ask the hack!

[Jack4814]

Excuse my ignorance but who exactly is 'the hack'?

A lot of people seem to be pinning their hopes on a man who appears to have a crystal ball, likes writing in red text and uses more smilies than judd_magic.

Which leads me to my next question, is this judd_magic?

Clearly inwhiterooms is thehack trying to draw some sympathy to his plight and throw off the scent by putting Judd_Magic's name up. INW you diabolical....

Question: What kind of bear is best?

False. Black bear.

False. Correct answer is Brown Bear

Fact: Bears beat Battlestar Galactica

Wait. What's going on...?

"MICHAEL!!"

i'd stay away BIG RISK silly risk

 

[Onboard_GC17]

Hack.

What do you think about getting rid of Hille for Naitanui - straight swap? Will teams better than Essendon be able to shut him down so he isn't going to score 178 each week?

Who, from West Coasts first three games, will play on him?

Brisbane - ???
Port Adelaide - ???
North Melbourne - ???

 

[stretcharmstrong]

I'm not sure why this is so hard to get your head around.

The player position swaps can only take place between 2 Dual position eligible players.

If your not sure go into the Player stats view in your SC page and hover over the substitute button. You will only be able to exchange players within that list.

If WALKER is a MID only, how the fK does he end up in your FWD line.[/quote]

For example Ozzy the above response!

NT, it seems your brain doesnt think outside the square (or just maybe not at all).. Why would I ask the question in the first place if I ment only that... Reread my question.. When Walker is in the mids, trade him, while doing the trade I put Goodes in my midfield from my forward line, that way I have a spare space to fill in forward line instead of my mids, then I trade in J.Brown..

Not sure, don't think you'll be able to do this.

 

[stretcharmstrong]

False. Correct answer is Brown Bear

Grizzley IMO, not even close!

it was 1 game and it was in the nab cup so while he is going to be a good player he wont have big scores each week!
how ever in saying that i would swap for hille because i think hille is a risk even tho he now will play round 1, add to this nic nat will see more game time in an improving team,so do the swap but you wont get 100 ave out of ether of them!

 

[scooter22]

Is shannon hurn worth it at his price??? here is my team anyway, needs a bit of tinkering, but can do with 100k in the bank.

MIds: J.Selwood, Gibbs, Boyd, cooney, Masten, Swift (Martin, Shuey)
Rucks: Kreuzer, Mumford (Warnock, lobbe)
FWDS: Franklin, LeCras, Bate, Kennedy, Dangerfield, Ziebell, Williams, (Fyfe, Tapscott)

 

[JuddgementDay]

The Hack,

I'm interested in your thoughts...
Which 3 would you suggest out of the following 5:
Dangerfield, Yarran, Walker, Medhurst, T Varcoe

My inital selection is Dangerfield, Yarran & Walker (Carlton Bias), as these guys offer great upside.

Also, in terms of cheap forward - bench players, who would you pick out of:
Playfair, Gumbleton or Podsiadly

Happy to listen to any other suggestions, in similar price brackets.

 

[marshie_blues]

couple of questions
do you think it is alright to start with both Trengrove and Martin in the mids
and
Sheppard vs Waters
thanks

i think you should stay with this because IMO varco would need some of the other fwds to miss a game for him to get one, medhurst well we didnt miss him last year

Also, in terms of cheap forward - bench players, who would you pick out of:
Playfair, Gumbleton or Podsiadly
i've gorne for gumby my self but Trent Dennis-Lane Watts, Jack Davis, Phil Lynch, Tom Wonaeamirri, Austin are all worth a look in the NAB cup

 

[footyhack]

up to you you could do worse and it will free up some cash this is a low risk so its worth it both will play


Sheppard vs Waters
thanks

sheppard only got 11S/C in the nab cup game. and""this guy averaged 12 disposals in the WAFL seniors and by all reports hardly dominated""
waters "" never played more than 19 games in 1 year, "" i'd look at others

it's going to look like i hate fwds (well when i played i was a C/H back) but higgens may get taged this year and see above for what i think of medhurst

hey hack would appreciate your comments on my team:

BACK: B.Goddard, L.Hodge, J.Waite, H.Obrien, T.Kennelly, J.Hunt, R.Schoenmakers (J.Trengrove, J.Weston)

MID: N.Dal Santo, S.Pendlebury, J.Bartel, C.Masten, X.Clarke, T.Scully (D.Martin, R.Bastinac)

RUCK: A.Sandilands, D.Jolly (R.Warnock, M.Lobbe)

FWD: N.Riewoldt, R.Okeefe, D.Petrie, P.Dangerfield, P.Medhurst, M.Williams, C.Mayne (T.Rockliff, D.McNeill)

I know you dont like medders but I think if he can get back to even somewhere near his old form, before his injuries, then he is well worth the 320k.

 

[Pweter]

Campbell Brown is only $320K, is he worth a look in as a cheap defender? You know he'll play plenty of games, and without Williams in the forward line I reckon he'll play a more prominent role.

 

[Spuddah]

Can you please rate my team?

Backs - B.Goddard, S.Goodwin, J.Drummond, L.Hodge, T.Kennelly, R.Ladson, B.Waters (M.Maguire, H.Shepheard)

i've had him every year but giving him a miss this year, why?, burnt me last year! but for that price he is worth a go if fit will play and you could up grade him to a gun coz i dont see him going down any more, all of the hawks should at lest hold there value

ok so medhust aside, well it looks ok, keep an eye on kennelly in th NAB cup, also you could cut back in the ruck one of the res should be a 83,400
as you should never need to use them as cover just for a cash cow i know the more you spend the better you chances of them playing but look and you will find somthing cheep.
