Re: ASF Super Coach

A couple of my players might be out this week.

I heard a rumour that Goddard, Montagna, Bartel & Barlow have all been rushed to hospital with severe cases of leather poisioning in the hands from getting too much of the ball during the Easter round.

Anyway, to all bloggers in the league. It's only round 2 and if your team looks like it's in the ambulance don't worry they're not dead yet.

Still another 20 rounds to go!

Thankfully Duckman's Nuts made a big improvement on the Round 1 effort.

Finshed Round 2 in 38,000th spot (which is a big improvement on 168,000th). Amazing how well you can do with players that aren't suspended or have broken ankles (or both at the same time)

I know! But ironically my superteam contributions from Dempsey, Hooker, Gumbleton and Watson were higher this week than last!!

Yes, looks very cheap at this stage. Lets see if he can keep up the form.

He's averaging 146 after 2 games, and if he maintains that average next week will apparently break the record for the biggest single week rise in SuperCoach history - something in the order of $160K increase I believe.

I'm starting to think of him as a potential keeper rather than just a cash cow, in the mould of fellow Docker Greg Broughton last year, but will wait and see if he can keep up his consistency.

If you don't have him already, get on!

You'd be stupid not to hold on to him, he is a freak and he can play footy.

How we was never drafted before this year is beyond me.

He was schooled at Assumption. A.K.A Melbourne Footy Factory. If you don't trade to get him this week, you really are lost. JMO

Re: ASF Super Coach

Please help!!!

I originally picked Goddard in my midfield but now want to move him to a defender. I thought I could do this as Goodard was listed as both midfield and defender. But when I click on S for Goddard in the midfield it only shows the two emergencies as the ones I can swap him with.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Re: ASF Super Coach

I don't believe you can move them like that. I think if you orginally took him as a midfielder than thats where he stays, unless you want to trade him them pick him up as a defender. Don't think you want to do that though.

I'm beginning to think that.

This is what is written on the SuperCoach site:

Q. Can I move players in my team between positions? They were available in multiple positions when I bought them...
A. YES! In 2010, the players you have selected who are available in multiple, matching positions may now be substituted between positions. Simply click the Substitution button - any players available for substitution in another position will be highlighted in the same way as your Reserves bench.


So does that mean that I need another player in the backline to be also in the midfield to be able to swap Goddard? What good then is only having one multiple position player? You need two to do a swap?

That's the way I interpreted it too Duckman. There is no point having an odd number of utility players unless they match corresponding positions. eg. 2 [DEF][MID], 2 [RUC][FWD], 2 [DEF][FWD] etc.. But hey you could still have the odd quality player as a utility. Just depends on your game plan.

This is incorrect.

You can swap him with any defender you have who was also originally available as a midfielder, without using a trade.

Of course! Don't you think it would be strange if you could swap Goddard with any defender? That would completely undermine the whole categorisation system.

There is absolutely no benefit at all in having only one MPP, because you can't swap him with anyone.

Re: ASF Super Coach

Ugly night tonight people!

Riewoldt has gone down with a hamstring, with some speculation that it could be off the bone ... which would mean 3-4 months out ...

Also minor injuries to Gram, Fisher, Hayes, Cloke ...

I picked Roo as capt tonight too. Hopefully the hammy will heal up quick.
Good to see a Saints win with Roo's hammy, Lenny's broken nose and Fisher to come back on in the last qtr after being Ko'd earlier in the game to bury the wobbles. A win of true grit!!!
Kozi's back next week so that should help with the tall timber up forward.


Go Saints for 2010!!!!

No it wouldn't. If I have Goddard as a midfielder and I want him as a defender, why can't I trade a defender out, substitute Goddard in, and then draft a midfielder as Goddards replacement? I'm not swapping defenders for midfielders.

Oh dear, shame about that. I don't have him in my team as I thought he was expensive, and thought that a poor judgement after the first 2 rounds. Glad I didn't pick him now of course. Let's hope it's not as bad as many are saying. It could be the difference for StK this year.

Glad Kozi is coiming back. I have him in my forward line and didn't trade him after getting suspended because I knew he'd be back and just as good, if not more motivated. If Roo is long term out, then he'll be even moreso a go-to man up forward so I hope he scores well.

Your patience should be duly rewarded kennas . I'm pretty sure almost everyone had Roo in their fwds. Kozi will be the new leading target.
