2014 Dream Team and SuperCoach questions thread

[David the Cat]

I would suggest zero chance of a Round 1 or 2…..will need match conditioning, and form over others to get a run.

Will get games though……and fairly soon….depending on form and injuries.

 

[tenderwarrior]

Kersten is now listed as "test".

Any chance for round 1 or 2?

I would think he would need to play a solid month in the VFL to regain some fitness and match conditioning. Providing he gets though that he would be a good chance for a game, assuming his form is good

I've cut him for some other options. Good downgrade target I think.

 

[Augustine]

Is selwood 100% dead certain to play round 1?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Wont know until next week but pretty likely id say

 

[Werewolf]

How many games will McIntosh play (barring injury) and what will he average roughly?

 

[manboob]

He might average 90 if you're lucky. And could play 10-15 games. He's just too risky unless you have solid bench cover. He'll be in and out all year I think - same with Simpson.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Who is your no.1 ruck? Is Blicavs ahead of Simpson?

 

[manboob]

Simpson - Hmac - Blicavs in that order.

Blicavs will probably play more games than the first two just not in the ruck.

Hmac and Simpson will play maybe 15 games each max this year.

 

[David the Cat]

I'm a HMac fan….has more class than Simpson right now….

No rucks last year…big dilemma this year…what a turnaround!!

…They might play both Round 1...

Stevie J gonna be a pure midfielder again?

Was amazing last year in fantasy.

 

[Hu$tler]

Oh, and Josh Caddy....is he best 22 and playing in a good scoring role?

 

[manboob]

Stevie J gonna be a pure midfielder again?

I have nothing to base this on but I'm leaning toward no. But I'll give you some reasons: our forward line has suffered a lot of injuries, our midfield will benefit from the permanent addition of Caddy and Guthrie, and given the rotation limit he may spend more time forward (whether this is time he would normally spend on the bench or additional time who knows).

Yes and Yes.

Yes and Yes.

Thanks mate.

 

[The_Big_Ship]

The amount of times I've swapped Caddy and Hawkins around is getting out of hand, I think I'll just stick with Hawk though, could be the Kennedy of 2014.

 

[manboob]

They are both cheap enough to have.

 

[Dan12]

Has Hawkins got any scope to improve on his 79 average from 2012, or is that his ceiling?

 

[manboob]

I think he will improve but not much, don't forget he had a 15 (injured), 29 (ball didn't go near him). He is a cash cow basically.

 

[Double the Fist]

Guthrie is only $301,000 in DT……get on him.

Hey, this is what I came here for.
CAM GUTHRIE
Can anyone tell me about his year last year? Didn't take much noticed of him. A colleague (who isn't doing Supercoach because of a new baby - pffft, whatever) told me Guthrie and Duncan would be cememted in his side.
He's in, but I do need some convincing.

THankyou and I hope everyone is enjoying the fact the Pies, blues Swans and the tigers all got done rnd one !

 

[David the Cat]

Played a largely stopping role last year but the kid is all class…..good brain, quick, superb delivery by foot…and has performed very well in pre-season running through the midfield. The one doubt may be how much time he gets in there, but most think he will get time in the midfield…I am certainly one of them!

At that price, he's well worth the punt…and not too many will have him!

Thankyou very much for your time. Appreciate it DtC.
Are there any missing in your midfield in the early rounds because of injury? Is Gurthrie 2nd or 3rd year?

 

[David the Cat]

Guthrie was pick 23 in the 2010 National Draft….

Christensen is out till mid year……and of course Joel Corey has retired……opens up a couple of places…you can expect Caddy to play a lot inside mid….

His NAB scores were bang on what he averaged last year? Won't collect massive numbers but could he improve by say, 10 or 15%
Last question promise!

 

[David the Cat]

I would be very surprised if he doesn't improve by that and perhaps even more….I hate using the term "breakout year" but I believe now is his time.

He's in my team!…so I have put my money where my mouth is!


….and your welcome!
