2019 Planning Thread

[WaynesWorld19]

One of Grundy or Gawn will have an injury plagued year and those that have him will be plotting for 2020 by the byes.

Will you choose wisely?

I agree .....the problem is which one?......and can one or both repeat their 2018 form .....myself I'll be expecting both to drop in price, as Danger did .....I'll swoop then

The problem is which Ruck to start with .....has to be Gawn ...sustained period, runs on the board

I’d be taking Grundy if I had to pick one.

Has only missed 6 games in the last 4 years

 

[Seymour Skinner]

I'm definitely starting with Gawn and Grundy.

Not missing out on Grundy again by not picking him and watching him dominate every week while I am stuck with some honest battler like Nank.

Picking Grundy last year and dealing with the crap scores when Cox played has really been a kick in the balls this year.

I'd probably take Grundy. Would love to see the stats on HOTA for both of them, but Grundy gets more of it around the ground. Having said that though, at the moment I would be starting with both and building my team around them, despite the fact that both together will cost $1.4m.

Such a shame that Stanley's rubber bands snapped. Abbot would have been a great R3 next year.

Will be 1 of the differing strategies next year .....get it wrong & you'll be behind the 8-ball

$1.4M is a lot of coin for 2 x non-midfielders

Grundy & Gawn will cost significantly more next year when starting off. You need to take that into account as that’s less cash spent elsewhere.
If you could have a mid costing $240ish and giving you 90+ return then you’d jump at him.

If the same formula for calculating prices this year is used for next year, Gawn would be starting at $693 200 and Grundy would be $711 800 next year based on current averages.

 

[gutsroy]

LOL!

I reckon Billings will be a good POD next year.

He will get played more as a mid now but hardly anyone will pick him due to being so burnt from owning him this year.

Can easily see Billings averaging 95 + next season.

Jokes and hoping there’s a circle in hell reserved for the little pig****er aside, fair chance both he and the Saints will rebound and the poor start has him starting at a decent price.
Absolutely worth considering, have to keep an open mind.
Did I mention he’s a pig****er?

That's better than the $750K Danger cost ....which i didn't take

It's just the injury situation that worries me ...... Coaches held Macrae, Fyfe, Walters this year, using rookies ......but it's more difficult holding 1-2 week injuries with Rucks ?

Risk/ reward. I didn't take Danger either but Gawn and Grundy are so far ahead of everyone else at the moment it's not funny. More choices in the mids. A $400k ruck is just as much a risk of being injured as a $700k ruck.

Grundy's 3 game ave of 150 ....5 game ave 144 ......do we really think that is close to being replicable in 2019

Danger, who everyone said was a must have .....well, his season ave has plummeted to 118

Hes buried deep in my forward line

 

[Huttabito]

I was very pleased with Witts as a R2 last year. I'd probably go balls to the wall and do the same with Preuss if at a new club.

I’ve got him in my back pocket

I have more faith in Grundy replicating it than I do Gawn. He is a supreme specimen of an athlete.

Question then.....was Grundy in your starting side ?

I'm certainly not denigrating Grundy .....but it would be highly unusual for a 30 point average increase year on, to be maintained .....I'd expect a 10 point fall, to a 117 average

 

[Hai_Newman]

Pick the Ruck with the best preseason and draw (guessing Collingwood) for early year Captain scores,
or best mids at his feet.
Then will look for value at R2.
DPP R3, then go shopping for a gunny mid at M6.

Come on bruh, that's what trades are for!

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Just looking at it and I reckon ill start with Hurn again next year.
Just adds so much needed sexiness to my team.

Expect something different from me next year campaigners Except Hurn obviously
