Anybody with ryder as R2 will likely cop a donut when port adelaide have the bye. Dont forget to factor that in

I am actually really quite happy with this for a first draft! Thoughts?!

i wouldnt have both JJ and Bob in my backline. If you look into JJ's scoring last year, he really only scored well at Etihad and when he impacted the result of the game in the last 5 minutes. I personally, wouldnt trust him to average more than 95 IMO. Bob is capped at 90, which isnt enough for a top 10 defender.

Macrae in mid =
waste of a mid spot on him.

Shallow midfield, with Danger and Fyfe your 2 main men who will go 110+, everyone else is risky (Swallow, Watson, Beams etc)

Sandi without cover is a big no for me, considering he just did a calf. If he plays at least one JLT and is named rd 1, i may start with him, but ive ruled him out thus far.

 

[Stiggly]

Thanks for the analysis!

It is after all a first draft, and there will likely be 400 shuffles by round 1 - i am happy with the overall spread within the budget for the timebeing, and will wait for news and preseason before thinking much harder on it.

Being a doggies man, i have toyed with Tom Boyd, but at this stage id sooner pay an extra $140k for a guaranteed average of 90+

Wonder how Koby Stevens will go at st kilda - he is a definite POD in the $400's and if healthy could easily average 95-100

Also thinking about josh caddy for some reason... much more to research!

cheers!

FYI - Have just gone JJ > Rance, Macrae to FWD, Beams and Miller out, and brought hanneberry and webb to mids. lol.

Webb? the guy who played 3 or 4 games last year? interesting choice to say the least.

i personally would have got rid of Bob and Watson and found cash for 2 mid premos.

one or two of WHE/McCluggage/Ainsworth to Rioli/Eddy/other cheap rook
Cameron to Strnadica

Webb to premo

Hodge is a no for me - dont think he will play more than 16-18 games and he wont average enough to be a top 10 defender

Devon Smith is the other one, he is a left field, but think with Deledio coming in, he wont get the midfield time he wants and will average that 80-85 mark

 

[Stiggly]

Fair call - how about Webb to OMeara, Hoskin Elliot to Eddy, and Bob to ??? ($460k to go)

Already done cameron to Strnadica

that's where i'll be watching roughead closely to maybe downgrade lynch. see how Sandilands is travelling from now till rnd 1.

 

[Yolo Swaggins]

Wouldn't be starting Ryder in the ruck. Likely no cover for ports Bye.

Pretty sure if you started Ryder in the rucks you would of moved him to F4/5/6 and traded in the best ruckman in the land by then, if not your doing it wrong.

Not JOM, won't start until at least Round 4 from all reports

I'd go Ainsworth to Rioli
Bob to KK/Vlastuin
Webb to best available

And work from there

by round 9 eg ryder could make me enough money to bring in goldy, but still short for ruck cover. early days

No, put Ryder in the fwds and get Goldie in the ruck, Ruck Coverage is good.

need to downgrade tom lynch for ryder and put goldy in

 

[Me Myself and I]

Here are a couple of things worth pondering:
-> The Gawn/Goldy Double Whammy Selection in the Rucks:

$1,233,400.

Take a good look at that ^, because that's what you're paying to start Goldy and Gawn together. Gawn went ballistic last year and with the recision of the third-man-up rule, he could sustain those crazy numbers given that he led the HTA %. If you do start both of them, best of luck to you. I am mildly afraid that Gawn will improve on last year and go absolutely huge.

As I said, it might be that I am completely wrong, that Gawn smashes the HTA record, obliviates the competition and then attains apotheosis along with a place next to Odin in Valhalla. But its food for thought.

Look on the bright side. Gawnstein is $12,500 cheaper than last season.

settling around this team at the moment, your thoughts most welcome.

I don't really get the Lloyd selection.
For 30k less you could have M.Murphy in the mids. Who's likely to score more?

Just on JOM, for anyone interested, some media outlets have reported that he isn't travelling that well. However on radio in Melbourne earlier this week, Garry Lyon reported that from what he has heard, JOM is absolutely flying. Unlike Garry to put something out there unless his mail is pretty solid.
Still won't be picking him, but I know which version of the story that I am hoping is true
