Daniel Wells could be a good option.

Stickman · 15/02/2015 at 22:49
I feel a good M6 depends on how you see it. If you see a mdipricer like Wells, Rich, Thomas or even Langford averaging 100-110 I would say select them, and they could come handy as a M8 come seasons end or appreciate enough to be sideways traded to a fallen premium. If you don't see that average as realistic would go for a rookie such as Cripps, Biggs or Boekhorst who I see making a fair amount of cash. But early days to pick which rookies will be the cash cows yet.

t_mitch · 16/02/2015 at 11:50
i have swallow at m6, so do alot though so not a pod, save money elsewhere than m6, save money in D

nick · 21/02/2015 at 23:48
kruzer is out of action for 6 weeks probably massive risk having him in your team just saying that's all my rucks I have mummy and burger from Brisbane

nick · 21/02/2015 at 23:52
and don't get sucked in with all the hype like I have in the past when people start saying this player is having a great preseason rohan is crap never ever has had a good fantasy scorer danger is the same and the last few years swan has been looking bad as well just letting u know u could do better even tom Mitchell could be in and out of the team etc

Phil · 15/02/2015 at 22:12
Whoever gets tagged less

Ryan · 15/02/2015 at 22:17
Dangerfield a bigger tag target in your opinion?

Boris · 15/02/2015 at 22:38
I would go richard douglas mate, less than both of them, key component of that midfield and will really enjoy the phil walsh system. Should return to ultra premo status this year and a POD. Thank me later

Jai · 15/02/2015 at 22:41
Im a massive crows fan and i won't go near Dangerfield this season. Sure he will average over 100 but he is also 100% leaving at the end of the year and can't see him going full beast mode and posting those 175+ scores. But having said this i also think Sloane is at the top of his price curve… so sorry to be of not much help there haha. Id pick Wines over both. Which kills me to say but this is Supercoach and THIS IS BUSINESS

pauly peanuts · 15/02/2015 at 23:31
Jal, i like your reasoning,nice words ,you make a lot sense

phil · 16/02/2015 at 12:39
He has been in the past mate but Sloane had a pretty good year last year so you never know. For what its worth im gonna pick neither but consider both ad upgrade targets

Jai · 17/02/2015 at 12:46
Nice thinking. Both could be great upgrade targets if they dip near $500k at any stage

Phil · 15/02/2015 at 22:11
Hogan. From the little we've seen of him it looks like he likes to get up the field a bit and get involved, rather than a stay at home forward. Haven't seen any of Membrey but apparently he should get a game

skindog · 15/02/2015 at 22:38
Wow, who is your F1-F5?

@Rem_Wah · 15/02/2015 at 23:14
Goddard, Swan, Christensen, Salem, Clarke

nickk · 15/02/2015 at 22:40
Membrey, Hogan has no AFL experience besides some NAB cup and Membrey is a gun who was stuck behind Franklin and Tippett. Membrey will have a great year taking the number 2 tall aswell.

Jai · 15/02/2015 at 22:42
Hogan for mine. Membrey isn't too bad a pick tho

George · 16/02/2015 at 16:10
I’d have membrey as f6 and Hogan on the bench

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 17:01
Membrey *looked* really capable when I saw him play last year. Quick, agile, good hands and nice leading pattens. I really like him if your structure permits.

Mike · 18/02/2015 at 14:43
Membrey!? What tha? The guy plays like a key forward. That's problematic in itself but when you consider he's about as tall as a post box where's he going to get points, or even games from?

nick · 21/02/2015 at 23:56
I have gone neither instead gone fwd big nick roo lecras harly barnell jack martin think the boy will burn up the scores this year mitch clark and tom hawkings think he will kick 100 goals this year everyone will laugh at me when I say that

john · 15/02/2015 at 22:49
punt could pay off but risky! seedsman is another i think at 363k

Jai · 15/02/2015 at 22:59
Similar boat there hey

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 13:18
Jai, my gut tells me that Rampe will play the exact role that he was good at last year. I think McVeigh/Jetta/Heeney will play the Malceski role. That being said, Rampe won't *lose* you cash, but will you be happy at his current average?

Sarah · 17/02/2015 at 08:59
I like it but you'll need to change Kreuzer as he's already gone down with an injury. It's making me more sure of my ruck strategy of having bench cover. You might want to think about that too.

jockreynolds · 16/02/2015 at 18:06
But round 1 HJ? I had him penned in at D6 early days

Dools · 17/02/2015 at 20:10
HG Gonnnnnnnnnnnnnneee D6 rethink ……..

Stickman · 15/02/2015 at 23:07
At this stage hard to say, the NAB Challenge should shed more light on that. At the moment I see Brown, Bews, Goddard, Clurey and Whitecross. And would not be suprised if McKenzie, Viojo-Rainbow and Edwards can push.

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 13:32
Bews = shutdown small defender = BURNMAN

WombatsFC · 16/02/2015 at 15:51
Hi Loopy, don't be suprised if Jed is in a totally different role to last year. Watch the NAB and I reckon you'll see him playing a similar role to the one he played in u/18's. If he does (current training suggests that he might) he will be the the number one defender cash cow for 2015. Ideal D7,8

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 16:12
Big Big call there Wombats, Geelong have a habit of introduction slowly, slowly stuff ….. but you have made many a great call on this site in the past ….I will have a look see at him and get back to you mate.
Is the Juddernaught in your current team?

WombatsFC · 16/02/2015 at 16:21
No way mate he's 100% nuffa for SC. Actually he's currently M7

WombatsFC · 16/02/2015 at 17:01
Not if you blokes keep on shouting about it. Fortunately I have a backup 110+ POD

I N Pieman · 17/02/2015 at 12:15
Is that Juddy wombat. He will either be a great pic or he will break. Im tipping the latter

Muddiemoose · 17/02/2015 at 17:22
Or maybe Jack Stevens 😉

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 16:48
Wombats me hairy mate, I hope your right! I'd love my structure with Bews playing the role you suggest he might. Word is that Kelly is going to push back more into the guts, and Smedts will be given a crack at half back. I'm not sure that Billie with the *IE* has it in him to be honest. Enter the kid named JED.

MarcoPolo · 16/02/2015 at 01:39
Personally I'm not the biggest fan of ibbotson. I'd prefer Seedsman or hampton over him. And if i had that much in the kitty i would upgrade one of those premium mids for a super premo like JPK.

Cozza · 16/02/2015 at 15:28
Petracca out now for the year as well 🙁 You will obviously pick a replacement once R1 teams are named, but Lambert (the guy Crouching spoke about in the podcast) would be one to look at as a replacement.

WombatsFC · 16/02/2015 at 15:53
I don't think that too may of the educated souls that visit Jock Reynolds would have been considering Petracca anyway Cozza

jockreynolds · 16/02/2015 at 08:28
They'll head out this week BMo 😉

BMo · 16/02/2015 at 16:01
Awesome, love your work as always

Tom · 16/02/2015 at 08:53
depends on your other lines mate.
If your fwd or defence is struggling, I'd think youre better off downgrading to someone like Biggs/Cripps and upgrade elsewhere.

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 13:48
I'm a bit with Higgo here Throtts. If I'm not CERTAIN that my defensive rooks will score and play consistently, they will not be picked at Phil Ken Sebben (haha my sides name). I don't care if I have to bat as deep as cheap midpricers through D3-6. No more burnmen like Jed Bews!

jockreynolds · 16/02/2015 at 18:09
Evening VC and Throtts. I'm almost certain to go rookie/mid priced heavy down back then inject the quality as it becomes apparent. Gagging for the NAB lads!!

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 21:00
Mate, who do the bloody Cricket think they are eh? Delaying the effing season! I'm gagging for the NAB too mate. It's all a bit like dancing with your sister (Higgo/Mother) until it starts!

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 13:35
Ricky Henderson is the one. $300k and is a gun. Keep an eye on him in the NAB

shezza · 16/02/2015 at 17:27
Agreed.

jockreynolds · 16/02/2015 at 18:10
He did bring something different to the bungalow mate – like a young brushstroke of genius.

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 20:55
He's becoming a bloody fine young Austrayan Jock. He seems to be flourishing under your guidance (firecracker incident notwithstanding). I reckon he's nearly ready for you to start teaching him the-way-of-the-skirt!

Tyler · 16/02/2015 at 21:15

Should be a good league once it's full

Jye · 18/02/2015 at 18:47
Hey mate! I just made a league that needs filling 643564

Tyler · 16/02/2015 at 21:30
Got Taylor Adams in my team, thinking he's in for a breakout season

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 17:41
Maso
How is the jaw coming along mate???

MASO · 16/02/2015 at 21:45
Can eat again which is bloody good, plates and screw will stay in for rest of my life as a reminder of the time i had a rum with Crouching.

jockreynolds · 16/02/2015 at 18:11
You still keen on The Big Boy Maso? You've been on him since early doors

MASO · 16/02/2015 at 21:48
yup hanging them out there Jock he will be in my round 1 side unless injured

WombatsFC · 16/02/2015 at 15:58
Brilliant strategy on Premo def itchy. I'm on the same wavelength and thinking that my starting D1,2,3 will be my finishing D4,5,6

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 16:19
I have to agree with you Womby, I'm even cheaper in defence then INP still looking t Bews ……….

WombatsFC · 16/02/2015 at 16:26
Mate the community conversations that we had during defensive solution journey continue to grow in relevance with Lions, Eagles, and Hawks dropping off the field and rookies hiding in the forest. Suddenly the Swamp Wallabys call on Sammy Mayes is looking very shiny and even the Thai Fridges call on Jaksch, whom has now had a miraculous recovery and will play Nab, is looking good. Very spooky.

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 16:52
Mate I have applied your Therom, The Wombat Prime and Mayes is my D 3 and Swamp Wallby is correct after destruction down back at Lions, Waters is still a chance R1 but missing weeks of Pre Season in an older body is not good and the Jaksch call could be inspired mate

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 16:57
I fear you have been bitten by a slimy swamp mozzie and the Ross River fever has a hold of you! Even gnarly wombats aren't immune to that are they? Surely not Jakschschsh?! 🙂

WombatsFC · 16/02/2015 at 17:06
The thing is didn't make the call personally Loopy. If you follow the links in my Dimension traversing backline solution you'll see from the linked community conversation that the Jaksch name was put forward by an Asian spirit speaker who didn't even know that Aussie Rules was a game. She thought it was just a yobbo chant from the cricket.

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 17:08
He is a Blue is our Wombats so he knows of what the Thai Fridge likes …Did you know VC that Wombats and Thai Fridge did a desert trip???? It was all cosy after a brief stop in Broken Hill when the said fridge decided to demand more power, Wombats set it straight – Thai Fridge, some serious alone time and inhaled hallucinogens gave the birth to Jaksch not to be confused with ADL player

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 20:43
Our robust, hairy friend clearly operates on another level Dools.

white_line_fever · 16/02/2015 at 16:59
hush on the sammy mayes pick boys. the secret ingredient to a few defensive lines…..

WombatsFC · 16/02/2015 at 17:08
Not so secret wlf he was revealed as a potential D2-4 in mid January.

Ash · 16/02/2015 at 18:26
Maybe quiet about Pearce though?

WombatsFC · 16/02/2015 at 18:35
Hahaha I think if he survives until round 1 he might be the most popular defender

jockreynolds · 16/02/2015 at 18:12
I reckon this is the way to play DEF this year Pie. Like it

derek · 17/02/2015 at 13:04
how is this for a cheap DEF:
Newnes, Vlastuin, Ibbotson, Rohan, Waters, Whitecross (goddard, rainbow) $2,117k…cheap and risky?

phil · 16/02/2015 at 12:54
Youre not wrong General, im considering going against the norm and starting an almost all premium backline (minus Malceski – upgrade). i really rate the FWD rookies this year and thats where im thinking i might take the punt. I know the premiums are good there too, but the.only ones i see improving there numbers (thus making them underpriced) are Swan and Buddy, and perhaps a slight increase from Martin.
Sorry no paragraphs

I N Pieman · 16/02/2015 at 12:32
Everyone is training with the midfield group this time of year Tom. Certainly have a good close look in the nab. But your right with the garbage down back he’s certainly worth a look.

Scanlon · 16/02/2015 at 13:22
cheers pieman

jockreynolds · 16/02/2015 at 18:13
Gotta say – surprised with the volume of blokes with SD slotted into their DEFs.

Scanlon · 16/02/2015 at 19:29
Same here Jock, was wondering if I was missing something

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 20:38
Agreed Jock. Wombats makes a good point about him below however. He's unlikely to lose value. I put him in the same boat as Floggitier Lumumba. *May* end up going up 10-20k, but that's about it.

WombatsFC · 16/02/2015 at 16:07
Gday Tom, He had some time in the middle late last year and might get a few minutes in there again this year but it would be better for SC if he doesn't.
Last year was his first full preseason and he was good for 80+ running off half back and regularly delivered into f50 and kicked goals. Walker is still not training with the rest of the group and Simmo gets a pension card this year. Future looking Malthouse has Docherty Yarran inked for the Simmo Walker roles. Yarran is irregular so Doch is coaches first pick.
You wont lose money on him at 400k which means he will average the required points to justify starting D3 this year.

Scanlon · 16/02/2015 at 19:31
Thanks Wombat. Really helped me there mate!

derek · 17/02/2015 at 12:59
he too expensive.

Favalinko U Beauty · 16/02/2015 at 13:12
Think he will be a POD this year being a bye 12 player. I don't think you can have Pendels and Steele in the same side and theres just to many other top shelf bye 12 players to consider Fyfe; JPK and Ablett

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 13:44
Scanlon, sidebottom could now be the one that opposition coaches put time into slowing down. Yes, he will spend more time as a bona fide midfielder this year with Beams leaving, buuut… the 2014 trend of hard tagging the creative, outside link up types like Sidey could be a death sentence for him. Think Stephen Hill, Pearce Hanley. With tag = sub 80, no tag 120+.

WombatsFC · 16/02/2015 at 16:11
I had him at M3 for a long time then I remembered that the only reason he ever got a kick was because the entire defensive focus of the opposition was on Pendle, Swan and Beams. 'Let sidebottom get it' was the opposition coaches strategy for regaining possession. This year Rectum Peripherus might get the attention of a tagger and I'm not sure that he has plums to deal with it.

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 16:23
Rectum Peripherus – Now that's a Keeper Not the player the nickname LOL

Stickman · 18/02/2015 at 15:44
Looks like a solid pick, will be a POD and they must have some faith in him if they increased his contract another 3 years. A lot of risk, but you never know better than some other options out there.

jockreynolds · 16/02/2015 at 18:15
G'day VC. I bloody love it when the Higg has a sherry. He'll never admit it – but I reckon he had 2 yesterday!

WombatsFC · 16/02/2015 at 16:19
I agree Marty. Using fwd/ruck swing to trade out an under-performing fwd to cover an injured ruck is crazy. Every supercoach knows that when a ruck breaks you shoot them and get a new one.
Higgo was on the Sherry and it shows with his comments, I'm sure that Jock and Crouching were doubled over pssing themselves laughing whilst Higgo tarnished his own good name with that Dribble.
Hopefully he'll have a listen to it when he's sober and make a public apology.

Marty · 16/02/2015 at 16:23
Glad it wasn't just me.

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 16:33
No Higgo tarnished his name 2 seasons ago with a dirge (a Higgo love sonnet) to Paige Cardona!!!
Last year it was some fool at WBD
This year he picked the same fool who now plays for NTH –
Higgo I love ya man – but Couching is just stringing you along and wasn't Burnman Boughton the big thing 3 years ago???
Every Family has one, We the JR Community have Higgo LOL

WombatsFC · 16/02/2015 at 16:37
Serious repeat offender. Lucky for him he's a genius when not on the grog.

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 16:47
There needs to be a poll from the community on the mad side of genius LOL

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 16:34
Peter has been grounded for sherry drinking whilst at the Tarp studios with out suitable adult supervision!!!

jockreynolds · 16/02/2015 at 18:18
His Mum is ropeable with him after yesterday. He's in serious trouble – will be all we can do to get him into the bungalow by next Sunday.

Marty · 16/02/2015 at 16:22
Jeepers. Bad new for the yound lad.

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 16:27
Out of the terrible news that is a silver lining INP.

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 16:38
Horrible news eh Pieman. So many of these top drafts picks with serious injuries the last few years…
Agree, Salem now VERY relevant. Angus Brayshaw too.

I N Pieman · 16/02/2015 at 16:57
Shocking news. Scharenberg late last year as well. Was looking forward to watching them both play. Bradshaw too expensive for a bloke with 0 games VC. But with 14 months to recover Petrecca will have a good tank barring set backs. And he will be cheap. Salem will get more mid time. And Vandenberg also shoots up the order. Opportunity in adversity.

Sarah · 17/02/2015 at 09:36
Agreed Pieman. I have him penciled in for next year too.

General Soreness · 17/02/2015 at 11:38
Shocking news, hope he bounces back well.

I N Pieman · 16/02/2015 at 17:00
If we see scharenberg at all this year TMac it won’t be till later in the year. No chance of round 1. About 5 months sice he did his ACL. Maybe later in the season downgrade.

T-MAC · 16/02/2015 at 17:12
Cheers Pieman, any comment on upgrades with that left over cash?

I N Pieman · 16/02/2015 at 20:00
Yes my friend send send Berger up to Nic Nat. If they were standing back to the wall in your school yard & you had to pick one who would it be. Simple answer. Both have talent. But Nic Nat is a super freak. Much better conditioned than ever before & no cox. Do it

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 20:33
Totally agree. NicNat 2nd picked for mine after Baby Jesus. I couldn't be more aroused by his 2015 prospects!

Nathan · 18/02/2015 at 14:17
who is baby Jesus?

vcloophole · 18/02/2015 at 15:29
Gary Ablett 🙂

Dools · 18/02/2015 at 18:14
🙂 Baby Jesus ….. Well done Fridge!!!

medadsson · 17/02/2015 at 14:51
I think you will regret getting off Walters, what will downgrading Walters and upgrading Biggs give you? In my opinion Walters ($383000) is the best mid priced fwd or mid going around. He will surpass his 2013 ave of 88, remember that he played with a bung knee last 5 games of 2013. Look at his final four games last year after an 18 week lay off! Don't do it or maybe yes do it as it makes him even more a POD 🙂

T-MAC · 16/02/2015 at 16:51
Cheers Dools. I heard Scharenberg was back to full training. I may just trade Scharenberg for McKenzie. Seedsman, I havent heard any news. Who would you suggest instead of Hibberd?

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 16:56
What coin do you wish to spend and what do you want from your D2??? Keeper or upgrade??? player from a Strong team or just a performer back there ??

T-MAC · 16/02/2015 at 17:12
Keeper. I don't really mind who, but I want a reliable scorer who can score 95+ weekly

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 17:20
Call me crazy but I have 2 for you to look at no make that 3
1. Kelly Geelong . Highly likey to maintain Mid role at Cats
2. Smith Adelaide . Build on a strong year and play in more wins then losses.
3. Broadbent Pt ADL . Strong team that will most likey play in A GF

T-MAC · 16/02/2015 at 17:32
Cheers Dools, I'm thinking Kelly is getting a little old. Smith I'm good with but will his price drop or do you believe he will go up more. Broadbent, very interesting. I'll look into him.

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 17:39
Hi mate
Remember the last GF Geelong won back in 2011 – To old, To slow! To Good!!! Old players have seen it all and teams need older players on field Kelly is still relevant, however I understand your point.
Instead of Kelly I will offer up a juicy prospect – Vlastuin

T-MAC · 16/02/2015 at 17:42
Vlastuin, you read my mind! But this is a D2 we are talking about… not sure wether he will give me the same output as Hibberd, Smith. What are your thoughts on Houli

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 17:49
Not on my radar T-MAC. He has some good games but no consistent output.
My reason for suggesting Vlastuin 2013 AVG 75. 2014 AVG 67. He is only 21 and best part he has had 2nd year blues I think he is very undervalued and will IMO hit the late 80's early 90's Bonus is DPP but not why you should pick him …

T-MAC · 16/02/2015 at 17:59
Thanks Dools, may just stick with Hibberd at the moment. Is Seedsman actually injured?

Dools · 16/02/2015 at 20:44
Went under the KNIFE 29 Jan 2015 for hip surgery

Ryan · 16/02/2015 at 18:29
Like the team rooboy,ruck stocks are a bit thin however, will be hoping to see a rookie priced ruckman in round 1

T-MAC · 16/02/2015 at 18:01
Hey Matt. Your Rucks could be your undoing. Have you considered getting one premo ruckman like Goldy? I don't really like Bartel. I'm a Geelong supporter and it hurts me to say this but Jimmy, has lost it a bit I reckon. I like the Wines pick, great young player.

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 18:38
I'm a feral Cats man too T-Mac. I feel ya re Jimmy.
Word from the Cats however, is that Jimmy is really covering the ground in the pre-season more than in recent seasons, and is looking to spend more time around the stoppages rather than inside 50. Interesting.

matt · 16/02/2015 at 21:03
Who do you feel is a better option than Jimmy?
Happy to go with Nic Nat – remember the scoring system has changed this season which means taps to advantage are more important – one of his stronger points

James · 16/02/2015 at 21:25
Fyfe has gotten himself injured again.

derek · 17/02/2015 at 12:51
I wouldn't worry about Fyfe injury. remember last year and there was talk that Selwood was injured, so no-one got him (I went StevieJ). he not only turned up round 1, he started the year on fire.

derek · 17/02/2015 at 12:49
who is J Lever? tell us more!

Sarah · 17/02/2015 at 15:29
Jake Lever is the crows first selection from last years draft. Key position defender who is elite in intercept possessions. There may be a spot in the crows back 6 for him so one to watch closely.

Derek · 17/02/2015 at 20:07
Thanks. Not keen omN key position players, need mid time

Shezza · 16/02/2015 at 18:58
gee whiz

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 18:29
Sam try posting your side in this format:
Example..
DEF: Smith, Hibberd, Shaw, Newnes, Whitecross, Brown [Goddard, Maynard]
MID: Ablett, Pendles, Selwood, Wines, B Crouch, Van Berlo, Biggs, Boekhorst [Heeney, Freeman, Vandenberg]
RUC: NicNat, Leuey, [Cox]
FWD: Goddard, Martin, Swan, Mitchell, Salem, Hogan, [Daniel. Lambert]
It's much easier for everyone to read and then give you feedback 🙂
You need to get Birchall out, as he is injured and will miss the next few months.
That being said, you've got a few ballzy POD picks in there. If you get em right (Rich and Rioli in particular) you'll get off to a fast start!

Are you trying to be annoying on purpose? You will not get any responses posting that nonsense above!

vcloophole · 16/02/2015 at 20:26
Nic Nat, Wines, Griff.
Had to sub NicNat in as Minnow is a flog of the highest order

Mcg · 17/02/2015 at 07:43
I would say either 1,2 or last favouring 1

Tyler · 16/02/2015 at 20:19
Also 146,000 in bank!

Sarah · 17/02/2015 at 15:26
I don't like TBC as a forward option. There are far too many premo forwards to choose from to fill one with a ruck. Kruezer is injured and will miss the start of the season. You may also want to watch Fyfe who injured his hamstring in training last week. N Brown has never been a good supercoach scorer so I'd put Goddard in for him, although Goddard is no certainty for round 1 either.
Love the Priddis selection. But I think you've gone for too many injury-cheap options. You need to balance these selections with solid durable selections.

Stickman · 18/02/2015 at 15:51
Sorry don't really like Hartlett he has never taken that next step. Would prefer Matthew Boyd, only 3k more and averaged over 100 in 6 of the last 7 years. He will should get more on-ball tome with Griffen gone. Also have not seen a team with him so will be a POD.

JoeWoolcock · 19/02/2015 at 22:11
Thanks mate, will take that into account. I know Hartlett has been dreadfully inconsistent in the past but thought that maybe 2015 would be the year he fulfills his potential. Boyd or Wines are more indeed reliable options round that price range

Cezza93 · 17/02/2015 at 14:19
Ive been hearing as late as after the byes.

OldOcker · 17/02/2015 at 03:47
Just a word of caution for you Redgumwon,
Smedts does appear to be good value on paper but Cameron Guthrie is being reported to be flying this preseason as well and is being relieved of his tagging role. Guthrie is a mid only and someone else has to get the tagging role. BUT WHO?
Watch the NAB games very closely.

Redgumwon · 17/02/2015 at 12:42
Thanks OldOcker I will watch the NAB Cup very closely indeed. It's getting pretty hard to spot the cheap value down the back half this year

Cezza93 · 17/02/2015 at 14:22
Currently in my side. As an avid Geelong supporter 2 things Smedts has is speed and a good set of hands. 2 things he lacks is a body of a man and gut running commitment. I reckon we could benefit from Smedts speed with the loss of Varcoe. He had some strong performances late in the year VFL, watch the NAB, watch his fitness, watch how hes used. Could be a great POD

Redgumwon · 17/02/2015 at 19:54
Thanks Cezza93 it sounds like a plan and if the kid can keep improving we might be on a winner here

Mike · 18/02/2015 at 14:51
Cezza, What's Thurlow going to do this year? Will he be in the team?

pauly walnuts · 16/02/2015 at 22:19
mate id go Hendo, after his injury and a few games last year the word is that he is training the house down, with all going well i can see him adding 100k plus to his value,plus i dint rate Ibbo

Cyril is Delicious · 16/02/2015 at 22:40
thanks mate. i will go henderson!!!

Cezza93 · 17/02/2015 at 14:23
Henderson? I'd take Ibbo everytime unless i'm missing something.

Sarah · 17/02/2015 at 15:22
Ibbo's supercoach scoring history is average at best. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about.

Cezza93 · 17/02/2015 at 20:52
Fair call, however Freo are talking him up like nobody's business this preseason. If he plays the backline sweeper like he did in 2013 i reckon hes got in over Hendo

vinnymac · 16/02/2015 at 23:26
I have a feeling Ward and Boak will avg very similar to last year if not slightly higher – both in their prime and surrounded by upcoming guns.

Previously On Lost · 17/02/2015 at 12:59
Ward all the way. It will be interesting to see how the GWS mids score as there will be at least 5 who could average 105 + in Ward, Trelor, Griffin, Green, Coniglio

Kev · 17/02/2015 at 18:00
Jeez I love it when I'm right haha. Doesn't happen too often in supercoach!

Sarah · 17/02/2015 at 14:10
Last year… with Cox 86, without Cox 120. Significant!!! He did only play 5 games without Cox though last year. Still, very good numbers.

Sarah · 17/02/2015 at 14:34
That should be 81 without Cox.

General Soreness · 17/02/2015 at 11:37
Was delisted then taken up as a Rookie, Turns 31 today, purely a backup option only not relevant for SC without upgrade and best 22 claims.

carlashirley90 · 17/02/2015 at 17:22
Ty for the info 🙂

James · 17/02/2015 at 11:04
I have 70k in the bank

General Soreness · 17/02/2015 at 11:39
Kruezer gone for 4-6 minimum will miss start of season.

James · 17/02/2015 at 13:28
I traded Leuenberger for Kreuzer now I have about 83k.

T-MAC · 17/02/2015 at 15:31
Never write your team in that format again. No one wants to look at it like that

Mike · 18/02/2015 at 14:57
Hibberd – ASADA?
Enright – Too old?
Waters, Whitecross – injury worries
James your defence needs some major work and some more money spent I reckon.
And yeah, take a look at how others format the teams when asking for help. Makes it easier to read.
Goodluck

James · 18/02/2015 at 19:04
Thanks

Stickman · 18/02/2015 at 15:54
I hate to say it after last year, but he could be a good pick. He is looking in good knick and over his leg injury.

Mike · 18/02/2015 at 18:42
If only he could ever get a hold of the ball. Watching him over the last few seasons (when he did play) he seems to have everything going for him. But he's been the total opposite of a ball magnet too.Runs around a lot, always a second behind where the ball was. I'm not sure but if he plays down back he might get it a bit more as the rebounder? A risky pick that might pay off.

James · 17/02/2015 at 14:16
I think Rance will average atleast 90 but not Harry Taylor.

I N Pieman · 17/02/2015 at 15:53
Nice one Kev. 9 Friday night games sounds like a lot though. Like your logic. Does this bloke have DPP.

kevwal · 17/02/2015 at 17:09
Unfortunately no.

kevwal · 17/02/2015 at 17:15
I have gone away from DPP rucks. Can't justify having TBC in my side, plus Paddy will probably be suspended.

kevwal · 17/02/2015 at 17:22
Agree with Wombats on rucks, if one goes down, get another.

Phil · 17/02/2015 at 20:38
I agree with that in theory, but sometimes they go down for 1 week and you don't get a heads up
Or
You have 2 other problems that week
Not having Derickx cost me at least 1 donut last year

northernsoul74 · 17/02/2015 at 14:49
I'd be looking at Bontempelli before Hrovat.

qwerty · 17/02/2015 at 15:51
Decent team there mate. Although, you are struggling a bit down back which could be adjusted by downgrading Jack Martin.

Trab Pukcip · 17/02/2015 at 17:53
Thanks qwerty,i have toyed with that idea a bit. A few tweeks, I may just turn martin into a rookie and turn white cross into newness. Really am against having rookie in the forward line on the field though after the carnage last year.

Kev · 17/02/2015 at 17:58
I prefer your set up, Trab. IMO none of the "premium" defence options will hold or increase in value before the byes so I think it's a better option to go with mid price selections until the top defenders reveal themselves. Leaving you money to spend elsewhere

James · 18/02/2015 at 19:39
A few too many key Forwards: Roughead, M. Clark and Hogan. Maybe trade Roughead and get a player who will get more disposals.

Phil · 17/02/2015 at 20:34
Shaw & Selwood for me Jack

Redgumwon · 17/02/2015 at 21:17
Hibberd / Selwood for me Jack

skindog · 17/02/2015 at 21:30
sweet

Redgumwon · 18/02/2015 at 16:36
I like him and now there is a little more depth in the GWS backline he may get of the chain more and score better

nick · 22/02/2015 at 00:19
there idiots if they are no one has done there home work or has the prospectus that's my home work that is why I have the team I do
