Not that it's very informative for anyone that frequents the usual fantasy footy sites, but the book is available online http://media.heraldsun.com.au/multimedia/2010/02/book/index.html

Instead of picking a team with the intention of scoring high, isn't it easier to pick a team with the intention of scoring low? Anyone who has played DT knows who the crabs are that should be avoided at all costs. Now make a team of those guys. You only need 15 players to take the field, so...

Exactly right. Considering how many Supercoach "experts" we have on this forum, I'm suprised so few are prepared to put their money where their mouth is.

Yep it's full.

If time was an issue, you could still be very competitive just by spending half an hour each week on your teams on a Friday afternoon, checking that everyone in your team is playing in that week and occasionally making trades (you only get 20 of them in a season). Websites like...

Parker was (and still is apparently) one of the most unappreciated and underrated players ever to pull on a Dockers jumper. Hard to think of a better defender to have played for the club. Spent most of his career taking the oppositions most dangerous forward, whether that be Phil Matera or big...

Leave Lucas. Anthony for Walker sounds like the right idea, but I think Hampson is where I'd be spending my money upgrading rather than Collier. I'd be tempted to start Hill as your 7th (too much money to just be sitting on your bench) and trade Collier in for a rookie to sit on your bench...

His last three games against Sydney have been 254, 155 and 122. His only game against the Hawks last year was where he was BOG and had 113 the year before that. Ablett is just about the only player in the league that you look forward to when he plays Sydney.

Backs - Like Raines and Frawley. Enright is unique. Maguire is a massive risk. Injury prone (14 games in 2 seasons) and only managed 2 scores over 60 in that time. For that price I'd rather have Hill or Grimes that have a lot more reward for their risk. Hodge is likely to be a slow starter with...

Lucas. Has been a consistent SC scorer for a number of seasons. Take a look at his last 5 seasons. Miles ahead of the other two options in my book.

I'll have a go at the Supercoach league as well.

Quite easily with so many kids and bargain basement players starting on the field. Rich, White, Yarran, Zabiell, along with cheap options like Skipworth, Higgins, Pettard and Raines. As long as they all play it's a nice side. You run the risk of copping zeros and wasting trades with sides like...

It probably is Kevin Sheedy actually. Looks like they've added an option for Supercoach this year on the right hand side of the screen (in the How You Scored tab) to "Include Kevin Sheedy's Supercoach Team To Your League". Someone in your league has probably selected this option.

You seem to be a couple of players short in the ruck division as well. NicNat is injured and the extra 75k in making him into a cheaper rookie like Currie would be handy. I don't think you can start both Kruezer and Burger, try and elevate one of them to at least a Ottens/McIntosh/Simmonds class...

Is there any reason you couldn't use the same thread as everyone else? http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=538767

Selwood and Cross in a heartbeat.

Was only in the Perth Now version, but scored 47677 which would have put me 72nd if I was in the Herald comp.

I lost the 15k overall in Perth Now by 20 points. Went into the final round with a 170 point break on second. Tossed up all week whether the use the last trade to bring in Richo or Deledio. I went the wrong way.

323,300 Had planned on a Wilkes -> Pratt with my last trade but ended up going Pav ->Richo instead. In hindsight I should have traded Chad down to McLeod instead of McKenzie and left Wilkes on the bench but the extra money from that trade did give a lot of flexibility if we didn't have a...

How can anyone have 3 trades left in the last week? At worst you should have traded in Jetta last week for any minimum wage rookie to give you 400k to spend on upgrades before the final round. Seems a very strange strategy.

http://www.afl.com.au/News/NEWSARTICLE/tabid/208/Default.aspx?newsId=66251 According to the article, the Swans are going to rest their stars in the final week. Goodes? ROK? Kennelly? Any idea who Roos is talking about? This has the potential to break some hearts this weekend while also...

This thread is a great idea. We should think about starting up a captain thread every week where we could all exchange ideas on who to make captain of our team. Good thinking.

Didn't Ablett score 250 in his last game against the Swans? Burnt a few people that day who were afraid the Swans would shut him down.

I wish all my players finished the season with Lids "tough run home". He finishes with 3 games at the MCG against: Hawthorn (136 in rnd 6) Freo (109 in rnd 4) Melbourne (138 in rnd 12) The worry with Brownie is you play Sydney in the grand final (he scored 24 against them in round 3)...

Would Palmer be the only first year player getting tagged? He's already our best midfielder and gets the most attention from the opposition stopped yet still puts up great numbers. Cotchin and Kruezer will end up being better players, but Palmer has been comfortably the best performed player...

With the run the Tigers have coming home, I'd grab Bowden. In terms of value for money (depending how many trades/cash you have left) Fisher or Bradshaw the pick of the rest.

If Simmonds is out, who would everyone trade in? Assuming most sides who have him already have Cox as the other ruckman, who is the next best ruck if money wasn't an issue. Sandi? Hille? Think outside the square and go for someone like Kosi or Jolly? Who would you go?

How much cash do you have left in the bank now? Who else is currently in your midfield? Definately look at holding off on your trades as late as possible, if you've already sealed up the double chance then there is no rush to use them just yet.

Hey crawf, The Myers downgrade is the option to go for. Either to Head or McKenzie from WCE, both should be pretty safe inclusions for the remainder of the year in struggling teams as long as they avoid injury. If Stiffy is healthy, I'd imagine he'd be back next week given the Crows are...
