The Monday Wrap

[FBDonkey]

Normally i get together with my mates on Monday and talk about how our supercoach weekend went. Here is your chance to join in on BF.

Score - 2220

Overall ranking - 112th (down 8 spots)

Heroes - ABLETT, Chapman, Goddard, Dal Santo, Gibbs, JBrown, Hurn

Villains - Suban (for Drummond), JWhite (for Cox), Judd, Selwood, HMac, StevieJ, Higgins, Buddy, Gilbee (actually glad he played as it meant i avoided a donut)

League Status - Won all 3 games. Finally into the top 8 of Big Footy Div. 5

Injury concerns - I thought that I was going to benefit from Cox being injured as no one else had cover, but JWhite didnt help very much. Also had MBrown and Suban playing for Goodwin and Drummond. Seriously need those boys back this week as it is really costing me points for every week they are out.

Trades - No trades last week, no trades this week.

Vent: F%&K YOU JESSE WHITE!!!

Kudos: I think Ablett really is the son of god

Thoughts - Well done to Razor for finishing top 10 for the week. Shame he couldnt take the 1k. Its sad to be out of the top 100 for another week, but i know a lot of the boys competiting at the top and its fun to watch. Getting a bit sick of posting decent scores without posting anything big. Hopefully its my turn this week

How was your supercoach weekend?

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Score - 2276

Overall ranking - 12th (14th last week)

Heroes - Ablett, Didak, Sandi, Gilbert, Sewell, Gibbs, Goddard, Power (thought he deserved more though)

Villains - Fisher, Higgins, Buddy, Enright

League Status - Top in all my leagues, luckily I played Ali's Army at the right time in BF Div 12

Injury concerns - Pav, Cox, Ellis (?), Chad (Broughton on field for him and doing well, but if Ellis is injured then I'll be in touble)

Trades - May do Pav-->Chappy, depends on his injury.

Vent - I brought Buddy in a few weeks ago, don't know why I did that.

Kudos - Ablett obviously. Gilbert was on 13 (?) at Qtr time, but got 126.

Thoughts - I thought I might've dropped a few places so I'm happy to actually move up and be 12th. I'll be away this weekend and won't have a computer so thank god for the new SC mobile site.

 

[PowerOfThePussy]

Score - 2396

Overall ranking - 61st (up 70 spots)

Heroes - Ablett, Chapman, Bartel, Goddard, Dal Santo, JBrown, Adcock, Sandilands, ROK

Villains - Selwood, Buddy, Gilbee, Fisher, Kornes, Houlihan, Pav (not really a villian, but still only 21 on the scoresheet at the end of the day)

League Status - Won both games. 1st and 2nd in leagues.

Injury concerns - Pav and Cox

Trades - No trades this week - toying with Pav trade idea

Vent: - None really

Kudos: I think Ablett really is the son of god (seconded)

Thoughts - Very happy with my progress so far this season. Was 3500th odd after round 5 and have slowly made my way up from there. Not sure what to do with Pav - tempted to trade to Harvey, but it uses up one more very valuable trade. Have M. Brown only as sub for him and he doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. Will hope to find out some info reav to help make the decision easier.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Score - 2165

Overall ranking - 4200 (up 330)

Heroes - Ablett, Roughead, Ball, Goddard, Grimes, Newman, Riewoldt, Cross, Harding

Villains - Steve Johnson.. Mr. Ineffective as always.. Kreuzer, Pavlich, Higgins, Judd, Buddy, Gilbee, Lids

League Status - Won 2, Lost 1 (to a hack team that had a lucky week). Sitting 2nd, 8th and 1st in each.

Injury concerns - Pavlich, Wright, Pearce

Trades - Brought in Lockyer and Pearce last week.. not so good. Not sure about trades this week.

Vent: Buddy - whipe the butter off your fingers you hack. S.Johnson, I love ya... but 31% effeciency, are you serious? And go to hell Muston.

Kudos: Ablett, Cross stepping back into his Mr. Consistency role.

Thoughts - It was a great start to the week, which turned bad, which turned good again, then finished average. Only 6 people scoring over 100, and a lot of guns performing well below average. Getting really sick of sulking around the 2100-2250 points area; need to post some high scores to make a big move in the rankings and bring up my average. No score over 2350 thus far this season, which is a little disappointing.

 

[Carlton Kid]

Score - 1962

Overall ranking - 1074 (down 527 places)

Heroes - Goddard, Gilbert, Newman, Grimes, Dal Santo (c), Gibbs, Power and Chapman

Villains - Enright, Gilbee, Rance, Judd, Selwood, Cooney, McInosh, S.Johnson, Pavlich, Deledio, Lovett, Franklin, Higgins and a d0nut

League Status - I suck at SC and life. Lost every league match

Injury concerns - Drummond (Rance), Cox (noone) and Pavlich (Walker) are my injury concerns. i need Drummond and Cox back next week. I can deal with Pav for another 1-3.

Trades - No trades last week, no trades this week.

Vent - No one in the forwardline besides Chapman (gun) scored above 80. Pav injured and I now will be forced to have Taylor 'Spud' Walker play. Judd, Selwood and Cooney, players I've become used to pumping out 330+ between them each week, all scored below 85. Cox you soft ****. Spencer can't get a game at ****house Demonland. Rawlings you ********! You do not use Rance to tag Dal Santo and Goddard you useless ****! Enright and Gilbee...........



















**** me.

Kudos - I have bromances with Dal Santo, Gilbert and Goddard. Carlton players take a leaf out of their books.

Thoughts - Well I suck at SC it seems. The team has gone to ****. I really need Drummond back as Rance is no cover. On the players averages I should be getting over 2300 every week. I had dreams before this week that I would break into the top 300 after coming quite close at 326 at round 8. Thoughts? I think I may have just had a very bad week and despite all my frustrations in this post that in reality next week I may get around 2300 and I will be praising the SC Gods.

 

[Liuy]

1062?

Surely a typo.

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

1062?

Surely a typo.

It must've been a really bad week if he only dropped 527 places to 1074th after scoring that.

 

[Felixes Felines]

Score - 2240

Overall ranking - 45 (down 8)

Heroes - Ablett, Chapman, NDS, ROK, Bartel, Goddard, JBrown, Adcock

Villains - White, Duddy, Muston, Gilbee, Fisher, Stevie J, Pav (Inj but still a villian)

League Status - Won one/Lost one (BF Div 4 by 12 pts).

Injury concerns - Pav and Cox

Trades - Unsure at the moment.

Vent: - F**k you White. Lost my Div 4 by 12 when you avg 50 and could only manage 19 this week. When are you 2 Hawthorn pricks (Duddy & Muston) going to help out your teammates?

Kudos: I think Ablett really is the son of god (x3)

Thoughts - Happy to only fall 8 places this week. Some big scores by players but had a number of team well below avg which cost me BF Div 4 game. Do not believe l have any chance of winning overall. Just want to finish top 100.

 

[Falchoon]

Score - 2437

Overall ranking - 3795

Heroes Ablett * 2, Tuck, Jarrod "every 2nd week" Roughead, Sandilands, O'Keefe, Davey, Gibbs, Goddard, Ball, Hurn, & my man Zac attack

Villains Cox - wore a zero, Scott Stevens, probably Duddy as well but his 69 pretty much matches his current price..

League Status 7th, 7th and surprisingly 3rd in the 34th ranked league.

Injury concerns Cox Cornes, Rioli

Trades Gun in the holster, might need to do Sam Jacobs out for the West Australian Fijian to back up Cox.

Vent: Best score and result of the year, and I played 1 short without Cox

Kudos: Ablett.

Thoughts Too many Hawthorn forwards in Roughy, Duddy and Rioli, would love to get Didak, I wanted him last week but had to fix my backline with Marty Clarke, Kyle Cheney and Chad Cornes not cutting it, have probably missed the boat now.

 

[Pedsy]

Score - 2424

Overall ranking - 1466 (Up 1342 spots )

Heroes - YABLEETT! Gibbs, Sandilands, Goddard, ROK, Porps, Chappy.

Villains - Higgins and Gilbee. Shocking effort. And Juddy to an extent I guess. Oh, hate to say it, but J.Selwood too. Really got shut out today.

League Status - 3rd. Lost my first 2 league games. Now won 8 on the trot.

Injury concerns - Just Cox really. Maybe Gilbee too if he is going to play through an ankle injury and pull scores like that.

Trades - Got 6 left. Haven't done any since Rnd 11. May give it a miss again if injury permits. Final upgrade plans are to bring in Pendlebury for Rich and Harvey for Higgins. Then 4 left to cover injuries into finals.

Vent - To be totaly honest I don't have a reason to vent. Am a little about a few scores, but I haven't been screwed over by a bad trade or injury for a good couple of months! Touch wood!

Kudos - I must bow to the little master. GAJ, you are a true champion and future legend

Thoughts - This is my second year of SC and I'm really enjoying it! I have learnt a lot from last year. In the early rounds I threatened to repeat the mistakes of last year with poor trades but have been able to really turn it around. Next season I will have to get involved in the BF Leagues!

 

[Snake_Eyes]

Score - 2147

Overall ranking - 2nd (down 1 spot)

Heroes - ABLETT, Chapman, Goddard, JBrown, ROK.

Villains - Fisher. Gilbee. You guys are supposed to be SC Specialists. I can forgive Gilbee coming back from injury, but Fisher is looking very dodgy atm. Judd, Selwood, Duddy, Enright, Deledio, H Mac all below par.

League Status - Lost 2/3. Meh.

Injury concerns - Drummond, Pendlebury, Cox, Pavlich.

Trades - No trades last week, hopefully no trades this week.

Vent: Ablett just about scored more than the rest of my midfield combined! Just when you think you have a good squad together the injury curse bites hard! Didn't expect much from Muston, but he has been disappointing.

Kudos: ROK; he has been a rock. Hope his scores aren't affected by BBBH's brain explosion.

Thoughts - Lucky to stay in contention after such a shocking week. Need injured players to 'heal' quickly! I hope that was my "bad week". Anyone know if the No. 1 traded in Minson this week, or had 3 'decent' rucks all along???

Cheers

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Anyone know if the No. 1 traded in Minson this week, or had 3 'decent' rucks all along???

Apparently he traded him in for Jacobs this week.

 

[Impromptu]

Score - 2094

Overall ranking - 1468

Heroes Ablett (x1 yes I know I know and you don't have to tell me, yes I really know, actually I don't know as I'm making Swan captain next week LOL), Swan, Mattner

Villains - Duddy (usual weekly villain ), Power (I made you captain for a reason)

League Status - top 8

Injury concerns - Goodwin, Pavlich, Duddy (joking - refer below)

Trades - Sidebottom/Walker to Harvey??

Vent: None, just bad coaching from me so I'll vent at myself

Thoughts -

1 - If being a spud was an injury, Duddy would be out for the season - but 4 goals isn't bad..LOL
2 - Next year - don't be afraid to have 'no name' players
3 - If I stay in top 2,000 I'll be happy, jump from 50,000 last year..LOL
4 - Looking forward to Cats v Saints game - should be interesting - hopefully it's a draw

 

[Jobe Watson]

League Status - Lost 2/3. Meh.

I bet the guy that beat you is gonna brag about it forever.

 

[Snake_Eyes]

Apparently he traded him in for Jacobs this week.

I'll call that a 'brave' move.

Paid off this week though.

As to the league losses. I expected a loss in BFDIV1 sooner or later, but it was only by about 50 points.

Got absolutely smashed in another league, so yes, they will do some major bragging this week.

 

[PowerOfThePussy]

I bet the guy that beat you is gonna brag about it forever.

Lol I beat Woodyman a few weeks back when he was leading the comp.

Yep - I bragged.

 

[Wiggo34]

Score - 2303

Overall ranking - 96 (+35 from last week)

Heroes - Ablett(206x2) Adcock(126) Gibbs(122) Power(111 should have been more) ROK(134) Chapman(155)

Villians - Enright(69) Gilbee(62) Franklin(69 but then again its better than the 20's he was getting) Higgins(55)League Status - won all my matches

Injury concerns - Pav, Cox. Have no playing cover for either, hoping Cox is back next week and Sidebottom is back aswell otherwise 2 0's

Trades - 5 Trades left so i doubt i will do any this week

Vent - Obvious one is Buddy sick of his crap scores, But my biggest thing is everytime this year my team is nearing being complete, i get new injuries i am sick of injuries!!!! LoL

Kudos - Well Clearly GAJ, but also am very happy with the last 5 weeks of Goddard,Adcock,Power and ROK really good scores in there

Thoughts - Happy to finally crack the top 100 (96 overall now) hoping i can keep moving up and hope i dont get anymore injuries and can save my 5 Trades, i'll turn Rich in Pendlebury soon and thats it.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Score - 2178

Overall ranking - 210 (187 last week)

Heroes - Ablett, Dal Santo, Bartel, ROK, J.Brown, Goddard

Villians - Spud Franklin, Spud Fisher, Spud Gilbee. Welcome to Spudsville you freaking idiots! Pavlich only getting 20 and injured was just great too and no Cox means I didn't feel like a real man!

Injury concerns - Pav, Cox. Have no playing cover for Cox but have M.Brown to cover Pavlich. I don't have much faith in M.Brown but he is better than a dounut I guess.

Trades - 4 Trades left so i doubt i will do any this week

Vent - If I had of traded for Natinui I would have won the only league game I lost this week which was by 47 points.

Kudos - Ablett and ROK are holding my team together at the moment despite my spat of injuries, well done chaps. Great supporting cast in Broughton and Grima too.

Thoughts - Annoyed that I lost one of my 3 league games as I was undefeated in that league and have been outscoring the guy by a few hundred points each week.

Hoping that Cox comes back this week and that Pavlichs injury is only 2 weeks. Also wouldn't mind Cornes making a speedy recovery and for S.Fisher to fricken pull his finger out or I will trade him out for Dawson.

(And no I wasn't joking about that last comment either! ROFL!)

 

[Spudregus_87]

Score - 2112 (inc. 2 zero's & Pav & Ballantyne)

Overall ranking - 9,136th (up 4 places from LW)

Heroes - Ablett, Swan, Didak, Goddard, Adcock, Petrie & Cross

Villains - Fisher, Judd, Selwood, Pavlich, Buddy, Ballantyne, and no cover for Cox or Drummond.

League Status - Won all 3 games. On top of two leagues and 3rd in my old work one, where the ladder leader will be hard to beat with scores of 2398, 2208 & 2409 over the last 3 weeks

Injury concerns - Drummond, Cox (both hopefully back this week), Chornes, Pav (hopefully not too far away) and now Warren.

Trades - None yet, but I will have to use up 2 of my remaining three in the next 2-3 weeks. One of Chornes/Grimes/Broughton OUT for the cash, then upgrade Warren/Sidebottom to one of Roo/ROK/Neon.

Vent: My forward line! Pavlich going down, esp as my top forward, sucks donkey balls! Combine that with Warren's zero/price drop and Ballantyne's 9 after all the hype, and you see I'm in a bit of t-rouble. Selwood and Judd scoring 159 between them was also disappointing.

Kudos: Ablett, Ablett, Ablett. Swan's SC form. Adcock & Didak's resurgence. Goddard's Consistency. The trio of Grimes, Broughton & Rich as potential keepers.

Thoughts - Happy that I've finally found some consistency with four consecutive scores over 2100. I know thats not as good as many who post here, but its just something thats pleased me recently when it comes to SC. After finishing in the top 5000 last year, I'm hoping to replicate that again, and I think I can achieve that.

Would help me out A LOT if Cox and Drummond returned this week. And hope that Chornes comes back to score 95+ each week.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Score - 2316

Overall ranking - 18 (26 last week)

Heroes - Ablett, Dal Santo, Bartel, ROK, Chappy, Adcock, Porps, Hodge, Goddard

Villians - Ballantyne, Cox, Buddy, Pav, Fisher

Injury concerns - Pav, Cox, Gilbee, Goodwin

Trades - Depends on Pav's injury, but more then likely none

Vent - Starting Ballantyne over M. Brown. Cox and his manky groin.

Kudos - Chappy, Ablett, Porps

Thoughts - Being consistant which is rewarding. My aim is to finnish Top 1000 this year so i just have to keep it going. Pav is going to be a headache this week. So tempted to look at Didak

 

[razor1]

Score - 2644

Overall ranking - 34th (up 174 spots)

Heroes - ABLETT, Chapman, Goddard, Dal Santo, JBrown, Adcock, ROK, Roughead

Villains - Judd, HMac, Buddy, Gilbee and Deledio

League Status - Won all 3 games.

Injury concerns - Drummond should be back this week hopefully. Though I have Broughton and Rance as my emergencies and Broughton has been doing a great job.

Trades - Went Petrie for Cox and Dal Santo for Rich.....completing my team and netting me over 170 extra points.

Vent: Gilbee and Buddy.....not just this game but the whole year.

Kudos: Ablett.

Thoughts - I am down to only 2 trades but with a complete team and great emergency coverage on all lines (except ruck). These trades will be handled like gold and be used only in case of LTI. I might drop away big time towards the last few weeks of the season if injuries hit. Though managed to avoid any this week. My risk in trading out Cox payed off well....especially considering he will likely miss another week and his output for the remainder of the season has to be questioned.

 

[Hawkmad]

Score - 2183 (Includes 2 zero's)

Overall ranking - 9,267th (up 1,168 spots)

Heroes - Ablett (C) , Goddard , Gilbert , Adcock , Hurn , Dal Santo , Sandi & JBrown

Villains - Franklin , Higgins , Pavlich & (zero's from Drummond & Cox.)

League Status - Won all 3 leagues - 2183 def 1815 (1st) , 2183 def 2007 (3rd) & (Div 5) 2183 def 2074 (10th)

Injury concerns - Drummond , Cox & Pavlich

Trades - Last week went - Sidebottom > J. Brown This week not sure either none & play M.Brown in Pav's place or might look at maybe Pav > A. Davey???? (7 trades left)

Vent: Just Franklin sooo tempted to get rid of him.

Kudos: Ablett (C) & my 4 St Kilda players - Goddard(121),Gilbert(126),Dal Santo(147) & Riewoldt(96) finished off my week nicely.

Thoughts - Fairly happy with things atm. Last 4 weeks have not scored under 2183 so heading in the right direction after a poor first half of the season. Have got a couple more upgrades to go. My only real issues are as stated above is Franklin wasting a place on the ground (would be better playing M. Brown instead of him) & Salopek sitting on the pine doing nothing.

 

[woodyman]

Score - 2197

Overall ranking – 5th (down 3 spots)

Heroes - ABLETT, Chapman, Goddard, Dal Santo, JBrown, Hodge, Gia

Villains – Muston covering pendles sucked. Pavlich getting injured. Gilbee struggling. Fisher sucking. Copped a zero from cox. Warren getting injured. etc

League Status – Sitting 2nd, 3rd and 1st

Injury concerns – Drummond, better be back this week. Gilbee doesn’t look right. Pendles hopefully back this week but unlikely. Pavlich, and my only cover warren getting injured… Cox…

Trades – Trying to wait but it’s tough.

Vent: Fisher……. Enough said… I buy you and you average 50 for me. You suck.

Kudos: Gia getting injured and still getting a decent score.

Thoughts – Supercoach is killing my weekends. Getting quite frustrating. It was a tough week for injuries. Especially pav getting injured and warren who would have started next week getting injured. Might need some creative trades soon if pendles misses much more. Last 2 weeks have been very frustrating. Trades are so important at this time of the year.

 

[Hondo]

Score - 2110

Overall ranking - 3482 (down about 400 spots)

Heroes - ABLETT, Swan, Goddard, Gilbert, Mackie, Anthony (for a rookie), J Brown

Villains - Rance (for Drummond), Kruezer (again), Judd, Selwood, Spuddy, Higgins, Kornes, Deledio

League Status - Finally back with a W, now one off top place and playing the number 1 team this week

Injury concerns - Cox but this will be a donut if he's out as I am not burning a trade there. Drummond hopefully will be back this week. Ziebell is a LTI to be upgraded this week. Hartlett and now Pav 3-4 weeks. Sidebottom got himself dropped at the worst time for my team.

Trades - 8 left. Will be upgrading Ziebell and deciding on what to do with Pav.

Vent: Spuddy Franklin why did I get you instead of ROK 4 weeks ago!!

Kudos: Ablett obviously but big kudos to 1 Dane Swan (last 5 weeks 149, 166, 139, 126, 167 ) and 2 Liam Anthony (had him from start) for getting a decent 78 in his first game and allowing me to turf Muston to the bench!

Thoughts - I still feel my team is on the edge of a big score. This week I had 9 of my keepers score between 60-80 only and that's what's holding me back rather than playing a few rookies. Very frustrating because rookie upgrades won't solve the core problem there.

 

[Skystyler]

Score - 2113

Overall ranking - 199 (down a further 56 spots)

Heroes - ABLETT, Goddard, Gilbert, ROK, DidakMackie, Anthony (for a rookie), J Brown

Villains - Judd, Selwood, Kornes. Cox, Drummond & Pav for getting hurt. Stokes, Broadbent and Pearce for not getting picked after making the 25. Ballantyne for a god awful debut.

League Status - irrelevent

Injury/form concerns - Pav and Cox, like just about everybody else. Drummond must come back in this week, so must Stokes

Trades - not enough

Vent: Kane Kornes. I just want him gone. Dont know what I was thinking at the start of the year, or why I kept him instead of Hasleby or Rich

Kudos: Ablett over 200 is amazing. Didak, I hate you but I'm glad your back in my team. Goodsey & ROK, keep it up fellas. Shame your season is all but over and its not even July.

Thoughts - like the swans, my tilt at the prize is slip-sliding away. Was 15th just a few rounds ago. Losing Pav at the same time Sidey gets dropped is a body-blow. HB better fire up and show something next week against Carlton.
