Won't be able to afford all these but these are the guns I'll be juggling with rookies depending on cash and DPP options available.
Will Sidebottom be a defender?
I won't be assuming that Sidebottom will be M/B next year, it's certainly possible but my initial gut feeling is no. Although I wouldn't be surprised to see Buckly really throw the side around next year in a bid to create some early momentum.

I'd say it's 95% chance he's not a backman. He played there in small spurts but never for a whole match. We even used Pendles off halfback sometimes.
I think Bont is unlikely to be given forward status again, but he's definitely at least a chance
All speculative. Hope they are dpp.

be surprised if bont not dpp as spent lot of time forward. not sure of his value at price though. for me martin has convinced me to give him another go. gray, and whatever other dpp player on the up. NO KPP!!!

Martin Convinced you to give him another go? He's averaged 100+ 3 years in a row haha.
Think he may lose Dpp though.

Fairly well rounded mate - only comment is JOM, big question marks there, I'd plan for him not to get up for round one.

Fairly well rounded mate - only comment is JOM, big question marks there, I'd plan for him not to get up for round one.
Agreed. He is only doing ball work at the moment - no contact training and the suns only hopeful he will be right for round 1.
Great looking team ENZ. JOM is risky, Rance appears overpriced and not a good risk/reward choice for me.
Wells could work at his low price and would want to see him stand up over the NAB first.
Rest looks good. Well balanced team.
Appreciate your views on mine.
JOM to rookie and improve the forward line. That's what I would do at this stage.
Nice Team enzedder,
Only real issue as i see it is JOM who Suns have stated they will be careful with and may not be available Round 1.
Just personal but would consider King over Loersch for R3 for loophole advantages - King has 11 Sunday games compared to Loersch's 5.
Thanks for previous replies... JOM gone etc

Dusty/SMartin v Goldy/Billings
I can't see myself not having Goldy but he does rob elsewhere.
Although I hate saying it I prefer Martin x2. Two keepers and better scores.

Yeah I know right.
2 premos proven is better than one. But that other one is Goldy who was GAJ like this year.
Only another 4 months to decide.
Definitely Team 1. Assumes dirty dusty gets a start of course.
Figure a possible 10-15pts better off with two martins over goldy billings.
Dusty 115-120
S Martin 110-115
Tot 225-235
Goldy 110-115
Billings 100-105
Tot 210-220
Found a way to afford Dusty and Goldy... ;D It cost me Beams... :'(
:)
2 Nice teams NZ. I prefer No.1 yet really like the Billings pick in No.2 I've got a huge watch on him in the NAB. Who did you bring in for Beams to facilitate Goldy and the 2 Martins ?? Cheers and best of luck. ;)
How much cash did you have left in team 2?

Thanks... Billings is a speculative pick. Will keep improving. Expect him to do well and will have games where he scores big but at the price he is you have to take a punt on someone and he seemed the best of the bunch. Wasn't entirely comfortable with him there though.
D Swallow... Is the one I've brought in. I read Wato's reasoning in his team thread and as much as I didn't want to drop Beams it's hard to keep over Swallow given the savings of 195k for someone who scored 103ave priced at 77. In 2014 I was slow to jump on him... As most probably can recall he had 6 100+ scores to start the year... Good form continued with only 2 poor 50/60 scores for the year and 6 125+ scores for the year. So I afford Goldy and Dusty without losing much... Sad I can't keep Beams but Swallow at his price is a no risk no brainer.

Not sure Mat... Less than 50k more than 5k... Changed a rookie or two as well...76 k left now due to the Beams downgrade explained above.
I think you can do better then Billings in the 400k which is why I asked. I would rather Goldy and potentially a player b in that price range compared to Martin and Martin, but it will depend on the max price you can afford. That would also involve keeping Beams in the team.
I can't recall exactly Mat but I don't think I could afford ZMerrett and wasn't interested in Buddy and his baggage... it was Billings or a bunch of nothing to excite. Anyway...team now is...

Just one to look at in case you can fit him in as well, after the usual NAB adjustments. J Lyons M/F was vested nearly most of his games and is one the Crowes are expecting to pick up some of the slack left by Danger's departure. Cheers mate. ;)
I'm sorry but D Swallow at M4 is just horrible
He is not a mid keeper - you need to start with someone who is 100% to be a top 10 mid
The rest of your mids are coming back from injury and, with the exception of Goldy, you don't have any superstars on other lines.
I like your structure, if you can upgrade him it would look really good.

Please name a mid that is 100% a top 10 midfielder that can fit into this team. Then explain who you downgrade to get the cash to make the upgrade.
Only way I can see it happening is Goldy to Martin and then you will still be unlikely to have enough cash to get a top 10 midfielder.

personally I would downgrade both Myers and Wells to rookies and then Swallow can become Pendles, Hanners, Beams or Danger
at least get him up to a Parker or Cotchin or Watson someone who has proved they can avg over 110 and could get back there.
I might entertain him at M6 as a stepping stone but he is not a M4

I agree with you that Swallow is not a keeper and would only be a stepping stone, but the fact of the matter is most teams are starting Crouch, Libba, JOM at M5 & 6. They arguably have potential as Keepers, so starting a stepping stone player at M4 doesn't appear as bad.
Myers to me and a lot of other people is a lock. Yes you are paying a premium for him, but you are guaranteed games, a solid average and about $200k in price rise.
Wells is a wait and see. If he plays and performs not having him will mean you lose out big time both in Points and Cash Generation plus he is at a price that is difficult to corrective trade in immediately without downgrading a premium.
Lord Sneeze has a point.
If you wanted to turn Swallow Into a Pendles type you would have to restructure the whole team which I think is a waste!
I have Swallow at this stage - 6 of his first 9 games are in Qld. By this time he should have made enough money with others to upgrade him, if necessary, to a super premium
I'm happy enough with my team as is atm, with Swallow at M4.
Swallow should get back to his 2014 form with little problem given some mid time. He's not locked in until he gets through the pre season and is named r1 but all reports recently have been positive. He's priced at 416k with an 85 average, on that alone he should be at around 465k...
In 2014 he started the year off with scores of: 135, 127, 102, 107, 103, 110, 80, 116, 91 and 130...before having a 3 game slump and then scoring well to finish off the season.
I'll take those scores from a M4 no problem. The dilemma I will have I'm thinking is whether to keep him as my M8 or to sideways trade him in for a fallen super premium... who knows it could even be one of those I should cash in Wells and Myers for.
@ doggoneit... of the four you suggest it would be Beams...ironically I had him in my planned team till I dumped him for Swallow.
Hanners is a no...became very average when I brought him in my team last year... the super premo scores dried up...JPK, TMitch, McVeigh and Parker will score well so he isn't likely to consistently go huge...just consistently good if that makes sense.
Pendles was in my team all year as he has been for probably the last 5 or more years, this will be the first time I don't start with him...he is an upgrade target....too many 100-110 scores... hell there were even some 80s fromhim last year. Unpendleslike.
Danger...is an upgrade target too. Not interested in starting him to I see him score well in a Geelong top. Think he will but there is no query over Beams in a Lions top in comparison.
Pendles dropped because of injury. Need to see him perform in NAB, to see if healed fully to go back to 115-120 with the other Collingwood budding champions
Been a while since I played around with my team...with Myers out and Lobbe as an option it freed up some cash and by going some cheaper rookies I could stack the mids. Read the Sloane thread and changed him to Pendles. Anyway here tis.

Yeah. Swallow's a wait and see. Reports are all positive at the moment.
Just playing around with different combinations of players and posting this for my own benefit as an option as much as anything else...
No Bartel, but Shaw in this team. No Barlow, but Wells if named R1. No Swallow but Adams who I think he is seriously good value and could stay in my side as a POD...can't recall him being in any other teams. Slow start to last year and a 40 subbed off R19 but barring that went at 115.7 ave R11-23...priced at 97.

Unless you think Shaw can maintain an average over 100 early in 2016 I wouldn't start him. Wait till he comes down in value and then pick him later as an upgrade.
There are a lot of quality mids at Collingwood now with the likes of Pendles, Swan, Treloar, Greenwood, Adams etc so I think the likelihood of Adams being a keeper is pretty slim IMO. Would be a risk to start him. I have Pendles in my side ATM and I am thinking he could be a risk as well (but one with runs on the board to take a risk with).
That forward line is pretty thin. It does allow you to have Libba and Crouch at M6 and M7 but with the injury history of Leuenberger, Wells and Kommer there is a massive amount of risk.
I believe your biggest problem is that the money spent on main players leaves you with only money left for rookies that are unlikely to play much, so you can't make money to upgrade players

The beauty of starting Shaw is I won't need to use a trade to get him... Bartel, KK, Simmo and co might be all good picks but Shaw definitely will be (if he stays on the park).
Adams is a risk and only someone I've started thinking about. I like the idea of loading up on mids to get off to a flyer... Has worked well for me in the past.
If I start Shaw and go deep in mids I'll have to go thin in fwds. A lot will depend on availability of rookies. If Wells doesn't look right straight away this team needs restructuring and Barlow or someone will take his place but I gotta say I don't think there's much to choose from.

Rookies are speculative at the moment. You're right that there's not much wriggle room but come round 1 my rookies will be based on who is named and how their job security looks and if I need to change my premium players I will do some tweaking.
Shaw good pick 100% agree with you enz...! It will be like gray last year if you dont start him youll struggle to get him in

First team I've had with KK and at D1 as well...still might run with Shaw, Rance or McVeigh but KK gives funds to allow JOM if he gets up...don't mind running deep in the mids at the expense of rookies with the depth available in mid pricers.
Beams is easy switched to one of Priddis, Gray or JPK if he isn't right.
Leuey and Wells are on watch.
Nice to sit on. Just personal have concerns with Lids and his dodgy hammies at that price. Also I am one of the few still wary on JOM. Would like to see how he goes before committing. He came back from injuries to both knees and then did his ACL so the caution flag is up for me.
Interesting how that third mid is giving a little trouble. I have had Beams, Neale, JPK, Gray and Priddis all in there as well.
good team mate good choices
Awesome. I'd just downgrade Smith or Yeo Upgrade KK to McVeigh/Shaw And Lobbe to better ruck. Tried to get all 3 mid pricers in O/maera Libba and Crouch myself... but couldn't quite fit them.

Made some changes...will probably not run with Hopper, Mills and other expensive rookies unless they look like earning serious coin like Cripps last year...so saved some funds there and have taken JOM out again though he could come back in. Beams is out but might bring him back as well...same for Lids.
Shaw is back in...think I will run with either Lids at F1 or Shaw at D1...they are proven, will be top 6 in their position and providing they stay on the park it'll give me a leg up as everyone else will be looking at bringing them in.
Rance had a great 2015 and he is a bonafide SC star...Champion data love him...intercept mark king and good user...think he will back up and have no fear that last year was a fluke...looks great value and another top 6 pick IMO.
Bartel screams value. Age is the worry but locked in.
Yeo is a speculative pick...should play midfield/ wing and see plenty of the pill and score well for a defender. Didn't score too well in NAB 1 but hard to get a line on that as lacked usual support.
Pendles, GAJ, Rockliff, Libba and Crouch pick themselves.
Ollie should be right to go...groin injury this week...we'll see about that but screams value and think he'll be a solid M7/8 at year's end. hoping for a 110-115 year.
Goldy/Nic Nat set and forget.
Dusty is the no1 forward to have. Barlow probably the no2 to have. Wells and Simpkin value picks who shape as must haves. Some chance I'll start Petracca even if not named R1 if other R1 rookie fwds look risky...which brings me to Higgins...yes I read he's just been under the knife but that's a good thing and he'll be better for it. Has played 41 games over the last two seasons. 10 scores over 100 last year , including three over 130, 15 games over 90 pts in 2015. Looks a nice pick.
Good balance across the board NZ.
I struggle with KPP defender selections (and KPP forwards for that matter). Would like to see a def/mid running player.
Love the mids and hope Gore gets a start rd 1 for you.
Rucks are the second best combo.
Higgins is a great POD choice, good chance to go on from last season. Scoring mid/fwd player.
Petracca will be interesting for most of us come RD1. Start him and hope or look for downgrade to him by rd 5.
Good team mate.

I know I am going against the FF trend but I don't like Simmo or Birch see them as 85 types and reckon Rance will do better.
Second best combo rucks ay mate...I'll happily play them against the best. I like Martin and Mummy but Nic Nat will do me.
That my friend is a great team. How the F#$K did u get Heater,Goldy without compromising almost anything?
I can't start more than 1 of Lids/Heater/Goldy as my team always looks better and balanced with only 1 of them.
Anyway I'd just spend less on the backs as I've told many others. And use the cash to get Fyfe as is my advice also if they don't have him.
Also Simpkin > rookie could strengthen Mids? Not sure why so popular - as a Bombers man I'd rather a rookie for half the price.

Thanks mate. I'm a fan of spending less on backs and usually do and stack the mids. Currently I'm running contrary to that approach but I could get cold feet...am keeping an eye on Beams so might depend on his status R1.
Simpkin can get a lot of possessions and has a good average unsubbed if what I've read is correct. I haven't researched him properly as yet but on the face of that it makes him worth the price given he will play in a depleted Bomber's team.

Yeah I am a Beams fan and one lesson I have learnt in SC is Interuppted preseason means unreliable performance. So no Beams for me. Happy with a Parker or Hannebury replacement.

That's okay then... Those 4 bomber defenders will see a bit of the sherrin then if it's down there all the time. 8)
R1 Team...
Rance, Laird, Lonergan, Weitering, Dea, McDonald-Tipungwuti (Brown, Adams)
Dangerfield, Ablett, Priddis, Rockliff, Wines, Liberatore, BCrouch, Mills (Oliver, Gresham, Davis)
Goldstein, Gawn (Goetz)
Martin, Barlow, DeGoey, Wells, Kerridge, Milera ( Menadue, McCarthy)
Shaw, Rance, Laird, DBJ, Mcdonald-Tip, Brown (Ruggles, Brand)
Danger, Pendles, GAJ, J Selwood, Priddis, Libba, Wines, Petracca (Oliver, Menadue, Smith)
Goldy, Gawn (Goetz)
Martin, Z Merrett, Zorko, Hall, Kerridge, Wells (B Kennedy, Papley)
Probably going to trade Wines and Oliver out today to Neale and Mathieson. Going to go a week early on Mathieson as a downgrade to another defensive option looks tricky atm.... B Williams was going to be my go to this week but might have to look at another option. Harry Marsh scored 51 pts last night but no idea on JS, Tucker could be back... no idea really atm. I really probably should upgrade a defender but if DBJ and Mcd-Tip can keep scoring 80+ I'm prepared to upgrade elsewhere.
The plan is to get Robbie Gray for around 510k for Menadue next week. Will have about 140k to grab the best rookie.
I'm a little worried about Goldy being iced up and if he doesn't play next week all plans get thrown up in the air.
Next week team will hopefully be...
Shaw, Rance, Laird, DBJ, Mcdonald-Tip, Tucker? (Ruggles, Brand)
Danger, Pendles, GAJ, J Selwood, Priddis, Libba, Neale, Petracca (Mathieson, R Gray, Smith)
Goldy, Gawn (Goetz)
Martin, Z Merrett, Zorko, Hall, Kerridge, Wells (B Kennedy, Papley)
Just play the Goldy thing by ear and have some cash on hand for a contingency plan.
Is it better to stick fat with Wines and trade your rookies to premoes first? Yes, he isn't going great but players like Brown will be hurting your scoring potential just as much.
Quadzilla could turn it around.
B.Kennedy (who you aren't even fielding) to Dollhouse then use Kerridge in mids for this week?
Shaw, Rance, Laird, DBJ, Mcdonald-Tip, Ruggles (Collins, Brand)
Danger, Pendles, GAJ, J Selwood, Priddis, R Gray, Libba, Wines (BKennedy, Menadue, Smith)
Goldy, Gawn (Goetz)
Martin, Z Merrett, Zorko, Hall, Kerridge, Wells (Petracca, Papley)
Thinking Ruggles to McVeigh & Bennedy to B Williams both Def-Mid...was going to go Matho but he's been omitted.
Williams is on the extended bench and may not play but at least it sets up a mid-def link and the defenders need upgrading with McDonald-tip, DBJ and Ruggles at D4-6 currently.
Team after R13
Shaw, Rance, Laird, DBJ, Ruggles, Collins (Brand, Lee)
Dangerfield, Pendlebury, Ablett, Selwood, Neale, Priddis, Gray, Liberatore (B Kennedy, Trengove, Petracca)
Goldstein, Gawn (Goetz)
Martin, Zorko, Montagna, Z Merrett, Wells, Hall (Kerridge, Menadue)
It's time to sort out the defence now.
Next week's trades...
BKennedy to Phillips (keeps two DPP links in mids with all my fwds)
Ruggles to Simpson
Would DBJ be a better trade to Simpson.
What are your intentions with Brand and Lee as they would be risks to carry?
Team after R14
Shaw, Simpson, Rance, Laird, Ruggles, Collins (Brand, Lee)
Dangerfield, Pendlebury, Ablett, Selwood, Neale, Priddis, Gray, Liberatore (Petracca, Phillips, Trengove)
Goldstein, Gawn (Goetz)
Martin, Zorko, Montagna, Z Merrett, Deledio, Hall (Kerridge, Menadue)
Trades this week were... DBJ- Simpson/ Bennedy-Phillips/ Wells-Deledio
Ruggles, Collins and Menadue all have cash to make after this week's scores so will upgrade D5&6 in a few weeks when cashed up and likely trade Menadue to Hugh Greenwood (Adel) simply because he is a 102kmid/fwd dpp who I can switch as needed and keep two dpp links open between fwds/mids... could also use to loophole when possible with Kerridge, Petracca, Hall, Phillips...
How good were Ruggles, Collins, Menadue... Beat up on teams with Heater Bartel Robbo lol
Trades look solid man, love how you have cover on both the forwards and mids, although that D5/6 has to be upgraded swiftly to avoid losing too many points because I see both Ruggles/Collins returning to 60's but that's just me.
Who were you looking at for those positions? Would love to see you go with someone completely left of centre (like a Pittard) but would completely understand if you went with Dochers and another premium.
And, with Greenwood (102k mid), have you taken close attention to Adelaide's draw so you can make use of the loophole?

Yeah was lucky with Menadue, Collins and Ruggles this week. Want to trade this week but can't really at their prices and cash still to make. Unsure of what defenders yet but McVeigh, Bartel, JJ, Pittard, Docherty, Z Williams and Boyd will be some I look at.
Greenwood/ Adelaide have all Saturday night and Sunday games to finish the year off so if I can't loophole Petracca, Trengove, Kerridge or Hall then I'll still be able to loophole the likes of Martin and Zerrett.
That's the plan anyway.
Nice Plan but will you get the same loophole with Kerridge as Greenwood or do you need Greenwood for cash. Carlton and Crows have similar draws and remember we only have 4 Rds till finals as well.

Menadue to Greenwood gives 200k and I need to upgrade 2 defensive rookies still.
Not sure I follow re: Kerridge loophole... Greenwood guarantees I have 1 mid/fwd non player to loophole. The non player may sort itself out... But if it doesn't Greenwood fits the bill and frees up funds.
Shaw, Simpson, Rance, Laird, Ruggles, Collins (Brand, Lee)
Dangerfield, Pendlebury, Ablett, Selwood, Neale, Priddis, Gray, Liberatore (Kerridge, Menadue, Trengove)
Goldstein, Gawn (Goetz)
Martin, Zorko, Montagna, Z Merrett, Deledio, Hall (Petracca, Phillips)
Didn't trade this week.
Just visited TooSerious and currently thinking about these trades over the next two weeks.
Menadue to Joyce (will still be cheap...about 141k)... both forecast to rise about 20k next game.
Ruggles to McVeigh ....McVeigh is another premo and will rise in cash probably more than Ruggles next week.
Following week...
Petracca to Silvagni
Brand to Johannisen...should be affordable... if not Collins goes and extra cash saved for future trades.
Wanted to keep Petracca for extra depth and to have two mid/fwd link open but McVeigh/Joyce create a mid/def link that could be handy too.
Thoughts appreciated.
Team would be...
Shaw, Simpson, Rance, Laird, McVeigh, Johannisen (Collins, Lee)
Dangerfield, Pendlebury, Ablett, Selwood, Neale, Priddis, Gray, Liberatore (Kerridge, Joyce, Trengove)
Goldstein, Gawn (Goetz)
Martin, Zorko, Montagna, Z Merrett, Deledio, Hall (Silvagni, Phillips)
Do not mind it at all. How many trades left for finals trading as Libba at M9 worries me a little going into must win finals.

Fast running out like everyone.
Libba M8? think he stays there. If I'm lucky he could be my last trade during the finals.
By getting Joyce for Kerridge, rather than Petracca and Johannisen for Collins rather than Brand I can do the above upgrades over the next two weeks at the cost of 3 trades instead of 4. Would mean I keep Menadue on the pine and let Silvagni slide by.
Would mean my bench would be weaker with Petracca covering fwd/mids instead of Kerridge and Brand/Lee defence cover instead of Collins...that's probably the go...better to have the same cattle on the park, use less trades and use the cash on the bench. That extra trade could be worth gold...or is Lee/Brand too risky?

Its a bit risky but if you are low on trades then I think conserving the trade is better. Only issue is that Lee and Brand have questionable JS and arent great scorers when they do play.
Brand to m/d cheapo and kerridge to mcveigh? Petracca and menadue can cover m/f lines for now. That leaves you with Ruggles for now then get JJ following week?

Those trades look good for next week but an extra trade involving one of Petracca or Menadue to a cheapie such as Silvagni or Greenwood would be required to generate the funds needed to upgrade Ruggles. Could do it though but might be painful with a LTI.
Done my trades for this week...
Kerridge> Joyce
Lee> McVeigh

Collins. Has better JS. Ruggles has been playing really well but you need a guy you know will be playing when you need him.

Collins. Has better JS. Ruggles has been playing really well but you need a guy you know will be playing when you need him.
McVeigh out with a groin has made this more pertinent. Ruggles might play every week but when he is named on the bench there's pressure to perform or you're a game away from being dumped. Collins does seem safer. Thanks mate.

Petracca, Markov and Collins cover atm for Lids, Hall and McVeigh.
Remaining trades will be used on LTIs. Intend on keeping Hall though.
