2019 planning

[atlas1]

No Brayshaw?

He could quite easily displace Merrett from my list. Should be right up there

 

[Coasters7]

It’s very tempting to have all of Steele Taranto Sheed Rockliff Crouch in the same midfield. Sets you up big time elsewhere and if they all hit 100-105 up to the byes you’re laughing. 100k maximum for upgrades to top 8 mids. Add Libba and Walsh to that too.. (Don’t talk myself into it.. don’t talk myself into it)

 

[Shadow89]

Who’s everyone’s top 8 mids and what do you think they’ll average?

Given that only 2 of each of last year's top 8 mids (for the last 4 years) have made the top 8 the next season, my guess is that Macrae and Treloar and perhaps Cogs, (to defy the trend) will be the two/three that maintain their status. The top 8 for me should look something like this:

Macrae
Brayshaw
Treloar
Cogs
M. Crouch
Danger
Zerrett
Adams

Adams is my smoky to sneak into the top 8, when he gets back, as he should play full mid and is a former top 8 mid

I have Taranto, Crouch, Sheed, Rocky, Walsh and Libba, haha. But that's balanced by Bray and Treloar at the top end

Done except Steele>Harmes

Alright boys..Taranto + Elliott vs Libba + Heeney

 

[Neale4brownlow]

Alright boys..Taranto + Elliott vs Libba + Heeney

Libba + Heeney purely because Libba seems less likely to break than Elliott.

Bit of a coin toss though!

 

[JDWCE]

Who’s everyone’s top 8 mids and what do you think they’ll average?

Macrae
Cripps
Oliver
Cogs
Beams
Yeo
M Crouch
Jelly
Fyfe
Taranto

 

[Ohh Ok]

Dusty? Yes/No? Surely with 6-6-6 even when he is thrown up forward he’ll be finding himself 1 on 1 which we would back him to win

Started in my team and a good chance to improve. Doubt he goes back to top 10 mid though and so many mid pricers look good this year its hard to fit him in.

 

[Thetrader15]

Macrae 119, Coniglio 118, Oliver 115, Treloar 115, M Crouch 115, Taranto 109, Merrett 108.

Who's the 8th?

 

[Thetrader15]

Not too different to last year IMO.

Assume you're not including Danger:
Macrae, Cogs, Cripps, Oliver, Crouch, Merrett, one of the Pies (Sidey/Beams/Treloar), some bolter.

Too hard to estimate averages.

I'm going Macrae, Cogs, J Kelly, Oliver, Treloar, Cripps, Brayshaw, Gaff

 

[Cotchy9]

Macrae and Libba
V
Zerrett and Rocky?

 

[replicant]

Thoughts on Witts vs Goldy as R2? Witts seems a value pick for about 3k more.

Witts rucked against English and Allir Aliir in the pre season and scored 80/90. One isn't good and the other isn't even a ruckman. There is no form line there to suggest he's going to score well.

Where do you see Brouch?

 

[JDWCE]

Where do you see Brouch?

Too injury prone to warrant making a top list. See below:

Year Games Average
2013- 14 ..... 92.1
2014- 11 ...... 92.5
2016- 14 ...... 86.9
2017- 17 ...... 103.1

 

[4tune8]

I'm going Macrae, Cogs, J Kelly, Oliver, Treloar, Cripps, Brayshaw, Gaff

Gaff is my 1st upgrade target

 

[VSTone]

Who's the 8th?

haha good spotting... could be anyone but i'll go Adams 108 when he returns...

Yeah, I get that...Just thinking IF he could manage a full season

*...another upgrade target

 

[Cotchy9]

Geez people are harsh on Zerrett I tell ya. 117,117 and then 101, which was actually about 110 when you take out the concussion stuff. Whether you start him or not is another thing, but I’d comfortably say he’s a top 8 mid

You starting him?

****...another upgrade target

My no.1 priority and then Merrett close behind when he shows the uptick.

The form line that suggests he'll score well is averaging 95 two years in a row in the real stuff. Can't take JLT too seriously or Jamie MacMillan is a lock D1
