Ringos Team Thread 2024

I'd grab Heeney, even if he tanks you will still be sitting on a 600k investment, can't see you losing too much money at 639k and a BE of 52. They say Parker still 1 week away so it should be business as usual for the current midfield mix, at least for this round and potentially longer. 

[Colliwobblers]

Heeney not a round 14 bye, I don't think he can be ignored, nothing to suggest (even parker in) that it doesn't just continue on, me I'm tired of being a spectator on him.

Think Sanders might actually be a better call than Clark as the others say and gets you to Heeney.

Agree it looks like there may be a smorgasbord of cheap mids over the next month so no pressure to move in that area.

Ryans burnt me before but even when he has a bad game, he scores plenty, 114 BE he's not going to rise significantly in price, so I'd go Heeney over him.

I know Combens dear but BE is -75 if he scores 75 again he goes up $70K and Clark can go to Nyuon next week, but that probably blows the budget for getting Heeney?

[Ringo]

Yep just short of getting Comben instead Nyuon.  Garcia another option but prefer to wait and see if not sub again.

[Mat0369]

Garcia is an interesting option, he went into the CBA's a hell of a lot in the last and finished with 10. I think he is one to wait for when he is on the bubble, but he could be a nice option next week if the role is similar again.

[Ringo]

OK depending on teams

Option 1
Carroll, McKercher, Sanders to Graham, Heeney, Nyuon - Cash left $99,700

Option 2
as above with Lohmann instead of Nyuon. Cash $18k Lohmann has scored 88,81 in the 2 games he has not started as sub and with injury to Bailey should have JS.

Option 3
Carroll. Mckercher, Sanders to Graham, Neale, Lohmann Cash left $29,500

So question is Neale v Heeney and Nyuon v Lohmann

Started looking at the next byes  and Rd 14 could be a killer
Rd 12 6 out (4prems)
Rd 13 4 out (2 prems)
Rd 14 12 out (3 prems)
Rd 15 8 out (4 prems)

[Mat0369]

Heeney over Neale. I like Neale as an option but he is banged up with the ankle and might be a better option down the line while Heeney is one to get in right now

Lohmann ahead of Nyuon for multiple reasons.

1. Lohmann will go up in cash this week
2. Bailey is out 4 to 6 weeks which gives him better JS
3. Nyuon isn't a rookie I'd pick off one game and will present a downgrade option next week anyway if needed

[Colliwobblers]

Heeney + Lohmann.

Seems not many have noticed him but you know the Lions best and his numbers are solid.

Heeney is just having a massive impact in everything he does, he's getting SC points for his celebrations even. In with a C.

Then watch Neale outscore him by 40 :)

[Ringo]

The issue with Neale and I have seen 2 games live as well is that he is definitely proppy and despite this still scores well. Will he succumb in due course is at the back of my mind.
Another Lion I will be keeping an eye on after Baileys injury is Rayner to see if last weeks form continues.  He will get M/F next week.

[Mat0369]

Yeah Neale has been destroying teams on one leg. It has been extremely impressive and he is one I really want in my side as a nice POD. I think I'd rather give it a couple of weeks because Fages has been saying he is sore through the week and almost lucky to get up the last couple of games.

Average: Sharp, Wilson, Graham, Heeney, Lohmann, Fyfe
Bad: D'Ambrosio, Green, Powell
Ugly: Injuries to Stewart and Williams, Rozee, Clark.Dempsey.

Shocking week so what to do this week. Will sleep on trades but probably prefer to not use boost with only 2 remaining, Await news on Williams, Stewart is a hold.
Initial thoughts Clark to McAullife and Coffield to Hugo Garcia via Graham.

[Mat0369]

Those were 3 pretty good trades, you also managed to avoid Comben who could backfire spectacularly for those of us that grabbed him.

You need some coverage for Stewart this week since he is out with concussion. Coffield to Garcia is the move that makes a lot of sense. In your situation I would be inclined to use the boost, maybe turn one of Darcy/Dempsey into someone like Woewodin if he avoids the vest. He was good when he came on in the last game and may get a run and has that DPP swing. Although with Mannagh and Clark a dead rookie could be a disaster.

Burgoyne from Port may be the better bet. He is a bit pricey after the last fortnight, but he has scored amazingly without the sub vest.

[Bully]

Comben has already made 70k and can be replaced by any player via DPP, if he was flipped next week it would hardly be noticed, low ball risk in anyone's language. The only disappointment was the coach sending him forward, can't see that happening every week.

[arbel]

Backline is the focus for the moment. Stewart will miss a week and the Coffield to Garcia trade helps that. The issue will then be if Williams is also out will be another hole to fill. I would say if you can make it work with a boost to get Walsh in. At 570k probably the cheapest we'll see him but you probably have other lines to look at first.

[Bully]

I think Williams is a good chance to play and that's courtesy of the ABC commentary, I'd be more concerned about D'Ambrosio, being subbed out not a good sign.

Closer to 60 than 70 and made similar cash to someone like Lohmann who was cheaper and has a BE of like 4 this week. The initial price was was nice, but Lohmann looks like the better pick of the two at the moment.

I think Williams is a good chance to play and that's courtesy of the ABC commentary, I'd be more concerned about D'Ambrosio, being subbed out not a good sign.

To be honest, they both probably need to go. Getting the vest isn't a good sign for future JS and Williams has had achillies issues in the past. With his price and BE he may be worth dumping now
