Strategy 2022 Planning Thread

Dunstan potentially heading to the Dees. Don't think he's fantasy relevant, probs just depth.

Doubt anyone that's being traded this year is relevant. Very dry.

Remember the theory that the drafted kids hadn't played much footy and wouldn't get early games due to a lack of match fitness, so there'd be no rooks? A theory I subscribed to and went full-on MPM, and which turned out to be wrong?

Is there more chance of it happening in 2022? It's now two years of bugger all footy that the Victorian kids have endured.

How can they possibly step up to AFL level from that base?

Someone like a JHF will be fine as he's played a season of SANFL, but he'll be the exception rather than the rule.

Just wondering what others' thoughts about this are

There's always enough rookies.

Dawson worth a look as a defender. Will probably be around $550k, but if the Crows play him on the wing, I reckon he's a lock for a 100+ avg with a few monster scores.

Dawson should be a fine pick, but he was already 5th for total points and 7th for average in the backline, don't think there is massive upside.

103 in wins.
96.8 in loses.
Not a bad W/L difference.

Struggling to find the stats but Lloyd took 90% of the Swans’ kick ins didn’t he?

I’d say Dawson will either be playing up the ground a lot more for Adelaide, or if he’s down back he’ll take a good chunk of our kick ins.

One to watch but I can see potential for increased scoring.

 

[Thuggee_Cult]

George Hewett is worth a look depending on how high up he ends up on the Blues' midfield totem pole.

Should cost a touch under $400k, capable of big scores when he's played in the midfield. Could easily see him becoming a sideways trade to a premium.

If Hewett is an SC mid , it’s a hard no for me.

However, he is an SC defender, he is absolutely worth considering. He’ll be Carltons 3rd best mid.

He actually spent most of this year down back, swapping his role with Mills is one of the big reasons we were a much better team this year.

The only reason he played mid late in the year was that Mills and JPK were both injured.

Watch this space if he has the toughest preseason in the years and trains the house down.

Cerra, Walsh, Hewitt and Cripps (lol) is a good midfield. Surely helps Walsh the most as it takes some focus away from him?

Hewitt's not relevant as MID only, maybe if he is DEF eligible.

Cerra $480k
Cripps $450k (surely he bounces back?)
Hewitt $394k

One of those three must go 100+? Could be an option if you need a cheaper mid, but all have risk.

Forgot about Cerra

Hewett will be the defensive mid while the other 3 all go Hollywood downhill skiing.

Even when George tags he can still get the pill.

Fair enough. Hewett does become much more relevant if he gets mid/def status.

My line of thinking with him as a mid is that he averaged around 100 in the games Mills missed and he played as a full-time mid, so I could see him working his way up to ~$550k off the back of a steady climb and perhaps 1 or 2 big scores, and then becoming an easy upgrade to a fallen premo, but it's certainly far less risky if he gets DPP status.

Granted, there's probably going to be alternative options that are safer bets to generate $150k+

Having had Cerra this year I'm very keen on not starting a "M8" player who tops out around 100. Even if you make cash off them they are so hard to do that sideways trade to a fallen premo as your always have more important trades to make.

I like Hewitt as a defender at that price, fingers crossed. He could be very useful as premo defenders might be an issue next season. Only 7 averaged 100+ this year and two defintely won't be DEF next season (Mills, Laird) and two more might not (Crisp, Dawson).

They'd be having a laugh if Dawson didn't get it IMO. He played at half back for ~70% this year. But it can be a bit of a chool raffle, so who knows?

Dawson and Crisp are locks for mine if they get DPP.

To be honest, I’d consider Laird as a mid only option.

 

[SSwans2011]

Also going to be watching Mills closely, because watch out if he stays fit over the pre-season. Might be a touch under $600k and averaged 112.4 this year despite apparently playing injured for large parts of it. Not to mention, it was his first season as a midfielder.

 

[Me Myself and I]

 

[Soggy2112]

To be honest, I’d consider Laird as a mid only option.

One to watch but hopefully from a Crows perspective he gets less midfield minutes which probably rules him out in SC.

On a positive note we will gain 2x 105+ Defs in Ziebell & Hall + Heppell, Dale, Hind & Impey who averaged 99-90 + Sicily who was averaging 100+ just before his injury last year.

Yep.

Def's are viable scorers.

Need some players to pick up FWD DPP.

Yeah Hall is the bright spot I forgot about him. Ziebell not likely to be worth his start price imo, was tailing off second half of the year.

Sicily will depend on his price/how he's used. Be nice having a campaigner in my team again though.

Do you see any of those others going 100+?

23 year old former top 10 pick.

Vfl fantafy average of 113

Watchlist if he finally gets midfield role now with freo

I read recently that Ziebell played most of the second half of the season injured. Probably still over-priced though.

Heppell averaged just under 100 all while coming off an interrupted pre-season (missed rd 2-3) as well as 2 breaking both thumbs a month apart later in the year, yet he never dipped below 80 SC points. Super consistent stats wise with 21+ possies in every game. Can see him going 100-105 in 2022 with an uninterrupted pre-season if he plays the same HB role again.

Do you think he could possibly be Def/Mid?

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Hall was already a lock for me next year.
Even easier pick now that Tigers fans will be deathriding Norf for their 2nd rounder.
Concede all the points, take all the kick ins!

Early days, but Lloyd, Hall, Rids and Whit for me.

 

[La Dispute]

Cerra is going to play more on the inside at Carlton I reckon. Didn’t really need to be up at the stoppages at Freo with Brayshaw, Serong and Mundy in there.

Definitely on the watch list.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Yeah Whitfield might have to be selected priced @ 93. Should go 100+ easy, might be the top defender. He's a constant injury worry though.

I like Ridley, but not sure about his role. Will have a beady eye on him in PS. Heppell really put the slows on him this year.

Reckon we'll need at least 4 starting premo's in defensive again? I suspect we will.
