I played supercoach for the first time last year and had a blast. Looking forward to being more prepared this year and would love some tips on improving my team.

Actually a pretty good team for the most part.

Get rid of Menzel for O'Meara, he's a must have. Also ditch Colquhoun for another mid rookie like Jesse Lonergan.

How much do you have left in the bank?

Josha53 · February 19, 2013, 07:18:15 PM

I have $130,000 left over at the moment. Are dual position players not worth it this year? Kinda the only reason I had those two blokes in my team.

Honestly, I don't really care for DPPs too much. You're probably better off getting either a cheaper backline rookie, midpricer or an underpriced player in the backline over Vlastuin. Maybe look at someone like Jake Neade instead of Kristian Jaksch up forward. Also maybe ditch one of your premium mids to beef up either the backline or forward line with an extra premium.

Namaste,

Love your team's name!

Maybe upgrade Vlastuin to Yarran.

Too strong in mids - 5 guns at most or even 4 1/2 - allows more $$$ making rookies.

Rucks - OK - prefer others to Goldy but a lot like him at that price.

Get Cox as a fwd and put Rowe or equiv at R4 to cover Leue.

Looks good.

Cheers

Def: Solid 3 Premiums is a good strategy i would look at replacin Pittard with Stevenson
Mid: Too Strong would go Priddis to O'meara & Murphy to Pendlebury Menzel to K.Mittchell
Rucks: Standard
Fwds:Very Light so to improve your for fwds Stringer to Hawkins & Jaksch to Byrnes

Overall team only needs minor changes give it a 7.5/10

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the feedback. I'm going to do some tinkering now.

Keeper27 · February 20, 2013, 02:11:18 PM

great team, mids was fine till i seen your fwd line. super weak.
change priddis to a fwd premo and your team will be a lot more balanced.

love the team name. The League is a pissa.

Vlastuin more than likely to get vested.

Josha53 · February 20, 2013, 02:34:20 PM

Ok so here is my second draft. Loving the feedback. I'm feeling pretty good about the lineup now

Yes Keeper27 the league is a great show. I love it.

Keeper27 · February 20, 2013, 02:53:11 PM

much more evenly balanced team.
nice line up

nightwalker_1310au · February 20, 2013, 04:06:42 PM

Much more evenly balanced mate. Only concern is maybe you could upgrade with remainder money in backline or add a smokey somewhere by downgrading Cotchin to jack and then downgrading franklin to Johnson. Other then that team rating I give is 7.9/10. Can you rate my one as well. Thanks

tor01doc · February 20, 2013, 04:14:01 PM

Who would you rather

Buddy and Cotchin and a good rookie OR SJ and Jack and a mid priced spud?

I am looking forward to starting Buddy and Ablett. Talk about POD!!

johnnytheboy1 · February 20, 2013, 04:19:56 PM

Def: Has Improved with the inclusion of Yarran
Mids: Much Better Balance 5 Premiums is Perfect.
Rucks Standard may replace one of Witts or Currie with Rowe to take advantage of the DPP and not waste a trade
Fwds: Improvement here too with the inclusion of Cox

Overall Vastly improved team which if you include Luey has 14 Premiums 9/10

Josha53 · February 21, 2013, 11:12:53 AM

Thanks a lot for the help guys. I'm really happy with my line up now. All I need now is for none of the blokes I have picked to get injured in the next 4 weeks haha.
