For those who take it way too seriously
Bad news for the Pendle holders... Good news for us Beamers? Cmon you good thing!
<blockquote>COLLINGWOOD forward Anthony Rocca is still a chance to play against Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday, but midfielder Scott Pendlebury appears in some doubt.
Speaking ahead of his team’s clash with the Demons, coach Mick Malthouse said Rocca could yet come into calculations for a late call-up despite his absence from the named emergencies.
"These are the idiosyncrasies of selection on a Thursday night," Malthouse said.
"We don’t train [for the final time] until today.
"He’s trained very well but I’m not prepared to comment too much on our final 22 other than to say what’s been in the paper has been selected at this stage."
Even if he doesnt line up for the Pies, Malthouse said Rocca would definitely play at some level this weekend.
Pendlebury trained away from the main group on Wednesday and was missing from Fridays session.
"Scott wasn’t out there. He’s a bit sore," Malthouse said.
"People are sore. You’ve got to make sure they’re 100 per cent ready to go. We’ll weigh that up." </blockquote>

Alrighty, between the injuries, Ive been tightening up the place.
Theres been a handful of bug fixed go in. Which is nice.
The astute user would have noticed the new field on the Player Page. Its hiding down on the right there.
Titled - TOG. Time of ground. From my understanding, this statistic is hard to find online in any meaningful way- so well try to keep it up to date here.
Also, Ive done some work on the live Supercoach scores. Technically, I havent tested this - so its only tonight where we will find out if it work, but Im really hoping to have the quarterly scores back.
(Though if it breaks, I wont be around to fix it anyways!
Anyone want to email me if something goes pairshaped! take screenshots. )
Youll notice that the named players are back in the mix this week. And just to remind the masses out there what they all mean.
Green ball - named.
Orange ball - named on an extended bench.
Half orange/red - named as an emergency.
Red ball - Well, this one is kinda gone now... awwww, silly red ball, just taking up space.
So yeah, good luck with this weekend everyone. Keep your eye on those sneaky blues and heres hoping the Dockers and Bombers name everyone in my list.
Cheers.

Those backline woes just never die.
Micheal Hurley is <a href="http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/74258/default.aspx" target="_blank">gone for a month[/url]. That makes Kyle Cheney look like the only downgrade option for most teams for Andrew Raines.
Its sad for the youngster and those that picked him up. But for those that dont see could see Hill, Petrenko, Cheney, Suban peaking when he comes back for his 3rd match.

I dont have time this week to do research for you all, but I can say that Johnno Brown is as tempting as a threesome with Lara Bingle and Jen Hawkins. Others that look to score big are Pavlich and Brent Harvey after a poor first week. If you do have Ablett, well you should not have even read this far. Bartel, Corey, Selwood also should be strongly considered against a weak Richmond outfit.

<blockquote>Luckless Eagles big man Dean Cox found out yesterday that the finger he dislocated in a ruck contest at the Gabba on Saturday night requires surgery. Cox had been hoping that dislocation was only minor, and that he would be able to play regardless of the injury. However, the Eagles medical staff informed him yesterday evening that the finger did require minor surgery and that he would be facing a 2-3 week lay-off.
This comes as a shock to the Eagles coaching staff, who watched Cox win All Australian honours playing with a broken bone in his foot last season, as well as start this season with a fractured cheekbone he suffered in pre-season training. Nevertheless, coach John Worsfold did admit it worried him when Cox was unable to mark with the affected hand at training yesterday. "Dean [Cox] copped a knock on the finger in a ruck contest down in the back pocket on Saturday night. We are still hopeful that he will be right for Sunday though," Worsfold said to the media after training yesterday.
Worsfold will not be impressed by the news that his star ruckman is now facing more than two weeks on the sidelines, as potential replacement, number two draft pick Nick Natanui is still three weeks away from fitness with a knee injury. This leaves the Eagles with only one recognised ruck option in Mark Seaby, although full-forward Quentin Lynch has occasionally been given ruck duties in the past. </blockquote>

Okay, here it goes, I have no chance of giving you the right answer, but I will do my best.

1. I dont have Andrew Raines or Liam Anthony.
Go f**k yourself, you lucky prick.
My Verdict: Just leave a comment in this blog reading "Suffer in your jocks" and bugger off.
2. I dont have Andrew Raines, but I have Liam Anthony.
Most definitely trade Liam Anthony, but save it until next week.
My Verdict: Trade Liam Anthony for Robinson, next week.
3. Andrew Raines is my 7th back, and I dont have Liam Anthony.
This is a pretty easy decision. Since you havent been a rookie on the ground. Simply play one of your current rookies, and trade in the best rookie, with the lowest breakeven next week. If you dont have any playing bench players, look at players like Gilbert, Hurn, Pettard and Head.
My Verdict: Trade for Kyle Cheney before round 3.
4. Andrew Raines is my 6th back, and I dont have Liam Anthony.
You most definitely dont want four rookies in your backline. If Pettard is your 7th back, got for a rookie. If your 7th back is Hill, well look into a sideaways swap for either Gilbert, Hurn, Pettard or Head. If you have coin, you might as well upgrade him and forget about it but I would imagine most wont. But, most definitely dont pick 4 sub-$150k players, as only 5 got a game in Round 1. Benching Raines is also worth looking into here.
My Verdict: Trade for Ricky Pettard this week.
5. Andrew Raines is my 7th back, and I have Liam Anthony.
Trade Raines this week, worry about Anthony next week. I would look at downgrading Raines to either Kyle Cheney (119) or Jared Petrenko (65) depending on your current set up. That gives you a couple of choices with Liam Anthony, but I think the best would be a straight swap with Robinson if he gets named round 3. If you have coin, I would also look at trading Liam Anthony for Travis Tuck this week.

Wow, picked the wrong week to go to a wedding! I see the Supercoach feed has been supplying rubbish all weekend!
Damn them and their sneaky sneakiness!
Ah well, if I can work something else out for you guys, I will- But if it turns out that I cant figure something out, then well all have to pour some on the curb for an idea that would have been full of awesomeness.
Anyways, preliminary guesses see a week one score of 2250 - which makes me happy.
The highlights on the team is Ablett as captain, 700 points coming from the back line, Krakour, Skippy and Higgins all smashing it in the forward.
140 to Higgins! HUGE!
And finally, Robbo and his 109 coming on as an emergency for Anthony... niiiice.
The bad though - Anthony and Raines getting injured... oh the pain!
Deledio and Selwood doing a little under performing... But certainly nothing to worry about.
And finally, my Unique ruck division (TM) of Hille and Petrie both scoring less COMBINED than either Ottens or McIntosh.
Ah well, live and learn.
How did you all go?

How did you all go?
Howdy all.
Its time for some Round 1 Talk.
Already Im 0/1 for my Tips.
Happy happy to have the footy season back!  How are your teams going? SuperCoach preferred, but if you want some DreamTeam action Im sure theres enough fans here to chat.
Poor Cousins.  If any result and the injury sustained would drive a man back to the addiction it would be this. Hope it all works out for him.

Alright guys, this will probably be my last post until after lock-out.
Some selfish brother-in-law of mine is have a wedding this weekend. (Of all weeks!)
So I wont be around here to fix anything if it goes wrong.
I can however give you something new to break while Im gone.
The Gameday tab
Under here, provided all goes to plan (and doesnt break while Im away!), will include all sorts of handy information under pre-game, and live statistics while the game is happening.
The pre-game tab currently hosts the following information.
The top 5 players for each team in the following categories:
- Highest average for the season.
- Highest average over the last 3 games.
- Highest average against that particular team in the last 3 games.
- highest average at that ground over the last 3 games.
It also has weather report that will for the most parts be updated daily (unless Im at a wedding!).
The live tab will contain live Dreamteam scores and semi-live Supercoach scores (ie- quarterly updates).
An added benefit here is that any players on you team, or watchlists, will be highlighted for ease of viewing.
Theres also other assorted plans for this screen in the future, but hey, Ive had a team to plan!
I would love to hear any suggestions in the comments.
Good luck all - and may all your team be named.
(ps- dont trust the 160 minute malestrom! Its gunna be chaos!)

OK heres a weblink you might be interested in
This doesnt really tell you much you dont already know, but its a nice checker for peace of mind, and includes all SuperCoach stats for the NAB Cup and NAB Challenge.
Before you look at the link, my final warning - most guns didnt play full games in the NAB Cup/Challenge, meaning scores for average players is inflated, and scores for guns is probably slightly depressed.  Now that the warnings over, get into the stats.
