Rate my team Part III

[Hannabal]

No one rated these two so im posting again......Here's my teams im tossing up between, tell me what you think is better.... boys pick away!!

Team no. 2 for me by a fair bit. The rucks are much stronger, your mids are better and the second forward line doesn't have Franklin, which in my view is also better.

If you could upgrade Shaw to Duffield in team 2 it would top it off. But others like Shaw, so your call.

Strong team.

 

[Dugong]

Backs
Enright, Hodge, Shaw H, Thornton, Dempsey, Ladson, Hunt....Maguire, Silvangi

Mids
Bartel, Boyd, Mitchell, Mackay, Martin, Trengove.....Barlow, Banner

Rucks
Clark, Tippet........Warnock, Skipper

Forwards
Riewoldt, ROK, Gia, Franklin, Medhurst, Dangerfield, Schulz....Rockliff, Gumby

Backs.....Thornton...think he will get some good ball this year, as will Dempsey.

Mids....Think Mackay is going to have a great year

Forwards...Medhurst...still questioning, he can have some shockers and consistency is an issue. Schulz....smokie.....think he will get a run in Port, they bought him for a reason and think he is underpriced......

Any thoughts.....

 

[Dr Awkward]

This is a pretty good side.

My only comments are aimed at Natanui and Kennelly.

In my mind Natanui is an unknown and you are braver than me to select him, and you may well finish higher than me due to that selection. Kennelly is more clear cut, I'm not sure why so many people are on him? He will play 22 games but will not average more than 65 at best and will only net you about a 60k increase.

65 is not a keeper. 60k is not a cash cow. 265k is too much cash on the bench at the pointy end of the season.


I am sick of going around in circles with my team so I would appreciate some feedback:

DEF: Goddard, Enright, Duffield, Hodge, Greenwood, Hunt, Waters (Maguire, Silvagni)

MID: Bartel, Boyd, Selwood, Trengove, Martin, Barlow (Banner, Shuey)

RUK: Sandilands, Clark (Warnock, Skipper)

FOR: Reiwoldt, Pavlich, Higgins, Bate, Medhurst, Ziebell, Dangerfield (Rockliff, Hitchcock)


Many Thanks.

You are 100% correct about Kennelly, he has never even averaged 70 or more in a season of footy. Not a DTer.

Your side is great, only thing I would say is their is a slight lack of high end keepers for my liking. Just curious as to how many of the following players you expect to end up as keepers: Bate, Medhurst. Ziebell, Danger, Greenwood, Hunt, Waters. Personally I would try and get another superstar into the forward by donwgrading one of the above mentioned midpricers.

Any advices changes

 

[roosters11]

hey everyone, just wondering if the dt experts out there could offer me any helpful advice, iv'e spent hours on my team changing it over and over have read all the forums own the prospectus everything, and am after some useful advice that will give my team the edge over my mates.

be as harsh as possible

Backs: Goddard, Grimes, Hodge, H shaw, Malceski Ladson, Hunt (Maguire, silvagni)

Mids: Swan (C), Bartel, Boyd, Scully, Trengove, Martin (Barlow, Shuey)

currently tossing up the idea wether to start Barlow on the field insted of Scully and downgrade Scully to Jetta, Banner or Bastinac or whoever else for some extra cash to use elsewhere

Rucks: Clark, Kreuzer (Warnock, Skipper)

Fwds: Riewoldt, R O'keefe, Giansirasuca, Gray, Ziebell, Ballantyne, Dangerfield (Gumbleton, Rockliff)

Any other ideas please comment

Not a bad Dream Team....but who is going to contest the centre bounce?

 

[HowBoutThemDoggies]

Goddard Cornes Hodge Waite Malceski Kennelly Waters

Hayes, Gibbs, Armitage, Ball, Trengove, Martin

Didak O'keefe Harvey Franklin R.Murphy Hall Dangerfield
(Rockcliff, Dennis Lane)

Obviiously injury concern over Hayes, and the general wellbeing of Waite, but apart from that, any thoughts??

Personally I think it is a danger-riddled team that only Chuck Norris would have the balls of entering.

Having all of Didak, Harvey, Franklin, Murphy, Hall, Cox, Hille, Hayes, Armitage, Ball, Cornes, Hodge, Waite, Malceski, Kennelly, and Waters is simply put - a colossal risk.

I would only have the guts to field half of those players (In fact, my current team has only three of the above mentioned players).

Injuries, suspensions, reliability in the 22 - all those players carry the risk of letting you down in 1 or more of those areas. I would seriously consider changing your entire team around and look for safer options.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but I can see a team like that carrying 4+ zeroes at the business end of the year.

ah shit they slipped my mind, any comments?

 

[Cro19]

Why is no one going with Seaby as the ~230k ruck?

 

[roosters11]

Why is no one going with Seaby as the ~230k ruck?

cause he will average no more than 60

 

[Cro19]

cause he will average no more than 60

Will Hille be doing much more than that given his injury and Ryder being number 1 ruck?

or maybe I need to look at getting Tippet or Kreuzer as my second ruckman.

 

[Dr Awkward]

Because Seaby is a hack, and hacks let you down

 

[Papa Juggs]

Ok thought I would have another go and try to get some guns in the midfield.

Had to sacrifice Riewoldt and Hargrave.

Ablett will be captain not Bolton lol

Nobody rated my team

Anybody???

 

[Rod Stroker]

Why is no one going with Seaby as the ~230k ruck?

He's always been a hack mate, a change of jumper ain't gonna change that.

Surely there are better options around his price? NicNat? White? Goldy? Hille?

 

[Papa Juggs]

I'm guessing my team is too pefect and posters are scrambling to try and make something as good.

Personally I don't like it but that's probably because it's pretty unique. One criticism I have is your back line rookies. Lisle is doubtful to get many games and Webberly probably won't play first couple rounds so you have no backup straight away.

I'd also get rid of either Bolton or Sherman (probably Bolton) and replace him with a 300K player or someone in that price range. Maybe then you can upgrade some of your backs.

I have criticisms for plenty of your players but it's your own style so that's okay.

Fair call, I've just left my research a bit late, so trying to cram it in now. All ready done a bit of chopping and changing but haven't really touched my ruck area.

 

[Opportunity Cost]

I think Seaby could have a decent year, probably the number one ruckmen at Sydney. I do like NicNat at that same price as well. Not sure about Hille, bit of a worry with that knee and with Ryders form last season.

Only really problem worth mentioning is having waters on back bench you should downgrade to Maguire who will play 22 as long he as he doesn't suffer injury then you should have enouh to upgrade 1 or two players to keepers mabey hille to tippet, but I will leave it up to you. Also trengrove is unlikely to play after round 1.

 

[Rod Stroker]

If it's any consolation, I haven't bothered putting a team together yet, don't see any point until the NAB cup is over and it's closer to Rnd 1. This way you see who's in form, who's injured, who has a new role, and are generally better informed before exhausting time assembling your team. I have a pretty good idea on most of who I want in it but haven't started with the combinations in Excel yet. I'll wait till Freako's mail this week first.

Thankyou very much sir

I will take a look at those areas. A better backline is needed. I have to tweak things a little.

I think Bolton has been consistant and Sherman can popup with a big game. They are not really locked in as keepers yet. I'm stilling looking at Dan Cross or somebody a little more expensive as an option there.

I'm not keen on starting players like Waters and Rockliff on the ground myself. Even if they do play round one they could score low and be dropped. It's just a big risk.

Masten is sure to improve but I don't like picking mids from bottom teams at that price. He might get hard games in Melbourne and not score to your liking.

I do like the idea of having Pav and Brown. If they are kicking big bags of goals you will cash in on points.

Looks like a strong team.
