Bully's Boys 2025

[Bully]

Not a bad week, 2140, but still find myself drifting out to the 4000 mark, that's a worry but the difference really only poor bench choices and captain's picks. I went safe with De Koning this week but that cost me several head to heads. This week I'm ditching O'Sullivan & Parker for El Hawli & Daicos. I still have a boost up the sleeve too, maybe a big play for someone like Bont or Butters.

Have you got the cash to go Butters instead of Daicos? Daicos at his price is a pretty great option, but in your position if you could get Butters in I feel like it's a greater advantage. He would be in bugger all teams and while Daicos destroyed Jordon, he has Dunkley/Berry from the Lions, Setters who tagged Oliver and possibly O'Connor when they play the Cats as well. Butters might get Jordon this week and then has a nice run until round 10 when he may see O'Connor when they play the Cats.

To do that I would need to use a boost, not sure if it's worth it, I will have a look over the course of the week.

[Bully]

Slight change of plans, I think Butters can wait with such a high BE, Horne-Francis can't really wait and picking him now effectively finishes my forward line. No boosts left but getting Parker up to Butters doable in two trades. Henderson also looks like toast so best to punt him before he loses cash or gets dropped.

[Mat0369]

I think I'd still rather Butters this week and then maybe grab Warner. He was sick in the game he was subbed out vs North and will be cheaper. It didn't look like he was initially going to get DPP but here he is.

[Bully]

I think it's better to wait a week on Butters, he has a difficult match with a BE of 146, I'd be 90% certain he will drop in price, probably 20k or thereabouts. My prediction would be a 220k upgrade on Parker who should also go up in price (BE 49).

On the other hand JHF has a 39 BE, this could be last chance saloon at a reasonable price. I much prefer him to Warner and the price difference is hardly earth shattering. Next week I will look at Tom Stewart and also a top line mid, although a discount Butters is very appealing.

With cash really difficult to come by, paying 646k on a midfielder seems excessive, I think I need to play it smart and buying low seems particularly relevant this year.

[Bully]

Should have stuck to the original plan and picked Daicos, nevermiond, this week over already.

Was working through the sub announcements, copped both subs with Gross onfield. This round is an absolute disaster, closing off the football this weekend, can't be bothered anymore.

Without a doubt one of the toughest SC seasons, I can remember.

I had about 30 seconds to reverse the Henderson to Gross trade and just benched him and let it ride. Couldn't work out how to just reverse it, modify option but no reverse option so stuck with him now.

Reid on field over Prior, Hewett on the bench.

Season of disaster after disaster.

The sub rule has killed Supercoach for the casual player, I'm ok being attentive over the weekend but during working hours it's becoming highly problematic. This round I expect to fall 10,000 spots which sucks, I also had Hewett on the bench, Gross onfield, El-Hawli in for O'Sullivan which I wouldn't have done knowingly. Just need to erase this week and focus on next week. My trades sucked this week, really wish I stuck with my original Daicos trade but I suppose I can get him this week.

Just for the record, Daicos will be around 610k, still affordable but this will be the last time for the season I would have thought.

[Colliwobblers]

The only thing I have done right all season was getting Nick and VC him this week.

As for the rest of it completely agree with you the sub rule should go to 5 on the bench this year, the clubs hate it no reason whatsoever for it to remain. Shocking way for debutants to play their first AFL game also. Nothing at all good about it. If you want fresh legs and a late game impact, don't rotate the fifth bench player on. Simple.

You're still doing great hopefully you get a good captain score and minimize the damage.

Yeah I hate the sub rule ... it got changed to tactical sub cos the original reasoning behind the sub rule was for injuries only. Then clubs exploited it when there was a quarter left and suddenly an injury happens and bring on fresh legs, then that "injured" player was fine the following week so they changed it. But yeah agree it should just be 4 or 5 on the bench with no sub ... also agree sucks to have a debut and play like 10 minutes
