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

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 12:14
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.

Keenbutclueless · 10/08/2017 at 12:36
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.

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 12:48
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.

Shake n bake · 10/08/2017 at 13:04
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.

Keenbutclueless · 10/08/2017 at 15:07
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.

JohndJames · 10/08/2017 at 15:20
Love that idea Shake,they make an acception in the bye rounds,why not the finals.

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 16:14
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.

Shake n bake · 10/08/2017 at 16:15
I did that on already on Monday Russty.

JohndJames · 10/08/2017 at 19:48
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.

LEKD0G · 10/08/2017 at 21:09
Probably needs to stay the same but that hurts mate, make your trades and save as much of your weekend as you can

Northerner · 11/08/2017 at 08:23
Great suggestion

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 12:31
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.

LEKD0G · 10/08/2017 at 21:10
C I think

Nicko · 10/08/2017 at 22:28
Cheers Lek!

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 22:31
Amend that to…Highly unlikely to play this week!…bloody Media!

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 12:25
Billings is in good form at the moment Steeeve, averaging almost 103 in his last 3 games.

Nicko · 11/08/2017 at 14:53
what about fyfe
or do you have him

King-Willy-Pepsi-Can · 10/08/2017 at 12:39
He may take over bucks job

INPieman · 10/08/2017 at 12:53
Surely he couldn't do worse

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 13:02
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

Derek · 10/08/2017 at 13:44
You forget Zac was a Hawk first.

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 13:56
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.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 10/08/2017 at 13:26
Opens up a spot for Mayne.
LMAO!

INPieman · 10/08/2017 at 13:57
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!

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 13:59
LOL, sounds like some kind of evil spell there with all those 666's..think Mayne may be in league with the Devil.

INPieman · 10/08/2017 at 14:02
Yeah that league is called the VFL Russ

King-Willy-Pepsi-Can · 10/08/2017 at 14:42
so what will be maynes starting price next year pieman
maybe a nice pod for you

INPieman · 10/08/2017 at 15:26
About 300k in VFL SuperCoach

Stirlsy · 10/08/2017 at 19:31
Wells isn't 2 far behind him, what's he had? 2 good games…

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 21:27
He should retire this year too really, he's more of a liability to his team with his injury riddled body.

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 15:35
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

LEKD0G · 10/08/2017 at 21:12
It'll be hard but your VFL side will recover from this

INPieman · 10/08/2017 at 13:02
Can you make a 22 Stirlsy? Think plenty out there will struggle

Stirlsy · 10/08/2017 at 13:55
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

INPieman · 10/08/2017 at 14:01
It's going to be a challenging week mate. I have superstar Declan Mountford to fall back on

Stirlsy · 10/08/2017 at 15:15
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.

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 18:49
Brown and Deluca playing Stirlsy, 2 out of 3 ain't bad 🙂

Stirlsy · 10/08/2017 at 19:36
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

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 21:15
He's named onfield though mate, not on the bench.

Stirlsy · 10/08/2017 at 21:57
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.

Rick Grimes · 10/08/2017 at 17:02
Mountford is actually improving. Has a bit about him.

INPieman · 10/08/2017 at 17:16
I'll be praying your right Rick! 82 last week was good

hedski · 10/08/2017 at 17:48
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.

hedski · 10/08/2017 at 18:12
Bang 19 Rooey out.

Stirlsy · 10/08/2017 at 21:59
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

Stirlsy · 10/08/2017 at 22:11
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

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 12:54
Gawn….Zerrett only averaging 86 his last 3 games before he got suspended for this week.

INPieman · 10/08/2017 at 13:00
Zerrett is out this week. Pretty sure Max can get off the mark

Tyruddanaut · 10/08/2017 at 17:05
GAWN 100%. He is the GOAT of ruckman if you don't include Sandilands or Cox or……….. okay maybe not THE goat but close to it. Expect large and fear the light stubble (doesn't have the same ring as fear the beard)

LEKD0G · 10/08/2017 at 21:12
Gawn

Tyruddanaut · 10/08/2017 at 17:03
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

Paul · 10/08/2017 at 23:55
Meant Dusty not Stef… Have Gawn and Stef in rucks with Ryder fwd, looking to fix my mids

Rick Grimes · 10/08/2017 at 17:14
Here's a POD of mammoth proportions. Pearce Hanley. Has averaged 110 with Gaz out.

INPieman · 10/08/2017 at 17:18
Gary won't even travel to Brisbane now

LEKD0G · 10/08/2017 at 21:13
I wouldn't want to go to Brisbane either

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 21:25
When I lived on the Gold Coast, I didn't want to go to Brissy much either…too many Brissos! lol

Soothsayer · 10/08/2017 at 22:22
Lek dog you talked me out of going for Ablett last week- you are a legend, I went for crouch instead.

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 13:52
If you're in 5 elimination finals this week, I'd do it, or you'll be playing with 21.5 with Buzza onfield, whereas Gawn could get you 150..so you're in 10 finals next week possibly.

Tyruddanaut · 10/08/2017 at 16:56
It depends. If you think you'll be able to play Gawn next week with your left over cash I'd wait. Buzza's job security is weird. He's technically the teams third ruckman and that's unusual. The only other situation where it happens is Sydney where they only play two anyway.
Who's your R2 next to Grundy because you may have to waste him during R23?

Lazza · 10/08/2017 at 21:41
Buzz a is out

Randomcliche2 · 11/08/2017 at 00:05
Yes. Gawn is the bomb. Gawn BE low….can you afford him next week????? If not pull the trigger.

Tyruddanaut · 10/08/2017 at 16:51
Try to get Oliver, Gawn or Kelly in no particular order. Gawn would be the first and then flip a coin

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 15:31
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.

Tyruddanaut · 10/08/2017 at 16:49
Gawn is going to be the pick you need BUT you need all the points you can get. 'A' if Darcy is named

LEKD0G · 10/08/2017 at 21:14
A) I think

hedski · 10/08/2017 at 17:46
Dunno about the app but using game day on the website you can scroll thru the other matchups in your league.

LEKD0G · 10/08/2017 at 21:16
Glad my spell has worked mate

Trixymills · 10/08/2017 at 17:26
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

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 17:27
Thinking Neale has a higher ceiling..and a bit more consistency too.

LEKD0G · 10/08/2017 at 21:16
Neale

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 17:48
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.

hedski · 10/08/2017 at 18:11
Ah crap balls rsole prick. Looking at 3 donuts.

LEKD0G · 10/08/2017 at 21:17
Bryce

Gareth · 10/08/2017 at 18:27
Or option 3 Ryder in fwd line and play Darcy on the field in the ruck and upgrade scharenburg or h.greenwood ?

LEKD0G · 10/08/2017 at 21:18
Crouch and Gawn

hedski · 10/08/2017 at 18:32
Option 1 Sloanedogs back

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 18:52
Neale…Kelly?

Joshua · 10/08/2017 at 19:01
Yeah I reckon it's out of Neale or Kelly but thinking really hard about Menegola with Jelwood out.

Joshua · 10/08/2017 at 19:05
Gonna go with Neale.

Joshua · 10/08/2017 at 19:22
I think chances are leaning towards him staying in the team, he's been in pretty good form

Don't Blush Baby · 10/08/2017 at 21:01
IMO – T.Jonas @ 379K ,Callum Mills @ 356k or J.Webster @ 379k – there are others but there my picks

Nugget · 10/08/2017 at 21:04
Thanks dude…! Which one will have the best run home?

LEKD0G · 10/08/2017 at 21:19
He's in the Cheat Sheet and his name is Luke Ryan

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 21:23
He's a few grand short of Luke LEK.

Nugget · 11/08/2017 at 03:20
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?

LEKD0G · 10/08/2017 at 21:20
Hmmm, Gibbs

JohndJames · 10/08/2017 at 21:01
Danger VC,Mitch C.

Randomcliche2 · 11/08/2017 at 00:06
Same

hedski · 10/08/2017 at 21:06
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.

hedski · 10/08/2017 at 21:26
Yep, 13 goals will do it Lancelot, 560 points as Captain and I'm in with a sniff….

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 21:32
Only problem there is Hedski, you can't C Danger if you do that, games are too close together.

hedski · 11/08/2017 at 07:16
Ah crap, thought swans played tonight.
Might go Lancelot into Sloanedog, I'm pushing shit uphill anyway.

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 21:28
I'm thinking Danger into Gawn DBB.

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 22:17
1:

Randomcliche2 · 10/08/2017 at 23:58
All good, but I like 3.

Randomcliche2 · 11/08/2017 at 00:03
Yikes a Bont Rocky Gray would make a great F1 to F3…..stop trying to trick me…..CD won't do that…

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 23:00
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?

Leeds17 · 11/08/2017 at 06:14
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.

Randomcliche2 · 10/08/2017 at 23:56
Rocky plus Ryder?

Leeds17 · 11/08/2017 at 06:10
Can't bring myself to bring in Rocky again,

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 23:27
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.

garfield_da_cat · 11/08/2017 at 00:07
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??

Russty_ · 11/08/2017 at 00:17
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.

Russty_ · 11/08/2017 at 00:18
It's not about money now…it's about points you can score.

Russty_ · 11/08/2017 at 00:54
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.

garfield_da_cat · 11/08/2017 at 06:37
cheers for the advice rusty, it's helped me out a lot.

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 23:35
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.

James · 10/08/2017 at 23:43
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

Russty_ · 10/08/2017 at 23:57
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.

garfield_da_cat · 11/08/2017 at 00:12
Mitchell, the hawks have got an easier run home which means Mitchell is more likely to go big.

Cory · 11/08/2017 at 08:21
And Mitchell has been super consistent all year

HarrisonThodis · 11/08/2017 at 09:28
Mitchell for consistency, Dusty for a higher ceiling

Soothsayer · 11/08/2017 at 11:05
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

gator59 · 11/08/2017 at 11:56
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…

The Ranger · 11/08/2017 at 10:49
Witherden and Merrett will be back so I'd trade Ablett and Hibberd.

Corey · 11/08/2017 at 08:20
Greenwood

HarrisonThodis · 11/08/2017 at 09:47
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

Rocksta · 11/08/2017 at 08:30
Fyfe

Soothsayer · 11/08/2017 at 11:02
Crouch and Oliver both consistently high but Fyfe at the moment

Defying_Madness · 11/08/2017 at 11:15
Fyfe is named full forward, beware

Corey · 11/08/2017 at 11:39
Option 1

gator59 · 11/08/2017 at 12:01
I agree with Corey.. Option 1

Soothsayer · 11/08/2017 at 23:27
Thanks Corey and Gator I'll do it, wish me luck

Corey · 11/08/2017 at 11:40
Ryan

Keenbutclueless · 11/08/2017 at 12:05
Berry is out

SmoothCriminals · 11/08/2017 at 12:49
Berry

Joshua · 11/08/2017 at 19:39
Both goners

egg · 12/08/2017 at 11:13
if its a group of 3 which addes in my dead nana, I'd say nan is the best chance of the 3.

Cogla13 · 11/08/2017 at 13:19
And Berry is out of the Qclash as well.
