Opinion Rate My Team
- Thread starter Impromptu
- Start date
Team has been relatively stable for a while now so I thought it might be some time to get some feedback pre NAB.
Noticeably no Libba, Malceski at D4 and Mumford at R2.
No Libba basically stems from the fact I think Malceski has a higher chance of becoming D5/6 then Libba does M7/8. Also probably easier to correct a failed 380k defender then a failed 350k mid.
My thinking with Mummy is basically I don't want to start Jacobs with the Crows early draw and with the general consensus being Mummy would be Elite if he could stay fit, he either a) stays fit and I'm laughing, b) pings early and I sideways, or c) plays enough games for Sauce to drop a bit and jump on when his draw opens up. Either way I'll dedicate a trade for my R2 and be done with it.
Taken a few of the higher prices rookies to provide some wiggle room for once we get a look at them. 17.7k leftover.
Gray in there for some nice POD action, expect him to explode early. Quietly hoping Port sit a game or 2 clear on top after the first 8
Simpson, Bartel, Rich, Malceski, Hipwood, Byrne, Brown, Hartley
Pendles, Gaz, Gray, Mitchell, Rockliff, Gresham, Gore, Petracca, Cuningham, Keays, Matheison
Goldy, Mummy, King
Dusty, Barlow, Harvey, Buddy, Cockatoo, Kerridge, Sumner, Kommer
If Selwood comes up round 1 and looks the goods I'll probably slot him in for Mitchell.
Rich is one I have a gut feeling about hopefully with all the Lions mids fit and firing coaches may not put as much time into him. 2nd year back from recon too which helps.
Cheers for any and all feedback lads.

A couple of other comments:
- If Mummy goes down early, I think you might be back where you started and down a trade (ie, the one trade you've mentally allocated may not be enough to get you where you want). Not a major issue, but something to perhaps bear in mind.
- I think Gray is an okay pick, so long as you're not giving too much weighting to his early draw. If he's a keeper I don't think this really matters.
- Your defs look a bit risky to me as well, although I can see you've given this some thought.
- I think you might be giving up 40-odd points a week not having Libba. He should outscore Malceski pretty comfortably, and is cheaper and more durable. I actually don't think you'd need a trade to upgrade him, but even if you did, I think that would be one of your more useful trades. Even if you keep Malceski, I think getting Libba in would be a priority for me if I had your side.
- I agree with your view on Bartel. He's a lock for me.
- If you're not a huge fan of Boomer this year, you could consider Tippett. He's a similar price, and his ability as ruck cover could boost his value to your side by about nine points per round (based on your specific ruck choices - see the X vs Y thread for a more detailed estimate). Personally, I have both at the moment, but Tippett might appeal to you more than Boomer, particularly if you are a bit iffy on him.

Yeah i should have clarified one extra trade for ruck. Not one trade. If I don't go down the Mummy path I'll be taking Lobbe at R2 perfectly valid choice should average 90+ comfortably, won't be a keeper but a decent stepping stone. The Lobbe route actually allows Libba at M6 too it's something I've looked at quite a bit.
I generally try to avoid Multiple premiums from the same team in each line so if I did take Tippet I'd be more inclined to move Buddy on too. The R/F coverage does make a lot of sense though, I've not even looked at Tippet to be fair I'll have a look at him over the next few days and see where I stand on him.

Your midfield looks fantastic fjholden, but it is to the detriment of your forwards and defence. I'd say you have only one proven, reliable premium on each of those lines.
I'd consider downgrading one or two mids and upgrading up front and down back. My suggestion would be to leave Pendles, Gaz, Rocky and Libba, but pick from your other mids. I think you will ultimately want spots for the likes of Fyfe, Danger, Selwood and perhaps Sloane and Beams, so going close to set and forget in your mids may not be all that appealing in retrospect. Only having three mid rookies (plus 1-2 stepping stones) also tends to limit your cash generation.
Separately, I think most people see Dusty as the most solid forward pick, so I wouldn't touch him unless you know something we don't!

You make a lot of sense and I will look at it.
Thanks mate, that's good colour on Lobbe. I was thinking that Mummy plus mid rookie => Libba plus Lobbe might work for you. I think it's around even on cost (Libba option a bit dearer) and average points, but is more likely to save you a trade, and avoid donuts. Admittedly, if you went with Tippett, that might be somewhat less of an issue anyway. The link above might be of interest if you're comparing Buddy and Tippett (albeit that he then wouldn't address your Boomer issue ).

Alright, first post of my team in here for the season but I'll just post the locks (pending round 1 availability) and general structure.
DEF: D1, D2, Bartel, D4, rookie, rookie (rookie, rookie)
MID: Pendles, Ablett, Rocky, M4, Libba, Crouch, rookie, rookie (rookie, rookie)
RUC: Goldy, R2 (King)
FWD: Dusty, F2, Barlow, F4, rookie, rookie (rookie, rookie)
The defenders I'm looking at for my three blank spots are Laird, Simpson, KK, Yeo and Smith. So Bartel could be anywhere from D2 to D4.
Wines will more than likely fill my M4 position. Libba and Crouch will be in my team if both play round 1 as they provide excellent value. I'm expecting Libba to be a keeper at M8/M9 while Crouch will likely be a stepping stone that I'm expecting to average around 100.
Nic Nat will likely be my R2 but also considering S Martin although I don't like that both Goldy and Martin share the same bye.
While they aren't locks I'm leaning towards Dahlhaus and Z Merrett for the blank spots up forward. Not really any other options that jump out at me.
I also have a team with a different ruck setup which includes Lobbe and the addition of Bird up forward but I'm leaning towards set and forget rucks.
Thoughts?

Hey Ben,
Thought I'd share a few thoughts. Posted mine a while ago but nothing as yet so maybe karma will filter back haha.
Anywho...I actually like that structure a lot as it is similar to what I'm looking at running with. The team I put together using Team Picker actually didn't fit into the 2016 salary cap. I assume that was because of a few small price changes with players...which was REALLY annoying.
Starting in DEF: who were you looking at in D4? I originally had Bartel there, but now have B.Smith (which is one I'm not 100% sold on as yet). Were you looking at a player in the Smith mould?
MIDs: I currently have Rocky rocking M4 with one of JPK or Hanners at M3, but have toyed with the idea of pushing Rocky up and bringing in someone slightly cheaper. Who are you options here?
RUCKs: This is where we mainly differ. I've currently gone Martin and Lobbe (also thought of Tippett) as a stepping stone to Goldy due to his high price. Like the NicNat pick though.
FWDs: Same as me here. But currently have Wells at F5 (watching through the NAB Cup)
All in all, looks like you're on the right track. Some of those mid-level picks could be season defining I reckon.
Good luck!

I'll have a look at you team when I get a chance and provide my thoughts, mate.
D4 will likely be Smith, Yeo or Bartel depending on the other three defenders that I end up choosing.
M3/M4 will most likely be Wines. I've also considered Sloane but I'm worried about the no Danger effect. I've considered Selwood but his interrupted pre-season and the fact he is in doubt for round 1 means I have ruled a line through him. Other players under consideration are JPK, Gray, Parker and Shiel.

Ok guys VERSION 1 for 2016:
Comment away
DEF: Boyd, Simpson, Bartel (M), B.Smith (M)*, M.Brown (F), S.Collins (Hartley, K.Collins)
MID: Pendles, Ablett, JPK, Rockliff, Libba, B.Crouch, Lovell, Gore (Jansen, Sumner (F), Hibberd (D))
RUC: S.Martin, Lobbe* (Max King (F))
FWD: D.Martin (M), Dahlhaus (M), Barlow (M), Boomer, Wells (M)*, Petracca (M) (Kommer, McDonald-Tipungwuti (D))
Warchest: 89K
BOLD: Keepers
Underlined: Potential keepers (dependent on NAB form and role)
Italics: Potential keeper IF they kill it
Reasoning:
DEF:
Waiting to hear if McVeigh will line up 100% fit for Round 1. He could easily fit back in there. Gone with 3 solid SC performers (historically) that have generally been quite durable.
*Due to changes from Team Picker to SC2016, have not been able to run Bartel at D4 so have gone for Smith.
MIDS:
I like this line, but keep tossing and turning between JPK and Hanners. Both durable and great scorers. Can anyone convince me either way!?! haha
There is also the option to bring in Fyfe if he's fit Round 1.
I'm picking Libba as a keeper to end the year at (at worst) M8 and *Crouch will be a stepping stone/breakout (or a keeper if he become the new Danger lol)
RUC:
Martin is my locked and loaded R1 and I'm hoping to use Lobbe as a stepping stone to Goldy (hopefully there is a bit of a price drop there). *Lobbe will be watched for NAB form.
FWD:
Don't you just love a forward line with so many DPPs Dusty, Dahlhaus and Barlow are my big 3 with Boomer coming in at D4. All are generally quite durable (Barlow potentially the exception but I see value here). *Wells is the pick I'm going to cop some flack over - his selection is based on how I see him through the NAB Cup. Any sign of struggle and he becomes a rookie. Chosen as a VERY fallen premium.
So if ALL goes REALLY well I could potentially have a maximum of 16 keepers. But being completely glass half empty, I'm going to say 13-14 (based on either Crouch or Smith being that 14th keeper, Wells is the big ? of the 3)
Go to work guys. What would you all change?
Good luck in 2016!

JPK if you want to be safe and go with a proven type, Hanners if you want a POD and inclined to go risk v reward.
Like you mentioned, I would keep a close watch on those underlined players during the course of NAB and make an assessment post NAB matches. One suggestion I have is maybe downgrade Wells to a FWD rookie and using the cash you have to upgrade BCrouch to 500k+ MID type, eg Wines.
Well done on your team to date, I'm sure like many others, it will change many times and hopefully more clearer as we enter round 1.

MID: Like it all here with both picks and structure.
RUC: Like your rucks too. I think Lobbe with S Martin/Nic Nat/Jacobs is a good option with the idea of turning Lobbe into Goldy or the best performing ruck at some stage.
FWD: I like the Dusty, Dahl and Barlow picks but I'm not sold on Boomer. I think he might be rested on occasion and may spend a lot more time up forward due to age which I think will negatively impact his SC scoring.
All in all a good looking side with a great structure.
I've also toyed with the idea of going Goldy and Lobbe to make the upgrade trade a little easier (hopefully).
Boyd is one I've been um-ing about...depending on how McVeigh pulls up that could be an easy swap.
I've currently swapped out Boomer for Greene (on the basis that he's durable and has quite an upside) - would love to hear some thoughts on this one.

I'm not a big fan of the Greene pick. After having a look at the GWS bigfooty board it appears that Greene is barely best 22 and if he is in the team that he may spend a lot of time up forward like he did last year. I actually recall reading an article saying that GWS were happy with the way he performed up forward last year so he would continue in that role again this year.
If he was to play as a pure mid like he did in his first couple of seasons then I would be all over him but the signs are pointing towards that not being the case.
