Re: ASF Super Coach

The comp is filling fast!!

There's some interesting plays out there this year, especially with so many GWS options who are cheap and will play along side Gold Coast newbies who have a year under their belt and are still very cheap compared to other clubs.

Then there's the mature recruits who seem to do pretty well.

Word is that the best plan of attack is to go with premiums and rookies. But, I reckon is you get a mid priced player about to break out that's just as good. So, premiums, breakouts and rookies who will play. Obviously the only sure thing there is the premium. Unless they get injured.

Looking forward to the year! Gunna be in the finals for sure!!!

Unless more than 7 other people join our league.

I'm out this year Kennas. No Duckmans Nuts to bother you.

I spent way too much time on Super coach last year. I found it addictive - in a bad way!Time that could have been spent on my work, family and personal investments was being gobbled up in "trade" research.

(Besides, I got myself an ipad and I can't work out how to peruse the player rankings on it).

Good luck

Duckman

Re: ASF Super Coach

2204 to kick off round one. Not as good as my start last year! But in the top 10,000. Now hopefully I can stay there and not fade late like last year.

Re: ASF Super Coach

I have Murphy and Scotland in my team actually. Both played cracking games. Only have Sidebottom for the Pies... one of their best. Going well so far this year, just need some rookies to keep scoring and the cash for upgrades will come in!

Re: ASF Super Coach

I have Carazzo and Scotland. Marty Clarke for the Pies. Almost traded down Scotland for Dempsey yesterday but thought I'd save a trade. I know Scotland will drop back $20K plus and Dempsey may leap $30K or so, but I just hoped that Scotland would come good and while playing as Carlton's 5th or 6th runner and loose across half back he'll be pretty consistent over the season. Would still have liked to have been on Dempsey prior to the season proper though. Looks like he's going to have a good year.

Re: ASF Super Coach

Rd 3 thoughts:

Fyfe, looks like a goner for months. Unfortunately he's gone down in value so it's an ugly trade out. Fingers crossed his shoulder is not as bad as seems and they just pop it back in and he's right in a couple of weeks. I think he needs to be traded.

Masten, looks fantastic and if he keeps going like this will eventually go up by $300k plus. Maybe he's just had some very good games against average opposition.

Ziebell, great first up game and still have another week before his price will change. If he has another $100k plus will be on his way to $500k mark.

Hayes, still undervalued since the knee looks to be holding up. Should be premium priced by the end of the year.

I'm trying to decide on which of the above three to replace Fyfe.

Ablett, how can't you have him as Capt?

Pendles, was always overpriced. Might still drop another $50k I reckon. Will be able to pick him up later for cheaper perhaps.

Stanley, looks like a breakout year.

McDonald, set to jump $100k if he plays well back from suspension. Have another week to see how he goes and then get on him to make some easy cash.

Martin, will come good. Just needs to screw his head on.

Lake, will take a week but I'm staying on him. Looks much better than last year.

Dempsey, heaps of people jumped on him last week and he got injured early. Only rose $21k when it could have been $50k. If he's OK lose some $ the following week perhaps and might be the time to get on them.

 

[nomore4s]

Kennas, a few more to look at - Whitecross for Fyfe could be a good move, he is killing it atm.

Stanley and Geary both looking good for the saints and still pretty cheap. Spewing about Stanley, had a choice between him and Milera and of course took Milera

I think Masten is going to have a break out year, Martin been very disappointing.

Bad luck last week when Dempsey went down I thought you had me covered but I managed to pip you at the post thanks to Bartel and McIntosh.

Go the Hawks

 

[Sean K]

I let you win that one mate.

Same on the Milera/Stanley choice. Doh! They have Freo at home this week so both should still increase in value. Hopefully Milera gains another $40K ish and then I'm considering downgrading him to a rookie who hasn't played the three games yet but should be in consistently.

My only concern with Masten is that they've had easy games so he may be scoring above longer term average. Set to increase in value again though.

I read a report this am that said Fyfe might be OK. Have to wait till the last minute on that one I think but he's going to lose a truck load of value on paper. Bad luck trade for a lot of people.

My main problem at the moment is having Leunberger. I'm not going to pull the trigger yet, as it is entirely possible that some possible trade targets may fall this week or next. Not sure whether to go for a mid-pricer and save the additional cash to get some midfield premiums once the rookie cows start mooing...

 

[Sean K]

Isn't the Berger out for 6 weeks? That's a long time to have $500k ish sitting on your bench. 3 weeks is the limit for me to carry a high pricer and only if I had good bench players.

Yes he is. And I agree; but two or three weeks of assessing the options shouldn't hurt if need be. Too early to a call IMO. The Broughton disaster (not for me) taught many people a valuable lesson about hastily making trades. Redden and Giles are ample back up for now. I may however panic if Mumford doesn't play!

Yep, trading too early can be a big mistake. Nothing worse than getting to the business end of the season and not having trades left. Shows the importance of having a bench that plays. I went 1 premium and 3 rookies so I really need my No 1 to be playing.

I'll have Goodes and Lake sitting on my bench this week.

 

[Sean K]

Super Coach carnage out there.

Fyfe out, I'm bringing in Masten as a cash cow and perhaps he even turns into a keeper if he keeps scoring 100s.

Now that I've done that he'll do an ACL in the first minute....

 

[Ves]

Bah.

Mumford to Kruezer
Cameron to Treloar (firstly to correct a bad rookie pick and secondly to avoid a donut)

Luenberger will get changed in the next week or two. Probably go for a rookie or mid-pricer. Then spend the additional cash on upgrading my midfield (especially if the rookies churn out some good scores and generate cash).

Nightmare of a week. Birchall didn't make the flight to Perth I am hearing. Not sure if I should believe the rumour and bench him or have two emergencies on that line. Don't think it makes a big difference.
