Teams 2025 Rate My Pre-Season Team

[A Bit Dusty]

Just a heads up kents if you didn't know you can copy & paste you team in one go clicking on this.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Take the value and the rookies where they appear. The tagger is back, most top mids dropped stinkers last year and had huge price dips.

Steve, just the one (C) option ?

Plus i can see Rozee spending more time at HF this season …. no facts, just a hunch …. or my arthritus is playing up again

Hard to fault, prior to PS games ….. maybe move Pou and / or Smith to FWDs ….. the mid rookies will be historically better than fwd rookies

Lynch at 32 yo has a poor annual average history …. hard seeing him being good value

Why did Short dip last year and why the love this year?

Not ideal not having more studs, but there's too much value to ignore this year.

Xerri is perma-captain, then I reckon there's enough VC options based on match-up (eg. I think JHF and Rankine will level-up and tear teams to shreds this year).

Locking yourself into lots of trades then and hope not a lot of injuries is the worry there

Maybe because the Tigers were worse, so less easy targets to hit up the field? He can be a butcher at times which doesn't help. I just reckon he needs to step-up in a young side. If he takes 1 or 2 extra kick-ins and 1 or 2 extra kicks from Rioli, he should get back over 90. I doubt he goes 95-100, but 90-95 is achievable and fine at D6 until later in the season. Remove the game where he did his calf in the first quarter and his average jumps from 82 to 85, so really, there's less to make up.

If I knew Perryman wasn't going to tag and if SDK was going to be the main ruck at the Cats, I'd take them ahead of him. Just don't see any other value in that price range down back.

That's why we love SC, lots of different opinions. There's also no right way to play the game, especially now with a million trades, trade boosts, and flex.

I 100% understand your point, but I reckon Rozee will return to ~110, Day will finally get his body right, Oliver will return to his piggy best (maybe not 120-130, but certainly around 110+), and Washcroft is a superstar in the making, the GF being his benchmark now. Then Peatling averaged 100 when he got more than 50% CBAs last year. I think he'll get 50% (or more) CBAs, so I can see him making $150k, then I'll sideways him to a premo whose gotten tagged or injured and dropped $100k or more (eg. Daicos was $566k in rd6 last year).

Matty Roberts?

Rioli gone is a big factor.

Should get most of the kick ins now.

 

[stevebbb]

Matty Roberts?

That finals campaign and the with/without Justin McInerney stat has turned me off.

This where rd0 ruins SC. If Roberts goes huge in rd0 he'll be in 40% of teams (currently 4%).

Move Pou and Smith forward. There will be better rookies in the midfield than Lynch and Martin.

Rioli didn't take many kick in's last year. Reckon it was more he couldn't be bothered in a losing team.

Why start a full forward line AND Helmet in midfield?

Most of you will be more across it than I am, with keeping in mind for those not yet aware

 

[Bushranger2019]

After a bit of thought settled on this.

With Coleman not likely to start early went for Schoenmaker. Word is he has a distributor role in defence.
Not convinced the Hornet will be worth the money compared to value picks like Parker.
Rookies are all best guesses at this stage.
Doubting the value of high priced rookies when players like Lynch, Powell Pepper, Gibcus are proven players and cheaper. (If and when they get on the park.)
