Discussion 2022: Rate My Team

[RIAL]

Playing around with a structure involving Preuss at R3.

Like the team. I have Lloyd, Ridley and Whitfield in defence. I have Macrae, Petracca, Neale in the midfield, so a lot of shared thinking here.

Although I'm still struggling to see the appeal for Hewett? At that price he has to be a respectable keeper rather than a cash cow.

Has only averaged over 80 once in a career, entering his 7th season so we are not exactly expecting natural progression.

Sicily is only 40k more expensive.

But surely the logical move is to go Coleman > rookie and Hewett > Def premium? Alot of good defenders this year, I can't see anything less than 105 being acceptable from your D6.

 

[Manikato1]

If


If Darcy gets injured, is that two trades then? think players have to stand on their own two feet

What about Jacob Hopper?

 

[Eagling]

I like the trio Thomas, Heeney and Butters too.

But at virtually the same price as Sicily, if you ignore their respective positions, you would have to think Sicily is likely the highest scoring player from that group right? Just something to think about.

No I not only would not, but I also think the defender options are much better than Sicily than the forwards are against Heeney/Butters/Tarryn.

How many premiums you have 450k and over. 6 x 250-300k players in that range is pretty high.

Managed to push toward 13 in the over 450 and guessing 10-11 if you go that many high price players.

I've got 12 at the moment (to be fair the range is 200-300k that I've based the figure off) but there's definitely a few risks involved.

Next weekend I'll probably get something resembling how I will go into the season together as we will get a lot of rookie clarity from the "real" games.

Finally a Team With Mc Cartin. Hasn't been much talk about the top draft pick of 2014.

I think it's mostly because a lot would have to go right for him to be picked round 1. Makes sense as a good placeholder though as he's perfect price to be able to move up or down without too much hassle.

Do think he could do well if those things did go right but I'd say he's behind both Reid and Melican at this point in time and wouldn't be a long way ahead of us playing Rampe as the 2nd KPD as we've done often and using a Fox type. I'm rooting for him though, would be a great story if he could make his way back and have a long career, not even as a Swans fan which would just be an added bonus!

200% this.

Not only do I think that all three will outscore sicily, i think they are lower risk choices relative to their position than Sicily is

Sitting on this currently, finding it hard to resist all the quality mid rookies along with the Thomas/ Butters/ Heeney combo - appealing to have no fwd rookie on the ground. Does feel weird having just 3 premium mids starting 😂 :-

Agree that there are a lot of good Premo DEF this year, but 105avg from your D6 is incredibly ambitious. Crisp came close last year with a 104.9, but in the last 5 years it's been around the 95 - 100 mark. This also assumes you've managed to nail the top 5 DEF as your D1 - D5

Is there any reason Thomas has been taken over Dusty recently?

(Apart from dusty having the track record of being a slow starter?)
Heard hes been killing training and he seems cheap(ish)

Dusty has an adductor issue.

Looks fine to me Herb. Pretty stock standard apart from Weller. Preuss R3?

Thought he said himself he was behind Flynn at this stage.

Weller starting to gather some mentions in recent days , could be interesting if he is playing HB distributor.

Too many options , surely Round 1 starts soon , just start the season already.

Big issue for me is you've picked 6 keeper forwards already. Obviously that's fine if you've picked 6 that are all in the top tier but with DPP changes and a distinct lack of the more proven names I think there's too much chance that you're stuck either leaking points or making a far too sideways upgrade decision.

Especially with the exposure to Dunkley, Treloar, Taranto, Duncan and Martin who're currently the top 5 most selected forwards. While I totally get not starting all of them, it's still unlikely to me that none of them are top 6 forwards or that one of them probably isn't in the top 3.

I'm not huge on the Weller pick, has lived in Dew's doghouse and despite all the talent to go through those spots no one has ever actually been able to produce premium numbers down back for them. I like Weller but will need to see a fair bit in preseason to change the 80s that he seems to peak at regardless of role always.

Rest of picks individually make sense but, yeah, I never like starting 6 premiums in a position as you need to be just about perfect picking them or it causes issues! You also eliminate being able to target value picks at that position. I had just 5 premium defenders last year but couldn't go for the Daniel or May extreme value plays when they were on.

The bye balance on those 6 forwards is exceptional though at least

I guess if Cogs works I have even picked 7 to start with 😀

Certainly limits things those without even taking in possible DPP additions let alone Duncan , Dusty , Hawkins , Stringer , Taranto etc

I can't pick between Bailey , Butters , Thomas so why not have a look at all of them , Weller was just thrown in their to suit a price.

If they are going 105-110 (doubt that myself) why not start them and get similar scores to mids who cost $ 200k + more.

Forwards will be even more interesting if suddenly 3-4 rookies put their hand up for Round 1.

Certainly some great discussions today about the forwards.

Hey there Herb.
Checked some screen shots of my teams from a few weeks ago and found this one.
Very similar to yours, high risk, high reward. A flexible team that can be thrown around to cover early outs.

Lloyd, Ridley, Sicily, Hewett, Coleman, Sinn. (Chesser, Dean.)

Macrae, Oliver, Petracca, Neale, Lipinski, Caldwell, JHF, Daicos. (O'Driscoll, Meade, Parker.)

Grundy, Witts. (Comben.)

Dunkley, Heeney, Butters, Coniglio, Curnow, Hollands. (Smith, De Koning.)

Team could be judged as an 11, 8, 12 set up and would be confident it would get off to a solid start.
12.9K remaining.

I was looking and thinking wow that is super stronger than mine , then saw Witts at R2 (played in their scrimmage so just be on track)

4 onfield rookies I like , if the mid pricers do the job until the Bye Rounds no reason why it couldn't be very successful

This is my exact team, except I have Oliver where you have Ridley and some rookie differences
Solid!!!

 

[Blaze]

Ok have done some nerding up on a lazy Sunday and here is my "before the practice games" team

Def - Lloyd, Dawson, Whitfield, Sicily, K Coleman, Hinge, (Chesser, Dean)
Mid - Macrae, Steele, Neale, JHF, Daicos, Ward, Stephens, Hobbs (O'Driscoll, C Stephens, MacDonald)
Ruc - Darcy, Grundy (Preuss)
Fwd - Dunkley, Thomas, Heeney, Butters, Coniglio, Hollands (Kelly, Parker)

Big dogs in Lloyd, Steele, Macrae, Neale, Darcy, Grundy and Dunkley are fairly rusted on if they stay fit.
Then comes my "more mid time"cohort in Dawson, Thomas, Heeney and Butters. These guys may come out depending on CBAs in the games to come but i think they are all players I will enjoy watching so it will be sad to wave any of them goodbye
Sicily seems like good value - not sold on him but the structure works with him there
Coniglio (obvs) and Kiddy Coleman lead the pack for me in all the 250-300k spots particularly due to their DPP
Plenty of extra $$ on my 15 rookies gives me flexibility to move around a bit particularly if cheaper ones appear
One of O'Driscoll/Kelly likely stays a a "floating donut to play" even if they miss

That is it for now...4 weeks to go so plenty of changes to come no doubt!

Running two versions of a team right now. The 13 premium team is exactly the same premiums you have with Coleman if I want him, although currently running it with Curnow.
