Teams Your 2014 SC team Version 1.1

[toxic]

Put mcdonald in the mids so you have the dpp link with grimes perhaps

why????
trading rules means dpp links are not anywhere near as crucial

 

[toxic]

playing around with ruck risks makes for some interesting cash left over to play with

 

[rocker_oz33]

Can I carry over my 12,762.900 over from the last season.

 

[karaoke]

B - McVeigh, SMitchell, Hanley, Suckling, McDonald, Scharenberg (Fuller, Langdon)

M - Ablett, Pendlebury, MMurphy, DBeams, Thomas, Martin, Tyson, Dunstan (O'Rourke, Taylor)

R - NicNat, Sand Islands, (Nankervis, BBrown)

F - Dangerfield, Martin, Wingard, Franklin, Hogan, Bock (Gartlett, Markworth)


Pretty standard from what I have read so far,

probably Murphy as M3 is weak link (?),

Can't argue with any of that mate, very valid points all of them. I am sure a North supporter could shed a little more light, will McDonald actually play from rnd 1? And who will he push out?

I think I am just pissed at Tippett cause I took a risky punt on him late last year and he burned me lol.

Daisy I just don't like as a person lol, but I guess if he is fit and firing I can't pass on him.

Speaking of Boomer, I had him all last year after he came back from suspension and was the best pickup all year for me. I think he will dominate again next year, especially with Nicky Dal in, I cannot see him getting the tag over Wells and Nicky.

McDonald will play very early on, Rd1-Rd3, Imho I think he will play round 1, a lot of people don't realise Luke played for the Werribee tigers VFL team this year, and impressed against the big body players. His final series was very impressive gathering 26 disposals and kicking 1 goal and 2 behinds against Essendon. He racked up 24 disposals and kicked a goal against Casey in there Semi final clash before Werribee got kicked out in the preliminary final against the Hawks where he got 21 disposals and a goal.

And disagree with you on Boomer. He will get tagged everyweek just like every year before him, he is our most damaging player, sides just can't afford to let him get the ball anywhere forward of center. Dal Santo will be the one who gets freedom imo.

My latest

Def: Bartel, Mitchell, Grimes, Swallow, Suckling, Kolodjashnij (Mcdonald, Tippett)

Tippet's rookie-listed and behind Thompson, Grima, Hansen, C Delaney, Firrito, and maybe even Curran. Surely Giles or Fuller more likely to play and cheaper to boot?

I hope Tippett is being put into so many teams mainly because they look through the list and go "Hey, Joel Tippett! I know that guy!" or he's just a placeholder. At the moment you can't tell which rookies are a good selection so you use placeholders.

Tippett doesn't have much chance of playing this year, and even if he does, he won't score very well. A million better options than him.

 

[longytap]

Ummm - Start again would be my first thought

+1 back to the drawing board

Yeh I sorta threw himn in to finish off, he is now laidler with another couple of changes

 

[Mad Sainter]

Anyone liking Steven Motlop from Geelong? 82 Ave in his first actual season playing, played 21 games

 

[Mad Sainter]

And also Rhys Palmer? Was Brilliant at Freo can he recapture it?

No

 

[Mad Sainter]

yeh thats what i thought as well

 

[shotgun_blues]

The Carlton players are doing my head in. Murphy, Gibbs, Robbo.

All have potential to be top 10 in each position and therefore a steal at those prices, especially if Carlton push top 4. Gibbs averaged 107 as a 22 year old, Murphy has had a 116 season. Robbo's PP/Min is very high.

On the flip side all 3 destroyed my 2013 before it began. I really want to go 5 premo mids and Thomas (with the aforementioned 3 players).

Am I crazy?

Yes, yes you are. I wouldn't have any more than 2 Carlton players in the mids.

Okay here's a rough team, one of many:

Hanley Birchall Malceski Suckling Grimes McDonald (Fuller Tippett)
Steven S. Selwood Jack Beams McVeigh Karnezis Polec C. Beams (Morabito Ellis)
Mumford Sandilands (Dericx Currie)
Dangerfield Cloke Franklin Clark Bock Rohan (Garlett Taylor)

 

[Super Hans]

Just did a little work on what I had.

Mitchell, Murphy, Thompson, Simpson, Kolodjasni, McDonald
(Fuller, Giles)

Ablett, Pendles, Rockliff, Beams, Martin, Tyson, Beams, Sheed
(Dunstan, O'Rourke)

Minson, McIntosh
(Nankervis, King)

Dangerfield, Franklin, Parker, Pavlich, Bock, Gartlett
(Kersten, Taylor)

Still a lot of playing around to do, though.

 

[Mad Sainter]

OK, so some pretty big changes from the last one, no higgins, NicNat, assorted defenders and a couple of rookie changes. Motlop is the real POD player that may shred it or crash and burn. I really struggled to find cheap rookie forwards, with Impey being the only one I could see actually playing beyond Garlett and JKH.
Not Sure if the ruck div is too weak but I think it will be a pretty common combo. I do have one Fwd/Mid and one Def/Mid swap in Taylor and McDonald respectively. Finally, yes, I realise that my team is currently loaded with maybes, Grimes, Swallow, Suckling, Thomas, Grundy, Sandilands, Motlop and Bock. But I've considered each of these players and the risk assessment that goes with them and I willing to take it..... for now

Well, for starters you don't have one premium defender in your defence (McVeigh), or you middle, Cloke and Franklin are two of the most inconsistent players Ive ever seen and I don't have either. Is the Grimes in your defence the melb or rich one? Tippett, is behind man other tall players at norf. I would try and fit another kid in the middle and put Karnezis forward for Clark (Martin, O'Rourke, Crouch). Also I would try and upgrade one or even two of Hanley, Birchall and Malceski. These guys don't have the same scoring power as Bartel, Walker, Mcveigh or Mitchell (except maybe Birchall at his best) you may also consider swapping one of them to D Swallow but that is more personal preference rather than a fault, if you think Malceski will saty fit then by all means get him. Hope this helps

Not sure I'd go with Murphy, Thompson or Simpson in def, you could get actual premos for less than 50k more or get players who are likely to be premos for 50k less, I think you should swap Mcdonald into the middle for Sheed and find a way to fit Suckling in. On the topic of the middle I'm surprised that you don't have any DPPs in there especially with the likes of Taylor, Garlett, Mcdonald and a couple others that can be DPP for you there. The Ruck, I think we'll disagree on because I don't like any of the selectiosn, not even Minson, to expensive for one year of good playing. HMac has possibly the worst body in history, far worse than Sandi's who is cheaper and a better premo at his best. Nankervis won't play this year, at all, you could get someone like Currie or Lobb or Brown (who can go forward) or someone else who is more likely to play, but I can understand why you picked him and obviously King is just the rookie who doesn't really matter. You could also pick Brown in the Fwd bt I think he'd be of more value in the ruck. I don't think Franklin will do tht well next year, if you want a Sydney forward get Tippett, he will only get the second defender and he will no longer get double teamed with the focus on Franklin, he will be like Roughead has been for the last couple of years, thriving under the amount that teams try to quell Franklin. Pavlich is just getting to old, I've got the feeling that his body won't hold up for very long. Hope I helped

FWIW & IMO-

Grimes > MMurphy (via McVeigh DPP)

Karnezis > JMartin

Steven > Ablett/Pendles

Polec/CBeams > cheaper rookie mids (ie 120-130k)

Cloke > DMartin

Can that be done $$ wise?

Rule changes?

Alright a bit of restructuring, not sure about it but it's all trial at this point of the year.

TEAM NAME: Lumumba Is So Fat

DEF: J. McVeigh, S. Mitchell, D. Swallow, M. Suckling, L. McDonald, T. Cutler (M. Fuller, C. Giles)

MID: G. Ablett jnr, S. Pendlebury, M. Murphy, D. Beams, D. Thomas, J. Martin, D. Sheed, L. Dunstan (M. Crouch, D. Garlett)

RUC: W. Minson, N. Naitanui (R. Lobb, M. King)

FWD: P. Dangerfield, C. Wingard, L. Franklin, D. Zorko, M. Clark, N. Bock (S. Kersten, J. Kennedy-Harris)

 

[rocker_oz33]

Dswallow is in alot of teams hes not really a premo yet.

Overall it is very good, a couple of small changes that I would try to make would be get in Kade Kolodjashnij instead of Cutler or a cheaper option is Laidler, woudln't want Cutler as my D6 personally. In the mid you might consider swapping out Sheed for one of Polec, O'Rourke, Morabito or Taylor, I just think that Polec will score more and the other 3 are all cheaper by about 40k. For the ruck, you might be able to scrounge some money by getting one of Sandi, Grundy or HMac (probably not the last one), and devote it to upgrading someone like Clark to someone like Gray or Motlop or Gunston. and on the topic of forwards I'd suggest getting Lewie Taylor instead of one of the two you currently have there, highly likely to play at Brisbane after the mass exodus and the need to keep kids and give them gametime, as well as the added flexibility of the DPP
