[Lakey91]

Other thread is now well over 1000 posts, so probably best to continue in a new thread...

 

[rooey]

Fisher, Goddard, Cornes, Shaw, Drummond, Malceski, Raines.
- Hill, Petrenko

Kornes, Swan, Cross, Gibbs, Rich, Beams
- Liam Anthony, Mitch Robinson

Cox, Mcintosh

[blues4flag]

Tossing up between two teams.

Any advice?

BACKS: Goddard, Fisher, Cornes, Drummond, Houlihan, Raines, Grimes (Hill, Suban)
MIDS: Kornes, S.Tuck, Gibbs, Reilly, Haselby, Beams (Robinson, Anthony)
RUCKS: Cox, Fraser (Currie, Orreal)
FORWARDS: Deledio, Didak, Harvey, BJohnson, Higgins, Skipworth, Sidebottom (Ballantyne, Gumbleton)

BACKS: Goddard, Fisher, Cornes, Malceski, Houlihan, Raines, Myers(Rance, Suban)
MIDS: Knights, S.Tuck, Gibbs, Reilly, Haselby, Rich(Robinson, Swift)
RUCKS: Cox, Fraser (Currie, Orreal)
FORWARDS: Deledio, Didak, SJohnson, BJohnson, Higgins, Lucas, Zeibell(Ballantyne, Gumbleton)

Bench players and starting rookies will be finalized come round one, but which do you think is the better team?

 

[Chris25]

My first attempt at a team with no rookies starting.

Goddard, Waite, Birchall, S.Stevens, Houlihan, Geary, Raines
Hill, Broughton

Pendlebury, Gibbs, Wells, C.Morton, T.Tuck, Hasleby
Rich, Robinson

Hille, Bradley
Currie, Spencer

Didak, Giansiracusa, L.Davis, Sylvia, Higgins, Skipworth, Krakouer
Ziebell, M.Brown

I consider the 12 bolded players to be keepers, so I'm pretty happy in that regard. And I also really like my bench.

I'm considering Collier or Grimes instead of Geary, and McIntosh or Maric instead of Bradley. But I think Kepler could be a good pick this year. Should play all 22 games, and when he isn't rucking should spend more time up forward.

You could argue that this team doesn't have enough captaincy options, but it's just a matter of picking the right player each week. I'd be looking at getting a certain captain option as one of my first upgrades, so I could more than make do with rotating my captain for the first 5 or 6 weeks.

First one easily imo. Probably cause I myself have Drummond over Malceski, Grimes over Myers, Kornes over Knights, Skipworth over Lucas, Harvey over S Johnson and Beams over Rich.

However, every single one of those players I am extremely considering (except Johnson).

Looking good. So many teams are similar though... Almost my forwards, almost my backs, similar mids, similar rucks.

 

[sdsdsdsd]

Team

Backs : Goddard, Cornes, Gram, Adcock, Houlihan, Raines, Grimes (Hill, Petrenko)

Mids : Corey, Dalziell, Tuck, Gibbs, Rich, Ziebell (Robinson, Beams)

Rucks : Cox, Petrie (Grahm, Spencer)

Fowards : Deledio, Didak, Gia, JRiewoldt, Higgins, Skipworth, Krakour (Walker, Gumbelton)

 

[stuart27]

OK Chaps, I've been continuing to tinker around with Fanplanner and have two structures I'm looking at.

Would appreciate any thoughts:

Goddard C Cornes Lockyer
Adcock Malceski Houlihan Raines
(Suban McKernan)

K Cornes J Selwood Gibbs
Watson Haselby Rich
(Swift Davenport)

Cox Ottens
(Currie Sullivan)

Pavlich Deledio Harvey
Veszpremi Higgins Skipworth Yarran
(M Brown Ballantyne)

Fisher Goddard C Cornes
Adcock/Drummond Houlihan Raines Grimes
(Suban Rance)

K Cornes J Selwood Gibbs
Masten Haselby Rich
(Polkinghorne Beams)

Cox McIntosh
(White Graham)

Pavlich Deledio Johnson
Thomas Higgins Skipworth Yarran
(M Brown Hogan)

 

[BenF]

Ok guys, here's my team. Any thoughts are welcome:

Backs: Cornes, H.Shaw, Adcock, Raines, Marty Clarke, McLeod, Lockyer. (Rance, Laidler)

Mids: Bartel, Ablett, Judd, Kerr, Skipworth, Rich
(Swift, Moles)

Rucks: Cox, McIntosh
(Jacobs, Pyke)

Fwds: Riewoldt, Pav, Cloke, Veszpremi, Lucas, Higgins, Ziebell
(M Brown, Gumbleton)

Im thinking instead of Skipworth-McIntosh having Kreuzer-Hasleby. Thoughts?

 

[Maestro15]

I would greatly appreciate some feedback on my team, I've been tinkering around with my Backline and Midfield and just can't seem to get the balance right.

B:Goddard, Cornes, Lockyer, Drummond, Malceski, Raines, Grimes (Suban,Rance)

MF: Ablett, Bartel, Kornes, Judd, Ziebell, Beams
(Davenport, Robinson)

R: Cox, Simmonds
(Pyke, Spencer)

F: Pavlich, Deledio, Brown, Veszpremi, Lucas, Higgins, Hentschel
(Gumbleton, Ballantyne)

My backline is extremely risky and I could downgrade one of my premiums in the midfield, although if my backline does manage to stay on the field then I will be going extremely well.

I upgraded one of my mids to Bartel by downgrading Hodge to Lockyer, is it worth having such a powerful midfield or is it better having more stability down back?

 

[Dunn - Well Done]

Amazing to see how many people have now jumped on Grimes and Sylvia after 1 game. They played Sydney who couldnr care less about player running around free at this time of year. Look to see how they go against other teams. Dont just jump on their bandwagon over a 100+ score.

I would like to ask a question about Houlihan and Skipworth? alot of people would say pick up Houlihan in the backs and Skippy in the forwards. But when looking the midfielders dont have much around the 200k mark and the Forwards dont have many mid prices around 240-250k mark. Where are you better of picking these players??

Hi to everybody, this is the first time i am actually going to do a dream team & to admit i dont know very much about how it all works i would be gratefull for some tips. this is the team i have put together

BACKS: hodge , goddard , c.cornes , h.shaw , scarlett , raines , s.hill ,(hurley,rance)

MIDS: Ablett , judd , foley , t.tuck , h.hartlett , d.rich ,
(davenport, swift )

RUCK: Hill , kruezer , (leuenberger , graham )

Fowards: n.reiwoldt , m.richardson , l.davis , j.reiwoldt , j.roughead , d.thomas , j.ziebell (gumbelton , thorp )


this being the first attempt i have had at doing a dream team, to me it looks good BUT to the experienced dream team experts are there any glareing errors that you can see in my team.

all the help would be appreciated thanks.

Sylvia averaged 93(?) over the last 7 games in 08 and is due to have a good year. That's why I'm considering him, not because of practise games.

Grimes I've liked for a while, mainly because I've needed another cheaper option in the backs and he looks pretty enticing at his price. That being said, I don't have a lot of expectation of him score-wise as a seventh back.

I still don't understand Sylvia's appeal (haven't researched him a lot TBH), but am willing to re-assess before Rd 1.

I would like to ask a question about Houlihan and Skipworth? alot of people would say pick up Houlihan in the backs and Skippy in the forwards. But when looking the midfielders dont have much around the 200k mark and the Forwards dont have many mid prices around 240-250k mark. Where are you better of picking these players??

I'm going off the old idea that the more midfielders you have outside the midfield, the better, so they'll be in the backs and forwards respectively in my team, should they make the final cut.

I think there's enough cheap-ish midfield talent to survive without Skippy and Houlihan in there.

Seeing I'm the only one so far in this thread to have Sylvia, I assume part of that is aimed at me. I can't speak for everyone, but I am not just jumping on after one game. He has been in and out of my team ever since I started planning. He is into his 6th year and averaged 82 last year, and as somebody else mentioned averaged over 90 in the last 7 games. He is simply one of the better picks around his price.

As for Grimes, he was one of the most popular players about 6 weeks ago. His score last week helped, but he has been around the mark all pre-season.

I was new last year and made the same error, you have to pick players that can get the ball so don't get Scarlett. Judd is more of an SC'er but he could be alright this year. N.Riewoldt normally starts off quite slowly and you'll be able to get him cheaper later on so you would be better off with someone like Pav IMO. Hartlett is injured so you'll probably have to get rid of him. Leuenberger probably costs too much to have on your bench and you probably need Cox if you're taking Kreuze. Just my opinion though.

 

[JuddyisGod]

B: Goddard - Cornes - Lockyer - Birchall - Malceski - Houlihan - Grimes (Suban, petrenko )
M: Bartel - Ablett - Gibbs - Knights - Hasleby - Rich (Beams, Swift)
R: Cox - McIntosh (Currie, Spencer)
F: Pavlich - Deledio - Sylvia - Higgins - Skipworth - Ziebiell - Yarran (Ballantyne, Gumbleton))

Thoughts appreciated. Thanks guys.

thanks for the advice steele, just on hartlett its hamish hartlett not the dud carlton version is hamish injured ?
the reason i took leuenberger was in the hope his value would increase & probably trade him later on he looks like he could play most games for the lions this year.
any other advice would be grat guys, im 43 and will be competeing against my nephews who are all into the dt stuff & im a traditionalist

a 21st/22nd player would be handy!! you are two forwards short!

Yeah, unfortunately Hamish Hartlett injured his shoulder (or arm? can't remember) in the game against Geelong last week.

I'm not a fan of picking Bartel from round 1. He's going to have to score off the charts to avoid going down in price after the 3 rounds.

You can spend the money better in other places. Try getting yourself another keeper in the forwards, for instance.

Ballantyne is injured, make him a downgrade target.

 

[chickawah]

My team at the moment, although I cant stop tinkering, it's damn annoying! Hurry up 26 March!!

Backs: Hodge, Goddard, Newman, Gilbee, Adcock, Geary, Grimes (Rance, Petrenko)
Mids: Corey, Pendlebury, Gibbs, Kerr, Mackay, Rich (Beams, Meyer)
Rucks: Hille, Campbell (Roughead, Pyke)
Forwards: N.Riewoldt, Pavlich, Deledio, J.Brown, J.Riewoldt, Hentschel, Ziebell (Gumbleton, Walker)

I'm liking the look of it (at the moment) and would appreciate any advice.

 

[longytap]

This is doing my head in...
what is the best option out of these two??

A: Adcock, J Mcviegh, Vezpremi

B: Newman, Hazelbly, J Reiwoldt

Was thinking Adcock could score similar to Newman, and im just iffy on Hazelby. And you'd think J Reiwoldt would be in Richmonds 22 but ive heard Vezpremi is a goer but i know nothing about him only what ive read.
