Position General Discussion

Bit of a gem from Bob Murphy on sledgers ripped from a Hun article. Everyone loves a good sledge.

1. BEN HUDSON

Coming in at No. 1 is the four-club ruckman who spent four seasons at the Bulldogs from 2008-11, giving Murphy a front-row seat to his constant sledging.

“Ben Hudson was the greatest sledger I ever played with,” Murphy said.

“We played Richmond one night and Ben was prolific, he was constant and pretty harsh, and he picked on some young Richmond kid, who shall remain nameless ... about being ugly, basically.

“He just kept at him and at him and within earshot of me and the umpire Huddo said, ‘Mate you’re so ugly, you’re almost as ugly as Murph’.

“The Richmond player looked at me, I looked at him, the umpire looked at both of us and we all started laughing, it was a bit of a fiasco.”

Have been looking around for scores from last years NAB cup and come across an amazing thread by @KLo30
Which has great information from everyone's pre season last year, thought a few people may find it handy to see if a player has previously good in pre season but just did not back it in the real stuff. Jake Lloyd in and interesting one, averaged 97 across 3 games. Recommend you check it out http://www.supercoachscores.com/threads/2929-NAB-Challenge-Statistical-Summary-(2016)

Great bump mate. Gee Doch averaged 64 in the NAB and had one of the biggest breakouts!
Zerrett also slightly low key with 98.

Anyone having issues on full SC site using iPhone?

I can't select anything, get a drop down on player when selected but can't S/T/E/V/C anything.

Menadue averaged 80 in the JLT last year. JLT no guarantee

Pretty funny stuff. I reckon he had to hold a few back as they probably weren't suitable for the general public's consumption.

Stevie J strikes me as one that would be a good sledger. Dangerfield as well although he seems a little too humble to be really harsh and egotistical.

Is anyone having trouble with using SC on their phone browser? I have been trying to use the "Trade" button and it isn't working (neither are the other C, VC and S buttons). I've never had this problem before and was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue.

Same issue on my ipad.

I've got my draft tomorrow night, better bloody work!

 

[IDIG]

Anyone also noticed that on the app, once you makes changes and save your team, the remaining salary does not reflect the new amount but keeps the old. Very annoying!

Yeh, even with a refresh it doesn't work. You have to trade out and trade back in said player... DUMB!

So, I sent my request for help and I have just received a reply which stated that this should be working now as normal.
I checked and it seems to be ok.
I'm not sure if they did a specific fix for me only or whether it was something which applied to everyone.
I suggest you check and if you still have problems then send a specific enquiry to get your problem attended to.
I hope this helps.

 

[Nathan]

All good now.

Cheers Bob!
