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 - 2113

Overall ranking - 147th (down 35 spots and on the slide)

Heroes - Chapman, Gilbee, Gibbs, Judd, Selwood, Higgins. Also my 3 'weakest links' in Hurn, Grimes and Broughton

Villains - Duddy, Rich, JBrown.

League Status - Won 2/3 games. Sitting pretty in $ league

Injury concerns - Just when i need cover for Cox, JWhite gets dropped. DONUT. Need cover for late with drawal in stevieJ, walker gets dropped. DONUT. Goodwin, Drummond, Cox... pretty screwed ova with short term injuries right now.

Trades - Any trades this week will be for injuries or to get rid of Duddy.

Vent: Buddy has gone too far!!

Kudos: Broughton and Grimes. My two highest scorers. Paid about 270k to get both of them

Thoughts - Score was a bit below expectations, but cant do much about injuries, especially late withdrawals. Still plodding along.

How was your supercoach weekend?

 

[Speck]

Score - 2012

Overall ranking - 1044th (Massive slide from 220th two weeks ago)

Heroes - Gilbert, Hurn, Broughton, Grimes, Judd, Gibbs, Bartel, Chapman, Higgins

Villains - Rich, Mitchell, Fev, Boomer and Captain Neon

League Status - Won 2/3. On top in all three I think.

Injury concerns - Cox, Goodwin, S Johnson all hurt me with three doughnuts. Add C Cornes and Warren on the bench.

Trades - No way with only 4 left.

Vent: Why did I choose Neon? Could have been Jimmy, Judd or even Dal!

Kudos: Broughton, Grimes and Hurn saving me.

Thoughts - Those bloody three doughnuts and Neon Leon!

 

[sblack]

Score - 2372 (5 week avg of 2339)

Overall ranking - 845 (Up from ~9k in round 9, up 700 places this week)

Heroes - Broughton, Grimes, Judd, ROK, Bartel, Chapman, Higgins, Deledio

Villains - Rich, HMac, JBrown, Grima, Captain Ablett

League Status - Won 3/3. #1 Ranked league into 6th. #3 Ranked league into 6th

Injury concerns - Drummo (should be back this week), Cox (ditto)

Trades - No way with only 3 left.

Vent: Pretty happy

Kudos: Geelong v St. Kilda. Took 900 points from 8 guys there. As well as Broughton and Grimes as overachievers

 

[Spudregus_87]

Score - 2017

Overall ranking - 9,742. Consistent over the past 3 weeks with overall rankings of 9,140 + 9,136 + this week's effort.

Heroes - Broughton, Grimes, Adcock, Judd, Selwood, Chapman & Didak.

Villains - Duddy, Rich & Petrie (+ no cover for Drummond, Cox, Pavlich or Warren )

League Status - Won 2/3 games. Sitting 1st, 2nd & 3rd.

Injury concerns - Cox, Pav & Drummond. Warren will hopefully be fixed in the next 2-4 weeks, depending on Chornes' return/form, as this will determine who I trade for cash out of Grimes, Broughton or Chornes.

Trades - Probably none this week, waiting on Chornes' return.

Vent: Buddy = Duddy. And injuries suck.

Kudos: Broughton and Grimes. Two of my three highest scorers (with Judd).

Thoughts - Score was a bit below expectations, but cant do much about injuries, especially late withdrawals. Happy for now, but Warren and Rich/Sidebottom need to turn into a premiums, hopefully Riewoldt and Pendles.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Score - 2244 with 0 for Cox

Overall ranking - 16 overall, HAPPY

Heroes - Grimes, Adcock, Selwood, Chapman & Didak.

Villains - Duddy, J.Brown, Hmac

League Status - WHO CARES

Injury concerns - Cox, still taking a 0 in rucks

Trades - None

Vent: Buddy, but i'll stick with him. My big vent is seeing every1 else take Broughton's score whilst covering for injuries. That hurts as i have him benched as all my top rated backs are playing.

Kudos: Grimes & Adcock & Didak

Thoughts - Just consistant

 

[woodyman]

Score - 2096

Overall ranking – 14th (down 9 spots)

Heroes - Broughton, Grimes, Hodge, Judd, Selwood, Voldt, Chapman, Deledio,

Villains - Pendles, Davis, J Brown, Rich

League Status - Dont care

Injury concerns - Pendles didn’t look right. Drummond needs to come back... Cox, Pavlich and Warren.

Trades – I need to do something to stop this downward spiral. So far my trades this year have been bloody horrible.

Vent: Getting Davis into my team did not help at all, should have just gone the rookie option of Ballantyne instead. I would have rathered Pendles didn’t play as Anthony scored more than him on the bench. O well. Need Drummond back, and Cox and Pav but that will take a few weeks. The thing that hurt me biggest this week was having to trade GIA. That turned my season and plans on its head.

Kudos: Broughton and Grimes... Guns... who do I bench for Drummond.. hmm

Thoughts: Well another bad week for me as I expected. Pavlich out with no cover hurt and Cox of course. Need to pull some more trades this week. My unique players all sucked and after Friday night’s scores from Davis and pendles I knew I was stuffed from the weekend and I was over it.
Gotta do some more trades this week and hope some players can turn their form around and I can move back up. Need some injuries to some players I dont have.
First time dropped out of top 10 since Rd 5. Not having buddy is helping me big time. But overlooking DIdak and ROK is the last month is hurting me more.

 

[nethermage]

all i'll say is that i was just outside the top 1000 going into this week 2 weeks ago i was top 700 and this week pavlich stevie j cox geary buddy all conspired to give me a score of 1782 and drop 1300 places. Being my first season i was expecting a drop at some stage but these last 3 weeks have been killer

 

[toquick]

Score - 2522

Overall ranking - 2185 (up 3002)

Heroes - Judd, Selwood, Higgins, Grimes, Broughton, R O'K, Lids, Harbrow, Bartel, Jolly, Lake, Gilbert, Roo

Villains - Davey, Ablett (capt), Pendles, Pav (no cover), Goddard, NDS, Enright

League Status - Won both leagues

Injury concerns - With the Pav injured i needed Walker to stay in Adelaids lineup, unfortunatly he got dropped, I didnt have any cover for him with Cornilius not getting a game.

Trades - No trades this week

Vent: Pendles is killing me his last 2 scores have made him have a huge price drop! Fisher hasnt been anywhere near the super coach player he was last year!

Kudos: Broughton and Grimes. Paid about 270k to get both of them ... R'OK has been amazing in his last 6-7 weeks, i had him from the start. Bartel in for Rich was a good trade last week with a points difference of nearly 100 on the weekend.

Thoughts - My best super coach score ever! Also my highest weekely ranking which was 30. Im very happy with how i am going at the moment but things can turn on there head so quickly in this game. I have jumped up from a ranking of 10,205 in round 8 to be ranked 2185 after round 14.

 

[Bloods]

Score - 2258 (with a 0 for Cox)

Overall Ranking - 786 (Up 294)

Heroes - Judd, Broughton, Grimes, Bartel, O'Keefe, Higgins, Mackie, Riewoldt, Power, Ablett, Hodge, Nahas

Villains - Roughead, McIntosh

League Status - First, First, Fourth.

Trades - None.

Vent - Not happy with Roughy being so up and down.

Kudos - Broughton and Grimes - going to be a tough selection decision when Drummond finally comes back.

Thoughts - Very happy to break into the top 1000. Have moved up every week since round 1, after being 75,000th+ after the first round. Not too many injury concerns and scoring well every week.

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Score - 2341

Overall ranking - 8th (12th last week)

Heroes - Judd, Broughton, Grimes, Chappy, Gibbs, Didak, Gilbert

Villains - J.Brown, Buddy

League Status - Won all games, still on top in each league.

Injury concerns - Possibly Sandi and maybe Cox aswell.

Trades - No trades.

Vent: **** you Buddy.

Kudos: Broughton and Grimes

Thoughts - Very happy to be 8th.

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

Score: 2046

Overall: Don't Care

Leagues: Won them all - 5th, 3rd, 1st.

Heroes: Finally a decent list of them!!! Judd, Bartel, Broughton, Grimes, Hurn, Gilbert, Higgins. Special mention to Hill who looks like he might finally fulfill his potential.

Doing their job; Newman, K.Cornes, Kruezer, Gilbee

Villains: Ablett (Captain), McIntosh, Wirra, Duddy (Though I am glad I only paid $435k for him)

Injury concerns: Goodwin (Hope this week), Pav, Hartlett (Would really love a bench midfielder), S Johnson (What's wrong with him?), Rich (May be a question mark over him this week)

Trades: Trying to avoid them but lets see what happens. Maybe Harvey or Ballantyne into the fwd line depending upon selections this week.

Vent: **** you Buddy. **** you very much.

Thoughts: I can probably win all my league games this week so might just sit tight. Harvey is tempting as is Ballantyne. Given the perfromance of my backs this week, I might just forget about Drummond so I can get rid of Buddy. I think there's more value there. Pretty happy with my score seeing as I had 2 donuts, Franklin and Ablett was down a bit.

 

[Superfluous]

Score: ~2350

Overall: into the top 150

Leagues: Won both, 1st & 2nd overall

Heroes: Pretty solid alround this week. Def cover was great with Broughton/Grimes. Adcock definitive keeper now. Judd/Bartel/Chappy all big scores.

Doing their job; Power/Gilbert/Krak

Villains: Buddy/Fevola. Fwd line in disarray at the moment.

Injury concerns: Chornes/SJohnson/Cox.

Trades: $'s. Silvester/Ballantyne in is the plan. From seeing both this week I think they'll be solid backups for the rest of the year.

Vent: Buddy. I really don't like the kid so at least I get some perverse enjoyment out of his form. Even if it does hurt my SC score.

Thoughts: Power forwards just arent doing it this year. Small rotating midfielders ala chappy/didak seem like the best FWD scorers these days.
40,000th last year, going for top 100 this year. Big improvement

 

[Hondo]

Score - 2107

Overall ranking - 3390 (held stready)

Heroes - Bock, Broughton, Gilbert, Mackie, Selwood, Swan, Judd, Kruezer, Higgins.

Villains - Duddy, JBrown and Harvey scored 103 between them.

League Status - Lost but still sitting equal 3rd

Injury concerns - Same story this week - Pav, Drummond and Cox, Hartlett. Don't seem to have any new ones out of round 15.

Trades - Maybe a cash grap in preparation for finals.

Vent: Spuddy Franklin instead of ROK 5 weeks ago has cost be 2 league games and probably 1500 ranking spots.

Kudos: Kruezer outscored the 2nd ruckman I wished I had - HMac. Liam Anthonly averaging 82 in his 2 first games after I kept him from the start. Greg Boughton = WOW

Thoughts - Score should have been higher but for my underperforming forward line. The overall is out of contention so will be focussing on my league from here.

 

[Skystyler]

Score: 2214

Overall: 186 (up 13)

Leagues: irrelevent

Heroes: Broughton, Grimes, Gilbert, Dempsey, ROK, Didak, Judd, Selwood.

Villains: Buddy, Goodes, NicNat, HMac

Injury concerns: Need Drummond back. A donut in the backline this week.

Trades: $'s. Silvester/Ballantyne in is the plan. From seeing both this week I think they'll be solid backups for the rest of the year.

Vent: WTF has Broadbent got to do to get a game in that shiity Port Adelaide team. That club is a basketcase. Why would you give Choco his job back when he recycles the same old bunch of hacks every frickin' week.

Thoughts: Next week I will be benching Buddy and taking a donut in the forwards. I dont want to take the chance he gets a negative score.

 

[zan5hin]

Score - 2266

Overall ranking - 2,809th (up 1,157 spots)

Heroes - Gardiner, Grimes, Judd, Gilbert, Anthony

Villains - Lockyer

League Status - Was sitting 6th expecting a loss against the top guy in our league. Thanks to Stevie J missing, I managed to beat him, even without Cox and having Walker on the ground with a donut. Very suprised to win, but now I have a great shot at the double chance.

Injury concerns - Cox, Pav and CChornes all out, however I have easy wins next two rounds so no big deal.

Trades - Rich -> Anthony was great last week, now will be moving Houlihan -> Silvester and Ziebell -> Chapman.

Vent: Taylor Walker is a spud of the first degree, Petrenko not much better.

Kudos: Was ecstatic with Gardiner's performance, my opponent had Jolly and Kozi, thought I was screwed for sure. Judd and Gibbs also stepped up when it counted, and I am loving Grimes.

Thoughts - I'm tracking alright, 9 trades left and I've mapped out a scenario where I have enough money, trades and guns throughout the finals.

 

[Stanton]

score 2222

overall 756 up 180

Heroes Juddy, Broughton, Hurn, Scott Thompson, Grimes, basically my backline and mid field are firing at the minuite

Villains Duddy! really wish i didnt trade him in when could of had roo, rok etc, This trade i reckon has cost me being around the top 100! Other duds this week, Mcintosh, Roughhead, Fev, Johnathon Brown

Leagues 1st in my cash league, 8th in Big footy div 5, 3rd in a friends work league. only care about the first 2 though really.

Injuries Cornes but due back this week! Cox also hopefully back this week. Team is looking strong with these inclusions. Only issue is who to drop for the Chad? Probably will be Mundy

TradesNo trades for me this week, 5 left, will consider Pendlebury for Kane Cornes next week, would love to get rid of Duddy but dont have any cash and no doubt as soon as i trade him will come good!

Vent Traded out Mackie 2 weeks ago for Hodge, has since averaged 110! Wish i didnt have Buddy, but just about everyone has him so cant really get too upset..

Thoughts
Pretty happy with how the team is progressing, hope Cox comes back this week. Just gonna hold off on trades, hope to rise into the top 200 by the end of the season, at the very least top 500.

 

[FBDonkey]

Thoughts: Next week I will be benching Buddy and taking a donut in the forwards. I dont want to take the chance he gets a negative score.

GOLD

 

[Snake_Eyes]

Score - 2169

Overall ranking - 3 (down 1 spot)

Heroes - ROK, Broughton, Grimes, Judd, Chappy

Villains - Buddy, JBrown, HMac

League Status - Doing ok.

Injury concerns - Biggest is Cox. The leader has cover. I don't. Pendles - hope he is back to full movement this week.

Trades - I almost had a heart attack when I was following the Melbourne game on FF and the words 'Davey reported' popped up. I traded him in last week, so would have been spewing if he got games. He made a fair recovery from the 2pt first quarter...

Vent: The Higgins to Buddy trade. I am blaming the Bulldogs and 'groingate'. Shocking. Not going to add up the wasted points....

Kudos: My backline. All good scores. Difficult decision on who to drop for Drummond!

Thoughts - Second down week in a row. As has been said by others, it all comes down to the unique players and trades remaining...

Cheers

 

[Parasite]

....

Kudos: My backline. All good scores. Difficult decision on who to drop for Drummond!

Good news is that Drummond is 'doubtful' again, so you might not have to worry about that.

 

[Felixes Felines]

Score - 2066

Overall ranking - 84 (down 39)

Heroes - ROK, Broughton, Judd, Jimmy B, Chappy, Adcock

Villains - Duddy, JBrown, HMac, Stevie J late withdrawal

League Status - 1st & 4th.

Injury concerns - Pav, Cox & Stevie J.

Trades - Probably none.

Vent: The Higgins to Buddy trade also. I am so pissed off with the Bulldogs and 'groingate' (thanks Snake eyes). I have added up the wasted points and it is 265 in favour of Higgins.

Kudos: Backline boys Broughton & Adcock.

Thoughts - With lowish score happy to still be in top 100. Need Cox & Stevie J back to make a full side. Have Nahas covering for Pav.

 

[johno_1989]

Score - 2300

Overall ranking - 732 (up 415 spots)

Heroes - Broughton, Grimes, Judd, Chappy, McMahon, Gibbs, Lids, Higgins

Villains - Fev, JBrown, HMac, Stevie J

League Status -
1st league - 4th
2nd league - 3rd
BF league - 4th

Injury concerns - Stevie J, Pav and Drummond. Not really worried about drummond since Grimes and Broughton have been posting some really nice scores. Stevie J and Pav are the worries mostly as i only have Ballantye as back up.

Trades - Thinking about Haselby to Pendles but might be a bit of a sideways trade leaving me with 4 trades Left

Vent: Fev and JB have been far to inconsistent for me this year! Don't know what i was thinking. Could of bought ROK instead of JB

Kudos: Backline and Midfield have been on fire over the past 5 weeks delvering some very nice scores.

Thoughts - Wrapped that i finally got back into the top 1000

 

[Shibada123]

Score - 2167 (0 Drummond)

Overall ranking - 268 (down 2 spots)

Heroes - Hurn, Broughton, Grimes, Judd, Hayes, Deledio, Higgins

Villains - Duddy, Brown, Hmac, Goodes

League Status - Two Leagues both first.

Injury concerns - Pav and Drummond. No cover for Drummond, M.Brown for Pav

Trades - Probably none

Vent - Franklin... absolute spud.

Kudos - Grimes & Broughton

Thoughts - When Pav is back I might bench Duddy instead of M. Brown.

 

[Hot Tiges]

Score - 2110 Including Cox duck

Overall ranking - 2141 (up 1 spot lol)

Heroes - Broughton, Grimes, Judd, Selwood, Riewoldt, Lids, Higgins, Bock

Villains - Fev, Franklin, HMac and to a certain degree Rich

League Status -
1st league - 1st
2nd league - 3rd


Injury concerns - Cox, Pavlich and perhaps Goodes. Rumours of Pav wanting to play this week are most likely rumours. Prefer he had the extra week to prolong his season. Have Mitchy Brown as cover and scoring well enough. No back up for Cox again, saw no value in Naitinui and had both league games under raps. Hope Cox is back this week. Goodes looked out of touch and some people thought it may have been groin problems but hopefully just a bad game..

Trades - Traded in the Porpise last week so forward line is complete. This week I'm tempted to do Sam Wright to Ballantyne for finals or Hill > Silvester/Hurley top open Rich > Pendlbury to complete my team next week. Cue injuries and omissions.

Vent: Franklin.. pure and simple.. jumped on after he was around 460k when of course I could of gone O'Keefe..

Kudos: Grimes and Broughton have saved me (so far) from frigging around with the backline this year and will surely be keepers. The consistencey of Riewoldt has been huge. Got him round 5 with his 2 lowest scores of 96 Higgins just keeps on keeping on

Thoughts - 5 trades and 4.3k left so it's getting tight. Preying the backline can hold up and injuries don't hit anymore of my players. haha yeah right..

 

[Koutafidamedis]

Score - 2275

Overall ranking - 278

Heroes - Broughton, Grimes, Judd, Chapman, Hurn Selwood

Villains - Cox, McIntosh, Gartlett, Davey

League Status - Won 3/3 games. = 2nd, 4th & 3rd.


Trades - Probably none this week. Saving my 6 for finals


Vent: McIntosh - hoping he can get back to his early season form.

 

[BlueGibbs2011]

team: Prancer

score 2215

overall 298

Heroes My new premiums in Broughton and Grimes; and a late season trade in R Okeefe - you are superhuman!!

Villains FuddyDuddy, Apple Macintosh, Uglyhead, Fev, Cox, Gia and Mcglynn!!

Leagues Who cares about league crap - it's about the TOTAL POINTS GLORY!!

Injuries Gia, Cox, and Drummond - please harden the crap up guys!!

Trades No trades for me this week with 1 golden ticket trade left! I cant sleep nights just wondering how spend this lucky last trade. Voices are whispering non stop...gia to didak and glory is yours it says...and then another voice...dont be an idiot - idiot, save your last golden ticket for a rainy day!! It's doing my head in, I just want to click that Trade button quick as a mouse and be done with it!!

Vent Give us more trades you freaks!! Cant you understand 20 is not nearly enough for people with a compulsive trade disorder!!

Thoughts
Stop the season now!!
