Points of Difference (POD's)

[Hawka]

I thought Worp was gonna be a POD but in 20% of teammss
So many mids with a chance of being a POD though finding it hard early on to pick the right premos in the mid so outside of Cripps,Macrae etc its a mixed bag

[RaisyDaisy]

Most teams I've been coming up with for myself generally have 13 keepers, with 1 or 2 mid price guys

Well, I decided to see what a POD team would look like

- All premium selections have current ownership of 10% or less
- Rookies are exempt from being POD (for obvious reasons)

15 keepers

Nothing wrong with that team! Except Gaff wont be in until rd 3 :(

[AaronKirk]

Maybe i'm just very biased but is there anything wrong with starting Dylan Shiel at $487k?

[AaronKirk]

Only 1 season of Shiel being 100+ average would be a concern but in a new environment hopefully getting his shoulders better currently in my side.

Oh yeah lol. Ah well he can be replaced by Conigs, Duncan, Bont etc

It's a decent looking side for sure, but not having any of Macrae, Cripps, Fyfe, Grundy, Gawn, Danger, Lloyd, Laird is way too risky haha

Disposal efficiency has always been kinda bleh. Clanger numbers have gone up resulting in the drop off as well. He is a nice piece for the Bombers midfield, but I wouldn't think he is SC relevant. He may help Heppell/Merrett more if he does draw a tag but I wouldn't jump on board.

Given the best kicking efficiency of the 3 gun mids is Zerrett and has shown an inability to cope with a tag I'd think he'd be the first tagged which IMO makes Shiel potentially an attractive option.

I'd prefer to go Zerrett, bounce back year, more help, and seemed to figure out how to break the tag in the 2nd half of last year.

+1 for Zerrett

Taylor Adams 524k, right now my best POD...
- Finish to 2018 was clinical and would have him a top 10 mid with ease.
- Less likely to be moved from the midfield that all other Collingwood player mid with beams inclusion (lacks goal kicking power)
- Easily our most important midfielder.
- As far as I know full pre season thus far.

Thoughts?

This, Adams is a gun in a gun team. A few years ago Daisy, Pendles, Sidebum, Swan and Beams were all top tier SC scorers.

Only difference is this year  Grundy is in the mix and Daisy is out.

Pendles potentially drops in output this year, I can see Adams being a good selection and am strongly considering Adams to get off the leash

A few years ago everyone had Enright, Ablett, Selwood, Bartel, Kelly & Chappy in their sights from the 1 team

Any thoughts on Jordan De Goey ?
Love watching him play and see building on last year
POD but the price??

Like Hurley … a few other players have had an interrupted pre season such as Franks, Zerrett & Treloar...players you have coughed up for

Im never going Franks again even if he scores 150+ for the first 5 rounds

You have to give yourself the best possible chance to pick the best

Those that have interrupted pre seasons are not going to be as fit and focussed as those that have been working hard since September to be someone

Its the little 1%ers that count not just for players ,  but supercoaches as well to give yourself the best possible chance at success

Ive played some footy back in the day and a full pre season going into rd 1 gives you a massive edge over those that havnt

Modified programme
Will potentially score less due to relatively healthy list and addition of Beams...….

Expect him to slay fwd most of the year

If he had a full pre season Id be there, the fellah is all class and wouldnt surprise me to increase output but is a big gamble IMO

Imo would stay away, will probably spend more time FWD this season.
