“When it’s early in the season and you don’t care for future woes/Anything goes!”
It’s not very well known, but the 1934 Cole Porter musical Anything Goes! was actually about a sailor picking his Supercoach side early in the season, without a care in the world.
Lek and Patch haven’t quite channelled that particular musical (because they’re uncultured cretins who haven’t seen it), but they’re captured the vibe of the thing.
They’ve thrown together their first* drafts for season 2019 and have released a podcast to show you, community, how not to pick a Supercoach side.
They talk locks, speculative picks and downright awful selections – including Patch’s four mid-pricer backline – to kick it off with a bang.
And if you haven’t already – get around the Trade Planner from Community legend Chicko.
I went from a kind of decent team to a very very stupid team indeed today, with the hopes of deceiving everyone and getting a huge leg up whilst saving heaps of dosh for probably trading in decent players when all that goes horribly wrong!
It'll probably still end up as a fairly boring starting team though eventually.
Think they all will end up boring Rust, it's the smart move
Better being safe and more boring than going way to risky and completely ruining the season
Guys join 392941 … Avg score 2120 plus….. 2-3 years experience preferred
Feeling confident that I've got the right line up to win it all!
Wondering how miles can be compared to cog. Cog was in a top team, with a top midfeild that helped around him. Miles is going to a side that will get pumped everyweek
Fair, Cogs had three year's of 90+ while Miles has had 3 year's of 89.9+
Cogs is better no doubt, has a higher ceiling and set himself up as a keeper going into last year. But no one thought he'd be a keeper, everyone thought he'd be a safe stepping stone, that's the similarity to Miles. He'll be a safe stepping stone, he just down't have the upside that Cogs has proven he has.
I had Cogs down as a keeper, in that I wanted to keep him and was hoping that it would be worth it.
Nonsense. The bloke had a 105 season to his name, there was plenty who had him as M8 planned. To say they both have had 3 90+ seasons sarcastically if extremely silly.
Miles can easily average around the 85-90 mark in which case he is a slow burn and not worth it.
You had me at Pixies. Cheers lads. Great pod
Thanks mate!
Good discussion on the POD Lek & Patch.
So many options this time of year, my brain is mush.
Starting team is taking on the Cox curse – Grundy & Gawn, 🔒. That means less premium across one line.
My dimlema this presents:
Option 1 – Simpson & Yeo?
Option 2 – Witherden & Macrae?
Mixture of each for me:
Yeo & Witherden
Use extra money elsewhere
Cheers PJ. I’m struggling to part with Macrae. If he goes huge again, it’s going to hurt.
Is there any reason that he won't go big again?
Haven’t really read up on how he’s tracking but his hammy injury could possibly slow him down from last season/be of concern
A hammy from last year!? C'mon
Macrae is fine.
Libba
Gotta have Macrae, I've just about convinced myself since the pod that I'm cooked without him. Ownership % will impact my choice
Thanks Lek. Macrae becomes M1. Running Witherden at D3. Geez I can’t wait!
Taking on the Cox Curse – don't say we didn't warn you! Such a huge cash setback as well – I can't see myself going the duo.
As someone with Witherdon and Yeo I'm a bit torn – especially how much I love Macrae – but I reckon Option 1 at this stage
Curse will be broken Patch. I’m leaning to Option 2 but genuinely wavering. Bring on the pre season already.
I should also add that Witherden/ Simpson are my current D3 (have Lloyd & Laird). Yeo was M4. Macrae would become M1.
Witherden and Macrae
Thoughts on armitage 420k mid fwd.
It's either him and Gawn
Or a Devon smith and goldstein
Avoid Armitage. Low ceiling and aging body. Plenty of other options around that price – Higgins, Dahlhaus, Worpell as examples.
Agreed Rivo. Saints players in general are worrying me, even with Roberton in my side.
Do NOT pick Armitage….. Buuurrrnnnnn man
Hannebery is more likely than Armitage to get back to past glories. Aviod him unless he hits surprising supercoach form
Hi community,
I’d just like to throw a few names out into the open and get your opinions on them and what you think they might be able to do in 2019.
Viney, Taranto, Josh J kennedy, Zac williams, Zorko, Crisp.
Cheers community!
I'm just going to say yes or no..
Viney-no
Taranto-no
Jjk- potentially
Williams- yes
Zorko – yes
Crisp – yes if taking kick ins at Collingwood (is he?)
Viney – no
Taranto – potentially
JJK – potentially
Williams – yes
Zorko – no
Crisp – I think Howe takes their kick ins? how much he does determines the answer to that question.
Viney – possibly yes, has been training well
Taranto – no
JJK – More no than yes
Z Williams – yes but there might be better options, such as kick in takers
Zorko – No
Crisp – No (doesn't take kick ins)
Kick ins are taken by Howe and Maynard.
Viney -No
Taranto -Number stack up for a potential breakout but we're not talking 110+ here we're talking 90+
JJK-Will score 200 in round 1 then miss 2 rounds
Williams Yes
Zorko-wait and see, no to start
Crisp-Need to see Pies lineup
if you had to pick one who would you pick out of libber, hall, Hannebery, miles or rocky
Do you have to have any of them
Libba. He’s flying in preseason.
Hall
Miles for mine, although Libba could be a good bet.
Miles or Hall, haven't even considered Rocky, can't imagine he provides too much value
Could andy McGrath take the next step this year? What do you think his role will be?
McGrath will def improve his ave but not enough to make him a keeper and he won't make you enough money to be a viable option IMO. Much better options out there
I reckon this is the right call. A lot of competition for spots in that Essendon midfield and I'm not willing to take a punt. I reckon he'll break out, but will he finish the season as a top eight player? I don't see it at this stage, but I'm willing to be proven wrong!
We dont need him finish top 8 Patch we just want him to make some Yuans.
He's a smart footballer and Brains beats braun
Very probable Harry. if he gets high mid minutes in JLT and does well I'll lock him in
Ultimately a watch preseason option. Started very well in Essendon hit out today with midfield time.
Hi All,
First time poster and listener!!
Looking for some thoughts on the below:
$25,400 in the bank
Def: Lloyd, Sicily, Williams, Roberton, Burgess, Hore (Answerth,McLennan)
Mid: Cripps, Fyfe, Yeo, Martin, Merrett, Constable, Valente, Hayes (O’halloran, Hind, Foley)
Ruc: Grundy, Goldstein (Fort)
Fwd: Danger, Heeney, Dunkley, Greene, Setterfield, Corbett (Cavarra, Moore)
I'm usually a $150k and under rookie selector (provided they're named) and also looking at starting without a loophole if a bottom priced ruck is selected.
Did they fix Robertons Heart?
Apparently they have, yes
Big risk, I wanna see him play 80 minutes in every JLT match before sign him up.
They also reckon that they fixed Kreuzers heart problem but there's no info anywhere as to what that issue was so I'm skeptical that they could have fixed it if they don't know what it was.
Sounds a bit like my Ferrari mechanic "I don't know what the rattle noise was but we fixed it. That'll be $3,500 thanks Mr Phuc".
Yeah right, at $130 an hour a mechanic makes out like a bandit whatever they do to your depreciating shitbox these days lol, back on the Kreuzer issue, I'm kinda glad I haven't decided to go with him now, I forgot about his heart scare, and then I remembered his groin issues and foot issues, and now he's over 30, so is Goldy but at least he's pretty durable.
Lloyd and Sicily is a massive D1+2 combo and I like it. Goldy an astute pick this year I feel.
Welcome aboard mate! Piece of advice is to grab an intensedebate account for the comments, makes it easier to track responses
I think you've nailed you first draft here. Roberton the question mark but I like a team without pods for pods sake.
It's worth mentioning that Greene, Sicily and Merrett have been set-back during pre-season via injury. All (except Sicily) are still not in training Your team features a lot of sub-premiums (less than 500k Fwd/Def and 575k Mid/Ruck) and few uber-premiums (600k+). Goldstein, Williams, Greene, Martin and Merrett are examples of players who could be fiddled with. I have had all but Goldy in my team, but here's why I changed them. Dusty – Will likely be played up forward more often, or at an equal rate to this year due to injury risk and midfield depth at Richmond Goldstein –… Read more »
I wouldn't avoid high price rookies. They average more than those outside top 10 with more success over 60 "in general". Walsh this yr is a near known rookie that should get you 60+ at most conservative estimate. For me, Walsh, Setterfield, Collins are good selections. Nick Blakey starting to put hand up today and is a watch now.
If we are lucky, we get to fill rookies with cheap options but the odd top 10 draftee is worth the time.
The great ruck dilemma! I think I agree with the many posts that say we will ultimately want to get a Grundy Gawn combo. I also agree that the potential new roles for Melbourne makes Gawn’s opening price look prohibitive. If you take Goldy, I think you are condemning yourself to never have Gawn. You might end up with the third best Ruck, but possibly not the best combo. If you take Kreuzer or Longer, you will probably have them as stepping stones to get to Gawn. I think that’s a better option than Goldy. But there might be a… Read more »
Not sure how you can explain that people starting gold will not be able to get gawn
It's more difficult than you think huh, there are always more important issues to attend to….than sideways trades, it seems..and you usually need to do 2 trades to make it happen.
The ruck line will be chopped and changed a lot this pre-season and it's painful. I'm still worried by Pruess' impact on Gawn – I reckon they both play
It's pretty obvious at the dees training Pruess will play forward like Cox but the biggest mover at the Dees is Hore. Coaches are mighty impressed with him A ranging beautiful kick he will find it hard to get a gig but Smiley is in my team
Shhhhhh on Fort!
North have the last bye. Perfect time to bring gawn in. Start any other ruckman and you'll still need 2 trades to get gawn in. Imo goldy could close the price gap between himself and gawn
I just saw too that if Fort does start, he first two games are potentially against Grundy and Gawn….
Hi All
First cut prior to preseason form and injuries,
$95,700 in bank
Def: Laird, Witherden, Williams, Burton, Logue, Scrimshaw (Wiliamson, Wigg)
Mid: Cripps, Fyfe, Kelly, Bont, McCluggage, Hanne, Liber, Walsh (Constable, Bewley, Hind)
Ruc: Kreuzer, English, (De Koning)
For: Heeney, J Kennedy, Curnow, Greene, Wright, Rankine (Blakey, Setterfield)
you need to address your ruck situation. You can make a case for leaving one of grundy/gawn out but you definitely need one of them
A lot of brave picks in McCluggage, Curnow and Burton – I'd personally dial one or two of them back but this time of year is where speculation shines
Makes sense to go 4 deep in the backline with these new rules
Agree but also think there's plenty of value there too…gonna be make or break
Agreed, I'm curious to see how the new rule plays out in JLT but won't be going less than 4, even contemplating 5 to bring in another kick-in specialist like Witherden. That will depend on how the rule plays out in practice.
Does anyone know of a site that shows VFL, TAC, SANFL, WAFL, NEAFL supercoach scores from last season?
Great question…I'll tweet the world and get back to you
Thanks big fella
footywire.com.au has comprehensive stats. Not sure if it would help you but sure that it would increase your average by atleast 100 points. If you know how to mine data …. Test your game against us at 392941
I'm in
Thoughts on Webster for 472k? Averaged 103 for the first 12 rounds last year until he went down in Round 13, then didn't look right for the rest of the season. Sneaky POD?
Hmmmmm he could well be a sneaky one – for mine, if I'm spending that much I'd probably want a tried and tested premo, otherwise I might look at a cheaper option. But one to consider, absolutely
I bought him in late last season and he burnt me big time………………………..never again.
Yeah unfortunately..for me!..he's a shit player in a shit team….avoid at all costs….moa foers.
Ok ill get my league code out there before teams max out!! Another hi ranking hopefully top 100 again for the 4th straight year. Believe me couldnt do it without the great teams that have been involved. Demon Delight Bundeena Bunnies Underdorks Dont Worry be Trigga Gators Gumps Tophawks Rockburners No Trade Fa Fox Ache Lloyd Pope The Winning Choice Rick Grimes Cardinal wor pal. I hope the teams l mentioned and l can see some teams have changed there names can come back aboard! Code 680579 P.s let me know your aboard.
Hi shake – I was Lloyd Pope last year but my team name has changed. Finnius’ frothies are happy to join :). We killed it as a league last year so hopefully can do it again.
Great Finnius. Hope to get everyone back
It was one of my strongest leagues Finn From my memory you beat Shake by about 180 in the G/F I finished on top but tradeless Bombed out quick Not this year good luck Finn
It was a great league NDD. My GF score was my best for the year so lucky to get up in that regard.
Aren't you still a bit young to be drinking frothies Finn?…need to change your profile line too mate.
Ahh thanks russty – change it now. And I’m just hitting my prime 🙂
Yes you are mate…rumble young man rumble! 🙂
I'm back in Shaker.. The Instagator.. cheers mate
Awesome Gator
Giday Shake, I was underdorks last year, changed it this year, cheers.
Name change maybe thats all youll need to clean up Russty!!
I wish mate!….very tough League with some top coaches in there mate…best way to spend your season! 🙂
Hi Shake waiting for this one. Proud to be a member of CAZALY again Best of luck SHAKE
Welcome back Neil 😊
CAZALY!
Cracking league Shaker.
Will be great 👍
Count me in shakers
Ill give you 7 Reasons Why.
What are these 7 mythical reasons why Trig..7 Reasons Why…what? 🙂
Why I fell off the pace last year but wont this year
Macrae
Grundy
Whitfield
Dunkley
Brayshaw
Zerrett
Roberton
How many were in the same boat TRIGG Really thinking about Brayshaw Don't think two dees will hurt in the mids
I think he could go premo this year Neil, he showed the signs last year, was only head injuries and silly helmets holding him back the year before.
Yep this year started with who i wanted but missed on last year and built from there.
Ah ok, I wasn't able to obtain Macrae last year, that's something peeps don't realise, if you don't start with a certain player and they go nuts, they remain unaffordable.
I didn't have most of those guys last year either, got Grundy in when I could, had Whitfield to start but got rid of him right before he started improving his scores haha
Its all in first 2 rounds. If your team shapes well you end up well but if you are forced to shuffle your cards in first 2 rounds thats how the season ends.
Had some great games last year Trigg! In hindsight so many things we all could av done differently players we started with, when to pull the trigger on players, ones to get in and ones you just miss out on. Im hoping to just limit that this year!! Good luck 🍀😉

appreciate the invite!
Well, apprently Mills just dominated a intraclub match playing right in the guts
Hi Godd, he's totally in my team next year if he can pop that 80 average barrier and get 95 this year.
Ah the Pixies, great intro for this point of the season.
Nice pod Lek and Patch, going back to crazy up my team a bit after that.
I think I stuffed my team beyond repair Hedski, might have to do an autofill…LOL
Who's going to start the 2 big guns in the ruck even though they have the same bye round
Hey Gator, I read an article in the Herald Sun that said right now it's between Fort and Stanley for the Cats, and considering Stanley started out as a fwd he could be more suited down there, hopefully the Cats will give Darcy a go and he does well, if he starts round 1, I might start him R2 and whack another big gun on another line.
Yeah i'm thinking along the same line Russty with Fort,, But would you be game enough to start Grundy and Gawn and them having the same bye round and fork out $1.4 mill and set and forget
I am GAT with SWEET It is a lot of coin but think of the lost points
It's a hard one neil but it's gunna be hard to get either one in down the track and yes the lost points
What do you think of Harmes as a smokey
Depends on price but yes well in
Hey Neil. How are you mate? You seem to know ur Demons well so do you think Preuss may effect Gawns scoring ability?
Absolutely mate, we only need the best 18 scores on the park for that week, and so what if ya only lose one bye round if it doesn't work out?
The rest of the year will work out with the 2 best rucks in you corner..but other lines would obviously suffer…I was set on Kreuzer, but am unsure about that now, and opted for Grundy / Goldy for now.
I was looking at Kruez but the two big G's might have to be the go and the other big G will be third
Hi mate. How have you been? Great to see you still around the site
Hi Holty good to see you back .. Now get stuck into your side and have fun
I don't see Gawn scoring the same as last year. Think he'll still be top 2 ruck, but about 10 points shaved off his ave. So around 115-120. I see Goldy increasing his ave by 5-10, so around 110-115. Ergo, similar output for $150k less. Grundy my clear no1 pick and happy to stump up for him.
Hi Rick JLT will have a huge impact on where the dees see Pruess.The saints and cats would love to have him wouldn.t be dismissing the all aust. no. 1 ruckman just yet NDD
By 2 big guns do you mean Grundy and NicNat?
Looking for cash leagues to join. NO BS please. Cheers community
Hey mate, got a $100 cash league going email [email protected] for details
Hey all. SuperCoach is open. You little beauty. Now to spend the next few months changing my side a couple of hundred times.
Hi Holty, good to see you mate, keep a spot open cause I'll try to slot you in to one of my two leagues, if anyone's not interested but if not I'll start a new one, cheers bud, don't be so bloody late next year lol.
All good mate. Been a hectic few months for me so finally had the opportunity to log on to see how the community is going. Seems all the regulars are back which is great to see.
Hope everything's ok with you mate, yeah the JR Site's looking like it has good attendance again, was dead before SC opened but then fired up, had a few problems with spam and quite a few people not being able to post when they want to but hopefully admin are sorting that stuff out.
The flog factor has reduced this year, and there are some great new posters around the traps with some great info.., if you have any issues posting, email me and I'll let Lek know about it.
Cheers mate. Will probably start my research on the rookies next few weeks as I think I know who I want as my promos. Will probably leave Gawn out if a rookie is playing 1st round as Preuss playing now scares me off Gawn a bit
Good to see you back again Hotly. I have been to many dees training and Pruess is being groomed to be a big cox. I don't think it will dramatically effect Gawn and it may not even work. The new rules will help Brayshaw more than any other demon .I am so tempted to make him M5 instead of Harmes cheers mate NDD
That's why I asked you about Harmes Neil… Just interested on how he's tracking and whether he's worth gambling on
come and have a go at 488616. Last year average was 2100+
Good one.
The ruck debate will continue but a few years back when Gawn went down Pederson Watts and Tom McDonald took over with success. The first two are no longer dees but McDonald is. With the grooming of Weideman as a ruckman progressing. and his undoubted forward talent coupled with the proven relief ruckwork of McDonald I cannot see Pruess taking over from Weideman They are trialing it but really he will be a Casey Ruckman – however Gawn will be rested interstate games Only my observation
What !!!!! Watts is gone !!!! How !!!! When !!!! Why !!!! The number 1 draft pick that's as handy as a hip pocket in a pair of undies…. Ahh I see now why Port got him to take over the no 1 ruck roll after Ryder, Lycett and The Hoff retire
On another one Neil it's great to see Shelley Scott sharing the Captains roll with Daisy…. She's the daughter of one of my mates Peter that I grew up and played footy with….. The little dairy farmer from Gerangamete about 10 minutes south east of Colac who would've ever thunked that hey
Did you see your other mate on the cricket === Hodgey. They reckon he could have made it.Daisy wont play she is having a baby and good luck to Shelley.might get a gig at saints with the other girls
No I didn't see Hodgey.. But he was lightning with the ball.. He'd still trundle around mid to high 130's now… He has such a graceful action and runs in like Michael Holding
I doubt that Preuss would have knocked back offers from 4 or more AFL clubs to play VFL Neil. I know you love Max and want him to be #2 most selected supercoach ruck but it's more likely he'll be 4 or 5.
All the better for me but if the experiment fails then we all get him Goldy and Nank wont be cashcows so why not get the best
Agree with you neil
Seems the trend is picking a bunch of mid price defenders with the expectation that rule changes will bump up their output. What happens if that doesn't pan out?
Iv'e made the same observation Rick … I'm still looking at pure guns down back.. In fact i'm going pure Guns'n' Rooks all over
Yeah Rick seems to be the case. My back premos consist of any of the top 12 from last year who took the most kick ins. I’m even considering Short as well. I think the new kickin rule might benefit him the most. Hurn could be a big winner as well with the new rule
Hard to say who's going to benefit the most on this one Holty… there are so many that play on from the kick in
you will run out of coin though Gator. Its confusing when discussing prems and mid pricers/ Derek said he had 12 but I counted less Triggs version is best up to 250 rookie 500 midprice over that are prem Was cogniglio a prem last year? no — a mid pricer to start. Also I notice people saying I am counting so and so as a prem Rubbish either above 500 and a prem or not Yeo was 499 early doors —a mid pricer So Rick and Gator will you make it with guns n rooks ?
I'm looking at Lloyd, Laird and Whitfield in dec at this stage. 5 x uber premium Mids. Grundy and Goldy. 3 x $500+ forwards. Rest rookies. Have coin to buy a couple of pricier rooks if they look value. Overall happy with 13 definite keepers and few question marks.
I think Keepers instead of Guns.
Witho is a keeper in my opinion, someone you expect to start and finish the year with.
Everyone else is a cash cow.
ZWilliams is a keeper. He isn’t a cash cow, not cheap enough.
Green is a keeper if he starts
Kruzer I’m not sure about
What price do you consider a mid price defender to be?
Witherden would be prime example. Mid priced to average 85. Could go to 100 average this year, maybe. But it's a punt and you might be stuck with mid priced output.
Thats a bit harsh on Alex Rick he's only played 30 games and has a career ave of 16 kicks p/game. I'll be picking him before Laird who's best season ave for kicks is also 16 (2018) but a career ave of only 10.5.
Third year breakout for Alex. Laird increased his ave by 34 in his 3rd year Witherden could do the same just by playing on at every kick-in.
Yeah I don't know about that as fatty said it's withers 3rd year. To have an 85 avg that early on is pretty good. Doesn't need to do too much more to get into the top 6 spot
I agree Rick. That to me is a risky business. For me, it is simply keeping the rule changes in mind, and yet still selecting players purely on merit. If you are down to 2-3 players who you are tossing up over to fill a spot and one of those 3 has the most to benefit from a rule change, then perhaps then do you take that into consideration and select that player who gets most benefit. By wildly selecting mid pricers solely because they could benefit from rule changes is absolute madness. Cheers Rick.
Thinking Blakely, Witherden and Williams are the 3 mid pricers to consider
Wiiliams and newman value there
Remember a guy kicking in is only as good as they players he has to kick to….Look for the clubs with great ruckmen to kick it to. Howe & Hibberd are 2 nobody seems to talk about
Hibberd hardly took a kick in last year
G day community! My first post for 2019 and I want to throw a challenge out. The challenge is this: "Which 10 premo defenders ($450K ) have a history of doing a large bulk of the kick ins (After a behind) WHICH DO NOT kick it to themselves but simply kick it out directly." One such defender which comes to mind is Luke Ryan. He does a lot of kicking in without kicking it to himself and playing on. Can we find the other 9 and rank them in order with #1 being the premo defender who never or rarely… Read more »
Lloyd Hurn Short and Witherden are the most prolific with the kickin duties. What surprised me more was Hurn kicked in 61% of the time
Was taking a look at who had the kick in duties last year and hurn took a blody big chunk of them (151) and 41% of those he kicked to himself. That alone put him into my first drafted side
Crisp and Salem rarely but lewis does
Glad to see you back in hawk!
Thanks Shake. I feel like a 2019 SC "A" game. Bring it on!
Gray vs Dunkley. What are the pros and cons of both and who is more likely to do better.
Cheers community
Hey Richard, It's all role for those two. Both shown they can tear it up if given midfield time and will be ones to monitor in regards to where their respective coaches play them. Gray is likely to do better if both given the midfield role but dunkley has shown great scoring ability averaging 115.7 from round 15 onwards last year and is in my team right now + may be a bit of a pod
Patch / Lek / Community Any love for jack Steele? Upside – he is 23 -he will play in the guts and only the guts -averaged a massive 111.7 in his last 9 games – possesses from my quick research most of the statistics in Jocks “next supercoach beast” except for disposals but his tackling makes up for those points – $515k Downside – was used in a tagging role a couple of times which generally isn’t supercoach friendly but actually helped him I believe because he got more tackles – had a poor start to the year
no plays for saints who are poorly coached anything can happen down there
Hadnt considered him xman but those last 9 game stats are impressive. Wait and see prospect I think, especially being a Saint.
Nice point-out Xman
2017 he ave 90.5 for 1st 7-games (only 2x Sub-80) and 95 over last 7-games
2018 he ave 82.7 for 1st 7-games (4x sub-80) and 117 over last 7-games
Not on my starting team radar because he costs 512k and might drop by 50-100k early but, he averages 7.5 tackles a game at the saints as a tagger so as long as the saints continue their abstract midfield strategy of losing clearances he could be worth a look after the byes.
Will be an interesting one to watch early. If he plays a proper MID role then could be a decent POD
He is on my watch list Xman. I have always been big on him and have mentioned him on several occasions. A tackling machine who gets plenty of the contested ball. Problem is, I don’t trust the Saints. He was dropped last year after he was leading the Saints tackling and won more contested ball then any other Saint. I think it has something to do with his engine as he spends a lot of time on the bench. I’ll watch him in the JLT but I guess that doesn’t mean a lot as he smashed out a 170 sc… Read more »
I believe he finished top 10 in the 3k a couple of weeks back and he’s tracking well. Again it’s gonna be the question if it’s worth the risk, could have a similar average to this year or he could explode.
I think if he was 400k he would be worth the risk but at his price, you would be hoping for him to be a keeper
Phantom rates him I believe
Welcome back to the new years ladies and gents. Iv finally had my first look at supercoach for the year and there are some tantalising prospects.
Question for @trig. Any chance your making trigs happy place again this year? Would love the chance to defend my title from last year againa you blokes. Cheers
welcome back Kyle That was an epic win for the tradies Moustaccio has been one of if not the best Jr coach with apologies to addicts,.2679 was a massive total . I for one want to take your title See you in the HAPPY PLACE I hope NDD
Cheers mate! Had one of those years where everything sorta just fell in to place haha
Came out of the byes like a man posessed averaging over 2500 to years end!
Might have to rethink Gawn Melbourne just trialled Gawn as a forward with Pruess rucking Both starred with Gawn's marking a highlight. Took a ripper over Frost. They are tinkering with a forward line of Joel Smith McDonald Weideman and Gawn with Pruess now rucking enough for me, you guys appear to be right , welcome Goldy NDD
Do you watch all of their training?
Yes and for those that have him Tracca went off with a lower leg maybe an ankle all hush hush no one talking about it Looked bad and was heavily strapped Give him a miss
So you think Gawn is not a good pick then? If that is the case I might go Martin, Goldy
Turned me off but it's only trials. Might look at Fort or Sweet for cash flow and get Lloyd in NDD
When was this? Melbourne didn’t train today
Thursday lunchtime At goches.Tracca now appears to be ok but restricted training .Still a no
Thanks for the intel Neil. I am not starting Gawn this year. Its Grundy and Goldstein for me at this stage. As you know, Goldy has no Pruess and Daw to deal with and should do the bulk of the rucking for North. He is super consistent and great value at $548K. Set and forget! Will never touch Petracca again after he shat all over me last year. The fact that he has injury issues means I can just forget him. Cheers mate.
Have you given Westhoff any thought? He is an interesting one. He has RUC/FWD eligibility. He will do very little ruck work with Lycett and Paddy Ryder sharing those duties. Westhoff could play that roaming type role where he collects pozzies around the ground and kick a few goals as well. He could easily average 100+ and may be a very strategic R2 option. Same price as Goldy. He is on my watchlist to see what role he has during the JLT.
We are all aware of the snide comment 'Points Chaser' that is leveled at people who trade in players that start with a bang, personally I think it's just sour grapes from those who don't have the courage to make the same move. If you look at it equitably anybody who starts the #1 to #6 player in any position is also technically 'Points Chasing' only they're doing so based on performances 6-months ago rather than performances from 3-weeks ago. Maybe cut back on the insults this year guys unless none of your starting squad is top 10 in their… Read more »
Golden rule: never go chasing points. If you missed the boat dont try and catch up to it 👍
Not what I am saying at all.
I mean dont go chasing points from rookies who you have missed out on if they have gone up in price dramatically, see it happen every year.
Dont sideways trade premo players for others just because others are tearing it up at that time, also see that happen every year
Sorry man… Was just having an opinion on something I have seen ruin SC seasons… no need to get so narky. 👍
It's a sensitive subject because sometimes we all have to do it when we realise we've chosen the wrong guy and the guy we didn't choose is going nuts on the scoreboard.
I've done it before and I'll do it again if it means I can acquire the guy who's gonna get me the points I need going forward, even if it means sacrificing 50 or 100 grand sometimes.
Obviously it's not ideal and we'd all like to make the right calls from the start but we don't sometimes, and have to take the money loss up the keister…lol
Spot on Russty. I did not start with Sicily last year but with Petracca instead. Became very clear after the first few rounds I had a serious problem. I realised I had to get rid of Petracca and secure Sicily as soon as I could. I think Sicily was in my team by round 6 and Petracca was punted soon thereafter. That move saved my season and ensured i remained competitive in most leagues and seeing some finals action. That is not points chasing, that is team management. Chasing in form players that you do not have to boost your… Read more »
I think you did the right thing there mate, I think the point chasing issue, or debate stems around rookies, do you bring the 117k rookie in after he has 3 good weeks in a row and jumps to 195k?…maybe not cause they can fall in a heap after that, their high initial scores being attributed to excitement of their debut and adrenaline.
I've done that before, but won't do it again..can really damage your year.
There's some intense debate going with you fellas about ruckmen…..Sure you haven't forgotten anyone?
You've never averaged more than 93 or played a full season
I've got you covered big dog
When it comes to twitter I am a twit… it’s all gooblydook to me .. so I only read what is presented in a single tweet.. no idea how to share this so just copied .. the credit to Paige Córdona .. has me thinking seriously …
#FunFactFriday
@Richmond_FC won the clearance rate 56% of the time that Jack Higgins attended a centre bounce – that is the highest percentage differential in the AFL. On top of averaging 96.5 #SuperCoach points during the finals series, Higgins is a serious breakout contender💯
well done very useful indeed
Hi Lazza, checked Higgins out. I used to be fond of finding one breakout player per line in the early days of SC, have gone pure G&R last few years, Higgins might sway me back to yester-years. Thanks for the heads-up.
How much of your salary cap are you looking to have spare to start the season?
I don't keep any spare, no need IMO, rookies generate quickly
Agree with this lek. Invest your money and let it grow
I try to have 80000 to 100000. This is more of a just in case one of my premos go down in the early going. The extra money will allow me to do a direct swap with another premium
I usually look to have 70k or more
I'm with Lek on this one money in the kitty doesn't score points.
50-100K for me Roy.
Just to cover any early correctives/injuries.
I like around 50K, just in case.

Shame to not see Pieman around for so long Gator, hope he hasn't chosen somewhere else and everything's ok with him, I miss his posts.
Not sure about the other guys but John's around, johnDJ59's on Twitter too I think. Nicholas always starts late from memory.
Yeah Pieman hasn't been sighted Russty.. Hope all is good with him … We need his wisdom on this forum
Hi Gator, just saw your post, I joined 'The Rat Pack', but I don't have enough room for 'Magnificent 7' this time around. If a league I'm in doesn't look like filling up and there is still room later on I could always jump in then. Thanks for the invite by the way.
All good JD.. Cheers mate
I'm in Gator!
Was Cardinal Worpel but now Blakes Hard Wick
Thanks Gator. I fell at the second last hurdle last year. Will have another crack.
Just tried to jump in but is full sorry Gator.
Any other leagues with openings for Docs Destroyers
Try jumping back in Doc ..I'll make room for you… Cheers gator
A couple of options being considered. Thoughts appreciated…
1. Witherden D3 & Walsh M6
2. De Goey F4 & any $123k Rookie mid M8?
Withers looks good. Personally I wouldn't pick a 200k rookie. They might make a few extra points to start off with but the cheaper ones will make you more cash and allow you to upgrade quicker offsetting those early points
Agree Gods. Walsh is a bit risky but almost guaranteed to play. I can see him putting up decent scores around 75+ & be good on field cover. Not a keeper but I do have enough rooks to make the cash for the culling time.
Is there a Jock Reynolds group code
I have a league it’s open to anyone 384092
Josh
Thanks – I’m in
Thank you
What’s everyone’s thoughts on de goey and j Kennedy this year
Josh
Are they keepers – if not, you will use up two trades. You need to find a forward keeper and a rookie to replace them imo
Not sure d goey gets much mid time
Just gotta say what's the point in playing if you're not going for overall. Push yourself, don't just play for 'bragging' league wins.
Nothing wrong with going for overall rank, but ultimately 99.999 % of us will be more concerned about how we go in or leagues, against people we know..because that's ultimately more fun, when the whole overall rank thing hits us in the face with reality.
Personally I'm an, enjoying the journey kinda guy as opposed to , the final result…except for Leagues, when it can go up until the final game.
There's plenty of point playing for whatever you want to play for…why exactly are you making a point of only playing for rank?….you sound like someone familiar from last year.
Well $50k sounds a lot better than saying I beat some scrubby Jr member in a weekly score. I personally thing overall players are far superior to those who are solely invested in league
Good for you then I guess, overall is like winning Lotto, it only happens to one of many, if your sole enjoyment depends on that then good luck to you I guess, that's a lot of expectation for 6 months of work with very little reward for all but one. I think the players who are "far superior"…are the ones who enjoy their season the most, regardless of overall ranking, which more often than not, pales into comparison to the enjoyment they got from winning a League full of competitive players completing the whole season. You are reminding me disturbingly… Read more »
I was around last year from what I remember they still finished quite high regardless of their drop off.
Leagues is just a different mindset not offence
One finished 3000th plus and the other 10000 plus…after bragging all year about rank and crapping all over players playing for leagues…I think i've seen enough now, you just can't help exposing yourselves, you're booted from my League, not sure who the other one is yet but I'll figure it out soon enough….you weren't around last year at all, I would've remembered…not under this name anyway.
Yeah I didnt post…?
OK kick me 👍
Oh you were here but didn't post?…just a humble observer…with how humble you are.?.hahah you're a Liar, you know you are.
You're too dumb to fool anyone, if you were smarter you'd have waited until half way through the season before you released your views on overall rank and Leagues, which are quite clear!..because that's all that matters to you and your sidekick….that's a big empty result if it goes wrong.
Anyways…enough drama, now that i've exposed you…I'm ready to go back to chillout Summer mode.
You two can't help but reveal your true natures because they're toxic…maybe go study Political science?
Is that you WOW?
Just for the record, I have a record with these serial instigators, they've both gone after me in the past, and lost the battle. I'm just pointing out that they are the only people in the past, ever who have brought attention to their view that only going for overall rank matters, and that everything else doesn't. If they had more brains, they'd have stayed more hidden until the season was well underway. They're just here under different names this year, probably with vpn's so their identities can't be blocked. Their goal is to disrupt the site, annoy and infuriate… Read more »

Good for you Russty .This is a fun site and most are league players anyway. Good you exposed both early and get back to our teams. .NDD
Rusty rusty.
While i love your passion always remember the "fire" analogy.
On league v Rank there was a great article on this in the JR mag a couple of years back written by the doyian Jock himself.
Make as call which one you are as there are different strategies for each.
Have a read. It is all there.
hi Trigga. This is true. 2 completely different strategies. But this was one of the main reasons why we had all the problems last year on the site. You had 2 blokes getting stuck into people saying how more superior they were because their ranks were better when probably 90% of us were playing for leagues. It is impossible to compare yet these 2 would constantly do this in a way it was trying to belittle people and damage this great site. If they do return, we as a community just have to be better then them and not get… Read more »
If you want to win leagues, you keep a lot of trades going into the last few weeks.
I try to do both Last year I was in the top 3 after the byes in most leagues with a top side but down to 4 trades. Bombed out quick. Better as you say to keep trades for leagues, but for rank you must grab them as they appear like MacRae last year .I have an idea that fallen midpricers might be the key this year. plenty of prems are overs
Hi Neil. I think after about 4 weeks We have a rough idea if you can compete for overall. My team selection for round 1 isn’t any different but depending where I’m sitting after those first 4 weeks ultimately decides what direction I take for the rest of the season
Looking at a few scenarios
1.Fyfe, Whitfield, Blakely, Witherden, DEF rook and 40k
2.Lloyd/Sicily, Whitfield, Blakely, Witherden, MID rook and 55 or 85k
3.Lloyd, Sicily, Whitfield, Roberton, MID rook and 105k
4.Lloyd/Sicily, Whitfield, WItherden, Roberton, MID rook and 225 or 255k
5.Lloyd/Sicily, Whitfield, WItherden, Roberton, Miles and 5 or 35k
How would you rank these?
Hi Roy, I don't actually rate Whitfield that highly, he's still a bit inconsistent…everyone wants to end up with Lloyd but he's damn expensive.
Defenders I like this year are Hurn, Witherden, Williams, maybe even Roberton depending on how his pre-season goes…he can at least deliver 80 + if he's back to his old self.
Blakely is one to watch in the pre-season too I think.
Call out to BrowlowBoy, PizzaSafety and TommyC99, for entry into JR 18 MEGA-LEAGUE 381946.
Jump in guys if you're interested otherwise let me know, cheers fellas.
I'll start contacting alternates if i don't hear from you by next week, but I'd really like you guys to be part of it….cheers.
I'm in Russty!
Blake's Hard Wick
I'm in if there is still space
Dhondy jump into 848493 if you like
keep me in mind thanks russty!
Mav Jump in to 381946, last spot isn't interested so go for it.
Hi Holty, get in on League 848493,…I've had a withdrawl..go for it mate, please confirm with me.
Cheers mate. I’m in
One of McCluggage or Berry will go large this year.
I'm leaning towards jarrod
Non are premo
That is correct. Some players move up to premium status from mid-pricers to premiums during a season.
Jarrod Berry will average 95-100 IMO
Hi Nick, SC Team Scandiand fc, what's your Jock Reynolds name please?…You need to let me know your team name and JR name 1st before jumping in…cheers
This is me. Was in the leagues last year and got the direct email to re-join
No worries PJ, Didn't send out any email as this is a new League but happy to have you in …I've seen you around the traps for a few years and you always do well, plus Derek recommends you :), welcome mate.
He is a good player mate
Good lads!
Good for you Russty We don't need that this year.
Afl app has released some info on how players are tracking in pre season
Hey TopHawk,
Just saw your post.
If you'd like to open a spot I'd appreciate that in your league, but if not don't stress mate I'm sure we'll bump into one another in a different league.
No worries. There is one spot left. I will open for you now. Cheers mate.
Ripper!
Legend TH!
Just started a league. Code is 541440. All welcome but would love many of the regular posters in this league.
Just joined Holty. Hope that is OK. Cheers.
All good
In Holty!
Hey Holty would you like to come aboard UTCazaly? Would love your compilation? 680579 let me know?
Cheers shake im in
Just joined Holty if thats alright mate??
Fine mate. All Jock members welcome
Do you mind if i join Holty? Been a regular contributor here for 2 years now
jump aboard
Hi Holty, I'd love to mate but am already in 8 and have to reserve 2, glad you entered my league though, mate thanks.
Last time I joined a league I was tossed, is it boys only, if not I'm interested. team- Penske file
Yeah mate all good. All welcome. There are a few leagues that will kick you as some have had the same teams in it for years. Don’t take it personally as same happened to me last year.
Thoughts on my team community, V2 after hanging around the forums and taking in people’s advice.
DEF: Lloyd, Sicily, Witherden, Williams, Rook, Rook/ Rook,Rook
Mid: Cripps, Neale, Martin, Merret, Taranto, Liberatore, Rook, Rook// Rook rook rook
Ruck: Grundy, Goldstein// Loophole
Fwd: Danger, Heeney, Gray, Rook, Rook, Rook// Rook, Rook.
Cheers community, rip into it!
I like it. Like the Taranto selection a lot.
It’s ballsy, but I don’t want to miss out when he takes the step to elite status.
And with no more Shiels, possibly will be now playing more midfield time. Brave move but can’t really knock your decision if you start him.
Kreuzer under the knife again for a knee clean out hoping to be ready for rd 1 🤔
Source?
SEN
was looking at him
Was pretty keen to.
Well it's back to the ACME drawing board for me then
Cross him off the list
oh Dear. Now I have think about Longer
Hey Derek left that spot opened for ya in my league definitely want you in there!! P.s maybe Lobbe is worth a look now 🤣
Don’t do it Derek.
Thanks Russty. I was just talking about Kreuzer yesterday about the high injury risk he is. And now he has gone under the knife again. Just not worth risking, and that goes for Mumford as well. I am prepared to fork out the coin and go Goldy at R2. Not touching guys like Longer. Way too risky for mine.
I whacked in fort at r2 last night just for fun.
Boy does that improve things!
Blakey, williams and green become lloyd, laird and smith.
Quite an upgrade.
Hi Trigga are you going to have your league running again that really did well last year.. cheers mate
Yep Happy Place will go around again but not till Feb.
Jan is just too early
I normally start league around stsrt of JLT.
Titch to Scratch will have to be scratched as Titch is sitting 2019 out.
Never fear though I will come up with a replacement.
Ok mate will wait until then.. cheers mate
Have been toying with the same idea about fort .. Neil and I discussed this plan over the phone yesterday
I love playing around with my team like that. By whacking Fort into R2 it frees up a bloody fortune of cash! Starting Fort at R2 would require a serious strategy and luck to pull it off. Let's say you are planning to get Mumford in going into round 3,4, or 5 (Suspended Rd 1 and 2) Mummy is doing all the right things and is fit to play. Do you run Fort at R2 for the first 5 weeks and grab his points and use him as a short term cash cow? Then when Mummy returns in round 3… Read more »
Exactly, and a large pair of stones, what could go wrong? here, hold my beer:)
Its just a pipe dream. There are just too many if and buts, and variables in play. If Fort gets dropped in round 2 or Mummy does not play round 3 you are pretty much screwed. There are smarter moves. Just thought it was a bit of fun throwing it out there.
Of course mate, look like a champion if you pull it off, but mainly a fool for anyone who gives it a go! But I’ve decided, for the moment at least, to go a cheaper option, 🤷♂️
Hey Tophawk1, waqs just toying with the Mummy idea, if Fort gets a call up for the first two games mummy could be a little money maker, then a sideways with a bit coin??
Or Fort at R2, but its looks wrong, and both scare the shit outta me?
Hi community,
Here's a first draft
DEF: Lloyd, Laird, Sicily, Whitfield, S. Collins, Wilkie, (Hore, Wigg)
MID: Cripps, Fyfe, Kelly, D. Martin, B. Smith (WB), Setterfield, Constable, Bewley, (E. Smith, Hind, Hayes)
RUC: Grundy, Gawn, (Sweet)
FWD: Dangerfield, Dunkley, Wingard, Blakey, Corbett, Cavarra, (M. Parker, Wilkinson)
Thoughts? Would love to find a way to get in D. Smith, Heeney, Blakely and Miles but not sure how.
Cheers
Bloody good side Dylan.
Get Heeney in for Wingard and if that's Hayes from bulldogs he'll score well if he gets a game…so will Smith
Hey mate, heard good things about hayes and smith from the dogs so they're in for the time being, hopefully they can make us some good cash!
Hi Dylan. That is a decent side. The only thing that concerns me is your high spend in the back line which has exposed your depth (lack of) in your midfield. You have 4 premos back there. For me that is 2-3 too many. Perhaps look to start with Lloyd and Whitfield, and aim to grab Laird and Sicily as the season progresses. I really think you need to spend more $ and secure one more uber premo mid. (Eg Oliver, Z Merrett, M Crouch, Macrae-expensive etc). Most points come from the midfielders and you need to be strong there… Read more »
Thanks for the feedback tophawk1! I think you might be on to something there, I'm thinking sicily can wait as you said and I will downgrade to get one of those mids you are talking about. Good luck this season to you too!
Hey Dylan. I really like your team mate. I wouldnt reduce your defensive premos to 2 though. I myself am running with Lloyd, Sicily, Witherden and Williams. Defence is going to be huge this year, especially with the new kick in rule, and someone like Sicily who already takes a lot of kick ins will benefit even further from that. He will only improve this year and I can see him averaging 105+ again. You dont want to be left behind the pack in terms of point scoring after only the second round.
I'm now running with Lloyd, Laird, Sicily and Blakely with only 4 mid premos and 3 fwds as I cant bring myself to move on any of the first three and i like the look of blakely as a pod. Agree the defence could be really strong this year!
Ripping team Dylan. Agree with a few comments here that the backs look too loaded for now. Consider swapping out Sicily or Whitfield for an undervalued mid promo like Merrett, Crouch or Dusty.
I've currently swapped whitfield for blakely, but im still not sure i would be able to get a uber premo if i now swap blakely to a rookie. Had merrett in and out of side but his susceptability to a tag is worrying… any other options you would suggest around that price? already have dusty
Hi guys, been a great start to the year for the community, a lot of positive criticism when people put teams up which is great to hear. I feel my team is lacking a bit of edge or creativity, like to hear what people think.
Def: Lloyd, Simpson, Andrews, Williams
Mid: McRae, Cripps, Kelly, Neale, Merrett
Ruck: Grundy, Naismith
Fwd: Danger, Heeney, Smith,
Rest rookies, have allowed for a 160k rookie on each line, understand Naismith is an unknown but we will know more come JLT.
Cheers in advance.
I cant access my team Do I have to pay the fee. Russty had a similar problem last year
You shouldn't have to pay mate… I can access mine fine
I joined holtys league and can eccess it on my mobile but still hasn’t came up on the home computer??? Even after logging on & off and refreshing…weird.
mine comes to profile but nothing when I click team
Does any blues supporters no how Fasolo is tracking
Yeah, broken arm
Hopefully back to Collingwood
Looking for a competitive league to join.
2018: Top 1%
2017: Top 3%
2016: Started with Tom Hickey and Jack Watts, soooooo
DEF: Laird, JJ, Mills, T williamson, M hore, H wigg ( logue,Collins
MID: J MACRE, Cripps, G ABLETT, D Martin, A Hall, A Miles Contable, Valente (R Collier Dawkins, N Hind, Hays)
RUCK: B Grundy, S Martin ( S Draper
FORWARD: Dangerfield, J westoff, J Dunkley, T Green, C Rozee, W Setterfield ( J Corbett, J Petruccele)
First time posting first time taking supercoach serious feel free to comment on my team guys
Few too many big risks in that side for me mate. Hall, Ablett and Green could all get injured again.
Mills is still an unknown
Ill see how they go threw the JLT matches ablett is the biggest risk but i have faith
I really think hall is going to absolutely kill it for north melbourne
For me it’s between Hall Liba and Miles for that mid pricer. I won’t have more then 1
This year ill be going 2 mid pricers, i really believe all 3 will score well and make lots of cash
Libba might push dunkly foward might swap dunks for heeney
A rookie will make more cash. A mid priced player is there to score premium like points.
DEF: Lloyd, LAIRD, Witherden, Williams, Duursma, Hore (McClennan, Wigg)
MID: Cripps, KELLY, Neale, Yeo, Sloane, Miles, Stocker, Bewley (CONSTABLE, Hayes, Valente)
RUC: GRUNDY, Fort (BINES)
FWD: Dangerfield, Westhoff, Heeney, Greene, Setterfield, Cavarra (CORBETT, Burgess)
Jump on the Fort at R2 wagon gentleman
Already have but don't tell anyone……………….
You just have Westhoff out of position
This team is really not that impressive considering fort is at d2. Sloane cops a tag he's done, and miles won't outscore a solid r2 ruckman. Your defence is fine but you could still have it with a better d2. Nothing amazing in the forward line either. Not sure where all your money went
Sloane will be back to his best this year 👍
Could have a better d2 than laird? Not sure im following mate
His d should have been a r
Fasolo and Wines down, fasolo for maybe year, clown about 😂😂
What?
Wines injured shoulder and requires surgery
Fasolo had what is believed to be a drunken fall on Australia Day and broke his arm
Wines hasn't even had scans….

Hi Godd, RobDogs always in Top 1%, 177th in '17 & 157th in '15, so being an odd year I'm confident of top100 this season. Have joined, thanks.
Trainwreck joined. Been up and about top 1% 2016-18, had a shocking run home with injuries like many in 2017 and final rank showed it
Are the Jock Straps crew going around again this year? – Raw Tiger
I wonder what the ownership % of premo MIDS and FWDS would've been had Mitchell not gotten injured and Danger not get FWD status?
Your laird point on losing points by not gaining marks from kick ins makes no sense at all, the ball travels 15m to a player then they are rewarded a mark regardless if inside or outside square. You're saying all ppl that kick in won't change their game plan, may be so but as soon as their foot touches or goes over the line they gain that possession.
Ryan doesn't need to carry the ball 10m then kick to gain the points, as I said he only needs a foot on/over the line and the stat counts.
I'm predicting your prediction is wrong. New kick in rule will be huge for some players. A matter of picking the right ones.
b4 you start pointing the finger about trolling, you should probably log back on to your account because all I can see from this is your the troll trying to pose as someone else. Very hard to take you seriously when this happens
pretty sure we know who phat and goldy are now .
Yep, the similarities with the 2 are hard to ignore Neil, and then he comes out with a beastiality comment, pretty disgusting, no wonder it was deleted…as he probably will be soon.
Cheers Russty. All good mate. I saw the response but can’t be bothered responding to the nonsense. They just want us to bite. However, Im not exactly sure whether to laugh at skinny’s response or feel sorry for him. To spend that amount of time to post that response to the simple request of ‘logging in so we know it’s you’ is strange, if not psychotic.
Lol. I think they did last year didn’t they? Or was it just agreeing with one another? Either way, I’m pumped for the season and SuperCoach season.
Hey Kyle, what's your Supercoach Team name please?
Trainwreck mate
Cheers mate, just wanted to confirm if you were or weren't someone who entered my League uninvited, how did you fare last year?
Oh sorry mate didnt realise that leage was invite only.
finished top 1% ended up winning a couple of trigs leagues in trigs happy place and i think maybe titch to scratch aswell but that leages a bit hazy
No probs mate, was a different Kyle, jump in if you like, you're invited to 848493
Blakely serious hamstring
Wow. Another one down. When did it happen Shake? Any idea of length of time on the sidelines?
Just that hes set to have surgery. So definitely not minor.
14-weeks they hope he'll make it back sometime in 1st half of Season. Bewley looking good for a starting spot
Crikey! Carlton are looking at changing their away strip to a white jumper with a big Red Cross, also considering changing their nic-name to "the Menindee Fishes"
Can anyone convince me to pick gray over heeney?
If Wines shoulder is serious then Gray will get more mid time.
Yes but that doesn’t convince me, Heeney should up his average again due to experience/age where as gray you would expect him to slow down. “Gray will get more mid time” could mean anything really. Not trying to be rude I’m just curious if anyone can put together a good case for it.
Gray for me. Has proven in the past he can be elite. Heeney still to prove that. Age hasn’t slowed Gray down yet plus he is a smart player so will find the ball irrelevant of age.
Gray has less to contend with in the Power midfield as well. He is arguably their best mid.
Sydney has Heeney, Kennedy, Parker, and then the likes of Mills, Hewett, Florent, Papley going through their and now maybe even Clarke who they got from North.
Gray is one of the best players in the competition. Heeney has the potential to be one of the best players in the competition, but it won't happen in 2019……Only thing that holds back Gray (as far as SC goes) is playing deep forward, as a mid only he would average 110+
