Hey guys, wanna hear your thoughts on these guys after the scratch matches
Taranto: hearing different things from different sources, I know he rotated forward but need to know how much he was forward and whether people think he is still a good pick or maybe going down to Tom Greene is better to free up cash elsewhere. Also heard that he only did well in mid when Kelly was rested or something like that?
Serong: Heard that Fyfe played a lot of midfield, at least compared to last year. Is Serong still purely mid or is his role in a bit of Jeopardy?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Thought the same initially about Taranto but having watched the game he was genuinely everywhere and looked really good after an injury plagued year last year. He did go forward a few times (a lot of midfielders will given reduced rotations) but still played more in the middle (from what I saw) than forward and racked up when he was in there.
There were some tweets from SportsWorldWide which had estimated fantasy scores at half time and full time, at half time it was Taranto (68) Kelly (53) Cogs (53) so he was scoring fine with the other two there with him. Yeah that rate went up when Kelly was iced but He’s proved in 2019 he can score with everyone fit. Plus he’s just so underpriced based on what he’s done previously so think it’s a good pick.

Early stages on my team but kind of thinking something along these lines thoughts would be good
DEF: laird, mills, cumming, young, DGB, Jones (170k, 170k)
Mids: Gaff, drew brayshaw, taranto, daicos, acres,Rowell, Phillips, Powell ( 170k,170k)
RUCK: Grundy, draper ( flynn)
FWDS: Danger, Phillips, higgins, Caldwell, Campbell, perkins ( 170k 170k)
Utility (170k)
20k in bank
Rookies will change come round 1 wanted expensive ones on field so easier to downgrade rookies instead of premo/midpricers

Danger+Hately
or
Cerra+LDU?

February 28, 2021 at 2:08 pm
I’d go 1 Wowser, get Danger in. Davies-Uniacke & Cerra have niggling injuries I believe
LW [Why Don't you Choose a Different Alias?]
February 28, 2021 at 6:03 pm
Davies-Uniacke’s was more of a rest, he will play the practice game against Hawthorn.

Team v1 keen for tips or thoughts on it..
DEF – lloyd, Whitfield, stuart, witherden, H young, L Jones
MID – neale, walsh, Toronto, Rowell, Phillips, Powell, downie, Collier-Dawkins
RUCK- gawn, Flynn
FWD – zorko, dunks, Martin, Campbell, cookatoo, macrae
16k left in the bank
Brian Smith

If it’s W.Phillips in MID – I think you have too many rookie mids. Drop Withers to Harmes and upgrade one of the mid rookies maybe.
Ripper
February 28, 2021 at 2:45 pm
Team so far pretty happy with it but would love some thoughts
Back: Laird, Daniel, Williams, Cumming, H.Young, Highmore
Midfield: Merrett, Taranto, Walsh, Rowell, Sloane, T.Green, Powell, Downie
Ruck: Grundy, Draper
Forward: Danger, Phillips, Caldwell, Rozzee, Dow, MacRae
Thanks guys and good luck

Cockatoo no longer an option? And is it now Powell over Phillips?
Mighty Puds
February 28, 2021 at 4:33 pm
Think Fagan said Cockatoo is still in the mix for Round 1 even after missing the scratch match, if he plays in the AAMI then he’s firmly back on the rookie radar. Think Powell is definitely ahead of Philips given he played the scratch match over him (obviously which ever one gets named is the one we take).
North have LDU, Cunnington, Anderson and potentially Dumont to come back though so it’s hard to tell if either gets in at the moment
LW [Why Don't you Choose a Different Alias?]
February 28, 2021 at 6:02 pm
Yes Powell will play.
Dumont is injured to start the season as well.

Here’s where I’m at post the practice games.
DEF – Laird, Mills, Howe, Williams, Cumming, Highmore (Bianco, Wehr)
MID – Coniglio, Cripps, Rowell, Taranto, Serong, Caldwell, Powell, Downie (Cockatoo, Valente, Gulden)
RUC – Grundy, O’Brien, (Flynn)
FWD – Sidebottom, Dunkley, Phillips, Rozee, Dow, Rowe (Kelly. Treacy)
Considering a downgrade from Rozee Just for some cash in the kitty – He’s been in and out of my side for this reason, even considering Taranto for Green and some cash in the bank or an upgrade somewhere,
Thoughts? help!

Rozee has another foot issue restricting him.
Spud.
February 28, 2021 at 4:56 pm
Cheers for that I just had a read, so who to go to?
Aluniesheis
February 28, 2021 at 5:24 pm
Move Caldwell to FWD and get a Green or Hately
Squid
February 28, 2021 at 5:33 pm
What Alun said, looking pretty tasty then rooks pending.
Brian Smith
February 28, 2021 at 11:30 pm
Obviously not Z.Williams & J.Howe or you’d break the bank (14029 by my calc), & it can’t be B.Williams & D.Howe – still too expensive?
Ed
March 9, 2021 at 6:49 pm
Who’s another good defender for the bench NOT Kelly or Treacy below 200k?
Ed
March 9, 2021 at 6:52 pm
That was meant to be a Forward* not a defender but ignore that comment i found a player
Sambo
February 28, 2021 at 5:27 pm
Dunkley + Grundy or Danger + ROB?
Squid
February 28, 2021 at 5:35 pm
Gotta have Grundy, if not you’re doing it wrong
LW [Why Don't you Choose a Different Alias?]
February 28, 2021 at 6:07 pm
Who do people see as the higher scorer?
A) N Cox
B) L Jones
C) Picking neither
I am currently A
dondasash
February 28, 2021 at 6:14 pm
Yep I agree with A, if Nik Cox plays then I reckon u gotta lock him in based off his performance in the scratch match
LW [Why Don't you Choose a Different Alias?]
February 28, 2021 at 7:03 pm
Yes I didn’t watch this game, looked good from all reports?
Fitchy
March 1, 2021 at 2:13 am
yea looked good and had a wing role
Phteven
February 28, 2021 at 6:53 pm
As a Port supporter I can’t see Jones breaking into the backs.
SB
March 9, 2021 at 6:57 pm
Hartlett to come back and they’ve got the Cannon and Bergman competing as well
Triple X

North are saying Dom Tyson will attend most centre bounces round 1 at $410k is he worth the risk thoughts please
Fitchy
March 1, 2021 at 2:13 am
imo better either goin down to a rookie or perhaps paddy dow, or alternatively finding the cash for green from gws or hately
Brucey Don't Like Rusty
March 1, 2021 at 5:02 am
I see less Hately in teams now. Not as likely to get minutes now? Played in scratch match Bs putting ppl off?
Steven
March 1, 2021 at 10:30 pm
Dusty and Cumming
or
Danger and Grainger-Barras

First timer, thoughts on team?
DEF: Lloyd, Highmore, Cumming, J.Howe, Gould, Powell (Bianco)
MID: Coniglio, Cripps, Rowell, Taranto, Serong, Downie, Green, Powell (Valente, D.Williams)
RUC: Grundy, Wits (Flynn)
FWD: Caldwell, Sidebottom, Dunkley, T.Phillips, Dow, Rowe (Kelly, Treacy)
UTL: L.Young
Dont have 2nd DEF interchange but only 9k remaining.
Thank you
SB
March 9, 2021 at 7:13 pm
If this team was a sick dog I’d put it down, nah but seriously I’d drop Sidey to a rookie and patch up your lines. Also get L.young out of utility it’s a waste to much money on the pine plus I don’t think he’ll score real well.
The following won’t play bianco,Gould, highmore (50/50), kelly, valante, Williams.
Rookies to look at are Campbell, Scott, Jones, gulden, brockman, Bergman, Warner, meek, bruhn, jordan, Koschitzke, Idun, Cox.
I like your midpricers, you just need to build it from the ground up you need to make money first and foremost so invest in your rookies.
