Quick Question -

I've seen it been asked before, but is there any way to find out Time on Ground numbers from previous seasons??
All I know of is the prospectus which gives their game time in minutes per game, not as a percentage.
 
Bowden + Birchall + S Lucas or Birchall + Mundy + B Johnson
Number one easily. That one provides you with 3 guys you can conceivably keep all year.
Basically Bowden is a lot better than Mundy, whereas Johnson is not as far in front of Lucas.

Starting Coughlan, Dyson and Palmer a bit risky? Could trade Coughlan for Murphy or someone similar but then i dont get a 400k forward :(
 
IMO if you get Coughlan you might as well wait..
Grab a rookie instead and then upgrade. Also gives you extra cash to upgrade in other areas.

I've got Bird, Muston on the pine. Starting Palmer....not sure if it would be wise to pick another rookie up.....i get the feeling the rookie talent of this year isn't as flash as previous years.

There's no doubt about that
 
Good win by the Saints tonight showing some good signs but I was a very happy as a Bombers supporter tonight...I hate saying it as I am an umpire, but some of the umpiring decisions were just shocking, and one example of that was when Alwyn stole the ball of Rix/Gardiner/King in the air and it was a free for push in the back...Not blaming them though, some sloppy free kicks against from the likes of Watson & Dick, but good win by the Saints, I feel very much robbed...:( Monfries had a little tussle with Armitage for the ball in the dying seconds of the last quarter, 50/50, and he got paid for holding the ball when he put his head over the footy, don't like it when umpires don't reward players first in for the footy...:thumbsdown:

Anyway, back to DT, Welsh & Armitage showed some potential tonight as big DT scorers, and Jones & Hayes showed their ball winning ability throughout the night...Wasn't a huge match possession wise, but players showed patches of form which could be pretty good guides into picking them for your team....Hawthorn v. Adelaide should be another cracker...:thumbsu:

Yes I thought we went extremely well considering we were playing against the Saints and the umpires.
 
I swore to myself going into the season that I'd leave him alone, but the more I hear the more I'm tempted.
He's looking very, very good and you know Sydney will go to him. I'll have to do some serious re-jigging of my team to fit him in though :eek:

I'm the same. I'm very very tempted.
Current forward line is:

  • Pav
  • Riewoldt
  • JB
  • Lucas
  • Deledio
  • Porplezia
  • Jetta
I've locked in Deledio and Porplezia so i'd have to downgrade a premium or upgrade jetta (but this means my forward line will be way too strong compared to backs, mids & rucks).

Maybe Barry Hall IS a premium? Once upon a time he was considered premium...

Thought?

wow thats a strong forward line. you must have cheap midds? or not have cox or cornes?

I've had Hall in my team from day 1. One bad year doesn't ruin a career as far as I'm concerned. If fit, you cannot ignore him.

Cox or Cornes, who is more "essential"? I vote Cox simply because he is a ruckmen and there are only two or three premiums, at best.
 
Who do you think some of the steals are guys.

atm i would say
Armitage 130k (young gun who has scored 80 and 90 dt pts in last 2 rounds, another good performance and he could well be starting the first 10 rounds)
Cross (worth more than 400k)
Hall 295k (coming back from injury capable of +90 for a season)
Nicoski 208k (coming back from injury)
Ellis 210k (young gun should play every game if no injury)
Hurn 230k (good form against Carlton)
Symes 260k (didn't get a run at Port but is an absouloute gun so he worth more than 350 imo).
Mattner 255k (see more game time/improvement)
Hawkins 195k (one to watch Pavlich like)
Roughead 220k (bit of a smoky see how he plays tonight against Adelaide)
Sellar 83k (good sources told me he will play from round 1, good forward)
Schammer 230k (coming back from injury good player)
Coughlan 195k (still haven't seen much of him yet.)
Bradshaw 170k (ditto to coughlan)
Vince 160k ( young forward will get senior action in 08)
Johncock 300k (coming back from injury capable of 350k price)
Mundy 302k (gun who was expected to peak last year, time is right)
Houli 195k (will see regular action)
Dyson 200k (ball magnet will see senior action all year.)
Morton 110k (gun good pre season form J.selwood like)
Henderson 95k (good preseason form)
Judd 369k (got to have if he is over his injury)
Goodes 365k (apparently having his best pre-season ever)
Pendulbary 360k (gun who will only improve)
Gibbs 250k (gun won't be a tagger anymore expect 80+ avg)
Stevens 236k (capable of 100+ for a season, must have)

Backline is crap, 4 players which you would have to upgrade by the end of the season.
Midfield is good.
Rucks are good.
Forward line is risky with Kosi, Thompson and Hawkins.

Do you have any cash left? Looks like you have heaps left.
 
none what do you suggest i do then? maybe trade Hawkins for Jetta, Kosi for Porplzia/Rusling then trade hurn and mattner and i would have 580k to spend on the backs like Kennely/mattner and king/mundy.
