The drums are beating. The sweat drips off brows across the office, as you stare down your opponent, bloody Gary from HR. It’s always Gary from HR.
He’s not even good at Supercoach, he picked a team with Shaun Higgins and Brandon Ellis and Elliot Yeo and by some freak of nature – some ungodly freak of nature – he’s made it to the grand final. He started a midfield with all of Beams, Murphy, Oliver, Jaeger and Crouch.
He’s the sort of madman who starts Matt Kruezer because that his favourite player, after doing so for eight years and it him finishing 16th, and then claim he’s a genius because it worked this year.
IT’S NOT HAPPENING, GARY. Community – you need to finish your office’s Gary. Put that pretender back in his place.
JUST RELEASED: JOCK’S ADVICE FOR FACING THE OFF SEASON HERE
THE NEWS
Isn’t as bad as we expected it to be… so far. The outs will come, don’t you worry about that.
Starting with what we know, Gary Ablett has thrown the toys out with the bathwater and pulled out of the Gold Coast 22 only two hours after he was named with a sore heartstring hamstring.
Daniel Hannebury is listed as out with a hip complaint for the Swans, while Nic Newman comes in for him.
Sean Darcy has been suspended for a week, so misses – however Freo are bolstered by the return of Lachie Neale.
Michael Hurley will again miss with a calf problem.
A whole bunch of North Melbourne rookies will be missing, with Brayden Pruess, Cam Zurhaar, Taylor Garner and Daniel Nielson all missing this week.
Ryan Burton and Ricky Henderson will miss for the Hawks, while Bed Ried was withdrawn from Collingwood’s side this morning.
After rumours he would miss, Chris Fagan has confirmed Dayne Zorko will play.
Chris Fagan says @DayneZorko will definitely play tomorrow while Hipwood (knee) is still doubtful @AFL
— Michael Whiting (@MichaelWhiting) August 24, 2017
We’re also unsure how Todd Goldstein is holding up this week, and the added Battle for the Spoon factor in this week’s North vs Lions clash could tip him into ‘rested’.
Todd Goldstein battling eye, elbow and knee injuries. Strong mail he might miss v Lions. Roos still hopeful he plays but not sure yet
— Jon Ralph (@RalphyHeraldSun) August 25, 2017
And to sink the boot into 2018 before it’s even started, we’ve got some rookies! Harry “Generic Middle Name Here” Morrison will debut for Hawthorn, possibly lining up against Patrick “You Forgot To File Your Paperwork,” Lipinski. Meanwhile, for North Melbourne, Ben “This Is The Third Time I’ve Had To Think Of A McKay Pun This Year And I’ve Just About Had It” McKay will debut, and the late inclusion of Kayle ~whooshing noises~ Kirby will inflate the price of what was 2018’s forward rookie lock.
We also might see the possible debuts of Jake “The Snake On A Lake” Waterman and Baily “Steamed” Rice on Sunday.
THE PATCH UP
If you’ve made it to a grand final and still got trades, your side does not need patching up. If anything, you should be telling me what to do. I’m instead looking forward to 2018, in particular positional changes.
2018 DPP watching has begun. Would love to know exact criteria used to decide changes, these are some I’m keeping an eye on in round 23 pic.twitter.com/lKOxqkPuRL
— Patch (@PatchToTheMax) August 21, 2017
On top of this, the forward line is likely to get even more difficult in 2018, as I’m fully expecting a lot of mid/forwards to lose their dual position eligibility. The big three Dogs in Dahlhaus, Macrae and Toby McLean are all likely to be mid only next year, and there are a few other players who are borderline.
While I’m not sure what the criteria champion data/Supercoach HQ use to define positional changes, I’m concerned we may lose a few more forwards. Jack Gunston should retain forward status, but Elliot Yeo is likely to be def/mid instead of fwd/mid, James Sicily will be defence and Shaun Higgins (as much as you’ll laugh at me for suggesting he’ll be a loss) will probably move to a midfield only selection.
Sure, we’ll gain Robbie Gray as a forward only selection, but those suggesting Dustin Martin, Paddy Dangerfield or The Bont will pick up forward eligibility are kidding themselves – none of them are spending enough time or picking up enough ball inside forward 50.
So it looks like we’re going to have to lean on our key position forwards… again. Either that or hope we’ve got a lot of high-quality forward rookies in 2018.
In defence we’re going to have a plethora of options – Taylor Adams is about the only loss we’ll have. Jake Lloyd will be cheap, as will Jason Johanissen, and the players mentioned above who gain defensive status will all provide extremely valid options.
The one I have my eye on this week is Pearce Hanley from the Gold Coast Suns, who’s had a torrid year with injury, and heading home after his brother passed away earlier in the year. Hanley is an electric player when he gets up and running, and should play a big role in the club’s third rebuild. If he gets defensive DPP (which I reckon he will), he’s a big smokie for mine.

HEY NOW, YOU’RE A DRAFTSTAR
But why are we looking at next year when we’ve still got Daily Fantasy to play with? This week’s contest is the St Kilda vs Richmond clash at the MCG, which will see Nick Riewoldt play his final game.
While that’s a big chance to pull the Saints over the line, I can’t see it happening, with Richmond too strong and too good and – after being comprehensively pantsed last time – won’t be fooled by the Saints’ antics again this time.
I’d wager Alex Rance won’t be sucked into defensive 50, but his form in Draftstars isn’t great – he tends to be a better Supercoach pick. So, I’ve gone with two Saints this week in Shane Savage, who’s in good form, and Jake Carlisle, who’s likely to be freed up by the Tiger’s lack of tall timber.
In the middle, I’ve omitted Dustin Martin on the back of Fantasy Insider’s score predicter – supposed to hit 114, Dustin’s price tag just doesn’t seem worth it. Instead I’ve gone with value in Luke Dunstan and Dion Prestia, the latter of whom has had a stellar three weeks since he’s returned to the side.
The leap of faith on Daniel Rioli and Jason Castagna will win it or lose it for me. Both players are extremely up and down, but I’m banking one of them has a week like Jacob Townsend did last week and kick a few sausage rolls. What are your thoughts, community?

CAPTAIN McCAPTAINFACE
Dustin Martin only scored 74 the last time he played the Saints, despite no tag going to him, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t go large this weekend – especially as the Saints.
Supercoach Gold is expecting Lewis Taylor to be the third highest scoring player of the round so obviously we should all trade him in and make him captain.
Or you could stick with the tried and tested combination of Tom Mitchell and Paddy Dangerfield as VC and C, or give The Bont or Jack Macrae a fair old shake of the sauce bottle on Friday night footy.
Zach Merrett and Nathaniel Fyfe go head to head on Sunday, and one of those will go off the chain. I’m hoping for Essendon’s sake his name starts with “Z” and ends with “achary Merrett”.
The only two ‘left-field’ options I’d consider this week are an in-form Patrick Ryder against the fourth-string ruck setup of the Gold Coast Suns (I mean Tom Bellchambers scored 128 against them last week. Tom Bellchambers.) or Dayne Zorko, despite him letting me down every time I’ve suggested him as a captaincy option. So take that as you will.
AND THAT’S ALL, FOLKS.
That’s the Panic Room done for another year – we now get eight months off panicking, screaming and stressing over our Supercoach teams, which of course means I have eight months off trying to calm down.
Thank you to Jock, Higgo and Crouching for all their love, kindness, care and fly-kicking to the face (it’s character building) this year. Similarly Barron, Carl and Lek have all been stellar this year – in particularly Lek who’ll message me at about 5.00 every Friday picking up the singular instance I’ve used the wrong word/first name for a Crouch brother. Huge thank you as well to those behind the scenes flapping tarp, and to Kev for filling in while I was away!
And most importantly thank you for reading – from those who comment all over the place to those who lurk in the background, thank you all. See you in the lead up to 2018!

Bloody Franklin has been bloody brilliant so far!…onya Buddyboy…another 50 points would be just peachy thanks 🙂

Woohoo!!! Cocaine and hookers for everybody!
Rivo · 25/08/2017 at 12:50
Thanks Patch for your wisdoms this season. Been a roller coaster for many of us. My teams cooked so playing for rank/pride this week.
With no trades and a fwd donut, it's down to captain choice.
1. Danger VC into Matt Crouch?
2. Gawn VC into Danger?
3. Buddy VC into Danger?
Good luck to those that made the big dance.
Patch · 25/08/2017 at 12:58
#yolo it with a Buddy VC for mine, Rivo!
Conan the Westy · 26/08/2017 at 19:33
That's the choice I went with…10 goals later, I'm feeling a bit smug.
BloodyFranklin · 26/08/2017 at 21:20
#yolo #ftw #yoloftw
Tyruddanaut · 25/08/2017 at 19:27
Id say Buddy wil kick 20, especially against my blues
Stirlsy · 25/08/2017 at 12:58
Looks like Fatso is getting a game for the Pies.
Stirlsy · 25/08/2017 at 13:00
Danger into Merrett for the last game.
TheGreatBozza · 25/08/2017 at 13:03
KAYLE KIRBY!! I hope he kicks 5 snags and sinks the Dees!
Northerner · 25/08/2017 at 13:44
West Coast supporter?
TheGreatBozza · 25/08/2017 at 14:00
Nope one eyed magpie. Just want to knock off the Dees since they've had the wood over us
INPieman · 25/08/2017 at 13:27
Relton 2.0
Stirlsy · 25/08/2017 at 13:41
We going to be small up fwd this week.
Ruddigar · 25/08/2017 at 16:00
What about Darcy Moore?. Mate of mine took a bet for a grand at the start of the year with a pies supporter. The wager was that Hogan would kick more goals than Moore.
He just about give it up but would you believe that after suspension his fathers death cancer and a busted collar bone he is just five down. Darcy can actually play but this really shows how tough it is to play as a forward at the pies when they just won't go forward and give him a chance to compete
Stirlsy · 25/08/2017 at 16:40
Think they have killed the kid this year Ruddigar, he played in the back line a bit in 2s and i would of played him back or on a wing all year for development he was way off being a key fwd this year.
The Ranger · 25/08/2017 at 14:46
Woohoo! You seen him play Stirlsy? He's good. Fat. But good.
Tibor · 25/08/2017 at 16:01
Plugger was fat
Danny Frawley · 25/08/2017 at 16:12
In that case Don Bradman was fat too Tibor you moron
Stirlsy · 25/08/2017 at 16:35
Fatso was the term/name given to Kirby by a Community member who did a write up on him in the Preseason all in good fun.
Stirlsy · 25/08/2017 at 16:32
No Ranger im in WA, heard a lot about him and seen a few highlights looks a classic small fwd who knows where the goals are.
Sana · 25/08/2017 at 13:00
My final decision of the year: Newman, Ryan or Witherden on field…?
Honno · 25/08/2017 at 13:03
Witherdon for mine.
Tyruddanaut · 25/08/2017 at 19:32
Newman won't touch it with the ball in the favour 90% of the time
Margie · 25/08/2017 at 13:01
Thanks Patch. I am on a SC learning curse and you are one that I have learnt a lot from. I am in a ten team family league and we are very ordinary, however I made the GF against my Dad. I know the Captain's loophole and will go Titch into Danger but I would like to try the emergency loophole in my defence. I have Hibberd, NM, who I will put on the field but who do I put on my bench and who as emergency please out of Lloyd, Rance and Ryan. My other defenders I am confident that they will do ok – Adams, Hibberd (Melb), Roberton and Laird. If you or someone have time can you explain it carefully because I don't want to mess up.
NovemberFoxtrotIndia · 25/08/2017 at 15:55
Make sure your E plays first and then after he's finished if you like his score put the non playing on field.
If you don't like his score put your non playing onto the bench and bring your other playing onto the field.
Hope this helps.
Margie. · 25/08/2017 at 16:37
So November etc – Funny name. Hibberd, NM whose team plays Sat @ 2.10 on field with Lloyd, Sydney Emergency playing at 4.35 Sat. If Lloyd scores well, leave it as it is, but if Lloyd scores under say 60 points, swap Ryan, Freo, who is also on my bench but without an E, with Hibberd, NM and hope that Ryan scores better than 60.
Is this correct? It is important because I want to beat Dad. My girlfriends at school told me not to be a stress head!! None of them play SC but I think I will get a class team next year but no boys.
Patch · 25/08/2017 at 18:25
Hi Margie! Mitch Hibberd plays before all of those players, so you won't be able to use the loophole. (He will be locked out while Lloyd is playing). You've got the right idea though – that's how you do it, you just have to check the times each week to see who is playing first!
Good luck beating your dad!
neil demons delight · 25/08/2017 at 17:25
think I worked your name out N F I No f I DEA
The Ranger · 25/08/2017 at 16:35
I don't think there's a loophole you can do there Margie as Hibberd(nth) plays before the other three that you want to loop.
If he's onfield then you will automatically get whoever has the E.
You need your non-playing player to be in a team that is playing after the two on the bench, one of whom has the E on them.
If the player that has the E does well you leave the non-playing player onfield, in not you swap them with your other bench player
Margie. · 25/08/2017 at 18:07
Thanks. I will leave it and learn more for next year.
TheGreatBozza · 25/08/2017 at 13:11
Thanks Patch for your wisdom all year. I hope you take down Gary from HR. I find myself in the GF this week with 2 trades left and $75K
DEF: Adams, Doc, Howe, Laird, Ryan, Scharenberg (Shaw, Llloyd)
MID: Danger, M.Crouch, Martin, Mitchell, Fyfe, Bont, Treloar, Selwood (still need to trade) (Deluca, Cousins, Junker)
R: Grundy, Gawn (Cameron)
FWD: Macrae, Ryder, Heeney, Yeo, Nank, Bolton (to loop) (Dahl, Greenwood)
Any ideas for trades? Obviously I need to offload Selwood to a MID. I have $548,000 to spend unlesss I downgrade a Ryan to loophole and go after a Kelly or Oliver.
I'm thinking of Selwood to a Merrett or Beams, then no idea for my second trade. Options would be to upgrade a Defender but I'm stuck for cash
Patch · 25/08/2017 at 18:27
Cheers Bozza! Would go Selwood to Beams and leave the rest as is – can't think of any other trades worth doing
Tyruddanaut · 25/08/2017 at 19:35
I'd trade out Selwood for a gun like Dusty or Kelly, and then downgrade Shaw/Sharenberg/Lloyd/Ryan to loophole
Frank · 25/08/2017 at 13:36
Gday Folks,
1 Trade remaining and 80k in the bank
Was wondering how I should use the trade this wk, want to use it on my middies.
Mids: Danger, Titchell, Oliver, M Crouch,
M Murphy, L Parker, Wines, Rockliff ( Myers, c brown, j deluca)
Any Thoughts on how I should best use my trade would be greatly appreciated, playing in the GF!
Good luck to everyone this wk.
SC_Kev7 · 25/08/2017 at 17:01
Unless you can get a significant upgrade on Rocky or Wines I'd use the trade as insurance this week in case there's any late outs.
Patch · 25/08/2017 at 18:29
Would go Rockliff to Merrett for mine mate
Northerner · 25/08/2017 at 13:51
Ablett my worst trade. Even worse than getting Cripps the week he got injured and losing bench cover for JPK's late out donut. Held Gary hoping he'd play GF and when Lynch and Selwood went down they were my 2 last trades. I've enjoyed watching your magic every fortnight Gary, but you cost me a definite top 100 placing. Torn. Will need some time to pass before I think fondly of you again.
With Hipwood out increases risk that Rocky will play forward. Not good.
Not feeling confident gong into GF week.
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 09:42
It's been a tough year decisions have snowballed and a lot of luck involved. Small type risks may have to be avoided in the future. Good luck anyway.
Sam · 25/08/2017 at 14:34
Ryder, Wingard or JJK?
Northerner · 25/08/2017 at 14:41
Ryder. He's up against no one at GCS
The Ranger · 25/08/2017 at 14:47
Thanks for the belly laughs Patch, lets do it all again next year.
Patch · 25/08/2017 at 18:29
Cheers Ranger!
The Ranger · 25/08/2017 at 14:48
Sorry for reposting this from the Cheatsheet page but I need some help..
I'm in a GF for a minor premiership and after a pretty rubbish year it'd be nice to walk away with one little win.
And I have the perfect complicated scenario from which to ask the communitys advice.
I have no trades left and Hanners being out means I have to rejig my team a bit…so what to do?
Team is…
Adams, Laird, Simpson, McGovern, Llyod, Newman – Scharenberg, Ryan
Danger, TMitch, Bont, Fyfe, Beams, JPK, Menegola, Hanners – Bolton, Junker, Witherden
Grundy, Gawn – Cameron
Macrae, Yeo, Ryder, Dahlhaus, Greene, NRoo – Greenwood, Pickett
Unfortunately many of the teams that I have players from are playing each other or are playing too close to loop.
What to do in order to maximise points and loophole options?
TheGreatBozza · 25/08/2017 at 18:17
Wih Greenwood out, your best bet is to play Witherden for Hanners.
The Ranger · 25/08/2017 at 19:12
Yeah I thought I had things sorted Bozza but its back to the drawing board now!
At least I now have Bolton and Greenwood to loop so although I can't find a loop in def I can in the mids and fwd lines.
The Ranger · 25/08/2017 at 19:16
And I think I'm gonna play Witherden and Scharenberg over Newman and Ryan in the backline.
Joshua · 25/08/2017 at 16:29
Prestia, Heeney or Gray?
Joshua · 25/08/2017 at 16:31
Or Nathan Jones?
frogger · 26/08/2017 at 02:23
N Jones, Robbie Gray cork from memory, might get a little less TOG. Zerrett worth a look if you don't have him.
Patch · 25/08/2017 at 18:30
I like Prestia, Josh, but Robbie could kick 7 against the Suns so I can't say no to Robbie Gray
fionaamudala · 25/08/2017 at 16:53
Zorko to Mitchell or treloar to Mitchell
Patch · 25/08/2017 at 18:31
Treloar to Titch
TRIGGA_HAPPY · 25/08/2017 at 17:07
The dreaded black square.
"Black that's the worst colour there is – no offence Carl."
Patch · 25/08/2017 at 18:30
"Ehh I get it all the time"
Cheers guys! It's on the list!
Stirlsy · 25/08/2017 at 17:36
Greenwood dropped bit of a surprise
fionaamudala · 25/08/2017 at 18:01
Is that a certainty? With Taylor out I thought he'd be a shoe in…
Hawks · 25/08/2017 at 19:02
Apartently he has a gravely ill family member, and therefore wont be travelling this weekend. He will return for the first final.
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 09:39
Even without any off field dramas I'm not surprised considering such low TOG this season and less impact when traveling. They need him 100% for final.
Forgot about the week off in between….ignore these ramblings lol
BrownlowBoy · 25/08/2017 at 17:48
Heeney or Wingard?
Patch · 25/08/2017 at 18:31
Wingard against the Suns, BB!
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 09:38
Wise advice. +16 point result.
Adsy · 25/08/2017 at 17:52

TheGreatBozza · 25/08/2017 at 17:54
What are people's thoughts on the below?
Option 1
Selwood to Beams
Greenwood to a sub 400k fwd
Option 2
Selwood to Merrett
Greenwood to Buddy
Option 3
Selwood to Gray/JPK
Greenwood to Greene/JJK
Option 4 (if Dahl kills it as a loop)
Selwood to Gray/JPK
Shaw to Houli/Williams
Stirlsy · 25/08/2017 at 17:57
option 2 looks the go, going on who they are playing.
TheGreatBozza · 25/08/2017 at 18:13
Opponent has buddy, so it's a negativing move, but i can see him going off.
Hodge is tempting as if he spuds it I have a combo of Lloyd, Ryan, Shaw or Scharenberg as cover, but my fwd line is thin with Greenwood out. I'm looping Dahl and will probably bring in a Buddy if he goes sub 80 odd
Adsy · 25/08/2017 at 18:00
I like Option 2 if you feel like you have to make up points (who knows what Buddy could do – 40 or 140!) although I also like the look of Option 3 with the two Kennedy's so there's that.
Patch · 25/08/2017 at 18:33
Option 3 with Gray and JJK for mine. JJK has to go big for the Eagles to have a hope, and Gray could kick 7 against the Suns
TheGreatBozza · 25/08/2017 at 18:42
I think a lot will depend on how Dahl goes. If he goes large I'll feel comfortable bringing in a Beams and using my other trade as a loophole potential
The Ranger · 25/08/2017 at 19:23
Good idea to have a loop option in a granny Bozza but I like the Gray/Greene option.
Jamie · 25/08/2017 at 18:14
Greenwood and hanners out. Was going to bring in Charlie dixon, but only have one trade and 519. Who is the best player avaliable??? I have cover everywhere except forwards nank f6 now. I'm contemplating houli with adams moving into the midfield. Who for 519k is giving me the best score???? Helllppp
Patch · 25/08/2017 at 18:38
Long shot, but Dion Prestia has a 3 round average of 117 – he'd probably be my pick of the bunch to bring in.
frogger · 26/08/2017 at 02:21
Def: Howe / Houli
Mid: Zerrett / N Jones (Menegola might rack up the pressure act points)
Fwd: Billings / Dixon (Dixie looks great on paper, but S May could curb influence a bit)
Ruc: Stef Martin
Jamie · 26/08/2017 at 05:01
Cheers guys!
Joshua · 25/08/2017 at 18:15
VERY IMPORTANT, 1 TRADE LEFT
1. Trade Hannebery to Gray and cover Greenwood with Callum Brown
Or
2. Trade Greenwood to Dixon and cover Hannebery with Witherden
Patch · 25/08/2017 at 18:38
Option 2 mate
fionaamudala · 25/08/2017 at 18:23
Any news on the likelihood of Zorko getting a poor core due to hospitalisation?
Cogla13 · 25/08/2017 at 18:51
It was a leg infection, nothing too dramatic. He looked ok in his final test, no limp or anything. Not ideal prep though and may fade late but I still reckon he'll go big.
Freddie · 25/08/2017 at 18:24
With Greenwood out, who do I play. Young, Dogs or Brown, Magpies?
I suppose I could do the emergency loop but I'm not sure about it. Can someone confirm for me please.
Put Bolton, Tigers on the field and pray he doesn't play, make Young the E and if Young does ok, leave it. It he scores terribly, swap Bolton with Brown.
Cogla13 · 25/08/2017 at 18:43
Bolton is not an emergency, he won't play.
Freddie · 25/08/2017 at 18:51
So Cogla, I have it correct?
Cogla13 · 25/08/2017 at 18:54
Yep that sounds correct. Make sure you do the swap early Sat though before the Collingwood game if Young is a fail.
Freddie · 25/08/2017 at 18:58
Thank you. If it works out, I'll have an extra beer for you. Yes, I will be on the ball in the morning.
Still can't work out why Greenwood has been dropped. I rate him obviously more than Pyke but he is only the coach!!!!
Jamie · 25/08/2017 at 18:26
Billings, dixon or Heaney??
kevdup · 25/08/2017 at 18:50
Heeney safest , Dixon potential huge score
frogger · 26/08/2017 at 02:17
Dixon if you need the smaller chance of a monster score (don't forget S. May) as the underdog in your matchup, else Billings.
JAL · 25/08/2017 at 18:54
NEED HELP!!
Ok got the granny this week I have one trade left..
Should I…
Play Witherden as D6 and bench Ryan then do a upgrade to N.Rewoldt
Or..
Play Ryan as my D6 swing Witherden and upgrade to Macrae and then swing Macrae forward??
JohndJames · 25/08/2017 at 20:28
Why would you want Rewoldt ?,go with the second option.
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 20:34
Hi John, might be a bit late now mate haha
JohndJames · 25/08/2017 at 20:41
That's true.
Mars bar · 25/08/2017 at 19:00
The last option best. Too not 100%
Mars bar · 25/08/2017 at 19:01
I meant Roo not 100%
Hazey · 25/08/2017 at 19:11
Does anyone know if O'Brien travelled to Perth with Adelaide? Hearing whispers of Sauce being a late out.
Ahmad rubas · 25/08/2017 at 19:25
Trades I made this week ryan to johaniseien and Lloyd to Sloane now my team looks like this
Doc laird Adams rance witherden schaz emg jj junker
Danger vc Kelly fyfe c Sloane Murphy Treloar jpk Parker emg Bont greenwood Cunningham
Gawn mummy strnadica
Macrae buddy billings Steele Greene nank emg Dahl eddy
Any trades you would reccomend other than the ones I already have done
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 20:27
Go Hawks, Go Freo, Go Adelaide, Go Saints- beat everyone else in the finals and then win the flag!…easy lol
Who's with me?!
JohndJames · 25/08/2017 at 20:48
I like it,so long as the Dees win as well,which I am very nervous about.
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 20:52
Yeah could be a tough game for your lads this week John, pies will be playing for some pride, and Kirby might kick some goals too.
JohndJames · 26/08/2017 at 14:23
At least I'm not nervous any more,doing our best to finish 9th on the ladder,at least my SC team is going better.
Finnius123 · 25/08/2017 at 20:35
When does SC open for 2018?
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 20:38
Hey Finn, I think it's about a month before the first game.
TOPHAWK1 · 25/08/2017 at 20:48
SC season usually opens mid February. You then have 6 to 7 weeks to work on your new side.
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 20:53
That's what I said Hawk…about a month..to 6 to 7 weeks lol
Derek · 26/08/2017 at 00:02
The positions will be interesting. Few blokes hoping for defenders or fwd status
When are they released
frogger · 26/08/2017 at 01:45
Wasn't it around the Australia Day mark?
Will · 26/08/2017 at 09:36
Yeah it was open around Australia Day this year.
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 11:45
I reckon this season proved just how important DPP's really are..they were used alot!
hedski · 26/08/2017 at 11:19
Could be wrong but if you had SC gold last year it opened a bit earlier, maybe around Xmas?
JohndJames · 25/08/2017 at 20:45
Thinking of trading out Hanners due to him being injured,looking at M.Crouch or Merrett. What do you think
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 20:51
Out of those two, Crouch I reckon John…Merrett hasn't been himself lately.
JohndJames · 25/08/2017 at 21:03
The only worry I have with Crouch is if the cats beat GWS,Adelaide won't have a lot to play for and yes Merrett has dropped off the last month or so.
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 21:06
I wouldn't worry about that John, NO team wants to go into the finals coming off a loss. It's all about momentum now.
JohndJames · 25/08/2017 at 21:11
Your probably right there Russty,they wouldn't want two loses in a row,Kelly could be another one,but I have players that I don't really like,so I don't have them in my team and he's one of them.
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 21:14
How about Sloaney mate?…he's flying at the moment. Big risk but big rewards also.
JohndJames · 25/08/2017 at 21:24
He worked out for you last week,that's for sure,but I kind of like the players you can depend on getting 90 to 110+ instead of 140 or 50.
Russty_ · 27/08/2017 at 21:12
Crouch paid off for you John…how many did you win today?
JohndJames · 28/08/2017 at 03:18
He sure did and Sloane went bang for you Russty and I won 4 out of the six.
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 20:48
Come on Mitchell you Carrot Top…this is not the week to have a mediocre game, I have the VC on yer ass, move it redhead matches!
JohndJames · 25/08/2017 at 20:52
Hate to say it but would JOM be impacting Mitch's score.
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 20:56
Yeah think he's definitely stealing points from him John, need a sniper in the grassy knoll lol
Steeeve · 25/08/2017 at 23:56
Something to keep in mind next year. Mitchell's scoring was still good with JOM in the team but not elite. If JOM is good for round 1 next year then T Mitch could leak cash.
TOPHAWK1 · 25/08/2017 at 20:56
Got the VC on him too mate.
Forget the red head matches, time to go hardcore, and stick a firecracker up his carrot.
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 21:00
Hahaha yeah mate, a cracker up his clacker!
TOPHAWK1 · 25/08/2017 at 21:16
44 SC at the half. Time to light the fuse…….
And its about time that Libba junior starts playing footy instead of trying to look like his daddy and play thuggy.
Joshua · 25/08/2017 at 21:02
Anyone gonna consider JOM and/or Morrison if they continue their 1st half efforts?
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 21:08
Nah JOM's a never again for me..dunno about Jim Morrison yet.
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 09:54
JOM is a lock for me. Only mid price failure for me this season.
With rookies possibly following a similar pattern to this year, there are reasons for my faith in him such as doubting there will be the pile of good mid price options again like 2017.
Defying_Madness · 27/08/2017 at 10:39
I have him locked into my team also, I guess I didn't learn my lesson this year or maybe I am just an optimistic Hawks fan.
Stirlsy · 25/08/2017 at 21:06
Looking good up there Defying keep it going man.
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 21:12
Hey guys n gals, unrelated to Supercoach but who wins out of Mayweather and McGregor?
I reckon Mayweather will embarrass McGregor with his superior boxing skills and despatch him quite early…if not by at least round 5.
What's your call?
JohndJames · 25/08/2017 at 21:17
Mayweather should win but I will be barracking for Conor McGregor.
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 21:21
I reckon Connor could get fouled out by trying to choke him out or something lol
TOPHAWK1 · 25/08/2017 at 21:18
Mayweather will eat him for breakfast.
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 21:22
Agree Hawker, I reckon McGregor's only doing it for the paper…he'd know he's going to lose, boxing has a lot more rules than MMA.
Daniel Z · 26/08/2017 at 22:23
I don't think Mayweather has knocked anybody out. He'll win but most likely won't be a knockout.
JohndJames · 25/08/2017 at 21:27
Starting to think that I should have kept Roughy.
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 21:28
Yeah…know how you feel John but you wouldn't be in 6 Grand Finals if you'd kept him earlier cause he was leaking points earlier in the season bigtime.
Derek · 26/08/2017 at 00:00
He had a very good year. Exactly ehat we expected. Started slow, finish strong
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 09:51
The larger blokes seem to take longer to get back their match fitness it seems, Game is so fast now.
Roughy a lock for 2018 Along with Omeara for me.
JohndJames · 25/08/2017 at 21:44
Is Dahihaus injured,only on 39pts,would have had him on the bench if Greenwood hadn't been rested.
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 21:49
Yeah he copped a corky but he's also shit in this latter part of the year.
JohndJames · 25/08/2017 at 21:51
It's right Russty,just saw him kick a goal,so at least he's back on.
Joshua · 25/08/2017 at 22:38
Take Dahlhaus 63 or field Callum Brown?
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 22:50
Probably better off taking FKhaus's score really
Joshua · 25/08/2017 at 22:58
*67
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 22:43
Add to never again list- Dahlhaus aka-shithouse you suck, you weasel.
The Ranger · 25/08/2017 at 22:53
Should have played Pickett instead of Dahlhaus…
wombatsfc · 25/08/2017 at 23:01
Dahlhouse and Bontompelli can get stuffed. Premo firelighters who were initially disguised as SC viable. They're worse than spuds they're turnips and cauliflower with fecal sauce
wombatsfc · 25/08/2017 at 23:08
I wonder if
Russty_ · 25/08/2017 at 23:11
Yep all that matters League-wise is the last game of the year and those two failed to deliver shit…especially Dahlhaus, weasel piece of crap.
gator59 · 25/08/2017 at 23:16
Yep both on the never again list,,, May be just may be Bont will have to pump out at least 5 tons in a row to be ever considered again !!
wombatsfc · 25/08/2017 at 23:14
You're an unwitting genius 'David Jones' you've created an identifer for Supercoach's to vent their frustrations on players here at Jockreynolds. Instead of commenting anonymously just enter the name as wombatsfc and your actual email address so that your legit icon thing shows up. Get creative break free throw a wombat
Muscles · 26/08/2017 at 12:12
Many will get The Bont but not Dahl. Good team man but handballs too much to be SC relevant.
gator59 · 25/08/2017 at 23:11
Hodgey thinking of playing cricket now.. I pity the batsmen that have to face him
Dunno if any one here has seen him play but F#ck he is seriously quick
I have faced him and taught him a thing or two,, Has a run up and action like the great Michael Holding,, very graceful to watch
He used to be in the high 140's may have slowed down a bit but still wouldn't like to be on the receiving end
Derek · 25/08/2017 at 23:58
I hear his brother is very handy cricketer
gator59 · 26/08/2017 at 00:31
Yeah Derek ,, His brother Dylan is very handy but has a lot of back issues
PiesFever · 26/08/2017 at 00:37
Howe, Houli, Touhy or Roberton? Who scores the most?!!
Cheers
George S · 26/08/2017 at 00:53
Hey all, can I please check something about the rules so I can loophole safely this week?…
If I have 2 midfielders marked as midfield emergencies though only one is playing, do I get the playing emergencies (eg Dangerfield) score or the non-playing guy's (Jarman) score (zero) ?
Lazza · 26/08/2017 at 05:07
Danger.. only playing emergency scores count.
George S · 26/08/2017 at 08:29
Brilliant- thanks so much
frogger · 26/08/2017 at 02:36
Sensational work all year, Patch. You are bizarro Heath Shaw 2017, honest as the day is long, dependable and the sober yin to our raging yang.
TheGreatBozza · 26/08/2017 at 09:24
Do I back in Scharenberrg to out score Bont? I put the E on Bont in case he stains his pants. Can swing Adams to mid to cover Bont, and bring Scharenberg off the pine.
Other plans for this week now are either:
1. Selwood to Merrett
Greenwood to Buddy (not pod), Daniher or Dixon
Or
2. Selwood to Gray
Greenwood to Greene
TheGreatBozza · 26/08/2017 at 09:45
Other two options I'm looking at are:
Selwood to JPK
Greenwood to Wingard
Or
Selwood to Zorko
Greenwood to Dixon
Smithy · 26/08/2017 at 09:51
Hi All, which two out of Rockliffe, Lloyd or Witherden on field? Cheers community.
Steeeve · 26/08/2017 at 10:26
It's a GF. Go hard or go home. Hard as a Rock.
2018 · 26/08/2017 at 12:19
Llyod more Mid time No hannas should loophole with withers and Rockliff vs north is bound to go big and zieball is out North = Tanks
Shake n bake · 26/08/2017 at 10:20
Have $417k to spend on a fwd now Greenwood is out. Is Dixon the best option or maybe pederson?
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 17:03
Hope you didn't go Pederson Shake..spudded today.
Shake n bake · 26/08/2017 at 17:45
Nah went Dixon.
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 18:07
Nice one!
Norm · 26/08/2017 at 10:56
Who to field out of Newman, Ryan, Witherden or Scharenberg?
The Ranger · 26/08/2017 at 12:52
Had the same dilemma Norm and I've gone with Scazza and Witherden onfield with the E on Newman.
Fingers are crossed.
Big G · 26/08/2017 at 11:48
Was cursing Roughy all night, then figured out my GF opponent traded him out for Ryder and left Greenwood on the field. SC gods smiling on me.
Mongga · 26/08/2017 at 12:08
Greenwood an emergency. Does anyone know if he flew to WA?
Dan · 26/08/2017 at 13:04
Whats the chances of Sloane going big this week? The bloke im playing in the granny has him so thinking of sideways trading Treloar or Murphy to negate a potential big score from Sloan. Cheers
Tommo09 · 26/08/2017 at 15:44
If Witherden reaches 100 do I bench Gibbs or Kennedy?
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 16:19
Bloody Gawn's been crap ever since I brought him in, wish I hadn't now…wonder what kind of price he might start at next season?
INPieman · 26/08/2017 at 16:26
497k
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 16:30
Cheers Pie..Good win by your guys.
INPieman · 26/08/2017 at 16:46
I was barracking for the Dees. Hate Buckley & want him gone
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 16:52
Understandable mate, I felt the same about Ross Lying before he abandoned the Saints for a sweeter deal and was even happier when he took Dawson with him lol
INPieman · 26/08/2017 at 17:41
Zac must have had a copy of Ross's nudes
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 09:14
Was spewing when I traded Ryder in over Gawn. Turned out to be a great move and potentially multiple GF winning.
Harrow · 26/08/2017 at 16:25
Yes, Gawn is not the player he was. Now Grundy has beaten him. There are at least 4 better rucks around. Glad I have Ryder and Grundy. The Melbourne SC supporters were frothing at the mouth when he resumed but Gawn gone and won't be part of many SC teams next year. The rubber band training trick was a ruse. I have Hibberd who was down today but Oliver was his usual self.
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 17:11
I think he'll still start in a lot of teams next season, he'll be better when he gets back to full fitness, and gets some confidence back, needs to get that mindset back he had last season, "to be the comp's best Ruckman".
Steeeve · 26/08/2017 at 16:25
WHE, Petracca, Roughead. Traded all of em out early. Would have probably won me the grand final I'm now losing. I would have had a shocking rank, but it's not like I was top 100 anyway. What a bloody season.
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 16:51
Thing is though Steve, how many mediocre scores do you put up with from those guys all through the season without losing patience and getting someone in scoring better?
That being said, this year has been a finals series where we've pretty much needed 8 trades going in to finals, hard to do and still field a decent team throughout the regular season for sure.
Daniel · 26/08/2017 at 16:52
If Witherden goes 105+, who should I bench out of Fyfe, Neale or Gray?
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 16:56
Maybe Neale cause he's playing sore and might not make it through the game?…Withers is on 104 now btw…or Gray cause he's a bit up and down scoring.
2018 · 26/08/2017 at 18:08
Withers got 104 so dont bench anyone lol
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 18:15
Yeah but he's talking about taking one of those guys off so he can get Wither's score.
Defying_Madness · 26/08/2017 at 17:06
I thought I was so smart loopholing Scharenberg with Ryan by swapping Lloyd to the mids and Junker to the defence only to realise that Junker played today…
At least I get Witherdens score since Hanners is out. Expect big games from Ryan and Lloyd.
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 17:09
Lloyd has started well for you mate, 30 at quarter time. I thought about loopholing there too but realized games are too close together.
Defying_Madness · 26/08/2017 at 17:43
Sorry I didn't explain myself well, both Ryan and Lloyd are on the bench. Am forced to take Bergs score since I had the emergency on him and Junker on field. Would have just fielded Lloyd over both Scharenberg and Ryan if I realised I couldn't loophole.
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 18:11
Ah ok, yeah I went Berg over Lloyd and he's already passed his bloody score, Lloyd rotting on my bench now. These kind of fkups can cost finals 🙁
JohndJames · 26/08/2017 at 17:13
Ended up bringing in M.Crouch for Hanners even though I have the E on Witherden,at least if there is a late out I still have cover.
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 17:20
Hope that works out for ya John, how are you going in your Finals matchups so far?
JohndJames · 26/08/2017 at 17:28
Winning two,losing two and two in the balance.
JohndJames · 26/08/2017 at 17:15
Greenwood is a definite out right?
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 17:19
He was omitted but is listed as an E John, so I guess there's a chance he could play.
JohndJames · 26/08/2017 at 17:27
Just that I need to work out if I move Nank into his spot,but will have to trade before the Cats v GWS game.I'll trade out Parsons who is on the bench move Nank to the fwd line,bring in Buzza for ruck E.then swap Nank and Greenwood.
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 17:34
Are you starting Nank onfield with no Soldo there?
JohndJames · 26/08/2017 at 17:40
Nank is my Ruck E at the moment……So I just did the trade, Nank is now in my forward line,with Greenwood on the bench and Buzza as my ruck E.Still had 37K left which seems a waste but I couldn't find any other match ups.
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 09:11
Good move.
JohndJames · 27/08/2017 at 12:55
Would have liked to know for sure that Greenwood wouldn't be a late in,but had to make the move.
2018 · 26/08/2017 at 17:59
Round of 67…..Dalh, Gawn, Rocky, Hibberd
Ben · 26/08/2017 at 18:40
And I have all 4…
Northerner · 26/08/2017 at 21:57
You're not Robinson Crusoe
2018 · 26/08/2017 at 18:07
Is McRae a lock for next year in SC. Better then Bont and Dalh due to his consistency and his game is built for supercoach and will be 580k or so and will be in his prime 24yrs
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 18:16
I think so for sure 2018, will be my first picked forward next season…having him from day dot this year has been great, he's been a true set and forget player, one you don't need to worry about.
Northerner · 26/08/2017 at 21:57
Unlikely to be DPP next year I suspect.
Cogla13 · 27/08/2017 at 07:09
Probably just a mid next year.
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 09:10
Bont off my radar at the moment for next year but things do change. Dahlhaus is gone unless a role change and/or major form improvement.
Macrae could be locked in even if midfield only due to unreliable options amongst the ageing greats.
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 19:05
Who put the big C on Buddy this week?…wish I had!, you'd be a guaranteed winner this week if you did 🙂
JohndJames · 26/08/2017 at 19:56
Even the VC.
Joshua · 26/08/2017 at 19:06
Should've stuck with my gut and put the vc on Franklin. Running with Danger into Fyfe instead
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 19:27
What made you not trust your gut feeling?
Joshua · 26/08/2017 at 19:32
Idk I just thought Carlton might hold Franklin well defensively, Not all doom and gloom Danger could pass it tonight, did last time 🙂
musicissport · 26/08/2017 at 19:58
Anyone else got an issue with SC app – for some reason it's reverted back to my R1 team!!
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 19:59
Yeah same here, all I can see is round 1 team…hahah, won't last long I'm sure.
CoachDamo · 26/08/2017 at 20:01
Maybe we all dreamed the last 22 weeks!
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 20:14
More like a nightmare! hahah
TRIGGA_HAPPY · 26/08/2017 at 23:09
Does that mean we get 30 trades again?
OldOcker · 26/08/2017 at 20:02
Website is the same.
JohndJames · 26/08/2017 at 20:05
Yes,you wouldn't want to have to do a trade right now,thank the SC Gods I did that over an hour ago.
Whitey · 26/08/2017 at 20:08
Can I make some changes and start again? Would be awesome!!!
red5 · 26/08/2017 at 20:10
Great timing SC HQ
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 20:13
FKing Clowns huh?…what the Fking FK
INPieman · 26/08/2017 at 20:19
How about put the perfect 9 money to a system that actually works. Absolutely useless!!! It's granny week FFS
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 20:36
How about making it perfect 7 out of 9, so someone could actually win it someday?
OldOcker · 26/08/2017 at 20:23
I don't really believe that the Herald Sun have the cheek to charge anyone for SuperCoach gold. App and website stuffing up when most needed.
Old Ockers Ultimate stats sheet will be available very soon after this round so that the serious SuperCoaches can start studying for next year.
I will make it available to Jock on Tuesday. Jock can publish it when he likes.
Don't Blush Baby · 26/08/2017 at 20:34
Excellent Ocker, much appreciated, your a legend mate
Harrow · 26/08/2017 at 21:24
As I wrote a couple of days ago, SC gold is a ripoff. Use Footywire. It's free.
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 21:28
Yeah understand your point of view Harrow, but some of us are time poor, and SC Gold gives instant feedback as far as who's playing the current week by green dots next to their names, and comparisons/ predictions of scores which comes in handy, without having to constantly cross reference back and forth between different websites, it's a convenience thing. .And let's face it…$20 ain't a lot of money really.
OldOcker · 27/08/2017 at 03:45
To me it is, especially when predictive scoring is so far away from fact..
$20 is a lot of money for some.
Ocker's Stats give you all you need to know that come directly from SC Gold at no charge. AND MORE.
This information is absolutely free to all without paying.
The Ranger · 27/08/2017 at 09:10
Nice one Ocker, how's ya season been mate?
OldOcker · 29/08/2017 at 05:49
Not too bad in the finish mate, I was in 5 finals and won them all. 2 major leagues and 3 minor leagues. Pretty happy about winning the "Big Guns" league.
The Ranger · 29/08/2017 at 07:23
That's a pretty good year Ocker! Had a shocker myself but it's only made me more determined.
See you back here for the preseason .
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 20:31
I've seen a lot of stuff ups from the Herald Sun website over the years when it comes to Supercoach Live HQ etc, but never anything like this….has someone inadvertently wiped out the whole season, reverting it back to round one?…LOL what a bunch of Clowns!
OldOcker · 26/08/2017 at 20:36
They have successfully stuffed trades for anyone like myself who still has them. The season of winning 5 grand finals is gone. Thank you to the HS. Waste of money. Newspapers are dead and SC is self destructing.
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 20:50
Yeah Ocker, Newspapers are kinda like Video Stores and Music Stores these days, made defunct by the digital age, now it's all about digital code and downloading, rather than hard copy anything. The times, they are a changing.
Joshua · 26/08/2017 at 21:25
Lift Shaw you old hobbit
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 21:31
He's a spud mate, should've retired after this season, he's a shadow of his former smartass self. He's only still there for the money.
Harrow · 26/08/2017 at 22:03
Rusty. Get a life. SC has taken over your life. Your comments are all over the place. Obviously you are not in a GF.
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 22:09
Hi Harrow, I'm in 6 out of 10 Grand Finals actually, and I have a rather nice life actually, thanks for your concern though, maybe you should think twice before you decide to judge someone so hastily, and act like a complete ass.
Good luck for your Final…if you're in one.
TOPHAWK1 · 26/08/2017 at 22:05
Traded Heater out 6 weeks ago. Good. Because my ranking would have been so much worse.
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 22:14
Hey Hawker, didn't bring him in this year…and not really regretting it either..how are you faring in your last match up mate?
INPieman · 26/08/2017 at 21:26
Big fix people is delete the app & reinstall it. Then log in & you should be back online via the app. Useless C*nts
OldOcker · 26/08/2017 at 21:40
Website is okay now, Maybe the app is too.
Good luck in the final mate.
I think you just have me, My luck this weekend and Greenwood will get a game which will ensure a victory for you.
I am just happy to make the final in the "Big Guns" league mate.
It has been a tough year.
Stats coming out on Tuesday for Jock, Releasing early for pre season crew and the fact i might not be able to do it next year.
TOPHAWK1 · 26/08/2017 at 22:12
Fark that. If they expect us to do that
Joshua · 26/08/2017 at 22:33
Any chance Greenwood sneaks into the final 22? Would rather not take Dahlhaus' 67
TRIGGA_HAPPY · 26/08/2017 at 23:02
I hope not he is my danger loop.this week
red · 26/08/2017 at 23:03
SEN said he has a sick friend or relative.
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 09:07
He doesn't score well in away games anyway. I'd say by his limited game time this season they would rest him for finals, regardless of any off field issues.
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 10:00
Although I keep forgetting about the stupid bye round lol
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 22:38
Booyaa!…smashed those manufactured pretenders…that's the way!
kane · 26/08/2017 at 22:38
HELP i think i stuffed my loophole.
Was going to loophole bolton (rich) tomorrow for dangerfields score. Bringing Yeo to bench and bolton on field with cap. However, I didnt realise i had young (dogs) already on bench with emergancy too. If i have both Yeo and young on bench with Emergancy, Whos score will i get?
Russty_ · 26/08/2017 at 22:42
Hi Kane…sorry to tell you mate, but you will get Young's score, it's the lesser of the 2 playing Emergency's scores you get if 2 are playing.
You've really gotta be careful loopholing making sure you plan it out in advance…that's why I don't do it much, cause I can't be assed.
Rocksta · 26/08/2017 at 22:42
The lowest of the two
kane · 26/08/2017 at 22:51

Maybe post ur team and the community may be able to help u
Kane · 27/08/2017 at 11:32
Hurley, laird, adams,hibberd (demons), doc, witherden.
Ryan(e) hibberd (nth)
Danger(vc) dusty zerrett treloar rocky fyfe bontempelli jkelly
Myers lloyd (gws) mountford
Martin gawn – strndic
Yeo buddy heeney ryder mcrae dalhouse
Young(e) bolton
Not sure if this makes sense. Please let me know
Need to somehow ger dangers score. But already have young as emergency so i cant loophole yeos with bolton properly. Do i maybe just keep the vc on danger and risk someone like dusty merret or fyfe. Or do i just bench yeo and get youngs score instead of yeos.
Keep in mind, my opponent has danger as captain and yeo on field.
Cant believe i stuffed this. The site went down and couldnt check it yesterday.
Wedge · 27/08/2017 at 13:09
Hurley isn't playing. Put the C on him
red · 26/08/2017 at 23:01
I've got Witherden as MID emergency
Do I leave him on the bench or use his score and put Sloane or Fyfe on the bench?
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 09:04
Massive call here but I would consider benching Sloane. Has gone big recently but only at Adelaide oval. Go with your gut though good luck.
JohndJames · 27/08/2017 at 15:16
Keep on the bench,both players should be able to score more,plus you still have him in case of a late out.
JohndJames · 26/08/2017 at 23:12
Not if the Tigers win
Cogla13 · 27/08/2017 at 07:07
Geelong V Tiges at the MCG the most likely.
Northerner · 27/08/2017 at 07:57
Either you had Buddy or you didn't and that will determine whether you win or lose. Won one (likely), lost 2. End of a good SC season. Didn't quite do enough to make top 100.
Now for my 14s to win their second semi today and advance to the GF followed by the Eagles winning by 5 goals to claim eighth, with Kennedy kicking 5 to share the Coleman with Buddy.
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 09:01
Possibly but not true in my case as I don't have Buddy but am set to win one of my GF's against a team with Franklin thanks to players stepping up at the crucial moment ie Simpson, Ryder, Kennedy, Oliver to name a few. Greenwood out and poor scores from the likes of Parsons has also helped teams with extra depth. Good luck everybody!
Smote · 27/08/2017 at 14:36
Why do you want a tie for the Coleman ?
A bet involving a tie?
CapTkAos · 27/08/2017 at 07:59
One mistake I haven't made this year is stuff up the captaincy loophole……until THIS ****ing week………..
Danger, I would have loved your VC score, but now I'm gunna have to rely on Dusty.
Iamme · 27/08/2017 at 09:07
A lot of crappy scores in my team this week, 8 players scored under 80 so far, including Dahl and the Berg who are on the pine. …..Thankfully I have Buddy, so still I hope to score 2300 plus, which will hopefully be enough to to win at least one GF.
The Ranger · 27/08/2017 at 09:07
Very impressive that Hedski, everyone's been talking about GWS and Adelaide but the Cats are sitting pretty now.
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 09:35
I've had a feeling about a Geelong vs Adelaide GF for a while now. But maybe that is due to my bias as a crows supporter…..
It's an exciting yet worrying prospect as the Cat is a massive problem for the Crow in not only the animal kingdom.
hedski · 27/08/2017 at 11:41
Looking good Ranger, hopefully get Jelwood back.
Scored a 6 pack of the Very Best from a bloke at work for the win last night too.
Happy days.
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 09:30
Big thank you to Jock, Higgo, Crouching, Baron, Lekdog, Patch, Carlos and the community in general!
Awesome work, great insights and analysis once again.
Good luck everyone, I'm competing in 5 out of 10 league GF's. Big day obviously.
Apart from supercoach gonna be a cracker of a finals series I reckon. Go crows………
Richmond have proved me wrong this year my hat goes off to the club for getting out of that fringe position they seemed stuck in.
Geelong and Sydney knocking on the GF door too obviously and realistically anything can happen this year with pretty much any of the top 8.
Wonder if my preseason bet on Sydney for the flag comes through…..what a joke that bet looked like after round 6 eh.
JohndJames · 27/08/2017 at 12:49
Sydney are the form team of the comp,pity they missed the double chance,but they might not need it.It's out of the top six this year,don't think Essendon or West Coast will do much.
Smote · 27/08/2017 at 14:42
Wayne Carey was on tv after Swans were 1 – 6 saying he believed they could still make the finals.
I thought whats that dude been smoking?
I tip my hat to you Mr. Carey, well played sir.
Would have been juicy odds back then.
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 09:47
Looking through this last panic room for the season Patch's advice is on point 100%. Strong finish!
CheekyNandos · 27/08/2017 at 09:58
Who will win, I've got Rance, MCrouch and JJk + 249 points VS Zerret, Stewart (ESS), Nank and Savage.
Cheers for your opinions, I'm a tad worried 😛
Good luck everyone in your finals 🙂
Whatyasmokin · 27/08/2017 at 10:04
I'd be pretty confident with your position mate.
TRIGGA_HAPPY · 27/08/2017 at 10:43

Drawn GF Neale vs Sloane, not liking my chances. Lachie plz
JohndJames · 27/08/2017 at 13:46
Witherden should be a good pick next year if he keeps his def/mid.
Joshua · 27/08/2017 at 13:50
Agreed, Greenwood also if he gets that TOG up
Laurie · 27/08/2017 at 15:08
Hi urgent advice please as I stuffed up my loophole and can't take Dangerfield as Captain…Crouch or Martin as Captain thoughts please….
ThatsGoldJerry · 27/08/2017 at 15:19
Crouch
Joshua · 27/08/2017 at 15:40
TFW you trade in Dixon over super pod big boy Bellchambers :/
Dan · 27/08/2017 at 17:37
Well, Roberton is onto my 'never again' list. He's single handily losing me my GF at the moment!
Goanna · 27/08/2017 at 18:50
That Dud cost me three GF's. Spewing because I could have selected many others 5 weeks ago.
Dan · 27/08/2017 at 19:53
Yep, that hurts. Sorry to hear he cost you 3 GF's!
Jamie · 27/08/2017 at 20:00
Somehow he didn't cost me. Had Ryan on my bench with a ton!
Rocksta · 27/08/2017 at 20:46
He lost me mine!
So much for full premium………had I kept Ryan , I would have won the GF!

Thanks all, especially Jock and crew.
Won all 6 grand finals I made it to with 2432, so happy with that.
Has been a really diverse year and always much easier to navigate with everyone's input on this site. Is the premier forum for SuperCoach and also the most fun. Have a great off season and see you all next year.

Great work getting 6 for 6 Robdogs, and well done with your high up rank too, see you next time around.

Lost my GF by 30 points. So called Premium Roberton scored 31 instead of 93. The ball spent a shit load of time in the Sainters backline……………….WTF?
No more Sainters in my SC team ever again……………losing culture!
RobDogs · 27/08/2017 at 20:55
Finished with a 177 Rank, 5th in Jocks 'JR Community' group, so a good year overall. Snuck past you Crackers, game on next year.

James T · 27/08/2017 at 21:44
Thanks for all the insight and for an amazing year jock and crew and all the regular participants on this website. Made it to one of my two leagues grand finals and drew with my opponent. Which I believe means I lost being the lower seed… also my dees dropped out of the 8 today via west coast. Hope your days have all been a little better than mine. Hope everyone facing off in their grand finals did well and hope to see you all next season 🙂 cheers!
Russty_ · 28/08/2017 at 01:29
That's bloody rough James, first with your Dees and then drawing a GF (what are the odds?)and losing on position, that's gotta suck.
See you next time around 🙂
Will · 27/08/2017 at 22:15
Cheers for the season everyone!
JohndJames · 28/08/2017 at 00:33
Hey Russty how did you go today,I ended up with 4 wins and two loses,so winning 50% of my 8 Leagues grand finals, I'll take that,moved on up another 404 places to 1501 ranking,and scored 2406,so my last two months as far as scoring goes has been great,not going under 2370,it helped that I hardly had to change the team in that time,so it's all over for another year.I might have to think hard about if I go around again after such a good year,can't see myself topping that,but it's a bit like a drug,once your on it your hooked.
Russty_ · 28/08/2017 at 01:26
Hiya John, played golf this arvo so came home to see I had also got over the line and won 4 out of 6 mate, lost one by heaps and another one by 16 to Jock..so, pretty happy with that result 🙂
Great job winning 4 out of 6 John, and also with your rank, so you're a top 1 % guy, excellent work.
Bummer about your Demons just getting pipped at the post by those bloody Eagles, that's gotta hurt..but they'll be back and better next season.
Make sure you come back next season..pretty hard not to when you've got the bug haha
Well done again mate, and catch ya next time around.
P.S Good call bringing Crouch in!
JohndJames · 28/08/2017 at 02:50
Well done Russty,so we both won 4 grand finals,I think at the start of the finals we would have taken that no worries.One of the league finals that I did lose though was my favorite 'Jolly Roger',goes with my team 'Black Flag'but I guess you can't have everything,like Melbourne making the finals,we did it to ourselves though not turning up to play in the first quarter,so disappointing.I think it was better when we were coming 11th – 13th,less stressful.Yes Crouch brought it home for me,I mainly picked him because I had him at the start,then traded him out for Bont,so I wanted him back at the end.I'll be back next year,it would drive me mad seeing people talking about SC on twitter and not being a part of it.Till next time Russty and enjoy your golf.
neil demons delight · 28/08/2017 at 11:42
yeah Russtys right j j come back bigger and better like our teams sainters and dees . Gary L yon got it right with the dees when we play crap teams nth woods lions etc. we come to their crappiness but crows over there no problems a MENTAL PROBLEM with them they need Rudi Webster back there if you older guys remember him a brilliant sycho The list like the Saints is good what both need is a big forward from a winning club and better culture like a hawkings from geelong or JPK NOT MUCH MORE CHEERS GUYS great you beat him russ
Dean Billman · 28/08/2017 at 01:47
Tough year, not enough rookies and cash generation, forward line looked like the back line from a few years ago, we had nothing.
But I won my cash league, and can't wait for 2018 to come around.
Thanks to Jock and the boys for guiding us through it. Come back to us Wayno!
See you all in the pre season. xx
Supercoach feedback · 28/08/2017 at 08:37
Guys, lets give supercoach some feedback in the section that says ''FEEDBACK: We would love to hear feedback on your SuperCoach experience this season.'' I wrote that i hope they give everyone the features that for supercoach gold have for FREE if they dont want numbers to decline again!
TRIGGA_HAPPY · 28/08/2017 at 09:34
Big one for me is if a rookie plays less than 3 games for the year their price doesnt change next year.
Ie daicos and graham should be $120k next year not $280k as gave the kids a couple of late games just to give them a taste of AFL.
Everyone should give them this feedback if they get enough might change thinking?
Go for it lads.
The Ranger · 28/08/2017 at 10:45
I wrote that you should get two LTI trades per year that can only be used when a player is out for a minimum of four weeks and that you should be able to use that trade in addition to the normal two per round.
Pitch 72 · 28/08/2017 at 11:23
Bring back the way the live scores through h/sun website used to be displayed, this year was crap. used fan footy all the time which isn't a good endorsement for supercoach & h/sun.
Loop · 28/08/2017 at 11:27
Thats exactly what I told them.
neil demons delight · 28/08/2017 at 11:31
extra ruck and emergency for game ending short time injury Lloyd jellwood for me 30 trades ok like triggas rookie idea might have another go neil
Goanna · 28/08/2017 at 11:45
Supercoach gold is a rip off
Pitch 72 · 28/08/2017 at 16:03
30 bucks a year is hardly a rip off mate, you pay that much for 1 beer and some crap chips at the footy, that's a rip off.
The Ranger · 28/08/2017 at 10:27
Buckley gets two more years.
Pieman is not gonna be happy.
INPieman · 28/08/2017 at 10:40
Absolutely Fn Furious!!!! He's a hack
neil demons delight · 28/08/2017 at 11:27
I,m happy gives me more time to bag him and his ideas not a great coach
Goanna · 28/08/2017 at 11:44
Because he is not an innovative coach, he simply needs a sharp brain to help him and with the sacking of at least two assistant coaches, that is what Pies will look for. Who? I don't know.
neil demons delight · 28/08/2017 at 12:39
Mo Larry or Curly would be good and at home
Don't Blush Baby · 28/08/2017 at 12:37
Who do you think should have replaced him ?
neil demons delight · 28/08/2017 at 12:42
without a shadow of doubt ROOS he would make that team great which the league needs it will continue to go backwards with Bucks
Whatyasmokin · 28/08/2017 at 22:03
What about sacking Goodwin though? Bucks and his pies did beat you guys on the weekend and crush any finals hopes……….
Joking about sacking Goodwin btw 🙂
In reality I dont really think much of Bucks but then again its very hard to know what goes on behind the scenes in a club.
Richard · 28/08/2017 at 12:58
Commiserations Pieman & other CFC supporters.Another summer of uncertainty looking towards next season.The 2 year deal will mean Jack Sh.. if the pies can't get their act together early season.The speculation will continue if they start bad and he will once again be on the chopping block week in week out.I reckon Buckley is more shocked than anyone that he retained his job.Can he do a Dimma
from Richmond or is it just fools gold.Personally i had written him off early 2017 and can't believe he's back for another 2.The difference
with him and Dimma is at least Dimma has tasted finals with tigers and has played in premiership sides.In the end though Buckley has nothing to lose here if he fails as most of us think he's a rubbish coach.The Collingwood board has the most to lose here and their die hard supporters will make sure of that.
INPieman · 28/08/2017 at 14:30
True Richard. Eddie's ego is at play & will never admit he's wrong. A few junk time meaningless wins at the end of the season gave him a reason to reappoint him. I'm not sure which contract is worse Buckley or Chris Mayne
Cogla13 · 29/08/2017 at 07:47
What happens if Collingwood miss the 8 again next year?
Soothsayer · 28/08/2017 at 15:21
Also, Dimma has a long winning culture that includes assistant at the Mighty hawks where Buckley may not even be eligible for a visitor's pass. Also learned under Dennis Pagan in the powerhouse North Melbourne under 19s and the Mighty Upwey/Tecoma Tigers under his fathers developmental eye.
Big G · 28/08/2017 at 12:14
Won my GF and with a late surge made into the top 3000. Thankyou Jocky and the crew for the service you provide!
TRIGGA_HAPPY · 28/08/2017 at 13:32
One of the things that really irks me is the AA team and how for some reason it is formed out the top 8 finalist despite there being better players sitting in the bottom half of the ladder.
Think Neale and Cripps in 2015.
So I have had a crack and picked the best AA side for 2017 (no consideration of past performance or number of nominations based purely on who I think had the best year)
Back: Laird, Hurley, Yeo
HB: Docherty, Rance, Hibberd
Centre: Kelly, Mitchell, JPK (C)
HF: McCrae, Franklin, Zorko
F: Gray, Brown, Betts
Rucks: Kreuzer, Dangerfield, Martin
Int: Ryder, Crouch, Oliver, Merrett.
Apologies to Bont/Sloane/neale I had you in JPK spot but realised I didn't have a captain in the players I had selected so had to bump you for JPK.
you could also flick in McGovern for rance – if that floats your boat.
Green, selwood, and JJK miss out as they missed too many games during the year.
Cant fit em all but I believe this is the best representation of the year that was.
neil demons delight · 28/08/2017 at 13:52
almost 100% TRIGG J J K for BROWN but tight
TRIGGA_HAPPY · 28/08/2017 at 14:10
For mine JJK missed too many games and bit of a flat track bully kicking bags at home against freo, blues, pies.
Only kicked one on good opp last week.
Brown kicks his 2-3 per week so more consistent for mine in a struggling team.
neil demons delight · 28/08/2017 at 14:33
Is he a pure forward or part time especially without Pruess and majak JJK DEF a forward
neil demons delight · 28/08/2017 at 14:35
wish my last team looked like that wow trig
Loop · 29/08/2017 at 05:58
Last week doesnt count, WCE are looking for more avenues to goal. Its an insult to call him a flat track bully, it takes multiple defenders to stop him and WCE have struggled with supply to the forwards this year. I'm sure most teams would be happy to have him.
And yes, I am an Eagles supporter.
INPieman · 28/08/2017 at 14:38
What about Treloar trig. You need a good kick in the team
Steeeve · 28/08/2017 at 15:55
Couldn't believe he got a nod over Oliver. Just wow.
neil demons delight · 28/08/2017 at 15:13
surely Oliver gets into the last 40 but no and Rance has been up and down more up though
Soothsayer · 28/08/2017 at 15:27
Thank you community for an excellent year. I won my big prize grand final this week without Dangerfield, I move I would never have considered if not for the mighty Jock Reynolds community cortex. It was a long season, seems like years ago I was looking at Sandilands and deciding not to cover him with Ryder. Thanks especially to Pieman, Baron and others who took the time to answer hard questions and help with tough decisions. I'll see you all at preseason with my joggers and towel packed.

What do we do now!!!
SC season is over and I'm not sure what to do for the first 10 minutes at work.

Could take up a fair amount of your office wallspace though!

I like smote's suggestion, Supercoach should have a whole new thing just for the finals, why doesn't it?…let us pick a whole new finals team and put some money on the line, it'd keep us from the withdrawl symptoms for at least another month!
Supercoach Finals series!….why not?

Thank you Jock, Higgo and Crouching One for another great year of laughs and wisdom. also thank you community for all your input support and advice. although I dropped 195 spots last round, I still finished 841st…..So got to be happy with that.
2018 cant come around quick enough, so we can all do this crazy thing we call supercoach again.

GREAT YEAR lamme me too cant wait to 2018 already working on it tragic isn't it .

Mate u would be filthy.
Hope u had a big mad monday yesterday.
Equation: demons win make finals for first time in 10 years.
Simple right?
Wrong.
Was listening to talking shite last night and they made a very valid point.
If the games were reversed and eagles played sat night would Melb have come out any harder on Sunday in the first qtr knowing didn't have a safety net?
Had to win
One to ponder and id hope not but probably yes.
neil demons delight · 29/08/2017 at 12:00
never thought of that trigg yeah getting over it will take a while cant even watch it never mind .Whats more important barracking for YEO and JJK or the opposition to contain them and dees win .Supercoach has always dragged me away from supporting the dees none more the Sundays Win a supercoach grandfinal in one of the best leagues with the best coaches or lose and the dees get in A winner and a loser at the same time cant have both .Really would like to see a 3 tier system of leagues, relegation included to maintain interest, with the forums best Derek muted something last year caught my eye till next year except the mighty EELS
JohndJames · 29/08/2017 at 13:55
It certainly gave the Eagles an advantage knowing exactly what they had to do to get there. I'm not sure how they could do it but maybe every game of the last round could be played at 2pm on the Saturday,like the old days and would be just as exciting.
gator59 · 29/08/2017 at 11:38
I also was in a couple of those leagues too Neil and we all gave it our all and congrats to you on your year
Pity you couldn't get Sugar Ray
I hope i'm invited back into the top notch leagues as well Neil and congrats to all again ,,, Bring on 2018
Shame about your Dees to mate .. Hope you are still recovering from mad monday..
neil demons delight · 29/08/2017 at 12:16
Thanks gator yeah even though the league had passengers it was enjoyable and I did better than thought too good really Dees need more players from better clubs to get them there the likes of Lewis and Hibberd know the caper and control close games thinking ABOUT my thoughts on a super league wonder if it could happen with 3 of the above as well as there own grand finals for instance AGRADERS UP THER CAZALY and legends getting together all good leagues the end result would be in a few years a great competitive league with a chance to progress from a lower comp. imagine your top two out of Cazaly playing for a graders IT would take a bit but shake might be in it only a silly idea cheers gator 59 great to have you there IF ANY LEAGUES INTERESTED PLEASE COMMENT
gator59 · 29/08/2017 at 13:49
Like the idea Neil it would be interesting to see that.. Hope someone could get this up and running
Shake n bake · 29/08/2017 at 16:03
My league Up there cazaly was pretty competitive. Neil you just scraped into the top 8 with a win in your last game! Congratulations Rob Dogs for winning! Would av ranked a little higher if l didn't have Derek! Haha only joking Cant wait for Derek and the gang to be back next year. Tough group considering Hedski finished last but love coming up against you Hedski!
neil demons delight · 29/08/2017 at 17:57
Yeah Derek just had one of those years started bad and couldn't catch up It must be remembered that he finished 76th in nsw and Hedski is a ripper that's what makes sc great.. Derek floated this idea 2 years back and came up with the Community group which was pleasant as a guide but a league with promotions and relegations keeps all interested can you imagine the enjoyment Hedski and DEREK WOULD GET playing each other with relegation the loser,s prize TWO Or THREE leagues need to get together maybe div 1 and 2 or seniors and reserves Tony ROBDOGS IS ALL quality and a league already strong could only be more enjoyable with tony and the next best in it each league could still maintain their identity early days but worth a thought cheers
