Hey Spider Eater where’s our Round 9 SuperCoach song?

Couldn't get my addicted to love parody working.
So we'll settle for this one.

2,174/20 (C). Naicos and Reid to come.

Tracking decently, although score was limited by having to field Howes' 54, Fyfe's 60, not being able to field Wilson, and six premos middling in the 80s (English, Houston, Stewart, Oliver, Jackson, Sheezel).

Still, it's an improvement on last week's absolute disaster lol.

 

[Kadog]

21/2305c
Naicos on SBS.

How bloody good were the rookies today/tonight?! All 6 starters with excellent onfield points and kickstarting more cash gen.

Comben 98
Clohesy 105
Wilson 90
Darcy 113
Garcia 84
Sexton 82

Hugo 65 & Rogers 64 solid on the bench.

It’s the premos who’ve let me down this week with a bunch of them scoring in the 80s Houston Sinclair Rowell Oliver English Jacko. Could’ve been a massive round if these kents supported the rookies this week.

 

[Kadog]

2039 with ND to come.

Forced to field Jhye and Jones for the first time with Sweet and Libba out. Both absolutely choke. Switched C from ND to Rowell last minute. Stewarts a spud this year. Jordan Clark farts out a 60. 300 points gone begging.

I’m here every week to make sure no one feels bad about their team. You’re flying catstragic

Why dafaq are you fielding spuds and holding Libba? Mate you’ve got $800k+ bank sitting there. Sorry Uncle but you weren’t forced into anything. Use the FN money, it’s not a term deposit!

My team is not too bad, but every week I play against you kenties on Roobies league - you all put in a decent score - I can’t get a win

That’s pretty bad - I didn’t have much luck either this week

I would have scored better, if I didn’t actually trade this week!
Out: Yeo, Comben
In: DMoore, McKercher

If I didn’t trade I would have fielded Comben 98 & Chohesy 105

And still had Sexton to spare on the bench with 82

SC is cruel!

 

[Spudwick]

lol garcia fell off a cliff

Must've taken inspiration from watching the Tigers play this season

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

19/2123C with Reid, Naicos & Soligo to come

 

[Plugger35]

Think I've calmed down a bit kenties after my melt.

Once the alcohol wears off I should be right to go again next week, am so drunk atm. LOL!

I'm usually a happy go lucky drunk but supercoach has totally made me depressed the last 2 weeks.

Going to bring a POD in next week in Dunkley as I feel like I need something to get me back up the overall rankings.

Have brought in Tove as assistant coach, she is my secret weapon.

As long as you still have trades left you still have hope, if you have any trade boosts left you have even more hope.

Until you blow all your boosts like I did with my last boost going on Powell to Rayner., geez I wish I could take that boost back.

 

[Boyd oh Boyd]

2103/21. My rookies are averaging more than my 'premo' defenders this round.

 

[gutsroy]

Lazzaro sub?
Dead rook now, might as well just hold and use his DPP to flick other blokes around and hope he maybe gets a game or two during the byes.
Big Chom, carn son, your mum and ai were just so proud of you tonight
Powell just treading water now.
Big Clohesy handy and you'd take that from Rogers, but Rarcia would.have been the right rein to pull.
Oh well,. can't go back.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Do i take Sextons 82 or back in Harley in a likely bloodbath at the MCG?

Harley has gone over 82 x3 this year with that 91, 108, 147 stretch.

Flip a coin i guess.

19/1809 with Daicos C, Dawson and Harley to come, so might as well let it ride on the Prince of Perth.

Take Sextoms 82 anyday mate.

 

[jdstorm]

So have Sam Darcy (116) on my FWD bench. Have a player I can loop.

Just need to work out who to bench.

Zorko (vs Crows) or Harley Reed (vs undermanned pies)

Thinking Reid goes big so put him in and bench Zorko. Thoughts?

 

[keithrichards]

2084 with Daicos, Dawson and Reid to come.

Going to be deathriding Daicos for league purposes, sub 110 should do the trick.

 

[Sherman41]

Still feeling like I am maybe 50-80 points off the mark around these traps.

Bench the first year player every day of the week. I've benched him to get Comben's score. Only risk with Zorko is he's likely to break at any moment. If he doesn't, though, should score okay.

 

[pincrusher]

2308 with just Naicos to go. 21 played and only one of them scored less than the bloke I gave the captains armband to. Not taking Walsh's VC score cost me 36 points.

I know that’s conventional wisdom but also Collingwood is playing a VFL team due to injuries vs Brisbane playing Adelaide who’s good.

Plus Reid also has a high ceiling and history suggests Zorko won’t have a huge game right after a big one…

Lord De Goey – you called it

Hell of a streak though (I was KOTD by the Dogs rooks)

I should have stuck with my Sheezel to Colby, Roberts to Serong trades (would have kept darcy )

Go with your gut. I've made some pretty ordinary decisions, especially with captains choice this week. I would field Zorko over Reid but yes, there's always a chance that Reid will have a spike game. Pies are under strength, but WC have also lost their best two players (Yeo and Waterman). Dunnow what Yeo out will mean for Reid.

 

[BuckleysBrigade]

Just catching up on last night (went drinkin)

Rookie wonderful.

Parish:
*******

 

[DT_35]

2,091 with Daicos, Reid and Zorko to come.

Projected 2,433 and will still lose 2/4 cashies

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

2 Premos on the bench and Jack ******* Hayes on the field but it's been ok

20/2101

 

[No eye deer]

Remember that scene in TWO HANDS when they rob the bank ( very poorly ) ?
The coppers rock up, shoot the back tyres out on the getaway car, the driver tromps it anyway and the car crabs forward about a metre all the while spinning the back rims ??......

Don’t forget the bank robber knocking himself out when he jumps the counter! Classic!

Wait, wot?
Melt?
I missed it.
For I was very drunk also.
I need to go back and find said melt!

Edit; all good, I didn’t miss puppies!

Anyway, time for breakfast kentys!
