So after swearing I would go back into retirement last season i've gone and done a sausage mumford and thrown my hat back in the ring.... nothing like trying to throw a team together at the last minute when you havent been following anything at all over the off season....

From a bit of a quick read up on the rookie pool (or lack thereof) and my early season issues last year i've gone hard on DPP, although a couple of them had to come out already.

Hi all Big Footy community. A new season to look forward to/

This is my team at this stage. Any advice/constructive critique will be much appreciated.

You have virtually no cash gen on your bench and with so many 102k picks, it's unlikely you will be able to sideways them to any half decent which means your structure will have to change somewhere.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Give me your thoughts please.

No Ward. Start again.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Yeah, I think I have enough money on the bench to do some shifting around and taking whoever's green.

Nice in theory as long as those cheap green dots don't make you turn green

Thoughts on this one guys have $36500 remaining

I'd say it looks like only 1 of your current bench rookies is likely to play Round 1. Good luck replacing 4 x $102k rookies!

Forward line needs a boost. Prob have to sacrifice a mid.
Could put Will Kelly back as will play soon or at least a floating donut. Put McCartin fwrd.

Going with a very similar forward line. Out of lines, I think it has the best value and the cheapest rookie options, so you can probably afford to go light there and use the extra to get Cripps.

I took Degoey out, bought it a rookie and took Dylan Stephens out for Cripps.

Put mccartin fwd for the swing with sdk (id cull whichever of the 2 hayes doesnt start R1-dixon can go to R3 if needed).
Not convinced on hinge JS but def rookies are hard to find.
Other than that a good team.

Yep, forward line is the only line where we'll get a few cheap green dots. Sure the scoring and JS is shaky, but if we're paying $150k/$160k for bench players in DEF and MID, then we need to take cheap option somewhere, and FWD is only line that might give them to us

I'd consider Rayner, Durdin (should play round 1). Chop Ports Hayes have Dixon or other Hayes r3. I can't see the 4 frwrd rooks making much $ or the r3 so will be pointless regardless how cheap they are. Rest of side looks great though!

Yeah, agree with you my man. Plus we may also have the luxury to loophole scores as well, ideally you don't want to field three rookies and rely on a potential loophole, but this year is a little different.

Worth taking a chance with Preuss IMO. Not too fussed about weak defenders as there may be breakout DPPs such as Ward/Pendles. 4 rookies on field with Ward and Daicos looking solid.

I was just thinking... If Preuss is the main ruck for Giants in round 1 with Hogan, Himmelberg and Riccardi as the talls/ruck chop-out, and Preuss is good enough to consider at R3, then you have to consider him at R2.

With a 90 average he's $400k by round 7 or 8, then you can grab the best option of Gawn/Darcy/Grundy.

Issue is if it fails, you're ****ed and you're season is over lol.

Not sure he can ruck for long enough to only go in with one can he?

 

[KurtNeverDied]

Preuss I'm really not convinced. Never scored well in past and wasn't solo today. Price is tempting but i see more a 75ish avg personally.

 

[JRyan23]

This is where we sit currently, may downgrade Brodie to a 120-150k rookie if one presents, then upgrade Sicily or Heeney to Short or Dusty. Structure set tho

 

[stevebbb]

re Preuss, I did some research before last season

There isn’t a single starting mid rook under 130K is there? Weird start to the season.

nope, not yet. The one's we thought were locked now in doubt. So yeah you gotta have a plan

If there are no mids under 130k full mid priced madness will get very serious consideration.

Reckon we will get Macdonald and Hough

Better than I thought. I guess it's more concern that he won't be sole ruck.

That's why I have English, who can be swung in to rucks. Whilst Preuss is playing I am getting Preuss' and English's score as against Gawn and a low priced rookie. Pies were winning the clearances with Grundy vs Flynn, but tiring Grundy struggled against Preuss. Preuss needs ruck back up as doesn't have a huge tank plus injury prone. Still Hall had a bad history before last year but ended up ok.

Yes good point. If you take Preuss at R2, then you need a RUCK/FWD like English or Jackson in your side, just in case shit hits the fan, otherwise season over basically.
