SUPERCOACH - PALGN league

[sobriquet835]

AH right, fuck it. Double post. Anyway, all y'all who have joined Supercoach should join Supertipping as well. I've called this private league Rocket League because PalGN won't likely be around much longer.

League code:739369

No rocket clock?

All right gents, the league is coming along nicely, but plenty of spots still available for all you lurkers.

I recently had a nice PM chat with the reigning champ and unseen-mod Cerebral. He is keen to go back to back this year, so I hope you've all bought your A game. As a special treat, here are a few thoughts about supercoach in 2012 from the man him self:


JP: First off, who do you barrack for and how many years have you been a supercoach?

I've been a Blues supporter since '95 - total bandwagoner (give me a break, I was 7), but I did stick it out during the dark days of questionable pay practices, abysmal on field performances, and Cain Ackland. This will be my 3rd year as a supercoach - I'd like to think last year was my breakout year.

JP: What are you general tactics when you select a starting lineup? Do you go for the 'must have player' to score big points, or are you focused on value for money?

With GWS, it will be easy to pick rookies who will play and earn a ton of cash early - so I figure I can probably afford a few more premium players in my starting lineup. That said, it's very likely GWS will get flogged a lot, so I'll be more careful and not load up on rookies who will eventually get dropped or rotated like I did with GCS last year.

JP: Who do you think will be the must have players this year?
Ablett and Murphy will be in a stack of teams. Pendlebury is just too expensive at the moment, but Swan is still a reasonable price. Any of the token rookie GWS midfielders (Coniglio, Tyson or Hoskin-Eliott).

JP: Got your eye on any young players who you think will explode this year?
Ahmed Saad, Dustin Martin (if he hasn't exploded already) and Zach Tuohy, who showed immense talent in the latter half of the season last year (while making Mitch Robinson look silly in the International Rules tests).

JP: Last year Fly made a complete team which had penis/bottom related names. This year he is only choosing redheads. Will any bloodnuts be making it into your team?
Goddard's flying solo, sadly.

JP: If you could bang anyone in the current AFL playing list who would it be?
I'd put lipstick on Luke Dahlhaus and pretend he's Jamaican.

I've been away for 2 weeks - plus I'm lazy - so I didn't have time to join before, but HERE I AM. TO ROCK [THIS LEAGUE] LIKE A HURRICANE.

I needed a gimmick to hide how shit I am at this, so, inspired by the recruiting team at GWS, I decided to raid the oldest players in the AFL. Turns out they're all rather expensive, though, so I propped up the list with the oldest mature age rookies I could find. Naturally, as the oldest bloke running around the field, Dustin Fletcher gets captaincy and his second in command is the second oldest, James McDonald, gets the vice.

Ladies and gentleman, get your Werther's Originals ready... its 2feet in the grave (damn character limits)
