Re: ASF Super Coach
Soft. Clearly the competition is too much for you.
If you're not going to join, how about at least providing a little bit of SC insight for us:
- Will Buddy have a better year than last, or have the other teams worked him out?
- Is Hodge the biggest fantasy footy bargain of 2010?
- Can Liam Shiels keep his spot with premiership players back coming from injury?
- How fit is Cyril, really?
- Will Rick Ladson get a regular game?
- Will the Hawks go 0-22 now with no Taylor, no Sewell and no key defenders?
Thanks!

Re: ASF Super Coach
Bud will have a better year than last year. How can he not?
Hodge is the biggest bargain of 2010!
Shiels will hold his spot. This bloke is a great player and probably would have gone top five in last year's draft had Hawthorn not scooped him up in 2008.
Cyril is reported to have responded well to yesterday's training session. The club is optimistic that he'll be right for round 1.
Ladson is a lock for 22 games, provided he is fit and not suspended. The Hawks missed him in 2009.
Tall Jars Taylor is Hawthorn's best tap ruckman but can be a liability around the ground. Renouf was still somewhat of an oaf in 2009 but he is the most athletic ruckman on Hawthorn's list and will be expected to step up in 2010 in the absence of Taylor and Bailey. The Hawks think that Bailey will be back about mid-season. Sewell's absence will be a blow but can be covered in the short-term (and he'll be back around round 5-6 anyway). Gilham and Schoenmakers will be our FB/CHB combination with Gibson, Murphy and Stratton being the third tall defender. Don't be fooled by the fact Clarkson hung Gibson out to dry on Barry Hall a couple of weeks ago.

Re: ASF Super Coach
Cyril is the only Hawk in my team so far. Had Buddy last year and he let the team down a bit.

Re: ASF Super Coach
ok I have joined the league...
Team name is Brapster.
How do you work out who is injured so you can sub them out? Or do you not get that information yet?
I have picked my team by using Technical Analysis...

Re: ASF Super Coach
You need to go to each club and see what's going on I think.
Or go to an injury list website, like this:

Re: ASF Super Coach
That website, while useful, is not always accurate. I've been caught out in previous seasons relying on information published on that site that turned out to be wrong. DYOR.

Re: ASF Super Coach
Maybe I'm misunderstanding some rules Kennas.
There is a head-to-head comp btw everyone in ASF Super Coach league btw rounds 4 thru 18. Does that mean that whoever wins the head-to-head won't necessarily win the season based on Champion Data? ie. not calculating rounds 1-3 & rounds 19-22. Does this mean the start of the private league comp proper will mean others may have raked up more/less points under Champion data than others before the private league commencement? Or is it just start from scratch and each team selection regardless of points accumulated in subsequent/future rounds played will be pitted against each other to find the final 8 and the ultimate winner?
It would be great to know.
Still five league spots left remaining for those game.

Re: ASF Super Coach
By my recollection, rounds 1-4 are practice like.
Then we play against each other, random team against team, up till about round 18/19 when a final 8 will be decided.
Then, the top 8 play finals against each other like AFL league finals, and the bottom 8 play against each other for the losers cup.
Something like that.
Hint: long term selection tactics very important in this game. I am hopeless at it.

Re: ASF Super Coach
Not as far as I know. Unfortunately, AFL clubs differ from NFL clubs by keeping the extent of injuries secret from the public (ie., Hawthorn claiming that Croad would be right for round 1, 2009 and then as each round went by, that he would be back at some point during the 2009 season).

Re: ASF Super Coach
When you play each other you receive points for winning (scoring more points then your opponent) and the champion data points scored each week are like for and against scores. You play each team once and then the top eight play off in a finals series and the bottom eight play off in a finals series during rounds 18-22.
So you could score more points then every other team but not make the final eight because you get outscored on a head to head basis each week.

Re: ASF Super Coach
This is correct. League competition is exactly like the real season proper in that winning each week is most important and total points (along with points scored against) are only relevant for splitting teams on equal wins.
Last year the Bulldogs were the highest scoring team in the league overall but only finished 3rd on win/loss - same thing can happen in SuperCoach.
There is a separate overall competition for most points for the year, with a $50K or something prize at the end. You should choose at the beginning of the year whether you are going for a league win or an overall points win, because it will probably impact on both your initial team selection and your trading decisions throughout the year.

Re: ASF Super Coach
Just one spot left.
I could remove Kevin Sheedy's team if anyone else wants to join. Just let me know.
