ask the hack!

[footyhack]

as this will help me as well, i'm going to put it out there ask me somthing about a player, stragety or your team and i will go off do some looking around and get back to you. i know it looks like i'm new to this but it's only that i redid my profile for this year + my job gives me alot of time to do the leg work for you hope this is useful

well footy hack,

who are your top 3 (in terms of getting a game and going up most in price from the beggining of2010)

Morabito (fre), Bastinac (kang), Black (kang), cunnington (Kang), Butcher (port), Moore (port), Martin (rich), Sheppard (wc), Lucas (carl), Watts (melb).

This is my shortlist of the young players that are ready for a debut so im just getting another opinion on whether others out there have a similar thought and if there are any other young blokes....maybe some cheaper options aswell?

 

[kreuze_missile]

ya hi can u pls tell me bout nik riwolt i herd he plays for st killda n dey plaid finelz or sumfin

 

[BlueGibbs2011]

Hack, could you please sniff out some information on Freo's Crowley.

He is only 280k and is a mature strong body. I'm thinking he would have to be a walk up start for Freo's midfield, and I can see him doing a Kirk to a lesser extent, i.e. evolving from a tagger only to a tagger+playmaker!

I can't see Hill and the outher youngsters being preferred over him given their only decent big bodied mid (Pavlich) is moving fwd this year!

Please Hack, you are my only hope!

well footy hack,

Morabito (fre) footy ready but will be conpeting with others for a spot as freo has alot of kids with a few games last year, in saying that i think he will play at some stage 10-15 games at a geuss
Bastinac (kang)at about 74kg may need to bulk up a bit i think martin would be my first pick
, Black (kang),there are others in line lock for next year unless smashs the NAB cup cunnington or bastinac 1,2 then black 3 but wach NAB cup!
cunnington (Kang) loves the tackels, strong will get mid time and at 84kg is ready!
, Butcher (port),good mark kicking needs work keep an eye on this kid i think he's a "long term" thing so late in the year
Moore (port) training well, will get a run in the NAB wach
, Martin (rich) a must have looking at there list will play 22 if fit!, Sheppard (wc) small @ 75kg but traning very well a safe pick as alot of ppl will have him will get mid time if he plays!
, Lucas (carl) will need a spot freed up in the team 7-9 games at best IMO not sold at all
, Watts (melb). only way is up for him and the club and will play 22 if fit but how well will he score is the problem worth the punt i say

others
Scott Gumbleton if fit will play

out of your list i would go 1) martin 2)cunnington 3)watts because he will play 22 and is cheep

p.s Morabito if he is playing would be pick 1 but i dont see him at round 1 as yet hope this helps

ya hi can u pls tell me bout nik riwolt i herd he plays for st killda n dey plaid finelz or sumfin

roo will be playing to win this year after last years let down, he is a slow starter but i think he is a must from the get go this year, plays like a mid and is as fit as st kilder will be the no 1 team through the year this year.
48 as his low score last year and 157 as a high av of 113 will be over the 100 again this year a must have!!

 

[Frrost11]

cheers hack...great input.

ofcourse you have trngrove and scully to pick but would i be stupid to pick martin and cunnington over them 2?

i have looked evreywhere and cant find anything on wells(kang), is he fit? wil he play rd 1 onwards?

is hawkins(gee) worth the punt this yr? same goes with myers (ess)?

is in the best 22 and will improve with freo but doing a kirk well....cant see it, but at 280k is a good pick up all the same. cant find much on him but i would say av 0f 75-95 at best more likley 65-75 still at 280k hard to go past a good way to make some cash and you are right in saying pav will be up fwd this year so go for him.
p.s i'll keep looking and get back to you cant find any thing

scully well were to start, the next GAJ well big call without seeing him play a game yet but i get the feeling that melb wont be rushing him, he has had osteitis pubis is there a risk there?
if you want take trengrove as a ruck then fit martin in and you get all 3
as far as i know wells is doing ok and should be back up this year
hawkins worth it myers is a bigger risk with bigger pay off to and if he dose nothing this year may find himself delisted or traded he'll know that and may do good things. still both a risk

 

[MT_report]

Who do you think will be the highest point scorers in each position ?

Hey Hack......below is my current selected side. Any input and suggested improvements you could see would be appreciated.

Backs: H. Shaw Hodge Fisher Kennelly Ladson Sheppard Moore Emg: Phil Davis, J Trengove
good but shaw can get taged out of the odd game 8-9 outa 10

Mids: Ablett Pendlebury Vince Cooney Trengove Martin Emg: Morabito Bastinac
good 9-10/10
Rucks: Jolly Tippett Emg: Warnock Lobbe
good 8-9/10
Fwds: Riewoldt Franklin Didak Knights Higgins Ziebell Reimers Emg: Gumbleton Tappscott
buddy will have a better year but is hot and cold low of 16 last year and 2 in the 20s i think. still a gun
didak i think he peeked last year cant do tags well at all and has'nt played a full year since 06. still a gun
higgins will get taged this year but may still get good scores if fact it may help!! hip?
the only prob is your fwd about a 6-7/10

 

[footyhack]

Who do you think will be the highest point scorers in each position ?

back: goddard, goodwin,hodge
mid abblet, swan,vince hayes penders
ruck tippet sandy coxs

Mr Hack,

Could you provide us with a list of all the discounted players this year and what % they are discounted, thanks.

hawkins worth it myers is a bigger risk with bigger pay off to and if he dose nothing this year may find himself delisted or traded he'll know that and may do good things. still both a risk

i think he meant Trengove (melbourne midfielder) not Trengove ( Port Adelaide's Ruckman)

 

[Jimbo_Jones]

Hack, got to ask you something regarding strategy...

eg,

Lets say I have a.walker in my mids, who is only a mid... And lets say A.Goodes in my forwards, who is both a mid and foward.

Can I trade A.Walker for someone like J.Brown who is only a forward, and at the same time as doing the trade can I put Goodes in my mids?? Or is the position swapping just what it is being able to swap players from position if capatible?

 

[ando5]

footy hack let me know what ya thing mate:

Backs: Goddard, Enright, Hodge J.Mcdonald Kenelly Hunt t, Gillies
Emg. Reid Trengrove

Mid: Ablett hayes vince Dalziell Martin A.Walker
Emg: Morabito Bastinac

Ruck: Tippet Hille
Emg: skipper,gawn

Forward:Riewoldt Goodes Pavlich waite R.murphy burton t.walsh

the list should be at fan footys fanplaner i hope

 

[footyhack]

ho that 1 ok well wach the NAB and pick the best 1 of the 2 DONT take both

 

[footyhack]

footy hack let me know what ya thing mate:

Backs: Goddard, Enright, Hodge J.Mcdonald Kenelly Hunt t, Gillies
Emg. Reid Trengrove
all good mc donald is geting on a bit the only let down
Mid: Ablett hayes vince Dalziell Martin A.Walker
Emg: Morabito Bastinac
hayes will drop a in price but is still a keeper gun the rest is good
Ruck: Tippet Hille
Emg: skipper,gawn
hille round 1? could be gold could be real bad time will tell
Forward:Riewoldt Goodes Pavlich waite R.murphy burton t.walsh
Emg: Butcher,Gumbleton
pav less time in the mid may drop his scores but should kick more goals is still a keeper
burton old and only 5 games last year is a risk
walsh may not get a lot of time on the park

 

[ando5]

Thanks for the advice.

i'm not the full book on this but there is a thread for this wich should help
