Teams 2022 Rate My Preseason Team

Nah I don't see the need mate, he's a good pick but you don't need every player who is good value

Agreed, but when I played around with my side bringing him in worked out to get me roughly 10-15 more points (if it goes the way I think ) plus I had more cash for rookies if need be. Looks a bit less sexy then having four big dogs plus Neale now but I think it should score more:

 

[JuddgementDay]

Yeah I agree with most of that. I have traditionally been a GnR player with minimal mid pricers. I feel Hewett (especially with Walsh out) can have a decent role in that Carlton midfield but a lot will depend on watching the game tonight.

I will see how this weekend goes but at least I have flexibility with the structure and can easily remove both of them. One other thing is we have an extra 5 trades this year - does that mean we can take more risks with our starting side? Or do we play it safer and if required after round 2 make more corrections?

I think the changes this year to SC will make it much more interesting and and the player prices:

1. trade boosts
2. extra 5 trades this year
3. additional DPPs throughout the year
4. not many cheap rookies atm
5. many enticing cheaper BO players, role changers, fallen stars, returned from injuries
6. Covid

Based on the above, IMO there's no right or wrong way to approach SC this year.
Just go with your gut and take the punches as they come

Vive la difference and bring on the carnage

It’s one of the better Rowell and Berry teams I’ve seen. The fate/success of Sic, Hewett, Berry and Rowell loom as pivotal this year. Can all 4 be a success?

I have all four.

Hold me, I'm scared.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

I've always been iffy on Ed's disposal by foot, but also thought he was capable of being a great player someday. Hopefully for your side it's this season that he explodes.

I'm keeping an eye on Jai Newcombe this weekend. He was super impressive against Collingwood last week and was playing as our number 1 midfielder for a lot of the first 3 periods. He'll always generally get decent scores through tackling as well. Only $260k and in 1% of teams.

Newcombe definitely left an impression in his first game (and season) and looks like he could be a decent POD given the opportunity available in your midfield. I highly doubt he will make my team but i reckon he has the assets to be a very good player and SC scorer. I'd probably rate him alongside Caldwell.

omfg this is the team. 5 big boy premo mids. Gawndy. 3 premo defenders. 3 premo forwards. Without loading the bench with sh*t rookies (i've just got Tex and dean there but i'll fix that doesn't matter). Will use this week to figure out my D2 and M4 as well as rookies but this is 100% my structure.

You need a plan for the defensive rookies. Kemp and Dean injured and Boyd unlikely. I just can’t see 3 onfield defensive rookies being viable.

 

[Soggy2112]

I have all four.

Hold me, I'm scared.

Sicily is pretty safe IMO, only worry is the injury but I think at his price it’s a risk worth taking.

Berry seems like an obvious choice, scored well in the past, right age to improve, appears to have a great role and was very good in the practice game.

Hewett I’m not confident in, seems like we’re just assuming the better role is going to increase his scoring but he’s still probably behind Walsh, Cerra and Cripps so I’m not sure.

As good as Rowell will probably be he’s still a third year player who’s played 17 games and is injury prone, too big of a risk for mine, maybe if he was priced the same as Berry.

 

[King_Steele]

Getting warmer..

3k left over - any feedback is appreciated

No Dunkley/JHF is a little worrying

Hewett is the one I m least confident. Lets see what he puts out tonight. Rowell seems like value to me, very hard to pass up for mine.

First real look at my team since Supercoach opened. Hoping to back up last years finish with another top 500 if I can somehow fluke it again.

Not entirely sold on a number of the players (Sicily, Hewett, Rowell, Titch, Coleman) at this stage. Will watch a lot of footy this weekend to see how they fare.

Have at it!

I have had something similar to this, but with a few less midpricers, but in the end I needed to drop Titch to try and reinforce more premiums and high end rookies in defence and forward. I think the JS of our forward and defence rooks is going to be poor early on, but after Round 6 with hopefully Daicos (D) and JHF (F), there will be a bit more coverage moving forward.

 

[JRyan23]

Ok so I have landed on this, 20k in the bank. Feedback appreciated. Only thing I see changing is Wingard down to Weller and Sicily into Crisp. Feel this is safer tho

 

[Deliverance]

Is it just me, or is there always just one spot on the field that feels not quite right, no matter how much you shuffle the last few players selected?

Dean's out for 8-10 weeks, so you'll need to grab somebody else, otherwise you're going in with 2 donuts.

Team is fine, no Macrae is interesting. Like the Brayshaw pick. Wingard I dunno, feel like there's better options for cheaper, but back your gut.

I just think if we don't get enough cheap rookies you're going to be panicking on at the last second. Like I'm saying to everybody, find a team you're happy with with like $100k or $200k in the bank, or a heap of expensive cash cows, that way it'll be less stress come the start of the season.

Yep, and it's emphasised more this year with the need to have so many damn high price cash cows. Really need to look for value, even if you don't like it.

 

[weltschmerz]

Yep, mine is F5, currently Ralphsmith. Could become Brodie, could become Coleman with Hinge/Milera/McCartin in the back line, none feel right.

Dean ded back to restructuring

Yeah I know about Dean, will change once I see a DEF rookie i like. Wingard is a massive POD, he went into the midfield late last year and pulled out 5 consecutive scores over 95, including two 130s. I feel he is a much better pick than other FWD premos, I will watch their game this weekend to make sure he is on ball, if not probably bring Weller back in.

Proceed with caution

Will Brodie is Paddy Dow 2.0.

Proceed with caution

What a great 1st post! Loved that

Can you elaborate though? Why?
Dow actually had a decent spell of scoring when he actually got bulk midfield time.
With Cerra gone and Walters confirmed playing as a forward, there's definitely a spot for Brodie in the middle. He's averaged 70 and 80 in the past, with a few 90+ and 100+ scores.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

l have been tinkering with my side after saying l wouldn't . Guess l had to much time on my hands...so this is what l have come up with and have $203000 cash remaining..Not to sure about this side though...View attachment 1337288

Well at least you have a heap of cash to upgrade your bench when the inevitable time comes unless you want to run with spuds.

I don't understand people not picking Lloyd either. He'll have all the chips to himself this year.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I think the JS of our forward and defence rooks is going to be poor early on,

Every Year, our Rookies come .....it is written !

l agree. However at the first sign of him being injured and out for even 1 game he's gone from my team and Lloyd comes in...

Does anyone know when Jack Hayes is available to be selected?

Dow was gassed half way through the second quarter. Brodie will be gassed half way through the warm up.

Brodie v Preuss would be a good watch on the track, running track that is. You’d need to have some time up your sleeve though.

McCartin possibly your only playing bench option, not ideal. Spend some of that left over coin.
