Ripping side there doggy. Best I've seen!!!!

GoDoggies · 20/03/2018 at 11:21
HAHA
I'm panicking so much I cant even leave a comment
DEFS- Laird, Tuohy, Naughton, Doedee, Murray, Finlayson (Murphy, Keeffe)
MIDS- Danger, Mitchell Kelly Fyfe Parker Cripps Brayshaw (freo) banfield (Kelly, Holman barry)
RUCKS- Ryder Gawn (Cameron)
FWDS – Heeney, Mclean, Smith, Petracca Sicily Fritsch (Giles-Langdon, Ryan)
Three main concerns, Danger, Ryder and Sicily
I'm willing to cop the Danger Round 1 donut and the Ryder round 10 donut.
but I'm considering downgrading Ryder to Nank, I could really use that cash to clean up the team
Finally Sicily is he honestly worth the hype or is he to risky
Sides going to change once rookies are named, with some downgrades and upgrades to rooks and premiums

Matho · 20/03/2018 at 12:35
What are you going to do about Ryder’s doughnut in round 10. Do you [email protected] a backup plan because Cameronrobably won’t be playing

GoDoggies · 20/03/2018 at 14:30
3 options
1: willing to cop the donut
2: Downgrade to Nank the Tank
3: Cross my fingers and hope for a miracle ruckmen to play come round 10
Liking option 1 the best

Dovaas · 20/03/2018 at 23:08
Why are coaches still talking about the PTA/GCS bye? It doesn't matter and have all that time to trade up before hand. Round 10… so what

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 00:42
Probably because Having Ryder means you will cop a donut for him because round 10 you need 22 on the field, so you'd need a playing Ruck in R3 and who is that?
The other 3 bye rounds you only get scored from the best 18 onfield.

Tyruddanaut · 21/03/2018 at 06:36
Think about it this way. You lose 100 during Round 10 but make it up when everyone else is copping donuts in the ruck R12-14

Sc_Wow · 21/03/2018 at 07:39
You can field best 18 in rd12-14. My ruck is KRUUZE. Round 12 is his bye, and I know my lowest score will be pretty high in that round. Ryder won’t make it to match every ruck in the league

David C · 21/03/2018 at 11:23
Not if you trade in Ryder after his bye. And those other rounds are best 18, R10 is best 22 … big difference.

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 03:50
It's supposed to be fun mate, don't worry too much about it, it's the journey that's most enjoyable, not the destination, for most of us, the destination is Shitsville lol

Vnow · 20/03/2018 at 11:18
gotta agree, nowhere near as entertaining..

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 05:09
Give em a go…bugger off if you don't want to be here.

BloodyFranklin · 20/03/2018 at 15:02
Come on now Andrew, surely you aren't one of those twerkers who hits up jockreynolds.com a few days before the season starts, listens to the most recent podcast and tries to build a team off that?
Things have changed bro, consider yourself lucky that there's any information on this years Supercoach season here. Because without "these guys", you'd have nothing.

Lekdog · 23/03/2018 at 08:37
I love this btw

BloodyFranklin · 23/03/2018 at 11:55
Thanks man. 🍻

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 05:00
What cave have you been living in , in the last 4 months?

Tyruddanaut · 21/03/2018 at 06:41
I actually live in a cave, but go to an Internet cafe to compensate

The Ranger · 21/03/2018 at 16:00
You have an internet cafe near your cave?!

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 16:03
What's an internet cafe? Is that from before mobile phones?

Tyruddanaut · 22/03/2018 at 06:52
Fun fact: the day after iPhones were invented (3/5/1485) the first Internet cafe was opened so that people could read the Torah on their new devices. Unfortunately people just downloaded Angry Birds leading to a decrease in Jewish population due to people being too busy trying to complete level 8

Tyruddanaut · 21/03/2018 at 17:27
It’s actually a Maccas but it counts

DunedainRangers · 20/03/2018 at 11:14
Does anyone have the JR community group code? cheers

DunedainRangers · 20/03/2018 at 11:30
thanks man

Hoot · 21/03/2018 at 00:55
Im having the same issue at my work where group joining isnt working via a code. What an i missing? Any tricks?
Thanks.

Tyruddanaut · 21/03/2018 at 06:42
You have to make sure you are putting in a group code and not a league code. Open the group menu first

Brendon · 21/03/2018 at 13:41
I don’t even get an option to join a group.. will only let me create a group

Holty · 21/03/2018 at 19:44
Is ur team completed? I had the same problem until i had selected all 30 positions

TommyC99 · 20/03/2018 at 11:29
I agree with most of that mate, although i'd probably swap Duncan out with Bont, feel like he will really bounce back strong

Derek · 20/03/2018 at 11:44
Total points? Average? 2nd half of year?

DacZawson · 20/03/2018 at 11:47
Sorry I should've made that clear. I base it off average if I believe they can play over 20 games

Matho · 20/03/2018 at 12:37
Swap Jacobs for Goldy

Dean · 20/03/2018 at 18:56
I think its a fair call Re: The players you listed bar one.
I see Wallis being a top 6 not top 10 forward. I have my doubts on Wingard & Roughy however being top 10 in the forward line.
Why don't you see Wallis being a top 10 forward?

Starkingdom · 21/03/2018 at 17:34
Wallis can't stay on the park for a full season, that's enough for me to exclude him.

Randomcliche2 · 21/03/2018 at 01:07
Pretty solid.
Touhy to llyod.
Duncan to Pendles (I think there are plenty of others ahead of him as well, even his captain).
Greene won't play 20 games, flog. Wingard out D.Smith in. If fit R.Lobb, but assuming he is not.

Bells · 21/03/2018 at 14:09
NicNat over Goldy?
Outside the top 5 fwds is anyone's guess.

Tyruddanaut · 21/03/2018 at 17:30
Replace Touhy with Jones, Crouch with Zorko, Goldy with Nank, Roughy with Smith, Gray with Lobb and you have a team

Defying_Madness · 21/03/2018 at 17:52
He said it is based off average so Gray will make it easily

BloodyFranklin · 21/03/2018 at 10:12
Hey David, your team looks solid man. I have to be honest and say I'm not sold on the Christensen/Rayner picks, there is a hefty amount of coin invested in those two and I feel as though that coin would be better distributed elsewhere. If you are super-keen to have them in your line up, I would recommend only picking one of them.
Good luck! ⛄️

joe · 21/03/2018 at 12:31
Christensen's averages: 66, 80, 93, 91, 70 (injury interrupted)
That's worth the risk in a season with no guaranteed forward rookies.

DacZawson · 20/03/2018 at 11:24
If he lines up Sunday then it should be fine, I doubt they risk a half fit young player in the first game of the season

Lekdog · 20/03/2018 at 11:26
Been my lock all year, am I concerned? Slightly…fair to say we should have a backup plan for a late out situation

Lekdog · 20/03/2018 at 11:27
Only slight change for me would be LDU to Brodie

Sc_Wow · 20/03/2018 at 12:49
Stephenson also might score the best for his price. Start fritz

SC_Sixty6 · 20/03/2018 at 11:48
Can't see O'Shea getting a gig. Switch him to coffield.

Lekdog · 20/03/2018 at 11:28
Sicily will out perform his price but will have weeks where he goes missing, better than any of those other 400K (and under) forward fwds imo
I like the side

DacZawson · 20/03/2018 at 11:29
Personally I think you should strengthen your defence, so if downgrading Ryder or Sicily allows you to upgrade a rookie to a premo in defence then I'd do it.

GoDoggies · 20/03/2018 at 11:36
I have $300 the downgrading of one of ryder or Sicily would give me enough for like Riley Bonner, Byrne, Corey Ellis, Brayshaw (Melbourne) a player for around 200-300k is it worth it?
Say Ryder to Nank and then like Keeffe up to Bonner or Ellis
??
Lek your a Carlton man, what are your thoughts on Byrne is he worth it 230k odd defender worth it?
Or do I downgrade Ryder to Lycett and have a ton of cash to play with??

DacZawson · 20/03/2018 at 11:39
Pretty good looking side, how much cash do you have left in the bank?

Bec · 20/03/2018 at 11:57
Thanks Only 2.5k in bank

Derek · 20/03/2018 at 11:51
Good team. Should go good. You will have a few problems in round 14 having a lot of your guns not playing, but that is just one week you might just take a loss.
Good luck

Bec · 20/03/2018 at 12:00
Thanks Derek – I honestly didn’t consider the bye rounds
Maybe Crouch to Merrett.?

Derek · 20/03/2018 at 12:13
By round 14 you should have a top 4 locked.

Shake_n_Bake_ · 20/03/2018 at 13:47
Nice structure, l like it. But like Derek said definitely rd 14 is a problem.

Lekdog · 20/03/2018 at 12:27
Jump on SC and sort by ownership, that'll give you most of your rookies 🙂

Bells · 21/03/2018 at 13:53
Good. It's better those that have done some research and spent some time get rewarded with potentially better rookies than those that turn up and just plug in 8 rookies off the CHEAT sheet IMHO.

DacZawson · 20/03/2018 at 11:45
I think you gotta pick one of Bell or Christensen, rather than both

DacZawson · 20/03/2018 at 11:45
Bell higher potential but Christensen might have a bit more job security

Sam · 20/03/2018 at 11:50
Why do you say that? Both seem underpriced with good JS to me. I only have 20k in the bank so wouldn't be able to upgrade either and both would be better than downgrading to a rookie (wouldn't know what to do with the 150k then anyway)

DacZawson · 20/03/2018 at 11:57
If you're keen on both then by all means go ahead, but I can see them both playing a half-forward role once Zorko and Beams play together, so don't believe both can rotate as a relief midfielder. So while both may score slightly better than a rookie as pure half forwards, I don't see the 150k extra cash as being worth a few extra points.
Interested to see what other people think though.

Dean · 20/03/2018 at 19:34
DacZawson its a really toughy year in the forward line this season and whats more concerning is almost every year the "Premo" forwards under preform, it happens year after year and the same can be said in defence.
That being said the vast majority of mid priced players fail every season irespective of their positions.
However with the lack of rookie depth in our forward lines this season I dont see it being an issue having players such as Christensen & Bell if a person feels its right.
I personally have Sicily and Christensen in my side, if history is anything to go by, there is every chance that Sicily could end up averaging less then Bell. It really is a personal thing, however EVERYONE needs to be aware of mid-priced madness and I have seen a TON of people on here who have been playing the game for years classing mid priced players as premiums and OR keepers.
This should NEVER be done EVER because chances are you will get dissapointed. Prepare yourself for the worst and if things work out for the better then its a HUGE bonus.
I'm sh** scared about having Sicily in my forward line but its something I'm happy to try out.
The other option im considering is going with Cyril Rioli & Christenson which I may very well go back to, due to the $100k price discrepancy between Sicily and Cyril Rioli in all honesty.
Rioli has averaged 90+ since 2010 only last year his average dropped dramatically to 64 but then again he only played 7 games last season.

BloodyFranklin · 21/03/2018 at 10:24
Hey DR, I really like your line-up. If you are happy with it, I'd run with it. I don't have any Saints players personally, they either burn me when I do pick them or I get burnt because I didn't pick them. So I tend to stay away from them because it scares me.
Good luck! 🍀

DunedainRangers · 21/03/2018 at 10:41
thanks man, yes I do agree there very flammable, but so tempting

BloodyFranklin · 21/03/2018 at 10:50
Flammable, but tempting…
… Like lighting farts on fire?! 🤣
🌬🔥

Randomcliche2 · 21/03/2018 at 07:54
One of the more pure guns and rookies team going around. I'm running 9 mid pricers, needless to say we only share 5 players over 250k. If all your rookies are named consider Scicily to Petracca. I've got both, but one is going to go to to tribunal at some point you'd think.

Dean · 20/03/2018 at 19:40
I like it mate. Also agree Re: Oliver, Zorko or Kelly its basically flip a coin for these players.

Randomcliche2 · 21/03/2018 at 07:56
Oliver is my pick of the three as well. Gawn loves hitting it down his throat.

Dean · 20/03/2018 at 20:18
@Gingging – Decent side but you are making a huge mistake by having both Coffield & Finlayson in defence because both these players are MID/DEFENDERS.
Swap Coffield with L Murphy in defence and then swap Brayshaw to Coffield and this will then allow you to swing Coffield & Finlayson from Midfield to Defence and vice versa and while doing this change you will pocket yourself an extra $95k
I don't like the idea of having high priced rookies, any more then 2 high priced rookies is a waste and you have 4 in your side which is crazy as you have Coffield, Naughton, Brayshaw & Fogarty.
Keep in mind almost all cheaper rookies will generate you more cash then the more expensive rookies.
The only two high priced rookies I would consider keeping providing they are selected for round 1 are Naughton & Coffield mate.
If however you are still adament on keeping all your high priced rookies then thats fine, just get rid of Banfield and bring in Coffield in order to allow you to take full advantage of Coffield & Finlayson's DPP (Duel Position Players)
Good luck mate.

Randomcliche2 · 21/03/2018 at 08:01
Keep A Brayshaw. 🙂 you can open up the dpp swing set later. Cheers.

Randomcliche2 · 21/03/2018 at 08:05
One will get suspended I'd bet. I don't like any of those 3 at D3. Sicily in forwards if you must have him…I do though. Flip a coin on the others. I've read that Hanners might play wing this year so there could be more mid minutes. McGrath should get better as well.

Holty · 20/03/2018 at 12:41
Just pick Cripps and Kruezer Lek. Everything else should just fall into place.

Lekdog · 20/03/2018 at 13:31
They're already in haha

Sc_Wow · 20/03/2018 at 12:47
Intelligent auto select does a pretty good job

Lekdog · 20/03/2018 at 13:34
This is the team it gave me…
DEF: Simpson, O'Shea, Bonner, Naughton, Mirra, Finlayson (Yeo, Seedsman)
MID: Dow, Garlett, Cripps, Higgins (Richmond), Petracca, D.Martin, Coniglio, Caddy (Wingard, Stephenson, Armitage)
RUC: Kreuzer, Simpson, (Cox)
FWD: Rioli, Walters, Daniher, Fogarty, Christensen, Smith (Franklin, Giles-Langdon)
$72K in bank

Sc_Wow · 20/03/2018 at 13:37
Krussse and Crippa in that team, so its looking pretty good.
Franklin and Yeo are solid bench cover.

The Ranger · 20/03/2018 at 14:35
Stick the C on Garlett and ya done Lek.

Dermin8r · 20/03/2018 at 19:00
Which Rioli? There are 3 and they are all forwards. 🙂
(I've got all of them in my AFL Dream team just as a cheeky gimmick, reckon I should pop Long into my MID)

Gingging · 20/03/2018 at 12:33
Do you think lycett over Nic Nat?

Nerd Balls · 20/03/2018 at 12:37
Really just looking for a cash grab and upgrade arouns the byes. Surely he can average 80. any better options aroun dhis price?

Derek · 20/03/2018 at 12:44
NicNat is not as cheap as I thought he would be

BadgerHoney7 · 20/03/2018 at 12:51
Nic Nat is playing, and will be number 1 ruck in that side, so ultimately Nic Nat

Holty · 20/03/2018 at 13:11
I think Lycett was mainly mentioned as a option through the preseason as Nic Nat maybe missing early. Now some reports saying he might be ready r1, im not sure he is a great pick anymore. Ur backs and mids look solid. Forward line i believe u should rethink. Its a tough line to fill this year so dont make it tougher. Selecting 3 midpricers that u are hoping will all take the next step is wishful thinking. U will be needing to make a lot of corrective trades and potentially u will run out of trades come seasons end.

neil demons delight · 20/03/2018 at 15:09
Disagree Hotly The only other way would be prems and rookies. I would think of the prems Buddy is a lock but too dear Heeney is not much better than 3 midpricers and Billings un reliable then you have your expensive rookies/ etc BELL CHRISTIANSEN RAYNER STEPHENSON. All 4 have better J S than your rubbish rookies led by Fritsch but are a risk I would not take a chance with ANY FORWARD ROOKIES two of Heeney/billings/ buddy and 4 midpricers I would even go further and have the flog Sicily linked to Brander as a 7th forward trusting only Fritsch even that is a HUGE RISK NO ONFIELD FORWARD ROOKIES FOR ME

BadgerHoney7 · 20/03/2018 at 12:37
Or going Sicily to defense then Tracca down forward

BadgerHoney7 · 20/03/2018 at 12:56
Its a trap

Coz311 · 21/03/2018 at 09:38
Really like the team if you are going for league win. If going for rank there’s too many round 14 bye players IMO. F1 to F3 and D1 to D3 on that bye plus Danger, Dusty and Fyfe. Dusty to Kelly would help that and a few other changes might be necessary across lines.

Fearthebeard · 21/03/2018 at 21:04
Yep just gunning for league wins mate lol

DacZawson · 20/03/2018 at 13:07
No personally I see three as the way to go

Lekdog · 20/03/2018 at 13:36
Never forget

BrownlowBoy · 20/03/2018 at 15:11
Settled on your team yet Derek?

Lekdog · 20/03/2018 at 13:37
Wingard said in an interview that he's likely to play majority forward, turned me off him
Love the Hurley pick
Solid side with some nice risks

Da Boysh · 20/03/2018 at 13:43
Thanks Lek! Didn't realise that about Chad I will bring someone else in… but who is the question.
Loving the podcast guys

Sc_Wow · 20/03/2018 at 14:00
Greene could go well if he stays out of trouble, good early draw too

Sc_Wow · 20/03/2018 at 13:46
Solid league side, don't see it being competitive in overall

Da Boysh · 20/03/2018 at 13:50
Thanks, any easy fixes you think or the whole side is just not really suited?

Sc_Wow · 20/03/2018 at 13:58
I think it will be really hard to be competitive without danger, looking like he will miss one game at most.
It will be such a hard task to bring him in once his is playing and you're going to miss out on his early round points, and cost your self some trades in the process.
Only fwd rookie I'm banking on is Fritz, Keefe will be a borderline selection as will Garlett, and I don't like to scoring potential of Ryan enough to have him on field. I've had to go 5 deep in the fwd line, and rely on the more secure backline rookies.
Cameron won't play much, and won't make too much money, I personally like the loophole option for r3 and saving myself 20k

Derek · 20/03/2018 at 14:16
Who are your rucks Trev?

Sc_Wow · 20/03/2018 at 14:26
No sure if you're referring to me as you've called me Trev a few times.
Im going with Kruuuse and Gawn
-Not Trev

neil demons delight · 20/03/2018 at 15:27
I totally agree trev sorry WOW BUT even Fritz is risky at F 6 let alone Garlett Ryan Rioli the GWS kid or KEEFE unless you have him linked to SICILY (DEF) The Defensive rookies will make coin.
LOCKED GAWN and KREUZ /olango cheers N D D

Browncow · 20/03/2018 at 17:38
Thanks Rusty?????

Da Boysh · 20/03/2018 at 14:18
thanks heaps for the feedback definitely agree with R3 I think I will do that, i am considering upgrading Garlett to a mid price FWD I have just enough cash for someone around the 300k mark

Lekdog · 20/03/2018 at 13:38
Only played a half of JLT, banking on a big breakout…I think he'll be relevant just not this year

Tibor · 20/03/2018 at 17:21
There is a reason Petracca and Smith cost more. It is based on their past performance but the likely improvements in both players and teams only adds to this. Carlton should improve but both Dees and Drug cheats should both be a season advanced

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 20/03/2018 at 19:55
Derek.
Not sure what happened to SC Addict and a couple of others, no one knows but this has created a couple of spots in the happy place league.
If you want to join and go head to head with the boyz the league code is:
123493.
Lets get ready to rumble.

Sc_Wow · 20/03/2018 at 13:38
If you want to be competitive in overall standings danger is a must

neil demons delight · 20/03/2018 at 15:35
ThiNk I will agree with you you're CRAZY . DANGER TICH DUSTY and fyfe are must haves as quick as possible KELLY OLIVER ZERRETT and M.CROUCH make up the rest BUT points scored between 8 and 12 i.e. crouch and bont/neale is minimal

Sc_Wow · 20/03/2018 at 15:38
Crazy

Marcus · 20/03/2018 at 14:10
Great work.
Looks like should go for cheapest DPP from WC, Melb, Freo, or Norf.

DacZawson · 20/03/2018 at 14:08
Regardless of rookies named I don't think Rayner is anywhere near worth 200k. I'd downgrade Coniglio or another mid down to a rookie and then Rayner to a premo forward

TrillieFarley · 20/03/2018 at 20:24
Thanks Dac. I’m working on moving some things around to turn Rayner into Christensen.
Think I might throw Sicily back and turn Savage into Petracca. Then again, I’m sure I will have 100 different team structures switched around between now and lock out lol

dom · 22/03/2018 at 11:54
Great team you piece of shiit.

DacZawson · 20/03/2018 at 15:29
I wanna be constructive but get rid of Stratton, Ellis, Dow, Lycett, Darling, Day, Lloyd and Rayner, then move Mitch Robinson to the forwards. Also Andrew Brayshaw needs to be on field

Derek · 20/03/2018 at 17:07
gosh…..

INPieman · 20/03/2018 at 14:24
Murray absolute lock. Not sure about Stephenson

Sc_Wow · 20/03/2018 at 14:25
The one that doesn't have Shuey in it

Tom · 20/03/2018 at 21:53
2nd option

Nathan · 20/03/2018 at 21:58
And I'd say Coniglio because of libbas inconsistency

Tyruddanaut · 20/03/2018 at 17:44
Martins scoring comes almost solely from ruck positioning so if Archie Smith is named, then back off

Tyruddanaut · 20/03/2018 at 17:44
Stefan by the way

BloodyFranklin · 21/03/2018 at 10:27
Yes on Garlett to Banfield. 👌
Your call on the rucks. 😶

Tyruddanaut · 20/03/2018 at 17:43
Love your team, but have some small issues with some players.
Bonner:
Too expensive for a cash cow, too cheap for a keeper, doesn’t score enough to be a combination
Oliver:
Young, inexperienced, but could explode and get 120, too uncertain as a keeper for me
Kreuzer:
Bloody good, but expensive. You have to back him in to average 110 plus
Sicily:
Flogometer: 99.99%
Ahern:
Bad JS bad scoring potential

BrownlowBoy · 20/03/2018 at 21:23
Thanks mate, much appreciated!

Coz311 · 21/03/2018 at 09:41
Disagree with Oliver you can lock him in. Also only question mark on Kreuzer is his health so if you trust him to stay on the park pick with confidence.

noah · 21/03/2018 at 11:44
Ahern might not get a game this year.

KSinny · 21/03/2018 at 11:55
I'd say downgrade either Sicily or Savage to someone like Naughton or O'shea to free up some cash and upgrade libba to a Premo.

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 12:41
O'Shea wont be named

Northernsoul74 · 20/03/2018 at 18:19
A few Geelong rookies on your bench in O’Connor, Constable, and Miers. Do you know something we don’t?

Starkingdom · 20/03/2018 at 18:28
O'Connor should be a regular, Constable is a jet and will improve fast when he gets a start. Haven't heard much about Miers yet.

Starkingdom · 20/03/2018 at 16:46
Kelly has to be your priority out of those 2 options. How many rookies will you have on field if you picked option 1?

Steve · 20/03/2018 at 17:16
4 down back, 2 mids, 2 forwards
Thoughts?

Starkingdom · 20/03/2018 at 17:22
Maybe you need to select option 2 so you have 7 on field. I think 8 is too many, you might fall behind really quick. i have 6 first year players on field and Bonner.

Steve · 20/03/2018 at 18:07
Cheers!

Starkingdom · 20/03/2018 at 16:48
Billings for me. Smith will be ok early while full of steam then he'll fade whereas Jack is ready to go to another level.

Derek · 20/03/2018 at 17:02
big price difference though, not really a like for like compare

Mick · 20/03/2018 at 22:28
Both

Derek · 20/03/2018 at 17:01
round 14 will be a challenge

Tibor · 20/03/2018 at 17:29
Other than your Ryder reasoning I reckon you've got a ripper side. As a demon supporter I'm wary on Fritsch because even if he plays early they have a recent history of giving them a taste then putting them away again, did it with Hannan last year and Oliver the year before, might play then disappear before you can cash in

Northernsoul74 · 20/03/2018 at 17:58
Question is how long does Fogarty stay in?

The Ranger · 20/03/2018 at 18:03
Only until Tex comes back

DacZawson · 20/03/2018 at 19:10
I think I'll leave him out to start, but then if he scores well and Tex returns for round 3 and Fog retains his spot, I'll get him in

Macca · 20/03/2018 at 19:19
What i'm thinking

Rick Grimes · 21/03/2018 at 17:18
Another thought, Fog starts brilliantly and demands a spot, aka SPP. You wait til round 3 to get him in but low and behold you have other more pressing issues to address and miss out entirely. Forward rookies with scoring potential are pretty thin on the ground.

Defying_Madness · 20/03/2018 at 19:30
Yeah so it looks like Murphy won't play

The Ranger · 20/03/2018 at 18:12
Like all KPF's he tends to drop in value at some point and that's when you try and get him in.

Starkingdom · 20/03/2018 at 18:17
Still deciding between Buddy and Heeney, can't have both until after the byes.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 20/03/2018 at 19:59

BrownlowBoy · 20/03/2018 at 18:21
There was over 40 blokes who retired last year and god knows how many injuries per club and hundreds of players who did nothing in the pre season.
At least give out the position.

I must take the first answer which was Sam Docherty. And I must inform everyone that that was infact wrong. @brownlowboy the position is actually the 2nd clue which will be revealed at 7pm (every hour on the hour remember) stayed tuned. #cantherealsharkmovepleasestanduppleasestandup

Sc_Wow · 21/03/2018 at 15:20
Zorko if you like getting scores of 200

KSinny · 21/03/2018 at 15:37
then 56 the next week

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 16:09
Zorko's never scored 200. He's scored 150+ 7-times in 122 games his goals are the difference
Merrett has never scored a 150 in his 80-ish games

therealdreamteam · 20/03/2018 at 19:39
Naughton.
Played against men (WAFL) tick
Better job security tick
Better JLT scores tick
I also argue that he may have the more SuperCoach relevant game, as intercept marks/possessions are worth gold.

Keenbutclueless · 20/03/2018 at 20:06
My only concern on Naughton is that the coach said he has that spot because of the move of Easton Wood forward. So far Wood hasn’t fired up forward, and the coach only had to call time on that, or Naughton gets towelled up and he might move Wood back.
You can find a knock on most rookies, if you look hard enough, so maybe this a little churlish. But just made me wary of trusting him as a lock

Northernsoul74 · 20/03/2018 at 19:57
Best I can come up with is Dusty does usually thrown in the odd poor game. He’s not immune to the odd 60/70 point game.

WoW_Trevor · 20/03/2018 at 20:41
Dusty because a fend off that touches the throat is contact above the shoulder and in 2018 it will correctly be a FA. even if the other player bends their knees

With the lack of fwd rooks Sammy, I'd swing Sic fwd and grab an extra def rook.

Hmmm but he had a pretty good JLT I thought

hedski · 20/03/2018 at 21:48
Its Derek's mate Barlow.

Keenbutclueless · 20/03/2018 at 20:22
It was going to be Oliver. Same game, so easy. Also doesn’t have round 14 bye. But now he is in doubt also.

TOPHAWK1 · 20/03/2018 at 20:27
Oliver in doubt now as well?? He is a starter in my side at the moment. What is the problem with Oliver?

Defying_Madness · 20/03/2018 at 20:29
Copped a knock to his knee in the second JLT match

TOPHAWK1 · 20/03/2018 at 20:40
I remember that, but thought nothing of it at the time. Wow. Imagine both Danger AND Oliver being both late outs. Some serious scheit will hit the fan! Will be keeping a close eye on Mr Oliver…

Defying_Madness · 20/03/2018 at 20:24
I want to do it but there aren't really any players from the last two games that I would be confident keeping in my team. I have been burnt by Sydney midfielders too many times to consider them. Maybe Oliver but ideally I would start with both.

TOPHAWK1 · 20/03/2018 at 20:29
I have been lucky with Parker. Did not have him last year, but had him the year before where he was very good. The 2018 JLT games suggest he could be back to full fitness and back to his best. At $537K he is a nice POD over Cripps.

Defying_Madness · 20/03/2018 at 20:32
At the moment I have selected the top 6 midfielders by average from last year apart from Ablett who I have replaced with Fyfe.
Last year I had Hanners and JPK in the midfield and I think the year before I had 2 sydney mids as well. I could have pushed deeper into the top 1000 without them.

StevoRivo · 20/03/2018 at 20:34
Hawk, I’m holding Danger, expecting him to miss Round 1 only and will run with Titch or Fyfe as C. It means a rook comes in off the bench (Kelly, Banfield Barry), so points conceded. Don’t want the hassle of trading him back in if he goes bang and pulls out a couple of 150’s straight up. I like the Parker starting pick and hope it works for you though.

Tyruddanaut · 20/03/2018 at 20:56
Don't love this approach since a trade is a trade and luxury trades aren't necessary

belly button fluff · 20/03/2018 at 21:22
I have an idea to use Dusty as my coin flip , my Harvey Dent (Two Face). I would love to see what happens with Danger in one game before putting him in my team anyway.
I predict Danger will score 100 110 in the first, and would like to see how he shapes up with slight niggle and Gablett. Danger is extremely expensive.
-So I will vice Dusty.
– If Dusty scores 100 to 120 I go Danger on Sunday as captain. If he doesn't play I still have Dusty's score, save a trade with chance of 110+ if he does play.
– If Dusty scores below I don't go Danger I keep Crouch captain Kelly. As I may wish to dump Dusty for Danger following week.
-If Dusty scores above I don't go Danger I keep Crouch loophole Olango. See if Danger drops go crouch to him later or even cogs if he works out.
Hows that for a convoluted plan that puts all the blame on Dusty if anything goes wrong? hehe… 😉

Sc_Wow · 20/03/2018 at 21:36
Planning trades that early is asking for trouble

belly button fluff · 20/03/2018 at 22:40
Thanks for sharing some of your thoughts over recent posts Wow. I think I have finally finished.

Sc_Wow · 20/03/2018 at 22:46
No worries that’s what I’m here for mate

BockChoy · 20/03/2018 at 21:38
Agree on the podcast – it did occur to me while listening that Lek and Patch are now starting build their own brand into this and the graph has been going up steeply.
I'm not starting Danger or Dusty. I have a view that all players are overpriced at the start of the year and it won't take much for those uber-premos to drop in value and be open for the snapping up.

belly button fluff · 20/03/2018 at 22:09
Yeah but as Wow is implying, its more trades used too. I think the biggest fall comes from Danger. The others are worth losing a little money on. If Danger falls it is the biggest hit of any player. He is very overpriced. Yet for some reason I'm still trying to get him in even as a bench for round one. Oh crikey I'm going mad.

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 04:36
Danger may rise, fall whatever, but he's the only player in the whole AFL who scores so many big tons so often, more than any other player.

Derek · 20/03/2018 at 23:03
Pay the price!

TOPHAWK1 · 20/03/2018 at 23:16
Trust me. I will pay the right price for Patrick Dangerfield.

Patch · 20/03/2018 at 23:37
Cheers mate! I love a good hypothetical but every time I try to plan early trades it falls apart and something goes wrong. I just don't trust the Supercoach gods to let me execute a plan like that. So much can go wrong but if you're confident, go for it.
If he misses two you're laughing.

JohnDJ59 · 21/03/2018 at 02:43
I'm going with Titch and Fyfe as my C&VC,for the first five rounds,then plan to get Danger in round six.If there wasn't any doubt about Dangers fitness I wouldn't even be thinking about it,he's usually first picked for the mids,but with Ablett there and now the hammy,I want to wait and see how it goes.Yes I know it will probably bite me on the bum,but that's what I'm doing.

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 04:05
Hey Hawk, I wouldn't bother mate, just keep him I say, it's only one game, even if he misses, you can make up the points during the season if you have a solid team, why burn a trade if you don't have to, Leagues don't start until round 3 anyway..and most of us should play for Leagues first and rank second, winning the 50 grand is like hoping to win Lotto.
The overwhelming issue most teams had last year was a lack of trades at the end.
If he misses round 1, he'll be back round 2 for sure, it was just a minor strain.
P.S, it's definitely in Australian English…no offence. 🙂

TOPHAWK1 · 20/03/2018 at 20:34
Nice side on paper, but your team is extremely cash generation weak. No Doedee?, no Murray?, Garlett unlikely to start, Dom Barry poor job security, and Timothy English onfield? He is is unlikely to play at all come round 1. The core team looks good, but you need to fix your rookies, and fast IMO. Good luck mate!

Heg · 20/03/2018 at 20:43
Thanks so much for the help. I really appreciate it.

TOPHAWK1 · 20/03/2018 at 20:45
No worries at all.

StevoRivo · 20/03/2018 at 20:26
Depends on your set up James. He’s not a bad option at F5 but with so few rooks to start this season you should have a good set of forwards at F1-4. Wait for selections tomorrow/Thursday re rook options.

James · 20/03/2018 at 20:32
At the moment my fwd line is Heeney, Greene, Billings, Venables, Fritsch and Ryan

StevoRivo · 20/03/2018 at 20:38
So Christensen at F4 is a risk as it means 2 rooks at F5 and 6. The options of Bell, McCartin (StK) are worth looking at for F4 and 5, then Ryan or Fritsch at F6?

James · 20/03/2018 at 21:13
This is the rest of my team, I’d really appreciate some more suggestions, cheers.
Def: Laird, Hibberd, Sicily, Naughton, Doedee, Murray BENCH: finlayson, Murphy
Mid: Dusty, Titch, Kelly, Zorko, Fyfe, Cripps, Brodie, Banfield BENCH: Kelly, Barry, Holman
Rucks: Ryder, Gawn BENCH: Cameron
Fwd: Heeney, Greene, Billings, Venables, Fristch, Ryan BENCH: Keefe, ZGL

Mickey · 21/03/2018 at 09:43
3 rooks in the fwd line is too many this year mate.

Defying_Madness · 20/03/2018 at 20:27
I have McCartin and a few others ahead of him at the present contending for F5

TOPHAWK1 · 20/03/2018 at 20:50
Yeah, I am also considering Mc Cartin at $234K. I know he is a bit mid pricey, but the kid is young and so much upside there now that Saint Nick has departed. His JLT form pretty good too. At the end of the day, we have to take a risk somewhere in the forward line this year. I have tossed up Tom Bell, Christensen, and even Rayner the rook. Right now, my gut says Mc Cartin.

StevoRivo · 20/03/2018 at 20:40
Ryder easily.

Defying_Madness · 20/03/2018 at 20:46
I wouldn't pick Savage if someone had a gun to my head, however if you're fine with the risk pick him. Apart from that team looks solid.

Tyruddanaut · 20/03/2018 at 20:53
What's the risk with him? I'm going mainly off statistics but he just seems to rack up points

Defying_Madness · 20/03/2018 at 22:08
Look at his scoring history for starters. His role could also change at any moment. Has trap written all over him.

TOPHAWK1 · 20/03/2018 at 21:11
You are too light on in your FWD line IMO. Giles Langdon on field? Not a snowballs chance in hell of that happening in my side. Venables and Garlett probably wont play round one either. Payne, Murphy and Pittonet are probably non starters also. Just my take buddy.

Tyruddanaut · 20/03/2018 at 21:25
How do you like this?
Out: PAYNE, CONIGLIO, VENABLES
IN: NAUGHTON, O'Connor, SICILY

BrownlowBoy · 20/03/2018 at 21:17
Along with Sloane and Atkins

Sully · 20/03/2018 at 21:45
If he plays Round 1 he is in my team also. Averages 100 when played as sole ruck (3 games = small sample size I admit)

HarryH · 21/03/2018 at 04:32
Yep not sure if this one is a shark move. I think most people recognise less than 400k for a 1st ruck in a top team is a sweet deal. The only reason he has low ownership is an injury interrupted pre season. If he's named round 1, expect his ownership to soar. I for one have him in and have for the last month but will second guess myself if not named!

therealsharkmove · 22/03/2018 at 12:54
It is HarryH. Unless of course you're Harry Houdini and trying to give us false hope through an illusion spell!

neil demons delight · 20/03/2018 at 21:50
should read 2 1 3 mids 4 1 3 fwds 2 3 1 If Coniglio is a midpricer then so are LLOYD WALTERS MCLEAN and SMITH Cameron is a waste I would go OLANGO and definitely Comiglio to DANGER .Forwards and Defence is tops and zerrett/crouch are good choices

DustyCut · 20/03/2018 at 21:58
Yeh, fair enough. Cheers for the Olango tip, did he get elevated or something?

JohnDJ59 · 21/03/2018 at 02:29
No just good for the C loophole,since WCE play most of their games at the end of the rounds.

JohnDJ59 · 20/03/2018 at 22:48
I'm still trying to work out how the hell you only have 5k left with that team.I would like to know who your other mid is as well,whether he is a premo or a rookie.Apart from that there are only a few things I would change.Out of the team would go Shaw, Goldy and Dahlhaus. In to the team could come Mills,for Shaw,Brayshaw just needs to be your first picked rookie in the mids,Nank or Ryder for Goldy,Walters or McLean for Dahlhaus. Hope that helps,ps I also prefer Buddy over Heeney,but that's just me.

Steeeve · 21/03/2018 at 08:06
Other mid was Fyfe.
I hate the rucks this year. Thinl Goldy can be back in top foem though. Even with nobody to hit to should average 100 I hope.
Shaw is a risk but showed his old kick happy quarterback form in JLT. Mills won't get much mid time.
Dahl I agree with you. I've gone him down to McLean.
Still don't have enpugh to get Brayshaw in unless it's for Brodie. I dropped Coniglio and added Brayshaw, Coffield and Christenson but thought 'what am i doing?'. Cogs should average 105, good for m8 until a late luxury trade. Why drop him for vasically three high priced rookies??
Maybe I could go Shaw down and bring in those other three but I really think he can average 90.

Steeeve · 20/03/2018 at 21:54
… but lots of people would have Lobb
If he was going to play

Northernsoul74 · 20/03/2018 at 21:58
Sounds like he’s a chance for round 1.

Steeeve · 20/03/2018 at 22:26
True, as is Simpson. It's unfortunate, he was in ny first draft of a team but if he's underdone and sharing ruck duties you'd be brave to select him.

Nathan · 20/03/2018 at 21:41
You're forward line is far too weak. Most of the rookies you have there are highly doubtful for Rd 1. I suggest moving Sicily forward and trading venebles for someone like O'Connor down back

BrownlowBoy · 20/03/2018 at 21:44
Averaged 70 across JLT

Patch · 20/03/2018 at 23:47
Like it mate. Not sure on Lloyd's output when McVeigh is back, but the rest is excellent. Two questions:
Ellis-Yolman? Is he there to make cash or points? Not sure he'll do enough of either in that slot
How will you pick up Danger? Is there spare cash about?
Otherwise looking good despite my concerns on Caddy.

J.Bronson · 21/03/2018 at 20:08
Cheers Patch. I'm confident with Lloyd when Mcveigh is in the team (Swans supporter haha). Ellis-Yolmen is a good player but job security probably isnt ideal with Adelaide having such great depth- cya.
Have fiddled around with other stuff, fully set apart from whether M7 is dow brayshaw or stephenson.
Bugger all cash left.
Laird, Hibberd, Lloyd, Bonner, Doedee, Murray (Finlayson, L Murphy)

Like your side Goodo, and the Bonner pick, I've got him too, hoping he gets a start and stays for awhile, should score well and make some money.

GOODO71 · 21/03/2018 at 00:37
Cheers mate. Fingers, toes and everything else crossed. Seems to score alright when he gets a game.

JohnDJ59 · 21/03/2018 at 02:33
I noticed that as well Russty,when I clicked on my history to get back into it this morning,it said it didn't exist.

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 02:35
Hiya John, bloody weird for sure, wonder if admin can explain it?

JohnDJ59 · 21/03/2018 at 02:55
No my only private one is Sons and the other good one,Jolly Roger,the last spot went four days ago,we have a lot of activity on the chat&comment in that one,those three I put up to fill went really fast as well.If I had known last week I could have got you in to the Jolly Roger,it was on 17 teams for a while.

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 02:57
No worries mate, I might start a last minute league and see what happens 🙂

Sc_Wow · 21/03/2018 at 07:46
They messsed up the edit mate. Left some naughty language in there directed at the DrSC lads.

Coz311 · 21/03/2018 at 09:30
I’d go Cogs or Libba. Who are you leaning towards out of those two Gord. Cogs just for mine but very close.

Gord29 · 21/03/2018 at 22:19
currently have cogs in there at the moment. Libba is that bit cheaper, more of a pod and i will need to upgrade them later

Gord29 · 21/03/2018 at 01:03
nice looking team. I personally wouldnt start all 3 of cripps, cogs and libba they are cheap for what they should produce but i dont see them as keepers

Coz311 · 21/03/2018 at 09:27
True that’s my concern. Do you reckon downgrade Kreuzer to Nank or Martin and upgrade Libba?

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 09:41
Same. Try going teo big guns and a rookie, say, Kelly, Merret and Brodie instead. See what that feels like

Coz311 · 21/03/2018 at 09:53
I’ve got to have one of cogs or Libba I’m afraid. Looking at downgrading Kreuzer currently to Nank and then upgrading Libba to Kelly.

Sc_Wow · 21/03/2018 at 10:10
Why? Kruse is a lock. Set and forget. Don’t put to many players in your team that you just want to trade. Lib and cog won’t be top 10

Coz311 · 21/03/2018 at 10:17
I’m not going to have both Libba and Cogs but want to run with one as I think there’s value there.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 10:30
I reckon Cog is more likely to be top ten than Libbe. Coniglio is a lock for mine.

Locked and Loaded · 22/03/2018 at 05:43
Cripps will be a keeper

Gord29 · 21/03/2018 at 02:20
Solid team! Like that fwd line, it is heavy but you shouldnt need to do any trades in there apart from one upgrade. I like to keep some cash in the bank for a corrective trade early

Sc_Wow · 21/03/2018 at 08:03
Team looks solid mate, strong with some smart pod selections. Zorko and Parker are both guns. Keep an eye on Barry to see if he gets in ports best 22

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 09:37
Very good team. Might be ready to go

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 06:56
Bumperama…Oilyboids 🙂

Sc_Wow · 21/03/2018 at 07:35
Good luck russty I’m in. You seem like you’ve got you’re head screwed on right so should be good competition.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 21/03/2018 at 09:16
Dont wanna join the happy place now?

Jay · 21/03/2018 at 09:47
Trig is there any more room?

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 13:55
Ah crap Trigga I assumed it'd be full mate..sorry, hopefully I'll still be welcome next year, think we're in 2 or 3 together anyways 🙂

Finnius · 21/03/2018 at 18:32
What is the code Trigga?

GOODO71 · 21/03/2018 at 09:18
I'm IN!!

KSinny · 21/03/2018 at 10:11
I'm in, Good luck everyone!

Nuggety · 21/03/2018 at 10:22
Cheers Russty Im in!

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 13:56
Hey guys…thanks for entering everyone, let's have a good season 🙂

Mike · 21/03/2018 at 10:18
any chance theres 2 spots left?

DacZawson · 21/03/2018 at 09:26
Nank and Billings
Olango
Banfield

StevoRivo · 21/03/2018 at 10:28
Thanks Dac. Will wait to see If Archie Smith is picked. Looks like Garlett may play?

Marty · 21/03/2018 at 17:31
Garlett will play. Reluctant with Banfield as both Hills are yet to come back.

StevoRivo · 21/03/2018 at 21:58
Yep, just to make it a slightly harder decision.
Both players a risk. Sleepless night ahead.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 09:37
Mambert.
Olango Bloom.
Banfield.

StevoRivo · 21/03/2018 at 11:18
Thanks Whatya!
Mambert feeling like a better POD option, only concern is Archie Smith.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 09:44
I like this team a lot Gaz. Yep I'm not sold on Sicily yet, and if he sets the world on fire for a defender is it going to cost us much to upgrade or get him later ? not really, not much to miss out on there.
I'm thinking you could take a risk position there……..what about McCartin? Jackson.T (ruck duties…..)?
I like Luke Ryan personally but can understand he's probably as risky or more risky than Sicily, but opinion is opinion.
And I don't rate Taberner or Christensen, has Taberner changed roles or teams? if not forget him.
Edit – My reasoning with Taberner is that price……………

belly button fluff · 21/03/2018 at 09:00
Sissy because DPP otherwise either. See who is named and where with Naughton or Coff leaning toward Coff lollie for JS.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 09:35
I like Ryan personally but take your pick. Naughton should have solid JS due to doggies down Adams and possibly others I forget. Research those factors thoroughly.

Steeeve · 21/03/2018 at 15:36
Dale morris too

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 16:15
Ryan and Naughton.
Sicily will burn you and coffield probably wont play round 1

belly button fluff · 21/03/2018 at 08:55
I like it. Don't like Parker atm, but if you do nice POD. Also would prefer one rookie forward on field instead of two. Wait and see who's named I guess.

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 09:47
I jumped on Parker when I saw him last week. I know it was only JLT but it was the way he was running to every contest, he had a look in his eye that said he was ready for a massive year.
The swans will not start 0-6 again.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 10:51
Yep parker looks set for a big one, and you're spot on I don't think they'll be starting like last year.

belly button fluff · 21/03/2018 at 11:25
Your actually tempting me Smoky and Derek. Would free up some cash for me so I don't have to take the weitering/tab risk in my team. Going to watch a couple of replay swans matches. After last year with having treloar and hanneberry in my team. I'm reluctant to take on a premium POD. I want the top 8 mids this year only. 🙂

belly button fluff · 21/03/2018 at 12:41
nup not changing lol.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 09:33
Defense is thiiiiiin. Which is ok if other lines are solid. But let's face it that forwardline is about as solid as an ikea product left outside for a couple of years.
Christen-sun is a massive risk, and Stephenson I had to search for his crappy scores because I known I'd seen him but he disappeared off my radar so quick I forgot who he was. Averaging 50 over the JLT and almost 200K? Nah yeah just friggin Nah mate.
I hope you can prove me wrong but I fear that team if it goes poorly will be way behind the 8 ball by the time it hits round 4.

belly button fluff · 21/03/2018 at 09:47
Hey Smoky Don't you think The doggies will chuck a rookie out for a mediocre game before SK would? I think SK would give the rookie an extra chance. I know there are a couple down for the dogs but they still have plenty don't they?

belly button fluff · 21/03/2018 at 09:49
posted on wrong thread sorry Smoky this is meant to be up one. 😀

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 10:52
I'm really not sure on the best JS on those. Haven't researched as thoroughly this year as others to be honest.

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 13:38
we Might see if we can organise a champions league.
People who finish first in their league prior to finals go into JR Champions of Champions Final Series.
Just need someone with a spreadsheet.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 09:07
Sicily is a risk too. There is no way he counted as a premo yet there's nothing to back that up other than a few games late last year, and remember he did get a 29 SC with 89% TOG? During that patch of excellence. A small patch of form is one thing, a proven scorer is another.

belly button fluff · 21/03/2018 at 09:38
yeah true. I guess I actually have 4 risks in my team but one of these two will be the risky risk risk. 😀

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 09:45
Yeah I hear ya. Just pointing out not to count chickens before they've hatched. made that mistake before thinking I have 15 keepers when in reality I had 10 lol.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 10:32
Brodie and caddy. Yep i said it. Had caddy in my team, feel like Richmond being successful will translate to more points for him, but have since looked at myself in the mirror and ditched him.

HallyMate · 21/03/2018 at 10:56
I love a good forward pod but Richmond were pretty successful last season and Caddy pulled out one ton for the year, any reason why that would change?

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 14:49
Yep that's why he's out for me. when he's up and about he looks alright. But then again so does a bag of potatoes when it's up and about in a chip shop. (yeah that analogy doesn't work)

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 12:49
doesn't really make sense to me Hally.
Your asking if you should have Jaeger at M7 or Brodie at M8. Who's your M7 if Brodie is M8 and who is your M8 if Jaeger is M7?
Then you ask Bell at F5 or a selection of potatoes at F4. Who will be the F4 if Bell is F5 and who will be F5 if a future french fry is F4?

HallyMate · 21/03/2018 at 14:37
Brayshaw will be M7 with Brodie, or M8 with Jaeger
Sicily will be F4 with Bell, or F5 with the potatoes Trev

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 15:16
Jaeger and Brayshaw is slightly less risky and has more upside than Brodie and Brayshaw F5 Sicily sounds brilliant Hally and if you turned Brodie into Banfield you might be able to get bell at F6

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 10:34
What about a big risk in Paddy McCartin? Surely as capable as any of those and cheaper?
22 maybe break out time into an average of 80-ish? Could be a good trade out at bye time as the season wares on also.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 10:45
Im a crows fan but still not convinced with fogarty as tex will be back. Could burn me yes, but more than likely he will not get enough games in time to make the cash by the time you need it.
For a bit more you can lock in Paddy McCartin (I'm saying that name a lot for a some reason) but for one he has JS, he's a massive unit for a 22 year old and they've been developing him for a while now, I feel like he'll have a good year.
Ironically I'm listening to the podcast now and Higinbotham is talking about him.

KSinny · 21/03/2018 at 11:00
Cheers for the suggestion 👍

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 10:54
It does seem a couple too many, maybe you could exchange a couple around to players you are set on getting anyway?

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 12:50
Not if the remainder of your 22 is also premium which it could be by round 14

Sc_Wow · 21/03/2018 at 15:22
Rd 14 will be hard, looks like you have a spread, so at least they are not all grouped in 1 position. I think it’s hard to select a rd14 ruck though

Tiger Man · 21/03/2018 at 21:44
I have Nank at the movement, the rest do seem very ordinary

Tiger Man · 21/03/2018 at 21:43
Thanks fellas, have done some reshuffling and brought it down to 6.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 14:49
Oh he's down back in my team right next to Laird 😉

Ja191 · 21/03/2018 at 17:24
Problem with lloyd is McVeigh taking his role and subsequently going from 100-105 to 80-90. Check his scores with and without mcveigh

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 18:15
I am worried about that. have actually considered JJ……..but shhhhh

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 14:51
I like it generally speaking but are Petracca and Sicily going to do it for you. I suppose if one of them ends up top 8 you'd be ok.

Dan · 21/03/2018 at 17:49
Petracca should get much more midfield time and I think Melbourne will look for him on field. Sicily is my risk pick. Hoping he pays off. Wanted D.Smith there, but would have to sacrifice Coffield for him and I'm not confident in D.Smith as he is very injury prone.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 18:20
Should maybe.
"Christian Petracca: Pushing forward
Christian Petracca expects to start in the midfield against Geelong Cats at the MCG on Sunday, before pushing forward during Melbourne's season-opener"
That's on the Melbourne website as a title for a video.
I'm not convinced. I'd take Hogan at that 383K and I reckon he can lift that average of 70 up to 85, with fitness (I assume he's had a good preseason) and a lot of ball up forward (maxy gawn in good shape, emerged guns like Oliver among many others……loss of Viney is big but not everything they have depth)
Both of them have great potential, in different ways, at the end of the day there's a bit of luck involved 😉

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 14:59
Wait so you've got Ryan in defense too I'm assuming? One short back there and obviously not referring to rookie ryan as a pod. like that pick as the defense seems a hard one, JLT numbers were solid without being too spectacular and misleading.
I have laird, Loyd and Ryan currently myself, I wanna see how the savage and sicilies of the world pan out because I'm trying to avoid the burns, can't see ryan losing anything only getting better, but this is all biased personal perception in the end. (love this game haha)
I like the Witts pick. He was getting big hit out numbers last year. Was a great pick that I backed in from the start.
His numbers from the JLT aren't terrible, although there's one problem I see in his way and that is Tom Nicholls. But what Ruck doesn't currently have another trying to steal his thunder. Go with your gut, perhaps they are easing Nicholls back into it, just remember the early BYE round…………

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 12:40
Merret

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 15:01
yeah Zerrett/Nank but would prefer Zerrett and Martin 😉

KSinny · 21/03/2018 at 12:14
I like it!

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 12:39
Inside mids don't really get tagged anymore Josh. Murphy is the one that teams tag even when Judd was still playing they tagged Murphy. That being said if you think that Parker is a better option go for him. Gibbs didn't give the ball to cripps by hand or foot ever, not once in a single game ever so his departure will have negligible effect on Cripps.
The thing that will affect Cripps is Mathew Kennedy who is a similar type of in and under player. Cripps will attend less stoppages this year and spend more time forward because of Kennedy. Cripps is as tall as most KPF's so if he can mark and kick straight he could have a 30 points increase over last year or, he could stay the same I don't see any reason that his score would decrease after his first ever complete preseason.

Josh · 21/03/2018 at 13:04
Thanks Trevor, appreciate the detailed response. I was leaning towards Parker, but now I'm really not sure. Both will have a good year but, just can't choose who will be have the better

GloryDays90 · 21/03/2018 at 12:47
Parker as he is a POD and will bounce back this year.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 15:03
I would pick Parker here. Or take Coniglio for a similar scorer but cheaper.

Weirdo · 21/03/2018 at 16:07
I've got both

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 16:27
or all three.

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 12:30
O'Shea isn't playing

Ricardo · 21/03/2018 at 12:57
change O'Shea to Coffield and that's a pretty good team!

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 15:04
Pretty solid Juddy, geez you must've played supercoach or been an AFL player before.

Shake_n_Bake_ · 21/03/2018 at 16:37
OShea Murray Keefee Ahern Narrier l dont think will get selected

hedski · 21/03/2018 at 17:38
Pretty sure Bucks said Murray is in Shake

Shake_n_Bake_ · 21/03/2018 at 17:58
My mistake. Murray certain not the other 4.

Chris_Judd · 21/03/2018 at 19:04
Narrier for loophole and ahern will be swapped for Garlett who has just been named. Already swapped O'Shea for Coffield but not sure what to do with keeffe.

Shake_n_Bake_ · 21/03/2018 at 20:59
Nice 👍

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 18:27
I like Ryder too, although that Bye round. was toying with cheap ruck combos but there's nobody that can do it. Had Dawson Simpson but then slapped myself around a bit.
With a ruck it's not bad though, for instance if we do a set and forget ruck combo, if everything goes to plan there will be no trading a ruck out, so you'll get the same amount of games out of your ruckmen as everyone else.
Geez Martin might be making way for Ryder shortly. Who's Ryder's competition at Port this year with Trengove gone? The Hoff?

GloryDays90 · 21/03/2018 at 12:46
Gray is out round 1, Dalhaus has to many question marks around him.
Better off with Billings, Walters, Lambert or McLean
Other than that not a bad team. Watch your rookies though as some may not play.

nbasportsandnews · 21/03/2018 at 12:49
Rookies are a question yeah waiting for teams really. Not sure if I mind Gray being out to be honest

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 15:10
No you should mind, because he's also out in the early bye round. That's two rounds of wasted 500K potential.
If you wait till say the second bye rounds (round 11 iirc)
Trade out a couple out of rookies/midpricers/failed premos – *who have their bye that upcoming weekend round 11*
&gt; Gray *who had his bye already*
Then you are getting the most out of your players.
You get ten games out of the players trade out. Gray comes in you get every game after that with Gray.
So not once will any of those players be warming your bench.
The way you are thinking if he misses round one and round 9. Then you're way behind the pack before you've started, benching a 500K player twice in the season.
(not being condescending just trying to explain clearly mate)

nbasportsandnews · 21/03/2018 at 15:19
I understand if you're going for overall obviously what you're saying adds up and possibly makes sense!
But you're also failing to remember that we are talking about a proven stud who had an average year last year and still managed to average 90+.. Who's to say in the games leading up to round 9 he doesn't average as many points if not more than another player who plays one game more. As for the round 9 bye if you plan well you can execute well…
Have to think in every aspect here we're talking about Gray at 500k and also who's to say like we've seen in many years before a rookie we play or loophole get an 80+ round 1 and match so called premos.Its fine to think of it as you have but narrow mindedness with no risks in this game gets you no where

nbasportsandnews · 21/03/2018 at 16:32
Pretty much why not take a risk with a gun because he only misses one game

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 18:30
Well I can't really see it being any better if playing for leagues or overall, I spose if Port have a good start to the season and you think he'll ton up plus some to win you a lot of games then fair enough.
But if he misses round one and on bench likely to lose those matches, plus round 9. Anyway hope it works out I see some pros but in my view the cons very much outweigh it 😉

GloryDays90 · 21/03/2018 at 13:05
Solid team mate, shoudlnt have to many issues with it. You could downgrade Petracca to Bell/Christensen if you want to upgrade Tuohy.

KSinny · 21/03/2018 at 13:24
Sicily

Dan · 21/03/2018 at 13:41
Thanks for that.
The other one I have is dahlhaus or McLean?

Ja191 · 21/03/2018 at 13:43
Mclean

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 15:12
Agree McLean. Dollhouse I feel let us all down last year.

Steeeve · 21/03/2018 at 15:37
Traded dahl out for mclean today. Mclean will receive more mid time.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 14:46
Neither. Got any more names? Taranto is an interesting option…….but nah. Sicily I suppose. What about Jackson Trengove? Going outside the box here……scored alright JLT. Doggies didn't get him for his haircut he'll be rucking a lot I imagine.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 14:44
Zerret, Zorko. Z power.

Steeeve · 21/03/2018 at 15:37
Pendles might be my choice

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 18:31
Haven't seen him mentioned much at all. It's crazy to think really………….

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 18:44
He'll probably surprise us all and start dropping big tons from the get go haha

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 18:42
I've swapped him over to Kelly, and hopefully can pick him up a bit later.

Sean's Mob · 21/03/2018 at 15:54
Have joined thanks

Tibor · 21/03/2018 at 14:07
Do whatever you want But GET Petracca

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 14:42
What about this as a spanner in the works…..get hogan instead of petracca. Not as crazy as it sounds. Melbourne should get lots of ball up there, plenty of inside 50's with Gawn knocking it down to a smorgasbord (For you McAvaney lol) of midfielders……………..
edit – And yeah bell could be a trap. Now look at the hidden code here…….Bonner……….Bell………will be your end………..

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 14:39
My midfield is looking like my undoing with both of them and Armitage in there.

Tibor · 21/03/2018 at 16:06
You win big if they all come good

Maverick · 21/03/2018 at 16:11
Yikes… please move on brayshaw

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 18:33
Oh Angus. thought you were talking Andrew. Always wanted him in my team. Then the whole head knocks and stuff. Pity. Nah ditch him pronto.

KSinny · 21/03/2018 at 13:54
I'd say try and upgrade libbs to a premo if u have the cash

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 14:38
Yep upgrade/downgrade Libbs.

Jay · 21/03/2018 at 15:49
I have both also (with $150k in the bank to upgrade to Danger)

Finnius · 21/03/2018 at 18:26
Or just go Libba to Danger and Coniglio to a rookie and don't take the risk. Get a premo elsewhere on the field with the extra dosh.

Tibor · 21/03/2018 at 13:58
Under normal circumstances it's a no to a young key forward but at the cheap price why the hell not he can play and the saints are far from the worst outfit to give him decent supply, Riewoldt retirement probably helps him emerge as his own player, he's a risk but so is anyone else.
Biggest negative is concussion history if he gets a smack in the head he won't just miss one game he'll likely miss the season with a melon transplant

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 14:18
i would go him ahead of christensen. plays forward in a better team. looked lively in JLT. just need him to have one big game to get a nice price increase likely to happen. cheaper than christensen.
have a think about balic

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 14:37
Yep he's locked into my team at the moment has a few seasons under his belt and is only one price rise above the other rookies (looking at the 170K type price range) not a whole heap in the forward line just strengthens that choice for me.
That said you only want a small handful of risky selections so depends on how many people are already taking.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 14:34
Arma for sure, way more room for value growth I reckon, and proven scorer. Graham would be a heck of a pick if he truly broke out but a stagnant hinderence in your team structure if he doesn't.
The kind that loses you the close matchups and slowly puts you behind the field.

Bells · 21/03/2018 at 14:20
aaahh took about 10 minutes but it arrived on some weird music player or other.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 14:10
Have considered it not crazy, although the bye kills the idea a bit right?

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 14:16
not sure Barry will get named. you can fit Coffield in mids and swing him with Finlayson

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 14:31
I suppose the only one to trade out for Coffield would be Naughton? I wouldn't go with many of those more expensive rookies unless they really look to be worth it ie brodie due to lack of GCS midfielders (Aaron hall is out with a broken finger right?) and Brayshaw selection speaks for itself.
If you feel Coffield is a better selection than naughton then I'd swap them. looking at scoring ability I'm going to swap them myself, and keep doedee, finlayson and murray as my other backline rooks.

Clueless · 21/03/2018 at 16:43
At the moment I've got 188k in the bank so I think I may do what Derek has suggested and move Barry on for Coffield. Thanks to both of you for the help, I really appreciate it

Steeeve · 21/03/2018 at 15:38
He's gonna be the dry humour guy. Lek will be the energetic wmotional one. Going to continue developing that chemistry. Give em time.

The Ranger · 21/03/2018 at 15:44
Mate go back and listen to Jock and the old crew in 2012, they were pretty rubbish to start with.
Jock even had a different voice!
Give the new boys some time, they'll be just fine.

Starkingdom · 21/03/2018 at 17:13
Don't be a dick Richard.

belly button fluff · 22/03/2018 at 17:24
I like Patch

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 15:29
Big Paddy

Maverick · 21/03/2018 at 15:43
Bell if someone can tell me his guaranteed solid midfield time . Otherwise go McCartin

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 16:05
Jesse hogan makes a fine F5

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 16:26
i have had Jessie at F5. Lobbe interests me now.

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 17:26
I'm going to start again just as soon as the teams are announced

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:01
You mean Lobb surely 😉 That is interesting. So is Trengove for me. Imagine slotting both of them in and getting away with it. maybe some cheeky gains come bye trades and a keeper in Lobb.

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 19:10
Lobb is also a good option.
it wouldn't be the first season i have started with Lobbe

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 15:30
Cheers. Now to work out who has the JS!!!

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 16:17
Did you mean Hunter Clarke instead of Hartung or is there another Hartung debuting

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 16:25
i guess they mean billy hartung is debuting for a different club.

The Ranger · 21/03/2018 at 16:38
Yep. Billy the Whizz at Norf.

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 16:45
being a hawks fan i had to put up with Billy for a few years. You knew that whenever he had the ball, the next person to have it would an opponent. worst kick in AFL

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 17:25
Maybe but Hunter Clark is playing

The Ranger · 21/03/2018 at 17:30
I'm tipping Garlett to be this years Menadue.
You pick him cos he's cheap and he's got the DPP and then he scores 40something for three games in a row and then misses the next 8 games and then gets a 67 but gets injured and is out for two rounds then he comes back and gets a few more 30's and a 53 and then he's dropped for the rest of the season and you hate yaself again for getting sucked in by small forwards.

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 17:37
He doesn't appear to be the most durable player in the comp and no more SC relevant than the first Garlett at Carlton. I've gone for a non-playing loopholer instead of Garlett

Rick Grimes · 21/03/2018 at 18:41
Didn't menadue clock up a 130 at some stage. I may have been dreaming but seem to recall spitting out my cornflakes in shock.

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 18:48
Menadue became Menapoo, so that means Garlett will become Fartlett

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:02
Solid.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:04
Zero thoughts. Like none. As in erase those thoughts.

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 19:10
Pretty high price for a 60 average Travo, I'd rather punt on Chistensen, McCartin , Fogarty or Stephenson.

ProTravo · 21/03/2018 at 15:40
Naughton, doubt Coffield will play. Not confident in Witherden.

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 16:24
am i already in that one gator?

gator59 · 21/03/2018 at 20:20
cheers mate

Maverick · 21/03/2018 at 15:51
McLean for me definitely

KSinny · 21/03/2018 at 16:01
agreed

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:05
Agree he'll at least hold his price. But is that what you want? he's in no man's land if he stagnates. No profit, but not near top 8-10 forwards.

Jay · 21/03/2018 at 17:24
Remember Darcy Byrne-Jones? Played a very similar role in his debut and skyrocketed in cash if I recall correctly!

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:07
Nope not falling for it. Price sucks to put it simply. One quite low score and he's a failure. There's room for error on cheaper players.

Holmesy · 21/03/2018 at 16:11
Gawn n goldy

Suiter · 21/03/2018 at 19:25
Both have the round 14 bye.

Suiter · 21/03/2018 at 19:26
What were his mids Holmes’s?

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:09
That's a really nice midfield, nice in general. Risky as in the backline but points will come in from elsewhere.

Starkingdom · 21/03/2018 at 17:18
Cogs and Hurls.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:10
Agree Huriglio.

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 16:51
Mills starting his third season. Ryan played 11 games. Numbers are in Mills favour.

Starkingdom · 21/03/2018 at 17:17
Mills is in a better team and is tempting at his price. I do remember when he was drafted there was a lot of positive talk about his skills and head for footy. He is now at the right age and experience to be the best defender for the Swans.
Ryan has got talent no doubt about that, also tempting but personally I don't know enough about him so I went with Mills, locked and loaded.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:11
Above guys are right. Mills is the smart choice.
I'm backing my gut choice on Ryan. I'm assuming similar feelings are why you are in this conundrum. Go with your gut mate.

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:11
Well said, agree wholeheartedly!

Lekdog · 23/03/2018 at 08:42

sorry mate. leagues are full. i'm sure we are H2h somewhere.

Finnius · 21/03/2018 at 18:23
Can I grab his spot Trig? All good if not.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 21/03/2018 at 18:27
Yeah jump in dereks spot mate

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:13
You'd take Fox over him wouldn't ya? I should probably keep quiet.

Jock has been known to go missing, not sure about the other two, not sure they'll get much mid time.

hedski · 21/03/2018 at 19:24
Just had a look thru the JR group, the JR Brumbies FC are alive and kicking.

leedy · 22/03/2018 at 12:54

Josh Bootsma!

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:15
I got pretty good odds on the 100 goal and Brownlow double Jock is paying 3-1.

Lekdog · 23/03/2018 at 08:43
I’m a forward pocket player who fakes injuries to get free kicks in AFL 9s, not a great selection sadly

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:17
Wouldn't like to be stuck with that decision. Restructure haha, and avoid the Bonza or Christo.

leedy · 21/03/2018 at 18:10
Crazy if you don't keep or have a couple of hundred grand spare if it goes wrong. Cox … why? At best he will play as a key forward given Grundy is such a good mobile ruck.

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 18:16
i had a think about it for a day. and couldn't see why i would want to do it. The chances of needing "cover" is low.
I did think about having Cameron at R2 with Cox at F6 and looping Cameron's score. However collingwood play before Swans the first 4 weeks so that wasn't an option. same with Lycett, pies play before WCE first 4 weeks as well.
the best option i could see for Cox was just have him at R2. has a good run of games, and his JS is good.
in the end, i think Lycett has more upside and is cheaper.

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 20:07
I'm thinking about it again. He's only 304k and will be almost the only target in the pies forward line he's tallish and a good mark. Throw in the deep forward hitouts and an ave of 80 is very attainable.
If I have cox at R2 instead of Stef I can have Hogan at F6 instead of a rookie

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:21
Yep flying creature in the night's faeces crazy.
Derek's advice makes a lot of sense here, and even then…..you gonna lock in Lycett?
People are setting and forgetting this year for good reasons.
I've tried to make the cheap ruck work, I want Witts for 200K again FFS you brutal SC GODS YOU!
Sorry guys for the outburst 🙂

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 19:58
I have never sat and forgot with my R2.
You can’t pick the 2 best rucks at the start of the year. No room to bring anyone in.
Would you pick 8 premium midfielders?

Bottom · 21/03/2018 at 20:05
mclean

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 18:09
another bloke in that price range is Conner Glass, can really kick a footy and he will have a few decent scores this year. mind you i wouldn't touch any of them at that price. Won't make enough cash or points

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:23
Anyone who plays port benefits the most with them short of a Pittard. In supercoach? meh.

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 18:12
My thought exactly Trigga…tough one cause it's always good to have one swing there, I put Garlett fwd and Banfield to mids and am questioning it now.

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 19:04
i don't have any of the expensive rookies, so i have a spot in the guts for him.

Clueless · 21/03/2018 at 19:17
Not even this years rising star Andy Brayshaw?

Whatyasmokin · 21/03/2018 at 19:24
I can see the reasons for it. I never took Taranto or that other fellow and never regretted it. 200K is an awkward price for a first year player.

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 19:54
Banfield is 70k cheaper and knocked out 96 @3.1 PPM in JLT1 and won a club best and fairest against men last year. Derek might have him instead

Defying_Madness · 21/03/2018 at 19:43
Not even Naughton Derek?

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 19:54
Ok. I have Naughton. Good player

Shake_n_Bake_ · 21/03/2018 at 21:04
Langdon named so there is another fwd option if you start Garlett in the guts.

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 19:52
Will Barry play round 1 Trigga? He laid a brick in JLT2

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 21/03/2018 at 18:01
Gonna kruez past him 😁

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 18:06
he isn't cheap enough. i really thought he would have been under $400k this year.

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 18:21
Not when Nanktank is only a bit more in price.

Rick Grimes · 21/03/2018 at 18:34
Yea true. Nank looks great value. He should improve his average to 95-100. Is underpriced. Trying to decide if he is a better pick than Kruzer. More durable, certainly.

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 18:37
Could be this year Rick…Never know when one of Kreuze's old injuries will resurface either.

Steeeve · 21/03/2018 at 20:56
Goldy for me. Preuss won't play

Finnius · 21/03/2018 at 18:21
Don't leave 300k no where when it could be points straight away. You get at least 30ppg with picking Coniglio – definitely worth the cash

Rick Grimes · 21/03/2018 at 18:36
Unless Cogs gets a tagging role. I feel he's a trap. Hope I'm wrong….well, actually I don't. He'll probably be a gun.

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 19:01
no-one has been in and out of my team as much as Coniglio this pre-season.
there is just so much talent in the GWS midfield i don't want to have Kelly and Coniglio.
For me, he isn't a keeper. nor will he make a truck-load of cash.

Shake_n_Bake_ · 21/03/2018 at 21:07
Definitely not a keeper but a stepping stone. Early pts generation maybe in a somewhat easy first half draw. Then to a fallen premium around the byes?

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 21:09
I'm going Kelly and Whitfield, cause Whitfield will be half back.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 21/03/2018 at 18:11
Is there an echo in here? Hehe

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 18:13
Hehe, yeah just saw and posted in yours lol, so what should we do Trig?

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 21/03/2018 at 18:18
Im considering starting fogarty and stevenson fwd so will probably go with garlett in mids to create swingers.

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 18:19
Will Fog get punted as soon as Spud Walker gets back in you reckon?

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 18:57
depends on how he plays. i can see him filling a tall defensive role as well. Maybe lever's role if doedee isn't any good

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 19:00
Cheers Derek, think I'll give him a run, just hope he doesn't become an 'only 3 gamer'

GloryDays90 · 21/03/2018 at 18:25
I'm also considering Stephenson. Instead of Bell or Christensen

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 18:55
pretty solid team there Rick.
I'm not a big fan on the expensive rookies. You have 5. lets see what they give us tomorrow.
Kruze is $603k. that is a lot of 'k's"

Rick Grimes · 21/03/2018 at 19:26
Yea I'm thinking Nank is a better pick. He's been in and out.
True about the pricey rooks. Will see what is on offer and possibly roll with one ultra $$ def with a couple of $400kers

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 19:52
I like Hibbo, but just too exp.
I’m looking like starting with Laird, Shaw and Mills

neil demons delight · 21/03/2018 at 20:06
Shaw and Laird have the round 14 bye

Rick Grimes · 21/03/2018 at 20:06
Isn't Laird more expensive than Hibbo?

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 18:40
No mate can't see him being a good pick, Hurn as well, I'd rethink those two, Maybe grab another rookie like Naughton in there instead of one of them and spend the money somewhere else or get another premo in the backs.

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 18:47
not sure hartlett was ever SC relevent.
I don't mind Hurn. I had him in my Draft team last year and he was very good. Will hold his price and have the occasional good score. WCE defense will see plenty of the ball this year. For $20k more i would prefer M'Govern ahead of Hurn.

GloryDays90 · 21/03/2018 at 18:45
Don't think Coffield will either.

Rick Grimes · 21/03/2018 at 18:44
Tant instead of Sicily. I'd hold on Rocky. Not been sighted and new club. Sounds like unecessay risk.

Steve · 21/03/2018 at 19:26
True ill look at the spots on the weekend!
I was thinking smith for tants….i feel tants will have a fab season

Oy#ter · 21/03/2018 at 19:36
Why have two rucks with the same bye?

neil demons delight · 21/03/2018 at 20:08
does it matter O

Steve · 21/03/2018 at 20:42
Was thinking the same…isnt it just best starting 18?

belly button fluff · 21/03/2018 at 19:26
I dunno mate. I'm a bombers supporter and love McGrath, but just watched a replay of the JLT game with gee and I still think he would still prefer to hang back a little. He will make himself get in there but I feel he has to force himself whereas Marchbank just shoves himself in the action naturally. Next year for McGrath or later this year. I'm not picking March either but out of those two I'd go March.

belly button fluff · 21/03/2018 at 19:26
oh Id go mills out of the four.

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 19:59

Shake_n_Bake_ · 21/03/2018 at 21:11
I have gone with Ryan 4 tons last year in his 11 games. Go to player im predicting coming out of defensive and loves to kick the thing.

Agree Shake, I'm taking the punt..locked in.

Points pig, I meant to type. Fat, excited fingers…

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 19:06
Hard to say Rick with every year being different, could be Laird, hibbo or Hurley.

Rick Grimes · 21/03/2018 at 19:24
How fit is he? Did he make an appearance in JLT? Definitely see your eeasonibg; but he's a walking injury these days.

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 19:49
Hasn’t moved. Looks good at F3

TOPHAWK1 · 21/03/2018 at 20:11
I reckon he is too old. Why not stick with younger players? More upside there IMO.

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 19:58

Hiya Trev, I'm chomping at the bit mate…can't wait!

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 20:08
I saw the Carlton team and thought it was LEK’s team reveal

Steeeve · 21/03/2018 at 19:59
Darling? And Lycett I suppose

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 20:05
Ryan's a big man when he jumps 10 feet in the air 🙂

Northerner · 21/03/2018 at 21:55
That’s the role Waterman will play and if he fails they will bring in McInnes. So stay clear of Waterman as he may not play again once JJK is back and he and Darling stay fit all year.
Patch was incorrect on the podcast when he called Waterman a small forward. He was captain of one of the teams that played the grand final morning prospective draftees match in his draft year and he played key forward.

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 22:36
I agree. at 190cm and 94kg Waterman is not a small forward. But he is a better footballer than Lycett & McInnes combined just a bit inexperienced at the moment which why the eagles will give him every opportunity even after JJK comes back in round 9. I hope

TOPHAWK1 · 21/03/2018 at 19:58
Very good side mate. Just feel you have spent a bit too much coin in your back line, especially with so many good rookies back there. Chase cash in the back line and chase points in your midfield. Just my take. Cheers

Bottom · 21/03/2018 at 22:57
Hurley -> Rookie
Barry -> Parker

KSinny · 21/03/2018 at 19:50
We'll still be able to make changes to players who aren't Carlton or Richmond.

Sc_Wow · 21/03/2018 at 19:54
Yeah those guys have no idea

Moana · 21/03/2018 at 20:06
How refreshing Robby. Being a Bomber I thought he would have Zerrett.
Thanks for going to the trouble Russty. Can you do likewise with The Phantom’s mids please.

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 21:01
Think Robbo's a Saints supporter Mo

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 21:08
Here ya go Mo…
Danger, Kelly, Fyfe,Cripps,Coniglio, Andrew Brayshaw, Brodie, T.Kelly—H.Clark, Banfield, Holman

TOPHAWK1 · 21/03/2018 at 20:07
No way Rusttyyy! That side is a dogs breakfast. Robbo will unveil (AT THE LAST MINUTE) his new look side tomorrow night. He is just playing head games with that team. If not, well, then I think he has some serious issues. LOL

I know right?…hahah has he gone bonkers or something?

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 22:43

Hehe, could be a decoy side as Tophawk said…to throw us off the trail we don't care about.

michael · 21/03/2018 at 23:30
Robbo doesn't pass the flog test

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 20:13
Don’t mind Tregrove. Only has 5 other ruckman at the dogs against him.
I’m looking at Lobb at F5

TOPHAWK1 · 21/03/2018 at 20:29
I like Trengove as he did almost all ruck work for the dogs in both JLT games and got plenty of pozzies, and kicked goals in both games.. Scored 80 and 100 odd and I reckon the dogs recruited him to do just that. Plenty of ruck work and kick a few goals to boot. If he can average 80-90 in the first half of the season then its job done as far as I am concerned. Dont touch Lobb or Lobbe Derek! Did that name not burn you beyond recognition a few seasons ago? Just kidding around. Lobb is definately an option. But at 50 K less, Trengove I can squeeze in without uprooting my team structure. Cheers mate.

hedski · 21/03/2018 at 20:33
Gday Toppa, pretty sure Jordan Roughead is primed to come back in round one, not sure if he played JLT but something to look out for.

TOPHAWK1 · 21/03/2018 at 20:41
G'day Hedski! Back for another season mate. Its gonna be another great ride. If Roughead is named tomorrow it will give me something else to ponder over a beer tomorrow nite. Thanks for the heads up!

hedski · 21/03/2018 at 20:47
No worries mate, looking fwd to taking you on again, in a couple of leagues with you, bring on the footy, good luck for the season bud.

Shake_n_Bake_ · 21/03/2018 at 21:16
Hey Hawk, im thinking Keefee Murphy or Mihocek wont be there rd 1?

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 20:10
You can always go with Higgins. He will get games

Snowball · 21/03/2018 at 22:31
Well he certainly didn’t get the first one! Derek. One could say that the vast majority of the rookies will get games.

The Chef · 21/03/2018 at 20:19
Looking good J, my only real concern is Caddy, always fires out the blocks in the preseason but never lives up to it in the regular season, tread with caution! I'm not sold on Dow either but he definitely could come good. I'm a big fan of the Merrett selection!

Defying_Madness · 21/03/2018 at 21:09
It is out now

dontblushbaby · 21/03/2018 at 22:09
Neither for me, both won't be in the Top 8 at year end , but I'd go Bont if I had a choice

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 22:28

Dermin8r · 22/03/2018 at 10:29
I dropped him and too M Crouch instead. Thanks fellas.

Northerner · 21/03/2018 at 21:47
Second option. Much lower on the flog meter

Northerner · 21/03/2018 at 21:49
Billings, Brodie, Ryan if that works

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 21:33
I like option 2 Jordan, Gotta hope Fogarty keeps his place with the ex mullett coming back, and I'm giving Bonner a go too, think he could stay there long enough to make money..and score well.

Northerner · 21/03/2018 at 21:46
Just to confuse you, I think Hutchings is actually a decent pick. IMO he’s a better option than Christensen and Bell. And Finlayson has much better job security than Fogarty. Could be a combination that’s sets you apart from the pack.
I know there’s been a lot of noise about the West Coast FWD rookies being low scorers. I believe Venables will be a very good pick this year. He’ll probably take a little longer to adjust and be a slower burn than some, but will grow into the season. They want to invest in him as an extra midfielder and he’s got some great traits. Just needs some time to get comfortable and learn how to find more of the ball. I also think we will get a 4 goal haul from Ryan and that will give him a price jump. He did some nice things in the JLT that he just didn’t finish off which if he had he would have scored OK. He also laid a cracking bump that showed he’s got a bit of grunt.
Something to consider.
Good luck.

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 22:39
Nothing wrong with cash in the bank instead of a stepping stone Jordan. Then you would be deciding which potatoe is the least spuddish

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 21:34
I'd keep it…Smith could do well this year, new team and midfield time..Bombers could go well too.

KSinny · 21/03/2018 at 21:36
Cheers mate!

WoW_Trevor · 21/03/2018 at 22:41
Yes upgrade Smith to a discounted Premo Midfielder

Gord29 · 21/03/2018 at 22:44
personally hibbered and alot of people have rayner as he will get games but i think he wont generate much cash

Derek · 21/03/2018 at 22:25
Hibbo is good, bit expensive though. Hurley not sure will repeat what he did last year especially with Godard playing in defence, might not even be top 6 imo.
Dusty is very good at football, even better than Kelly is. His big problem is r14 bye the same as many other keepers including Dangerfield. I would go Dusty but decided on TMitch because of his bye.
Petracca’s scoring well will depend on his role. I’m not convinced he will get much midfield time, maybe swing with Oliver when he ‘rests’ forward. Devon or Barlow are both genuine midfielders, I would look at them first. Even Lobb or Trengove who will both get good rucking minutes could be better bets.

JohnDJ59 · 21/03/2018 at 23:27
With Viney out for up to five weeks I think Track will get enough mid time,at the start anyway.

Nathan · 21/03/2018 at 23:32
Kane Lambert is also a genuine mid with forward status

Ja191 · 21/03/2018 at 22:07
Out of Brodie or Bradshaw. Brayshaw will score more problem is do you trust Ross Lyon

Gord29 · 21/03/2018 at 22:33
flip a coin with brayshaw and brodie

Gord29 · 21/03/2018 at 22:33
Would downgrade one of the high priced mids to Holman and maybe swap one to Brodie as they will both get games and time in the goldcoast midfield

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 22:23
Jumped off or jumped on?…he was named to play this week so hope that answers your question.

ThatsGoldJerry · 21/03/2018 at 22:30
Thanks Rusty…I don't see him named in too many sides at the moment.

Nathan · 21/03/2018 at 22:48
Add zorko to that list of mids that I'm considering.

Gord29 · 21/03/2018 at 23:22
1 wouldnt bother with the loop hole idea yet as you want your rookies playing to generate cash
2 all those 4 are people i see as being top midfielders and people i want in my team at the end. If you cant fit martin in and still have some cash left over for a corrective trade i would just pick him. if not my order goes kelly, crouch, merrett
3 i have to gone heavy in the fwds as im not confident in the rookies so i think its fine. Im also looking at lobb if he gets that number one ruck role. the only thing putting me off is no jlt games. i cant see them playing 3 talls and fwd and simpson ruck like they did mummy

leedy · 21/03/2018 at 23:08
Assuming 7 on the field … same as I. Good Luck.

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 23:10
6 here Jordan..including Bonner, who technically isn't, but kind of is.

Nathan · 21/03/2018 at 23:17
I have 8 on field

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 23:11
Titch and Billings to start, pick Dusty up when he drops below 500k.

Nathan · 21/03/2018 at 23:15
You really reckon he'll drop that low?!

Russty_ · 21/03/2018 at 23:38
He usually does Nathan…not sure if he will now that he's a Superstar Brownlow Boy.

Gord29 · 21/03/2018 at 23:23
titch and billings not sure on what dahls role will be

Maverick · 21/03/2018 at 23:46
Titch an billings. Don’t trust Dahlhaus

Maverick · 21/03/2018 at 23:53
Not real keen on Stephenson at all jimmy. Maybe look at Brodie. I think banfields JS is better Barry is trying to break into a strong port team who just recruited a lot of depth over the off-season. Also not sold on yeo he struggles when playing through the guts he showed that after his bye last season. He’s a gun off halfback though! Fingers crossed that is where they play him all season. I think there is better value for his price mate. Other than that I like your side. Good luck for 2018 jimmy

Jimmy · 22/03/2018 at 00:01
Cheers for the feedback Mav, very much appreciated. Have made the rookie moves and am also unsure on starting with Yeo, changing him for another premo defender or getting a rookie like Murphy in. Then I could upgrade Fog to Petracca in the Forwards and Brodie to Coniglio. Too many decisions before the season starts!

Gord29 · 21/03/2018 at 23:49
would go option 2 (teams havent been annouced) as lobb is yet to play and unsure if he gets the number 1 ruck role, also not sure barry will get picked

Defying_Madness · 21/03/2018 at 23:53
1 if they all play

Maverick · 22/03/2018 at 00:04
Yeah good call on availability guys. Let’s change option A to walters, Oliver & constable/Barry… which now

Gord29 · 22/03/2018 at 00:23
would personally go walters and oliver as i see them as 2 keepers

Maverick · 22/03/2018 at 00:13
yeo is a huge risk. If he is going to play midfield like he did post bye and JLT his scores will drop off and overpriced u need him to play off the HB. Personally I’d drop him down to naughton with the dogs having a decimated defence they will try pump 22 games into him and his JLT was very solid! With that cash upgrade Clarke or Stephenson to a premium mid. Laird savage and Wilson are a solid enough d1-3 with so many cows down back. Also coffield didn’t make the saints 22 only Clarke I believe mate. Just watch that closely I may be wrong.

Russty_ · 22/03/2018 at 01:21
Getting close?…you're not having a wank are ya? lol…sorry don't like the Yeo, Savage and Grundy ,Dahlhaus picks , and no Danger is dangerous! Reckon you need an extra scorer in the fwd line.
Too many expensive rookies in the mids also in my humble opinion. You've got 800 grand in rookies in the mids, without kelly and Holman….not good. Get some cheaper fellas who will play.
Sorry if I seem harsh but having all those high priced rookies in your mids is a recipe for disaster..you'll be lucky to make enough money out of the ones who do keep their job to upgrade, need some cheaper ones in there.

Russty_ · 22/03/2018 at 01:14
Get on it guys!…Open League here!

Gord29 · 22/03/2018 at 00:36
solid team maverick. I hear what you are saying about libba and cogs i currently have cogs in my team but i dont see cogs, libba or christenson being keepers were walters and oliver are

Gord29 · 22/03/2018 at 00:56
I have just put them both in my team to get kruz in the rucks for nank now hahaha

Maverick · 22/03/2018 at 01:03
I’m so tempted to run cogs & libba… gee it’s very very tempting. but u have the valid point of Walters and Oliver being keepers where as they are not but definitely have the ability to average 95+ and make some quick $$$

Gord29 · 22/03/2018 at 01:07
running them allows me to pick kruzer over nank which im liking alot seeing gawn and krezer and the rucks. for me its kruz and libba v nank and merret

Dean · 23/03/2018 at 19:27
Yeah and Kruzer scored 74 while Nank scored 95 OUCH!!!

Gord29 · 24/03/2018 at 03:52
its along season and for nank to not reach 100 with krezuer off so much doesnt spell hes a top ruckman to me

Russty_ · 22/03/2018 at 01:13
Not a Wow brother but forget Savage and pick someone good like Hibberd or Hurley, the rest of your side looks fine.

Maverick · 22/03/2018 at 01:19
All advice taken onboard thanks russty_ . Will look into it but I have only $400

Gord29 · 22/03/2018 at 00:59
Not sold on Lloyd and i personally like jacobs over martin

Sam · 22/03/2018 at 07:19
MITCHELL

Dave · 22/03/2018 at 08:01
Mitchell

ProTravo · 22/03/2018 at 08:41
Least confident with Franklin and Lloyd.

SC_Seer · 22/03/2018 at 15:46
Will be munching doughnuts with poor rookie JS in the forward line.

Moz · 22/03/2018 at 09:28
Yes get fyfe now. His price will increase

Bombersbouncing · 22/03/2018 at 09:35
For Martin??? Not having Martin and Danger would give me some targets to uptrade to….

GloryDays90 · 22/03/2018 at 10:51
Team looks pretty solid mate.

Locked and Loaded · 22/03/2018 at 09:54
Smith

ProTravo · 22/03/2018 at 12:02
I asked the same question. Apparently with McVeigh back in the side his numbers have been dropping off. Although i'm not convinced it will stay that way. McVeigh is getting on a bit and Lloyd has room to improve.

Bells · 22/03/2018 at 18:25
Was under injury cloud coming in and the McV thing – there are so many guys in that run out of defence role for Sydney now – role could chop and change….dunno. Shark move, or too risky?

FearTheBeard · 22/03/2018 at 11:43
Option 1 for me.

Jimbob · 22/03/2018 at 12:35
Yeah cant go past kruezer, and coniglio is looking very good this a great inclusion Option 1

martin · 22/03/2018 at 12:34
gotta have the savage

Ado · 22/03/2018 at 12:34
nah won't do much this year, will get 70s all year

murray · 22/03/2018 at 12:36
i will be in Dom, top 5% in last 4 years

Blueth · 22/03/2018 at 17:39
Not quite sure how to approach this one

Corso · 22/03/2018 at 16:11
Wouldn’t risk it with Nic Nat. I’m personally starting Ryder and then reassessing at his round 10 bye.

hedski · 22/03/2018 at 13:06
I will start when half our rookies aren't named this arvo.

Derek · 22/03/2018 at 13:34
Coniglio has been in and out of my team 10 times already today. I want him for his value, but he will be a trade. I keep swapping him with Kelly, the extra cash really improves the team.

Liam · 22/03/2018 at 13:40
Coniglio is just to good a value to pass up.
I’m using him as my stepping stone to Danger, he won’t make a huge amount of coin but add the cash gen with the points scored I think it’s a great pick.

Derek · 22/03/2018 at 14:14
He is the poor mans Kelly.

Harry · 22/03/2018 at 13:20
Mclean

Jeffrey · 22/03/2018 at 13:35
Trading out Rayner… Is that a good move ?

Derek · 22/03/2018 at 17:54
i really like Barlow. Will get plenty of time in guts. No Ablett. Hall missing for a few weeks. Super easy draw (even though mainly away games) for their first 9 games. You could do alot worse. less than 2% of teams

Rambo · 22/03/2018 at 18:19
Ryder and Sicily (given you have Darcy Cameron on the ruck bench for cover in Ryder's bye.

NoLanguage · 22/03/2018 at 14:59
And Christensen or Bell???

Lazza · 22/03/2018 at 15:06
At this stage we know Garlett's playing and likely to play a good amount of games…

J.Bronson · 22/03/2018 at 15:39
Giles-Langdon or Keefe?

J.Bronson · 22/03/2018 at 15:39
Luke ryan and Menegola

Tony · 22/03/2018 at 15:53
yep, those cheat sheets were the only reason i came here. adios amigos

belly button fluff · 22/03/2018 at 16:58
Cya then Tony. No loss.

Finnius · 22/03/2018 at 17:32
Yeah if you can't be bothered to do your own research and want to 'cheat' then so long.

belly button fluff · 22/03/2018 at 17:26
And weren't you told earlier not to be a dick Richard?

dontblushbaby · 22/03/2018 at 19:12
Seriously , you blokes are better off not being with us anyway, thanks to everyone who make this possible , go tiges

Lekdog · 23/03/2018 at 08:46

Russty_ · 22/03/2018 at 18:13
Hell yeah lint…bring it oooon!

Derek · 22/03/2018 at 18:20
when do the teams get shown?

hedski · 22/03/2018 at 18:24
Now

Dee · 22/03/2018 at 17:42
yes

Bells · 22/03/2018 at 19:21
Grrr – my considered plan is look down the board and pick the next highest price guy I don't have.
Welcome my team Kellysan.
No idea how I get Danger back in quick? How do you pick a guy at 700k with a possible hammy????
I can't get in Gablett, too injury prone, and surely not worth burning a trade on the upgrade in a week or two as Lek suggests?

Bells · 22/03/2018 at 19:19
Dusty

NoLanguage · 22/03/2018 at 21:34
That's not even a decision

Bells · 22/03/2018 at 19:13
Or Barlow. Dew the new SC Public Enemey?

dontblushbaby · 22/03/2018 at 19:09
I'm a tiger supporter , he will get better with age, but will make way for others unless he has a blinder tonight

belly button fluff · 22/03/2018 at 19:15
I was sooo tempted. But no.

Dean · 22/03/2018 at 22:30
Hope ya changed your mind and got rid of Ellis

Russty_ · 22/03/2018 at 23:25
I think you're the only one Darren.

belly button fluff · 22/03/2018 at 22:45
Are you wanting to get a score from one of your subs that has already played? If so just leave Danger on field and emergency the player. If you are wanting Dusty's score as VC and have Danger make Danger captain on field.
If you haven't got a sub who has played yet- make sure you choose a player that plays before any other and Danger to make as an emergency. HTH
😀

belly button fluff · 22/03/2018 at 22:48
I have just put Olonga on field as captain to get Dusty's VC score.

Lekdog · 23/03/2018 at 08:44
If you made the league you should be able to add them on your computer, right side of screen

belly button fluff · 23/03/2018 at 17:17
no

FearTheBeard · 23/03/2018 at 11:21
Need a bloke not playing to be able to put on field and make Captain and the vice captain on someone who has played wiwth good score.
Then put the person on the bench as emergency to make sure he covers the non playing person.
Make sense?

Coz311 · 23/03/2018 at 14:08
Your mids are fine. I'd keep Danger and bank on him playing next week.

Stupid Coach · 23/03/2018 at 17:15
Murphy. Keefe did not make the final cut for GWS.

Coz311 · 23/03/2018 at 17:29
