Round 11 SuperCoach Panic Room
Wow! I like these bye round thingy’s
(do do do do, do, do do, dooooo)
My highest score for the year paled in comparison to some absolutely monster efforts over the weekend. A few 2600+ scores were doing the rounds on Twitter. Our own cheat sheet extraordinaire, Damo, is now breathing down Patch’s neck challenging him for office supremacy. Patch doesn’t like this, not at all, and has “promoted” Damo to the basement where he’ll be “head bee guy” for the week.
We’re back to normal proceedings this week with all 18 teams lining up before the storm takes hold. Before you go looking into trading in your Gaff’s, Simpson’s, McLean’s etc this week, players from Carlton, Hawthorn, West Coast, and Western Bulldogs have the week off next week. Check your team balance to make sure you’re not setting yourself up for disaster.
We’re in the awkward position this week of having rookies, fallen premo’s and post-bye players to target and there’s not enough trades to do what we want. Whack in the earbuds and let Lek and Patch unpack our options this week in the podcast. Barron once again provides us with awesome rookie analysis in the around the grounds article. Captain McCaptainface is still alive (???) for some reason and Damo gives us his first post bye cheat sheet right here.
THE NEWS
More Friday night gold this week as Carlton will once again grace our screens. In the lead up to this match the big news was the return of Jack Silvagni, which should give you an idea of the excitement levels surrounding this match. The Swans are giving Tom Papley a rest and leaving out Tom McCartin for Gary Rohan and Nic Newman. Harry McKay is the one to make way for Silvagni.
The Dees will go in unchanged tomorrow against the Dogs, who are welcoming back Dale Morris. Dave Mirra is out again for Hawthorn’s match against Port, as is Mitch Lewis. Port have named an unchanged lineup after returning from China. The Suns have done the opposite and gone bang! Jack Martin, Tom Lynch, and Sam Day will come in to the side. As will Will Brodie! (MID – 187.7k) I guarantee you had this guy in your preseason team so we get a few weeks to look at him before jumping on. Jarryd Lyons is one of the more higher profile names to make way, and bad news if you jumped on Brayden Crossley, he’s been omitted. The Cats have named the man with all the hair, Wylie Buzza, as Esava’s replacement. Lachie Fogarty gets another go. Luke Shuey is back for the Eagles but they’ve given Dom Sheed a rest for their game against the Saints. I wondered what all the expletives coming from Patch’s office were about, he’s been on the blower again to Richo to give his boy Rowan “My boat” Marshall another crack. Luke Dunstan is out injured. Michael Hurley is in for the Dons and Dylan Grimes for the Tiges for the Dreamtime at the G game.
Big news on Sunday, Paul Ahern (MID / FWD – 123.9k) will play! I’ve been tracking this guy since he was drafted in 1924 or whatever, the bloke has had a terrible run with injury and if he has any sense he’ll wrap himself in cotton wool until game day. There’s also a possible debut for Tom Murphy (DEF / MID – 124.9k). Ryan Clarke is their only confirmed out. For the Lions, they’ve added some names that are pretty meh, Matt Eagles is out. Jeremy Howe is out injured and my team is in disarray as the Pies host Freo, a lot of us are feeling it!
Jeremy Howe out makes me want to snap my phone and put my remote through my TV. I can’t take a trick this year #Supercoach

The Pies have lost Ben Reid and Travis Varcoe as well to injury. Brody Mihocek (DEF – 102.4k) has been confirmed to debut by Bucks. If he plays next week the Pies have the round 13 bye, he could be a perfect round 14 downgrade option. Sam Murray is on an extended bench. Michael Apeness and Scott Jones (RUC – 117.3k) have been named by Ross to cover the loss of Sandi. Taylin Duman has been named on field and Mitchell Crowden on an extended bench. Stefan Giro (MID – 102.4k) gets named on an extended bench for the second consecutive week. The Seed is back for the Crows and Lachie Murphy is on an extended bench for the last games of the round. The Giants have named two new faces; Sam Taylor (DEF – 117.3k) and Brent Daniels (FWD / MID – 117.3k). Tim Mohr is the only confirmed out.
THE HOUSE OF EVIL
Tim Smith has a frankly ridiculous breakeven of -118 this week. He’s going to make bucketloads of cash very, very quickly. If you want him, move this week because he’ll be around the 200k mark after this weekend. Elsewhere we’ve got Ridley and Rice as defensive downgrade options. A few backline injuries at the Bombers has strengthened Ridley’s job security, but I don’t see an awful lot between the two so it may come down to a bye structure as to who suits you best.
These guys come with a free frogurt (that’s good!)
-118 – Tim Smith*
-51 – Jordan Ridley*
-49 – Bailey Rice*
-5 – Pat Kerr*
19 – Dylan Buckley
These premiums contain potassium benzoate (that’s bad!)
172 – Luke Shuey
170 – Bont
164 – Gaz
160 – Maxwell Gawndog
157 – Jackson Macrae
154 – Clayton Oliver
154 – Josh Kelly
151 – Lachie Neale
149 – Michael Hurley
147 – James Sicily
136 – Tim Kelly
SMOOTH KEVY’S LOCK OF THE WEEK
The percentage play this week is to target Port and Gold Coast players coming off their bye. Gold Coast don’t have anyone averaging north of 100 points this year. Aaron Hall has scored 110 and 137 in his past two games and could be a sneaky POD, but his mid-only status kinda puts me off that idea.
Port have a few more solid targets. Robert the Gray is averaging 110 this year but his breakeven of 136 this week means you can potentially wait a week or two. Just about every SuperCoacher in the land has a “I got burned by Tom Rockliff” story, he’s not a bad pick, but Damo had some good advice on him in this weeks cheat sheet. “Don’t let him complete your midfield”.
That leaves The Hoff. Boasting MID / FWD status this year, Westhoff is averaging 107 this year with two games of 140+ and no score under 82. Paddy Ryder continues to be managed with his Achilles injury. Excluding the round 1 game when Ryder was hurt, in the games they’ve played together Westhoff has scored 85, 116, and 89.
Westhoff could be a handy F6 with a high ceiling and dependable floor. Along with 3 rounds of coverage during the byes.
HEY NOW, YOU’RE A DRAFTSTAR
Draftstars has a shiny new look but nothing has changed under the hood. The scoring system is still the same. You’ll need to download an app update to continue playing, the online site is good to go. Essendon v Richmond is the crown jewel of Indigenous Round, our mates at Fantasy Insider have cast their critical eye over the matchup and given us this ideal lineup:
My take:
Bit pushed for time this week so I’ll give a quick take on the game. Bachar Houli is a huge out for the Tiges, and Essendon generally struggle to contain running backs. Jayden Short, Connor Menadue, Nathan Broad, and Nick Vlastuin will need to step up and are all good plays here.
Pay up for Nank. Belly offers nothing around the ground. Hitouts to advantage count for diddly squat in Draftstars. His 119SC last week was worth just 63DS
Floggard loves a Dreamtime. His last three Dreamtime games? 99, 134, 104.
Dusty also loves this clash. His last three have been 133, 123, 107.
Essendon have let a few MID / FWD’s get off the chain this year. Josh Caddy is in great touch but on the expensive side. Shane Edwards could be worthy of a punt.
Dev Smith hasn’t scored below 91DS for 7 weeks.
Bit of backline carnage around this week so best of luck to you all. Last week before the byes begin in earnest so my advice would be set yourself up the best you can this week. Cop a donut or two.
I’ve gone Higgins to Smith
And Kelly to Gaff completes my mids
Just a fwd rook and 1 in def to upgrade
Leaves 14 trades 133k
Thoughts please
Like it!
That’s awesome, Adam. Worst case scenario is painting the fence for your last upgrades leaving you with a full premo team and 10 trades. Great position to be in
Bloody cheers for the feed back puts me at ease
Byes look like 7. 10. 10
Is it worth getting Fritsch out for English?
Yeah, nah. English is injured mate
Oops, meant Smith.
Got names confused
The Smith part is good, but does it have to be Fritsch? He's got 2 more good weeks left in him
Some injury repairs this week… Hurn in for Mills and Walters for Deledio.
Hi Kev, good to have the room open now I can panic in the right place!
What's your thoughts on the bargains this week? Walters, Rockliff & Brayshaw?
G’day Jack. Walters the pick of the bunch for mine but comes with the crappy bye.
Prefer Rocky over Brayshaw, but I also don’t see Rocky lasting another 3 months without something on his body getting injured
Big match up this week against SW Rooster 🐓
Although Rooster has gone missing I’m sure everyone will be keen to see how his all defence rookie strategy is paying off
Any other big match ups in your leagues this week community?
Ive got gator twice
And he has buddy tonight against the blues.
Could be errr yibbitah yibbitah thats all folks after one game.
I've got Hedski in the Magnificent 7 and he got 2516 last week….gulp…
Ive got Hedski aswell in 2 leagues and tophawk in another. Hope they are both looking fwd to another great challenge!
Bring it on Shaker, glad I'm not holding up the bottom rungs in Cazaly this year!!!
Definitely! I think its 5th v 6th!
Nice, I thought that was your team Ranger, not sure I'll squeeze out that kinda score again for a while.
Got some other doozies this week, play Shake (twice), INP, Derek's Bunnies and Defying Madness for the second week in a row (he got me by 60 points last week).
Good luck all 👍🍺
Last week was a huge week for both of us and a ripping contest.
Interested to see if my premos can back it up again.
Will be a close contest regardless
Good luck mate
You too bud, let's crack 2500 again ay?? Here's hoping.
glad I don't play you NDD
You've had the wood on me for a while Neil, we'll be at it again soon enough 👍
I thought I was up against you Trigga in The Rat Pack .. it’s big for me (11th), but maybe not for Trig (2nd)
I've got Pieman, Neil, Derek twice and Tophawks. Good luck fellas, you won't need it though lol
Sleeping dogs????!
Nailed the do doos Kev. Anyone who doesn't appreciate that is basically a clam.
Spent way too much time counting out the proper amount of do’s, BF. I strive for accuracy (and Patch beats me when I make a mistake)
Jordan "the riddler" Ridley.
Riddle me this:
If i take a heron will it help to solider on or am i more likely to lay down and have a rest?
If i like fried rice will it be fulfilling or am man with chopsticks drop fried rice and swept out door?
Option 3 Trigga. Def Option 3.
Have you ever had a bad fried rice experience, Trig? It’s the Bunnings sausage of Chinese food. Can’t go wrong
I am a fan of riddles
The sad thing is I now cannot bring myself to trade Billings. It's like I'm addicted to the anticipation of the slim slim chance he'll put up a half decent score. Why cant i quit you!!!!!!
He's at Winx odds to go sub 50 against the Eagles at home tomorrow.
I feel the same Rick.
Although there has been no real evidence to support it, he surely must get going soon enough.
Why can't Richo just chuck him in the guts to get him going.
Upgrade him to a rookie Rick
Billings – Smith. Do it Rick.
How much is billings now? Swap to Walters
Yeah I would be upgrading him to Walters or upgrading him to T Smith
Looking for some suggestions on my current team
DEF: Yeo, Simpson, Laird, Sicily, Ryan, Finlayson (Mirra, Murphy)
MID: Fyfe, Cripps, Titch, Oliver, Cogs, Dusty, Zerret, Holman (Barry, Spargo, Phillips)
RUCK: Grundy, Gawn (Olango)
FOR: McLean, Menegola, Heeney, Smith, Fritsch, Keefe (Guelfi, Smith)
Sitting on 14 trades,10k in the bank and ranked around 4.5k.
Will be targeting the following players: Hurley, Danger, Walters and a Port player. Zerret might become Macrae after the bye depending on circumstances.
Obviously this is the week to get Walters, Finlayson will become Ridley but then the question becomes who goes up? Was set on Fritsch for most of the week but now I have started second guessing. Could get rid of one of the other donuts down back.
Cheers for any advice community.
Tough call, DM. As you’ve flagged Zerrett to make way for Macrae eventually, turn him into Walters this week and in a few weeks when Fritsch has made more cash you can DPP trade him
Merret to Macrae wasn't a guarantee though, was only going to happen if Merret doesn't improve and if Macrae drops in price. Feel like Merret has played well over the last couple of weeks. Scored the 89 last week but his low DE and clangers let him down. Also has a low BE. Will always be susceptible to the tag which is a worry though so maybe I should flick him.
Cheers Kev
coniglio to macrae
nice joke
what should I do with JJ?
Get rid of him. No where near top 6. Have a look at Jonas. Bye free & consistent. Only 60k to get to him
I would trade him to Tuohy or paint the fence with him down to Ridley and someone else up to a premo mate
Hey guys, Howe out causes me issues as I only have L. Murphy and O’Connor on DEF bench. Should I
1. Trade T. Kelly to Ridley via O’Connor DPP and ZGL to T. Smith (Forces me to play either E. Phillips or A. Brayshaw on field this week)
2. Trade T. Kelly to T. Smith via Spargo DPP and A. Brayshaw to Westhoff/Cripps/any mid 600k or less (Forces me to cop a donut in DEF if L. Murphy doesn’t play)
Cheers guys, sitting at about 3.5k overall and 20 trades in the kitty
Like that rank, TBone. Congrats. If you were further back I’d say cop the donut, but go option one for a full team on the park if Murphy doesn’t make the cut
Murphy named on bench, murray emergency
Is T.smith a must? I can get 2 of boak gray rocky or the hoff n cruise through the byes If I pass on smith. But he seems good value and JS is solid. It’d be ZGL down to him
Get Rocky and Smith this week. Can still grab the Hoff next week.
204k in the bank. Suggested trades please.
Yeo, Laird, Sicily, Simpson, Hibberd, Doedee, Murray, Murphy
Dangerfield, Fyfe, Oliver, Mitchell, Coniglio, Heeney, T.Kelly, Higgins, Brayshaw, Phillips, Barry
Gawn, Nankervis, Olango
Gray, Smith, Walters, Billings, Fritsch, Ronke, Langdon, Spargo
Thinking Kelly and Brayshaw/Langdon to Westhoff and Smith?
Those trades sound good to me
Solid trades, could double downgrade and get rid of Kelly and Murray if you wanted to. Brayshaw/Langdon could make a bit more cash.
Field Phillips, Holman or Spargo this week? Playing my Dad so a win is a MUST lol.
Any other options??
Phillips still cash to make
Spargo good loop with fwd/mid very handy during byes
Holman had his bye. As u held him be crazy to trade him now as will be great cover 3 rds of byes.
I assume u want to bring in Smirh?.
Misreading me bud. Appreciate taking the time!
I mean who to play for M8!
Won't be trading any of them yet!
My bad.
Holman
thoughts on jimmy Webster?
🔒
Got him last week, racked up the ball. Not sure if he is worth the risk at $540k, would rather Lloyd if you are paying that amount of coin
Got him last week ahead of Lloyd as he is more consistent (only 2 scores under a 100) and was and was and still is a great POD being in only 4% of teams. Get him in.
Ahern to debut.
Jones to debut for Freo as well.
and giro
Nice . Need some mid rookies.
Murphy is in!!!!
Nice. I was looking at trading Duman or Murphy to Rice or Ridley.. but might just hold off a week since they're both playing. Austin or Heron as downgrade options next week.
Burning one of Mirra or Murphy this week to bring in Ridley, should I cash in Mirra given he's not playing (despite both having low BEs)?
murphy and duman come back in the week before I trade them out, yesssss needed extra cash.
Thanks again Kev, panic has subsided now Murphy is named, can stick to the plan.
ok need to name on of these three – murphy, duman, appleby
and one of these three – billings, tim smith, goofy
suggestions and reasons would be greatly appreciated
Billings and Murphy
or two of billings, tim smith, goofy, fritsch
Billings and Guelfi or Smith
Who do I trade in for Kelly this week? I can afford any Mid or Fwd using DPP
Gaff POD
Danger for me.
Depends who you dont have… id be going the best averaging mid that you dont currently have
Ended up going Danger
Good move. He loves playing Suns avg is high around 120 and has just hit some decent form. Might be worth chucking the VC or C on him.
I can’t decide between Gray (likely to be cheaper next week) and Dusty (bottomed out)
Not Cripps.
Should i go Coffield to Rice or J Higgins to Rice and then
Should i go Giles Langdon to Boak or Westhoff or Walters or someone OR
Should i do Fristch Instead to Westhoff or Boak OR Last option
Giles Langdon or Fristch to T Smith
Thoughts please
Option 1: Fritsch to Walters
Option 2: Billings to Walters
Option 3: Fritsch to Boak
Option 4: Billings to Boak.
Thank you
Billings to Walter's but I wouldn't do any of those
I'm going Henry to Smith & Billings to Walters
Glad I got the ins and outs wrong for the Crows. Murphy owners rejoice! I wonder who kept him? Let's hope he has a blinder for ca$h generation.
Reversed my trades put it that way
Is Walters a good player to bring in this week? (What are his pros and cons)
For people that aren't bringing him in, what is their reason for doing so?
Pro's
* will play midfield in a team that doesn't have much midfield depth
*If fit should average close to 100
Cons:
*Had a knee injury that will probably be ongoing all season
I was all over him up until 24 hrs ago, but now I'm worried that Freo won't make the 8 so might send him away early (during SC finals) to have surgery on his knee so he can start pre season with team
I'm taking Buddy instead. Understand he has his injury concerns too but his team is in the 8
Good player to bring in, just double downgrading this week myself. Will see how he goes this week. If he scores around 90, only goes up about $25k.
I reckon he will be a top 6 fwd. Had him, traded him when he did his knee. Brought him back in this week, low break even. Risk, but scores well when going through the mids.
Awesome player.
Reasons I cant bring him in – his knee and bye.
Agree with Loop.
Such a tough week for trades I'm torn between
Walters/Smith for Langdon/Kelly (336k in bank) or
Fyfe/Smith for wallis/Kelly (118k in bank)
Is getting fyfe a must, will end up costing me an extra one or 2 trades in long run will have 13 trades left after 2 this week.
2 option
Who do we reckon is more likely to get a game throughout the byes, Barry or Findlayson? Other will be culled this week
FInny
JJK or Rocky a higher priority this week? JJK playing saints so should go off but he also has the bye next week
JJK IS strugling
Rockliff
Looks like there is a changing of the guard at the Eagles, so Rocky he is not necessarily a priority though
Should i go Coffield to Rice or J Higgins to Rice and then
Should i go Giles Langdon to Boak or Westhoff or Walters or someone OR
Should i do Fristch Instead to Westhoff or Boak OR Last option
Giles Langdon or Fristch to T Smith
Hi guys,
Laird, Sicily, Simpson, Ryan, Lloyd, Murphy (Mirra, Keeffe)
Macrae, Fyfe, Oliver, Mitchell, Cripps, Neale, Coniglio, T.Kelly (Holman, Phillips, Barry)
Gawn, Naitanui (Olango)
McLean, Smith, Walters, Heeney, Hogan, Fritsch, (Guelfi, Spargo)
$47k in the bank
Possible trades
T. Kelly > Danger
T. Fritsch > Smith
Kelly > Smith (via Spargo)
Spargo > Yeo (via Keeffe and Walters)
I guess my question is, will Yeo and Fritsch score more than than Danger and Murphy?
Current team
Hurley Simpson Tuohy Richards doedee Ridley (duman Keefe)
Macrae danger Mitchell Olivier bont jpk dusty Kelly (Holman, Barry, spargo)
Grundy gawn (English)
McLean heeney mundy boak Wallis fitsch (Langdon Henry)
15 trades left thinking this week either
Walter/Smith for Langdon/Kelly leaving 336k in bank or
Fyfe/Smith for wallis/Kelly
Gonna be trading down one maybe two next week to bring in yep an Sicily into backline after there bye rounds
Yeo*
Should i get mclean this week and pass walters this week?
Thoughts on these trades
Higgins and Kelly to Walters and Smith
Higgins or Spargo or Phillips on field?
Am thinking of bringing in Smith and one of Jonas, Rockliff or Walters for Kelly and Venables.
I'm leaning towards a defender as Howe being injured could cause a donut and Jonas in particular as he will help during the byes.
If Lachlan Murphy plays though, then I'll probably go with rocky as the value there could be insane. BUT I could also swing Spargo into the mids and bring in Walters instead.
Any suggestions? When are the sunday teams confirmed?
Murphy is playing so I can leave Howe on the bench and still have 6 onfield back there now. I am going Kelly to Rocky. He is improving with every week that passes. It has taken him some time to find his new role at Port Adelaide, and should be nice and fresh after his bye. A player with a ceiling of 200 which is priced at $374K is incredible value. If he stays fit, I am confident he will be pumping out tonnes again. If he breaks down, well it wont ruin my season by any stretch. The upside is just huge!
Is Walters a must get this week?
Lads seriously need some fast opinions! Got a mate getting me for baby head wetting in 45 mins!
Murphy named has stumped me.
Playing my Dad this weekend. MUST WIN!
Yeo on field or Murphy
Walters or Smith
Basically I'm either getting Yeo in this week meaning Murphy is an emergency.
OR
Walters on field and Smith sits on bench. The Demons smith I mean to be clear too!
I'm leaning towards Yeo & Smith over Murphy & Walters?
Yeo and Smith seems much safer
YEO A GUN
Walters or Buddy
Walters. Buddy too inconsistent.
Ridley or Rice?
Ridley slightly ahead of Rice IMO. With Coffield and Carlisle to return, he could be dropped. Ridley appears to have better JS, and has kept his place even with Hurley back this week. Rice has the nasty round 14 bye whilst Ridley has his bye in round 13. Good luck mate.
I actually think rice has better job security. I think ridley will be lucky to stay in the team too much longer
Even with Ambrose out?
Who in your opinion who has the best security ? Ridley, Rice, Heron or Logan. Don't care about the byes. I Can wait till next week for Heron or Logan as I'm trading out Murray and don't think he'll play even though he's an emergency. Thanks for your thoughts, cheers.
rice
Hurley / Simpson / Yeo / Brayshaw…best option?
I’m forced to get a back so I don’t have to play one of Richards or Murphy on field
toss up between yeo and simmo i'd prob go simmo, both will be top 6
Id go yeo mate. Not much difference between him and simpson though!
Except $50k
Thanks fellas. Going simmo
Just about my whole squad is playing this week which is a nice change but it's stuffed up my planned Gawn VC into Grundy Captain option as I have no players I can now loophole other than Garlett and Barry who play before or at the same time that Gawn plays. I will make Cripps VC tonight but I'm stumped who to put the C on, Gawn or Grundy? Max is killing it this year but with no Sandilands playing Grundy could go massive against Freo. Who do the community think is a safer bet for Captain?
In the same boat mate, i reckon gawn goes big this week against the dogs. Hope so anyway!
Dogs don't really have a Ruckman either so 50-50 call really, I'm going Grundy just on form.
Thankfully I dodged that bullet by reversing my trades and traded Barry rather than Crowden who I can now loophole as he is in on Freo's Emergency List for Sunday. Gawn into Grundy now!
Good plan Pman
Call me crazy but I have 545k in bank and wanna go ZGL to Tsmith and naughton to Ridley (got rice last week)
I’d have 800k for a triple upgrade next week giving me one more look at westhoff and rocky and even gray and hall if my plums allow to do so. I’m only playing leagues I’m Ranked 9500 . 18 trades left and 6 from premo
You're crazy! pick up smith and do an upgrade mate, too much cash to leave in the bank, i dont really rate ridley as a must have!
Fml duman and murphy in this week means i cant loop vc/c. Im thinking i captain gawn but would love others thoughts. Fyfe, danger, gawn, titch, dusty or cripps???
Feedback would be greatly appreciated!!
I think Gawn might go big. He'd be my pick of that bunch
Cheers mate! Appreciate it!
who is your ruck bench?
I'm going Danger VC, Fyfe C
Need to field 1 out of holman, phillips, t.smith, spargo or guelfi… thoughts community?? Cheers
Smith
Thats who i have on currently, just think it might be too risky cos hes only played the 2 games. Hate not being able to loophole!!
Yeah mate I know that pain. That's why I've kept O Connor and Venables all year
Smart jeff, wish id kept venables now haha!
I'm a bit behind the pack on getting to full premo with still two more down back, two mids and two forwards still to get with 17 trades left. Should I still be looking at Rocky this week? Or should I bring in Yeo/Jonas or Walters/Westhoff instead?
The hoff would be handy for the byes if you are keen on him. But i think yeo is your man if you want a defender!
I really like most of this years Doug Nicholls round Jumpers. Finally starting to move away from the dot art style that was only ever in central and western desert country and starting to represent the art and culture of other regions as well as embracing a modern art style. Well done to everybody involved.
As a Victorian '3-Rivers Country' resident the Saints, Blues and Pies jumpers move me.
Nice one Bob. Hear hear 👍
Went against my golden rule of never picking up Collingwood players, because they are bad luck for me, last week. Traded in Howe. So now it is either.
Howe and Aquaman to Walters and Rocky Means great team for first two bye rounds then need to trade two in.
or
Fitch and Aquaman to T.Smith and Rocky means bit of trading through the byes
Thoughts?
I think Howe will be out for three cos they may as well rest him next week as well
Findlayson – Gaff (152k left)
Or
Barry – rocky (179k left)
if it is last spot in mid and byes are good for you already – Gaff
If getting both anyway or need to fill hole in bye – Rocky! … Also Findlayson dpp from memory so is handy (i already traded him out) and barry is useless.
Thats my guess.
Barry to Rocky!!! Get Gaff after his bye.
Woo hoo, Heeney and Simmo both in negatives and Cripps on Zilch.
Buddy on – 9
I traded in Cripps over Danger last week a move I will probably regret for the rest of the year.
Sorry for breaking him
Only reason I did it though was because I had to keep Henry if I traded in Danger. In the end that would have been better :/
Yeah I still got a spot in the mids, Holman will be traded to Danger after his bye. Merret might be traded out soon as well
You bas#@!d
LOL
Have you got Grundy? If not, can you trade him in please… need his price to drop by his bye.., 🤔😁
The main stat about rocky the last two weeks is his had 9 and 7 tackles in those two games now looking at last years stats he had on got 9 tackles once after rnd 12 and during this time he layed a maximum of only 4 tackles per game up until rnd 8 this year so the shoulder is starting to not worry him.
hmmm good stuff Pod. Might sway a few to grab him including me.
Rocky is or was a supercoach dominator, little older bit more frail but a fit rocky might just be worth 120 here on end
WTF is Cripps doing?…4 points and almost half time, oh well I'll look forward to picking him up cheap soon I guess.
Looks slow
Might be carrying an injury we don't know about.
I think his injured. Wasn't moving well towards the end of last week. Hewett also wearing him like a glove.
Bye coming at a good time though.. fingers crossed it's just a rest he needs
Cop the bad score nothing new under the sc sun
Seemed injured at the end of last week plus the hewett tag could be a very nice pickup for a non owners
Got a corked thigh last week.
Hopefully Josh Kennedy doesn't smash it against saints because those 2 pork chops have him….just sayin
How about focusing on your team and hoping it goes well instead of wishing that others go poorly. Pork chop
Wow how about you just focus on my new pic
I call it Black Album 😋
Very artistic
Thanks mate 🙂
Very dark Dave, can't quite make out your guns lol
Hello pork chop haha
Hahahahaha good one mate
Also Rex, know all these cheap likes that you are getting on this post are from sad flogs just like yourself
Yeah they jumped the gun , but have to admit wow is very articulate and to win this thing ( which he still can ) needs something outside the square and foresight before everyone else jumps on, i wish him luck.
Well said Prizza would be easy for Wow to have cookie cutter and remain top 250 all year but I admire the fight he has.
Cheers boys
Maybe Rex is jealous because his team is wallowing in mediocrity…just sayin 🙂
I’m certain that’s the case
20,000 people own Kennedy, what makes you think I'm talking about this gentleman?
What? Go to bed Rex
Rex..first of all, Josh Kennedy Sydney has 12000 owners, and then there's Josh Kennedy from the Eagles, with 4000 owners. So which one are you referring to, that isn't playing against StKilda this week?…lol.
I'm not defending anyone, it's just that you look a little bit insane, just a little bit though.
Rex Hunt yibida yibida lol
And a they have refrained from the crap .May I say a couple of times recently that would have been difficult.. I too wish wow luck especially if he is TREV
What if I’m not Trev?
Stick that up ya rex
Cripps 9 at half time!
Yeh, ang got 7points for a clearance that went straight to Syd… he is clearly busted… was there commentary that he had a corky last week? … he’s not right ..
Bandaged like The Mummy atm
Time to flick him he's not going to last the season he has bye next week.Ed Curnow anyone ?
Silvagni is on fire!
31 free kicks paid 7 mins to go in the 3rd
No wonder why player scores are low
Hey Cripps 40 winks called they want their matress back 🤣
Sore leg to go with his sore shoulders.
Due for a rest. Bye couldnt have come at a better time.
Looks cactus. Due a rest.
It's hard carrying a Team, a lot of weight on the shoulders and the legs, lol
would be happy for a 60
Can't believe I'm saying that lol
We should have looped him 🙊
Cripps > MacRae ?
To be honest writing was on the wall last week, great player but he is still human , cheap now after the bye
I'm trading cripps now. Going to bleed and bye straight up. Blessing
Please tell me your joking. He’s got the best bye, averaging 110+ and will be top 6. Have you lost your mind who cares about price
No way he be top 6 he''s to banged up now
Silvagni looks like he's gonna be a good player in the future.
new role has served him really well
Looks much better playing up the ground.
Based on one game Russty? Or have you seen something I’ve missed over the past 2 yrs.. if he got away during a game he’d be fairly easy to shut down.. right now he gets little attention or respect from the opposition.
Some serious 'weighting' to be applied to scores?
I believe the word you are looking for is 'scaling'
Ahhhh!
Luke Parker….
He bloody gun!
Welcome.
Might be a beginner question but I'm curious to know
3300 SC points allocated p/game.
Do negative points count as points allocated?
i.e if a FA is -4 does that mean if 20 FK in a game do total points allocated =3220 positive 80 negative? OR do they use 'weighting' to make up for those negative points to get back to 3300?
Always 3300 after scaling regardless of negative points throughout the game
Just watch some AFL footy mate.
Always 3300 Bob.
Imagine if – 3300 points were awarded for free kicks. The game tonight was heading that way
Free kicks are +4 for one guy and -4 for the other. It evens out
I wasn't really asking for clarity, but thanks anyway.
I wasn’t really asking for you to say thanks, but thanks anyway.
Cripps ended up getting a pretty good Darcy Fogarty type score.
Plenty of touches just didn't use it as well as he usually does
How rubbish is Hanners?
Needs to get back on the cans.
Hanners is the latest Kieren Jack
They both have no tank and play fat
Fareout he's only 27, thought he was early 30's
49 frees > 14 in the last qtr
Parker outscores Cripps? Bake incoming
Take Parker’s 125 as captain or go with danger/Gawn/fyfe?
Gawn or Fyfe easy
Play it safe and take Parker's 125. If Danger or Gawn score 150, you'll only gain an extra 25 points, not worth the risk in my opinion
I'd roll the dice Jordan. Big Maxxxy or Danger should eclipse that score.
In a tight head 2 head in my league. Field Spargo, Phillips, Higgins or Brayshaw? Can't loophole any of them.
Should we still be able to trade? I can't reverse my trades, they had nothing to do with swans or carlton players either.
Never trade before a Friday game if you don't have to
ok, so if i hadn't traded then i would still be able to? Rookie error.
Yes. If you want to trade a player who's playing on Saturday night for a player who has a game on Sunday you have up to the bounce of the game on Saturday. Once Friday starts any trades are locked
Nope.. once the 1st round starts you can’t reverse trades.
Can move players and change emergencies and captains.. but trades are locked.
