Redemption 2018

[enzedder]

It's an interesting set up wato.
Lots of talking points. The seven premo midfield is one I'd love to do. My planning started that way but since then I have tinkered to 6 which appears more balanced. Your 7 are interesting. GAJ and Treloar are the ones that I will avoid. GAJ's injuries, age and games missed put me off and Treloar has been frustrating to own in the past and I'm not in a hurry to do it again.
Not starting Danger is fraught with danger too. Hope you've got a plan to bring him in if he stays at 700k+... then there's the C option you won't have....GAJ better provide you what Danger will to everyone else.
Then there's Lycett at R2.
Maybe we will all have him there by R1 after the JLT, but right now, it's a pick based on hope. At 277k he could prove to be a great stepping stone and it's food for thought, but there's a lot of question marks around WCE's rucks atm. If it doesn't work there's likely going to be a hefty price to pay with trades to get out of the awkward price range he's in to a premium type.

Alright Richitelli is flowered off, however I don’t see him as that bad of a pick. They need some experienced bodies and he is one of them.

DEF: Laird, Hibberd, Lloyd, O’Shea, Doedee, Cumming (Murray, Keefe)
MID: Mitchell, Ablett, Bont, Fyfe, Neale, Beams, Treloar, LDU (Kelly, Worpel, Holman)
RUC: Gawn, Lycett (Cameron)
FWD: Franklin, Billings, Deledio, Christensen, Ahern, Venables (Ryan, Garlett)

I’m absolutely loving the stacked mid structure atm

Couldn't bring myself to even look at Treloar, but aside from that, the stacked mids team looks pretty good.

I'm tempted to have him M5 myself

I'd much rather Adams or Pendles.

I see Conglio better value, so drop Treloar for him and Ablett to cripps and upgrade Lycett and Lids.

Nice midfield. Love the Neale,Bont,GAJ,Beams picks. The last two are injury risks as I'm sure you're aware.
Only problem with this structure is mostly it's the mids that have the most rookies and highest scoring. This year looks no different and I'm doubtful there will be 5 back rookies good enough with 3 on field.
I'd drop Treloar or Beams to a rookie and look to upgrade Lids who looks exposed at F3 and maybe strengthen D4 if necessary.
My first team looked like this with 7 mids and Lycett. Worried that although likely for round one he's one bad game from being dropped for Vardy as WC unlikely to play all of NN,Lycett and Vardy. Darling being mentioned as playing back may change this however.
I'd love to roll with Lice at R2 but need a backup plan and struggling to come up with one that doesn't involve dropping a premium elsewhere and burning two trades, or having 200+k in the bank.
Do you have a backup plan?

Yeah, you're right and hence I have dropped a mid to strengthen other lines. Lycett is a good buy I reckon but with all this fresh news surrounding Goldy, I have to choose him I think. If I was going cheap in rucks I'd go Gawn and Lycett even if NN lines up Round 1. His knees are absolutely fried, no way I'd be taking the risk on him.

Anyway, here's the updated team.

DEF: Laird, Lloyd, Shaw, Hanley, Doedee, Cumming (Murray, Keefe)
MID: Dangerfield, Martin, Ablett, Bont, Fyfe, Beams, LDU, Bailey (Kelly, Worpel, Holman)
RUC: Goldstein, Gawn (Cameron)
FWD: Franklin, Billings, Christensen, Setterfield, Ahern, Venables (Ryan, Garlett)

[eaglesman]

Really like this team! Setterfield been in and out of mine plenty of times

[Money Shot]

good side, Setterfield is a really good choice at his price! Thinking about putting him in my team.

Good side. Forwards a little weak, but given how the forwards are this year thats to be expected. The other lines are all great and more than cover for that as well.

[_wato]

Well Setterfield down injured forces another reshuffle. Danger is just too god damn expensive.

DEF: Laird, Hibberd, Lloyd, Hanley, Doedee, Cumming (Finlayson, Keefe)
MID: Martin, Mitchell, Bont, Fyfe, Beams, O'Meara, Brayshaw, Barry (Kelly, Worpel, Dawson)
RUC: Goldstein, Gawn (Flynn)
FWD: Heeney, Greene, Billings, Christensen, Fritsch, Ahern (Ryan, Garlett)

Think this is the most well rounded side I have produced thus far. Very happy to sit on this team now and wait.

[Money Shot]

Really good side mate well done!!!

Assume that's the Fremantle Brayshaw?

Regardless, good side. Though starting 2 rookies on each line without Danger is a bit concerning, considering many have the same with him in.

[_wato]

Would you rather take DustyTitch/Hibberd/Greene or Danger/Simmo/McLean

[ubeaut]

Depends on what u see them averaging.
115/95/95 vs
130/90/95 ? Option 1 looks better on paper but option 2 has Danger. All depends on him really. I can see him dropping in avg. and price playing fwd more with GAJ coming in. But also see him as still the best mid of the season.
Think we need to bump the Danger or not thread and discuss this more!
