Cardiomegaly SC 2019

[jvalles69]

Time to get back into it!  Team so far, will tinker as I start to do more research, thoughts from the pro's would be greatly appreciated!
Rookies are placeholders for now. ;D

DEF: Laird, Blakely, Williams, Birchall, Kelly, Wigg (Duursma, Jordan)
MID: Mitchell, Cripps, Fyfe, Dusty, Sloane, Viney, Setterfield, Valente (Stocker, McFadyen, Smith)
RUC: Grundy, Gawn (Graham)
FOR: Danger, Heeney, Greene, Lukosious, Hill, Cavarra (Stengle, Mosquito)

Defence looks good. Liking Blakely myself, although fitting him in over or as well as Whitfield is tough.
Mids and rucks are stacked, very strong but I feel it leaves fwds a bit weak, with Greene at F3.
I'd downgrade one of Sloane or Viney to either a rookie or Libba/Miles type and upgrade Lukosious to a premo.

Thanks mate, still early days, but agree my forward line is fairly weak compared to the rest, I think I will eventually move Sloane.

Good looking team JV.   Better value than Viney around and would swap him out and look at Tom Lynch or Josh Kennedy as F3/4 option instead.

[Ringo]

Nice looking team and agree with others Greene at F3 makes your forward line a little week.

Thanks guys, I think when putting Viney in, I actually had Brayshaw in mind.  ???

Version 2.0  Trimmed down my mids and ruck to strengthen my def and for.

Def: Laird, Whitfield, Williams, Collins, Rozee, Wigg (Rooks)
Mid: Mitchell, Cripps, Fyfe, Neale, Merrett, Bennell, Setterfield, Valente (Rooks)
Ruc: Grundy, Kreuz
For: Danger, Westhoff, Smith, Greene, Rook, Rook (Rooks)

Like this team JV.     Do not see need for Westhoff and would have Heeney over him.     Greene is a toss of the dice but will be great value if he stays on the park.   Likewise I see Kruez being my r2 come round 1, 

All the best for 2019.    May need some help from you for my AF team if you can find the time.    Have you posted a team for AF yet?     I still cannot understand the differences required in player selection and trading to be a solid AF Coach.

Second team is extremely well balanced. Some nice pods as well. Good place to start.

Haha, I'm the opposite!  Only started SC a few years ago, to me AF is straightforward.  The scoring system in SC is what I need to get my head around and am definitely improving.  But I haven't even looked at AF yet!  We can trade tips on each end mate!  ;)

With the Tom Mitchell injury news, my team looks soooo much more balanced!

DEF: Laird, Blakely, Newman, Rozee, Collins, Wigg (rook, rook)
MID: Cripps, Fyfe, Neale, Dusty, B. Crouch, Setterfield, Valente, West (rook, rook, rook)
RUC: Grundy, Gawn (rook)
FOR: Dangerfield, Smith, Heeney, Wingard, Hill, Cavarra (rook, rook)

Hey mate!

Pretty solid side.

Think Zwilliams is a must down back though he could be a top 5 defender come seasons end.

In saying that Blakely and Newman are both great picks and should both be decent pods.

Honestly think Newman has just as good of a chance at being a top defender, only room for 1 of them though.

Made a couple more changes in bold.  I really think Brayshaw is underpriced and think he'll be just as good as Oliver less money.  And Greene over Wingard seems better value.

Personally, I prefer Crouch and Wingard.

Yep and I may too closer to the season...chopping and changing is mandatory pre season!  ;D
