Popular picks missing this round = Defence = Shaw, Birchall, Lake, Grimes, Smedts, D/F Wilkes, Boumann (Dempsey???) --- Mids = Thomas, Clay Smith, Goodes F/M, Fyfe F/M, Ledger, Greene, Beams, Koby Stevens, --- Ruck = Luenberger, Mumford, Redden, Orren S, Longer, Broc McCauley, (Hale???) --- Forward = Goodes F/M, Fyfe F/M, Dickson, Smedts D/F, Cameron, Breust, Saad, (Hale???) --- & no doubt missed some... So... how are we all looking? Donut munchers v dieters? Dieting here but sacrificed early trades.
Panic traded Fyfe to Hayes, after doing it and reversing it 15 times during the week; calmly traded Shaw for Carrots; Had Smedts, Dickson, Redden, Stephenson, C Smith on the bench. No donuts and hopefully staying on the diet. Happy. In my leagues, seeing lots of Mummy donuts because of Redden/Stephenson and a few Fyfe donuts because of no bench coverage.
On a diet without making a trade. However I do have Milera, Morris and Ellis on field. Also have Dempsey as I have Lake and Shaw on the bench so a potential donut Have Giles as emergency in case Hale pulls out. Poor score coming my way...however I look forward to Dempsey scoring 90+
Made 2 trades to avoid Donuts, they were pretty good ones though I think, both sideways though which is never good. Mummy to Kreuz Shaw to M.Murphy using MPP
I made no trades only had lake and fyfe so had benchies to cover them . Also have Cameron, Dickson and ledger but was never playing them anyway. Wanted to asses the forwards another week before making the fyfe trade
I went ledger & Fyfe ---> Barlow & Treloar Didn't need to, but wanted to. Got a playing em on every line, except rucks. Although have Birchall on field; def em will likely take his place.
@Anthak Birch is out http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/more-news/round-4-teams-dale-thomas-and-heath-shaw-sidelined/story-e6frf9jf-1226333786860 I'm just waiting for Dempsey to be withdrawn too. I just didn't want to trade Shaw because of his handy BYE round.
Seems i've escaped alright. Missing Goodes, Shaw and Lake and traded Fyfe for Boyd. No donuts expected but no cover left either.
Rumour on BF about Coniglio being out. Hoping it's bollocks. http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=934657&page=5
Carnage for my lot. At a conference but caught the Mumford news, so traded in Sandi, moved Paine back to grab Treloar and give the reltonesque Yagmoor the arse. Thought all will be ok, kick back and enjoy the conference festivities. Wake to find Fyfe out, Dickson who was supposed to cover this also out, and Birchall a definite no, and with Shaw and Darley on the pine, no coverage. So, 2 premuim donuts and essentially 2012 Supercoach season over. At least at Round 4 it was a short death, now to focus on the Milikipati Snakes and ORFFL 2012.
Dempsey is out now too. I have avoided the donut but now have Morris, Ellis and Milera on the field. I also traded Mummy to Sandi but was set to do that even before Mummy was withdrawn.
Ahh Dempsey There's my first donut! Should have sacrificed early trades but too late now...season over! Unless all my underperforming prems fire (Delicious, Chappy, Franklin, Swallow).
Goodes, Lake, Fyfe and Coniglio, have a playing 22 though, Riewoldt disappointing score as Fyfe's replacement although probably not the best game for key forwards. Relying on scores from Mohr, D.Smith, Kennedy and Shiel today.
and the hits just keep on coming! I'm lucky enough to not have Dempsey BUT...had to burn two trades with Fyfe out and no bench cover. My MIA's are: Shaw Smedts Greene Goodes Mummy Redden Had to field Cripps (he's out the door next week - great, more trade burning!)and have Dickson has emerg with a probability of him wearing the green. Let's also throw in me having Hale as a possible late withdrawl and needing to field 6 GWS rookies, none of which are McDonald + Ellis. It's actually laughable, which is what I'm doing and what makes this a lot of painfully frustrating fun
They say Life's tough but Supercoach.. GEEZ The way things are going I wont have to worry about 3 trades per round over the bye rounds because I'll have burnt them long before then just to cover the current carnage!! Still rocking back and forward in the corner mumbling Supercoach, supercoach...
