You wanna bet? Porplyzia and Monfries are basically 300k Centres themselves. Brennan, Kozzie, Harley and Hunter can all bring in the same as 200-400k centres. Trust me Tippaz, I know alot more about Footy than you, just because you think dreamteam whenever you see a football game, doesn't mean that you know everything.

Should any of the centre players for me breakdown, I shall trade them if they sustain a long injury, if not, I have capable backup in Gibbs, who would outweight Murphy already. Geez Tippaz, you REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY need to do some research into Supercoach, I remember you coming about 8th last year, and struggled.

I know what I am doing, and my team is already beating you.

Just looked @ the stats and averages from last year. So far I lead you by 170, thats without taking into account Kozi and I have a missing player in Hudson who did not play last year.

I cover your backline for less price, (taking into account the rise of Harley this year and Brennan), I cover your midfield EASILY for more price I admit, but its by 180 average. Your rucks, well you have me beat because Hudson is a no go at the moment int erms of what will he score but I'm willing to gamble. Forwards, I again have you beat, with porplyzias rise in stock expected this year, I do have you covered comfortably.

No one cares how good you think your team is Brades

My team ATM:

B: Goddard, Corey Jones, Raines, Brett Jones, Birchall, Waters, Ted Richards (Lachlan Hansen, Ellis)
M: Judd, Bruce, Kerr, Marc Murphy, Priddis, Hodge, (Gibbs, Joel Selwood)
R: Cox, Sandilands (McIntosh, Darcy)
F: Chapman, Embley, Lynch, Rob Murphy, Franklin, Jetta, Alwyn Davey, (Kennedy, Hawkins)

$100 left to spare...

I stunk at SC last year so I need some help in getting a decent team to start with...

Hey Rav welcome back. My main concern if I had your team would be Hawkins, Jetta and Davey. Davey will most likely lineup in round 1 Jetta unlikely IMO and I havent seen much of Hawkins yet so Geelong may be taking it slow with him and pushing Nathan Ablett!

Hall and Brown are worth every bit of their price tag IMO they dominated the SC Forward scoring lats year til Brown was injured both averaging 150+ pts so capable captains. I hadnt decided on starting Darcy or Hudson actually just wrote it up that way. Darcy doesnt have to play ruck to be a handy pickup with his low price same as Kosi not needing to play Back

Brades, you reckon i don't know SC

Do i have to remind you about rattling off 22 consecutive "TEAM OF THE WEEKS" based on Champion Data Rankings?

You shouldn't be comparing your players with last year's stats, especially with my players, since mine are forecast to improve dramatically. But apart from all that, i have already told you i will be spending every cent before the start of the season. I'm not going to leave it like that. It's just a guide. I want to leave the big names til last.
I discovered lots of useful things from those 'team of the weeks' last year. Here are a few examples:
- CD scores can oscillate very heavily, and almost every player will have 1 dramtically big game (sometimes reaching triple their average)
- most full-backs, centre-half-backs, and taggers (anyone who locks down on an opponent) don't score any points
- midfielders are generally the best pointscorers, and tend to score more consistently
- key forwards also perform extremely well, but tend to be inconsistent
- sharp kicking defenders are very good also, and tend be to very consistent
- ruckman need to find the footy around-the-ground (like Dean Cox and Troy Simmonds) in order to produce good scores

If you think you can find some decent midfield-type players amongst the backs and forwards, well done.
But there will always be more quality in the centres because they are the best pointscorers.
The best CD improvement will come from players taking on greater roles such as Jobe Watson or James McDonald (last year).

Teams of the week that mean absolutely nothing? No you don't need to remind me of that.

Why shouldn't I? I've taken into account the score they got last year plus a weighting to which players will improve. Considering the players you have the are going to improve, are in my team, I'd say that I still have it over you.

Trust me Tippaz, I'm never wrong. Your team is.. awful.
