Strategy 2023 Midpricers Madness

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Bruhn or Hopper?

Hopper will probably average more but i reckon Bruhn is a better pick as you can use the spot in your midfield that Hopper would occupy for someone you like more. What i mean is that midfield spots are at a 'premium'. If you cant find a midfielder that you like more than Hopper and you can find a forward who you like as much as Bruhn, then get Hopper.

EDIT: Hopper to me is a good 'safe' pick as he likely goes at 95ish but i dont see him being so good that he becomes a keeper in the midfield. Bruhn could become a forwardline keeper. So, it does depend on your structure but if it was me, id go Bruhn as i think i can find a really good pick in the midfield that isnt Hopper. Also, i do think both are viable options depending on how the rest of your team looks.

No more JK = lots of snags for Allen. Darling also not 100%. Plus he had 4 scoring shots in the preseason game.

I have him atm, as I am terrified if getting burned by the fwd rookies’ average JS

I don't hate the pick. I still think best case scenario he's a bench player that you hope for a spike game with a bag of goals to shoot in up value rather than an onfield player most weeks.

Fwiw in 2021 his last season he player 2 games without jk for 64 and 30. No JK also means he'll get a better defender.

 

[Ingy]

I count 7 mid-pricers in my team now. 3 backs, 3 mids & 1 forward. Just 2 days to go, can't bloody wait!

EDIT: I used a very rough template to work out numbers. For instance, i counted Green @ 530k as a mid-pricer but Im not counting Marshall (who is cheaper) because of the relative strength in each position. Marshall is more likely to be top 5% in his position than Green. I also counted Gulden as a MP in my forwardline. My backline MPs are all under 400k.

Tom Green isn't a mid-pricer mate.

Personally I think 450k is a reasonable cut-off, simply because you aren't taking a guy worth more unless you think he's a keeper, but then there's a 'bargain basement keeper' category between 450 and about 515k. Green's still definitely in the 'premo but not superpremo' category IMO

 

[Spacedog]

De goey will end up being the best mid pricer of them all

 

[Ingy]

He's only good at getting kicked out of New York nightclubs and being accused of sexual harassment.

Give him a miss

 

[marcmurphy3]

De goey will end up being the best mid pricer of them all

I reckon he goes 110+ but probably finds a way to miss 3-4 games.

Yeah, fair call.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

De goey will end up being the best mid pricer of them all

If he had DPP He would be in my team but too many options for a lot less money in the midfield this year.

 

[Significant]

Have settled on Yeo, Jones, Hopper, Flanders, and Cunnington. And not including Gulden because he is a future Brownlow Medallist.

Somebody slap me.

I’m considering going Hopper > De Goey

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Total shark move , the veins are throbbing

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Somebody slap me.

De Goey did look great in the PS Game .....can he do it consistently though

 

[JuddgementDay]

Any love for HClark?

I've put De Goey on my never again list at least twice.

Must resist the temptation....

 

[HTPunter]

Inside mid and wing you say

Early Walsh/Clug role would be comparable. Don’t play full games as inside mids, but get to show their ability there for bursts

Many thanks .....some reports there are 2-3 Rookies that could play R1, that didn't play in the last PS games ....could Wagner be one to play R1 ?

I’m personally pretty shocked Wagner has found himself back on an AFL list. With all due respect to him and the WAFL, state league performances are just that - state league. He also had a hamstring issue about 3 weeks ago although I’m unable to find how bad the tear was. I don’t think he’ll play round 1 based on that, but even if he does I really can’t see him being more than 4-6 game a year depth max, with a couple of those being sub role.

Any love for HClark?

[JuddgementDay]

My ten MPM:

1. Yeo
2. Bowes Clark
3. Jones
4. JDG
5. JHF
6. Hopper
7. Callaghan
8. Gulden
9. Fyfe
10. Flanders

 

[JuddgementDay]

why u ask ?

I believe he may finally have a good SC year and considering him instead of Bowes, but I have to find some $$$

 

[Cactus_]

Any love for HClark?

Not in my current draft but still definitely in consideration for me.

At the moment I’ve only got:

• Yeo
• Bowes
• Hopper
• Sheed
• Worple
• Cunnington

Plus a whole heap of overpriced rookies.

Would like to fit in one more ridiculous mid-pricer like Setterfield or Clark but if it’s tough to find a spot.

If Bowes isn’t selected for R1 I’d slot in Clark I think.

Could take Clark instead of Worple . . . but, I dunno that is the right call.

 

[Mofra]

I've rejigged my side and now Setterfield is in. This could be the make or break selection.

Putting the madness back into midpricer madness

 

[HTPunter]

Currently got Setterfield as M5.

If it all goes to shit - I’ve got 140k in the bank.

Gulden, De Goey, hell even Whitfield are sideways options if I get stuck at the higher end, while Hopper & Sheed are there if I don’t want to waste the bank.

Pretty happy with those back up options. Gives me confidence to roll with with a risk in Setterfield.

I can't remember your team, can you cull 40k on bench ? Seen a few teams with phillips and mackenzie,ppoo etc there.
