All sounds good in theory.

The problem is there's a rookie out there that none of us have talked about, and he's going to absolutely kill it.

And there's also a rookie that we've been all over for the last 3 months, and he's going to end up being useless.

And there goes 3 of your trades, jsut like that.

With midpricers you at least know what you're going to get. No nasty trade burning surprises. Worst case is that they pump out the same average, you lose no money and don't cop donuts.

I think this year theres a fairly good crop of midfield rookies that you can have that are capable of giving you your 50-60 points a week and make you some good cash for upgrades later in the season. There is some element of risk involved but if you look at past winners of this comp over the years theyve all taken risks on the rookies / premiums setup and not the conservative approach

Don't get me wrong, I'm not backing one strategy over another. I go where the value is. At the moment I'm DEF/2P,4M,1C(2R) , MID/2P,2M,2R(2R), RUC/1P,1M(2R), FWD/1P,6M(2R).

Anyone who's picking players to conform to a 'winning' strategy, not based on where the best value is, has lost dreamteam before it started.

If anyone is starting a rookie defender and forward this year, I can't see anything but donuts coming. And for each donut you get just adds to the average you need from your premium upgrade.

Also do a search through last years results for players that played over 20 games and had the biggest average increase. You'll find that quite clearly it was possible to win the competition by about 500 points without using a single trade for the year. I'm not saying midprice will win it, only that it's possible and gun/rook isn't the only way.

You would certaintly hope so! He is a ball magnet so the ideal player for your bench.
 
The main problem with the gun-rookie strategy this year is that there are no abvious rookies for the backline and even in the forward line it looks a little thin. It may change in a couple of weeks though.

McVeigh

- Averaged over 63 twice in 10 years

- Missed 19 games in past 2 years with several different injuries, including soft tissue

- Will turn 29 this year

- Suspended Rd 1

Outside of that he looks solid.

that and the fact he just managed to pull a forearm swipe at naitanui's head on friday

almost certain to get suspended again this year

Know midfield but TDL with a 5 bag hall in a club intra.
 
Do people think that Montagna will have the same sort of year that he had last year? He avg'd about 112 or something.

That is the difference this year to last and changes the dynamic. Last year most people probably had 4 rookies starting, they just spread them through backs, forwards and mids. This year I will be loading up my rookies in the middle, probably have 5 with 3 on the field, though possibly even 6 with 4 on the field. It allows me to basically have my backline and forwards in place from the start, this year without the Hills, Subans, Browns and co in the forward/backs I think it is very risky to rely on a rookie back or forward on the field.

Basically I will try and make up the difference in other positions by having an extra premium at both ends or possibly both as forwards while getting a slower start in the middle, though I hope that one of my rookie mids will be the Palmer, Selwood or Rich that there is generally one of each year that is the rookie that is good enough to hold until round 14 or so.

The problem with this is that you may get left behind in the mids a bit. Not having at least 3 or 4 high end mids early on can be costly imo.

Yeah it sure is the worry with it. Hopefully by getting the likes of Riewoldt and Goddard in other spots, who score like high end mids, I will make up for that drop, those guys that I would otherwise be sacrificing to have an extra premium in the middle.
 
Conney has more up side out of that lot. wouldn;t expect much of a change from watson, black or bruce. although all quality. Boak could do well. Conney is pretyt much guaranteed not to go backwards barring injury

All those midfielders are heading into premium status or have been premium throughout some stage of the career. They are at least definite keepers is what I am saying. I think with so much on offer in the midfield this year in comparison to other postions then you should be looking to make your midfield the weakest. I currently have a midfield of Gibbs, Selwood, Armitage, Masten, Trengove and Martin. Thus my structure- 2 premiums, 2 mid-pricers, 2 rookies. The hope is that at least 1 of the mid-pricers will turn into premiums but personally I wouldn't be surprised if both did.

I would look at addressing your structure in the midfield this year with the lack of defenders and forwards at the lower end of the scale. That is just my opinion though :thumbsu:
 
Just wondering what would be the better midfield combo – I already have bartel

1) Montagna & vince – last year average 115 & 100 = 4649 total combines
2) Corey & selwood- last year average 106 & 103 = 4240 combined
My this, i know option 1 looks better but montagna & vince had breakout years (averaging 85 + 75 in 2008- will their 2009 form continue? Or are the two Mr. Consistents in corey & selwood be the better option-with selwood possibly improving once again

Thankyou in advance for everyone’s reply.

Great player average DTeamer, has missed 24 games in 3 years due to various injury. Has the potential to be a great DT but durability is a worry. If he has a good run who knows.
