asiansensation · Feb 5, 2012

Just a little guide I made that includes tips on who to pick and who not to pick from each team.

Enjoy.

Download it here.

Thanks for your efforts asiansensation. Nice little summary. Have added a few rookies to my watchlist now :thumbsu:

krakouer from the suns has 'retired', even though he's technically still on our list. won't play a game, and yet you say "can't see him getting past 60 points". is this just out of date?

besides that it's pretty good.

Are Carrazzo and Hale such bad options?

Yeah. I think so. There are better options than those two players.

*claps*

Magnificent work V-dog. Just had proper read through, are you gonna upgrade it after the NAB Cup? If you need any help, just give us a yell.

Thanks for putting this together, some handy info there.
Do have to disagree with your Didak synopsis though. Everything I've read so far points towards him bouncing back from the nightmare that was 2011. He had no pre season last year after pectorial surgery & also had a calf injury last season. He has done all of the pre season work including the trip to Arizona, is only 28 and averaged 105 & 104 in 2009/2010. He'll be back IMO.

To be honest, I hope you're right. Good downgrade trade if that's the case.

Nicely done OP :thumbsu:

Toll · Feb 6, 2012

Thank you,

Appreciate the effort

goldfinger · Feb 6, 2012

Hmmmmm - not trying to blame anyone, but my Avast throws a trojan message whenever I try and download this.... could be a false positive.... just sayin.

Edit: Now it's gone - my avast must've just had a brain fart.

The Prosecutor · Feb 6, 2012

Good job, however I have to disagree with your view on Bellchambers.

Hille has already that he is willingly to move over if Bellchambers is deemed worthy to be best 22, and not forgetting the fact that Hird on multiple occasions went in with 3 ruck-men, so I hardly see why he would only name one if he had Bellchambers as a second ruck available.

The Prosecutor · Feb 6, 2012

Just as I say that this quote from Hird came out today...

http://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/a/Hird:-Hille-standout-during-pre-season/8829

Essendon experimented with playing Hille, Ryder and Bellchambers in the same team last year to varying success, but Hird said they entered 2012 with clear plans how to best utilise the three big men.

"We've got a very solid idea. We'd like to play them all, and there'll be games when they all do play and others when they won't," Hird said.

"I'm very keen to have all of them up and going because they're three quality players."

Hahaha. s**t happens, mate.
Well, you never know. Bellchambers might be a surprise but I just don't see it this season. And even if he does get a game, I doubt it'll be a consistent stretch of games. And thus, not good enough for a Supercoach spot.

Yeah I agree, 2013 though I will most likely definitely have him.

I'll be sure to put him in next year's Supercoach guide.

Yeah no good for Didak! Better take him out of my team

EVERY game they should ALL be played. The problem is the implementation has been bad.
Ryder must play at CHB (where he is amazing and can beat anyone), Bellchambers as first ruck and Hille at FF. Bellchambers and Hille can rotate with a resting-ruck setup. Ryder can ruck the backline to reduce workload.

An alternative setup is keeping Hille & Bellchambers as above, and putting Ryder on the ball. Now that would just be scary for opposition teams...

In regards to this, reports coming in that Didak has sustained a 4 week injury.
