Supercoach Draft comp

[dwaino]

Just looking through everyone's teams, it sure looks like this will be a lot more exciting than regular SC! The teams are so different, and they remind me of real teams. Everyone has some top shelf talent, but carrying a few plodders too.

Feeling a bit bullish at the moment though. Reckon I'm comfortably batting through to my bench  Might have to see who can dish me up the best tabbouleh to get a run on the park

I didn't do too badly with my team. Strong mids and rucks; Backs not too bad as far as generating Supercoach pts; Forward line on the weak side.


DEF: Adcock, S.Thompson (Nth), Rance, C.Cornes, Burgoyne

MID: Watson, J.Kennedy (Syd), Mitchell, S.Thompson (Adel), Judd, Sewell

RUCK: McEvoy, Jolly

FWD: T.Walker, Whitecross, Adams, Schulz, Mayne

INT: Carrazzo, K.Cornes, Fyfe, Gaff

[LondonTiger]

Def : Goddard, Gibbs, Hartlett, Chaplin, Fisher (Not bad)
Mids : Ablett, Boyd, Sidebottom, Shuey, Redden, McVeigh (Very good)
Rucks :  Minson, Griffin (oh dear)
Forwards : Bartel, Dahlhaus, Cloke, Sylvia, Westhoff (oh Dear!!)
Bench : Greene (GWS), Mundy, Kerr, Hodge (Not bad)

How do you view the other teams?

Here's my full team. Happy overall but mid midfield really needs work

Def: B.Waters, H.Scotland, P.Hanley, J.Grimes, R.Murphy (Good)
Mids: L.Montagna, B.Vince, B.Howlett, A.Treloar, T.Liberatore, T.Mzungu (Depressing)
Rucks: I.Maric, D.Cox (is it possible to do any better)
Forwards: P.Chapman, D.Zorko, D.Thomas, J.Riewoldt, D.Martin (Very Good)
Bench: N.Grima, M.Wallis, H.Macintosh, A.Goodes (Okay)

Going to go through whats left to see if there are any decent mids not selected but as I have a dearth of quality ruckman, I might consider letting McIntosh go for the right Midfielder.

McIntosh not prepared to play second fiddle

Talented Ruckman Hamish McIntosh has declared publicly that he is not prepared to play second fiddle at the Terrors in 2013 and wants out!
With the likes of Dean Cox and Ivan Maric ahead of him in the pecking order, he has realised that it is inevitable that he will spend the majority of his time playing in
the Terror's feeder club, The Marvel City Mud Runners. His only hope is for injury to occur to either Cox or Maric which at this stage looks unlikely.
 
In a recent interview FSN found on youtube, Hamish stated, "I don't know why they selected me. I'm too good to be an insurance policy destined to play in the Magoo's. I'm a big game player, I love the roar of the crowd. It lifts me to be the best I can be. The sound of squelching devon sandwiches and loo's flushing in boondock games just doesn't cut it for me."

It's clearly evident that McIntosh is unhappy and he has asked his manager, Reno Esquino, to field offers from other clubs interested in adding quality to their ruck division.

We spoke with the Terror's Head Coach and he stated "We understand that Hamish is unhappy with his position in the ruck team, however he is still a required player and therefore we will not be granting him a release. In saying that, we will consider offers from other clubs that are interested, and if the dangled carrot is big enough, we will be willing to negotiate."

Downward Deros keen to turn it around

It was a disappointing 2012 for the Deros after a solid 2011, but this week head coach Dwaino was confident that things were to change in 2013 after some mature recruiting in the off-season but it will really depend on whether the younger, less experienced players are able to take that next level. "Look, we're under no illusions that it's going to be a tough year, but the younger guys like Breust, Heppell, and Ziebell know it's their turn to pick up the slack. [Captain] Dangerfield, [vice-captain] Deledio, and those who have proven their elite status, just aren't enough to win games on their own," told Dwaino to ANJ earlier this week.

Dwaino also went on to say that within the club there is a buzzing optimism about the Deros ability to compete all season against every side, "we are still yet to cement our best 22. Obviously there is Patty [Dangerfield], Lids [Deledio], Shaw, and Big Sauce [ruckman Sam Jacobs], but from Grog [Duffield] to Goldylocks [Heppell], Breust to Sheds [Edwards], there is real competition for spots and we think that will work for us." Deros are also expecting the return of midfielder Wellingham to return sometime after the first couple rounds.

When asked about if there is any interest in disgruntled Terrors' ruckman Hamish McIntosh, Dwaino replied that naturally questions had to be asked internally when a player of that quality may be obtainable, but at this stage no formal inquiry has been made. "Look, he's a great player and I'm sure plenty of teams would love to have him. But at this stage he's under and injury cloud. We're really keen to see how big Clarky goes in the ruck behind Sauce [Jacobs], and we've also got Roughy up forward to cover any immediate ruck issues should they arise. It's something though that I'm will be looked at by our football manager [Mick] Molloy and list manger The Paw in time."

When asked about his earlier and much publicised off season incident in Thailand with a transsexual hooker and what effect it will have on the team over the season, Dwaino denied having any comment and that whether or not it was actually a prostitute is nothing more than alleged.
