Opinion Rate My Team

[BC]

I am getting very close to liking my overall team. I have left myself open to not being able to afford expensive rookies. May have to rework my team to enable a Mills/Hopper player. only about $15k in bank

What do you know about libba we don't no?

I reckon you are batting too deep in your forwards. Consider Wells/Kennedy/Menadue/Cockatoo ... ? You will need more cash I expect.

 

[Rizzle7]

Cannot decide on many many factors, ie Kennedy, wells, menadue, the big 4 in the mids, shaw or no shaw etc.

Anyway here it is, let me know thoughts

DEF: Rance, Laird, Simpson, Bartel, Brown, Hartley (Collins, Broad)
MIDS: Fyfe, Danger, Pendles, Ablett, Rockliff, Libba, B.Kennedy, Gore (Mathieson, Petracca, MacPherson)
RUCKS: Goldy, Gawn (Wyatt)
FORWARDS: Martin, Barlow, Wells, Cockatoo, Menadue, Kerridge (Grimley, ATM)

This is just a joke team based on a comment of starting 5 rookie priced forwards.



It doesn't actually look half bad and obviously could be altered quite a bit to get one or two more higher priced rookies.

 

[The Underdogs]

Altered my team like crazy the last few weeks and currently am rocking this:
D: Docherty, Birchall, Smith, Aish, Brown, Broad (Byrne-Jones, Collins)
M: Ablett, Priddis, Sloane, Rockliff, Parker, Liberatore, Mills, Macaffer (Gore, Mathieson, Petracca)
R: Mumford, Gawn (Cox)
F: Martin, Barlow, Lynch (goldy), Franklin, Wells, Kerridge (Grimley, Hunt)

Thoughts are greatly appreciated

It's not that I'm trying to keep them out I just don't see them as being a genuine good pick.
Wells will get injured you can almost bet on that and I'd prefer to
Start caff over Libba due to using the 200k left to have a extra prem in my side.
If caff can AV 70ish he will prob make as much or more than Libba who most
Will fall into a trap with him at m8 and loose 15 ppg

I don't see a trap with Libba personally. He either is upgraded or held depending on his ppg. His last 2 full seasons were 107 and 110 yet he only costs $357K. Anyway, this is not to convince you on him.

An option for your side instead of Libba and Wells is KK-->Weitering and then buy yourself better mid rookies.

With Caff his highest ever average is 59.6. That's terrible for a $174K investment. Then you've got a $117K mid rookie at M8 which may work out but again with if others have spent a bit more on Parish/Mills types who go at 80-85 then I think eventually they skip past your extra starting premium because you have missed out on cash generation from the position where most of our rookie cash generation comes from.

That said, we do need to see whether Duggan/Mills/Anderson/Parish/Kennedy types are must haves.

I like your forward rookies though.

Gotta say that I'm with Hondo on The Caff. Much as it's great to see the guy back up and running, he just hasn't shown the sort of scoring potential over his career to justify a 175k starting price.

On the bright side, he probably won't be our tagger/run with player. That will go to Greenwood or Crisp who nullify an opponent almost as well but can pick up 20 possies going the other way. It leaves him as 3rd tall forward or HFF, for which I think we have better options, especially once Howe and Elliott get fit.

Our forwards should be something like

Howe, Cloke, Swan
Fasolo, Moore, Resting ruck

Rotating through: Pendles, Treloar, Sidebottom, Elliott, Varcoe, DeGoey, Broomhead. All of those guys can play HFF and probably better than Caff.

Greenwood and Adams would probably rotate through the bench rather than the forward line due to accuracy issues. Aish would rotate through the backline. Could see Pendles drifting back for his rests too perhaps..

Coach loves the Caff and all (as do I) but I really gotta wonder where he will get his minutes from.

While I like the balance and structure of this side Underdogs, my major concern would possibly be a lack of potential absolute top end premiums.
To start without any of Shaw, McVeigh(although unlikely starter) Danger, Fyfe, Pendles, Goldy, Martin, Deledio, will either turn out to be absolute genius, or you'll be faced with an awful lot of upgrading/potential sideways trading to keep up with the pack.
Don't usually like to comment to much about peoples individual selections (but i noticed you were a fellow saints man) so I'll say anyone running with a ruck duo of Mummy/Gawn, that's ballsy! Once again either complete genius, or this is going to end in tears.Sadly something us sainters are all to familiar with.

 

[Brettthejett]

It seems like you are trying too hard to keep Libba and Wells out of your team making things a bit harder than they need to be on the rookie front. is Macaffer really an option?

KK is expendable for mine if you feel cash strapped.

So something more like this Hondo????

Hahaha I can definitely agree us Saints fans have gone through our fair share of heartache! I see where you're coming from, but I guess you gotta take a risk sometimes haha

I like it mate. A few risks in there but it's a solid structure.
Good to see Libba at F6. I've been working on that same strategy.
Hoping for 14 keepers in your squad with quality rookies in there also.
While you've gone to D3 and F3 with keepers, I'm thinking of going to D4 and F2 with keepers, trying to take advantage of some of the bargains up forward. The other reason being, I've got no idea which rookie defenders to work with.

My latest team is looking like !

R Laird, S Docherty, J Bartel, G Birchall, M Brown, K Collins.
(M Hartley, N Broad.)

P Dangerfield, S Pendlebury, G Ablett, D Shiel, T Rockliff, T Liberatore, C Mills, J Gresham.
(C Petracca, R Mathieson, C Adamson.)

T Goldstein, S Martin. (M King.)

D Martin, M Barlow, D Menzel, D Wells, B Kennedy, S Kerridge.
(S Grimley, A Tipungwuti.)

We share some similar players mate, but I'm still not sure about starting Goldy ! In there at the moment.
Starting with 2 donuts for loophole purposes, Adamson and King, can update 1 when I see the best performing rookies before the price rise.
BTW - First time Ollie has been out of my team (this worries me)

 

[Johnsy44]

Having many different ideas

Whats all your Honest thoughts on this lineup

Defence- Laird, Bartel, Sheridan, Weitering, Brown, Broad (Hartley and Hewett)

Midfield- Fyfe, Danger, Pendles, Gaz, Rocky, Liba, Simpkin, Mills (Fwd/mid rookie 123k, Hibberd and MacPherson)

Rucks- Gold and Gawn (Grimley)

Forwards- Martin, Bennell, Merrett, Wells, Kennedy, Kerridge (McCarthy and Uebergang)

There are a couple players i definitely won't be going near this season, but i know a lot of people are. I think you may have too many high price rookies between 200-300k (Weitering, Simpkin, Mills, Wells and Kennedy). Downgrading a couple of them could get you a premium/keeper to strengthen one of your lines. I also see you've got the 3 most expensive SC players this year, i'm not a fan of that but it could easily work out very well.

yeah it worries me more that someone with such a strong core has the durability of a twig used as a scaff pin

Defence exposed for too many rookies- can you be sure Sheridan will be a keeper at D3? With lack of key rookies think you need to downsize mids ( reduce selections of Simpkin and possibly Libba to rookies to allow another 1-2 premiums in defence.

Your mids are very strong but has also weakened your other lines and could cost you in the long run. Do u remove one of the expensive premos and put in a wines/ Shiel type?

Ruck great- set and forget

Like the forward set up- Bennell could be a great POD however concern about him missing round 1 with a interrupted pre season.

Hope this helps

 

[Frank]

Here's my team as it stands right now. I think it's light in the FWD line, but I can't find much as many value picks there as I think I can in the other lines. Also (eek!) no Goldy...

DEF: Laird, Bartel, Z Williams, Sheridan, Brown, Byrne-Jones (Broad, ATM)

MID: Fyfe, Dangerfield, Ablett, Priddis, Rockliff, Wines, Mills, Gresham (Kerridge, Mathieson, MacPherson)

RUC: Martin, Gawn (Max King)

FWD: Martin, Barlow, Tippet, Menadue, Hunt, Grimley (Petracca, Brown)

10k in the bank.

Thanks mate, i had a little thinks about this. i downgraded Wells to rookie and have changed sheridan to Docherty/KK sort

Cheers MM, as you can see above i now have another defence premium. I would love to swap one of my mids to wines but dont think i can. ive been set with these mids since the start. but i am thinking about other options with Liba. Alos, i have Barlow not Bennell haha. not sure why i wrote Bennell

I reckon downgrade Wines to a classy rookie and upgrade Sheridan or Williams to a premium. You backline will be so much better.

To be honest Johnsy, that is exactly my structure. Exactly my premiums too for DEF MID AND RUCK - Minus pendles - for S.Mitchell at this stage.

If the rookies continue to disappoint, it will most likely be a structure i will be going with.

I have the Weiterings, Mills, Wells, Sheridans and Bennedys too!

 

[All is Wells]

So many similiar teams this year, more than previous years thats for sure. Probably due to most teams having nearly identical mids and very few legitimate rookie options at this stage

 

[Junior Wölf]

I just don't have the cash for him. I would rather go Wines than Libba but if need be I can always downgrade Wines to Libba and get more expensive rookies.
