Lyons a good pod at M1. You’re strong F1-4, maybe downgrade one of them to get one more rook off the field? 3mid rooks is prob not the best starting plan

February 21, 2021 at 2:27 pm
yeah. i reckon everyone would be all good if marshall wasn’t injured, or i would, but we’ve all been thrown under the bus a little. I like it a lot, but I doubt Powell will have enough mid time with Phillips, Cunnington, Simpkin etc. all ahead of him. Try grabbing Phillips instead of Powell

Question. Nathan Jones. Currently owned by 0.28% of teams and average of 60.3 for 2020 due to an injury effected year. Is he viable? Been fit all preseason so far and now that we dont have to deal with shortened quarters his midfield minutes should increase, an average of 80 isnt out of the question.
As a MID-FWD, 32 years of age and 528k, is he worth it?
Let me know what you think
Triple X
February 21, 2021 at 12:37 am
No way he will average 80 plus he injury prone he’s not worth it passed he’s prime

Best combo

2. Walsh, ROB and Jeremy Cameron
Snags

2x solid captain options in no1 but no.1 has more value for money, if you can get Cameron to a premo fwd or rozzee I’d go no.2

1 if the fwd rook is no higher than F5, 2 if not but I reckon you can do better than Cameron for the same money or less.

Rozee and Jez Cameron?
Daniel
February 21, 2021 at 2:23 pm
Depends on team structure. Dunkley could be massive or a waste of cash (again), so if you have solid. low risk players then first, but if you have high risk high reward players then 2nd
Thomas V
February 21, 2021 at 2:42 pm
Depends on your F1-F2, if Rozee and Cameron are F3 and F4 probably option 2
Beetroot
February 21, 2021 at 12:34 pm
What do you guys think is best option at this stage?
1. Mitchell, Taranto, any rookie (lets say Maginness)
2. Mitchell, Serong, Hately
3. Serong, Taranto, Sloane
Struggling to choose one option. Don’t mind choosing Titch with dud shoulder. I reckon all options have upside and average about same which makes it difficult to choose one, and I have faith in rookies this year.
Daniel
February 21, 2021 at 2:22 pm
2nd. If you have faith in rookies then first but I think 2nd is most solid

motor
February 21, 2021 at 6:22 pm
Team as follows
Laird Williams Day Markov H Young L Young Bench L Jones Highmore. I sure Aluniesheis, squid and mighty puds will happily critique this team with venom lol.
So much of my team is dependent on the AAMI series game.
Markov is in my team as he is a straight swap to Cumming and a few others.
I Gould was in the mix as a certain starter it would make a huge difference to my team as Day to Gould would free up a heap of cash to fix my pathetic forward line.
I am more confident in Highmore playing than Gould..
Liam Jones on the bench seems excessive but I am firmly convinced we are going to need every dollar we have if we hope to fill our bench do i have a little wriggle room.
No bench. No cash generation. It is not rocket science.
My backline rating. Poor to acceptable with at least 4 upgrades needed.
Mighty Puds
February 21, 2021 at 6:43 pm
Nice to get a mention, cheers. Nice looking backline, good mix of value and rookies. Take it onboard if you want but as a Swans fan reckon Gould has as good a chance as Lachie Jones of playing R1 given Mills moving into the midfield frees up a spot. Also think Milera and Harmes might be worth a look over Day purely due to the price gap (Think Day will be great but maybe not much better than the other two). Not overly confident in Lachie Young playing but Markov and Cumming are pretty similar pick whoever plays. Overall nice backline though, hope this wasn’t too venomous lol.
motor
February 21, 2021 at 7:31 pm
Definitely not Puds. Was some what vanilla lol and much appreciated
Squid
February 21, 2021 at 7:20 pm
I actually pretty much agree with Puds, in particular Milera is possibly one of the better back picks going around this year in def, I was off him but when looking back he has always seemed about to break out then gets hit by injury, could be this is the year it comes together, especially with Laird moving into the guts the Crows will be looking to his rebound. Otherwise be prepared with a few options come r1, like you say, to jump on any bonus rook to free up cash. I feel you can afford to take a punt across the backline without it doing too much damage if it doesn’t go to plan.
bomberpap
February 22, 2021 at 7:05 am
I actually don’t mind the Markov pick. He’s been on my radar too. Could be a good alternative to Cumming as a rebounding half back
motor
February 21, 2021 at 6:35 pm
Midfield
Steele Gaff Sloane Rowell Cunnington Rowell Powell and Phillips.
Decent without being outstanding. Steele an option to go to B Crouch R3, ,Gaff good in inter club from reports, m3456, stock standard, m78 509k to play with. Durdin and C Stephens on the bench. A bit skinny for upgrades there.bit overall pretty happy
Rating. Okay.
.
Mighty Puds
February 21, 2021 at 6:48 pm
Could also look at guys like Walsh, Taranto, Cripps etc if unsure on Steele. Watch Cunnington for concussion and potentially playing a lot of time forward. Wish there were two Rowell’s would make it easier lol.
motor
February 21, 2021 at 7:58 pm
What ruck is going to feed it down Taranto throat?
motor
February 21, 2021 at 8:29 pm
The other thing Puds is Steele is 800+ against Taranto 700-+ Walsh 700+ Cripps 700+. All downgrade options to others R1. I am so so on Taranto and big on cripps, negative on Walsh.
Mighty Puds
February 21, 2021 at 10:26 pm
Had Steele and Gaff but went to Merrett and Walsh instead. Just think those three (I have them all) all present big value given Cripps was limited by injury last year and Taranto similar then when he came back still seemed underdone. Not sure what the issue is with Walsh, stereotype third year breakout candidate with a reliable scoring ability (not reliant on any one stat) plus has been flying this preseason in a more inside role which he averaged 112+ in the back end of last year. You’re definitely right that Steele can be downgraded come R1 if needed but just feel there’s a few guys around the 700-730k bracket (Brad Crouch is another but obviously misses R1-R2) that there’s value to be had over guys like Steele (as much as I like him).
Squid
February 21, 2021 at 7:33 pm
Decent, im guessing second Rowell is Hately, should have 4 rooks available r1 and you’ll have the funds to grab them. I’m not sold on Steele, has a lot to live up to after last season but I can appreciate why you might jump on, I’d look at going him down to Taranto or Walsh to free up some cash for hopefully similar return but it’s not my team soooo…
motor
February 21, 2021 at 7:55 pm
I like Taranto squid but Shattuck is going to feed it down his throat?
Squid
February 21, 2021 at 10:44 pm
He’s never had it fed, mummy is/was a crash & basher, Taranto is an inside ball winner, a handy shark, loves a tackle, goes from contest to contest all day and should be fit now after his injury come back warm up last season, who knows they might even find someone who can get a few taps to him.
motor
February 22, 2021 at 12:21 am
Steele is there mainly at his price. 800+ and a downgrade to B Crouch in R3 to free up cash to fix the multiple f,*** ups I make in R1. Lol
Squid
February 22, 2021 at 7:26 am
So long as he doesn’t tank that makes sense, B Crouch very much on my radar too as is likely having to fix a train wreck by r3 as usual.
motor
February 21, 2021 at 6:44 pm
Ricks.
Grundy and Witts.
I love Max but I think he he is fully priced and Witts is under priced as a stand alone ruck and I just thought Grundy’s body language at the end of the season was just so so.
Rating. Different but but rational.
Squid
February 21, 2021 at 8:16 pm
I also think Grundy is a must have, he’s ruckpig for a reason, r2 has gone from easiest pick of the season to a riddle with no answer, Witts is as good a solution as any, personally I’m probably going to go with a rook ruck if we have 2 starting come round 1 hopefully that way one sticks. Could all go horribly wrong but you’ve got to risk it for the biscuit.
Mighty Puds
February 21, 2021 at 10:20 pm
Definitely a big risk play but there’s always a chance of a risk paying off. Personally think if we get any rookie rucks it’s likely to be just Flynn, maybe Treacy from Freo but as soon as Tabener and Darcy are fit he’s likely out. After messing around with Naismith, Pittonet, Jacobs etc last year I’ll likely be sticking with two set and forget options and leaving the rookies for other lines. But a rookie ruck at R2 definitely has merit and Grundy at R1 offers some stability.
Squid
February 21, 2021 at 11:14 pm
Yeah, not sold on it yet but geez everything else looks soooo much better with the extra cash to splash, don’t forget Campbell and Tilthorpe too…. Actually I just changed my mind, if 2 play I’m totally doing it, stuff it, every year despite all the planning and thought I put in by 2 games in my captain gets KO’d in the first 5 minutes of a game, someone pings a hammy, blows a knee, forgets how to play, or gets coached out of it, often 2 or more of these happen and it’s season over with a rank of 40k-80k, no cash and a battle to claw back to the top 5000. It’s never due to bad decisions (I make a few of them too), just bad luck, it may just be the sunday evening wines speaking but this year is balls out, no regrets, I won’t die not knowing fantasy footy. And if it all goes pear shape it will be a learning experience and I’ll still have my sensible supercoach team.

Forwards. An absolute schmozzle , melting pot, bad beef stew.
Currently stands as follows.
Lobb Caldwell Stephenson J Hunt Schoenberg and 2MP with Cockatoo and Rowe on the bench and E Smith as utility
Lobb there as R/F but feel sick in the stomach with that choice. Foot hotspots are scary Daniher and Cameron could be awesome value. Rooks unknown. My forwards are a Brussel sprout nightmare.
Redeeming factor. The Statesmen is running with Phillips and Rozee and Craig the winner seems to be in the same river. Daniher Cameron and Stephenson in his team.
Cameron and Daniher and Hogan great value as key forwards Rozee could do anything. Rowe may be the only took I have any confidence in starting with. E Smith is probably a pipe dream but Cockatoo at 240k gives me some solace.
Sigh….. I NEEDED TO VENT!!! Lol.
Squid
February 21, 2021 at 8:52 pm
Ahhhhh, yeah………. up to here i was thinking “damn, what was this guy worried about” then this, THIS is what you’re worried about. First up the good, Cameron and moron moostaka probably won’t be awesome value. (Seriously that lip caterpillar represents all that is wrong in the world right now)
But apart from Stephenson, if he’s decided to grow up and try, and just maybe Caldwell this is not great. Per above Steele down to Walsh/Taranto/different flavour at similar price, frees up a bit of cash to get Lobb (interesting prospect btw) to someone less scary like a Phillips or Heeny but that may not be enough, Witts down to Campbell, Tilthorpe, Treacy Meek or Flynn frees up a bucket load of cash to play with to pimp all your other lines, surely a couple play? It’s a big risk sure but the payoff could well be worth it then some.
motor
February 22, 2021 at 12:37 am
Flynn Campbell Treacy Meek are all options as I have the downgrade upgrade option rather than having to upgrade with a downgrade choice. Example. Cockatoo to a 170k is much easier than a 170k non playing room to Cockatoo.

Dimma in the Dusty story today said Prestia should be right for r1, still sounds a bit touch and go though so have a plan B just in case. Really like the team, easily the closest to mine I’ve seen, I’m a bit more midprice in the mid for a stronger fwd. I like that you’ve got upgrade funds and your on field rooks give you flexibility for r1 tinkering, very nice.

Some great picks, but I can’t get around Flynn as your R2. He’s only played against NEAFL quality guys so far and will get monstered some weeks.
All the while other teams will have Gawn/ROB/Witts etc. Find the cash to put him as your R3. I’d downgrade Mills to a rookie like Gould/Highmore and then use the cash to at least get Witts or a decent R2.

I rarely comment on teams but I will this time. I will be totally.surprised and very happy if Heath Chapman plays R1 with Alex Pearce returning. I doubt you will get your 3 mid rookies playing. You definitely will not get 8 170k playing rooks on the bench.
Mighty Puds
February 22, 2021 at 1:34 am
Robertson might not play but Phillips and Powell should and there’s also Downie, Campbell, Pedlar etc to have if you’re going three mid rookies (Have that currently in my side). Chapman was excellent in Freo’s intraclub and they have really talked him up as a R1 debutant (Pearce is a lockdown key back so they’re different players).
motor
February 22, 2021 at 10:34 am
I would love to have 3 rooks in the guts pud. Hopefully over the next fortnight a few get named. 3 in the guts and 8 on the bench and win lotto. Hope springs eternal lol
bomberpap
February 22, 2021 at 12:16 pm
Nice structure.. haven’t seen many go as hard in the forwards as you have.
But relying on a lot of hopeful rookies. Chapman did perform well in the intraclub but Freo’s back 6 appear to be locks so he’s risky. Powell hasn’t played at league level before.. so worried he’s a bit under developed and may not get early games.. and I think Perkins and Macrae are very much borderline too.
Perkins is definitely not playing midfield, so relying on half forward numbers may mean he’s overpriced as a rookie.
If you get lucky with rookies this will be a great starting squad… But rolling team announcements would be making me very nervous for R1.

least risk is 2 as ROB is a keeper like Dunkley and Rozee is a better chance of improvement than Witts.

What makes you think Rozee is a better chance of improvement than Witts?
Witts sucked last year – but he was coming off no preseason and was clearly struggling with a foot injury all year, kryptonite for big men.
Albeit a different injury but when Gawn did his hammy a few years back he only managed high 80s for the rest of the season before banging out a 111 average the following year when healthy. Not to suggest Witts will go anywhere near that, but he had a 104 in 2019 and two years in the mid 90s in 2017 and 2018. If he’s fully healthy, there’s no reason why he doesn’t push triple figures again.
We know Witts can do 20+ points better than last year. Rozee has had an interrupted preseason, so I’m not so confident he’ll be able to match that level of improvement.

I’m not a fan of Laird in midfield- you could find a better mid rookie option than L. Young. Not confident in Howe being a maximum fitness R1. Apart from Grundy who is your captain? Jezza/Stephenson or Howe to a rookie and upgrade Nank to Gawn, VC Grundy and captain Gawn.

I’m also running laird in the middle, at the end of the day he will be a top 6 defender and get shifted back.

Laird, Williams, Cummings, H Young, Highmore, Gould, (Wehr, L Jones)
Neale, Rockie, Sloane, Rowell, Hately, Sier, Phillips, Mead (C-Dawkins, Valente)
Grundy, Drapper (Flynn)
S’bum, Dunkley, T Phillips, Caldwell, Stephenson, Rowe (Kelly, Bergman)
Floating Interchange P Dowe
I’m trying to work a team out around Neale and Grundy (2 Pigs) which I think will help over a whole season, plus adding a DPP Player as an extra Interchange will also help. I think adding Sier to my mids is a bit of a risk but with the changes to the pies Midfield he should get games

Marshall a possibility to play in round 2. What do people make of that?
Would anyone still be inclined to start with him?
