Ask Jay: Round 4

[Jay]

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)

Already answered the first 3 questions. Team looks good.

I'd lean more towards Steele if they're both named. Think Daniel will have risky JS.

is it silly of me to hold Lambert @ M11 even though he aint named in the team.
i reckon he'll get games and i've already got decent mid premos & Rookies.
(GAJ, Fyfe, Lewis, Parker, Danger, Newton, Cripps, Cockatoo - Heeney/CEY/Lambert)

[TexR74]

Newnes vs Swan, probably the toughest choice for me yet

Since this has come up in another thread Jay, thoughts on Dale Thomas?

Has had a full preseason and is training fully, could he get back to a 100+ average?

The only thing is this year we have so many forward premos who will easily go 100+, he might be too much of a risk

Swan or gray? Really thinking about starting gray over swan just not so sure if i should. If i start gray then means i gotta go p cripps to steele to make it happen what would you recommend?

[Padawan]

Round 1 Captain?

Pendlebury, Fyfe, Selwood, J P. Kennedy

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)

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?

I don't think he can average that mate. Prefer guys like NVB, Cockatoo and Cripps around a similar price.

Yep, if you're going to pick a rookie who isn't named, go with Krak. He plays later games so is better for loophole purposes :)

Swan easily.

I still can't decide. This is driving me insane.

I've had responses of Griffen, Hanners and now Spitta... and then there's my bias telling me to pick Cotch.  :'(

Nope, I'm done with Daisy. Too many promises over the years e.g. him being fully fit, more midfield time etc and he's always the same old Daisy. Way too risky.

Swan is better value for money, but I predict Gray will score more. All depends on whether you need the funds for your other lines or not.

I'd go with Swan and Cripps :)

[Bully]

Cotch has had an interrupted preseason, don't forget the golden rules of supercoach.  8)

Round 1 Captain?

Pendlebury, Fyfe, Selwood, J P. Kennedy

I'd go Fyfey mate, reckon he'll crack out a huge one at home this weekend 8)

Are we trying to keep secret that he'll be better than GAJ this year?
