Yeah.. he's stiff not to be there old son thats for certain. Just can't fit him in my structure this season – only going in with 2-3 of the ultra premiums… looks as if itll likely be GAJ, Pendles and possibly one other

dannyboy · 09/03/2013 at 23:23
hey jock, what makes you go pendles over swanny? i got swan at the moment, simply because he has been more consistant over a longer period. Do you know something we dont???

SCaddict · 09/03/2013 at 21:32
Yeah Jobe is a must for me as well but there are only so many spots on the cheat sheet and more importantly in one's team. Swan, Beams and my man J.P.Kennedy are also very hard to pass up on too.
I have 3 super elites in my team. GAJ is a lock for me but the other two names keeps changing between these 5 or 6 fine fellas almost on a daily basis. Currently giving Jobe and Pendles the nod but goodness knows what it will be by Round 1.

You can still enter. Its not too late to win $150,000 in Centrebets AFL fantasy league. Australias richest fantasy competition… http://bit.ly/centrebetafl

Jocka · 29/03/2013 at 15:50
I Entered Sportsbets AFL Million dollar tipping competition and scored a $250 Free bet. You bloody ripper. I enteted here- http://bit.ly/tipsportsbet

Kev · 09/03/2013 at 21:52
That forward line was missing buddy and cyril, he only really pulled his finger out in the last kicking 3 goals. Won't be starting with him

@LMcleanWatson · 09/03/2013 at 17:37
He is getting pretty old and his body will start to soften.

jockreynolds · 09/03/2013 at 17:53
Hells bells Nick! You're right mate that is bloody remarkable for such a big fella. Made a slight adjustment to the sheet mate 😉 Still reckon any 2.03m bloke at 31 years of age must be considered a risk

SCaddict · 09/03/2013 at 21:43
His consistent premium output and DPP status make him a irresistible selection in my forward line.

Johnno · 11/03/2013 at 14:53
Cox is perfect for fwd line. Will be top 3 fwd scorer this yr.

jimbotraralgon · 11/03/2013 at 18:14
cox is a lock with sandy down. Quite a weak field in the rucks this year.

@Da_Mad_Irishman · 09/03/2013 at 20:34
missing a midfield player in there .. love the team though, great balance – I think with Cox in your forward line you can take a punt on your rucks – if for some reason Smith or Berger don't fire then you can swing Cox in there and look to change your forward line.
Zorko is a risk for me, but one I am willing to take – not having the best of games tonight but is a SC scoring machine with his forward pressure, ability to lay tackles and impact the score board – remember his average form last year had a sub effected score .. Best pure forward in the game behind buddy and pav but offers better value than both of them at the start of the year

@Da_Mad_Irishman · 09/03/2013 at 20:36
max again he's a bit like the duff as in he is actually just shy of premium status .. great option though, if he can stay on the park that is .. having a great preseason

Eagle · 11/03/2013 at 17:49
Will get injured and miss games

@Da_Mad_Irishman · 09/03/2013 at 20:42
daniel,
all of the above mentioned players are solid and will finish with elite status come the end of the year. If you are asking who is best value for money out of those I would pick them in this order
1. Cotchin/Deledio – can't split them and see them both average 118
2. Selwood (Geelong) – will average 115-118 – consistent but can't see him kicking on from his current average
3. Boyd – oldest out of the lot – inconsistent and will become more of a mentor to the very young and talented up and coming mids at the dogs – average 110 but will have 10 scores below 100
hop that helps

The Old Dylan · 09/03/2013 at 23:59
That would have been a great pun if you were talking about North Melbourne…

Luke · 10/03/2013 at 20:03
Boyd inconsistent? Is that a joke? Obviously you have no clue if you think Boyd is inconsistent, he has averaged 30+ touches for the last 3 years. And average. 113 last year. How is that inconsistent?

John · 11/03/2013 at 12:07
Inconsistent isn't going on average. Mick is simply saying that Boyd will put out too many scores below 100… Also he may get 30 posessions but his efficiency isn't very high which makes him a better afl fantasy player.
Onto Daniels Question before I tell you what I think I'm taking Boyd out of this group… I think it depends on what your looking for deledio and Selwood are consistent and good PODS whereas Cotchin will score between 95-200.
I think if you want Cotchin you need to get 2 players who will always score more than 105 to put with him…
In Order
Selwood
Cotchin
deledio

Johnno · 11/03/2013 at 14:54
+1

Bomber Stef · 11/03/2013 at 20:00
Cotchin and J Selwood for me. Both will step up with their captaincies.
114.6 two year average for Selwood and 108.4 for Cotchin. Hard to split – Cotchin might not score as well when you have a gun tagger on him.

Vaswah · 12/03/2013 at 18:28
Boyd: 2012 – Played every game – 6 games under 100 (including a 96 & 97)
Selwood: 2012 – Played 16 Games – 3 games under 100 (including a 99)
Deledio: 2012 – Played 19 Games – 3 games under 100 (including a pair of 91's)
Cotchin: 2012 Played 18 Games – 2 games under 100 (98 & 99)
So Boyd seems the less consistent in pumping out those 100+ scores, but keep in mind in total points scored he is out in front due to playing every game. Pick your poison imo

Les · 09/03/2013 at 20:28
oh and in the prelim against collingwood he got 118 SC and in the GF against the hawks he got a massive 141

Smittzzy · 09/03/2013 at 21:14
Ive had him on my radar since day 1 could reach a reliable premium status. Great ball winner only thing he lacks is goal kicking. he is firmly in my side at the present

SCaddict · 09/03/2013 at 21:49
He is certainly a Swan on the rise. I would also place his team mate Luke Parker in that category who will hopefully shed the kermit vest for good this season and have a breakout year. Sadly I can't fit either in my squad but both certainly warrant selection consideration.

Smittzzy · 09/03/2013 at 21:15
All the tags will be on rich or rockliff as the better players i'd tip mate.

SCaddict · 09/03/2013 at 21:56
Yeah I agree. Redden will also attracts a fair amount of attention too. Hard at the ball players like Zorko are tough to tag anyway and the bugger never seems to stop running.
Really like the looks of the Lions this season and my forward line is presently chock full of them.

SCaddict · 09/03/2013 at 22:09
Wouldn't lose too much sleep on that one mate. Just pick the players you reckon represent the best value whether they be premiums, mid pricers or rooks or which team they play for. The rest of it will work itself out.
With the new bye scoring rules it's less important than previous years plus by time you get to the byes you will probably have traded at least a third of your starting team away so it will probably look a fair bit different anyway.
I have all those 3 Lions you have as well as Cornelius on my bench for a POD rather than Varcoe who every man and his dog will have!

Popey99 · 09/03/2013 at 22:30
Love that approach mate. Thanks for the opinion. (btw it is still me just logged in with intense debate account)

Popey99 · 09/03/2013 at 23:45
Big Sammy Jacobs is set for a massive year in my opionion. Both are just entering their prime as ruckmen and so I see them both being awesome picks in 2013.
Would say that Jacobs will average 107 and McEvoy 105.

Shimma · 10/03/2013 at 17:17
Agree with Popey99, McEvoy's output might decrease a little with Tom Hickey going to the saints

Bomber Stef · 11/03/2013 at 19:52
McEvoy has averaged 102.7 over the last 2 years and Jacobs 97.4.
If you factor in Jacobs improvement and the Hickey impact on McEvoy you'd take Jacobs by a nose.

Popey99 · 09/03/2013 at 23:36
Under 470k? If you don't have Heppell, then he's your man. Otherwise Watts or Broughton seem good buys with plenty of scope for improvement.

Shimma · 10/03/2013 at 17:18
Newman or Heppell would be good picks as well

SCaddict · 11/03/2013 at 18:50
Yes I would have JPK in my team if I could fit in 5 elite mids but alas I'll have to try and bring him in midseason.

Bomber Stef · 11/03/2013 at 19:48
Pearce!!
I am super keen on him this year. Should play predominantly through the midfield too.

jimbotraralgon · 11/03/2013 at 22:36
cox is a lock with sandy down. Quite a weak field in the rucks this year.

Kev · 10/03/2013 at 08:00
You're just about set there I reckon mate. Still got question marks over luey – if he was right I think we would have seen him this preseason a little bit.
With your DPP ruck swing open, I'd shift Cox up forward for Tex and have a play around with your rucks

Mathew · 11/03/2013 at 11:07
I would consider mundy over barlow. mundy has never had alot of people talking about him and 3 years ago he was top 5 scorer. so far his preseason looks good and 2nd year in after having a big injury. no reason he cant make it back to high prem levels again.

Bomber Stef · 11/03/2013 at 19:50
Looks good …
Bring in Ryder for Walker or Kennedy so you can have the ruck switch.
I would take Dusty over Zorko at this stage to free up some cash.
Take Kerridge over Daniher.

Russ · 10/03/2013 at 03:25
Giday Ryan, I'd consider maybe downgrading one of your premiums in the midfield for a midpriced good player or expensive rookie who can play..eg: Nick Lower, Koby Stevens..and transfer Zorko or Rockliffe to the midfield so they can interchange, then you could add Lecras, Varco, Byrnes or Sipposs to the fwd line…you want to make some money so you can upgrade…good luck mate.

Kev · 10/03/2013 at 08:06
Nothing wrong with a 4-1-5 mid set up mate, having a zorko or rocky in the guts is a waste imo.
Some bloody good teams coming together now, I like Jetta as a POD, haven't seen him in many teams at all.
Questions over Daniher, kid can play, but he is still firmly in the cotton wool.

Ryan · 10/03/2013 at 10:38
Yeah, Daniher worries me, but there really aren't too many other options in terms of rookie forwards that you hear about getting many games this season. Any ideas on one that I may have missed?

Shimma · 10/03/2013 at 17:21
Not too sure on his injured ankle, but I heard somewhere that Jake Stringer averaged 140 in TAC cup last year. Slight injury risk

Russ · 10/03/2013 at 03:18
I'd go Bennell just because he's younger, has bulked up a bit, is not returning from any injuries and, Gold Coast will win more games this year because they're all a bit harder and more experienced than last year.

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 03:26
Yeah I'd nudge slightly the way of Bennell too. GC also have an easier draw in the first 5 rounds. Both guys are solid selections though and should have good seasons.

mathew · 11/03/2013 at 11:09
Mundy. 2nd year back after a bad injury. full preseason under belt and was top 5 prem player 3 years ago. at his price even if he doesnt ave 100 u wont have lost money and can trade to an ultra.

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 10:11
Risky, very risky. If both bloke suffer a form drop and GAJ is till pumpin it out, you will basically derail your season then and there.

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 10:11
Yeah i like that thought. Certainly could be a factor.

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 13:51
Yeah although I reckon that one can go both ways. Also means that he will probably get even more shut down attention from the opposition than usual. That said Birchall is a quality player and a very consistent and proven performer so should be a popular selection in many teams.

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 11:47
Nah, it's not too bad. Maybe someone like Pendles would shore that up, but if you're confident with that, then go for it. You're missing someone btw.

Tom · 10/03/2013 at 12:02
WOOPS! Moloney's in there aswell

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 13:55
Nah don't sweat it mate. You have a stronger midfield than I do. In fact you could even sacrifice one of your premiums for another rookie or mid price cash cow but definitely nothing wrong with your current structure. Well done!

Shimma · 10/03/2013 at 17:23
too weak? You've got 5 premiums hahaha, it'll be a lot stronger than most I reckon

@LMcleanWatson · 10/03/2013 at 12:11
Leuy isn't set to play round 1. But might play round 2. So if you feel like he is worth it still then just swap in currie.

mathew · 11/03/2013 at 11:11
looks good but will Neade get games early?

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 11:41
Should play… And play well. Would prefer Koby Stevens though for a similar price.

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 11:40
Depends, if you want consistency and likeliness to play games then go for Koby, but Wines has massive scoring potential. I have Stevens in as a 100% lock.
Wines to average 78 from 17 games
Stevens to average 81 from 20 games.

Dee · 10/03/2013 at 12:09
Thanks Popey99…. It's just that I have to choose between them, I already have 5 rookies in my midfield…. Bradley Hill, Wines/Stevens, Jaeger, Mitchell and Viney. Any thoughts on Hill and Viney?! I reckon Hill is flying under the radar…. Not many have him in their team, a rookie and tipped to win the rising star?? Plus yesterday's performance was pretty impressive….. Thoughts? Plus I think Viney as a M6 is a must…. I just hope having 5 guns and 5 rookies will cut it in the midfield! I know most have a 6 and 4 setting…

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 12:35
I have a 5-5 setting at the moment if you count Fyfe as a premo. Haven't seen enough of Hill to make a judgement call, but from what I have seen I can tell you he will be inconsistent. Will bag some 90+ scores to go with the 50- ones.
To rank the top 6 rookie mids I would go;
1) Kane Mitchell
2) Jaeger O'Meara
3) Koby Stevens
4) Olli Wines
5) Brad Crouch
6) Jack Viney
Viney is a star, but may be Magner all over again? When he is playing as a free roamer, he will score well, but can see him used as a tagged also.

Dee · 10/03/2013 at 13:58
Hmmmm….. Thanks for that, just replaced Hill for Wines…. lol. Will Viney play Round 1 and will he play at least 15 games this year you reckon?

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 14:07
Absoulutely he will play, just dunno what kind of role. He is currently locked in on my bench.

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 14:17
Eeny meeny miny moe…..
I think both are going to develop into extremely fat cash cows so are both locks in my team. Yes Hill is very much high on my radar too and I will find a spot for him if named in round 1.
Hawks only real weakness (other than kicking truly between the big sticks at times!) is midfield pace and Hill may prove to be to be somewhat of a panacea there.

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 12:39
Staker is injured mate. Out for at least the first 2 rounds, up to a month I believe.

PortJared04 · 10/03/2013 at 12:39
Jacobs will be the #1 Supercoach ruck by the end of the year in my eyes, will average around 20 more than Smith I think, however if your getting smith to earn money then trade in for Nic Nat mid season? Could go for smith.

Tom · 10/03/2013 at 14:31
If Jacobs is gonna be the #1 ruck by year's end, then he could be my R1 for the whole season, and i won't have to use a trade up, which is what i would have to do if i had Smith. I'm going with Jacobs

Kev · 10/03/2013 at 13:04
Many are going with one premium ruck and cox up fwd, rolling the dice on a mid priced R2. If the mid pricer flops early cox can shift into the ruck line and you'll be able to grab one of the many mid price fwd options this year

Ross · 10/03/2013 at 20:20
Les I did what you are considering. Not sold on Leuenberger. At least Cox & Jacobs will get you 100+ each week. Leuenberger not at full fitness. I took out Johnson & put in Varcoe.

Tom · 10/03/2013 at 12:50
Depends on how much money you have left over, you want to have around $100k at the start of Round 1, so if getting Shuey leaves you with little money left over, go with Mundy.
Both of them will have a ripping year, I have Shuey in my team though. I somehow trust him more.

Kev · 10/03/2013 at 13:11
That depends on your strategy Tom, I'm not a fan of having money left over, I want the strongest possible team come round 1
PortJared – I think they'll average similar this year. Mundy looks to be over the broken leg but you never know with that injury, if he starts having hamstring tightness he could be in and out of the side. For that reason I'd go shuey

DEE · 10/03/2013 at 13:36
Fyfe will have a bigger season than Mundy this year…. If all goes well with he's shoulder looking at 100-110 average this year!

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 13:38
Mate you must go with either Shuey or Fyfe there I reckon. Shuey's output will considerably improve on a consistent basis this season, lock him in and he will pump out 115-120 ppg for you this year. Fyfe would be an absolute lock if he didn't have a few injury problems. He will average 115-120 this year if he stays on the park.

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 14:26
Yeah Currie will be either R3 or R4 in over 90% of teams this season. Certainly I viable R2 option as well if you want to spend your coin elsewhere.
But in that case you would probably want to also have either Cox, Hale, Ryder or Roughie in your forward line to swap into the ruck in case he falls out of favour during the season to Goldy or a extra spot is freed up in some games for Daw as a forward with part time ruck duties.

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 14:41
Yeah, I currently have Currie @R2 with Coxy in the forward line and Rowe on my RUC bench.
Prepared to exactly that as i don't have a rookie on the field in my forward line due to free cash not used in the RUC's. Basically, the way i see it, I'd honestly prefer to have Currie on the field than Macaffer. In the end, it isn't that big of risk once in context.

Tom · 10/03/2013 at 14:44
So are you saying to ditch Berger and have Currie as R2?

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 15:34
Yep, that's what I'm doing. If the big Berger finds form early i'll get him in.

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 14:58
Sounds like a solid plan to me.

Andy · 10/03/2013 at 21:01
You could minimise your risk by having Daw as R3 or R4, that way the odds are if Currie doesn't play, Daw will.

Popey99 · 11/03/2013 at 09:09
That's also what I'm doing. Have Rowe and Daw as insurance on the bench, with the big Cox in the forwards. Also contemplating Ryder in the forwards for even more security.

Spifflicator · 10/03/2013 at 21:36
I got both of 'em 🙂

Azz · 12/03/2013 at 11:37
where did you find the supercoach points?

Jimmy · 10/03/2013 at 14:01
What are your thought in Josh J Kennedy. did kick 5.3 in nab cup last game. Would you reccomend him over Lecras?

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 14:39
I'm seriously considering him myself. I expect Lecras to score more consistently but JJK is $70K cheaper so that's a tough one.

AFL Guru · 11/03/2013 at 17:07
JJK is a suicide selection

SCaddict · 11/03/2013 at 17:46
He averaged 86 in SC in 2011 which saw him shoot up in value to around $500K at various stages that year. That's 15 ppg more than Varcoe achieved in 2011 who's the flavour of the month around here!
Obviously last year was a write off with the ankle injury but he seems well past that now slotting 5 majors in a losing effort to Port last weekend.
He's also entering prime time for a key forward at still only 25yrs old. With the emerging midfield power of the Eagles with Gaff, Shuey, Masten, Priddis, Selwood and Wellingham he should get plenty of opportunities to be fed with the ball.
So certainly worthy of consideration I would've thought at under $300K. I reckon he's a nice POD actually so I've found a spot for him in my team.

Ando · 10/03/2013 at 16:20
If you downgraded a midfield gun (Ablett,Swan,Danger) to someone like Fyfe/Hannebery you could then spend that extra cash on a mid price forward (Karny/Varcoe/Lecras)

PortJared04 · 10/03/2013 at 14:30
Have both in my side, Pendles for consistency, 2nd best Supercoacher in my eyes. Dangerfield can pump out huge scores but won't be as consistent as Pendles who will probably average around 120. Will only miss one or two through resting?

Tom · 10/03/2013 at 14:36
How can I fit both in my mid though??
DEF: Goddard, Gibbs, Heppell, Atley, Vlastuin, Goodes
MID: Ablett, Pendles, Swallow, Shuey, Bennell, Moloney, K.Mitchell, O'meara
RUC: Jacobs, Leuenberger
FWD: Cox, Rockliff, Zorko, Siposs, Varcoe, Macaffer
$33k left over,
what can i change to fit Dangerfield and Pendles?

PortJared04 · 10/03/2013 at 14:45
Like your team a lot, maybe just keep one. And Pendles > Dangerfield.
Keep as is.

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 14:46
Downgrade Moloney to a rookie, upgrade Bennell/Swallow to Danger. But I like your mid as it is.

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 14:43
Pendles over Danger for me, but I can see both being top 5 mids at the end of the year. Pendles will play every game this year imo, so don't worry about that.

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 14:46
Would expect Pendles to have both the higher average and the higher total points when it's all said and done although Danger will be right up there again too.
Whilst Pendles missed 4 games last season with the fracture he only missed 4 games the previous 4 regular seasons combined!
If you already have either Swan or Beams I would pick Danger to give yourself another team captain option to the Pies but otherwise I'd lean ever so slightly towards Pendles especially if your are talking the M1 or M2 position.

Tom · 10/03/2013 at 14:50
Thanks for your input guys! I guess it'll come down to how the rest of my team ends up by the start of R1, i'll look to have both of them in there, but at the moment i'll keep Pendles in there and leave Danger.
I don't think i'll downgrade moloney and then upgrade swallow or bennell, i feel that they will be good smokie picks throughout the year, i know not many people will have them, whereas a lot will have Dangerfield.
This is where Supercoach does your head in! :S

PortJared04 · 10/03/2013 at 15:39
Bartel for Broughton would free up cash?

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 16:01
Very potent team you have formed there Adam. Love your choice of elite mids. Would pick those 5 guys myself but with the strategy I'm pursuing can only fit in 3 of them at the start so JPK and Cotch will have to become mid season acquisitions for my team.
Yes I reckon Stevie J would be preferable to Jimmy for the money.

Kalan · 10/03/2013 at 16:29
fyfe is an injury risk, injury scare yesterday on the reconstructed sholder

Ando · 10/03/2013 at 16:45
True, i hadn't considered that. Frees up some cash too. Cheers

Jimmy · 10/03/2013 at 17:20
I suggest moloney or fye. Would probably not want 3 gold coast players in your midfield. (just a hint)

Shimma · 10/03/2013 at 17:35
6 spots available in the MID cheat sheet spot, surely you're not saying you would put Montagna in the top 6 for discussion

Ross Was Lyon · 10/03/2013 at 21:00
My word I would his NAB cup stats don’t lie, Montagna is flying and at 530k he is under priced in a big way

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 17:42
Hey Jock is a Saints man so I'm sure he would have considered him if he was worthy of inclusion on a very short list of the AFLs best. Haven't seem him named in many teams so perhaps keep him as your secret POD!
But well down on my draft list and many others I'm guessing.

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 17:47
There's isn't much not to like about these selections Benno. Only slight area of concern is the bottom end of your forward line but that's a common problem for many and certainly can be lived with.

Benno · 10/03/2013 at 18:41
Thanks SCa, what are your thoughts about going…
Out: Jacobs, Dwyer
In: Zac Smith, Karnezis
And then swinging cox to start R1 and Smith R2
I've been liking the look Karnezis and Smith, it also helps to beef up my forwards a bit.
Cheers

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 20:12
It's a hard call as Jacobs is a proven premium ruckman and Smith is still yet to emerge although looking likely to improve this season. But yes like your idea of swinging Cox into R1 at least temporarily and I reckon you won't be disappointed selecting young Karny in your forward line.
Dwyer although very well credentialled and talented seems long down the list of rookie starters trying to crack into that Pies star studded midfield with Swan, Pendles, Harry O, Daisy and eventually Ball all to come back into the side over the coming weeks.
I guess Leuey is the other one to consider for R2 over Smith as he's produced premium output before his injury. And if he isn't able to front up for Rd 1 for some reason then his team mate Longer is another one to seriously look at who actually looked pretty good last night against Jolly.

Mdawgga · 11/03/2013 at 12:36
Harry o midfield mate your kidding me? Whatta bout Blair beams sidy and fasolo shaw getting swung In there…

SCaddict · 11/03/2013 at 17:05
With Russell's acquisition in the off-season there's talk of Harry O getting time on the wing which last time I looked is counted as part of the midfield. Blair, Beams and Sidy all played on the weekend so they aren't new additions.
But indeed all those guys will get game time in the midfield so it makes Dwyers job nearly impossible of getting any games at all unless there are significant midfield injuries at the Pies.

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 17:55
Yes some players just have more appeal than other completely valid alternatives. Also we've seen much more of Goddard in the pre-season plus all the talk of him being the prize off season acquisition makes him hard to ignore.
But absolutely nothing wrong picking Shaw instead as a consistent premium output defender.

Mdawgga · 11/03/2013 at 12:37
Shaw doesn't start well… All his scores come from rd 10/11 onwards

SCaddict · 11/03/2013 at 17:12
Not true at all! He scored very well in the first half of the season last year in both DT and SC until he picked up that calf injury in Rd 9. Ditto in 2011.

Zorko and Shuey

PortJared04 · 10/03/2013 at 19:49
Zorko, Shuey!!

Jimmy · 10/03/2013 at 19:53
franklin and fyfe and use the 30 k for bennell = lance franklin and harley bennell

Eagle · 11/03/2013 at 18:01
Silly Jimmy that selection is -30k u dill
:o)

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 20:12
Zorko and Shuey!! Every day. #Consistency

Spifflicator · 10/03/2013 at 21:45
Franklin is fools gold. Will score massive some weeks but he just doesn't play enough to justify spending 600k on a player who hasn't played more than 19 games for the last 3 seasons due to ill discipline and mysterious hammy injuries.
In terms of total points for the year he was Hawthorns 5th best forward in 2012 and only 20th overall. He MIGHT win you a league game or two, but he will lose you the $50k.
No Buddy Love for me

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 20:31
Wow I give you props man for coming up with a team quite different to many here.
I could say I prefer this guy or that guy myself but it's actually good to see a bit of diversity so well done and good luck in your comps.

Adam Williams · 10/03/2013 at 20:39
cheers man, my third year i think? first time barely got near 1800 points per round, second year up to 1800 ( i was not wise with my decisions back then ) ,
and now im hoping for 2000+ points per round average. Arrangements will be made as to who is going to be going on my bench, and whos in the squad of 22 🙂
any thoughts on some small swaps, i feel i have a solid structure, though at the same time i feel a few players could have better playing potential than the ones i've chosen.
What SLIGHT changes would you change to this structure/team? Cheers. i will be keeping the same rough idea on team, but just a few minor changes im hoping i can put into action. THANKS MAN ! P.S sorry this message is a bit jumbled up. 😀

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 23:06
As my team is significantly different there's probably little value getting into individuals too much. For instance we don't share a single player in the forward line so I'm obviously going to have quite different views to you.
But I would say in general terms you should try and populate your midfield purely with midfield specialists and insert the DPPs in your forward and back lines. You want to have as many midfield types in your team by time you get to the finals as they tend to produce the highest fantasy scores.
So I would try and move Zorko into your forward line if you can for say either Chappy or Rioli. Then you could perhaps replace Zorko in the midfield with another rising star like say Bennell or Shuey.
As Shimma mentioned Scotland is probably a slightly risky proposition even though he has been a fantasy point generating machine in the past. Plus he's also been suspended for the first few games so perhaps consider Gibbs or Birchall instead.

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 23:18

But in general terms is a good idea to load up your midfield with midfield specialists and leave your DPPs for the other lines. You want to have as many midfield types throughout your entire team as they tend to produce the better fantasy scores.
So I would try and move Zorko into your forward line in place of say Chappy or Cyril. Then you could replace Zorko in your midfield with a rising midfield star such as Shuey, Fyfe or Bennel.
Also agree with Shimma on Scotland. He's no spring chicken any more plus he's been suspended the opening games of the season. So perhaps consider his team mate Gibbs instead or alternatively Birchall or Goddard at similar price points.

PortJared04 · 11/03/2013 at 11:57
Maybe just Scotland for Gibbs?

mathew · 11/03/2013 at 11:19
scotland will miss first 2 games because of club suspension isnt he?

SCaddict · 11/03/2013 at 17:26
Yes he will. Not really a factor if you are going for league wins as the comp doesn't start to Rd 3 and he's pretty unlikely to be cash cow material.
But I reckon there are other issues such as Scotland's age that count against him so prefer Goddard, Shaw and Gibbs myself for a D1.

SCaddict · 10/03/2013 at 20:43
I prefer Karny who has had a tremendous pre-season and I'm bullish on a lot of the young Lion players. However I could be in the minority as Jock has Varcoe currently listed in pole position on his mid priced cheat sheet.
I expect both to produce good scores and appreciate in value so just pick the one your gut likes the best. I honestly think you can't go wrong either way.

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 21:37
Karny if you have to choose one. Have both in my team though! Great picks either way. Karnezis coming into 3rd year so he has the more upside imo.

AFL Guru · 11/03/2013 at 22:15
Karny every day of the week, should have the same roof as Varco but less risk

Popey99 · 10/03/2013 at 21:32
I really, really like Lucas, but unfortunately doesn't fit my structure. Great buy.

Dean · 10/03/2013 at 22:44
Forgot Mitchell in Mids and Mitch Robinson in FWDS

Shimma · 11/03/2013 at 10:26
He's had a pretty average preseason, and there are better options around that price – Heppell, Watts, Grimes, Newman

Shimma · 11/03/2013 at 10:24
Bennell

Ryan · 11/03/2013 at 11:35
I think it's perfect, but that could be because it is exactly the same as mine. hahaha

Tom · 11/03/2013 at 11:40
It must be a good backline then! haha
I'll keep it just like that then 😉
thanks mate

PortJared04 · 11/03/2013 at 11:56
Awesome backline! I have the same, except I have Hartlett for Heppell

SCaddict · 11/03/2013 at 16:47
Yes almost a carbon copy of mine except I have Hartlett instead of Duffield.

Mdawgga · 11/03/2013 at 12:32
Vest for Vlaustin….

gareth · 11/03/2013 at 12:29
Forgot to mention i still have $76k in the bank
thanks gareth

Tom · 11/03/2013 at 12:48
Vest for Colquhoun….

Mdawgga · 11/03/2013 at 15:40
Neade will get it…

Popey99 · 11/03/2013 at 17:04
Watts mate. See plenty upside in the young fella

Luke · 11/03/2013 at 15:50
Also I have $26, 100 left in the bank.

PortJared04 · 11/03/2013 at 16:21
Swing rockliff into the FWD line and Colquhoun in the DEF. allowing 2 more spots in the midfield?
Also maybe B.Waters for a Heppell, Hartlett or even Broughton or Watts giving you more cash. Waters just too much of an injury risk and not worth the $520k in my eyes.

Luke · 11/03/2013 at 16:36
Thanks! Anything else you can suggest? How about trading Waters for Scotland, or is one Carlton player in the defense already enough?

PortJared04 · 11/03/2013 at 16:39
Like Scotland a lot but will miss first two rounds with suspension.
Don't be too bothered with having a certain amount of members from the same team in your side. Just pick the best team possible.

PortJared04 · 11/03/2013 at 16:41
Exact same midfield as myself, except for Mitchell, I have Viney.
So I like your mids a lot 😉

rbat75 · 11/03/2013 at 16:52
Yeah Viney is an interesting one, I'm having doubts that he will play at the beginning of the year & what impact he'll have. I've heard reports he will have a tagging role. Obviously none of this is set is stone, probably more minor edits right up until lock out. But always helps getting it out there.

Eagle · 11/03/2013 at 17:55
Good looking team.
I love the Wolf but can not pick a player who has a good chance of becoming injured.

rbat75 · 11/03/2013 at 18:11
Absolutely, he's been in and out of my team the past few weeks. I just have a feeling he might go big this year. See what happens in the next lot of games.

PortJared04 · 11/03/2013 at 17:30
I'd go Mundy for Benell, like A.Swallow this year.

PortJared04 · 11/03/2013 at 17:29
Varcoe

Eagle · 11/03/2013 at 17:51
neither but Varcoe if you must.

Popey99 · 11/03/2013 at 18:23
Varcoe, but if you don't have Karnezis or Kennedy then go one of them.

joel · 11/03/2013 at 19:01
kennedy or Karnezis ?

PortJared04 · 11/03/2013 at 19:26
Karnezis

Tom · 11/03/2013 at 17:19
So you suggest Shuey over Bennell?
Or would you rather Shuey over Swallow?

Mac · 11/03/2013 at 21:24
Shuey over Swallow for mine.

PortJared04 · 11/03/2013 at 17:51
I'd go Varcoe mate, solid option, and will save you cash. Karnezis a close 2nd

Bomber Stef · 11/03/2013 at 19:42
Varcoe should free up some cash.

Bomber Stef · 11/03/2013 at 19:56
Interesting pick to have Currie as your second ruckman.
I have a question mark over where McCaffer is going to fit into the pies line up.
Plenty of premiums in that midfield which looks good.

Mark · 11/03/2013 at 18:39
Josh Kennedy

Bomber Stef · 11/03/2013 at 19:54
Knights is an interesting pick their mate.
Question is how will he fit into the Tigers line up.
Plenty of better value forwards out there to consider.

THOUGHTS? · 11/03/2013 at 22:51
yeah considering shannon byrnes as a potential swap.

Bomber Stef · 11/03/2013 at 23:02
Shannon Byrnes is in my team. You would expect both he and Rodan to play each week pending injuries.

THOUGHTS? · 11/03/2013 at 23:02
or brent macaffer

Andrew · 11/03/2013 at 20:15
with $55000 left over

Monty · 11/03/2013 at 21:49
Bergrer is looking a tad risky now

Mac · 11/03/2013 at 21:21
Mitchell should be started by everyone – Viney on the bench.

AFL Guru · 11/03/2013 at 22:17
Zorko

Mac · 11/03/2013 at 21:22
Leaning towards stevenson but see who's named rnd 1.

Bomber Stef · 11/03/2013 at 22:59
What is the status on MaCaffer … is he going to be in the Pies top 22?

SCaddict · 12/03/2013 at 00:24
I reckon his JS is very iffy whether he's named for Rd 1 or not with Ball and Daisy returning from injury probably sooner rather than later.
Still unfortunately he's probably the best of the rookie forward options out there right now so beggars can't be choosers I suppose.

Shimma · 12/03/2013 at 13:54
Heppell and Jacobs

Shimma · 12/03/2013 at 13:54
Dangerfield

Nick · 12/03/2013 at 18:02
Changes- Rockliff out Shuey in.
Caddy out Gray in
Thoughts?

jimbotraralgon · 13/03/2013 at 10:28
hey nick.
i like boyd as a point of difference. I am a bit worried about plowman up back.
saad and stringer are massive risks (in fact I think stringer is injured isnt he?)
maybe mayes for stringer and sipos or casboult for Saad.
whitfield and plowman might be victim of the GWS rotation policy and probably wont play the whole season.
cheers

jimbotraralgon · 13/03/2013 at 10:17
cotchin i think there daniel.
cheers

Zaydos · 16/03/2013 at 13:09
Solid team but who is ur first rookie on the bench ( ive never heard of him )

Jon · 17/03/2013 at 17:55
Thanks zaydos.
Which rookie or position mate?
