2018 Rate My Team (Post JLT)

I am going with Nank at the moment. Was going to go with Kreuzer but with the lack of viable ruck backup, he's too much of an injury risk for mine. Nank fits the bill in terms of hitting his peak. Big men take longer to develop. Nank is 23yo now. Perfect age to fulfil his potential. The fact that he had 21 disposals against North would indicate a significant improvement in his endurance levels. Having said that though, you can't go wrong with Ryder either.

7 tackles as well against North. Think you may have sold me. Was always a big fan of his, but thought last year was too early to pick him as he died in the arse towards the end of the season. This year would be different IMO

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

Stop with the good arguments !!!

Back to the drawing board

by all means, keep Gray! stay 2000 spots behind the rest of us

 

[JT_the_Man]

To Danger or not to Danger?

That is the question that dictates my team.

Good side ....just 1 more Freo player & i think you'll hold the record of 6 Freo players in 1 side

I have 5 freo.
Tossing up a 6th

 

[WaynesWorld19]

As TheBeardAmigos said, misses 2 of the first 10, but also his draw opens up massively after China. Out of teams he averages less than 90 against over his career, he has 4 before round 10 and 2 after. Out of teams he averages over 100 against over his career, he has 3 before round 10 (missing round 1 v Freo) and 6 after. I reckon in general it's not too badly a wasted trade if it's a targeted upgrade, sort of like picking up a Sydney midfielder (Kennedy or Parker) around their bye round is usually a hit pick.

edit: not saying he's a bad pick at all - you know he will finish right up there as a forward, just that I don't think it's a wasted trade.

How's this .....what you say makes complete sense ....but of the fwd's Gray is every chance to bounce back from a down year , with most other fwd's a big ???

This is where Sicily comes into play IMO ......he covers for Gray R1 .....Naughton covers for Sicily down back R1 .......assuming Naughton can score a 70, is it fare to say my loss will be 30 ppg only ?

So in my usual spot, you're saying ?

My team as it currently stands. Not sold on my Fwd setup. Still considering Heeney, Petracca, Mclean and Cox for ruck cover. Pretty happy with everything else. Luke Ryan and C Ellis are my risks this year.

Those 3 x $250K mid-pricers are a big risk, given the $$$ the chew up ?

Confident that Ellis is a good pick. Not sold on the other two yet. Trying to find a balance between first year rookies that may be in and out of the side and 2nd and 3rd year players that are best 22 when fit.

I'm a big Brown fan, but IMO a year or two early .....i'd be more prepared to risk Deledio, who was very rusty first up, but has the runs on the board if named R1

Go on .....just add Sandi ....i did

Ryan?

Its all possible

My line up. If Dangerfield doesn't pull up for round one, will have to rejig. What are people's thoughts?

Cant really understand Ellis & Brown to be honest.

 

[Nelso]

My current lineup

$164k left in the bank

 

[scaryness]

Didn’t sexy Robbie cop a week?

Did you mean to quote me? He isn't in my team lol.

 

[vanders]

93k in the bank

 

[Penetrator]

Going for the approach of having the versatility to swap on all lines. Thoughts ?

Brown might be a gamble, but I'm confident on Ellis. 96 from 68% TOG in JLT 1 and 54 from 46% in JLT 2 after copping a head knock early. 4th season now and ideal age for a breakout year. These are the kind of players that can either make or break your team.

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Have at it. Getting closer. Open to reasonable suggestions.

I wouldn’t be confident on Ellis at all, he’s not even best 22.
