Analysis 2023 Preseason Games

[AngryAnt]

Glad Gulden went on with it. No Mills (or Papley) so still pretty unclear (although Gulden was great last week with Mills anyway)

Considering he never had more than 24% CBA's in any games last year, I guess he's a pretty scary prospect with the FWD status. No doubt he's going to be in the mid rotation (more than 24%) in Round 1.

Don't think he needs mass cbas to be a genuine option, a decent increase would be enough for him, a bit like Butters in that regard.

Coniglio and Taranto would want to impress tomorrow. A few alternatives popping up.

 

[Eagling]

The temptation is so strong to split Oliver into Gulden and Bruhn. Thing is, I'd probably least trust Longmire and Geelong to keep them in a lucrative role (Longmire because he's Longmire), and Geelong because they bat so deep and are so good that they can afford to structure how they want and take their time developing.

Yeah that's the scary prospect. If he has 40% CBA's (seems realistic enough) - that could be enough.

Roberts playing Round 1 ($123K mid ) would probably a good indication they plan to use Gulden as they have in both pre-season games (Stephens/McInerney/Roberts rotating through the wings)

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Gulden ownership at 7% by round one it will be 30-40%

Was 4% before he played tonight so another 3% have already jumped on!

 

[Under The Dome]

Ginbey to ton with 50% TOG.

Ginbey to ton with 50% TOG.

He has looked good.

Matty Roberts 469 metres gained (5th on ground) despite only going at 46% efficiency.

 

[Uncle Drew]

Gotta love preseason. If your players do well, you're cursing everyone else for jumping on board. If they go bad, then you dump them for someone who did better. Makes you wonder why we even bother picking a team before preseason matches.

😮👏

Neale 17/17 @ 134
Gulden ?
S Mitchell 20 @ 104
Short 22 @ 98
Zaharakis 22 @ 90

Starting Merrett means you can't pick him up for around $500k midseason and having him whilst he goes on an amazing run.

Correcto. Check out Neale's mid season draw and how he likes being tagged. Might be a clever time for a sideways to Merrett. Exactly the sort of unconventional move that can gain you a hundred or more valuable midseason points. And if you get a hunjy to 150 in cash as well, then it's no different to cashing a successful rookie

Not sure I saw what I wanted from Yeo tonight 😒 Difficult structural change though with him at D3 🤔

No injuries is good enough imo.

Limited mins/ looked after him.

Got through fine, all good from my end

 

[Vicwood]

Cincotta junked up to 70

Love a player who can junk it up when the game is done.

102K cherry on top

 

[Zim^zuM]

Laird or Oliver may well be 50k cheaper by round 7, but so is the 600k midfielder that you picked in their place. So while you're trying to put together 650k, everyone else is only looking for 550k to bring in the alternative, and are 10ppg ahead

plus the x2 C points

 

[aj74]

The trouble with that is finding the $650K as there will always be other problems you need to fix at the time so you end up missing him 😥

It's why you have to leave that 100k spare

Look. Chances are you won't nail every premo and rookie. Add some MPM and you're right. Too much to solve in one week

So you bank yourself half a trade or so (100 k) by not spending it all at the start and it gives you extra choice at round 3 when you've a little more info. You also save a trade.

Takes discipline though. We are all like 10 year olds at the milkbar with a fresh crispy tenner to burn at the start of the year. Gotta learn to not spend it all at once

 

[donnybuang]

I agree but went from an elite player to pretty much a nothing player. Trade him or find a new role for him, i know his not laird but that sort of role maybe would of suited him. Can find the footy and can tackle half decent.

Elite SCer. Not elite player. Never accountable as a defender and picked up easy touches.

 

[Peter56]

Anyone game to pick McGovern? He has scored well in other seasons and I think the ball is going to be down there a lot. Perhaps a draft pick?
