No Crouch is going to be a thorn in a lot of sides, who's going to hold him? And if not, who are you trading him to?

That is the question. Firstly, should we include him in our starting lineups at the hefty price of $740,500? Or do we wait until his inevitable price drop and pick him up then? Secondly, do we have him as Captain or do we roll the dice on one of our other gun players?

This was, of course, his second season with the Suns after averaging only&amp;rdquo; 127 SC points in 2011. I say only&amp;rdquo; because we have probably forgetten his averages of 130 SC points in 2010 and 140 SC points in 2009. Next best were the Collingwood triplet who were some distance behind him: Swan with 126 SC points, Pendlebury with 125 SC points and Beams with 123 SC points.

Ablett has to be in your team and he has to be made Captain most weeks. I say most weeks because other factors I consider in picking a Captain are: recent form, form against an opponent, and whether the particular player is likely to...

With less than two days to go before the first players are locked down, there's no better time to jump on, ask a few q's and calm your mind.




As such, let's kick of this RMT thread with a good one-



My team!






carn guys, give us a rate!

Unlike years past, where you set your team on a Friday night, then went to the pub and drowned your sorrows as Bartel gotappendicitis- no longer is that a problem with the rolling lockouts in SuperCoach and Centrebet.




However, it does add a new challenge to the equation. You might be running a couple of teams, across a number of comps. Tracking198 games over 23 weeks will get old. Which is where TS plans on helping.



If you have your teams inMy Teamsyou'll receive an email whenever one of your players is either a late withdrawal, or has been given the dreaded Green Vest.



Hopefully, giving you the chance to jump into your squad and adjust it asnecessary.



Now, I'm certain that there will be the odd times throughout the year where I'm unable to catch a vest or two, so I'm going to keep it as a non-donor function, available to everyone, until I get that sorted.



Anyways, hopefully no-one got any of my test emails from earlier tonight- let me know if you do! (Or if you don't, and should, get any notifications in the future.)

Thanks to the good people at the HUN, and those other good folk at Champion Data, we now have in our hands a full list of SC results from the nab. In a handy dandy spreadsheet!




Really interesting to notice a couple of the scores from the 4th unknown round, along with a few of the names that were given a crack! (Might suggest a round 1 birth is in order).



A massive score for <a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=759&name=Jack Watts">Jack Watts[/url] will see him picked up by a few (163SC)



Anyways, I'm struggling for time at the minute, but reckon we can open the floor for you guys.



What has peaked your interest in there?

Supercoach and Dreamteam are now officially opened! So it's officially time to start putting together a couple of all-conquering ToooSerious leagues.



So, what's your flavour this year?Supercoach? Perhap you're looking for a competitiveDreamteamleague this year?



A you one of the big dawgs who take part in theCashleagues? or maybe just a gun who's looking for the ultimate challenge in aPlatinumleague.



Or yanno, maybe you're just looking for something in one of thoseOtherleagues.



Either way, just follow along those links and I'm sure you'll find something!

For those that know nothing about it ... Everyone starts with the same squad at the beginning of the year. The trades made during the year/bench selections/Captains selection will separate the winner from the pack. You will have to create a second account to play, unless you want the squad to be your only team.
Very interested to see if anyone else is interested in having their mum/dad/brother/sister/wife/etc go around again this year. Also if you are interested in helping keep score/track trades(TTH?!?), please say so.
:edit:I have created a trading game group (details below)

Around the Comps.




We've gone from the 2 main comps, in SC and DT, with the dedicated ones playing Sportsbet - To an absolute plethora of games out there, with prizes as good, or supassing the big two.




So let's take a look around the grounds and see what's out there.

<h2>SuperCoach





Supercoach, it might not be the original, but the best. Featuring black box SC scoring, that rewards quality of disposal, over quantity, it's the gold standard when comparing other games.




Prize: $50,000 CASH + $1,000 per week for the highest score.

Trades: 30 Trades

Rolling Lockout: Yes

<h2>AFL Fantasy





The original. Dreamteam is now AFL Fantasy and it's back this year with a bigger prize than ever before. Quantity over quality, so it's a win when your team chips it to each other, regardless of the team they are actually kicking it to.




Prize: $50,000 CASH + 1 + 1 double pass to the footy for the weekly high scorer + A double pass for the 'Ultimate Grand Final Day' for the highest weekly score for the year.

Trades: 2 Per week, use them or lose them.

Rolling Lockout: No
