    2017 Forward Primos

    Early days - prices have been out for ages - but SuperCoach site not yet open unless you had a gold subscription last year. Still the addiction is strong so here goes: Dahlhaus - looks a solid 1st pick in the forward line Macrae - looks a petty good 2nd pick Those two look the clear top picks...

    Yearly Wrap-up & Thanks

    Well, a disappointing year for me ending up with a rank of 12,078 - my worst ranking of the three years I've played SuperCoach - if fact after finishing in the 1000-2000 range my first year I've got worse each year which is a worry. Anyhow - thanks to all who gave me advice during the year...

    Round 17 Trades

    I tried to be good but I can see I'm going to run out of trades again this year. Ablett > Ward Collins > Docherty After these moves 2 trades left. Still have Kerridge as FWD/MID cover. Cox as RUC cover. Libba as MID cover / loophole when he is back. Backline very thin with Logan Austin and...

    Round 12 Discussion

    So ... I've brought Rocky in despite having a full primo midfield ... and I've go no midfield loopholes ... so here is my first world problem: Who do I sit on my bench? Libba away vs Port? Parker away vs GWS? Not Robbie Gray at home vs the Doggies ... Priddis at home vs the Crow? The rest are...

    Round 11 Captaincy

    Danger into Hanners? Or Hanners into Pendles? If only were could do a "Deputy Vice Captain" like we used to in primary school. Then I'd just go Danger into Hanners into Pendles ...

    Round 11 Trades

    Well Mathieson looks a very likely inclusion for me (everyone?) this week. Probably Hewitt out for me as my midfield is finished and I don't have many mid rooks to choose from. Then I'm guessing BenKen becomes Dollhouse. Round 14 bye very useful for my forward line and he's probably got as low...

    Round 10 Captaincy

    I know it is a little early to start this thread before the teams have been released, but oh well ... Hanners into Goldy worked out pretty well last week but I can't repeat the dose because they are playing against each other. This week I'm thinking Hanners into Pendles despite my Pendles...

    Round 9 Captaincy

    Doesn't seem clear cut to me this week. I'm thinking of putting the "C" on Goldy vs Carlton as Kruz is out is probably safe enough. Lots of choices fro VC: Hanners vs Hawks - solid choice but doesn't have a really high ceiling Parker vs Hawks - might be worth a risk as can go big Pendles...

    Rich - Risk vs Reward

    The Donkey was fairly bullish (pun intended) on the podcasts today about this guy. Haven't got him in my team at the moment but I have to admit he is the one in the backline that I've been wondering if I can fit in. Pro: Midfielder available in the backline (almost enough said) Priced under...

    Dollhouse?

    I know there are one or two Bullies fans sniffing around these forums - I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Dollhouse this year. The Donkey went pretty close to dismissing him in the Podcast today. But I'd had him pretty close to locked in as a good thing in the forward line ... Pros...

    Libba, O'Meara and Crouch

    OK ... on the podcast The Donkey called him out as part of the "triple lock" ... but can anyone else contemplate a serious case being made against him? Love Libba as a SuperCoach player and had him from the start two years ago but I've kinda got cold feet in him this year ...

    When are the Podcasts coming back?

    Prices have been out for ages ... season not that far away ... the boys are being a bit slow getting their first Podcast up aren't they?

    Rd 10 Upgrade Targets

    Dahlhaus looking pretty tempting to me. Looks to have taken another step and the Doggy's draw is pretty nice. He's no bargain but probably worth paying a fair price for.

    Rd 10 Downgrades

    Dumont looks like he might be the pick if you don't already have him. Around the 150K mark after one price rise. A week early for Hamling. A week early for Boston. Anyone else caught the eye?

    Theme Song

    I heard in the podcast that the theme song is about to change (I'm a non Twitter user) Question: what is the current theme song? I googled some of the lyrics which led me to a song by Pitbull but then I played it on spotify and it didn't sound the same ...

    Rd 9 Downgrades

    Karl Amon Dumont The dude from WB whose name I can't even remember No good options but anyone got an idea of how to pick between the bad options?

    Rd 9 Upgrade Targets

    Josh Gibson on my shopping list this week. Looks a bargain at 460K and some change. A couple of KPB have returned at The Hawks so his scoring may go back to a consistently high level after a few down weeks. Might mean missing out on Lids. I was hoping (from a SC point of view) that he'd take a...
