Ryan Pritchard

@7AFL Should have swapped Drew for Wines, just hard to be on notice if you aren’t playing I guess

"If you don't have speed, if you don't have power, if you can't get out of a contest, if you're a high handball, low-kick player... you're in trouble." ⚠️ Introducing... Kane's Roadblocks 🛑

@JG232_ All of Hayes-Brown, Balta, Gray, Lefau are surely ahead of Ryan as options for Richmond to choose to be number 1 ruck this week. Ryan being available doesn’t mean he’s AFL fit or ready. Will play two weeks in the vfl minimum imo

For my fellow draft coaches out there, Samson Ryan has played just five games in his career in which he attended 50% or more centre bounces for scores of 82, 104, 77, 83 and 46 and an average of 78.4. #SuperCoach

@AFLSC360 Rough rest of season average Sheezel 115 Petracca 110 Miller 105 JHF 102 Miers 101 Flanders 100 Rankine 99 Thilthorpe 98 Would end up being a strong group of top 8 fwds. Concerned about the durability of Petracca, JHF and Rankine though

@pritchfork If Trac is out 6 weeks I’d almost count him out. I rate the others as top-10 forwards for sure mate

Legends, the Forward line is ABSOLUTELY COOKED this year! Petracca out just exposed it… aside from Harry Sheezel, there is no clear top 6. Genuinely, who do you think finishes top 6 from here? Go👇

@AFLSC360 Yeah just going for average there. From a SC classic ownership perspective Trac could miss their next 7 matches and still be a trade in for round 13 or 14 after their bye as he could be on for a 110 average post bye still

@FootyStuffYT Must admit looked like a couple dubious frees there. Video quality of all these are great though

Bottom ager Jake Miller might already be the best key forward in the Talent League and started off his year with a big performance in round 1 youtu.be/1meNRVr_Eng

@wbulldogsnews9 Bramble hasn’t been in the back line this year, which has helped. They’ve got a high spend Footscray back line tbf! But yes Dogs are doing well with a lot of their work

Dogs low spend backline Buku rookie Sellwood msd Lobb trade second round pick O Donnell cat b rookie Lachie Jacques second round pick Bramble ssp Dale third round pick Budarick pick 37 Genius

@bphreshly @JackCJohnston He actually got left out of the side without his form even dipping imo, was just stiff to be dropped

@JackCJohnston I feel like we were having this conversation about Buku last year. Then his form dipped and he was out of the side. Perhaps it didn’t get this much attention as we weren’t winning. Most XYZ player after some teams have only played twice is such a snorefest, regardless.

I'm loving what Buku Khamis has been doing and I am very happy for him that he's getting his flowers. But is he really "the most improved player in the comp"? This feels like a classic case of "team starts winning so player who has always done A is credited as finally doing A".

@Secko_IFS I thought all the podcasts and conversations and data out there were making the general population catch up to my level in this game, but people are still buying Bont at 700k mid season before he has two byes and buying Xerri at 670k mid season. Mistakes really

66.4%… and counting 66.4% of teams that are in the top 1% rank in SC are trading Xerri in. I get the appeal and it seems like now or never but 2/3 trading him in after his biggest ever score, I can see the rage posts next week if he only scores 95 #aflsupercoach @SCInsightPod

@SC___Scout I do agree with your overall premise that the number of injury/sideways trades could be too few for the way many coaches go if the rate of injuries to highly owned players keeps up

@pritchfork I wonder how most teams struggled to get a proper full 23 last year then 😂 The injuries are already worse this year too. We’re toast.

If you’re aiming for 23 keepers by the end of the season, you usually only get 6 -7 trades for injuries and sideways moves. Plenty of teams will have used 3 already now on: ❌ Christian Petracca ❌ Errol Gulden ❌ Connor Rozee #AFL #SuperCoach

@nuffingtonpost Interesting odds. I still think Dees are at least a slither of a chance

Well that changed …

@SC___Scout Starting team +5 restructure/sideways corrections should get you 12 premiums and the best cash gen guys. Buy 11 more premiums to get to 23, funded by 14 downgrades. Leaves 10 injury trades for 23 rounds of trading

@pritchfork There is no way you’re getting anywhere near 23 top end keepers if 15/40 trades are used on sideways and injuries. I wish 😂

@mcdonellaussie @RFC_Centre That’s right, I do recall those Trainor comments. Maybe it wasn’t him who was looking good. That’s probably more based on type of injury and how developed the player is

@pritchfork @RFC_Centre I am finding it interesting that some players get to play VFL to get match fitness whereas some players (last year) did mini preseasons to get fit to play AFL. Can only presume not wanting contact for the later players? (Too fragile?)

My Team - R3 FB - Broad Balta Miller HB - Grlj Vlastuin Short C - Hugo Dion Sonsie HF - Rioli Lalor Seth FF - Green Lefau Armstrong R - OHB Ross Taranto IC - Faull Banks Trezise Alger Hopper E - McAuliffe Fawcett Gray In: OHB Faull Alger Out: Lynch Nank Brown (Omit) #GoTiges

@mcdonellaussie @RFC_Centre Hopper, but happy to leave Trainor out if Hopper is replaced by someone else. It was a week or two ago Trainor apparently played very well in vfl praccy but didn’t seem to follow it up on the weekend with another elite game. Prestia can cover Hopper’s absence now he’s had a run

@pritchfork @RFC_Centre Who goes out for Trainor?

@FootyIsMyJam @DemonsFanCams I swear Langford and Lalor are nearly the same player. Not sure why Langford isn’t 50% inside mid, 30% full fwd and 20% bench. Getting 3-4 centre clearances and 1-2 goals a game. Does look off this year though so not even putting pressure on for more mid time

@DemonsFanCams Lindsay to half back is the Windsor to half back of 2026. He’s a wingman. But he and Langford have a touch of 2nd year blues about them, Harvey slow as a truck so far this year. I’d almost play him i50 at this rate cos defensively his opponent is stacking it up.

I don’t understand Lindsay’s role. Didn’t we draft Xavier Taylor in that exact position??? #AFLFreoDees

@SC___Scout Very unfortunate. The big thing for me is the watch on future mids vs Dees. Clearly a Melbourne tactic to tag with new coach!

This is a brutal way for 26,000 coaches to get sucked into Caleb Serong. Everything lined up perfectly: 
• Gulden goes down
• Cats, Pies, Lions & Blues on the bye
• Other top options had the bye coming
• Same price as Gulden
• Fresh off a 150 (inflated by a 80pt last term) It felt like the only move. ❌ Clamped by Tholstrup for 6 touches and 21 SuperCoach at HT. #AFL #SuperCoach

@PedlarFan That was the hardest done by Darcy has ever been. Crows fans are hilarious

I can’t wait for thilthorpe and fog to get the whistles that naughton and Darcy get.

@Shay_mie95 @Jasperc53 Why play Baker as a def then when he can play well anywhere? Duggan arguably isn’t any better than Lindsay or Maric either for what they need next to the other 6 defs. But the other defs are all young so feel like Baker and Duggan are just their for leadership really

@Jasperc53 The Eagles backline is genuinely pretty decent, especially for medium/small defenders. Lindsay was only in the side with Baker out suspended

I can only watch what’s on the broadcast, but Josh Lindsay must’ve been walking around on defence to be dropped after that debut… pretty bloody stiff
