Strategy 2024 Planning Thread

And Owens F2.

I reckon Bolton will be a good starting pick.

 

[pincrusher]

I reckon Bolton will be a good starting pick.

If you are happy to ride the roller coaster, yes. Too inconsistent for mine though.

Rollercoaster scorers work better as upgrade targets when they are inevitably cheaper in price

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Has there ever been a bigger lock than Grundy?

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Has there ever been a bigger lock than Grundy?

Dunkley this year?

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Dunkley this year?

True. I reckon doubling down on Dunkley next year is the go. Always overlooked when players lose DPP.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Very keen on Gulden, he's getting better and better. Can see him 120+ next year. There will be a lot of choice in the midfield next year.

I'm tempted to put him down as an upgrade target purely because I'm wary on players following up from having such a great breakout season. Haven't really seen the opposition put much focus into nullifying him yet so far. Although, if he retains DPP then it might be too hard not to put him in my side.

Was going to ask for thoughts on Nick Hinds? 20+ down on average on his last two seasons. Going to be a bit underpriced. Worth considering?

I posted the time in position stats in this thread a few weeks ago. Can't see Gulden retaining DPP. You could be right about leaving him as an upgrade as he can still put out a stinker.

Not sure on Hinds, Essendon fans will know better but is he really best 22?

 

[Chaisa]

Has there ever been a bigger lock than Grundy?

Even if he does leave I could still see an argument for going English + Gawn instead. Would be a tough choice between those three, in any case (unless one of them has FWD eligibility).

looking good late in the year.

Any chance next year is the last of his current contract?

 

[Jcpdragonx]

English used forward more tonight and helped them win the game, Lobb was BOG in the second half and English had an impact. Will be around 710k. Grundy is locked at 480k odd, might be a bye flip but regardless will make money and should be 15 pts minimum underpriced. Darcy is an interesting one but Jackson has done well in the ruck. Darcy is far better a hitouts though.

I'll probably start off with Grundy Darcy at this stage and get one to English at some point, save 130k from Darcy to English. Might not be worth the headache though. If it wasn't for this forward time I'd save the headache and go English. Briggs is another coming off age and one to watch.

Tim Kelly looking good late in the year.

Been good most of the year, just hard to get KOTD points in a losing team, but back to his Geelong form finally.

 

[kenneyswarriors]

So KOTD points got nothing to do with disposal efficiency ?

No's 467 and 472/3 are interesting.

 

[kenneyswarriors]

This is more like it.

 

[freddy mercury]

Going to try save some trades for late in the season, feel like you can make up heaps of rank by doing that. I'm about to end the season with Docherty, Cripps, Diacos and Macrae on the bench, two trades would be handy.

 

[No eye deer]

Kept the faith (read: didn’t get a chance to trade him) in Hayden Young

and he’s rewarded me handsomely this finals series.
First picked SC defender if Freo state that he will be staying in the mids. He has thrived since moving there.

English is averaging 17 more than the next best ruck this year. Brave fade.

Long time away so wont think too hard about it, but would like to hear more on English's role in preseason

100%. I wrote down yesterday that you have to have 2 trades for the final round.

Would have had Walker in this year for GF's.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Should be allowed to VC a bench player if you have the E on him.

 

[South of the Yarra]

After this year's woeful performance, I better start researching early.

is an even bigger lock than this year. Going to be one of the first picked almost every year for the next decade I imagine.

Bont, Oliver, Green, Dunkley I'm already pencilling in as my starting premos in the midfield. Tim Kelly

will be strongly considered.

Like Owens and Windhager from the Saints.

Flanders a lock and Coleman look like good value.

Grundy a lock if he moves.

I'm staying the **** away from Suns mids. Too unpredictable.

 

[jdstorm]

Has there ever been a bigger lock than Grundy?

Himmelburg. Priced at about 500k and has D/F DPP

Edit: looks like he won’t be DPP but still a solid pick at that price

 

[5ammy]

Think this might be my last year with Max… will be 32 when next season starts. Grundy definitely a stand-out if he moves clubs.
