What are everyones thoughts on jermey howe, seriously considering him for D4.
Tommy Tinkerer
March 20, 2020 at 6:35 pm
I like him if he fits your structure, should be solid for low 80s (BCV). Assuming that’s with Roberton at D5 and only one rookie on field?

Sauce Jacobs / Noble
or
Naismith / Brodie Smith
thankyou very much
Tommy Tinkerer

Solid but I think it’s a bad move to have no bench cover in your defence with Watson and Williams missing out. Definitely need to find a way to get Brander or Starcervich off the ground. I think given the rookies available you should send a premo MID back to a Crisp/Smith type as Pickett is worthy of being on ground.
Personally I would also play Budarick on ground and switch out King for C.Taylor and you’ll need to find a replacement for Xerri who also missed the cut.
Probably Someone

Thoughts on my team lads?
Def- Smith, Birch, Houston, Roberton, Docherty, Noble Bench-Brander/Starcevich
Mid-Viney Macrae cripps mitchell anderson rowell green adams Bench – Pickett/Brown
Ruc- Ruckpig/jacobs Bench-naismith
Forward-king martin brayshaw petracca rozee budarick Bench sturt taylor
utility-cavarra
I have too many rookies- how to upgrade?
Tommy Tinkerer
March 20, 2020 at 6:36 pm
It’d be much easier to help if your team was in price and/or average order

Is that easier?
Price order
also i have 12k in bank
Tommy Tinkerer

Yep. I think your side is solid although I think the issue is too many mid-pricers rather than too many rookies. You’ve only got 5 rookies on ground while most team structures have 6.
I think the best rookies for both scoring potential and job security are in the MIDs so maybe considering sacrificing a premium there to get Pickett on ground and use the cash elsewhere.
I’d be trying to upgrade at least one of Birchall or Noble to a proper premium as a starting point.
Taylor or Cavarra also likely to score more than King in your FWDs.

Best combo

2. Sicily, Bont, budarick.
3. Nick Haynes, zmerret and budarick?

What should I do fellas?
D.cameron or Xerri (on bench) & Macrae or J.kelly
Or Naismith (on bench) & Fyfe or one of the crouch boys?
JMD567
March 20, 2020 at 7:02 pm
i would be doubt Naismith and Fyfe. You will need to make money from the bench this year!! And Fyfe will be literally 10 points less on average compared to what you can get with the extra money made form Naismith to upgrade later on. Much more upside mate!

Joel Selwood and de goey or Adams and patracca
bomberpap
March 20, 2020 at 7:20 pm
Adams Petracca for me. Selwood may get rested if there are short gaps between games. Not that Adams is Mr Durable either, but still.

There are no guidelines 2020. Nobody has a clue including the Traders [remarkable quite].
Any old hack could win this year including me.
Cripps had a blinder last night and didn’t crack the ton.
It’s gotta be good.

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!

Wasn’t planning on taking Naismith but had the cash left over so thought why not. Good luck all for season.

I was looking through some of the stats this morning from the blues v tigers and pies v dogs. Interesting if nothing else. (yes i know! I need to get a life!)
In the pies/dogs game there were 15 scores of 70+. (The old 85+)
On ownership there were only 2 players in excess of 4% ownership being Grundy(62% and 114) and Macrae(35% and 84.).
The rest were as follows
Dogs
Bailey Smith 95 4%
Crozier 79 0%
Hunter 71 1%
Keath 71 1% The dogs were all hype and no bite last night..understatement!
Pies
Howe 110 4%
Sidebot 107 1%
T Adams 105 2%
Mayne 94 1%
Pendles 90 2% When will we ever learn. He is a legend both as a player and in fantasy.
Mihocek 82 1%
Maynard 76 1%
Hosk-Ell 73 0%
Daicos 70 1%
There were only 10 players to score 70+ in the tigers/blues game with Dusty Doc Cripps and Jack Martin owned 57%, 50% 33% and 15% respectively. (The 1st 2nd 3rd and 5th highest scorers.) The other 6 had 8% ownership or less.
the others as follows
Pestia 89 7%
Bolton 83 4%
Soldo 71 3%
Casb 82 8%
Murphy 78 5%
Kade S 72 8%
What do we take out of this? Not much apart from the pies might have some hidden gems when it comes to a POD with very low ownership. As i said, I need to get a life! Self isolation sucks. Everyone keep well and remember there are 7 games this round left to go hopefully!

Nice post/ keep those stats happening.
Dylan

Ended up going for the Naismith at R2 and four mid rookies (Rowell, Anderson, Green, Pickett) structure which means only one rookie in defence and forwards. Just reckon the mid rookies will score best and last longest, anyone similar?

Lower scores are the norm.
I’m smashing it in SC with some big individual totals.
Grundy[c].
Andy
March 21, 2020 at 7:25 pm
This has turned into a bit of a joke, as far as I can see. Jack Crisp 59, Bont 51, A. Brayshaw 44, and that’s only the premiums.
Saucy Jacobs
March 21, 2020 at 9:01 pm
I’ve currently got Tom Cutler in my team $496 k, I’ve got 221k in the bank should I look to upgrade him
And Brett Bewley is looking good for Freo at 367 K and a score of 89 should I get downgrade Bewley to him and have 360 odd cash in bank for another upgrade,

My rucks are looking good with Grundy, Marshall and Naismith. It’s just a pity every other position is pretty s-house.

Projected score 1601 which looks good comparatively but
I guess it doesn’t matter anymore.
Follow the guidelines set by health experts.

Thoughts on Roberton? Is he a trade or do we hold him? Thanks legends
Dylan
March 31, 2020 at 2:00 am
The game just went past him a little which s fine considering how long he’s missed. He’s got high ownership and should be good for now on

March 31, 2020 at 2:02 am
I know the season resuming is miles off (if it ever does), but am starting to give serious thought to trading Grundy down to Jacobs to get some of the lower scoring rookies (e.g Green) off field given they will likely make way for fit again stars. Thoughts???
CJ
March 31, 2020 at 8:35 pm
Thoughts on downgrading Jacobs to Naismith and keep Grundy at R1?
Means I can get Tom Green up to Ward at M6
