UTG Season 2: JV's Power Rankings

[jvalles69]

Purely my opinion based on the team I consider your best 11 as well as using season long averages.  Left my own team out of the seedings.  Will add it later if I get the time.

Seed #1
Team: Halal Snack Pack
Coach: Big Mac
Best 11
D: M.Hibberd, J.Martin(SE), Z.Jones(SE)
M: D.Hannebery, R.Sloane(inj), A.Gaff, J.Kelly
R: M.Kreuzer(SE)
F: M.Walters, E.Yeo, D.Smith
Bench: N.Newman, S.Jacobs, S.Ross, J.Roughhead
AVE: 1106


Good: SPECIAL EDITIONS!  Can’t see any weakness on field and that depth is insane.
Bad: The backline SE’s are high risk high reward, could make or break each week.
Ugly: nil

Seed #2
Team: Packed Out!
Coach: TomK
Best 11
D: J.Lloyd, L.Hodge, M.Hurley
M: Z.Merrett, L.Parker, M.Murphy, A.Gaff
R: J. Witts
F: T.Greene, I.Smith, B.Hill
Bench: K.Kolo, M.Crouch,S.Lycett,  J.Gunston
AVE: 1102

Good: This team is the most consistent and solid across the board on paper, and all lines run deep.
Bad: nil
Ugly: Who the hell do you bench in the mids each week?

Seed #3
Team: Pack’er Up Boyz!
Coach: Nige
Best 11
D: J.Lloyd, M.Hurley, R.Burton
M: T.Mitchell, B.Gibbs, D.Shiel, L.Whitfield
R: M.Kreuzer
F: S.Higgins, J.Gunston, J.Billings
Bench: nil, K.Jack, T.Nankervis, T.J.Lynch
AVE: 1096

Good: Mitchell and Gibbs in the midfield is a rock solid foundation anchored by arguably the best ruckman in the game currently.
Bad: That forward line is very up and down, consistency an issue.
Ugly: Backline with no back-up could be an issue.

Seed #4
Team: BAW Bay Packers
Coach: Holz
Best 11
D: J.Howe, L.McDonald, A.Mackie
M: Z.Merrett, B.Gibbs, M.Crouch(SE), J.Steele
R: J.Witts (SE)
F: L Franklin, I.Heeney, J.Martin
Bench: S.Atley, H.Greenwood, nil, J.Riewoldt
AVE: 1095

Good: Almost a super premo midfield which will suggest a high score each and every week, plus the addition of 2 x high scoring special editions in Crouch and Witts.  McDonald and Steele very serviceable for low end guys.
Bad:  Holz has traded hard and sacrificed to get his studs,  upgrades in the backline will be required to strengthen this team.
Ugly: Depth will be a problem if there are 1 or 2 injuries to the starting 11.

Seed #5
Team: Go Pack Yourself!
Coach: GoLions
Best 11
D: K.Simpson, M.Hurley, J.Howe
M: L.Shuey, T.Cotchin, M.Murphy, D.Heppell
R: T.Nankervis
F: C.Wingard, S.Higgins, T.J.Lynch
Bench: M.Boyd, L.Whitfield, nil, C. Daniel
AVE: 1047

Good: Another solid midfield with a nice anchoring back line.  Good backup depth too.
Bad: Another iffy forward line with players that can be up and down on any given week.
Ugly: Ruck stocks are low.

Seed #6
Team: Rapid Pack Movement
Coach: Lord Sneeze
Best 11
D: M.Suckling, S.Burgoyne, K.Kolo
M: L.Neale, N.Fyfe, B.Goddard, M.Duncan
R: B.McEvoy
F: T.Miller, S.Higgins, B.Hill
Bench: B.Vince, C.Oliver, C.Pederson, E.Betts
AVE: 1022

Good: Almost a POD team across the board.  Solid and versatile team with good back up.
Bad: Ruck stocks need improving.
Ugly: Again some up and down players in defence and forward.

Seed #7
Team: Pack Mule Lads
Coach: Hawka
Best 11
D: H.Shaw, D.Roberton, S.Hurn
M: T.Cotchin, T.Boak, B.Goddard, N.Jones
R: P.Ryder
F: E.Yeo, I.Smith, M.Walters
Bench: B.Smith, D.Zaharakis, R. Stanley, J.Roughead
AVE: 1014

Good: Another solid team without the big names, but all lines can put up big numbers.
Bad: Midfield can be inconsistent.
Ugly: Ryder’s injury could cause some setbacks to the output of his team.


Seed #8
Team: Swanny’s Rat Pack
Coach: _wato
Best 11
D: J.Howe, M.Hurley, Z.Tuohy
M: D.Hannebery, M.Duncan, B.Crouch, C.Oliver
R: S.Naismith
F: I.Heeney, C.Wingard, S.Higgins
Bench: M.Boyd, R.Gray, T.Goldstein, I.Smith
AVE: 1021

Good: Strength across all lines with 4 mids that can go big.  Forwards that are part time mids is always good, and depth is there for injuries or late outs
Bad: Some up and down scorers across defence and forward.
Ugly: Ruck position is weak, a nice set and forget ruck would solidify this team near the top.

Seed #9
Team: BackPackers
Coach: BB67th
Best 11
D: D.Roberton, T.McDonald, A.Rance
M: N.Fyfe, B.Crouch, D.Beams, J.Newnes
R: M.Kreuzer
F: K.Stevens, S.Higgins, S.Motlop
Bench: J.McGovern, J.Watson, M.Leunberger, J.Darling
AVE: 994

Good: Full starting side that have been known to pull big scores over the years…
Bad: Those same players have been up and down all year unfortunately…
Ugly: Defence and forward lines drops away after D1 and F2…can the squad get back to their hey day scores?

Seed #10
Team: PakAttack
Coach: Koop
Best 11
D: L.Hodge, T.McDonald, P.Hanley
M: T.Scully, L.Shuey, T.Cotchin, R.Atkins
R: M.Kreuzer
F: K.Stevens, M.Wright, C.Petracca
Bench: B.Vince, S,Gray, T.Hickey, G.Hewett
AVE: 960

Good: Solid side without the spectacular players, but enough to score well across defence to ruck.
Bad: Quite a few players with consistency issues.
Ugly: Weak forward line, requires at least another upgrade.

Hope it helps, was a bit of a rushed effort, but should show you where you stand and what you need to do at the very least!  ;)

Whitfield in the midfield over Heppell adds like an extra 5ppg :p

Polec SE is also like a 100avg mid.

I would like a better F3 though ;)

Haha, yeah I originally did it on paper with who I thought would be averaging the most, then last minute I decided to work out the averages of each of my starting 11, so adjust accordingly. ;). Could be could that I haven't shown everyones full deck of cards!

Love it. I get houli back next week which is a plus 11 and makes me equal 1 :)
