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:
NOW LET’S GET STUCK IN – HOW’S YOUR TEAM LOOKING?
Laird Hibberd Tuohy Mirra(E.) Doedee Murray Finyalson Murphy Mitchell(C.) Kelly Kelly(E.) Sloane Merrett(V.C.) Fyfe Barry Bontempelli O'Meara Banfield Holman Kreuzer Gawn Olango(E.) Heeney Greene Billings Garlett(E.) Fogarty Fritsch Ryan McCartin
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

Has Zac Dawson retired?

Just slot in Max Gawn then you're good to go.

Why didn't you pick L. Jones?
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?
Pretty good imo.
Just a brief comment on Fritsch job security.
Probably gets a start in r1 while Viney out. Viney back in r2 or 3 . Also Melbourne have a bit of a developmental pattern where they give rookies a bit of a taste then rest them or put them back to Casey. They did this with Hannan. Last year and Oliver the previous year. Fritsch has looked good but even if he gets a start he might be gone before he makes you any money.
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.
Laird Hibberd JJ
Bonner O’sgea Murray B: finlayson / Doedee
Martin, Mitchell, Oliver, Fyfe,
O’meara, Armitage, Brayshaw, Brodie
B: Banefield, Barry, Holman
Sandilands, Gawn
Franklin, Greene, Billings, Smith, Bell, Fritsch
B: Keefe, Garlett
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.

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… Read more »
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… Read more »
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
Like the logic with your side. Out of your Fwd's how many are you planning to be keepers, or are you happy to upgrade all positions there if need be ?
Thanks Goose
Out of the 4 mid price, 2 maybe 3 will be keepers. Last season i started with 3 premos and ended up with 1 as keeper. Wasted cash and trades, this season i think mid price players is the way to go up forward.
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.

No because theirs none up forward and it matters not a tot where they are !!
There are Fwd rookies just not as many.

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.

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… Read more »
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),… Read more »

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…

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

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… Read more »
I'm off Lycett…..Sandi smashed the bejesus out of him……..I'm on Sandilands to rekindle that old form

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… Read more »
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 )

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.

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.

I've got a couple of ideas for my team this season, depending on how Dangerfield pulls up for round 1. Team With Danger: DEF: Laird, Hibberd, Tuohy. Rookies atm are Coffield, Naughton, Doedee (E: Murray, Finlayson) MID: Dangerfield, Martin, T.Mitchell, Zorko, Fyfe, Shuey.

Rookies: Stephenson, Higgins, Fritsch (E: Garlett, Ryan) If Danger isn't named, there'd be the following changes: Dangerfield to Oliver Sandilands to Martin Petracca to Dahlhaus/Daniher?

Ablett, Martin, Treloar, Barlow and Parish are all very bold choices – every one of them could end up screwing your season.
Keep some for PODs if thats whats important to you but I suggest trading some of them for safer picks, such as Fyfe
I agree with you in regards to barlow and parish. However I don’t see why the others are risky. Ablett is a guaranteed 115+ average as long as he stays on the park, and I believe that a player like ablett is worth wasting a trade on if he gets injured. Martin has played a solid 2 games in the JLT and he looks like a similar if not better option to grundy or goldstein, who will both have backup ruckman. Treloar is a beast and the only thing keeping him back from a higher average last year was disposal… Read more »
Ablett was guarenteed 115+ when he was at the suns, where the umpires had more touches than any other suns midfielder. At geelong he was to compete with danger, selwood, duncan and menegola. Thats a lot of elite players.
Not to mention the problem with actually staying on the park. He hasn't played over 15 games since 2013, so while even if somehow he manages to still score massively with all the competition, is it really worth having a donut next to an uber premo for 7 games?
Barlow is back in my team.
Hall is the one who will benefit the most post Ablett, but I’m backing Barlow to get a few as well
Who's this Laird bloke he seems fairly popular didn't he used to open the batting with Graeme Wood. I only mention this because he used to run Graeme out a lot and may not be a team player

I actually don't mind your team at all. A bit of courage with your forward line though.
I can’t bring myself to have any forward rookies on field. This has really skewed my team
Def. Laird Lloyd Duggan
Naughton, Doedee, Finlayson
(Murray, Watson)
Mid. Danger Titch Kelly Crouch
Fyfe Brayshaw Brodie Kelly
(O’Connor, Banfield, Holman)
Ruck. Gawn Nank
(Cameron)
Fwd. Lambert McLean Smith
Petracca Sicily Bell
(Ryan, Fritsch)
Still considering Armitage for Duggan and playing 4 rooks in defence.
Also toying with Petracca down to Christensen and taking Duggan up to Howe. Just not sure of having both Christensen and Bell
Watson is my loophole, hoping he gets games later in the season.
Armitage for Duggan is a good move, plenty of Def. rookie options this season that you can alternate on and off the bench.
Forwards in my opinion should be the opposite to your team – predominately rookies. I have Buddy, D Smith and then rookies. That was you can get a much needed extra premo in your midfield.
Christensen hasn't done enough in JLT for me to be worth starting either.
Armitage for duggan seems like a good idea to me.
Thanks both. Armitage in. Gives me 50k which I might use to turn Lambert or McLean into Billings.
Advise against punting Petracca
I think you are right. I am ok with 4 mid pricers on the Fwd line. Maybe all 4 become keepers, but if I can keep 2 or 3 then that would be a good outcome. Sicily can go up to defence if a forward rookie appears, or I am upgrading 2 defence rookies.
Defensive rookies are in abundance, I reckon use them as much as you can
Think you are right. I certainly have more confidence putting Murray, Finlayson or Doedee onfield than any forward rookie so far.
I think I can only name one forward in the best 6,,Franklin the other 5 is a raffle and you are spot one Keen Bell at F6 is a wise choice My problem is too many dees but other than the round 13 bye is it a problem .My pod is Melksham change of position in R 22 has done him wonders I have him with petraca Tmac (also a pod) Fritsch all dee forwards. Don't trust any forward rookies so I too have gone to F 6 with Fritsch and Fogarty on the pine. O'Connor ,the irish lad ,is… Read more »
Thanks Neil. Good luck to you also. By the time the bye comes around, you should have upgraded Fritsch and maybe moved TMac to defence, which will ease the pain slightly. Guessing you might also be running Gawn, Hibberd and Oliver?
Correct Keen GAWN HIBBERD OLIVER PETRACCA FRITSCH a lot of ppl will have that 5 and 2 PODS T MAC MELKSHAM seems a lot from one club but the first five are relevant big time I sort of look at the 7 not as a demon supporter and see them not in red and blue Normally I don't LIKE selecting from my team but gawn and oliver changed that. TMAC has the valuable DPP and won all the running tests at Melbourne and is playing a new role FORWARD Melksham is similar changed roles also.Both are flying cheers KEEN

shane savage vs angus brayshaw for D4 – thoughts pls.
D1 Laird, D2 Rance, D3 Lloyd are all locked.
Savage costs 480k. Brayshaw is 316k . The difference is pretty significant and Brayshaw is DPP. For me Savage is a no because I reckon he is too expensive. Brayshaw is on the maybe list but concussion regulars like him worry me because if he gets a decent smack in the head he won't just have a week off he'll be gone for months if not the season for a full head replacement

Gawn has done it. he is officially in 100% of all teams posted.
There was one where Laird didn't get a start.
Which teams have the most Sunday games in the season to use someone as a loophole?
Eagles have a lot.
Is there a certain player that is the best to use??

Would consider taking Bonner out and moving Finlayson in. Replace with Armitage. I don’t think Bonner is a keeper and I think Armitage might generate more cash.

Rocky at this stage as a POD in the mids but may drop out to replace Lycett at R2 and like everyone else tossing up how to get Danger in later or now.
I'd dump Rocky, no pre season games.
Put keeffe on forward bench so you can swing Sicily forward is needed
Thanks Derek good point
Danger has two weeks yet so for me I am making up two teams one with and without .If he is out for round one and you want him back you will need to have money left over how much I am not too sure but I would say at least 200.000.

Would love criticism/changes community xx
I’m liking your team nank. However I think that you’d be better off getting rid of one or two of your uber promos and strengthing up your forward line as the rookies in that line are the weakest and are not guaranteed games by any stretch
The only problem is who do I get in the forward line? I just don't like any of the options this year
And why was my original comment deleted??
I would pull out Cripps or Zerrett in the mids for a rookie and bulk up the forward line.
I wouldn’t want to play against you in the first couple of weeks with a midfield like that. Serious points.
Do you have enough cash generating rookies, especially in forward line?
I'm hoping so, because althoigh I just replaced Cripps with Heeney, I don't want my midfield to be any stronger, I've always had the mindset that forward line should be the weakest.
Are there any rookies that i should add to it?
Quite happy with this team has 12 keepers and a mix of a few players like smith and coniglio who could become keepers and quite deep every position but feedback would be good also!
D- Laird, Houli, Lloyd, O’Shea, Doedee, Murray
(Finlayson, Mirra)
M- Martin, Mitchell, Merrett, Fyfe, Coniglio, Armitage, Brayshaw, LDU
( Banfield, Holman, Kelly)
R- Grundy, Gawn
(Olango)
F- Franklin, Heeney, Billings, Smith, Rayner, Stephenson
(Fritsch, Ahern)
If danger is good to go round one Franklin will go down to petracca and Mitchell up to danger
Don't like LDU or Grundy, I would downgrade to Barry and upgrade to Kreuzer.
Don’t ya, I do! I’m a Carlton supporter and I ain’t touching kreuzer, finished top 1000 3 years on the go
He's right Alan, Grundy will share Ruck duties with Cox and his points will suffer, maybe not Kreuzer but maybe Martin or Nank.
Rayner also hasn't impressed for 200k, p.s maybe don't ask for advice if you're gonna shoot people down in flames for giving it.
Savage has the form!
I didn’t like his first half when they were getting beaten. Only scored well once melb took foot off the peddle
There is always chance Roberton plays that role as well
I smell a trap as well
Averages 100.3 in his last 10 ‘real’ games. Which makes him the 3rd highest scoring DEF since the byes las year.
Only Hurley and Hibberd did better.
Yeah but what were his other 8 years like?
DEF: Hurley, Laird, Hibberd, Naughton, Doedee, Murray (Keefe, Finlayson) MID: Dangerfield, Titch, Dusty, Fyfe, Cripps, Coniglio, Armitage, Brayshaw (Holman, Kelly, Barry) RUC: Kreuzer, Gawn (Cameron) FWD: Heeney, Petracca, Sicily, Garlett, Fritsch Rioli (Brown, Ryan) Notes: Will probably trade Naughton to O shea if named round 1 (60pts with 24% TOG is promising), J.Brown is for loophole. Feel like I need one more premium or better option in FWD to replace Garlett, or Rioli so then I can loophole Ryan and Rioli/Garlett, So: Option 1- Armitage down to Banfield, Rioli/Garlett up to Tom Bell. Option 2-Armitage down to Banfield, Kreuzer down… Read more »
Option 3. Nank is under priced for what he can do and will be fitter this year.
You could also free up cash by going Mid price crazy in the FWD Line. Dump Heeney and put in players like Walters, Lambert, McLean etc
Nank, Banfield, Devon smith it is! Also like Walters but it's a hard choice to put him over Heeney, will consider. Also entirely forgot about Zac Giles-Langdon, would you advise getting him in for a FWD rookie I have right now if he is named?
The Team of the Week, JLT Round 2
Def: Marley Williams (118), Savage (114), Short (113), Kelly (111), Byrne-Jones (109), Ryan (108)
Mid: Neale (C)(161), Whitfield (142), Duncan (141), Zach Merrett (141), Watts (139), Newman (131), Hall (129), Liberatore (125)

Fwd: Matt Tabener (VC)(148), Cox (146), Ballantyne (142), Taylor (119), Caddy (114), Cameron (111)
Total Score: 2941
What did that team cost. More than 10 million?
DEF: McGovern, Lloyd, Savage, Naughton, Doedee, Finlayson (Keefe, Murray)
MID: T.Mitchell, Zorko, Merrett, Fyfe, Parker, Hall, Dow, Kelly (Banfield, Barry, Holman)
RCK: Martin, Gawn (lavender)
FWD: Billings, Walters, Mclean, Smith, Tiziani, Fritsch (Garlett, Myres)
200k remaining thoughts community
Dow to Brayshaw/Brodie, don't know much about Lavender, Myres or Tiziani so all I can say is keep an eye on round 1 teams and adjust accordingly.
Would also steer away from McGovern (instead Laird, Hibberd, Hurley) and would choose anyone over McLean (Mid price like Petracca or Sicily). Must get Danger in if named so id part with Zorko or Merrett in that case at risk of your cash in bank.
Laird, hibberd, savage, lloyd, naughton, doedee (finlayson, murray)
Dusty, mitchell, fyfe, bont, cripps, brayshaw, kelly, barry (worpel, garlett, holman)
Martin, gawn (olanga)
Heeny, billings, smith, petracca, higgins, fritsch (ryan, murphy)
Any advice is appreciated
DEF: Laird, Hibberd, Roberton, Doedee, Murray Mirra (Naughton, Finlayson)
MID: Martin, Kelly, Parker, Cripps, Coniglio, Armitage, Kelly, Barry (Brayshaw, Ahern, Holman)
RCK: Ryder, Gawn (Olango)
FWD: Heeny, Wingard, Billings, Walters, Fritsch, Ryan (Fogarty, Rioli)
Got about $240k left so feedback for what to do with some of that would be great.
Also just general advice or thoughts would be appreciated
Thanks
Like the lineup I have a similar structure. Maybe turning one of your backline rooks into a Hanley or Brayshaw? Other than that solid team.
Laird, hibberd, Sicily, naughton, Murray, finlayson (doodee, Murphy)

Missed coniglio as m6
Hi there. Although a newcomer to SC Gater kindly invited me into his league and by doing that guys like Derek and Russty have also been helpful. I have noted other people’s teams and so mine is much like everyone else’s! I think I will get thrashed by some of Gaters league but hopefully I will get better as the year goes on. Laird, Lloyd, Wilson – Naughton, O’Shea, Doedee, Murray, O’Conner (D/M) Dangerfield, Mitchell, Oliver, Fyfe, Parker, Coniglio – Fogarty (M/F), Banfield, Finlayson (D/M), Kelly, Holman. Gawn, Sandilands – Cameron Heeney, Walters, Petracca, Bell – Starcevich, Fritsch, Rioli, Ryan.… Read more »
Hey Claire, not bad for a newbie. Solid across all lines so no complaints from me. Keep asking questions and you'll no doubt find the answers on this forum. Good luck coach.
Hi Claire,, You have a solid foundation to work with I love the Parker pick.. not sure whether Fogarty will play many games. I would ditch O'shea and swing Finlayson down back on field and O'Conner to mid and maybe get Barry from Port in mids.. I'm not to keen on the Wison pick .. If you want a keeper I would upgrade to someone like Howe or Tuohy Sandilands I'm not sure if you are looking for a keeper or if he's an upgrade…. If you're looking for a keeper around the same price I would look at the… Read more »
Ok Coach/mentor Gater. This is what my team looks like now. Laird, Tuohy, Lloyd – Naughton, Doedee, Finlayson (M/D) Murray and Miihocek. Not happy with Mihocek. Any other defensive rookie who will have a fair chance of playing some early games? Dangerfield, Mitchell, Oliver, Fyfe, Parker, Coniglio – Banfield, Barry, O’Conner, Kelly, Holman. Will both O’Conner and Kelly break into Geelong strong mid field? I’m keeping Danger whether he misses round 1 or not as I am going for a couple/few League wins and not the $50K. Does SC league scoring start round 2? I don’t have a DPP F/M… Read more »

Barry, Wilson, Holman Kruz, Gawn… Olanglo Heeney, Walters,Smith, Petracca, Stephenson, Giles-Langdon… Ballenden, Ryan As you can see I have 2 premos in defence ,, 6 in the mids .. 2 premo rucks.. 1 premo fwd but hope the other 3 can be keepers and you can see the swing sets that I have on each line except for rucks and Olanglo is there… Read more »
Is Giles-Langdon any good?
What is a floating loophole mean.
As I say nothing set in concrete..Giles -Langdon I like the look of is a rookie from Gws and I think he has good job security and if he can average between 65/75 per game then he will make some good cash and ready for upgrading after round 6 as when all good rookies will be ready to cull by then and you can start painting the fence
Floating loopholing I hope this explains to you what you can do………… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCmtFrXPaN0
Have a bit more confidence Claire…no one here is an expert, otherwise we'd all be 50 grand richer lol, it's all about how you go about it through the season, you'll be fine.
Claire willl be fine Russty and all we can do is try and steer her in the right direction

40.6k left
Nice looking line up. Just watch out for Kruezer with his ankle problem, might set him back a little, query he'll be 100% round1 and 2. His price may drop sharply within a few weeks. Once he's over his niggles he'll no doubt be a no.1 ruck contender.
Cheers for that, I hear you re Kreuzer, wasn't happy to see him go down in his last match, although hoping it wasn't too bad…obvious swap would be S.Martin except for the shared bye with Gawn, so am now considering Nankervis and Sandi…really hoping Kreuzer gets up!
Need a FWD or DEF around max 420k.
I already have Sicily, Mclean, d smith, walters, lloyd. Currently i have Mills at the spot but im not too convinced!!
Please help
Could you go for a decent rookie who is likely to line up for Round 1 and make you cash? And then you could use the extra cash to upgrade anyone in your midfield?
Drop one of them to a rookie and upgrade another to a dead set premo
Tom Bell could slide into a FWD line
i dont want to buy anymore 'guaranteed premiums' as i rate all of my premiums to score just as well as any other premium. i dont want to buy players at like 550k as its a waste of money because they will drop.
i dont want any 400k players in my midfield as they are a waste of a spot..
ive looked at tom bell, also looked at ryan lester – not sure about either though
Maybe try Luke Ryan…Ryan.
Petracca byt I think hes around 430ish
This weeks version….
Laird, Hibberd, Lloyd, Naughton, Doedee, Finlayson – Murray, Keefe
Danger, Titch, Kelly, Oliver, Fyfe, Banfield, Kelly, Barry – Coffield, Higgins, Holman
Gawn, Lycett – Cameron
Menegola, Heeney, Walters, Smith, Stephenson, Fritsch – Ryan, Brander
282K in the bank.
Hi Ranger I have Brander also but linked him to sicily Keefe is too inconsistent for mine .Also though Higgins wont play early it is a good move as a temporary loop m /f and when he arrives he will stay.. In my opinion the forwards are the weakest rookie line and with no quality back up for Brander, Stephenson is dicey Bell or Bundy look better. Sorry Ranger but Lycett and Cameron both have s c queries Set and Forget Gawn and prem ruck / olango GOOD LUCK buddy
Thanks Neil. Still a chance I'll go back to set and forget rucks but Ryder is the only other pick I see value in and I just can't get around his bye. And I'm by no means happy with that fwd line but I still run a strict no flog policy so Sicily is a no go. He'll miss weeks at some point me thinks. Might drop Menegola down to someone cheaper to upgrade one of the fwd rookies once teams are named but I'm not keen on Bell or Bundy or any of the 250/300K players. And yeah Higgins,… Read more »

This might be nearly right for me now with a few adjustments for rookies depending on selection for round 1, Def.. Laird. Hibberd. Simpson. A Brayshaw. Naughton. Doedee. Murray. Murphy. Mid.. Titch. J. Kelly. Fyfe. Whitfield. Redden. JOM. Coffield. T Kelly. Banfield. Ballard. Holman Ruck. Kreuzer. Gawn. Cameron Fwd. Heeny. Greene. Petracca. Hogan. Bolton. Keefe. Garlett.

Kelly to Dusty,
Redden… no no no maybe Coniglio but only if you do above or there will be to much gws in the midfield
Coffield. To Darcy Fogarty ???

Ruck. Gawn. Lycett. (Cameron)
Fwd. Billings. Mclean. D.Smith. Sicily. Fritsch. Ryan
This is my current team, on field rookies really depend on who is picked coming in to round 1.
I have $254k left due to Danger doing his hammy. Any advice on where to spend this cash?? Would love some feedback
G'day all
Longtime follower/reader/stalker but only just registered to comment
team currently is:
Def: Hurley, Laird, Hibberd, Naughton, O'Shea, Doedee (Finlayson, Murray)
Mid: Dangerfield, Martin, M.Crouch, Fyfe, Cripps, Coniglio, Brayshaw, Brodie (Barry, Kelly, Holman)
Ruc: Gawn, Nank (Cameron)
Fwd:Heeny, Billings, Petracca, Fogarty, English, Fritsch (Rioli, Garlett)
Team has been changing daily but this is it currently.
Hit me up with some feedback/advice.
Cheers
Hey Raver, I reckon you need to improve your Fwd set up, too many rookies that have no job security. The Def. line is good, rookies are mostly ok, personally I haven't seen enough of O'Shea to include especially at that price.
I would dump Coniglio for either Armitage or JOM and use the extra cash upgrading a Fwd rookie to Bell or Christensen.
Cheers for the input mate.
I like the look of cogs and would like to hang onto him if possible.
To make the cash I swapped Hibberd to L.Jones, English to L.Ryan and Rioli to Christenson
So team is now:
Def: Hurley, Laird, Jones, Naughton, O'Shea, Doedee (Finlayson, Murray)
Mid: Dangerfield, Martin, M.Crouch, Fyfe, Cripps, Coniglio, Brayshaw, Brodie (Barry, Kelly, Holman)
Ruc: Gawn, Nank (Cameron)
Fwd:Heeny, Billings, Petracca, Fogarty, Christenson, Fritsch (Ryan, Garlett)
Leaves me with $62,900 left over, I would like this to be a bit bigger. Maybe down grading O'Shea to a cheaper rookie?
Thoughts??
Nice move Hibberd to Liam Jones, Hibberd will probably be top 6 defender but you'll more than likely be able to get him cheaper later on.
O'Shea to L.Murphy from the Crows will give you an extra $60K for the kitty. Keep an eye on round 1 starting teams and keep asking questions on this forum for updates on rookies.
You think Murphy's in the frame for R1 Stark?
thoughts?
DEF: Laird, Hibberd, Savage, Mills, Naughton, Murray (doedee, mihocek)
MID: Martin, Sloane, Fyfe, Bontempelli, Cripps, Coniglio, Brayshaw, Kelly (Benfield, Holman, Barry
RUCK: Gawn, Nankervis (Cameron)
FWD: Greene, Billings, Walters, Dunkley, Fogarty, Fritsch (Ryan, Buckley)
Dangerless after the injury: Feels like it frees me up to be a bit more balanced. Not totally sold on Greene – Thoughts on a replacement?
…couple of rookies a lock…most dependent on whether picked in R1.
Def: R. Laird, M. Hibberd, A. McGrath, T. Doedee, A. Naughton, S. Murray (N. Coffield, J. Finlayson)
Mid: T. Mitchell, J. Kelly, Z. Merrett, N. Fyfe, P. Cripps, A. Brayshaw, D. Fogarty, T. Kelly (LUD, D. Barry, N Holman)

Fwd: I. Heeney, T. Greene, J. Billings, C. Petracca, J. Stewart, B. Fritsch (Z. Giles-Langdon, L. Ryan)
Not sure about the Goldy pick. Reckon he'll get back to near his best?
Walters for Greene
After about 1000 changes over the weekend, I have settled (hopefully) on my team. DEF – Laird, Savage, JJ, M. Williams, Murray, Naughton (Doedee, Finlayson) MID – Mitchell, Z. Merrett, Neale, Fyfe, Cripps, Libba, A. Brayshaw, Kelly (Brodie, Banfield, Holman) RUC – Gawn, Nank (Olango) FWD – Mundy, McLean, Taylor, Caddy, Fogarty, Fritsch (Garlett, Keefe) A couple of risky selections in Marley Williams and Lewis Taylor Williams will see a truckload of ball down in Norths defence, given they have the slowest midfield in the Cosmos and the ball will be down there constantly.Taylor seems to have cleaned up his… Read more »
Love the Williams pick. I'm a North man and reckon he'll get plenty of the pill!
He might see plenty of the pill because it s going to be in his vicinity a lot. If he can get it and do something useful with it then he'll be a decent pick and probably win a Syd Barker
Troy, You and I could be the only 2 on this site with Caddy!
DEF: Hurley, Laird, Hibberd, Hanley, Brayshaw, Murray, (Murphy, Doedee)
MID: Kelly, Fyfe, Cripps, Coniglio, O'Meara, Brayshaw, Finlayson, Banfield, (Kelly, Barry, Holman)
RUC: Gawn, Naitanui, (Cameron)
FOR: Heeney, Billings, Smith, Petracca, Curnow, Christenson, (Fritsch, Brown)
Right now I don't trust the forward rookies at all. The players I'm least sure about are Naitanui and Hanley. Some of the players I'm keenly looking at are Naughton, O'Connor, Lycett, and Coffield. Got 24k spare right now.
i see Coffield in a lot of teams. is he any good for that price? didn't see the saints play
He scored 48 and 67 in the two JLT games and he looked fairly comfortable out there. If he was cheaper he would be a lock. Not too sure at this price though, I'll see how many rookies get named rd 1.
$171k is alot. might give him a miss.
Laird, Hibbard, (McDonald or Lloyd), Sicily, Murray, Finlayson (Doedee and Murphy)
Martin, Mitchell, crouch, Fyfe, cripps, Brayshaw, Brodie, Kelly (Barry, Banfield, Holman)
Ryder, gawn (Cameron)
Heeney, Billings, Walters, Smith, Venables, Fritsch (Ryan, Garlett)
Help me with my D3 please!!
Lloyd is my D2. happy to have him. should be priced over $500k
I had Lloyd at D2 but in JLT2 when Newman got rolling Lloyd didn't do much for his score
If McVeigh is named round 1 I'm going to stay away from him, I want to have him but with Rampe, Newman and McVeigh all there to steal his points I've gone with Touhy who is just a bit safer for the same price.
$33,700 in the bank and currently rolling with the following.
Big question mark is rookies to be named and dangerfield.
Thinking danger to zmeret/ Kelly and an upgrade somewhere else.
Laird, Hibbert, Simpson, Naughton, O'Shea 🤔, Dodde (Murry, Finlyston)
Danger, tmitchell, fyfe, bont / pendles? 🤔, cripps, coniglio, brayshaw, Barry, (banfield, Kelly, Holman)
Ryder, gawn, (Cameron)
Heeny, billings, Smith, Christensen, keefe, fritch , (garlett, giles-langson)
Pretty sure o’shea Won’t play round 1. Not sure Simmo will be as safe a bet as some others. And go the Bont
What makes you say that about O'Shea Dutchy?
Being a Carlton supporter and living in Adelaide, i was wrapped we picked up O'Shea. Not a gun by any means but definately best 22 at a struggling club. I rate him and i would be amazed if Carlton dont start him r1. But not playing much jlt is a worry
Hey guys love your work! Would love a bit of advice
(DEF) Laird, Hibberd, Lloyd, Sicily, Doedee, Murray (Finlayson,Mirra)
(MID) Dusty, Titch, Kelly, Fyfe, Crippa, Coniglio, Brayshaw, Dow (Kelly, Barry, Holman)
(RUCK) Jacobs, Gawn (Olango)
(FWD) Heeney, Billings, Smith, Stephenson, Poholke, Keeffe (Fritsch, Ryan)
Is the Sicily Lloyd combo the way to go or should I go with a premium rookie combo? Are there any rookies I’ve missed out on?
Chuck Sicily in ya FWD line and sneak in a Coffield, Naughton or Keefe into your backline instead I reckon.
As Zerrett says safer defensive rookies.. but Sicily is a flog anyway
I think if you going to use someone to ride up to grab Danger then I think Coniglio looms as the man to take for the ride. Like the Ryan inclusion. Really starting to warm up to that myself. Savage vs Ryan for me ATM. Ryan has a game purpose built for SC. Can we finally trust Ross!!! Not sure how much value there is in Tom Bell. Did have that 90 season. But everything else sub 70
Yeah just dont know about the fwd line if Danger plays will be team 1 with 5 fwds
Not sure who else other than bell, christensen hasnt set the world on fire and rooks scarce on the ground.
Anyone else fwd – cheapish?
i don't mind Mccartin. he looked ok on the weekend. Only $234k. might have a few good scores
I do like the look of that first forward line. I think it's the line that will give the poorest rookie scores. Loading up there seems sensible. Very similar to how I'm currently structured. The conditions yesterday were horrid. I'd ignore Bundy's score. He can go 80+. I'm trying to find a way to have him at F6
Laird, Hibberd, Savage, Coffeild, Naughton, Murray (Doedee, Finlayson)
Danger, Mitchell, Kelly, Crouch, Fyfe, Coniglio, Brayshaw, Barry (Kelly, Banfield, Holman)
Kruez, Gawn
Heeney, Billings, Smith, Keeffe, Garlett, Ryan (Fritsch, Fogarty)
Not a huge fan on my fwds, especially rookie depth and job security. Not sure if its worth spending the 600k on kruez vs a cheaper Jacobs – even though i want the set and forget rucks and think Kruez is the best in the league. intending on using Cogs as a stepping stone to Dusty at some stage instead of using two trades with omeara or Arma.
Hurley, Laird, Hibberd, Sicily, Doedee, Finlayson ( O'Shea, Naughton)
T. Mitchell, Martin, Fyfe, Coniglio, Cripps, O'Meara, Dow, Brayshaw (Barry, Banfield, Giro)
Grundy, Gawn (Olango)
Menegola, McLean, Walters, Christensen, Starevich, W. Rioli (Kirby, Ryan)
$9.2k in bank and rookies will vary depending on JLT and round 1 teams
Thoughts?
Doubts on Menegola, and Sicily has the flog factor
Suggestions on alternatives to them?
Menegola will be more consistent than Billings and i wanna swap out Sicily but the options don't look solid enough where Sicily is going to be a pillar for Hawks now that Hodge is gone. Mills doesn't click over 100 often at all and Hanley looks like his best days are behind him
Backs: Laird, Hibberd, Lloyd, Savage, Naughton, Murray
Bench: Doedee, Finlayson
Midfield: Dangerfield, Martin, Mitchell, Fyfe, Coniglio, Armitage, Brayshaw, Holman
Bench: Banflield, Kelly, Barry

Bench: Keefe, Ryan
$113,200 in the bank, open to critisism especially on my ruck idea.
Nice one vindog. As good as any midfield going. Gawn is a must have. Beyond that your choice is as valid as any other. Not too sure about Fritsch job security. He may very well get a gig for round one while Viney is out. He might just get a taste and then be spelled before he delivers any financial gain. Melb have a bit of a history with doing this, Hannan last year and Oliver the year before
Hi folks, keen for your feedback. Just waiting to see how danger is, but in for the time being. Cheers
DEF: Laird, Tuohy, Shaw, O'Shea, Doedee, Murray (Murphy, Finlayson)

That ruck line is the riskiest thing I've seen since my mate with coke-bottle glasses and a retainer asked the hottest girl in school to prom.
It didn't work out for him but hey all the best.
that is right up there with going Lobbe a couple of years back
Who could possibly be silly enough to pick Lobbe Derek?
After the trash Dawson Simpson dished up on the weekend surely Lobb plays ruck for GWS when he comes back?
Anyway, take it apart:

FWD: Heeney, Smith, Sicily, Lobb, Ryan, Fritsch (Garlett, McCartin)
When is the question!!
I’ve been keen on Lobb too if he is fit. Did play a Neafl practice game on the weekend…
Tuoey or Lloyd?
Lloyd for mine, Saundo
I like both and both have been in and out of my team for each other It's just the factor of McVeigh, Rampe and now Newman who all play the same role and take his points In JLT2 Lloyd only scored around 73 with McVeigh and Rampe out of the team and Newman scored 100. I know that Touhy only scored 78 or so in JLT2 but he had 28 possesions with 21 of the kicks. I heard his score was low because of the strong wind which caused his D.E to be low I just think that Touhy would… Read more »
someone who no-one has is Ben Jacobs. $200k. he is alot better than that isn't he?
Not sure how much better though Derek… highest season average 65, 5 other seasons all below 58
Had a look into that a while ago & put a line through him. He's a good tagger but not an SC option at that price
Fair enough. Just looking through my notes.
What about M Cox at F5 if thinking of having Lycett or Simpson at R2?
$300k for a RUC/FWD with good job security?
Ballsy move. Cox will have erratic scores. For a bloke who's new to the game he's an accurate kick. I'll give him that. Not sure the Bruen manoeuvre will work here. But it might
Are they really going that bad that Cox has good Job security
You love a risk don't ya Derek?..haha that's all part of the fun of it though 🙂
Will score better than most rookies IMO, not a bad POD
Last year I had Goldstein. After two rounds I traded down to Witts, banked a LOOOOT of money. And, like most others, I traded Witts up when he was fully fattened. This year I don't like any of the premo rucks outside of Gawn. I'm tempted by Lycett but Nic Nat's return could be just around the corner. Thinking I might start Goldy again. If he stinks it up and Lycett plays well I could pull the same maneuver. Only one more trade than just starting Lycett (and upgrading him later), but less risk. If Goldy is back to anywhere… Read more »
I pulled the same move last year. The cash allowed me to grab MacRae & Hanners cheap. MacRae was a great pick up. Hanners belted out 5 tonnes in a row then turned into a train wreck of a pick. Preuss will impact Goldy's output
He will but what do ya do?
Grundy has Cox. Martin has Archie. Kreuzer is ecpe1nsive, has only had one good season and is injury prone, Ryder has the early bye, Jacobs is not SC friendly anymore.
Lycett scares the bejeebus out of me.

Forwards:

131k free to turn Kelly into Dangerfield if it feels necessary.
I'm thinking the same with Whitfield if Danger doesn't start. Going to be a good player and new role looks SC friendly, will score well but maybe not quite a keeper. If he goes really well he stays, otherwise I bring in Danger.
And Sicily managed to argue his way out of my team!
Hurley, Billings, Naitanui (if named, Nank if not)
Or
Howe, Smith, Kreuzer

Ps. I cannot remove Omeara as my team name is Oh my 'Meara haha
Hi Sammy, I'd be looking to get Andrew Brayshaw into your mids and Tim Kelly, rather than Worpel and Constable.
Don't like Savage either, maybe Shaw or Sicily instead to save some bucks.
Cheers Rusty, Just trying to go for some PODS this year 😉
Still tossing up on having neale and fyfe at the same time or just neale or fyfe
Danger to Neale yes or not
I say, Danger to Ablett, and then Ablett to Danger 🙂
I kinda like that . . . If Ablett plays Rd 1. Gives you an out when he inevitably misses a game or three while still scoring points
OK, here is my "balls hanging out in defence" team.
Savage Ryan Sicily (Doedee)
Naughton Finlayson Murray (Mihocek)

I'm not sure I have the plums….
Nothing wrong with balls out hedski…lol, I'd replace Savage with someone though, he won't be consistent. 🙂
Crazy not to pick Laird
Yeah I know, that's my povvo defence team, allows me to go 4 deep in fwds and put Cogs M6, like I said, not sure I have the aggots.
Who’s Bundy.
Christenson
Zac Guthrie. An option?
No
Could be Rick if he secures a spot for himself, worst thing is when you whack someone in there, and then they get dropped.
7 rookies with 14 premos+ lycett
OR
6 rookies with 13 premos+coniglio, lycett and tom Bell?
Thoughts please Community
anyone going with boak?
I doubt it..better options around Pantelis.
His dual position is tempting
Hi guys, any feedback would be helpful, all rookies subject to line ups of course
DEF: Laird, Hibberd, Tuohy, Savage, Naughton, Murray (Doedee, Finlayson)

RUC: Gawn, Lycett (Cameron)
FWD: Heeney, Walters, McClean, Christenson, Ryan, Garlett (Ahern, Fritsch)
Thinking of downgrading D4 to help my fwd line, idk yet, cheers!!
Not sure how much cash you have left but I'd go Christensen to Bell, Lycett to Nank, this is what I have done today
Alright, after my 378th adjustment I think I'm getting closer… B – Laird, Hibberd, Savage, Hanley, Naughton, Murray (Keeffe, Mirra) M – Dusty, Mitchell, Fyfe, Cripps, Coniglio, Jacobs, LDU, Banfield (Stephenson, Finlayson, Holman) R – Martin, Gawn (Cameron) F – Heeney, Walters, Smith, Sicily, Christensen, Fritsch (Rioli, Ryan) Points of contention and reasoning – Jacobs was solid against the Tiges and is a bargain at 200k – should outscore most rookies if he stays on the park so have selected him instead of Brayshaw at M6. Also popped Stephenson in as a M/F swing instead of Kelly from the cats… Read more »
EDIT Hanley going down for a month has seen a shake up.
B – Laird, Hibberd, Savage, Naughton, DOEDEE, Finlayson (Keeffe, Murray)
M – Dusty, Mitchell, Fyfe, Cripps, Coniglio, Jacobs, LDU, FOGARTY (Banfield, KELLY, Holman)

F – Heeney, Walters, Smith, Sicily, Christensen, Fritsch (Rioli, Ryan)
367k in the bank
A – Do I keep the warchest for Danger?
B – Do I upgrade Jacobs to Libba?
C – Do I put Brodie or Brayshaw in for Fogarty?
Thx community
Who's your midfielder Jacobs?
Ben Jacobs – coming back from a long injury riddled run with his ankle. The Glove!
I think you have to have Brayshaw at M6,he seems the best of the high priced rookies,plus they seem keen to play him.Not sure about LDU,he didn't do much in the preseason games and he's one of the high priced rookies,Coffield might be a better fit plus he's dpp,and could swing with Finlayson in the back line.Also glad to see you spelt Keeffe right,a lot of people have been leaving out one of the fs.
Thanks John, I'm a spelling nazi 🙂
Yeah I just think LDU's JS is the strongest out of all rookies and Coffield didn't set the world on fire either. Might have to rethink Brayshaw though the kid is a jet no doubt

Merrett and Josh Kelly are interchangeable, cant decide who I wanna go with just yet, same goes with Martin and Grundy. Really wanna persist with Curnow, highly highly rate him bit congilio is super tempting. Let me have it!
Hurley and Naitanui or Liam Jones/Luke Ryan and Kreuzer?
Ryan and Kreuzer
I appreciate this is not an RMT question, however, it's been a late start to my team planning this year (better late than never). Does anyone know if Old Ocker has put together his team planning spreadsheet that he has shared with the community over the last few years? It has always been an awesome tool in the past.

I would love some feedback. Here are some of my own thoughts: 1. Considering other cheap defenders instead of Sicily including Ryan & Mills 2. Unsure on Treloar or how I’d eventually get Danger quickly. Tempted to go Treloar to Dusty and ride out without Danger for 5-8 weeks; or roll the dice on a Libba type to upgrade quickly to Danger… Read more »

Hey Paul, some iffy selections there for me, Savage, Weitering, Lycett, Taberner and Bell…all very risky and have no history of consistency. Might be better off spending another 200 grand but what do I know 🙂
Weitering can play looked very good.Savage, Taberner and Bell killed it for consistency in the JLT.What i like is they are very good value and all will have an important role to play.Also with Fogarty Adelaide moved him back to stop Ports run. They want this guy in. Lycett i am hoping he will average 80 for a few rounds.
Yep righto mate go for it!..sounds like you're on top of it..what's the worst thing that could happen right? 🙂
The worst thing would be is not to have my marginal probabilities right.
what's interesting tho on average from the JLT this team scored 2,400 taking into account the probability of danger scoring 300 as cap with a low variance of 10. not sure what other teams achieved here but yes its JLT and consistency is a game of chance at this time of the year as some variables do have past history as you pointed out but we do need some POD's.just the right ones.The present form is all we have to ride the wave however the extra cash helps to ride the wave all the way to the shore.

The round 14 bye is making things tough. So far:

Danger; Titch, Zorko, Merrett, Fyfe, Brayshaw; Kelly, Banfield; Barry; Holman.
Gawn, Nank, Olongo

Obviously subject to change about a million times
DEF – Yeo, Laird, Hibberd, Naughton, Doedee, Murray (Finlayson, Murphy)

RUC – Kreuzer, Gawn (Hayes)
FWD – Heeney, Billings, Petracca, Curnow, Stephenson, Ryan (Ahern, Garlett)
$63,900 in the bank.
My concerns:
– Is Yeo good enough for D1?
– Petracca & Curnow together? Or should I back one of them only? (leaning towards Petracca)
– Will Kreuzer get up for round 1?
– And of course, Dangerfield. Hang on in hope of a quick recovery or start planning how to get him later?
I would ditch Yeo he will drop in value guaranteed.

Very young… Would perhaps look to go a few more developed players. A few risks is fine but you have ALOT.
DANGER IS DONE FOR RD1
Where did you here this?
If Danger is not playing round one i won't have him and this is why. For him not to be playing round one he must be a bit more than minor.Having trouble with hammies in the past myself you never come back 100% straight away you need to ease back into it. If he plays round 2 he may not score well but he will probably play forward more so he is not running as much.Therefore his high price tag will drop after his third game.if you have cash i would pick him up then as he will probably take… Read more »
Keep in mind that if his 1st game is round 2, and he does score poorly, that score will barely affect his price because it will only stay in his rolling average for 1 round.
What you guys think?

theres a lot of hype around savage, but do we trust him?
Could work out but no you can’t trust him
What Hype?…the guy's been playing for 9 years..burnman I reckon.
In full agreement with you
