This week, in addition to discussing the return of Gary Ablett, we also ponder the third-coming of Tom Rockliff. Once bitten, twice shy, the third time – crazy? We also discuss Ivan Maric‘s one-week suspension and the best way to deal with his potential donut.

To start this week’s episode, we look at Adam Oxley in the backline. Is he finally on his last legs in our SuperCoach teams?
@supercoachcoach Would u trade Oxley to Rance?

We discuss Alex Rance, Tom McDonald, Josh Gibson, Corey Enright, Shaun Burgoyne & Liam Picken as replacement options.
In the midfield, Jobe Watson is out for the remainder of the season. We look at the viability of getting back on Tom Rockliff for the third time this year:
@supercoachcoach how risky is it to get back on Rockliff? Straight swap from Cripps and Wallis, both with high BEs is ridiculously tempting. — Steve (@bleeder80) July 6, 2015
Even cheaper than Rockliff is Jordan Lewis, who finally returned to some decent form with a 125 on the weekend. Is he a bargain or fool’s gold at $444k.
Then the main event – Gary Ablett returns. Do we trust his scoring for the rest of the year? Do we trade Ablett in now, wait or pass for the season? FBDonkey leads the charge with #abletthype this week.
In the rucks, we consider how to deal with Ivan Maric‘s tricky one-week suspension in the rucks. Is it worth a trade?
@supercoachcoach is Maric to goldy a must without cover? Plenty of coin needed could cancel opportunity for Gaz..
— Dwayne Cunningham (@dmac__55) July 7, 2015
@supercoachcoach is McKernan suitable for ruck/fwd cover for Maric this week and to sit on bench for remainder of season?
— Daniel Gates (@I_am_Daniel_G) July 7, 2015
In the forward line, we discuss two premiums that are still out for an indefinite period: Harley Bennell and Jarryd Roughead.
To finish the week, we do a quick run-through the rookies: Nick Holman, Brayden Maynard, Nick O’Brien, Jack Steele & Caleb Daniel.
R14 #SCCPodcast Rundown:
- A.Oxley Replacements – A.Rance, T.McDonald, J.Gibson, C.Enright, S.Burgoyne, L.Picken
- T.Rockliff – Third time lucky?

- I.Maric – Dealing with a one-week ruck suspension
- H.Bennell & J.Roughead – Keep/trade?
- Rookies – N.Holman, B.Maynard, N.O’Brien, J.Steele, C.Daniel
Boys! Another cracking effort, although Jack Steele has had about 4 weeks worth on mentions his still on the bubble so deserves a shout out if possible!
Cheer Xxx
Thanks mate! Steele certainly the man, both FBDonkey & I traded him in unsighted
