Have done some tinkering
Whitfield down to McDonald
Milera to Cumming
Cunnington up to Treloar
Happy with it. Gone from 2 mid pricers and a premium to 2 premiums and an expensive rookie/ low end mid pricer
Not sure if you're looking at the correct data.Im not sold on McDonald at all. Never been a big scorer and only really scored well for a months block last year from rnd 9-13 (which stil included a 63 in there). Outside of that he still has 10 games scoring 70 or below for the year. Adjust that to 85 and 10 games below 85 for a premo is too many.

From round 7 last year he averaged an adjusted 110. Huge for a defender. Prior to that he was tagging in the midfield hence the lower scores.
I won't be picking him but certainly see the merit in chasing that value and high scoring
Agree here. Stew for just 40k more looks the better/safer option.Im not sold on McDonald at all.

Lloyd + Walsh
v
Oliver/Steele + Stew
I agree but you could just as easily take out his tagging role games and his average makes him a top 5 backHis average is largely inflated by 3 big scored of 118, 121 and 123 unadjusted. Outside of that he only had 2 other unadjusted scores over 85.
Adjust his scoring and that’s still only 5 games for the year he’s hit 100 with 3 big scores of 135 plus. Take out his 3 outlier scores and he had an average scoring year.
might be another of Whitfield night on the pingasBruised liver? Wtf? That’s the sort of thing I’d use as an excuse for calling in sick to work if I’d had a few too many the night before....
“Sorry boss I can’t come in, I have a bruised liver”... “Yeah yeah ok mate sure you do... sleep off your hangover and we’ll see you tomorrow “ is how I see that conversation going.
Anyway, my misdemeanours aside, surely that’s a line through him to start the year now, even if he does play in the pre season game? An interrupted PS turns me off anybody but when it’s a gut runner like Whitfield then it’s full on panic stations.
Oh nice to see my players are changing it up this year, gonna get injured before the season even starts this time to spice things up.
Love it, gotta keep it feeling fresh.
Greaves is a left field one I’ve also been considering. He did look great in those 3 games last year, however is a mere 3 games enough exposure to take a punt on @ 530k? Priced at 70 you’d need him to average at least 85 to be worth it which is a big ask.I've had Whitfield in my team since October but his liver injury and the fact I decided to stick with reliable week in, week out players, as per my 3 year totals page posted earlier, I can't do it. Like his mate Kelly: averages high, but misses too many games.
In the last three years he has scored approximately 650 less points than Lloyd but with almost exact average totals: ~300.
So, he is gone.
One of my (only) best decisions last year was ditching Docherty early for L McDonald. He was excellent. Sounds like the role is there again as he has been dominating similarly in match sim this pre-season. I am also keen on Luke Ryan again. After starting with a demoralizing 29 he was great for the rest of the year and his role should be more Fantasy friendly.
My shortlist has about 140 on it at the moment so there will obviously be changes, but this is my team at the moment. The most contentious is Wingard. On the surface, it is dangerous and stupid, but apparently he is dominating clearance stuff at the moment and there is no doubt that if he is predominantly mid he averages 100+. He has gone over and around 90 3 times and last year it was 84 (67.5) from mainly a forward role. In the last four games his cba's increased and he averaged (adjusted) 91.5. Good enough when priced at 84 and hopefully he goes better. Pre-season games for him will be interesting indeed.
Just need to trim $26,000 off to be under the cap. As I say every year though: at round 1, it will be, put the must have rookies on the field, and then fill in the rest.

At least Harmes/Milera have the runs on the board and come in cheaper.
The concern I have with McDonald is that Ziebell is likely to be playing a similar role this year. Luke could get pushed into a tagging role more.I've had Whitfield in my team since October but his liver injury and the fact I decided to stick with reliable week in, week out players, as per my 3 year totals page posted earlier, I can't do it.

Yeah ideally would have liked him sub 400k as a H Young alternative.Agreed - it's his price that put me off him. 3 games should not get you priced at 530K.....
Averaged the equivalent of 88 and priced with a discount at 69. I've never seen a three gamer look so comfortable and apparently killing it in training. Could also swith to Day who apparently is doing likewise.Agreed - it's his price that put me off him. 3 games should not get you priced at 530K.....
One for the practice matches. There's other options. As I've said: it will all be determined by how much cap is left after the rookies are put in place.The concern I have with McDonald is that Ziebell is likely to be playing a similar role this year. Luke could get pushed into a tagging role more.
Won a couple of school-yard fantasy premierships when he was 15/16, that's as far as I got on the way back from the gym this morning. There will still be some more to come.Anyone listened to the Hately dt talk podcast and want to provide a brief summary?
