The Standing Room – Round Two Chat
Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in.
A half-dead, screaming and bleeding attempt at a game that has flashes of blue, white red and black. The North vs Saints game was supposed to be the highlight of a thoroughly uninspiring day – devoid of having anything open, not being allowed to eat meat… Good Friday had one thing going for it in a game of footy and it was pretty much ruined.
It was just the sort of thing a cat would drag in.
We had a few hiccups today with Matt Kreuzer and Toby Greene both late outs – how did you fare dodging those donuts?
(Shoutout to Lek for calling me while I was halfway up the Hume to get me to pull over and trade The Kreuz out – not all heroes wear capes.)
How are you tracking this round, community? Did you get the Dusty VC? What do you reckon Danger will score? Roll up, roll up, come one, come all and have a good old chinwag in The Standing Room.
Special shoutout to Broomhead and Scully as well – poor buggers have broken various bits of their legs and that's never something you like seeing.
Hey Patch, yeah tragedy for those two poor buggers, can be a hell of a cruel game, good to have friends like that who give you the heads up!.
I'm travelling ok so far, no donuts, hopefully get over the line somewhere around last week's…2300 ish, but that could all go horribly wrong, have Danger as C
That is why you trade only if you have too. It will be a long season with only 30 trades. Maybe one or two corrective trades this week. Be careful or else you will be out of trades by round 18.
I love Clarry
I love him too BB 🙂
Went fisher as a POD and is paying of great so far!!
Nice work Bob!
Imagine being the bloke who traded out Nat Fyfe and Zach Merrett this week…
You’d be an idiot if you did.
Would you though Northernsoul, or would you just be a novice..with not much supercoach smarts? It's easy to attack people without a thought from their perspective.
It depends. Last year in my ‘rookie year’ (technically) I traded out Hanners and it payed off big time. Only difference is that I did it in round 2
Hanners came good though.
he averaged 115 for the 9 rounds after you traded him, but was the right move long term.
That's a bit cruel Finn, many would have because they're novices, and might've rage traded. I Don't think you're that kind of guy..that would rub it in.
You're only a youngun but you have a lot of smarts, don't get jaded too early my young friend, there's plenty of time for life to do that to you yet lol.
wait what ahahahah
Merrett did stuff all in the end. Can't handle a tag. He might become Danger this week.
What do people think of Hibberd…two mid-70 scores, would you consider trading him out?
Only if he has an LTI
If you have the luxury of a brilliant performing team other than him, then maybe. Otherwise hold, only round 2.
Haven't been able to watch either of Melbourne's games but unless he's changed role drastically I'd hold. Will turn it around. Lek and I will discuss him in the pod no doubt.
What if you can get Dusty for him though
I still think it’s a waste of a trade. He was picked as a premium.
Last year he was very inconsistent but averaged just under 100. I haven’t watched either of Melbourne games, but looking at last years numbers he’s due a big one.
If he pops out a few more 70’s then he’ll be one of the first players I bring in.
Hope he can pop a few more duds out and really drop in price. Last years numbers say he will be close to a must.
Rayner getting the arse next week!!!
Yeah he has to go, number one draft dud!
Haven’t seen him in too many team
Had him in mine early on, but I learned my lesson, still have too many expensive rookies.
Dud lmao, give him time he ain't supercoach relevant atm don't rule him out
It’s like playing Rookie Roulette this year.
Pot luck, but they are making or breaking people’s scores.
I'd hate to be an epileptic at Perth stadium after a game. That lighting is gonna cause mass fits.
Bit over the top that lighting array I reckon lol
hahahah had a laugh at this. Survived a real circus last night on a date with the GF…. then got home cracked a beer to see the last quarter of another circus.
Give them a break Rabs, they live in a very isolated city and march to their own beat a little. It looked like they were over excited having just cracked the technology of having electric lighting.
The gf didn't come in for a drink mate….. plenty of fish in the sea…
I've almost scored as much this week as I did last week, and I've still got 5 to play… Oh what a rollercoaster ride Supercoach is
Alrighty then Post…!, bloody happy days mate.
McCartin, Ryder, Merrett, Beams and all the wrong rookies on field for me last week. I always have a shocker in either round one or two.
Yeah but you only got 1800 last week so you're still crap
naaasty
should i take fyfe's 120 as vc or go with danger as captain?
roll the dice
Oliver as capt Ryan played well. Greene out late hurt.
Yeah I could have had a really good score if Green had put up a 100-120 for me.
Oliver will average 120 this year – I can't believe he only has 6% onwership! So glad I picked him.
why are you in such a d1ck mood mate
Yellow card, Russty.
I picked Danger, Titch, Dusty, Kelly, Fyfe and Parker.
Which one of those don’t you have?
Simple. You can’t fit them all in.
Thought we were going to see a different Gawn this year and with another year in the system for me Oliver was always going to be in my side. Greene l thought with a pretty soft draw early days might put up some big scores. Just needs to play!
Nice one Shake, I said Oliver will have leather poisoning early in the week swallowing the pill from Martin and Gawn tap down. Kelly almost pulled it off 14 tackles but possies were low, would've gone big.
I’m thinking going these trades next week….Hibberd & Crouch out & bring in Simpson & Oliver?
Hold Hibberd unless he is injured. Crouch to Oliver makes sense.
Hold Hibberd. You don’t lose money on him until you trade him out
You don't lose money if you trade him before R3.
Touché
I like it
After opening up with a great 2439, the shyt started to hit the fan, as I traded Billings in and the Sainter's forgot to play footy the hard way and played a soft brand including Billings 79 but I knew he would be a rollercoaster ride.
Then today Greene's a late out covered by ZGL who put up a nice 65 but that hand scare before he had scored had some of that brown stainey stuff running down my leg, I could smell a bad round coming.
But then the SuperCoach GODS started to smile at my team once more with Cripps Finlayson,OLIVER,Fyfe,and Smith all toning up to join Laird and The Bird so far passing that mark.
14 Played 1326 pts 8 to play Danger with the C,,, Kelly,Titch, JOM, Sicily, Nic Nat, Heeney, and Bonner…. Projected 2295
lets hope danger is ready to play. i got him in this week for Adam Saad caase via finlayson swing…. so i presume im winning
Thoights on trading in English for L.Ryan this week to play as f5-6 onfield alongside fritsch, or wait and see how he goes this week?
Maybe wait a week. He's certainly on the radar but like all rookies best to have a second look.
Great question. Considering the same to cover the loss of Greene, will probably hit trade this morning
I’d hold if you don’t have a donut. I brought in English this week as a cover for Krooz, so I’m hoping he goes well
It's a risk to bring English in, The Dogs have talls in the wings and the coach isn't a ruck friendly type, he will play anyone there, When Roughhead returns English will be the tall going out IMO…..
Hope you didn't
Haha I almost did this. Thankfully I didn’t trust English
Put the C on Oliver was 135 at games end ,then rounded up to 146 ,saved me after not putting the VC on Dusty, big sigh of relief
Mitchell, Parker or Franklin as C?? Thoughts guys
I'm in the same boat except I don't have Franklin. ATM I'm going titch but I'm a bit shaky.
Line ball between Titch and Buddy. I’d lean to Buddy as a Hail Mary, hope for 160+
Out of that lot it's Titch the safe bet, either of the other 2 could go off and go big ….its a risk reward with them or play safe on Titch.
Good call very tempting to take the Budwar the top end could be anything
Go Buddy. It’s not head to head this week. If he knocks out a 200 you can brag, if he spuds it, who cares.
reckon mitchell safer bet. buddy do 2 in a row massive i dunno?! Please dont take my advice but id feel more comfortable with mitchell for sure
Is Cognilio a must have? Not sure, has only played one full season for 100+ avg. I would need to make a few sacrifices to get him into my team (Thouy -> Bonner today then get him in next week). I suppose you can't get em all!
He looks good. I was at Pies vs GWS yesterday and he’s so classy around the ground. I think he’s their 2nd best mid behind Kelly and could easily go 110+
Always had a big opinion of Cogs but his not in my team and I don't see him as a must have, was perfectly priced but if you didn't start with him I wouldn't go chasing him now.
def get him in. make you money as well as pump out 100s.
Luke Ryan and Nank looking good this year. Wish I stuck to my gut instead of trading them out pre lockout.
Anyway I’m pretty happy with this round. Sitting on 1700 with English, McLean, Kelly, Sicily, Mitchell plus 160 from a Dusty loophole. Hopefully Krooz is back next week too
Agreed, had luke ryan but swapped him to hurley. Still if he is a top 6 by mid year we just have to pay more.
Was having a shocker with Garlett, crouch and and billing, Hibberd scores.
Somehow turned it around with great scores from Fyfe, Walters and Devon Smith.
Sitting on 1513 with Johannisen, Nic Nat, Parker, Heeney, Dangerfield (C) and Tim Kelly.
Looking okay at the moment. How is the rest of the community doing?
1308 with 8 to play. Ablett captain.
1614 with 8 to play. Had dusty as VC. Still have danger, titch, Sicily, Lloyd, Heeney, bonner, Kelley and English to play
1722 with: Mills, Parker, TMitch, TKelly, Heeney and (gulp) Lycett to play
I can put Mills on bench and take Murphy’s 80.
I’ll be really happy with 2250
1898/18 with Titch (c), Heeney, Sicily and Tim Kelly to play. Have the VC on Fyfe, I am tempted to take the 120 and be safe. Although Mitchell did go full beast mode last week. Can he back it up?
Going ok so far this year.
Only small problem i see is F6.
Rookies scoing about 60 (which is all i expect from a rook each week)
But could ramp that up as have the cash to go brayshaw up to tarranto or a rookie up to fisher.
Then plan is in about 6 weeks turn them into crouch in the mids once he drops down in price.
1600 so far with 6 to come capt still to play.
Once again loving the purple pods.
Please tell me, I made the right move. (Pls SCgods don't punish me)
Went early on bringing Danger in for Rocky, which i went against my plan. Just not confident on Rocky still being named at HF and that knee of his. Danger could go big, even if he doesn't he'll easily get a 100 minimum.
With Danger, Titch, Heeney, McLean, Kelly and English to play and score is sitting at 1727 hoping to get around the same score as last week 2200-2300
Good move
Who is the priority to get in before price increases……
Cogs, McLean or Smith??
All good picks for mine, i started with Smith and McLean, Cogs seems to be the better one out of the 3 so far. If my mid wasn't so pack with premos, would pick him up.
McLean not due for an increase Jughead unless he goes big this afternoon. The other two both playing pretty good footy.
I have none of them but im backing my preseason selections to all score better then these 3 by seasons end. Id only bring these in if you feel they are keepers and you have serious doubts on some of your current selections.
One of the 2 FWDS ….. Smith would be my pick.
Scully out long term impact on Coniglio ??
Smith
1654 . With .Titch,Buddy,Heeny,J Mcgovern,T Kelly And either Waterman or L.Ryan from Westcoast still to go . Hopfuly get to 2200 . Then downgrade hibberd to bonner get the cash and get smith into my foward line which will give me 5 keepers in the fowards . That will leave me wth 28 trades . Ps smith could be sicily depending on monday
Hi community!
Touch wood, it has been a steady round so far without getting stung by Kruezer and Greene late outs. That said, Michael Hibberd is starting to become a headache down back. With guys like Shaw and Simpson tonning up consistently, I am bleeding a few points there, but thanks to Bonner, I can live with it. Lift HIBBO, I am not planning to trade you out, (For now) BUT LIFT!!
On the flipside, Zerret is coming good after that head knock disaster last week, and Allen Christensen is starting to get back to playing footy we know he is capable of. (101 SC) Finlayson and Doedee= GUNS. If you have neither, use your two trades this week to get them in. No ifs, no buts.
Sitting on 1534 (proj 2378) with Dangerfield (C), Mitchell, Parker, T Kelly, (on field) Bonner, and Heeney to play.
I am just going to grit my teeth and run with Dangerfield as captain. There is a risk he could play a lot up forward, he might be cautious and not going in too hard because that hammy is in the back of his head, or he could even be subbed out mid match if he feels any tightness in his hamstring. BUT this is Paddy Dangermouse we are talking about here. You deserve to be captain because you are top dog in the AFL. Do me proud son…..but I am a little nervous…..
Good luck for the rest of the round all.
Don’t worry, Dangerfield has already shown he can kick 5 goals with a broken leg (and 6 behinds but that doesn’t matter)
Hehehehe. That's right, just a repeat of that effort last year is good enough for me!
Yes the C is the big Key TopHawk, to a good score in the same boat with Danger lets hope its a great ship by the end of Mondays game.
Got stung by Kreuzer and Tobias outs but I have cover, Matty Crouch going down hurts tho.
Running with the captain on Danger too, should be a cracking game Monday Toppa, go cats.
1652 from 15 players (C on Dusty) and only have one rookie left, he score 120 odd last week so Tim Kelly, provide again and I will be loving it.
Latest news amazing!! Bucks has just announced will be stepping down from senior coach position effective immediately!!!!!
Will this be the same news tomorrow?
Blah blah bla . Wish i was 16 again post up shit
Are you ok ?
Too good Trig although wouldn't be a real shock if he left the job.
Might not be a joke in a months time.
They look terrible, they have injury issues, and he just ain't a great coach. No shame there plenty of star players fail as coaches.
I reckon Eddie is already working out how he moves on and everyone saves face.
Mick already rehearsing the ' I told ya so routine' with feigned humility
If they get rolled by Carlton next week the drums will be very noisy
Give them some credit – they put up a really good fight yesterday. All his players need to improve their skills slightly and I see his game plan working – turnovers was what killed them yesterday.
That's the problem. A feeble acceptance of an honourable loss. No doubt his players like him, respect him and. Play for him but they just don't win enough and there has been no real turn around and improvement in years. No good blaming injuries all the time, every club has them. Jamie Elliott is pretty good but not great and what did they honestly expect fitness wise from Daniel Wells.
Even in SuperCoach you wouldn't have Elliott because he's not that great and not even close friends and relatives pick Wells because they know he'll be out injured
Pie would be doing cartwheels in the street.
Could be a crouching celebration on steroids.
Who’s the April Fool ,
Danger out .not playing
dont scare us Mike hahah
Anyword on Kreuz and length out?
Thats a good question, and its a worry for Kreuz owners. Groins can be awkward. One week can become 3.
My biggest concern as well, especially because he's a big bloke.
As I've hit most of the rookies (I think), I can go Kreuz next week down to anyone but Gawn (leaning to Nank).
The thing I'm tossing up on is whether or not to bring in English this week (I have Olango) to avoid the zero.
Problem is, if I do that, I won't have a captain's loophole any longer.
I haven't got him because it occurred to me that he might be a massive injury risk given he gets injured pretty much every year except last year and the chance of a continued injury free run seemed a bit of a long shot for a 600 k plus player.
Not really I only say that because I know how popular it is to be clever with the benefit of hindsight.
Hope he plays this week but only because I want to see Collingwood get pumped but that won't happen if they can't compete with Grundy
Cogs score likely to improve with Scully gone?
And tarranto
hrmmm who do you take then lol
Got cogs and giving serious consideration to going brayshaw to tarranto next week.
GWS gonna hurt some sides this year
yeh i got neither and ditching brayshaw this week. can afford either. who you reckon?
cogs more likely to continue those scores safer bet?
Depends if you need coverage in the mids or fwd?
Both got some serious talent
Cogs may well b an m8 all year.
GWS selections give me headaches. Same as Sydney a few years back. You pick JPK, he stinks it up and Hannebury fires. You pick Hannebury, he stinks it up and Parker fires etc etc.
Does it change what they're doing with Whitfield I've got him and he has had a good start
1817 including captain with 6 to play .. 2400's realistic.
Looking good, I'm 1860 including captain with 5 to go.. Looking for a 2300-2350.
I have a spare 115k after upgrading coffield to bonner, next week. Downgraded kreuzer to nic nat this week… only player i am unsure about is taberner, he has scored well and shown potential in games to avg 90, good for a forward. Do i keep him or downgrade to a Christensen and pocket more cash? All rookies are playing and "premos"perfroming otherwise.
Keep him, save the trade, you got taberner in to make you cash and average 90, trading him to Christensen is essentially burning 2 trades because you’ll have to trade Christensen at some point.
Thouy to Bonner at D3? Will free up some cash to upgrade Rayner to a breakout contender next week, maybe Petracca at F5 plus get another rookie. Good move or hold and get another games info?
Who is thouy?
Zach Thouy from Geel .. the irish man. I picked him as a hopeful keeper but think Bonner can go close to his output. Will redeploy cash to FWD line to keep my overall structure
ohhhh touhy ahahahaha
I would be holding him as I think he can average 95 this year. Trades are valuable when we see how many premo injuries there are. Although scrapping Rayner isn't the worst option. I would wait till next week to do this if you are going to go through though – one more game sample size will be very important.
Hold thouy.
Let’s see if Bonnar was just a flash in the pan
his six games are all pretty good … minimum of about 18 possessions I think at good DE … but I agree the sensible option is to hold!
Didn't trade in Bonner … watch him rack up 30 and 2 goals!
with the potential 1 .3 mill offer to Lynch and LEVER 1 m Hogan 1 mill ,,, I imagine gawnie's pist off big time He only got 850 grand.. Would think a trade to Collingwood for Weideman and Dean Kent should raise the dough particularly with the spoons THE Demon doorman to replace Bucks
All overpaid Neil
Not the doorman he 's gonna look after the cup in sept BIG JOB that
We need to make the top 4 first.
Who is the doorman Neil?
I actually have met him and Sammy Allica for those with good memories and I really do believe he is a better coach than FIGJAM Going to be really something to see ablett danger and selwood not to mention TICH ONE HELLUVA GAME COMING UP
Yeah but who is the Doorman, and who is Figjam????
Figjam is Buckley but the Doorman has me stonkered.
OK, that's just confused me more.
Yeah will be a cracking game tomorrow, go cattas
When did Neil start speaking in code?..lol
Russty Russty FIGJAM is what buckley was called in his playing years .. It stood for Fark I'M Good Just Asked Me. .. The doorman is a demon relic ( like me) who has been manning the door to keep the riff raff out after the game for half a century People like him and Sammy allica and bootstudders property stevards all more knowledgeable than FIGJAM when will Collingwood wake up
Who to captain?
Buddy
Mitchell
Parker
Ablett
if it was me id go Mitchell but i'm not giving you my home address haha
cmon nic nat off to a slow start here
Kreuzer to Nic Nat not looking too good for me right now
At this point I am just pretty screwed because of this ruck situation.
Nic nat is a better inclusion than English. Next week you'll see with comparing kreuz score with nic nat.
Zak Jones out
Tim English on 0 points at quarter time…
Hmmmm great!!!
Is he even on the field ?
Hey Finn sorry about my comments yesterday, was out of line and I apologise..I was in a crap mood, shouldn't have taken it out on you.
Pretty sure I told you English would spud it up. Well done to everyone that ignored me
Bit of humility wouldn’t go astray….
You know what suck it up tommy, sick of whiners like you. Start listening to me and this stuff won’t happen
I jumped on board the Lobb train and that derailed yesterday … long way to go, but you can't get em all right!
You say a lot of stuff Sc_Wow most of it is incorrect or assumptive which is probably why you're ranked outside the top 20,000. Now and again you get it right with an obvious call and straight away you come here to tell everybody how much of a genius you are.
The 20,000 that are already hundreds of points in front of you include most of the people who comment here. So, pull your arrogant head in until your rank isn't such an embarrassment
Rival me and see where we end up. All my calls are backed up and I’d like to know which have been wrong
what is your team name SC
Don’t know where you’re pulling 20k from btw
seriously rank means nothing until after round 5-6 imho, until then it's just the world sorting itself out
Almost brought him in for Liam Ryan today.
Thank god I didn’t do that lol
Liam Ryan is a JET
I guess I have to get him in. Urgh
Geez this young kid English is really good at football..
Sure he's not German
And Bain missed him how Gator
Thank god he did neil
Update: English is on Zero at HALF TIME
I should have just taken a donut with Kreuz…
Same here Hedski.. Waste of a trade
At least you didn't trade him to Nic Nat like me…
After seeing English’s 0, I’m not regretting the trade even though I have had this planned for 2 weeks since Wnglish was named round 1
what about Longer Gat
Footywire says -1. hope he increases his output in the 2nd half and gets to -5 or even -10.
I felt like an idiot last week when I brought in Lycett to cover Kreuzer. Feel much better now.
I know many have similar stories, but I reckon I’ve cost myself some 130 pounts this week by having the wring rookies on field ( Murray instead of Finlayson, Giles Landon instead of Ryan(73 at half time), Fritsch instead of waterman (55 at galf time)).
The bright side is they are all making money.
Don’t feel bad rocksta I left 260 on the bench last week had every wrong rookie on the ground. Doh
Try Again:
I know many have similar stories, but I reckon I’ve cost myself some 130 points this week by having the wrong rookies on field ( Murray instead of Finlayson, Giles Landon instead of Ryan(73 at half time), Fritsch instead of Waterman(55 at half time)).
The bright side is they are all making money and will appreciate in value quickly.
Same here but to a lower extent.
Ryan is off field for Fritsch
Banfield is off for Brayshaw
Murphy is off for Finlayson
In hind sight would I change anything?
Na-da
Tim English zero at half time
I was regretting not bringing him in and following my game plan for a Kreuzer late out. Nic Nat is only on 30 but probably will get scaled up due to his sheer impact
Played Ryan last week, benched him this week. FMSC
Same
yep same
I don't think I will ever recover from my switch from Parker to Merret 5 mins before the bounce for the rest of the year.
Merrett still the better scorer
Ryan over Garlett is gonna cost me 100pts at the rate he's going 🙁
Think I might go Lobb to Ryan and Naughton to Lloyd/ Simpson next week.
Thoughts community?
Yeah, fair call, although lobb may still come good……
Giving him one more week
Then it will be too hard to move him on due to other players price changes. Trading him to Curnow is also something I have considered.
Bear in mind that Ryan scored 38 in round 1.
Yeah good point. The week the 38 rolls out should leave him making huge amounts of cash, however the possibility of him putting out another stinker is still there.
Will have to give this some thought.
Cheers
Lobb to Christensen..if you don't think Lobb is worth keeping?
