Mighty Magpies 2016

[MC]

If..... Leuey did get on the park and if he managed to play 3+ games to achieve a price increase and if he averaged 80 points as you seem to think he will, he won't make much cash! A player who averages 80 points should be worth approx 334k points (correct me if I'm wrong) he is priced for 2016 at $310k so, he'd stand to make $20k. What I want to know Ringo, is what information you have that leads you to think Leuey will a) play every game and b) average 80+ points? Please tell me, I'll put him straight in my team too if you have access to reliable information such as training reports, tactical employment plans for Essendon, projected minutes on ground per game?

Gee whiz DCAK, I saw your thread on "Smoke and Mirrors" and it appeared to insinuate that the excellent contributors on this forum, of which we all ask endless opinions of (and glean intel from) are somehow providing us misleading feedback? For what it's worth, this is in my opinion, an unfair assessment.

Also, and again this is just in my opinion, a forum contributor (and moderator) like Ringo far from deserves the terse serving like that which you delivered above. At this point in the pre-season, no-one can be expected to provide the "reliable information" of the like you requested. All team player selections are best guesses and personal preferences with strategy in mind. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Funnily enough, I did see that within your "Please Critique my Team" thread that the 'berger was at F4?

There are other threads where we can debate the legitimacy of picking Leuey, let's leave this thread to rating the Mighty Magpies  ;D

+1

Also, Ringo follows the Lions closer than most, so it's fair to say he'd have a pretty good grasp of Berger's potential scoring power given it was only a recent departure.
I personally am not going for the cheap R2 or DPP link at this stage, though I could see myself tempted by some solid preseason numbers...

BTW Guys not offended at all and thanks for the support.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and able to express it.

From my Brisbane perspective I know what Berger is capable of and willing to take that risk especially if Bombers use him as No 1 ruck where he does his best work.  Still maintain he is in the top3 tap ruckmen in the comp (better than Martin in this regard) but loses a bit around the ground.

Thanks for all the advice guys! Looks like its time to work Crouch into my team and look at whether or not to have Leuy or not!

Couple of Rookies doubtful so may need to adjust Rd 1

Nice Team and structure.  Simpkin my only really concern as I think may be better options but that is personal.
