You've fallen for the SC Gold 2008 blackhole trick.
For some reason SC Gold never EVER has 2008 stats. Perhaps SC was run by someone else for that one year? If not I don't know why it happens!
Selwood played 21 games at 98.2 in 2008.
The best players do overcome "2nd year blues", but just keep in mind, one: it's more about development time than blues, and two: there will be very few exceptions, as 99% of players that play 5 or more games in their first year, have a second year*!
*That stat is totally made up, off the top of my head, just using logic.

Just wanted to say, there's some very captivating and seriously (SERIOUSLY) in-depth SuperCoach discussion that goes on around here! Some of the SuperCoach statistical analysis is world class, and I feel I am privileged to bare witness to all these goodies while I am trying to set up my team for 2014. It's a treat to be able to process and absorb all this intriguingly intelligent information from some seriously clever people!
Anyway, I know it's very off topic, just wanted to pass on the praise that you absolutely deserve, SuperCoach Scores.
The only forum I bother to have a read of these days!

Hey Rowsus,
Out of curiosity do you look at the spending breakdown for each line when you evaluate your team? I had a thought when re-jigging my team today that maybe there is a too much/too little amount when doing each group of positions. While it does depend on the position of the highly rated rookies it could be a case of 'need to spend more than $2.5 mill in defence (or forward)' or a cap that you would want to go over (say never go to $2.75 mill in back/forwards). Probably wouldn't be anything profound but could be interesting if past successful teams throw up a similar pattern?

Hey Krieks,
it's not generally something I look at. Once you have picked the best Rookies, your 2 Captain picks, and the best priced Keepers you can find with an eye on the bye rounds and keeping at least a slightly balanced team, the rest looks after itself. I don't think you need to add another pressure element, by constraining a certain area to "no more than this much". If you follow something similar to the above, and you're happy with your team, just let the chips fall where they may.

Hi Rowsus,
Got a quick one about Chad Wingard, do you think he will be a top 6 FWD come the years end and what do you think he will average???
I am favouring him over my previous F4 in Zorko atm and think that his price is irrelevant if he finished in the top 6. The $$$ I would save in going for a cheaper option is not too much of a worry as I am very happy with mother lines at the moment and think I'll find sufficient rookies in all positions.
Cheers Goodie.

Hmmm.... interesting that you know that RAMP exists, but don't know how to get a copy???!!!
How did that come about?
Follow this link, RAMP Score and Price Predictor, and read the bottom of post #1.

The problem is, you are assuming he get's through 4 or 5 games before disaster strikes. What if he doesn't? Given his history, there is a more than reasonable chance he'll miss a game in the first 5 rounds, and without cover it's a poor quality trade or a donut.
As Footyrulz points out in his thread, The ruck/forward saga, it's not just Sandi that needs cover, as not many good Rucks play 22 games. He's just an obvious example because of a) his history and b) his popularity this year.
Imagine getting caught needing to sideways trade Sandi after 2 or 3 rounds? Who could you get that isn't going to be a poor replacement at his price? I think if you have Sandi you would be taking too big of a risk, if you don't have cover or a good exit plan. As Footyrulz says, that could apply to most Rucks, but with the people like Sandi, Dawson and HMac, you are more likely to be saying "Damn it! I should have known I needed cover!"
