BackPockets 2018

[backpocket]

Gday ladies and gentlemen, back for another year of getting grey hairs and stress levels hitting 100... first draft of my team... rate and hate as usual.

Backline:
Laird, Hibberd, Burton, Birchall, O’Shea, Doedee (Buckley, Richards)

Midfield:
Dangerfield, Ablett, Kelly, Fyfe, Bontempelli, Armitage, Davies-Uniacke, T. Kelly (Higgins, Barry, Holman)

Rucks:
Grundy, Gawn (Cameron)

Forwards:
Heeney, Dahlhaus, Walters, Christensen, Ahern, Keefe (Ryan, Giles-Langdon)

BANK: 5.7k

On cusp of selection: Mitchell, JPK, Johaniesen, Angus Bradyshaw, Lobb (pending DPP adjustment), Billings, Dumont.

Thoughts?

Defence is good with a nice pod in Burton who should at least keep his average and if not improve it.

First 5 midfielders are good selections, Ablett is a worry with injuries but when he plays he should score 110+ comfortably. Armitage may not even be in there best 22 so be careful with him (O'meara/Griffin) could be better selections.

Grundy is a concern with the Cox factor but in saying that is probably the best up and coming ruckman in the comp so I can't fault that pick and he is definitely a better selection that Nic Nat.

Similar to defence, I like the forward line with a nice pod selection in Walters.

--------------------------

Johanisesen and Dumont are the only two I wouldn't consider out of the guys you have mentioned.

Ablett to Mitchell
Birchall to Brayshaw
Dahlhaus to Billings

JPK/Bont is pretty even in my eyes as I rate both highly.

[ubeaut]

I think Grundy,Bont,JPK,Walters and even GAJ (gutsy pick but could pay off   big) are great POD picks.
Not sold on Burton especially with Birchall as well at D3+4
Agree with Billings over Dahl but that would give u 3 prem fwds with R 14 bye which is what makes Walters 50/50 for my team too.(That and Ross Lyon)

I like the team mate,

I like how you're taking a punt with Burton. I dont see how he goes backwards in any way.

I think the Cox effect on Grundy is over rated. Moore will play backline this year so I feel Cox will play majority forward rather than share the ruck role. Grundy has a huge tank, why waste it.

Only aspect of your team that I don't rate is Armo. I'd downgrade to a Dow/Brayshaw/Brodie and utilise the $$

;D

Yeah I agree with arma, really only had him in there as a high price M6 so I can playa round with.
I feel burton will go 95+ playing a fair amount of midfield too. With a lot of defenders back and a lack of skilled mids he will take the pi55

Backline: Laird, Hibberd, Sicily, Bonner, coffield, finlayson ( doedee, Morgan)

Mids: Dangerfield, Kelly, Fyfe, Bontompelli, JP Kennedy, armitage, Dow, LDU ( Kelly, Barry, Holman)

Thoughts.

Think that Armitage to Coniglio might be a good move with that extra cash you have.

like the team though good job.

Thoughts on using cash on armitage to coniglio
Petracca out, Sicily > forward line,
Johaniesen in defense.

Or better off doing,
armitage to coniglio and that’s it.

[Money Shot]

prefer Petracca over Sicily.

Thoughts on Bonner ?

Really like this team as it has some really nice pods in there that are a genuine chance of being top 10 in there position.

Just keep an eye on the round 14 bye.

Tuohy, Beams, Parker and Nank are all good picks in my opinion.

Hopefully no one pick up on it but don’t understand how people are backing nank again considering he did nothing wrong last year is like 24yo do improving and is the only ruck in the team. May not average 100+ but will surely be in the consistent 90-95 area saving cash too. Only iffy player I’m on is Parker atm night go down coniglio and bump beams up to a 600k mid thoughts?

Depends how confident you are in Parker and Beams I like them both as pods personally but think Cogs has way too much value.

Nank didnt finish last year all that well which is putting me and a lot of others off.
