Need to chew the fat about a loophole option?
This is place the do it every week.
Let’s chew some round 14 SuperCoach FAT:
Loop Kennedy score last night of 127 for go with Danger for captain?
I'd be sticking with the 127 especially with danger playing injured. Don't see him going big
Hard one can't go wrong doing either, I'd personally go Danger
Im in the same situation and going danger. The rumours he is injured are laughable. Will go big vs freo
Take it, more to lose than gain
I am in the same predicament. My rival this week has Danger as C. I bet if i take JPKs 127 Danger will end up with 150+
Hey guys, should I swing berry to defence via Hibberd, and trade him out for Ryan? Or trade out fisher for mountford? And keep berry in mids. Cheers guys!
#2
Trade out Fisher to Ryan if you have Hibberd in defence
I love Zach Merrett
He was my first trade in this week but after the carnage I needed to make some changes elsewhere. Hope he doesn't go up too much. He was my final mid to bring in. Either him or Mitchell.
What do u fellas think of Bont VC… or even C if Zorko VC doesn't satisfy
Zorko vc bont c
Yeah that's what I was thinking, seeing Danger is 'injured'
Surely Bont tonnes up immensely tonight against North as Bulldogs are under pressure for top 8 contention
Who scores more?
Barrett or Ryan.
Can flick Adams into the mods for Fyfe or leave him in Def.
I think know much of a muchness lean get towards Barrett
Thoughts?
I think the ball will be in freos defence, therefore allowing and giving Ryan a lot of opportunity to find the ball.
Several lolly shops trashed in Sydney last night. Floggard in custody
Do people think Lachie Neale is still worth bringing in even tho he has Fyfe out and sandi out this week, meaning he might cop a harder opponent and more attention than with Fyfe in the team. Also won't get first use of the ball as Sandi out. He scored poorly 2 rounds ago when they got smashed and Sandi was out.
If I didn't get Neale who else should I get?
Mids Currently, Danger, Merrett, Titch, Treloar, Murphy, Bont, Fyfe
Look at Neales scores last year. That should answer the question
Do I take JPK's 127 or C on Selwood, Danger or Doch?
Take it
Take
I'm on the same boat but worried Danger will go large and come out with 150+
Take it you will lose 20 points max and could lose up to 50
127 x 2 = f#*k all. All three of them will beat that. Jelwood at the Cattery best.
Jelwood uh?
Shame Gawn comes up against WCE this week … that 200+ BE may be in reach!
His interstate scoring last year was insane
Let us never have a friday quite that crazy ever again. I'm going to need a week to recover
The gods were very very grumpy
Unbelievable Patch – commiserations mate
Thoughts on Scharanberg to Howe or hold trade and field Ryan???
Have a bad feeling about Doch and Nank late outs Tomorrow
Doch passed his fitness test this morning & will play
Unless Derek brings him in for Fyfe.
In which case, he misses three.
.
Please no, I am about to bring him in lmao
Wouldn't mind seeing Nank given some further rest whilst he's on my bench in place of Greenwood's score…
Now that I've said as much, the gods will curse me in ways unimaginable
Hmm first injury mid-game for the year for my team, with Beams down :/
How many trades do people have left? I have 9 and am playing for league finals rather than overall
Anyone know what the issue is with danger?
And is it serious enough to warrant taking the C off him?
You would hope if he is selected he would be 100% right to go. It would be very negligent for Geelong to risk their best player.
Hamstring tightness i heard
Do you fellas think R.Gray will be a fwd next year? Or will he stay as a mid
FWD or MID/FOR
Absolutely, altho the really interesting one would be considering the time he's spent forward this year, any chance of Bont being fwd elligible. Reckon if so my fwd line next year would be Gray Bont, 4 rookies.
Let's worry about this season first 😛
I think a fair few of us may have written this one off…
Treloar's disposals in that first quarter were retarded. Seriously mate, start using the pill properly!!! FFS
Adams also
It is extremely difficult it kick the pill running flat out. Let alone hit a target. Treloar needs to slow down before he kicks it. If Buckley had half a clue he'd tell him
True pieman. Only a select few can do it. Ablett is one of them but even if he has time to settle, he will.
SPP to 50 Shades looks tempting next week, he's killing it (and cheap).
Wow those who were brave enough to select Gray this week, well done. Looking good.
Take a bow Rick Grimes.
So in hindsight 420k for Robbie gray as a potential m9/loophole might have been a good idea……
R Gray killing it. Congrats to those people who backed their judgement and brought him in.
He is playing Collingwood though.. no one is even on him
I still think he'll throw in the odd stinker whilst he's playing purely forward.
Bloody good to watch when he's up and about tho.
Community, trying to work a captain loophole and messing with my emergencies. If you have two emergencies selected in a position and one of them doesn't play, will you get the score of the one that did or the 'lowest score' as stated in the rules?
They don't score if they don't play Richo.
That's what I thought but wanted to be sure. Thanks hedski
Buckley stuffing around with pendles so may not need it now 🙁
Collingwood are Sh#t. And buckley is an idiot, why would you put pendles in the backline!
Another brilliant move by Buckley. Took him 3/4 to work out he had no forward line. Any other coach would have had ben Reid there half way through the first quarter. Complete spud
Traded out Barret and kept Berry. Just thought I would let the community know that they should do the opposite to benefit from Barret's inevitable tonne.
Culled them both DM, probs both ton up.
Barrett on minus 8!
Good golf score 🙂
I traded out spp and kept Barrett, proving a masterstroke so far – Barrett will struggle to get anywhere near his breakeven at this stage
Seems like it was the right week to trade out Barrett..maybe he needs a rest.
Jezza Howe is an absolute gun POD
Been killing it Fin, glad I started with him.
Yep got him in 4 weeks ago and hasn't looked back!
Every time I tip the pies……
Matty White could be a nice F7 for the rest of the year – $198K on the bubble next week, just scored a lazy 99.
There goes the tiny 3% chance that we'd slip into the finals this year
Beams has broken down. Arm injury. His day is done. 6 SC
He got smashed by Mummy
At least Mummy has done something for me today, 39 at half time lift!!
Stef going hard.
To be fair John, there was no malice in it, it was just an unstoppable force against an immovable object..the Mummy!
On behalf of all those who traded him out after his first injury and then were subjected to ridicule by the numptys who didn't trade him out after his first injury I we say "I TOLD YOU SO".
I traded him out round 7 for Pendles so happy with that call, it was just a matter of time with Beams to go down again..unfortunately for his owners.
I'm pretty sure half the guys in the league would have gone down if they got hit by Mummy in that situation.
Who owns beams?
hey all , take peppers 82 or role the dice with an iffy hammy of scot selwood ?
take the 82 I reckon.
Agree play it safe and bank the 82
I won't mind too much if Scooter's a late out to bank that 82.
Did Brad Ebert play bad or did he get an injury
He was on about 45 at half time and then he went missing. Que in rack
What do u guys think of Bont C?
If he was to ever bounce back into form than tonight would be the night.
Risky Jim_bob, he seems to like scores in the 80's and low 90's lately.
Just swtched C from Danger to The Bont Jim bob. I need to make ground in 2 cash Leagues. its a risk tho
I'm thinking it was a pretty good idea at the moment guys LOL !
Heath Shaw had got 3 disposals and 1 tackle and he is on 30 SC
D .BEAMS done grrrrr
The gods are having fun with us this weekend
Do i put the C on play Danger even if he is carrying an injury or go with Docerty
Danger's hardly missed a game since 2009, I'm betting he'll play the full game and play well.
Jake Barrett and Archie Smith are fighting it out to see who ends up with the lowest score..whoever scores under 10 wins lol
Least Barrett found his way into the positive . Was poised to flick him however i thought surely he could get his 50 odd BE then bang bang to full premo ish next week. Good Thanks.
New Zorko owners currently pulling their hair out
Yay to VC Zorko…….
Would have paid top dollar as well.
Zorko has flopped today!
Bigtime!…and still flopping.
Im sure its just a one off. He will bounce back next week.
Yeah mate, he will, at least you didn't get Beams in!
Yeah very happy i didnt jump on him at the start of the year. At least Martin and Greene played well for me today.
VC Zorko! Yay..
Let's hope Bont does good as C
Would look at Scooter to Beams when he falls in price but how serious is the injury?
Broken Collarbone.
Won't know until Monday but knowing his shoulders, could be serious.
Dw heard it was season ending
What is wrong with Zorko?
He forgot to take his magnificence supplements this morning.
Ward was too good
Assuming Docherty plays tomorrow, which 2 defenders should I have on field out of Rance, Simpson and Harbrow?
Someone said earlier, he passed his fitness test so he will play…I'd leave Harbrow out, cause he's not really a premo imo.
That's a lot of money on your bench there!
Berry got 76. I can take it or play Bolton, Parsons or Pickett……. oh dear what a choice.
Take Witherden's 76 or give Stewart a run?
take both
Agree
Stefan Martin you are a hero! Adam Treloar you are a villain. Heath Shaw you are damned. Not bloody good enough mate. Milestone game or no milestone game.
Shaw was insipid today, 9 disposals, no longer a premo.
Yep. Shaw is gone from my team this week.
90 odd from Shit cut Treloar is passable TH.
Go STEF..
Treloar ended up with just 91 SC points from 35 disposals. If the prick could just get his efficiency up to premo standard, coaches would be looking at 131's or better.
Too true. Better than Rocky, Sloane, Buddy, Ebert etc so far.
Shaw to who? Can go to a 460kish defender with one trade.
Hibberd has been pretty disappointing as of late. Also welcome to my team next week Bont
Bontempelli is going BIG. The Bont is back with a bang.
Coaches who have him (me not) look like they will be handsomely rewarded for their patience tonite.
I traded him in for Fyfe this week and god im so happy i did!
Wish I had VC him. Didn't trust his recent form. It was only a matter of time.
put the cheeky C on him, hope he keeps going
Yep that should push his 5 game ave into the 90's
Only matters what he scores now if you just got him in Dee.
Meh. He played against the worst midfield in the competition, notorious for giving up big score to opposing midfielders. I'm yet to be convinced,
Average of 112 not enough to convince you?
Yay finally. Brought him in at 600k and promptly gave me 90s
Really want to go Shaw to newman next week. Would finally put me at rest for not owning him.
Maybe also consider Joey Montagna or McGovern
Do you really want to pay 430k for a rookie that most people payed 123k for?
So glad i traded in Bont for Fyfe! Welcome back The Bont!
Docherty or Dusty C?
I am going Dusty as captain. He will probably cop the Curnow tag at some point, but he will smash that like any other tag. His record against the Blues is not special, but tomorrow Dusty will right a few wrongs and hopefully make a big statement.
I like you thinking TOPHAWK, think i'm gonna back Dusty!
Dangerous
high risk high reward!
True, I'll stick with Danger.
Doch is playing…not sure about Danger yet, but the gun has only missed 5 games or so in 8 years.
Yeah I've got the VC on Danger
Doch keeps on giving.
Gawn is so good. 20 HO in the first half – 11 to advantage. Straight swap for sandi after next round. Tempted to even cop the extra 30-40k and get him after this weekend.
Very tempting. But not rucking against any opposition
He is only going to get better though – this is just his first match back after injury. Best ruckman in the comp, I will back him to carve up Kreuzer. Kreuzer is similar to Nank as well and picks up quite a few of his points through possessions/tackles not necessarily hit-outs to advantage.
In form Kreuzer next week
Considering going early and getting him next week
Gawns back
Big time. Beard or no beard. 77SC at the half after 10 odd weeks out. Licking my chops.
Max is 4 feet taller than any ruck he played against tonight. I hope he can keep it up when he plays against an actual ruck his stats were poor tonight considering the opposition that he had.
He didn't need to make any runs into backline chasing an athletic opponent tonight and he will probably spend half of next week up fwd or on bench, there's no sense in busting him against a team we wont meet in finals.
Embarrassing from Clayton Oliver. Pathetic.
Was contact even made? Looked like a princess
Looks like he is running out of juice mate. Always on the cards.
Oliver is actually going well in the second half. Hibberd is sh#t though
I think he was getting tagged by Hutchings, ended up having a good game regardless. He's a gun.
You know that 'pitiful' and 'embarrassing' don't mean 'good' don't you?
Hibberd is having a seriously poor outing
Another flop just like zorko
Looks like Hibberd was just an illusion just as Higgo said. I sadly got drawn into that illusion.
Bloody Goldstein's also done nothing since he hit 60
Did he get reported??
I didn't see anything Hedski..have been flicking between games.
Same, heard something on the radio wasn't sure.
He is on 73 so not doing that badly. Still 5 mins to go he might creep up to 80+
Ended on 90+ huge last quarter
Ended up with a decent score. Maybe I jumped the gun a bit – but he was floundering down the bottom for a bit too long for my liking.
Yeah got around 50 points that quarter
happens. players can be 45 and end up 90 in the last quarter.
still don't know how these stats work sometimes
Bloody hibbered
Could still redeem himself…on 67 now.
He has turned it around
Go Peddo!…having a great last quarter!
Shaw to Newman or McGovern?
Or T McDonald?
two great games tonight, amazing to watch!
T-MAC wow what a game!!
How good is footy? I swear almost every game this season has been absolutely incredible.
Hell yeah!…these 2 night games made up for the 2 boring day games today for sure.
Thursday and Friday night were also great games of Footy. There can be no arguments against the current system of leveling it out. It makes for great, unpredictable footy games.
This year has probably been the most competitive and uncertain in recent memory, anybody can win in any game and it makes for very entertaining viewing
First of all what a weekend of footy, there has been two 1 pointers and a cracker from the Dees.
Also the doggies boys were back with a bang, Macrae, Bont and Dahl all having good nights after some poor performances over the last few weeks. Actually looking at a good score this week as i've managed to avoid the carnage.
C'mon genius why don't you explain to us all how the umpires decide who wins the game the day before its played and then award the required free kicks to ensure that outcome. idiot 🙂
Haha mate dont need to. If you dont know it already or cant figure it out by looking at what everyone says on fb then you obviously have never played football in your life…. and not once did i say that they decide it before the game you stupid idiot! Back in your hole where you belong mate.
Who wins?
Opponent: Murphy, Riewoldt, 35 points
Me: Jelwood, Simpson
Bloody Mountford and Barrett cost me
Not looking good but you have a chance. If you expected more from Mountford then you are dreaming.
Newman, McGovern, Tom McDonald or hold Shaw after his 60?
Shaw probably has to go, if he was to have a big one this year it would have been today.
I'll get rid of Shaw as well.
He has been a victim of GWS success
Aim Make him your d7, I have and it feels good. Too late in the year to sideways unless you e got butloads of trades
What a night!
Bont: 139
MacRae: 122
Dalhaus: 103
Oliver:113
Hibberd:91
Yeo: 94
Woohoo!
Happy days mate…I've got all those blokes too, bout time the doggies boys pulled their fingers out 🙂
What are you projected for this week? Im up against the top guy in one of my leagues and he is 11-0 so far. Hoping to knock him off
2427 but I have S.Selwood and Danger with no cover so I'm hoping they both play 🙂 Good luck mate, I hope you knock that tall poppy down!
Yeah i have them to. With Doch, Martin, Nank, Roberton, Tuohy also to play
Hoping to get around 2400 tp 2450
You should do well, just gotta hope Nank doesn't get replaced by Maric at the last minute…unless you have cover.
Nah no cover yet. Will be getting another ruck in a few weeks if all goes well. But greenwood may be a keeper yet haha
Umpires win the games
Bookies must be winning big time
By law they should have to declare their positions
Eagles game was umpired reasonably well
The Swans have been persecuted tbis year
I can only think it was because of the umps being called out after the rigged 2016 grand final
You must be a big X-Files fan?…Conspiracy theories abound all around us?
Looking some big scores this round? What's everyone projected at? I think mines 2580 but hard to calculate as have strands a as c to get Merrett score and not sure if greenwoods score has already been added in
Around 2450 to 2500
Hey Mavs…did you just mean to delete your comment or your whole profile?…now your name is deleted2704926, sounds like a Robot's name lol, wtf?
Anyone else locked out of supercoach? Can't check my score.
Nah mine's ok, check your internet connection maybe?
Gawn a must have after that effort and the dees looking good too. Weideman and JKH both played blinders at casey
Hey Neil, I'd say he's a must have after he overcomes his massive breakeven..in a couple of weeks, bloody great game from Big Maxy tonight though, and a great win for the D's…genuine threat this year!
Have a look at who he is up against after next week.
Kruzer, Jacobs, Ryder, Goldy & Mummy.
Welcome back Max!
Field Stewart or Ryan?
Stewart for mine. Playing on his home deck whilst Ryan is only playing his third game away in a hostile environment.
Tough call. Safety is Stewart. But Ryan has the better SC game long term
Who to put the C on ? Danger, Jelwood, or Doc
Jelwood loves the Cattery but so does Danger. I'd go Jelwood out of the two, he's due.
Danger and the Doc will probably play, but the Doc had to pass a fitness test yesterday and Danger apparently is struggling with some hamstring tightness. The least risky one without an injury ? mark is Jelwood. I would go with him.
You need some luck in this caper bench. If you were lucky enough to dodge the carnage then you should go very large. It happens every year
Top of the morning all! Its Sunday………………….Let the supercoach gods be nice to us for a change. Wouldn't that be nice?
Anyway, I am battling a very tough opponent in Trigg's Happy Place league this week and need to make up some ground. I am currently trailing by 274 points, however I still have 3 unique players to play vs his 1 unigue player. My unique players are Rance, Stewart, and Dustin Martin whilst his unique player is Jelwood. We both underachieved in our VC choices. I had Heeney at 104, and my opponent had Rocky at 83. As such, today we both have to give our captains a run.
I am thinking as I have ground to make up, the only feasible way to do it is my captaining one of my unique players. Enter Dustin Martin. Is he the man for C? He probably will cop the Curnow tag at some point and history suggests Dusty does not play his A game against the blues. Then there is Alex Rance. He had a massive second half last week and is running into form. I just think Dusty's game has gone to another level this year and he is most capable of producing a big one today. My opponent has the C on Jelwood today.
If my strategy is flawed, or I have missed something let me know. Cheers
You are up against it TH1. Dusty is ur only option for C. I think his projected score (118) is pretty accurate, but he is the only one of your remaining 3 that can hit 140+. Good luck mate
I just noticed something else. We both have Nankervis, but he has used the Nank to loophole Stefan Martin's score. (Strnadica) I started Stefan Martin on the field. After having checked his bench, it appears he can not use the Nank to score points. That means another unique player as I have Nank on the field in my forward line. I have whacked the E on Bolton should the Nank be a late out. It seems I actually have 4 unique players to his 1. That should tighten things up a bit further.
Have Stefs points been added on to his score yet Toppa?
Wouldn't have if he's looping with Strnadica cos freo haven't played yet.
Damnit. Good point. Didn't think of that now did I?
Means I am chasing down 402 points with 4 unique players (one being captain-Dusty) vs his 1 unique player being his captain-Jelwood. Dusty will have to go BIG and Jelwood stay down to have any hope. Think I might be cooked. Where there is life there is hope I suppose.
So Stef on the bench with a E and Nank in Ruck?
If Nank plays he'll miss Stefs points?
No, Stef on the ruc bench with the E and Stradnica ruc on the field. Nank on his forward bench without the E on him.
Looking at your side against Moustachio.. Toppa you may be pushing shite up hill with a flat tyre on the wheel barrow..
Hahahaha. I reckon you might be onto something.
OK I'm with ya now, just checked both teams (both in my "first to go woo" league).
Yeah your up against it.
My opponent is 26 points up with Murphy and Riewoldt to play. I've got Selwood and Simpson. We both have Danger captain.
Is it worth changing my caption to Selwood or Doch as a point of difference?
