2018 Rate My Team (Post JLT)

[Double the Fist]

The second ruck and dangerfield are the hardest things to decide. That will separate a lot of teams

Moreso 3rd ruck If English plays and Cameron don't that will help. A lot of similar teams, esp on here so you are absolutely right. fun times.....

 

[Hai_Newman]

Where is Bob ? .....was that a year's suspension ? .....who'd he kill ?

Who is Bob?

 

[pincrusher]

Why has Savage suddenly appeared in every team ? ......who had him last year ??

You mean these "Super" impressive stats ?

At 27 years old ......are we seriously thinking this is a breakout season ? .....not being cynical, just asking realistically .......seems a lot of weight is being applied to JLT scores (trial game) ??

Mostly due to Joey retiring, meaning that Savage should get more of his possessions. That's my take on people's justification. Don't have him myself but haven't completely ruled him out, but Joey retiring is the reason for the hype. Would be akin to thinking that Buckley all of sudden knows how to coach, but you never know.

I cant wait for dean towers to end up in sides once buddy retires

 

[WaynesWorld19]

4 Tones before the last four games you quoted. Why did you only put the last 4, inc 3 finals games as your sample?

Saints didn't play finals ? .....my interest is always how a player finish's off ......guess TWT , i'm just curious re the flooding of teams with Savage a career best ave of 87 ?

How quickly Posters are forgotten around here .....discarded

How many more touches does it give Savage? Could Roberton get more of it without Joey there?

Get rid of O'Shea ....if you put Murphy in, it'll give you another $64K to spend on your team

 

[Cold Sober]

Scenario, Danger and Ablett both play round 1 and cream it, BF meltdown.

 

[Cold Sober]

The second ruck and dangerfield are the hardest things to decide. That will separate a lot of teams

So will Dusty and Mitchell getting injured in round 1, shit does happen.
As for 2nd ruck, Grundy, Billy Longer or Lycett at a pinch.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Everybody has to bring Danger back in now, if they wanna win.

This guy makes too much sense for a newbie

 

[ROOINYOU]

In regards to using a mid-pricer to bring in Danger, people act like it's going to be easy at about Round 6 to cull someone you paid 400K for, and is averaging 100+ to bring in a seemingly under-performing Dangerfield (assuming he's had a poor game to bring his price down).
Never mind the fact you're also likely going to have to drop a rookie who's performed well enough to make $150-200k in a short time.

You do realise that your team will likely be knee deep in injuries, under-performing premos and rookies, and that 400k player who is averaging 100 is holding it all together.

I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Then don't do it mate...I'm on the fence ATM.
Sounds like your trying to convince yourself here with a scenario you believe is set.
Danger could do his hammy properly in the first quarter rnd4 and then you've missed the boat on some awesome
midpricer.
No one knows what's comin mate...
We gotta take risks to get ahead.
Or you could just be happy with being an average SCer.
Again,I'm on the fence ATM on this.
But you can't ignore the injury, hammies can linger and break up a footballers year.
How this is handled will make or break a few SC seasons.

Didnt mind that Longer suggestion

going for broke..probably end up about 20k but whatever.

Could always drop Hogan + Savage for Danger and a rook if some underperformance going on.

Well here i am pissed on a school night, can someone smack my behind for me. Mercury hard ciders make your head fizzy pretty quick.

Solid team. Not really a fan of the Longer pick at R2 though.

I really like the Hogan pick. I haven't really thought about him as mid price option.

Probably a sign I should go to bed.

 

[Donkey Magoo]

Will he play though. I'll do the shuffle on who's named.

Yeah, I've had a couple diet sprite light beer shandys and I'm doing karaoke to Carly Rae Jepson over here.

SO CALL ME MAYBE.... I've got some sweet stuff.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Teams done (for good this time) LOL!

Couldn't decide out of Smith and Petracca so put them both into my team. Haha!

Wont have to worry about my forwards, rucks and mids for a while.

First priority will be to bring in Dangerfield by using O'Meara as a stepping stone.

Hibberd I will look at bringing into my backline at some point too.

Yeah, me too. I'm a bit of a sheep with these things, people keep making compelling cases and I find it believable and feasable. *yeah, they werent finals, but he did have a good run. Must be something in it. Surely he doesn't lose any value. WOrst case he ends up as D6!!!

Best tasting of the Apple ciders IMO

 

[crow77]

Done a few hammys back in the day and i assure you i didn't have explosive pace like the Dangetman and they linger all year,could be like Big Brad Ottens,play around 12 games in second half of season and get right for finals,any sign of a niggle and he's rested,A big NO for me....Here's my Dangerless team

gonna roll with this

too hard to build a team around getting Danger in after 2 or 3 weeks. Will grab him when I can.

forgot the airport had free wifi as well!
