The Monday Wrap

[FBDonkey]

This is the Monday Wrap. The pace to tell the world how you went in SC on the weekend. This has been one of the craziest SC weeks in history! tell us your story...

Score - 1909. I have only had 2 scores below 2100 all season.

Overall ranking - 41st (up one spot). I cant believe i moved up a spot with my 2nd lowest score of the year! Just shows how many people were effected by all the outs on the weekend. Also shows the value of decent bench cover.

Heroes - Broughton and Hurn

Villains - StevieJ (4 points aint much better than a donut), Ross Lyon (doesnt he realise SC finals started THIS week, not in a month)

League Status - Lost prelim final in $ league thanks mainly to Goodes, won prelim in mates league, bundled out of big footy div. 5

Injury concerns - Goddard, Grimes, Dal Santo, Higgins, StevieJ, Chappy, Roo

Trades - traded Ballantyne to Pav last week. If my team was fit, that would make Higgins my 8th forward. Most likely have to make at least 1 trade due to injury this week.

Vent: A donut, a StevieJ, 4 rookies playing, 6 premiums out injured

Kudos: Shannon Hurn. Without him and Broughton i would have been in real trouble.

Thoughts- Cant believe Selwood is now worth more than Ablett!!

How was your supercoach weekend?

 

[sblack]

Score - 1921. First score under 2300 in about 8 weeks.

Overall ranking - 240. Up from 281. No idea how I moved up.

Heroes - Broughton (Now the 3rd most expensive backman ), Clark, Deledio, Boyd & Newman. My only scorers over 100.

Villains - Ross Lyon. Lesser extent, Gilbbe and Hodge.

League Status - Lost 2 of 3 QFs. More importantly moved into 3rd overall in big cash league.

Injury concerns - ROK (Apparently not right with his ribs), half of the St. Kilda side.

Trades - None left.

Vent: See Villains .

Kudos: Broughton. 4 less games than Hodge, yet only 200 points behind. Ridiculous.

Thoughts- Lyon better name a side that includes NDS, Roo, Fisher, Goddard and Hayes, or his life would be in danger from many a SCers.

 

[Hot Tiges]

Score - 2161 including 2 noughts from Bock and Riewoldt

Overall ranking - 586 (+494)

Heroes - Broughton, Goodes, Selwood, Hill, Fev, Enright

Villains - Pavlich, Franklin, Gilbee, Ablett as (C)

League Status - Through to the prelim in both leagues..

Injury concerns - Goddard, Fisher, Riewoldt (All 'likely' to come back) and Bock and Higgins are the major ones so far

Trades - Haven't traded in 2 weeks and won't need to this week

Vent: RE : Villians.. in particular Franklin.. With Gilbee, it's kinda understandable with his form slump..

Kudos: Goodes , Broughton :superstar: lol, Super Selwood.. Consistency of Newman, Enright, Cross and also Deledio, who's showing what he's capable of..

Thoughts - Side is flying at the moment, overall position took a Bradbury like ride this week but thanks to some handy emergency work by Hill and Pearce I got a decent score.. roll on 2 weeks!! Also pleased I didn't get talked into getting Stevie J over Porplyzia.. and is Gazza worth the automatic captaincy anymore??

 

[Judd_Magic]

Score - 1823. (Oh the embarrassment! ) Lowest score in my SC career.

Overall ranking - 375 (down from 343).

Heroes - Broughton (I want to clone him and have a team of Broughtons), Newman, Selwood, M.Clark, Delidio. Special mention to Grima, Anthony and M.Brown who all did a half decent job filling in for all my blasted injuries.


Villains - Gilbee (Almost weekly now), Ross "List Management" Lyon for resting Goddard, Fisher, Dal Santo and Riewoldt and trying to kill my SC finals aspirations, Pavlich, Duddy (feel like knocking one of his other teeth out), Bartel and I have saved the best till last STEVIE J (you bloody useless son of a @#$$$)

League Status - Won 2 QF's lost 1 QF (Bigfooty Div 7)

Injury concerns - Goddard,Fisher, Grimes, Roo, ROK, Dal Santo, Stevie J for having spudanitus disease.

Trades - Still have one golden ticket trade left and $172,800 in the kitty. I keep giving myself a pat on the back to resist the urge to trade and waste it. This is harder than trying to quit smoking! ROFL!

Vent: 1 dounut (Fisher) 1 virtual dounut (Stevie J) Rance (most useless bench cover since Spudrenko)

Kudos: Newman, Selwood, M.Clark and Super Broughton did me proud.

Thoughts- Seem to be going down in the rankings and not up which is bad but I am more concerned about winning my league finals now anyways.

I am seriously getting sick of Gilbee, Fisher, Duddy and Steive J, especially Stevie J who just seems to constantly deliver me sh1t on a platter!!! I have one trade left and a fair bit of cash so if you ar5e clowns don't get your act together in the next week I am trading one of you out as you all p1ss me off so much.

 

[Skystyler]

Score - 2018. Just the 1 donut in the backs

Overall ranking - 123 (up 56 )

Heroes - Broughton, Selwood, Enright (in for Goddard), Didak, MUNDY

Villains - Pavlich, Franklin, Ablett as (C), Davis (in for Sidebottom), Stokes

League Status - Through to the prelim in my one and only league

Injury concerns - Gilbert, Grimes, Riewoldt, ROK, Cox, Sewell

Trades - last week I was pumping myself up because I'd had the guts to trade out Goodes, my favourite player, for Pendles because of Goodes' new role at CHF for the swans.
This week I decided to roll the dice on Goddard just in case it is worse than expected. It also allowed me to upgrade Sidebottom and avoid 2 donuts. I am now out of trades.

Vent: how the hell did Lids outscore ROK in that game yesterday?

Kudos: to the saints for dropping their best players and still embarrassing Hawthorn . And to the swans for honoring their champions, unlike Richmond who make them play in the magoos and then give them a token fairwell game. The tigers bring all their bad karma upon themselves.

Thoughts - out of trades now, so its in the hands of the footy gods. I'm screwed.

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

Score - A piss poor 1732.

Donuts - 4 + Stevie J

Leagues - Won 2, Lost 1. Still in finals for all 3.

Overall - Not worried but actually up!!

Villains - Gilbee, Bartel, Ablett, McIntosh, Franklin, Stevie J... Ross-****ing-Lyon

Heroes - Newman, Hurn, Hill, Broughton (You're a ****ing star son), Swan, Wirra, Kruezer

Injuries - None from the weekend. All carried over from week before. Hoping to see some players return - Murphy, Gilbert, Riewoldt, Jurrah, Grimes would be a nice start.

Vent - Stevie J... You're dead set killing me. Really concerned he'll get dropped on form. GAJ, why oh why do I pick you as captain when I have Swan?

Trades - Still holding one. Will probably get through all right without using it if some players come back. On the upside, think all my opponents are out of trades so that should give me some breathing room.

Thoughts: Glad I didn't "Panic trade" last Friday. Thought I was in with a show in one of my games where I was playing an elimination so left it as was. The other two games were qualifying finals so I could take a loss in both. Won one of them.. The one I lost could NOT have been won with one trade and $130k in the bank anyway. Excellent Super coaching if I do say so myself. Glad Freo got over Power yesterday. That keeps 8th spot alive for Hawthorn & Port. Need them to continue playing Franklin.

 

[WildRover]

Score - 2100, ordinary score, but great score for the week

Donuts - 2

Leagues - Won all 3

Overall - 1st, but my my it's close up there now

Villains - Sewell!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!! U cost me big time. Goodes cos Le Grand has him.

Heroes - HHHHUUUUUURRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNN, Didak, Broughton

Injuries - Well, lots i guess, like everyone. Sewell is the big one tho.

Vent - Why did Goodes have to pile it on this week of all weeks? Sewell, was anythin even wrong with him?

Trades - ???

Thoughts: I think it's down to me and Le Grand now, unless somethin goes horribly horribly wrong. Le Grand got more depth than me, and only 4 pts behind me i think he is slight favourite. I have him installed at $1.95 with me at $2.10. Pending trades of course, snake eyes has eased out to $6.50. Let's just hope everyone plays the remaining 3 games so the best team wins (i say that cos Le Grand has more depth than me).

 

[Hondo]

Score - 1969 with 2 donuts

Overall ranking - 784 (up 209 spots). Expected to tread water but getting close to 2000 turned out to be above average.

Heroes - Fev, Broughton, Swan, Selwood

Villains - Already had 2 donuts and then Drummond, H-Mac, Hurley, Franklin, Pavlich and Harvey all turned in bad scores for them.

League Status - Won my qualifying final so get the week off.

Injury concerns - Goddard, Bock, Gilbert, Silvester - all in my defence hence the 2 donuts this week.

Trades - 3 left. With the week off in my finals I most likely won't be trading unless one of those defenders is ruled out for the season. I had planned a luxury upgrade but I think I'll need all 3 trades just to keep 22 players on the field.

Vent: Why is it when I am most exposed on donuts my premiums decide to under-perform in the same week!

Kudos: Fev - his always frustrating and he's always first on my luxury upgrade list however he's now turned in 131, 113, 24 , 123, 133 in last 5 weeks.

Thoughts- Picking up on FBDonkey's comments re Ablett and his price tumble, how about Judd down to $506K! The mighty are falling. With the week off I am going to trial Dane Swan as (c) instead of Ablett.

 

[HibSam]

Score - 2039

Overall Ranking - 659

League Status - Semi Final, Week Off

Heroes - Selwood, Broughton, Deledio and Hurn

Villian - A fair few; GAJ, Drummond, Pavlich & Buddy.

Injury Concerns - Riewoldt, Goddard, Chapman and HMAC/ROK maybe?

Trades - 2

Vent - ...

Kudos - Cheney for filling in nicely + Hurn and Broughtons HUGE scores!

Thoughts - Keep moving up, next goal top 500.

 

[Stanton]

score 2240

overall 130th moved up 176 spots this week!

Heroes Hurn, Broughton, Fev, Mundy Selwood

Villains Buddy, Hodge, Ablett as captain, Pav (traded him in this week!) The cornes bros for being average for me this year!

Leagues Snuck into 4th in big footy div 5 and had a convincing win. through to prelims in all other leagues as well!

Trades 1 left have around 160k to upgrade, will use it for an injury or trade up Kane Kornes to nearly anyone

Vent Cant really complain about Ross Lyon 2 much as my bench covered well! Once again buddy a let down, wish i didnt have Kornes, when i traded him in could of had Goodes for about 30k more, but didnt!

Kudos My bench players, Mundy came in for 103, Cheney 91, M Brown covering roo 71!

Thoughts The top 100 is well within reach, hopefully not 2 many injuries this week, will sit back and hope for my best 22 to be available for prelim!

 

[Felixes Felines]

Score - A crap 1793 (2 donuts + Stevie J)

Overall Ranking - 95

League Status - SF in SC Div 4, Week Off

Heroes - Broughton, Enright, Newman and Cheney, Grima & White for filling in well.

Villian - So many but Stevie J, Davey at top of the list.

Injury Concerns - Roo, Goddard, Fisher, Drummond, NDS, Chappy, Stevie J, Cox and HMAC/ROK maybe?

Trades - Just used my last one so l am now in the hands of the SC Gods.

Vent - Enough is enough Stevie - LIFT.

Kudos - Cheney & White for filling in nicely and Broughton who is a lock in for 2010.

Thoughts - Just hanging on now to top 100. Gazzas price come GF week for those that do not have him. And I have hoped on the Le Grand wagon. GO PK.

 

[psychobrown]

Won my Elimination Final, 1840 - 1090.

Got $345 k in my remaining salary cap and 3 trades left so considering who to upgrade, maybe Davenport -> Ablett or Franklin -> Didak.

Maybe I'll even leave it. Looked at the other results in my league and people seem decimated by LTI's and no trades, and I have Chapman, Goddard, Gilbert and Winderlich to return (soon I hope). I might go from 5th to a virtual premiership (or a sacred E-Cup, pun intended). I'm feeling cocky.

 

[woodyman]

Score - 1891, Horrible week

Leagues - Lost 1, won the rest.

Overall - 6th

Villains - Gilbee im starting to hate you. Harvey COME ON!!

Heroes - No one except for Broughton. Thats my issue!!

Injuries - Grimes, Fisher, Goddard, NDS, Riewoldt, Chapman

Vent - All my uniques sucked.... Needed Voldt and NDS to play.... GRRR Not happy

Trades - Gonna have to pull the trigger this week i think.

Thoughts:
I think I’m done, this week is very important for me if I’m any chance. Starting to think about next year.

Missing the Didak band wagon has killed me. Getting a Spud like gilbee instead of Enright Hurt too.

 

[Blue Bloods]

Score - 2053

Leagues - won.

Overall - 25th

Villains - Hargraves!!

Heroes - Clark & Didak

Injuries - Goddard & Riewoldt

Vent - Had a few trades so traded out Fisher for Hargraves who scored his worst for the season 48, my reserve Pearce scored 75, wasted trade and less points.

Trades - hold for injuries or if Goddard is out for awhile

Thoughts:
Been ranked in top 50 for most the season but just can,t make up the points on the leaders

Having to many Dream team players in Super coach has cost me (K Cornes, Lockyer)

 

[Shibada123]

Score - 1957. 3 donuts

Overall ranking - 241 (up 55 spots )

Heroes - Broughton, Hurn, Goodes, Cheney cover for Grimes.

Villains - Ablett (C), Gilbee, Duddy, Pav, Robinson covering for hayes.

League Status - Into the prelim in both leagues. Happy I won as my mate was lapping it up when he saw my outs on friday + he had a full team. HA

Injury concerns - Goddard, Grimes, Hayes, Higgins, Lovett, Roo

Trades - 1 left with $177,500 in the kitty... wont use it this week.

Vent: Ross Lyon learn how to tank plz Essendon drawing when JBrown n Bradshaw were kept to 2.6 Duddy playing up the ground and not scoring, Gilbee what to do with you.

Kudos: Hurn, Broughton, and Goodes saved me hard

Thoughts- Ablett Swan for the Brownlow... Broughton is gonna wear the (C) this week

 

[BigSledge]

Score: 1709 (4 donuts)

Overall: a little bit over 7000

Leagues: Some how won my BF Div11 QF but lost my other two to sheeds (the shame!)

Heroes: Mainly Broughton

Villains: Ross Lyon

Injuries: Goddard, Riewoldt, Fisher, NDS, Bock, Grimes

Trades: Bock to Enright probably leaving one left

Thoughts: Lets all forget this round ever existed...

 

[hess]

Score - 2212

Leagues - Won all three, into prelim in two and a semi in the third

Overall - 296 - up 339

Villains - Gilbee, Hodge, Bartel, Franklin and Pav all average

Heroes - Goodes (c), Broughton

Injuries - Goddard, NDS, Riewoldt, J McVeigh

Vent - very few good performances this week, but Goodes saved the day

Trades - Have to move McVeigh on assuming the confirmation he's out for 2-3 which seems likely. Either this week or next, money no object, will weigh up Ablett/Swan/Pendles

Thoughts:
Hopefully Hawthorn stay in the finals race for long enough to keep Hodge and Franklin playing. Surely Riewoldt's injury shouldn't keep him out this week and NDS... precious little info on Goddard

 

[Liuy]

Score - 2172

Overall ranking - 421

Heroes - Broughton, Hurn, Didak.

Villains - Ablett (C), Gilbee, Rance.

League Status -Into Prelim for all 3.

Injury concerns - Goddard, Fisher, Jolly?, Ablett?

Trades - 1 left with $177,500 in the kitty... wont use it this week.

Vent - St.Kilda resting players.

Kudos: HURN, Broughton, and Didak

Thoughts- If Ablett keeps playing like this he will never win a brownlow. Ever. Otherwise all good.

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Score - 1763

Overall ranking - 29th (20th last week)

Vent - **** you St Kilda.

Kudos: Broughton, Didak and Cheney.

Thoughts- Happy to only fall 9 spots.

Looks like I'll be copping more donuts again this week though, atleast 2 and maybe more depending on St Kilda players.
