Discussion 2023: Rate My Team

Cunnington could possibly work just as well as a Cogs/Rozee/Taranto.
Personally keen on starting Ziebell (then move to defence) & Fyfe (stepping stone)
Powell v Bruhn or Flanders
Allen/Sheezel/McLean/King price type at F6.
Obviously a guessing game as to who gets F status added but they may all be better options aside from Dunkley.
Looks like we might have 8-12 rookie defender possibilities so maybe pump some $ in to the mids instead and get Ashcroft to M7/M8.
Aside from Baker , Chesser , Davey haven't really seen to many bench mid options so maybe Phillips @ M9.

This is my Yeo @ D1 side
Yeo , Jones , Crozier (?) , Goater * , Cole , Constable * / McKenna (?) , Wilmot (?)
LAIRD , OLIVER , BONT , CRIPPS , GREEN , Hopper , Ashcroft , Ginbey * / Mackenzie , Phillips , Davey *
DARCY , MARSHALL / Madden *
DUNKLEY * , ROZEE * , TARANTO * , Ziebell , Fyfe * , McLean * / Ratugolea * , Greene
Bank : $ 143,200.00 (could go Crozier - > Ash)
Hopefully 10-4-8
8 might be too many to start and will probably mean about 12 downgrades to upgrade them all so that's 20 trades.
Doubt everyone (playing) on my bench will rise by that magical $ 150k.
Maybe another 3-4 downgrades (will we even get quality 2nd/3rd tier rookies making enough cash ?) to get enough cash for the 4 midpricers + Green so that's another 8-9 trades.
Will need to sit down and work it all out roughly if I need $ 550k for D (maybe closer to $ 600k) & F premiums (Gawn & Petracca could be closer to $ 600k) & $ 600-625k for mid upgrades if it is all feasible.

Cheers
I do like my mids & rucks.
Both Fyfe & Ziebell are stepping stones so hopefully last long enough to prove worthwhile.
Defence could well be the problem , but that's where the rookies look like being.
Probably need a Docherty or Dawson to start but don't want to lose a premium mid.
Maybe Rozee & Taranto - > Cunnington & ? possibly gets me enough dollars to upgrade Crozier.
On a side note just saw Duursma was $ 282,300.00 , defining season ahead for him.

Hi All,
After a little more tinkering here is my team for round 1 ( rookies on bench May change)
Keen to hear any feedback on the team, any thoughts on changes…
have gone 3 premiums in Defense….have considered strongly Liam Jones so that I could strengthen the forward line with Bruyn….
Also not spending On the top tier rucks until we see the trends with the new sub rule…have a feeling the rucks will be the ones to come out of the game to get more speed…

@Professor
What do you think of my Green @ M1 side ?
DOCHERTY , DAWSON , RIOLI , Yeo , Cole , Ginbey * / Constable * , Wilmot
GREEN , Cunnington * , Ash , Hopper , Fyfe * , Bruhn * , Callaghan , Ashcroft / Mackenzie , Phillips , Baker
DARCY , MARSHALL / Madden *
DUNKLEY * , ROZEE * , TARANTO * , Gulden * , Ziebell * , Flanders * / Ratugolea * , Green
Bank : $ 25,700.00
Docherty , Dawson , Dunkley , Darcy & Green as VC/C options
9-10-3
Heap of trades to use this year , but the more important thing is will we actually have enough viable downgrade targets during the season to generate the dollars to utilise them fully.

Very true.
Will more than likely go back to Laird/Oliver , Bont , Cripps by the start although Cripps , Parish & Steele are probably the 3 "value" mids to start.
Be damn hard trying to get all of Laird , Miller , Neale & Oliver in though.
See where the rookies land when teams are announced and go from their , should be enough (what they score and what their JS is like is yet to be determined).
Plenty of mid pricers available.

First share here. I’m probably one premium short in the ideal setup for this year but with some rearranging and cash in store I could fit someone up to Stewart down back. I still have lots of questions up forward with mid-price players, their roles, sub potential for Bruhn because of so many possibilities at Geelong, what scoring potential for Fyfe because he is fit, no shoulder strapping, but faces a one out role at full forward? Any way please pull apart the team currently starting. Heaps problems getting an image of the team here using an iPad. Please let me know if you can’t see an image.

Appreciate the welcome from you all, glad I caught some forum vets somewhat by surprise with a couple of head-scratcher picks. Admittedly Cadman, Howes and Wardlaw were some "sleeper" POD bench picks sponsored by Jock Reynolds, Sporting News Aus and Honeyball. You're right in that I didn't take ownership% into consideration as much as most of you here.
Greatly appreciate the write up Eagling, likewise Vicwood. I haven't managed a Supercoach team in over 10 years, but have mostly kept up with the league, so the tips help out a lot.
You've all got me second guessing Vlastuin - I believe Tigger will trend upwards this year. I was actually torn between him and Rioli based on one; price, two; his durability, and three; the idea that our backline should be applying more pressure keeping the ball up front for Lynch, Bolton, Riewoldt, Dusty and the rest of the frontend - hence more disposals. Or.. maybe I just wanted more yellow and black.. haha
I was most concerned about my midfield, glad you called it out for what it was.
I've made some changes based on everyone's advice (attached screenshot of both teams below, new and old respectively):
- FWD: Hobbs out. Fyfe shifted over. Hopeful for King to play next week, will keep a close eye. Cadman dropped for Greene.
- DEF: Gonna stack on Saad in replacement of Vlastuin/Rioli, there's going to be a lot of action in Carlton's back-half. Crozier and McKenna to start. Ginbey benched but I believe in that single anonymous Rising Star-to be vote he got.
- MID: Bont and Hopper in, I'm sorta embarrassed I didn't have the latter in already lol.
- RUC: Zilch. I'm doubling down on Draper. Unlike you lot, I haven't lived the underwhelming experience, and I'm a glutton for punishment in fantasy/supercoach. Love a good risk, evidently.
I've now managed to bank just under $200K at the cost of 8 less round one projected points, despite how insignificant that measure can be. Let me know what you guys think, should I make use of all this spare coin?

- I've decided I'm risking too much in the forward line.
- I'm not trusting Crozier to make strides.
- I'm afraid of Oliver being tagged hard over the first 3 games
DEF: Docherty, Saad, Ridley, Yeo, Ginbey, Constable // McKenna, Cincotta
MID: Oliver->Laird, Bont, Green, Hopper, Callaghan, Ashcroft, Mackenzie, Phillips // Baker, Davey, Phillipou
RUC: Marshall, Draper // Ratugolea
FWD: Dunkley, Rozee, Taranto, Allen->Ziebell, Fyfe, Flanders // Sheezel, Greene
Risks: two MID premo start and banking on Draper breakout
Should I try to squeeze Neale in the MID at the cost of two mid-pricers? Should I consider Setterfield at all? My concern is real lol
