This is certainly an interesting thought, and could be especially relevant this year given the mature age type players on offer. The success of this probably relies on you getting 1 or 2 Daniel Rich types early, players that don't necessarily need to be upgraded early on because they score...

610 overall. bring on 2009!

I'm Dangerous Weevils, coming 3rd in the league.

i've had it with these joel bowden shenanigans. out bowden and s.d. thompson. in kennelly and goddard. no looking back.

Keep in mind how terrible Carlton were in 05 and 06 and he still averaged well. Very strong midfield now + high possession football style. C'mon, you make it sound as though he's missed heaps of games. With the exception of last year he's played at least 20 games a season since 2001. That's not...

You think Houli will score just as well as Nick Stevens? Why not have both then? Houli's played 4 games in his career. Nick Stevens is a proven gun. Add Judd to the Carlton team and Stevens moves down the order in terms of copping a tag. He ave'd 102 in the NAB cup. What more do you want from a...

It's tricky. Both players that could easily have great seasons. For what it's worth, I've gone Deledio out of the 2, mainly because of Buddy's record with giving away free kicks. Also, Deledio's new position as a leading FF/midfielder has been likened to James Hird and Brad Johnson. It's a...

Hope that helps

I don't get it. He's not going to get any cheaper and they're playing Richmond first up.

I like it actually. I reckon scrap n thompson though. no nick stevens?

it's not horrible. here's some advice. swap c cornes for ed barlow. swap j bartel for n stevens. put houli in ur vacant midfield slot. there's about 300k generated. swap riewoldt for deledio. there's another 100k. swap thompson for tredrea. upgrade one of ur rookie forwards to whoever with...

Oh geez...

Goodes isn't a slow starter... he just had a slow start to '07 due to a poor pre-season. Check his '06 stats.

This made for great reading and gave me some good ideas. Thanks for all your hard work putting this together! :thumbsu:

Ah... now that would be telling. I'll give you one - Stanton will kill in SC this year.

Isn't that just speculation? If that was true then he wouldn't have played NAB games cos yr 12 has started already.

It's a little different when you're talking about key position players. In defenders and forwards, there is so much separating the elite level players and the mid tier players. You're right, there is not a hell of a lot of difference b/w Stanton and Dal. But there is a hell of a difference b/w...

Their price is irrelevant if you keep them for the year.

Yep it matters. I'd slot him into your backline. Then get a midfielder at a similar price to the replaced defender. There are many more 400k and under midfielders that have scope to score highly and improve in price than 400k and under defenders.

Roughly 2200 points per game

Limited options in the backs means that Cornes is worth the money. He's one of those players you build your team around. For what it's worth Cornes, Goodes and Pavlich form the core of my team.

Should go well. Not a bad pick. Probably undervalued but won't hit the 100+ scores as often as someone like Cox.

Every backman apart from Cornes and Gilbee are pretty mediocre. Solution? Start a rookie on the field in Defence and Midfield, in place of say Pearce and Mattner. I would also downgrade Dal to a cheaper player, say ~550k. This should generate about 450k in cash. Upgrade 1 of Thompson/Tredrea...

If you're looking for a player at that price range to ave 90ish, then you may as well take a look at Tredrea. Is in a similar position to Thompson and Bradshaw in that he's returning from injury (sort of) but is the only one to consistently average over 100ppg in multiple seasons. Decent...

Hall is cheap and fit. You know what he's capable of. There's not much risk there.

Gee, flip a coin. McPhee has the best potential to get elite-level scores of the 3.

Haven't considered either of them, the reason being that there is much better value out there. Adcock seems too expensive based on one breakout season, not enough upside there. Carrazzo has about 5 million other midfielders in there that he'll have to compete with for gametime/possessions.

Is it insane to have Hall, Aker, Tredrea, Burton, Embley and Stevens in the same team? All have been guns in the past, all had down seasons last year through injury. Too much risk? I like living on the edge though.

Your entire backline is worth about 200 points a game total and your forwards and mids aren't even that well stacked as compensation. Put it this way - your best defender is my 5th best. In fact 5 out of your 7 defenders wouldn't even be guaranteed of starting round 1. Sorry mate, you gotta...

I'd like to put in my 2 cents about Franklin. Here's why I think he's a great buy this year. > 4th year in the system after having a break-out year last year. > 6/9 last games of last season he scored 100+. > NAB cup form has been deceptively good. Played barely any of the game against Carlton...
