Position 2023 PODs

[Blackhawk42]

A player I can't believe isn't in more sides...






A player I love watching who I can also justify the selection of...

With these ridiculously high ownership numbers of certain players, what's a POD these days? Under 20%?

Yeah, too many SC influencers out there - nominating the same boring players

Yeah the SC community is huge now. Definetly one factor.

Another factor is that in the last few seasons, mid-pricers have been doing really well. So if you go against the pack and don't take a mid-pricer, and he starts like a house on fire, you're screwed trying to get them in. It's now riskier to leave these high ownership players out, than it is to pick them.

Also these damn expensive cash cows. I remember only a few years ago the average price of rookies was like $130k. Now it's closer to $150k. It's forced similar structures, which means you're forced to take less premos, more mid-pricers.


Rookie lottery and tradies will split the pack.

Jelly, Day and Cole. Maxy is only 11% ownership too

and Bytel are my only PODs.

I am also wondering about the POD non-picks.

Which popular player haven't you picked?

Mine is Taranto. I ended up taking Tom Green

over him.

 

[Spacedog]

De goey, Kelly and Cunnington for me

Jack Macrae at 13% is entering Pod territory as well which is crazy to me

 

[Scythe94]

Barring last-minute changes, I've got Clark and Jelly under 10%, Darcy, Dawson and Worpel under 20%.

Guess it also counts as a POD going Neale over Laird and Oliver.

 

[Petrify]

Neale & Ridley for me

 

[pincrusher]

I have 6 players between 240 and 350k, yet only one of them is under 10% ownership. Hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet. Currently mid only. Should get DPP round 6. Lachie Ash.

 

[cznsnowy91]

I didn't end up starting any genuine PODS. I have Cunners and Jelly as my biggest PODs but they aren't that rare. Probably should have tried to start a real POD for a bit of fun, wanted Bailey Dale

Touktouk is a good one if he fires off early. Can't wait to get him into my team.

The irony of everyone announcing their PODs publicly before final lockout……….

How many of the 150,000 read this forum? 1%?

 

[JT_the_Man]

Setters, think the bloke can explode playing as an inside mid with high gametime

This one.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Setterfield is my main one at 4% (higher than I thought it would be). Not really afraid to say that out loud, I doubt many people who aren’t already on that train are going to be boarding it now.

Barring rookies my next lowest ownership is Touk at 12%.

My non-selections are probably my main POD. Players above 50% ownership that I don’t have are Taranto, Hopper and currently Sheezel (yeah ik he is a rookie but there aren’t many players over 50% to begin with). Also fading Rozee at 49%. Yeo would’ve been another big one on this list.

I want to jump on the Setterfield train but the choice is a really tough one.

Do you think Rozee/Setterfield is a better option than Fyfe/Tom Green?

Tough one. Fyfe/Green is safer imo.

 

[pincrusher]

where's the anti POD thread? I have 13 players with more than 50% ownership. Ashcroft has topped 80%. I've never seen that before.

What ARE we allowed to talk about then? TV scheduling?

It's not likely anyone will put a POD in just because you, or I, or any other kentie has them is it? They deserve everything they get if it is.

That being said, Jelly has went from 6.2% to 7.9% after my preaching yesterday. Guess you could say I'm an influencer

Honestly I probably wasn’t going to take Ashcroft if we had half decent cheap mid rookies. Which we don’t.

Yes but you actually know what you are doing.

And Jords and DRSC are frothing him lol
