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

[WCEbrody]

Go Lukosius at 388k. Will score better than birchall imo

He'll play more games too, have been looking at him all week

 

[jackag24]

Everyone who didn't pick Grundy after tonight..

 

[Fitzey]

Agreed.

I think Gawn may do just as well this season but I won't be able to watch Grundy go 120+ tonight

I was so set on English until today, now I cant... Its tough

 

[jackag24]

He'll play more games too, have been looking at him all week

Yep. Been keen on him alot of the pre-season too. His JS is 100% unless he's injured.
And he scored 63 from 56 TOG, and 85 from 76 TOG in the marsh series

 

[happy_eagle]

Macpherson or Greenwood + $60k ?

 

[PAFC27]

Locked and loaded guys, good luck this season

No Grundy. Speakano IN

 

[Thistle]

Lukosius or Noble?

 

[jackag24]

Lukosius or Noble?

Lukosius for JS i think

 

[JADED]

Shuffled for Naismith at R3 after having him at R2 all year.
Can't ignore available green lights.

 

[VSTone]

this season will be so tricky... as soon as someone gets a sniffle they'll be locked down until testing is done you'd imagine, and if it crosses over a selection period - expecting plenty of donuts this season. (out: awaiting test results) type stuff is going to happen... enjoy the footy while we can i reckon!

 

[Fitzey]

Im set. No Grundy no worries isn't a thing I can tell you that. Im going to get a skin full of scotch into me so I lose ability to check the scores during the match. No Whitfield is also a risk but not paying up for them two makes everything feel stronger and I have faith in the midpricers I've picked (I think)

Final Side (I think)
Defence: Crisp, Smith, Houston, Docherty, Roberton, Cumming (Brander, Starcevich)

Midfield: Macrae (c), Dunkley, Merrett, Adams, Mitchell, Rowell, Green, Pickett (McInerny, Brown)

Ruck: English, Naismith (Cameron)

Forwards: Martin, Petracca, Brayshaw, B.Smith, Rowbottom, Taylor (Davis, Cavarra)

Utility: Buderick

 

[redrex94]

Nearly done.. a bit of chopping and changing still.

Macrae or Dunkley?

Mcasey or Madgen?

Macrae/Dunkley or Grundy (C)?

 

[Cotchy9]

Tyler Brown or McInerney? Will Brown go straight out when Treloar is back?

 

[Fitzey]

Macrae or Dunkley?

Mcasey or Madgen?

Macrae/Dunkley or Grundy (C)?

Flip a coin with Macrae and Dunkley mate, going to be close between the two.

Mcasey for JS, Madgen for scoring

Ive gone Macrae as captain but I don't have Grundy.

 

[Nicowalshie]

Geelong fans - Fort JS ?

Keen to know this too! He's just become my D5

 

[redrex94]

Tyler Brown or McInerney? Will Brown go straight out when Treloar is back?

I would expect so and therefore McInerney.. I have both but if I was choosing one I'd go McInerney.

how did you do this?

 

[Schnitzengruben]

The Traders usually use a rule that you shouldn't add anyone to your team who hasn't already *trained with the group through pre-season* which I agree with.

BUT

Is anyone else tempted by Elliot Yeo? Forgtotten how much of a contested beast he was.

Last year VS Melbourne, he scored 140 with 16 tackles at Optus..

 

[Mordecai]

Keen to know this too! He's just become my D5

I thought he was a forward?

Deciding between him and Townsend

 

[Nicowalshie]

F5, whoops.

F is next to D haha

 

[StickyMick]

I was so set on English until today, now I cant... Its tough

I still have English. If he out-points Grundy tonight (unlikely) then I'll put him as my inaugural BF profile picture.

Thanks. Here is my team then and I have $131k left, what do? B.Will > Brander then who to FWD, or Madgen for now and McAsey on bench.. or another upgrade? so close.

Def: Smith, Houston, Doc, Roberton, Cumming, McAsey (Star, B.Will)
Mid: Macrae, Neale, Cogs, Adams, Titch, Rowell, Green, Pickett (Brown, McIn)
Ruck: Grundy, Sauce (Xerri)
Fwd: Whitfield, Greenwood, Petracca, A.Brayshaw, Brander, Taylor (Davis, Cavarra)
(Budarick)

Petracca or Rowbottom? 100% which ever one I go with is the wrong call

 

[redrex94]

I went Petracca, but this is only a good call if he plays mid time.. Rowbottom looks okay and is cheaper. Does it change anything else? Being that Rowbottom is cheaper? If not I'd go Petraccca.

Petracca or Rowbottom? 100% which ever one I go with is the wrong call

let me know which you choose.....
