SuperCoach late mail: Patrick Cripps kept to 12 disposals, Tom Rockliff reported for tripping, Zac Williams injured

Patrick Cripps had scored the second most SuperCoach points in the competition before he faced Matt de Boer. The super stopper kept the Blues star to his lowest score since Round 11, 2018. EVERY ROUND 9 SCORE

Tom Rockliff has been reported for tripping.

More than 120,000 SuperCoaches have felt the wrath of super stopper Matt de Boer.

His assignment in Round 9 was Patrick Cripps and he passed with flying colours, keeping the contested beast to just 12 disposals and 65 SuperCoach points - his lowest score since Round 11, 2018.

Fortunately, the Carlton skipper hit the target with all of his possessions in his side’s thumping 93 point-loss.

He certainly wasn’t the only Blue to have a down day, with popular SuperCoach cash cows Will Setterfield (28 points) and Michael Gibbons (29) struggling throughout.

On the other side of the ledger, Lachie Whitifield flourished in his return from injury, amassing 40 disposals, 18 marks, three goals and 170 SuperCoach points in one of the most dominant individual displays of the season.

ROCKLIFF REPORTED

More than 60,000 SuperCoaches have a nervous wait ahead of them after popular midfielder Tom Rockliff was reported for tripping Gold Coast’s Anthony Miles.

The ball-magnet stuck his leg out as Miles collected the footy in congestion, with the umpire reporting Rockliff on the spot.

Miles took the free kick and played out the game with no injury concerns.

It wasn’t a signifcant trip, but the 29-year-old may have a case to answer for with the Match Review Officer.

Rockliff lifted from that point on, posting 103 SuperCoach points from 30 disposals.

Tom Rockliff was reported for tripping against the Suns.

ZAC WILLIAMS INJURY

SuperCoach gun Zac Williams suffered a hamstring injury in the first half. The running defender went off the ground in the hands of trainers in the second term and returned to the ground, before being taken off later in the quarter.

He was sighted in a tracksuit after half time, with coach Leon Cameron saying post-game that it was “just tightness”.

Williams was on fire before his injury, racking up 12 touches at 75 per cent efficiency.

HATELY PLAYS NEAFL

SuperCoaches hoping for a late reprieve for unlucky bubble boy Jackson Hately were left disappointed after the youngster lined up for the Giants’ NEAFL side this afternoon.

Considering the fortunes of fellow cash cow Charlie Constable over the past fortnight - a late inclusion for the Cats in their past two matches - many coaches were hoping for similar circumstances for Hately.

However, any hope of a recall subsided when optimistic SuperCoaches saw his name among the list for the NEAFL Giants’ clash with the Southport Sharks.

Looks like Hately will run around in the 2nds today #supercoach pic.twitter.com/krXXemlgsO

Hately was one of a host of ins on Thursday night in an extended squad but was pushed out again on Friday when the full 22 was named.

Other dedicated coaches were looking to take the punt on him late to get ahead of the pack, considering bringing in the midfielder when few had the chance.

He is currently sitting in more than 23,000 SuperCoach teams, with almost 10,000 people trading in the 18-year-old despite being named as an emergency.

The young gun has averaged 90 SuperCoach points across his two games, and will be in high demand once he plays his third game - whenever that may be.

THE UNDERRATED CAT

Geelong has a line-up of SuperCoach stars, but there’s one player who is continually — and criminally — overlooked.

Mitch Duncan scored 144 against the Bulldogs, way ahead of teammates like Patrick Dangerfield and Tim Kelly. But despite a stellar scoring history he’s in just 1 per cent of teams, compared to Dangerfield’s 68 per cent and Kelly’s 44 per cent. Even Darcy Fort is in 16 per cent of sides.

FRIDAY FORECAST: WHAT WE WANT TO SEE IN ROUND 9

MONEYBALL: ARE CLUB’S PUT OFF BY PRISON PAST?

CONSTABLE’S WILD RIDE CONTINUES

Charlie Constable might think he’s suffering from deja vu.

A week ago he was surprisingly dropped by the Cats but played against North Melbourne as a late inclusion for Joel Selwood.

This week it happened again — Constable was left out of the Cats team at selection last night, but played after the Cats made another late change, with Tom Atkins (himself in 56,000 teams) ruled out.

The roundabout might have got to Constable, who managed only 61 points against the Dogs.

There was another blow on Friday for the 28,000 SuperCoach players with Matt Crouch in their teams.

He was named by the Crows last night but failed a fitness test and has pulled out of the game against Brisbane. His place was taken by Bryce Gibbs.

Constable has been omitted! Hately has been named. Matt Crouch to have a fitness tomorrow. #SuperCoach #AFLFantasy

ROOKIE RELIEF

While rookie options are few and far between at the minute, SuperCoaches are set for some rookie relief with a host of debutants named this weekend. Saints mature-age Robbie Young headlines that list, with the former SANFL forward scoring 69 on debut with two nice goals.

Popular pre-season ruck option Darcy Fort scored a ton on debut and could present a trade for those with Riley O’Brien on the bench.

Elsewhere, Mitchell Hinge scored 56 in his first game for the Lions and could be an option when he’s on the bubble next week, while Demon Oskar Baker will need to improve in game two after scoring 41 against West Coast.

Top 10 draft pick Ben King (17) was disappointing while Joel Garner (66) made their debuts today for Gold Coast and Port Adelaide respectively.

Matty Parker and Robbie Young celebrate a Young goal against the Magpies.

GWS V CARLTON

Late mail: David Cuningham (soreness) replaced by Lochie O’Brien

Heroes: We knew Lachie Whitfield (170) would be fresh after a fortnight out with injury, but we didn’t realise he would be THAT fresh. The Giants’ star was prolific, registering a whopping 40 touches, 18 marks and three goals, falling just 40 points short of his monster break even. Tim Taranto (144) and Josh Kelly (131) also collected 35-plus possessions, while Jeremy Cameron (108) hit the ton despite being held goalless. For the Blues, Nic Newman (118) got plenty of action in defence.

Villains: Where do we start… It was a horror day for the Blues, and their SuperCoach scores reflected it. Patrick Cripps (66) had his worst game in recent memory, held to just 12 touches by gun stopper Matt de Boer. He’s lucky he went at 100 per cent disposal efficiency, otherwise it would have been a nightmare day at the office. Popular rookies Will Setterfield (29) and Michael Gibbons (28) stunk it up, while Liam Stocker (45) failed to a solid score. To make matters worse, Zac Williams (75) injured his hamstring in the second quarter and sat out the entire second half.

Patrick Cripps was blanketed by tagger Matt de Boer.

RICHMOND V HAWTHORN

Late mail: James Frawley (hamstring) replaced by Connor Glass.

Heroes: What would the odds have been for Noah Balta (101) to score a SuperCoach ton a fortnight ago? The youngster went one better after a promising display last week and is set to make a mountain of cash. He was due for a big one and Dustin Martin (128) delivered. The superstar topped the scoring chart, racking up a whopping 37 touches and booting two goals. Sydney Stack (63) registered 43 points in the second half to return a solid total.

Villains: Ruckman Ben McEvoy (39) and forward Mitch Lewis (47) were villains through no fault of their own, with both going off injured during the match. Cash cow Liam Baker (54) got his worst score for the season, while Shai Bolton (51) and Dylan Moore (50) also posted run of the mill totals.

Noah Balta posted his first SuperCoach ton of his career against the Hawks.

PORT ADELAIDE V GOLD COAST

Late mail: No late changes.

Heroes: In a wet and torrid affair, rookie revelation Connor Rozee (116) led all comers for the Power, posting his third ton for the season to keep his price rising. It was a tale of two halves for Travis Boak (106) and Tom Rockliff (103), while Zak Butters (76) reached a promising total. Debutant Joel Garner (65) and Joe Atley (66) showed good signs and could be worth looking at as downgrade options.

Villains: Despite the Power’s solid win, Justin Westhoff (62) failed to have an impact, with Ken Hinkley deploying the utility in defence. Conditions were difficult for Sam Collins (36) and debutant Ben King (17) who had just one kick for the match.

Justin Westhoff had another disappointing SuperCoach outing.

ESSENDON V FREMANTLE

Late mail: No late changes.

Heroes: Dylan Shiel has been a great value pick this season and he scored a season-high 130 against the Dockers, edging Zach Merrett (121) for the top spot on Essendon’s scoresheet. Michael Hurley has dropped off the radar after being a premium defensive pick in the past, but he showed he can still score well with an even ton. Meanwhile, David Mundy (141) continued his hot form, burning everyone who traded him out after a poor opening two rounds.

Villains: No failures from popular SuperCoach players but Nat Fyfe’s owners would have been hoping for more than 101 points, especially if they had the C on him.

NORTH MELBOURNE V SYDNEY

Late mail: In-form midfielder Josh Kennedy missed for the Swans, replaced by off-season recruit Ryan Clarke. North Melbourne went in as selected.

Heroes: Ben Cunnington increased his already-impressive season average with a big 127, but it was only the fourth-highest score of the match behind Luke Parker (145), Jack Ziebell (132) and Jake Lloyd (141), who bounced back after a couple of quiet weeks. Isaac Heeney’s owners were breathing a sigh of relief after a 116.

Villains: Anyone trade in bubble boy James Rowbottom? He was Sydney’s lowest scorer with just 24 points. Zak Jones scored 46 and copped an injury and hopefully no one had Nick Larkey (54) on the field.

GEELONG V WESTERN BULLDOGS

Late mail: Geelong ruckman Rhys Stanley is a late withdrawal with an adductor injury. Ryan Abbott will now team up with debutant Darcy Fort for ruck duties.

Heroes: Is there a more undersold SuperCoach contributor than Mitch Duncan? After averaging 110 and 106 in the past two years, Duncan has four consecutive scores above 116 after pumping out 144 against the Bulldogs. There was concern for Patrick Dangerfield (115) who limped from the field late, but his dominant first half ensured he posted another hundred. Defender Tom Stewart (114) and Gary Rohan (112) were the other Cats in triple figures, alongside debutant Darcy Fort (105). Jack Macrae (124) led the way for the Bulldogs as his price heads back toward $600,000.

Villains: Only 87 for Tim Kelly after his 162 last week, but we can forgive him after his huge effort last weekend. If you haven’t traded Tom Liberatore (76) yet, you might have no choice but to hold him as his price heads south at an alarming rate. Caleb Daniel (77) has had two quiet weeks after a flying start, while those relying on Charlie Constable (61), Jordan Clark (33) and Will Hayes (31) were caught out. Billy Gowers was the lowest scorer on the ground with 26.

BRISBANE V ADELAIDE

Late mail: Brisbane has replaced Luke Hodge with Ryan Lester. No changes for Adelaide.

Heroes: Lachie Neale won’t get much cheaper than his Round 10 price after getting within 10 points of his mammoth 158 break even by posting 148. Dayne Zorko (121) and Charlie Cameron (117) also figured prominently in Brisbane Lions’ thrilling win. Rory Sloane (124) has been one of the most underrated players of the year and topscored for the Crows with 124. Brad Crouch has hovered frustratingly between 80-100 for much of the year but produced a welcome total of 119.

Villains: If you played Noah Answerth on field due to this week’s rookie carnage, you copped a disappointing 26. There weren’t many let-downs from the most popular SuperCoach players in this game, although Rory Laird was on track for 120 before an underwhelming second half caused him to score less than 90.

Start making plans to trade Matt Parker after his score of 30 against Collingwood. Picture: Lawrence Pinder.

COLLINGWOOD V ST KILDA

Late mail: Collingwood pair Darcy Moore and Jordan De Goey have been replaced by James Aish and Rupert Wills. No changes for the Saints.

Heroes: If you overlooked Max Gawn to leave the captaincy on Brodie Grundy, you would have been thrilled when Brodie Grundy matched the Demons ruckman’s 144. Steele Sidebottom (120) and Adam Treloar (113) were influential as Collingwood pulled clear in the second half, while Ben Reid (111) managed his best score since Round 7, 2017. Luke Dunstan (120) was outstanding in the clinches for the Saints, while Shane Savage (113) continues to be a prime outlet from defence.

Villains: It’s time to go Matt Parker. The Saints cult hero had a break even of 55 heading into this game and is going to lose a decent chunk of the profit he’s made for coaches. Take the early punt and turn him into his teammate Robbie Young, who scored 69 on debut. Scott Pendlebury’s hot streak has come to an end with a score of 79, while Jeremy Howe (68) continues to dip further below $400,000. He’s scored premium numbers before but it would be a big risk jumping on the high-flying Magpie.

Late change: Will Schofield (general soreness) was replaced in the selected side by Tom Hickey

Heroes: What more can you say about Max Gawn? Anyone who left this guy out of their Round 1 side should be kicking themselves. He has delivered once again, and those who had the VC on him can now rest easy for another week.

Villains: It was a night when Melbourne’s midfielders cashed in with some big scores. But Christian Salem missed the memo. He finished with just 59 points. Meanwhile, Jack Viney also struggled to have a scoring impact, finishing with 63.
