you dont need to pay more than 105k when looking for solid bench options

In 2010 it looks like a good option. Maybe in the midfield, but elsewhere, its very hard to find one, let alone two players below 105k worth picking.

no its not in the foward line and even to a lesser extent the backline my most expensive bench player is 101k. I can think of 4 viable fowards under 101k and in the backline there are proberly another 4 although some of them are not as certain as in the fowerdline

 

[half_back_flank]

you dont need to pay more than 105k when looking for solid bench options there a enough options below that to have a decent bench which will increase in price, the only exeception i would make though is for the backline where rookie options are scarce.

i disagree on waters hunt is a better option but like you say that is just an opinion

I am a collingwood supporter and Beams is not entrenhed in the pies best 22 he will be like last year compeating with several players for the same spot and with the indroduction of ball who is a certin starter and buckley who will add more competion he is far from certin, at the moment sidebottom is proberly ahead of him anyway, but the reality is beams will play reguarly only if someone gets injured, he will most likely drift in and out of the side depending on the oppositiona and his form.

Macevoy and white are both better options than natanui (I predict that both will be simialr to tippet last year and score incosistant but be good enough to be an upgrade) and while they are not the best replacements for him they along with ledenburger the best options without upgrading him.

Beams will play 22 games if he is injury free and he stays in form. He is ahead of Steele by quite a margin and is so far ahead of Buckley it isn't funny (Buckley is a running half back flanker, not a tough midfielder). I'm not sure that Beam's average will rise that much to pick him but he is definitely in our best 22.

 

[Spoony]

TBH, I'm not really following your opinions Spoony. Some of them are just not true.

Beams will play 22 games if he is injury free and he stays in form. He is ahead of Steele by quite a margin and is so far ahead of Buckley it isn't funny (Buckley is a running half back flanker, not a tough midfielder). I'm not sure that Beam's average will rise that much to pick him but he is definitely in our best 22.

have to disagree i think that sidebottom is ahead of beams, and there is still the likes of wellingham to consider he has been building himself up for a number of years and even jaxson barham i think all these players are really compeating for the same spot and selection will depend on what type of player is needed that week, neither will play many games unless someone is injured and while i agree he is ahead of buckly at the moment, i meant in the context of shaw pushing into the midfield and buckly taking his spot leaving less spots in the midfield.

Okay, but will they be named Round 1 and can they hold their spot in the team to make cash? Even if they do, they probably won't average enough to make any decent cash.

proberly but there is enough flexibility to change
yes and i only need them to play 3 games
and yes they will average enough you need to look more closely at the rookie options if you dont think they will average enough, even if they only average say 55 which they should do better than they will still earn me over 100k which wiht my current structure will proberly be all i need to upgrade to premium.

Sorry but 3 games at an average of 55, will not make you anywhere near 100k. Also I'm just going to take a stab that one of your viable backline players is Jackson Trengove from Port. I will be very suprised if he plays Round 2, he should play Round 1, but when Port get their suspended backmen (I've forgotten his name) in Round 2, he will take his spot or that is the strong impression I get from reading the Port Adelaide board.

CuriousObsession has pointed it out, but if you plan on keeping your bench players for 3 weeks, you won't be making a lot of money out of them unless they average around 100, which I think everyone knows, is a less than 5% chance of happening.

 

[Decipher]

Since nobody else has mentioned it. Generally a player takes 5-8 weeks to reach a peak in their price due to the pricing structure. So the rookies you select you will want them to line up for about 75% of the first 8-10 games so you can offload them mid season.

 

[Decipher]

Goddard, Enright, Hodge, Birchall, malcheski, kennelly, Hunt (waters, Davis)

Bartel, Selwood, Cooney, Mastern, Martin, Banner (Shuey, Bastinac)

Sandilands, Kruezer (Warnock, Lobbe)

Riewoldt, Goodes, Pavlich, Franklin, Medhurst, Dangerfield, Rockliff (TDL, Podsiadly)

Thoughts?

Good side.
Major comment would be playing Rockliff on the ground thats a big risk.
Also since Buddys suspended round 1 will Pods or TDL play? Is TDL injured at the moment?

fair point, but it is iralevent as I answerd yes in saying that all my rookies would average enough (therfore making it pointless to have any player over 105k) plus i intend to keep my rookies longer than that and i was suggesting that that would be a worst case senerio and making the point that it wouldnt be that bad, although as i said before there is proberly only going to be one seriously viable rookie in the backline and i dont regard any options around 130k as being anymore viable than the 94k ones (and if you do dont bother replying with it is a pointless argument as we mearly have differnt opinions), but apart from that as I said before there are enough viable options who will play 5-8 games in midfield, fowerd line and even at least 1 in the ruck this year. So i still dont see the point in paying more than 105k for a bench player. plus i already knew that about trengrove and he is not in my team.

Thoughts?

Like this team and have a very similar structure. I have a bit of extra money sitting on the Backs bench as I don't believe any of the rookies will play Round 1 (Jackson Trengrove maybe). Barring injuries, cannot see Phil Davis breaking into the Crows defence, especially with Scott Stevens filling the Andy Otten role so well in pre-season. Would spend the extra $7K for Maguire.

My only other recommendation would be to downgrade Goddard and Goodes, use the extra $$$ to upgrade TDL to a mid/low range starter (eg Ben Warren), and move Rockliff to the bench. Should then have cover for Buddy in Round 1.

A bit more punctuation would make your posts a lot easier to read. If you put the same amount of care into picking your team as you do writing your posts, I'd be very surprised if you manage to crack the top 100,000.

 

[Chadwiko]

Version 3.0

Pretty sure this is going to be close to my final team for round 1. Have tweaked it around, tried to get the best value players I could, and players that should allow me some upgrades, etc.

Any concerns? Have I included any players who are injured or any other such brain farts on my part?

Am I crazy for not having Dean Cox in my team for the first time in about 5 years?

I reckon you've got one too many rookies in your midfield. Downgrade one of your forwards and upgrade one of your midfielders.

Just my two cents.

Northernbomberhero,

Not a bad side although I have a few issues with it:

Your backs, mids and rucks are actually not bad (ball is a good call imo) but it's your fwds which will let you down badly.

Didak is way overpriced, SJ (well there are better options at that price), and you are playing rockliff and hitchcock. Will they get game time? Also don't think Rohan will play for a while.

Maybe try to get Buddy into your fwd line (downgrade SJ) and have a look for a Dangerfield or even Bazza.

What are people's thoughts on my team:

Backs: Enright, Grimes (trying to get Goddard back in but keep changing it around), Hodge, H. Shaw, Kennelly, Ladson, Hunt (Emerg: Maguire, Davis)

Mids: Bartel, Gibbs, Selwood, Armitage, Trengove, Martin (Emerg: Barlow, Banner)

Rucks: Sandilands, Hille (Emerg: Lobbe & Warnock)

Fwds: Riewoldt, Pavlich, Gia, Buddy, Ziebell, Hall, Dangerfield (Emerg: Rockliff, TDL).

What are people's thoughts on this team? I only have $16,000 but want to get Goddard back in the team at the expense of Grimes as he is way too injury prone.

Cheers.

I disagree completely. Two rookie mids is perfectly acceptable this year with the plethora of midfield rookie options.

Oh and Rance and Baker are poor choices IMO.

Great team! Lots of guns, so plenty of captain choices and certainly decent depth too. One of the best I've seen.

Good team. If you are looking to upgrade Grimes to Goddard, consider downgrading Ziebell or Hall to Ballantyne or Mayne.
