Holding on to Ablett. Going to have to get him back in if I traded him, so for now am going to focus on upgrading my midfield to compensate for him. Will be damaging when he's back.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, sure they're both undefeated but have a look at who they have played so far. Both have come up against only really one (Sydney maybe two) genuinely competitive sides. They both beat the Hawks, yes. But comparing the Hawks' opening rounds to WCE's and...

This has to be the worst year for me in recent memories. Nothing I do seems to come off. 1824, WITH: Ablett out Sandi out Hargrave late change Birchall late change Porplyzia late change Trade in Malceski after averaging 93 first 5 rounds. Subbed off and scores 38. I've had enough!

Fyfe not starting. Do I keep Shaw or Fyfe? Shaw -> Carazzo OR Fyfe -> Harvey HELPPP

No doubt I'll get burnt for doing the sideways trade Broughton to Birchall, but think it will pay off in the long run. Although with Fyfe now out (Doc Larkins said he expects Freo to get him in for surgery and keep him out for 3 months :() will Broughton be injected into the midfield more?

Barring injury, looking to only make a maximum of 2 trades by round 3. I'll give people another week to show something but if not I'll be looking to bring Birchall in for Broughton, Smith in for Ledger and/or Hall in for Pfeiffer. Really pissed Ledger didn't play, wanted to see how he went in...

2127 with Goddard to play. 75 average from rookies and mid-pricers. 109 average (120 average with captain's additional points) from premiums. Solid enough start.

Satisfied with my late changes, Lake to Hargrave and S. Johnson to Chapman. Also happy I brought in Ablett and stuck with Pendles over Swan.

Also, 20mins into the 3rd scores for those interested. DOGGIES Luke Dahlhaus 86 Clay Smith 84 Matthew Boyd 83...

Was going Hargrave pretty much all pre-season the brought in Lake instead. Thank god I then made the very late call to switch it back. Too bad I didn't do the same with Smith and Ledger, although we'll see how Ledger goes. Very happy all my mids have fired (Pendles, Ablett, Murphy and now Boyd).

Def: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw, Broughton, Hargrave, Ellis, Bugg Smedts,Morris Mid: Pendlebury, Ablett, Boyd, Murphy, Shiel, Magner Ledger,McDonald Ruck: Mumford, Giles Redden,Stephensen Fwd: Franklin, Fyfe, Chapman, Martin, Porplyzia, Smith, Kennedy Pfeiffer,Dickson Overall...

Re: Spud's SuperCoach Preview (Round 1; Part 3) + Scores and In-Game Discussion (Richmond vs Carlton 823 from 10 so far. Actually happy enough with that when I see that my rookies are averaging 70 and premiums 100.

Thompson I'd say would be more of a POD than Selwood, and if the Crows actually are on the up this year than he could be prove to be an even better inclusion. Doesn't really look like slowing down anytime soon. Murphy or Dal Santo?

Lake S. Johnson or Chappy?

Definitely option 2, especially after Giles' performance on Saturday. I reckon Giles looks set to average 80-90, which will probably only be about 20 less than Cox this season as I don't think he will continue to average 120. You're also more likely (if not guaranteed) to get more consistent...

451 from 6 Kennedy 104 Bugg 89 Mumford 89 Giles 80 Smith 55 Shiel 34 Overall actually pretty happy with that. Would have liked more out of Mumford and obviously Shiel, but with guys I'm not expecting to score hugely I'm satisfied with those scores considering I only have 2 more...

I assume he said that because Bugg is outscoring Mohr....

Very solid team. Liking that back-line being a bit different to the stock-standard, especially the inclusion of Malceski after today's game. But will he be consistent? Was fantastic in 2010 but dropped off pretty badly last year, even in later games. As for the mids, can't complain about the...

Which forward positions do you intend on playing them/ What does the rest of your forward line look like? I'd imagine you're going to place them in F4 and F5 in which case I'd say you're probably better off picking between them and try utilising one of the spots for a premium forward. In...

I reckon Dangerfield, although I doubt he will consistently score 100s I think an increased midfield role could see him improve enough to average solidly in the 90s.

Cox and McIntosh OR Sandilands and Kreuzer

Hey guys, thoughts are appreciated. Still looking out for cheapies so most are just in there for pricing atm. Def: B. Goddard, H. Scotland, B. Deledio, H. Shaw, R. Hargrave, M. Clarke, B. Ellis (L. Brown, B. Wilkes) Mid: D. Swan, M. Murphy, S. Mitchell, J. Selwood, C. Wingard, J...

Well I think that's just ridiculous. I'm not saying they are looking to transform him into the next Judd or Murphy and take him out of the forward line but I think they are most certainly looking to develop him partly as a midfielder as well. As they believe he has the capability, it will pay...

Depth. Whilst I'd say he would play predominantly a forward role, due to yes his breakout year last year there, if he could excel as both a forward and midfielder that would be a damaging combination.

Defenders: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw, Broughton, Grimes, Ellis, Smedts (L. Brown, Sierakowski) Midfielders: Swan, M. Murphy, J. Selwood, M. Boyd, Zorko, Treloar (Kavanagh, Crozier) Rucks: Sandilands, Kreuzer (Giles, Stephensen) Forwards: S. Johnson, Franklin, Pavlich, J. Brown, Walsh...

Nice looking team I must say. Only real concerns I'd have would be Chapman and Enright due to their age but even that's just speculating, could still perform very well this season. Haven't seen McEvoy picked much, could be a good point of difference. Nice job.

He's a champion and I've almost always had Enright in my team but this year I think he might begin to show his age (at least SuperCoach wise). So maybe reconsider. I reckon downgrade Buntine and Coniglio and use the cash to upgrade Barlow, or McIntosh, but I'd say Barlow needs more of an...

Scotland and Hodge VS Broughton and M. Murphy

Broughton, Burgoyne, Z. Smith, J. Brown, Dangerfield OR Scotland, Gibbs, Leuenberger, J. Brown, Walsh (inclusion of Walsh will mean a forward line consisiting of 3 premiums, J. Brown + 3 rookies... worth it?)

Yeah, they all are a bit of a risk, maybe to much so to justify the thinking "you have to take risks to win." What do you guys think of me downgrading Dangerfield to a rookie and doing the following?: Broughton -> Shaw Burgoyne -> Scotland Smith -> Leuenberger OR Hayes -> Gibbs
