Post Your Final Teams

[Notorious_29]

Goddard, Enright, Scotland, Hodge, Shaw, Ladson, Waters (Maguire, Silvagni)

Swan, Bartel, Stanton, Trengove, Martin, Barlow (Jetta, Shuey)

Sandilands, Hille (Warnock, McNamara)

O'Keefe, Pavlich, Harvey, Giansiracusa, Franklin, Warren, Wright (Hitchcock, Gumbleton)

 

[Galacticos]

Enright, Hodge, Shaw, Ellis, Malceski, Kennelly, Hunt (Waters, Nason)

Bartel, Stanton, Ball, Mark McVeigh, Martin, Barlow ( Trengove, Shuey)

Sandilands Clark (Warnock Lobbe)

Riewoldt, Higgens, Giasiracusa, Tippett, Hall, Betts, Dangerfield (Hitchcock, Gumbleton)

Hopefully 1 of Malceski, Kennelly, Hunt and Waters become a keeper in the backline and 1 of Hall, Betts and Dangerfield in the forward line which will make 15 keepers in all. Ellis is my unique selection in the backline and hopefully he can average 85 and be my 6th back.

 

[Galacticos]

just scanned through. Still his very unique though, good on you guys for having the balls to pick him

I had the balls to pick Dalziell last year and it f*cked me up big time early. Slid to around 15k in rankings. . .
Hope it works out for you.

 

[Dunn - Well Done]

For those with Anthony a player i was considering but dont get to overconfident with him. He will get the number 1 tag for the season now. Also Dalzeill scored 115 in round 1 last year aswell and i was very happy until a few weeks later.

 

[Dunn - Well Done]

No harm in posting now.

Enright, Hodge, Shaw, Harbrow, Malceski, Kennelly, Hunt (Farmer, Silvagni)
Bartel, Goddard, Selwood, Scully, Trengove, Martin (Barlow, Jetta)
Clark, Hille (Warnock, Lobbe)
Riewoldt, O'keefe, Lockyer, Giansiracusa, Franklin, Tippett, Dangerfield (Hitchcock, Gumby)

Overall I am pretty happy - played around with Sandi as second ruck (achieved through downgrading shaw>ladson). In the end I went with Hille/Shaw and whilst that might seem like a poor decision early, I am confident of it paying dividends over the course of the year.

Very very interesting side lakey and maybe something NP might do if the trend follows through there.

Goddard as a midfield, to me thats a bad pick. Especially if your only gonna pick 3 guns. The midfielders i was considering have all chopped and all look the goods. (Stanton, Bartel, Swan, Selwood, Ablett, Anthony, Kornes, Boyd, Mitchell ect). To me you cant waste a pick on a defender when you have all these players. I wouldve loced to have picked 6 of these players had the rookies not been so good here and so shit elsewhere.

Also the tippett/lobbe DP which might be needed for the next two weeks with Hille out.

You picked Mal and Kennelly which is good. I havnt seen many teams with the big 3 (Mal, Kennelly and Ladson) in the same team.

 

[YIIIABLETTT]

Duffield, Grimes, Adcock, Hodge, Shaw, Hunt, Waters (Maguire, Nason)

Bartel, Stanton, Ball, Trengove, Martin, Barlow (Shuey, bastinac)

Sandilands, Hille (Warnock, Prato)

Riewoldt, O Keefe, Pavlich, Harvey, Giansiracusa, Higgins, Wright (Gumbleton, Hitchcock)

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Anthony as a captain? I guess you did well this round but your team would have to be very average

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Duffield, Grimes, Adcock, Hodge, Shaw, Hunt, Waters (Maguire, Nason)

Bartel, Stanton, Ball, Trengove, Martin, Barlow (Shuey, bastinac)

Sandilands, Hille (Warnock, Prato)

Riewoldt, O Keefe, Pavlich, Harvey, Giansiracusa, Higgins, Wright (Gumbleton, Hitchcock)

Awful team IMO

 

[Darkness Falls]

 

[Majestic1]

Carazzo (vc), H.Shaw, Enright, Hodge, Malceski, Ladson, Waters (Maguire, Nason)

Ablett, Bartel, Stanton, Trengove, Martin, Barlow (Bastinac, Shuey)

Sandilands, Tippett (Warnock, Macnamara)

Pavlich, Okeffe, Gianciracusa, Riewoldt, Franklin, Hall, Dangerfield (Hitchcock, Roberts)

Dont you hate it when your bench players score better than your starting players. Shuey and Bastinac 165 between them and Trengove,Martin scored 127 between them. Making for a loss of already 38 points.

 

[Jan Juc]

Carrazzo, Kelly, Hodge, Shaw, Ladson, Waters, Maguire - Farmer, Silvagni

Bartel, Boyd, Goddard, O'Keefe, Martin, Barlow - Trengove, Shuey

Sandilands, Tippett - Warnock, McNamara

Riewoldt, Harvey, Giansiracusa, Gray, Ziebell, Hall, Dangerfield - Hitchcock, Lobbe


Ample cash in the bank. Can cover zeroes thanks to DP. Somewhat happy with finished product.

 

[Galacticos]

I havnt seen many teams with the big 3 (Mal, Kennelly and Ladson) in the same team.

One good week and they become the big 3

 

[Majestic1]

Backs: Enright, Scotland, Kelly, Hodge, Kennelly, Malceski, Waters. (Silvagni, Nason)

Mids: Bartel, Stanton, Anthony, Ball, Barlow, Martin. (Bastinac, Shuey.)

Rucks: Clark, Hille. (Warnock, Lobbe)

Forwards: Riewoldt, O'Keefe, Giansiracusa, Murphy, Medhurst, Hall, Wright. (Hitchcock, Gumbleton)

Really good start so far. The forwards I picked will be the proof in the pudding, went with 3 bulldogs forwards as I see them dominating the comp this year. I think the highlight was trading in Malceski and Kennelly for Shaw and Hunt with 30 seconds on the clock.

Ill start by saying very nice side.

However there are some worries IMO. NO Maguire, Trengove. Some very important rookies i reckon.

I dont really like the picks of Scottland or Kelly. They did very well in round 1 but im unsure if they can continue that and they are quite undurable (word?) players. Scottland will struggle against stronger teams and the next 4 weeks will be his test.

L.Ball, now he has value. But his ceiling cant be too high. I think his borderline of becoming a keeper 95 avg. I think he might get close to that, but him simply doesn't get enough marks for me. Also i didnt pick him because of the fact of what hes gonna avg i suspect 90-95. To me i want all my midfielders avg 100+ at least. But thats just me.

The rucks i think will be okay but they haven't started that well for you. Clark struggled with the fact that he didn't get the number 1 ruck mantle really. From watching the games they went with Leunberger as number 1 a bit more. I think he will get back and avg quite well but Leuy was always gonna take a bit of time away from him. Unsure of the effect it would have but.

Hille well he was a risk for the obvious reason but he hes gonna miss a few through suspension i think. If Jolly,Cox ect continue to play bad he could be upgraded nicely. Its a big IF.

Now i have Hall in my side, Im questioning his scoring ability now and if he can get enough possess and tackles to compliment his goals and marks. Wright i never thought of, roos have some strong competition for spots and don't like 2nd year players. He could turn out to be a good unique and decent scorer.

To be fair, Clark was as sick as a dog before the game so a) he wasn't as effective on field and b) suffered from low TOG. He was playing as a rover for patches during the pre-season matches so i think he'll have a role even when Luen is rucking, whether it's fwd or mid. Looking forward to him making a strong come-back

Sorry mate, didnt know that or hear that. Maybe explains things a bit more.

 

[chopperduck]

Yeah, dont look into Clark's score at all. Nothing was stolen from him but his health. Even during the warm up we could tell from up in the stands he wasn't good. Spent a lot of time on the bench and looked exhausted on the field.

 

[Lakey91]

Firstly, its really hard to perceive the quality of a side this early in the season – lots of blues and hawks dominated but they were playing the 2 worst teams. A lot of hype surrounding these players, and it will be interesting to see if it can continue when they face sterner opposition – not saying they wont stand firm, just saying nothing is certain yet for a lot of players.

Very very interesting side lakey and maybe something NP might do if the trend follows through there.

Goddard as a midfield, to me thats a bad pick. Especially if your only gonna pick 3 guns. The midfielders i was considering have all chopped and all look the goods.

Also the tippett/lobbe DP which might be needed for the next two weeks with Hille out.

You picked Mal and Kennelly which is good. I havnt seen many teams with the big 3 (Mal, Kennelly and Ladson) in the same team.

DWD – Goddard in the mids is ok IMO. Gives me added depth, added scoring potential in the cover, and makes me feel confident taking a few more injury riddled/issued players (Mal, Kennelly, hunt and even hodge). I can either keep him there all year as cover, where his 105ppg is more than fair, or I can switch him with farmer, push someone like hunt to the bench, downgrade hunt to a rookie and use the cash to upgrade elsewhere (ie farmer). The only other options for me were boyd and ablett – both were fully priced, and I though if I am going to go fully priced, may as well get goddard and get the added advantage of DP.

Mal and Kennelly have been locked and loaded for ages. Ladson missed the cut by a millimetre. My final decision was Shaw/Hille v Ladson/Sandilands. Too hard to call now, but I felt like hille screamed value, and shaw offered some upside too, so thats the way it went.

In regards to Lakey91 and Thorgils teams.

Both have Goddard in the midfield with the link to the backline trough Framer (Lakey) & Ladson (Thorgils).

And Lakey if/when you swap Goddard to the backline this would push hunt to the bench making him downgradable and using this cash to upgrade Farmer to a gun midfeilder?

Am I overthinking this or is this a ploy to be able to upgrade a backline cahs cow to a midfield gun to give more points potential ?

EDIT: This also means you are choosing Hunt and Ladson respectivly over another midfeild rookie...

Say enright goes down.

Farmer subs in for enright.
Swap farmer and goddard.
Farmer into midfield now > sub to bench.
Play a midfield rookie (ie scully).

Here lies the benefit.
However, I can still choose to switch goddard back into the mids if need be (see above).

 

[Jan Juc]

I'm a big fan of DP (in a DT-sense) as can be evidenced by my side at post 186 above.

Both Goddard and ROK in the mids.

 

[Dunn - Well Done]

No harm in posting now.

Enright, Hodge, Shaw, Harbrow, Malceski, Kennelly, Hunt (Farmer, Silvagni)

Riewoldt, O'keefe, Lockyer, Giansiracusa, Franklin, Tippett, Dangerfield (Hitchcock, Gumby)

.

Im actually a massive fan of this team. Youve obviousily thought long and hard about this side. Youve gone in with the premium midfield rookies. Howver Shuey and Bastinac might end up being just as good if not better picks. But good logic.

 

[Lakey91]

Thought long and hard about Shuey and Bastinac, and their round one performances seem to point to them staying around for a bit.

That could hurt howwever I really didnt mind spending a bit more to get some depth.

 

[andrew81186]

there are a few players found consistently in peoples teams. most of these will be good, others i have doubts about whether or not they'll excell. i have not taken round 1 scores into consideration.

these are the non x-factor picks:
hunt, tippett, jack trengove, Mayne, Hille

instead:
malceski, jamar, shey, ballentyne, natinui.

come back at seasons end, and the bottom group will far outperform the above one.

I didnt even read this when i saw this guy mentioned.

 

[senrulzisback]

May as well post it up now:

Goddard, Enright, Hodge, Shaw, Suban, Kennelly, Waters (Nason, Maguire)
Bartel, Mitchell, Watson, Armitage, Martin, Trengove (Bastinac, Barlow)
Clark, Hille (Warnock, Grimley)
Riewoldt, O'Keefe, Giansiracusa, Franklin, Ziebell, Dangerfield, Ballantyne (Gumbleton, Hitchcock)

As you may notice I have absolutely disregarded the DP structure, and just made a team I thought was best. I'm really against the new DP rule, as it forces people to sacrifice points, just so that they can have extra cover accross positions.
