RATE MY TEAM MEGATHREAD
It’s TIME, community, we’ve begun rolling out our Rate My Team threads across the site and now we want to see yours! It’s been a long preseason, with a lot of confusion, a lot of tribulation about the ruck line, the back line, the new rules and of course… the dreaded forward line.
So spill forth your teams in all their glory! Who have you locked in? Who are you still tearing your hair out over? Who’s your pick to take season 2019 by storm?
Hey community, 25k left over. Thoughts appreciated! I would love Macrae and he will be tough to get in later in the season, but just can't squeeze him in atm. Also not sold on Neale after his overhandballing in JLT 2
Def: Hurn, Crisp, Williams, Collins, Scrimshaw, Clark (Burgess, hore)
Mid: Cripps, Oliver, Neale, Dusty, M Crouch, Walsh, Butters, Constable (Drew, Scott, Atkins)
Ruc: Grundy, Gawn (Sweet)
Fwd: Danger, Heeney, Mundy, Moore, Setterfield, Petrucelle (Balta*, Parker
Solid team personally wouldn’t go crisp and maybe consider Dunkley instead of Mundy?
Fairly similar team to mine. I squeezed in Macrae over Oliver somehow lol
Forward line exactly the same (for now atleast) other than Mundy for Mitch Robinson
Looking for numbers in 1 of my leagues: 310708
Rookie league lol 339833
Dimma said today he’s not playing Balta with Lynch and Reiwoldt.
Same M1-5 I've gone Libba instead of Walsh. Really like the Crisp pick but I would go Kelly or Greene over Mundy personally
Yeah I was keen on Mundy early but starting to go a little cold. Kelly does look the goods but got an eye on bye structure and having 3 with the same bye on the same line is an issue for me
So long as you have 18, it doesn't matter if there are multiple on one line for the byes.
Feedback would be appreciated. $159,700 in bank.
Def: Lloyd, Williams, Smith, Scrimshaw, Clark, Duursma (Watson, Hore)
Mid: Cripps, Martin, B Crouch, Rockliff, Sheed, Liberatore, Cousins, Walsh (Butters, Constable, Drew)
Ruc: Grundy, Gawn (Clarke)
Fwd: Danger, Heeney, Kelly, Greene, Vandenberg, Setterfield (Petrucelle, Parker)
Wow you don't mind risk. prolly run out of trades in the end I reckon.
Mid needs to be changed, I love a mid pricer as much as the next guy but you can't only start 2 premos in the midfield
Too many midpricers!
About 5-6 is the max you should have, but you have 8-11, depending on what you class Walsh, Cousins and Dusty as.
Maybe downgrade Vandenberg, who is completely unproven, to Atkins, Gibbons etc. with rearrangements. Then upgrade Rocky, Sheed or Libba to a premium. Make sure you have the players who you think will do the best in their positions and not just the ones that present value.
Vanderberg is an error.
Can only take 2of4 out of Rocky, Libba, bCrouch & Sheed to limit risk exposure-grab others if a premo flunks in 1st two weeks
Consider Burgess over Watson
Not sure about Greene.. last time i had him was 2017
Join my league 339833
In my view, way to much risk in the midfield mate.
Appreciate some feedback, $6k in the bank
Def: Lloyd, Laird, Williams, Smith, Scrimshaw, Clark (Duursma, Hore)
Mid: Cripps, Oliver, Conigs, M.Crouch, B.Crouch, Cousins, Walsh, Atkins (Constable, Scott, Gibbons)
Ruck: Grundy, Gawn (Bines)
Fwd: Danger, Heany, Greene, Moore, Setterfield, Drew (Balta, Petruccelle)
I have the same fwd line. F3 is the only part of my team I’m worried about.
Switch cousins for a genuine rookie, then use the cash to get a 4th def premo
Double Crouch! Solid mate, not risking much with rookies onfield, I like it.
My only consideration is that with 6k in the kitty, you’re incredibly reliant on perfect 1 up/1 down trades
Would appreciate your feedback community.
Def: Laird, Whitfield, Williams, Smith, Scrimshaw, Clark (Duursma, Hore)
Mids: Cripps, Oliver, Fyfe, Martin, B Crouch, Walsh, Butters, Constable (Scott, Atkins, Gibbons)
Rucks: Gawn, Goldstein (Sweet)
Forwards: Dangerfield, Heeney, Kelly, Moore, Setterfield, Drew (Petruccelle, Parker)
Consider switching Walsh and Butters for cheap rookies available, then use the cash to upgrade bCouch to a genuine premo mid
Walsh and butters are guns. Wish i could clone them
What are ya thoughts fellas?
Def: Laird, Witherden, Williams, Collins, Scrimshaw, Clark (Duursma, Burgess)
Mid: Macrae, Cripps, Neale, Coniglio, M.Crouch, Libba, Walsh, Butters (Scott, Constable, Atkins)
Rucks: Gawn, Goldstein (Clark)
Fwd: Danger, Heeney, Greene, Moore, Setterfield, Drew (Balta, Parker)
Consider switching Walsh and Butters for cheap rookies Then use cash to upgrade Collins to B Smith
I wouldn't be dropping Butters in a hurry, he looks like a must-have
Not sure on Witherden at all mate, but aside from that and Tobias Greene, who I don't like but is admittedly value, I can't fault it. How much cash do you have left? Are you able to upgrade Witherden?
Making a few changes here and there everyday but currently:
Def: Sicily, Crisp, Williams, Smith, Scrimshaw, Clark. (Duursma, Hore)
Mids: Macrae, Cripps, Oliver, Coniglio, B. Crouch, Cousins, Walsh, Butters. (Constable, Scott, Gibbons)
Rucks: Grundy, Goldstein. (Bines)
Fwds: Dangerfield, Smith, Heeney, Setterfield, Drew, Balta. (Burgess, Parker)
Not sold on cousins but the rest looks solid mate 👍
Id take kelly and laird over Sicily and Smith but the rest looks good!
What about Simpson? Already got Laird
D: Laird, Witherden, Z. Williams, B. Smith, Clark, Scrimshaw + Duursma, Hore
M: Cripps, Oliver, Coniglio, M. Crouch, B. Crouch, Liberatore, Walsh, Butters + Constable, Scott, Gibbons
R: Grundy, Goldstein + Clarke
F: Dangerfield, Heeney, T. Kelly, Setterfield, Drew, Parker + Burgess, Petruccelle
$108,900 left.
Probably just an upgrade of one of the midpricers, using your extra money, but otherwise it's looking good.
Tend to agree, I reckon there's room for only one of Brad Crouch or Libba in the midfield
Liking that you’ve got a fair chunk of change left over, but I reckon it would be worth spending an extra 50-60k to upgrade one of the mid pricers
Hi community. Would love feedback on my team.
Def: Lloyd, Whitfield, Williams, Smith, Collins, Clarke.
( Durrsma, Burgesses).
Mid: Cripps, Oliver, Martin, M. Crouch, Rocky, Libba, Walsh, Butters. ( Constable, Hind, Gibbons).
Rucks: Grundy, Goldy ( Bines).
Fwds: Danger, Heeney, Greene, Moore, Setterfield, Drew. (Petrucelle, Parker).
$68,300 in the bank. Thank you.
Little too much risk exposure with Whitfield (uncertainty around role change), Greene, Rocky and Libba in same team.
Also gotta think long and hard about not starting with Gawn!
My side is as follows …. any changes would be appreciated… I have 17.5k in the bank
Laird,Whitfield, Hurn,Smith,Collins and Clark. (Hore and Watson)
Macrae,Fyfe,Kelly,Martin,M.Crouch, Walsh,Butters and Atkins. (Scott,Wicks and Gibbons)
Grundy and Goldy (Bines)
Danger,Heeney,Darling,Setterfield,
Drew,Parker. (Balta and Wilkinson
Cheers Jono
U need Gawn!
Look for cheaper rookies than Walsh and Butters to achieve this.
Duursma better option than Collins
Petruccelle better option than Balta
Bro post above you say that that team must consider starting without Gawn then the team reveal right under that you say he needs Gawn lol which one is it mate??
Lol my bad I read that wrong apologies… just hear so many contradicting pieces of advice
DARLING! YES! Someone's picked him! I really rate that forward line, which is a tough thing to achieve this year. I reckon the lack of Cripps and Oliver/Neale might hurt, would you consider downgrading Walsh to Constable to upgrade one of Fyfe or Kelly?
Sorry that isn't meant to say Kelly there it's suppossed to say Conigilio!!
Oliver over Fyfe
Coniglio over Martin
$15,900 in the kitty remaining.
B: Lloyd, Hurn, Williams, Smith, Collins, Clark (Scrimshaw, Horse)
M: Cripps, Martin, Brayshaw, Taranto, B. Crouch, Liberatore, Walsh, Butters (Constable, Drew, Atkins)
R: Grundy, Goldstein (Bines)
F: Dangerfield, Westhoff, Henney, Moore, Setterfield, Balta (Petruccelle, Parker)
U need Gawn
Too many mid pricers in midfield
Balta a no for me
DMARTIN or MCROUCH…?
-both have same bye round…
Both good. Crouch more consistent. Dusty has high and low patches. I feel Dusty more likely to be able to grab cheaper than Crouch over the season
I’ve gone Merrett, who I am rating just ahead if M Crouch and just ahead of Martin
Dusty struggled with mental health last year, explained a lot for me. Got the feeling he’s about to tear the comp a new one as per 2017.
On Consistency I would take M.Crouch
I'll tell you in three weeks 😛
I'm going Crouch at the moment but as Bossa said, Dusty's admission this week he's been struggling (which is a huge thing to admit to in the public sphere and we wish him all the best) is a big part of 2018's dip in scores
I’ve gone M.Crouch – but it’s always hard to keep out Dusty with Carlton as game one – he always seems to go big in those ones!
Heeney
Def Lloyd Laird Williams Collins Scrimshaw Clark (duursma hore)
Mids MacRae Cripps Neale jelwood Taranto Walsh butters constable (hately Scott atkins)
Rucks Grundy Gawn (sweet)
Fwds danger Heeney dahlhous setterfield drew balta (petrecelle Parker)
I reckon expensive rookies are leaving u a lil underdone down back (Collins) and up forward (Dahlhaus)
Collins isn't a rookie, and agree on Dahlhaus, better options there.
Wouldn't trust Balta would get a game for long if at all Damo.
And Walsh is an expensive rookie worth keeping Damo, maybe Butters too..maybe ditch Hately for Gibbons.
Hello everyone,
Would really appreciate help – this below is only what’s required to be sorted to complete my team:
Option 1 – Whitfield (D1) , B. Crouch (M6) & T.Green (F3) OR
Option 2 – Lloyd (D1) , Walsh (M6) & J.Dunkley (F3)
Thanks very much!!
Second. More guns and rookies which is the golden rule in this game.
2nd for sure, more potent
The one without Toby Greene in it please
Thanks very much guys!!
Aiming for a POD defence. Thoughts on the following?
Option 1
Hurn and Crisp
Option 2
Simpson and Savage
Option 3
Any of the above and Williams (not quite so POD)
Hurn and Williams by the length of the straight. Whitfield??
Hurn and Williams I'm thinking. Crisp could be sneaky, but way too much risk. At least with Williams you know he will maintain value
Option 1 will be fairly unique and is still potent. Crisp just needs a lil more consistency but I’d back him for that this year
Simpson, Laird, Crisp
Rest rookies for Defence
(Collins, Hore, Clark Scrim)
Hey Guys, going for League Win here.
$274k in bank
D: Simpson, Crisp, Mills, B.Smith, Scrimshaw, Duursma (Clark, Hire)
M: Neale, Sidebottom, Ang. Brayshaw, Taranto, B. Crouch, Liberatore, Walsh, Butters (Constable, Scott, Gibbons)
R: Hawn, Goldstein (Clarke)
F: Dangerfield, Smith, Heeney, Setterfield, Drew, Petruccelle (Balta, Parker)
Thanks in advance!
I’d change crisp & mills to Sicily & Laird
Taranto bCrouch and Libba is mid price madness
Take cheaper mid rookies and use cash to upgrade those mid-priced mids
Brave/Silly to start without Grundy
Switch Balta for another rookie
THE SIDEBUM!
I'm thinking you might need a few more guns in the midfield – I'd spend the cash and part ways with one of Libba, Brad Crouch or Taranto and turn them into a Macrae or Cripps. I know it robs the team of a bit of PODness, but I worry you'll just struggle score-wise without them. I'd rather be starting keepers in the midfield if I can
Huge amount left in the bank! I’d be concerned carrying Taranto, Crouch and Libba… maybe worth upgrading one of them now, rather than burning a trade once we get into the real stuff
Looking for feedback. Playing for overall.
Lloyd Laird Smit
Scrimshaw Clark Burgess
Macrae Cripps Oliver Neale
Dusty Walsh Constable Hind
Grundy Gawn
Danger Smith Heeney
Setterfield Drew Parker
Cheers
I'd trade Devon for Kelly or Dunkley up fwd
U can do better than Hind
Neale handballs too much for mine, maybe grab a cheaper option to enable u to get Simpson or Sicily in def
Like it Zach. You have done well to fit all this in to the salary cap. Neale is a gun. Averaged 110 last 3 years being predominantly handball friendly. He wins the contested ball so doesn’t matter if he handballs a lot imo.
My only worry would be the forward line. Not a lot of rookies this year shouting out pick me so having 3 on field might cause some headaches. Agree with Boss on Hind. Don’t start him onfield
Kelly over smith
Coniglio over Martin
Crisp over Lloyd
Simpson over Smith
Heeney over Neale
Butters over Constable or sit Constable on the bench
Not sure about Hind but you should consider Cousins or Setterfield as starters
Goldstein over Gawn (save some cash) or sacrifice Grundy for Goldstein and Gawn (pre-season not that convincing)
This is just my judgement
G'day community,
If you had to pick, would you go Macrae and Whitfield or Neale and Lloyd?
Macrae and Whitfield quite easily
all Keepers. Macrae however is the only one you would happily have the C on week in week out.
Neale will go another level, macrea is a beast. Try fit them both in
Lloyd probably a touch overpriced, and whitfeild can drop the odd 60 both could be great early upgrades
Macrae and Neale if i had to from the 4.
Heeney and Coniglio is a must for me
JR SURVIVOR GROUPS
ive set up a new division.
Div 5 Code: 142422
We still have too many in Div 1 and Div 3. Can a few people move across to Div 5
I'll have to boot a few out in a couple of days to even the divisions
remember it is a Group, not a league.
You sure that's the right code derek?
it is a GROUP code, not a league
i want to limit it to 20
Ah yes ofc, my bad
It’s a group code not a league code
Just joined D5 Derek
Me too
I’m in
Love any feedback here community…
B – Laird, Salem, Williams, Smith, Ridley, Duursma (Scrimshaw, Clark)
M – Cripps, Oliver, Neale, Dusty, M Crouch, Libba, Butters, Scott (Bewley, Atkins, Gibbons)
R – Gawn, Goldy (Sweet)
F – Danger, Heeney, Greene, McCarthy/Moore, Setterfield, Drew (Burgess, Parker)
$23k left
Sweet as rolling donut. Salem as a POD down back and Greene and McCarthy for value up front, could swap McCarthy for Moore though. Swapped Grundy for Gawn yday and still torn between Oliver and Brayshaw but can't bring myself to pick both. Is it worth saving $100k or do I just leave Clarry in there and throw away the key?
Also considering Short instead of Salem but Salem's last month last year looked really promising (104 ave).
I like the team a lot. Not convinced about Dusty
Thanks mate, I think Lynch in the F50 and the new rules will suit Martin. Time will tell!
Read today Dusty struggled with depression and anxiety last year, doing great now. Could 2017 Dusty be back when the real stuff starts? I say yes.
Maybe Boss, I'm not convinced, I've been through the same and it makes one lose confidence, motivation and ability to make decisions, I hope he's back to his best for anyone who has him but those thoughts don't just go away easily.
Stick with Salem if you like him mate, could go Dusty to Brayshaw?…wouldn't touch McCarthy with a bargepole, most of his 7 seasons have been wrecked by injuries, Moore's solid compared to him.
I reckon if you're gonna have Moore, stick Burgess up the other end.
Cheers Russty, which rookie takes Burgess' place up fwd?
Could put Burgess down back for Clark and then replace him with Petrucelle or Balta up fwd but not sure on either of them…
Petrucelle mate, Balta might not see a game.
That's the way Johnny…back the home team mate, Dees for flag this year.
Its tearing me up inside. Its Dusty V Brayshaw
Would love some feedback lads.
Def: Lloyd, Hurn, Williams, B Smith, Ridley, Clark (Duursma, Hore)
Mid: Cripps, Oliver, Coniglio, M Crouch, B Crouch, Cousins, Walsh, Butters (Constable, B Scott, Atkins)
Ruc: Gawn, Goldy (Sweet)
Fwd: Danger, Heeney, Billings, Moore, Setterfield, Drew (Parker, Petrucelle)
Unsure about Ridley v Scrimshaw. I don’t like Billings but I feel like the punt on Greene at f3 is too big. Would love to squeeze Grundy in.
BCouch, Cousins, Ridley, Walsh and Butters aren’t gun/rookie strategy and therefore not an elite team imho
No Grundy? C’mon man!
Greene is a risk but with huge upside/ceiling – he just needs to last the first 8 weeks without injury or belting someone. I’m scarred by Billing’s from last year. No, no and NO!
You could dump Lloyd for Collins and get Grundy and a decent forward other than spud Billings in a spud side.
Collins will play every week and will probably end up doing good things once he starts owning his job description.
He'll get plenty of chances at it at the mould coast 🙂
Greene said he's fine mate, and he's teaching himself to be less of a flog and not go studs up marking, I'm trusting Toby will be a good starter.
Why is Lloyd so common over Crisp and Simpson? And why is Hurn so common over Laird?
Have at it. Tear it to shreds
Def: Lloyd, Williams, Smith, Hanley, Collins, Clarke (Duursma, Burgess)
Mid: Macrae, Cripps, Fyfe, M Crouch, B Crouch, Walsh, Butters, Constable (Scott, Atkins, Gibbons)
Ruck: Grundy, Gawn (Sweet)
Fwd: Danger, Dunkley, Darling, Greene, Setterfield, Drew (Petruccelle, Parker)
yeah like it, love the PODS and the crouch duo, my only concern is Fyfe if he isn't healthy id go Oliver instead but if he is who knows
Fyfe's declared himself 100% with his elbow, he's in my side Neale out.
Collins too expensive as a rookie for mine, hore a better option
Risk exposure a bit high with Hanley, bCrouch and Greene in the one team, consider losing Hanley at least.
Not sure about the expensive mid rookies, will cheaper ones score as well? – probably
Darling may be inconsistent, look for a midcwith fwd eligibility
Collins isn't a rookie, he's played 14 games, and he's ready to go in a side that will have the ball down back plenty.
But yeah I'd get Hore in for Burgess, and get rid of Hanley, that's just asking for trouble, Maybe consider Ridley for Hanley, Foxy?
Alright, community, we only have 4 more sleeps until season proper and my team is not finished yet. I want every last brutal insult about my structure, choice of players, life choices and supercoach potential!
Lloyd, Laird, Hurn, Smith, Scrimshaw Clark (Duursma, Hore)
Macrae, Cripps, Oliver, J Selwood, Brayshaw ($0.1k off upgrading to Crouch), Walsh, Butters, Constable, (Scott, Atkins, Gibbons)
Grundy, Peirce (Clarke)
Dangerfield, Heeney, Walters, moore, Setterfield, Drew (Petrucelle, Parker)
Pros:
Very guns n rookies inspired, with 5 midpricers, 1 of which I am considering an expensive rookie (Pierce) and the other three I am expecting to go top 10 in their respective positions (Brayshaw, Smith, Walters). Moore is mo(o)re of a point generation tool that I could grab with my extra money.
Most players, Qith the exception of Laird, Grundy and Lloyd had very good JLTs
Rookies have what I believe to be the highest JS in their positions while maintaining point generation.
Cons:
Lack of ruck depth: pierce will be St Kildas #1 without doubt, but I would rather an R3 with JS. The only things I could do would be Moore to rookie, Brayshaw to B Crouch or Laird to Mills to make the extra cash, but that affects point generation.
Expensive rookies: Scrimshw, Clark, Duursma, Walsh, Butters, Clarke, Moore, Setterfield, Pierce
So what do you guys think, community?
way way too much spend in defense. go at least 1 of Laid or Lloyd to Williams and spend the extra $200k elsewhere
Hey Ty, I don't mind this, except for the Pierce part..could drop 50's, I like the Selwood pick and I reckon Brayshaw will take it to another level this year.
I'd like the overall look better if you had Lycett as. F3 instead of Walters..then you could have a cheapo r3 Bines or schlongknob
McKernan could be backup ruck over Clarke, I read somewhere.
Cheers.
Expensive rookies is a stupid mistake if u r an experienced coach, snap out of it!
Not taking Gawn borders on the imbecilic
Speechless at the Walters selection
The Brayshaw pick is somewhat redemptive
Walters a very sneaky POD for anyone looking at his PPM in the JLT and the sneaky holes in Freo's midfield. Lewis Pearce and the lack of Williams the big talking points here.
I don't like Pearce as R2, he'll fluctuate in price which will make it hard to turn him into Gawn, but if you've got a plan, you've got a plan. Why no on Williams?
Will he average 100+? I don’t think so. I do, however, think that Hurn, Laird and Lloyd all have the potential to go 100+.
Williams is unproven to put it simply and I’m not keen on taking risks (apart from pierce)
🤫
Def: hurn, Williams, b Smith, scrimshaw, duursma, Clark (burgess, hore)
Mid: MacRae, cripps, Oliver, cogs, b crouch, rocky, Walsh, butters (constable, Scott, gibbons)
Ruck: gawn, goldy, (bines)
Fwd: danger, Heeney, t kelly, billings, Setterfield, drew (petrucelle, parker)
rip in boys!
pretty good.
I want to pick Rocky as well, but then i look at his numbers, except for that one massive year that will never be repeated again, he isn't a premium anymore, he won't make you enough cash
i like BCrouch more than Rocky because he can be a premium, could be the Coniglio of last year. He is an injury risk for me, so i'm passing at that price, libba is a better price.
should i go rocky & b crouch to cousins & omeara
No, do you think O’Meara will be a genuine top 10 mid this year. 115+???
Lose the expensive rookies to enable u to get Grundy
Billing’s makes me shudder, can’t see any consistency even if he scores ok overall
bCrouch and Rocky r risky, consider switching to Atkins or another cheap rookies and get another premo in that backline
Like it and that’s with not having Grundy. I think not starting Grundy though means you won’t get him until it’s too late. Are you happy with that?
I love the Rocky pick. First time in years he has his body right. I tend to agree with Derek that he won’t have that monster year again but if he can push 105 average, I’ll be happy.
Thinking ahead, rookies are hard to find now, they could be even harder to find when we look to cull.
The Rocky, Greene, Billings, Bcrouch, BSmith, Williams, Petracca selections are worth looking at. These players might have to stay in teams very late, maybe all season because of lack of cash generation. Value like this might not present itself later in the year.
They can also generate some cash as well, and shouldn’t lose any.
They will make it very easy to jump on an Uber if there is a quick price drop in a Macrae, Fyfe, Kelly, Lloyd, Laird, Sicily etc instead of having to build a war chest
I’m seriously looking at Greene and BCrouch
The current draft:
75k remaining in the bank.
Def: Laird, Whitfield, Smith, Scrimshaw, Clark, Duursma (Burgess, Hore)
Mid: Macrae, Cripps, Neale, Coniglio, M Crouch, Liberatore, Butters, Constable (Hind, Atkins, Gibbons)
Ruck: Grundy, Gawn (Sweet)
Fwd: Dangerfield, Heeney, Greene, Moore, Setterfield, Drew (Petrucelle, Parker)
– Don't like taking uber rookies so Walsh is ruled out.
– Could potentially drop Libba to another rookie who gets named (Bewley possibly) and upgrade a defender to Z Williams.
Let me know your thoughts community!
greene and moore nah mate not a rater
Interested to hear why mate!
I beg to differ sir, i think they could both be decent picks this year, barring any un-forseen injuries.
Thanks Russty_ Appreciate the comment!
Thoughts on my team?
DEF:Laird, Williams, Smith, Scrimshaw, Clark, Duursma (Burgess, Hore)
MID: Cripps, Oliver, Crouch, Brayshaw, Crouch, Libba, Walsh, Butters (Atkins, Scott, Gibbons)
RUCK: Grundy, Gawn (Sweet)
FWD: Danger, Heeney, Mundy, Kelly, Settlefield, Drew (Petrucelle, Parker)
Not sure whether or not to downgrade Grundy to Goldstein, which would enable me to go Brayshaw to Macrae?
Goldy averaged just under 111 after round 9 last year, grundy will still average more than that but how much more and is that much more worth $150k?
I think this year Nank, Grundy could average 120 and Goldy 110, that's why I'm picking Goldy, I'm hoping for a 10 point loss for 160k
Good call russty, I'm still undecided what I'll be doing and it'll probably be a thursday arvo decision!
Thanke
would appreciate some thoughts fellas

Very solid mate, looked similar to one of my variations I was tossing up, but I’m currently locking in a lot more risky side going into round one as I’m trying something different this year
AND not taking Williams down back?…tsk tsk
Thoughts please?

Fwd: Danger, Heeney, RobGray, Setterfield, Drew, Petrecculle (Balta, Parker)
Yeah not sold on your ruck combo, your guaranteeing two trades there and no cash gen from it! Especially with Archie smith hanging around at brissy! I’d flick gray down to a Moore/Billings/Greene use the cash to grab a top ruck! Or if your sold on gray even flick heeny, I think he will be around the same price all year!
Gee I’m scared to not be starting macrae surely he will drop to 600k?
I'm scared too Sam, haha yes he will have a few games when Libba Dunkley and Hunter take all his points and he drops 60k in one week, that's the plan anyway.
Hey guys. Just food for thought, if this happens (same as Grundy) how do you plan on getting him in? It’s hard enough finding 500k sometimes to get a fallen premo. 600k is obviously harder. IMO, if you don’t start him, you will need to sacrifice a lot to try and get him in.
Build a warchest with fat cows. Don’t have to paint the fence everytime
Gonna be looking to do an upgrade from brad crouch at this point in time or libba haha whoever I can cash in when the time comes
The grand plan is Libba to Mac. Fingers crossed the cows fatten enough
That's my plan too NL, Libba to Mac with some fancy trading shenanigans.

Ditch libba or sheed or b crouch for a proven midfielder 3 gambles there
Ok I’ve dished out the criticism so rip in please people. No pulling the punches:
Def: Laird, Simpson, Sicily, Williams, Clark, Duursma (Burgess, Hore).
Mid: Cripps, Treloar, Beams, Coniglio, Brayshaw, Constable, Atkins, Scott (McHenry, Hately, Gibbons)
Rucks: Grundy, Gawn (Bines)
Fwd: Dangerfield, JKennedy, Greene, Moore, Setterfield, Drew (Petruccelle, Parker)
Don’t think JJK will play round 1
Way too much spent on expensive defenders
Wouldn't be spending the cash on Sicily with his role up in the air. Get Butters in your mids for one of McHenry or Hately and JJK is a no for me, maybe Brown or Lynch if you're after a KPP
Yep, I’ve culled Sicily and JKK
Think you need to get rid of those expensive rookies Bossarello…Clark, Duursma, Hately and Setterfield 🙂
Not sure if the other expensive rookie, McHenry starts either.
Actually, scrap that…just take whoever's named for round 1 lol
Lol u got my number! Looks like Butters and Walsh r a must. I need to see R1 teams already!! Great feedback 👍
Would love some feedback fellas, wanna know what I can do to improve this even more.

Hi Josh I like your deep fwd line, but think 4 rooks in the mids could be too many, maybe consider leaving Sicily out until you know how his role change this year affects his scoring, you could go Ridley for him saving you bulk dollerioos…or Scrimshaw and whack Collins on-field.
Could allow you to get Libba in the mids or Gawn in the rucks…or both.
Cheers mate!
So out of my mid rookies, who do you suggest I get rid of?
I've brought in Ridley and have $361k left.
Hey Josh, I'd probs turf Butters, one good hit and he's toast, he's still skinny as hell…reminds me of Bonner from last year who didn't work out after a good JLT.
Is Stack a floating donut?…maybe get rid of him…or put Drew there as a swingset fwd, and get a new fwd.
Hey Russty, do ya reckon 1 premium, 2 mid pricers 3 rookies is the best structure in defence just like this side or 2 premium 2 Midprice and 2 rookies there seems to be some good rookies in defence this season
Hey COREY yeah I like that def structure this year, I'm going Laird, Williams, Smith, Collins, Duursma, Clark – Hore, Burgess
This year, going deep in the fwds and what I think is solid in the mids, but I do have Goldy instead of Grundy.
1st option M5 B.Crouch R2 Gawn
Or
2nd option M5 M.Crouch R2 Goldy
B.Crouch and Gawn mate, take the ride! if he stays in one piece could end up outscoring his lil brother.
Cheers Russty
Here is my team, Community.
DEFENCE
Laird, Williams, Smith (Clark)
Ridley, Collins, Scrimshaw (Hore)
MIDFIELD
Macrae, Cripps, Oliver (Constable)
Neale, Coniglio, Martin (Scott)
Butters, Duursma (Atkins)
RUCK
Grundy, Smith (Clarke)
FORWARD
Dangerfield, Heeney, Kelly (Burgess)
Moore, Setterfield, Drew (Parker)
My remaining salary sits at $7,800.
Taking a big risk with Archie Smith as R2, if he's not named round one then I'll have to reshuffle a premium to a rookie and slot in a Goldstein or a Gawn. Unsure at this stage, would love Smith to play.
If you think you can do it better than me, come challenge me in my league: 573548
Keen to see @Lekdog there!
Yeah, the Archie Smith thing is a mighty big gamble for sure!
Nice looking team when you've got that flight of fancy all sorted though.
Shouldn't be too hard to do if Smith doesn't work out Matty…you could afford to go down to someone like Libba or Walsh in the mids..unless you're determined to run 6 premos.
Vardy could be another option, played well in the GF last year..not sure if Clarke will get a game.
Drew could be in the mids with Petrucelle in the fwds maybe?
Agree with Russty Matt. If the Smith thing fails, shouldbe able to correct it easily. But that midfield is the bomb mate
Haven't changed it much lately, so I must be getting close …

Hello all.
My team had a big shuffle after the JLT and now I’ve put quite a few back in.
Also the rookies will be finislided when teams announced.
Whitfield, Hurn, B Smith, Ridley, Clark, Wilkie ( Duursma, Hore)
Cripps, Oliver, Coniglio, seleood, B Crouch, libba, butters, Constable (Drew, Scott, Gibbons)
Gawn, Goldy (Fort)
Danger, Heeney, Darling, Billings, setterfield, Burgess (Petruccelle Balta)
I've toyed with the idea of Hurn, the kick-in rules are in his favour, but for a bloke that's been in the league 13 years and has never been a SC performer, I just think he's a gamble.
I don't mind the Selwood idea though – a consistent performer, but just not sure he'll be a top 10 mid come season's end. M Couch or Brayshaw might though?
Probably look to save $15k by putting in a zero rookie in Fort's place – I liked the idea of him too, but it turns out that (unfortunately) he's just not that good at footy and probably won't play.

M5 has been a rotating door between Ross/O’Meara/Brayshaw/Steele
D1 has been a toss up between Hurn & Whitfield
Also toying with the idea of Cousins over Walsh
You mis-spelled the Title Patch, not that there's anything wrong with that ….hehe
Who’s the better F3?
Dunkley, Mundy, Walters, Darling, Lycett
Tim Kelly is also an option but don’t like having 3 from the same bye
Ive gone Dunkley from that lot if that helps.
You aren’t worried about the amount of mid/fwds the doggies have?
not Really. Same happened last year. McLean seems to be the one that loses out with Libba returning.
Hold Hurn and keeping Fowardline Danger, Heeney, T.Kelly leaving 16K in the bank
Or
Downgrade Hurn to Collins (D4) upgrading Balta to Greene (F4) leaving 109K in the bank

I knew I couldn’t leave my team alone.
It looks pretty safe, so I thought I would risk it up if Greene is named Round 1.
Mundy > Greene F4
Moore > BCrouch M6
Clarke > Wilkie
I can see injury risk, but I also see points

Only do this if Greene got through GWS trial game ok and is named R1
To be honest Derek, I liked your other team better.
Having to put Burgess Hore or Wilkie onfield will claw back some if not all the points you gained by having Crouch on it I really think they will be 10-20 points less than Clark. They are also three slow burning cash generators.
You have lost both your swing sets
Drew at F6 worries me. I seem to be of a different opinion to the rest of the community here, because I think that he will be the one to go in Round 2 when Wines is back. If I am right, what’s the play? You either need to bring in another forward rookie (Maybe Dylan Moore or Balta play, but they definitely look vulnerable after a round). Or you bring Burgess down. Then you have a real slow burn rookie at D6 and F6.
You have also ended up with a risky F3 against a solid F3. 503k is a lot for a homesick second year player.
If you do go down this line, have you thought about Mills instead of B Crouch?
In my humble opinion, your other side was better. If you do want to bring in Greene over Kelly, perhaps use the money to upgrade Merrett.
yeah, i had another look this morning, don't like it, prefer 4 deep premiums in forwards. i actually like Libba at M6, had him there most of the preseason
Derek who are your 4 deep premium forwards?
Greene has a tough first 4 rds. Ess Eagles away Tigers and Cats away.

I think its pretty set, not convinced on the Libba/B Crouch/Sheed/Rockcliff in the guts so. Think I can get more value out of a rookie. Gone with the big guns except Lloyd, can always trade down from there if something goes wrong. Plenty of value in defence to start a bit light I think.
Any thoughts or tips on the above?

Any suggestions would be great.
Hey Rusty!
For defence, get Duursma and Collins in as they'll be playing. Quaynor needs time in the VFL and Rozee is 50/50 to play. Savage is a risky pick and it may be better to invest in Brodie Smith as he is cheaper and a proven scorer
For mid, downgrade McGrath to Libba and swap Davies-Uniacke to Bailey Scott
For the ruck, I highly recommend having at least one of Brodie Grundy or Max Gawn, it'll be too hard to get them later in the year
For forwards, drop Vandenberg down to Darcy Moore or a cheap rookie (e.g. Balta) and use some cash to get Isaac Heeney in
Just my opinion personally but there are some nice POD selections in your team. Good luck!
I think you should hit clear team and start again buddy
Thanks guys
Hey guys! First time poster on this blog, it's been great reading all the content here, you guys are great. I'd like some feedback on my team! This is my first year playing SuperCoach so probably a bit of an odd side, but would appreciate any advice.

Thanks again!
Just personal thoughts
For defence, downgrade Mills and McGrath to Collins and Scrimshaw, swap Watson to Hore. Defence is the best line for rookies and midpricers so it'll save you coin for everywhere else
For midfield, you'll need some genuine 110+ every week guns. Get Brayshaw and Rockliff up to Cripps/Fyfe/Oliver. Sheeds a nice POD pick. Move Drew forward for Cavarra (injured) and replace Drews mid spot with Atkins or Bailey Scott.
For rucks, you need one of Grundy or Gawn. Move on Martin as Archie Smith may drop his scoring input.
For forward, get Dangerfield in as he's a must have. Swap Vandenberg for Toby Greene (more reliable) or Darcy Moore (lower price, high potential). Balta is risky being in a top tier side, Parker from St Kilda is a safe rookie option
Good luck with the Season!

Was considering swapping out D. Smith or I. Heeney for J. Dunkley. Thoughts?
Solid side! I do recommend getting Xavier Duursma in though. Get rid of Cavarra (injured) and shift Burgess down forward so you can put Duursma in defence
Maybe swap Whitfield or Witherden to Brodie Smith and use the spare cash to upgrade Goldy to Gawn (need at least one of Grundy or Gawn)
Also look at removing smith and brining in someone cheaper like Biklings, Darling, Boak.
Team looks solid but upgrade Martin and think there’s better premo’s than Witherden and Smith will just let you down IMO. Good structure though.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Obviously rookies may change depending who gets a start etc.
Good side! All I'd recommend is trade out Darling, move Setterfield forward and bring in another good midfielder
In light of Al Clarkson's comments regarding Scrimshaw and he's lack of match fitness. I'd be very nervous if I had him at D4 like so many teams I've seen here
I am very interested in that comment! Where did you see that?
Same. Averaged 81% TOG in the 2 JLT games..

No gawn, interesting
Hey GD, I'd swap Grundy for Gawn, get rid of Hately for Atkins and Treloar should be ok, he's a gun.
You should have 4 keepers in the mids.
Reckon you could strengthen your fwd line though with another premo or at least a midpricer.
Why would you go Gawn over Grundy? Not sure I can bring myself to play a MID Price player FWD… Moore and Greene just have a huge ? About how they will go…
I just think he'll do better this year, But they're really 50-50 for who's better.
Moore has more of a ? rather then Greene, who can average 90+ , I'd rather gamble on him than Drew or Petrucelle keeping their jobs or scoring ok.
I would have to drop Steele from my midfield probably down to Libba to get Greene in?
Could consider Brayshaw or B.Crouch?…I think Lloyd's your real money sucker in your backline, he doesn't need to be there yet.
Could Keep Steele and upgrade the fwd line…if you like, even your rucks.
Nah there is no way of having Greene and Steele in the team. I would have to go 4 MID premos and a MID Price player like Libba to have Greene
Not if you went Lloyd to Ridley or Collins, they'll probably both hold their own. That's what I said before, Lloyd isn't necessary yet, your backline's good enough without him.

Midfield's weak, but not enough rookie options forward.
Thoughts?
You can free up plenty of cash in defence. Swap Hurn, move Duursma to defence and bring in another premo mid.
For forwards, Toby Greene is a high risk, potential high reward option so you could free even more cash by downgrading Menegola.
Use the spare midfield slot to get a Fyfe
