TooSerious
For those who take it way too seriously
Ok, two new features. One big. One small.
Ill start with the small one, cause yanno, it goes out to everyone.
Multi-positional players now have an Asterix * next to their position, to indicate to you, that they can also be selected in another position. Its nothing fancy, and wont tell you exactly where the other position is (but hey, you got a 1 in 3 chance of guessing...), but it will do the trick for you in a pinch.
The next addition is for the Premium Dream Team tab - This is a subscriber only feature.
Now, first of all, you will find a bunch of fields under your account tab. These are yours to rename.
Once you have done this, youll find that when selecting a player, instead of having the options of Squad, Bench and Watch - Youll have the option to allocate players to teams.
Enabling you to keep track of your players, but also letting you see who out of the player-pool isnt selected.
Very. Handy. Stuff.
Theres more uses for it, but Ill let you figure that out yourself...
And now that this is in, I can finally get started on my gameday pages... Which if it works as i imagine, should be very nice.

I gotta make it quick this week, busy with alot of other stuff. There is a couple of good backs, but other than that I wouldnt downgrade this week. Unless Valenti gets picked.
<!--more-->
The two back men Im talking about are Dennis Armfield and Gavin Urquhart (lets call him Gav). But, they both have knock up an average of about 75 in there first two games. Gav has a BE of -101, while Armfields is -90. They both look very handy players. If your still got Taylor - downgrade now. Also, watch for Selwood, Spanger, Hinkley and the big V to get a game.
We also had some debutants on the weekend being the The Hawk in James Hawksley from Brisbane, the school boy from the Dogs Callan Ward and the roo Ben Davis. None of them stood out only collecting 117 between all three.

This is a new segment on TooSerious that will be published every Monday, usually looking at the weekends tags - which players could shake the ferrets off and which couldnt handle the tag. But, as it is the first week of it, Im going to look back on the year which has been the beginning of a new craze tagging those loose men in defense or running backmen, call them whatever you like but they usually get heaps of cheap touches for a Fantasy Teams.
<!--more-->
It all started back in round 1 and guess what team it was, Syndey. McVeigh went straight to Gram who probably had never been tagged before and it showed only managing 56 SuperCoach points. So, the next week West Coast got on board and sent Nicoski to the forward line to follow McLeod. Nicoski being the shit player he is failed and McLeod got 128 points. But that same week Kornes was sent to Kennelly and he looked more lost than a little girl in the woods only getting 34 points. So, Kornes thought this will be an easy way to make myself look like a god tagger and went to McLeod (McLeod might have been in the midfield this week, who knows) the week after and again he struggled with just 17 touches of the pill but did pick up a decent 95 points.
Gilbee was the next victim, he was on Davey. But, it is believe that Davey had a bigger focus on kepting his touches done and he done well with Gilbee only get the prune 14 times but in Gilbee style he managed 95 points. Heath Shaw copped his first tag of the year with Grigg following him. But who said he cant handle a tag? Notching up 120 points. Rawlings must have been watching Grigg and thought he could do a better job in Round 5, and that he did keeping Shaw to just 28 points. Lower kept McLeod score very low, only just 68. To really kick off the craze. Gilbee copped Kieran Jack the same...

So, another week is done and dusted. And how did we go?
I managed a 2140, which pulled me through in the eliminator (VS a 2045... Sorry guy.
)
Had a fantastic forward line this week with Porpz pulling in the lowest score (on a 95), Mids were servicible. Kornes, Stanton and Palmer the standouts (Go STANTS!)... Sadly, Jack is still in the Line-up...
Cox, a little disappointing... But then so was McIntosh.
And then came the back line. Actually, the only *bads* were Cornes and Birchall. The rest did ok, I guess... 80s and 90s...
So all in all, a descent week.
Also, the Premium Dreamteam is up. Were sitting in #51.
Nice job Bray, pipped me by a little.
So, now you know how I went, how did you go?

<p class="MsoNormal">[span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma;">Oh, it’s
finally over after 4 days. About time too. Cause this week your score will be
based on how your backs went, and yeah, mine struggled. But check it out for
yaself if you look at ya score and you’ve had a shocker (below 2100) your backs
would have struggled and if you had a ripping weekend (above 2300) check you
backs and I bet your backmen have been awesome. If ya had an about average,
check your backs and you would see a couple of good ones, and some bad ones.
But, yeah, I will go into more detail about that during the week. But, for now
lets do a quick review of Stars and Flops. And, it will be only quick cause
FanFooty decided to arse-up on me.

Just before you make any trades and captain selections read this...
1. A downgrade is a must this week. If downgrading a back go for Wilkes, if downgrading a midfielder (which I dont think anyone would) go for JPK, and if a forward go for Jarryd Morton.
2. Also, an upgrade is also on the cards this week. Gilbee looks good down back. Roo, BJ and Chapman are all cheap down forward and in the midfielder it could be any one of 20 players.
3. Brown looks like the pick for captain this week. But, Im worried about his knee. Cox and Cross are always safe bets.
4. What to do with Waters and Burton? If you got 10+ trades then trade. Less than 10, dont. Simple as that.
Goodluck.

Two big ins for Geelong, Chapman and Mooney are surely to please Supercoach fans this week. For those that have N.Thompson and Hawkins this may the week to trade them out, both are out this week, SDT returns. Johnson is out also for the Tigers due to injury. The suspensions of Burton, R.Murphy and Waters hurt supercoachers throughout the country. One gun out (Sewell) and one gun in (Hodge) for the hawks, Morton and Kennedy keep their spots. 7 changes for the WCE this including Hunter and Masten in, McKinley dropped. Cassisi, Bell and Waite back for their respective teams. Plenty of oportunities to downgrade injured, dropped or 'Peaked' player this week to a number of 'cheap' players that are named for there sides this week.
Tip of the week - must downgrade Tippett if you still have him on your bench (BE 113) and will only go down from now on, to J.Morton[span class="Normal">

Well its time to sell those rookies with most starting to peak. Given most people have a combination of Wonaeamirri, Hill, Jack, Morton, Bird, Tippett, Rioli and Gamble there is plenty of dollars to be made.
But who should you upgrade to? Buying the most expensive player you can afford isn’t necessarily the best option and just like selling at the right price, you should make sure you try and buy at the right price.
So, focusing on price, here are my “Gunâ€, “Mr. Consistency†and “roughie†selections across the backline, midfield and forward line.
<!--more-->
Backline
Gun:
Andrew Mackie: $382,200. Expensive but a gun, and no
one has him (only 4,557 owners!!). 60pts round 1 and got injured then
73 & 76 coming back from injury in rounds 5 and 6. Since then =
137, 97, 86 and 102. That’s an average of 105.5 over the past month!
Mr. Consistency:
Nathan Bock: $341,700. Consistency and
backline don’t really go together and Bock isn’t super consistent but
with an average of 86.80 and low of 60 he’s not a bad pick at a good
price. Birchall is another option but doesn’t seem to have the ability
to 100+ like Bocky.
Roughie:
Andrew McLeod: $251,400. With a name like McLeod
it’s a rare “roughie†but with a price like $250k it’s hard to ignore.
Maybe wait a week or two and make sure there isn’t some underlying
injury causing his recent bad scores (first 7 weeks he averaged 82.14,
last 3 weeks he has averaged 38.66), but at this rate you could
“downgrade†Wonaeamirri to McLeod!?!?
Midfielders
Gun:
Jimmy “don’t call me James†Bartel: $417,100. Is a DT
star and about as cheap as he will get. Averaging 106.3 and down
$79,700 in price! Get on him. Tackles, kicks goals, takes marks, and
has a bloke named Ablett grabbing the attention next to him.
Mr. Consistency:
Simon Black: $396,800. Black’s middle
name is consistency. Average of 99.22 with a low of 83 and a high of...

Wooah, its going to be a big week in trading and if you dont make 2 trades this weekend - you are crazy. There are cheap rookies that are about to shoot like fireworks and we have got some ripping buys this week. Even bargain basement is charging more than the SuperCoach shop. As Darrell Eastlake would say 'Its HHHUUUUUGGGGGGEEEE!'

As we all know this bloke is a SuperCoach legend, from the top of my head his efficiency was above 95% on the weekend. He is unbelievable at hitting the target. But, he has had little ferrets following him around this year and it is hurting his scores only averaging 87. But, he wont continue that forever he is apart of the in form team of the competition and got a yummy 135 points last week. Seriously, if you got any mid priced backmen left, go for the bee. Watch out for Birss though he has lockedout Shaw and McLeod well in the past. Fact of interest: He has the 3rd current biggest fall in price since the start of the year.
