love it. Budwar the only risk for me. too many times he's let me down but his upside is big. Love the Rory pick, Shiel could be anything. Nice work!

Thoughts please gentleman?

Yep, I like it.

Defence is good provided there are enough rookie priced players available round 1. I know rookies are just placeholders but Adamson won't play round 1 so you might as well take him out now and replace him with Hartley who from all reports will play round 1. I like all 3 keeper picks.

I like the mid setup and most of the picks but would go with one of Shiel/Sloane and turn the other into Fyfe/Danger with that 156k you have.

Rucks look great. Gawn is a slight risk off the back of one good season but he is a calculated risk and one worth taking imo. He's been absolutely killing it this pre-season and improved his endurance which was his biggest weakness last year.

I like your forwards setup too with Dusty and Barlow locks and Buddy a potential bargain at his price for what his capable of. Obvious risks apply with him. I'm in two minds with Wells, not sure if he'll be a good pick or not. Currently not in my team.

Great team overall mate!

Have you considered pushing the rookies more in the forwards rather than back? That's one very expensive forward bench. I'd be looking to start one or both if I was to spend that much on a rookie. You look to be batting too deep there. If they are worth spending over $170K for then why not start them?

Also with so much spend on expensive rookies and still $156K in the bank makes me think you are one premium or keeper short overall especially since you are not starting Danger and Fyfe. I think your team should look stronger than it does given you haven't spent the big bucks on Danger and Fyfe.

Thanks for your advice!

Re: Adamson/Hartley, will update that now! 

Personally I prefer to try avoid as many of the $600k+ players as possible. Very risk averse supercoach player, and Dangerfield/Fyfe (new club/interrupted pres season/playing forward line) pose more risk at their price this year than Sloane/Shiel for me. I feel Pendlebury and Ablett are the safer pair.

Every year one or two of the higher averaging players will drop off so I like to try find some under-priced/up and coming mid premiums every year. I have put some final year averages/starting prices of some players from 2014 & 2015….

2015
Joel Selwood Starting price: $649,900 Yearly Average: 104.8
Tom Rockliff Starting Price: $709,500 Yearly Average: 101.9
Patrick Dangerfield Starting Price: $567,600 Yearly Average: 119.9
Dan Hannebery Starting Price: $542,900 Yearly Average: 114.5

2014
Dane Swan Starting price: $632,600 Yearly Average: 86.4
Steve Johnson Starting Price: $625,000 Yearly Average: 106.6
Nat Fyfe Starting Price: $574,300 Yearly Average: 122.3
Dayne Beams Starting Price: $497,200 Yearly Average: 115.5

Open to any and all tips and feedback thanks guys,

KK, Docherty, Birchall, T Sherridan, Rookie, Rookie (Rookie, Rookie)
Fyfe, Pendles, JPK, S Mitchell, Rocky, Liber, Rookie, Rookie (Rookie, Rookie, Rookie)
Martin, Tippet (Rookie)
Martin, Dahlhaus, Barlow, Z. Merret, Kerrige, Rookie (Rookie, Rookie)

All tips and advice would be appreciated

Backline Unknown, unique mix that may work but I would suggest at least one proven premium in Simpson,shaw or rance/ Houli.( at the expense of Sheridan)

Mid would get Gazza in at the expense of Mitchell, even if this means downgrading Libba to a rookie like mills.
Otherwise mids with Fyfe, jpk and pendles is strong and jpk a pod.

Ruck move away from Tippett, if you need cash go lobbe who will score better and have your rookie on the bench capable of swapping forward.
Forward line strong and select best rookies in remaining places ( Sam grimley 123k ruck/ forward).

Hope this helps

Great team overall- great backline with rookies still unknown.

Mids need to to swap Sloane for Fyfe or danger. Shiels is a good selection with huge scores last year early.

Great pick with Gawn in the rucks, capable of going 150 and even better link with goldy.

Forwards only query buddy and his consistency, can pick up Barlow for extra 35k.

RE : Adamson.

I've decided to start him on the bench as a floating donut to loophole Gaz for the first 2 rounds.
West Coast play after Gold Coast in the first 2 weeks so (fingers crossed), Adamson is not named.
I can then see who has been the best scoring rookie then swap before the price rise in round 3.
M King can take over from there as Melbourne play before Gold Coast in the first 2 rounds.

Thoughts on this please?
I am very happy with it at this stage (obv will change) 63k left to spend

Mids very strong.

Defence a concern with only 1 premium. Need to upgrade on of williams/ smith to a Simpson, rance/ Houli type.

Rucks would swap Nicholls for lobbe- lobbe 50k cheaper and will score higher than Nicholls by season end.

Forward line too many premiums- several excellent rookies available such as cockatoo, McCarthy, wells or even Menzel who scored 100 last night and is priced at 260k.

By converting your forward line Merrett to a rookie and changing nick Kommer this will allow you to upgrade your defence as well and still keep cash in the bank.

Hope this helps

 

[Maccas marvels]

L

4th attempt at team- after seeing Aish last night he comes into defence as a cash cow allowing me the chance to put Fyfe into the midfield and give me a very strong midfield.

Other thoughts are bringing Menzel (100 points last night) at 260k or cockatoo into the forward line and moving Petracca to the bench.

What are your thoughts?

A few thoughts,

I like your structure and set up, you've got a really nice looking team!

Way too many key position defenders, in Rance, Hartley and Brownx2. Having too many KPP limits your scoring potential you want guys who are going to be running off a flank, wing or playing midfield minutes.

Love your mids !!

Your rucks are great but if your going to spend 1.2 million on them why not have Goldy, he's the best pick of them all and can only benefit from the abolishment of the sub rule and reduced interchange rotations.

And good fwds.

Thanks for the feedback such is Fyfe ( like your name by the way). Agree on feedback about kpp players, will review that for sure.

Will get goldy eventually as an upgrade- actually think mummy will get me off to a flyer early on and then I will upgrade him to goldy who will drop in price by at least 50k. ( that's the plan anyway).

Im looking to get Goldy as an upgrade as well, i also see him dropping 50k but im going to use Lobbe to get me to 500k hopefully then the gap should be less than 150k. Have you thought about Lobbe instead of Mummy and save some cash? and if Mummy goes big will you hold onto to him or bring Goldy?

Thanks about the name hahaha

hey gee gee,

I like your defensive structure with 4 players above 400k and 4 rookies i think that is they way to go and if you're happy with your selections then i'd leave it, but maybe rethink shaw as he is very expensive and you'd be able to get him later for a lot cheaper.

Love the big 5 in the midfield but you havent got LIBBA!! Trade out crouch for him, i see greater upside and less risk if can make it to round 1 uninjured.

Rucks are v. good

Good forwards. Although i dont know how montagna will go this season, i think he wont be able to maintain the 600k price tag and you'd be better of maybe starting with a cheaper option and see how he goes and try picking him up later, as he getting to the end of his career with greater injury risk making him a medium-high risk option. So its better to wait and see how he goes and then decide to pick him up later if you want to.

Appreciate any thoughts and feedback!!

I'm still sorting out my D4, but decided on Smith for now even though Im leaning towards a riskier option in Lonergan or Williams.

Mids I'm happy with, going into round 1 with (in my opinion) the best 5 premo's available thus allowing to sought out the other 2-3 premo's based on performance.

Rucks I'm not so confident. I'm looking to get Goldy between r4-r6 and hopefully he's come down 50k and Lobbe goes up a fair bit so I can make the swap. Chose Nic Nat over Martin as I believe he will play more thoughtout whilst scoring the same if not better than Martin. Grimley is purely cover subject to change.

Forwards Martin and Barlow are locks. I've gone Gray as a POD pick believing he will continue how he finished off last season and taking his game to the next level!!!

Rookies may all be subject to change.

DEF: Looking good, keep the safe option in Smith! Williams and Lonergan are unlikely to average 85+.

MID: Perfect

RUC: Very risky combo with no forward cover. I see you are planning to trade in Goldy, but I can tell you it's unlikely to work out that way. Trading out rookies will must be the priority early.

FOR: 2 premiums + Gray means you've got plenty of upgrading to do, but should be ok given your strong midfield.

My only concern with your team is the rucks. Goldy is not necessarily a must, but Lobbe/NicNat will leave you with heaps of donuts or wasted trades (assuming Grimley isn't playing). Perhaps consider 1 more durable option (eg. Goldy, Martin, Jacobs, Blicavs). Maybe a straight swap for NicNat, or an upgrade from Lobbe by downgrade a mid premo?

Thanks for the help I really appriciate it. I decided on getting rid off Nic Nat straight swap for Lobbe and downgrade Fyfe to Titchell.

I think if you are going to try and bring Goldy in that early, you might as well start with him. Doubly if you think he would have only dropped 50k. There is no point missing out on his scores when he will be averaging around 120 at that stage.

The last 2 seasons Nic Nat has played 20 games and last season only missed 2 games when his mother passed away. He's only actually had 1 season where he's played less than 20 games in the last 6 seasons. He's up there with the most durable keeper rucks, along with Goldy and Jacobs.
