Opinion Rate My Team

[Rowsus]

If I had to choose, I'd still pick the first one.
I feel the second has too many of those speculative options. if Rich, Sheridan & Lonergan all turn out to be 88-90 averaging defenders (or even less) you would miss out on 2 95+ averaging options who would be top 6 defenders. You'd need 2 of the 3 to hit 95+ if you're starting all three of them I feel. I prefer only starting one of those types of players who should be close enough for a D6 if they hit 88-90. You'll probably start well with less reliance on rookie defenders but I think in the long term, it will hurt.
Similar thinking for the forward line, feel like a few of those players could turn into "list cloggers" if they don't actually breakout. I don't mind picking one of them, but three is a bit much. Some of these players like DeGoey, Hall (& lonergan) all have the first Bye round, so you can't maneuver them around Byes to add points value over an 18th bye round player when potentially sideswapping them to a top bracket premium.
Seems like that side hasn't got Libba either. If you're playing M/F rookies in the midfield, why not make the switch and just upgrade DeGoey to Libba who'll probably earn more points?
Also don't like No Goldy.

The first side seems to have Weitering at D4 and enough $200k rookies (all of Mills, Oliver and Parish(?) maybe a M/F?) to make plenty of cash and upgrades. I don't think Currie's going to get games, so potentially if you're running a M/F in the mids, I'd pocket the cash saved from Currie and try turn F1-F3 into an M5. I personally think the 2 Fwd premium structure is the way to go, but that's just my own thinking.

Good luck for the season. I really hope you have a big one this season, you deserve it!

Thanks for the feed back B18.
Nope, no Weitering or Parish in there. Where there is a R or X it is the same player in both teams.
Nothing set in stone, and I will probably split the difference, and do something halfway between the two.
I've never had Goldy (until that pure G'n'R team above) or Libba in any of my teams. Not saying they're bad picks, they're just not for me.

Understand your reasons for no Goldy or Libba. Think Goldy and Gawn are the best starting rucks personally. I've shot myself in the foot with Libba. Was quite against him early, but my lack of confidence in reliable rookie mids makes me more comfortable having him at M6 even if he only averages 100.
My team is more of a split of the two too.

Bit split atm.

Rich promises to break out but just doesnt seem to put it together. Did look fit the other night and with lions mids out he should score okay + Leppa did say he'd play more as a midfielder this year.

Johannisen in there but could easily become Lonergan if it turns to crap.

Can't see teams letting Shaw run free all day in the real comp. Paying big overs if he does indeed get sat on.
Weitering has js for sure butconsistant 70's is alot to ask of a first year player ( will say was very impressive in nab cup)


Rip it apart lads

Bump
Cheers

Like many on here, I spent the majority of my day yesterday pouring over the NAB stats, going through the many iteration and evolution of my starting team, and going back to my lists of Top 10's and 'speculative' watch list. This is my team currently on the SuperCoach website, built with a mix of true premiums, speculative & value picks, on-field rookies with decent scoring potential and job security, and bench rookies with decent job security. As I alluded to in my recent post under the Team Structure thread, I'm finding it very difficult to settle on a particular combination so this is likely to be fluid up to the very last minute!

D: Bartel, Williams, Sheridan, Lonergan, Dea, AMT (Hartley, Adams)
M: Fyfe, Dangerfield, Ablett, Rockliff, Libba, B Crouch, Mills, Bennedy (Menadue, Gresham, Davis)
R: Goldy, NN (Loersch)
F: Barlow, Robinson, Buddy, Hall, Wells, Kerridge (McCarthy, M Brown)

$81,400 left over for rookie corrections

Rookies aside, the evolution of the above team can be summarised as follows:

Stalwart (8): Bartel, Sheridan, Fyfe, Dangerfield, Ablett, Rockliff, Goldy, Barlow
In & Out (4): Williams, Lonergan, Buddy, Hall
First Timer (4): Libba, B Crouch, NN, Robinson

Thanks for sharing.

Mids and Rucks look really solid, wouldn't change them.

Feels like perhaps too many speculative/break-out contenders in Fwds and Defs?

My thoughts exactly, i would be more looking to use that money left over not for rookie fixes, but encase that backline goes horribly wrong!

Im currently looking at

Defence : shaw bartel laird rampe dea broad

Mids: danger gary priddis shiel viney libba mills oliver

rucks: goldy/gawn (currie)

Fwd: barlow hall wells kennedy menadue kerridge with 62k remaining

Its either shaw+viney+hall with 62k left OR dalhouse+hanners type price+Mcgovern with 22k left.

Thoughts?

I like the second option. I'd feel a lot more content with Dusty Martin than Dahlhaus. Rocky instead of a Hanners type? If you are particular about avoiding Rocky, maybe a Parker/Wines type? Then you have a few options. Perhaps a Simpson instead of a McGovern, a Treloar instead of a Viney (no less POD) or a Martin instead of a Gawn?

Plenty of options. I like the structure of your side though!

Hey THCLT,

Firstly thanks for sharing.

I think the price you pay for having 4 premuim mids plus 2 mid pricers plus Goldy, is that it uses cash pretty quick as you would be aware. I'm sure you are also pretty aware that the backline in that team needs some work. I think it as been openly been stated that Bartel wont play all games, so for that reason I have removed him from my team completely. Whislt I think that the defensive line is the best place for selecting break-out type players, I thnk having all of Williams, Lonergan and Sheridan is taking a bit too much risk.

I would prefer to atleast take in one more reliable defender in this team. Where you get the cash is the question???

I think the balance is out, the better rookies seem to be in the forward line, so I would think that 3 forwards plus Wells would be a better fit then use the cash to sure-up your defence.

Just my 2c.

Where you have Matt Crouch, I would rather have a rookie if it would allow you an extra forward keeper.

Think Matt Crouch will outscore Bartel so downgraded Bartel to a rookie (Adams also f/d with m.brown) and brought Mcgovern up to Hall.

Appreciate the feedback Deeman1 and agree with ALL your observations! Like I says, I'm just not settled on any of the combination and team is still very fluid at the moment.

I don't think I've been this uncertain with regards to my starting team post NAB. I think it'll probably end up being a 'hybrid' of the pure GnR and Value approach.

I really like this team. I like the fact you have 3 FWD keepers at the moment. Have gone a little lighter with the rookies leaving out oliver in the mids and dea in the backline. Nice and balanced though. I personally am big on taking in currie. I believe he will play most games and make a nice price increase. I see him as free money really, considering Goldy/gawn/martin are very reliable. I prefer Hurn over B smith. Both have upside, however i think b.smith is more of a risk. All in all great effort!

Thanks mate! Yeah way to many options once shaw comes down to a lesser type. But not quite enough to get an extra FWD keeper. Especially if running a few of the 200k rookies. ARGGHHH lol

Edit, I think viney will match wines and parker this year.
