RATE MY TEAM MEGATHREAD
The JLT series is done and dusted and now we have to get stuck into sorting the wheat from the chaff, the good from the bad and the locks from the TRAPS!
Jump into the trenches and post your team as it stands post-JLT below! If you’ve got any questions for the podcast feel free to throw them in there as well.
Keep in mind we’ve made a few changes to the site to make it easier to search for everything we’ve done in the preseason. The PLAYERS 2018 tab drops down to allow you to search for all the defenders, midfielders, rucks and forwards by their price bracket, remembering a premium is $500,000 and above and a rookie is below $200,000.
We also covered every. single. bloody JLT game this preseason – huge shoutout to everyone who put pen to paper to cover one. Links to all of them are as follow:
Laird Hibberd Tuohy Mirra(E.)
Doedee Murray Finyalson Murphy
Mitchell(C.) Kelly Kelly(E.)

ZERRETT! Yes Carleton.
Question with not starting Danger – what's your plan to get him in? You'll need him ASAP and while he'll lose cash upgrading to a 650k mid in round five is going to be nearly impossible.
Well, he's barring that injury now, so there's that. I think with Dangerfield being pushed forward, his price will fluctuate a lot. Heck, even last year he dropped to $560,000 — and he was unstoppable that year. I'll grab him near round 7 when his price is down to $525,000.
LOL I dont see his price getting down to $525k.
Like I said, last year, his price got down to $560,000, and this was when the best player ever was playing in the midfield. Now, Ablett will push him forward and he's barring an injury. Have you ever seen a forward never dip to $525,000? Do your research.
Dreaming
Only reason his price dropped so much is because he got injured
There is the God factor. Cats are mid heavy which will effect sc scores
Would love some criticism… please please please!
Backs: Laird Hibberd Sicily Naughton Coffield Murray (Doedee, Finlayson)
Mids: Mitchell, Crouch, Zerrett, Fyfe, Cripps, Brayshaw, LDU (Kelly, Barry, Holman)
Rucks: Martin, Gawn (Cameron)
Forwards: Heeney, Walters, McLean, Petracca, Keeffe, Fritsch (Garlett, Ryan)
Have 4 starting Melbourne players, and intend to keep 3. Too many?
Not sure about my structure. Plus no elite forward rookies. Thinking of stacking the forward line with 5 premos and cutting out Coniglio for Brodie!
Missed Coniglio from my mids. Sorry
Hey Brent,
Have LDU, Keeffe and Garlett done enough in JLT to warrant inclusion?
Apart from that, a seriously interesting team.
How much cash left over?
I like LDU’s job security.
Not sure which other rookies replace Keeffe and Garlett?
Only have 60k left over
Solid team. I gather you plan to use Cogs and a rook plan to upgrade to Danger?
Also think you need to consider starting with some DPP swings for mids (Fogarty) and maybe Keefe with Sicily? Do you have cash for that?
Oops,
I see Keefe is there. Consider Fogarty or Stephenson over LDU at M7?
Small concern that Jed Lamb could shut down your D3 so easily becomes a bigger concern when 5 of your 8 defenders are rookies.
LDU is a slowburn and Barry unlikely to play, Coniglio is a waste of $ get a real UPrem like Neil, Kelly, Oliver.
Turn walters into Hogan and Garlett into Bell plus Brayshaw into Banfield and Coffield into brayshaw.
If that doesn't get you round 1 top score you can have your $0 back.
I have four Dees players as well,Hibberd, Oliver, Gawn, Petracca. My main worry with your side is Sicily, Brayshaw if it the Melbourne one and LDU. Your structure seems fine,although I think we can get away with 5 premos and 3 rookies on field in the mids this year.

Feedback would be good
Not bad Matt. I don't like JJ personally as he is a marked man and will be tagged out of most games. Not starting Danger is madness if you're chasing overall rank. I do like the inclusion of Bell instead of Christensen, and having O'meara and Armitage could be a master move providing points and cash for upgrades later. Good luck.
Hey Matt,
JJ and Bonner are a POD. Not familiar with Bell.
Who is your bench ruck?
Olango (WC) using loophole
I have been bagged out so much for have Sandilands from the start i think he could be a POD or a one game player then injured
We had pkays he scores really well, u know at some stage I’ll need to burn a trade but at $480k I’ll give him a go
If we could lock in 20 games from the big man I'd have no hesitation in picking him. Could do far worse.
I don't like Greene but it's a personal grudge more than anything – like the team!
Thoughts on my team guys? Got 107k left over. Danger hasn't been officially ruled out yet, so staying in my team for the time being.
Def: Hibberd, Laird, Sicily, Naughton, Doedee, Findlayson (Murray, Mirra)
Mid: Danger, Titch, Oliver, Fyfe, Pendles, Armo, Brayshaw, Barry, (Holman, Ahern, Kelly)
Ruc: Martin, Gawn (Olango)
Fwd: Heeney, Billings, McLean, Smith, Dawson, Ryan (Fritch, W Rioli )
Solid team Tommy. I like the rookies down back, all of them will probably play early rounds and provide cash for upgrades. Ahern in the mids is a concern but can be used as a DPP if not selected in early rounds, he'll get game time eventually. Pendles a good POD.
Yeah ahern won’t play, chucked banfield in there
Who's this Dawson bloke you've got at F5? Have I missed something
Dawson from Bris .. Has Dpp fwd/def
Yeah mainly just a placeholder atm
Def – Laird, P.Hanley, Hibberd (Melb), Naughton, Keefe , Doedee (Murray, Cummins)
Mid – Titch, Danger, Fyfe, THE Zorko,J Kelly, Brayshaw( FRE), Dow, Banfield, (Barry, Holman, T Kelly)
Rucks – Gawn,Sandilands (Cameron)
Fwd – Heeney, J Kennedy, Smith, Barlow, Christensen , Rioli (Ryan, Brown)
I really want to fit Lachie Neale in but dont know how any one know how i can fit him in but keep currtent mids as well
73K BANK
To get Neale (and he's a ripper – I've got the same conundrum), have you contemplated downgrading 2 of Barlow, Christensen or Smith to rooks and ditching Ahern?
J Kennedy??
DEF: Hurley, Hibberd, Sicily, Bonner, Doedee, Murray, Coffield, Naughton
MID: Danger, Titch, Neale, JPK, Cripps, LDU, Powell, Barry, Finlayson, Garlett, Kelly
RUC: Goldy, Gawn, Cameron
FWD: Heens, Dahl, Barlow, Curnow, Stephenson, Ahern, Ballenden, Fritsch.
OK.. few risks, but that's what I love!
Def – Laird, Hibbered, Siciliy, Naughton, O'shea, Murray (Finlayson, Doedee)
Mid – Martin, Kelly, Fyfe, Parker, Cripps, Coniglio, Brayshaw, Kelly (Banfield, Garlett, Barry)
Ruck – Gawn, Nankervis (Cameron)
Fwd – Heeney, Walters, Mclean, D. Smith, Christensen, Fogarty (Fritsch, Ryan)
Danger out gives me a nice spread across all lines with the extra 100k, goal is for Coniglio to increase enough to make the jump to danger eventually. I think my spread of players will make up for the points in the mean time. This is if he does miss….
Parker is a really good selection. He was the one who stood out for me this weekend.
I'd love to fit him in but I still prefer Cripps, just.
i'd have Parker ahead on Coniglio. Can you find $100k?
Love the forward line and the Parker pick up. Risk it for the biscuit!
not a big fan of mcLean. will be ok, but can't see him getting enough midfield time to be a top 6 forward. $470k is a lot

unsure of howe and clark but its a nice team but consider lycett as nic nat will be back soon and will only produce 50-65
Howe’s a solid pick. Had him last year and no complaints
Everyone seemed to jump the Lycett ship after watching him get towelled up
So tough to land the right mix. This starting team leaves no cash and a few risks, please comment, feedback….
D: Yeo, Laird, Hibberd, Naughton, Doedee, Murray (Murphy, Mihocek);
M: Danger, Titch, Dusty, Fyfe, Cripps, Cogs, Brayshaw, Barry (Kelly, Holman, Garlett);
R: Ryder, Gawn (Cameron):
F: Heeney, Lambert, Smith, Christensen, Fogarty, Ryan (Fritsh, Rioli).
The only thing worse than the forward rookies scoring potential is their job security. I think Christensen at F5 minimum. Possibly F6. Fogarty is a fine talent but he's hot & cold. Soon as he's cold he's off to the SANFL. A poor showing from any of Ryan Rioli or Fritsch could see them booted. Think Eddy & Pickett last year. I'd consider Finlayson down back. Other than that solid team Stevo
Thanks INP. To get Christensen down to F5 or 6 means someone like Cogs goes to find cash. Can’t bring myself to dropping Danger, even if he misses Round 1. I like Finlayson too, but to get him means Brayshaw makes way for Coffield or Hunter at M7. Other forward rook options?
i would prefer to start without Yeo and have an extra rookie in defense and go an extra keeper in the forward line.
Hi Derek.
Interesting option. Will have a look. Thanks.
Hi Derek. After a bit of juggling, extra rookie in defence and larger spread of fwds. Rather than Billings or Greene and a mid price, I’m thinking Petraca and Sicily. How does this shape up?
D: Laird, Hibberd, Naughton, Doedee, Murray, Finlayson (Keefe, Murphy);
M: Danger, Titch, Dusty, Fyfe, Cripps, Cogs, Brayshaw, Barry (Kelly, Garlett, Holman);
R: Ryder, Gawn (Cameron);
F: Heeney, Lambert, Smith, Petraca, Sicily, Fritsch (Ryan, Ahern).
Rookie picks all selection dependant of course
i don't mind that set up. something i've been tinkering with ever since Shaw got booted, just go with 2 defenders. dropping Yeo & Christensen gives you petracca and Sicily
you have keeffe to swing Sicily back if needed so it could be Sicily at D3
have a look at Bell and McCartin instead of having Sicily and Ahern
Interesting option de McCartin & Bell though Sicily provides an X factor and dpp swing. Ahern may not play so might look to other options around his price.
Hi Steve, I'd also punt Yeo for now for maybe someone like Shaw, Ryan or Siciflog..and get Finlayson in for Mihocek.
Also you could consider punting ryder for say Nank, both options will save you biccies for better forwards.
You could add Petracca, Hogan, Robinson or cheaper options such as McCartin, as the other blokes said.
Good luck…solid side though 🙂 You'll do well.
Cheers Rusty. Updated team above. Have taken the path suggested by Derek and it lines up with your suggestions. Thanks and good luck too!

If Dangerfield is available, Dow would go to a rookie, Dalhaus to Petracca and Merrett to Dangerfield.
Dow not looking like a great selection. Try a cheaper rookie or straight swap to Will Brodie perhaps.

75K BANK
#I WANT NEALE
I have worked out how you could do it but some sacrifices needed to be made…… (obviously)
Hibberd down to L. Ryan
Sandilands down to Lycett
Dow up to Neale.
Should leave you $300 left….. Haha cant stretch ya dollar anymore than that.
Hanley down to Finlayson (GWS 123k)
Cumming down to Mihocek (Coll 102k)
Cameron down to 102k ruck OR J.Kennedy down to Billings
Then Dow up to Neale…
Also would consider Bailey Fritsch and Zac Giles-Langdon on your forward bench.

*concern 1: think my midfield doesn’t have enough pods
*concern 2: am I spending too much on kreuzer for a player with injury concerns after jlt2
Appreciate feedback community
Upgrade Cog to Titch
Concern 1 your team has no pods
Concern 2 Rd 14 bye
Concern 2 – freak injury that happened when treading on opponents foot. He'll be fine come the season proper.
Concern 3 should be one J. Sicily = flog
Anyone watched Tom Langdon Collingwood? POD defender, takes intercepts.. I reckon 90 ave.. whether that’s enough though. Liking Mundy for consistency up fed too.
Would love some feedback!

No way I'd touch Sandi.
how come
His legs don’t work anymore. Will play 10 games max
Did some changes lat night, still $455,200 to play around. Trying to minimise on having inflated priced rookies.
Back: Gone with 2-1-3
I bellieve Laird and Hibbo will be Top 6 defenders by end of season. Touhy will be a keeper he'll score around the same last year he loves to run up ground and kick a goal now and then CD loves that.
Rookies will depend on who gets named, surely Naughton is a certain starter.
Laird, Hibbo, Touhy
Naughton, Murray, O'connor
E: Keeffe, Murphy
Possible: Coffield, Doedee
Mids: Gone with 5-0-3
Not gonna take any chances with any mid price players in this position. Sticking with Uber premos and Rookies, we have fair bit of rookies to choose from here and backline.
***Danger may still come in the side over Zerrett***
Titch, Oliver, Kelly, Zerrett
Fyfe, Brayshaw, Finlayson, Banfield
E: Barry, Kelly, Holman
Possible: Stephenson, Brayshaw
Ruck: Love to get Martin in here if Kreuzer is not fit to play, but i don't like the idea of Gawn/Martin having the same bye = 0 in Round 13 as we don't have the luxury of Ruck/Fwd as last year.
***Kreuzer may still come in the side over Nank***
Gawn, Nank
E: Cameron
Fwd: Gone with 0-4-2
Fwd is a mid price feast this season for me, i don't see any of the fwd premos that's worth starting early. We have so many mid price players that will score around the same.
We are very limited with Rookies in this line, I'll probably end up just one rookie on ground.
Walters, McLean, Taylor
Petracca, Fogerty, Ryan
E: Waterman, Fritsch
Still have $455,200 to spend just before season starts.
Good luck to all can't wait for the season to begin.
Shout out to Lekdog, Patch and Kev for doing a great job during the JLT and keep the podcast going boys you're doing a fantastic job. I'm sure you lads will get heaps better in time, most us in here just got too use of hearing Jock, Higgo and Crouching. Sometimes NEW can be overwhelming and takes time to take in.
Looks good, which Brayshaw is in your mids on field? And which is a possible addition?
Also I'm doubtful Darcy Fogarty will play enough to make us money. Look at the guys the Crows buried in the SANFL lately – Greenwood, Ellis-Yolmen, Doedee, Wigg (now at GCS) all deserved a debut way earlier than they received one.
Andrew Brayshaw(Freo), yeah we are very thin with rookies up fwd. Christensen may still slide at F5 and have 1 Rookie on field. We'll see who gets a run or not.
Oh i see i doubled Brayshaw. For Possible could be Brodie
Not a bad side at all Doncs! I have the same blokes at D1 AND D2. They are must haves IMO. Tuohy is a nice POD. Should serve you well. The rookies look good, but I prefer Doedee over O'Connor though. Your midfield right on the money. Love the Zerrett pick. The rooks are the same as mine. I am running with NankerGawn as well. Kruezer is an upgrade target later. Your forward line is potentially your achilles heel and perhaps needs another look. I reckon you need to find room for one premo such as Heeney, Billings or Devon Smith. Lewis Taylor, is an interesting one. Hope that pick comes off for you. I have decided to pick Cameron Rayner as a young rook up there. I reckon his selection will be a huge POD. His job security should be great, he is the number one draft pick, and he improved dramatically in yesterday's JLT game. The kid is finding his feet and is only going to get better IMO. Good luck to a big season mate!
Thanks TH
At the moment the rookies i have listed will depend on who gets a run in round 1 will change later on.
I like how Taylor played last year(my Crouch of 2017), and he's shown me enough both JLT games to slot him in my team.
Rayner is certainly another rook to consider up fwd, can't wait for the team line up in two weeks.
Good to ya too mate<img draggable="false" class="emoji" alt="👍" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2.4/svg/1f44d.svg"> and thanks
Who is Taylor? Harry Taylor?
Lewis Taylor from Brissy
i want to pick Taylor, every time a watch him i think that he is a must have. but then i don't see him for a quarter.

160k in the bank – so when Danger is back I will upgrade worst performing fwd to him.
How do you plan on trading a forward to Danger with no mid/fwd swing?
that will be Sicily.
Cull a forward to a non-playing rookie for the loophole and then upgrade a mid rookie to Danger
If you are planning to trade under performing fwds then naturally their price will have dropped. Using your $160k bank and a fallen fwd doesn’t add up to the price of Danger. Will take multiple trades … unless you wait for 7or 8 weeks… and will still need minimum of 2 trades.
Agree with Brownlow Boy. I'm not sure how you can pull that move off with no Mid DPP's
Alright, I have spent every moment on my team, quit my job and moved to an isolated place near 100km from Wagga Wagga to focus on my supercoach team. It is finally fini……almost finish…….not really fi………incomplete and I am still changing players around daily. So, community, what do you think of this.

Thank you community for your bountiful insights
Like the Parker pick, very nice looking team!
Why the nank selection? Also a big fan of the Parker pick. Solid team! Not sold on Fogarty and waterman with tex and jjk to come back in even if they get named round one it would suck to have them play two games then the big boys come back in and you got two stanky rookies doing 0 for you
Nank was the only other well performing Ruck in the JLT
having kelly and Coniglio seems too much GWS midfield to me. There are so many of them i just worry they will be taking points away from each other. Hooper and Griffin still to come in.
i think Kelly will do similar to last year, but that is what you are paying for, can't see much upside for him with so much competition. Same with Coniglio, will average 100, so a bit of cash to be made, but not a long term option
Coniglio averaged 112.5 over JLT with a high of 130 and a low of 95. If he keeps that up, or even takes 5 average off, he's a keeper. Josh Kelly averaged 122 with consistent scoring, 127 and 117.Look at the Sydney midfield of 2016. All averaged 110+
Very good thinking
Also like the Parker pick i actually put a few bucks on him for the brownlow this year, although i do not have him as yet stupidity at its highest.
I'd Trade out Danger for another mid rook (Constable). T Kelly to M7. Then you can upgrade all your middling players to Ubers
I'm holding Danger and hoping he becomes a POD. He's too valuable and expensive to bring in later in the season and I see too much value in the midpricers I have. Coniglio averaged highly 2 years ago and only dropped due to injury and the same with Parker who had a very successful JLT series, averaging 113 points.
You think Coniglio will ave 110? Otherwise you’ll most likely have to trade him out. He’d probably need 105 minimum to keep
Would some thoughts on my team, especially some of the POD's (I'll list them at the bottom).
B: Laird, McGovern, Savage, Naughton, O'Shea, Murray (Doedee, Finlayson)
M: Danger, Titch, Fyfe, Beams, Cripps, Armo, Brayshaw (Fre), Banfield (Kelly, Barry, Holman)
R: Martin, Gawn (Cameron)
F: Billings, Smith, Petracca, Sicily, Tom Bell?, Keeffe (Fritsch, Ryan)
103K in the bank.
I originally had Christensen in at F5, but Bell looking to be the better player at the same price tag, and a major POD!
If Danger doesn't play, I will mostly likely put Zerret or the likes in and upgrade O'Shea or Naughton to a better defender.
Thoughts on the forward line? Especially someone like Sicily, is there any good alternatives as I have a bit of cash to spend!
Cheers.
Sicily is a lock, like the look of bell as opposed to Christensen, I’m going in with him because fwd rookies are terrible. Beams will most likely worsen his scoring though
I don't think Bell will go that well (Haha it rhymes) if you're looking at him for a keeper…… stop. If you're looking at him for cash gen….. maybe? Before their bye, they play Essendon, Sydney, Giants, Richmond, Adelaide, Port, Melbourne and St.Kilda and they only have the teams of Collingwood, Hawthorn, Bulldogs and North for compensation. it's why I'm looking at Zorko, and potentially Beams, as an upgrade target.
Other cash Cows at that range include Josh Dunkley (94 JLT avg.), Mason Cox (104), Darcy MacPherson (90.5 avg. and my favourite because of their easy line-up and early bye), and Matt Tabener (122.5, 325k). Tom Bell got 94 avg. and fairly consistent scoring 80 and 108, but it's all your choice in the end isn't it
Think we’re in trouble if we’re considering any of those players for our team. Which we are 🤦🏼♂️ McPherson for example ave mid 40’s last year over 8 games
Def – Hurley, Hibberd, Savage, Naughton, Murray, Doedee (Finlayson, O’Connor)
Mid – Dusty, Titch, Kelly, Crouch, Zerrett, Fyfe, Brayshaw, Barry (Kelly, Holman, Banfield)
Ruck – Gawn, Nank (Cameron)
Fwd – Boak, Smith, Petracca, Sicily, Ryan, Fritsch (Garlett, Rioli)
Mid priced madness in the forward line I know but I can’t see any real standouts in the premiums this year, send some thoughts my way guys cheers
Probably to many mid price in the forward, bit to much risk in there. No guarantee any of them will be in the top 6 so if your going for the best squad it’s a lot of trade burn waiting to happen.
Make sure you have the player you think will score the highest, and two in the top 10 for each line-up. I'm talking about the forward line of course where personally I only think 2 will make top 10 and the rest top 15.
Hurley didn't have a great off-season and that was reflected in the JLTby scoring 72 points, he is a key defender also which is pseudonymous with unpredictability
tom langdon or devon smith?
Devon!!!!!!
Early days…rookies still TBC come round 1…Decided to go with No Danger, I repeat No Danger…will look to upgrade come round 5-6…
Backs: Laird, Hibberd, Sicily, Coffield, O'Shea, Doedee (Murray, Watson)
Midfield: Martin, Mitchell, Merrett, Fyfe, Beams, Armitage, A Brayshaw, Barry (Banfield, Kelly, Holman)
Ruck: Gawn, Sandilands (Cameron)
Forwards: Heeney, Dahlhaus, Cameron, D Smith, Bell, Ryan (Fritsch, Rioli)
Cheers guys!
How much money you got in the bank? Gonna be very hard to get him in round 5-6. Dunno about the sandy pick will breakdown at some point just a trade burn waiting to happen!
got around 50k…Hoping Danger will come down in price, and hoping Armitage starts the season of with a bang! Sandy pick is out there, but as a POD selection…not sure, my team will change so much before round 1 haha!
Cheers for the advice! 🙂
Cameron is a risk, he is absolutely unpredictable and likely will average similar
Backs:
Laird, hibberd, Sicily, Murray, doedee, Naughton (keefe, finnlayson)
Mids:
Danger, Martin, jkelly, Fyfe, treloar, Cripps, Brayshaw(freo), Kelly (Barry, Holman, Banfield)
Ruck:
Martin, Gawn (Cameron)
Forwards:
Heeny, McLean, Smith, bell, fristch, miers (Ryan, English
Any good forward rookies I can play on field have 50k in the bank
Sorry that’s my team above dunno why I wasn’t logged in. Considering going heeny down to Walters and putting Kruzer in. Have enough to straight put him in but don’t want to go in with only 2k in the bank
DEF: HURLEY, LAIRD, HIBBERD, O'SHEA, DOEDEE, MURRAY (KEEFFE, FINLAYSON)
MID: DANGER, DUSTY, MITCHELL, KELLY, FYFE, CRIPPS, TKELLY, BARRY (WIGG, BANFIELD, HOLMAN)
RUCK: GAWN, LYCETT (OLANGO)
FWD: HEENEY, BILLINGS, DSMITH, FOGARTY, WRIOLI, FRITSCH (AHERN,RYAN)
Rookies of course subject to change, but would appreciate to know if I'm missing any important ones
267k in bank
BE AS CRITICAL AS POSSIBLE
If you want to spend the money Brayshaw from freo looks very solid. Also definitely not sold on Lycett he got destroyed by Sandi and I can picture him getting smashed around by other rucks. That being said he does have a good run ruckman wise to start the season. But he plays witts, kruze, sandy, Ryder in a row from round 4 could be 4 rounds of sub 70s waiting to happen haha
Looking like a solid team, just a few points of concern:
– Not sure is O'Shea is best 22 at Carlton as of yet, we are stacked for talent in the backline and there are about 3 or 4 players vying for that last starting spot in our DEF. I'd swap him for Naughton who is a similar price.
– Harrison Wigg is out injured, so he will definitely not be named round 1. A good downgrade target later into the season though once he's on the bubble!
– I would be wary of Lycett, as he got absolutely destroyed solo rucking against Sandi, finishing the first quarter on -3! So he might still be a good pick, just not as enticing as before.
I'm off Lycett…..Sandi smashed the bejesus out of him……..I'm on Sandilands to rekindle that old form
DEF: LAIRD, HIBBERD, HOWE, BONNER, NAUGHTON, MURRAY (DOEDEE FINLAYSON)
MID: MARTIN MITCHELL DUNCAN FYFE CRIPPS BRAYSHAW BRODIE KELLY (BANFIELD CONSTABLE HOLMAN)
RUC: RYDER GAWN (CAMERON)
FWD: HEENEY BILLINGS SICILY CHRISTENSEN RAYNER FRITSCH (RYAN GILES-LANGDON)
320K IN BANK, GOING TO STRENGTHEN A FEW LINES OFC
An unbelievable amount of changes with no new team as set as the last. Its absolute carnage. Send help.
Anyway here's my LOCKED (lmao) team
DEF; Laird Hibberd Shaw (Murray)
Naughton Doedee Finlayson (Murphy)
MID; Titch Kelly Zerrett Neale Fyfe
Brayshaw (freo) Brodie Barry
(Banfield, Kelly, Holman)
RUCK; Martin Gawn (Cameron)
FWD; Billings, McLean, Walters, (Waterman)
Smith, Giles-Langdon, Fritschshch (Ryan)
338k in the bank. Not sure if i should leave money for danger, start danger, or be danger less.
My current version.
DEF: Laird, Hibberd, Savage, Shaw, Murray, Doedee (Keeffe, Mirra)
MID: Danger, Titch, Oliver, Crouch, Fyfe, Brayshaw, Kelly, Barry (Ahern, Banfield, Holman)
RUCK: Martin, Gawn (Cameron)
FWD: Greene, Walters, Mclean, Christensen, Ryan, Fritsch (Venables, Dear)
Possible Changes
DEF: Shaw out Witherden\Sicili, Bench rookies to change. Just place holders atm however if I dont go Sicily,Keeffe will stay for DPP
MID: Danger locked. Even if he is out for 2 he's still a lock. Ahern will change to another DPP rookie if there is a viable option. Not sold on Barry jut yet.
RUCK: LOCK!!!! Cameron most likely to become Olango for loophole.
FWD: Christensen will possibly become Bell. Bench rookies are placeholders however Dear may say due to DEF DPP unless a better option comes up.
Bye structure is pretty sold for Round 12 and 13. 14 like everyone else, will be a struggle but im hoping to fix that by then with upgrades.
$93.3k remaining.
Pretty happy at this stage.
Thoughts / Comments.
I think you can play one more rookie in defence and one less rookie up forward. Shaw out for a rookie – Finlayson , Naughton or O’Shea. One more forward. If you play Finlayson you could have your choice of premium forwards. If you remain a little concerned about rookies down back, then play Sicily or TMac in the forwards so you can switch them back as a corrective
Thanks for the advice on dropping fallen premo (Shaw) for a rookie and putting one more forward in. Wise choice with the lack of FWD rookies out there.
Ive made some adjustments.
DEF: Laird, Hibberd, Savage, Naughton, Murray, Doedee (Keeffe, Finlayson)
MID: Danger, Titch, Oliver, Crouch, Fyfe, Brayshaw, Banfield, Kelly (Barry, Ahern, Holman)
RUCK: Martin, Gawn (Cameron)
FWD: Greene, Walters, Mclean, Sicily, Bell, Ryan (Venables, Fritsch)
So now i'm thinking the following
DEF: Savage into Shaw or Witherden (Happy with Rookie selection)
MID: Oliver into Zorko (Ahern for another FWD DPP Rookie)
RUCK: Still no change (Cameron to Olango for Loophole)
FWD:Bell back to Christensen (Venables will change to another rookie)
Thoughts / opinions?
Really like it. Structure looks good. Can tinker with a few of the personnel, but looking good
Love some feedback on my team:
DEF: M. Hurley, R. Laird, P. Hanley, J. Sicily, T. Doedee, S. Murray (J. Finlayson, C. Ballenden)
MID: P. Dangerfield, T. Mitchell, J. Kelly, D. Zorko, N. Fyfe, A. Brayshaw, P. Dow, W. Brodie (T. Kelly, D. Barry, N. Holman)
RUCK: M. Gawn, A. Sandilands (D. Cameron)
FWD: M. Walters, T. McLean, D. Smith, C. Petracca, B. Fritsch, L. Ryan (L. Keeffe, J. Garlett)
All rookies obviously subject to change based on who is named round one.
Don't pick Hanley, did his shoulder yesterday so will be off most peoples lists now.
Banfield would be a better option over Dow
Sandilands is a huge risk but could pay off if he stays on the park because no one can beat him still
I agree with removing Dow, so I have done just that.
Sandi is a big risk every year, but I'm praying he lasts until round 11 so I can upgrade him to Ryder.
And I'm not overly concerned with Hanley's injury, as he wasn't too fussed when it popped out, and they managed to poop it back in relatively quickly, so I reckon he'll still line up round one. Of course if he isn't lining up round one I'll explore other options.
I meant pop, I swear I meant pop it back in
After the JLT team has had a lot of changes with structure and premos, but other than rookies, I reckon I'm pretty set for Round 1.
My team is
DEF: Hurley, Laird, Hibberd, Lloyd, Doedee, Finlayson (Murray, Watson)
MID: Titch, Kelly, Zerrett, Neale, Cripps, Coniglio, Barry, T.Kelly (Banfield, Garlett, Holman)
RUCK: Gawn, Cameron (Balta)
FWD: Heeney, Greene, Dahlhaus, D.Smith, Fritsch, Ryan (Kirby, Venables)
$85k in the bank
Thoughts are welcome
Think you have to find another $100k at lest somewhere to get Balta > Lycett and start Cameron at R3. Just can't fathom having so few point/possible 0 on field…
pretty gutsy with Cameron at R2.
have a think about Cox at F5
I know it is risky with Cameron at R2, could become Goldstein if he doesn't play. Did have Lycett, but unsure of whether he can get the job done now. Cox just seems to risky, trying to avoid midpricers where possible
DEF: Hurley, Rampe, L Ryan, Sicily, Guthrie, Coffield ( Doedee, Murray )
MID: Danger, Fyfe, Gibbs, Parker, Coniglio, Jaeger, Armitage, Brayshaw ( H Clark, T Kelly, Holman )
RUCK: Ryder, Gawn ( Cameron )
FWD: Greene, Lambert, Taberner, Bell, McCartin, Fogarty ( Keeffe, Fritsch )
Any tips welcome
Now i know Fyfe is #Lyfe but im thinking of replacing him with Lachie Neal, cause we all know this kid can throw monster scores during the season and as he did in the JLT2. Someone help me change my mind before i go insane
it was JLT…. that should change your mind.
yeah fair call
Bell and McCartin are in and out of my team.
Gibbs is a nice POD, I like when a seasoned player changes clubs, kind of like a mid life crisis, it can re ignite their game. You know he can play, nice move. Also Jaeger and Armo is a ballsy move that should be a winning move barring injury, I'm considering doing the same.
Mad
DEF: Laird Hibberd Howe
Naughton Doedee O' Shea (Murray, Finlayson)

11k in the bank
any thoughts would be appreciated
Caleb Marchbank (111/88, 89/83) Ave of 69.4 in his rookie year 381K
Callum Mills (80/59, 93/74) Ave of 73.3 Last year 403k
James Sicily (114/84, 57/88) Ave of 73.3 last year 403k
Thoughts on which one youd select and why?
Maybe Luke Ryan, averaged 76.8 in his first year (82/82, 108/85) 422k
Find $60k and get Lloyd, all seem to risky. But if I had to pick one Sicily
Lloyd struggles when mcveigh comes into the team, i recall seeing a screenshot of someone analyzing it and it definitely scared me off him. Also, finding 60k isnt exactly easy
Weitering
Try Marchbank
Marchbank could be good this year, he's got the build for being a good solid player,and makes good decisions, could really step up without Doch there.
