Teams Team Development (Official Opening)

[Abraham Nuscrack]

I have been toying with McCrae, do you know who had the better preseason? With Dahls leg issues last year, this year might be the first time I get McCrae I reckong.

On afl website rocky was saying Martin was potential captain, if they make Martin Captain I'm grabbing him because he will play EVERY game !!!!

Interesting re Martin. I havent heard much. I may head over to the Lions board for a look.
I've always liked Macrae more than Dahls, so i'll probably end up going with him instead

Can I ask why? *re Macrae!

Nothing been posted bout their pre-seasons so must mean good things, no news is good news right?

As for who, you cant go wrong with either, but i feel like Macrae will have a better year this year. Should play predominately wing/mid this year and avoid any forward stints with the likes of Crameri/Cloke in our forward line now.

Just a thing. I just like the way he goes about it. Probably one player from each team at least that i just rate, a lot of them are POD's. Treloar is another from Collingwood that is in the same boat! Weird, i know!

Nothings weird in this game. Luck, insight and gut feel, they are all powerful things.

Can't go wrong with either Macrae or Dahl, I think you have to take at least 1

both rack em up, and tackle hard
95-105 easy

what about taking both

 

[the_big_sav]

backs: laird williams hibberd murphy keefe ryan stewart rotham

mids: danger kennedy priddis sloane gray dalhouse powell-pepper barrett florent lyons graham

rucks: ryder witts strnadica

fwds: buddy cyril smith (gws) heeney mccluggage bowes mckay (carl) bolton

152k left projected 1839

 

[Unknown Identity]

what about taking both

Everyone will end up with both in their team, it's basically a given.

Whether you start with them both is up to you!

yeah that's true. I've got both atm. but I might take a POD early coz I know both will be all teams as u said

Ryder and Witts as your ruck combo and no back up.
If either go down early for whatever reason, you are in trouble.

Here's a scenario for you.

Ryder get's injured in Round 3, you figure you've got 152K and you trade up to Goldstein or Stef Martin.

Round 5 Witts get's dropped.

What do you do?

 

[Unknown Identity]

Gunston and Greene.

2 players that have low ownership that might set you apart early.
Gunston potential move up the ground and check Greene's finish to last season, maybe some midfield rotation in store for him with Whitfield out.

shoot the hostage?

i did have nankervis instead of buddy and had another premo mid. would that be better?

 

[Unknown Identity]

shoot the hostage?

i did have nankervis instead of buddy at one stage and had an extra premo mid

haha..

If you want to go a cheap ruck pair you need coverage.

Nankervis is a speculative pick also.

You don't want to have to burn a trade and downgrade a premium to upgrade Witts.

If you want Ryder and Witts, the best option at this stage seems to be.

Bonified starting Ruck like Sandilands (IF fit) / Witts

Ryder Forward.

Even that is risky but a hell of alot less riskier than your current lineup.

so ive swapped buddy for goldy and now ryder in fwd line. 78k left 1859 projected

 

[Feerits Elf]

SC Gold projections mean nothing

Nooooothiiiiiiiiinnng

I wouldn't worry too much about projected score.

Round 1 is always low, but guaranteed your team will go 2000+

 

[the_big_sav]

ohh yeh know projected doesn't mean much but its still good to have it fairly high.

im confident in 15 of my starting 22 being 90+ scorers or very close to.

and 78k is pretty decent for when i need to do a mad scramble between 6.30 and 7.50 on opening night haha

 

[stevebbb]

what about taking both

yeah go for it if you can

 

[stevebbb]

Whynotboth.jpg

definitely, i want to, just might need the cash elsewhere, so I'll probably take 1 and then a mid pricer

Roo v Macrae

Roos plays the first 8/11 matches at Etihad does that sway you?

can't comment on that
I haven't taken Roo for the last few years because I thought he was old and done.. not gonna get him now haha

but wouldn't surprised if he averaged 110 rofl

 

[Moustachio]

Easily One of the best teams I've seen. No bad picks, In fact there probably arent even any controversial ones.

gunston is the one that will make or break you. He's a huge pod, and if he starts the year in 100+ form, I think you are going to be right up there with the top 100 or so players.

Seems a bit extreme.
