SuperCoach RD21: LekDog’s Cheat Sheet
G’day Community ad welcome to an injury riddled Cheat Sheet.
This hurt. It hurt a lot. The week. The injuries. Everything. I’m flat as a tack.
If you have trades left then you don’t need my advice, if you don’t well then you’re eating donuts like me! Enjoy this week’s cheat sheet anyway!
As always, thanks to Fantasy Insider – remember, the famous lineup cruncher is now FREE so jump in here. Almost a must for those getting onboard the weekly Jock Reynolds Academy and/or Graduate contests (huge $$ added to the Graduates contest this week, enter right about here).

Why save my trades 4 left with $480k in the kitty then just after last rd l get 5 outs even when l use 2 trades this week im still going to be 1 short! Dont you think finals should be like bye rds and if your lucky enough to save your trades you should be able to make 3 trades??!!
Luck of the draw but I see your point, Shake. Reckon if you've managed your team well enough to get to this point they should just throw it open and let you use as many of your remaining trades as you see fit. Still have a chance for those teams that scraped into the 8 to compete with the better teams
Yeah I agree, you should be able to use 3 in finals if you have them, not unlimited though, for those like you who have managed their team well enough to actually have trades left, you should have that option.
I would like to see trades remain limited to 30, but you can use as many as you like any week. It's the 2 per week restriction that's puzzling.
Hey Keen, I reckon it's to stop guys blowing all their trades before the first half the season ends…hence losing interest and abandoning their teams, which would make many others lose interest when their Leagues turn into a wasteland of abandoned teams, and damaging future participation in Supercoach.
I don't mind the 2 trades per week during the yr and if this scenario happens with all my outs im happy to cop a zero its not be all end all. But it always happens finals time with especially resting or just players out for the rest of the yr now it is be all end all.
I think you are right. I think I only see this game through my own addicted eyes. Yours is a broader, saner and more rational view.
Love that idea Shake,they make an acception in the bye rounds,why not the finals.
Hey John, only way for a change like that to take place is if Supercoaches provide feedback to the powers that be, en masse through the Survey they do every season…I'd like to see that too.
I did that on already on Monday Russty.
I saw at the top of my screen that they would like feedback on our SC experience,so maybe we could mention that.Not sure it would help me personally though since either I wouldn't have the trades to do it or I would be trying to save them,hopefully for the GF. Still a good idea though.
Probably needs to stay the same but that hurts mate, make your trades and save as much of your weekend as you can
Great suggestion
I have 2 trades remaining and playing an elimination final. Think I screwed my team by trading out Nank and holding Roo. Now Roo seems to be injured which means Greenwood will be on field regardless.
What to do out of these options?:
A. Trade Jelwood for Dusty, trade out Roo for a cheap non-playing rookie so I can loophole Josh Thomas / Greenwood (on my fwd bench)
B. Trade Jelwood to Bont, trade out Roo for Ryan Burton. It would kill any loophole option in my fwd line moving forward.
C. Trade Jelwood for Dusty, trade out Parsons for a cheap non-playing rookie so I can loophole and keep Roo.
Thanks in advance!
Richo has said Roo is highly likely to play this week, that being said, you have to do whatever you can this week to win by getting the best team onfield possible, do or die this week, good luck.
C I think
Cheers Lek!
Amend that to…Highly unlikely to play this week!…bloody Media!
Only have about $450k to play with replacing Lynch. Would love a fwd/mid to loop with Greenwood but can't loop up forward anyway unless Parsons is dropped.
Any decent forward options in my price range? Or at all?
Currently have Macrae, Dahl, JJK, Heeney, Franklin, Greenwood.
Or just keep Greenwood at f6 and use a swing to trade Lynch out for someone like Rockliff to loop at m9?
Billings is in good form at the moment Steeeve, averaging almost 103 in his last 3 games.
Best trade in for Selwood out of:
-Mitchell
-Neale
-Oliver
-Matt Crouch
-Dayne Zorko
Money is not a issue!!
My last two trades this week was Grundy to S. Martin and selwood to ryder via DPP. Thinking of changing that for Grundy to ryder and selwood to a menegola/heppell?
This week I've swapped Lloyd to my midfield &have Greenwood as my last midfielder (miles on bench/Oh and merrett fml) which means I have to play Shaw in my backline off the bench.
This week is a struggle
What a sad day for football. Jesse White has retired. 3 boxes of Kleenex down already
He may take over bucks job
Surely he couldn't do worse
Yes I'm sure he'll be sorely missed, much like the Saints missed Zac Dawson when he left and went with his mate Ross lol
You forget Zac was a Hawk first.
Hey Derek, yeah I remember that, they made the right call though and delisted his useless ass before he could damage their team before they went on to improve bigtime.
Opens up a spot for Mayne.
LMAO!
If Chris Mayne stays on 3 AFL games this year that will be $166,666.66 per game this year. Nice work. If that's the only games he plays for the Pies that will be $666,666.66 per game. The bloke must be a good as NEYMAR. And by the way you can make MAYNE from NEYMAR. ITS A SIGN!
LOL, sounds like some kind of evil spell there with all those 666's..think Mayne may be in league with the Devil.
Yeah that league is called the VFL Russ
so what will be maynes starting price next year pieman
maybe a nice pod for you
About 300k in VFL SuperCoach
Wells isn't 2 far behind him, what's he had? 2 good games…
He should retire this year too really, he's more of a liability to his team with his injury riddled body.
It really feels like the end of an era these past few weeks with all the big names retiring, big names not including Jesse white lol
It'll be hard but your VFL side will recover from this
Great stuff as always LekDog but im beyond help, no trades leave's me in the lap of them bastard SC gods for my 2 Semi's
Can you make a 22 Stirlsy? Think plenty out there will struggle
20 at this stage Pieman looks like opponents are in the same boat going on last weeks teams they had, but no idea if they have trades
It's going to be a challenging week mate. I have superstar Declan Mountford to fall back on
Lol, well I can hope that 3 rookies get a game Bolton Brown or Deluca the last named might have a chance,
Only played 3 leagues this year str8 to prelim in other one.
It is what it is, we just roll with the punches.
Brown and Deluca playing Stirlsy, 2 out of 3 ain't bad 🙂
1 Defo in Deluca Browns no sure thing Russty ….. Bucks will play Cox Aish and Broomhead IMO hope im wrong but 21 now on ground its better then 20
He's named onfield though mate, not on the bench.
Yep I see that now after looking at teams instead of ins and outs.
Still the 21 iv got to cover sel and merrett but only got bolton sitting in the gut bench all others mid only so ill loop the best of Deluca and Brown or look at Deluca's score first and pic a loser both hard away games for the kids.
If De pulls above 50 ill probably take that if not ill roll with Brown.
Mountford is actually improving. Has a bit about him.
I'll be praying your right Rick! 82 last week was good
20 also Stirlsy, Deluca will take me to 21. Woo hoo. Haven't had a donut all year now I'll probably have a couple of the pricks.
Bang 19 Rooey out.
Can you tell me who yr picking in Draftstars Hedski ….. ill stay away from them, it seems every turn u take you find injury.
LOL
I'v gotta stop looking at my team, the loop is dead, Deluca plays/starts 25mins b4 Bolton so ill have to look up till the 20min mark and pick one,
Leaning towards Brown cos im a pie….. Thoughts
Have 1,088k to use this week to trade Selwood and Merrett. Probably looking to go with one of Martin/Mitchell and Gibbs.
Who is a better option out of Martin v Mitchell, and is Gibbs the best second option – or am I better off getting two mids at 550k?
If you don't have Gawn then get him in with Kelly/Neale/Oliver. Otherwise if you also don't have Nank or Ryder in FWD then the last resort would be Kreuzer and Bont/Murphy/Gibbs in that particular order.
Ok ok if you also have Kreuzer AND Gawn then I'd go for Jacobs and a player of your choice
Meant Dusty not Stef… Have Gawn and Stef in rucks with Ryder fwd, looking to fix my mids
Ablett out.
Here's a POD of mammoth proportions. Pearce Hanley. Has averaged 110 with Gaz out.
Gary won't even travel to Brisbane now
I wouldn't want to go to Brisbane either
When I lived on the Gold Coast, I didn't want to go to Brissy much either…too many Brissos! lol
Lek dog you talked me out of going for Ablett last week- you are a legend, I went for crouch instead.
who to get with only one trade remaining. Have Zerret / Jelwood and Witts
So do i bring in Kruezer/Gawn/Neale/Oliver/Kelly or maybe Fyfe
only in 3 semi finals
Try to get Oliver, Gawn or Kelly in no particular order. Gawn would be the first and then flip a coin
1 trade left, stuff all $ in the bank do !,
a) trade Selwood to Gibbs / Hanners and hope Darcy is named for Freo in Ruck or
b) bench Selwood, put Jake LLoyd on as M8 & trade Mummy to Gawn
Cheers
Hi Simo, Darcy should play this week for sure as he was only being rested, so option 1 sounds good, as Mummy is only missing this week.
Gawn is going to be the pick you need BUT you need all the points you can get. 'A' if Darcy is named
A) I think
Hey community:
Normally you can view the squad of a team in your league via the Gameday feature of the iOS supercoach app. I want to be able to view teams in my league that are not visible in the Gameday section due to them having a week for the premiIs so I can stalk their trades this week. Is there anywhere on the app that you can look a team up?
Dunno about the app but using game day on the website you can scroll thru the other matchups in your league.
Why am I here? I have 0 trades left and still have this craving for the cheat sheet. Lekdog's magic
Glad my spell has worked mate
Kelly or Neale?
I got jelwood and zerret out with three trades left I'm considering looping rockcliff as emergency and if he fails then pull trigger on them two and going with Neale , Kelly , crouch or Sloane. Really can't decide at the moment I'm sure all will perform well but leaning towards Kelly and Sloane
Thinking Neale has a higher ceiling..and a bit more consistency too.
Neale
I live in Western Australia..is that close to Albuquerque?
My SC team is a train wreck, do you cover that?
LOL, only if you were using your Train as a personal passenger only train Hedski…Pofahl..sounds like a fart noise.
Call Fart Noise Law Firm.
NRoo out too.
It's the week that just keeps giving.
Ah crap balls rsole prick. Looking at 3 donuts.
A change of club would only further enhance the temptation
Hanners or Bryce??
Bryce
Gotta trade ablett and roo out.
Tossing up between sloane and Greene or Brad crouch and Gwen and move Ryder into fwd line… thoughts on the better option?
Or option 3 Ryder in fwd line and play Darcy on the field in the ruck and upgrade scharenburg or h.greenwood ?
Crouch and Gawn
Option 1 Sloanedogs back
Why is Fyfe named full forward?????
Screw you Ross, up to your tricks again.
Callum Brown named onfield too, that's handy.
Who to trade Jelwood to? Other mids are Danger, Dusty, Titch, Fyfe, Bont, Hannebery and Adams. Can afford anyone from 557k down (Kelly being the most expensive option)
Neale…Kelly?
Yeah I reckon it's out of Neale or Kelly but thinking really hard about Menegola with Jelwood out.
Gonna go with Neale.
Any chance Scharenberg doesn't play? Was good last couple. Has only been named on extended bench. Got no other cover and would prefer not to use my one trade down back.
I think chances are leaning towards him staying in the team, he's been in pretty good form
Any word on Jpk???
Have had witts danger Selwood jpk wjtherdan and Bolton drilled or injured in a week ffs. Need something
Dear Cash League Entrants. Just an update on the highest weekly score of the season. We have new club house leaders. In cash league 1 General Soreness (Shane) posted a 2467 last week. And in Cash league 2 Texinator (Sarah) posted a 2550. It will be hard to see all scores moving forward so if you beat them please contact me by email. Good luck
Who's the best possible DEF player I can pick given I only have $381.9k to spend. I need to trade Witherden with my last trade or will he come back next week? Big decision as it's my last trade..
Thanks for your advise guys!
He's in the Cheat Sheet and his name is Luke Ryan
He's a few grand short of Luke LEK.
If only!!!! Lol Just miss out by exactly 5K…
I can touch him with my fingertips but can't get a grip!
He was the perfect choice but need some more flash. Who's the next best choice down from him?
Menegola or Gibbs?
Hmmm, Gibbs
VC & C ,whats everyone thinking ? At this stage I'm going Bont into Danger
Danger VC,Mitch C.
Same
I'm gonna hang them out and put an out of form Buddy vc cos my opponent doesn't have him and I'm playing 2 short.
I figure if he scores 240-300 I'm in with a chance.
Yep, 13 goals will do it Lancelot, 560 points as Captain and I'm in with a sniff….
Only problem there is Hedski, you can't C Danger if you do that, games are too close together.
Ah crap, thought swans played tonight.
Might go Lancelot into Sloanedog, I'm pushing shit uphill anyway.
I'm thinking Danger into Gawn DBB.
Like it, another option to ponder on
Neale & menegola,
Zorko & gibbs
Or parker & bont?
Last 2 trades
1:
All good, but I like 3.
If he gets fwd DPP, you won't be alone!
Yikes a Bont Rocky Gray would make a great F1 to F3…..stop trying to trick me…..CD won't do that…
Want to bring in Ryder for Grundy but would only leave $440,900 to replace Selwood, Not convinced by Stef Martin had 40+ hit outs last 2 weeks and hasn't hit a ton, but 440K doesn't leave me many options Dixon or Franklin play a Mid/Fwd in the mids or Rance and play Adams in the mids super risky moves but I'm not against them, If there was a half decent Mid option I'd take it, but Gaff, Viney, Priddis, Hanley SSelwood just arn't that.
If I was to go Grundy to Martin, I'd have $530,800 to replace Selwood which obviously opens up a lot more options but I do think Ryder will out score Martin 15+ points a week over the 3 games.
Hi Leeds, I'd trust Martin will do ok for you and get the best mid in I could for $530,800..Brad Crouch could be your man, Ross, Heppell, Coniglio?
Seb Ross interests me think I need a bloke who's going to go 110 over the 3 weeks to make it worth while Stef most likely scoring less than Ryder
Tbh I know what the smart trade is but I'm just hung up on what Ryder could do to Mason Cox, Jordan Roughead & Dan Currie.
Rocky plus Ryder?
Can't bring myself to bring in Rocky again,
Hi guys i am after a bit of advice. I have this week off after winning last week and winning through to prelim finals. However i only have 2 trades left and 112k in the bank, i need to trade out 3 players though Grundy, Houston and Selwood so there in lies the problem who do i keep and who do i trade out? i only have 2 main rucks Grundy and Gawn (Strndika bench) and my fwdline is weak Yeo, Macrae, Dahlhaus, Buddy, Daniher, Houston with Parsons and Smith on the bench. Any advice guys?
Hey Garfield, Here's my suggestion, hope it helps….Grundy to Mumford next week and then you'll have $486,000 to replace Houston with as long as he doesn't crack 91 this week. You should be able to get a good fwd for that price. Let Selwood rot on the bench.
Thanks for the advice rusty but do you think Mummy will go up in price much by next week? and shouldn't i bring in a mid given they score more than fwds? And if Houston doesn't crack 91 which given his form is likely that he won't then his price will go down so wouldn't it be better to move him on this week before i lose more money on him??
Hey Garfield, Mummy's price won't change cause he's suspended this week, and Houston will probably drop 10 possibly 15k depending on what he gets this week but you should still be able to afford a decent forward, you can't afford to have him or Parsons on the field.
I don't know what your midfield looks like but you do need someone better than Houston or Parsons starting fwd.
It's not about money now…it's about points you can score.
Sorry Garfield I misunderstood, yeah you could move Houston on this week and then next week, Grundy to Mumford, possibly Martin in next week depending on who you can afford.
cheers for the advice rusty, it's helped me out a lot.
3 trades, $74k in the bank. I've got the week off this week in my league because I made it to the prelims, I wasn't going to make any trades this week but I need to get rid of Grundy and Selwood. Any suggestions for what I should do?
DEF: Docherty, Hurley, Laird, Simpson, Adams, Shaw (Witherden, Ryan)
MID: Danger, Martin, Zorko, Merrett, Fyfe, Bont, Treloar, Jelwood (Allison, Cousins, Glass)
RUCK: Grundy, Gawn (English)
FWD: Macrae, Franklin, Heeney, Dahlhaus, Yeo, Greewnood (Strnadica, Young)
Thanks!!
Hey James, I'd start Ryan over Shaw..unless Shaw outscores him this week…
Next week, Grundy to Mumford (3 round av 119) or Martin, and Jelwood for the best you can afford with the best short term average.
Would it be a good idea if I went witherden to Spencer to free up a lot of cash, and then go grundy to Kreuzer or Ryder? And next week upgrade Selwood to any premium leaving me with no trades
Up to you mate, but If I were you, I'd rather have one trade in the bank before your grand final starts…rather than not.
I'm just saying what I would do, not what I think you should do…trust your gut for the final decision.
Dusty or Mitchell?
Mitchell, the hawks have got an easier run home which means Mitchell is more likely to go big.
And Mitchell has been super consistent all year
Mitchell for consistency, Dusty for a higher ceiling
who to get rid of.. have one trade Jelwood or Witts..have Ryder and Nank to cover rucks.. also have Zerret out
have 102k in kitty
How's your forward cover with nank in rucks, it could depend on who he leaves playing in the forward line. you need to cover a gap in either the ruck/mids/forwards with that dilemma so its hard to choose
Hi Sooth. have decided to go with big Maxy or Kruez which puts the Nank back into fwds
can cover all lines and if i make it through to prelims i have Merret to bring back in next week and swing yeo fwd which still leaves me with a good team…… fingers crossed the sc gods have done all there damage and cause no more pain other wise i'm TED……………ROOTED…
Need to trade out one of HIbberd, Witherden and Nyhuis to fill the 6 for defence and one of Treloar, Merrett, Ablett and Cousins to fill the 8 in midfield.
Got 3 trades left and 120k in the bank.
Any help is appreciated.
Witherden and Merrett will be back so I'd trade Ablett and Hibberd.
Who would you start this week on field:
Nank or Greenwood?
Greenwood
Treloar has been named .. why trade him out?
R.Gray or Rockliff
If you're the underdog Rockliff, could storm it home, could also flop. If you're favourite then Gray, plus a home fixture to the suns last round
Best trade in for Selwood out of:
-Kelly
-Fyfe
-Oliver
-Matt Crouch
-Dayne Zorko
Money is not a issue!!
Fyfe
Crouch and Oliver both consistently high but Fyfe at the moment
Fyfe is named full forward, beware
With one trade Josh, I'd keep it for an injury right up until Thursday teams are named in SC GF week.
Even then, if you have cover perhaps keep it to see how things go throughout the round and use it for a late upgrade if no late outs.
For anyone who's playing Dream Team – look at the team of Statesman, he's 3rd. Pretty impressive.
Who is a better downgrade option – Allison from Brisbane or Corey Maynard from the Dees?
Hi Community, I am stuck with a real dilemma for the first time this year with my last two trades – playing semi's this week.
1. Mumford/jelwood > Gawn/Oliver
2. Jelwood/witherden > Danger/rookie (with Nank cover for Mumford)
3. jelwood/witherden > Sloane/Ryan (nank as cover, lloyd into mids)
any opinions gratefully accepted.
Option 1
I agree with Corey.. Option 1
Thanks Corey and Gator I'll do it, wish me luck
Start Heath Shaw or Luke Ryan? – wont have anyone to loophole unfortunately!
Ryan
LLOYD or Berry on ground
Berry is out
Berry
Who out of Lynch and Selwood have the best chance of coming back and playing round 22 or 23. 1 trade left and lotsa money in bank 🙂
Both goners
if its a group of 3 which addes in my dead nana, I'd say nan is the best chance of the 3.
spp rested, another one down.
And Berry is out of the Qclash as well.
