and also Simpson V Shaw.

Why don't you go Fyfe, Barlow, Nic Nat, Simmo and use the extra 110k to bring in Lids/Montagna for Hoff?

Ringo · February 20, 2016, 05:13:28 PM

Just got a couple of concerns on both Lids and Tags but watching closely. With Ports early draw think the Hoff can get off to a flyer for me.

Fair enough, the cash could also be used to turn Dea into Harwood or have you gone off him completely?

Ringo · February 20, 2016, 05:32:33 PM

Keeping my eye on Harwood tomorrow. Cutler, Lester and Harwood vying for 2 positions imo.

Great team.

I have said to other teams that I'd go with one of Shaw and Goldy they are just too pricey together. I'd run with S/Martin/NicNat and MUMFORD and keep Heater. OR get Simmo and keep Goldy. Spend a little more on forwards maybe? EMac is good at D4 I reckon.....

Please look at my team? :)

Lions question: Would you start Harwood or Rich if money wanted an issue?

Ringo · February 21, 2016, 12:37:47 PM

Still concerned about Rich's ability to handle a tag. If I was confident he could overcome would be a no brainer. He has been training with the mid field group and I probably expect an average 80/90 from him so depends on whether you want that in defence with his DPP.
I am seriously looking at Harwood as well but until he is named it is just that. Lester, Cutler and Harwood vying for 2 positions I have Harwood in front but am not a selector.
So hope that answers yor question and my choice would be Harwood if named out of the 2.

Thanks UB - With team 2 I have gone expensive so have flexibility to bring in lower priced prems if need be. Eg Shaw to Simmo or Birchall or Goldy to Martin etc. Will more than likely end up with Harwood/Aish/Emac at D4 depending on NAB performances.

LOL Ringo my team is the same. No Joke.

Ringo · February 22, 2016, 12:31:26 PM

Had a further play based on a couple of feedbacks and looking at it agree that $1.9m is a bit much to spend on Shaw, Fyfe and Goldstein so have gone Shaw to Simpson and then a couple of more rookie adjustments,

Def: Simpson, Bartel, Yeo, Harwood, Brown (Ess) Tucker ( Broad McDonald-Tip)
Mid: Fyfe, Pendles, Ablett, Gray, Rocky, Libba, Mills, Gresham (Matthieson, Hibberd, Dunkley)
Ruck: Goldstein, Mumford (Cox)
Fwds: Martin, Westhoff, Barlow, Wells, Kerridge, Pickett (Grimley, Adams)

Harwood could become MacKenzie/Aish depending on team selections,

If further cash required for rookie adjustments then will do Goldstein to Martin. Rookies place holders at the moment.

Keeper Bye Structure 4/4/6 (Only Libba doubtful)

Upgrade Targets
Defence: Shaw and McVeigh if they are maintaining scoring and other defenders who will make Top 10. To look at much later.
Mids: Watching performances and will jump on fallen prems or rising mid picers before price rises. Keeping an eye on all Swans mids to see which one of JPK, Hanners or Jack could come on. Others on radar Beams, Priddis (will definitely come in later it is just that current mids have higher ceilings), Ward, Wines.
Fwds: Lids, Montagna, Franklin and Dahlhaus on the radar,

Hawker_08 · February 22, 2016, 12:58:19 PM

Love it mate, very similar to mine, just a few different prem picks. Really like the side. Good Luck!

Ringo · February 26, 2016, 03:57:36 PM

Had a play around with another structure so just wondering which team looks the best - Bear in mind Rookies in Both teams are not set.

Team 1 with a 3/5/2/3 Keeper structure
Def: Simpson, Bartel, Yeo, Harwood, Brown (Ess) Tucker ( Broad McDonald-Tip)
Mid: Fyfe, Pendles, Ablett, Gray, Rocky, Libba, Mills, Gresham (Matthieson, Hibberd, Dunkley)
Ruck: Goldstein, Mumford (Cox)
Fwds: Martin, Westhoff, Barlow, Wells, Kerridge, Pickett (Grimley, Adams)

v Team 2 with a 4/4/2/4 Structure
Def: Simpson, Bartel, Birchall, Yeo, Brown, (Ess) Tucker,( Hartley, Collins)
Mid: Pendles, Ablett, Gray, Rocky, Libba, Mills, Parish, Gresham (Matthieson, Hibberd, Dunkley)
Rucks: Martin, Mumford (King)
Fwds: Martin, Westhoff, Barlow, Franklin, Wells, Kerridge (Grimley, McDonald Tipp)

Team 1 is obviously the strongest but think Team 2 has the ability to make the cash more quickly. Team 2 also has one more keeper but just a little concerned with the defence. (Not counting Libba as keeper in both teams at this stage).

So effectively Fyfe v Birchall and Franklin

This is a team I am trialing till Rd 1.

With the number of Defence and Forward rookies surfacing have gone real strong in the midfield. This obviously has effected other lines but think this team has the greater scoring potential. Have quite a few higher priced rookies and players and dependent on Rd 1 may drop back to lower priced if necessary.

Comments:
Defence - Shaw will finish in the Top 5 so why not spend the extra and start with him. Can not see him falling too much in value maybe a max of $40k. McGovern I think can break out this year and will go 90/95 which will be a keeper at D5/6. Harwood if named could be a keeper if he realises potential but if not will be a stepping stone. Balance rookies who will be finalised in Rd 1.
Mids - 5 Top Line mids who will be in the Top 10 and maybe even be the Top 5 mids for 2016, So gone for Points from Rd 1 to maximise chances. Libba is a musr at the price and may become a keeper. Balance Rookies but some higher priced including Mills, Parish and Gresham that may go down to lower priced foe maximum cash gain,
Rucks - Expect Goldy and Martin to be Top 4 rucks this yera so starting with set and forget. R3 although Grimley there at the moment could become Currie or Cox.
Forwards Martin and Barlow will be in Top 5 Forwards this year - De Goey I am predicting will have a break out year and hopefully remain at F6. Wells is a must at the price and what he is capable of. Rookies complete the forward structure.

Have $30k cash left to adjust rookies if required as well.
Bye Structure is 10/10/10 although keeper bye structure is 4/2/8 so will need monitoring as prems are brought in.

Reasonably happy with this team and have had fun going back through my various versions posted here.

Comments welcome.
