[WaynesWorld19]

Did you hold those two or trade them out?

You know the o'l saying ...don't trade your premo's

Yes, I traded both after 4 weeks ....but the damage had been done, with Serong and Co going crazy

It's very hard to let go of the old ways. Like don't trade until at least round 3, that sort of thing doesn't work with the early byes and the correction trades have to be done earlier rather than later, of course making decisions after 2 or 3 games can be hit or miss, I think that I traded out Young early, after his role looked suss, Fisher might have been another. But got Serong in round 2, grabbing Ryan at the same time would have been a game breaker.

There's so much to consider in this game and the 8 rounds of best 18 has a huge bearing on outcomes, also comes down to the 'little' things like matchups and loopability. I'm looking at having one bye player/round on each of the lines to maximise looping effectively giving a look at 26 players for the best 18 rounds. I was continually frustrated last year by having a good score only to be trumped by those teams looping in players that scored well off the bench.

ADELAIDE
PREDICTED 2025 BEST 23
FB: Max Michalanney, Mark Keane, Josh Worrell
HB: Wayne Milera, Nick Murray, Isaac Cumming
C: Lachlan Sholl, Jake Soligo, Mitch Hinge
HF: Alex Neal-Bullen, Darcy Fogarty, Ben Keays
FF: Riley Thilthorpe, Taylor Walker, Josh Rachele
FOLL: Reilly O’Brien, Jordan Dawson, Izak Rankine
INT: Matt Crouch, Rory Laird, James Peatling, Dan Curtin, Sid Draper
Simeon Thomas-Wilson says: It should be a much changed best Crows team with the players they have brought in and those returning from long injury layo*** in 2024. Neal-Bullen should slot straight into a half-forward role, Cumming looks set to provide some class off half-back with a fully fit Wayne Milera, while Peatling is likely to rotate between a midfield and forward role. Draper has shown such promising glimpses in pre-season so far that he should bang down the door to the Crows side pretty quickly.
The big SuperCoach question: Where does Dan Curtin play?
The highly touted draftee can play anywhere, which makes predicting his output difficult. But he has been tried as a tall midfielder over summer and that would be the best possible result for a player SuperCoaches can pick on their forward line bench for $158,600. – Al Paton

BRISBANE
PREDICTED 2025 BEST 23
FB: Brandon Starcevich, Harris Andrews, Darcy Wilmot
HB: Keidean Coleman, Jack Payne, Dayne Zorko
C: Jaspa Fletcher, Will Ashcroft, Hugh McCluggage
HF: Cam Rayner, Eric Hipwood, Jarrod Berry
FF: Charlie Cameron, Sam Day, Callum Ah Chee
FOLL: Oscar McInerney, Josh Dunkley, Lachie Neale
INT: Kai Lohmann, Zac Bailey, Levi Ashcroft, Tom Doedee, Logan Morris
Callum **** says: Daniher is the obvious omission but former Sun Sam Day should get first crack at assuming his role. The Lions will also be buoyed by the return of defensive duo Tom Doedee and Keidean Coleman, the latter was on course for a breakout season last year before rupturing his ACL. Ryan Lester would be a stiff out but it’s a very competitive side to break into.
The big SuperCoach question:How do all the returning (and new) faces fit in?
Daniher’s surprise retirement creates one vacancy in the premiership side, but there is a queue of players hoping to break in – or back in after missing the flag through injury. Coleman, Linc McCarthy and Doedee, plus boom draftee Levi Ashcroft – they could all be good SuperCoach picks, priced well under their likely output. We’ll find out a lot more in Opening Round. – Al Paton
CARLTON
PREDICTED 2025 BEST 23
FB: Nick Haynes, Jacob Weitering, Adam Saad
HB: Jordan Boyd, Mitch McGovern, Oliver Hollands
C: Sam Docherty, Patrick Cripps, Blake Acres
HF: Matt Cottrell, Harry McKay, Elijah Hollands
FF: Jesse Motlop, Charlie Curnow, Zac Williams
FOLL: Tom De Koning, Sam Walsh, Adam Cerra
INT: George Hewett, Jaxon Binns, Jack Silvagni, Jagga Smith, Lachie Fogarty
Josh Barnes says: The injury headache has already hit Michael Voss, with the reliable Nic Newman gone for the year. Voss has been forced to draw on depth too often in the past two years to cover injuries, but at least now this squad now has strong depth. Having trained there through most of the summer, Ollie Hollands can step right in on the back flank for Newman. Marc Pittonet, Lachie Cowan, Brodie Kemp, Corey Durdin and Orazio Fantasia are all ready to play big minutes but didn’t make our cut. And then the youngsters like Ashton Moir, Ben Camporeale and Billy Wilson should be pushing. This is a squad with good depth, even if some extra midfield speed hasn’t been found yet.
The big SuperCoach question: One ruck or two?
Tom De Koning showed he could be a SuperCoach scoring beast when unleashed as a solo ruckman last season, but Michael Voss often opted to partner him with Marc Pittonet – leading to a huge drop in his SuperCoach output. We would love to get an early insight into Voss’s plans for 2025. – Al Paton
COLLINGWOOD
PREDICTED 2025 BEST 23
FB: Brayden Maynard, Darcy Moore, Isaac Quaynor
HB: Josh Daicos, Jeremy Howe, Dan Houston
C: Steele Sidebottom, Scott Pendlebury, Ed Allan
HF: Bobby Hill, Dan McStay, Pat Lipinski
FF: Jamie Elliott, Brody Mihocek, Beau McCreery
FOLL: Darcy Cameron, Nick Daicos, Jordan De Goey
INT: Lachie Schultz, Jack Crisp, Harry Perryman, Wil Parker, Will Hoskin-Elliott
Josh Barnes says: The glaring thing with this side is the lack of height in defence. Craig McRae will surely find a place for Billy Frampton or Charlie Dean, but squeezing them in is tough. The Pies love young Ed Allan and the team needs more young legs in the midfield. Wil Parker added some dare to the backline and the Pies need more of that, which will be bolstered by Dan Houston’s arrival and Josh Daicos playing back there more. When fit, the Magpies midfield is still strong, but getting them fit at their age is the battle. This is a strong team - even recruit Tim Membrey is relegated to back-up status - but everyone needs to be firing.
The big SuperCoach question: Is Ed Allan a regular?
Nick Daicos says he could be a ‘superstar’ and the 20-year-old played his best AFL game (of two) in the final round last season. The Pies need to refresh their midfield and Allan ($194k MID) is at the front of the queue. – Al Paton

 

[South of the Yarra]

Parkers ownership at 14%. Really want to keep a close eye on him.

 

[South of the Yarra]

Lynch at 34% ownership. Is his body ready to play?

 

[gutsroy]

Yeah you could be right. English is as soft as butter.

Was he NQR at times last year?
Seemed pretty off his tucker at stages, figured he was carrying an undisclosed niggle

 

[gutsroy]

They put him out to pasture early to set him for a full preseason.
Rich fans will know more, last two snippets I had seen he was moving well and putting in fair loads at training.
But plenty of time ro figure that out

 

[Crow Blow]

I’ve been playing around with my structure and this is my current version. Let me know what you think!

 

[Saints4ever]

Pretty happy with this. Thoughts?

So, I've got this structure almost exactly, but also have a more MPM Ruckless version that has TDK/Shrek > Phillipou/Flynn allowing an extra rookie > uber premo.

I like the MPM Ruckless version more, but am 2nd guessing myself.. TL;DR I LOVE IT!

Paging Judd_Magic
We’ve got a triple-roughy promise here.

And he's bloody crazy enough to do it too.

Hope you're doing well mate and everyone else.

I've put a team together, will have to post it.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Well well well

Look at this bunch of useless Supercoach loving mother ****ers.

Bunch of degenerative alcoholic pieces of shit just like me.

So West Coast no longer suck. New CEO, Coach and everything.
No Barrass or Darling and a flag is imminent.

As for SC. I plan to suck has much as usual, maybe more.
Do not listen to me for shit. Im too far gone and lost all abilities.

Now time for another Jacks and coke and a cigar when the rugrats go to bed.

Ill post my first team in a sec. Its bad. Just the way I like it.

Maybe my actual starting side this year will be something so out of the box that Judd_Magic will weep

BTW hi campaigners and kents

I rate him ahead of Sniff and Pou

 

[gutsroy]

I rate him ahead of Sniff and Pou

Can you explain the logic?.
Not being silly, genuinely interested.
See him as mostly HFF, the odd run through the middle..
He is a great pick up leadership, experience and class-wise, just don't see that he will necessarily have a role that can have him go like 90, say.

Went at 97 in his last season as a mid, not long ago. LDU can't carry the load himself. Sheez and Warlord are great but too young to carry the mids. They recruited him for midfield minutes. He s been a standout at training and already has a presence with the squad like he's been there for 10 years.

My worry with him is more will the ball be down there enough for a couple of spike games

 

[dabombers]

I thought this guy was going to be this seasons ruck messiah.

Any man who needs to do the old tuck your hands behind your biceps while your arms are crossed to make your muscles look bigger needs a head check and 12 months in the gym doing bicep curls.

Only a maybe pick for me now.
May stick with a non-playing R/F captain loop and play a flex ruck.

But he is going to be hard to skip if he is destined to get early season games.

There was a similar situation with Oscar Allen a couple of seasons back and he ended up making like 250k IIRC. However the fwd line options were way shitter compared to this year.

I also heard that Lynch scored better at GC playing for a bottom side ...than he did at RICH

This is one of all the time reasons to not pick someone in Supercoach.

Incredibly early rough draft of my team. Feedback pls.
