Official Brisbane Lions Super Coach Thread

[Warwick]

Good to see the comp up and running. I thought it would be nice to have a thread discussing the week's match-ups, a bit of sledging, and laughing at Grim's team.

Go nuts...




hahah, Grim's team. :D

[Grimreepah]

I thought it would be nice to have a thread with a bit of sledging

Fair enough, but I'm not smart enough to engage in the mind games. I'll just enjoy the game and play in the right spirit.

I like your team Warwick.:thumbsu: You will go far.

Good luck mate.

[Grimreepah]

This thread has been very quiet. It seems everybody is keeping their cards very close to their chest.

[Lions_Master]

Is there any people doing this or not. I might be interested...

Finalised my team for round 1. Notice that I am in the top 4 at the moment!

Cousins, Thompson and Hay look to be the bargain buys this year.

Shhh..... don't think of it as insider trading BUT....
I will PERSONALLY guarantee that at least two of the 2 of the above will not reduce in dollar value, for the whole year! :cool:

[TheBrownDog]

I imagine all slots are taken?

If for some reason, someone drops out, I'm keen.

You mean people from this board right? These 3 spots have been vacant for at least 3 weeks so I don't think anyone will join up.

I guess TFB has organised it and called for the people who hadn't entered the comp to confirm their participation (which Chasing the Dream did). I just didn't want anyone getting their nose out of joint.

Thanks POBT. Scott522 and Toddy have previously indicated their interest, but have not as yet got their teams together. I'll PM both, but if they have gotten their buttocks into gear in the next few days then spots will be up for grabs.

BrownDog, you're next cab.

[Lions_Master]

I joined via the code and my team is complete. Stay tuned for more news on the Brisbane Dragons...

LM, please see the post above yours. The 16 spots have been spoken for, but some people are yet to register their team. If you can pull your team out of the league that'd be appreciated. If a spot open up I'll let you know.

Just to let you know if I seemed rude by saying theres 3 spots available and have been for the past 2 weeks I am sorry for that I was just under the impression you couldn't find anyone to fill those spots is all.

Understandable.No biggie.

[Warwick]

I'll have a word with toddy and see what's up.

Knowing him, he would be studying 5 hours a week to ensure his team is the best possible. He wants this one badly, after his shellackings in the draft games.

It should be interesting because Grim needs to peg back some respect on here as well after a disastrous month of tipping.

I'm just looking forward to sitting back and watching them get hot under the collar.

Where does overall ranking at the completion of the season rate with others?

First card on the table..... I believe/expect I can finish in the top 2000. :D

[Grimreepah]

New to supercoach, so I'll just be feeling my way. If I can use an AFL analogy, I am in the development stage.

Warwick I think will be stiff competition during the H&A season and he'll be very keen to shrug off the choking tag.

If toddy comes good, expect a laugh a minute. Of course there's no limitations on how many fullbacks he can use, so he'll be as happy as a pig in poo.

TFB I think will let his team do the talking but expect a well timed sledge when you least expect it.

John will come out all guns blazing, will have some good games but will be too inconsistent to win it IMO. Expect the 'Murdoch press' to be blamed whenever he loses, with quite probably a fair few expletives thrown in.

... and expect blynd freddie to provide plenty of obscure quotes...;) some of which I may even be able to understand.

[Warwick]

Warwick I think will be stiff competition during the H&A season and he'll be very keen to shrug off the choking tag.

No problems there.

I've just completed the finishing touches to my team. The only problem is due to time constraints, I have had to pick a team of proven performers. I don't have the luxury to pick the cash cows that are guaranteed to triple in value. So I expect to be at my best in the early stages of the year - injuries or poor form will hurt me.

I just hope I haven't made any massive mistakes and picked negative scoring players. Who knows with the scoring system in this game. :confused:

[TheBrownDog]

So, who had Bradshaw in their team?

[Warwick]

So, who had Bradshaw in their team?
I didn't, but it doesn't matter with this one because you can edit it before round 1.

In the fantasyfooty game on the other hand, well, Scotty will be pissed.

Yeah just traded Bradshaw out.

The other question is, who has Spaz in their team?

I do, and I'm proud!

You're an idiot.

[Grimreepah]

What happens if the two remaining spots aren't filled? Does that mean byes?

At what point do we give up on Toddy and Scotty and let the reserve teams enter? Bit unfair to leave it to the last minute, because they probably need a bit of time to prepare.

If you left two spots open by the lock-out time, two random teams would automatically be shifted into our league to make 16.

I say we give toddy and Scotty until Monday or Tuesday before the reserves come in.

[blynd_freddie]

How many years have you been in these dream team things for Warwick.:rolleyes: :D

Is there a draw? Who do I play first up?

Probably gets determined after the cut-off period.

I think it could be me.

The computer has assigned: Hammo's Hacks vs. Bye.

[TheBrownDog]

Just out of interest, how many Lions players do you guys have.

8/30 players on my team are Brisbaneites.

Although three of them are reserves.

3/30. Which is 3 more than in my fantasyfooty team.

Although I will be picking one other when he gets back from injury.

5 days.

Once the teams are locked in, are we able to view other teams?

I agree. No points awarded for spoils.

[Warwick]

I believe the game will depend a lot on what you do in your ruck division. Does anyone want to comment on the strategy they went for when selecting their 4 ruckmen?

[blynd_freddie]

hello, hello, hello............ what's going on here then?

[Warwick]

Shhh... freddie's here.

Pretend we can't see him.

You gotta get rid of Bradshaw though :( otherwise its ok

Didn't treat ruckmen as a priority. Went for some speculative value picks instead of high priced dead-certs.

[blynd_freddie]

oh common guys.. Ill share my rucks.....:p

[Warwick]

oh common guys.. Ill share my rucks.....:p
I'm not saying that. :D

I'm just interested in what strategy people have used.

Have you gone for 2 awesome rucks, plus 2 rookies to save money?

Have you gone for 4 rucks who are absolutely certain to increase in value to trade them for when the better players decrease?

Have you picked 3 similar rucks for security?

Have you picked 4 rookies and spent your money elsewhere?

[Grimreepah]

I believe the game will depend a lot on what you do in your ruck division. Does anyone want to comment on the strategy they went for when selecting their 4 ruckmen?

All I can tell you is that there were more strategics involved in picking my ruckmen than any other position, but I wish not to divulge my strategy at this stage.

[blynd_freddie]

Thinking of changing team name to Freds FriarTuckers, was there a list going around last year of "funny" names?

[blynd_freddie]

I think everyone will have Sandilands, so it's a no brainer.

So one strong, two up and comers and one rookie/upgrade.

[Grimreepah]

Thinking of changing team name to Freds FriarTuckers, was there a list going around last year of "funny" names?

You're a hard one to work out BF. I suspect you may be really good at SuperCoach or really bad. I'm looking forward to seeing your lineup.

[blynd_freddie]

You're a hard one to work out BF. I suspect you may be really good at SuperCoach or really bad. I'm looking forward to seeing your lineup.

I prefer DT, for me it is easier to pick trends, etc, finished top 50 of all lions supporters last year. 900 overall

SC is harder to pick tagers causing clangers etc but fairer to effective ball users. around 1400 in SC last year.

This is only my third year.

OK, sounds like you know what you're doing.

How much does your strategy differ between DT and SC?

[TheBrownDog]

Sounds like Grim is feeling the fear.

Mining for every last nugget of wisdom as lockout approaches.

[blynd_freddie]

Last tips to remember........ Use your trades wisely, its a long year, injuries can cause trade brain fades, have reserves/rookies on your bench who will play. Cheers, BF

Hopefully some rookie elevations that are widely considered as certs actually take place.

Or I may be in a little bit of trouble.

[blynd_freddie]

DT / SC variances?

Download the averages or dollar value of the 707 players listed in both comps, compare the two and you can see an efficiency trend. TBD your a numbers man? yes. Shouldn't have a problem.
