TooSerious
For those who take it way too seriously
Well, if you picked Ablett youd be pretty happy - the untaggable Cat scored heavily yet again - Buddy struggled in Adelaide against Nathan Bock 'Choy' and got a few points in rubbish time against the Crows. This week throws up a few more of the usual suspects in for your considerations, and a few players who, thanks to Sizza and his Whos Hot and Whos Not blog, have punters looking to capitalise on their hot form.
<!--more-->
Scott Thompson (ADE)
Is there a bloke in hotter form at the moment. Goodes maybe, Cooney
and Ablett - its getting to be expected, but Scott Thompson has gone
along (relatively) unnoticed, but if you had him from the start youd
be laughing. Sizza tells us hes averaged 138.6 in the last 3 weeks and
with a 148 last week against the Hawks, comes right into calculations.
Averages big scores against the Lions with an average of 116 and a top
score of 124 last year, Scotty Thompson could be your man this week.
Gary Ablett (GEE)
Against the supposedly tanking Eagles, this could be a monty.
Having said that, I recall Abletts lowest score this year being at
Subi vs Freo, so perhaps hes a bit of a risk this week. It will
probably be either Selwood or Stenglein on Ablett this week so he may
have his work cut out for him - but Ablett is just a freak - and I
dont reckon anything would worry him at the moment. With a 106 the
last time these two teams met and an average against the Eagles of just
under 90, perhaps this is the week that the consecutive games as Ablett
captain breaks for many...
Matthew Pavlich (FRE)
The much maligned Dockers skipper has bounced into a little bit of
form with 164 and 111 in his last two, and with an undersized Saints
backline to confront him this week, Pav may be your man. Scores an
average of 120.5 against the Saints with a top score of 132 last year.
Definitely not the shabbiest option.
Adam Goodes (SYD)
With Melbourne this week, Goodes - Mr Consistency - might be a
better...

Oh, rookies are going fast. This is your LAST chance to pick up a bargain. Prices cant go any lower. Thats what the crazy warehouse guy would be saying this week and he exactly right there are piss all decent rookies left with Gav and Dennis jumping in price this week. But, I will search through the 95k bin and see what I can find for those that need to downgrade.

The pick of the group would be baby-boy Callan Ward. Juggling VCE, footy and a recent wild 18th birthday party, so snagging an average of sub 50 seems alright too me. Not only that you can get Wardy in both Back and Mids. Dogs only have 4 injuries on there list so the fact that he getting a game might mean he is a stayer. Cooney, Griffdawg and Cross will get him a heap of the pill. Decent looking fella too, which is important. Garry Hairy Lyon also labelled him the next Rocket Eade, which I spose is good? But, into the stats he has a Breakeven of -40 and an expected rise of 40k. He will set you back the normal 95k.
Kangaroos on the other hand has a rather long injury list so, there boy in Josh Smith might be a 2-3 hit wonder. Just like the great SDT and Proud. Oh, the memories. But, anyway, he is a forward. Averages 27. And, costs 95k. I would still get Valenti before him, even if he does play this week. V-train is bound to get a game soon.
The Bens are also cheapish at about 140k a pot. One from the pies in Ben Reid, the other in Ben Davies from the wounded Kangaroos. Ben Reid hit a minus 4 in his first week, then banged on 80. Another Buddy? Ben Davies has been more consistent. They are there if any one wants them, but Im saying NO DEAL, Andrew.
Polkinghorne also finally got his second game, now has a break even of -23 and youll find him in the Midfield. Atkinson is the same, but at an average of 19. Look elsewhere.

Ok, my predictions for this week were sensational. I said go for either Matthew Pavlich or Scott Thompson for captain in my last minute check. Pav got 164 and Scotty got 148. I also said avoid these two champions - Lance Franklin and Dean Cox. Well, what happened? Buddster only collected 66 and had to run up the ground to get those cause Bocky is the greatest backmen ever. Coxy could only get a season low 56.
In my best buys I didnt have that much luck with Bartel, Milburn and McLeod still below average. They will bounce back. Although, Gilbee got a decent 88, BJ wanged on 125 and Chapstick got 101.
You might listen now.

This week provides us with some key players coming back into their sides and there are some few outs also. Watson is back for tonights game against the eagles, Houli out with a groin injury. Murphys back from suspension for the dogs, while Bradshaw is a big out for the Lions who welcome back Drummond into their side. Can this spell danger for Joel Mc? Wells and Josh Smith are back for the roos while the crown and hawks welcome back Griffen and Dew. Brent Renouf will make his debut for the hawks and may be a good downgrade in the ruck position this week. Big Bad Barrys back for the swans and will look to throw some punches against the saints who also welcome back King, Gilbert and Harvey. Out goes L.Fisher and Armitage. In Sundays games Pendlebury, J.Selwood and S.Burgoyne are back with Scarlett and J.King both big outs for their teams.

Oh, dont hit that C or T button just yet. Just a quick run down of what to do before making those changes.
1. Dennis Armfield and Gav might be the last two decent rookies all year - depending on Valenti getting a game - if you need any money. BUY NOW, they cant stay at this price any longer.
2. Scott Thompson loves playing Hawks (touches wise) with 34 disposables of the prune last time. Although, that only got him 87 points. Surely, he wont be that ineffiecentive this time round.
3. Buddy might be a Buddy bad pick for captain this week. Only getting 30 last time the Crows faced off with the Hawks. Who trusts him yet, anyway? Speaking of which, Big Cox also hates Dons. He just doesnt go well agaisnt them. Be careful.
4. Possible bargains this week include Jimmy Bartel, Andy McLeod and Paul Chapman. And, I better mention Danny Kerr to keep old Greg happy.
5. The Roos are struggling with big forwards lately with the Twin Towers getting 6 each agaisnt them and MOOOONEY snagging 7. Pav might be good choice for captain. But he does only average 90 against them the last 3 times.

Woof, woof. The dog has got some ripping buys this week, cheap backs are left, right and centre at the moment. There is finally a good buy in the midfield but there are reports going around that niggling injury is slowing him down. And, a couple of forwards. Lets go.
<!--more-->
BARGAIN OF THE WEEK
Andrew McLeod
Peaked: 566k. Now: 362k. BE: 82.
Ok, this is a massive risk. But, thats what SuperCoach is all about taking a risk and hoping it pays off. His form has been shocking low with 68, 44, 39, 69, 68. And, your probably asking: Why would I buy someone that has averaged 58 over the last 5 weeks. Well, in the first 6 rounds he had an average of 110 so we know he can score big and price is too good to ignore and like all the bargains he will stay bottomed out for a couple of weeks unless he scores a 300 or something.
BEST BUYS
Getting abit lazy this week and cant be typing out all that for each Best Buy this week, so we just go through them all breifly. Firstly, Bartel has an average of 111 but some below average scoring has pushed his price down to 516k, still got a BE of 118 so your got a couple of weeks to get on board. Last chance for Gilbee this week who is about to shoot up in price (Now: 440k) with a BE of 6. BJ has decided he is going to fall a little more (BE: 101) after just a 65, but he starting to get alot more of the ball. So, jump on him as soon, or as late as you want. Chappy wanted to give everyone a couple more weeks to buy him with just an 86, and will Break Even at 85 this week and he is still just under 500k. Milburn at 460k is still asking people to buy him, but he is about to shoot with BE of 67. Get in soon. Stanton is cheap at the moment, and is about to rise cause he finally got a score of 100. But, dont buy him.
HOLD YA HORSES
Shaw thing is still bloody falling (BE: 157). Brad Ottens could be a good swap for Simmonds who will drop 72k this week...

With half the year already over and with many Supercoachers either nearly out of trades or have trades to burn, these coming weeks are very important weeks to start making your move in your league and in the overall rankings. Supercoachers across the whole competition are now looking for the little extra edge over everyone else for those league wins and if your lucky that end $25,000. So i have decided to write up about those players that are currently running hot and those players that are currently out of form. But apart from from the obvious stars like Ablett and Franklin i have decided to go with players that have been playing well above or below their average lately.

Scott
has taken his game to a new level over the last 3 weeks. Even though he
was averaging a very respectable 100.25 in his first 8 weeks, his last
3 have been outstanding. With scores of 135, 134 and 147 in the past 3
weeks it has highlighted not only his scoring skills but also his
consistency. Currently priced $568,100 i believe he would be a great
addition to any side.
2. Jonathan Brown (Bris)
Average in the last 4 weeks: 136
Average before that: 81
Overall Average: 103
The
big powerhouse forward from Brisbane has showed in the last 4 weeks why
many regard him as the best Centre Half Forward in the competition.
With scores of 131, 132, 165 and 116 since coming back from his week
off through injury he has shown why he should be in every Supercoach
side. He is also climbing back to his staring price of $597,000, he is
currently at $565,400.

Oh, can you believe it we are already half way through the year? Thats only 11 rounds to go. Most of your teams should be just about set, with only 2-3 more upgrades to go. And, get those 6-8 trades ready for finals time. But, I have been writing these blogs for weeks now but I have never had a chance to show you my team. So, first of all I will get my team a bit of a review then I will hand over the baton and you give it a shot.

While everyone was struggling with injuries to their backmen including (Kennelly, Cornes and Symes) mine have been cruising all year. Although some have dropped off a bit lately including Brett Jones, Nathan Bock and Grant Birchall. Jonesy was never going to be in my team all year but so far he has picked up an average of 83, which aint too bad. Most likely be traded for Gilbee this week (cause I was waiting for Cornes, but I wont risk it now). Bocky had been bloody awesome for me up until 3 weeks ago, now he hasnt cracked the ton in the last 3 weeks, averaging just 71. And, has been one of the reason my NR has slipped from 64th. Hopefully he will be back up to that average of 105 soon. Church has always been the 90s king, knocking a score up in the 90s five times this year, and only two 100s. But, still have a healthy average of 87. Since Ive traded in Heath Shaw he has averaged just 68, so dont even start me on that, but mind you I did get rid of that hack in Nicoksi for him. Sam Fisher, Marty Mattner and The Stiff Johncock have been three very handy performers for me all year....

Seriously...is there any point of this blog this week?? I doubt it. If you have Ablett & Franklin - one of them as captain and you cant go wrong. If you only have one of the two, your choice is made for you. If you have neither - cash in a cow and get one, because it doesnt look like their form is going to drop off anytime soon or their prices decrease.
Having said all that - exlcuding Franklin or Ablett - Ill run through a quick list of your other options, and offer a few thoughts as to why Franklin or Ablett may not be the best selections this week.

Dean Cox
Eagles playing the Dons this week and a chance at being a bit of a
smoky. Struggled against the Dons last year with scores of 76 and 67
and may be too big a risk this week with the two guns in such good
form. Look elsewhere for your captain, this blogger says!
Adam Cooney
Dogs back at the G this week to play the in form Lions and Cooney
coming off a somewhat disappointing 82 last week. Scored 125 last year
against the Lions but the Bulldogs have only played once at the G this
year, and the Dogs have had mixed results at the G over the years so
that may be a bit of a factor. Definitely worth a look if you dont
have the big two.
Adam Goodes
The luckiest man in football these days scored a big 153 last week
despite the Eagles going for him at every opportunity...apparently.
Against the Saints he should be a big chance for a similar score - but
scored 49 when these two met in Round 1 this year. Having said that he
scored over 100 in a 3 Brownlow vote performance last year so make of
that what you will. In the form he is in (I think he has 7 consecutive
100+ games) I dont think hes that much of a risk to put in as captain
this week.
Jono Brown
Top form, and playing the Doggies who may be without full back Brian
Lake. A respectable 116 last week but has turned the corner in form and
with Bradshaw out it may bring him back into 2007 scoring form. Got a
71 in...

Eagles playing the Dons this week and a chance at being a bit of a
smoky. Struggled against the Dons last year with scores of 76 and 67
and may be too big a risk this week with the two guns in such good
form. Look elsewhere for your captain, this blogger says!
Adam Cooney
Dogs back at the G this week to play the in form Lions and Cooney
coming off a somewhat disappointing 82 last week. Scored 125 last year
against the Lions but the Bulldogs have only played once at the G this
year, and the Dogs have had mixed results at the G over the years so
that may be a bit of a factor. Definitely worth a look if you dont
have the big two.
Adam Goodes
The luckiest man in football these days scored a big 153 last week
despite the Eagles going for him at every opportunity...apparently.
Against the Saints he should be a big chance for a similar score - but
scored 49 when these two met in Round 1 this year. Having said that he
scored over 100 in a 3 Brownlow vote performance last year so make of
that what you will. In the form he is in (I think he has 7 consecutive
100+ games) I dont think hes that much of a risk to put in as captain
this week.
Jono Brown
Top form, and playing the Doggies who may be without full back Brian
Lake. A respectable 116 last week but has turned the corner in form and
with Bradshaw out it may bring him back into 2007 scoring form. Got a
71 in...
