What sort of output would you consider would make him worth buying?
I dont buy 300k's unless they are discounted 500k's from an injured season

To be of value he would have to reach around 400k-450k for mine and do it quickly before the mbr's

Anything less than a 70k increase in someone under 400k is a waste of time and points
 
That's what I hate about the 2-trades-a-week thing, the risk far outweighs the reward with midprice-unique types, which was what separated the good teams from the great teams. I guess that's why I haven't really put much effort in this year, focused on my draft league, but I made a team anyway. Ironically has alot of those midprice types but whatever.

B; Gibbs, Hartlett, Watts, Myers, Goodes, Terlich (Pittard, Stevenson)
C; Ablett, Cotchin, Pendlebury, Greene, Fyfe, Wines, O'Meara, Mitchell (Crouch, Viney)
R; Cox, Goldstein (Daw, Rowe)
F; Franklin, Rockliff, Wright, Walters, Pettard, Karnezis (O'Hailpin, Macaffer)

Would turn Walters/Pettard into a rookie/gun but there just isn't any rookies. Might trade Walters to Monfries or someone so I can wait and see the teams.

Why is that? If he averages 80 and rises to 380K by round 8-11, you could straight swap him for a fallen premium, which is the whole idea of a midpricer. Or, if he looks like continuing his price rise you could even hold him for a bit longer.

If you ignore the 300K backs, what you're really saying is that you just ignore breakout potential players; strange.

Uggggggggh oh my gosh when will people learn that i dont buy 300k hacks.

He averages 80 at 300k
Meanwhile goodes averages 70 at 120k
And the other 200k turns Cotchin into Swan and Penldbury into Ablett....

Or means i can have Vlastuin/Macaffer/Patton on the bench and have saftery/backup and money earning capacity rather than dubious 100k players liek Colqhoun/Neade etc.


And if he does breakout with the benefit of knowing break evens i can see. "oh he's going to increase by 70k if he he scores over 60 this week i'll get him. Or wow he's actually a standard 2nd year blues player with no role change and limited oportunities and he isnt increasing in value i' won't pick him up.

Yarran/Atley/Ellis/Bugg - do you feel confidant picking which one will break out??? With the benefit of 44 trades i don't have to, the high possibility is none of them will break out but if they do its an easy pick up.


So in conclusion "ignoring" breakout players priced at 300k is not strange its the obvious thing to do.

If they were players at 400k who i expect to break out but can still push out 80's even if they dont improve is a different matter because if they break out they might become relevant whereas even if these olayers break out they're just a stepping stone to an actual premium.
 
Im sick of backline implosions over the years with rookies not getting games etc so i've just loaded up with premiums back there and took all the high draft picks in my midds....hopefully it pays off.

BACK : Goddard, Heppell, Waters, Gibbs, Hartlett, Vlastuin (Terlich, Goodes)
MID : Ablett, Swan, Rockliff, Whitfield, Toumpas, Wines, Mitchell, O'Meara (Viney, Crouch)
RUCK : Jacobs, Goldstein (Rowe, Currie)
FWD : Franklin, Cox, Chappy, Zorko, Karnezis, Macaffer (Neade, Lee)

Rookies may change but apart from that it's the strategie I'm taking a punt on! Thoughts?

Mate im loving the five rookies in the mids, i was running four but have cut myself down to four..

You're still a bit weak in the forward line conisdering how many rookie mids you have?

Why don't you drop Goldstein or Jacobs for Blicavs/Gorringe or Leuy/Longer And if they play and bang out decent scores then all good if they dont you can swing cox into the rucks to cover them.

Then use the extra money to upgrade in the forward line.

Personally i'd drop one of Franklin or Chappy move Rockliff to the forwards and then use the cash from the effective Chappy/Franks downgrade to Rocky and pick up a premium mid like Murphy/Dangers and a few other characters around the plus 500 range look for one who you think can take the next step.

Then use the extra money from the ruck downgrade to upgrade Neade or Lee to a low range premium you think can go bang. like a Dusty/Wright kind of level player.



Anyway just some thoughts


Personally i'd want Caff on the bench with Cox swinging between the rucks so i can measure up Caff vs Currie/Leuy kind of scenario.


Otherwise solid 7/10

Rename your team "Red Vest City".

It's an interesting strategy and one I have considered. The issue will be can you identify which mid rookies will play each week and not be sub affected. Given the pace of the game, it's not uncommon for first year rookies to be heavily substituted during the earlier rounds. Think Smith for the Dogs last year in Rnd 1. 3 or 4 goals in just over a half and 20 possies. Massive cramps just after half time and subbed. Missed a few weeks just recovering.

Your current squad also seems to lack Port defenders (rookies), there are some good ones there....
 
People stressing out about rookies getting the red vest...if they are a quality high round draft pick then if they get it once who cares, it's not like they will get it every week?

Im not sure how my fwd line is weak Flowerboy...Cox, Buddy, Chappy, Zorko will all average 100 and karnezis 80ish /maccaffer 60-70ish...If my rookies play my team will explode.

Gaff says hello.

When you have 7 rookies playing on the field you are running a great risk of copping at least one red vest if not multiple red vests.

Alright whatever enjoy!!
 
DEF: Goddard, Gibbs, Hartlett, L Brown, Vlastuin, Pittare (Stevenson, Terlich)
MID: Swann, Ablett, Cotchin, Pendlebury, Murphy, ball, Lucas, wines (Toumpas, Viney)
Ruck: Cox, Leuenberger (Rowe, Currie)
FWD: Franklin, Rockliff, De boer, Stringer, Daniher, Menzel (Macaffer, Neade)

not to sure but i think its a solid team, any tips to improve before the big start?

Ouuuuchhh mate

Ball not playing round 1 is he??
String not playing rnd 1
Daniher playing round 1 only if hurley is injured form Hird's reports would then be out of side when Hurley comes back, even if he does get one game
I'd have to say Menz is not likely to play round 1


Straight up drop Ball/Lucas to rookies
Upgrade Stringer to a premium bring Caff onto the pitch

That would be step 1 still some work to do though
 
Goddard - Gibbs - Heppel - Pittard - Goodes - Stevenson (Terlich - Vlastuin)
Swan - Dangerfield - Boyd - Pendles - cotchin - Whitfield - Wines - O'Meara (Crouch - Viney)
Cox - Longer (Witts - Currie)
Bartel - Rockliff - Zorko - Kennedy - Karnezis - Macaffer (Neade - Rowe)

Unsure about:

Switching between Dangerfield and GAJ almost by the hour. Comments from the Suns regarding ABletts new role are leaning towards Danger but feels weird leaving Ablett out

Kennedy up top. Touch and go with him to be honest. Mcpharlin could lock him down in R1 and going forward if he doesnt score goals not too sure he'll rack up points doing anything else

Thoughts/Threats/Suggestions all welcome.

Cheers

Multiple first year rookies may play 1 or 2 games, then miss 1 or 2, as they adapt to the rigours of the real season. Having so many in one area of the field is potentially risky. One issue may be not that they get the vest, but they start with one. Imagine having 170K of Toumpas/Whitfield being on the field with 15 points....

Not guaranteed mind you, but it is a risk based on some examples last year.
