SuperCoach Edge

It was a mixed bag of a round this round, not unlike a box of Favourites. We had the virtual Picnics, Crunchies and Boosts in “You’re so GULDEN” pig it up with a 156 for the second week in a row, Hodor smashing the door down for a 151 and Marshall delivering a tasty 131. And then we had the Turkish Delight in the form of Sinclair’s 65, English’s 88 and Dawson’s 89, which all deserved to go straigh...

It was a relatively uneventful round for once - but with injuries and key suspensions in recent weeks, it was a welcome relief for us all! Josh Dunkley got things off to a flyer first up - especially for those who captained him - and he went on a clinic to score 149. Not to be outdone, though, Bont proved an even tastier option with a 164, whilst the Pink, Sweaty Pig was a suitable alternative wit...

It was a Green Day, as Tom Green and Will Day were a welcome return to our sides from suspension, thankfully meaning we didn’t have to rely on as many putrid onfield rookies as last week given they burnt us. Laird gave us a scare twice over when there were conflicting reports he might not play due to calf tightness. Shout out to the Crows CEO for setting the record straight to say he would 100% pl...

Well, we’ve had some bad weeks up until now in 2023, but this takes the cake. I think Johnny Cash said it best when he sung “I will let you down, I will make you hurt”, and I think that sums up the cruel mistress that is SuperCoach and the love/hate relationship we share with her. But if it’s any solace no one was immune from the scattergun mayhem the SC Gods sprayed across the competition.  But i...

The SC community "gathered round" to FINALLY witness the unveiling of the yeti himself - the man, the myth, the legend - Will Gould being unleashed, and yes he does in fact exist! It was a thing of beauty! Meanwhile, Docherty owners were forced to trade (if they weren’t already) after news of an MCL injury, with one of the popular trade in options of Dawson going BIG with no tag! Set-and-forget-er...

The Daicos dynamo set the tone early, punching out a 151 in emphatic fashion, but the highs were met with lows for those who owned Docherty, leaving us all asking “Whats up DOC?!” Jordan Dawson brought his own footy to the clash with Freo, whilst Longmuir somehow thought it’d be more effective tagging Rory SQUARED instead of him, and the margin and performance from the Crows captain reflected why...

Incredible scenes as we saw the second coming of Stewart as he arose from the ashes like Lazarus to ruin the hopes and dreams of former and prospective owners alike. Speaking of rising from the ashes, the man affectionately known as HO-DA-DOOR had owners rejoicing at a respectable score for once. And, of course, injuries continued with Darcy Cameron, who 16% of the competition unfortunately traded...

Much like last week, there was a bit of carnage to kick the round off, with Gawn delivering owners a donut - and unfortunately not of the hot jam variety - after he went down with injury. Steele was yet another premo to go down with injury, fracturing his collarbone - yet he once again played out the game like he did when he previously did a similar injury. Bloke deserves a purple star! But then w...

The 2023 officially kicked off, and we were all silently looking for the reset button such was the amount of carnage we all faced in the opening round; with the likes of Stewart, Jones, Kelly and Whitfield headlining the key injuries, and Laird one of the bigger under-performing premos. We throw up some options to help with how best to cover their absence with trade options in the form of fellow p...
