Opinion SC 2021: Rate My Team
- Thread starter KLo30
- Start date
Look who is back 😀 and still with $ 102 k bench rookies that are unlikely to play at all (which caused all your problems last year).
Obviously until Round 1 no one knows what rookies will play but at least give your team a chance by using some that might start.
My suggestion would be to use players who are at least $ 123,900.00 on your bench to then give you some $$$ to work with (always easier to adjust downwards if need be)
Read through the thread to get a idea but here is a quick start
D: Gould , McLennan
M: Bianco , Mead , Valente
R: Treacy ✓ (actually fine to use)
F: Cockatoo , Jones (Ess)
No guarantees any of them play Round 1 either.
A few of the popular $ 117k guys are Downie , Durdin , Laurie & Rowe.
Macrae @ $ 126k
Your team doesn't look too bad injury concerns for Whitfield , Mitchell , Houli & Dangerfield at this stage.
Fix up that bench (remember the importance of bench players playing from the start to generate $$$ to then use for upgrades)

ok been reading about Gawn , Grundy & Preuss so here's a thought , don't start any of them 😀
call me crazy , but it wouldn't be the same with out a crazy idea and crazy team
D: Laird * , Stewart , Docherty , Zac Attack + 2
M: Neale , Oliver , Macrae , Jelly , Fyfe , Cripps , Campbell * , Finrae
R: MARSHALL * , McEVOY *
F: Heeney , JZ , Joey , Impey + 2
13 possible keepers + the 3 premo forward rookies
how good does that midfield look 😍
If and when Fyfe & Jelly break turn them into R1 & R2
This could be the year 🤗

If you go into the season thinking that any of Ziebell, Daniher or Impey are keepers then you're going to have a bad time.
I see 13 possible keepers there which is the same as plenty of Grawndy teams.
It is a crazy team though, I'll give you that.
*** Edited by you to read 13 keepers instead of 16 keepers just as I responded.

Not sure if I'm going to join the dance this year after a thoroughly traumatic 2020 season, but I'm going through the motions for now until I figure out if I want to commit to the upcoming season or not:
Kinda feels like I'm going a bit too deep in the mids (even with Laird probably ending you in defence) and not deep enough up forward.
There are obviously a few in there who are up in the air (Williams, Witherden, Green, Ziebell, Hutchings) but I'll wait to see how their roles pan out in terms of more midfield time or (in WItherden's case) whether he gets the kick in duties.

To be honest, I'm not sure I prefer it over my current midfield (Neale, Steele, Petracca, Crouch, Walsh & Cripps) and I have Gawn and Grundy!
McEvoy just too much risk for mine, would need a clear indication that he's the #1 ruck and that it isn't changing.
Also seeing a Pies fan dodge Grundy completely unnerves me
Stop it!

Think the only crazy name their is actually McEvoy , the majority of the rest have been in every RMT to date.
Actually think the big difference is Fyfe & Kelly.
It's actually fairly easy picking a 13 keeper side with Gawn & Grundy (depending on a definition of a keeper)
eg
Laird , Stewart , Docherty , Williams
Neale , Oliver , Cripps , Rowell , Taranto
Gawn , Grundy
Marshall , Heeney with Z , D , I
is fairly easy to do with enough rookies priced under F Macrae.

Petracca & Steele will be very interesting to see how they perform this season.
If you watch Crouch every week surely not , definitely in RDT though.
Haven't been 100% on Grundy for months to be honest.
Something definitely not right with him last year (aside from what has been reported) , teams certainly worked him out more , think the loss of Treloar will hurt us big time , outside of Pendles , Sidey & Adams we severely lack , maybe Steak Knives plays mid more and adds some grunt.
Don't think Grundy doesn't take enough marks either and his midfield link up play wasn't their.
Scores suffer with Cameron.
Don't think he is the clear R2 choice this year as everyone thinks.
And I could be completely wrong on everything I just wrote 😀
PS McEvoy DPP helps a lot , can hide him at D6/D7.
