Money Shot 2018

[Money Shot]

My turn to return the favor MS :-)

I actually like your 2-march team with Sicily for Tuohy the best. And if you can then do maybe Cripps to Kelly (the GWS variety). That would be about the best Mid line I've seen, maybe lite on in Def but still Ok in Fwd.

I wouldn't be too worried about the byes. Bundy for instance I think you might get rid of him by R13.

Anyway Good luck with it. I'm sure there will be a couple more versions after JLT2  :)

Thanks mate, I looked into Tuohy a little bit more and just don't see how he will get points with Duncan, Selwood, Ablett, Danger, Smith, Menegola etc which is why I have upgraded too Simpson who is just a sure thing for a 90-95 average with the perfect bye.

Laird, Hibberd, Simpson, C. Ellis, Doedee, Finlayson (Keefe, Goddard)
Danger, Martin, Titch, Fyfe, Cripps, Coniglio, O'meara, Barry (Kelly, Worpel, Holman)
Goldy, Gawn (Olango)
Smith, Petracca, Sicily, Bundy, Venables, Fritsch (Garlett, Ryan)
100k cash left

round 12: Simpson, Titch, Cripps, O'meara
round 13: Hibberd, Coniglio, Goldy, Gawn, Smith, Petracca, Bundy
round 14: Laird, Danger, Martin, Fyfe

Simpson could become Yeo/Hurley
not set on F1-F3 but see plenty of upside in all 3 picks with not much downside.

Solid everywhere except maybe fwds.
That midfield is awesome.
Is that 100k u have left or 1k? If 100k I would upgrade Petracca to Billings/Heeney. Just think u need a more solid top 6 fwd chance as Smith,Sicily and Petracca all together too risky and taking 3 spots. Would balance bye players too.

It is 100k which means I can go Petracca to Heeney if need be but would rather wait and see.

Simpson to Yeo/Hurley is something I am considering for a little bit extra piece of mind.

F1-F3 could become anyone of Walters, Billings, Greene, Heeney.

Hurley's last 39 games have been outstanding, 22 tons & a further 11 games over 80. This type of consistency tells me he might be tough to get in at a later stage.

Simmo on the other hand can string a few dud performances together, only 7 tons last year. Probably flattered a bit by his 148 & 142.

[Southstorm]

Hartley and Ambrose are both fit at the moment so Hurley will be picking up where he left off. It's only when he needs to play more defensively man-on-man that his scoring suffers.

Really interesting points, will investigate more.

Smith, Petracca, Sicily, Christensen, Venables, Fritsch (Garlett, Ryan)
$35,000

Really starting to like the look of this team. Forward line is weak but with me not really confident on any of the top picks at this stage Spending 100k less on F1-F3 allows me to make the rest of my team really solid.

Round 12: Mitchell, Cripps, O'meara, Sicily
Round 13: Hurley, Hibberd, Coniglio, Goldy, Gawn, Smith, Petracca
Round 14: Laird, Danger, Martin, Fyfe

Really happy with the bye set up as it gives me some breathing room around the round 14 bye. Round 13 will be tough but I think I will be able to manage.

One thing that my team doesn't have at the moment is a floating donut as Cameron could see plenty of games early with Naismith out for the season.

I said this earlier but upgrading Petracca to Heeney/Billings gives u a more reliable F1 and helps even bye players out.
Maybe if C.Ellis isn't named or looks like JS is shaky and enough rookies are named u could get the cash there.
Otherwise looks great. Hurley/Hibberd/Laird is a strong backline combo.

Yep I do agree with you but I can't get every player I wan't sadly and think the forward line is a lottery this year and think Smith, Petracca and Sicily are all a good chance to got 90+ and be in the top 10 forwards.

Ellis I will be watching very closlely tonight and if he doesn't perform he will be straightswapped for Byrne or downgraded to Coffield. The downgrade to Coffield would allow me to turn Petracca into Heeney with not tooooo much swapping around of other players.

Thanks for your thoughts though and they have been noted.

[Bully]

Ellis comes with the same risk as a rookie, Rioli due back soon, Broad back from suspension, Conca fit and best 22. Will need to perform strongly every week.

I'd be going Ellis down to Coffield/Naughton, Petracca up to Billings.

That move is defintely on the cards.

As mentioned, upgrading Petracca is a must. Only averaged 89 when he collected more than 20 possessions last year.

I think your forward line is way too fragile, 4 guys who'll probably average at the lower end of the 50's, plus only trust JS of fritsch given his 1 on 1 capabilities.

I think he could turn into a pure midfielder this season and go 90-95 which would be a good return but in saying that my forward line is way to weak.

Although I love having an O'meara/Armitage type and M7 it compromises the rest of my team.

Hurley, Laird, Hibberd, Coffield, Doedee, Finlayson (Murray, Murphy)
Danger, Dusty, Titch, Fyfe, Cripps, Coniglio, Banfield, Barry (Kelly, Worpel, Holman)
Goldy, Gawn (Cameron)
Heeney, Greene, Billings, Bundy, Venables, Fritsch (Garlett, Ryan)
$4,000

Finally happy with my team with 13 players who I see being top 10 in there position with Coniglio being a M8 keeper and Bundy as well. 14 true keepers.

Round 12: Mitchell, Cripps
Round 13: Hurley, Hibberd, Coniglio, Goldy, Gawn, Greene, Bundy
Round 14: Laird, Danger, Dusty, Fyfe, Heeney, Billings

Good spread on the byes just need to target Carlton, Hawthorn, Bull dogs and eagles players early which I think I can.

Really happy with this team and think it could be very close to what I line up with for round 1.

[Bully]

I think I will be dumping all the mid pricers too, just can't seem to get the balance right. The 3 rookies in defence is the way to go, not overly keen on F5 exposed liked that but something has to give if you want Dusty & TMitch.

Cripps & Coniglio will be a weak M7 & M8 IMO. I would only want to carry one of those guys.
