tbags assorted rocks

tbagrocks · January 22, 2013, 03:10:47 PM

This will be my first full year of SuperCoach having only joined before round three last year, cruised to a GF win with a very good team by Rd 23 and started Kennedy and Sloane, also Walker :P

I realize the backs are to week and the forwards to strong but I don't want to drop any :-\ also not sure what to do with Rucks, thinking of just putting in Cox and have Rowe in forwards. Mid line is hard, I want JPK and I feel JPK, Danger and maybe Cotch will all fall from their ave to begin but not confident here!

Just not sure on backs, Hep has to improve, would like to see Birchell or Grimes but just not Shaw :P (terrible I know)

Not a bad team first up Tbag - No comments on rookies

Def: Would like to see Birchill, Duffield or similar at D# - Heppell risky for D3
Mids: Sloane may be a POD for you. If you want JPK just upgrade Murphy.
Rucks: Prefer a prem in there see suggestions following.
Fwds; Too strong imo.

Suggestion to downgrade either Varcoe or Knights to McCaffer and then upgrade McIntosh to Sandy, Maric or Jacobs.

Rate Team 7.5/10 due to risky back line but can be improved with tweaking,

tbagrocks · January 22, 2013, 04:48:10 PM

Cheers mate great stuff from you as always, don't think Heppel will pull 90's this year? Not sure how to go, gut tells me Grimes and Birchell, got an incling the very cheap Andy Otten will get a regular go at it, after serious knee injury reports are he has lost weight looking for his agility and movement with fitness to get him back to his best, good option if he can

Just got to play JPK, would love Danger but he too has a massive ave to compete with. Think i'd like to keep Murphy he's a fantastic player and Mick should find his best. probably Knights has to go, get in JPK even for Fyfe or just play Cox ruck and one less premo forward, Knights goes in if he looks like being a major player st Richmond

Rucks is hard, The one's I want all 600k, thinking just going Cox who should gun with Nat's slow start. Jacobs only worry for me if the team mates to take points off him, Sloane to improve also Wright, Smith too, Walker as well, Danger and Thommo gunning it, where are the points left for Sauce to increase to a 110 ave? Tempted to go with Sandi or Mullet, that or Cox. Even Goldy saving the 100k

Capper · January 22, 2013, 05:30:20 PM

Luke Brown at D4 is a definite no, you need someone stronger there.

You also need to upgrade HMAC as Ringo said, unless he comes out in the NAB and absolutely kills it (which is not likely).

I would almost suggest dropping a mid for a rookie and then upgrading Brown

tbagrocks · January 22, 2013, 05:39:09 PM

Yeah need to start a stronger D4 yes, but rest assured my friend that Browny will be playing and out scoring most other rooks ;) Brown is my first selected back rook!

Leaning towards Cox as first ruck, swap to the forwards and pick the best scoring ruck on upgrade from a Varcoe or Knights ect, otherwise will go with Goldy

Back yeah tough but who to start? Grimes? Broughton? Duffman? Waters? Birchell? Don't know who to start here!

tbagrocks · January 23, 2013, 05:27:28 PM

I think it's a little crazy but I would just like to sit on some midpricers and wait to see who is going to drop and which players look like the top 6-8 scores like Cotchin, Dangerman, Birchell, Wright ect. Will move Cox forward and trade a forward to a Ruck

Or should I just stick to going for the better players straight off?

tbags rocks - left with $29, 900

Back: Goddard, Gibbs, Birchell, Otten,
Stevenson, L Brown, Terlich, Docherty

Mids: Ablett, Pendlebury, Fyfe, Murphy, Sloane, Ball
K Stevens, Crouch, Viney, O'Meara,

Ruck: Goldstein, Leuenberger, Currie, Rowe

Frwd: Walker, Cox, Rockliffe, Martin, Knights
Kerridge, Growden, Staker

Only went Goldy to fit in the other players I wanted. Otten has slimmed down and should be more mobile and far to cheap for what I expext of him, Ball as a nice scoring Cash cow, Sloane to hit his 114 at the byes after a solid pre-season, Fyfe to gun it
Thanks guys

kilbluff1985 · February 03, 2013, 01:02:54 AM

really strong actually mate

i cant really fault it tbh

Jay · February 03, 2013, 12:32:09 PM

Would like to see Pittard over Stevenson ;)

Great mids, like Koby

stock-standard rucks, dont want to do something a bit different? ;D

Great prem. choices but not sure how many games Kerridge and Growden will get

Ringo · February 03, 2013, 05:43:33 PM

Like this team tbag.

Def: Sound Prems Otten interesting choice had him 2 years ago and was very good till injured. If he gets back to best form and has an injury free season will be a good POD for you.
Mids: Solid - Do not think you need Ball at M6 could downgrade to a playing rookie and use cash elsewhere.
Rucks: Solid - May be able to upgrade Goldy if downgrading Ball.
Fwds: Solid - Just watch Knights to see if in Richmonds team may have trouble forcing way in but you have the option of using Varcoe or Byrnes instead.

No comment on Rookies as they will change.

tbagrocks · February 03, 2013, 06:31:19 PM

Thanks guys, will monitor Ball but would like a better Ruck, possibly Ryder. I like the idea of 6 good scoring mids in there

Ringo · February 03, 2013, 06:38:29 PM

Your strategy tbag but just bear in mind mid rookies make the most cash. by playing 6 you may be cutting down how quickly you can get your prem team.

tbagrocks · February 28, 2013, 10:53:34 PM

Page 21 ::) took a bit to find :P, so how is the latest Rocks doing?

Decided to add Matty Wright and Heppell, added Kobe Stevens at M6 but will need to monitor him, not sold on Goldy but atm he's there, will probably change him, had to bring in JPK at Murphy's expence, should I go Sloane to Murphy? ... only $2300 left

IMO you are picking your team with your heart and not your head. Too many Crows players

tbagrocks · February 28, 2013, 11:01:15 PM

RBH I didn't notice :-[ ::) But how are they bad picks?
