Ask a random question thread.

Two questions..

I have Ablett, Selwood, Mitchell, Kerr, Burgoyne, Martin (Barlow, Kayer) in the Mids. I was suggested Burgoyne and Kerr were risky. Any suggestions for replacements?

Also what are the experts here thoughts on Kreuzer in my rucks?

Ball and Masten?

Maybe not. You could go NDS and Trengove?

Just some suggestions.

How much spare cash is it best to keep after selecting your team?

Is it worth while to keep a 100k or so for trades later or just blow the whole lot?

Go out and buy the best possible. However much you have left varies, but don't save money at the expense of quality.

Re: Anyone else just lose their team?

Why does the Leagues tab now say "Leagues | Live" ?

Because the leagues page is where they show live (well, game by game) scoring updates during the season.

Re: Anyone else just lose their team?

Yeah thanks, the Leagues | Live thing went away after about 5 minutes and returned with a black space. Perhaps it is just testing.

Hey guys just reading the thread on the heraldsun website supercoach stars with robbo. Just wondering if people could clarify something for me. Robbo was asked on his thoughts about games being given a set amount score and this being devided by all the players. Could people please clarify how this works?

Does it happen at end of game?
Is it the same for everygame?
How do they make the decision?
And anyother info that will help to clarify this issue

cheers

Pretty much yes and is why alot of dt'ers don't like sc because dt is strictly statistical whereas sc has a few 'biases' and some stats are subject to interpretation.

There was a long ass thread on this last year which i cant find but this covers most of it id say.

There was a spreadsheet last year that was released following the end of the pre-season matches and before the season proper, that listed all the sc scores from both nab cup and challange matches. Just wondering if anyone has any idea where this comes from or when it is out? My memory just aint what it used to be.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

The HS puts it out, should get emailed to players or linked on SuperFooty or the SC site over the next week or two.

 

[chapstick]

Thanks. Let's hope its sooner rather than later. It's very helpful for rookies.

Should I be embarrassed watching Blue Heelers repeats and double episode back-to-back while waiting for the IPL Cricket?

Actually working on my Supercoach Team too.....

If they are the episodes with Lisa Mcunne in them then no. Hubba! Hubba!

1. Why does the DT board have 5 times more posts and views if supercoach has more players? Is it because the board has been around longer?

2. Will I be able to change my team excluding the tigers/blues players after the thursday night game?

3. What happens to elevated rookies once the players returning from LTI that allowed them to be elevated return? Ie what happens to hitchcock once rodan returns in a few weeks, will he then be put back on the rookie list?

Thanks

1st-good question no answer

2nd-98% sure you can change everyone bar the tiges and blues players

3rd-so long as the injury is for 8 weeks im pretty sure they get elevated and theres no real going back unless the club chooses to put them on the rookie list

The Supercoach board started out as a thread in the DT board.

As it turns out, the two games aren't *all* that different, so a lot of the discussion that can apply to both competitions still goes on mostly over there.

2. Yes you can. Just don't leave it until 5pm Friday...

3. I believe they do go back from my interpretation of the CBA. If someone else is placed on the LTI during that period, then he could stay up though.

 

[Jack4814]

Thanks for the responses

Have silvagni atm so hoping he doesnt get put back on the rookie list (if that is how it works) when those players (i think grover is one) come back. Also if I had hitchcock id want to know exactly what the rule is before I selected him

 

[GUMBLETRON]

No one's been promoted for Rodan as he's expected back so soon. Either Hitchcock or Cloke will come up for Butcher, who should be out for longer.

 

[Bombersfan81]

wasnt aware that Silvagni had in fact been elevated as yet? You have a link to this info, I thought Freo had only elevated barlow at this stage?

 

[Ingall]

Me either. Elevated rookies are listed at the bottom of this article.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was of the belief that the lockout occurs when the Carlton vs Richmond game starts. I don't think last year there was an open period again on Friday for the remaining Round 1 games. I wouldn't be banking on this. Finalise your line-up as per Round 1 Game 1. I distinctly remember Liam Anthony going down at training on the Friday and everyone getting stuck with him.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Partial lockout for Thursday games and the split round is a new feature this year. It's detailed in the Help/Rules section of the SC site.

Where abouts....I still can't find it.

cheers

 

[Antz]

And also does partial lockout mean I can still make as many trades as I won't after next Thursdays game.

Thanks Walesy...So it looks like we have unlimited trades after the Carlton/Richmond game on Thursday which is a good thing. Just can't trade Carlton/Richmond players. Cool.

cheers
