He's got Marty Clarke and Jackson Paine in his team? Surely he has the inside running and they are due to play enough to moo?
Behind the currently free paywall/digital pass on the evil HUN. One of the Superfooty videos titled 'No room for buddy'. Absolutely no inside info here ;-)
I'll have to read up on my HUN a bit more! Cheers for that. While my two month pass is still active. Then after that I'll just hack my in ha ha
Anyone got any thoughts on Jackson Paine? He has to be worth a look if Pendlebury is picking him. Has not exactly been doing a heap in the NAB cup but i think he was sub affected. Anyone know more?
Could be a replacement for Leigh Brown maybe? Dunno what happens to him once Wood gets back into their side, if he does at all.
Doesn't anyone else find it stange that players are allowed to play supercoach? or any fantasy game they are part of?
@theclaude maybe thats why aaron davey didnt go hard in that contest with n roo last year. He had him in his SC team! On another note, pendles picking marty clarke has renewed my confidence in him vs guthrie
I've seen most of the Pies games and I think Paine has been the most impressive Collingwood rookie, ahead of Yagmoor and Clarke, based on impact alone (not sure it will translate to SC points). His attack on the ball his ferocious and he can take a mark. Problem is, he has been playing forward and cannot kick for shit. He missed a goal against the Saints from 10 metres out directly in front. Haven't seen him played down back at all yet. Judging on pre-season games, I wouldn't be suprised if the Pies play Dawes as a the second ruck (pinch hitting for a few minutes at the end of the quarter to relieve Jolly). Dawes spent of lot of time rucking in the VFL before he started playing regularly in the AFL. I wouldn't be suprised if they give that tactic a go at the start of the season, which could mean Paine is required as another forward 50 target. If it doesn't work though, Wood could come back in once he is match fit and not sure where Paine would fit in then.
Paine only scored 39 points from 100% tog against Melbourne in the preseason, doesn't strike me as a particularly high scorer.
Don't like Marty Clarke at all but seems to have the highest JS out of all of the back rookies outside of the GWS ones and Ellis.
Yeah interesting rookie choice for pendles - pretty awesome to see superstars playing SC themselves. His team is actually pretty awesome too. I'm tossing up between Jackson Paine vs A Hall vs Billie Smedts in the forward line. I wonder if pendles does have some inside info on how much jackson paine will play?
If Pies are going to use Dawes as Leroy, someone needs to replace Dawes. Paine looks to be the man. Pies need to rotate Jolly and Wood over the season to keep them both fresh. Occasionally they will both play but I think that this stuffs the Pies rotations and makes them too top heavy. Paine would be a slow burner, but his DF ability enables him to be moved to the backline and you can bring in another forward if you stuff a few positions up. Read Morris. Hmmmm.
