SuperCoach Weekend Wrap Up | Round 9

Read Time:3 Minute, 48 Second

How good was Friday night! The start of the round. Another weekend of SuperCoach for us. And to top it off, Tommy Highmore makes it back into the team! A late in for the Saints and a big win for plenty of coaches, a number of whom were no longer having to contemplate a donut in their defence.

Geelong got the win as expected, with the usual suspects of Cam Guthrie and Mitch Duncan performing well. I’m just annoyed I have neither of them in my team even after having an eye on them for so long.

As the Swans took the points over the Pies Tom Hickey continued to reward coaches. If you’ve had him since the start of the season you’d be a very happy coach. Not only is he making cash but he’s making plenty of precious points in the ruck line. He top scored for the match, which at 118 doesn’t really speak well of the rest of the players on the field.

In their first win for the season North toppled the Hawks and Jy Simpkin reminded us of his high ceiling. Remember him from last season? A score of 164 rewarded the 1.9% of coaches that own him and was the highest score across all lines. Others, like Goldstein, Cunnington, and Hall all scored well for North too. For the Hawks they had a few tons, but nothing to really change our plans. In the tale of the Tommy’s, Tom Mitchell only just got over his BE for the round and is still a very good price at 532k.

Brisbane annihilated Gold Coast through the likes of Dayne Zorko, Jarryd Lyons, and Hugh McCluggage. Every one of these players is worth having in your side, particularly with Neale out. Over and over again they score tons and often high ones and that. I think we’ll just move past the Suns this week.

A great comeback from the Tigers saw them get up over GWS. There were plenty of points going around in this game, and particularly pleasing were the scores for Josh Kelly and Matt Flynn owners. Toby Greene is now out for a month though, so more pain for coaches hoping to finalise their forward lines. The Tigers had Baker and Martin top their team scores, but what is also important for cash generation is Collier-Dawkins’ 88. He spent considerable time in the midfield and around the ball. He’ll be earning good cash in coming weeks with the amount of injuries Richmond are dealing with.

The Doggies, headed by Marcus Bontempelli, Jackson Macrae, and Caleb Daniel, had a good win over Port. Wines and Boak did their things for their coaches, but it is the long injury list that has caused havoc for many.

Darcy Parish, Nick Hind, and Jordan Ridley all had good games for the Bombers win over Freo. Ridley is about as low as you’ll get him so it might be time to pounce and shore up your defence. Sean Darcy continues to put up good scores for the 2% of teams that have him and Andrew Brayshaw rewarded the 21,000 coaches that have him.

Melbourne keep rolling on, causing all sorts of confusion for their fans and fans in general. The confusion surrounds them actually winning games, which now looks like they can actually do it with consistency, but also for their members who have to decide when they should duck off up to the winter chalet for that well deserved mini-break. I digress.

There were some excellent scores from some of the families faces–Clayton Oliver, Tom McDonald, Max Gawn, Christian Salem, and Christian Petracca. Gawn may not have had the score we wanted, particularly as a captain’s choice, but James Jordon will continue making cash for us over the upcoming bye rounds. For Carlton, the two Sam’s–Docherty and Walsh–kept their end up (for Supercoach at least). And after the debacle of a presser by their coach this week it seems they replicated his form on the field.

The final game of the round saw the Eagles beat the Crows. West Coast have many players worth considering for our teams–Tim Kelly, Nic Nat, and Alex Witherden to suggest a few. They all scored well and showed their value this week. Witherden particularly, at 428k, is a D6 possibility.

All in all another solid round with a few positives and challenges along the way. All the best for the coming weekend.

SuperCoach Weekend Wrap | Round 6

Read Time:3 Minute, 32 Second

Injuries, injuries, injuries. What more needs to be said. It was the round for it. In 13 years of playing this game I’m not sure I’ve seen a start quite like this. To have so many premiums out at one time, so early on in the season, it certainly feels unique this year. But in the words of the all wise and knowledgeable Conor McGregor, “An injury is not just a process of recovery, it’s a process of discovery.”

Embed from Getty Images

This early on in the week it feels more like recovery; particularly for those coaches dealing with multiple outs. I feel for coaches I know who need to manage Josh Dunkley, Lachie Neale, and Dustin Martin all at the same time. Just like I feel for the poor bloke I know that traded Neale in about 10 minutes before the bounce. Ooft. Needless to say, it’s these three injuries that will be taking up the majority of the Supercoach conversion this week.

To continue on with McGregor’s wisdom, it’s fair to say that we are now in a week of discovery. The opportunities we have before us for some unique points of difference in our teams makes this a fun week. If you’re still in the recovery stage, this might not sound so fun but you’ll get there.

In my mind, we’ve got three places of opportunity. Or as I like to call it, POO.

First, is the opportunity to bring fresh blood into our forward line.

I will grant you, there aren’t many standouts here.

One of the most popular trades will be Steele Sidebottom. He’s been increasingly finding form and numbers, and importantly he’s now priced under $500k. Toby Greene is another solid option, and is certainly being praised for his on-field maturity in the media these past few weeks. He’s the 4th best forward right now, priced at the $500k mark, and has 10% ownership. Tom McDonald and Shai Bolton have averaged decent numbers the past few weeks. I’m not personally looking at them, but you do you.

Second, is the opportunity to repair/improve/change our ruck strategy.

Those who are still dealing with the Matt Flynn ruck strategy could use this time to move to a set-and-forget policy. We have no idea what Leon Cameron’s ruck policy is and whether Shane Mumford will come back sooner rather than later. This week can now be a time where we define our own ruck policy more clearly.

If you’re not going to go to Gawn or Grundy then perhaps NicNat, Reilly O’Brien, or even Sean Darcy would do the job well. It might be a more conservative route, but then it could pay-off in the long run and give other options elsewhere. Again, you do you.

Third, is the opportunity to bring some PODs, particularly in the midfield.

As it stands I only have two of the top 10 midfielders right now. Yes, it concerns me. But I suspect there may be some players on this list that you don’t have either. Think Cam Guthrie, David Mundy, and Jarryd Lyons; all under 6% ownership. Other options outside of the top 10 include Touk Miller (0.6%), Jaeger O’Meara (1.5%), and Luke Parker (1.8%), who have averaged 105+ over the past few weeks. I mean, there’s more to add here too: Adam Trealoar (3.1%), Ollie Wines (1.6%), and Hugh McCluggage (2.2%), who are all scoring well and all able to be snatched up at a decent price.

Become a Patron!

Whatever your injury concerns may be this week I hope you can see this as a time of discovery, Conor McGregor would want you too. And I mean, you’ve got to do those recovery required rage trades too of course. Anyway, you do you.

Till next week!

Supercoach Weekend Wrap | Round 5

Read Time:3 Minute, 45 Second

As Monty Python’s “The Life Brian” reminds us, we’ve always got to look on the bright side of life. For despite another round of carnage for many coaches there were plenty of positives to take away from this weekend’s games. Let’s at least name some of these before moving to the more critical issues many have to deal with.

Embed from Getty Images

Nine tons from the Eagles meant there were plenty of coaches happy with some of their selections. Liam Duggan top scored and Alex Witherden had a great debut. There’s a couple of possible options in an already packed defensive line.

The Bulldogs do what the Bulldogs do and have such great midfield depth that plenty get on the scoreboard. Josh Dunkley, Jackson Macrae, and Marcus Bontempelli were all exceptional for our teams. Even when Bont goes forward he still manages to grab the points we want him to, it’s just a beautiful thing right now.

Surely we all want Lance Franklin to reach 1000 goals in his career. If that’s the case then we may see more scores like that on Saturday. It was a tough loss in the end for the Swans, mind you, all us Matt Flynn owners are possibly in for a tough few weeks still as Shane Mumford and his 669 owners continue to celebrate. He was the highest scorer and only ton for GWS.

Port Adelaide did a number on Carlton and also had plenty of 100’s. Sam Walsh the only consolation for Blues fans with a terrific 144.

Lachie Neale did what all his owners have wanted him to do all season. He showed what he’s capable of and the high ceiling he has. His fellow midfielder, Hugh McCluggage was also impressive and is perhaps one to keep an eye on. Zach Merrett the only positive for the Dons.

There were some good scores in the Crows–Dockers game. David Mundy keeps going, Liam Ryan another good option for us in the backline, Nat Fyfe and Andrew Brayshaw all in the mix as well.

Reilly O’Brien looks like a genuine upgrade target for those, like me, having to deal with a disastrous ruck situation. Locking him in alongside Max Gawn, who absolutely dominated and is now the number one scorer not only in his position but overall, would be a consistent combo.

Geelong didn’t have to do too much to beat North, but Tom Stewart and Sam Menegola certainly provided a helpful lift for some coaches. Jack Ziebell continues on with his excellent scoring and is currently the third best forward in the game.

See, there are plenty of positives to talk about. But, yes, you’re right. There are issues galore as well. One way to look at this past weekend is to see it through the tale of the Jordan’s.

Become a Patron!

Friday night didn’t go well for any Pies supporters or Jordan De Goey coaches. Having to deal with a score of 4 just makes it a tough round, having him drop by $57.6k is salt into the wounds, and then the fact that he’ll miss next week as well. I don’t know what that is, death by a 100 papercuts? Coaches will have to decide though, is it an easy sell or a gutsy hold?

The other Jordan is old mate Jordan Ridley. Off with concussion saw his score stand at 31 and he’ll also miss the ANZAC Day clash. What made this one worse for many coaches was the decision to offload Caleb Daniel to upgrade to him. That is the definition of carnage.

And the final Jordan worth mentioning here is Jordan Clark. These rolling team selections are causing issues every weekend and this week over 50% of teams were impacted by his omission from the Cats squad.

There’s more we could speak of here too; Mumford taking Flynn’s spot in the ruck, breakevens creeping higher and higher for a number of our rookies, and the few downgrade options coming through.

Whatever weekend you had, I hope you make decisions you’re happy with in the coming days. After all, we’ve got to look on the bright side don’t we?

SuperCoach | Weekend Wrap | Round 4

Read Time:4 Minute, 10 Second

Where on earth did this carnage come from!?

Midweek there was no inclination about what was to unfold across this weekend. Sure, the weather reports were telling us it’d be the coldest day of the year but no one warned us it would affect so many players this weekend.

Embed from Getty Images

The carnage didn’t start with the early round games, it came at team selection. The stress began when Matt Flynn was managed out of GWS. For those of us all-in on the Flying Flynn R2 ruck strategy were hit by a bouncer we didn’t see. We just hope it’s only one week of management rather than a few. For those risky Zac Williams owners Friday night only got worse as he was confirmed a no-show for the GCS game. And then for the Sunday games we’re told Rory Sloane could be out for a month with a rather concerning injury, and he was looking so good! Then perhaps the final straw of selection was Jacob Koschitzke out of the Hawks team, causing all sorts of defensive issues for us.

In terms of actual performances carnage didn’t arrive until Saturday. The Swans kept up their good performances and cash generation for us. Jordan Ridley did his thing. As did Jayden Short. And nothing particularly drastic occurred in the Power v Tigers match, although Orazio Fantasia owners are probably done with him.

But it was a Saturday special of poor performances by a number of players we expect better from that turned this weekend. Nearly 50,000 teams are filthy with Caleb Daniel and his 19 points. Yes, 19 points! And with 79% game time! And then late Sunday he gets one week from the MRO. I’m betting he’ll be the first rage trade for most this morning. Joe Daniher owners were expecting more than 34 points from 96% match time, especially now that the game is suited to key-forwards this year. Like the Bombers did last year it might be time to say bye bye. There are others too. I won’t mention Lachie Neale, but I will mention Jordan de Goey. Ouch.

As MJ and Kane talked about on last week’s podcast, it’s time to raise the issue of Josh Kelly in these weekly wrap-ups. Let’s face it, he’s not getting the scores we’re expecting from a premium midfielder, and we can place the blame for that squarely at Leon Cameron’s feet. Why on earth Kelly isn’t one of the main midfielders and chasing down everything everywhere is confusing to say the least. Kelly scores his best when he’s in the middle and the guts of the play, at the moment that’s not happening enough. He’s averaging 20 points less per game than he did last season (114.6). It’s killing me, as I’m sure it is those other 9300 coaches.

On Sunday we saw some good scores from the ruckmen – Gawn, Darcy, and O’Brien. Fyfe, Hall, Scholl, and Petracca all scored well for their respective sides. And it seemed like a more positive way to end the round. One must feel for Luke McDonald though, within minutes of his first game back for North he’s injured again. Unlucky for those 1437 coaches who had him in their side.

Given it’s now Round 4 it’s worth making a couple of points to finish this up.

First, the Bulldogs continue to share the points around and Macrae continues his excellent form. Adam Treloar also looks like he’s warmed up and settling into his new home as part of the setup there. The Saints turned it around this week and show that there are plenty of points in them when they’re on. Jack Steele is shooting up the rankings, each week scoring better than the last.

Second, there are some nice little POD’s beginning to emerge. Jack Bowes has put up some great numbers – 146, 114, 95, 107. Jarryd Lyons has tonned up each game he’s played – 100, 103,139, 113. Hugh Greenwood, as I mentioned last week, looks to have found form – 50, 79, 135, 155. And Toby Greene is worth considering given the GWS set up – 86, 93, 117, 120. As we begin to offload those rookies it’s a good time to think what POD’s we might pick up along the way.

Third, the coming week or two are vital in assessing your team and making the critical rookie downgrade trades. There are a number now struggling to meet their break-even. This is a time to analyse how best to milk that cash and maintain scoring.

All the best!

SuperCoach Weekend Wrap | Round 2

Read Time:4 Minute, 13 Second

Did you know it was Earth Hour, the hour where we’re to switch off all the lights in our house to symbolically show we care for our planet, on Saturday night? No? Me either. My team North Melbourne seemed to know it was though, they were so into it they didn’t even switch on. What a disaster that was.

Enough of the real footy though, that’s not what we watch matches for–it’s all about the SuperCoach scores!

ROUND TWO

Round two started well with Thursday nights game between Carlton and Collingwood. Gee, doesn’t Darcy Moore look good? He could certainly be a keeper premo for our defensive line and a POD option too. Well done to the 2.3% of teams that had him already locked.

Already we can see there are a variety of good options for defence, and looks like the first positional line we can complete easily enough. Now with Short, Houston, and Moore in the mix, alongside the regulars of Lloyd, Laird, Stewart, Daniel, and co., we have some decisions to make in the coming weeks.

For all the controversy surrounding the Geelong v Brisbane match one thing is for certain, Lache Neale owners are very nervous. They’re like every ship owner in the world right now, hoping the Ever Given isn’t stuck in the Suez Canal for weeks and weeks. For Neale, his scores over the last couple of years have been a given for all of us coaches but the start of this year is raising serious concerns.

I’m thankfully not one of them, but if I was I would be working every angle to assess whether he stays or is one of the trades. Look at the fixture, remind yourself why you chose him in the first place, and have a close look at the role he is playing this year. Or, just go with your gut.

To see Grundy and Gawn get some decent scores across the weekend no doubt buoyed all of us, particularly those ‘set and forget’ strategists. Everything was made right in the SuperCoach world once again. Nic Nat is probably worth mentioning here but as usual there’s still some hesitation, more a wait and see.

The rookie Holy Trinity of Campbell, Gulden, and McDonald in the Swans line up make things very exciting for us. Gulden and Campbell are of particular note and won’t be traded out for a while. If he scores over 60 next week Gulden will break Michael Barlow’s record rookie price rise of $119.9k. And Flynn won’t be far behind. Do everything you can to get them in this week! Jordon and Jaith are also worth considering if you don’t have them either.

This can be the week that sets up our year. I suspect most of us will be using two trades to enable the most cash generation possible in the coming few weeks. It’s worth spending the time thinking about your team balance and where the value for money is coming from. For the first time in a few years there seems to be good rookie options available and some good cash coming our way if we play it right. Good luck!

More could be said about the weekend just gone. There were some great scores from Port Adelaide, they look like the real deal. Those 13,566 teams that moved Travis Boak in this week made the right call. Let’s not forget Butters too. The 5500 owners who brought Stephenson in will be thinking differently though. Bont had a great game, with a ripper first quarter of 57 points that carried on to a solid ton.

And even Gold Coast had seven players who scored over 100. Some positive signs this weekend. Perhaps the unlikeliest player this week was Connor Downie. Poor kid didn’t play as the injury sub last week and then for some odd reason gets ‘managed’. Tough.

But perhaps the highlight of the weekend wasn’t SuperCoach related at all. For me, it was the emotional and inspirational speech given by Garry Lyon in memory of his mate Danny Frawley. A reminder to the players and the crowd, and anyone watching, that there is a time to talk to your mates about what you’re going through. And as seriously as we may take SuperCoach by checking the scores after each game there are friends and family worth checking in on regularly.

All the best for Easter weekend!
