ATTENTION NEWBIES!
Setting aside one of my leagues for Bigfooty newbies. Want to see how you compare to others at the same stage of your SC career? Please just first or second year coaches (this is my second year). That is if you're not already in three leagues!

Code is 361138

Enjoy.​

Just your thoughts 4 scenarios
Ranks each player such as 1>3>2 etc but state names

1, Bowden, Corners
2, Reilly, Johnstone, McLean
3, N Brown, Buddy, Deledio
4, Headland, Didak, Akamanus

cheers

1. Cornes > Bowden
2. Johnstone > Reilly > McLean
3. N Brown > Buddy > Deledio
4. Didak > Headland > Aker

IMO.

Mclean will get the number 1 tag, meanwhile Johnstone won't at the Lions.

I think Headland may have a big year, especially if Freo do, though Aker might too... hard to rank.

Keep Del Santo. He's my pick for the brownlow, the Saints WILL rise this year, and he's a supercoach GUN already. Worth every cent mate. Del Santo, Cross and Corey are fine for your midfield guns, don't need more than 3.

My opinion....=......Hayes will be the better scorers outta the st kilda midfield!, can sum1 plz reply 2 my earlier post ta
Possibly in DT, but unlikely in supercoach. Del Santo didn't have the best year last year, but still scored massively. He is extremely effective with his touches, and it doesn't take much for him to really pile up the points. 2008 will be his year, and he will end up at Bartel's price. Mark my words.

Who is your ruckman now?

I think you should definately have 3 big names in the backline, though it depends how many guns you have in your forward line. How many guns do you have in each part?

Where has all your money gone mate? Surely you have about 400k in the bank? It seems like you only have about 7 guns.

You have far too many mid-ranged players. Get rid of Michael, Lloyd, Patful, Bradshaw and a couple of others. Downgrade a few and start more rookies. Get more guns, and make sure you get rebounding defenders, not key defenders.

They in ur starting 22 or just bench?
Bit of both. I forgot to say Armitage... not sure if he will start though. I don't wanna say how many rookies I'm starting, but a few of those names are starting for me. I'm stoked with how my team is looking... I'm down to fine tuning two more spots, one of which involves Hall... and the other is my final gun backman.

Palmer, Houli, Hansen, Tippett, Rioli, Bird, Proud?, Henderson?..
I'm suprised you think Tippet will start over Sellar.

For the record I do too, however the NAB game this week will give us a little more insight.

I don't think Proud will start. Great pre-season form, however too many injured Lions will be walk up starts for Proud to get a guernsey.

Bird is a swan. A young swan. That makes me nervous about picking him. :p

Palmer and Houli should start round 1, however form will dictate if they keep their place.

All this talk about S.Thompson taking Hansen's place has me nervous about him too. :confused:

I was definately leaning towards Sellar, but everyone seems to be saying Tippett will be the man to start. So I'm confused about that one.

Bird has been playing reserves for a couple of years hasn't he? Surely it's time to blood him in the seniors.

Hansen is the goods, I have no doubt he will score well for his price. But you're right, it's a question of whether he gets the game time.
