Now that we are in business and SuperCoach is open I'm free to give advice if you need it.
I have been following most teams/players preseasons pretty closely and was top 100 in SC for most of last year until a poor last round score going for a Hail Mary.
So ask away and I'll get to them when I can :)
My concerns on a few popular picks
- Lobbe: For me the risk with Lobbe is too high in 2014. He had a great finish to 2013 but in most the games he scored well in he competed against inexperienced ruckmen. At 464k he would need to average 100+ to be a viable pick, putting him in the top 4 rucks. For the price and hopeful return, the value just isn't there.
- Zorko: For his role he is one of best players in the league, unfortunately this role is not great for fantasy scoring. He is 2nd to only Mayne for forward 50 pressure acts. Because of this I do not see Leppa releasing Zorko into the midfield like his debut season. Since his debut year Brissie have also added Moloney to that midfield group.
- Grundy: Relying on a 2nd year player to pump out premo numbers is just too much to ask. Especially when most ruckmen aren't AFL ready until 22+. Yes they will back him in at the Pies most the year but the value just isn't there. In his debut year he only went over 76 once and will need to average 87+ to make 100k and be a viable pick. I can't see that happening especially early on when Collingwood face Freo, Sydney, Geelong in the first three rounds. No doubt he will be a star one day but he is cheap for a reason.
- Wingard: Had an amazing year in 2013 but he has a much tougher draw in 2014 and will certainly cop a lot more attention I cannot see any improvement. In 2013 he averaged only 83 against the top 8 sides and 111 against the bottom 9. This year Port face Freo twice, Sydney twice and Cartlon twice, and more top 8 sides than last year. As much of a star this kid is/will be, expect him to go backwards slightly in 2014.
Which mid price forward would be the best pick?
Gunston, Zorko, Pav

Gunston, Zorko, Pav
Zorko plays the small fwd role too well. Unfortunately this role isn't great for fantasy. His pressure inside the fwd 50 is the best in the league so I cannot see the Lions releasing him back into that midfield role he had in his debut season. Also with a midfield of Rocky, Redden, Moloney, Rich it'll be even harder to get decent midfield time.
Gunston will be a star don't get me wrong but he is still a class below Pavlich. Now that Buddy has gone it will be interesting to see if he cope with the extra attention and build on his career best average of 83 from last year.
Pav in a heart beat mate. He has been fantasy royalty for many years and is enjoying a good preseaosn so far to date. Compared to last year where he had injuries during preaseason, came back underdone due to it and then struggled to get fit during the season. Apart from last year he has never averaged under 99 and his SC stats of the past decade are comparable to no-one bar NRoo. Don't let age scare you either because we saw what NRoo produced this year in a much weaker team.
Grimes, Pavlich and Nic Nat or McKenzie, Gunston and Lobbe?

Grimes, Pavlich and Nic Nat or McKenzie, Gunston and Lobbe?
Grimes, Pavlich and NicNat by a mile mate.
McKenzie is missing a month of training with an ankle so may be a little underdone going into the season. Gunston is unproven and we are yet to see how he copes with the attention without Buddy. Lobbe is also unproven and even though he finished off the year strong it was against some pretty weak opposition ruckmen.
Pavlich is a proven gun as I mentioned in the post above. NicNat is back into full training now after being managed. WCE also have a dream start to the year with Bullies, Melbourne, Saints to start. Grimes should also thrive under Roos and there is talk he will move back to his role across half back where he scores very well.
Thanks mate!
Could I also get you opinion on my team:
Ive actually decided on this team:
Def: McVeigh, Mitchell, Grimes, Swallow, Suckling, McDonald (Fuller, Cutler)
Mid: Ablett, Pendlebury, Murphy, Beams, Thomas, Martin, Michie, Ellis (Taylor, Dunstan)

Of course mate.
DEF: Great line with 2 top end premos, a couple of underpriced premos and a breakout contender in Swallow. I would also consider Birchall.
MIDS: Again another good line. Murphy, Beams and Thomas all represent great value and your rookies are solid also.
RUCKS: Perfect. The same as mine and many others
FWDS: Danger and Martin are top end premos and both Franklin and Pav are underpriced proven premos. If Clark isn't fit R1 then look to Fasolo, Rohan, Higgins, Bock. Garlett is probably the pick of the fwd rookies at this stage and the rest will be more obvious in NAB Challenge.
Overall a very solid team mate. I like your mixture of proven premos, underpriced premos and rookies.
Would love to get the great Ric's advice on my team. My first draft, so dont be too harsh ;) got 28k in the kitty. Cheers man.

Haha just for you mate
DEF: I have had concern over Bartel's downward trend in fantasy scoring and even though it continued in DT last year his SC improved. I still have some concerns but he has been a genuine premo for so many years so should be well worth the cash. McVeigh is another top end premo along with Hanley and Suckling is underpriced due to injuries. Love the Swallow pick as a breakout contender too, I have been strongly considering him. Rookies are solid also with Laidler easily swapped to McDonald with that extra cash if needed. Fuller is probably the next best rookie defender along with a couple of Bombers boys in Aylett, Edwards and Ashby.
MIDS: Love the mix of top end premos (GAJ and Pendles) and underpriced premos (Murphy, Beams and Thomas). JMartin will be huge this year and well worth the cash. Dunstan is probably the best "cheap" rookie in terms of JS being at the Saints. Love that you have a dpp link with Garlett also.
RUCKS: Same as most and a very solid line. NicNat and Sandi combo represent good value and premo scoring.
FWDS: Again a good mix of proven premos and value with Danger, Martin and Buddy. I'm not 100% sold on Gunston purely because we haven't seen him or the Hawks cope without Buddy over many games. At an 83ave and 447k he would have to improve to a 100+ average to 1) become a top end premo and/or 2) make you more than 100k. But that's just my criteria for pick breakout contenders. Clark is in doubt for round 1 with Melb yet to state a return date. Consider Rohan, Fasolo, Higgins here.
Overall a very nice team man. Its probably one of the best with nearly an all out Guns and Rooks strategy, with a couple of midpricers chucked in. If all those rookies play from the get go and over the first half of the season you will generate a fair chunk of cash. Personally I have only gone with only 1 rookie defender (on field), 2 mid rooks and Fasolo/Rohan at F6. But with a lot of mid pricers and a lot more risk. It's interesting to see the two different strategies.

No worries mate.
Was thinking about atley as a breakout contender . .? At 394k there is a bit too much risk for me mate. To be a viable selection as a breakout pick he would need to average in the early 90s to make 100k. This is on par with guys like Adcock. Personally I see a nice improvement of 10ish points but not enough to pick him at that price.
Do you think Hanley will be top 6-8 defender . ? Yes quite easily a top 8, and even top 5.
All the hype about lobbe , is he the bargain / breakout people are thinking he will be . .? I'm not sold on him. I think he has another year or two under his belt before he'll join the top end premos. His finish to the year was good but it was against Blicavs/Vardy, Grundy, Gorringe and a tough one against ZClarke. There's also the concern that Redden will play along side him, affecting his scores.
Is jobe too good a price to miss out on . .? On par with Cotchin in terms of value and what they can produce. Unfortunately I couldn't fit him in but yes he is a very good pick.
Thanks for that, Ric :) love your work.
Quick question regarding replacing Clark. Who would you go out of Rohan, Fasolo and Higgins? Its tough, none really jump out at me but probably the best 3 options in the mid-range category... Or would you consider Hogan or Bock?

DEF: Great top end picks in McVeigh and Mitchell. Thompson is another top 10 pick. Only concern I have with him is picking a player after his first big breakout year. He has averaged 80s before but never this close to 100. Still he is a solid pick based on last years performance. Suckling is great value here. Personally I don't like play 2 rookies on the field this year. Only because there hasn't been many standout rookies from this line in all the preseason talk but this could change over NAB Challenge.
MIDS: First of all being a Freo guy, love your Fyfe pick. He is super unique. There is a lot of value in this line which I really like. Michie dominated WAFL last year, even though he missed the last few games. He should get the opportunity at the Dees to show what he can do. Your rookies are solid also and like the dpp link.
RUCKS: Again this is a pretty standard setup across quite a few teams and my favourite at that.
FWDS: Very Strong. Danger, Martin, ROughy, Buddy and Pavlich are all proven premos and both Pav and Buddy are great value. Keep an eye on Kersten, he has had an interrupted preseason. Other rookies to consider are Impey and Lloyd.

DEF: Great top end picks here brad and Suckers is great value. But as I mentioned to benno123, personally I'm not sold on the rookie defender pool this year and I think fielding two rookies is a bit risky. But we will see over NAB Challenge who stands out.
MIDS: Love the mix of top end premo's and underpriced proven performers. Rookies are also strong. I like this line
RUCKS: NIcNat/Sandi combo is my favourite combo and most will go this way. Rooks will become more obvious over NAB but also consider Nankervis, Thurlow and Lobb on your watchlist.
FWDS: Love the Chappy pick. I have him also and think we'll see him back up the top end of the scorers. At his price he is a perfect pick. Again a good mix of top end premos and value picks. Keep an Clark. As I mentioned to Jay, he is in doubt for round 1. Consider Fasolo or Higgins.
Overall a good start mate. You have a good balance of premos and value picks. My only concern is the depth of the backline with fielding two rookies every week but we can monitor that over NAB Challenge.

No dramas mate. In terms of proven scorers I like Higgins. It depends how much risk you want to take but at only 250k I think he is the best pick here. Plus if he does fail at that price you can drop down to Fasolo or Rohan without needing any extra cash
Hey Ric, hope you don't mind a bit of a squizz at my full team (got a pic because I wanted to save myself a draft).
(http://i.imgur.com/IyBPZwO.png)
Basically, my biggest problems are certain positions, with those being:
- Not sure about Lumumba or who to pick instead.
- Do I need GAJ, and how should I go about getting him in if I do?
- Is that forward line too risky?
Any other analysis and advice is most welcome. :)

Hey man, no dramas.
DEF: Interesting pick with Harry. I'm not really a fan tbh. He scored really well when playing up on a wing but with Shaw gone and Seedy injured we might see him back to his backline role. Around that price I would probably rather Birchall, Henderson or Grimes. Love your Hurn pick though. He is already about 8-10 points under priced with his vest and there are rumours of more time up the ground. Sucking is great value and your top end premos are solid.
MID: Interesting couple of uniques here. Sloane is a great POD and Ellis already represents good value because of his vests. Only concern with Ellis is coming off a first real breakout year that you rarely see kids back it up. But if he does it will be a genius pick. Pendles and Beams are great picks and your rookies are fine.
RUCKS: Mummy is a nice POD and premo scorer. I'm not a massive fan of the Lobbe pick as he is unproven and your missing out on the value of Sandi or HMac. If your going down the track of set and forget I would look at a proven player at R2. Personally I don't see the reward equalling the risk involved with Lobbe, but that is just my opinion on him.
FWDS: Martin is a great top end premo pick and love Caddy as a breakout mid pricer. Interest pick in Tippett, any reason why over someone like Buddy? Clark is in doubt for R1 with no return date set for him so I'd look to Fasolo, Higgins, Rohan as possible replacements.
Overrall not bad mate. A couple of very nice POD picks and a couple that I'm not too keen on but they could pay off. On Harry I would look to Birchall, Hendo or Grimes. Tbh I think GAJ is a must and I think he is actually under priced. And I'd be interested to hear your reasonings on Tippett, because to me it makes your fwd line look a little weak but I'm sure you have some good reasons :)

Yeah, was originally gonna go with Seedy, but then he went for surgery and that was that. I'm thinking Hendo or Grimes as well, might flip a coin on it, or alternatively see what the trend is and go the other way.

I figured that if I can pick the right uniques that will still score as well as the standard picks, then I should be fine. I had Cotch before Ellis, but as the days go by, I feel more and more inclined to take the risk on Brandy.

I really think Mummy can get back to his 2011 scoring, or if not, closer to it than the past couple of years. I'm not sure whether I'm too keen on picking a HMac or a Sandi given their injuries, so I'm wondering whether setting and forgetting with somebody like big Will Minson alongside is the go.

For me, it was either Lukey Parker or Josh Caddy. Flipped a coin and decided to roll with Caddy, if I wasn't to go with either, I thought of taking a risk of Luke Dahlhaus. I reckon as far as a Clark replacement goes, I'll go with Missy Higgins. He's got great upside if he stays on the park. As for Buddy, it seems like a lot of people will be picking him, and I reckon Tippz will have a similar output and that by picking him instead, I'm not losing out by much, if at all.

What are your thoughts on Luke Parker? Can he lift to premium status... cheers
Hey Rico
Thanks for putting up an advice thread:
For F2/F3 spot (Behind Danger): Franklin + Pavlich or Dustmart + Darling?
For my mind it's a clear Buddy Pavlova but I have a Dustbin Vendetta after he killed me 2 years running, which probably gives me a mental block against picking him. Just concerned about whether Buddy and Pav can find their form again... If they can I think there's every chance Dustbin won't be top 6...

DEF: Probably one of the better defensive lines I've seen mate. Great top end premos with a good breakout contender and an underpriced premo. Great line.
MIDS: Another good line. Some great value picks in Cotchin, Thomas and Beams. Some good rookies here also. Be wary of Morabito. He will struggle to get in the best 22 and if so will likely cop vests.
RUCKS: Personally I'm not a massive fan of Lobbe for reasons giving to some people above. You could look at going Cotchin down to Murphy to bring the extra cash and then Lobbe to NicNat. Lobb and Nank are good rookie picks also. Also consider Thurlow.
FWDS: Love the Pav pick and your top end premos in Martin and Danger. Franklin speaks for himself and Garlett looks like playing round 1.
Overall one of the better teams I've seen mate apart from the Lobbe pick but thats just my opinion on him. If you could get NicNat in for him it would finish it off
Thanks Rico!!!
Murph's value is too good to overlook.

DEF: Very solid mate. Birchall, Suckling Hendo and Grimes all represent great value and your rookies are fine.
MIDS: Agree Cotchin would finish that midfield off. I'd look at Barlow as the one to go, as much as it kills me to say it. No doubt that Aish has talent but I would still look to try and fit JMartin in. The kid is a freak mate, I reckon he'll have a better year than O'meara.
RUCKS: NicNat/Longer is an interesting combo. Any reason for not going Sandi/Hmac? Injury concerns are there but they are proven scorers. Lobb and Nank are fine for rookies.
FWDS: Again like this line. Danger, Martin, Buddy and Pav are all ripper picks. Clark has some serious doubt of a return before round 1 so consider Higgins or Rohan as his replacement.

Defenders: McVeigh, Mitchell, Thompson, Swallow, Suckling, Kolojashnij (Fuller, Cutler)
Midfielders: Pendlebury, Swan, Steven, Murphy, Beams, Martin, Michie, Dunstan (Crouch, Garlett)
Rucks: Lobbe, Sandilands (Lobb, Nankervis)
Forwards: Dangerfield, Martin, Gunston, Clark, Fasolo, Lennon (Impey, Honeychurch)
$52,800 left
DEF: Nice POD in Thompson. Someone else on here had picked him also. I am a little wary on picking players straight after a big breakout year so I'm staying away but based on last year he is a solid pick. Love the Swallow breakout pick. He was talent no doubt, he just needs the mid time.
MIDS: Quite a few PODs here also. Haven't seen many teams with Swan or mainly Steven. Not a massive fan of the Steven pick because Saints will get worse before they get better. However Saints have a very juicy start to the year so he could destroy it early on. I'd also consider DThomas for his price. Your rookies are fine also, and love the dpp link with Garlett.
RUCKS: I've given my reasons to a few people above why I don't like the Lobbe pick but I can see why people are picking him. Sandi is great value pick and your rookies are fine.
FWDS. Gunston is a nice POD however I'm still not sure on how he will cope without Buddy. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. Clark still doesnt have a return date set so I would look at Higgins or Rohan as a replacement.

Hi mate
really happy with this team i think it's really well balanced on all the lines with some good POD's
if there are enough good rookie mid options i'll downgrade Daisy to a rookie and upgrade Rohan
Cheers
Quote from: Bennny on January 30, 2014, 11:32:28 PM
What are your thoughts on Luke Parker? Can he lift to premium status... cheers
He'd probably need to lift to 100ave which is definitely possible. But I think we'll see the best of Parker in another year or two when he firmly establishes himself in that starting midfield. At an 87 average I don't think you miss out on much by not starting him and picking him up later if he does increase closer to the 100ave. The potential for premo status is there but the value for picking him straight up probably isn't.
Quote from: GCSkiwi on January 31, 2014, 07:08:36 AM
Hey Rico
Thanks for putting up an advice thread:
For F2/F3 spot (Behind Danger): Franklin + Pavlich or Dustmart + Darling?
For my mind it's a clear Buddy Pavlova but I have a Dustbin Vendetta after he killed me 2 years running, which probably gives me a mental block against picking him. Just concerned about whether Buddy and Pav can find their form again... If they can I think there's every chance Dustbin won't be top 6...
Yeh I think you have to go Buddy and Pav here. Buddy will average similar to Dusty and even though I've picked Darling for a breakout year, Pav will easy beat him by seasons end. The only thing Darling does have going for him is he has a very easy start to the year. But yeh mate go Buddy and Pav

Hey mate, appreciate some help with this one haha thanks mate!
DEF: Another Thompson pick. As I've mentioned before I don't really like picking players straight after a big breakout year but based on last year he should be a top end premo along with McVeigh and Mitchell. Again, love the Swallow pick for a breakout year. Sucking is great value and your rookies are fine.
MIDS: Wow another Steven pick as well. A nice POD there. I have given my thoughts on him to The Pelican just above. Rocky, Beams and Thomas are all great value picks and your rookies are perfect.
RUCKS: Standard ruck setup which is perfect. Rookies are interesting though. I would also consider Lobb, Nankervis and Thurlow.
FWDS: Danger, Martin, Buddy are all great picks. Clark still doesnt have a return date set so I would look at Higgins or Rohan as a replacement. Garlett looks like playing early so he is fine at F6.

DEF: Some great value picks in Swallow, Simpson, Suckling. Mitchell is a top end premo and I have given my thoughts on Thompson to a few people this morning.
MIDS: A solid line of Guns and Rooks here. I'd also consider JMartin, Sheed and Ellis for your rooks. I'd also consider DThomas as a value pick.
RUCKS: Standard ruckline here and the best one imo.
FWDS: Probably a little too weak at the back end mate. Most teams will field a midpricer like Higgins, Clark, Fasolo, Rohan at F5 and some teams even have one at F6. Danger, Buddy and Martin are fine. I'm not completely sold on Gunston and Gray is quite a risky pick but you have to take some risks so have no problem with either.

Haha your not wrong about a few PODs!
DEF Thompson, Hibberd and Houli are fine picks. I'm not that keen on Thompson but he does have some admirers. Interesting you have no love for Birchall though. Swallow is primed for a breakout year and Suckling is great value.
MIDS: Rocky, Cotchin, Beams and Thomas are all under priced premos and your rookies are fine. Also consider Sheed and Ellis.
RUCKS: Standard ruckline and the best combo imo.
FWDS: Danger and Martin are great top end picks, Pavlich is a good under priced premo and Parker could breakout even further. Although for Parker to be a viable pick he would need to average 100 to be a top end premo. If you can see that happening then keep him. Hogan did jar his knee not too long ago so keep an eye on him. I'd also consider Higgins or Fasolo here.

i like Birchall but don't want him and Suckling not a fan of having two premos from the same team in one line don't know why really
The Hogan spot is still up for grabs between a few guys Fasolo etc
Parker is an interesting one in the forward line i prefer mid/fwds if i can over KPP guys and i do think he can get up around 95+ which makes him worth picking imo

DEF: Like your first four picks with top end premos and under priced picks. Atley is an interesting one. Although I think he will one day become fantasy relevant, at nearly 400k he would have to average 95 to only make you 100k and that would put him nearly inside the top 10 defenders. I don't think he's quite there yet. I'd much rather find a bit more cash and look at DSwallow or JGrimes.
MIDS: Very strong line mate. Great top end picks with some good value also. Watson, Thomas and Beams are all under priced. Tyson and Michie should get good opportunity at the Dees and both have shown signs of being good scorers. Your other rooks are fine also.
RUCKS: I'm not a fan of the Lobbe pick and have my reasons on the opening post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). Sandi is a great pick at that price.
FWDS: The forwards look a little weak to me. Maybe due to the midfield being so strong. Danger, Martin and Buddy are all proven premos and both Higgins and Rohan are great value. A lot of teams have being going with a 200k proven pick at F6 so I think this is why having one 250k pick at F4, one 200k pick at F5 and a rookie at F6 makes the fwd line look weak. Maybe look to downgrade Tyson/Michie/CBeams to a cheaper rookie or Pendles down to MMurphy or Rockliff. This should free up some cash

Quote from: Ricochet on January 29, 2014, 04:25:03 PM
Also adding Savage to the watchlist.
- Priced at a 63ave but went 83 unsubbed
- That equals 100-110k underpriced.
- GWS and Melbourne to start the year also.
- Only concern is performing in a weaker side

I have a couple of options that you could pick on from (or a couple) to save some cash
Clark to Fasolo/Rohan
Michie to Ellis
Ziebell to MUrphy
SJ to Rockliff/Watson/Cotchin
I would also look to upgrade Duffield. His role is too defensive now and gets to many lockdown roles. He will be very inconsistent
Hey Rico,
Just wondering if you think it's worth having 2 premium rucks if it's at the expense of a 4th premium forward (I have Fasolo at F4).

At this stage I'm not a massive fan of it mate. The value at R2 is definitely there this year with Sandi/Hmac/Longer, and Fasolo at F4 would leave your fwd line very weak at F5 and F6. But it would depend on which 2 premo rucks you were looking at and your forward line?
Hey mate,
Thoughts on which combination for my team?
Buddy & Swallow or Pavlich & Hurn/McKenzie.

Hey mate,
Thoughts on which combination for my team?
Buddy & Swallow or Pavlich & Hurn/McKenzie.
I can see Buddy getting back to his best at 110+ compared to Pav at around 100-105.
Mckenzie has had an interrupted preseason so I would stay away here.
I like both the Swallow and Hurn picks but have Hurn just over Swallow because he is more proven.
So go with Buddy and Swallow just mate. It's hard to predict what Swallow will do this year but he's primed for a breakout year and shouldn't be to far off Hurn.
Fair enough yeah you are right, thanks man.

MIDS: Keep an eye on Jelwood after missing a few weeks of training while in a moon boot after having surgery on his foot recently. They say he should be right for round 1 but he may start slow. Cotch, Beams and Thomas are all great value and your rookies are fine. I would seriously consider JMartin though. He is a freak
RUCKS: Love the unique pick in Mummy. And Sandi is great value.
FWDS: Good top end premo's and Parker is also primed for another little breakout. I do have concerns with starting Parker at his price though. I'll post my thoughts on him below. Not a fan of the Menzel pick when there are more established an proven players at that price. Consider Fasolo, Higgins, Rohan. Kersten and Taylor have had injury interrupted preseasons so keep an eye on them. Watch Broomhead and Loyd through NAB.

Yeh its a risk but we still have quite a few trades up our sleeve.
DEF: If Thompson was McVeigh/Mitchell then this would be one of my favourite defensive lines. I'm just a bit wary of picking guys the year after a breakout year. But you have a good mix of proven premos and value in under pricers.
MIDS: A good mix of top end premo's and value picks here. Rocky, Beams and Thomas are great value. Your rookies are fine for now but I would also strongly consider JMartin. Don't let the price tag scare you.
RUCK: Super strong with 2 set and forget premos.
FWDS: This is where the problem lies with 2 premo rucks. F1-F3 are fine and great picks but Fasolo at F4 and then 2 rookies at F5-F6 is just to risky mate. If you were able to field 2-3 of Higgins, Clark (although he is in doubt for round 1), Fasolo, Rohan, Lamb at F4,F5 and maybe even F6 then it would be ok as they have a lot higher JS than these rookies.

Keep an eye on him though, Saints will get worse before they get better. MMurphy and DBeams are great value.

FWDS: Great top end picks in Danger and Martin. Buddy is great value and will return to his best. Clark hasn't put a date on his return yet so look to Higgins/Fasolo/Rohan/Lamb here. I have concerns with starting 2 rookies at F5 and F6. Most will field a 200-250k proven midpricer at F5. Fielding two rookies just makes this line look a little weak.

FWDS: Great top end picks in Danger and Martin. Buddy is great value and will return to his best. Clark hasn't put a date on his return yet so look to Higgins/Fasolo/Rohan/Lamb here. I have concerns with starting 2 rookies at F5 and F6. Most will field a 200-250k proven midpricer at F5. Fielding two rookies just makes this line look a little weak.
Would that first team or;
Lobbe-->Nic Nat
Murphy-->Thomas
Morabito-->Dunstan
White-->Fasolo
Clark-->Lamb
Wondering if you think they would be better selections
DEF: J. McVeigh, S. Mitchell, P. Hanley, M. Suckling, K. Kolodjashnij, L. McDonald (J. Laidler, M. Fuller)

R: Grundy, Sandilands (Lobb, Nankervis)
F: Dangerfield, Martin, Franklin, Fasolo, Rohan, Garlett (Markworth, Taylor)
$6.7k remaining
DEF: This line looks a little weak mate. You have some great top end pemos in McVeigh and Mitchell with a great value pick in Suckling and a semi risky premo in Hodge. Then it drops right away to two rookies. Most teams will only be fielding one rookie in defence this year to start with as the rookie pool is quite thin in terms of defenders. I would look to add in another premo to this line. I would also look to maybe go Hodge to Birchall. Birch is a proven premo and underpriced due to his injury last year.
MIDS: Strong line mate. Ablett and Pendles are all class with Rocky, Beams and Thomas all under priced proven premos. JPK is an interesting POD. If he can return to his past form it will be a genius pick but he handballs a bit too much for my liking. Would probably prefer Murphy here. Your rookies are strong also.
RUCKS: I have my concerns with Grundy. See the OP here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). Sandi is great value though.
FWDS: Like this line a lot. A good mix of top end premos and some value picks. Also consider Higgins and Lamb for those last few field spots.
Overall pretty good mate but look to strengthen that backline and maybe upgrade Grundy. It will come at the expense of your midfield but there is good value in that group if you look into it.

Way too many hawks in that backline mate. Go hodge to another premo.
I don't think thats too much of an issue. Its only 3 players from Round 9 which means one can be traded after round 8 to a premo coming off that bye. Fuller is also a R9 bye but he will most likely be upgraded/downgraded by then. In saying that I would prefer Birchall over Hodge in that backline.

Let me know what you think man! The bye structure is 12/8/10 which isn't too bad. Because I see trades happening before round 8 anyway. Thanks
DEF: A very solid line with two top end premos, and a couple of value picks. Your rookies a fine also. Good defensive line.
MIDS: A nice POD in Steven. However I have voiced my concerns over this pick before but they do have a very easy start to the year. Keep an eye on him though, Saints will get worse before they get better. MMurphy and DBeams are great value. Morabito will struggle to line up round 1 and even if he does break into the team he will cop the vest quite often. I'd stay away from him. Consider Ellis, Sheed and Dunstan.

DEF: Not a fan of starting two rookies each week in defence this year mate. The rookie pool is quite thin as it is for this line and relying on 4 rookies to play each week is very very risky. You have a good mix of top end premos and value picks there but would like to see an upgrade on one of those rookies.
MIDS: Good line. Again a good mix of top end premos in Ablett and Pendles, with some proven under pricers in Cotchin, Beams and Thomas. Your rooks are very strong also. Also consider Ellis as Taylor has had an interrupted preseason.
RUCKS: Interesting combo with NicNat and Lobbe. Love the NicNat pick but have my concerns with Lobbe. See the Opening Post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742).
FWDS: Very strong mate. I'm still not sure on what Gunston will do this year though. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. He won't go up too much in price.

At M3 it would be between Jobe and Cotchin for me. Go with Cotchin mate. Still managed a 106 ave after battling with a knee injury all year and has a very very easy draw this year.
Zirbell would be my pick between those two but also consider MMurphy

DEF: A very strong backline mate with 4 premo's and the under priced Suckers. I have had concern over Bartel's downward trend in fantasy scoring and even though it continued in DT last year his SC improved. I still have some concerns but he has been a genuine premo for so many years so should be well worth the cash. I do like this line though if it doesn't affect the other lines by spending lots of cash here.
MIDS: Solid mate, with a couple of top end premos and some underpriced proven players. JMartin will be a star and you other rookeis are ok. Also consider Sheed and Ellis.
RUCKS: This is where the strong backline has affected. I'm not sold on Lobbe and have given my thoughts on him in the OP, if you click here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). I'd also prefer Longer over Hickey but then Sandi/HMac over Longer. This line really needs to be looked at.
FWDS: Some good top end premos in Danger and Martin and Buddy is a steal at that price. Caddy is also a great pick being 100k underpriced already based on last year through the number of vests he copped. Clark still hasn't named a return date and is in serious doubt for round 1 so I would consider Higgins, Lamb, Fasolo, Rohan for this spot. Taylor has also had an injury interrupted preseaon so monitor him.
I'd definitely look to strengthen that ruckline mate. Possibly at the expense of downgrading a defensive top end premo to someone like Birchall or even Swallow.
Hey Rico,
Def - Geary/Hurn seems to be on fire, from all reports so i've chosen them atm...!!
Mid - No Ablett/Beams/Thomas & High priced rookies, trying to get more out of securing more prem's
Fwd - Dixon to help cover Rucks if they break down, and Chappy atm because he can dominate....

Now I know that Wattsy is a sore point with some people but with more game time in the middle and paul roos to help shape him, plus excellent disposal and marking ability over other midfielders I am expecting watts to exceed the 86 average he had in 2012 and to break into the 90's. The other option was swallow but could not afford him however both are an upgrade on atley. I believe this will be jacks year!
What do you think of the team?
Hmac or Longer/Sandi combo too risky with limited trades?
Spending the extra 100-170k on Ryder as R1 worth it instead?

Hey mate love a couple of those picks.
DEF: Love the Hurn pick. He is already 8pts under his average due to his vest last year and there is a lot of talk of rotations up the ground. Not too sure on the Geary pick though. Saints will get a lot worse before they get better and at that price I'd probably lean more towards a Grimes or Swallow. The rest looks good.
MIDS: I think you are missing out on a loooot of value by not looking at Beams or Thomas mate. Beams is a super premo and Thomas is so cheap for what he can produce. I'd definitely consider one or both. Also consider JMartin mate. Don't let the pricetag scare you, he is a genuine superstar. For you rookies, keep an eye on Dunstan. He will definitely get games early for the Saints.
RUCKS: The best combo imo. Good line
FWDS: Like Dixon as a pick to cover your rucks and love both the Chappy and Pavlich picks. I think you need to strongly consider Higgins/Fasolo/Lamb/Rohan/Bock/Clark (if they are fit round 1) though. There is great value in those picks.
Overall I would look to capitalise on the value of Beams and Thomas in your mids and use the extra cash to bring in one or two of those cheap fwd 200-250k mid pricers as a replacement to some rookies.

What do you think of the team?
DEF I like your Watts pick. If he can break into the 90s like your hoping then he will make you 100k+ and be a viable pick. Your defence has a good combo of top end premos and value picks. Good line
MIDS: Great picks here. A good mix of top end premos in Pendles and GaJ along with some proven under pricers in Beams, Murphy and Thomas. Your rookies are fine for now. Also consider Sheed and Ellis as Taylor has had an interrupted preseason.
RUCKS: Nice POD in Leuy and Sandi is great value. Keep in mind Brissie have a very tough draw this year
FWDS: Another solid line and love the Pavlich pick. Fasolo and Rohan are great value. If they don't get up for round 1 also consider Higgins and Lamb.
Overall a pretty good team mate. Very solid across the board with some nice PODs there.

Not at all. Only concern I have with HMac is if Simpson plays also (and I think NicNat is great value especially with his early draw).
If some good rookies pop up I'll seriously consider this option myself.
I've gone a bit cold on Ryder purely because Belly should only miss the first few games before he's ready to go. If Bellchambers was out for longer I'd be all over it too. Worth monitoring Bellchambers' progress

Cash left: $46,700
DEF: Some nice top end premos here and like the DSwallow pick. Not sure on Williams though. He gets a few too many lockdown roles for my liking and at that price you can get Grimes for a little bit more or I would strongly suggest going down to Suckling. Also fielding two rookies in defence this year is very risky as we are yet to see many rookie defenders put their hand up as likely round 1 starters. I would look to strengthen this line by upgrading a rookie.
MIDS: Very solid. A good mix of Top end premos and some proven underpricers. You rookies are spot on as well.
RUCKS: Not a big fan of Grundy this year. Cannot see the value in him as a pick. I have given my thoughts in the OP if you click here (http://rico's%20Advice%20Thread). Sandi is great value.
FWDS: Very strong with a couple of top end premos and Buddy for value. Although I think you are missing out on some other value picks in Higgins/Clark/Fasolo/Lamb/Rohan (if they are fit round 1). I also don't think Wingard will improve much this year but thats just my personal opinion based on a tougher draw and more attention.
Have added Wingard to my list of popular picks I'm not so keen. See the opening post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742).

DEF Some good top end premos with a nice POD in Shaw. I'm really not sure on what Heath will do this year, if he will a) cop more attention and b) struggle in a weaker side. But he could pay off for you. Not a fan of fielding two rookies in defence as I've mentioned before. I'd definitely look to upgrade one.
MIDS A good mix of top end premo's and underpriced proven premos, along with some solid rookies. A good line. Also consider Sheed and Ellis as rookie options as Taylor has had an interrupted preseason.
RUCKS Like the NicNat pick but not a fan of Lobbe this year. My thoughts on him are in the Opening Post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). I also think the value of Sandi/HMac is too good to pass up.
FWDS: A nice POD in Roughead along with two top end premos in Dusty and Danger. I love the Caddy pick and have him as well. Also consider Fasolo/Higgins/Lamb/Bock/Clark for your fwd line if fit round 1.
Quote from: Pkbaldy on February 07, 2014, 01:23:29 PM
What are your opinions on Nat Fyfe, Jack Steven, Jobe Watson and Tom Rockliff as a M3?
Fyfe will be a star but the value isn't there just yet so he's a no for me (as much as it pains me to say it).
Watson is underpriced and a proven premo star with (hopefully) the supplements scandal behind him.
Rocky will be back in the mids where he belongs. He is a fantasy pig in there as he showed at the end of last year.
Stevens is a very good player but Saints will get worse before they get better so I wouldn't expect much improvement.
Rocky is my pick out of these 4, closely followed by Jobe, before a decent gap to the other two.

RUCKS: Leunberger Pyke (currie apeness)
FORWARD: dangerfield J AND K reiwoldts walker billings Rohan (Lennon Curran)
DEF: Reid is a very interesting pick. At an 80ave he would need to average 95 to a) make you more than 100k and b) become a top 5 defender. Bucks has said he will be used fwd this year but he only averaged 78 from the 9 games he played fwd in 2013 so I wouldn't expect too much improvement from him. I'd definitely consider Grimes or Swallow around that price. I would also look to upgrade one of your rookies as most teams will only field 1 rookie each week in defence. The rookie pool is just too thin this year.
MIDS: Another couple of PODs here. Remember when picking guys that aren't top end premo's you want them making you 100-150k+ or jumping into the top end premo bracket. Ablett is already there and Cotchin has the ability to do so. Cotch is also underpriced and has a nice easy fixture. Fyfe could jump into that next bracket but I would prefer MMurphy, Rocky, DThomas or Watson for value. He could be a nice POD though. As could Kennedy. At 434k Duncan would have to average 100 to be a viable picks, which I think he can do. Nice pick. As for your rookies you need to consider JMartin, Sheed, Ellis, Dunstan, O'Rourke, Michie, Tyson as they are the standout picks so far this preseason.
RUCKS: I'm not sure Pyke can become a top end premo and you are missing out on the value of Sandi/HMac here. Leuey is a nice POD though. For you rookies consider Thurlow and Nankervis.
FWDS: Danger is a great top end pick and can't fault the NRoo pick based on his history. Again, for JRoo to be a viable pick at 458k he will need to lift his average from 85 to 103. Which looks like a big ask. Walker is going to struggle to be ready for round 1. Also for your F5 and F6 consider Higgins/Fasolo/Lamb/Rohan for value and rookies Garlett, Kersten, Kennedy-Harris, Lloyd.
Overall just a few too many POD's mate. There is a lot of value around this year with underpriced premo's and midpricers. I would look to strengthen that backline, capitalise on the value picks from the midfield and rucks, and strengthen the forward line also.

Gday Ricochet
I would appreciate if you cast your eye over my team quickly...
Thanks in advance and good luck for this season mate....
Backs- Grimes,Mitchell,Suckling,KKolodashi,Laidler,McDonald (Fuller-Cutler)
Mids- Ablett,Watson,Cotchin,murphy,Beams,Thomas,Martin,Michie, (C.Beams-Garlett)
Rucks- NNat,Sandilands (Thurlow-Nankervis)
Fwds- Dangerfield,Martin,Buddy,Pav,Caddy,Rohan (Bock-Impey)
$47,800 left.
DEF: Very very light on mate. Most teams are fielding a midpricer like Suckling at F5 and only fielding 1 rookie, compare to you having him at F3 and fielding 3. The pool of rookies in defence is far too think this year so I would strongly suggest you strengthen this line.
MIDS: Very strong. Some great value in underpriced premos here in Cotchin, Watson, Murphy, Beams and Thomas. You're rookies are also very strong. Also consider Dunstan, Ellis and Sheed. A lot of cash has been spent on this line.
RUCKS: Standard setup and the best imo.
FWDS: Another strong line. Danger and Martin are great top end premos while Pav, Buddy and Caddy are all underpriced. Also consider Higgins/Fasolo/Lamb/Clark as cheapies.
Overall I would definitely strengthen that backline mate. Possibly by dropping out a premo from that midfield and maybe on in the fwd line.

not sure on swallow boyd wanna get roughhead
thanks
DEF: Some good top end premos in McVeigh and Mitchell with a breakout contender in Swallow. Suckers is great value. Most will only field 2 rookies in defence this year so I would recommend you upgrade one here. The rookies down back this year aren't that strong
MIDS: Start off very strong with GaJ, Pendles, Cotchin, Beams, Thomas but drops away with the rookies. JMartin has to be considered, as does Dunstan, Sheed, Ellis, MIchie, Tyson.
RUCKS: Good combo. Leuey will be a nice POD for you
FWDS: Pretty weak tbh mate. Danger, DMartin and NRoo start you off very strong but Rohan at F4 and Boyd at F5 means it drops away quickly. There is a lot of value in the fwd line this year. Consider Buddy, Pavlich, Chappy, Higgins, Fasolo, MClark, Lamb, Bock, Caddy.

RUCK: Leuenberger; Sandilands; (Nankervis; Holmes)
FWD: Dangerfield; Martin; Franklin; Gray; Lennon; Taylor; (Garlett; Impey)
Let me know your thoughts. Obviously subject to change dependent on NAB cup, but give me a rough idea on how its shaping up :) Cheers
DEF: A pretty good line mate expect for fielding two rookies. Most will only field one rookie this year. I'd look to upgrade one. Shaw will be a nice POD for you. Risky but he could thrive.
MIDS: Quite strong with GAJ. Griff and Watson, along with Fyfe as a nice POD. Beams is great value and also consider MMurphy, Rocky, DThomas and Cotchin who are all underpriced. Your rookies are fine.
RUCKS: Again Leuey will be a nice POD and Sandi is great value.
FWDS: Danger and Martin are good top end premos and Buddy is great value. Gray is an interesting pick. I'm not sure he is a viable pick unless you can see him averaging 100 where he a) becomes a top 8 fwd and b) makes you 100k. Also I think you need to consider some of the other value picks in the fwd line this year. Guys like Higgins/Clark/Fasolo/Lamb/Rohan/Bock/etc.

Hey mate, any feedback on this team would be great thanks
(http://i61.tinypic.com/34fzaww.jpg)
DEF: Two nice top end premo's in McVeigh and Mitchell and a nice POD in Atley. Keep in mind that Atley will have to average 92 to make you 100k which will be a big ask imo. Suckers is great value. I don't really like fielding two rookies in defence this year. The rookie pool just isn't that strong. I would upgrade one.
MIDS: Strong with a good mix of top end premos and value in underpriced proven premos. Ellis will be a nice POD and Young is great value.
RUCKS: I'm not a fan of the Lobbe pick and I've given my reasons in the Opening Post if you click here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). Sandi is great value.
FWDS: Dixon is a nice POD that will cover your fwd line and Buddy is great value at that price for what he can produce. I don't see Zorko as being fantasy relevant in the role that he now plays. Again I've given my reasons for him in the Opening Post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). Higgins and Rohan are also good value.

Hey Ric, thoughts on this team? Have 25k left. At this point haven't figured out a way to bring in a better ruck for R1 instead of Lobbe, as he is not my preferred choice. Not keen on Buddy in the forward line, even though he wouldn't be much of a risk with most people here locking him in. Really want Sloane in the midfield, but there's no-one that I want to drop for him. If Suckling is out R1, then he becomes KK and I can upgrade my rucks that way. Thanks in advance :)

RUCK
Naitanui, Sandilands, Thurlow, Nankervis,
FWD

Interested in comments. Rookies obviously changeable closer to season. Big dockers fan so Pav, Fyfe and Sandi a must. I think Fyfe in particular can bring his game to a new level if he improves his disposal, he's so young. I feel with this team I only need to feild 5 rookies in the opening round.
Backs: J. McVeigh, S. Thompson, M. Hibberd, D. Swallow, M. Suckling, L. McDonald (T.Cutler, M. Fuller)
Mids: G. Ablett, S. Pendlebury, T. Cotchin, M. Murphy, D. Beams, D. Thomas, J. Martin, V. Michie (L. Dunstan, D. Garlett)
Rucks: M. Lobbe, A. Sandilans (F. Thurlow, T. Nankervis)
Fwds: P. Dangerfield, L. Franklin, M. Pavlich, A. Fasolo, G. Rohan, J. Impey (M. Honeychurch, J. Kennedy-Harris)
I think my Forward needs some work on it for my team to be complete. Let me know what you think of the team! Cheers! :)
Haven't had my team rated for some time and thought i'd get some of your advice, here it is:
(http://imageshack.com/a/img849/2305/ll31.png)
Hoping i could get 14 keepers out of this team but likely at least one of them will fail. Mitchell, Simpson, Hurn, Swallow, Ablett, Rocky, Cotchin, Murph, Beams, Nic Nat, Danger, Franklin, Gunston and Pav, will all hopefully become keepers, with Thomas/Suckling being handy bench cover (might aim for Thomas > Pendles for Round 9 though) Also have 50k+ left in the bank to adjust any slight chances. Would love some thoughts :)
Much appreciated,
Cheers Hawkers!

Hey mate, ok here are my thoughts
Suckling Very Low Risk - At 312k he is massively under priced and will generate decent cash even if he doesn't bounce back to his best. Also everyone will have him so the risk is minimal.
Waters WCE are set to decide whether Beau will need surgery over the next few days. I'd stay away for now unless he plays and gets through the NAB games
D Swallow Primed for a breakout year. The only thing is he will need to average 95+ to make you more than 100k and be a viable pick. I think he will have a better year but not sure he can push 95-100.
H Shaw You won't lose out on much by not starting Shaw. He's coming off a 97 average so even if he does go back to 100+ you won't lose out on too much cash to bring him in later. Concerns are whether he will get targeted more by opposition clubs at GWS and whether he will score well in a bottom 4 side. I'd stay away for now
Grimes Definite value here. Can be a premo scorer and Roos will get the best out of him. Will return to the SC friendly possie of half back as well.
Duffield Stay away. Gets too many defensive roles and is now a deep back pocket rather than a high half fwd. Will have some big games but also a lot of smaller ones when playing lock down.
Watts Very close to including him myself if he plays as a midfielder in NAB Challenge. Priced at 411k and 76 average, he will need to lift to 94ave to be a viable pick. I can see him doing this early on with Saints, GWS and Suns all in the first 5 rounds.
JPK His best is top end premo material but handballs too much for me. The development of Sydney's mids also has me thinking we won't see him return to the top any time soon.
Jack Is a star and has a pretty decent early draw. Safe premo scorer here but prefer others for value.
Fyfe A star like Jack but needs to increase his disposal efficiency to be a top end premo. You'll get a safe 110 ave from him but like Jack, I prefer others.
Cotchin Under priced gun with a super easy fixture. Averaged 106 with a knee injury all year. Jump on.
Murphy Same as Cotchin. Struggled with injury this year rather than the tag (which is a false belief). Next to Beams as one of my first picked.
Sandi At his price both HMac and Sandi are low risk but you need to have a backup plan if one goes down early. Longer would be the easy downgrade option in the even of an injury or Dixon as a dpp link. Sandi will be managed in games by going fwd but that will simply mean more goals.
HMac Exactly the same with Sandi. Only concern I have with HMac is how Simpson will affect him. Wether Geelong can play both ruckmen and whether Simpson's output will directly affect HMac. Prefer Sandi at this stage
Grundy Not a fan at all. See the opening post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742) for my reasons.
NicNait Despite some media reports has enjoyed an injury free preseason. Has training away from the group to be managed but is back training with the main group now and flying. His best is THE best for ruckmen and he is severely underpriced. Low risk here
Ryder With Bellchambers being placed on the LTI list he has certainly come into consideration. Scores like a top end premo when the sole ruckman so keep an eye on NAB and monitor Bellchambers return date. Would need 6+ games with Bellchambers out to be a viable pick.
Buddy Underpriced proven gun. Will be back to his best at Sydney, especially with their elite midfield. Don't worry about point stealing and all that crap. White, Mummy, Bolton have all gone so there are points there. No risk at all here
Pav Same as Buddy. Fantasy royalty and unlike last year has had an injury free preseason. Is absolutely flying down at Freo and the fittest he's been in a while. Only concern is draw but that shouldnt' worry him
Higgins Risk is there but at that price and with so many cheap midpricers (Clark, Rohan, Lamb, Fasolo, Bock) around his price there are backup plans in place if he does get injured. Reward outweighs the risk here.
Fasolo Exactly the same as Higgins but with JS being the concern not injury. Jump on.
Wingard Again not really a fan. Can see him going backwards in 2014. See the opening post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742) for my reasons.

Thanks Ric.
DEF: A good mix of top end premos and under priced proven players. Goodes is an interesting pick. If he can continue on from last year he'll be up there with the rest of the premo's but I think the risk of second year is a bit too much for me. Would prefer Simpson/Birchall for value. Rookies are fine at this stage
MIDS: Some great value here in Rocky, Beams, Carrots and Thomas. Not sure on Libba backing up from 2013. No doubt he will be a star but would prefer other proven under pricers like Cotchin or MMurphy. Rookies are fine but I recommend you strongly consider JMartin. The kid will be a star. Also consider Elis and Sheed.
RUCKS. A nice ruckline. Sandi is great value and Ryder will thrive as the solo ruck. Monitor Bellchambers' return date though as Ryder will need 6+ games with him out to be a viable pick.
FWDS: Be wary of TMitchell this year. His scoring dropped away heavily at the end of the year because he was shifted to a fwd role. With Bolton retiring and the strength of Sydney's midfield I would expect something similar. Danger and Buddy are great picks and both Higgins and Bock are severely under priced. Also consider Fasolo/Clark/Lamb/Rohan if fit.
Overall very decent mate with some nice PODs. Just be wary of the second year premo's like TMitch, Libba and Goodes. They will need to improve into the elite to be viable picks and there is quite a lot of value in under priced proven premos this year.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZyYJsc9.png)
DEF: I tend to stay away from players backing up a premo breakout year. So Thompson isn't my favourite pick. Based on last year he should be fine though. Simpson and Suckling are great value and Swallow is primed for a breakout year. If your looking for some cash look to downgrade Thompson to Birchall or Hurn.
MIDS: A good mix of top end premo's and under priced proven premos here. Rookies are also fine. Can't really fault this line tbh and I wouldn't bring Sloane in because these picks are fine. Also consider JMartin strongly as well as Ellis and Sheed.
RUCKS: Yeh need to upgrade Lobbe. NicNat is only 54k away so we only need another 30k. Sandi is great value and your rookies are find for now. Also consider Thurlow and Nankervis.
FWDS A very strong line with Danger, Martin, Gunston and Pav to start with. TBH I'm not sold on Gunston being a good pick to start with. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. He won't go up too much in price. I'd probably prefer to jump on some value picks instead. Guys like Caddy, Higgins, Fasolo, Lamb are all great value and will make you a heap of cash. There is heaps of value in the fwd line this year.

Hey Ric mind casting an eye over my team?
DEF: Mitchell, Hanley, Hurn, Henderson, Suckling, Fuller (Cutler, Curran)
MID: Ablett, Watson, Cotchin, Murphy, D. Beams, Daisy, Dunstan, Taylor (O'Rourke, Robertson)
RUC: Mcevoy, Sandilands (Thurlow, Nankervis)
FWD: Dangerfield, Martin, Franklin, Gunston, JKH, Impey (Garlett, Honeychurch)
10k in bank
DEF: Love the Hurn and Henderson picks mate. Keep on eye on Hendo though, he will need to continue his role across half back to be a decent scorer. But if he does he will become a top end premo. Suckers is great value but keep en eye on your rookies during NAB as they will most likely need to be strengthened. Consider McDonald, Laidley, Aylett.
MIDS: Some great value here mate. Ablett, Watson, Cotchin, Murphy, DBeams and Daisy are all underpriced and your rookies are fine for now. Strongly consider JMartin though, along with Ellis and Sheed.
RUCKS: Sandi is great value and McEvoy could be a nice POD for you. I'm not sure which way he will go but he could thrive a the Hawks. Nice rookie picks also.
FWDS: Start off strong but then fall away pretty quickly. I'm not 100% on Gunston. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. He won't go up too much in price. Most teams will also have one or two of Fasolo, Higgins, Clark, Rohan, Lamb an Bock at F4, F5 and/or F6. Making your fwd line look a little weaker. I'd strong consider a combination of these guys. They will make you a heap of cash and have the added job security over rookies.

DEF: Like this line. A good mix of some top end premos (Mitchell and McVeigh) with some under priced proven players (Grimes and Suckling) and a breakout contender (Swallow). Rookies are fine also.
MIDS: Another good mix here. Rocky, Cotching and Daisy are all value here. JMartin will be a star and your other rookies are fine. Taylor has had an interrupted preseason so keep an eye on him. Consider Ellis.
RUCKS: Common combo and my favourite one. Nothing wrong here.
FWDS: Strong line. Pav is a great prick and enjoying an injury free preseason. Buddy is great value and both Danger and Martin are top end premos.
Overall a very decent side mate

MIDS: A strong line with a good mix of top end premos and value. Cotchin, MMurphy, Beams and Daisy are all under priced proven players. Your rookies are very strong also.

Fwd line does look weak but that is where the value is this year man so I'm fine with it. Might need to look at going impey to one of those 200k proven players with solid Job Security but other than that its fine.

Hey man looks pretty good
DEF: Some great value here. Love the Hurn pick. He's already underpriced because of the vest and could get time further up the ground this year. Swallow is primed for a breakout year and both Simpson and Suckers are also great value.
MIDS: Another great line mate with heaps of value. Can't fault your premo picks. They're all under priced (some more than others) and are great picks. Rookies are fine but I strong suggest you consider JMartin, he will be a star, along with XEllis and Sheed.
RUCKS. The best combo imo. Nothing wrong here and King will be good as the floating donut.
FWDS: You already know my thoughts on Gunston :P No doubt he will be a gun but feel he is better suited as an upgrade target this year as there is less risk. But I know you like this pick. Danger is a top end premo and both Buddy and Pavlich are underpriced proven premos. Concern here that you are fielding two rookies on the field. Most teams have a combo of Fasolo/Higgins/Clark/Rohan/Lamb/Bock at F5 and even F6. I'd consider upgrading at least one rookie here.

I think my Forward needs some work on it for my team to be complete. Let me know what you think of the team! Cheers! :)
DEF: Keep an eye on Thompson mate. I tend to stay away from guys that are backing up a premo breakout year. Especially fullbacks. Hibberd is slightly different being a running defender so I don't mind this pick. Swallow is primed for a breakout year and Suckers is great value. Your rookies are fine also.
MIDS: A strong line with a good mix of top end premos and value. Cotchin, MMurphy, Beams and Daisy are all under priced proven players. Your rookies are very strong also.
RUCKS: Sandi is a great pick but not a fan of Lobbe. Check my opening post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742) for my reasons. Good rookies.
FWDS: Again you have a good mix of Top End premos in Danger and under priced proven premos in Buddy and Pav. Fasolo and Rohan are great value also. I would also consdier Higgins/Clark/Lamb/Bock if fit.
Fwd line does look weak but that is where the value is this year man so I'm fine with it. Might need to look at going impey to one of those 200k proven players with solid Job Security but other than that its fine.
Alright sounds good!!! Got any idea who I should trade in for Thompson, so I can get some cash to fit Higgins in my Fwd!? Cheers mate!
Do you have any cash left over mate?

DEF: Quite unique with both Swallow and Yeo in there. A little risky imo with Yeo needing to lift his average to 80+ to make you 100k but it could definitely pay off. Just keep an eye on him today as both WCE and Freo have named decent sides so it should give you an indication of where he is at. Otherwise a pretty good line here.
MIDS: A good mix of top end premo's (Ablett and Pendles) along with underpriced proven stars (Murphy, Beams, Thomas). Your rookies are fine as well. Keep an eye on Garlett though, at this stage he is behind Hartung at the Hawks. Also consider Ellis.
RUCKS: The best combo imo. Same as mine.
FWDS: I like this line a lot. Another good mix of top end premos and underpricers. Overrall one of the better teams I've seen mate. Well done.

DEF: Have mentioned previously that I am far from a fan of fielding two rookies in defence this year. Most teams will only field one at D6 as the pool for rookie defenders is very thin this year. I recommend upgrading one here. Otherwise I really like Mitchell, McVeigh, Hurn and Suckers.
MIDS: A good combo of top end picks and under priced proven premos with Ablett, Pendles, Cotch, Beams and Thomas. As for your rookies, keep an eye on Taylor as he has had an injury interrupted preseason and Garlett is behind Hartung at the Hawks at this stage. Consider Ellis as well.
RUCKS: Leuey will be a nice POD and Sandi is great value at that price. A nice combo.
FWDS: Danger, Martin and Buddy are all great picks but I'm not a huge fan of the Gunston pick. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. He won't go up too much in price. I'd probably prefer to jump on some value picks instead. Guys like Caddy, Higgins, Lamb are all great value and will make you a heap of cash. There is heaps of value in the fwd line this year.

Most teams will only field one at D6 as the pool for rookie defenders is very thin this year. I recommend upgrading one here. Mitchell, Hibberd, Hanley and Suckers are fine though, with a nice POD there in Hibberd.
MIDS: Again, another good mix of proven top end premos and value. Murphy, Beams and Thomas are all underpriced. Is that right with Duncan on your bench?? Or should it be Dunstan? Garlett is behind Hartung at this stage at the Hawks so keep an eye on him. Also consider Ellis.
RUCKS: The best combo imo. Same as mine
FWDS: Quite strong mate. Also consider some of the cheap value thats around in the fwd line this year in Higgins, Lamb, Rohan, Fasolo, Bock, etc. And keep and eye on your rookies. Kersten should be one to consider and should be right for round 1.

$31.2k left
Few notes
- Not sold on a few players - Swallow, Zorko - but have contingencies in place
- Zorko will go to Parker
- Swallow will go to Suckling - chances are this will happen anyway to give myself some $$$ if need be
- Dont know much about Colledge apart from having a good intraclub so will change

Hey mate, lets have a look.
DEF: I like Shaw as a POD but there is uncertainty as to how he will go at a much weaker club. At his price you could easily not start with him and upgrade to him if he kills it and you won't lose out on much. Swallow looks prime for a breakout. No Suckling though? I don't like fielding two rookies in defence this year. Most teams will only field one at D6 as the pool for rookie defenders is very thin this year. I recommend upgrading one to Suckling.
MIDS: Can't really fault this line mate. Consider Ellis as a rookie though and also JMartin. Your premos and underpriced players are perfect.
RUCKS: I'm not a fan of Grundy this year and you can see my thoughts on him in the Opening Post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). Sandi is great value though.
FWDS: Love Danger, Martin and Buddy along with a nice POD in Hawkins. If his back doesn't play up and he moves as well as he did the other night he could return to his best. Not a fan of Zorko, again my thoughts on him in the Opening Post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). I'd look at Caddy as a cheap replacement. As for your rookies, Garlett is behind Hartung at the Hawks so I would consider Kersten, Rohan, McCarthy.
Hey mate, here's my team at the moment, just wanted your thoughts.

Hi Rico. When you get a chance I would appreciate some feedback on my team.
BACKS:
Mitchell (MID), Thompson, Hanley(MID), Suckling, A. Toovey, KK (McDonald(MID), J. Taylor)
MIDS:
Ablett, Pendlebury, Beams, Rich, Thomas, Martin, Aish, Polec (Langdon (Def), Garlett(FWD))
RUCKS:
Leuenberger, Sandilands (C. Wood, Nankervis)
FWDS:
Dangerfield, Roughhead, Franklin, Zorko(MID), Hogan, L. Taylor (Kennedy-Harris, Honeychurch(MID))
$10,600 left.
Backs - not convinced re Toovey, but seems most reliable I can find for around the $300k mark
Mids - pretty happy with the balance. Whilst I take on board the likelihood of Rich being tagged (who of his quality is not likely to be tagged?), I am expecting him to take on a more running roll with Black moving on (suspect that Rocky will take on the ball getting and direction changing role with Rich, Redden and Green running through the middle - we'll see.) Langdon played a good NAB, but I realise that he has to push either Harry O or Maxwell out to get regular games -= again we'll see.
Rucks - back to my original crew
Fwds - I'm still torn with Franklin/Tippett and Roughhead/Gunstan.
Any comments will be welcomed. Thanks
Thanks for the thread Richo.
Appreciate any insight you may have in my side, hopefully its a bit different to some of the others you've seen ;D

Hey mate lets have a look.
DEF: I don't like fielding two rookies in defence this year. Most teams will only field one at D6 as the pool for rookie defenders is very thin this year. I recommend upgrading one to Suckling. Jimmy will play mostly fwd this year which will further hurt his SC scoring as he won't be able to slut it up across half back as much. At his price I would stay away and consider some underpriced premos like Simpson/Birchall or others like Hibberd/Hanley. McVeigh and Mitchell are great top end picks and Swallow is primed for a breakout year.
MIDS: Keep an eye on Selwood as he's had minor foot surgery and is coming back from that. He may start slow after missing quite a few weeks. At Ziebells price he will need to average 113+ to a) make you more than 100k and b) be a top end premo pick. I just don't see that happening so don't see him as a viable starting option. Better off not starting him and monitoring him, you won't lose out on too much if he does break out further. There are better value picks in the mids this year like Cotchin, Watson, MMurphy and Thomas who are all underpriced. Your rookies are fine at this stage but strongly consider JMartin, Sheed and Michie.
RUCKS: My favourite combo atm. Nothing wrong here
FWDS: Danger and DMartin are great top end picks but I'm not a fan of picking Wingard to start with. You can see my thoughts on him in the Opening Post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). I'm not a huge fan of the Gunston pick either. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. As for the rookies Garlett is currently behind Hartung at the Hawks at this stage and Taylor is coming off an injury interrupted preseason. I'd consider Kersten, McCarthy, Blease, Rohan, Lamb, Higgins, Fasolo for these last F5 and F6 spots
Hi Richo would love to hear your thoughts on my team.

DEF: I like your mix of top end picks and value picks with Mitchell, Hanley and Suckers. Thompson is another top 10 pick. Only concern I have with him is picking a player after his first big breakout year. He has averaged 80s before but never this close to 100. Still he is a solid pick based on last years performance, just be careful there. At Toovey's price he will need to average 75 to make you only 100k. Considering he has never averaged more that 69, I would stay away. I'd look to make cash for Swallow or even further to Hurn.
MIDS: Rich is a very interesting POD. Haven't seen much of him in many teams at all. Again, at his price he will need to average 105 to make you only 100k which I think is a little bit beyond him at this stage. I'd much rather see a MMurphy, Cotchin, Watson, or Rocky in there. For your rookies consider Ellis, Sheed, Michie, Dunstan, Crouch over Aish, Langdon and Garlett.
RUCKS: Leuy should be a nice POD for you again and Sandi is great value. Not much wrong here at all.
FWDS: Danger, Roughead and Buddy are all solid picks. I'm not a fan of Zorko at all atm. You can see my thoughts on him in the Opening Post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742).

Appreciate any insight you may have in my side, hopefully its a bit different to some of the others you've seen ;D

Hey mate, quite different actually!
DEF: Cannot fault this at all mate. Its a very very strong line. I like it a lot. Just keep an eye on Laidler through the rest of NAB
MIDS: A couple of decent PODS. You will really need Ziebell and Fyfe to jump to a 114+ average to make them viable picks. Otherwise there is better value in Cotchin, Watson, Rocky and MMurphy. If you can see them making that jump then stick with them. For your rookies also consider JMartin, Sheed and Crouch.
RUCKS: The perfect combo imo.
FWDS: Danger and DMartin are great picks. Dixon will give you good cover for your rucks but I am very sceptical on his scoring ability for this year. With a fit Nicholls and Smith we won't see him in the ruck as much this year which will severely hamper his scoring. Keep and eye on Hawkins. If he still looks pain free coming into round 1 then he is a great pick. FOr F5 and F6 consider these guys for value; Hggins, Lamb, Fasolo, Rohan, Blease, Kersten, McCarthy and even Bock if he is named round 1

Hi Richo would love to hear your thoughts on my team.
Def: McVeigh, Mitchell, Hurn, Watts, Suckling, McDonald (Fuller, Cutler)
Mid: Ablett, Pendlebury, Liberatore, Beams, Thomas, Martin, Michie, Ellis (Taylor, Crouch)
Ruck: Leuenberger, Sandilands (Thurlow, King)
For: Dangerfield, Martin, Franklin, Pavlich, Rohan, JKH (Garlett, Impey)
Remaining $4,900
DEF: Love the Hurn pick. He is underpriced from his vest last year and should get more time up the ground this year. Also WCE have a great fixture. McVeigh and Mitchell are good top end picks. Suckers is all value as well. Watts is an interesting one. While I think he can improve I con't think he can improve enough to warrant starting with him. At 411k he will need to improve his average to 95 (from 76) to make you 100k and become a top end pick. I'm just not sure I can see that happening.
MIDS: Can't fault them really. Good mix of top end picks and value under pricers. Libba is a nice POD. Rookies are fine except Taylor who has had an injury interrupted preseason. Also consider Dunstan, Hallahan, Sheed.
RUCKS Leuy should be a nice POD for you again and Sandi is great value. Not much wrong here at all.
FWD: A very nice line here. Danger and Martin are great top end picks and both Buddy and Pav are underpriced superstars. Great value there. Rohan is also value. Rookies are fine at this stage but also consider Kersten, McCarthy and Blease.
Hey Rico, thought I might get your opinion, greatly appreciated mate! It may look weak in the mids but that is where most of my money generation will be coming from as you can see as I want the best possible rookies in my side. Along with this I am using west coasts weak early draw to my advantage with hurn, ellis, nic nat and kennedy especially. With bulldogs, stkilda and Melbourne in the first 3 games, I see a big start for JJK, thoughts? cheers mates.

Hey mate yeh I completely agree with both your cash generating focus in the mids and the use of WCE picks for their draw. I have done something similar. lets have a look
DEF: Strong with a lot of value here. Love the Hurn pick and both Grimes and Suckers are under priced. This is a good mix here.
MIDS: Lots of value with your rookies, and they're probably the best mid rookies at this stage. Ablett and Pendles are great top end picks while both Beams and DThomas are under priced. You'll lose out early on a few points but you'll be able to upgrade quicker than everyone else.
RUCKS: The best combo imo.
FWDS: JJK is a good pick for his early draw. I would also consider Darling. Not sure on Varcoe though. At that price I would prefer Caddy or even down to Higgins/Fasolo/Lamb/etc. Although with Christensen, Motlop and co missing, Varcoe may get extended time in the mids. I'm not 100% on this pick but it could pay off.

I like Leuey to NicNat and Taylor to Dunstan but not sure on JPK mate.

Hi Richo,
I've had a tinker and am curious to hear what you think of this team.
Def: Mitchell, Hibberd, Hurn, Guthrie, Suckling, McDonald (Fuller, Cutler)

I think Guthrie will explode this year in the absence of Hunt and Corey, or at least that is what my team hinges on

Hey mate so by the looks of it the changes were
Watts to Guthrie - They're probably just as risky as each other but with Guthrie being a lot cheaper. I'm really not sure how much Guthrie will improve but having both Motlop and Christensen out will only help.
McVeigh to Hibberd - I don't mind this as I can't see McVeigh improving where as I can see HIbberd doing so. McVeigh should be an early upgrade targer.
Libba to Jack - Really like this
Martin to Polec - 50/50 on this one. I feel Martin will show us what he really has when GC have a full strength side around him. Polec is cheap enough to be low risk though
Taylor to Dunstan - Good swap
Leuey to NicNat - Another good swap
Pav to Wingard - Don't like this one. I'm not a fan of Wingard as a starter this year. My thoughts on him are in the Opening Post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742).
Rohan to Higgins - Both are good picks.
Impey to Kersten - Yep good swap

DEF Some good top end premos in McVeigh and Mitchell. Only concern I have with Thompson is picking a player after his first big breakout year. He has averaged 80s before but never this close to 100. Still he is a solid pick based on last years performance, just be careful there. Swallow is primed for a breakout and Suckling is underpriced.
MID: Plenty of underpriced premos here which i love. Cotchin, MMurphy, Beams and Thomas are all ripper picks. Your rookies are fine at this stage.
RUCKS: Leuy should be a nice POD for you again and Sandi is great value. Not much wrong here. Consider Thurlow as a rookie though
FWDS: A good mix of top end premos and underpriced premos here. Also consider Higgins, Lamb, Rohan, Bock through F5 and F6. ALso on your rookies, Garlett is behind Hartung at the Hawks at this stage and Taylor has had an injury interrupted preseason. Consider Kersten and Honeychurch.

Hey Ric, bit bored on the eve of going back to Uni.
Thought I'd have a fiddle with my team, changed it around a bit since last time I posted it in here.
Could ya have a look at let me know what you think?
(http://i.imgur.com/MSd0ykA.png)
Just a few points:
- Got $136,000 left.
- Tried to get Suckers at D6, didn't work out so I've gone with Benny Griffiths. I reckon if Ivvy Maric goes for surgery, Griffo will get games. Hoping to hold him until somebody like a Bob or Seedy returns.
- Priddis is my boy and he's one guy I thought I wouldn't be including and come the start of the season probably won't but he's there for now but I'm trying to find the right POD to put in his place.
- Probably have a one too many rookie priced lads in the mids, dunno where to get the cash from.
- Think the ruck line should be okay. Probably been said elsewhere by somebody before, but the forwards and backs are killing me and I don't wanna have to worry about the rucks too much.
- I want Higgins in there if he does well, but feel it's inevitable he'll get injured. Other options around the same price?

Hey mate,
DEF: Not a fan of fielding two rookies in defence man. McDonald is fairly safe but still has a high risk of vests in a strong Kangaroos side, Langford has shown heaps but not sure who he pushes out of the premiership side and Fuller hasn't even featured in NAB at all. I'd definitely upgrade up to a premo or someone like Sam Shaw at 250k-ish. The rest of this line are very good, with a good mix.
MIDS: A good line here. Your rookies are fine and you have a good mix of top end premos and under priced proven performers. I would consider Cotchin or MMurphy over Jelwood as he has missed a bit of training with that footy surgery.
RUCK: The best combo imo
FWDS: Very very strong. This is probably the area (along with the midfield) with the most value in terms of midpricers. Consider under priced guys like Wright, Caddy, Higgins, Lamb, Fasolo, Rohan here to save money and upgrade that backline. Roughead would be the one I would downgrade as all others represent value. I'd consider downgrading two though

Hey man,
- Tried to get Suckers at D6, didn't work out so I've gone with Benny Griffiths. I reckon if Ivvy Maric goes for surgery, Griffo will get games. Hoping to hold him until somebody like a Bob or Seedy returns.
Consider Sam Shaw for D6. Sanderson loves him and he averaged 70+ in his first year. Severely underpriced and only about 250kl. Otherwise I think D6-D8 look very weak/unreliable. Shaw will have good JS.- Priddis is my boy and he's one guy I thought I wouldn't be including and come the start of the season probably won't but he's there for now but I'm trying to find the right POD to put in his place.
I love that POD. He is underpriced due to his vest and has a ripper early draw. I'd strongly consider DThomas in that midfield though mate. Screams Value- Probably have a one too many rookie priced lads in the mids, dunno where to get the cash from.
Nothing wrong with the rookies in the mids. I've got just as many. Its where the value is. Also consider Polec.- Think the ruck line should be okay. Probably been said elsewhere by somebody before, but the forwards and backs are killing me and I don't wanna have to worry about the rucks too much.
Set and forget. I still recommend Sandi or HMac but can understand why people are sceptical.- I want Higgins in there if he does well, but feel it's inevitable he'll get injured. Other options around the same price?
Lamb, Higgins, Fasolo, Blease, Rohan are all great value around that price.

DEF Good top end picks in McVeigh and Mitchell along with some underpriced proven performers in Hurn and Suckling. Now that Hibberd has gone down with a Hammy you'll have to find a replacement. Strongly look at Birchall.
MIDS Nothing wrong with field 4 rookies in the mids because that is where the value is this year. But strongly consider Polec and Tyson in there also. Watson and Beams are both underpriced and both GaJ and Pendles are superstars.
RUCKS The best combo imo
FWDS Love the Pav pick here and Buddy is underpriced also. Probably need to take advantage of the underpricers in Lamb, Higgins, Fasolo, Blease and Rohan though. Garlett is currently behind Hartung at the Hawks and Taylor has had an injury interrupted preseason.

DEF Interesting pick in Webster mate. I have no doubt he will eventually become fantasy relevant but at that price I would probably rather Sam Shaw or upgrade to a premo. Otherwise fielding two rookies makes your backline look very weak.
MIDS A lot of risks here. GaJ, Pendles, Beams and Daisy are all ripper picks but I have concerns with Scully and Shiels. Shiels is still Hawks best tagger unless Langford can break into the team round 1. Scully will need to average 95 to only make you 100k. If you can see him pushing 100+ then stick with him but most will field 3-4 rookies in the mids this year as that is where the value is. Consider Michie, JMartin, Sheed, CBeams, Tyson, Hallahan.
RUCKS A nice POD in Mummy and Sandi is great value
FWDS Danger and Dusty are great pricks as are Higgins and Rohan. TMItchell I have concerns about as Sydney will play him fwd like at the end of last year. This is when his scoring dropped off significantly. Atm he is getting a good run in the mids throughout NAB and scoring very well because of it. I think this will change come round 1. I'm not a huge fan of the Zorko pick either. You can see my thoughts on him in the Opening Post of this thread here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). I'd definitely prefer to see someone like Buddy in there.

RUCKS Leuey is a nice POD and Sandi is great value
FWDS Danger and Martin are great top end picks and Buddy is great value. Not 100% on Gunston just yet, I'm not sure how much he will improve. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. Through F5 and F6 also consider Higgins, Lamb, Blease, and Rohan.

Gray is priced at 442k but taking out his subbed games he should be about 490k = 48k difference
Caddy is priced at 325k but unsubbed should be about 405k = 80k difference
Then we look at how much each can improve. And I can see Gray pushing 95-100 which would only give you another 30-50k. But Caddy I can see easily going 85+ which would add another 55-60k on top of the 80k he is already underpriced.
Then there is the fact Christensen and Motlop are out of that midfield giving Caddy more time in there.
Go with Caddy mate

Dangerfield, Martin, Franklin, Chapman, Lamb, Fasolo (Rohan, Markworth)
between $40k-$44k (Minson and Goldstein decision)
hey again Rico, was playing around today and took out a premo back and added one of the rookies, and could strengthen my rucks and forward. I think if all 3 rookie backs were named they would be very handy to have. I know it's risky though.
anyway just wanted to get ya thoughts on the team above mate. cheers.

Yeh very risky man. McDonald is the best rookie back there atm but even he will have a very good chance of copping vests each week in a strong Roos side. I think Georgiou will get upgraded but I haven't see anything on it yet so keep an eye on him. Its risky and I think you'll get into a bit of trouble but we'll have to see if any other defender rookies pop up. Also consider Sam Shaw. He's pricey at 250k but you pay for his JS and has proven to be a solid 70+ scorer in the past. MIds are fine but consider Ellis, Sheed, Hallahan and JMartin for your rookies. Rucks look perfect. In the fwd line also consider Caddy, Higgins, Blease for value. I really like most of it, just feel 2 rookies in defence is a bit too much of a risk

I feel my mids are weak but i got no idea how to generate the cash to fix it. Your expertise will be greatly appreciated
DEF Good top end picks in McVeigh and Mitchell along with some underpriced proven performers in Hurn and Suckling. Now that Hibberd has gone down with a Hammy you'll have to find a replacement. Strongly look at Birchall.
MIDS Nothing wrong with field 4 rookies in the mids because that is where the value is this year. But strongly consider Polec and Tyson in there also. Watson and Beams are both underpriced and both GaJ and Pendles are superstars.
RUCKS The best combo imo
FWDS Love the Pav pick here and Buddy is underpriced also. Probably need to take advantage of the underpricers in Lamb, Higgins, Fasolo, Blease and Rohan though. Garlett is currently behind Hartung at the Hawks and Taylor has had an injury interrupted preseason.

Hey Rico, appreciate the SC advice service mate.
Team (after many alterations) is currently below:
Def: Mitchell, Simpson, Thompson, Suckling, McDonald, Laidler (Clurey, Laidler)
Mid: GAJ, Pendles, Rocky, Beams, Thomas, Michie, Ellis, Polec (Cunningham, Dunstan)

Fwd: Danger, Dusty, ?, Pavlich, Caddy, Rohan (JKH, Taylor)
I have $520k to finish F3. I had Buddy all along but I am getting cold. I am thinking of maybe:
- T Mitchell - a gun, with great scoring potential
- Zorko - disappointing last season but should bounce back under better coach
- Gunstan - should continue to score well with Buddy gone
- other?
Also, thoughts on team?
Cheers bud.
I'll be away for most of the weekend fellas so I'll get to these early next week

Thanks Ric.
DEF: A good mix of top end premos and under priced proven players. Goodes is an interesting pick. If he can continue on from last year he'll be up there with the rest of the premo's but I think the risk of second year is a bit too much for me. Would prefer Simpson/Birchall for value. Rookies are fine at this stage
MIDS: Some great value here in Rocky, Beams, Carrots and Thomas. Not sure on Libba backing up from 2013. No doubt he will be a star but would prefer other proven under pricers like Cotchin or MMurphy. Rookies are fine but I recommend you strongly consider JMartin. The kid will be a star. Also consider Elis and Sheed.
RUCKS. A nice ruckline. Sandi is great value and Ryder will thrive as the solo ruck. Monitor Bellchambers' return date though as Ryder will need 6+ games with him out to be a viable pick.
FWDS: Be wary of TMitchell this year. His scoring dropped away heavily at the end of the year because he was shifted to a fwd role. With Bolton retiring and the strength of Sydney's midfield I would expect something similar. Danger and Buddy are great picks and both Higgins and Bock are severely under priced. Also consider Fasolo/Clark/Lamb/Rohan if fit.
Overall very decent mate with some nice PODs. Just be wary of the second year premo's like TMitch, Libba and Goodes. They will need to improve into the elite to be viable picks and there is quite a lot of value in under priced proven premos this year.
Cheers for this Ric, only just looked back at it so I do apologise.
Changed things up a fair bit since then. :)

$130k in the bank which maybe used on swapping Higgins or Jack Martin in.
DEF: Not a fan of fielding two rookies in defence man. McDonald is fairly safe but still has a high risk of vests in a strong Kangaroos side and we've hardly seen Kolo. I'd definitely look to upgrade one here. The rest of your backs are all top end picks which is solid but it leaves little room for improvement. I'd consider underpriced premos like Simpson, Hanley or Hurn for one of these spots to free up some cash.
MIDS are very solid mate. I have no problems here. Beams, Thomas and Savage are great value and your rookies are fine. Also consider Tyson and Jmartin.
RUCKS Ryder is a nice POD but remember Bellchambers will probably only miss the first 3-4 games. If he was out a little longer I would have been all over Ryder also. Sandi is great value.
FWDS Have no issues here either mate. Some good top end premos and some good underpriced proven players. Also consider McCarthy and Kersten as in your rookies.

DEF Very solid backline mate. Some great top end picks and some value there also. Only concern I have with Thompson is picking a player after his first big breakout year. He has averaged 80s before but never this close to 100. Still he is a solid pick based on last years performance, just be careful there.
MIDS are strong also. No Thomas or Murphy though? There's a couple of huge value picks there that your missing out on. Your rookies are solid but maybe consider Tyson over CBeams just for less sub risk.
RUCKS Strong line. Like the Luey POD and Sandi is great value.
FWD Starts off very strong. Love the Pav pick also. Just the end thats concerning as most teams will have Rohan at F6 and a 250k-ish player at F5. Also consider Blease and McCarthy for your rookies.
Overall pretty strong man. Just a couple of concerns with Thompson (which is minor) and the strength of your fwd line at F5 and F6.

Some huge PODs in this team mate.
DEF: Shaw is a nice POD. It will be interesting to see how he goes at GWS. It's probably a bit risky starting with him because he could go either way and looked quite defensive in their NAB games. But he is a proven premo. I'm not sold on Reid. At his price he will need to average 100 to make you 100k and become a top end defender. I can't see that happening, especially with the Pies early draw which is quite difficult. Swallow is primed for a breakout year and Suckers is great value. Shaw is another I'm not sure on considering he has only averaged over 73 once since 2009. I would consider Sam Shaw here for 50k less and the same scoring potential.
MIDS Are very very strong with only fielding the one rookie in Polec. I would seriously reconsider this strategy as there is great value in Michie, Tyson, Ellis, Sheed, CBeams, etc. Adams would be the first one I would downgrade and then look to move Caddy in the fwd line. I like that there is a dpp link but the value in the rookies in the mids this year is too great to pass up.
RUCKS McEvoy is a great POD and Sand is great value. Nice line here
FWDS Quite strong with DMartin, Buddy, and Pav being a great start. I'm not sure on White. He'd need to push his average to 85-90+ to be a viable starter and as mentioned before, Pies have a very tough start. Maybe look at Caddy to replace him in the fwd line here. Higgins and Lamb are great value. Also consider McCarthy and Blease for your rooks.

Hey man, one more question haha.
I've got Mitchell and Simpson, looking for a D3 and got enough cash to get anyone. Already got Hurn and Suckers too.
Who would you get and why?
Thanks, appreciate it.
Consider Birchall mate. Only concern is the byes but you can work that out later. He is underpriced by a fair bit and a gun. Suckers coming back into the team will only help him too. I also like Hanley.

RUCKS Leuey is a nice POD and Sandi is great value. NIce line here
FWDS Dander, Martin and Buddy are all solid picks. Not 100% on Gunston just yet, I'm not sure how much he will improve. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. Most teams will have Rohan at F6. I'd look to take advantage of the value in Higgins, Lamb, Blease here and also consider McCarthy in your rookies.

FORWARDS: Danger Martin Franklin Gunston rohan Kennedy-Hariis (Honeychurch Garlett)
99,500
DEF A nice backline mate. Like all your picks here. Hanley, Swallow, Hurn and Suckers are great value and Mitchell is a great top end pick. For your rookies consider Langford and Langdon.
MIDS Again a good mix with some underpriced proven performers. Watson, Beams and Thomas are all underpriced and great value. For your rookies consider JMartin, Michie, Tyson, Sheed.
RUCKS A nice POD in Leuey. Although starting to see him in a few teams now. And Sandi is great value
FWDS: Danger, Martin and Buddy are all great picks. Not 100% on Gunston just yet, I'm not sure how much he will improve. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. Most teams will have Rohan at F6. I'd look to take advantage of the value in Higgins, Lamb, Blease here and also consider McCarthy in your rookies instead of Garlett.

Tips on how i can improve my team, i only have 2k left.

Be careful with Duffield mate. His role can be very defensive at times and will influence his scoring. Don't expect too much improvement. Shiels is my only other concern. If Langford is named round 1 then Shiels shouldn't have to tag and he will be a great pick. If Langford isn't named then be very careful. These are my only two concerns here mate. I would look to go Duffield to DSwallow. And consider these rookies
DEF Laidler, Langford, Georgiou
MIDS JMartin, Tyson, Ellis, Dunstan
RUCKS Thurlow, Nankervis
FWDS McCarthy, Blease, Kersten

Hey Rico, appreciate the SC advice service mate.
Team (after many alterations) is currently below:
Def: Mitchell, Simpson, Thompson, Suckling, McDonald, Laidler (Clurey, Laidler)
Mid: GAJ, Pendles, Rocky, Beams, Thomas, Michie, Ellis, Polec (Cunningham, Dunstan)
Ruc: Leuey, Sandi (Derricx, Thurlow)
Fwd: Danger, Dusty, ?, Pavlich, Caddy, Rohan (JKH, Taylor)
I have $520k to finish F3. I had Buddy all along but I am getting cold. I am thinking of maybe:
- T Mitchell - a gun, with great scoring potential
- Zorko - disappointing last season but should bounce back under better coach
- Gunstan - should continue to score well with Buddy gone
- other?
Also, thoughts on team?
Cheers bud.
Stay with Buddy mate. Don't let NAB scare you, especially when WCE are belting Sydney and other results are all over the place. He is great value and will return to career best form.
- TMitchell will return to a fwd role that we saw at the end of last year which greatly affected his scoring. He has been dominating NAB because he has been attending more centre bounces than the likes of JPK, Jack, ROK, Hannebery, etc. Don't expect the same come round 1.
- Zorko: For his role he is one of best players in the league, unfortunately this role is not great for fantasy scoring. He is 2nd to only Mayne for forward 50 pressure acts. Because of this I do not see Leppa releasing Zorko into the midfield like his debut season. Since his debut year Brissie have also added Moloney to that midfield group.
- Not 100% on Gunston just yet, I'm not sure how much he will improve. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later.
On your team I would look to upgrade one of your D5 or D6 as fielding two rookies back here is very very risky (especially with two laidlers in your team :p ). Only concern I have with Thompson is picking a player after his first big breakout year. He has averaged 80s before but never this close to 100. Still he is a solid pick based on last years performance, just be careful there. The rest of the team is quite strong mate

What are your thoughts?
Any weak areas?
DEF A lot of value here. All great picks and very good line in my opinion. Some may say its weak but I don't think so. Also consider Langdon, Langford and Georgiou for your rooks.
MIDS Again I can't really fault it. Especially with my starting mids are Ablett, Cotchin, MMurphy, DBeams, DThomas, JMartin, Michie and Polec. The only difference I have gone Cotchin over Pendles for value. Also consider Tyson, Ellis and Sheed for your rooks.
RUCKS Risky going HMac and Sandi combo even though there is great value. If you have good cover in R3 and R4 with the rookeis come round 1 then go for it. If the cover isn't there then be very careful
FWDS Again great value here again. Wright, Caddy and Pav are all great picks. Wright does concern me a bit depending on how much tagging he does but I have him currently also. Also consider Blease and McCarthy for your rookies
i would appreciate your thoughts. 90k left

DEF: Not a fan of fielding two rookies in defence man. McDonald is fairly safe but still has a high risk of vests in a strong Kangaroos side and Laidler will find it tough to cement a spot. I'd definitely look to upgrade one here. McVeigh and Mitchell are great top end premos and both Swallow and Suckling are great value. For your rookies consider Langford and Langdon.
MIDS I quite like having Martin, Tyson, Polec and Michie all in the same line. I reckon they are great value. My only concern is not jumping on the underpriced MMurphy or DThomas. It would allow you to upgrade D5.
RUCKS Ryder will be a nice POD for the first few rounds but Bellchambers is only expected to miss a month so be careful here. Sandi is great value.
FWDS Danger, Martin, Buddy, Pav and Caddy are all great picks. Also consider HIggins, Lamb, Blease and co. As well as McCarthy and Kersten for your rookies

At his price he will need to increase his average to over 100 to just make you 100k. I really don't think he's worth that risk. If I was going to take a risk on a Melbourne defender it would be Frawley. He only has to average 85 to make 100k and with Melbs new high possession game style I can see him doing that quite easily. Hurn is probably the safer pick though. Priced at 87 but went 95 unsubbed and looks like he'll get more time up the ground. I currently have him in my side

DEF: Even though its Webster at D5 I'm still not really a fan of these two rookies at D5 and D6 man. McDonald is fairly safe but still has a high risk of vests in a strong Kangaroos side and Webster will still need to score fairly well at D5 as most will have Suckers there. Especially when the cover isn't that great at D7 and D8. I'd definitely look to upgrade one here. Love the Hurn pick though along with Mitchell, Hanley and SUckers.
MIDS Really like the look of this. Ablett, Watson, Cotchin, Beams, Thomas are all underpriced. Polec, Ellis and Dunstan are great rookie picks also. Be careful with Robertson as he is a high chance to cop a vest. Also consider Michie, Tyson and Sheed.
RUCKS Nice POD in McEvoy and Sandi is great value. Nothing wrong here
FWDS A strong line with Pav at F5. I really like the Gray pick as a POD but maybe try to take advantage of the underpricers in Lamb, Rohan, Blease, Fasolo, etc. Rookies are fine

Nah keep danger mate. He has a great run leading up to the byes and will only increase his average on last year. To find some cash to upgrade Hickey I would strongly consider downgrading Wingard to Higgins/Lamb. It won't damage your fwd line too much and they are great value.

So its basically
Pendles, Cotchin, Fasolo, Thurlow
vs
Watson, Murphy, Caddy, Rohan
Definitely the second one mate. Watson and Murphy are great value and won't be too far off the Cotchin + Pendles combo leading up to the byes. Caddy is underpriced by about 100k already due to his vests last year and with Christensen + Motlop missing from that midfield he will get extra minutes in there. Although Rohan hasn't had a great scoring history he will explode this year and has much better JS than Fasolo or Thurlow.

DEF Starts quite nicely with McVeigh and Mitchell being great top end picks and both Hanley and Suckers being underpriced. Suckling at D4 does worry me though mate. Shaw and Martin have good JS but their scoring potential is limited. Most will have Suckers at D5. I'd look to upgrade Shaw here. Especially considering he hasn't averaged over 77 once in the last 5 years.
MIDS Quite weak tbh mate with only 3 true premos. I'd look to take advantage of the underpriced proven performers in DThomas, Cotchin, MMurphy and Rocky. Macrae is a nice POD but at 330k he will need to average 90 just to make you 150k. DThomas is a proven scorer and a similar price.
RUCKS Luey is a nice POD and Sandi is great value but Longer is probably too expensive for a R3 if you were going with a top end premo at R1. Plus Hickey is ahead of Longer at this stage. If you were going to take a risk on spending more money on an R3 then you could take a risk with a Sandi, HMac and Hickey combo. This means you could loophole the best scorer each week. It's risky though.
FWDS Danger and DMartin are great top end picks but I'm not a fan of picking Wingard to start with. You can see my thoughts on him in the Opening Post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). I also think TMitchell will struggle to improve much. He has been killing the NAB challenge games because he has been attending more centre bounces than JPK, Jack, ROK and Hannebery. I expect this to change come round 1 and he will go back to that fwd role we saw at the end of last year which greatly affected his scoring. Hogan is also out for 6 weeks with a sore back now. Maybe look at Higgins or Lamb here. Others to consider at Pav, Caddy or Wright.

DEF Love your Hurn pick mate. He's underpriced and will play further up the ground this year. In fact I really like your backline.
MIDS Another good line. I do think your missing out on the value of MMurphy or DThomas though. However Ablett and Pendles are top end picks who go well with both Rocky and Beams who are underpriced. Your rookies are the best of the bunch also.
RUCKS Not a fan of Lobbe this year. You can see my thoughts on him in the opening post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). Sandilands is great value though.

You can see my thoughts on him in the Opening Post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). I'm not a huge fan of the Gunston pick either. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. Higgins, along with the rest of your rookies are fine except Taylor. He has had an injury interrupted preseason. I'd look at McCarthy or Impey here.

Yep you definitely need to upgrade your D5 or D6 here mate. I'd look at KSimpson, Hurn or Birchall.
I'd keep Daisy because he is great value. Maybe bite the bullet and downgrade Pendles. He has a tough run up to the byes and you have the firepower in the rest of your forward line to cover him. You could also just go Pendles to Cotchin which would nearly give you enough to go LMac to Birchall. Or should be enough for LMac to Hurn.
Only other concerns would be your rookies.
Fuller has struggled to get games in NAB and when he does has struggled to cement a spot. Georgiou is still on the rookie list. Look at Langdon and Clurey here.
Garlett won't be playing football any time soon. Swap him with XEllis asap.
Taylor has had an injury interrupted preseason, swap him with McCarthy, Impey or McDonough.

DEF Pretty solid mate and love the DSwallow pick. Only concern I have with Thompson is picking a player after his first big breakout year. He has averaged 80s before but never this close to 100. Still he is a solid pick based on last years performance, just be careful there.
MIDS Very solid with a good mix of top end picks (Ablett and Pendles) along with some great value (in Murphy, Beams and Thomas). Your rookies are fine at this stage but maybe look to get in a Michie or Tyson.
RUCKS The best ruck combo imo. Nothing wrong here
FWDS Another good mix of top end picks and underpriced proven performers. Can't really fault this line at all.

I found Daisy and Ellis really cheap for the quality players they are. Just feel I have a lot of areas to improve but I don't know how to go about it.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hey mate, lets have a look.
DEF Walker, Hanley and Suckling are great picks. I like that you have loaded up the backline because of the lack of defender rookies but not that keen on Rance or Rampe. For Rance's price range strongly consider Birchall or Hurn. As for Rampe I would suggest Jimmy Webster. Rookies that I would suggest are Langford, Langdon, Clurey and LMcDonald.
MIDS Again you start strong with Ablett, Swan and DBeams. I'm not that keen on Harlett or even Gaff and BJack tbh. I would strongly consider MMurphy, Cotchin, Rockliff or rookie priced DTyson and Polec. Also consider Dunstan as a rookie.
RUCKS Not a fan of Grundy at all this year and you can see my thoughts on him in the Opening Post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). Sandi is great value though. For your rookies consider TNankervis and Thurlow.
FWDS Really need to be strengthened. Dangerfield is a must imo. I'm not a huge fan of the Gunston pick tbh. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. In your forward line consider underpriced proven players like Pavlich and value picks like Caddy, Higgins, Rohan, Blease, McCarthy.

Is this good enough to take into round 1??????
Revised team.
Backs: McVeigh, Mitchell, Hanley, Suckling, Webster, McDonald, (Laidler, Langford)
Mids: Ablett, Pendles Rockliff, Beams, Tyson, Ellis, Michie, Polec (Dunstan, M.Crouch)
Rucks: McEvoy , Sandilands (Derickx, Thurlow)
Fwds: Dangerfield, Martin, Gunston, Higgins, Caddy, Rohan (Kennedy-Harris , L.Taylor)
Bank: $238,200
DEF: Not a fan of fielding two rookies (Webster and McDonald) in defence man. McDonald is fairly safe but still has a high risk of vests in a strong Kangaroos side and Laidler on the bench will find it tough to cement a spot. I'd definitely look to upgrade one here. McVeigh and Mitchell are great top end premos and Suckling is great value
MIDS Nothing wrong here. Would like to see Dthomas in there but a good mix of premos, underpricers and rookies.
RUCKS Unsure how McEvoy will go this year but he is a premo when on song. Sandi is great value.
FWDS Danger and Martin are great top end picks. I'm not a huge fan of the Gunston pick tbh. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later Caddy, Higgins and Rohan are great value. Taylor has had an injury interrupted preseason so consider McCarthy, Impey or McDonough.

Hi Rico,
great work on all your efforts replying to peoples teams. If you get a chance to look at this team it would be greatly appreciated.
DEF: Bartel, Mitchell, Hanley, Suckling, McDonald, Langford (Fuller, Georgiou)
MID: Ablett, Pendles, Murphy, Beams, Thomas D, J Martin, Michie, Dunstan (Sheed,Garlett)
RUC: McEvoy, Sandi, (Thurlow, Nankervis)
FWD: Danger, Martin, Buddy, Pav, Higgins, Rohan, (Taylor, JKH)
I have 185 k to play with.
Concerns are the;
backline. Do I upgrade a defender? Which one and to whom?
Midfield: Thoughts about downgrading Daisy to Polec or similar to spend more on prem defender?
any other suggestion?
Yep you definitely need to upgrade your D5 or D6 here mate. I'd look at KSimpson, Hurn or Birchall.
I'd keep Daisy because he is great value. Maybe bite the bullet and downgrade Pendles. He has a tough run up to the byes and you have the firepower in the rest of your forward line to cover him. You could also just go Pendles to Cotchin which would nearly give you enough to go LMac to Birchall. Or should be enough for LMac to Hurn.
Only other concerns would be your rookies.
Fuller has struggled to get games in NAB and when he does has struggled to cement a spot. Georgiou is still on the rookie list. Look at Langdon and Clurey here.
Garlett won't be playing football any time soon. Swap him with XEllis asap.
Taylor has had an injury interrupted preseason, swap him with McCarthy, Impey or McDonough.
Cheers Ricochet.
Much happier with the balance of my team at present. ($66k to spend)
DEF: McVeigh, Mitchell, Hanley, Hurn, Suckling, McDonald (Clurey, Langdon)
MID: Ablett, Cotchin, Murphy, Beams, Tyson, Michie, Polec, Dunstan (Ellis, Crouch)
RUC: McEvoy, Sandi (Thurlow, Nankervis)
FWD: Danger, Martin, Roughy, Pav, Higgo, Rohan (JKH,Impey)
My only thoughts are;
PAV? Change to Buddy, will Buddy outscore Pav? Other option there?
Thurlow, Nankervis? Is there better options here? Why or why not?
If I can make some peace on these questions than I am locked and loaded pretty much for round 1..

Cash left $14,500
Alternative is Dusty > Roughy and Libba > Jobe???
Cheers
Haha yeh mine changes that much as well.
DEF Really like this backline. For your rookies consider Langford and Langdon though.
MIDS My only concern here will be Libba but he does have his admirers. Just be careful picking a player after they have just broken out the year before. Rookies are fine.
RUCKS Leuey will be a nice POD and Sandi is great value. For your rookies consider TNankervis and Thurlow.
FWDS Danger and Martin are great top end picks. I'm not a huge fan of the Gunston pick tbh. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. Caddy and Higgins are great value. I would def consider Rohan at F6 though. For your rookies also consider McCarthy.
I really like Libba to Jobe but not too sure on Dusty to Roughead.

Hey Rico,
Would love some of your great advice because l'm quite stuck current team
Def - J.Mcveigh, S.Mitchell, K.Simpson, C.Enright, S.Hurn, J.Webster (T.Langdon, A.Georgiou)
Mid - G.Ablett, T.Rockliff, T.Cotchin, D.Beams, D.Tyson, V.Michie, J.Polec, X.Ellis (L.Dunstan, M.Crouch)
Ruck - M.Luenberger, A.Sandilands (.F.Thurlow, A.Smith (needed to make cash somewhere)
Fwd - Dangerfield, D.Martin, M.Pavlich, J.Caddy, S.Higgins, J.Harris Kennedy (J.Impy, Z.merrett)
I'm just a little concerned with my forward line l'm thinking if l should get rohan for F6 i have three options
1.Leave the team
2.Mcviegh to Houli to get rohan
3.Webster to macdonald to get rohan
Which would you choose or would you recommend leaving the team at it is?
DEF very very strong line mate. No Sucking though? He's almost a must because a) he is so cheap and b) everyone will have him so there is less risk. Otherwise I like this line.
MIDS Like your premos here a lot. Would like to see DThomas or MMurphy in here though as they are great value. Your rookies are the best of the bunch so far. Not a lot wrong with this line
RUCKS Thats fine having ASmith at R4. You'll most likely not need that position. Leuey is becoming more and more popular and Sandi is a must have.
FWDS A good mix of top end premos and value picks here. I think you do need Rohan at F6 though. Also consider McCarthy and MdDonough for your rookies. I would go Enright to Suckling mate. That will free up heaps of cash

any suggestions mate??
DEF a few interesting PODs here mate. Malceski is quality but for his price I would probably prefer Birchall. Not a massive concern though. I do have a concern with Broadbent however. He is priced at 80 and never averaged over 84. At his price he will need to average 98 to a) make you 100k and b) become a top 8 defender. Personally I can't see that happening so I would look elsewhere here. Mitchell, Suckling and Webster are all good picks. I think its a bit risky with Webster at D5 and LMac at D6 though. Especially with the lack of depth of defender rookies. Georgiou is still on a rookie list and LMac may cop a fair few vests in a strong Kangaroos side. I'd look to upgrade one of D5 or D6.
MIDS Ablett, Rocky and DBeams are great picks. I'm not 100% on Libba. He will be a star one day but I have my concerns with picking a player after their first big breakout the year before. Hardly ever do they back it up or improve again. Also with Macrae I would prefer DThomas as he is proven. Your rookies are fine though.
RUCKS Becoming a more common ruck combo. Nothing wrong here.
FWDS A lot of risk here. Danger is a great pick. At a 79ave Dahlhaus will need to average 98 to a) make you 100k and b) become a keeper. That's on par with Roghead and Cloke. If you can see him doing that then jump on, if not then there is no real loss in not starting him and picking him up later. I'm not a fan of Zorko this year, you can see my thoughts in the opening post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). Wright is a risk but is great value, as are both Caddy and Higgins.
Quite a few risks here mate. I know you have to risk it to get the biscuit but maybe one too many here. The rest of the team looks solid.

Hey Rico,
Need some advice pls mate, it's my first time getting involved in SC and it would be much appreciated!
Initial Team:
Backs: Mitchell, Hanley, Swallow, Suckling, Docherty, L. McDonald (Langdon, Georgio)
Mids: GAJ, Pendles, Cotch, D. Beams, Daisy, Tyson, Polec, Ellis (C. Beams, Michie)
Ruc: Lobbe, Sandi (Nankervis, Thurlow)
Fwds: Danger, Dusty, Dixon, Pav, Caddy, Kersten (JKH, Impey)
21,400 left in bank.
Firstly, looking at swapping C. Beams with Dunstan as he looks unlikely for round 1.
Docherty also unlikely for round 1, so wanted you thoughts on replacing him?
Was thinking that if I swap Caddy for Fasolo it would free up $110,000, so I would effectively have $415,000 to replace Docherty with. Any defenders you would recommend for around 400K to shore up the back line?
Other options I was thinking with this extra $$ was to upgrade Lobbe or Pav to Westhoff?
Any advice you can give would be awesome, cheers mate

i'm not to confident about thomas and his ankles and i don't mind running the 4 rookie mid field.

I guess i just sorta wanna go different to everyone else to separate me from the pack. If i did go enright to suckling what would you recommend me doing with the cash?

i get what you're saying and i do have some reservations about it too.
But i'll stick with my gut and go with the players i choose.
Broadbent - i dont think he has to avg 98. anything over 90 for a DEF is solid. there's 15 players who's avg are between 90-100.
and i really think Broadbent can be one of them.
Dalhaus - same reasoning as Broadbent. 9 players who avg is between 90-100, and Dalhaus can definitely lift his game to that level.
Macrae, i believe that he is better value than Daisy, Im afraid that he's more of an injury concern than Macrae is.
and as i think both are to have similar outputs i might as well go with the safer option.
thank you for your thoughts, i'll probably change my team a few more times before rnd 1 starts.

FWDS Really need to be strengthened. Dangerfield is a must imo. I'm not a huge fan of the Gunston pick tbh. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. In your forward line consider underpriced proven players like Pavlich and value picks like Caddy, Higgins, Rohan, Blease, McCarthy.

Is this good enough to take into round 1??????
Revised team.
Backs: McVeigh, Mitchell, Hanley, Suckling, Webster, McDonald, (Laidler, Langford)
Mids: Ablett, Pendles Rockliff, Beams, Tyson, Ellis, Michie, Polec (Dunstan, M.Crouch)
Rucks: McEvoy , Sandilands (Derickx, Thurlow)
Fwds: Dangerfield, Martin, Gunston, Higgins, Caddy, Rohan (Kennedy-Harris , L.Taylor)
Bank: $238,200
DEF: Not a fan of fielding two rookies (Webster and McDonald) in defence man. McDonald is fairly safe but still has a high risk of vests in a strong Kangaroos side and Laidler on the bench will find it tough to cement a spot. I'd definitely look to upgrade one here. McVeigh and Mitchell are great top end premos and Suckling is great value
MIDS Nothing wrong here. Would like to see Dthomas in there but a good mix of premos, underpricers and rookies.
RUCKS Unsure how McEvoy will go this year but he is a premo when on song. Sandi is great value.
FWDS Danger and Martin are great top end picks. I'm not a huge fan of the Gunston pick tbh. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later Caddy, Higgins and Rohan are great value. Taylor has had an injury interrupted preseason so consider McCarthy, Impey or McDonough.
How does this look now mate?

Hey Rico,
Need some advice pls mate, it's my first time getting involved in SC and it would be much appreciated!
Initial Team:
Backs: Mitchell, Hanley, Swallow, Suckling, Docherty, L. McDonald (Langdon, Georgio)
Mids: GAJ, Pendles, Cotch, D. Beams, Daisy, Tyson, Polec, Ellis (C. Beams, Michie)
Ruc: Lobbe, Sandi (Nankervis, Thurlow)
Fwds: Danger, Dusty, Dixon, Pav, Caddy, Kersten (JKH, Impey)
21,400 left in bank.
Firstly, looking at swapping C. Beams with Dunstan as he looks unlikely for round 1.
Docherty also unlikely for round 1, so wanted you thoughts on replacing him?
Was thinking that if I swap Caddy for Fasolo it would free up $110,000, so I would effectively have $415,000 to replace Docherty with. Any defenders you would recommend for around 400K to shore up the back line?
Other options I was thinking with this extra $$ was to upgrade Lobbe or Pav to Westhoff?
Any advice you can give would be awesome, cheers mate
No worries man lets have a look.
DEF Yeh think its very risky with Docherty at D5 and LMac at D6. I'd upgrade Docherty here. Mitchell, Hanley, Swallow and Suckling are all good picks though. Georgiou is still on the rookie list so consider Clurey and Langford as rookies.
MIDS I like this line alot. Cotchin, DBeams and Daisy are great value and both GAJ and Pendles are good top end picks. Your rookies are fine except for CBeams who now has a foot fracture. Downgrade to Dunstan mate
RUCKS I'm not a massive fan of Lobbe this year. You can see my thoughts on him in the Opening Post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). Sandi is great value though
FWDS Danger, Dusty and Pav are all ripper picks. I'm not sure on Dixon but he will give you good cover for your rucks. Caddy is good value also. For your rookies also consider McCarthy, McDonough, Rohan and Blease. JKH and Impey are fine though.
I would consider downgrading Dixon and then Upgrading either Docherty or Lobbe mate. Look at maybe Dixon to Higgins?

Hey Rico,
Would love some of your great advice because l'm quite stuck current team
Def - J.Mcveigh, S.Mitchell, K.Simpson, C.Enright, S.Hurn, J.Webster (T.Langdon, A.Georgiou)
Mid - G.Ablett, T.Rockliff, T.Cotchin, D.Beams, D.Tyson, V.Michie, J.Polec, X.Ellis (L.Dunstan, M.Crouch)
Ruck - M.Luenberger, A.Sandilands (.F.Thurlow, A.Smith (needed to make cash somewhere)
Fwd - Dangerfield, D.Martin, M.Pavlich, J.Caddy, S.Higgins, J.Harris Kennedy (J.Impy, Z.merrett)
I'm just a little concerned with my forward line l'm thinking if l should get rohan for F6 i have three options
1.Leave the team
2.Mcviegh to Houli to get rohan
3.Webster to macdonald to get rohan
Which would you choose or would you recommend leaving the team at it is?
DEF very very strong line mate. No Sucking though? He's almost a must because a) he is so cheap and b) everyone will have him so there is less risk. Otherwise I like this line.
MIDS Like your premos here a lot. Would like to see DThomas or MMurphy in here though as they are great value. Your rookies are the best of the bunch so far. Not a lot wrong with this line
RUCKS Thats fine having ASmith at R4. You'll most likely not need that position. Leuey is becoming more and more popular and Sandi is a must have.
FWDS A good mix of top end premos and value picks here. I think you do need Rohan at F6 though. Also consider McCarthy and MdDonough for your rookies. I would go Enright to Suckling mate. That will free up heaps of cash
\
Cheers for the advice mate i made a few changes now let me know what you think
Def - J.Mcveigh, S.Mitchell, K.Simpson, S.Hurn, C.Enright, A.Mcdonald (T.Langdon, A.Georgiou)
Mid - G.Ablett, T.Rockliff, T.Cotchin, D.Beams, D.Tyson, V.Michie, J.Polec, X.Ellis (L.Dunstan, M.Crouch)
Ruck - M.Luenberger, A.Sandilands (.F.Thurlow, A.Smith (needed to make cash somewhere)
Fwd - Dangerfield, D.Martin, M.Pavlich, J.Caddy, S.Higgins, G.Rohan (J.Impy, J.Harris Kennedy)
Cheers for the advice.
i'm not to confident about thomas and his ankles and i don't mind running the 4 rookie mid field. I thought about suckling but i really like having the 5 premo back line cause it makes it super strong and kinda makes it a set and forget and saves me a trade for later. I guess i just sorta wanna go different to everyone else to separate me from the pack. If i did go enright to suckling what would you recommend me doing with the cash?
I would keep the cash mate. I really like that team if Enright was Suckers. Then hang onto the cash for upgrades early on. Also consider Langford and Clurey in your defender rookies

Hi mate
How do you think my team looks at the moment?
Thoughts on Macrae?
DEF:
Mitchell, Simpson, Enright, Suckling, Webster, McDonald (Clurey, Langdon)
MID:
Ablett, Pendlebury, Murphy, D.Beams, Macrae, Michie, Polec, Sheed (Dunstan, M.Crouch)
RUCK:
Lobbe, Sandilands (Thurlow, King)
FWD:
Dangerfield, D.Martin, Roughead, Pavlich, Caddy, Higgins (JKH, Impey)
Hey mate. I'm a little wary with Macrae. Only because he is coming into his second year and is priced similar to other more experienced performers like Daisy and Shiels.
DEF Solid to start with but Webster at D5 and LMac at D6 concerns me. McDonald is fairly safe but still has a high risk of vests in a strong Kangaroos side. I'd look to strengthen the back end of the defensive line.
MIDS Yeh Macrae is the concern here. I have no problems with the rest of this line but maybe consider Daisy or Shiels just because they are proven. And I really think Ellis needs to be in there. You could even go Macrae to Michie or Tyson for cash.
RUCKS I'm not a massive fan of Lobbe this year. You can see my thoughts on him in the Opening Post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). Sandi is great value though.
FWDS Quite a strong line here. You could look at Rohan at F6 to upgrade your backline but I reckon Macrea to Michie or Tyson would be the way to go. Don't have any other issues with the rest of this line

DEF a few interesting PODs here mate. Malceski is quality but for his price I would probably prefer Birchall. Not a massive concern though. I do have a concern with Broadbent however. He is priced at 80 and never averaged over 84. At his price he will need to average 98 to a) make you 100k and b) become a top 8 defender. Personally I can't see that happening so I would look elsewhere here. Mitchell, Suckling and Webster are all good picks. I think its a bit risky with Webster at D5 and LMac at D6 though. Especially with the lack of depth of defender rookies. Georgiou is still on a rookie list and LMac may cop a fair few vests in a strong Kangaroos side. I'd look to upgrade one of D5 or D6.
MIDS Ablett, Rocky and DBeams are great picks. I'm not 100% on Libba. He will be a star one day but I have my concerns with picking a player after their first big breakout the year before. Hardly ever do they back it up or improve again. Also with Macrae I would prefer DThomas as he is proven. Your rookies are fine though.
RUCKS Becoming a more common ruck combo. Nothing wrong here.
FWDS A lot of risk here. Danger is a great pick. At a 79ave Dahlhaus will need to average 98 to a) make you 100k and b) become a keeper. That's on par with Roghead and Cloke. If you can see him doing that then jump on, if not then there is no real loss in not starting him and picking him up later. I'm not a fan of Zorko this year, you can see my thoughts in the opening post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). Wright is a risk but is great value, as are both Caddy and Higgins.
Quite a few risks here mate. I know you have to risk it to get the biscuit but maybe one too many here. The rest of the team looks solid.
i get what you're saying and i do have some reservations about it too.
But i'll stick with my gut and go with the players i choose.
Broadbent - i dont think he has to avg 98. anything over 90 for a DEF is solid. there's 15 players who's avg are between 90-100.
and i really think Broadbent can be one of them.
Dalhaus - same reasoning as Broadbent. 9 players who avg is between 90-100, and Dalhaus can definitely lift his game to that level.
Macrae, i believe that he is better value than Daisy, Im afraid that he's more of an injury concern than Macrae is.
and as i think both are to have similar outputs i might as well go with the safer option.
thank you for your thoughts, i'll probably change my team a few more times before rnd 1 starts.
Fair enough man. Gotta go with your gut!

RUCKS Becoming a more and more popular combo here. Leuey will be solid and Sand is great value.
FWDS Solid to start with. I know you are staying away from mid pricers but guys like Higgins are great value. Most teams will have Rohan at F6 so I think this is your weakness here. Being so top heavy also means your backline drops away at the tail also

Hi Ricochet
I would like some advice on the team below
Def: Mitchell,Hanley,Hurn,Swallow,Suckling, Mcdonald ( Georgiou,Langford)
Mids: Ablett,Pendlebury,Rockliff,Beams,Thomas,Michie,Polec,Dunstan ( Ellis,Crouch)
Rucks Jacobs,Sandilands (Derickx,Thurlow)
Fwds: Dangerfield,Martin,Franklin,Wright,Higgins,Mcdonough ( JKH,Impey)
Salary Left $48.600
No worries mate
DEF Really really like your Hurn pick and Swallow is primed for a breakout year. In fact there isn't much wrong with this line. Just watch Georgiou because he is still on the rookie list at this stage
MIDS A nice strong midfield here. It has a good balance of top end mids and underpriced proven performers. Your rookies are fine also
RUCKS Jacobs is an interesting POD. Personally I don't think he can be a top premo ruck this year but if you can stick with him. Sandi is a lock at R2.
FWDS Danger and Martin are great top end picks. Wright is a little risky but with Douglas out he should get a decent run in the mids. Also consider Caddy here. Higgins is also great value. Consider Rohan for your F6 though as he will have better JS than most rookies.

DEF: A Walker, P Hanley, A Rance, D Rampe, M Suckling, D Grimes, (J Frost, C Cameron)

I found Daisy and Ellis really cheap for the quality players they are. Just feel I have a lot of areas to improve but I don't know how to go about it.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
- Chinwag
Hey mate, lets have a look.
DEF Walker, Hanley and Suckling are great picks. I like that you have loaded up the backline because of the lack of defender rookies but not that keen on Rance or Rampe. For Rance's price range strongly consider Birchall or Hurn. As for Rampe I would suggest Jimmy Webster. Rookies that I would suggest are Langford, Langdon, Clurey and LMcDonald.
MIDS Again you start strong with Ablett, Swan and DBeams. I'm not that keen on Harlett or even Gaff and BJack tbh. I would strongly consider MMurphy, Cotchin, Rockliff or rookie priced DTyson and Polec. Also consider Dunstan as a rookie.
RUCKS Not a fan of Grundy at all this year and you can see my thoughts on him in the Opening Post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). Sandi is great value though. For your rookies consider TNankervis and Thurlow.
FWDS Really need to be strengthened. Dangerfield is a must imo. I'm not a huge fan of the Gunston pick tbh. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. In your forward line consider underpriced proven players like Pavlich and value picks like Caddy, Higgins, Rohan, Blease, McCarthy.
Cheers Ricochet, certainly will take up the advice and change my team around.
No worries mate, Good Luck!

I am not sure what to do with my ruck devision. I thought of maybe downgrading murphy to tyson to free up money and maybe get a premium ruck eg. cox. Also not sure about cutler and KHJ. Is there better rookies that i have missed? Do you think this is a competitive side for a $50 comp. Or is there any other improvement that you can see.
DEF I think you've gone far to weak in defence man. I like your top end picks but most teams will only field 1 rookie in defence not 3. I'd definitely look to upgrade D4 and D5. Consider Suckling and Birchall here.
MIDS Very very strong. All are good picks but look at rookies like Tyson or Sheed. Maybe downgrade Libba to upgrade your backline.
RUCKS Are risky with both HMac and Sandi and limited cover. If your going with this combo I would consider Hickey on the bench so you can loophole better scores each week. And you have decent cover if HMac or Sandi go down.
FWDS Danger and Martin are great top end picks. Be careful with TMitchell. He has been killing NAB games because he has been attending more centre bounces than JPK, Jack, Hannebery, ROK, etc. I expect this to change round 1 and him og back to his forward role that we saw at the end of last year which also greatly affected his scoring. Wright is great value, as are both Higgins and Rohan.
DEF:S.Mitchell, P.Hanley, C.Enright, S.Hurn, M.Suckling, L.Mcdonald (A.Georgiou, T.Langdon)

Any advice welcome! Thanks for your time!
DEF Mitchell is a great top end pick mate. Only concern I have with Thompson is picking a player after his first big breakout year. He has averaged 80s before but never this close to 100. Still he is a solid pick based on last years performance, just be careful there. Grimes is good value. There are whispers he may be used as a lock down defender though so be careful. I'm not a massive fan of RShaw tbh mate. In the last 5 years he has only averaged over 73 once. I'd definitely look to upgrade here.
MIDS Pretty solid. Be careful with Libba though. Not many players can back up a breakout year. GaJ, Watson, DBeams and Daisy are great picks though. And your rookies a find. Also consider Michie and Tyson though.
RUCKS Becoming a more and more popular combo here. Leuey will be solid and Sand is great value.
FWDS Not much wrong with this line mate. Danger and Martin are great top end picks and both Buddy and Pav are underpriced proven performers. Caddy is great value and your rookies are fine.

DEF Bit of a concern fielding two rookies in defence mate. LMac has been great but may struggle to get decent game time or escape the vest in a strong North side. I like the rest of your premo picks and Suckers though. Also consider Langford and Langdon as rookies.
MIDS Not much wrong here tbh mate. Good mix of top end premos and under priced proven performers. Your rookies are fine also.
RUCKS Mummy is a nice POD. Will be interesting to see how he goes at GWS. Sandi is great value.
FWDS Again a good line. Only real concern is Gunston. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. The rest of your picks are absolutely fine. From your top end premos right through to your rookies

DEF Solid line mate. Mitchell, Hanley, Enright, Hurn and Suckers are good picks. And your rookies are fine at this stage. Not much wrong here.
MIDS Some interesting PODs here. Ablett and DBeams are great picks. Do you think Sloane, Libba and Fyfe can become top 10 picks? Because I think your missing out on the value of underpriced proven performers like Cotchin, Rockliff and MMurphy here. If you do thin these PODs can go there then back your gut though. For your rookies you need to consider Sheed, Tyson and Polec though.
RUCKS Nothing wrong with this line. It will be interesting to see how McEvoy goes but Sandi is great value.
FWDS Yeh we need to fix the tail end of this line. Look at some value picks like Caddy, Buddy, Rohan because I think your a bit top heavy here which means your tail is quite weak. Fasolo is fringe 22 and a big vest candidate also.

Any advice welcome! Thanks for your time!
DEF Mitchell is a great top end pick mate. Only concern I have with Thompson is picking a player after his first big breakout year. He has averaged 80s before but never this close to 100. Still he is a solid pick based on last years performance, just be careful there. Grimes is good value. There are whispers he may be used as a lock down defender though so be careful. I'm not a massive fan of RShaw tbh mate. In the last 5 years he has only averaged over 73 once. I'd definitely look to upgrade here.
MIDS Pretty solid. Be careful with Libba though. Not many players can back up a breakout year. GaJ, Watson, DBeams and Daisy are great picks though. And your rookies a find. Also consider Michie and Tyson though.
RUCKS Becoming a more and more popular combo here. Leuey will be solid and Sand is great value.
FWDS Not much wrong with this line mate. Danger and Martin are great top end picks and both Buddy and Pav are underpriced proven performers. Caddy is great value and your rookies are fine.
I've re structured my back line a fair bit. Let me know what you think about these trades, love your advice and this thread. Thanks champ.
Thompson out - enright in
Grimes out - duffield in
Shaw out - David swallow in
Libba out- Marc Murphy in
I'm not real sure if that leaves my midfield a bit weak, and also haven't done much research on the back line players. Your advice means a lot!
Thoughts on my latest side mate?

FWD: Dangerfield, Martin, Pavlich, Caddy, Higgins, B.Kennedy (Rohan, Kennedy-Harris)
CASH: $137,900
Not sure what to do with the cash, but feel like I don't want to risk Higgins. My DEF is certainly my weakest line, but will be where I first upgrade, would love D.Swallow back there.
Would love a bit of an analysis mate. Love your work. :)

what u think ric!?
Hey mate,
DEF Looks solid. I love the Hurn pick mate. I have him as well. Underpriced and should have been priced at a 95 average last year if it wasn't for his vest. For your rookies also consider Langford.
MIDS Some great top end pricks here in GaJ, Pendles and Watson. Beams is underpriced also. Instead of Kelly look at Tyson or JMartin. Also how much cash do you have left? Really think that DThomas or LShiels need to be considered.
RUCKS Becoming a very popular combo now. Nothing wrong here.
FWDS Danger, Martin and Buddy are great picks. IFor Gunston to be a viable starting pick and at an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. The rest of your fwds are fine.
Not much wrong here tbh mate. Nice team

OK so
Webster + Clurey + Watson vs Hurn + McDonald + Thomas
I like the second tbh mate. Hurn is priced at an 87 average but was going at a 95 average before his sub affected last game. He is also primed to get pushed up the ground a bit more. He smashed Webster here. Clurey v McDonald is pretty even tbh. Maybe go Langdon over McDonald for tonights game. And Watson beats Thomas but Daisy is so underpriced he will make you heaps of cash.
Definitely #2 mate

Love those changes except for Duffield man. He used to be gold but he plays too many lock down roles now. His role will change week to week. In the backline consider Hanley, Simpson, Birchall, Hurn.

Hey ledge,
DEF Both LMac and Clurey on the field is pretty weak but quite a few teams will start doing this with all these defender rookies being named. My only concern is LMac is a good chance to cop vests and what happens to Clurey in a few weeks when Port get their missing defenders back. McVeigh, Mitchell and Simpson are great top end picks though and Suckers is a must at that price.
MIDS Can't fault this line mate. Good top end picks and rookies are perfect.
RUCKS Becoming a more common ruck combo now. Leuey is safe as houses and Sandi is great value.
FWDS Another good line. Danger, Roughead, Martin and Buddy are all strong picks. And both Higgins and Rohan are great value. Nothing wrong here. No Caddy though??
Nice team man. Can't really fault it except for fielding CLurey and LMac down back. But I think a few will start doing that now (I still won't be though)

FWDS Danger, Martin and Roughead are great top end pick and Buddy is an underpriced proven performer. Caddy and Rohan are both great value also. Nice line
Sorry mate, on the rookies...
I'm worried Clurey will have shaky JS but Langford and Langdon should get games for a while. Nothing wrong with the rookies int he midfield at all. Currie and Thurlow are probably the best rookie rucks along with Nankervis. And both McDonough and JKH are some of the best fwd rookies along with Impey and McCarthy

Hey Rico, would love some feedback on this team:
Def: J. McVeigh, S. Mitchell, S. Hurn, M. Suckling, J. Webster, L. McDonald (W. Langford, T. Langdon)
Mid: G. Ablett, S. Pendlebury, T. Liberatore, D. Beams, D. Tyson, J. Aish, V. Michie, J. Polec (L. Dunstan, H. Cunningham)
Ruc: B. McEvoy, A. Sandilands ( F. Thurlow, M. King)
Fwd: P. Dangerfield, D. Martin, C. Wingard, T. Mitchell, S. Higgins, B. Kennedy (J. Kennedy-Harris, J. Impey)
Cash left: $60,500
Byes: 8/10/12
DEF Love your Hurn pick here. He is great value. McVeigh and Mitchell are great top end picks. Quite unique to see both Suckling and Webster picked in the same side. Risky, especially with LMac fielded as well but I hope it works for you.
MIDS Are solid all the way though. Some great top end picks and Beams is great value. Concern with not having Daisy though. And Aish would be a very big vest candidate at Brissie, as would Cunningham at Sydney. Consider upgrading Aish to Daisy here.
RUCKS McEvoy is a nice POD ruck. Not sure exactly how he will go at Hawks but he is proven. And Sandi is great value.
FWDS Danger and Martin are great top end picks. I'm not sold on Wingard this year. You can see my thoughts on him in the opening post here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,88951.msg1274742.html#msg1274742). I also have my concerns with Mitchell that we will see him move back to that fwd role we saw at the end of last year, which greatly affected his scoring. Hggins and Bennedy are great value though

Thanks mate! Owe ya one
DEF A lot will start fielding 2 rookies in defence now. I'm still not sold on it with lots still having shaky JS but it is becoming more popular. The rest of your backline is fine with McVeigh, Mitchell and Simpson being great top and picks and Suckling being great value.

Hi Rico and all,
Would love some feedback on my team. Have at it. I'm going for a league win...
Defenders
McVeigh J, Mitchell S, Hanley P, McDonald L, Clurey T, Georgiou A (Webster J, Fuller M)
Midfield
Ablett G, Pendlebury S, Cotchin T, Murphy M, Beams D, Thomas D, Michie V, Polec J, (Ellis X, Dunstan L)

Dixon C, Sandilands A (Thurlow F, King M)
Forwards
Dangefield P, Martin D, Franklin L, Pavlich M, Rohan G, Impey J (Kennedy-Harris J, Honeychurch M)
Cheers
DEF Very weak sorry mate. Mcveigh, Mitchell and Hanley are great picks but fielding 3 rookies is very risky (or two rookies with Jimmy Webster). I would definitely look to upgrade one to a premo or at very least to Suckling.
MIDS Very strong. Ablett, Pendles, Cotchin, Murphy, Beams are great premo picks and Daisy is an underpriced proven performers. Maybe this is where you can downgrade for cash. Look at Tyson maybe.
RUCKS Dixon is a risky R1. Maybe look to upgrade him. Sandi is great value though
FWDS Danger and Martin are great top end picks and both Pav and Buddy are great value. Maybe also consider Higgins in here as he is great value also.

Its a tough one because you will need to make about 100k from downgrading Roughie in order to get in Daisy. You could run with a fwd line of Danger, Martin, Buddy, Caddy, Higgins, Rohan though. It would be very similar to mine. This would free up enough cash to upgrade to Daisy. Would also mean you could upgrade Crouch and keep your stronger rookies.
I have a team thread but team has changed significantly over the last 2 weeks as you can imagine. Am keeping it under wraps now ;)
OK guys I'm gonna have to stop it here as I won't be around for much of today. I will have something similar open next week for questions after the weekend. Hope I've been some help :)

MIDS Really like this line mate. A good balance of top end picks and value in underpriced proven performers. Your rookies are fine also. Nice link with Langdon there too
RUCKS Such a popular combo now. Nothing wrong here at all
FWDS Danger, Martin and Roughead are great top end pick and Pavlich is an underpriced proven performer. He should destroy the Pies tonight. Higgins and Rohan are both great value also. Nice line

Mcveigh, Mitchell, Swallow, Suckling, Mcdonald, B.Martin (Langford and Langdon)

Tips on how i can improve my team, i only have 2k left.
(http://gyazo.com/0680f08d394d7f6049613a7ddff0c644.png)
Be careful with Duffield mate. His role can be very defensive at times and will influence his scoring. Don't expect too much improvement. Shiels is my only other concern. If Langford is named round 1 then Shiels shouldn't have to tag and he will be a great pick. If Langford isn't named then be very careful. These are my only two concerns here mate. I would look to go Duffield to DSwallow. And consider these rookies
DEF Laidler, Langford, Georgiou
MIDS JMartin, Tyson, Ellis, Dunstan
RUCKS Thurlow, Nankervis
FWDS McCarthy, Blease, Kersten
I made some pretty dramatic panic changes before last nights game. Thoughts? i have no money btw...

Bit annoyed that Jack is out...Changed him to Cotchin.
