SuperCoach is OPEN!!! Tips with the fantasy GOAT Moreira's Magic!

Welcome back to the official Supercoach AFL podcast and one of the most fun shows of the preseason.

This is our pods pod.

Supercoach will be open for everyone very soon, but Supercoach Plus subscribers have had access to the early team Picker four a month now and we have some exclusive data on what they've been doing. Stay tuned as we reveal the most selected players in Super Coach AFL for twenty twenty five and the hidden gems who are being overlooked by coaches so far. And there are plenty of interesting names to talk about. A couple of nuggets off the top.

Yeah, just really exciting to see some exclusive data.

Our coming our way.

The place to get all your exclusive numbers this season is the Supercoach Official podcast of course. Ou So, yeah, came to look at some of the numbers that have been hidden on team pickers so far.

Yeah.

Absolutely, And Dan Badden is back with us. Now, Dan, did we try and brand you as the podmaster at one stage a couple of years ago?

Didn't stick? I don't think.

I think we.

I think that was one of my first ventures into the super Coaches six years ago, right out the pods for for each position. Unfortunate I didn't actually pick any of them because I usually go cookie cutter, so it didn't last long. But yeah, looking forward to pouring through and there are some surprising names.

Both at the top and the bottom of this. Yeah, looking forward to getting into and.

We'll do that surely with our very special guest, the Supercoach Guru, Jordan Dessenta is with us. He finished eleventh overall in twenty twenty three and then backed up last year with a top three hundred finish. That's of more than one hundred and eighty five thousand players in AFL classics, so obviously knows what he's doing. Can teach us a thing or two about super coach Jordan. Great to have you on the show.

Thanks so much for having me boys.

Yeah, great to be here and yeah already so keen for the twenty twenty five season. I think when the team peg opens, I've made a team within about ten minutes, so so be keen to chat about all the ownership numbers.

Can you share any insights just quickly on maybe you know, more of a broader perspective on how you're attacking this year.

Yeah, I think like my strategy of the last couple of years has been, like I like to save as many trades as I can, so I think both years at the back at the end of the year, I've been able to use those trades when other coaches have been out of trades. So I guess the philosophy as I try and pick players that I think obviously there's a you know, you've got to take a bit of a risk there with hopefully there's players that can stay

So yeah, yeah, that's great.

It's yeah, it's very easy to get sucked into the gunning for the hot start early and with players he might have a good early drawer or something like that, but in the end, your overall rank at the end of the season is cumulative points over twenty three twenty four rounds.

So if you get someone who you know, we might talk about a bit later.

But I was talking with Dan Off very about Nick Martin, who was a bit of a frustrating own, but if you look at him at the end of the year, he's scored the seventh or eighth most points of any defender, so he's turned out to be a great selection. So that's something maybe to keep in mind this year. And just speaking generally, do you like to deviate from the pack and go with several pods in your starting team?

Usually yeah, I think I'd like to pick like one or two pods. I think I think, yes.

I mean some of the picks that will talk about, especially the forward line is so valuable this year, I almost feel like I probably will go with the pack on the forward line because there's so many limited options there. I probably won't go for a pod there. I'll probably look at the pod in a different position this year, whether it's the rucker or the midfield, the defense as well, I feel like there's not as many options, so I'll probably look for that pot in the.

Mid or the ruck.

And yeah, I think over the last couple of years, probably just one or two pods. I really think that if you can start your side, you know, straight up quite solid. It's that trading game and jumping on players that you think are looking to break out when you've seen a bit more data and the role after a couple of weeks.

So yeah, I look to start one or two, I reckon Hopefully we want to find one for a year.

A bit of a drive by there for Dossie two talking about saving trays for the end of the year.

Yeah, it's a rough one, but I did actually sneak peak show Jordan my latest Team Picker, Team and he reckons I've got the fifty k, so I've got the all from the Guru himself, So watch out, all right.

A reminder everybody, smash these like and subscribe buttons wherever you're listening to this, or if you're watching on YouTube, go to Code Sports page and you can see all our podcast episodes there and lots of other great content coming your way in twenty twenty five. If you've listened to our preseason shows, you'll know we've followed a draft style format of going around the table to nominate players.

We'll do that a bit again today.

You also know, if you've been listening, that I've got the order wrong pretty much in every show, so my delegate that to.

Dossie when we get to it.

But we'll start with the list of the most popular players, so we'll just go straight off the top and talk about the top twenty. I think we'll get to most owned so far in the Team Picker and you talked about the forward line and the value on off of there, and it's interesting because when we do this early in the year, quite often it's the rookies that are right up the top because everybody picks the hot rookies and

Is it run out the top ten, I've got one more.

I think I've got one more, and that is Kitty Coleman at the line, so very very cheap defender who we know mister Hall season last year and will be amazing value this year. So lots of mid prices in that list. Join anything there that surprises you based on what we've seen.

So far, Yeah, I don't think anything surprises me.

Obviously, there's a high draft pick those ones there, like from Levi Ashcroft down, and I think those forwards, you know, they're just so valuable like Batty Smith, Cave, Daniel.

McCrae, Rn Francis.

Yeah.

I mean when I did the team picker, that were the first ones that I picked.

This is incredible value there.

I know Hornet is priced at that ninety nine one hundred, but I just think, yeah, he's that perfect super coach player and he's going to I think he's going to take his game to another level. So he was my first f one locked in. Yeah, I guess it's just on those rookies. If they can get names around one, that might change some of the ownership numbers there. But yeah, obviously you can't see why not that they're in a lot of people's teams.

Right now, we'll just go to the next batch of ten, and that is Sid Draper at the Crows at sixty one per cent ownership, Harry Sheesel sixty percent, so people prepared to play up there. In defense, Nick Deakos interesting fifty seven percent picking him. Then the Bond comes in at number sixteen. I think in the most popular and that's yeah, obviously the most expensive player in the game, but with good reason. Also fifty seven percent. Toby Trevali

Hopefully he gets a.

Clear run this year with injury, he'll be a great pick at believe one hundred and twenty two. K Josh Smilly at the Tigers comes in next, also just over the fifty percent, so then we just dip under fifty two Callum Mills Clayton Oliver at forty four percent own so yeah, we can discuss our feelings on him. That's a really interesting one. And running at the top twenty Isaac Kekoo, how do you pronounce that got it that two attemps are going to both roll Dan, I mean a quick one on him.

What do you think as his prospect? Is a super coach rookie.

We know the Bombers have been crying out for play in that role, so hopefully he gets to go early.

Can he score some points for us?

I mean we've seen Nick Watson and josh uh Shelley have sort of varying results from a super coach perspective. Obviously Nick Watson got better as the year went on. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how he goes. He had some good numbers at junior level because he was spending fair bit of time in the midfield.

I like Dick Watson.

He's a little bit an accurate in front of goal, so that they'll be a bit of a watch. But yeah, it's certainly he's certainly got potential there. There's one guy I want to get to a bit later who's a serious pod who I think is a much better forward line rookie.

Pick a bit of mature aga, a little bit of.

A hint there, but yeah, I wouldn't be locking in CaCO just yet. You'd say he's probably a fairly certain starter for the bombers who are crying out as you said, al for that sort of position type.

But yeah, just the role is a little bit of.

A question mark for me and Dossie. What do you make of Clary coming in at forty four percent owned? Is that higher or lower than what you might have thought? Obviously the price is amazing, but what's he going to produce on the field.

That's a real tough one.

I've been pretty pretty staunch in my belief that I think he's basically I must have if he's having a full pre season under his belt. So probably not surprised at the numbers, but also a little bit surprised that people are for giving so easily from last season and because of his team picker at the moment and you've sort of got a long time till the season starts. Some surprise that so many people are just on board, But as you said, the price is just you know,

Yeah, I think I just need to see probably that preseason game, just see how he's running and how fit he is. I actually did last year. I did actually bring him in after that one forty. I think DOSSI you Mayde's done the same. I remember chatting about it and then he sort of yeah, he sort of just didn't quite follow on from that last year and obviously was carrying some of those niggles and stuff.

So I just want to see that in the preseason.

He wasn't actually one that I picked straight away, but I have added him after seeing some photos at Melbourne training. So I think it's just those preseason games that we get to have a look at the community series. If I see Clary and then he's looking fit, then I

Yeah, yeah, it's very nicely Danny, you on the Nick Dakos train this year's I think he's got the giants, which would be probably Toby Bedford in opening round, which will be a bit awkward. Obviously those points don't count towards super coach, but might affect his price. Maybe people thinking they can get him a little bit cheaper after the early buy.

Is that trying to get too clever.

I don't have him my first team, but that's purely because of the injury news coming out of Collingwood that he has had a bit of a delayed pre season.

Just want to see that he is fully fit.

I think even in eighty percent, Nick Dakos can go at one, fifteen, one twenty. But yeah, as you said, Toby Bedford and opening round is a difficult assignment for him. But yeah, he's definitely one who's like, yeah, if he's fully fit, I think you've probably got to pick him.

But yeah, it's just the injury watch for me at the moment.

And are you just paying up six hundred and eighty one K for the bond? Does he.

Yes? Probably? I don't know.

It's a tough question when I'm weighing up someone like a Tristan Sherry in that spot as well, And I don't know if I want to pay that much for two big premiums. But again I'm going to throw to the guy who's you know, always at the point end in Super Coach. He's paying that much for two premium big dogs. Is that too much to pay? And how have you typically you know, done well in your successful seasons?

Yeah, I mean I've studied bond for those last two years that I did come high. I had bond and one for both of them, and it just saves that trade. And he's just that level above. I think he went above. Was it maybe HA have an Andrew K last year or the year before and he's at six point eighty. I know it is a high price to pay, but it is the bond.

I guess. It's just that question is will he regress it? All?

There's talks about I think I was listening to the pod before and we you know, there's some people think you can go to another level, and I think maybe it was UDOSK.

He's wants that brown low. So it's just that sort of he does look pretty.

Fit at the moment in my team, I've actually paid up for Bond and Butters as my M one M two. They both don't have the buy they Yeah, I think they can go one twenty plus.

I wouldn't be surprised if I'm pretty hot on Butters. I think he can. Actually he could even I don't know.

It's a bit of a big call, but I think he could even take take the M one off of Bonds, depending on what happens. I think just with the Ports game style, he just seems to get those points with you know, there's obviously when there's games on the line and stuff, he gets these extra points and he seems to get scaled up a little bit.

So I really like Butters for that factor. Just beware, folks, this is a port fan speaking as well. We must be always take that with a grain of salt. But no great insights there.

I was looking at potentially fading on Butters to start with, but then I looked at their fixture too, and they've got a really nice run early in the season. They've got no early buy, they've a really nice by in the middle of the year. So if you don't start him, it m'd be pretty hard to try and find a way to get him in. I don't know if his price is going to come down too much. And that's

Yeah, so I think just to sort of frame what we're calling a pod here. So we've looked at the ownership numbers and I said to the guys, you know, roughly under ten percent is what we're looking at here. There's obviously we can go even more niche if we want, so, kind of bonus points if you can go even below five percent, maybe below one percent would even be extra bonus points. But I've done the little I've done the spin the wheel, and you're not going to like it.

So, Dan, do you want to take us away with your first one.

Two number one picks from two podcasts? No pressure for me. I'm going to go again for a fairly vanilla one. I was very surprised to see this guy in the POD's sort of section in their less than ten percent, and that's Tom Stewart. I think a lot may have been put off by the fact that he was tagged a lot last year and targeted. He's only in seven point eight percent of teams currently.

He's in mind starting squad.

Might be the geelong bias talking from my work down the Highway, but I think that you know, they he sort of proved in that last eight seven or eight weeks, you know, Chris Scott moving him into the midfield, that he could beat the tag and he was just about best on in the first half of that prelim final as well. So I think he's he provides some serious value. I think he's at about farmer and twenty k at the moment, and you're looking for value there. Obviously, there's

Where do you see him playings this year? Because he gets thrown around a little bit. Last year we were you know, there was some hope he might even be a dppeak, I mean into twenty twenty five. Didn't quite get that. But do we do you think you'll see him back in the centate quick?

Probably not.

I wouldn't have thought just just purely because Smith is going in there. It seemed really like that was a break glass in case of emergency. They were really struggling in the clearances, particularly without Patrick Dainsfield, and with Patrick Damesfield and Tom Stewart in there, you know they will manage to improve that. They've also got Max Holmes to sort of you know, swing the magnets from defense to

I think Stewart could be a top six everything goes right, he could be a top six defender. So that's one that you're starting and you don't have to trade him out for the rest of the year, and he's just going to be in that top six. He was actually one that I was looking at as well, under that ten percent and yeah, average one thirteen, one oh nine, one oh seven last.

Three years, so it just as that role. But he's one that you could lock.

He does have the early buyer, but if you can get back to those numbers, you're getting him pretty underpriced.

There, alrighty, and it's Dossy up next for my first pick, And I'm really surprised that this guy is so low ownership given what he did towards the back end of last year, but probably no surprise as well in that just weighing up the buyers, that's probably the only reason

So if you've got to so a Brisbane.

So if you've got a Bailey Smith, if you've got a Kiddy Coleman, you know, it starts to stack up. So I can kind of understand it, but I also quite like it as a point of difference at this point.

Yes, So I know the Phantom is a huge fan.

So he's going to be back on deck next week, I believe, and I'm sure he'll be trying to push those ownership numbers up before round one rolls around. Jordan, who do you like with your first pick in this sort of pod draft?

Yeah, I'm pretty interested in James Cicily. So there's obviously a name that we've known in Super Coach has been a gun and I think he's sitting at nine percent. It's a real interesting one because it's just about where he's going to play. They've obviously brought in Josh Battle and Tom barrass So yeah, there's talks that he could be that third tall intercepting defender and he could just roam around free, and you know there's a I listened to Xavier Ellis a lot on his podcast and he

Yeah, it's an interesting take as well. And I think to your point, often last year when they did throw them forward, it wasn't at the start of a game. He'd often start as a defender and if it wasn't working, that's when they'd throw him forward. So it's almost like, if he's not dominating, then Hawks are going to try and get him involved and thrown forward if he's getting too much attention back.

So yeah, I quite like it.

And they also the other take with they've kind of constantly had to play him as a bit more of a lockdown than they want to. They keep having these injuries to their key defensive stocks. He hasn't really been able to roam, so having those names coming in, does he then able.

To free wheel?

Like you said, we do, I believe get that opening round look, So if he is one that pops, he could, you know, turn away from being a pod to being highly owned pretty quickly. Next pick, they're oul and it's you with the last pick in our little pod draft.

Well, Jordan actually stole I was going to talk about because I like Sicily too, but I think the defenders are really interesting because we're seeing in those ownership numbers that a lot of people are going straight for a sheezel type. Jack Sinkley is really popular. Two or three names that popping up a lot in teams and with the defense. I know when you open Super Coach the first time you go, you know that's what first cups

But I mean, yeah, I just love watching him play. They love getting the ball in his hands.

It'd be interesting how the Saints sort of shake up with a few new names coming in.

You know, McCrae into the midfield. Does that mean Sinclair stays back more?

But then you know Travali is coming in there, so we know you love Ari shown Maker is an option down there with maybe Battle going out, so there's a few magnets moving around, but I just think, you know, they've brought him in obviously he was a high draft pick and you know, love everything about what he's done so far in his career, and I can just see that trajectory still just going up. What do you think, Danny A NAS fan?

Yeah, I like it.

I've had him in draft the past couple of years and yeah, he's.

Great to watch and you know, such a good kick.

I guess the only question mark is whether he has a lottery on the kick ins.

I think that's probably the.

Thing that will like, you know, get make him from one hundred to one hundred and ten if he's just on the kick ins every game. And as we discussed, I think a couple of podcasts Ago Ari might be on some of those, and then obviously Jack Sinclair as well, depending on his roles. So yeah, it's an interesting one for him. But I guess the thik point in this

Maybe it needs a little bit more selfish in demand.

Those those kick ins increase his sprint speed, so he's getting to the kick in.

Is a bit quicker the Jack Sinclaire.

All right, Dan, we're background too, the number one pick in the draft again for round two, let's take it away for your second pot.

Just for a change, we'll go for another defender.

I reckon and we were saying extra points for under five percent. This guy is in one point six percent of teams. He pumped out a one sixty score in his first game last year. I'm talking about Jordan Ridley, who comes out a little bit of a discount in the Coach twenty twenty five.

We know he started the year injured last.

Year, only came in at about round round eleven I think it was. But these were his scores when he did come in, one sixty two, one eleven, one twelve, A couple of blips on the raid at eighty four sixty three one twenty nine, one twenty seven, one h two and then a thirty three which was injury affected. Obviously, that is one of the question marks at Ridley whether he can get his body right, and he had a

Yeah, unreal, bit of an interesting option. Do you have any any thoughts on him, Jordan.

Yeah, that just you're saying that I just completely forgot about Ridley actually and just looking at his numbers, then he does score very well on super Coaching. Yeah, if you take it that thirty three, he's going at one eleven there, so you know, everything going right, you know, you can see him probably pushing that one eleven the Bombers do of that early buy would be my only thing but yeah, it's that. Yeah, that one's actually you sort of forget because of the nine games he played.

So I really like the pick.

Would you pick him, Jordan?

You're a guy that likes to have his premiums stay in for most of the year. Me and Dossy burnt through all our trades last year, which is probably why I've put forward Jordan Ridley here. But would you have enough confidence to potentially start him with the way you've gone the last couple of years.

Yeah, that's probably the question I think.

I mean, we get to see an overall round look at Ridley, so if that might yeah, I probably actually wouldn't. But if I see something in over around maypop's a big one forty or something and he's looking pretty fit, and I see some pre season stuff, it might get me to change.

Whether it's reactionary or not.

But probably someone I would Yeah, I would have that injury history in the back of my mind. But yeah, I'll say not now, but it could change.

I think I think MJ's philosophy from the coaches panel the other week was like, if you're going to start, if you're going to have one of these injury guys on your team, like injury riddled constantly players, you start with him? Is his philosophy because then you're only wasting a trade to get them out once rather than trading them in and then trading him back out when they get injured again.

So I kind of like that as.

A philosophy when you're looking at some of these guys with checkered injury injury histories. But yeah, he's a name that I certainly haven't heard, and no surprise that he's such low ownership. They're definitely bonus points for you on that one there, Dan. I'm going to jump into a player with my next pick who is a midfielder and a player that I am toying with in my starting squad at the moment in the early days of Team Picker that we are in at the moment, Jordan Dawson

Now, well, I was going to ask Jordan as a poor man, I'm sure how close he watches the Crows. But if you had a take on here, what sort of went wrong for Jordan Dawson last year?

Did his role change much at all?

Or was it just Yeah, like as DOSSI alluded to, there were some really low kicking efficiency numbers, which just don't you know, that's not what we normally see from him. So can we sort of write that off as a bit of an aberration?

Yeah, And I think, I mean I heard the things that he was carrying a bit of an injury as well. Throughout the year, and I just had look at his cbas and last year he went at fifty nine percent cbas. The year before it redid that one fifteen he was at seventy percent cbas. So he saw just a little bit less cbas there, and that was I think they were trying out. You know, they put ranking in there

It's just yeah, just.

Be worried about some of that that midfield time with the inclusions that they've got there at the Crows this year.

Yeah, I suppose the sword can swing both ways. He's getting more help, but they could also be the ones taking his midfield time. So yeah, point take, and I'm pretty keen on him still, but we'll see how it goes into preseason. Jordan, you've got the next pick in the draft. Hopefully I am succeeding in following the draft order this time. But Jordan, take us away with your next pot.

Yeah, I've got I'm going to go a bit rogue here, I think with another one percent that Tan did.

But Ed Richards I just really like him.

I know it's so quite a bit of a pod, but since round fourteen he went at one oh three point eight and that was his first year in the midfield, so I think he's locked down that role now and he just adds so much speed for the Doggies. Obviously they've got Bond in there, They've got tre Laura, and they've got liber and there's quite a bit of depth in there. But I think he's a huge pod. I could see maybe ten points up side there. I just

Yeah.

We saw, I guess a couple of guys leave the club in the off season based on not being used in the midfield last year, and Ed Richards was one that actually was benefited from them missing out because he had a several games where he spent even over ninety percent of center bounce attendances, So Bevo really did like using him often. It was when liber was out that he got those big, huge, sort of bulky percentages that

Yeah, I just think he's ready to actually be the number two guy or third guy with tra Law there, depending if Chill Logan stay fit.

I just think he's he adds so much dynamic to them men. Yeah.

I mean I was listening to Seen the other day and they were talking quite heavily about Ed Richards and how much he added to their team. So just one I'm keeping an eye on there, but you are right about the midfield mix there. But he's that perfect age back. He's not like these guys that are over thirty. Is that mid twenties guy, and I just feel like he just added so much to their midfield with speed and yeah,

Love that as a pod.

Ali, you're rounding out your last pick in the second round here, Well.

I'm going in the mids as well, someone who's at three point four percent ownership, and that is gian Nwcomb at the Hawks. He's five hundred and twenty nine thousand, So yeah, again someone who obviously you'd be picking him to be a keeper in your midfield at that price, but you know, can you potentially get one hundred grand of upside there or you know, ten fifteen points a game?

So he was well.

His average last year was ninety eight point three, which is exactly the same as it was the year before, which is weird coincidence there. But he started the year pretty terribly like you talk about Dawson Newcomb. Started with sixty six sixty six in the first two games, and then in by round five we'd only had one ton. But by the end of the year, obviously Hawthorne, we know, their whole season turned around and came home like an ebsolute steam train, and he was right at the pointy

Yeah, it's another awesome pot in the midfield. There's plenty to choose from, and I think it's probably why they're so lowly owned, is that we've got those massive, massive scoring premiums in our midfield. But there's so many good options and I think opening round is clearly going to dictate a few of these points of difference and whether or not they become highly owned like a guy like

Recording is when you save these clips.

All right, we'll get to our last pick each and Dan takes away with another sneaky point of difference.

Yeah, so a little bit of a different tacts.

I'm going to lock in the rookie that I was alluding to earlier, and that is Sam Davidson from the Bulldogs three point seven percent of teams at one hundred and thirteen K. He could have probably played for Richmond last year. He was dominating in the VFL side. When they're losing himy one hundred points every week as a as a medium forward, you think that the Bulldogs are probably fair a bit better than Richmond VFL did.

He average around about.

Seventy points in that sort of hard running role as a half forward and Bevo loves those type of players, and I think that the Bulldogs picking him, you know, at twenty one years old as already made type, surely he's going to be playing a significant senior footy And as I said, in that sort of another one of those bever role players. So another that's sort of flying

Yeah, it's an.

Absolute classic Bevo move is and that he loves an Anthony sCOD or a Lockie McNeil time that he's plucked from a VFL somewhere and he tends to play them, give them games. That's definitely good. So I mean, what was his role in the VFL. He's not so much a toll forward? Is he a goalkicker or Yeah?

So one ninety centimeter forwards just runs all day. So you're classic, as you say, like you're Lockeye McNeil sort of type in terms of just Anthony Scott where he will just run up and down the wings, getting the footy, taking marks back with the fly that sort of stuff. Yeah, it might not be a huge ball winner like a potentially like a Riley Bias is a mature age off

It's really good to know that he could be one of those options.

As the Devil's advocate, I reckon, I might know why he's so lowly owned at the moment. And I'll throw to Jordan because I reckon he's sort of criticized a couple of my teams I've shown him so far. Because you don't like putting those basement rookies, even if they potentially do have job security.

I reckon, you like to put some of those more expensive.

Players so it's easier to go down, Am I right and saying yeah that's how you like to build the team.

Yeah, I usually do pay up for those guys on the bench. I think that's what I've always done last two years, So it would really have to see the role and really be confident he's going to have a good stretch to put him in there, because those guys can get stuck if they just come in for a couple of games and then they're that basement price, Whereas if you can pay up for some of these higher guys, then you can roll down to them.

All Right, I'll jump to my final pick in the draft, and I'm going to go to a guy we're all pretty keen in this early stage of preseason on the Dockers midfield, and I'm going to go to a little bit higher owned percentage but still under ten percent Andrew Brayshaw at seven point five seven percent owned. Very keen on potentially having him as a starting pick after he

He's in my team, Andy, Sir, I'm one of the eight or nine percent. Yeah, I really like him.

I think every near one hundred and twenty sort of post buy last year, and it seems like early in his career he maybe copped a few tags and he didn't necessarily deal with all that well. But whether he's improved on that or the taggers of just now targeting so wrong, so it doesn't seem to be really an issue for him anymore.

So Yeah, I really like him.

Yeah, and I think last year was carrying a bit of an injury, had a bit of a knee as well, and apparently something with his toe as well. So yeah, if he's over that as well, then that's a massive boost. And with those extra guys in the midfield as well, you think he's going to just yeah, not get that tag targeting to be a bit more off the chain. So and that three you have that awesome buy as well. So it's a great pick.

Sweet, I love it.

I think they seemingly like to play Hayden Young as that forward rolling into the midfield, and they did that a little bit more towards the end of last year as well. So as a person that you know has previously maybe sacrificed a bit of time to go on the wing, I think that's clearly Hayden Young's being that guy at the moment that's not playing as the pure midfielder at every stoppage and sort of sacrificing a little

I know you're a big fan of him, DOSSI, he's actually my team at the moment. Obviously comes a lot of injury risk, but some of the photos come out of the preseason looks he looks very fit, and he looks a totally different person, which is which is awesome to see because I think, you know, I guess, yeah, going back, those injury nikos probably let him down a little bit so he can get himself on the park and fit. I think he could be a great pick.

Those top guys in the ruck. I still have a Cherry.

He gives you the extra flexibility of not locking in him for the rest of the year, like I could play him in the flex position, so that's why I've been thinking about it. Also has that great buy, so it's just one I'm watching and yeah, the preseason photos look amazing.

It just seems to have I know, Doss, you've been sending me a lot of the photo.

You've said a few tell you worry about that.

So yeah, eight percent, I thought, yeah, he's Yeah, he's I thought he actually might be a bit higher than that. So it's interesting to see he's coming at eight percent because I think I've seen on quite a few teams he's been slotted there or in that flex position.

So yeah, big Shrek, big shredded Shrek coming in. It's another mention Sean Darcy. This preseason, we love it. Let's see if he can maintain that injury free preseason heading in two season twenty twenty five.

Alright, out round out this pod draft for us.

Yeah, I'm going to pick someone who's what's the lowest number we've had so far. I've got a one point six percent, so we've had a couple of round that mark.

Looking at the numbers.

Last year, playing at People First the Stadium, he averaged one hundred and thirty two over nine games, which is just ridiculous. So you can figure out what his average evere else was because he finished about one hundred and five overall.

And this year, so gone through and had to look at the fixture.

He plays there eight times plus in opening round, but five of those come after the Gold Coast round fourteen by including a rematch there with the Tigers in round twenty one.

He does get Richmond earlier in the year too, which.

Punish myself by going back and look at his full career scores very Richmond. Every single game he's ever played against Richmond, he scored one twenty six, one fifty four, one forty four, two and one twenty eight. So how many goals after the siron Now here's a couple in

Yeah, the classic stitch up of that of that by round just avoiding those players. But as Jordan said, he you know, you've you've started players and you've ignored those buy rounds when it's a player that you're passionate about going sort of the extra mile.

Could you do that with a with a Gold Coast player?

I'm just interested to your thoughts, honest and even you know, extend this to a Sam Flanders in that premium defender slot as well.

Yeah.

I think the year before when I did start Flanners year that four status and he had just had so much upside that I just had to, like, I had to start him.

Whereas Noah is sort of price you'd have to have things.

You have to be really hot on him to be going like his price is at one o six, we really confident he could go one fifteen one twenty. That's probably the only reason that I haven't consider him because they have that round three by and they don't I think because of that, the price won't move until after that. So yeah, that's probably the only thing I think. For me, it's just those value guys like Flanders was the one.

Yeah, and to our's point, to your point, how like you know, not many people are starting him, probably due to that buy and due to the name, but it also means he's going to be a point of difference to start, you know, when he is passed that buy and he's going to retain that pods status for a while, you'd think, so, one to watch him, maybe one to jump on early if you are really keen on him, so you can jump on and enjoy the ride.

So and if maybe they have some of those they travel a bit more earlier on and his price comes down here one to five hundred k or something, that's when we could snap him up.

Yeah, jump on the home the home run whenever he's got a goffle and a row there. All right, Well, I think that's that's a good, good hour line of the ownership percentages at the moment in Team Picker. Yeah, those were exclusive numbers on the Super Coach Official podcast.

I mentioned a couple of others just to finish off some good names under one percent. I just thought it'd be worth just you know, we're not going to spend too long on them, but just curious who's really getting overlooked this year. I mean, Josh Uncle is in one point four percent of teams. Just nobody points to pick him anymore, but again early by obviously it doesn't help, but we know how well he can score if we

I was not very proud owner last year towards the back end of the year when he got injured, but had a massive run there for a little bit.

Yeah he was great.

Josh Dacos in zero point four percent of teams, so a little bit of talk about him floating cross half back for the Pies. Jie Carwell great pick last year in zero point six percent of teams, so people were absolutely gone cold on him as this Rory lead absolutely super coach champ of years gone by zero point three percent of teams. So I mean, do you want an absolute pot Although I think there's talk he's training back at half back, but maybe that's not the worst thing.

I mean, we know we can score bag dear.

Yeah I had one as well. Just speaking of the phantom earlier in the show. Be remiss of me to say he said this guy was a lock in his team last year towards the back end of last year. He's already taken that back and said he's not picking him, but zero point five six percent for Jamara hugil Hagen, who doesn't have to so high.

He was so strong on that too.

He was very wrong on starting him.

Actually, one player I really like who's about three percent and he didn't talk about was Sam Darcy another Bulldogs, So another one that's the phantoms man one point six seven percent owned. I reckon this guy was hot on a lot of people's RDAR. George Wardlaw only one point six to seven owned this year, so didn't have the breakout last year. Still cheaply priced people just worried maybe about that midfield shakeup at North Melbourne. But is there any other names you had Jordan before we.

Wrap it up?

Yeah, I think I think Locky Neil he wasn't on the one percenters, but he was I think five percent, So I think, you know, maybe the arrival of will Ashcroft, there's sort of going off the Dunky and the nil hype there and the other one was just Jays Simpkin.

I know there's a bit of a roll that.

Yeah, there's there's a bit more depth there at the Kangaroos, but he is a forward and he's at one percent, but he did pop some nice numbers at the end of last year, so it all depends on the role for him. But he's the captain, so he always just wants to keep an eye on there as a forward.

Interesting stuff. Well, thanks everyone for listening and thanks for joining us. Jordie, where can we find you if we're wanting to follow along your journey this year and get some tips and tricks for super coasting? Is you eleventh in twenty twenty three and last year what two ninety eighth?

I think, so pretty high finishes there.

Yeah, just on Twitter, it's just Jordan de Center, so you can find me there. I'll probably head out support training over the next month or two and I might do some tweets and yeah I can hopefully I live down right next to Albert and overwhere the Port train, so I might try and give some port inside. But yeah, I'll just at Jordan the Center on Twitter. I'll post my updates throughout the year.

Beautiful.

Who the kick ins? That's what we want to know. Yeah, yeah, that's the big question.

Shane Barrel, if you didn't even mention him for the pod.

App unbelievable, saying well, I'm going to have to get some footage of you as well. I think that Jordy instill some of that content when you're down at training. We'll talk about that off air. Thanks everyone for listening, and I hope you enjoyed some pods. Some special podcast coming next week, so stay tuned for that. Early next week we got a very special podcast, very special guest lined up, just like Jordan, So stay tuned for that and we will see you very soon
