Traded him to Hogan, a risky move but I couldn't put up with him anymore.

AlbertonOval · 15/04/2018 at 23:10
He's stinking up my team presently. He needs to go ASAP

Steeeve · 16/04/2018 at 08:08
I'm holding Goldy. Fair chance whoever I bring in will spud it up. Just hope he throws a few tons out there. He was terrible last year and still averaged 90 odd.

Gees · 15/04/2018 at 23:01
That's terrible luck, who the hell picks Parfitt?!

AlbertonOval · 16/04/2018 at 00:07
That's a kick in the spuds, I bet you thought you were home and hosed

joe · 16/04/2018 at 13:23
Oh, he'll get close to that score again. That was only his nineteenth game. This year, he's already scored 104 and 92.

theRealPod · 16/04/2018 at 14:34
Agree joe, he looked really good and is definitely on the radar.

Scouser · 17/04/2018 at 20:52
Agreed, going to be a gun Parfitt, gutted I choose Taranto over him 2 weeks ago!

Troy · 19/04/2018 at 00:44
Why gutted? Taranto has tonned up in 3 out of 4 matches

r_calve · 15/04/2018 at 22:27
wait another week for merrett to bottom out

David C · 16/04/2018 at 13:34
I'm looking at Hibberd to Danger next week.

Scouser · 17/04/2018 at 20:54
McLean a safer option atm Earl, running through the guts and involved in the thick if it, teammates always looking for him also so he's a key COG in Bevis midfield plan this year. Greene is sublimely talented but just too untrustworthy for a full season of SC for mine, prime candidate for finals time though!

Bingobangojingojango · 15/04/2018 at 21:46
Doing the same thing. They have stained the pant too many times now

seen_burns · 15/04/2018 at 22:23
3 round avg of 68…

David C · 16/04/2018 at 13:37
Yeh, he got hyped up too much, just an expensive rookie. Plus Pittard was good in the magoos. Glad I didn't get sucked in.

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 13:47
Fine if you started him, won’t cost to much to go upto Yeo next week

Superspuds · 15/04/2018 at 21:59
Fisher to Mclean and Steven to Dusty should fix a couple of holes for me but I still have Hibberd and Bont

Marty · 16/04/2018 at 18:17
Yes I'm very happy i started with O'Meara but I shouldn't speak too soon; the Supercoach Gods are always listening.

Whatyasmokin · 17/04/2018 at 01:51
JOM was such a gun, slight burns last year starting with him, and I said last year id go through it all again just for the chance he came good. People probably thought I was nuts, hopefully it pays off all year.

joe · 16/04/2018 at 13:34
Gotta hold Billings because he's doing exactly what we expected of him. Last year he had three games scoring in the 50s but still ended up with an average of 92 and was (from memory) a top 10 forward.

David C · 16/04/2018 at 13:40
Billings might come good, I'm sitting on him until the byes and will trade him then if he hasn't improved. Zorko on the other hand has lost his magic wand. Beams is not firing and Rocky is gone. The opposition are going to target Zorko. If I had him I'd be moving him on.

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 13:46
I wouldn’t mind bringing in a 400k billings

Steeeve · 16/04/2018 at 15:55
Worked out well for many last year

Scouser · 17/04/2018 at 20:59
For sure, never convinced to start him this year though, v.few KPF actually worth the punt in SC, Buddy and JJ the current exceptions. He'll come good it's just a question of when and how consistent he can be.

Steeeve · 16/04/2018 at 08:06
Just hold them mate

The stare · 16/04/2018 at 21:38
The good ones

r_calve · 15/04/2018 at 22:22
wait another week for merrett to bottom out

Steeeve · 15/04/2018 at 22:47
And for Mirra to be on the bubble.

JohnDJ59 · 16/04/2018 at 16:12
I reckon both need to go,who you get for them is up to you yaboyazza.

Sana · 16/04/2018 at 17:13
I'm in the same boat Yabo
Very tempted to omit both. Community thoughts on this would be much appreciated. I have a little bit of dosh so might look at Sicily too…

Gees · 15/04/2018 at 22:59
I think coffield is worth the trade this week

Steeeve · 15/04/2018 at 23:06
Could be. That elevated price is scaring me off.

Demons 5th 4 2018 · 15/04/2018 at 23:31
If you haven't used many trades YES he is. If you have already burnt 4-5 trades probably wait until next weeks bubble boys.

Whatyasmokin · 17/04/2018 at 01:54
Holmans be is only 25……….Im holding for sure unless injured.

theRealPod · 16/04/2018 at 14:38
Don't do it.

Sabsy · 16/04/2018 at 19:59
He's piquing my interest. But my interest hasn't yet peaked.

Demons 5th 4 2018 · 15/04/2018 at 23:23
Jake Lloyd will average mid 90's for sure but if you want 100+ you will need to pony up $$$ or wait or get more cash for Yeo 509k (BE 122)
STRONG PASS ON RYAN for me.

JJames · 16/04/2018 at 00:15
Luke Ryan was looking the goods until this round maybe it was just a bad game and everyone has bad games maybe except Tom bloody Mitchell, What makes Ryan a strong pass for you?

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 11:31
They are all quite short, but don’t think you need to worry about their heights for SuperCoach.

Whatyasmokin · 17/04/2018 at 01:56
Was close to locking him in at the start, but my 2nd year fears stopped me. Foolish biased fears Im thinking.

flex350 · 16/04/2018 at 08:53
Think you need to wait on Merrett, see if he can string two games together.

Troy · 19/04/2018 at 00:47
Merrett is a proven premium mid. He'll ton up for the rest of the year

Scouser · 17/04/2018 at 21:52
Done the exact trade this week Coxy, Nanks history shows he is around the 100 mark, this year's elite ruckmen are stepping it up so a trade to Grundy looks ideal atm IMO. Cox not really impacting him and he looks in top form.

David C · 16/04/2018 at 13:49
I think you'd be better off trading Bonner down to Mirra next week (assuming he plays and does well). This raises the cash to take Hibberd up if he is still spudding it.

Whatyasmokin · 17/04/2018 at 01:57
Agree

Jim · 17/04/2018 at 09:06
What price would you say Coffield is going to reach if he maintains his current form? I'm thinking holding Barry for a downgrade to Mirra or Guelfi might be better than Coffield.

theRealPod · 16/04/2018 at 08:03
Mirra looks good but I'm waiting another week. I think Billings will come good.

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 11:28
Mirra did real good. I think he might get a few games now.
His score on weekend was inflated as Frawley was Sick.

theRealPod · 16/04/2018 at 11:39
Solid player doesn't panic under pressure. The Hawks turned it on for your trip over, they're looking good.

JohnDJ59 · 16/04/2018 at 16:18
Any of the trades you have mentioned look good,both Hibbo & Billings are not traveling well and Hurley & McLean should be in the top def & fwds, but cash generation is also paramount and Coffield looks the goods.

Whatyasmokin · 17/04/2018 at 01:59
Not a big fan of these sideways moves. If Barry isnt named then trade him to Coffield.

David C · 16/04/2018 at 13:53
yeh the problem is there are no other reliable defenders after Laird. Might as well hold Hibberd until the best option presents itself. Or take a gamble on someone like Sicily or Savage or Hurley.

Brad · 16/04/2018 at 14:16
Hurley as reliable as they come

Crowboy94 · 16/04/2018 at 08:44
So if I could go Brayshaw down to another rookie and upgrade Doedee to a premo DEF leaving me with still 100k in the bank would you?

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 08:47
Yeah something like that is ok although dodee still has money to make.
I just wouldn’t use my war chest on a sideways trade

Mick · 16/04/2018 at 08:51
Do you think trade fisher to Kent is a side ways trade as well? Or fisher down to a rookie n free up money?

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 08:53
Fisher to Kent is as sideways as it gets. Fisher to rookie or premo

Mick · 16/04/2018 at 08:56
I can swap fisher to jom or a taranto?

Ja191 · 16/04/2018 at 09:07
Still sideways Mick, more like fisher to guelfi in a week or to heeney/mclean

Mick · 16/04/2018 at 09:22
Thanks mate. Probably bring Sicily down from the defence n bring in Coffield. On the bubble n looks like he will have the best job security.

Scouser · 17/04/2018 at 21:56
Mirra will save you 80k if you can wait a week and run the risk he actually delivers this week, signs are good though

theRealPod · 16/04/2018 at 10:27
Nice rank keep it going. Agree with your post no need to panic, stick fat and look for fallen premium bargains.

Tibor · 16/04/2018 at 10:56
I don't think the ranking is a great indicator at this stage WoW. 19 points covers 600 all the way to 800 and The 1000th ranked player is only 30 odd points from you.
The top tier on the other hand has really scooted away. With the leader being close to a staggering 400 points in front of you.
Trade numbers interest me more. Agree 100 % on the avoiding sideways trades and patience with premos but not sure when the best time to cash in a cow. I'm still holding Naughton Finlayson Doedee Murphy Murray Holman Kelly Banfield Garlett Fisher Fogarty and Fritsch. Have only used 2 trades and seriously considering leaving well enough alone for at least another week while they fatten up.
My past history is to be very miserly with trades early then step it up through the byes for a strong finish, This is good for league finishes but maybe there is a better way for ranking
Any thoughts

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 11:03
Yeah I’ve actually consistently made ground on that top tier in terms of points, started 600 off and have been closing every week. Think I’m should be allowed to share my rank.
Yeah I think getting full premo early as possible, picking off players when they have bottomed out. And structure for byes

Tibor · 16/04/2018 at 11:17
No blue on sharing the rank but it's all very close around that point, have gone from 300's to now low 800's in just two weeks. Captain choice can be so critical I had Dusty two weeks back and now Titch and haven't had a ton from either.
Still focused on timing the Danger in call. His break even is still over 200 again this week. I've got JOM and the rookies previously mentioned so one more hold week should see me get Danger at a tidy discount.
What could possibly go wrong?

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 11:26
Same can be said for me readrding captains, id be top 100 if I hadn’t backed Danger twice
Danger could go 200 and Jom could do a hammy

Tibor · 16/04/2018 at 12:03
The Danger going the double ton call is not unreasonable most people would expect this to happen eventually and a return to Adelaide this weekend makes that at least some chance. I took the gamble by not starting him so I'll roll the dice just once more and get him for the game after.

Marty · 16/04/2018 at 18:26
Captains have cost me two out of the last three weeks. Congrats on your ranking. Trying to get mine higher than 4k.

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 11:23
Great advice Wow
Even if you are upgrading a Lobb or someone else, don’t automatically go for McLean or Gray. They are too expensive now. Look for value elsewhere.
Make your own decisions.
Think about Jocks’s vacuum of opportunity
Cyril and Poppy going down at Hawthorn. What opportunities does that present?

BrownlowBoy · 16/04/2018 at 12:00
Gives Tom Mitchell more chance to kick snags?

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 12:39
Nice job wow

Teehee · 16/04/2018 at 13:25
talking to yourself again?

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 13:33
This again? I think you'll find the trolls have been banned that were the single person. SC related please.

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 13:37
Yeah I’m sure Lek patch or whoever could also confirm we post from different ip addresses. Getting old Teehee

Ricardo · 16/04/2018 at 12:50
Agreed. Billings had it 23 times yesterday, just couldn't hit a target and kicked a couple of behinds. Once he hits a few more targets those 60s become 80s or 90s.

Holty01 · 16/04/2018 at 15:35
Nice. I am sitting at 283…………………7………………..9
My inability to hit the vc has hurt. Havent been able to use 1 vc score to date

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 15:42
Yeah my vc has only been used rd1 rest of the side is solid

Marty · 16/04/2018 at 18:27
Awesome rank Holty.

belly button fluff · 16/04/2018 at 19:24
Hey Wow nice ranking well done. Considering my team is doing shit for some reason (weird because I thought it the best in a long time), can I at least say I told you so when it came to Danger and him not scoring more than his average against STK. Just so I can tell the grand-kiddies I told the great Wow he was making a bad choice. ;P
Just stirrin ya. You've got me everywhere else I reckon. 😀
Nice work!

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 20:11
Yep be sure to tell them that mate. I’m backing the big danger in again though. Carn danger

belly button fluff · 16/04/2018 at 20:44
I think I may join you this week which means I am getting him a week earlier than I was planning, but I think I will feel a lot better with him. Every time he touches the ball for the first in a game lately, I do a little poo in my pants. I think this is the week in Adelaide he scores well, provided it is sunny.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 21:09
well done wow with the rank, hope you can challenge the big prize this year, it'd be great for one of the JR community to win it, it would automatically make you a God 🙂

Crazy eyes · 16/04/2018 at 22:03
ohhhhh slurp slurp slurp, you are all bum chums after your bans

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 22:10
Hi Crazy Eyes, we were already bum chums before that mate, I can recognize someone who contributes something good to the community from someone like you, who really doesn't, good luck with your trolling, it won't last long.

Bill · 16/04/2018 at 22:19
thats a big sentence for someone with all those balls in his mouth, mmm 66 your fab deary

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 22:22
Hi Bill, I make a mean Turkey meatball dish mate, I use a shitload of garlic, onions, chilli, my own home grown Tomatoes in the sauce, to die for!… you should come over for dinner sometime, I'm a pretty good cook.

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 22:55
Yours Friday night Russty? I can't wait to get your meatball in my mouth. Such a good cook!

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 23:53
Balls and noodles in the mouth mate haha, and then we go troll Hunting for fun…lol

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 22:33
P.S I make my own hand rolled pasta too…Belisimo!

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 22:52
Hey Bill I know good Tarantino movie you can watch. It has your name in the title. <img draggable="false" class="emoji" alt="😊" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.4/svg/1f60a.svg"&gt;

Trevor · 16/04/2018 at 23:05
Cool, Pulp Fiction has a scene with you and your gimp Rusty

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 23:08
That could've been funny 25 years ago.

sebastian · 16/04/2018 at 23:19
bring out the snitch, i mean gimp

Russty_ · 17/04/2018 at 00:11
I'm so glad you, Sebastian, and Trevor and Bill, and crazy eyes and teehee can all join us tonight, it's so nice to spend time with good friends who share a similar interest in the finer points of Supercoach, well done guys for supporting the community, much appreciated 🙂
You're all top blokes and deserve to be recognized.

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 23:25
Just one bloke at it again aye. What a life. Trolling for no real purpose other than to add excitement to the poor souls boring meaningless life. Poor fella.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 23:31
Haha yeah he's getting really good value out of his VPN, Lek just needs to block his port and they'll all be stuffed lol

Kim · 16/04/2018 at 21:59
Are you worried that Ebert will tag danger sc_wow? Very risky captain this week, like tmitch this week also Jacobs odds on to tag him. No way I'd captain either of them this week. Dusty or Fyfe for me.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 22:02
Definitely a risk Kim, but i think if Danger doesn't start knocking out 150's pretty soon, we'll have to consider that maybe he's on the decline.

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 22:13
Was ebbert playing when he scored 160 odd last year? Danger is due, he’s got one last chance to prove he’s a reliable C

neil demons delight · 16/04/2018 at 10:00
Hi Ranger I don't think he will make as much as Mirra but J S is as good.Most probably end up a good player playing for another club. I am thinking of going Brayshaw to one of them cheers

Swans2012 · 16/04/2018 at 12:23
I think I'll take coffield if Murphy or dom are out again this week, looks like he will make cash

The Ranger · 16/04/2018 at 13:37
Leaning that way too Swans. Barry prob the one in the sights.
Liked the look of Coffield in the JLT and he looked good again yesterday, he uses it well and Saints don't have many that can do that so you'd think his JS must be ok.
Opens up the swing with Finlayson too.
Of course Barry will prob get a ton if I do it…

theRealPod · 16/04/2018 at 14:33
No one in Saints a must have.

Whatyasmokin · 17/04/2018 at 02:03
Only one looking remotely close is Savage

SW Rooster XXX · 16/04/2018 at 11:33
Well played birdbrain……
All Rook back structure hasn't been the issue at all mate…..
More so underperforming premos and injuries in other lines eg Billings and Kreuzer going like goats…
The Rookie backs are performing fine and are actually amongst the highest scoring rookies so have had no issue with their output what so ever….. If anything have exceeded expectation in terms of output……..

D C · 16/04/2018 at 12:09
So what's your point? Everyone has those rookies…..where are you gaining in the field of overall seeing as you saved yourself by going shallow in backline?
Looks to me as though you've fallen behind even more this week with your excuses about injuries…..

SW Rooster XXX · 16/04/2018 at 12:40
My point is everyone has to have a certain amount of rookies on the ground – as it stands the backline rookies save for Kelly in the mid and Holman in the mid (until this week) have been the better performing rookies score wise so have had no issue them all being on the ground…..
Essentially due to Greene being injured (missed 2 games), Billings spudding it up apart from Round1 and Kreuzer missing 1 and a half games and going terrible when he has played I haven't got any benefit out of being more premo heavy in the other lines.
Obvioulsy saving money in the backs enabled greater spending else where eg rucks/forward and under performing premos and injuries in them lines has prevented that benefit coming to fruition…..
So to answer your question I am not using injuries as excuses at all, everyone gets injuries.. Injuries aside just got the Billings and Kreuzer calls wrong – shit happens… Closer to expected output from them 2 and ranking would look a whole lot different…..
Happy to have tried something different it's a game!!! Giving the $$ back rooks are making will be able to start upgrading back 6 relatively quickly and pick off some fallen back premos… have no hurry to do anything in the other lines other than hope Billings & Kreuz come good……. Taranto is at F6 and Kelly & Holman (unitl this week) been serviceable at M7 & M8
Rank will improve steadily I am sure as ranks are still very congested….

Swans2012 · 16/04/2018 at 12:25
Early days rooster, I haven't checked but can't be more than 4-500 points between you and the top 5k. Burn trades if you need to to fix things and ride it for luck at the end of the season

SW Rooster XXX · 16/04/2018 at 12:42
thx mate…..
No need to burn trades just yet – happy to wait out Kreuze & Billings and hope they come good……. Back rooks still making $$$..
Although Bonner has slowed down and breakeven is creeping up…..
Its early days……

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 13:11
Nice work Rooster. Don't give up! Stick fat.

Bipolar 66 · 16/04/2018 at 13:24
sluuurrrrp

Terry · 16/04/2018 at 17:27
haha he loves it

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 21:17
These two above need their IP addresses blocked Lek,and or email addresses, or just be banned from posting…and if they have VPN's, block their ports, that'll work.
They bring nothing to the site but negative hateful trolling.

Harry · 16/04/2018 at 23:08
Old rust balls the snitch

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 23:14
Yeah , may as well get rid of the sludge before it clogs the pipes mate, I was always a snitch, didn't you know?…hhahahah

Slurper · 17/04/2018 at 05:00
Come here Rusty I’ll give you a pat on the head slurp slurp

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 17:32
Meow

belly button fluff · 16/04/2018 at 21:06
Last week When i checked there was only 200 points between top 14% and top 2%. Not sure what is happening this week. But it is the most congested I can remember.

Russty_ · 17/04/2018 at 00:35
You should probably quit, cause it's hard to actually win it when you don't actually exist.

Slurper · 17/04/2018 at 05:02
Slurp

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 11:11
I’m expecting many questions this week regards trading Billings out.
I expect Saints can’t get any worse, and hopefully improve, especially as season gets going and everyone slows down a bit.
I’m holding him. Forwards are too hard to work out this year, so hold who you have and look at upgrading the rookies.
Gray will be popular, but too expensive. Was and will continue to be a round 11 trade target.

zerowins · 16/04/2018 at 12:10
I see what your understanding Derek but isnt your advice to buy premiums at 520k and under

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 15:13
No. I always look to buy premiums cheaper than their starting price.
Neil said something about $520k, but that was referring to the calculation that everyone has to do in order to get their last few premiums in. When you are down to only needed a few more premiums to be at “full premium” you might not have the cash or the cash generation left to get who you want, therefore you need to look for the cheaper options. Neil just mentioned $520k because if people use all their cash now, that might be all they can afford for the final places.
I pick my best team from the start as if money no problem and as those boys drop in price I snap them up.

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 15:15
Billing’s in there?

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 11:06
He was in my team all preseason. Only took him out because he wasn’t named round 1.
Picked him up In my draft league, wouldn’t mind him getting a game

Rick Grimes · 17/04/2018 at 18:55
Surely plays this week.

Northernsoul74 · 16/04/2018 at 11:21
Prob going to wait another week and see how Guelfi goesagain.

Whatyasmokin · 16/04/2018 at 13:53
No rush for me. Hope everyone ditches him and he slow burns to a decent stepping stone. It's happened before it'll happen again!

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 13:19
That's what a brain aneurysm does. Lucky he's ok!

BloodyFranklin · 16/04/2018 at 13:43
I don't think it was an aneurysm bro.

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 15:36
Correct otherwise he'd be dead! Was his irregular heart beat.
But an aneurysm makes people drop like we saw. Just reminded me of it.

BloodyFranklin · 16/04/2018 at 16:59
You must if you replied, Sunshine. 😙

BloodyFranklin · 16/04/2018 at 16:59
Not necessarily SC_Sixty, a lot of brain aneurysm cases are non-fatal.
Scary stuff though! It wouldn't be the first time an athlete suddenly died from cardiovascular issues; only a few weeks ago a Croatian footballer collapsed under similar circumstances and was dead a few minutes later.
Same thing happens with racehorses, that is predominantly why so many cop a 12 gauge to the head on the way to the Clag factory.

gator59 · 16/04/2018 at 17:02
Nor what you think mate so just move on

BloodyFranklin · 16/04/2018 at 17:13

Similar thing happened in America the other week in a basketball game, poor guy didn't make it unfortunately. Really scary to watch.

BloodyFranklin · 16/04/2018 at 17:21
That's terrible. It must be horrible to witness and even more devastating to those around him.
… I'd be lying if I said I hope it wasn't Donald Trumpet.

BVB21 · 16/04/2018 at 17:24
I thought an effort was being made to clean up these forums.
No we have politics coming in here and hoping the US President dies.

BloodyFranklin · 16/04/2018 at 17:36
It's all part of the cleansing bro. 👻

So glad he is getting through it. Work colleague lost a husband like that when they were walking through a shopping centre – mid 30s – gone, dead when he hit the ground.
(On a lighter note, if there is one, if it had been Matthew Lloyd, community would have been up him staging for a free kick.)

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 22:20
Did they only just find out in that game that Roberton had an irregular Heartbeat?…bloody devastating for him and his family, hope he doesn't have to give up Footy.

BloodyFranklin · 17/04/2018 at 10:47
You'd have to assume so man. I wouldn't think they would risk it had he been previously diagnosed with a potentially fatal CVD or anything like that.
There will be lots of things that need to be taken into consideration from this point forward. The insurance premiums alone could be enough to call it. I wouldn't be surprised if Roberton has to make some drastic decisions regarding his future.

Whatyasmokin · 16/04/2018 at 13:52
That's why corrective rookie trades can be necessary and even downgrading failed premos/mid pricers and building a bank to pick off the guns u need is a valid tactic depending on the situation.

Jam · 16/04/2018 at 13:54
Just wait. The rookies like brayshaw will go up and down, but one good game and they are up again.

Whatyasmokin · 16/04/2018 at 13:50

You can find websites to tell you breakevens as well though.

Pranav Santhosh · 16/04/2018 at 12:26
for some reason i can see the breakevens but im not a gold member am i just lucky or will it go away soon

Jace · 16/04/2018 at 15:12
Yeh i too am getting gold for free at the moment,re-breakevens etc.
But i was a gold member last year they may still have me listed some how as still having Gold membership.

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 13:49
I’d recommend spending the $20

nankthetank · 16/04/2018 at 13:59
Go to http://www.footywire.com
They have BE's, predicted price rises and plenty of other stats, very useful

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 14:11
G’day nank

Lekdog · 16/04/2018 at 17:06
I like footywire too but Supercoach Gold makes life very easy

BockChoy · 16/04/2018 at 12:20
Petracca is averaging 88.8 so far (up from 78.8 for 2017), so is far from a disaster. Billings is averaging 82.8 (down from 92.7), so is a bigger problem but has already taken the price hit. If you trade him out, you will realise the loss without any chance to make it back. Unless you are in a position to upgrade to a top 6 FWD, you should probably hold.

zerowins · 16/04/2018 at 12:39
Robbie gray is who i will be getting.

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 13:48
Just after his price has jumped up? I’d wait

zerowins · 16/04/2018 at 13:54
Until when. Reckon he may hover around 550k

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 13:56
You’d be trading billings?

zerowins · 16/04/2018 at 15:20
Or Petracca

Doc · 16/04/2018 at 13:27
Coffield. Can swing with Finlayson as well

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 16/04/2018 at 12:25
And hannas?
Two proven premos producing very unlike scoring.

BockChoy · 16/04/2018 at 12:27
I carried JPK and Hanneberry for all of last year with underwhelming performance. Steered clear this year.

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 13:13
If he keeps this up would be a nice M9

DavidSA · 16/04/2018 at 13:30
To have Kennedy and Rockliff on the bench with the 3rd mid bench player donut would be a great back end play

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 13:33
Yeah although the way rocky is going about things I'd rather field rookie Kelly!

Mervtheperv · 16/04/2018 at 15:01
For some reason or another, Josh Kennedy generally comes good after the byes.

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 15:03

Dice_real · 16/04/2018 at 12:25
Probably hear throughout the week about Mirra Hayden. Will Frawley miss any weeks?

KSinny · 16/04/2018 at 12:28
dont think so all he had was a migrane

Hayden · 16/04/2018 at 12:39
Hold for one more week until Mirra is on the bubble, and I miss the chance at Coffield. Should I downgrade to him instead? BE of -45, whilst Hibberd will drop another 30k this week. Thoughts?

Dice_real · 16/04/2018 at 12:52
I'm a fan of the early trade in, only if that player has fairly decent JS. Especially when you can only trade 2 per week, you could be just short of coin to get that premium in

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 16/04/2018 at 12:26
Wouldnt go early on mirra just incase.
We cant control injuries and u should wait till he is on the bubble.
Look at cyril and poppy. U just dont know.

DavidSA · 16/04/2018 at 13:22
Players like Hurn, Mundy and Wallace in fwd line will seperate you.
Probably need at least 3 players in the 22 who are in less than 7% of team selections.
Of course the PODs need to score extreamly well also.
To select Merrett now? Next week? Or not at all?
Those kinda decisions are a prime example of what can seperate top 1k to the rest

Theoriginalforce · 16/04/2018 at 13:47
With Franklin's form I'm Vc'ing him as often as possible. That 200 will come soon.

INPieman · 16/04/2018 at 14:51
You don't necessarily need to start with POD's. Finding them & how they go throughout the season defines your season

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 16/04/2018 at 15:19
True but a couple off the bat always handy out of the gates.

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 15:34
Agree Happy! Goto start with 2 pods in my book minimum. 4 max. Minimises the loss if you fail but if you succeed in the picks then you go straight ahead…..no catch up through 'smart trading' which is what we all try to do anyway.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 16/04/2018 at 17:46
Started 2-4 mainly purple pods
Ryan and walters and crowden on bench.
Also started bonner not sure if he was a pod though.
Game of inches.
If kelly played this weekend scores 120 would be top 1000 field a rookie and drop a 1000 spots.
Just have to ride the waves.

Marty · 16/04/2018 at 18:57
Have now 4 onfield rookies to not follow the pack and have Mitchell Dusty McCrae Fyfe, Cogs, Jom, Kelly T and Holman with .
Now to decide whether to put the pedal to the metal and go Brayshaw to a rookie and Holman to Gibbs. Kelly or Jom to Danger in a few more weeks then just Oliver to get.
What are people's thoughts on Bryce Gibbs?

Raver_dave · 16/04/2018 at 21:23
My biggest pod was zorko, what a ripper that's been……………

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 22:41
I have Gibbs purely because crouch went down with a hammy. Gibbs will only get better once crouch back in and Sloane gets over his injury.

Tibor · 16/04/2018 at 14:46
I'm thinking one more week on Bonner. Has an 80 average and a 58 break even. Another good Sicily score this week but had the yap running early on Sunday then settled when everything went his way. I can't see my way clear to trust him not to throw another flog tantrum but to each their own

DavidSA · 16/04/2018 at 13:27
Yup that feeling takes me back to when I selected Franklin rd7 and VC him scoring 160×2
They are the best

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 13:23
Option 2. Sicily the general back there and takes the kick outs. Kicks to himself in most of those too.
No need to explain Gray but be wary of his rd 10 bye.

DavidSA · 16/04/2018 at 13:35
Yup I fell ya
Thank you for the reinforcement 👍

Ricardo · 16/04/2018 at 14:02
Depends on what you're playing for. For leagues try and win 2/3 bye games.

DavidSA · 16/04/2018 at 14:07
yeah for league heavily load 2/3 bye rounds with 20+ playing
For rank need to trade around the byes and get 19 playing each bye round.

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 14:04
Hoping our podcast will be up in time for the byes to give you guys the perfect edge!
Myself and Wow are working hard on it as we speak!

DavidSA · 16/04/2018 at 14:12

Crowboy94 · 16/04/2018 at 13:49
Wont worry about it now. Probably just going to hold this week. Even though I have billings and hibberd

Finnius · 16/04/2018 at 15:29
Doedee will rise another 60-100k imo

Whatyasmokin · 17/04/2018 at 02:07
He could end up going up another 200k, who knows.

lukeparkerfanboy1 · 16/04/2018 at 14:16
wow! you really seem to be in a hole i hope the community can help you XD

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 14:17
Bit harsh on bonner, I’d get rid of kruuu and that dodgy groin though

SgtMarshallBB · 16/04/2018 at 14:21
Yeah thats fair Sc_Wow, well what are your thoughts on who to move Kreuzer too? Grundy who has been in hot form and in my opinion will continue, or go for someone like nic nat?

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 14:23
Yeah Grundy looks good

Tibor · 16/04/2018 at 14:48
One more run for Bonner has a 58 b.e.

Whatyasmokin · 16/04/2018 at 21:24
Yep

deancoxlover · 16/04/2018 at 14:18
Rate these moves despite the notorious historical form from both Kreuzer and Bonner. with your current bank balance, these moves will only benefit your side!

EasyMoneySniper · 16/04/2018 at 14:24
Get rid of both

Whatyasmokin · 17/04/2018 at 02:08

yeah im getting a bit too jumpy..
What about Gray?

Dice_real · 16/04/2018 at 14:52
Yeah go for Gray, but i'd be keeping Petracca too he's going ok.
Who else is in your fwd line?

Da Boysh · 17/04/2018 at 09:09
i can cover him easily in that round, I have no pot players or GC players yet

Whatyasmokin · 16/04/2018 at 21:23
You trade petracca to Gray in round 10 if still not happy with him. Otherwise it means you miss a player score…………..

Captain Risky · 16/04/2018 at 15:09
If Hogan can go OK this week against Richmond then he's gone some way to convincing me he is worth having. Still on the fence.

Monsanto# · 16/04/2018 at 15:09
Any team that overturns the coach and the fitness staff regarding the difficulty of their preseason camp – Beware. Demon supporters won’t like my comments. Too bad. I have Gawn and Oliver who look to be execeptions. Fingers crossed.

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 15:19
I was at the game. After half time Melbourne couldn’t run. It was very obvious, when Melb got the ball, the hawks defence got back quicker than Melb forwards. Once the hawks started their short passing, Melb tired very quickly. Last quarter none of them could run

Tibor · 16/04/2018 at 16:01
Melbourne looked a million dollars early then played like millionaires. The tackle count was very telling. Hawthorn just played much better wet weather football.
Wouldn't be too sure about the run factor long term, it always tends to look like that when you get outplayed around the contest. I don't put any stock in the pre season camp thing. Hawthorn were great from red time in the first quarter.
More than anything melbourne always do this they get way ahead of themselves based on next to nothing. They've beaten Brisbane and the Roos, Big deal

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 15:15
There will be cheaper options.

Finnius · 16/04/2018 at 15:27
I agree – he is too expensive to downgrade to. Trades for me are worth at least 100k or 20 points per round.

BoltonsBlues · 17/04/2018 at 01:56
Brayshaw or LDU to Coffield is worth the trade
Will out score both
Will be worth more then both
Will make more money in 1 week then the 2 have made all year
JS is good

Simo · 16/04/2018 at 15:40
I agree about MIrra

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 15:59
They were probably trading out Fisher

DavidSA · 16/04/2018 at 16:10
dont know if that is bad or worse lol

Crowboy94 · 16/04/2018 at 17:38
Knew it would happen Haha he had one great game. Wont happen to often

Swans2012 · 16/04/2018 at 18:40
104, 92, 62 and 168 good set of figures for a 390k m/f, not a one game wonder it would seem, not saying I'm doing it but there certainly is worse choices around, a short term ride the wave from an underperforming mid pricer might not be the worst move. At least he'll make $$ the next couple of weeks. I can't lie A little bit of me is considering Whitfield to parfitt, then parfitt to danger in a fortnight. I have had horrible failures with these sort of moves in the past, but also some success…..

theRealPod · 16/04/2018 at 19:30
Agree Swansl. Any player that can produce a massive score like he did must be considered as a pod. Go with ya gut.

Whatyasmokin · 16/04/2018 at 21:21
The burns will be real.

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 15:58
That is exactly what I did last round.
I debated if Coniglio is top 10, and I thought he is close. At worse he will upgrade to Danger in a few weeks.
$499 for. Premium. Even if he takes a midfield spot, take him while you can

fcabel · 16/04/2018 at 22:10
agree. get on board

INPieman · 16/04/2018 at 15:50
Nice work Finnius. I think if your willing to be patient with Brayshaw he can kick off off his price. Stepenson & Rayner proved last weekend it only takes 1 good week for them to reward you. The question is how long do you wait

Finnius · 16/04/2018 at 18:09
I am giving him one more – then will trade him, swing finlayson to the mids and bring in mirra. If he kills it then will reconsider, but can't have someone leaking cash on my bench.

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 16:01
Nice work mate. Might need to factor in how many keepers you actually started……smith, Sicily, Walters, McLean, cog were all mid pricers so were in the plan to possibly move on if they failed. So from what I've seen based off my starting team I only need 14 trades to go full premo…..4 corrective trades max before prices had risen and then allowed 8-10 for injuries……so far have had 7 injuries.
Going off those numbers that's 28 trades. Every team will be different Good write up though.

Tibor · 16/04/2018 at 17:44
If you allowed for 8 to 10 injuries and copped 7 in 4 weeks you'll be looking for a change of luck?

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 17:51
Not all inquiries require an instant trade out buddy.

Finnius · 16/04/2018 at 18:14
Agreed. I had sicily, smith, walters etc. but always considered them as keepers. I have already had to use 2 injury trades and a rookie correction, plus these two this week leaves me at 25.
As you say – each team is different as they may have coniglio, hogan etc. which means that they maybe squeezed in 15 keepers, as well as having different rookies of course.
Interesting to calculate NOW as to how many we need, so then you aren't stuck with problems at the end of the season and realising you could have fixed them up earlier. Very happy looking at my team atm with these trades – confident I have top 6 in every position, and I think that is what this week (and probably last week) is/was for.
def: laird, howe, sicily
mid: danger, titch, dusty, fyfe, clarry
ruck: grundy, gawn
fwd: heeney, Mclean, Walters, Smith.
Looks a lot worse without my recent corrections though.

Tibor · 16/04/2018 at 16:03
How did you arrive at those prices?

Finnius · 16/04/2018 at 18:08
moderating the SC gold projections.

Steve · 16/04/2018 at 16:18
How many more weeks will it take for English to arrive at that number? I need cash soon for upgrades.

Finnius · 16/04/2018 at 18:08
I am holding english until after rd 13 as I need him as cover for in the byes – but should be at 300k by rd 8ish, maybe even sooner if he pumps out an 80 odd this week.

Steve · 16/04/2018 at 19:56
Thanks mate, Looking at downgrading him to Olango, so a can upgrade Zorko, Neale or Whiftield to a Danger or Dusty

BVB21 · 16/04/2018 at 17:29
I think this year we have been blessed with some good rookies so I think aggressive sideways trades are better this year then most others

Finnius · 16/04/2018 at 18:15
agreed completely. Especially in the backline.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 16/04/2018 at 18:46
Yep 100%
I made comment on this last week
Lot more moo this year so easier to go one up one down.
Only thing that may throw a spanner in the works is having the right rookie downgrades at the right time.
But with the right moo rookies to start havent hesitated in trading out kruez and billings as early correctives .

Whatyasmokin · 17/04/2018 at 02:14
Its only round 4, we barely know anything about this year 😉

Ahmad rubas · 16/04/2018 at 18:00
Assuming you started 14 keepers how many keepers/premos would you excpect to have come the bye rounds?

Finnius · 16/04/2018 at 18:06
at the start 18/19 and by the end 22.

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 19:03
I think you will need more than $510k per premium upgrade. I was think about $540-$550k. Then you will need at least 1 decent DPP bench cover, maybe of the Petracca level.
I like how you are doing the maths and planning ahead.

Sandyf62 · 16/04/2018 at 17:58
I scored just under the 2000,two trades this week for me as well, Clark > Coffield & Ryan > McLean,will be trying to stop trading for the next few weeks,since I have gone through seven trades so far, had a few injuries and correction trades, but fairly happy at the moment with where my team is sitting.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 19:15
Hey guys…I like how you both went one up one down, should set your sides in a better place going forward and that's what you want, forget about the bad scores this week, you only need to make the top 8 to win the GF!…:) I got smashed in Leagues last week too, easy to recover from.

JohnDJ59 · 17/04/2018 at 01:04
Well said Russty, after last year and making the top five in all but one league,I decided I would just try and make the finals this year and looking at the competition even that is going to be a challenge, so not putting to much pressure on myself. Not to worried about the last round, I kind of knew I was in for a hard time when I double downgraded, although I expected to win more than one league game, which I would have if I went with my gut feeling about Dusty for VC, but I planned to go with Fyfe and didn't want to deviate from that.

Sandyf62 · 17/04/2018 at 19:40
Hi Russty, had the funds to go one up,it was just deciding between Heeney & McLean, so I could strengthen the fwds, couldn't have two rookies on the field in the fwds any longer.

BVB21 · 16/04/2018 at 17:27
Murphy is injured so I’ll wait to see if he gets named once fit.
Barry I think is done. Talking to a few of my port mates and he prob will struggle to get back into the team

Swans2012 · 16/04/2018 at 18:45
Yep might have to turn him into coffield….

Jack · 16/04/2018 at 18:55
Hold Murphy for sure because he comes straight back in once fit.
I'm hearing alot of people say Barry won't get back into Ports team and I believe that's only true if Port have no injuries from now to the end of the season. He'll play. At least hold him until the 1st week of byes and trade him then. You don't make much coin of it anyway

Wouldn’t go either of the two u suggested. Unlikely to be top 8 mid. Can u afford Oliver?

Andrew · 16/04/2018 at 17:29
I will be holding Zorko for one more week. Gold Coast at home this weekend is tasty, if he can’t ton up against them flick him – he’ll be as useful as a second hand condom for the rest of the season

r_calve · 16/04/2018 at 17:32
who else is gonna be a top 8 mid, Gibbs without both crouches and Sloane?

Petracconaldo · 16/04/2018 at 18:36
Gibbs is a good option, even Selwood or Pendles are solid options too. All 3 will defiantly finish top 15 at least

Northernsoul74 · 16/04/2018 at 18:48

Crowboy94 · 16/04/2018 at 17:56
Don't bother trading Billings. Lost to much money already.

Tibor · 16/04/2018 at 17:49
Steele is a gun, has been for a long time. Probably previous years sc scores fail to reflect how good he is but if he is in a bit more of a sc friendly role he may be very worthwhile. Grundy's good form does him no harm

r_calve · 16/04/2018 at 18:07
guelfi if he is named

Finnius · 16/04/2018 at 18:25
I'd want one more week to make sure of Lambert. Can't hurt to much – billings may just go huge and then you don't need to trade. Conversely, Lambert may screw up and you don't want him in. It won't cost you too much money either way and there is a lot more safety in it.
If you do it this week good luck to you! I wouldn't have the balls.

Swans2012 · 16/04/2018 at 18:29
Sorry hawk I don't feel like lambert is your man, can't really see him being a top 10 forward this year on what he has shown

Holty01 · 16/04/2018 at 19:14
I certainly am not 1 to give advice as i traded out Menegola after 2 rounds.😣
All i can say is back in ur premiums because as soon as you trade them out you will regret it.

theRealPod · 16/04/2018 at 19:17
Ouch, I hope you traded in a keeper.

Holty01 · 16/04/2018 at 19:47
I bought in Shaw. 😭

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 19:20
Hi Hawk, I reckon bite the bullet and just get Gray, he's looking really good and so are Port even though coming off a loss, Lambert is still a bit of an unknown quantity, meaning super unreliable.
Gray's only in 8% of teams so you're not following the crowd, he's almost a POD.

Tbh I’m eying off billings started similar last year before pushing his avg up. He’s def one that I’m looking to buy low. I’d stay away from lambert. Have had gray in my team since rd2 loving it

Josh · 16/04/2018 at 20:34
Just looking at he's stats from last year and it can be seen that he averaged 69 points in the first 5 rounds, and averaged 99 points afterwards

Whatyasmokin · 16/04/2018 at 21:13
Interesting.

TheBenchmark25 · 16/04/2018 at 20:42
I'm really enjoying everyone hitting the trade button on billings… just like a few did on menagola. A bit better disposal efficiency and goal conversion and this tons will be pumped out
I was going to trade but I'm backing the players I have chose
It's only a shark move if you go through with it 😉 but sometimes big balls doesn't give you the win

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 20:47
Problem is though, St-Kilda have the worst forward line in the world, and last week they left 2 of the 3 big 3 forwards out, and McCartin was still crap, Billings has no one to deliver it to, he'll have to kick them all himself.

TheBenchmark25 · 17/04/2018 at 10:49
He only had two inside 50s on the weekend
It feels like your thinking of excuses to make the trade so you feel a bit better ? Haha either way enjoy the game that is SuperCoach and back yourself in 👍

Whatyasmokin · 16/04/2018 at 21:15
Sorry but when I read
'Enter Kane Lambert. If I grab him over Gray'
I'd seen enough.
Pull yourself together man!

Finnius · 16/04/2018 at 18:23
I don't like the dow to coffield trade as I don't think that you get enough money out of it to be worth it. Wait one more week to get Guelfi/mirra using dpp. Maybe even go early on one of them to go Kreuzer to Grundy.

BoltonsBlues · 17/04/2018 at 02:08
Dow will play almost every week
Blues need to blood these kids, we are getting smacked every week but he will play, good for cover/slow money gain

David C · 17/04/2018 at 07:17
I doubt it.

JohnDJ59 · 16/04/2018 at 18:39
Yes

Northernsoul74 · 16/04/2018 at 18:52
No.

Finnius · 16/04/2018 at 18:52
idk if you get enough money out of it. Would be going for guelfi or mirra myself and pocketing the extra 70k.

Whatyasmokin · 16/04/2018 at 21:11
Yep agree. I'm just not sure if there's enough cash in between to justify Brayshaw to Coffield, especially as trades are so valuable at the end of the year. If he was scoring like Finlayson then yeah.

theRealPod · 16/04/2018 at 19:27
Yeah Kruz is definitely not 100% but for how long? Maybe wait and see a few more games.

Steeeve · 16/04/2018 at 19:45
Holding premos is never dumb unless they are out injured for the long term. Not to say you won't regret holding him. But holding him will not be a dumb move.

Lekdog · 16/04/2018 at 18:55
Hey Russty, glad to have you back.
Appreciate you in the community and everything you bring to the table.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 18:57
Thanks Lek, appreciate it mate, I shall endeavour to reign in my silly reactions to silly people from here going forward 🙂

belly button fluff · 16/04/2018 at 19:40
Maybe we should have abusers corner. A thread where people can just go at it for the season. Because all the posts to read did stop me from trading and reversing constantly.
Only joking BTW it's nice to see everyone calm and civil again.
Good to have you back. Russty. i like reading your comments.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 19:51
Cheers BBF…aka Lint…:), I enjoy your comments too mate.

DavidSA · 16/04/2018 at 18:58
I was the dog house 🙂

Terry · 16/04/2018 at 19:01
Damn, i enjoyed those 3 days

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 19:03
Me too Terry, was able to get all my Tax done, happy days mate!

gator59 · 16/04/2018 at 19:22
Hi Russty great that your back on deck mate or have you become the new Sicily… lol…. To good for me this week in Magnificent 7.. What a mare of a week

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 19:33
I was a temporary Sicily Gator, good to see you again too mate, don't lose heart over a shitey week, you'll bounce back, my motto is..you only need to make the top 8, to make the GF and then win it 🙂

gator59 · 16/04/2018 at 19:47
Yes that's right mate a long way to go yet so we'll keep trudging along

Swans2012 · 16/04/2018 at 19:27
Well said Russ, didnt see what went down but can imagine, flogs are everywhere these days even occasionally on here desecrating our sacred SuperCoach turf. Good to see you own and own up to your comments, both the right and wrong

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 19:36
Thanks Swans..appreciate it mate, I lost control and unleashed furious anger on some unhinged peeps hellbent on damaging our precious hub, and in the process, damaged it myself…I took the bait and became a flog, from now on, they won't get to me anymore.

Bert · 16/04/2018 at 21:50
once a flog always a flog rust balls

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 21:54
Thanks Bert, hope you have a great day tomorrow mate, and you get to the lunch-bar in time to get your favourite meal 🙂

Holty01 · 16/04/2018 at 19:31
All good Russty. It took everything in my power to probably not be in the same dog house as you. I had to create my own account to make sure people realized it wasnt me posting the nasty stuff on here.
Not sure of these peoples motives but lets hope we dont have the same problem anytime soon.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 19:43
Amen to that Holty, it was definitely a co-ordinated attack though…Mr Robot style…quite disturbing.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 21:44
Always better off to have a registered account Holty, a large part of what set me off so much was all the impersonating trolls of regular members.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 16/04/2018 at 19:48
Rust.
Just rise above it and just give your opinion on all things footy and SC.
Thats what I try to do.
Ignore the negativity and embrace the good guys in the community.
There r some great people on this site who give some sage like advice.
Listen but then make your own call.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 20:08
Thanks Trig, I will from here forward mate, won't let those petty people get to me again.

neil demons delight · 16/04/2018 at 19:55
Great to see you back mate Don't let them sucker you in. I could see they were getting to you but as you can see Russty from the responses people back your views . It's only a game cheers

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 20:09
Cheers Neil, yes it's only a game mate, and games are meant to be fun!…it's all fun from here on out, no matter what happens 🙂

hedski · 16/04/2018 at 20:00
I was hoping your sc team got suspended for the week too so I would have had another win…….na just kidding mate, I read that stuff before it was deleted, don't rise to the bait bud.
I'll seek revenge soon in another league 👍🍺

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 16/04/2018 at 20:02
Reckon i lost 5 leagurs this week by 15 points or under.
One of those weeks. 🙈

gator59 · 16/04/2018 at 20:18
Geez Trigga you smashed it getting 5 league wins compared to my paltry 1 with a score of 1992

hedski · 16/04/2018 at 20:35
Yeah I got Gator, Shake and Brownlow Boy by 20-30 points, really had no right to win, going shocking.

BrownlowBoy · 16/04/2018 at 21:11
I had a very very bad week. Didn't even manage 2000. I'd like to think I'm alright at Supercoach but last week just smashed me.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 21:46
It'll be much better next week BB, some weeks are just a write off.

hedski · 16/04/2018 at 22:31
I'm having my worst year since I started BB, can only get better.

gator59 · 16/04/2018 at 22:11
That's one week I never want to see again Hedski… Well played mate

hedski · 16/04/2018 at 22:32
I'm sure you'll get me back Gator, having a mare of a season.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 20:10
Sorry about smashing you this week mate, but you'll smash the hell out of me at some point soon I'm sure lol. My suspension was a wake up call so it's all good, probably what I needed.

hedski · 16/04/2018 at 20:40
Just like Siciflog, came back hard.
Think I'll vc Tobyflog this week against your saints mate.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 21:46
Could be a good call mate, I don't have a decent VC this week, except maybe Laird.

TOPHAWK1 · 16/04/2018 at 20:00
Good onya Russtyy! You deserve a lot of respect for that post.
You copped it on the chin and took it like a man. Looking forward to your posts, debates, and undoubtedly some good banter.
Cheers mate.
TH

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 20:12
Thanks Hawker, I'm happy to be back mate, and to be back with all such good teams in 10 different Leagues is awesome, it's gonna be hard to even make the 8 this year! 🙂

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 20:08
Good to have you back Russty. Any trades in the works this week?

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 20:19
Thanks Wow, was thinking …
Bonner to Coffield…have lost patience with Bonner, think he's a fail. and..
Liam Ryan to Mirra, will reverse if Mirra isn't named obviously but he looks ok.
Leaves me with 278k, swore off anymore Saints but….haha

Sc_Wow · 16/04/2018 at 20:38
I’ve managed to go bonner to Hurley. My team looks a lot better for it

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 20:42
Good trade right there!…failed breakout to proven premo…set and forget, like it!

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 20:15
Russty!!!!!! Glad your back buddy! Apart from my boy Wow you're my next favourite. You bring so much to the community, I was missing your absence. So welcome back again!

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 20:36
Thanks 66, was a low point for me but I had time to reflect on my reactions to certain people, good to be back mate and thumbs up to a fun season from here! 🙂

Whatyasmokin · 16/04/2018 at 21:10
Must've been a pretty nuts situation to get you that fired up, I don't think I've ever seen you even be a bit condescending or anything, let alone abuse lol.
Would be sad if people like you weren't contributing, cheers 😉

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 21:28
Thanks Smokin, yeah I got out of hand and unleashed some truly ugly insults, on a group of co-ordinated trolls, also, I had a go at some good people who I thought weren't doing enough to prevent or stop it, and they didn't deserve that, anyways, hopefully we can move on from here, I'm on late a bit so maybe most people don't see what was posted most of the time lol.

Crowboy94 · 16/04/2018 at 22:25
Good to see you back mate! Always appreciate your advice.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 22:31
Cheers Crowboy, you too mate, keep up the good work 🙂

JohnDJ59 · 17/04/2018 at 00:45
Hey Russty I'm a bit late to the party, but welcome back mate, it was a good thing that I decided to go to the 'Rat Pack' comments and saw your post, I usually just click on the 'Jolly Roger' one since that's a bit like here, a lot of chatter about our teams, trades and SC in general.It all worked out in the end, good thing I have a twitter account, so I could contact Lekdog, who was very good about it all.

Russty_ · 21/04/2018 at 20:47
Thanks JDJ, appreciate you going to bat for me mate, Happy to be back in and won't let the crap slingers get to me again.

Slurper · 17/04/2018 at 05:05
That’s why your slurping lost ya credibility pal

Russty_ · 21/04/2018 at 20:48
I guess it's easy to be a coward when you have no profile.

Derek · 17/04/2018 at 09:40
Cheers Russty,
Use that big beautiful brain of your for good and not evil.
I’m only here to talk about FOOTY.

Russty_ · 26/04/2018 at 02:13
You da man Derek, you never let the negative people get to you and that's a fine example mate..let's talk about Footy and Supercoach 🙂

Sandyf62 · 17/04/2018 at 19:31
Hey Russty good to see you are back, with the help of JohnDJ59 by the look of it, you will have to learn to curb your anger so it doesn't happen again, you are too valuable to this site to lose you again.Just help the people who are asking genuine questions and ignore the stirrers.

Russty_ · 21/04/2018 at 20:49
Thanks Sandy, yep I won't bother with the cowards anymore, they're not worth responding to.

DavidSA · 16/04/2018 at 19:07
Gray, Franklin, Heeney, McLean, Mundy, Kennedy(Eagles), top tier
Westhoff, Petracca, Taranto, Greene, Hogan, Walters, Wallace, Darling middle tier
Don't trust any Saints and Sicily only relevant in defence
Just my take, might have forgotten a couple candidates

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 16/04/2018 at 20:33
Pretty good list DSA.
Probably put Smith in there as well.
Fwd line top and middle tier not much between them in that not as big of gap as say top and middle tier mids as key fwds reliant on goals to score.

Sc_Wow · 17/04/2018 at 09:30
Billings started slow last year too, keen to see if he picks it up again. Knows how to get the footy

Baggy Pants · 17/04/2018 at 11:01
I not sure the Saints are the team they were last year I think they're going to struggle up forward.
And Billings cant do it all. You will be able to pick him up for under 400k soon the next 3 weeks for the Saints very tough.

David C · 17/04/2018 at 07:15
dpp makes him a good M9 F7 swing in your final team.

DavidSA · 16/04/2018 at 19:27
could go Armo to Petracca and then later swing Petracca to fwd line
Or do paint the fence for Coniglio who is still cheap enough at 529k

Adam · 16/04/2018 at 19:46
Got coniglio, what Jom or Taranto

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 20:43
JOM looked very good. He is a sneaky top 15 mid

Tyruddanaut · 16/04/2018 at 19:42
If you have any top 10 rookies except for Naughton or Coffield, number 2. Don't force yourself to go too early on rookies.
There are very few players under 450k which are exciting. Sicily, Geary and Lobb are the standouts, and they don't really stand out.
But you also shouldn't hold him. He won't score as good as your midfield rookies and won't plump up in price.
Downgrade and wait for an extra rookie to plump up to upgrade.

Adam · 16/04/2018 at 19:47
Got all the good rookies pretty sure and Naughton
Hmmmm dunno what to do

Multi_ · 16/04/2018 at 20:46
Just for a little info Arma was best on ground in the VFL on the weekend I reckon he might be back this week

Duckky · 16/04/2018 at 20:59
At Essendon, we have a number of VFL superstars who cannot cut the mustard at AFL… Jerrett anyone?
I cut my losses with Armo, too expensive to leave on the bench. Too unreliable on the ground.

adam · 17/04/2018 at 06:16
That’s good to hear but he just ain’t pumping those big scores, so he’s gunna go, I’ll downgrade Brayshaw to who tho ?

Pranav Santhosh · 16/04/2018 at 19:49
and nick holman how could i forget him

Marty · 16/04/2018 at 20:00
How much cash do you have? You don't want to bottom out 🙂

Bottom · 16/04/2018 at 22:44
100k

David C · 17/04/2018 at 07:11
Venables probably needs to go or you will have no cover in the forwards.

Bottom · 17/04/2018 at 13:02
Yeah just heard the news…

Bottom · 17/04/2018 at 13:23
Have gone:
Venables -> Coffield via garlett swing

Marty · 16/04/2018 at 19:58
Tough choice. Coffield looks a solid 60+ performer but his higher price makes him less attractive. Mirra and Guelfi looked great but their JS not as good. Depends whether you can afford to take the risk. I'd rather have the JS and swing with Finlayson.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 16/04/2018 at 19:54
Mate.
Reckon the cogs boat has sailed unless u see him as as keeper

Holty01 · 16/04/2018 at 20:01
Agreed

gator59 · 16/04/2018 at 20:04
Pretty hard to ignore a bloke that's averaging 122, Trigga… I had doubts about him pre season but has proved a lot of coaches wrong including me

TommyC99 · 16/04/2018 at 20:02
I also reckon i'll hold Kruez, although Nic Nat could use him as a step ladder this week

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 20:38
Wish I had started with cogs mate, went with shitfield instead, missed the boat on that one, I might be able to pick him up later in the season if he drops in form at some point, at least we all know what he's capable of now.

paul · 16/04/2018 at 20:36
Out for Macrae this week .

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 16/04/2018 at 20:37
Appreciate the heads up.
Will watch with interest this week
Groins are always a worry as those type of injuries tend to linger

Keenbutclueless · 16/04/2018 at 20:43
To be honest, your advice was a big factor in my decision to trade him out. I brought in Gray, so extremely happy in week one. If it continues to go well, I will definitely have you to thank. I feel like it has turned around an otherwise sh$$ season
We are all responsible for our own decisions here. What we listen to on this site and what we ignore is all up to the individual. So no whacks if it goes pear-shaped.

TommyC99 · 16/04/2018 at 20:59
Same mate. Also traded him out after seeing 66's post. Traded him to Dusty so quite happy so far!

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 22:46
No worries boys! Here to help! By the time he gets 'right' I think you can benefit better points wise with the right trade!

Derek · 17/04/2018 at 09:36
I have $125k. One trade Kelly to Danger.

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 21:25
I don’t mind him missing one or even two games, as long as the rest gets him right and fit again.

hedski · 16/04/2018 at 22:37
Yeah I'm holding him Derek, l think they'll rest him against the saints this week to get him right.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 22:47
Why wouldn't ya if you were the coach?…rest half the team and they'll still beat the Saints hahahhaha

Slurper · 17/04/2018 at 05:08
Not under wraps is the fact that you and your boyfriend are absolute tossers and the vast majority of the Jock Community hate your guts pity Rusty didn’t have mall balls to call you out you peasants.

SC_Sixty6 · 17/04/2018 at 10:11
Hey Slurp the durp! Had a bad week in SC? All good mate there is always next week!

Holty01 · 16/04/2018 at 20:43
I dont have him either but its not easy bringing in a $650k player. You will either have to sideways trade or use a lot of trades. Dont get me wrong, im excited he will be cheap but not excited of what i might have to do to bring him in.

paul · 16/04/2018 at 20:45
Saved 350 plus i think he may drop to around 630.

Holty01 · 16/04/2018 at 20:47
Nice. If you are going for league thats perfect.

paul · 16/04/2018 at 20:50
Not sure why he is not playing at 150 but I really get the feeling he will take off anytime but he will drop more first with a break even of 209.

Tibor · 16/04/2018 at 21:03
One more week from Bonner then get Mirra on the bubble. Have a look at current price on JOM and his break even also in negative territory. Danger has 209 break even.
It isn't done till it's done but this is a strong chance next week. Might need a little from the bank was keeping in the get Danger fund but maybe not

paul · 17/04/2018 at 12:05
Yes it's a bit like will I get danger in with my danger fund now or use the cash to improve other areas.I think we should wait another week or two as Russty says it's a long season.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 20:49
Could've easily gone the other way too paul, you could've been 500 points behind everyone else who started Danger.
Who would you be trading out to get him in btw?

Davo · 16/04/2018 at 21:01
Parts of this game is pure luck, could not have been 100% sure which way Dangerfield would start this season.

Tibor · 16/04/2018 at 21:07
These things always just go one way or the other. Perfectly reasonable to say I'm not paying 750 for a bloke missing round 1 with a hammy. Some just had to have him and fair enough but it really just shows there are different ways to play the game and still do ok

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 21:12
True dat Tibor, I started with 2300 and 2400 starting with Danger, I just preferred not to have to get him in later, he's been disappointing for sure, but will come good. 🙂

Tibor · 16/04/2018 at 21:19
Chances are you simply must have him at some point but it's a risk either way. Hammy could have gone bang but he might have gone berserk and been impossible to get later. Looking good now for next week but anything could happen this week to twist it all around again

paul · 16/04/2018 at 21:09
Yes Rusty Rusty but it did not turn out that way.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 21:12
Tis all good paul, it's a looooong season bud.

paul · 16/04/2018 at 21:32
That it is but little gains bigger the bonuses.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 16/04/2018 at 21:31
Bit of horses for courses i guess.
If you didnt start danger would have given you the cash to beef up a premo on another line.
Kruez or Hibberd or Billings for example.
These 3 are being bandied around as top trade out targets this week …..

Whatyasmokin · 16/04/2018 at 21:24
Hold I reckon.

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 23:11
I have a feeling we won’t see Fritsch name on Thursday team sheet. Heads will roll after last week and he didn’t look good enough.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 21:30
Hey Aurora, I think it might be worth it if Barry isn't named because Coffield can still make some good money and has pretty good JS being in Stkilda and all.
The dpp swing is a bonus too.

AuroraBorealis?! · 16/04/2018 at 21:48
Thanks rusty, will take it into consideration over the week.

Derek · 16/04/2018 at 23:08
I ponder this question a lot.
What is a trade worth?
Old Ocker thinks $175k is about the number. I might put it closer to $200k

AuroraBorealis?! · 17/04/2018 at 11:05
I think the trade is not worth it, may look at trading to guelfi or mirra next week.

Ricardo · 17/04/2018 at 12:10
With Roberton missing a few weeks, Coffield's spot in the side is guaranteed for a while.

TOPHAWK1 · 16/04/2018 at 22:27
Agreed. Time to chill and reload.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 21:52
Same here James, I'd like to know who he is too, and will he go straight out again when O'Connor the biter comes back in?

JJames · 16/04/2018 at 22:07
O'Connor was looking the goods too, guess we will find out this Thursday night wont we haha

Post_MaSloane · 16/04/2018 at 21:56
As a bombers supporter, I reckon he's really promising and will hold his spot. His score didn't really justify his impact because he had tons of pressure acts and 1%ers
See how he goes Next Week but I rate him!

JJames · 16/04/2018 at 22:09
Bloody brilliant! thanks heaps Post MaSloane, Sounds like a good option so far then lets just wait and see firstly IF he holds his position and then IF he performs again

fcabel · 16/04/2018 at 22:08
Agree. His effort was huge. Must have impressed

JJames · 16/04/2018 at 22:11
Thanks fcabel, hopefully Worsfold doesn't end up dropping him because i'm in need of some quick cash!

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 16/04/2018 at 22:27
Think i am happy to wait for ahern who should debut this week
Give the cows a bit more time to moo

JJames · 16/04/2018 at 22:30
hahahaha I like that one, as a big North fan I hope Ahern does get a gig finally, reeks of talent and should be a very good cash cow

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 16/04/2018 at 22:42
Bog in the reserves on the weekend

No need to ask bombers supporters mate. Why not ask the community? At least then you know it won't be biased.

JJames · 16/04/2018 at 22:32
Very true just thought the bomber fans would've watched the game closely and maybe know a bit more then a north fan or a collingwood fan because personally, didn't even know there was a bloke called Matt Guefli playing footy

Dice_real · 17/04/2018 at 08:43
Woosha very happy with his pressure which is a good sign.
My guess is he will stay in, for a few more weeks. I thought he was very good.
Should avg around the 70s

Sc_Wow · 17/04/2018 at 09:29
They love him down at the club.

JJames · 16/04/2018 at 22:15
For me, Buddy from the start was a must have and so far it looks like even his "bad games" are in the 80-90 point region, love Buddy as a footballer and as a supercoach player, VC for this Friday night backing him in for a big one.
But then it also depends on who you are trading, if its billings, I and I would recommend this to everyone, HOLD BILLINGS

fcabel · 16/04/2018 at 22:20
Cheers JJ. Id be upgrading Zak Fisher. Regret not starting Bud. Thought he would drop in price and be a first upgrade. His scoring has been great in tough games. Thinking hes about to go huge for a few months.

JJames · 16/04/2018 at 22:28
No worries, almost definite top 6 Foward and to me it looks like a solid trade, good luck anyway mate, for your and my sake, lets hope buddy goes bang this week

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 22:38
Hi Donk, you might have to wait on Guelfi to see if he can keep his spot, Sinclair might've turned a corner and could be a legitimate top ruck pick this year, he seems to have risen to the task.
I think Cox has to go regardless unfortunately but he just hasn't worked out.
You need 2 solid rucks in there, maybe even Nicnat?

paul · 17/04/2018 at 06:11
Nicnat 92 TOG 56 mins each game still ? . May take off second half of the season. I must say tho i was very impressed with Grundy's work as I am a pieman too.Love the way he covers the ground like a midfielder racking up 20 plus each game.I feel he will maintain this all year if he keeps fit.

SC_Sixty6 · 16/04/2018 at 22:39
I personally wouldn't get Gray now, I'd wait after rd 10 bye. Purely because I had him after his suspension with the idea in my mind that if he were to bang out hundreds which he has done it's a great pickup even when you have to cover for him in rd 10. Picking him up now you get 5 rounds with him and in that time upgrade enough to cover him……if anyone were to look at gray which alot are
Also with the essendon rookie and mirra I will go early on one of them to get cash ready to upgrade for next few weeks.

SC_Donkey · 16/04/2018 at 22:49
Will probably hold off on Gray, will be nice to have him in just before the main byes. It's what I'm doing this week to go early on either Guelfi or Mirra. Giving Taylor one more week, if he doesn't turn it around this week hope to move him on to whoever I don't get this round out of Hurley or Sinclair, Billings is in my watch list in two weeks or so.

Russty_ · 16/04/2018 at 22:52
May as well get Kent in too….don't do it mate, it's like betting your last money in the world on a 100 to 1 shot.

Whatyasmokin · 17/04/2018 at 01:26
To be fair hes up and coming, was previously starved of opportunity possibly? Honestly havent done any research on him myself.

paul · 17/04/2018 at 05:58
Raw and 19 however he is taking points from Danger man so its a 50/50

LUKE · 16/04/2018 at 22:59
Clark Kent doesn't make the cut

JohnDJ59 · 17/04/2018 at 01:13
Hi Oliver,looking at your fwds you really do need a upgrade, so you only have two rookies on field, I like Greene & Buddy at the moment, plus both should end up in the top eight fwds for the year.

Whatyasmokin · 17/04/2018 at 01:22
Buddy. Cant trust Greene. Mundy's output when big sandi is out will be affected. Note the word 'when' was used instead of 'if'

r_calve · 17/04/2018 at 16:36
iff you have garrlett in the forward line, you should downgrade brayshaw to guelfi and move garlett to mid or if you have coffeild in the midfeild you can do the same with david mirra

Big G · 17/04/2018 at 10:18
An interesting thing I noted is that during the game when Ablett was injured, he was sitting on 100 at 3/4 time and then went backwards to 92 for simply sitting in the change rooms. There might be somesort of scalling system in the last quarter going on with Champion Data that we do not know about.

Derek · 17/04/2018 at 11:52
it has to do with the max 3300 points.
Heeney gets the kick that sets up the last goal. he jumped from 90 to 120. Mills who made the final clearing kick jumped from 59 to 84. Those points have to be taken from someone else. Parker went from 102 to 94 just becase he didn't do anything in the last min of the game.

Tibor · 17/04/2018 at 12:08
I didn't see the game did he rest in the last quarter. Are they managing him. Is that hammy 100% or is it a bit risky once they have to use him to fight a game right out.

Derek · 17/04/2018 at 14:10
i looked at the cats draw and saw they have Port (away), Swans and GWS.
After that they had Collingwood, Essendon, carlton, Suns, & North. few easy ones there.
I thought that getting danger in after the 3 hard games and before the run of easy games was the obvious thing to do.
however, as 66 pointed out, he seems to play better against the harder team as if he has to.
this might have been the case against Saints. game was won, rest time.

gator59 · 17/04/2018 at 16:48
I did see him having his right calf being bandaged at sometime during the game Derek

Derek · 17/04/2018 at 16:56
that is interesting

David C · 18/04/2018 at 06:37
Same as Dusty. He just cruises against the weaker teams. He only scored well against Brisbane because he snagged 6 goals.

fcabel · 17/04/2018 at 17:11
A couple of things noticed. He butchered the ball more than usual. Once the game was won they pushed him forward more. Stats were good. Don't think there is anything to worry about. Next week more likely a game for him to shine.

David C · 18/04/2018 at 06:34
Luxury trade, only if you've used 3 or less trades. As soon as you trade him he'll start tonning up.

Sandyf62 · 17/04/2018 at 19:55
Yes it is a silly thought,you either started with him or you didn't,the ones who started with him have to keep him,you knew he would drop in value, the ones who didn't, have the choice to ether get him in a few weeks time when his price has hit the bottom or not get him in at all going on his form.By the way, I started with him to save a trade, which is good since I have used too many already due to, two injury trades ,three corrective trades,one upgrade and one downgrade, so seven in all, two more than I was hoping at this stage.
