Opinion Rate My Team

[Drifter74]

Well summed up Hondo.

Difference between this side and the 5-1-5 mid, 2-6 forward lines is jaca is starting Sheridan and Greene over Hartley and Pendlebury.

Points wise with conservative estimates per week it averages out to be similar. Comes down to if you prefer to go in with 1 guaranteed Premium and 1 guaranteed upgrade or go in with the possibility of having best case 2 low end keepers, or worst 2 "list cloggers", depending on their year.

There is also the cash generation that an extra rookie might bring in vs the cash saved on picking up a Premium later at a lower figure etc.

 

[bloke]

D: Shaw, Laird, Simpson, Sheridan, Hartley, Brown (Collins, Collins)

He could still downgrade Weitering and upgrade Sheridan

Which means he's sacrificed Pendles for Greene but been able to remove two spec picks from his defence.

My most recent team. Had to find a way to get H. Shaw in, meaning Greene disappeared from the forward line and Weitering became Shaw.

My own comments:

- Forward line is really thin with only two premiums
- Midfield has a lot of the ~$500-600k types. Not all of them will go bang, and I'm probably running one too deep on that line. The problem is I like them all. Libba became Viney before last weeks game, and I like that option even more now. The one I am wavering on is T Mitchell. Don't even suggest removing Ward, I won't do it.

Thoughts / suggestions?

I like it a lot. With the glaring exception of Ablett. Do you really think Shaw will outscore Ablett for the same price?

Hi I am Cursed ,

Couple of questions for you , will Sheridan play all 22 games and is he worth the money, secondly Petracca is it true he supposedly won't play till round 4-5-6 and is it worth having him now or trading him in when he starts to play . ( I have him)
Other question is Mills , with Parker , Hanna, JPK , Mitchell and Heeney will he get sufficient game time to earn some cash as he is a bit dearer than other rookies.
No Gazza either and whats your thoughts behind that.
Otherwise i really like your team and good luck this season , i posted mine earlier as i have had no feedback can you give me your thoughts ..thx FT

I am taking a punt by not selecting Ablett as a POD. It's a gamble right now, but he has no exposed form for 2016 and he's coming off two injury interrupted seasons. He also had a foot injury in the pre season. Sure - "It's GAJ". If we forget about the name, he's 32+ going into the season coming off two significant injuries and now starting to pick up little niggles. I could be clutching at straws, but those are my reasons for excluding him as a POD.

Sheridan, I'm not too sure to be honest. I have selected him due to SCS hype. He replaced Daniel Rich, so he's cheaper and by the look of things much more in the "breakout" category.

Petracca is injured. He's a placeholder because I haven't found a rookie to replace him with. I have $40k in the bank as it stands I believe, so he could become anyone up to about $160k. I doubt I will start him as a floating donut, because even when he is fit I doubt he will come straight into the side. He hasn't played at all for 12-18 months. I think round 4 or 5 is more of a "best case" meaning he won't be on the bubble until round 7-9.

Mills is really Mills / Parish. I like that the swans have some room across the half back and from all accounts he's firming to take that spot. McVeigh is currently out, Rhys Shaw is gone and now Garry Rohan is injured. It's true that the Swans have a lot of talent in the midfield, but they paid a lot to pick him up and I don't think they would have done that to play him in the reserves. If Heeney hadn't been injured he would have played close to 22 games last season as a first year player. Having said that, if a better option presents itself in the $100-130k bracket, I'm not really overly attached to him!

I will check out your team and give feedback

 

[I am Cursed :(]

Can you give me some feedback here made a couple of changes

Shaw, Bartel, Smith, Aish , Weitering , M Brown, ( M Hartley / Tucker. ??
N Broad or K Collins.)

P Dangerfield, Pendlebury, Ablett, Fyfe , Rockliff, T Liberatore, De Goey, Kerridge.
( Petracca, Mathieson, Hibberd )

Goldstein, Jacobs (Cox)

D Martin, M Barlow, Wells, Gault , Menadue , McCarthy / Milera ??
(S Grimley, A Tipungwuti.)

Have Strengthened Backline and placed more rookies in forward line , is this a mistake or is the structure still ok , running out of ideas ,any help with be greatly appreciated ....thx

PS. How do you post screen shot again would be easier than typing ?????

Returning the favor...

- Brodie Smith I was all over before the NAB cup, but I'm just not seeing it so far. He was ill going into one of his NAB games so you can't read into that too much. IMO he's basically picked up where he left off last year, he's finding the pill but has poor disposal efficiency has been letting him down. I'm sure there were many here hoping he got more midfield minutes with the departure of Dangerfield, but M Crouch looks like the guy who is benefiting the most.

- Aish I would want to see more from before picking him up. Awkwardly priced and you could probably find rookies who will score better and generate more cash. He wont be a defensive keeper.

- De Goey I assume is based on the pre season games. I think the pies have a lot of star power to return and I don't think you should expect NAB cup output in the regular season. As above I think he's awkwardly priced, won't be a keeper and should become a rookie instead. For example if you downgrade De Goey, Smith could become Laird.

- Rucks are pretty set and forget. The talk is that Jacobs has a pretty tough start to the year. No Dangerfield could hurt his HTA numbers, but the rucks are real personal preference this year. You could throw a blanket over Jacobs, Nic Nat, Gawn, Martin.

- Just generally speaking, I think your backline is a bit weak, your mids are a bit overpriced with all of the big 4 squeezed in and your forward line is also quite thin. You could consider downgrading one of Fyfe / Danger / Pendles / GAJ and using the money either forward or back.

Just my $0.02!

 

[FirstTimer]

Thanks Cursed plenty to think about there , back to the drawing board for awhile , appreciate your feedback

 

[Pearcey47]

I'm reasonably surprised at the amount of NAB 'hype' players that seem to be included in a fair number of teams.

I haven't really been following much NAB so can you elaborate on who exactly you're talking about?

I flat out don't like not having Libba when instead you are running 3 PODs in Ward, Titch and Viney. Do you think Viney gives you an extra 30ppg for the $150K that move costs you? You're set on Ward and no Gaz so I won't try to argue there but what about Titch down to Libba? For your $200K well I'd be taking Viney up to Fyfe but if you deadest on no Gaz or Fyfe then maybe you stay as is. Alternatively if you were willing to sacrifice Laird down to Smith you might be able to get Greene for McCarthy.

 

[Pearcey47]

Sheridan, Lonergan, McKenzie, D Howe, Z Smith are probably the main ones.
Shaw and Dangerfield spring to mind also, although for different reasons.
I can see merit in some players such as Gawn and Viney as they are players that should have been on the radar prior to NAB who have performed well.

Going by the end of last year / exposed pre season form I could see Viney raising his average to around 105-110 this year. It's not 30ppg difference though, you are right. I do like him as a POD but big picture I could be shooting myself in the foot.

I didn't see much of the weekends game so I was going off stats alone. Libba only had 17 touches at the weekend. By all reports he did some good things and moved well which is positive for a guy coming off a knee. I know he had 10 tackles but I'm not sure if you can bank on him having 10 tackles every week (even though it's Libba). I guess I'm just wondering if he will have a slow start given he's coming back from an ACL.

I had T Mitchell locked, but after watching him butcher it at the weekend I'm not so sure. The hack kicks out of congestion can do more harm than good if they are cut off by the opposition. His saving grace was that he scored 95 in spite of this, and did it in a heavy loss.

Decisions decisions! Thanks for the feedback.

Didn't Lonergan get injured?

I wish D Howe hadn't played last year and was still available for $120 - 200k. He's been impressive and we have a couple of spots to fill, just hard to justify the price tag.

Minor ankle injury, will be right for round 1.

You have been making a lot of sense this pre-season I am Cursed.

I think Mitchell is more of a Fantasy/RDT player, racks up the stats but doesnt do heaps with them. I reckon a more efficient option could be found, but as with anything it is personal preference.

You've found yourself locked on 3 $500-$600K mids that no-one really has in a season where everyone has the same 5-6 mids. So you are missing 3 extremely common mids in Fyfe, Gaz and Libba.

Look, could work really great. It's ballsy. But at the same time there's risk. Up to you really.

 

[Shaahorn]

Tried to fit as many season long keepers in my side as possible. As much as I want DeGoey, Hall, Sheridan, Lonergan, Crouch etc I don't think they will become keepers in their respective positions.

Any huge pitfalls in selecting a side like this?
