Herald Sun SuperCoach 2008: Part 2

[Clunk]

SEN (not the most credible source) is talking Mitchell may miss tonight!

Making a big deal about it as Hodge may also miss.

KB was talking about it and he's never wrong about anything. Just ask him

 

[fugu]

I could be in real strife with Hodge, Mitch, Ablett already on the bench, Lucas and ROK. Fingers crossed it's Clarko playing silly buggers.

 

[boppin]

Does anyone have Neil Craigs number? Bring back the STIFF

 

[fugu]

Apparently Mitchell is confirmed out.

 

[Bollox]

Couldnt ignore Pratt any longer. When i checked his full season he sold himself at a reasonable price for Chadwick.

 

[Hawkmad]

Not sure who to go for in the backline. $116k in bank 4 trades left

Current backline - Newman , Mattner , H.Shaw , Waite , Bradshaw , Head & Chornes.(B.Jones & SDT)

Trading Chornes so I have $497,800 to spend using just 1 trade.
Options I can see for that price would be - Pratt($486,800) or Goddard($497,600) although he has a huge BE so I would probably wait if I was going to get him.
or do I use another trade now & cash down someone (which i was going to do in 2 weeks anyway) then I could get - Milburn($516,700) or Gilbee($507,100).

 

[Biggie]

Cant believe Stiffy is out.

Bloody hell.

Scott Seewood will have to cover for him and Im still yet to trade out Chadwick.

Mate as soon as I heard S. Tiffy was out I thought of you! I'll be playing 5 in the backline this week.

 

[fugu]

You reckon you've got problems. Half my midfield looks set to miss and there's doubts about Lucas and ROK.

 

[Walesy]

Mate as soon as I heard S. Tiffy was out I thought of you! I'll be playing 5 in the backline this week.

In my DT Team, I've got Burgoyne, Macdonald, Stiffy teamed up with the classic bench combination of Edwards and SDT.

Not trading out Cornes this week SJ?

Off topic Im 30 today lads.

Happy birthday Big/Old Man!

No trade. Gambling on Ladson falling into budgetary range.

 

[fugu]

Happy Birthday BM. I've done Guerra for Cornes. Did it last night. If I'd known Hodge and Mitchell were likely to miss I may not have. Ah well, when in doubt have faith in the Hawks.

heh, ya old bugger!

I'll be there in a couple though...

Ah well, have a happy one Big Gramps.

 

[Coach Bombay]

Certainly alot of talk that Hogde could very well miss tonight due to his missus going into labour this morning and it seems to be apparently confirmed that Sammy Mitchell isnt playing. I wonder If im the only one out of the 224,430 coaches that has both of them.

 

[fugu]

You're not, I have them too. Latest rumour-mongering is that both will play. Who knows.

 

[Spudregus_87]

Happy Birthday Big Man!
another 10 years and i'll be there.

i've decided to trade j.morton for a cheap forward,
then upgrade palmer to hodge...

only question is, do i do it this week or next? With Mrs Hodge apparently going into labour atm...
at this stage i have 4 trades left.

i can post my team if u want fellas...

That's pretty unlucky, I NEED Hodge to play as I'm already one down thanks to Stiffy and my only chance of a playing midfield emergency is Browne who is on the extended interchange, and even if he does play it would be 50+ points below what Hodge will get.

I have 2 playing forward emergencies which I don't need and none anywhere else when I do need them, how's that for luck.

I'd only do that trade if you have a playing emergency. He'll probably drop 10k+ next week if he does play this week as his b/e is 135 and is up against the Cats.

He is a great SCer though, easily scores 100 with 20 possessions, unlike Bartel/Boomer who need 30+ for the same score.

 

[footyfan_25]

A number of big names in doubt this week ....

Mitchell
Hodge
Power
O'Keefe (want to bring him in, but hope he misses this week so i can have another week to make sure there are no better options)
Lucas

Also Johncock & Cornes being OUT won't help either.

Would all feature in a number of sides. Should make for an interesting round (Thankfully im playing the 2nd bottom side, but can afford a loss and still make top 4)

 

[Biggie]

Is ROK still in some doubt?

Bugger.

Start Gamble or Rioli lads?

Gamble. Rioli is tired and busted.

gamble for mine birthday boy....just can't go past the cats tonight despite their attrocious record against the Hawks at the G..
also, he won't be the first forward the hawk defence will go to....

Atrocious record? Only played them three times in 45 years!

 

[Parasite]

Atrocious record? Only played them three times in 45 years!

So you guys have had 15 years to prepare yourselves for these games and you still can't win? Atrocious.

 

[Spudregus_87]

Atrocious record? Only played them three times in 45 years!

for how many wins?

alright, so after hearing the stat on the footy show, i just assumed they would've played more games than that at the G. Caught out SJ. Apologies if that is the case...
