Real Dream Team POD Picks

[pommyadam]

Barlow is @ 21%

Yeh thinking about it I guess that's expected

Also Titch is at 25% ownership atm

wow :o

Ery body copying people on forums like this teams. Pods are a thing of the past. Unless you dont post anything  ::). But then its not as fun.

Would love Tom mitch.. Just cant get him in but. Ive only gone 3 premos up forward. If i needed a roughie for a 4th to step up for a premo status it would be him. But defence worries me so i need to stack;

how do you have a stacked defence and 3 premos?

my defence is STACKED (and talking Waters at D6 here) and the most I can do is Lycett as F3
and that's with a midline containing Barlow/Pendles/Redden as the only guys above 510k

For me its
Waters D5 and Whitecross D6
Cotchin M4 in the mids (with Rocky, Ablett, Barlow)
Swan F3, TMitchell F4

I don't necessarily agree with this. There's only 30 spots to fill and if people start jumping on the same 2 or 3 "PODs" then there's plenty of opportunity to be different, especially in the forwards.

Yeah i agree Mr C. But unlike the old days where you would of shared maybe 4 or 5 players with your opponent, now your sharing 15-20. Even more if your in a better league.

The thing with this year there are quite a few mids and forwards you can pick from so there will likely be more pod's in these positions also likely a more even spread of ownership with a few of the obvious selections.

Now down in defence this is less likely due to lack of quality defenders and rookies I see quite a few names being thrown up that you think are under the radar so to speak but obviously they are not because of the problem down there.If anything this year will be won with whoever can nail their defence the best from the start.

[Ricochet]

Yeh I reckon this year there will be even more POD picks than previous years.

[Mr.Craig]

I really don't rate the back PODs people are throwing up - Mayes, Vlastuin, KK, Henderson...can't see any of them improving by a big enough margin to be worthwhile.

[pommyadam]

key points:
D2-D5/6 (Ibbo, Seeds, Newnes, Henderson, Mayes, Lumumba, Vlastuin, Fisher, Waters, Whitecross, Yeo, Others?)
Starting ruckline (Kreuz & Leuey? Or one and a premo?)
To Rocky or not to Rocky?
Rook selections

Of those I've seen Mayes and Hendersons name thrown up a bit but was more referring to players like Yeo and Pearce for a couple of examples.
But those you mentioned there I agree don't think they will go up by much.

[pommyadam]

in fairness, averaging 80 or more put you in the top 15 defs (that have retained it for this year)
you up it to 85, and only the top 6 defs are in it

risky? sure, but when you've got a glut of defenders around 300-350k (that people think are primed for breakouts) then it's foolish to not consider them in some way

I've just put James Kelly into my team.  Not sure how much of a POD he is at this stage though.

[Hagebear]

Enright, Treloar and Zorko probably my most unique at this stage.

2.17% ownership at the moment

I'm surprised by that. Would be a decent pick if you were confident that the cats were not going to rest him from time to time.

He played 21 games last year.  Granted, the two previous years were 17 and 18, though I can't remember if that was due to injuries or not.
