Discussion 2024: Rate My Team

[NT.Thunder]

Community Series Team.

Now the community series is over what does a team look like made up of all the highest scoring players in each position?

What I have done is started with anyone who scored over 110 and then worked my way up in each position.
ie Jai Newcombe didn't make the cut as he scored 125 but there were 5 players who scored higher in the mids.

I have tried to put in the best score regardless of position so the fwds and rucks picks themselves as they were the highest scoring positions and as defenders were the lowest they only have 3 premos on ground.

I have also tried to include the top player for each team if they scored over 110.
As bont and libba scored within one point of one another I have excluded bont to allow more $ to spend on team
Same with Ryan and Young in defence.

I have then filled the remaining spots with the highest scoring rookies.

Thomas is there for the DPP.

So here it is.

With Gawn as Capt as they played early the total for this team is wait for it .......

2,889!!!

That is insane. Kind of gets you thinking eh?

I don’t think you should have Gawn in that team, it makes too much sense

Plenty of players I would like to get such as Fisher but you cant have them all....

I would highly advise against O’Brien. Poor tap ruck and is not involved enough around the ground to warrant consideration or selection outside of draft formats. What do you feel the best case scenario is in terms of average, as it is tough to see him getting anywhere near the likes of English to warrant the price tag? Best to drop Atkins down to facilitate moving O’Brien up, if you are not interested in Grundy.

This is my squad - after taking into account the pre-season form over the past couple of weeks.


I've obviously gone a bit light in Defence.
Hoping 4 of them are in the top bracket.
No Daicos, I'm thinking he just so good, that he will draw more attention this year & he might be available at a lower price down the track.

Mids - There are just so many options here, I'm keen on Newcombe, and think Steele & Miller have good upside as they both looked in much better shape than last season.

Forwards Here I'm hoping I can claw back some of the ground I will lose with my chancy defenders.

Rucks - No surprises

Grundy & Williams are the two that will need to do well in R0.
Probably will drop Grundy back to Xerri, if he looks lacklustre again.

 

[NT.Thunder]

I feel pretty settled on my team or two teams. Grundy is the key piece for me, one team with him and the second with English so very different teams indeed in terms of structure/premium mids.

Unless R0 throws up some real suprises and some screaming pick me, now we wait.

Likewise - we'll see if Billings & Grundy can force their way into my team on Thursday

Owens and Rayner down to Billings and Harmes and NWM to Luke Ryan.

Owens and Rayner down to Billings and Harmes and NWM to Luke Ryan.

Thanks for that suggestion.. I can see why you might go that way, but I’m predicting big things from Owen’s - just about my first picked this year.
Billings is going to have to play some sort of R0 game to sway me ..

Pre round 0 team.

Changes in the last week;

DEF: Stewart, Houston, Gibcus -> Daicos, D'Ambrosio, Reid
Came to my senses and have brought Daicos in, the perfect VC/C option and so highly owned that you don't want to miss out on some of his early spike scores. Case to be made for him to be the highest scoring player this year and at not much than Sicily or Stewart who have questions marks about them then it is a no brainer. Not sold on the D'Ambrosio pick but does fit the structure. Might still run with Gibcus instead and use the cash elsewhere or just hold onto it.

MID: Butters, LDU, Green, Hustwaite, Wehr -> Bont, Parish, Crouch, Roberts, Wilson (from FWDs)
Gone back to the well with Bont similar to the Daicos reasoning and confidence being lost through Butters injury and LDU's praccy match. Maybe he was cruising or maybe he is a victim of players improving around him. $635k a lot to spend to find out which way it was. Parish been on my radar all pre season and he showed to me he was airborne against Geelong. Was involved in linking up play and winning some easy footy on top of his standard quick handballs in and under. Really want to pick Libba and he still may take Serong's spot as still weighing up whether Young and Fyfe into the mids helps or hinders Serong. Anyone have a big opinion either way on this? Crouch vs Wines for that M5 slot or maybe both if I'm feeling really crazy. This price range along with Martin is one I normally avoid but think it is suited for the 40 trade format we have now. Hustwaite squeezed out due to question marks on best 23 that I've seen bandied around. A lot to pay for questionable JS.

RUC: Grundy, Livingstone -> English, Naismith
English, Marshall and Grundy all a chance to partner Max for me. Think if Grundy performs in round 0 then it is his otherwise I see how much cash I have to go for between English and Marshall.

FWD: Powell, Harmes Darcy, Wilson (into MIDs) -> Fisher, Jordon, Billings, Cadman
Feel like there is an abundance of value on offer in the forwards all of a sudden. Most early drafts found I was struggling to fill enough spots down there and now almost wish we had some more. Fisher potential keeper for sub $400k seems a no brainer. We all know that a NM seagull defender can score well. Of the $200k crew Harmes has been squeezed out through no fault of his own. For me I have Fyfe and Jordon locked in and then I think it comes down to Billings vs Harmes and slightly leaning Billings' way at the moment. Reid showed what we needed to see and Cadman more of a placeholder than anything but he may have a spike score in him and do enough for a slow burn F8.

Round 0 watchlist for players not in my team are Grundy, Gibcus, Windsor, Green, Coleman, Wehr, Laurie, Lohmann, Thomas, Oliver.

Are you comfortable having all of Young, Serong and Fyfe in your team?

I've had a similar setup and it just dawned on me that having all 3 starting midfielders from the one team might not be a good thing. I like them all as individual picks though so it's tough.

No I’m not really. Thinking I squeeze Serong for Libba, Green or Steele depending on funds.

 

[mwross91]

Considering a bit of mid price madness at the moment.
Someone talk me out of these risk-heavy picks.

 

[blue dreamer]

About a month ago I started with this

Daicos, Sicily, Stewart, Young, Zilliams, Gibcus, (Hore, Coffield)

Bont, Walsh, Flanders, Amon, McKercher, Curtin, Roberts, Trew, (Rogers, Binns, Clark)

Gawn, Grundy, (Kreuger)

Jackson, Greene, Adams, Fyfe, Reid, Macrae, (Wilson, Mannagh)

$ 14,600 ITB

Came for a tweak and changed nine players.

Out:

Sicily

Flanders, Curtin, Trew, (Binns)

Grundy, (Kreuger)

Adams, Macrae

In:

Pink

Petracca, N Martin, Jordon, (Windsor)

Darcy, (Livingstone)

Sexton, Darcy

$ 90,800 ITB

Think I want to leave it at this now until after Round 0.

With the news that Walsh is out until at least round 3 have traded him to Sheezel with Daicos to the mids.

 

[Master23]

I'm finally back on SuperCoach after a few years away and I'm excited to get back into it!

Wanted to get some feedback on the structure of my team (premo's/midpricers/rooks).

DEF
I've invested a lot into the defence to try get some consistent scores and cause I don't trust the rooks/mid-pricers enough. Is it too premium?

MID/RUCK
Bit of a standard setup in the middle for me, hoping Wines can bounce back.

FWD
trusting in the mid-pricers and rooks here. Should I try and bolster the fwd line?

Got 129K leftover, which could predominantly used to upgrade any under-performers in the fwd line given the risk of using many mid-pricers.

I'd ditch Sharp & F Macrae for better rookies.
Team looks good but you might have an early bye problem with a bunch of your premos.

Thanks for the feedback. Might be a dumb question, but which round/s do you mean for the early bye. Was it rounds 2-6?

Yep.

 

[Peter56]

Would people take Gibcus or Pink , have Reid and Coffield on bench

Gibcus for me.

 

[Peter56]

View attachment 68583 My 0 balance remaining team to finish the practice matches. Would like to here some feedback.
9 genuine keepers and alot of risk after that.

My only real concern is with Rozee. All the other players I have flirted with.

 

[Erek22]

Ending up with :

Thanks Connoisseur!

 

[aj74]

That's a proper old skool G'n'R team you got there Erek.

4 MPs gives it a bit of a modern twist so that's cool. Managed to fit in 10 keepers + a returning premo maybe in Wines with 4 of your players around or over 650k + Stewart and you haven't had to reach for unrealistic levels of cheap rookies. Still... a fair bit of upgrading to do is the only real knock on it.

How much do you have ITB?

I prefer a lot more value in my starting squad but yours here has all the big names and could be pumping out some big scores early.
