Round 14 SuperCoach scores and late mail

Win, lose or draw, there are some players who just deliver in SuperCoach. Collingwood and Western Bulldogs are among the most fruitful clubs and they did not disappoint, with Brodie Grundy producing a monster. SEE EVERY SCORE

It would seem unfathomable, but there are still almost 100,000 SuperCoaches who do not own Collingwood megastar ruckman Brodie Grundy.

And that means they’ve missed out on his highest ever career score he churned out against the Bombers.

After just 81 in Round 1, plenty of SuperCoaches dumped the towering tap machine, but, since then, he’s scored 11 tons from his past 12 games — his worst an 84 before the bye.

What better way to bounce back with more than double his score 174.

Talk about well-rested.

TIME TO TRADE MARTY HORE?

Marty Hore had long been shaping as the last ‘luxury’ trade SuperCoaches would make before finals.

Still in 91,900 teams, Hore was averaging 87.6 before he scored 49 on Saturday during Melbourne’s victory over Fremantle.

With a break even of 39 heading into Round 14, he still make money despite his worst total since Round 1.

If you can turn him into a defensive premium such as Tom Stewart or Shannon Hurn this week after his break even jumps, it might be hard to resist.

But remember he scored 116 and 94 in the two matches before Saturday’s total, so there is a strong case to be made for showing patience.

If you have bigger issues than a defender still likely to average 80 for the rest of the year, fix those first before trading the young Demon.

NERVOUS WAIT AHEAD FOR COACHES WITH IN-FORM WALTERS

It will be a nervous few days for Michael Walters owners after the in-form Fremantle forward was reported for headbutting during Saturday’s game against Melbourne.

Walters, who has scored 110, 127 and 158 in the past three weeks, will come under scrutiny from match review officer Michael Christian after he was reported when a spotfire broke out in the third quarter.

A $539,500 SuperCoach mid-forward, Walters was traded into thousands of teams this week after his heroics against Port Adelaide.

If you don’t have cover, you’ll have a big issue on your hands if he’s rubbed out for Round 15.

CLARKO FLAGS END OF SICILY’S FORWARD EXPERIMENT

What are you doing, Clarko?

In a bid to find a way to kick a winning score, Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson has turned to gun defender James Sicily.

It hasn’t worked on the field and it definitely hasn’t worked for SuperCoaches.

After scraping over the line for 87 last round thanks to a late swing back into defence, the Italian Stallion — in more than 45,000 SuperCoach teams — had just eight disposals on the way to a shocking 40 points in last night’s loss to Sydney.

At almost $500,000, that’s simply not good enough for SuperCoaches.

But there is a silver lining.

Clarkson has acknowledged the experiment hasn’t worked.

“We need to work out a way to score a little bit better — The Sicily experiment hasn’t worked for us so far, so we need to decide what we do there,” Clarkson said.

Here’s an idea, Al, park him in defence and watch him intercept mark, rebound and use that booming boot to rack up the SuperCoach scores.

Signed — 45,000 SuperCoaches.

WESTERN BULLDOGS V COLLINGWOOD

No late changes

Heroes: Brodie Grundy, Brodie Grundy and Brodie Grundy. A monstrous 174 represents the highest SuperCoach score of his career. If you didn’t start with him, or you traded him after his sub-ton in Round 1, here’s a tough learning experience. Adam Treloar (117) continued his two-match resurgence while Jack Crisp rewarded those who held onto him in defence with his first triple figure score since Round 5. Bulldog premos Jack Macrae (148), Caleb Daniel (114), Marcus Bontempelli (109) and Josh Dunkley (101) all rewarded SuperCoaches with tons.

Villains: Pies captain Scott Pendlebury looked like he was SuperCoach relevant again with back-to-back scores of 146 and 135, but those who snapped him up won’t be happy with his 71 that followed 67 against the Dees before the bye. Darcy Moore managed just 64 and if you haven’t traded him yet, it really is time. The Dogs lost, but it’s hard to find a villain who was SuperCoach relevant. Bailey Smith only had 36, so that will hurt his 15,000 owners and If you wanted to be critical, Dunkley just scraped in his ton after 173 last week and three-round average of 140, but anything over three figures is gravy.

PORT ADELAIDE V GEELONG

No late changes

Heroes: The No.1 ruck role clearly sits well with Scott Lycett, who put in a best on ground performance against the Cats and scored a massive 180 SuperCoach points. Travis Boak (118 points) was a popular trade-in target this week and he didn’t disappoint, notching up his 10th ton of the season, while those who’ve taken a punt on cut-price Robbie Gray (116 points) would be laughing. SuperCoaches who still have Connor Rozee will be ecstatic with his 96 points. Fresh off the birth of his daughter, Felicity, Patrick Dangerfield was Geelong’s best with 141 points, while Mitch Duncan (121) is having his best SuperCoach season. Gary Ablett also got to triple figures, while those who brought Tom Stewart into their defence were rewarded with 96 points. Tom Atkins had a big second half to finish with 84 points.

Villains: Tim Kelly copped some close attention and didn’t have his best game, managing just 76 points in Geelong’s loss. Ollie Wines’ impact around the midfield didn’t quite translate into SuperCoach points, scoring just 61. Tom Hawkins managed just 24 points, a poor return for a player who’ll set you back $511,500.

ST KILDA V BRISBANE LIONS

No late changes

Heroes: The expectation won’t go away that Rowan Marshall will slow down at some point during his first full season as an AFL ruckman. But the breakthrough Saint keeps delivering and has scored 139, 122 and 119 in his past three games. He is shaping as a top-six SuperCoach forward come season’s end. His fellow ruckman Stefan Martin (130) was influential, while Dayne Zorko (117) and Daniel Rich (113) were outstanding. Rich is having a career-best campaign.

Villains: If you held Noah Answerth (38) through his bye, it’s time to start making plans to move on the rookie Lion. He’s scored 33 ands 38 in his past two games and only just met his break even of 37 on Saturday. Lachie Neale only managed 79 for those who jumped on after his Round 13 bye, but there’ll be big numbers on their way soon.

MELBOURNE v FREMANTLE

No late changes

Heroes: Is there a more reliable vice-captain or captain than Max Gawn? The Demons ruckman scored his third consecutive 150+ on Saturday and his fifth score of 144 or better. If you didn’t take him as captain or vice-captain, you’re going to be a long way behind most coaches who did. Tom McDonald was back to his best with 135, while Clayton Oliver spent a lot of time off the ground but still racked up 114 points. Angus Brayshaw rewarded those who took a punt on him with 101 and you’ll be smiling if you still have Jay Lockhart after his 108.

Villains: You’ve got a big call to make this week if you have Marty Hore. His 49 on Saturday was his worst of the season and the only time he has scored below 60 since Round 1. After two hundreds from Fremantle rookie Griffin Logue, it will be tough to resist cashing in on Hore and trading him to the Docker. It’s not ideal when many coaches had Hore pencilled in as a defensive keeper.

SYDNEY v HAWTHORN

No late changes.

Heroes: Midfield beast Luke Parker (138) continues to churn out the big scores and is the third-most expensive playing midfielder right now (Tom Mitchell is out for the season). Did anyone hold onto Callum Mills? After a horror start to the season, Mills now has scores of 100, 65, 94 and now 132 in the past month. Cheapie Nick Blakey (76) had his highest score of the season and will kickstart another price rise for those who are yet to cash him in. Ricky Henderson (119) looks like a 60-year-old but is playing like a 22-year-old, scurrying up and down the wing in a new role that has made him a SuperCoach monster. Started the season under $450k and is averaging better than 105 on the back of eight tons from 13 games. He’s only in just over 5000 teams and with a five-round average of 110, he offers POD low-end premium scoring in the run home at a tick over $500k.

Villains: We’ve already talked about Sicily, but you can take your pick from the Hawks, with only the aforementioned Henderson reaching triple figures. Popular mid/fwd James Worpel had his second-lowest score of the season (71), ruckman Ben McEvoy scored just 55 and all of Shaun Burgoyne (42), Tom Scully (42) and Paul Puopolo (41) had stinkers. Feels a bit wrong to do it, but poor old Lance Franklin is a spent force in SuperCoach. Booted four goals, but managed just 52 points, before injuring his hamstring late in the match. Josh Kennedy returned to the team for his first game in a month but managed only 77. We’ll give him a mulligan next week.

WEST COAST v ESSENDON

No late changes.

Five West Coast players churned out SuperCoach triple figures among 13 Eagles who went better than 80 in the demolition job of Essendon.

By contrast, the Dons had 14 players with 79 or less in a dirty day for those with Bombers in the SuperCoach teams.

Heroes : Eagles guns Elliot Yeo (142) and Luke Shuey (122) banged out tons with interest, but mid-priced Grand Final hero Dom Sheed took the chocolates with a mammoth 148 — a reminder that he’s available for under $500k. Debutant Jarrod Cameron gave rise to SuperCoach cheapie hopes, producing a crisp 69. One to watch in a fortnight. Not much to get excited about for the Bombers, but on-the-bubble rookie Dylan Clarke’s 59 will give him a nice bump in price.

Villains: Dylan Shiel (97) failed to crack the ton for the sixth time in seven games, but it was better than the 68 and 61 he’s managed in the past two weeks. Orazio Fantasia scored just 19 … ouch! If you held onto Jack Petrucelle, his 59 was two short of his break even.
