Rate my team Part III

[careyrips(I)]

This is my team so far.

What do u think about it?

I like the fact that you have gone for a different team structure compared to all the others but there are some potential faults. First of all you have too many high priced midfielders. Downgrade Green or Ball for someone like Masten or Armitage so you can free up some cash (on the midfielders you might want to look at upgrading both lewis and green, you can get alot better scorers at around that price). Cox could be a problem in the ruck due to his injury, he may not play well for a few weeks so id look to bringing in Kreuzer for Cox. If you do follow these first two bits of advice you will have a shitload in your bank so id upgrade Bartel to Swan, try and upgrade Burton for Tippet and try to upgrade Jono Brown because you dont know how hes going to play with Fev with alongside him.

 

[aideye1]

i reckon need to upgrade some of the backs.

downgrade hille to lobbe maybe? downgrade armitage to mitch banner perhaps?




my team:


DEF: Goddard, Carrazzo, Grimes, Hodge, Kenelly, Ladson, J Hunt (Maguire, P Davis)

MID: Ablett, Gibbs, Selwood, Masten, Trengove, Martin (Banner, Barlow)

RUCK: Tippett, Kreuzer (Warnock, Lobbe)

FWD: N Riewoldt, Franklin, J Brown, Giansiricusa, Gray, Dangerfield, Talia (Podsiadly, Dennis-Lane)

I was going to downgrade Masten to Morabito or Cunnington, but is 5 rookie mids too many do you reckon? want to upgrade Talia to Ziebell


any advice would be greatly appreciated

You don't have any keepers in your forward line (I don't consider Buddy a keeper). To start, I would downgrade Jolly to a cheap ruckman like Seaby or Hille. Downgrade Carrazzo to Josh Hunt and downgrade Swan to someone like Selwood or Mitchell. This will give you a lot more money to work with and fix up your forward line.

Cheers for the tips although:

Id prefer to have two premium rucks - i just see too much doubt in Seaby or Hille,

I already have Hunt, but would be willing to downgrade Carazzo for someone else to upgrade a forward.

and i'd like to have Swan or Ablett as my Captain from round 1. I see Ablett as more likely to drop in price, so i'm looking to upgrade to him later.

I do agree that my forward line has no premiums.

The way i look at it, the defence is where you have to be rock solid from the beginning so have filled it with guns.
Midfield is where cash cows/rookies will flourish and have added a couple of guns. Possibly could swap Ball with Armitage though, but i see guns in the forward line as the most likely to drop in value. Just not entirely sure about any big names being able to keep their value ie. Riewoldt and Chapman - too pricey; Didak and Davis - if they get tagged, their price will drop; Brown and Fevola - who knows, might cancel each other out a bit...

What you think about trading Carazzo for B Waters> then upgrading who for who in the forward line?

Haha I like it. Its an all or nothing strategy.
Playing 3 rookie mids and 1 fwd rookie. Personally I think it will more than likely not pay off.

But your backs are set and forget unless one gets injured.
3 Premium mids and 2 premium rucks.

The risk definately lies in your forwards and number of rookies your playing. You need 3/5 rookies to play in your mids assuming none of your other 3 get injured, suspended or otherwise. Thats a fairly big ask, and I would guess you would be looking down the barrel of a donut within the first 5 rounds at a minimum.

With your Fwd's theres a couple of concern. Rioli is under an injury cloud, will Rohan play? I have heard rumours Ziebell is either out of form or has some niggling issue. Dangerfield is also underdone and has an injury of some type I believe but should be right to play round 1. Add that to Buddy not playing round 1 and I see trouble.

To be honest people spread the risk around for a reason. You have 2 benchs on your backline (And Hunts not cheap) who will unlikely get a run, perhaps put Hunt on the field, give one of your premiums the flick and get a rookie. Your mids you can leave as although its risky you definately need the money in your Fwd's. Fwdlin Rioli > Premium ala Voldt, Pav etc I would also want to upgrade one of Ziebell/Danger/Rohan to a premium ($350k and above) You should have just enough. To me this spreads the risk out a little more and minimises the chances you will be copping a sweet old Donut.

Backline: Goddard - Do you see value? Id argue youve left out some others who offer value (improvement) and are durable while considerably cheaper.
Carrots - Its been argued he may not be 22 material. I would tend to disagree while he frustrates many supporters he probably is but he is a little up and down but keep in mind he may be dropped if what people say is to be believed.
Grimes: Risk v Reward, Playing midfield role in a side set to improve (although not to top 8). However he is injury prone and I would say at some point you'll need to probably trade him out or sit him on your pine while he recovers. Weigh it up.
Midline: Fairly standard to these boards.
Rucks: As above.
Forwardline: Talia? Is this the guy from Adeliade? I dont think he will get a run early in the piece. I would definately upgrade this bloke. where to do it is up to you? How much money you got left? Ablett to Bartel if enough would be a good option. Otherwise you'll need to make a call. I dont spoonfeed answers but I would probably look around at downgrading one of your top 3 mids to another midranger and use that money personally.

Goodluck

Personally I think you are assuming far too much risk in your forward line. I know Medhurst is supposedly over his issues from last year, but I think his big scoring is when he pushed up into the midfield. Is he really going to be able to do this with Swan, Pendles, Davis, Didak, Ball, OBree, Beams plus who knows who else. I like Tippett as a ruck, not sure as a forward though..

I would put in Gilbert for Scotland despite Scotland's form in the long run your better of with Gilbert or Fisher even. Otherwise solid backline
Good Midfield maybe Selwood for Thompson although he could score heavily with vince getting the heavy tag.
Rucks: Same as mine Solid

Forwards: Maybe Goodes for Sylvia and try to uo grade Rockliff and also TDL not sure he will get that many games but I think you could have a good rotation between Rockliff, TDL and Pods so it could work for you.

This is my first year at DT after being a SC whore so my info might be a bit average but here goes:

I personally don't get the fascination people have with Sam Fisher. He was good about two years ago but has been very average by premium standards since 2008. I'd rather spend the cash on another premium. I'd go Shaw.

Kennelly really isn't that great a fantasy player. He might raise $100k. Is it worth losing a trade for that? I'd get Ladson. He might average 80 and urn into a keeper. If not he'll make you a lot of cash.

Mids are fine but i'd chuck in Banner over Cunnington to save a bit of cash.

Rucks are fine.

Forwards fine.

My team:

 

[Audacious]

My team:

your going to cop a zero in round 1 guaranteed with that forward line. Buddy is suspended, and Rockliff is a risky starter. Your forward bench players are shaky too so you could cop 2 zeros.

Youve got the best midfield ive seen. Love the Boyd selection. Youve been able to have a nice midfield at the expense of your backline. Year after year i get bitten in the arse with the backline because there arent many good backline rookies who can fill in if one of your starters goes down or gets dropped. But if it holds up you will be laughing.

Goddard, Enright, Duffield, Grimes, Doughty, Dempsey, Hunt (Waters, Maguire)

[JJDEMON]

@ Audacious. I love the backline but considering you have 3 starting rookie priced mids (as I do) it would maybe be better to go with three guns (instead of just one in Bartel) as the other mids. Maybe downgrade either Grimes or Doughty and upgrade Ball or Masten.

Rucks and forwards are solid but I think it would take a injury to Brogan to make the Westhoff move pay off.

@ Sabre. Looks like a solid side except probably does need some more strength in the back line like you mentioned. I would trade Scully for one of the cheaper rookie mids and use that money on top of your 40 k to uprade the backs.

My opinion is this will be sent around our work league tommorow
I'll help you out though buddy

3 midfield rookies? Keen as spuds but I personally dont see 3/5 playing every week for the first 5 weeks. But you already know how I feel about playing lots of rookies.. Who knows I may consider playing a 2nd if all signs point to it.

Most other areas look fairly good. I dont like some of your choices in players (no value, possibly better options) but they all have there merits and are might work out well.

The 'ol 3 rookie mid structure - im sure you know the risk/rewards associated!!

Seaby could also be a risk - but also at the same time the opposite

Over all great structure for what you wanna achieve imo......saving $$$ on Bass i wouldnt advise tbh...ie my team >>>

Still deiciding on Hall - what are ppls thoughs??? is medders better or is there better one?
Whats the go on Fisher??? < Better options for me at his price ...with 13k ??
Obv hoping for barlow/hitchcock elevations.....also silvangi could be nice to down for Davis...

Any other advice whould be handy,

Thx

Both have been in good shape through the NAB Cup, although i'd put my money on Medhurst to be more consistent, and he's less risk of having a brain fart

 

[RichoGun]

Hey any thoughts would be appreciated! Some changes that have crossed my mind have been:

• Swap Seaby for Cloke in Ruck
• Get rid of Peake for Dalziel
• Perhaps remove Farmer for Jay Nash as well

Any other thoughts please share !
