Rico's Advice Thread 2015

[Ricochet]

Richo

I've got $545000 for 1 Mid - Your thoughts Wines Vs Griffen or other?

Also not good with terminology (very old and computer illiterate)

POD?
JS Reasons?

Thanks heaps

haha all good mate. POD is point of difference.  So guys I haven't seen much of, haven't checked their exact ownership % on SC Gold but haven't see much of them around here.
JS is job security. So in Brown's case he is a lock to play every week, compared to other defender rookies who will be in and out of sides regularly.

Can you find a little more cash to grab Dangerfield? I think he is a great pick at that price.
I'd prefer Jack Steven over Griffen and Griffen over Wines

I really like this team mate, well done.

[Stormzors]

Its really too weak at the back end mate. Most will have Goodes at D5, a rookie hear is far too risky. I would downgrade Taylor to a midpricer like Ibbotson/Henderson/CPearce and upgrade your D5 to Goodes.

Cheers mate, love your work!

[JMFCB]

Thanks Richo

Have a great round 1

[metroid]

What do you reckon Rico? Team 1 has no ruck cover but I think apart from that is pretty balanced. $5k left. Team 2 has the ruck cover at the cost of a 'premium' ruck and the loss of a defender for Lumumba. Do gain Pendles though. Appreciate any advice on which you think is better, or changes that could be made to either. Rookies subject to selection obviously.

[PureSwag]

Rico I whould like any comments mate.

Def: K.Simpson,S.Burgoyne,B.Smith,B.Goodes,C.Marchbank,J.Hamling (H.Goddard,A.Saad)

Mid:S.Pendelebury,J.Selwood,M.Barlow,R.Griffen,A.Swallow,N.Van Berlo,B.Newton,P.Cripps (I.Heeney,T.Dumont,T.Miller)

Ruc:W.Minsow,T.Bellchambers (R.O'brain)

FWD:R.Gray,B.Deledio,B.Goddard,D.Swan,P.McCartin,M.Clark(J.Hogan,K.Lambart)


What do u think mate.

DEF: One too many rookies here mate. Most will go with only one rookie at D6, some will go with Goodes at D6. 1 is fine, but you need to upgrade Marchbank here.  Premos are fine and Goodes is great value

MIDS: Like the structure here mate, 5 premos and 3 rookies is perfect. Top end picks are fine and both Griff and Swallow could be great value. I'm not completely sold on both but back yourself in. For your rookies I'd look at replacing Dumon and Miller with 2 of vandenberg, Cockatoo, Ellis-Yolmen.

RUCKS: I like the Minson POD and we should know more about whether Belly will be there RD1 tonight after the hearing. I think you need to keep some cash on hand for your R3. Just in case only expensive rookies are named RD1 (if any at all) and you can upgrade O'brien. Ruck cover is very important in my eyes

FWD: Very strong mate. And I think this is where we can find some cash to strengthen that backline. Gray, Lids, Goddard and Swan are all ripper picks, but maybe look to downgrade Goddard. Just the uncertainty of the ASADA case and who it will affect around him. We don't know how he scores playing with a bunch of replacements. As for your rookies I'd also consider Karnezis, Salem, Lamb.

Sup Ricco again I want to show you the changes I made to my team and If its better

DEF:K.Simpson,S.Burgoyne,S.Broddie,C.Pearce,B.Goodes,B.Smedts (H.Goddard,A.Saad)

MID:S.Pendelebury,J.Selwood,M.Barlow,R.Griffen,A.Swallow,N.Van Berlo,B.Newton,P.Cripps (I,Henney,A.Vandernberg,C.Ellis-Yolmen)

RUC: W.Minsow,T.Bellchambers (S.Durdin)

FWD:R.Gray,B.Deledio,D.Swan,C.Manye,C.Salem,P.Karneziz,(J.Hogan,T.Lamb

CASH LEFT: $17,500

What should I do now, bro!

Hey man lets see. I don't mind the defence upgrades, you could probably go Smedts down to NBrown though. Yep Mid rookies are perfect now. OK not so keen on Mayne, I don't see him becoming a keeper. How about Tom Mitchell instead?? Fwd rookies are perfect, also consider Lambert though

Whats up Ricco, hows your day going.

DEF:K.Simpson,S.Burgoyne,S.Broddie,C.Pearce,B.Goodes,N.Brown(H.Goddard,A.Saad)

MID:S.Pendelebury,J.Selwood,M.Barlow,R.Griffen,A.Swallow,N.Van Berlo,B.Newton,P.Cripps (I,Henney,eA.Vandernberg,C.Ellis-Yolmen)

RUC: S.Mumford,T.Bellchambers (M.Cox)

FWD:R.Gray,B.Deledio,D.Swan,T.Mitchell,C.Salem,P.Karneziz,(J.Hogan,T.Lamb)

CASH LEFT: $10,500

Rico I have M.Cox as my backup because I don't believe you need a good back up Ruck men and with M.Cox i'm going to do the captain loop (if you know what that is)

[Stormzors]

I think this is pretty standard but after fixing up my backline I've got:

DEF: K. Simpson, H. Shaw, J.Newnes, G. Ibbotson, B. Goodes, A. Saad, K.
McIntosh, H. Goddard

MID: G. Ablett, N. Fyfe, J. Selwood, P. Dangerfield, R. Griffen, P. Cripps, I.
Heeney, C. Ellis Yolmen, J. Anderson, T. Miller, N. Krakouer

RUCK: I. Maric, W. Minson, R. O'Brien

FWDS: R. Gray, D. Martin, D. Swan, T. Bellchambers, C. Salem, J. Hogan, M.
Clark, K. Lambert

Bank: $10,800

Cheers

[AaronKirk]

It is the same question I asked in the x v y thread with a tad more context

Gray + Goldy v Nic Nat + Fyye

If I choose option 2 my premo mids will be Ablett, Pendlebury, Fyfe, Selwood, JPK and Rucks will be Nic Nat + TBC

compared with

Ablett, Pendles, Selwood, JPK and Gray with Goldy + TBC rucks,

Is 4 round 12 premo mids a problem?

[Jezza249]

I am still undecided on between playing either cripps or newton and also unsure whether to pick sam mitchell or shaw

[Ricochet]

Its really too weak at the back end mate. Most will have Goodes at D5, a rookie hear is far too risky. I would downgrade Taylor to a midpricer like Ibbotson/Henderson/CPearce and upgrade your D5 to Goodes.

Cheers mate, love your work!

No worries at all man :)

[Ricochet]

Thanks Richo

Have a great round 1

Same to you mate, good luck

OR

OK so its basically

Simpson Selwood Belly Gray
VS
Lumumba Pendles Salem Bartel

Option 1 wins on points just imo. But can you go Simpson to Lumumba and another rookie other than Salem up to Belly? If you could that would be the winner imo

[Woppa15]

Sidebottom or Priddis

I know it's Riccos advice thread but go the Sidearse.

Appreciate any advice you may have on my final side Ricco...

Def:
Simpson. Shaw. Newnes. Lumumba. Goodes. Saad. (N Brown. McIntosh.)

Mid: Ablett. Fyfe. Jelwood. Ward. Cripps. Cockatoo. Heeney. VDG. (CEY. Miller. Lambert.)

Ruck: Goldy. NicNat. (Read.)

Fwd: Bartel. Dusty. Bennell. Swan. Salem. Clarke. (Hogan. Steele.)

$48,100 remaining.

Can't fault it mate. Keep that cash on hand in case you need a more pricier R3 as cover. And I doubt Steele will play RD1 after missing NAB3. Nice team man

Cheers for the advice Ricco! I Gotta ask to squeeze a little more from you though haha.

I couldn't help but have a slight tinker to see what a 4/5/2/3 Premo structured version of my above side would look like.

Most noticeables - Hibberd for Simpson. Pendles for Bennell. Basically F3 to M5.
My mids feel stronger but feel I've lost some cash generation in dumping Cripps. Fwds a little weaker, not that confident with Salem as F4, I felt F5 is a better spot for him. Hibberd was my original choice pending ASADA outcome.

Love to know your thoughts on it and which is better.....

Def: Shaw. Hibberd. Newnes. Lumumba. Goodes. Saad. (Brown. McIntosh.)

Mid: Ablett. Pendles. Fyfe. Selwood. Ward. Cockatoo. Heeney. VDB. (CEY. Miller. Lambert.)

Ruck: Goldy. Nic Nat. (Read.)

Fwd: Bartel. Dusty. Swan. Salem. Clarke. Hogan. (Lonie. Krakouer.)

$19,700 remaining.
