For those who take it way too seriously
Good morning all, and welcome to the Best Buys.
Today we have a slightly expanded Best buys, as now that the bye rounds are over I thought it might be good to have a bit of a wrap-up on what’s changed. The byes were hell to deal with, for most SCers, and it must now feel strange for a lot of people to be fielding full squads again without having to wonder how many donuts they will cop this week.
Back to Basics is the name of the Best Buys article as this week, without bye rounds to worry about for the rest of the season, it really is back to basics for many of us. Who will average more over the rest of the year? Will the tough draw hurt? Who’s the best value defender for under 500 grand? Normal SC questions that seem like they were important far too long ago now come back with a bang and take the forefront of most coaches planning, and could well decide this years winner. Some careful planning will be required, and a whole swag of luck, but with the byes out of the way, the home stretch is at least in sight.
My tip of the week this week is Scott Thompson. The Crow champion is at a shockingly low price, and in a top 4 team with a great run home. Hard to pass up really. This week I’ve been pretty busy and with the larger Best Buys I haven’t really had time for much on my pick, suffice to say the usual spiel on him is over the break with the rest of the Best Buys.
I hope you can join me!

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...

Quiet week on the Brownlow front, aside from Jobe joining Thompson in the lead on 21 votes. Really feel like the winner is gonna come from one of these two.
Over the break, Im gonna pull out a snap-shot of where each teams B&F count is likely at - using the same formula but giving 5-4-3-2-1 for each team in each game regardless of result...it really shows just how unlucky Cotchin has been in my count to date:<!--more-->

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!

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!

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.

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 …

Swan v. West Coast
QF 2011: 130 SC points, 43 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.

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.

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.

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 & 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 & 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-->
