Just saw the ad for this Saturday's game. Apparently Carlton are trying to make it 4 in a row.
Could have sworn there was another team in that match trying the exact same bloody thing :rolleyes:
Currently price rises do not come into effect until a player has played 3 games and this gives players who did not pick a particular rookie (or premium I guess) a two week window to jump on board.
I've been thinking that maybe this should be changed so that price increases start occurring after...
I took my team name from a Futurama quote:
Leela: Fine, you be crummy Universe "A", and we'll be Universe "1".
Fry: Yeah, or the Mongooses, that's a good team name. "The Fighting Mongooses."
Have been 'Fighting Mongooses' for 4 seasons now
Finally a question that interests me! I'd say 5 defence premiums, since there are an abundance of forward rookies, and not so many defence rookies with good scoring potential AND job security.
Heppell
Hanley
Burgoyne
Duffield
I think Heppell and Hanley can definitely improve their average.
- Hird has said Heppell is in store for more midfield time and he has superb skills.
- Hanley's international rules series highlighted him as a ball magnet.
- Burgoyne will probably maintain...

Also, MagnerCumLaude FFC has changed their name - what did you change it to?
Ok guys, I also need everyone to let me know their team name once they have joined the Div 1 league.
Please join the league ASAP so I can get all the league info sorted out and forwarded onto to SJ (who is running the competition between team boards)
Since no one objected, I have set up the Div 1 league.
Ill PM the league codes shortly

I'm not particularly happy that we only have a 4 day turnaround before Anzac Day.
Collingwood do too, but they have Port the previous week meaning they will rest half their side.
We have Carlton the week before and I'll not be happy if we don't take a full side into that match - can't stand...
Salary cap only applies to your starting team. After that, any increase in value is yours to keep whether you trade a player down (to gain cash) or trade a player up (spending cash). Or you can hold on to the player and hope they go up in value even more.
Usually with rookie players their...
Re: Dangerfield?
He is probably expecting a big season which will push up his value and give him a bigger contract. If he signs now he will only get what he's currently worth, whereas by the end of the season he could be worth a hell of a lot more. I imagine Hurley is in the same boat.
I wouldn't worry too much about starting with Round 11 premiums. You'll have enough Round 11 rookies that you should be able to cover yourself during Rounds 12 & 13, because you aren't going to trade them all out.
If you keep your 8th & 9th defenders/forwards as Round 11 rookies you'll be...
I'm also hesitant on Newman due to his reduced preseason (or so I've read somewhere).
I may still pick Deledio in DreamTeam, but I'll stay away from him in SuperCoach. I like other premium backline options in Shaw, Birchall, etc.
Impromptu, what do you think of some of the other so called 'locks' for this year?
A lot of people seem to think Deledio is a lock. I would be wary if he moved into the midfield myself. He's spent years getting easy ball off half back, but if he's expected to win his own ball in the middle I...
Tough one. As has been mentioned Heppell has bulked up heaps.
Hanley is one who improved heaps in 2011. And then racked up the numbers in the International Rules series (if that's any indicator).
I expect Heppell to average mid 90s, and Hanley to average around high 80's to 90. I'm saving...
I got the feeling he had a blinder last year cos he was playing for a contract extension. I expect his average to drop by 5-10 points now he has a new one. He may still be in the top 7 defenders, but not worth picking up at this price.
