2022: AFL SC Player Discussions

[jaca]

I haven’t even considered Gawn or Grundy as a C choice recently. Something changed? Surely money better spent elsewhere?

Darcy next year!

Don't know if it's the game changing, or just the players we have going around at the moment, but there are 11 mids going 115+ this year (5 of them 120+) which feels like riches.

And bar Touk missing one, those 11 have played every game. The mids are where the points are at.

I think those numbers say that cheaping out and getting a speculative 95-105 player in the mids costs you 20ppg or more. Just spend the dollars and pick a $400k speculative forward instead. Playing every game and averaging 90 makes you top 10 this year and is probably good enough next year as well.

Correct

Hopefully the rookies allow 3-4+Neale+2+3 to start.

I think Darcy is going to be a lock depending on preseason
Just who is the second ruck?
Shall we all try the rookie ruck strat again?

Would need to give strong consideration to Mills and Laird as pure mids. DPP who go to pure mids are often overlooked. Mills is especially attractive although he can miss a game or two

 

[Herbie66]

Stringer anyone?.....

Averaging 103.27 from his last 11 games , including a 44 & 69.

Damn annoying I traded him in for his 22 then out again the following Round.

 

[BC]

Very early days but if funds allow it and positions align then I would be quite comfortable with something like this:

DEF: Stewart, Lloyd, Hall, Sicily
MID: Macrae, Steele, Oliver, Walsh, Neale, M Crouch
RUC: Marshall, English
FWD: De Goey, Butters, Thomas

Plus 15 rookies

I’m very likely starting Stewart and Steele. It was absolute agony coming up against teams with both throughout the season.

Hall, Sicily, Neale, M Crouch, Marshall, English, De Goey, Butters and Thomas all underpriced due to either injuries or positional changes that happened during the season.

Walsh close to a lock. The rest are all proven SC guns.

Solid post here.
Like the rucks and obviously will have a link up fwd to swing a Darcy type in at some stage.
Just want to see how the hawks backline structures up before committing to Sicily. Good price but want to be sure he's the distributor. Don't want a repeat of the Redman/Ridley situation I'm having now. Ridley giving the ball to Redman for a kick out through games ****s me.

Any chance of Cerra and or Serong getting DP.

Tboughts on Keays at Adelaide next season, break out this year. Possibly Crouch traded as well. Which helps his job security

Not sure there's any job security issues whatsoever. In fact there's literally none, he's in the best handful of players they have at the Crows, gives his all each and every week, and has shown he's a solid enough player to be in their main midfield. Has missed one game in the last two years (Round 1 2020), so hasn't missed a game since his club debut.

Not in supercoach
He’s a butcher
Much better fantasy pick where he averages a premo 106 over supercoach at a flat 100 well 99.6. Might improve a point here or there but laird is definitely the one to pick in the midfield at Adelaide going forward

 

[Merv Neagle]

Interesting to see what you all think on this? Who out of these players will average more in Supercoach next season.
Rioli at Ricmond will be a forward but likely to play in defence.
Wright at Essendon very talented, i think he might believe now how good he could be.
Curnow at Carlton injury prone and a forward.
Higgins at StKilda ?
Ainsworth at Gold Coast.
Thoughts?

Rioili imo
Half back the best role of any of those players for consistency
He’ll be similar to impey if he keeps that role next year
Don’t see any of those other guys getting near 80-85 over 22 games and I think Rioli has potential to average 90 if things fall into place with us next year

Just need Houli to retire and he’s a lock

Wont Baker take Houli spot?

Baker has been playing HF/Mid.

 

[Merv Neagle]

Baker has been playing HF/Mid.

So do you think he might change position?

 

[Seymour Skinner]

So do you think he might change position?

Baker has been used as Mr Fix it all year.
I don't think it impacts the Rioli pick.

That said I don't really care for the Rioli pick.

 

[Darkie]

Houli’s retirement confirmed.

Houli’s retirement confirmed.

Short becomes the most picked defender for 2022.
