Discussion 2024: Rate My Team
- Thread starter THCLT
- Start date
I suppose some of the reasons are:
1 With Taylor Adams out, maybe Fin Macrae in?
2 In the VFL he averaged 26 disposals, 10 contested possessions, six tackles, six score involvements and 102 SuperCoach points in 2023, following on from a 106-point average in 2022.
3 The Pies have continually said that they are happy with his development.
4 Macrae’s only senior performance was as sub in round 24, when he had seven disposals and laid eight tackles for 39 points in 42 minutes against Essendon.
5 Job security is not a certainty, but if named early on he will be hard to resist.

Macrae based on match sims look the least of our problems right now
Mannagh - sounds less likely best 22. Hopefully O'Connor gets there, has a Sam De Koning/Jack Henry vibe about him
Fullarton - injured
Hore/Pink/Coffield - not sure we get all 3, working on two for now, could be one.
Jhye Clarke - radio silence on preseason, think he did have an injury pre xmas but is back out there
Burgoyne - haven't seen in anyone's team, some positive talk
Sam Darcy - was some positive talk, an he make us $100k, needs to lift his PPM
Caddy/Watson - not your $123k rookies, think they play but will suck cash out of team structures
Cadman - crickets
Zach Reid - not in many teams, some +ve talk
Clay Hall - this is the man people choose to fade, 12% of teams.
Sinn - maybe
12 premiums including Flanders relies on a few cheap rookies, if they dont come, back to 11 and a bunch of 200-300k mid pricers.

Darcy Wilson - 130K fwd/mid, Ross loves him & stated he expects him to play a lot this year - excellent runner/ great endurance
Jeremy Sharp - 123K, another very good runner/ impressing at Freo. Real chance of taking the wing spot vacated by Henry
Kane McAuliffe - 117K, big bodied mid impressing at tigers training - big watch over pre season games.

Have read he has been impressive in the match sims Richmond have had so far, winning his own ball at clearances/making the transition to AFL level very well so far.
Bit more info about him from the draft :-
Kane McAuliffe
State: South Australia
State League Club: North Adelaide
Community Club: Central Augusta
Date of Birth: 01/03/05
Height: 187cm
A powerful midfielder who wins his own ball and is a penetrating left-foot kick. Is a strong and aggressive tackler as well as being an accomplished extractor of the ball from stoppages using his clean hands and vision to set up the play. Progressed from dominating under-18 games at club level to playing seven matches at reserves level averaging 18.7 disposals. Featured among South Australia’s best in the National Championship matches against the Allies and Victoria Metro and averaged 18 disposals, 3.8 clearances and 8.5 tackles across the tournament. Showcased his power and speed at the national Draft Combine with his running vertical jump of 95cm ranking third and 2.93 seconds for the 20m spring ranking fifth.
Weapon: Power and left-foot kick
Player Comparison: Jack Crisp (Collingwood)

Yeh fair point. Actually had Serong in until this week for Green. Might end up going back there. Like most people, I'm watching Jack Steele in the preseason too. They are the likely changes if I feel the need.
Yeh - understand why. But at his price, if he lines up in mid during preseason etc. I think it's worth the risk. Still an easy drop down to Jordan/ Lynch/ Mackenzie if needed. Quite a lot of options (although most a risk) at that price range. But that's the risk-reward area. I think with 40 trades there's a chance to role with more of these options - especially up forward and be trigger happy early on. Especially if I go safer on premos that have good bye rounds as well that won't have me scrambling with sideways at all.
Essendon mate got in my head about him. Think I'll be keeping an eye on ex-essendon d'ambrosio if he gets a gig in Hawks 22. And otherwise will try to find a way up to Chapman if he seems to be locking down that HB/Wing role that seems to be between about 4 players at Freo
