Thanks anfa - it does feel like a bit of déjà vu with Whitecross

Anyone around that price that you think is a lock in their best 22, and should make a moderate amount of cash?

Not around the 200k mark for defence. Personally i would just got for a cookie cutter rookie at 117k-150k.

Whitecross was a very good DT scorer before his injury. Any reason why you think he couldn't do it again if he did get a run of 7-8 games anfa? Do you think the knee means he is done or just that his J/S would be no good?

He's only really had one decent scoring year in 2012. Apart from that his scores have been on par with half decent rookies, so i would save myself the 50k and just get one of them.

Hi Guys , your thoughts on Whitecross may be justified as he won't be the cash cow that you all want him to be as he will on all accounts be in and out of that Hawks team , your thoughts on a better rookie would in my opinion be a better path to go down , would be interesting to see from some Hawk men experts here who may no more than we do.

Not my actual team, just a bit of mucking around, but atm I see the midfield rookie priced players the least likely to play and can't really think of any (Polkinghorne didn't get a game today, Cuningham missed NAB1 and didn't get a touch today, Menegola and Smith went down injured, and all thats left is Gresham/Mathieson) and i am anti-paying 200K for a rookie who hasn't played a game so trailed with a full strength midfield and loaded DEF & FWD with rookies.

DEF: Laird, Bartel, Sheridan, Brown, Hartley, Collins (Tucker, Broad)
MID: Fyfe, Dangerfield, Pendlebury, GAJ, Rockliff, JPK, Liberatore, Crouch (Polkinghorne, Mathieson, Macpherson)
RUC: Goldstein, Gawn (Grimley)
FWD: Martin, Barlow, Wells, Kennedy, Kerridge, Petracca (Howard, AMT)

There are more forward rookies like McCarthy and Cockatoo you could use then put Kennedy etc in the mids.

Agree though where are our rookie mids this year?

 

[Johnsy44]

Decent structure but i think you are missing some security in proven premiums. All of Rich, Shiel, Miles and Merrett have never produced a premium season. You also have 2 players in Liberatore and O'Meara who have been out of the game for a full season, both of whom could fall in the 90-100 average and force 2 extra trades you hadn't planned on.

Downgrade one of Liberatore and O'meara to a rookie, that should give you about 200k in the bank.
Upgrade Rich to a Simpson/Houli type.
Upgrade Shiel to Dangerfield/Priddis/JPK type who are proven premium players.

If you're set on both Liberatore and O'Meara you could always downgrade Miles to a rookie which will give you about 350k. With that you could upgrade Rich, Shiel and Merrett to proven premiums.

I like those in's a lot more than those out's.

I like those in's a lot more than those out's.

thanks for your help, think im pretty much set apart from rookies no idea what ones we should be jumping on

At the moment everyone is just going off NAB form, wait for round 1 teams to be named and then the frenzy will begin to swap rookies.

Having had a look at who's in form and based on feedback from an earlier RMT, I've come up with this line up.

Still can't bring myself to start Goldy and think that maybe I'm spending too much on the backs and not enough on the forwards. Have gone for expensive rookies as place holders but think I might stick with them as all of them, other than Simpkin who I rate, have shown themselves to be better scorers than the rest

B: McVeigh, Rance, Laird, Bartel, B Smith, M Brown (Hartley, K Collins)
M: Fyfe, Pendles, Ablett, Rockliff, Simpkin, Mills, B Kennedy, Kerridge (Gresham, Gore, Jansen)
R: Gawn, Grundy (Cox)
F: Martin, Barlow, Z Merrett, Conca, C Menadue, L McCarthy (Petracca, Tippa)

64 k free. Byes are something like 11, 12, 7

To get:

1 fallen defender (1 up 1 down = 2 trades)
Danger (2.5 trades), JPK (2.5 trades at worst), Jelwood (2.5 trades), Other (2 trades)
Goldy (2 trades)
1 form premium forward (2.5 trades), 2 fallen premiums (4 trades)

Need 20 trades. 2 for corrections leaves 8 for injuries or finding a supersub in the Joel Tippet mould

Like your backline- particularly rance whom isn't in many teams but will build on his great year last year.

Mids decent and Ben Kennedy a good rookie selection. Effectively selected one less mid premium to cover your backline.

Rucks Grundy a concern, would look to upgrade using your 64k

Forwards light on- not sure about conca, menadue and McCarthy starting at all- better selections in cockatoo, wells, Menzel. Alternatively you can move Kerridge and Kennedy forward and stack up on mid rookies to build your dollars.

 

[aj74]

Thanks Macca.

Yeah I'm pretty bullish on Grundy but think that Witts has had him covered over the 2 games of seen them both in. Since my R2 is just a pinch hitter until Goldy gets past his slow start and drops to a more acceptable price, I am probably better off downgrading that position. My view is that Goldy will end up a top 2 or 3 ruck by the end of the year but that he is very poor starting value. If I want to get him in by round 7 or 8, I need to start someone who already has 400k behind him.

Conca has been red-hot in his first two games. He's played 1.5 matches at over a point a minute in both. A possible F6, I'd be happy if ha can get to $450k but that would need a 90 average, when his best to date has been 80. But geez that pre-season form looks good and if I'm upgrading him early on, then a;; I need is a bright opening couple of months.

For me, it comes down to Conca and Simpkin vs Libba and my 15th rookie. Libba might just wind up being a keeper. He's a pretty remarkable player but he'd want to be, coming back from an ACL. While I could just consign him to M8 by the end of the year I wonder if that will have me leaking points. My M1 through 7 should be Fyfe, Pendles, Danger, Ablett, Rockliff, Jelwood, JPK and one other. So will I be finishing with Libba coming back from an ACL or someone like Beams, Priddis, Sloane, Bont or some bolter taking the next step?

Nah... Libba wouldn't be a keeper so I have to see him as a stepping stone and at 360k or so, he's not great value. Conca at 285 isn't exactly wonderful either, but has better form, especially since Libba hasn't got out on the park yet. Doing my head in a bit

Got my fingers crossed on Menadue. He's had a decent impact based on the stats but yeah... JS mightn't be too flash. I thought McCarthy looked pretty good in his game against my boys. I'll be watching him with interest. I'll take another look at Cockatoo. Checking his stats here, he actually scored better than I thought he would have, having watched the game. I might have a bit of confirmation bias going on there because whenever I've watched him he seems to be taking the **** a bit. Got that real casual Mark Waugh thing going on. I can't see myself picking Daniel Wells, even if he does somehow make it to the first round. Menzel (Daniel?) could be a go-er

Thanks for yoiur help. You've given me some stuff to think about

 

[DMCC10]

DEF: Bartel, Yeo, Sheridan, Brown, Hartley, Collins (Broad, Collins)
MID: Fyfe, Dangerfield, Pendlebury, GAJ, Rockliff, JPK, Liberatore, Crouch (Gresham, Mathieson, Macpherson)
RUC: Goldstein, Gawn (Cox)
FWD: Martin, Barlow, Wells, Kennedy, Cockatoo, Kerridge (Petracca, AMT)

 

[jaca]

I'd say you've sacrificed heavily in other lines to pack out that midfield.

 

[Brettthejett]

DEF: Bartel, Yeo, Sheridan, Brown, Hartley, Collins (Broad, Collins)

FWD: Martin, Barlow, Wells, Kennedy, Cockatoo, Kerridge (Petracca, AMT)

Hmmm didn't realise Sheridan was a def might have a look at him tonight

Crouch --> McCarthy (switch Kennedy to your mids) gives you $200K if you felt that was needed but personally I think JPK is a luxury in this team so I'd be going JPK-->McCarthy/forward rookie and then investing in a defence premium.

Crouch could become Mills too if you needed more money.

 

[Shaahorn]

I have been doing a bit of reading and looking at my side today whilst 'working' this afternoon and have my current side as below.

Any thoughts or notes? I haven't watched many NAB minutes and am only working off stats and opinions in here.

 

[Maccas marvels]

Looking for thoughts on my restructured defence. Culled gray down to Ben Kennedy as high priced rookie whom performed really well on the weekend. This allowed me to upgrade brown from wce to Heath shaw. With 4 premiums in defence I think it gives a more balanced feel. Thoughts?
