Discussion Supercoach Draft Discussion

Have a draft coming up in a few days and I’m a bit torn with who to take at pick 5. It’s a 5/7/1/5 plus 4 bench draft with 10 teams.
I’m assuming Bont, Daicos and English go top 3 in some order. Weighing up if I go a ruck (Gawn, Marshall) or a mid.. where I’m stuck is what mid, as I can see potential risk with a few.
Petracca - scores worse with Oliver?
Adel boys - seems to be a few who will play mid, too many cooks?
Butters - ankle tweak in preseason game

Others I’m weighing up are Merrett, Green, Libba, LDU, Serong..

There are so many and it’s a hard call.. ideally this pick is a genuine C option so need safety

Perhaps it’s a question of who you think you end up with overall, once the good rucks are gone?

My sense would be that the gap from Gawn/Marshall to the other rucks is bigger than the gap from, say, Laird to Steele.

I think that would generally be true with positional scarcity, but it sounds like it may be even more so if you don’t see a standout mid option.

Turns out there was a late reorder and I was bumped to 7.. Gawn was still there so took him as the other likely mids were gone!

Does anyone know if the draft order is customizable? I'd like to have it replicating last year's ladder in our draft league but I'm not sure if it's possible?

Yes, absolutely.

You click and drag the names in order to move them around.

Ahhhh my bad, that wasn't working until everyone joined the league! I swear I'm technologically sound...

Did anyone else get destroyed by DPP additions screwing loopholes this weekend? I strategically had Zac Bailey up fwd with the E on Weightman 99 (fwd) and Sanders 15 (mid) all weekend Weightman was rightfully showing as my scoring player only for Sanders DPP to show up maybe 20 minutes after the conclusion of final game, he ended up subbing into fwd position as the lowest of the 2 scorers. Ended up losing because of this which seems totally cooked.

I don’t think emergencies work like that in Draft. Nothing to do with DPP additions I don’t believe.

That’s only relevant for teams in league with auto emergency settings. Not mine, subs work as normal by position.

 

[Bonaparte]

That is ridiculous, did you email them? That DPP wasn't in play for round 6!

Random draft question really... any thoughts on Jy Simpkin? Available as a fwd, back from injury, and some positional reshuffles at North since he went out.

No idea why his scoring has been so much poorer this yr and if that's likely to change. He obviously had the pre season concussion which could have impacted him early.

North fans?
