Supercoach 2023

Finals are going to be potluck.

There is already some talk of Butters and Laird being out this week. So when it comes to finals it might just end up who can dodge the most bullets.

This week was amazingly luck related. Those who had held Gawn and also had English were immediately 250 points up (ignoring captaincy) on those with the Darcy Marshall combo. And thereā€™s nothing within the way people play the game across a year that should make either combo more desirable than the other.

Add that to say a Houston/Libba vs Sicily/Merrett which is another 200 points.

On any given week you can have these massive swings while making seemingly good decisions. I think the key is to assess your decisions rather than the scores and just hope for luck. I have made probably half a dozen bad decisions over the course of the year which mean that I havenā€™t got as good a team as I would like. But I also copped some things that have just been bad luck. The decision to trade Stewart at Rd 1, or to hold Oliver for 4 weeks were reasonable decisions with the info as it was available, even if they were both wrong!

So true. But no one has Gawn do they?

I held off getting Sicily and it looks like itā€™s going to pay off. He might be affordable in 2 weeks.

Not many, but a few had him (bought him cheap) with the expectation that theyā€™d be able to move him forward when DPs updated, and were almost ā€œstuckā€ with him as they tried to fix other issues. Even though heā€™d been down his 5 round average was approx 100.

I also avoided Sicily. Mainly because I dislike him! :slight_smile:

I have Ziebell and Greenā€¦what to do!

4v5. Match of the round. Will go to the wire. Or depend on captaincy choices.

Is expected back, Bomb Squad has him also though.

Youā€™ve got Matty Robertā€™s also whoā€™d have to be chance to return for Swans, had 28 and 7 tackles in 2ā€™s

Getting Dunks back allows me to loop my cover for Green between a few players. Roberts would certainly be a big in as well.

Dredge anything up from the bottom?

Or you going to be running some donuts?

Iā€™ve got a full team plus bench cover everywhere bar ruck!

Iā€™ve got coverage so no donuts. Dcam and Dunks back helped.
Laird out didnā€™t help and Iā€™ve still got Green. So two premos down.

Not great coverage but some at least!

Got me by a smidge, 35points courtesy of the final game with your Saints scores

One of which nearly didnā€™t happen

Fkn Tom Mitchell 30 only being subbed out cost me victory!

In any case kudos to you Red.
