Money Shot 2017

[Money Shot]

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

Although they can go higher it doesn't mean they will ;)

No third up ruck rule will help the likes of Jacobs. It'll probably mean Goldy and Gawn will dominate more too.
Sauce is a risky pick. Could break your season. Doubt it'll make your season.
Grundy is the next best ruck after Gawn and Goldy... wouldn't go searching for others personally but it's your team.

Really is something to consider. I personally think the pure ruckmen in the game like Goldy, Gawn and Jacobs will have a great season with the third man up rule in place.

It'd be less than 5 hitouts a game which are up for grabs anyway... i doubt its gonna have a massive impact on anyone, probably will hamper the bonts scores more than anything  ;)

Dahlhaus, Macrae, McCluggage, Ainsworth, Bowes, Sympkin (Bolton, Drew)

Cash: $264,700

Watchlist: Hartlett, Swallow, O'meara, Ryder, Bennell

[PureSwag]

Team looking good bit I think there are a couple areas for improvement.

Defenders: Only have 2 prems is a big risk but could pay off big. In my opinon upgrade maybe keefe or someone for someone like a shaw.

Mid: Solid, like every year for year. Maybe one do many prem mid could downgrade get some cash and improve Defence or Forward.

Ruck: Gawn great pick most likley gonna have him in my team rd1. Goldy is a risk after last year a bit disappointing and this year with them being without good forwards could kick some goals and get big scores.

Forward: With the cash can get 1 more prem and get rid of one of your rooks.

Like it MS - plenty of rookies down FWD/back who look like getting the nod... the ones you named are only the start of that list.
Not sold on Sloane though... If you could get someone like Hannebery who will benefit from Mitchell leaving I think that'd be a much better option purely because he's a guy who can easily go 115-125 whereas I think sloane's ceiling is about 115

I could be wrong here but I feel as though Sloane over the years has been more consistent and with the midfield I already have I already have guys that can go 125+ and although sloanes ceiling isn't as high I feel as though he will always give you 100-120 each week which I would prefer than a 80-140.

Sloaney is a gun. However you may need to drop him to a rookie to get another defence premo pending rookie options at the start of the season.

Yeah he is! But he would be the first dropped also.

I have enough money that I could go Hampton into Hartlett or Sympkin into Ryder so that's what I would most likely be doing at this stage anyways.

Hi MS, like your second team. Personally don't see the advantage of weakening your midfield, as earlier suggested, to strengthen either your defence of forward line. Can't see who you'd bring in that would increase your scoring and money making ability to make it a viable proposition. I would suggest you keep an eye on Scooter Selwood to see what role the Cats have in mind for him, perhaps put him on your watchlist. I've changed my team a couple of hundred times already trying to find the right combination of players and it is currently different to anything I have put up as yet. But this is my midfield at this point in time :-

Danger,   Pendles,   Fyfe,   T Mitchell,   Beams,   S Selwood,   D Swallow,   D Myers,      //  S Pepper - Powell,   J Foote,   C Brown

cheers mate         ;)

First four are guns and I love the Mitchell pick. Beams I don't think will score enough to be a keeper as he has to manage himself for the rest of his carrer, Selwood is to be a risk for me and I don't think he will go over 90+ and therefore be a wasted pick (imo) Swallow I like however as he could average 100 and be a great stepping stone. Myers is a gun.

[crowls]

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.

MS welcome to 2017 teams mate,  What is your thinking behind a mid pricer defence?    I do find it difficult to justify high 500K prices for def prems.   On the other hand we will need to have Shaw, Doc, Simmo by year end so a strategy must account for how to get them into the team as well.

Agree on Beams although still see him as averaging 100 which means he makes us about 120k whilst scoring pretty well. If Scooter averages 90 he makes  approx 200k and has good JS. I'm going for money and security plus throw in a little wishful thinking on Beams who most will have anyway. Cheers mate.     :)
