2020 Planning thread - a.k.a pre-season misplaced confidence and collective insanity

[mezaire]

Hmmm, Adams or Viney.....

Adams might score bigger early but when Treloar comes back and more injury risk.....Viney safe option?

 

[TheRednWhite]

who's Sparrow and why is he such a good option?

throw selwood into the mix as well, becomes a really tough choice

scoring potential: Tadams>Selwood>Viney
injury risk: Tadams>Selwood>Viney

Selwood best value for mine

 

[TheRednWhite]

Is Nathan Jones an option in the backline ?

Priced at 73 and last 5 years of 73, 87, 104, 98, 86
Fairly durable as well despite age.

he's on the decline and I'd be surprised if he averaged more than 80 tbh, so not much value

I've never considered Selwood all preseason and won't as I see no real pointers to a return to full inside roll.
Going Adam's currently as he is only 2% owned and is the most likely of the 3 to be a tops 10 mid at seasons end

I briefly considered him. I didn't catch either preseason game, so I don't know if he played his whole game time there, but FanFooty said he was lining up on a forward flank for whatever that's worth (maybe a Melbourne supporter could offer insight into their plan for him this year), and he was scoring extremely well PPM-wise which was what was enticing me. At his price, scoring like that, his usual durability, and with DEF status (and DPP) I was interested. But I'm more or less off him now given everything going on; mostly the potential for a ton of games in short succession at his age (32). Two years younger and I'm probably in, which might be kinda nuts given how much further athletes are extending their careers into their 30s these days. I hope a few start with him and he balls out. I'm all shaft, gonads aren't big enough over here

fair point, Tadams will average at least 10+ more than Selwood. If I knew he would play every game he would be a lock.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

From Selby's Guide, Marsh Update;

Goodwin looks like he wants Sparrow to play a midfield role, as showcased by his CBAs in the Marsh games. He's an option as a premium priced rookie if named in round one.

Perhaps Melbourne supporters may have a better idea?

[FlowersByIrene]

So no rookies named in the opening game about from the Marlion obvious one.

No Williamson this week for anyone who was interested.

 

[VSTone]

Have we had any call on the length of games...it's gonna get the plug pulled isn't it?

 

[Corby_4]

Round 1 going ahead as per Mitch Cleary and Damian Barrett

boooom

 

[VSTone]

16 mins + time on per qtr... changes things a bit.
hopefully there is some guidance on this before lockout from the fantasy perspective on how it will effect player pricing.

 

[Chris99]

Woohoo!! Let’s go!

Merrett or Kelly ?

Going to change everything, 1800 could be the new par each week

 

[Butterz]

Has someone made a list of all the PPM beasts in the AFL? Also needs to tick the durability box as well, players like Nic nat could certainly score well. But with the volatile nature of this season he could easily be rested with short turn around between games.

Basically look for players that have pumped out 50pt quarters in the past (now might be 40pt)
Players that have very few tonnes so far might struggle to 80 (the new 100)

Red Bull in the player water bottles please.

My mind is literally exploding, how are we going to deal with all of this in the course of two days!

 

[JADED]

Shit, just realised (duh) that there's less than 24hrs left til unlimited trades gone.
Not that we haven't been waiting for this point but I better give my team one last going over.

 

[Cotchy9]

Durability and PPM are sudden the 2 biggest factors for me

 

[Ohh Ok]

Even lower haha, if par is 2000, I’d say it’ll be 1600 considering we lose a fifth of the game

 

[Chris99]

Zach Merrett & Matt Crouch PPM Kings.

Tick durability also.

 

[Anzac16]

Hmm. Very interesting 24 hours ahead.

With Green named I'm tempted to go with a 4-0-4 setup in the midfield now...
