TooSerious
For those who take it way too seriously
While last week had some big ins, round 6 sees the outs come flying fast!
A timely reminder of just how important our trades are.
One big thing to note though. Bock and Stevens came in, but Davis didnt go out.
Rockliff, Peterson, Dangerfield, Reimers is going to hurt a lot of peoples forward line.
While Moles and Martin are going to hurt the Mids.
IN: Hargrave, Bock, Jaensch, Stevens, Buchanan, Power, Duncan, Bower, Lockyer, Sheppard, Palmer.
OUT: Moles, Dangerfield, Lobbe, Melksham, Colyer, Reimers, Peterson, Rockliff, Dustin Martin, Warnock, Dalziell.

What to do, what to do, what to do?
28 years old. Taken at pick 30. Shattered coaches on the weekend.
His results for this season so far are:
130 (WCE)
171 (CAR)
141 (PTA)
81 (WBD) - This is where the mystery illness took hold
39 (MEL) - A 39 against last years wooden spooners.
As with last week and Riewoldt, this one player has dominated our comments. So heres my thoughts.
So whats going on?
<!--more-->
The official Brisbane Lions line is <a href="http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/93183/default.aspx">Brown a certainty to face Swans[/url]. Honestly though, I think that is a scarier option than him having time off. If Brown is still underdone, and goes out to play- not only does he stand the chance of injurying himself further, he will also more than likely take another massive salary drop. Predictions say that if Brownie puts up another 40, then hes going to drop another $77k. Two more 40s will see the Browndawg drop into the 300 thousands.
So its of dire importance to find out whats going on.
Before we look into that, lets remember what makes a solid trade. 300 points and $100k. Or $200k+ as a downgrade. So can we use the same principles to question a falling star? If Brown scores two 40s, then a trade will earn you roughly 120 points and $150k. Which is pretty damn close to a decent trade. Three 40s, which is almost worst case, would see the trade earn you 180 points and $210k. Which is a trade we should do.
Worst case is that he does that, then goes on a surgury based holiday for a couple.
So we know, if we expect Brown to go downhill, then trade now. But what if he doesnt crash horribly? What if he just performs poorly poor the next 17 weeks ala Hodge/Judd? Lets see what an average of 80 would do. Well, the first thing- its gunna lose you $150k. But thats all unrealised losses. So you cant really count that. What you can count though, is 17 rounds of 20ppg that youre missing. See: 340 points.
Which...

Three players have this week moved in to contention for this years Brownlow Medal, with best on ground performances in their respective matches. Scott Pendlebury winning the Anzac Day Medal, Aaron Sandilands who would have to be this years most consistent player, and Luke Hodge in a losing side all polling three votes to move within striking distance of superstar Gary Ablett and wonder-rookie Michael Barlow.
Ablett and Barlow both did enough to earn two votes and move in to outright first and second on 9 and 8 votes respectively.
With the competition now being 5 rounds in, it is worth a look to see how some of this years favourites are tracking:
Gary Ablett - $4 - 9 (1st)
Chris Judd - $7 - 4 (=13th)
Jonathan Brown - $15 - 6 (=4th)
Luke Hodge - $17 - 7 (3rd)
Adam Goodes - $17 - 1 (=66th)
Ryan Griffen - $21 - 4 (=13th)
Jimmy Bartel - $21 - 4 (=13th)
Marc Murphy - $21 - 3 (=20th)
Aaron Sandilands - $21Â - 6 (=4th)
Barlow will have to start shortening soon...still paying $81, coming in from $126 after his 33 possession, 132 SuperCoach game on the weekend. If Fremantle keep winning games like they are - which midfielders are going to take votes off of him? Sure Sandilands and Pavlich will poll well, but both are key position players, and traditionally will not poll as well as a sides gun midfielder - which Barlow is fast becoming.
Whilst I have GAJ in first on 9 votes, I myself would be suprised if he is sitting on that many after round 5. Looking at each game individually, he is a strong chance to poll in all (aside from the Hawthorn game) - however will the umpires rate him against the others players on the park, or against what he is ultimatley capable of? If it is the latter dont be suprised if he has only amassed 5-6 votes to date.
All votes over the break.

Wow, football is a funny game. If you had told me that Sydney would be on top of the ladder, by percentage over Fremantle, while the Dogs and Cats languished in 7th and 8th, by percentage over the Demons, I would have laughed.
But thats what this week has turned up. St Kilda losing to Port, Brisbane losing to Melbourne, Geelong to Carlton- it was a huge week for upsets! Heck you could probably through in Hawthorn in there as well as far as the bookies were concerned. (Though with their injuries, I think theyre a bottom 4 team with the Bombers, Richmond and Adelaide at the minute.)
Football is such a funny game! That said though, putting the call out early, I reckon the top 8 of right now is where its going to finish in round 22. Its just a matter of the order.
Port, while impressive on the weekend, I think were advantaged by both the home ground and the wet conditions bringing the Saints, and their precision playing, down to their level- while the Dees- though impressive thus far, will be interesting to see if they can keep up their intensity (and dont have the homeground advange that the Dockers will have to fall on as their younger guys get tired.)
Still, as a football fan, its been an integring season so far. Im looking forward to seeing it unfold.
Well start off with the results of the tipping for this week, funnily, picking the home teams this week would have netted you 7 points. I think next year I might just pick the home team for the first 5 rounds and see how it goes. Our to picker on TS was Jo again, picking 5 with Ryan Griffen as her top scorer. Loving her work
Anyways, this weeks review turned into a bit of an essay, so its over the break! - oh, and the Stats are updated!
<!--more-->
On to the games. Friday saw the Dogs destroy the Crows after an early challenge. Giansiracusa top scored with a 134. Looks like hes bottomed out with a 33 BE next week. Barry Hall mooed along with a 119- continueing to tick up nicely. Phil Davis,...

A quarter to go and the Dogs are dominating.
Hall has 5.2 and is looking in ripping form.
Davis is piquing my interest with his dual positioning, but hell still need a premium to match up with if you want to capitalise on it.
Anyways, happy long weekend everyone!

Not to be confused with Owl City, US synthpop group.
So, there was 600 comments in the last post, and about 500 of them are about the forward rookies. I think its time to put my own thoughts down on the subject.
Before looking at the trade, what I want you want to do, is go back to your original plan. Most people right now, would have spent 2 trades on re-jigging and 1 trade on an LTI.
How many trades do you need to upgrade your team?
How many trades do you need for LTI?
Look at that original plan, and think - do you have enough cash cows to go through with it? Or are you going to struggle to free up enough cash.
Remember what we said in an earlier post, a good trade should score you 300 points over the season and net you $100k
So, taking all that in mind, should you be looking to pick up Pods/Rockliff? Well, lets examine the three main options.
(For the purpose of this analysis, Ill be taking Pods, with an average of 75 - which honestly, I see as the utter maximum of a rookies range. Im also assuming that hell be in your team for 5 weeks, since thats approaching the end of upgrade time.)
<!--more-->
The Straight swap.
So, youve got The Commentators Dream, Relton, and youre sick of him stinking up your bench. Lets see what youll get with a trade.
OUT - $83400 - 14ppg
IN - $83400 - 75ppg
The darkness is obviously stinking up the place, so if youve got him on the field, its a no-brainer. Upgrade. Its 60 points per week (300). If youre fielding an other rookie though, say, Hitchcock, youll be scoring an addtional 25ppg over the next 5 weeks (125).
So in that case, youre looking at about 125 points and an extra *earnings* of $200k.
The Rookie downgrade.
Youre not a fan of your cashcows- so perhaps its time to put them down. first up, youre looking at a $70k injection into the kitty. After that though, its much the same as above. 125 point (provided they are on the field) and in total, an extra $70k and an extra *earnings* of...

So, I figure we should have a place to discuss the Melbourne Storm fall from grace.
Cant having it clog up the SuperCoach threads can we?
So, $1.7 mil over 5 years worth of cheating has cost them 2 flags, a bunch of minor premierships and the respect of rugby fans all over.
$340k a year.
Just to put that into context, during Brisbanes three-peat, they had an extra salary cap of $780k per year...
The Don and pies were ROBBED!!!

Back again, and due to commitments on Thursday and Friday I have to do my tips early. Again. Â So any analysis here is purely on my gut,no statistics (just like always, though I usually hide it better ) Tip in bold.
