Why have Gibbs in the middle when you can have him the backline. Same with Lids. Awesome options for the backline. Love midfield scores in the backline. Not sure why you would put Chaps in the mids as well.. More use as a FWD I believe.. Not sure about having Buddy and Cyril together..

I just like having Gibbs and deledio as MPP, I would like to have a premium forward/midfield, MPP, so Chapman was the man. Been thinking a bit about the whole Buddy and Cyril in the same forward line is debateable, but who would I take out? I would prefer to have Cyril but as some others have mentioned, the other premium forwards arent doing much for me this year.

don't think the mpp is as important as you are making it out to be.......it's ok, but don't rely on it to be the most important part of your team..so with that being said, gibbs to backline, chapman to fwds, franklin and rioli in same fwd is debatable, isaac smith from what i have been told by some hawthorn supporters will not get many games early or at all (credibility factor unknown), swan pendlebury together as well?? iffy...

I like the MPP as it reduces trades (thaty being said they have added extra trades to accomadate the extra players. In all honesty, I have been sceptical about Smith since the get go, but he is a (your welcome to rebut this) MPP, forward/midfielder and is the only reason why he was getting a game, and the fact that he, as a mature aged player should play early games.

I do think that Swan and Pendlebury is a risk, a huge massive risk, but one I am willing to take (locks for both of them).

In saying that, thanks for the advice, any players I could look at for Franklin, Swan, Isaac Smith (as a MPP)?

Thanks for your help guys, any advice on your teams?

Um,

- Drummond is injured again, he is one player I am certainly watching with interest, proven SC gun.
- Not sure how much improvement Tom Scully has as a second year player, often they stagnate and prove to be disasters (see Patrick Dangerfield, Chris Masten, Stephen Hill).
- (Ward/Blair) I would go Ward out of these two, but you could down grade Scully and upgrade this pick to a discounted type.
- Not sure Wallis will play early on, these are the most important rounds (in saying that, he will blitz pre season and start round 1, so keep him for me thinks).
- Zac Smith and Zac Clarke, two players of the three you mentioned, look at draftee Tom Dericx as a smokey, he could play round 1 after some decent reports about the mature aged 23 y.o.
- Not sold on Petterd, had a good season in a horrible outfit (Melbourne), has come back and re injured himself (I thought I heard), so perhaps use this money on someone else perhaps.
- Dawes is a bit of a smokey, but one player who could improve as the Pies improve, in saying that, look at your other options.
- Stay away from Darling me thinks. Perhaps look at some of the other kids coming through, Majak Daw is a real smokey who I would not be surprised to see play round 1.

Hopefully you can improve your team, good luck

- Adcock is another player who I will be watching closely this pre season.
- Greenwood should play alot of games this year, not sure on his scoring prowess' though.
- Seb Tape is an interesting prospect, perhaps a unique pick.
- Not sold on your mid bench, almost to much money on it. 90% of people would have Swallow on the field, and doing well with him there, same goes for Daniel Harris (?).
- Rucks look really solid
- Top line forwards look good, tapers away when you hit Knights, but these three (Knights, Petrie and Krakouer) could prove the difference (even though Krak is probably going to be in most teams.
- Lewis Johnston is an interesting prospect, not sure how much he would dominate, but as a cash cow, I would not be surprised to see him play games early and be a cash cow.

Hope this helps as well buddy Good Luck

Backs - Very standard but very good / strong

Rucks - Awesome!

Forwards - Once again very standard but very good. Main concern maybe Matera on field??

Backs look solid although keep an eye on Adcock's pre season form. Mids are very different. I prefer Chaps and Sylvia in the FWDS but it could work out nicely. Ruckare pretty standard. Fwds look aggresive. Hope Higgins and Danger come through this year as well.. Good looking side..

Got 2 scratchy sides for my team..

Rucks : Sandilands, Petrie (Smith, Dericx)

Fwds : Chapman, N Riewoldt, Rioli, Sylvia, Knights, Krakouer, Richardson (Matera, B Johnson, Callian)

Still mucking around with the rookie bench spots atm..
Also 104,200k to play with..not sure where to use it..

or


Backs : Goddard, Deledio, Gibbs, Broughton, Grimes, Otten, Heppell (Toy, Pupolo, Duigan)

Mids : Swan, Montagna, A Swallow, Jack, D Swallow, Mzungu (Hibberd, Harris, Atley)

Got about 46k remaining with this side..

To be honest, not sure which way to swing.. would like some suggestions which would be awesome guys

will rate yours if you rate mine cheers

Like your backs, pretty solid.
i reckon you could get another rookie on the field in your mids (your strategy looks different to mine)
k or j tippet in the rucks? as always, k tippet is inconsistant but can turn it up. i think j tippet will play right from the start so could start with him in the field.
i think you've got to many mid range players in the forward line. i'd downgrade cotchin to gaff or macmillan and upgrade morton or rioli.

Pick it to bits boys. not overly liking having so many suns but they're more likely to get early games. also having two suns in on the bench in the rucks.

Interesting to see you load up on GC players, just remember they have the bye round 1 so you will need to ensure you have enough cover on the bench. I've also tinkered with the Prestia and Matera in the forward line, might come back to it closer to the season proper when I get a bit more of an idea as to how GC may line up.

Interesting mid set up with 7 low price/rookie players and 2 guns, its either going to pay off or cause you to crash and burn. Apart from that seems pretty strong.

Any advice welcome/appreciated.

By my count you're going in with only nine players who are strong chances to end up in the top-10 players for their line and play 22 games or close to it RT: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, Pendlebury, Sandilands, Cox, Reiwoldt, Rioli.

So essentially you're relying on A. Swallow, Mitchell, Boak, Green, Higgins, Morton and Grimes to either become top-10 in their position, or you'll need to build a trade into your plans for each or most of them at the start. At worst (i.e. all the above are outside the top-10 scorers in their position) you could have 13+ positions which need upgrading - despite the extra trades this year you can still only use two a week, throw in a couple of injuries and it's a lot of work to upgrade from the position you could find yourself in.

With good luck, you could get (purely for example) A. Swallow, Grimes, Mitchell, Higgins and Morton strongly into the top-10 of their position (and say a couple who were top-5) and playing nearly all games - that would leave you quite well placed with perhaps 8-9 positions to upgrade and some decent cash cows to do it with.

Personally, I think the chances of nearly every one of these seven players failing to become top-10 in their position and/or play 22 games is higher than the chances that 4-5 of them will make it - which IMO, is what you'd need for the strategy to really pay dividends.

If you believe enough of them can do it then you've got a strong side there with a fairly unique composition. FWIW, IMO it's a good 20% better than your last one.

 

[FwdPocketer]

This thread is queer!!!

Dont you all realise you are all competing with each other for the over all prize??? And by doing this thread year after year not only are you effectively helping your "competitions" teams improve but your practically making your players all the same!!!

I have looked at about 3 - 4 pages worth of teams and basically all back lines and ruck divisions are identical oh yeah and half of the forward lines....

U are making supercoach any better by doing this, in fact you are ruining the game by pretty much taking out the unique and individual nature of each teams line up out of the game!!!

Thing that fustrates me is that half of you probably winge about the herald sun for giving out tips all the time making it easy for everyone but you fail to see that you are doing the exact same thing!!!

Who ever the mods are on this forum, next year should ban this rate my teams threads to make it a more fun and unique competition for all of us.

You are 100% correct. All these people who listen to other peoples advice will get absolutely nowhere near the cash. Great post.

 

[Ed_Gein]

And of the 390,000 people that entered SC last season how many of them posted their team in this corresponding thread for last year? I'll be extremely leniant and say 1000. Hardly going to affect the game.

Green ended last season as the 8th best forward rankings wise and I believe he is every chance to do it again given the Dees look set to play better again.

Personally, I think the chances of nearly every one of these seven players failing to become top-10 in their position and/or play 22 games is higher than the chances that 4-5 of them will make it - which IMO, is what you'd need for the strategy to really pay dividends.

If you believe enough of them can do it then you've got a strong side there with a fairly unique composition. FWIW, IMO it's a good 20% better than your last one.

I realise that there is a bit of risk involved, but I'm quietly confident in most of them coming off. Swallow has played 22 games in 3 of the last 4 seasons and bumped his average up nicely last year, Mitchell is another who has a good record when it comes to playing 22 games and while quiet last year is more than capable of getting back up to around 105-110 per game as a 5th-7th midfielder I'd take that. Boak & Grimes I'm a little less confident about given they haven't played 22 yet, but if they do I'm quite confident they will have good enough years to climb in the rankings. Higgins and Morton are like Boak and Grimes in that I again believe both are ready to take their games to the next level, its just whether they can or not. No bias intended but I think Morton is a better chance than Higgins is given how Morton ended last season in his new role. As long as I see him still playing there in the practice matches then I won't be changing him.

So in effect I see only 4 players as question marks Boak Grimes Higgins and Morton
