Strategy 2024 Planning Thread

If he gets Will Days old role as Day plays mostly midfield now that’s a lock. He’s a great user of the ball and he will get lots of chances on that hawks team

Don't they already have Impey, Seamus and Weddle? Add Sicily as the General and kick-in man, plus Jiath who should return, and he loves a run off half back.

You simply can't go THAT light up top. If a couple cheapies get dropped, you're finished.

Also forward rookies are typically trash. Often throw up 20s and 30s.

Gotta take 1 reliable player (a $500k bloke, or Flanders, or Bazlenka), then mid pricers and a couple rookies.

Turn your D4 or D5 into F1 and I reckon it'll be very feasible next year.

based on rookies over the last two years you just wont get away with that many $124k

I sort of agree but Flanders or Bazlenka will hardly be locks at $500k
The forward line will be the hardest line to start next year for sure.

The forward line will be the hardest line to start next year for sure.

I'd rather take a Baz or Flanders and hope they go 90+, than take a $500k player that will go 90 (Greene, Moore, etc). Not only are they cheaper, but higher potential.

I think Baz, in his contract year, after a poor season, injuries and suspensions over the last couple of years, will go bang. People have forgotten he's a gun, he'll have a point to prove. He doesn't need CBAs, just needs to play wing and have high TOG%.

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Wouldn't stress too much about the forward line yet, no doubt a few options will present.

Macrae priced @ 100 is the one I'm watching, any sign Crazy Bevo is on the correct meds and is going to use him properly and he's a lock.

Lock him in for 2025

if mills is out do any of the other swans midfielders present value?

parker might be made to play forward more next year too - he looked decent playing more there in the round 24 game against melbourne

warner turns 23 next year and is priced at 100 from 53% cba's - might be a breakout season on the cards for him next year

Sheldrick would be the one we'd want to benefit from an SC perspective I'd think.

Warner's a decent shout – might get a slight uptick from having a better ruck, too. Not sure his disposal efficiency will get him into that 110+ range that we desire (as he's not a massive accumulator), but there should be some linear improvement you'd imagine.

Sheldrick becomes a whole lot more enticing too. Approx $330K

Forward eligible too.

Terrible price though.

I might be thinking of someone else, but isn't Warner very susceptible to a tag?

Suppose Gulden will get attention first for the Swans though.

Yeah, he is a bit. Not a big factor in my watchlist currently, but could definitely see him upping his output.

Might be one of those to pick up during the season after a down game or two.

Are you sure? Fairly sure I remember seeing someone on here saying he was mid only.

 

[stevebbb]

Forward eligible too.

Nope, not forward eligible, will be MID only. His split was posted a while ago.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Nope, not forward eligible, will be MID only. His split was posted a while ago.

Oh yeah, good point.

Easy pass at that price then.

Angus Sheldrick​

Midfield	73%
Forward	28%

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Ah yep, thought he was gonna be fwd too. Definite skip on him then.
