Money Shot 2017

Macrae has been downgraded to Heeney. He wants more midfield time and with Mitchell gone I can't see why he wouldn't get it. 100 avg here he comes 8)

Feel like he will still spend a lot of time up forward... swans have a very good midfield, if anything Jake Lloyd gets more time there for me. Plus he adds so much to there forward line. At that price though i reckon he will be a top 20 forward for sure, just wouldn't be picking him counting on a 90+ average. 85-90 any thing more is a bonus. He's a F7 for me

Thanks mate :) good advice!

word of advice the only north guy you pick is Goldy the rest are fantasy irrelevant.

Haha, cheers mate! I guess you would know best ;)

Hey guys, I'm making a less 'mid price crazy' team now.

How ever I was wondering what everyones thoughts are on KK from Gold Coast? was his stellar year a one hit wonder or do we think he can get back to a 90 avg this year? thanks.

Could be worth a punt - With Malceskis retirement he may get more responsibility but how Barlows arrival will effect team is  await and see. Preseason games may provide answers.

Thanks mate. I think I will leave him out for now and bring in a premium and I can always downgrade later.

More opinions welcome :)

Getting KK is a bit craycray (crazy).
Defence will want to be filled with the likes of Docherty, Monty, Adams, Shaw, Laird, Rance, Vince, Boyd, Simpson, and even JJ who comes before KK anyway, alphabetically at least. ;)
Too many good picks available. Can't see KK as one... too speculative for mine.

Yeah good point! The defence actually have better scoring potential than the forward line this year. Although I am going for a lot of mid pricers this year I highly doubt KK will be one of them.

Houli, Hartlett, Smith, Hibberd, Murphy, McGrath

Is my current defense, I know that it is still very risky but I have done my research and can't see why they can all go 90+ (accept McGrath)

Houli: Mr. consistent. Will be a bit of a player of difference and does start seasons strong.
Hartlett: before this season was scoring above 100 easily and I think that port will play him in the guts this season.
Smith: the biggest risk in my opinion. Has shown that he can score above 90 throughout a season but if he can this season I don't know.
Hibberd: New Club with decent talls and smalls around him well allow him to play as a free defender. Very confident in a 90-95 average.
Murphy: the doggies love him and love the ball in his hands. Can't see why he wouldn't go 90+ but would happily take a 85 avg and use him as a cash cow.
McGrath: would be silly not to start him as he could potentially score 80 for the season as a midfielder at Essendon.

My issue with this is that, in your ideal scenario, you can only get one of Shaw, Docherty, Simmo, Rance, Joey, Vince, Laird, Boyd, Adams, JJ, etc

Yeah I know, something I am looking at very closely as well.

At the moment I'm thinking that it will probably be the same amount of trades to get guys like Shaw, Docherty, Simmo etc in but I'll just start off with cheaper guys who could potentially out score them anyways.


3 super premiums and 3 rookies will take a minimum of 3 trades anyways.

5 premiums and 1 rookie will be 1 trade and then 2 straight swaps for the two lowest performing players for cheaper super premiums later in the season.

Shaw and rookie combine for 175 one definite keeper.
Hartlett and Hibberd combine for 180 two possible keepers.

It's a risk I'm willing to take.

what have you sacrificed for that defence? it costs 200k more than the more generic ones

EDIT: 3-0-5 structure compared to your 0-5-3

I have decided that at this stage the two rucks I am going to start with is Jacobs and Sandi with Ryder as the back up in the forward line.

Last year I started with Goldy and Martin and thought that I would take the safer option. The 'safer' option cost me 100's of points throughout the year as I didn't want to waste a trade on either of them.

This is why with Sandi and Jacobs being so cheap I can make some money off them before deciding who I want to have as my two rucks. And I cant see why Jacobs cant be one of the elite rucks in the game again and therefore become a keeper.

Ryder up forward gives me the safety that I'm looking for as well.

Thanks for all the feedback guys it is much appreciated.

Interesting, you'll have to burn a lot of trades to get the top rucks... or just drop points like you did last year. A lot of risk there... You'd want your other lines to be pretty steady

I think Jacobs can be a top ruck again.

No doubt, if he gets fit again... He's a top 5 for sure for me... 110 is his cap though and goldstein and gawn can both go higher
