Teams My 2018 RDT Squad

[Kelly N]

As long as the Swans premos are performing, then no reason to be concerned

In 2014 I had my best ever SC year coming 201st, that was off the back of strong Swans and Pies premiums in Pendles, Beams, JPK, Parker, McVeigh and the great POD Malceski, while Langdon was the best rookie that year.

Some weeks there may be a dip in scoring but that can occur any old time, such as copping injuries early in games.

A couple of years ago I finished the season in SC with Parks, Hanners, JPK and Titch all in my midfield and it actually worked out pretty well. Mind you I did get one or two of them in after the Swans had their bye but was rocking with all 4 for a solid 6 or 7 weeks.

Just so long as you believe there is value in each underlying pick (and don't have a totally skewiff bye structure across your whole side) then that is really the most important thing.

Here's what I expect will be my final team bar any selection shocks tonight. 51k in the bank. A few unique-ish players in there like McDonald, Cole and Wingard who I'll need to fire.

Is Garlett a better pick as a benchie over the Eagles boys?

I reckon I am going to bypass Garlett for Langdon/A WC boy mainly due to the fact I want to tinker with late mail if required. Choosing Garlett will remove some flexibility in late changes.

Anyone from other leagues can join DIV 5 now, 8 spots left

Just post in that thread

Slippers you still want in?

Apart from LDU I really like that team.

I’ve had LDU pencilled into my 2018 team since about June last year. Not an amazing pre-season but I’m backing him to score better in the real stuff, he’s a gun. Remember how s**t Andrew McGrath was in the JLT last year?

 

[Benji85]

Are folk going with Shane Savage based just off his JLT? or is there something I'm not getting?

I am. Averaged 90 coming back form injury and has performed well in the JLT.

Sometimes you have to risk it to get the biscuit

He pinched that juicy rebounding role out of defence from Roberton in the second half of last season that saw his numbers spike and Roberton's dip. Has carried on with that role in the JLT so the Saints appear to be very comfortable with the ball in Sav's hands. As such I'm going to have a crack at him too in at least one format.

 

[go you pups]

Reckon he's SC relevant but not DT

His best two years was 2016-17 average wise, 76 + 81 and last year he was injured for 2 months I think? Not to mention he's 27.

Trap

Check 2nd half of year + JLT....new role.

I like it. Only thing is I think 3 midfield rookies could cost you a few points and a jump start.

Alternatively, if they all fire you're making good cash.

 

[Benji85]

Assuming Angus Brayshaw and Tim Kelly will be included on Sunday....hopefully. Looks like everyone on my team is in pretty much

Nice

 

[CJApples87]

He crashed and burned big time

That’s not what you said though.

Thanks for talking me out of Vlastuin, Slippers.

He gave away so many frees early on

Good player, but don't know how he hasn't came on in fantasy footy as he was a gun rookie

 

[Tippaz]

D - Laird, Simpson, Lloyd, Coffield, Doedee, Murray, [Finlayson, Murphy]
M - Mitchell(c), Dangerfield, Merrett, Martin, J.Kelly, Armitage, D-Uniacke, Banfield, [T.Kelly, Barry, Holman]
R - Gawn, Lycett, [English]
F - Menegola, Billings, Heeney, D.Smith, Christensen, Rayner, [Fritsch, Garlett]

7k leftover
i'm totally committed to Coffield and Dangerfield (he will miss 1 game at most)
got at least 1 player from every team too

I am concerned about Fogarty’s job security once Tex and Lynch come back.

 

[Cattas_21]

Is anyone putting L Murphy back in their side now that he's been picked?

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

same, but i like what i see

plus Jenkins is a spud, they should drop him first

 

[HolyRioli]

Is anyone putting L Murphy back in their side now that he's been picked?

No. It takes so much work to trade up from a failed 128k rookie if they don't keep their spot. At least with a 155k rookie you can sideways without needing the cash in the bank

 

[Schulzenfest]

Murphy is a classic trap pick. I hope a lot of people fall for it, because it’ll only help my overall ranking if they do.

Earlier in the week the Crows announced debuts for Doedee and Fogarty but not Murphy. Then Lynch gets injured and suddenly Murphy is debuting too. Guess who’s gonna be the first bloke gone when Lynch (or even Walker) comes back?
