Was friendly advice, hence the 'haha.' If you want to get all shitty in response, then that's your prerogative I guess

Well i did smile and put up a silly GIF. Not sure how i was being shitty exactly. Just teasing you right back ;)

The sue me part seemed like that, but the gif made it a little excessive and made it seem like sarcasm. Just an fyi. All good though

Hey guys,
At the moment I’m running with Newman as D4.
I’m tempted to downgrade him (his 29 from 76% TOG was the killer) but at the same time, you can’t ever really judge on JLT games and I think he will rack it up in Carlton.
I’m also running with English as R2 which I can see a lot of people have jumped off this bandwagon.

What is everyone thoughts on me downgrading Newman and then upgrading English? Cheers

I don't think you can get rid of him on the basis of pre-season, if you backed him you should stick with that IMO.
Who would you downgrade him to? If you don't have Williams or Brodie Smith then would do that but otherwise not a lot in the midpricer/rookie end of things unfortunately.

Don’t have Williams, have Smith. It’s a hard decision, I also wanted McGrath from when I first started making my team but downgraded him to free up some extra $$ for my midfield. Hmm
 
Currently rolling with this team. Subject to change (most likely) in the next week.

Lloyd, Whitfield, Witherden, Williams, Clark, Scrimshaw (Jones, Hore)

Treloar, MCrouch, Zerrett, Rocky, BCrouch, Libba, Walsh, Scott (Constable, Hayes)

Grundy, Goldy (Fort, Cameron)

Danger, Telly, Billings, Setterfield, Parker, Drew (Petruccelle, Lewis)

60k cash

Obviously rookies are only placeholders pending selections.

Couple of things I’m considering.. A lot of people getting caught up in the genuine midpricers, your Worpels, Newman, Sheed types and if they come off then you’re on a big winner. But.. things like this happen every year, Walters and Wingard spring to mind from my side halfway through last season and I just dont feel comfortable with it.

I’ve gone a little safer (still fairly risky) with guys who have been there in a big way before and have runs on the board, and tried to be as unique as possible while not being overly stupid about it. Have high hopes for guys like Merrett, Rocky and Billings who have kind of done it before and have a better shot at working out.

The problem this year being there’s just so much uncertainty everywhere.. Apart from midfield, I’m genuinely unsure about the top priced and rookie players in all other positions. Laird, Whitfield, Grundy, Gawn, Dunkley, DSmith, Hoff, Macrae, Sicily all have things that could affect scoring and the rookies speak for themselves. Who’s going to be this years Rocky or Billings.. Don’t really want to be paying top dollar for guys I’m not 100% sure about, although a couple are in my team at the moment.
 
Good morning,

Second coffee and I think I'm close to finalising my team. I possibly need some amends to the fwd line.

All fewdback welcomed

B: Lloyd, Witherden, B Smith, Scrimshaw, J Clark, Duursma (Burgess & Goddard)

M: Macrae, Cripps, Selwood, Brayshaw, Rockliff, Libba, Walsh, Atkins (Scott, Hind, Gibbons)

R: Grundy, Gawn (Z Clarke)

F: Danger, D Smith, Heeney, vandenGerg, Setterfield, Drew (Balta & Parker)
 
What are people’s thoughts on Willie Rioli? Second year, priced at an average of 54, so a true mid pricer.

Primed to play a bit more midfield, high half forward and I think easily improve on that average by at least 20pts.

In great nick and scored 120 in the second JLT.

If you want to take a risk on a richmond player Higgins is your man, kid had massive junior numbers and is touted to be a future midfield gun. Im personally not on either

This Rioli is the Eagles version.

Today's play around seals the rucks but weakened fwd, mid & defence to get from
Lobb to Gawn
(Or English to Gawn)
Leaving the side was Ridley, Cousins & Elliot to cheaper but secure rookies so still some cash generation. Gets some of the big names.
Sheed is in but only to bridge the gap to Cripps who I had in place of Coniglio. Just need Sheed to start well. I'd bet on an EOY AVG of sub95 though.

Quite closed to my what I think is my finished side!

My only concern now is Worpel at F3, but I felt I needed 1 big name in there with Danger (Dunkley).
 
Do you reckon they make it intentionally bad so it's worse that their own teams? No way an intelligent fantasy player runs Dusty and a three rookie forward line this year?
Definitely.
I reckon they fill it with fantasy populars to keep the part timers away from the coveted selections.

To be fair, Dusty averaged 113.6 the year before - that's more than Cogs, Cripps, Brayshaw etc. Obviously the premiership hangover + being trialled up forward really hurt his scoring last year. Richmond had their best year, winning the flag and the brownlow with Dusty playing as a mid. Perhaps the coach will recognise this and move him back? With Lynch joining the forward line there's a good chance of this happening. Dusty is potentially a bargain priced at 92. He never misses a game and I can't see him averaging much less than that.

That said, I probably won't start him as there's a few other players I like that are less of a tag risk.

If you've got Newman at D4 you're batting deep in DEF! Not that its a bad thing, but it may unbalance the rest of your side?

For what it's worth, I was keen on Newman pre-JLT and his JLT1 confirmed it for me. I'm treating JLT2 as an anomaly...

Plus he was hampered by injury and depression (article on afl.com.au). It was his lowest season average since 2012. I see him as a 102-107 average player, so he comes in underpriced.

I think 6-6-6 will suit him - more room to move in the centre and resting forward. I like him as a VC loop option for round 1. Tiges’ mids should dominate the young Blues’ mids...but does Curnow tag Dusty?
 
Beams is obviously a very good player. He's priced at 105. How much better do you see him going at Collingwood, which has arguably the best midfield in the competition, compared to Brisbane?

Does that mean he has more room to roam free With players like treloar and sidey getting more attention from opposition ? He went nuts towards the end of the year and wouldn't be surprised to see 110 + from him
