Rate My Team (Part II)

[douls]

anyone thought about dropping Swan due to the fact that Krakeour will eat 10-15 ppg?? anyway I thought Id have a whack at a team here:-

how did you arrive at this conclusion?

 

[Hot Tiges]

how did you arrive at this conclusion?

Yeah strange one. I was thinking more Pendles then Kraks..

 

[ozzyoslo]

Actually, it is a fair point when you consider Everyones prices are based on last years rules........now that there is the new sub rule most mids prices #should in theory" drop due to less rotations and or having a spell in the forward pocket for example....... maybe no clue thinks that with kraks in the guts this may also mean less points for Swan.

I also read that people were unsure about Selwoods points would be now that ablett has gone but Ive read that its has had a positive reaction to selwoods ppg when gazza was injured.......so that could be a mirror image so to speak with Kraks/Swan theory.

 

[AvNoClue]

its only a thought typed out on digital paper people..........what about my side please??

Hot Tiges;20346774]

Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, Grimes, Otten, Heppell (Toy, Duigan, Populopo)

Swan, Selwood, Cross, D Swallow, Polec, Harris (Mzungu, Hibberd, Atley)

Sandilands, Cox (Smith, Dericx)

Chapman, N Riewoldt, Green, Rioli, Yarran, Krakouer, Richardson (Prestia Matera, Smith)

You're backline is the same as mine, looks pretty standard with a lot of teams really, I'm not locking in my bench as yet, as I'd like to see a bit more of the GC's backline.

Mid is strong, though I'm not sure about Polec, he didn't seem to be performing too well during the pre-season, Contin looks good, though you might know more about his chances of getting a game, being a Tiges. Cross is nice, perhaps a unique with most people going for Boyd, though age a concern?

Rucks, looks the standard to many teams as well, as long as Smith is getting the games to cover your byes, but I'm sure that he will be.

Fwds, not sold on Chappy, injury is a question, though he looks the best out of other FWD premiums, and he is Chappy after all. I'm lost on FWD's myself (see later), also Yarran for me, a lot of talk going on about him, though not seeing the play/scores to prove it, could go a risk (Higgins or Danger) instead. Though I can see that maybe it's Yarran's time to come up more, and he is more durable than Higgs and Dangers... I like Green, could be good, captaincy could give him a lift to get more consistent.

For me: Going with a straight backline that I've seen plenty of others set up with.

BCKS: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, Grimes, Otten, Duigan (Toy, Smith, Populopo) Will wait to see who plays Rnd 1 however.

MIDS: Swan, Judd, Selwood, Crameri, Swallow D, Heppell, (Bennell, Iles, Harris) I know, Donut first round...but it's first round and I see more benefits later.

Rucks: Sandilands, Cox (Jolly, Smith) Lock and forget, a bit of money sitting there, ..sigh, but just want it done with.

FWDS: Riewodlt N, Rioli, Higgins S, Dangerfield, Krakouer, Mzungu, Richardson C. (Prestia, Matera, Dixon)

Maybe a max of 10 premiums I got to get in, maybe less with the GC midfield...barring injuries.

Got a lot of GCs, but no other rookies are really standing up for me, with lack of job security, temper (Darling) and already having rooks from same team (JS again). GC just looks like good value and a risk I'm willing to take since if I pick wisely will be playing from Rnd 2 and have a bench that's full of Jerseys.

Risk factor.....huge.

 

[ozzyoslo]

its only a thought typed out on digital paper people..........what about my side please??

Side's ok Myers?? I think you can do better........forwards are your weak area but loads of people do this....Any cash left over.......quick calculation what 200k I'm tipping.......you keeping for a rainy day??

I understand you GC theory but why have a Donut straight away when you can replace your least favorite GC rookie mid for a rookie named to play 1st round??

Smith rookie ruckman I had him in my side but why is he not played yet instead of the other two younger ruckman??

Forwards:- again 1 too many gc rookies but I understand your theory in which you wish to use a trade on.

 

[LiverpoolRed]

Has anyone got the intention of doing something like this...? Instead of taking Swallow straight up (bye round 1) pick up someone like Polec who has a bye in round 4. Come round 3 Polec has made you 40-50k with an avg of around 70 whilst Swallow is still frozen at 188k and you also get a look in at his form. Trade of Polec for Swallow and you will get another price rise after round 4. You are also avoiding a donut, and with 4 extra trades and 3 extra subs trades are not as valuable as they once were. Happy Days

Anyway its just an example of how you should play the game this season, thinking outside the box, things have changed its a whole new ball game.

Cant see the point in having Jolly on the bench when he is only going to see a few games for your team. May as well go with someone like petrie or Hale, at least that way you can save 150k and still have a reliable back up. Use the extra cash to upgrade one of your other players to a premium. I know your happy to go into the 1st round with a donut, but i wouldn't recommend it given the availabilty of gun rookie mids. And having all GC rookies is not going to benefit you that much because at no point will you be using all three at the same time, they are bench players there for cover and to make money. There are plenty of other rookies that will fill that role, some better than those you have selected. If you get one non GC rookie, your team will not suffer, I promise you.

thanks for the reply. yeah swapped Cross for Judd. Cross's age at 27 is still in prime form. could upgrade him later. Monitoring Chappy. Would love to have him. Hopefully only minor/precautionary. Like Chappy needs to play pre season games lol and byes will help him. Contin or Conca could do well but I just think Polec could be the job security with the Bears struggling this year and looking for a bit of pace and precision in the midfield. I think he'll play most games to make cash. Watched Yarran off the backline against Collingwood and seeing him being named in the best was a good indication that he is playing very well and must be considered. Green is a solid choice not a spectaular one but can get biggish scores and is something different.

Now onto yours. Like how you copied mine lol. Still not 100% on Broughton and Gibbs. Durablilty a concern for Broughts and Gibbs has been quiet during the pre-season. Midfield is interesting. Crameri? a bit left field isn't it? Not sure about the doughnut later but those GC rookies will all play. Rucks.. Jolly to cover the byes?? geesh thats alot of cash on the bench. That cash could be used to upgrade Crameri or whatever. Fwds, risk central here. I shudder to see Danger/Higgins combo. Has disaster written all over it. Your either a genius or fool lol. Bit of a tail with only 1 fwd premo, but like mentioned before, the fwd premos are hardly firing. Good team with a couple of uniques but some interesting fwd line selections..

Good idea, just think Polec will make alot more then 40k-50k. Quiet confident that my bench rookies can cover Swallow and Harris's round 1 bye.

 

[eastcoasteth]

What improvements can be made here?? Any big mistakes I've made????
All my rookies are 100k's but still feel like I might be lacking some depth on field, backline seems ok but not sure about the mid and front?

Only about 4k left in the bank.

Pretty weak team IMO. How mcuh Salary have you got left?

Backline is strongish, but Midfield looks terrible on paper.

 

[Super Gusto]

My team.

BACKS: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, Grimes, Otten, Puopolo (Toy, Hibberd, Duigan)
MIDS: Judd, Selwood, Pendlebury, Burgoyne, Heppel, Mzungu (Harris, Wallis, Savage)
RUCKS: Sandilands, Cox (Bailey, Derickx)
FORWARDS: Riewoldt, Franklin, O'Keefe, Higgins, Yarran, Krakouer, Richardson (Matera, McKernan, Darling)

Thoughts?

Nice one. Up there with the best teams I have see.

Maybe Rioli istead of Okeefe - but then you'd probably have more of an idea than I would.

You would be mad to do that. Dont waste trades like that. Simply create a team that covers all your GC players. If you are going to trade out players for 50K you wont get too far in this game

 

[Main Man]

anyone thought about dropping Swan due to the fact that Krakeour will eat 10-15 ppg?? anyway I thought Id have a whack at a team here:-

goddard, gibbs, bruce
delidio,grimes,myers, otten RES Toy,Duigan, Poupolo


Selwood,Pendlebury,Jack
Krakouer,Polec,Heppell RES Swallow,Harris,Hibbert


Sandilands, Cox RES Petrie,Vardy


N.Reiwoldt, Sylvia, Varcoe
Davis,Yarran,Richardson, Smith RES Prestia,Mzunga.Matera

Backline is solid, sack Myers for another rookie as he butchers the ball, 300k is way too much!! Mids are ok, would look at upgrading Jack to another genuine premium. Rucks are perfect, the only other player I would consider this year is Ryder but even then I think he is better suited to dreamteam. Don't like your forwards at all, need at least one more premium, Franklin, Rioli would be good options.

My team:

BACKS:Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, Grimes, Heppell, Toy (Duigan, Puopolo, Batchelor)
MIDS:Swan. Selwood, Murphy, Anthony, D.Swallow, Mzungu (Harris, Hibberd, Wallis)
RUCKS:Sandilands, Cox (Z.Smith, Mcauley)
FWDS:Riewoldt, Franklin, Rioli, Sylvia, Higgins, Krakouer, Richardson (Matera, Mckernan, Darling)

Thoughts?

Everyone is getting Otten, but I'm not sold. If he's scoring like a keeper I will jump on in week 3, otherwise I'm going with a rookies.

Don't get Goodes in the middle.

Gaff is not worth it for me, I don't think he will play enough games or score high enough.

Brown? No.

Also I'm on record a number of times as thinking that Krakouer isn't worth the spot.

Here's my team, changed a bit. 260k left over.

B: Goddard, Gibbs, Johncock, Deledio, Broughton, Grimes, Hunt (Toy, Hibberd, Puopolo)
C: A. Swallow, Pendlebury, Bartel, D. Swallow, Heppell, Polec (Atley, Liberatore, Irons)
R: Cox, Ryder (Smith, Derickx)
F: Riewoldt, Didak, Jetta, Rioli, Goodes, Mzungu, Richardson (Tapscott, Matera, Darling)

 

[Yancankick]

Any thoughts on my team, I'm worried about rucks and mids mainly, is daniel Kerr going to play at all early??

Backs
Goddard, Lake, Gibbs, Grimes, Drummond, Otten, Heppel,
Hibberd, McKernan, McGovern

Mids
Ablett, Murphy, Burgoyne, Cooney, D. Swallow, Kerr,
Gaff, Mzungu, Wallis

Rucks
Cox, Frazer, Campbell, Curnow

Forwards
Chappy, Rioli, Goods, Sylvia, Petrie, Krakuer, higgins
Darling, Schnieder, Callinan??

 

[marky53]

stay away from lake and look to get him in as an upgrade
dont think mcgovern is a good choice, try toy, duigan, puopolo.

too many risks in the mid especially cooney, and kerr. Will wallis play from round 1?

fraser is terrible r2. and you need sandi in there.

too many risks in the fwd too with sylvia, petrie, krak, higgins and callinan in out for 12 weeks.

sorry mate but you've got heaps of work to do

 

[Dooky]

Team is set to change a million times between now and March 24, but nevertheless what do you guys think of the current combination:

DEF: Goddard, Gibbs, Grimes, Bob Murphy, Otten, Hibberd, Pederson (Magin, Puopolo, Duigan)

MID: Swan, Judd, Harvey, Dan Hannebery, Jobe Watson, D Swallow (Harris, Prestia, Heppel)

RUCKS: Cox, Warnock (Moran, Cordy)

FWD: Riedwoldt, Franklin, Pavlich, Higgins, Dangerfield, Yarran, Krakouer (Mzungu, Isaac Smith, Jed Lamb)

Obviously afew speculative decisions there.

Thoughts please guys!?!?!

Thoughts please guys!?!?!

Bob Murphy will probably be a popular pick, as he is a good AFL player, but I don't think that transfers into SC. Magin is on the GCs rookie list, won't get games unless there is an injury to a similar player to himself. Tarrant will get a game ahead of Pederson easily at North.

Jobe Watson would be a keep away from imo, I know people have their own theories on how to approach this season, but he is out for rnd 24, the last round in which you would have other outs. Get Boyd/Pendlebury for an extra $15k or a bit less in Boyds case.
Wouldn't be getting Hannebery either, awkwardly priced and is almost a guarantee not to be a 110+ mid, which is what you want.

I like the Sandi/Cox and Sandi/Jolly options the best, so if you can, try to get them in your team. Also, with byes, make sure you have reliable cover in your rucks.

Pretty good forward line, except for Dangerfield imo.

If I were you, I would change Harvey into Bartel which would cost you 9k, Watson for Boyd saving 3k, downgrade Dangerfield to a rookie saving you 230k, giving you the money to upgrade Warnock to Cox, and still have 95k odd left over (assuming you had spent all your money already, and remembering you were 5k down from the above)

Downgrade Hannebery to Polec giving you 330k, giving you money to upgrade Murphy to Deledio in the back line, and still left over with 180k.

Use that to find a mid priced replacement for Pederson who you think could score well, or even use it to move Yarran-Harvey in your forwards if you want Harvey badly.

Imo, that's a decent amount of help, and I did think it through for a while, but if I did suggest something a bit stupid, could someone mention it please? Would help me as well.

 

[liam_13]

Just thinking, would it be crazy to start with a team heavy with players from 1 team? (e.g. Geel: Enright, Mackie, Selwood, Bartel, Chapman).

Instead of have small sufferings in every round, you could suffer badly in 2 rounds, and be alright for the rest. Lose out to most in 2 rounds, but gain that back easily in the next weeks. Would require some planning though to get it so you are able to make your team in a way that it works.

Not sure on the speculative points loss/gain, but just wondering if it is really that dumb?
