Would be interesting to compare Mids DE changes in recent seasons

Rory Atkins had the best DE league wide last year for a mid. 84.09%
He was 35th for all positions.
The first 34 players were all defenders.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Less ball ups but those midfielders seem to me be attending all of them, all over the field. Higher number of players around each contest now.

I thought the stand rule was going to benefit outside players more than anything else, but it looks like they just put further emphasis on the scoring of contested possessions.

There had always been a few games each year where they would have already allocated the 3300 points before the game ended, but I feel like that was happening every week in 2021.

As a Cripps owner last year he must of been the only player who didn’t score well from contested possessions. He used to be guaranteed 100 points from 20 touches as most were contested.
But I agree with the last point. Someone may have some data to back this up or dismiss it however.

Owned Cripps last year too. His year was poor by his standards, but i thought he was scored very harshly regularly. Might have been bias since i owned him but i didn't feel the same about my other players.

I used to look at who gets contested possessions. Who gets the most effective contested disposals is who i now try to pick in midfield.

 

[Sherman41]

Think I need to get back to work. Team is getting more MPM each day.

[Dark Sharks]

As much as i like doing random large Chol things out of boredom by taking risks on players others have completely written off...


Started Cripps as a SuperPremo in 2020 for 635K, after averaging 117 in 2019....

And he puts out 20ppg less, to finish with a 97 average and a 472K haircut. That's on top of him ruining many captains scores that season.



I decide to be a cheeky kent and start him again in 2021, thinking he'll bounce back...

He repays me with a whole 2 tons for the year, an 82 average and yet another haircut, to finish on 399K



Cripps in 2022??

 

[freddy mercury]

Dropped my mid-priced defenders apart from Sic and Day and strengthened that position. Midfield is pretty weak but i rate all the <215k picks as genuine moneymakers. Preuss could be a trap but on face value i think he is a better pick than the <205k options on other lines. If first choice ruck he should average 80ish but i admit im no longer 100% sold. Forwardline is all about value, i think all 6 players ive picked there are underpriced, some massively.

No wonder why Jofra Archer isn't on The Ashes tour, blokes playing for Norf.

Gresham is just another Taranto pick for mine. Has achieved season averages of 79, 81 and 84 and the other three years all sub 70.

His best season average of 84 would give him a starting price of around 457k. His 2021 starting price is 299k. So absolute best case scenario he's discounted 160k and has missed pretty much a year of footy. Won't be a keeper.

Prefer others.

Are all those $200K + picks going to ave 80-85 points to make you $150K ? .....and how long will it take B4 you can cash in your asset ?

11 "keepers" ..... that's 22 of your 30 trades used in upgrades .....concussion and Covid protocols may (will) slow down your upgrading process

Just some random thoughts over a Bourbon

View attachment 1302561

So Gresham needs a 95 average based on this rule.

Yeah. Nah.

 

[Jiska]

Absolutely and then you have kent Coaches who f#ck with players like Highmore and Flynn who could have been the greatest rookies of all time nearly

And then there's Horse.

Gould - any ****ing danger?

 

[Jiska]

I don't trust sicily and I think he's lost his spot due to injuries.

 

[Jiska]

Version 6 getting there slowly.
Preuss is gone now have 2 premo rucks.
12 keepers if Butters isn't a kent and 4 midpricers

I reckon Neale at M4, Berry at M5 and a premo at F3 is a better structure personally. Plenty of MID cashcows and FWDs are weak this year, especially after all you flogs have jumped off set and forget Dustbin. I shall miss the rages.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

I want to go pure Guns and rookies but even Im not that cra cra to try that shit this year.

We will see as we get closer to round 1 but if we gonna have carnage then having the most flexibility might be the way to consistent scores. Only thing I see changing that would be if most rounds are best 18 as I cant see them allowing 5+ trades per round outside the trade cap just so teams have a chance at a playing 22.

Anyway with that in mind this is a guns with a few mid prices thrown in.

Liking Lloyd this year. Done trust Ziebull and Hall to back it up just last year just yet.
Rich is tough will play all games, highest scorer in DEF last year, has done the tag thing already. Solid.
Whitfield for 500k is a bargain. Only thing is will he play 22 games. Probably not.
Hurn is just under 500k but we all know hes a premo when he plays. If he misses again Ill just keep Roughing him back in so yeah whatever.
Gould. I will carry this campaigner to his grave or mine.
Other DEF rookies looking solid early on for games. Please go easy on our Anoos SC Gods you POS campaigners.

Macrae LOCK. Few times now.
Miller is had last year. Just cant be tagged now. Reckon Rowell back helps him. Might go Steele yet not sure.
Laird. Guy goes under the radar massively. Wont get tagged much. Roll/coach wont change. Plays every game.
Neale. Bargain really. Cant see him sucking this much again for a while.
Rowell. I have him in because he has he potential to become a M8 keeper no probs.
I might turn him and Willie into a premo/rookie instead.
MID rookies Ive loaded up on. Wont start them all unless I ditch Rowell. Leaves me with plenty of room to move with selecting rookies closer to round 1.

Darcy will average 150 this year. LOCK
NicNat will have another great year. Hes missed two years due to knees so hes got another AA ruck year in him.

Dunkley LOCK
Butters should improve a tad.
Cogs biggest FWD LOCK of all time.
Rioli Im pickinh because he will have something to prove and will play every game. Might make 100k at worst and at best end up a F6 keeper. Gives me time to concentrate on other issues.
FWD rookies all look like playing or at least there will be four that do.

Dont know what else to say.
**** SC
**** Covid
**** the AFL
Goodluck campaigners for what will be a brutal fully lit AF season of carnage that will make even the most seasoned SC campaigner cry

Yeah. Nah.

Taranto did Average 97 last season, I’ll take that from Gresham.

The extra mid time is what makes Gresham more appealing.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Rioli make 100k at worst and at best end up a F6 keeper.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Hes gonna be a Hurn like POD for us isnt he

 

[Shinboner1]

we'll see

Someone's hacked your account. Next team you post that doesn't have the C on Hurn gets you a ban.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Tried to make a cookie-cutter team but ended up putting my own spin on it. Would be brave to go in with a midfield this weak but id love this backline

Now for my 'ultimate MPM team'

That LDU Kent caused me so much heartache last year!
Can play the game though. Surely goes 90+ this year.

Not sure about his scoring but by the end of last season he was playing good footy. If i go for a mid-priced midfielder it will likely be him or Serong and IMO LDU has slightly more class than Serong...although Serong is a gun contested player too!

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Every second game there were nuffies in here moaning about the scores not going up at the end of matches.

Yeah. Nah.

Gresham should get to $400k, can be sideway's then if needed, anything better and he's a keeper. All depends on how much midfield time he gets. St Kilda need a bit of class there as other than Steele it's spuds and kids currently.

Risky pick, but could pay off.
