[WaynesWorld19]

First draft for this season.

I don't mind the way this team looks.

I was going to fade Macrae but with the Phillipou news he in my team now.

Really like this side Nelso ....with Naicos having foot issues, it appears you only have one (C) option .....is that a concern to you?

Will toggle between Naicos and Xerri as perma capt.

Silver lining is Travaglia starting to look like might get early chance- Howard had a dislocated shoulder- so depends on how bad

Only thing is, it appears Trevaglia is going to start as a Wingman ....we would have preferred, at his price, to start off HB

Darcy Wilson got to $418k by round 11 last year playing wing. And that included a 25 in round 3.

A warm body.
Is better an a cold one.

It's an expensive warm body though

 

[rocker_oz33]

Fwd keepers - define?

Top 6 forward?

JHF
Rankine
Dylan Moore
Luke Jaxon
Liam Baker

I see these 5 as F1 to F5 in the best average fwds for the season

Bakery role at WC ?
Watch list.

Depends on Def wooks.

 

[Me Myself and I]

15k ITB.

Bit optimistic I think with only two on-field rookies. Be good if it comes off. Trying to avoid any of those 170k+ ones. See a situation where say 4/5/6 are named. Then it's how many do you start with and which ones. Bit of a lucky dip. They seem an even bunch with no standouts. They'll be boom and bust amongst them.

Defence bats deep. SDK (replacing Phillipou) there now but depending on role whether he stays.

Five deep in the mids. Two of them good PODs. Didn't take any notice last season so was surprised to see EAllan only played two games. Pies need fresh blood in their mids. Hopefully Sharp gets a run. Demons need some pace in their team which he has plenty of.

Not decided on R2 yet. English there for now.

Forwards going light on. Not interested in JHF at his price. Moore has burnt me previously so he's a no. Don't rate Rankine. Think he's too much show, too little substance.

Rankin a gun.
But each match to a different beat.

What's the game.
The game inside the game .

 

[Andrewy]

Not sure if Boyd at flex will work but it helps with team set up.
Taranto over Rankine at this stage.
Briggs / Jackson due to price vs potential.
Only $14k in bank though.

You must have missed these 10 scores in a row that Rankine had last year when he was playing:

I think you’ll find necrophilia is generally frowned upon in most areas

Izak a gun.

Numpty nicks does not know how to use him.

For the most part, heavily reliant on goals to prop many of those scores up. Doesn't mean he couldn't continue doing it, but there's a reason high accumulating full time mids are preferred if available as forward options. It's a more reliable source of consistent scoring.

Rankine will be at least 60/40 split CBA's this season.

Nicks has no other choice to play him in that type of split otherwise he will be not coaching next season.

Version 10 or so.

Really would appreciate some feedback/help with the following:

Keep tossing up between Moore and Rankine at F2, Izak burned me with injury/suspension last year but he has the ability to go huge.

English continues to have a body made of glass, do I keep the faith or swap him for a Xerri/Meek type?

Anything else that stands out with the team would be great!
