The New Jukes ~ Vacant

[essendon2]

Jukes has gone on "holiday" and as we all know, he was the 'go to' man for getting a rating on your team. I know how much I love getting my team rated, then getting another rating after a few changes too!

So I'm not here to replace him, just simply fill in for a while!

I'll keep a similar rating system and I'll make sure there's no bias or indifferences between teams..

"Post your team if you want me to provide detailed feedback on it."

So go ahead and start posting 8)


Here's an example of my rating process:

(My Team)

Brendon Goddard, Jack Grimes, Bryce Gibbs, Brent Staker, Brett Goodes, Jackson Thurlow
Sam Docherty, Dean Terlich

Dane Swan, Gary Ablett, Scott Pendlebury, Jack Redden, Andrew Embley, Kane Mitchell, Jaeger O'Meara, Nathan Hrovat
Jack Viney, Matt Jones

Ben McEvoy, Matthew Leuenberger
Jarrod Witts, Craig Moller

Dean Cox, Tom Rockliff, Mitch Robinson, Nick Riewoldt, Matthew Wright, Colin Sylvia
Brent Staker, Tom Lee


Feedback:

DEF: Only 3 Guns, but you've got the 3 G's, a big tick! 8.25/10

MID: 4 guns that'll be in the top 8 by the seasons' end and will all average 110+! Embley will average 85+, big lock. 9/10

RUC: Like the inclusion of McEvoy, especially with his dream start - GWS, Richmond and GC in his first 3 rounds. Witts!!! 8.5/10

FWD: Rocky, Robbo and Cox will all go 100+. Sylvia and Wright definitely have the potential to average 95+. Love the inclusion of NRoo, like McEvoy, has a dream start and should earn you some $$$ early on. 9.75/10

Overall: A really well balanced team, a few nice POD's in, Redden, McEvoy, NRoo, Wright and Sylvia! 35.5/40

CASH LEFT: $173,600

DEF: A really solid backline, I think 4 guns is the way to go here, especially because DEF rooks are known for their low scores. Goddard and Gibbs are both locks, I like the inclusion of Hanley - he has a dream draw. Broughton is the only concern here, high risk/high reward = he could go 95+, or flop and average 80-85. 8.75/10

MID: 4 Guns + Fyfe + Embley - it's different and could work really well. I don't really like Stanton, I had him for the second half of last year and he really frustrated me, maybe with the extra $$$ you could go Stanton --> Pendles/Jobe/Swan. Love the inclusions of Murphy and Redden, they both should go 110+ 9/10

RUC: Stock standard. Goldy is a bit of a risk, but a lot of FF coaches have picked him. Just with your bench, Witts is actually the most likely looking of playing Round 1, as he's killing pre-season and allegedly consistently beating Jolly in contests! 8/10

FWD: 4 guns + 2 rooks is a pretty good look here, 5 is probably the way to go, however, such a strong midfield definitely makes up for it! I like the unique pick of Zorko, I don't think second year blues will worry him too much as he did average 99 if you exclude his sub affected game. Just a note, Daniher has just returned to full strength training as he was still recovering from minor surgery. He won't score too well as he is a KPP. Maybe bring Mayes into the FWD line and bring in K. Mitchell from PA. 8.25

Overall: Thoroughly like the team, makes me wonder how you have so much $$$ left over! 34/40

fellas we might want to stop posting teams so he can catch up on them, talking from personal experience

[essendon2]

who is your fav dons player though essendon2??

B- Gibbs, Birchall, Heppell, Hartlett, Golby, Rookies
M- GAJ, Beams, Watson, Cotchin, Varcoe, Rookies
R- Goldy, Berger, Rookies
F- Cox, Robbo, JROO, Zorko, Rookies

let's just say I cried when Jobe won the Brownlow  ::)

DEF: Very different DEF to most teams. I obvioiusly like Gibbs - Heppell and Hartlett definitely are likely to go 90+. Hmm, Birchall is a risky one, he was very consistent during the year, however, when he did come against the top 4 teams, he was tagged and definitely struggled. IMO you should have two of the 3 G's (Goddard, Gibbs, Grimes). Golby was one of the mid-price options last year, I'm unsure why you've picked him this year, I think Watts or Pearce may be better options? 8.25/10

MID: GAJ, Beams, Watson, Cotch - 4 uber guns, that'll all be in the top 8 by the season's end. Love it. I love the pick of Jobe, no one is picking him this year and it's frustrating me! Without his last 3 games last year he averaged 115, and with Essendon on the rise, he can easily raise it. 9/10

RUC: Stock standard. As I said in my first preview, Goldy is a bit risky though. 8/10

FWD: Cox and Robbo! Love the pair and both should average 100. I also love the pick of Zorko, I can't believe I didn't have him last year  :'( JRoo is a massive risk, I had him a few years back when he was scoring consistently, however, last year he went back to the usual KPP scoring status. But, with Richmond improving I think he could gain you some $$$, however I just don't think he'll be in the top 8 by seasons' end. One other thing, your FWD line does look a bit weak without Rocky - he certainly does have the potential to average 110+ 7.75/10

Overall: I do like the look of the team, quite a lot of PODS in Birchall, Hartlett, Golby, Watson and JRoo. They could all go BANG, but there'll always be some flower that flops. 33/40

I think I had 5k left...

DEF: All the G's + Hartlett + 2 jet rooks. Can't fault. 9.25/10

MID: Also love it. I can see Murphy + Redden both going 110+. Pendles and GAJ are absolute guns and will provide you with some massive scores. I'm just a tad iffy on Cotchin, I'm not sure why, probably because he's only had the 1 season above 110. I'm sure he'll live up to all the expectations and fire - but he's an upgrade target for me. 9.25/10

RUC: Stock standard. Go Daw --> Currie and Grundy --> Witts, as they're more likely to play Round 1. 8/10

FWD: Your 4 guns will all average 95+, maybe even 100+ - Stevie Jay is inconsistent, that won't change and he does have a tough pre-bye draw but I still like the choice. Knights is a good pick as he has huge potential, just watch his NAB Cup. Not sure on Macaffer's JS atm but should average 60-70 if he plays. 8.75/10

Overall: Love the team mate, one of the best I've seen around! Would love to see Swan in that MID, but from the looks of the rest of the team.. No Swan, No Worries 35.25/40

[Capper]

let's just say I cried when Jobe won the Brownlow  ::)

better credentials than Jukes which is good

[Justin Bieber]

Hmm I see Grundy a better chance to play rd1 than Witts. Daw was spectulation.
