Am i the only one with 2 premier rucks??

I think so, depends if you go midprice in mids

 

[Gunf]

When i first started getting into fantasy i really enjoyed listening to the Traders a lot since it helped me get a somewhat decent team but now i am just ... SHUT UP don't talk about my pods you pricks

Gone 5 deep in midfield with only sloane, hatley and Rowell.

 

[adonski]

Who out of Hately and Caldwell actually delivers?

 

[Constantgin]

For me rucks at this point is Grundy or ROB then a cheap one like Preuss cant justify two big money rucks at this point.

 

[11kgm]

Who out of Hately and Caldwell actually delivers?

Depends on role, Caldwell has never been a high scorer even in the NEAFL whereas Hately has

Will be watch Pre-season on both

Grundy and RoB combo looks good on the screen though...

 

[perplexed]

Neither. Take a rookie and upgrade elsewhere. Caldwell is a more likely to make it as a player but Hately will probably score better this year. Say 75 vs 70, if all goes well.

[WaynesWorld19]

Can't believe I'm asking this...but is Tom Scully an option? $443k FWD/MID.

 

[bl4ke]

Daniel Venables among the final five
@WestCoastEagles
out of quarantine and back on the track. Shuey, Waterman, Ah Chee not training but Elliot Yeo is doing sprints and kicking with the main group

By a quirk of the auto-fill option in the Utility position, I currently have 6 ruckman in my side......

 

[TedDougChris]

I'm suspecting it might be about 6 too many, based upon last year.....

 

[JADED]

Especially if Covid outbreaks & hubs return to ruin the fun again (fair chance at some point through winter)
3 trades was nice though.

This 25% "AVG" increase is already a blight on the season.

First - put your players in price order FFS !!!!

There is a few rookie types I don't recognise/know much about (but that's not a real surprise) and you've gone very unique across the mids. Which may not be a bad thing. I also have Rowell at M5, but we only have one player in the M1-4 spots in common. You are a bit dependent on Hawks/GWS playing and scoring well.

Bit pricey on the bench, and I'm playing F Macrae as a forward, not a mid - as typically mid rookies are easier to find... But if cheaper rookies become available, you'll have cash to either hold or upgrade elsewhere. I like the Laird pick, I really want to find a way to get him in.....

Defence is hard to fault assuming the rookies get up - although DGB struggled on a 2km time trial a week back so can see him starting in the 2's to begin with.

Midfield is a good blend of young guns and established players. Kelly always an injury risk but certainly underpriced. I think it's unlikely both Powell and Phillips get named round 1 (more one or the other) but time will tell.

Rucks outstanding

Forwards I like the Marshall selection as a fail safe to Preuss. Greene injury risk but could be underpriced. Phillips seems a no brainer. I'm not overly bullish on many forward rookies to start this year. Cockatoo has never scored well and can't stay on the park, Perkins isn't training with the main group yet and didn't see a huge amount of senior footy last year so think he is more likely to come in later than round 1.

Overall think it's a good side, obviously need to keep tabs on rookies once pre-season etc starts. I like all your premium selections as they all offer value

Picking Taranto twice is an interesting strategy !!!!

ahha what happens when you try doing two things at once!

Interesting. No Whitfield or Lloyd.

Really like the Day pick. I've flagged either him or Greaves (or both to an extent) to see a rise with no Sicily

 

[TedDougChris]

My side, FWIW....

B: Whitfield, McDonald, Williams, McPherson, L Young, Rookie: R, R
M: Neale, Gaff, Taranto, Walsh, Rowell, Phillips, Powell, Rooke: R, R
R: ROB, Big O: R, R
F: Dangerfield, Marshall, Riccardi, Tilthorpe, Macrae, Atu: R, R
Utility: DPP Rookie

Really like that midfield. You've got Neale/Gaff who are safe as houses and rarely get injured. Then you've got the 3 big young guns of the comp who should all improve this year. Like I said above, I'm not sure both Powell and Phillips get named in round 1.

Big O over Preuss, probably the safer choice of the two although more costly

Interesting forward line. I read on the crows board last week that they don't think Thilthorpe starts due to coming back from some soft tissues injuries? Might want to check on that. You see Riccardi stepping up with no Jezza?
