My SuperCoach 2010 Team(s)

SuperCoach is finally underway for 2010. Will your team scale the lusty heights? Earn the bragging rights so desperately desired?

Here lies the moment where the music slows. The lights dim. The velvet curtain edges upward. Very slowly. A faint saxophone is heard. Then tambourines. The spotlights shoot on. At first, nothing is seen. A shadow appears from stage right. Baggy, loose clothing. What looks to be a quilt or sleeping bag overlaid. The moment is here.

Yes. Everybody it's showtime! A strip-tease from a decrepit geriatric. Not quite what was written on the ticket. A show nonetheless. For your viewing pleasure ....

The music stops and the lights go on.

I'm not so happy with O'Keefe as an early pick up. Pre-season, he was locked in. I think I have downplayed the significance of the Hawthorn new boys - Kennedy & McGlynn. Kennedy in particular has to be glued to the midifeld, pushing O'Keefe out. He won't disappoint, but won't be the shining light I thought he would be.

Ablett, had to pick him for the title team. Don't like his price, at all. Perfectly happy to pick him up later for the league team.

Hille, well hopefully it is a 2 week suspension at most. The McEvoy cover, was sweating on. I usually leave quite a bit in the bank for league teams. So was happy to spend a bit on him in the usually useless ruck reserve positions.

Best of luck to the competitors in the 2 leagues running. Will you be scared of the mighty Bruisers?

How about your team lineup? Round 1 going well so far?

Update: Team A 2314, Team B 2316
