Carn 2020

[Carn]

First shot at it for 2020:

Laird Doc Ash Noble Zerk Young
(Brander Watson)

Macrae Neale Titch Oliver Danger
Rowell Green Pickett
(Sharp Robertson Budrick)

Grundy Gawn TDK)

Whitfield Martin Parish D.Smith
Georgeardis Taylor
(Xerri King)

13 possible keepers
I am embracing the lack of FWD and MID rookies and loading up on def.
Is it to light up at the back?

[RoughRed]

IMO opinion a little light in DEF and Ash is a maybe to play round one
You have cover (i think) in Brander off the bench but $193.8K is a lot to pay for a bench sitting rook if Ash does not get up

I do not disagree with Whitfield as a top forward but again a lot of $ - I would be looking at Whitfield =>Steven (+242.4K) and Ash => Rivers (+76.5K) add one well priced demi-prem defender with the extra $318.9K
Noble => Houston? Daniel?

Reckon that would give you 14 possible keepers too!

That said IMO You should get a full R1 team with what you have - good luck

[jbjimmyjb]

Big fan, almost identical team to mine, but I just have Cripps instead of Danger and Ceglar instead of Parish.

So obviously I rate it highly!  ;D

[Colliwobblers]

Roberton in def is a cheap way to strengthen it also if your willing to take the cash from a premo somewhere else.

I have ash would like it a cheaper rook starts but he's one of the more likely.

Mids, Rucks, Fwds all look good, can't have everything :)

[LordSneeze]

The more I look the more I don't like Doc as a D2. I totally expect him to be a prem, but as a D3 being a rookie or Roberton type, I just feel you will end up playing rookies who you don't want to as its almost inevitable that some will be dropped.

[Carn]

Ok hear ya guys:


Laird Doc Robbo Noble Zerk Brander
(Starvich Williams*)

Macrae Kelly Cripps Titch Bont Rowell Green Pickett
(Brown Robertson” Budrick)

Grundy Gawn (Cameron*)

Whitfield Martin Ceglar D.Smith Taylor Davis
(Sturt King)

Pretty guns and rookies. Hoping the 2 round rookie rises will help me cycle through rookies.

Starting with 3 non-playing rookies not ideal.
Does Robbo, Ceglar and D.smith get to top 6?

[Carn]

R2: 2145
Rank: 19k
Trades: 28

Rd 2 Trades:
Bont to Viney
Roberton to Howe

Pretty avg start. Premos not performing.

Laird Doc Howe Noble Zerk Brander
(Starvich Connor)
Macrae Kelly Cripps Titch Viney Rowell Pickett McInerney
(Brown Green Budrick)
Grundy Gawn (Cameron)
Whitfield Martin Ceglar D.Smith Taylor King
(Georgiades Davis)

R3 trades
Davis to Sturt
Green to Bennel
Connor to Rivers

Which 2 should I do?

[Ringo]

Based on B/es and the fact that Bennell is still not spending a lot of TOG i would leave that trade to next week. Both Rivers and Sturt are anticipated to rise more than Bennell.   Bennel only predicted to rise $26k so still affordable next week.

If Sturt out for another week makes decision easy.

[Carn]

R3: 1690
Rank: 40k
Trades: 26

Rd 3 Trades:
O’Connor to Rivers
Green to Bennel

Smashed by the Melb v Ess game.
Best 18 sucked for me. C on gawn, 3 premos, 3 rookies all out plus Whitfield, Martin & Kelly.

Laird Doc Howe Noble Brander Starvich
(BZT Rivers)
Macrae Kelly Cripps Titch Viney Rowell Pickett McInerney
(Brown Green Budrick)
Grundy Gawn (Cameron)
Whitfield Martin Ceglar D.Smith Taylor King
(Georgiades Davis)

R3 trades?
Brown > McHerny
Kelly > Neale
Or
Martin > Pertacca
Kelly > Neale
Or
Skip Neale
Kelly > Gaff

[Ringo]

Do you have enough if you do Davis to Hamill via brander and Kelly to Neale instead of Brown to McHenry Brown still has a -11 BE so would try and keep if possible.

By the way who is the other defender with Starc listed twice,

I need 120k to go Kelly to Neale and only 50k bank, so I need to generate 70k just to get Neale.
I am 5k short of BZT > Hamill, Kelly to Neale. Do I just grab Fyfe?

I know Brown has more to make but I can't swing it any other way. How important is Neale? worth cutting a rookie early?

[Ringo]

Biased as a Brisbane supporter as you know but in my opinion Neale is a must and as he continurs to rise will soon be priced out. S0 I would do all to get him this week as he will rise another 30k with a score of 130+.

[Carn]

Season is a train wreak. Going to back in premos and hope neale gets some tags. Can’t bring him in at an avg. of 140.
Will grab some rookies this week for cash gen and hope neale and fyfe fall back to the pack.

[Carn]

R3: 2146

Rd 4 Trades:
BTZ > Hamill
Georgedis > Hill

Hurts to skip neale but will have fingers crossed for the next few weeks.

R4 trades?
Thinking
Howe > Haynes/Daniel
Vinney > Bont/Danger/Oliver

Current thoughts
Howe>Daniel
Vinney>Bont

That is 3 premis from the dogs. Is this stupid?
