Game Day 2022 SC Round 1 - Let's Get Ready To Ramble

[Jiska]

It's that time of the year where we're about to hit crazy season on the board.

In order to keep some order around the place, I've locked all threads except the standard ones that we have during the season - refer #5. Will leave the rate my preseason thread going until final lockout.

Any new threads that don't fit in to the standard structure will likely end up merged with either an existing suitable thread, or the General Chat thread as a catch-all.

Good luck to everyone - this is one of the toughest years to pick a starting side that I can remember.

Who was it?

Think impromptu (over at SCS these days)?
Seymour, Thomas Hird, Cactus and Barry Roundhouse all top ten since, no?

Impromptu wins SuperCoach 2011 - renamed thread for messages of congratulations

Hello Bigfooty Friends, I don't think I've created a thread this year and it really feels strange creating a thread on myself. However, I think as it's the final round, that it may be appropriate. I will be appearing on Footy Tragic this Thursday at 9pm on Channel 31. Please join me...

We had a few winners before him but none since.

Is it too early to laugh at the Weller owner's?

Asking for a friend

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

No one else bro just you.
Monogamy all the way.

Never too early and there really should be a dedicated Weller melt page like a safehouse for his owners.

Would say they're people, too, and are just trying to get by in this crazy, mixed up world the best way they know how. Replying for a friend.

(Not sure I'll do it, but was good in the role and still went 73 on slightly reduced TOG and lower kick-in numbers in the Cats game. Definire risk it doesn't quite come off, though.)

My personal favourites.

Got love going into the last round with a slender lead and ya captain (GAJ) pulls out 175

 

[gutsroy]

This one expected, I think (still not official).
And Dixon seems a good chance, too.

So many more variable teams back in those days with 400k+ accounts.
Gaj being perma captain helped midprice teams out.
No need for multiple captain options.

We have a pretty good crop this year too ...

Make it the Weller/Brodie/Jelly melt page

Well apparently you're starting Preuss, that should do.

You believe anything I say though

No, I don't.

How stupid is it having a Wednesday game? I like the idea that the previous years GF is the first match, but why not Thursday night?

Fecking nightmare for SC.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

No, I don't.

Having no rookies from the Wednesday night teams makes it easier.

Yeah true. Don't like the stretched out rounds though. Are there full crowds allowed?

Yes full crowds.

Question, what was the first version of SuperCoach called back in the day? A friend of mine won a trip to China for winning a weekly, I think early 2000s. Good to see the prizes have evolved…not.
