGGING UP MILHOUSE
Mobile sites make it incredibly annoying to check breakevens, and don’t even start me on the Supercoach app. So here’s an abridged breakevens corner.
EVERYTHING’S COMING UP MILHOUSE
You bet your bottom dollar it isn’t. Only three rookies are on the bubble this week, those being James Stewart, Daniel Lloyd and the returning Cedric Cox. I wouldn’t touch any of them with a barge pole, and would go early on Hugh Greenwood instead if you need to downgrade.
DIG UP, STUPID
Bont has a massive breakeven of 165, while Yeo, Dahl and Sloane have breakevens of 143, 142 and 141 respectively. Kade Simpson also has a 137 BE, and Buddy is also floating in that vicinity.
RUCKING HELL
Things are bad for Stefan Martin and Todd Goldstein owners. In fact, things are bad full stop, but in the rucks things are especially bad.
Especially with Sandi gone, some are looking at a donut plus a sub-par output from a premium.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but my biggest regret is not starting Witts. And that’s saying something considering I started with Shaun Higgins.
CAPTAIN McCAPTAINFACE
I’m writing this during the first half of the Geelong/Port game, so I hope you had the VC on That Player That Did Well (which at this stage is Selwood, who I switched from after it looked like he might be a really, really late out because the world hates me regardless of if I’m paying attention or not). Otherwise, who have we got?
I don’t even know who’s playing this week to be honest because I’m in a country where football isn’t a thing (yes, it’s as barbaric as it sounds). Scott Pendlebury’s good at football yeah? Can we make him orange this week? Good, sweet.
If you haven’t got him, have a squizz at Barron von Crow’s spreadsheet because it is beautiful and he is beautiful and I owe both him and this spreadsheet several beers.

I’m outta here, I’ve got two more days in NZ and I’m not spending them looking at what’s supposed to be my Supercoach side (Le Premium, what the hell is that?!), which is actually just a lot of donuts surrounded by Shaun Higgins and underperforming midfielders. However, I land on Sunday, so normal services will be resumed next week in The Panic Room.
S Selwood – worth the injury risk?
Anyone at Geelong likely to take his spot?
The risk is injury. He's as durable as Tippett. But if you can get a bloke at 280k scoring tonnes it's where do I sign
2012 and 2013 averaged 104 from 22 and 18 games. Hasn't played more than 12 games in a year since. His output is fine. Body not so much.
No his js is rock solid, the only question is can he stay on the park
Just 2 or 3 more weeks would do to leap frog to an uber premium…. is it worth the double trade? What's a trade worth in $ to make it worth while? 100k? 150? 200? Could be easy money here and who doesn't need some cash generation?
17 tackle average over 2 games. And we all know tackles is the Geelong barometer. No issues with JS.
Guys I'm stuck! Help!
My structure as it sits is:
Martin, Sandi Pruess
Nank, Butler Stewart, Eddy (locked)
In order to avoid the 0 from Sandi I need Pruess to play (highly unlikely). Thinking of going Sandi and Pruess to Yeo and stranadica/D.cameron (I already have a donut in the mids).
Am I going in the correct direction? Sandilands was always a stepping stone and Nank is good enough cover until Gawn comes back in 3-4-5 weeks…
Yeah cull preuss can't rely on Scott one bit
There have been tweets in the last 15 mins from NMFC where BS said he wants to squeeze Pruess in. I guess we find out at 5pm…
That's strange as his presser today all but ruled Pruess out
Love it Patch as always. I'm going to the game on Sunday to watch 1 man. Junior uber prodigy Matt Scharenberg. Let's hope we get to see a run of this mans sublime ability. If he carries his VFL form into the AFL he'll be licked into team next week. And if your ballsy you may even want to slot him in this week. I'm considering doing that with English to cover Sandi
Oops licked / locked perhaps both
I am going early on him Pieman. No back rookies has forced my hand but he is supremely talented. Thanks to stewart's 90 odd he is sitting on the pine though, so there isn't too much risk (at least for this week)
Love the balls out call Finnius. If I didn't have other priorities I'd probably do the same
The swelling of my nuts increased this week, i now have luke ryan and scharenberg in my side.
Its only a matter of time before ryan gets a gig.
Hope you're enjoying your time in Aotearoa, Patch. Sorry my compatriots care nothing for this great game. If you can find channel 23 (Duke) you'll get a Saturday arvo game live, or there's delayed stuff after midnight. But I suspect you'll be out and about.
Isnt preuss named on an extended bench. I cant see him playing with goldstien wood and waite
Yeah I'm still waiting on the VFL list… any news?
He was named in the ruck for the Magoos
yeah i just heard. darn it
what now….
I'd get rid of preuss bro swing nank in
Im bringing in goldy this week for sandi so im over the moon
Problem for me is I brang Nak up last rd and sold Witts… Now with Sandi & Nank (preuss) im almost forced to trade Sandi…
Goldy for Sandi may have to be the outcome (at least I didn't get Ryder last night)
Just not sure about who is better i.e top 2
Goldy plays well without Preuss and he scored 173 last time he played the dees
Dees have no ruck. Sandi out. Goldi in.
Not named
Welcome goldstein
Thanks Patch! Great stuff as usual!
Community, do you think it's worth trading Balic to Lloyd simply to plonk on the bench? I don't have any donuts anywhere, and thought maybe I should hold off and wait for different rookies next week
Thanks in advance!
I have 21 trades
Balic is stranded on $215k and who knows if and when he's back. Lloyd could play 3-4 good games and help you through the byes. You can then use the $98k to upgrade other rookies over the byes.
Do it
Thanks for the advice mate, another option is to go early on greenwood or should I wait a week and downgrade a Fisher/barrett/spp to him for extra cash?
I'd wait, you are not losing money waiting on Greenwood an extra week, as long as you have bye coverage too, you get him for Fisher who will be out Rd 11 with the bye
If you've got no donuts I suggest you wait a week. Greenwood will still be sitting there and you'll have 3 trades per bye round. A week is a long time in footy as they say.
You think grab Lloyd this week or skip?
I think Lloyd will be fine. Good Job Security, will make cash and help with Bye structure to most. He probably won't score 100s but will be handy relatively short term option
i had the emg on T.Stewart last night and will be able to take his score that the expense of either Marchbank or Otten. Im leaning towards dropping Otten with the return of J.Jenkins. What does the community think?
I'm doing that. Jenkins back & Marchbank named in the backline makes that call easier. Off to the pine Mr Otten
I'm going to drop Marchbank – I was going to trade him next week but might do it now to avoid a price drop.
Marchbank plays Sunday too – safer to take him off field in case you have a late out you can always put the E on him to take his score (whereas if you take Otten off field and Taylor Adams is a late out on Sunday there's nothing you can do).
I'd drop Otten I think, however I am unfortunate enough to have Z Guthrie and so cannot loophole
In reply to The Wyld One
Me 2….Oh, well nice cover for a late out…..
Best downgrade out of Greenwood, Bolton, Stewart to get in for Butler? Have to do a downgrade to avoid a donut this week.
Also, is Jarrod Harbrow worth the punt in defense based on what he has scored so far this season (a couple of tons when I last checked)? Pretty sure his highest averaging season was in the mid 80s a few seasons back, although on the other hand he's already had his Bye and will play through the rest of the Bye rounds, hmm…
If you have to trade to avoid a donut I'd probably go Greenwood, Bolton might make way for a returning Butler and Lloyd screams Pickett like performance
I wouldn't pick him myself, but trust your gut, he could pay nice dividends
I wouldn't trade in 'Johnny' English just now even to cover Sandi. The Dogs have the bye next eeek and Roughead almost certainly returns for Rd 12
Bevo very high on English at today's press conference – says he is essentially a half back flanker/winger who had a massive growth spurt, and when he's in the ruck he's a "fourth midfielder" – definitely watch closely.
Yeah but I'd definitely wait until he's on the bubble
My round is already ruined, accidentally had the C on Sam Powell-Pepper (VC Danger). Leftover from last week when he had the bye. Just take the Sandi donut since I'm not getting a great score this week anyway?
Aww man that sucks, you should do the important changes Monday morning I think
Anyway it would depend on your structures but id probably hold sandi
Yeah dumb mistake. a late reverse trades caught me out
That blows, I did a similar thing a few rounds ago and got Bonts 70 odd. Still recovered to get a decent score. Don't give up! I'd take this as a sign and trade Sandi to the Goldmember. I don't have him but I see a 150 coming and wish I did.
Don't give up. It isn't 200 you missed its only 100.
You're right, might go bang bang… unless Press is named
Found this on North's twitter lads
Scott: We're keen to work out a way to get (Preuss) in the side, we'll try to work out a way to get him in
Also, this off Brisbane's twitter for Stef owners
CF: Guys like Rhys Mathieson and Archie Smith will be playing their first games of the season.
and the opposite from the AFL website
Ruckman Braydon Preuss appears unlikely to play despite being named on North’s extended bench for Sunday’s game. North coach Brad Scott said at his Friday press conference that it had become increasingly hard to play two ruckmen and, with No.1 big man Todd Goldstein in good form, Preuss looks set to spend another week in the VFL.
Haha welcome to supercoach Choppers
They lied
Brad Scott made that statement many weeks ago Big Boy. He sure hasn't found a way to play them both yet. Like Derek said we've been lied to. Hibbo Jnr Mountford & Preuss….I hate Brad Scott
Stef Martin owners be afraid. I'm hearing Archie Smith will play
Rucks are such a conundrum this year. Remember everyone talking about 'set and forget' earlier on the year. How far off is Gawn and do we have the stomach to bring him back??
I'm thinking nic Nat could be a sneaky pod
Nightmare Rick. He's due back round 13 then needs 2 weeks to crash in price
Archie Numbnuts to play
Had a bad moment while trading. Had the C on SPP last week to take advantage of Danger's VC. In the haste of last night bringing in Ryder for Otten and Greenwood for Eddy, I didn't get to fix that. I therefore have Danger's 160+ and SPP's 50+ x2.
Oh the humanity. 🙁
Did similar thing with Ryder…new I didn't need to trade before cats/port so left things unchanged.
Myers or Fisher onfield instead of SPP peeps?
Myers
I'm going Myers but Fisher vs North isn't a bad shout hedski, think myers is due for a 70-85 game
I'm hoping my bombers will have a big one against the army tonight
Yeah leaning towards Myers.
(Bombers play tomorrow night Imgonna, Thursday games throw me out of whack too)
Oh right of course, damn Thursday night games…
What would you do with ablett? 2 years of shoulder problems and now it's happening again. Trade or keep?
Keep
Depending on your trade situation it's worth noting Gary has a BE of 197 & a high cash value. You could trade him to a cheaper player that would be a top 6-8 on another line & then use another rookie to get him back later if he's back in form & cheaper. That's what I'll be doing
Who would have thought gaz would be one of the most expensive players???
Wise words.
Do you think McRae? Or Robertson/Rance
This week I dont need to trade
I am loopholing Stewarts score with Hibberd
loopholing Myers OR Fisher score with Mountford
captain loopholing Sandilands to get Dangers score
and loopholing Grundys score with Sandilands
hope these hold up
Confirmed! Fagan has stated Rhys "The GOAT" Matheisen & Archie Smith will play this weekend
Let's be honest guys, who has been already thinking of next year's selections, I know I have after a horror few rounds
Nah, just lessons learnt from this year. I've got 3 so far. Brad Scott is not to be trusted. Brad Scott doesn't give a kiss about supercoach. Brad Scott lies.
I'm with you Random. You could add Brad Scott wants you to have donuts & no cash. Ross, Horse & Brad Scott in a league of their own for hated coaches ATM
Haha will add that!
Horse drives me nuts
So do cows
I definitely have. Must haves: Zerrett, Cripps, Bont, Neale, Oliver, Titch and Doch
Take Stewart's 91 as loophole and bench shaw with the way he's playing?
I was thinking the same ….
Shaw does AV 107 at Domain Stadium
Looking at getting in someone with a huge POD in the backline.
Trading Hrovat to Lloyd and Marchbank to either Harbrow or Roberton – thoughts please??
None of them will be a huge pod Next Week
Probably harbrow but rance before them
Harbrow already having his bye is very enticing…..as a Bomber supporter, I can't take Rance this week!!!
KK is a huge pod. Harbrow a decent pod. Roberton still a pod, but looks a chance at top 4 scoring.
Not massive pods
Robertson looks good though
Do we get three trades in R11, R12 & R13?
Yes.
I may need all three next week
Need some community wisdom please. I am ranked 172 and have been top 500 all year, pretty much proves SC is a game of luck, but I want to ride it for as long as I can.
Backline trades for this week is where I need help. Have 21 trades and $353k in the bank and my backline is currently:
Docherty, Laird, Lloyd, Otten, Marchbank, Newman (Stewart/Berry)
So choices I am playing with are below, can field a team throughout byes regardless (just and barring injury/selections)
1. Marchbank > Adams, use one trade only, still carrying Otten who I can try to get to Roberton later
2. Marchbank > Adams and Otten > Hibberd, backline almost done
3. Marchbank > Adams and Otten to non playing rookie like McNiece and take Stewarts 90 from last night and build cash
Can think of strong arguments for each option, so need some wisdom to consider what I may have missed? Maybe another player would be better?
I would do option 2.
You have plenty of trades and cash left, and Newman could very well prove to be the perfect D6.
You don't want to trade in a non-playing rookie and get caught out with a couple of injuries. If you were looking for the money route then I would trade in Scharenberg. He will play out the rest of the year barring injury and I would be shocked if he averaged under 70.
People will say he might get injured – but if he does he'll still likely play as many games as Mcniece.
Love option two. Keep pushing. Scooter Selwood as an m9 at 280k is worth considering too next week too. Will be great through the byes.
In terms of EMG loopholes from last night, definitely taking Stewart's 91, who would I take off to put Hibberd (NTH one) on to get the score, Otten or Berry?
And my other loophole in SPP who got about 55 from memory, worth banking that or taking a punt on Barrett/Fisher? My gut probably says to have a go on Barrett.
Take a punt on barrett and take off otten I reckon
Luke I've got the same problem as you in defence. I'm going to trade either Marchbank or Otten's out for Adams & put Hibberd (Nth) on the ground to get Stewarts points. Then I'll to move Berry back into defence by DDP with Adams. The million dollar question is Berry or Otten / Marchbank on the ground? I'm thinking of taking a punt and put Berry on the ground. Otten's doesn't score that well when Jenkins is in the side. Marchbank hasn't scored much above 60 to 70 other than the one ton he score. So I think take the punt on Berry on ground this weel
Hey mate, fair enough yeah I've rolled with Berry the last two weeks on field at D6 and it resulted in good returns in the 70s for both weeks so think I will make the percentage play.
Yeah tough dilemmas in defense isn't it for sure…
agree with finnius
ben mcniece – will he work his way back into the essendon side? had stewart onthe bench with emergency on, but all of my defenders are playing. in a line-ball game and would really like to take stewart's score. I've still got otten in my side, and need to take some cash of the table for future trades, so would be trading him out. however, i'm not too sure if i'm keen to already start bringing non-playing players into my side and use up a trade that I would possible need to downgrade to a playing rookie. however, my problems (well, this weeks problems anyway!) are all solved if people think mcniece can break back in…
Hard to say Matt.
Has been playing well in the 2nds but am tipping he won't be back for a while. Essendon are on a roll. Hurley, Hartley, Dea in def, Daniher, Hooker and Stewart in attack. Their structure looks really good at the moment. Not sure there is a spot for him. The fact he is not named as an emergency doesn't bode well either.
that's what i thought. I was just hoping to hear different haha. I just can't really afford to lose this game after the start to the year I've had! In my league, I'm ranked 17th by wins, but 8th by points! Things haven't gone well for me, but team is climbing out of the hole it was in and shaping up nicely now. Can still make the 8 from here, but gotta keep making the right calls.
so, apart from mcniece, are there any other defender rookies that are likely to get a call up later in the year that are showing promise and worth taking a punt on if absolutely necessary?
If you are hell-bent on this harebrained scheme you might want to check out Ryan from Freo.
Be wary of the Ross Lyon path before you take a step though. He might debut this week only to be dropped and never heard from again or he might debut round 7 2019.
Save the trade. Otten may score 91 or higher anyway. Not worth a trade for 40 or less points, even if you were trading in a player who is likely to play again this year…
yeah, fair enough. the trade isn't worth the small handful of points. and looking at the teams, I think I can get the win without it…
also, on a different note – who would you play onfield? Otten or McGrath? One of the 2 will need to be playing. Pretty torn at the moment
A rucking headache for me…my big men are Sandi, Grundy and Preuss. I'm thinking Sandi to Goldy…is he back to his best?
I have gone with goldy
Hope he keeps pumping out big scores, Good price and works for byes
I've gone Sandi to Goldy. The reality Sandi was never going to be a top 3 ruck whereas if Goldy keeps his form up he could be.
Been holding (and praying for) Mountford and Hibberd (Nth). Have both looked close to selection recently.
With byes approaching just checked when the Kangas 2nds play this week. They don't ….
Who bloody came up with the idea to have no 2nds games the week before the round 11 bye ?!!
Don't these people care about supercoach !!
Both have … not Have both …
Supercoach stress has made me dyslexic.
Works either way Juzzy, and no, no they don't give a toss about sc. Bastards.
Otten to Adams.
Marchbank to Perryman or Sharenberg?
I'm thinking of the same thing! Trading out Marchbank to free up cash for next week…but not sure who to…
Guys I need some ideas for some SHARK MOVES. Who are some risky PODs I should consider? I brought Walters in last week, right now I'm observing Josh Jenkins and Josh Caddy.
Ty Vickery
I'd be happy with Walters & move on. Too many ballsy moves will take it's toll
Agree
Too risky
Jenkins and Caddy…hahaha good one! Zac Dawson?
Like the ideas. Very risky very cheap huge potential
What do u guys think of hampton to Scharenberg?
Already have T Stewarts score
If he's as good as everyone thinks Jimbob, could be a great call, a bit risky but this whole game is a bit risky. I did the same for a cash grab this week.
IMAGINE THIS:
You are in a room with only a table. You are sitting on a wobbly bench as a tall shady figure walks in and pulls out a machete. He walks towards you while chanting an ominous speech. Blood starts dropping from his eyes.
The next story is far more scary trust me:
Supercoach byes
I know! Less footy on to for 3 weeks
Tv*
damn, i was actually enjoying the story… was wondering where it was going haha
The byes can make you or break you
I JUST FELL OFF MY CHAIR YOU FLAMING GALAH
Where did the bench come from if there's only a table??? Good story but.
Haaaa love it Tyrud
Hey guys, can anyone tell me if Butler should be back next week or injury has gotten the better of him? and is Bowes just out with illness? Could he be back next week to help me through the byes?
Move butler on…..
Preuss is not playing
Tell us something new. Preuss the biggest tease of the season.
Thank God I didn't pick him up when he was on the bubble
He did make about $150k. I have had less from a number of my rookies
Also archie smith is playing
Bad news for Stef owners
Sandy to Goldy… Is this a decent move?
Decent move
I think so.
Everyone talking Lloyd from gws. What about scheer from gc? Does anyone think he will play next three weeks?
Who's buying S Selwood next of the week?
Me probably
Will check fixtures to check if he may tag anyone
Anyone who is averaging a ton at 280k is gold
He has looked pretty good last couple of weeks Benny! More like 2012 Scooter, less like the clanger king that played for WCE the years following his BnF. Very tempting given his bye
Indeed!
Definitely looking at him.
J.Stewart or Greenwood?
And how long do I put up with Heater?
Give him time through the byes. Give him the boot after you have a fill team if still not satisfied.
Full team
Bench Newman or Hibberd for Stewart's 91?
Take Stewarts 91, don't think Newman will get much more than that, Sydney's prime movers and Buddy are going to do some damage against the hawks so the points might not be there for Newman.
Scott no friends is full of sh!t saying he will find a way to play both Goldy and Pruess. Bastardo!
Have gone Sandi to Grundy this week. Grundy I believe has bottomed out and can hopefully turn the corner, at $435 there is value there. Expect a 95-100 hundred average from here.
Bolton, Greenwood or Cousins?
Greenwood
Greenwood
jock the cock moite!!!
wtf moite!!! bloody McInnes betting the boot! madness!
Huh?
Great work Patch. Stupid Flanders. Thoughts on Mummy instead of Goldy to replace Sandi. Averaging 106 and doesn't have the bye til Round 13 compared with Goldy and Nank (most people seem to have both) who have the same bye in Rnd 12.
Only four teams have the round 12 bye.
With hampton injured I think its time to move him on. Are there any good downgrade options that might be able to get me some points in the byes that anyone had there eye on?
Scharenburg – but if you don't have a doughy I would wait a week
An off topic.
Just wanna say best wishes to Tom Downie from GWS on his journey to recovery. Tackling mental health is more priority than tackling other players on the ground, hope you get the best help you need.
I know what it's like you're going through, I for one suffer with Anxiety and Depression.
well said doncs
This is marvellous stuff SCDonkey and very true. All thoughts with Tom
Is it worth trading out Preuss to Strnadica to take Parson's 42, or just hold my trades and cop the donut and hope Preuss gets a game soon and makes more cash? Want to try save trades for the bye's as I only have 17 left
Who is the best option this week to field out of myers, barrett or greenwood?
Greenwood
Is it worth downgrading to Scharenburg to get cash for an upgrade?
I am seriously thinking the same but selecting someone who has been injured most of his career is holding me back.
So annoying. Marchback is primed to downgrade but noone this week to trade too. If Newman scores well tonight, i think ill be playing Marchbank on the bench which is frustrating when he is almost 400k
In the same boat but holding out for Scharenberg or will look to turn Marchbank into Docherty after Carltons BYE.
Hi Holty.
Marchbank is departing my side this week. With a BE of 98, there is a big risk of him bleeding serious cash after this round. As I have the Doc also, I cant afford both out with the bye next week. Time to bite the bullet.
I am trading him out for Alex Rance tomorrow. Rance with a BE of 78 is great value at the moment and is a proven, reliable and durable defender.(First time I have picked Rance in my SC team). His round 12 bye is perfect for my back line structures. It means I have two playing defenders out during each of the 3 bye rounds.
If you don't have him, fits your byes, and can afford him, then why not get on him!
Cheers
I have newman at d6. Have rance howe shaw adams doch so really looking to downgrade and when time is right, get laird for Newman. Wish i had someone to swing into the backline.
But agree hawk, he needs to go.
who should i loophole for stewart? laird adams simpson shaw marchbank newman? im thinking shaw or marchbank and most likely marchbank
Hi Community, I've got myself in a bit of a jam and could do with some wisdom in regards to the following. I forgot to put the E on Parsons last night which means if I swing Nank from Fwd line to Ruck via Strndica to cover the injured Sandi I'll cop a donut in my Fwd line as Eddy is my other bench player. As I'm playing only for cash leage glory I can't afford a donut and/or loss I'm consdiering trading Sandi into Goldstein and Otten to Daniel Lloyd via DPP. This trade will suit my team structure for Rd 13 BYE and he appears to be back in good form (averaging 117 in last 3) and I was only ever planning to use Sandi as a stepping stone. What are peoples thoughts on Goldy? Is now the time to strike and do you think he'll finish as a top 3 Ruckmen at season end?
Yeah I'd pull the trigger Pman, Goldy could easily be top 3 by season's end, as long as Preuss keeps getting left out, a lot of guys went to Ryder instead of Goldy yesterday. I've already locked Goldy in, Sandi's done his job well but not a keeper.
If I didnt have Nankervis or Stef Martin , I would have grabbed Goldy in a heartbeat. I will watch Stef tomorrow with his buddy Archie Smith playing alongside him. If Stef like before, spits the dummy and spuds it up, I can consider getting Goldy in after the byes.
I hope for your sake Hawk, that Smith spuds it up and doesn't get another game…be a bummer to have to trade a healthy ruck because his points are getting stolen.
I brought Goldi in this week.
Doing the same
Perfectly rational argument. Do it.
Cheers fellas I'm sold too now on Goldy, especially with Archie Smith now potentially harming Martins score this week. Having slight reservations about Daniel Lloyd, I'm not overly concerned about his scoring as he'll be on the pine but just wondering about his JS and if I should go a week early on Greenwood which would be breaking my own rule of never trading rookies unless ib bubble.
Apparently his JS is pretty good at the Giants Pman, but going early on Greenwood could pay off as he's a tackler, 191cm, 93 kg, ready made, and 25 so, not a kid.
Cheetrs Rusty, didn't realise Greenwood was mature aged…definitely worth considering going early and DPP status is useful too.
Random question, i understand why buddy and burgoyne are wearing different numbers for indigenous round. but why is rampe?
The Australian Aborigines used to live in Estonia before their rents got raised too high, then they moved to Australia in Viking Boats 🙂
Just a stab but I would say that he is aboriginal?
No, his family heritage is from Estonia, a small country near Finland. I guess he's just doing it out of respect.
50 years since the referendum apparently…
Lloyd is down. I nearly brought him in
He'll be allright…fingers bloody crossed!
If he misses the game he could be really cheap after his bye
Any word on how bad he is? Will be be back on ground?
No word yet…bloody hell!…he copped a knee to the head.
Lloyd in the box with a jacket on. All over for him
Bugger! Need a big night from Newman now.
Bargain boiiiiiii
Whenever I check the SC scores I feel sick looking at Newmans
I gather you don't have him?…I feel sick looking at Lloyd's 6 points.
Traded him out over Hampton a few weeks back…
Haha I traded him then got him back. Not sure why but it worked
Umm why he is no keeper?
What a magnificient kick by Buddy. Brilliant
Jake Lloyd on the bench with the jacket on? Is it so?
Nice one Lloyd. There goes My h2h and ranking. I feel a rage trade coming. Faaaaaark
Feeling the pain also Rick,,,as are many coaches…fark it.
Yeah!! That'd be right. Just when i thought my luck has come my way having VC on Danger this week. Nekminit Llyod goes down with concussion. Smh!!!
Need Buddy and Hanners to go big tonight to cover Lloyd
Lloyd out for the rest of the game.
Very good news for myself, was already planning on bringing him in after his bye but this means ill get him a bit cheaper, heartbreaking for anyone who brought him in this week
I nearly brought him in this week. Sydney's bye next week swayed me not to. Thank you round 11 bye. Jezus, this is insane!
Is a kick only considered effective if its marked by a teammate?
I think it is if it is to the advantage of the team mate
Backwards kicks aren't rewarded with points now as well.
Lloyd out for the rest of the game, heartbreak for owners but will be cheap and in my team in a few weeks.
Zac Jones you useless prick!
Looking like a bit of a witch's hat, at least he's on 16 now…more than Lloyd!
At least Lloyd has an excuse!
Dont speak too soon
Yeah right?…38 now, not too bad.
73 – 2nd top for sydney
Yeah …there are times when ya regret comments you made too early ay?…lol He could end up 100+
lol He did* end up with 100+
Went down in the first minute…did it to himself too, bloody bummer.
They should have a mercy rule where you can trade out for players and get their scores even after they played
Just checked the SC gods. No mercy there either. But yeah, 1 Q1 injury rule, lets call it the team power sub where everyone else lifts and you get the emergency score from that line. Special button, once off. Like it.
Lloyd (sydney) out for the game with concussion
Yep…in the first minute of the game.
No donuts but have Otten and Marchbank.
Was thinking Otten to Scharenberg and Marchbank to Adams this week, Balic to Greenwood locked in for next week. Should I hold trades this week or fire away?
Way too early for Sharenburg. He hasn't shown he can play at AFL level yet.
Balic to Greenwood this week and upgrade Marchbank or Otten to 490k or less?
or normal trades but Perryman instead?
All ya spuds who got Heeney ahaha. Buddy was the pick easily
Was planning on getting Heeney at the start of the season before he was ruled out with glandular fever, im not completely upset with the pickup, he can still have a good second half from here
Buddy will go back to being a useless spud next week again you watch
I already had Buddy smh
