Redemption 2018

[Money Shot]

Really like the team mate. Good job as always (well maybe not last season ;)) mate.

[Peter]

Really think you have to have Martin over Pendles, because he gets his points early in the game and Richmond then look for him. I think Pendles will be 105-110 av with Treloar, Adams, Sidey, Wells, Maynard taking mid ground time; whilst Martin is 115-130av

DEF: Hibberd, Z Williams, Lloyd, Birchall, Richards, Doedee (Murray, Cumming)
MID: Mitchell, Ablett, Bont, Fyfe, Cripps, Beams, LDU, Garlett (Kelly, Worpel, Barry)
RUC: Gawn, Naitanui (McInerney)
FWD: Heeney, Billings, Barlow, Ah Chee, Bennell, Higgins (Ahern, Venables)

Easily my favourite team I've done so far. Ablett in the mids from what Scott is saying is getting me excited as $730k for Danger playing loads of time up forward isn't really my taste. Got Titch in (can change with Dusty but would rather Titch) and removed Laird who will cop a fair whack of attention plus point sharing. Barlow makes his way in for Coniglio but up forward as I think he's a true keeper in that position vs Coniglio who I see going 100-105 and an outside 20 mid. Good amount of POD's but guys who I see as being true premiums (top few in their position) for this year.

I would have Dangers durability and scoring over the old version of Gaz with all his injuries over the last couple of years without hesitation plus never believe what coaches sprout on about preseason :D

[Money Shot]

I like everything about this team accept for having Ablett over Danger. Although I would never start without Danger I can see why you are but surely Martin or Merrett are more viable choices over Gaz? Yes he could average 140 over the first few rounds but he will miss games whether it be through injury or through being rested.

I want to be picking premiums that I see playing 20+ games comfortably and Gaz is not that.

[Peter]

You know Gaz won’t play 22 and Beams hasn’t either. Same logic for leaving both out?

Very nice team imo.
Favourite iv seen so far.

Beams is a scoring monster, went on a rampage late last year, Rocky's gone, Zorks surely draws more attention this year.
Played 19 last year, with no hiccups in the preseason if Beams is ever going to crack a 22 game season this is the year, i am
backing him in, more likely to reach 115 than Cripps.

It's the same scenario as Rocky last year, IF you stick to a plan of trading him straight away when injured
and he starts the year on fire he is the kind of player that could hurt others who don't have him and get you that jump start,
i can see value in the strategy.

That's fair enough. Worst case scenario is he plays 3 games gets rested plays 3 games gets rested etc which means you may be inclined to hold him even though he might only play 16-18 games. However, that scenario is very unlikely.

Pendles is SC royalty NZ, never doubt him. However I'm keen on my man Cripps so went Pendles to him.

It feels like Pendlebury has been in my SC team since the 90s haha.
After last year though he seems more like Prince Philip than any other royal.
Cripps is more appealing atm... out with the old in with the new.

Agreed.  Think Cripps will go mental this season too.

[Peter]

If Cripps plays the role being spoken about pre-Xmas (playing more forward a la Dusty), he should get to 110 average and make $200k cash. The problem with getting any higher imo is that Carlton won’t win many games.

Poor sides don't tend to affect the better player, think GAJ, Murph/Doch last year, Zorko, Beams etc.

[Peter]

Fair enough, let’s hope no injuries for Cripps

Nah if he gets rested within the first 5-6 games trade him.
