Your SuperCoach blanket rules

[hoddo]

Pick your team on your own.

That would kind of kill this forum wouldn't it.

The best method is to pick your team on your own and then use this forum as a source of ideas. Don't let yourself get caught up in the group-think that tends to go on here, but thoroughly investigate any player who is popular on the forum before making you're own decision as to whether or not his popularity is warranted.

like me forcing T.Hunt on to people only to wake up this morning and realise he's a spaz and isn't worth the hassle

Good example is Jack Newnes, Jock Reynolds hyped player. After doing some research on my own he is not the best pick in my opinion.

Never had love for Eyewitness Newnes either. Gonna take more than 6kg to convince me.

Yep.

****ing Luke Brown. ****ing Jimmy Webster.

 

[hoddo]

Yep.

******* Luke Brown. ******* Jimmy Webster.

Those are two good examples from last year. TMitch, Atley, Rohan and Sutcliffe probably made up the top 6. This year we have a new set headed by Newnes, Van Berlo, Brown, Mayes, Rampe and Clark, with TMitch and Atley back for a return run. All ranging from speculative at best to hopeless at worst. One or two might make it .... most won't.

#1. No supporting team bias.

So many duds load up on players from their own team because they love them.

Yeah. I pick one that I love to get it out of my system, admit to myself that's why he's there, and try and default to only picking North players if they're no-brainers (Luke Mac last year, Boomer and Goldy when their prices bottomed out, etc).

 

[Pavlovs Cat]

1. Trust your gut; if your keen on somebody or some kinda POD do it and not let people talk you out of it. Has happened to me many times which I regret.

2. Rage trading (looking at you JM)

3. Trading players at 9pm or whatever time SC opens up on Sunday night.. Bad bad idea.

ACK! How many times.

The higher a Rookie is drafted, the higher his price. Ala, the draftee tax.

Well, whatever the f*** the SuperCoach wants to bung onto the end of player x.

How the f*** is a rookie more than a top 30 guy for example?

I don't think anyone is considering NVB or Brown thinking they will 'make it'. NVB isn't speculative, he's a safe best 21 option who before 2013 had missed 1 game a year for 6 years & averaged between 75-85. I like that form and am prepared to have him for now at expense of cheaper mids for JS.

Brown is a last resort in defence due to JS. We know he will average 45-60 really...

Do u think cripps or biggs will average higher than nvb

 

[MightyMark]

Do u think cripps or biggs will average higher than nvb

Biggs will, not sure about Cripps

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

I'd rather be on NVB personally. But would avoid all 3.

Would 10 do it?
20?

 

[timtamWB]

Biggs will, not sure about Cripps

Honestly, from reports at training, Biggs wasn't as good as we hoped he would have been. Looked a bit out of place.

Here's hoping it was a one off, but watch this space.

Well that sucks. Had some high hopes for that one. I guess NEAFl really does count for nothing.

Taking Brown is giving in to the fear of not finding a decent rookie defender and conceding defeat. He won't average 60 ... maybe 50 if he comes back near his best. Would you be happy with a rookie who only scored that much? I sure wouldn't be.

As for NVB, he's speculative in the sense that you're gambling that after averaging only 67 from a decent sample of 19 games in 2013 and then missing all of 2014, that he will come back and score at his past best of 75-85. That's far from certain. But is that enough for a $215k+ mid? Surely you'd be better off with a rookie costing maybe 100k less who would probably only have to average 60-65 to make you as much profit.

edit:
I should add that by "make it" I didn't mean turn into stars. I meant score well enough to be worthwhile selections.

Are you choosing Hogan up fwd by any chance?

 

[hoddo]

Very unlikely. As a Melbourne supporter I hope he does really well, but that's no reason to put him in my team ... probably a good reason not to in fact

 

[Fan853]

By all reports I have read has had a good preseason and in coaching staff interviews have said he is ready to go. Has been on sidelines last few weeks due to minor niggle. Last session was one he was bit quiet but first proper training session back so understandable. Keeping him in my team think will be worth it

 

[Kadog]

Would 10 do it?
20?

10 tackles
20 posssies would do it, yes.

What if people took Brown with a long term view of D7?

Even then I feel there are going to be better options amongst the rookies.
Don't get me wrong ... if the teams for round 1 are announced and there aren't enough defensive rookies available to fill the spots then I can understand someone taking Brown as a last ditch resort. What I don't understand is all the people making a deliberate plan to take him at this early stage.

Couldn't agree more... 60 PPG isn't going to give coaches a great start.

Does anyone start with players that they see eventually being bench cover - or doesn't fly in the face of the generally accepted premo/rook strategy?

I guess ideally you want that bench cover to end up being someone who is capable of scoring close to your starting players' scores. That's most likely to be an original premo who's disappointed or a fallen premo you trade in late for cover. Of course that means you have to have traded really well throughout the season. But at the start I reckon you're better off having a mix of premos you expect to be keepers and rookies who will make you the most money possible ... not players earmarked to be long term cover. That cover will be there from the start if you have the right starting rookies.
