Ask Ziplock Pre-season

[elephants]

Is the Swan-Beams-Pendles trifecta silly to start with? They have a pretty tough start and chances are one of them will dip...?

well, I still don't rate beams for DT, so... yes :P

the other issue is that during the bye round you're going to get screwed in your midfield :P

Haha yeah, fair point I guess.

Okay Zip, let's play a game.

I have 2.265mill to buy my...
D4 (behind Godd, Gibbs, Heppell)
M2 + M4 (Already have Swanny, Pendles, Fyfey and Moloney)
F4 (Already have Cox in rucks and Zork, Rock and Robbo in fwds)

Lets see you earn your money :P

[essendon2]

at the moment I've got Macaffer f6 - then Neade/Lee occupying the bench
is this too weak? I need some advice


Heppell + Martin + Whitfield + Pittard
vs
Hibberd + Macaffer + Murphy + Armstrong
vs
Heppell + JJK/Pettard/Varcoe/Byrnes/Knights + Whitfield + Hartlett

Heppell 90 + Martin 95 + Whitfield 80 + Pittard 65= 330
vs
Hibberd 85 + Macaffer 70 + Murphy 108 + Armstrong 80= 343
vs
Heppell 90 + JJK/Pettard/Varcoe/Byrnes/Knights 80 + Whitfield 80+ Hartlett 88= 338

I say option 2. Option 1 scores more, but you dont actually net any premiums.

[Holz]

is Goddard Gibbs Armstrong Vlaustin Pittard Goodes (Stevenson, Terlich) stupid?

have my other lines stacked with my mid Swan Ablett Pendles LIds  Watson Moloney Mitchell Wines (omeara, Crouch)

[Ricochet]

Zorko + Robinson + Mummy
vs
Martin + Wright + Cox

[essendon2]

Zorko + Robinson + Mummy
vs
Martin + Wright + Cox

Roughy + Martin + Robbo  ???

It doesn't look too bad... I'd really prefer another premium in there though, or even someone like heppell. I reckon if you're lucky two of those rookie defenders will push high 60s- low 70s, compared to mid rookies who can hit 80- low 90s

[Ziplock]

Zorko  92 + Robinsonv 100 + Mummy 85= 277
vs
Martin 95 + Wright 83 + Cox 103= 281

option 2 for me... honestly, I probably would have said it even if it had lost be a couple of points- you're getting 2 premiums out of it compared to option 1s one premium.

[powersuperkents]

B. Goodes + Boyd + Martin

vs

Colquin + Cotchin + Robinson

[blues boy]

D. Cox (R1) + J. Roughead (R2) + Varcoe (F3) + J. Bartel (F1)

Or

B. Longer (R2) + I. Maric (R1) + D. Cox (F1) + J. Roughead (F4)

[Money]

Hey Ziplock,

I'm thinking of getting Jobe Watson, if he worth it?

It would also mean getting rid of Cotchin or Pendles

[essendon2]

What are you going to do about Leuy if he doesn't play?

I've got Roughy in the FWDs

team:

God, Gibbs, Hartlett, Armst, 2 x rook
Swan, GAJ, Boyd, Pendles, Fyfe, 3 x rook
Cox, Leuy
Zork, Rocky, Robbo, Roughy, Karnz, Mac

1k left,
what should i do  :-[

[Ricochet]

Based on the first 6 rounds...

Murphy + Setanta/Currie/Rowe/Grundy/Daw (any ruck under 190k)

vs

Maric + Wines/Whitfield

[Ziplock]

B. Goodes + Boyd + Martin

vs

Colquin + Cotchin + Robinson
