2019 Planning Thread

He no football

Sweet but he can potato right?

 

[Unknown Identity]

Im thinking this too.

Out of anyone line of players that suffers from the rule changes I reckon it will be rucks that go backwards.

Who to pair Goldy with is the toughest selection for me.

Could roll the dice on Kruezer at $432k but that sounds as appealing as rubbing one out with a hand full of broken glass.

Just need Witts to go down with some kind of injury and jump on the Tom Nicholls train at 220K

Im thinking Lycett.
Port suck at moving the ball and kick it long on a skinny ground.
He will get a fair bit of ruck tine and can kick a goal.
Again injuries are an issue but I reckon he's about to hit full flight

For me no question ....it's Gawn every day of the week ....he's proven & trusted

Don't forget, we should be selecting 2-3 captain options for our team .....me ATS; Danger, Tom Mitchell, Gawn

Biggest concern with Lycett is how much time is split with Paddy Ryder, but whenever Ryder goes down which will happen, Lycett will cash in big time.

Looking forward to seeing what Westhoff's role will be, if he's playing as another midfielder higher up the ground and floating into defence for intercept marks i think i'll go Goldy and Westhoff.

Dees plan to play Gawn and Preuss together.
Me no rikey.

Danger, Mitchell and Macrae as my captain options.

Disagree .....whilst there are doubts with other teams, Port will have the ruck duo of Paddy & Lycett ......no way, I'm picking either of those two

Wouldn't touch Ryder but Lycett will go 95 i reckon

Yeah Yeah ....i think that was more Preuss saying that, rather than the club .....Gawn is the man, he likes Ruck time & has openly said he likes being #1 .....he ain't sharing with anyone, unless injured

Shakes head .......we've never had Lycett B4 & it was only because of NicNat's injury he was a SC option last year .....why is he all of a sudden SC relevant ?

ATM i have Gawn & Kruezer .....but that could become Gawn & Goldilocks

I know Gawn isn't exactly going to say **** Preuss, he can pry a ruck spot from my cold dead hands but...

"[The] premiership team had a 50-50 ruck combo so it is certainly something that can work," Gawn said.

"Unfortunately we haven't been blessed with ruck depth over the last couple of years so it would be handy to have someone like that to play alongside," Gawn said.

And unless Preuss is absolutely braindead surely he has been given some indication Melbourne's game plan in 2019 revolves around 2 rucks, why else would you leave North with an aging Goldy to the Dees with a younger Gawn.

This is what every Draft Expert was asking and scratching their heads about
Two
It's been stated, the new rules (particularly kickouts) will speed the game up in 2019 ......a lot of clubs loaded up on speed at the Draft, taking some earlier than expected, because of the speed trait

So will clubs be inclined to play two rucks, with the game getting quicker & more emphasis again on frontal pressure ? ......even Geelong have come out and said, they're changing their gameplan, to put more emphasis on frontal pressure

Two Rucks in the team

 

[buttox]

So who are your "confident" under $150K Rookies then ? .....again lots of expensive Rookies & we know they all basically failed to appreciate in value enough last year

mckay and wilkinson from my mob.
not 100% on price as i dont have team picker.
mckay looks like he ate magac daw. absolute monster unit.
thompson suspended r1 so mckay should play that game

 

[Sir Skid]

Bob Cobb Keg on legs thoughts on longer?

Sir Skid joop
You guys playing/losing to my side this year?

Doubt it mate.
Longer is like a sweetpotato without the sweet

 

[Changa10]

What about Big Boy McEvoy? Does he become a viable option? Was super consistent last year.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Surely Corbett is another guaranteed cheap starter for the suns.

Constable won't be far off. Valente might get a look early.

Rooks always reveal themselves after the JLT in the lead up to round 1.

Agree ....just placeholders ...I look at Rookies ATM and say who the F...k are you ?

Is this the first of a new season ?

Well ...I'm the guy whose been asking for help (you included) .....and guess what, all I got was ..

You guys may know your players (you excluded) ......but as far as SC setups and customization .....you're all the pits

 

[SavDog23]

Favorite rookie names so far.
C Nutting. J Butts. I Mosquito. B Schlensog (Schlong). Guy Walker. M Hore. D Eggmolesse-Smith (Egg Molester).

 

[pulpdriver]

Can't wait to see Nutting Hore Butts in action.

Your post said who the **** are you

I just posted it in gif form

Harris Andrews might be a nice POD.
Averaged 97 first 12 games before that sniper Cameron shattered his jaw.

Racks up points with spoils with his go go gadget arms.

The injury affected 22 lowered his average and took a couple of games to get settled on his return, finished the season with 91,96,91.

Have been keen and had him on my first line up. Price not super though, would have loved a discount. Interested to see what impact Adams has, how they will use the two.

 

[gutsroy]

FWD rookies seem a little bare, but def rookies are good IMO, just not bargain basement priced. Collins, Logue and Cox are all options between $160k and $190k. Would expect all three to be there round 1 unless injury hits. I wouldn't be comfortable paying that much for 3 rookies from this years draft but they are all a couple of years older with more pre seasons under their belts.

Running all three currently, hope it stays that way.

Hanners
Gresh more mid time (lade has said repeatedly)

Billings can f off

Hanners I'm keener on than Libba, Libba injuries a concern, Hanners should play inside, durable.
Possibly Robinson Crusoe but don't reckon Gresham will break out.
Billings deserves a place in hell for all eternity, but reckon I'll probably end up starting one FWD in that price range. Would prefer it not to be Billings.
