Money Shot 2019 Campaign

60 for watson is optimistic and Cousins could easily go 85+ seen no reason he cant yet

[Mat0369]

Is Watson going to even get a game? Although you can probably just swap him out for one of the other rookies

I like the structure though. I'm thinking something pretty similar, just a mid price ruck if I can find one and a premium forward instead of Greene

[Sven]

DEF: Definitely a risky backline, but playing it safe doesn't win Supercoach. Though, not sure if you'd be wanting to waste so many trades upgrading multiple stepping stones. Trades are gold. Maybe one too many midpricers, but it is the year for them in the backline.

MID: Agree with your comments, its very solid indeed. Maybe too solid, money could be better spent propping up the forward line.

RUC: Good to go.

FWD: Risky going with 3 rookies on field. Yes Setterfield is a lock, but Drew and Balta have only shown us potential in one JLT match. Be very cautious. I'd recommend getting in another premo.

Overall its a risky side, but does have good upside if you pull it off. Good luck!!

You'll need to make a change somewhere

With next to no money left, and 4 cheap def rookies that you're relying on, it's just not going to happen

Easy fix of course, and once you've done that just sit tight like the rest of us and see how this weekend goes

[Money Shot]

Def: Whitfield, Williams, Newman, Smith, Roberton, Clark (Burgess, Hore)
Mid: Cripps, Oliver, Kelly, Fyfe, Neale, Libba, Walsh, Constable (Bewley, Hind, Gibbons)
Ruc: Grundy, Goldy (Fort)
Fwd: Danger, Heeney, Greene, Setterfield, Drew, Balta (Parker, Cavara)
$12,800

Whitfield is as good a chance as any to be a top 6 defender and with all the mid pricers that follow he sures up the line a lot. Williams is locked as I was going to start him last year when he was 80k more and he has shown that he can be a premium. Newman will take over Docherty’s role and be our go to go out of defence. Smith and Roberton are both too cheap to ignore. Clark looks like a ready made player who has good scoring ability. With so many mid pricers this it means I only need to start one defensive rookie which I love.

This is going to be one of the strongest starting mids in the comp and I love it. I have picked who I think will be the top 5 mids come seasons end (I think Macrae will drop back to the pack) I then have Libba who I think will score 100ish and Walsh who could push an 80avg which is insane for a first year player. The remaining 4 mids are the cheapies that look like they have good scoring ability as well as job security.

Grundy/Goldy is now locked in for me as I can’t jusity the extra price tag on Gawn. Having extra cash allowed me to get Fort in who could play round 1 and potentially make some cash if he performs well tonight

Danger/Heeney are obvious choices and Greene who is playing this weekend needs to be locked in. Apart from the 3 I mentioned I can’t find another top end forward that stands out to me so I thought I may as well load up on rookies. Setterfield looks like a solid enough F4 and Drew/Balta have shown good scoring ability so if they can hold there spots up until the byes or there about they will be great picks. Parker/Cavvara also look to have good job security and decent enough scoring ability as well.

Watch List:
McGrath: if he scores well and plays midfield tonight I will be extremely tempted to drop Whitfield too him. If not Newman could swap to him as well.
Mills: similar boat to McGrath

B. Crouch: awkward price but before injuries he was touted to be better than Matt so it’ll be hard to pass him up if he performs well again.
Miles: cooled off him a bit but still on the watch list.

Rucks are locked and loaded

Worpel: want too see how he goes with a stronger hawks side
Moore/Elliot: very unlikely to make my team but will be keeping an eye on them.

Hah, a minute later after I posted

Much better ;)

Sorry mate I wanted to go more in depth with my selections so deleted the post and just reposted it below.

Agree that the backline is super risky but I believe that the top 10 come seasons end will be completely different too this years apart from Lloyd/Laird/Whitfield and I personally think Lloyd will drop right back to the pack. I usually hate selecting mid pricers but in the backline this year I am loading up. McGrath/Mills are very close to replacing Whitfield but even that looks to risky for me.

I’m hoping that my loaded mids can carry the weaker forward line and risky backline for the first few rounds before I start upgrading. I already have one more premium than most so that extra 30 or so points will come in handy early on.

Agree that Drew/Balta need to impress again this weekend but if they do along with Parker/Cavvara I’m backing them in.

Very nice team, identical structure to my own yet plenty of differences in the midfield. See you've managed to squeeze in Libba which would give you some sort of edge. Still unsure which rookie mids I want to start, Walsh at M6 is fine but not sold on the other guys.

Cheers Bully!!! I’m sure most sides in the comp will be starting at least one of Constable, Hind, Bewley, Gibbons and I think there will be plenty starting 2-3 of those guys so I’m not too concerned.

Whitfield, Williams, Smith, Roberton, Clark, Wilkie (Burgess, Hore)
Macrae, Cripps, Oliver, Neale, Coniglio, Dusty, Walsh, Hind (Bewley, Atkins, Gibbons)
Grundy, Goldy (Bines)
Danger, Heeney, Greene, Setterfield, Drew, Balta (Parker, Cavarra)
$2,000

Need round 1 to come already.

Smith and Coniglio have come in as I think Smith will go 90+ and Coniglio will be a top 8 mid.

Brad Crouch is very close to coming into this side but I just don’t know if I see him going 105+ across the whole season.
Matt Crouch and Sloane are also tempting but will they be top 10 mids? I don’t think so.
Laird would be in the team but can’t fit him in due to structure and I don’t see him improving on last year whereas Whitfield could.

Nope I thought my power midfield was good ... you have a better one without compromising rest of the side

[Bully]

Nice side, will burst out of the blocks I think. My only concern would be your limited cash generation in the midfield, but in saying that your points will be pretty good in the first 6-7 rounds.

If I was going to offer one suggestion, that would be Coniglio down to Brad Crouch & Goldy up to Gawn (presuming he's rucking solo).

[RaisyDaisy]

Looking good mate, but I'd probably make a change somewhere just to get some more cash.

The fact that you can't even turn Hind into Constable says you need some more cash haha

Nothing drastic, but you want to be in a position where you can select all the good rookies once Round 1 teams drop, without having to change your structure, and right now you probably will.
