I know this guy means good but I'm beginning to hate what he's doing to the classic SC landscape...

New feature coming, check what rnd the trades were made and who was traded. Should get it up tonight (after the kids are in bed) #supercoach

That's ridiculous if all your trades are now exposed...
How does he get all that info?

I guess with some formulas, it'd be doable if you have every team's round 1 information and keep track of the changes it to it weekly.
Too serious did have a similar feature for years but it was not on this scale where you could just search every team. You'd have to enter in who you wanted to track yourself.

The trades you are doing in the present still unknown.
Good on him for creating it. Clever tool.

Um... It appears that Collingwood is labelled as the favourite going into the ANZAC day match.
As a Collingwood supporter I really didn't expect this given our recent form. I've never gone against my club when betting,
but surely Essendon at $2.90 is worth a shot?

I remember reading somewhere that you always get good odds betting against Collingwood because they have the most supporters putting a little$10 bet on their team each week skewing the odds. As bad as Collingwood are they should still be favourites to beat Essendon. This is the game of the round because of the car crash factor. :)

There may be a bigger car crash factor around Fremantle on Sunday evening if Freo lose to my boys.

With that info you could probably work out how much cash your opponent has in the bank which will be handy during the finals.

I agree, he is a tool! I don't know how clever he is, though.
I for one hope SC/CD whoever, jump on him, and stop it.
One of the great tactical battles at the top of the table, as the season draws to a close, is trying to work out what trades your opponents have left. If this is removed, another element of the game is gone.

Agree. Enough of the variables have been taken out, or are handed to people on a platter.

Dunno if this affects anything SC related this season but apparently Blues are considering trading Gibbs in a trade involving Patton and Tomlinson.

Disclaimer as still speculation only, but does this mean Blues rely less on Gibbs on more on other players?
Who is 'The Rover' who wrote that? Does he/she have any credibility? I had a quick read through some of his/her articles, they are of quite a poor standard.

That's a good point. I just saw it pop on my twitter feed. It's so speculative, probably not worth the words.

I think the tool is clever but also do not know just how clever he is, given it might have been more useful to keep it under wraps for himself rather than share it via a website.
Whilst not knowing how many trades are left was of intrigue, of far more interest to me is how each coach near the top uses their trades at the end which will always be unknown until trades have been done.

I was wondering to myself today whether SC try to stop this in any way as I'm sure in last couple of days they are fully aware of it. Not heard anything but not looked at twitter in recent days to see if there is any such talk.
At end of day though, he is simply monitoring the changes of all teams week by week and working out the number of weekly changes of players to each team. Fundamentally that is just information that always been able to be do if someone wanted to put the work in to monitor other teams week by week.

Virtual sports would have to change aspects of their site and seeing all other teams or ask him to remove his website. The last part maybe more their angle if they get in contact with him directly.

Hi all,

A few weeks ago, I saw a SCS member make reference to Fox Sports subscribers being able to access Live SC Scores via SuperFooty Live HQ. However, I can’t for the life of me find the posts on SCS!

My Fox Sports login details keep drawing blanks and essentially re-load the login page. I remember the initial post making reference to there being a trick or particular way to get access with a Fox Sports account.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks.
I connected mine over a year ago so forget exactly how I did it but I remember that you had to have the same email adress for your foxsports website login as your foxtel TV account.

Also I go to the match centre via foxspirts website, not via the HS site.
Here's the thread link. Works a treat, Bens Beasts provided it. Might prove a bit fiddly if you have a different foxtel email to your herald sun email but I figured out some work arounds and I'm not overly savvy. Happy to help if u get stuck.

Excellent, thanks very much for your help Philzsay and Dicksilverman. Fingers crossed I can make it work!
Unfortunately, the Live Scores didn't work for me last weekend! I tried all the work arounds kindly suggested above, but still got the error where the login page would re-load, even when using the Foxtel / Fox Sports email. So I guess that makes me not so tech savvy! :confused:

Dicksilverman - If possible, I'd appreciate your kind offer for further help!
