[James]

He will be lucky to score 1900 and i think his team has probably done better than what it actually is.

Had he started Bugg, Magner & Kennedy he'd be looking at a 2200+ score though.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Good team LemmingMaster. Good to see you giving 3 premium mids a go this year.

I like your structure. Having 2 premium rucks is the way to go. Don't want to have sub worries lol

Your backline didn't fire this week. Any regrets there or do you think it will bounce back?

 

[normski]

Selwood, Pendlebury, Thompson, Stanton, Gibbs... All were considered for selection for a number of reason based on price to upside.

quality post as always. appreciate the time you put into sharing your thoughts.

curious to hear why you went with swan if upside was a criterion for selecting mids

 

[Director]

No offence, as your a star of dream team, but if that team was posted in the 'post your team' thread under a different name, people would say it is complete rubbish.

Good luck with all the risky picks you've gone.

PS. looking forward to hearing the reasoning behind the team

Haha, probably fair enough too!

I do realise the ruck set-up is insanely risky. I actually think Giles and Redden can both average 70+ and have good job security. Although even taking that into account - I'm going to have to rely on luck for them to both play through until a time when I can upgrade them.

I was also hopeful my mid-price defenders could all average 70+, which would be a great return on what I paid for them. Obviously I'm not going to get all of them right, but I've always got the option of downgrading the crap ones to a well performed rookie before the price change. Christian Howard was putting his hand up even before his injury.

Mids and forwards both look ok? I've got eight DPP fwds without a mid link yet, but the plan is to eventually bring a Kerridge/Zorko/Pfeiffer/Couch in for Magner/Shiel/McDonald.

Close... 1993 . Crap though, yeah.

Although I had three players start or end as sub, one go off injured and had three hundreds and a 90 on my bench so there's maybe some scope for improvement.

Okay, Okay, my side of Hacks!

Remaining Cap:


DEF: G Birchall, B Goddard, M Golby, G Broughton, H Shaw, B Ellis, B Lake, T Bugg, S Morris

MID: G Ablett, S Pendlebury, S Mitchell, J McDonald, J McCarthy, S Coniglio, J Magner, D Shiel

RUCK: S Mumford, J Giles, J Redden, O Stephenson

FWD: N Fyfe, P Dangerfield, S Sidebottom, A Goodes, D Martin, D Hale, J Porplyzia, D Smith, T Dickson

After round 1, have to say probably a couple of premiums short!
Said on twitter during the week that no Tarrant probably would hurt my "no Buddy" strategy and now with no Scarlet (likely), it sort of has killed my reason for the strategy (unless the AFL continue their Vendetta against Buddy for that sling tackle in first quarter that could be looked at). Goodes didn't help the situation by going half hearted against the Giants.

My forwards were all about one Mark/Kick/Goal away from fine scores (apart from Fyfe who I can live with his score for now).

I don't know if Hale will work. As said above, was a goal away from working. I tried other things but I like the idea of having Hale as a backup to the 3 Rookie Ruck strategy (which I can activate around the Bye rounds).

McDonalds suspension and Magners injury could really hurt. Lake....enough said. Lets give him another week. And I have missed many of the best rookie performances.

I was considering the delete button until McCarthy at least did what I needed. Lets hope he keeps it up for 11 more rounds at least!

I am ready for the "I told you so" calls! I just answer, No Guts, No Glory!

Could be in trouble here

B – Goddard, Deledio, Shaw, Fisher, Broughton, Lake, Morris (Ellis*, Docherty)
M – Ablett(c), Fyfe, Chapman, Scotland, McDonald, Shiel (C.Smith*, Magner)
R – Mumford, Redden (Giles, Stephenson)
F – Goodes, Pavlich, Zaharakis, N. Riewoldt, Porplyzia, D.Smith, A. Kennedy (Hall*, Couch)

Starting with $322,600 in the bank and also electing to start two rookies who didn't get a game in round 1. What's the logic behind these two decisions?

 

[ZergMinion]

Tarquin, what's your team name this year so I might keep a closer eye on whether the glass is half full or half empty? (it's half full at the moment, no thanks to Ellis and Morris).

 

[m0nty]

Couch is a big chance to debut this week, given the performance on the weekend and Neeld's comments.

Rookie start/sit decisions are so important, especially this early. Difference between 20,000 positions.

It would have taken you a long time to search down to the rankings list.

I have decided on Vinegar Strokes EDT this year mate, so you can follow me all you want. Needless to say the start has not looked good. Injuries and suspensions are happening in the section of the ground where I've taken the most risk and the premium midfielders have all come out firing.

 

[LemmingMaster]

quality post as always. appreciate the time you put into sharing your thoughts.

I just purely selected in my midfield two midfielders who I think will average the most in Ablett and Swan. I then picked Murphy because it was a 50/50 call between him and Selwood and I prefer the Blues. There were also some other reason, but Murphy got the nod.

I think Swan had a bad night and still knocked out 100+, I have faith in his LONG term scoring power. The Pies were playing the Hawks, so I am sure when they come up against say a Richmond.... His scoring should improve.

By the looks of these teams I should have picked James McDonald! Any coach not worried that he may be rested during the season and the histrory of players coming back after a year out isn't that great (Tim Watson the exception?).

Cheers.

I don't expect McDonald to play out the full season at his age (although he appears to be in great shape) but at his price he should be viewed no differently to a rookie in which we want him to play the first 8 odd games (the more the better) and then cash him in. What makes him such a great pick in my eyes is he's a mature aged recruit that we know he can handle AFL level and preform at a pretty strong level (averaged 94 in his final season in 2010) and is in a weak side that will require players like him to play.

Unfortunately for me and those that have picked him is he'll miss the next two. However that's great for you as it gives you a few more weeks to check out your current rookies, if one isn't preforming/not playing and McDonald follows up his first match, you could choose to make a sideways trade and jump on before he starts to rise in price.

Thanks for that. I would have picked him except other than Cox I had a rule of nonone over 30 as a bit of a strategy. I also picked Luke Parker which means I lost out of the McDonald inscident as well. Tom Ledger is in my team and my have to go if he doesn't play but I am hoping he is in this week.

Four of the eight teams listed don't have Franklin, which I find eyebrow raising.

The famous coaches will have to answer, but I assume they were banking on a slow start. Could have worked if Tarrant and Scarlett didn't miss the first two rounds.

There is a long and twisted story behind that selection, I still don't completely agree with the concept, but it did allow a certain rookie to move into the field.

 

[Ziebellion]

I think its a poor miss and clearly some of them in their on groups have formed packs and made this decision as a group. Some in the group would disagree and some would agree but certainly a correlation.

Its funny because Tarrant and Scarlett don't even play on Franklin. Reid and Lonergan or Harry T get the jobs usually on Buddy when these teams play.

Franklin was in sparkling touch in the NAB, he also had a better run than people gave him credit for. I think he plays Adelaide next who dont have anyone near capable of stopping him especially if Rutten doesnt play. Eagles have Mckenzie i think he scored 127 on him last time. Buddy has had some 80's and 120's verse Sydney so Grundy/Richards could be a decent match up for him.

Did he also pick Lachie Neale to get McDonald's 98?

Not sure about this selection, Neale was more about securing his future scoring potential.
