2017 Planning thread

[TheOz]

Hibberd is such a smooth mover, I've missed this galloping steed, ball in hand, adipose tissue jiggling.

 

[BC__]

Gawn - Improving team who should again win more than the previous year. Another Pre season which he hasn't had many of in recent years... He'll be flying again next year.

Goldy - A dodgy knee and still a 110av. If the knee's all good expect that to go 115 minimum.

Stef - Lock for fwd line if dpp.

 

[stevebbb]

Actually heavily leaning towards a GawnNat combo...

Oh yeah, I forgot about NicNat

added to the list above

 

[Super Hans]

Speaking of DPP, I reckon Libba will be a forward.

 

[rocker_oz33]

If Libba gets DPP he's a lock wally Wallis still out for the start of next season?

Yeah I think Wallis will most of next year, if not all. Dale Morris missed all of 2012 after his leg break late in 2011

Unlucky for Wally,and the western puppies.

Yep, a year to blow out the cobwebs. Hopefully a big pre season and with bonts probably first tagged he should have a big season. Dpp and he'll be one of the most owned i'd say

 

[stevebbb]

Well they're gonna take away our fwd Dusty, Zerrett and Zorko, so they better give us something

How much time has Robbie spend forward this season? Any chance he gets his fwd/mid dpp back?

 

[Super Hans]

He hasn't been too bad this season, average 96 if you take out the games he went off injured.

Would be the #1 forward next year I'd say.

I've already said enough.But could a change of landscape in the forward line with no dusty Zorko and zerrert.
Will make things interesting.

Dare say they'll give us a Premium Ruck/Fwd most likely Stef, Key Fwds may finally be needed to fill fwd lines instead of the usuall 4+ token mid/fwds.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Actual shit trucks like JJK, Buddy, Tex, even Hawkins I don't wanna play anymore

 

[Seymour Skinner]

SP Murphy should be pretty cheap.

Surely Stef didn't play fwd enough to warrant DPP this year.

Having a combo of Gawn/Goldy/NN with Stef fwd would ridiculous.

Anyone think they'll actually price blokes like Fyfe and Beams at what they should be or will they be given the Gaz treatment and only get a dinky little discount?

 

[toxic]

I want a 15% increase in rookie prices across the board

Would prefer 15% across the board tbh, add a R4 back

More different teams makes it sooo much better

It's the high number of trades that has lead to everyone having the same teams imo. Too easy to sideways underperforming premos now.

Spot on, if the rookies go up it doesn't matter, we're still all gonna be pigeonholed into picking the same rookies, they'll just cost more so we'll start with one less premo.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Starting salary 100k

Trades 100k

Would be interesting.

 

[stevebbb]

Lids priced at a 95 average, assuming he has a full preseason with no issues, will be very popular up forward

 

[KenTucker]

No speculative mid price picks. This killed me this year with Lonners, Sherro, Ah Chee, Crouch (come good now ).
Guns n Rookies with maybe one spec pick.
Luck with injuries plays a major part, not much we can do about that tho.
Let cows moo a bit longer.
Start a R/F rookie. Although this hasn't hurt me this year too bad. (Goldy, Gawn)
Pick players who have a full pre season.
Rocky has been in and out of my team multiple times for the past 3 years but he's my fav player with Lynch GC so they will both get a gig.
Don't be afraid to jump on players who start well, ie Docherty, Merrett.
Go for value in defence.
Danger perma VC.

Too easy.

Lids priced at a 95 average, assuming he has a full preseason with no issues, will be very popular up forward on people's bench, out with multiple calf injuries, with his own thread titled why didn't I listen to Here2tellyouwhy when he said he put that giant injury on his never again list, FMSCL Deledio can GAGF waaaaaaa I want my mummy, no not you Mumford you injury prone ********, ohhh shit I have him too now I'm really sad

FTFY
That thread will be a great read

 

[clogwearer]

Yeah not starting with, or getting Deledio at any stage through the season was one of my best unintentional strategies this year. I'm very tempted to repeat it next year.
