Averaged more than that with 50% game time in 2009.Armoooo wrote:Maguire will never be a good supercoach player IMO, will average 50 IMHO. I wish him all the best but he will be behind Merret and Patful who are both superior players, also two of the only blokes in the league he matches up well against just so happen to be in the same side in Fev and Brown.
Pittard and Tutt are irrellevent because we'll never know if we would have taken them and we'll never know how they would have developed with us.
All the best to Xavier, hope he has a good year.
Ball will not average 120 in the season proper, will averages around 80 IMO.
Agree, must have I reckon even if he is a little traitor. Will score well early until old age catches up with him about mid yearStNoodles wrote:Averaged more than that with 50% game time in 2009.Armoooo wrote:Maguire will never be a good supercoach player IMO, will average 50 IMHO.

100+ imo
1. Luke Ball PIES 457,100 MID
Luke Ball would have to be the meaning of Supercoach HYPE players. Ball has not played a full
season since 2005 and whilst he seems to find ways to get himself injured, has never really
possessed the ability to take a game apart and score the 150’s that he should be at this stage of his
career. Luke is just a good average player and his average of just under 100 since 2005 reflects this.
He will score his hundreds now and then but never earn massive scores mainly because he just isn’t
effective enough when he gets the ball. He makes mistakes with his disposal and can barley kick over
35m and in Supercoach, all these attributes are vital for consistent big scores. If you want someone
who will score consistent 90-100 point then Ball is your man but don’t expect the big scores with this
guy, he just doesn’t have Supercoach A grade player status in him.
Now the Roach knows listing some of these players is controversial and many coaches currently have
these guys in their team. The Roach is however all for risks and to win Supercoach you do need to
take risks at some stage. So by all means pick some of the players I have listed but be aware some
may be champs but most will let you down it’s in their nature.
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!
Well, nice to see that you have change your original message that stated that SuperRoach was wrong...InkerSaint wrote:I have both in my starting team and I'll explain why:
1. Luke Ball is the 3rd highest-averaging midfielder in the pre-season with scores 85, 132, 144. Don't confuse Supercoach scores with actual ability.
2. You won't want Maguire in your final team but at $114k he is underpriced by about 250 thou. It's called a cash cow.

Pretty much agree with all of that, Was it a money thing that saw us let him go? Seems like a weird decision to me. Maybe just had to let him go so he could garauntee senior selection? I dont know but I would have preferred he stay.Saintsfan wrote:I am going to proudly go to the Gabba and barrack for Goose as to me he is still one of us. I do not support the clubs decision in letting him go especially considering he is back to playing football now and also the way in which Zac Dawson was molested by Barry Hall.
He is a big body. When he gives body contact it is solid and forceful. He flies the flag and low and behold, he is back playing in the big time (I know its just pre-season games but he has to start somewhere)
The Gooseman cometh
Why was it a weird decision. He didnt play a game last year and was fit for most of the year. Seems a pretty normal decision for a 26 year old.rexy wrote:Pretty much agree with all of that, Was it a money thing that saw us let him go? Seems like a weird decision to me.

Taking all emotion out of it it seems like the normal thing to do. I do not classify it as weird either. Dissapointing yes but not weird.plugger66 wrote:Why was it a weird decision.

Yes, I removed the Roach reference from my post after I realised he was only wrong on one count, and not two.St Fidelius wrote:Well, nice to see that you have change your original message that stated that SuperRoach was wrong...
Everything he stated about Luke Ball is based on FACT in the home and away season, and not the crap pre season comp.
So please tell me on just what count he (or the site) was wrong on???InkerSaint wrote:Yes, I removed the Roach reference from my post after I realised he was only wrong on one count, and not two.St Fidelius wrote:Well, nice to see that you have change your original message that stated that SuperRoach was wrong...

Has missed the Roach microsocpe this season but has finally made it. The Roach isn't a fan of this pre season hype machine and for those who picked him you were warned. Frustrating a heap of teams with low scores, Ball may not be in Collingwood's best 22 by mid season.

Tell me InkerSaint, do you still have him in your side, and what is your team name?
Do you think my post was aggressive??Saintsfan wrote: Bit aggressive aren't we? It takes a big man to find a thread from a month ago to prove a point nobody cares about

I would think you post towards me was more so.
Just who are you to suggest that nobody cares about this thread??
There are a few posters on here that are registered in SuperCoach and I was stating that Ball has far too many clanger disposals to be considered.
If you don't care about it, why bother making a post in this thread to start with
