Strategy 2021 Mid-pricer madness

[Here2tellyouwhy]

I keep looking at Fantasia. People forget how good he is and now forward in a team that could beat up on a few.

Needs to average 85 to be worth it and that makes him almost a keeper.

Dont see it happening.

By this rationale you could rule out the majority of mid pricers people are looking at.

True but Caldwell playing in the guts might average 90-95 which reflects the price difference to Fantasia.
Pay a bit more now but get a bloke who could definitely become a FWD keeper.

Less risk cash wise with Fantasia but way more risk that you end up trading him without making 150k

Interesting its Caldwell I’m thinking of punting for him.

Gotta tread your own path mate. Makes sense to me to get the most for my money and i rate Caldwells abilty at 350k more than fantasias at 258k.

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Thoughts on Will Brodie?

Training the house down this summer, beat his PB in the time trial by 30 seconds apparently. Looked good vs Lions the other day. It's probably a make or break season for him as he was put up for trade and there were no takers.

Expect him to play mainly forward so will have the odd big game if he kicks a few goals, but generally low scoring imo.

Priced at 68 he probably doesn't have enough upside to be honest. Caldwell a better option.

 

[srobbo]

I wonder how much of that was due to being very unhappy at Essendon? Rhetorical question as no one would know for sure.

Even when he was playing good footy circa 17-18 he’d still miss important games with softies.

He’s cheap but he’ll let you down.

 

[Glorin]

Disagree, Caldwell will be a gun player.

I want to fit him into my team but can't unfortunately.

In fairness, I would know him if he walked past me in the street. Could be a great pick. Just dont like Essendon and their players. They generally have let me down in the past. Ridley in my team currently and he has been the recent shining light. Whatcha him crash and burn this year.

I keep looking at Fantasia. People forget how good he is and now forward in a team that could beat up on a few.

I keep looking at him too. Mostly because he's my D5 and I keep looking at my team.

He's in my team

(Which is usually reason to stay away )

Know a few people that work at Port and from all accounts he's been working his ass off since day 1 (he really stood out in the internal trial too )

Finding it very hard to fit in all of the midpricers I want.

Should I drop Phillips to squeeze in Tyson?

Maybe I should drop Clark in the back like, go full primo in defence, and then have all the midfield and forward midpricers on offer.

It’s so hard to decide. I’m like a kid in a candy shop.

*select all the midpricers!*

Why do you want Tyson that bad?

this is why. if he plays a full season hes a 90+ guaranteed almost

How does he all of a sudden become best 22 in a rebuilding team having been nowhere near for 2 years?

You are in the wrong thread my friend.

I had him that year. Began my life long obsession with midpricers and high priced rookies. If I start him again this year I’ll have come full circle.

Looking between $300k to $460k, I reckon you can make a genuine claim for the following blokes:

DEF:
Zilliams, Witherden, Duggan, Clark, Luko, Harmes

MID:
Taranto, Daicos, Serong, LDU, Anderson, Green, Heppell, Sier, Hately

FWD:
Heeney, Greene, Jartin, Langford, De Goey, Bailey, Phillips, Rayner, Cameron, Rozee, Rankine, Caldwell, TMac

Any that I've missed?


I reckon under $350k you can get away with picking them as a stepping stone, but anything above $350k, you need to be confident they'll be a keeper. There would be a bit of leeway in the middle, but down back and up forward, you need to back them in as keepers if you're picking them.


At the moment I have zero mid-pricers, probably the first time ever. If the rookies come, I'll be avoiding them.


Anything under $300k is just a cash cow...

After the preseason matches, this is my updated list:

DEF:
Zilliams (suspended for round 1, don't think it's worth benching him)
Witherden (Hurn will take too many points off him)
Duggan
Clark
Luko (inconsistent)
Harmes (butchers the ball, not sure where he fits when other players return)

MID:
Taranto
Daicos (won't get enough inside time, inconsistent scoring)
Serong ??? (didn't play in the prac matc
LDU
Anderson (playing outside, won't score enough)
Green ??? (will he get enough time on ball to score well? scored well when given the opportunity on the weekend)
Heppell ??? (got a lot of the ball, but turned it over a lot, might just be rusty)
Sier (no guaranteed spot, been a bit meh)
Hately (not best 22, has work to do, won't play round 1)

FWD:
Heeney ??? (might be spending too much time forward, especially after Mills has moved into the middle and some kids have improved)
Greene
Jartin (shocking score in the preseason match, too much time in the forward half)
Langford (spending too much time forward it seems)
De Goey
Bailey ??? (looks like he needs a few goals to score well, doesn't seem to get enough of the ball)
Phillips
Rayner (poor bloke is done for the year)
Cameron ??? (will kick goals, but he's a KPF, so he'll throw in some shockers)
Rozee (surgery, not playing early rounds)
Rankine (too much time forward, inconsistent scoring)
Caldwell
TMac (key forward, up and down scoring)

Thoughts? Agree/disagree?
