The Monday Wrap

[FBDonkey]

Normally i get together with my mates on Monday and talk about how our supercoach weekend went. Here is your chance to join in on BF.
Trying a different format this week, see how it goes.

Score - 2159

Overall ranking - 104th (down 26 spots)

Heroes - Goddard, Gilbee, Broughton, Dal Santo, HMac, Roo, StevieJ, JBrown, Chappy

Villains - Franklin, Muston, Selwood

League Status - I finally won all 3 of my league games (first time in a while). Currently 1st, 3rd and 9th in the leagues.

Injury concerns - My scored suffered this week from having both Goodwin and Drummond on the bench. Hopefully they can get up for this week. I also have Hurley and Anthony sitting injured on the pine and it would be nice to see these guys get some games soon.

Trades - Last week i trade Otten for Dal Santo. Only a 13 point difference this week but should get me a bunch of points over the rest of the season.

Thoughts -Happy that the split round is over, looking forward to a full weekend of footy this week. No trades for me at the moment.

How was your supercoach weekend?

[Spudregus_87]

Score - 2146

Overall ranking - 9,500 odd

Heroes - Goddard, Broughton, Cross, Swan, Didak & Pavlich

Villains - Franklin, Fisher, Grimes & Newman

League Status - Won all three games, Ladder Positions: 1, 4 & 1 (one of the Richmond BF leagues)

Injury concerns - None, hopefully Drummond comes back this week.

Trades - With only 3 trades left, I won't be doing anything for a number of weeks.

Thoughts - Happy with where I'm at, despite not being as highly ranked as other posters. Would love an extra 2 trade, as at the moment, I'm not sure if I can manage to upgrade both Rich and Warren/Sidebottom by years end.

 

[woodyman]

Score - 2215

Overall ranking - 2nd (up 1 spot)

Heroes - Goddard, Gilbee, Broughton, NDS, Rich, H-Mac, J Brown, Riewoldt, Pavlich,

Villains - PENDLES (arghh), Gia, Fisher, Selwood, Newman

League Status - Dont really care about leagues but won 2/3. Sitting 3rd, 3rd and 1st (funny how I’m second overall)

Injury concerns - Hopefully Drummond back this week. Pendles.... Hoping only 2 weeks.

Trades - Need to make a decision on whether to trade pendles or start Muston or Sidebottom.

Thoughts - Disappointing weekend. 3 opposition players I wanted to score badly (Stevie J, ROK and enright killing it) and my latest recruit fisher had a shocker. Another recent recruit GIA struggling. Pendles getting injured in the first minute sucked.. It's all the about the unique players from here

 

[Skystyler]

Score - 2067

Overall ranking - 143 (down 77 spots)

Heroes - O'Keefe, Roo, Goddard, Pav, Broughton, HMac, Gilbert, Sewell

Villains - Franklin, Jack Z, Cheney, Stokes, Dempsey, Mundy, Ablett

League Status - dont care

Injury concerns - Ziebell needs to go. Stokes getting dropped (despite averaging over 90 - the cats depth is scary), and the form of Byrnes and Varcoe is a real worry. Might have to move him on too.

Trades - Finally got Ablett back in the team and he costs me points.

Thoughts - I'm on the slide badly. Not enough trades left and my unique picks aren't performing.

 

[Bloods]

Score - 2174

Overall Ranking - 1322 (up 149)

Heroes - Power, O'Keefe, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Otten, Broughton, Porplyzia, McIntosh.

Villains - Roughead, Kerr, Mackie, Fisher, Nahas.

League Status - Top in two, fourth in the other one.

Injury Concerns - Drummond. Hopefully back this week, otherwise Broughton can do the job again

Trades - Need to upgrade Nahas, Otten and possibly Mackie but I think I'll sit tight for a while.

Thoughts - Unhappy with Mackie - atrocious pick up at the start of the year. Got Power in two weeks ago for Chad and very happy I did.

 

[Stanton]

Score 2028, disapointing!
overall 1177, dropped over 300 spots
Heroes Few and far between this week, Luke Power was good, Goddard, Greg Broughton, Johnathon Brown

Villains where do i start, buddy and roughhead, Farren Ray, Mackie, newman, ablett as captain let me down for first time!
J Selwood, Mundy

Leaugues won 1 out of 3 this week, ranked 2nd, 5th and 13th in big footy league despite being 6th or 7th overall!

Trades This week i need to sure up my backline, had enough of mackie, just not a supercoach player! Probably will do Mackie- Hodge
May also get rid of Farren Ray and bring in Cooney who seems on the improve.

Thoughts

Crap week for me after 2 brilliant performance! will wait for the teams this week but my side is still on the improve and strong.

 

[Hawkmad]

Score - 2220

Overall ranking - 10,435th (Up 3,355 spots)

Heroes - Goddard, Broughton, Dal Santo, Otten , Sandi , Riewoldt & Pav.

Villains - Cheney , Salopek & Franklin.

League Status - Won all 3 league games - 2220 def 2033 (3rd on ladder) , 2220 def 1771 (1st on ladder) & (div 5) 2220 def 2137 (11th on ladder)

Injury concerns - Nil & hope to have Drummond back on the park next week.

Trades - None made last week & might sit on my trades again this week if all goes well. (8 trades left)
It's very hard to know what to do when the players you are expecting to upgrade are scoring over 100 (eg:Broughton , Otten & rich etc) & players you bought in as keepers are only scoring 20's & 30's (eg: Franklin & Salopek etc.)

Thoughts - After a poor run between rounds 5 & 9 scoring under 1900 for 4 of those 5 weeks & droping 15k in the ranks to 20k, it's good to be consistently over 2k again as my last 3 weeks have all been over 2200.

 

[PowerOfThePussy]

Score - 2286

Overall Ranking - 131 (up 55 spots)

Heroes - Goddard, Gilbee, NDS, Sandilands, Riewoldt, ROK, Pav, JB

Villains - Fisher, Houlihan, Selwood, Franklin - a few others below par but expect that from week to week. The other villain was me - have been so measured with my trades this year, but in a moment of madness I traded Cornes to Fisher. This trade I'm sure will work out OK, but he will be 50-60k cheaper in a couple of weeks and I cost myself 60 odd points with Grima and Broughton sitting on the pine.

Leagues - 2nd and 1st. Don't really care about league and even if I did, don't think I'll be winning the BF div 1 anyway. 1st and 3rd on the ladder and 1st and 2nd overall - gonna be tough. Got my mates stitched up in the other.

Injury concerns - none really (touches wood) except a few bench players

Trades - None this week.

Thoughts - Had 13 of my 22 players scored under their averages, so to get nearly 2300 is a good result I suppose. Reasonable week, but I think I'm pretty much gone now from getting anywhere near the prize. The teams above me are all very good and I am pretty low on trades. Hopefully I can hold out and maybe get into the top 50 which was my initial goal for the year.

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

Score = 2042

Pretty disappointed seeing as I finally got GAJ in this week!

Heroes;
Broughton, Swan, Gilbee, McIntosh, Pavlich, S Johnson, Gilbert, Hill (bench).

Villains;
McGlynn, Franklin, Muston, Kruezer, Garlett, Newman = 201 points between them all!! Special mention to GAJ!!

Trades;
Probably none this week unless an opportunity arises that is to good to refuse. Waiting another week on Drummond as his BE is 218!!!

Leagues;
Won all 3. Sitting on top outright in one, 2nd on percentage in another and 4th in the last.

Overall;
Don't care but steadily going upwards (But not in contention).

Thoughts;
Franklin is killing me but still think he's going to come good. Must get Riewoldt into fwd line to finalise that. Drummond into backline (Subject to getting through this week).

 

[The Sultan]

Score - 2400

Overall ranking - 120

Heroes - Goddard, Broughton, H-Mac, Riewoldt, Stevie J, Power, Cross, Neon.

Villains - Fisher, Ablett,

League Status - dont care, will make finals worry about it then

Injury concerns - Chadwick hopefully comes back on time and goes back to being at stat whore, to payback the faith.

Trades - see what i can get for sidebottom and/or suban otherwise will prob hold on

 

[Royale]

Score = 2257

Not a bad score all up, definitely room for improvement.

Overall ranking = 3364, up 1500 spots from last week.

Heroes = Goddard 129, Gilbee 129, Mitchell 142, Riewoldt 132, Didak 158, Pavlich 128.

Villains = Houlihan 45, Franklin 23

Trades = Last week I traded out Aaron Edwards for Didak (had some bank). Great trade so no changes this week.

Leagues = Won all 3, sit in the top 8 for all of them.

Injury Concerns = None. Would like to see Spencer (Ruck rookie) back for Melb though as there is currently no cover in my ruck division at the moment. (Cox & HMc)

Thoughts = Had a stack of solid players all score 100 or thereabouts so the team overall is tracking well. Ablett, Selwood, Judd all down on points this week. Hodge has been down all year, hoping he fires up soon. Lastly, hoping Krakouer returns to the form he had earlier in the season. Don't want to waste a trade just yet but may have to pull the trigger on him if he continues to score low in SC.

Also, this week i've got selection dramas in my backline. A good place to be.

Backline consists of:- Goddard, Gilbert, Gilbee, Hodge, Adcock, Grimes, Houlihan, Hill, Broughton. Which 2 would you leave out of the starting lineup?

 

[Hondo]

Score - 1948

Overall ranking - 3178 (down about 1000 spots )

Heroes - Goddard, Broughton, Pavlich, Swan, JBrown, Bock, Gilbert

Villains - Franklin, Muston, Selwood, Ziebell, Kruezer, Mackie

League Status - I lost my second game in a row after being undefeated for first 7 games. The tide has turned against me but still ranked equal top.

Injury concerns - Drummond and Hartlett hopefully to come back this week. I also have Hurley and Anthony sitting injured on the pine. Playing one short in my mids and defence all season has been a disadvantage. Oh, and Ziebell.

Trades - I'll have to do something with Ziebell now. Will probably upgrade him. Still have 8 trades left. Was interested in Ballantyne as a downgrade option but won't be able to look at him for another 2 weeks at least.

Thoughts - Disaster round best put behind me! Ouch. Balancing up getting more points v saving trades for finals will be my biggest issue in the next 4 rounds.

 

[Snake_Eyes]

Score - 2332

Overall ranking - 1

Heroes - Power, J.Brown, Enright, Broughton - all above expectations.

Villains - Franklin (daylight);Pendlebury, Fisher, Selwood, Muston.

League Status - Undefeated in BF Div1...Touch wood (No pun intended Woodyman...)

Injury concerns - The big one is Pendlebury. Very frustrating for him to lose the $70k, it really limits trading options and makes it easy for others to get him in a month. I'm sure Judd will be okay to play this week, and Drummond should be back.

Trades - Would like to say none, but it all hinges on the Pendlebury decision.

Thoughts - Such an up and down round. Most of my more unique players had big rounds though. Enright and Brown in for Cornes and Ziebell looks to have paid off. Power had a freak game, so many tackles. Need Buddy to find some form - a few good passes from the midfield might help ;-) Happy to be up top, but expecting someone without Duddy and Pendles to catch up in the next few weeks.

Cheers

Overall ranking - Low 1700's

Heroes - O'Keefe, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Goddard, Gilbert, Broughton, Ellis, Rich, Bartel
Villains - Franklin, Cheney (Should have used Rance to cover Drummond), Fisher, Muston. Ziebell (But only due to injury)

League Status - Undefeated in private league

Injury concerns - Ziebell only. Drummond I guess if he doesnt return. Coughlan (not injured... dropped).

Trades - Likely to be none. I could bring a Montagna or similar into my midfield. However, I'm league orientated... so will wait til closer to finals.

Thoughts - Buddy has to come good doesn't he?

Injuries from round 12
None at the moment.. Although, Warren and Wright emergencies not playing are a little annoying.

League Status
1st and 2nd

Trades for round 13
None, although Hill > Pearce and Warren > Stevie J/Aaron Davey would complete my forward line..

Thoughts
I'm liking the consistent couple of weeks although having to rely on Broughton/Grimes/M Brown to basically fight above their weight divison and score for Fisher and more annoyingly Franklin.. Deciding how to use my 7 trades as well.
