$51,300 left in the bank
On Cripps, even if it is a 3 month injury i want to see more news on him before i rule him out of my side. Was my first picked before I saw his injury, now just a waiting game. :'(
Hi FT welcome to 2017 teams mate. A real Guns n Rookies approach for your team until you get to the forward line. What is your rationale for Nankervis over Ryder?
Having Elliot and Bennell in team leaves you exposed. What are you expecting Elliot to avg for 2017?

Nankervis over Ryder is on the basis that he plays No.1 Ruck... He dominated in Tac Cup (AVE: 122 supercoach points) and in the State carnival (AVE: 157 supercoach points) which shows he's a real prolific supercoach scorer if given that. Some of his stats in 71% TOG is encouraging as well playing in a R/F role
I think Elliot will go absolute minimum of 70, with a full preseason under his belt he'll be back to around where he was...
Personally i see bennell as a similar risk to beams.... considering beams missed 44 games in the last 4 years bennell missing 41.

Alternative to my first side, little bit safer and generic in a sense... but I kind of like it.
Love my backs and forwards (Ryder and Nank will have a rotation throughout my teams), mids probably 1 premo off what i'd like (Upgrade on Beams), still dubious about Sandi but he makes sense.
Nice team - just a cautious note on Rocky to observe his attitude given the dramas of this year. (Buddy saga springs to mind)
Know rookies are not set but would nor start with Barrett as he is on rookie list so will need to be elevated - Perfect downgrade target when elevated though,

Cheers ringo, its a worry for me too... bont/hanners probably the other two im considering. If i hear good things from lions and rockliff then im definitely going to start him though

Rocky strikes me as the kind of guy who will give 110% regardless, has been one of just a handful of players who has performed for us week in, week out, for the last 2-3 years tbh.

For information Rocky appears a lot trimmer than this time last year. Remember the comments that people thought he was overweight. So based on that observation would say he will commit 100% and will see for myself next Monday at training.

That's what I like to hear, hopefully the new coach sees him as a part of their future and not trade bait!
Latest Update:
(http://i.imgur.com/FZRtaOp.png)
22k left
In: Scharenberg, T.Mitchell, T.Nankervis
Out: B.Vince, Brodie, P.Ryder
I think most of my team is pretty self explanatory....
DEF: Montagna and Adams are absolute gifts from the supercoach people, Laird is only 22-23 he can take it to another level... Rest are just place-holders
MID: Danger, Pendles, Rocky, Fyfe, Beams are guys everyone will start with and will shift heaven and earth to get in if they don't. You won't get an opportunity to afford a midfield like this with no sacrifice many times. Normally you'd pay 620k+ for each of these guys each season. Tom Mitchell is a fantasy pig, wont take him much to lift his score to 110+ at the hawks! Rookies are placeholders again.
RUC: Same as everyone else pretty much, both underpriced... gives me a chance to suss out the top ruckman! Stranadica is a must have if you want the loophole, for those wanting to know he has only 3 games which would be tough to loophole with but none of those are friday/thursday night games (only early saturday games)... Rest are late saturday or sunday games.
FWD: Generic again, not many options here... Buddy, Cyril are probably the other two I'm considering. Nankervis i reckon will score similarly to ryder. In 2-3 years he will be one of the "Locks" in the rucks. For now if he gets no.1 ruck role, he will average minimum 80 which works for me as he will end up F7/R3 (Last year went 75 points from 71% TOG).
- Going to TRY and stick to this until Christmas atleast, hopefully NY and beyond (Certainly not against being convinced otherwise though!) ;D
Nice looking team man
I'm a fan of the Titch pick but I don't get all the hype about Nank just yet - bit too early but we'll see how he goes in the preseason
I know they're only place holders, but get rid of Ahern - did his knee again not long ago

Cheers dude!
Nank is a gut feeling one...
2015 : Macmillan 280k (didn't pick him - average 85)
2016 : Zerrett <500k (didn't pick him - average 110)
He's got the scorin ability going off his TAC and State carnival averages and if he's given no.1 role with a pinch hitter I feel he'd be worth 366k... All circumstantial though!
Nice team mate.
Love the defensive picks and looks solid all over.
If Sandi fires can see you doing very well.
I see you've nearly reached coach status too... Elxam comp beckons :)

cheers mate, just as long as sandi hits at least 450k he's done the job.
Sounds like a great comp, just had a little read up on it... really good stuff
Which is better?
Option 1:
Beams, Sandilands, Lynch, Ryder
Option 2:
Hannebery, Gawn, (M.White, B.Jack - Both just place holders)
Given that Option 1 has 12 premiums and 3 mid-pricers (Beams, Sandi, Ryder) whereas option two has 13 premiums and not mid-pricers. So 12 100% keepers v 13 of them.
Tom Lynch is an interesting one Fasttrack, priced at 507,200 you're obviously expecting him to be a keeper, which I have him probably just outside the top 10 fwds, though could increase with the added responsibility plus a fit and settled GC mid-field.
Ryder is a marginal pick (who I have in my prelim side), becomes more attractive if you pick Sandilands and loophole through to F6/7 by seasons end.
Beams and Sandi (barring injury) should both make enough money to trade to a fallen premium, with an outside chance each of becoming keepers in their own rights.
Option 1: More risk (especially injury), more trades likely to finish, though potentially more points early (my guess 110 + 105 + 93 + 93 = 401)
Option 2: Far safer, potentially less trades, both premiums potential C loophole options (Gawn more so), probably less points on the park early (my guess 114 + 114 + 70 + 65 = 363)
I like the potential reward, so I'd be going Option !

So I'll probably get ridiculed for a number of these but in no particular order
Deledio
Dahlhaus
MacCrae
Greene
Buddy
JJK
Gunston
Harley Bennell (don't laugh ;) )
I then had Lynch in a group with Cyril, Roughy (dependent on fitness), Paddy, Caddy, and NRoo, pretty much throw a blanket over them
I like Tom Lynch a lot this year. Has demonstrated the capacity to score, also feel the addition of captaincy will have him improving ala NRoo as he leads from the front.
Out of buddy, jjk and TL he would be my preferred KPF. Definitely see him as a top 10 fwd for 2017. Roughy and NRoo are the other potential KPF worth a crack as part of a strategy. The objective is to pick them as they begin a run of inform scoring and trade them out at their Peak before the normal dip occurs or vice a versa. I just feel it is too hard to pick the timing to make this work. Therefore a F/M dominant forward line with one KPF and a R/F out of ryder or Nankervis. I am hoping Nank can do a Gawn or Martin and have a great second half of the season averaging over 100k.
Lynch was a lock for me until I realised GC have the early bye along with Port. If I don't start Ryder he will be in my rd 1 team

I took a look at JJK's early fixture and he could be a really good pick to get things going early on:
North, Saints (H), Tigs, Swans (H), Hawks. (2 decent teams at home and 1 away, then a couple of trash ones away as well)

I'll give you Dahl+Macrae plus Bennell if the bloke is fit (probs Kennedy too)... The rest I doubt it. Only one of the GWS guys will, just aren't enough points for them all. Gunstons scores will drop with hawthorn. Buddy always hard to determine his average (90-110 range). Cyril, Caddy, Nroo all good chances too.
My Top 10 probably:
Dahl
JJK
Macrae
Bennell
Lynch
Buddy
Nroo
Cyril
Caddy
Greene/Lids
Caleb Daniel, Touk Miller, Tom (Adelaide) Lynch, Higgins, Devon Smith, Blake Acres, Isaac Heeney and Jordan DeGoey are guys i won't select but expect to be it the 80s at least - some may push 90+

Miller is a player that warrants keeping an eye on this year. With another preseason in him more support around the ball to get it out to him, he could improve to 90+. At best would be a F6 option if I was to start him and will wait and see come first couple of rounds.

So it's effectively:
Hanners, Gawn, White, Turner vs Beams, Sandi, Lynch, Nank
I'm personally not a fan of the Nank pick, as I can't see him taking the #1 ruck spot from Hampson, and won't score well enough as the #2 ruck (if the Tigs even go with 2 ruckmen). Hence why I'd go with option 1.
There is still obviously some value in Beams and Sandi though, so if you swapped Nank for someone like Clugg and then upgraded another basement rookie to someone like Taranto, SPS, etc (basically any top-end rookie), then I'd be leaning towards that.
Feel like the "mid pricers" you have selected are good. However guns and rookies will always be safer ;)
Agree with GNR, but you have to wait till practice matches for final rookies as this will stuff your guns selection dollars

Yeah I would really prefer Goldy over Grundy as although Grundy will improve you will still be losing 5 points per game having him over Goldy.
Good structure however like that you're going cheap up forward as there are so many bargains.
As a Collingwood fan I can understand the Howe pick as he would be a nice pod and someone you would love to watch but I can't understand why you would pick Kelly?

I remember him from a couple of years ago, was flying then got injured... Played really well in SANFL last year, honestly just a place holder but if he gets games he will average 70+
Def: Howe? Kelly? I would think McGrath is a better choice than Kelly. Howe I think maybe get a Adams from Collingwood or a Rance or even a larid there all better option around that price.
Mid: No Fault
Ruc: Grundy???? His not a good option at 500k if i were you i would downgrade to sandi or and then upgrade another position or find the cash to get a Goldy.
Fwd: Matthew White??? I think a McCluggage or a bowes will score better than him.
I like your team structure and most of it but you just got some weird players that won't score as high as their priced but other then that I like your team :)

Yeah i have looked at that for quite a while, the premium defenders in rd11 are overpriced for mine and i have no idea who i'd pick from the round 12 bye.
My premium bye set up (0-5-2-6) is well enough balanced, i'd say that the cash cows will be moved on at their bye or well before it... Something i think i'll have to monitor
(http://i.imgur.com/5kKwkLq.png)
Latest Changes...
Only spot i'm indecisive with is Treloar v Titch... I think Titch's price is a little unsettling. Would free up some cash for rookie adjustments though!
Currently working out a trading plan for my bye's which enzedder pointed out is not gonna sit well in defence unless i trade my way out of it.
If I was you I would stick with Trealor as I think he will improve again this season whereas Mitchell has a few to many question marks when it comes to disposal efficency.
Good team however, I love it.

Brought in swallow ridding me of conundrum of Treloar v Titch
That allowed me to strengthen forward line By adding Gunston
Main concern would be midfield and defense rookies right now (Hampton, Newman, Powell-Pepper + mid bench options)
Was also very trigger happy going Howe to Adams
Howe + Hanners v Adams + Priddis
Need 10k more to get Priddis Back to hanners
Team looks good.
White to Teia Miles who is likely to play round 1 as per Hodge's comments.
Then Priddis to Hanners.

Adams and Hibberd in midfield due to rookies being of higher stander or quantity in defence. Intend of both those guys being swung there at some stage.

Adams and Hibberd in midfield due to rookies being of higher stander or quantity in defence. Intend of both those guys being swung there at some stage.
1) Id considered strengthening your fwd line
2) Adams in the midfield is strange
3) I like the WHE pick
He's there pretty much only because i can't fit him in my backline.
For instance, if a more reliable mid rookie popped up i'd drop the least preferable defence rookie and adams slots into the backline.
I get what you're saying but it's the same as having a 5-1-2 mid structure and a 3-0-3 forward structure. The extra rookie who would've been playing midfield is just up forward now.
I decided that around 430k across each line, macmillan for me would be the most likely to reach keeper status so i picked him. If If i saw the same value in Touk Miller then adams would become a defender again and White would move back into the middle, or conversly if i saw that in the midfield eg. Marc Murphy then forward line stays the same and adams still goes back to defence.
Ultimately will come down to rookie selection but there's next to no difference on who would be onfield. Comes down to macmillan v similarly priced players in other positions.
If that makes sense...?
Jmac will be a good pick I like him a lot

Team selection dependant, thoughts?
Structure is sound, no cover for Sandilands is risky though.
Understand going deep in mids and light in def, given lack of mid rookies.
Love the Kelly and Steele picks.
Rather perplexed by the Ramsay selection, you have 5 defenders all with the same bye too. Wouldn't Thurlow be a better choice? What do you see Ramsay averaging?
Cheers for all the help over the off-season.
Team ended up as:
DEF: Laird, Howe, Marchbank, Ramsay, Otten, Hampton (Hibberd, Stewart)

At this stage Hanners, O'Meara and Ramsay are the guys i'm dissapointed in to start with. Didn't make any trades last week.
My original thoughts this week are:
Out: Hanners and Jaeger
In: Heppell and M.Murphy
- Jaeger is handballing too much for mine and it'll continue to hurt his scores
- Hanners seems really underdone for whatever reason
- I would trade hibberd and pickett, but given hayward and newman still have another week i'll wait.
- I wanna stick with ramsay as i think he will come good, but Burton is another guy who could be on the in after another solid performance
Did end up doing the trades i said, although screwed up by forgetting to have hampton on for stewart. Costing myself 62 points. Still a reasonable score of 2210 but cost myself top 4,000 overall. I am sitting 9200ish.

Considering Ramsay+Hibberd to Burton+Newman, what are everyone's thoughts about those?

Your team is looking good, I'd definitely bring in Newman but I'm not sure on Burton.
Solid last couple of weeks:
Round 4: 2118
Round 5: 2353 (352nd for the round)
Have now moved up to 1,193 overall!
Team as it stands:
Laird, Howe, Marchbank, Otten, Hampton, Williamson (Stewart, Newman)
Danger, Selwood, Kennedy, Treloar, Fyfe, Beams, Heppell, Murphy (SPP, Barrett, Hibberd)
Martin, Witts (Strnadica)
Dahlhaus, Franklin, Nankervis, Steele, WHE, Houston (Butler, Hannan)
This week i'm thinking of going:
Murphy --> Macrae (Even if he isn't out i feel like his run has come to an end, has made a lot of cash and scored well)
SPP --> Balic/Fisher (Dependant on Balic being selected or not.)
In the following weeks i'm looking at:
Hannan --> Black
Stewart --> Hibberd
Butler --> Parsons
Otten --> Docherty
Hampton --> Shaw
WHE to --> Kennedy
Houston --> Myers
That's the order that seems likely but it could change
Other options this week is i could take advantage of both balic and fisher this week by trading murphy and SPP to them?
Would love some thoughts
How much money do you have?
You could see if Murphy plays as he may very well be a keeper. I have him also and your team and mine are pretty close in the rankings, I'm ranked 1116th.
You could try, if you have some cash-
SPP to Balic/Fisher
WHE to Macrae
Otherwise your trades look fine.
Surely you can't trade Murphy now, he's averaging 123 and still every chance to average enough for M8 at least, one bad game shouldn't change that. I'd look at Hannan/SPP for Balic/Fisher, I think you can afford to double downgrade this week with nowhere in desperate need of upgrading, then next week, depending on the rookies available, could go Butler/WHE - Black/Macrae, I feel like this would put you in a much stronger position instead of sideways trading Murph this week.

Agree with TomK here. Hold Murphy for the moment.
If you have the coin to do it I would be going SPP to Balic and one of Houston/Butler/WHE to Macrae
