benjy251090's Supercoach Team Ideas 2011 V2

[benjy251090]

I got rid of the old one and made a new team. This time I am going to give reasonings behind all my players:

Backs:

Luke Hodge: Complete Utility. Tackles a lot and has one of the most accurate kicks in the game. Can play as both an inside and outside player and drops back into the hole, getting marks from opposition kicks. Also is MPP for MID/BAC which will be handy.

Brett Deledio: Built for Supercoach. Average dropped by 2 points this year but he is very consistent around the 90-100 mark. Played off Half-Back often so will gain MPP for MID/BAC which will be handy.

James Kelly: With GAJ going should get more Midfield time. Also increased his average by 10ppg and I assume he will increase his average again, but unsure as to how much. Also is MPP for MID/BAC which will be handy.

Lindsay Gilbee: Built for Supercoach. Played off Half-Back but occassionally in the mids. Runs through the midfield with his accurate left boot. MPP for MID/BAC which will be handy.

Sam Gilbert: Fairly consitent around the 90-100 mark. Unfortunately clangered a bit in 2010 as well as getting a forward tag but racks up posessions and gets a lot of marks from opposition kicks.

Andy Otten: Plays a Bock role which he should keep now, especially now that Bock has gone North. It would have been his 3rd year this year but for a knee injury pre-season ruling him out. With a 40 or 50% discount looming, will be at a tasty price and may get Midfield time with all the retirings at the Crows.

Rookies: My last four spots are going to be rookies. The rookies I have at the moment are; Sam Iles, Tendai Mzungu, Cameron Richardson and Daniel Talia. Out of those, Richardson and Talia are most likely to stay, with Brad Scott saying that Richardson is likely to "Make an immediate impact" and Talia being useful in that he is MPP for FWD/BAC. Other rookies apart from them that I am looking at are; Josh Toy, Dylan Grimes, Jordan Lisle, Karmichael Hunt, Michael Coad and Xavier Clarke.

Mids:

Brendon Goddard: Complete Utility. Tackles a lot and has one of the most accurate kicks in the game. Can play as both an inside and outside player and drops back into the hole, getting marks from opposition kicks. Was the number one averaged player for 2010. Also is MPP for MID/BAC which will be handy.

Chris Judd: The engine room at The Blues as well as the AFL's Brownlow Medalist. Often gets tagged but has the ability to shake it. Wins his own ball and nine times out of ten uses it well.

Kieran Jack: The young Swan had a breakout year in 2010, increasing his average by 33ppg. He was playing a tagging role most of the year but towards the end he was released from that and was left to win his own ball which he did to damaging effect.

Daniel Harris: The former Roo is now captain of the Gold Coast. In his last season in 2009 he averaged 74 over 10 games and at just over 200K, he is at a good price. Will be there mainly to make money unless he averages good enough to keep all season.

Rookies: My last five spots are going to be rookies. The rookies I have at the moment are; David Swallow, Andrew Gaff, Myles Sewell, Andrew Krakouer and Dylan McNeil. Out of those, Swallow and Sewell are the only two I will be likely to stay, with Swallow likely to be the number one draft pick and Sewell doing well for the last few years in the VFL so could be the next Barlow. Other rookies apart from them that I am looking at are; Tom Liberatore, Xavier Clarke, Mitchell Wallis, Dyson Heppell, Mitch Hallahan, Ben Newton, Kieran Harper, Joel Wilkinson, Josh Caddy, Luke Parker, Jayden Pitt, Brodie Smith, Jared Polek, Shaun Atley and Harley Bennell.

Rucks:

Aaron Sandilands: Standing at 211cms tall, he is easily the tallest player in the competition. He gets a lot of tapouts, mainly to advantage. Also goes forward and kicks goals, as well as getting many contested marks. Number one averaging ruck for 2010 so is a no brainer.

Patrick Ryder: Very versatile. Can play back, forward and ruck. Very consistently scoring 80-90. Hopefully he can take the average up to 90-100 next year.

Rookies: I will most likely be getting both Zac Smith and Majak Daw, and that will be very unlikey to change, unless Smith is injured preseason and then it will be another playing rookie.

Forwards:

Nick Riewoldt: Best power forward of the past few years. Will be at a good price due to his 25 when he got injured in Round 3. Is a no-brainer and should be in all teams.

Alan Didak: Very consistent. Runs through the midfield and goes forward and kicks goals as well. Sometimes cops a tag but handles it ok. Very accurate kick and is an X-Factor player. He is also MPP for MID/FWD.

Cyril Rioli: If this 'delicious' young player gets a full preseason, he will be unstoppable. He has a high scoring ceiling and is a real X-Factor. Should get more Midfield as he grows a bigger tank.

Mark LeCras: The forward has been promised more Midfield time but seems to do alright off Half-Forward and as a lead up player, kicking twelve goals and 200 and something point game against the Bombers so has ability to do well but needs to do it consistently.

Ricky Petterd: Started the season well in the few games he played as a lead up forward. Increased his average by almost 20ppg. I am hoping he increases his average again in an improving Demons team. He is also MPP for MID/FWD.

Drew Petrie: He has been a solid, consistent player for years for the Roos. At his price and with his MPP for RUC/FWD he will be in almost everyone's team as well.

Rookies: My last four spots are going to be rookies. The rookies I have at the moment are; Jack Darling, John Butcher, Brandon Matera and Bryce Retzlaff. Out of those, Butcher and Matera are most likely to stay. Other rookies apart from them that I am looking at are; Andrew Hooper, Derick Wanganeen, Myles Pitt, Declan Bevan, Tom Hill, Craig Evans, Darcy Barden, Jarrod Ninyette, Thomas Lynch, Steven May, Charlie Dixon, Chaz Sergeant, Luke Mitchell, Jed Lamb, Lucas Cook, Billie Smedts and Shaun McKernan.

Overall:

This team is worth $9,803,500, with $196,500 left over. Criticism wanted :)

There is also at least one player from each team and have MPP linking each line except BAC/RUC.

nice Benjy i like: Gilbee he is cheap and i think he has figured out how to deal with a Forward tag. Petterd and LeCras, risky but will pay off IMO LeCras will be heavilly involved in the midfield this year as you said, and Petterd will be a Key postion forward that will swap with Sylvia into the midfield at times.

My thoughts- A.Gaff will be a great rookie to have favoured to go to WCE and WCE will play the youngsters he also reminds me of a young JUDD

Thanks MTTY, I have seen Gaff in a few teams but havent heard much about him. I really, really like this team, the only non-rookie I may change is Petterd to Hurley if Petterd is too much, but unfortunately that will mean there will be no Melbourne players in my team at the start :S but I really like this team, especially with my leftover bank account :)

Yeah it's an awesome team especially like the backs all running backs except Gilbert but from what i saw in the GF's could be used as a forward at times ;)

9.5 depending on the rookies but after NAB it will probably turn into a 10 cause there is a lot of talent in this draft

I think Judd will be a good pick again i think this year Judd, Murphy and Gibbs will be like the Ablett, Bartel and Selwood combination. Judd-Selwood hard ball getters, Murphy-Ablett used quite a bit across half forward and Gibbs-Bartel More off the half back and huge amount of tackles per game

Yeah, I agree, only on a lesser degree to how good the Geelong boys were. I only chose Judd because I needed a Blues player.

I went with Murphy i think he is worth a fair bit more then his current price and will have a really good year.

But seeing I have the money I thought Judd seems like a better option :P

Yeah a lot more consistent and can handlea tag haven't really seen Murphy with one, probably cause they tag Judd then Gibbs

[Maca24]

nice benjy good strong backs and rucks.
great team i think gilbee could have a good year with harbrow gone, hopefully he can deal with a tag better. gilbert im not to sure about but still a premium none the less. i also like teh rookies you are considering in all positions nice work good to see you've done your research.
Get lecras out and gilbert to broughton and ill give it a 9.5  :)

[bomberboy0618]

Wat an awesome team :D wat are your views on cameron richardon Tom lynch (draftee) and Sam day

Yeah, that is my thought, why not go the more experienced, better averaging player if you can afford them, still tossing up between Jack and Swan though, but I think Jack will increase his average next season by quite a bit

Thanks Maca, I was contemplating Gia up front rather than LeCras, and I think Broughton misses too many matches, but I will consider him strongly

BB, Cam Richardson could be either a Barlow or a Gumby, depending if he is a running back or a tall back. Tom Lynch, havent heard much about him but I am willing to watch any rookies. Sam Day will depend on if he is FWD/RUC, FWD or RUC, but could be good
