Happy Straya Day kents!

Starting to get that warm SC feeling. Cannot wait for some footy.

Geelong 1992-1994?

For someone who didn’t follow AFL in the early 90s as I was really young please explain

One of the highest scoring teams ever seen, but they also got scored against. Said in reference to your backline which looked pretty thin. Good looking midfield though

Something like this I am thinking.
12 premos
6 rookies on field.
Poverty forward line.
4-5-2-1 set up.

 

[Rustymagoo]

5,400 left over. appreciate any feedback. Gone for a value packed forward line because the forwards always suck and only one rookie forward on field this way.

Nice team mate.
A lot depends on Witts.
If he is back to his best he will be golden for you.

Done. Not logging in again until first lock out.

Nice team.
Looks solid.
Day is an interesting pick. But at d4 the risk isn't too bad IMO.
What do you expect him to average?

Fully fit and off half back i'd be shocked if he averaged under 85. Would be hoping for around 90-95. Super smart footballer who rarely wastes a possession.
His 5 scores in 2021 are easily explained.
The 122 and 112 speak for themselves. The 55 in round 2 was injury affected after breaking his ankle early in the third quarter (so was easily on track for a 90+ score). Played just 10 weeks later following surgery and understandably struggled for 2 games after being rushed back into the senior side.
He should smash that injury affected average of 79 with his eyes closed.
Also averaged a solid 71 in his debut season despite having the build of an Auskicker.

Okay I can see what you mean I have probably got too many mid price players in defence I’m hopeful they work out but it’s probably not realistic that’s where the extra trades help and I think they’re probably more likely to get games over rookies

Thanks, will be paying close attention to witts in the preseason and may need to turn him into someone else via going Sicily to day instead.

Can Sicily and Day exist in the same backline?

 

[Blackhawk42]

Can Sicily and Day exist in the same backline?

Yeah. Different players. Scrimshaw is the one who might be most impacted.

I'm expecting (like most Hawks supporters) that one of Scrimshaw, Day or Jiath roll up onto a wing at times. Or Impey becomes a Campbell Brown style small pressure swingman. Sicily can play much taller than his profile height suggests also.

This concept is being floated a lot on the Hawthorn board

B. Hardwick Hartigan/Frost Scrimshaw
HB. Sicily DGB Impey
C. Day Mitchell Jiath

We'll know more about Sam Mitchells plans once the practice games start.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

first go, have no idea on the cheap players yet. Wouldn't know who's a chance to play or not. Need to do some homework

Why so many from the last bye round?

FECK THE BYES.
The afl is just as likely to change the round teams are playing in like last year.
I want these premos playing for 22 rounds. I'm not gonna not select someone because they miss one awkward round.
Especially if its the last round of the byes and I have extra weeks to fix it.

 

[TempletonTheRat]

have pared my team back to Guns and cheap rookies with a bit of value in forwards

how to best employ the $200k - hookers and coke?

I would hold the 200k.
Upgrade a mid rookie to some midpricer if not enough rookies present.
Nice team though.

Agree. Upgrade a mid rookie to someone a little more expensive. Maybe Stevens out and bring in N.Daicos to start with..

Experimental side of "what if everyone was either under 200k or over 500k".

For all my bye planning last year, 2 or 3 injuries (and AFL curveball) threw the mix out by the time the byes rolled around - I’m not going to pay much attention to it this year, either.

Round 8 or 9 I will start worrying about it.
To much water to go under the bridge between now and then.

Seeing a lot of people load up their backlines and neglect their forward line structure.

I'd have thought the opposite is the way to go. Feels like there's been a considerably greater amount of defensive premos over the past few years, and hence a better chance of picking one up on the cheap. I know after the past few years I'd have more confidence filling out my backline than my forwardline. I know there's a lot of midpriced options, but people are putting a lot of faith in players with injury problems churning out decent scores consistently.

Curious to hear some counter-arguments on that front though.
