Rico's Advice Thread 2015

[TexR74]

Steele vs Daniel

[Jezza249]

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

Wait to see if Cripps is the sub tomorrow night mate. If he is then swap him to Newton.

Who are you trading out if you bring in SMitchell?

i was going to take out shaw for Smitchell

Sam Mitchell isn't a defender though man?

whopps my bad, what do you think of my team tho any late adjustments I should make

Ibbo and belly vs Simpson and hogan

[nperera95]

Hey Rico, I've currently got $124k sitting in the bank and I want to use majority of it as i don't like having such a large amount of cash just sitting there. My side is;
Def: Simpson, Shaw, Newnes, Lumumba, Goodes, McIntosh (Saad, Brown)
Mid: Ablett (vc), Pendles, JPK (c), Ward, Rich, Newton, Cripps, Yolmen (Freeman, Cockatoo, Miller)
Ruck: Goldy, Maric (McLaren)
Fwd: Bartel, Dusty, Swan, Salem, Clark, Lamb (Hogan, Lambert)

Thanks in advance  :)

Steele vs Daniel

Might have missed it but here was my answer to this one man

Caleb Daniel vs Jack Steele?

Not sure if either will be named mate. But I'd lean towards Daniel being the one that will get a gig

I'm not a hige fan of Leuey. He'll be sharing ruck duties with SMartin so I can't see him scoring that well. If you're set on him tho then Belly needs to be in your fwd line as cover. I'd look at him to replace Bonts. Other than that the rest of your lines are fine. Just keep an eye on the rookies like Anderson and Miller. Anderson has vest written all over him and Miller may be pushed out through the return of GaJ and Jaeger (in RD2)

[Ricochet]

Dangerfield vs Wines

Dangerfield by a heap mate. I see him getting back to him best and hitting 110+ again

[essendon]

Hey rico!

Ive change my team a bit and here is what its looking like!

i figured belly is too good to pass up as down the track he will be a forward reserve and ruck reserve. Is this alright?
And are the rookies ok, any of these i shouldnt have and should have someone else instead?
like someone instead fo the ruck reserve and mainly midfields.
like, youll tell me to get rid of miller, and then if hes not named ill bring in NVB, do you think its alright to have 3 people above 200k?
and youll tell me anderson is sub likely, so might bring in cockatoo, but hes probably the same with the vest?

Thanks very much mate!
doing a superb job as per usual!

DEF: Structurally its perfect mate. I'm not a fan of Taylor, I just don't think he'll get the freedom they gave him in NAB. He'll get a lot more lockdown roles. But back your gut in there. All other picks are fine. Consider NBrown over Hamling for JS reasons

MIDS: Love your top 3 picks and Danger is great value. I  really see him getting back to his best. I'm not sure on Griffen but he could be great value, needs to get back to that 110+ bracket though or you'll be wasting a trade to upgrade him. As for your rookies, Miller may get pushed out when GAJ and Jaeger return, Lambert hasn't been named for the Tigers, and Steele will be unlikely to play after being dropped for NAB3. Consider Cockatoo, vandenBerg, Newton, NVB

RUCKS Maric is a ripper pick and Minson could be a nice POD. Belly gives you great coverage as well

FWDS Really like this line. Great structure and great picks

DEF Great structure here. Simpson and Shaw are great premo picks and Newnes/Lumumba/Goodes are ripper value. Rookies are great too.

MIDS A different structure with 4 premo mids and 1 midpricer, but I don't mind it. Great premo picks. Personally not a fan of Rich but he could be great value. Rookies are great, but Kraks hasn't been elevated yet so consider vandenBerg as he has more chacne to get elevated.

RUCKS Perfect combo and Belly gives you great cover

FWDS Really like this line mate, great structure and combo of premos/rookies

[Ricochet]

Ibbo and belly vs Simpson and hogan

Might have missed it mate but here was my answer earlier

Ibbo and belly (f4) vs Simpson and hogan

Ibbo and Belly mate. Ibbo will go 85+ and Ibbo has potential to be a top10ish defender. Also Belly gives you great ruck cover
