[madbomber8]

okay. started researching last night and still getting used to what rookies annd such are around this year. this is FIRST DRAFT.. so please, destroy it with your knowledge people, i wanna hear everything wrong with it.

iv gone with a really strong midfield and forward line, and a 2.5 premium backline one prem ruck and the rest rookies. im hoping the big gaps up back can all scrounge around 50-80, and are made up for by having a solid midfield, the rookies then get upgraded slowly in turn into better players to finish out the rest.

as i said, ill prob change this 100 times again, but this was first team i actually finished and pressed save team and looked at. let me know!!

BACKS: Godd, Lids, Burg, buntine, clark, smedts, wilkes (ellis, buagley)

MIDS: Ablett, Judd, Priddis, Selwood, Barlow, Conglio (gibson, pfieffer)

RUCKS: Mumford, Stephenson (giles, rowe)

FWDS: Buddy, Goodes, Pavlich, Cloke, J brown, Patton, Trelour (cooyou, walsh)

I really like the fact you have gone weak in the backline as IMO this is the hardest area to choose premiums this year, so a good move to wait and see and play the rookies. Wish I had the balls to do the same.

I don't like burgoyne as a supercoach player he is just to inconsistent and I can't see that changing this year BUT if clarko plays him off half back all year it might be a masterstroke both from clarko and yourself.

isn't Barlow still feeling sore in the broken leg?
has Spurr been promoted off rookie list (I have him too, but not sure)?

after much consideration , here is version 8:

Yep questions over Barlow for sure. I was tossing up between him and Hayes or a rookie, not sure yet.

Spurr as far as I know hasnt been promoted so its a wait and see approach but I'm confident he will be a permanent fixture if promoted.

FWIW I like your team balance Morabito I'm not sure about again a wait and see, if he plays excellent choice.

Lots of question marks over freo players this year. Apart from the 3 mentioned above you have:

Broughton - Does anyone know where he will play?

Sandi - Is he over his injury probs?

Pav - Can he continue to score well given age and probable permanent fwd move?

Fyfe - Can he score as well as he did last year given the returns from injury of a few guys in the midfield?

FWIW I think freo will be a top team this year so overall player averages SHOULD increase.

waiting on NAB Cup performances, hoping he isn't this year's Higgins.

Consider downgrading your least preferred premium mid (Watson?) and upgrading a defender (one of Morris or Ellis). Its always a lot easier finding value in midfield rookies, so use the selections wisely.

at least if he replicated higgins efforts he'd play 17 games, i'm more worried about grimes being the grimes of every other year...

Very solid team I reakon. I am a Hawks supporter and am always worried about Sam Mitchell in my teams. Yes, he does get a truck load of it, however, he loses a lot of points with frees against, hanballing more than kicking etc...
It does seem you have loaded your backline with prem players. I would suggest use that money on prem mids (ablett,pend,murphy etc)

overall a pretty soid team

backs: my only concern here is hargrave, imo he's never been a good sc scorer with a season high average of 97 amd 80 after that (and they were 2-3 years ago) I'd be watching him in the NAB, if lake slots back into the side i see no reason why hargrave could score any better than the past

mids: i assume you've made a deliberate decision to make more unique choices? imo not having ablett is a big mistake, he is not the most expensive player but imo will be the highest averaging player by years end. He's a gun and always gives you a safe captain choice. Imo if you think all the premium midfielders you have selected will finish top 10 (at least, preferably top 6-8) then it's all good

in terms of rookies, finally someone who knkws shiel and mitchell are injured!

Rucks: hmmm, imo of the 3 top rucks (cox, sandi, mumfs) sandi is the biggest risk. Cox looks way better atm (but is overpriced) and whilst mumfs is a injury/suspension risk i think this risk is greater with sandilands

Forwards: dont know much about ROK form so cant really make a comment here. got two breakout candidates in zaharakis anspd sidebottom, not bad choices by any means but be sure to keep an eye on other possible guys, for example if brown looks like he'll dominate pick him up and make some cash as well as points

not a bad option, i think downgrading one of sandilands or mumford to upgrade lake might work as well. Unless you really believe lake can go premium again, atm i havent seen any form from him thsat shows he can

I think that Hargrave will get back around the high 70's maybe low 80's this year and I think that is a good buy for 280,000 and he is the third tall option and may also benefit from being a release player now gilbee has hit the skids.

With Sandi you are 100% correct that the risk is bigger, but he had a poor year last year scoring low playing with that toe injury... I personally believe he is massively undercosted atm and he is the most dominant ruckman in the game... if he stays injury free which i think that he will, hes 125ppg at around 600k... you can t beat that.

for the midfielders, unfortuately i have tried to balance the team out but i will look to shift depending on how GC looks in the NAB, if they look like their midfield is settling then i will pick up ablett... he is the best midfield SC scorer... hands down

And if JB is going to kill it he will be taken in for either zaharakis or sidebottom, and the left over cash i will upgrade one of the midfielders to ablett

30 days left losts of NAB cup left... haha... but thank you for the feedback on the team

BACKS: Godd, Lids, Burg, buntine, clark, smedts, wilkes (ellis, buagley)

MIDS: Ablett, Judd, Priddis, Selwood, Barlow, Conglio (gibson, pfieffer)

RUCKS: Mumford, Stephenson (giles, rowe)

FWDS: Buddy, Goodes, Pavlich, Cloke, J brown, Patton, Trelour (cooyou, walsh)

Backs: as long as your sure all the rookies will get consistant game time there's no reason it can't work. I have a suggestion in the fwd line that may allow you to upgrade burg to a prem and still keep a prem in the fwd line, see later. Also on burg i don't see him increasing his average at all so to me he's a bit of a dud selection, you at least want a guy who has a chance of breaking out

Mids: have you gone judd as a PoD because imo he will be outscored by murphy. On barlow he's out for a few weeks atm with soreness in his leg. As such his preparation for the season isnt ideal which makes him much more of a risk. Surely soreness now could easily appear again during the bash and crash of the main season

Rucks: nothing wrong here, mumfs will be one of the top 2 rucks if he stays on the field

Forwards: imo if you wanted to upgrade burg you could downgrade one of goodes or pav to a fwd who will still score 100+ (ie martin, chapman etc) buddy, goodes and pav are pretty much the most expensive fwds (fyfes up there as well) so its like having ablett, pendles and swan in the midfield which i havent seen. Imo i would only take two of the three so i'd pick the one you think will drop in price a little. Of course if your happy with burg you dont have to change

tbh i'd only take hargave at that price if i thought he would average in the 90's. if you think he's gonna score 75-85 you arent taking him as a premium choice, more as a money making choice? imo you could pick up a rookie for something like 150k less who could average 60-70 and make a lot more cash

thats true, but its a hard choice to see backline rookies getting consistant game time this year... if he averages 75-85 he an upgrade option, if he averages more than hes a bonus and a keeper. Imo i think that 75-85 for 280k means that he will be a consistant performer and a later upgrade option through out the year... his ceiling is alot higher than his money suggests... look at his NAB stats so far... he is on the comback mate... jump on

but i can total see your arguement for a rookie selection instead of... but what rookie?

i feel like a have the 4 best rookie backline options available already for game time options

i see where your coming from im just saying IMO there's better options. in terms of his nab cup stats he's played two mini games... of which one was against gws, i wouldnt be judging him on just that. In terms of a comeback a comeback to what, he's never been a solid premium and given his age and injury record i personally cant see it happening. In terms of rookies i can think of a few, wilkes to name one, looks like he'll slot into the spot left by dawson

the beauty of sc is that no ones gonna have the same team. personally i take the guns'n'rookies approach means i dont really like taking players between 200-450k. Although this year im tempted by the likes of brown and kreuzer so i might throw one or two in

 

[John Flake]

Hey guys,

I have being playing with a few different selections for my team and was wondering which group is better (Group 1 or Group 2). Thanks in advance.

Group 1 Group 2
Lake v Enright
Swan v Hayes
Sandilands v Mumford
Sidebottom, Ballantyne v Pavlich, Porplyzia

Backs.. Obvious risk is Drummond. Rest seem OK.

Mids, Hayes is a cow only IMO so make sure you budget to trade him quickly. Kelly is an interesting call. Not for me but an interesting call.

West??? Can't see it happening for him.

Fwds are good. Zorko is out for the first cple of games.
