Herald Sun SuperCoach 2008: Part 2

[Rhino5]

I might be playing 4 zeros this week.

 

[Biggie]

Scooter Selwood better play Woosh.

 

[Oct19]

Scooter Selwood better play Woosh.

Looking ominous that he won't, second last listed on extended bench .

 

[OneEyedHawk]

3 trades left, only $25k in bank. Been to-ing and fro-ing all week as to whether to go Cotchin>Dalziell, is incredibly risky with only 3 trades and Cornes still on my bench, but the cash would be invaluable. Could then turn Cornes into someone decent, and have some cash for my final trade.

BACKS: Gilbee, Cornes, Shaw, Newman, Johncock, Birchall, Ibbotson (Head & Proud)
MIDS: Ablett, Cooney, Cornes, Dal Santo, Bartel, Stevens (Cotchin & Wellingham)
RUCKS: Cox, Simmonds (Hampson & Renouf)
FORWARDS: J Brown, Pavlich, Franklin, Riewoldt, ROK, SJ, Rioli (Ross & Thompson)

So, should it do it?? Any help at all would be much appreciated.

 

[Walesy]

That could help... Though it will be leaving your trades thin for the finals.

(1 trade left)

If you're feeling good about your reserves though, go for it.

 

[hellfire]

Anyone know why Burgoyne isn't back yet? (Peter).

EDIT: Cancel that, just saw the other thread.

I finally thought I'd have 22 players playing (thanks to Proud getting a gig), but then Burgs doesn't come back.

That's the thing. Only have confidence in Cotchin and Head that they'll be assured starters. The rest are week-by-week propositions.

Would you do it, Walesy?

 

[SJ]

One of my mates has one trade remaining, but each week the site says he has zero available to use for the week!

 

[Walesy]

sure, why not.

keep cotchin- good safe emergency that will play every week, trade wellingham to dalziell, then upgrade cornes - milburn/fisher/bowden or upgrade thomson- delidio/richo?
with your solid emergencys 1 trade will be enough for finals

after looking at that upgrade cornes

My mate reckons because the backs are so shit this year, I'd be better off downgrading Cornes to a rookie (ie. McKenzie- ave:77, $118k), playing Head/McKenzie as my 7th mid, and using the cash for my final 2 trades (ie. upgrading Rioli/Thompson).

How do you reckon that sounds? Or just go Wellingham>Dalziell?

Provided you trust that your rookies are going to play, then sure...

It's a hard sell to trust anyone that is playing their first few games this late in the season though...

 

[OneEyedHawk]

Have been thinking about this NON-STOP all week, and am no closer. I have about 50-60 minutes to finalize my team, will probably come down to the old adage, "when in doubt, don't trade...".

I think.

 

[Toadvine]

Looking ominous that he won't, second last listed on extended bench .

What about Priddis? he's very far down that list too....
I hope he plays he's been very frustrating this year.
I have armfield as a back up though

 

[hotdish]

AM I CRAZY? I am thinking of getting the Big Q (Quinten Lynch) trading him in for Tredrea/Burton...

He has been released onto a wing, instead of being up forward...since this move he has two 120+ games is still only 410k...

thoughts...too risky?

 

[Masterchief]

Good old Collingwood forever...

 

[Spartan]

Spartan's coaching career for 2008 is over.

0 trades left.

Final team for the rest of the season:

Milburn, Gilbee, Shaw, Mattner, McLeod, Birchall, Bradshaw (N.J.Brown, Edwards)

Ablett (C), Kirk (vC), K.Cornes, Hayes, Cross, Stevens (Dalziell, Myers)

Cox, Sandilands (Hampson, Meeson)

Pavlich, Riewoldt, J.Brown, Franklin, O'Keefe, Chapman, Porplyzia (Tippet, Ross)

A @#$% ups this year.

Upgrading Simmonds to Sandilands was premature and stupid.

Swapping Bowden for McLeod a week before he came back.

Trading in N.J.Brown insted of Thompson.

etc etc etc.

Ranked #739.. I'll be happy to finish in the top #500 but it prob wont happen.

If everyone one of your players scored their average including double for captain what would your team score?

For mine (according to tooserious) i would get about 2328. That's with my highest averagin player Cox as captain.

 

[sens]

Guys, I'm trading Chad Cornes and I can afford any backman bar Bowden. Who should I get? I'm think Sam Fisher. Probably the most consistent backman this year.

I was just about to post the same thing & I was choosing between Fisher , Milburn or Gilbee.

I tend to agree Fisher has been very consistant.

One million.

 

[C-Dog]

i am going to downgrade one of my roookies for dalziell. but am deciding which one either cotchin or s.browne.

it will leave me with 4 trades for finals. most of you understand the reason for the decision.

any thoughts?
