Ask Jay: Round 4

[Blues Blues Blues]

Ablett (M1) Parker (M4) Lamb (F8)

Pendles (M1) Beams (M3) Tarrant (F7)

[Bully]

Ablett (M1) Parker (M4) Lamb (F8)

V

Pendles (M1) Beams (M3) Tarrant (F7)

First option.

[Nige]

I'll drop it here too for your good self to answer Jay.

Parker + Cockatoo or one of Swallow/Hanners/Cotch/Griffen + Cripps.

I want Parker and Cripps, but that's not an option.

[Jay]

Belly Salem Brayshaw/Sheed

v

Nic Nat Lonie Vanderberg/Freeman

Tough, but I like the second option. Nic Nat is severely undervalued considering what he has shown in the past. He's now the sole #1 ruck so should be in the top 5 or so averaging ruckman - for 480k he's almost a lock.

Don't see Brayshaw/Sheed being worth the extra cash over Vanderberg who seems like he'll have solid JS. Salem is a quality pick if you can somehow scrape up the cash, but I'd go with the Nic Nat option. He's a bargain.

Jayman,

Needin your help bother.

DEF: Simpson, Gibson, Hibberd, Newnes, Brown, Saad (McIntosh, Goddard)

MID: GAJ, Pendles, Barlow, Steven J, VanBerlo, Cripps, Anderson, CEY (Cockatoo, Heeney, Vandenberg)

RUC: Maric, NicNat (O'Brien)

FWD: Bartel, Dusty, Swan, Bellchambers, SAlem, Clark, (Karnezis, Hogan)

plenty of cash left. do i neded to strengthen? any big holes or outs i missed?

help appreciated.

Really like this team champ. Any chance you have the cash to bring Goodes in for Goddard? Reason being I don't think Goddard will play early and Goodes is undervalued.

[Jay]

Hi Jayman, H Taylor, JPK, Bont or
C Pearce, Pendles, Bennell?

First one. Clancee Pearce is just too risky for mine, and I can't see all that much difference between JPK/Bont and Pendles/Bennell. Think you'll find they'll share similar averages come year end.

Would rather take less of a risk and start Harry Taylor. :)

[Jay]

assuming that neither of these 3 are subs who would you start:
mcintosh, oxley or brown

Mcintosh for sure. Named on the wing so fingers crossed he avoids the vest. Oxley I doubt will play and then there's Brown who is only good for a 50-60.

[Jay]

Ablett (M1) Parker (M4) Lamb (F8)

V

Pendles (M1) Beams (M3) Tarrant (F7)

Certainly the first option mate. Ablett is a must, as always - its just too tough to try and bring him in.

Tarrant I don't see the value, would rather a bargain basement rookie like Lamb. Beams is better than Parker, yes, but I might not be by all that much this season I think...

Best of luck :)

[Jay]

I'll drop it here too for your good self to answer Jay.

Parker + Cockatoo or one of Swallow/Hanners/Cotch/Griffen + Cripps.

I want Parker and Cripps, but that's not an option.

Gotta go with Cripps man, he probably represents the best value of all the mid rookies in terms of JS and scoring potential.

Of the 3 guns, I'd go Andy Swallow. Underpriced, has had a full pre-season and should return to his averages of the past 8)

[TexR74]

I may have already asked this but who is the best rookie mid for $150k aside from CEY, Heeney, Miller and Cockatoo

[Jay]

Vanderberg :)

Vanderberg :)

Oops sorry forgot to list him. Any other?

[TexR74]

Also can you look at my team?

DEF: Simpson, Shaw, Newnes, Lumumba, Higgins, Goodes,  (McIntosh, Saad)

MID: Ablett, Pendlebury, Fyfe, Selwood, Brayshaw, Cripps, Cockatoo, Ellis-Yolmen (Heeney, Miller, Lambert)

RUC: Goldstein, Maric (Read)
FWD: Gray, Bontempelli, Lycett, Salem, Clark, Lamb (Hogan, Daniel)

5 Questions:
1. What do you think?
2. Maric or Minson?
3. With a lot of people going with the same F4-6, could another combination seperate me from the pack?
4. Caleb Daniel vs Jack Steele (if both are selected)

What about Dom Sheed, seems a lock, can he average 75-80? If so given lack of rookies I think hes a good option, thoughts?

Nah I'd rather pay a little extra for NVB
