SUPERCOACH- the black book

[saintjake]

like most of you, the supercoach little black book aired some ideas and players i had hoped not many people would choose
ala higgins, haslby and spoke about the importance of rookies.
i was just wondering if anyone else has any other tips for the saintsational family?
any other bargins?
i want to see a saintsational member take it home this year
or get in the top 10 it would be awesome!

mine are
dangerfield
rance
davenport
hill
swift
higgins and
alwyn davey
ive been lookng for the cheap bargins, who are bound to go up in price.

LETS GO SAINTSATIONAL!

[goodie]

Just a couple of tips, not giving away everything

Backs:
Ryan Schoenmakers (Haw)
Best value Saint - Jarryn Geary

Mids:
Jordan Lewis (Haw)
Best value Saint - Jack Steven

Ruck:
Mike Pyke (Syd)
Best value Saint - Ben McEvoy

Forward:
Trent Hentschel (Adel)
Best value Saint - Nick Heyne

[saintjake]

will Schoenmakers get a game at hawthorn?
lewis is still expensive.
pyke is a good pick from what ive read
henshel is a real risk.
how many knee reco's is he comming from?

[mightysainters]

Hentschel? No thanks terrible will hardly get a gig

Schoemakers might be given a crack given their lack of depth down back, especially if Croad's comeback is delayed. I suspect he or Lisle will be given a shot.

Lewis is a gut feeling pick. Taken at 7 in the draft after Buddy and Roughead, I think he'll step up this year.

Pyke's a decent gamble, and cheap to boot. Sydney only have one bonafide ruckman, so I suspect at least one Swan ruck will rise dramatically in value.

Hentschel has only had one knee reco, but had a few niggling injuries last year.

[kickittokosi!!!!]

i'm not in the saintsational league so i'm happen to discuss who i think are bargain players:

From my team:
Backs:
D Wojinski (Geelong) $367,700
M Maguire (Saints) $162,900

Mids:
T Swift (Eagles) $94,000
D Kerr (Eagles) $482,100

Rucks:
H Macintosh (Roos) $335,500
B McEvoy (Saints) $150,000

Forwards:
S Higgins* (Dogs) $223,400 *Note = Is it correct he is in the Dogs leadership group???
S Gumbleton (Ess) $94,000

They're some players in my team... other 'value' players (IMO) i would like to fit in include...
Dangerfield (Adel)
Vespremi (Syd)
McVeigh (Ess)
J Anthony (Coll)
L Hanson - maybe (Roos)

I'll probably change my team about 100 times before round 1, but there you go.

[Moorabbin Saints]

My mates dad owns a newsagency and he got me one. Will be reading and updating my team accordingly.

[saintjake]

i believe mitch thrope will be given first crack before Schoemakers
im not in the saintsational league either.

i couldnt get in

The black book suggested in the "buy 'em" section Daniel Currie at $94,200 is a good ruck choice

The Sydney ruck division is interesting. They've been tinkering with moving White to a KP spot, which would open the door for either Currie or one of the rookie list rucks. Sydney can elevate a rookie whenever they like with Kennelly gone. Pyke would surprise me though. AFAIK, he's never played an organised game of football anywhere ever.

I reckon Pyke'll play a few games this year. He's already got the build, mature age and a bit of speed to him.

He's in the Swans squad for Sunday, know more after that

[SainterK]

What does everything think of Jack Ziebell after tonight, would he be a good pickup?

[vacuous space]

Same as before, really. I'm not sure he'll play, but if he does, you could do a lot worse for a cash cow.

No they can't. Kennelley isn't injured, thus can't be put on the LTI list. However Leo Barry is injured, paving the way to upgrade a rookie for the first few weeks...

[saint66au]

saintjake...Jack Watts will be doing his year 12 this year and is not expected to play any senior footy AFAIK

[henno]

patty dangerfield may be a good choice

sam blease will probably play for melbourne this year

scott lucas FTW and also jed adock!

[vacuous space]

You're right. I forgot about that. What about Fosdike? He retired because of injury problems. Can he be replaced on the senior list?

[skeptic]

I'm pretty happy with my team but I'm querying a few players

what do you guys think of

Def
Raph Clarke (St.K) $369500
Alex Rance (Rich) $94000
Paddy Ryder (Ess) $338900

Mids
Jack Stevens (St.K) $94000
Nick Fosdike (Syd) $210000

Ruck
Hamish McIntosh (NM) $335300
Brad Ottens (Geel) $395100

Forwards
Kurt Tippet (Adel) $282600
Adam Schnieder (St.K) $391700

Most of those guys have huge potential upsides, who's worth the risk?

[vacuous space]

Def
Raph Clarke (St.K) $369500
Alex Rance (Rich) $94000
Paddy Ryder (Ess) $338900

If Raph brings his late 08 form, he'll be a good one to have. Ryder doesn't score very well from CHB. He tends to play shut down roles and doesn't find a lot of footy himself. Rance isn't looking likely so far.

Mids
Jack Stevens (St.K) $94000
Nick Fosdike (Syd) $210000

Fosdike has retired, so that's a non-starter. Steven's a good cash cow if he plays.We'll see on that one though. A lot of competition for spots.

Ruck
Hamish McIntosh (NM) $335300
Brad Ottens (Geel) $395100

Either one is fine as your other ruck if they're healthy.

Forwards
Kurt Tippet (Adel) $282600
Adam Schnieder (St.K) $391700

Tippett hasn't shown a lot of scoring potential. He did well as a cash cow last year. I didn't see much to suggest he'd be much of a scorer either as a forward or a ruck though. Doesn't get much footy. Schneider is like a lot of small forward - puts up the odd big game and then disappears for a while. I'd want to see him pushing up the ground more before I'd consider him.

[goodie]

Just my opinion

Def
Raph Clarke (St.K) $369500 No
Alex Rance (Rich) $94000 Yes
Paddy Ryder (Ess) $338900 No

Mids
Jack Stevens (St.K) $94000 Maybe
Nick Fosdike (Syd) $210000 Yes

Ruck
Hamish McIntosh (NM) $335300 Yes
Brad Ottens (Geel) $395100 Yes

Forwards
Kurt Tippet (Adel) $282600 Yes
Adam Schnieder (St.K) $391700No

I got burned with Ryder last year. Steven is a good kid, but I don't know how many games he'll get this year. We've got a lot of players fighting for the last few spots

[esaint66]

Callan Ward and/or Micheal Hurley are cheap and will play a majority of the 09 season and both can win ball and if you play supercoach they are accurate kicks.

[vacuous space]

I reckon Pyke'll play a few games this year. He's already got the build, mature age and a bit of speed to him.

He's in the Swans squad for Sunday, know more after that

He looks a long way off right now.
