2018 Rate My Team (Post JLT)

[Judd_Magic]

Ok I think my team is done after about 30 attempts. LOL!

Depending on how Nank goes I may upgrade him to Ryder once he has had his bye.

Not sure whether to go Walters or Mclean and Smith or Petracca for F3 and F4.

Really happy with my team though.

Dangerless team.

DEF: much the same. Brought Savage in as I think he may step up without Montagna in team. I think DEF rookies are gold this year.
MID: no danger. Downgraded him to Brodie (yuck) to bring in more muscle in FWD line. Top 4 confident can all average 110+. Conigs is undervalued and rookies seem solid.
RUCK: risking Ryders bye; think he will challenge Gawn for #1 ruck mantle this year.
FWD: rookies are horrible in this line. JS aside, I think most will score poorly. Have loaded up here with option to swing Sicily back after upgrades.

Sidenote: 2 spots left in $100 cash league for easy money. PM for more info.

Very, very similar to my team, couple premos different here and there, structure good. I think this will be a cookie cutter side, but I like it. Cash left?

Looks good! Bell and Brayshaw are obvious risks but could pay off.

The loophole question is interesting when thinking about Cameron. Does a non DP ruck who will punch out 30s add more to the team than a non-player who gives 2 cracks at a skipper, especially without Danger. Prob only matters for the first few rounds then holes appear anyway but I certainly wouldnt feel confident playing Cameron as cover and can't see him generating enough cash to trade.

What is his actual purpose

Pruess was pretty handy last year...

So was Witts.

Cameron is neither

If he generates 100k it's 100k you won't have

 

[Plugger Mcnally]

This is my team so far. After a few years off, it is proving a hard task. I think there is some good value with mid price this year and many upgrades.

How much cash left over?

Only got Cameron because I have Ryder.

Hopefully Ryder goes bananas 110 avg first 9 rounds, putting me ahead of the pack as he is quite PODish at 8-9% (last time I checked)

Ill pick a donut I expect to play later in the year elsewhere

Did you try the auto pick for a second time?

 

[54Dogs]

lol very true.

To be fair he did have 6 hitouts in 70 minutes on the weekend and nearly laid a tackle. Turning circle of the Queen Mary. Might make 200K

Wowee! Haven't seen a side quite like it. I'm speechless.

 

[Woofing]

I’m just about sold on this now
Obviously sir Robbie an issue but think I’m going to run him from the start

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Yeah, but unless you have another player with ruck DPP, you've gotta trade him to another ruck, and then use a second trade to use that 100k gained.
A worth more than 100k imo.

Think you're the one on the right but I'm sure this is what you were going for.

 

[Keg on legs]

Pretty sure this is my round 1 team


Until i change it again 1000 more times!

 

[Hawkboy62]

This is my 6th version, (for today).

With 8 players named for the Sunday games we will all be scrambling on the Sunday for playing rookies.

234k cash to allow Joel to Danger at any time plus 45 to swap around. Defence is weak and forwards speculative. Hall usually starts the year on fire so hoping he will make up the other shortfall, and like Whitfield with the change of role. Will see much more of the action.

Much better lock it in. Although I would probably put the big C on Reid if I was you

Going for purely cash in the first 6 rounds. I've made a list of who I would like to trade in when I have the money and have kept 500k aside for glaring cash cows. I think most of my selections have a positive side, even the 500k selections. Avoiding injury once my trades are nearly gone will be the hard part.

obvious troll is obvious.

i'll give you a 2/10 cause you got a few serious responses but overall its a pretty poor effort.

For the sake of one trade haven't you considered starting either Selwood or Duncan on field plus keeping the cash difference on hand to trade up to Danger. Would give you extra points to get you in a higher division next year.

Ok. Assuming you are legit there are some flaws in your thinking.

You have a lot of midpricers who you see as having upside but if that upside doesn't eventuate then you are left with a 300k player who is scoring crap and is going to cost you around 300k to upgrade to a player on your wishlist. Given most rookies are only going to generate 150k before you move them on it's going to burn through your trades very quickly.

To achieve a team of guns i would conservatively suggest you would need to upgrade 15 of your starting 22 players. Most of us would be hoping to only have to upgrade around 10. Yes you might have 500k more in the bank than most of us but it is going to cost you 5 trades to use that cash just to catch up which you just cant afford.

Aside from that, cash in the bank as opposed to being invested into your best 22 on field is just dead money. It needs to be invested at all times.

I started with something different but for now I’m happy with settling on a team which is mostly the same as everyone else, shared disappointment and all that.
