Herald Sun AFL Super Coach

[Sean K]

anyone here do AFL dreamteam?

I did last year but just found the interface with SC better and there was a critical mass at SC which made it superior. Things like the Fox Footy SC program are only going to make SC more popular. It has an industry of its own right now. Amazing evolution of supporters integration with the game. I'm addicted...

2111 this week - a bit disappointing.

2088.

It was a tough week with some premiums off the boil and some no-names running amok. Who the hell is Matt Rosa?

I've only got 14 trades left but feel like I need to get GAJ in this week. Or, maybe he'll come back in value a little more....

I have 12. Haven't done anything this week either. I would like to make 5 more upgrades... but I dont think it is going to happen.

Need 5 for the finals I reckon, maybe 6. I'm trying to aim for that. Just have to upgrade about 6 x GWS players in the mean time. The byes are looking untidy for the average....

Par score for bye weeks will be 1600-1900 range IMO. Couldn't see anyone having 22 on the field for all weeks...

I had a shocker last week after the MRB. Disappointing display by Sean's Prawns. Especially by my lock-in captain, GAJ.

Looking even worse this week with 2 x hundred pointers on the pine. Goddard has a brain snap, and Martin does what young guys do: Have a beer and sleep in. 2 weeks for that? More to it you'd think.

Been an average year from the Prawns.

Yeah I got a few out too, Franklin will probably miss too you wouldn't think they would risk him against GWS.

Arrrrg, Pendles has another week off. Comment by Collingwood, 'it was always going to be a 6 week injury'. Huh? They said 3-4!!!!

I'm getting smashed by injuries and suspensions (and poor rookie choices) this year. I don't think I'll even finish top 100000 at this rate.

Me too. And suspensions. At the wrong end of the season. My rookies have been OK but some old hands have failed me. Harvey has had a shocker, Martin has got worse not better, Goddard down, Burgoyne poor choice, grrr. Pretty happy with Zorko and Giles though. Zorko Super Coach champ of the year. Incredible.

 

[Sean K]

Coming down to the business end of the season and I'm struggling. Too many Premiums being ordinary and Cows gone Turkey.

Ryder a loss for me. Looks like 4 weeks. I have to trade as he's been my ruck plank. Giles a luxury. So,... I wish I could find some room for a Cox but I'm tight on.

Good news though, Pendles back! I held and held, and he's in. Probably only for 3 quarters though. I hope he's the same player, I think so. Get in there Pendles and score!!

I'm about to start kicking out my last bench players across the lines to create some cash for upgrades and rely on DPP to cope with injuries. 2 rounds too early for that, but fingers crossed!

 

[Sean K]

I went for Cox after he scored that 200 thinking he was on the blitz and he's scored two 70s for me. doh!!

Still, headed for close to 2400 this week thanks to GAJ as my C.

Just realised I'm leading our league.

Might give Hirdy call later to give him a few pointers considering how Essendon have been going.

Nice.

Can you tell him to play Stanton off the half back flank this week. Or, play him on Mitchell so he can be reminded how to get the ball again.

All valid points and I will be sure to pass them on.

Sadly I added Stanton to my squad before round 5. I was hesitant considering the love/hate relationship I have for him and the pain he has put me through in the past. Following his inclusion in my side, I believed I was a genius. He was actually playing like an elite footballer. After round 8 I put money on him to win the Brownlow. Figured it was about time he paid back for what I've had to endure. Since then he has only cracked 100 once in supercoach and probably hasn't polled one Brownlow vote. Never again Stanton. NEVER AGAIN.

 

[Ves]

I was 1st in the league at the half-way point. Cannot believe I am still as high as 4th currently after my scores have fallen off a cliff since the bye rounds started.

 

[Sean K]

Not watching the game but GAJ scored 105 to half time. Must be having a cracking game.

 

[Ves]

Looks like I have somehow managed to qualify for the preliminary final and score a week off!! Very pleased with that after the year I have had. Please bring me some good luck I only have one trade left.

Yeah, I managed that in three of my four leagues. Unfortunately, in the one that matters, I'm through to the Prelim in the bottom half of the league. doh! No trades left so I'm in trouble if I get a couple of injuries.
