Thinking about 2018

[enzedder]

Beams will be in my team if right R1.
Grey won’t be. Those 40s will kill. Can’t see him averaging well enough.

With you on Gray,  think we will have lower variability options available in the forwards.    M Barlow will be a better option than Gray.   Greene, Lobb, Heeney, all going to be more reliable scorers.

Grey won’t be. Those 40s will kill. Can’t see him averaging well enough.

IMO the decision on Gray (presuming he regains DPP status) is not that straight forward.
Here are the top 10 FWD's from 2017, and their averages;
1. Macrae (106.9)
2. Ryder (103.0)
3. Yeo (102.1)
4. Franklin (98.3)
5. Heeney (97.6)
6. Townsend (97.5)
7. Greene (96.1)
8. Kennedy (93.5)
9. Wingard (93.0)
10. Billings (92.7)

IMO there is no way that Macrae, Ryder and Yeo will be FWD eligible in 2018.
Would you prefer Gray's 40's to Greene's suspensions? I don't!
So, IMO Gray rises up the FWD order of merit.

Billings is the only one I'm set on atm. Ryder is one I definitely want to but would be happy to him in Rucks so will have to see who is available as DPPs. Apart from those two I'm not locked in my thinking yet for who else to get but I would much rather Greene than Gray. Gray will not average as well IMO and Greene might play all 22. If he does Greene will be easily in the Top 10 fwds. FWIW Greene's games played since debuting in 2012 are 22, 24, 16, 23, 22, 19. Hardly bad.

Will have to wait and see how Gray is used with Rocky and Motlop arriving if he is plonked in FWD's for long periods you will get some of those low scores I think , Billings looks the goods and you think Greene would have learned about doing those stupid things after this year maybe ? but GWS was going to be this huge force for many years but honestly they keep losing many quality players think it will hurt them next year and maybe Greene's scoring ?

Brave man taking Townsend - snuck in at No 6 in 2017!

He played 2 games and a 6 & 5 goal hauls. For those returns you would have expected a 115+ average.

No Heeney fwds?

[Trindacut]

Will repeat my 2017 strat next year. No long-term port/gcs players at start. Only cashcows if there is any worth getting.

Then try and pick up one or two in rd 11/12

I did that last year and then brought in the wrong ones.

Lobb & NicNat for R1 and R2?

Fantasy Freako‏ @FantasyFreako
Rory Lobb has a HTA rate of 33.6% since 2015 - best of the top 70 hitouts players in the AFL. Lock him into your #SuperCoach side in 2018.

Well I thought he was terrible in the prelim against Richmond and he still scored 129 so you might be onto something

Anyone know what Jack Graham will be worth? Only played the last 2 rounds but I have a feeling that after his finals series SuperCoach will bump up his price

2 games @ 81.5 = 443k

2 games and an average over 60 usually means a 30% discount so that drops it to 310k

But he is in a similar position to Brayden Fiorini from 2016 who played the last two games an averaged 85 odd, SC gave him a 40% discount

So 40% would mean Graham would be 266k

Either way not really a good price would probably only consider him if the rookie situation was diabolical and he got fwd dpp.

This one will hurt most of us for 2018.  Was a certain selection for most teams

Sam Docherty - Ruptured ACL - Likely to miss the 2018 season
