2019 planning

[Iceman!]

Still very much in consideration i would have thought, his fitness and tank is going to be a work in progress for a while yet and i think that is more what Clarko was alluding to, but he has shown he has the ability.

This is from one of our training watchers today

"When they broke in to seemingly our first team and reserves I noticed Morrison and Lewis with the reserves, and Nash with the first team. Scrimshaw was in the first team as well"

I hope so

I listened to this interview. Blows my mind because I had him locked after it. That would have to be the only quote out of multiple that suggests doubt. The rest sounded great

 

[Shadow89]

yep, there has to be an upgrade coming...the trading screen..the ticker... it's going to kersplutz i reckon.

This is actually mental that there isn't an advanced trade screen or a lockout counter...with 49 hours to go. I'm gonna send them a message.

Btw, to everyone who thinks 'oh relax they'll sort it out', just know that they didn't even have an area to cancel the trial subscription before I berated them. They literally charged me because I had no option to cancel. Then they put the button in and the ability to change to different subscription options.

No confidence at all in whoever's pulling the levers this year. It's been an absolute shit-show from the beginning

IMO he'll play sporadic games this year. Not enough continuity to be worth it as a rook

 

[Demon in Hell]

Laird and Sheed

Vs

Crisp and Taranto

I've got Duursma in my mids so I'm really just hoping he can play atleast a couple games until the pick of the defensive rookies reveal themselves

 

[TheVelourFog]

Who would people go with for Duursma vs Collins. I think Duursma has a better chance of getting scores above 50 bit I think Collins has better job security. I can only afford one.

Holy hell were back

 

[Cotchy9]

Anyone going the 1-2-3 defence?

Lloyd, Smith, Williams and 3 rooks. Or is it too risky? Makes the other three lines look really nice

 

[Dupogi]

Holy hell were back

I was getting even more nervous

 

[happy_eagle]

Need to figure this one out before tomorrow night

Gawn + Martin/Taranto/Sloane
or
Goldstein + Coniglio/Cripps/Treloar

Gawn 110 and Dusty 105-108
V
Goldy 95 and Coniglio 115

I like 1

I've got that set up.

I blame Big footy going down for the current rabble i call a team... Spent the entire team fiddling with it and had nobody to stop me!

Sloane and potentially Taranto may have capacity to be Top 8 mids but I doubt it (Dusty certianly doesnt) and I have to think Gawn and Grundy go 1 and 2 in the Rucks again, although Goldy is a worthy R2.

I'd probably go Option 2 for the Goldstein value and the lock Topp 8 mids in Treloar, Conigs and Crippa.

As one of the more respected fantasy posters on here, if it’s good enough for you, it’s good enough for me Haha

I can't guarantee i'm on the mark with Rookies all the time but I just think that the likes of - Ridley, Clark, Duursma, Collins, Logue, Scrimshaw, Hore, Burgess, Joyce, Rozee offer enough Job Security and Value to find 3 onfield rookies over the forward line which only has Linc Macarthy, Setterfield, Lukosious, Drew, Parker, Petrucelle, Burgess, Rozee

Because realistically you have to go three rookies in either the backline or the forward line (if you're going guns and rooks). So I think the backline is better and has historically had better scorign rookies with more job security. Also it is important to note that Forward Line premiums are a bit easier to get to (i.e Kelly, Boak, Heeney) as opposed to defense premiums where you wouldn't be confident starting anyone outside of Laird, Lloyd, Whitfield, Crisp and Witho who are all more expensive than their forward counterparts, giving you more money to spend on better rookies.

Holy **** my team is in disarray, it's been a long 20 hours

Is it risky pairing just one premo and 2 mid pricers with the 3 rookies though?

I get what you’re saying though. Defender rookies look far better than the forward rookies

Chayce Jones or Atkins? Scoring value? Job security?

Also, Collins and Gawn v Ridley and Goldy?
