No need for me to go and make a team at this stage because you sir have done it for me. Well done. 10/10 and a gold star too.
Forgetting the rookies this is as probably as good a starting premo side as I could come up with if the maths is right.
First iteration, best iteration.
Pretty much my exact team bar a couple changes... so 9.5 for you since mine is a 10
9.67/10 Tom, stikes a good balance between rooks and guns and avoids most of the 2018 broken down nags returning. hibberd could be hurley or hanley. expect hibbs to be more consistent than the irishman's wild ride.
McLean also has lots of upside to him. great job

That's awesome, if Greenwood has a big year this will be hard to beat!
Hope he is not a late out...

Just a little curious Tom, M Crouch over R Sloane ??
Interested in the Toby McLean pick? apart from that good side.

More confident in him being consistent across the whole year, Sloane will still attract the tag even with Gibbs coming over imo.

Increase in his scoring after a role change halfway through last year, hoping it continues into next, cheers mate!
Agree with MCrouch, more consistent than Sloane; depends if you want a wild ride
Good side, like the McLean and Lobb picks. As I've said about other teams on here, think starting Yeo is risky but could easily pay off.
Slightly prefer Team A to Team B, seems to be better balanced and gives you a bit more flexibility up front as well.
Hoping Greenwood recovers from surgery in time for Team A tipoff

Nice team - Rd 14 may be an issue with 7 of your starting prems with the bye. Rioli is a gutsy pick and may pay off he stays on the park.
I looked at similar structure but was concerned with having to start 3 rookie defenders each week.
Few players still not fully training so keep an eye on.
Really good team to sit on over the byes. Love some of the pods across the lines as well.
I think Rioli is as good a chance as any to make some good coin and turn into a premo pick later in the season.

Not too fussed about the 7 prems in R14 at the moment, should have a complete team by then so should be even across all lines with premos on each bye. Looks like I gotta replace Cyril now anyway, and I'm actually quite optimistic about defensive rookie prospects right now so that's why I'm rolling with 3 on field and the fact I don't like too many premo defenders.

Good team, can't really offer much advice other than keep an eye on the forward rookies. Fritsch definitely viable, just need one more good scorer in there.

Holding Danger, a trade isn't worth the 60 points or even the 120 points you'd lose if he's out for two weeks, I don't think he'll drop too much cash either, should stay above 600k. It's easy to say you'll pick him up at a lower price but I went all last year without Dusty or Mitchell due to other issues, it's way too hard to predict and not worth the risk of not having him all year imo.
If I need more money for rookie moves, I'm open to trading Hurley and Goldy to Hibberd and Nank.

Off to a good start.
Not sure if I should trade this week.
Don't think Langdon walks straight back in to the Giants side so I reckon I'll trade him, probably to Barry.
Bont and Lobb could be the other two issues, I reckon I'll hold Lobb as I expect him to do well against Sinclair this week but dunno what to do with Bont. Could go up to Oliver or down to Cripps, I wish I had a way to get to Dusty though.
How about Brayshaw to Barry and Bont to Dusty before price changes.
Kelly and Holman good for m7 and M8 at the moment and Dusty scores will help as well.

Is trading Brayshaw, who will make cash, over Langdon, who's out for a month, worth it to get Dusty over Cripps though, tough call.
I could use Langdon to loophole Fritsch and one of the Eag boys, hmmmmm.
Was only a suggestion on how to get Dusty. Brayshaw while having JS will be a slow burn and will only go up 28k with a 60 score whereas Barry with a 53 will rise $41k. So comes down to Barrys cash generation and Dustys points v saving a trade. Your decision.
I am in a similar boat with Bont and giving him another week to see if any improvement. Scored 101 last week was a positive sign.
Loopholing probably a good option if not trading ZGL.

I was caught out last year holding too many under performing premos making it hard to get the 115+ guys last year so I reckon the trade is worth it to get Dusty this early.
Cheers Ringo, I didn't even think of this option until you mentioned it.
DEF: Hurley, Laird, Savage, Finlayson, Murray, Doedee (Naughton, Murphy)

$6,600 Remaining, 26 trades left.

R4: 2,154 Overall: 1,767
Looks like I'm in danger of a donut with the possibility of Fritsch being dropped but I'm not sure what do, Goldy and Billings also looking like issues but I reckon I'll hold them for now.
Venables probably the one to go but not sure who to get, options are:
- Coffield via Garlett
- A week late on Crowden but still cheaper than Coffield
- A week early on Guelfi
- A week early on Mirra via Garlett & Finlayson
Thoughts would be appreciated :)
I would go Coffield as he has JS and will rise to an estimated 225k whereas Crowden will rise to an estimated $160k a slower rise than Coffield. So if looking to upgrade Coffield will get more cash sooner.
We can have another look at Guelfi and Mirra this week and make trades if warranted there,
Mirra is a 27 mature age, and named on field. He's in this week for me.
Yeah I think Venables to Coffield makes sense here. You won't be able t upgrade next week anyway so there's no harm in leaving both Mirra and Guelfi until they are on the bubble.

Not sure what you mean by the above comment Ringo, Crowden is already 160k?

Definitely some great signs there, decided to give him another week though and pick him up on the bubble.

Yeah that last bit is definitely true, I've decided to go with Crowden over Coffield though due to the 12k price difference, I reckon their JS are about the same.
Cheers for the comments guys!
I'd go Coffield via Garlett. Opens up a handy D/M link with Finlayson. I'd say the 10k extra is worth it over Crowden.

R5: 2,036 Overall: 7,072 - Dropped 5k spots in a week >:(
At the last minute last week, I changed from Crowden to Coffield, which turned into a disaster, not because Coffield was bad, but because I ended up having to field Garlett for his 21 and with him dropped, Buddy injured, and maybe no Fritsch, my forward line is a mess.
Thinking Garlett and Buddy to Guelfi and Heeney/Gray; worried about having to field another fwd rookie for Gray in his bye and the Jacobs tag he'll probably get this week, so I'm leaning towards Heeney at this stage.
Would love to be able to punt Parker and Goldy as well but trades are going fast so not sure what to do there.
why not parker to heeney/gray via garlett put coffield on the field
Quote from: crowls on April 27, 2018, 03:04:23 AM

Because buddy is out injured and Parker isn't?
I would do Garlett to Guelfi
and Buddy to Gray personally think the Jacobs tag will go to Wines. Bye is still 4 weeks away so you may have other cover available and Gray will be there for all three byes.
25 trades left not too bad as you really only have to upgrade 6 rookies (Think Doedee playing well enough to hold down d6) requiring 12/14 trades leaving you 11 to sort out injuries/loss of form. Good position.
