2017 Planning thread

Forward line? **** who knows

Dahlhaus will keep his mid/fwd dpp, so he'll be a very popular pick

I also think Zorko is a good chance to remain a mid/fwd

Libba is a decent shot at gaining fwd/mid

There's the SC-relevant key fowards: JJK, Gunston and GCLynch

Wingard, Heeney and Devon Smith priced at ~80 average, could be popular if they have good preseasons and if more midfield minutes are on the cards

Toby Greene anyone? I'd go there again

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!

ill do one shortly!

I need to work out how to make a team that starts strongly AND finishes strongly. Peaking at the right time this year but it's too late

 

[gutsroy]

Putting aside individual trades that didn't work out & premos who didn't fire (nothing groundbreaking here, more a note to self):

1. Don't pick players without a full preseason;
2. Start with a RUC / FWD link. Didn't do it this year and came to regret it. There should be some good options;
3. Be stricter in looking for value options (avoid bringing in players above 500-550k, look for fallen premos);
4. Stick with consistent performers in the core mids;
5. Stick more closely to Guns and Rookies strategy with starting line-up;
6. Max maybe 1 KPP up forward / down back (e.g. Lynch GCS / TMac actually finished off strongly after the very poor start);
7. Don't rely on club medicos trust your own common sense when deciding whether to trade out injured players (e.g. Dahlhaus);
8. No old bastards. Only old prick I brought in was McVeigh and he has been mediocre. You can do well if you get them right, but too risky for mine;
9. Pay no attention to thigh girth when selecting side. Especially not if those thighs are Tasmanian;
10. Select Jack Martin. Want to be there if / when he goes bang, I sure as hell have suffered through his growing pains. Completely irrational, but **** it.

In SC could be the new Daniel Rich. Always threatening to become a gun and never quite getting there

 

[localfootywatch]

Can say goodbye to Dusty Mid/Fwd. Not 100 percent I will grab him as mid only.

 

[localfootywatch]

Who is on our never again list?

Ill start us off.

Jarrad McVeigh can get ****ed. Bought him in and only tonned up once. Get ****ed campaigner.

Same for my colleagues in BF Doggies. All of the minor prelim finalists outscored our more successful counterparts - by an average of 116 points!

Amazingly, the lowest minor premiership score (2382) beat the highest finalist score (2308)

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Really hope the Bont gets DPP. Will make it much easier to start with 5 premo mids if he can go FWD.

Danger, Pendles, Fyfe, Beams, Cripps. Oh boi.

 

[Werewolf]

From my team, DPP gained (not convinced Lachie Hunter will get it) should be:

Tom Boyd to become a RUC/FWD
Caleb Daniel to become a MID/FWD
The Bont!!! to become a MID/FWD

Can add Zaine Cordy to become a DEF/FWD

Watch this,

gets his debut in last game of the year,

gets a 60-70,

so instead of being a 117k def rookie next year,

starts off at 170-180k,

doh!!

At least we're all gonna be able to start with Freeman next year... third time lucky? pls.

I'm hoping.

 

[Fyfetheknife]

Who is on our never again list?

[gutsroy]

Never say never, but won't go with these blokes next year:

Hall

 

[Hairy Lager]

Never say never, but won't go with these blokes next year:
Ward
Steven
Sidebottom
McVeigh
Hall

If Hall is 430k and he is DPP again I'm locking him in, GCS carnage will continue IMO.

 

[stevebbb]

If Hall is 430k and he is DPP again I'm locking him in, GCS carnage will continue IMO.

What makes you so sure Dahl will keep his DP?

Bont and Libba probably have more chance.

fair enough, you would know better

Bont and Libba as fwds.. YES PLEASE

 

[Boris the Contradiction]

I think I'll start with Grundy next season. He's been a revelation and his early scores this year mean that he will be priced below his worth next year.
