Herald Sun SuperCoach 2008

[Athomas]

I had water last year and i was happy with him but this year there are more players around the same value. he is also really hard at the footy and will get u some free kicks i am gussing heath scotland and man that is a tough choise but u have to consider judd will be getting number one tag each week but if he is fit and NO injurys he will be the player u would have to chose but if u want a consistent player that will get u a good score week in week out heath scotland would be ur man last year he was most consistent player

Yeh tough choice. I'm sticking with Heath for now.

So you aren't having Waters this year?

 

[Biggie]

Thoughs on N. Brown and Deledio? Identical in price.

Deledio is set for a massive year imo. N.Brown still very good but I feel Brett will be better.

Help!

Hurn or King?

Reilly or johnstone?

Hurn can turn it over by foot out of the backline so in SC thats a no no. King looks good to me I cannot decide atm

TJ at Bris? He looks to fit in well there, could be a geniune gun, remembering he has great skills when under no pressure.

Brent Reilly? Nah for me.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Thought I might as well check the thread out since it is opened.

145th overall last year which included a 5 week trip to America and my team going un watched.
(just quietly I reckon I would have given it a red hot crack if I stayed in Melbourne)

Haven't been on to check it out yet but I will probably have a look at everything this time next week.

Help!

Hurn or King?

Reilly or johnstone?

Bolded answers to begin with. Johnstone may take a while to adjust to Bris midfield. Reilly looked seriously good in Dubai. More help needed:

Le Cras or Monfries or Didak (2 outta 3)

Dal Santo or Cross + cash

Symes for whoever els is around his price.

I get Dal Santo every year in SC. But for Now, Cross + Cash.

Dal Santo jsut too expensive.

I have played both competitions for a few times with some top 50 performances and some rather dissapointing seasons like last year.

In the end for every good 'coach' that scores well, there is 5 that lucked out.

Some of you know what im talking about. You will either make or break with Monfries this year. Will knights play him in the midfield? Will he rot in the forward pocket?

What will Barry Hall do? He is capable of a 90+ average but are his knees bust?

Sandilands.. will he ever come good?

How about Luke Ball? Easily able to average 100+ but will he **** your team in the ass again like he did last year? Yes, im still bitter.

What about Embley? Does he only want to bring his A game to the finals?

What happens if you get Judd and he does not play until round 6 or even worse.. plays minimal game time for those rounds, his price drops and people who took a risk on someone like Coughlan or Prismall make a profit and buy Judd at a great price.

You will always get blue chip players that you know wont let you down. Milburn, Riewoldt, Bartel, C. Cornes, K. Cornes, ect.. ect.. Its getting onto someone like Prismall or Porplyzia and getting lucky in a way, if the coach decides to give them game time. Or getting an old farty **** sheedy playing Monfries out of position. Or stupid Dean i-am-a-w***er Laidley playing Corey Jones in the forward pocket when he could have got 130+ all year on HBF.

In particular I was wondering if I have taken to many risks? I was also wondering if it would be worth downgrading Mattner to Ellis and upgrading Lucas to Reiwolt and Cooney to Hayes

I get Dal Santo every year in SC. But for Now, Cross + Cash.

Dal Santo jsut too expensive.

I have both in my team.

 

[Biggie]

Le Cras or Monfries or Didak (2 outta 3)

Lecras might just a have a standout yr for WC.

But Monfries could find more of the ball and land a tackle.

Me Im leaning Monfries and Didak.

 

[Athomas]

Your team is great and quite similar to mine.

Only BIG problem I see is Dew.

 

[Biggie]

I have both in my team.

Really?

Cash left over?

 

[Athomas]

Lecras might just a have a standout yr for WC.

But Monfries could find more of the ball and land a tackle.

Me Im leaning Monfries and Didak.

I'd lean towards Didak and Le cras.

Don't rate Monfries highly.

In fact I'd lean towards Didak and someone else.

 

[inwhiterooms]

edit

 

[Biggie]

C Riolli, Rhys Palmer, A Proud and Houli starting?

A little risky yeah?

 

[eugene_tomas]

i cant justify dal santo price he will surely come down

 

[bloodsportz]

any thoughts?

A good selection of Blue Chip players but your leaving yourself slightly exposed with players like Rioli, Leunberger, Palmer, Houli and Proud starting no the ground.

any thoughts?

The stars are good. Really good. Your forwards are loaded. As someone mentioned Proud, Rioli, Houli and Palmer starting is risky. I'd have Palmer and that's all.

I'm in one of your leagues, and this team looks really good.

 

[SJ]

Haven't heard Johncock mentioned - SuperCoach god in 2006 and an interrupted year last year. Where is he at, and if coming good, is he worth a punt?

 

[dazy]

Yeh tough choice. I'm sticking with Heath for now.

So you aren't having Waters this year?

nope no waters this year

 

[Athomas]

PM me a jpeg of your team ?

No idea about Johncock.

 

[bloods01]

Really?

Cash left over?

Yes, $67,000.

Now it's time to massage the make up of my team.

 

[dazy]

I'd lean towards Didak and Le cras.

Don't rate Monfries highly.

In fact I'd lean towards Didak and someone else.

monfries year is this year man he is going to have a great season

 

[Hard Ball Get]

any thoughts?

Lots of work to be done.
Rioli, Leuenberger, Houli, Palmer and Proud all starting is a massive worry.
