Discussion 2025: AFL SuperCoach Discussion

[Erek22]

What is he doing in there? Hasn’t had a CBA since 2020. Wasn’t in their top 15-20 options for any of the last five years …

Read somewhere they were planning on running him as an inside mid this year

 

[Miller is a Steele]

Trainor has looked good. Although unlikely for Round 1, you’d think he’ll get a chance at some stage and be a nice downgrade option.

 

[Darkie]

Strange one with 27 dispoals, 6 clearances and 12 CP.

Surely they have to stick with it now.

Good to see a senior player stand up for the Tigers. Very important in a season like this.

 

[Blue Bloods]

Yeah scored really well for the short time out there, must be a chance to start after that effort

Wouldn't be shocked,good talent,3rd tall.
Obviously a bit light but has the ability to use it well

 

[Vicwood]

I thinking not running with Bont or Gawn my team structure looks heaps better with the extra cash. Could back fire though.

Bont in Over 55% of teams, leaving him out is a massive call.

Gawn less so. With the news out of Carlton TDK is back on the temptation list at R2

You would be happy with Perryman, Daicos, Nank and Short if you had them before today.

Not really, wanted Perryman to stay more of a POD. Mills was probably the one that’s caused his rise in popularity anyway.

Couldn’t really take much from that game, didn’t learn anything if I’m honest.

I still think he probably gets overlooked over similar options. He probably still discourages a fair amount on being defensive. Take the goal and a few tackles off and that is probably where he sits most weeks.

I'd be happy if he can produce at about 10% off what Hewett did in a similar outlook a few seasons back.

 

[Darkie]

Nick Daicos with 153 in 59% TOG

I would think Tom Mitchell in 2023 was a decent benchmark and keep in mind that Titchell could also affect him at some point. Removing Titchells injured games he averaged 104 and he is a fantasy pig. 95 might be a reasonable expectation for Perryman. Not a must have but might fill a spot.

Yeh it's still a really limited sample on Daicos as M1 and what fills in behind him.

Pendlebury was their main second and Crisp only increased after Mitchell + JDG were injured.

What is Perryman’s role when not in the CBA? Back flank?

Looked like he played the whole game in midfield playing as the defensive midfielder-didn’t see him move to a back flank myself.

Saw him in the fwd line a bit too, fed a goal to someone.

Really impressed by his game & role, very tempted to move SDK out for him. Draper exposed him so badly in the ruck yesterday which was very concerning. SDK was good around the ground but really looked out of his depth in the ruck contests.

 

[Crowls]

Hard to read into that. At least we get another look because that was Scott just wanting to see what Tsatas and Hobbs have to offer. Hobbs is not that much more expensive than Tsatas.

Hobbs can get the ball but his use and decision making was very poor yesterday. Tsatas a better option than Hobbs for me. I personally would be disappointed to see Hobbs in our senior team unless he dramatically improves his disposal.

You can use whatever narrative you like for each player to justify them in or out of your teams but I think understanding the damage some of the players can do to your season not having them. I’d be prepared to risk a few fades potentially with high ownership numbers but guys like Sheezel, Daicos, Bont, Xerri and even Gawn I’m super nervous about leaving out even with the bye. Remember that you’re getting two players here for the price of one.

Not sure I get the last comment, you’re only getting 1 player for the exact price that they performed last year? You’ll only get burned if they outperform that, or in Gawn/Bont’s case maybe doing what they did + captain scores. Bit like picking GAJ priced at 130, you knew him going 130 again was a big win because you could just C him every week.

But yeah on the whole I agree, you think you’re missing out on a game, but when Daicos outdoes Brayshaw by 50 points in round one, then you’ve already unwound what was lost.

The huge thing to also consider is, you're down a game in best 18 weeks with between 5 (no loops) and 8 (with loops) scores dropping out. There's a massive difference between that scenario and a premium missing in a normal best 22 week.

Yeah I don't know why people are stressing about the Byes of players like Merrett, Flanders, Sicily etc. They miss one round where it's best 18 and might be your only player out. It's like a 30 pt hit. Means nothing if they're the right selection.
