Is it just me, or are Supercoach team numbers down on the past couple of years?

I'm sure someone on here wrote something about this at the start of the season that it had stabalised this season at 200000 which was simliar to last year but a lot down on the 350000 it peaked at a few years back.

Excellent explanation to make it easy for me to follow and do.

If I don't see J.Smith in that side this week and Petracca the next, it is 100% a ghost ship.
Bingo Bingo has cash cows of Weitering, Dea, Adams, Brown, McDonald-Tippa, Davis, Gresham. Hewett, Mills, Kerridge, Kennedy, Papley and Menadue.
Have Wells and Libba as popular mid pricers.
Also have Grimley just played his second game.
None of their premiums have had injuries from what I seen.
There is some chance they simply felt no need to make a change so far as odd as it looks to us.

I agree though, if I do not see any of Menadue, Davis or some cash cow types that look to be done traded for Josh Smith or Mason Cox next round I reckon the person that set team up has not been attending to it.
Having said that, it is awesome to have all 30 trades still there at this stage.
I think one way to confirm whether or not it is a ghost ship would be to check whether there are any other configuration changes (not just trades) from one week to the next.

If they're not changing their C/VC/emergencies, especially over three weeks or more, I think it adds a lot to the argument that they're simply not tending to the team.

I agree with Bomber and Oz though, we should know soon enough :)
I did not take note of what I saw the week before when looked at team but fairly sure it was all the same. Having said that Dangerfield C and Hewett E is not exactly crying out for needing changed based on looking at how that team is going.

Laird, Weitering and Libba are in their squad. Given two of those guys are out and Libba under a cloud any team owned with a coach attending it would certainly make a trade and/or some other changes in this next round.

I can confirm on just checking then they must have made two trades this week because I no longer see Dea or Weitering in his team.
Josh Smith is in and not noticed what the other player is new but suspect it probably an upgrade to defence.

Had Smith and Mills on the ground in midfield and Dangerfield still captain.

Got 2102 for round and dropped to 174th.

Lucky for them they are no Rockliff or McCarthy owner like some of us are.

They can still make impact for rest of season.

Quick question for the few Freo fans here.
Would it be worth Pavlich simply playing one more game as a farewell game and hang up the boots?

I actually thought last year he was retiring and surprised he went on but understood if maybe he believed they were some premiership chance in 2016 it was worth putting in one final year.
Clearly 7 games into 2016 season and Freo are now no longer a premiership chance and have to look to the future.
Pavlich retiring now and allowing Taberner and Apeness to get the key forward gigs for rest of 2016 season seems like what should be Fremantle's priority right now to see if there is any future for either of those young key forwards on their list.

Kade Simpson was the other trade in. He has $19000 in the bank.

I have a bit of a problem when I click to view someone's team ie: my own http://supercoach.heraldsun.com.au/afl/classic/other_teams/?tid=81

I clicked the totals column just randomly and now I can't get it back to showing the team by position.
Anyone know how to fix that? I can't find which column to click to get it back to normal!
I think HS have changed the lay-out. Don't think it was your doing. I prefer the old way, more convenient for breaking teams down. They should at least have a position tab!

They're only showing top 22 by total points now. Suspect this is to throw a spanner in the works of the sctradecounter.

Amazing amount of growth (and decline).

Jay told me he preferred to wait for the comp to max out in entrants before deciding to win :p
