As we have a few leagues going at once, I thought I would start a thread for all banter, talk, and discussion for the Premier League SuperCoach competition. (And I am aware of the irony of using the term "Premier League" considering Team Grimreepah is a participant).

My ladder prediction:

Roo's Magoos
Browny's 22
Quigley
Jumper Punch
Johns Team
Fairley's Force
Lionbear Bears
The Retired Nigels

Slider's Squad
Josh's Penguins
Brisbane Dragons
The freddie factor
Belgium FC
Lethal's Lions
POBT's Plebs
The Afterlife
 
Strictly speaking I probably should have relegated last year. It wasn't tanking, we just stopped trying! :D

My starting squad for this year:

Def: Symes, Gram, Johncock, H.Shaw, C.Cornes, Hurn, Bradshaw, J.Edwards, Hartlett
Mids: N.Jones, Cross, Mitchell, Stevens, M.Thomas, Palmer, Bird, Grigg
Ruck: Cox, Simmonds, Leuenberger, Hampson
Forwards: J. Brown, Chapman, Schneider, Burton, A.Edwards, Porplyzia, L.Harding, K.Tippett, Gamble

Yep, a bit of a gamble all over the park. It was quite even up until Tuesday, but I decided to load on a few more young cheap mids in the hope I can trade 2-3 in later and boost the squad. I expect this strategy to net me more than the odd loss early on and fail completely as the squad is decimated by injuries and waffles... tasty waffles....

My team:

Def: J. Bowden, P. Burgoyne, H. Shaw, Gram, Hurn, Bradshaw, Ellis, Proud, Pfeiffer
Mid: Judd, Priddis, Stiller, M. Clarke, Gibbs, Stevens, Peake, Houli
Ruck: Simmonds, Leuenberger, Renouf, Tippett
Forward: Deledio, Headland, Grant, Thomas, Akermanis, Didak, Burton, Henderson, Tippett

I economised on rucks, spent little on reserves (except for Peake), avoided key position players and tried to load up on loose men in defence.

I notice you've avoided many of the "everyone will have this guy" types like Stevens, Simmonds, Nathan Thompson... if it pays off, could be a good strategy.

Doesn't SC measure more stats as well as effectiveness of stats?

Probably should have checked these before I chose a team, but here it is via supercoach board mod Kildonan:

Kildonan said:
The Supercoach scoring system:

Code: 
Stat Description                   Points Awarded/Deducted 
Effective kick                            4 Points 
Ineffective kick                          0 Points 
Clanger kick                             -8 Points 
Handball effective                        2 Points 
Ineffective handball                      0 Points 
Handball clanger                         -6 Points 
Handball receive                          1 Point 
Hardball get                              4 Points 
Loose-ball get                            4 Points 
Goal                                      8 Points 
Behind                                    1 Point 
Mark uncontested (maintaining possession) 1 Point 
Mark contested (maintaining possession)   6 Points 
Mark uncontested (from opposition)        4 Points 
Mark contested (from opposition)          8 Points 
Tackles                                   4 Points 
Free kick for                             4 Points 
Free kick against                        -6 Points 
Hitout to Advantage                       3 Points

Now compare this with the Dream Team scoring system:

Code: 
Stat Description Points Awarded/Deducted 
Kick                  3 Points 
Handball              2 Points 
Mark                  3 Points 
Tackle                4 Points 
Free Kick For         1 Point 
Free Kick Against    -3 Points 
Hitout                1 Point 
Goal                  6 Points 
Behind                1 Point

Dream team misses out of LOT of performance indicators doesn't it, and while Supercoach is nowhere near a perfect indicator of overall performance, it is impressively more complete than DT.

There is so much reliable info out there this year BrownDog,
plus... yeah I know I've quoted Ignatius Jones before, but as you know "I'm not like everybody else" ;)
 
Grimreepah said:
When someone kicks a goal does that count as an effective kick plus a goal, or do you just get points for the goal?
Click to expand...

plus + plus Grim, and if it was a match winning goal after the siren gets "significance" points as well I think.

Also when the full back kicks out after a behind he is only credited points, if he plays on then kicks/handballs. He also gets an assist if the ball is taken by the team coast to coast for a goal..... I think.:eek:

Pretty sure I've read... last year? maybe even or in the introduction year of SuperCoach? Will also search around tonight through some books, might have been in the first AFL Prospectus. Will "quote" or advise later Grim.

**Edit http://www.championdata.com.au/files/rankings.pdf With a clearer and a more specific on pages 353 & 354 of the 2007 AFL Prospectus, vol.2
 
Must admit I haven't been factoring in goals after the siren and coast to coast goals when picking my team so yeah, obviously I've been a bit disadvantaged there.;)

By the way Fred, it seems you've dropped off the Priddis bandwagon.
