FBDonkey's The Monday Wrap

[Stubz]

FBDonkey is away for the night and hence can't get access to the internet, he has requested for me to make his trademark thread on behalf of him, so here I have done.

Normally FBDonkey gets together with his mates on a Monday and talks about how their SuperCoach weekend went. Here is your chance to join in on BF. In case you are not familiar with the template, just follow the one found below:

Score - 2,314

Overall ranking -Waiting for lock-out to end

Heroes - Buddy, Hodge, NDS, L.Anthony, ROK, Chapman and J.Brown

Villains -Gilbee, Adcock, Malceski, Pratt, Judd, Cox, Petrie and Higgins

League Status -Won all 3 games convincingly by over 200+ points

Injury concerns -Adcock, Gilbee, Malceski (artificial knee), Kerr, Cox and Ballantyne

Trades -Adcock to premium defender ($482,100), not 100% sure who ATM

Vent: Judd's 95 as captain was unacceptable, he is meant to be a SC nigel, big expectations and he choked, he should of really put Richmond to the sword. Adcock thanks a lot your meant to be durable and you go ahead and do your knee, cheers mate. Pratt although I'm glad you got reported for assaulting Malceski, you did my SC team no good as I had to start the spud once again. If I had more trades I would get rid of you Malceski, but you are worthless now... Your $100,000 of Z.Dawson's price, that just tells you what your year has been like.

Kudos: NDS continuing to deliver for me since RD1, L.Anthony the Broughton of the midfield, Buddy and Hodge for being heroes and capitalising on SC momentum points

Thoughts -Changed Judd to captain and NDS to vice at the very last second, cost me 108 points, doh! 1 trade left but a very strong team on paper and okay coverage, can I survive or am I dead man walking?

How was your SuperCoach weekend?

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Score - 2342

Overall ranking - 8th (8th last week aswell!)

Heroes - BUDDY!, Chappy, Anthony, J.Brown, Power, Sewell(C), Didak, Broughton

Villains - Chad, Grimes, Gilbert, Higgins

League Status - On top in every league, won all games again

Injury concerns - Cox, Sandi

Trades - Maybe Cox

Vent: **** you Chad. I could've kept Ellis on the field and got an extra 2 points!

Kudos: My forwards, all of them got above 95 except Higgins. Kudos to Sewell for getting 135 as captain after being on 14 at Qtr time.

Thoughts - Went from 8th to 8th, what a waste of a week!

Still very happy to be top 10 though.

 

[sblack]

Score - 2444

Overall ranking - 845 down to 441 (404 place move)

Heroes - NDS (c), Brown, Drummo, ROK, Chapman, Broughton, Anthony, Boyd, Rich, Aker, Lids, Goddard...

Villains - Cox, Grimes, Higgins, Gilbee, Fisher, Newman, Bartel

League Status - Well placed...

Injury concerns - Cox

Trades - Maybe Cox

Vent: ****ing Cox...Gilbee sucking. Fisher sucking.

Kudos: Avoided the bad captains, aka Roo, Judd, Bartel. NDS rules. Broughton rules. Same goes to Rich and Anthony.

Thoughts - Moving up fast...watch out

 

[RevDog]

Score; 2,083

Overall ranking; 2,206 ( -230)

Heroes; Franklin, Dal Santo, Brown, Broughton, Anthony, Goddard and Power.

Villains; Cox, Grimes, Gilbee, Higgins, Fisher, Selwood, Cornes and Adcock.

League status; Can't complain.

Injury concerns; Cox and Adcock.

Trades; Adcock to a premium, see how Cox is first.

Vent; Even when I bring in guns like I have over the past month or so I am still only scoring average scores, doesn't help with a few premiums out but still. Bad captain choice in Judd as well, what was I thinking I should of picked Franklin.

Kudos; Anthony covering Ablett, did the job perfectly. Broughton still firing, Brown and Power doing well and were cheap pickups.

Thoughts; I hope Cox isn't out for long, doesn't look good though. I am also hoping that Stevie J, Pavlich and Ablett make a return next weekend.

 

[Impromptu]

Score; 2,249

Overall ranking; 1096 ( +275)

Heroes; Duddy, Broughton, Fevola, Jurrah, Goddard & Power.

Villains; Gilbee, Fisher, Kosi, Bartel

League status; Top 8 for all

Injury concerns; Pavlich

Trades; No thanks

Vent; Ablett being out actually helped everyone with L.Anthony (whereas I had Beams which I was happy with). Thanks for nothing Ablett Bit annoyed at myself for getting Kosi when I was like 5k short of J.Brown.. oh well

Kudos; Jurrah (I was happy with 70 last week hey but 133 is better

Thoughts; When will all three of Kosi, Fevola and Duddy run riot as it appears these three amigos have turn playing sh1t.... Also when Pavlich is back who do I start on the bench between Kosi, Fevola, Duddy, Jurrah? Who is the weakest link?

 

[OneEyedHawk]

Score; 2,177

Overall ranking; 329 (-39)

Heroes; Broughton, Tippett, Anthony& Dangerfield

Villains; Gilbee, Fisher, Newman, Grimes, Judd (C), Roughnut, Higgins.

League status; 1st in all.

Injury concerns; Pavlich, SJ, Yablett.

Trades; (6 left, $421k in bank). Rich > Montagna.

Vent; Should've gone with the gut and installed ROK as skipper instead of Dudd. Not good enough against ordinary opposition.

Kudos; Wrapt with Anthony & Dangerfield for covering for Ablett & Foley. Don't hurry back boys.

Thoughts; Got trades in hand and lots of coin. Need to upgrade Rich & Dangerfield. Montagna is the first one I'll do this week, then have a think about the next one. Can afford any mid. Mids will be : Ablett, Montagna, Dal Santo, Selwood, Judd, ?? (Pendles/Sewell?)

 

[Felixes Felines]

Score - 2333

Overall ranking - 63 (84 last week)

Heroes - BUDDY!, Chappy, Anthony, J.Brown, NDS, Broughton, ROK

Villains - Jimmy, Newman, Fisher, Gilbee, Cox & Adcock (Inj)

League Status - 1st & 4th

Injury concerns - Cox, Adcock, Stevie J, Gazza

Trades - Will try and hang off

Vent: Picking Judd over NDS for (C). SHIT Jimmy, you are better than 61.

Kudos: Davenport covering for Gazza. Young GUNS Broughton & Anthony.

Thoughts - Aim is top 100. Latest injuries to Adcock & Cox have stuffed trade plans.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Score - 2308

Overall ranking - 17 (16 last week)

Heroes - BUDDY!, Chappy, ROK, J.Brown, NDS, Hodge, Didak

Villains - Jimmy, Selwood, Grimes, Fisher, Gilbee, Cox & Adcock (Inj)

League Status - Don't care

Injury concerns - Cox, Adcock, Gazza

Trades -i wish

Vent: Picking Goddard over NDS for (C). No cover for Gaz, gee i wish i had Anthony! Adcock with his weak knee.

Kudos: Dont really have any.

Thoughts - For the last 4 weeks i have had a zero in each game which is really holding me back. Another 400 points wouold have seen me in top 3. Oh well this is what happens. Hope to remain top 500 for years end.

 

[woodyman]

Score - 2357

Overall ranking – 11th (up 3 spots)

Heroes – Hodge, Drummond, NDS (c), Anthony, J Brown

Villains – Grimes(benched broughton), Newman, fisher, Gilbee, Selwood, Pendles, M Brown, Harvey

League Status – Dont care

Injury concerns - Cox and need pav back

Trades – Maybe cox depending

Vent: Benching Broughton when I was close to benching Fisher or grimes or even Gilbee, any would have worked... Would have made a big difference

Kudos: NDS getting a great score as capt. Anthony for being a gun.

Thoughts – Need some of my unique players to hit form, still in touch but the unique players I have are struggling and the ones I dont have are killing it.

 

[dlanod]

Score - 2106

Overall ranking – 1050 (down 150)

Heroes – My forward line (Brown, Chapman, Franklin, Deledio, Porplyzia)

Villains – My midfield (Bartel, Higgins, Judd (c))

League Status – Still undefated

Injury concerns - Cox

Trades – Cox, depending on word later this week. Headlines stating he might miss the rest of the season isn't encouraging.

Vent: a) Bad captain selection. b) Sick of scoring 0s in my forward line with Pavlich and SJ after 0s in the ruck with Cox. c) Dropping out of the top 1000.

Kudos: The Lions for rolling Geelong. If only I'd had the guts to go for Brown as captain.

Thoughts – My aims of league glory and finishing in the top 1000 seem to be coming into conflict now with only three trades left. Obviously Cox should go out for the latter, but that'll only leave me two trades come finals.

injury concerns, cox, possibly my bulldog pair in gilbee and higgins

trades, with only three left, cox maybe, got vickery who seems to be improving.

vents, bad skippper choice, judd. other than that, highest score for the year for me. so can't complain too much i guess

kudos, liam anthony. with ablett down for the week, brought him in for robinson. enough said.

thoughts, got stevie j, ablett back this week, so am looking forward to that against melbourne. i believe with cox, i'll wait and see. i wanted to upgrade rich to a premium and i still can if i want to be really risky.

i have one emergency in each area, except now for the cox injury. so hopefully i keep climbing the ladder.

 

[WildRover]

Score - 2467

Overall ranking – 1st (4th last week)

Heroes – Forward line (minus Ballantyne fillin in), Anthony great coverage and Sewell for solid captain performance, Judd/Bartel for being a lot of peoples captains and doin crapola!

Villains – Hard to whinge about Ballantyne as he is covering, but still. Fisher is useless...

League Status – Winning all of them and possibly the biggest win in SC history in my crap league...

Injury concerns - Cox obviously, Pav too...

Trades – Cox seems the obvious one....

Vent: Wish it was 31st August....

Kudos: Liam Anthony, what can i say, what a great job he did....

Thoughts – Keep a cool, calm, level head....

 

[Bloods]

Score - 2245

Overall Ranking - 689 (Up 97 spots)

Hereoes - Sewell (c), Anthony, Broughton, Drummond, Power, Porplyzia, O'Keefe, Otten, Hodge, McIntosh.

Villains - Cox, Bartel, Higgins, Roughead, Newman, Fisher.

League Status - 1st, 1st, 3rd.

Injury Concerns - Cox, Pavlich.

Trades - Probably Cox. Wish I'd traded him when he first got injured. Probably would've gone for Sandilands though so might've been facing the same problem anyway.

Thoughts - Happy to climb the overall ladder again. Cox is the big worry and hoping to get Pavlich back.

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

Score - 2132

Overall - Don't care but never in the top 10,000!

Leagues - 1st, 1st equal, 3rd.

Matches - Won all 3

Heroes - Buddy, Anthony, Swan, Broughton, Wirra, Kruezer, Jurrah, Harding, McIntosh, Rich... Nice list that one..

Villains - Gilbert, Newman, Bartel, Judd, Higgins and the spud to end all spuds.. Garlett....

Injuries - Ablett.. WTF is going on there??? Where's Pav?? Stevie J, come back please.... That's $1.5m sitting on the pine!

Trades - Maybe Pendlebury... Maybe Harvey.... Working on padding out my fwd line. Should of got on Murphy last week...

Vent - Why o why did I chose Judd over Swan as Captain??? Should of known better.

Kudos - To me for trading in Jurrah & Anthony.

Thoughts - Well done to Buddy... Keep going son, I wonder how many people got the shits with you and traded you out??? Might prove to be the SC blunder of the year if you did.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Score - 2255
Overall - 567 (+105)

Leagues - 1st, 4th.

Matches - Won both

Heroes - Buddy, Didak, Fevola, Chapman, Dal Santo, Hodge (captain)

Villains - Newman, Judd, Lockyer, Gilbee, J. Selwood, J. Corey, Jolly

Injuries - Adcock, S. Johnson (don't know WTF is going on there. Now listed as indefinite).

Trades - Adcock, maybe Stevie J. If I trade both it leaves me with 0
trades. Having Suban instead of Broughton is killing me!

Vent - Only 1 of my midfielders scored over 100 this week. Disgusting!

Kudos - None this week really although Hodge is back!

Thoughts - Pretty much down to no trades now. Going to have to keep my fingers firmly crossed!

 

[Hondo]

Score - 2254 - with a donut for Ablett

Overall ranking – 2609 (up about 800 spots)

Heroes – Drummond, Bock, Broughton, Goddard, Anthony, Swan, Kornes, Kruezer, Fev, Franklin, J Brown, Deledio

Villains – Newman, Gilbert, Cox, Selwood, Harvey

League Status – Equal second

Injury concerns - Cox and Pav

Trades – 6 left. This week was planning on Hartlett - Pendles but with Liam Anthony going so well I am considering whether that's now a luxury trade I could put to better use elsewhere. If Cox is a LTI that will force a trade.

Vent: Judd let me down for the second time as (c) this year

Kudos: Anthony after I kept him all this time. Buddy for finally doing something.

Thoughts – My more unique players are hitting form finally so I feel my team is well placed to maybe crack top 1500 AND do well in my league.

 

[Skystyler]

Score - 2295

Overall - 155 (up 31)
Leagues - irrelevent

Heroes - All the usual suspects everybody has - ROK(c), Buddy, Anthony, Sewell, Broughton, McIntosh, Drummond, Lids, Didak

Villains - the guys I really need to play well to make up any ground - Dempsey, Mundy, Stokes

Injuries - Ablett. Pav. Cox. Need Pav back and how.

Trades - Probably none.

Vent - Why do I still have all these Freo rookies/spuds in my team?

Kudos - To me for choosing ROK as captain over Judd or Selwood

Thoughts - To all those tools who were banging on about Drummond being injury prone and Adcock being the wiser pick - GET A FULL KNEE RECO UP THE DATE, LOSERS!!!!

 

[dUkezz]

Score - 2332

Overall - about 2000 lol after a real bad start to the year... i mean really bad start
Leagues - won all 3, 2 of them by over 1000 (crap league)

Heroes - well 14 scores over 95 really helped, where do i start...
lake cross leon judd fev rok broughton brown drummond rich chappy buddy mitchell bigmacintosh, also houlihan scoring a solid 87

Villains - didnt really have any, to scrape the bottom of the barrel id say judd only 95 as capt after being on 46 at qtr time, probably deboer and ballantyne scoring 91 between them filling in for ablett and pav, peter burgoyne disapointing vs melb
Injuries - only pav and gaz, hopefully both back this week... also not having cox is awesome... looks gone for the year now

Trades - none, just traded out ziebell> ballantyne and m.brown to leon last week so it worked out

Vent - mmm my team is starting to perform with rok being a star now and browny and co hitting there straps... so y cant burgoyne and fisher pick it up aswell?

Kudos - buddy, rok chappy broughton... the list goes on

Thoughts- team starting to improve rapidly, once i get a full team should be aiming for 2400 consistently

 

[HibSam]

Score - 2,311

Overall Ranking - 2,153 (+1,021)

Heros - Captain O'Keefe, Hodge, Drummond, Broughton, Anthony, Kornes, Chapman, Rich and Deledio

Villians - Newman and Cox.

League(s) status - 2nd & 9th

Injury Concerns - Cox and Pavlich.

Trades - 6 left - No trades this week, need to milk more cash from Ballantyne & Hogan. I'll rotate my 6th mid spot between Rich or Anthony.

Vent - Nothing to vent.

Kudos - All the players who are mentioned in heros. And to myself for choosing ROK over Judd as captain ...

Thoughts - Seems like it will pay off that I held onto Hodge and Drummond. Team is looking good with only one more upgrade needed (but it will take two trades).

 

[FBDonkey]

Thanks 30 Spartans.

Score - 2,367

Overall Ranking - 97th (up 50 spots)

Heroes - Drummond, Broughton, Anthony, Chapman, Buddy (finally), Dal Santo, JBrown

Villians - Newman, Grimes, Cox, Higgins, Judd (captain)

League(s) status - 1st, 3rd, 9th

Injury Concerns - Cox, Ablett, StevieJ

Trades - There is a good chance i will trade Cox this week. Wish i had of just done it 3 weeks ago now. Not sure to who yet, i can afford anyone. Also might go the Rich- Pendles trade this week.

Vent - Where has Buddy been all year?

Kudos - Great to have Drummo and Goodwin back playing. And Liam Anthony, glad i held onto him all year. He only played cause of Ablett's injury.

Thoughts - Good to be back in the top 100. Im still 800 points off first so probably too far back at this point. Nice to see some of my injured players back on the park.

 

[OneEyedHawk]

Thoughts - To all those tools who were banging on about Drummond being injury prone and Adcock being the wiser pick - GET A FULL KNEE RECO UP THE DATE, LOSERS!!!!

Classy.

And i don't have either player...but Drummond is injury-prone.

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

To all those tools who were banging on about Drummond being injury prone and Adcock being the wiser pick - GET A FULL KNEE RECO UP THE DATE, LOSERS!!!!

Never played more than 14 games in a season...

That's not because of form either.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

How's this for a villians list?

Gilbert: 61
C. Cornes: 49
Grimes: 57
Suban (bench): 24
Malceski (bench): 28
Bartel: 61
Corey: 79
Meyer: 0 (could have sworn I saw him listed on the wing, but he was an emergency. Had to trade Skipworth already, so would have got a doughnut, anyway)
Cox: 62
Jolly: 50
Aaron Davey: 73
Higgins: 69
M. Brown: 46

Vent: I can't overstate how pumped I am that I waited out the return of Chad and Cox. Traded Skipworth on Friday, why did I trade him for Pendlebury, instead of Boyd? How is Malceski still getting a game? He is now just above 200k and isn't worth even trading now. Aaron Davey is the underrated stinker of my team. Two 70-something games since I traded for him, plus a report. Great work. Daniel Rich and Scott Thompson were supposed to ease the bloodbath this week, as both were close to BOG, but even those two didn't combine for 200 points. All up, I had four players score 100+. Yep...four.

1832 points. You read correctly. 6/22 in the team scored above their average and 8/22 (not including Meyer, obviously my mistake) were at least 30 (30!!) points below their average.

 

[Hawkmad]

Meyer: 0 (could have sworn I saw him listed on the wing, but he was an emergency. Had to trade Skipworth already, so would have got a doughnut, anyway)

You wern't seeing things. He was originally listed in the team with Salopek on extended bench. When the teams came out on Friday Salopek had jumped into the team & Meyer was placed as an emg.
