Opinion Rate My AFL SuperCoach Team
- Thread starter Ironhawk
- Start date
Was doing some twiddling to see what happens if I took out Heeney and stumbled across this $0 left over team, so it must be destiny...
Laird, Sicily, Doc, Hill, Williamson, Gould (McLennan, Rivers)
Macrae, Cripps, Danger, Oliver, Lyons, Curnow, Pickett, Robertson (McHenry, Shipley, Hibberd)
Grundy, Gawn (Comben)
Martin, Lynch, Acres, Smith, Brander, Rankine (King, Cameron)
Gambling on Lyons and Curnow (maybe Walsh instead but it didn't use all the budget
) blasting some solid pp$ early and some mid-priced madness up forward coming off but could be a fun ride heh.

Interesting that you've chosen both Curnow and Lyons and being able to fit them in, guess I could without Whitfield. I've been tossing up between the two. I like the Lynch pick, he's in my side at mo (not that it means much). Laird and Sicily are both upgrade targets for me. I don't like the fact that Cripps had so many sub 90 scores in the last 1/2 of the season, but he is an upgrade target too. Out of that lot I only see Acres as being the most risky, but it all depends on his role as he had been played out of position at the Saints, a watch for me.
Of the likely keeper forwards I'm really only sold on starting Dusty. Whitfield feels like too much cash; Heeney has injury questions; I feel Walters had a spike season, boosted somewhat more by some last gasp winning goals, that makes him overpriced as well.
So if I shoot for value there and downgrade Neale for M5 I can get Rowell up to a speculative M6 as well.

I don't doubt if he can ave 90 plus he will be a steal at his starting price. In 2018 there were 19 forwards that scored better than 90 so the "bar" as it were fluctuates a lot. Without wanting to get into the semantics of the term "premium" for me (but maybe not for others) I could never consider some one who has never ave over 100 a premium in any position. Yes I know Def and Fwds are not the same as mids but that is just me. Note I don't consider Heeney a premium but he would be a fwd keeper as a consistent scorer in the 90's.
don't think I ever said Smith was a premium but anyway , I guess we need to wait until the end of the season to see how many average 90+
all going well I hope I can lock him into my starting side and he becomes a season long keeper.
certainly appear a number of options that could take the next step , from what I have read here , there and everywhere seems only Whitfield , Dusty & Heeney appear the most likely to be Top 3 so it is fairly open after that

Okay, maybe I should have said more 'like' a premium. That statement was in response to the poster I was quoting who said he was ' a quintessential mid-pricer' A premium player for me in the Fwd line is a top 6 scorer, same in Def and a top 8 scorer in the Mids. Uber Premos I rate as the top tier scorers across each line. This may not be the way everyone rates players but it's my way of setting targets, budgeting trades and general trading strategy for the year.
Took me awhile to find it.

Has Dev Smith tagged on screen as a midfielder but he personally spoke about drilling with the forward group.
I definitely think he could be value but between Dylan Shiel arriving and basically being a better contested player, wanting to get midfield time into Darcy Parish, and Heppell/Merrett/McGrath, there's not going to be much time for Smith and Stringer in the guts.
As a fwd I don't see him having the scoring potential that would make him either worth keeping or get enough $$$ out of him to trade.
