Opinion Rate My AFL SuperCoach Team
- Thread starter Ironhawk
- Start date
so based on my my mathematical approach my side is
WILLIAMS , LAIRD , SICILY , McAsey , Young , Day / Ling , McLennan
MITCHELL , DANGERFIELD , BONTEMPELLI , TRELOAR , Rowell , Anderson , Ash * , D Stephens / Collier-Dawkins , McHenry , O'Halloran
GRUNDY , GAWN / Jackson
D MARTIN * , ABLETT , HEENEY * , Henry * , Flanders * , Kropenyeri-Pickett / Rankine , E Smith *
$ 73,000.00 in the Bank for adjustments
3-0-5
4-0-7
2-0-1
3-0-5 = 12-0-18

Nice looking team, I'm also going with 5 premium mids as it's so hard to split them.
Having two fwd rookies on the field could be a little risky, as this line would be the most unpredictable in teams of scoring.
Personally not sold on Greenwood, although he'll get the midfield minutes, I'm not sure GC will get enough of the ball for him to average above 80-85. Until GC show they have players regularly pumping out 100s, I'm staying away from their premium players.

Solid team and very similar to mine, back line is bang on.
I also have gone with C Daniel, think he's an astute pick and will get lots of +6s running it out of the dogs' backline.
Rookies will present themselves, however maybe try opening up the MID/FWD DPP with a rookie like Flanders in the mids.
Only risk is a lot of forward rookies playing - may want to have Hill in the forward line instead to o***et that risk, and additionally open up the DPP link between him and Brander.

I think we're making a similar point. All I meant to argue was that 'midpricer' is an ambiguous term and people use it to mean different things, from expensive cash cows to discounted keepers and everything in between. I think you're saying that you consider a midpricer to be someone who, if they score well enough to make the money needed to be considered a good pick, will be on the periphery of being a keeper. I think that's a fair definition of a midpricer, but I don't think it's what everyone means when they use the term.
Steven is a tricky one. It's hard to imagine him really flying out of the blocks and punishing non-owners, so it may well not be worth risking him. But if it looks like he's fit enough for a bit of mid time from the start, I think it's possible he can be a 'good enough' pick early and then ramp up his midfield minutes to become a proper premo. Like all of these types, I wouldn't pick him if I didn't think there was at least a small chance of him becoming a top keeper, even if that's not the only way he can be a useful pick.

Here is mine currently before the pre-season matches start
Most fluid spot has been F3 - it's between Rozee, Wingard, Steven at the moment. 2 DPP links will hopefully help during the season.
I'm content that I'm managed to limit rookies on the field to 2 in defence, 3 in the mids and 1 in the fwds (unless you count Hill as a rookie), albeit at the sacrifice of having NicNat over Gawn.

Cheers for that.
Jackson will likely become Meek , Cameron , Comben , Xerri depending on Round 1 teams.
Anderson , Ash , McAsey , Young , Stephens , Day will become Pickett (if named).
I won't start Williams due to the Coniglio , Kelly , Williams , Whitfield factor admittedly a small sample size.
Prefer to wait on D Martin , so will think about that one as well.
Ideally I would like 1 of Macrae/Neale/Fyfe/Cripps to start but a 2-5-2-2 with 19 rookies might be a tad too optimistic.
Anyway a hell of a lot could happen in the next 28 days , fingers crossed their is not another Tony Hall incident in the SOG.

, Ceglar forward as an each-way bet. M6 as a rookie insteas pushes Doc to D4 which looks more solid though 
Welcome aboard @Meltingpot38, and good on you for providing comments on a couple of other teams first up ?
I like your side and can see solid reasons for most of the areas where our sides differ. In light of that, just a few thoughts that come to mind:
- Personally, whenever I hear someone say that they have X potential keepers/only Y rookies on field, it makes me think that they have probably loaded up on mid pricers, and/or gone for some compromised premium picks. The extent can obviously vary, but given we all have the same budget, typically this is the trade off that everyone faces. In your side, the ones I’d be a bit unsure about are NN (injury and TOG), Wingard (lowish ceiling, doesn’t seem to have kicked on as a SC player) and Coniglio (personally I’m not seeing the appeal with a best year of 21 @ 108 and heaps of appealing mid options available, but some good judges disagree). If you could get one or more of those to a slightly more solid pick, I think that would be beneficial.
- I think you have fairly significant game count/returning injury player risk in aggregate, with names like Doc, Doedee, Fyfe, Cogs, NicNat, Wingard, Smith, Hill and arguably Whitfield. Many of those names are obviously discounted, but personally I think trimming some of the aggregate injury risk could save some headaches!
- No Macrae is an interesting POD (while I suspect he’s at <50% ownership, I feel like he’s very well owned around here). What’s your thinking there?
