Strategy 2022 Planning Thread

[Seymour Skinner]

 

[evo]

Macrae, Steele, Walsh, Neale, MCrouch.
Lock it in.

Dont mind that combo. Would be great to sneak Clarry in too if possible

 

[Silky23]

If I was to say anything about this year it’s to get your MID premo’s right from the start. Man.

Load up and don’t look back. Interesting though, I don’t think we’ve ever had as many guys 110+ as we have had this year? 11 guys are 115+, it’s just insane.

Macrae 129
Steele 127
Miller 124
Oliver 123
Bont 123
Walsh 119
Titch 117
Parish 116
Lyons 116
Laird 115
Zerrett 115

Tempting numbers below.
Simpkin 99
Neale 98
Treloar 91
Yeo 84
Cogs 71 (4 games)
Caldwell 70 (3 games and inj)

Yep might have save in the ruck next year.

 

[Silky23]

FWIW

Macrae 129, 121, 123, 127 (3 missed games)
Steele 127, 114 (0 missed games)
Miller 124, 105 (1 missed game)
Oliver 123, 122, 109, 114, 111 (0 missed games)
Bont 122, 116, 115, 104, 105, 107 (3 missed games)
Walsh 119, 97, 87 (0 missed games)
Titch 117, 114, DNP, 129, 119, 104, 104 (0 missed games bar ACL)
Neale 98, 134, 121, 112, 109, 112, 105 (1 missed game before this year)
Zerrett 115, 115, 105, 100, 109, 111 (2 missed games)
Laird 115, 105, 98, 108, 100 (2 missed games)

Basically you just have to lock in Macrae Oliver Neale and Titch. Bont and Zerrett next and then grab one of the others who are less proven. Steele is that guy for me. But Walsh/Miller/Parish all good picks too.

I was thinking possibly Oscar McInerney & Tim English. Both have the potential to add another 15-20 to their averages next year.
This is the Big O's scores since the bye rounds

I'm just thinking 2 of Marshall, English, Jackson with the other up forward and go gangbusters in the mids, like 6 premos or something. Has anybody here tried that?

Defenders

Rich 108, 90, 97, 79, 91 (8 missed games)
Stewart 108, 100, 98, 85 (4 missed games)
Lloyd 105, 122, 109, 112, 88, 85 (1 missed game)
Crisp 104, 99, 89, 96 (0 missed games for 7 years)
Hall 102 (can't really extrapolate as new position, but lots of missed games)
Ridley 99, 102 (1 missed game)
Ryan 99, 107, 96, 90 (9 missed games)
Docherty 98, 87, DNP, DNP, 115, 109, 87 (4 missed games before this year bar 2 ACL's)
Short 96, 96, 64, 86 (10 missed games)
Whitfield 95, 105, 111, 100, 98 (20 missed games)
Sicily 103, 94, 105 (14 missed games)

Then it's a crap shoot. Stewart and Lloyd should really be in every team. Sicily a lock also. Then???

tbh I'm not sure Stewart and Lloyd are locks. Lloyd is now just a solid 100-105 avg player and his reliance on kick outs is somewhat of a concern. Stewart is another one in the same category. The only one there that I reckon is a 110+ player is Hall weirdly enough and he's probably going to be the same price as the aforementioned, also Ziebell actually.

Don't mind it at all.
I think Gawn, Grundy and Darcy will go ~120, not 130.
Gawn and Grundy aren't as durable and reliable as they once were. Gawn has Jackson to deal with, Grundy has Cameron who keep getting games, and Max Lynch who is set to sign a contract extension. Darcy is still young and injury prone.
I like the idea of starting two RUCk/FWD's as my R1 and R2, then using the money to take 6 mid premos (Neale and Matt Crouch at M5 and M6). As long as the DEF and FWD rookies appear*. That way you can pick up ruck studs like Gawn/Grundy/Darcy later in the season and move those DPP RUCK/FWD's to the forward line. OMac will be ruck only, but there's still a chance that English gets RUCK/FWD. Marshall is a lock for RUCK/FWD. I don't think I'd consider anybody else (too soon for Jackson)

*pretty much the determining factor, because if there's too many must-have mid rookies, then you just can't take more than 4 or 5 mid super premos. I wouldn't sacrifice a god tier ruck for a DEF premo, so unless there's ample DEF and FWD rookies, scrap that.


In the end I'll probably take Grundy and Darcy. The team I posted a few days back looks bloody good. I reckon I'll end up very similar to that (if I can afford it...)

Stewart, Lloyd, Crisp
Macrae, Steele, Oliver, Bont, Neale
Darcy, Grundy
Marshall, De Goey, Thomas

Stewart is an elite interceptor, lock for mine.

At this early stage it is
Stewart
Crisp - durable and consistent
Lloyd - durable and consistent
Hall - a risk but underpriced and can take the risk with above 3 so reliable.

But losing Laird and Mills, there's no defenders above 110, except Zieb, who is about to drop under.
100-105 average for defenders is perfect. Geez, I remember when 90-100 was good for def premos lol, and it wasn't that long ago

Same 4 for me, if I take 4 DEF premos. I don't think I will though, provided there's enough rookies, so Hall drops out as he's my 4th choice.

Yes depends where the rookies are, I ended up going 5 premo defenders this year as there were hardly any rookie defenders this year and most if not all didnt have great JS or expensive that started Round1. Can only think of Highmore/Sharp/Butts and a North defender Young I think, am probably missing someone.

I expect us to try and find a number 1 ruck so English can return to his r/f role from earlier on in the season.

Do not pick Ryan he will do your head in.

 

[ImissFrosty]

tbh i might run the North gulls at D1 and D2, they've just been incredible and i dont have the same injury concerns as i did at the start of this year.
They'd probably be a bit of a POD duo too which is sick.
Zieb priced $550-600k
Hall priced $510-560k

compared to
Stewart $540-590k
Lloyd $520-570k

Just feel like the potential points differential between the north gulls and the traditional gulls is too big to pass up for the little price gap. Hall is at a 113 avg since round 7 when he kinda officially went back, i don't think LLoyd could be a 110-115 player next year IMO, that 5 point gap x 22 rounds is an extra 110 points, at the same price i think that's worth

I think honestly if you don't start with Will Gould on the ground D3 then your no chance.

InB4 medi sub in round 23. Comes on in the last quarter, scores 6 points and then gets delisted at the end of the year, Relton style.

 

[ImissFrosty]

quit laughing at me Silky23 my takes are elite

 

[Soggy2112]

Stewart (550-600k)
Hall (500-550k)
Whitfield (450-500k)
Sicily (350-400k?)
Milera (200-250k?)

Does that sound about right?

There is zero chance you take Ziebell in the backline moving forward imo, that is a disaster waiting to happen. At least Hall is young and has shown incredible glimpses.

Will also be interesting to see if SC nerf kick out points. That will kill JZ and a number of other players value.

Hope you have 17 trades at the spare bc f*** me there is 4 extremely injury prone players right three lmao
