I think we may have made a mistake this week, as it looks like between all of us we didn’t actually finalise the team prior to lockout. We managed a deplorable 913 points this week, from 11 scoring players, which placed us at 260,157 for the round (I’m not making that up), and bumped us out to 22,830 in the overall rankings. Meanwhile in our leagues we managed zero wins, so I won’t even bother reviewing those.

Join me over the break to see what we did so wrong.<!--more-->

So, a quick look at our team gives us this disaster. The first thing you’ll probably notice is the amount of points out of our non-scoring players – big oops there!

1. Lake,DEF,89
2. Bugg,DEF,34
3. Darley,DEF,61
4. Shaw,DEF,39
5. Priddis Vice Captain,MID,166
6. Treloar,MID,99
7. Adams,MID,97
8. Cox,RUC,119
9. Giles Emergency,RUC,54
10. Dangerfield,FWD,100
11. Porplyzia,FWD,55
,,
1. Deledio,DEF,0
2. Goddard,DEF,0
3. Broughton,DEF,74
4. Shaw,DEF,86
5. Morris,DEF,0
6. Kennedy,MID,94
7. Ablett,MID,0
8. Selwood,MID,101
9. Mitchell,MID,0
10. Pendlebury,MID,0
11. Redden,RUC,0
12. Pattison,RUC,0
13. Franklin,FWD,0
14. Sidebottom,FWD,99
15. Roughead,FWD,0
16. Martin,FWD,0
17. Riewoldt,FWD,0
18. Milera,FWD,0
19. Sexton Emergency,FWD,0

I’m not really going to waste much time focusing on this, the numbers above tell the whole story. What I will say is this:
We had a total of 454 points on the bench that should have been on the field.
We left the captaincy with Pendlebury, and had Priddis as VC, while a Cox, or even a Selwood would have given us more points.
Luckily we had Giles as emergency ruckman, as Redden didn’t end up playing.

So, all in all a bit of a mess for the final bye round. Congrats to all of our opponents in all our leagues, you got some nice easy wins! Finally, on behalf of everyone involved in the donor team, sorry for messing it up so much for you all this week. We won’t be making this mistake again!

So, onto next week, and I’ve...

Well, the last of the byes are through- and man, I’m gunna enjoy logging in tonight and putting on a whole field of premiums.

It’s been a while!

Sydney vs Geelong

Result: Sydney by 6, 12.8.80 to 11.8.74

Sydney did it again. Dominated early- held their lead for half a game- then nearly fell over at the final furlong.

It was super accurate kicking that really boosted out their lead though, kicking 7 straight in the first quarter to hold a 6 goal lead. Would have been a completely different game had they opened 4.3- or as weve see in some of the worst cases this year, 1.6

Jack top scored for the Swannies with 20 touches and 9 tackles for a 117SC. He also managed a pair of goals.

Johnson did very well for himself, picking up 110SC from 18 touches, while Mumford showed some good form, with just 10 touches and 23 hitouts for a 97SC.

Goodes really didnt get into the game, getting subbed off a 3 quarter time for just 7 touches and 2SC. Might find himself fodder to become my F8/M7 with Martin if he keeps this up.

Speaking of Subbings though, The green vest, Everitt, managed to kick the sealer- making a massive 86SC from just 6 touches and a goal!

Only two tons for Geelong with Enright making an 123SC off 29 touches. Selwood was the other, scragging out a 101SC off his 25 touches.

A lot of average performances really, without any standout failurs- though I reckon Hawkins is probably the only fantasy relevant (?) fella to fail, with 12 touches, a goal and 65SC.

Heroes: Jack, Enright
Villians: Goodes

Western vs Brisbane

Result: Brisbane by 58, 18.6.114 to 7.14.56

Three early goals to Merritt, and the Lions simply didnt let up. I mean, yes, there was definitely a fair swag of accuracy effecting both scores- but really, from the 3rd quarter onwards, it didnt even look like the would come close- kicking 4 behinds in...

And just like that, the final bye round is upon us.

With a potential doubling of byes next year, I hope we all learnt something.

Until then however, lets just keep enjoying the footy - and SCGods will, Pendles as my only donut for the week.

And on to the final round of the byes, and hopefully, its the final round of krispies.

Still no Hargrave is a bit of an ouch, but overall, there looks to be more good than bad this week!

Round 12 recap: Ablett. Ok. Your Round 11 score of 64 SC points proved your point. Your team (and Supercoaches all over the world) do need you. But next time you want to prove a point, let us know. Last week, the perma-captain (yes, he has been reinstated to his rightful place) responded with a huge 188 SC points silencing his doubters.

Well Ablett has a bye this week, so let’s have a look at the numbers in what could be a difficult captain’s decision this week …

<!--more-->

Swan v. West Coast

QF 2011: 130 SC points, 43 disposals
Rd 10 2011: 86 SC points, 26 disposals
Rd 14 2010: 163 SC points, 38 disposals
Rd 9 2009: 149 SC points, 36 disposals
Rd 10 2008: 146 SC points, 36 disposals
SF 2007: 118 SC points, 38 disposals
Rd 2 2007: 97 SC points, 22 disposals
Rd 16 2006: 109 SC points, 20 disposals
Rd 7 2006: 94 SC points, 25 disposals

Average is 121 SC points with 32 disposals.

Note: Fantastic record against West Coast. Poor game in Rd 10 last year when he was in the middle of a four game slump affected by injury (scores of 98, 80, 86 and 94 at the time at an average of 90). Two weeks after this game, he made the trip to Arizona. Taking this score out, his average rises to 127 against West Coast. He may attract the Scott Selwood tag who had most recently tagged Pendlebury in the QF last year. Coming off a fantastic 160 SC points last week after missing the two games prior with injury.

Goodes v. Geelong

Rd 23 2011: 109 SC points, 30 disposals
Rd 4 2011: 100 SC points, 23 disposals
Rd 18 2010: 120 SC points, 22 disposals
Rd 7 2010: 27 SC points, 16 disposals
Rd 20 2009: 104 SC points, 21 disposals
Rd 7 2009: 112 SC points, 27 disposals
Rd 20 2008: 92 SC points, 15 disposals
Rd 5 2008: 111 SC points, 14 disposals
Rd 13 2007: 150 SC points, 31 disposals
Rd 20 2006: 126 SC points, 28 disposals
Rd 5 2006: 131 SC points, 13 disposals
Rd 15 2005: 141 SC points, 21 disposals

Average is 110 SC points with 22 disposals....

Hi gang, and welcome to this weeks Best Buys.

Again we have six teams not playing this week, which is CAR, GCS, HAW, PTA, RIC, StK, and so players from these teams should be avoided unless you have quite secure cover. With some big teams missing this week it looks like being another tough round of SC, with many teams seeming to focus on avoiding the carnage of the round 12 byes. Hawthorn, St Kilda and the Blues and Suns will leave some big holes in some teams, and maybe offer the chance to claw back some points for the teams who have planned around this.

My tip of the week this week is Jonathon Griffin, who in Sandi’s absence last year showed he has some real potential, and the ability to score well. The ruck line has been horrendous for some coaches this season, and hopefully Griffin can stay on the park and knock out some decent scores to make up a little ground. SC coaches will need to be certain that he is named and will be playing, but Freo don’t have any better options at the moment and he would seem to be a fairly safe bet.

So, join me over the break for the rest of the Best Buys, and all the thumbs requests for our final bye round.

INFO

The Best Buys uses a mix of price, form, break-evens and projected salaries to assess the Best Buys of each round. These are essentially the players that represent the best “value” which is determined by the above factors. Some player will not be mentioned on here even if they are playing well, as value is the key for this article. If a player is averaging 110, which is certainly solid, but priced at an average of 112 then they will not be rated. This does not mean these players should be avoided or not picked due to this, but simply that they aren’t as good “value” as the others in the Best Buys. For all the player I’ve missed, and any more you’re wanting opinions on, the thumbs are always there.

The thumbs act as a polling tool for the TS community, if you pose a question with...

Gday All,

Scott Thompson has edged ahead of Jobe Watson to crack in to the 20s, after a blistering 3 vote performance against the Saints on Friday night.  Betting agencies have moved in to $11, which sees him now as the 4th favourite behind Watson, Pendlebury &amp; Ablett.  Pendlebury hasnt polled since Rd 8, and is now expected to miss a couple more...will need a big second half of the year now, given I currently have him 7 votes behind.

Smokies Boyd, Ablett &amp; Franklin did nothing to hurt their claims - with all expected to receive 2 or 3 for their efforts.

Trent Cotchin picks up another 4th best in a pretty even contest against the Giants, whilst all players currently in the top 10 that played this week are likely to poll.<!--more-->

This weeks bye was nowhere near as painful for the donors, scoring a wonderful 1985 points for the round. This placed us at 30,031 for the week, and brought us up 2,403 places to be 6,975 in the overall rankings! In our leagues we lost in Ucantbetooserious to be ranked 15th, while we won all our other leagues, to be 1st in Ucantbe TS, 2nd in TS Igotatheory, 4th in TS Pinewarmers, and 7th in the WA League.

Join me over the break to see just how our team did.<!--more-->

We decided to trade out Kennedy and Clarke this week, bringing in Shaw and Priddis, which turned out to be a really good move, netting us two players whose prices rose, along with a fantastic haul of points. Like many we took advantage of the captains loophole, naming Priddis as VC, and decided to stick with his 131 points (like most) by placing the C on Pendlebury.

The team itself, with 20 scoring players, looked like this:

1. Deledio,DEF,132
2. Goddard,DEF,67
3. Lake,DEF,88
4. Bugg,DEF,90
5. Darley,DEF,71
6. Shaw,DEF,71
7. Ablett,MID,188
8. Mitchell,MID,124
9. Priddis Vice Captain,MID,262
10. Treloar,MID,7
11. Adams,MID,70
12. Cox,RUC,132
13. Redden,RUC,44
14. Franklin,FWD,118
15. Dangerfield,FWD,86
16. Roughead,FWD,129
17. Martin,FWD,99
18. Riewoldt,FWD,83
19. Porplyzia,FWD,90
20. Milera,FWD,34

1. Broughton,DEF,0
2. Shaw,DEF,0
3. Morris,DEF,0
4. Kennedy,MID,0
5. Selwood,MID,0
6. Pendlebury,MID,0
7. Giles Emergency,RUC,0
8. Pattison,RUC,0
9. Sidebottom,FWD,0
10. Sexton Emergency,FWD,30

Down back we were lead by Deledio’s 132 points, while our other five were headed by the surprising Bugg on 90, followed by Lake on 88, Darley and Shaw both on 71, and an unfortunate shocker by Goddard on 67 points. On the pine we had Broughton and Shaw’s byes, and Morris, who simply let us down.

In the mids we had Priddis on 262 as a captain, which you’d take any other week, except for the one that you lose faith in the permacaptain, and he gives you a big...

&nbsp;

The delistings are done and the mid season draft is ready to commence. The only thing remaining now is the ladder order which will provide the key to the lock of the ORFFA draft. Its going to be a little minimalist this week as Im trying to get it out asap so the draft can kick off.

Call me the keymaster and read on over the break..........<!--more-->
