Teams 2022 Rate My Preseason Team

With that many players from any team, if COVID strikes, you'd be in big strife.

The thing is the Lions have already been effected by Covid if anything they’re probably the safest team to pick players from

I keep coming back to this set-up for some reason. Ideally a cheap(ish) Fwd rookie will present for F5 so I can hold 100k in the bank for corrective trades. But apart from that, I'm happy to go with these 14 keepers (including Cogs) at this stage + Curnow and most of the higher end rookies on-field.

Not too much to dislike there. I am leaning toward Neale at M4 as well. Just seems to balance the side much better. Degoe and Butters the risk because they need to take that next step to be worthwhile. But most of us will be risking these types T Thomas etc.
Do you see Grundy matching Gawn? Or still 5-10 points a week behind?

Pretty similar to mine except I have Rowell instead of JHF. Had to take a hair cut in the forwards with Rayner instead of your De Goey.
I’m expecting my team to be a bit cookie cutter but that’s usually a bad thing.

Depends how much Jackson improves.

Gawn could get DPP....

I could tweak mine so it has both De Goey & Rowell

Out: JHF, Curnow, Sinn
In: Rowell, Maginness, Dean

Not sure it would score any better than the previous version though.

Going with a 1 keeper per club at this stage, prob need Perez to get a game for it to work.

Forward rookies are the issue. Not sure on Butters either.

Rowell seems better value than Butters. Both injury risks. Rowell 100% locked in the mids. Butters might move around.

Port need to give Butters and Rozzee some mid time.
Boak getting older .
Wines is a beast but he needs help in there.

Rowell prob scores more than Butters.

But butters could be a top 10 forward.

Where Rowell won't be a top 15 mid .

Thoughts? I think I might have gone a bit crazy in mid price madness forward line
henney is a toss between thomas/butters/heeney

12 premos.
4 midpricers
6 rookies on field.
Not to shabby.
With 4 captain options in the mids having only 1 ruck captain option is manageable.
I like it.
PS I would do Gresham to Curnow as Gresh seems injured.

The first team I have seen without Macrae and Seagull.
I think you need them.

Extra $$$ are always hard to come by, but by all reports Sic is back to his best at training.

Another on my list

Not bad.
I think a Rioli or Rayner type are more of a chance to be keepers than Rowell but I understand the attraction.
I really like the forward line. f1-f4 I can see 100 averages easily.

This will be the way to go I feel. Rooks suck

rioli or rayner in their positions might he higher ranked but rowell outscores them both surely

Yep spot on.
I call it the Tarranto rule.
They may be cheap but they are sub premo's
Get the forward imo. 85- 90 average is easier to attain.

The first team I have seen without Macrae and Seagull.
I think you need them.

Not starting them is a big risk of course.

More than likely I end up starting the gull as I will probably get cold feet on Heeney/Dawson combo, but if I dont start him I dont think it will burn me. The swans had a more attacking style last year and as a result his average dipped from previous years.

Macrae you do need but not at 700k, in the GF he split CBAs with Treloar and if this becomes a thing in 2022 the 700k starting price is way too much. Steele at 685k is prob overs but there is no risk to his role at all whereas there are very slight question marks on Macraes as bulldogs arguably can form 2 distinct A Grade starting midfields from their group of mids. Only takes a 4-5 week run of 110-115s for his price to come down a bit as well.

I reckon having 2 big pods against you is a massive risk.
Clearly you have thought it out though and you reasoning seems sound.
Heeney started last year on fire. I thought i was some sort of sc guru having him until the injury.
He has a 100 average season in him I think. Maybe its this year IDK.
If he gets mid minutes I will be grabbing him i reckon.
Doubtful though due to horse.

Mills eventually got mid minutes after years of teasing, Heeney will one day as well just hope its this year.

 

[morningbrown]

Would love some thoughts on my current team. This is probably my fifth or sixth version already.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

It is hard to get the balance right.
For example in defence.(Rioli the only viable midpricer I can see)
View attachment 1320336
It is easy to pick the top 6 scorers from last year and let the rest of your team suffer.
Like bringing in Crisp for Sicily looks great in isolation.
I try to base my selections on who has more upside at there current price.
On the other hand its also dangerous to set and forget your defence and not take the top tier guns. (what would be the point?)
Its a balance.
Hai_Newman went with 6 keeper defenders last year, and got it spot on.

Plus I gotta fit in Hurn.

Hes D4 in my normal team. Might make him D6 and be done with it.
Theres gonna be injuries. Theres gona be suspensions. There's definitely gonna be covid shenanigans.
Trade up and all that when the need comes.

Load up FWDs and RUCKS a bit more.

Ill make a team tonight and after Ive finished beating up my chol over it ill post it here

I get your point, but the dog's centre bounce got smashed when it mattered in the GF. Really can't see them favouring Treloar when Bont/Macrae/another was their formula all year and worked well.

He is probably priced at his maximum but will be a top 3 mid and you won't get him cheap during the year due to his consistency. Easier just to start him.

14 premos + 2 midpricers.
I'm pretty happy with this one.

Is this likely to be the structure you're going to run with. Will be very interesting to watch how it goes. With the 2 down 1 up to get a premo mid, you're gonna need 18 rooks almost maxing out to get the 6 mid keepers you're looking for.
Also, if your forwards and backs are already "full" then break out players like 2021's Hall, Ziebell, Tex, etc. won't be an option.

Very interesting.

Love it - mainly because it's different and with a fair bit of thoughts put into it
