We are BACK for another exciting season of BBL SuperCoach and we have a new FLEX position included, to add another layer of strategy to the game!
We discuss it and more, whilst unveiling the first iteration of our side!
WATCH:
Damn, missed the news on Hore. Do I just keep her with the idea she comes back next round and play Pauga? Was no real decent replacements for Hore anyway, so meh.
Is there any reason why Drennan's form dropped past couple of week with scores of 60 and 43 to see her price drop to $869k? She was...
Bluebaggers Edge | Talking Trades | Trade Period Review
Wow, what a wild ride that was! 😅
We review the INs and OUTs from our trade period and assess our overall performance, as we now excitedly look towards the draft with Pick 3.
WATCH:
Look at how badly we struggled for genuine replacements when Gov was injured and you’ll get your answer.
And when our 2nd best KPD in Gov is as injury prone as they come, then you factor in that of Haynes and we’re left with ‘break glass in case of emergency’ options in Young and then bottom of...
He said KPD. We have Weiters, Gov, Haynes, Kemp, Young and Durdin. DGB isn’t even on our list.
That doesn’t scream quality depth, and only difference from 2024 is we’ve replaced Marchy with Haynes who is soon to be a 33 year old with injury history. We were exposed massively when Gov went down...
Just when we thought Austin & the recruiting team couldn't stun us any further, they pull out the ace of all aces by delivering us Pick 3 in the draft at an absolute STEAL. Yes... PICK 3! Austin multitasking by cooking and playing chess it seems. Checkmate. 👨🍳
WATCH:
WOW! What a way to make a splash in the trade period and set things into motion! I recap the big move Nick Austin made that saw us with two solid first rounders. The question is... what do we do from here?
WATCH:
727/7 with a double dip to come from Noffy (C), Hatchard, Goldrick, O'Dowd, Hore and Fitzsimon.
NFI if that is above or below par, but given my ranking is 300 spots above where it was last week - perhaps just above? All depends on the average number of players played in each team to now.
Completely forgot a game was on this evening as I have been busy, and missed the opportunity to bring in a GWS/Saints player on their double. Annoying as.
🚨 WE GOT ONE! 🚨
Nick Haynes is our newly minted Bagger, arriving via free agency. I take a statistical dive into his defensive and offensive tools and provide an insight into what he could provide our back six in 2025! 💪🏻
WATCH:
We're back with another Talking Trades update, with a round up of the latest news and rumours; the SDK fantasy; the state of play in the Houston situation and more!
Thanks in advance for your likes, subs and support! :rocket:
WATCH:
Have already been shafted with Davey, Hosking and Brennan being ruled out for their 2nd games in their DGW, so I am not at all surprised another one of my DGW players in Breed will also miss.
This is brutal. Muuuuch easier managing and planning DGW's in BBL SuperCoach compared to this...
FINALLY made up ground in the rankings, rising from 2,182nd to 1,703rd with a score of 1,773.
Was courtesy of some half decent scores from Goody and Window as stand ins on their double and Sheerin going nuclear. Hodder scored what she should've in our double the other round, and Brown turned...
Silly season is upon us, so it's good time to introduce the first Talking Trades segment, where we recap all of the trade news and rumours.Among the news, Port have accused Carlton of being "arrogant". Catch all this and more!
WATCH:
Of course another DGW player in Brennan is out injured after copping Davey and Hosking last week out for their second game (and someone else I have already erased from my mind).
Been an absolute disastrous few weeks following Huntington a late out with no cover, copping a zero and Bonicci...
This is my team pre-trades, ranked 2,182nd. Scored 1,565 from 6 DGW players. Pretty annoying.
Davey getting concussed in her DGW didn't help, likewise Hosking being out for her 2nd game, so virtually lost 2 extra score. But worse than that was having to gobble up Pauga's 4. Probably a blessing...
563/8 with Ando C.
Have 7 DGW players in Thomas, Ruby, Hosking, Di Donato, Ando, Hartill and Hodder.
I had 8 in Davey, but she had to go and get concussed. :drunk:
Ah well, happy enough so far. If I flip the scores of Hosking and Davey it wouldn't be far off expectations - just one less DGW...
Recent news has surfaced of the club informing two key pillars of our best 22 in Owies and Kennedy that they could pursue opportunities elsewhere, thereby underplaying their value and importance to the side. Then there is shopping around valuable KPD depth in Young in an area where it is very...
I brought in Bonnici last round in prep for this round. Out injured.
Who do I trade her to? Yep, Davey, who I had a strange feeling was going to go down. FMD. And that's after having to cop a 0 after Huntington was a late out, and E.K Smith not playing as EMG. Pack the season up already.
Yep, so they are disregarding double game rounds altogether in that respect, given the first game of doubles are on weekdays. Strange why they would do that when it's a new strategy for this season. Ah well.
Is Bolter not accounting for the double games at all, given they are not counting the first match of those teams (played on a Tues/Wed) that are playing a double? Can't work it out.
In need of some thoughts on the best DEF cashcow x double gamer:
Verity Simmons or Octavia Di Donato.
Simmons listed as a MID online, but noticed on DFS she played a bit more DEF/MID and scored 33, whereas Di Donato played more FWD/MID scoring 48, but neither getting legit CBAs - just pushing...
Without Bonnici, does it allow more points to go to Davey?
Alternatively, does that make her a tag risk against the Eagles/Dogs? Do they have someone to go to her?
The first round of delistees have had their papers stamped, and the common trait - rookies aside - is they are all injury prone. It seems the club has taken a stance in clearing out those less durable who haven't been able to get their bodies right across multiple seasons.
WATCH:
FMD! And E.K.Smith my FWD on the bench who also didn't play.
Does UTILITY come in to effect as auto emergency cover in that case, or only if the player is from the same position? I have Window, who is a MID. Argh!
EDIT: Just read the UTILITY never acts as an auto emergency. WTF is up with that?
1,410 for the round and up in rank to sit 2.2k.
Happy with the Huntington in before the weekend, and Hosking a bit of quick cash gen with her DGW in mind before she'll be punted. Also brought in McCarthy who didn't set the house on fire, but at least made some coin. Dunno whether to keep her or...
