Weedon is looking alright, especially with th e frenchman out now. Anyone know much about him?
He was looking the goods. I would probably stay away as him Josh Hill and Hams all had good games.
yeh weedon is a bit of a gun, been a project at the club last few years, massive pre season behind him, could break out. known to avg.19 odd touches 2 goals, wit the hunger to tackle. loves a speccy to. im takin the punt with him
Any word on Brad Dick?
Injured for a third of the season.
Go Hibbo it’s your time to shine brutha
Six spots left in Only the Elite, If you finished in the top 1000 and want a real challenge then enter this league. Destined to be in the top 10 leagues by years end. Enter 509247 and quote your finish from last year, good luck.
Brennan might be an injury away from playing a bit of senior football this year. Looked good.
I reckon a few will be sucked into Weedon but reckon Hams is the most likely to be elevated.
Neither Hams or Weedon are on the rookie list.
My bad. Cheers mate.
Hams was on the rookie list last year. I missed that he was elevated through last years draft. Just assumed that Weedon was as well to be honest. I remember him getting a game last year but only as a sub and didn’t see him again for the rest of the year.
SEN commentator just said that Barlow was expected to miss the entire NAB cup with his leg soreness
That was mentioned a few days ago. Surprised word of it didn’t get around the DT community as much as I thought it would
fyfe getting alot of it
doesn’t seem to be scared of that shoulder either, zaka needs to step up in this second half!
zaka only came on with a few mins to go in first half.
Bala is looking like he is playing under 16′s out there and has been playing midfield his whole life! Looks the goods but his very poor disposal might keep him out of the midfield.
Zaha not really ringing up big numbers! 16!
he came on late in the last match… wasnt really pumped into the game. he will be a premo don’t worry
Thoughts on Zaha ?
What do you think about Corey Dell’Olio reckon he will get a go in the seniors?
L Neale just took Koby Stevens spot on the bench. I hope it lasts until R1. Dam I hate Ballantyne but I may need him in my team. I have to remember no grudges in DT.
Stevens doesn’t seem that he is interested in kicking. Plenty of handballs.
Can anyone tell me what kind of a role Broughton is playing as I can’t watch the game.
Thanks
was playing midfield!
3 spots left in Only the Elite, Bring your A game ( come on warnie, nator n destroy) 509247
will be a walk in the park ;)
To all the experts(fools) who wrote off Cox all preseason with your mumfords and mcevoys and luenbergers…. I hope you’re watching this.
was my first pick b4, franklin, goddard, ablett… Cox is the most overlooked premo this year. how can u go past the big man…
How’s it going to change with NicNat in the side The Burger King? Still think he’s going to be getting the same amount of time on ball as he has in this match, and in years gone by?
Cox goes forward and kicks goals, then he runs around the back half getting cheap kicks. I don’t think Nic Nat will make any difference. Locked in for me.
Cox did look good, I may swap out Sandi for him but his bye with Giles hurts. He was the only big option up forward so with Lynch, Nic Nat and Kennedy in he will be less likely to kick as many goals.
West Coast smashed both teams, were back baby!!! And they were mostly juniors.
Freo are now a defensive team surprise surprise. Hirdy looked pissed and so he should be.
gee you try some mind games tkol

Fan Footy is much better…
-1
I got banned from fan footy chat for a your mama joke. LOL. Shove it.
Cox = biggest lock again 2012 in the rucks.
Haven’t changed my rucks since day 1 and wont be unless injury plays a part.
Cox, McEvoy, Giles and Stephensen.
Have to agree, I’m undecided on the second ruck spot though. Cox locked in since day one.
How did Sandilands look? His scores were less than impressive, especially in the second game.
Around the same as last year.
Hard to read to much into the rucks in these games plus there scores are alot lower due to less stopages. Sandi’s numbers will always be low nab cup given about 40% of them are normaly from hit-outs.
apologies for the grammar still hungover
Oh, I didn’t think about how the removal of throw-ins would kill his score. Hmm. Thanks.
Any thoughts on Hurn? Has been too inconsistent in the past but seems to be the go to guy and always kicks it.
Hurn is going to have his best season yet. They’ve put an emphasis on pushing him up the ground, and with his kicking they’ll want to get the ball in his hands as much as possible. My only real concern is that I know opposition teams won’t be able to ignore him, so he’ll end up with a lot of attention every week. A bit iffy for that price range.
always more suited to supercoach
If anyone knows what’s up with Viv Michie I’d love to know where he is. Saving a fwd spot for him but no sign in the intra-club or tonight’s matches.
Is he gonna be back soon/at all?
Just back from game. Young eagles looked good esp, hams,weddon and hill. Wasn’t impressed with stevens. Cox is def locked in. Plays like a midfield
Hurn most time plays loose man, so he will get alot of ball and rebound
Hille rucked well for bombers
Neale impressed for freo. Knows how to find the ball.
Stevens 13 handballs no kicks for the night
i had stevens at the end of last yr, thought he was good, what do u think about him this yr
If he’s there in round 1 then have a crack
Hey guys, Any possible suggestions? i have 170k in the bank to play around with.
Def: Goddard Birchall Heppel Grimes Clarke Ellis Smedts ( Bugg Darley)
Mid; Boyd Ablett Pendles Selwood Mcdonald Pfeiffer (Shiel Brown)
Rucks: Cox Hmac (Giles Orren)
Fwds: Franklin Goodes Zaha Sidebottom Martin Zorko Treloar (Cameron Kerridge)
I have 170k left, i would like to know how many premiums do you guys see in my squad currently, who would you possibly trade out for and who would you bring in and also to rate it.
BTW: my thoughts on Cox/Hmac combo is that Cox is the reliable ruck and with hmac i’m hoping him to average around 80-85 which should get him to around 400k and at that point of time i can get the best ruckmen rather than choosing an upcoming one who might flop and cost me a few trades.
Please comment!
Riewoldt* not martin, sorry.
Ruck problems in Round 11
Sorry jusy realised this was the wrong thread.
Just thought I’d share the Top 5 best players from each position in terms of value that I have calculated from this weekend(this is solely based on their scores)
DEF
1. S. Darley (GWS)
2. T. Bugg (GWS)
3. R. Hargrave (WBD)
4. P. Yagmoor (COL)
5. A. Tomlinson (GWS) (FWD)
MID
1. J. McDonald (GWS)
2. A. Miles (GWS)
3. S. Gibson (NTH) (Rookie)
4. E. Kavanagh (ESS)
5. L. Neale (FRE)
RUC
1. J. Giles (GWS)
2. J. Roughead (WBD)
3. A. Cordy (WBD)
4. J. Witts (COL)
5. S. McNamara (COL) (Rookie)
FWD
1. Z. Skinner (WBD)
2. G. Weedon (WCE)
3. R. Cooyou (GWS) (Rookie)
4. A. Tomlinson (GWS) (DEF)
5. A. Hams (WCE)
Obviously a purely statistical model makes some rather crass assumptions and teams will change a lot after NAB 1, but I think there are some interesting points.
One thing I did notice was the alarming lack of DPP rookies. Tomlinson played well as a DEFFWD, but apart from that the cupboard was pretty bare. The best MIDFWD was Curtly Hampton at No. 11 in MID and No. 10 in FWD. It will be interesting to see if any more options become apparent later in the NAB Cup.
Also, value pick of the week (at least by the numbers) is Z. Skinner with 53 points in 40min @ 104k.
Nice work, it will be interesting to see if hargrave can get back to his 2009 DT form.
I thought he looked really good on Saturday night, much more composed than last year. Although obviously the opposition was not top quality. He’s in my team for now.
Ummm no Boyd?
Boyd had a great game, but this list ranks players in terms of expected increase in price, so he coudn’t quite beat these 100k players. I have him ranked 9th among midfielders for price increase, although I’m guessing not many people are picking Boyd as a cash cow.
Thanks Tim, sorry misread the value comment at the top
I guess it also depends a bit on what multiplier you use for scores. I just doubled scores in these half games, under the assumption that it wouldn’t make much of a difference to rookies. But if you use 2.5 Boyd goes up to 3rd for mids and 2.8 he is number 1.
However, I didn’t really design this spreadsheet to look at ultra premiums so I feel its not that important. A 2.8 multipier implies Boyd would have got 252 against Collingwood, which seems high.
Thinking of getting cox into my team for sandi. Cox is firing
In case anyone was wondering heres the nab cup ladder so far:
Team Pts %
West Coast 8 189.1
Collingwood 8 119.6
Hawthorn 4 132.3
Fremantle 4 115.7
Richmond 4 100
Western B/dogs 4 96.4
Nth Melbourne 4 76.5
GWS 0 88.5
Essendon 0 50.4
Sidebottom or Zaha?
Id wait and watch a bit more of the nab cup before deciding, neither set the house on fire in the short games theyve played so far
Sidebum was in the best 5 for Pies in both games
seriously, where was Anthony Morabito??????
he’s being eased back into it, gonna play a bit in the wafl to start the year so dont bother picking him straight away
boyd + cox + mcintosh
v
murphy + sandi + z. smith
tough one!
First option no doubt.
First option will leave you a problem in round 11 esp if Giles is also on the bench.
Not tough at all…. First option for sure.
Hey guys, i was at the game yesterday and couldn’t help but notice Masten was on fire, however every single WC supporter i’ve asked has told me to stay away from him. Also looking through the post game stats i noticed that Melksham had a great game against WC but was poor against Freo. I currently have Howlett in my team who was consistent but am wondering who would be the better player to pick. Any thoughts?
Hi Guys, I want to join a top league if anybody has space. Reached in the top 200 until 5 weeks before finals where I plummeted to 6000 after some bad luck with injuries. Team name Gutted Ewoks. Cheers.
Didn’t see the Essendon games but Dell’Olio was getting good marks in match reports, although his scores were just ok. Any views on him from a DT perspective?
Pretty much played on the goal line, which isn’t great for DT. And he’s listed as a rookie I think, which also isn’t great. Still looks a decent player though, maybe a downgrade option if he gets upgraded mid-year.
the Dons have 2 players on LTI so 2 rookies can be elevated before round 1 (i think) its between Brendan Lee, Dell’olio and Baguely im pretty sure, so he might get a run early
Thanks guys. Sounds like a pass to me.
Hey all,just wondering if anyone wants to join my team..
Im kinda new and its just me in my league at the moment.
If anyone has a league i can join that would be great too
Thanks guys
my league number is 229208
I have a Supercoach league going if anyone wants to show me how its done.
Code ……..888541
if you read the top heading this is Dreamteam
hi all,
whats people thought on this.
I wont say my mids,but im maybe looking at trading sheils out for either redden,rockcliff or mitchel(but he does get injured previously.)
Thoughts??
I finished top 1200 in DT and Supercoach last year looking for some fellow metal heads to battle it out for supremecy – private league is 636559
Slightly off topic, is it still possible to find out where I finished last year?
Hi everyone is getting the rookies right the key and are these players the ones to watch
Stephenson
Wilkes
Ellis
Giles
Rowe
Smelts
Horsey
Weedon
What do u think and who else is there
any cheap defence players who will go well this year ?
