Planning for 2017

[quinny88]

Quite a lot of risk in that midfield Quinny!

I've learnt my lesson this year - Im starting durable players!

Certainly is a lot of risk but Fyfe and Beams are 2 super premos that will have huge discounts and Swallow and Omeara will be too cheap to ignore. A lot can change between now and the start of next year though haha

[crowls]

how would people rate this years guys returning from injury.(?/10)
ablett - 7  still highest average of returning players
rockliff - 6  106 avg but cost me trades
libba - 7.5  solid performance and in line with expectations up to byes.  Cost points and cash for those that held him.
crouch - 5  slow return,  but average 109sc and just under 30 disposals last five weeks.  anybody who went libba to crouch during byes would be happy.   Expect him to be 105+ player next year.
wells - 8.5  101avg,  but still cost trades, those who traded him at byes maximised his cash and points.


What is noticable is all of them have missed games.   Got injured again and cost us trades and lost points in bench cover.      For 2017 any body coming back from injury has to be seen as a stepping stone.

Starting to think my first two mids are going to be Bont and Cripps. These two could easily be ultra premos next year.

Yeah, Bont is looking pretty tasty ay, not sure on Cripps though.

I don't mind Cripps, he's been well under the radar with Bont taking the attention at the moment.
Three around Avg. 126, hasn't been under 100 since Round 15 and 10/18 tons this year
He finished similarly in 2015, so perhaps he is in the JPK mould of being a second-half specialist

Can see Bonts improving his consistency and making super prem.    Cripps still questionable, maybe another year.

Pendles Fyfe Sloane Bont Rocky Beams

going hard with Danger the only missing piece.

Pendles, sloane, Bont, Rocky all started slow

Fyfe and Beams obvious.

Had a really good think about this today, finishing work early.

Laird, Doc, Heater
Pendles, Fyfe, Danger, Hanners, Beams
Goldy Gawn
Dahl, 1 of Gunston/Buddy my premiums to start with.

Lower end players / rookies

Shaz, Thurlow
Swallow, Jaegar, Myers, Fiorini
F/R DPP
Elliot, McCarthy, McKay, Turner

Can only go one of Rocky/Beams imo

[GoLions]

And here I was, all this time, thinking that you were one of the good guys around here

Also no older players whatsoever or questionable players with low TOG and positional or scoring issues.

Only the true premium scorers. No players who get good DT and low SC. too many times in the past I end up with dodge players who have had any one of these issues... Shiel, Titch, Lewis, Rich etc

Only players who give it 100% each week and don't decide to show up when they feel like it. Not getting a player who will accumulate and don't tackle or vice versa. Being picky but I hated some of the decisions I made this year.

Also only getting mids who play a good inside game and outside as well, not one who will rest forward each week or play more outside where they could go quarters without scoring..

Hahaha I would love both man but it seems 90% of the time only one of these blokes is on the park at any one time. One is always injured. I still have no idea how they both score together and with the emergence of all the Brissy's young mids (and further depth) I have a feeling with Beams back Rocky spends even further time up forward. Watched the Geelong game and he was up forward for ages. It's Brisbane's huge downfall and Rocky could kick 30 goals a year up there.

Beams Zorko Rich Robbo Matho Bastinac etc could cover for him easy.

Looks good mate. Agree with all.
I haven't really changed my thinking at all since my earlier post in this thread about 3 weeks back...

Def- Shaw, Docherty, Laird, Rance
Mids- Dangerfield, Pendles, Fyfe, Bont, Rocky
Ruck- Gawn, Goldy
Fwd- ?

Watch on Beams.
Breakout possibility- Acres.

[quinny88]

Rucks are gonna be a bit stale. Everyone will have Gawn and Goldy. Nicnat the only other decent ruck and he will be out for the season. Grundy probably the only other guy that slightly tempts me

[kilbluff1985]

Def: Shaw, Doch, Rance, Hurley
Mid: Fyfe, GAJ, Heppell, Danger, Pendles
Ruck: Gawn, Goldy
Fwd: McCarthy, Ryder if DPP, hard to say on the rest without knowing positions

Is that assuming there will be discounts on Hurley, Heppell and Ryder or are you going with them anyway?
