Darcy Fogarty and Bytel are my only PODs.
I am also wondering about the POD non-picks.
Which popular player haven't you picked?
Mine is Taranto. I ended up taking Tom Green over him.
I actually put the starters into a spreadsheet and compared their expected scores against their break evens. Plenty of +15 prospects but considering you can get +30 from a good rookie it probably doesn't beat premium/rookie field.
Pedlar has improved but not enough IMO. Kicked a couple of goals and was on the A team.
Milera was very, very rusty. Missed a two meter handball by a meter.
Full Adelaide intra is on YouTube.
- Rankine and Rachele were often used as the 3rd midfielder at centre bounces
- Sam Berry very, very good
- Himmelberg played some key defence
I feel Laird is super safe because he is one of the few midfielders who would be fine if the team expanded the rotation and gave the inside mids 75% game time.
He is at 78% TOG last year, while every other super premium is at over 85%.
I think the interesting challenge of a midpricer team is how much injury risk to take on.
Some of the greatest rises can come players who returned to fitness, but have too many of them and your team will suffer from half scores, forced trades, impossible bye scenarios etc.
Question about the Dunkley popularity, is he going to get better scoring opportunities than he did last year?
Like the Bulldogs, the Lions are pretty loaded through the midfield.
Players from Geelong, Sydney and Collingwood who averaged 25 or more disposals:
Nick Daicos
If teams copy their rotations, it could impact the scoring of premium mids.
Looking at the mid pricer cash cows of last season.
The following made 200k+
Keidean Coleman
Charlie Curnow - bounce back from injury
Jai Newcombe
Sam Berry
Ed Richards
Will Brodie - new club
Stephen Coniglio - bounce back
Mackenzie is a great choice because of the midfield opportunities. Might get CBAs, which would lead to nice scores.
Ginbey and Phillipou are nice as DPP.
Hollands and Sheldrick might struggle to consistently crack the 22.
They would be favourites in 3 of the 4.
Even so, the statistics are still strong in games which were close losses. My assumptions are not just win or bust.
I am more likely to stick with Wright because he has had a cleaner preseason than Stringer even if he isn't as strong of a frontrunner...
Maybe Tomorrow after looking at the games last year, maybe I should put Stringer in as the cash cow. He performed 49% better in wins than losses, Wright only performed 36% better.
Generational front running.
