Opinion Rate My AFL SuperCoach Team

[Manikato1]

I see Mitch Hibberd in a lot of teams. At his price I suppose he should make cash but I looked at his stats for 2019 in the VFL and he handballs A LOT and his kicking is ineffective sometimes. In one game he had 12 kicks and 24 handballs. In fact he had 13 games where his HB was equal or greater than his kicks. He also had six games where his ineffective kicks were equal or greater than his effective ones including games where he had 11 kicks and 9 were ineffective and another 14 kicks for 10 ineffective. Still at that price I suppose you can butcher it and still make money.

So with those sorts of stats, that'd make him the 3rd best Essendon midfielder already

Patrick Cripps had exactly 2 games last year where he had more kicks than handballs. If you're getting it that much, it's really not going to matter... especially at basement price.

Sorry FT. Haven't got much info for you, I am sure there are other Hawks fans who do though! @Goodie's Guns @Nest @Ironhawk

Not really unfortunately. I doubt he starts in the team in R1, but maybe later in the season he'll be a chance.

That’s a pretty good effort if you’re new to AFL SC. Structure looks pretty good - while it should ultimately be determined by rookie depth, it’s a good starting point.

Notable player choices, in my view, are:

Rich. He’s on many ‘never again’ lists after being a perennial underperformer who finally came good in 2019. The negative is that he’s priced off that average, so unless you think he’s a massive beneficiary of the new rules from last year (which may be the case), he’s probably not one to start at that price. You could switch him for Doc and save cash, which would be more conventional and an upgrade in my view.

J Kelly. He’s arguably injury prone and in my view therefore more suited to being an upgrade target (because you’re exposed to his injury risk for a shorter period). Taking on injury risk is fine (if a player is discounted, or likely to improve their scoring), but it’s easier to bear this if it is spread, on deeper lines, and/or not that large across your team. I’d be mildly concerned about an injury prone mid if I was going only four deep. More durable options could include Neale and Oliver.

Jacobs. It looks like almost everyone will end up starting Gawn and Grundy, which history suggests rarely works well, although it worked tremendously last year. Personally I think Jacobs is a viable option, so long as he is fit and Mumford is playing little or no ruck. Some excellent midfielders to hit it to and historically he’s extremely durable. Worth flagging that his premium scoring years came under the old ruck scoring system, which favoured him more.

Greene. Personally I just don’t see the appeal from an SC perspective, unless you want to pick a player you like watching. Creates headaches every year with suspensions and injury, and played some mid time last year that potentially inflates his price versus what he’ll get this there given GWS will presumably have fewer mid injuries. I’d suggest making life easier for yourself ?

Wingard. Probably just below premium level in my view even when he’s playing well. Super talented but he just hasn’t kicked on in SC.

Lynch. Could be a bit like Wingard with a caveat. He was supposed to score better at Richmond but from memory had an early injury, albeit he also was playing a pretty SC-unfriendly role (few possessions, big focus on kicking goals). I’d suggest Wingard and Lynch to Dusty (highly durable, near lock to be a top forward) and a rookie could be worthwhile, and I suspect it would free up a little cash too.

Best of luck!

Tom Lynch will be able to train twice a week for the first time this season after Richmond's bye in a fortnight, with Tigers coach Damien Hardwick full of admiration for the key forward's efforts so far this season.

Considering Lynch was not a full fitness until Round 22 or there about.

With a full pre-season it would not be unreasonable for him to raise his base scores and minimise the differential between his best and worst games.

Before anyone mentions the MCG, Collingwood played more games at the MCG in 2019 than Richmond.

Completely agree with what you have said, but playing as a full forward always leads to down games SuperCoach wise, maybe 1 goal 10 disposals , especially when jack Riewoldt is playing in the same forwards line

Not much information to go by here, but I will do some assuming and have a go!

If you are talking about the Supercoach website, then you are not able to create a team until the end of Jan/early Feb when it officially opens to all non gold subscription users. That means unless you paid the Herald Sun $20 last year for the season long stats pass, you will not be able to use the sites team picker yet.

I too have the long wait each year as it turns my stomach handing over money the Murdochs.

Some good info here.

If/when he gets back to full fitness, would you expect him to play a different (more SC friendly) role, or to play a similar role but be more effective at it?

 

[Leroy]

Hmm. Only 2 trips out of Melbourne pre-bye and then 6 out of 7 at the MCG in the lead up to the bye, including two interstate teams.

If you were going to start him hoping for a spike from the draw, you can't ask much better than that. Maybe he finds his way back in at F3 after all...
