Definitely. I reckon anyone in the top 1000 or so can win it with skill, and anyone in the top 5000-10000 can win it with luck.
 
wtf happened?

hey guys, i need some serious help here. Any comments and recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Living up here in BNE there's not too many AFL supporters let alone SC fanatics. So my mate and I decided to place a number of large bets on this year's SC. We've done it a bit different and haven't gone for league ranking. we've gone for who's got the most points by the time one of us gets knocked out of the league. bets involve buying the winner gear and sporting the opposition's colors to the pub, shouting and more. This changes the strategy quite a bit... i think

I started great guns, scoring 2300+, but it has all gone down hill from there. Now i'm looking at other SC teams and thinking WHERE DID IT ALL GO SO WRONG???

here is where i am at the moment;

Backs
Hodge Goddard Enright
Kelly Waters Maguire Shepherd EMG; Nason, Farmer

Mids
Ablett Barlow Cooney
Del Santo Pendlebury Martin EMG; Jetta, Shuey

Rucks
Sandilands, Hill EMG; Trengrove, Warnock

FWDS
Pavlich Brown Okeefe
Gia Higgins Fyfe Davis EMG; Hitchcock, Gumbleton

10 trades left and only $6,100 in the kitty

NOW, i have burnt a few trades & made a few mistakes. Hille to Seaby early on for example, bringing Buddy in and then dropping him & not getting PODS early as well.

I have also brought premiums for top dollar and seen them drop in scores and value although this doesn't phase me too much as they're not going anywhere - i'm keeping them anyway.

The main problem that i have is the amount of rookies i have in my line-up. if was say that maguire is a keeper i still have to upgrade Waters, Shepherd, Martin, Fyfe & Davis. And the thing is becuase of the most points scored way of the competition that i have with my mate i need to do this asap to get the points on the board.

I've backed myself into a corner here with only 10 trades left. SO I PUT IT TO YOU where to from here...

Ideally I would like to get gilbee, Buddy and maybe even PODS.

I'm thinking of maybe downgrading Maguire or Martin and upgrading either Waters to Gilbee or Martin to Judd.

Thanks in advance.

Kenelly was statless on Saturday. no tackles either.

How did he score 2?

Did he provide a shepherd or do a kick-in? I didn't see the game but 1%ers can give a stat or two.

My guess is that the normalisation calculation applied to all games for SC scores has caused this. I would have only thought it was a multiplication factor, and thus a zero would remain zero, but maybe there is an offset applied also.

I don't think 1%ers contribute to SC scores, but am not 100% sure.

The other option is he scored 1 point for a handball receive, without getting a possession away. Then that may have been multiplied up to 2 via the normalistaion.

FYI...

HOW POINTS ARE SCORED
Stat Description Points Awarded/Deducted
Effective kick 4 Points
Ineffective kick 0 Points
Clanger kick -8 Points
Handball effective 2 Points
Ineffective handball 0 Points
Handball clanger -6 Points
Handball receive 1 Point
Hardball get 4 Points
Loose-ball get 4 Points
Goal 8 Points
Behind 1 Point
Mark uncontested (maintaining possession) 1 Point
Mark contested (maintaining possession) 6 Points
Mark uncontested (from opposition) 4 Points
Mark contested (from opposition) 8 Points
Tackles 4 Points
Free kick for 4 Points
Free kick against -6 Points
Hitout to Advantage 3 Points
 
It's CD's secret herbs and spices...

"By using more than 50 different stats, Champion Data's final player rankings are the most accurate way to determine how effective a player has been. For example, while other games will award points for a kick no matter how far it goes or where it's directed, Champion Data will award zero points for a kick that travels less than 40 meters to a contest.

My question is where are all the Fyfe knockers now? All I can hear around here is the sound of crickets chirping.

And to think some fool around here said Fyfe would get dropped in 2 weeks time. Come out, you all know who you are. ROFL! :D:thumbsu:

I am a Fyfe Knocker and i made the call that he would be dropped in 2 weeks. Ok well he played well against a poor sydney outfit last week. Im suprised he had done this well and he will be a good cash cow.

But JM, its a long season, would be very suprised to see Fyfe playing every game. Anyway will have to see, im gonna be generous and give him another 3 or 4 games in the ones before hes 'rested' or playing WAFL.

Dude, I can't recall seeing anyone knock Fyfe. He's jPod 2.0 :D

You're a good bloke, but its starting to sound like a broken record; 'My Fyfe masterstroke, 'I hate PK Le Grand' and 'Just letting everyone know I AM NOT TRADING ANYMORE.'

I enjoy your stuff on here, but I think it's time you got some new material.

Just some constructive criticism.

Nah mate there was lots of talk about what a spud move it was for me getting Fyfe from PK Le Grand in particular but also others. Also talk of him getting dropped after 2 weeks, etc. I am here to prove them wrong.

I noticePK Le Grand has all but disappeared and is quiet as a mouse after I gave him a flogging in our Bigfooty Div1 match last week, wheres all the big talk from him now? LOL!

Criticism taken on board.

I think I need to get myself a new agent who has some new material for me then. :D:thumbsu:
 
I'm unsure who to trade this week scully who is playing Geelong or Martin who is playing port Adelaide for either Shaun Burgoyne or Ryan o'keefe. What does everyone think?
 
Wonder if Sheedy will trade him in this week? :D:thumbsu:

Just wondering what position you would rather be in. 6 trades, Ranked 250th (Similar to Judd Magic?) or 550th, 13 trades, $250k (Similar to me)?

Its an interesting one, its harder to make ground in the 2nd half of the year as teams get increasing similar. I also know injuries have a lot to do with it.

What are everyones thoughts?

Just wondering, how complete is your team? Mine is 3 premiums away from being finished (Waters, Maguire and Fyfe)
