Ringos Rocky Road 2016

[Ringo]

After all the tinkering Milera and Hewett are new to fwds and mids,

[essendon]

And downgraded somewhere else like McGovern to lonergan to get the money?

Yep Sorry did not realise I had not posted the downgrade of McGovern to Lonergan.

[Money Shot]

No Harwood?

[Ringo]

Yep - Think Cutler the better option for me in SC.

That's made me less confident in starting Harwood :(

Round 1 Update

OK off to a lousy start with a score of 2071 ranking me 62758  Worst start for me in 5 years but can only go up.

Rd 1 Team
Def: Shaw, Bartel, Lonergan, Cutler, Dea, Adams (Brown(Ess), McDonald Tip)
Mids: Fyfe, Pendles, Ablett, Priddis, Rocky, Libba, Mills, Gresham ( Bennedy, Dunkley, Davis)
Rucks: Goldy, Gawn (Read)
Fwds: Robinson, Barlow, DeGoey, Wells, Menandue, Kerridge (McArthy, Milera)

The Good: Priddis, Ablett, Lonergan, Goldstein, Libba, Mills, Dea, Adams, Kerridge, Menadue, Wells
The Bad/Average: Bartel (only because of time spent off field), Cutler, Gawn, deGoey
The Ugly: Shaw, Fyfe, Rockliff, Gresham, Pendles, Robinson, Barlow.  Having 4 bench players including Kennedy scoring more than on field players.

Not planning on trading this week unless a major injury comes up.  Trades are gold and do not want to run out chasing points.
Players under watch for correction Pendles, Fyfe, Robbo although expect all to bounce back.
Rookies under watch for possible correction Milera and Gresham.

good side ringo. how did de goey go. i didn't see his score.

unlucky on players who were on bench. bennedy made my score much more respectable

[Ringo]

only scored 63 so he is a watch and see as well.

[NickyBoy]

Will be interesting to see De Goey in the next 2 weeks. No Steele and Swan out, hopefully he can lift his score only if Collingwood lift their performance as well. Getting a 90 point belting won't give too many people a chance to ton up.

well im hoping with no steele that pendles goes beserk

[Ringo]

Not trading this week although forward line will be look but loopholing Milera and McCarthy and unfortunately will have to make that call at half time.

Milera is on watch and may become Papley next week and if Robbo still out he may become Hall/Zorko

I think holding Robbo is the right call. He started the 2nd half really well and was tracking to 80 after a really disappointing first half. They said it is a slight tear so I am expecting he will be out two weeks and good to go. Simmo seemed to recover pretty well from his calf last year after and only missed the 2.

We will also get some clarity on the Swans rookies next week after a 2nd performance so Milera>Papley could be the right move pending selections.

[Ringo]

Ringos Rocky Road living up to the team name very rocky start.

Rd 2 Score 2026  >:( >:(
Total Rank 70019 (Can I get any worse)

Mucked the vc loophole due to going to gabba as well so stuck with Goldys c score

Rd 2 Team
Def: Shaw, Bartel, Lonergan, Cutler, Dea, Adams (Brown(Ess), McDonald Tip)
Mids: Fyfe, Pendles, Ablett, Priddis, Rocky, Libba, Mills, Gresham ( Bennedy, Dunkley, Davis)
Rucks: Goldy, Gawn (Read)
Fwds: Robinson, Barlow, DeGoey, Wells, Menandue, Kerridge (McArthy, Milera)

No trades yet but probably need to take some action this week.

Papley in is a must but who for Gresham the likely target via DPP but would give me 2 mid rookies with DPP on mids bench.  Or Go Milera/McCarthy to Papley. (Milera redeemed himself this week). B/E Milera -20, McCarthy -23 and Gresham 3. Gresham via DPP looks like the go.

Then which premium to attack although loathe to change premiums. 

Defenders: Bartel, Shaw, Lonergan and Cutler.  Cutler will survive as he will get his B/E but could become Hartley next week.   Bartel and Shaw I think will still finish Top 10 as they are only out of form.  Lonergan had a form drop but can still make his B/e
Mids:  Rocky the real worry but he is a champion and champions always bounce back.  Pendles and Fyfe may also loose cash but banking on them to bounce back.
Rucks: They are also loosing cash but everyone in the same boat.  Think the change in deliberate out of bounds has rules and HTB interpretations has decreased the amount of hitouts per game.
Fwds: Real concern here with Barlow and DeGoey  spudding and Robbo Injury concern.

Rookies doing OK and all making money,  (can even keep Gresham but he has a positive B/e)

Am concerned about Barlow to Hall as Rocket has said Jack Martin when he gets more much fitness will also go into mids.  may effect Lonergan as well so not getting to immersed in the Hall hype.

may be stupid but unless i have real injury concerns thinking of still holding the other trade.  Want another look at Zorko next week.

[sammy123]

got a few issues there ringo.

DEF: bartel and shaw will definitely be top 10 by years end. Lonergan can still be a great buy. Cutler will need to go soon.

MIDS: Depending on how long rocky is out for can you afford to hold? Gresham i feel will get the axe this week

Rucks: fine everyone in a similar boat.

FWDS: barlow and de goey the big worries here. de goey will probs lose cash here very soon.

i'm thinking bring in papley for gresham and swing menadue up into the mids or kerridge.

hopefully things get better from here
