Coleman > Chapman and put the money on Butters/LDu for a captain
Can't drop Coleman from any side I create - kid is gonna crack 95+ av this season, without Rich or any other distributors down back in a Top 4 high scoring side. Back end of the year is what I expect, where he averaged 95 in his last 10 games (including Finals which is not included in price). At least 20 points underpriced for mine.

Locks in my side are - Sinclair, NWM, Young, Coleman, Curtin, Gibcus, Bray, Rozee, Butters, McKercher, Sanders, Sharp, J. Clark, Grundy, Conway, J. Macrae, T. Adams, H. Reid, Z. Duursma, Mannagh, N. Watson, Fantasia, D. Wilson.

Only 7 spots open to change - D4/D5, D8, M1, M5, M10, R1, F2/F3

Well, cats out of the bag now! How the hell did you know, haha?
Said with love, your posting style is unmistakable (and I mean that as a compliment). JADED wasn’t the only one who figured it out. Welcome back friend!

Now, feel like joining me for a journey into the turbulent waters of the main board??

I love Coleman but does it worry you that he has the round 2 and round 12 bye?

Well it's nice to be recognised I guess 🤪

Cheers! I'd much rather stick my balls in a blender whilst watching Fox News and listening to Meatloaf at the 2011 Grand Final on repeat, thank you very much :)
 
Can you shed some light on Tsatas?
The guy can score, if he is in the team and dodges the sub vest I see massive value in what he's priced at.

He got some CBAs at the end of last year, but he doesn't actually seem to need them to score as he can play an outside role.

If he is in the team and dodges the vest, I'll likely be starting him

Honestly, I've got a rule with this whole bye crap this year - anyone under 700K I'm fine with missing a week.

Grundy, Zilliams, Billings, Coleman, Adams, all fine with missing a week given their respective values and the fact I may trade them out anyway (think Coleman will be a possible Top 8-10 keeper though).

Gawn and Gulden are the tricky ones though, as they're more expensive and I may want to keep them. Still not completely sold on taking one or either of them in, but the rest I'm pretty locked into taking, as they're more value stepping stones than anything.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out, but I think it's very much a cost/benefit equation when it comes to some of these guys and their respective byes. In any other year, they'd be no brainers and you'd select them in a heartbeat. Walsh and Touk too. Alas, you have to just weigh it up as best as you can, and have a very deep bench if you're going to take some of these guys in to the season proper.

It's less about the Bye - but rather about whether an alternative can stack up much better.

I call this one '0 byes, 0 problems'
I mean, it’s cool and all, but it has a second year player who will probably be played out of position (Sheezel), a bloke that will likely get blanketed by the opposition every second week (Stewart), a bloke who the game might have passed by (Steele), a bloke who turns 57 this year (Guthrie), a bloke that can only run sideways and backwards (Matt Crouch), a bloke that costs about 8 million dollars (Marshall) and a bloke who has the most disgusting coach for fantasy in the history of the game (Macrae).

I know you were just putting it together to show what’s possible, but please let’s be honest with the name and call it “0 byes, numerous problems…” 😜

Seeing as you won't post your own while crapping on everyone elses, I present: Zevon's side - 'all byes, all problems'
Complete with Nick Daicos as captain

Finally reached a point where I’m settled. Been playing around the past couple weeks with how to tighten up my bench without completely ripping my team apart from my initial squad.

Happy with this at the moment. Especially with 3 rookies on field up forward I felt i needed the added security of a decent bench and have spent up there more than other years.

Taking a different approach this year and going for slightly under priced (hopefully become premo) mids rather than down back. Feel this saves some coin to spend up else where while they should still be pushing 105+.

In my best year where I reached an in season overall rank of 2nd I started with a strong backline so taking that approach again.

It’s a bit scary going without him, but duno if I can justify starting Daicos with a Finn tag and a bye in the first 5 rounds. Rounds 1 and 3 aren’t exactly easy either, Sydney and Brisbane
+1.

Decisions!

I’ve been trying to work this one out myself, thought I’d make an account to discuss it! This is my thinking, noting it’s reliant on Daicos starting well in Round 0,1 & 2.

Say Daicos goes 120 across the first 3 and then 80 vs Hawthorn (optimistic I know) he’d have averaged 110 in 4 games. I don’t think that’s out of the question based on Daicos’s trajectory.

If you choose another defender like a Sheezel, Stewart, Duggan etc they could score something like 100, 90, 100, 90 and then average say 95-100 in that time.

Firstly, selecting Daicos means you are around 30-40pts ahead before his bye. Secondly, with it being best 18 you should hopefully have someone available to cover Daicos and you might get a 50-60 out of a rookie, hopefully bridging the gap. Hopefully the rookies last 3-6 weeks before they usually drop away/start to get culled.

Now if you don’t have Daicos you can use that extra 100k elsewhere which might be super handy, but ultimately you’re going to try and get Daicos back in at some point which is going to require funds anyway. If you get bullets or rookies fall away, it might be hard to get Daicos in. Best 18 makes things easier.

I don’t know how much his price might get impacted with the two game price change (could be dramatic, could be minimal) but if he stays around 900-950k it might be tricky.

The other side of it is that you could get a mid in instead of using Daicos’s coin in the backline, but I like to use the midfield for those value plays, like a Setterfield/Worpel from last year, and I fear the backline rookies and mid prices might be harder to find than a 500k-600k mid that pops. Last year we had Sheezel help out big time. You can always move Daicos around between lines with DPP which opens up trade flexibility early if your mid pricers bomb in other lines.

TL;DR:

Overall I think it’s just easier to have him in, maybe cop a hit early but then over the course of the year you’ll probably make the points back (I think he goes 115+) and save the trouble of getting him in.

Just on this. You’re not actually that much ahead as you need to weigh up the cost differential in starting him over someone who costs significantly less and where you’ve put that extra money. Thats why it’s not so clear cut. If he averages 110 as well he will drop in price so theres the chance to pick him up cheaper especially after a bye and poor Finn score

100% that makes sense, I don’t know how the magic number works this year and with Rd 0 and Rd one, but that 100k could make a huge difference I agree.

I just think throughout the season would I regret owning Daicos? Maybe for a little bit if cheaper players go well early, but at least I still have Daicos already.

He’s probably going to be Top 5, can stash away early, captaincy option under a million and I don’t really want to be worrying about getting him in later in the season while 50%+ coaches own him.

He won't be easy to get in though either is a pro to starting him. Don't think he will burn people in 4 weeks or whatever it is. It will be the after when you can't get to him/other issues pop up.

I've currently got him but chopping and changing and with Grundy and possibly Adams on same bye means Gulden can't really be picked with Daicos. Gulden may be the better option, hard to say.
