Ringos Rocky Road 2016

[Ringo]

Jansen would be probably slightly in front of both Keays and Matho based on our intraclub trials.  Will be interested if it translates through the NAB cup.

Sitting Team till after NAB cup.  $38k cash

Rookies to be finalised. 

If cash needed to adjust rookies options to be looked at:
Goldstein to Mumford
Crouch to a rookie

12 Definite Keepers, Sinclair more than likely will be at F6/F7 and Libba/Crouch possibilities as well.

Bye Structure 8/13/9 Keepers if all 15 above 4/6/5 Very manageable.

Like the general structure. Weak backs but lots of teams doing that good idea.

Awesome rucks.

I don't like the forwards however. I'd be iffy about Merret,Wells and Kennedy. u could spend the money on Guns n rookies instead. Upgrade Merret downgrade the other 2 to rookies. spend extra cash in mids and backs. If u think Wells will stay fit for long enough and score well enough even if tagged keep him but I really dunno about him.

Sinclair is a bit expensive for mine but you obviously see some potential in him.

I don't see anything in eric mackenzie...what are people expecting him to average and why? Spend the extra 40k and go harwood if you need somebody in that price range

Up until yesterday was wary of Harwood as he appeared to be fighting for a spot.  If he maintains the form he showed yesterday in the NAB cup will be in my side. Toying with these changes but waiting concluion of NBA cup.
To free up cash Goldy to Lobbe
Crouch to JPK
Sinclair to Tippett
Merrett to Wingard
McKenzie to Harwood.

These changes are predicted to get me a higher score.  Only concern is how strong will Lobbe be.

[meow meow]

Getting rid of Todd isn't recommended.

[Ringo]

Knew that would bring some comment but can nearly do all the above with Martin to Lobbe. The choice then is Crouch to JPK or Merrett to Wingard  so a few options up my sleeve.

[Gigantor]

Not sure about Tippett

Only went big in the second half of last year because Buddy and Pyke dropped off.

Only there for Ruck DPP selection but if Grimley is named early then he will come in and Tippett could become another $480 - $500k forward.  Maybe Robbo may make his way in yet  ;) ;)

Thought only women changed their minds but this is the NAB sitting team.



Have gone without Ruck cover but currently with Currie and R3 but with a number of rookie rucks maybe surfacing at NAB cup will use a playing ruck rookie at R3.

Like the look of having 5 prem mids + Libba,

Rookies are place holders and will sort out for Rd 1.  Plenty of options available to play around with,

[H1bb3i2d]

Don't see Dea going over 50ppg. Only a rookie, but he's probably important to your team structure as it stands.

[piesfan1989]

The 5 prem mids + 3 on-field def rookie structure doesn't entice me that much...it  looks great seeing a stacked midfield but when you do the numbers it doesn't feel right.

What you're basically comparing against is JPK + Dea > Crouch + Yeo/Smith.

JPK + Dea = 110 + 65 (to be generous) = 175

Crouch + Yeo/Smith = 95 + 90 = 185

From a points perspective it doesn't make sense considering the amount of risk you're taking by leaving your backline exposed. Dea will make cash but how much? $150k peak rise after 8-9 weeks? Crouch will make around 200k when his average hits high 90's. The combined ceiling of Crouch + Yeo/Smith is much higher than JPK + Dea as well.

As I said...it looks good, but you can't pass up the value that crouch holds. This game is about having a balance between value and proven scorers..

[Ringo]

Just to let you know Dea is not a certainty 5 def rookies, 6 mid rookies and 4 fwd rookies are just place holders with adjustments to be made when Rd 1 comes.   just getting the structure I want and some of the prems may also change based on what role they are performing.  Dahlhaus and Simpson the real ones and Bartel is shaky given Scotts remark.

[Ringo]

Just trying to decide between these 2 teams atm:

Team 1
Def: Simpson, Bartel, Yeo, Dea, Byrne, Brown (Ess) (Hartley, Broad)
Mid: Pendles, Ablett, Gray, JP Kennedy, Rockliff, Libba, Hopper, Gresham (Kerridge, Hibberd, Dunkley)
Ruck: Goldstein, Natanui (Currie)
Fwds: Martin, Dahlhaus, Westhoff, Wells, Kennedy, Picket, (Petracca, ADams)
Cash left $4k
Premium bye structure 4/7/3

Team 2:
Def: Shaw, Bartel, Yeo, Dea, Brown (Ess) Tucker ( Broad McDonald-Tip)
Mid: Fyfe, Pendles, Ablett, Gray, Rocky, Libba, Hopper, Gresham (Petracca, Hibberd, Dunkley)
Ruck: Goldstein, Mumford (King)
Fwds: Martin, Westhoff, Barlow, Wells, Kerridge, Pickett (Grimley, Adams)
Cash Left $5k
Prem Bye Structure: 3/4/7

Rookies for both teams including Dea are place holders pending Rd 1. Both teams have a similar prem structure but different mixes of a couple of Prems. 

Leaning slightly towards Team 2 but prem bye structure needs to be managed.

[Capper]

so its
jpk, NicNat, Dalha
V
fyfe, Mummy, Barlow

ummmmm
Team 2 for me.

Im going a pure mids  midfiled and DPPs in the fwd line (kerridge, Barlow, ando, petracca)
