The Michael Maguire
Momentum-based. Relentless.
Trusting Feel and Tempo
You coach with instinct and an acute sense of momentum. You read the rhythm of the season — price cycles shifting, roles opening, confidence building — and you trust that feel when it presents itself. You’re not waiting for perfect information; you’re looking for the moment when opportunity is forming.
Striking Early for Maximum Leverage
When you sense upside, you act decisively. You understand that being early often carries more value than being safe. While others wait for confirmation, you position yourself ahead of the curve, capturing price growth, role security,
or ceiling before it becomes common knowledge.
Comfort With Calculated Uncertainty
You’re comfortable operating without full certainty. You accept that incomplete information is part of the edge — and that hesitation can be more damaging than a failed aggressive play.
Your risk isn’t reckless; it’s intentional, driven by timing rather than emotion.
Playing the Season’s Rhythm
You don’t force aggression every week. You wait for the tempo to shift, then accelerate hard.
This ability to change pace — patient when nothing is there, explosive when it is — separates you from coaches
who either chase everything or miss their windows entirely.
The Key Insight
Your strength lies in decisiveness at the right moment.
In short: You trust your feel, strike early, and capitalise on opportunity before the rest of the competition
even realises it’s there.

Season Strategy
Phase 1 - Pre-Season - Lead Up to Round 1
Build your squad based on positional coverage, a good mix of cheapies, mid-rangers, premium tier and risk on a 1-3 PODs.
Phase 2 - Early Season - Rounds 1–11:
Aggressive but controlled. Pick your shots. You want to take advantage and a high rank early, but don’t miss planning for Origin.
Phase 3 - Origin Period - Rounds 12–19:
Stabilise. Recover trade count. You have to take a loss at some point in the season and if you’ve planned right, this is the phase to do it.
Phase 4 - The Run-Home - Rounds 20–27:
Stay calculated. Trade when required. You don’t want to gas all your trades and be left with 2-3 rounds and no flexibility.
