    Back before kids when we had disposable income, I used to go to a few Victory games a year and always loved it. Haven't been for a few years but I can only imagine it being a better experience these days. Have followed Victory since day one of the A league, and follow Chelsea in the EPL. I...

    As much, if not more, than Simpkin. The spot is his to lose. You only need him to play for another 6-7 weeks and he's done his job for you. In this form, he's not getting dropped any time soon.

    Rd 3 trades

    Not expecting 110 averages or anything but so many games at Etihad will definitely play a part.

    Rd 3 trades

    I'm starting to cool on trading either of Barlow or Rocky. I don't know why, just a gut feel. I really want to get JJ in though and am considering ditching Shaw temporarily with a view to get him back in down the track. Yes its burning a trade but it's also pocketing 200k plus who knows how many...

    Exactly. Both games this year he has come off injured. I know that no player is ever 100% but they can't take any more risks with him. Even if it's a 1 week thing, they should really give him 2 or 3 to get himself right.

    Nah. They won't risk him against an angry Geelong side at home.

    Fantasy Freako tweeted that Bartel is done as far as Supercoach goes. He was tracking ok until GWS took over the game. If he can average 90 then he's a keeper. Looks like it's a big "if" now though.

    35% of all teams had Danger as captain this week apparently. Cats were terrible all round. I was projecting 2300 comfortably, now will be lucky to scrape 2000 together.

    Murph was great for me in 2011-12, so I wouldn't hesitate getting him in again. He reminds of of Selwood a bit in the way he goes about it, and given my unashamed mancrush on Joel, it goes a long way to explaining why I'm a Murphy fan as well. Will be Interested to see how he goes against a...

    1404 with 8 to come, Danger as captain. Rocky, Barlow and Menadue for me too. Lonergan down back with 67 is frustrating considering he was around the ball so much. Gave away 3 or 4 free kicks as well so he should score better. Happy with Dea 87 considering he didn't seem to do much.

    I watched the whole game and he always seemed to be floating between wing and the forward 50m line. He had very little straight up midfield time.

    My issue with JJ was always that score discrepancy between Etihad and everywhere else. But at his price, even with the down games, I'm not sure you can afford not to have him. The game is always suited towards running rebounder defenders and he looks to have taken the #1 role off Boyd and...

    His role hasn't changed from last year. He's too slow to be damaging as a half forward, he doesn't kick goals and doesn't get enough of the ball. I only had him because FURL said he would be back in the midfield this year but as usual Ross is full of it. He's gone for me. I just haven't settled...

    Round 2 Discussion

    They've played 2 of last year's 4 prelim finalists and have Geelong in Geelong next week. Its a shocking run to start with. Rocky is proven but clearly not right. Rich has always been up and down and obviously still can't shake a tag. I don't think they're bad picks necessarily, just unlucky...

    Round 2 Discussion

    Yep. Rule #1 of Supercoach might be don't sideways trade your premiums but I don't think he will end the year a premium. I strongly doubt he will see round 3 in my side. Rockliff to Parker is extremely tempting too.

    I don't have Pendles. If that was the best he can do (and from all reports he largely dominated) then I'm comfortable without him. Dusty on the other hand... First upgrade target I think.

    Haha that was my thought as well... Kennedy could hit 120+ against the Dons if he plays anything like he did last week. I want to go with Gaz but just get the feeling after last week that Ross will close the game right down, even after saying he won't tag Ablett. I think Danger will be under a...

    No loophole this week. I've got Archie Smith at R3 and this is the one week for the first 12 weeks that he is useless to me... Unless I want to VC Laird or Bennedy. So Danger or Gaz?

    Pendles reportedly carrying a rib injury into the game tonight. Be careful loopholing him.
