I made a big mistake in Picking Hodge as a defender

Penny for your thoughts...

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

Quite the opposite actually. Byes only field 18 players and should be able to cover it easy in other areas considering there's only 2 teams with the bye that round.

Edit - unless round 9 is different to the other bye rounds this year considering only 2 teams? wouldn't make sense though...

Yep round 9 is best 22

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

Thanks, you always seem to get conflicting reports about certain players at this time of year.

Still wouldn't touch JOM with a 10 foot pole

Hey there sexy, how you been?

draft no. 348. Players aren't set in stone but structure will stay the same.

Really nice team. Hopefully three back rookies appear. But looks like a strong, well balanced team imo.

Yep, youd hate to have a guy in your defence who has only just averaged under 90 twice in the past 10 years !

Look at how many games he has missed in recent seasons.

Look at how many games he has missed in recent seasons.

Besides last year where he had an impact injury in round 1 (broken hand) prior to that he had missed 10 games in 3 seasons. Not that bad if you ask me. Atm looks like he is in the best shape he has been in years. Will also see more mid rotarions with Senior players like Sam mitchell and Lewis missing

Well, I *think* I'm finally content with my team. Always wanted to go hard in the MID given the overpriced backs and uncertainty around forwards.
Justification:

Defenders:
-Rance: As a Richmond supporter, hard not to pick this bloke. Consistent and durable, has averaged 97 and 98.5 over 22 and 20 games respectively over last couple of years. I don't see Richmond improving all that much (unfortunately), so will see the ball down there a lot and Rance should clean up. I live about 2 minutes from the MCG so drive past punt road quite often. Have seen Rance running laps the past 2 Saturday mornings (only player out there). He is also looking absolutely huge. Predicted average: 99.00
-Adams: IF he remains injury-free, will be the highest scoring DEF IMO. Adams will play in the guts and will rack up the possessions. His injury history is well know, but has averaged 98 and 97 in past 2 seasons. Apparently been injury free this PS. Predicted average: 105.00
-Laird: Had him the past 2 seasons where he averaged 94 and 97. Very consistent player, hopefully doesn't miss what seems to be 10 weeks with a sore toe this year. Training with the mids, hopefully sees him rotating off the wing. Can see him averaging 100+ if all goes well this year. Predicted average: 101.00
-Rookies: Keefe apparently set to play FWD and RUC which will see his points go up, Newman is my roommates cousin who he won't stop talking about (also killed it in the NEAFL), Ryan is a mature aged recruit who should slot straight into FREO's backline, Vickers-Willis and Stewart have been earmarked to play early.
Strategy: Docherty, Simpson and Shaw are high on the radar for final 3 positions. All 3 are currently overpriced and will drop in $$$. Hopefully can pick up 2 of the 3 before their byes at 500k.

Midfielders:
-Dangerfield: 162, 166, 137, 132, 132, 229,, 173, 135, 140, 144, 131, 155, 146... plus 7 games between 100-130. Can you really not start with him? Genuine captain option who will score 200 if you don't have him. Predicted average: 132.00
-Pendlebury: Mr consistency. 56.8, 88.6, 103.5, 106.4, 110.5, 129.2, 124.7, 126.6, 124.4, 116.2, 118.7... that's Pendlebury's averages over his career. Also very durable. Not much else to be said. Predicted average: 119.00
-Kennedy: Similarly to Pendlebury and Danger, has been very consistently good over last few seasons with averages of 120.2, 105.4, 113.9, 110.2, 113.4... think he will score even higher with the Swannies captaincy. Huge mancrush on this bloke. Predicted average: 115.50
-Treloar: My 2nd picked. Should be a nice POD outside you guys on BF Averaged 111.3 last year with an interrupted preseason. Hasn't put a foot wrong this PS and set to explode. Pencil this guy in to become the next uber-premium this year. Love his run and carry. Predicted average: 114.50
-Fyfe: Is there a bigger bargain this year? Don't see how people are not starting with him (last time I checked SC gold coach picker he was only in 55% of teams - he should be in 100%). Averaged 122.3 and 124.3 in 2014 and 2015 (including scores of 158, 171, 156, 162, 158, 151.... plus a heap of 120, 130+). Is also flying this PS. Predicted average: 122.50
-T. Mitchell: well documented that Hodge gave this kid a massive wrap, labelling him as the most competitive guy he's ever trained with. The Hawks midfield is there to make his own. Unlike his time at SYD where he was constantly rotated through the MID/FWD line and occasionally played as a tagger, I think he will have a lot more time in the MID this year. Pencil him in to have the most possessions in the comp this year - question is will this translate to SC points? Well it did for Neale, and I think it will for Mitchell. Predicted average: 110.50
-Swallow: People may have forgotten how good this kid is. Averaged 103.2 in 2014 when he played all 22 games. Like many others in my team, apparently hasn't put a foot wrong this PS and seems to be injury-free. Think he will play a lot of midfield time, especially with Gaj moving forward a lot more. Can see him being the Wells of this year and reaching 480-500k at some stage. Predicted average: 95.00
-Rookies: Myers averaged 85 few seasons ago and will play, SPP and Graham are both manchilds who will play early purely because they're the right size already and Freeman hopefully will finally get a run.
-Strategy: Target Hannebury and Rockliff for final two positions. Will pick both up after bye rounds.

Rucks:
-Gawn: no 3rd-man up rule will hopefully see Gawn break the trend and be the first ruck in a while to be the highest scoring 2 seasons in a row. Will have huge games where he scores 130, 140, 150... Absolute beast and I like his beard. Predicted average: 118.00
-Ryder: best R/F available. I always like to have a R/F at F7 for coverage, particularly in finals when you have very limited (or no) trades. May even go big some games and could be a handy FWD loophole at F7. Last 5 seasons averaged 90.9, 105.5, 90.2, 101.1, 85.4... does this mean trend suggest he is in line for another 100+ average. Probably not, but 90-95 would be decent in the forward line this year. Predicted average: 93.50
-Rookies: Strnadica - R/F eligible, cheapest you can get, and might actually play with all FREO's rucks injured and finally (and most importantly), plays a lot of Sunday games - perfect loophole.
-Strategy: Trade in what looks to be the best performing ruck before PA's bye in R9. Swing P. Ryder into the fwd line. Thinking it will be Godstein at this stage.

Forwards:
-Dahlhaus: Will be the highest scoring forward. Averaged 104.5 in 2015 and 95.7 in 2016 (however was averaging 104.7 before his injury). Is the only automatic selection in the FWD line IMO. Will play mid again where he has a knack to just rack up possessions. Predicted average: 103.50
-Macrae: Don't know why this kid is FWD eligible, but will take it. Plays a lot of midfield, and will continue to in 2017. Averaged 100.1, 99.9 and 94.1 over last 3 seasons. Nothing to suggest he will average less than this. Predicted average: 98.50
-Roughead: Is there a better story in AFL? Putting Roughy in for 2 reasons: 1) he is an absolute legend and 2) history suggests he could be a top 6 FWD. In the last 5 seasons he averaged: 101.5, 103.7, 98.5, 95.8, 96.4.. Some have mentioned he did his PCL before the news of cancer hit, but if he is lining up R1, he is in my team. Predicted average: 96.50
-Rookies: Mclugage should have gone #1 and will play early and often in BL's midfield, Bolton I'm a huge fan of as a Tigs supporter and think he will play early alongside Rioli, Eddy, Ridley and Rioli all doing well in PS and should be picked early.
-Strategy: no idea who will fill my final 3 positions, but at this stage thinking Caddy, Heeney (if he is flying) and Riewoldt. Hoping to get 1 or 2 in before the byes.

After wasting many trades on premos who became injured for 4 or so rounds this year, I'm aiming for durability this year with some exceptions (Adams, Laird, and Fyfe). Have 25k left over to upgrade some rookies if need be.

 

[PoopingHindi]

here's my first go.
all players valued at $123,900 are placeholders...i've got no friggin idea about rookies right now and i'll only start to care a few days before the season starts.

How many plays from the same team is to much. Example I got Bont, dal and jack

3 is fine, i would say 4 or more is too many.

Thanks. I took out lynch for roughy his price is to hard to pass up. Trying to find a way to get Ryder as a fwd. martin is very tempting considering the 3rd man up is banned

Only worry if you have 3 players have teams that share the same bye, for example, KK, Ablett, Touk, Pittard, Gray, Ryder

 

[jc12]

version 12313213 , guns and rookies except swallow, forward rookies are a watch till i see who will actually play
thoughts?
