Discussion 2021: Strategy, Team & Player Discussions

[KLo30]

Hopefully @nicohighscore or @Erich1036 have something planned after their brilliant efforts last season.

I am definitely not an IT expert, I do know how to call our IT help people at work though, that's about my limit.

I've got python on my computer, and tried to follow some instructions post of a previous version of Supercoach, however I couldn't get it to work for the 2020 version. I've managed to successfully set up formulas in Google Sheets to import data from tables for our Ultimate competition. There is probably one trick/step I'm missing or not getting correct.

@nicohighscore might be our man.

1. Who’s looking at ROB or another non-Grawndy type at R1/2?
2. How deep are you batting in DEF? Somehow ended up with 5 (Laird, Whitfield, McDonald, Stewart, potentially Z Williams) in my first draft. Like them all but leads to a skinny MID line.
3. Heeney / Tom Phillips / Ziebell - anyone with any of these in their first draft?
4. Yeo / Cripps: Any takers?

 

[Connoisseur]

B Grundy, P Cripps, E Yeo, Z Williams, I Heeney, D Heppell, J Ziebell and J Dunkley

2020 Starting Prices= $4,628,700 (Avg of $578,587.50 per player)
2021 Starting Prices= $3,705,200 (Avg of $463,150 per player)

Difference of $923,500

@Beg2Differ may be able to help too, I think he knows how to scrape the data as part of the rolling teams that he runs.

Nothing planned at the moment sorry, the whole task is manually input which is very time consuming which I just don't have at the moment. Although if someone with the team planner wants to use my previous spreadsheets and update it, feel free!

I wasn't aware that it was all manually entered, great work on that, it would take me weeks to do, not a day or two like you managed last year!

Jordan Clark Def/Mid at $241,800 has caught my attention

 

[Connoisseur]

No team picker for me, but thanks to some searching, below is my 1st draft:

Def: R Laird, T Stewart, A Witherden, Z Williams, D Roberton, L Jones (PA), (rookie, rookie)
Mid: L Neale, T Mitchell, P Cripps, E Yeo, T Taranto, D Heppell, T Powell, A Davies (rookie, rookie, rookie)
Ruck: B Grundy, B Preuss, (J Treacy)
Fwd: J Dunkley, R Marshall, I Heeney, J Ziebell, N Cockatoo, F Macrae (rookie, rookie)

Roughly $115,000 to $117,000 for each bench rookie available.

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Seeing Yeo mentioned a lot at this very early stage... Be aware he will be up against it to start the season on time. Been battling a bad case of OP and only doing running at the moment.

Are you sure you don't have access? I don't have SC Plus or whatever is usually required and can still access it.

Yep - I would be very wary in picking Yeo, expect him to be very carefully managed leading into the season.

 

[Beg2Differ]

That moment you realise you can’t afford all the players you loved having in your team last year...

and...

.....you can afford those that you hated having in your team last year and will now have to consider them.

 

[gutsroy]

The MID line seems the one at first blush to have the most midpriced / second-tier pricing options which could be viable - on paper.

 

[Beg2Differ]

@Beg2Differ may be able to help too, I think he knows how to scrape the data as part of the rolling teams that he runs.

I will have a look later tonight to see what I can do.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Plenty of options in the Fwd line. Not sure how I’m going to afford them all 😬

Anyone else considering Oscar McInerney at R2 with Stef Martin no longer at the lions instead of Preuss?

Round 13 bye (not the dreaded round 14 shared by Gawn/Grundy/Marshall)

Looking at his draw over the first 10 weeks, the only top quality ruck he plays against is Grundy in round 3.

Priced at $419,900, 5 100's & a 99 last season. Averaged 82.5 after averaging 67.8 the previous season.

Would be interesting to see how he has scored when Martin wasn't in the same team.

O McInerney:
Played with S Martin in Rounds 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 18
With S Martin: 70.5 from 6 (low of 38 and a high of 123, 3/6 below 50, 5/6 below 100, 1/6 120+)
Without S Martin: 89.09 from 11 (low of 30 and a high of 132, 1/11 below 50, 4/11 below 80, 7/11 below 100, 2/11 120+)

Not many VC options to start the season if you want to start that 102k R/F(Fremantle) loophole as he locks out with Gawn in the 3rd game of the round. Could just be relying on a Captain that round.
Possible VC options to start:
Grundy, Cripps, Dusty, Adams, Pendles or one of the Bulldogs mids.
