2018 Rate My Team (Post JLT)

[captain cotch 9]

It will be interesting to see how long Rioli is out for at the start of the year.
That will open a spot for Higgins or Bolton IMO.

Hoping for Higgins to F4
I'll take that 154 average

Are my rookies solid enough?

 

[Sir Hugh Percy]

Think big Pedersen has quite a bit to offer,should play as 3rd tall forward and spend about 25/30% in ruck also,Gawns body doesnt inspire confidence..

We all love him, but I reckon Pedersen will struggle to get games tbh, unless Gawn (or another tall) is injured. Primary tall forwards will be Hogan and McDonald and they'll want to get games into Weideman as the 3rd tall. Pedersen becomes 'break glass in case of emergency', which is essentially what he did (very well) last year as well.

First year starting without Ablett or Pendles. Feels wrong.

I have both ATM

Time for the new brigade. Didnt have Ablett but Pendles let me down in the 2nd half of the year

I really like your backline and midfield but i cant say i rate your forwardline much. At one stage or another ive had every back that you have in my team so even though i have a fairly different combination at this time i can appreciate what you're going for. Your midfield is great too with the 'big 3' and then guns with room to improve in Fyfe, Cripps & Cogs. Rucks are standard, just monitor Nicnat as im sure you will. Your forwardline could come off but i think you may be missing a trick with no Setterfield and Higgins as rookies and no real premiums. That said, for a mid-priced team i quite like it

mid price MADNESS

 

[NinjaSwan]

First attempt, got $176k in the bank still so could do Petracca to a guaranteed premo or upgrade a rookie to Christensen.

Will be keeping track of players around that price of Setterfield and Higgins although job security is always a question. I agree the forward line is weak however I have confidence they will all rise in price a fair bit with security, forwards tend to have down weeks where the premiums become a lot cheaper than premium mids and backs. Outside of Heeney and Greene the forward premiums I am not sold on maintaining their output

It

Just make sure you trade aggressively in in the first 3-4 rounds, to dump your dud midpricers for ones you haven’t selected that are looking the goods.

Thanks Steve. Remembering your start to the season last year, i will be putting all of these on my avoid list!

 

[stevebbb]

I love him, but he also annoys me. I'll end up with a Pies player no doubt, it'll most probably be Pendles or Treloar

hahaha good call. Smart move

[CrozaN]

Anyone eyeing off Crozier? Gonna b playing half back taken over Boyd's role.....could rack it up for us down there. Can see him improving on his average quite abit.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Shouldn't have to make a defensive trade all year,just an idea.View attachment 454738

I'd be dropping Harry McKay. He looks to have bulked up and most Blues supporters will be hoping he plays at least 10 games, but I doubt he's going to be much of a points earner and at $200k+, there's gotta be better options.

On a more general note, I'm having trouble getting the player list to show on the right-hand side on PC. It just won't populate, which means I can't make any selections. Anyone else have this problem? Could it be my https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/account/upgrades or something? Haven't tried turning it off yet. On my mobile I can get the list of players, but can't select any. Is it officially open to select teams yet? If not, how are you guys putting your teams together?
I'm feeling like a n00b

EDIT: If I hit auto-fill, it fills my team (very poorly obviously).

 

[Mighty_sainter]

Coniglio a lock for me, full pre season will absolutely dominate. Underpriced

Yeah wont get tagged either with Kelly in the side + Ward etc

I had this issue too and like you i was able to auto-fill. I changed browser from Safari to Google Chrome and it worked instantly.

No Danger could be dangerous. He's usually outta the blocks hard early in the year.
