Daw actually scored very well in the 2 Nab games, whether he can sustain it for longer than shortened versions games leaves alot to be desired compared to Currie.
Yep, personally I think it's whether you want a safer option or a higher risk-reward ratio option. That wasn't the point of my post anyway, I was just pointing out the unique grammatical and spelling mistakes in Fitzey's posts. :)

It could be said Fitzey leaves a lot to be desired

Bellchambers is cheap, And should have a breakout year being the Number 1 ruck. And I'm going with the extra premo tO have a good start.
LOL I personally reckon you're going with two... 4 premiums is about right, but 6 is overkill. All of their inflated prices are going to go down, and with 2 trades a week, there is really no punishment for going with value instead of guns early on...

Also, Franklin? That forward line is super weak

You should look through the Thread you will see alot of teams with about the same setup.

You're going to get a LOT of differing opinions here, only because our midfield is so hard to crack. You'd think, "Oh yeah the 'Dogs aren't very good, a mature solid body would help them a lot." But the problem comes to you when you try to write a best 22 for us - in the midfield, you'd play all of Boyd, Griffen, Cooney (injury permitting), Wallis, Libba, Picken, Cross, Dahlhaus and Higgins ahead of him, and then you have players like Hrovat, Stringer, Macrae, Hunter, Prudden, Smith, Stevens, Howard, Tutt, Wood etc pushing for selection there as well.

I hate the idea of playing Lower at half back since I think he's been mismanaged at both Port and Freo by being played there. Just depends how we see him, and how much of a risk you're willing to take.

I'd stay well away from him, but there will be people who completely disagree.
Thanks, that made a lot of sense. I hadn't really considered the rest of the team. :thumbsu:

I have just looked thought the Thread I can comfortably tell you that 4/5 is most common with 6 being a rarity. I was just telling you that premiums fall in price drastically at the start of the season, and with the new noob friendly trading, it's unwise to start with 6 premium mids, and compromise other areas of the ground in doing so.

But hey go ahead if you want to come last, I don't give a flying ****.

Ease up boys, this entire board has degenerated into childish bitching lately. No need to resort to insults. Take a chill pill and offer your suggestions, that's what this thread is for.
Well said.

Also, people offering advice in here need to stop trying to tell people how to have their team. Offer opinions and knowledge and even recommend what they should do but too often is there posts just saying "too many *****, move **** and get rid of ****" without any explanation or allowances for people to try different structures.

On this, to me its a new balancing act this year. With so many trades available all teams will be identical earlier in the season than the past. Therefore its super important to get off to a flying start!! Maybe foregoing rookie value increases in search of early points is a better way to go. Just saying.....

Here's my first crack. 6 premium mids but happy with the overall balance.

Backs: Goddard, Gibbs, Grimes, Laidler, Pittard, Goodes, Terlich, Docherty
Mids: Swan, Ablett, Cotchin, Pendlebury, Murphy, Barlow, Toumpas, Wines, Viney, K Mitchell
Rucks: Bellchambers, lueuenberger, Rowe, Currie
Forwards: Rockliff, Wright, Cloke, Kennedy, Macaffer, Lamb, Neade, Atkins

Rookies still to be determined following further NAB Cup action. Would welcome some advice.

Cheers

Team value looks basically redundant to me this year, with the amount of trades we have, upgrading to a full 22 should be easy enough. Way I see it, it will be all about jumping on the points at the right times when they're on offer...starting with the best scoring prems from the start (i.e. the mids) seems the way to go for me.

I quite like it...thinking of going with Bellchambers too. Barlow a nice POD. Reasons behind Laidler? (not saying I disagree, just not really considered myself.

However, as a 2012 Travis Cloke owner (for the whole year, hows that for loyalty/stupidity???) ...I will never ever endorse a team with him in it ;)

You know a mid premium doesnt get extra points for being a mid, they score the same as a forward of comparitive price....

I just think looking at it as "mids score higher" is a simplistic view of the game.

Hi all,

I've been reading through this thread, and made a few changes to my lineup so far.
Might make a few more changes after the Pre-Season. How's it looking now?

There are more higher scoring midfielders than there are in any other area of the ground, but you are correct. The pricing is based upon output, not upon where they play. The value comes from selecting people that have the potential to improve upon last years scores and getting in early. Everyone has the same dollar value to spend, it's all about rookies/upgrades and identifying potential....
