2009 Supercoach Discussion Thread

[Hawkmad]

Does anyone know if Monday's teams will be finalised Friday night?

Not 100% sure but I would expect we will only get extended benches for that game by lockout.

 

[IDIG]

Ahh yeah i was hoping not to see Cheney on an extended bench again. If Watts and Jurrah (?) play it's gonna be tough for him to get a spot. Has been playing well in the twos by all reports.

 

[campo24]

about to trade at cones but dont no who for
out of bock, newman and enright
who would be the better one?

Except it's not actually live, it's just the quarter time formatted differently (and presumably re-done to reduce the strain on their servers).

 

[Purrfect Pussies]

The AFL's Round 12 split round is going to throw up some difficulties in to the finalising of our teams. We won't even have the pleasure of seeing extended benches. Did it cause many headaches last year?

The second week matches:

Melbourne v Essendon
Sydney v Collingwood
Freo v Geelong

Drummond..what's that Drummond injured...injured???...omg am I hearing right??? he got injured....thank you supercoach gods for guiding me away from him...not letting me give into the temptation of others...save a trade or two at this mid way mark...

he got injured??? really??? who would of known this was going to happen??

now I am really happy with my non-Drummond backline...

I see a Big Footy poll coming - How many games will Drummond play for the rest of the season? LOL

 

[dlanod]

At the moment Voss is predicting he's out for a week. So everyone jump off now!

 

[dUkezz]

yes and dont forget the split round so i certainly wont be getting off, got all my emergencys playing and bringing in another premium for chad this week so its all looking good

Pretty sad post really..

 

[Itsblackandwhite]

Who would everyone choose out of

Enright/Milburn/Pratt/P Burgoyne

Need a cheapy risk instead of Malceski - anyone would be better really !!

Any other good cheap options ?

 

[Bollox]

...as Snake Eyes from Sportal sneaks quietly into 2nd place...just goin about his business.

 

[kangagirl7]

Just wondering is the lockout for two weeks over the split round?

 

[Hawkmad]

Yep the site will be locked out for the whole 2 weeks.

 

[Shut up Flanders]

Do i start Muston vs Brisbane OR Coughlan vs West coast this week??

 

[Itsblackandwhite]

Do i start Muston vs Brisbane OR Coughlan vs West coast this week??

Learnt my lesson last week lol

COUGHLAN !!

Or - U can go with the theory where u play the dude who's match u have lesser representation with

Ie if u have too many players riding in the hawthorn - brisbane game - go coughlan, alternatively if u have too many player riding on the richmond - west coast game - go muston - diversification !!

and 2 trades left.

How am I looking do we think??

 

[IDIG]

It's quite hard to read it clearly..maybe list the players horizontally.

 

[mondaymorningblues]

DEF - Grimes/Goddard/Enright/Ryder/Fisher/Gilbert/Hargrave - Rance/Broughton
MID - Ablett/Judd/DalSanto/Gibbs/Delwood/Higgins - Muston/JDavenport
RUC - McIntosh/Kreuzer - Jacobs/Spencer
FOR - Chapman/Davey/Pavlich/Giansira/Walker/Riewoldt/Nahas - M Brown/Krakouer

As I said, 2 trades left. League ranked 310 overall sitting 5th

 

[IDIG]

Nice team mate, nice selection of unique players. You'll do some damage id say but definitely have to hold onto those trades. Your 2nd last fwd would be the obvious one to address. What's your overall? and do u have any dough?

 

[mondaymorningblues]

Overall 6308. Averaging 2098. $16600 left. Hopefully Krakouer can come back in and use last two as injury trades, altough sort of covered there except in my rucks. Have lost 12 trades through injury!

 

[IDIG]

Oh yes didn't see Krak. I dare say after their last performance there'll be a few changes at Port.

 

[woody452]

Backs: Goddard, Lockyer, Enright, Adcock, Mattner, Gilbert, Grimes, Rance, Greenwood

Midfield: Gablett, Pendlebury, Judd, NDS, Selwood, Rich, Beams, Robinson

Rucks: Cox, McIntosh, Spencer, Jacobs

Forward: Riewoldt, Pavlich, O'Keefe, Brown, Franklin, Higgins, Ziebell, Ballentyne, Wright.

trades: 4
Kitty: $53,400
round 11 score: 2,474
overall ranking: 558 of 334,899

How do you guys think i'm travelling? Gutted about Ziebell as i was going to trade him down last week but traded Walker instead. Hopefully i can find someone good to get for him now

You wont be able to get much for Ziebell now mate, especially with so little cash in the bank. Ziebell will fall under $300,000 next week to the low $200,000's.

Only thing I can think of is if you do a double trade and downgrade somone in order to upgrade Ziebell. Then again you only have 4 trades left and a double trade isn't that great idea with only 4 trades left at this stage of the season.

I'd be sitting tight for a while if I was you though as Wright and Ballentyne should both get a game next round. Save those trades until Wright matures price wise a bit at least cause then you may nearly be able to do a straight swap to Harvey after he has played a couple of games. Will be cheap at just over the $300,000 mark I'd say.
