1. Macrea and Worpel or
2. Cripps and billings/tkelly

March 6, 2019 at 11:54 pm
cripps and billings for me just seems the safer option. However macrea and worpel could be the better option but unsure what you might get from worpel

It’s a good team. Similar to my own. You’re issue is you have too much faith in your rooks. Parker and Balta both on the field is the stuff nightmares are made of. Gibbons is also unlikely to play Rd1.
Ideally you find a proper F4 and push Setters back to F5. Everything else looks solid.

I see a lot of mid price madness there Mick. Williams and Roberton are worth the risk but not Smith. He has teased for years and always comes up short, yes I know he is taking a lot of the kickins but there is Laird and Milera back there as well. Crouch will be injured by round 3 and Fyfe might make to round 6. Too much injury risk. McCarthy played well on the weekend and I put him in my team for a few minutes before deciding the risk was too great … he might make to round 2 before getting injured. I don’t know what to say about S. Reid? You can run with a team like this in Fantasy but not RDT.
Jake
March 6, 2019 at 12:02 pm
IMO, this team is a complete mess. Even being very generous and assuming that Crouch, Newman and Williams all become keepers, you’ll still need nine upgrades to get to a completed team. I don’t think Crouch, Newman or Willams will be keepers, so really, that makes twelve.
I don’t have a problem with the Grundy/Goldstein Ruck combo, I think that could be fine.
You have a lot of mid-pricers, and guys with dubious injury histories. The most games Crouch has ever played in a season is 17, that’s just not good enough for RDT, and Zac Williams has never played a full season. In a limited-trade format you need guys who are reliable.
I like Duncan as a POD.
The biggest problem with this team, that I can see, is that you’ve gone for very expensive rookies. The only one I currently have in my team is Setterfield. McCarthy, Walsh, Butters and Hately are all ‘premium-rookies’ and I don’t think they’re worth the extra cash. At the end of the day, they are still rookies, and you can expect bad scores, and all it takes is one score of 30-40 to completely stop their cash generation. Whereas if you go for a guy like Constable or maybe a Will Hayes or someone, even if they do score a 40, it shouldn’t bottleneck their cash generation too much. Walsh is going to need to outscore someone like a Constable by 20-25 points to be worth the extra cash, and I don’t think he is. I would suggest dropping Walsh to Constable, Hately to Will Hayes, maybe drop McCarthy for Willem Drew, get in those guys that are basement-priced, because they will generate more cash.
Also, I’m not sure why you have Reid in there. Get him out. He won’t score enough to be a premo and there are WAAAAY better cash cows. Hopefully all this has been helpful. You don’t have to take my advice, but I hope you at least consider it. Cheers.

Jakes advice is don’t touch non premiums, or premium rookies, and only buy guys who are full price or at rock bottom,
And I thought you had half a brain on you…..
Mick Neill
March 6, 2019 at 1:06 pm
Well thanks for all of your advice, after writing this I played around with it before bed and looking at it this morning it is a different team. Fyfe gone for Oliver and Reid gone for Cameron. As far as the other advice about the rookies well only when the teams are announced will we see just who is right or wrong. Constable will be lucky to get a game once the Cats go to full strength and if he does his score will be alot lower, not having Walsh is too stupid to even discuss and as for having Williams, B.Smith they don’t have to play a full season just about 12-15 games to get max money out of them. B.Crouch is a risk as he is injury prone, but you have to take risks to get ahead of the pack. My team will change about a million times before lock out so to Jake I would like to see your team before you call mine a complete mess.I imagine yours is completely vanilla as you sit in the middle of the pack all year, I personally play for the fun with my friends and love to take risks just for the joy if they pay up….
Jake
March 6, 2019 at 2:30 pm
Fair enough Mick. Since you’re curious, this is my RDT team as it currently stands.
Team Name: The Harlequins
Cash Left: $57,100
Def: R.Laird, J.Lloyd, L.Whitfield, A.Witherden, J.Clark, J.Scrimshaw (C.Burgess, M.Hore)
Mid: J.Macrae, S.Coniglio, P.Cripps, A.Treloar, R.Sloane, C.Constable, B.Scott, W.Hayes (B.Bewley, N.Hind, M.Gibbons)
Ruc: B.Grundy, Z.Clarke (A.Smith)
Fwd: P.Dangerfield, S.Menegola, T.Boak, T.Greene, W.Setterfield, M.Parker (W.Drew, N.Balta)
I’m fairly happy with it. The rucks are weak, but I have a couple of plans on other starting combos that might work. My premos are weighted towards the later bye rounds, so that I can upgrade through the byes, and I only need 8 upgrades to get to a completed team, which is very achievable with 30 trades. Ultimately I think it all comes down to which rookies are playing, but I think a lot of these guys are decent chances to debut.
Thrice
March 11, 2019 at 7:05 pm
I have to disagree with your above comments Jake. If you don’t have B.Crouch in your team then you really are at a serious disadvantage. Capable of scoring the same as anyone 300k higher in price and allows for money spent elsewhere. There is a lot of mid prices and a real lack of basement rookies this year. I would be taking full advantage of Libba, Crouch, Williams, etc.
you have 3 mid rookies who may all potentially miss round 1. I presume constable the only real chance. I cant see zack clake playing round 1 so you may have to have to find at least another 200k upgrade there and Parker scored about 4 points in 3 quaters on the weekend.
If you have a problem with the reliability of Crouch then Im not sure why u have Toby Greene. I would say Crouch more likely to get a string of games than Greene.

Intelsonic
March 6, 2019 at 6:26 pm
looks solid aside from english, if he has a ripping game this weekend maybe but he was appalling against gold coast, id be looking to push him up to at least kruezer (if fit) or take the gamble on zac clarke if named, with the later though he gets dropped and its a complete reshuffle to get a playing r2
Crouch
March 6, 2019 at 10:35 am
1. Clarke R2 and Hoff F2 for back up or
2. Kruz R2 and Worpel F3

March 6, 2019 at 11:00 am
Neither? Clarke shouldnt be R2 unless Bellchambers isnt playing & Kreuzer isnt fit

March 6, 2019 at 12:36 pm
Similar to mine loch while also with certain differences,
I’m also running the same Midfield besides the M2, I cant trust English with the responsibility to pump out a 70 at a minimum, not sure if he’s worth it, also I’d be scared for Tim kelly’s Role now, just doesn’t seem to be playing that intensive pressure player like last season,
Love your forward pod tho, great pick. ;) I’ve lost a bit of faith in my own team of Sydney, Lloyd might not be worth the coin this season imo, definitely a watch this weekend

March 6, 2019 at 2:51 pm
Yeah option 2 ando but personally I’m starting all 4.
Fooz
March 6, 2019 at 2:00 pm
I think this is too strong in the Mids:
Macrae, Cogs, Cripps, Brayshaw, Taranto, B Crouch, Libba, Walsh (Constable, Bewdy).
It means that the FWD structure becomes:
Danger, Heeney, Setterfield, rookie, rookie, rookie (rookie, rookie).
I’d only brought Macrae in after JLT (#staystrong) but had been rocking with most of the rest. If Macrae becomes and upgrade target, then FWDs become pretty good, and there’s $200K to spend elsewhere.
Thoughts please.
Another Arctic Flying wombat Panda of Doom named Drowning fish
March 6, 2019 at 6:15 pm
Very similar to mine fooz, tho I lack Macrae and cogs, I’m not completely opposed to having only 2 premium forwards but you’d need to have a McCarthy and maybe anyone premium rookie on field to compensate,
Don’t want 3 170k rookies playing on the field in your fwd line and all getting dropped after 1-2 rounds, that’ll just kill your whole plan, need to have some extra cash on field or in the bank imo
Intelsonic

March 6, 2019 at 6:03 pm
Thoughts on Brodie Smith at D3? Reckon he could average around 85 maybe even near 90 and with doubts around the role of Sicily and the effect of Williams on Whitefield, could be a good idea.
Intelsonic
March 6, 2019 at 6:15 pm
think smith will be a very solid defender but not top 6, depends how many keepers you have in the rest of the side
Another Arctic Flying wombat Panda of Doom named Drowning fish
March 6, 2019 at 6:18 pm
Nothing wrong with that at all bro, i’ve Lost my confidence in most of the premiums back there too, have a look at the defenders from Geelong, Melbourne, Westcoast and Collingwood, (cant name players on here, gives them away too much, but do your own research, you might find a sneaky pick)
Intelsonic
March 6, 2019 at 6:14 pm
pick 1 2 or 3
1. Newman D3, Libba M5, Goldstein R2 – 69k in the bank
2. Smith D3, Libba M5 Gawn R2 – 52k in the bank
3. Newman D3, Butters M6 (Walsh m5), Gawn R2 – 83k in the bank

heens and williams for me, think heeney goes up and smith goes down and williams will be pretty close to newman and save a lot of coin to start with

March 6, 2019 at 6:54 pm
Is having 3 rookies on field in fwd line a risky move?
Current rookies are Setters, Cavarra and Parker.
Have no money left as I’ve gone set and forget in rucks. Don’t risking with Preuss, Speak a no or Clarke.

Struggling to see 3 decent forward rookies who will play every week, and then you still need to find 2 for the bench. For this reason I’m taking Worpel at F4 to limit the forward rookies needed

Set the wheels in motion, and watch them turning round
I want to sail across the ocean, I’ve grown weary of this town
Take the pressure down
Cause I can feel it, It’s rising like a storm
Take hold of the wheels and turn them around
Take the pressure down
In this city full of danger, we lead our separate lives
And I was frightened by a stranger, with desperation in her eyes
Take the pressure down
Cause I can feel it, it’s rising like a storm
Take hold of the wheels and turn them around
Take the pressure down
Someone turned the pressure on
I called your name and you were gone
And I was trapped like a prisoner in this lonely town
I’m gonna let things slide, until the pressure comes down
Oh the winner tells his story, the loser hides in shame
The winner steals the glory, while the loser takes the pain
Take the pressure down
Cause I can feel it, it’s rising like a storm
Take hold of the wheels and turn them around
Take the pressure down
Take the pressure down
Cause I can feel it, it’s rising like a storm
Take hold of the wheels and turn them around
Take the pressure down
Take the pressure down
Cause I can feel it, it’s rising like a storm
Take hold of the wheels and turn them around
Take the pressure down
Take the pressure down
Cause I can feel it, it’s rising like a storm
Take hold of the wheels and turn them around
Take the pressure down
Take the pressure down
Cause I can feel it, it’s rising like a storm

I don’t mind it. Mid is pretty good, ruck is perfect, forward line is strong. Defence maybe a little weak, but D1-D3 is fine and I can’t see you strengthening it without weakening another line. I actually like the defensive rookies more than the forward rookies anyway.
I think you should just set that team and go with it.
