Opinion Rate My Team

[BC]

First draft when team picker opened.

I see alot of downgrade options to fit in the 200k+ rookies if they warrant selection.
eg. drop d4 for rookie and bird to wells to free the cash. OR could upgrade libba to Shiel if he doesnt look fit for rnd 1 with that cash.

Eventually evolved to this


This team is very cookie cutter/ low risk(if there is such a thing) bar buddy. Fewer options to free up cash if needed for high end rookies tho.
Goldy to Martin the obvious trade to free cash.
Any thoughts on both teams appreciated.
Cheers

First draft team: Solid defence, rucks and forwards with a powerful midfield. Not sure about Greene's viability and wouldn't have Bird either. Could downgrade Bird and upgrade Greene?

Evolved team:
Again, solid across all lines. Perhaps one premo/mid-pricer short in defence (I like to have 4). Can see the logic of Martin to Goldy but as you stated, cash becomes a problem. Petracca won't play Rd 1 with his broken toe but will be a good downgrade option down the track. Like the Buddy pick, just not sure whether to get him myself. Another way to generate cash would be downgrade Rockliff or Priddis to a Libba/Crouch type or another rookie and use the spare change elsewhere (namely defence). Great effort, mate!

have gone light in my backline.
I'm only expecting 90's ave from my backs. A couple of POD's..
First 5 midfielders are keepers and the others I will have to upgrade,Prestia should do reasonably well with Gazza back and crouch should average anywhere between 95-105 (I'm hoping) if he starts well with a tough draw..
It's great to se that Sandy will be a valuable POD..
But I really think that SIZZLE is going to loose his SHIZZLE

It's late but all I can think when I see your team is PODS EVERYWHERE OMFG.
Brain farts aside - interesting picks with Duryea, McGovern, Rich, Prestia, Sandi, Rioli and Gray. They're all viable options for me, with the exception of McGovern and Rich. Gov's a bit hit and miss at that price and I have a feeling he will be used as a Mr. Fix-It with Mackenzie and Brown back (meaning he will be swung to wherever he is needed). Rich... just never liked him as a SC option tbh but that's just me. Can see the rationale behind Duryea and the rest. Maybe too many potential negative POD's for me but it's good to see a team that is a bit different from the rest.

Thanks for all the feed back have to agree maybe on rich,so I've upgraded him to Bartell.. But with the Governor I think with those players coming back really frees him up to play his more natural game, intercepting marks and maybe snag a few goals her and there..

I think the Gov pick is good - he is a unique player and in general scores will in SC per times he touches the ball. You will be holding your breath for injuries though as it seems like he is made of tissue paper (speaking as a 2015 owner he was my worst trade in of the year!)

 

[anfa18]

I've been toying with my midfield.

Fyfe, Dangerfield, Rockliff, Wines, Liberatore, Crouch, Trengove, rookie (rookie, rookie, rookie). 5 keepers.

or

Dangerfield, Pendlebury, Ablett, Rockliff, Wines, Liberatore, Trengove, rookie (rookie, rookie, rookie). 6 keepers.


Wines - Injuries to his wrist in round 3 (scored 76 and missed almost all of the last quarter) and shoulder in round 18 (scored 21 and only played a few minutes). Remove these scores and he had an average of 106 from 11 games. Possible keeper at M7/8.

Liberatore - In and under gun and appears to have not missed a beat (according to every comment i've seen everywhere). Averaged 106 in 2013 and 110 in 2014, priced at 350k is potentially 200k under-priced. Possible keeper at M7/8 if he can get back to his best form.

Crouch - Priced at about 57ppg looks to be under priced (if he can stay injury free) but also very awkwardly priced at 300k. Averaged 87 in 2013 and 94 in 2014. Has shown he can score well with 10 out of his 25 games scoring 100+. Possibly 50k-100k too expensive to be in consideration.

Trengove - So cheap that he's rookie priced again, even though he has played 4 full seasons in the AFL. Has never really set the world alight in SC terms, (averaged 74-88 between 2010-2013) but priced as a rookie anything between 74-88 is very acceptable.


Maybe starting all 4 of these guys is a bit much, any ideas/thoughts on the above?

I like the unique options, but there are just way too many risky picks in that team.

Mcgovern, Wells, Rioli, Sandi and NicNat are all very injury prone, so I think you should dump 2-3 of them - definitely 1 of the ruckmen, as you've got no back up, probably Rioli who has plenty of potential replacements, and maybe 1 other.

Perhaps downgrade a forward so u can afford a premium in defence , and a super premium in midfield (instead of Libba, Prestia or Crouch).

This is my starting 6 so obviously is the perfect combination.

Add to this he's slimmed down 6-7 kilos I think he will only get better possible AV of 110+ I thinks coming

Hmm might of almost talked myself into him them, but he's so injury prone though

He actually averaged 110 if you take out when he got hit in the face by hartlett accidently and barely played the last qtr

Not sure you can really say this about Wines. Prior to last year he has played 22 and 22 games in his first two years. Last year wasn't good for him, but I think you could argue that he copped a few unlucky impact injuries - I don't think this makes him "injury prone" (yet)

 

[Darkie]

here we go, ready for feedback good and bad!

D - Shaw, Laird, Bartel, Eski, RRRR
M - Danger, Pendles, Ablett, Rocky, Libba, RRRRR
R - Goldy, Blicavs, R
F - Joey, Chopsticks (i heard that on hear and lol'd), Dollhaus, Barlow, RRRR

Exactly $0 left in bank, pending rookie changes.

Thoughts:

1. Eski - heard Rocket Eade interviewed a couple of times and said Eski was in terrible shape last year (injuries and fitness) and looks the goods. I trusted the same info on Swannie last year and he produced so i'm going with the same premise.
2. Laird - can improve so he beats out McVeigh and Simpson. Slight risk but sentiment seems to be that he gets better.
3. Gaz - are you kidding? it's Gaz, avoid him at your peril. saw him the other day and looked fit and ready to roll!!!
4. Shaw - killed me last year and just dominates in the backs. willing to take the risk!
5. Blicavs - interchanges reduced, he's a cardio beast and i think will improve again. Beats out Stef who's said a few times he'll suffer from the changes (although i'm hopeful not and he has good endurance but Blic is cheaper and i think has more potential to improve).

The rest seems pretty cookie cutter. Look forward to comments! Thank you!!

Hi **** - I don't know that you got any feedback on your side, so a few comments from me:

- I understand your rationale on Eski, although Swan is one of the best SC players of all time, while Eski is good about one season in two. He might be a good pick, but I'd say he's a risky one. Personally I prefer Smith around that sort of price range. He's also a similar pick to Laird as I see it, but cheaper.

- I have the same five mids plus JPK, and JPK was last picked of those, so looking good there

- Shaw should be one of the top scorers on his line but I do think you're overpaying. I imagine there's a 110+ mid you might prefer - perhaps JPK or Priddis, who are also typically more durable than Shaw, and quite consistent from year to year.

- Blitz is an interesting pick. If you've read Rowsus' analysis of him, and aren't placing too much weight in his DPP, I'd say that's fine. I'm not a big fan of Martin either given durability concerns.

- I think Montagna is probably the top-priced forward I'd be less inclined to overpay for. Lids is more consistent from year to year. There are some discussions of Montagna getting less mid time this year as well. Your other forwards look pretty good to me.

- Just a word of caution, but I'd try to make sure at least some of your rookies are $150+k, ideally with one of more than $200k. You've spent up on top end talent, so just keep an eye on not spending all of it up-front, or have a downgrade plan to raise cash if/when you want to get a dearer pick in. To me, Malceski, Shaw and Montagna would be obvious options.

Good luck

 

[Misky]

Decided to go almost pure guns n rookies, with a few calculated risks.

DEF: Seeing so many def lines with speculative picks, decided to go 3 premo's who are 1) proven, 2) have averaged more than 90 for several seasons and 3) have big ceilings. Not mucking around here, sure I might be paying overs for Shaw (to be Shaw to be Sure? *insert Irish pun here*). Been reading Simmo has been having a good preseason too, one of his better ones. Hoping at least 3 rookies present themselves during NAB, will just wait and see...

MID: No Libba, chosen the usual 4 with 1 newcomer this year to the top 8 being TMitchell, only time will tell

RUCK: Goldy, too big of a risk not starting him. Mummy, is this the year he can play almost a full season? Reading articles about it, I think he is conscious that he needs to stay on the park to ensure GWS do more. His early ruck opponents are juicy so he could make some big scores. Risk here but willing to take it.

FWD: Standard trio F1, F2, F3, too much upside in Buddy and willing to take him on for the first 1/2 of the season. Wells is a watch but if he's fit and named Rd 1 he's too good to pass up sub 250k.

Rookies mainly placeholders with a decent amount of $$$ leftover for changes. A solid foundation and building blocks ensure a good team for the season, something which I think I have considered. Good luck everyone and bring on NAB cup!

I have tried this set up a few times but, the back line looks one thin to me. Makes me a bit nervous.
I like the Mitchell pick.
Shaw paying overs but the backline is a nightmare.
Wingard, haven't seen him in many teams. where will he play? Very skilful.
Paying some extra bucks for Wells has meant a fair bit of reshuffling.

Side looks the goods, be happy to go with it, aside from my backline reservations.

Hi Anfa - I think option two is better by a distance anyway.

Also, Wines and Libba don't have a history of multiple 1-3 week injuries for the most part, so I think you will generally know what to do with them if they get injured (which I think is advantageous). Crouch is probably in the opposite camp though - check out his games played record over the last four years:

[Lukus193]

Here is my latest draft - cannot wait for the NAB games for some further research.

D - Laird, KK, Bartel, Birchall, Brown, Hartley (Broad, Bonner)
M - Fyfe, Danger, Pendles, JPK, Rockliff, Libba, Gresham, Cuningham (Petracca, Jansen, Phillips)
R - Martin, Tippett (King)
F - Dusty, Barlow, Buddy, Simpkin, Kerridge, Curnow (Grimley, Greenwood)

$26,800 left, which is hopefully enough for some slight rookie adjustments if needed.

Tippett will eventually be F4 once Goldy arrives (sub $600K hopefully).

I'm a little skinny up forward but really confident about Simpkin and Kerridge.

Had Gaz in up until today, but just not sure it is worth the risk at this point.

Like the Swans early draw so happy to roll the dice with Tippett and Buddy.

Good luck all - this site is an amazing resource and it is great to see everyone being so giving of their time and thoughts.

To be fair though you could analyse a lot of players and find ways to exclude certain low games
