Teams SC 2015 - My team (During NAB)

[Nick Lewis]

DEF: Shaw, Birchall, Newnes, Ibbo, C Pearce, Maynard, McKenzie, Saad

MID: Pendles, Fyfe, Griffen, B Crouch, Swallow, Steven, Anderson, Heeney, Boekhorst, Vandenberg, Freeman

RUC: Naitanui, Smith, Read

FOR: Gray, Martin, Bennell, Swan, Clarke, Hogan, Lamb, Lambert

Thoughts guys? Should i load more super Premo's into my mids?

 

[hoddo]

Mitch Clarke?? If you're going to have a risk as a forward I'd go Hogan. Clarke hasn't played for God knows how long and has time away from the game.

Absolutely right. Can't believe how many teams he's appearing in. Maybe you have to be a Melbourne supporter to fully understand that this bloke lacks the physical reliability, state of mind and strength of character to be a worthwhile part of any SC team.

DEF: B. Smith, H. Shaw, J. Newnes, K. Kolodjashnij, C. Pearce, S. Edwards (H. Goddard, A. Saad)

MID: G. Ablett jnr, S. Pendlebury, J. Selwood, O. Wines, J. Steven, D. Lang, I. Heeney, B. Boekhorst (N. Freeman, J. Jansen, K. Lambert)

RUC: I. Maric, N. Naitanui (T. Read)

FWD: R. Gray, D. Martin, D. Swan, T. Mitchell, C. Salem, M. Clark (J. Hogan, T. Lamb)

CASH LEFT: $16,300

Alright, so this is where I am currently at. Still have some flexibility cash wise with the likes of Salem still in my team, but happy to keep him there for now. Makes it easier to manoeuvre for the best rookies on the eve of the season.
With some defender rookies seemingly emerging as possible rd1 starters, I will strongly consider downgrading KK to a rookie (Hamling perhaps), and using that cash to upgrade Wines/Steven, and to turn Maric into Goldstein/Jacobs.

Happy for any feedback, ideas, thoughts, criticism, general sledging, trolling or amusing anecdotes

Not much to say really. Pretty strong side.
Taking a risk with no GAJ but you already know that. If you are going to do it, I would make sure that you have a strong midfield group to compensate. Starting 6 potential keepers as you are is a start, but if possible I would try to turn one of Crouch/Swallow into another 'sure thing' 110+ mid.
Smith is a concern in the ruck. Too much uncertainty for me to start him at R2. If Nichols isn't picked Rd 1, maybe it's worth a punt.
FWIW I'm keen to start with Lambert (if picked) as a mid, gives you that DPP flexibility. Will depend on who else is picked Rd 1 of course.

While A Swallow isn't a 'sure thing' for 110+ it is worth pointing out that he did average 111.9 & 109.4 in 2011 & 2012 when he played 22 games both seasons before being injury affected in 2013 & 2014. That and North being a stronger team these days & Swallow having a solid pre-season behind him. At 27 years of age, he's still in his prime, I would back him to average somewhere around 109-114 this year. Massive unders for a 110ppg mid, which he is when fully fit.

It's certainly possible, but if this were my team I would want another uber-premium mid if I was going in without GAJ. It's not that I don't like Swallow, just think either he or Crouch would be the ones to upgrade if taking my advice.
Then again, if you're taking my advice...

I think this is my 3rd team I have posted here, I have decided not to start with Gary Ablett.

This team is a little iffy, but it could pay off. Before I leave supercoach alone until round 1 to concentrate on uni work I wanted to get some ideas or suggestions, I can take any feedback possible, I wont whinge.

Defenders: Newnes Higgins Geary Pearce Whitecross Goddard ( N. Brown Saad ( Pending rookie elevation )

Midfielders: Pendlebury Fyfe Selwood Wines Griffin Steven Heeney Lambert ( De Goey Vandeburg Dumont )

Rucks: Goldstein Naitanui ( Cox )

Forwards: Bartel Martin Swan Lycett Boyd ( Hogan Lamb )

I have taken a risk in the backs as well as in the forwards with Lycett and Boyd.

I only 500 bucks left, which I know is sweet FA.

Or should I just reset and start again?

Your missing a forward.
I think you need at least one premo in the backline.

Solid team. Not much to say. I have same structure and rucks and very similar across the board

I've been pretty set with this structure for quite a while now so I think I am close to something that I am happy with. Only been making minor changes around the fringes, probably a good sign.
Thanks for the reinforcement.
What did you think about my suggestion of going one less mid pricer in defence in order to upgrade rucks and mids?
I like it if there are enough decent def rookies available.

If your on a lap top or PC, search for 'snipping tool', much better & easier way of presenting your team.

 

[Super Hans]

Wells overall average shouldn't be what you're looking at, it should be his average till his bye. If you can turn him into a super-premo by his bye round he wouldn't be the worst pick.

you'll need an 8th forward to begin with.

Boyd you wont keep, make him Salem or Karnezis.

If possible choose the geelong R3 as he has more late games than Cox

Smedts out ASAP

Can I ask why?

i think it really depends on where the best rookies are. i have pearce in my side and think he's a pretty solid pick - not sure about KK. if you think he's value leave him in though. i'd probably be more inclined to bring salem down to a lower priced fwd rook like you suggested and get extra cash from there.

 

[thetradesman]

I have to admit I'm not keen on Brad Crouch (seems to be in a decent number of teams)

What are people planning on him averaging this year? because being 508k you want him to be averaging at least 105. And then it is a rather big increase of 11 points per game.

Notes:
Anyone around 200k and lower will be open to change.
Running the mid-price defender gauntlet.
Thinking of down grading Mitchell to upgrade my fairly weak rucks.

Defender line is extremely poor, Will admit I haven't seen much of Sutcliffe but he played 22 games last year with an average of 70. He is going into his 4th year in the system so it's now or never, Sam Mayes is interesting looked like he was going to be a star and has gone significantly backwards ever since.
Like the Kolodjashnij pick, big candidate for a break out year, Also like the Pearce selection. Will sky rocket back up to about 450k very quickly.

No Ablett is a huge risk in itself, and not having Pendlebury is crazy imo if you don't have Ablett, saying that good midfield apart from that.

Lycett is a very wise pick, will get a lot more game time and is a very talented ruck man, not sure on Grundy though tbh, will play most games but he's a young ruck so very inconsistent.

You have went the Ultimate burn man in Tom Mitchell, high risk high reward there, Same goes with Walters.

Overall not a horrible team but too risky for my liking.

Try and at least upgrade one of your rucks IMO. Forwards are where you'll make that money up from, there are plenty of good rookie options. A few people here reckon Cripps and newton are too expensive too, each to your own though. I would like to have one of them myself if I can find the money, but they are there to downgrade if you're looking for some extra cash

do you have cash left over?

do you have cash left over?

17k

 

[toxic]

17k

I think its ballsy enough to gamble on one line, but gambling on two lines is left field as
