Nige's SC Campaign 2018

[ubeaut]

Solid structure. If not many back rookies get up this will be a popular one.
Only thing I can fault is two unknowns in Witherden and McGrath at D3 + 4. You'd hate to have them both go 80 odd.  Not enough for keepers but too good to be a high priority trade.

[SilverLion]

Made a quick but kinda significant update by opting to get Will Brodie and field 3 rookies in the middle.

Other changes include going both Bundy and Arch in the forwards and grabbing Pig Hibberd down back.

Oh, and the forum's favourite midfielder is back in too.

That's almost my forward line :o

In all seriousness though, great side, very similarly structured to mine with the minor difference that I have an extra prem mid, but you have Ah Chee as F5.

[Ringo]

Know you are not worried about byes but need to consider when upgrading as you have 7 prems out in Rd 14.

Nice structure though and only real concern is as has been said both Withers and McGrath a risk carrying both but you would be the one laughing if both come off,

[enzedder]

Premo choices look good to me.

A lot's changed over the weeks and months but the premo choices still look good to me.  :)

After all Beams has put you through you should know that he's unreliable by now.

You would think that I would learn by now, but there's just too much appeal.  :(

The team is changing every second day at this point when I have a brand new idea or find myself bored and wanting something to do.

This is the 'break glass in case of emergency' team in case Rory Lobb doesn't get up because I'm almost certainly picking him if he's named Round 1.

In his place is Rhys Mathieson. I'm a big fan of the boy and with Rocky gone, he'll be spending most of his minutes in the middle and can get forward to score goals too. He's also shown that when he does spend bulk minutes in the midfield, he scores well. For a slightly higher price, I could maybe get a Mitch Robinson type who also looks good, but I may as well bank the 6k difference.

Hibberd has joined my defence but if I cool on him, Heater's likely the man to replace him. Brandon Ellis and Dylan Roberton are also options, as are Bachar Houli and Alex Rance. Hibberd being as expensive as he is means that I know I'm saving cash if I decided to turn him into one of the other names listed.

Finally brought in Tom Mitchell which makes my midfield look a lot nicer since I'm still planning to go Danger-less at this stage. I like Oliver, Kelly and then guys like Bont and Cripps to a lesser extent.

A couple of options I have are:

a) If I want Danger, I can go Conigs to Griffen and Titch to Danger. Conigs to Brodie/Dow etc works as well.
b) Can also go Matho to Ah Chee and save like 150k-ish, that also turns Conigs into a Cripps or Bont type.
c) Probably the most drastic change I could make is Hibberd down to somebody in the 400-500k bracket, Matho to Ah Chee and Conigs up to Danger. It wouldn't leave me much, if any cash, but then I could just go Titch to one of the other slightly cheaper mids I mentioned (Oliver, Kelly, Bont, Cripps)

Definitely a no from me with Matho, 1 ton in 24 games doesn't convince me. Sicily a better bet.

Agree with this, although I like your team I am not convinced on Matho, Stringer, Petrecca, Smith etc all better options in that price range.

Fair enough lads.

Not that interested in Stringer, but Tracca and Dev are certainly options as well. De Goey was being considered until his recent issue and as stated above, Lobb is my preferred option. Mitch Robbo is also the other serious contender.

Sicily the best of the lot, averaged 92 once switched to defence, you could then link him up with Keeffe for extra cover on both lines. Lobb would be good but is looking really doubtful and hasn't joined the main group yet.

I'm not as into Sicily as others are, but I see the merit in the selection. I'll give it some thought but I'm not too sure he'll maintain that scoring.

Probably the final update before Round 1 teams drop as I'm pretty happy with what I've got here.

Also forgive the laziness, but I couldn't be arsed with a screeny so here's the team in text form.  :P

Rory Laird, Michael Hibberd, Alex Witherden, Andrew McGrath, Aaron Naughton, Tom Doedee (Sam Murray, Jeremy Finlayson)
Dustin Martin, Tom Mitchell, Nat Fyfe, Dayne Beams, Stephen Coniglio, Tom Liberatore, Andrew Brayshaw, Tim Kelly (Bailey Banfield, Dom Barry, Nick Holman)
Max Gawn, Toby Nankervis (Scott Jones)
Jack Billings, Toby McLean, Josh Caddy, Rory Lobb, Jaidyn Stephenson, Bayley Fritsch (Jarrod Garlett, Zac Langdon)

Love thoughts as always, happy to explain anything.
