Discussion 2019: Super Early Player & SC Game Change Discussion

[IDIG]

7 mids with a choice of a 7th def or fwd would be good. Mainly because I always fk up my M8 hahaha.

Although next year, I could easily pick 7 defs

Yep, it’s looking more and more like we’re going to have too many options. And without knowing which M/F we get, I reckon there’s going to be at least a couple of mids who gain DPP that everyone will have, effectively reducing our PODs before the season starts.

I played draft for the first time this year and really enjoyed the effect PODs have on the game..so whatever changes we can make to have more PODs the better imo

 

[IDIG]

Well that answers that ?

[Lost In The Sky]

where do you fit him in ?

Laird , Lloyd , Yeo
Whitfield
Docherty , Williams
Andrews , Short , Witherden
Roberton might be reasonably priced as well

No chance at all Yeo keeps his DEF status next season, has been playing pure mid all season and has in fact attended the most centre bounces of any Eagle player this year.

You say luck, I say skill! ?
But good point, the game has become more about filling your team with top shelf premiums rather than second tier players. Personally I like the idea of more PODs which having more def/fwd would encourage.

Zones are in Introduce Zones to create more PODs.
Start a SC team with something like (just off the top of my head): A third of your Team's players are priced $500,000+, a third $499,900 - $300,000 and a third less then $299,900. AND have 2 trades every week, but during the season, if a third of your current team zone's quota is full, then you can't trade in a player in that price range zone.

Just a random thought, would the game be more enjoyable/strategic/skilful if we increased the number of fwds and defenders by 1 or 2? I don’t hate the idea of having 8 fwd/def to be honest.

said many times before "force" us to pick 2/3 key position players in defence and forwards.

If Bont , Danger , Dusty , Heeney are all available as forwards next year may as just start with 12 mid positions

Good luck fitting them all in your starting team

Good luck fitting them all in your starting team

I'd try find a way and chase value elsewhere haha. Gray will remain a fwd as well you'd think! If there aren't many fwd rookies, just set and forget your fwd line with Bont, Gray, Danger, Heeney, Dusty (?), Bennell (rookie priced)

I would think that even if the “official” rules define them all as forwards, very few of them will be.

depends if they are F/M

3-2-2-3 all @ $ 600,000.00
4 @ $ 350,00.00
16 @ $ 125,000.00

leaves $ 600,000.00 to play around with

not that difficult to start them

1 less to worry about picking then

Dunkley is averaging 105 for his last 8 and 122.5 for his last 4!!! Breakout next year if he is still a mid fwd.

I can confirm...oh and this

 

[Connoisseur]

Hopefully Whitfield receives def/mid eligibility.

2018 Wins Avg: 110.38 from 13 (low of 85 and a high of 141, 3/13 below 100, 3/13 120+)
2018 Losses Avg: 88.5 from 6 (low of 64 and a high of 113, 5/6 below 100)

Averaging 27.4 disposals in 2018.
SC Avg when disposals exceed 28: 115.1 from 10 (low of 95 and a high of 141, 1/10 below 100, 3/10 120+)
SC Avg when disposals below 28: 90.5 from 10 (low of 64 and a high of 115, 8/10 below 100)

1st year in his career where 60% of his disposals have been by foot.

Currently in 2018 he is ranked:
2nd in Total Metres Gained
5th in Meters Gained per game
5th in Total Marks
7th in Total Kicks
7th in Total Effective Disposals
9th in Kicks per game

2017 Time on Ground: 86.27%

[Herbie66]

4 at $350k ? - Bye Bye season

willing to back Zac Attack and Libba/Hanners so with my loose change the other 2 now cost $ 650,000.00

 

[Herbie66]

Dunkley is averaging 105 for his last 8 and 122.5 for his last 4!!! Breakout next year if he is still a mid fwd.

add McCluggage , Parish , Taranto

[IDIG]

Titch + Gawn + Grundy = over 2M

 

[Herbie66]

Titch + Gawn + Grundy = over 2M

but think of all the midprice madness you can have if you start those 3

Doc , Hibberd , Williams
B Crouch (approx $ $ 370k) , Hanners , Scully , Libba
Bennell

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Titch + Gawn + Grundy = over 2M

Will 2019 be the year we break the Top Ruck curse?
Who is game to start both Grundy & Gawn ?
