2017 Planning thread

Earlier in the year Pete Jank (From VirtualSports) in a reply tweet indicated that they would all be priced at their average from the 2015 season with either no discount or a very small discount.

As it should be imo, don't think we should be able to pick them up on the cheap because they have just served doping bans, seems a bit flawed to me

Was Crowley discounted this year after serving a 1 year drug suspension?
If so how much % on his 2014 season?
that should be the baseline.

Anyone actually taking notice of whether or not Crowley got a discount on his SC price cannot be taken seriously.

Based on around 5400 per point to start the season, the 53.7 average would be close to 290000. So he was priced at around 70% of that this season. Can't see players like Heppell having such a discount. Would be priced at around 400k based on that.

Anyone thinking VS or CD have any kind of consistency cannot be taken seriously.

What's the go with Beams?

If he gets fit, 79 average + significant discount would make him an absolute no brainer

 

[Broar]

If Nic Nat has done his ACL you can cross him off the list.

 

[Jiska]

B: Laird, Shaw, Doc, rookies x 5
M: Danger, Fyfe, Hanners, Beams, Bont, Cripps, rookies x 4
R: Gawn, NN, rookie
F: T. Lynch (GC), Dusty, Heeney, Zorko, rookies x 4

Noooooooo. Really? Why?

Because God works in mysterious ways.

Callan Ward, welcome to my Never-again List you spud

 

[Hairy Lager]

Callan Ward, welcome to my Never-again List you spud

He was more relevant 1/2 years ago when he was one of the best mids in the team, too many points to go around to their other gun mids now.

Zerrett as a mid only will tempt me

The kid is an absolute jet and I think having some help around him will help him

Just been eliminated from my cash league. Time to join this thread!

Richmond Tigers write up:

DPP Changes:
Dusty - Mid only (lose F)
McIntosh - D/M (gain D)
Markov - D (lose F)
Short - D (lose M/F)
C. Ellis - D/M (lose F)

SC Relevance:
-Dustin Martin (110.50 average):
Despite losing F eligibility, Dusty would still be a very good pick. Currently 7th overall for total points (going into the final round), I can't see his average of 110 dropping. Add to the fact he is very durable (he has never missed more than 2 games in a season). Dustys confidence continues to grow and with Prestia injected into the 2017 team, expect Dusty to rise alongside Richmond. YES for me.

-Cotchin (102 avg)
Cotchin will most likely start at a bargain price for what he is capable of in 2017. With Prestia injected into the mid and the likes of Vlaustuin and C. Ellis getting more midfield time, the pressure may be taken off Cotchin, and he may become more consistent. Will Cotchin rise to his 2012 form where he averaged 116? Probably not. NO for me.

Rance (100 avg)
My man crush. Can't see his average deviating too far from 100 next year. I usually pick Rance up when he drops 50k from his starting price. YES for me.

Vlastuin (76 avg)
Big fan of this kid. Could very well be a bargain buy with D/M eligibility. Expect this kid to get more midfield time in 2017. Richmond fans have been asking for it all year. YES for me.

Deledio (95 avg)
Buyer beware: too injury prone. NO for me.

Yarran
If he is cheap enough (note: <350k), he could provide value. NO for me

ROOKIES:
Only player that MIGHT get game time next year currently on our list is Ivan Soldo (R). Could provide okay R cover


(Would like to see folks do something similar for their club.)
Cheers!

My planning involves not being tempted by Jack Steven, despite the odd 150+ game. And Callan Ward. When I look back on what cost me games, these two figure prominently.

 

[Gigantic]

So far my definitely ins:

DEF: Rance
MID: Bont, Cogs, Treloar, Danger
FWD:
RUC: Gawn

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

I'm gonna start my planning for 2017 now.

 

[enobrien]

Rance, Dusty, Gawn, Bont, Danger, Doc all locks

Forward line? **** who knows

 

[The Lemon]

Cripps, Treloar, Bont all locked in. Parker too

Absolute pigs. so greedy
