Supercoach Draft Player Discussion

makita · February 06, 2015, 02:04:09 PM

Hey guys, just wanted to start some pre season Supercoach draft chat.

Ill start with who everyone thinks can break out or regain form and get them at a good draft value (value based drafting) - most of us think gary and rockliff etc are going to be top 10 scorers and they will rightfully get drafted in the top 10 picks. i want to talk about guys who will be drafted late but can help you win your leagues and can become top 10-20 players for their position.

My early list is:

Brad Crouch (59th)
Brandon Ellis (52nd)
Levi Greenwood (63rd)

Jamie Elliot (30th)
Dale Thomas (56th)
Tom Mitchell (58th)

Chris Yarran (27th)
Harry Lumumba (42nd)

The number correlates to the position listed on standard draft boards per position.

Crouch will probably go higher anyway
Ellis could be a good get
Don't see Levi being any better

Elliot could recapture form
Thomas is my pick of this list
Mitchell, like Crouch, will go pretty highly in most leagues

There will be a lot of guys in defence who will go around 80. I wouldn't worry too much about this position personally. Fisher could be a good pick, Lumumba maybe too. Yarran could go top 20 for his position.

I'd add Devon Smith, Yeo, Lycett, Rioli?

What you might try and do it jump on the midfield DPP players like Delidio, Goddard, Martin etc

Guys that play in the mids but can sit in your fwd line. The drop off in fwd scoring from the top5 to second5 will be decent and then to the next tier bigger again.

If you can land the highest Fwd or two, the difference will be much larger than if you pick up a midfielder two rounds later.

And what you will most likely do is start a run on fwds that means you may lose very little.

I understand moving this, but it's a discussion about players, rather than leagues, right? Maybe a title change would have been more appropriate... Ah well.

Have reviewed,amended title and returned to Players thread so it fits more with what was intended. Apologies all.

If you start two rucks load up. That is always my tip, especially with the new ruck rules.

H1bb3i2d · February 06, 2015, 09:03:25 PM

I always took the rucks super early, because after the first few the scores drop way off, whereas the mids are a slow, gradual loss, even though they score more.

It will be interesting if the rucks even out a lot more at the top now. Jacobs could easily be a top 10 pick.

The top rucks generally regress which is what worries me with Sauce.

I took Cox and Jacobs the last time I did a draft (2013) and then drafted Leuenberger and Max Bailey. Getting rucks that will play is a difficult thing considering there are so few of them. This is why in a two ruck league you have to go after quite a few and you are loaded with trade bait as even the showerty ones hold decent value. Leunberger was really valuable considering that was Sauces drop off season

I think it depends on the ASADA stuff, but Ryder could also be a good pick due to DPP in both a 1 and 2 ruck league just for the versatility he provides.

You only need to field one ruck in the draft leagues this year,then grab one for the bench if you want to

I thought you could customize your league field set up? Like field 22 and have 6 bench spots etc. I had a look at the set up briefly in terms of when the season starts and finishes finals etc. (I wasn't exactly impressed) but never got past that. If that is the case I can't believe they have found a way to further water down and screw up draft leagues.
