What's all the hype around Newton Ricco son?

[essendon]

no major hype around newton, just the fact he should get some games and should score reasonably well when he does. just doesnt seem to be many really good mid rookies. thats why hes on alot of lists including mine

Heppell & Wines

Watson & K.Jack


Which one would be the best pair?

Interesting PODs mate. I would go Watson and KJack though

[Ricochet]

Maybe look at Lonie/Lamb instead of Lambert mate

I took your advice Rico and I realised I kind of made a big error in the Excel spreadsheet I was using for the team by having Cockatoo at $117,300 rather than $177,300  :o ::).

Defense: Kade Simpson (CARL) Heath Shaw (GWS) Jack Newnes (STK) Heritier Lumumba (MEL) Brett Goodes (WBD) Nathan Brown (COLL) Kamdyn McIntosh (RICH) Adam Saad (GCS)

Midfield: Gary Ablett (GCS) Nat Fyfe (FRE) Joel Selwood (GEE) Dayne Beams (BRIS) Daniel Wells (NTH) Patrick Cripps (CARL) Isaac Heeney (SYD) Aaron Vandenberg (MEL) Cam Ellis-Yolmen (ADE) Nakia Cockatoo (GEEL) Touk Miller (GCS)

Rucks: Todd Goldstein (NTH) Nic Naitanui (WCE) Mason Cox (COLL)

Forwards: Robbie Gray (PORT) Dustin Martin (RICH) Dane Swan (COLL) Tom Bellchambers (ESS) Mitch Clark (GEE) Jesse Hogan (MEL) Tom Lamb (WCE) Jack Lonie (StK)

Leaves me with $13,500

I think that is set for the time being without any surprises.
Thanks a heap for this.
Good luck on the season proper when the whistle is blown  :) ;).

hahaha ok. I like that mate.
Good luck with the season!

[essendon]

There's not much outside that man, but I'm fairly confident we'll see vandenBerg named

doesnt look like he even got elevated! (vandenberg that is)

this is the current mids but need advice on what other rookie to get instead of vandenberg now.
This is killing me hahah



thanks again champ!

DEFS: Shaw, Gibson, Newnes, Lumumba,  Goodes, Saad (Brown, Mcintosh)
MIDS: Ablett, Fyfe, Selwood, Parker, Griffen, Cripps, Cockatoo, CEY (Heeny, Miller, Lambert)
RUCKS: Maric, Goldy (Read)
FWDS: Bartel, Martin, Swan, Salem, Hogan, Clark (Karnezis, Lamb)
Cash remaining: $24,900.

Rico, i need some help trying to upgrade Lambert. The only rookies I can think of who will play at the moment is Newton, NVB, Sheed and Brayshaw but they are all 200k+. Should I downgrade Maric to Nicknat, Gibbo to Rance and Griffen to Swallow?. That will give me enough money to get Newton. Is it worth it?

I'd defintiely go Maric to NicNat for 47k gain
Maybe Karny to Lonie? Or Gibson to someone like Houli?

No problems with Belly at F3, its fine there man. I'd look at Buddy to Swan maybe? Swan is such a lock at that price. OTher than that your side looks very solid mate, its hard to fault. Well done. Might just have to fix up the rookies when we see teams

[Ricochet]

What's all the hype around Newton Ricco son?

Not too much hype, he's just a very good chance to be best 22 at Melbourne. So at his price he's a great pick, especially with the mid rookies dropping away. He is a very good player, just needs an opportunity. So wait and see if named

Hey mate, sorry gotta be quick. Only concern here is Belly at R2 with little cover. I would recommend bringing him in to the fwd line and upgrading to a premo at R2. Otherwise you may need a more expensive rookie at R3, like a Phillips

Yeh nothing reported yet, but may have been lodged, just not reported yet. How much money do you have left?

[Ricochet]

Ibbo + Gray + Fyfe Vs Simpson + Bartel + Lewis

First one for me mate. You'll get a top 3 mid (Fyfe) a top 2 fwd (Gray) and a defender that should average 85ish
